"Thank you Daoyou for rescuing me!" the rescued middle-aged monk bowed to Lu Chen and said respectfully.

"Fellow Daoists don't need to be nervous, I saved you, not coveting your green jade beads. Lu Chen said with a smile.

"Let the Daoist friends laugh!" said the middle-aged monk embarrassedly.

"This Tianji Valley is blocked from the outside world, and there must be a lot of murder and treasure grabbing in it, and it is right for Daoists to be cautious. "Lu Chen's cultivation so far, he has seen too many things that he did not hesitate to risk his life for the sake of profit, so he didn't blame the look of vigilance in the eyes of the middle-aged monk.

"In Xia Ding Zhengqi, he is the great treasurer of the Treasure Pavilion in Xuantian City!" the middle-aged monk introduced himself.

"In Xia Lu Chen, you are from Black Dragon City!Ding Daoyou, you are the chief treasurer of a trading house, how could you come here to participate in the trial in Tianji Valley?" Lu Chen asked puzzled.

"It's hard to say, there are three big sects in Xuantian City, namely Tiangang Sect, Shenjian Sect and Taiyi Gate, with Tiangang Sect being the strongest, these three sects have been founding the mountain gate for more than 100,000 years, and have been controlling the commerce in Xuantian City, among which the Fang City in the east and south of the city is under the jurisdiction of Tiangang Sect, and the income of Fang City in the west and north of the city is owned by the Divine Sword Sect and Taiyi Gate. ”

"In the past, our trading houses and these three major sects got along well, but last year Tiangangzong suddenly asked all merchants in Fang City to pay a large amount of spirit stones, as a gift to their elders for the 2,000th birthday, forced by the other party's strength, we all honestly paid this fee, but I didn't expect that this year, Tiangangzong intensified, and directly increased the rent of the store tenfold, and threatened that the merchants who quit the rent will not only be fined and confiscated by Tiangangzong, but also will be wanted and hunted down by Tiangangzong. Ding Zhengqi sighed and said helplessly.

"Isn't this a powerful plunder?" Lu Chen said.

"This is not the worst, the Tiangang Sect and the other two sects seem to have reached some agreement, and the Divine Sword Sect and the Taiyi Sect have also announced a tenfold increase in rents in the Fang City under their jurisdiction. Ding Zhengqi continued.

"Then you firms should unite against these three major sects!" Lu Chen suggested.

"The commercial houses in the city were forced to have no choice but to form a temporary chamber of commerce to deal with it, but within two days, the commercial houses leading the chamber of commerce were bloodied by the Tiangang Sect, and all the monks were killed on the spot. Moreover, the three major sects closely monitored the whereabouts of us merchant monks to prevent us from escaping. Ding Zhengqi said.

"What did Daoyou escape from?" Lu Chen asked curiously.

"I didn't escape, my family and heirs are all in Xuantian City, Tiangang Sect is not afraid of me running away, I heard that there are countless heavenly and earthly treasures in the trial land of Tianji Valley, so I want to come and give it a try, and if I can get the green jade beads and transfer them to those who need them, I will definitely be able to sell them for a good price, then I don't have to worry about the sky-high rent of my shop." Ding Zhengqi replied.

"Didn't that man and woman say that you got a green jade pearl?" Lu Chen asked.

"At that time, I found a green jade bead, but this thing seemed to be psychic, and it was not caught by me, but took the initiative to fly towards a masked woman behind me, and was obtained by the fairy. Ding Zhengqi said regretfully.

"Can Ding Daoyou describe to me what that masked woman looks like?" Lu Chen suddenly asked in an anxious tone.

"That fairy has a white veil on her face, I haven't seen her true appearance, but she is not a high cultivator, she is a Jindan early monk, and she is very young, according to my observation, she should be around twenty-six or seventeen years old. Ding Zhengqi said.

According to Ding Zhengqi's description, the masked female cultivator should be Lin Xi, and hearing that she was safe and sound and got a green jade pearl, most of the worries in Lu Chen's heart disappeared.

"Ding Daoyou, why don't we go through this trial land together?" Lu Chen proposed.

"It's better to be respectful than to obey!" Lu Chen not only has the grace to save his life, but also has amazing strength, Ding Zhengqi gladly accepted Lu Chen's proposal.

During the period of trial between Lu Chen and Ding Zhengqi, Lu Chen deliberately realized it later, but did not let the other party find out, and gave most of those who discovered the treasures of heaven and earth in advance to Ding Zhengqi, and when the two of them finally distributed the items, Lu Chen insisted on letting Ding Zhengqi share more, firstly, it would not make people feel that this was a charity, and secondly, it could solve Ding Zhengqi's practical difficulties.

Two extremely strange things happened in the entire trial land, one was that all the green jade beads were obtained by a female cultivator covered with a white veil. The second is that the other monks who tried to snatch the green jade bead from this woman's hand were all wiped out by a mysterious force without exception, and in the end, all the monks who saw this woman walked around, for fear that one would accidentally annoy this mysterious existence.

Three months passed in a flash, and all the monks were automatically teleported to the open square outside the Heavenly Machine Valley.

Lu Chen's divine sense swept away, and he did not find Lin Xi's figure among these monks, and when he looked up, Lu Chen found that the Ziwei fairy was staring at him with an extremely hostile gaze, and then the woman took out a red silk-like magic weapon from the storage bag, and galloped towards Xuantian City with the red light.
