Chapter 138 Why didn’t you tell me about this good news? Fishing Huo Kunlun into a black carp!
"Is this the Lanyue Sect?"
"Is this a third-rate sect???"
"This is fucking ridiculous. Not to mention our Fire Virtue Sect, even the Beast Taming Sect may not be able to see such a scene, right?"
"Eight Treasures Chicken and Eight Treasures Duck in groups???"
Everyone in Huo Kunlun was dumbfounded.
Even if it's just a small group.
But he could see clearly that there were both males and females, and they looked very happy and contented. There were even two of them mating. Doesn't this mean that they can reproduce on their own???
What third-rate sect would raise the eight ancient delicacies like ordinary chickens and ducks!
Even in the holy land, one might not be able to see such a scene.
Is the Lanyue Sect going to defy the will of heaven? !
Oh shit!
Huo Kunlun exclaimed “Oh my god!”
He even felt that he had said less "fuck" in the first half of his life than in this half hour.
Then, he couldn't help but start fantasizing.
How great would it be if these things all belonged to our own Huode Sect?
Your mouth is about to be crooked from smiling, right? ? ?
Unfortunately, it belongs to someone else!
Huo Kunlun could no longer laugh.
I even felt extremely heavy and uncomfortable.
Even the steps became heavier and slower.
······
“Comfortable!!!”
Zhao Tiezhu successfully broke through and became a powerful person.
He couldn't help but let out a long roar towards the sky, his voice shaking the heavens.
But soon, he restrained himself.
"That's not right. We can't make too much noise and disturb the cultivation of these cute little guys in the Lanyue Sect. Well, just be happy."
He broke through the barrier.
Jin Zhen and Ma Canlan, who sensed his breakthrough, were already waiting outside the cave.
"Congratulations!" Jin Zhen laughed and said, "After so many years, Third Brother, you have finally made a great step forward and achieved great power."
"Our Huode Sect can become stronger because of you."
"Yes." Ma Canlan was filled with emotion: "This moment reminds me of the past when we were young. It was also a brilliant era..."
"Over the years, we have been secretly worried about you, but now we can rest assured."
"It's time, it's fate."
Zhao Tiezhu sighed, "Once upon a time, I was almost in despair, but I never thought that by some strange coincidence, I would meet someone in Lanyue Sect... Alas, it is difficult to repay such a kindness."
"The only way to repay this kindness is to contribute more to the Lanyue Sect and teach more disciples, right?"
He was very happy, but also very sad.
A breakthrough is naturally a great joy, not to mention that after so many years of being stuck, he finally became a powerful person. Even getting drunk for three days would not be an exaggeration at all.
But then I thought, how can I repay all the favors I owe?
"Want to return it?"
As experienced people, Jin Zhen and Ma Canlan smiled helplessly: "It's not finished yet."
"Unless you can be cruel enough to leave immediately, you will never be able to repay it in your lifetime."
"Of course there is another possibility, that is, we die and the debt is settled, or the Moon Lan Sect is destroyed due to force majeure..."
"How come?"
Zhao Tiezhu didn't believe it: "Why can't I pay it off in my lifetime?"
"Oh."
Ma Canlan laughed strangely and said, "You will understand it later."
"good."
Jin Zhen stroked his beard, half smiling.
"Hurrah!"
"You are all here indeed!"
“Okay, okay!”
The three were chatting when they heard an angry and extremely familiar voice. Suddenly their bodies froze and their scalps went numb. Even though they were all powerful people, they were so scared that their legs went weak and they almost ran away.
"Sect... Sect Master?!"
They were completely stunned as they looked at the rapidly approaching Huo Kunlun.
"Why did the Sect Master come here in person?"
"What should I do?"
"It's all over, it's all over now!!!"
They were close to despair.
Huo Kunlun became even more furious when he saw this.
Just now he was about to find someone to ask about the whereabouts of the three people, but he happened to hear Zhao Tiezhu's long howl, so he immediately followed the sound.
But I never expected to see three people talking and laughing...
Suddenly he laughed out of anger.
"Okay, okay, you three, that's great!"
"The Huode Sect is busy and in need of people, but you are all hiding here without saying a word. If someone doesn't know, they would think you are the elders of the Lanyue Sect!"
