After listening to Bai Wanli's introduction, Jiang Chen finally understood something about it, but he still had a question in his mind. Then he smiled softly and asked: "Mr. Bai, I'm new here. Although I learned some things from what Mr. said, there are still other things. I have a question that I would like to ask."
"If you have any questions, Master Immortal, please feel free to ask, and I will try my best to answer them!" the old man said hurriedly and respectfully.
"I don't quite understand! Since all the tribes in the Land of Dune are so eager to trade, why does the City of Star City have to strictly control the qualifications for merchants? If it is completely relaxed, wouldn't the hundreds of tribes in the Land of Dune be more prosperous in business?"
Bai Wanli had a wry smile on his face after hearing Jiang Chen's question.
"The Immortal Master is joking. Spiritual veins are scarce in the land of sand dunes. Except for the Star City and the six Tai cities that all occupy some spiritual veins, the other tribes can occupy less than half of the spiritual veins. Without the nourishment of spiritual veins, in this land of sand dunes, The places where many tribes live are extremely harsh, which makes most of the materials and cultivation resources need to rely on foreign trade. Therefore, everyone is eager to trade with the big city, and the Yu State wants to prevent the sand dune land from becoming bigger. There are a lot of restrictions on trade between each other. After all, the resources in the land of sand dunes are limited, and it is impossible to fully open the supply. This makes Xingxing City have to control all supplies!" Bai Wanli carefully explained to Jiang Chen .
After hearing this, Jiang Chen nodded slowly and fell silent for a while, half-squinting his eyes and falling into deep thought.
After a long while, he said calmly: "I didn't expect that this sand dune land is so barren and the status is so embarrassing. I have to defend the ghost country in the east for the Yu State, but also have to be feared by the Yu State. I am really not a human being inside and outside."
Jiang Chen stared at the old man in front of him, and when he saw this, he quite agreed with his words, and then continued: "I can't do anything about what Chang Fangzhu wants me to do. Because my cultivation level is really not high, I just agreed to let him get that quota. There is no guarantee that I will get a ranking in the battle. Instead of humiliating myself, I would like to ask Sir to report the truth to Master Chang and let him hire another Gaoming! Later I will pay some spirit stones and ask your Master to buy a copy of Sand Dune Map of the land, and thank you for your hospitality.”
Jiang Chen spoke slowly and clearly, but his words seemed a little cold.
After hearing Jiang Chen's words of rejection, Bai Wanli's face turned pale, as if he was frightened.
Immediately afterwards, he begged Jiang Chen bitterly:
"Master Immortal, you should help my Shanyu tribe! You must know that in order to obtain the merchant qualification, my family's leader has spent a lot of savings in the tribe. And in order to obtain the ranking, Chang Fang leader has led the old man After hundreds of people have traveled thousands of miles and dozens of tribes, if we still can’t find an immortal master to help our Shanyu tribe, our tribe will no longer be able to protect so many people. And we helpers will also lose their jobs, and we will have to find another one. Find a way out." The old man had a pleading look on his face.
"My cultivation level is indeed low, and I'm just passing through here. I don't want to stay in the sand dunes for a long time, let alone go to some ranking competition competition to cause any trouble!" Jiang Chen shook his head expressionlessly. Rejected simply.
Bai Wanli saw that Jiang Chen had made up his mind and his voice was a little harsh, so he didn't dare to say any more words of advice. He could only talk to Jiang Chen about some local customs and things that needed attention.
Half an hour later, Jiang Chen saw that the old man was a little absent-minded, so he asked him to go back and rest first, and come back here tomorrow to teach him some local language.
When Bai Wanli saw that Jiang Chen refused the solicitation, he just wanted to report back to Master Chang Fang, so he seemed a little absent-minded. Seeing that Jiang Chen was so considerate of him, he withdrew without hesitation.
Jiang Chen couldn't help but let out a sigh as he watched the old man walk out and respectfully lead him to the door.
He already knows the general outline of this place. If he stays here for a long time, he will not only face the war with the ghosts and the deployment of him by Xingxing City, but also face the monsters that emerge from the sand from time to time, not to mention There was also the extremely terrifying sandstorm.
These factors dispelled his idea of staying here to wait for foundation building. Then he closed his eyes and quietly practiced his Qi.
But Jiang Chen only meditated for a short while when footsteps were faintly heard outside the door.
Although he didn't open the door, his consciousness had already drifted out, reflecting everything outside the door in his mind. It was the old man who left and came back, followed by Master Chang Fang, looking very worried.
Jiang Chen frowned slightly. He sighed secretly. It seemed that Chang Fangzhu hadn't understood his determination yet and wanted to give it another try.
If he hadn't been in this land of sand dunes, where everything was relatively unfamiliar, and if he had to find them in exchange for a map, he would have already used a spell to scare them away. But now that you are sitting on someone else's territory, don't seem too unkind.
Thinking of this, Jiang Chen didn't wait for the two of them to knock on the door, and his voice came to the door calmly: "You two, please come in! The door is not locked!"
Chang Fangzhu stepped forward and was about to open the door when he suddenly heard Jiang Chen's voice ringing in his ears. He was startled and looked back at Bai Wanli. But they immediately realized that it was Jiang Chen inside calling them in. So he hurriedly straightened his clothes, respectfully agreed, opened the door gently and walked in.
Jiang Chen had already stood up from the stool and was standing in the room with his hands behind his back.
