Cultivation World 34 Old Friends
The new shop has opened, but there were no customers in the past few days.
Fu Wenming and Qi Yan were inevitably a little anxious and irritated. Every day they either wiped the cabinets or stood at the door, staring at every monk who passed by the door, wishing they could pull them into the store to spend some money.
Xie Yunsui was not in a hurry at all. He even took on quite a few orders before leaving the Fentian Mountains.
Among the orders received previously, the expedited order from Qingyan Sect has been completed, and now we are also preparing to complete the orders from Tiangang Sword Sect and others one after another.
It can be said that no one is busier than Xie Yunsui.
"A few people have come over these past two days. I think they're from other shops looking for information."
Ling Xiyuan had just returned from the shop and spoke while Xie Yunsui was resting.
"That's right. They also want to test our capabilities before deciding whether to get along with us."
Xie Yunsui pinched his arm, which had been swinging a sledgehammer all day, and drank a bottle of recovery potion.
Ling Xiyuan took a look and saw a knee-high pile of medicine bottles next to him. One could imagine how hard Xie Yunsui had been working during this period.
"You, these orders don't have any time limit, why do you have to push yourself so hard?" Ling Xiyuan felt quite distressed.
Xie Yunsui smiled. He could gain energy every time he completed a top-grade Xuan-level magic weapon, and the spirit stones he earned could also be used as energy. The more energy he accumulated, the more he could give to Xiaoxi.
Some time ago, Xiaoxi was always asked to practice, and he himself was annoyed by it.
He joked, "I couldn't control myself and took on too many orders at once. I always feel uneasy when I don't complete them, like I owe them something."
Ling Xiyuan said nothing more. He took out his flute and played a soothing tune to help Xie Yunsui recover.
Over at the shop, Qi Yan was receiving a customer.
As usual, he took the customers who wanted to buy magic tools to the second floor and opened several containers to display several kinds of magic tools.
"These are the only protective devices you want in our store at the moment. If we can't find anything that suits your needs, please state your requirements and we can customize it."
The man had a respectable appearance, but his eyes seemed to show a subtle scrutiny. "All your magical weapons are too ordinary. Forget it. Let me take a look at some offensive magical weapons."
If Fu Wenming were here, he would definitely be able to see that this person's real intention was not to buy magic weapons.
But Qi Yan, this stupid guy, had no sense at all and kept on introducing himself.
The magic weapons that Xie Yunsui left in the store were not top-notch, but they were good in all aspects. The fact that many people in the Fentian Mountains customized such products was the best proof of this.
But in front of this visitor, there were flaws everywhere.
Qi Yan frowned slightly, remembering what his senior brother said, that human cultivators all have their own personalities, and there will be some who are picky, so one must be patient and not just slap them in the face.
Qi Yan endured it and said: "We can customize it."
The cultivator who found fault was a disciple of Guiyuan Sect.
Lei Yuan came here to find out the situation under Qi Ziming's instructions.
He knew that Qi Ziming was in urgent need of spirit stones and magical instruments recently. Finding some shops without any background and using his power to pressure them was the quickest and easiest way to gain respect. Lei Yuan could also gain a lot of benefits from working for him.
Lei Yuan discovered the new store not long after it opened and immediately told Qi Ziming.
He knew that the guests here were two cultivators, one of whom was just in the initial stage of Qi training and was not to be feared, while the other had the cultivation level of foundation building.
In addition, there is always a Jindan cultivator who comes to the store every day and stays for a long time before leaving.
Qi Ziming knew that this was not an existence that could be easily moved, so he asked him to come over and take a look, and test the details.
There are all kinds of magical instruments in the container, and I'm afraid the instrument maker behind it is quite capable.
Lei Yuan asked, "If it's custom-made, which craftsman will make it?"
"If it's a lower-grade yellow-level magic weapon, I can almost refine it. If the requirements are higher, my master will do it." Qi Yan said.
"Oh? Your Master is?"
Qi Yan raised his chin and said, "My master's surname is Xie. You should have heard of him. He was the one who refined the space gourd."
As he spoke, he raised his hand and opened the two containers on the side. Inside were space gourds, rows and rows of them, and there were quite a few of them.
Lei Yuan was frightened and his expression became much more serious.
He had heard of the craftsman who made the space gourd. He had been very famous in Hualuo City before, and a ninth-grade lotus platform was bought by a fairy from Qingyan Sect at a huge price.
