Fairy cage

A bearded man wearing a yellow robe instead of the standard Taoist robe stood in front of the Yulie Stone House. He looked nearly forty years old, but his vitality gave people a feeling of being smart and capable.

"The poor Taoist Xia Yuanjin."

The yellow-robed Taoist monk stood with his hands behind his back and nodded to the two girls Luo Sen and Miaom who went out to receive him: "I came here today to talk about the camp with the rest of the fellow Taoists in the room."

Apart from this person, there were no other followers or other personnel behind him to build up his momentum.

For upper-level Taoist disciples, their magic power is already the best in the entire Taoist disciple stage, and their own magic power is the greatest confidence, and there is no need to rely on others to suppress the battle.

However, behind the yellow-robed Taoist disciples, there were many onlookers.

Especially what Xia Yuanjin and the two women said just now were so powerful that most of the mountains could hear them.

When the other Taoist disciples saw that a high-ranking Taoist disciple had come forward in the camp, hoping that Yu Lie, the elixir dealer, would take out the elixirs and share them, they were all greatly moved and became happy. Especially those Taoist disciples who were not prepared in advance and were about to run out of elixirs in their hands, they were looking forward to it in their hearts.

"Finally, a senior has come forward. It's long overdue. If this person could bring out more pills, I, the Taoist disciple of Qianzhou, wouldn't have lost so many people in the past few days."

Humming discussions echoed around Yu Lie's stone house:

"It's exactly what fellow Taoist said. Ghost energy is harmful to the human body and must be driven away by pills or charms. With enough pills, we can not fall behind when we fight with Taozhou Taoist disciples in the wild!"

In addition to expecting Yu Lie to respond to this matter, there were also many Taoist disciples whose eyes flickered and said:

"In the past half month, there have been at least tens of thousands of pills sold through those two female channels. In my opinion, the reason why everyone failed to buy pills in the palace is because these profiteers are hoarding them. !”

"I heard that they also sold the elixir to Taozhou Taoist disciples. Isn't this an attempt to support the enemy!?"

Luo Sen and Miao Mu glanced behind the yellow-robed Taoist disciple with embarrassed expressions, and then glanced at the yellow-robed Taoist disciple coldly.

The two women didn't know that this man was deliberately talking about things in front of everyone with evil intentions.

But they communicated with their eyes and did not act rashly.

Luo Sen smiled calmly and returned: "This matter is important. Please wait a moment, fellow Taoist, and let us think about it."

As she spoke, Miaom silently stepped back and walked towards the house.

The yellow-robed Taoist disciple nodded casually, and just when Miaomu was about to step into the room, the man's lips moved.

Miaomu paused slightly, as if he heard something. He calmed down before entering the house completely.

At this time, in the stone house, the rest of the group who should have been practicing had already opened their eyes and looked at the door of the stone house faintly.

As soon as Miaomu came in, his eyes met Yu Lie's.

She immediately stepped forward to salute and said: "Mr. Lang, there is a rude yellow-robed Taoist disciple outside the house. His cultivation level is also high. He is eyeing our pills."

Although Yu Lie had clearly heard the conversation between the three of them, he just nodded and listened quietly to Miaomu's retelling.

After Miaom finished talking about the evil intentions of people in the future, he continued:

"But the person just sent a message saying that although it was for the sake of the overall situation, Lang Jun, you are not an ordinary person. You have such cultivation at a young age, and you can make friends with Lang Jun.

If Lang Jun is willing to make a friend, the elixir can be sold by them, and they will be divided into 30% and 70%. "

When Yu Lie heard this, he smiled half-heartedly: "If you make friends, I will give them 30%?"

Miaomu looked embarrassed and whispered: "That guy thinks it's Lang Junsan, they are seven."

This answer completely made Yu Lie burst out laughing.

Although he had been wary of the five high-ranking Taoist disciples for the past few days, the "37 points" they gave him still made him laugh.

Yu Lie said with emotion: "It seems that tiger skin is not as useful as tiger claws after all. These old guys think that by making peace together, they can bully me. Yu Lie is weak."

In the past month, the camp has been turbulent. Among the more than 30,000 Taoist disciples in Qianzhou alone, the number of high-ranking Taoist disciples is far more than five.

The reason why only five Taoist disciples stood out in the end and took control of the camp was closely related to the strategy of these five people to unite vertically and horizontally.

Other high-ranking Taoist disciples who wanted to compete with them for power were either suppressed or subdued, and some died outside the camp.

As the other five people contributed to the stability of the camp, the Taoist disciples on the Qianzhou side became more and more obedient to them, and the other party was able to command everyone to a certain extent. It was precisely because of this that the yellow-robed Taoist disciple dared to come over and use the name of "overall situation" to suppress the rest of the group.

