Chapter 507: Conflict
"Mr. Hui, I'm really not optimistic about opening a business." Qu Zhong bowed slightly and replied.
"Tell me about it." Qin Ziling nodded and said.
Qu Zhong pondered for a moment before answering.
"First, the initial investment in cultivating alchemy immortal masters and refining immortal masters is too large, and without a strong foundation, they can't afford it at all; Second, the situation in the blessed land of Pingyu Mountain and the nearby millions of miles of sea area, Mr. has also seen that the weak eat the strong, take the strong, kill people and sell goods, from time to time, and there are competition and conflicts between peers, so to open a business, you must have a strong force to escort it.
In the blessed land of Pingyu Mountain and the nearby millions of miles of sea area, the only truly famous business name on land is Baibaoxuan in the south of Xiandao. Because Nanli Immortal Island is the upper three islands, he has a strong foundation and strength, and Nanli Ancestor is a fire crow, he and his disciples are good at controlling fire, and they have natural advantages in alchemy and refining.
Other firms are diverse, good and bad, and vary in size. But when a business reaches a certain scale and fame, there are all true immortal powerhouses behind it. Like Murong Chu, the owner of Enlightened Immortal Island, he is a late-stage immortal, and there are more than a dozen early-stage immortal protectors under his account, and his strength is ranked above average among the thirty-six immortal islands.
However, the Tongling Pavilion opened by the Enlightened Immortal Island still has to find the Floating Ancestor as a backer, and it needs to hand over some fixed income shares to the Floating Ancestor every year, otherwise the Spiritual Pavilion will not be able to become bigger and stronger. There are also some backers behind large-scale businesses and even the generals of the four towns. In fact, they just have a name, but they sit back and enjoy the success, which is more worry-free and relaxed than opening a business in person.
If Mr. is just ready to make a small fight, it doesn't hurt, but looking at Mr. Intentions, it seems that he wants to put the source of income for the development of sect forces in the future mainly on the business operation, then it must be done to a certain scale of the business, so it is very complicated, not only is there a lot of investment in the early stage, but strong force is needed to ensure safety in the operation, and a large part of the income has to be handed over to the true immortals, so Mr. still has to think twice. ”
"I didn't expect that the business had a certain scale, and I had to find a true immortal to be named!" Qin Ziling showed a hint of surprise on his face, and his eyes subconsciously looked towards the Yun Lan sisters and brothers.
Back then, as an inner disciple of the Hantie Sect, he had a name in the rouge gouache shop they opened, and charged some registration fees, which was actually the same thing as what Qu Zhong was talking about now.
However, he only charges a fixed registration fee every month, which is only a small amount of revenue for the rouge gouache shop. But here, according to Qu Zhong, the share to be handed over is very large, so it is no wonder that Qu Zhong is not very optimistic.
Because in Qu Zhong's opinion, Qin Ziling has the combat power to rival the late stage of the Immortal Infant Earth Immortal, but when he first arrived, he even temporarily borrowed Qingyun Immortal Island, and compared with the relatively high-ranking forces such as Enlightened Immortal Island, the foundation is still very different.
Not to mention the need for a group of strong men to escort them, find true immortals and so on!
"Yes! They basically don't do things, but once we get bigger, we have to give them a certain share of the income, and in the end, it's the hard work that others eat meat and we drink soup, so why bother? It's better to cultivate the medicine mountain, plant the spirit grass immortal medicine, and mine the veins, at least you can maintain your daily practice, and you can also come at ease. If you are unwilling to be dull and want to quickly improve your cultivation, you can also take some risks to go out and hit the fairy fate, and maybe you can also hit the luck. Qu Zhong said.
"Your concerns are very reasonable, but the problem is not big, the business is a long-term solution, and it needs to be established as soon as possible." Qin Ziling thought for a while and said.
Qu Zhong's face changed several times when he heard this, his lips moved, and he wanted to open his mouth to persuade a word or two, but Qin Ziling had already waved his hand and said, "Qu Zhong, I know it in my heart." ”
Qu Zhong didn't dare to persuade anymore when he heard this, but he was still a little worried and not optimistic in his heart.
Qu Zhong didn't know that the murder of Tu Fang and Murong Min, which caused a sensation a while ago and shocked the Quartet, was the murderer behind the scenes was Mr. Qin in front of him.
Earlier, Tu Fang's reinforcements were also intercepted and killed by Qin Ziling's men halfway.
With these two half-way killings alone, Qin Ziling made a lot of money and accumulated a lot of money.
Not to mention that a while ago, Qin Ziling also snatched a Blood Qilin Demon in the hands of the four True Immortals halfway.
