"I'm sorry, I can't afford it. ”

Regarding Chu Yiming's 'provocation', Jiang Feng could only respond with a self-deprecating wry smile. There is no doubt that there are huge benefits in this hidden smuggling route.

Judging from the "magic weapon with a machine spirit" in the suspected contraband, this smuggling chain is taking a high-end route, targeting high-level cultivators with a lot of spirit stones, if they can get involved in it, they may be able to easily solve the problem of the Qianshan Sect, and even Jiang Feng's own cultivation resources.

But Jiang Feng knew in his heart that his current cultivation was not qualified to get involved.

An organization that can secretly murder a monk Chu Anlan above the middle level of the prefecture level has the energy behind it that should not be underestimated. You must know that Chu Anlan is not an ordinary casual cultivator, but is responsible for managing all the spiritual lands of the Li Sect, and the Li Sect is the leading demon clan sect in the Northern Continent. Moreover, after Chu Anlan died in the ruins, they were actually able to appease those forces who wanted to continue the investigation and resolve all these doubts, which shows that behind this organization, there must be an existence in a high position in the Li Sect.

On the other hand, during the trip to Snow Island, Yin Du, a little man who peddled magic weapons, although his cultivation was not high, but according to various signs of contact with him, the person hidden behind him may have a secret connection with one of the nine old men, at least a member outside the first nine.

From these two points, it is speculated that if you want to enter the game, you must at least reach the strength of the pseudo-heaven level, which is different from Chu Yiming, whose cultivation is only at the Xuan level, and Chu Yiming's identity as the manager of the spiritual land determines that he can provide the necessary conditions for the spiritual land. Although the grade of the second-order spiritual land is not high, the other party may be able to use a high-level spirit gathering array to build a higher-level teleportation array by damaging the origin of the spiritual land, which is used to support this smuggling route.

"If it weren't for the identity of the Chu family, they wouldn't have chosen me. ”

Chu Yiming seemed to understand what Jiang Feng was thinking, in fact, he had already suspected that he was in danger, he knew in his heart that that expensive spirit stone was not obtained for nothing, there was no doubt that once the matter was revealed, he would definitely be thrown out as a scapegoat. He had no power to resist this.

Improving their strength was the only way, and the two quickly reached a consensus on the matter.

"Anyway, your spirit stone has not been spent, I need a spirit stone to build a small spirit array for the Qianshan Sect. ”

"How much?"

"Sixty third-order. ”

"Hey, it's not a small number. Chu Yiming smacked his tongue, and although he said this, he still took out sixty third-order pieces very happily and handed them to Jiang Feng, "This number is enough?"

"I borrowed 60 from other friends. Jiang Feng put away the spirit stone and did not reveal that he was really helping Xiao Ming of the Xiao family, "I will return you as soon as possible." ”

"The Little Spirit Array can't get back to its roots so quickly. Don't worry, I guess I'll have a second spirit stone profit in my account soon, so you don't have to worry about it. Do you need me to introduce you to the monks who built the Little Spirit Array?"

"If there is, it's excellent. Jiang Feng didn't intend to be polite to Chu Yiming, in fact, there was no need between the two. Just like returning Chu Anlan's body, Chu Yiming did not pretend to be with himself.

"Shangguan's family is good. ”

Chu Yiming said calmly, "On September 26, I am going to marry Shangguan Xiuqi, so I have been in contact with each other recently. The Shangguan family can be regarded as the best refining family in Zhenwu City, and they are also proficient in formations. It's just that they don't charge a lot, and I think if I introduce you, maybe they'll sell me a thin noodle. ”

"Shangguan Xiuqi there, I didn't help you much, I'm ashamed!" Originally, Chu Yiming wanted to help him contact Shangguan Xiuqi, but Jiang Feng has not been able to get it done, and in the end, it was an external force that contributed to this matter, and Jiang Feng has always been worried about it.

