Chapter 378: You Know
"In Xiajiang, it is a casual cultivation that often lives in Xikou City."
The fat-eared male cultivator didn't care about Chen Ping's lukewarm attitude, hugged his fists slightly, and said with a smile: "My Taoist friend inquired about the boat class at the ferry before, it should be to rush to the sea area of Shuangcheng in March?" ”
"Jiang Daoyou has something to say, it's okay."
Chen Ping said lightly while flying away.
This Jiang Yiyan guessed his itinerary, and there was nothing surprising about it.
He did not deliberately conceal his voice when he inquired at the ferry, and the conversation was overheard by someone who cares, which was also extremely normal.
"Ye Daoyou said so, then Jiang won't go around the corner."
Jiang Yishen couldn't help but smile on his face, arched his hand again, and said cautiously: "It's not a secret, Jiang also plans to go to Shuangcheng after March, but Daoyou is not a local monk, maybe it is not clear, the next head of the ship guard monk will be the turn of Zhou Wuchun's seniors." ”
"Oh?"
Chen Ping raised his eyebrows and said suspiciously: "What does it have to do with Senior Zhou?" ”
He knew the name of Zhou Wuchun.
One of the five great elders of the Zhou family, and the youngest among them.
"The sea area of Shuangcheng is very far away from Xikou Island, and this route is extremely important, so the Yuan Dan predecessors of the Zhou family will take turns to sit on the spirit ship, and rotate once a year in order."
Jiang Yiyan got closer with the flying spirit weapon, and after looking around and seeing that no one was paying attention to them, he said rather secretly: "Although Zhou Wuchun's predecessors are in the Yuan Dan realm, they are only in the early stage, and their supernatural powers are at the bottom of the Zhou family's list of ancestors. ”
At this point, the words suddenly stopped, Jiang Yiyan gave a strange look, and sneered: "You know." ”
"Jiang Daoyou has been talking for a long time, which is equivalent to going around the bend, does he want Ye to guess?"
Chen Ping rolled his eyelids expressionlessly, and his unceremonious figure flashed, widening the distance between the two.
"Daoyou don't understand, just ask, some words are taboo, Jiang really can't say it without saying it."
Jiang Yishen frowned and quickly chased after him.
This time, he didn't show off the mystery, and sent a large amount of transmission to Chen Ping.
"Hehe, these juniors are actually picking and choosing between Yuan Dan monks like us."
Chen Ping was silent on the surface, and snorted coldly in his heart.
It turned out that although the Zhou family's twin-city route had been opened for many years, it was far from stable.
In just ten years, the Zhou family's spirit ship has undergone two major changes.
One was attacked by demon beasts, and the other was hijacked by evil cultivators.
If a low-level monk were to choose one of the two accidents, it was believed that nine out of nine people would choose to face the demon beast.
When the demon beast attacked, the cultivators could still escape a batch in a hurry, but the evil cultivators generally exterminated human nature, from Yuan Dan to Qi training, all of them were killed according to the killing.
Unless it was to loot the fleet of the Moon Sect, the evil cultivator may still have a lot of scruples, only taking property and not harming the lives of the passengers.
And the Xikou Zhou family obviously did not reach the point where the evil cultivators of the Twin Cities were afraid.
The last time the Zhou family spirit ship had an accident was guarded by Zhou Wuchun.
Under the encirclement and suppression of evil cultivators, Zhou Wuchun reluctantly returned with more than a dozen juniors who were injured in embarrassment, and the other more than 100 passengers did not know whether they were alive or dead.
The sinking of the spirit ship made Zhou Qianhong, a fake pill overhaul, furious, and immediately rushed to Shuangcheng to investigate, but in the end it seemed that nothing was found, and the matter was over.
"What do you think of the proposal below?"
Jiang Yiyan's eyes flashed, and he said with a slight smile: "If you want to wait until the Zhou family's Fake Dan seniors are on duty on the spirit ship, it will be four years later." ”
After listening to him earnestly, Chen Ping touched his chin thoughtfully.
This Jiang Yiyan is disgusted that Zhou Wuchun's divine power is too low, and he may not be able to deter the evil cultivator who is about to move.
Just in case, he contacted his friends in the city, and recently contacted the Zhuji monks who wanted to go to the sea area of the Twin Cities at the ferry, and gathered everyone to form a team temporarily.
Assuming that the journey is safe, everyone will be happy.
But if there is an attack by demon beasts or evil cultivators, everyone needs to tide over the difficulties together.
After all, the combination of several foundation building monks with good strength can barely compete with the early stage of Yuan Dan in a short period of time.
In the case of a real foundation, it is very likely that he will agree directly, but Chen Ping is a strong man of the half-step Jindan, and it is not beneficial to team up with the juniors.
"Ye Mou......"
Chen Ping opened his mouth lightly, and just as he was about to refuse, two rays of light that walked side by side came obliquely, and after the brilliance fell, two figures, a man and a woman, slowly walked out.
