Chapter 2312 Two Road Traffickers(1/2)
The location of Linglong Market is open to fixed, and when it is not open, there will be no monks from Qizhen Pavilion who will be guarded specifically. Thirty days a month also means that more than half of the time other practitioners are allowed to come in.
It is noon now, and there are about eight hours left before the market opens after dark. However, when Wang Lun came over, his spiritual sense had sensed that four or five monks were patrolling the four corners of the market. Obviously, these people were monks from Qizhen Pavilion.
This is also easy to understand. The market is about to open. Before a large number of monks pour in, Qizhen Pavilion must check it out first.
The closer the opening time is, the more monks patrolling Qizhen Pavilion will only be in order to search every corner of the market and prevent anyone from secretly setting up dark means.
Of course, this kind of thing will only happen half a day before the opening day.
Practitioners who have participated in market activities know this, so they will not come here in advance, but will only come after the market is opened.
When Wang Lun came here, his spiritual sense only sensed the monks patrolling Qizhen Pavilion, but not other cultivators.
"Let's go in and take a look at it in the evening." Wang Lun had no intention of going in and checking.
As far as he knows, Hou Xiaowu, nicknamed Yahou, will definitely appear in Linglong Market at night.
There is a good reason for this judgment. Hou Xiaowu is a middle- and low-level figure in Qizhen Pavilion and has a certain status, but that is only with the outer disciples of Qizhen Pavilion. According to Wang Lun's understanding, Hou Xiaowu's status in Qizhen Pavilion is lower than that of Niu Feng who was killed by him.
Niu Feng is a deacon in the outer sect, but after all, he has a relatively high status master Dai Lin, so he gained money and had a strong connection in the outer sect and was more able to speak.
Although Hou Xiaowu also used his ability to do things, the monkey spirit and monkey spirit were able to get along well in the outer door of Qizhen Pavilion and probably knew more people than Niu Feng, but his connections were actually not as good as Niu Feng. After all, Hou Xiaowu was not accepted as a disciple by the elders of Qizhen Pavilion, which means he was not well-off. Even though he was in a "deacon", his status was still not very high.
Since his status is not high, Hou Xiaowu must also think about improving his status, but his cultivation is limited and his talent is not good. To improve his status requires support from noble people, so flattery is indispensable, and flattery is definitely not good, and he has to "pay tribute" to those with high status.
Wang Lun did not know from the Forbidden Sword General that Hou Xiaowu would appear in Linglong Market. Such details were not mastered by the Forbidden Sword General. Wang Lun guessed it based on his own experience.
Since you want to "pay tribute", you must have something decent to take action. No matter how easy Hou Xiaowu takes advantage of his tricks, he will never be able to deceive the cultivation items with just a mouth. People like this will definitely not miss the opportunity to speculate, such as the opportunity in Linglong Market.
This kind of market is all sold, that is, the monks of Qizhen Pavilion have the final say. Hou Xiaowu can get things that Qizhen Pavilion does not need, first hoard them, and then sell them to other cultivators in this kind of market in exchange for items that Qizhen Pavilion monks need.
Wang Lun thought that if he was Hou Xiaowu, he would definitely do this.
First collect unnecessary items in Qizhen Pavilion, and then trade them for needed items. Many monks disdain to do this, thinking that the profit is thin and a waste of time. However, for Hou Xiaowu, a monk who knows that he will not achieve great achievements in the path of cultivation and is not focused on asceticism, would rather invest more time in it to earn what he wants.
Wang Lun judged that Hou Xiaowu would participate today and his target was also aimed at the other party.
The monks in Qizhen Pavilion will mask and may disguise themselves to hide their identities, so he needs to identify them at night before selecting the other party.
Wang Lun also thought about what to do. At this moment, he retreated dozens of miles, found a quiet place, and disguised himself as a little bit of skinny middle-aged man, with his eyes a little straight and not very energetic.
This appearance is very different from his true appearance. In addition, he can control his voice at will. No one who deals with him in Linglong Black Market will see his identity.
After disguising himself, Wang Lun began to rest. He did not meditate and practice, but simply rested and restored his physical strength.
This is not even considered accumulating energy. Wang Lun was in a very tired state for half a year, which was several times worse than Ya's health. Now he has only been out of the Time and Space City for a few days and has not had enough rest. Although it takes several days to sleep continuously for a full rest, it is also good to have five or six hours to close his eyes and rest, and his physical strength will be restored.
At this moment, while Wang Lun was resting peacefully, Changsun Wuyang was focusing on a special bucket in front of him in the secret room of the family.
The bucket is made of jade. There are very sticky things inside at this moment, but it is not like paste, but it is composed of small particles. The particles are several times smaller than sand and are colorless. Changsun Wuyang stretches out his hands and bends over and stirs his hands in the bucket, which is very fast.
