Chapter 045 Chapter 45
Chapter 45
Tianwen Pavilion had been peaceful these past few days, which made Eleven feel relieved. Finally, he happily counted the 100 high-quality spirit stones.
There are very few high-quality spirit stones circulating in the world of cultivation, and most of them are used as cultivation materials.
If this were placed in other sects, these 100 high-grade spirit stones might cause disciples to fight with each other, but in Tianwen Pavilion, such a fight would not occur at all.
After all, there is only one person in Tianwen Pavilion who can leak the secrets, there is no wife of the Pavilion Master, and there are no elders. All armed forces are protected by the Huanhai Sect.
Add to that the 20-year-old disciples, and the total number of disciples in the entire Tianwen Pavilion is no more than 40.
After deducting five from eleven and one from all the disciples, there are still fifty-six high-quality spirit stones left.
Tianwen Pavilion does not have any need for daily maintenance. Most of the disciples just regard Tianwen Pavilion as a place to work for 20 years. The boss pays them generously, so they are naturally conscientious and will not covet the Pavilion Master's spirit stones.
——The nearest Huanhai Sect stronghold is only a dozen miles away from Tianwen Pavilion. They are so old that they want to hang themselves that they attack Tianwen Pavilion under the protection of Huanhai Sect at such a short distance.
Eleven also routinely admonished these disciples and was about to go up to find the Pavilion Master, but several uninvited guests came to Tianwen Pavilion.
"Where is your Pavilion Master?"
Seeing the person coming, Eleven was suddenly frightened.
She knew Elder Bai and Elder Feng. They had taught her personally when the old Pavilion Master was still around.
Wait, the one who came here a month ago and spent money lavishly, who was wearing Huanhai Sect clothing, and who had a phoenix jade pendant tied around his waist...
Could it be the precious daughter of these two people?
Even though Eleven was mentally breaking down after the training, his face remained tense and he looked calm. He asked while directing his disciples to serve tea and water to these people.
"The Pavilion Master is resting. What matters do you have?"
Eleven looked at the two elders, and a charming female monk appeared behind them. A handsome-looking male monk asked in a cold tone.
"Under your care, my daughter went to the mortal world to experience trials. Now it has been found that my daughter has two children left in the mortal world. I wonder if your master can tell me the whereabouts of the two children? As an elder, you can't bear to see your own bloodline wandering around."
Unexpectedly, the two elders looked quite friendly. They did not grab her collar angrily and ask her why she came back with two more children after going out.
When Eleven heard this, he said calmly, "The Pavilion Master is resting. Please wait for a moment. We will go upstairs to ask the Pavilion Master first."
Then he left at a leisurely pace. Even Long Feng had to admit that all the disciples in Tianwen Pavilion, although they were replaced every 20 years, always seemed to be so steady.
All the disciples looked like they were cast from the same mold, with expressionless faces and not even the slightest hint of a smile.
But if you think about the business scope of Tianwen Pavilion, this will actually reassure the customers who come to ask questions.
The two elders were also a little curious as it was their first time to come to Tianwen Pavilion, but most of their attention was still on the Pavilion Master and his daughter Bai Fenglin, and they didn't pay attention to the situation of this disciple.
As for the He Huan Sect's senior sister...
——Her hand was almost touching the chest of the Tianwen Pavilion disciple.
Fortunately, he dodged without any expression and did not pursue the matter. He looked at the eldest senior sister of the Hehuan Sect as if she was looking at some garbage.
It seemed that that person thought that this would force the senior sister of the Hehuan Sect to retreat, but unfortunately it backfired.
The senior sister became even more excited, but in the end it was Long Feng who suppressed her.
He was really afraid that others would think that he had a problem with his taste. Although it was quite normal to have had several love affairs in the world of cultivation, the quality of previous love affairs would always affect a person's reputation.
Long Feng had previous relationships and they all ended amicably. Even if one of them stabbed someone, Long Feng was not affected at all due to the testimony of the others.
But now, look at the appearance of He Huan Sect's senior sister and the eyes of the two elders...
For the first time, Long Feng realized what it meant for an ex to look like a criminal record.

Fortunately, the disciple who had just entertained the guests quickly calmed down. Her expression did not change at all, and she still had an indifferent icy face.
Long Feng, feeling relieved, followed the disciple upstairs and only then did he notice the decoration of the Tianwen Pavilion.
