Chapter 711 Jade Puppet Iron Wood
Early morning.
The fifth prince came to visit Zhou Qing and gave him a gift.
“Congratulations to Fellow Daoist Zhou for being promoted to a Venerable. This is His Highness’s intention for Fellow Daoist. A small gift is not disrespectful.”
“At the same time, Fellow Daoist Zhou, please rest assured that Your Highness will take good care of Ao. Young Master, Your Highness is deeply sorry for the trouble Mr. Ao has caused to fellow Taoist monks.”
Zhou Qing simply responded with a few words, and the people in the fifth prince's house left.
Bai Ruoyue walked in from outside, took a look at the pile of gifts, and asked:
"Junior brother, are they here to apologize?"
"It's almost the same, but there's no sincerity."
I didn't even come, so I just sent a subordinate here, obviously there is no sincerity.
However, the gift must be accepted. If you refuse, it will be equivalent to standing on the opposite side of Bai Chengqian.
Zhou Qing is not afraid, but it is not yet at that point, and there is no need.
After briefly looking at the gifts, Zhou Qing put them away after making sure there were no problems.
“Sister, let’s go.”
Zhou Qing called Bai Ruoyue and prepared to go out.
But before they could leave Daqi Taoist Temple, someone came to see Zhou Qing again. This time it was from the Seventh Prince of Daqi.
Zhou Qing raised his eyebrows slightly, wondering what day it was this morning.
In the living room, Zhou Qing met the seventh prince. He was an old man with white beard and hair who looked very kind. His surname was Zheng. His cultivation level was not weak, and he was probably in the realm of three transformations.
After the ceremony, Zhou Qing asked:
“I wonder why the Seventh Prince sent Mr. Zheng here?”
"Your Highness heard that Fellow Taoist Zhou arrived in Yujing and wanted to meet him. The last time he ordered me to come to visit, Fellow Taoist was in retreat and had no chance to meet."
"Now I heard that Fellow Taoist has become the Supreme Being. His Highness was so impressed that he specially sent me to invite fellow Taoist Zhou to the banquet. "
The Seventh Prince attended the banquet...
Zhou Qing shook his head and said: "I have just made a breakthrough. There are still many things to do. It is related to practice. I can't spare the time in a short time. I still hope that the Seventh Prince Haihan will do it."
"Please Mr. Zheng, do it for me." Let me tell His Highness the Seventh Prince that when I am free in the future, I will definitely visit you personally and express my apology to His Highness.”
Mr. Zheng's expression was stagnant. He didn't expect Zhou Qing to refuse, but there was nothing he could do about Zhou Qing's reason.
I just made a breakthrough, it must be cultivation that is important.
"Understood, I am too rude to deal with Daoyou Zhou's affairs."
Mr. Zheng stood up and left, "Then I won't bother Daoyou Zhou anymore."
Zhou Qing sent him off. After Mr. Zheng left, Bai Ruoyue smiled and said:
"Junior brother, you are so popular."
"As a senior sister, you would be popular if you were in my position and had my achievements."
"Let's go Let's go, leave first, in case someone comes again later."
Zhou Qing can foresee that there will be many people coming to visit him, but most of them are actually meaningless contacts and are purely a delay. His time.
“Senior Brother Zhou!”
"Uncle Zhou!"
"..."
When leaving Daqi Taoist Temple, many people greeted Zhou Qing.
First he came to Daqi Taoist Temple as the number one true successor, and then he broke through at a speed faster than lightning and ascended to the realm of the second transformation.
This is a miracle. After the news spread, everyone was shocked. Now seeing Zhou Qing in person, it is so curious.
Watching Zhou and Qing leave the Taoist temple, many people were still amazed when thinking of his deeds.
“I don’t know how Uncle Zhou practiced. It’s just like a legend.”
“Well, I heard that after the first true disciple came to Yujing, he challenged him at the beginning. I thought about the genius of the sect, but I didn’t expect that I haven’t found the opportunity yet. , but he has already broken through to the second level of true blood."
"There are many people in the Taoist temple who think like you, but it turns out that Uncle Zhou is indeed a very human being, and he is not comparable to us."
“The title of banished immortal is well-deserved.”
"..."
Legends are always legends, and banishing immortals will always be banishing immortals. You can't accept it.
On the streets of Xuandaofang, Bai Ruoyue sent a message to Zhou Qing.
"Junior brother, will you really visit that seventh prince in the future?"
"In a while, I will have to leave Yujing. How can I have time to visit him? I'm just being polite. .”
