The look he gave Kong Ju was different, with a hint of caution.
The reason why You Peng, the deputy leader of Xunyu Pavilion, showed such an expression was not only because of Kong Ju's own strength, but more because of his fear of his identity.
After all, the person in front of him is the only disciple of the leader of the largest sect in Wudong.
Kong Ju noticed the change in You Peng's eyes. When he took out the Shenglun Pill, he already knew that his identity would be exposed.
But it doesn't matter anymore. The news that he received the bounty from the Gujiang witch cultivator will spread soon, and many people will know that he is back.
He immediately showed a gentle smile and praised You Peng: "Sir, you can recognize Shenglun Dan. You have good eyesight."
"I wonder how much this Shenglun Pill and the purple-black poisonous miasma cost?"
You Peng did not answer immediately this time, but slowly put down the two items, and after a slight hesitation, he said: "The purple-black poisonous miasma ranks within the top 100 in terms of quality. It is also considered a fine product in Xunyu Pavilion. I believe that many people will be interested in it."
"Of these two items, the rarest one is the Shenglun Pill."
As he spoke, You Peng took out the Shenglun Pill and placed it in his palm, then continued.
"The main ingredient for refining Shenglun Pill, Xingmang Huairou Grass, is only available in Wudong. This alone can increase its price by a lot."
"Moreover, the Shenglun Pill increases the chance of breakthrough by 20%, which is the same as Tianqi's Xuepo Pill. What's even more rare is that the Shenglun Pill does not have the side effect of damaging the meridians like the Xuepo Pill. This will double its value."
At this point, You Peng's tone was filled with good-natured ridicule: "After all, some of the princesses and princes in the imperial city are spoiled and can't bear the hardship of the blood-breaking pill."
"If you are not in a hurry to sell them, I can arrange for these two items to be auctioned next month. I believe I can sell them at a price that will satisfy you."
"Of course, if you are in a hurry to sell, I can take this Shenglun Pill for 16,000 and this purple-black poisonous miasma for 14,000, for a total of 30,000."
"Thirty thousand?" Kong Ju took a sip of tea and did not respond immediately.
The price given by You Peng is undoubtedly very fair.
But if it is put up for auction, the price will still have a premium.
You Peng was also certain that he would not lose money by purchasing it for 30,000 spirit crystals, so he readily gave the price of 30,000.
Kong Ju calculated his own worth, forty-seven thousand, plus the five thousand given to Manager Ma, it was fifty-two thousand now.
It would be enough to buy a not-so-rare third-grade elixir.
The auction is only next month, so there is no need to rush this month and give up the opportunity to make money.
Thinking of this, he made a decision and said to You Peng with a smile: "Then please arrange the auction for me, sir."
"Okay, for all the items sold at the auction, Xunyu Pavilion will take a 5% commission. If you have no problem with this, I will arrange for these two items."
Five cents of sub-fund is five percent.
Kong Ju nodded in agreement: "The price is very reasonable."
The two sides smiled at each other and reached a tacit understanding.
Kong Ju wants to make more money, and You Peng also needs all kinds of novel items to maintain the reputation of Xun Yu Pavilion.
It is mutually beneficial for both parties.
You Peng took out a token engraved with the word "玉" and handed it to Kong Ju, saying that he could take the token to participate in the auction and make a bid if he saw something he liked.
Kong Ju accepted it with a smile and asked, "May I ask your name, sir?"
This man was an open and honest businessman who was not dishonest or cunning. He was someone who could be a long-term partner, so Kong Ju naturally made friends with him.
"You Peng, deputy leader of Xunyu Pavilion." You Peng adjusted his sleeves and smiled indifferently, but he did not ask Kong Ju's name.
"It turns out to be Vice Pavilion Master You!" Kong Ju understood his intention, but did not point it out. He then asked You Peng: "Pavilion Master You, does Xunyu Pavilion have the Three-Aperture Spiritual Ginseng?"
Three-orifice spiritual ginseng is the main ingredient for refining the Great Mirror-breaking Pill.
Although it is only a second-grade elixir, in today's world where spiritual inspiration is scarce, some second-grade elixirs are harder to find than third-grade ones.
For example, this three-orifice spiritual ginseng is one of them.
Kong Ju traveled from Wudong to Quanzhou but received no news about the Three-Aperture Spiritual Ginseng, so he could only place his hopes on Xunyu Pavilion.
"But is it the Three-Aperture Spiritual Ginseng used to refine the Great Mirror-Breaking Pill?" As soon as Kong Ju said this, You Peng already had a guess.
Seeing Kong Ju nod, You Peng smiled, understood his intention, and said immediately: "Of course there are. I have three three-orifice spiritual ginsengs in my Xunyu Pavilion. If you want them, you can take them. The money will be deducted from the auction proceeds."
"That couldn't be better." Kong Ju's eyes lit up and he asked about the price of the three three-orifice spiritual ginsengs.
"The price is six thousand for one plant, and eighteen thousand for three plants. What do you think, my friend?" No matter how rare the Three-Aperture Spiritual Ginseng is, it is only a second-grade elixir, so You Peng did not care.
The value of an ordinary second-grade spiritual medicine ranges from two thousand to four thousand.
The Three-Aperture Spiritual Ginseng is hard to find, and it is also a spiritual medicine that increases cultivation, so it is much more expensive. Kong Ju also knows that the price given by You Peng is not an exaggeration.
He politely replied, "Then I'll trouble you, Mr. You."
"Please wait a moment, my friend. I will get it for you right away." You Peng put away the Shenglun Pill and the purple-black poisonous miasma, bowed politely to Kong Ju, and walked straight out of the tea room.
With You Peng's departure, Kong Ju was the only one left in the tea room.
