Chapter 652: Senior Brother Yan
Barbarian caravans vary in size, with large caravans numbering up to several hundred people, and there will even be barbarian king-level masters accompanying the escorts. Although theoretically speaking, the master of the Barbarian King level should be at the same level as the Jindan Ancestor. However, the Jindan Ancestor did not rely on his own spiritual power to fight with people, but also relied more on his ever-changing Dao method and powerful magic weapon.
Moreover, once the Terran monk achieves the golden pill, it is the existence that Wan Xiu admires and can start a sect, and he will never surrender his identity to do such drudgery as a businessman.
The smallest of those small caravans was about forty or fifty people, and most of the goods they transported for resale were local specialties and were not very valuable. The monk masters escorted by the team are generally equipped with three to five monks in the middle and late stages of foundation building, and these monks walk in the wilderness all year round, and their combat power is comparable to that of the inner disciples of the seven major sects.
In the name of these caravans, there is generally a "number", called a certain number, in a sense, Yicheng is the largest merchant organization in the world.
The caravan that Bailipu received today was named Chengyuan, and according to the news brought before, the number was around seventy. The meals of the foundation building monks did not need to be paved for hundreds of miles, as long as they carefully prepared the meals of the sixteen qi refining cultivators.
Chengyuan can be regarded as a patron of Bailipu, and this small caravan is mainly used to transport materials and treasures back and forth between Western Xinjiang and the Imperial City. Before Chengyuan entered the city a few days ago, he had also stayed here for two nights, and the white shopkeeper remembered that the number of people at that time was less than sixty, except for a few foundation building masters, the number of qi refining cultivators in the number was about ten.
This time, Chengyuan reported the number of seventy, most of which were brought by some poor monks who went out to practice. Those small monks who live in the big city, after the disciples open their pulses, after a period of cultivation, they also have to go out to practice. Unlike the disciples of the Seven Sects, the young monks of these small families did not have the opportunity to test the sect, so they could only find their own ways to create opportunities.
With their ability, if they go to the wilderness, I am afraid that if they haven't seen the demon beasts, they will be killed by those ferocious wild cultivators. For safety reasons, most of the Qi refining disciples of these small families went out to practice in groups with caravans. Before going out, the family handed over a spirit stone to the caravan, and asked the caravan to take care of it all the way, so as not to hurt the children's lives.
Unless the treasures of the house transported by the caravan are particularly valuable, and the gangsters are afraid of taking the opportunity to blend into the team, under normal circumstances, the caravan is also happy to get a lot of free labor.
Hearing a noisy sound outside the door, the white shopkeeper personally greeted him out of the store, and the head of Cheng Yuan was a middle-aged man in the late stage of Qi refining, with a strong figure like a cow, and his face was full of wind and frost color, and everyone else called him the third child.
The white shopkeeper is also a cultivator in the Qi refining period, and when he is far away, he will bow his hand to Cheng Lao San again and again, and shout "Third Brother" affectionately in his mouth.
Cheng Laosan's face was full of red light, and it was estimated that he had spent a very nourishing time in Linyuan in the past few days, and after a few words of greeting with the white shopkeeper, he beckoned the qi refining cultivators behind him to enter the courtyard.
The white shopkeeper stood at the door with a warm face, smiling and greeting the monks one by one, among which there were indeed a few faces, which had never been seen before.
Cheng Laosan was familiar with the road, and went straight to the backyard room where he lived every time, and halfway through, he suddenly remembered something, turned his head and said to the white shopkeeper: "I remember that you have the cleanest west backyard here, right? Wait, open a room for Senior Brother Yan in the west backyard, Senior Brother Yan is quiet, don't arrange for others to live there." ”
The white shopkeeper even said that there was no problem, and looked in the direction indicated by Cheng Laosan, and saw that the senior brother Yan he said was a middle-aged monk with a sallow face, looking sick and sick, and seemed to have injuries on his body.
The white shopkeeper is a little strange, based on his induction, this Senior Brother Yan is also a cultivator in the middle stage of qi refining, but looking at the qi posture revealed in his eyebrows and eyes, there is a faint coercion, and he seems to be a figure who has been in a high position for a long time.
Senior Brother Yan walked at the end of a kind of Qi Refining Cultivator, and when he heard this, he waved his hand and said, "Don't be so troublesome, I can live wherever I want." ”
Cheng Laosan smiled and said: "It's a long way to go to Huangcheng Mountain, and after this store, you can only sleep in the wilderness, and Senior Brother Yan can't do it if you want to trouble people." Senior Brother Yan has a good night's rest, and he will be on the road tomorrow morning. ”
Senior Brother Yan nodded, stopped talking, and was personally led by the white shopkeeper to the west backyard. This is a house prepared by Bailipu for the foundation monks, although very few foundation monks will actually stay here, but it must be cleaned every day to prepare for emergencies. Of course, the price of a night in the west backyard is more than double the price of a single room in the backyard.
Although it was only a few short sentences, the white shopkeeper heard the sound of the third child from Cheng Laosan's words. Although he said that the senior brother was kind, in fact, he was hinting that the white shopkeeper, surnamed Yan, was just a master who accompanied the way, and arranged the fat sheep to the west backyard by taking advantage of the reason that he liked to be quiet, and he could collect an extra amount of spirit stones.
The shopkeeper Bai was grateful to Cheng Laosan for taking care of his business, and his attitude towards Senior Brother Yan was even more cordial and thoughtful, while introducing the signature dishes in the store, and saying that if Senior Brother Yan wanted to eat the dishes of famous restaurants such as Juxiangzhai, he could also call the guys to go out and buy them and send them to the house to enjoy.
Senior Brother Yan waved his hand lightly and said, "My generation of monks, the avenue is the first, coarse tea and light rice are enough, why bother to covet these appetites?"
The white shopkeeper even said that he had been taught, and asked with a smile: "This year's crystal jujube has just been off the market, do you want to taste it fresh?" This is a special spiritual fruit of Linyuan. ”
Senior Brother Yan said with a smile: "This crystal jujube is a good fruit, I have eaten a lot of it in the city." Once I went to the imperial city, I don't know how many hundred years it would take to taste this taste again. Take some. ”
The white shopkeeper turned around and muttered in his heart: This person's heart is high, and the monk in the Qi refining period dares to think about what will happen in a few hundred years?
As soon as he left the house, Senior Brother Yan inside instructed him to call his men to burn a jar of abyss water, saying that he wanted to bathe.
The white shopkeeper pouted, this Senior Brother Yan was dignified, but the pomp was not small at all, no wonder Cheng Laosan would specially arrange him to the west backyard. The distance between this place and Linyuan is a hundred miles, and a tank of earth abyss water will also sell a low-level spirit stone in Linyuan City, and when it is transported to the store, the price will be more than doubled. The white shopkeeper prides himself on being a little wealthy, and he only brews spiritual tea with abyssal water on weekdays, and he is reluctant to use a vat of abyssal water to take a bath. Could this Senior Brother Yan be a kid from a rich family who sneaked out? Seeing that he is not young, he doesn't look like a stunned young man with a demeanor?