"breakthrough?"
"Oh? Third Elder, you did make a breakthrough. You didn't lie to me."
Huo Kunlun was shocked.
A breakthrough?!
This is a great thing.
but···
The anger is still there. How can it be eliminated just because the Third Elder has a breakthrough?
"But you guys kept it a secret from me, the Sect Master. Don't you feel guilty about it?!"
"Hidden from you?"
Zhao Tiezhu shuddered and said awkwardly: "Master, we don't know what you are talking about. We didn't hide it from you. Besides, you also saw that I did have some enlightenment and just broke through..."
"Yes, Sect Master. I can testify that the third brother just had a breakthrough. The long roar he just let out was because he couldn't help but let out after the breakthrough." Jin Zhen hurriedly stood up for him.
"I can also testify!" Ma Canlan stepped forward and said, "Master, you know me well. This old man and I are enemies. If he is talking nonsense, why would I not expose him but agree with him?"
"What he said is indeed true!"
"Also, there's one more thing."
Ma Canlan said again: "Sect Master, this..."
"Well, that's..."
"Well, I have also had some enlightenment and am about to break through, so I would like to stay here for the time being and let the first and third elders protect me for the time being. After I break through, the three of us can go back together, how about that?"
Upon hearing this, Huo Kunlun became even more furious.
"Okay, okay, you guys are really so nice!"
"Brotherly love!"
"But you should never, ever treat this sect master like a fool!"
"Is this sect master really that stupid?"
"Throughout this journey, I have learned everything that I should know and don't know!"
"You guys actually still want to fool this sect master like this?"
“This is simply outrageous.”
"This is intolerable!"
"Ah, this?!"
The three of them were even more shocked and their voices trembled.
The Great Elder cautiously asked, "Sect Master, what do you know?"
"Know what?"
Huo Kunlun sneered: "I know everything!"
"Aren't you ashamed of using someone else's elixir to break through?"
"ah?!"
"After all, you are an elder of the Huode Sect, a high-ranking official among the high-ranking officials, but you shamelessly stay in the Lanyue Sect and even teach classes together with them, right?"
"Where is the face left!"
"You are all old guys, how could you be like this?"
"How will this make others view you, and how will they view me, the Huode Sect?"
After a round of furious cursing, the three of them were so angry that they became like three quails, with their heads lowered and huddled together, not daring to look up at Huo Kunlun.
"ah?"
"Why don't you guys talk?!"
"Why does my Huode Sect have three elders like you???"
"You ignored your own disciples. When Huode Sect asked you to teach, you always had various excuses to shirk your duties. Even when you taught, your attitude was extremely bad and your teachings were extremely mysterious."
"When I arrived at the Lanyue Sect, hey, you are closer to me than my own grandson! All along the way, I heard nothing but praise for you, saying that you are good at speaking and have a very good temper."
"If you have this kind of personality, why don't you stay in Huode Sect?"
"Which sect's elders are you from, huh?!"
"Speak up!!!"
"Are there still sect rules? Are there still laws?"
“Where are your morals?”
“Where’s the character?”
"Where is the face?"
"Where is the elixir?"
"ah?!"
The three of them were almost stunned by the criticism and did not even think about replying. After all, they were the ones who were wrong in this matter. If you look at it in a small way, it is not a big problem, but if you look at it in a big way, it is definitely not a small problem either.
Therefore, they are all prepared to be criticized and will never talk back.
After all, the fact that he could say these words meant that Huo Kunlun indeed knew everything, and it would be useless to quibble or say anything else.
As the saying goes, you have to admit that you are short and stand firm when you are beaten.
Since you did this, you must bear the consequences.
But the result...
The sudden words made the three of them look up in surprise, and they were all stunned.
Looking at Huo Kunlun, who was spitting and glaring, Ma Canlan said cautiously: "Master, you just asked..."
"Didn't you hear?!"
"Are you deaf?!"
Huo Kunlun started to rant again.
"cough."
Jin Zhen took out a jade bottle: "There's not much left."
"Show it to me!"
Is it really there?! So I guessed right, there really is an elixir, and it made them so devoted to it, so the quality must be good, right?
