This was not the first time Shen Lang heard this name.
Everyone who mentioned Lian Yunxiao said that he was regarded as the first-level Taoist genius in the contemporary era, and even the title was reserved in advance - he is now called "Little Heavenly Master". In the future, he will be promoted to the first-level.
It's called "Heavenly Master".
"Both Mu Qingxue and Zhou Shicheng seemed to have said that it took Lian Yunxiao seven full days to cultivate his first ninth-level spell? Although the average level of the proud disciples of the Imperial City Taoist Academy is one month, I only spent seven days at the beginning.
It only took two and a half days. It shows that my Taoist talent is at least three times that of Lian Yunxiao."
Although he didn't pay much attention to Lian Yunxiao's talent in Taoism, Shen Lang did not dare to underestimate Lian Yunxiao himself.
Because Lian Yunxiao’s master Bailong Zhenren is a very difficult big shot.
Master Bailong is not only a first-class great master, but also the direct grandson of Taizu Taizu of the Great Chu. He is an old man in his eighties. Not to mention his strong strength and high status, the extraordinary heritage accumulated by the Great Chu royal family from the beginning of the founding of the country to the present must be also
Most of them are jointly controlled by him and Taizu's brother Qiankun Zhenren.
The financial resources and power that the emperor can control may not be comparable to those of Bailong and Qiankun, two great masters who have lived for too long.
Strength, status, money, manpower, heritage... he has it all. He is a difficult opponent that even Yan Tianying is wary of.
Lian Yunxiao is a peerless genius in his own right, and he has Master Bailong as his back. Except for the first-grade Grand Master and Master himself, no one else would dare to despise him in the slightest.
"I don't know why Lian Yunxiao sent people to inquire about me. He and I have never crossed paths. Could it be that he is also interested in the reward of 100,000 silver dollars? Or maybe, besides the mighty Bodhisattva of the 'Black Lotus Demon Cave'
The man behind the scenes on the other side is not Qiankun, but Bailong. Does Lian Yunxiao want to vent his evil anger on behalf of his master?"
Shen Lang pondered all the way to the Taoist Scripture Collection Hall, walked straight into the gate, went straight to the registration office, took out his waistband to register and pay, and then entered the library to scan the scroll.
As soon as he entered the library, the Taoist student who registered him asked another work-study student to help him for a while, and then hurriedly left the Sutra Collection Hall.
This time, Shen Lang did not retreat in the Buddhist Scripture Hall like last time.
The cost of retreat at the Tibetan Sutra Hall is too expensive. Although Shen Lang has a small fortune now, he is not willing to spend this unjust money anymore.
He also needs to learn how to make alchemy, and he has to buy an alchemy furnace, materials, and God knows how much more expenses he will have to spend.
So this time he just kept flipping through books in the Sutra Collection Hall.
Open a Tao Dharma book or Tao Dharma scroll, stare at it for about ten seconds, then immediately put it back where it was before picking up another book.
With the scanning efficiency of a fine pen, it only takes about ten seconds to scan a Taoist book or a Taoist scroll completely.
In one minute, an average of four Taoist methods can be scanned.
In addition to constantly scanning the Taoist methods of the ninth to fifth levels, Shen Lang also paid attention to searching for elixir recipes and alchemy methods.
The alchemy methods and elixir prescriptions placed in the public library of the Sutra Collection Hall, and allowed to be browsed by Taoist students, will naturally not be some unique secret method, but will only be general-purpose products.
But for Shen Lang, there is no need to pursue any unique secret method, it is enough.
Wait until you have a little foundation in alchemy, and then ask Master Wanfa for advice.
Although Wanfa Zhenren does not accept male disciples, it should be no problem to give him a volume of alchemy methods and some elixir recipes.
After a lot of collecting, Shen Lang actually collected three popular alchemy methods and more than a dozen pill recipes.
Not all of the elixirs recorded in these elixir prescriptions are suitable for Dharma practice.
More than half of them are elixirs that are only suitable for warriors.
Such elixirs were obviously meant to be refined and sold to warriors to make money.
The elixirs collected in the public library of the Sutra Collection Hall are only for use by Dharma cultivators up to the fifth level. Those for use by warriors are up to the fourth level.
The elixir prescriptions for those above the fourth level of Dharma Cultivation, like the Taoist books above the fourth level, can only be seen by entering a secret library guarded by restrictions.
Shen Lang is now at the fifth level of cultivation, but he has not yet fully mastered three fifth-level spells, and has not taken the test to prove his Taoist level. Therefore, he cannot enter the secret library and browse and scan Taoist books above the fourth level.
, Danfang et al.
But he doesn't care either.
After a while, when he has mastered three fifth-level spells, passed the assessment, and obtained the pass, he will be able to enter the secret library and scan books.