Qu Zhong didn't know that in the past year or two, especially in the last half year, the strength of the disciples of the Wuji Sect had changed a lot, and now there were seven earth immortals in the middle stage of the Immortal Infant realm alone.
Qu Zhong didn't know that now Qin Ziling's own combat power was comparable to that of a second-grade true immortal, and Xiao Jing's combat power was already comparable to that of a first-grade true immortal.
Qin Ziling didn't explain much, and seeing that Qu Zhong no longer opened his mouth to persuade him, he said: "The matter of the business name, I am not in a hurry to become bigger and stronger at the beginning, you can start with Qingyun Immortal Island and the nine islands attached to Qingyun Immortal Island." ”
"That's right, that's right." Qu Zhong couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he heard this.
Qingyun Immortal Island and Blood Cloud Island are still in bond, once the business is opened to other islands, in Qu Zhong's opinion, security is a big problem, but if it is only within the sphere of influence of Qingyun Immortal Island, then there is nothing to worry about, as for the future, it will naturally be considered later.
As they spoke, the group re-embarked on the Piercing Immortal Shuttle, and broke through the air under the awe-inspiring gaze of the indigenous people of this island.
Along the way, the group visited a few more islands.
Gradually, Qin Ziling and the others looked at a huge island from afar.
In fact, for Qin Ziling, it is more accurate to say that it is an island, rather than a mainland.
Facing the direction of Qin Ziling and the others, there was an incomparably magnificent giant city standing along the coast.
Around this great city, and beyond, there are many cities.
"Sir, that's the blessed land of Pingyu Mountain. The city we can see now is called Pingyu West City, and the person who sits in this city is Gou Huan, the general of Zhenxi. The eight immortal islands in the western waters of the blessed land of Pingyu Mountain are all under his jurisdiction, including floating immortal islands.
If there are no special circumstances, every five years we only need to go to the West General's Mansion in the west town of Pingyu to pay tribute, and we do not need to go to the royal city to pay tribute directly to the king. The king is in retreat or traveling all over the world, and basically does not pay attention to these things. Qu Zhongyao pointed to the huge island and explained.
As Qu Zhong was speaking, a giant bird-shaped flying immortal weapon flew from the sky.
There was a beautiful man standing on the bird-like immortal weapon, with a trace of powerful aura in his elegant demeanor, and he was an earth immortal in the late stage of the immortal infant, who was the fourth elder of the floating immortal island, Duanmu Song.
More than two years ago, Tu Fang brought people to attack Qingyun Immortal Island, and then he led people to spy with a treasure mirror thousands of miles away, wanting to wait for an opportunity, but Qin Ziling forced Tu Fang to compensate a large amount of resources before letting them leave, causing Duanmusong and others to calculate and wait for nothing.
There are still more than a dozen people standing behind Duanmu Song, five earth immortals, five half-immortals in the late stage of Jindan, and one of the five earth immortals is in the middle stage of immortal infants.
Obviously, Duanmusong went to the Zhenxi General's Mansion to pay tribute on behalf of the Floating Ancestor this time.
The Floating Ancestor is a first-grade true immortal, and Zhenxi General Gou Huan is also a first-grade true immortal, so he is proud of his identity, so it is naturally impossible for him to go to pay tribute in person.
"Fourth Elder, isn't that Qu Zhong from Qingyun Immortal Island, and that helper who didn't know where to invite?" In the middle of the fairy infant, the earth immortal with a pair of mourning eyebrows said.
"Qu Zhong is nothing, but that kid has two hits, and even Tu Fang dares to extort a sum of money." Duanmu Song saw that he was indeed from Qingyun Immortal Island, his mind moved, and he said, "You stop them, I want to see what is special about him." ”
"Yes, Fourth Elder." The mourning immortal replied, and then shouted at Qin Ziling and the others: "The one in front is a fellow Daoist of Qingyun Immortal Island, please stay, the four elders of my family are invited." ”
"It's Duanmu Song, the fourth disciple of the Floating Ancestor." Qu Zhong hurriedly explained to Qin Ziling in a low voice.
Qin Ziling nodded slightly, and had already turned through the Heavenly Immortal Shuttle to face the huge bird-like immortal weapon.
"Qingyun Immortal Island Island Owner Company Changfeng has seen Elder Duanmu!" Piercing the Heavenly Immortal Shuttle stopped outside Lixu, and the company commander, as the owner of the island, arched his hand.
In just over two years, Lian Changfeng, who is only eleven years old, is already a great grandmaster, which can be regarded as very powerful.
