Due to geographical differences, the customs and customs of each country are also different. The farther north you fly, the higher the temperature. This is what Chen Mo has learned from his travels these days.
Just five days ago, Chen Mo was still wearing a robe, but after crossing Beishanguan, he had already changed into a cardigan with a collar, which was quite refreshing.
"This is much more pleasing to the eye..."
The handsome man walking with Chen Mo said with a chuckle.
In the evening, they landed in a deserted mountain. A handsome man lit a bonfire, leaned in front of a big tree hugged by many people, and said to Chen Mo: "Fellow Chen, Ningyang County is about five hundred miles ahead. Okay, I would like to thank you for your generous actions along the way!"
"It's just a piece of cake, no need to worry about it." Chen Mo waved his hand and said.
It turned out that not long after Chen Mo came out of Blackstone Fishing Village, he encountered a group of demon cultivators fighting. The person being besieged was this handsome man. Seeing that the situation was critical, Chen Mo, with the mentality of understanding some of the situation, took action to kill several demon cultivators. He ran away and rescued him.
Of course, the cultivation he showed was only at the tenth level of Qi Refining.
Through some insinuations, Chen Mo got the answer he wanted.
The blue token is one of the three major sects in the Wei Kingdom, the recruitment order of Sunset Valley. With it and a guarantor, you can join this sect. The yellow token is for the Jiusha Palace. The name is somewhat similar to the magic way. But in fact, it's just the opposite. With the help of evil energy, it can explode with powerful combat power at the same level. It is also the strongest righteous sect in Wei.
What Chen Mo got during the robbery was the recruitment order of the Fuyun Sect. The sect is located in the Xuanwu Mountains of Wei State. It usually keeps a low profile and is not well-known in the world of cultivation. I don’t know if it’s because they are hidden deep enough or because It's only what it seems.
The Fuyun Sect is the easiest to complete among the three recruitment orders, and is usually the first choice for most casual cultivators. The couple killed by Chen Mo are no exception.
As for more news, Chen Mo had his own considerations and didn't ask in detail.
After a night of silence, the two said goodbye in the morning. The handsome man gave Chen Mo an entry and exit token for Ningyang County. In such a large city, cultivators in the inner city need to register when they come in and out, but one advantage is that they only recognize The token does not recognize anyone. Chen Mo can save some time by getting this token.
The architecture of Wei's city tends to be porous. An ordinary attic can actually have more than forty windows. Chen Mo walked on the streets of Ningyang County and looked around at the mortals around him. They were as refreshing as his clothes.
There were even a few scantily clad women passing by, but the people here seemed to be used to it and didn't even look at them, which made Chen Mo secretly laugh.
Looking for the fluctuations of spiritual power in Ningyang County, Chen Mo walked into an attic in the central area. There, there was a simple magic circle similar to the Green Demon Valley in operation, spewing out some pink mist from time to time, which was quite mysterious. .
In the east and west corners of the room, there were two Qi Refining monks guarding each other. They were sitting cross-legged and meditating. When someone walked in and was about to speak, Chen Mo shook the token in his hand. The two nodded with satisfaction and then left. Get up and take care of him.
Chen Mo embedded the token in the groove of the teleportation array without even taking a breath. When he opened his eyes again, he had already arrived in the inner city, a trading city exclusive to cultivators.
There were also monks guarding this room. Chen Mo left quickly. As soon as he walked out of the door, he was blocked by a female monk. She handed the simple jade slip in her hand to Chen Mo and said softly: "Fellow Taoist, please stay. The shop information in Ningyang’s inner city is all here, take a look, I won’t accept your spirit stones!”
She not only gave it to Chen Mo, but also handed over a jade slip to all the monks who came in. Some of them accepted it silently, while some of the monks didn't even look at it and just strode away.
Chen Mo happened to need a map, so he didn't refuse and directly put the jade slip on his forehead. After a few breaths, he stepped out of it.
Within the jade slip, the shops and locations in the inner city of Ningyang are clearly marked. The most glorious one is the Tianding Chamber of Commerce that spans the seven countries. They are also the makers of this jade slip.
And there is a small reminder in the jade slip: if you enter the chamber of commerce with the jade slip, you can also taste a cup of spiritual tea for free.
"How can the spiritual tea from Tianding Chamber of Commerce be so delicious..."
