Chapter 1430
"I … can give Fellow Daoist Xiao more spirit stones!"
Xue Xue saw that Xiao Hua's tone was slightly relaxed and immediately said, "How much does Fellow Daoist Xiao think is appropriate?"
"How … How can Fellow Daoist Xue say that I'm that unscrupulous?" Xiao Hua quickly waved his hand and said, "Fellow Daoist Xiao only needs to give I the same price as before!"
"Really?" Xue Xue was a bit in disbelief.
"Of course!" Xiao Hua smiled and extended his hand, "Fellow Daoist Xue, give Fellow Daoist I the spirit stones first!"
"Okay!"
Xue Xue wasn't afraid that Xiao Hua would go back on his word. She patted her storage pouch and took out the high grade spirit stones. Xiao Hua didn't hold back and put them all into his storage pouch with a flick of his sleeve. Then, he gave half of the Qing Yi Pill to Xue Xue.
After putting the Qing Yi Pill into the storage pouch, Xue Xue let out a sigh of relief. She handed over the auction invitation and her own communication talisman and said, "The auction will begin at noon the day after tomorrow. It will be held in Yanyuan City's Treasure Auction Pavilion. If Fellow Daoist can't find the place, you can send a message to me. I will come and find Fellow Daoist to go together!"
Xiao Hua took it and smiled, "Thank you Fellow Daoist Xue. However, I'll ask one more question. Can this invitation only allow one person to participate?"
"Of course … not!"
Xue Xue blinked and said, "Each invitation can bring one person. Fellow Daoist Xiao can rest assured!"
"Hehe, that's good. I have a Fellow Daoist with me. If I go alone, I'm afraid it won't be appropriate!"
"Fellow Daoist?"
Xue Xue's black eyes looked at Xiao Hua thoughtfully and smiled, "Could it be Fellow Daoist Xiao's dual cultivation partner?"
Xiao Hua's face was very awkward. After all, they weren't the only two people on the street. Xiao Hua saw that there was no one around so he gave the Essence Cleansing Pill to Xue Xue. At this time, there were already people passing by them. Xue Xue's voice was also loud, so a few cultivators looked at Xiao Hua curiously.
"Fellow Daoist Xue, don't tease I." Xiao Hua scratched his head and said, "With I's cultivation, who would be willing to dual cultivate with I?"
"Hehe, you're right!" Xue Xue said proudly, "Do you want me to introduce you to a few fellow daoists from the Immortal Beauty Sect?"
"This … I still have some mundane matters to attend to, so I'll take my leave now. Fellow Daoist Xue, I'll see you at the Treasure Auction Pavilion the day after tomorrow!"
Xiao Hua saw that Xue Xue's words were somewhat unreliable. He didn't know Xue Xue's background, so he didn't dare to pester her too much. He hurriedly cupped his hands and took his leave.
Xue Xue saw Xiao Hua quickly leave, but because she didn't chase after him, she only thoughtfully looked at Xiao Hua's back. When he disappeared, she pursed her lips into a smile and walked in another direction. Just as Xue Xue turned around, her eyes nonchalantly looked at a nearby store that sold yellow talismans. Outside the store, there were several cultivators with their heads lowered as they chose yellow talismans.
When Xue Xue's figure also disappeared, the cultivators picked up the yellow talismans they had already chosen. One of them hurriedly walked towards the Elixir School's shop, while the others hurriedly chased after Xiao Hua.
"En, so he really isn't on the same side as Xue Xue!"
In the Elixir School's shop, Shopkeeper Liu was listening to the report of the person who just returned. He said in a low voice, "Also … this guy actually gave half of the Marrow Cleansing Pills to Xue Xue. Could it be that he already knew Xue Xue's background?"
"Or perhaps, this guy is here for Xue Xue?
And not … related to our Elixir School's matter? "
"Sigh, if that's really the case, wouldn't these pills be a bit of a waste?
If we can bring them to the auction, we should be able to get more spirit stones! "
"En, you may leave. Let the disciples keep an eye on him for a while longer. It might be that guy's trick!"
Shopkeeper Liu waved his hand and dismissed the disciple. He sat down, picked up a teacup, and took a sip. His brows were tightly furrowed as he looked at the beautiful scenery outside the window. He sighed and said, "This Xiao Hua is also a loose cultivator. Could it be related to Martial Uncle Bian's death?
Sect Master took out so many pills, is he trying to lure out the murderer?
Or does he have other plans?
Could it be … those rumors … are true?
If so … won't the Cultivation World … undergo a great change? "
"Sigh, I don't have much time left. Why should I think so much?
This change … I'm afraid it will only happen after I die!
Sect Master is thinking for the Elixir School, but I don't need to, right? "
Shopkeeper Liu said leisurely. He took out a Heart Intoxicating Fruit from the jade plate and put it into his mouth. In a moment, his face was flushed, and he squinted his eyes slightly. He seemed to be enjoying it very much!
Xiao Hua didn't know that he had really been targeted by the disciples of the Elixir School and had caused another trouble. He left in a hurry. When he was far away, he saw that Xue Xue hadn't caught up with him. He couldn't help but wipe the non-existent sweat from his forehead and muttered, "Why is there such a big difference between female cultivators?
Cai Zhuoxia, Xue Xue, and the disciples of the Immortal Beauty School … why are they so different?
Heh heh, if Cai Zhuoxia was as forthright as Xue Xue, she would have chased him all the way to the Utopia Faction, right? "
Xiao Hua thought as he strolled around Yanyuan City happily. This time, he was able to get so many Qing Yi Pills and Clean Lotus Pills from the shop of the Elixir School. It was really beyond his expectations. Now that he thought about it, it was like a dream. Yes, the pills he had been looking for for a long time were actually solved with only 87 pieces of high-grade Spirit Stones!