Just like Bai Fenglin, when Long Feng saw what Tianwen Pavilion was using to decorate the curtains, he was immediately possessed by the spirit bull that the outer disciples used to plow the land, and his eyes widened.
Although he is quite rich and has had many adventures, those things are not spirit stones!
Even if he wanted to exchange those treasures for spirit stones, what he encountered were either thousand-year-old spirit herbs, thousand-year-old spirit beasts, or even ten-thousand-year-old spirit stone milk!
These things are very beneficial for cultivation, but can I exchange them for spirit stones?
Regardless of whether he was willing to part with it or not, the appearance of these things on the market would definitely attract the attention of those powerful people! It was more likely that his vest would be completely stripped.
This also resulted in Long Feng guarding an entire space ring full of natural treasures with great difficulty, but the number of spirit stones on him never exceeded 500 medium-grade spirit stones.
Even when going to an auction, I have to rely on my fellow apprentices.
And now the Tianwen Pavilion is so arrogant that it simply decorates the surface with spiritual stones, which makes Long Feng envious and jealous.
As the floors went higher, the decorations displayed before them became more and more luxurious.
At the top floor, even the mermaid gauze woven by the mermaid prince was just used as an ordinary door curtain.
Who doesn't know that this thing can be used on a magic weapon with water spiritual roots to enhance the owner's affinity for water spiritual power!
Now even the two elders were a little jealous.
But the foreman in front of him seemed to have not noticed the expressions of these people at all. He lifted the mermaid veil, knocked on the door, and after receiving a response from inside, he brought the person in.
"Master, the person has been brought here."
Eleven said respectfully, then stepped aside.
Only then did the few people who were hidden by Eleven see the appearance of the Pavilion Master clearly.
"hiss--"
*
The eldest senior sister of the Hehuan Sect, who was fond of beauties, took a deep breath of cold air the first moment.
The first thing she saw was the luxurious and mysterious decoration of the top floor room and the spiritual power overflowing in the entire room.
She subconsciously started to complain about the rich man. Even though their Hehuan Sect was, to some extent, the object of jealousy of other cultivators, this time she was truly jealous of the Pavilion Master of Tianwen Pavilion.
He is too rich!
When she lowered her head, she saw the leader of Tianwen Pavilion and couldn't help but gasp.
How to describe the person she saw?
The lustre of jade pales in comparison to him, and the sheen of pearls seems too glossy in comparison to him.
Although she has fair hair and skin, she insists on wearing a black eye mask, a black headband, and a black and purple robe.
Weak and mysterious.
The eldest sister of the Hehuan Sect felt like her soul was about to fly away.
Others were also somewhat touched by the appearance of the Tianwen Pavilion Master.
The leader of Tianwen Pavilion didn't seem to feel their burning gazes, but he certainly didn't feel it.
The master of the Astronomy Pavilion was born blind.
When Long Feng thought of this, he looked at the eyes covered by the black blindfold and felt a little regretful. However, he did not expect that his gaze only stayed for three seconds before the Pavilion Master raised his head.
It was as if the pair of blind eyes were looking at him through the blindfold.
Elder Bai, who was older than them, was more determined than them. She stepped forward and asked, "Pavilion Master Hanjue, we are here to find my daughter's child, which is also the whereabouts of our two grandchildren. I wonder if you can help us?"
As Elder Bai was speaking, Elder Feng at the side used his spiritual power to send a space bag to the table of the Tianwen Pavilion Master.
"This is two hundred high-grade spirit stones. Of course, it's just the initial deposit. When we take the child back later, Huanhai Sect will definitely give us a generous gift to express our gratitude!"
Elder Bai said.
Long Feng, who was extremely poor, almost couldn't help himself when he saw these 200 high-quality spirit stones. Fortunately, he reacted quickly and diverted his attention.
Only then did he notice that although Elder Bai spoke modestly, her tone was very firm, and it seemed that she did not think highly of the people from Tianwen Pavilion.
Even though he was the Pavilion Master of Tianwen Pavilion, Elder Bai did not have much respect for him.
Long Feng was thinking about what was going on between Huanhai Sect and Tianwen Pavilion when he heard an ethereal and vague voice.
“No need.”
A stream of spiritual power came over and lightly sent the purse that had belonged to Brother Fenghuang back into Elder Feng's arms.
