Oh my god, this is a bolt from the blue! A true heiress of metaphysics!

Chapter 259 The Precursor of the Holy Maiden Cult

They are just ordinary people, and when it comes to gambling on stones, they can only rely on experience.

But metaphysical masters are different. Jade contains spiritual energy, and they can sense it. Therefore, gambling on jade is equivalent to opening one's third eye.

Of course, it's unfair to them.

After waving goodbye to the group, Lu Feng explained to Shi Xiaxia, "Besides gambling on stones, there is also the buying and selling of antiques here. Generally speaking, most people here are ordinary people."

"So that's how it is." Shi Xiaxia was truly astonished.

Surprisingly, the people here have all become close friends with the metaphysical master.

What exactly is the person who provided this place trying to do? Is it merely to cover up their practice of collecting wandering spirits using gourds?

As Shi Xiaxia continued walking inside, she saw many more people.

Without exception, all of these people were ordinary people.

Occasionally, you can see a few people with spiritual energy, all of whom are holding gourds and seem to be doing the same thing as Lu Feng.

Lu Feng led Shi Xiaxia for a long time before arriving at a small house in the villa.

"Young friend, please wait outside for a moment. I'll go hand over the mission first." Lu Feng waved his hand with his back to Shi Xiaxia, then opened the door and went inside.

Shi Xiaxia stood at the door, trying to hear what was being said inside, but there seemed to be some kind of restriction on the door, and not a sound could be heard from inside the room.

Lu Feng was inside for about five or six minutes before he opened the door and came out.

He said to Shi Xiaxia, "The Four Protectors are inside. Go in. I've already told you about your situation."

The Four Guardians...

Shi Xiaxia's eyes darkened.

"Alright, thank you for the introduction, Master Lu. I will definitely repay Master Lu when I have time." Shi Xiaxia cupped her hands in thanks to Lu Feng.

"No problem, no problem!" Master Lu simply waved his hand and strode away from the villa.

After leaving the villa, Lu Feng took out the magical artifact he had just exchanged and smiled.

That's great! Introducing a metaphysician has resulted in such a wonderful magical artifact. It's a really good deal. It seems I need to get to know more metaphysician masters!

Lu Feng tossed aside the magic weapon he had just acquired, put it into his robes, and strode away with his head held high.

......

After watching Lu Feng leave, Shi Xiaxia turned her gaze to the half-open door in front of her.

After hesitating for a few seconds, Shi Xiaxia stepped forward and knocked twice. After receiving a response, she pushed open the door.

Upon opening the door, one is greeted by a screen painted with landscape paintings.

The landscape screen is magnificent and clearly the work of a master.

Shi Xiaxia walked around the screen and entered the room.

"It's the 11th, right?" A gentle voice came from the side.

"right,"

Shi Xiaxia withdrew her gaze, turned around following the voice, and then bowed her head and cupped her hands: "It's me."

"Lu Feng told me you wanted some magical artifacts,"

The woman sitting at the table stood up and strolled over to Shi Xiaxia, looking her up and down: "I wonder what kind of magical artifact Little Friend Eleven desires?"

Shi Xiaxia raised her eyes and looked at the woman in front of her, dressed in a cheongsam and exuding elegance, a hint of amazement flashing in her eyes.

These four guardians are truly beautiful!

However, the spiritual energy emanating from her was very faint, like that of a newly initiated disciple.

Shi Xiaxia knew this was not the time to investigate, so she quickly composed herself.

Her gaze swept quickly across the room, and when she saw the flags, she immediately replied earnestly, "My skills are not very proficient; I only know some small-scale magic arrays, so I would like a set of array flags."

"You know how to set up formations?" The Fourth Protector's voice carried a hint of surprise.

Shi Xiaxia paused for a moment before humbly replying, "I only know four or five kinds."

After joining the department, Shi Xiaxia also learned about the development of metaphysics in this world.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call this the end of the Dharma era; talismans, formations, and alchemy have almost all disappeared.

Therefore, when Xiaxia said she knew how to form formations, she was also taking a gamble to see if she could use this ability to get in touch with the higher-ups of the Holy Maiden Cult.

"What can they do?" the Fourth Protector asked again.

“Spirit Gathering Array, Yin Gathering Array, Trapping and Killing Array…” Shi Xiaxia named five or six arrays.

"Really?!" The four guardians' voices were visibly filled with shock.

"Yes,"

Shi Xiaxia smiled and touched her hair, then added, "But I'm not very skilled, so I might fail."

"That's already very good!"

The four protectors were very pleased: "We would naturally welcome a capable person like you, Eleventh Young Friend. However..."

The Fourth Protector paused for a moment before continuing, "Young friend Eleven should be able to see that my cultivation is not high. If I were not good at management, I would not be able to sit in this position of Fourth Protector."

Therefore, if my young friend Eleven wishes to exchange for a higher-level custom-made magical artifact, I will need to contact the Dharma Master; I cannot make this decision alone.

Shi Xiaxia hesitated for a long time before speaking, "Forgive my ignorance, but I still don't know what kind of organization you are."

The four guardians were taken aback for a moment, then said, "Didn't Lu Feng tell you?"

"No." Shi Xiaxia shook her head.

"It was my oversight."

The four guardians chuckled, then tapped on a chair, inviting Shi Xiaxia to sit down.

Shi Xiaxia sat down, and the four protectors poured her another cup of tea.

The four guardians sat casually in their chairs, smiling as they said, "Our Holy Maiden Sect is known to almost everyone here. I thought you, young friend, had already heard of it."

"I just finished my apprenticeship not long ago. I've been cultivating on the mountain all this time and have never heard anything from down here," Shi Xiaxia answered honestly.

"So that's it."

The four protectors nodded, and then told Shi Xiaxia about the origin of the Holy Maiden Sect: "Actually, the Holy Maiden Sect has only been established for about one or two decades. Our sect leader is a young man who is said to be a successor of the Quanzhen School."

The Quanzhen School once had a holy maiden who single-handedly stopped the enemy's invasion and preserved the Quanzhen School.

Now, only the leader of the Quanzhen Sect remains. Later, the leader accidentally discovered the tomb of the Holy Maiden and learned of her deeds. In order to commemorate the Holy Maiden, he directly renamed the sect the Holy Maiden Sect.

Subsequently, in order to expand the reputation of the Holy Maiden Cult, the leader recruited many skilled weapon refiners and assigned them small tasks. After completing the tasks, they could come to me to exchange for magical artifacts.