However, Duanmu Song, as the fourth elder of the Floating Immortal Island and the personal disciple of the True Immortal, naturally did not put a child who didn't have any hair in his eyes, just waved his hand casually, and then his gaze fell on Qin Ziling, and said lightly: "What's your name?" has some ability, more than two years ago, he dared to sit on the ground and raise the price, forcing Tu Fang to leave a fortune before he was able to escape. ”
Qin Ziling's only real appearance in front of the public was the battle more than two years ago, and since then, he has lived in seclusion, so the outside world knows extremely little about him, and he has not even passed on his name.
"Qin Ziling didn't dare to be Elder Duanmu." Qin Ziling replied.
"Qin Ziling, well, Elder Ben remembered." Duanmu Song nodded, his eyes inadvertently swept over Yun Lan behind him, and he couldn't help but be in a trance, and then revealed a scorching color.
"The woman behind you looks good, has a unique temperament, and looks a little like an old friend of Elder Ben's before." Duanmu Song quickly turned his gaze to Qin Ziling and said.
"Thank you Elder Duanmu for the compliment, I wonder if Elder Duanmu has anything else? If not, we'll see you in the Zhenxi General's Mansion. Qin Ziling said lightly, as if he didn't understand the meaning of Duanmu Song's words at all.
"It's nothing else, it's just that my old friend has been dead for many years, and I miss it so much. I don't know if Qin Ziling, can you endure the pain and give me the maid behind you? Even if you have a good relationship with Elder Ben, in the future, the people from Blood Cloud Island will come to the door again, and Elder Ben will come forward to help you say a few fair words for the sake of this good fate. Duanmusong said unhurriedly.
"Presumptuous!"
"Bold!"
As soon as Duanmu Song's words came out, Yun Lan's younger brother Yun Tai first showed anger and blurted out angrily, followed by Feng Ziluo, who had a strong personality and couldn't tolerate a little sand in his eyes.
"Boom!" A bang.
When the two of them reprimanded angrily, Yun Tai had already pulled out a tiger-headed sword, while Feng Ziluo sacrificed a golden flying sword, levitating in front of him, and swallowed a cold sword at Duanmu Song.
Seeing this, Qu Zhong's face turned pale for a moment, and a look of panic flashed in his eyes.
Floating Immortal Island and Blood Cloud Immortal Island are different again.
Floating Immortal Island is the overlord of the sea area where Qingyun Immortal Island is located, and from a certain point of view, Qingyun Immortal Island can also be regarded as the sphere of influence of Floating Immortal Island.
It's just that there are still the rules of the Fire Ape Country above, and the Floating Immortal Island can't directly annex Qingyun Immortal Island.
But Rao is like this, when Blood Cloud Immortal Island comes to attack Qingyun Immortal Island, it must first consider the reaction of the Floating Immortal Island.
Because of this, the last time Tu Fang came to attack, the people of the Floating Immortal Island would come forward, and later the Tu Fang was defeated and retreated, and the Great Elder of the Blood Cloud Immortal Island did not make a move, and a large part of it was also because of the Floating Immortal Island.
Now, Yuntai and Feng Ziluo actually scolded Duanmusong in person, and they also drew their swords at each other, so it was worth it!
However, before Qu Zhong could speak, Qin Ziling had already raised his hand to stop him.
Qu Zhong still had great respect for Qin Ziling, and when he saw him raise his hand, he immediately swallowed back the words that came to his mouth, but his heart was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot.
A Blood Cloud Immortal Island has already forced Qingyun Immortal Island to breathe, if you add the Floating Immortal Island, then Qingyun Immortal Island has no way to go at all.
"Haha, interesting, interesting!" Seeing this, Duanmu Song not only didn't seem angry, but laughed out loud, looking up and down at Qin Ziling with a pair of rather delicate looking eyes.
"I don't think it's interesting at all." Qin Ziling said lightly, and then with a wave of his hand, he turned around and walked through the Heavenly Immortal Shuttle.
He didn't want to have a big conflict with the Floating Immortal Island for the time being.
"Stop!" At this time, Duanmusong's face sank slightly, and he shouted coldly.
As soon as Duanmusong's voice was heard, there was a dazzling light that pierced the sky and landed in front of the Heavenly Immortal Suo, blocking its way.
"Did Elder Ben say let you go?" Duanmusong asked slowly.
Qin Ziling looked in the direction of the blessed land of Pingyu Mountain, and the murderous intent in his eyes converged.
This is not a good place to kill!
