In the west of Liang Kingdom, there is an important town for cultivating immortals, called "Bauhinia Immortal City".

This immortal city is close to the border of the Liang State and has trade contacts with the Jing Kingdom to the west.

Especially during the war, the Shang Alliance of Jing State transported a large number of war preparation materials and raw materials to the Liang State Immortal Cultivation Realm.

The current war, led by the camp of Jinyangzong, launched a self-defense counterattack against the Liang State, and the actual strategic intention was to "move north".

Chen Guo and Yan Guo, under some kind of agreement, watched coldly and did not interfere.

Half a month later on this day.

In the north of Bauhinia Immortal City, a mountain range hundreds of miles away.

A middle-aged man with a medium stature, a round face and a yellow beard, stepped on a flying boat and broke through the air.

"Near the meeting point, there are no patrolling sect monks? The energy of the Jiuchen Chamber of Commerce is not small. ”

The round-faced Zhuji is middle-aged, squinting his eyes and looking around.

In the round-faced foundation in front of him, it was Lu Changan's new identity disguised through the Hundred Illusion Mask.

He flipped over and took out a white jade plaque, and his divine sense melted into it.

There was an induction from the jade plaque, pointing to a steep mountain peak with dense forests hundreds of zhang away.

Lu Changan groaned slightly, and did not enter rashly.

Sou!

There was a sound of breaking the air from the back, and a purple-faced strong man with a heavy aura flew in, one arm bandaged.

"Your Excellency is also here to meet?"

The purple-faced strong man glanced at Lu Chang'an, and also took out a white jade plate.

"Hmm."

Lu Chang'an bowed his head, a little behind, and followed the purple-faced strong man to the steep mountain.

Kiss!

The purple-faced strong man held the jade plaque in his hand, broke through an invisible layer of concealment illusion array, and entered the dense forest on the top of the mountain.

The so-called dense forest is actually a phantom array, there are few trees on the mountain, and it is bare.

In the center, there were several large rocks, among which were scattered thirty or forty monks.

There are both men and women, young and old, mainly in the foundation building period.

There are also some Qi refining period cultivators, all of whom are young, and they follow their elders.

"Is the Receiving Monk of the Jiuchen Chamber of Commerce available?"

The purple-faced strong man looked at the center of the mountain top and hugged his fists.

However, no one from the monk at the top of the mountain responded, and for a moment of silence, it was actually cold.

"Hehe......"

The monks gathered in the corner laughed lowly, as if to mock it.

The purple-faced strong man's face was gloomy, and he suppressed the evil qi on his body.

He smiled and accosted Lu Changan, who came in together.

"What do you call a fellow Daoist?"

"In Xia Wu Fan, a nameless casual cultivator."

Lu Changan said casually.

The purple-faced strong man claimed to be surnamed Fang, but did not say the origin of his identity.

Lu Chang'an's visual inspection: This person's injured body has pure mana, which is better than ordinary foundation building and casual cultivation, and the evil qi on his body is very heavy...... It's a deserter from the front line.

Every time there is a war for cultivating immortals, there are not a few such monks, and they are often wanted by the sect. Once caught, the end is miserable.

The two chatted casually, occasionally tentatively.

"As a meeting point, the monks of the Jiuchen Chamber of Commerce have not appeared, what does Wu Daoyou think about this?"

"The monks of the Jiuchen Chamber of Commerce may not have arrived at the scene at all, so they just need to come with the giant boat spirit ship and pick us up. In this way, even if something unexpected happens, they don't have to take the risk and they don't leave anything behind. ”

Lu Changan's opinion has no bright spots.

The purple-faced strong man's eyes flickered, and he lowered his voice: "The monks of the Jiuchen Chamber of Commerce may be mixed in the crowd and observe every monk present......

"Perhaps."

Lu Changan remained silent.

While the two were talking, he felt a faint divine consciousness linger on himself and the purple-faced strong man.

That divine sense is a few points stronger than the average fake Dan real person, and it should be a monk who is good at probing.

