Chapter 120 Marrying Wood

The City Lord's Mansion of Haiqing City is very large. After Qingyu brought Cheng Xinzhan into the mansion, she flipped her hand and released a cloud chariot. She asked Cheng Xinzhan to get on the chariot, and she stepped on a huge leaf to lead the way.

The Yunchariot traveled for a long time in the mansion before arriving at an elegant courtyard. On the plaque at the gate were three characters:

Doula Pavilion.

This is an interesting name for a hospital.

The two of them got off the cloud chariot. Qingyu put it away and walked inside with Cheng Xinzhan.

Just after passing the screen wall, I saw a woman as white as a magnolia standing there gracefully. She was wearing a light plain dress, and her long black hair fell like a waterfall. It still looked a little damp, as if she had just washed her hair and it was not yet dry.

The woman had no makeup on her face, her oval face was pale with a hint of red. She lowered her brows slightly, but her eyes were looking upwards, at the Taoist priest who was much taller than her. It was not artificial, but there was clearly some shyness in her charm.

With such a homely appearance, he was less majestic and more gentle than when he was the boss of Peacock City.

"Eleventh Lady, you are polite."

Cheng Xinzhan smiled.

The two of them often wrote to each other and became very familiar with each other.

"Qie Qing is polite, and his mind is different wherever he goes. In Peacock City he is San Yuan, in West Kunlun he is Yi Fu, and now he calls himself Qie Qing. Are you planning to become famous again as Qie Qing?"

After all, Eleventh Lady is not a pretty girl from a simple family, but a remarkable woman who can run a business in a foreign place and name her own courtyard "Dou Dai". She teases Cheng Xinzhan as soon as they meet.

"Xinzhan, it's okay to use a pseudonym, but why did you change your appearance to be so ordinary?"

Cheng Xinzhan laughed when he heard this.

"The elders in the mountains said that I have been too ostentatious since I started practicing Taoism, so it is better to be more discreet when I walk around outside."

Eleventh Lady smiled upon hearing this, revealing her bright eyes and white teeth.

Yes, he is really outstanding.

Eleventh Lady beckoned Cheng Xinzhan to go into the house. At this moment, she seemed to remember something and frowned and asked,

"How did Xinzhan get ambushed by the Three Realms Demon Dao in West Kunlun? I asked you in the letter, but you never explained in detail."

The two of them came to the hall and sat down, and Qingyu served them tea.

Cheng Xinzhan took a sip and found that it was sweet floral tea.

"I didn't know it at the time. I heard from the elders in the mountains later that the demon was from the Five Ghosts Sect and wanted to refine a magic weapon called the 'White Bone Locking Heart Hammer'. To refine this magic weapon, Yang Xiu's head must be used to open the spirit. I often use Yang Fire to kill demons in West Kunlun, so I was targeted."

"I see."

Xiao Shiyi Niang nodded, but she was thinking in her heart that if she met someone from the Five Ghosts Gate in the future, she would be on equal terms with them and would definitely make a lot of money from them. That was not all, as she heard that the sisters in Bifang City were also engaged in the human trade, it would be best if she could find an opportunity to sell the people from the Five Ghosts Gate to her to vent her anger.

"Xinzhan said in the letter that you were traveling along the great river, but I didn't know where you were. I just thought that the great river flows into the Bohai Sea. I wish you could follow the river and see the sea, remember that I have returned to Haiqing City, and come to find me in heaven. I never thought that you would come."

Eleventh Lady's eyes were sparkling.

Cheng Xinzhan smiled. When he traveled in the northern border, he went to the Tianshan Sword Sect and in Longyou he went to Kongtong Mountain. He had friends in both schools that he met in West Kunlun. When he passed by Jinyuan, he went to Mount Wutai to meet Monk Xiangzai. Next, he wanted to go to Laoshan to meet Xue Lixing and ask him to forge a sword for him.

What a wonderful thing it would be if we had friends wherever we go!

