Chapter 56 Master, please lend me some money
The next morning, Gu Xifeng and Monkey did not sleep for long. They got up early to wash up. When they arrived at the Seven Kills Palace, Huang Xin was already waiting for them..
"You're here? You didn't sleep late..
"The yellow letter looks lazy..
"We know Master is waiting, so we don't dare to waste our time..
The monkey smiled obsequiously..
"Look at us so obedient, this sect contribution...""Don't even think about it, half of the contribution will be deducted by me.
Huang Xin interrupted the monkey's words and raised his chin..
"He's gone. The treasury should be open by now..
Huang Xin walked straight out of the hall, Gu West Wind and Monkey hurried to catch up..
The Galaxy Treasury was located in the Jade Balance Hall, which was extremely important in the Galaxy Sect. It was the location of the Galaxy Treasury as well as the cultivation and living quarters of the elders..
Jade Balance Hall is divided into two parts, above ground and underground. The above ground part alone is very magnificent. It is divided into seven floors and is the residence of elders..
It was said that the higher the status of the elders, the higher the floor they lived on. Considering that the elders were old, Galaxy Sect had designed a manual elevator to facilitate their travel. There were special disciples who took turns to control it. It could be said that the care was very comprehensive..
The underground of Yuheng Hall is where the Galaxy Treasury is located..
Huang Xin led Gu West Wind and Monkey into the Jade Balance Hall easily. No one stopped the guards at the door..
The interior decoration of the first floor of the Jade Balance Hall is not very luxurious, but it is simple and elegant, which makes people feel comfortable when they enter it..
There were no guards in the hall, but Gu Xifeng and Monkey sensed that there were many experts hiding their auras behind the hall. Obviously, if there were some ignorant people who dared to make trouble here, they would not face such a calm situation..
At this moment, only a few stewards were busy in the hall. When they saw the three of them enter, one of the stewards walked towards them..
When the steward approached, he obviously recognized Huang Xin and was very respectful..
"Commander, why did you come to Jade Balance Hall today?.
The manager smiled gently and bowed slightly to Huang Xin..
"I want to bring these two disciples to the treasury to exchange for something. The treasury has opened, right?.
"Huang Xin calmly spoke..
"Naturally, it's already opened. Please come this way, my lord..
The steward made a gesture of invitation to the three people, led the way in front, and walked to the right side of the hall..
At the right end of the hall was a staircase leading downwards. On the wall above the staircase, there was a large golden character called 'Library' which was very conspicuous. The steward led the three of them to the staircase and stopped walking forward. Huang Xin led the two disciples down the staircase..
The stairway was very bright. It was not an exaggeration to say that it was brightly lit. It formed a sharp contrast with the stairway leading to the Seven Kills Hall. Although it was underground, it was decorated with many patterns and totems on the walls, giving people a very comfortable feeling..
"Master, who designed that entrance just now? That library character is too ugly to write there..
The monkey observed the passage while complaining to Huang Xin..
" This vault has existed since the Galaxy Sect was first established. The name 'vault' was personally written by the founder. Why do you have any objections?" Huang Xin asked calmly..
" I don't dare, I don't dare. It's written very well. The brush moves like a dragon and snake, and the dragon and phoenix dance. I can vaguely feel the aura of the Great Dao on it. As expected of the ancestor. However, the carving there seems a little abrupt..
"The monkey's words of flattery blurted out.
"It was carved by the second generation ancestor. If you really have any objections, I don't mind sending you to see him..
"I'm not going to let you go," he said, raising his hand to the back of his head..
However, he didn't use much strength. Monkey didn't hurt when he was hit. He stuck out his tongue playfully..
"Stop talking nonsense. Let me tell you something. When you enter the treasury later, look more and talk less. If you commit any taboos, I can't be bothered to protect you..
"Also, this passageway isn't as beautiful as it looks. There are countless hidden mechanisms inside. If someone breaks in, they won't know how they died. After all, the treasury is the foundation of the sect. The security here is the most strict place in the entire sect.".
As soon as Huang Xin said this, Monkey immediately looked left and right, as if he wanted to see where the mechanism was hidden. Gu West Wind did not have any reaction and continued to walk ahead..
The passage was not particularly long, and soon the three of them reached the end. In front of them was a huge iron door. There was a plaque on the door, reading three words: Library Pavilion..
Huang Xin went forward and knocked on the knocker.
A voice came from inside the door.
"Who is this?" Huang Xin of the Seven Kills Camp asked..
After a moment of silence, the two iron doors moved to both sides, and the doors opened..
Three people walked in..
A middle-aged man in a Confucian shirt walked towards the three of them.
"Commander Huang.
The man saluted Huang Xin..
"Songnian, I want to bring these two disciples to the armory to exchange for weapons that are suitable for their hands. On the way, I will bring them to your library to have a look and broaden their knowledge..
Huang Xin laughed heartily and gently patted Gu Xifeng..
