Chapter 154: Dream of a Good Adviser
The matter should have ended there, and Gong Mengbi should have stepped down.
But at this moment, the Jade Fairy Goddess looked at Gong Mengbi and suddenly asked, "Gong Mengbi, do you have a courtesy name?"
Gong Mengbi looked up at the Jade Fairy Goddess, his heart filled with joy. He understood what the Goddess meant and quickly said, "I don't have a courtesy name yet."
The fox fairies' expressions changed suddenly, and when they looked at Gong Mengbi, their eyes were filled with jealousy and surprise.
The Jade Fairy Goddess pondered and said, "Shang Gaozong dreamed that the emperor brought a good advisor, and thus he found Fu Yue in the wild. Now I see a virtuous person like you. I dare not compare myself to Fu Yue, but you are also a wise and good advisor."
"Since you don't have a courtesy name, how about calling yourself Mingfu?"
Gong Mengbi was excited, but he still managed to hold himself together: "Thank you, goddess, for the calligraphy."
All of the fox fairies present were so jealous that their faces were distorted.
Zuo Fu and You Bi, Ming Fu means Ming Fu.
Such regard, such favor! In the Heavenly Fox Court, this is a third-rank mountain master, in charge of all foxes in the world. Once out of the Heavenly Fox Court, this is a super-grade celestial being, free and eternal.
When a headmaster bestows a name on someone, it is a token of deep love. When a celestial being bestows a name on someone, it is a token of great destiny.
Gong Mengbi looked at the fox spirits in the field, their eyes filled with jealousy, resentment, or indifference, and a surge of pride surged in his heart. He didn't know whether such good fortune was good or bad, but such recognition was enough to prove that Gong Mengbi had done the right thing.
Gong Mengbi felt a little sigh in his heart because he had so many bad relationships.
Xun Jijiu obviously hadn't expected the goddess to act this way, but he was still more happy than worried. He said, "Gong Mengbi, please leave first."
Fairy Qingyao escorted Gong Mengbi out the door. Seeing the slightly worried look on his face, she smiled and asked, "How does it feel to be famous?"
Gong Mengbi smiled bitterly: "I am naturally overjoyed to be favored by the goddess, but I don't know what to do when I arouse jealousy."
Fairy Qingyao's eyes were filled with meaning. "If you are not envied, you are mediocre. With your talent, character and skills, you can and should shoulder greater responsibilities. Practice hard, avoid arrogance and impatience. With your profound Dao, you will naturally be fearless."
Gong Mengbi looked at Fairy Qingyao deeply.
This divine messenger in green has a beautiful face and a tall figure. When he moves, his jade belt flutters, giving him a fairy-like demeanor. The expectations people have for him in his eyes and brows make him even more charming.
He calmed himself down and said, "Thank you, Divine Envoy... Thank you, Fairy Qingyao, for your teachings."
Fairy Qingyao said, "I only hope that you can grow up quickly. Your current level of cultivation, at the third rank, is still a little weak."
Gong Mengbi laughed and said, "But at this time last year, I was only at the ninth rank."
Fairy Qingyao laughed, her eyes as clear as autumn water. "I forgot about that. Oh, and remember, Xun Jijiu gave you this treasure house spirit tablet. You should think carefully about it. Xun Jijiu didn't open his treasure house easily in the past."
Gong Mengbi said: "I have already made a plan."
"We're here." Fairy Qingyao suddenly stopped.
Gong Mengbi realized that he had returned to Shouyue Tower without realizing it.
He turned around to look at Fairy Qingyao, but saw only a thin mist floating around and could no longer see anything.
Gong Mengbi was slightly stunned: "Slow down."
After returning to Wu Ning, the disputes in Tianhu Academy were temporarily put aside with Gong Mengbi. His current skills were not enough to become a chess player, and he could not manipulate the situation in Tianhu Academy.
Soon, the Heavenly Fox Academy received its reward, including a seventh-grade Heavenly Garment and a treasure trove of spiritual tablets. At the same time, the Wuning County Fox Academy officially became an official subsidiary of the Heavenly Fox Academy.
Gong Mengbi did not keep the spirit tablet unused, but immediately activated it with his magic power, and with the spiritual light of the spirit tablet, the spirit god fell into a treasure house.
"Who breaks into the treasure house without permission?"
As soon as Gong Mengbi arrived at the treasure house, he heard a scolding.
