Bai Wanli went on to say: "Mortals like Lao Chan who live in various tribes must either do labor or pay spiritual stones, otherwise they are not allowed to live in the tribe. Because in our tribe, they are all banned by the immortal master They have set up magic circles, so we mortals don’t have to worry about the attacks of monsters and sandstorms, so that we mortals can stay here with peace of mind. Moreover, the immortal masters have great magical powers. When we mortals go out to do business, most of us will try our best to hire one or two. Go with the caravan. This way, if you encounter a monster in the sand dunes, you can still have a chance to survive. Of course, these immortal masters who are willing to be hired are the ones with a relatively free status. "
"Sandstorm?" When Han Li heard this word, a look of confusion flashed across his face.
Monster, he has seen it before! But what this "sandstorm" is, he has never seen before.
"The place where the Immortal Master stayed before has naturally never seen a sandstorm. Is this considered lucky?" the old man laughed at himself and said softly.
"I have never seen a sandstorm in the place where I practiced before! What on earth is a sandstorm that can be compared with monsters?" Jiang Chen said calmly, as if he didn't care.
Hearing what Jiang Chen said, Bai Wanli was a little suspicious, but he still explained honestly:
"Sandstorms and monsters are the two most common disasters in our sand dune land. Needless to say about monsters, the immortal master must know more than me. Most of the monsters in the sand dunes are extremely huge, especially those with proficiency. There are mostly earth-attributed monsters. They are extremely destructive to us mortals, and they cannot be resisted by mortals. Only immortal masters with immortal magic can kill them."
"Sandstorms are disasters that occur every year and sweep across the entire sand dune land, ranging from once or twice to three or five times. Wherever they pass, the sky is filled with yellow sand, strong winds sweep over the ground, and no grass grows in the places they pass by. Even if we live in a tribe with magical protection, we mortals still have some casualties. And I heard that even if the immortal masters are involved in a sandstorm, it will be extremely difficult to escape, and they may even be buried in it." Bai Wanli said Here, there was a bit of fear on his face.
When Jiang Chen heard this, he started to think about it.
"What the hell is this place? According to this, my plan to find a secluded place to practice alone and gradually build the foundation will be in vain. Otherwise, I will encounter those sandstorms, or encounter Wouldn’t it be too unfair for some powerful monsters to die?”
Jiang Chen looked a little depressed!
Seeing the unhappy look on Jiang Chen's face after hearing what he said, Bai Wanli became uneasy, thinking that he had said the wrong thing and offended the immortal master in front of him.
"What sentence made Master Immortal unhappy?" Just as the old man was muttering, Jiang Chen pondered for a moment and then asked again:
"Why did the Chang Dong just invite me to live in their tribe? And where is your caravan planning to go now?"
Jiang Chen stared at the old man's face expressionlessly. There was no emotion or anger on his face. His expression of calmness made the old man's heart skip a beat, and he couldn't help but show some hesitation.
Seeing the old man's expression, Jiang Chen didn't know that there was something fishy about it. Then he said with a calm expression: "Don't worry, old gentleman. I'm just asking to know the reason. After all, I can't just be confused when I come out, so I can just agree to your boss's request." ? Besides, if there is really any need for me to help you, I won’t be able to make a trip."
When Bai Wanli heard what Jiang Chen said, he smiled awkwardly, knowing that the immortal master in front of him had noticed it. If he didn't say anything, he would probably offend the immortal master in front of him, and he would definitely not get any good results from him.
So, after he coughed dryly, he said with a trembling smile: "Master Immortal, please don't blame me. In fact, there is nothing to hide about this matter. It's just that I didn't have time to explain the reason to Master Immortal just now."
After hearing this excuse, Jiang Chen glanced at the old man coldly and said "Old fox" in his heart, but there was no expression on his face. He was still waiting for the old man to tell the reason.
Later, the old man immediately explained the reason for the incident.
It turned out that Chief Chang's caravan had just sold a batch of supplies from another tribe and was on its way back. As for Chang Fangzhu, he was just a servant of the tribe leader before, but because of his agility and intelligence, he helped the previous Fangzhu solve many problems, and slowly mastered a lot of business with the help of the tribe leader, until this year he became He became the new leader of the Shanyu tribe.
In the Land of Sand Dunes, there is a strange thing that cultivators rarely participate in business. Most of them are mortals who do business, because the really profitable business is the long-distance transactions between the Star City and the six Taiwan cities. . Most of this kind of business is done by mortals from various tribes, and there are some reasons for this.
Because although the Dune Land has a relatively independent status, it borders the Ghost Fang to the east and will have wars with the Ghost Fang every three to five years. This makes the Sand Dune Land, which is already lacking in monks, even more protective of the monks. Therefore, the Xingxing City The Presbyterian Council has established a law that all monks from outside the Land of Sand Dunes who intend to settle in the Land of Sand Dunes for a long time only need to register with Star City or each tribe before they can move in, while the tribes in the Land of Sand Dunes only need to register. Whenever you see foreign monks, you need to take the initiative to recruit them, and try your best to let them hold positions in the tribe.
