Strange mountains and rivers

"Brother Chen is serious. The Sun family and the Chonghua faction should be allies now. They should help each other. Brother Chen can trust Kuixing Pavilion. Kuixing Pavilion will naturally not let Brother Chen down." Sun Daoyi did not ask Chen Huaisheng what he wanted. , and immediately agreed: "As long as Kuixing Pavilion can help, Brother Chen, just ask."

"I have heard for a long time that Kuixing Pavilion has a long history of making spiritual talismans and has excellent craftsmanship. Chen hopes to purchase a batch of higher-level spiritual talismans for backup..."

Purchasing spiritual talismans is the most common thing. Any monk who wants to go out for training will need some spiritual talismans to prepare for unexpected events. There are many types of spiritual talismans. For a monk, the number of spare types varies.

Just like the offensive charms are divided into five elements, the tonic charms also need to be divided into replenishing spiritual energy and healing.

In addition, there are other auxiliary talismans, such as speed increase, hiding, defense, etc., and there are also special talismans, such as talismans against evil spirits.

The production of spiritual talismans is also closely related to the spiritual realm and level of the talisman maker. Generally speaking, a talisman maker can produce spiritual talismans that are two to three levels higher than himself, but the higher the level, the higher the level. , its production capabilities will also be limited.

For example, Sun Daozhong is at the fifth level of Qi Refining, but his production ability is average, and he can make spiritual talismans with attack power close to the strength of the sixth level of Qi Refining. His brother Sun Daobin, who is at the fourth level of Qi Refining, but has strong production ability, can make magic charms that are equivalent to those at the sixth level of Qi Refining. A spiritual talisman with seven levels of Qi attack power.

Talisman masters who are above the level of foundation building can basically only produce spiritual talismans of the same level, and rarely can produce spiritual talismans higher than their own spiritual level.

As for Talisman Masters above the Zi Mansion, they are relatively rare, because monks at this level almost never specialize in making spiritual talismans. They mostly do it as they please or as entrusted by others.

Similarly, the use of spiritual talismans is also limited by the user's spiritual level. Generally speaking, it is considered good to be able to use spiritual talismans that are one level above one's own level. Those who are extremely good or have expertise in the use of spiritual talismans can use spiritual talismans that are beyond one's own spiritual level. Two levels of talismans.

For example, Chen Huaisheng is at the seventh level of Qi Refining. He can activate spiritual talismans equivalent to the attack power of the eighth level of Qi Refining according to the situation, but it is difficult for him to activate and use spiritual talismans at the ninth level of Qi Refining.

"Oh? The magic talisman, there is no problem." Sun Daozhong agreed, "I wonder which level and type of spiritual talisman Brother Chen needs? I will have it sent to Brother Chen for him to choose."

Chen Huaisheng was not polite. He chose seven offensive talismans, which might be the limit of what he could use. He also chose three defensive and escaping talismans, all based on the level equivalent to the eighth level of Qi refining. Chosen.

It has to be said that the price of such high-level spiritual talismans is not cheap, even if it is a special discount from Sun Daozhong, like a shield-breaking talisman equivalent to the eighth level of Qi Refining, the price is as high as 500 spiritual stones, and a blazing sun talisman, 600 Fifty spiritual talismans, an eight-layer strong shield talisman, and a whopping seven hundred and fifty spiritual stones.

If the normal selling price is used, these spiritual talismans are basically more than eight hundred spiritual stones, which is almost a discount.

Chen Huaisheng also casually asked how much a shield-breaking talisman of the second level of Foundation Establishment would cost. Sun Daozhong's answer was two thousand spirit stones, and the quantity was scarce, which also made Chen Huaisheng speechless.

After the talisman business was settled, Chen Huaisheng mentioned the fire mane raw materials needed for the processing of dragon skin robes and fire wheel thorns.

Kuixing Pavilion has no problem with the processing of dragon skin robes, but Kuixing Pavilion does not have the raw materials for the fire bristle required for the fire wheel thorns, or the high-end goods that Chen Huaisheng hopes for are not available.

"Except for fire-maned wild boar and fire-maned porcupine, there are only fire-maned hedgehogs. Only fire-maned hedgehogs may produce fire bristles that Brother Chen needs, but fire-maned hedgehogs are rare, and even less so in Hebei. "

Sun Daozhong shook his head regretfully: "I haven't seen anyone selling this thing in at least ten or twenty years. The fire bristles of the fire-maned porcupine are quite good."

They had tried their best, but there was indeed no goods, so Chen Huaisheng had no choice but to give up.

Kuixing Pavilion is already considered one of the best merchants in the six roads of Yanzhou. It has no goods, and it is probably even less available in other places.

But it has to be said that the business and trade here in Hebei is quite different from that in Da Zhao.

For example, Kuixing Pavilion, one of the best cities in Yanzhou, is actually not as good as Longhuafang, which was originally established by the Chonghua Sect in Longyanfang City. This shows how big the gap between the two places is.

Chen Huaisheng was also a little surprised by the enthusiasm, kindness, and even flattering gestures shown by the Sun family.

Although a large family like the Sun family has declined from a powerful family hundreds of years ago because there were no disciples from the Zifu or even high-level foundation-building disciples in the family for several generations, and has degenerated into an ordinary clan, it still retains considerable strength. .

Special abilities such as refining elixirs, magic tools and spiritual talismans, and its commercial and trade network are also very valuable, and no one can ignore it.

For such a special clan, even the Chonghua sect will attach great importance to it. It seems that they do not need to treat themselves with such preferential treatment.

Especially when Sun Fuli finally came out to host a banquet, Chen Huaisheng was even more confused.

