After returning to the small courtyard, Shi Jiu took out various formation materials sent by Fengbaozhai today.
"As expected of Fengbaozhai, the quality is unparalleled." Shi Jiu opened a jade box and revealed the Nether Core inside.
This is a water attribute nether core that has reached the third level. It has a light blue expression with a large number of small protrusions. Even without turning on his spiritual consciousness, Shi Jiu can feel the pure energy inside it, and what follows is There is also a viciousness, which means that this viciousness has no influence on Shi Jiu.
Because Shi Jiu often takes the initiative to exercise his willpower, coupled with the baptism of the coercion of the heavenly calamity not long ago, even if the Nether Core has reached the sixth level, its vicious will cannot affect him.
After closing the lid of the box, Shi Jiu put all the formation materials into the storage ring, and only put a small amount of extremely valuable materials into the Sumeru space.
After doing all this, Shi Jiu nodded with satisfaction.
"It seems that I have to be a guard again." Shi Jiu thought of Jin Yuner's previous proposal.
In fact, he had already agreed in his heart at that time. Just to be reserved, he deliberately told Jin Yuner that he would reply to her tomorrow.
Because I have previous escort experience, and each time the outcome was good. The first time she agreed to be Jin Yuner's escort was on a small island in the Gulan Sea. After a series of thrilling actions, she accidentally received the soul-pregnancy gold. The second time she escorted Jin Yuner to the auction of Lingshu Essence in Tonglin City. At the end of the meeting, they unexpectedly exchanged Lingshu's heart again. The third time was after the auction ended, escorting Jin Yuner back to Lanming City again, and then witnessed the chief helmsman of the Shuntian Escort Agency going through the heavenly tribulation halfway, and under Jin Yuner's I suggested going to the ruins of Blackwater City, and then accidentally obtained the bandit leader's storage ring and the treasure in it. Although it was thrilling every time, they managed to escape in the end and received full goods.
"I wonder what kind of dangers we will encounter during this escort trip... and what are the gains?" Shi Jiu subconsciously thought of what was going to happen next, and couldn't help but get a little excited.
In addition, the place we are going to this time is in Tianyou County, where Shi Jiu is no stranger.
After all, the initial place he came to the underworld was in Tianyou County, and he later met the Da Red Sword Emperor there. To be honest, Shi Jiu's current achievements were inseparable from the Da Red Sword Emperor. Although the two did not get along for a long time, But the other person is like a teacher who pours out all he has learned.
Although there is no name of master and disciple, there is the reality of master and disciple.
Thinking of this, Shi Jiu said with some nostalgia: "Senior Sword Emperor, he should be sleeping now, right? And Brother Li from Tahou Village, how are they doing?"
On the morning of the second day, Shi Jiu arrived at the small pavilion in the lake early.
Half an hour later, Jin Yuner came slowly with her personal maid,
"You came quite early. What have you been thinking about?" Jin Yuner asked with a smile as she walked.
"Well, I decided to go with your Fengbaozhai team. I haven't been to Tianyou County either, so I just wanted to take this opportunity to visit." Shi Jiu nodded in agreement.
"Since you agreed, is it okay to leave the day after tomorrow?" Jin Yuner then asked.
"No problem, we can just leave today."
"Haha, there's no need to be in such a hurry. Our people are still preparing and will set off the day after tomorrow." Jin Yuner said.
"Okay, everything is up to you."
"There is nothing to do these two days. You can rest in Fengbaozhai or go shopping on the street. Nowadays, the Shuntian Escort Bureau and Fire Fist Sect in Lanming City basically stay at home. You don't have to worry about being recognized. Come out." Jin Yuner said with a smile.
After hearing Jin Yan'er's words, Shi Jiu was a little confused: "Why is this? Could it be that the alliance between the Ghost Fire Sect also affected this place?"
"Well, that is indeed the case." Jin Yan'er nodded, "Now that the Ghost Fire Sect and Hunyuan Palace have formed an alliance, this has also led to the two factions, Jueshi Palace and Tonglin Palace, forming an alliance with each other. The two sides have begun to attract various forces. It is estimated that these days The two Japanese alliances should send people to Lanming City."
"What is the attitude of Shuntian Escort Bureau, Fire Fist Sect and Shuitian Pavilion? Will they be attracted by those two parties?" Shi Jiu asked.
"How should I answer your question? I'm not from any of the three families!" Jin Yan'er rolled her eyes at Shi Jiu, pretending to be angry.
"Sorry, I was rude. I hope Miss Yan'er won't take offense. I'm just curious." Although he knew that Jin Yuner was pretending, Shi Jiu still apologized sincerely.
"Forget it, considering your good attitude of admitting your mistakes, let me tell you my opinion." Seeing Shi Jiu's apology, Jin Yuner burst into laughter.
"The first is Shuntian Escort Bureau. Now Dong Tianling has successfully entered the soul realm, but they have blocked the news. They must not want outsiders to know. So they are probably unwilling to get involved in the fight between the two parties. They should remain neutral. The two parties Not to join; the second is the Fire Fist Sect, the Fire Fist Sect is secretly going through the tribulation, and will not make any promises to the two parties before that, and will definitely wait until the Fire Fist Sect leader returns before making a decision; finally, the Shuitian Pavilion , Well, this sect is hard to say, it’s the kind of people who join if there is any benefit. I guess if one party offers a high increase and meets their appetite, they will join." After the laughter, Jin Yuner said seriously.
"Wait a minute, did you just say that the Fire Fist Sect secretly escaped the tribulation? Did they also successfully bid for a copy of the Essence of Spirit Saliva?" Shi Jiu heard the key words from Jin Yuner's analysis just now and asked quickly.
