Chapter 209: Making a living by your ability
Wei Wenxin was too embarrassed to say that his original plan was to take out 100 million spirit stones and directly shout at the gate of the mountain to make a big gamble.
After learning that he was called "Crazy Sword", he thought that would have a bad influence, so he changed his approach.
I didn't expect it to be so offensive.
Wei Wenxin quickly explained: "Senior, please calm down. I really didn't mean to provoke you. I just came here for your safety. Please help me."
And I don’t intend to make people work in vain.
After all, we didn't have much interaction in the past, so there is no such thing as favors.
Honestly speaking, I can only take the official road when I go out recently, and I can only go on the road when there are many people. It’s so frustrating.
She was not so cautious in the past.
She also knew that her past arrogance and pride were largely due to her master's extraordinary fighting power.
Now that the master has ascended to heaven, although the other elders are still there, they are not as convenient as before, so she has become more restrained.
Even though she had Bai Ze by her side, luck was such a fickle thing, and she didn't dare to rely on it for her safety.
Seeing that Xingyuan Daojun had a calm expression and didn't say anything, Wei Wenxin didn't feel embarrassed and continued to promote herself leisurely:
“Master, think about it, what I ask for is not excessive.
“To be honest, my method of concealing the secrets of heaven was taught to me personally by the founder of my sect. I think it is difficult for the cultivators of your sect to meet someone as difficult to predict as me. I am sure they would like to challenge me. I think it will be helpful for their cultivation.
“Moreover, your clan is located in a remote area, and the weather is freezing cold. It’s hard to find a high-level weapon refiner who comes to your doorstep and provides free services. I’m not exaggerating, but I’m afraid it’s hard to find one in a million years.
"Another thing, even if you ask your fellow disciples to customize it, you still have to prepare three sets of materials, right? Regardless of success or failure, the remaining materials will not be returned, right? And I don't charge a penny, you only need as much as you use, and I will return all the remaining materials to you."
The Tianji Sect is a group of charlatans, and the territory it controls is barren, so it is not easy to earn spirit stones.
If the inheritance wasn't special enough, it would have disappeared in the long river of history long ago.
Although it is a large sect and has no shortage of weapon refiners, the Tianji Sect is really not good at this.
Besides, which force doesn't need a weapon refiner like her?
Even the Lihuo Sect is short of it!
Wei Wenxin proposed this because he has confidence in himself.
She might not be able to get the magic tools used by Mahayana monks now, but with the help of Heavenly Fire and her powerful spiritual awareness, she could get top-level magic tools and things of lower grades.
Taoist Xingyuan was really moved.
What she was originally worried about was that if Wei Wenxin went to Tianji Sect, no one would be able to calculate her whereabouts. As a result, when she went out, someone calculated her whereabouts. At that time, the outside world would surely question the ability of Tianji Sect.
In order to avoid such a situation, the ancestor had to take action personally.
The ancestor has been in meditation for many years, preparing for his ascension with all his heart, so it is really hard to disturb him...
But the exchange conditions proposed by Wei Wenxin were too tempting!
Just as she said, it is not easy to find a high-level weapon refiner who would come to your doorstep without asking for any money.
To put it bluntly, she has lived for thousands of years and has never encountered or even heard of such a top-notch sucker.
There are weapon refiners who go to the Danxin Sect to seek medical treatment for their loved ones, but in their Tianji Sect, such a good thing is not theirs.
"What can you refine?"
"Not for now. There is a 50% chance of making a top-level magic weapon. As for what to refine, personal customization, whatever you want, you can tell me, and you can stay in the refining room and watch me refine."
Most of the Jindan cultivators were using magic weapons, and her conditions were enough to attract the supreme elders to help her.
After all, who doesn’t have a few apprentices?
Even if you can't use it yourself, there are people close to you who need it!
Even if you don't have any disciples, you have to stand up for the benefit of the sect, otherwise you will inevitably be criticized for having no sense of collective honor.
Xingyuan Daojun was deeply moved, but he also had his own concerns:
“Although the number of cultivators in my Tianji Sect is not as many as your Wanjian Sect, there are still more than 20,000. You don’t need to worry about those low-level disciples. There are at least several hundred cultivators who need to refine magic weapons, if not three or five thousand…”
"That's fine. Arrange a place with outstanding spiritual veins for me to settle down. I can stay in your clan for a long time until this transaction is completed."
What else is there to say?
In front of Wei Wenxin, Taoist Xingyuan sent a sound transmission note to all the supreme elders. After getting their approval, he called the elder of the Deacon Hall and asked him to notify everyone as soon as possible.
Then he personally took Wei Wenxin around the sect to choose a place to live.
The Tianji Sect's mountain gate is located on the edge of a plateau, with a large snow-capped mountain behind it. Right outside the mountain gate is a big city called Xinghe.
The daily affairs of the sect are handled at the foot of the mountain, including the sect master, who also works at the foot of the mountain, but all cultivators above the Jindan level live on the mountain.
