At this time, Han Li was walking towards the counter where spiritual insect eggs were sold. Because this counter was in the most remote location, and it was the only counter on the entire first floor with no customers at all, it looked very unusual.
But the shopkeeper was so strange that he was actually taking care of two spiritual insects. Are insects so delicate? Still need to do nursing care?
.....................
Due to the recent reduction in the workload, Jiang Jingchen has become more and more leisurely. Yesterday, she learned from her Taoist companion Yu Wenqing that the sales of monster eggs have been very poor recently. She is considering whether to cancel the counter selling monster eggs. It happens that the elixir business has been very good recently. Okay, it can be changed to a pill counter.
Jiang Jingchen objected on the spot. The spiritual insect eggs sold over the counter were all high-quality products carefully cultivated by him and his insect friends. They were their pride and hard work. How could they be shut down just like they were?
In addition, in addition to completing tasks to obtain resources, he relies on this monster egg counter to subsidize him. This counter belongs to him completely, so the spiritual stones he earns are all his, and he does not need to hand them over at all. Although the business of this counter is bleak, but It is also an economic source.
His son Jiang Yun has suggested that he can provide training resources, but as a father, he also has self-respect, okay?
He wouldn't be polite if his son occasionally gave him something nice, but he couldn't bear to have his son support him for a long time. His wife Yu Wenqing said he was too hypocritical, but how can a woman understand a man’s self-esteem?
Therefore, Jiang Jingchen, who is the most powerful member of the Zhenfan Palace and a complete foundation-builder, personally took charge of the counter today.
He didn't believe that the spirit insect eggs he cultivated with his powerful spirit insect breeding ability would not be sold. It must be because the shopkeeper at the counter was slacking off.
But the result seemed to be different from what he imagined. Throughout the morning, there were customers at other counters one after another, but the counter at the Spirit Insect Egg counter was deserted. A total of two customers came and ran away after hearing the price.
Jiang Jingchen snorted at this. The spirit insect eggs he cultivated were of extremely high quality. Their vitality was much stronger than eggs of the same species. These people really didn't know what they were doing!
After a boring morning, only to receive cruel reality and a complimentary look from his wife, Jiang Jingchen finally decided to give up.
At this time, Jiang Jingchen released two Hidden Wind Cicadas and took out the maintenance equipment to give them comprehensive care. From the gaps in the carapace to every insect foot, he would not miss them. He would also coat their entire bodies with high-quality spiritual liquid. Enhance hardness and toughness.
Someone said that raising two Hidden Wind Cicadas by Jiang Jingchen was like raising a son, and he was right.
"I've met the shopkeeper!"
While Jiang Jingchen was caring carefully, a young voice sounded next to him.
Jiang Jingchen didn't even raise his head. He scanned it with his spiritual consciousness and said in a casual tone: "Young man, you can't afford the things I have here."
"No, no, I'm not buying anything. I, Han Li, have something to do and want to see Master Jiang Yun. By the way, I have this token!"
Jiang Jingchen glanced at the white jade token in Han Li's hand and stopped what he was doing, his expression becoming slightly serious. He stretched out his palm, and the white jade token fell out of Han Li's hand and landed in his palm.
After looking over the token and confirming that it was genuine, Jiang Jingchen looked at Han Li from head to toe and said, "This token will never be sold to outsiders. It will only be given to some friends. So far, only a dozen have been given out." , where did you get it?"
Han Li was suddenly shocked. He didn't expect this object to be so rare, and he was also very moved.
Han Li felt that he was just an ordinary mortal who was born in poverty. He didn't have many advantages except for his cautious personality and not being greedy. How could He De be favored by someone like Senior Jiang.
For a moment, a feeling of recognition emerged spontaneously.
However, Han Li had always kept his emotions and anger hidden. Although he was very excited in his heart, he hardly showed it on his face.
"To be honest with the shopkeeper, this token was given by a senior. He said that if you come to the Fan Building and show this thing, you will be treated as a courtesy. I happen to have something to ask Palace Master Jiang. Could you please let me know?"
