I don’t know when.
In the huge boat parking lot, monks have appeared in twos and threes.
The clothes and clothes are all the same, but they also have their own signs.
In other words, there are three families of monks wearing the same symbol.
This boat parking lot should be jointly operated by monks from three parties.
Lu Rong's Shengongmen is one of them.
The other two monks stood far away, stretching their necks, as if watching a good show.
On Luo Chen's side, Nangong Jin and Li Yixian had unknowingly arrived behind him.
Looking at Lu Rong, Luo Chen snorted coldly.
"We stopped here because we followed local customs and didn't want to cause trouble."
"But after you landed, you didn't say anything. When you came up, you just washed and repaired the boat."
"Then let me ask you, how much does it cost?"
"If you don't know the price, please explain it in advance. If you wash the flying boat, I'll charge you 10,000 spiritual stones, haha!"
Facing Luo Chen's questioning, Lu Rong's expression changed slightly.
Then, he slapped him away.
Snapped!
Next to him, Xu Xiaoliu had a red five-finger print on the left side of his face.
"Xiao Liu, look at the good things you have done!"
"On the way here, I didn't talk to this...what do you call me?" Lu Rong paused and looked at Luo Chen.
Luo Chen snorted softly, "I'm Dan Chenzi."
I gave you a Dao number but didn't tell me my real name?
Lu Rong frowned, then slapped him again with his backhand.
"Why didn't you explain it clearly to this senior Dan Chenzi on the way here?"
Snapped!
Xu Xiaoliu also had a red five-finger mark on the right side of his face.
It's more symmetrical to the left side of the face.
This scene made the Qi-refining monks from Luo Tianhui, Li family, and Nangong family, who had just disembarked from the boat, look at each other in shock.
Some people even glared at each other.
How can you be so disrespectful!
"Okay, let's talk about something, don't do this."
Luo Chen said impatiently.
Lu Rong chuckled and rubbed his fingers, as if he had hurt his own hand when he had just slapped someone else in the face.
"Don't be angry, fellow Daoist Dan Chenzi. This matter is indeed due to our negligence."
"But don't worry, we are all children here and we will never rip off customers randomly!"
Why don't you rip off customers?
I really wanted you to get started just now, but it’s not up to you to decide how many spiritual stones to collect later.
Luo Chen sneered in his heart, but his face was very cooperative and relaxed.
"As for washing boats, we charge based on the size of the flying boat. If it is within three feet, one spiritual stone will be charged once. If it is within ten feet, five spiritual stones will be charged once. For large flying boats like Taoist Friends, fifty spiritual stones will be charged. A stone once."
Hearing the price, the Qi Refining monks behind him couldn't help but become commotion.
Faintly, there was something like "Why don't you just grab it?"
"This is robbing!"
"I almost bought half a bottle of Qi Nourishing Pill."
Something like that.
Li Yixian turned around suddenly and glared.
The one making the commotion was her, a monk from the Li family.
He was used to being arrogant in Dahefang, and he was well protected along the way.
When I came to Tianlan Immortal City, I was still so carefree.
Not afraid of getting into trouble!
Looking at the Luo Tianhui monks again, all of them had their mouths closed and stared at Luo Chen's back.
Even the monks from the Nangong family looked solemn and did not dare to say anything.
After Li Yixian glared, the commotion finally disappeared.
Lu Rong seemed to have not heard those sounds, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, it's definitely not as simple as throwing a water ball!"
"After all, the flying boat is also a magic weapon. It will be corroded by various things. If it is not handled well, it can easily damage key parts."
"Normally you can't see anything, but at a critical moment, it might mean something bad."
"We clean from the outside to the inside, using water mirror technique to control the overall situation, supplemented by cleaning technique, water polo technique, dust removal technique... plus exclusive spiritual liquid."
"After cleaning, keep it clean without leaving any dirt!"
He stretched out his palm and raised five fingers.
Xu Xiaoliu next to him couldn't help but shudder.
"Fifty? It's really not expensive!"
Slap, shake.
Just talk, why do you do so many auxiliary movements?
Luo Chen asked: "What about repairs?"
The Sky Eagle Flying Boat almost fell apart due to various twists and turns along the way.
If it's not expensive, you can really consider it.
Duan Feng is good at casting magic weapons.
