There is another thing that she is not sure about, and that is the last experience of the Xuanfu Sect disciples. She had overheard a conversation among the disciples left behind on Wanjian Island. It seemed that the Xuanfu Sect had sent a large number of disciples to garrison the new mines in the name of going out for training, and the same was true for the Three Saints Sect.
Sima Linger also warned Zhou Yang in the letter not to come to Wanjian Island in the near future, and even if he came, he would not be able to see her. Because the entire Wanjian Island has been sealed off, no one is allowed to enter or leave without the permission of the sect owner or the Presbyterian Council, otherwise they will be punished for treason.
After reading the letter, Zhou Yang's face darkened.
No wonder Xuanfu Sect does not train as a unit of three people. Not only that, they also have mounts and are well equipped.
It seems that the experience is just a fool, but it is actually sending a large number of manpower to the refined copper veins, which also shows that the new veins are not trivial.
This should have two purposes. One is to confuse everyone and cover up the amazing truth of the mine wealth. The second is to prevent everyone from seeing the truth that a large number of disciples have been transferred away and the sect is empty.
hateful!
His previous guess was correct. Wan Jianmen was indeed aware of the Xuanfu Sect's disciples' training. He knew that Sima Ling'er was going to take action without stopping him, and his intentions were extremely sinister.
It seems that Ling'er can't stay in Wanjian Island for a long time. Once the situation changes, her safety will be worried.
The war is very complicated at the moment. It is not just a war between Wanjianmen and the four factions. Although the forces behind them are temporarily lurking, they are already secretly competing. They should all know who each other is, but they are restrained. At this stage, once a spark occurs, the possibility of a concentrated explosion cannot be ruled out.
By then, the newly stable balance in Anping City will be broken, and it will even affect Tu Yan City.
This matter should not be discussed during the dinner, so Zhou Yang put away the letter and continued to drink with everyone.
His experience in Cangshou Mountain for more than a month, Tiehu was okay, but Xing'er could hear Xing'er screaming repeatedly, her beauty turned pale, and she couldn't worry anymore.
In front of his uncle, Zhou Yang felt a little embarrassed and winked at Myolie Li repeatedly. But it didn't work at all, the girl kept yelling, making him roll his eyes.
Zhong Pengfei didn't care at all. It was normal for a little girl to be frightened since she had never experienced any bloody events.
Zhou Yang asked about the business of Yangtian Pavilion again, and Li Tong and his sister sighed and were silent for a while.
Originally, Yangtian Pavilion's business had always been good, with a steady supply of monster materials and profits growing steadily.
But recently, the Tong family in Tuyan City opened a new store called Zhou Tiange. This store has also begun to purchase a large amount of low- and middle-level monster materials, and the prices are very high. All the regular customers who originally belonged to Yang Tiange have turned to Zhou Tiange.
Yangtian Pavilion was a sparsely populated business, and its business plummeted. Soon, it was unable to make ends meet, and even the head fee could not be earned back.
Later, through an acquaintance, Mo Chenglong found out the reason why Zhou Tiange purchased a large amount of monster materials. It turned out to be the idea of Tong Lianxue, the eldest daughter of the Tong family.
Miss Tong had not been back to Tu Yan for a long time. As soon as she got home, she started planning to build Zhou Tian Pavilion. Until the store opened half a month ago, she purchased a large amount of monster materials.
Yangtian Pavilion's business was not doing well and it could not support many people. In addition, the order in Tuyan City returned to normal, so Mo Chenglong withdrew half of the guards and workers, and Li Tong and his sister took the initiative to apply to return to Lingtian.
"Tong Lianxue?" Zhou Yang looked gloomy and was silent.
He knew that this woman was the disciple of Hai Tianxiao, the leader of Zhou Tian Sect in Dingbei.
"Maybe she also discovered that there are a lot of monster materials in Tu Yan City, and the price in Dingbei is high, so she opened a store to buy them?" Zhou Yang thought to himself.
He always thought that Tongzhou Trading Company was the biggest competitor, but who would have thought that Zhou Tiange would show up halfway.
"Wait a minute, why did she use the sect's name as the name of her shop? Could it be that she had other plans?"
Under normal circumstances, no sect would allow this, but Zhou Tianzong acquiesced. It was by no means as simple as just opening a shop. Similarly, Tong Lianxue's return to Tu Yancheng after the beast tide probably wasn't just for visiting relatives.
Zhou Yang's divergent and logical thinking began to work again, drawing inferences from one instance to see the essence through appearances, etc. These were habits he had slowly developed over the past few years.
Zhong Pengfei also knew the Tong family very well, but he knew very little about Tong Lianxue. All I know is that she was sent to Dingbei City when she was very young and rarely came back during that time.
The Tong family was originally a large family second only to the Zi Yuan Sect, but it suffered heavy losses and its strength was greatly reduced by the beast tide. However, since the eldest lady came back, the Tong family has shown signs of rising again.
When Zhou Yang heard this, he had roughly determined what he was thinking. There was definitely a trace of Zhou Tianzong in it!
However, you can't take care of other people's affairs, so you shouldn't worry too much about it. You should think more about your own Yangtian Pavilion.
Zhong Pengfei rested in Lingtian for three days. Tiehu played with wine and food in various ways. Uncle Zhong, who was already fasting, was aroused. In the past few days, he had not refused anyone who came, serving wine and meat every meal.