Gu Xifeng stared at the middle-aged man named Songnian with interest..
This man was thin and not handsome. He exuded a scholarly aura, and his every move carried a familiar aura to Gu Xifeng..
"Then let me introduce you to my two disciples..
"I dare not trouble you, Pavilion Lord Liu. I will show them around. I understand the rules. Pavilion Lord Liu, go and do your work.".
"Well, call me if you need anything..
Liu Songnian was no longer polite and decisively let the three people in and went to do their own things..
After Liu Songnian left, Gu Xifeng glanced at his back thoughtfully and asked Huang Xin," Grandmaster expert?" Huang Xin was a little surprised..
"West Wind, you have good eyesight. This Liu Songnian is the Pavilion Master of the Library Pavilion and a martial arts grandmaster. The Pavilion Masters of every level of the treasury are all grandmasters..
"How many Grandmasters does the Galaxy Sect have? It feels like there are crouching tigers and hidden dragons in the sect. There are countless experts.".
Monkey's eyes seemed to twinkle with stars and asked curiously..
"There are many. You guys don't have the authority to know the exact number yet. It should be more than you think. Galaxy Sect's reputation as the number one sect in the world isn't just a boast..
Huang Xin's tone was filled with pride. This was a tone Gu West Wind and Gu West Wind had never heard from Huang Xin before..
"Are there saints in that sect? How many are there?.
The monkey mysteriously approached Huang Xin and whispered..
With a thud, the monkey's head bulged.
" Don't ask questions you shouldn't ask!" Huang Xin said seriously and walked straight into the library. He ignored Monkey while Gu Xifeng covered his mouth and snickered..
When they saw Huang Xin walking away, they quickly chased after him..
"There are many books in the library, such as classics and biographies, the way of merchants, and the number of strange sects. You can pay some sect contributions to read them here or pay more to take them back to read them. Of course, you have to return them when the time comes..
"For example, cultivation technique manuals require a lot of sect contribution points. For example, the contribution points you two have obtained from recent missions can probably be exchanged for an ordinary cultivation technique. If it is a top-notch cultivation technique, it is impossible for you two to exchange it for a few years.".
"Ordinary cultivation techniques can be copied and taken away directly. It's no problem for you to pass them on to others. Therefore, this kind of mainland goods is cheaper to trade among disciples. However, if the sect's secret techniques are only observed here and memorized, they are not allowed to be passed on to others. If you violate the precept, the outcome will be very bleak.".
"If you two are interested in reading books, come and see them yourself. I don't have time to accompany you to read books.".
Huang Xin introduced them while walking, but he did not want to stop and let the two people watch carefully. He walked to the next level without stopping..
There are guards at the entrance of the second floor. There is no need to knock. The guards will open the door immediately after seeing the yellow letter..
There is also a plaque on the door of the second floor, which reads Chen Bing Pavilion..
:.
After entering Chen Bing Pavilion, the scene inside is more shocking than that in the Library Pavilion. Countless weapons shine with various colors, attracting people's attention..
All kinds of shapes, long weapons and short blades, are dazzling. It is not something that can be summarized by eighteen weapons..
Gu Xifeng and Monkey were here for the first time. Seeing such a scene, their eyes lit up and they looked around. They were very happy to see it..
There was a counter beside the door of Chen Bing Pavilion. Inside the counter, an old man lay on a rattan chair with his eyes closed as if he was sleeping..
"A visitor has arrived. Soldier A and Soldier B are here to receive him..
The old man did not open his eyes as he spoke, and immediately two young men in black clothes ran over..
"Pavilion Master Ma, even if I won the bet last time, I haven't spoken to you for half a year. Why are you still holding a grudge?.
"Huang Xin smiled bitterly and said.
"Humph!.
The old man snorted coldly, turned his head, and still ignored Huang Xin..
"Didn't I win you a pot of good Yunyu tea? I'll return you a pot of Qianqiu wine, alright?.
"Huang Xin has a helpless expression..
The old man sat up, his eyes shining. He seemed to think for a while, then his expression turned cold. He snorted coldly and lay down..
"Bring me some wine and I'll talk to you later.".
The old man said as he secretly opened his eyes and looked at Huang Xin..
"I'll get it for you when I get back, okay?".
"Huang Xin frowned helplessly..
"There's nothing I can do about you, old geezer..
"See Huang Xin eat deflated appearance, Gu West Wind and Monkey are laughing beside him.".
"If you don't have wine, don't bother me. Soldier A and Soldier B, just entertain me.".
The old man completely closed his eyes and no longer spoke. Huang Xin's face was black..
"Remember, this is Chen Bing Pavilion Master Ma Guanshan. He is an extremely strange old man. Remember not to provoke him in the future..
"The two of you are talking about the West Wind..
Ma Guanshan still closed his eyes and ignored him..
"Alright, you win, just ignore it. I'll get you some wine when I get back. Soldier A, help me check the sect contributions of my two disciples Gu Xifeng and Xiao Houzai. Soldier B, we need to exchange for a few daggers and short blades. Bring me the manual..
