"Heh." Chu Liang showed a smile.
The person in front of me is named Hong Jufeng, the young master of Star Island in Donghai Town.
He was huge, sitting there like a small mountain of flesh, with a look of arrogance and fierceness between his brows. Someone dares to look so arrogant on Shushan Mountain without being beaten. Naturally, he has some background.
"How to add and how much to add need to be discussed." Lin Bei, who was next to him, suppressed his anger and spread his hands and said: "You can't be silent like this. It will be difficult for us to handle."
"It's difficult to handle, so don't do it."
Hong Jufeng stood up suddenly, without even looking at Lin Bei, and stared straight at Chu Liang: "We are here today to give you face, and we have quoted you any additional price. You don't want to increase money, but you also want to do things, so how can we Is there such a good thing?"
Chu Liang smiled and shook his head.
Zhenxing Island is a sect force, not just an island. They have at least nearly a hundred islands in the East China Sea, which is considered a huge scale.
It should be said that they were also a branch of the Tianxing Divine Sect at the beginning, and they were the Zhenxing lineage. However, after the Tianxing Divine Sect split...or maybe before, the Zhenxing lineage got together with Penglai Shangzong.
After the Tianxing Divine Sect fell apart, the Zhenxing lineage quickly moved to the East China Sea and occupied an island rich in resources as the foundation of the cave. If Penglai had not made arrangements in advance, I am afraid no one would believe it. As a typical example of "abandoning darkness and turning to light", Penglai Shangzong gave Zhenxing Island the greatest support.
Over the past few hundred years, Zhenxing Island's sphere of influence has expanded to what it is today. It can even be described as domineering in the East China Sea.
But they pledged their support to Penglai so clearly that when they recognized their new father, they would naturally make their old father unhappy.
Tianwang Sect, Tianshu Pavilion, and Haiwang Sect, which were all top-notch immortal sects belonging to the Tianxing Divine Sect, spared no effort to suppress Zhenxing Island, but as long as the Zhenxing lineage did not leave the scope of the East China Sea, Penglai would have Asylum, it's okay.
Therefore, a strange phenomenon was formed. Zhenxing Island's deterrent power within the East China Sea was comparable to that of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, and no one dared to provoke it. But outside the scope of the East China Sea, there is almost no such door.
In this way, they have been dominating the East China Sea. Originally, they were in harmony with Shushan.
But there is a Zhuoshan Islands under Zhenxing Island, which produces a kind of spiritual mineral called "Zhenshan Stone", which has always been a necessary spiritual stone for Xianmen to build spiritual buildings. Most of the income of Zhenxing Line comes from the sale of this Zhenshan Shiling Mine.
Originally, the demand for spiritual buildings among the Immortal Sects was not that high, and the price of Zhenshan Stone Mine has been very stable. Until a while ago, the phoenix-level buildings in Hongmian Peak were so brilliant that they sparked a wave of renovations. Shushan Civil Engineering Hall had been waiting for orders for several years. When they saw how much money they were making, Zhenxing Island couldn't sit still.
Just when Tumutang was about to throw off his arms and start working hard, news suddenly came from Zhenxing Island that the price of Zhenshan Shiling Mine needed to increase, and the increase was extremely outrageous, almost ten times higher than before.
This is no different than taking advantage of the situation.
Chu Liang then invited the other party to come to Hongmian Peak for negotiation, but he did not expect that the young master of Zhenxing Island would be quite unfriendly when he came.
"Young Master Hong, there is no need to be angry. You also know that you have increased the price of Zhenshan Shiling Mine so much. It is really difficult for us to accept it for a while." Chu Liang said slowly.
Not to mention that Hongmianfeng is currently in a tight financial situation. Even if it is rich, it is impossible for him to raise the price like this. Otherwise, every supply of raw materials will be robbed in the future, and business will not be done.
"If you must make profits from Tumu Tang's business, we can also discuss other ways of cooperation." His tone was still gentle, "For example, capital injection and dividend sharing."
"What do you mean?" Hong Jufeng sneered, and the fat on his jaw trembled, "You take our spirit stone mine, and we have to pay you? Chu Liang, let me tell you, I know how you started your business, and I know what happened to the last Hu Yanbin who cooperated with you. If you, Shushan, want a mountain-holding stone, just buy it according to the price, otherwise there is nothing to say!"
After saying that, he raised his legs and walked out of the house. Behind him, all the disciples of Zhenxing Island got up and followed.
"Actually, we can sit down and calculate this account carefully." Chu Liang smiled helplessly, still working hard.
"I have nothing to settle with you Shushan people!" Hong Jufeng snorted coldly and pushed the door open, "What a waste of time!"
Bang.
As the door opened, a domineering and cold face suddenly appeared outside.