Long Feng saw Elder Bai frowned, and before Elder Bai could ask a question, the Pavilion Master spoke.
"The child born from a body that has gone through calamities is not your offspring. It is just tainted with some of your aura. There is no need to be obsessed with it."
As a martial artist, it took Long Feng a long time to realize that the Pavilion Master had rejected the request of Elder Bai and the others, and said that the child born after the tribulation was not of their blood, but was just contaminated with some soul aura, so there was no need to worry about it.
However, the family of three was visibly anxious.
"The bloodline body is not important to a cultivator. There are many cultivators who destroy their physical bodies and possess other instruments to become instrument spirits. The soul aura is the most important thing."
Elder Feng said with a frown.
Huan of the Huanhai Sect said that the founder started out as a weapon cultivator. Although the founder's swordsmanship was also the best at that time, he was more of a weapon cultivator.
This also led to the founding ancestors being quite proficient in instruments. Some ancestors, who realized their time was up, even passed on the instruments they had made to their descendants. Now, their Huanhai Sect can firmly sit as the number one sect in the East China Sea, with no one coming to attack. Could it be that they really only rely on an ancestor in the Spirit Transformation Stage?
It’s all because of those ancestors who turned themselves into tools.
However, the leader of Tianwen Pavilion still shook his head and rejected them.
"Don't meddle with the fate of mortals, or the laws of nature will backfire."
The two elders were a little hesitant when they heard this, but after thinking about the lack of young people in the sect, they became determined.
Ever since his daughter joined the Huanhai Sect, except for a few young disciples who joined in the second year, no one has become a disciple in their Huanhai Sect for a long time.
No one took it seriously at first, but after finding out the result, the entire sect started to get anxious.
——Damn it, who would have known that letting the devil cultivators and those monster cultivators in the sea go would have such consequences!
Those mortal villages were the favorite food and targets of slaughter for those demon cultivators and monster cultivators. Although their Huanhai Sect protected the East China Sea, they only needed to drive the people away and compensate them. As for how those mortals lived after getting the money, they did not care too much.
Now the consequences have come.
Those living in mortal villages have been cultivated by demons and monsters, and even some righteous people have sacrificed themselves for the so-called justice of the world.
They can only get some money as compensation afterwards, and their deceased relatives will never come back, so why do they still have children?
After being born into this world, will you be killed by demon cultivators or sacrifice yourself for the world?
The possibility for these mortals to give birth to a child with spiritual roots is only one in a thousand, and the possibility of giving birth to a child with only one spiritual root is even more one in a hundred thousand.
If they can't survive and the crops they grow may be pulled out by some big shot at any time, then why do they still farm?
Or why do they still insist on being free agents?
Wouldn't it be better to serve people honestly under the protection of the monks?
What's more, those normal monks, for fear of punishment from heaven, did not dare to touch or even use violence against them. As long as they worked honestly, they would basically not do anything to them.
Even if there are demon cultivators and monster cultivators around, there are protective barriers where the cultivators live. As long as these mortals don't seek death and run outside the barrier, those demon cultivators and monster cultivators won't dare to break into the barrier.
This means that the two sides have gone to war!
As a result, ordinary people unknowingly reduced the number of free people. After all, it is easy to die when giving birth to a child, and it requires food after giving birth, and you cannot support yourself, so it is better not to have children.
On the contrary, those mortals who seek refuge under the monks would be willing to have children because of sufficient food and conditions.
If Gu Youxing knew this, he would probably find it black humor.
In short, the previous selection method of going to the village to find children with spiritual roots and bringing them back to the sect is completely useless.
The village is gone, so how could there be children with spiritual roots in the village?
You can only rely on recommendations from your own family or give birth to your own child.
It would be a good idea to rob the mortals who have taken refuge under the monks, but it is a drop in the bucket.
The Huanhai Sect doesn't have many mortals, which is why the two elders are so anxious.
The two Miaomiao have a connection with Huanhai Sect. They can be influenced by my daughter's soul aura, so their qualifications must be not bad.
Unfortunately, the Pavilion Master Han Jue in front of him still did not agree.
Long Feng looked at the people who were in a stalemate and realized that now was the time for him to take action.
Then, in the quiet top-floor room, a heroic voice was heard.
"Master Han Jue, how about this? You and I duel. If you move within three moves, you lose. You have to calculate the whereabouts of the two children. If you don't move within three moves, you win, and I will kneel down and apologize immediately."
