Chapter 290: Just a mediocre person

Hall of merit.

People come and go, and queues form in front of the various counters.

The disciples in the sect were all talking about the latest price of the elixir, venting their dissatisfaction.

"Why has the price of Tian Guizhi increased so much now? The merit value of one plant has tripled, which has doubled, and the purchase is limited to ten plants."

"Another one."

The middle-aged man sitting in front of Chen Yun seemed to be very tired of this question.

"If the price goes up, the price will go up, whether you like it or not."

"You..." Chen Yunqiang swallowed his breath, slapped the table and said angrily: "Ten plants!"

The middle-aged man in front of him was also stunned.

Immediately, he snorted coldly and stood up to find ten Tiangui branches for Chen Yun.

Just when Chen Yun was hesitating to ask if there were any ancient books on Taiyi spiritual texts that could be redeemed, he became angry when he saw this person.

While he was hesitating, a man wearing a jade crown came up from behind the counter, with a somewhat unapproachable arrogance and domineering expression on his face.

Seeing him, Chen Yun's heart suddenly skipped a beat.

"It's actually Fellow Daoist Chen, long time no see. Long time no see."

"It's Senior Wu. It's a pleasure to meet you. Why is it such a coincidence? No, you are..."

Chen Yun saw several people from the Gongde Hall following him, and guessed that this person's identity might be unusual.

"Don't you know, Fellow Daoist Chen? Wu has always been the manager of the Merit Hall."

"I see......"

Chen Yun's eyes twitched and he took a breath of cold air. Unexpectedly, he was the person in charge of the Gongde Hall. In this way, this person could read anyone's transaction information at will.

Then Chen Yun's careful name change seemed unnecessary.

After all, it couldn't be easier for people to check his identity.

I saw that Chen Yun was familiar with the steward of Gongde Hall.

The middle-aged man who had been impatient with Chen Yun just now had a visible bead of sweat on his forehead. He unconsciously looked at Chen Yun, his eyes became a little more humble, and his smile became a little more respectful.

"This Master Chen, these are your ten Tiangui Zhi plants. What else do you need from me?"

Chen Yun saw that his expression changed, but he was still angry in his heart, so he snorted in displeasure.

"Why go to all this trouble? Fellow Taoist Chen, why don't you come to the backyard and have some tea. I'll ask them to find you whatever you want. Please."

Wu Daoping made an invitation gesture.

The backyard of Gongde Palace.

The dragon tower and phoenix palace are filled with mist.

From time to time, one or two Nascent Soul auras would fall, and even Wu Daoping would have to carefully bow his hands. Even he walked carefully, walking on thin ice, and Chen Yun was even more so.

On the way, I met one or two elders of the Wu family who were at the peak of the late Nascent Soul stage, chatting with Wu Daoping. It was clear at a glance that the Wu family's ten thousand-year-old foundation was indeed unfathomable.

My Chen family still has a long way to go.

After a long time, I finally came to a quiet elegant room.

The aroma of spiritual tea is compelling.

One drink boosted your cultivation level for a year.

However, Wu Daoping just took a sip and refused to drink more.

"Don't borrow too much of this kind of external force, otherwise it will only become an obstacle to future practice."

"Many people are greedy for rash progress and pursue ways to quickly improve their cultivation. They have gone astray."

"Fellow Daoist Chen, this is Mr. Wu's kind words to persuade you. On this road of cultivating immortality, it is best to take it one step at a time."

Wu Daoping glanced at Chen Yun lightly, as if to wake him up.

Chen Yun was suddenly shocked.

He lowered his head and thought for a moment, with a bitter curve at the corner of his mouth.

It seems that everyone knows exactly what I redeemed in the Hall of Merit.

So Wu Daoping knew about his refining of Dao Pill.

In this case, it is definitely not a manly thing to continue to hide one's head and show one's tail, so Chen Yun simply admitted it.

"I am indeed refining the Taoist Pill. I have to say that one pill can shorten twenty years of sitting and practicing. Who can refuse such a temptation?"

Wu Daoping was slightly surprised by his magnanimity, and there was a hint of disappointment in his eyes that showed no emotion or anger.

"Fellow Taoist, you are honest with me. Wu, let's not beat around the bush. I have indeed been investigating you, but you don't seem to have anything special except that you like alchemy."