This kind of stirring cannot use mana. Once the mana is used, the viscous material inside will change its properties, and it depends entirely on his physical strength to support extremely fast stirring.
Soon, Changsun Wuyang became so tired that he was sweating profusely.
When he was taking a short rest and adjusting, Changsun Wuyang pulled his hands out of the sticky material. The belly of the ten fingers was red, and the skin on it was worn off a lot.
These skins are not mixed into the material.
Because of Changsun Wuyang's high-speed stirring and violent friction, the temperature inside the material is surprisingly high. After all, these peeling skins are not as reliable as Changsun Wuyang's hands. After all, the hands will still come into contact with air when exercising, which will cool down. In the viscous material, the viscous material is particles. The violent friction between each other causes the internal temperature to become higher and higher, and these peels are directly vaporized by the high temperature!
As for the sweat dripping from Changsun Wuyang, it was naturally even more unexpected. The skin that had fallen off was evaporated before it was clean.
Even the jade bucket has a very high temperature and a hot surface.
This is a special jade. If you use an ordinary wooden barrel, the base of the wooden barrel is now charred and perforated.
Changsun Wuyang was very tired, but he only made a brief adjustment and continued to work.
On the one hand, the viscous material needs to be stirred successfully in one go, and cannot stay in the middle for too long. Otherwise, as the temperature drops, the viscous material will change to the particle state again.
On the other hand, Changsun Wuyang also felt that he was very motivated to do this and did not feel that he needed to stop and rest.
This is helping the king
Lun, he was very happy to do this. Wang Lun also helped the Changsun family a lot, and his life was saved by Wang Lun. At this moment, he also wanted to help Wang Lun imitate the Stone of Breaking the Sky as soon as possible to save Wang Lun time.
He also understood the following steps. When the materials were stirred to the point where they were qualified, they added special pigments and solidification materials to shape and make a rough blank.
After the rough blank is finished, it is carved.
It is necessary to draw the texture below the surface of the thick blank. This step is the key. If you are not careful, the texture will be deviated and there will be no mysterious effect.
Even if this step is completed, baking is still needed.
It is impossible to use mana when baking, and flame must be used. The control of the heat is very important. After the heat is over, the counterfeits will become very hard. When Wang Lun needs to cut and polish, the counterfeits will become prone to fragmentation. If the heat is not enough, it is not possible to stop and then bake again. Insufficient heat will also lead to the counterfeits being too soft and not easy to fix the shape, and the degree of counterfeits will not be too high. After all, if someone takes the counterfeits in his hands, the touch is wrong. If it is too soft, you can directly find that this is a counterfeit.
In short, the drawing of patterns and the control of heat are two key points.
Changsun Wuyang was not confident that he could succeed within three or five times, and was prepared for several attempts.
Fortunately, the materials are sufficient and there is no need for QQ Soulu, so you can try it boldly.
...
While Wang Lun and Changsun Wuyang were busy, Hou Xiaowu, nicknamed "Yellow Monkey", was also busy in the Qizhen Pavilion General Pavilion.
He has a deacon position in the outer door, but he has little money to be responsible for, and it is a bit thankless. He is responsible for cleaning the outer door, which means keeping the outer door in a clean and tidy environment. Although he doesn't have to clean it himself and is very free, he doesn't have much real power, and he doesn't have much money.
After all, even if there are no unnecessary cultivation items in the outer sect of Qizhen Pavilion, they will not throw them away as garbage, and they will trade them out. Even if they are sold as scrap, it is much more cost-effective than throwing them away as garbage. Therefore, there are almost no useful things found in the garbage produced in all parts of the outer sect every day.
He couldn't expect a group of subordinates to be able to take out good things and hand them over to him when they packed up the garbage.
There is no good thing to make, but he needs some good things to "respect" some people, and he must use other means to gain benefits.
So he only regards the deacon’s responsibility as part of his life. In addition to practicing, he spends more time lying around. At this moment, he is sorting out things in a corner of his cave.
When he usually gets items that he finds useful, he will put them in his own cultivation cave. Other people's caves are used for cultivation, but he has expanded the cave some, only one-third of the area is used for cultivation and living, and other spaces are reserved for storage.
After all, the storage ring is limited and the internal storage space is very small. Some not particularly important cultivation items need a large place to store.
Now he has put the two storage rings and eight storage bags aside, and used these storage magic weapons to store what he needed to attend Linglong Market tonight.
There are fragments of top-grade magic weapons, and the fragments also contain some spiritual power, which are needed by some weapon refiners. The weapon refiners can use them as materials for refining a certain magic weapon.
There is a broken sword score, and the one recorded on it is not a sword move, so there is no need to worry about being obsessed with incomplete sword moves. The one above is an experience of how to use sword skills. This is a very good item for some sword cultivators below the Killing Realm.