It was even more convenient than the Yi Ji of the Wind Station!
"The heavens do as I wish!" Xiao Hua rubbed his nose and said to himself, "When did this poor Daoist's moral standing become so good?
Could it be that … the Heavens just gave I a chance to enter the Huanhua Sect? "
The streets of Yanyuan City were extremely wide. Ten flying carriages like the one pulled by the Flying Feather Beasts could walk side by side. The shops on both sides of the street were also different from those in Jingbo City. There were many pavilions with more than five floors. Xiao Hua walked around for a while and saw a shop in front of him with the words "Fu Family's Talisman" written on it. Thinking that the Earth Escape Talisman in his space had long been used up, and the talisman paper and talisman ink for making yellow talismans had also been used up, Xiao Hua lifted his leg and walked in.
Not far behind him, the few disciples of the Elixir School who had been tailing him passed by the entrance of the Fu Family's Talisman as if nothing had happened. They didn't even look into the shop.
After the disciples had left, Xiao Hua's figure jumped out of the shop again. He looked around and thought to himself, "Eh?
Could it be that I was overthinking?
It seems … very normal! "
Then Xiao Hua walked in again. Not far away, the disciples of the Elixir School spread out again and watched the Fu Family's Talisman closely.
Xiao Hua was just being cautious. How could he be a match for the specially trained disciples of the Elixir School?
The interior of the Fu Family's shop was similar to that of the Elixir School's shop. Behind the various restrictions on the walls, high-grade yellow talismans could be seen at a glance. At the bottom of the walls, mid-grade yellow talismans were arranged neatly according to the categories of defense and attack. On the left hand side, there was a huge jade shelf. All kinds of talisman crafting materials were arranged neatly according to their categories.
There weren't many shop assistants in the shop, but there were many cultivators who came to visit. Xiao Hua first entered the shop, then left. When he entered the shop again, there really weren't any shop assistants who came to greet him.
Xiao Hua stood for a moment and was looking around. A shop assistant saw him and said with a smile, "Fellow Daoist, please feel free to look around first. When I'm done, I'll come over to greet you!"
"Haha, got it. I'll take a look around first!" Xiao Hua cupped his hands and walked around casually in the shop.
After this period of cultivation, Xiao Hua's talisman crafting technique had greatly improved. Not to mention Fireball Talismans, he could also successfully craft Icicle Talismans and Confinement Talismans. Of course, he didn't need to let others see his talisman crafting technique anymore. These yellow talismans weren't drawn with talisman brushes.
"Huh? What's this?"
Xiao Hua walked to a corner of the wall and saw a silk cloth about a foot long casually tossed there. There were some words on it.
Most of the words were covered, and only a few words were exposed. It read "… Talisman crafting … Disciple … Third layer of Aura Refining …"
"Could it be … talisman crafting technique?"
Xiao Hua's heart skipped a beat. Just as he was about to take a closer look, the shop assistant who greeted him just now walked over and cupped his hands. "Fellow Daoist, have you picked a yellow talisman that you like?"
When Xiao Hua heard this, he pointed at it and asked, "What's this?"
"This?"
The shop assistant looked at what Xiao Hua was pointing at and said with a smile, "This is a notice that our Fu Family is recruiting talisman crafting disciples!"
"A notice?
Can I take a look? "Xiao Hua asked.
"Of course!
Fellow Daoist, please … "As the shop assistant spoke, he picked up the silk cloth and handed it to Xiao Hua. He then said," This notice has been hanging outside my humble shop for a long time, but I couldn't find a suitable disciple. So, I stopped hanging it for the past few days and threw it here! "
Xiao Hua took it and carefully looked at it. He saw the following words written on it: "The Fu Family, a talisman crafting clan, is recruiting talisman crafting disciples. Must have a cultivation level of at least the third layer of Aura Refining and can craft simple low-grade yellow talismans. If you don't have a foundation in talisman crafting, you must have a cultivation level of at least the fifth layer of Aura Refining … If you have outstanding aptitude and can craft high-grade yellow talismans, you can join our Fu Family and become a core disciple. You also have the opportunity to become a guest elder of the Fu Family …"
"Huh?
Your Fu Family … How did you recruit disciples from outside?
Could it be that … the Fu Family doesn't have enough disciples? "Xiao Hua asked curiously.
"Fellow Daoist … Do you know how to craft talismans?
Do you also want to join our Fu Family? "
The shop assistant looked at Xiao Hua's cultivation level and didn't answer his question. Instead, he said, "If Fellow Daoist knows how to craft talismans and is also a loose cultivator, our Fu Family would be the best choice!"
Xiao Hua's heart skipped a beat. He smiled and said, "I might be a loose cultivator, but … I'm afraid that … it wouldn't be appropriate for me to join the Fu Family for no reason!"
The shop assistant smiled and took the silk cloth out. It was obvious that he was going to hang the notice of recruiting talisman crafting disciples outside.
Not long after, he returned and said, "Fellow Daoist, you might not know this, but crafting talismans is different from cultivating.
Our Fu Family's disciples with the surname Fu all know how to craft ordinary talismans. However, crafting high-grade yellow talismans requires talent and skill. Many disciples with the surname Fu are unable to master the crafting method of high-grade yellow talismans. Therefore, every few years, our Fu Family will recruit some talented disciples from outside the family. These disciples can cultivate while crafting yellow talismans. Our Fu Family will also select the most outstanding disciples from these disciples and recruit them as core disciples … to cultivate our Fu Family's inherited cultivation method … "