There isn’t much left, so is there still some left?
How much did you give?
Huo Kunlun was secretly surprised, but he still looked fierce on the surface. He snatched the jade bottle and opened it.
There is no use for spiritual consciousness.
Close your left eye and look into the bottle mouth with your right eye.
"He Dao Dan..."
"Twelve?!"
"Five seventh-grade pieces, six sixth-grade pieces, and one fifth-grade piece!!!"
hiss!!!
The scene he saw made Huo Kunlun's heart beat faster, and he couldn't help but gasp.
Even though he was ready to lose his temper and prepared not to change his mind no matter what he saw, this one glance still made his expression change drastically.
For a while...
Even faith began to collapse gradually.
There was a mad and silent roar in my heart.
"You mean there's not much left???"
"You mean you ate a lot before this?"
"They are at least of the fifth grade or above. There are far more than ten of these high-quality pills... Are you trying to defy the will of heaven?!"
"Even though I'm the leader of Huode Sect, and even though our Huode Sect is financially strong, elixirs of this quality can't just be bought whenever we want, right?"
“There is no demand for it!!!”
"Fifth-grade, I can occasionally spend a lot of money to buy a few, sixth-grade? I haven't seen it in many years? Seventh-grade? I've never eaten it!!!"
"But you have five of the remaining seven-grade pieces?"
"Tell me, how fragrant is this elixir?"
“How effective is it?”
"I..."
“What the hell!”
I exclaimed in my heart again: “Oh shit!”
火昆仑彻底麻了。
原本以为自己已经做好的心理准备、布好的心理防线，在此刻，全然不堪一击。
甚至，他突然便理解金振三人了。
莫说是他们。
这就算是换了自己···
除非火德宗有要紧事，非自己在场主持不可···那自己也不想回去啊！！！
咳。
他强迫自己冷静下来，收拾心情、管理自己的表情。
只是，那捏着玉瓶的手，却是久久不愿放开。
而后面无表情道：“你们也有？”
马灿烂挠头：“有，不过没大长老多。”
