There are many rivers and lakes in Yunmengze. After Zhang Qing left, he randomly found a raging river and sank into the water to recover his mana.
By the time they recovered and returned to Xianze City, the Gu family here had disappeared, replaced by the ugly-faced Shui family.
"Are you Mr. Jing? Do you still dare to appear in front of my Shui family?"
Not long after entering Xianze City, several figures descended from the sky and surrounded Zhang Qing in the center. The spiritual energy was faintly connected, forming a fighting formation among the monks.
Seeing this, many mortals around them fled in all directions in terror. They had seen the battles of these immortal masters, and the houses built of stone were like grass in front of them.
Looking at these people, Zhang Qing was not too nervous, "Why don't I dare? Is there any mortal grudge between us?"
"Senior Brother Nan died in your hands." When he said this, several people had already made gestures to take action.
"Nan Zongchen? His surname is not Shui. Why are you so excited?"
"He is my Shui family's son-in-law, so he is also my Shui family."
"Isn't that still not the surname of Shui? And if it weren't for me, I'm afraid those of you who died would really be the surname of Shui." Zhang Qing pointed to a few people, "Maybe it's you, maybe it's you, maybe you all have to die. "
"You always have the surname Shui, right?"
After saying this, several Shui family foundation builders also fell silent. After the battle, they also knew why Shui Yunming suddenly sent a message to them.
"So, everything is okay?" Zhang Qing looked at the few people who had no mana fluctuations on their bodies, and then continued.
"Then I'm looking for you now. When will you give me the fifty thousand spirit stones?"
One person looked at Zhang Qing closely, and then said: "Follow me."
In Xianze City before, Gu Fen of the Gu family was the talker, but now the Shui family is the elder of the Shui family in the late stage of foundation building.
"The goods are sold to two families. Your Excellency has a good calculation." While handing over a storage bag, Shui Kuadao looked at Zhang Qing with a gloomy look.
"So the value is halved. Seniors should see how this helps the Shui family."
Shui Kuodao sneered: "So you are still alive now."
"That's why I returned to Xianze and sold the goods to two families. It was not my intention. It's just that the Shui family didn't give me the secret share."
"Senior should be lucky, otherwise the people sitting here today would still be the Gu family."
"How much is the confidentiality?" Shui Kuodao asked.
Zhang Qing stretched out a finger and said, "10%."
The Shui family's late-stage foundation-builder's eyes narrowed slightly, "They say people's hearts are not as good as snakes, but you seem to be even more greedy."
"This is the rule."
"Since it's a rule, how about I ask you for a favor?" Shui Kuodao said. This was the purpose of finding Zhang Qing, otherwise he wouldn't be able to take out the fifty thousand spirit stones easily.
"Oh?" Zhang Qing raised his eyebrows, "What information does the Shui family want, and do they need outsiders?"
"Just make extra preparations." Shui Kuadao laughed, but his smile couldn't hide the coldness deep in his pupils.
"There are three Golden Lotuses of Mortal Dharma species in the Gu family. They are now distributed in three directions. I need you to find out the specific identity of the person on Qingdu Mountain."
"After everything is done, the Shui family will give you 50,000 spirit stones and 10% of the 'rules'."
"That's a golden lotus..." Zhang Qing hesitated.
"Haha, you don't even mind offending the Shui family and my Gu family, so why are you afraid of growing golden lotus?"
Zhang Qing shook his head, "I mean...you have to pay more."
He looked at the late-stage foundation building in front of him and said, "One hundred thousand."
Shui Kuodao's expression turned grim, "It's just an identity. Fifty thousand is already the limit, and that's because it's a golden lotus."
Zhang Qing's eyes were calm under the exposed mask, and he was talking about an unrelated matter, "Senior, do you know that when I returned to Xianze City, I found that the price of Foundation Establishment Pills had increased?"
Shui Kuodao fell silent, and after a long time stared at Zhang Qing like a wolf, "In addition to identity, I also need most of the foundation building information on Qingdu Mountain."
"make a deal."
The process of obtaining 150,000 spirit stones did not take more than half a year, and even Zhang Qing couldn't help but look happy. Read a book
However, the consciousness still patrolled the surroundings vigilantly, "No one will come to intercept and kill me, right?"
With 150,000 spirit stones on his body, even monks from four clans would not be tempted. This is why Zhang Qing left in a hurry after getting the spirit stones.
However, these spirit stones cannot belong to him alone. There are still some people in Fengyu Tower. Although they are all controlled by Zhang Qingru like clones, he cannot be stingy with the spirit stones every time he submits information.
This is also a 'rule', which is conducive to the development of Fengyu Tower.
Five days later, Zhang Qing appeared in a casual repair shop called Beiyuan.
The scale here is almost the same as Zhulinfang City, but the difference is that it is controlled by the Gu family.
Beiyuanfang City is built on a mountain. That mountain is Qingdu Mountain. There are more than ten kinds of spiritual wood resources on the mountain. In addition to these resources, the purpose of Beiyuan is also the circles of spiritual fields at the foot of the mountain. , and the spirit stone veins deep underground.
Therefore, there are not as many casual cultivators here as there are in other cities. Instead, the people in charge of large and small forces supplement the bustle here.
Many cultivating families need spiritual rice for food, and also need the spiritual trees on the mountain as resources for cultivation. Over time, they have become the numerous cooperative forces of the Gu family.
But the old man who had lived in the city for many years still shook his head at Zhang Qing, "It's not that lively anymore. If fellow Taoists had come here half a year ago, the number of people in Beiyuan would have doubled."
"In the past few months, many of the surrounding immortal cultivating forces have disappeared, and even Beiyuan is far from what it used to be."
The old man was a little helpless. The decrease in the flow of people caused his business to be bleak.
When Zhang Qing heard this, he gradually understood that the impact of what the Lingyue Chamber of Commerce had done was slowly beginning to spread even to the territory of the Gu family.
Then he asked, "Before I came here, I heard that there are foundation-building pills for sale in Beiyuanfang City?"
The old man glanced at Zhang Qing, then shook his head with a wry smile, "I advise fellow Taoist to give up. Do you know how much the price of Foundation Establishment Pills has increased in the past six months?"
He stretched out his palm and spread his fingers, "Fifty percent, a full increase of 50%. Rumor has it that this is all because of the recent disappearance of the forces that have caused the Foundation Establishment Pill to remain at the top."
"If you have spiritual stones, fellow Taoist, it's best to wait for a while. Maybe after three to five years, the price of the Foundation Establishment Pill will drop back."
Zhang Qing disagreed with this suggestion.
Is the price of the Foundation Establishment Pill because of the large and small immortal cultivating forces that were tricked by the Lingyue Chamber of Commerce into killing each other?
This is one of the reasons, but apart from one sect and four clans, casual cultivators cannot grasp the main factors.
The biggest reason why the price of Foundation Establishment Pills has increased is because the number of monks in Yunmengze has increased.
Zhang Qing didn't know what other families looked like, but he knew his own family. Ever since the family ordered a large-scale search for mortal children with spiritual roots, the number of monks in the Zhang family had begun to increase.
Then he captured dozens of mortal cities, and among these cities there were also mortals with spiritual roots.
The Zhang family is like this, and so are the four clans of the same clan, but are these the only extra monks that Yunmengze has?
