"Elder Kong, I have something I want to ask the elders to ask them to listen to me and make a decision."

After saying hello, Hou Xiaowu was able to sit down opposite the other party in Elder Kong's yard. However, he was good at observing his expression and had long seen that the other party was a little cold towards him.

He also knew the reason.

I had begged the other party before and asked the other party to help him when he was competing for the new deacon position, but I never offered a top-grade magic weapon for defense or flight, or a top-grade magic weapon. Today he came empty-handed again, and the other party must have an objection to him.

Not to mention that now he begged the other party to do his job for him, he probably must be very unhappy.

"You talk first."

Sure enough, Elder Kong's attitude was obviously cold, and he just said three words lukewarmly, picked up the teacup and looked at him.

Hou Xiaowu smiled awkwardly, but did not explain why he could not deliver the treasures needed by the other party for a long time. Hou Xiaowu knew very well that he must not say the reason, nor could he be the other party promised that he would present the treasures next time. Doing so would only make the other party feel that he was fooling.

So even if he felt embarrassed at this moment, he could only avoid talking about this matter and instead talk about the purpose of his visit today.

After brewing for a moment, Hou Xiaowu said in a sincere tone: "Elder Kong, I went to Linglong Market last time and met a monk. He wanted a space spirit blade or fragments of the space spirit blade. Don't our Qizhen Pavilion treasure a space spirit blade? I want to go and take a look, but as I am, I can't enter the treasure building at all, so I want to support Elder Kong's relationship and let me go to the treasure building to witness the style of the space spirit blade."

There is a reason why I don’t look for other backers.

After all, no matter how it is, he does not owe other backers magic weapons, so it is definitely more appropriate to find those people.

However, the network of relationships between those backers is basically in the outer door, and only Elder Kong has the most contact with the inner door. The treasure building must be in the inner door and is closed all year round. Ordinary elders of the outer door cannot enter, so finding Elder Kong with a wider network of relationships is the only way.

"You are looking for me for this?" Elder Kong frowned directly.

Hou Xiaowu quickly stood up and bowed: "Elder Kong's help to me is unforgettable. Please ask Elder Kong to continue to help me."

"Then you should know that the Space Spirit Blade is definitely a precious treasure of this sect and it is impossible to trade it to outsiders." Elder Kong's face did not change, and it was clearly telling Hou Xiaowu that he was a little unhappy now, but he still talked about the serious matter with Hou Xiaowu.

Hou Xiaowu also understood that the other party had any objections to him, but he would not break up.

As for whether the other party will try his best to help, it is also very obvious.

But he could only try his best.

"Yes, I know that the Space Spirit Blade will not trade, so I just want to see the true appearance of the Space Spirit Blade." Hou Xiaowu said something in his chapter.

Elder Kong understood immediately: "I don't care whether you can imitate successful counterfeits for now. That's your business. I can go and ask the people in the treasure building, but the space spirit blade is not necessarily placed in the treasure building."

"As long as Elder Kong can help, Hou will be grateful." Hou Xiaowu hurriedly bowed again.

He could only find an excuse to imitate the space spirit blade. If he told Elder Kong directly that he would incite Qizhen Pavilion to trade the space spirit blade, Elder Kong would definitely refuse to help.

turn up

After taking this excuse, at least through Elder Kong, you can first determine whether the space spirit blade is in the treasure building.

After a few greetings with Elder Kong, after drinking tea, Hou Xiaowu smiled and said goodbye. Before leaving, he had a good attitude, after all, he had something to ask for.

Elder Kong agreed to him that he would go and ask questions in the past two days.

Hou Xiaowu did not return to his residence, but entered the inner door and found an acquaintance of his own, the friend who participated in the auction of Qizhen Pavilion. The other party was a monk and a trader, and he knew more about the items traded and purchased by Qizhen Pavilion.

He asked the other party about the situation and learned about the several materials needed, which can be purchased in some parts of Qizhen Pavilion.

These materials are exactly what is necessary to imitate the space spirit blade. If he can replace the pillars in the future, imitation products must be available, which is what he needs to prepare now.

The next night, just as he thought, the "Zhengren Wang" took the initiative to contact him with a message to the jade slip.

This time the other party also asked him about his progress, and then he was stuck in the time of his mission: he had to determine where the space spirit blade was placed within three days. He had to make the space spirit blade out within twenty days.

This has set a deadline for him.

So after answering the call, Hou Xiaowu felt even more gloomy.

But on the third day, Elder Kong brought him a bad news!

There is no treasured space spirit blade in the treasure building!