The purple-faced strong man's words attracted the attention of the fake Dan-level divine sense, and he lingered on him for a breath or two.

Lu Changan's disguised identity, in the middle stage of foundation building, the mana aura is in line with the identity of loose cultivation, not eye-catching, and not weak.

……

Two hours later.

At sunset, there were fifty or sixty monks gathered at the top of the mountain, more than half of whom were in the foundation building period.

The fake Dan Zhenren who was secretly probing was found by Lu Changan because of his frequent use of divine sense.

It was a pleasant-looking old man with a sixtieth birthday, wearing a navy blue robe, and most of the time he closed his eyes to recuperate.

Lu Changan suspected that this person was a monk of the Jiuchen Chamber of Commerce.

See, night is approaching.

Some of the monks were restless and restless.

After all, most of the monks present went to Jingguo to take refuge or flee, lacking a sense of security.

"It's here!"

A low cry rang out.

Call!

The clouds overhead were cleared, and the air currents were raging.

A blue spirit ship fifty or sixty zhang long, lingering in the aura of the formation, landed quickly from a high altitude.

"Fellow Daoists, with the tokens in your hands, line up to enter the spirit ship in turn."

Inside the spirit ship, a deep man's voice came, accompanied by the spiritual pressure of the False Dan level.

"Those who disturb the order will be disqualified from boarding."

Before the words fell, the spirit ship fell to a height of ten zhang at the top of the mountain and lowered two inclined ladders.

One of the inclined staircase entrances was guarded by four mid-to-late stage guards of the foundation who were fierce and wearing armor, checking the tokens of the climbers, and it seemed that they were the dart guards escorting the spirit ship.

Another ramp staircase is guarded by two beautiful foundation building nuns.

This passage is not open to ordinary monks.

"Prince Wang, the first-class guest room on the third floor of the Spirit Ship has been prepared for you in advance."

In front of everyone's eyes, a golden-robed young man with oily hair and pink face, under the support of hunchbacked old servants and maids on the left and right, boarded the ladder from this special passage to the boat.

This scene attracted the attention of all the cultivators present.

The token in the hand of the golden-robed young man is not a white jade plate, but a purple token!

"I don't know which of the big names in the upper echelons of the Liang Kingdom is the descendant?"

"For the Jiuchen Chamber of Commerce to be treated like this, at least it must be the direct descendant of the True Dan Monk."

The cultivators present speculated in their hearts, and they were angry, but they didn't dare to show it.

Lu Chang'an took a look at it, and the "prince of the king" should be able to pass with a secret method, only cultivating in the early stage of foundation building, but he was only about thirty years old.

The beautiful girl who followed was a monk in the middle of the foundation building.

The hunchbacked old servant couldn't see the reality.

Lu Changan didn't dare to use his divine sense to probe easily.

Now, the War of Cultivating Immortals is swept in the territory of the Liang State.

It is also to take refuge in neighboring countries, and the priority of the big people is higher, and the treatment they enjoy is far beyond that of ordinary monks.

In addition to the golden-robed young man's prince, at the entrance of the second inclined staircase, several groups of people followed.

As little as one person, as many as two or three people.

Most of these people's tokens are cyan tokens, and they all have exclusive rooms after boarding the ship.

It is not difficult to imagine that these people were either rich or noble, had great backgrounds, or possessed abilities and skills beyond those of ordinary monks.

One of the white-eyed old men in the late stage of foundation building, Lu Changan was somewhat familiar, he had seen it at the auction in Huanglong Immortal City, and he seemed to be a quasi-third-order refiner.

Such a person, even if he goes to a neighboring country, he will be treated as a guest by the Jiuchen Chamber of Commerce.

……

Lu Changan went to Jing Kingdom here, bent on seeking to tie the pill, and didn't want other monks to know his whereabouts, so he didn't ask the Zhou family for help.

The secrets of the ancient ruins and the news of the killing of the monks of the Jinyang Sect are all uncontrollable potential hidden dangers.

It may be remembered someday.

Maybe it's okay for the rest of your life, but it's over.