Jiang Jingchen threw the token back to Han Li, and Han Li quickly caught it. At this time, Jiang Jingchen had put away Hidden Wind Chan, stood up, and walked toward the door.
"Boy, your name is Han Li, right? Come with me!"
Hearing Jiang Jingchen's greeting, Han Li put away the jade plaque and followed him quickly.
Han Li found that the shopkeeper seemed to have an extraordinary status. All the shop assistants and shopkeepers bowed respectfully when they saw him.
Han Li quickly followed Jiang Jingchen out of Fan Building and walked towards the manor directly opposite.
After several huge green spirit dogs saw Jiang Jingchen, they all ran to Jiang Jingchen and lay down obediently, whining and wagging their tails rapidly.
"Go, go, I am very poor and have nothing to feed you."
Jiang Jingchen said to Han Li: "These spirit dogs are raised by my family, but they are usually taken care of by my Taoist companion. There was also a three-tailed Lujun, but one time I accidentally forgot about it and almost starved to death, and was eventually killed. I returned them because I really don’t have time to take care of them.”
Noticing that Han Li was looking at the Green Wind Beasts from time to time, as if he couldn't bear to look away, Jiang Jingchen said, "You seem to be quite interested in them, do you like them? If you like them, I will give you a small one."
Han Li was actually very moved when he saw the majestic Qingfeng Beast, but when he thought about the previous conversation between the man and the woman and learned that these cubs were precious, he felt that he could not accept such a valuable thing.
In the end, Han Li waved his hand and said, "Thank you very much, shopkeeper, for your kindness, but such a powerful beast is beyond the reach of this younger generation!"
"You don't need to call me shopkeeper, just call me senior."
Jiang Jingchen shook his head: "These Qingfeng beasts are indeed good spiritual beasts. They are loyal to their masters, brave and good at fighting, and not picky about food. But after all, they are not too rare. The token you have is our Zhenfan Palace." I am an important guest, and I think your boy is quite pleasing to the eye. He looks like an honest kid at first glance, and he is nothing like a mere cub."
"Let me take a look... Well, this is the one I'll give you." Jiang Jingchen used his spiritual consciousness to observe the cubs, and quickly selected the one with the best coat color, eyes, and breath. , so he stretched out his hand and took it into his hand.
"Ouch! Ouch! Ouch~~wuwu,wuwu~~" The little guy was very energetic and kept struggling at the beginning. When he found a certain part, he let out a cry of grievance.
"Well, male!"
Jiang Jingchen then threw the struggling cub, which was holding the back of its neck, to Han Li, who subconsciously caught it.
Han Li looked at the cub in his arms and saw that the Green Wind Beast cub was only the size of a rabbit, probably only a month or two old. It had bright eyes, soft fur, and four white legs. Like snowflakes.
Han Li liked this little guy very much at first sight, but he was still embarrassed to accept it. He opened his mouth and politely refused: "This is too precious, senior, you should take it back!"
Jiang Jingchen opened his eyes and lied, and said in a normal tone: "Don't worry, accept it, this one has the worst qualifications, is inherently deficient, is worthless, and can't be sold at all!"
Jiang Jingchen is a casual person, and he will be generous when meeting people he likes, but he won't say a word to people he doesn't like, let alone give away cubs.
Although Han Li heard that the cub was innately inferior and worthless, he felt very energetic when looking at the cub in his arms, his eyes were very bright, and he felt a little confused.
Han Li was still a little embarrassed and wanted to return it, but it turned out that the shopkeeper had already walked some distance away, so he quickly followed him with the cub in his arms.
The several large Qingfeng beasts on the side not only had no objection to their master sending their cubs in, but even seemed very happy.
One of the female Qingfeng beasts raised her head and whined at the others, looking proud. It was the mother of the cub in Han Li's arms.
Another female Qingfeng Beast looked at the children playing in the distance and decided to starve them for a day. Who makes them not valued by their owners.
After trying twice to return the cub to no avail, Han Li finally accepted the little guy. He was actually very happy. At the same time, he remembered this kindness and decided to repay it in the future.