The space spirit blade is hidden in the secret placement point of Qizhen Pavilion!

There are several secret placement points in Qizhen Pavilion, and even an outer sect elder like Elder Kong is not aware of it, so Hou Xiaowu himself is even more unaware of it.

As for asking Elder Kong to help him investigate, it is simply unrealistic, and the other party will definitely not do so.

Hou Xiaowu felt that he was in a bad mood. He gritted his teeth and asked Elder Kong whether the news he learned was true. After receiving a positive answer, he kept sighing in his heart.

After returning to his residence, Hou Xiaowu immediately took the initiative to contact the "Zhengren Wang" and informed him of the latest situation.

The response he got was that the other party asked him to do whatever he wanted, anyway, he would see the space spirit blade appear in front of the other party within half a month!

He stuffed the jade slip back into the storage ring. Hou Xiaowu was so angry that he cursed at the air. After scolding "Zhengren Wang", he sighed again with a frown.

This new task is extremely difficult, and it is impossible to complete the first step of the task!

The space spirit blade is hidden in a secret placement point. That kind of place is where Qizhen Pavilion places a very small number of treasures. Only some senior officials of Qizhen Pavilion know the specific location.

He was a deacon from the outer door, and he could not talk to the senior management even though he had enough contact, let alone know where the secret placement was from the senior management!

"What should I do? This is to force me into a dead end!"

"I'll try it again. If I don't have it, I can only use that move!"

Hou Xiaowu spoke out fiercely, and this time his fantasy of completing the task had been reduced to the extreme. If it weren't for the fact that he could not use that move without any necessity, how could he endure his anger and want to continue trying it again?

After resting for a night, Xiao Wu entered the inner door the next day and started his visit.

Whenever I visit a powerful person, Hou Xiaowu will greet the other party for a short time, and then bring the topic to the current Qizhen Pavilion

The new popular figures.

Every few years, there are people who become famous. In addition to the genius disciples, there are also some people who already hold positions in the Qizhen Pavilion. Hou Xiaowu discussed the latter with him.

For example, an elder of the inner sect completed an important task for Qizhen Pavilion, and his status was directly improved by a large margin.

For example, a deputy sect leader stood out and performed very prominently among the several deputy sect leaders, and officially entered the discussion of the candidates for the next sect leader.

New popular figures like this do have enough capital for hot discussion, so discussing this with the visitor is just like chatting after dinner, and the visitor will not be alert.

And he learned information that he didn't know through what the other party said.

For seven days, Hou Xiaowu was doing similar things, making full use of his relationship network and visiting almost forty acquaintances.

From these people, Hou Xiaowu has a clearer understanding of the new popular figures in the past ten years, and thus circled three people and listed them as his goals.

These three people have gained rapid improvement in status in the past decade and can be said to be the upstarts of the sect.

Compared with old-fashioned big names, upstarts have one obvious feature: that is, they have not officially formed a huge climate.

Unlike those senior sect leaders, they all have huge power.

Hou Xiaowu knew that the small number of senior sect leaders who had the secret placement points could not tell him where the space spirit blade was placed, so he gave up on finding answers from those people.

Hou Xiaowu's approach is to meet these three new popular figures he has circled.

First of all, these three people have a rapid increase in status in the short term, but their foundation has not been truly consolidated and they are still developing their own power. Therefore, they are not as high-ranking as senior sect leaders, so they may talk.

Secondly, if these three people are favored by the sect, their status can be quickly improved. So if you think about it, you will know that if the sect values ​​these three people, they may tell them where the secret placement points are.

It is precisely because of these two points that he does this.

This is also his last method. Apart from being able to try this way, he is sure that there is absolutely no other way to think about it.

After all, there are only a few people in Qizhen Pavilion who know the location of the secret placement point, and it is impossible for those who have the secret to spread the secrets out. In other words, suppose the sect leader told twenty people the secret placement point secret, these twenty people would tell some people to some people for various personal gain, which would increase the number of people who know the secret, but no matter how much they increase, it would not be possible to change from twenty people to two hundred people!

So he needs to know the information about the secret placement point, which is nothing more than finding a breakthrough from these less than two hundred people.

The embarrassing fact is that he could only confirm that a few deputy sect leaders and a few old masters must know where the secret place was, but that's all.

Therefore, he can't just find a powerful person as a breakthrough.

So after seven days, he circled out three people he thought could be a breakthrough.

Just three people.

If he cannot make a breakthrough by using these three people as a breakthrough point, he will definitely stop and it is impossible to find a breakthrough again!
Chapter completed!
