Chapter 528: Quiet Time
Spirit Cage Chamber of Commerce......
On the way back, he repeatedly chewed on the new meaning brought by these words that were not unfamiliar, as well as the appeal of Zeng Baoxian, the head of Chixia Sect, Jiang Feng shook his head again, although he had reached a preliminary agreement with Zeng Baoxian on the terms of joining the alliance, he still couldn't agree with his additional proposal.
Chixiamen hopes that after joining the alliance, it will promote the action of eliminating all the forces of the Spirit Cage Chamber of Commerce in the territory of the Seven Alliances, in addition, there is also an organization called "Night Crossing", it is said that there are many activities in the eastern part of Chixiamen, the hometown of Luoyingmen, and the central and northern parts of the Biyun Sect, for the latter, Jiang Feng is naturally indispensable, after all, the other party has nothing to do with himself and the Qianshan Sect, but the Spirit Cage Chamber of Commerce is different.
The cooperation with the branch of the Spirit Cage Chamber of Commerce to which Qiu Nanjia belongs cannot be said to be pleasant, but so far, in addition to being coerced by some people, the rest of them have always played a positive role in the development of the sect, especially the help they provided on the issue of shops in Juque City, which led to the Qianshan Sect receiving a large amount of orders from the other party, in addition to the direct income brought by the excavation of the spiritual veins near Dongting Town, this cooperation can be regarded as the largest source of income for the Qianshan SectThe rapid growth of the number of monks, as well as the further deepening of cooperation with the Changning Chamber of Commerce, will gradually expand the income, but in a short period of time, if you want to cut off this source, for the Asama Sect, the real number cannot bear the burden.
However, the relationship with the other party cannot be said to be harmonious. Qiu Nanjia is still a potential threat, not to mention that the old matter of Fuyuan Town may be brought up again at any time, let's just say that the Huadi Gate lineage she represents also has the idea of deeply binding the Asa Mountain Sect and becoming its forbidden body, but with the addition of the Asa Mountain Sect to the Jincheng Alliance, this plan has to be abandoned or changed in disguise, but Jiang Feng believes that the Spirit Cage Chamber of Commerce represented by Qiu Nanjia must still be a force that he cannot ignore.
On the other hand, he has a grudge against Mo Haishu, and most of the two-year period has passed, Jiang Feng is not hesitant to use the power of the alliance to get rid of the other party, he has not yet been muddy to the extent that he has to slash the other party to remove hidden dangers. However, getting rid of the other party means starting a war, and a duel is okay, which is a personal grudge between the two, but using the power of the sect, or the power of the alliance, will trigger a backlash from the entire Spirit Cage Chamber of Commerce, and it will naturally cover Qiu Nanjia, and then destroy the existing cooperation between the two sides, which has to be done cautiously.
Dongfang Li, the president of the Spirit Cage Chamber of Commerce, according to Zeng Baoxian, is also a figure who has reached the Yuanying realm, so if you want to deal with him, you need to do it yourself by the alliance leader Wan Yuting, and the chance of one-on-one victory is not great, therefore, you need to mobilize the prefecture-level masters of the same realm in the entire alliance to do it, it can be said that Zeng Baoxian's plan is very big, but as he said, if you want to relieve the pressure of Tianlimen going south, then you must first cut off its minions, otherwise once the war starts, these hidden internal forces are the most terrifying.
The truth is agreed, although the Qianshan Sect still can't feel the pressure of the Tianli Gate going south, but he knows that if the Chixia Gate really can't resist it, the Asshan Sect will also be straight ahead sooner or later, and there will not be so many choices at that time. However, short-term interests made it impossible for him to cut off contact with the Spirit Cage Chamber of Commerce at all.
Speaking of which, it can be regarded as drinking to quench his thirst, I just hope that the cooperation can continue, as for the harm, it is best to control it to a certain extent, thinking about it, he suddenly saw the light of Hongzhi in front of him, and couldn't help but have an idea.
Ku Shan Temple was originally a big force in Tianyin Temple, but now it is not also confined to the Asa Mountain Sect, of course, this is mainly due to external forces. If the Spirit Cage Chamber of Commerce is greatly weakened for some reason, or it is not so exaggerated, as long as it reaches a level where it can be equal to the Asagama Sect, is it not easy.
If that's the case, the harm it causes can be ignored, of course, that will make it unable to provide a lot of resources to the Qianshan Sect, as if it will become the second in the Changning Chamber of Commerce, but so what, if the time is enough, the income from the commercial tax, and other businesses including refining weapons, can provide more and more spirit stones, and he will not worry about the loss caused by weakening the Spirit Cage Chamber of Commerce.
With such thoughts, Jiang Feng felt that Zeng Baoxian's suggestion was not impossible, but it was still unrealistic to want the Asakyama Sect to rush ahead, he had to wait for the right opportunity to enter, before that, he still had to focus on the things in front of him, and keep enough vigilance to not let the Spirit Cage Chamber of Commerce intervene, so as not to affect the sect too much.