Besides, the elixir that uses "Ichthyosaurus Wood" as its main material has been fully decrypted long ago due to the extinction of "Ichthyosaurus Wood", just as Shen Lang guessed.
Not to mention the fourth-grade elixir prescriptions, even the third-grade spiritual elixir prescriptions, regardless of whether they are suitable for warriors or Dharma practitioners, can be found in public libraries.
Shen Lang found a total of nine kinds of elixirs using ichthyosaurus wood as the main material in a corner of the public library marked "Scrapped Elixir Recipes".
Among them, there are five kinds of elixirs, which are used to assist warriors in exercising their bodies, as well as cultivating their internal strength and true energy. The other four kinds of elixirs can improve the efficiency of the "contemplation method" of Dharma cultivation.
These nine kinds of elixirs are all available from low to high, and they are enough to be used to reach the first level of impact, no matter on the martial arts side or the Taoist side.
Of course, the higher the grade, the more effective the elixir, and the higher the requirements for auxiliary medicinal materials.
The auxiliary medicinal materials of several high-grade elixirs are all extremely precious treasures. If you look for them yourself, they will be difficult to find. If you spend money to buy them, with Shen Lang's current net worth, even if he spends every last copper on his body, he will not be able to get enough.
Make a furnace of auxiliary medicines for the elixir.
However, it should not be difficult to obtain the auxiliary medicinal materials for fifth-grade and fourth-grade elixirs.
For now, Shen Lang doesn't have to worry about the difficulty of finding high-end elixirs and auxiliary medicines.
Many other prescriptions that were scrapped due to the disappearance of key materials have also been found.
The reason why these elixir recipes have not been destroyed and are still here is because although the elixirs can no longer be refined, the elixir recipes themselves still have a certain reference value, which can help alchemy masters gain some insights from them, and perhaps use them as a reference.
This has led to the development of some new elixirs.
Shen Lang felt that he might have a chance to get some of the now extinct elixirs in the future, so he swept in all the discarded elixirs.
Even if you really don't need it in the future, you can still use "Little Moon Taming Technique" as a data reserve.
Little Moon Taming Technique has the ability to deduce.
As long as there are enough data reserves, Little Moon can deduce new martial arts techniques and Taoist secrets based on these foundations. New elixir recipes that can be replaced by materials in the present world can also be deduced.
Shen Lang only stayed in the Sutra Collection Hall for one day and one night this time.
Early the next morning, he left the library with a full harvest and prepared to go home.
[Shen Lang, it’s still early today, let’s go to the Royal Garden together! We should relax and enjoy life occasionally!]
[Mao is right, Shen Lang, you have been a little tense these days. It is said to be a vacation, but for more than twenty days, you have been practicing. The way of cultivation is to stretch one step at a time. It is not good to be so tense all the time.
good.】
[Look, Shen Lang, even the fish say you should rest!]
"Well, I have really been practicing too hard during this period. Mainly because I feel a little stressed when I think of offending at least two great masters... It's time to go out for a trip to relieve the stress."
While Shen Lang was communicating with the goblins and talking about going out for fun, he stepped out of the door of the Sutra Collection Hall.
As soon as he went out, two people came over and blocked him.
One is tall and the other is short, one is fat and the other is thin, the fat one has a white face and the thin one has a dark face. They both wear Taoist uniforms with blue background and cloud pattern.
Judging from the number of cloud patterns on their sleeves, these two are actually fifth-grade monks.
"But Junior Brother Shen Lang?"
The fat monk with a white face smiled broadly and bowed his hands when he came up.
The dark-faced and thin monk had an old face, as if someone owed him eight million. He clasped his hands behind his back and looked at Shen Lang coldly.
Shen Lang didn't bother to pay attention to the thin black-faced monk. He only returned the favor to the fat monk with a white face and asked with a smile:
"I am Shen Lang, who is this senior brother?"
The fat monk with a white face said with a smile:
"My name is Zhong Yuanzhi. This is Wang Anguo. Both of us have been studying in the Taoist Academy for eight years. We are now following Junior Brother Lian Yunxiao, helping him run errands and doing odd jobs. I am here to see Shen
Junior Brother, it was at the request of Junior Brother Lian that he came to invite Junior Brother Shen to be a guest at Junior Brother Lian's place."
Shen Lang had actually known the purpose of these two people's visit for a long time - they had been squatting outside the gate of the Sutra Collection Hall, waiting for Shen Lang to come out.
At that moment, Shen Lang also smiled slightly:
"I've heard of Senior Brother Lian's name for a long time. I'm really flattered and overjoyed by Senior Brother Meng Lian's invitation. But as an agent of the Divine Catcher Hall, I have heavy responsibilities and am busy with official duties, so I really don't have time to go to Senior Brother Lian's invitation.
