469, 470 Purple Sword Palace Conference/Ancient Warship

The young monk seemed to see that Ye Qin's resignation was a silent refusal, and he had no idea of changing the court and joining the Holy Palace.

"With your spiritual root potential, with the cultivation progress of the 'Sitting and Forgetting Sutra', there is no problem in cultivating to the ninth order of the Jindan within a hundred years. There are hundreds of years left, and there is enough time to prepare for the Great Heavenly Tribulation, and there is a great hope of becoming a Yuanying Monk. Once you succeed, coupled with the power of the Great Five Elements Sword Formation, the Little Three Strange Sword Formation, and the Eight Gang Sword Formations of the Purple Sword Palace's "Purple Sword Technique", it may not be impossible for you to become famous in the East China Sea Immortal Cultivation Realm in the future. The young monk muttered, "You are not willing to serve the emperor now, and the emperor is reluctant." His eyes were shining, revealing a bit of deep thought.

"The East China Sea Immortal Cultivation Realm is far more complicated than you think, and there is no way out by fighting alone. In the world of cultivating immortals, there are many ancient secrets, and there are so many vast regions that you don't know. Do you know where is the easternmost part of the East China Sea in these thousands of miles? Do you know what is the place beyond the East China Sea, the distant West Sea, the ethereal North Sea? When you become a Yuan Infant Monk, you will be very interested in this. When you go back, think about it. In the world of cultivating immortals, everything is respected by strength. In the future, if you have the strength to cooperate with this emperor, this Xuan will never let you suffer!"

Ye Qin didn't know anything about this, so he could only sink in. After thinking for a while, he asked, "Senior Holy Emperor, the junior has always had a doubt in his heart, and he is puzzled! I don't know if I can tell him." "Say!" "Back then, when you were in the underground palace of the Middle-earth Continent, did you break through the peak of the late Yuan Infant Stage, and entered Ye Chun asked cautiously. Being imprisoned in the underground palace by other monks is a very humiliating thing.

"Haha, it's no secret. The emperor reached the peak of the late Yuan Infant period, and spent the Nine Heavens Thunder Tribulation in the underground palace, and indeed stepped into a higher realm of transforming gods. It's just that staying in this realm is extremely short. "After the Great Tribulation of the Emperor, before he had time to recover his vitality, he was attacked by several hateful old thieves of the Heavenly Dao Alliance and the Heavenly Demon Alliance, and fell back to the late Yuan Infant stage. However, although the emperor's cultivation fell back to the late Yuan Infant period, the emperor's longevity was still against the fate of the sky and doubled. Hmph, the suzerain and giants who were enemies of the emperor in the past have either buried the loess long ago or lost their traces, but the emperor is still alive. ”

The young monk played with the cup in his hand.

In the box, Ye Qin, Shi Hanyang, and more than a dozen other Jindan monks all looked at the Holy Emperor's clone with reverence. The realm of the Yuan Infant Stage is already unattainable for them, and it is as difficult as climbing to the sky.

And the realm of the gods, which is higher than the Yuan infant stage, is the existence of the high mountain. At least in the realm of cultivating immortals in the East China Sea, it belongs to the realm that only exists in legends. They are unimaginable.

"The Emperor got a message not long ago. There is an abdication giant of the Heavenly Demon Alliance, that is, the former sworn enemy of the emperor, who seems to have haunted the sea of blood and left traces. The emperor's deity has personally gone to the Sea of Blood to track down its whereabouts, to see if it is dead or alive, and if it can find more clues. This enmity of not sharing the heavens, the emperor will not let go so easily. The young monk muttered to himself, a fierce glint flashing in his eyes. In an instant, a huge spiritual pressure was released, and all the Jindan monks in the box were sweating, Ye Chun was secretly shocked in his heart, the Holy Emperor himself went to the Sea of Blood?!

In this way, the Holy Emperor himself also got out of trouble from the Middle Earth Palace and came to the East China Sea. The Holy Emperor himself, that is the cultivation of the peak of the ninth order of the Yuan Infant. I don't know how many times more powerful than this lotus clone in the middle of the primordial infant.

Ye Qin didn't stay in the No. 1 luxury box for a long time, chatting for a while, and then *-Guo. Brute go.

The grudge between the Holy Emperor and the Sect Master of the Heavenly Dao Alliance and the giants of the Heavenly Demon Alliance, he is not! Go. Otherwise, if one is not careful, he, a middle-level Jindan monk, will only have the life of cannon fodder among a group of Yuansuo, Erzhuan, and monks.

