Chapter 113 I will exchange the Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures (wholesale version) with you for the right to read the Sutra Pavilion
Duan Muyun, the head of the King of Gu Sect, received Lu Xingshi very warmly and responded to Lu Xingshi’s proposal to spend money to purchase Gu prescription materials. Things were welcomed.
I don’t know what Dai Lishan said to the leader, but Lu Xingshi felt that Gu Wang Sect was very warm and hospitable.
"Head Duanmu, I have a question, why is your name the name of the Central Plains?" Lu Xingshi asked curiously. The names of other Gu Wang Sect members all have the style of the Western Regions, but the head, on the other hand, is serious. Central Plains name.
"My master is from the Central Plains, and I was adopted by him, so I got this name." Duanmuyun explained.
In the Gu King Sect, there are naturally not only people from the Western Regions, but also a small number of people from the Central Plains.
It’s just that the number of people is relatively small, and most of them are adopted from orphans.
In fact, the Gu King Sect is not very popular in the Western Regions, mainly because of their Gu insects.
Not only is he cruel when dealing with enemies, he even becomes a parasite in his own body when practicing.
Not everyone can accept inserting bugs into their body.
Not to mention the names of these Gu insects, which are not very flattering at first glance.
If the people of the Central Plains knew about the Gu King Sect, they would only think of them as heretical people who judge people by their appearance.
In fact, Gu Wang Sect did not do too many evil things. Instead, it was a large producer of certain medicinal materials, breeding various insects to supply medicinal materials.
Even when I first went to inquire with Lu Xingshi, he was a very kind person, not directly poisoning or controlling him with poison like the stereotype.
"I see." Lu Xingshi nodded, then took out a modified human bear bile and said, "This thing is called..."
After he introduced the effect of human bear bile to directly increase the root bone by 15 points, Duanmu Yun's face became moved.
"This thing is really extremely precious. Does Lu Shaoxia plan to use this thing to counteract the poison recipe?" Duan Muyun asked quickly.
Compared with silver coins, this thing is naturally more precious.
It's not that the Gu King Sect can't make money, but this kind of natural and earthly treasures will never be encountered in a lifetime.
At this time, he also vaguely realized that Lu Xingshi was so strong, perhaps because he had a good foundation.
"No, I plan to use this in exchange for a visit to your sect's library. I wonder if Master Duanmu can be accommodating." How could Lu Xingshi use this thing to pay for money? Of course it is in exchange for knowledge.
Although the sales of Langya paper have dropped significantly due to the chaos, Lu Xingshi is really not short of money.
"This..." Duanmu Yun hesitated when he heard this. Not just anyone can enter the library.
It doesn't matter if they are given Gu recipe materials. They have no shortage of usable Gu recipe materials. Those who are not good at learning skills may not be able to use them in small quantities, but they can't use them either.
Failure in refining the Gu insect will only lead to nothing, it is better to sell it and make a profit.
As for practicing? To put it bluntly, the entire Gu King Sect was not even 10% sure of his position as the leader.
Moreover, even if he sells it and can get it again in the future, he is not optimistic that Lu Xingshi can master it, so it is equivalent to clearing the inventory.
No one was buying it in the first place, but now someone is offering a high price. Wouldn't you be a fool not to sell it?
However, looking at their books, I'm afraid this is a bit unfair to the ancestors of Gu Wang Sect.
This kind of custom of cherishing one's own broom is common to most sects, and it must be reserved internally, let alone externally.
"You can test the product first. If it's really as magical as I said, it won't be too late to open it to me later," Lu Xingshi said.
As for not giving it after use? Then don't blame Lu Xingshi for being cruel.
You can refuse this deal, and Lu Xingshi will naturally turn around and leave, but if you still make small moves with him after collecting the things, then Lu Xingshi will definitely not be able to bear it.
"Can you give Lu Shaoxia an explanation tomorrow? I need to discuss it with the elders of the sect."
"It will take some time to take stock of the poison ingredients that Lu Shaoxia needs and deliver them. Why not travel around the scenery of the Western Region today." Of course Duanmu Yun did not decide immediately.
Naturally, he cannot solve such a big matter by himself.
It is true that he is the head of Gu Wang Sect, but Gu Wang Sect is not his sect alone, and its internal structure is also intricate.
Wherever there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and wherever there are rivers and lakes, there are struggles, not to mention that Gu Wang Sect is within the rivers and lakes, so factional struggles are naturally inevitable.
There is definitely such a thing as a conflict of interest.
"Of course there is no problem. As long as I leave the Gu King Sect, this deal will be valid." When Lu Xingshi heard this, he was very excited.
The fact that Duanmu Yun could go out to negotiate meant that he was more inclined to open the library to Lu Xingshi in exchange.
Otherwise, I would have rejected it long ago, but it is just that I cannot solve it due to my own reasons.
In particular, Lu Xingshi talked about the use-now-pay-later model, which can also avoid Lu Xingshi's nonsense.
"Then thank you Lu Shaoxia. I will definitely give Lu Shaoxia an explanation tomorrow." Duanmu Yun definitely can't delay things as Lu Xingshi said. If it can be done tomorrow, there will definitely be no problem. If it can't be done, there will be no chance in the future.