Wei Wenxin followed Taoist Xingyuan all the way up the mountain. He saw all kinds of iron chains in the mountains, with icicles frozen on them. The howling wind made people feel cold to the bone.
Knowing that this was the famous place for body training in Tianji Sect, she was quite tempted and planned to go there to practice when she had time. However, Ling Cang, who was useless, got his nose bleeding when he first came there due to the dry cold wind.
For a moment, Wei Wenxin felt a bit like "the father is a hero, but the son is a coward".
Wei Wenxin quietly put it into the spirit beast bag, relaxed and at ease, with a calm face.
Taoist Xingyuan covered his mouth and chuckled, then continued to fly forward with her.
Wei Wenxin felt pretty good about his first time dealing with the Tianji Sect.
Although he is not very warm in speaking and does not care much about etiquette, he is honest and consistent in his actions and does what he is told, which is very much to her liking.
After flying over several mountains in a row, we finally arrived at a mountain with a concave top and covered with forests.
"This is a dead volcano. It used to be the dojo of a great elder of our sect. After he ascended to heaven, the formation has been sealed and has not been allocated to anyone else. The spiritual vein is top-level, and the fire spiritual power is abundant."
Wei Wenxin had no objection to this and followed her down.
The two came to the mountain. The wind was still very strong, but when they entered the house, they felt very warm.
Wei Wenxin thanked him and decided to settle down here.
"Please take the trouble to sort out the Taoist friends who need help, and let them come one by one."
Otherwise, if too many people come, it will be awkward if a fight breaks out.
Seeing her so confident, Xing Yuan's mouth twitched slightly, but she still nodded politely:
"It's natural."
Wei Wenxin was behind her and did not notice her expression. After she left, she immediately released Ling Cang.
Then I started cleaning the house, taking out commonly used items and setting it up.
This place used to be a place for Mahayana monks to practice Buddhism, so the hardware facilities are naturally not bad. There are more than a hundred rooms inside and outside the house.
She was not greedy and only chose a small courtyard to settle down.
As you enter the yard, there is a big tree. In the cold winter, it is blooming with palm-sized white flowers. From a distance, it looks like little birds perching on the tree.
I think it’s because of the strong fire spirit that it remains lush and green even in winter.
The courtyard is not big and has only the most basic furniture. It was probably the residence of the venerable master’s disciple in the past.
There are three rooms in the upper house, the main hall in the middle, the bedroom on the left, the study on the right, and the east wing is a weapon refining room judging from the layout, while the west wing is a place to store sundries.
Wei Wenxin tidied up briefly, arranged Ling Cang's nest in the west wing, went to the bedroom to make the bed, and then came to the east wing.
I used a dust-cleansing spell and just finished cleaning the house inside and out. When I was about to take out the commonly used tools, I saw a strong man with a long beard running in anxiously.
As soon as he saw her, he bowed and looked at her with sparkling eyes: "Daoyou Wei, I want to practice a set of needles that specialize in the spirit and soul. I wonder if you can do it?"
She had long thought that the people from the Tianji Sect would want to see her abilities, but she did not expect that the first order would present her with a difficult problem.
Only a refiner with sufficiently advanced skills can refine a complete set of needle-type magic weapons that specialize in the soul.
But Wei Wenxin makes a living by his own ability, so he won't be boastful when he says he can do it.
What's more, I had just taught Yue Jinxiu a set of this stuff a few years ago, so I had experience with it!
"Come on, fellow Taoist, tell me in detail what kind of needles you want?"
After saying that, Wei Wenxin directly placed a long table in the yard, stretched out his hand and shook it, and saw a piece of white paper spread on the long table.
Although she never accepts private orders, she still knows what to do.
Seeing that he was still standing there in a daze, Wei Wenxin exclaimed "Ouch", lifted the long table, spread two bamboo mats on the bottom, and placed two meditation cushions before asking him to sit down.
"I just got here and haven't packed up yet. I'm sorry for being so slow."
The monk looked at the light golden cushion and the shiny purple-black bamboo mat, and felt an air of wealth and luxury coming towards him. His face turned red and white.
Logically speaking, since they are guests coming from afar, arranging their residence should be the responsibility of the Tianji Sect.
This would make it seem like they were not hospitable enough.
However, this time it was Wei Wenxin who wanted to ask for a favor. According to the sect leader, she was quite arrogant and her abilities were unknown, so there was no need to be overly polite to her.
So the man lifted his clothes and sat down confidently.
It has been a long time since we went out for a walk as a family. We walked slowly holding hands, and the two children played around us. Suddenly I felt that this was good. There are many fruit trees in our community, apricots, loquats, longans, bayberries, pomegranates, oranges, grapefruits... Last night I made a special trip to visit the only longan tree. It was a big tree with bunches of fruits, and I felt particularly peaceful. I no longer hold my mobile phone in my hands when I am free. I put my mobile phone aside when I work and when I sleep. Then I found that mobile phones are the biggest enemy. Sisters who have trouble sleeping, I suggest you put your mobile phone in another room when you sleep.
