Jiemen City
Zhan Changfeng walked into an inn, and Wu Xiao immediately stood up to greet him.
"All spent?"
"The flowers are gone." Wu Xiao nervously and confidently presented a dozen jade slips, "I bought these and asked the clan leader to see them."
Zhan Chang Weathershou put them away and said, "Let's take a boat first. The nearest one is coming soon."
"Yes." Wu Xiao suddenly felt the sour feeling of having a knife hanging on his head, and followed the boat with a bitter look.
And Zhan Changfeng will use facts to prove that certain things may not give him a result.
After she boarded the boat, the waiter came up and asked, "Where are you going, are you staying in a single room or in a courtyard room?"
"The valley has no boundaries, a first-class courtyard room."
"Wait a minute." There were red and green dots on the map in the waiter's hand. The red dots were still growing at an extremely fast speed. She quickly pressed towards a green dot, but before she touched it, it turned red. , she said regretfully, "I'm sorry, guest, the rooms on this ship are for sale immediately. There have been too many monks rushing to Laohuang recently. The general bunks, single rooms, first-grade courtyard rooms, and third-grade courtyard rooms are all occupied, and the second-grade courtyard rooms are all occupied." There is still room in the courtyard.”
"Two rooms in a second-grade courtyard room."
This time I grabbed it. The waiter smiled and held out his hand, "Please follow me."
A first-class courtyard room is equivalent to an exclusive courtyard building, including a master bedroom, guest bedroom, clean room, hall, and courtyard. A second-class courtyard room is slightly worse, with multiple people living in one courtyard.
There were many monks coming and going in the long corridor. They followed the waiter for a while and stopped in front of a vermilion carved door with a plaque with the words "Red Leaf Residence" hanging on it.
The entrance is the atrium, with flowers blooming in brilliant purples and reds. There are two-story buildings on the east and west sides and in the front, connected by verandas.
The waiter asked respectfully, "Are you satisfied?"
"This is it." It's just the right place to raise a fox.
"Okay, Hongye Residence has six rooms on the three floors, east, west, north and west. You two come first, you can choose any two rooms to stay in. Morning and evening meals will be specially provided by the ship. You won't take any money. You can summon me at any time if you need it." If you have strong financial resources, you can summon me at any time. , otherwise you have a distinguished status and cannot be neglected.
The waiter Yin Yin finished his explanation and exited Hongye Residence. As soon as he closed the door, he was carried to the corner by a big hand...
Zhan Changfeng chose a south-facing room to stay in. The room was divided into inside and outside, and the inner room was equipped with a special isolation formation to facilitate cultivators' practice.
She made some arrangements again, and took out Wu Xiao's jade slips in her spare time. The contents on these jade slips were all kinds of news about the world of Ming and Kun that she had learned during this period, and they were also marked according to their importance. different levels.
In the process of inquiring about the news, some money will inevitably be spent. Zhan Changfeng gave him one hundred thousand spirit stones just to see how much value he could get with limited time and money in an unfamiliar middle world. news.
He took down the jade slips one by one and sorted out the overall geographical distribution and power structure of the Ming and Kun realms. Later, he also recorded the relationships between the characters in the power structure, old and new deeds, and some recent important events.
It can be seen from this that he has a sorting system for classifying information and capturing key points, and he also specially marked several people with potential influence beyond the Ming and Kun circles, which shows that from the perspective of an outsider who is just passing by, he Be able to discern what messages are meaningful to them.
Zhan Changfeng was quite satisfied with this.
When the ship started again, there were four more people in Hongye Curie. She didn't pay much attention until she found someone squatting in front of the door...
"A sneeze. A sneeze!" Shen Tufei sniffed at the damn floral fragrance.
The flowers in Hongyeju are the most prosperous. They bloom all over the yard and the fragrance is fragrant. There are also flower branches climbing on the pillars and golden tiles. Shentu didn't realize that this place didn't suit his strong temperament, so he had no choice but to live here.
"Sneeze!!" He sneezed again, shaking himself. He turned to look at the door behind him, and his heart was filled with panic. Who is this person? There was even a living person standing in front of the door. Don't even come out to take a look.
There was no movement in her place, but the doors to other rooms were opened. When Shen Tufei turned around, he saw a man on the west floor looking down. He had a crown and tied his hair, with a blue cloud pattern on his forehead. His sword eyebrows were flying at an angle, he was handsome and steady. Especially those pair of cold starry eyes. Anyone who looked at each other seemed to be feeling something heavy in their hearts, fearing that some of their unknown secrets would be revealed.
Shen Tufei looked grim, "Zhao Changge, why are you here!"
"The road is facing the sky." Zhao Changge glanced at the scar on his face, raised the corners of his mouth, and slammed the window shut.
Shen Tufei was so angry that he screamed, this guy named Zhao is really not a good guy, he will kill him sooner or later!
