Although his whereabouts were revealed and he was a little embarrassed, Hotaru still brought back the information that Zhang Xiaoshan was most concerned about. Just as Zhang Xiaoshan was worried about, there was really something wrong with the task of listening to the tide this time.

Among the goods that need to be transported this time, there are three extremely rare live cloud swallowing beast cubs, this cloud swallowing beast is a strange demon beast, the juvenile likes to live on the top of the high mountain shrouded in clouds and mist, and lives by devouring clouds and mist, and is good at the two elemental laws of wind and water. When you become an adult, you can naturally advance to the Jindan stage of cultivation. If it's just like that, of course, it won't attract the attention of others.

The current sky-high price of the Cloud Swallowing Beast is formed in two stages, and in the first stage, a high-level monk discovered that after giving an adult Cloud Swallowing Beast a three-year-old medicinal pill of Danyang Grass, it will continue to swallow the cloud mist, which is rich and white, and contains a trace of aura, which can decorate the sacred aura of the mountain gate where the sect is located. It's just that at this time, the role of the Cloud Swallowing Beast is dispensable, and the environment in which it lives is harsh, the price is only a dozen low-grade spirit stones, and few people will specifically catch them for sale.

Things changed again seven hundred years ago, when a sect suddenly emerged in Jingzhou in the south, called "Hanging Pot Sect", which was originally just a small sect, barely maintained in a treacherous, barren valley, except for the sect master and an elder, there were only twelve disciples. It is such an inconspicuous sect, but it suddenly rose within ten years, the disciples in the door are all profound, with a good cultivation, among the twelve young disciples, but also broke out of a "Twelve Plague Star King" of the prestige, a sharp plague practice smile proud of the entire Jingzhou, it took three years to subdue all the sects in Jingzhou. Even the dignified Sima Royal took the initiative to show favor and gave Jingzhou to the Hanging Pot Sect to manage it on his behalf, but it was strange to say that such a sect had secretly purchased the young Cloud Swallowing Beast for a long time. Some sects sent secret agents to enter the Hanging Pot Sect and found that the rise of the Hanging Pot Sect was all achieved by the Cloud Swallowing Beast, as long as the juvenile Cloud Swallowing Beast was given the highly poisonous Purple Heart Grass for a long time, the adult Cloud Swallowing Beast would regularly swallow out a purple smoke, and this smoke would be collected and refined into an elixir, but the monk could successfully advance to the Golden Pill Stage and have a terrible poison skill. It's just that the lifespan of the Cloud Swallowing Beasts cultivated with this method is extremely short, and they are almost about to die as soon as they become adults, so if they want to strengthen the sect through this method, they need a large number of young Cloud Swallowing Beasts to replenish them.

After hundreds of years of capture, the Cloud Swallowing Beast has almost disappeared in the wild, and the price of a single one has reached three thousand spirit stones, which can almost buy thirty or forty medium-grade spirit weapons, but even so, the Cloud Swallowing Beast is still in short supply. I don't know where Tingchaoju caught these three young beasts, and now they urgently need to be transported to Jingzhou, and once they are sold, they will be extremely profitable.

Originally, Tingchaoju didn't need to hire casual cultivators from outside, and only the monks they supported themselves could complete this task, but they didn't know where the mistake was, this time the news leaked out, and the road to the south must be full of dangers, and some casual cultivation must be added as bait in front, almost all the monks above the Qi cultivation period in the city were hired by Tingchaoju, and Zhang Xiaoshan They were the last batch.

According to Hotaru Huang, Tingchaoju sent a total of two Jindan stage protectors to sit in the town, and one of them even reached the realm of the late Jindan stage, practicing a rare wind attribute mental method, which can detect changes around him according to the flow of the breeze. It was because of this that Hotaru Huang accidentally exposed his whereabouts for a while, and then another fire attribute Jindan period protector immediately rushed to help, but the difference in strength between the two sides was too big, even if the two of them combined could not match Hotaru Huang, if it weren't for Zhang Xiaoshan's instructions in advance not to kill or injure people, the two would have been killed by Hotaru Huang.

After listening to Hotaru Huang's narration, Zhang Xiaoshan pondered in his heart, he originally planned to easily follow Tingchaoju on a trip, and it was easy for the four major sect lords, but now it seems that his people have been regarded as victims by others, and in this case, of course he will not go to the agreement three days later.

This sudden explosion made the entire Wangxi Mansion immediately nervous, after all, the shadow of the previous war had not completely dissipated, and now the entire Youzhou was in a closed state, so the residents in the city immediately became nervous. The guards of the Zhang family stationed nervously patrolled around the city, searching for suspicious people, and the noise in the city came and went, and it was not quiet until dawn the next day, but the raid really yielded something, and two hidden Sima family spies were caught in a private house.

As for Tingchaoju, it is not exempt from responsibility, after all, the explosion occurred in the back hall of Tingchaoju's shop.

Of course, Chaoju would not say that someone was trying to spy on his own affairs, but made up a ridiculous lie, saying that the guy who was on duty at night was lazy and dozed off at night, and did not pay attention to the candle flame in the store, so that a warehouse where fuel was stored caught fire and caused an explosion, and he also tied up a guy and handed it over to the city lord's mansion, and promised to be willing to pay for the repair of the losses caused by this incident.