.Senior Brother Zhong, please be sure to explain the whole story to Senior Brother Lian on behalf of the younger brother, and apologize to Senior Brother Lian on behalf of the younger brother. Thank you, Senior Brother Zhong."
After saying that, he bowed to Zhong Yuanzhi politely.
Zhong Yuanzhi's expression did not change, and his smile did not even fade away. The dark-faced Wang Anguo snorted coldly and said coldly:
"What a big show! We, two seniors of the fifth level, have come to invite you. It's fine if you don't give us face, but you dare not give face to the 'little heavenly master'...don't you want to be in the Taoist world?"
Have you gone to the hospital?"
Zhong Yuanzhi pretended to yell:
"Junior Brother Wang, how can you speak like this? Junior Brother Lian has ordered that Junior Brother Shen is his honored guest. When we come to invite Junior Brother Shen, we must treat him with kind words and must not use bad words. Besides, what Brother Shen Lang said is also true.
Reasonable, he is an agent of the Divine Catcher Hall, and he is already very busy with official duties and cannot spare any time. Isn’t it reasonable?”
Wang Anguo said coldly:
"Since you are busy with official duties, in my opinion, Shen Lang, you don't need to come to the Taoist Temple anymore. You can just stay in the Divine Catcher Hall and catch the thief with peace of mind."
To be honest, the red-faced and white-faced performances of these two guys are really poor, and their acting skills are so bad that Shen Lang can't stand it anymore - he is a senior undercover agent, and his actor-level acting skills are practiced on the verge of life and death. Look at these two guys whose acting skills stretch their hips.
Singing and harmonizing made him feel really sad.
At the moment, I was too lazy to make excuses with these two people, so I straightened my face and said coldly:
"Senior Brother Wang, I came to the Taoist Temple to practice with the token of Wanfa Zhenren. Whether I can come to the Taoist Temple or not is up to you."
Then he gave Zhong Yuanzhi a hasty hand and said:
"Senior Brother Zhong, farewell!"
After saying that, he turned around and left.
Zhong Yuanzhi smiled and said:
"Junior Brother Shen, do you really not want to think about it anymore? It's true that you were recommended by Master Wanfa, but the current president of the Taoist Academy is Master Qiankun. The vice president is Master Bailong. Either one of the two,
With the next order, Junior Brother Shen will be in trouble if he wants to enter the Taoist Academy in the future. Even if he finally enters the Taoist Academy, it will be even more troublesome if he wants to come to the Sutra Collection Hall to read."
Shen Lang stopped and turned around with an elegant and easy-going smile:
"Senior Brother Zhong, are you threatening me?"
"I don't dare." Zhong Yuanzhi smiled and said, "I just tell the truth and tell Junior Brother Shen the key to this truthfully."
Shen Lang smiled and said:
"Two seniors of the fifth level of Taoism, who have practiced in the Taoist monastery for eight years, are running errands for a junior. Don't you feel embarrassed?"
Zhong Yuanzhi’s expression remained unchanged, even showing admiration:
"Junior Brother Lian is a genius. It has only been five years since he entered the Taoist Academy and he has reached the fourth level of cultivation. In the future, he is even more promising to be a first-level person. We, dull people, are really lucky to be able to follow Junior Brother Lian. How can we be embarrassed?"
explain?"
Tsk, I don’t even want to lose my face.
Shen Lang shook his head, touched the Wanfa Zhenren Sword Talisman token in his sleeves, then gently pressed the Millennium Jade? Exorcism Seal worn close to his heart, and waved his hand:
"lead the way!"
Zhong Yuanzhi bowed slightly and made a "please" gesture.
Wang Anguo put his hands behind his back and sneered:
"I really thought you could brace your neck and hold on to the end, but in the end, aren't you a coward?"
With a flick of his sleeves, he turned around and left.
Shen Lang silently followed the two of them, showing no emotion or anger on his face, but in his heart he was constantly comforting a certain restless little demon.
[Shen Lang, let me out, I will slap this damn black face to death with a tiger claw! And that damn fat man, how dare he threaten you in such a weird way! Let me out quickly, I will crush him to pieces with a breath of black wind.
!]
"Don't be impatient. Xiao Zhao, you are an adult, why should you become murderous just because of a little quarrel?"
[?, We cats can get murderous at any time when we are playing around, let alone being threatened and ridiculed by these two guys?]
[Rabbit Ji testifies that cats are indeed very murderous and often kill butterflies and birds when playing...]
[Shen Lang, look, Tuji already knows what kind of cat I am! Let me out, my rage is almost uncontrollable!]
"Okay, okay, don't be so irritable first. They are just two bastards, not worth mentioning. The point is Lian Yunxiao, I have to see what he is planning... Also, Xiao Zhao, you have to control your nature.
