Chapter 207: Senior Sister Ranshan

Li Wuxiang looked at her and said, "You should know how to become the leader of the thirty-six sects, right?"

"...Yes, I know. I need a letter of dharma."

"Didn't you tell Zhou Qinghu about this?"

Zhao Yu stopped crying, wiped the tears from his face with the heel of his palm, and pursed his lips: "I told him before. But when I went down the mountain... my senior brother gave me the Silk Wrap Armor, and I gave it to Zhou Qinghu. When he sent someone to find me, he said he had a way to make the Silk Wrap Armor into the treasure of the Ranshan Sect..."

Zhao Yu mentioned the "Silk Wrap Armor" just now, and Li Wuxiang thought it was just an ordinary self-defense treasure. After hearing what Zhao Yu said, he frowned and asked, "What does the Silk Wrap Armor look like?"

"It looks like a shirt woven from fine copper wire—"

Li Wuxiang immediately understood what it was.

To be honest, in his impression, the Ranshan Sect was poor and run-down, not much better than the small sects run by the wandering cultivators in the mountains. But now after hearing what Zhao Yu said, wow... the Ranshan Sect actually had a real weapon! ?
The thirty-six sects and six mystical schools all have their own treasures. For example, the treasure of the Five Mountains True Form Sect is the "Five Mountains True Form Map" that looks like a tablet - just like the seal of the "Treasure of the Five Mountains", both were used by the Five Mountains True Form Emperor when he was alive.

This kind of thing is closely connected with the destiny of the Five Mountains True Form Emperor and is unique in the world. It is placed in the main altar of the True Form Sect and is called "Benqi".

Get a little bit of material from the original artifact, use it as a guide, and then use other precious materials to create a similar treasure, which is called a "real artifact". The aura of the real artifact is closely connected with the original artifact. For the Six Departments of Xuan Sect, it can transmit the rules of the luck of the magic weapon on the original artifact. For Li Wuxiang, it feels like a signal transfer station - the huge Five Mountains True Shape Map he saw on the Coffin Mountain is the real artifact.

Then, use some common materials to refine treasures similar to the original and real artifacts, which are "treasure artifacts", that is, the kind of tablets that Xu Daosheng and other cultivators hold in their hands. This treasure artifact uses the aura of the nearby real artifacts to make it easier for disciples to communicate with the emperor's true spirit, and it will be faster and easier to summon the gods.

However, in the Chilian Sect, "treasure weapon" is an insult, so they just call it "spiritual treasure".

The Thirty-Six Sects don't have many True Spirits available now, but they did have some in the past, so there are distinctions among the sects, such as the original artifacts, the real artifacts, and the treasure artifacts. Although there are no Daoyun rules on them, the magical effects are different because the materials used in refining treasures were different. For example, the Mysterious Light Mirror he got from Cheng Peixin before was actually the treasure artifact of "Moon Pointing Mysterious Light".

The "silk armor" mentioned by Zhao Yu should be the real weapon of Jin Chanzi of Ranshan Sect - it can't be a treasure. Because if you use ordinary copper wire to weave a shirt similar to Jin Chanzi, the craftsmanship is quite difficult, and if you want to make it strong enough to protect yourself, it will be even more difficult. It is impossible to give something that takes so much effort to make it to ordinary disciples.

Just thinking about how arrogant he was when he first met Zhao Qi, it’s hard to imagine that when he was still on Ran Mountain, he still had the thought of caring for his fellow junior sister.

This incident relieved the blockage in Li Wuxiang's heart a little, so he asked, "What did Zhao Qi say when he wrapped the silk armor around you?"

Zhao Yu was stunned for a moment, but seemed to feel that his question had a deeper meaning, so he frowned and thought carefully: "...I couldn't stand it at that time and wanted to go down the mountain. I didn't think that Master was dead, because Master's immortal lamp was still lit at that time. I actually thought that Master really became an immortal...If he became an immortal, he would definitely not come back."

"I told my senior brother that I couldn't stand it anymore and wanted to go down the mountain to find a way out. He looked very angry at the time and said to me, 'Are you leaving too? Master really misjudged me.' I didn't have much to say, so I packed up and went down the mountain. When I reached the mountain gate, my senior brother chased me down and gave me the Silk Armor, saying that I had no skills and my brain wasn't working well, so I should just take this with me to save my life... It was originally passed down to him by Master."

Li Wuxiang nodded and looked at her again. Zhao Yu was a rare fool, the kind that made people laugh and cry, and sulk. But Li Wuxiang knew that she was actually a victim like Zhao Qi - compared to Zhao Qi, she was even a perfect victim, never harming others, but always being harmed by others.