Hong Jufeng was stunned. Before he could see the other party's face clearly, he was already kicked in the chest.
boom--
A mountain of meat passed through the banquet hall upside down, smashed through the window, flew across three streets, and slammed into the wall of a shop attic.
The store was hit hard but remained unflappable. Hong Jufeng, who had withstood all the force, fell to the ground and fell unconscious.
This is the charm of phoenix-level buildings.
The rather arrogant group of Zhenxing Island disciples following Hong Jufeng saw the power of the woman in front of them and instantly thought of a terrifying name. Looking around, no one dared to step forward.
Finally, everyone chased out from the window, shouting loudly: "Young Master!", "Young Master...", "Young Master!"
…
"What's so annoying?"
The woman watched the group of people leave, then frowned and was about to come in, still cursing.
That's right, she didn't know what happened just now, she just looked at him as an eyesore. This woman is naturally Feng, the princess of Yinjian Peak.
In Shushan, she dared to hit those who the headmaster did not dare to hit; she dared to touch those in Chu Liang who did not dare to touch.
"A... business partner." Chu Liang smiled sarcastically. He had noticed that the fat man was unhappy for a long time. At any rate, the master even took action, so he simply did not comfort him. Just giving Lin Bei a wink, Lin Bei took people to check the situation.
He himself quickly stood up to greet him and asked with a smile: "Master, are you in a bad mood?"
Not to mention him, even a blind man present could see that Emperor Feng had a look of anger on her face when she came in, and she obviously had a bad temper. So almost everyone followed Lin Bei when he left, for fear that staying here would become another punching bag for Emperor Daughter Feng's anger.
"Hmph!" Emperor Feng sat down, slapped the table, and shouted loudly: "Don't mention it, you'll make me angry!"
"What's going on?" Chu Liang asked hurriedly.
"I just helped Hongmianfeng to collect debts, and I met a very difficult guy." Emperor Feng frowned and said, "When I came back, I asked you to order all the troops to follow me and kill him!"
It turns out that funds have been tight in recent days, so Chu Liang mobilized his master to launch a new round of debt collection. If there are still debts owed to others outside, it is natural to collect the debts owed to oneself first.
Emperor Feng is a professional in this area. After her actions, all the immortal sects who owed money to Hongmian Peak cried and howled, and no one dared not to pay back the money.
But just now she suffered her first failure in her life.
The person who owes this debt is the Qoshan Talisman Sect. The leader is named Huan Leisheng, and he is a new powerful person who entered Taoism through Talisman.
Although his qualifications in the Seventh Territory are still relatively young, the way of talismans is ever-changing and the mountains of Qiang Mountain are complex, so Emperor Daughter Feng actually failed to catch him for a while.
In anger, she almost burned the entire mountain to the ground, but she still let Huan Leisheng escape, which was why there was such a fire.
When he came back to find Chu Liang Yaoren, he bumped into Hong Jufeng going out with an ugly face. He couldn't hold back the anger in his heart and kicked him out.
"Qoshan Talisman Sect?"
Chu Liang searched for information about this sect in his mind, but felt that he didn't know much. However, since Hongmian Peak gave the other party a loan, it should be the one that Chu Yi had reviewed at the beginning, and it must belong to a regular immortal sect with inheritance.
If he is a serious person, we are not afraid of him.
"To be able to escape from Master, it seems that this person is quite capable." Chu Liang also slammed the table, "Disciple, please order all the people, horses, eagles and dogs from Hongmian Peak, and follow Master to kill him!"
"Yes!" Princess Feng gritted her teeth and said, "I'm going to call Yan Zi and see if he can still run!"
"This..." Chu Liang hurriedly advised, "Using the eighth level warrior is overkill, right? How about we try again first?"
"Okay!" Emperor Daughter Feng Dun shouted, "Then you go and call for people now. It doesn't matter how many people there are... Bring a few more spiritual dogs. I don't believe he can run away from all over the world!"
A moment later, Emperor Daughter Feng, Chu Liang and Jin Maoyan all set out together to fight out of Shu Mountain again.
Although for the sake of stability, Master Wen Yuan had asked Chu Liang not to leave Shushan for the time being. But there is only one who can be a thief for a thousand days, and there is no one who can guard against thieves for a thousand days. Chu Liang cannot stay away from the mountain for the rest of his life.
When Chu Yi left a while ago, he also gave him a reminder. Although the real body cannot go down the mountain, it does not mean that the external avatar cannot walk.
Now when Chu Liang goes out with his master, it is an external incarnation.
In fact, after many great powers reach a certain level in cultivation, they will walk in avatars unless it is necessary to come in person. The external incarnation is no different from the real body in terms of realm, magical powers, etc., except that some magic weapons are inconvenient to carry with you.
