"By the way, Qingyun, it's so late... You asked me to come here just to inquire about the Pan family? Don't tell me that you plan to find trouble for the Pan family!"
"I just asked if you were busy, and I didn't ask you to come~"
The young master felt evil in his heart, but he said:
"Master Zhu, I want to verify with you whether the Pan family is proficient in formations and whether they can set up teleportation formations."
"Oh? What are you doing? Do you want to avoid the Pan family's eyes and ears and return to Kyushu?"
"No, I'm sorry that I can't tell you the specific reason for the time being. In fact, I want to ask the Pan family for a small, portable teleportation array."
Upon hearing this, Zhu Xianning's brows furrowed into an inverted figure, and he hesitated to speak:
"Asking the Pan family? Isn't this... appropriate? They can..."
"I heard that this kind of small teleportation array is more difficult to refine than the large one. Instead of going out to buy it, it's better to go to the Pan family quickly."
As for Qingyun's purpose or difficulties, Zhu Xianning instead of asking further questions, he frowned and nodded.
"Indeed, the formation is exactly the same as alchemy. The more concise it is, the more difficult it is, but it is not appropriate for you to go alone!"
After pondering for a moment, Zhu Xianning said again:
"You and the Pan family are in the same situation, what can you give in exchange for them? If not, why not..."
"You don't have to worry about that. I have my own way of dealing with them. It's just a matter of safety...hehe~"
Qingyun smiled, a little embarrassed to speak.
Luo Yunjian is still weak and cannot fully use the ability to break through space.
Even if he had, he felt that he would not be able to escape under the eyes of the powerful master of the Returning Spirit Realm, but Zhu Xianning nodded without hesitation.
"I'll go with you. No matter whether the bloody massacre of Wanli was done by the Pan family or not, after being beaten by the Immortal Sword Sect, they have kept a much lower profile now and don't dare to do anything to us."
Pursing his lips, he asked again:
"When are you going to go?"
"Of course the sooner the better."
"Okay, I'll go back and make some preparations today. You can go directly to Yuquan City tomorrow morning. We'll meet outside the city."
"No problem, Qingyun would like to thank Master Zhu!"
For Zhu Xianning's generous help without asking any questions, not to mention tears of gratitude, at least Qingyun's heart was quite warm.
Unconditional trust is the most valuable thing, not to mention that this trip may be risky.
"Oh, you're welcome, Qingyun, you're too polite~"
Holding fists together again and again, the young master respectfully sent Zhu Xianning out of the Jiangyundong dormitory.
After returning to the room, Yao Mengxun smiled meaningfully:
"Xiao Yun'er, look at his appearance just now. This is not your teacher. He is obviously your junior. I feel that he is in awe of you!"
The little fox also chuckled when he heard this, and held Qingyun's arm sweetly:
"Alchemy Master Zhu is much more reliable than Mr. Fei. The old man comes and goes without a trace all day long, but his apprentice is always at your call. When we meet our opponents in the future, we can call this Master Jade Pot here directly. Let's see who it is." How dare you be so arrogant, huh~"
Gently pinching Alian's nose, Qingyun noticed Long Fushi's frown and couldn't help asking:
"What's wrong with poetry? What are you worried about?"
"What else can you worry about? I'm thinking that no matter how confident you are, if the person who comes forward is Pan Yueren, a powerful person in the spirit-returning realm, Master Zhu may not be able to protect you!"
"Why don't I go with you, Xiao Yun'er? I have a demon birth order, and we are not afraid of the Ninth Level of the Returned Spirit Realm."
Qingyun shook his head and said:
"The Demonic Life Order is only useful to you alone. Besides, the more people who go there, the more people will worry about you. It doesn't matter. Besides, I feel that Pan Yueren will definitely trade with me."
"What if the Pan family doesn't have a small teleportation array?"
Alian asked.
"Made, then even if they change, they still have to conjure one for me."
The young master hugged the little fox fiercely, making Yao Mengxun curl his lips in confusion.
"Xiaoyun'er~Civilization~"
That night, everyone was quite restrained and did not get tired or lingering. Even Long Fushi, who often studied alchemy with Qingyun at night, went back to the house early to rest.
Now that there was Long Ranmo, it would be a bit crowded for four girls to live in the same house, so she simply moved out of the original house and lived with Ranmo.
Anyway, Long Fushi spent most of her time in the medicine field in Wangjiacun. She was used to staying up late so she didn't disturb Alian and Yao Mengxun's rest.
Similarly, Qingyun did not study or refine alchemy. Instead, he meditated for a whole night, adjusting all his energy and spirit to the peak state to cope with the battle he might face tomorrow.
Early the next morning, Long Fushi and Long Ranmo brought a steaming breakfast together. After getting along for a while, Long Ranmo was not as full of resistance and hostility towards Qingyun as he was before.
But after becoming the core disciple of the Long family, she has always maintained her humility and respect for Long Fushi, and has never been willing to change her title of young lady. Now she regards serving Qingyun as her own mission.
Of course, the young man who came from a poor family never liked being served by others. Even when Long Fushi cooked for him, he would always say thank you.
Even low-level monks like the second brother in the inn and wine shop would give him a reward almost every time he met him, let alone Long Ranmo.
