Chapter 205: The Plain Woman
The middle-aged Taoist's surname is Zhao, and his name is Ting, and he is one of the foundation building cultivators enshrined by the Li family on Sansheng Island, and his cultivation has also reached the late stage of foundation building.
This Taoist surnamed Zhao looks like a fairy and a master of the world, but in fact he is an authentic foodie, who does not refuse all kinds of secular delicacies, and can be said to have tasted all the world's delicacies.
In addition to being delicious, this Zhao Daoren also has a characteristic, that is, a broken mouth.
This point was almost unknown to everyone in the entire Nanli caravan, and the first reaction of many cultivators when they saw this Zhao Daoist was to turn around and leave, and after a long time, almost no one was willing to communicate with this Zhao Daoren.
Kong Laosan had just joined, and he didn't know about these things, but seeing this Zhao Daoren so enthusiastic, he was a little flattered at first, and responded politely.
It's just that what Kong Laosan didn't expect was that this Zhao Daoren was actually a self-cooked, and after saying two words, he began to call him a brother, and took out his treasured food and wine, and invited Kong Laosan to taste it.
For this Zhao Daoren, Kong Laosan did not reject it, but listened to the other party talk with interest, and said a few words from time to time, which made this Zhao Daoren feel like he had found a confidant.
In this way, along the way, most of the people in Zhao Dao were talking, and Kong Laosan was listening.
From this Zhao Dao's mouth, Kong Laosan really had a deeper understanding of this continent, but when Kong Laosan asked if the other party knew the news of the abandoned land, the latter was at a loss and had never heard of it at all.
"What happened to the children of the family who just said about those trials?"
Kong Laosan said softly, as if asking casually.
"You said those young ladies behind our carriage? Hey, Brother Kong, you have reached such a state at a young age, and you are even further than my old Zhao, you are really talented, no wonder the elders in your family want you to come out with you this time to take a look. But I said Brother Kong, you don't know these common-sense things, I really don't know what the elders in your sect eat. β
Obviously, this Zhao Daoren blamed Kong Laosan's shallow knowledge on the fact that the elders in the sect only cared about his cultivation, and Kong Laosan could only smile bitterly at this.
"Most of those are some of the children of the big family of Sansheng Island, just like you, many of them are also talented, they have reached the late stage of qi refining at a young age, and even some have successfully built a foundation, every year the caravan goes to business, and the sons and daughters of these big families will accompany them to see it, anyway, there are masters in the caravan to guard, and there will be nothing wrong, when you encounter some blind demon beasts, you can also see blood, but don't underestimate these people, although these young ladies are young, but if they really fight, even if the realm is higher, if they are not careful, they may also suffer a big loss......β
Zhao Daoren said, his eyes looked at the dozen or so young men and girls riding tall horses in front of the caravan, and a trace of envy flashed on his face without concealment.
These young boys and girls are not very old, most of them are in their teens and twenties, and they are chattering non-stop all the way, excited, and quite a bit of a taste of playing, but the most important thing for Kong Lao is one of the plain women who looks eighteen or nineteen years old.
The woman in front of her looked ordinary, plain, her hair was stuck in a hairpin, and she did not deliberately express herself like the children of other families who were traveling with her, but rode quietly on her horse, always with a warm smile on her face, but to Kong Laosan's surprise, although this plain-clothed woman was only a seventh-level qi refiner, no matter whether the children of the family who had already achieved a little or ordinary caravan mortals around her, she was extremely respectful to this woman, and this woman was also extremely educated, whether it was to the surrounding fellow cultivators or ordinary secular mortals, she was just as kind to herγ
"Brother Zhao, what is the identity of the plain-clothed woman?"
After a while, Kong Laosan couldn't help but ask.
Zhao Daoren understood who Kong Laosan was talking about at a glance, but Zhao Daoren, who was known as the "know-it-all" title, shook his head with an embarrassed face this time, "That woman's cultivation is not high, but her identity should not be ordinary, except for the Zhao family of the Three Holy Islands, I'm afraid that no one can let those people treat them with such respect!"
"People from the Zhao family of the Three Holy Islands?"
