Chapter five hundred and eighty sixth visit for advice
"Infinite Blessings Heavenly Venerable, Fellow Taoist Shi, you are finally here."
"I've met Brother Dao."
Outside the main hall, upon hearing the news of Shi Tai's arrival, Liu Hunkang immediately went out to greet him in person. He had been a friend for many years, so he didn't have too many polite words. After saying a few words, they entered the hall.
"How are you preparing for that?"
The guests and the host were seated, and a Taoist boy served fragrant tea. However, Shitai was not in a hurry to taste it. Instead, he asked directly.
"Things went smoother than expected. I just mentioned it to the officials and received a positive reply." Liu Hunkang picked up the tea bowl, took a sip, and continued,
"To be honest, the official family has changed a lot since he ascended the throne. It is completely different from the former King Duan."
"Oh!" Shi Tai was startled for a moment, then curious in his heart, he asked,
"How different?"
"It's like a new life, unfathomable." Liu Hunkang replied, with an inexplicable look in his eyes.
"That's it."
Shi Tai looked slightly surprised. You should know that he had not left Bianjing for a long time, and he had met Zhao Ji last time.
He knew the temperament of this Prince Duan very well. He was no less a dandy prince than Li Yu, the empress of the Southern Tang Dynasty. He was somewhat reluctant to inherit the throne.
Of course, the other party was fond of Tao Muxuan and was the person chosen by the Taoist sect. Even if he had any objections in his heart, he would not object. However, he never expected that the other party would receive such an evaluation from Liu Hunkang?
"Brother Dao, do you think there's something fishy about this?"
"The secret is unpredictable?" Liu Hunkang shook his head slightly and continued,
"Pindao once used the divine number of crape myrtle to calculate, but it turned out to be chaotic and nothing was gained."
"Even Tianji has been deceived. Could it be that there is another master behind it?" After a pause, Shi Tai's expression suddenly changed and he guessed,
"Could it be that fellow Daoist Chu?"
"maybe."
Liu Hunkang nodded. In fact, he also had such a guess in his mind. After all, the character of the official family has indeed changed a lot compared with the past.
In addition, he had also heard that before King Duan ascended the throne, he personally visited the Chu Mansion and had a pleasant conversation with him, which showed that they had a good relationship. As for whether Chu Feng had done anything, there was no way of knowing.
After thinking for a while, he seemed to suddenly think of something, and said with a smile,
"Actually, the current situation is actually a good thing. Besides, as long as the officials are as close to our Taoist sect as before, then no matter how it changes, what does it matter?"
Hearing this, Shi Tai couldn't help but nodded and stopped worrying about the matter. He picked up the tea bowl and took a sip, but the topic suddenly changed.
"There's something I don't know whether to ask or not?"
"Why should this be the case between you and me? Fellow Taoist, just speak out if you have something to say."
"It's not a big deal. It's just that when I came in, I saw countless young and strong men outside. It was really confusing?"
"That's it." Liu Hunchang suddenly understood, and then he laughed and said,
"By asking this, fellow Taoist, are you doubting Pindao?"
"Brother Dao, I'm worried too much. I'm just confused and want to find out." Shi Tai shook his head slightly.
"Even if fellow Taoist don't ask about this, I will explain it in detail. In fact, these are the instructions of Senior Tian Longzi." At this point, Liu Hunkang suddenly stopped and his expression became solemn.
"A few days ago, Senior Tian Longzi sent his disciples over to conduct a re-detection of the Eclipse Sun Formation. He concluded that the Yin and Evil Qi there was getting more and more serious, and the original Yin and Yang Dragon Training Formation could not be used to transform it without fail.
Therefore, an improvement was made based on the original formation."
"Improvement!" Shi Tai frowned and then asked,
"Is it possible that these improvements will require those young and strong men?"
"Fellow Taoist has a keen mind and guessed the connection at a glance." Liu Hunkang nodded and glanced at the little Taoist boy behind him, as if he was hesitant to speak. He did not speak, but suddenly secretly conveyed
sound path,
"After the improved formation, it is necessary to add a thousand young and strong men to supplement the deficiencies of the formation with their essence, blood and yang energy. By then..."
As Liu Hunkang narrated, Shi Tai, who was only slightly skeptical at first, became increasingly ugly.
"No, I don't agree with this. What's the difference between doing this and being a demon?"
"Fellow Taoist, calm down." Liu Hunkang hurriedly comforted him and then said,
"I don't want to, but this is Senior Tian Longzi's suggestion. What if problems arise if we don't adopt it? At that time, it will no longer be a matter of a thousand people, but a catastrophe involving the entire Bianjing City and even the entire world.
"
"Tian Longzi, Tian Longzi!"
