The Battle of the Nine Plains Chapter Seventy-Three Invitations
After listening to Bai Wanli's introduction, Jiang Chen finally understood a little, but he still had a question in his heart, and then asked with a light smile: "Mr. Bai, when I first arrived, although I heard what Mr. said and understood some information, I still have a question, I want to ask for advice." ”
"If the immortal master has any questions, please just ask, and the old man will try his best to answer!" The old man hurriedly said respectfully.
"I don't understand it a little bit! Since the various tribes in the Dune Land are so eager for trade, then why does Pleiades City still have strict control over the qualifications of trade, if it is completely liberalized, then wouldn't the hundreds of tribes in the Dune Land be more prosperous in commerce? ”
Bai Wanli heard Jiang Chen's question, and a wry smile appeared on his face.
"The immortal master laughed, the spiritual veins in the land of the dunes are scarce, except for the Pleiades City and the six Taicheng cities that occupy some spiritual veins, the rest of the tribes can occupy less than half of the spiritual veins, without the nourishment of the spiritual veins, many tribes in the land of the dunes live in extremely bad places, which makes most of the materials and cultivation resources need to rely on foreign trade to obtain, so everyone is eager to trade with the big city, and Yu Guo has made a lot of restrictions on trade between each other in order to prevent the land of the dunes from becoming bigger, After all, the resources in the Land of Dunes are also limited, and it is impossible to completely open the supply, which makes Pleiades have to control all materials! Bai Wanli carefully explained to Jiang Chen.
Hearing this, Jiang Chen nodded slowly and was silent for a while, half-squinting his eyes and falling into deep thought.
After a long time, he said lightly: "I didn't expect this land of sand dunes to be so barren and so embarrassing. Not only to defend the ghost side in the east for Yu, but also to be feared by the Yu country, he is really not a person inside and outside. ”
Jiang Chen stared at the old man in front of him, and when he saw this, he quite agreed with his words, and then continued: "What Lord Chang Fang wants me to do, there is nothing I can do about it. Because his cultivation is really not high, even if he agrees to fight for that place, he doesn't dare to guarantee that he will be able to get a ranking. Instead of taking humiliation on himself, it is better to ask Mr. to truthfully return to the master of Chang Fang, and let him invite another master! Later, I will pay some spirit stones and ask your lord for a map of the land of dunes, and thank your lord for his hospitality. ”
Jiang Chen said slowly, speaking very slowly and clearly, but he seemed a little indifferent under the words.
Bai Wanli listened to Jiang Chen's words of refusal, his face turned a lot whiter, and he seemed to be frightened.
Immediately afterwards, he pleaded bitterly to Jiang Chen:
"Master Immortal, you should help my Shanyu tribe! You must know that in order to be able to obtain the qualification of business, the head of my family has consumed a lot of savings in the tribe. And in order to get the ranking, Lord Chang Fang has already led hundreds of people such as Lao Yu to run thousands of miles, more than a dozen tribes, if we can't find an immortal master to help my Shanyu tribe, our tribe will no longer be able to shelter so many people. And we, the helpers, will also lose our jobs and have to find another way. The old man had a pleading look on his face.
"It's really lowly in the lower cultivation, and it's just passing through here, and I don't want to stay in the land of the sand dunes for a long time, and I won't go to that place to compete for the rank of the conference to provoke what is wrong!" Jiang Chen shook his head expressionlessly. The refusal was crisp.
Bai Wanli saw that Jiang Chen had made up his mind, and his voice was a little stern, so he didn't dare to say any more advice, so he could only talk to Jiang Chen about some local customs and some things that needed attention.
Half an hour later, Jiang Chen saw that the old man was a little absent-minded, so he asked him to go back to rest first, and come here tomorrow to teach him some local language.
Bai Wanli saw that Jiang Chen refused to be solicited, and at this time he just wanted to return to the master of Chang Fang, so he seemed a little absent-minded. Seeing that Jiang Chen was so sympathetic to him, he withdrew without hesitation.
Jiang Chen couldn't help but sigh lightly after watching the old man walk out and respectfully bring it to the door.
He already knew the general situation of this place, if he stayed here for a long time, he would not only face the war with the ghost side, the deployment of Pleiades City, but also the demon beasts that emerged from the sand from time to time, not to mention the extremely terrifying sandstorm.
All these factors discouraged him from lingering here and waiting for the foundation to be built. Then he closed his eyes and quietly refined his qi.
But Jiang Chen only meditated for a short while, and there was a faint sound of footsteps outside the door.
Although he didn't open the door, his divine consciousness had already drifted out, reflecting everything outside the door in his mind. It turned out that the old man went and returned, followed by the master of Chang Fang, looking preoccupied.
Jiang Chen's brows furrowed slightly. Sighed secretly, it seemed that this Changfang Master had not yet understood his determination and wanted to try again.
If it weren't for the fact that everything was relatively unfamiliar in this dune land, and if I needed to exchange them for a map, I would have already cast a spell to defeat them. But now sitting on someone else's turf, it's better not to seem too unkind.
Thinking of this, Jiang Chen didn't wait for the two of them to come forward and knock on the door, and his voice came to the door calmly: "Please come in, two of you!" The door is not locked! ”
When Lord Chang Fang stepped forward and was about to open the door, he was startled when he heard Jiang Chen's voice ringing in his ears, and looked back at Bai Wanli. But they immediately realized that it was Jiang Chen inside who was calling them in. So he hurriedly tidied up his shirt, agreed respectfully, and gently pushed the door and walked in.
