In the dark night, somewhere in the Demon Beast Desert, a caravan of thousands of people quickly set up camp.

Dozens of people are stacked in a circle, so as to defend against the sneak attack of demon beasts. In addition, there are special people watching the wind from several five or six meter-high sentry posts that have been built.

Dozens of peculiar bonfires were blazing, encompassing the entire camp, illuminating it at a glance. These numerous bonfires can effectively prevent the attack of demon beasts, because most demon beasts are still afraid of fire, but this fire is different from the ordinary, emitting some smells and effectively dispersing some demon beasts.

However, everyone just silently ate dry food and drank water, and there was no laughter.

The crowd has experienced a tragic battle, more than 1,000 people have been killed, and they are not in the mood to talk and laugh at all, they need to hurry up to replenish their physical strength and sleep, while the monks need to seize the time to replenish their Yuan Li, and the road ahead is still difficult.

In front of a certain bonfire, Wu Bao's face was bitter.

There was also a second housekeeper Li and more than a dozen henchmen accompanying him, especially the guards were all monks. But in this battle, none of these guards participated, and the equipment was the best, so they were all in order.

Holding the air-dried beef in his hand and soaking it in hot water, Wu Bao still couldn't swallow it. Although it is beef jerky, it is also soaked in hot water, and it is not so dry and hard, but in the end it cannot be compared with the delicious food at home and the food in the restaurant. Of course, when you go out, you don't have to pay too much attention to this, but Wu Bao has a heart disease, and he is unhappy and depressed, so this appetite is naturally gone.

"Steward Li, you said that you lost more than 200 truckloads of goods, how much gold should it be worth?" Wu Bao sighed. One vigorously talks about losses. "That cargo is worth at least 40,000 taels of gold!"

Wu Bao is a wealthy and famous man in Shanhai City, with a lot of wealth. There were groups of wives and concubines, but there was no loss of goods of 40,000 taels of gold at one time.

"Say it again. These people are dead, and they still want me to pay a pension of a few dozen taels of gold each?

Lin Qingyun told him just now that he had to pay dozens of taels of gold to each living person, and even the families of the dead would have to pay a part of the pension, and the total amount of zero and zero should add up to 80,000 or 90,000 taels of gold. Wu Bao naturally disagreed, more than 100,000 taels of gold, this amount is too big, let him take it out. It is equivalent to cutting the flesh of his heart, but Lin Qingyun threatened not to do it.

Compared with the value of this cartion, the hundreds of carts of materials, Wu Bao's hired manpower was far insufficient, especially the lack of monks. This led to great pressure on the guards, and the casualties were heavy at the end. If we had hired more monks, we wouldn't have killed so many people. Lin Qingyun suggested it several times, but Wu Bao refused because the cost was too high and the business was small.

Lin Qingyun threatened not to do it and picked on him, which made Wu Bao angry. But he had to smile and grit his teeth and agree to this request.

Of the fifteen guards around him, the highest cultivation level was only the third level of Qi training, and the rest were all second level of Qi training. How to keep the team?

Without Lin Qingyun, a cultivator of the eighth layer of Qi cultivation, his caravan would not be able to get out of the Demon Beast Desert, and he would have to plant it all.

Li Er's housekeeper comforted: "The owner." These things can only be lost, and now the green beast is far from enough. I can't pull it back, but. The rest of the big car is the key, as long as these can be pulled back smoothly, it will not be a problem to earn more than ten times!"

"Yes, there can't be any more problems with the rest of the carts!" Wu Bao said firmly.

Although he lost half of the cart, only he knew in his heart that the remaining half was worth more, many times more than the lost part.

"That's what the owner said!" said Second Steward Li with a smile. "Besides, the expenditure of more than 100,000 taels of gold, although it is a lot for the owner, it is nothing, and Lin Immortal Master has spoken, and the owner can't regret it, he still has to give it, if he can't bear it, he will make a big plan, Lin Immortal Master is a monk in the early stage of the eighth layer of Qi cultivation——"

Wu Bao's face changed, and he hurriedly said: "This is natural! What I promised, it will naturally count!"

For Lin Qingyun's loose cultivation in the early stage of the eighth layer of qi training, Wu Bao, a mortal, is still very jealous, and if he can, he can't be offended.

"By the way, Steward Li, I heard that Immortal Master Zhang is a monk who cultivates Qi and Great Perfection? Just now, he hunted more than 300 red scorpions, and only then did he repel the red scorpion swarm?

"The owner understands the same points, Immortal Master Lin is very respectful to Immortal Master Zhang, I think this matter is not far from ten!" "Practicing Qi Great Perfection, this is the strongest under the foundation building monk, comparable to the captain of the guard team of the City Lord's Mansion of Shanhai City, if the owner can recruit this person, he will become the upper echelon of Shanhai City from now on, no problem at all!"

Wu Bao was immediately happy, patted Second Steward Li on the shoulder, and said, "Steward Li, or do you know my thoughts, do you think this thing can be done?"

"The owner, if it is a Qi Cultivation Great Perfection cultivator, 5,000 crystal coins may be a bit low-" Second Steward Li twitched his mouth when he heard this, and said euphemistically.

The captain of the City Lord's Mansion, Li Hu, was a Qi Cultivation Great Perfection Cultivator, and his annual income was very easy to earn more than ten or two hundred thousand crystal coins.

He knew that the owner was notoriously stingy, but the number was too far off.

"I heard that Immortal Master Zhang has come to practice, he has no fixed place, and he is also very unfamiliar with this place! That's good, 6,000 crystal coins, a good car and a good drink, and a beautiful woman can take it, Steward Li, this matter will be left to you!" Wu Bao touched his chin and said shrewdly.

Second Steward Li was suddenly bitter, but he could only agree.

