Qingying was wearing a floral blouse, a pleated skirt, green silk with pearls, hairpins on her temples, and a pair of eyes that seemed happy but not happy. When she saw Chu Chen come in, she led him to sit down.
Bring tea and pour water.
As for the little ghost boy, he was not left out in the cold either. The fragrance of the letter was lingering in the clouds.
The interior is peaceful and calming, soothing.
"Erlang, why are you back so early today? Has the Ai family's affairs been settled?"
Qingying asked Chu Chen casually while she was pouring tea.
Chu Chen sat on the cloud couch where the clouds and mist gathered, stretched his body comfortably and said:
"No, the subsequent immigration matters will be left to Lao Han. I'll be lazy."
Qingying nodded slightly: "That's good. Fellow Daoist Han is the deputy governor in charge of the affairs in the western region of Yunzhou. It is really appropriate to leave it to him. You are the guardian of Yuqin Mountain. There is no need to interfere in local affairs to avoid gossip."
Chu Chen saw that Ying'er thought the same and smiled slightly. Ying'er was born in the Dragon Palace and her knowledge was indeed beyond that of ordinary women. She had a tacit understanding with him and thought of going together.
As the deputy governor of the state and the governor of Yuqin Mountain, Chu Chen has the authority to take charge of the affairs of the three counties of Yuqin, Yunxi and Qingshi. If he wants to seize power, he can find a way to intervene.
However, he did not do so.
There is no other reason. He is not only the deputy governor of the state, but also the left deputy supervisor of Yunzhou. Even if he does not arrest the three counties of Yuqin, he can easily control the situation.
Most importantly, there are priorities for errands.
As the guardian of Yuqin Mountain, his biggest responsibility is to sit in Yuqin Mountain on behalf of the Celestial Court, maintain the stability of one side, compete with powerful people from all sides, and protect the local interests of the Celestial Dynasty.
In addition, Chu Chen's biggest job is to monitor the demons and gods.
These are his main errands. As for the specific management of the affairs of demons, demons and gods in the three counties, that is the responsibility of all three counties.
Now that he has settled the grudge between the Ai family and the Green Snake Witch King of the Poison Valley, his work has been successfully completed. Next, there will be matters between the Celestial Court and the Ai family, and he does not need to interfere too much.
While joking, the two sat down to drink tea and talked about today's fight between Chu Chen and the Green Snake Witch King.
Like Han Chen, Qingying was also quite emotional.
As a descendant of the innate gods, they have powerful talents. When they first reach the realm of great supernatural powers, they are often much stronger than the human race. Even the direct descendants of the great immortal sects have to spend at least seven or eight years, or even more than ten years of hard training to catch up.
However, Chu Chen broke the convention and showed amazing magical powers in just one year after reaching the realm of great supernatural powers, which was no less impressive than those of them, descendants of innate gods.
She knew very well that Chu Chen did not inherit the magic weapon inherited from his master, and all the magic weapons he possessed were obtained through his own hard work.
"Erlang, the Green Snake Witch King is good at voodoo magical powers. He has a great reputation in all the eight southwest states. With his poison skills, he has even killed several indigenous demons with powerful magical powers who threatened their Poison Valley.
Extraordinary.”
After Qingying finished speaking, she smiled:
"After this battle, you have initially established your authority in Yuqin Mountain. It will be much easier to guard Yuqin Mountain in the future. No one dares to underestimate you."
"That's good, then I'll have plenty of time to come to Qingchen Mountain Garden for double cultivation."
Chu Chen was very interested in "catching fish". There was nothing more satisfying than practicing martial arts while lying down and earning a salary.
"What are you talking about? The little devil is still here."
Qingying glanced at Chu Chen angrily, her pretty face turned red, a little happy, but also very embarrassed.
"Sister Ying'er, I'm here, why are you calling me?"
"There's nothing to do. You have a good time sleeping and cultivating."
"Okay! Sister Ying'er is so kind. You are the dearest person in my heart now, my second senior brother, sir, huh, I don't know him now."
"Kekeke~"
Qingying pursed her lips and chuckled, very satisfied with the little ghost boy's outspoken love.
Chu Chen was a little speechless at the little ghost's "if you have fragrance, you will be your mother" attitude. He shook his head and ignored the little ghost. Instead, he turned his eyes back to the tea in the cup and said:
"Ying'er, help me find the shed skin of a snake monk with great supernatural powers. It will be of great use to me."
Seeing that Chu Chen was talking about business, Qingying also became interested: "Erlang, the skin shed by the great magical snake is extraordinary. Every time the snake demon sheds its skin, its strength will increase greatly. The snake shed is the otherworldly transformation of the snake demon."
, contains the opportunity of creation and is quite precious. Are you cultivating some magical power or refining a magic weapon?"
