"Suixin Pavilion? For Master Xie and me?"
Yu Ci took it in surprise, and when he got it, he suddenly realized what it was. Regardless of Baode being right in front of him, his spiritual consciousness penetrated and scanned the information inside. The message inside is very simple:
"Replacements are coming with the team. Please prepare them, Xie and Yu. On the fifth day of April, the goods will arrive."
Even though Yu Ci had predicted it before, she was stunned when she saw this information. Others must find it baffling, but Yu Ci understands that this message means that he and Zhou Youde, the manager of Suixin Pavilion, have finally reached an agreement, and it is indeed good news:
On the Tianyi Tower that day, Zhou Youde promised to look for treasures in Suixin Pavilion that could extend Yu Zhou's life. He had already found the treasure, and was coming west with the Suixin Pavilion caravan. On April 5, the treasures on the Tianyi Tower would be revealed. At the night banquet, it was displayed in front of everyone.
"Okay!" Yu Ci gave a high-five and stood up suddenly, startling Baode.
Smiling at Baode, Yu Ci was in a really good mood. At that time, he was just thinking about what might happen, but he didn't expect that such good news would fall from the sky. Just as he was about to speak, a thought suddenly flashed across his mind like lightning, and his smile froze.
"Junior Brother Yu?" Baode felt that Yu Ci was a little distracted, so he called out.
Yu Ci stared at him: "Brother Baode, is Senior Uncle Xie not at the mountain gate now?"
"Uh, yes, the sect has ordered Master Xie to go to the north..."
"Uncle Master Xie isn't here either?"
"They went together!"
Baode felt that this promising junior brother had become a little confused. You were informed about this two days ago, so why bother asking again?
Yu Ci stopped talking. After a while, he walked out with his head sullenly. He walked in a hurry and bumped into the door frame with his shoulder without realizing it.
Baode was stunned.
************
Yu Ci found that he was a little confused, and his forehead felt like it was swelling.
"Why did you come here at such a critical time?"
The Yibao Banquet started on the fifth day of April, and now it is early March, with less than a month left. But the ichthyosaur that he had planned to exchange earlier had its true form of heavenly dragon taken away by him. Now its quality has greatly deteriorated and it has long been worthless. If he exchanged it for a "little guy" at that time, he would probably be laughed at. .
The most urgent task is to replace a treasure with the same price as the life-extending thing. If Xie Yan and Xie Liang were here, Yu Ci probably wouldn't bother with this problem, but now they are going north under the orders of the sect. At this time, it is thousands of miles away. How to find the baby?
Yu Ci couldn't help but regret that at Yishan Yunzhou Pier, he didn't go into the valley in time to catch fish and dragons because he was recovering from his injuries. Even that was just trying his luck, but it was better than being stretched thin now.
After walking twice into the courtyard, he felt a little calmer. After thinking about it again, he turned around and headed towards the top of the mountain.
It turns out that Bairi Mansion has collected more than ten spiritual vein acupoints on Danya, and built courtyards and secret rooms at each location for people in the mansion to practice. After the destruction of Bairi Mansion, Wanling Sect and other sects did not take it over immediately, but made some repairs and provided this spiritual treasure land for the Lichen Sect Immortal to live.
Among them, the "Defangzhai" on the top of the cliff is considered one of the most treasured places. The person who lives at this time is not He Qing, who has the highest status, but distinguished guests from the Three Lakes area of Beidi.
Yu Ci was lucky. When he came to visit at night, when he stepped into Defangzhai, it happened to be Gan Shizhen's retreat and he met her soon.
Entering the Buxu realm did not seem to leave any traces on the female cultivator. Gan Shizhen was still as delicate and quiet as ever. When she saw Yu Ci coming in, she only pursed her lips and smiled, showing an indescribable demure and gentleness.
In contrast, Yu Ci was much more anxious. After entering the hall and saying a few words, he said, "Uncle Gan, do you still have that thing of mine?"
He was talking about the fine yarn that was taken from Nan Songzi. That day, he was reminded by Chu Yan and found that this extraordinary magic weapon, which was originally the residence of the evil demon, seemed to have another mystery, so he took it out in the cloud-carrying cart to examine it. Unexpectedly, it happened that Gan Shizhen woke up and discovered the evil energy flowing on the fine yarn. Fearing that he would suffer a loss, he rarely acted like an elder and temporarily took away the fine yarn.
Seeing that he was so eager, Gan Shizhen was a little surprised, but she still nodded, kissed the back, brought a folded red gauze over, and said softly:
"This is your thin veil. I looked carefully and found that it is indeed the legendary Five Yin Mysteries. In order to refine this evil thing, I don't know how many lives were killed. It is a treasure and it should be destroyed. But it should be destroyed." Regardless of the evil method of sacrifice, the object itself is woven with the 'Yang-eating silk' from Liuman Mountain, which is very rare..."
She paused for a moment and then said: "In addition, judging from the traces on the fine yarn, this object was originally a ritual weapon that had been refined, using the Tiangang Earthsha Sacrifice Refining Method, but it was later taken. Using evil methods to erase and suppress it means that the Five Yin Obscurations are not its true nature. As for the actual situation, you still need to study it."
As she said that, she handed over the thin gauze and said with a slight smile: "I have removed all the evil demon sacrificial techniques on it. You can use the Tiangang and Earth Demon Sacrificial Refining Method to start over again, and maybe restore it to its original state. The appearance, I think, should be a quite powerful magic weapon... Well, you don’t like it?”
"No, where is it?"