唉，谁让我上次出手慢了呢？
再有下次，我定然第一个冲上去！
“我没了。”
赵铁柱无奈一笑：“我刚到揽月宗，怎么好意思要多少丹药？此番突破，已然尽皆用了，不过···”
火昆仑听的心脏都慢了半拍。
特么的！
刚到揽月宗，得到的丹药都足够你突破了，这待遇···
我都要眼红啊！
“不过什么？”
“不过，待我想办法凑上一些材料，便可请灵儿姑娘替我炼制一些。”
“···成功率几何？”火昆仑心神激荡。
对对对，太对了。
就是这个味儿！
我就知道！
“成功率如何我们倒是不知。”三人纷纷摇头：“不过，咱们与灵儿姑娘以及揽月宗关系不错。”
“灵儿姑娘特许，咱们拥有五品保底。”
“一份材料，保底可出一枚五品丹药。”
“什么？？？！！”
火昆仑的声音顿时提高十八度。
好家伙，五品保底？？？
特么的，与我们火德宗关系最好的炼丹师，也就只能给三品保底吧？而且人家还忙的要死，一年到头也开不了几炉合道丹···
结果你们这儿···
“给多少都能有五品保底？”
“嗯。”金振点头：“至少在此之前是如此。”
“而且效率很高！”马灿烂在一旁帮腔。
之前，他们想隐瞒。
但现在既然已经暴露，便无需如此。
甚至，他们还要猛吹萧灵儿。
吹的越厉害，自己等人的‘罪过’便越轻。
不是我们不要脸、也不是我们不道德、没见过世面，而是萧灵儿的确很牛，且这丹药，着实太香了啊！
“今日给材料，或许明日，便能给我们丹药，且最少都是五品保底，偶尔夹杂着六品。”
“那七品是？？？”
偶尔有六品？
火昆仑抓住问题关键点。
金振可是还有五枚七品！
金振眼巴巴盯着火昆仑手中玉瓶，道：“那是我用命换来的。”
“仔细说说！”
“就是之前揽月宗遭遇危机，我看不惯，随之出手···然后···”
“这些七品丹药，是我特意留下的。”金振苦哈哈道：“我先吃品质较低的那些，待我濒临突破，或是境界更高时，才吃品质更高的丹药。”
“事情经过就是如此。”
眼下之意就是···那些七品可是我用命换来的，自己都还没吃呢。
你这个做宗主的，总不能给我贪墨了去吧？
火昆仑眉头拧起，一时间思绪万千。
这一刻，他都不知该说些什么才好了。
震惊。
且心乱如麻。
这萧灵儿简直不是人啊。
炼丹天赋和手段，也未免太强横了些？
而且，为揽月宗出力，便给如此好处？
这这这···
这让本宗主如何是好？
他一时间难以决断，面色阴晴不定。
而笑嘻嘻赶来准备道贺的火云儿刚一靠近，便瞧见那熟悉的背影，顿时浑身一震，懵了。
险些惊叫出声。
好在最后关头反应过来，一把捂住自己的樱桃小嘴，这才没发出声音。
她在火昆仑后方，刚好正对金振三人，他们面色一紧，连忙给她打眼色，并轻轻打手势，让她悄然离开。
火云儿点点头，捂着嘴，脚踏云雾，无声无息后退···
“过来。”
火昆仑头也不回，却是冷哼一声：“当我老糊涂了？”
“还是你以为自己的潜行之术，能瞒过我？”
“额。”
“爹。”
火云儿险些哭出声来，无奈过来，低着头，如霜打的茄子——焉了。
“你不是在帝京么？”
“咳，我···我回来了。”
“哼。”
火昆仑怒瞪她一眼，终于是做出决定：“带我去找萧灵儿！”
“啊？她，她还没回来。”
火云儿心头一紧，害怕自己父亲会对萧灵儿不利，连忙开口。
同时暗自庆幸，还好萧灵儿还没回来，否则~
“大师姐回来了！！！”
恰在此时，一道满怀喜悦的声音传出很远、很远。
萧灵儿归来！
火云儿顿时面色惨白。
火昆仑撇了她一眼：“你倒是没骗我，但现在，她回来了，不用你带，我自己去。”
说完，火昆仑便腾云驾雾前去‘拦截’萧灵儿。
火云儿大急，一把抓住他：“爹，你别去。”
“这不关她的事儿，我跟你回去，再也不出来就是了。”
然而。
火昆仑根本不搭理她。
双方巨大的实力差距，也让火云儿的努力于事无补，反倒是连带自己一同被拉走。
金振三人苦笑不已，却也只能跟上去，并相互传音：“怎么办？”
“且看宗主如何吧，他应当不会太过冲动才是。”
“若是宗主要乱来···”
“我等说什么也要阻拦才是。”
“不错，此事错在我等，与灵儿有什么关系？要打，也该是打我们，可不能让灵儿姑娘遭受无妄之···嗯？！！”
“我看到了什么？！”
三人正纠结着呢，却是突然懵了。
眼睁睁看着火昆仑拉着火云儿气势汹汹将萧灵儿拦住，他们屏住呼吸，还以为火昆仑要发飙···