The man was a tall, handsome young man with sword eyebrows, while the woman was dressed in a fiery red hunting suit and a purple cloak, and it was impossible to see her delicate face.
But I have to mention that this woman's compact long skirt fits her figure perfectly.
As she walked around, the bulging thing was about to come out, revealing a vast scale far beyond that of ordinary female cultivators.
Chen Ping glanced at it slightly, and then he was about to fly away without squinting.
"Doesn't Ye Daoyou have concerns?"
Jiang Yiyan's expression changed and he asked.
"Jiang Daoyou, since this friend is still hesitant and doesn't look down on our team, it is better to give up according to Qiu's opinion."
The handsome male cultivator's eyes shrank, and he said coldly: "Jiang Daoyou is also a famous boat refining master in Xikou City, why bother to ask for help?" ”
"Jiang Daoyou is a master of boat refining?"
His figure froze, and Chen Ping turned his head and asked.
"Qiu Daoyou, he has an overreputation, and he is just an ordinary monk who prefers boat-making skills. In recent years, I have tried several times to build a medium-sized spirit ship, but they have all failed, so I plan to go to the Twin Cities to learn the arts, hoping to break through the bottleneck. ”
Jiang Yiyan waved his hand again and again, and said with a wry smile without concealment.
"Okay, Ye should go down."
After pondering for a moment, Chen Ping nodded and said, "How can we get in touch?" ”
Jiang Yiyan's eyes lit up, and he replied, "Eighty-five days later, the day the tickets will go on sale, and we will meet at the western ferry port of the pier." ”
"Understood, Jiang Daoyou will meet again."
Chen Ping hugged his fists, his body was a few points faster, and he shot away in the direction of Xikou City.
From beginning to end, he ignored the meaning of the man and woman who came later.
"Haha, big brother, the effect of this trick is good, right?"
Seeing Chen Ping gradually flying away, the cold look on the face of the male cultivator surnamed Qiu disappeared instantly, and he squeezed his eyebrows and said: "As soon as he heard that the eldest brother was a master of boat refining, he immediately changed his mind, and he must have wanted to befriend you." ”
"I don't even have a success rate of refining a small spirit ship of less than thirty percent, and I am more than a few chips away from the alchemy master, so don't give me gold in the future."
Jiang Yi pointed at him and said helplessly.
"Big brother's boat refining skills stand out in Xikou City, and there are very few who stabilize you, why can't you be called a master?"
The male cultivator surnamed Qiu pursed his lips and retorted.
"Brother Jiang, how many colleagues have you contacted?"
Interrupting the conversation between the two, the woman in a tight-fitting outfit spoke crisply, and reached out to remove the cloak from her head, revealing a thrilling and gorgeous face.
"For the time being, Ye Daoyou is alone, Pingshui meets and distrusts each other, I'm afraid they are all preventing me from having bad intentions."
Jiang Yiyan sighed and said, "Sister Su, what about you, do you have a harvest?" ”
"Our progress is also not good, and only one male cultivator who has built the foundation of the Great Perfection is willing to join the team."
The female cultivator surnamed Su raised her eyebrows and said.
"Hehe, eldest brother, haven't you seen it, that guy looks at the third sister, and a pair of eyes are about to fall in."
The male cultivator surnamed Qiu snorted sourly, with a jealous expression.
"Alas, it's really hard to find the foundation building monk who went to Shuangcheng this year, the impact of Zhou Wuchun Zhou's predecessor's previous frigate failure is too bad, there is no urgency, everyone would rather wait a few more years."
Jiang Yiyan patted his forehead, and then said with a firm look in his eyes: "It's a pity that Master Gui of Floating Ghost City has only recruited closed disciples within a one-year period, so I can't miss this opportunity." ”
"Brother Jiang's business is important, anyway, there are still a few months to go, and if we pull two or three more Taoist friends into the team, we will have a bit of self-protection."
The female cultivator surnamed Su stared at her, and her red lips opened lightly.
"The second brother and the third sister worked hard to protect me from afar."
Jiang Yiyan's eyes swept over the two of them softly, and said with emotion.
"We have been friends for a hundred years, without the help of Brother Jiang, my second brother and I would have melted into nothingness in the belly of the demon beast, apprenticeship is related to the future of the eldest brother, we will do our best to help you no matter what."
The female cultivator surnamed Su said softly, with a different emotion in her eyes.
"That's it, big brother, what are you doing so outside!"
The male cultivator surnamed Qiu was straightforward and said with a big grin: "When the eldest brother returns from school, he will become the guest of the Zhou family once he becomes a guest, won't the third sister and I also follow suit?" At that time, you have a wide network of people, find a few Clear Void Leakage Pills, and we can break through the Yuan Dan realm together, and we can continue to stay together for hundreds of years! ”
"Ahem!"
Jiang Yiyan glared at him speechlessly, obviously knowing the second brother's slick temperament, he didn't bother to deal with him anymore, and said to himself: "If there is not enough manpower, I can only spend a sum of spirit stones to invite a half-step Yuan Dan to accompany me in the city." ”
After the three of them exchanged for a while, they dispersed and returned to the ferry to find their next target.