The reason why Chu Liang wanted to come in person was because he knew something about the way of runes after all, and with his current level of cultivation, he should be able to help.
Moreover, if he didn't keep an eye on it, he would be worried that his master would get angry and flatten the entire mountain stretching for hundreds of miles, which would have too bad an impact.
Qoshan Mountain is located in the middle of the Southern Territory. There are several villages and towns around the mountain with many people. However, there are high mountains and deep ridges, and there are few human traces. It is said that there are many immortals here.
Everyone in the world of cultivating immortals knows that Mount Qiang is where the Fulu Sect’s cave is located.
When Chu Liang arrived, what he saw was no longer a lush mountain, but a dark, bare continuous scorched earth.
"I knew it……"
Chu Liang couldn't help but feel frightened when he looked at the mess. Where Master wants to settle accounts, it would be light if not a blade of grass grows.
…
The master and the apprentice pressed down their heads and came to the mountain gate of Fulu Sect.
but……
There is no mountain gate left.
Here you can vaguely see the appearance of a pavilion building that once existed, but now only a barren mountain wall remains. The former buildings may have been built against the mountain, so now there is a huge black hole in the mountain.
"This is where the phantom thunder creature escaped with runes and merged into the mountain." Emperor Daughter Feng said, "Although I dug through the mountain wall, I still couldn't find any trace of him."
"Go and smell it." Chu Liang scattered the golden fur.
The big head let out a cry and leapt to the middle of the mountain wall, looking for traces of people in the burning smell.
It can now be regarded as a sixth-level spiritual beast with a strong cultivation level. With the tip of its nose sniffing, it quickly found a clue and walked along the hollow in the mountain. It led the master and apprentice through the mountain wall and came from the other side. One side jumped out, where a mountain waterfall was falling.
The rumbling sound continued. Emperor Feng glanced at her and said, "Did that guy hide in the water at that time?"
"No..." Chu Liang glanced at it for a few times, but suddenly shook his head and said: "This is fake."
After that, he waved his hands repeatedly, and the waterfall and river in front of him was actually deconstructed under the light of his hands, turning into things that looked like inscriptions and spread out.
"Is this an illusion?" Emperor Feng frowned.
"No, it's just a terrain derived from runes." Chu Liang said: "If it is a pure illusion, how can it be hidden from you, Master? This person has a very high level of attainment in the way of runes, so he can escape like this."
It turns out that the phantom thunder student can recreate the terrain with runes and cover his escape at any time. It's no wonder that the master's cultivation level didn't capture him.
"This entire Qiang Mountain is a rune array, just like his own secret realm." After Chu Liang looked around, he finally came to the conclusion: "He almost has the power of creation here. If he wants to do this, Even a strong person in the eighth level would have no chance of finding him."
"What should we do?" Emperor Feng asked.
"It is not easy to build this place successfully. He has spent so much effort to build this place, and he must not be willing to give up like this." Chu Liang said: "If we only destroy some peripheral terrain, he won't care a little bit anyway. The evolution runes can regenerate. But if we destroy the foundation of his formation, he probably won't be able to sit still."
As he spoke, Chu Liang's eyes dimmed slightly. The spiritual consciousness follows the rune spiritual veins here and deconstructs the formation all the way.
After he obtained the Talisman of Transformation from Futian Master's secret realm, although he did not focus exclusively on the Tao of Talisman, he was deeply involved in the mysteries of this Tao. It is not difficult to break through this formation at this moment.
Not long after, the master and apprentice followed the spiritual veins in the mountain and came to a mountain stream.
"The real core of the talisman formation is under this mountain stream." Chu Liang said: "Master only needs to cut off this stream to destroy his great formation."
This rune array is quite strong, and it is not easy to destroy the foundation of its spiritual veins. But with Master here, these physical tasks are not a problem.
"Haha..." The emperor's daughter Feng laughed ferociously, and immediately rolled up her sleeves to take action.
I heard a sudden cry for mercy not far away: "You two, you two, please show mercy!"
With a hiss, the light flashed.
A figure of a middle-aged man in a wide robe and long sleeves emerged from the mountain stream. This man was wearing a small silk cap, and his appearance was delicate and elegant, with a bit of a scribe's temperament. At this moment, looking at the master and disciple who want to destroy everything here, their eyes are full of helplessness.
I thought that the Emperor's daughter Feng was already overbearing enough, and I finally got rid of her. I didn't expect that she could come back with some brains after returning to Shushan.
Isn't this a scam?
…
After a while, the middle-aged man sat on the ground with a dejected face.
"I am the leader of the Fu Lu Sect, Huan Lei Sheng." He muttered, "Knowing that Shushan Emperor Daughter Feng is coming to collect debts, I have sent dozens of my disciples away one after another. But I really can't abandon this place. It’s because of Shan Jiye that I stay here alone.”
