Chapter 65, Baichuan Pavilion
After receiving a series of combat upgrades and experiencing a series of extraordinary encounters, he hurriedly put down his house repair work and went out to find Qiao Feng.
By the time she found Qiao Feng, the battle was already over.
Seeing Qiao Feng's health bar reduced to half, he showed off his extraordinary encounter and handed him several high-grade Myriad Spirit Pills, allowing Qiao Feng to fully recover his health. Only then did he ask, "What happened?"
Qiao Feng shook his head: "It's nothing serious. I guess other forces learned that we were trying to create the Hundred Rivers Pavilion, and sent someone to test my skills."
Despite his supposed extraordinary encounter, he wasn't so easily fooled. Pointing to the pile of corpses on the ground, he said, "Who would send so many people to test their skills?"
He couldn't help but feel angry when he recalled that the people from Jinfeng Xiyulou and Liufenbantang had bought his Na Yuan Dan one day and then ordered him to sabotage his business the next.
"Bai Choufei and the others always say that individual bravery is useless in the capital, but I just don't believe it."
As he spoke, he opened the martial arts assistant and held the dragon carp in his palm: "You wait here, I'm going to meet Lei Sun and Su Mengzhen now, so they'll know that the people of our Baichuan Pavilion are not so easy to mess with."
Before he could even show off his extraordinary encounter and use his superb lightness skill to leave, Qiao Feng grabbed his wrist.
"Don't be impulsive. Not all of those who attacked me today were from the Six and a Half Hall and the Golden Wind and Fine Rain Pavilion."
What do you mean?
Qiao Feng patiently explained in detail: "The people who attacked me may not have known each other on the surface, but I paid special attention to them during the battle. They would subconsciously cooperate with each other when they encountered danger."
"Among them, the largest number of people belong to the Six and a Half Hall and the Golden Wind and Drizzle Pavilion, but they are not the only two forces involved. There are also third-party forces taking advantage of the situation."
"Although they concealed it well, they still revealed a flaw in the moment of crisis."
"I think that might be a spy from another force lurking in the Golden Wind and Drizzle Pavilion and the Six and a Half Hall."
"So what if there are third-party forces involved?" Showing off his extraordinary encounter, he still couldn't swallow his anger: "Since Six and a Half Hall and Golden Wind and Fine Rain Pavilion have attacked us, we should naturally retaliate."
"If we just swallow this loss silently, what will other martial arts practitioners in the capital think of us? Will anyone still want to join our Hundred Rivers Pavilion?"
Qiao Feng was speechless.
"It seems I've been living a rather comfortable life in seclusion these past few years, and I've almost forgotten these unwritten rules of the martial arts world."
As he spoke, he straightened up, his eyes flashing with a fierce aura, as if the once spirited Chief Qiao had returned.
"In that case, let's head over to the Golden Wind and Fine Rain Pavilion and the Six and a Half Hall."
The two men left the tavern in a huff, and before they had gone far, they saw Yang Wuxie and Di Feijing each leading a group of people.
Showing off one's extraordinary encounter immediately heightened vigilance.
Before she could even make a move, Di Feijing spoke up.
"Master Baichuan, please don't misunderstand. I have come here today to apologize, not to make things difficult for you."
Upon hearing this, Xiu Chuqi was puzzled, but still turned her gaze to another person.
When Yang Wuxie saw that Di Feijing spoke first, he couldn't help but curse inwardly, "Old fox."
A smile appeared on his face.
"Our Master Su sent me here today to resolve a misunderstanding with you, Master Baichuan."
"Misunderstanding?" Showing off his extraordinary encounter, he tilted his head and looked at Liufenbantang and Jinfengxiyulou, who always appeared at the same time; someone came.
"What misunderstanding?"
Yang Wuxie waved his hand, and his brothers behind him pushed out several burly men who were tied up.
"Do you know Brother Qiao, who is behind Master Baichuan, about these people?"
Upon hearing the other party mention him, Qiao Feng stepped forward, looked at the bound man, and nodded.
“Of course I know them. Not long ago, they attacked me in a small tavern with a group of people. These few are the ones who escaped after their assassination attempt failed.”
Seeing that Qiao Feng had openly recounted the attack, Yang Wuxie bowed to him apologetically.