When it comes to repairs, I know a lot about low- and middle-grade weapons, but high-grade magic weapons are relatively common.
The flying boat is a large magic weapon, and its price is comparable to that of defensive magic weapons of the same level.
The difficulty of repair is even several times higher.
Along the way, it was just patchwork, not real repairs.
Lu Rong laughed!
Carrying his pipe, he came to the Sky Eagle Flying Boat.
Knock here, hit there, and from time to time, the spiritual consciousness is released to explore the inside.
Finally, he came back with a face like a sunflower.
"Just say it!"
"This flying boat of yours is a product of Tiansail City two hundred years ago. It is already outdated."
"Some of the materials above are not commonly used now. If we want to repair it, we have to spend a lot of effort to find replacement materials."
"As for the formation, it's even more of a mess. I looked at it and found that the formations are quite sophisticated, but they are not suitable for flying boat-type magic weapons, and they look nondescript."
These words made Min Longyu blush.
The formation he had put so much effort into was given a nondescript rating by the Foundation Establishment cultivator.
"I made a rough estimate."
Lu Rong stretched out his palm and raised four fingers.
Xu Xiaoliu trembled again.
"Four thousand! If you want to completely repair it, you need four thousand spiritual stones!"
"Fellow Daoist Dan Chenzi, I didn't say much about the price!"
After finishing speaking, he looked at Luo Chen expectantly.
"Ha ha!"
Luo Chen smiled.
He was so angry that he laughed!
For this price, if you add a few hundred yuan, you can buy a large high-grade flying boat.
This Lu Rong really treated them as foreign fat sheep and slaughtered them!
Seeing Luo Chen smile, Lu Rong's eyes also lit up.
"Fellow Taoist, what do you mean?"
"dont wash!"
"Um?"
"Don't even repair it!"
"Well!"
Lu Rong's smile disappeared.
"Fellow Taoist, you seem to be making fun of me."
Luo Chen also stopped smiling, "The ice castle monk guarding the door just said that we should come and stop the boat, but he didn't say that we must wash it or repair it."
Lu Rong opened his mouth, and finally laughed angrily.
Too lazy to talk to Luo Chen, he returned to the previous awning and sat and smoked.
Luo Chen glanced at him and looked at Xu Xiaoliu.
"What's the charging method for parking a boat?"
Xu Xiaoliu was no longer as clever as before and said cautiously: "The price of a large flying boat like yours being docked every day is a low-grade spiritual stone."
"Is there a deadline?"
"Yes, after more than a month, the price doubles."
"How do you know if you can dismantle precious materials?"
"The management of Tianlan City has installed a photo wall here to monitor the whole process. If precious materials are really stolen, Tianlan City's law enforcement team will catch the thief and punish him severely."
"What if the flying boat is destroyed?"
"Probably...no!"
"Okay, let's stop for ten days!"
After Luo Chen finished speaking, Sima Huiniang walked up and took out ten spiritual stones and handed them to Xu Xiaoliu.
"We will also stop for ten days!"
"Same here."
At the Li family and Nangong family, monks immediately took out spiritual stones.
After Xu Xiaoliu took it, he quickly ran to a small attic in the boat parking lot.
After a while, three signs that looked like wood but not wood, or iron but not iron came out.
"This is the boat parking sign. You can use it to settle the boat parking fee when the time comes."
After saying that, he stood aside respectfully.
Wait for Luo Chen and the others to leave.
Unexpectedly.
Luo Chen looked at him from a distance.
"We are in need of a guide. Are you interested in earning a tip?"
Xu Xiaoliu was stunned and quickly followed him.
Luo Chen smiled slightly, glanced at Lu Rong without any trace, and then led the people away.
After they leave.
A monk opposite the Shengong Gate of the parking lot started laughing.
"Lu Rong, you are so embarrassed!"
"roll!"
"Fellow Taoist Lu Rong, you still have to do business well. You can't just kill people if you see them! In my opinion, if you talk nicely, you might be able to win a business."
"Fuck you!"
Lu Rong's face was gloomy and he looked at the direction Luo Chen and the others were leaving.
"Damn it, a bunch of poor guys from the countryside can't even squeeze out a ounce of oil."
He took a deep breath of the cigarette and slowly recovered the smoke from his body.
His eyes drifted away and fell on the Sky Eagle flying boat which had just stopped for a short time.
