"Childe, Qingyang's ink grouper is so delicious! It's fresh and tender, not to mention Changning's expensive, and it tastes a little fishy. ”

"The black grouper is a specialty of Qingyang, caught from the Weihe River, where is it comparable to other artificial breeding."

"Childe, let's buy more later, put it in a bag and keep it for later...... It's here! ”

Shen Wuli and the maid Qingluan walked into Yangquanfang City's iconic restaurant - Yangquan Restaurant.

It's dinner time, and the first floor is full.

The two were led to the second floor by Xiao Er, and after a glance, Qingluan pulled down Shen Wuli's arm and looked towards the window, "Childe ......"

Shen Wuli also saw that in addition to Zhong Yan and the others, there were also two monks wearing the costumes of the disciples of the Fire Cloud Sect.

Sitting diagonally diagonally, ordering wine and food, Qingluan condensed a soundproof cover and said, "Miss, what a coincidence!" Yangquanfang City is not small, it runs into two times a day, do you say that it is fate? ”

Shen Wuli was a little speechless, and said with an angry smile: "I see that you are just fascinated by his appearance, and you don't want to have something at a young age!" ”

Qingluan: "No, it's just pleasing to the eye, not annoying." ”

Shen Wuli: "This is the most famous restaurant in Fang City, exclusively for monks, foreign monks like us will come here to taste special food, and Zhong Yan is a master of Qingyang Hucong, who is richer than ordinary casual cultivators, and the people who dine together are the inner disciples of the Huoyun Sect, it is normal to choose here, and it is not a small probability event to encounter." ”

"Uh-oh."

Qingluan nodded her head and said, "I'm not too young, Xiaofeng married with Miss Fourth at the age of fourteen, and I am two years older than her." ”

After a pause, she said with a serious look: "Miss, there are only four Jindan seniors in the entire Yan Kingdom, and the foundation is only two hundred years old, and sooner or later they will get married, do you say that Zhong Yan or Ye Yang of the Ye family is more suitable?"

Zhong Yan is a loose cultivator, his cultivation is not as good as you, marrying him is equivalent to marrying him, he has to listen to you, that Ye Yang looked at it and hated it, after the marriage, for the sake of the Shen family, you have to look at his face from time to time. ”

"It's as simple as you think."

Shen Wuli shook her head and smiled, but she couldn't help but think of the communication with her grandfather yesterday-

The Ye family came to the door to propose, a foundation building family ranked among the top five in the Yan Kingdom, with a foundation building Great Perfection Ancestor and several foundation building later stages.

……

The other side.

The four of them touched a glass.

Han Jiuping said: "Now the Huoyun Sect is very chaotic, as soon as you go out of the mountain gate, there will be conflicts and fights at every turn. ”

"Many people can't leave if they want to, and although the inner disciples left the sect in the past, although the review was strict, if they were not key disciples with outstanding qualifications, they would generally be released."

"I know a senior brother who only entered the seventh layer of qi refining and entered the inner gate when he was in his sixties, and he submitted an application at the end of last year to go down the mountain to retire, but he has not been approved yet, and even the outer disciples are not allowed to leave the sect at will."

Zhang Dongzhuo followed: "Not only the sect, but I feel that the entire Yan Kingdom cultivation world is not as stable as before, and there were fights in Fang City a few days ago, and there were deaths. ”

"Oh?"

Zhong Yan swept over the faces of the two of them, revealing an inquiring look.

Han Jiuping nodded and said: "The three disciples of the Five Elements Sect took a fancy to a herb in a stall on West Street, and there was a conflict between buying it at a low price and forcing it to buy, and they killed two loose cultivators on the street, and the Fang City only gave a warning, but did not punish them severely. ”

Zhong Yan bowed his head, and now it was the people of the Five Elements Sect who were in charge of security in Yangquanfang City, and asked, "Is it Duan An who is shielding?" The Elder of the Guards didn't show up? ”

Han Jiuping shook his head: "Open one eye and close one eye." ”

Zhang Dongzhuo reminded: "The security outside the city is even lower, recently many bandits have been waiting for rabbits, picking and slaughtering fat sheep, and obviously grabbing resources, Senior Brother Zhong needs to be careful when he returns to the city, try not to rush to the night, so as not to be ambushed." ”

Zhong Yan frowned slightly, he heard similar news in Qingyang City, but he didn't expect it to be so chaotic.

Han Jiuping took a sip of wine and sighed: "Hey, I want to leave the sect and be a casual cultivator, I used to think that entering the first major sect of the Yan Kingdom could be safe and stable, who would have thought that today, if the two factions completely tear their faces into a civil war, it will be us low-level disciples who will suffer." ”

“……”

Next.

Zhong Yan joined Pang Baodu and bought two demon beasts in the 'Ten Thousand Beasts Hall', a 'Rock Wolf' with a fifth-layer Qi refining and a 'Flesh-crowned Red Python' with a seventh-layer peak of Qi refining, spending nearly four thousand spirit stones.