"That's exactly why I've come."
"We at Golden Wind and Fine Rain Pavilion only learned today that although these people are in the pavilion, they are actually spies from other forces. They took advantage of the trust that the brothers in the pavilion placed in them to trick them into coming out to assassinate Brother Qiao, making everyone think that this was our pavilion master's doing."
"If I hadn't stumbled upon this matter by chance, who knows how many evil deeds they would have committed using the name of the Golden Wind and Fine Rain Pavilion."
"Originally, they should have been executed in the building, but considering that you and Master Baichuan are victims, we have decided to hand them over to you for disposal."
After hearing the whole story, Xiu Chuqi was stunned; she never expected things to develop this way.
Based on her years of gaming experience, these people's identities must be real. But what Yang Wuxie said might not be true.
She guessed that Jin Feng Xi Yu Lou had indeed sent people to attack Qiao Feng before, but now that things had been exposed and they were at a critical moment in the battle with Liu Fen Ban Tang, they did not want to cause any more trouble.
These spies just happened to come to my door, so I used them to appease them and save face for each other.
Thinking of this, her gaze towards Yang Wuxie immediately became less friendly.
However, after so many experiences, she has not made no progress whatsoever.
Suppressing her anger, she turned to look at Di Feijing and the others.
"I wonder what brings Hall Master Di Feijing here?"
Di Feijing's head was always lowered. Even though he could hear the displeasure in Xiu Chuqi's voice and Yang Wuxie had taken the initiative, he still spoke in a gentle tone.
"Who should be ashamed? Our Six and a Half Hall also had spies infiltrated. Their operation was the same as that of the Golden Wind and Drizzle Pavilion. They impersonated the orders of Hall Master Lei and brought some brothers out to offend Brother Qiao."
"Master Lei was furious when he learned of this and specifically instructed me to find out their identities. They turned out to be spies left behind by the Misty Sky Alliance in its early years."
He sighed and said, "Our Chief Lei has a close relationship with the Seven Saints of the Misty Sky Alliance, and it is impossible for him to completely clear his name. He also did not want you, True Person Baichuan, to misunderstand, so he specially sent me here to explain."
"He also specifically instructed that if Master Baichuan wants an explanation, although Hall Master Lei cannot appear in person, he can ask me to assist him. I will go with Master Baichuan to the Mitian Alliance to settle things."
Show off your amazing adventure, I understand.
So it turns out they were just trying to shift the blame.
Clearly, Qiao Feng understood Liufenbantang's plan at a glance.
He gestured with his eyes to Xiu Chuqi, implying that she shouldn't get involved.
Unfortunately, Xiuzhu's extraordinary encounters never showed any tact or understanding of others' feelings. Not to mention, she had other plans in mind.
Without hesitation, he agreed.
"OK."
"Then I'll trouble you, Hall Master Di, to stay at our Baichuan Pavilion for a while."
Yang Wuxie, who had initially agreed to the show's extraordinary encounter, felt a sense of unease, but was overjoyed when he heard her pleading with Di Feijing to stay.
With the decisive battle between Golden Wind and Fine Rain Pavilion and Six and a Half Hall imminent, if they could showcase their extraordinary encounter and restrain the expert Di Feijing, it would be entirely beneficial to Golden Wind and Fine Rain Pavilion.
Even though she simultaneously diverted the attention of the Mitian Alliance, which was quite hostile to the Six and a Half Hall.
But to be honest, the Mitian Alliance without Guan Qi is no match for the role of the talented and intelligent Di Feijing in the Six and a Half Hall.
By diverting him away, the chances of victory for the Golden Wind and Fine Rain Pavilion will increase by at least two levels.
Just as Yang Wuxie was about to take his leave and go back to inform Su Mengzhen of the good news, he heard Xiu Chu speak again.
"Since Chief Hall Master Lei has given our Baichuan Pavilion such a generous gift, it would be too inconsiderate of me not to reciprocate."
"I happen to have one hundred bottles of Na Yuan Pills left. If Master Lei needs them, I can sell them all to you. This stuff is difficult to refine, and once these one hundred bottles are sold, I'm afraid I won't be able to sell any more in the short term."
Before Di Feijing could even speak, Yang Wuxie became anxious upon hearing this.