Needless to say, Long Fushi gave this little girl the name "Dianmo" which is quite appropriate. Not only is she beautiful in appearance, but her movements are as elegant as ink. She has to be the third daughter of Long Qingcheng. Divide the charm.
Mo Kan is a maid, it would be an understatement to say that she is a lady.
In order to prevent unnecessary complications, after the two girls got up, Qingyun gave special instructions, telling them that not even Yao Pofeng could reveal anything about his visit to Pan's house.
"You guys should do whatever you want. Don't worry about me. It's not like I won't be able to come back."
Qingyun smiled before leaving.
"You said the same thing last time, but it took three or four years for you to leave."
Alian had a sad face, and the wind chimes around her neck jingled as she kept shaking Qingyun's arms.
"Oh, I was careless last time. Master Zhu is with me this time, so it won't get in the way."
"Alright Sister Lian, don't waste Qingyun's time, otherwise Master Zhu will have to wait for a long time."
Long Fushi had a slender figure and looked very thin standing next to Alian, but she exuded the aura of a big sister, which made the little fox feel at ease instantly.
"You really don't need me to accompany you?"
"If you can't get Mengxun, you have to have faith in me~"
"Of course you have confidence, but you don't say what terms you want to negotiate with the Pan family."
"Hehe, the mountain man has his own clever plan~"
Qingyun smiled mysteriously, then waved to the three girls and left the dormitory early.
"By the way, write poems. Remember to tell Yingwu and Chang'an that you won't go to class today~"
"good."
After a few years of entry, this was Qingyun's first time going to the jurisdiction of Yuquan Cave. Even before using the teleportation array, he spent a lot of time looking for the location of Yuquan City on the light screen.
What surprised him even more was that, unlike Jiangyun Cave, Yuquan Cave was very vast in area. Judging only from the light screen map, it was at least as big as ten Jiangyun Cave.
And Yuquan Cave is not just a city like Yuquan City.
It is estimated that there are about twenty cities within the jurisdiction. Based on this calculation, if it is placed in the outside world, Zhijing Dongtian's sphere of influence can indeed serve as the face of a first-class sect.
Later, Qingyun also learned from Zhu Xianning that, similar to Kyushu, these cities were almost all controlled by various prominent families. Pan Jiaming had complete control over at least five cities within the jurisdiction of Yuquan Cave.
This is also the reason why Yuquan Cave is called the foundation of Zhijing Cave. Although the other two caves also have attached cities, they are completely insignificant compared to Yuquan Cave.
It is worth noting that Zhijing Cave Heaven does not allow all disciples, including the natives of the sect, and their jade tokens to freely travel to other towns in Yuquan Cave except the main city. This is absolutely impossible in the other three caves.
Just like Wangjia Village near Jiangyun City, there is a teleportation array leading to the dormitory area in the village.
In Yuquan Cave, no matter which city or family you go to, there is a very strict identity registration in the local area. From this point, it can be seen that Zhijing Cave Heaven still values and protects their "foundation".
From the dormitory area to Jiangyun City, and then borrowing the road from Jiangyun City, it took Qingyun half a while to teleport from city to city to Yuquan City.
By the time he saw the familiar figure, the sun was not far from three poles above the sun.
"Master Zhu, please wait... Huh? Senior Mu?!"
Unexpectedly, Zhu Xianning actually invited Fei Lao, the strongest of the three shadow guards, Coirui Sword and Mu Dongting!
"Haha, Qingyun has such a good memory. The last time we met was nine years ago, right?"
"Hahaha…"
The young master laughed endlessly.
Nine years have passed, and Mu Dongting's appearance has not changed at all. With his broad body and square face, he looks like a standard senior figure.
With broad shoulders and long arms, he still carried the "giant sword" like a door panel behind him. It seemed that Mr. Fei had found a way to repair it.
But Qingyun has always been curious, why is this tall and powerful man nicknamed "Coir raincoat sword"? Could it be that you used to like to wear a raincoat when fighting against others?
Regarding the arrival of Mu Dongting, Zhu Xianning explained with a smile:
"Master went to Qingyu Dan Pond alone, and the three uncles stayed outside. Uncle Mu happened to be at the door, so I invited him to come with me. With him here, even if Pan Yueren came forward in person, he would not dare to How about you!"
"Qingyun...Thank you Master Zhu, thank you Senior Mu!"
The gratitude in my heart is beyond words.
It was impossible for him to see through Mu Dongting's cultivation level, but he felt that he should be stronger than Mo Shuiyao. At least it would be no problem to hold Pan Yueren down. With him as a bodyguard, the safety factor of this trip would be greatly increased.
"You're welcome. I heard from Xian Ning that you want to go to Pan's house and ask for a small teleportation array?"
"Yes."
"Well, you have found the right person. There must be someone in the Pan family, but do you have equivalent conditions that can be exchanged with him? After all, there is Pan Long before him, and there is..."
Mu Dongting is obviously also very aware of the grudge between the young master and the Pan family.
"Senior Mu, don't worry, Qingyun has his own way, and every code is a code. I think the Pan family won't reject me. At worst, I'll just find a way."
"Okay, let's go."
"Um."
Mu Dongting also did not ask Qingyun what he wanted to do with the teleportation array, nor did he ask what the bargaining chip in his hand was. The three of them looked at each other and then went straight into the city.
Ding Ding~: Have you guessed how Qingyun is going to bargain with Pan Yueren~
