Chapter 247: Xu's Ancestor
"May I know your name, senior?" Xu Xinghe asked humbly.
"I am Huo Yuan San Ren, a casual cultivator traveling in Yizhou."
Ning Daoran made up a nickname, which was actually quite appropriate. He was practicing the True Yang Furnace Art, and his practice direction was wood and fire.
Therefore, the two titles, Jianjia Sanren and Huoyuan Sanren, are extremely appropriate for him.
"It turns out to be Senior Huo Yuan San Ren!"
Xu Xinghe looked excited: "Senior, can you really guide us to leave the fog?"
"Um."
Ning Daoran said, "When I was young, I practiced a pupil technique that can see through some clues of the moving fog. From now on, I will tell the boat to go wherever I want it to go. With the use of the forbidden talisman, I believe it should be no problem to break through the moving fog."
"yes!"
Xu Xinghe looked embarrassed: "But Senior Huo Yuan... our Xu's company has already used up all the forbidden talismans... I wonder if you have any forbidden talismans ready?"
"some."
"good!"
Xu Xinghe said excitedly: "Senior, please feel free to use it. My Xu's Company will double compensate you for the loss of this forbidden talisman."
Ning Daoran smiled calmly. This young master of the Xu family was quite perceptive.
However, the Jindan manager standing next to him was quite annoying, and he looked at him with an unfriendly look.
Could it be that he really thought that all the people on the boat were robbers and there were no good people in the world of immortal cultivation? For Ning Daoran, saving people on the boat was just a matter of convenience, and it was to increase his merits.
Next, Ning Daoran began to command the ship to sail.
"Full left!"
"Full right rudder!"
"Full speed!"
As the ship sailed through the waves, he stood at the bow and took out a third-grade lower-grade forbidden-breaking talisman from his arms. After activating it, the fog in front of him immediately dissipated a lot, and the fog that obscured the vision evaporated when it met the forbidden-breaking talisman! Of course, he was absolutely reluctant to take out the third-grade upper-grade forbidden-breaking talisman, which was a life-saving talisman and would never be used or shown to others easily.
In about a cup of tea's time, after using three third-grade low-grade forbidden-breaking talismans in succession, the big ship broke through the fog and sailed on the calm sea, leaving the fog behind far behind.
For a moment, all the monks and sailors on the ship cheered, enjoying the ecstasy of surviving the disaster.
Xu Xinghe was also very happy: "Thank you very much, Senior. If it weren't for your help, we would have been buried in this sudden fog."
"polite."
"Senior, could you please move to the private room in the cabin? I have some excellent spiritual tea from the Xu family. Please try it."
"Okay!"
Ning Daoran nodded. He was not worried about the other party's ambush. After all, he had ten third-grade top-grade forbidden-breaking talismans in his hand, as well as the fire-eating ants with him. Even if all the Xu family cultivators on this boat were tied together, they would not be able to hold him back.
…
Inside the cabin, private room.
Xu Xinghe handed over a heavy storage bag and said, "This is 30,000 spirit stones. Consider it a small thank you gift. I hope you don't think it's too little. We left in a hurry this time, so I didn't bring too many spirit stones with me."
In fact, he was already very sincere, and such a large amount of spirit stones was not a small sum.
Coincidentally, Ning Daoran had recently consumed a large amount of spirit stones in refining talismans at Lin Man's place, and now he could just get some blood back from Xu Xinghe.
"In that case, I will be disrespectful if you refuse."
Ning Daoran accepted the spirit stone, and suddenly an idea came to his mind. He said, "By the way, Mr. Xu, the Xu Company spans across many states and has such a large business. I wonder if it has treasures like deep-water lapis lazuli?"
"Deepwater Lapis?"
Xu Xinghe was slightly startled, then smiled, stretched out his hand and patted the storage bag, and two fist-sized gold and stone fell on the table, and said: "Is this what you are talking about, senior?"
"Exactly!"
Ning Daoran was overjoyed. He didn't expect that such an opportunity would come to him like this.
