Xiang River is leisurely, the plum forest is picturesque, Xu Yi is lying on the edge of the bamboo house, playing with Ruyi Pearl in his hand, two white cranes are dancing around the plum forest in the sky.
Huangmei leaned beside Xu Yi, squinting at Xu Yi, "Yes, this wave of fools are really good at pretending. I really underestimated you. I thought you would be defeated by those five Profound Yellow Essences, but I didn't expect you to hold on. However, I said you won't get addicted to pretending and forget about business."
Xu Yi said solemnly, "The quality of the words that come into your mouth has deteriorated. I don't have time to talk nonsense with you, so I'm going to sleep first." After saying that, he closed his eyes, not knowing whether he fell asleep or was pretending to doze.
At this moment, his face was calm, but his heart was agitated.
After pretending for several months, it finally came to fruition.
Since that day, after the Loose Immortal Academy asked about the case, he understood the new path Director Yu showed him, a Path of the Esteemed Scholar.
Having been promoted to the position of meritorious officer, I have already hit the ceiling of promotion. There is little point in continuing to suffer at the Loose Immortal Academy.
After all, Xu Yi's pursuits are different from those of ordinary officials. Ordinary officials want to have great power. By guarding this lucrative position, they can easily reap benefits for a long time.
Xu Yi's pursuit is only one thing, which is resources, resources for cultivation, and the purpose of obtaining an official position is still for resources.
He has now reached the great perfection of the Yang Fish Realm. To move forward, all he needs are resources, a large amount of Profound Yellow Essence.
To obtain these resources, it would take decades at least if he relied solely on the position of meritorious officer. He couldn't afford to wait.
On the contrary, it is more feasible to take the path of a celebrity. If he is a meritorious person, he can only come into contact with lower-class people. If he is a celebrity, he can be friends with people like Director Yu. Undoubtedly, it is easier to become a big shot when you are with a big shot. What leaks from the fingers of a big shot is enough for a small person to save a lifetime.
Xu Yi has walked the road of celebrities before, but this time, he decided to play a more high-end game.
He has learned that there are not many celebrities in today's world. You may be able to become famous quickly by relying on words alone, but it may be difficult to stand out and become famous.
This requires strategy.
Xu Yi's strategy is to superimpose celebrities and hermits. If you follow this combination, you won't be able to get ahead if you don't believe it.
Facts have proved that these months of pretending were not in vain. He has gradually become famous and will definitely reach a very high level after Lord Fu'an's birthday today.
By this time, the harvest season is not far away.
As he expected, since Lord Fu'an Zuo Jiantan's birthday, people have been flocking here in droves. He has an exquisite perception, so naturally he will not give people the chance to meet him by chance.
He moved around the Xiang River several times, and the matter became a good story again.
After several twists and turns, no one could see him, and gradually, no one bothered him anymore.
However, the popularity of Empty Guest has not decreased because of this, but has become higher and higher. There has always been an unbreakable truth: what the world lacks, it will pursue.
There are even Aristocratic Clan high-ranking people who send out guests to drop off guests. They give out fifty Profound Yellow Essence and invite Empty Guest to come over for a while.
At that time, Xu Yi was so greedy that his saliva drooled all over the floor, and he was about to bite his steel teeth into pieces. He just managed to hold back and failed to achieve success.
Since then, the world has completely lost its desire to see Empty Guest.
More than a month later, Empty Guest and Liu Guancen appeared without any warning at Academy Judge Gao Bohou's banquet. The scene almost exploded. Celebrities from all walks of life gathered together for a while, making Gao Bohou earn a lot of face.
Throughout the banquet, Xu Yi was dressed in white, and his talking and laughing level was no less than that of Xianlin City. He sang three poems about the moon, which attracted earth-shattering cheers.
After three glasses of wine, Xu Yi said goodbye to the host Gao Bohou, Gao Bohou prepared a generous gift, Xu Yi did not refuse, took it calmly, and walked away gracefully.
Xu Yi came suddenly and left even more unexpectedly. Especially when he accepted Gao Bohou's gift calmly, many people were stunned. They thought it was Gao Bohou who paid a lot of money to invite Xu Yi.
Gao Bohou said quickly, "Empty Guest came suddenly. I didn't invite you. I'm not afraid of your jokes. What I prepared for Empty Guest was only five Profound Yellow Essence, if this is considered a great gift, but I don't know what does it mean when Mr. Kuang Ming's recommendation as a false immortal was compared to the fifty Profound Yellow Essence next to the Xiang River that day?"
Five Profound Yellow Essence, of course, is a big gift, Gao Bohou is also a little bit painful, the key is that Empty Guest came and gave Tian a big face, if he didn't say anything, I'm afraid It's a joke. If you think about it carefully, these five Profound Yellow Essence are considered to be a lot for others, but for Empty Guest, they are not much at all. He Gao also made a lot of money.
Everyone didn't get the answer at Gao Bohou, so they went to surround Liu Guancen.
Liu Guancen said, "Gentlemen, the situation is like this. Today Empty Guest and I were fishing by the Surabaya River. There were monks who frequently went south. I asked the passing monks and learned that Lord Gao was hosting a banquet today. Empty Guest said that he was short of money and wanted to sell some poetry, so he came here, and I followed him."
As soon as these words came out, the whole place fell into dead silence.
After a while, someone shouted loudly, "As expected of the Empty Guest who visited Liu on a snowy night. He did it spontaneously. I admire him. I admire him."
For a time, everyone in the house was filled with admiration.
No one noticed that a shadow slipped out. After half a stick of incense, it turned into a ghostly shadow and chased Xu Yi.
"Tsk, tsk, you still know how to play. No one can do this trick to you. You are obviously trying to cheat Profound Yellow Essence shamelessly, but those guys said it was so refreshing and refined, and they took the initiative to advocate for you. You really have gone beyond the realm of play."
Luangmei fell in the nest, making funny jokes.
Xu Yi sighed, "It's no wonder that I held back my hand and didn't reach out."
At the beginning, he did not take the fifty Profound Yellow Essence outside the Xiang River, just to give his reputation a golden body.
With this golden body, he had taken five Profound Yellow Essence at this moment, and everyone commented overwhelmingly on his willfulness and celebrity style.
Even the most demanding celebrity colleagues did not dare to find fault at this time, and could only sit back and watch Xu Yi stand and make money.
Since then, people began to come to the Xiang River to invite Xu Yi to the banquet, but Xu Yi would never accept.
Often every other month or so, he would come uninvited to a banquet, chat and laugh with the guests, sing poems, accept the writing materials prepared by the host, and then leave.
The ceremonial gold prepared by Gao Bohou on that day became a red line. After Xu Yi attended the banquet, he never received less than five gold coins.
What's more, the heroic owner, after receiving Xu Yi's wonderful words, brought out twenty Profound Yellow Essence on a tray on the spot.
We are afraid of comparison in everything. If someone takes the initiative, others will respond. However, in just one and a half years, Xu Yi has collected more than 250 Profound Yellow Essence.
After refining more than a hundred Profound Yellow Essence, he vaguely felt that the barrier was about to open, so he stopped attending the banquet, stopped and prepared to attack Divine Diagram Realm.