Having solved the problem of spirit crystals and the problem of the three-orifice spiritual ginseng needed to refine the Great Mirror-breaking Pill at the same time, he was naturally in a good mood.
He leisurely took a sip of the tea in the cup in his hand, and did not forget to look in the direction where You Peng left and made a comment.
"This gentleman is a very good person. He knows my identity but he doesn't reveal it."
"You're implicitly telling me that he won't tell anyone about this deal?"
The more You Peng acted like this, the more Kong Ju naturally felt comfortable cooperating with him, except for the Shenglun Pill he gave to You Peng.
He also has sixteen Shenglun Pills, one of which is of top-quality.
The cooperation between the two parties is pleasant, and we can put the items up for auction here at You Peng when the time comes.
"Then we have enough money. We just need to wait for news from Manager Ma." Kong Ju smiled faintly.
He was expecting good news from Manager Ma when he suddenly raised his eyebrows.
A vague low melody similar to Sanskrit came from the direction of Xunyu Pavilion without any warning.
Om Mani Padme Hum ~ The sound is like there are thousands of monks chanting Buddha's name and scriptures in your ears at the same time.
Caught off guard, Kong Ju's mind was slightly dazed and there was a moment of confusion in his eyes.
Fortunately, the moon seal between his eyebrows burst into light, dispelling the Buddhist music lingering in his consciousness.
His eyes regained clarity, and Kong Ju glanced at the Xunyu Pavilion's hall, saying with a playful tone: "Spiritual attack? Which blind monk is causing trouble in Xunyu Pavilion!"
There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!
He didn't even wait for You Peng to return, and disappeared in the tea room.
When Kong Ju appeared again, he was already in the main hall of Xunyu Pavilion.
Originally, he came out with the mentality of enjoying the fun.
As his eyes wandered, he saw the originator of the Buddhist sound.
The playful smile on Kong Qi's face froze immediately.
Under the bronze bell hanging high on the central dome of Xunyu Pavilion, there was a bald little monk in a gray cassock with his eyes closed, emitting a golden holy light.
Driven by his light, the huge bronze bell trembled continuously, emitting Buddhist sounds that spread indiscriminately around.
The monks who came to Xunyu Pavilion from the surrounding areas were shocked and cried with their heads in their hands.
Look at the little monk’s face, it’s Congyun.
"It's over!" Kong Ju was stunned for a moment, then his face changed drastically and he shouted, "Stop it, monk."
The second floor of Xunyu Pavilion.
As everyone knows, the entry requirement for Xunyu Pavilion is to reach the Shenglun realm.
But that is limited to one layer.
In order to reach the second floor, the person must not only meet the requirements of the second floor of Xunyu Pavilion, but also have a deep background and be someone who can be valued by Xunyu Pavilion.
Compared to the magnificent first floor, the second floor is much more elegant and the space is not that large.
In one of the private rooms specially set aside for distinguished guests, three people were sitting opposite each other.
Sitting at the upper seat was a young man wearing a five-clawed yellow robe. He had a handsome appearance, calm eyes, and his manners revealed his nobility.
As his eyes opened and closed, a majestic golden light burst out, making others dare not look directly at him.
The other two were two monks with similar appearances.
Both of them had thick lips and square noses, with burn scars on their heads, and the monk robes they wore were gray and simple and plain.
It represents two extremes compared to the luxurious attire of the young man opposite.
The two parties, who were so asymmetrical, were now talking peacefully.
"It is a gift from the Crown Prince. I am so overwhelmed when I go to the temple. I should not have accepted it." The monk on the left nodded slightly, made eye contact with the young man, and spoke sincerely.
"But the Golden Bell for Suppressing Evils was taken back to the Imperial City by Prince Yaoyun a thousand years ago. The abbot of our temple couldn't bear to see the pearl covered in dust, so he had no choice but to come and take it."
Judging from the monk's tone, the young man in the yellow robe is the current emperor of the Tianqi Dynasty.
When he talked with the two monks, his face was warm and his tone was gentle, making people feel like they were bathed in spring breeze.
"Among the current Tianqi Buddhist sects, only Shangzong Temple is worthy of this evil-suppressing bell. I am only doing you a favor. Sooner or later, this bell will belong to your Shangzong Temple."
"I and Senior Brother Buchi would like to thank the Crown Prince on behalf of the Shangzong Temple." The monk on the right bowed to the Crown Prince, then exchanged glances with Buchi and continued, "The Crown Prince's kindness to our temple is beyond our ability to repay."
"After the opening of Chaodi Ancient City, my senior brother Buchi and I were still dispatched by the crown prince."
Hearing this, the prince raised his lips in an obscure arc, and replied gently: "Why send them? The two young masters have learned the true teachings of the Shangzong Temple at a young age. In the future, no one in the Tianqi Buddhist sect will be able to match you two."
"I recall the time when Master Jishi came to my royal family to spread Buddhism and teach the princes... I will inevitably have to trouble you two in the future."
The two monks' eyes immediately brightened.
Shangzong Temple is now the undisputed number one Buddhist sect in Tianqi, but it is still slightly inferior to the glory of Kuruo Temple a thousand years ago.
What is lacking is the reputation of Zen Master Jishi as the Buddhist teacher of the princes.
If we can emulate the predecessors, the reputation of Shangzong Temple will surely reach a higher level.
It was not known whether the prince's words were intentional or unintentional, but they immediately gave the two monks hope that Shangzong Temple would surpass Kuruo Temple in reputation.
This is the current crown prince, the heir apparent of Tianqi.
While the two were having a heart-to-heart talk in the private room.
Om Mani Padme Hum~ The vast Buddhist sound descended upon this time space. (End of this chapter)