"Didn't Master Baichuan say before that you still had many Nascent Soul Pills that you could sell?"
Showing off her extraordinary encounter, she confidently declared, "Yes, I did say that."
"That……"
Before Yang Wuxie could ask any further questions, Xiu Chuqi smiled and said, "Thanks to everyone's good fortune, I had the honor of meeting the Emperor. He was also very interested in the Na Yuan Pill. He sold most of the Na Yuan Pills to him."
Recalling the traps they had set, Yang Wuxie was speechless.
However, he was still unwilling to watch the strength of the Six and a Half Hall increase again, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and continue speaking.
"In that case, I wonder if Master Baichuan would be willing to part with his Na Yuan Pill and sell it to our Golden Wind and Fine Rain Pavilion? We are willing to purchase it at the high price of 350 gold coins per bottle."
Before he could even show off his extraordinary encounter and agree, Di Feijing spoke up: "Then thank you very much, Master Baichuan. I will have my disciples go back and fetch the silver right away. Rest assured, we will not let you suffer any loss, Master Baichuan, and we will buy it at the price of 350 gold."
Without even glancing at Yang Wuxie's almost blazing eyes, he hurriedly ordered all the disciples behind him to go back and report, to prevent the Golden Wind and Drizzle Tower from intercepting them en route.
It's unclear whether the Golden Wind and Drizzle Pavilion was too slow or the Six and a Half Hall was too powerful.
Before long, Xiu and Qiao Feng saw Lei Sun personally leading a group of men to arrive.
"Haha, Master Baichuan, we meet again."
Before you see him, you hear his voice.
Before Lei Sun could even get close, his voice came over.
Showing off his extraordinary encounter, he nodded in response.
"Did you bring the money?"
Lei Sun didn't care about her indifference at all. Upon hearing this, he simply waved his hand, and Lei Mei presented him with a box.
Lei Sun took the box, opened it himself, revealing a large stack of gold notes inside, and handed it to Xiu Chuqi.
Showing off his extraordinary encounter, he took the box and casually put it into his backpack. After confirming that the amount was correct, he handed over the entire hundred bottles of Na Yuan Dan to Lei Sun.
Seeing Lei Sun arrive in person, Yang Wuxie knew he had no hope of stopping him and was also worried that Lei Sun would take action against him. Before the transaction was completed, he took the initiative to lead his men away from the place.
He needs to go back and deliver the message as soon as possible.
After listening to Yang Wuxie's report, Su Mengzhen remained silent for a moment.
"I don't believe that someone who could immediately find a way to enter the palace and persuade the emperor to help break the deadlock after we set off the □, could not see that Liufenbantang was trying to shift the blame to the east."
After pacing around a few times, Su Mengzhen continued, "Since she already knew the intentions of the Six and a Half Hall, yet was willing to cooperate with them, and even deliberately sold all the remaining Na Yuan Pills to the Six and a Half Hall in front of you, it can only mean one thing."
Su Mengzhen chuckled softly: "She's forcing us to have a final showdown with the Six and a Half Hall as soon as possible."
Yang Wuxie was also a smart man. With Su Mengzhen's guidance, he quickly understood the intention of showing off his adventure. Seeing that Su Mengzhen was still smiling, he became a little anxious.
"Then how can you still laugh? They're blatantly waiting to reap the benefits."
Su Mengzhen's smile not only didn't fade, but became even more pronounced.
Why can't I laugh?
"Our Golden Wind and Fine Rain Pavilion and the Six and a Half Hall have been locked in a stalemate for so long, and this capital city has become boring enough. It's not necessarily a bad thing that someone can suddenly come and break this balance, forcing us to have a duel ahead of schedule."
"Besides, you need some resources to become the fisherman. Who says the clam and the crane can't turn the tables on the fisherman?"
After saying that, the smile on his face vanished, and he spoke solemnly.
"Give the order to all the brothers in the building to prepare. Tonight, we will fight the Six and a Half Hall to the death!"
"yes."
After watching the people from Jinfeng Xiyulou and Liufenbantang leave, Xiuchu Qiyu looked at Di Feijing, who was left alone, and asked curiously.
"Your Six and a Half Hall and Golden Wind and Fine Rain Pavilion are probably going to war soon, but you've been left here with me. How about it? Aren't you anxious?"
