Li Changsheng soon arrived at the small town at the foot of Tianxing Sect Mountain. His current cultivation level is in the middle stage of foundation building. In order to better inquire about the information, he deliberately suppressed his cultivation level, so as not to awe the monks in the town due to his excessive cultivation level and prevent him from approaching them. Get useful information.
After Li Changsheng stepped into the town, he found that the mortals here were bustling, but the monks seemed to be relatively rare. Li Changsheng's eyes fell on a shop specializing in demon pills, and he walked in. In the store, a middle-aged monk on the ninth level of the Qi Condensation Stage raised his head drowsily. When he saw a guest coming in, he suddenly smiled, stood up and greeted warmly: "Senior, please sit down quickly."
After a while, the middle-aged monk came to Li Changsheng's seat carrying a pot of fragrant spiritual tea. He enthusiastically introduced the various categories of demon pills in the store to Li Changsheng, down to the details of the price of each demon pill.
Li Changsheng smiled and invited: "Fellow Taoist, if you are not busy, can you sit down and introduce it to me slowly? I am not in a hurry and hope to learn more about it." Li Changsheng's tone was gentle, giving people a comfortable feeling. Feel.
The middle-aged monk saw that Li Changsheng had no pretensions to the Foundation Establishment monk and seemed very friendly, so he happily sat opposite Li Changsheng. He began to talk endlessly, with a confident smile on his face, as if his knowledge of demon pills was unparalleled.
After some exchanges, Li Changsheng learned that the monk's name was Wang Yuetian and he was a disciple of the Tianxing Sect. This shop also belongs to the Tianxing Sect, and all the monk shops in the town are the property of the Tianxing Sect. However, what confused Wang Yuetian was that the names of these shops were all different. He couldn't figure out why the sect had such diverse names for the shops.
"Fellow Daoist Wang, I am a foreign monk who came all the way from Wuzhou Continent. I don't know much about this place. I hope that Friend Wang will give me some advice and help Li solve some of his doubts." After Li Changsheng said this, he took out 5,000 yuan for the middle-level Lingshi bought a few demon pills. In addition, Li Changsheng also gave Wang Yuetian an additional hundred intermediate spirit stones as a reward for his introduction.
"Hahahahaha..."
Wang Yuetian smiled and said: "Senior Li is too polite. Everyone is not too busy during this period and has plenty of time. As long as fellow Taoist Li is willing to spend time listening to my chat, I will feel honored." After saying that, he carefully said Put the spirit stone away.
"Senior Li may not know something. During this period, it is forbidden to go out to sea to hunt monsters, so small towns like ours are particularly peaceful. However, those larger towns may be a little busier because their inventories are larger. If there are more monks, it will attract more monks." Wang Yuetian explained, with some helplessness in his tone.
"Our town was just a small fishing village at first. It wasn't until our ancestors came here to establish the Tianxing Sect that it became prosperous today. However, compared to some of the surrounding sects, our Tianxing Sect's strength is still inferior. . They have at least two Yuanying monks, while our sect only has one ancestor who is in the middle stage of Yuanying." Wang Yuetian said calmly.
Li Changsheng said with emotion: "You are still very powerful in Yunhai Continent. Even the border towns here have Nascent Soul cultivators stationed there. It's really amazing. I wonder if there are usually fights between your sects?"
"How can fights be avoided? When we go out to sea to hunt monsters, fierce fights often occur in order to snatch resources. Our Tianxing Sect is small in size, with only more than a hundred people, and there are only three pill-forming monks, so We are often bullied by several surrounding sects. After all, their strength far exceeds that of our Tianxing Sect, and there is nothing we can do about it. However, the situation seems to have improved a lot in the past few years."
Li Changsheng immediately asked: "Fellow Daoist Wang, why has the situation improved so much in the past few years? Is it because there are new Nascent Soul monks in the sect?" Li Changsheng's tone was full of doubts, hoping to get more information.
"I'm not very clear on the specific reasons, but according to the descriptions of some senior brothers and sisters, it seems that the ancestors and several other sects reached some kind of agreement, which calmed down these fights. The sects also warned us to try not to fight with Fights broke out among other sects.”
"Well, these are all matters that their senior officials worry about. We ordinary monks still don't know much about it. I'd better guard my one-third of an acre of land and avoid punishment." When Wang Yuetian said this, his face showed a smile. With a helpless smile, it was obvious that he didn't know much about the battles between sects and high-level decision-making.
"You think so, Senior Li?" Wang Yuetian chuckled.
Li Changsheng nodded and smiled and said: "What Fellow Daoist Wang said is absolutely true. It's already getting late, so I won't disturb Fellow Daoist Wang. While there is still some time, I will go to other places to find out the prices of surrounding materials." After that, Li Changsheng stood up and said goodbye.
Li Changsheng found a relatively secluded place on a nearby mountain and opened a temporary cave. A stacked immortal formation was also arranged to ensure the safety and privacy of the cave. Then, he began to sort out the information he had just obtained, hoping to get more clues from it.
After burning the incense, Li Changsheng sorted out all the information and found that it was not much different from the information provided by Jiuzhou Trading Company. It seems that the information given by Jiuzhou Commercial Bank is quite reliable, which makes Li Changsheng feel relieved a lot. His trust in Jiuzhou Commercial Bank has increased a little, and he will not have too many worries about the next actions.
The only thing that currently worries Li Changsheng is the certain agreement that Wang Yuetian just mentioned between Tianxing Sect and other sects. This may be the only variable that Li Changsheng knows so far, making it impossible for him to completely predict the future direction. The specific content and purpose of this agreement are not yet clear, but it may have a certain impact on Li Changsheng's plan, so he has to take it into consideration.
Li Changsheng explained all the collected information, including every detail, to Taoist Lingxu, hoping to get Taoist Lingxu's opinions and suggestions. Li Changsheng's narrative is very detailed, and every detail is fully explained so that Taoist Lingxu can better understand and evaluate the current situation.
Taoist Lingxu was silent for a moment, and after careful consideration, he finally gave his suggestion, "My friend, according to the situation you described, Tianxing Sect has probably joined forces with other sects. If we follow the strategy of courtesy first and war later proposed by Jiuzhou Trading Bank, I'm afraid that we will encounter trouble. Once someone comes to support us, we will be passive. Therefore, I believe that it would be simpler and more effective to kill them decisively. At least it will catch them off guard. Even if there are rescues from other sects, you will have enough time to evacuate.”
Li Changsheng was also worried at this moment. If he was polite first and then sent troops, other sects might quickly come to support him, and he would be in great trouble. Therefore, although killing directly is an option, it still requires careful planning. At the very least, you must first try to sneak into the sect. It is obviously not feasible to forcefully break into the mountain guarding formation, and more careful arrangements and strategies are needed.
In the end, Li Changsheng and Taoist Lingxu reached an agreement and decided that the first task was to sneak into the Tianxing Sect and find the Nascent Soul monk. In the eyes of Li Changsheng and Taoist Lingxu, even the location of the target person has not been determined, and any plan is empty talk without any practical significance. Therefore, Li Changsheng decided to find this Nascent Soul monk first and then make a detailed plan based on the specific situation. Such a decision made Li Changsheng's actions more targeted.
