In the early morning, Jiang Yan came to Baihe Hall. Before anyone came, he took out the breakfast he bought on the road and started eating.
He came so early to wait for Yin Zhong.
After returning from Lieyun City yesterday, Jiang Yan originally wanted to find the person in charge of the White Crane Hall directly and ask when he would get the promised reward:
A fire-attribute talisman realm cultivation method.
Unfortunately, the handsome middle-aged man was not there. The disciples who were responsible for staying behind told him that Yin Zhong had basically not stopped at Baihe Hall recently, but was planning some action.
Thinking of the Battle of Black Wind Desert, Jiang Yan could easily guess that Yin Zhong was handling the follow-up of this matter.
At the same time, those who stayed behind also said:
Yin Zhong is still thinking about this matter and has not forgotten it. He has notified him in advance that if Jiang Yan himself comes to look for him or asks about this matter, he must inform him in time and ask Jiang Yan to wait in the Baihe Hall early the next morning.
When the time comes, he will come.
Just as Jiang Yan's thoughts were diverging, the door of Baihe Hall suddenly opened, and a figure strode in covered with golden light.
Yin Zhong's nose twitched and he easily noticed the smell of food in the room:
"Is it Zhang Ji's scallion pancake?"
He looked at Jiang Yan with a smile, walked over, found a chair and sat down, and asked in an affirmative tone.
"I just bought it by looking for the flavor on the roadside." Jiang Yan responded simply.
"It can't be wrong." Yin Zhong looked away and sighed:
“This is the food that impressed me the most when I first opened Nanyan City.
"Haha, at that time, Zhang Ji's current shopkeeper was still a little kid. He only cried and asked his father to buy candied haws..."
Jiang Yan smiled and listened silently to the other party's story. He did not respond and just adjusted his sitting posture.
After a while, Yin Zhong came back to his senses and smiled awkwardly at Jiang Yan:
"Sorry, it's been a long time since I smelled this smell. Feeling it again reminds me of many past events."
"Those things are not boring, they sound very interesting." Jiang Yan commented seriously.
"Hahaha." Hearing Jiang Yan's response, Yin Zhong laughed happily.
After a while, he stopped laughing, his expression softened slightly, and he started to talk about the topic:
"I have reported your matter to Hall Master Xie Yan earlier. After she understood what happened, she agreed to your request and decided to give you the Talisman Realm cultivation method."
Before Jiang Yan could react, Yin Zhong said quickly:
“But not now.
"To be precise, I won't give it to you today."
Jiang Yan frowned slightly when he heard this, then calmed down immediately, and asked without any fluctuation in his voice:
"Because?"
Now that the hall master of White Crane Hall has nodded and decided to give him the Fu Realm cultivation method, I really can't think of any other reasons that can hinder him.
As far as he knew, that Hall Master Xie Yan was a warrior in the Pattern Realm, the absolute top executive of the White Crane Chamber of Commerce, and the real decision-maker.
Noticing that the mood of the young man opposite him did not fluctuate much, Yin Zhong was satisfied and his tone could not help but be gentle.
He explained:
"Compared with the previous martial arts realm, the Talisman Realm level is a realm that has undergone fundamental changes, which is reflected in various aspects such as combat power, lifespan, and the nature of life.
“Therefore, the Chamber of Commerce’s Talisman Realm techniques are also very precious and are completely controlled by the guild leader.
"Ahem...that...that guy is very stingy. Even if it is the resources that should be given or the things that should be awarded, he is reluctant to part with them. He always puts them off habitually.
"so……"
After a pause, he continued:
"You have to wait a little longer. If Hall Master Xie urges you more, the guild master will be willing to let go... Anyway, don't worry. Although the guild master is stingy and always likes to procrastinate, he will give everything, and there will be no less."
At the end, Yin Zhong used a tone of assurance to give Jiang Yan confidence.
It turned out to be like this... Jiang Yan breathed a sigh of relief, but he couldn't help but complain in his heart... Rumor has it that the leader is a very stingy and stingy person. Today he finally saw it. He saved the lives of many people in Qingmu Hall. This guy.
In an instant, he lost a lot of respect for the guild leader, the half-step master, whom he had yet to meet, and felt that he was more like an ordinary person.
While his thoughts were swirling, Jiang Yan suddenly remembered something, turned his gaze to Yin Zhong, and asked for advice:
"Master, I heard that no matter which force, disciples who want to practice their own high-level skills will exert control. There are very few exceptions, but the method and degree of control are different.
"So, what control does the Chamber of Commerce have over this? That?"
If he wasn't distracted by the Fu Realm skills he was about to get... he could still think of these things... Yin Zhong nodded slightly, looked at Jiang Yan for a few breaths, and then separated.
His voice deepened unconsciously:
“That’s exactly what I continue to say to you.
"You will get something if you put in the effort. In order to ensure that the disciples trained by your own power do not betray, it is necessary to exercise certain control. It is necessary for the power that masters high-level skills to do.
"Of course, no matter how harsh the control is, it will not be to the extent of controlling life, death, and will. Otherwise, it is not training disciples, but raising slaves."
After saying this, he further said:
“Because the Chamber of Commerce itself puts its own interests first, it only requires that the disciples being trained mostly create benefits for the Chamber of Commerce rather than for inheritance, so similar control is much simpler.
"Our chamber of commerce uses poison to control high-level disciples, a chronic poison with a latency period of ten years. That is to say, once you practice the chamber of commerce's high-level skills, you have to take that poison and serve the Baihe Chamber of Commerce for ten years. Of course, , the resources and contributions that should be given will not be small, and they will not be in vain."
Poison... Jiang Yan nodded without much surprise and immediately asked:
"What would happen if I didn't take the antidote?"
"Slow poison erodes the strength of one's own talisman, destroys the foundation of a warrior, and turns him into a useless person." Yin Zhong said slowly with a solemn expression:
"There is no big surprise. No one will choose to betray and become a useless person or an ordinary person. This is an ending that a warrior would rather die than face."
Yes, on the one hand, he is a strong man with the ability to fly, and on the other hand, he is an ordinary person who will die if he encounters any accident... After tasting the taste of power, few people are willing to betray and pay such a price... Jiang Yan sighed with emotion After a moment, he still said:
"This type of control cannot control everyone."
"That's for sure." Yin Zhong nodded, hesitated, took out a scroll from his sleeve, handed it to Jiang Yan, and said:
"This is an exception."
After taking the scroll, Jiang Yan opened it immediately without hesitation and glanced directly at:
"Fatsuit: Jiang Yunfeng.
"Identity: Deputy leader of Jinfu Hall, secretly loyal to a certain force, and has repeatedly revealed information about the Chamber of Commerce.
"Status: Seriously injured, weak and weak."
Naturally, turning over the scroll, Jiang Yan saw the portrait of "Jiang Yunfeng" as expected:
He looked to be in his fifties or sixties, with black and white hair, a short nose, and thick lips. He looked like a simple, ordinary farmer.
