Chapter 87: Composing music for war lyrics, a different way to make money!

Dealing with the Profound Heaven Sect is no different from fighting a war, and the most feared situation in fighting a war is not knowing where the enemy is and what their strength is.

Now Chen Shijie and Zhao Xing are discussing the preparatory work for the early stage.

He was originally full of confidence in this plan, but after chatting with Zhao Xing, he found that his preparation was not sufficient.

As the chat with Zhao Xing progressed, slowly supplementing, by the time it got dark, Chen Shijie found that the preparatory work he had to do had doubled, but the plan was actually simpler.

The plan doesn't need to be too complicated, as long as the preparation is sufficient, it is actually very simple when the plan is really executed.

"Okay, let's stop here for today." Chen Shijie rubbed his eye sockets, "You should also be careful recently, try not to leave the city. If you must leave the city, notify me or Xue Wenzhong."

"Understood." Zhao Xing nodded.

He had never intended to participate in the Profound Heaven Sect incident before, but since he is now involved, he must make sufficient preparations.

Although Chen Shijie is a tall man standing in front, he, a short man, cannot just rely on others.

In the final analysis, he must be strong enough to fear nothing!

Early the next morning, Zhao Xing brought the mountain cat to the Huailiu Courtyard to practice.

"Now I am a Proper Ninth-Rank Upper. Although the realm is restricted, there is still room for improvement in spells." Zhao Xing looked at the panel.

The mid-rank Four Heavenly Time Spells, Yin Wind, and Lightning Induction are already Nine Turns, but not yet perfect.

Ice Rain is perfect, but it is not without room for improvement.

If he can continue to comprehend, he can break through the limit, let the spell break through Nine Turns, and continue to increase its power.

"The Four Heavenly Time Spells are still missing the mid-rank Cloud Spell."

"The spells of the Land-Benefit School, there is only Earth Vein Synthesis, if I can get the Cao family's Earth-Splitting Method, that would be great."

"The self-created mid-rank Lightning Spell also has room for improvement."

"There is also the Straw Man Method, which should also try the mid-rank Straw Man Method."

It is very, very difficult to make a breakthrough in spells in a short time.

Now normal practice, mid-rank perfection, no longer adds progress, this is reaching a certain bottleneck. It needs timing to break through.

Nine Turns not yet perfect, practicing for a day may not even increase by 1 point.

"If you want to break through in a short time, you can only pay to win!" Zhao Xing thought to himself.

"Meow?" The mountain cat blinked suspiciously, what is paying to win? Can it be eaten?

"Can't be eaten, and you can only eat Heavenly Yuan Pears during this time, I have to save money." Zhao Xing put the mountain cat into the bamboo box and got up to leave.

He took the mountain cat and knocked on the door of the Zong Mansion.

The doorman didn't recognize Zhao Xing, he looked at him: "Young master, who are you looking for?"

"Looking for Zong Shichang, please tell him, Zhao Xing is visiting."

"Oh? Zhao Sijia, please come in, young master said, young master doesn't need to report when the young master comes in." The doorman immediately welcomed Zhao Xing enthusiastically.

"Many thanks."

After entering the door, the doorman immediately summoned a servant to report, and another steward led Zhao Xing forward along the veranda.

The Zong family mansion occupied more than half of Dongzheng Street.

The verandas, pavilions, water pavilions, orchid pavilions, rockeries, and gardens inside almost made people dazzled.

It took seven or eight minutes to walk on the veranda to see Zong Shichang!

When he saw him, Zong Shichang was fishing on his own water pavilion, and a table of food was already prepared next to him.

"Zhao Sijia, welcome, welcome." Zong Shichang put away the fishing rod, called for a towel to wipe his hands, "Please sit."

"Young Master Zong, is your life so plain, unadorned, and boring?" Zhao Xing looked at the rich food.

Two people, twenty or thirty dishes, even what the mountain cat eats was prepared by him!

Zong Shichang shook his head: "You are a distinguished guest, and it is your first time visiting. It stands to reason that it should be more luxurious. But you didn't notify in advance, so these can only be made do with."

"Since you are here, you must have dinner before leaving today. No! Stay overnight at my place!"

Zhao Xing was a bit surprised; he felt Zong Shichang was a bit too enthusiastic.

This was his first time visiting his door, and before it was just a nodding acquaintance, it was too polite, right?

But he didn't say much, he still had requests for Zong Shichang.