This is done firstly to facilitate the management of the monks who come to the land of dunes, and secondly, to attract monks from the outside to the land of sand dunes so that some fresh blood can flow in for replenishment. The main reason why monks are not allowed to touch business is that there are frequent wars and monsters. The monks' energy needs to be used to cultivate and improve their strength and protect the safety of various places in the Dune Land, so many things are entrusted to mortals.
Moreover, the Presbyterian Council stipulated that as long as it could recruit a body-refining-level warrior to Xiuxing City, the tribe could be given the qualification to do business with Taicheng for one year. Recruiting a Qi Refiner who is in the Qi Refining Stage can be granted for two years. As for recruiting Qi and Blood Realm, the tribe can be granted the qualification to trade in Suxing City. This recruitment can be recruiting to serve as a guardian in the tribe, or They hold certain positions within the tribe.
This kind of long-distance trade between big cities is what attracts mortals like them the most, and Chang Fangzhu, who was originally engaged in reselling business between tribes, has often talked about wanting to bring the Shanyu Tribe into the country since he became the new leader of the Shanyu Tribe. The Shanyu tribe has become more prosperous, so what they have always dreamed of is to obtain trade qualifications with Xiuxing City and Taicheng.
But after Chang Fangzhu became the leader of the tribe, Chang Fangzhu was shocked to find out. It turns out that this kind of long-distance trading business with big cities is not something you can join casually, but you need to make certain contributions to be qualified. That is the need to bring in monks to Dune Land every year.
And even if monks can be brought in, they cannot be granted the qualifications to trade casually. There are only ten qualifications for hundreds of tribes to trade with the Star City, and there are only thirty-six qualifications for trading with the six Taichengs. So these For the quotas, a fighting competition is held every year to determine the tribe that gets the quota.
A tribe that wants to have ideas for this business invites an immortal master who has lived here for a long time to challenge the magic. Only by ranking in the top 46 among many tribes can they obtain permission to trade between cities.
After Chang Fangzhu became the tribe's Fangzhu, he immediately panicked when he heard the news.
Because the previous leader of their tribe had no ambitions, and what he had done in the past was short-distance business, so he would not encounter monsters at all. There was only one guard in the past ten years, but since the war broke out and he was deployed to participate in the war, he has not come back. , so I know very few immortal cultivators!
He originally planned to wait until the business was secured, then pay a large sum of money to find a tribal guardian from the outside world to obtain the qualifications to trade between cities, so as to earn a lot of spiritual stones to ease the pressure of paying tribute.
Because the Shanyu tribe does not have a guardian envoy, their guardian arrays are all arranged by Suxing City. In addition to the maintenance costs of these arrays borne by the tribe, they also need to pay an additional amount of spiritual stones to serve as the guardian of Suxing City. cost.
As a result, the pressure is very high. As the magic circle falls into disrepair, more spiritual stones will be needed to replace it. Currently, it is more cost-effective to find a guardian.
But now it's too late.
Because when he got the news, it happened to be that the annual business qualification competition was about to start, so there was no time for him to slowly look for it!
You must know that the number of monks in the Sand Dune Land is relatively small, and most of them are concentrated in the Star City and the Six Platforms. There are very few monks who can be found in various tribes, let alone monks who are willing to serve as guardians. Although this position can be I got a lot of spiritual stones, but in addition to protecting the safety of the tribe when monsters came, I also had to set up a magic circle to fight the sandstorm when it came, which can be said to be a chore.
But one advantage of being a guardian is that when there is a war in the Dune Land, the guardian does not need to go to the battlefield immediately unless necessary.
This situation made it impossible for Lord Chang Fang to find any willing and suitable monks in the Shanyu tribe and surrounding areas in a short period of time.
In desperation, he had no choice but to take advantage of the opportunity of delivering goods to search for help from other familiar tribes, hoping to ask one of the warriors with some connections to help. Unexpectedly, this move not only aroused the resentment of the tribe leader, but also prepared to cancel their business qualifications. Fortunately, after the warrior's persuasion, Chang Fang Leader and others were allowed to leave the tribe safely.
But in this case, Chang Fangzhu was really dumbfounded.
But now, Jiang Chen, a foreign monk, plunged into his caravan. How could this not make Master Chang Fang, who was looking for no monk everywhere, overjoyed?
Although I don’t know what Jiang Chen’s cultivation level is, it’s better to be a dead horse than to give up the opportunity in vain!
Therefore, he wanted to try his best to win over Jiang Chen, just to let Jiang Chen fight for him in the next competition for ranking.
Jiang Chen was completely speechless after hearing these words.
When he first heard that there were some guardian angels among the mortal tribes and that they could hold positions among them, he found it incredible. But now in this land of sand dunes, for the sake of the business qualifications of some ordinary mortals, there are actually some nonsense battles. This is really hard for Jiang Chen, a Qi Refiner from China, to accept for a while.
It seems that although monks are still a superior group in this place, their attitude towards ordinary people is not as clear-cut as in Middle-earth. On the contrary, there are inextricably linked relationships between monks and mortals.
However, he had just entered this place and was not familiar with everything. If he were to fight with others for a tribe's business qualifications, it would not be in line with his principle of keeping a low profile.
