Chapter 148 Negotiation (Congratulations to the Silver Alliance!)
"How is this going?"
It's still the Southern Wilderness Cultivation World, in an underground cave.
Fang Xi sat cross-legged.
However, his spiritual consciousness can see another perspective through the bronze mirror.
The water is gurgling and the waves are sparkling...
Pebbles are scattered all over the bottom of the stream, there are overgrown aquatic plants, and fish and shrimps are swimming...
Looking around further, Fang Xi found that her consciousness was not enough.
"After establishing the foundation of my spiritual consciousness, I can already detect a radius of fifty feet. How come it's only five feet here?"
He had some doubts in his heart.
It seems that after traveling across the world, or in other words, through the consumption of the connection between the worlds, his consciousness there was horribly suppressed!
"Wait, who is 'I'?"
Fang Xi glanced at himself with his consciousness and saw half a bronze mirror-like object lying quietly at the bottom of the river.
The edges of this bronze mirror fragment show jagged cracks, and there are traces of seal carvings on the surface. The lines are rough, as if they were formed naturally.
"This fragment seems to be part of the bronze mirror in my sea of consciousness?"
"Am I using it as the center to spread my consciousness around?"
"Oops... I only have spiritual consciousness and can't move it!"
"How should I recover this fragment?"
…
Fang Xi felt a pain in her head.
Moreover, if you keep your spiritual consciousness connected all the time, you will gradually feel tired.
Therefore, he took back his consciousness and severed the connection with the bronze mirror fragments of that world.
"It is known... that I can connect with the fragments of another world through the bronze mirror, and use that fragment as an anchor to release my spiritual consciousness..."
"Other than that, it seems impossible to do anything else."
"Of course I know that Lingbao's instinct is to reunite the fragments, but how can I put them all together... I can't get through it..."
Fang Xi was speechless for a while.
He also hoped that when he opened the door, there would be the immortal world on the other side. From then on, there would be no shortage of skills, treasures, and elixirs, and he could easily transform into a god, achieve enlightenment, and ascend to heaven!
Is this the result?
"This golden finger is broken!"
"Forget it, I'd better go back and work hard for fifty years!"
…
Baize Fairy City.
Outer city.
Mingqing Pavilion.
The pavilion is elegantly furnished, and when Fang Xi entered, there were musicians playing.
"Senior, you..."
A beautiful middle-aged woman came up to her. When she saw Fang Xi, a trace of suspicion flashed in her eyes: "Is your surname Fang?"
"That's right. Fellow Daoist Lu Zhi has already booked a private room, right? Lead the way..."
Fang Xi nodded and glanced at the beautiful middle-aged woman again: "Fairy Yunmeng, I haven't seen you for many years... We were able to get to know each other thanks to the introduction by fellow Taoist Chen Ping."
"yes……"
This beautiful woman is Fairy Yunmeng. When she mentioned Chen Ping, an unnatural look flashed across her face.
She thought about how short-sighted she and others were when they kicked out the current foundation-building monk for the sake of a so-called distinguished guest. She couldn't help but feel uneasy, fearing that the other party would blame her.
After all, she failed to attack the foundation in her early years, and was later arranged to take over the family business, and has been gradually eliminated from the core of the family.
A squeak!
The private room door opened and several people were sitting inside.
Lu Zhi was also there, followed by a white-haired, skinny old man with age spots on his face. You could vaguely see what Chen Ping looked like back then.
In addition, there is a big man in purple robes, with a wide forehead and big eyes, a formidable appearance, and his cultivation level is around the early stage of foundation building.
The big man in purple robe couldn't help but smile when he saw Fang Xi: "But Fellow Taoist Fang Xi? I am Xu Shuolei, the supreme elder of the Qingye Xu family."
“I’ve met fellow Daoist Xu!”
Fang Xi sat down and saw Fairy Yunmeng wanting to leave, so she said: "This matter is also related to you, so why don't you leave a message."
Fairy Yunmeng immediately trembled and looked at her ancestor with pleading eyes.
The clinker Xu Shuolei turned a blind eye: "In that case, Yun'er, you can stay and make tea..."
"yes!"
Fairy Yunmeng knelt down in front of the tea table, bowed first, and then started ordering tea...
The subtle fragrance of tea is elegant...
Fang Xi first looked at Fairy Yunmeng, then at Lu Zhi, and couldn't help but sigh secretly.
Fairy Yunmeng looked like she had taken some elixirs such as the Beauty Pill. She is now in her fifties and sixties but she is still beautiful.
In comparison, Lu Zhi must have suffered a lot in recent years.
Of course, what was even more painful was Chen Ping next to him. When he saw Fang Xi, he was so choked up that he could not speak and burst into tears.
Feeling this man's vitality like a candle in the wind, Fang Xi sighed.
This sigh broke the silent atmosphere in the box.
Xu Shuolei spoke with righteousness and righteousness: "Our Qingye Xu family has never engaged in kidnapping. Chen Ping and Chen Daoyou were warmly invited by our Xu family to serve as my Xu family's guest minister. They have never been imprisoned.
Persecution and other things... Chen Daoyou, do you think so?"
Chen Ping was startled and nodded quickly: "Yes, yes..."
Fang Xi smiled slightly: "It turned out to be a misunderstanding, so that's the best thing. It's just that Chen Ping is my childhood friend, and now he wants to spend his remaining years in Baize Fairy City. Do you know the Xu family?"
"My Xu family naturally supports me! Fellow Taoist Chen Ping has worked hard and made great achievements. I should give him a house in an outer city for his retirement!"
Xu Shuolei assured with a big chest.
