Chapter 161 Conversation

At this moment, the Miaoli fir in front of Wei Zhong was not as openly dressed as before. He wore a light blue Taoist robe, dotted with white clouds.

There are also silver threads running through the collar and cuffs, forming various unique patterns. Revealing a sense of dignity and solemnity.

"Why, you want to show off my whole body?"

After taking a look at Wei Zhong, who was slightly dazed, Miaoli Shan joked.

Wei Zhong quickly lowered his head:

"Senior, don't be surprised. It's just that I saw that my senior was dressed differently than before, so I was a little surprised."

"oh?"

Miaoli Shan raised his arms, looked at his sleeves, and asked:

"Compared with the previous one, which one looks better in this body?"

Wei Zhong only felt a chill rushing to the top of his head.

‘This is a proposition from ancient times! ’

His breath was stagnant, and he didn't know how to answer. Fortunately, Miaolishan didn't mean to get involved in the matter, and guided Wei Zhong inside, and then closed the courtyard door.

"This is my personal property in Jinpingfang City. The yard is not big, but the level of the spiritual land is a third-level high-grade one, which is enough for you to practice."

He casually threw a jade plaque to Wei Zhong. It was light green and read Jinping Yiliu. It was probably the prohibition token for this courtyard.

"Before the banquet of the Wang family begins, you can practice here. If you still want to stay here in the future, you must pay the rent to me. You, a dignified fourth-level weapon and alchemy master, probably won't miss the chance to buy some spiritual stones! "Miaolishan said with a smile.

Wei Zhong smiled bitterly in his heart, as the other party always liked to use his two skills to make fun of him.

Slightly arched hands:

"Pindao wants to learn more about the composition of the Chamber of Commerce during this trip, but I have to trouble my seniors!"

Miaoli Shan's eyebrows showed a little surprise:

"But do you have any plans to officially join this chamber of commerce?"

"Senior, please forgive me. I have to wait until junior sees it with my own eyes before making a decision."

Although Wei Zhong has been known as a guest minister of the Chamber of Commerce for hundreds of years, he is actually just a craftsman traveling on the fringes of the Chamber of Commerce.

It neither enjoys any rights nor assumes any obligations from the Chamber of Commerce.

If you need resources, you can exchange them for contribution points. Contribution points can also be obtained by completing tasks of the Chamber of Commerce, or by donating spiritual wine recipes before.

It can be said that the more you work, the more you get, and there are no other restrictions.

Compared with positions such as the guest minister of the sect, there is a lot of freedom. If Wei Zhong wanted to enjoy himself, he could spend three days fishing and two days drying nets.

"It would be nice to see it with your own eyes."

Miaoli Shan was not surprised or annoyed at all by Wei Zhong's hesitation. Instead, he was very calm and replied calmly:

"In that case, come with me to visit the guild leader!"

Wei Zhong looked up in surprise:

"Guild leader?"

······

Stepping on the green stone road, Wei Zhong raised his head slightly and looked at the Miaoli fir in front of him. Only then did Wei Zhong understand why the other party was dressed so solemnly.

Shan Ji, the head of the Yunji Chamber of Commerce, is a master of Miaoli Shan, so this visit is naturally unusual.

Wei Zhong looked around at the surrounding environment again, with green water and green mountains, and a long stone staircase leading straight to the top of the mountain. Compared with the bustling Yunzhou City, this time it was considered very quiet.

"Master is too lazy to deal with the elders in the association, so he lives here all year round to keep things clean."

Wei Zhong nodded slowly.

This mountain is located east of Jinpingfang City, and its spiritual energy concentration has reached the fourth level. It is indeed a good place for spiritual cultivation.

Lingshan is not high, and Wei Zhong and Miaoli Shan reached the top of the mountain in less than half a quarter of an hour's walk.

There were faint clouds and mist billowing all around, and in front of him was a unique farmyard, with bamboo fences, wooden gates, and even the roof was made of some unknown withered grass.

Wei Zhong secretly admired the leisurely elegance of this senior Shan, and in a daze he caught a glimpse of several branches slightly higher than the courtyard wall.

Miaoli Shan had already approached the door and knocked on the iron ring.

"Disciple Miaolishan and his guest Wei Zhong seek an audience..."

The voice did not enter the hospital, and there was no response for a long time. Miaolishan did not make the slightest move, and Wei Zhong also stood behind him and waited quietly.

"rustle!"

A breeze blew by, and the hanging branches gently played with the dead grass on the wall.

A deep voice sounded in Wei Zhong's ears:

"Come in!"

Looking up, he saw Miaoli Shan pushing open the courtyard door, raising his legs to cross the ankle-high threshold, and stepping into the courtyard, followed by Wei Zhong.

The courtyard is not big, about four feet wide, and only three feet deep. The items displayed in it are also extremely simple.

A square stone table, two wooden stools, an unknown tree species, and a ceramic water tank underneath.

