#268 - Am I returning the spirit stones to people?
#268 - Am I returning the spirit stones to people?
Both of them had their own thoughts.
Gu An didn't want to set a high price, after all, he wanted to send the person away smoothly.
But a price that was too low wouldn't do.
It seemed he couldn't offer a price first, and should ask the other party's price range.
Appropriately add to the price, and then let the other party haggle it down.
Everyone would feel they hadn't lost out, and then the transaction would be completed smoothly, and he could send the other party away.
In that way, he could begin laying down the Eight-Sound Seal.
"Fairy, please come inside."
Gu An led the way.
Dongfang Changli said with considerable emotion, "I didn't expect the Cangmu Sect to have such a mechanism, imprisoning some people separately, and for a fellow Daoist to be in charge of a courtyard, it shows the sect values you."
Gu An just smiled and shook his head, "It's all just luck, the sect just gave me an opportunity."
He naturally wouldn't say that he was just a member of the great whirlpool.
Soon, the two arrived at the courtyard.
Feeling the barrier here, Dongfang Changli was shocked, a Black Night Barrier?
Such a high-level thing, it made her heart beat like a drum.
Using such a barrier to imprison people, it seemed the people here had a certain value.
Somewhat tricky.
"Please come inside."
Gu An didn't know what the other party was thinking.
Only after going inside, Dongfang Changli looked around, and found that the outer barrier was powerful, but the inside was a bit ordinary.
Although the formations and such were good, they were just good.
Compared to the Black Night Barrier, it was quite a bit lacking.
Thinking of this, Dongfang Changli said with a smile, "Fellow Daoist, it seems something is missing here."
Hearing this, Gu An asked with slight curiosity, "Missing what?"
"A seal."
Dongfang Changli said seriously:
"The courtyard's barrier is powerful, but the formations inside are barely satisfactory, only the defense is passable.
How can this be?
You must know that the place for imprisoning people must be safe enough.
Especially for an important disciple like you, the people assigned to you for imprisonment must be extraordinary.
You need a complete set of formations, which can seal others when advancing, and confuse people's minds when retreating.
Not afraid of invaders, not afraid of internal people with ulterior motives."
Hearing this, Gu An was somewhat taken aback, not knowing why the other party suddenly said this.
It felt like...
Selling something.
Out of curiosity, he asked, "But where can such a thing be found?"
"As it happens."
Dongfang Changli smiled and said, "I have it here."
Gu An didn't understand what the other party wanted to do, but still humbly asked, "Fairy has it?"
"It's not anything valuable, just something passed down from my family, considered rare, I suppose."
Saying that, she took out a tattered book, and said with slight nostalgia.
Gu An then saw three large characters written on it, "Eight-Sound Formation".
Then she handed the book to Gu An.
"Can I look?"
Gu An asked.
After the other party gave a definite nod, Gu An opened it and took a look.
He saw that it recorded the Eight-Sound Seal, the Eight-Sound Mind-Disruptor, and the Eight-Sound Illusion Formation.
Using sound to seal, using sound to disrupt the mind, using sound to form a formation.
It was even more complete than his Eight-Sound Seal.
If he didn't know that this person was Dongfang Lingyun, he wouldn't have believed it.
However, the other party's intention was also very clear.
She wanted to exchange this for people.
Of course it was possible, but...
"This... I can't set it up."
"My attainments in formations are limited, I haven't learned it."
Dongfang Changli said, "Fellow Daoist can try to purchase materials, and I will help you with the rest, it will probably need five thousand spirit stones.
But the people of our sect... after all, our sect values fellow disciples."
She deliberately didn't say the whole thing.
Gu An said seriously, "All the people in the Heavenly Wind Palace of the courtyard, the fairy can take them away."
"Then thank you, fellow Daoist."
Dongfang Changli said with a smile.
"Then I'll go buy the materials."
Gu An said.
As soon as he finished speaking, Dongfang Changli waved her hand and said, "As it happens, I have some materials on me, I can sell them to fellow Daoist."
Gu An: "???"
Then he spent five thousand spirit stones to buy the formation materials, and also spent some spirit stones to buy musical instruments.
He originally had seven or eight thousand spirit stones left, but in an instant, he was penniless.
This was still from the last time he got them.
Without realizing it, not only were the people being released, but all the spirit stones were gone.
Dongfang Changli had a smiling face, and was quite excited in her heart.
She got the people, and also got the spirit stones.
The power of knowledge was indeed infinite.
That night.
Gu An obtained the Eight-Sound Formation.
Seal, mind-disruption, illusion.
Three major effects.
Combined with the Black Night Barrier, this place could finally be considered relatively stable.
It was just that there were five fewer people, and seven thousand spirit stones were taken away.
