Chapter 54 Chapter 54 Is it a bit unreasonable?
The Xuanshan alumni reunion, which had not been held for a while due to the Red Dust Trial, was held on time as usual after Bai Lu and others came back, and the themes of flying swords and watching weapon spirits were successfully carried out.
The theme this time is "Food and Business".
Chao Tianzi was holding a wooden basin with a pile of fragrant bread in it. The bread was square in shape and uniform in size, and a lot of nut crumbs could be seen on the cut surface. Qiusuo next to him was holding a large can of yogurt, which also had a lot of berry crumbs mixed in it, showing a light purple-red color.
"What pastries did Senior Brother Bai make today?" Ding Douhua was already ready to feast on them.
Chao Tianzi proudly introduced it to everyone: "This is the bran cake that the host prepared for you."
……bran?
Everyone fell into deep thought. Is this the chaff they understood?
"Brother Bai... given the conditions in Xuanshan, we shouldn't have to eat bran, right?" Liang Mangu asked doubtfully. Could it be that Senior Brother Tailao's food is sick again?
Bai Lu, who was sorting the ingredients nearby, heard this and came over to ask, "What's wrong with the bran? I made some whole wheat bread, and Ah Chao said that some of the ingredients you call wheat bran can also be called bran, so it's OK to call it bran cake."
He wanted to change the taste with some whole grains, and he chose whole wheat bread, but it was ground very finely for the taste, and paired with yogurt, at least he felt mentally healthy.
"Senior Qi Ling, you are talking nonsense. I think my brother just mixed some coarse grains into it. How can it be called bran?" Ding Douhua smelled it and took another bite. The taste was still very delicate.
Bai Lu muttered to Tianzi, saying that this was not whole wheat bread, but after watching the preparation process, he thought it would be okay to call it bran cake.
"Oh, just call it whatever you want. I don't understand translation." Bai Lu had given up on naming a move. He couldn't even think of a nice Chinese name for the move. "The same goes for the Faraday cage. Didn't you say you wanted to translate it into Chinese?"
Bai Lu found her classmates as partners to sell cages. They had heard Bai Lu talk about her experiences in the secret realm before, and they couldn't wait to play with them themselves before doing business, and their eyes were shining.
Liang Mangu immediately gave a lot of suggestions, including the name change. It is a direct translation now, and if it is to be sold as a product, it should be localized.
"Yes, although Brother Faraday is very famous in your hometown, but here people will not understand its effect, so it is difficult to sell it."
Liang Mangu stuffed a piece of whole wheat bread into his mouth and said seriously, he couldn't help but nodded. The nuts inside were so fragrant and crispy, and the bread slices were also very chewy.
With the experience of doing business in Hongchen Shifeng, their team has become more and more skilled, and has recruited a large number of Liang Mangu's senior brothers and sisters to run the equipment repair factory.
To this day, there are still a large number of orders for cultural and creative products and magical instruments flying to Xuanshan from all over the world like snowflakes. Xuanshan is leading the latest trend in the world of immortal cultivation.
Bai Lu used a butter knife to spread some yogurt on the whole wheat bread. He made it thicker so that it could replace cheese. Of course, he didn't make it too dry, otherwise his throat would be blocked and he might not be able to continue the meeting today.
Bai Lu handed the bread spread with yogurt to Meng Caiqing.
Meng Caiqing took a big bite of the bread and said, "Hmm, well, my master's thunder method is called the Five Thunders Demon Suppression Technique, so why don't we call it the Thunder-Repelling Demon-Subduing Cage."
"Exorcise demons? Why exorcise demons?" Bai Lu said in confusion, "No, it's not auspicious at all." The wizard felt very uncomfortable hearing this.
"Oh, I forgot that my senior brother is the Demon Lord... Then it's normal for us righteous cultivators to add "Demon Suppression, Demon Subjugation and Demon Exorcism" to the names of our skills." Meng Caiqing scratched his head and said, "Everyone names it like this. Whether it is to fight against demon cultivators or not is another matter."
Bai Lu: “…”
Boy, this is a fixed tag, right?
Bai Lu also thought of Yan Changming, and wondered if he had found the way out of Weiruizhou.
However, looking at Meng Caiqing who was always surrounded by black smoke, to be honest, Bai Lu felt that if everyone walked out together, the people might not necessarily think who was the devil...
"But 'jiang mo' is indeed a bit old-fashioned, too many people use it." Ding Douhua had other opinions, "Also, I think it would be best to change the word 'cage' as well. After all, it is used on oneself, and locking oneself in a cage doesn't sound good."
"That's right!" Bai Lu agreed greatly. This was something he had never thought of in terms of language, and it made sense. He looked at the shape of the cage and wondered what could replace it. He hesitated and said, "What is that called, a nest?"
