The 409th return to Jiashan Town, and then accept apprentices
On the official road of the Pingchun Continent, countless caravans come and go every day, and the vehicles of each caravan range from tens to thousands, and the accompanying personnel range from tens to tens of thousands. Some caravans were trading squads composed of ordinary people, who only walked between nearby towns; There were also caravans of low-ranking monks who could trade from city to city; There are also caravans of monks from the Mystic Realm, who can trade between states; In order to carry out cross-domain trade, it is necessary to have the top chamber of commerce, and only the top chamber of commerce can support the cross-domain business network, because each cross-domain trade takes years or even decades.
The caravans of the Great Chamber of Commerce are not only engaged in the business of trading goods, but also in the business of transporting people. I followed a caravan from the White Dragon Chamber of Commerce from Hengyu Tangzhou to Phantom Golden State.
This caravan has more than 300 vehicles and more than 400 caravan attachΓ©s, all of whom are monks of the mysterious realm, carrying more than 100 passengers. The goods transported by the caravan were carried by the core attachΓ© with space rings, and the vehicles only carried people, not goods, and the guests were in the middle of the coach. All vehicles are engraved with Great Avenue Runes to conceal outside detection. Of course, if I wanted to, these avenue masking methods would be easy for me to crack. However, I didn't bother to look into the individual vehicles. Who was sitting in the car, it didn't matter to me anything.
I sat in a bus powered by Magic Crystals, reminiscing about the moments I had with Ruomeng. Thousands of years have passed, and all kinds of things in the past are like just yesterday, everything is so unforgettable, and the voice and smile have never been blurred.
Ruomeng, my wife, where are you? My life has no meaning without you by my side.
I must find you, even if I go through the heavens and all the worlds, I will never give up!
"Fellow Daoists, there are less than two days to go, we are about to enter Xingzhou in the Spirit Realm, there is a Jiashan Town not far ahead, our convoy needs to rest in the town for a while, and it will not set off in three days. You can go shopping on your own, or you can collect some special products of Jiashan Town and sell them to our White Dragon Chamber of Commerce, of course, our White Dragon Chamber of Commerce will also sell some treasures of our Chamber of Commerce in Jiashan Town, please pay attention to our trade fair. β
The one who spoke was the old man in the first car, he was the leader of this caravan, and his name was Bai Ke. Judging at his cultivation, he is a supreme powerhouse of the ninth order of the gods.
"Senior Bai Ke, we didn't enter Xingzhou from the Baimang Mountains, right? I heard that strange and unpredictable things often happen in the Baimang Mountains, and the Nine Shadows that brought bloody rain to the Pingchun Continent ten years ago came out of the Baimang Mountains, and legend has it that there are strange places in the Baimang Mountains that connect the Nine Netherworlds. β
The voice came from the bus in front of me, and it was a middle-aged man who was not too old.
"Qin Daoyou, don't you know, the official road leading from the Baimang Mountains to the Spirit Domain has been destroyed, and we can only enter Xingzhou from the Northwest Grand Canyon in Chuzhou now." Bai Ke responded.
"Bai Ke Daoyou, I heard that the Northwest Grand Canyon has not been quiet recently, and there are many extremely fierce Dakou hiding in the Grand Canyon, specializing in robbing passing travelers."
"Qin Daoyou, you are right, the Grand Canyon is not calm, but our White Dragon Chamber of Commerce is not a soft persimmon to be kneaded, I have lived for more than 10,000 years, I have led no less than 100 caravans, I have walked the continent no less than 1,000 times, and I have never met anyone who dares to rob my White Dragon Chamber of Commerce. So, Qin Daoyou, you can rest assured, I will guarantee that you can reach your destination smoothly. β
There was indescribable pride in Bai Ke's voice.
Indeed, the White Dragon Chamber of Commerce is the largest chamber of commerce in the spiritual realm, and it is also the second largest chamber of commerce in the Pingchun Continent, and its influence in the Pingchun Continent is stronger than many top forces with supreme, it is said that the Bai family, the Shang family and the Long family in the White Dragon Chamber of Commerce all have supreme seats, but it has not been confirmed.
Jiashan Town, in fact, is a man-made town, and there are no aborigines. Originally, it was a resting place for some caravans before entering the Grand Canyon, and over time, almost all caravans passing through the Grand Canyon would stop at Jiashan Town and then communicate with other caravans and travelers. Some people saw business opportunities and settled in Jiashan, providing various services for caravans and travelers, and Jiashan Town gradually became prosperous.
When the caravan entered Jiashan Town, there were special people who came to pick up the caravan and guide the caravan to the corresponding inn according to the size of the caravan.