Whether the monster is alive or dead, the price is not at the same level, the living is better than the dead, and the price of different monsters is several times higher.

However, when the fighting beast dies, the materials can be sold for some money.

As usual, the guard 'Five Elements Sect Qingyin Male Duan An' was given a spirit stone, and the three of them embarked on the return journey.

It is less than 100 miles away from the market.

I noticed that there were figures flickering in the forest on the side of the road, obviously there were bandits squatting and guarding.

But the two late-stage monks on Zhong Yan's side walked with their swords, and they naturally didn't dare to step forward easily to provoke them.

Before sunset.

The three of them rushed to Qingyuan Village and prepared to settle down in the village.

But I saw a few people queuing up under the archway at the entrance of the village, as if they were being questioned and checked.

Yan Sandao asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?" ”

Zhong Yan and Pang Bao were also suspicious, and they looked at it intently.

Fang Zhi is actually paying the 'accommodation fee'!

Ordinary mortals don't care, if a monk wants to enter the village, he must give two lower-grade spirit stones for the protection fee.

Pang Baodu laughed angrily: "It's really blatant!" There are seven or eight scattered cultivators stationed in this village, could it be them? ”

Yan Sandao frowned and said: "Forget about the silver two, two spirit stones are so expensive, there are still people who are willing to pay them." ”

For today's Zhong Mansion, two spirit stones are just a small amount of sesame mung beans, but for ordinary casual cultivation, it takes some effort to earn two spirit stones.

Just think about Yu Qingyao in the past.

"That's a good business!"

Zhong Yan smiled and said, "No, this is just this village, spend the night outside, maybe someone has already been arranged to wait for you to kill you, how to choose, do you still have to think?" ”

At this time, a long rainbow flew down in the distance and walked towards this side.

Zhong Yan's eyes flashed, and it was the two young monks who were disguised as men he met in Fang City.

It's already the third time!

This can't help but make him suspicious, it's too coincidental, once on the street, once in the restaurant, and at this moment he is still here.

Shen Wuli nodded slightly at Zhong Yan, which was regarded as a greeting after three chance encounters, and then looked at the entrance of the village.

The maid Qingluan blinked and asked aloud: "Brother Dao, aren't you allowed to enter in front?" ”

Zhong Yan looked at the faces of the two and explained the situation in general.

Qingluan's eyes widened and he muttered, "Can you still do this?" There is no charge for entering and exiting the market. ”

Zhong Yan and Pang Bao both exchanged glances and stepped forward.

After the queue is your turn.

Zhong Yan arched his hand, took out the token and said: "In the next Zhong Yan, add as the master of Qingyang City, and I hope you will make it convenient." ”

The leader was a middle-aged monk of the eighth layer of qi refining, who swept over Zhong Yan and the others, looked at the master token again, and said with a smile:

"It turned out to be Master Zhong, look up for a long time! The mage's cultivation is profound, so naturally he doesn't need our protection, please! ”

"Thank you."

Qingluan, who was following behind, said crisply: "We are together!" ”

The leading man didn't suspect it, he saw a few people talking before, and he couldn't see through Shen Wuli's realm, so he thought it was a companion, but he arrived one after another.

Entered the village.

Walk a distance.

Shen Wuli arched his hand towards Zhong Yan: "Thank you, Brother Zhong Dao, I am leaving me, this is my junior sister Qingluan." ”

"Luckily!"

Zhong Yan returned the salute with a smile, didn't talk much, and walked to a small inn.

Pang Baodu transmitted: "At such an age, there is a ninth layer of qi refining, and the identity is not simple. ”

Zhong Yan bowed his head, thinking about the possible origin of the other party in his mind, and ordered Yan Sandao to open a room to move in, while he and Pang Bao went to all parts of the village to inquire about the news.

Just ask a little and find out.

It turned out to be the Liu family in Wangqi City!

It just started two days ago.

The Liu family arranged for two family children, three guest qing, to unite five of the scattered cultivators who originally lived in the village, and brought thirty warriors to start the 'toll booth' business in the name of providing protection.

Pang Baodu: "Liu Jiagut is so fat, dare to do this?" There should be someone in the back. ”

Zhong Yan asked: "Who is the backer of the Liu family?" ”

Pang Baodu: "I heard that it is the Five Elements Sect, but I don't know which elder it depends on." ”

After a pause, he pinched his chin and said, "The location of Qingyuan Village is suitable, two spirit stones per person, and you can earn a lot of money in a month!" ”

Zhong Yan groaned and said: "Look at what the Liu family is planning, if this village is repaired, the cost is reduced, and it is provided as a post station for casual repair, there should be no opinion, it is indeed a good business path, but if it is a short-term windfall, it is another matter." ”

Pang Baodu nodded: "At present, I haven't heard of the interception and killing of monks nearby, but the Liu family will not let people know about it......

Nothing was said all night.

There were no other surprises.

Early the next morning, the three of them set off again.