At this time, the breeze blows, and some branches hang down into the tank, stirring up the spiritual lotus in it, and also startling one or two spiritual fish to jump up.

"Pila!"

The sound of opening the door drew Wei Zhong's attention back, and a figure standing in front of the door appeared in Wei Zhong's eyes.

"I've met Master!"

Miaoli Shan bowed slightly and lowered his head to say hello.

Wei Zhong also quickly bowed and handed over:

"Junior Wei Zhong has met the meeting leader."

Then he saw the strange man in front of him. He was wearing a loose robe and a light yellow crown on his head. He didn't look like a monk, but looked like a scholar who was studying hard.

But his face is resolute, with dignity and magnanimity.

This was the second time Wei Zhong saw the Yuanying monk since he solved Yuan Rui, but after careful observation, he could not detect any difference.

The aura of his whole body was extremely mellow, like a piece of uncut jade that had obscured its brilliance. He is neither as ordinary as a mortal nor as terrifying as a Yuanying master.

He pointed to the tables and chairs beside him and gave a faint command:

"sit!"

There were only two wooden stools, and Wei Zhong was too embarrassed to grab a seat as soon as he was introduced. After the two of them sat down, they stood aside.

The single-sleeved robe was brushed by, and a tea set appeared on the stone table. A clear spring in the air condensed and fell into the teapot, and then a few thick yellow tea leaves were sprinkled into it.

Then he tapped the teapot, and a red flame rose from the bottom of the pot, burning the pot and the tea in it.

Miaoli Shan on the other side was not idle either. He took out a jade slip and handed it to Shan Ji:

“This month’s Chamber of Commerce accounts are included...

"Another Taoist friend from the Puyang family is coming..."

"In the meeting, Elder Du wanted to ask for a piece of pure jade liquid and five ten thousand years of elixir for his son...

"······"

‘I’m really here for business! ’

Wei Zhong listened to Miaolishan's words, which were all recent events in the Yunji Chamber of Commerce, and many of them seemed to be internal secrets.

But the two of them didn't seem to want to avoid Wei Zhong.

After Miaoli Shan gave a brief explanation, Shan Ji also put down the jade slip in his hand.

"The share of spiritual stones in the Alchemy Palace will be cut off by 10% and added to the Equipment Palace...

"Puyang family, please ask Qin'er to come and entertain you in person, don't let others look down upon me gathered at the Chamber of Commerce..."

"Elder Du's request was dismissed. Qingshen Jade Liquid was queued up in order to exchange. In addition, Du Longfeng didn't have any stock of the ten thousand-year elixir? He also wanted to fight against the Autumn Wind of the Chamber of Commerce. Just give him one to deal with it...

"······"

Miaoli Shan listened to what he said, nodded frequently, and then burned various solutions into the jade slips.

By the time the conversation was finished, the tea on the table was already well-heated.

Lifting the teapot lightly with one arm, three streams of water flowed out of it and were submerged into three emerald green jade cups.

‘Fortunately you didn’t forget me! ’

Wei Zhong took the tea cup handed over by Miaoli Shan, lowered his head and looked at it, and saw that the spiritual tea in it was extremely bright and yellow, with a strong spiritual energy under the steam.

The voice of Miaoli fir rang in my ears:

"This is Master's treasure. Fellow Daoist Wei is in great luck this time."

Wei Zhong's expression was slightly moved, he brought the jade cup close to his lips, took a sip, and a stream of fresh spiritual energy penetrated from his mouth and went straight to the sky.

‘What a strong spiritual energy. This spiritual tea is definitely of the fourth level. ’

At this moment, Wei Zhong seemed to have returned to the moment when he drank Yuzhi while refining his qi, and he was so happy.

Unfortunately, as Wei Zhong's cultivation level gradually advanced, the spiritual wine technique was slowly replaced and replaced by the spiritual pill.

But every time I take spiritual pills to practice, I always feel as awkward as taking the bitter pills in my previous life.

"How about this spiritual tea from Pindao?"

Shan Jie tilted his head slightly to look at Wei Zhong.

"good!"

Wei Zhong was not good at tea ceremony, and it was even more difficult for him to use gorgeous words to describe this tea.

Such a simple answer made Shan Jie frown, wondering if he was dissatisfied with Wei Zhong's answer.

Miaoli Shan stood up at the right time:

"Master, then I will leave first and deal with all the matters in the meeting."

Turning sideways, he blinked at Wei Zhong and said via voice:

"Fellow Daoist Wei, just stay here and drink tea, then leave and follow the way you came."

He bowed his hands to Shan Jie and left quickly, leaving no time for Wei Zhong to ask questions.

‘You just leave me here? ’

When Wei Zhong was stunned, Shan Ji knocked on the stone table, pointed at the empty wooden bench in front of him and said:

"sit!"

Wei Zhong had no choice but to walk down the table, holding the tea cup in his hand. His heart was like a wave of waves. When he looked up and saw his face with a single arm, he was even more nervous.

