Chapter 75: Prepare for a Rainy Day

Although Fu Qingqiong looked at Xiao Mian in disbelief and thought for a long time, he still put the three bottles of Mu Zhongjin into his storage bag.

"No matter how sincere you are in what you said just now, this Mu Zhongjin is indeed a treasure of the sect and is very important. I will accept your wishes on behalf of the sect!" Xiao Mian lowered his eyebrows as he spoke. In response, Fu Qingqiong asked angrily: "Tell me! Now that this gift has been given, tell me your requirements and purpose!"

"Although this box of fourth-level silk grass is artificially induced, its efficacy is eight hundred years, if not one thousand years. I want senior sister to help me dispose of it. Senior sister can get 30% of the spiritual stone!" Seeing Fu Qingqiong opening his mouth to speak, Xiao Mian quickly said: "If senior sister doesn't want these 30% spiritual stone, I will put it up for auction!"

"Yes! Why not! You are so rich now, I'm worried that I won't have the chance to kill you!" Seeing Xiao Mian's sincere expression, Fu Qingqiong changed her words as she spoke, and then pointed at the bundle of fire cloth Asked: "Do you want to sell this thing too?"

"No! With the spiritual stones obtained from selling the silk grass, I asked my senior sister to help me purchase some things: one is at least three high-grade foundation-building pills, and the other is at least a fourth-grade thunder bead; the rest will be treated as commission. Can someone help me make two pieces of fire cloth from this bundle of fire cloth?" As soon as Xiao Mian finished speaking, Fu Qingqiong stared at Xiao Mian suspiciously and asked, "You want the Foundation Building Pill? Foundation building? That’s not right! Your breath is disordered and you obviously don’t have the smoothness and ease of the Qi training period. What’s the use of the foundation building pill?”

"Brother, aren't you planning for a rainy day?"

"Hmph! It's both the Foundation Establishment Pill and the Fire Thunder Bead. I don't care about your nonsense! For the sake of your 30% spiritual stone, I can agree to these three things. The fourth-level silk grass is a braid The best spiritual materials such as robes, shields and even futons change hands quickly; although foundation-building pills are in short supply, and high-grade foundation-building pills are hard to come by, as long as you have enough spiritual stones, not to mention three, you can always get them. There are only one or two; but at least the fourth-level thunder beads are indeed a bit difficult. You have to know that items above the fourth level are the patents of Jindan monks, and they are rarely sold out. It can only be said that it depends on the opportunity. ; As for the refining of the fire ashes, it will take some time, so you shouldn’t be in a hurry to use it, right?”

After hearing what Fu Qingqiong said was in order, Xiao Mian nodded after confirming that it was correct.

"Speaking of which, you haven't returned to the sect for two years. Senior Brother Yuanxu and Senior Brother Lu Chengfeng miss you very much!" When he said this, Fu Qingqiong stared at Xiao Mian unblinkingly. Xiao Mian listened. His heart skipped a beat at the mention of Yuanxu, but he replied without changing his expression: "Is Master still in good health? What is Senior Brother Lu's current level of cultivation?"

"I haven't heard that there is anything wrong with him, but I heard that his life is approaching! As for Senior Brother Lu, I haven't heard that he has broken through to the high level of the Foundation Establishment Stage!"

"oh!"

Xiao Mian nodded calmly.

After that, Xiao Mian only focused on drinking tea and said nothing more.

After drinking the cup of tea, Xiao Mian stood up and left.

Fu Qingqiong walked him to the door, watched Xiao Mian walk out of the inner courtyard, and then returned to the room.

"This brat is so generous, even I almost got bribed by him!" Bi Luoxian was already sitting on the chair, looking at the Pansicao and Fire Huanbu on the table, her face was very strange. Fu Qingqiong quickly took out the three bottles of Mu Zhongjin and handed them to his master. Bi Luoxian's face looked a little better, but he still said to himself: "He said these are the only stocks he has on hand. Do you believe it?" ?”

"Disciple doesn't know!"