Classmates: “…”
Brother, your words are still so exquisite...
They just applauded the emperor: "Great, great!"
Bai Lu also knew in her heart that Chao Tianzi's admiration was rather blind...
Finally, Bai Lu asked Chao Tianzi to go to Kaiyang Peak and bring Xian'er over. Chao Tianzi was seen flying in the air on a broom, while Xian'er was holding a broom stick, and sorghum ears were rustling in the air.
The sight of the little broom flying over with the big broom in its arms made everyone look up and laugh.
After a period of study, Xian'er's language skills improved, and she came up with several alternative names for them: Heavenly Thunder Swallowing Cover, Thunder Devouring Prisoner Heaven Barrier, Thunder Turning Returning to Origin Pivot...
"The Thunder Devouring Heaven Prisoner Barrier is good, especially the Heaven Prisoner Barrier, which has captured the essence." Liang Mangu has already imagined how he would promote it to his fellow brothers and sisters. "Although the thunder brought by Shen Yuntian is fake, the Thunder Devouring Heaven Prisoner Barrier can really devour thunder."
Of course, not everyone needs to survive the thunder tribulation, and fighting with an opponent who masters thunder magic is not common, but they are cheap, and many people will buy them to try even out of curiosity.
Moreover, the price when selling to Xuanshan is one price, and the price when the product becomes famous and is sold outside is another price.
While the magic weapon was being made, Bai Lu was watching the temperature, Chao Tianzi was squatting at the door, with Luo Luo Niao, Qiusuo and Xian'er beside him.
Chao Tianzi glanced at them, crossed his arms and said, "Since I accepted my mastership, I have never talked to you. Today, while you are all here, I must make it clear."
The other three looked at him in unison.
Chao Tianzi said solemnly: "Master's disciples should put me first. After all, I am a peerless divine weapon. I have experienced the Qingdi secret realm with the master and we have a life and death friendship. If the master is not here, you must listen to me..."
Xian'er said doubtfully, "I am not the king's. The king said that I am under the jurisdiction of Kaiyang Peak."
Luo Luo Bird: "You must be mistaken. I feel like I am your master's friend, not a mount..."
Qiusuo: "My puppet spell has been released, I am free."
Chao Tianzi: These guys really have no blessings at all!
"A Chao!" Bai Lu saw him from afar, put her hands on her hips and shouted, "Are you spreading feudal ideas again? Come here!"
Chao Tianzi secretly glared at the others, then returned to Bai Lu's side and stood there as punishment.
"Hehe, I think Senior Qi Ling just wants to find an opportunity to show off that he has a master. He is really not annoying. After he came back, everyone in Xuanshan has heard him say it more than three times. Maybe only the remote mountains have not heard of it." Meng Caiqing whispered.
He looked up at Tianzi and said, "Haha, it's okay. At this volume they will soon hear you."
Meng Caiqing: “…”
.
Ning Yanhu and Pei Zhaoting went to Huanhuazhou to complete the remaining rounds of the Red Dust Trial. Now they are on their way back. On the day they arrived at Xuanshan, Bai Lu and everyone went to greet them.
There had been news long ago that the eldest senior sister was defeated by You Yue's underhanded tactics in the competition, but Pei Zhaoting still defeated You Yue fair and square on behalf of Xuanshan, regained the honor, and won the championship of the Red Dust Trial again.
Pei Zhaoting's efforts were worth it.
Bai Lu also made two laurel crowns. As soon as the eldest senior sister landed on the golden jade platform, she squeezed forward to put them on her. She wore a wreath woven with laurel leaves on her head. Although she was wearing ancient costume, the combination was very beautiful.
"What's this? I didn't win the first prize, did I get one?" Ning Yanhu asked, but he still smiled and lowered his head to accept the wreath. "After Junior Brother Bailu became a cousin of the Mu Clan, did he learn some customs of the Mu Clan?"
"This is a custom in my hometown. Not only champions, but anyone who is outstanding can wear it. Senior sister, you are great too!" Bai Lu praised her with sparkling eyes, "and if you hadn't been working at Cang Yuntai all this time, you would definitely have a better ranking!"
"Yes, yes, after all, Senior Brother You is so insidious..." Meng Caiqing said indignantly, completely forgetting that their Xuanshan was not much inferior in the arena.
"Okay, Pei Zhaoting has finally let me vent my anger." Ning Yanhu no longer cared. Moreover, for her, going out without having to work was almost like a vacation.
Ding Douhua and the disciples from her peak were all there, cheering for Senior Brother Pei and feeling proud of it.
Pei Zhaoting also accepted the crown. He fought so hard for the Red Dust Test, but now after winning the championship and returning to the mountain, he felt very calm inside. It was completely different from the feeling he had before the competition when he had put in so much effort.