Besides, the mountain cat could follow along and eat and drink here, not eating for free.

"Can I touch it?" Zong Shichang looked at the mountain cat, very fond of it, and wanted to touch it when he saw it was cute.

"Wait until it finishes eating before touching it." Zhao Xing smiled, "After it finishes eating, it will be comfortable, and then it will be easy to touch."

"Also." Zong Shichang poured wine for Zhao Xing, "Come, let's have a drink?"

"If you want to drink, change to a big cup, otherwise how can it be enjoyable?"

Zong Shichang was stunned, then laughed loudly: "Okay, you are really refreshing, come here, take out my Water Moon Glazed Cup."

The big cup went on the battle, Zhao Xing was not polite, regardless of whether it was any Water Moon Glazed Cup, he picked up a pot and filled it, and started eating and drinking with Young Master Zong.

After taking the Giant Whale Pill, his physique was much stronger, and drinking Young Master Zong like this, ten of them were not a problem.

After a while, Young Master Zong had entered a semi-drunk state, and Zhao Xing was only slightly tipsy.

Seeing that the state was about the same, Zhao Xing started to talk about business.

"Young Master Zong, I have something to say, see if you can help handle it."

"Handle, must handle!" Zong Shichang said boldly, "You just say it, brother, I will do my best to handle it for you!"

He was waiting for Zhao Xing to speak, not afraid of your needs, just afraid that you have no requests.

Otherwise, what about the things promised to Lu Qian?

"I want to buy preaching paintings, Nanyang Commandery, I am too lazy to run, in Gu City here, I think only your family has a way." Zhao Xing said.

"Preaching paintings?" Zong Shichang waved his hand, "What rank do you want? I have collected some of the Third-Rank ones in the mansion in Gu City, in all aspects, I will give you a few scrolls!"

"Third-Rank is not enough, it must be Fourth-Rank."

Hearing that it was a Fourth-Rank preaching painting, Zong Shichang's wine also woke up a bit: "Fourth-Rank, this is a bit difficult to handle."

He has money, but he can't give away Fourth-Rank preaching paintings at will.

That thing is not cheap.

Zhao Xing smiled: "Brother, am I someone who takes advantage? Of course, I buy it with money. As long as Brother Zong can find the way, that is a big help."

This is the truth, in terms of buying and selling, Chen Shijie is not as good as the Zong family, he is not a local, and his foundation is not in Nanyang Commandery.

Zong Shichang nodded and said: "It's not that brother is stingy, Fourth-Rank preaching paintings are rarely circulated in the market, generally they are collected in the hands of various families, waiting for the price to be sold, only circulating in the internal small circle."

"Of course, I can guarantee that whatever price I Zong Shichang get it for, I will give it to you for that price."

Zhao Xing said: "What is the price of a Fourth-Rank preaching painting?"

Zong Shichang scratched his head, then shouted to the back: "Uncle Tang, call Uncle Tang over!"

After a while, a middle-aged man in a long gown came to the water pavilion.

"Young master."

"Uncle Tang, what is the price of a Fourth-Rank preaching painting?"

Steward Tang pondered: "Young master, it depends on the quality and type."

"Usually, martial arts secret technique types are cheaper, and spell-type preaching paintings are more expensive."

"Among them, the most expensive are those of etiquette cultivation, music cultivation, mechanism masters, and pharmacists."

Zong Shichang said: "What about Agricultural Officials?"

Steward Tang said: "That depends on what the requirements are."

Zong Shichang turned his head: "Zhao Xing, what are your requirements?"

Zhao Xing said: "If it is related to the Four Heavenly Time Spells, I want the Cloud Spell preaching painting the most, and the Rain Spell is second."

"If it is a Land-Benefit spell, Earth-Splitting Method, Earth-Treasury Method, Earth-Palace Method, Mysterious Earth Method, nothing else is wanted."

"In addition, auxiliary paintings for defense and trapping enemies are prioritized, and killing is second."

Zong Shichang looked at Steward Tang: "Did you remember everything?"

Steward Tang nodded: "I have recorded everything, I will go to inquire."

Zong Shichang said: "Can you inquire about it?"

Steward Tang pondered: "Land-Benefit School spells, looking for the Cao family will definitely have a result. The paintings of Heavenly Time School spells, the master has prepared some for you, but in the commandery, just ask someone and you will know."

Zong Shichang was overjoyed: "Good, good, good, this is the top priority, Uncle Tang, you must pay attention."