"I knew you would ask." Jin Yaner chuckled softly, "It is true that the tribulation is transcended, but the Fire Fist Sect does not have the Essence of Lingshu, but they secretly obtained a Shura Crystal. In addition, the Fire Fist Sect's leader paid a high price a few years ago. Obtaining a high-level elixir has undoubtedly increased the opponent's confidence, and maybe the leader of the Fire Fist Sect is now undergoing a tribulation."
"Crystal of Shura? Did the Fire Fist Sect go there again after I left the Yuanye Ancient Pit?" Shi Jiu murmured to himself.
"Why are you dazed? Are you listening to me?" Jin Yuner was somewhat dissatisfied with Shi Jiu's dull expression.
"I'm sorry, I've been thinking about the Fire Fist Sect leader's tribulation. For a moment..." After coming back to his senses, Shi Jiu apologized to Jin Yuner again.
"Forget it, I will forgive you this time, but there will be no next time."
"Yes, there will never be a next time." Shi Jiu quickly assured.
But he had another thought in his mind: If you can't offend a woman, you can coax her as much as you can!
"By the way, are there others?" Jin Yuner asked.
"Gone."
"Okay, then you can do it yourself. I have to take one step beforehand." Then, Jin Yuner stood up and left.
Shi Jiu didn't stay any longer, and later returned to his small courtyard.
In the afternoon, Shi Jiu left Fengbaozhai to wander around Lanming City. He deliberately walked out of the back door of Fengbaozhai to attract attention.
Sure enough, the three factions of the Shuntian Escort Agency have restrained themselves a lot. Although the streets are still very lively with people coming and going, there is no trace of the disciples of the three factions.
For this reason, Shi Jiu deliberately passed by the gate of Fire Fist Sect's headquarters in Lanming City.
Shi Jiu would never have done this before, because he had received information from Jin Yuner before that the Fire Fist Sect and Shuitian Pavilion might have found out that he had robbed their Yu Xinzhu.
But now, the opponent's door is closed, and there is not even a gatekeeper. This is completely different from the arrogance of the Fire Fist Sect before.
"I don't know if the leader of the Fire Fist Sect can survive the catastrophe. I really hope he can be struck to death by the catastrophe!" When he thought of the time he was punched into the large crack in the ground by the opponent in Moluo Cave, Shi Jiu's There is anger in my heart, but the opponent's strength is too much greater than my own, so I can't seek revenge from him.
"But revenge must be avenged. I will take it out on your son in the Secret Realm of Lost Dreams." After making up his mind, Shi Jiu glanced behind the Fire Fist Gate without leaving a trace and left slowly.
After that, Shi Jiu also went to the Shuitian Pavilion main hall. The situation was similar, except that there were a few disciples coming in and out.
"It looks like Shuitian Pavilion is going to take sides, but I don't know which side it will join?" Shi Jiu said thoughtfully.
Finally, there is Suncheon Escort Agency.
Their door is still open, with many people coming in and out, and some are still carrying boxes. Obviously, their main business continues as usual. The influence of those two parties on the Shuntian Escort Bureau is not great, but the disciples have kept a low profile.
After leaving Shuntian Escort Agency, Shi Jiu went to a restaurant to drink.
"Have you heard? The Ghost Fire Sect will send people to Lanming City in the near future. It seems that they want the three major sects to discuss an alliance." Someone at the next table commented.
"Of course I have heard about it. Not only the three major sects in our Lanming City, but also the other major sects in other nearby counties, the Ghost Fire Sect will send people to discuss it." Someone agreed.
"Don't talk about the other side. Jueshi Palace and Tonglin Palace have also formed an alliance. They should also send people over in the near future to win over the three major factions here. I just don't know what the Shuntian Escort Agency, Fire Fist Sect, etc. will choose now. Which side?" someone else said.
"I don't think it will be easy for either party to join. It will definitely annoy the other party, and they may be secretly stumbled. It would be better for both parties not to join." At this time, someone else expressed an opinion.
"Hmph! Neither side joins? Do you think this will protect you wisely? Impossible! You must know that the two sides are usually arrogant, and there is more than one strong person in the soul realm. If you choose neutrality, both sides will definitely be killed. If you get angry, then the trouble will begin." Someone retorted.
"Okay, what's the point of fighting here? Haven't you seen it? In Lanming City now, those three families are much more low-key, especially the Fire Fist Sect. In the past, their family was the most arrogant and domineering, but now their disciples are all Don’t leave the house, the door is closed.”
"Yes, that's true. Why is that?"
"It's not that I don't want to take sides too early to avoid getting into trouble. I don't think those three companies will respond to the two parties quickly, and it may take a lot of time. After all, taking sides too soon will definitely attract the hatred and hatred of the other party. Strike.”
"That makes sense."
…
"The analysis is quite logical, but I don't know what will happen in the end." After hearing the discussion at the table, Shi Jiu secretly praised.
Regarding the wooing between the Ghost Fire Sect and the Peerless Palace, Shi Jiu and others agreed with Jin Yuner's view, and most likely there would be no clear results in the near future, and the final stance should be postponed for a while.
After that, Shi Jiu returned to Fengbaozhai, then took out Chang Lin's Xinde and started reading. Although the alliance between the Ghost Fire Sect and others has been aroused, it has little to do with Shi Jiu. Now he is more like a deaf ear to what is happening outside the window, focusing only on the writings of sages.
The next day, Shi Jiu still stayed in Fengbaozhai, reading books, practicing the techniques he had learned, etc. At this moment, a team appeared in Lanming City. Everyone in the team was thin, with sunken eye sockets. It was extremely scarlet, like a will-o'-the-wisp in the dark night.
This is the team of the Ghost Fire Sect, led by an old man, and the direction they are heading towards is the location of the Shuntian Escort Bureau, which is also the first stop of their trip.