却见他突然露出笑容，对萧灵儿行了个道礼，并轻笑道：“灵儿姑娘，咱们又见面了。”
“前些日子帝京之行，这丫头给你添麻烦了吧？”
“我这个做父亲的，先给你赔个不是。”
满脸交集的火云儿懵了。
“啊？(⊙o⊙)？？？”
甚至都有动手打算，准备无论如何都要拦下自家宗主的金振三人也懵了。
“啊这？”
Σ(⊙▽⊙“a？？？
不是。
这怎么跟我们想象中不一样啊？
你方才把我们骂的狗血淋头，还摆出那副气势汹汹的模样，我们都以为你要骂人家，甚至直接动手好吧？
结果你这变脸速度也未免太快了一些吧？！
在他们的懵逼之中，萧灵儿颇有些惊讶，道：“火宗主？”
“您怎么在此？”
“叫什么火宗主？生分，太生分了！”火昆仑故作不乐意，道：“你与云儿情同姐妹，况且你还救过她的命，若是不嫌弃，叫一声伯父便好。”
“来，云儿，你不是一直与为父说想找灵儿玩儿么？现在她回来了，去玩儿吧。”
他伸手一推。
火云儿不受控制的飞到萧灵儿身边。
“···”
她回头，双眼瞪圆，满脑子都是问号。
什么情况？
萧灵儿倒是不知方才发生了什么，不由欣喜：“云儿。”
火云儿：“额···”
“我来找你玩儿了。”
懵逼之余，她只能如此回应。
“去玩儿吧。”
“我会在揽月宗小住些时日，至于你···唉，之前也是苦了你了，这次，你想玩儿多久就玩儿多久，记得莫要荒废修炼便可！”
火昆仑乐呵呵回应。
“啊？！”
火云儿彻底懵了，一时间，脑子几乎失去思考能力。
这···
这到底是何情况啊这？
“伯父此来是？”萧灵儿觉着疑惑，出言询问。
“有些小事。”火昆仑笑道：“稍后我去寻你师尊，与林宗主好好聊聊。”
“原来如此。”萧灵儿恍然：“那便预祝火伯父你与师尊交谈顺利了。”
“那是自然，哈哈哈，你们去玩儿吧，我们这些老家伙还有事儿，便不耽搁你们了。”
火昆仑摆摆手，随即飞向后方的金振三人。
并在三人古怪的神情中，拉着他们远去。
火云儿仍然是懵的。
但那些话，她也不好说。
只能晕乎乎被萧灵儿拉着飞向炼丹阁。
······
“宗主，您这？”
马灿烂忍不住询问。
“我什么？”
“我怎么了？”
火昆仑脸上笑容消失。
见他们一脸懵然的模样，火昆仑又是气不打一处来，怒道：“你们难道还不知道本宗主为何生气？”
“为何？”赵铁柱不接询问。
“还为何？”
火昆仑气笑了：“有这等好事，你们特么的不告诉我？？？”
“你们眼里还有我这个宗主吗？”
“还有火德宗？？？”
“五品保底啊！”
“若是能建立合作关系，我们火德宗还会为丹药而头疼？我们火德宗上上下下，无论是弟子还是高层，谁的修行速度不随之暴涨？”
“就算无法建立合作关系、就算萧灵儿一人炼制不过来···”
“难道就不能多我一个吗？”
“啊？！”
“还是你们认为我这个做宗主的就不需要变强了？”
“我看就是你们眼中根本没有我！！！”
火昆仑气啊！
方才，他倒是也纠结、迟疑过。
但到最后，却也就释然了。
这还有什么好纠结、迟疑的？
丹药多香啊！
“你们自己忙你们的去，我去寻林宗主，看看能否合作。”
“唉，真是气死人。”
“还自己人呢，我看你们连外人都不如，气煞老夫也！”
火昆仑飞走了。
留下三人大眼瞪小眼。
这特么是什么神转折啊这？
都已经做好被强制带回去的准备了，结果你来这么一出？
“不过，终究是好事儿。”赵铁柱嘀咕道。
两人纷纷点头。
但突然，金振面色大变：“不对！！！”
“我丹药还没还我！宗主，你别跑！！！”
“宗主！”
“···”
······
“哼。”
“几个老混蛋。”
火昆仑一溜烟跑没影了，口中自顾自嘀咕道：“还想让我还你？”
“等我商量好了再说。”
“若是一切顺利，倒是可以还你一些，若是没谈拢，还你？嘿，本宗主一辈子都没吃过这些好东西，还不能享受享受？”
“大不了等我回去之后调拨一些材料给你便是。”
想到那五枚七品丹药，火昆仑便是目中发热。
仙武大陆什么都好，就是发展的太好、太璀璨了。
人太多！
无论是普通还是修士，都是如此，多如牛毛，修仙之道也是发展的极为璀璨。
这也就导致，资源欠缺。
人太多了，平均下来，资源自然就少了。
药材也有些不够用，价格几乎是逐年上涨。
这也就导致，越来越多人吃不起丹药。