He sat like pins and needles in the No. 1 box, and he didn't want to stay for a moment. Back in the ninth box, Ye Qin and the other monks were planning to continue to watch the next auction, what spiritual treasures would be available.

A Jindan monk from the Purple Sword Palace, but at this time, he hurriedly came to the outside of the No. 9 box and reported in a low voice, "Elder Ye, Elder Taishang, the palace master ordered his subordinates to bring a letter! Let you go back to the palace quickly and discuss important matters!" Ye Qin was surprised, and he didn't ask what was the matter. If it was really an important matter, it would be impossible for ordinary Jindan monks to know.

He didn't wait for the auction of the Heavenly Dao Pavilion to continue, so he said goodbye to Grandmaster Sun and Steward Jiang, and left the Heavenly Dao Pavilion with Huangfu Bing'er, as well as Bai Xiu'er, Yan Xuan, Shen Bao, and others. Huangfu Bing'er and the others went directly to Qingdanfang. Ye Qin went to the Purple Sword Palace alone. Purple Sword Palace. The monks inside and outside the palace did everything as usual, and there was nothing out of the ordinary. Ye Qin quickly entered the main hall of the Purple Sword Palace and opened an underground passage. He found that the atmosphere here was tense.

The guards of the late Jindan of the Purple Sword Palace, which are rarely seen, have been densely packed with checkpoints to prevent any monks from approaching the main hall.

Ye Chun wondered in his heart, and came to a closed retreat cultivation room hundreds of zhang deep in the underground passage. It is only when something really important happens, that the palace master and the elders will meet in this safest place.

Inside, the palace master Zhou Yu and the Supreme Elder Zhou Hong, the rest of the elders Zhou Shen, Zhou Rui, Zhou Rong, these five Yuan Infant Ancestors, were already in this secret room, each sitting on a piece of Tuanpu. They have always been cultivating in the palace and rarely go out, so they came earlier than Ye Qin. Together with Ye Qin, who had just arrived, the six high-level cultivators of the Purple Sword Palace were all here. "Elder Ye, you're here!Sit, I'll be waiting for you!" Palace Master Zhou smiled lightly. "Palace Master, elders!" Ye Cchun bowed, sat down on a piece of dough in the simple retreat room, and wondered, "What happened?"

"I've all arrived at the top of the Purple Sword Palace, and now I'm going to talk about something important. Hongu has just received some important news. A sect master-level meeting was held among the five sect masters of the Heavenly Dao Alliance, discussing the issue of the Northern Sect Master. ”

The Zhou Palace Lord said slowly, "The current Northern Sect Master, Sect Master Yu, revealed that his own lifespan is only thirty years left. In other words, at the end of each other's ten years of life, he will abdicate!" "A few days ago, there were a total of four immortal palaces, and they had already submitted a request to the Heavenly Dao Alliance to compete for the position of the Northern Sect Master of the Heavenly Dao Alliance. Including my Purple Sword Palace, Shangtang Palace, Wanluo Palace, and Wuxier Palace. "However, the candidates of the Four Great Immortal Palaces are relatively close in strength and prestige, and no one from all sides is convinced.

Therefore, the five sect masters of the Heavenly Dao Alliance, after negotiation, made a decision. Each immortal palace sent troops to the sea of blood, and decided the ownership of the northern suzerain with the size of the meritorious service. To put it bluntly, that immortal palace has many heads of demon clan monks cut off, and the palace master of that immortal palace will take over the position of the northern sect master. Even if it is not the Four Great Immortal Palaces, as long as the conditions are met, they can take over the position of the sect master. "Supreme Elder Zhou Hong and the others seem to have known about this news for a long time, so they don't seem shocked.

Ye Qin was shocked, and said in a lost voice, "That's a ten-level demon beast, turned into a human form, and only then can he be called a demon monk." Every demon clan monk is extremely difficult to deal with. If you want to kill a large number of demon clan monks, wouldn't this lead to a fairy and demon war?" "Yes, the meaning of the five sect masters of the Heavenly Dao Alliance is that they really want to take the initiative to start the fairy and demon war, march to the blood purification, and prepare to raise troops to destroy the demon clan. ”

Zhou Gong said, "This is related to the overall situation of the current immortal cultivation world. Our East China Sea monks are getting bigger and bigger, and our territory is constantly expanding eastward, and we are already approaching the blood-colored paint. There are many monks, but the spiritual island of cultivation is a little insufficient. If you want to get more spirit birds, you must go east and occupy the Sea of Blood. "The battle of immortals and demons, it is naturally easy to say if you win, but what if this battle fails?" Ye Qin suppressed the shock in his heart and asked, "Defeat ?..." "These superfluous large number of monks will be buried in the sea of blood. It can also greatly alleviate the pressure on the supply of spirit stones, at least there will be no internal turmoil due to the lack of spirit stones. Elder Taishang Zhou Hong said indifferently.

