Back in Nine Tiger City, before Ma Chun sent the first shopkeeper of the Nine Tiger City Lin Ji Inn, Lin Dong informed Yun Lan that after saying goodbye to Huang Wanli, he took the carriage with a completely changed roof and set foot on the road to open a branch again.

It was already seven days after arriving at the nearest Jiaoyi Castle. Lin Dong arrived at the inn through the transportation door, and when he asked, Jade Peony and the others had already arrived at the Lin Ji Inn two days ago.

With the addition of this group of chefs who can be regarded as top chefs in Autumn Wind City, Fenglin Restaurant, which was already beaten to the ground and couldn't get up, was completely stunned. According to Ma Chun's words, the only thing Ling Zhengyang can do now is gritting his teeth and chewing vitality beef balls, eating stewed soft-shelled turtle with maple leaves, and then staying awake all night.

Lin Dong couldn't refute this. In his heart, he disagreed with Ma Chun's inference. The biggest reason is that Ling Zhengyang is a little too calm. According to his prediction, Ling Zhengyang's self-confidence could not have been shattered so quickly. Otherwise, Ling Zhengyang would have been a little wasteful. If your self-confidence has not been shattered, in this case, you will not avoid getting deeper and deeper, even if you are short of cash, you should add some discounts to delay time and find a way.

But with the addition of Jade Peony and others, the cooking skills of Lin Ji Inn are already higher than that of Fenglin Restaurant, not to mention a few allies, even if these allies all fall to Fenglin Restaurant, Lin Ji Inn's cooking skills are also steadily overpowering Fenglin Restaurant.

If Ling Zhengyang disdains to mobilize cash and chefs from Lingnan County, it can be said that Lin Ji Inn will collapse Fenglin Restaurant.

But just because it's certain doesn't mean it's all right. Lin Dong couldn't think of any counterattack from Fenglin Restaurant to reverse the decline, but he felt that Ling Zhengyang shouldn't have lost his self-confidence so easily, and he didn't even resist.

Anyway, you should struggle a few times.

I can't think about it, so I don't think about it anymore, Lin Ji Inn's strength is superior, and there is the killer feature of the Lingshi fan, he doesn't believe that Fenglin Restaurant can make any waves.

Now, Lin Dong's real headache is You Qinxiang.

In addition to Fenglin Restaurant, Ma Chun has another news. That is, the battle between the Ningji Sect and the Xingli Sect has intensified, and it has reached the point where either you die or I die. According to Xiao Tianchi's judgment, there is one more month, almost, it is time for Gu Huan Sect to appear.

But You Qinxiang couldn't bear it, she was worried that the Xingli Sect would be destroyed because of this, and she was even more worried that the former sect master of the Xingli Sect, that is, her father You Beide, would not bear the heavy casualties of the disciples of the Xingli Sect, and brought the imprisoned disciples to join the battle group.

According to the results of Xiao Tianchi's investigation, Ning Jizong was united in hatred of the enemy, and his advantages were more obvious. Today, there are still more than 1,000 disciples in the entire sect, and the number of elders above the seventh-level mental stage is as high as sixteen.

On the other hand, the Xingli Sect suffered a lot of losses due to internal friction, in addition to the three or four hundred disciples and a few elders who were imprisoned and completely loyal to You Beide, the disciples on hand of Qianchang Jian were less than five hundred, and there were only three elders above the seventh-fold mental stage.

After another month, the Xingli Sect will almost be abolished, and the Ningji Sect will also be half wasted. The only advantage of the current strength of the Gu Huan Sect is the number of elders, twenty-two elders, with the help of Qinglanguo, each of them has improved by one or two small realms, and their strength is not inferior to the overall level of all the elders of the Ningji Sect and the Xingli Sect.

The disadvantage was that there were only more than five hundred disciples who were completely loyal to the Gu Huan Sect, and although they had the help of Qinglanguo, each of them had also improved by two or three small realms, which was only higher than the disciples of the Ningji Sect and the Xingli Sect. But the number of people is still too small.