On the other side, beside a bonfire, Zhang Weidong sat cross-legged alone.

He concealed his cultivation, saying that he was a Qi Cultivation Great Perfection Cultivator, but this cultivation was already a human being. Thousands of mortal guards were as fearful as gods, and the remaining 20 or so monks were also extremely restrained, because in their opinion, Zhang Weidong was only a little away from becoming a foundation building monk. So, as soon as he took out the group and sat down, everyone consciously avoided it and didn't dare to disturb.

This made Zhang Weidong a little depressed.

Originally, he planned to get acquainted with everyone, and then inquire about the situation in this world and determine the location of the Qinglian Mountain Range. But as soon as everyone dodged, it was difficult for him to chase after him.

Walking in the desert is full of dangers. The days were also very boring, and Zhang Weidong took out a pot of Baiguo Stuff. Sipped it slowly. This is already a habit for him, and he feels uncomfortable with nothing in his hands. If you don't have something in your mouth, it's even more uncomfortable.

The smell of wine was intoxicating, and as soon as he drank it, he could hear the sound of swallowing saliva around him.

Even the dozen or twenty monks turned their heads sideways, looking this way.

"This is the taste of Hundred Fruit Brew!"

"Immortal Master Zhang enjoys it!"

"What's the use of you being envious, it's good to be able to drink bitterthorn wine to your heart's content for a day!"

"Such a pot of Baiguo Brew is worth at least tens of thousands of crystal coins, and the reward of 5,000 crystal coins for Immortal Master Zhang is too little!"

"You know what you say. What does it mean to be a master, and Immortal Master Zhang doesn't care about the crystal coin reward!"

“——”

"Hey, what kind of wine is this, so fragrant?" On the other side, Wu Bao also smelled the aroma of this wine, and took two sips greedily. "Fruit stuffing?"

"Steward Li, it's more sincere for me to go over to the past!"

"That's what the owner said!" Second Steward Li secretly breathed a sigh of relief, the aroma of this wine came too timely.

The two got up and walked towards Zhang Weidong, getting closer and closer. Wu Bao's waist bent more and more, and a deep smile appeared on his face.

"Immortal Master Zhang is so Yaxing!" After Wu Bao passed, after bowing, he clenched his fists and said.

Zhang Weidong glanced at him. didn't get up, and said lightly: "Wu Dong's family has something?"

Wu Bao stared at the wine jug a few times, swallowed his saliva and said, "Immortal Master Zhang." Is this a hundred fruit brew?"

"Yes, what's wrong?" Zhang Weidong frowned. Some of them were displeased. "If Wu Dongjia has nothing to do, go back, Zhang doesn't like to be disturbed!"

The convenience of divine sense. It was very easy for Zhang Weidong to eavesdrop on everyone's conversations, and naturally he had a very bad impression of this Wu Bao.

"Immortal Master Zhang, our host wants to hire you as a guest of the Wu Mansion, I don't know—" At this time, Second Steward Li immediately said. "Our Wu Mansion is a wealthy family in Shanhai City, and the owner is quite prestigious there!"

Wu Bao glared at Second Steward Li, then turned his head and changed his smile again, and nodded: "Yes, yes, that's it! If Immortal Master Zhang agrees, how about a year's offering of 7,000 crystal coins?"

Another 1000 crystals?

Second Steward Li glanced at the owner in surprise.

"Thank you Wu Dongjia for your kindness, Zhang is not interested!" Zhang Weidong directly refused.

"Ah, this—" Wu Bao was disappointed. "Immortal Master Zhang doesn't think about it anymore?"

"Please go back, Zhang is going to cultivate!" Zhang Weidong's voice was a little colder.

Wu Bao was still hesitant to persuade again, and Li Er's housekeeper hurriedly pulled him, turned around and left.

"Hey, hey, what are you pulling me for?"

"The owner, Immortal Master Zhang is already unhappy, besides, the crystal coins you have produced are too few, and the captain of the City Lord's Mansion Guard has at least a hundred thousand crystal coins a year——"

"What, so much? It can't be, right?"

"The owner, what I heard with my own ears, the hundreds of thousands of crystal coins are still conservative, maybe more!"

"Hey, hundreds of thousands of crystal coins to hire a guest secretary?

“——”

——

As soon as Wu Bao and Li Er's housekeepers left, Zhang Weidong saw Lin Qingyun's figure and hurriedly greeted him.

Just now, Lin Qingyun saw Zhang Weidong drinking Baiguo Brew, and he was embarrassed to pass by at this time. He won a reward of 5,000 crystal coins for Zhang Weidong, but from the current point of view, Zhang Weidong doesn't look down on this reward at all, and this pot of Baiguo brew is far more than the reward.

As soon as Zhang Weidong shouted, he couldn't pretend not to hear it, so he got up and went over.

As soon as Zhang Weidong waited for him to sit down, he took out another pot of 100 fruits and handed it over.

Lin Qingyun was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly excused himself: "Brother Zhang, this is too precious, I'll forget it!"

"Brother Lin, don't you look down on me? it's just a pot of wine, it's all used to drink, what's precious or not, besides, I'm not familiar with the people here, so I can't say that I need Brother Lin's help!" Zhang Weidong pretended to be displeased.

"This, okay, thank you Brother Zhang for the gift!" Lin Qingyun heard it, so he stopped refusing and took it.

Zhang Weidong smiled and said: "That's right, everyone walks all over the world, the four seas are home, acquaintance is fate, why bother to be such a mother-in-law!"

——

On the other side, Wu Bao saw that Zhang Weidong had sent a pot of Baiguo Stuffed to Lin Qingyun, and his face suddenly turned red and he was dumbfounded.

"That's a pot of 100 fruit stuff, why didn't you see it so generous just now?"
