Chapter 169: Yoo Seung-min who spares no effort
Since it was only a few days before the day when the cliff blessed land was closed, those teenagers no longer continued to look for points or natural treasures, and they were already physically and mentally exhausted and scarred after nearly a month of survival in the wild when they came.
Of course, about more than sixty percent of the teenagers were unlucky, they all lost their lives, and there were less than four hundred people still alive, which can be said to be a heavy loss, but this is also the cruelty of the cliff blessed land, and everyone who enters here must be mentally prepared.
The Misty Mountain seemed very deserted and quiet, and the hundreds of teenagers who had reached the Misty Avenue before had already left, because they all knew very well that it was impossible to break through the forbidden barrier, and there was no point in continuing to stay.
At this moment, Lin Yan was walking like flying, and the dense white mist didn't seem to be able to slow him down at all.
It feels so good to break through to the Foundation Realm!
While running, he also experienced the pleasure of improving his strength!
In particular, his soul power has been further improved, and the scope of his divine sense exploration has also been further expanded, even in such a dense fog, he can detect a hundred meters away.
"This trip can be described as a rich harvest for you, it can be called a lot of money, and your soul realm is about to break through to the fourth order, the key task in the future is to find a way to repair the soul of heaven and earth treasures, let me recover some as soon as possible!"
Although Qi Tian was also very happy about Lin Yan's harvest from this trip, he was also a little jealous, and the tone of the voice unconsciously revealed a little sour.
Lin Yan didn't care about this, "Of course, without you, I wouldn't be able to get so many benefits, as long as I leave here, I will do everything I can to search for treasures for you that can restore your soul." ”
With that, he quickened his pace, and it didn't take long for him to rush out of the Misty Mountain......
——
Three days later, at the exit of the cliff blessed land, there were already teenagers coming here one after another, they were all decadent, ragged, of course, there were many people with colorful colors and sluggish breath, but when they saw the long-awaited light door, all the fatigue was swept away, and one by one they rushed over impatiently.
In the outside world, many people from the family had already gathered outside the valley at the entrance of the Cliff Blessed Land, anxiously hoping that the children of their family would appear as soon as possible.
They were all full of ardent expectations for these children, because once someone could be favored by the five major sects, it would undoubtedly be like a carp jumping over the dragon gate, and the entire family would be extremely glorious.
What's more, the entire family can be protected by the sect, and there is no need to worry about the oppression of local bureaucrats or even the royal family, so the family can also develop rapidly.
Although there were a lot of people gathered here, it was not chaotic, because Liu Chengmin, the city lord of Qingluo City, led a team of city guards to impose martial law here, especially at the mouth of the valley, except for a few big people, no idle people could approach at will.
Looking at the stern-faced and heavily armed sergeants, coupled with Liu Chengmin personally in charge, it is not difficult to imagine what a terrible fate someone will suffer once they dare to take a step beyond the thunder pool!
Elder Spear, who had been waiting here for nearly a month, was still wearing the gorgeous and uncomfortably elegant moon-white robe at this moment, the beard on his face was still neat, and even his hairstyle had not changed in the slightest, he still looked in good spirits, and his expression did not show any irritation.
It seems that he has also been responsible for the opening of the cliff blessed land many times, and he has already developed good patience.
However, the two young men who had come with him were so bored that they didn't know where they were going.
First looked at the sky, and then looked at the spear elder who was still closing his eyes and recuperating, Liu Chengmin cautiously approached him, and asked in a low voice: "Uncle spear, aren't you busy at this time!"
"Do you see that the old man looks like he's busy?" Elder Spear didn't even raise his eyelids, still closed his eyes calmly, but he didn't have the slightest sense of reproach, after all, Liu Chengmin had "tribute" him with a thousand-year-old precious medicinal herb, "If you have anything to say, just say it!"
On the surface, Elder Spear is only dressed as a middle-aged man, but in fact, his age is not a hundred, but also eighty, so he is very accustomed to calling himself "old man", of course, sometimes he will also call himself "this seat", which mainly depends on his mood.
"Hehe......" Liu Chengmin laughed dryly, but he also noticed that Elder Spear showed no signs of anger, because he heard the word "old man", which meant that Elder Spear was in a good mood at the moment, so he put his mind at ease, but his tone was still very light, "Uncle Shi, calculate the time, the one-month deadline is almost up, how many people do you plan to select to enter the sect to cultivate this time?"
It stands to reason that this is completely Elder Spear's business, and it has nothing to do with him Liu Chengmin, but this time he has received benefits from many families, and if he doesn't ask, it will definitely be difficult to make a difference.
"Senior nephew Liu, you must have gained a lot this time!" Elder Spear glanced at Liu Chengmin with slanted eyes, not only did he not answer, but instead came to such a sentence, which shows that he still knows Liu Chengmin quite well, and knows why Liu Chengmin asked him.
Similar to this kind of township test, although the object of the investigation is mainly those teenagers on the surface, everyone knows that it is actually a test for these families, but this test is carried out in secret, which family can exert the greatest energy to "influence" the examiners, then whose children can get the first opportunity.
