The end time of metaphysical exchange activities is uncertain, but most of them will not be delayed until the early morning of the next day.
After Rong Jing finished drawing all the talismans in his hand, it was almost midnight.
The swaying lanterns became more and more conspicuous in the deep night. The pale red candlelight reflected on people and cast a deep shadow on the bluestone floor.
Xie Xuanqing was holding the small sandalwood box containing the Huzhou pen in his hand. After walking for a while, he looked down at his shadow and the shadow of Rong Jing entangled side by side at his feet.
It's just a little distance away, but it seems within reach.
Subconsciously, she moved closer to Rong Jing, and their shadows became more entangled.
Xie Xuanqing looked at this scene, but suddenly felt a little confused.
It seemed that he had done something similar a long time ago, but the scene was so blurry that when Xie Xuanqing calmed down and recalled it, it had disappeared without a trace.
His eyes were startled for a moment, and Xie Xuanqing's steps as he followed Rong Jing slowed down.
Rong Jing was casually looking at the trading items displayed by other Heavenly Masters on the roadside. When he noticed his movements, he unconsciously turned his head and glanced at him.
The light and indifferent gaze has a strong presence as if it were real.
Xie Xuanqing noticed his gaze, came back to his senses in an instant, and smiled at Rong Jing.
"Did you see anything of interest, Mr. Rong?"
They were now getting closer, so they naturally lowered their voices when they spoke, seeming somewhat intimate.
A familiar low voice came along with a faint scent of sandalwood, accompanied by the noisy voices around and the candlelight scattered on the ground. In a trance, Rong Jing almost thought that he was still in the Dazhao Dynasty, strolling around the Lantern Festival with Xie Chong.
Perhaps it was because the candlelight here was too dim, and Xie Xuanqing's voice and face were too familiar.
Master Rong's eyelashes trembled slightly, and then he retracted his gaze and said in a calm voice: "Hmm? ... Nothing of interest."
But having said that, Rong Jing finally exchanged some things from several Heavenly Masters.
There are ginseng and Polygonum multiflorum that are four or five hundred years old and have a hint of spiritual energy, and there are also one or two exquisite spiritual plants -
These two spiritual plants are not like the magical herbs and medicines written in the books about cultivating immortals that can greatly increase one's cultivation level by decades if eaten. Instead, they are plants that, by chance, received a gift from heaven.
These plants have absorbed the breath of nature, and as they grow, they also develop a certain amount of spiritual energy.
It's just that the spiritual energy of this kind of spiritual plant is mostly thin, and it's not of much use to the Heavenly Master. At most, it has some effect of calming the mind.
But for ordinary people, the spiritual energy emitted by these two spiritual plants is enough to stimulate the vitality in their bodies, making them healthy and full of spirits.
Rong Jing exchanged a Zhen Yin Talisman and a Zhen Zhai Talisman for the two spiritual plants, and then casually handed them to Xie Xuanqing.
Patriarch Xie, who had seen a lot of things, was stunned for a moment: "Sir, is this... for me?"
Just by looking at the price Rong Jing paid in exchange for these two plants, Xie Xuanqing knew that these two seemingly ordinary pots of succulents should not be simple.
But he didn't expect that after Rong Jing got the exchange, he would directly give him the two pots of plants.
"Hmm." Rong Jing didn't think too much about it. He just saw that among the things the Taoist priest took out, only these two things could be considered useful, so he exchanged them casually.
"These two spiritual plants are quite suitable for you."
Xie Xuan had a dangerous fate and was prone to hurting himself and others. However, with these two spiritual plants by his side, they could slightly neutralize the aura around him, so that the evil spirit would not condense in the room and cause trouble.
His tone was natural and light. Xie Xuan paused for a second before reaching out to take the two pots of succulents.
With the corners of his lips slightly raised, Xie Xuan looked at Rong Jing quietly with a deep gaze and replied in a low voice.
"...Then I would like to thank Mr. Rong for his kindness."
A deep, magnetic voice echoed in his ears. When Rong Jing heard the words, the tips of his ears hidden under his silver hair moved unconsciously.
"……nothing."
After walking for a while, by the second half of the night, most people in the venue had left.
Many Heavenly Masters exchanged for things that satisfied them and left with smiles on their faces.
The dozen or so heavenly masters from the special departments also returned with a full load.
