Chapter 177 Showing cleverness, Taixuan aura

In fact, most of the deacons of Gongdeyuan are not very high in cultivation.

Due to the need to deal with various exchange matters, entertain disciples, and numerous daily affairs, no monks with truly advanced cultivation are interested in this.

Those who can come here to take care of things are usually monks who no longer expect to make any progress in their spiritual journey.

This is the case for middle-aged Taoist priests.

Facing ordinary inner sect disciples, he is naturally superior and does not need to show off to any disciples.

But Xia Mengran himself is a monk who is far better than him in cultivation, and he also has a promising future. With the mountain of Master Yu at his back, it is far more than a mere deacon can afford to offend, so the middle-aged Taoist priest does not dare to neglect him at all.

, relaxed enough to keep a low profile.

Xia Mengran waved his hand impatiently and said: "Don't use polite words to bore people. This is my master's new junior brother. I will bring him here to select a training cave. Hurry up and take out the map!"

The middle-aged Taoist priest was obviously very familiar with Xia Mengran's character. He didn't care when he heard this and quickly called someone to bring the map.

Not long after, the Taoist boy on duty brought the map over.

Before the waiter handed over the map, Xia Mengran grabbed it with his hands and unfolded it to read.

After a moment, she frowned and said dissatisfied: "What's going on? Why are there only four Qifu level caves, and the ones with the worst geographical location?"

The middle-aged Taoist priest smiled bitterly and cupped his hands, and said: "Palace Master Xia, the supply of Qifu level caves has always exceeded demand. No matter how bad the geographical location is, there are still many people vying for them. It's good to have four left for you to choose from."

Xia Mengran didn't buy it at all and sneered.

"It's okay to use this kind of words to fool ordinary disciples, but it's far from enough to fool me!"

"Chu Jihe, I'll leave my words here. Don't play any tricks on me and quickly take out all the really good caves. Otherwise, don't blame me for demolishing your pavilion!"

The middle-aged Taoist priest Chu Jihe's face was almost wrinkled, and he looked to Lin Shen aside as if asking for help.

Lin Shen looked at his nose and heart, but Quan pretended he didn't see anything.

Seeing that he couldn't be fooled, Chu Jihe had no choice but to grit his teeth, take out a roll of parchment from his sleeve robe and hand it to Xia Mengran.

Xia Mengran took it and looked at it, her expression finally relaxed a bit, and handed the parchment to Lin Shen.

"Junior brother, take a look. Although this Jinchuan Island is located in a remote place, it is a wonderful place for cultivation where the essence of heaven and earth is abundant. The water on the island is rich in golden spiritual energy, which is suitable for practicing the two attributes of gold and water. Compared with the elders,

The Qianxiu cave is no less generous."

Speaking of this, Xia Mengran glanced sideways at Chu Jihe and snorted coldly.

"You're wise enough not to fool us with those rags!"

Chu Jihe had a wry smile on his face.

A majestic Qifu-level cave, even if its geographical location is a little different and its inspiration is lacking, it still wouldn't be called a shabby place.

For an ordinary monk, if he could get a cave like this, he would laugh out of his dreams.

Indeed, Jinchuan Island is certainly a good place for cultivation.

Of all the Qi-level caves, Jinchuan Island definitely ranks in the top ten for its rich spiritual energy, not to mention that the island is also covered with spiritual energy of both metal and water attributes. It can be said to be a blessed place for monks who practice the magic techniques of gold and water!

But it is precisely because of this that many people are thinking about Jinchuan Island.

This cave has actually been booked for a long time. If it weren't for the fact that Xia Mengran kept her word and was afraid that she would really demolish the pavilion, Chu Jihe would not have taken out Jinchuan Island.

After hesitating for a moment, Chu Jihe couldn't help but said:

"Panel Master Xia, as early as three days ago, Shan Wenqi from the Shan family had reserved Jinchuan Island. If you take Jinchuan Island away, I will not be able to deal with Fellow Daoist Shan!"

"Shan Wenqi?" Xia Mengran frowned slightly, and then thought about it quickly, "Didn't he get promoted to a monk two years ago? According to the time, he should have chosen a training cave long ago, so why did he come to Jinchuan Island?

"

"This" Chu Jihe's eyes suddenly flickered.

Xia Mengran had seen many similar things in the Zhiwu Hall. He didn't understand what was going on, and a sneer appeared on his lips.

"The sect stipulates that each true disciple can only have one training cave, and once selected, it is prohibited to change it again without the sect's permission. Chu Jihe, if you dare to join forces with Shan Wenqi to secretly use tricks, you might want to try it.

The power of the criminal justice court?"

Chu Jihe immediately broke into a cold sweat and said quickly: "Palace Master Xia, I can't help it. I can't afford to offend the Shan family!"