Killing the Jinyang Sect monk, Mu Jiu'an and the others are likely to conceal it, after all, it is a shameful scandal, and it is a high risk to act in the territory of the enemy.

As for the ancient ruins, there are more variables.

Before Lu Changan left, he handed over Liang Shaotian's female disciple to Shi Fairy for disposal.

If the master fairy kills Miss Wei, the Demon Sect senses the news of death and finds this ruin in the Black Mist Mountain Range, it will take a while.

If you let go of Wei Girl, it will take time to return to the Demon Sect, and there will be no specific memories in the ruins. This kind of ancient cave mansion and ruins will appear every once in a while in the immortal cultivation world, and it is difficult to say how much attention the leader of the Demon Sect attaches to it.

In addition, the possibility of leaking the news of the two fake Dan real people who had died at that time is very low, but it cannot be absolutely ruled out.

On the way back from the ruins, Lu Changan gave two suggestions to Shi Fairy.

First, if you let Miss Wei go, make her swear a demonic oath.

Second, if you have the ability, destroy the formation in the center of the ruins afterwards, and accelerate the collapse of the treasure vault space.

Shi Xianzi said that at least he had to become a third-order array mage, and only in the case of the same lineage could he have the possibility of trying, and he was not completely sure.

What kind of choice the master fairy will make, Lu Changan is not sure.

His personal formation attainments are limited, and he doesn't have the ability to destroy the ancient formation in one fell swoop, and he has to worry about the backlash of the formation prohibition.

……

"Recommended by the Crescent Chamber of Commerce? What do you call you? Where did Liang come from? ”

After waiting for a long time, it was Lu Chang'an's turn to board the ship.

A heavily armored man in the late stage of foundation building, checking the jade plate, asked.

After presenting the jade token, there will be a simple inquiry and identity registration.

Out of secrecy, this recommended token did not record Lu Changan's identity and name.

For monks who board the ship, it is considered very common.

Most of the monks who took refuge in Jing Kingdom did not want to reveal their identities, or they could not see the light, and few of them used their real names.

"In Xia Wu Fan, from Huanglong Immortal City."

It's just a formality, recording basic information such as the cultivation and name of the person who boarded the ship, even if it is false information.

After registering, a tall and thin foundation building monk of the Chamber of Commerce took five foundation building monks, including Lu Chang'an, to the ship's accommodation.

"A few fellow Daoists, due to the scarcity of guest rooms on the spirit ship, I can only grieve you to go to the cargo hold below."

The tall and thin monk of the Chamber of Commerce said apologetically.

"Cargo hold?"

The purple-faced strong man who walked with Lu Changan looked embarrassed.

In order to buy a transnational "ferry ticket", most of the monks present paid a lot of favors and a lot of spirit stones.

"We, the Jiuchen Chamber of Commerce, carry about 100 monks from all ethnic groups in the Business Alliance on every cross-border trip. With the guests of your country, the rooms are naturally not enough. ”

The tall and thin monk of the Chamber of Commerce said with a smile.

This person is only a monk in the middle stage of foundation building, and in the face of Lu Chang'an's five people, he seems calm and relaxed.

The spirit ship of the Jiuchen Chamber of Commerce has more than one fake Dan real person in charge. There is also a powerful dart guard regiment, as well as hundreds of monks from the merchant alliance camp.

The monks of the Liang Kingdom who entered this place disturbed the order and were expelled at every turn.

If you dare to do it, the consequences will be unimaginable.

"This spirit ship is fifty or sixty feet long, and there are three layers on the deck. How can an ordinary single room not be enough? ”

Lu Changan said secretly.

Not much.

Lu Changan's group of five people came to the gloomy cargo hold below deck.

At this time, twenty or thirty monks were already crowded into the cargo hold, and the breaths of different monks were mixed together.

Other monks were brought in.

Lu Changan frowned slightly, huddled with so many monks in the public cabin, safety, privacy, and comfort were all problems.

