The Xiangshui River is long, and the plum grove is picturesque. Xu Yi is lying on the edge of the bamboo house, playing with the wishful beads in his hand, and two white cranes are flying around the plum grove in the sky.
Huang Mei leaned beside Xu Yi, squinting at Xu Yi, "That's right, this wave of puppies is really good at pretending, I really underestimated you, I thought you would be overwhelmed by those five black yellow essences, didn't you?" Thinking of you, you actually survived. However, I said that you will not pretend to be addicted, forget about the business. "
Xu Yi said calmly, "Everything that comes out of your mouth, the quality will drop. I don't have time to talk to you, so I'm going to sleep first." After speaking, he closed his eyes, not sure if he was asleep or feigning sleep.
At this moment, his face was calm, but his heart was agitated.
After pretending for several months, it finally blossomed and bore fruit.
Since that day, after questioning the case at the Sanxianyuan, he has comprehended the path that Yu Dushixin pointed out to him, the path of a celebrity.
Having been promoted to the position of meritorious service officer, he has already touched the ceiling of promotion, and it is of little significance to continue to suffer in Sanxianyuan.
After all, Xu Yi's pursuit is different from that of ordinary officials. Ordinary officials think that they have great power, and they can easily reap benefits for a long time by guarding this lucrative position.
Xu Yi's pursuit is only one thing, which is resources, resources for cultivation, and the purpose of obtaining an official position is for resources.
He has now reached the Great Perfection of the Yang Fish Realm, and going forward, the only thing he lacks is resources, a large amount of Black Yellow Essence.
To obtain these resources, if he only relied on his position as a meritorious Cao, it would take decades, at least, and he couldn't afford to wait.
On the contrary, it is more feasible to take the path of celebrities. If he is a meritorious scholar, he can only contact the lower class people. If he is a celebrity, he can be friends with Yu Dushi. Undoubtedly, being with big shots makes it easier to become big shots. What the great man leaks through the fingers is enough for the little man's lifetime savings.
Xu Yi has traveled the road of celebrity in the past, but this time, he decided to play at a higher level.
He has done some research, and in today's world, there are not a lot of celebrities. They may be able to become famous quickly by relying on diction alone, but it may be difficult to stand out and become famous.
This requires strategy.
Xu Yi's strategy is to superimpose celebrities and hermits. If you don't believe in this combination, you can't stand out.
Facts have proved that these months of camouflage were not in vain. From his gradual rise in fame, he will definitely reach a very high level after Fu'an Jun's birthday today.
At this time, the harvest season is not far away.
Sure enough, as he had expected, people flocked to him after Mr. Fu'an Zuo Jian talked about his birthday that day. He has exquisite perception, so naturally he would not give people the chance to meet him by chance.
He moved several times around the Xiangshui River, and this matter became a good talk again.
But after several tosses, no one was able to meet him, and gradually, no one bothered him anymore.
However, the popularity of emptiness did not drop because of this, on the contrary, it became higher and higher. There has always been an unbreakable truth: what the world lacks, it will pursue what it is.
There are even noble families who send out fifty black yellow essences to invite empty guests to pass by for a while.
At that time, Xu Yi was so greedy that his saliva was drooling all over the floor, and he was about to crush his steel teeth, so he managed to hold it back and failed.
Since then, people in the world have completely stopped their thoughts of seeing the empty guest.
More than a month later, Kong Kongke and Liu Guancen appeared without warning at the banquet of Gao Bohou sentenced by the Grain Institute.
During the entire banquet, Xu Yi was dressed in white, and his level of talking and laughing was no less than that of the meeting in Xianlin City. With the theme of the moon, he chanted three poems in a row, which attracted earth-shattering applause.
After drinking three glasses of wine, Xu Yi bid farewell to his host Gao Bohou. Gao Bohou prepared a generous gift, Xu Yi did not refuse, took it calmly, and walked away.
Xu Yi's sudden arrival was even more unexpected, especially when he accepted Gao Bohou's gift frankly, many people were dumbfounded, thinking that Xu Yi was invited by Gao Bohou with a lot of money.
Gao Bohou hurriedly said, "The guest of the void came here suddenly. I didn't invite you. I'm not afraid of your jokes. What I prepared for the guest of the void was just five pieces of black yellow essence. If this is considered an important gift, I don't know when What is the recommendation of Mr. Kuang Ming's vain post to be an immortal, and the fifty black yellow essences by the Xiangshui that day?"
Five Xuan Huang Jing, of course, is a heavy gift, Gao Bohou is also a little bit pained, the key is that the empty guest came here, it gave Tian a big face, if he didn't express it, I was afraid it would make people laugh. Thinking about it carefully, these five Xuan Huang Jing are too much for others, but not at all for the empty guest, and he even made a lot of money.
The people didn't get an answer at Gao Bohou's place, so they went to surround Liu Guancen again.
Liu Guancen said, "Gentlemen, the situation is like this. Today, I was fishing by the Surabaya River with Kongkongke. Some monks went south frequently. I asked the passing monks and learned that Mr. Gao is hosting a banquet today. Kongxuke said that he was too shy. , I wanted to sell some poems and essays, so I came here, and I followed."
As soon as these words came out, there was a dead silence.
After a while, someone said loudly, "As expected of the empty guest who visited Liu on a snowy night, he did it rashly, admiration, admiration."
For a moment, the audience was filled with admiration.
No one noticed that a phantom slipped out. After half a stick of incense, it turned into a ghostly phantom and chased after Xu Yi.
"Tsk tsk, you're the one who knows how to play. No one can do this trick to you. It's obviously a shameless lie to Xuanhuangjing, but those guys say it's so fresh and refined, and they take the initiative to advocate for you. You kid really played out of bounds."
Huang Mei collapsed in the nest, joking with yin and yang.
Xu Yi sighed, "It's not in vain that I held back and didn't reach out."
Back then, outside the Xiangshui River, he didn't take the fifty black yellow essences, in order to create a golden body for his reputation.
With this golden body, at the moment when he took five pieces of black yellow essence, everyone commented on his rashness and celebrity demeanor.
Even the most demanding celebrity colleagues did not dare to criticize at this time, so they could only sit back and watch Xu Yi stand up and make money with red eyes.
Since then, people began to invite Xu Yi to the banquet by the Xiangshui River, but Xu Yi would never accept.
Often every month or so, he would come to a certain banquet without being invited, chat and laugh with the guests in the same way, and after singing poems and prose, he would accept the embellishment money prepared by the host in advance, and then leave.
And the instrument gold prepared by Uncle Gao that day became a red line. After Xu Yi participated in the banquet, he received no less than five pens for embellishment.
What's more, the heroic master, after receiving Xu Yi's wonderful essay, brought out twenty pieces of black yellow essence on a tray on the spot.
Everything is afraid of comparison, someone who starts first, someone else will challenge, but in just one and a half years, Xu Yi has collected more than two hundred and fifty Xuan Huang Jing.
After refining more than a hundred black yellow essences, he faintly felt that the barrier was about to be opened, so he stopped participating in the banquet, and closed his hands to prepare to attack the realm of the gods.