"Each has its own strengths, and besides, I didn't do it myself. Chu Yiming waved his hand and signaled Jiang Feng not to care, "The matter of Dongbo City is not something you can easily find out, I, the management of the spiritual land, have tried a lot of ways but have not been able to penetrate half a foot into the spiritual land, which is really ashamed." ”

He then hurriedly wrote a letter and called the housekeeper Huang Dong, "Take Master Jiang to Shangguan's house, I have something to ask Shangguan's family to help me solve it, and send two desserts over at the same time, which is the kind she secretly praised last time." ”

"You still planted eyeliner?" Jiang Feng heard some extraneous voices.

"It's all for the sake of harmony. ”

This time it was Chu Yiming's turn to smile bitterly, "Before reaching the ground level, you have to bow your head and be a man, fortunately, this problem can be solved with spirit stones, otherwise, I really don't know how to deal with it, you go and go back quickly, tonight's dinner, I will introduce a few family and friends to you, even if I am not in Zhenwu City, you can ask them for help." ”

............

Zhenwu City, the inner house of the Xiao family, Xiao Mingbao has just woken up.

The blurred scene gradually became clearer, and he could see clearly the warm and kind faces of the family members, servants, and medicine men who had gathered around. At the same time, he also felt the familiar agility in his body, although it was much weaker than before, it did exist, and nourished the long-drought meridians and heart.

I became a monk again, a spiritual monk.

All kinds of past events instantly appeared in front of him, from entering the mysterious cold cave inexplicably, to falling for unknown reasons, to the disappointed departure of doctors in various costumes, to giving up on himself and secretly spitting out the pills, the low sobs in the long night still ringing in his ears, and the brocade quilt full of choking smell was still on his side, within reach, he couldn't help but be in a trance again.

"Young Master!"

The voice was full of concern, and he couldn't help but widen his eyes and look at the familiar round face, yes, there was someone who had never given up on himself, and that was the only maid who had never been in the shadows, and secretly complained about how hard it was to take care of a wasted person, she was not beautiful, but she was kind.

Xiao Mingbao smiled, looked at her with a smile, and also saw a group of faces that were also full of smiles.

"In the past two years, you have worked hard. Xiao Mingbao looked around, and was about to say something more, but saw the crowd disperse, and a familiar figure appeared in front of him.

"Auntie!"

"You don't have to get up, lie down and rest, your body is still weak. Chu Wenyin sat down in front of the couch, grabbed Xiao Mingbao's thin arm with a warm and slightly plump hand, and felt it carefully for a moment, "I brought you some pills, you can rest for three days, you can take them in order, recover the law as soon as possible, and improve your cultivation." ”

"Hmm. For her aunt Chu Wenyin, Xiao Mingbao has always treated her like her own mother, and naturally she obeys her.

"Did Mingzhen bring you back? She found someone to heal you?"

"Yes!"

Xiao Mingbao naturally remembered who took him back to his house, and also remembered who channeled a mysterious black qi out of his body, but he had made a soul oath before that he would not say these details, and all the words had to be fulfilled by Xiao Mingzhen.

............

With the letter provided by Chu Yiming, Jiang Feng entered the gatehouse of Shangguan's house as he wished, and waited for Shangguan Xiuqi's mother to meet, Shangguan's family pays attention to some etiquette and religious rules, and before getting married, he can't go out of the cabinet to meet people for three months, so Jiang Feng can't see Shangguan Xiuqi, and he follows the customs, and Jiang Feng has no way to do this.

"You're Yi Ming's friend, right?" Shangguan Xiuqi's mother was late, and when she saw Jiang Feng, she looked at him carefully, and found that he was a Xuan-level cultivator, and his enthusiastic attitude dropped a lot.

