Chapter 268: Fishing Without a Hook
Jinghong's first book, if you think it's not bad, then please move your fingers to the "starting point" to comment, leave a message, and by the way, throw a few recommendation votes, thank you here. Jiaofengxian Trade Zone, with a period of heat, the atmosphere here has also stabilized, and the major chambers of commerce have also attracted a group of stable customers. However, there is an exception to this, and that is the Immortal Rebellion Business Alliance.
With the pressure of the three major chambers of commerce, some small chambers of commerce in the Immortal Rebellion Business Alliance finally began to break away from the business alliance, wanting to show their sincerity to the three major chambers of commerce. These small chambers of commerce don't even want to get preferential treatment from the three major chambers of commerce, they just hope that they won't be suppressed and leave them a way to live.
But what I never expected was that these small chambers of commerce were invited by the three major chambers of commerce after breaking away from the Xianyi Business Alliance, and the small chambers of commerce that were originally in a corner instantly became well-known chambers of commerce in the sea area where they were located, which was completely the impetus of the three major chambers of commerce behind the scenes.
Originally, there were as many as eleven chambers of commerce that joined the Immortal Rebellion Business Alliance, but under the tempting conditions of the three major chambers of commerce, two more chambers of commerce finally withdrew from the business alliance. In the blink of an eye, an organization that had been working together was crumbling, but six of the eleven chambers of commerce were withdrawn, and only five small chambers of commerce were still struggling to support themselves in the trade zone.
In this world of cultivators, if you want to do business, you must have the capital to protect yourself, and in addition to the extraordinary strength of the alliance leader Immortal Kulu, even the other three sages invited by the merchant alliance are all mediocre in strength, and there are no special means. This is also one of the reasons why those small chambers of commerce withdrew from the business alliance, without the protection of force, then doing business will only be a soft persimmon in the eyes of the powerful chamber of commerce, let it be suppressed and kneaded.
Just when everyone was watching the jokes of the Immortal Rebellion Business Alliance, they ushered in their own spring, because there were suddenly four strong people in the Immortal Rebellion Business Alliance. It is said that these four people are the friends made by the alliance leader Immortal Kulu during his travels, and among them there is a high-level existence of a Sage, which is like a bolt from the blue for the other three chambers of commerce.
The three major chambers of commerce that originally wanted to continue to suppress the Immortal Rebellion Business Alliance also turned off their flames, as if nothing had happened, and they also chose to give up on the few small chambers of commerce that they had just started supporting.
The Holy Fire Island, as the base of the Holy Flame Chamber of Commerce, is filled with a strong fire-attribute aura on this island, and even if it is surrounded by seawater, it still can't extinguish this kind of fire-attribute aura, the reason is that this island is almost filled with this scorching volcano.
In order to maintain the operation of the Chamber of Commerce, the Holy Flame Chamber of Commerce has gathered many Holy Ranks, and there are more than ten of them, all of whom have been rescued by the Holy Flame Chamber of Commerce to a greater or lesser extent, so they are willing to be the guardians of this Chamber of Commerce.
Holy Spirit Hall, this is one of the core areas of the Holy Fire Island, because there are many sages in the Chamber of Commerce with the identity jade plates placed here, and their safety can be seen from here. Although it is only an identity jade plate, it is still not accessible to everyone, and the person who is responsible for cleaning the Holy Spirit Hall is a ninth-order cultivator, which shows the respect of the Holy Flame Chamber of Commerce for those holy orders.
Of course, the Holy Spirit Hall is protected by a special dust-proof formation, so there is no need to clean it every day, after half a month, when the cultivator in charge of cleaning came over for routine work, he found that one of the identity jade plaques hanging in the air was already only red strings, and the jade plaques had already disappeared.
This cultivator's first reaction when he saw the jade plaque disappear was to check if anyone had entered the Holy Spirit Hall without permission, because the possibility of being stolen could not be ruled out, but after checking many prohibitions, he had to recognize one thing, that is, there was a Sage in the Holy Flame Chamber of Commerce who had fallen, and he was also the most senior Sage - Fire Worshipper Shanggan.
Shang Gan's death instantly caused an uproar in the entire Gathering Immortal Sect Sea Area, if he was only a Saint Rank, the most important thing was that he was carrying a month's income from the Holy Flame Merchant Alliance in the Jiao Feng Immortal Trade Zone. That's an astronomical sum, and if it does disappear, it will definitely be a big deal for the Flame Chamber of Commerce that can break their bones.
The identity jade plate has been broken, and it is impossible to lock Shang Gan's traces through it, so there can only be the most ordinary way, a carpet search of the entire sea area, hoping to find a little clue.
It was not only the Sages of the Sacred Flame Chamber of Commerce who were dispatched, but even the other two major chambers of commerce also joined the search operation, and even the Gathering Immortal Sect sent a group of people, but they searched through the entire Gathering Immortal Sect's sea area, but they still found nothing.
I'm afraid that everyone in the Holy Flame Chamber of Commerce couldn't imagine that Shang Gan's route when he returned to the headquarters did not follow the agreed route, but went around to the Jiaoren Sea area on his own initiative, and for the selfish desires in his heart, he even avoided the eyes of various forces, so his death can be described as unaware.
In fact, the Jiaoren sea area has been harmed by the bitter fruit of its own making, and the number of Jiaoren has been declining sharply for thousands of years, coupled with the killing of various forces, there are almost no strong people in the Jiaoren clan, which makes people gradually relax their vigilance.
It stands to reason that even if the battle between Lu Lin and Shang Gan broke out for a short time, the fluctuations that could be caused should be collected by the eyes of the strength of all parties, but they didn't, it was completely someone secretly helping Lu Lin, but he didn't know it.
The Jiaoren Sea Area is hundreds of millions of kilometers away from the Jiaofengxian Trade Zone, so Lu Lin is not in a hurry, but chooses a comfortable life of sometimes flying and sometimes playing fishing.
In Lao Tao's words, see the truth in the ordinary. Sometimes comprehension requires a wedge, perhaps an unintentional action, or a small thing in life, so the high-level realm of the sage is to return to the basics.
Although the sea is vast and boundless, in the eyes of cultivators, especially for cultivators above the half-step holy level, it is not the same, at least they can choose to fly forward.
Just three days ago, Lu Lin, who had planned to fly thousands of kilometers in one day, was attracted by a teenager on a broken ship below. When the young man pulled the line, Lu Lin saw that there was no hook under his fishing line, so he came down to make friends out of curiosity.
"Brother Mu, where did you learn this hookless fishing technique, it's really enviable. At the other end of the broken wooden boat, Lu Lin, who had pulled up the hook, was quite frustrated, and the clever fish had obviously run away again.
In the whole morning, Lu Lin just caught more than ten fish. Looking at the curtain Xu Zhi who was wearing a hat, although the fish basket behind him was empty, Lu Lin knew that the other party no longer knew how many fish had been released.