"Deepwater Lapis Lazuli is a rare commodity, but it's not something extraordinary."
Xu Xinghe said: "If you need this item, I..."
“Ahem…”
At the side, the Jindan manager coughed lightly, looking a little embarrassed.
Deepwater sapphire is very valuable. The two pieces on the table alone are worth at least 20,000 spirit stones. This young master really doesn't regard spirit stones as spirit stones. The 30,000 spirit stones he gave away before were just that. If he gives away two more pieces of deepwater sapphire, I'm afraid that the Xu family's fleet's years of sailing would be in vain.
"that……"
Xu Xinghe was a little embarrassed and said, "If you have something of roughly equal value, you can consider exchanging it for these deep-water lapis lazuli."
Ning Daoran immediately took out some spiritual herbs that were tens of thousands of years old from his storage bag, but they were not rare.
"The Ten Thousand Years Water Spiritual Ginseng and the Fire Spiritual Ginseng are indeed not ordinary items, but they are only items for improving cultivation, and cannot be compared with the extremely rare spiritual gold such as Deep Water Sapphire."
The Golden Pill Manager asked, "Daoist friend, do you have anything else?"
Ning Daoran thought about it and took out a few more Silver Moon Bamboos.
"It's actually the ten thousand year old Silver Moon Bamboo..."
Xu Xinghe's eyes lit up.
Who would have thought that the steward still frowned and said: "Although this Silver Moon Bamboo is ten thousand years old and has a strong essence, it is not a rare thing in itself and is not enough to be exchanged for Deep Water Green Gold."
Ning Daoran suddenly felt annoyed. He had just saved the lives of everyone on this boat, so why was this Jindan manager so troublesome!
He was now in disguise as Jianjia Sanren, and he really had the urge to wipe out the entire boatload of people and kill them for their treasures.
He tapped the storage bag gently and took out a jade bottle from it.
After the jade bottle was opened, several large pills rolled out. They were all fine quality True Blood Pills with five golden dan patterns. True Blood Pills were hard currency in the White Dragon Immortal City, and their value was by no means comparable to that of the Ten Thousand Year Old Silver Moon Bamboo.
"Exquisite True Blood Pill?!"
The pupils of the Golden Pill Manager shrank violently: "Daoyou... where did this exquisite True Blood Pill come from?"
"Um?"
Ning Daoran raised his eyebrows slightly and said calmly: "Are you asking too many questions, fellow Daoist?"
“Ahem…”
The Golden Core Manager said awkwardly: "I made a mistake in my words, I hope you can forgive me."
"I didn't expect that the senior actually had such a holy medicine as the fine True Blood Pill..."
Xu Xinghe said: "According to the market price, the price of a fine True Blood Pill is at least 8,000 Spiritual Stones. Senior only needs to take out three fine True Blood Pills to exchange for this Deep Water Blue Gold."
"Very good."
Ning Daoran handed over three True Blood Pills and put two pieces of Deep Water Green Gold into his pocket.
"Mr. Xu."
He raised his eyebrows slightly: "I wonder if Xu's Company has more deep-water lapis lazuli?"
"have!"
Xu Xinghe said: "If you need it, I will send a message to get some more deep water blue gold from the Xu family's ancestral land. I wonder if you have more fine True Blood Pills?"
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
“Yes.”
Ning Daoran said readily.
"That's great."
The Golden Core Manager said, "Does Daoist Fellow also live in White Dragon Immortal City? It would be convenient for us to complete the transaction in the city."
"I will not be returning to the Immortal City in the short term."
Ning Daoran shook his head slightly. He didn't want to expose himself. The Xu family had many eyes and ears in Bailong Immortal City and there were no secrets at all. If they really traded in the city, it would be easily discovered.
"In that case."
Xu Xinghe was the easier one to talk to: "Senior, how about we meet again in three months and trade in this sea area?"
"Can."
Ning Daoran stood up and said, "I will be waiting for you here in three months."
He stood up and left the Xu family’s ship.