Mentioning this person, Shi Tai's expression revealed a hint of unspeakable complexity. The person was a senior in the practice world and a master of formations. He must have made such a suggestion after careful consideration.
But, so what, if you really do this, wouldn’t it be a waste of human life?
"Brother Dao, have you ever thought about the consequences?"
"Of course I've thought about it." Liu Hunkang suddenly sighed,
"This incident is contrary to the philosophy that we have adhered to for many years. Afterwards, all the Taoist friends who participated in it may have their Taoist hearts collapse and become possessed."
Having said this, he fell silent and stopped talking. Shi Tai looked solemn and his thoughts were disturbed.
There are a lot of fellow Taoists invited to participate in this operation this time, and they are all elders with extremely high levels of cultivation in each sect. If something goes wrong, it will be a huge disaster for the entire cultivation world.
blow.
Suddenly, as if something suddenly occurred to him, he suddenly said,
"If you don't want to make a decision in advance, why not ask Fellow Daoist Chu what your opinion is?"
"Huh?" Liu Hunkang was startled for a moment, and then his face lit up with joy. When he was a guest in the Chu Mansion before, he had communicated with Chu Feng to confirm the Taoism, so he naturally understood how powerful the other party was.
"That's right, Fellow Daoist Chu's cultivation level is unfathomable. There may be other ways. There are still a few months to go. How about you and I find a time to visit together?"
"Brother Taoist, these words are very kind."
…
"Ah, sir, when did you come back?"
In the Chu Mansion, Xiao Cui was carrying a copper basin into the bedroom, planning to tidy up the room. When she saw the figure of her young master, she couldn't help but feel happy, and asked softly.
Her young master would disappear mysteriously at every turn, and she had long been accustomed to such situations. Therefore, although she was happy, she was not too surprised.
"I just came back." Chu Feng smiled and asked casually,
"Is there anything going on in the house if you haven't been here for the past few days?"
"There is nothing else, but Mr. Lu came here once yesterday. Seeing that he was not here, he left a letter." "Lu Wenyang?"
Chu Feng looked slightly surprised, but he was guessing that it must be about Lu Xiaomei. It was the critical moment of the provincial examination. If it hadn't been for this matter, the other party would never have come out to waste time.
"Where is the letter?"
"I've put it in the study. Master, please wait a moment."
Xiaocui put down the copper basin in her hand and trotted out of the room.
Seeing this, Chu Feng couldn't help but laugh. This girl is still so reckless.
Suddenly, Lu Ruolan suddenly came to mind again. It was not surprising that such a top-notch cultivation physique was born in the original fairy-level world.
However, it is also extremely rare. If there were no problems in the world, the great prosperity of the immortal world would have been snatched by various sects long ago. How could it be delayed until now?
"I hope I can convince the Lu family, otherwise it would be a pity."
Xiaocui had a hot temper and ran back after a while. In his hand, he was holding an unopened letter.
"Mr...Mr., this is it."
"It's not even an hour and a half away. Why are you running in such a hurry? Go and take a rest."
"knew."
Hearing the ridicule in her young master's words, Xiao Cui immediately blushed and whispered back. However, she did not rest. Instead, she wet the rag from the copper basin and began to wipe the tables and chairs.
Chu Feng shook his head slightly, ignored the other party, and immediately began to read the letter. After reading the contents, a smile could not help but appear in his eyes.
"I didn't expect that this girl would be so decisive. She made the decision in just one night."
Chu Feng praised Lu Ruolan's no-nonsense approach. He had never noticed that the other party had such a resolute and resolute personality before.
"Master already plans to accept Lu Ruolan as his disciple?"
Suddenly, Xiao Zi's question suddenly came to his mind. However, for some reason, there was a hint of hesitation in his words.
"What's wrong? Is there something wrong?" Chu Feng was a little surprised and said through a message.
"Lu Ruolan is an innate Yimu body. Once she steps into the path of immortality, her future potential will be limitless." After a pause, Xiaozi suddenly changed her voice and said again,
"But, has the master forgotten the situation in this world? If you want to cultivate it, it will definitely consume a lot of resources. Considering the situation in this world, it is a bit reluctant."
"That's what you're worried about."
Chu Feng smiled, but didn't care.
He had naturally considered this point a long time ago. Although the spiritual energy in this world is a bit thin, it is not that bad, and it will not have any impact just because Lu Ruolan passed by.
Furthermore, with Lu Ruolan's qualifications, as long as he starts practicing, he will definitely be able to make rapid progress in an extremely short time, and he will have a helper in the future, so why not do it.
After a pause, he suddenly sighed,
"The road ahead is uncertain. One more person will bring more strength. Perhaps this small step may become the key to victory?"