He didn't want to be disgraced in front of this person, so he stopped guarding the door and waited for the person to come out, and slapped the door with the momentum of demanding a debt, "Come out! Come out if you can! Ah sneeze~!" "
When Shen Tufei straightened up and rubbed his nose again, the door in front of him opened, and a white fox jumped out and ran straight to the flower-filled atrium. He looked up and said with great joy, "Okay, you are finally willing to come out!"
"You're blocking my way to sneak a fox."
"What can you do to me?" Shen Tufei said in an aggressive tone, thinking that he would try to get something over today. When he saw Zhan Changfeng raising his hand holding an ancient book, he didn't think so. She could still beat him.
She didn't hit him, but the ancient book lightly patted him on the shoulder, causing him to stagger and clear the way.
Shen Tufei touched his numb and sore shoulder and his eyes widened, "Okay, you are quite strong!"
He followed Zhan Changfeng to the stone table in the atrium and sat down. Before he could speak, he sneezed again. When he raised his eyes, no one was sitting across from him. Looking around, he saw her standing on a neon orchid covered with purple flowers. under the tree.
"..." Shen Tufei stood up and wanted to discuss the issue of Ice Breath Beads with her, but she heard her say coldly, "Fellow Taoist, just sit there and talk."
Shen Tufei later realized that he was being despised, and said angrily that even though he was well-dressed, there was nothing good about him.
"If you want me to sit here, let's talk about the Ice Breath Bead, otherwise I will go over and spray you to death."
"Fellow Daoist is seriously ill, so he should cure his hay fever."
"Bah, the great Taoist Supreme Master with supernatural power will suffer from the diseases of ordinary people!"
"That's wrong. The true king's body is not immune to all diseases, not to mention that this flower is not an ordinary flower."
"Go, go, don't take me into the ditch. I'm going to ask you a question today, how can you hand over the Ice Breath Bead? I got the Ice Breath Bead and left immediately, regardless of whether I spent it or not. Sick or not.”
Zhan Changfeng thought for a while, "It's not impossible to change it, but with it, it will be much easier for me to mine Tongyuan Stone. What can you use to make up for my loss?"
Shen Tufei was a rough and tumble person and did not respond immediately. Ercai said, "You don't seem to be a monk in the Ming and Kun realms. Do you have to travel frequently by starship in order to mine this mine?"
"Ha, if you take a few more trips, the shipping fee will be able to catch up with the profit from the Tongyuan Stone." He smiled and said, "I advise fellow Taoist to quote a price and simply sell this bead. Don't lose more than you gain!"
Zhan Changfeng chanted, "Neither reality nor fiction. Neither true nor false. It is both empty and real. Fellow Taoist, do you think this thing should be empty and real?"
Shen Tufei twitched the corner of his mouth, feeling troubled.
It turns out that there is a semi-public reason why the Heaven Realm Taoist Platform attracts powerful men from all over the world, that is, the Universal Spiritual Emperor wants to recruit disciples!
There is a difference between a disciple and a disciple.
There is a master-disciple inheritance relationship between a disciple and his master. What matters is that one day is a teacher and a life is a father.
The relationship between students and teachers is academic or professional teaching support, and one student can have multiple teachers.
But this is not the key. The key is that the Universal Spiritual Emperor wants to accept disciples!
All parties are speculating whether he has begun to train the next leader of the Tiandao Alliance.
Regardless of whether they are casual cultivators, those who are backed by big clans, big sects, or even the Holy Land, they all want to rush forward and fight for it.
The Universal Spiritual Emperor requires monks who come to study to bring out three things: "neither real nor imaginary; neither true nor false; both empty and real."
Zhan Changfeng saw this news from Wu Xiao's jade slip, and he spent most of his spiritual stones to find out about it.
The Ice Breath Bead is born from the vacuum and can travel to and from the void. If you insist on saying so, it is enough to be both empty and real.
When Zhan Changfeng pointed out this point, Shen Tufei felt a chill in his heart. It was hard to get the Ice Breath Pearl back!
It's a pity that he only lacks this one thing!
Zhan Changfeng changed the subject and said, "It's not impossible for me to give it to you, but as you said, I am an outsider, and it is really troublesome to go to Mingkun Realm to mine every time."
"If you want to change, you have to agree to one condition of mine. Within seven hundred and twenty years, every time your Shentu clan mines the Tongyuan Mine, you have to share 40% of it with me."
The Tongyuan Mine cannot be so large that anyone can mine it all the time. All the mining forces in the Ming and Kun realms agree to mine it every sixty years. Those who mine secretly will be regarded as thieves and will be attacked in groups.
Seven hundred and twenty is twelve times, 40% each time.
Shen Tufei didn't care about mining, and he didn't know what damage this condition would cause to the clan, so he didn't dare to agree.
"You have a big appetite." He said with a tigerish face, letting her understand what he meant.
"If you can't do it, then you still have an option to pay nothing."
"What?"
"Let the Shentu tribe admit that I can mine in the Yunhai Plain."
Shen Tufei looked at the white-robed monk leisurely watching the flowers, and his head ached. His Shentu clan was extremely powerful in the Ming and Kun worlds. Once it recognized it, other forces would not dare to act rashly, so it gave her a pass in the Ming and Kun worlds in disguise.