As for many important characters in Dongfang Kasa and the Spirit Cage Chamber of Commerce, they have not been seen recently, so what does it have to do with themselves, and it is impossible for Mo Haishu to use such a strong force against him, so what is there to worry about?
Thinking of this, he suddenly felt that he should go to a few paddocks that cooperated with the Spirit Cage Chamber of Commerce to have a look, so he suddenly inspired the "Flying Boat Against the Wind", caught up with Hongzhi in front, and the two turned around and went straight to the direction of Heji Town and Zhanchuan Town.
............
Lizong, Juque City.
Qiu Nanjia sent off the low-key president Dongfang Li, and then went up to the top floor of the shop, resting quietly, staring at the snow-white waves stirred up by various boats in the canal not far away, only in this way can she struggle out of the chaotic thoughts and gain a trace of clarity in the hustle and bustle.
Things are always going in a direction that they don't want to.
The president was obviously here to compete for the Heavenly Dao that he had never heard of, although he didn't say it directly, just to help a fellow Daoist of the Tianli Sect, but the use of resources in such a big battle showed that he himself did not just have the idea of simply watching from the sidelines.
Maybe it's a bloody storm, and those who can compete for the Heavenly Dao are at least pseudo-heavens or Yuanying cultivators, but the time for the president to advance to the Yuanying level is not long.
Opportunities are often reserved for those who are prepared, but there are not many opportunities in themselves.
This is the president's original words, she personally thinks it is very reasonable, like many words said by the president before, full of philosophy, people can't help but be vigilant, this time is the same, but Qiu Nanjia has other ideas, concentrating the strength of the plenum, which means that the expansion of business will fall into a state of stagnation in the short term, including the preparations that he was asked to do, which has nothing to do with the operation of the chamber of commerce itself, which is contrary to the original intention of Qiu Nanjia when he joined the association.
The original intention has not changed.
Qiu Nanjia also thinks that this is completely unrealistic, as time goes by, she has long realized that business and the relationship with the sects along the way, the dealings with the big people, and even her own cultivation, all have a close and chaotic relationship, because of this, she has never given up the infiltration of the sects along the way, nor has she neglected to cultivate, and has always put her own improvement in a position second only to business, but she completely ignores business, she can't do it to herself.
In the next month, except for the most ordinary lay members of the Chamber of Commerce, they will give up the work at hand and reconnoiter within the range of the southwest of Lizong, the Nangong family, the Li family of the West Sea, the Zhen family of Nanling, the western coast of Jinguang Pavilion, and the eastern coast of Yefan Kingdom, and try to collect information on the haunts of Yuanying, Jindan, and monks of the same realm, as well as various suspicious visions, and summarize them in Juque City for Qiu Nanjia and Li Longjian to screen, and then present them to Dongfang Li, who lives in seclusion here.
To say that it is seclusion is not entirely true. Qiu Nanjia knew that Dongfang Li had met with Yu Qingfeng of the Li Sect, although the meeting place was not in Juque City, it must be impossible to avoid the prying eyes of the master here, so after such analysis, in the several sects along the coast of Qianlong Bay, there may already be high-level monks in place, just wait for the legendary Heavenly Dao to appear, and then it will be the main show.
Qiu Nanjia sighed slightly, took out a few recent plans from his sleeve, looked at them a few times, and knew that in this situation, no matter how good the plan was, it had to make way for the president's plan, even if there was a slight loss in business, it was not so important.
It's rare to be idle.
Maybe this is what it calls "quiet time", she couldn't help but think.
............
I am quite satisfied with the inspection of the two towns, although the background of the personnel hired by the Spirit Cage Chamber of Commerce is not pure, but at least it has little to do with Tianli Gate and Huadi Gate, therefore, Jiang Feng has no intention of delving into it, the so-called water is clear, there is no fish, not to mention that it is not hired by Hua Lingshi. After encouraging the monks in the sect who studied and observed here, and gave some low-level spirit rune elixirs to the outstanding spiritual plant monk Zhang Zimo and the imperial beast monk Wang Ping, he returned to Luochuan.
There was not much time left before he went to Lizong Lizhou City, and in the remaining few days, Jiang Feng planned to calm down and enjoy the last moment of peace. Originally, he planned to arrange a report on the five county guards in the sect, but on the one hand, there were not many reports submitted from various places, and he could understand the situation somewhat, and on the other hand, as he saw along the way, all affairs were going smoothly, and there were no practical difficulties to solve by himself, so he put this thought to rest and just wait for the meeting at the end of the year.
Mrs. Su Jin returned to Beimu County a few days ago, and she was very satisfied with the pills she provided and spent more and more time on cultivation, accompanied by the fact that the inner mansion of the head of the family began to become deserted.
"Did you miss me?"
Qiu Zhenzhen's shadow appeared in time in the inner mansion of the head of the house, and brought good news, under her circumstance, two people who had served under Qiu Bai Temple in Heishuimen, and now they have been scattered in various sects as Xuan-level monks, and they plan to join the shallow mountain sect to serve, although it will take a few days to arrive, but it is always a good phenomenon for Xuan-level monks to join.
