Volume 1 The Age of Chaos Chapter 101 The Long Way Forward
A month later, Linxue City.
The city has continued the popularity of Tai Chi for more than a month and entered a new stage.
In the beginning, people's enthusiasm was to buy and practice the basic version of Taijiquan, and after the martial artists in the whole city basically mastered this skill, some of the martial artists who had saved up bought the refined version themselves and communicated with their better friends, so there was no more financial resources to go further, but others came up with new ways.
They began to seek out bosses or forces who had the financial resources to sign contracts to work for them, or promised them to complete complex tasks in exchange for the complete Tai Chi provided by the financiers.
In Linxue City, some wealthy financiers took the opportunity to gather a large number of subordinates, and they only needed to buy a complete copy of Taijiquan to recruit many masters who had to pay more to hire before.
Then, the city's market gradually approached saturation, and the sales of books began to fall off a cliff, but in every large and small martial arts arena in the city, you can see martial artists practicing Taijiquan.
In the tea room of the Hanging Pavilion Mansion, Qi Wanli, Bai Qiyu, and Li Chengxin sat opposite each other, talking about the next plan.
Luo Haijie stood aside, now he has become Qi Wanli's henchman, during this time, he gradually began to recruit and train disciples for Xiaoyao Academy, and at the same time, he also knew Qi Wanli's real name, of course, now he has no way to really understand the true meaning behind the three words "Qi Wanli".
A month ago, Qibai and the others returned safely, and Li Cheng naturally asked them to the bottom of their experience. But Qi Wanli heard Bai Qiyu say that Yan Xuan's identity background, so he naturally had some precautions.
On the one hand, the uncle of the Shuo Dynasty, and on the other hand, the inheritance of the national teacher of the Shuo Dynasty, he would not be stupid enough to explain that Yan Xuan had been killed.
So, Qi Wanli gave full play to his best storytelling ability, told a thrilling story vividly, and said that the ending was that Yan Xuan was seriously injured and escaped by some means of self-harm under the protection of several secret envoys, and disappeared.
Although it is still in front of Li Careful to express an attitude that is incompatible with Yan Xuan, it will not be a life-and-death decision.
It is unknown whether Li carefully believed these nonsense. But after listening to the story, the girl didn't say anything anymore, and revealed some things, after all, for them now, business cooperation is much more important, as long as the person who has mastered the core technology in this cooperation is okay, then it's okay.
"The market for Taijiquan in Linxue is saturated. Li carefully pushed his glasses, and his fingers tapped on the pages of the market report on the table: "Master Wanli, what are you going to do next?"
Qi Wanli stroked the black king who was asleep on his lap, and said with a smile: "We are ready to set off for the Western Continent, but before leaving, we still have to dig deep into the Linxue market, the cheats of the "Tiyun Vertical Basic Edition" two days ago have been printed. ”
"Tiyun Zong, that's that one, light work!" Li Chengcheng's eyes lit up suddenly, and he clapped his hands and shouted: "Your feet can fly up with your feet in the air!"
Bai Qiyu smiled slightly, and said, "Actually, our Tiyun Vertical has been improved to achieve more complex and exquisite technology. For example, walking on water, stepping on leaves, etc., is truly 'light'. ”
Qi Wanli saw a look of disbelief in Li Chengcheng's eyes, so he smiled and said, "Brother Luo, demonstrate it for Fifth Miss." ”
Luo Haijie answered, turned around and walked out of the tea room.
In the courtyard outside the teahouse, there was a pond that was not big or small, and after Luo Haijie and several of them also came out of the tearoom, he shouted: "Look at it!"
At the moment when Luo Haijie was about to fall into the water, he stretched out a toe, lightened on the water, and jumped up again, and on the water surface that he clicked, the ripples spread out a few times, and it quickly calmed down, as if there was only a fallen leaf in the water just now.
In this way, he tread on his tiptoes and picked up the waves, like a water eagle skimming, and landed lightly on the opposite side of the pond.
At the same time, Qi Wanli stood beside Li Xianxing, who was full of little stars in his eyes, and explained: "Brother Luo is practicing the light skills of the finished book, and he has not practiced for a long time, just over a month, so he has actually just reached the level of the second stage - the refined version. This is still the result of Brother Luo's innate familiarity with the operation of divine power and his rapid learning progress. ”
"At the moment, the limit of what he can do is to float on the water. Of course, he can also jump higher and farther than before, and he can also do three or four aerial power changes in the air. In addition, it does not mean that the complete Tiyun has reached the limit, in fact, even if the cultivator's realm is no longer improved, there is no upper limit to martial arts such as light skills, and he can figure out many tricks. ”
"According to my thoughts, the propaganda direction of light power can be biased towards 'saving life', in battle, especially in large-scale battles with monsters, you can master the best light skill footwork, and its survival chance can be greatly improved. In addition, for some soldiers and mercenaries who are mainly engaged in reconnaissance work, light work is also an excellent tool. ”
Listening to Qi Wanli's explanation, watching Luo Haijie tread the water again from the other side of the pond, the brilliance in Li Chengcheng's eyes could no longer be hidden.
She clenched her little fists, waved them vigorously, and shouted, "Sell, sell, sell!"