"This Qoshan rune formation is really exquisite, and Master Huan Lei Sheng is a great talent in this way." Chu Liang praised it.
"I just didn't want to meet Chu Shaoxia. As expected, he got the inheritance from Futian Master's secret realm." Huan Leisheng said with envy.
It turns out that when a secret realm appeared at the old site of Fu Xian Sect, they, the Fu Lu Sect, also wanted a share of the pie.
If we seriously calculate, the ancestors of the Fu Lu Sect can only be regarded as a small branch of the ancient Fu Xian Sect. However, when the inheritance of the Fu Xian Sect is almost cut off, they already have the most complete inheritance.
But the Fu Lu Sect is a small family with no right to speak.
In the end, Fu Tianshi's secret realm was controlled by several Nine Heavens and Ten Earths Immortal Sects, and became a place for their own sects to train young people. Chu Liang had also received inheritance such as the Transformation Talisman from it before.
Huan Leisheng had also heard about this matter.
"It's just a fluke." Chu Liang smiled and waved his hand.
"Young Master Chu is extremely talented, so there is no need to be too modest." Huan Leisheng complimented with a smile.
"You laugh again!" The emperor's daughter Feng looked displeased and shouted.
Huan Leisheng immediately kept a straight face and did not dare to smile again.
"Are we here to chat with you?" Emperor Feng said sternly: "We have spent so much effort, and you should add 30% interest on the debt you owe!"
Upon hearing this, Huan Leisheng immediately cried and said, "Master Feng, Young Master Chu, let alone the extra percentage, our Fu Lu Sect really has no food reserves at all..."
"Mr. Huan, the amount of debt you owe is not small." Chu Liang said helplessly, "If it's just a small sum of money, it doesn't matter whether we take it or not. But if you owe such a large amount of debt and don't pay it back for three months, why are you complaining about your poverty? , but it’s a bit too much.”
"But this is also the truth, Young Master Chu. Let me tell you the truth, I owe so much money for my own reasons." Huan Leisheng said.
"Nonsense!" Emperor Feng glared, "Whoever owes money has no reason to worry, I don't want to hear it!"
"Master, please give it a listen." Chu Liang advised from the side, "Calm down your anger for the time being. I don't think Mr. Huan is an unreasonable person. Even if he can't come up with the spirit stone coins, he must be able to come up with something. Pay off the debt with something else.”
"What can he have if he looks so poor?" Emperor Feng said loudly: "Don't stop me, let me kill his whole family!"
"Master! We are seeking money, so try not to kill yourself!" Chu Liang said loudly.
"..."
"Alas!" Looking at the two of them singing in harmony, Huan Leisheng finally let out a long sigh: "You two, please come with me."
Immediately, he waved his hand and separated the two sides of the mountain stream in front of him, revealing a deep cave and led the two of them down.
Walking down the cave all the way to the depths, there is a shining place at the very bottom. There is a round jade table in the shape of a wheel, with various runes engraved on it.
"Young Master Chu, this is the artifact that I spent twenty years building... the Talisman Sky Disk!" Huan Leisheng pointed at the roulette wheel with pride on his face, "If I hadn't made this thing, why would I have spent so much money? resources and huge debts?”
"What is this?" Chu Liang looked at the mysterious thing and asked aloud.
"The existing talismans in the world are all drawn by hand and attuned with spiritual power. How slow?" Huan Leisheng raised his hand and explained to Chu Liang: "As long as I successfully build this talisman plate..."
As he spoke, he pulled out a blank yellow talisman paper with one hand and placed it on the roulette wheel with a shaking hand.
call out--
The wheel rotated and the talisman's inscription was instantly engraved onto the talisman paper, and a bright red talisman took shape in an instant.
"It takes just a moment to create a talisman, and different combinations of runes can produce different effects. At that time, only one person will be required to guard the talisman plate, and the speed of refining the talisman can rival that of a thousand people! Young Master Chu, how dare you Imagine that scene?”
"Are you just going to use this crap to pay off your debt?" Emperor Feng looked at the Fu Tianpan in front of her and asked.
"I can't give this to you!" Huan Leisheng said: "This is my lifeblood! But... if you lend me some more money, I can transfer part of the income from the Futian Pan to you."
"You still dare to put forward conditions?" Emperor Nvfeng didn't like this old boy at first, but now she saw that he was still mumbling, and she couldn't hold it back any longer.
Just when she was about to explode, Huan Leisheng saw Tai Nai standing by a yellow spring waving to him.
Chu Liang, who had been thinking about it for a long time, suddenly said categorically with the radiance of the Talisman Heavenly Disk in his eyes:
"This project...I voted for it!"
good evening.
I'm almost healed now. I'll try to get there early tomorrow.
