Chapter 2330 the greed
"Yes, real person, I remember it all." Hou Xiaowu nodded.
Wang Lun glanced at the other party, released his breath, and showed his presence in front of the other party, reminding the other party to recognize what his relationship was with him, and then jumped directly from the top of the peak and disappeared into the dark forest.
Hou Xiaowu sat on the ground, not thinking about anything for the time being, and took a pill for healing to stabilize the wounds on his ribs and began to rest.
Half an hour later, Hou Xiaowu stood up, his face improved a little, and thought of something, and smiled bitterly a few times like self-deprecating, then decided to walk down the mountain.
For him, doing things for Zhenren Wang is already a must, so there is no need to think about whether he is willing to give up or not or regret it. In short, before completing this new task for the other party, he cannot and dare not think about other messy things.
...
After leaving the Linglong Market, Wang Lun directly started a high-speed flight in the sky and headed straight to Yunzhou.
More than a day later, Wang Lun came to a secret place with a black box hidden.
Wang Lun didn't move the box. He knew that it would not be useful to use space to wash the black box. He simply didn't even bother to take it out. He guarded the box and meditated next to me to temper his magic power.
Hou Xiaowu will definitely not make any progress for at least four or five days. He doesn’t have to stare near Qizhen Pavilion. He will first rest here and practice for five or six days, then go straight to Fansun State to find Changsun Wuyang in the Changsun family.
Now his main thing is to practice, he is to obtain the Sky-breaking Divine Stone to open the black box.
The Kaitian Divine Sword in the box is definitely the most suitable flying sword for him. Only with this thing can he truly exert the power of the Seven Swords of the True Spirit, which is very important to him.
His ultimate goal is to destroy the time and space city, which requires his strength to reach at least the early stage of the God Transformation Realm. But it does not mean that before reaching the God Transformation Realm, he can do nothing to fight for. He just needs to work hard to improve his realm.
After all, he still has to go to the ghost world, go to the extreme north, and collect high-level energy for the Ten Thousand Spirits Treasure Vase. Just doing these things will cause danger. If you only have a realm but no combat power, you will die quickly.
With the Kaitian Divine Sword, you can rely on the Seven True Spirit Swords. In this way, you can rely on both the Spinning Sky Spear and the Kaitian Divine Sword. With a double killer weapon, your combat power will be much higher than you are now.
The first and second swords of the Seven Swords of the True Spirit, "Chu Ling", and the third and fourth swords "Yin Yang", are suitable for him to practice in the early and middle stages of the Nascent Soul, while the fifth and sixth swords "Summoning Spirit" correspond to the late stage of the Nascent Soul, and the seventh sword "Annihilation" is even more powerful and can correspond to the God Transformation Realm. Therefore, this set of sword techniques is enough for him to practice forever. There is a flying sword suitable for him that he can continue to use.
The Qianmian Spirit Sword is no longer suitable now, and it is imminent to obtain the Kaitian Divine Sword.
This is why he has to do this. Even if he can only achieve the goal in a curve, such as from obtaining the Sumeru Stone, to subdue Hou Xiaowu, and then to obtaining the Knight-Breaking Stone in the future, the process will be tortuous and cannot be achieved overnight, but he can only do this.
...
It has been three days since Hou Xiaowu came back to Qizhen Pavilion.
In the past three days, he has adapted to his new identity and has been actively trying to participate in the task. He just returned from a treasure pavilion today. This treasure pavilion is not a branch of Qizhen pavilion, but a treasure pavilion that specializes in selling paintings. He used the spirit stone given by Wang Lun to buy three very expensive calligraphy and paintings in one go. Each one was specially selected and brought people with him.
Choose from the three calligraphy and paintings to ensure that the three paintings can meet the taste of the upstart Guo Nanbei of Qizhen Pavilion.
Yesterday, he had already visited Guo Nanbei and did not meet with him directly. He just handed over a calligraphy and painting to the gatekeeper, told his life, and asked the guards to hand over the calligraphy and painting to Guo Nanbei, and he left directly.
When Guo Nanbei was last time, he was very unauthorized and shameless. He gave Guo Nanbei a suitable calligraphy and painting. The other party embezzled it and temporarily copied a fake for him. In addition to being shameless, he was also mocking him, which clearly was fooling him as a fool and not afraid of him turning against him.
But yesterday he gave Guo Nanbei the second calligraphy and painting, and it was given for free.
First of all, if you want to open the breakthrough and find where the Breaking the Sky Stone is hidden, you can only find the three upstarts.
Secondly, the other two upstarts can no longer count on them, and the breakthrough will definitely not be opened.
On the contrary, although Guo Nanbei treats him as a fool and looks down on him very much, if you look at him from another perspective, you will find that Guo Nanbei has shortcomings, is greedy and shameless.
And taking advantage of Guo Nanbei's shortcomings can actually make a fuss.
Just like taming a spirit beast, the easiest way is to give the other party a delicious meal at a fixed time. One day, two days, three days, and a few days in a row, the spirit beast will entangle the owner and think about getting food from the owner. When the spirit beast is used to doing nothing, he can get a sumptuous meal every day, even if one day the owner suddenly stops the food supply and asks the spirit beast to do something, such as going to the cliff to pick a wild fruit for the owner. The spirit beast will definitely do this for the owner for food.