Qin Ziling secretly shook his head in his heart, then turned his head again, looked at Duanmu Song with his eyes, and said, "We are going to pay tribute to the king, could it be that Elder Duanmu wants to rob the king's tribute?" ”
"Boy Qin, you don't have to take this big hat to put it on Elder Ben's head. In a word, if you leave the woman around you, as well as the two people who drew their swords just now, Elder Ben will let you go. Otherwise, I'm afraid you can only let you, the owner of the island, who has not grown all the hair, go to pay tribute alone. Duanmusong said.
"How can you say that the Floating Immortal Island is also a decent family, right? Duanmu Song, if you do this, aren't you afraid that others will compare your Floating Immortal Island with Blood Cloud Island? Qin Ziling asked calmly.
"If it were the people of Blood Cloud Island, do you think they would talk so much nonsense to you? Besides, have you forgotten who is in charge of this blessed land of Pingyu Mountain? King Zhu Yan, the bloodline descendant of Zhu Yan, do you think the king will tell us anything about benevolence and righteousness? His rule is only iron-blooded, only strength, and only Shunchang is rebellious!
Elder Ben just wants a woman by your side, and he also promised a good fate, which is already considered to be benevolent and righteous, you still dare to draw a knife against Elder Ben, do you really think that Elder Ben is a good person? Duanmu Song sneered.
"It's the first time I've seen someone say that robbing a people's girl is so noble and benevolent! According to what you say, I have to be grateful to Dade for the person you want me! Qin Ziling's calm expression revealed a touch of coldness.
"It seems that Tu Fang was forced to take Qingyun Immortal Island back then, which makes you a little unaware of the thickness of the sky! Well, in that case, Elder Ben has nothing to say. Duanmusong smiled coldly disdainfully, and waved his hand lightly.
Duanmu Song waved his hand, and the mourning eyebrows and earth immortals were the first to strike.
A shimmering, rope-like immortal weapon flew out of him.
"Whew!" The ground slashed, shuttling through the void, winding towards the person on the Immortal Shuttle.
As soon as this rope-like immortal weapon was released, there was an invisible and powerful binding force that was entwined towards everyone from all directions, not to mention those Jindan monks, even the immortal power of the earth immortals was bound and entangled by the invisible force, and it suddenly did not work smoothly.
"That's a good magic weapon!" Qin Ziling's eyes lit up slightly.
He now has no shortage of immortal weapons of the weapon type, but there are a few immortal weapons such as "tying immortal ropes".
"Bold!" Seeing this, Zheng Xinghan snorted coldly, stepped out of the Heavenly Immortal Shuttle, and stood in the air.
The right hand raised his claw and grabbed directly at the glittering rope immortal weapon.
Zheng Xinghan is now a human immortal in the Law Body Realm, and one foot has entered the middle stage of the Law Body Realm, and his strength is not inferior to the middle stage of the Immortal Infant Realm.
The Dharma Body realm is immortal, and the physical body is not only a magic weapon, but it can be ever-changing when cultivated to the extreme.
Zheng Xinghan's Dharma Body is mainly in the arms, and the most thorough refining is the palms, unlike Qin Ziling's whole body.
Therefore, Zheng Xinghan's most powerful thing is his palms.
The right hand clawed and tore through the void, refracting the cold metallic light in the sunlight, as if the entire right hand was made of metal.
"Human Immortals, Dharma Body Realm!" Seeing this, the face of the Hanging Mourning Immortal changed slightly, and the glittering rope immediately "boomed", jumping up in the air like a spiritual snake, trying to dodge Zheng Xinghan's iron claws, and wrapping around his neck and body.
However, the magic weapon of the immortal family needs to be controlled by immortal power, and it is something outside the body, and Zheng Xinghan's "iron claw" is his palm.
In the close range, in terms of control, such as the rapid change of moves, where can the rope immortal weapon of the Hanging Immortal compare to Zheng Xinghan's iron claws.
Zheng Xinghan's iron claws were like the nimble hands of a snake catcher, and layers of claw shadows appeared in the air, and with a snort, he suddenly grabbed the rope immortal weapon that hung the eyebrows.
As soon as this rope immortal weapon was grasped, the glow soared, and the entire rope kept twisting, even wrapping around Zheng Xinghan's arm like a python, twisting it vigorously, trying to crush it.
Zheng Xinghan sneered, his arms continued to grow, his skin was covered with a layer of steel-like scale armor, and the muscles were like steel bars entwined together, and the iron claws were still holding the rope immortal weapon, and the rolling blood qi rushed into the rope immortal weapon along the iron claw, scattering the Xiaguang immortal power.
Looking from afar, in addition to a huge python wrapped around an arm like an iron pillar, I also saw a ball of blood and light fighting in the air, rolling and scattering, stirring up the qi of heaven and earth, and the wind howling around.
