After leaving the inn and walking two streets, Zhong Yan's sword soared into the air.

As far as the eye can see, there are lights everywhere, like stars in the sky.

The city that never sleeps, the fairy city Jingcheng is.

There is no closing, no watching.

In order to facilitate the monks who are in a hurry to enter the city after returning from the expedition to Mangdang Mountain, even the city gate will not be closed at night, and only guards and patrols will be added.

Compared with the daytime, the fairy city at night is more lively, and there are more colorful rainbows passing through the air.

Just as the professional men and women of the metropolis of the previous life had their after-work revelry, many monks returning from their adventures enjoyed themselves in the evening.

Green Building, Wine Shop, Building Boat, Fang Market, Beast Farm...... The lights are bright, the paper is drunk, and the night is up.

Zhong Yan followed the route in his mind, flew for more than half an hour and landed on the ground, and walked to a shop in front of him - Wuyan Pass.

The store is not big, more than 30 square meters, and you can see it at a glance.

To the left of the entrance is a curved wooden counter connected to a row of glass containers, and the walls on both sides are inlaid with storage compartments of various sizes, filled with various friars' supplies.

There is a door on the innermost left side, which is supposed to be the gateway to the backyard resting house.

"Shopkeeper!"

Zhong Yan entered and knocked on the table.

A handsome man with sword eyebrows appeared at the door of the inner room, glanced at each other, and said expressionlessly, "What do you want?" ”

Zhong Yan pointed to a glass bucket with a funnel standing on the table and asked, "How do you change this telekinetic bead?" ”

"One for one hundred and three."

"I see a hundred and four elsewhere."

"Then you go somewhere else."

"What an attitude, no wonder your business is not good!"

The shopkeeper didn't hold back, his mouth showed a bright smile, he strode over, closed the door of the store directly, and turned around and had a bear hug with Zhong Yan: "Big brother!" ”

Zhong Yan patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Light, my body can't stand up to you." ”

After the separation of Qingyang City, the foundation building was successful, and the realm has been steadily improved in recent years, and it has reached the fourth layer of the foundation.

Huo Donglai let go, his eyes were a little red, and he pulled his brother to turn around and go inside, "Big brother is talking!" ”

Zhong Yan frowned and took a deep look at his back.

Passing through the small gate, there is a small courtyard that is slightly larger than the outside.

There was the corpse of a three-eyed Qingfeng wolf on the ground, and there were jade porcelain bottles and animal skins on the stone table next to it, obviously Huo Donglai was dismantling the corpse of the demon beast just now.

Waving his hand to clean up, Huo Donglai introduced the spirit wine and dishes on the table.

"The one on the left is the storage room, and the cultivation room on the right, there is a clansman from the Shi family who is here to help, so I asked him to go back first...... Big brother sit down, let's have a good drink tonight! ”

Zhong Yan looked around, sat down, tilted his head outwards and asked, "Why didn't you open the store to Fang Market?" ”

"The rent of Fang Market is high, the entire Jingcheng eighteen Fang Market Street, hundreds of shops of all kinds, although the customer flow is large, but it is apportioned, there are not many customers in the small shops that are not famous, and there is another pill shop in Wufeng ...... No. 9 Fang Street."

The two touched a cup, and Huo Donglai continued: "I, the main business, is a repeat customer, and now I have also accumulated some regular casual customers, and I accept them to get resources from Mangdang Mountain;

At the least, I made more than 100 yuan a month, and at most I made more than 1,000 yuan at a time, and on average, four or five hundred per month, like the Prayer Beads and Pills, which were just sold by the way......"

"It's much better than staying in the sect." Zhong Yanzhen said, the other party's opening a store to make money is secondary, and the purpose of coming here is to collect news from all parties for Wufeng.

"Yes, it's easier, you don't have to take the risk yourself."

Huo Donglai poured a sip of spiritual wine and said, "Big brother really surprised and surprised me, he actually cultivated to the ninth level of qi refining!" At the rate of these years, it shouldn't take long to build the foundation, and then I will save enough money to buy you a Tsukidan! ”

"You don't have to worry about me."

