Qimingfang City is located in the northwest of Binhaifang City, and the distance between them is not very far.

If there was a caravan composed entirely of earth horse beasts going back and forth between them, it would only take a month and a half to get from one fang city to another.

Strictly speaking, the distance between them is shorter than the distance from Tianhefang City to Binhaifang City.

It's just that because the latter has the existence of Tianhe, for those cultivation forces who have treasure ships,

Traveling between Tianhefang and Binhaifang is a little farther away, but it takes much less time.

This has created an illusion that the distance from Tianhefang City to Binhaifang City is closer than the distance from Qimingfang City to Binhaifang City.

Although there is no "shortcut" from Qimingfang City to Binhaifang City, and bulk resources can only be transported by caravans, Binhaifang City is one of the largest markets in the eastern part of the mainland after all, so there are still many caravans going back and forth between these two markets every year.

Do some exchange of cultivation resources, and earn spirit stones for cultivation.

In particular, the city of Binhai Fang and the island of Limeng start a treasure ship trade operation every four years.

Therefore, every year, the trade between Qimingfang City and it will become more frequent.

Countless monks belonging to the territory of the Immortal Yuan Sect would flood into Binhaifang City in a very short period of time.

They hoped that they would be able to take advantage of this opportunity to sell what they had, and they also hoped that they would be able to find some cultivation resources that would be useful for their future cultivation.

......

......

Li Xuangang has cultivated so far, he has hardly set foot in the scope of the Northern Immortal Yuan Sect, and when he was cultivating in Binhai Fang City in the past, although he could often hear some news related to the Fang City in the territory of the Immortal Yuan Sect, he was not very interested in this information at that time, so he didn't know too much.

Therefore, this time he came to Qimingfang City with Zhuang Da, and the first place he chose to step into was a tea shop with the most dense gathering of various monks in Fang City.

Here, he could hear more useful things for himself, and although some of the information was still not very credible, it was obviously much more reliable than the information he got from the city gates.

And the reason why Li Xuangang would judge this way is that the reason is simple, most of the people who have the leisure to sit in this tea shop for a while are monks who have cultivated to the late stage of qi refining or above, among which there are three or five monks in the foundation building period in addition to him and Zhuangda.

Therefore, the information revealed from these people is naturally more appropriate than that obtained from the mixed places at the city gates.

Li Xuangang took Zhuang Dacai to sit in this tea shop for a while, and he already had a deeper understanding of Qimingfang City than before.

For example, half an hour ago, he got the news from the city gate that this Qimingfang City was controlled by the Xianyuan Sect, but in fact, the Xianyuan Sect only owned fifty percent of the income here, and the other fifty percent belonged to a monk family named Jingjiang Qiu Family.

Moreover, the daily management of the entire Qimingfang City, the Xianyuan Sect will not interfere, and all the monks and formations guarding the Fang City will be provided by the Qiu family.

The four foundation building monks who are now sitting in Jinfang City are also the four family elders of the Qiu family.

However, the Qiu family, as a subsidiary monk family in the Xianyuan Sect, still has to report the income of the Fang Market truthfully, and every year the Xianyuan Sect will send someone to collect it.

Li Xuangang drank tea while paying attention to these voices that kept ringing in his ears.

It wasn't until he saw the stiff strange appearance that he diverted his attention and put it on the latter's body.

He spoke:

"The human heart is sinister, and monks are sometimes more terrifying than demon beasts. ”

......

......

Hearing the voice of the Venerable, Stiff Da was obviously stunned for a moment, and then a puzzled look appeared on his face.

And Li Xuangang saw his doubts at this time, so after putting the teacup in his hand on the table, he continued to explain:

"This Qi Refining Stage Cultivator named Zhao Xianyun set up a deception, and from the very beginning, the leading monk of the caravan who cultivated to only the seventh level of Qi refining fell into his trap. ”

Although Zhao Xianyun's deception was not too clever, and the monks who had spent a few years in Qimingfang City should be able to see through it, the leader of the caravan was easily deceived, because he was interested in the words spoken by the former. ”

"As a general rule of thumb, since this leading monk would be interested in those words, he should be the first time he has come to Qimingfang City. ”

"And judging from the size of the caravan he led, this should be just a small caravan, so it is very likely that the force behind it is only a cultivation force in the Qi refining period. ”

"For a monk like Zhao Xianyun, such a goal is just the right thing to start. ”

......