, the butterflies and birds didn’t offend you, why are you playing with them and killing them? You are the future White Tiger Emperor, so you have to be a little thoughtful..."
Xiaoyu also advised:
[Cat, you better calm down. This is the Imperial Taoist Temple, the territory of Qiankun, Bailong, and Lian Yunxiao. If we really kill these two losers, do you think we can escape from the Taoist Temple? 】
Xiaogu also heard his voice:
[The cat is a little swollen. The Wind King Orb, plus the ‘Change Realm’ cultivation level, makes its mentality drift. 】
"Well, Xiao Gu is right. Xiao Zhao, you are indeed a little wandering now."
[Meow, it’s not floating, I’m just angry. Don’t fish often say that the master will die if he insults his subordinates? 】
[I have said that the lord humiliates his minister to death, but the loyal minister has to persuade the lord to judge the situation. How can he encourage the lord to follow the loyal minister who is hot-headed? 】
【Fish, what a good fish.】
【Thank you. Xiao Gu, you are also a good bone.】
【Where's Rabbit?】
【Rabbit is too weak and will only be manipulated by cats.】
[Woo, but Rabbit is just afraid of cats...it's so scary when it turns into a big tiger...]
[I am a fish, so I should be more afraid of cats than you, but do you think I have ever been afraid of cats? Not only am I not afraid of cats now, but I was also in the second realm before. I was never afraid of cats in the first realm. Rabbit, you
You must learn from me, be brave and strong, and be brave enough to say 'no' to cats when they harm butterflies, birds and other small animals!】
"That's right, Xiaoya, when did you stop being afraid of cats? When did you become a truly upright little fairy?"
[Meow, you are all going too far. You talk about Meow like a big devil. He is obviously just an innocent and cute little milk cat, Meow~]
I communicated with the goblins along the way, and before I knew it, I came to a small courtyard that looked quite simple from the outside.
Two warriors in black clothes stood at the entrance of the courtyard with swords in hand. Their imposing momentum gave people an unshakable feeling. They were like two fourth-level warriors who had reached the fifth level of the "Demon Taming Technique".
, Shen Lang's spiritual sense became more and more acute, and he could already judge the specific realm of the warrior through Qi.
Of course, it is limited to warriors of fourth grade and below.
If a third-grade warrior deliberately restrained his energy, he might not be able to tell.
"What a little heavenly master! He actually let a fourth-grade accomplished warrior guard the door!"
Shen Lang was murmuring in his heart. He glanced at the two warriors in black and saw that their faces were expressionless and their eyes were indifferent. They didn't look like humans, but rather like some kind of emotionless killing machine.
Like the Terminator.
Zhong Yuanzhi and Wang Anguo walked up to the two warriors in black and each showed a waist card:
"Junior Brother Yilian ordered us to invite people over. Please let us know."
A warrior in black glanced at the waist badges of the two men with an indifferent expression, then looked at Shen Lang emotionlessly, then turned and entered the courtyard gate.
Soon, the warrior in black walked out of the door again and said in a calm tone without any emotion:
"go in."
After saying that, he stood next to the door and stood motionless with his sword in hand, really like a robot.
Next, Shen Lang followed Zhong Yuanzhi and Wang Anguo into the courtyard gate, passed through the front yard, passed through a moon gate, and came to a small building.
There was another guard in front of the building, this time two beautiful girls wearing red and pink clothes.
These two girls were just like the two warriors in black, with expressionless faces and indifferent expressions, making them feel more like machines.
However, Shen Lang did not detect the aura of warriors or monks from them.
These two girls in pink clothes seemed to be ordinary people without any power.
Zhong Yuanzhi and Wang Anguo stepped forward and bowed to the two girls in pink clothes, explaining their intentions again.
The two girls also looked at Shen Lang with emotionless eyes, and one of them went in to report.
Then the girl who went in to report came out again and said in a calm and indifferent tone, a voice that was so cold that it was almost rigid:
"Master, please come in."
Then he stood motionless at the door.
The two groups of gatekeepers at the front and back gave Shen Lang a strange feeling. He always felt that they were a little less human.
While he was thinking about it, an idea suddenly flashed in his mind, and he remembered something Yan Tianying once said to him:
"Master Bailong is good at refining mechanism puppets. The human-shaped and animal-shaped puppets he refines are almost exactly the same as real creatures. They are not only flesh and blood, but also have real energy. It is difficult for ordinary warriors and monks to distinguish their authenticity...
"
Master Bailong can make humanoid puppets that look like real ones!
Thinking of this, Shen Lang immediately confirmed his guess - the two warriors in black at the door of the courtyard and the two girls in pink at the door of the small building were probably not real human beings, and were probably refined by the White Dragon Master.
A humanoid puppet given to his disciples.