The two young men heard Huang Xin's words and immediately ran into Chen Bing Pavilion..
Huang Xinhe and the other two young men turned to Gu Xifeng and the other two after they finished their explanation..
"In the future, if you want to check your sect contribution points, you just need to come to the treasury. Whether it's mission rewards, experience rewards, or military pay, they'll all be collected here. Once you're back, you'll be back. I won't have time to bring you here in the future..
"Gu Xifeng and Monkey nodded obediently..
After a while, two young men returned..
The young man named Bing Jia took out a thick book that looked like a ledger and flipped through it. Soon, he seemed to have found something. He pointed at the book and read,"Gu Xifeng, the sect contributed 1,326 points.".
Xiao Houzai, the sect contributed 1,261 points. Huang Xin nodded lightly and said,"It's about the same as my rough calculation.".
At this time, the young man named Soldier B also returned, holding a book in his hand, but it looked much more exquisite than Soldier A..
"Commander, this is the manual for daggers and short blades. Please take a look..
The soldier said respectfully..
Huang Xin did not stand on ceremony either. He took the manual and flipped through it. Gu West Wind and Monkey quickly went forward..
Stinger, dagger, blade length 5 inches, forged from refined iron, fair sharpness but poor hardness, sect contribution 500 points required.
Xia Yin, double daggers, blade length 4 inches 8 minutes, forged from black iron, hardness is fair but sharpness is insufficient, requires 800 sect contribution points.
Snowflake, short blade, blade length 6 inches 2 minutes, forged from cold iron, sharpness and hardness are fair, contains cold air, can instantly freeze wounds, blood does not stain blade, requires sect contribution 2,300 points.
Red Wave, double short blades, blade length 5 inches 8 minutes, forged from Crimson Copper, red in color, excellent in sharpness and hardness, infusing internal energy to activate scorching aura to burn enemies, requires 4,900 sect contribution points.
... Yi Shui, Setting Sun, Double Daggers, Blade Length 5 inches 2 minutes, Both forged from mysterious metal, Sharp and hard, Yi Shui exudes cold air, Setting Sun contains blazing power, Both used at the same time, Need Sect Contribution 28,000 points.
Battle Stop, double daggers, blade length 5 feet 6 minutes, forged from foreign metal, crafted by the forging master Feng Yu 300 years ago, extremely sharp, able to cut through iron like mud, incomparably sturdy, undamaged for hundreds of years, requires 38,000 sect contribution points.
"Master, this is too expensive. We can't exchange this little contribution for any good weapons..
The monkey drooled while watching, but after watching it, he said with a sad face..
"That's true. It's only a thousand contribution points. If you lose half of it, you won't be able to exchange it for any good weapons..
"I think it's a good idea..
"Master, stop joking. If you continue to deduct us, we'll go back directly..
"The monkey is crying..
"Nice try..
"Huang Xin snorted coldly..
" Yes, what are you thinking about? We have to give Master what we owe him. How about this? We'll give Master all our contributions this month!" Gu Xifeng said with a righteous expression..
Monkey heard this and was immediately dumbfounded.
"Ah? You gave it to us..
Huang Xin stared suspiciously at Gu West Wind, trying to see what medicine he was selling from his face..
"Master, we've both been so filial to Master. If there's anything we need, Master will definitely not refuse, right?.
"Gu Xifeng smiled and went to Huang Xin's side..
"What is it? Tell me.
"Huang Xin raised his eyebrows and had a bad feeling..
"Master, lend us some money. No, lend us some contribution points. Otherwise, we wouldn't have come for nothing..
"Gu Xifeng's smile gradually flattered.
The monkey's eyes lit up when he heard this.
Huang Xin frowned and said,"How much do you borrow?".
"Not much, not much. About 30,000 per person..
"Gu Xifeng revealed a harmless smile..
" What the hell?" Huang Xin's eyes widened. He obviously did not expect Gu Xifeng to be so arrogant..
"Master, since it's us, we'll do it in one step. In the future, we'll definitely work hard to complete the mission and return the money, no, the contribution to Master..
"Gu Xifeng solemnly promised.
Monkey also gathered around Huang Xin.
"Master, you only have us as your disciples. Please lend us some. It's not like you won't pay us back. Please, Master..
The monkey pleaded, and the ambiguous voice made Huang Xin have goosebumps..
After a long time of begging and bargaining, finally Monkey took Yi Shui and Canyang in his hand, Gu West Wind took a pair of stops and left the treasury happily..
The final bargaining result is that they not only have to repay the borrowed contribution, but also give Huang Xin the previous contribution and all the contributions for the next three months as interest..
This condition also gave Huang Xin a headache when he paid the bill. Huang Xin's depressed expression made Gu West Wind and Gu West Wind even happier..
However, when they left the treasury, Gu West Wind and Monkey did not see a subtle smile on Huang Xin's face..