Steward Tang didn't leave, and asked one more question: "Young Master Zhao, are there any requirements for the price?"

This is asking about Zhao Xing's payment ability.

I can find the things, but money, can you afford it?

Zong Shichang was unhappy: "You just go and look for it, look for Fourth-Rank Upper, ask for the price first and then talk."

"Also, young master is right, I will go and handle it." Steward Tang arched his hand and retired.

After finalizing the business, Zhao Xing saw that the mountain cat had eaten almost enough, so he planned to leave.

"Why are you leaving? Didn't we agree to go to the Wangyue Tower in the East City to enjoy the moon tonight?"

"Is there?" Zhao Xing was a bit confused, he didn't remember agreeing, Zong Shichang must be drunk and confused.

"I have arranged everything." Zong Shichang said: "Enjoy the moon on the Moon Festival, go to play for a day on the Harvest Festival..."

Zhao Xing had black lines all over his head, big brother, you are just thinking about playing. Really not doing any business? On the Harvest Festival, you still have to go down to the jurisdiction to see the harvest!

It was hard to refuse the hospitality, and he had requests for others, so Zhao Xing had to say: "Okay. Just now I forgot to say, I brought some things this time, all good things obtained on the mountain."

"I can't estimate the price, you see how much money it can sell for."

To buy Fourth-Rank preaching paintings, Zhao Xing brought silver notes.

But afraid that the money was not enough, he brought the treasures snatched last time, bamboo horse, tiger soul knife, soft armor, sparrow feather magic clothing, including the Third-Rank Earth Sha Pill and Five Viscera Sha-Cleansing Pill in the Great Dream Academy.

Including the Fourth-Rank Ice Cold Bead fished from Donghu Lake.

It's just that he didn't really want to sell this bead, because after obtaining the [Ice Rain] spell, this bead came in handy, which could enhance the power of the Ice Rain spell.

"Easy to say, easy to say, let me see." Zong Shichang saw Zhao Xing sit down, naturally everything was promised.

"Third-Rank Lower bamboo horse." Zhao Xing took out the bamboo horse.

In the inactive state, the bamboo horse is only as big as a low stool, the bamboo box is half a person high, more than enough to hold it.

"Bamboo horse mechanism beast, unfortunately, the spirituality is already very weak." Zong Shichang observed for a while, "It once nurtured a war soul, it is a rare thing. If used for a long time, it is easier to give birth to a war soul than ordinary bamboo horses. If I estimate the price, it is worth about three or four hundred taels. Take the middle number, three hundred and fifty taels."

Zhao Xing nodded, Third-Rank treasures, the value fluctuates between one hundred and five hundred taels, some are very expensive, some are relatively cheap, mainly depending on the profession and characteristics.

Martial artist profession treasures are usually relatively cheap, bamboo horses are considered slightly more expensive Third-Rank treasures.

"Tiger Soul Knife, Third-Rank Lower, mass-produced goods. These few handles all have slight gaps, breaking the appearance, the recycling price is about eighty taels each." Zong Shichang said.

Zhao Xing nodded, this price is also very reasonable.

"Minglou Soft Armor, Third-Rank Middle, produced by the Huo family forging shop, the quality is okay, and there are no defects, just a bit old, it can probably sell for one hundred and sixty taels each."

Armor is more expensive than knives, this price is also very normal.

Four knives, three sets of armor, plus the bamboo horse, it adds up to one thousand one hundred and fifty taels.

Zhao Xing took out the Sparrow Feather Magic Clothing again.

Seeing the magic clothing, Zong Shichang couldn't help but be trance-like, the light on the jade pendant on his neck flashed, and then he resisted the influence of the eyes on the magic clothing.

"Sparrow Feather Magic Clothing made of Peng Sparrow feathers? And a Fourth-Rank feather, rare goods." Zong Shichang's eyes became playful. "This was sold by my family, there are twelve pieces in Nanyang Commandery."

Zhao Xing didn't notice Zong Shichang's eyes, just asked the price: "How much is it worth?"

Zong Shichang smiled: "It was sold at a price of two thousand eight hundred taels at that time."

Zhao Xing was overjoyed: "So expensive? It's comparable to the price of Fourth-Rank!"

Zong Shichang said slowly: "The price is of course far beyond the value of the treasure itself, but women's things, earning dozens of times, dozens of times the profit is very common."