"Exactly, Jiang Feng, the head of the Lower Shallow Mountain Sect. ”

"Oh?" her eyes flashed again, "disrespectful, disrespectful." What Master Jiang asked, we could have done it originally, but it was a coincidence, I'm very sorry, the monks who we were able to build a small spirit array have now been requisitioned to Lizhou City, and the sect has just obtained it from the Imperial Wind Sect, and it needs a lot of help to modify all kinds of formations in the city. ”

"Then I wonder when I'll be free?"

"I can't talk about that. The task of the sect is like that, our small family, it is neither easy to refuse, nor easy to ask too much. With such vague words, Jiang Feng already knew in his heart that this was a disguised refusal, it seemed that Chu Yiming's thin face was not so easy to say before the wedding.

"Well, that's a lot of bothering. Although he was rejected, Jiang Feng still maintained a warm smile, what is the use of turning his face, he is begging for help, maybe one day he will have to ask for help, the refining family is not afraid of offending people at all, this can be seen from Cai Qiuzhen's straightforward and unscrupulous temperament.

and the steward Huang Dong carefully said goodbye, and the two were about to go out, but a middle-aged monk with broad shoulders and a frosty face came in.

Because they didn't know each other, the two of them carefully turned sideways and got out of the way, but they heard the steward who sent the two out whisper: "Lord of the family, you are back." ”

"Hmm!" the man just let out of his nostrils, and when he saw two strangers, he turned his head to look, and he seemed to recognize Huang Dong.

"Yi Ming, that kid has been doing well lately, can his cultivation make progress?"

"Back to my predecessors, I have recently improved slightly, and I am refining the longsword you have reformed. ”

"Don't waste it, waste wood can't be the son-in-law of our Shangguan family. ”

"Yes, yes, yes. Huang Dong nodded again and again, he was not even a monk, he could naturally feel the coercion projected by the other party, but he seemed to be used to it, he smiled carefully, and quietly waited for the other party to instruct him before leaving on his own.

Jiang Feng couldn't help but glance at it with his spare eyes, but this glance made his heart stir up turbulent waves, and he couldn't help but hold his breath, this monk with a slightly straight face and gray hair was very thick, wasn't it the person he saw in the depths of the spiritual land of Dongbo City through divination?

Why is it him? On his hands, he is wearing two jade-colored wrenches, which are in line with the image of the time.

"Who is this?" The person who was called the head of the family noticed that Huang Dong was coming with a strange Xuan-level monk, not an ordinary servant, and also noticed the other party's peeping gaze.

"In Xia Jiang Feng, the head of the Asa Mountain Sect, is a friend of Chu Yiming. I don't know what to call my seniors?"

"It turned out to be the head of Jiang, a rare guest. In Xiashangguan Bashuang, he is the head of the Shangguan family, and you call me Shangguan Daoyou. What, what advice do you have here?"

"I heard Chu Yiming say that the small spirit array built by the Shangguan family is delicate and stable, so I came to your mansion to bother, and I want to ask the people of your family to help the Qianshan Sect build a few small spirit arrays, of course, our Qianshan Sect is poor and weak, if it can be cheaper, it will be better. ”

"It's a trivial matter, just let Shangguan Boliang go. He turned around and instructed the black-shirted butler who sent Jiang Feng and Huang Dong out, "As for the commission, it should be ninety percent of the market price." Just say that I said it, and let him go and relax. ”

"Yes!"

The black-shirted butler dealt with it carefully, waited for Shangguan Bashuang to leave, and then took Jiang Feng and Huang Dong to the outside of the mansion, "Steward Huang, Master Jiang, it stands to reason that the orders of the head of the family must be carried out, however, you also understand that Lord Boliang has suffered some emotional injuries in the past few years, so his mood is not very stable, whether to go to the Asshan Sect to help, I have to ask again, you wait here for me for a while." ”

The housekeeper went for a while, and then quickly turned around and shook his head, "I'm very sorry, Lord Boliang doesn't want to go to the Asayama Sect to help for the time being, so please go back." ”

"Slow!" Jiang Feng thought for a while, found a small note, wrote two words, and then handed it to the black-shirted butler, "I'm sorry for you to give this to Lord Boliang, maybe there will be a turnaround." ”

"This ......" the black-shirted butler hesitated.