I heard that in the Qingyan Sect's sect competition a few days ago, Fairy Xuanzhu, who possessed the Ninth-Rank Lotus Platform, fought against three disciples of the same level in a round-robin battle. In the end, she fought back and forth with a senior brother who was one level higher than her. Then, with the strange control of the Ninth-Rank Lotus Platform, she won a narrow victory and won the second place in the Golden Core Competition with the cultivation level of the early Golden Core stage. The first place was taken by a disciple in the late Golden Core stage.
Not only that, there are two other people who are said to have also obtained magical instruments refined by Master Xie, and their results are equally impressive.
It's just because they got it recently and it hasn't been fully integrated with the magic weapon yet, but compared to their previous achievements, it's already a big hit.
A top-grade Xuan-level magic weapon that can be used from the early Jindan stage to the late Yuanying stage.
However, most people rarely come across such a magical weapon, it is truly a rare opportunity.
He heard Qi Ziming say yesterday that his uncle also wanted to find Master Xie to refine a magical weapon for his own life.
How did the disciple of Venerable Ling Ye secretly open a shop in Cangyu City?
Lei Yuan's heart trembled, and he became more worried. He was afraid that this person had stockpiled a bunch of space magic tools to frame him, so he hurriedly asked if other magic tools also had anti-theft formations.
Qi Yan said, "Some people buy magical instruments to use for a while, and then want to sell them off later. They don't want anti-theft formations, so we only add anti-theft formations to our instruments when the customer is sure they want them engraved. If you want to add it now, I can do it for you."
Lei Yuan raised his eyebrows: "Do you know the anti-theft formation?"
Qi Yan swallowed the word "nonsense" with difficulty, feeling that this guest was not very smart.
He said, "My master taught me."
Lei Yuan bought the cheapest magic weapon and asked him to engrave an anti-theft formation on it.
Qi Yan took it to the weapon refining room, and in less than half a minute he brought out a magic weapon engraved with an anti-theft formation.
Lei Yuan looked at the magic weapon deeply, turned around and left without saying a word.
After returning to Guiyuan Sect, he immediately summoned Qi Ziming to report the matter to him.
Qi Ziming happened to be at his uncle Zheng Xing's place. After they listened to the report together, Zheng Xing asked him to come over so that he could see the magic weapon with his own eyes.
Qi Ziming was slightly stunned. "Didn't that weapon master surnamed Xie become a disciple of Venerable Ling Ye? Why didn't he return to Tianlang Immortal Sect and come to our Cangyu City?"
Zheng Xing knew a little more than he did. "After the Xie family was wiped out, the world of cultivation lost half its weapon masters. Now, only the Ling Ye lineage is holding on. Now it's even harder to find a weapon that suits your taste. Even the sect master went to the Tianlang Immortal Sect to ask for orders, but the order is already scheduled for a year later. Someone like your uncle doesn't even qualify to wait in line, let alone others."
"With so few weapon masters, we need to select and train talented individuals. We can't rely on other sects anymore. The Tianlang Immortal Sect can't just sit back and watch. They'll definitely hold a weapon refining conference under Ling Ye's name." Zheng Xing recalled, then continued, "The last time was twenty years ago, when the Qingyan Sect held one under Xie Yuan's name. It's said that the Xie family alone accepted over a hundred disciples."
“I’m afraid it will be held in the next one or two years, but I don’t know where it will be held.”
Qi Ziming was confused: "Isn't it being held at the Tianlang Immortal Sect?"
"The Tianlang Immortal Sect is located in the Immortal Mountains of the Northern Territory. It is very cold and harsh. Few of the various competitions in previous years were held in our sect."
As Zheng Xing was speaking, he suddenly felt that the disciple Ling Ye opening a shop in Cangyu City might be a message.
Could it be that the venue is in Cangyu City?
Are they sending disciples to come ahead and prepare the way?
Although Xie Yunsui immersed himself in the weapon refining room, he would occasionally take time to go to the shop to check on the situation.
His daughter Xiaoxi would also talk about the situation in the store.
What he didn't expect was that no one came to cause trouble?
He thought he would have to fight a few moves with the Guiyuan Sect gang, but unexpectedly, several Guiyuan Sect disciples came from behind and seemed quite polite.
Especially Qi Ziming's uncle came in person and wanted to customize a magic weapon.
Xie Yunsui was puzzled, but it did not stop him from quoting a price 30% higher than others.