After Bai Ke communicated with the person who picked him up, our convoy was taken to the Tianchi Inn. Tianchi Inn is located at the foot of Jiashan Mountain, named after its close proximity to the only lake in Jiashan Town, Tianchi.
When I saw the Tianchi Inn, I was very surprised. Good guys, what kind of inn is this, it's like a castle. Three huge buildings hundreds of feet high stand on the edge of Tianchi in a U-shape. There are multiple sky bridges connecting the giant buildings, making the three giant buildings seem to be one in one. Such a place, not to mention a caravan that can accommodate hundreds of people, even a caravan of tens of thousands of people can easily accommodate it.
"Distinguished guests, you have had a hard journey. Welcome to Tianchi Inn. At Tianchi Inn, you will enjoy the service of being at home. We will have a waiter for each of our distinguished guests, and all your needs at the inn can be served by our waiter. There are two kinds of waiters, one is a Taoist puppet and the other is a real waiter. The Dao Law puppet has 50,000 magic crystal coins per day, and the real attendant has 500,000 magic crystal coins per day. β
In the reception hall of the inn, there is a woman in green who is constantly introducing the guests, and behind her, there is a miniature space portal. Whenever a guest has checked in, a waiter walks out of the space portal and leads the guest out of the hall.
"Fellow Daoists, let's check in our own way, our caravan will set off in three days, and everyone will gather in this hall at that time. Be warned! Bai Ke said loudly.
"Bai Daoyou, I haven't seen you for a long time." The woman in green said to Bai Ke with a smile.
"Yes, it's been ten years, Tang Daoyou. You'll have to put someone in my service for me. Bai Ke said with a smile.
"Don't worry, knowing that you are coming, Qiaoqiao and Rongrong are both kept for you." The woman in green said with a smile.
While speaking, two young and beautiful women walked out of the space portal, smiled and took Bai Ke's hand and left.
I smiled freely, this Bai Ke, more than 10,000 years old, has no hope of making a breakthrough in this life, so I also gave up the plan to continue to improve, and focused on personal pleasure. Along the way, this guy had to call a woman to serve him everywhere he went.
Next, the members of the team belonging to the White Dragon Chamber of Commerce also completed the formalities with ease and left the hall with their attendants.
I smiled bitterly in my heart, tangled. This Nima's Tianchi Inn is also too dark-hearted, it is simply a profiteering among profiteering. I only have more than 10 million magic crystal coins on my magic crystal card, if I choose the service of a real waiter, I will get 1.5 million magic crystal coins for three days, and one-tenth of it will be gone, maybe after a while, I will become a penniless poor bastard. But if I choose a Dao law puppet, I'm worried that I won't be able to find out a lot of things, after all, these waiters have come into contact with all kinds of ** characters, and their sources of information are very extensive, maybe there is news I want to know.
In the end, I gritted my teeth and chose a real waiter.
My attendant is a young and beautiful woman who has cultivated only in the secret realm of foundation building.
"Mr. Yang, it's a pleasure to serve you, my name is Ziyan. Do you want to stay or eat now? Ziyan said with a smile.
"Let's arrange a quiet room for me to rest in." I said lightly.
"Yes, sir, please come with me." Ziyan said with a smile.
I followed Ziyan out of the hall. Ziyan walked three steps in front of my side, and kept that distance from me at all times. At this distance, I can not only see her beautiful side face, but also let me see her delicate back. Ziyan walks lightly, has a bewitching posture, and steps on a special rhythm, giving people a desire to get close and want to explore. I know that the real people here are specially trained, but these tricks don't work for me.
"Mr. Yang, is it your first time coming to Jiashan Town?" Ziyan's voice was as soft as a weak willow supporting the wind.
I hummed faintly.
"Mr. Yang, then you have to have a good time in Jiashan Town. Don't look at the small town of Jiashan, but there are still a lot of attractions here. Ziyan said in a coquettish voice.
"Yes, then tell me what is attractive about Jiashan Town." I said lightly.
"Mr. Yang, the most attractive place in this Jiashan Town is, of course, the Everything Trading Street, where every caravan and every person who comes and goes will sell their treasures on the Everything Exchange Street, and they will also buy the treasures they need here."
"Oh, are there any rare items for sale on the Avenue of Everything?" I asked.
"Of course there is, all the treasures that people in this world can think of are likely to be sold on the Avenue of Everything. I've heard that ten years ago there was a mysterious person who sold the Heart of the Stars on the Avenue of the Everything, and five years ago someone sold the Flame of the Boundary-Breaking Fire here, and a few days ago someone sold a special woman on the Avenue of the Everything. β
"What do you say? Can people also sell here? I asked, surprised.
"Of course you can, all things in the world can be traded on the Everything Exchange Street."
I was secretly angry that I was actually trafficking people here, which I couldn't accept.