"If nothing else, the monk named Zhao Xianyun must have colluded with the shop he introduced, and will embezzle some of the benefits of the goods carried by the caravan. If they were a little more ruthless, maybe this caravan would not be able to get out of the mountains outside Qimingfang City. ”

Hearing this, the confusion on his stiff face was even worse, and he thought quietly for a moment.

And Li Xuangang picked up the teacup again and took a sip.

When he put down the teacup in his hand again, Stiff began to ask:

"Your Excellency...... Then this Zhao Xianyun is not afraid of being tracked down afterwards?"

Li Xuangang glanced at him stiffly, and casually arranged a simple soundproof barrier, and then he replied with a smile:

"The name Zhao Xianyun is fake, the location information of the cave he rented is fake, and even when he was talking to people at the time, his face was fake, and it was covered with a delicate mask. ”

"And not only that, this 'Zhao Xianyun' has also practiced an extremely clever breathing technique, it seems that his cultivation is only the sixth layer of qi refining, but in fact, his cultivation is the eighth layer of qi refining, which is a small realm higher than that leading monk. ”

"As soon as this transaction is completed, as soon as that caravan leaves Qimingfang City, wait for the next time I want to come over to look for someone, but where can I find it? Qimingfang City is so big, there are more than tens of thousands of Qi refining period cultivators, they can't help it. ”

"And as for the shop that does the deal...... They have no room to resist. To be able to own a shop in such a medium-sized market, how could the people behind the shop be afraid of such a sect or family that only had the strength of the Qi Refining Period. ”

"And if these people are a little more ruthless, risk being punished by the Jingjiang Qiu family a little bit, and do things to the end, I'm afraid that all the monks in that caravan will not have another day to seek revenge. ”

"They will be devoured with all their belongings, and their bones will be gone. Outside this Qimingfang City, in the mountains within a radius of fifty miles, I am afraid that the bones of the monks are much more than the bones of the demon beasts. ”

"From the very beginning, 'Zhao Xianyun' was very clear about his choice of targets, and he knew which caravans and monks were his targets. ”

"Of course ......"

After Li Xuangang finished talking about the deception arranged by 'Zhao Xianyun', he suddenly changed his words, and finally said:

"This kind of thing is not without any risks, and it is not uncommon to pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger, and it is not for nothing that the counter-killing is completed at the last moment. ”

"But after all, such a situation is only a minority, and those who can have the leisure to make such a game within a game, and finally eat both the loose cultivation and the store, are either the evil taste of the ruthless people, or the jokes of some hidden predecessors. ”

“......”

"The world...... After all, it's still a big fist that has the final say. ”

"As for those with small fists, they are either willing to be eaten, or they work hard to cultivate and become the ones with big fists. ”

......

......

After listening to everything that the Venerable said word for word, his stiff eyes suddenly flashed a somewhat different demeanor from the past, he never thought that there were so many twists and turns in this world.

And Li Xuangang's words, in a sense, also opened another door that was a little different from the past in his simple and rigid heart.

Looking at the stiff and nodded as if he didn't understand, the corners of Li Xuangang's mouth curled up a little, he picked up the teacup and drank it all.

Then he got up from his seat, waved his hand to remove the soundproof barrier, and said as he turned around:

"It's almost time, and it's time to get down to business..... ”

Watching Zun Shang leave, Stiff stopped thinking in his mind, and he also got up quickly, ready to follow, but looking at the cup of spiritual tea on his table that had not been touched much, he paused for a moment.

Then he stretched out his right hand, learned the actions of His Holiness, drank it all, and finally put down the teacup and chased after it.

Climbing down the stairs and through the crowd, Li Xuangang and Zhuangda stepped out of the door of the tea shop and arrived at the inner streets of Qimingfang City again.

There were people coming and going here, most of them were casual cultivators in the Qi refining period, and the two of them stopped in the middle of the street for a moment, and then Li Xuangang chose a direction and walked away.

Stiff followed him, casually and naturally, and the two walked side by side, as they had done before and for many years to come.