"Hmph! He is young and has low cultivation, but he is very scheming - he is just like another Yuanxu! These three bottles of gold in wood are his stepping stones. He is throwing stones to ask for directions! What did you do last time? Although what he said about the sect made him feel something, he may not have the intention to take advantage of the sect!" Biluoxian's face was gloomy and uncertain as he put the three bottles of wood gold into his storage bag. , Fu Qingqiong said at the right time: "Master, please forgive me for being unreasonable! If the sect cannot provide shelter for the disciple, why should the disciple join the Five Elements Sect?"

"You! Heh..., you helped him! I've heard about it, Master, and you knew him before the foundation was established! What? Could it be that you are tempted?"

"What did Master say? My disciple is devoted to the Tao..."

"Okay! Okay! It's boring to talk about this! Do you really think he can deal with that old fox? Your uncle Yuanxu has not long left to live, and he will no longer go down to Yanzhu Peak. If he wants to go back to the mountain, wouldn't he be throwing himself into a trap? ? Even if he has some powerful helpers, how can we let outsiders do whatever they want on my Five Elements Mountain because it’s a matter of our sect’s reputation?”

Bi Luoxian obviously didn't think highly of Xiao Mian. Fu Qingqiong pondered for a moment, but the answer was wrong.

"Before today, could Master have imagined that he would take out three bottles of Mu Zhongjin in one breath? There are also these thousand-year-old fourth-level silk grass and a bundle of hundreds of fire-huan cloths. Although they are not treasures of heaven and earth, they are It’s definitely not something that can be obtained by a monk in the Qi training stage, right?”

"This... Humph! The gold in the wood is a material with deep roots, enough to cultivate a pillar of metallic spiritual roots for the sect. That boy is just a pearl covered in dust. This time, the boy surnamed Xiao is smart, I I took it out obediently, which saved me from doing the evil thing of robbing the younger generation's assets, otherwise..."

"I'm afraid this is the scariest thing about Junior Brother Xiao..."

Bi Luoxian was stunned when he heard the words, his thoughts changed slightly, and his expression was quite uncertain.

Besides, Xiao Mian was walking alone in the stall area west of Lingchuanfang City at this time.

Although Xiao Mian didn't know that he had actually played a trick of throwing stones to test the waters in front of Leng Ningyu, one of the three great golden elixirs of the Five Elements Sect, in the Xiaoya Pavilion just now. However, judging from the fierce competition between the three major sects for the Tuzhongmu last time, the attraction of the Muzhongjin in his hand to the sect would not be too small, so he simply took out three bottles of Muzhongjin and threw them at them, blocking Fu Qingqiong and Biluoxian's mouths first.

As for the Pansi grass and the fire-washing cloth, they were not very important to Xiao Mian. He just wanted to find an excuse to get in touch with Fu Qingqiong and test the reaction of the sect.

Now it seems that the sect or the Bibotan lineage where Fu Qingqiong is located has a rather subtle attitude towards him. Judging from some of the inexplicable words Fu Qingqiong said to him before, she seems to have a rough guess about the things between him and Yuanxu.

If so, she would be thankful that she didn't help Yuanxu capture him back. Why would she help him openly and secretly like now?

There is only one possibility: Fu Qingqiong or the people behind Fu Qingqiong want to create some trouble for Yuanxu, they don't want Yuanxu to live too comfortably!

In this case, isn't it about the dispute between the Bibotan lineage and the Yanzhufeng lineage, and the internal fighting of the sect faction! ?

Thinking of this, Xiao Mian's heart sank, and he felt annoyed for no reason: Could it be that he was used as a knife by Fu Qingqiong or Biluoxian?

My life is in my own hands, if you really dare to manipulate me at will, you must be careful that I will bite you and not let go!

Gnashing his steel teeth fiercely, Xiao Mian noticed Xuan Lang who was chatting with Ye Qingguo in front. Seeing Xuan Lang's eyes on him, Xiao Mian shook his head imperceptibly. Although Xuan Lang was a famous honest man, he was not stupid. He immediately began to pack up the stall, and then dragged Ye Qingguo, who was chattering, home.

Xiao Mian followed the two step by step and left the stall area.
