Wangxi Mansion as the capital of the western border of Youzhou, is an important city for the Baishi Zhang family to communicate with the outside world, although the permanent population is not large, but it is prosperous and abnormal, the city is full of merchants, the world's rare goods can be purchased here.

There are many mountain ranges in Youzhou, and most of them are inaccessible dangerous places, all of which guard the Thousand Demon Mountains where the demons gather, so every year there are a large number of demon beast materials and spiritual grass for sale, this income accounts for about thirty percent of the Zhang's annual foreign trade, a few years ago because of the war, there are a large number of goods have been deposited, with the end of the war, the chambers of commerce of all sizes in Shenzhou immediately sent people to the north to purchase goods, every day there are a large number of caravans to transport these goods to the south, and there are also a large number of goods from all over the south into Youzhou.

Wangxi Mansion to the west, a full 1,900 miles away, to reach the Beihai Mansion of Jizhou, there are Baiyun Mountain, Qingxi Valley, Wusheng Mountain, Ghost Crying Stream and other dangerous places in the middle, along the way by no means peaceful. Therefore, large and small chambers of commerce will hire some casual cultivators as guards to ensure the safety of the goods, but the realm of casual cultivation that can be hired will not be too high, and most of them are cultivators in the Qi cultivation period, which is not of great use at all. Fortunately, several major forces along the way also need these chambers of commerce to purchase some materials, and they will take the initiative to maintain the safety along the road. It's just that in some small roads that are too remote, there will still be some bandits, bandits, and scattered demons, and at this time, these hired loose cultivators are needed to protect the safety of the caravan.

However, all the people in the Xuanmen who had something to rely on were unwilling to engage in this kind of work, not only delaying their cultivation, but also not gaining very much. Only some sects have been destroyed, and the lowly cultivators who have perished their families can only engage in this somewhat face-losing job for the sake of these meager rewards.

Qiuxian Lane is located in the corner of the northern city of Wangxi Province, where all the buildings are made of bluestone, crowded with inns and shops of all sizes. This is the place where casual cultivators are hired, and every casual cultivator only needs to sit on the road of Qiuxian Lane, and naturally someone from the chamber of commerce will take the initiative to ask.

Recently, this place has been more lively than before, because of the previous war, many small and medium-sized sects were destroyed in the war, so there are a large number of scattered cultivators in the entire Youzhou territory.

Beijia Xiangyun Pan sat in an inconspicuous corner, the location here was very bad, almost in the deepest part of Qiuxian Lane, the Chamber of Commerce would rarely walk here, but it was not easy for him to find this position, because his realm was too poor.

He was just 14 years old this year, from Beijiagou, thirty miles outside Wangxi Mansion, and was a monk in the early stage of qi refining. The ancient surname of Beijia is almost as old as Youzhou, and seven hundred years ago, this family was able to compete with the Zhang family. It's just that in seven hundred years, the gap between the two sides has gradually changed, the Zhang family is getting stronger day by day, and the Beijia family has declined to the point of only a dozen clansmen, and the highest cultivation in the clan is only the foundation building period, and it has long lost its former glory.

In the previous war, Beijiagou was completely destroyed, and only Beijia Xiangyun survived the originally scarce clansmen, he was just a monk in the Qi refining period, and he couldn't do it to the point of Bigu, if he wanted to survive, he needed to eat and drink normally, fortunately, there were still some properties left in the family, but he was too young to understand the truth of wealth not being exposed, and even these properties were snatched away by a group of soldiers of the Zhang family, and he was seriously injured.

After recovering from his injury, he knew in his heart that Youzhou was no longer suitable for him to live, and he had to leave here to find another sect to take refuge in order to revitalize his family.

It's just that leaving Youzhou is not a simple matter, the Zhang family strictly controls the contact between Youzhou and the outside world, and ordinary people are not allowed to enter and leave Zhenmaguan without going through the customs clearance. And the handling of customs clearance documents required the submission of complex written explanations to the city lord's mansion, and also required a small amount of money, which he could not do. Fortunately, in addition to this method, you can also become a caravan guard, so that you can also get the qualification to go out. After all, the major chambers of commerce will hand over a considerable fortune to the Zhang family every year.

It's just that it is not a simple matter to become the guard of the caravan, the realm of Beijia Xiangyun is too low, and he is too young, and he lacks experience in the rivers and lakes at a glance, and the major chambers of commerce will not choose such a person, so he has been staying in Qiuxian Lane for more than two months, seeing that the monks around him have changed batch after batch, only he has never been selected.

If there is no chamber of commerce to pick him, he will have to spend all his dishes and live on the streets, after all, it costs to live in a hotel.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but have a sour nose and red circles, and he was about to cry again, as a direct son of the Beijia family, it was already a shame to come to Qiuxian Lane since he was willing to fall, and now he was even more faced with the situation of becoming a beggar, how could he not be sad.

"Childe, look at this person!" Suddenly, a pleasant voice sounded in his ears, and in front of him, a group of strangers appeared, led by a young man in a black robe, who looked similar in age to himself, but looking at his clothes and bearing, it was obvious that he was a real noble son, and he was very different from himself.

