Chapter 78.
As they spoke, not long after, a small courtyard of four, appeared in front of them.
“Xiao Yue, look who’s here.”
Lu Wei’er led tan san into the courtyard, then said in greeting.
“Who is it?”
A clear voice soon came from a house to the left within the courtyard, followed by the door of the room opening to reveal Qian Xiao Yue’s figure.
Her gaze skimmed over Lu Wei’er and soon saw tan san standing in the courtyard, then she was first stunned before a smile appeared on her face as she said, “Fellow Daoist Zhou, I didn’t expect it to be you who came.”
Saying that, she hurriedly walked out of the room, then in an offhanded tone, she asked, “I even went back to the place where I lived on the periphery some time ago, mainly to pack up a little bit of stuff, and then I heard that you had also moved away, where have you moved to now?”
“The day you moved out just happened to be the day I was also moving, so I moved to South Street, it’s just that the location is a bit remote, in the last building on South Street, the side is right near the cliff.”
tan san also explained with a smile.
“Even if it’s even more remote, it’s still South Street, I didn’t expect what you said the other day to be true.”
Lu Wei’er sniffed, couldn’t help but give tan san a strange look, she also remembered that tan san did say at first that he also wanted to move to the inner city, only that after she heard that the other party was a Spirit Farmer, she instinctively had some disbelief in her.
When she thought of this, she couldn’t help but blush, and said somewhat uncomfortably, “You guys chat, I just took a short vacation with the steward, and now I still have to go back to work, so I won’t bother you guys.”
After saying that, he hurriedly left.
“By the way, what are you looking for me for?”
Qian Xiaoyue invited tan san to sit down on one of the stone chairs within the courtyard, then asked.
“Didn’t I learn how to make talismans, last time I even looked for you to order talisman paper, it’s almost used up, so I wanted to ask you if you still have it here?”
tan san asked with a smile.
“Of course there is, just intend to take it out to dispose of, if you want to come two days later, there will be no more, you wait for me for a while, I’ll go get it.”
Qian Xiaoyue was stunned, glanced at tan san, seemingly a little disappointed, but still quickly opened her mouth, then hurriedly got up and went into her room.
Immediately afterward, she saw her holding a bunch of talisman paper out, just two round trips, and then that stone table was piled up.
tan san roughly counted, this is at least thirty stacks of talisman paper, and also do not know whether it is a habit or intentional, this each stack of talisman paper, not the general measurement of fifty, but fifty-five.
And the price he negotiated with Qian Xiaoyue at the beginning, it is a piece of lower-grade spirit stone fifty-five.
Calculating in this way, the total number of these thirty stacks of talisman paper was one thousand six hundred and fifty sheets.
This was not a small amount.
With Qian Xiaoyue’s speed of making talisman paper, it would take at least two to three months to make these talisman papers.
In other words, ever since the two of them had negotiated their cooperation last time, she had been accumulating talisman paper and had not even bothered to set up a stall to sell it.
And these talisman papers were obviously prepared for herself as well.
“It’s still the same price we agreed on back then, fifty-five sheets for a piece of Lower Grade Spirit Stone, a total of thirty stacks here, that’s thirty Lower Grade Spirit Stones.
If you don’t have that much, with our relationship, it’s fine to owe it first.”
Qian Xiao Yue said with a smile.
“No problem.
But I’m quite a small fortune now, so I don’t need to owe it.”
tan san looked at Qian Xiao Yue with complicated eyes, and without caring about anything, he reached out and waved his hand, and the thirty lower grade spirit stones were neatly set aside.
Then he also very naturally put this pile of talisman paper, all of it into his storage bag.
“Fellow Daoist Zhou really is a small fortune, to have even a storage bag?”
Qian Xiaoyue gave him a surprised look and couldn’t help but say.
“This is actually a blessing left to me by my family father.”
tan san explained, then said, “I heard that you have recently encountered trouble?”
“Xiao Wei told you about it?”
Qian Xiaoyue glanced at tan san, then said with a relaxed face, “It’s just a little bit of trouble, I met a sister some time ago, who is a disciple of the Water Cloud Immortal Sect, and at that time, it seemed like she was tracking a certain enemy, and told me to notify the Water Cloud Pavilion …… By the way, the Water Cloud Pavilion is precisely the Water Cloud Immortal Sect’s Fengmingwu Square City An office.
On the surface, it is a store, but in fact, it also has the authority and responsibility to examine talents and absorb them into the Water Cloud Immortal Sect.
Afterwards, that sister gave me a token, said that with that token, I can participate in the Water Cloud Immortal Sect’s entrance examination a year later.
Sister’s status seems to be quite high, the steward there even invited me to enter the Water Cloud Pavilion to work after seeing me receive my sister’s token, and by the way, to prepare for the Water Cloud Immortal Sect’s entrance examination one year later.
I have already decided to quit my job from Hexagon Pavilion and join Water Cloud Pavilion.
Therefore, this one trouble is nothing at all and I don’t need to pay attention to it.”
“I didn’t realize that Fellow Daoist Qian had such an encounter?”
When tan san heard this, he could not help but open his mouth wide in surprise as well.
It simply did not occur to him that Qian Xiaoyue, without making a sound, had befriended a disciple of the Water Cloud Immortal Sect, and even had the opportunity to join the sect.
To know, the Water Cloud Immortal Sect is an Immortal Law Sect, and its strength is even above the Qingyuan Sect, only that it is far away from here, which makes its influence not too great.
What’s more, he knows that his own ‘mother’, originally was also the Water Cloud Immortal Sect, has the opportunity to enter the Water Cloud Immortal Sect, but because of the robbing cultivator sneak attack, the immortal path is scattered, which can only be wasted to give up.