After saying that, Duanmu Yun sent Lu Xingshi out, and arranged for him food, accommodation and a disciple as a tour guide, so that Lu Xingshi could take a look around.
Lu Xingshi didn't care, since the goal had been achieved anyway.
The disciple who took Lu Xingshi around was named Doha, and he was a strong young man. From the other party's mouth, Lu Xingshi also learned some things about the Western Regions.
For example, the second prince who was named King of Qin was stationed in the Western Regions and had always implemented benevolent policies and was also building troops.
It seems that he has already had objections?
Think about it, after the prince ascends the throne, he will be replaced by his nephew, and then he will return to Kyoto and become a fattened pig, and he will be suppressed by the literary party. During this period, his father will be killed. With the emperor's implicit support, anyone would have to think this way.
In terms of background, the second prince must have been a military commander, so there was no way he could pee in a pot with Wen Dang.
It's just that the situation has changed dramatically, and now the second prince is caught off guard.
"So the succession edict is actually true?" Lu Xingshi asked curiously.
How could he know what was true or false? There were a lot of rumors, and Ting Fengting could not find out everything. Therefore, the old emperor abdicated the throne in favor of the second prince. In fact, it was impossible to distinguish the truth from the truth.
"It's true." Doha nodded: "The palace owner of Huangjue Palace came from the Central Plains and personally escorted the imperial edict from Kyoto. It cannot be faked."
"It was sent by the Palace Master of Huangjue Palace. Its authenticity cannot be doubted."
"In other words, the ones in Kyoto are the fakes..." Lu Xingshi was a little bit confused.
These people were real and fake, and he really couldn't tell them apart.
However, he could also see that Gu Wang Sect favored the King of Qin between the imperial court and the King of Qin.
After all, it was the King of Qin who gave them various policy preferential treatment, and the court was really unfamiliar with it. Even though the King of Qin represented the court, my vassal, not my vassal, was clearly shown here.
"Yes, Princess Pingyang is the usurper." Doha said calmly.
As for Princess Pingyang, not many people in the Central Plains knew her, let alone the Western Regions.
In his early years, he did make his way through the world, but he was just an unknown person.
If she didn't have the background of a princess, who would care about this character.
Lu Xingshi didn't know even more. The old emperor's heirs didn't care at all, and no one would care about such a maverick princess.
And because she was unique, she was closely guarded by the royal family to avoid damaging the reputation of the royal family.
Before Princess Pingyang and Prince Consort Pingyang turned the tide in Kyoto, no one knew about it, but it was precisely because of the heavy damage to the three thousand Qingqi of the Liao Kingdom, the repelling of Aha Chu, and the preservation of Kyoto that the name was immediately spread throughout the world.
This behavior gave the impression that Da Song was about to come back to life.
Unfortunately, the illusion is just an illusion.
The south of the Yangtze River was in chaos, and the King of Qin in the Western Regions was eyeing him. Although the King of Liao in the north of the Great Wall was defeated, he not only did not harm his roots, but also gained the old emperor and the crown prince. Tongzhou began to expand like a wolf and a tiger, and various thoughts were born in various places because of the decline of imperial power.
Lu Xingshi also saw the most fatal point, which was land annexation.
This gave rise to powerful families and numerous sects.
Unless the Prince Consort of Pingyang is a fierce man descended from heaven and solves this problem by himself, it is possible to alleviate the conflict and allow Da Song to live another life.
"I heard that Lu Shaoxia is the King of Yan? Why do you want to risk your life?" Doha asked with some confusion.
In his eyes, Lu Xingshi was a king, not only without ostentation, but also without any guards. He had heard some rumors, but now it seemed a bit unworthy of the name.
Lu Xingshi looked more like a scholar, almost as if he was powerless.
"Look what you said, there are still many good people in the world, no matter what is dangerous or not." Lu Xingshi also agreed. This meant that everyone who dared to attack him would be beaten to death, and then all the remaining people would be killed. He is a good person.
Doha only felt that Lu Xingshi had little experience in the world of martial arts. The world was dangerous and there were so many good people there.
But he didn't refute, knowing what to say and what not to say.
Lu Xingshi was a distinguished guest of their Gu Wang Sect, and he would offend the distinguished guest only if he was confused.
He had heard that what he was doing this time was a big deal. After it was completed, their Gu Wang Sect would have no worries about food and clothing for the next ten years or so.
It is too late for him to provide for such a rich man.
"By the way, what are the major sects in the Western Region? What's the inheritance?" Lu Xingshi asked about it and thought about it, otherwise he would go and visit them.
"There are quite a few, and our Gu King Sect is only average in the Western Regions." Doha did not brag about how strong his Gu King Sect was, but told the truth, and then introduced it to Lu Xingshi: "As for the major sects in the Western Regions, it is definitely Vajra Sect…”
"Next is the Golden Flower Sect, although it is not as good as the Vajra Sect..."
"And then there's Jin..." Doha gushed.
Lu Xingshi couldn't help but interrupt: "Why do they all begin with gold?"
"Isn't it bad? This is the meaning of the word "gold" in gold. Gold is precious, so it is normal to change the word to start with the word "gold".
"If our Gu King Sect develops, we will change it to the Golden Gu Sect in the future." Doha said seriously.
After listening to the explanation, Lu Xingshi didn't know whether it was better to be honest or affordable.
