Chapter 48 Recruitment
At this time, Cheng Rong was explaining the reason for coming here: "Earlier, Shi Yatou occasionally found this 'hidden skin' and said that he wanted to use its snake shed to celebrate the birthday of the sect leader. So I guided him and temporarily learned the soul-losing curse to use it on this snake. Today, she felt the snake climbing up the valley, so she pulled me to see it, not wanting to meet fellow Taoists."
After a moment of pause, he gently stroked the girl's head, and a wry smile on his face that was inconsistent with his temperament: "Actually, the snake itself is nothing. She still understands the reason for coming first and then coming. But she is young and has suffered a lot in order to learn the soul-losing curse, so she is even more concerned. Fellow Daoist Yu, please take it more."
Yu Ci naturally would not care about the children. Since this meeting was just a coincidence, she was unwilling to stay any longer. After all, Xu Lao Er was so stubborn that he could not have any close relationship with Wanling Sect. Just as he was about to bow his hands, he saw that although the little girl did not speak, she glared at him behind Cheng Rong, and seemed to be unconvinced.
The expression made Yu Ci smile again, and his eyes glanced at Cheng Rong's face and suddenly moved.
There are some things that he doesn't blame him for thinking too much. These days, Wanling Sect has clearly been interested in him. Even if Cheng Rong came here by chance, a kind and kind attitude may not be very simple.
After a round of thoughts, he suddenly smiled at the little girl and said, "Is that soul-losing curse difficult to practice? How is it used?"
The little girl rolled her eyes and ignored him.
Yu Ci turned to look at the adult next to him. Cheng Rong was slightly stunned, and then grinned and responded: "It's really not easy. This spell can let the caster know the general activity status of the casting target. Although it is hundreds of miles apart, it also has a slight sensing... Of course, the use of the next one is gone."
“That’s it.”
Yu Ci smiled on her face and said to Shi Xin: "You are just using magic spells to monitor it, and you didn't catch it and put a rope on it. If you just know the location, you will say that this snake belongs to you, which is ridiculous... Why don't you ask the elder next to you, and you have been playing the eagle flying eagle in the past few days, and you must be very clear about where I am. Could it be that I am from your Wanling Sect?"
The sharp edge of the words, let alone Cheng Rong, even the little girl felt it. She turned around in shock, but Cheng Rong didn't care about her for the time being, and hurriedly shook her head and said:
"Fellow Taoist is joking. The situation here has been tense recently. Releasing the eagle flying eagle and reconnaissance intelligence is also a routine matter. There is no intention of being unfavorable to fellow Taoist. And since fellow Taoist asked in person, our sect will definitely restrain our subordinates and not let them disturb the fellow Taoist purity! Then again, if fellow Taoist is as talented as a fellow Taoist and willing to join my Wanling Sect, our sect will be welcomed, and even the leader of the Shi Sect will also welcome him."
This sounds pleasant, but it is a bit too far. Especially, do you know what kind of talent I am?
Yu Ci felt something was wrong and responded lightly: "The idle clouds and wild cranes can only do some things to dig stones and collect herbs..."
At this point, his mind flashed and he suddenly said, "Is Bai Ri Mansion already released the results to get people?"
This time the thought jumped too much, but the strange weapon was prominent, and suddenly hit the most critical point. Cheng Rong was so bored that he was stunned for a while before grinning bitterly: "I just wanted to say it, but I didn't expect that fellow Taoists had guessed it. Five days ago, the news came out of Bai Ri Mansion that he wanted to see people and corpses. His reputation spread throughout the ground of the Cliff City thousands of miles away. Be careful."
Sure enough, the tracking of Wanling Sect for several days was still effective, and his identity might have been turned down. Of course, what is even more hateful is Bai Rifu's actions. What is the fugitive if he is?
Yu Ci was unhappy and said thank you lightly.
Cheng Rong didn't dare to say anything: "Why do you have to thank me? This sect has many conflicts with the Bairi Mansion, and I am used to doing this kind of thing. However, my previous words were not polite to fellow Taoists. My fellow Taoists are of the best talent in the area of the Cliff City, and he has no eyes on the Bairi Mansion, but my Wanling Sect has always been eager to seek talents. Fellow Taoists might as well think carefully."
He was quite frank and sincere in his tone, but Yu Ci became more and more sure of his guess: Maybe meeting today was just an accident, but Wanling Sect probably had been waiting for such an accident to happen, so he was going to join him online, not to recruit him, but to really "connect"!
Yu Ci was sure that the things he was watching the mind had already spread.
He was quite high-profile in Zhixin View. The key point of Zhixin View is that there are dozens of Taoist priests who have been placing a single order, and there are mixed characteristics. How can there be no eyeliner in it? The rumors of the rumor will sooner or later flow into the ears of those who are interested. Whether the Wanling Sect knew about it or later, as a major force that has been suppressed by Baijiu for decades and is more ambitious, it would be really strange if he didn't want to do something about it.
Yu Ci was too lazy to deal with these things in the ghost realm of human hearts, but it does not mean that he did not understand.
Yu Ci thought he was not good at intrigue. If he was asked to set up ambush and lead people's nose step by step, he would not be able to do it, but he had two advantages: one was good at observing the face and guessing people's hearts; the other was good at creating illusions and asking you to get into the trap. Both were tempered during the Double Immortal Sect, and gradually matured in his twelve years of wandering life. These two advantages often allowed him to take the lead in confrontation with people, and this is the case now.
When he understood what Cheng Rong was thinking, he had the initiative firmly in his hands. What he had to do now was to pull the gambling table, put the chips on it, and then hold down his trump card, forcing his opponent to show it out first. Of course, before this, he had to make some illusions:
"I am afraid of the noble family. Unfortunately, I have settled a place to live a few days ago, and I am busy looking for things to collect herbs in the future, but I am very kind."