Could it be that he has seen his potential in the future, so he wants to invest in advance?

Chen Huaisheng felt that it might not be the case.

If you really want to bet, Xu Tianfeng and Zhao Sitian should be more dazzling, and people like Wang Yao should be more worthy.

Or maybe they couldn't reach it, so they happened to meet me and they had such a connection, so they thought they could contact each other?

But Chen Huaisheng always felt that there must be some other reason here, and it couldn't be that simple.

Since the Chonghua Sect intends to win over them, and the Sun family also intends to do so, there is no reason why they should have to "keep in touch" with themselves like this.

During the banquet, it was not until Sun Fuli intentionally or unintentionally asked about You Shaoyou's temperament, and "accidentally" mentioned that Ding Yuangao, the son-in-law's elbows turned outwards, that Chen Huaisheng slowly came back to his senses.

You Shaoyou's domineering Chen Huaisheng had long known that such powerful characters as Cao Renben and Guo Chongdao were as obedient as sheep in front of You Shaoyou.

In the entire sect, except for Shang Jiuling, Zhu Fengbi and Li Yu, everyone else was ignored by You Shaoyou. Like Ma Daochun and Xu Muyang, they were suppressed as much as when they faced You Shaoyou.

Now You Shaoyou is in charge of the White Pagoda House. Neither Ding Yuangao nor Sun Fuyi have much say in front of You Shaoyou.

Of course, the Ding family has just joined the Chonghua sect, so You Shaoyou has to give Ding Yuangao a little favor. However, the Sun family has not yet joined the Chonghua sect. Since it is an alliance and cooperation, I am afraid that You Shaoyou will not give it. How much face does the Sun family have?

He heard the Sun family's dissatisfaction with You Shaoyou.

Not only You Shaoyou's disrespect for the Sun family, but also the many demands placed on the Sun family during the initial construction of the White Pagoda Lower Court, as well as the various precautions taken against the Sun family, may have made the Sun family feel a little breathless.

Chen Huaisheng would definitely not get involved in such matters, as that would be of no benefit to anyone.

Not to mention that he didn't have the strength to get involved, even if he did, he wouldn't be able to turn his elbow away just because of some small favor from the Sun family. Besides, he didn't think there was anything wrong with what You Shaoyou was doing right now.

Your Sun family was submissive under the suppression of the Ding family, but now that you have changed to the Chonghua sect, do you think it’s time to feel proud?

Since you don't have that strength, then accept the rules set by the strong, otherwise you will be the one who suffers.

"Senior Sun, Brother Daozhong, thank you very much for your hospitality." After three rounds of wine and five dishes, Chen Huaisheng put down the chopsticks and said, "I can probably understand what you two mean. If you are playing tricks on me, I think you two will probably think so. Chen is too hypocritical, but if I tell the truth, I am afraid that you two will be unhappy, and if I avoid talking about it, I am worried that I will miss the Sun family in the future."

The last sentence made both Sun Fuli and Sun Daozhong shudder.

Missed the Sun family?

These words can be big or small, light or serious.

"Brother Chen's words are serious. The Sun family is willing to respect the Chonghua sect. We only follow the horse's lead and have no second thoughts. But at the moment, we don't know the meaning of Chonghua, so we are a little confused..."

Sun Daozhong knew that there were some things that his uncle could not say, so he had to do it himself.

"Senior Sun, Brother Daozhong, I'm afraid you both have a clear understanding of the current situation. The Ding family has returned to Chonghua, while the Du family in Bajiaozhai exists in name only, and the Ning family in Youzhou is strong on the outside, but the Sun family should also know that there is actually no one on Fuyang Road. Being able to challenge the Chonghua Sect, but the Chonghua Sect is not worry-free. The establishment of the White Tower Lower House is the sect's intention. Master You is the one who sponsored it. It is also entrusted by the sect. If it is not done well, Master You will have a hard time explaining it. , the most important thing during this period is the matter of Wei Huaidao next door..."

Sun Fuli and Sun Daozhong both nodded.

It is not a secret that the Chonghua Sect is at odds with the Yuelu Sect because of the Lingyun Sect and everyone around them knows it.

"There will definitely be a battle between Chonghua and the Yuelu Sect. If the Sun family can take the initiative to provide support to Chonghua at this time, I think the Chonghua lineage will definitely remember it in their hearts. If it can be reflected through the lower courtyard of the White Pagoda, Master You will have both face and heart. , I don’t need to say what will happen in the future..."

Chen Huaisheng paused, "After this incident, Kuixing Pavilion will definitely get strong support from the Chonghua Sect, whether it is Wei Huaidao or Zhai Gudao, I think Kuixing Pavilion may not be able to intervene..."

Sun Fuli and Sun Daozhong were both thinking carefully.

If there must be a battle between the Chonghua Sect and the Yuelu Sect, then it is inevitable that the Chonghua Sect will ask for it from the Sun family. Instead of waiting for the Chonghua Sect to come to pay their respects, it is better to offer it proactively and win initiative and gratitude.

As Chen Huaisheng said, once the Chonghua faction wins this battle, Wei Huaidao may not be unable to intervene. For the Sun family, if Wei Huaidao's trade routes can be opened, it will be equivalent to opening up another world.

"Master You will not stay in Baita City for too long. When the time is right, he will return to the mountain gate to take up an important position. There are only benefits to gaining Master You's favor..."

…

When Chen Huaisheng left Kuixing Pavilion three days later, in addition to the carefully made dragon skin robe, he also had a piece of Taiyin yellow paper and a book of ghost scissors.