Two more days passed before Zhong Pengfei returned to Tu Yancheng.
Before he left, he warned Zhou Yang not to return to Tu Yan before he could disguise himself.
Zhou Yang could only smile bitterly. He wanted to change his appearance, but the clean-faced old man had long since disappeared. Could it be that he would never return to Tu Yan for the rest of his life?
Tiehu gave him advice and asked him to go find Liu Menglong, maybe he could find a way to disguise himself.
Early the next morning, Zhou Yang entered Anping City.
When Liu Menglong saw Zhou Yang, he was inexplicably horrified. After only two months of absence, he actually broke through again, and twice in a row!
This guy is so evil. I don’t know what magic method he used, but he managed to achieve breakthroughs in a short period of time. Is this justified? However, this was someone's secret, so he couldn't ask more questions, and he wouldn't get an answer if he asked.
Zhou Yang talked to Liu Menglong about the disguise. Liu Menglong thought about it and pointed out two points. To this extent, there is no other person in Anping City who can find the skills of the old man who cleans his face. Just like before, don't even think about it. The second is how long the disguise lasts.
According to Liu Menglong, the simplest form of disguise is to put on makeup, add some wrinkles, put on a beard, etc. In this case, as long as it is not washed with water, it can last for a long time, but the effect is also the worst.
The better thing is to use disguise potion, which can change the appearance of the cultivator, but it is only a change of muscles. The bones and shape cannot be changed. Of course, the breath cannot be changed, but it is better than makeup.
If you just use medicine, the maintenance time will be very short, maybe only a few days or less. Liu Menglong can't tell how long exactly.
None of these methods were very effective. Zhou Yang was not very satisfied, but he couldn't think of a better way. He could only entrust Liu Menglong to buy some disguise potions for him, and specifically told him to keep them for as long as possible.
After bidding farewell to Liu Menglong, Zhou Yang rented a quiet room with a fire and started refining alchemy again.
Three days later, looking at six bottles full of pills, Zhou Yang showed a tired smile on his face.
After another two hours of meditating and recovery, Zhou Yang left the inn and found Liu Menglong again.
At this time, he had prepared the disguise potion.
"Brother, this kind of medicine is for external use. Just apply it on the face, and the shape will change. However, the body shape and general outline cannot be changed, and it only lasts for fifteen hours, which is a little more than a day. After ten It will return to its original appearance in five hours.”
"Only more than a day!" It was said before that it would last for a few days, but now it only lasts for just over a day, which disappointed Zhou Yang.
"Brother, this disguise potion is difficult to find, and the effect is not satisfactory, so cultivators rarely use it on weekdays. I can only find these potions by asking a deacon from the trading company for help."
"Oh, that's it. Thank you so much, brother." What else could Zhou Yang say, that was all he could say.
Just take it one day at a time. If you arrive at Tu Yan and hide in Yangtian Pavilion, you will not be easily exposed.
At noon, he set up a table in Wanshun Building and entertained Liu Menglong and Liang Sanli. The three of them ate while discussing Yangtian Pavilion's business.
Now Yangtian Pavilion is barely surviving, and can only be described as half-dead. There is no solution if this continues, sooner or later it will have to close down.
Liu, Liang and Mo Chenglong had discussed it for a long time before, but could not come up with a better way. The three of them gathered together today and discussed for nearly two hours, but they were still at a loss.
In terms of strength, it is not as good as Tongzhou Commercial Bank, in terms of power, it is not as powerful as the Tong family, and it has lost the strong support of Ziyuan Sect. No matter from any aspect, Yangtian Pavilion is in trouble.
And Zhou Tiange is here to focus on the main business of Yangtian Pavilion. Now Yangtian Pavilion has no advantages at all and can only operate in the same miserable manner as other small shops.
Nowadays, the situation in Tuyan City is stabilizing. Free Square City and the store area have opened and are booming. Store prices have been soaring, and rents have also followed suit.
Fortunately, Zhou Yang had the foresight to buy Yangtian Pavilion at a low price through his uncle after doing several businesses with Ziyuan Sect. Otherwise, they would not be able to pay the huge rent.
At this point, Liu and Liang, who have been immersed in the business world for many years, also admire Zhou Yang's vision. Whether they can make a profit or not is another matter. If Yangtian Pavilion's shop is sold, it can make at least three or four times. .
Liang Sanli really had this idea, and his words conveyed the intention of changing hands to Yangtian Pavilion, which made Zhou Yang feel unhappy.
He finally built Yangtian Pavilion and fought with his life to save it during the turmoil. You Liang Sanli spent so much effort. Seeing that the situation was not going well, he ran back to Anping City to enjoy peace and happiness. At this time, because of business difficulties, It is really unreasonable to sell Yangtian Pavilion!
Seeing Zhou Yang's bad expression, Liu Menglong hurriedly stopped Liang Sanli, said a few words of haha, and continued to discuss the next step.
Although Liang Sanli was not talking about selling the store, he was not enthusiastic about the future business either, so he started to hum and laugh.
Zhou Yang felt unhappy, but it was hard to get angry. After all, Liu and Liang were from the same faction, so it would be a bad idea to offend them. Moreover, these two people had the backing of Tongzhou Trading Company, so he couldn't afford to offend them yet.
Of course, the friendship between the three people still existed, and he did not want to make the relationship tense, but there was already a gap between the two of them, and the subsequent discussions were in vain, and naturally there was no result in the end.