"Master Immortal, I'm sorry to bother you. Master Chang wants to talk to you about that matter in person. Could you please Master Immortal give my master a chance?" Bai Wanli, through some previous contacts with Jiang Chen, He already knew that Jiang Chen was not the kind of person who liked to be muddled, so he simply stated his purpose directly.
After hearing this, Jiang Chen calmed down, glanced at the old man, and said with a smile: "Of course. However, I have made it very clear below. I hope your master will not force others to make things difficult for him!" Jiang Chen He had already made up his mind and showed an indifferent look.
Hearing what Jiang Chen said, Bai Wanli showed a bit of embarrassment, but he still explained it truthfully to Master Chang Fang.
After Chang Fangzhu heard this, his expression changed, but he immediately said a few words to the old man solemnly, which made Bai Wanli startled for a moment, with a strange look on his face.
Jiang Chen watched coldly from the side, with nothing strange on his face.
"Master Immortal Master! Our Fang Master said that as long as the Immortal Master is willing to help, the Shanyu tribe is willing to pay a large sum of spiritual stones as a reward, regardless of whether the matter is accomplished or not. And if the Immortal Master really wins the battle for the Gu family, Taicheng's business qualifications. Master Chang Fang is even willing to act as a guarantor for the outsider, the Immortal Master, to register with Xingxing City so that the Immortal Master can become the guardian Immortal Master of the Shanyu Tribe. Master Chang Fang also has many obligations of the Immortal Master in the land of sand dunes. I am willing to spend spiritual stones to help the Immortal Master escape. The most important thing is that with the name of protecting the Immortal Master from the mountain tribe, even if a war breaks out, the Immortal Master does not have to go to the front line immediately. "
When Bai Wanli finished saying these words, he looked a little dazed. It seems that Chang Fangzhu promised something extraordinary to Jiang Chen.
Jiang Chen was startled for a moment, touched his chin, and asked a little doubtfully: "I heard from my husband before that the land of sand dunes welcomes foreign monks to settle in? Why do we need a guarantor at this time?"
Although Jiang Chen's words did not contain any blame, they made Bai Wanli break out in a cold sweat. He thought he had not explained clearly, so he hurriedly said:
"Immortal Master has misunderstood! There are generally two types of monks in the land of sand dunes. One is the monks who are born and raised here for a long time, and the other is the monks from outside. Most of them are passing by or coming to do some things. They usually live there. They will leave in the last one or two years. Although Suxing City vigorously recruits such monks, there are not many left. Therefore, these kind of monks need to pay a certain amount of spiritual stones to Suxing City before they can check in. The other type is monks who are willing to live in the land of sand dunes for a long time. For this kind of monks, Suxing City values more. In addition to being able to live for a long time without paying spiritual stones, they will also receive some subsidies from Suxing City. However, there are corresponding responsibilities that must be borne, such as guarding trade routes, engraving guardian circles in tribes, and cooperating with Xingxing City in the event of war. Only after three years of voluntary work can you serve as a guardian immortal in various tribes or Taicheng. Teachers and other positions. However, in addition to the above two, there is another kind that foreign monks can directly serve as guardian immortal masters with the guarantee of the local tribe leader. In addition to obtaining a stable cultivation environment, this kind of monks can also obtain tribal The benefits of the offerings and the subsidies from Xingxing City are quite a lot. However, this situation is rarely seen, so I was negligent and did not mention this matter to the Immortal Master!"
Bai Wanli was afraid that Jiang Chen might misunderstand something, so he told everything in one breath.
After hearing this, Jiang Chen's expression darkened.
"According to what you said, it would be of great benefit to me to become a Guardian Immortal Master?" Jiang Chen said with some disbelief.
"That's not entirely true. Our Shanyu tribe has relatively thin spiritual energy because we have no spiritual veins. This is why many monks look down on us, which is why the Shanyu tribe has never had a guardian immortal. However, Suxing City still gave us Each tribe has the name of a guardian immortal master. As for the immortal master, most of the promises made by my family's master are so that the master can have less things to worry about and can focus on cultivation. If he can be qualified to practice business, my family's master said, When you earn spiritual stones in the future, you can even hire other monks to handle some matters within the tribe without disturbing the immortal master." The old man did not dare to hide it and explained the truth to Jiang Chen.
After hearing all this, Jiang Chen's expression became uncertain.
These regulations are obviously designed to stimulate competition among various tribes so that they can introduce more monks to the Dune Land!
He didn't pay much attention to whether the Shanyu tribe had spiritual veins. Because of the World Pearl, he especially needed a quiet and remote place to practice quietly. The Shanyu tribe's lack of spiritual veins would not attract the covetousness of other monks.
Jiang Chen frowned, lowered his head and walked back and forth in the room for a few steps. Then he looked up at the middle-aged man named Chang, who had a look of expectation on his face.
Seeing Chang Fangzhu's expression, Jiang Chen sighed and said slowly: "First of all, tell me what is going on in this business qualification competition meeting and what is the strength of the participants. I will take a look at the situation. Let’s see if we want to take action.”
Jiang Chen looked a little helpless, as if he had given the two of them great face.
Bai Wanli was overjoyed when he heard this and hurriedly explained the matter to Master Chang Fang, who couldn't help but make the other party also look ecstatic.
After Jiang Chen finished speaking, he thought to himself: "If these monks competing for the conference do not have the Qi-blood realm or the foundation-building stage, they should not lose to most people with their large number of spiritual talismans and several magic weapons! That's it! First, we can also wait in the mountain tribe for the foundation-building pill and Wuzu-dan to mature and build the foundation."