Zhou Qing shook his head slightly, "If it is not necessary, I don't want to have anything to do with the Daqi royal family, especially these princes. The royal family's water is too deep, and I don't want to get involved."
"If I just agreed to that seven The invitation from the prince, even if it is just a simple acquaintance But in the eyes of other princes, it may be a signal and involve me in some things in the future."
"The situation in the royal family is too complicated and I am not willing to get involved."
Bai Ruoyue nodded thoughtfully.
"Yes, when I was in the Ling family, I heard that the Ling family encountered many problems because of the fifth prince."
Zhou Qing nodded, "Especially since I am a member of Xuandu Temple. Although Xuandu Temple is the state religion of Da Qi, the relationship between the two parties has become somewhat subtle for four hundred years. If we are from the Zhou royal family or the Jin royal family, I If you have any contact with them, it’s not a big problem.”
“But the Daqi royal family is different. For me, it’s a quagmire. It's still smelly, I'm clean, there's no need to jump into this quagmire."
"Senior sister, you should be careful when you come into contact with the royal family in the future."
Also. There is a problem. Zhou Qing once killed Zuo Tianzheng...
Looking at Zuo Tianzheng now, he was too weak.
But his relationship with the current Qi Emperor was unusual, and the killing of Zuo Tianzheng was always a hidden danger.
Bai Ruoyue smiled and said: "I will leave Yujing soon, and I probably won't be able to contact anyone from the royal family in the future."
"This is a good thing."
The royal family can be said to be the most troublesome place. It is more complicated than the situation inside Xuandu Temple. In that imperial city, all kinds of causal entanglements are extremely heavy. Once you fall into it, trouble will come to your door. I think It's hard to escape.
The royal families of the other two countries are okay. Zhou Qing is a foreigner, and Xuanduguan is also a foreign force, separated by one layer.
The Qi Bai family is the trouble Zhou Qing least wants to get involved in.
The relationship between Xuanduguan and the Daqi royal family is subtle, and he has a very high status in Xuanduguan. He really doesn’t want to get involved in those things, so as not to send out any signals without knowing it. A person misjudges his position.
In a situation where the throne is undecided and the princes are eyeing each other, if you have a good relationship with one prince, it means that you are directly on the opposite side of more princes, which is not a good thing.
Zhou Qing was originally a person on the shore, so there was no need to go to the sea.
Stay away from these disputes that are meaningless to him, practice well, and when he reaches the heavenly realm or even higher in the future, he will naturally take the initiative to possess the power and status without even asking.
The Daqi royal family is very powerful and is one of the most powerful families in the world. If they are really involved in the royal family dispute, the Xuandu Temple disciples will not be able to withstand it and may lose their lives.
The Sima clan of Jin Dynasty had an immortal weapon to suppress the fate of the clan, and they had just neutralized the country in the midst of hardships and hardships. How could the Qi Bai clan be so bad?
Since ancient times, any family that can compete in the world and finally reach the top is the best among the best. The weaker ones cannot break out of the siege and have the last laugh.
And each royal family unified part of the human race's territory. After the founding of the country and the establishment of the dynasty, they had boundless territory and were able to control more resources.
The speed of development and growth will only be faster than before becoming a royal family!
The price of transforming a family into a royal family is to bear countless human karma, and the disciples in the family will no longer have the chance to become immortals.
For such a heavy price, the rewards are naturally extremely generous.
All the resources in the world are in your hands, you can take whatever you want!
If you jump into such an unfathomable quagmire, you will drown.
During the exchange room, Zhou Qing and Bai Ruoyue came to Yijinfang.
Major business organizations such as the Wanxing Chamber of Commerce are gathered here. It is the land specially allocated for them by Yujing.
You can see various chambers of commerce, trading houses, markets, and trading places.
Zhou Qing wants to find two materials for the Six Spirit Puppet to advance to the realm. Of course, coming here is the most suitable place.
Yijinfang was very lively, and most practitioners gathered here. Zhou Qing took Bai Ruoyue straight to the Wanxing Chamber of Commerce.
The Wanxing Chamber of Commerce here is very impressive, with a height of nine floors.
After entering the chamber of commerce, it is very vast, with people coming and going, booths lined up, and products displayed one by one.
Zhou Qing observed that the products on the first floor were all from the flesh and blood realm and the visualization realm. There was nothing better. They should be on the upper floors.
"The planning is quite good."
Find the staff of the Wanxing Chamber of Commerce, and then Zhou Qing and the two were taken to see the supervisor of the Venerable Realm.
“A distinguished guest is here.”
After a few polite words with the steward, Zhou Qing directly expressed his request.