He sighed and said, "You haven't eaten much these days?"

Zhao Yu blushed and nodded: "Yeah."

"Tang!" Li Wuxiang waved to Tang Qilang who was not far away, "Pass some food over here - what do you like to eat?"

Zhao Yu quickly said, "Anything is fine."

"Sweet or salty?"

"...Sweet? Brother, I heard that the snacks here are not cheap at all, otherwise..."

Li Wuxiang waved his hand at her, then turned to Tang Qilang and said loudly, "I want sweet, expensive, and lots of it, quickly!"

Tang Qilang was slightly startled by his shouting, and then he turned to look for the man from the Agarwood Shop. Watching him walk over and talk, Zhao Yu asked cautiously, "Brother, then...our golden tangle..."

"Here I am."

"Then you..." Zhao Yu looked at him and hesitated for a long time before saying, "So are you the leader of our Ranshan now?"

"Yes."

"Then can I still come back to Ranshan?"

"Come back if you want. Are you familiar with Ranshan? Not anything else, I mean the buildings on the mountain. For example, if I want to rebuild a Ranshan sect somewhere else in the future, do you remember all the details?"

Zhao Yu nodded immediately: "Brother who remembers...ah, Sect Master, I remember it clearly. When I was in the mountains, I often took my fellow disciples to clean up. When they were young and naughty, they ran around everywhere, and I was the one who found them - I remember every hole in the ground and every wall clearly."

"Okay, then you are now Senior Sister Ranshan." At this time, the waiter of Chenxiang Pavilion came over with a wooden tray and placed the food on the table. Li Wuxiang pointed at the plate on the table and said, "Eat. It will be easier to work after you are full. I guess Zhou Qinghu will come to find you soon."

On the plate on the table were sweet-scented osmanthus honey-brewed thousand-layer pastry, jujube paste swirl pastry, eight-petal lotus pastry, iced almond tofu, and amber walnut candy. Zhao Yu took a glance and couldn't move away, but still said: "Master, Zhou Qinghu's woman's family is-"

"Does that woman have a Yang God at home?" "Ah?" Zhao Yu was stunned, looking a little confused, "Yang God? No?"

"That doesn't matter, just enjoy your food." Li Wuxiang walked out of the pavilion and approached the group of people.

Kong Jingci looked calm, while the other three seemed a little flustered - especially Tang Qilang.

He thought over and over again about the tone and expression of Li Wuxiang when he spoke to him just now, and he felt even more panicked. Seeing Li Wuxiang standing beside him, he immediately sighed: "Senior, it can't be someone from our Tiangong Sect..."

Li Wuxiang glanced at him and said, "Zhao Yu said that Zhou Qinghu has a way to turn a genuine weapon from Ranshan into a sect treasure. I don't know much about the Thirty-Six Sects, but I know that your Tiangong Sect is the only one that is good at this. And after you get close to him, you can ignore the disciples of other sects. That should be enough, right?"

Tang Qilang smiled bitterly: "If it is true, please don't get angry first. To be honest, if I hadn't met you, I might also want to find a sect like Ranshan Sect and let it be controlled by me. Everyone is doing this kind of thing... but it's not done very well this time. If someone comes later and it is really from our Tiangong Sect, please hold back first... Let me come forward - what do you want to do, senior?"

"I don't care about anything else. I just want to see Zhou Qinghu's character."

Tang Qilang was stunned: "To see his character?"

He was about to ask again "What does this mean" when he saw someone entering through the front door of the Chenxiang Pavilion.

Some of them were the people who had been guarding across the street led by Zhou Fang, and the other two were new faces.

A man wearing a light green satin shirt, not tall, thin, with a long face and a few sparse beards on his chin. He looked to be in his forties, very much like the black-hearted advisers that Li Wuxiang had seen in movies and TV dramas in his previous life, who stood behind the seventh-rank county magistrate and whispered evil ideas in his ear.

The other one was much more respectable, wearing a thick brocade outer garment, looser than a suit and more capable than a Taoist robe, which made his slightly taller body look very upright. It was hard to tell whether he was in his early twenties or around thirties, but after entering the room, he looked around with a bright look in his eyes.

The pavilion where Zhao Yu was located was on a small rockery with three steps high. When Li Wuxiang had sent a few people away before, they had stood five or six steps to the west of the rockery. Now that he had come over, they were slightly blocked by a thin rock.

Therefore, these people entered the door and crossed the screen wall, and they were not seen for a while.