Di Feijing did not answer the question directly. Instead, he kept his head down and spoke in a gentle voice: "Master Baichuan is truly a genius. He even knows when our Six and a Half Hall and the Golden Wind and Fine Rain Pavilion will start their battle. No wonder you sold the Na Yuan Pill to us in front of Yang Wuxie just now."
"Is it to prevent Liufenbantang and Jinfeng Xiyulou from collaborating to target Baichuange?"
He laughed off the story of his unexpected encounter, resolutely refusing to admit that he was stirring up trouble: "You're overthinking it. I'm just running a small business."
"As for why we chose to sell to you six and a half parts of the hall, it's because you have more money!"
Such a perfunctory excuse would not only surprise Di Fei, but probably even fool Wang Xiaoshi.
However, since Di Feijing was not one of Baichuan Pavilion's own people, it was already a great favor that he was given an excuse to show off his extraordinary encounter, and he didn't care whether Di Feijing believed him or not.
The reason she chose to keep Di Feijing was that she thought she had sold too many Na Yuan Pills to Liu Fen Ban Tang, and she wanted to balance the strength between Liu Fen Ban Tang and Jin Feng Xi Yu Lou.
After bringing Qiao Feng and Di Feijing back to Baichuan Pavilion, the two men looked at the magnificent building in front of them, and even they, who were very knowledgeable, couldn't help but show a hint of shock.
"this……"
Qiao Feng quickened his pace, passed through the archway bearing the sign "Baichuan Pavilion," reached out and touched the building in front of him, and exclaimed in amazement, "To be able to build such a magnificent structure in just one day, truly worthy of the title 'Immortal Divine Physician'!"
"The Immortal Healer?"
Di Fei secretly memorized this information before turning to look at the mountain gate in front of him. He was equally shocked.
Is this really something that can be done by human power?
They were here just yesterday. How did Master Baichuan manage to build such a magnificent structure in such a short time? Even if tens of thousands of people worked on it at the same time, how could he have built these houses in just one day?
How were these mountain peaks, hidden in the forest mist, moved here?
Could it be that she really has the ability to move mountains and overturn seas?
Di Fei's gaze towards the person who had just shared their extraordinary encounter changed.
"What...what's going on?"
A slightly trembling voice sounded from behind.
Showing off his extraordinary encounter, he looked back and found that Wang Xiaoshi and Bai Choufei had returned with more than a dozen martial arts masters.
Wang Xiaoshi stared in shock at the mountain gate before him, then quickly walked over to Xiu Chuqi's side: "Did you do all of this?"
"How did you manage to conjure up a celestial abode in just one day?"
Bai Choufei, who was a few steps behind, was just as shocked as the other martial artists who had decided to join Baichuan Pavilion.
Unlike Di Feijing, who was feeling shocked, they also felt a strong sense of relief.
Such extraordinary methods—if they hadn't taken advantage of the Baichuan Pavilion's early days, they probably wouldn't have been qualified to join at all. Thinking of those others who refused Baichuan Pavilion's offers because they were wary of Liufenbantang and Jinfeng Xiyulou...
A sense of schadenfreude once again surfaced in the hearts of the people present.
"You still dare to laugh at me for being desperate? I bet after today, you won't even be qualified to join the Hundred Rivers Pavilion."
Watching his reputation soar, he showed off his serendipitous encounter and nodded in satisfaction.
It was worth it for her to specifically choose the most visually striking homestead blueprint. Luckily, she'd played JX3 for a long time and had diligently farmed enough Zixing Points and Homestead Coins. Otherwise, such a grand blueprint wouldn't have been able to load completely if she didn't have enough furniture and Homestead Coins.
After settling Di Feijing and the others who had joined Baichuan Pavilion, and showing off his extraordinary encounter, he discussed the decisive battle between Jinfeng Xiyu Tower and Liufenban Hall with Qiao Feng, Wang Xiaoshi, and Bai Choufei.
"No wonder you insisted on selling the Na Yuan Dan to Liu Fen Ban Tang in front of Yang Wuxie today."
Qiao Feng suddenly realized and said, "If we hadn't given them that push, once the news spreads tomorrow, even if the Six and a Half Hall and the Golden Wind and Fine Rain Pavilion are completely at odds, they would have put aside all their prejudices and joined forces to deal with us."