甚至，当价格高到一定程度，炼丹师的练手机会都会不断减少，从而，炼丹师的手艺，也是一代不如一代。
虽然这个下降过程很是缓慢，但这么多年下来，却也的的确确有着明显下滑。
这也就导致，高品质丹药越发少见。
还有一个原因便是由于材料越来越贵，为了减少炸炉所带来的损失，这些年来，各种丹方也是进行过一次又一次的‘优化’。
放入更多材料、让药性更加平和，降低失败率，但新丹方，却也让成品变的更为中庸了些。
成丹率的确提高了没错，可与之相对的，出现高品质丹药的几率，却是反而降低不少。
同时，由于放入的灵药更多，反而是导致药材进一步上涨···
完完全全的恶性循环。
也正因如此，修士们在选择辅助修行之物时，大多是以元石为主，偶尔开开荤、吃两枚丹药。
而这些丹药，大多也都是三品上下。
五品已是难得。
越是高阶的丹药，越是如此。
所以，哪怕是火昆仑，到目前为止也没吃过七品合道丹这种高级货。
如今见了，还是五枚，自然是眼热无比。
当然，他也不会贪墨金振的丹药便是，而是~
看情况再说。
合作顺利一切都好说，合作不顺利的话，他也不会让双方关系闹僵，而是选择自己离去，并送来一些材料交给金振，让他代为请求萧灵儿帮忙炼制···
咳。
“说到底，还是僧多粥少。”
这一刻，火昆仑很是唏嘘。
“丹药再贵，你吃不起、我吃不起，但总有个能吃的起的‘他’，偶尔出现在市面上的高品质丹药，根本抢不到。”
“砸锅卖铁倒也买得起，但不值当。”
不知为何，突然想到这里。
火昆仑愣是发现，自己竟然有些‘仇富’了。
“不过，现在机会就在眼前，只要稍后交谈顺利，我，乃至于我们火德宗，当将拥有这项大好福利~~~！”
······
连伯收回神识，眉头随之皱起。
“火德宗宗主火昆仑？？？”
方才，他没敢仔细‘偷看’，怕被发现。
若是被发现偷窥，那多尴尬呀。
所以只是远远观望，并不知道他们说了些什么，但从他们前后的表现，以及此刻火昆仑乐呵呵赶往揽月宫的变化来看~~~
“这三个老家伙也太无耻了！”
“已然是三对一，竟然还觉得不妥，甚至将自家宗主都叫来了？”
“这火昆仑也是！”
“好歹是顶尖二流宗门之主，火德宗掌握多少宗门的炼器命脉？里子面子都不知道羡煞多少人，结果也跑来舔我们这样一个三流宗门、舔一个小姑娘。”
“真亏他做得出来！”
“呸，不要脸。”
暗自骂完，他不由取出传音玉符。
“快些！”
“再快些。”
“你们人呢？若是来晚了，错失这天大机缘，老子可不管你们！”
“···”
······
“来了。”
林凡嘴角挂着笑意，收回目光。
他自然也注意到火昆仑的到来，而且还晓得他一路询问，基本将揽月宗目前的状况弄了个七七八八。
但，火德宗五人之间具体聊了些什么，他也不知。
不过火昆仑的来意，却是可以猜测一二。
当然，得装作全然不知。
这事儿，难不倒这厮。
他是专业的。
“我得特么得装啊~”
······
“林宗主！”
“林宗主，哎呀呀。”
“闻名不如见面、见面更胜闻名，果然是一表人才、人中龙凤啊~！老夫对林宗主钦佩许久，今日一见，当真是惊为天人。”
林凡正故作啥也不知，立在揽月宫之巅眺望远方。
便听见一声无比‘惊喜’的惊叹声传来。
随即，火昆仑上山，行了个道礼：“老夫火昆仑，不请自来实在是冒昧，还请林宗主莫要见怪才是。”
这话···
好家伙。
鼎鼎大名的火德宗宗主，如此吹捧我一个‘小家伙’，甚至还用上这种语气，难道你不尴尬吗这？
林凡内心哭笑不得，但同时，他确定，这波稳了~！
比钓翘嘴还稳。
“原来是火宗主。”
“哎呀呀！”
林凡‘大吃一惊’，而后‘大喜’，一个闪身出现在火昆仑身前，抓住他的双手，激动不已，久久不愿放开。
“早已听说火宗主、火前辈的鼎鼎大名，今日得见火宗主，此生无憾、此生无憾了呀！”
？？？
火昆仑心头一跳，暗自警惕。
我吹捧你，是我有求于你们揽月宗。
至于什么颜面，咳，老夫也算是半个生意人，见人说人话、见鬼说鬼话这点人情世故，我早已是炉火纯情，自然不会觉得尴尬与丢脸。
结果你为何一上来比我还能吹？
说的好像不见我一面就要抱憾终生一样。
这小子···
是个小狐狸！
只怕是对我别有所图，得警惕！
双方握手，久久不愿放开，哪怕火昆仑在此之前并不知晓握手礼。
同时，他们心里都确信对方是‘狐狸’，但表面上却是嘻嘻哈哈打成一片。