A hint of sinisterness appeared at the corner of his mouth.
…
"It's so dark!"
"Yes, yes, if you park a flying boat, you will need a spiritual stone every day."
"It's okay to park the boat. This kind of large flying boat cannot be stored in an ordinary storage bag. We don't have a place to stay for the time being, so we'll just ask someone to take care of it for the money. The worst thing is those who clean and repair the boats. price."
"Oh, you really think we are from a remote country, and we will kill you if we don't agree with you."
"Qian Tong, please stop talking. When Dahefang Forum opened, didn't you also ruthlessly slaughter us outsiders?"
"Tsk, tsk, how can I put this? One moment and another, now we are all brothers!"
"Let me tell you, the president must be very thoughtful and can tell at a glance that they are not good people!"
"Indeed, I was quite happy when I saw a group of people helping us wash the flying boat."
"You are right to follow the president. We have never suffered a loss."
"I don't know where we will live next or what will happen in the future."
"Why are you thinking so much? Let's see the weather of Daxian City later!"
"Yeah, I was always shocked when I looked at it from a distance. I don't know what it's like inside?"
…
There was endless discussion behind him.
Luo Chen seemed not to have heard anything. As he walked, he looked at Xu Xiaoliu with a half-smile.
"Liuzi, it's not very authentic for you to help outsiders kill me!"
outsider?
You are the outsider!
Xu Xiaoliu swallowed and said in horror: "Senior, I was wrong. You can't kill me. My uncle is an Ice Castle monk."
"Your uncle? Is that the old man at the ninth level of Qi Refining who is guarding the door?"
"Yeah, yeah, yeah!" He nodded like a fool, fearing that Luo Chen would have murderous intentions.
"Then are you a monk from the Ice Castle?"
"no."
"Rogue cultivator?"
"Uh-huh."
Xu Xiaoliu, who nodded, suddenly came to his senses, "Why don't seniors think I'm from the Shengong Sect?"
Luo Chen pursed his lips and said, "Look at your clothes."
Xu Xiaoliu took a look at the ordinary white robe and suddenly realized what he saw.
His attire is indeed not that of Shengongmen.
Luo Chen chuckled and concluded that Xu Xiaoliu was not a disciple of the Shengong Sect, not just because of his clothes.
There are also some qualities on the palm.
The disciples of Shengong Sect have thick calluses on their hands, and their whole bodies exude a special smell.
It should be the so-called unique spiritual liquid that was contaminated by cleaning the flying boat all the year round.
Ever since he attained the Dzogchen of the Cleansing Technique, he has become very sensitive to these smells.
As a judgment, it is still feasible.
"Logically speaking, your uncle is a disciple of Ice Castle, so Lu Rong shouldn't humiliate you in such a public way!"
Without waiting for Xu Xiaoliu to answer.
Luo Chen asked curiously: "So, how much benefit did they give you to make you work so hard to solicit customers, and even cooperate with them to rip off customers?"
Xu Xiaoliu scratched his head in embarrassment.
"One percent."
"10% of the profit?"
"No, it's 10% of the fee."
"No wonder!" Luo Chen suddenly realized, "If you really make this deal, you can earn hundreds of spirit stones just from my flying boat. All you have to pay is just running errands. If it doesn't work, it will only be two hand."
Xu Xiaoliu patted his chest, "I'm worth the price!"
"How to say?"
Xu Xiaoliu said confidently: "I have grown up in Tianlan Immortal City since I was a child, and I am very familiar with this place. My uncle is also an Ice Castle disciple who has been on duty for the past ten years, so they will naturally give me this treatment."
Luo Chen smiled slightly.
That’s right!
Having such a guide can save you a lot of trouble later.
After all, Min Longyu has been away from Tianlan Immortal City for too long. The situation here changes every day, so how can he know everything about it.
Local snakes like Xu Xiaoliu, who dare to kill outsiders, are the guides he really needs.
"Then next, will you try any tricks?"
Xu Xiaoliu shook his head quickly.
How dare he.
At first glance, this senior was not one of those easy-to-fool-able country bumpkins from a cultivating family in the countryside.
Very shrewd!
Moreover, he neither pretends to be big nor weak.
Talking with Na Lurong, he inquired clearly about the situation of the boat parking lot.