Chen Mo smiled bitterly at this. He had been here for three years and knew that these sellers were very capable. As long as they joined their chamber of commerce, there was no deal that could not be facilitated. Just a cup of spiritual tea. It has long been earned back in it.
And the place he was going to on this trip was not the Tianding Chamber of Commerce, but a shop on another street called Bifeng Pavilion.
Like the Tianding Chamber of Commerce, it is a shop with a large power behind it, and the things it sells are also quite special. Most of them are information, the haunts of rare monsters, or the general locations of certain heavenly materials and earthly treasures. The accuracy is extremely high. High, deeply loved by cultivators.
There are also rumors that Bifeng Pavilion's main business is to accept assassination missions, but no one has actually purchased one, and Bifeng Pavilion has also denied it, so this statement has gradually been classified as a rumor. .
There are not many cultivators in the inner city of Ningyang. It may be that the incident in Luofeng Valley was too big, which caused the rogue cultivators to be weak now. Chen Mo only walked around for a stick of incense and met only as many cultivators as he could use on his hands. .
It didn't take long for him to arrive at the door of the shop, and the waiter led him into the store. A plump young woman in a red dress greeted Chen Mo. She did not feel disgusted by Chen Mo's ugly appearance and led him somewhere. They sat facing each other in the box, poured a cup of tea, and whispered softly: "I wonder what news this fellow Taoist wants to inquire about when he comes to Bifeng Pavilion?"
Chen Mo asked: "How many spiritual stones does one piece of news cost?"
"It depends on what question the fellow Taoist asked. I will tell you the price before answering." The young woman in the red dress said politely.
Chen Mo nodded: "Then the information I asked will be kept confidential?"
The young woman in the red dress chuckled: "Of course, this is the foundation of our Bifeng Pavilion."
"Very good, then I would like to ask your Majesty about the cause and effect of the incident in Luofeng Valley. This news shouldn't be a secret, right?"
"So that's what happened." The young woman in the red dress said, "It seems that my Taoist friend has been in seclusion for a long time and met some demonic monks on the way to Ningyang County, right?"
Chen Mo pretended to be surprised and said: "Why...why do you know so well?"
The young woman in the red dress chuckled and said, "Fellow Taoist, you can know the answer with ten spiritual stones."
The latter didn't waste any time and directly took out ten spirit stones on the table. The young woman in red dress then explained the follow-up of Luofeng Valley. It was similar to what Chen Mo knew before, but some parts were more detailed.
From her mouth, Chen Mo also learned a very bad news for him, that is, the border between the seven countries is now heavily guarded by both good and evil forces. It is not easy to pass through normally. He originally The vision of returning to Chu State via Yan State failed in the face of reality!
"...Each country has a small group of demonic monks that roam around, specializing in hunting down some nameless and unsectful cultivators. This can be regarded as a contribution to the sect, but the righteous side has not yet sent out corresponding monks to respond. , I don’t know how the top management made the decision.”
After listening to the answer, Chen Mo took a deep breath to calm down, and continued to ask: "Before the casual cultivator conference begins, there is a group of foundation-building monks who jointly hunt for treasures. Do you know the location of the treasures and their whereabouts?"
The young woman in the red dress glanced at him in surprise and said, "This news has not spread widely yet, and the price is 40 spiritual stones."
"Senior Biying here has given me some opportunities. Before he left, he said he wanted to explore a dangerous place near the rogue cultivator conference. I just want to know if he is still okay."
Chen Mo seemed to have read what the young woman in the red dress was thinking, and named the person Sun Xing mentioned in a conversation with him. He did not want this kind of organization to know about the relationship between him and Sun Xing, so as not to be taken advantage of by someone with ulterior motives.
"Tell me, I want more details!" Chen Mo seemed to really consider the safety of Senior Biying when he took out forty spiritual stones.
The young woman in the red dress took it with a smile and said: "Fellow Taoist, there is no need to explain like this. We will never inquire about the origins of fellow Taoist."
After that, she continued:
"The location of the secret is located in Lingwu Peak, a dangerous place in the Yan Kingdom. It is the place where a monk in the middle stage of Nascent Soul rests. This group of foundation-building casual cultivators broke in in order to find an opportunity. Among them, Feng Yuanye, a master of formations, Sun Xing, the pure old man, Biying, a monk with advanced cultivation... The casual cultivators from the seven countries gathered here, and they seem determined to win this place."