This is true in all worlds, and it is an open secret.
"Where is Uncle Shi, how did I get into your eyes with this little gain, and I am just doing a little bit of the city lord of Qingluo City, after all, this township test is also very important to my Qingluo City, I hope Uncle Shi can understand!"
Liu Chengmin didn't hide it, and deliberately emphasized his "duty", saying the same as the truth, but he was also smart not to mention the "Aoki Xuanlingzhi" he gave to the other party, otherwise it would backfire and easily cause the displeasure of Elder Spear.
"Then do you already have a suitable object in your heart, it is better to say it, and Uncle Shi can also talk about it at his discretion!" Elder Spear is naturally not a fuel-efficient lamp, and when he heard that Liu Chengmin wanted to test his tone, he wanted to test which families Liu Chengmin had contact with, so as to judge how much benefit Liu Chengmin had received.
Although it was already difficult for there were many things in this secular world that would tempt him, the outer sect elder of the Yunding Sect, sometimes certain families in the secular world could also come up with good things, and he knew very well that if he didn't get enough benefits, Liu Chengmin would not come to him in a low voice to ask.
"What an old fox!" After many years of experience in officialdom, Liu Chengmin certainly knew Elder Spear's intentions, but he only scolded in his heart, and he didn't have the courage to say it, but he concealed no flaws, and even replied with a smile on his face: "Don't hide it from Uncle Shi, in recent years, I still have a few quite good seedlings in Qingluo City, such as Xiao Linfeng of the Xiao family, who is less than eighteen years old, and already has the combat power to challenge the foundation building realm." In addition, Jiang Feng of the Jiang family is also very good......"
Without waiting for Liu Chengmin to continue, Elder Spear said: "This Xiao family, Uncle Shi has heard of it, they are also a big family in Qingluo City, and I heard that they did have a genius, but it was not Xiao Linfeng that you just said, but a little girl, and it has been taken away by the woman from Lingxiu Sect." ”
For Lingxiu Sect, one of the five major sects on a par with Yunding Sect, Elder Spear still paid some attention, but when he talked about "that woman", his tone was a little weird, as if he was jealous, but also seemed to covet, with a hint of resentment, it seemed that he had dealt with "that woman" in the past, and he didn't get any advantage.
Liu Chengmin, who is good at observing words and feelings, immediately caught a clue, but he didn't care about the specific situation, and he didn't dare to care, because this was Elder Spear's private matter, and he only cared about whether Elder Spear would give him a green light and how much he would pay.
Of course, Liu Chengmin also heard that Elder Spear had another meaning, that is, he didn't care much about Xiao Linfeng.
This was a bit embarrassing for him, because he had received a lot of benefits from the Hundred Pharmacy, among which was a precious medicinal herb, although it could not be compared to the Aoki Xuanlingzhi he gave to Elder Spear, but it was also quite valuable, if it could not have an impact on Elder Spear at all, then it would be a short hand.
"What Uncle Shi said is that the little girl of the Xiao family who was taken away by Lingxiuzong is named Xiao Yingxue, she is also the granddaughter of the head of the Xiao family, she is indeed extremely talented, and it is not surprising that she can be favored by Lingxiuzong!"
Liu Chengmin first smiled slightly, and slightly praised Xiao Yingxue along with Elder Spear's words, and then suddenly changed his words, "But Uncle Shi, don't forget, the entire Qingluo City is under your jurisdiction, Uncle Shi, but Lingxiu Sect didn't even say hello, just took away the peerless genius who is known as Qingluo City for a hundred years, and is also the goddess in the minds of countless young people in Qingluo City, so what will people think of Yunding Sect and Uncle Shi?"
He knew that Elder Spear had a grudge against 'that woman', and although he didn't dare to ask, it didn't prevent him from using the topic to play, so he stimulated Elder Spear in a targeted manner, and while talking, he also carefully observed Elder Spear's expression.
Noticing that Elder Spear's face showed a hint of displeasure slightly, he knew that he had touched the other party's sensual nerves, so he intensified his provocation:
"Moreover, with Xiao Yingxue's status and weight in the Xiao family, I am afraid that from now on, the Xiao family will bow down to Lingxiu Sect, and even become the sphere of influence of Lingxiu Sect, and then affect the entire Qingluo City, this is not a good thing for Uncle Shi, maybe 'that woman' is deliberately demolishing Uncle Shi's platform, if Uncle Shi doesn't take some necessary measures, isn't it equivalent to letting people see Uncle Shi's jokes!"
He came prepared, and he had always been good at stirring up trouble, and his words were just right to point to Elder Spear's "nervous point", and he believed that Elder Spear would not be unresponsive.
Sure enough, Elder Spear frowned, but this old guy also had a lot of city government, so he didn't get angry immediately, but suddenly showed a strange smile, "Senior Nephew Liu, what you say makes some sense!"