‘In these barren mountains and wild mountains, the opponent is so powerful that I can’t beat him even if I fully activate [Years Dao Technique]...’

Years of experience as a casual cultivator has made Wei Zhong always wary of external things, and it is normal for him to treat the monks he sees as imaginary enemies.

When I thought about it, I felt that the tea in my hand was a little bit hot.

"Are you nervous?"

Shan Ji picked up the tea cup that Miaoli Shan had just used, and threw the tea and floating leaves under the spiritual tree aside. Two silver fish jumped up and swallowed it into his mouth.

When it fell, Wei Zhong seemed to see some satisfaction in his fish eyes.

This action relieved Wei Zhong's nervousness a lot.

"A little bit."

Then he took another sip of the tea in the cup, and then took a deep breath to calm himself down.

Shan Ji saw Wei Zhong's behavior, and an invisible smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"When I was young, I saw high-ranking monks looking like this. Do you think I was nervous because I admired my seniors, or was I scared because I knew I was invincible?"

When Wei Zhong heard this, his heart that had finally calmed down suddenly became anxious again.

After careful consideration, I finally replied:

"It's probably fear, right?"

"Oh, why?"

There was a look of interest on Shan Zhi's face.

"I heard that the guild leader is also a casual cultivator. He has worked hard for many years to build up the Yunji Chamber of Commerce. This trip has been a dangerous journey. If he had not been careful, he would have perished long ago."

"Ha ha!"

He raised his head and laughed, the crown and hat on his head shaking again and again under his movements.

"You're a very straightforward guy. Brother Jie's choice of you makes sense."

Then he lowered his head and looked straight into Wei Zhong's eyes:

"How about, would you like to join our Yunji Chamber of Commerce and completely throw away this fear?

If you agree, I can accept a disciple for my brother, and I will treat him as a brother. From then on, you will be my Shan's nephew, and Shan'er and Qin'er can be regarded as brothers and sisters.

Your status in my Yunji Chamber of Commerce has greatly increased. With your ability to refine pills and weapons, the position of an elder is within your reach.

From now on, you will become the core figure of our Yunji Chamber of Commerce..."

Wei Zhong listened quietly to Shan Gu's words, which were very tempting.

From a casual cultivator, he suddenly became a high-level member of the Yuanying force of Yunji Chamber of Commerce. For ordinary cultivators, this is a great opportunity.

But for Wei Zhong...

Wei Zhong's thoughts were churning in his mind, and he weighed the pros and cons unconsciously.

Years of cultivation experience have made him lose basic trust in outsiders.

Shan Gu sighed slightly when he saw this, and he knew Wei Zhong's reaction very well.

'This can be said to be the normal behavior of most casual cultivators and even himself in the past, but what is special about Wei Zhong is that he was not tempted by the various favorable conditions he proposed.

In terms of concentration, he is much stronger than ordinary casual cultivators.'

Knowing that this matter cannot be forced, Shan Gu interrupted Wei Zhong's thoughts:

"Don't rush to answer, it's not too late to go back and think about it carefully. "

Then he asked about Wei Zhong's cultivation. Wei Zhong concealed some of the secrets and told the parts that could be exposed.

After hearing that Wei Zhong was not far from the middle stage of Jindan, Shan Gu's face looked better:

"As an alchemist, you must have no shortage of elixirs to increase your cultivation. The only thing you need to pay attention to is the elixir poison.

The third-level elixir is different from the first and second levels. It can be eliminated with the dust-reducing pill. Even the inventory of this chamber of commerce does not have a specific prescription.

Only a few spiritual objects in heaven and earth can eliminate it. It just so happens that the chamber of commerce has recently obtained a batch. I will let Shan'er send it to you later..."

Wei Zhong listened to what Shan Gu said, and he didn't know whether he should refuse. He just listened quietly.

"Don't worry about it. These are all what Brother Jie fought for for you. Shan is just acting according to Brother Jie's last wishes.

As for repaying the favor, I believe Brother Jie has already discussed the solution with you. You can do what you want at that time. ”

Wei Zhong nodded slowly, and then Shan Gu gave some advice on Wei Zhong’s daily practice, from the various stages of Jindan to how to break through Yuanying.

“Yuanying is the fruit of Dansha. The stronger the Jindan, the harder it will be to break through Yuanying, and the stronger it will be after entering the Yuanying realm. Strictly speaking, the time it takes to break through Yuanying is not linked to the strength of the cultivator...

“If you want to break through smoothly, it is best not to have any shortcomings in spiritual power, consciousness, and physical body. Although spiritual cultivation is mainly based on spiritual power, the other two still help to break through the realm.

“I see that you don’t feel uncomfortable drinking this spiritual tea. I think you already have the method of refining the body, and you have the "Splitting God Method" in your hand to cultivate consciousness. There is no need for me to give you other methods. Just practice slowly according to your path.

“If you want to break through Yuanying at that time, you can come to me to get that Yuanying opportunity...”