If you really want to be one against two, the absolute loss is not small.

These disciples and elders have absolute loyalty to the Gu Huan Sect, and it can be said that they are the greatest capital and development foundation of the Gu Huan Sect. Not to mention the occurrence of major losses, more than one-tenth, in Lin Dong's eyes, it is not comparable to the task reward and the benefits brought by the Destroying Ning Ji Sect.

Therefore, just because You Qinxiang was in a hurry, Lin Dong would only pretend to go out and not know about it.

can be anxious, and Xiao Tianchi.

Although Ma Chun knew that it was ominous, he could be sure that Xiao Tianchi seemed to be very anxious about this matter.

Lin Dong couldn't understand how Xiao Tianchi's thoughts should be the same as his own, if he didn't avoid You Qinxiang's brothers and sisters, how could he follow so tightly.

No matter what, You Qinxiang is just a suzerain heir, and it is impossible to offer a price that can satisfy Xiao Tianchi. Just the price of You Qinxiang's opening, it is a question whether Xinglizong will admit it in the future. What's more, although You Qinxiang's identity is extraordinary, the secrets and treasures in the sect should only be known to You Beide, and she can't open anything good if she wants to.

There was no way, Lin Dong had to let Ma Chun go out to investigate the situation outside the courtyard first, and after making sure that there were no idle people waiting, he went out and knocked on the room where Xiao Tianchi was.

The door squeaked open, and before Lin Dong could speak, Xiao Tianchi had already shouted with joy: "Shopkeeper Lin, I can wait for you." ”

Lin Dong frowned, puzzled: "Sect Master Xiao, what the hell is going on?" ”

"Shopkeeper Lin is talking!" Xiao Tianchi smiled and let Lin Dong into the room, and after pouring him a glass of water, he explained: "I know the concerns of the shopkeeper Lin, but in the face of Chongli, I have to be moved. ”

"Heavy profit?" Lin Dong looked puzzled.

Xiao Tianchi nodded heavily and said: "All the refining methods and spiritual skills of the Xingli Sect, with these, our Guhuan Sect not only has a great increase in the level of refining, but there is no need to worry about recruiting disciples in the future." Those seventh-order spiritual skills you gave were good, but you didn't dare to take them out as capital to recruit disciples. This is a heavy profit, does Shopkeeper Lin think I can refuse? ”

Lin Dong was stunned and said, "How is this possible? If You Qinxiang does this, for whatever reason, it is tantamount to tantamount to betrayal? Again, even if Gu Huan Sect obtains the refining methods and spiritual skills of the Xingli Sect, unless the Xingli Sect is destroyed, I am afraid that there will be endless troubles in the future. ”

Xiao Tianchi shook his head, stroked his long beard, and said leisurely: "Miss You, it's not a traitor. ”

Lin Dong couldn't cry or laugh, any kind of spiritual technique that the private sect prohibits leaking is a traitor to the major sects. All the refining methods and spiritual skills at the bottom of the box in the sect were taken out and given away, even if the purpose was to save the entire sect, it was also difficult to escape the charge of betraying the sect, and it was an unforgivable crime. Even if it is a sect master, and his prestige in the sect is extremely high, unless he can get greater benefits, he will not be able to withstand this kind of crime.

"Don't hide it from the shopkeeper of Lin......" Xiao Tianchi said with a smile: "Miss You has already promised Xiao to write an offensive and defensive alliance agreement, Xingli Sect and Guhuan Sect will be allies in the future, and the spiritual skills in the sect and various alchemy refining methods are also shared." ”

Lin Dong twisted his eyebrows and said: "Seventh-order spiritual skills for fourth- and fifth-order spiritual skills and refining methods, I can't tell who takes advantage, but if you add the heavy losses of the sect, I'm afraid you will still have to lose, right?" ”

"Our Gu Huan Sect doesn't have a seventh-order spiritual skill." Xiao Tianchi shook his head slowly.

Lin Dong was dumbfounded and speechless.