Zhao Xing was very happy: "How much can second-hand goods sell for?"

Zong Shichang shook his head: "The second-hand goods of this luxury item can't sell for a price, because it is a close-fitting item. Of course, you can say it is new to the outside world, but without the conditions of my family's auction and hype, it can probably sell for about 40% of the price."

"I'll sell it to you." Zhao Xing said, "I only want 70%."

Zong Shichang shook his head with a smile: "Brother, listen to my advice, don't sell it. I dare not accept it if you sell it."

Zhao Xing asked: "Are you saying there will be trouble?"

Zong Shichang blinked: "It can't be said to be trouble, if I accept it, I will be beaten half to death by her."

Zhao Xing reacted: "You recognize the owner of this treasure?"

Zong Shichang nodded: "Yes, her name is Lu Qian, the daughter of the Nanyang Lu family, I have known her since childhood, this Sparrow Feather Magic Clothing was bought by her for two thousand something at that time, and she will also come to Wangyue Tower tonight."

Zhao Xing tentatively asked: "Brother Zong, your enthusiastic hospitality today, is it because you want to help her get back the magic clothing?"

Zong Shichang smiled: "How could I come to be such a villain?"

Then what does it mean?

"She wants to find an opportunity to see you. Based on my understanding of her, she has no intention of blaming you."

Zong Shichang suddenly winked and whispered: "You are talented and have extraordinary talent, if you can... what if the magic clothing is returned? Do you understand what I mean?"

Zhao Xing understood.

The Sparrow Feather Magic Clothing is a close-fitting item, now it is in his hands, then there are no more than two situations.

One is that Lu Qian was robbed by him, and the magic clothing was taken away, the second is that Lu Qian was saved by him, and the magic clothing was sent out.

Because of the existence of the Forget-Sorrow Monument, everyone doesn't remember what happened.

I am afraid that the Miss Lu family mistakenly thinks it is the latter situation.

Zong Shichang is pulling strings here, it turns out to be hinting that he can eat soft rice!

He has obtained too much good luck on the mountain, his luck is at its peak, and there will inevitably be a few moments of bad luck in the future.

＿ttkΛn＿co

Could it be that it is here? Peach Blossom Tribulation?

Zhao Xing said indifferently: "I have no interest in this matter, I won't go to this Wangyue Tower."

He intends to avoid it to avoid unnecessary trouble.

Regardless of Lu Qian's purpose, not getting close is also a way to deal with it.

Zong Shichang said anxiously: "Don't, Brother Zhao, you must go, if you don't go, how can I see Miss Liu next time?"

Zhao Xing then understood that Zong Shichang still had someone he liked, and also made a deal with Lu Qian.

The two are both military advisors to each other and the parties involved.

After Zong Shichang confessed everything, Zhao Xing suddenly changed his mind.

Because he found that Lu Qian was quite determined, and it was not the first time she had come to Zong Shichang to talk about this.

It feels like even if he doesn't agree this time, she will find some reason to see him next time.

Since he can't hide, let's go and solve it.

Anyway, it is in the city, no matter how bad the luck is, it can't be bad anywhere, there is definitely no danger to life, and there is definitely no big danger.

It just so happens that he hasn't seen a musician and a dancer for a long time. It is said that these two people can still perform "Six Songs", so it doesn't hurt to go and see.

"It's not impossible to go, Brother Zong, since you admire that Miss Liu, why don't I help you." Zhao Xing suddenly thought of something.

Zong Shichang asked back: "How do you want to help me?"

Zhao Xing said: "I will sell you a poem, you can use this to express your heart, at tonight's Wangyue Tower banquet, you can give it to that Miss Liu."

Zong Shichang was not interested, he didn't think Zhao Xing could have any good poems.

Unexpectedly, after Zhao Xing finished whispering in his ear, Zong Shichang's eyes lit up: "Eh? This poem really has something..."

Zhao Xing smiled: "The musician composes music with new poems, which can greatly increase her cultivation. The wider the spread, the better the effect. Since the Miss Liu you mentioned is a musician, she will definitely like it."

"If you don't believe it, you can try it tonight. If it doesn't achieve the effect, I won't charge you. If you think it's okay, this poem will be worth a Fourth-Rank preaching painting, how about it?"

Zong Shichang didn't know the way, but he also believed that Zhao Xing would not lie. Although he didn't understand, there were plenty of people who understood, so he nodded: "Okay, I bought it!"