Master Long added the master who specialized in witchcraft on WeChat, so that they could share their knowledge and experience if they encountered any problems in their practice in the future.
Taoist Master Miaoyin specializes in the art of talismans. With the video of Rong Jing's previous explanation and the Fu Ling Talisman she bought, she doesn't have to worry about what direction to study in her practice in the coming days.
There are not many heavenly masters practicing Buddhism, but there are quite a few. The things that Master Yuankong brought have brought a lot of benefits.
And the rest, including Master Bai Tian, Master Pei Tian, etc., also exchanged for a lot of good things.
Before Zhou Songyun came here, he was worried that some of the Heavenly Masters would be in a bad mood because they couldn't get what they wanted. Now that he saw everyone had smiles on their faces, he felt relieved.
After saying hello, the car arranged by the special department to pick up the heavenly masters also arrived outside the old street.
Zhou Songyun glanced at Rong Jing, then at Xie Xuanqing standing next to him, and felt vaguely that something was strange, but after calming himself down, he still asked Rong Jing if he wanted to go back with them.
They came together, so there was no need for them to separate when they returned.
Rong Jing responded indifferently, turned around, and saw Xie Xuanqing standing quietly behind him, looking at them with a smile.
"You..." Rong Guoshi frowned subconsciously and wanted to ask a question, but then he saw Xie Xuanqing quickly lower his eyelashes, and the whole person looked a little...
Lonely?
Rong Jing: “…”
"Do you want to go with us?" he asked lightly, then remembered something and turned to look at Zhou Songyun.
The moment Xie Xuanqing heard Rong Jing speak, the smile on his lips became much more genuine.
Seeing Rong Jing's expression, he also raised his eyes and looked at Zhou Songyun, and asked politely: "Will this disturb the Heavenly Masters?"
They walked together the entire evening, and although their expressions were not ambiguous when they were together, they also did not resemble the attitude between ordinary noble families and ordinary heavenly masters.
Master Long Tianshi and the others had experienced what happened at the Lan family tonight. In addition to the cultivation level that Rong Jing had shown previously, they had all directly or indirectly owed Rong Jing favors. At this time, Rong Jing took the initiative to suggest that Xie Xuanqing go with them. Everyone looked at each other, but no one objected.
Besides, the Xie family has a solid foundation. Although they have reached a cooperative relationship with a special state department, if they want to gain fame and earn some pocket money, the aristocratic families are the ones who get the lion's share.
Master Yuankong clasped his hands together and chanted a Buddhist mantra in a low voice: "Since Master Rongtian has spoken, how can it be said that I am disturbing you?"
The other heavenly masters also nodded in agreement.
Zhou Songyun saw this and naturally had no reason to object. Apart from anything else, their special department still owed Xie Xuanqing many favors.
However, since there was one more person, Zhou Songyun thought about it and decided to contact someone to drive another car over.
The venue had almost completely fallen silent.
The group walked out slowly and leisurely. Several Heavenly Masters who had good relationships walked together, chatting about their gains of the night.
Zhou Songyun walked in the front to arrange the position of the car, while Rong Jing and Xie Xuanqing fell behind.
The sound of "tapping" footsteps echoed in the alley, and Xie Xuanqing noticed two strange heads popping out of a shop nearby.
Looking closely, they were actually two paper figures.
The paper man blinked and stared at Master Long Tianshi and others walking in the alley, and then the moment he saw Rong Jing's figure, he suddenly stood up and called out stiffly, "Brother".
The other heavenly masters noticed their presence, stopped and looked at the two paper figures.
Rong Jing also saw the two familiar paper figures. His brows twitched slightly, and he seemed to remember something in a trance.
He walked over, and the two paper figures waved him to squat down: "We just saw it, you teach those people who don't taste good a lesson."
As they spoke, the two paper figures scratched their bellies in sync and said, "Our master said you are very powerful, so we came to say something to you again."
"...Can you sell him one of the same talismans you sold to those people?"
Rong Jing: “……?”
As the paper man was talking, a pitch-black head popped out of the shop again.
The other person's appearance was indeed not very good. His slightly long hair was tangled into a mess, and his pale face was covered with untidy beard. It seemed that he had not groomed himself for some time.
Seeing Rong Jing looking over, he held the tablet and smiled a little embarrassedly: "Can you sell me that Soul Restoring Talisman?"