After saying that, he bowed his hand and showed his intention. Cheng Rong didn't know that he had seen through his mind. He hurriedly asked to stay and naturally followed the interface left in his words and asked with great concern:
"What do fellow Taoists need? Let me tell you if the two sides communicate with each other, maybe there is still some of this sect."
"Most of them are medicinal ores."
Yu Ci said it lightly, but then he smiled bitterly: "There are some of my own use in it, so it's good to find some, but there are a few medicinal herbs inside, which were arranged by an elder. It is said that it is rare and difficult to find. You have to find it in a remote place in the Tianli Valley, and there is no such thing as Cliff City."
The tone was certain, and the tone was very strong, but Cheng Rongxin had a conclusion, and was not surprised, as long as Yu Ci said it.
Yu Ci followed the boat and said that Cheng Rong was a little embarrassed because the boat gave him a medicine name on the jade slip. He definitely couldn't get it out. But he was unable to ride a tiger at this time, so he had to let Yu Ci continue to say it. Yu Ci was so happy to see him laughing, so he listed the medicine names one by one. The previous one was just the same. When he talked about the last "Ghost Flower", Cheng Rong was suddenly overjoyed and slapped his high fives:
"Have it!"
"oh?"
Yu Ci was an accident, but Cheng Rong felt relieved. It doesn’t matter if he was embarrassed, but if he let Wanling Sect be looked down upon, it would be his sin.
Hearing these rare and strange medicine names, Cheng Rong was even more sure of the correctness of the source of the news there. He knew that he could not miss this opportunity no matter what, and his face was like a spring breeze:
"What a coincidence. Some time ago, our sect got a prescription, which contained the main medicine of Guixianghua. Therefore, we spent a lot of effort to collect it. As far as I know, we have stored at least three plants in this sect. I think one of them will be happy to take out one to give to fellow Taoists."
This was a situation that Yu Ci didn't expect, but it was also a surprise to get news about Gui Xianghua here. But he still kept a little reserved and shook his head and said, "That is the use of medicine for the noble family, and it should not be moved lightly. Moreover, although Yu is not a perfect person, he still has some face and knows the principle of "no reward without merit."
Cheng Rong repeatedly persuaded him, but Yu Ci refused to agree no matter what. He pushed him a lot, just watching the little head of the Shi family girl swung back and forth, and was extremely confused.
In the end, Cheng Rong was forced to have no choice but to shout, "Fellow Taoist said he had no achievements, but for Wanling Sect, being able to force Bai Ri Mansion to be as embarrassed as the Bai Ri Mansion is the greatest achievement! The various sects of the Cliff City have been suffering from Bai Ri Mansion for a long time, but they are controlled by it as the "specialized office" of Li Chen Sect, and they have no choice but to give up the snake. Now, the fellow Taoist is so embarrassed that Jin Huan is so embarrassed that he leaves. Such a feat is not a merit, so what is it?"
Oh, say it!
Yu Ci was waiting for this sentence, and he showed a strange look on his face: "Do you know about this?"
Cheng Rong's expression was very awkward, but from this moment on, the two of them had to speak much brighter.
Yu Ci once thought seriously why his deal with Yu Zhou would cause Jin Huan to react so much. Later he figured it out:
It is because of the "right to be the specialized office".
"The power of the special office" is of course profitable, but the direct benefit is only the most insignificant aspect. Its real value is to establish a bond between Bairifu and Lichen Sect, including later promoting Jinchuan and Kuang Yanqi to enter the short-term practice of Lichen Sect. This is also the idea. When the bond is firm, everyone will see it. It is best to think that Bairifu and Lichen Sect have been connected into a whole.
Then, Bai Rifu's status was unshakable.
If Cliff City is a treasure, Bai Ri Mansion is the heavy gate that seals the treasure, and the "power of special operations" that operates on Li Chen Sect is the big lock on the door. With this link, even the Wan Ling Gate, the forces that can pose a threat to Bai Ri Mansion, no matter how strong their ambitions for the treasure are, must walk in a regular manner, so as not to annoy the giant Li Chen Sect, which is a giant.
Originally, this "lock" was extremely difficult to break, but Yu Ci jumped out of the stone, and directly tied the line with Lichen Sect with a fish and dragon, and even wanted to reach the sky in one step. In front of such a fish and dragon, the so-called "right to be exclusively handled" is more like a joke.
Breaking the big lock of "the power of the special office" for Yu Ci personally has no other benefits than forming an enemy of the Bai Ri Mansion. But for an ambitious sect like Wanling Sect, as long as he climbs up with Yu Ci and becomes a disciple of Lichen Sect, wouldn't Wanling Sect capture a relationship that directly connects with Lichen Sect?
This is equivalent to not going through the main entrance and directly opening a hole in the wall. If it develops to the extreme, it can even replace the original main entrance and monopolize the huge treasure of the Juebi City!
To do all this, first of all, Yu Ci was able to enter the Lichen Sect, and secondly, Yu Ci was willing to stand up for the Wanling Sect. The former was uncontrollable, while the latter was not impossible through hard work. At least, the senior management of Wanling Sect thought so.
To put it bluntly, all solicitation and gratitude are illusions. Only by striving for relationships and making friendships are real. Wanlingmen just wants to make a "friend" with Yu Ci. They don't need to be heart-to-heart, but they have to have profit-making contacts. The only source is the ambition for the great treasure of Cliff City.
Yu Ci believed that even if he said that Xu Laoer died at his hands, Wanling Sect would pretend that he had not heard of it. As long as there was enough benefits in front of him.