Something like this happened, these scattered immortals in the city's Qiuxian Alley, naturally it is impossible to stay out of the matter, for these monks of unknown origin, the Zhang family has always paid close attention, from all kinds of signs, there are indeed a few strange scattered cultivators in the Qiuxian Lane are suspicious, the timing of these people's appearance is too coincidental, and the cultivation is not low. It's just that after some investigation, the City Lord's Mansion didn't catch any clues, so it had to increase the secret supervision here. Newcastle

Since the task of listening to Chaoju cannot participate, it is necessary to consider the tasks of the other seven families, among which Xianjulou, Baiweitang, and Yueyou Xiaoju are the direction that Zhang Xiaoshan focuses on, so at noon on the second day, under the instruction of Zhang Xiaoshan, Beijia Xiangyun came forward, and they took over the task of Xianjulou instead.

This task is very simple, but it is to help Xianjulou deliver seven lower-grade spiritual weapons to Yanzhou, which is much easier than the task of listening to Chaoju, but the commission is also pitiful, but it is only 10,000 taels of silver leaves. This money can only hire some monks in the Qi cultivation period, and no one in the high-level monks is willing to take it, so this task has been pending for a long time, and even some monks in the Qi training period are unwilling to participate. Xianjulou didn't expect that there were now five monks in the foundation building period who were willing to participate, and he was really overjoyed. They also knew in their hearts that Zhang Xiaoshan and these people were willing to take on this task, they must have other plans, and it was likely that they were just taking advantage of the opportunity to escort the goods to leave Youzhou smoothly, but this situation is too common, everyone needs what they need and uses each other, anyway, before leaving, both parties to the agreement will sign a soul contract, with the protection of this kind of heaven and earth rules, and each other does not have to worry about other situations on the way.

The reason why Zhang Xiaoshan finally chose the task of Xianjulou was also because the time to start was early, and the team was about to set off at 16:00 on the same day.

After the two sides signed the contract, Zhang Xiaoshan and the others left directly with the head of the immortal gathering building, and came to Wangguimen in the west of the city to handle the matters of leaving the city.

Wangguimen is one of the landmark buildings of Wangxi Mansion, it is the Zhang family elder association with a huge boulder refining, itself is a huge inferior spiritual weapon, nine feet high, below is a huge round square, in eight directions erected eight different forms of the heaven-shaking roar of the law body, the square is surrounded by a variety of shops and warehouses, the city lord's mansion built here "Caiyi Hall" is responsible for docking and liaison with the major chambers of commerce. The head of the Caiyi Hall is concurrently served by the lord of the castle, and does not work in the hall, but the deputy hall master actually handles the daily affairs.

According to normal practice, Zhang Xiaoshan and his entourage only need to sit in the carriage and wait for Xianjulou to handle various matters, and they do not need to show up, let alone be questioned and checked, which is the Zhang family's respect for the Xuanmen colleagues. It's just that maybe because there was a battle in the city just now, the city lord's mansion sent a large number of guards to check on the monks who left the city one by one, and everyone had to explain their origins.

Seeing this, Zhang Xiaoshan just handed the crystal stone representing the identity of the Zhang family's disciple to Beijia Xiangyun and asked him to deal with it. Beijia Xiangyun didn't know what was going on, and completely according to Zhang Xiaoshan's instructions, when dealing with the interrogation, he showed the crystal stone Fang Yi, and the Zhang family guard, who was still fierce and vicious just now, immediately changed his attitude, showed a look of understanding, turned around and walked away. Of course, these guards recognized the identity of the Zhang family, and thought that Beijia Xiangyun and the others were comrades who were going to carry out secret missions, so where would they stop them.

The deputy hall master of Caiyi Hall who got the news also sent someone to give priority to the departure of the Xianjulou team from the city, and everyone in the Zhang family knew that carrying out this kind of secret mission was the most dangerous, and it would be seriously injured at least and fall directly at worst. The City Lord's Mansion can't provide any other help, so I can only pray that these people will be well.

In this way, Zhang Xiaoshan and the others finally followed the team of Xianjulou and left Wangxi Mansion City smoothly.

The Xianjulou team set off in a mighty way, there were a total of fifty-five carriages alone, of which twenty-five were loaded with various goods, while the remaining fifteen were loaded with various daily necessities and food used along the way, and the other ten were for personnel to ride. Among them, the person in charge of Xianjulou owned five cars, and the other five cars were hired by Zhang Xiaoshan and other loose repair guards. The samurai of the secular world rode horses and guarded the sides of the procession.

Zhang Xiaoshan sat in the center of the carriage, Tu Qianqian and Yinghuang guarded him on his left and right, while Beijia Xiangyun stared at Zhang Xiaoshan with a puzzled face, although he was young, but he was not stupid, through all kinds of weirdness, he had already judged that the identity of Zhang Xiaoshan and others was not simple, the crystal stone in his hand, he didn't recognize it when he first saw it, and after thinking about it carefully at the moment, it really reminded him of some things. In the books handed down in the family, it is recorded that the tokens and accessories of the children of the Zhang family have a description of this kind of spar.

He couldn't help but wonder in his heart, could this group of people be from the Zhang family?
