Chapter 6, Changing the Robe and Chain.
As the name suggests, the Six-Pouch Chain can only accommodate six packages. Although the packages cannot be too large and accessing them is not as convenient as with a genuine storage bracelet, it is sufficient for storing clothing, talismans, ropes, writing materials, and food and water, making it much easier than carrying a large package.
Thank you for your kind offer, but I will decline
Regardless of their decline, the royal family remains the royal family. Otherwise, how could they afford to engage in weapon forging and talisman crafting? This requires a substantial investment. Moreover, it is said that this Senior Brother Cheng has very poor weapon forging skills, and his position in the Artifact Pavilion is entirely the result of an immense accumulation of resources.
Disciple, I ask for nothing else but a package chain crafted by your own hands. I must set off for the White Sea Market tomorrow, and I will not see my senior brother for two or three years, unable to hear your teachings nearby. This is my only request, and I hope you will grant it.
Ah? Li Hui opened his mouth wide, truly not expecting such an unexpected delight
Good! Since my junior brother is about to embark on a journey, it is only fitting for me, as his senior, to present him with a bracelet. Cheng Zihuan has undergone years of tempering, and that princely arrogance has long since vanished without a trace; what remains is only the nostalgia that surfaces in the midnight dreams.
Seeing that Cheng Zihuan did not pay attention, Li Hui hurriedly opened the package
Senior brother, this is the only item.
If it were not for this, Li Hui would not dare to approach such a person. It should be noted that a few years ago he was transporting corpses on the battlefield. If it were not for his sister-in-law and second brother gritting their teeth and exhausting all their resources to send him to the Yufu Sect, how would he have had the opportunity to speak with the royal family, even if it is just a once-prominent member of the royal family
Cheng Zihuan was deeply engrossed in refining tools, and he had no shortage of wrapped chains at hand. He nodded and put away Li Hui's "knocking brick," casually taking out a rough bracelet made of six connected black stones.
Thank you, Senior Brother. You have treated me too well. I will immediately arrange a banquet for you to enjoy. Li Hui felt very grateful. Since he had decided to leave the Yufu Sect, he was less driven by ulterior motives and received more than he expected from Cheng Zihuan. He sincerely wanted to express his gratitude to the other party
This is already very good! Li Hui sincerely admired it, flipping through the six-pocket chain back and forth
As he saw the light and shadow about to depart, Cheng Zihuan took a deep breath, and a hint of nostalgia appeared in his gaze
Disciple, strictly speaking, the storage space for the storage ring is limited and cannot accommodate magical artifacts, so it cannot be considered a magical artifact; it is merely a small tool that adds a bit of convenience
Cheng Zihuan has held a high position for many years, and he possesses a certain degree of discernment; he is quite adept at judging people.
Li Hui chose this fallen prince because he happened to overhear him talking in his sleep. A dignified cultivator is unable to maintain his composure, even dreaming of recalling the majesty of the imperial court. Surely, he would not refuse a dragon robe
"Are you only asking for a single chain?" Cheng Zihuan looked at Li Hui and asked
As soon as the words fell, Li Hui gently rubbed his sleeve, and the robe he wore immediately became loose, radiating light and shadow outward, exuding a hint of brilliance
The building stands thirty zhang tall, divided into sixteen stories, resplendent with gold and jade, featuring flying eaves and bracket sets, and even the large pillars outside the door are crafted from agarwood
Consider this: having fallen from power to such an extent, the person on the dragon throne can no longer afford to engage in such trivial tests, and moreover, this ceremonial robe does not exceed the established regulations
Undeniably, this ceremonial robe worn by Li Hui is extremely fitting, and it subtly exudes an air of authority; sometimes, the feeling of attraction arises in the unintentional moments of presentation and loss
Once, he wore this attire as he pleased, but now it has become a memory
Until Li Hui's figure completely disappeared, Brother Zheng and the others did not leap forward to intercept.
