Master Wan Ling is not an exception.
Since the opening of the cross-region waterway, countless high-level monks in the Plains of Ten Thousand Countries, in order to make further progress, spent a lot of money to buy cross-region airship tickets and traveled thousands of miles to the southern border to look for opportunities.
The twenty-three regions of Southern Xinjiang have their own rules and regulations under the jurisdiction of Shuiyue Valley.
Any monks who come from the Plains of Ten Thousand Kingdoms cannot stay in the Twenty-Three Territories for a long time without permission from Shuiyue Valley, so their final destinations are Blackstone Fortress or two other fortresses.
Blackstone Fortress belongs to the Water Moon Valley territory.
In other words.
Such monks come to Blackstone Fortress.
He could only follow the arrangements of Shuiyue Valley.
Of course, Shuiyue Valley will not force such monks to do missions that require death. Generally speaking, the higher the level of cultivation, the higher the degree of freedom. Just like Master Wan Ling, when he first came to Blackstone Fortress, he arranged for the deputy of a large stronghold. The position of city lord.
It’s a long story.
In fact, it is just a moment.
After Zhao Yongqi asked, Zhao Yongpei gave a prepared response: "It has been found out that there are seven deputy city lords in Ninety-Six City. These deputy city lords, including senior Wan Ling, are actually from the Plains of Ten Thousand Nations and have no real power. But if you want to help the Zhao family, it should be easy."
"All the information about Senior Wan Ling is here."
Said.
The shadow under Zhao Yongqi's feet was weirdly curved, standing up like a paper figure, except that this paper figure was pure black. It held a delicate jade slip the size of a finger in both hands and presented it to Zhao Yongqi respectfully.
"Is this...can you send real objects through the shadow beast clone?"
Zhao Yongqi did not pick up the jade slip, but stared closely at the black paper figure in front of him, a hint of shock flashed through his calm eyes.
He had never heard of such a mysterious technique of teleporting physical objects out of thin air, let alone that Zhao Yongpei was only a foundation-building monk.
"It's just a short distance teleportation."
The black paper man grinned and showed a creepy smile: "My body is nearby, so I can teleport over short distances. There are many restrictions, which are not what the patriarch thought."
"Is this so..."
Zhao Yongqi nodded subconsciously, the look of surprise in his eyes did not fade away, and he obviously did not listen to Zhao Yongpei's explanation.
He took the jade slip.
Divine consciousness is invested in it.
The jade slips are all filled with information about Wan Ling, from Jiuyao Temple in the Luo Kingdom to Wan Ling's own experiences over the years. All major events and minor affairs are recorded on it. This shows how terrifying Zhao Yongpei's intelligence network is.
However, Zhao Yongqi's mind was not on the jade slips at this time. The scene where the jade slips appeared out of thin air still echoed in his mind.
Even though Zhao Yongpei said there are many limitations, being able to teleport physical objects out of thin air without the help of a teleportation array is still an extremely mysterious technique, and it is definitely not as simple as Zhao Yongpei said.
Think of this.
Zhao Yongqi couldn't help but glance at the black paper figure next to him.
It should be said that he has read many ancient books and secret books over the years, but he has never discovered an existence like the shadow beast.
Zhao Yongpei's current achievements are probably mostly due to the shadow beast. I don't know where the other party got such unlucky luck to contract the shadow beast as a life spirit beast.
But this also shows.
Southern Xinjiang is indeed a lucky place.
It all depends on your own luck and ability.
"That's right." Zhao Yongqi's heart moved, and he suddenly said: "The photo studio you founded is now in good order. I wonder if there are any tokens or other objects?"
"Token? No."
The black paper man shook his head: "The photo studio is a secret intelligence agency. In order to ensure that it is not noticed by high-level clans, I personally select the customers served by the photo studio. The shadow beast clones provide one-on-one service, so there is no need for tokens or other items. "
"but......"
Seeing the disappointment on Zhao Yongqi's face, the black paper man changed his words and said: "There was no token before, but it doesn't mean there won't be any in the future. Since the patriarch needs it, I will give him the first token from the studio now."
The words fell.
The black paper man suddenly grabbed his body with both hands and pulled outwards hard. The black paper man was immediately torn into two pieces from top to bottom.
I saw that the left half of the paper man suddenly grew an arm. Without saying a word, it grabbed the right half of the paper man in its hand, and then mercilessly crumpled the half of the paper man in its hand into a ball.
Finally pinching and pinching...
It turned into an object that looked like a black token.
"Patriarch, this [Photo Studio Order] will be the first token of the studio from now on, and it is also the highest level token. No matter who is carrying this token, as long as there is no conflict with the interests of the studio and the Zhao family, they can represent you for free. Use any information from the photo studio.”
The remaining half of the black piece of paper presented the token.
Zhao Yongqi took the token.
Take a closer look.
The token is about the size of a palm, dark and triangular in shape. It feels cold and soft to the touch. It is like holding a ball of cold cotton in your hand, but if you squeeze it hard, it will not affect the token at all.
Both the front and back of the token are covered with light black mist, but if you look closely from the front, you will find that the black mist forms a "shadow" character through the depth of the richness.
"Photo studio order."
After looking at the token, Zhao Yongqi nodded with satisfaction and said, "Senior Brother, I would like to thank Junior Brother Yongpei."
"They are all members of the Zhao family. The patriarch's words are serious."
The black paper man turned slightly to avoid Zhao Yongqi's salute.
"but."
Zhao Yongqi suddenly frowned and said: "This photo studio order has such great authority. It might be bad if it falls into the hands of outsiders. How about using Junior Brother Pei to create a code word and use it in conjunction with this photo studio order?"
"Brother, the patriarch, is more thoughtful."
Zhao Yongpei didn't think too much, and followed Zhao Yongqi's words and replied: "Since it is the suggestion made by the patriarch, senior brother, how about troubled the senior patriarch to establish this secret code of the photo studio in person?"
This kind of thing is harmless.
Zhao Yongpei sold it to Zhao Yongqi.
Zhao Yongqi did not refuse. He pondered for a moment and then said softly: "The photo studio stands in the sky and sees all things with wise eyes."
Zhao Yongpei may have thought that Zhao Yongqi was just thinking about the Zhao family, and this photo studio order was reserved for the descendants of the Zhao family.
He wouldn't have thought of it.
Zhao Yongqi is obsessed with tokens and code words.
Not just for the Zhao family.
What's more important is to leave enough backup for your next life.
It was precisely when Zhao Yongqi saw the development potential of the photo studio that he came up with an idea and asked Zhao Yongpei to leave a token so that after he returned from reincarnation, if the photo studio still existed and if he could get access to the photo studio, he could continue to use the information from the photo studio.
Take the danger of Blackstone Fortress.
Zhao Yongqi was not 100% sure that he would be able to go back.
so.
Now is the time to prepare for the next life.
"Ninety-six cities..."
"Wu...huuu——"
Zhao Yongqi was about to say something, but was suddenly interrupted by a harsh and urgent warning signal. His expression changed, and he immediately stood up. With a slight sway, he was already outside the hall.