Jiang Chen had already stood up from the stool at this time, and was standing in the room with his hands behind his back.
"Master Immortal, I really take the liberty to disturb, Lord Chang Fang wants to talk to you about that matter in person, and please ask Lord Immortal Master to give my family master a chance, okay?" Bai Wanli had already known that Jiang Chen was not the kind of person who liked to drag mud and water, so he simply explained his intentions directly.
Hearing this, Jiang Chen sorted out his mood, glanced at the old man, and said with a smile: "Of course you can." However, it has been made clear below, and I hope that your lord will not be strong! Jiang Chen had already made up his mind in his heart, revealing a look of indifference.
Hearing Jiang Chen say this, Bai Wanli showed a little embarrassment, but he still explained truthfully to the Changfang Lord.
After hearing this, Master Chang Fang's expression changed, but he immediately said a few words to the old man with a solemn expression, which made Bai Wanli stunned for a moment, with a strange look on his face.
And Jiang Chen watched coldly from the sidelines, without any abnormality on his face.
"Immortal Master! Our Fang Master said that as long as the immortal master is willing to help, no matter whether it is successful or not, the mountain tribe is willing to pay a large amount of spirit stones as a reward. And if the immortal master really won the qualification to do business with Taicheng for the Gu family. Lord Chang Fang is even willing to act as a guarantor for the immortal master, an outsider, to register with the Pleiades Star City, so that the immortal master can become the guardian immortal master of the mountain tribe, and many obligations of the immortal master in the land of the sand dunes, the master of Chang Fang is also willing to spend spirit stones to help the immortal master be exempted. The most important thing is that with the name of the Guardian Immortal Master of the Mountain Valley, even if there is a war, the Immortal Master does not have to go to the front line immediately. ”
When Bai Wanli said these words, his expression was a little dazed. It seems that Lord Chang Fang promised Jiang Chen something amazing.
Jiang Chen was slightly stunned, touched his chin, and asked a little puzzledly: "I heard what Mr. said before, isn't the land of sand dunes welcoming foreign monks to settle in?" Why do you need a guarantor at this time? ”
Although Jiang Chen's words did not blame, they made Bai Wanli break out in a cold sweat, and he thought that he had not explained clearly, so he hurriedly said:
"The immortal master has misunderstood! There are generally two kinds of monks in the land of sand dunes, one is a monk who was born and raised here for a long time, and the other is a monk from outside, most of them are passing by, or come to do some things, and they will leave after a year or two. The other is the monks who are willing to live in the land of the sand dunes for a long time, for this kind of monks, Pleiades City is more important, in addition to being able to live for a long time without paying spirit stones, they will also get some subsidies from Pleiades City, but they must bear some obligations accordingly, that is, guarding trade routes, going to the tribe to engrave the guardian array, and cooperating with the deployment of Pleiades City in case of war, and only after three years of volunteer work can they go to various tribes or Taicheng to serve as guardian immortals and other positions. However, in addition to the above two, there is also a foreign monk who can directly serve as a guardian immortal master with the guarantee of the local tribe master. In addition to obtaining a stable cultivation environment, this kind of cultivation can also be worshiped by the tribe and subsidized by Pleiades City, and the benefits are quite numerous. However, this situation is basically rare, so the old man was negligent for a while, so he didn't mention this matter to the immortal master! ”
Bai Wanli was afraid that Jiang Chen would misunderstand something, so he told everything in one breath.
Hearing this, Jiang Chen's expression became gloomy.
"According to what you say, it will be of great benefit to me that I have become a guardian immortal master?" Jiang Chen said with some disbelieving.
"It's not all, our mountain tribe has no spiritual vein, so the aura is relatively thin, which is also the reason why many monks look down on us and the mountain tribe has not been a guardian immortal, but Pleiades still gives each tribe the name of a guardian immortal, for the immortal master, most of my family's promises are for the immortal master to be less entangled in things, and he can focus on cultivation, if he can have business qualifications, my family master said, In the future, when you earn spirit stones, you can even hire other monks to deal with some things within the tribe, and you don't have to bother the immortal master. The old man didn't dare to hide it, and explained the truth to Jiang Chen.
After hearing all this, Jiang Chen's face turned cloudy.
These regulations are obviously to stimulate the competition of various tribes, so that they can bring in more monks to the land of dunes!
He didn't pay that much attention to whether the mountain tribe had a spiritual vein, because of the world beads, he especially needed to cultivate quietly in a quiet and remote place, and the mountain tribe would not attract the covetousness of other monks if it didn't have a spiritual vein.
Jiang Chen frowned, lowered his head and paced back and forth in the room for a few steps, and then looked up at the middle-aged man surnamed Chang, with a look of anticipation on his face.
Seeing this Changfang master's expression, Jiang Chen sighed and said slowly: "You first tell me what the situation is in this business qualification competition conference, and what is the strength of the participants, and then I will see if I want to make a move." ”
Jiang Chen looked a little helpless, with a look that gave the two of them a lot of face.
Bai Wanli was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly explained the matter to Lord Chang Fang, which couldn't help but make the other party also look ecstatic.
And after Jiang Chen finished speaking, he secretly thought to himself: "If these cultivators who don't have the Qi and Blood Realm or the Foundation Building Period in the competition conference, they shouldn't lose to most people with their large number of spirit runes and a few magic weapons!" In this way, it is not impossible to wait for the medicinal materials of Zhuji Dan and Innocent Pill to mature and build a foundation in the Shanyu tribe. ”
