One hundred and three: retreat as advance? (First update)

  Ming Ren was the most honest, seeing Wang Meng's forged sword, although it was a symbol of double cultivation, he still said frankly that he couldn't see any advantages, unlike other disciples, one hundred people looked at it, one hundred nodded and shook their heads, muttering "good good good", but actually didn't know where it was good.

  Lingyintang obviously wants to get along with Leigongtang, and it's really a case of not hitting it off without knowing each other. Wang Meng and the others also appreciate Li Tianyi and Mingren's character, even if they are opponents, they must be upright and open-minded, having such an opponent is a kind of happiness.

  As a disciple of Leigongtang, when they saw the disciples of Lingyintang willing to call them brothers and friends, it felt like being reborn from a world of walking corpses.

  Former disciples of Leigongtang, wherever they go, are looked down upon by others and also look down on themselves. They just drift through the day, calculating how to make a little money, storing up a piece of spiritual stone or something, completely forgetting their own identity, not to mention any sense of existence.

  Practitioners are also human beings and need recognition and encouragement, especially from outside.

  Everyone is high above, like Li Tianyi, who needs to be looked up to. To be honest, the former Leigongtang disciples didn't even have the qualifications to look up to him, but now Li Tianyi is chatting and laughing with Leigongzhan in the hall, just like friends.

  Chen Haiguang saw this scene and for some reason, a big man actually had a little moisture in his eyes. The disciples of Leigongtang finally looked like human beings.

  The Leigongtang incident was an unexpected event, and it made all the disciples realize that as long as they dared to show themselves, even a mediocre horse could be a thousand-mile horse. Maybe they themselves had great talent too, just waiting for a wise mentor. But if you didn't show yourself, then you would only have the fate of suffocating to death.

  So the scale of other temples in the back is also expanding, but unfortunately, the ancestors are no longer appearing.

  The auctions of Baicao Hall and Yushou Hall are about to begin, which is also the highlight of every Baibao Conference. After watching for half a day, it's still not as good as getting something tangible in hand.

  Of course, Baicao Hall and Yu Shou Hall also have things they need, they sell them out, not only for Ling Shi, but also to exchange for Gong Fa, Dan Yao and so on. Of course, what they need is absolutely not something that can be easily bought, it's usually very difficult. As usual, they will also put them up for auction, allowing people who have these things to participate in the auction.

  Yu Shou Tang has decided to auction off high-quality spiritual beasts this time, rather than always cheating them with inferior ones. After all, spiritual beasts are also divided into three, six and nine grades, with different specialties and completely different values. It's probably due to the stimulation of Lei Guang Tang that they've become a bit unbalanced, and now they're trying to regain some face.

  Everyone didn't take Bao Tang Hui too seriously, and as a result, Leiguan Hall took advantage of the loophole. Apart from Leiguan Hall, where else has such a grand branch?

  What's most important is that after Leigangtang was exposed this time, it really stimulated a lot of transactions. Although the level is average, the price is cheap. With so many things, there will always be someone who just needs them. Rather than buying expensive ones, it's better to have a good deal with Leigangtang.

  In fact, Zhou Qian's talisman, Hu Jing's elixir, Suo Ming's weapon, including Chen Haigang and others' things, are actually not bad at all, and they're not as poor as imagined. Previously, everyone was biased and infinitely belittled them, but in reality, they can be used.

  Buying and selling is secondary, although Leiguan Hall is relatively poor, what makes everyone happy is that the things are sold out.

  Even Hu Jing, a calm person, couldn't help but boast a few times.

  But Wang Meng's stuff is not for sale, this is an important plot.

  They didn't sell it, but someone came knocking on their door, and it was Zhang Liang.

  For this special Baicao Tang disciple, everyone has also heard of it, especially recently.

  "I've met all of you seniors, I'm Zhang Liang. First of all, congratulations on the grand success of Leigongtang's gathering."

  Zhang Liang smiled and said, a typical businessman's style. Although he was born into a merchant family, Zhang Xiaopang didn't have the same ruthless streak as him, taking business to the holy temple.

  "Zhang Shixiong, you're too polite, I should be thanking you instead," Hu Jing said, still being very courteous to Zhang Liang. After all, in the introduction on that talisman, Zhang Liang was quite biased towards Lei Guangtang. If he were to spread rumors, it would have been a different story altogether.

  "Nothing, nothing, I'm just stating the facts. Wang Shixiong is our model, we should all learn from him."

  Zhang Liang said seriously.

  "I say, Zhang Shixiong, this one vote has earned quite a bit, and this ability to take advantage of every opportunity is truly impressive!"

  Zhang Xiaopang is also a businessman. He has sold so many talismans in the past few days that even if he contributed five of them, he would have made a fortune.

  "It's all small profits, this time I borrowed from Brother Wang's story, Lei Guangtang should get a share, I exchanged it for spirit stones, ten pieces of low-grade spirit stones, the rest I'll use as cost, and also make some small money."

  Zhang Liang said, everyone was stunned, is there really such a good thing? ??

  Ten pieces of Ling Stone, they knew how difficult it was, but others casually threw out ten.

  When ten pieces of Ling Stone were laid out, Zhang Xiaojiang immediately collected them. He was Wang Meng's accountant.

  Zhang Liang's attention was all on Wang Meng, he was observing every detail, famous or not, it seemed that nothing had left any impression on him.

  When he took out the Ling Stone, everyone's eyes were on the Ling Stone, but he was completely unmoved.

  Ling stone is essential for cultivation, no one can resist it, why?

  Ordinary people love wealth, cultivators love wealth even more, they just have a different kind of wealth, such as spiritual stones, magical instruments and other treasures, and their greedy heart is even stronger.

  But what Wang Meng was thinking about, he had been secretly observing these days, but couldn't figure it out.

  Zhang Liang knew that if you don't enter the tiger's den, how can you get the tiger's son? And you can't go empty-handed. Sharing benefits is the way to do business. In fact, this time's profit wasn't that high, but Zhang Liang still made up a whole number and took out ten pieces of spiritual stone, hoping to establish a relationship.

  "Wang Shixiong, I have a question in my heart that I must ask, I heard that you gave up the proposal of the four ancestors and still want to practice swordsmanship?"

  Zhang Liang didn't want to listen to outside rumors and wanted to confirm it himself. He looked into Wang Meng's eyes, a person can lie, but their eyes cannot deceive others.

  "Zhang Shixiong was just joking, those were all rumors. The four ancestors only expressed their appreciation and encouragement for the younger generation, and did not mean to accept disciples. And I am a sword cultivator, I will only be a sword cultivator."

  Wang Meng said that now, as a member of the Holy Temple, he did not want to become a proud and arrogant person in the eyes of his ancestors. The saying "praise can make one's bones rot" is a universal truth that applies to any world.

  Zhang Liang nodded, feeling surprised in his heart, but he could also understand. It was just like him - even if he were to focus on cultivating his skills, he wouldn't be too willing. He liked his current occupation and pace of life.

  What's more, he has seen the rise and fall of many people in this line. The master may be happy to accept you as a disciple for the time being, but if you can't show what they need, you might be abandoned. This kind of great fluctuation is really unbearable for ordinary people.

  It seems now that Wang Meng's move of retreating in order to advance is the royal way, regardless of whether it's true or false.