One of them is called "Zhu Tianshi", this person has been a puppet of the Jincheng faction for a while, after the Heishuimen changed hands, he gave up the idea of joining the sect, and directly did a loose cultivation, recently cultivated to be trapped in the Xuan-level sixfold, because of the lack of cultivation resources, only then did he have the intention of defecting to the sect, Qiu Zhenzhen promised to give him a layer of salary and power for the deacon, he weighed it again and again, pondering that he might not be able to mix this position in other sects, so he agreed to her.
The second name is "Liu Yuansheng" , Originally a spiritual-level consummation monk, I don't know why I bumped into the opportunity, and was promoted to the first level of the Xuan level, because I am quite familiar with Zhu Tianshi, and I have some contacts on weekdays, so I was introduced by the former, and I am also ready to join the sect, his conditions are very simple, just the opposite of Zhu Tianshi, that is, do not hold any position, and be idle if you can, obviously, such an appeal must not be completely satisfied, and it is impossible for the Qianshan Sect to raise an idler, not to mention that he is not a war cultivator, his ability is ordinary, and he has no other specialties. Jiang Feng decided to throw him to the Department of Rites to do an idle job, thinking that it was not a big problem, the current deacon Sun Xianzhang was a delicate person, and he should not need Liu Yuansheng's help.
In addition, Jiang Feng asked him, like Zhu Tianshi, to share the experience of being promoted to the Xuan level with the outer disciples, as well as the inner disciples who were willing to observe, speaking of which, this value was what Jiang Feng valued the most at the moment.
The spirit stone finally did not have white flowers, fortunately, Qiu Zhenzhen's trip was quite economical, and there was no need to supplement the spirit stone, because Su Jin was not there, Jiang Feng left Qiu Zhenzhen behind, and secretly awakened the law to Qiu Sitian, although the "Shannan Five Sections Bamboo" left behind was only a spirit plant law of low value, but it was enough for Qiu Zhenzhen to be happy. With the help of Qiu Sitian's remnant phase, as well as the remnant phase that he flew to the wilderness village to grab at night, Jiang Feng successfully condensed two pieces of seven-pointed gray crystals, and although it was not very useful for ground-level cultivators, judging from the fact that the condensation process had become faster, this method seemed to have signs of improvement.
"Shall I give you another one?"
"If you can't keep the secret, sooner or later Sitian will be affected. "There is one more person who knows his secret, Jiang Feng has to repeatedly admonish, as for giving birth to one, although the elders in the door urge, Jiang Feng is really not in a hurry.
"Don't worry, I will leave him in Beijianmen, and when I come back in two years, it will be fine. ”
"That's fine. ”
Feeling the warmth of snuggling up again, Jiang Feng was very relieved in his heart, but also a little tired, seven or eight days in Luochuan grinding, but it took a lot of energy, the original plan to meditate in the cave for a few days also failed to happen, fortunately, tomorrow he will go south, to Hongshan, Punan two towns to inspect, he plans to go to Lizong alone, to find Cai Qiuzhen, if he can complete his custom magic weapons as soon as possible, he can go west as soon as possible, go straight to the Nangong family's Heshan Port.
But before that, I still need to find the reward for the Xuanhu heart, I don't know if there is a risk in this matter, although the "borrowing the shadow of the object" can divinate the location, but it can't divinate the good luck, if the apprentice Jiang Yunqi is here.
............
There seems to be no way back to Hokuriku in the short term.
On the hillside, Jiang Yunqi pulled a handful of hydrangea bowls all over the field, thinking of another person in his heart. Obviously, the meeting agreement between him and Wanqing has lost the possibility because of the barrier between the two continents.
A lingering figure appeared in front of him, and his heart couldn't help but beat faster, and his cheeks became hot, until he took a deep breath of turbid air and palpitated from the fierce poison contained in the spiritual energy escaping from the top of the mountain.
Only by becoming stronger can you go back to Hokuriku to help Master, and then protect the people you love.
But is that a feeling?
He didn't understand, the master couldn't teach him this thing, and he didn't understand it when asked, as for the maids around him, although the enthusiasm sometimes made him a little embarrassed, he didn't have any heartbeat.
Obviously, these two are different.
At this time, he suddenly heard a sound of breaking the sky in the distance, and when he looked again, four figures had already passed over his head and went straight to the north.
Is there anyone who is causing trouble?
He suspected that it was still the ghost of "Ming Xindu", since ten days ago, this monk who didn't know where he came from arrived in the "White Egret Star Continent", there was no peace here, because the strength reached the high level of the prefecture level should not be underestimated, and even Pu Yangjun personally visited to discuss a good way to deal with this person together.
I really can't settle down for a moment.
Even if you want to enjoy a moment of peace, you need to have enough strength. Thinking of this, Jiang Yunqi took off his sword and went straight to the back mountain, even if he could only observe the formation on the side, he still had to take his junior brother with him.