Although this man doesn't look very good, the aura he exudes is powerful, not much inferior to that of Master Long Tianshi.
The Heavenly Masters present couldn't help but frown when they saw him suddenly appear: "Your Excellency is...?"
There didn't seem to be anyone who matched the person in front of him on the invitation list for the metaphysics exchange event.
"I'm the owner of this store." The man seemed a little uncomfortable being watched by so many eyes. "I just open a small store to make a living."
He really seemed open-minded. Most ordinary Heavenly Masters would not be content to work in a small shop, whether for fame or profit.
From their perspective, this store really wasn't that big.
The shop is about 20 to 30 square meters in total, separated into front and back. There are several large counters in the front hall, on which are placed incense, candles, paper clothes, yellow paper, cinnabar and other miscellaneous items. Business does not seem to be good.
But the shop owner himself obviously didn't care about this. He held the tablet and looked at Rong Jing eagerly.
The two little paper figures had the same expression as him, and their stiff fingers were loosely pulling at the hem of Rong Jing's clothes.
Rong Jing lowered his eyes and glanced at them, then finally said, "...Okay."
Although the other party's image did not look very good, Rong Jing took a look at the aura on him. A faint layer of moral golden light was as beautiful as the sunlight and moonlight. There was no problem in selling him a Soul-Restoring Talisman.
It’s just two million...it seems like the other party can’t afford it.
Rong Jing: “…”
The owner himself: “…”
Can he exchange those two paper figures?
His thoughtful gaze fell on the two little paper figures, and the two paper figures immediately took a step back, obviously aware of his thoughts.
Fortunately, he had only thought so. The silver-haired young man had an ethereal and mysterious aura that was frightening. He just wanted to exchange for a soul-restoring talisman, but did not want to have anything to do with the other party.
After thinking for a while, he turned and walked into the back of the store. After a while, he came out with two more things in his hands.
One is an old-fashioned copper compass, with a thin layer of spiritual energy lingering on it, which can make the calculation results more accurate;
One of them is a light green bamboo pen. The pen handle is soft and full of pure spiritual energy. There is still a trace of the breath of the Taoist priest who used this pen before. Maybe you can get some inspiration from it when drawing talismans.
These two things are not too expensive, but they are rare if you say they are common.
The shop owner looked a little distressed when he took it out, but he specialized in the art of talismans, and the compass was not of much use to him. There were also better alternatives to the bamboo pen, so his attitude was still decisive.
"I'll exchange these two things, okay?"
In fact, the selling price of these two items is definitely more than two million, but a lost talisman is extremely rare. Although the owner knows this, he still wants to exchange it directly.
It’s just that Rong Jing himself has the Zhoutian Gua and the Dianling Pen, but these two things are useless to him.
His eyebrows moved slightly, and before Rong Jing could speak, Taoist Miaoyin and a celestial master in the team said directly: "I'll give you one million in exchange for this bamboo pen/this compass!"
The two looked at each other again, and saw a hint of excitement in each other's eyes.
Rong Jing doesn't think highly of these two things, but to them, they are of great use!
The shop owner did not expect this to happen, but he noticed Rong Jing's expression before and knew that the other party might not be very interested in his two things, so he nodded directly and agreed to the deal proposed by Taoist Miaoyin and others.
Two million was directly transferred into Rong Jing's bank card. Rong Jing took out his mobile phone and took a look at it. Then he took out the extra Soul-Restoring Talisman that he had drawn before and handed it to the other party.
The shop owner excitedly took the Soul-Restoring Talisman in his hand and looked at it over and over again several times before he managed to calm himself down and thanked Rong Jing.
The two paper figures also shouted "Thank you, brother" in unison. Rong Jing paused for a moment, then shook his head calmly: "Nothing."
After saying that, he raised his finger and sent another stream of spiritual energy to the two paper figures.
After saying goodbye to the shop owner, everyone continued walking out of the alley.
Miaoyin and the other Heavenly Master never expected that this time they would not only witness the methods of many powerful Heavenly Masters, but also be able to exchange for magical instruments that suit them when they leave.
But if you think about it carefully, this opportunity is actually closely related to Rong Jing.
If it weren't for the other party's soul-restoring talisman, the shop owner might not have let the paper man stop them and take out his own collection.
After thinking about it, the two put away their things and walked up to Rong Jing and thanked him solemnly.
