"Then what..." Elder Xu lowered his voice, "We elders will pay you the cost of refining the puppet out of our own pockets, but please don't let anything slip."
"What's the matter?" Li Xiuchang was confused.
Elder Xu coughed. "Some time ago, your master Zhao Yuansi asked me about the status of the mission. I told him that everything was going well, and I didn't mention you entering Immortal Shadow. If he finds out, he will blame us for not protecting you well. Once your master got angry, we were a little unable to withstand it."
In Li Xiuchang's impression, Zhao Yuansi has a pretty good temper, and talking about Cultivation Level, Zhao Yuansi of Outer Sect Elder can't compare to Inner Sect Elder.
Why do you feel that these Inner Sect Elder are also afraid of Zhao Yuansi?
Elder Xu sighed and said, "Don't worry, your master is not good at poetry. It's dirty to curse people! It's really unbearable for those with a weak Daoist heart."
Old Zhao still has this ability... Li Xiuchang smiled and said, "Elder Xu Don't worry, I keep my mouth shut."
The premise is that he gets Golden Halberd Unicorn Beetle Egg as he wishes, otherwise no matter how strict he is, it will inevitably leak out.
Li Xiuchang has the right to use Earth-grade Medicine Field, so naturally it cannot be wasted.
However, with his current Spirit Plant Cultivation Arts, it is not realistic to plant Fourth-grade Spirit Plant. Instead, he can try to plant some Spirit Plant, which is better in the third level.
Such as various flowers...
Li Xiuchang and Spirit Plant Cultivation Arts have actually reached the second level. Planting some more ornamental Third-grade Spirit Flower is not a big problem.
But the market for this kind of flower is very problematic, especially the third-level spiritual flower, which is not cheap and even harder to sell.
So you have to find good customers first.
Li Xiuchang directly sent a message to Senior Brother Chu Ya: "Senior brother, I just got a piece of Earth-grade Medicine Field. I can try to plant Third-grade Spirit Flower. I wonder if you need it, senior brother?"
Senior Brother Chu Ya was very supportive. "Junior brother, could you please help me plant a hundred Heartwarming Orchid and a hundred Blazing Lily."
Li Xiuchang, who successfully obtained the order, immediately went to the market to buy seeds, and then rushed to his own Earth-grade Medicine Field to start planting.
The medicine field I took over this time was empty. It had been taken care of in advance and looked very clean.
Li Xiuchang can clearly feel that the spiritual energy in the medicine field is abundant, and it can even be directly used as a training place. You can save a lot of spiritual stones by practicing here.
In addition to the Third-grade Spirit Flower that Senior Brother Chu Ya needed, Li Xiuchang also bought a lot of second-level seeds, and it took a few days to plant the entire medicinal field.
Counting it all now, Li Xiuchang also has many industries under his name, and he is making money every day.
In the sect, he has two and a half medicinal fields plus a small courtyard of Eastern Geng District, as well as a Smoked Spirit Meat production line, and he gets a share of the profits from the new flying boat business.
Outside the sect, he has twenty wolf souls working in Brother Motu's mine, and there are also many first-order spiritual plants planted in the small village of New Demonic Way.
Four Immortals Merchant Alliance is now in operation and will continue to bring him income.
Li Xiuchang If you don't mess around in the future, at least you don't have to worry about the spirit stones.
Counting the days, it has been half a month since Li Xiuchang returned to the Immortal Dust Sect.
The miscellaneous things at hand have finally been dealt with, and now the main thing is to wait for news.
Wait for Senior Brother Zhang Wanzhi to help him refine the weapon, wait for the two Buddhist Corpse to be successfully refined into puppets, and wait for Golden Halberd Unicorn Beetle Egg to get it.
During this period, Li Xiuchang insisted on taking Beast King Bone Broth every day, and Bone Forging's progress steadily improved, and he was not far away from completing the second level of body training.
His Length Value has also reached 71 inches again.
As long as Bone Forging is completed, he can directly add length to the method to impact Third-grade Body Cultivation.
At that time, we can verify whether we can borrow the power of the Mind Monkey and Will Horse method.
During the days of waiting, Li Xiuchang could not do anything. In addition to taking care of Spirit Plant on a daily basis and exorcising the ghosts Malevolent Energy, Li Xiuchang also began to practice alchemy and Spirit Chef Arts.
Until Su Qingchun finished studying the two authentic works of Confucianism and returned the books.
Li Xiuchang took two books. He checked them first and saw that there was no wear and tear. He was very satisfied. Su Qingchun is indeed a book lover.
He observed Su Qingchun, and after reading two sage books, the Righteous Qi in Su Qingchun's body became a little stronger.
And this Righteous Qi can help Su Qingchun suppress the growth of Malevolent Energy, allowing him to breed Malevolent Energy more slowly than other ghosts.
