Chapter 288 Auditor (23)
While Tie Shou reflected on his paranoia, he returned to the hut with Huo Qing, who had planned to go back to rest after practicing martial arts.
He checked the bill balance and found that it was very organized, not much different from when he did it, maybe even a little more concise.
——This kid is so smart that he can get started so quickly. No wonder he uses the big gun towards death...
Even if Tie Shou took a closer look, there was a lot of extra income - no need to think about it, it was naturally the income brought by the wilderness boy.
To be honest, every recycling hut should have a wilderness channel. What is needed there is not high-end goods, retired second-hand products are enough.
If Tie Shou hadn't been cautious and didn't want to be associated with the hometown of the Wilderness Rebels, and had to be a lurker, he would have wanted to cooperate with several familiar tribes.
Since he plans to enter the city now, it seems that there is no problem for Huo Qing, who comes from an innocent family background, to take charge of the industry here.
"You did a great job."
After confirming all this, Tie Shou patted the chair next to him and motioned for Huo Qing to sit down: "Cooperate with others, run industries, resell second-hand products, recycle valuable remains of magical artifacts...you are already in shape."
"I originally wanted to scold you for rashly cooperating with others to buy a house... because you are the owner, and if he does something wrong, you will be the one who suffers."
"But seeing that you are so old and have your own opinions and can decide your own life... I don't care about you."
"An... An Xuan and the others also helped me a lot!"
An Jing had told Huo Qing his real name a long time ago, but the name on the Xuanye City entry permit was still An Xuan. Huo Qing did not let it slip. He explained: "Besides, he taught me them The introduction to the sect’s formations… is really amazing!”
Saying this, Huo Qing excitedly activated the formation he had set up.
Immediately, a burst of spiritual energy surged, and a light purple halo lit up, covering Huo Qing and Tie Shou.
"What?!"
As soon as Huo Qing's formation was activated, as a formation master, Tie Shou was not only shocked but also felt incredulous and ashamed - he was actually trapped by the formation activated by a formation novice? This is too careless!
——And...this is completely impossible in theory! There is already my Hundred Vine Spirit Binding Formation here, how could Huo Qing still place his formation?
"Look! Uncle!"
Just when Tie Shou became nervous, Huo Qing happily pointed to the magic circle on the ground and said: "This is the special spirit gathering formation I learned recently!"
"This formation is quite special. Although the effect is not high, it has a 'nesting' feature and can be placed in other formations to provide it with additional spiritual power. Moreover, it can be stacked up to nine times, and as long as it is stacked to the third times, its effectiveness exceeds that of the more common spirit gathering array!"
Huo Qing did not notice anything unusual about Tie Shou. He enthusiastically introduced the spirit gathering formation he learned from the Taiming Sutra to his uncle. After talking for a long time, he discovered that his uncle's face was dark.
"Damn it, don't suddenly set up a formation at someone else's house and then activate it suddenly next time!"
He gave Huo Qing a brain-destroying blow with his steel prosthetic hand. Iron Hand said angrily: "If I hadn't been your uncle, if someone had encountered this kind of thing, I would have just chopped off his head!"
In fact, it didn't take much force. Huo Qing sighed in pain and nodded obediently - he actually realized that this move was too dangerous, but soon he said cheerfully: "Look, uncle, this spirit gathering array is quite good." It’s awesome!”
"It's really good."
Tie Shou's formation cultivation level has already entered the room. After careful inspection, he muttered: "You have practiced a lot... your proficiency is very high." "That warehouse is really useful!" Huo Qing said with a look on his face. Shu Chang: "There is too little suitable terrain here at the recycling point, and I can't use it at all. With a large, calm and unmanned place, I can practice the formation more than a dozen times a day and correct my mistakes!"
"Besides, the formation knowledge An Xuan gave me is really useful... I always feel that the teaching materials at school are not very complete. No wonder I felt stagnant in learning before."
——Nonsense, a textbook that can be widely circulated is good if it contains one or two sentences of real value that are of sufficient value. How do you expect to teach everything? If I hadn't personally introduced you to it, what would casual cultivators have learned by relying on self-study!
Tie Shou complained in his heart, but praised: "It seems that you are indeed talented. Maybe you can really be admitted to a first-class academy, or even a Taoist academy."
This was originally just a perfunctory statement, but after saying it, he fell into deep thought.
Maybe this is...not perfunctory?
At present, Huo Qing’s potential seems to be better than he imagined?
His martial arts skills are impressive, and under his own guidance, he can even learn the strange formations in the Wilderness Sect... So, does his nephew have any potential that he hasn't seen yet?
...Forget it, never mind this.
Looking up, Iron Hand changed his mind.
He originally planned to hand over the recycling hut to Huo Qing, and then he would completely devote himself to the cause of the Guiyi Army, change his appearance, treat himself as dead, no longer involve his fourth brother's children, and leave him a share of the family property.
But now... Tie Shou looked at Huo Qing with an extremely complicated look.
Maybe...he can, have the potential, to become a master.
——Go and stand on the high ground of Xuanye City.
However, if there is no strength behind, no family lineage, and no company, even if there is enough potential, there is no ladder to climb to high places.
"Hey...uncle?"
After receiving the compliment from Tie Shou, Huo Qing originally smiled happily, but when he noticed Tie Shou fell silent, he asked uneasily: "Is it my magic circle that hinders the Hundred Vine Spirit Binding Array? Then I Demolish it?”
He actually thought it would have no impact, but if Tie Shou wasn't happy, Huo Qing wouldn't insist.
"Why tear it down?"
Tie Shou came back to his senses and looked at the spirit gathering array in front of him. This special spirit gathering array was not unusual. In the Tianyuan world, there were thousands of spirit gathering arrays with completely different principles and effects.
But an array master who can independently set up a qualified spirit gathering array can actually become a master and go out to work to make money.
Huo Qing is not an ignorant student. Although he may have some flaws, he has long been a gang member in his own right. He has experienced blood and fire and is not afraid of fighting.
Maybe... Huo Qing can already take on some more important things.
Exhaling a breath, Tie Shou said in a deep voice: "I have inside information. At this time next year, the affiliated training college of Taiming Taoist Temple, one of the four great monasteries, will conduct a special professional enrollment, and formations will be among them."
"I have some connections in... the city. Maybe I can recommend you to the city to be an auditor."
——Originally, the Guiyi Army was supposed to arrange a lurker in the city... But considering the sacrifice of your parents to complete the mission, and the fact that my eldest sister and I will also work behind the scenes, we should be able to get this recommendation.
