Fairyland Sunshine

Chapter 35 Connections
The woman heard subtle differences in their words, but there was no change in her face. She just bowed gracefully, invited them to the store to wait for a while, and then went to the back hall.

After a moment, Taoist Changsun hurriedly appeared. As soon as he met Xu Heng, he said happily: "Junior Brother Xu, it is you who are here as expected."

"Junior brother?" Ji Tingsheng asked in surprise: "Brother Xu, are you and Master Changsun Alchemy brothers?"

Xu Heng said vaguely: "...it is the fate of being a fellow student."

Unexpectedly, Ji Tingsheng opened his eyes even more and said, "You also studied in the Xuanwei Sect..."

"Ahem, cough, cough." Old Taoist Changsun came forward, coughed suddenly, choked Ji Tingsheng's words, and said slowly: "Ji Xiaoyou, you are here too, please sit in the back hall for a while, and wait for me and Junior brother, please say a few words and then we will entertain you."

"That's fine." Ji Tingsheng raised his eyebrows, but he understood what he was interested in, so he agreed and went to the back hall.

Changsun Laodao then turned around and asked: "Junior brother, I heard that you lived in a small house by the lake and lived in seclusion. Why do you have time to come to see me today?"

Xu Heng said: "I have some important matters that I would like to discuss with my senior brother."

"Oh?" Changsun Laodao became solemn, thought for a while and said: "Junior brother, wait a moment, and I will change places with Lao Tao."

Xu Heng followed the good example, and the old Taoist took him to the back hall. Only then did Xu Heng realize that the back of the old Taoist shop was actually quite open, with a main hall, a side hall, a quiet room, etc. There was no one in the side hall, so he took him with him. Xu Heng went there, sat down, and then asked: "Junior brother, what is important? You can speak frankly now."

Xu Heng nodded, and as soon as he spoke, Changsun Laodao was surprised.

"My little brother is preparing to leave Yingzhou, so I want to prepare more elixirs. I know all kinds of elixirs, and my senior brother only makes one batch per month. But you are an alchemy master, maybe you can help me buy some reliable elixirs?"

"This is naturally not difficult, but..." The old Taoist hesitated for a moment, but still asked: "Junior brother, I have only been in Yingzhou for a few days? Why do you want to leave?"

Xu Heng said: "Yingzhou has become a place of right and wrong, and I don't want to be involved."

The old Taoist advised: "It is true that there has been some chaos in Yingzhou recently, but my junior disciple is dedicated to practicing purity. As long as he doesn't get involved, trouble will not arise for no reason."

Xu Heng was silent for a moment and said, "Senior brother, you should know the rumors about the so-called ancient Dao Zang, right? I wonder how much you know about this matter?"

The old Taoist frowned and said: "I've heard a lot about it, but no matter how I think about it, it seems ridiculous. Disciples of any evil sect don't know whether it's true or false, let alone the ancient Taoist treasures..."

"The ancient Taoist treasures may be just rumors, but those who follow the evil way cannot be false." Xu Heng did not hide anything, so he told what he saw last night. Unexpectedly, the old Taoist suddenly became serious and asked seriously: "Junior brother You mean, that person went to the lake? "

"Exactly." Xu Heng said unexpectedly: "Is there anything urgent in the lake?"

The old Taoist's expression changed several times, and he said: "There is a pavilion in the lake, which is a special place for the owner to entertain distinguished guests. If what you said is true, I'm afraid..."

Xu Heng's heart trembled slightly. Master Yinzi went to the lake for the sake of the Lord of Yehuifang City? Rumors are spreading all over Lenovo. It is impossible to say that there is no hidden secret in them.

But he thought to himself that Master Yin Zi's big show didn't seem like a secret meeting... Or maybe he had intentionally leaked the news of this "secret meeting". When Xu Heng thought about it this way, it seemed reasonable that he could escape unscathed after stumbling upon this incident.

Taoist Changsun didn't know what Xu Heng was thinking, and said solemnly: "Junior brother, this matter is of great importance, you must not tell anyone else about it."

"Senior brother, don't worry, I'll take care of myself." Xu Heng had no intention of speculating deeply about the plans of Yinzi Master or even the master of Fang City. Naturally, he didn't want to publicize it. He put away his distracting thoughts and continued: "In short, Yingzhou is no longer I don’t want to stay in the land of Qing Xiu for a long time.”

"Hey, that's fine." The old Taoist sighed and said, "Junior brother, if you need any pills, just tell me... By the way, where do you want to go to practice after leaving Yingzhou?"

Elder Changsun treated Xu Heng sincerely, and Xu Heng did not hide anything. He said, "I heard that the Pengxuan Sect in the East China Sea will hold a Dharma conference at the end of the year to recruit disciples. I am willing to go and try my luck."

"East China Sea Pengxuan Sect?" Old Taoist Changsun was a little surprised. People like them who learned magic in Qiming Academy but then went down the mountain are probably "unworthy of cultivation" and want to switch to an immortal sect like Pengxuan Sect. Big faction seems a bit unrealistic.

However, the thought only circulated in his mind, and the old Taoist didn't say anything more. He just muttered: "It's not easy to go to Pengxuan Sect."

Xu Heng nodded. He had also made some inquiries in the past few days. Although the Pengxuan Sect is in the East China Sea, it is not the same concept as the "East China Sea" of the Feng Dynasty. It is said that it is a prosperous sea area for cultivation. If you want to go there, There, let’s not talk about time, at least in the ordinary world, no ship can reach it.

However, since the information can be obtained, it means that the two parties are still in contact. Xu Heng has nearly a hundred magic coins on his body, and it will not be too late to find a way by then...

Thinking of this, Xu Heng suddenly felt something in his heart and asked: "Senior brother, I have accumulated good reputation for a long time and have a wide network of contacts. Do you have any connections to introduce me? The price is easy to negotiate."

"Hey, junior brother thinks highly of the old Taoist, how did I get such connections?" The old Taoist shook his head and smiled bitterly, but as he spoke, he stopped and looked thoughtful: "Hey, it's not impossible... …”

Xu Heng's eyes lit up and he asked: "What can I do? Please give me some advice, senior brother."

Changsun Laodao hesitated and said: "I know a friend who is the person in charge of purchasing elixirs for the Binhai He family..."

The Binhai He family is a family of cultivators in Fengchao. Their business is to trade and interact with the maritime cultivation community. Taoist Changsun said that he is familiar with this person and may be able to help Xu Heng.

"But recently, he and I also encountered a problem." The old Taoist sighed and said: "He ordered a lot of elixirs from me and gave me a deposit. Not to mention, the delivery date is approaching, but There was something wrong with the medicinal materials I needed to make the elixir..."

The old Taoist said that he purchased a batch of medicinal materials from a group of people in the north of Yingzhou who relied on collecting medicines in the mountains for spiritual practice, but they were not delivered for a long time. After asking someone to inquire, they found out that they had been robbed.

"That man actually said that he asked me to redeem the medicinal materials. It is totally unreasonable." Changsun Laodao said: "If you really follow his words, how can I still be famous in Yingzhou with my old face?"

"Fortunately, the veteran has been refining alchemy for almost decades, and has accumulated some contacts. He has already found a few helpers and is going to collect the medicinal materials."

"If this trip goes well, after I refine the elixir and deliver it, it will be natural for me to introduce friends to my junior brother."