After the Yan family was cleared, the Shan family suddenly emerged and replaced the Yan family as one of the famous families. Now that it is in the limelight, how can a small butler like him dare to provoke him?

Xia Mengran actually knew this in her heart, but Chu Jihe didn't dare to provoke the Shan family, but she was not afraid.

"Anyway, Jinchuan Island will be given to my junior brother. If Shan Wenqi is dissatisfied, ask him to come to me and I will convince him personally!"

I'm afraid you won't be able to persuade with your fists, right?

Chu Jihe secretly cursed.

Who in the entire Jiuyang Sect doesn't know that you, Hall Master Xia, are not easy to mess with? Shan Wenqi ran to you when his head was caught in the door. I'm afraid that not only will he not return to Jinchuan Island, but he will also get a beating from you in vain!

As we all know, Xia Mengran is a swordsman, and has also practiced the Divine Seal Spirit Seal, one of the eight great magical powers of the Jiuyang Sect. He is extremely powerful in combat and is said to be invincible to those below the Xuanguang stage.

Shan Wenqi is indeed very powerful, but against a monk like Xia Mengran, there is no doubt that he will only get beaten unilaterally!

but

Chu Jihe glanced at Lin Shen.

Shan Wenqi doesn't dare to trouble you, Hall Master Xia, so he doesn't dare to trouble his junior brother, you?

When the juniors are fighting, it’s hard for you, Hall Master Xia, as a senior, to intervene, right?

Seeing Chu Jihe's little moves, Xia Mengran didn't know what Chu Jihe was thinking, but he didn't care and stretched out his hand.

"Take out the talisman!"

Chu Jihe put his hand into his sleeve with a grimace, took out a talisman that was neither gold nor wood, and handed it to her.

After taking the talisman, Xia Mengran took Lin Shen and left the pavilion without looking back.

After leaving the pavilion, Xia Mengran handed the talisman to Lin Shen and told the story of the Shan family's promotion to a famous family, and then said:

"The Shan family has been very popular recently, and even the members of the clan have acted in a lot of arrogant and domineering ways. You took Jinchuan Island from Shan Wenqi, and he will definitely not let it go. Junior brother, you won't blame senior sister for finding it for you.

Is it troublesome?"

Lin Shen smiled lightly and said: "Unless you are willing to be mediocre, as long as you want to practice Taoism, you will inevitably have to compete for resources, either with heaven, earth, or people. I have long been aware of this!"

"Okay, I saw you right!"

Xia Mengran's eyes looked at Lin Shen softer and softer.

"The only thing on the road is to forge ahead and overcome thorns. If you are timid about everything, then build the fucking road and go back as soon as possible and hug your mother-in-law to sleep!"

"." Lin Shen couldn't laugh or cry.

This senior sister's words are still so rough and white.

Suddenly, Lin Shen suddenly remembered something and asked curiously: "Senior sister, I heard that there is another senior sister under Master. I wonder where she is now?"

Xia Mengran's expression changed slightly, she was silent for a moment, and then said slowly: "Have you heard of the name Su Liuying?"

Of course I’ve heard of it!

Lin Shen reacted quickly, with a look of astonishment on his face.

Could it be that the traitor Su Liuying was his senior sister?

"Master, you and I are the only two disciples here now!"

Xia Mengran said vaguely, no more words, gathered his energy into a cloud, and flew towards Jinchuan Island with Lin Shen.

Su Liuying's rebellion has become a taboo in the sect.

Seeing that Xia Mengran didn't want to say more, Lin Shen also knew what was going on and didn't ask any more questions.

Not long after, the two came to an island.

"Junior brother, that's Jinchuan Island!" Xia Mengran pointed downwards and said.

Before Lin Shen had time to take a closer look, he felt a strong spiritual energy coming towards his face, mixed with the soft water of Geng Gold.

If you look closely, you will see that the ancient trees on the island are towering, and the spiritual birds and animals are chasing each other. It looks like it is full of vitality!

"When I was in the mountain gate, I mostly practiced cultivation in Luojian Peak. If you encounter anything difficult, you can come to Luojian Peak to find me!"

After exchanging a few words with Lin Shen, Xia Mengran left in a hurry.

Watching Xia Mengran leave, Lin Shen had a smile in his eyes.

Although this senior sister behaved a little rudely, she was very kind to his junior brother.

It seems that there are advantages to having few disciples, at least they have a harmonious relationship with each other.

After calming down, Lin Shen landed on the island.

Jinchuan Island has abundant water resources. Two rivers run through the entire island, and the water is diffused throughout the island. This is where the abundant water spiritual energy on the island comes from.

As for the metal aura, Lin Shen guessed that it came from the evil veins underground on the island.

The cave is built in the center of the island, with a vast interior. Although the decoration is simple, it still remains simple and elegant.
