Chapter 156: Choosing a Method
"Yes, I want to... Well... I would like to ask you about the news of the two sects of the Divine Sword Sect and the Snow Mountain Sect, about their contacts with the outside world and the visitors within the sect in the past two years. Tian Jihong said after pondering for a moment.
Of course, this was not the question that Tian Jihong prepared at the beginning, he originally planned to risk being found out, and directly entrusted Wang Qing to find the traces of his father and mother. It's just that in this way, the other party is afraid that he will immediately associate his surname with it, and in the case of uncertainty whether Wang Qing will keep his promise to sell his information to other forces, it is still very risky for himself to act like this, at least he will soon leave a handle in Wang Qing's hands.
However, after having the news that he had just gotten from the file, Tian Jihong immediately changed his mind, starting from where his father and mother might go, and inquired about the news of the two from the side. Although such a large-scale spying on the intelligence of big forces is also risky, and it is definitely more difficult and expensive, at least his identity will not be exposed to an intelligence dealer like Wang Qing in the short term.
"Oh? It's not going to be easy, and you're going to give me a problem. Not to mention that these two major sects are not on our Northwest Martial Continent, just within the reach of their forces, the investigation of intelligence spies like me is quite strict, and it is difficult to find out information from them. ”
These few words are not entirely Wang Qing's deliberate price increase, for example, the Divine Sword Sect, a behemoth located in the southern region of the Xiwu Continent, its strength is not much better than that of the Shiyu Sect, and it is like the same as the Northwest Martial Arts in the Qixuan Sea where it is located, and it is a real emperor-like existence.
As for the Snow Mountain Sect, it is even more difficult to do, it is located in the distant Tobu Continent, not to mention, the Great Snow Mountain and Qipan Mountain, Tianshen Mountain, the ancient barren forest, Qulin Lake and the Death Desert, and is called the six Jedi between the continents, it is rumored that its coverage area is affected by the great power of the peerless power in ancient times, and the snow does not melt all year round between the mountains, and there are forbidden places such as the Falling God Stream, the Ice Prison Labyrinth, etc., which make the monks prohibitive.
What Tian Jihong didn't know was that the Snow Mountain Sect, which was in the depths of the Great Snow Mountain, had been a hidden sect for a long time, and had been separated from the outside world for a long time, and had only asked about worldly matters all year round. If you want to find out the news of such a force, it is thousands of times more difficult than that of the Divine Sword Sect. This is also the reason why Wang Qing, who has always been known as a know-it-all, is also so difficult.
"I don't need the details of the door, I just want to know if there are any outsiders with a reputation in the martial arts world who have come to visit the door in the past year and a half from the two major sects, I wonder if Brother Wang can get such information?" Tian Jihong also quickly noticed the other party's hesitation, and hurriedly added.
"Well, if that's all there is to it. In this way, you give me a week to let me have some relationship, I have the impression that there is a capable person who specializes in this kind of information in [Beiyue City], and it seems that there are acquaintances among various sects, so I still invite you kid to come here to find me when the time comes. Wang Qing thought for a moment and finally agreed, and Tian Jihong was also very satisfied to see that the other party did not get to the bottom of his actions, and it seemed that the other party did abide by the rules in front of the transaction.
"But you have to be mentally prepared, such a complex and large-scale intelligence, my side charges are too high." Wang Qing also immediately reminded, "After a week, you come over and remember to prepare a deposit, the cost is at least five gold coins or more, and then the final price will be negotiated according to the content of the intelligence, I don't know if the little brother of Tianji can accept this price?" ”
Hearing such a number, Tian Jihong couldn't help but gasp, he had only come into contact with the concept of gold coins when he lived with his father and mother in Nanyue Village. After coming to Donglin Village with his younger brother for nearly two years, the living expenses of the two of them added up to less than a hundred silver coins, if it weren't for the dozens of gold coins left by his father and mother, Tianjihong really didn't have the confidence to take over this commission at this time.
It's just that no matter how expensive it is, no matter what, Tianjihong has to grasp this rare opportunity, even if it is a little possible. "Okay, the cost is not a problem, but I also ask Brother Wang not to wantonly reveal to outsiders the matter of the commission, otherwise it will attract the attention of these two major sects, and it will be difficult to get rid of the relationship in the future, and I am afraid that you and I will have to suffer at that time."
"Don't worry, you may look at me on weekdays, but in terms of business, there is no ambiguity, if you can't protect the privacy of customers, then there is no need to continue to mix in this industry." Wang Qing said with an oath on his face, and at this point, Tian Jihong had to nod and pin his hopes on this guy.