Rong Jing: "It's just a transaction of money and goods, you two don't need to care about it."
Taoist Miaoyin smiled.
Even if it's a transaction of money and goods, Rong Jing has to provide the "goods".
But speaking of it, she was curious before why all the Heavenly Masters who exchanged for the Soul-Restoring Talisman got the talisman, but Rong Jing still wanted to draw one more. Could it be that he had already anticipated such a situation?
——Then how sophisticated is his divination skill?
Miaoyin's heart was shocked. Looking at Rong Jing's back as he walked out, she once again felt the unfathomable nature of this young man.
But Zhou Songyun noticed more than that.
From the emotions revealed on the faces of Rong Jing, Taoist Miaoyin and others just now, he keenly realized that the cultivation level of the person just now was probably not simple.
The special department is currently reintegrating its personnel. If this Heavenly Master is truly powerful enough and passes the review, he can be developed.
The special department’s influence in Zhao City is indeed insufficient.
However, there was no need to say these words to the Heavenly Masters present. Zhou Songyun escorted everyone to the car. When he was thinking about what to do next, he saw Rong Jing glanced at him indifferently as if unintentionally.
With just this one glance, Zhou Songyun had the illusion that his thoughts were completely seen through.
"Sir, do you think highly of the man just now?" The car drove forward. There were only Rong Jing and Xie Xuanqing in the car.
Looking at the driver in the front seat, Xie Xuanqing asked.
There was a hint in the deep voice that Master Rong could not understand.
His Mr. Rong was rarely so...easy-going towards a stranger.
Although Rong Jing's expression was still indifferent just now, his actions were in line with the other party's.
If that person hadn't really cared about his image, Patriarch Xie would have almost lost control of his emotions.
——But he hasn't completely controlled it now.
Rong Jing frowned, feeling a little strange at his tone. After a few seconds, he said calmly, "Not really."
The opponent’s strength was indeed good, but in the eyes of Master Rong, it was just barely acceptable.
The reason why he had some patience with the other party was only because of the golden light of merit on the other party and the face of the two paper figures.
However, Xie Xuanqing still looked at him quietly. Rong Jing paused for a moment and said, "But his aura is pure, so there is no problem in giving him a soul-restoring talisman."
"Is that so..." Xie Xuan smiled slightly, "Thank you, Mr. Xie, for clearing up my confusion."
Rong Jing: “…”
That’s right, he was just returning a favor, why should he explain it to Xie Xuanqing?
But before he could figure it out, Xie Xuanqing had already changed the subject.
Master Rong couldn't help but frown when he saw this, but he actually still responded very honestly from time to time.
A smile flashed in Xie Xuanqing's eyes.
The car stopped in front of the hotel where the Heavenly Masters were staying. Xie Xuanqing flew here from Beijing temporarily, but he had his secretary Yue Feng with him. After he came out of the venue, Yue Feng booked a room for him in the hotel where Rong Jing was staying.
They took the elevator upstairs together. Xie Xuanqing looked at Rong Jing's back as he turned back to his room and smiled, "Good night, Mr. Rong."
Rong Jing paused as he was about to open the door with the room card, then said "hmm" faintly, which was considered as a response.
Xie Xuanqing didn't care. He watched his figure disappear behind the door quietly, then raised his hand and pressed the elevator button.
After returning to the room, Xie Xuanqing carefully placed the two spiritual plants on the table, then went to the bathroom to fetch some water and watered them. Then he took a set of clothes and went to the bathroom to wash up.
Hot water gushed out of the shower head, wetting the thick black hair.
Xie Xuan gently raised his hand to put his hair behind his head, then lowered his eyes, thinking about everything that had happened during this period of time.
He hadn't had those dreams for some time, and the image of the silver-haired young man that appeared in his dreams became more vivid and familiar.
Cold and mysterious, with a fragile and delicate face, yet a dazzlingly powerful presence.
The hot water was twisted into cold water.
Xie Xuanqing stayed in the bathroom for more than half an hour before coming out feeling cold.
The cold water vapor made his eyebrows and eyes look even colder. Only when he saw the two spiritual plants on the table did Xie Xuanqing's eyebrows soften a little, and an indescribable complex emotion flashed in his dark eyes.
From the moment he took over his parents' ashes, he knew that he could only get what he wanted by himself from now on.
