Chen Hao couldn't laugh or cry: "Master Yu, what you said is too exaggerated. It's just a sundial that can automatically record time. How can it be related to the survival and development of the cultivation sect?"
Yu Haojie sneered: "You just said it was a sundial on the surface, but there is another mystery behind it.
Why, have you changed your story now?"
Chen Haodao: "You misunderstood. There is another mystery because I discovered that there is a miniature formation inside the sundial. As long as the shadow needle is pulled out, it will be revealed. It can sense the richness of the spiritual energy. I was doing experiments around Tian Yao just now.
.”
When everyone heard this, they curled their lips.
This explanation is too clumsy.
Even monks who are in the early stage of Qi refining can easily sense whether the spiritual energy is strong or not. Engraving such a miniature formation on a small treasure is a waste of time.
Yu Haojie said sarcastically: "Fellow Daoist An, do you think this explanation can convince everyone?"
Chen Hao showed an angry look: "You understand, this is what I bought. Explanation is a favor, not explaining is a duty. Whether you believe it or not is none of my business."
He looked at the people in Wuqingshan who were blocking him and said sternly: "Get out of the way!"
Everyone remained motionless and looked at him coldly: "Master Yu, what do you mean?"
Chen Hao said solemnly: "Do you want to break the rules of the city and do something to me?"
Yu Haojie said: "Fellow Daoist An, according to the rules of the market, you bought the sundial, and others have no right to interfere. You are indeed free to come and go, but the sundial can sense the spiritual stone. After more than two thousand years of spiritual energy decline,
For us who are suffering from a shortage of resources, it is like a life-saving straw, so I said it is related to the survival and development of all cultivation sects. This is by no means an exaggeration."
Chen Hao said with a cold face: "What does this have to do with me?"
Yu Haojie said: "Of course it does matter. Compared with the survival and development of all cultivation sects, the rules of the city are too small to be worth mentioning.
The sundial has such a function and cannot be taken away by you to satisfy your personal desires. It must belong to everyone and be used to benefit various cultivation sects. This is the right way."
His words were so righteous and solemn, and he immediately won a round of applause from everyone.
"Master Yu is right. The sundial is so important that it must be returned to the public and everyone can decide how to use it."
"Fellow Daoist An, you already have so many spirit stones. It would be too greedy to take away the sundial and search for the spirit stone mine yourself."
"My surname is An, let me tell you, if you don't keep the sundial today, don't blame us for being rude."
"Don't use the city's rules as a cover. Rules are made by people, and they can be changed by people!"
...Many monks from the sect shouted, and some even made rude remarks.
Originally, they were jealous when they saw that Chen Hao had a large number of spiritual stones, but now that Chen Hao had obtained a sundial that could sense spiritual stones, how could they endure it.
Yu Haojie said: "Friend Daoist An, as you can see, it's not Qingqingshan that wants to embarrass you, but the voice of everyone.
Do you, Lianyue Palace, really want to break with other cultivation sects?"
With just one word, Chen Hao was pushed to the opposite side of other cultivation sects.
Chen Hao looked anxious: "What I bought is an ordinary sundial. It has no function of sensing spiritual stones. I have just explained it, why don't you believe it?"
Everyone made a disdainful cry.
Wei Xinghua sneered: "If it's an ordinary sundial, then just hand it over. Are you offending all fellow cultivators for an ordinary little treasure?"
Let’s talk about it, right?”
Everyone said in unison: "That's right."
Chen Hao said angrily: "What you say is trivial. I spent a piece of spiritual stone to buy the sundial. If you say I'll hand it over, I'll hand it over. Are you going to compensate for my loss?"
Wei Xinghua's eyes lit up when he heard this: "I've been waiting for you to say this."
He turned to look at the monk selling the sundial: "Hey, fellow Taoist An said that he wants to return the sundial, do you agree?
If you agree, return the spirit stone to fellow Daoist An."
The monk was deeply regretful after losing the sundial. When he heard this, he was overjoyed and said repeatedly: "I agree, this is what it should be!"
He was worried that Chen Hao would regret it, so he immediately took out the spiritual stone, walked to Chen Hao, and offered it with both hands: "Friend Daoist An, the spiritual stone is here, please return the sundial to me."
Wei Xinghua sneered: "Fellow Daoist An, you don't have to worry about losses this time, right?"
Chen Hao turned blue and said angrily: "I like this sundial, so I bought it. In my heart, the value of the sundial is far greater than a piece of spiritual stone.
You forcibly took back the sundial, and even if you returned the spirit stone to me, I would still have lost money, so how should this be calculated?"
Wei Xinghua's face darkened: "My surname is An, don't be so shameless..." "Junior brother."
Yu Haojie waved his hand to stop Wei Xinghua from talking, and looked at Chen Hao: "Fellow Daoist An, how can you satisfy me by making compensation?"
As long as Chen Hao can hand over the sundial, everything else is a trivial matter.
Chen Hao held it in for a long time and said: "I don't want any other compensation, I just want to keep this sundial.
I can swear to God that the sundial has absolutely no function of sensing the spirit stone mine, but I really like it. Master Yu, fellow Taoists of the sect, please don't make things difficult for me, okay?"
When everyone heard this, they were extremely disdainful and thought in their hearts: "You, a monk in the middle stage of foundation construction, would not hesitate to fight with other cultivation sects for a little useless treasure?"
You swear to God, you go to graves and burn newspapers, are you fooling ghosts?"
Yu Haojie said: "Friend Daoist An, I am the most reasonable and fair in Qingqingshan, and of course I will not embarrass you, but we cannot represent other sects.
How about this, it is up to everyone to decide whether you keep the sundial. If everyone does not agree with you to keep the sundial, then you can leave immediately. I guarantee that no one will stop you. But if everyone agrees that you keep the sundial, then
You can’t go against everyone’s will, how about that?”
Chen Hao frowned, as if he wanted to object, but after thinking for a long time, he didn't know what to say, so he could only say: "Okay."
Yu Haojie smiled slightly and said loudly: "Fellow Taoists of the sect, do you agree with Taoist An Peng to keep the sundial?"
Everyone laughed in unison: "I disagree!"
Yu Haojie looked at Chen Hao and said leisurely: "Fellow Daoist An, you heard me, what else do you have to say?"
Chen Hao looked dejected and said helplessly: "Okay, since everyone doesn't agree, then I will hand over the sundial."
Yu Haojie and others breathed a sigh of relief.
After all, Chen Hao is a monk in the middle stage of foundation building and has strong cultivation. It is best if he is willing to take the initiative to hand over the sundial.
If Chen Hao refused to surrender and ran away, it would be difficult for them to stop him. Even if they used a large formation to forcefully intercept him, they would still have to pay a high price.
Chen Hao emphasized: "But the premise for me to hand over the sundial is that I must be given sufficient compensation."
Yu Haojie said: "No problem, I'll have someone buy you whatever you want, but you have to stop it in moderation. A large amount of valuable resources is definitely not enough."
Although Chen Hao agreed to hand over the sundial, he could not let him open his mouth.
Chen Hao snorted: "I know."
He pulled Tian Yao and walked to the exhibition stand, choosing the little treasures he liked and some materials he didn't have.