"This is no longer just a matter of the Heavenly Dao Alliance, but also a matter of the Heavenly Demon Alliance, and it is not something that a certain monk can decide. The five giants of the Net's Heavenly Demon Alliance also held a giant conference and agreed to this decision. In other words, this will be a full-scale attack on the demon clan by pouring the entire East China Sea Immortal Cultivation Realm into the Demon Clan to occupy the Scarlet Sea. ”

Palace Lord Zhou shook his head and said helplessly. "This battle is inevitable. We can only obey this decision of the Five Great Masters and the Big Five. This is a top secret, and only monks above the Immortal Palace Elder are allowed to know about it, and it cannot be disclosed. ”

"In addition, Shangtang, Wanluo, Bird Nuer and other immortal palaces have decided to send a group of Jindan monks to enter the Sea of Blood in advance. I can't lag behind in the Purple Sword Immortal Palace. Speaking of which, I have a Kui Niu drum in my hand in the Sword Palace, and when I use it at the most critical time, it can have an unexpected effect, and even reverse the situation, which can be regarded as taking advantage. ”

"There's another piece of news, it's about the Holy Emperor. Upon hearing news from Middle-earth, the Holy Emperor had left the Underground Holy Emperor's Palace and recruited a group of capable generals. The Holy Emperor's men have appeared in the East China Sea. Everyone smells and changes color. Palace Lord Zhou continued. "If this news is true, I'm afraid the East China Sea will change dramatically. As soon as the chaos came, the giants of the hidden world came out. ”

Supreme Elder Zhou Hong sighed, "However, the Holy Emperor doesn't dare to be an enemy of the entire East China Sea Immortal Cultivation Realm. Otherwise, you can kill him once a thousand years ago, and a second time after a thousand years. "Forget it, don't mention it. Anyway, my Purple Sword Palace, and the Holy Banquet don't have any entanglements.

The palace lord of Zhou said with a smile, "This palace has decided to send a group of Jindan monks to enter the Sea of Blood on a large scale in the early stage in the name of experience and establish some power strongholds. From now on, the layout will lay the groundwork for the possible outbreak of the fairy and demon war in the future, as well as the competition for the northern sect leader of the Heavenly Dao Alliance.

"Elder Ye, in order to avoid arousing too much suspicion. The monks sent by my Purple Sword Palace in the early stage will all be Jindan monks. How about you take a large group of fifty Purple Sword Palace Jindan monks into the Sea of Blood?"

Ye Qin thought for a moment and said, "I have been in retreat for thirty years, and I need to go out to practice. I'll lead the way. But what is the mission for?"

"Simple. The main purpose is to collect all kinds of detailed information about the Scarlet Sea and draw a detailed map of the Scarlet Sea. The existing map of the Scarlet Sea in the Purple Sword Palace, this map, which is made every hundred years with a new map, is already very old. As for the matter of killing the demon clan monks, it is not your turn to make a move, naturally there is this palace, and the four elders will personally take action. The palace lord of Zhou said lightly, his expression resolute. Qingdanfang. When Ye Qin returned to Qingdanfang, it was already late at night. "Husband, the palace master and elders have summoned each other, what happened to you?

Huangfu Bing'er was a little anxious to wait, and as soon as she saw Ye Qin coming back, she immediately asked. She knew that without a major event, it would be impossible for all the high-level leaders of the Purple Sword Palace to gather, and the discussion was so late.

"The five sect masters of the Heavenly Dao Alliance, the five giants of the Heavenly Demon Alliance, have decided to march towards the Sea of Blood and strangle the demon clan cultivators. The 10,000-year-old fairy and demon war is estimated to break out. The palace master and the Supreme Elder, I hope I can lead the team and take a trip to the sea of blood. And, I've already agreed. ”

Ye Qin did not hide it. "I have been in retreat for 30 years, and I have to go through a lot of experience to impact the Yuan Baby. Otherwise, the experience is not enough, the mind is not strong, and it will be difficult to survive the catastrophe. It will never be able to become Yuanying Dao!" Huangfu Bing'er was a little shocked, and after a long time, he said, "If you want to go, let's go together!", um" Ye Qin looked at Bing'er's face and nodded seriously.

Bing'er's cultivation has always been not much worse than him. It's just that the Yuan Shen magic weapon is not strong enough, so it seems to be a little.