I must go to this so-called Avenue of the Trade of Everything to see what is sacred, and how openly it is to sell human beings here.
"Was that woman sold?" I asked.
"There shouldn't be, the seller's asking price is ridiculously high, and it should be difficult to sell in a short time."
"Oh, what price did that Star Heart from ten years ago end up selling?" I asked.
"I heard that it was exchanged for a drop of true dragon blood by a mysterious guest."
What the? Could it be that the person who sells the heart of the stars is Huaning Supreme? At the beginning, when Ziyan talked about the Heart of the Stars, I didn't think about him, but when I connected with the True Dragon Source Blood again, I almost subconsciously thought of Hua Ning. Among the people I know, only Hua Ning once wanted to exchange the Heart of the Stars for the True Dragon Source Blood of the Dragon Supreme.
If it is really Huaning Supreme, then this small Jiashan Town is really not simple, and there will be a supreme here to trade things. Generally speaking, the Supremes rarely walk in the world, because the perfection and evolution of the Origin World requires an endless long time to polish, so the Supremes are generally in constant retreat and cultivation.
"Mr. Yang, your room has arrived. Do you need a special service from me? β
Ziyan's eyes looked at me, and a faint sense of charm permeated the space, at this moment, Ziyan looked amorous, and among the amorous amorous, there was also a faint unwillingness and despair, which made people feel pity.
I smiled faintly, and in an instant, like a spring breeze blowing the earth, dispelling everything, some kind of shackles on Ziyan's body disappeared in my smile.
I pushed the door open and walked into the room, leaving Ziyan shocked outside the door and then burst into tears.
"The power of the contract is gone, and I'm free!"
"I don't have to be locked here anymore!"
Ziyan knelt down and faced the room, "Mr. Yang, thank you." β
In my perception, Ziyan had been kneeling outside the door. I smiled faintly, neither persuading her to leave nor to get up. This is an opportunity for her, and whether she can grasp this opportunity depends on her own heart.
I could tell at a glance that all the real attendants here were trapped by a force similar to the master-servant contract, which was an extremely powerful divine spell that could not be broken for almost a lifetime by these attendants themselves. I am disgusted by this method of coercive control of others. However, I will not take the initiative to remove the contract control for all the attendants. I'm not a man of compassion.
There are so many poor people in this world that I can only guard the part I see that I care about.
I could see at a glance that Ziyan was still in perfect shape, and she should have been the waiter who had only recently been planted with a contract. It was the faint unwillingness and despair hidden in her expression that made me decide to give her a chance.
If Ziyan is ecstatic to be freed and leaves on her own, there is a good chance that she will be replanted with a control contract. The person who controls her will not let her lamb lose so easily.
If Ziyan didn't leave because of gratitude, she would have seized this opportunity, and I would have carried all the cause and effect for her.
I'm sure that the moment the contract is terminated, the person who planted the contract will know, and he will soon come to the door.
I untied the shackles for Ziyan, but in fact, I still have the heart of the test. I am accepting apprentices together, one looks at character, two looks at luck, and then talent. I have been here for more than 800 years, but I have never left my own Great Dao inheritance. In the past, I felt that I was too young and my cultivation was too low, so I didn't think about this at all. Now that I have a cultivation level that is comparable to that of the Supreme, it's time to think about the inheritance.
Sure enough, in less than half an hour, Ziyan's frightened voice came from outside the door: "Master! β
A middle-aged man had already come to my door, he didn't pay attention to Ziyan, but clenched his fists in my direction, "Yang Daoyou, is it convenient to talk now?" β
"Come in." I said lightly, "Ziyan, you can come in too." β
"Then disturb Yang Daoyou."
The door opened, and the middle-aged man walked in. Ziyan followed behind, looking uneasy, her hands twisting at her clothes.
I stood by the window, looking out the window at the Tianchi and didn't look back.
The middle-aged man's expression was a little gloomy, "Yang Daoyou, it's really a good means, it's really a good guts." β
I smiled faintly, "Ziyan, you have a fate with me, I want it." Say, what do you want? β
A terrifying coercion on the middle-aged man's body suddenly came out of his body and pressed towards me, Ziyan was suddenly frightened by the terrifying coercion, her face turned pale, and her legs trembled. Fortunately, the middle-aged man's pressure was on me, and she was just following behind, and the pressure was less than 1/10,000.
I smiled faintly, and all the pressure disappeared.
"You better just say what you want, don't use these useless means to test my depth."
The middle-aged man's face changed, and he said in a deep voice: "Yang Daoyou, good cultivation, I admit that you are stronger than me, but the strength you show is not enough for us to make an exception." β
"Oh, that means there is someone behind you, then you say, who is it, I'll look for him directly."