It was no wonder that Qian Xiaoyue would say that what he encountered was only minor trouble.
Not to mention that the Water Cloud Pavilion itself was even more powerful than the Six Directions Pavilion, just the Water Cloud Immortal Sect behind it was enough to make any cultivator, including that White Family that managed the Phoenix Ming Dock’s workshop market, have to be in awe. “Everything is just luck.”
Seeing this, Qian Xiaoyue also waved her hand with a smile and said.
“This is actually blessing, chance.
Speaking of which, Fellow Daoist Qian’s fortune, chance is indeed not small.”
tan san, however, had a different view.
He remembered that the two Innate Couples who lived next door to him had actually set their sights on Qian Xiaoyue at the very beginning, but it turned out that she happened to know one of the sisters of the Six Directions Pavilion, namely Lu Wei’er, which allowed her to enter the Six Directions Pavilion as an ‘Alchemy Apprentice’, and made the Innate Couples too scrupulous to make a move against her.
Now, it was another First Grade Beginner Alchemist who had taken an interest in her and wanted to take her as a flat wife.
As a result, this time it was even worse, she simply met a certain ‘sister’ of the Water Cloud Immortal Sect, and she directly soared to the sky, not only was she able to jump to the Water Cloud Pavilion, but she also had the opportunity to join the Water Cloud Immortal Sect ……
“This matter is just an opportunity, as to whether or not I can finally join the Water Cloud Immortal Sect, we still have to look at the examination a year later.
I’m only at the third level of Qi cultivation now, even if I follow my sister’s advice and change to cultivate the Water Cloud Immortal Sect’s basic technique, Water Cloud Technique, I won’t have much of a chance.”
Qian Xiaoyue humbled herself for a couple of sentences before she immediately looked solemn and casually played a soundproofing technique, lowering her voice to say, “Recently, it hasn’t been normal in the workshop market.
So if Fellow Daoist Zhou is traveling, he should still be extremely careful.”
“Did Fellow Daoist Qian find anything?”
tan san also looked aghast.
The two of them had had many experiences of advancing and retreating together, and their mutual trust was extremely high.
It was also for this reason that tan san had revealed his storage bag in front of her, and the other party had told him that he knew a disciple of the Water Cloud Immortal Sect, and that there was the possibility of a chance to join the Water Cloud Immortal Sect.
Now that the other party had revealed the same look he had earlier when faced with a crisis, he reacted instantly.
“You should also know about the discovery of the Fire Crystal Gungsten Iron vein around the Marketplace, and the matter of sending a large number of Marketplace guards to guard it, right?”
Seeing tan san nodding his head, Qian Xiaoyue then continued, “This matter, in fact, has a falsehood, or rather, that Fire Crystal Geng Iron vein, in fact, had already been discovered several years ago.
It was only recently that it was publicized, and only then did the workshop send people over.
Moreover, the reason why so many guards were sent over was not just because the development of the vein required the clearing of a sufficient number of demonic beasts and the like, but also because the top was seizing power.”
“Seizing power?”
tan san froze.
It was a shame to say that he had been staying at home cultivating and farming all this time, and was in the dark about any news from the outside world.
This matter of the Fire Crystal Geng Iron Vein was still learned from the mouth of that Rakshasa Gang.
“That’s right.
The White Family and the Chen Family.
The Bai Family, is the manager of Feng Ming Dock Square Market, and the Chen Family’s power within Feng Ming Dock Square Market is not small.
There was also a Wu Family before, but the Wu Family automatically withdrew due to their involvement in the last workshop market chaos, and for some unknown reason, the Bai Family didn’t retaliate.
And this time, it was a power grab between the Chen Family and the Bai Family.
The people of the Chen family mobilized their influence and assigned most of the guards in the marketplace to the veins.
Immediately after that, those major gang forces that could only be stationed in the outer areas directly announced that they would enter the inner city of the workshop market.
For example, our area of the West Street was occupied by the Tiger Shark Gang, while the area of the South Street where you live, I heard that it was assigned to the Rakshasa Gang ……”
tan san nodded his head in a hurry.
Having five lower grade spirit stones taken away for nothing, he could still remember it.
“Then why is this?
I felt something was wrong at that time.
How could there be a reason to leave law and order to be managed by gangs?
Isn’t this the more it’s managed, the more chaotic it becomes?”
tan san couldn’t help but ask.
When he was selling spirit talismans before, he had also heard from the owner of the Fu Yuan Ju store that because there had been quite a lot of chaos in the marketplace lately, a lot of cultivators would bring a few spirit talismans of their own to protect themselves, which was why the prices of the talismans had all risen quite a bit.
“Because of the chaos, they have a chance.”
Qian Xiaoyue said, and couldn’t help but explain again, saying, “This is actually what I heard from that steward of Water Cloud Pavilion, according to him, the earliest Feng Ming Dock workshop market was actually always managed by the Chen family.
But since the Bai family came out with a Bai Dongxian, which is now the Bai family’s old man, the market has only changed its position to the management of the Bai family.
But after all, the Chen family is deeply rooted in the market for a long time, but also not willing to be taken away from the industry.
That’s why there was the last chaos in the workshop market.”
“You mean to say that the Chen Family had already stepped in during the last Square Market Rebellion?”
tan san was startled.
If he remembered correctly, last time, it was because the Bai Clan’s ancestor was injured that the Wu Clan joined forces with the Feng Clan of the Divine Wind Valley to create that chaos.
There was no news that someone from the Chen Family had struck, ah?