Yesterday he gave Guo Nanbei a suitable calligraphy and painting for free, and today he will go there again. In addition, the first time, the other party could get three good calligraphy and paintings without doing anything. This is a great thing for Guo Nanbei, who likes to collect calligraphy and paintings, and from then on, he will become accustomed to taking it from him for nothing or even asking for it for nothing.
Then he is not the one who can only be asked by the other party. After all, Guo Nanbei is not in charge of him. He can stop giving calligraphy and paintings to the other party on one day, and the other party can't say anything. He can't do anything to him, let alone ask him to continue giving.
Of course, he would not do that. After the other party is used to getting calligraphy and paintings for free and his greed is repeatedly stretched out, he will make some requests appropriately and ask the other party to help.
If you regard Guo Nanbei as a spiritual beast to be tamed, you will know what to do next.
The investment was very large. He could only buy three calligraphy and paintings from the spirit stones that Wang Zhenren gave him. He had to take out his own spirit stones to use, but everything was mainly about completing the task.
"Fellow Daoist is here again."
Hou Xiaowu came directly outside Guo Nanbei's mansion. The other party's mansion had four courtyards. From the outside, he could not see the house where the other party lived. The mansion was as huge as the mansion of the prince and general. The concierge would stay outside and help Guo Nanbei stop the people he didn't want to see.
After he came, the doorman smiled and greeted him directly.
Hou Xiaowu smiled and nodded: "Yes, here we are, fellow Daoist Chen, is Mr. Guo in the mansion?"
This concierge with the surname Chen is also a guard. He has the strength of the Jiedan realm. He is not a servant. He has a high vision and is neither cold nor warm when he came the first two times.
Now I saw him holding a scroll of calligraphy and paintings in his arms, and then I greeted him with a smile.
"The real person is not here, go and deal with the affairs of the sect." The concierge replied, glanced at the scroll of calligraphy and paintings held in Wang Lun's arms.
“
So, I originally wanted to pay homage to Master Guo," Hou Xiaowu looked regretful and handed over the scroll. "Fellow Daoist Chen, this is a painting I got by chance. It should be able to catch the eyes of Master Guo. However, Master Guo is not here, so I can't present the calligraphy and paintings to Master Guo with both hands. Please help me pass them on."
The concierge directly took the scroll of calligraphy and painting and smiled: "It's okay, when the real person comes back, I will definitely convey the words of fellow Taoist Hou and express my gratitude to fellow Taoist on behalf of the real person. Thank you for your calligraphy and paintings."
"You're welcome," Hou Xiaowu said without saying a request at all, "Then I'll leave first."
After waiting for Xiaowu to leave, the concierge shook his head. He didn't quite understand that the other party had given away precious calligraphy and paintings several times, but he didn't even ask him to help him meet with Zhenren Guo.
But he didn't know that because of the limited pattern, he didn't understand the reason why Hou Xiaowu did this. The so-called bystanders were clear, but this time he couldn't see it clearly.
"It's the third painting, it doesn't matter if I haven't seen Guo Nanbei, just take it slowly."
Hou Xiaowu knew that Guo Nanbei would be stretched out step by step because of his greed. Even if he knew what the purpose of giving away calligraphy and paintings for free was, he would still accept them.
Soon, the fourth day came again. Hou Xiaowu entered the inner door at about the same time, arrived at the door of Guo Nanbei's mansion, and met the door again.
This time, the other party was even more polite and said hello. He didn't need to ask him, saying to him: "Fellow Daoist, this time, Master Guo went to a cave in the sect to practice, but he only knew how to practice for one day and would handle things in the mansion tomorrow. By the way, I submitted the calligraphy and paintings given to the real person yesterday to the real person, and the real person also likes it."
Hou Xiaowu also said politely: "It is indeed a pity that I cannot pay homage to Master Guo, but as long as the real person likes the calligraphy and paintings I choose, it is my honor."
The concierge bowed: "Don't worry, as long as Master Guo is here, I will definitely ask Master to meet with Master Taoist."
This time, Hou Xiaowu had been chatting with the other party for a long time. He continued to chat with the other party for a stick of incense and became familiar with the other party a lot, and then he said goodbye and left.
The fourth painting is still being given away for free.
But Hou Xiaowu was not worried. At this moment, greed should have not yet supported Guo Nanbei's stomach. After all, the other party is not an ordinary monk, a Nascent Soul monk, and a new sect. Even if he likes calligraphy and paintings very much, he will not think about his calligraphy and paintings because of his several filial actions.
If he stops giving gifts tomorrow, the other party will not deliberately miss him. After all, the habit of taking it for nothing from him has not yet been developed.
So after Hou Xiaowu left the inner door, he went to the outside world and spent most of the day carefully selecting two paintings to spare for spare.
What Wang Zhenren told him that he should complete the task as the main thing. In addition to fulfilling his duties as a deacon every day and acting, he basically let go of his cultivation and did not visit Elder Kong to wait for his backers. That would be a waste of time. After all, the current task would not use those backers at all.
Of course, this also means that he has given up the competition for the new deacon position.
What he thought was to complete the task first, and then make up for the cold relationship with several backers. Although he had to pay more at that time, it was better than wasting time now, resulting in poor completion of the task.
Soon, it was his turn to present calligraphy and paintings to Guo Nanbei on the fifth day.
Chapter completed!