Kong Laosan was slightly worried, and then said, "The Li family, where Brother Zhao is located, is also a big family in the Three Holy Islands, how can it be compared to the Zhao family?"
"Alas, Brother Kong doesn't know, the three ancestors are sitting on the Three Holy Islands, the Zhao family is said to be the home of one of the ancestors, and the status of the entire Three Holy Islands is transcendent, although the Li family where I am is also enshrined in a primordial ancestor, but in terms of status, it is not as good as the one on the Three Holy Islands, in fact, if you really want to talk about it, the power of those families is almost the same, just because of the Three Holy Islands, the status of the Zhao family is relatively special!"
Zhao Daoren said, sighing helplessly.
"Oh, the Zhao family is actually related to a primordial ancestor of the Three Holy Islands?!
Muttering a word, Kong Laosan glanced in the direction of the woman again, thought about it, his eyes narrowed, and suddenly, a strong divine power spread from the center of his eyebrows, and probed in the direction of the woman.
It's just that the next moment, something happened that surprised Kong Laosan, just when the power of divine thought was just approaching the woman, the latter seemed to be aware, and his originally indifferent expression suddenly became solemn, and he turned around and looked at the rear, fortunately, Kong Laosan saw the opportunity early, and took back the power of divine thought in time, but he was very surprised in his heart.
At the moment when Kong Laosan had just withdrawn the power of his divine soul, his whole body suddenly tensed, but it returned to normal in an instant, and an imperceptible power of divine thought swept like a wave of water, but after a while, it receded like a tide, but the Zhao Daoist beside him didn't notice anything, and continued to talk about something, but at this moment Kong Laosan's mind was no longer here at all.
"Jindan Ancestor?!"
Kong Laosan muttered to himself in his heart, but there was a trace of doubt between his eyebrows.
"By the way, it is said that there are three Jindan ancestors in our business this time, I wonder if these ancestors can accompany them in the caravan?"
Kong Laosan spoke again.
"Hehe, how is this possible! Our immortal cultivators fight for their lives with the sky, what they ask for is nothing more than a glimmer of chance, those Jindan ancestors who are willing to escort with the caravan will never come only to escort the caravan, or to find some heavenly treasures, or to need some kind of demon beast's inner Dan materials, etc., these ancestors and dragons see the head and the tail, and usually leave a divine soul jade in the caravan to go to the vast ancient forest easily, and they can't see it at all on weekdays, let alone go with us with the caravan. However, once the caravan encounters some powerful demon beasts, as long as they crush the jade slips, these Jindan Ancestors will immediately rush back. β
"I see!"
Kong Laosan said, glanced in the direction of the woman without a trace, suppressed the doubts in his heart, and said no more.
As this Zhao Daoren said, the caravan business, it is really not smooth sailing, the demon clan is powerful, even if you walk along the fixed trade route, there are still countless large and small demon beasts encountered along the way, but most of them are just ordinary low-level demon beasts, there is no need for Kong Laosan and others to go out, and there is no need for anyone to order them at all, these demon beasts have just appeared, and they were summoned by the young lady of the family who came out to practice, and they were killed cleanly.
Of course, there are some more powerful, and even some demon beasts that have reached the sixth order, which are equivalent to the late stage of cultivator foundation building, have encountered them, but fortunately, most of these demon beasts are single-handed, and they were eliminated by the immortal masters in the caravan.
In the blink of an eye, half a year passed in a flash, during which the caravan stayed in three smaller Terran settlements for a few days, and spent most of the rest of the time on the road.
On this day, the caravan came to a sparsely wooded place, and under the order of the caravan steward Nan Chunfeng, the huge caravan that stretched long stopped and prepared to rest.
Most of the caravans were ordinary mortals, and even if these people were in good physical condition, they were still extremely fragile compared to immortal cultivators, so it was extremely necessary to stop and rest from time to time.
While the caravan was resting in place, the young ladies of the family who couldn't live in peace dispersed in a hurry, divided into several groups in twos and threes, and searched around.
It's just that to Kong Laosan's surprise, the plain-clothed woman who is suspected to have reached the Jindan realm did not stay in place to rest like the previous few times after everyone dispersed, but turned into a streamer in an unnoticeable corner and flew away towards the distant forest.