After walking not far, they arrived at the gate of the manor. Jiang Jingchen had a jade plaque on his waist. The jade plaque flashed with white light, and a light mask appeared where there was nothing. Soon the mask changed and appeared. A circular entrance and exit.
Han Li successfully followed Jiang Jingchen into the manor.
After entering the manor, Han Li found that it was very spacious, with many green plants and a large pond. Huh? There is also a giant red spirit frog basking in the sun.
All the monks coming and going were wearing white standard robes, and their energy and spirit were far beyond what the casual cultivators outside could compare with. Many of the monks exuded a murderous aura, which showed that they had killed many people.
When these members saw the senior who was leading the way, they all saluted respectfully, and the senior also greeted them without any pretense. There was even a young monk who asked the senior for advice on cultivation issues. This atmosphere made people feel very good.
At the same time, these people also looked curiously at Han Li, who was dressed as a casual cultivator. Some people looked at the cub in Han Li's arms with a hint of envy and desire in their eyes. However, Han Li, who was already dazzled, did not notice.
Jiang Jingchen began to introduce to Han Li.
"This is the headquarters of Zhenfandian. The previous Fanlou was just a place for business."
"Only formal members can enter this place. There are not many formal members in the organization, only about 600 people, but they are all experienced in martial arts and have clean and neat methods!"
"Our organization has very low requirements for peripheral members. As long as they are not too old, have reached the middle of the Qi training period, and have no major problems with their temperament, they can join. However, there are many rules after joining, and they need to complete the assigned tasks regularly. However, the organization has also been suspended recently. We’re recruiting peripheral members because there are enough manpower in each branch hall and resource point.”
"Although formal members have free tasks and good benefits, it is not easy to become a formal member. It is a test of cultivation and combat power. It also requires passing the interview with the palace master."
"Last year alone, there were 1,560 foundation-building monks who came for interviews. They were either from the seven major sects or from a big family. However, only a dozen people were finally allowed to join the organization after being personally interviewed by the palace master. At present, There are about fifty members in the foundation-building period of the organization."
"According to what the Palace Master said, it is better to be lacking than to be indiscriminate. Some monks are still very weak in the foundation building stage and are of no use at all. They will only waste the organization's resources and even delay the entire battle. He calls this kind of guy... .Call...pig teammate, yes, that's the word..."
"Recently, a group of people came from Jingzhou...I remember they were called reserve talents..."
Jiang Jingchen murmured softly: "I don't know how that kid came up with these words."
Jiang Jingchen coughed lightly and continued: "Those people are allowed to come here for training because of their excellent performance. Among them, those with the best performance can directly become full members, but there are only three places."
"Our organization has very strict requirements for formal membership. No one can ever use the back door!"
Han Li listened carefully and was very surprised when he heard that Zhenfan Palace had turned away many monks from the seven major sects.
When I heard that someone from Jingzhou was coming for training, I was a little excited. I made a note of it in my mind and prepared to finish today's business first, and then look for an opportunity to ask people.
Following Jiang Jingchen to the mission hall, Han Li discovered that every aura of the monks inside was extremely powerful, and some of them had no trace of cultivation at all. Han Li understood that these people should be seniors in the foundation building stage just like the shopkeeper.
Jiang Jingchen walked to a counter, took a photo of his identity jade tag, and then got a small bag from the counter staff.
"This is a low-grade spirit beast bag, given to you." Jiang Jingchen handed the spirit beast bag to Han Li and said casually.
Han Li naturally heard about the spirit beast bag after wandering around the stall area for a long time. He knew that a low-quality spirit beast bag required nearly fifty spirit stones, so he quickly declined, saying that he could buy it.
Although Han Li doesn't have a single spiritual stone on his body now, he has many older herbs that can be used to offset the problem.
Jiang Jingchen stuffed the spirit beast bag into Han Li's arms and said, "Don't worry, this is the internal price, it's very cheap. If you feel bad about it, just treat me to a drink of spirit wine later."
Han Li looked at Jiang Jingchen gratefully and said. "Thank you, senior. I will definitely treat you to drinks in the future!"