And isn't this kind of puppet with flesh and blood and real energy just like the "Terminator" in essence?
"The Da Zhenren's methods are really unbelievable! He can actually use Taoism to create such a high-tech puppet!"
Shen Lang sighed in his heart.
No matter what Bailong Zhen's character is, at least his method of refining puppets is enough to amaze and even admire Shen Lang.
Following Zhong Yuanzhi, Wang Anguo entered the small building gate, passed through the front hall, climbed the stairs, and went up to the third floor. Only then did Shen Lang finally meet the famous and ostentatious "Little Heavenly Master" Lian Yunxiao.
Lian Yunxiao, wearing a brocade white robe and sitting on an imperial chair, looked very young, only in his early twenties.
He is also very handsome in appearance. He is the only handsome guy Shen Lang has seen since time travel who is as good as him in terms of appearance.
Lian Yunxiao not only has an extraordinary appearance, but also has a wealth that really makes Shen Lang jealous.
In his spiritual sense, Lian Yunxiao's whole body was "glowing".
Of course, this is not Lian Yunxiao's cultivation, which is so powerful that he can emit divine light - the only people Shen Lang has ever seen who can shine all over his body are the Liuli Lord who can emit bright moonlight, and Wanwan who can emit colorful rays of light.
Fa Zhen.
But they are first-class real people, and their souls are already powerful enough to influence matter and manifest themselves as saints in this world.
Even if the Dharma does not leave the body, if it is not deliberately restrained, the divine light can shine from the inside out.
The light on Lian Yunxiao's body was due to his equipment.
The purple wood hairpin on his head, the jade ring on his hand, the belt around his waist, the jade pendant, even the brocade white robe, a pair of moiré boots, and other small bits and pieces hidden in the white robe are all blooming.
With a burning spiritual light.
It was obvious that every part of his body was covered with magic weapons, and they were all high-end goods of high quality.
Shen Lang was unable to discern the magical functions of the many magic weapons on Lian Yunxiao's body.
He only has one intuition, that is, even if Lian Yunxiao sits still and does not cast spells, and allows him to do whatever he wants, if he does not use the little demon and only relies on himself, even if he uses all his methods, he may not be able to defeat Lian Yunxiao.
.
With outstanding appearance, tall posture and luxurious equipment, Lian Yunxiao is undoubtedly a true pride of heaven.
Such a person can easily make others feel ashamed in front of him. No wonder Zhong Yuanzhi and Wang Anguo feel comfortable being his dog.
However, Lian Yunxiao's eyes made people very uncomfortable.
It was an extremely indifferent and cold look.
Although he is not arrogant, it always makes people feel that there is no trace of humanity in his eyes. When he looks at other people, it is like looking at pigs, horses, cattle, sheep, and even dead things and corpses.
When people look at pigs, horses, cattle, sheep, dead animals and corpses, they will not be condescending and arrogant.
Therefore, there was no arrogance in Lian Yunxiao's eyes, only indifference.
Even when he looked at Zhong Yuanzhi and Wang Anguo, his eyes were filled with such indifference and coldness.
It seems that in his eyes, these two dog legs are no different from humble cows and horses.
On the other hand, when he looked at Shen Lang, the indifference and coldness in his eyes softened slightly, and he even showed a hint of appreciation.
"Shen Lang." He said calmly, "I've heard your name for a long time, and I finally met you today. Yes, it's true that meeting you makes you more famous."
Lian Yunxiao was so polite, which made Shen Lang a little surprised, and he also stepped forward and bowed:
"I've met Senior Brother Lian. I don't know if Senior Brother Lian has summoned me. What advice can you give me?"
"Sit down first."
Lian Yunxiao pointed to a chair next to him and motioned for him to sit down. He also ordered the maid to bring tea and cakes, and after inviting Shen Lang to drink tea, he said calmly:
"Shen Lang, you are a talent. A very outstanding talent."
Shen Lang smiled slightly:
"Senior Brother Lian has been praised too much."
"I am telling the truth."
Lian Yunxiao said calmly:
"I basically don't praise others. Because most people, including most of the so-called proud men in this Taoist temple, are all idiots. I don't think it's a waste of time to even look at them. Only you,
It deserves my attention."
Shen Lang said in surprise:
"Senior Brother Lian actually thinks so highly of me?"
Lian Yunxiao nodded slowly and said calmly:
"Do you know? I have investigated you and know very much about your experience. Six months ago, you were just an ordinary person who knew nothing about martial arts and Taoism. But after just ten days, you can use
Plan to kill Zhao Mengshan of Changsheng County..."
"Senior brother, wait!" Shen Lang made a pause gesture and said innocently: "Senior brother, Changsheng County Lord has concluded that Zhao Mengshan's death was done by the Blood Shadow Sect killer, and it has nothing to do with me.