The young man in brocade clothes looked around, saw Zhao Yu in the pavilion, and immediately led his men over.

Zhao Yu also saw them, swallowed what was in his mouth, shrank back slightly, and pursed his lips.

Li Wuxiang guessed that the man in the brocade robe must be Qinghu of the middle Zhou Dynasty. But he stopped at the edge of the pavilion, only glanced at Zhao Yu, and then looked elsewhere. But the skinny man in his forties behind him took another step forward, looked at the woman in the pavilion, and sighed softly -

"Yu Niang, why are you doing this?"

Li Wuxiang couldn't help but frown. What's wrong with Zhao Yu's brain? Is this Zhou Qinghu?
"I asked Zhou Fang and the others to come out to look for you because my old illness relapsed, but you refused to come back out of spite. Why do I have to come to see you in person?" Zhou Qinghu frowned and shook his head, then sighed, "You are in this state now, and you have no cultivation to rely on. Is there any better place to go than my place? Even if you don't want to think about yourself, think about me - I have met a noble person, and I want to achieve a career like Ranshan. Isn't that what you wanted in the first place? Why do you have to bet with me and make it embarrassing for each other?"

He took a step forward and held out his hand: "Come on, let's go. Let's go home and talk about our affairs behind closed doors. There's no need to make a fool of ourselves here."

Zhao Yu glanced at his hand and moved his lips: "That's your home, not mine."

Zhou Qinghu closed his eyes, let out a long breath, and then opened them again, saying helplessly: "You must care about this? Well, I discussed it with Hui Niang when I came here, and she agreed to let me take you in. Are you satisfied with this?"

Li Wuxiang originally wanted to see how this scumbag in the world would excuse himself, but now that he actually saw Zhou Qinghu and heard him speak, he just felt annoyed and stuffy in his chest, and felt very uncomfortable. So he raised his voice and said, "Hey."

The young man standing outside the pavilion immediately cast his eyes over. He paused on Li Wuxiang for a moment, then slid past him, looked at the people around him, smiled slightly, and strode to the steps: "I was resting in the house when I heard someone report that there were a few people who looked like disciples of the Thirty-Six Sects on the street, one of whom was carrying a big sword and an iron pole. I thought, could it be that the brothers and sisters came back from there? It turned out to be true. Brother Tang, how are things going over there?"

Tang Qilang sighed: "Third Junior Brother, let's talk about what happened over there later. What's going on over here? Why do these people claim to be from Ranshan?"

The Third Junior Brother was stunned for a moment, then smiled faintly: "I was thinking that you, Senior Brother, would go to You Jiuyuan to work for the Alliance. I am not talented enough to do anything for the Alliance, but I can do something for the Sect. How -"

His eyes slid over the other people, and he raised his hand slightly while speaking: "Senior Sister Kong, Senior Brother Lu, Senior Brother Liu, you are not going to compete with us Tiangong for the succession of the Ranshan Sect, are you? This kind of thing is first come first served. If you really want to, you might as well go to the Chilian Sect and think of a solution - they came two groups a few days ago, both claiming to be the orthodox Chilian Sect, and it hasn't been decided yet."

"Third Junior Brother!" Tang Qilang frowned and turned to Li Wuxiang, "The one next to me——"

"Oh, I heard them say that, too." The Third Junior Brother turned to look at Li Wuxiang and nodded at him. "Zhou Fang came back and said that you were with them when Ranshan Sect Master Zhao Kui died? I heard him say that after you helped him collect the body, you also took some important things with you. Does that mean the Golden Chanel is also with you?"

After he said this, he slightly turned his face, frowned slightly, and stared at Li Wuxiang: "To be honest, your appearance is much better than Zhou Qinghu's, and you are more suitable to be the leader of Ranshan than him. But since you came here to see me, it is considered that you have a predestined relationship with me. Although you can't be the leader of Ranshan, no matter which sect you were from before, now take out the things left by Zhao Kui, and you can choose between Ranshan and Tiangong. It depends on whether you want to be the head of the chicken or the tail of the phoenix."

Tang Qilang spoke at this time, and said in a deep voice: "Third Junior Brother, he is the current leader of Ranshan Sect - Li Wuxiang."

The third apprentice brother looked at Tang Qilang, was stunned for a moment, and suddenly frowned: "Brother, you want to snatch this credit from me in front of outsiders?"

He sneered again: "Okay, I don't care if he is Li Wuxiang or Zhao Wuxiang. If I say he is not, then he is not - if you are unhappy, go and tell the Sect Master!"