Bai Qiyu also said appropriately at this time: "In addition, the Xiaoyao Bookstore opened in Linxue will be the first bookstore for each of our cheats to be on the new bookstore for a period of time in the future." ”
This time, Li Cheng was passing by in Linxue for a short time, because he encountered the extraordinary and irregular ring competition, so he stayed for a while. Unexpectedly, after encountering various incidents in a row, she also temporarily took over the management of the Hanging Pavilion here.
Although she has now appointed Lin Xue to be in charge of the Hanging Pavilion next, as long as she is here, of course, she will mainly be in charge. Therefore, Li Chengxin, who had never had the actual right to appoint a geographical person before, had the choice of arranging his own henchmen for the first time here.
In other words, Linxue City is not only the place where Qi Wanli started to become Xiaoyao Academy, but also the place where Li Cheng began to expand her real power, and considering the economic status and geographical location of Linxue City, this place is very important to her.
Bai Qiyu's sentence just scratched her itchy flesh, which made her feel comfortable for a while.
"You really have a heart. Li carefully smiled.
Qi Wanli smiled and said: "It is still a long process to open up the situation in the Western Continent, and we have made great achievements in Linxue City, this choice is also helpful to us, and the market reaction here will be the basis for us to do things in the Western Continent." ”
"Master Wanli is the most powerful!" Li carefully praised and said, "Then our Hanging Pavilion will definitely cooperate fully." By the way, Master, have you figured out which city to start with first after you go to the Western Continent?"
Qi Wanli and Bai Qiyu glanced at each other and said with a smile: "Yuhai City." ”
This is a question they have been thinking about all this time, and it was only a few days ago that they finally settled on this answer. Yuhai City is the capital of Xichuan Province in Shuochao, although it is not one of the top cities in the country, but it is definitely not small, it can be regarded as prosperous, if you want to compare with the barren southern continent, it is not worse than Zhendong City.
In addition, like Zhendong City, Yuhai City is also a seaside city, with very developed transportation and a high degree of economic development, and the people there have much stronger spending power.
Of course, the most important point still has to fall on the audience of Qi Wanli who sells books and accepts apprentices.
Yuhai City was the third most populous city in the Shuo Dynasty, with a large population. After going out to sea dozens of nautical miles west from Yuhai City, you can encounter a marine monster called "Qiong Shrimp", which lives in large groups and has average strength, but the materials that can be extracted from the body are extremely practical and of high value, so around this marine monster, there are related industrial chains and a large number of related practitioners.
Of course, there are many extraordinary.
Interestingly, although there was no Abyss Temple in the Shuo Dynasty, there were many Abyss Emissaries who came to Yuhai City to make money, and their numbers were scarce, but they could play a great role in catching Qiong shrimp, so the status of these Abyss Emissaries was very high, and they were extremely powerful in suppressing the transcendence of the other three cultivation paths.
Once they have a cheat that can greatly improve their strength, those martial artists, sky walkers, and life dependents may be able to master better wealth-making skills, which is tantamount to a charcoal in the snow.
However, the most important thing is not yet this reason.
Two weeks ago, a message reached Bai Qiyu's ears through Li Cheng - in the sea near Yuhai City, a powerful strange creature appeared, which could be determined not to be a known monster. In the midst of a storm, a crumbling fishing boat stumbles upon the creature as it slaughters monsters in the sea in a frenzy until the sea is covered in blood.
Bai Qiyu guessed that it was possible, it was a demon.
All of the above causes made them have the idea that they had to go to Yuhai City, and Yuhai City originally had good conditions, so they decided to take root there.
"Xiaoyao Academy will truly establish a sect in Yuhai City. Qi Wanli said lightly.
Li Yixin's eyes flashed, he looked at Bai Qiyu Yiyu, pouted and said with a dry smile: "Is it for that rumor? Do you think it's a demon? Sister Little Bailong, are you looking for the same kind?"
Bai Qiyu clasped his hands to his chest, and said indifferently: "Yu Haishi is also very suitable for us, as for whether it is a demon or not, we will only know after watching it." ”
"Miss Ben doesn't bother to care if you're a demon or not. Li carefully raised his eyebrows and said, "As long as we can make money together!"
Whatever you still ask?
Qi Wanli saw Bai Qiyu's eyes narrowed slightly, and hurriedly stopped him, and said, "Okay, Fifth Miss, it's not too early today, let's leave first." Soon, we will be departing for the Western Continent, which should be in these days. ”
"When the time comes, the business on our side will be run by the Hanging Pavilion, and I believe that you will definitely be able to sell Tiyun Zong more popular than Taijiquan. ”
"That's nature. Lee carefully tilted his face smugly.
Qi Wanli smiled, hugged the black king who was still dozing, looked up at the sun in the sky, and said, "Summer is coming, the name Bai Xiaoyao should also leave Linxue." ”
A butterfly wakes up from the Blackstone Mountains on the far eastern coast, gently flapps its wings and soars into the sky.
The sea breeze blows, and it travels by the wind, searching for the aromatic taste in the air.
This breeze swirled and drew circles, from east to west, blowing across the continent of the Dalu Mountains, sending the butterfly all the way to the west.
Next, it will follow this wind through the corridor of Louling and enter a new and prosperous world that is different from the barren southern continent.