Many disciples of Xuanshan came to greet them, and the master was very pleased and praised them. The sect leader would give out rewards within the sect, and their name would become famous throughout the world.
But Pei Zhaoting thought that it might be because of the trip to the Qing Emperor's secret realm during the competition. After witnessing such power, he sank into the sea of suffering and realized the impermanence of time and life. The victory or defeat seemed not so important at the moment.
It was this mentality that allowed Pei Zhaoting to be more relaxed during the competition, and he eventually defeated You Yue to win the championship.
At this moment, facing countless praises, Pei Zhaoting was not very moved, and asked Bai Lu: "I wonder how the investigation of Qingdi Jue is going, Brother Bai? Tell me what materials you need."
Woohoo, what a touching Senior Brother Pei... He wants to give gifts as soon as he comes back.
"It's still under research, maybe it will be needed! You can also come and have a look." Bai Lu said actively. Their Shuchunyuan has been holding seminars on the application of Qingdi Jue recently.
Pei Zhaoting nodded immediately, "I'll go after I report to Cangyuntai. My Sky Star Formation once accidentally triggered the Qingdi Secret Realm, maybe it can be of help."
…
Pei Zhaoting took a walk around Cangyun Terrace and Peak and then went to Shuchun Garden.
Bai Lu was lying next to Huo Xuexiang. When she saw him, she smiled and said, "Senior Brother Pei is here. So quick!"
Pei Zhaoting's master is Shang Zongzhi, the master of Tianji Peak. Master Shang also likes to keep this beloved disciple by his side. Everyone is familiar with him. When they see him, they all praise him and congratulate him on winning the first place.
"Thank you, teachers. I am also lucky." Pei Zhaoting bowed his head and said.
The heads and elders of each peak glanced at each other imperceptibly. Pei Zhaoting used to look at people with the side of his eyes, but now after his trip out, this bad habit seems to have improved a lot. Not bad, not bad. His temperament has improved greatly, and his eyesight should also improve greatly.
What was even more shocking was yet to come. Pei Zhaoting took out a bunch of rare items in front of them, including the reward for winning the Red Dust Trial, and the rewards from the Sect Master and his master. He then held them all in front of Bai Lu and said, "Brother Bai, these are the rewards I got. I brought them all with me. See if you need anything."
Pei Zhaoting's family was wealthy, so he donated a jade puppet to the peak himself, but he had never put everything out for people to pick and choose like this.
Bai Lu was already dazzled, saying over and over again: "Wow, this is -- wow, it looks good --"
Even Pei Zhaoting's master was a little surprised. His temper had improved a lot after this trip. But he thought about it and understood. He pointed at them and said with a smile: "When Zhaoting was practicing the Heavenly Star Formation, he almost went astray. It was Bai Lu who concealed her identity and saved him. Zhaoting has been looking for him for a long time. Now you know it. My Zhaoting is repaying a favor."
Everyone suddenly realized, yes, there is this old story. Although the mind has grown, it is difficult to change one's nature. If it is for the life saver, then it makes sense.
Huo Xuexiang knew a thing or two. At first, no one knew who saved Pei Zhaoting. Later, Pei Zhaoting revealed the truth in the secret realm, but the situation was urgent so he did not elaborate.
In the current atmosphere, Huo Xuexiang, as Bai Lu's master, naturally had to say something. He replied on behalf of Bai Lu, "It's only right that a fellow disciple should help you."
"Yes, uncle-master, even a drop of kindness should be repaid with a spring of gratitude." Pei Zhaoting also said respectfully, not to mention that it was far more than just a drop of kindness.
"By the way, Zhaoting's Sky Star Array seemed to have activated the Green Emperor's Jade. We can also try to see if we can get in touch with it." Shang Zongzhi asked Pei Zhaoting to take out the array plate so that they could discuss it together.
Bai Lu took out the Qingdi Jue as usual and showed it to everyone. It was great to be back in Xuanshan and it was great to be honest with the Master. Any questions could be left to the elders to study!
"It is indeed a treasure left by the Green Emperor..." No matter how many times Xu Zuichan looked at it, he was still amazed and felt the vitality in it. "It is hard to say whether it is a magic weapon or a living thing. It is simply a small world. It must have completely mastered the laws of all things to create it."
"This has actually been torn apart by Emperor Chao Tian, so it turned back into a jade pendant. But since the vitality inside can still be used, doesn't it prove that there is still a chance to restore it?"
"Let's try its effect on the Heavenly Star Formation first?"
The predecessors were very interested in the discussion. This kind of research is also very beneficial to them, not to mention its historical significance.