甚至随即，便开始比起马屁吹捧功夫，誓要在这方面抬高对方，贬低自己。
将对方吹的越高、将自己贬的越低低，稍后，越是好谈~！
火昆仑几乎用尽全力，但最终，却还是林凡技高一筹。
“火叔，我对您的敬仰犹如滔滔江水连绵不绝、又犹如黄河泛滥一发不可收拾！听阁下一言，胜读万卷圣贤书，看古今风流人物，还数火叔您啊！”
嘶！！！
你这吹的，也太过了吧？
火昆仑几乎浑身打起摆子，被吹的飘飘欲仙。
“要遭！”
他知道，这一波，是自己败了，连忙转移话题：“叫什么火叔？林宗主，不是我说你，你如此人物，且你我都是宗主。”
“再则，我那不成器的丫头，与你家亲传弟子萧灵儿亲如姐妹，无论从哪里算起，你我都是都同辈，都是同辈~”
“诶~火叔您哪儿的话？您可是上一代鼎鼎有名的大人物，我不过是这一代的小家伙，如何能与您同辈论交？”
“实在不行，从今往后咱们各论各。”
“我管您叫叔，您管我叫兄弟？”
火昆仑：“？？？”
你这叫什么话你这！
这不乱套了吗？
火昆仑一时之间哭笑不得，却也知道，在嘴皮子这方面自己必然是耍不过林凡了，只能结束这第一波‘交锋’，并在林凡的引导下进入正题。
知晓林凡的‘厉害’，落座之后的火昆仑极为警惕。
但奈何，终究是他有求于对方，茶过三巡，却也只能先行出招。
“林兄弟。”
“唉，老哥哥我也不瞒你，其实啊，此来是有事相求。”
“好说好说，火叔您尽管说来便是。”林凡乐呵呵回应。
火昆仑无语。
这是什么鬼称呼啊这？
真乱。
“咳。”
“就是吧···我们火德宗，希望与揽月宗结为攻守同盟、守望相助！！！”
“若是林兄弟你愿意。”
啪啪。
他将自己胸脯拍的啪啪作响：“从今往后，我火德宗弟子，就是你揽月宗弟子。”
“我们火德宗的材料，就是你们揽月宗的材料。”
“我们火德宗的藏经阁，便是你们揽月宗藏经阁。”
“我们火德宗的炼器手艺···你们随便用！”
“想炼什么，只要我们炼的出来，定然全力以赴，绝不推脱~”
林凡‘大吃一惊’，一时间有些‘呆滞’了。
但其心思，却是无比活络。
“哦？这便是你的答案么？”
“倒是也不差。”
“不过，或许这也是你唯一能拿出手的条件了吧？”
看似吃惊，实则沉思。
"The alliance... Overall, the benefits are naturally greater than the disadvantages, but what I am planning is even greater."
"So, Uncle Huo, and Huo Yun'er, I'm afraid it's..."
"I want to say sorry to you."
Lin Fan's eyes opened and closed.
From now on, you have to follow my pace~
It is indeed great to be your indispensable supplier.
But, my goal is to directly control your lifeline!
Lin Fan was not afraid that Huo De Zong would mess around, or rather, Huo De Zong's performance over the years made Lin Fan certain that they were quite "upright".
Otherwise, Lin Fan would not have chosen to accept Jin Zhen and others, and exposed Xiao Linger's almost divine alchemy skills.
Since they have repeatedly accepted and revealed this secret to a certain extent, they are naturally confident that they will not turn around and attack the Lanyue Sect.
