Zhuangyuanlou is a century-old restaurant in Beijing. It is said that the owner's ancestor was a top scholar in the imperial examination during the Qing Dynasty.
The decoration of this Zhuangyuan Tower is also full of retro style.
At this moment, two men and one woman stood in front of the Zhuangyuan Tower.
The two young men were tall and handsome, while the woman was aloof and beautiful. They were both dressed in ancient costumes, which matched their temperament perfectly. They were also carrying swords.
They are like knights and heroines who have traveled from ancient times.
About two minutes later.
A discreet black sedan drove up to the front of Zhuangyuanlou.
Then a tall, handsome young man with an air of refinement walked down from above.
"Greetings, Senior Brother Xingjian!"
As the man approached, the three men and women in ancient costumes greeted him.
"Greetings, Junior Brother Zhao, Junior Brother Long, and Junior Sister Shangguan!"
Star Sword responded with a smile.
After exchanging greetings, the atmosphere relaxed, and they went together into a private room inside the Zhuangyuanlou restaurant.
Soon, the food was served, and the four of them ate and chatted, creating an increasingly harmonious atmosphere.
These three were not disciples of the Beidou Sect, but rather disciples of the Tiankong Ming Sect from Weiyu Cave.
The Beidou Sect and Kongming Cave Heaven have been on good terms for generations and are related by marriage, so the disciples and followers of the two sects are also closely connected.
The spirit stones in Gao Yan's possession were beneath the notice of the Beidou Sect.
However, Xingjian had his eye on him.
However, since he held a position in the secular world, he had to follow its rules, so he could not take action against Gao Yan.
Therefore, he contacted his aunt, who was an elder in Weiyu Cave, hoping that she could send a few people to help him.
The two men and one woman were his aunt's three true disciples.
Among them, Zhao Kui is already very close to the Grandmaster realm, and Long Hai and Shangguan Ru are both experts at the peak of the Innate Realm!
After eating and drinking.
Shangguan Ru took the initiative to say, "Senior Brother Xingjian, before we left the mountain, our master told us to follow your arrangements. Please feel free to tell us if there is anything you need us to do!"
"Yes, Senior Brother Xingjian, just let me know if you need anything!"
Zhao Kui and Long Hai echoed in unison.
Xingjian lowered his voice and said, "I asked you to come through my aunt because I want you to help me seize a batch of spirit stones!"
"Spirit Stones!"
The three of them tensed up, looking somewhat nervous. They knew that spirit stones were the most precious cultivation resource in blessed lands, and each sect would send experts to guard the spirit stone mines.
Seeing the expressions on the three people's faces, Xingjian knew they had misunderstood, so he explained, "Don't worry, the spirit stones I want you to seize have nothing to do with any sect, but are in the hands of a body cultivator in the mortal world!"
Upon hearing this, the three of them breathed a sigh of relief.
At the same time, Shangguan Ru asked, "Since the spirit stones are in the hands of worldly body cultivators, with your Grandmaster cultivation level, Senior Brother Xingjian, you can easily seize them yourself. Why make us do it?"
Xingjian smiled wryly: "You've forgotten my identity. I hold a position in the mortal world, so it's inconvenient for me to take action. Actually, I've already reported this matter to the sect, but the sect doesn't care about these few spirit stones."
Upon hearing this, the three of them were speechless.
If they don't even care about spirit stones, what else would they care about!
However, considering that the Beidou Sect monopolized the second largest grotto-heaven in the Great Xia Dynasty, they felt relieved.
"Junior brothers and sisters, please rest assured. No matter how many spirit stones the other party has, I will give each of you ten after we get them. If the amount is large, I will also increase your reward accordingly!"
Upon hearing that they could receive 10 spirit stones, all three showed expressions of surprise and delight.
After all, the elders of their sect can only obtain 10 spirit stones per year.
Even someone with such innate talent can only obtain 2 spirit stones a year.
The next moment, Zhao Kui said, "Senior Brother Xingjian, you're too kind. How about this, no matter how many spirit stones the other party has, we'll only take ten!"
"Yes, Senior Brother Xingjian, we're already embarrassed to accept ten spirit stones, we can't give you any more!"
Long Hai and Shangguan Ru echoed this.
Xingjian was quite satisfied with the performance of the three.
After some back and forth, they finally agreed that the reward for this mission would be 30 spirit stones, with 10 stones for each person.
Of course, if the harvest is huge, the three of them will definitely take a batch of spirit stones back to Xingjian's aunt!
On the other side.
Gao Yan finished his meal at Grandpa Liu's house.
After drinking a few cups of wine, Old Master Liu was full of energy and played chess with Gao Yan after dinner.
"Xiao Gao, I heard that your grandmaster is going to duel with Su Long from the Martial Arts Management Bureau. Is your grandmaster confident in his ability to win?"
"Old Master Liu asked."
"Grandpa, don't worry. My grandmaster's strength has reached the profound level. Su Long is no match for him!" Gao Yan said confidently to his grandmaster, then moved the chess piece and smiled, "Grandpa, checkmate!"
Grandpa Liu was stunned: "Xiao Gao, you're taking advantage of me! You're bullying an old man like me!"
"So, I'll let you take back a move?"
Gao Yan laughed.
"Xiao Gao, you have a bright future!"
A bright smile immediately appeared on Grandpa Liu's face.
But after taking two steps, Old Master Liu's face darkened again, because Gao Yan had once again checkmated him!
"Xiao Gao, how about I take two more steps back?"
"Old Master Liu said with a fawning expression."
"Grandpa, how can you play chess like that? You keep taking back your moves. You might as well just make Gao Yan admit defeat!" Liu Hanyi teased from the side.
"You brat, you're not even married yet, and your heart is already with your lover!"
Old Master Liu glared at him and said irritably.