……
In the clouds dozens of miles away, Chen Ping walked forward unhurriedly, and he listened to the content of Jiang Yiyan and the others' conversation word for word.
Those three Zhuji are actually sworn brothers and sisters who have known each other for more than 100 years.
However, judging from the current situation, Jiang Yiyan and the others have no malicious intentions, and are simply looking for someone to form a team to ensure safety.
If not, Chen Ping didn't mind going back and pinching those little grasshoppers to death silently.
As for why he changed his mind and agreed to join the team, it was the male cultivator surnamed Qiu who said it.
Jiang Yiyan is a boat refiner, usually a monk with a mastery of skills, and he looks the other way.
But according to Jiang Yishen himself, the chance of refining a small spirit ship is less than 30%, and I don't know if it is because of his general talent, or because he has practiced less often.
"Hehe, wouldn't it be safer to have this seat to protect you all the way."
Chen Ping grinned, maybe he could find a way to turn Jiang Yiyan back to Chen's house.
Of course, the premise is that this person showed outstanding talent for boat refining in the later stage.
Otherwise, if he couldn't even build a small spirit boat safely, he wouldn't have so many high-grade materials for him to squander.
"Here we are."
After a cup of tea, Chen Ping's figure paused slightly, and he glanced at the magnificent city a few miles away from a distance.
I saw that the huge walls of this city were tall and sturdy, covered by a thick light curtain of light blue, and it was obviously a defensive formation.
In the sky above the light curtain, hundreds of blue-red glows kept flickering, and between the interweaving, the earth-shattering muffled thunder continued.
"At least two third-level formations."
Chen Ping's expression moved, and he no longer hesitated to shoot straight to Xikou City.
After just a few flashes, Qinghong arrived in front of a city gate and lowered it in a proper manner.
The monks guarding the city behind the light curtain naturally discovered Chen Ping's existence at this time, and did not show a surprised expression.
The cultivation in the later stage of foundation building, although it is also considered a master on Xikou Island, but the five Yuan Dan of the Zhou family stand tall, and there is no need to pay too much attention to it.
Chen Ping had spiritual powers, and even though he was far away, he could still see the expressions of the monks on the city gate clearly.
was ignored by others, but it was exactly what he wanted.
After sweeping around the city, Chen Ping chose a team and waited in line to enter the city with no different face.
The prosperity of Xikou City is far from being comparable to the likes of Haichang and Jinrui.
Two passages, respectively for building the foundation, Qi practitioners enter the city.
There were a few people sparsely lined up in the Zhuji passage, while the long dragon of the other passage stretched for more than ten miles, and there was no end in sight.
This also reflects the current situation in the cultivation world.
No matter where they are, the number of Qi cultivators is the largest.
When Chen Ping entered the city, it was already late, and it was pitch black.
But cultivators were not limited by day and night, and the pedestrians on the road were still densely packed, and no one noticed Chen Ping's arrival.
Walking on the street, Chen Ping's divine sense was carefully and slowly released, so as not to be discovered by the hidden Yuan Dan period monks.
Sure enough, there were a large number of monks in the city.
However, most of them were low-level cultivators, and the highest cultivation was a mid-foundation building monk who was meditating in a mansion at Beijiekou.
With Chen Ping's strong divine sense, he swept over, and this person did not notice it in the slightest.
The outer city of Xikou is the residence of mortals and low-ranking monks.
In order to avoid Zhou Qianhong, who was sitting in the inner city, Chen Ping planned to find a place to live nearby for a few months.
After searching for half an hour, his gaze finally stopped after glancing at the sign of an inn.
The big stone in front of the door is several zhang high, and there are two ancient silver powder characters written on it, which does not seem to have anything special.
And in the entire cultivation world, there are probably more than tens of thousands of inns with such a common name as "Dragon Gate".
Staring at the signboard, Chen Ping's divine sense wrapped the upper and lower floors of the inn and turned slightly, and his face showed a look of satisfaction.
The business of the Dragon Gate Inn seems to be quite bad, with more than 100 private rooms and only a dozen guests.
Tranquility and tranquility are his first choice for staying.
With a flick of his figure, Chen Ping entered the hall.
The shopkeeper of the Dragon Gate Inn is a fat old man in his fifties, who has cultivated the ninth layer of qi.
Chen Ping slightly revealed his cultivation in the later stage of foundation building, so he naturally made the innkeeper respectful, and immediately found a single room full of spiritual energy, for fear of annoying this senior.
"No wonder there are not many guests, thirty spirit stones a day, this Longmen Inn is really a black shop specializing in one-time business."
Looking around at the simple layout of the box, Chen Ping couldn't help muttering.
It is true that people have nothing to say about the price clearly, but it is also necessary to mark a price that is close to the reality.
If it weren't for the fear of the Zhou family in the city, he was going to take out a first-order rabbit tail grass on the spot just now, and forced the owner of the Dragon Gate Inn to buy it for 10,000 spirit stones.