Was it a loss?
Slightly, perhaps, after all, he had the Eight-Sound Seal himself.
But at least it made everything reasonable.
So it wasn't considered a loss.
But the other party definitely made a big profit.
After all, she came empty-handed, took away the people she wanted, and also earned seven thousand spirit stones.
This was because she possessed the Eight-Sound Formation.
Knowledge is power, and her ability to inscribe formations was also unmatched by ordinary people, skills combined with knowledge can create wealth.
But he had nothing.
Relying entirely on his senior brothers and sisters to generously donate.
That night.
Gu An came to the prison.
He called out all the people from the Heavenly Wind Palace, naturally including the most important Nangong Qian.
The other party was somewhat surprised, and also somewhat worried.
The others were also puzzled.
Gu An just said calmly, "Let's go, someone has come to redeem you."
That night, Dongfang Changli left with the people.
Saying that there would be opportunities to cooperate again.
Gu An felt that cooperating with the other party would require a lot of spirit stones.
After the people left, Pang Wen and the others asked curiously, "Team leader, how should we record this?"
"Just count some techniques on them."
Gu An said.
Pang Wen nodded.
He didn't know about the transaction between the team leader and the other party.
But the next day, they all received a token.
In addition, the courtyard had an extra gate, and everyone leaving had to go through it once.
Some things were placed in each room, but they could no longer find them when they looked again.
What was certain was that the courtyard was different, but they couldn't find where it was different.
Now there were eleven people left in the courtyard.
Five people had left at once.
The transaction could be considered a win-win for both sides.
Seeing Dongfang Changli carrying a heavy sword and leading the people away, Gu An returned to his residence on the Peak Outside the Peak.
Although the Blood Demon Divine Lord's Eight-Sound Seal wasn't used, it wasn't a pity.
Dongfang Changli's attainment in formations was also not simple.
In addition, he also obtained a slightly complete Eight-Sound Formation.
Most importantly, everything became reasonable.
He didn't have to worry about anything being discovered at all.
Returning to his residence, Gu An didn't plan to continue wanting the weakest captives.
He could randomly assign them.
In addition, the remaining ones, before long, quite a few should also be leaving.
Seeing everyone leaving, many people were putting in their best effort to write, not daring to write anything wrong.
Of course, there were also some people who didn't cooperate.
They were also troublesome, saying that this place was not a place for people to stay, unless the treatment was improved, otherwise they wouldn't write.
If they didn't work, just kill them, a scholar can be killed but not humiliated.
They seemed completely unafraid of death.
Pang Wen and the others could only wait for the situation to improve, and then contact these people's sects to see how many spirit stones they could get.
There were a total of three such people, which was indeed somewhat troublesome, but the number wasn't large, so they would just keep them for now.
There was also enough space in the prison.
But before the next distribution, Gu An received news.
Saying that conflicts had occurred in the other courtyards.
They were some special talismans that exploded directly.
If it weren't for a certain senior brother suppressing them, there would have been big problems long ago.
Not only that, but some captives with special abilities could also become hidden dangers.
This matter caused a stir in the Middle Courtyard.
Originally, no matter how much noise was made, it was his own fault, but the next day the main person responsible for this matter became Gu An.
Gu An had just arrived at the courtyard when he heard hurried footsteps outside.
It seemed that the owner of the footsteps was slightly flustered.
Sure enough, Ruan Huan ran in with a flustered expression and greeted Gu An: "Team leader, something bad has happened. Now, all the courtyards are saying, openly and secretly, that if they hadn't been carrying the weight for the senior brother, something would have happened to the First Courtyard.
They also said that the senior brother was exploiting them by relying on his high merit.
He selected captives without hidden dangers and distributed all the people with hidden dangers to them.
Originally, they didn't have much complaint, after all, it was true that people with high merit should be taken care of, but when something happened, the person involved didn't say a word, not even a word of comfort, which made them feel cold."
Gu An was slightly surprised, not expecting that these people could push the problem onto him.
And he had to comfort them?
And he had become the person involved.
"Is there anything else?" Gu An asked.
"They are now in the Middle Courtyard, seeking an explanation from the senior brother," Ruan Huan said.
Gu An didn't expect that they would not only complain but even come directly.
It had only been a little over a month, and conflicts had already arisen.
And it was directed at him.
"Let's go take a look," Gu An said.
The other courtyards all had fellow disciples to help, probably because of this that they turned their attention to him.
After all, there were no other senior brothers or sisters here.
Middle Courtyard.
When he arrived, there were many people gathered here.
At this time, a man with outstanding features and a tall figure stood in the middle. When he saw Gu An, he said: "Junior brother, are you here to apologize?