"
Although he had even killed Mrs. Zhao and was no longer afraid of Duke Ying, the wise and powerful Changsheng County Lord had already made a conclusion on this case and sent an official document to the government office. Shen Lang was very fond of the County Lord.
I have a good impression, but I don't want to slap him in the face.
Lian Yunxiao said calmly:
"What do those idiots in Changsheng County know? If I said you did it, it must be you. After that, you followed Mu Qingxue to Yingzhou Mansion, and under her orders, sneaked into King Shark Island to rebel against the pirate leader
Chen Yuniang disrupted the so-called Heroes Conference and did a lot of great things!"
Shen Lang smiled and said:
"Senior Brother Lian is praising the wrong person. The suppression of King Shark Island was the result of Master Mu's efforts. My younger brother is just pretending to be powerful."
At the same time, I couldn't help but wonder in my heart: Does Lian Yunxiao know that what happened to King Shark Island was that I ruined the emperor's good deeds? Later, I even killed the emperor's illegitimate son and old lover?
But then again, Master Bailong is over eighty years old and has experienced more than one or two generations of emperors.
The royal family is a profit animal and has little family affection.
With Master Bailong's age, cultivation, status, and family ties, I am afraid that he will become even more indifferent.
To Master Bailong, the current emperor is probably just an ordinary junior member of the family. No matter how many people die in the emperor's life, Master Bailong may not take him seriously.
But the problem is, my brothers have offended Qiankun and Bailong themselves...
While I was thinking about it, I heard Lian Yunxiao say:
"After the pirate incident, you returned to Yingzhou and walked thousands of miles alone to the capital. On the way, you were chased by three groups of people seeking revenge, but you killed them all. Not only were the three groups of people numerous, but there were also many
A fifth-grade accomplished warrior, and even a magician from the Izumo Kingdom.
"Although fifth-level warriors are not worth mentioning, and Izumo Curse Master is even more crooked and not worth mentioning, at that time you only had seventh-level martial arts and eighth-level Taoist skills.
"After that, you disappeared for nearly two months. When you reappeared, you were already in Luling Mansion. You took the aliases of 'Fahai' and 'Kong Kongzi' and single-handedly eradicated the demon spider mother's seven travelers from the human world.
, uprooting the spider mother's power.
"After that, you enter the capital and enter a Taoist monastery to practice..."
Having said this, he slightly raised the corners of his mouth and revealed an indifferent smile:
"Liao Xun, who was guarding the gate, and Zhou Shicheng, who was useless, both died at your hands, right?"
Shen Lang smiled innocently:
"Senior Brother Lian, I really don't understand what you are talking about."
Lian Yunxiao said calmly:
"No matter who you kill, it has nothing to do with me. They are all idiots anyway, and they will die if they die. I just admire the decisiveness, ruthlessness, and clever tactics you have shown in these battles.
"In every battle, no matter how many people the opponent has, no matter how much higher they are than you are, you can always find their weaknesses, defeat the many with less, and defeat the strong with the weak. What's even more frightening is that you have experienced many situations where the situation is obviously very big.
This bloody battle is not conducive to you, but there is no record of injuries...
"I recognize your talents. Whether it is your ability to practice or your extraordinary fighting talent. Therefore, I want to recruit you. It is precisely for this reason that I invite you here today. I want you to do things for me.
."
Shen Lang chuckled, looked at Lian Yunxiao sincerely, and said in a sincere tone:
"Senior Brother Lian looks up to me so highly. I am really flattered and grateful. However, although I am young, low-ranking and have average cultivation, my backbone is too strong. I really can't be like Senior Brother Zhong, Senior Brother Wang and the others.
It's the same as being a dog for others. Therefore, even senior brother's kindness and kindness, please forgive me for not knowing how to appreciate it and cannot accept it."
Lian Yunxiao raised the corners of his mouth again, giving a stiff smile:
"I believe that everyone in the world has a price. If you are unmoved for a moment, it's just that the price is not high enough. Shen Lang, don't you want to hear what price I will offer you?"
"oh?"
Shen Lang became interested and asked with a smile:
"I wonder what price Brother Lian has prepared for me?"
Lian Yunxiao tapped the jadeite finger on the table next to him, and a tray suddenly appeared on the table out of thin air.
It's obvious that his jade ring is a magic weapon for storage.
On the tray, there was a flawless white jade vial and a pill that was crystal clear, as if carved from crystal, but exuded a strange fragrance.
"This is a 'spiritual elixir'. It is a spiritual elixir made from thousand-year-old fish and dragon wood as the main material, supplemented by countless spiritual materials and precious medicines. It can improve the cultivation of the soul and even the potential of the soul. It can be used until the fourth level is achieved.
.I can give you twelve of these elixirs every year."
Mental elixir?
Will you become a energetic guy after taking it?