"Okay, in order to show my sincerity, I will lead the little brother to choose a suitable soul power cultivation method, and I will also lead you to see the strength of my Tianqing Chamber of Commerce." After that, Wang Qing firmly locked the door of the room not far behind him, and through the gap, Tian Jihong could see that the room there was also full of all kinds of files, but the latter was much more neatly arranged than the outside, and it was obvious that the information stored in the inner room was the capital that Wang Qing really relied on to make a living now, and it was not allowed to be easily peeped at by outsiders.
Under the leadership of Wang Qing, Tianjihong followed him to the third floor of the palace-like hall, where it was also the same as the Pavilion Outer Trade Square, with a variety of strange goods displayed in the counter. However, on the other hand, the trading office on the third floor is obviously much more orderly, and most of the traders during this period are members of the Chamber of Commerce dressed in green robes.
As for the goods themselves, they are also very in line with the style of the Tianqing Chamber of Commerce, and Tianjihong looks at it, not only are most of them books and dossiers related to cultivation or other skills, but a little closer observation can find that more than half of these recipes are actually from the hands of major sects. This method is supposed to be a secret between the various factions, and it is indeed placed in such a grand hall for sale, which is indeed an eye-opener for the heavens.
Under Wang Qing's guidance, Tian Jihong also searched forward along the row of counters, and the dazzling array of various books really made it a little difficult for him to choose. There are not only books related to spiritual power and soul power cultivation, but also a dazzling variety of methods such as formation inscriptions, alchemy and medicine, ore refining, and weapon casting. The dazzled Tian Jihong finally had to restrain the curiosity in his heart and concentrate on finding the right method for soul power cultivation.
"If Xiaofei comes here with me, I'm afraid I can live here for the rest of my life when I see these books." Thinking of his younger brother who stayed at home and was obsessed with all kinds of strange ancient books since he was a child, a rare smile appeared on Tian Jihong's face.
Fortunately, he was not as obsessed with these things as his brother, and his goal was very clear, which was to find a method that could effectively improve his soul power cultivation at this stage. In his hands, now he not only has the three spiritual power exercises left by his master, Liujiaoye, and even his father and mother in the cellar, but also the boxing techniques given to him by Mo Juan in terms of martial arts, and even the body method, which is a more profound mystical method, and his father and mother have prepared it for themselves. The only thing he lacks now is this way to improve his soul power.
Tian Jihong is well aware of the truth that greed is too much to chew, although practicing multiple exercises in the martial arts world is compared with each other, it can indeed have a certain effect on the improvement of one's own cultivation, and there are even many monks in the martial arts world who are distracted from practicing two or more exercises at the same time; But these are very rare cases, for Tian Jihong, who has just entered the cultivation for a short time, what has the greatest impact on his cultivation and combat power from beginning to end is the main body exercises currently operating in his body, which means that the choice of the latter will be crucial.
In terms of Tian Jihong's talent, it is inevitable that he will practice a variety of exercises in the future, but now that the realm is not high, Tian Jihong understands that he must focus on one kind of exercise. When there is room for improvement in follow-up cultivation, and the comprehension of low-level exercises is more rapid, it is not too late to go back and refer to other auxiliary exercises.
It's just that at the moment, what kind of cultivation method is suitable for him, Tian Jihong is a stunned young man who doesn't know much, so he has to listen to Wang Qing's endless explanations along the way.
“… So as I said, trading in the trade area within the Tianqing Chamber of Commerce can only use the contribution of our Chamber of Commerce as the transaction currency; It's just that you are not a member of the Chamber of Commerce, and if an outsider runs alone and exchanges money for the contribution of the Chamber of Commerce to buy, it will be too much of a loss. So after you choose the appropriate exercises, I will pay with the contribution of the Chamber of Commerce, many of them are my acquaintances and customers, and you will definitely be able to get a considerable discount, and then you will give me money directly, and I guarantee that the exchange ratio is much lower than that in the Chamber of Commerce. Wang Qing didn't care whether Tianjihong paid attention to what he said, so he continued to speak in one breath without pause.
"You look at this "Drawing Divine Heart Method" is good, this method is spread in a small sect in the Southern Regions that is both good and evil, although its effect seems to be a little evil, it is to absorb the soul power of others for your own use, but for a beginner like you, it is the fastest way to improve the cultivation of soul power."
Tian Jihong shook his head lightly after taking a closer look, he was not expecting to quickly improve his soul power, but rather hoping to lay a good foundation for subsequent cultivation; The shortcomings of such a domineering cult method that has obtained a large amount of ascension in a short period of time are also obvious, and in this way, relying on absorbing the chaotic soul consciousness of different people to improve their cultivation will inevitably leave a lot of sequelae when the realm is high in the later stage.
"What about this one? "Blazing Flame Technique" - is through a partial method, by placing the soul consciousness in the flame to calcine and quench, so as to intensify the condensation speed of the soul consciousness, and at the same time, the soul power cultivated will be closer to the fire attribute, which can be regarded as the best choice for monks who cultivate the spiritual power of the fire attribute. ”