Behind the young man, there stood two stunning women, one in black armor, with a cold face, and a look of disdain in her eyes from time to time, while the other girl was dressed in a pink dress, and her face was as holy and pretty as a fairy in the painting. Beijia Xiangyun was so intoxicated that he completely forgot how rude it was to look at a young girl like this.

"Hmph!" Suddenly, a cold snort calmed Beijia Xiangyun, and he realized that after the two girls, there were also two tall and strong men, who looked similar and were full of savage aura, which made people feel a chill behind them at a glance.

The aura on these five people is very strong, it turned out to be five monks in the foundation building period, Beijia Xiangyun couldn't help but be shocked in his heart, do you still need to come here to seek immortals for such a cultivation?

These five people are Zhang Xiaoshan and his entourage, he took Tu Qianqian all the way south, but he encountered obstacles in Zhenmaguan, it turned out that because of the previous trial conference, all the people needed to pray for the fallen seven people. The entire thirty-six prefectures and twelve checkpoints in Youzhou have all entered the period of lockdown, and no one can move around at will except for the eight major chambers of commerce.

And in the entire border area of Youzhou, all kinds of forbidden formations have also been opened, strictly preventing monks above the Jindan period from entering and leaving at will, the purpose of the Zhang family was originally to catch those dragon demon cultivators who sneaked into the territory, but Zhang Xiaoshan was trapped. Three k

He was helpless, and he didn't want to have any form of conflict with the Zhang family, so he had to return to Wangxi Mansion, and after many inquiries, he thought of a way to use the Chamber of Commerce to leave Youzhou.

Originally, he only wanted to experience the life of a guard alone, but Tu Qianqian shouted to accompany him, and the reason for Hotaru Huang and the Yuan brothers was even more sufficient, as a spirit animal, he had to protect his master, and as a gentle master, he had to agree to the request of these "disobedient" spirit beasts.

Tu Qianqian and Zhang Xiaoshan both took the Spirit Elixir and compressed their cultivation to the cultivation of the foundation building period, after all, it was too terrifying to enter the Immortal Seeking Lane with their cultivation in the Jin Dan period, and the three of them believed that no one could discover their true strength, just disguise themselves as the foundation building period.

The five of them had extremely high vision, thinking that the foundation building period was already a very low realm, but they completely forgot that most of the people in Xuanmen were staying at this stage, and even Wangxi Mansion City advocated that Yunji was only in the Jindan period, not to mention that he was already more than sixty years old.

Therefore, as soon as Zhang Xiaoshan and the others entered Qiuxian Lane, they immediately caused a sensation, and the representatives of the eight major chambers of commerce stationed here quickly told the news to their big shopkeepers, after all, if they won five monks in the foundation building period, the safety along the way was naturally guaranteed, and the most valuable goods could be transported out of Youzhou.

Zhang Xiaoshan looked at the surprised eyes of the people around him, and also felt that his party was a little too high-profile, so he could only take his own people to the location where Beijia Xiangyun was, but saw a young man of his age crying so sadly.

"Fellow Daoist, can I sit next to you?" Zhang Xiaoshan said with a smile.

Beijia Xiangyun has grown so big, no one has ever called him a fellow Daoist, and most people laugh and call him a "fake son", saying that he gave birth to a good skin for nothing, but he fell into a down-and-out family. He has become accustomed to the ridicule of those around him, but he does not feel the respect of others. At this time, he was called so by Zhang Xiaoshan, he was a little overwhelmed, and he forgot to answer for a while.

"Hey, boy, our son is talking to you! You can't be deaf!" Yuan Wei's loud voice shook the surrounding eaves trembling slightly.

was yelled at by Yuan Wei, Beijia Xiangyun immediately reacted, quickly got up and let go of his dirty cushion, and said respectfully: "Before... Seniors, please... You may be seated!"

Zhang Xiaoshan glanced back at Yuan Wei, and said to Beijia Xiangyun with a smile: "You and I are of the same age, it is better to be commensurate with our peers, there is no need for so much courtesy!"

Tu Qianqian casually put her hand on the ground, and there were five more pairs of futons made of heavenly silk on the ground.

Beijia Xiangyun was shocked: "Ah! Heaven and earth... "After all, he was born in a big family, and he still knows some things in the books that have been handed down, and naturally he also knows that there is a treasure called Qiankun magic weapon, which can store all kinds of items, and it is a treasure that all cultivators dream of, and the price is extremely expensive. These seniors actually possessed such treasures, so why did they come here to seek immortals? This Qiankun magic weapon alone can be sold for a sky-high price, which is enough to establish a small sect.

Zhang Xiaoshan smiled bitterly, these people are really not good at pretending to be poor, and they will definitely show their feet, so it is better to ...... He suddenly looked at Beijia Xiangyun, and a plan rose in his heart.

"Little brother, I have a request, I wonder if you can agree?" Zhang Xiaoshan said with a smile.

"Senior, please advise!" Beijia Xiangyun hurriedly replied.

"We're new to our group and need a guide, I don't know if you'd like to join us, I... I can... Invite you with five lower grade spirit stones!" Zhang Xiaoshan thought for a while and said a price that he thought was very suitable.

"Ahh

Under the gaze of everyone, Beijia Xiangyun heard the five spirit stones, and his eyes rolled and he fainted.