Whether it is the Xie Group or others.
Today, he still thinks the same way.
The next morning, the Taoist priests from the special department planned to go back.
Rong Jing had almost finished his entire trip, so he followed their special plane back.
Zhou Songyun originally thought that Xie Xuanqing would leave with them this time, but Xie Xuanqing shook his head and said, "Thank you for your kindness, Captain Zhou. However, I have business to attend to, so I won't bother you."
Oh, that’s right, the man in front of him is the head of a large group... Zhou Songyun thought, every time he saw Master Rong Tian, he saw the head of the Xie family following him, and he almost thought he was Master Rong Tian’s assistant.
As if he had heard their conversation, Rong Jing, who was sitting in the car, raised his eyes slightly and glanced over here.
Zhou Songyun: "Then I wish Master Xie success in getting the business."
Xie Xuanqing: "Thank you Captain Zhou for your kindness."
He stood at the door of the hotel, watching the special department's car preparing to leave, then lowered his head and smiled at Rong Jing who was sitting in the car not far away: "Mr. Rong, see you in Beijing."
Her amber eyes were as clear and calm as lake water, and they seemed to ripple slightly when she heard the words.
Just when Xie Xuanqing wanted to catch that ripple, Rong Jing had already withdrawn his gaze: "Yeah."
The car drove out slowly.
Xie Xuanqing stood there for a few seconds, then retracted his gaze and walked towards the black Cullinan that had been waiting on the side.
It wasn't a lie when he said he had business.
The ethnic ecological tourism park hosted by Ji finally opened a few days ago, and the number of tourists in the past few days has been extremely astonishing.
As one of the main investors of this project, Xie naturally received a lot of information and now he is going to continue discussing the next contract matters with Ji Yucheng.
——Speaking of which, this opportunity seemed to have been given to him by his Mr. Rong.
Xie Xuan smiled slightly, then quickly put away his smile.
"Go to Ji's house."
Driver: “Yes, sir.”
As soon as Ji Yucheng saw Xie Xuanqing getting out of the car, he became nervous about the upcoming negotiations.
This is indeed the case. Xie Xuanqing's attitude is extremely strong, and every word he says hits the nail on the head. He keeps getting stuck in Ji Yucheng's psychological defenses. He is simply a cunning and cruel old fox!
After signing the contract, Ji Yucheng said with a fake smile: "It's a pleasure to cooperate with you, thank you, Master."
"Yes." Xie Xuanqing looked calm, and stretched out his hand very gentlemanly, shaking hands with him, "It's a pleasure to work with you."
Ji Yucheng: "..."
It was extremely quiet on the plane.
The celestial masters participated in the metaphysical exchange activities. Although not everyone was selected by the Xuanlingzhan to share, listening to other people's experiences and recording them in detail was also an extremely exhausting task.
Coupled with the subsequent trade fair, everyone was exhausted and so they all took a nap on the special plane.
Rong Jing was also lying in his seat wrapped in a blanket. The slight humming sound of the special plane's engine made him feel inexplicably upset.
"I thought Patriarch Xie would go back with you, Master Rong." Master Long Tianshi suddenly said softly.
They were sitting next door to each other, and although Master Long Tianshi's voice wasn't loud, it did not prevent Rong Jing from hearing clearly what she said.
"Isn't he busy?" Rong Jing heard himself answer indifferently.
Master Long: "That's right, but I thought at first that he came here just for you, Master Rong..."
Rong Jing paused while pulling the quilt tighter, and subconsciously asked, "What?"
Tianshi Long looked at his slightly frowned brows and smiled: "Tianshi Rong, what do you think is the relationship between you and Patriarch Xie?"
——What is the relationship?
...Aren’t we friends?
Rong Jing frowned even more tightly, but still answered truthfully.
Master Long Tian looked at him intently for a few seconds.
Then he raised his hand, yawned, and said with a smile: "Then we are friends."
Rong Jing: “…”
She always felt that there seemed to be something else behind her words, but Rong Jing glanced at her and didn't know how to ask.
My already irritable mood suddenly became even more indescribable.
Rong Jing retracted his gaze and took out his cell phone to take a look.
The signal had been turned off before boarding the special plane, but the message someone had sent earlier had already been received.
Xie Xuanqing: Have a safe journey.
Xie Xuanqing: [Cat holding flowers.jpg]