"Okay, I'll wait for your boy's spiritual wine, hahaha."
"You don't know how to use it?"
"This junior obtained a magic weapon for the first time..."
"It's very simple. First input your spiritual power into the spirit beast bag, then reach out and grab the cub and stuff it into it, or you can use the object control technique to grab something and stuff it in!"
"Thank you for your guidance, senior!"
Han Li easily put the Qingfeng Beast cub into the spirit beast bag and tied the spirit beast bag around his waist.
Afterwards, under the leadership of Jiang Jingchen, the whole journey was smooth, and he walked upstairs along the stairs, passing through the restrictions and arriving in front of a room.
However, Jiang Jingchen did not open the door directly but waited for a while. Soon the door opened and a female cultivator walked out.
Han Li had a hint of surprise in his eyes when he saw the female cultivator. Although this female cultivator was wearing the same white uniform as the other members, Han Li felt that this female cultivator was the most beautiful one he had ever seen in his life. Even Mo Caihuan and Even worse than that.
Seeing the female cultivator looking at him, Han Li quickly bowed his head slightly and saluted.
The female cultivator nodded slightly to Han Li, then walked up to Jiang Jingchen and saluted, "I've met you, sir!"
Jiang Jingchen patted Han Li on the shoulder and said, "This kid has a special membership token. If he wants to see Yun'er, take him in!"
The female cultivator looked at Han Li in surprise, showed a polite smile, and then said to Jiang Jingchen: "Sir, the three elders from Huang Maple Valley, Qingxu Sect, and Hiyue Sect have arrived at Tainan Mountain in advance and sent people to invite them. Master went to have tea, he went there in the morning, it's already noon now, he should be back soon."
Jiang Jingchen showed a puzzled expression and asked: "Isn't there still three months left? Why are you here so early? Are those monks in the pill formation stage very free?"
The female cultivator explained: "Master said that although it is fixed which sect the monks from the affiliated families of each sect enter, there are still some outstanding talents from some neutral families and casual cultivators. The elders and deacons of each sect will contact them in advance and arrange Discuss the ownership, so as not to look bad in front of outsiders when several factions compete for disciples during the Immortal Ascension Conference."
Jiang Jingchen couldn't help but sneered when he heard this. "In other words, all the outstanding ones have been decided in advance, and then we will go through the motions to create a prosperous scene where talents gather to join the seven major sects?"
"Can't we just take it away? I really don't mind the trouble. It would be great if a spiritual root suddenly pops up at that time. We can watch a good show of snatching each other!"
The female cultivator kept a smile on her face when she heard Jiang Jingchen's words, but did not express any opinion.
Jiang Jingchen shook his head and said jokingly: "You young people, you too, Yun'er too, and this kid also has a sullen face. Why are all of them so mature at such a young age? Well, this kid is so mature." Here you go, I’m leaving.”
"Sir, wait a moment. This spiritual wine is a gift from Qingxu Sect to the master. The master left it specially for you. I wanted to send it to you after I have processed the documents." The female cultivator took it out from the storage bag. A gourd was handed to Jiang Jingchen.
Jiang Jingchen opened the lid and smelled it, with an intoxicated expression on his face.
"Qingxu Sect's Seven Spirit Wine? This is a rare thing. I heard that it requires seven kinds of spiritual herbs as raw materials. It takes more than twenty years to brew it from the beginning to the finished product. Yun'er understood me and left."
Jiang Jingchen put it into his storage bag with a smile on his face, turned around and left decisively.
The female cultivator paid a thousand blessings to Jiang Jingchen and did not look back until Jiang Jingchen's back disappeared.
Afterwards, the female cultivator turned around and walked to the door, looked at Han Li, and said with one hand, "My friend, please come in."
"Thank you, senior."
Soon, Han Li followed the female cultivator into the room. Han Li, who was cautious by nature, began to observe the surroundings habitually.
He found that the layout of the room was simple, with a huge wooden table and chairs in the middle, and a large number of jade slips and papers stacked on the table.
Other than that, there are only a few pots of green plants, a coffee table, a few futons, and teacups on the coffee table.