"That being the case, I don't have anything else to say... just Fairy Yunmeng here?"
Fang Xi asked tentatively.
Xu Shuolei raised his eyebrows: "Yun'er has offended many times before. I apologized on her behalf. The family will punish her severely later and order her to pay a sum of spiritual stones to Chen Keqing..."
"Fellow Daoist Xu is fair and strict in his dealings, I admire him..."
Fang Xi had nothing to say, so she clasped her fists, got up with Lu Zhi and Chen Ping, and left.
…
After the three people left, Fairy Yunmeng looked at her ancestor anxiously: "Ancestor..."
"Yun'er, you want to ask the ancestor why he let Chen Ping go?"
Xu Shuolei sipped the tea with a smile: "This person has exhausted his usefulness and his life expectancy is only a month. Does he want to die in my house and prove his reputation as a mistreater?"
Fairy Yunmeng suddenly realized: "So our ancestors are here for fame?"
"After all, we are a righteous family, so we have to pay attention to our face... Besides, this person has been planted by us. He is not allowed to take a step outside Baize Fairy City, nor is he allowed to ruin my family's reputation. He lives in my family's house, which is equivalent to still being under surveillance in my family.
Next, it’s just a change of place, and the talisman inheritance is also left behind... Now there is a foundation-building guest from Baize Immortal City interceding, so let’s sell it to save face.”
"Besides, this person's Taoist companion Lu Zhi has always been under our control. Even before he died, we wouldn't dare to do anything...unless we ignore his family!"
The foundation-building monks are all ancestors of one party and at the top of the force, so they won't fight or kill unless necessary.
After all, if you have a lifespan of 200 years, why bother working so hard? Enjoying life is what matters.
Xu Shuolei shook his head and felt a little regretful: "It's just a pity that this person has been in my family for many years, but he has not given birth to a descendant with spiritual roots and spiritual bodies... It seems that the strong melon is not sweet after all."
Fairy Yunmeng couldn't help but blush slightly after hearing this.
…
On the street.
Lu Zhi supported Chen Ping, walking slowly forward like two ordinary country old couples.
Chen Ping, on the other hand, kept darting his eyes around, looking at the scenery around him, as if he couldn't get enough of it.
"Fellow Daoist Fang... no, Senior Fang... I won't thank you for your kindness!"
Before arriving at the residence, he suddenly and solemnly saluted Fang Xi.
"We are friends after all, it's just a matter of effort..."
Fang Xi hurriedly helped her, and then a bloody jade slip was stuffed in her hand.
He put it away calmly, watched Chen Ping and Lu Zhi enter the house, turned around and left.
…
"Chen Ping will never forget the kindness of fellow Taoist friends. He can only give it to him with his life's hard work..."
"This Taoist talisman is passed down to fellow Taoists for appreciation. It may be passed on to Lu Zhi's descendants in the future..."
Yanliu Lane, Building 87.
Fang Xi took the bloody jade slip and saw Chen Ping's message at the beginning.
"The heir left to Lu Zhi? Aren't those the children of Zong Talisman Master?"
"Back then, Zong Talisman Master was very likely to be used as a blood sacrifice material to activate the blood talisman spirit body..."
He murmured to himself, what does Chen Ping do? Is it guilt and compensation?
"Human nature...is such a complicated thing."
Fang Xi continued to read and found that the talisman inheritance in the jade slips had reached the second level of high quality!
It even vaguely touches the third level!
"The blood talisman spirit body is worthy of the talisman Tao..."
"It's a pity that my talisman skills are only at the first-level mid-level level... Do I have to draw talismans to earn spiritual stones in the future?"
Fang Xi thought for a while and put away the jade slip.
At this time, Fairy Tengluo walked in wearing a translucent palace dress: "Senior..."
Her voice is delicate and soft to the bone.
"Fairy Tengluo... Thank you for your help these days. Let me take these spiritual stones as reward."
Fang Xi's face was cold and she threw out a few spiritual stones.
Fairy Tengluo's expression changed, and her pretty face turned extremely pale: "Senior?"
"Let's go!"
Fang Xi waved her hand and didn't want to say more.
Among mortals, the more powerful the family, the more important it is to know guests and disciples. The role is often held by close friends. If you use it well, you can easily communicate with others. If you don't use it well, you will provoke enemies everywhere.
"Senior, what mistake did I make?" Fairy Tengluo bowed in shock.
"The hairpin on your head is nice. Is it a newly purchased magic weapon?"
Fang Xi shook her head: "I just met with fellow Taoist Yuan, and before I agreed, news started flying all over the place... Just these two things, I will have nothing wrong with killing you!"
At the end of the sentence, his voice was fierce and his murderous intent was so terrifying that Fairy Tengluo was so frightened that she backed away: "I'm in the wrong body, I'm in the wrong body..."
"Why don't you get out?!"
Fang Xi shouted loudly, causing Fairy Tengluo to roll and crawl away, looking extremely embarrassed.
He looked at Fairy Wisteria's back and touched her chin, looking thoughtful.
In fact, he already knew that this woman was vain.
Before, he was just following the trend to build momentum for himself, and by the way, he was preparing to rescue Chen Ping.
Nowadays, it has little use value.
Even if you really want to take a concubine, you can't choose a woman who has no eyes and no sense of importance.
"senior……"
At this time, the cute Jin Ling walked in: "Fellow Daoist Tengluo seems to be frightened..."
"Fellow Taoist Jin Ling..."
The expression on Fang Xi's face softened, and she sighed again: "It's all thanks to you these days..."
This girl is quite nice, and she is well behaved when she is welcomed and escorted to her, which is exactly what Fang Xi likes.