Yuan Tu, Haina Gold, and a few treasures that are still missing for refining the Ten Earth Treasure Liquid.
The steward thought for a moment and gave Zhou Qing's answer, they have two treasures needed to refine the Ten Earth Treasure Liquid.
“Yuantu and Hainajin, these two things are mostly used in the way of puppets, and the Chamber of Commerce does not have them in storage now.”
“But I can provide Zhou Daoyou with news about Yuantu. ." Zhou Qing cheered up, "I'm willing to buy this news."
The steward shook his head and said: "There are not many people who know this news. I will give it to Taoist Zhou for free." He has collected Yuan Tu on a large scale and used it to refine puppets. Even now, he is still purchasing Yuan Tu intermittently. Earth, the Yuantu he has must not be used up, there is still some leftover."
"It is more efficient for Zhou Daoyou to go directly to Taoist Tiemu than to look for it elsewhere. Most of the Yuantu from major chambers of commerce are there. They were all acquired by him.”
“Have you been acquiring Yuantu?”
Zhou Qing thought for a while and asked: "I wonder where that Taoist Tiemu came from?"
"A casual cultivator, he got some opportunities by chance in his early years and was related to the puppet. Now he is a master in the underworld. He runs the Jade Puppet Pavilion in Yujing, specializing in the puppet business, and now has a wide range of contacts. "
This kind of information is of little value and can be easily found, so the manager is also direct. Told Zhou Qing.
"Is this so..."
Zhou Qing made a decision in his heart and purchased the two treasures needed for the Shidi Baoye from the Wanxing Chamber of Commerce.
But he did not leave immediately, but purchased other things, such as things that were also useful to Bai Ruoyue, and various medicinal materials.
If the Thousand Medicine Gourd wants to be effective, it must be filled with various medicinal materials. Zhou Qing definitely does not have thousands of types of medicinal materials, so he needs to purchase them from outside.
A mouthful of Qian Qi can extend the life of the Venerable by ten years and increase the merit of one month of hard training. Zhou Qing is quite looking forward to it.
After the purchase was completed, the two went to the White Jade Chamber of Commerce.
The strength of this chamber of commerce is also very strong, because the person behind it is the Qi Bai family, who has the support of the royal family in Jade Capital City, so it is difficult not to grow.
In the White Jade Chamber of Commerce, Zhou Qing obtained Haina Gold and another treasure needed for the Ten Earth Treasure Liquid.
I also harvested some various medicinal materials, but not as much as I got at the Wanxing Chamber of Commerce.
Later, Zhou Qing went to many well-known chambers of commerce in Yujing City and obtained a lot of various medicinal materials.
In fact, he can find others to do such things, there is no need to go there himself.
But because Bai Ruoyue was there, Zhou Qing not only went to buy treasures, but also walked around Yujing with Bai Ruoyue to relax.
It's just a pity that I didn't get Yuan Tu.
“It seems that we can only go to that Taoist Tiemu.”
In the huge Yujing, there must be other people with Yuantu, such as within the royal family, but in comparison Now, it would be easier to find the Taoist Tiemu.
Bai Ruoyue asked worriedly: "Taoist Tiemu collects Yuan Tu, and he should have his own uses. Will he not be willing to trade with you, my junior brother?"
"Let's try it. ”
Zhou Qing did not go directly to Jade Puppet Pavilion, but returned to Daqi Taoist Temple first. He found a piece of information about Taoist Tiemu.
Daqi Taoist Temple will conduct certain investigations on the famous masters in Yujing City to understand their origins and various information.
Now it is convenient for Zhou Qing to check it at any time.
Tiemu Taoist, a master of the underworld and the underworld.
The Nether Realm is the first small level of the Underworld Realm, but if it is in the Earth Realm, it is extraordinary and refined after all, and its strength is very tyrannical.
In addition to being a master of the underworld realm, Taoist Tiemu also has a puppet that is comparable to a warrior from the ground, which he refined himself.
Of course, the strength of that puppet is only at the Nether Realm level, which is almost the same as him. And since the birth of the Earth Realm puppet, although he has refined the Earth Puppet for others, he has never had it himself. Possess a second earth puppet.
Puppet cultivation is not that simple. Every puppet cultivator usually has a natal puppet, and it is relatively easy to improve this natal puppet.
But it will be very difficult to refine a powerful puppet again later.
Not only are the material treasures difficult to collect, but the level of puppet refining is also very high.
However, even if there is only one earth-level puppet, Taoist Tiemu has a great reputation. After all, compared with other casual cultivators, he can be said to be "strong in numbers".
Taoist Tiemu has a weird personality. For example, if someone asks him to refine a puppet, it all depends on his mood.