But if one more party mines Tongyuan Stone, other parties will suffer losses, and the Shentu clan is no exception.
How could he agree on behalf of the clan? This person must have deliberately persuaded him to quit.
"Just wait for me and let me think about it."
"I'm not in a hurry, you can do whatever you want." Zhan Changfeng read a book in the atrium for a while, then returned indoors with the little fox who had had enough of the flowers.
Shen Tufei wandered into the evening, and the space in Hongyeju was lit up with lights on time.
He sneezed countless times, but couldn't think of any way to deal with it. Finally, he gritted his teeth and went to the west building with a shy face.
Knock knock~
As soon as the door crack opened, he squeezed in like a gangster, looked around and said, "Bookworm, you have a nice place here, look at this painting, look at this table, look at this vase, tsk tsk."
"Speak directly if you have anything to say." Zhao Changge didn't want to pay attention to him, so he closed his eyes and meditated, feeling the cold air whizzing all over his body.
"I'm going to ask you a question." Shen Tufei squeezed his way to his seat, "I'm sure you can't answer it. Do you want to challenge me?"
Zhao Changge slapped his hand away, "I don't want to."
"No, at least we have been fighting since childhood. Even though you are old-fashioned and boring, and you are a bit black-hearted, I still don't dislike you at all." Shen Tufei cleared his throat, "That's it, I have a friend , he found a Ice Breath Grass, unfortunately..."
He told the story from the perspective of "a friend of mine" and finally asked, "Which condition is more cost-effective?"
Zhao Changge: I’m afraid this person is not a fool.
"What's that look in your eyes? Be careful if Taoist digs out your eyeballs and drinks it!" Shen Tufei thought that he had something to ask for, so he suddenly changed his mind and said, "Even drinking wine can't eliminate the hatred in Taoist's heart. I just like it." Just stay on your face peacefully and let it endure this dirty world."
Zhao Changge was so disgusted by him that he took two steps away from the bed and asked expressionlessly, "What is her name?"
"Ah?" Shen Tufei shook his head.
"Then where is she from?"
"...I don't know, it seems to have something to do with Huang Du Ge."
"It seems?" Zhao Changge smiled, as bright as the blue sky and white sun, "It's hard for you to survive until now."
"What's wrong? Is it bothering you?" Shen Tufei said angrily, "Stop showing off, just say what you have to say, my friend can't wait any longer."
Zhao Changge sneered with his hands behind his back, and did not try to expose him. He only said, "It is necessary to be on guard against others. It's really okay for you to negotiate terms with her without even knowing her purpose and origin."
"not me!"
"Okay, tell your friend who is as stupid as a pig to find out her origins first. She brought up matters such as mining the source stone when she first came up. Either she deliberately mined the ice breath in order to get in touch with your Shentu tribe. Pearl, to attract your attention."
"Either she is a deep-seated person in the city who casually grabs profits." Zhao Changge took a few steps and said, "Just tell her that you can't make decisions for the Shentu clan. You can only trade with her in a private name. See if she changes. Change."
Shen Tufei tilted his ears, "How about changing it? What about not changing it?"
"If she offers actual property in exchange, you should consider the exchange. If she offers to do a favor or owe a favor or other non-material conditions, you have to be more cautious, because often, non-material things are more valuable than real things. Bigger.”
"So troublesome?" Shen Tufei frowned and asked, "What if she doesn't change?"
"Not changing?" Zhao Changge tilted his head and thought.
"Yes, what if she was just unhappy and changed?" Shen Tufei said, "I think this person is not easy to define, a bit casual. When we were in the Yunhai Plain, she disappeared without saying a word. I finally chased her. When we come here, luckily the boat is bound for Laohuang, so it won’t waste any time.”
"By the way, your cousin seems to know her. He is crying and wanting to entertain her."
"Chun Chao?" Zhao Changge was surprised, "Why did he invite her?"
"How do I know?" Shen Tufei clicked his tongue, "Ask yourself. It sounds like your cousin is sick and needs medical treatment."
"Um?"
Zhao Changge sent a message to summon Zhao Chunchao. This time he returned to Mingkun Realm. It was the clan leader who asked him to take the outstanding disciples of the clan to the Taoist Association to test his skills.
Among them, Zhao Chunchao and a genius disciple lived with him in Hongye Residence.
Zhao Chunchao came up quickly. When he saw Shen Tufei, he thought of Shen Tufei's loud sneezes and the closed door, and he had a bad feeling in his heart.
"Cousin, what do you want from me?" Zhao Chunchao smiled very boyishly and brightly.
"I heard that you are sick?" Zhao Changge waved to him, "Come here, let me take a look."
"No, no, no, it's nothing." Zhao Chunchao waved his hands repeatedly, how could he cause the matter to happen under his nose.
Zhao Changge was extremely perceptive and noticed his resistance and fear in an instant. He thought he was being coerced. He reached out and grabbed him in front of him, and his powerful consciousness swept him from beginning to end.
Zhao Chunchao couldn't even stand on his legs! It's over!