Chu Chen: "To practice magical power, my sect has a technique that can prevent death and prevent disasters. To practice this magical power, the main material is the shedding of the skin of a great magical snake."
"This is good. The technique of warding off disaster is very important. It can save your life at critical moments."
Qingying understood, a little surprised, but also a little regretful, and said leisurely:
"Originally, I planned to help you find a death-substitution technique after you sacrificed the [Laojun Sun and Moon Four Symbols Bagua Mirror]. I didn't expect that your sect actually has this kind of inheritance. Who said that Lingshan Sect is a small sect?
In my opinion, the small sect’s background is no worse than most of the big sects’ Immortal Sects.”
Chu Chen smiled, feeling inexplicably warm in his heart. Ying'er probably didn't plan to help him find magical powers to save his life, but had already searched for them in the Diyuan Dragon Palace treasure house, and was waiting for Chu Chen to have some free time after cultivating the magic weapon in his hand.
.
Based on the foundation of the Diyuan Dragon Palace's treasure house, its ability to ward off disasters on behalf of one's own death must not be bad.
It can be seen from the fact that the empress of Longling suffered the punishment of heaven and the will of heaven and earth was always locked, and that the empress was able to "shield the secrets of heaven" and hide deep underground in Longling Mountain.
Speaking of which, after Chu Chen broke through to the realm of great supernatural powers, he had not yet had time to perform the [Heaven's Heart Transforms into a Dragon Technique] for his father-in-law, Lord Di Yuanlong.
The two of them agreed that it would be more appropriate to wait until Chu Chen's Taoism becomes more profound before considering the deduction of "Heaven's Heart Transforms into a Dragon".
Qingying probably knew that her thoughts had been guessed, so she felt a little embarrassed and quickly said:
"Erlang, I'm afraid you're here today not just for the shedding of the snake demon with great supernatural powers. It's said on the dream stone that you have just taken office and there are a lot of things going on."
Chu Chen nodded slightly.
He came to see Qingying. The shedding of the snake demon's skin was just incidental. The real purpose was of course to identify treasures.
While talking, Chu Chen took out a bronze token from the Bracelet Immortal Mansion and handed it to Qingying.
"Ying'er, you are well-informed and have seen countless treasures. Please help me identify them. What kind of treasure is this?"
When Qingying heard the word "baby", she became interested and reached out to take the bronze token. She just looked at it casually and a look of surprise appeared on her face:
"What a restrained and elegant brand, Erlang, where did you get this treasure?"
As soon as an expert takes action, he will know whether it is there or not.
Qingying could tell at a glance that this thing was extraordinary, her face was full of joy, she held it in her hand and played with it, looking very interested.
"This is the source of the Ai family's disaster."
Chu Chen took the Ai family members out and met an ancient cultivator sitting in the Hua Cave Mansion. After finding this object, the treasure bloomed with five-color glow, and then attracted people from the Wandu Valley who passed by to explain the cause and effect.
Qingying listened and nodded repeatedly:
"The Ai family dedicates this to you as a reward for protecting their Ai family?"
Chu Chen nodded slightly: "It's half sale and half free."
In fact, before he left Aijiapu, he went to Ai Tianen privately to return the bronze token to him.
After all, the reason why he accepted the token in the first place was mainly to appease Ai Tianen, not to covet the Ai family's treasures or seize other people's opportunities.
Afterwards, he also gave Ai Tianen the opportunity to take back the token, which would be invalidated within one month.
However, to Chu Chen's surprise, Ai Tianen refused.
It is said that the Ai family is a small family. Someone in the Wandu Valley knows that the Ai family has obtained a mysterious and valuable treasure. It must be coveted and troubled.
The most important thing is that the Ai family doesn't know the function of this bronze token, and they don't dare to go outside to find someone to identify it. If it is left in their hands, it will do more harm than good.
Later, a clan elder proposed to sell the bronze token to Chu Chen. It would be fine if the price was high.
Although Chu Chen didn't know the function of the bronze token, he believed that the Ai family didn't dare to tell stories to deceive him, so he spent 500,000 jade on the spot to buy the treasure.
"The Ai family has a keen eye. It is indeed a family of casual cultivators that has survived in the wilderness for hundreds of years. With the clue shown by the rays of light, it is quite appropriate to spend half a million jade. It is not a loss, and the Ai family has not been treated badly.
"
Qingying listened to Chu Chen's explanation of the causes and consequences, and commented with high emotional intelligence.
In fact, from her point of view, Chu Chen's bid was too high. Such treasures without knowing the details generally cannot be sold at high prices. In business, the price can definitely be lowered. However, considering that Chu Chen is a member of the public and his status is
She was quite sensitive and was running an errand, so she didn't say much.
Chu Chen smiled:
"Actually, I didn't pay for it either. Wandu Huangu gave this money to us."