In the end, I lost nothing and left in a happy mood.
"What's the situation with Shengongmen?"
"Hey, what's going on? With two or three big cats and kittens, you can get some casting inheritance, and then spend money to build relationships, and then you can build some industries in the boat parking lot and the city. I just want to..."
"Elaborate!"
"Well, inside the door, there are three foundation-building cultivators in total, taking turns..."
…
Before he knew it, he had reached the outside of the moat again.
"Senior, are so many of you going to the city?"
Luo Chen hummed naturally.
Xu Xiaoliu scratched his head, "Once you enter the city, you have to collect a spirit stone. And you can only stay for one day. When you come out and go back in, you have to pay another spirit stone, which is a bit expensive!"
He was a little unsure whether Luo Chen was rich or cash-strapped.
After all, at the boat parking lot, the other party couldn't even spare the money to launder the boats.
It can be seen that he is well dressed, but he does not look like a poor person.
Luo Chen smiled and called Sima Huiniang.
Then, she took Xu Xiaoliu to pay the spirit stone.
Li Yixian and Nangong Jin came closer.
"Luo Chen, isn't it a bit bad that you were so shameless before?"
Nangong Jin said worriedly.
Luo Chen glanced at her and then looked at Li Yixian.
"That's what you mean too?"
Li Yixian hesitated, then nodded slightly.
However, Luo Chen snorted.
"He is the one who resorts to petty tricks, so what if I lose face to him?"
"If you come from out of town, do you have to be a dwarf?"
"Besides, face is worthless when doing business. If he wants to cause trouble because of face, then he should stop doing business!"
Li Yixian's heart trembled.
Nangong Jin thought of Luo Chen's rise in Dahefang.
Defeat the coalition forces of Dajiang Gang and Xuan Yihui!
Destroy the Fu family and establish their power!
Surrounded by all parties, he defeated the Xiaohuan Mountain and conquered the Duan family, thus gaining the opportunity to be on an equal footing with their foundation-building forces.
It was also by taking advantage of this opportunity that he had enough time and space to build the foundation calmly.
visible.
Luo Chen has never been a character willing to be subordinate to others.
But, this time, that time!
Nangong Jin sighed, "We are not familiar with the place here. What if we offend someone we shouldn't offend..."
"You can only fish for money in places like the boat parking lot. Can't you afford to offend me?" Luo Chen gave him a cold look.
Li Yixian hesitated and said: "It is said that there are also people who take advantage of human power and use land to make money."
"Then I'm afraid he won't be very powerful, and he will have to fight for food from three families!"
Luo Chen snorted coldly.
Lu Rong's family was not the only one at the boat parking lot.
Looking at the two people worrying about gains and losses, Luo Chen couldn't help but shake his head.
After all, they are also the two major foundation-building and immortal-cultivating families in Dahefang.
How arrogant he was at the beginning.
I changed places, but ended up being so timid.
He admitted that when visiting a strange place, one should indeed keep a low profile.
But we can’t be so low-key that we have to endure it silently when others put knives on their necks and are ready to slaughter.
That's not cultivating immortality.
That's the grandson of Xiu Gui!
"What I seek is the birth of freedom and freedom, not the immortality of a thousand-year-old king or an eighty-thousand-year-old tortoise!"
Saying something silently in his heart, Luo Chen jumped over the two of them and looked for Sima Huiniang.
behind.
Nangong Jin suddenly sighed.
He recalled the scene when the Bai family led a group of Liuguangfang to rob the cultivator.
At the beginning, if he hadn't made a crazy counterattack, we would both have been destroyed.
I'm afraid the Nangong family has already been eliminated.
"Perhaps it is right for Luo Chen to do that!"
Li Yixian opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.
Since leaving Dahefang, she has found more and more shortcomings in herself.
Lack of opinion and strategy.
If you don't have a long-term vision, you won't be able to control your subordinates.
Everything seems to be taking a step and looking at a step.
"Can I really lead the Li family to survive in Tianlan Immortal City like this?"
I asked myself, but there was no answer.
In his eyes, the scene where the Fu family was destroyed seemed to appear.
It was a family of immortal cultivators who fled from Tianlan Immortal City and were finally destroyed in Dahefang.
The cause of death was that there was no foundation-building cultivator in charge?
I'm afraid, not necessarily!
