Three hundred and ninetieth chapters show goodwill
Zhan Yingluo drank the spiritual wine in the cup. As a casual cultivator, Xu Chunniang had reached this stage by herself and could become an array master. It was obvious that she had a chance.
What's even more rare is that she looks young.
Although in the world of cultivation, many monks are skilled in beauty, a person's true age can still be more or less revealed.
If she is smart and cultivates her well, she might be able to add another golden elixir-level guest to the Zhan family.
"Go and invite her over."
"yes."
The old man quickly understood that the young lady had developed a love for talents.
Xu Chunniang was a little surprised when she learned that Zhan Yingluo wanted to see her. As a young lady from the Zhan family, why did she suddenly come to see her?
Although she has been observing the formations these past few days, all she can see are the patterns and appearances of the formations' operation, and she thinks there is nothing out of the ordinary in her behavior.
Xu Chunniang had doubts in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face. She followed the old man up to the third floor of Yunzhou.
After the old man brought the person, he spontaneously retreated.
Zhan Yingluo showed a smile and said, "Fellow Taoist, please sit down. I am taking the liberty of doing this. Please don't blame me for being abrupt."
Xu Chunniang sat down as she was told and said, "I wonder what the third lady wants from me?"
"I got this spiritual wine from my great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-grandfather. I would like you to try it and see if it suits your taste."
Zhan Yingluo first poured her a glass of spiritual wine, and then she spoke slowly and clearly.
"I saw that fellow Taoist had been sitting at the back of the boat, seeming to be observing Yunzhou's formation. I guessed that fellow Taoist must be an formation master, so I boldly invited you."
Xu Chunniang nodded slightly. She knew that her actions could not be hidden from the Zhan family, and she never thought about hiding it, so she admitted it frankly.
"I saw that this formation was novel, so I took a few more looks."
"This boat-protecting formation is composed of two third-level water formations as the core, supplemented by ten second-level formations. The protective effect is amazing. Even with the power of Nascent Soul, it can withstand three attacks."
Underneath Zhan Yingluo's calm tone was a kind of calm confidence.
Looking at Pingfeng Island, there are only a few companies that can build such cloud boats.
She poured herself a glass of spiritual wine and took a sip, "Fellow Daoist Xu, can you tell what these ten auxiliary formations are?"
Xu Chunniang thought about it and said, "I can only see four of them."
"Tao friendly eyesight."
Zhan Yingluo showed a hint of appreciation in her eyes and refilled her drink.
"When Yun Zhou is traveling, he will only activate one main formation and four auxiliary formations. The rest of the formations will only be activated when encountering an enemy attack."
Zhan Yingluo was originally only slightly interested in this female cultivator, but now she is really interested in recruiting her.
With the opponent's array talent, if he is lucky enough to form a pill, he will definitely become a great help to the Zhan family in the future.
She thought for a moment, took out a thin bone fragment from the storage ring, and pushed it in front of Xu Chunniang.
"All the auxiliary formations in the boat-protecting formation are recorded here. Since my fellow Taoist is interested in the formation, I will give it to you."
Xu Chunniang is not happy but reacts in alarm. She has no reward for her efforts. How can she take other people's things for nothing?
"This thing is valuable, I can't accept it."
"It doesn't matter. To the Zhan family, this thing is nothing. If you put it here, it will just gather dust."
Zhan Yingluo looked like she didn't care, and that was indeed the case.
In the boat-protecting formation, the two water-based formations are the core, and the auxiliary formations have limited value.
Why not use a small favor to win over an array master?
However, Xu Chunniang still declined, and Zhan Yingluo did not force it. She put away the bone fragments with a calm expression, still talking and laughing.
"I know a lot about the five islands on the southern route. I heard that my Taoist friend was born on an unknown island. I wonder where exactly he is from?"
Zhan Yingluo seemed to be chatting, but in fact she was inquiring about Xu Chunniang's origins.
Xu Chunniang heard what the other party meant, and she had already thought of a way to deal with it regarding her origin.
"The island where I was born has no name, and it was washed away by sea monsters a year ago. I wandered in the sea for a long time, and it wasn't until I met someone from the Cheng family that I was able to come to Nansha Island."
Zhan Yingluo asked some other questions, and Xu Chunniang answered them easily.
After three drinks, Zhan Yingluo insisted on exchanging the soul breath on the token, then stood up and said goodbye with a smile.
"The hunting competition lasts for three months. If nothing happens, sister Xu can come to me at any time."
When she knew that the other party's figure had completely disappeared from sight, she put away the smile on her face.
Zhao Hucheng stepped out of a room and said, "Miss Third."
"But what can you tell? Is what she said true or false?"
Zhao Hucheng has the ability to detect the authenticity of other people's words within a certain range.
This is also the reason why Zhan Yingluo attaches great importance to him even though he only has the early stage of Jindan cultivation.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Hucheng, who had always been successful, shook his head this time.
"Her consciousness is very powerful, and I couldn't sense any fluctuations in her soul. This would arouse suspicion, so I gave up after trying it twice with no effect."
When a monk lies, the fluctuations of his soul will show abnormalities, and the technique he practices is based on this.
Zhan Yingluo frowned slightly, "What's the point? Is it possible that her consciousness is stronger than yours?"
Zhao Hucheng also failed when he used this technique.
It's just that in most cases, it will fail when it is used on people whose spiritual consciousness is not weaker than his.
This is the first time that he has failed against a foundation-building monk.
Zhao Hucheng turned his eyes and said, "Perhaps she has a secret treasure of spiritual consciousness."
Zhan Yingluo reluctantly accepted this statement.
"Since you can't feel it, forget it. In my opinion, what she said is 80% true."
Only monks who came from a small island and were short-sighted would stay in the Cheng family library for several months.
"Although Xu Chunniang has some talent in formations, she doesn't know how to deal with the world."
Zhao Hucheng nodded slightly, "Such people generally don't lie."
"Being flexible is actually a good thing under certain circumstances. If such a person is sincerely loyal to the Zhan family, there is no need to worry about her betrayal in the future."
Zhao Hucheng was slightly startled, "Why didn't the third lady mention the solicitation just now?"
"If you want the other party to surrender to me sincerely, that's called recruiting. If the other party just succumbs to the power of my Zhan family, then naturally, in the future, he can also succumb to a force stronger than my Zhan family."
Zhao Hucheng couldn't help but be convinced that the third lady was indeed a member of the Zhan family and knew how to control people.
Zhan Yingluo called it off, and after sending Zhao Hucheng away, she called in the old man who had been guarding the entrance to the third floor of Yunzhou.
"Uncle Fu, has Cheng Qingjia agreed to my request?"
Zhan Fu bowed slightly, his tone slightly dissatisfied.
"Miss, that guy doesn't know what's good or bad. Not only did he reject my proposal, he also said that he should work hard to practice and regain the glory of his ancestors."