The handsome young man said with a smile, looking at the white-haired Pavilion Master sitting in front of the table with his bright eyes.
Using force to decide victory or defeat is indeed the rule in the world of cultivation, and Long Feng is only in the middle stage of foundation building at the age of fifty, while Han Jue is already in the early stage of golden elixir at the age of 200. Even if Han Jue is not good at fighting, it is not considered bullying within three moves.
The eyes of the two elders also lit up instantly. Everyone knew that Long Feng had never lost on the duel stage. Bai Fenglin's originally depressed mood immediately improved, and the look he gave Long Feng was full of admiration.
However, Eleven on the side quietly stepped forward.
"The Pavilion Master was born blind and weak, and has never practiced any attack or defense techniques. Please do not mention fighting techniques."
Eleven spoke in a cold voice, but the words that came out of his mouth made the people present wonder if they had heard it wrongly.
At the initial stage of Golden Elixir cultivation, he had not practiced any attack or defense techniques, so what was the purpose of the cultivation method of this Pavilion Master?
"The Spring Rain Technique nourishes the body. The two elders can go back and ask the head of your sect."
The implication of Eleven's words was very clear.
Their leader is frail and blind, and can only predict past disasters and tell fortunes. Don't come here to fight him!
When they come over, they will complain to their parents!
Now even Long Feng was a little speechless, he had not expected this situation.
Who could have imagined that a cultivator in the early stage of the Golden Core Realm would be as delicate and soft as a young lady in the boudoir!
Moreover, his disciples don’t think there’s anything wrong with this. After all, they don’t rely on the Pavilion Master’s skills to make a living.
Long Feng blushed a little when he looked at the delicate and weak body of the Tianwen Pavilion Master.
"Put aside my affairs for now. Those two sons are not yours. Even if you bring them back, they will easily affect your cultivation."
The leader of Tianwen Pavilion did not seem to care about his combat and defensive capabilities, but emphasized again that he would not help them find the whereabouts of the two children.
Long Feng, who was originally blushing, frowned and retorted when he heard this.
"Pavilion Master, please do not make arbitrary definitions. Those whose cultivation can be influenced by two children will naturally not be able to pursue the path of immortality. As for those who have a firm heart for Taoism, two children will not affect them in any way. I believe that Junior Sister Bai is the latter."
Long Feng spoke up for justice.
The two elders' eyes softened when they saw Long Feng like this, as if they were looking at their own son-in-law.
Bai Fenglin was extremely grateful to his junior brother and decided to give all his private money to Long Feng when he returned.
Unfortunately, the leader of Tianwen Pavilion is just a little weak in physique, and he is as stubborn as a donkey. Even if Long Feng's words are extremely powerful, they don't count.
Although the two elders also thought that Long Feng was right, they were still hesitant about the impact on their cultivation.
Suddenly, the top floor room was so noisy that people were about to quarrel.
Even the eldest senior sister of the Hehuan Sect got involved. She stood beside the Pavilion Master of the Tianwen Pavilion, fearing that the world would not be in chaos.
In the end, it was Bai Fenglin who ended the fight.
"Oh, Dad, Mom, and fellow Taoists from the Hehuan Sect, you guys are talking as if I can successfully break through the Tribulation Stage without these two children. Do you think I am such a genius?"
Bai Fenglin casually complained, but he didn't expect that everyone present was silent.
Now it was Bai Fenglin who was embarrassed.
The atmosphere fell into an eerie silence.
But no one expected that the one who broke the silence was the Pavilion Master of Tianwen Pavilion.
“That makes sense.”
The head of Tianwen Pavilion stood up, and his beautiful white hair slid down his shoulders like pouring moonlight.
Although he was blind, he arrived at the small hall accurately.
The original chaise longue has disappeared, replaced by a basin rack carrying a large basin.
There was a dark liquid in the basin.
"Come here, I need guidance."
Bai Fenglin was really just complaining casually:...Master Hanjue, my self-esteem is hurt by you doing this.
Long Feng, who almost got into a fight just now: ...Why did I want to quarrel just now.
The two elders who were really afraid of affecting their cultivation: ...seemed to be worrying about nothing.
*
Fortunately, none of them were the kind of people who would hesitate. After they were sure that the Pavilion Master would help them figure out where the child was, they immediately ran to the basin.