"In addition, Miss You has agreed that in order to protect the spiritual skills and refining methods of the Xingli Sect from being destroyed by the desperate Qianchang Jian, our Guhuan Sect can send people into the Treasure Pavilion of the Xingli Sect to guard it first." Xiao Tianchi's thin face showed a touch of cunning.

Lin Dong was convinced, in this way, the spiritual skills and refining methods had been obtained, and no matter how dissatisfied You Beide and the elders of the Xingli Sect were, I am afraid they would have to agree to the so-called offensive and defensive alliance. First, with the talent of You Qinxiang, being able to protect You Qinxiang is equivalent to preserving the cornerstone of future development for Xinglizong.

Second, everything has already been in the hands of others, if you want to recover it, you have to meet each other, and I am afraid that no one will be able to bargain for the ending, and the possible surname of Xinglizong being destroyed is also as high as ** Cheng. Moreover, the alliance can also make the Xingli Sect relieved, if you don't find an ally, the strength of the Xingli Sect and the benefits of destroying the Xingli Sect will sooner or later be remembered by other sects.

To be honest, in Lin Dong's eyes, Xingli Sect's refining methods and spiritual skills were still not as good as those disciples who were loyal to Gu Huan Sect. Helpless, Xiao Tianchi is the master of Gu Huan Sect, no matter how unwilling he is, he can't interfere with Xiao Tianchi's decision, after all, he and Gu Huan Sect are only allies, one is a spiritual elixir, and the other is responsible for being a guard of the plantation and the enclosure.

"Since Sect Master Xiao has already decided, then this matter is so decided, when does Sect Master Xiao plan to do it?" Lin Dong asked.

"If I could, I could get on my trip today. Of course......" Xiao Tianchi said with a smile: "It depends on when Miss Yun is free." ”

"I asked, I should be available at any time." Lin Dong was not full.

Xiao Tianchi nodded, his eyes burning, and said, "Can Shopkeeper Lin ask Miss Yun if she can change the third- and fourth-order spirit array in a short period of time, and then make it for her own use." If you can, this trip to Qingmei Mountain will not only allow you to sneak into the Treasure Pavilion of Xinglizong without much effort, but also receive the effect we originally planned, and wait until Xinglizong and Ningjizong will fight to defeat each other and then come out to clean up the mess. ”

Lin Dong frowned, and then his heart moved slightly: "What do you mean to say, with the help of Yun Lan's strength and the ability of the high-level spirit array master, he will sneak into the Xingli Sect first, steal one or two treasures from the Xingli Sect, and lead all the people of the Xingli Sect out of the sect." Then change the spirit array around Xingli Sect, forcing Xingli Sect to fight to the death with Ning Ji Sect outside? ”

Xiao Tianchi nodded heavily: "Miss Yun, it can be said that this trip to Qingmei Mountain is the top priority. ”

Lin Dong suddenly laughed: "Sect Master Xiao, Yun Lan has made such a big contribution, can't he give me some benefits?" ”

Xiao Tianchi couldn't cry or laugh: "Up and down the Gu Huan Sect, what else is there that Shopkeeper Lin can see, even if Shopkeeper Lin wants Xiao's position as the sect master, Xiao Mou will never say anything." ”

Lin Dong was dumbfounded, he suddenly remembered that the sect master token of the Gu Huan Sect seemed to still be on him.

Where are the spiritual weapons and silver that have been accumulated for hundreds of years exchanged for spirit stones to give birth to blue fruits, and in terms of the current situation of the Gu Huan Sect, except for a group of loyal disciples, it can almost be regarded as poor and white.

This requires, in vain.

"When I didn't say it......" Lin Dong said helplessly.

"Shopkeeper Lin rest assured." Xiao Tianchi said mysteriously: "The Xingli Sect has already suffered heavy losses, and the worldly items in the Treasure Pavilion are missing, so I shouldn't care too much." ”

"Sect Master Xiao, this is generous to others! Heroic enough! ”

Lin Dong couldn't help but give Xiao Tianchi a thumbs up.