There are monsters' inner elixirs and many spiritual medicines. These are the ones he finally replaced by participating in sect tasks and reselling them at low prices and high prices. Moreover, he is the latter. When such a second-hand dealer is very hard, the difference in the profit is not very large. The benefits obtained by reselling once cannot even reach the eye of the magic cultivator. However, after several resellings, he was equivalent to trading upward layer by layer with the initial items. The grades of spiritual medicines, inner elixirs or elixirs he exchanged for are not bad.
Of course, this method is time-consuming, and requires vision and broad popularity. Both of them are indispensable. People with stronger abilities than him do not look down on this and think that they are wasting time in cultivation. People with weaker abilities than him cannot be as successful as him. Therefore, he is very successful in the ordinary level of Qizhen Pavilion. Although the cultivation items obtained by the second peddler after working over and over again may not even be able to see the magical eyes of the Nascent Soul Cultivator, it is very useful to him.
He only has the strength to be in the early stage of the Jiedan Realm. In the future, it is estimated that his cultivation level is the strongest and he can only reach the middle stage of the Jiedan Realm. It is very difficult to become an elder in the outer sect of Qizhen Pavilion, so he needs to keep giving good things to the top.
The identified superiors will not make any mistakes. These superiors will definitely help him gradually gain the power of the outer sect in the future. If he succeeds in becoming an elder in the future, he will naturally have the means to turn his power into visible and tangible benefits.
But that is the future. At least now, he needs to bring out real good things to pay tribute.
The things he got from being a second-hand dealer were not in the eyes of several superiors, but he also needed Taobao-style means to constantly exchange them upwards. Even if he could use fifty items placed on the table to exchange for a treasure that made his superiors smile, it was worth it.
Today's Linglong Market is about to open again. As before, he only hopes to use the existing things, there may be twenty or thirty items to exchange for a scarce item.
Usually he would not wander around Linglong Market and trade another item with one item, but instead used the "Shut-Ha" method to exchange for items with much higher levels. He did not ask for more, even one item would be fine.
Soon, everything was put into the storage ring and storage bag, and Hou Xiaowu began to carefully hide the things he had taken out of the storage magic weapon.
"We still have to find a way to get another storage ring, otherwise there will be too little storage space."
Hou Xiaowu told himself that after he stuffed the storage space that he had prepared to trade tonight, he could not stuff the few things he had stored before.
It is because this is the headquarters of Qizhen Pavilion, and these good things he values are placed in his cultivation cave, so he is not afraid of being stolen. Otherwise, he would have bought another storage ring.
However, the storage ring will definitely be used in the future, so he must make this plan.
It was still some time before dark. After closing the cave, he strolled to the southwest corner of the outer door of Qizhen Pavilion.
This is one of the unified storage points for garbage in the outer door. There are three storage points like this in the outer door. The collected garbage will be concentrated in these three places first, and then pulled by the tamed fire thunder horse.
The huge carriage threw the garbage into the carriage without a roof and took it outside the Qizhen Pavilion for incineration.
As soon as he arrived, the busy few people stopped their work and bowed to him.
"Okay, hurry up and work!"
Hou Xiaowu shouted loudly, seemingly not caring about these false etiquettes, but in fact, this etiquette is what he requires. Only when facing these lower status than him can he be a big shot, direct others to do this and that, and watch others respect him.
This will make him forget that he often flatters others and says something flattering in front of others.
"Is there anything useful in this pile of things?" Hou Xiaowu asked his subordinates.
After receiving the negative answer, Hou Xiaowu was not disappointed. He came over and had to check it out every day.
Leaving here, he strolled to two other places where garbage was stored. After checking, Hou Xiaowu walked straight to the mansion of the elder Kong Xinghui, the outer gate.
Elder Kong was one of the objects he had curled with. He had a bad background and did not have a powerful master. He had to find a backer in the outer sect and find someone who could support him in time. He was able to curry favor with three outer sect elders at the same time, so that these three people did not dislike him. It was only after many just-in-one performances.
These three people are the key to whether he can become an elder in the future. Therefore, as long as he gets the right thing, he usually won't keep it, and will respect him to the other party. In this way of tribute, he will become the "personal people" of the three elders.
Being able to become a deacon is thanks to the strong recommendation of these three elders at that time. Otherwise, he was in the late stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm, so how could he defeat several people with similar cultivation levels but much better background than him?
Elder Kong is not practicing in the practice cave today. Every day when Linglong Market is opened, Elder Kong will be responsible for the safety of the market that day. When it is opened, he will definitely be in the market. Now there are still a few hours left. Elder Kong is enjoying it in the house and will wait for darkness.
Hou Xiaowu arrived at the other party’s mansion and informed the housekeeper, and successfully met the other party in the yard.
"Elder Kong is drinking tea. My subordinates got a pack of spiritual tea a few days ago. It is well preserved. I heard that the taste is similar to that of Xixi spiritual tea. Elder Kong is a tea lover. He dared to ask the elders for advice, how about this kind of spiritual tea?"
