True disciples have a natural status advantage, and Wei Ran quickly became the leader in the team.
Moreover, for the outer disciples, the true disciples are as respected and respected as the elders.
Uh... This is of course normal times. If Wei Ran makes such a fuss in the sect, the reputation of the true disciples has already been ruined.
However, these disciples who have been away from home all year round do not have a deep understanding of the rumors and rumors within the sect.
At this moment, Wen Wan, Wei Ran, Li Chao and Wu Huo were sitting in the carriage, with Li Chao controlling the carriage.
The other four disciples each drove several other loaded carriages.
The convoy was driving on a bumpy mountain road.
Li Chao said while driving the carriage: "Your sect often collects many spiritual herbs and elixirs, as well as refined elixirs, as well as some animal elixirs, animal meat, animal skins or mined materials obtained from hunting monsters. Ore, or refined weapons and equipment, etc., if the sect is self-sufficient, some will be transported to surrounding towns for sale."
But most of his attention is always on the quiet mountains and forests around him. This is his experience and habit of going out for caravans all year round.
Wei Ran said: "Looking at how much cargo you have loaded, you must be able to make a lot of money on this trip."
Li Chao said with a smile: "You must make money, there is no reason to not make money in business, but Brother Wei, don't worry, the sect will never treat us badly. If these trucks of goods are sold at a good price, it will exceed The predetermined earned price will take out the excess money and distribute it to us proportionally.”
Wei Ran nodded and said, "Then this is a great job."
Li Chao sighed: "You have to be strong to work in the United States. Senior brother may not know that even if we are transporting goods under the banner of the sect, those crazy bandits will still attack us and die at the hands of those bandits. There are countless fellow disciples here, so our kind of work also requires excellent strength, otherwise we will die in vain if we go out, so it is better to practice in the sect."
Wei Ran said: "That's right."
Li Chao said: "However, our errands and income are really not worth mentioning in the eyes of Senior Brother Wei. I think the monthly salary of a true disciple should be more than ten times that of ours."
The resources that true disciples can obtain are beyond the imagination of ordinary disciples. Within the system of Shangyang Xuanming Sect, true disciples enjoy the supply of thousands of ordinary disciples. They only need to cultivate and don't have to worry about cultivation resources at all. .
But the powerful strength gained needs to protect those disciples with low cultivation level.
For ordinary disciples, it is actually an insurance policy.
Not enough, Xiaozhulin Cave Heaven is quite special. Although it is one of the five major caves in the sect, Wei Ran’s annual salary was given to Wei Ran in the early days. Later, Wei Ran repeatedly violated the sect rules. In addition, Xiaozhulin Cave Heaven’s Dongtian The Lord no longer suppressed him and Ziyu Zhenren, and later Xiaozhulin Dongtian's salary was reduced again and again, and finally it was canceled altogether.
Even Wen Wan's cultivation resources such as elixirs, spiritual herbs, etc. these months were given to Wei Ran by the sect leader himself using his own private money.
Wei Ran smiled bitterly and said, "Haha...that's...that's right."
income? Salary? Brother, does he have any income? Isn't it always a waste of time?
Wen Wan tilted her head and looked at Wei Ran and then at Li Chao in confusion.
Wei Ran quickly changed the subject and asked: "Your sect running the caravan should be equipped with enough combat power. On weekdays, there should be relatively few tasks to assist you in transporting the caravan. Why did I see this on the task board today? Have you obtained several mission cards to assist you?"
Hearing this, Li Chao sighed and said: "In fact, there was no need to send additional manpower in the past. The combat power was fully sufficient to deal with those bandits. For some reason, in the past month, the commercial transportation line from Zongmen to Huxia Town has always been out of order. The problem is, the frequency of bandits is several steps higher than before, but they are also extremely powerful."
Li Chao paused for a moment when he found this, then lowered his voice and said to Wei Ran: "As far as I know, three outer disciples and one inner disciple have died on this commercial route."
Hearing these words, Wen Wan was immediately startled, and a trace of cold sweat escaped from her back.
Wei Ran glanced at Wen Wan's reaction and remained silent.
Li Chao continued: "There are rumors that those bandits have actually learned an immortal spell, which is extremely powerful. Even if you cut off their arms with a sword, they won't even feel a trace of pain. Even among these bandits, There are also beings that cannot be killed.”