Although Bai Lu had also investigated the Qingdi Jue, he was not very familiar with the history and culture, so he chose to ask Pei Zhaoting about the Hongchen Test first.
He had only heard of the rankings and didn't know the details of their competition.
Pei Zhaoting did use a magic instrument to record some of the live scenes and took them out to show Bai Lu.
"Hahahahaha, Senior Brother Jin, why is he being flirted with again?" The first thing that happened was Jin Sunzhi being flirted with, which made Bai Lu laugh so hard. With the friendship and understanding between them, watching the game now is completely different from when the game first started.
Pei Zhaoting also smiled and agreed, "It will be funnier when he faces You Yue."
Huo Xuexiang tilted his head slightly.
Pei Zhaoting looked back curiously, but saw nothing and wondered if he had seen it wrong.
Huo Xuexiang calmly withdrew his spiritual thoughts and focused them on the Green Emperor Jue. Because he kept his eyes covered, others could not figure out what he was looking at.
Bai Lu watched the replay of Red Dust Trial just like watching a football game, but since she didn't have to participate and had already known the ending, she relaxed a lot and even asked Chao Tianzi to get some fruits and cakes for her to eat while watching.
"What does Senior Brother Pei want to eat?"
Bai Lu gave Pei Zhaoting some melons, and then went around to distribute cakes to all the teachers. She gave a peach to Master and whispered in his ear: "Master, this one is especially sweet. There is only one left, so I'll give it to you secretly!"
But how could others not hear this sound? Xue Danxing asked jealously, "Why didn't I hear it? Is it because I'm not your master?"
Bai Lu: "Yes, yes."
Xue Danxing: “…”
Immortal Boluan said with a smile: "Great, the relationship between master and disciple is deep."
"..." Huo Xuexiang said slowly, "The sect master is a Dharma cultivator, so he won't be of much help here."
Immortal Boluan felt as if he was being chased away, so he quickly said in a serious tone: "I'll just take this opportunity to study the Qingdi Jue. Junior brother, I'll study it seriously right away."
I will never dare to be so proud and talk nonsense again.
Bai Lu returned to her seat with snacks and continued to watch the game. She was amused from time to time, "Brother Pei, can't you add comments? I think we should add a comment function so that other students can leave messages."
"What is barrage?" Pei Zhaoting was puzzled.
Bai Lu described it and said, "Why don't we ask Liang Mangu to study it next time to see if it can be improved? But he is supervising the work recently, so I don't know if he has time..."
Liang Mangu and his peak are now the busiest in the entire Xuanshan. The deputy peak master Xu Zuichan is helping to research the Qingdi Jue, while the disciples below are busy on the production line.
Pei Zhaoting thought for a moment and said, "I have some repair tools at home. I'll write to them and ask them to make them and send them to me."
——Senior Brother Pei used his money ability again.
"Okay!" Bai Lu said immediately.
"Brother Bai..." Pei Zhaoting seemed to hesitate for a moment before saying, "When I came here, I saw everyone gliding on their swords."
Senior Brother Pei also discovered it. When Bai Lu mentioned this, her smile became even brighter, almost lighting up the whole room. She acknowledged it and said, "I taught you that!"
The elders beside him thought to themselves: There is no need to be so proud...
Pei Zhaoting: "Actually, I'm also studying the method of flying with a sword, but I can't get it right."
Elders: “…”
Is this also part of your repayment?
"It's okay, I'll teach you!" Bai Lu was very easy to talk to, and immediately took Pei Zhaoting to practice outside Shuchun Garden.
Huo Xuexiang frowned slightly unconsciously.
All emotions were mostly concealed by the blindfold... and they were extremely unfamiliar emotions to Huo Xuexiang. Pei Zhaoting must have admired Bai Lu, just like Ning Yanhu's questioning of Bai Lu's origin was out of concern and curiosity, and Huo Xuexiang didn't even want to stop him.
Bai Lu had made many friends when she first came to Xuanshan, and they often invited Meifeng to visit. Everyone was very nice to Bai Lu, and Huo Xuexiang even reminded Bai Lu of the etiquette for entertaining guests.
But now...
Why does this emotion deviate from safety considerations? Is it a bit unreasonable?
As a sword cultivator, Huo Xuexiang rarely hesitated. His fingers unconsciously brushed over the white flower ring, turning it.
"Your Majesty." Huo Xuexiang suddenly called out.
Chao Tianzi was watching and studying the Qingdi Jue from the side. He had no interest in watching Bai Lu play with the sword. He looked up blankly at this moment: "Ah?"
Huo Xuexiang said calmly: "Go and bring some tea to your master."
I want to stay here... But Chao Tianzi is worthy of being a peerless divine soldier. He shuddered sharply at this moment and said weakly: "Oh."