However, these words cannot be said explicitly.
Have to go 'around'.
"That's naturally excellent."
After being pleasantly surprised, Lin Fan said anxiously, "I am willing to do so, but how can our Lanyue Sect be so worthy of this? I am afraid this is not worthy of us, right?"
"Matched, why not?" Huo De Zong was overjoyed, but acted very calmly: "Well, actually, I want to exchange our alchemy skills and mutual assistance for your Lan Yue Zong's high-quality elixirs."
"Your Majesty's Xiao Ling'er's alchemy skills are truly miraculous and rare in the world."
"if only···"
"If she can help and make pills for our Huode Sect, everything will be easy."
"ah?"
"I see." Lin Fan suddenly realized something and then frowned: "This... Of course I am willing to do so, but you also know that no matter how powerful Xiao Ling'er is, she is the only one."
"As a master, I am also very distressed."
"She is already very busy refining the elixirs for our Lanyue Sect. If we add the Huode Sect, which has a hundred times more people than us, she will definitely be overwhelmed."
"She is a monk after all, so..."
"Something is wrong."
"Therefore, I cannot agree to this."
"We cannot ruin the disciple's future for the sake of the sect's development and let her become an alchemy machine."
"So Uncle Huo, I'm sorry I can't agree to this."
Refused.
And the refusal was so reasonable that I couldn't find any fault with it.
Huo Kunlun felt helpless.
I knew it wouldn't be that simple.
but···
Still have to fight for it.
"Indeed, I was a little reckless." Huo Kunlun apologized, and then said thoughtfully: "Brother Lin, how do you think about this?"
"That is... please ask Miss Ling'er to help the leaders of our Huode Sect refine some pills in her free time. This way, it won't delay her work and our Huode Sect can also benefit from it."
"Of course, we are not trying to get something for nothing."
"We'll provide the herbs, and we'll also provide the expenses..."
"That's easy to talk about!" Lin Fan smiled. "It's just a small group of people, so it shouldn't be a problem. Let's not talk about the cost. Wouldn't it hurt our relationship if we talked about money?"
You'd better talk about money. Talking about money hurts feelings, and talking about feelings hurts money.
Free things are the most expensive, right?
Huo Kunlun wanted to insist, but he heard Lin Fan say, "In my opinion, let's do this."
"Uncle Huo, the senior members of your Huode Sect who are in urgent need of elixirs... and the Tianjiao disciples, yes, that's right, those who are in urgent need of elixirs can all come to our Lanyue Sect. In Xiao Ling'er's free time, she will refine elixirs for them."
"how?"
“That’s naturally excellent.”
Huo Kunlun was stunned.
This proposal...
Very good.
He keenly felt that there was a pit, but he didn't know where it was.
“I think it’s good too.”
Lin Fan grinned, but then frowned: "It's just that our Lanyue Sect is too weak, and your Huode Sect's strong men are coming in large numbers, which is a safety issue..."
"That's easy!"
Huo De Zong said: "Whether it's me or them, let them swear an oath that unless they are treated unfairly, they are not allowed to harm anyone from Lan Yue Zong, nor to destroy any grass or tree!"
"But...we in the Lanyue Sect still have many enemies." Lin Fan looked at them eagerly.
Huo Kunlun took a deep breath and said, "We in the Huode Sect can't stand those who do wrong things."
"I often tell them that as immortal cultivators, we must stand up when we encounter injustice!"
"As long as our people are here, we will not stand idly by if Lanyue Sect encounters any crisis. I swear!"
Lin Fan nodded: "But we are too weak, the news of this high-quality elixir cannot be leaked, otherwise it will be a disaster..."
Huo Kunlun: "I swear..."
"By the way, your geniuses are here, and it will take some time to refine the elixir. During this period, they must practice in Lanyue Sect. If there are not enough secret techniques and skills for them to practice, it will inevitably be inconvenient..."
"Okay, I will copy and reproduce all the skills and secret techniques in the Sutra Library and bring them here."
Huo Kunlun's thoughts raced, and he solved the problem at an astonishing speed.
But I never realized that at this moment...
Became a curled mouth~
The hook is straight and the bait is salty.
But he eats better than anyone else.