"Old Sun, do me a favor. Huang Dong was familiar with the black-shirted butler, and helped Jiang Feng persuade him again.

"Okay. The black-shirted butler didn't believe that a note could make much of a difference, but since Huang Dong begged for words, he still hurried into the house, and soon, he came back with a puzzled face.

"Lord Hakura, please come in. ”

Oh, Jiang Feng's heart is really like this, the depression in Shangguan Bo's conscience is nothing more than the woman named "Wanqing", in Huang Dong's puzzled gaze, he once again entered the house with the black-shirted steward, turned around, entered a small courtyard, and saw a middle-aged man with a disheveled hair and unkempt appearance.

"Do you know where she is?" the man asked impatiently as soon as he saw Jiang Feng.

"I've seen her in Chixiamen, but I can't find her right now. ”

"Chixiamen?" a hint of doubt flashed in the man's eyes, "Are you sure?"

"Naturally, if you have her belongings, maybe I can help you find her whereabouts. ”

"How about this?" Shangguan Boliang took out a lotus magic weapon, which was the one that Jiang Feng had traded with Shangguan Xiuqi before.

"This won't work. "Items that have been divined cannot be used for divination again, this is one of the limitations of the "borrowing and turning into shadows" skill, "Do you have any other things, you can carry a magic weapon for a long time, if it is a mundane item, you need to wear it recently." For the latter, Jiang Feng was hopeless, after all, as far as he knew, after Shangguan Boliang, Wanqing had also crossed paths with Ye Mo's kid, presumably she had already broken off contact with Shangguan Boliang.

"Nope. ”

Sure enough, as Jiang Feng expected, Shangguan Boliang couldn't take out the divination items that met the standards, his eyes immediately dimmed a lot, and the little heat that ignited was about to be extinguished.

"I can use the power of the Assayama Sect to help you find it. ”

"The Assana Sect?" Shangguan Boliang didn't seem to have much confidence in a small sect like the Assanyama Sect.

"At least it's better than nothing, it's better than you sitting here and waiting, presumably there is no one in the family to support you or help you find someone, right?"

I don't know if the previous sentence moved Shangguan Boliang, or the latter sentence made him quite agree, he pondered for a moment, "You want to build a small spirit vein?"

"Yes, our Shallow Mountain Sect plans to build four mid-grade small spirit veins, as well as ten low-grade small spirit veins. They are located in different counties of the Asama sect, and we hope you can help. ”

"Okay, as the head of the house said, I'll go to your place to relax, the cost will be calculated at a nine-percent discount, if during the construction period, you can help me find the whereabouts of Wanqing, the salary can be saved. ”

"Okay, that's a deal. "The stone in Jiang Feng's heart finally landed, with the other party's promise, one hundred and twenty-seven third-order is enough to get these small spirit veins, if the whereabouts of Wanqing can really be found, then one hundred third-order can complete the entire plan, it seems that it is time to mobilize the power of the whole sect to find this Wanqing.

This is a sect mission that can save thirty third-order coins!

After discussing with Shangguan Boliang the date of the other party's trip to the Qianshan Sect and the person who would connect with the Qianshan Sect, Jiang Feng and Huang Dong drove back to the Chu Mansion, and Chu Yiming set up a dinner, which was a good opportunity for him to further familiarize himself with the Chu family, presumably Chu Wenyin would also be present. The matter of getting rid of the little spirit vein made Jiang Feng's heart very refreshed, if the heart could finalize the matter of Mengjiao at the same time, then today can be regarded as a good thing.

As soon as he returned to the temporary residence where Chu Yiming had arranged for him to rest, a person came to visit, it was Chu Wenyin.