Shen Lang was complaining in his heart, and at the same time he was lamenting Lian Yunxiao's generosity.
Ichthyosaur wood is extinct in the world. It is said that only two royal masters still have the aniseed material of Ichthyosaur wood that they have collected since the founding of the country.
Now it seems that the Ichthyosaurus aniseed material in the hands of the two royal masters is not an ordinary material, but a thousand-year-old spiritual material!
How powerful should the elixir refined from this spiritual material be?
Improve the potential of the soul...
For such elixirs, not to mention twelve a year, even if they are only given one a year, there must be a lot of monks who have enough IQ but are unable to advance to the next level because of insufficient soul potential. They are willing to work for Lian Yunxiao.
.
Like Zhong Yuanzhi and Wang Anguo, they were staring intently at the crystal-like elixir at the moment, their throats were rising and falling, and their saliva was about to drip out. Occasionally, when they glanced at Shen Lang, their eyes were full of envy and jealousy.
However, this is not the end.
After Lian Yunxiao showed off the "Spiritual Pill" with a strange name, he tapped the finger on the table again with a thumb ring.
This time, a palm-sized golden flag appeared on the table:
"The golden light eye-killing flag is a fourth-grade magic weapon. It can be activated by the power of the soul to emit an eye-killing golden light. Monks below the fourth grade and warriors below the third grade cannot block it. Under the golden light, they will become unable to see, just like a blind man.
.
"Even the warrior's Qi induction and the monk's spiritual lock will be completely disturbed and confused. Holding this flag, any monk below the fourth grade or warrior below the third grade will become a living target for you to slaughter.
"Even if you are an invincible fourth-grade monk or third-grade warrior, your senses will be strongly disturbed, enough to create an escape opportunity for you."
Next, Lian Yunxiao tapped the eucalyptus with his finger again. This time, what appeared was a pair of liver on a plate.
However, the display of this pair of fresh livers did not make anyone feel intimidated. Shen Lang even stared at the pair of fresh livers intently, his mouth watering, and he was so greedy.
Lian Yunxiao said calmly:
"Dragon liver, a supreme delicacy, is priceless but not marketable. The emperor only had the opportunity to eat it during the Chinese New Year. It can strengthen the body, nourish qi and blood, preserve the appearance and beauty, and prolong life. It is great for Taoist monks like us who do not exercise often.
It is the best supplement. Long-term consumption can make our body, energy and blood as strong as those of middle and third-grade warriors.
"I don't know how many fifth-level warriors out there who are unable to condense the true energy seeds on their own. They can't even get a 'Zhenhua Pill' refined with the blood of dragons. But I can enjoy at least a whole set of dragons every month.
Liver is such a delicacy. If you do something for me, I can allow you to enjoy one every six months."
After that, he clapped his hands gently again.
Amidst the sound of light footsteps and the scent of fragrance, two twin girls who looked exactly the same, except that one had a mole on the left corner of her eye and the other on the right corner, walked into the hall.
These twin girls looked to be only eighteen or nineteen years old. They were both so charming and charming, and their temperaments were so charming that I felt pity for them.
Lian Yunxiao said calmly:
"My elder sister is called Meinu, and my younger sister is called Jiaonu. Both sisters are virgins and are early-stage fourth-grade warriors. As long as you agree to serve me, they will be yours. No matter how you treat them, they will not
Not even a word of complaint. Even if you tell them to die, they won’t even frown."
The twin girls walked up to Shen Lang, bowed to him, and said softly:
"Meet Mr. Shen."
After that, Lian Yunxiao took out another stack of banknotes and placed them on the eucalyptus:
"The silver notes issued by the Imperial Court No. 'Huitong' total 10,000 silver dollars, which can be redeemed immediately. Every year from now on, you can get at least 10,000 silver dollars. If you make meritorious deeds, you will receive a generous reward."
At this point, Lian Yunxiao had finally finished laying out the price he offered Shen Lang:
Twelve spiritual pills every year, a dragon's liver every half a year, a basic salary of ten thousand silver dollars a year, a fourth-grade magic weapon with great practical value, and a pair of beautiful twin girls.
To be honest, Shen Lang himself didn't know that he was so valuable.
"Senior Brother Lian...in your eyes, do I actually have such a high price?"
Lian Yunxiao gave a stiff smile:
"You are worth the price."
Shen Lang was puzzled:
"Why? If it's just cultivation ability and combat talent... I think Senior Brother Lian wouldn't think so highly of him."
Lian Yunxiao said calmly:
"Perhaps it's not that I underestimate you, but that you underestimate yourself?"
Shen Lang was shocked:
Has it been exposed that my brother is a rare prodigy in both law and martial arts?
However, Lian Yunxiao's next words made him understand that it was just a false alarm.