If you are in a good mood, you will take action even if the reward is small. If you are in a bad mood, you will not see him even if the reward is high.
However, his actions are relatively fair. The price he pays for helping people and the price of puppets sold in Jade Puppet Pavilion are not high and are relatively reasonable.
For puppets that cannot be refined, he will make it clear in advance that he will not deliberately take on difficult jobs just for the sake of reward.
There is no bad reputation about this person. At most, he is difficult to get along with.
Tiemu Taoist began to collect Yuan Tu two years ago, saying that it was used to refine new puppets, but his collection of Yuan Tu has not ended until today.
Yuantu is a treasure with a wide range of uses in puppet refining. It is peaceful, tolerant, and malleable. It can be used in most types of puppet refining.
Zhou Qing read the information from Taoist Tiemu, pondered for a while, and decided to meet the puppet master.
This time he did not take Bai Ruoyue with him, and went to Andingfang and Jade Puppet Pavilion alone.
This is a two-story building with a large yard behind the building.
"Young master, welcome to Jade Puppet Pavilion. What do you need?"
Zhou Qing said straight to the point: "I am Zhou Qing, a disciple of Xuandu. I would like to meet you, Tie Tie. Master Mu. "
"Ah, sir, wait a minute, I'll report it right away."
Not long after, the man who left just now came out.
"The master of the pavilion asked me to take the young master in, please."
"Trouble."
After walking into the building, a small courtyard appeared in front of you. There was a jujube tree in the courtyard. There are stone tables and benches placed under the tree.
A middle-aged man with a three-dimensional face, empty eyes, and short hair that stood up like a steel needle sat on the stone bench.
“I have met the Master of Ironwood Pavilion.”
"Sit down."
The Master of Ironwood Pavilion refocused his eyes and looked at Zhou Qing with a look of surprise.
"Zhou Qing? I remember that you just became the first true disciple of Xuandu Temple at the end of last year, and now you are already at the second level of true blood refinement?"
He had heard of Zhou Qing, but very Obviously, he knew Zhou Qing, who had just become the number one true successor.
Seeing him now, Taoist Tiemu even thought that someone was bold enough to pretend to be the first true successor of Xuandu Temple.
More than three months, from the first true inheritance to the second true blood refinement?
What a fairy tale!
Taoist Tiemu obviously hasn’t received the news about yesterday’s incident.
Compared with those big forces, casual cultivators do lag behind in collecting information on certain aspects.
“I gained something by chance and broke through to the true blood realm.” Zhou Qing smiled slightly and said:
"It's been about half a month since I came to Yujing."
Staring at Zhou Qing, Taoist Tiemu couldn't get rid of the shock in his heart, and finally said with emotion:
"Relegated Immortal Zhou Qing , It’s well-deserved.”
This kind of cultivation speed is really like an immortal’s cultivation, incredibly fast.
“The master of the pavilion has given you too much praise.”
"Don't be polite." Master Ironwood Pavilion asked:
"I have rarely interacted with your Xuandu Guan. You, a proud Xuandu Guan, must not go to the Three Treasures Hall for anything."< br>
“If you have anything to do, please tell me.”
“I heard that the Pavilion Master has Yuan Tu here, and I want to buy some from the Pavilion Master.”
“Yuan Tu?”< br>
The master of Ironwood Pavilion was a little surprised, nodded and said:
"I do have it here, but Yuantu is of great use to me, I can't sell it to outsiders."
We haven't waited for Zhou yet. Qing opens his mouth to persuade, then listen to Tiemu Dao The person asked again:
“What do you need Yuantu for, refining a puppet?”
“Yes, I have a puppet, and I want to improve its level. I need Yuantu. Such a treasure.”
"A puppet that can make you still run for it with your current strength must be very good."
Tiemu Taoist's eyes lit up and asked:
"If your puppet goes smoothly, level, what level of strength can it achieve?"
"The puppet is at the limit of true blood. If everything goes well, it will naturally become an earth puppet after it is advanced."
" ”
Taoist Temu's eyes became brighter and brighter, and he said:
"How about we make a deal?"
"Pavilion Master, please tell me?"
"I will give you Yuan Tu , and even help you improve your puppet, You don’t need to take any money, you should also need to find someone to help you refine the puppet, I can do it.”
“If your puppet successfully advances, then you can lend it to me for a period of time, and I will return it to you later. ”
Zhou Qing did not expect that Taoist Tiemu would propose such a deal.
Provide Yuantu, help me refine it, and have to borrow it for a while...
Could it be that Liu Bei borrowed Jingzhou?