"I advise you, don't waste your energy on elixir refining. Refining elixirs is not something that can be done in a day. It's of little use if you sharpen your weapon in battle. I don't think Daoyou Chen has refined a few enlightenment elixirs."

Wu Daoping said lightly, as if everything was under control.

Chen Yun was relieved when he heard this.

It seems that this person only knows one but not the other.

From Wu Daoping's perspective, Chen Yun purchased a lot of materials for the Enlightenment Pill and the Advancement Pill just to refine these two pills.

But after the refining was completed, there was no news at all, so there was only one possibility: the refining failed and the success rate was too low.

Otherwise, under normal circumstances, part of it would be sold anyway.

After all, who can make a living out of the Enlightenment Pill?

The use of the Enlightenment Pill is well known to all monks. As long as you take one pill when you are meditating on important exercises, it can activate the enlightenment and wisdom effect of counting breaths.

Normal people shouldn't do this stuff every day.

The Wu family's ten thousand years of foundation does not support taking the Enlightenment Pill as a meal.

Chen Yun patted his knees heavily and lowered his head, looking as if he was speechless.

"Brother Chen, there is no need to be ashamed. Sixth-level elixirs cannot be refined by ordinary people."

"Although you are also a fifth-level alchemy master, in terms of alchemy, you are just a beginner. There is still a long way to go before you can refine sixth-level elixirs."

"Speaking of which, people like Brother Chen abound. Why have Tian Guizhi been restricted in purchasing recently, and why has the price of the Enlightenment Pill soared threefold? You should be aware of this."

Wu Daoping played with the cup in his palm and cast a half-smiling look.

Chen Yun suddenly understood that it was because of this.

"So that's it. The True Lord is about to preach. There are too many people who hope to realize a glimmer of opportunity through the Enlightenment Pill to help them break through the realm of the Nascent Soul."

"Not only that, countless Qi refining disciples who want to enter the Holy Land also need this Enlightenment Pill."

"Holy Land..." Chen Yun suddenly remembered something.

No wonder Tian Guizhi has increased so much recently and so many people need the Enlightenment Pill.

"Brother Chen must also be here for the opportunity of the True Lord to preach."

"Yes, otherwise, which fifth-level alchemy master and ancestor of Jindan would stoop to the position of guarding a small elixir garden? If it weren't for the opportunity of Nascent Soul, I am also an ancestor of the family, how could it be like this?"

Chen Yun therefore looked depressed and depressed.

In fact, his coming here was secondary to the opportunity, and the most important thing was the event entry.

Chen Yun's expression and reaction seemed to be exactly what Wu Daoping expected.

"Brother Chen, I don't want to dampen your desire to seek truth. It's just the opportunity of this True Lord. This year is different from the past. I'm worried that your decades of planning will all come to nothing."

"Senior Wu, I think you and I have some friendship. Can you tell me something or help Chen?"

"No." Wu Daoping's face changed slightly, and he seemed a little disappointed. He stood up suddenly, turned his back to Chen Yun and said, "It's getting late. Your Excellency, come back early."

"You...Senior Wu seems to have forgotten that you still owe me a favor." Chen Yun seemed unwilling to accept it.

Wu Daoping looked at him slightly and said: "If I reveal your identity as a golden elixir cultivator, you can still stay in the elixir garden? This is already a return of favors from fellow Taoists. Don't say any more favors in the future. I won't Owe you."

Wu Daoping walked away with a look of disappointment in his eyes.

I thought that Chen Yun was a hidden powerful monk, different from other monks, but I didn't expect that it was no different. He only wanted to sneak into the sect for the slim chance of Nascent Soul.

For the sake of this opportunity, he would say anything about seeking favors and seeking relationships, which was really disappointing.

"In my opinion, this person is also a mediocre person, with no merits. It seems that I was probably wrong in the secret realm before. I thought this person could be a close friend, but now it seems, huh..."

Wu Daoping said coldly in his heart.

Seeing Wu Daoping's eyes change when he looked at him, Chen Yun breathed a sigh of relief.

"I hope he can think that I am just a vulgar monk, so that he will not stare at me in the future."

Chen Yun secretly said.