Since I have come to Bohai, which is so close, I naturally have to visit Haiqing City.

"How is your practice going now?"

Cheng Xinzhan asked.

He knew that Xiao Shiyi Niang was practicing the Marrying Wood Method, which was the most clever method and some people said it was a method used by wealthy families.

He also knew that many people in Baiyujing were practicing this method. Some of them had to manage their family businesses and had no time to practice, while others were greedy for pleasure and had no intention of practicing.

Xiao Shiyi Niang is the former.

People who practice the wood marriage method use the magic power of the wood element to form talisman seeds in the seeds of flowers and trees, and then cultivate them. As the flowers and trees grow, part of the spiritual energy they absorb will be transformed into magic power of the wood element and fed back to the talisman owner.

The amount of this kind of feedback is very small, so only by planting flowers and trees into a forest can the master's realm be pushed up.

However, although it is slow, this method has no harm to the body. Unlike taking pills, it will not make it difficult to absorb the medicinal effects, nor will it accumulate pill poison.

According to legend, this was a method that Lu Zu created when he was young for a beauty with very poor Taoist appearance.

However, this lazy method has an obvious shortcoming, that is, the talisman master himself has no combat power. If he does not rely on spiritual treasures, he can only wait for the flowers and trees to awaken their spirits and transform into demons before they can protect the talisman master.

The method is wonderful, but some people have evil thoughts and plant the talisman into the body of the fetus. This is the most notorious Devil's Wedding Clothes Method in the evil world. It is an alien that will be killed on sight by all the righteous people in the world.

"Hey."

Xiao Shiyi Niang sighed, "Now the higher we go, the harder it is to make talisman seeds, and high-quality spiritual wood is also getting harder and harder to find. I won by quantity before, and barely reached the second level, but if I want to make pills with A Talisman and B Talisman, it is still out of reach." Cheng Xinzhan tapped the table lightly with his fingers. It turned out that Shiyi Niang was already in the second level. He knew that those who practiced the Marry Wood Method had to make talisman seeds with the Gangsha that was contaminated by the wood element when they were in the second level. This was not an easy task for the wealthy Xiao family.

"Does Eleventh Lady have a lead bottle?"

The woman looked at him when she heard this, not knowing what he meant.

Cheng Xinzhan turned over his palm, and a drop of purple-pink dew emerged from his palm, surrounded by flaming flower miasma, which was extremely gorgeous and dazzling.

"This is the 'Purple Fire Rotten Peach Evil', which is the Yin Evil of Ding Fire and Yi Wood. Do you think it can be useful for you to conclude the Yin Talisman?"

Eleventh Lady treated him well. Not to mention that she gave him wine to make him famous in Baiyujing, but also gave him a lot of paper, ink, pens and inkstones when he came to Sanqing Mountain later. In comparison, the talismans he took away were very few, and she never asked him to deliver new ones. He remembered this kindness.

Xiao Shiyi Niang widened her watery eyes. She had been looking for it everywhere for a long time without any result, and he just took it out so easily?

"There are some."

Qingyu answered quickly and pulled her master with her hand. The master was looking for Gangsha everywhere, so how could he not prepare a lead bottle.

However, Xiao Shiyi Niang, who was always generous and regarded money as dirt, was a little embarrassed at this moment. She lowered her head and looked at the tea, not knowing what she was thinking.

Cheng Xinzhan smiled and said, "Eleventh Lady, you knew that I had scattered all the talismans in West Kunlun, and that not only could I not give you the talismans I needed this time, but I also had to ask you to lend me some more talisman paper, so you deliberately refused to accept this drop of evil water from me so that I couldn't open my mouth?"

"Pfft."

Xiao Shiyi Niang broke into a smile, rolled her eyes at him, then took out a lead bottle and took the evil water.

"I dare not. If one day you fail to disperse the talisman, and your reputation as a righteous talisman is ruined, and the world knows about it, you will blame a little girl like me."