Seeing the female cultivator frowning, Yu Ci quickly suppressed the disappointment in her heart and reached out to take it. The thin gauze felt warm as soon as I held it, and the evil energy originating from the evil spirits on it disappeared. It was easy to connect with the aura all over his body. There would definitely be no obstacles when practicing the sacrifice.
Although it has always been easy to destroy but difficult to build, a ritual weapon like this has been refined for fifty or sixty layers, and it took one or two hundred years to make the ritual and the magic weapon into one. In this case, it is not easy to erase the results of the sacrifice. That is to say, even if Gan Shizhen takes action, he may not be able to do it in three to five months.
Yu Ci held this magical artifact, not knowing whether he was happy or worried for a moment.
He came here to ask for the fine yarn, but he actually had one intention in mind: to use this magical weapon that had been refined for nearly sixty times as a bargaining chip, at the Yi Bao Banquet on the fifth day of April, whether it was for exchange or Regardless of mortgage, first cut off the life-extending treasure.
But now, this idea is impossible to realize. But he couldn't show it yet. He didn't want to put pressure on Gan Shizhen, so he could only bow and thank him: "Thank you, Uncle Gan."
The female cultivator shook her head: "It's nothing. You saved my life several times. There is no need to talk about these little efforts."
Even though Yu Ci was in a bad mood, she couldn't help but laugh: "How can there be so many times!"
Gan Shizhen was very serious: "Yes, I remember them all."
Yu Ci smiled, but said nothing more and stood up to leave.
Gan Shizhen was a little surprised: "Are you leaving now?"
Yu Ci was so anxious that she could only say random things: "It's almost time, I'm going to go to He Xianchang's place to practice."
The female cultivator suddenly realized that she no longer wanted to stay and watched him leave. Seeing that Yu Ci was about to leave the hall door, Gan Shizhen hesitated for a moment and suddenly said: "Aunt Qing entered Taoism as a fish and dragon. Her ideas are quite different from ordinary people. You have to be discerning."
"Huh?"
This time it was Gan Shi’s turn and she really didn’t want to say more. She just said: "I heard you say before that it has only been about a year since you entered the realm of the gods. To say that you have made rapid progress is a bit conservative. Such progress. Although it is good, you must not slack off in the hard work of the Yinshen, otherwise the inner demons will come together and the years of cultivation may be wasted."
Yu Ci vaguely remembered that He Qing seemed to have said something similar before and after the two nights of practice, so he nodded and said, "Disciples will be careful, and Master He often gives me some advice."
"Since Aunt Qing has told you, I won't say any more."
The female cultivator felt relieved and sent him out with a smile.
Yu Ci left Defangzhai, smiled bitterly, looked up at the sky, the stars and the moon reflected each other, it was already late at night. At this time, he really had nowhere to go except to Immortal He Qing.
In the small pavilion in the garden, He Qing closed his eyes and regulated his breathing. Yu Ci did not dare to disturb him and stood aside with his hands down.
In the past few days, he has been practicing the Yin and Yang method of the Dream, and he has always been guided by He Qing Yin Shen. This makes Yu Ci feel more and more that He Qing's cultivation is really profound and unfathomable, and he is definitely not inferior to Xie Yan and others, and he is quite respectful.
After waiting for a moment, He Qing opened his eyes, and there seemed to be an electric fire shining in the dark night: "Your body is full of energy and your mind is agitated. What happened?"
Yu Ci didn't know how to speak. In the past, when everything was difficult, he was not the first to ask He Qing for help, and he had some reasons to do so. He could tell that Xie Yan, Xie Liang, and Yu Zhou were somewhat estranged from He Qing, and there seemed to be some grudges that he didn't understand. Normally, that's all. For something like this involving life and death, if an accident happened, he would regret it.
But when I came back to my mind, I realized that this was the end of the matter, and I was afraid that nothing could be worse than the situation at hand. If he really missed out on the treasure that could extend Yu Zhou's life because of financial constraints, Yu Ci would never forgive herself for the rest of his life.
He was hesitating, but He Qing showed patience and just looked at him quietly.
Yu Ci finally made a decision: "He Shanchang, this disciple has a difficulty here, which is related to the temple master..."
It was easy to deal with it when he opened his mouth. He explained the ins and outs of the matter in a clear and logical manner, focusing on the current difficulties, and then asked He Qing to make the decision.
The pavilion was quiet for a long time before He Qing could be heard saying, "Senior Brother Yu probably doesn't know about this yet."
The voice is ethereal and elusive. Yu Ci was even more curious about how He Qing judged this, so he just said yes.
At this time, He Qing's voice became cold: "Perhaps you don't know yet, but the sect does not support disciples' use of medicines, treasures and other means to extend their lives."
"How?"
"As your lifespan is about to expire, using heaven-defying methods to continue your life is already half-way into evil, and it will be of no benefit to Xuanmen practice. If you continue to practice in order to achieve a breakthrough, there is a high chance that it will just linger on, and there is a high possibility of becoming a demon. Increase. Do you know this? ”
Of course Yu Ci didn't know, but he shook his head and said: "Ten to ten, it's not completely hopeless. You can still give it a try."
"Yes, you can still give it a try, so the sect has not explicitly banned it, but it is absolutely not allowed to allocate sect resources to be used here."
Yu Ci nodded slowly and began to understand the reason why Xie Yan and others had to make plans for Yulong due to their status in the sect.

The cordon will be raised tomorrow to watch the explosion. Wow, what does this have to do with me? The time for relief has been postponed again... Another week has passed in the blink of an eye. Brothers and sisters, please give Wenjing a seat on the homepage. After twenty-seven consecutive days of struggling to lose weight, I begged for a red ticket. I'll see if I can update it earlier tomorrow.