Li Xiuchang The thought he had before came up again. Should he become a copywriter and copy out all the ancient poems and prose from his previous life for Su Qingchun to read?
There was nothing important at hand, so he went to the bedroom upstairs, took out a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and wrote a piece of "cursive script" with his pen.
Li Xiuchang copied ancient poems first, for no other reason than because they were short.
Those long and eloquent ancient essays were exhausting to write.
There were some key points that he couldn't even remember.
Li Xiuchang is mainly about being casual. He writes whatever lines come to his mind. Some poems only remember one or two of the most classic lines, so he just writes them.
Some words only have upper and lower parts, and some don't even have titles.
Li Xiuchang wrote several poems in succession and gave them to Su Qingchun: "Fellow Daoist Su, these are poems I read in an ancient book. See if they are helpful to you."
Su Qingchun thanked him, took the paper, glanced at the words on it and frowned.
After trying hard to identify, I finally figured out what the word was.
He read silently in his mind, "Goose goose... what kind of poem is this?"
But when he read the entire poem and saw "white hair floating on the green water, and red palms stirring the clear waves", he couldn't help but smile, "It's quite interesting."
He had to admit that this poem was full of pictures and innocence, and had its merits.
He opened the paper and read the next song. His face suddenly became serious, and he sat upright, with admiration in his eyes.
"Okay, okay! Miaomiaomiao!"
Su Qingchun kept flipping the paper, and the expression on his face kept changing. Sometimes he was excited, sometimes he was melancholy, sometimes he looked yearning, sometimes he was annoyed and regretful...
Until he suddenly paused when he turned to a page, and said urgently, "Fellow Daoist, why does this poem only have two sentences? What about the back?"
Li Xiuchang glanced at it, and there were only two poems on that page:
"The tide of the spring river reaches the level of the sea, and the bright moon rises together on the sea."
Li Xiuchang spread his hands. "The back? I can't remember the back."
The most famous song of "Spring River Flowers and Moonlight Night" is the first two sentences. The key part is so long after that. How can I still remember Li Xiuchang.
Su Qingchun was so anxious that he scratched his head and said repeatedly, "Think about it again, think about it again, these two sentences are so wonderful!"
"I can't think of anything. You should look at something else first."
Su Qingchun had no choice but to sigh, put the remaining poem aside with great care, and continue reading the following poems.
Li Xiuchang noticed that just a dozen or so poems had already significantly improved Righteous Qi in Su Qingchun's body.
Su Qingchun was reading when he suddenly slapped his head and said in a low voice, "Fellow Daoist, why does this poem only have a top line and no bottom line? Isn't it possible that I have also forgotten it?"
Li Xiuchang When I took a look, it turned out to be the song "Linjiang Fairy".
"After the dream, the tower is locked high, and the curtains are drooped after being sober. Last spring, regret came. The fallen flowers were independent, and the gentle swifts flew together."
This poem made the old bachelor Su Qingchun feel sad and empathize with it. He was immersed in it, but suddenly nothing happened.
It's not that Li Xiuchang couldn't remember the next part of this poem, but there were two or three words that he wasn't sure he could remember, so he simply didn't write them down.
He was still a bachelor and said, "It's been too long and I can't remember it."
Su Qingchun was heartbroken. "How can we forget such a good word, 'The fallen flower is independent, and the tiny swift swallow flies together', these two sentences are a stroke of genius!"
He almost begged, "Fellow Daoist Li, please think about it again. What if you remember it? Or look for it and see if you can find that ancient book?"
Unless Non-Self can travel back in time, where else can he find it... Li Xiuchang didn't give him any hope and said, "That ancient book has been lost long ago and is nowhere to be found. I will tell you the following content if I remember it."
"Isn't there something missing in the poems at the end?" Su Qingchun's hand holding a stack of papers suddenly started to tremble.
"Yes, there is still a lot missing." Li Xiuchang said honestly.
Su Qingchun felt as if a piece of his heart was missing. If he continued reading, it would be so confusing that it would scare him to death.
But don't read it, he can't help himself with such good poetry!
Li Xiuchang can't understand the mentality of Su Qingchun. I just feel that this old scholar has too much to do and just reads a poem. You can read as much as you want. If it can increase Righteous Qi and help your practice, isn't this goal achieved?
Moreover, Su Qingchun, an old scholar, might have been subconsciously unable to accept himself as Li Xiuchang's servant because of his age or his arrogance as a scholar. Li Xiuchang also glossed over the relationship for this reason, and the two of them were regarded as Daoist friends.
But this time, Su Qingchun lowered his body and begged Li Xiuchang in order to get the latter part of the poem, and almost knelt down in front of him.
Li Xiuchang didn't care about Su Qingchun anymore. The poems he wrote this time were enough for Su Qingchun to study carefully for a while.
Li Xiuchang went straight to do his own thing. Su Qingchun was holding a pile of paper filled with poems alone, but the more he thought about it, the more something was wrong.
