Chen Chen froze when he heard this, but he was not surprised.
He just poked someone's foot with a straw. It would be strange if they didn't notice it, not to mention that he was a strong man in the combined realm.
After two seconds of silence, Chen Chen turned around and fell in front of Sect Leader Jin and the weak Lian Yang.
"Are you the new guest elder of our Jin Sheng Sect?" Sect Master Jin looked at Chen Chen with a somewhat complicated expression.
"Yes, that's right." Chen Chen was neither humble nor arrogant, and did not show the slightest fear because the other party was a strong person in the Fusion Realm.
After all, his status now is that of an "outside world expert".
"Fellow Taoist, thank you just now. If you hadn't warned me in time, my junior brother would have been in danger."
Hearing Sect Leader Jin's words, Lian Yang also recalled something, and suddenly became very excited. He sat up forcefully and said, "Brother Zhang, when I was in a daze just now, I felt someone patting me. Is that also your handiwork?"
Chen Chen smiled slightly without comment, which made Lian Yang moved for a while.
As the saying goes, a friend in need is a friend indeed, and now he has finally seen it.
Although this fellow Taoist is just a secret reminder, after all, he is doing something under the eyes of the disciples of the Evil Temple, and the risk is not small.
What's more important is that part of the reason why my senior brother saved me was for the sake of the sect, but for Fellow Daoist Zhang, it was really because of friendship!
"If the disciples of the Evil Temple leave for this trip, they will definitely come back to take revenge one day. I don't know much about the methods of the Evil Temple. I dare to ask the sect master, what methods will he probably use if he wants to take revenge?"
Chen Chen looked at Sect Master Jin with a serious tone.
Back then, a disciple of the Evil Dragon Sect made the Jade Cauldron Sect tremble, and even scared the Scarlet Demon Sect into fleeing. But this time, it was the serious disciples of the Evil Temple who were offended.
Sect Leader Jin twitched his eyes when he heard this and said: "The Evil Temple will not hit the door directly, but... it may embarrass our Jin Sheng Sect in other ways, such as asking our Jin Sheng Sect to compensate for things that cannot be obtained..."
"Senior brother, this is my fault. If he really makes that request, I will save the sect's losses in the future even if I risk my life."
Lian Yang looked guilty. To be honest, although he didn't have any major problems, at this moment, he felt no better than dying.
Now he understands that he does not live just for himself. Even if he wants to die, many people will risk their lives to save him.
…
Facts have proved that Sect Leader Jin is still very capable.
Not long after, news came from the disciples of the Evil Temple, asking the Jin Sheng Sect to compensate for the losses with a total value of one hundred spiritual crystals.
Not the best spiritual stone, but spiritual crystal.
You must know that there are generally not many spiritual crystals in the entire mine. These things are strategic resources in the sect. Usually only the top masters in the sect are qualified to use them.
According to the market price, one spiritual crystal can be exchanged for 10,000 top-quality spiritual stones. One hundred spiritual crystals is equivalent to one million top-quality spiritual stones, and there is no market price.
Jin Shengzong might be able to get one million top-quality spiritual stones by gritting his teeth, but it would be a bit difficult for him to get one hundred spiritual crystals.
…
In Lian Yang's hut.
Sect Leader Jin was not as worried as he imagined. Instead, he smiled and said to Lian Yang: "Junior brother, it's just a hundred spiritual crystals. Although our sect is short of a few, I will go out to refine a weapon for someone and give it a discount. Using spiritual crystals as a settlement, I think I can still get them for you. Are we, the weapon refiners, still short of spiritual stones? You can rest assured and recover."
Lian Yang gritted his teeth and nodded.
However, Sect Master Jin had only been out for a long time before he returned to Jin Sheng Sect from outside with a gloomy look.
Compared to before, his mood was several times more solemn now, and his eyebrows were full of worry.
This time, he did not go to the mountain peak of Lian Yang. Instead, he landed in front of the mountain gate and fell into deep thought in front of the huge stone engraved with the three characters of Jin Shengzong.
"Sect Master, what's wrong? Is this trip not going well?"
At this time, Mo Ying appeared beside him silently, his voice slightly uneasy.
Lian Yang was uncomfortable, and she was equally uncomfortable. She even looked a bit more haggard than Lian Yang.
Seeing the appearance of his nephew, Sect Master Jin shook his head and sighed: "Why doesn't my junior brother understand? If he had become a Taoist partner with you earlier, how could this happen?"
When Mo Ying heard this, there was no joy in the praise on his face. Instead, he was very nervous and said: "Sect Master, what happened?"
She wanted to take out some spirit stones or something to help refine Yang, but all her spirit stones had already been replaced by weapon refining materials for Chen Chen? Now she is truly helpless.
Sect Leader Jin looked at Mo Ying and said bitterly: "That person spread the news outside, saying that our Jin Sheng Sect was greedy for weapon refining materials and wanted to deduct them. As a result, he made a mistake and broke his important treasure, causing him extremely heavy losses.
In the half day I've been out, several waves of news have come from the Jinshengcheng store. At least four sects have severed their long-term cooperative relations with us. "
"ah?"
Mo Ying was shocked.
You must know that refining weapons is not like refining elixirs. They can be produced in batches. As long as they are refined, there will be no worries about sales.
Weapon refining is more about fit, and most of the business is custom-made.
In this case, credibility is particularly important.
If there was no credibility, which monk would be willing to hand over the weapon-refining materials he had worked so hard to accumulate to the weapon-refining master with peace of mind
Which monk is willing to hand over his personal treasure to a refiner for re-refining
Jin Shengzong's reputation was originally very good, but after that person spread the news, its reputation may plummet.
Without credibility, no matter how skilled you are, others will not entrust you with their business.
What's more, the person who spread the news was a disciple of the Evil Temple.
When he spreads this kind of news, it is equivalent to expressing an attitude.
Under such circumstances, which sect would be willing to take the risk of offending the Evil Temple and hand over business to the Jin Sheng Sect
Although the Jin Sheng Sect's weapon refining level is good, it is not irreplaceable.
This move was simply a blow to Jin Shengzong!
"Don't tell Lian Yang about this in advance, and don't tell anyone else in the sect, do you understand?"
Sect Master Jin said to Mo Ying in a serious tone.
Mo Ying nodded, his face turned slightly pale. When the news spread, other people in the sect would know that it was Uncle Lian who ruined everyone's jobs... The sect would soon become disloyal.
Uncle Lianshi is a noble person. If he learns about this kind of thing, he might do something stupid.
"Then Sect Master... what should we do about this?"
"I'll find a few familiar old friends first, borrow some spiritual crystals, and compensate that person first. As for the reputation of the sect... Well, let's think of a solution later."
Sect Master Jin said helplessly, this is all he can do now.
Hearing this, Mo Ying was at a loss for a moment.
You can hide it for a while, but you can't hide it forever. In this case, Uncle Lian will know the truth sooner or later.
Thinking of this, she felt a little headache. At this moment, a person suddenly appeared in her mind, making her eyes suddenly light up, as if she had grasped a life-saving straw. "
"Sect Master, why don't we go ask Elder Tianyunzi, the guest elder?"
"Although that man has some means, he is too young. Regarding this matter..." Sect Leader Jin hesitated.
Although he had seen Tianyunzi before, he didn't know much about his methods.
"Senior Tianyunzi's appearance is fake. In fact, his real appearance is that of a white-haired old man. As for his abilities..."
Speaking of this, Mo Ying's eyes were full of bitterness and he murmured: "How can we still have so many choices in our situation now? I can only ask him with the mentality of giving it a try."