But in Yu Lie's view, the other party's so-called overall situation is really funny.

He suspected that the five people on the other side had been confused by the "power" in recent days and had lost their minds.

It should be noted that the rest of him is also a high-ranking Taoist disciple, and he still holds the elixir in his hand. If he is unhappy and joins forces with the dissatisfied Taoist disciples in the camp, he will most likely overturn the situation that the other disciples have worked hard to create.

In fact, what Yu Lie didn't know was that the biggest reason why the Huangpao Taoist disciples immediately targeted Yu Lie again after stabilizing the situation, even ignoring the token he hung on the door, was the above-mentioned reason. .

If Yu Lie was peacefully cultivating, the yellow-robed Taoist disciples would definitely ignore him.

But unfortunately, not only did Yu Lie hold the elixir, but he was also a high-ranking Taoist disciple, and he could not be ignored by many people.

In particular, these few people on the other side have been working very hard and taking a lot of risks in order to stabilize the situation.

As a result, after surviving such exhaustion, the five of them did not gain much benefit from it. Most of the soul-nurturing drugs collected by the Taoist disciples in Qianzhou were harvested by Yu Lie through elixirs.

This made the Huangpao Taoist disciples not only unhappy, but also angry.

After Yu Lie sighed, he didn't think too much.

He did not act rashly, shook his head, and said to Miaom:

"Go and tell Xia Yuanjin that I know they also have a batch of medicine hidden in their hands. There is no need to share the pills with them. As long as they give all the soul-nourishing medicines they have acquired to I, my elixir will be at their disposal, and I will end it in one go."

When Miaom heard this, he immediately made a calculation silently in his heart.

She found that based on the current exchange rate for elixirs in the camp, this situation was equivalent to a 50-50 split for Yu Lie, Huangpao Taoist and others, which was not too much of a disadvantage.

Moreover, what Yu Lie asked was that the other party should pay off the medicinal materials in one go. For Yu Lie, this would save a lot of time. For the Huangpao Taoist disciples and others, it would make it easier to control the elixirs. A win-win move.

Miaomu breathed a sigh of relief in his heart and said: "Lang Jun is wise."

She immediately walked out of the stone house and informed Luo Sen of the news, who then negotiated with the yellow-robed Taoist disciple.

Outside the stone house, the yellow-robed Taoist disciple frowned when he heard Yu Lie's request.

This man didn't like Yu Lie's "bargaining", but after the two women calculated the value of the pills with him and learned the remaining number of pills on Yu Lie's side, they nodded in agreement. When he came down, his eyes were still happy.

At this moment, in the stone house, Yu Lie was calculating the soul-nourishing medicinal materials that he had collected, and said secretly:

"I already have 70% of the medicinal materials in hand, and with the help of Xia Yuanjin and the others, I was able to gather another 30%. Together, we have a complete set."

Thinking of this, he breathed out a breath of anticipation.

During this experience, he was able to gather together a supply of medicinal materials in just about two months, which is really gratifying.

Once he successfully breaks through and becomes a Taoist priest, he will have gained a head start in the experience, and the slight suppression will not be a problem now.

He can even get involved in the word "Bandan" mentioned in the Dao Master's decree in this world.

Yu Lie didn't want to be able to swallow the residual pill alone, but he just wanted to find more clues, get started, earn credit, and be in the eyes of the higher-ups in the Dao Palace, laying the foundation for his future cultivation at the seventh level.

This is also a major reason why he is eager to break through and become a Taoist official. Selling pills is just a small profit.

After sorting out his thoughts, Yu Lie concentrated his thoughts and once again entered into regulating his breath and nourishing his mind, trying not to let trivial matters spoil his mood.

Just the next day.

When Luo Sen and Miaom came back after completing the transaction, the two women's faces turned pale, ashamed and embarrassed, and they brought back news that could break Yu Lie's state of mind.

With a pale face, Rosen fell in front of Yu Lie in shame, took out a cheap storage bag, and whispered:

"These are the medicinal materials obtained from the transaction. Please count them."

Yu Lie opened his eyes, frowned, quietly tapped some medicinal ingredients, and immediately understood what happened.

The medicinal materials in this storage bag are not large, and most of them are pure raw materials that are about to lose their efficacy. There is not even a drop of the soul-raising medicine that has been prepared.

In other words, Xia Yuanjin and others did not care about credibility and directly cheated Yu Lie of at least half of his soul-nurturing medicinal materials!

This situation instantly made Yu Lie's eyes turn cold, even showing murderous intent.

However, he sat cross-legged, suppressed his mood immediately, and turned to look at Miaom and Luosen with concern.