He considers himself a person who has read a lot of poetry. How come there are so many poems that he has never read?
Moreover, the poems Li Xiuchang gave him were of extremely high quality, and many of them were quatrains that could be passed down through the ages. If these poems had existed, they would not have been unknown, and they should have been spread long ago.
If it's just one or two songs, that's it. Li Xiuchang has dozens of songs, which is too strange.
"There is a problem, there is definitely a problem!"
"Fellow Daoist Li said he forgot because he was old, but how old is he?"
"Could it be that Li Daoyou wrote these poems himself? He was halfway through writing poems and lyrics, but his inspiration ran out and he couldn't continue writing?"
Su Qingchun After thinking about it carefully, I don't think it looks like it.
After all, Li Xiuchang is too young. Even if he is a genius, many of the emotions in poems cannot be written if he has not experienced them.
"Or is there someone among the elders of Daoyou Li's sect who has such a talent for poetry? Because he is a member of the immortal sect, his poems have never been circulated in the secular world?"
"Yes, the two authentic works of Confucianism that Fellow Daoist Li borrowed for me this time, it seems that they were borrowed from the elders of my disciples. The elder who borrowed the books should be the person who wrote these poems."
"I really want to consult with such people!"
Su Qingchun's eyes showed longing, and he admired the senior who wrote the poem so much that he wished he could worship him and listen to his teachings every day.
Li Xiuchang didn't know yet that Su Qingchun had imagined Zhao Yuansi into a character like Poet Immortal, Word Sage, and was preparing to return the two authentic works of Confucianism to his master.
It suddenly occurred to him that Zhao Yuansi seemed to have asked him to take the position of Guest Alchemist Master at Danxiang Tower in the market.
He actually forgot about it until he remembered it.
Li Xiuchang immediately went to the market and found Danxiang Tower.
As soon as he mentioned his name, the shopkeeper of Danxiang Tower personally came out to greet him and was extremely polite to Li Xiuchang.
The shopkeeper is an old man, not a disciple of the Immortal Dust Sect, but a member of Zhao Yuansi Lineage. Cultivation Level is not tall, but he speaks and acts generously and decently.
Zhao Yuansi had already said hello, so Li Xiuchang became Guest Alchemist Master of Danxiang Tower very smoothly.
Shopkeeper Zhao reminded, "Li Alchemist, we at Danxiang Tower will launch some special prices spirit medicine every once in a while, which are only available in limited supply to Guest Alchemist Master. You can pay attention to it then.
"Some alchemy tasks will also be released from time to time. If there are any that suit you, you can also take them. The rewards are pretty good."
"In addition, if you sell the elixir you refine to Danxiang Tower, we will recycle it at a price that is 10% higher than the market purchase price."
Li Xiuchang has no intention of earning spiritual stones through this. He takes up a temporary job here mainly for Zhao Yuansi's face.
But now that they are all on temporary duty, Li Xiuchang doesn't want to just do nothing. He plans to take on some tasks regularly, which is also a way to practice.
In addition, all the elixirs produced through daily practice can be sold to Danxiang Tower.
Shopkeeper Zhao took out a token. Identity Token, which was not Immortal Dust Sect, could actually be paired with Identity Token of Li Xiuchang to realize the messaging function.
"If something happens in the future, you can send a message to contact me. If you want to take over the alchemy task, you can also learn the details of the task through the token."
Li Xiuchang nodded, walked around Danxiang Tower, and said, "Shopkeeper Zhao, in addition to elixirs, do we Danxiang Tower sell other things?"
Danxiang Tower has three floors. The first floor displays elixirs of the third level and below. The second floor displays the elixirs of the fourth level and above. The third floor is not open to the public.
Li Xiuchang noticed that in addition to the pills, there were some other debris on the first floor.
For example, there are various Spirit Plant, some magic weapons Dharma Treasure, and even spiritual dishes, food ingredients, arrays, arrays, flags, etc.
Shopkeeper Zhao explained, "Some people come to buy elixirs and don't have enough spiritual stones, so they use other treasures to pay off their debts. Since we are open to do business, we naturally have to make it convenient for our customers, so we can only accept them.
"There are also some customers who come to sell non-elixir treasures. Sometimes the price is really right, but it would be a pity not to accept them, so I just accept them.
"Throughout this trip, I collected a lot of miscellaneous treasures, and set aside a special area on the first floor to sell these miscellaneous treasures, which also brought in multiple incomes."
Shopkeeper Zhao added, "Of course, we won't accept the first-order Tier 2 Talismans, and we can't use it to offset the account."
It may seem like you can earn more spiritual stones by doing a little bit of any business, but Li Xiuchang knows very well that this is actually a taboo in doing business.
When doing business, you must be specialized and create a professional and reliable impression on your customers. You cannot do everything and try to make money.
But he didn't say much, so he stayed for a while and then left, flying to the Zhao Manor.