Since Xie Yan was about to be released from confinement, Xie Yunsui hurried to complete Zheng Xing's order as quickly as possible and delivered it, fearing that he would lose the order if he was late.
-
The heavy snow came early this year.
Xie Yunsui stood under the eaves, looking at the snow falling all over the sky. Calculating the time, he thought the protagonist should have come out.
I don’t know if he has already arrived in Cangyu City.
"Appreciate the snow?" Ling Xiyuan put on an outer robe and stood beside him: "Why don't you warm up two cups of spirit wine and sit down to enjoy it slowly."
Xie Yunsui took out two cups of hot milk tea filled with toppings: "I think this one goes better with the snow scene."
Ling Xiyuan was no longer surprised by the new and unusual foods he would bring out from time to time. Even now, there were still some that he had never seen before.
"I'm afraid an old friend will come to the store in a while."
Xie Yunsui had something in mind.
Ling Xiyuan understood: "Is it Xie Yan?"
"Um."
Ling Xiyuan paused: "You said that you wanted me to keep my distance from Xie Yan, and it would be best if I avoided him?"
Xie Yunsui said, "Well, openly, we can't have anything to do with Xie Yan."
…
Xie Yan fled into a dark alley in panic, covering his chest to calm the spiritual power in his body.
This advancement went smoothly, and he arrived in Cangyu City a month ago.
He first found a small inn to stay in, concealed his cultivation level, and pretended to be just a low-level cultivator.
Following the information given by Xie Yunsui, he found an errand in the outer sect of Guiyuan Sect and sneaked in.
Everything had been going smoothly up to this point, but life is never smooth sailing. There were always those who took advantage of their power to pick fights and provoke others, but Xie Yan endured it silently.
It happened that Zheng Xing was called away by the sect leader that night. Xie Yan seized the opportunity and sneaked into Zheng Xing's room, trying to find clues.
Unfortunately, he was disturbed by a few outer disciples who disliked him, which immediately attracted Zheng Xing, who used an unknown magic weapon to seriously injure him.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Xie Yan turned around and ran away. Zheng Xing was not willing to let him go and kept chasing him.
There were two times when he was almost caught up and took some damage.
Xie Yan hid in a dilapidated hut that had been prepared earlier. Although it looked very shabby on the outside, it was equipped with a concealment formation that could hide from the spiritual sense of a Jindan cultivator.
He rummaged through his bag and pulled out a medicine bottle, but couldn't pour out a single pill.
Oh, I’ve finished eating.
He had no money and forgot to replenish it.
Xie Yan's expression was numb, and he was obviously used to this state.
He had nothing of value on his body except a sword.
Hiding from place to place, I have forgotten what the glorious days of the past twenty years were like.
Xie Yan swallowed the blood rising up his throat, sat down cross-legged, and tried his best to recover. However, his mind was always paying attention to whether Zheng Xing was chasing him outside, so he couldn't really relax and recover.
He had been hiding here for two days. The disguise pill he had taken had lost its effect, and he also noticed that the vague spiritual sense outside was no longer there to investigate.
Xie Yan changed his clothes, walked out carefully, and headed towards the street.
The streets are crowded with people during the day, and hiding in the crowd is the best way.
He was planning to leave Cangyu City for a while to pick some spiritual plants and sell them to prepare some elixirs, when he suddenly saw the doorplate of "Xiaer Shop".
"...If you want to find me, take this card to any store called 'Char'..."
These words suddenly flashed through Xie Yan's mind.
Actually, did it really come here?
Xie Yan took a few breaths and finally walked towards the store door.
-----------------------
The author has something to say: I had a cold and a bad cough these past few days, so I just took cold medicine at home and didn’t take it seriously. Then I saw the trending search, and I???
I rushed to the hospital for an IV drip this morning (luckily it wasn't H1N1, I probably caught a cold from staying up late typing), came back late, and my typing speed was slow, so today's update is a bit late.
By the way, I'm taking another day off. I just want to sleep after the IV drip. I probably won't have time to write the update tomorrow because I have to go for the IV drip tomorrow morning. I type very slowly on my phone.
Take a day off tomorrow. I'll come back the day after tomorrow after the IV drip to see if I can finish a chapter. If not, I'll indicate it on the notice board.
Sorry, it’s cold and busy during the Chinese New Year, so updates are not very stable during this period.
I hope everyone is in good health and don’t try to fight a cold.
Good health and all the best