After defeating the Green Snake Witch Queen, the third elder Jin Gu of the Poison Valley gave a sum of spiritual materials and precious medicine as a ransom. Afterwards, Chu Chen estimated that these treasures were worth almost one million jade coins.
In fact, according to the rules, this batch of ransom money must be reported to the Immortal Court, and it must be reviewed and approved by the Immortal Court before he can accept the ransom.
However, under normal circumstances, Xianting will not make things difficult for others, and it will just go through the process. In the end, it will definitely be regarded as a personal battle between Chu Chen and the winner.
After the two exchanged words, the hall quickly fell into silence.
Chu Chen drank tea quietly, while Qingying was immersed in studying the bronze token in her hand, her eyebrows slightly furrowed, looking like she was quietly contemplating.
Obviously, Qingying, who was born in Yuanlong Palace and had seen countless rare treasures, could not figure out the origin of the "Bronze Token" for a while.
The mystery of this thing can be imagined.
It can also be seen from this that the Ai family has a very clear view. It is troublesome for them to keep such a treasure without knowing the details. It is not easy to sell it outside. It is easy to be deceived and the price is lowered.
About an hour later.
During this process, Qingying either took out a magic weapon such as a bright mirror to observe, or used magic techniques to identify treasures, or summoned divine fire to burn, or soaked in spiritual water, or took out the Nine Nether Order and began to seek outside the field.
For assistance, ask Diyuan Longjun and several senior experts with powerful auras for advice.
It really took eighteen different techniques of identification to be used over and over again.
"Huh~"
Qingying might have put a lot of thought into it, she was a little tired, and her hair was a little messy. She subconsciously blew the loose hair in front of her forehead, looking very cute.
Chu Chen smiled slightly:
"Ying'er, how are you?"
Qingying had a complicated expression on her face, feeling very sorry:
"Pity."
Chu Chen's expression remained unchanged: "How do you say that?"
Qingying played with the bronze token in her hand and said:
"Erlang, this bronze token is indeed not a mortal thing. It is neither gold, nor silver, nor copper, nor iron. It is made of a small secret realm. I didn't see it at first, because the natural talismans on the bronze token were different from what I usually do.
Seeing that the secret keys to the secret realm were different and not sure, I asked my father and several seniors from the Nine Nether Alliance for advice, and then I realized that this bronze token was not a secret key, but a small secret realm contained in the small token.
"
A little secret place to take with you!
Chu Chen exclaimed, a secret realm is very precious, and every force that gets it will regard it as a treasure.
However, most secret realms are anchored in beautiful places, created by heaven and earth, and formed by chance. For example, the secret realm Chu Chen encountered before in Yuqin Mountain.
And the portable secret realm is even more amazing.
As the name suggests, this small secret realm is anchored not on the mountains and the earth, but on a small object that can be carried around with you. Sumeru is contained in a mustard seed. It is a treasure that countless people in the spiritual world dream of.
This portable little secret realm not only has the storage capacity of ordinary magic weapons, but also forms a small world of its own, and creatures can enter it at will, and even live in the portable secret realm for a long time.
For example, if there is a portable little secret realm, eight hundred soldiers and horses under Chu Chen can enter the portable little secret realm.
When encountering an enemy, you can summon troops and horses with just one thought, without having to make secrets or recite incantations.
Chu Chen himself can also enter the portable secret realm.
However, if he carries the bronze token and enters the small secret realm, the entrance to the secret realm will appear on the spot, and others can break into the secret realm, which can easily cause trouble.
Generally, it is convenient to enter and exit privately when no one is around.
However, compared with the advantages of carrying a small secret place with you, this little regret is not a problem at all.
While Chu Chen was excited, he also felt a little unhappy. Previously, Qingying had sighed and expressed regret.
"Ying'er, since this is a portable secret realm, why are you sighing? Is there something wrong with this bronze token?"
"Not bad!" Qingying nodded and sighed: "The little secret realm in this bronze token is ruined, and we missed a huge opportunity."
Chu Chen: "."
"There is no room for salvation?"
Qingying shook her head: "No, my father and several seniors said that the creation of this bronze token was destroyed for some reason, and the small secret realm in the token collapsed and destroyed."
After speaking, Qingying consoled her:
"Erlang, although the little secret realm is gone, you still won't lose if you buy it with half a million jade. This bronze token is among the top space treasures. I remember that you have practiced a magic storage skill. Your bracelet
The Immortal Mansion could use a change."
"Ying'er, you shouldn't tell me anything about the little secret realm that you can carry with you. Just say that this thing is a rare treasure from space. Let me use it to practice the magical power of storage. I will be in a good mood. I feel like I missed it once I picked it up."
Chu Chen shook his head. People are like this. Even if he is successful, he will inevitably be greedy.
The essence of the same thing has not changed. The more you know, the more trouble you will have.
This may be what others call "foolish people are blessed", and satisfaction is the greatest happiness.
