196 Xiao Shiba
Chapter 196
After chatting with Feng Ming for a while, Ji Yuan calmed down a little.
The reason why he didn't leave immediately and suppressed his temper to chat with Feng Ming was because he was worried that after he left, he would lose his composure and not be able to control his emotions when he saw Qiu Yi.
After drinking another cup of tea, Ji Yuan restored his previous gentle and polite image and stood up to say goodbye to Feng Ming Bai Qiaomo.
Although Feng Ming sometimes has a bad mouth, his character is really good, otherwise why would he stand up for a family like the Ji family, and turn a blind eye to other people's affairs. He used to watch some things happen with cold eyes.
Ji Yuan left, and after the door closed, Feng Ming sat paralyzed in his seat.
"I didn't expect that all this would be exposed so quickly. It was Ji Yuan who revealed it himself. Do you think Ji Yuan can keep it to himself and not let anyone see any traces?"
Bai Qiaomo thought for a while and said, "I think so. He still doesn't know whether he is the orphan of the Ji family or not."
Feng Ming held his chin and sighed, "Sometimes I really hope that this is a mistake. Although his surname is Ji, he has nothing to do with the Ji family."
Bai Qiaomo rubbed Feng Ming's head. This was what Brother Ming wanted.
The Ji family was destroyed only more than 20 years ago. It was just that the imperial city was too far away from Lanyang County, so the people here had no idea.
But I believe that when people in Lanyang County come here, it is impossible for everyone to forget the Ji family and everything the Ji family has done.
Many of the city residents who had been protected by the Ji family and enjoyed the protection of the Ji family's formations were still alive.
Feng Ming wondered: "What are the intentions of Ji Yuan's master? Not only did he bring Ji Yuan back, he also accepted him as a disciple and taught him the formation."
This was the last thing he could accept, asking the living to face their dead relatives and the cruel reality.
Bai Qiaomo said, "Don't care, you are used to being high and mighty, and you don't think Ji Yuan has the ability to retaliate against them. In the eyes of those people, we are just ants for them to play with.
" Feng Ming sneered, "Be careful of capsizing, ants can sometimes overthrow elephants."
On the other side, Ji Yuan saw Qiu Yi, and his facial expression was very controlled, but the two grew up together since childhood. Although Qiu Yi didn't have much scheming, he knew Senior Brother Ji very well.
He couldn't see it, but he could intuitively feel that Senior Brother Ji was in a bad mood at the moment: "Senior Brother Ji, where did you go just now? What did you do?"
Senior Brother Ji was in a bad mood, maybe it was related to who he met or what he did.
Ji Yuan almost lost his composure, unable to control his emotions, he smiled and said, "I went to talk to Brother Bai about formations, and found out that I overestimated myself in the past and my formation skills. There are always people better than you in this world."
Qiu Yi believed whatever Ji Yuan said, and what Brother Ji said was the truth. Those two guys were really discouraging.
Qiu Yi said angrily: "Senior Brother Ji, don't belittle yourself. Isn't this what Senior Brother Ji told me? I will defeat Feng Ming, that bastard, sooner or later."
Ji Yuan smiled: "Yes, Junior Brother Qiu will definitely achieve his goal."
Qiu Yi immediately said: "Then I will go back to make medicine."
"Go ahead, I'm still waiting for Junior Brother Qiu's pills."
"Okay."
Qiu Yi was fooled by Ji Yuan's words and ran into the room to make medicine, leaving the little abnormality of Ji Yuan behind.
Qiu Yi understood Ji Yuan, and Ji Yuan also understood Qiu Yi very well.
When Ji Yuan returned to the room and activated the formation, the expression on his face could no longer be maintained and broke.
Seeing Junior Brother Qiu, he thought, if he is really the orphan of the Ji family, what should he do with Junior Brother Qiu?
If he is the orphan of the Ji family, his master and the royal family will be his enemies, and Junior Brother Qiu also has half royal blood.
When he is against the royal family, which side will Junior Brother Qiu stand on?
Ji Yuan's mind couldn't calm down at all, like a mess.
In the end, he could only smile bitterly, mocking him for claiming to be a smart man, but in fact he is the same as many ordinary people, not much better than them.
After that, he devoted his energy to the study of formations, and gradually put those trivial matters behind his mind. Only studying formations can make him completely calm down and concentrate.
Perhaps his talent for formations was really inherited from the Ji family, a formation family in Lanyang City.
***
After Ji Yuan came to visit, other cultivators also came to visit. They saw Wu Liyan trading pills with Feng Ming, and wondered if they could also exchange them for top-grade pills from Feng Ming.
Although Feng Ming didn't have many top-grade pills, what if he could exchange them for a few? That would be great luck.
They didn't want to exchange Yuan Jing for pills. Who doesn't know that Feng Ming and Bai Qiaomo are wealthy? They don't lack Yuan Jing for anything.
So they all brought spiritual herbs or other natural treasures that could help Feng Ming and Bai Qiaomo, and tried to propose the idea of trading pills to Feng Ming.
Feng Ming therefore started doing business on the ship's floor, exchanging the pills in his hand for the materials they needed.
Not every transaction was for top-grade pills, as Feng Ming did not want to reveal the number of top-grade pills he had, so he only traded one or two pills each time, and then supplemented them with high-grade pills.
But the cultivators who came to trade were very satisfied, after all, top-grade pills were rare, and high-grade pills were not everywhere.
After this experience, Feng Ming also took the initiative to go out and trade with other talisman makers and weapon refiners.