There's no need. We can't bear the apology of a busy person like you.
If you go to the Merit Hall and say something, we people will be caught in the middle."
Gu An looked at the other party, not knowing him, but since the other party questioned him, he directly faced him:
"Does senior brother think that my people are too weak?"
"Isn't that so? Others all have Nascent Soul Perfection or even higher, what about you, junior brother? The highest is only Nascent Soul Initial, right? You even took away many Golden Cores." The man looked at Gu An seriously and said: "Looking at it this way, haven't you been taken care of?
Junior brother has the ability to get the people from the Enforcement Hall to take care of you, we have nothing to say.
But in the end, we endured tremendous pressure, doesn't that have anything to do with junior brother?
If it weren't for junior brother, why would we have to live a life of licking blood from the knife's edge?
We might die because of the power of the captives.
Junior brother has never had such worries, isn't the fault on junior brother?
Shouldn't you say a few words of comfort?
Is junior brother afraid that we will eat you up?"
Gu An looked at the other party, not understanding what the other party meant for a moment, but he didn't have the mood to entangle with the other party, and only said:
"Since senior brother thinks that my people are weak, so it's my problem, then senior brother should hand over the troublesome captives to me.
I'll go to my place and get Golden Cores for you.
In this way, I can be considered to be helping senior brother bear the danger, senior brother won't not appreciate it, right?
If you don't appreciate it, senior brother shouldn't say that you are living a life of licking blood from the knife's edge because of me, right?"
+
Gu An's words made the other party a little stunned, seemingly not expecting such a result.
I didn't come here to exchange personnel, where does the use of Golden Cores compare to the strong?
He was entrusted by someone to suppress the other party.
To make him have no way out, and then the other party would come out to help deal with it,
To resolve the pressure.
But things had already changed, and he couldn't pretend that nothing had happened.
Especially since the people on the side who originally supported him were now starting to agree with Gu An's approach.
"Is junior brother serious about this?" Suddenly another man walked out. The other party had the appearance of a refined young master, and every move showed a kind of extraordinary demeanor.
"Naturally," Gu An nodded.
"I do have some pressure here, so I'm counting on junior brother entirely." The other party politely saluted.
"At this time, the man who spoke at the beginning thought of something and also said: "Then thank you, junior brother. I also have people here to exchange.
It's really too much pressure, I have to wrong junior brother."
Gu An knew that these people had other purposes in their hearts.
But as long as they were sent to the First Courtyard, it didn't matter.
After all, the Eight Tone Seal was waiting for them.
Things that could not be sealed before could now be sealed.
If they didn't go through the prepared door, it would take a lot of time to recover even if they left.
After inquiring, Gu An learned that this tall and handsome senior brother was the master of the Fifth Courtyard, Cheng Yu of the Imperial Spirit Peak.
The other party also worked in the Main Courtyard.
He really had a good appearance.
And the refined young master who looked like a scholar was the master of the Fourth Courtyard, Shangguan Xiu of the Spirit Bamboo Peak.
He didn't know how he had provoked these people.
On the other side.
Below the First Courtyard.
Pang Wen sat in front of Qiao He and began to cultivate.
Qiao He regretted it a little. Seeing that the others had left, he naturally wanted to leave as well.
But because of the punishment, he had to leave like this.
Nangong Qian was lucky, a sect actually came to redeem her.
Otherwise, it would be even more difficult for him to get out.
"What's the use of teaching someone with this kind of talent? As cultivators, even though we are prisoners, we must have the arrogance that we should have.
At first glance, this is an ordinary person in terms of talent, why teach him?
I also admire you for actually being threatened by them.
"At this time, a middle-aged man in the prison next to him sneered: "Do you know why they won't force me to write exercises, and won't let me teach people?
Because they are just tyrannical.
The soft are afraid of the hard, the hard are afraid of the tyrannical, and the tyrannical are afraid of those who don't value their lives.
And I'm the one who doesn't value my life. Come on, kill me if you have the ability.
Otherwise, don't even think about making me do things I don't like to do.
Do you really think we are easy to bully?
"The other two people next to him echoed: "That's right, we're just here, doing nothing. If we don't get food, we'll starve to death.
Living like this is worse than dying.
They have benefits when we're alive, and they have no benefits when we're dead.
As merchants of the Demonic Sect, how could they be willing to let us die for no reason?
So you have to wake up, this trash is not worth teaching."
"Fellow Daoist Hu, there's nothing wrong with leaving a way out for yourself, why do you have to go against them?
It's good to leave early," Zhao Qingshan kindly advised.
"I can suffer losses, but not like this. At least their team leader has to come to me and humbly ask me to write, otherwise, no way," Fellow Daoist Hu said coldly.