"It is true that if we only look at cultivation talents and combat talents, although there are few talents like you, it does not mean that there is no one else besides you. However, those who can win Mu Qingxue, Yan Tianying, and Wanfa Zhenren like you can
Someone who values and trusts me... I’m afraid I won’t be able to find anyone else in the world.”
really!
Lian Yunxiao was so generous in wooing me because he really took a fancy to my relationship with Mu Qingxue and Yan Tianying!
He knows that Mu Qingxue and Yan Tianying both value me, and he also knows that because of this importance, if he wants to win me over, he must spend a lot of money and offer a high price!
And with such a price, Yan Tianying and Shencat Hall cannot afford it no matter what - Yan Tianying is so poor, and Shencat Hall's funds are constantly being cut, so the reason why Shencat Hall can barely maintain it is
The spiritual welfare of the church leaders depends entirely on the generous sponsorship of Wanfa Zhenren.
But Wanfa Zhenren’s sponsorship for Shencatang didn’t just fall out of thin air.
When she was young, she once encountered the former real person's palace by chance, but the resources of the palace were only enough for her to cultivate to the first level.
The training resources that were sponsored to the leaders of the Shen Cat Hall were either obtained by Wan Fa Zhenren and Yan Tianying in the Yunding Demon Palace, or were obtained by Wan Fa Zhenren in exchange for refined elixirs and magic weapons.
Grapevine:
The beauty elixirs, skin care elixirs, weight loss elixirs, and shaping underwear refined by Wanfa Zhenren are very popular among aristocratic ladies and ladies, and demand exceeds supply.
Wan Fa Zhenren earned countless gold and silver through this, but most of them were filled into the bottomless pit of Shen Cat Hall.
Poor Master Wanfa, a "genius disease" patient who doesn't look down on ordinary people, in order to support Yan Tianying's career, he did not hesitate to run a beauty industry that serves ordinary people with the dignity of a first-class real person. It is really sad...
In short, given the current situation of Shenqitang, normal salary and normal training benefits can be barely guaranteed.
But if you want to make a fortune, enjoy all kinds of beauties, and even get better training benefits and the best delicacies, that is really not what Shenqitang can provide.
Just as he was sighing secretly, Lian Yunxiao said again:
"The Shenpaitang takes too much control, adheres to the rules, and is merciless. It has already attracted the hostility of countless people in both the government and the public.
"During the meeting of the imperial court a few days ago, another high-ranking official came forward. The power of the Shenhuatang was too great, and they requested that the authority of the Shenhuatang be restricted. They would no longer allow the Shenhuatang to investigate at will and arrest court officials and nobles. The only option is
Investigate various murders, bandits, cults...
"The implication is to build the Shenqitang into a sharp knife specially designed to deal with Jianghu people. This memorial proposal has been approved by most people in the civil and military circles of the court, and His Majesty is also very moved."
After a pause, he stared at Shen Lang and said slowly:
"If this proposal is passed, the funding of Shenqi Hall will be cut again.
"At that time, Shen Lang, a low-level headhunter with low qualifications and low cultivation level, you can get three to four hundred silver dollars a year, including the bounties for breaking the case, catching theft, and suppressing the bandits, which is pretty good.
Cultivation resources will also be greatly reduced. As for the future...
"To be honest, the Shencat Hall established during the reign of Emperor Taizu can no longer keep up with the development of the times and should be eliminated."
Hearing this, Shen Lang laughed:
"Senior Brother, whether Shenhuatang should be eliminated or not, it doesn't count for you. The civil and military officials of the entire dynasty, the royal nobles, and even the current emperor don't count. The leader of all heroes, Yan Tianying, who is unparalleled in the world.
If you say Shenbat Hall should exist, Shenbat Hall will always exist.”
He stood up, took a look at the two beauties, then looked at the elixir, magic weapon, dragon liver, and banknotes on the eucalyptus, shook his head and sighed:
"I like and want them all, including treasures, beauties, elixirs and delicacies. But what I like and want the most, you can't give me!"
Lian Yunxiao said calmly:
"What exactly do you want?"
What do I want?
[I want this day, no longer able to cover my eyes, I want this land, no longer able to bury my heart...]
Xiao Zhao, Xiao Yu, and Xiao Tuji had a clear understanding of each other and sang in unison, artificially playing B gm for Shen Lang.
Shen Lang laughed loudly under the glare of Zhong Yuanzhi and Wang Anguo:
"Stop asking, you really can't give me what I want..."
After saying that, he just turned around and left without saying goodbye.
"Do you really want to reject me?"
Lian Yunxiao's mouth twitched slightly, and his eyes became completely indifferent:
"Think clearly, the consequences of rejecting me will be serious."
"Really?" Shen Lang kept walking and laughed, "Then I'll wait and see!"