When Chen Mo heard the words "Old Man Qingjing", even though he was prepared, his eyelids couldn't help but twitch. Fortunately, the young woman in the red skirt was more focused on speaking and didn't notice his expression.
"We don't know the process. We only know that everyone fled in panic and lost nearly half of the manpower. The senior Biying whom fellow Taoist wanted to ask about was seriously injured and lost his trace. The same must be true for others." Hongqun. The young woman finished answering Chen Mo's second question.
Chen Mo's heart sank. He knew that Sun Xing was not good at fighting. Even Biying, the strongest member of the team, was seriously injured. The best case scenario was just to come back alive. Besides, it was not certain whether he would be able to stay in Xianyun Valley. .
Moreover, the barriers on the borders of the seven countries could not be removed for a while, the whereabouts of the master were unknown, and his own situation could not support Chen Mo's delay for so long, so he abandoned the first plan directly.
"The third question is, I picked up a recruitment order on the road, and I also know who the guarantor is. Will he still vouch for me now that the original owner has been changed?"
What this said is more interesting. The recruitment order is so easy to pick up. The young woman in the red dress still doesn't understand. The person in front of her must have played a murderous and treasure-grabbing trick and took for herself what the previous monks had worked so hard for. Yes, but I was afraid that the attempt would be in vain, so I came here to ask first.
The young woman in the red dress said: "It takes fifty spiritual stones to answer this question."
"Okay." After Chen Mo paid the spirit stone, the latter said eloquently: "The recruitment order does not ask for its origin. No matter who completes the task, he is qualified to join the sect. Fellow Taoists don't have to worry about this."
The recruitment order task in Chen Mo's hand was completed to the standard of two people. If the sect checked it, it would definitely not pass. When he heard what she said, Chen Mo couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief and continued to listen to her next words.
"As for the guarantor, he needs to complete some of his commissions before he can agree. Fellow Taoist, someone has already been guaranteed, so you can just go to them directly. Most monks will accept this fact by default." The young woman in red dress gave up completely. Allayed the doubts in Chen Mo's heart.
After Chen Mo asked all the questions he wanted to know, he spoke again: "In this case, I wonder if you can help me find someone? The price is easy to talk about..."
...
That night, Chen Mo found the old man who vouched for Qian Huayi and Mei Zhen in an inn in the inner city of Ningyang. The two were in the same room, and he presented the jade slip to them.
This old man with gray hair and beard is a cultivator in the early stage of foundation building and the second elder of a vassal family of the cultivation sect. Since the recruitment order was launched, these nominal sect affiliates have made a lot of money.
"Boy, I am very dissatisfied with you. You are one day later than the scheduled date. Secondly, the ones I guaranteed before were Gan Huayi and Mei Zhen. Where did you come from as a monk?"
The old man took the jade slip, glanced at Chen Mo with his consciousness, and spoke leisurely, with the utmost propriety.
Chen Mo said seriously: "Senior Li, the two of them have temporarily changed their minds and do not want to join the sect. However, because they are familiar with me, they specifically transferred the quota to me, so..."
"Nonsense!!"
Before Chen Mo finished speaking, the old man surnamed Li slammed the table: "Can the person I vouch for be replaced at will? How come they don't understand the rules so much! I'm sorry that I can't vouch for you. Please be wise!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the old man stood up and wanted to leave, but Chen Mo quickly stopped him: "Senior Li, please calm down. He and his wife also felt that this was inappropriate, so they specially entrusted me to compensate senior with some apology. I hope you will accept it!" "
As he spoke, Chen Mo took out the 200 spirit stones wrapped in the storage bag and quietly placed them on the table, waiting for the Foundation Establishment monk's next words.
Including the spiritual stones spent on the previous inquiry and the benefits given to the old man named Li, Chen Mo only had a dozen low-grade spiritual stones left in his storage bag, which was terrible.
Seeing this bulging pack of spirit stones, the anger of the old man surnamed Li immediately disappeared without a trace. There was no need for these spirit stones to complete their family's mission. Although the boy in front of him didn't look very good, he was quite generous. Well!
"Forget it, since the two of them are sincerely sending each other off, how can I have the heart to refuse them? Just find a room to stay and follow me to the Fuyun Sect early tomorrow morning!"
The old man surnamed Li calmly put away the package of spiritual stones, patted Chen Mo on the shoulder, said with some relief, and immediately walked out of the house, no longer embarrassing him.