Wei Ran raised his eyebrows, the world is so big, there are all kinds of wonders, and the spells are even more bizarre. Only the unimaginable, nothing is impossible.
After all, human beings' research ability in this aspect of cultivation is something that other ethnic groups can only admire.
So Wei Ran was not surprised when he heard this, but more interested.
He really wanted to see how evil this painless and immortal spell was.
After all, at Wei Ran's level, there aren't many things in this world that interest him anymore.
Li Chao sighed: "Do you think it's strange or not? It's a headache for our fellow disciples to encounter such a guy who doesn't care about life and pain but can't kill him. In the end, the sect's losses on this trade road were not small, so that's why It is necessary to send additional manpower."
Then Wei Ran chatted with Li Chao and Wu Huo for some insignificant gossip.
From Wu Huo, he learned that Feiliu Chamber of Commerce was actually a well-known chamber of commerce in Xihuang Huzhou. From his description, Feiliu Chamber of Commerce had branches in all well-known big cities in Xihuang Huzhou.
Xihuang Huzhou is a large area northwest of Cangwu Fairy Mountain.
Ziwu Mountain is just a small mountain range within Xihuang Huzhou.
Time soon passed noon, and no one had any intention of stopping. Based on Li Chao's judgment, this area was vulnerable to attacks and ambushes, so they had to leave as soon as possible.
Everyone just ate some dry food on the carriage.
In the afternoon, when people are most exhausted.
Wei Ran had already tilted his head and fell on Wen Wan's lap pillow, closed his eyes and dozed off.
Seeing that her senior brother was so at ease, Wen Wan lowered her guard and started practicing silently with her eyes closed.
Immortal cultivators are very energetic, every afternoon, especially in the spring, but the sleepiness of spring and autumn are clearly reflected in Wei Ran.
But Li Chao didn't dare to be negligent in the slightest. When he looked around, his eyes suddenly froze. He tightened the reins of his horse with one hand and took out the darts from his storage bag with the other hand.
Hidden weapons, poisons, etc. are all must-have items for anyone who travels around the world.
Just listen to a crisp sound of metal collision in the quiet air.
"stop!"
"alert!"
Hearing Li Chao's voice, everyone suddenly jumped up and became alert.
Wei Ran was so frightened that he opened his eyes, sat up, and asked dissatisfied: "Oh my God! I don't want anyone to sleep anymore, what's going on!"
By the way, Wei Ran is still a little angry.
Li Chao had a gloomy face and said to the empty valley: "Who are you? Can you tell me who you are?"
Wei Ran asked in a low voice: "Is there someone? Is it a robber? Someone is coming to rob the goods?"
Li Chao replied in a low voice: "Senior Brother Wei, I'm afraid we are not very lucky and the person who came here is not evil."
Li Chao didn't finish his words.
Just listen to a heroic voice coming from the valley.
"I built this mountain and planted this tree. If you want to go this way, leave the money to buy the road!"
Then he saw a strong man carrying a machete appearing on a raised rock not far away.
Li Chao encountered this situation not once or twice. He quickly calmed down, took out his identity card, and negotiated first. If the negotiation failed, he would take action.
So he showed his identity jade badge and said: "I am Li Chao, a disciple of Xuanming Sect in Shangyang. This batch of goods is specially sent by the sect. Friends on the road, can you make it easier for me?"
The strong man looked down at Wei Ran and said coldly: "Shangyang Xuanmingzong? What a big statement. My brothers have worked hard to squat for so long. You want my brothers to return empty-handed?"
Normally, as long as the identity of Shangyang Xuanmingzong is revealed, friends in the underworld will basically give him some face, but now the situation has become very complicated. Li Chao also knows that it is difficult to reveal his identity, but it doesn't hurt to give it a try.
Li Chao said with a cold face: "Then we can't reach an agreement?"
The strong man in the bandit waved the machete in his hand and said with a ferocious smile: "Talk? I'm sorry, you unfortunately met our beheading gang. We not only want to buy road money, but also like to collect heads, your heads."
Wei Ran asked in a low voice: "The Beheading Gang? What a weird name."
Li Chao said: "I heard that there is a powerful bandit force that has arisen nearby recently called the Beheading Gang. They have injured many of our fellow disciples. Their number is unknown and their strength is unknown. It seems that they can only attack by force. Got it!"
The strong man of the bandit waved his hand and said: "Brothers, show off! Eat the big fat goose!"
