Chapter 30: Accept Gifts but Not Cthulhu
For Xiao Bai, the most thrilling and difficult time has passed.
The following gift-receiving session is equivalent to the closing ceremony of the clan tour ceremony and is relatively relaxed.
All you have to do is follow your wife, bow to each elder one by one, and wait to receive gifts.
As the head of the sect, Chun Xiaozi was unwilling to lag behind and took the lead in giving Xiao Bai a bamboo flute he made himself.
There is also a line of poetry engraved on the wall of the flute using a French seal:
On a moonlit night with snow on the snow, who can teach me to play the flute?
It's very artistic! In addition, this flute should have a sound attack effect when played, which is also worth a lot of money.
"Thank you, Master Brother."
Xiao Bai directly called him senior brother and didn't feel shameless.
Next, Lord Jianzong frowned and looked down at Xiao Bai, not even looking at Yu Hu. He just threw a painting at Xiao Bai.
Xiao Bai opened it and took a look.
Signed by Qishan.
It turned out to be the handwritten calligraphy of Lord Jianzong! As for what the painting was about... it was somewhat postmodern in style, Xiao Bai only saw arrogance and unruliness.
"Thank you, Master Jianzong."
Xiao Bai vaguely felt that these two seemed to be still showing off their talents, and still couldn't forget Elder Yu Hu? The rice had already been cooked, it was too late...
Next.
The stern-looking elder of discipline, Zhong Fuzi, directly gave some spirit stones.
The brocade bag was heavy, Xiao Bai didn't count it carefully, it was about a hundred yuan.
In the Tianyuan era, one hundred spirit stones was not a small amount, and it was barely shameful to use it as a share of the money.
I just don't take it that seriously.
"Thank you, Brother Zhong."
The sword-wielding elder, Wei Shanjun, who was as tall as a mountain, gave Xiao Bai a sword-grinding stone.
By the way, I also sent a message:
"A cultivator must not only hone his mind and cultivate his physique, but he must also constantly hone his sword. Only when the sword is sharp can the person be sharp."
That makes sense...
Xiao Bai accepted the gift and clasped his fists:
"Thank you, Brother Wei!"
Gong Shuzi, the master of foundry, who was as thin as a stick, originally planned to give a flying kite as a gift.
Seeing that Xiao Bai had refined his Qi and flying the kite was useless, he exchanged it for 100 spirit stones.
Although he was perfunctorily treated, Xiao Bai still respected the old and loved the young, and said with a bow:
"Thank you, Brother Gongshu!"
Seeing that the Discipline Elder and the Weapon-Forging Elder only gave one hundred spirit stones, the other elders no longer cared about their face and secretly exchanged the gifts they had prepared in advance for one hundred spirit stones.
Xiao Bai didn't care.
Anyway, he couldn't use anything he was given, so he basically had to give it to his wife. His wife would exchange the money for medicinal materials, and then refine them into elixirs to feed him back. Isn't that wonderful? Finally, the gifts from the heads and elders of other sects were more precious, mostly spiritual stones and medicinal materials.
The starting price for spirit stones is 200, and medicinal materials are also very rare, so he is more generous than the elders in the sect.
After turning around, Xiao Bai suddenly realized that he didn't see the Beast Tamer Elder.
Just as I was about to ask, the charming old woman suddenly came back.
A thin purple robe was loosely draped on Yaorao's body, revealing her bright red chest and a waist as tight as an ant.
He held a jade pot in one hand.
The material is white jade.
Although it is shaped like a pot, it is a urinal!
"I thought that you were a mortal and would need to urinate, but I didn't expect you to be able to refine your Qi so quickly. Although this teapot is useless, the jade is top-grade, so you can make a new teapot with it."
She is an old lady, but she still speaks in a coquettish voice.
Even a fool can tell who she is insulting!
Chun Xiaozi had a gloomy face and didn't know what to say.
Yu Hu remained calm, his expression was normal, and his face was dull, as if he didn't care at all.
Xiao Bai felt that his wife might not be generous, but she was a demon woman lurking in the Xueyan Sect...
But he couldn't stand it! His wife was humiliated, Xiao Bai didn't say anything, raised his hand and stabbed with a sword——
Swish! The sword split the jade pot in half, and with a snap, it shattered on the ground! In the end, facing Master Zhe Hui, Xiao Bai did not forget to fight back, saying: "The jade is good, but it can be split by a disciple of the Qi Refining Realm. I guess it must have been in disrepair for a long time, and it is in ruins. Elder, you should keep it for yourself."
It has been in disrepair for a long time and is still withered...