The five champions on the ship, in addition to Feng Ming and Bai Qiaomo, and the formation champion Ji Yuan, were the talisman maker champion Chang Xi, and the weapon refiner champion Lu Qian. Feng Ming took the initiative to find them, and the two also welcomed Feng Ming's arrival.
Feng Ming and Bai Qiaomo were equipped with talismans, but no one would have too much of such consumable materials.
The battle outside was not like the one on the ring. There would be many restrictions. Outside, people would survive by any means necessary, so the more self-defense items, the better.
So Feng Ming used the best pills to exchange a lot of defensive and offensive talismans made by Chang Xi. Both of them were very satisfied with the items traded, and Chang Xi also needed the best pills.
Feng Ming found Lu Gan again. Refining weapons required iron forging, so Lu Gan's appearance was very consistent with Feng Ming's impression of weapon refiners. He looked very strong and powerful.
Seeing Feng Ming looking for him, although Lu Gan also wanted the top-grade elixir, he didn't go to find Feng Ming because he felt that he didn't have what Feng Ming needed.
Feng Ming and Bai Qiaomo both have fifth-grade protective spiritual clothing, and they are not short of offensive weapons. They also have good things like fourth-grade flying boats. Even he is coveting them and wants to borrow them to study them.
Feng Ming discussed with Lu Gan: "Can Fellow Daoist Lu refine that kind of one-time explosive item with greater explosive power?"
Lu Gan was sweating when he heard it: "What does Feng the pharmacist need these things for?"
Feng Ming said as a matter of course: "Of course to protect myself and use it against the enemy. Fellow Daoist Lu also knows that our pharmacists are quite weak in combat, especially for a cultivator like me who has just entered the Yuanye realm. If I encounter an enemy, I will only be slaughtered. So I want to prepare more protective items. Fellow Daoist Lu, please tell me if you have such items. If you do, please sell me some."
Lu Gan scratched his head. Feng Ming's talent in refining medicine often makes people overlook his own cultivation.
Lu Gan also realized at this time that Feng Ming had just been promoted to the Yuanye Realm. He was only in the early stage of the Yuanye Realm. It seemed that he had not been promoted when he won the championship. His talent was really terrifying.
Lu Gan said, "I don't have such an item, but I heard that Fellow Daoist Bai's formation skills are not inferior to Fellow Daoist Ji, but?"
Feng Ming: "Huh? Why are you asking this? Is it related to what I want?"
Lu Gan nodded: "Yes, Fellow Daoist Feng, you know that weapon refiners also need to understand formation skills, but the requirements for formation skills are not that high. I have studied one thing, but my formation skills are still lacking, and I can't guarantee that I can refine what Fellow Daoist Feng needs."
Feng Ming clapped his hands happily and said, "So it really exists. I just came here to try my luck. That's good, I will let Brother Bai come to discuss with Fellow Daoist Lu."
Lu Gan sweated at first, and then became happy again.
Fellow Daoist Feng did not deny it, so Fellow Daoist Bai's formation skills are really not inferior to Fellow Daoist Ji.
In fact, they discussed this matter privately, but they had different opinions.
Lu Gan’s point of view was that Bai Qiaomo’s formation level was not necessarily weaker than Ji Yuan’s. Ji Yuan did not discover in advance that Bai Qiaomo had quietly set up the formation on the stage, and only cried out when the formation was activated.
And Feng Ming actually said that he was here to try his luck, which made Lu Gan not know what to say.
Feng Ming immediately turned back to Bai Qiaomo to explain the matter. Bai Qiaomo was also very interested after hearing it. He did not expect that Lu Gan would study this thing privately.
He could refine an explosive formation, but if the two were combined, the power and effect of the explosion would be more than doubled.
He might be able to take this opportunity to learn a little bit, and then refine this kind of item by himself in the future.
In the following time, Bai Qiaomo and Lu Gan worked together in the room, which surprised others.
Among the weapon refiners, Lu Gan's formation level is not bad, which is enough for refining weapons, so what does he want to discuss with Bai Qiaomo?
Feng Ming traded the items that should be traded, and spent the rest of the time looking for Qiu Yi to exchange ideas on medicine refining.
Qiu Yi is really more diligent than him. After getting on the ship, he stayed in his room most of the time to refine medicine. It can be judged by the strong smell of medicine on his body.
Feng Ming reflected on himself, and then stayed in the room with Qiu Yi to refine medicine.
Without Feng Ming, the atmosphere on the ship became much calmer.
The escorting Ninth Elder looked at Zong Yupao beside him and said, "Little Eighteen, you are quite calm."
Zong Yupao had been closing his eyes to regulate his breathing, but when he heard this, he opened his eyes and said, "Why can't you be calm?"
He didn't like people calling him Little Eighteen. His father had too many children. Couldn't he have fewer children if nothing happened?
The Ninth Elder stroked his beard and said, "Losing to the girl from the Wu family would have been okay, but you lost to a cultivator who had never had the slightest fame in the imperial city before, and he used a trick to defeat you on the stage. I thought you would not accept this, Little Eighteen."
Zong Yupao said calmly, "Ninth Elder, you underestimated me and Bai Qiaomo. I accept the defeat with a sincere heart."
"Although I have other means to break Bai Qiaomo's formation after leaving the stage, how do you know that Bai Qiaomo doesn't have other more powerful means?"
"Ninth Elder, you're worrying too much. Bai Qiaomo defeated me fairly and squarely on the stage, not to mention that I'm already in the Yuandan realm now."
Such strength is enough to make him look down on others among the younger generation.