Han Jue did not try to be mysterious. After Bai Fenglin arrived, he immediately asked her to stand in front of the basin of water, and then asked her to use as much spiritual power as possible to input into the basin of water.
As the liquid vibrated, it soon took on a smooth, glass-like texture. Even if Bai Fenglin stopped inputting spiritual power, the liquid still maintained that shape.
"Mirror without form!?" Long Feng couldn't help but exclaimed in a low voice.
This Wuxiang Mirror was circulated on the market a month ago, but this Wuxiang Mirror has already existed in legends for a long time. He heard this little-known knowledge from the head of the sect.
Nowadays, this liquid-like phaseless mirror has been sold at a sky-high price in the market. A pair of phaseless mirror is worth 10 top-grade spirit stones.
Even if you can only randomly view the bird's-eye view within a radius of ten kilometers, you still have more opportunities than others in the secret realm.
Before coming here today, he was still sighing that all his rare treasures finally had a place to be put to good use. Who would have thought that he would see a mirror without a mirror here.
Long Feng's eyes changed when he saw Pavilion Master Han Jue, who was still trying his best to cast a spell.
What a rich man!
[The phaseless mirror, changes into a phaseless mirror, like a mirror reflecting an image, the portable invisible drone can be praised by the host like this, it is really amazing, and you even made up an ancient legend of the phaseless mirror. ] 777 complained.
[This is the best way to make some money temporarily.] Gu Youxing pretended to release some mental energy, then called 777 to play the video.
[And spiritual power is also a kind of mental power, but one is stored in the brain and the other is stored in the body. This portable drone can use mental power as energy, and spiritual power can also be used, so it is the best product. ]
[Although it is a bit rough, it is just the difference between 92# gasoline and 98# gasoline. Anyway, as long as it can be used, it is fine. ]
[Host, you are not afraid of being accused of fraud. You sold a drone with a thousand emotion points to you for the price of ten top-grade spirit stones.] 777 complained.
[What scam? They should thank us.] Gu Youxing said with a raised mouth.
[It's really easy to cheat people out of money from cross-border transactions, but host, how do you explain the time issue? It took such a short time to go through the tribulation, and the child below is already ten years old? ] 777 asked curiously.
[The flow of time is different, just like a small secret realm. If the time is the same, then we can say that the two worlds are slowly approaching each other. In the end, the right to interpret is mine.] Gu Youxing said lazily.
[Host, you are the best person I have ever seen at playing with time difference.] 777 said with admiration.
Gu Youxing curled the corners of his mouth in his heart, but his face remained calm. After a few gestures and fluctuations of spiritual power, he slowly placed his slender hand on the Wuxiang Mirror, and then moved it away little by little.
The picture became clearer little by little.
"Yuanfu!"
Bai Fenglin screamed, then immediately covered her mouth, tears falling drop by drop.
The girl appearing in the picture was clearly her Yuanfu.
But now Yuanfu looks lifeless, with no trace of her childhood except her face. She would sit quietly in a chair, counting accounts and playing the piano.
——Just like all the ladies from noble families she had seen during her ordeal.
Except that she is more lively now that Yuanbao comes over, she wouldn't even laugh too loudly before.
Bai Fenglin's heart almost broke.
She tried hard to hold back her tears and continued reading. She saw Yuanbao pulling Yuanfu towards a place. The two children had rare happy smiles on their faces. Bai Fenglin didn't understand what was going on, but the scene actually followed the two children into a room.
Before Bai Fenglin could react and realize that the Photoless Mirror could actually follow people into the room, the scene before her made her breath stop.
——It is a statue of a god.
The statue is based on her appearance during her time on earth.
Seeing the two children bowing devoutly to the statue, Bai Fenglin couldn't hold back his tears, which fell down.
Long Feng was about to comfort Bai Fenglin, but when he turned around he noticed that the Pavilion Master of Tianwen Pavilion had frowned.
"Master, is there any problem?"
Long Feng asked warily.
"Nothing."
The leader of Hanjue Pavilion flicked his sleeves and put away the Wuxiang Mirror.
Long Feng noticed that when the Pavilion Master was putting away the picture, the boy on the picture seemed to look back at them.
Before Long Feng could think clearly, he heard the Pavilion Master say lightly.
"It's just that these two boys help fellow Taoists embark on the path of merit."
"!!!"