"A few fellow Daoists, if you are not satisfied with this place, there are still a small number of ordinary rooms on it. The guest rooms on the spirit ship, even if you pass through the Peerless Land on the way, you can enjoy the cultivation environment of the second-order spirit vein. ”

The tall and thin monk of the Chamber of Commerce lowered his voice.

Lu Changan and the purple-faced strong man glanced at each other, the latter had an angry look on his face, took a deep breath, and did not have a seizure after all.

……

A quarter of an hour later.

The spirit ship flew high into the air, and a cross-border journey began.

In the ordinary guest room on the first floor of the spirit ship.

Lu Changan made a pot of hot tea, sat in front of the desk, and looked out the window at the endless sea of clouds.

At the cost of three thousand spirit stones, Lu Changan left the poor environment of the ship's bottom cargo hold and lived in a single room of more than ten square meters.

Nearly half of the monks of Liang Guo were still crowded into the gloomy cargo hold below.

Three thousand spirit stones is not a small number for the foundation building period.

Originally, to buy a ferry ticket, it cost favors and four or five thousand spirit stones.

Most of the monks in the middle and middle stages of the foundation building foundation have a few thousand spirit stones "cash flow" that can be used.

All the way to the meeting point, you still need to deal with the law enforcement monks on the road, and if you are unlucky, you will even have to sell the magic weapons on your body.

Ordinary foundation building monks, before and after boarding the ship, the spirit stones on their bodies were basically squeezed dry

Some of them are foundation building monks, and they also have juniors in the Qi refining period. If you upgrade to a guest room, you will have to spend double the spirit stones.

This is because only one monk is allowed in an ordinary room.

The "prince" lived in a first-class room, which belonged to the luxury suite.

"The same journey, some people are going to take refuge, and some people are equivalent to cross-country vacations."

Lu Changan took a sip of hot tea, the fragrance was fragrant, and a warmth surged in his abdomen.

"Huh? How did the direction of the spirit ship fly to the north? ”

Half a day later, Lu Changan came to the deck of the spirit ship and stared at the landscape outside the light of the formation.

He sensed a special aura in the direction of the Black Mist Mountains.

According to the normal route, the spirit ship will go to Jingguo, all the way to the west.

To the north, there are the Black Mist Mountains.

In fact, there is a more dangerous way to get from Liang to Jing.

That is to go deep into the Black Fog Mountains, go around in a big circle, and then go south back to Jing Kingdom.

It's just that this path, to enter the deeper part of the Black Mist Mountain Range, is far away, and you may encounter a big demon.

And on the periphery of the mountain range, they also have to face the patrol of the sect monks, the threat of robbery, and the unpredictable demon monks.

……

When Lu Changan became suspicious.

The huge spirit ship, close to the periphery of the Black Mist Mountain Range, hovered slowly in front of a large river.

On the hillside of the riverbank, a second-order spirit boat carrying a man and a woman flew to the spirit ship of the Jiuchen Chamber of Commerce.

"Did a monk board the ship halfway?"

On the spirit ship, whether it was the monks of the Liang Kingdom or the monks of the Jing State Business Alliance, they showed a look of surprise.

For the monks of the Jing Kingdom Business Alliance, generally only the monks gathered at the designated place and waited for the spirit ship together.

It is rare to let the spirit ship change direction halfway and deliberately pick up people.

The monks of the two countries looked at the two monks on the spirit boat with suspicious eyes.

The driver of the spirit boat is a man in black clothes in the late stage of foundation building.

In the middle of the spirit boat, a long-haired woman wearing a veil sat cross-legged.

The veil of the long-haired nun cut off the breath on her body and the probing of her divine sense.

The two people who boarded the ship halfway were obviously not small, and the monks on the ship did not dare to use their divine senses to probe easily.

"Two, please go to the guest room on the third floor."

Several management monks of the Jiuchen Chamber of Commerce politely received the two of them on board.

Out of caution, Lu Changan did not use his divine sense to investigate rashly.

However, he just visualized the long-haired nun's posture, and suddenly felt familiar.

"This woman, how could she board the spirit ship of the Jiuchen Chamber of Commerce?"