Originally, this was the first piece of a series of clothing, and subsequently, Cheng Zihuan will be developed into a regular client, with a strong emphasis on guiding towards the luxury direction
Senior Brother Cheng! Li Hui was filled with joy, for this Senior Brother Cheng was indeed a rare and valuable patron. The two encountered each other at the entrance.
He noticed that Li Hui's gaze was clear, indicating that there should be no ulterior motive in approaching him deliberately. That set of dragon robes was likely intended to cater to his preferences, a sincere effort to befriend a disciple of the refining arts. Securing a six-loop chain, just look at how delighted this child is.
That is fine, however, one cannot bite the hand that feeds them. Since you are about to embark on a journey, I happen to have a spot available here, ensuring that you can enter the Artifact Pavilion to select a low-tier spiritual pattern artifact
As a human, one must uphold the integrity befitting a human being; no matter how splendid the attire, it cannot leave even the slightest trace in the heart, as it is merely for the purpose of opening up sales channels
Outer Gate, Hall of Ritual Implements
Liudou Chain
Senior brother harbors lofty aspirations, while I, as a mere junior, can only look up in admiration! However, here is a genuine dragon robe, and I hope senior brother can keep some fond memories of it, so that when you return to the court to visit family, it can also showcase your dignity. Li Hui spoke sincerely, and at this moment, the light and shadow on his body dissipated, leaving only a simple blue robe, with even the golden crown on his head quietly crumbling away. It turns out that the arrow-sleeved dragon robe he wore was merely a semblance of its form.
Oh? Cheng Zihuan saw a corner of a garment peeking out from the package, and his heart trembled slightly
Guanlongfu
Is the dragon throne so easy to sit on? The princes of the Great Long Dynasty fought for the throne, causing chaos in the world. Just when it was difficult to restore peace and stability, several natural disasters struck, along with man-made calamities. After losing power, this prince became disheartened and could only find solace in refining tools and crafting talismans. Unexpectedly, after many years, he could still see such an authentic dragon robe.
Hehe
"Junior Brother Li." Cheng Zihuan nodded slightly. The two had met once before, and when he saw Li Hui's clothing, a look of displeasure appeared on his face
"Not bad, just asking for a chain for convenience when going out to walk." Li Hui nodded seriously
It should still be profitable, but compared to the original plan, it falls significantly short
The issue is that the bold individual has already sensed the scent of danger, wanting to leave the sect in haste to seek refuge. As for what kind of situation the sect will become after the war, it would be best if all these people were to perish.
You are indeed a noble of our Great Long Dynasty, and had it not been for your obsession with refining tools and crafting talismans, you would have likely already taken your place on the Dragon Throne of the current Emperor.
Li Hui smiled and said to the person: "After all, a royal family is a royal family; one should pay attention to attire. Do you think my outfit today is acceptable? Rest assured, this is not an authentic dragon robe, just a python robe; how could I dare to overstep? It's merely a decorative pattern, and it can only be worn once; it will soon fade away."
Cheng Zihuan smiled faintly, momentarily setting aside his reminiscence of the past. Seeing Li Hui's infatuated expression as he took the bracelet, he felt a sense of comfort.
Cheng Zihuan had experienced numerous power struggles; what storms had he not witnessed? He immediately waved his hand in refusal, regardless of what Li Hui wanted to obtain from him, his hard-earned state of mind must not be disturbed
Who among the outer disciples would dare to use the name of the Grand Elder of the sect as a shield? Moreover, speaking of the intricate details of karmic ties, if this were to spread, it would be a capital offense. The outer disciples present, judging by their own standards, felt that it was impossible for anyone to be so audacious.
Alas! Let the past disperse with the wind!" Cheng Zihuan sighed in lamentation
Li Hui was pleasantly surprised; he originally thought that exchanging for a three-pocket chain would yield a small profit, but unexpectedly, this senior brother Cheng Zihuan provided a threefold return
He originally had high hopes and wanted to cling to the connection with Cheng Zihuan at all costs. However, plans changed, so he decided to treat it as a one-time transaction, using the royal dragon robe to obtain the wrapped bracelet.