"Master is thoughtful." Xiao Zijiao smiled and then said,
"In this case, we need to seriously consider her cultivation path."
"What do you suggest?"
"Since he has an innate Yimu body, he must be talented in formations and refining medicine, which can be his main direction."
"Array formation, refining medicine."
Chu Feng was thinking in his mind. There were countless cultivation classics in his mind. Therefore, it was not a problem what to choose. The key was to find one that suited him.
Refining medicine? My situation is special and I don’t need it at all. What medicine can compare to Xiao Zi’s origin?
Of course, some high-level elixirs are excluded. However, in terms of the concentration of spiritual energy in this world, even some old spiritual grasses cannot grow. How can they be refined? As for ordinary elixirs, they cannot be used once.
Secondly, he can also refine it himself, so he doesn't need the other party at all.
In this case, the formation is more suitable. If the opponent is talented enough and has the help of top-level formation books provided by himself, he will definitely be able to achieve something in a short time.
"Da da da……"
While he was thinking, suddenly, a sound of footsteps came from outside, interrupting his meditation.
"Go and see what's going on?"
After hearing the instructions, Xiaocui immediately put down her work and turned around and walked out of the room.
"Young master, this is Xiaoliu. He said that two old Taoist priests came from outside. One of them is Taoist priest Liu who came to the mansion as a guest a few days ago."
"You two?" Chu Feng's heart moved, and his consciousness instantly released. The next moment, he suddenly smiled and said,
"Go and invite them to the lobby in person. I'll be there later."
"My maid, go right away."
Xiao Cui nodded and then stepped out of the room again.
Chu Feng did not leave immediately, but began to think in his heart. The person who came was none other than Liu Hunkang, and there was also an acquaintance, Cuixuan Taoist Shi Tai.
However, for some reason, the two of them looked a little heavy, as if they had encountered something difficult.
The formation arrangement has not yet begun. Apart from making some preparations, what else can make these two people so embarrassed?
You must know that not only are the two of them extremely powerful, but they also have vast connections, and there is no shortage of disciples around them. It will definitely not be easy for the two of them to be able to do anything in the world.
Thinking of this, Chu Feng probably made a trade-off in his mind, and then stood up and walked towards the lobby.
…
"Blessed is the Immeasurable Heavenly Lord. It's been a long time since we parted. My Taoist friend Chu has made great progress in his cultivation. It's really gratifying and congratulatory. Congratulations to me, the poor Taoist."
"We meet again. Brother Tao is even more charming than before. It is Mr. Chu who deserves the most congratulations."
"We are all our own people, why should we be so polite?"
"What Brother Liu said is timely. Take a seat quickly and have a taste of the Xuefongsong collected by Mr. Chu. This is the best spiritual tea produced in the East China Sea."
After some pleasantries, the atmosphere in the lobby suddenly became more relaxed. The relationship between the three people could not help but become a little closer.
"Xue Wusong!" Liu Hunkang asked with a hint of surprise in his eyes,
"I am a very knowledgeable person, but how come I have never heard of this kind of spiritual tea?"
"I went to the East China Sea a few days ago and got some by chance."
Chu Feng spoke vaguely, but it was not that easy to hear it in the other party's ears. Especially Liu Hunkang, he knew clearly that the other party had inquired about the location of Sanzun Island overseas.
"Fellow Taoist went to the East China Sea, could it be..."
"Don't say it, don't say it before the time comes."
Chu Feng nodded and acquiesced to the other party's guess. However, he had no intention of discussing the matter and instead said,
"This spiritual tea contains rich spiritual energy, which is very beneficial to practitioners. You two may wish to give it a try."
Hearing this, Liu Hunchang's heart suddenly moved. He stopped asking and took a sip from the tea bowl. As for Shi Tai, although he couldn't figure out the meaning between the two, he was smart enough not to speak.
"Good tea, it is indeed an extraordinary product. Being able to obtain this spiritual tea, Taoist friend Chu, shows that you are deeply blessed."
"Yes, now that the spiritual energy between heaven and earth is getting thinner and thinner, it is difficult to see this kind of spiritual tea that can only be produced by spiritual roots."
The two old Taoists seemed to be thinking about their current situation and couldn't help but sigh.
"If you two don't mind, you can take some with you when you leave."
"How is this possible!"
Not only Liu Hunkang, but also Shi Tai refused immediately. As the so-called rare thing is valuable, this kind of spiritual object is already very rare to see. No matter how much they thought about it, they couldn't agree.
"Lingcha is just a trivial matter, so you two Taoist brothers don't have to be polite." Chu Feng shook his head slightly. When he came out of Sanzun Island, he brought out many good things, and Lingcha was just one of them. After a pause,
Suddenly asked,
"You two came to the mansion today. Do you think you have something to do?"