"Yang Daoyou, you don't have to look for me, I agree to the deal. Zhang Chen, you are solely responsible, don't let us suffer. β
An ethereal female voice sounded in the room, I don't know where it came from, with my current cultivation, I can't even perceive the source of the sound. However, I don't care, no matter how mysterious it is, in the face of absolute strength, it is a local chicken and a dog.
"Yes, Your Majesty!" The middle-aged man replied respectfully.
"It seems that your Tianchi Inn is really not simple." I said lightly, "But your secrecy has nothing to do with me, and I have no interest in knowing, so now, you should tell me what you want." β
"Okay, Yang Daoyou." Zhang Chen nodded, "We saved Ziyan's clan from the hands of the thieves, and in exchange, Ziyan signed a lifelong master-servant contract with us. In other words, Yang Daoyou need to use something worth no less than the lives of a tribe of thousands of people in order to exchange for Ziyan's freedom, I wonder if Yang Daoyou has such a thing? β
"You give me a reference first, so I can gauge whether I have anything like this." I said lightly.
"For example, the Supreme Monastic Codex?" Zhang Chen said, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, as if there was a sneer.
My heart was shocked, I breathed so much, I opened my mouth to ask for the Supreme Spiritual Codex, it was really a lion's big mouth. I smiled coldly, "You really dare to speak, aren't you afraid that I won't give you anything?" β
"Yang Daoyou, it's funny, a master like you should disdain to repay his debts." Zhang Chen said with a sneer.
"I will give you a piece of all the earth, and you will want it, and if you don't want it, pull it down." I said coldly.
"All things earth? Yang Daoyou, are you sure? Zhang Chen was a little surprised.
"Of course, I'm still joking with you?" I said coldly.
"Okay, deal, I'll just say, a master like Yang Daoyou will definitely not cheat." Zhang Chen said, crisp and neat.
As soon as I shook my hand, a piece of all things soil was thrown towards Zhang Chen, Zhang Chen reached out to catch it, and then put it into his space ring. When it was over, he hugged my fist and said, "Yang Daoyou, goodbye." β
Zhang Chen left. Ziyan stood in front of me with a complicated expression, grateful, uneasy, expectant, and hesitant intertwined. Clearly, in her mind, there was a lot of uneasiness about how I was going to arrange her fate.
I smiled faintly and said, "Ziyan, you are free, from now on your fate is up to you, you can go." β
Ziyan looked sad, suddenly knelt down, and said in a cry: "Mr. Yang, my relatives have all died at the hands of thieves, although the world is big, I have nowhere to go, I beg Mr. to take me in, I am willing to serve Mr. for the rest of my life." β
"Ziyan, how old are you this year?" I asked.
"Sir, I am twenty years old." Ziyan responded.
I sighed, twenty years old, the same age as a flower, and it was the same age when I met a bearded man. It was because of my beard that I was able to worship the Master's door wall and embark on the path of cultivation.
Back then, it was Master who reversed my fate, showed me the way forward, and sheltered me from the wind and rain, so that I could grow up smoothly. Now, it's my turn to turn the tide of fate for my disciple.
"Ziyan, are you willing to worship me as a teacher?" I asked softly.
Ziyan looked stunned, then fell to the ground, trembling and said, "Disciple Ziyan, meet Master!" β
The softness in my heart was touched, and looking at Ziyan, I thought of my three disciples on the Taihua Ancient Star. It's not suitable for cultivation on the Taihua Ancient Star, and I don't know what happened to them now. Lei Ken has a special physique, even in an environment like Taihua Ancient Star, his cultivation achievements will not be low, he should be at least above the fourth order of the Mystic Realm, if he comes to Tianlun Ancient Star, he should now be a supreme powerhouse of the ninth order of the Transformation God. As for Bacon and Irene, it depends on their Dao Hearts and Creations, if they hadn't broken through to the Mystic Realm, they would have been a piece of loess by now. Thousands of years have passed, after all, too many have been buried, and mortals are already reincarnated in the tenth generation.
"Ziyan, get up." I said softly.
Ziyan insisted on nine bows before standing up, her eyes red.
I smiled lightly, "Silly girl, what are you crying for, today is a big day, you should be happy." β
"Master, the disciple is happy. Since the death of his brother, no one has ever been so kind to his disciple. Ziyan said with a sob.
"Silly girl, in the future, Master will come to shelter you from the wind and rain and hold up a brilliant sky for you." I smiled and touched Ziyan's head.
"Master!"
Ziyan couldn't hold back anymore, hugged me, put her head on my shoulder and cried, crying so sadly, my nose was sour from her crying.
"Okay, Ziyan, don't cry. Take Master to the Avenue of the All Things Exchange, and by the way, tell me about the situation in Jiashan Town. β