The color of everything is not very conspicuous, and I didn't see any expensive items. It doesn't look luxurious at first glance.
But Han Li keenly noticed that all the items, even the teacups, exuded spiritual power, as if this set of teacups were magical artifacts.
Under the guidance of the female cultivator, Han Li was sitting on the futon in a short while, holding a tea cup in his hand, and a scent of tea wafted out of the cup. At the same time, his expression was a bit reserved.
Han Li felt the spiritual power in his body strengthened just after taking a whiff, and he immediately understood that this tea was not ordinary.
After looking at the elegant tea-sipping movements of the female cultivator sitting across from him, Han Li also subconsciously imitated it. After a while, he looked decent, but his body was a little stiff.
The female cultivator seemed to notice Han Li's nervousness, so she said in a gentle tone: "My little friend, you don't have to be so nervous. Since I have a special membership token, I am a distinguished guest of Zhenfan Hall."
"I can't ask you more about the reason why you are looking for the master of the palace, but as a distinguished guest, if you have any questions or requests, just ask them directly. To put it bluntly, there is nothing we can do in Zhenfan Palace in Yue Kingdom. There really aren’t many things going on.”
Looking at the female cultivator Han Li who was dressed as a casual cultivator, she smiled and said, "Even if you join the seven major sects, it will only be a matter of a letter to our Zhenfan Palace."
Yu Jiuxi's face showed strong confidence when she said this, and she was very curious about Han Li's answer.
Han Li was a little surprised after hearing this. He didn't expect to join the seven major sects so easily.
Since he came to Tainan Mountain, he realized that his spiritual roots were not very good, because he inquired about the spiritual roots and cultivation speed of many monks, and found that his cultivation speed without taking pills was faster than that of most casual cultivators. slow.
Therefore, it was basically impossible to pass the spiritual root test to join the seven major sects, and Han Li was still a little worried.
Because Jiang Yun had talked about his Five Spiritual Roots in the past, and everyone he met along the way was saying how amazing Jiang Yun's talent was, and that he would definitely reach Nascent Soul in the future, etc., Han Li once thought that the Five Spiritual Roots were the best qualifications in the world. .
Later, after communicating with others, he realized that the fact was completely opposite. Five spiritual roots were the worst qualification. It is best to have a single spiritual root.
Han Li was a little confused about this. Since Senior Jiang's qualifications were so poor, why did everyone say that Senior Jiang was so talented? ?
After hearing Yu Jiuxi's words, Han Li thought about it and shook his head and said, "Thank you very much, senior, for your kindness, but I have already received too many favors from Zhenfan Palace, so I won't bother you anymore."
After hearing this, the female cultivator looked at Han Li seriously and said to herself: "Looking like a lonely cultivator, I didn't expect that he has a lot of backbone, but it's me, Meng Lang."
The female cultivator cupped her fists at Han Li and said, "I underestimated my little friend. I apologize to you. My name is Yu Jiuxi, and Palace Master Jiang is my master."
Han Li was a little surprised when he heard Yu Jiuxi's answer. He didn't expect that this person was a disciple of Senior Jiang Yun. He quickly put down his tea cup and said in return: "Senior, you're welcome, I'm Han Li."
After that, the atmosphere of the two chatting was much more relaxed than before. As the founder of the Zhenfandian intelligence organization, Yu Jiuxi naturally knew how to talk.
Han Li learned that it was Jiang Yun's father who had just led the way, and was very surprised. Thinking that both father and son were so kind to him, he sighed that like a son, like a father!
Han Li was cautious in nature and only said that he came from a small village and became an immortal cultivator by chance. However, Han Li took the initiative to mention that he had a sister named Han Qianxun who was a reserve talent of Zhenfan Palace.
Yu Jiuxi informed Han Li on the spot of the training location for talent reserves, and gave Han Li a letterhead as a voucher so that Han Li could meet his sister.
Han Li accepted it gratefully, feeling that senior Jiu Xi was very friendly.
However, Han Li never disclosed anything about the Green Bottle or meeting Jiang Yun in Jingzhou.