With the minds and temperaments of the two women, they were able to suffer such a big loss in the transaction. The process was by no means simple.

As expected by Yu Lie, the transaction process was that Xia Yuanjin first took the initiative to hand over these medicinal materials to deceive his trust, but after getting all the elixirs and the remaining medicines, the other party immediately took it into his sleeve. He said nothing more, turned around and left.

Luo Sen and Miaom were angry. They stopped him on the spot, questioned each other, and wanted to take it by force.

On the contrary, the man asked the two women in surprise, asking them how they thought he had so much medicine in his hand, and said that if the two women still needed it, they just had to wait patiently for a while, and they would definitely supply the rest first. .

When Miaomu heard this, he was so angry that he immediately took action, but because his cultivation was far inferior, he was suppressed.

In the end, the man named Xia pretended to be generous and said that he did not expel Miaomu directly from the camp because of Yu Lie's sake.

After telling this, not only Luo Sen, but also Miao Mu showed a look of shame on his face.

Both women whispered: "I am at fault for this matter. Don't worry, Brother Lie, we will definitely try our best to get the remaining medicinal materials for you."

But to the two women's surprise, Yu Lie still had a slight smile on his face after listening.

He held the cheap storage bag in his hand, weighed it, and said with a sigh of relief:

"Nothing, I don't need to trouble you anymore about this matter."

Yu Lie explained with a happy face: "In addition to what's in this bag, I have all I need."

These words were somewhat unexpected by Luo Sen and Miaom, and the two women looked at Yu Lie suspiciously.

But after all, they are only lower-level Taoist disciples, far away from the upper-level ones, and they don’t know how much soul-nurturing medicine is needed to break through to my seventh rank.

So Yu Lie said a few more words, and the two women's faces immediately recovered and became more rosy, making them happy for Yu Lie.

After sending the two girls out, only Yu Lie was left in the stone house.

He weighed the medicinal materials in his hands with a smile on his face:

"Eighty-and-a-half percent...such a weight is enough for me."

Yu Lie put the medicinal materials into his sleeves and entered a state of meditation again.

The next few days.

Step by step, he adjusted his condition to the best. He could no longer make any progress and began to concentrate on preparing the medicinal materials.

On the day when all the medicinal materials were prepared, Yu Lie informed the two women and ordered them to take turns leaving one person in the house to protect the law, officially entering a state of breakthrough.

………………

at the same time.

In another place in the camp, Xia Yuanjin and other five people gathered together to discuss matters in the camp.

Suddenly, someone remembered what happened to Yu Lie and asked, "By the way, has that guy named Yu done anything strange in the past few days?"

Everyone else looked at Xia Yuanjin, who stroked his long beard and shook his head with a smile: "Nothing."

Several other people breathed a sigh of relief, and one of them laughed: "Hey, I got a batch of pills from him for nothing, but this guy still doesn't respond. It seems that he is really a timid person. Although he has a background and is favored by others, he is not good enough." For fear.”

Someone echoed: "Brother Luo's expectation is good. When this son was in the palace, he never had any experience of fighting with others, so he was afraid to avoid it. It is rumored that he only made moves outside the palace, but there is no conclusive evidence. It doesn’t seem to be true.”

It turns out that before plotting against Yu Lie, this group of high-ranking Taoist disciples had already investigated Yu Lie.

However, some people are still worried and say:

"It is suspected that there is a sixth-grade Taoist priest behind this boy, and he is young. If we offend him in this way, will it harm the relationship? Even if he breaks through and becomes a Taoist priest during his training..."

Hearing this, Xia Yuanjin burst into laughter and said:

"Don't worry, fellow Taoist! Xia has estimated that he has at most 90% of the soul-nurturing medicine in his hand. You must know that the transformation of 'Driving Things to the Netherworld' is a big hurdle, not to mention that there is a shortage of 10% of the medicine. , even if it is missing even the slightest bit, it may lead to failure.

And now that we are in the outside world, not in the palace, there is too much hidden danger of breaking through on its own. With his age and temperament, he would never be so stupid and reckless. "

Xia Yuanjin said, he looked around at everyone, and said with a chuckle:

"As for spoiling the relationship... In the later stages, we will be able to take charge of the camp, but we can force the Taoist disciples below to only collect soul-nourishing medicinal materials and not waste time on other things. When the soul-nourishing medicinal materials increase, we will distribute them evenly He is not late either.

If you spread it evenly, it wouldn't be a problem to send a whole portion. Maybe it's too late for him to thank me at the end. "

The other Taoist disciples heard this, thought about it carefully, and found that this was indeed the truth, and the last worry in their hearts was relieved.

"Haha, Brother Xia has considered everything carefully. Drinking wins and drinking wins!"

"It's okay to drink together."