"I'm just thinking about Uncle Shi, I don't want to see this incident affect Uncle Shi's reputation!" Liu Chengmin also said this beautifully, completely picking himself cleanly, as if the benefits he received from Xiao Mingju did not happen at all.
"I've bothered you!" Although Elder Spear also knew very well that Liu Chengmin was not sincere, he didn't make it clear, because it was also commonplace for people like them, "Then according to you, is Uncle Shi the only way to bring that Xiao Linfeng into the Yunding Sect, so that the Xiao family will not be completely subdued by the Lingxiu Sect?"
In the Xiao family, although Xiao Linfeng's status is not as good as Xiao Yingxue, he is a man and one of the main heirs of the Xiao family in the future, and the Xiao family plays a pivotal role in Qingluo City, and receiving him from the Yunding Sect will definitely be able to offset the influence of Xiao Yingxue's worship in the Lingxiu Sect, and the Xiao family will also be grateful to the senior uncle for this, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone!"
I have to say that Liu Chengmin's eloquence is very good, and he is almost tempted by what Elder Spear said.
But he probably wouldn't have thought that Xiao Linfeng would no longer be able to appear, if he still spared no effort to fight for Xiao Linfeng's "impression points" of Elder Spear, and then he couldn't see Xiao Linfeng's figure, I don't know how he would feel.
However, Elder Spear suddenly said in a strange manner: "But Uncle I've heard recently that the Xiao family doesn't attach much importance to this township test, and Senior Nephew Liu, you have only been in close contact with 100 pharmacies recently, can just one 100 pharmacies store represent the entire Xiao family?"
These words directly hit Liu Chengmin's weakness, because Xiao Donglin, the patriarch of the Xiao family, did not have any contact with Liu Chengmin, and it was only Xiao Mingju who "wooed" him in the name of Bai Pharmacy.
In fact, Xiao Donglin didn't care much about the township test after Xiao Yingxue was brought to Lingxiu Sect by Yu Lingzi, but Xiao Linfeng's vein felt huge pressure, because after Xiao Yingxue joined Lingxiu Sect, her father Xiao Hai's position would be more solid, and he would also be the best candidate to inherit the position of patriarch in the future, which made the other factions of the Xiao family, especially Xiao Linfeng's father, that Xiao Cong sat on pins and needles.
But Xiao Cong himself was not convenient to come forward, so he let Xiao Mingju contact Liu Chengmin, and hoped to influence Elder Spear through Liu Chengmin.
After all, Elder Spear was not something that the people of the Xiao family could approach casually, and only through Liu Chengmin's thread could they achieve their goal.
At this moment, Liu Chengmin also knew that if he didn't let out some blood, it would be difficult for this old fox to let go, in fact, Xiao Mingju had already prepared a special gift for Elder Spear, but Liu Chengmin was reluctant to take it out, but now it seems that it is not possible to spit it out.
So he "endured the pain" and took out a brocade box, and pretended to be full of sincerity, "Don't hide it from Uncle Shi, my nephew has indeed only communicated with the Eighth Elder of the Xiao Family, but it is purely a personal relationship, after all, I have been friends with him for many years, and I can't refuse this busyness, but the Eighth Elder of the Xiao Family is also very sensible, and I know that Uncle Shi has worked tirelessly for many years, and specially prepared this gift to comfort Uncle Shi!"
He deliberately emphasized Xiao Mingju's identity as the "Eighth Elder of the Xiao Family", and also tried to downplay the negative impact of "the Xiao family doesn't attach much importance to this township test", and he also said that Elder Spear was "very hard", in an attempt to influence this old fox.
Elder Spear didn't bother to pay attention to the false profit in words, but when he saw the "real goods" appear, he finally showed a smile, because in this competition, he had made actual profits, and he secretly thought in his heart: "It is said that the Hundred Pharmacy has been operating in Qingluo City for many years, and it has almost monopolized the medicinal material business in Qingluo City, and it is estimated that the contents of this brocade box should be worth a lot of money!"
Although he was looking forward to it, he only glanced at the brocade box lightly, and Liu Chengmin immediately understood, and immediately held the brocade box in front of Elder Spear, and did not forget to render it, "Senior Uncle, this is a good spirit beast Inner Dan, and it has reached the top quality of the second order, which is also quite helpful for Senior Uncle to improve the True Yuan, and the Eighth Elder of the Xiao Family also specially instructed his senior nephew to personally serve it to Senior Uncle!"
Don't look at what he said lightly, but his heart was extremely painful, because this second-order top-level spirit beast Neidan was more valuable to himself, but it was not particularly important to the spear elder who had already reached the third-order Xuandan realm.
Of course, since the spirit beast inner pill is difficult to see in the wasteland, it is quite valuable, and the spear elder is only a first-level realm of the Xuandan realm, this is a second-order top-level spirit beast inner pill, which is more valuable, and it is also of great benefit to the spear elder, otherwise Xiao Mingju would not consider giving it to the spear elder.
Before Elder Spear could say anything, a noise suddenly came from a distance!