Cheng Xinzhan laughed.

Soon, delicious delicacies, seasonal fruits, and fine liquors were served one by one.

Just waiting for my brother, I also gave him a tiger bone.

After Cheng Xinzhan had filled his stomach, he did not finish drinking the wine. He picked up the wine jug and poured it into the gourd.

Eleventh Lady couldn't bear to see this anymore, so she asked Cheng Xinzhan to give the gourd to Qingyu and let Qingyu get some wine.

Cheng Xinzhan was not polite at all and handed the gourd over. He had been away from home for the past two years and had not been to the Miao village, so he had finished the wine long ago.

"How long will Eleventh Lady stay in Haiqing City this time? What about your report?"

Cheng Xinzhan asked.

Eleventh Lady replied, "The report was not bad. It was also a matter of luck. I have to thank Xinzhan even more. The first year I took over Haishi was the year Huanzhu Tower hosted the sword fighting competition. Xinzhan, who almost won the top three prizes, stayed at my Haishi Restaurant and made me famous. Since then, the business has been good. Among the one hundred brothers and sisters who reported on their work this time, I am ranked sixth."

Cheng Xinzhan was very impressed that the people in Baiyujing were so good at doing business. The fact that Shiyi Niang could be ranked sixth was definitely not just because she had borrowed the momentum from the Sword Fighting Club.

"It will take a few days to return to Peacock City. By the way, Xinzhan, what are you busy with recently? Are you in a hurry to leave?"

Eleventh Lady asked.

Cheng Xinzhan shook his head. "There's nothing urgent. I just plan to continue along the East China Sea and return to Yuzhang when I reach Kuaiji."

Hearing this, Eleventh Lady blinked and asked tentatively,

"My family will hold an autumn hunt in a few days. Those who place high will receive rewards, including high-quality spiritual plant seeds and family property. Xinzhan, you know that we are all sons of merchants. The clan encourages the sons who participate in the hunt to invite guests to cheer. Do you think you can spare some time to be my guest?"

Cheng Xinzhan nodded and asked, "That's fine, but my realm is low, I don't know if I can help Eleventh Lady."

Eleventh Lady said, "Xinzhan is too modest. Those who are participating in the hunt are all young people like us, and the guests we invite cannot be higher than the third realm. Below the third realm, I think Xinzhan is already very powerful."

Cheng Xinzhan agreed, saying that autumn hunting sounded interesting and would be fun to watch.

Afterwards, the two chatted for a while, and Qingyu took him to the guest area of ​​the City Lord's Mansion to find an empty courtyard to rest. He was a foreign man, so it was naturally impossible for him to spend the night in Shiyi Niang's courtyard.

When Qingyu returned to Doudaiyuan, Shiyi Niang ordered,
"Two things. First, take my ten northern pearls and go to Tiesha Mountain in person to apologize to Sister Guo on my behalf. Tell her that she doesn't have to come to this year's autumn hunt. I have already chosen another guest to help. If Sister Guo wants to make fun of me, let her laugh.

The second thing is to send someone to Peacock City to get all the talisman paper and ink that we have stored in our talisman shop. Haven’t you heard that Cheng Yi Fu is running out of talismans? "

Qingyu took the order and trotted away.

Over the next two days, Xiao Shiyi Niang accompanied Cheng Xinzhan on a stroll around Haiqing City. It was not until the third day that the autumn hunt began.

Early in the morning, Xiao Shiyi Niang led Cheng Xinzhan away from Haiqing City. The Xiao family's autumn hunt was naturally not in the city, but on an island called Changqing Island in the Bohai Sea.

The two of them came to the Bohai Sea from the third world and arrived at a vast area of ​​water with no boundaries and no islands around.

As soon as Shiyi Niang made a few incantations with her hands, Cheng Xinzhan saw that the void in front of him seemed to be lifted up like a corner of gauze, and Shiyi Niang took Cheng Xinzhan into this corner.