After a drink, Zhong Yan turned to ask, "What's the situation on the sect's side?" ”

Huo Donglai waved his hand to condense an isolation barrier, and said in detail: "The situation is getting worse and worse, the sect division should be eight or nine inseparable, and the two sides of the sect master and the law enforcement hall cannot get along, but the main thing is that the other eight peaks have their own thoughts......"

"Yan Guo fully implemented the guest mansion system, and also sent monks to take charge of the city lord's mansion and completely control the harvest of the nemetry beads, but the effect of the neminia beads on the warriors is better than that ......of the monks, so it is strange that it does not cause a big war."

"According to the information I have learned, it is speculated that in the end, there will be only one or two head forces, and the rest will all become princes, and each force will control one or several cities, layer by layer, and pay the fixed prayer bead tax."

"When the time comes, a small Qi refining family may own a small city or a market town, not to mention the different factions in each sect."

Zhong Yan raised his eyebrows and asked, "Don't you want the form of the state to exist?" ”

Huo Donglai nodded and said: "It should be, think about it, how huge the resources of the Nian Li Bead are, it is still sustainable, how can it still be controlled by mortals, but the number of monks is a drop in the bucket compared to mortal warriors, and it can only divide the forces of martial artists and clamp down on the strongest group of people, otherwise if there is a big battle between monks and martial artists, I don't know how long it will last and how many people will die." ”

Zhong Yan said speechlessly: "Even if you don't have a monk against a martial artist, you have to fight for a long time, according to what you said, between the cities and the forces of the various families, they must first divide the superiority, and even continue to encroach on each other." ”

Huo Donglai was silent and said: "Almost, this matter is an opportunity for the eldest brother, but prepare in advance, now all forces are secretly plotting, Wufeng has united the three Zhuji families......"

As he spoke, he took out a stack of materials from the storage bag: "Big brother, I have analyzed it for you, the area around Qingyang belongs to the 'Shunyi Ding Family' and the 'Heishui Peng Family' The strongest strength, the former has a close relationship with Erfeng, and the latter secretly cooperates with the Five Elements Sect......"

Zhong Yan listened and watched, frowned and groaned for a long time, and asked casually: "Ma Zhida is looking for you for this matter?" ”

Huo Donglai: "Yes, the Ma family and the newly promoted Ma Zhida are only four foundations, and they want to find Wufeng as a backer, followed by soup, and they are just a favor, I only have a line." ”

“……”

Huo Donglai also mentioned that the 'Changning Shen family', which has a close relationship with Sifeng, has also recruited several foundation builders in recent years.

In addition, among the peaks of the Huoyun Sect, the most confusing behavior is the Seven Peaks, who originally belonged to the 'conservatives' of the sect master's lineage, but the second disciple was extremely close to the Law Enforcement Hall and exposed his whereabouts in the Wei State.

And now, the six disciples are married to the Tang family.

The Tang family is undoubtedly the first-echelon immortal cultivation family of the Yan Kingdom, and its strength is stronger than the Five Elements Sect and the Qingyu Sect, but it is unwise to offend the 'conservatives' and the 'main station faction' at the same time.

"Big brother, I still can't figure it out, how could Qifeng marry the seventh disciple to Qingyang and combine with you?"

"You ask me, who do I ask." The corners of Zhong Yan's mouth twitched, and Yuan Ziyi didn't even know it.

But by now, he had determined that Su Yue asked Pei Nanjin to kill Shen Lanxin in order to prevent him from marrying the Shen family and leaving Qingyang.

"Is it because of me, or because of Qingyang......"

Zhong Yan secretly thought, although he performed well in Qingyang, wouldn't it be better for Qifeng to sacrifice a true spirit root disciple and marry a powerful foundation building family?

As for the relationship between himself and Li Lin, judging from Su Yue's performance in all aspects, he didn't care much about it in his heart.