Zhenren Zhe Hui was so angry that his eyebrows raised and his chest trembled!
But as a beast taming elder, he couldn't argue with the newcomer Xiao Bai, so as not to lose his status.
The disciples of the Ten Thousand Beasts Peak behind him were also angry but dared not speak out. No one wanted to cause trouble in public in front of the absolutely righteous Xiao Bai, Jianzong and Elder Jie.
Only the sword-wielding elder Wei Shanjun and a short disciple beside him had a slightly solemn expression.
Because they saw...
The sword that Xiao Bai used to cut the jade just now was not simple! At least, that sword was not something that a Qi Refining cultivator could reach.
Speaking of those people in the Xueyan Sect who don't get along with Elder Yuhu - besides Zhenren Zhehui who has a secret crush on the Sect Leader, there's Elder Zhijian Wei Shanjun.
The two became enemies because of fighting over a disciple.
More than thirty years ago.
When Yijianhu first entered the sect, she had originally planned to learn sword at Zhijian Peak. However, after seeing the true appearance of Elder Yuhu, she was bewitched and joined Baicao Peak.
The sword-wielding talent of the Sword Fox, which was seldom seen in a century, was also wasted at Baicao Peak.
Afterwards, she went astray in the Zong Kingdom War, killing indiscriminately without distinguishing between friend and foe, and ended the war prematurely.
After the war, he was imprisoned in the Taoist Alliance Prison. If it weren't for his strong background, he would have been killed long ago.
Whenever he thought of this, Wei Shanjun felt sad.
He saw the shadow of a sword fox on Xiao Bai's sword just now...
I thought, could this woman be trying to seduce the talented swordsman again?
No, he must see what Xiao Bai is capable of.
Thinking of this, he suddenly said to Zhe Hui in a sarcastic tone: "Yu was cut off, Ru Hui was cut off, on such a happy day...Wan Shou Peak will not be empty-handed and not give gifts, right?"
He is a professional at adding fuel to the fire.
Master Zhe Hui rolled his eyes at him, suppressing his anger.
As an elder, it was inconvenient for him to take action against the newcomer himself, so he hinted to his direct disciple beside him and the disciples of Wanshou Peak behind him.
"Who among you has a newly acquired Qi Refining Realm spirit beast? Take it out and see if it can catch Junior Brother Xiao's eye."
Behind him, a core disciple at the Foundation Establishment Stage raised his hand and responded, "I just caught a beast not long ago, but it was ferocious and difficult to tame. If Master Xiao can tame it, it will be considered a gift from the Ten Thousand Beasts Peak."
Xiao Bai let out a long sigh.
He thought that after he displayed his absolute sense of justice like Akainu, no one would dare to cause trouble, but in the end, what was coming still came.
Behind him, the Yin-Yang Master said, "Brother Chen Tang, don't joke. It's unfair to ask the master who has just practiced Qi to subdue the fierce beast that the disciples of the Ten Thousand Beasts Peak can't subdue. What's more, fierce beasts are unpredictable and there are unknown risks."
Wei Shanjun laughed loudly, with a sword intent that could swallow the sky and the river.
"With Junior Sister Zhe Hui here, is it possible that your Grand Master will be hurt?"
This fat guy is really good at adding fuel to the fire! "No problem."
Xiao Bai felt helpless, but he straightened his chest and refused to lose.
"Everyone in the world comes here for profit, so how can we refuse a courtesy?"
That’s all.
A disciple from the Myriad Beasts Peak named Chen Tang opened his storage bag and released a cloud of mist.
The fog swelled with the wind, quickly covering the entire mountain gate square.
The fog was so thick that visibility plummeted, even partially obstructing the divine sense, and even the nearest flame spring became dim...
What the hell?
Can fog be considered a ferocious beast?
Xiao Bai turned his head to look at the elder beside him, whose green robe and white cloak seemed to be floating in the air.
"Look up at the sky."
Yu Hu reminded calmly.
Xiao Bai looked up immediately.
I saw a huge octopus-shaped monster, mistaking the mist for sea water, swimming slowly above my head.
Behind the pitch-black, huge head, there were long tentacles and tails... It was vast and strange, as if he was in the ancient wilderness! Xiao Bai's scalp tingled when he saw it.
Is this a Qi-refining beast?
This is Cthulhu! I won't accept any gifts during this year's inspection tour, and even if I do, I won't accept any Cthulhu!
Not only Xiao Bai, but even Yu Hu and Mu Yun frowned.
"Um, Fellow Daoist Chen...Uncle Master, can I take back what I just said?"