Bai Choufei nodded in agreement after hearing the whole story.
"The news that Golden Wind and Drizzle Pavilion and Six and a Half Hall are about to have a decisive battle has spread like wildfire, and the brothers below have already started fighting. Even if they are wary of our Hundred Rivers Pavilion, this battle is unavoidable now."
"It was still a bit risky. If we had known you had this ability, we should have waited a few days to bide our time and let them finish their fight before we started recruiting."
"It's not like you need to take such a risky step."
“That’s not how it works,” Wang Xiaoshi said. “How can you achieve anything without taking risks?”
"It may sound a bit reckless for us to establish Baichuan Pavilion at this critical juncture, but as long as we get through this, we can better demonstrate the strength of Baichuan Pavilion."
"There are so many martial arts figures in the capital, yet none of them have randomly chosen to join a small gang. Isn't it precisely for that sense of security?"
Wang Xiaoshi's words resonated deeply with the audience's desire to share their extraordinary experiences.
Players, if you're going to build a faction, you can't hesitate. Since this is a gameplay mechanic, you should do your best. If you can't even handle a few NPC factions, what's the point of creating a faction? You might as well go home and farm and raise fish.
Moreover, there was a hidden worry in his heart when he showed off his extraordinary encounter.
She earned thirty-four bricks just from selling Na Yuan Dan during this stage.
Keep in mind that her cost is less than two bricks, this is simply outrageous profit!
No need to even think about it, the developers will definitely fix this bug by 6:30 tomorrow morning. It's a rare opportunity to show off this amazing encounter, and I don't want to let it slip away.
That's why she tried to indirectly force Jin Feng Xi Yu Lou and Liu Fen Ban Tang to have a decisive battle as soon as possible.
Completing the main quest will allow her to finish the game sooner, giving her time to enter other dungeons and potentially make some more money before the developers fix the bug.
Thinking of this, Xiu Chuqi turned around and looked at Qiao Feng.
"By the way, I think I'll be leaving the capital for a while. Are you coming with me or staying here for now?"
Close friends and chivalrous knights are different.
They did not come here as part of a group hired by Showful Adventure. Unless Showful Adventure actively sends them back, even if she leaves herself, her confidants will not return to their original world together.
Therefore, it seems that Qiao Feng can stay here for a while longer.
"If you choose to stay here, write to me when you want to leave later, and I will send you back."
Qiao Feng was stunned.
He has been living in seclusion in the martial arts world for three years, and has indeed spent a relatively peaceful time there.
But as time goes by, it inevitably feels a bit mundane.
However, his identity is indeed unsuitable for him to enter the Central Plains martial arts world again.
Just then, a strange encounter summoned him, and since his parents were still in relatively good health, he answered the call of the strange encounter without hesitation.
He thought about it and still refused the suggestion to leave immediately.
"In that case, I'll stay here a little longer."
Showing off his extraordinary encounter, he nodded.
Seeing that she had finished talking with Qiao Feng, Wang Xiaoshi hurriedly asked, "Why are you leaving so soon?"
"Where are you going? Can't you stay in the capital a little longer?"
Bai Choufei also tried to persuade him to stay, saying, "Yes, our Baichuan Pavilion has only been established for two days. Why are you leaving already?"
When Xiu saw them looking at each other with an expression of utter despair, he couldn't help but chuckle.
"Don't be like this, it's not like I'm never coming back. I just have some things to take care of, so I'm leaving for a while."
"I'll be back once I've finished dealing with this."
"And we won't leave immediately. We'll wait until the decisive battle between Liufenbantang and Jinfeng Xiyulou is over before we leave."
He then patted Wang Xiaoshi and Bai Choufei on the shoulder: "Since you've agreed to create Baichuan Pavilion together, you two have to work hard."
"I'll leave some things behind before I leave. Make good use of them. When I return, you'd better see our Baichuan Pavilion become the number one gang in the capital."
Don't worry!
Wang Xiaoshi was immediately filled with confidence: "You've left so much behind, and with Brother Qiao's help, I don't believe we can't compete with other forces."
Bai Choufei was also full of confidence.
"When you return, our Baichuan Pavilion will surely become famous throughout the capital and become the most powerful force in the city."