He looked in the direction of the sound and saw a one-eyed old fox staring at him. Seeing the spiritual light on him, it said, "So you have a spiritual tablet with you. Are you Gong Mingfu?"
Gong Mengbi cupped his hands and said, "It's Xiaohu, nice to meet you, Senior."
The one-eyed old fox took a sip of wine and nestled in the doorway again, saying, "The items are on the shelf. Go pick them yourself. If it's a magic weapon, you can only get one. If it's a spiritual material, you can get ten."
Magical instruments are difficult to refine, often requiring a significant investment of time and financial resources, and their valuations are often higher than those of spiritual materials. However, because the spiritual materials in the treasury are not ordinary goods, their valuations are also not low.
Gong Mengbi flipped through the account books on the shelf. There were many items in them, but Gong Mengbi had a clear goal and was not overwhelmed by the choices.
He originally wanted to take this opportunity to ask Xun Jijiu for some spiritual materials, but Xun Jijiu was rarely willing to spend money, so he didn't ask for anything and just gave him the treasure house spiritual tablet.
He is now refining the flying sword embryo in the small golden furnace, and he will be able to refine it as soon as the spiritual materials are poured in.
Therefore, the first priority was to find suitable spiritual materials for practicing swordsmanship. After finding them, Gong Mengbi chose a good piece of wood, and finally trimmed it, copied it, and handed it to the one-eyed old fox.
The old fox took a look and said, "Hey, you're forging a sword?"
Although the old fox was blind, he had great knowledge. "You have ten kinds of spiritual materials, seven of which are used to refine flying swords. This piece of paulownia wood is a good material for making zithers, so don't waste it. There are also two spices. What you have learned is really complicated."
Gong Mengbi's heart skipped a beat, and he said with a fake smile: "Senior, you have a really sharp eye."
The old fox laughed and said, "If you don't have the ability, how can you protect the treasure house?"
Just by looking at this list of materials, the old fox saw through Gong Mengbi's tricks. However, after seeing through them, he blew lightly, and the list of materials turned into ashes.
Seeing Gong Mengbi's surprised expression, the one-eyed old fox said, "Don't worry, my position is of the utmost importance to confidentiality. If it is not kept secret, you will lose your virginity."
Gong Mengbi smiled and said, "Senior, since you are able to guard the treasure house of the Sky Fox Courtyard, you must be a trustworthy person. I don't know your name yet."
The one-eyed old fox snorted and said, "I'm old now. I can't remember my name. I just remember my last name is Liu. You can just call me One-Eyed Liu."
"Senior Liu, how many years have you been in charge of the treasury?" Gong Mengbi asked curiously.
One-Eyed Liu chuckled and said, "I'll take office together with Old Man Xun. He'll be the chief priest, and I'll be in charge of the treasury. Are you satisfied?"
Gong Mengbi was seen through by him, but he was not embarrassed. Instead, he said in a friendly way: "Then he is one of our family."
One-Eyed Liu was surprised by his ability to strike at the last second and waved his hand, saying, "Get out of the way."
Gong Mengbi laughed and said, "Thank you for troubling Senior Liu."
One-Eyed Liu said, "I'll have someone send it to you later."
The token's brilliance faded, and Gong Mengbi's mind returned to his body. He then looked at the spirit tablet in his hand, but it had already lost its brilliance and could no longer be used.
Gong Mengbi calmed down and went to look at the wishing tree again.
At that time in the Heavenly Fox Courtyard, the Jade Fairy Goddess bestowed a courtesy name on him. Although this made countless foxes jealous, it also instantly pushed the treasure certificate on the wishing tree to the sixth rank.
The sixth rank is already among the middle three ranks.
Counting the treasures on the tree, I've found quite a lot recently. Most of the foxes in the Fox Court are outsiders, with a few ninth-rank. Eighth-rank ones include Wen Mengchun and Chiyushe.
The seventh rank includes Meng Hua, Huo Long Zhenren, Dr. Huang, and Xun Jijiu.
The sixth rank is a Jade Fairy Goddess, who was at the ninth rank last time. Now she has jumped to the sixth rank and can pray to the eighth, seventh, and sixth rank once each.
When Taiyin Yuantai was completed, one seventh-grade treasure certificate was used up. Now there are three eighth-grade treasure certificates, four seventh-grade treasure certificates, and one sixth-grade treasure certificate left.
Gong Mengbi had never seen such a wealthy scene before, and he immediately understood the happiness of Xun Jijiu. He was happy to see the treasury full.