Ning Daoran did not have a very good impression of the Xu family, a Nascent Soul family entrenched near the White Dragon Immortal City, with business spanning multiple states. With a Nascent Soul ancestor in charge, the Xu family was arrogant and did not take any sect seriously except the ten major immortal gates.
Even a super sect like the Jiuyun Sect had to be respectful in front of the Xu family.
However, Xu Xinghe seems to be a nice person.
So, Ning Daoran returned to the Bailu and continued fishing, constantly replenishing his reserves of Golden Dragon Carp.
…
Half a month later, in the north of Bailong Immortal City, the ancestral land of the Xu family.
Surrounded by clouds and mist, the air is filled with fairy air, and the spiritual energy between the peaks is extremely strong. There is a fourth-order low-grade spiritual vein underground in the Xu family's ancestral land, which is second to none in the entire Yizhou.
There were originally many disputes in this spiritual vein, but after the ancestor of the Xu family was promoted to the Nascent Soul stage, these disputes no longer existed.
No sect or family dares to be an enemy of the Nascent Soul monster, as that would be courting death.
Even a behemoth like the White Dragon Immortal City had no choice but to make concessions when faced with the Xu family's unequal contract. The Xu family took at least half of the entire White Dragon Immortal City's business profits, and the rest was divided up by Long Zhuojun and others.
On the top of the main peak, a cave with many restrictions is emitting a rosy glow, and the person who is in seclusion is about to come out.
Outside, there were three people standing with their hands hanging down, looking respectful. They were the head of the Xu family, Xu Yuan, a great cultivator in the middle stage of the Golden Core, and Xu Yuan's son, Xu Xinghe, a genius in the late stage of the Foundation Establishment stage.
In addition, the manager who was in the early Jindan stage was also there.
"Buzz~~~"
The mansion door slowly moved sideways, and suddenly an extremely powerful aura surged out, causing the magic power of the three people outside to stagnate and their faces turned pale in an instant.
The old monster in the Nascent Soul stage had not yet released his spiritual pressure, but the Nascent Soul aura alone was enough to scare everyone into silence.
"Meet the ancestor!"
Xu Yuan was the first to bow his head.
Xu Xinghe and Jindan Manager also saluted one by one.
"Um."
The ancestor of the Xu family, this great monk in the early Nascent Soul stage, looks extremely immortal, with white hair and a youthful face, ruddy complexion, and wearing a white robe, he looks like an immortal.
"Xu San."
The ancestor of the Xu family glanced at him and said, "Could that person really be the Jianjia Sanren on the wanted list of the Shixian Tower?"
"Reporting to the ancestor, it is this person!"
The Jindan manager quickly took out a jade slip from his arms. After injecting magic power into it, the jade slip flew into the air and turned into the figure of a young cultivator in a green robe. There was a shining light behind him, and there was even a simple outline of his soul and artistic conception.
"Um?"
The ancestor of the Xu family narrowed his eyes and said, "This person's soul and the soul mark of the person named Jianjia Sanren on the wanted list are surprisingly similar... Could it be that this person is really him? Also, was that exquisite True Blood Pill really made by this person?"
"Exactly!"
The Golden Pill Manager frowned and said, "Alchemists who are capable of refining True Blood Pills in the entire White Dragon Immortal City are almost all from our Xu family, and every high-quality True Blood Pill has a record. This person took out a bottle of high-quality True Blood Pills in one breath. The only explanation is that he refined it himself.
Moreover, this person used the alias Huo Yuan San Ren, but there is no Jindan cultivator called Huo Yuan San Ren in the Eastern Wasteland Immortal Cultivation World. He is clearly the Jian Jia San Ren who injured the Soul Devouring Demon in Red Leaf Valley!"
"Humph, the old man, the Soul Devouring Demon, actually suffered a loss. This is really ridiculous. If that's the case..."
The ancestor of the Xu family looked at Xu Xinghe and said, "Xinghe, you two should go to the agreed sea area again in two months. I want to meet this person."
"Ancestor, I..."
Xu Xinghe gritted his teeth.
"Why, you don't want to?" The old man of the Xu family looked intimidating without even being angry.