This experience is not in the safe sea of the East China Sea, but in the sea of blood, which is extremely dangerous. Even if he is a Yuanying monk, he may lose his life at any time.

I am afraid that this experience will be a hundred times more difficult and dangerous than any previous one. He wasn't much sure. However, it is impossible not to go. Only Wan Kui can be careful. "Even if you fall, you have to be together. A few days later.

A brigade, a total of thirty Jindan monks from the Purple Sword Palace, set off at dawn, without alarming any monks, and went directly to Linhai City. This brigade is all in the middle of Jindan and the late stage of the monks. Half a month of flight, arrived in Linhai City.

Waterfront City is a small city, but it is extremely busy. There are many large teleportation arrays here, which can directly penetrate into the hinterland of the Scarlet Sea, and the various strongholds are all bases that have been established by immortal cultivators in the depths of the Scarlet Sea for a long time.

Of course, such a group of Jindan middle and late stage cultivators of the Purple Sword Palace was too eye-catching, and it was not convenient for them to collect detailed information about the Scarlet Sea and draw a new map. They had to act in separate squads.

Ye Tai and Huangfu Bing'er, a team of two. The rest of the Purple Sword Palace's Jindan monks, a team of two or three monks, directly teleported to the various strongholds of the Scarlet Sea.

A brightening light covered the large teleportation array of Linhai City.

The high-grade spirit stones on the corners of the teleportation array, the spiritual power is rapidly depleting. As the dazzling white light reached its peak, Ye Qin, Huangfu Bing'er, and more than a dozen Jindan monks in the large teleportation array disappeared into the large teleportation array together. After the white light, Ye Qin opened his eyes.

He, Huangfu Bing'er, and the other ten Jindan monks who had teleported together, appeared in a large teleportation array in the open air. These people were not monks from the Purple Sword Palace, but monks from various other immortal palaces. "Ancient Warship!" Ye Qin flew dozens of feet in the air, took a quick look at the surrounding environment, and was obviously stunned. They were on the deck of a giant ancient warship. And this ancient warship ran aground on an inconspicuous island beach in the middle of the sea.

The hull of the ship is tilted, hundreds of zhang high, up to a thousand zhang, and the towering main and auxiliary masts are tilted to one side, and on the main and auxiliary masts are more than a dozen brown sails that are almost rotten and festering in the whistling sea wind.

Just by looking at the fresh moss and mottled rust on the hull of the ship, you can see the age of this warship.

On both sides of the hull, there are hundreds of large and small gun emplacements, and a hideous bronze ancient fort comes out with half of the cannon body exposed.

Ye Qin was taken aback when he saw these forts, he had seen this thing in the Holy Emperor's Palace underground, it turned out to be a heavy sky-bombing cannon! These hundreds of heavy sky-bombarding cannons fired in unison, even if the Yuanying Monk came, he couldn't parry it.

"It seems that this is the Scarlet Sea, the East China Sea Immortal Cultivator, the 'Ancient Warship Stronghold,' which is located in one of the hundreds of teleportation points in the Scarlet Sea. Huangfu Bing'er glanced at the vast and silent sea around her and said. Ye Qin nodded.

"It is said that this ancient warship is a giant supernatural artifact, which can sail on the sea, sneak on the bottom of the sea, and fly in the sky, and is equipped with heavy sky-bombing cannons around it, and can even bombard and kill demon monks. "During the last Immortal and Demon War, this kind of large warship was the car of the Ancestor of the Primordial Infant, but it was very majestic. "It's a pity that this warship has been abandoned for tens of thousands of years and is useless. ”

There are many Jindan monks like Ye Qin and Huangfu Bing'er who came here for the first time, and they couldn't help but be amazed when they saw the majestic posture of the ancient warship.

Several of the Jindan monks who teleported here with them were veterans who had been here before and were familiar with the environment here. They left the large teleportation array on the deck and flew straight to the middle of the ancient warship, an entrance to the cabin. Ye Tai and Huangfu Bing'er glanced at each other and quickly followed.

The situation after entering the cabin made Ye Qin and the others a little unexpected. The interior of the main cabin is extremely spacious, and the burial is quite perfect, and there is no sign of the dilapidation of the outside, and many monks come and go in it, which seems to be very lively. What's even more surprising is that the powerful spiritual pressure fluctuations faintly coming from various positions in the ship are actually quite a few Yuanying-level monks!

"This sea of blood is really extraordinary, just this stronghold, there are about a dozen babyless ancestors who are difficult to see elsewhere, no wonder you need to enter the middle stage of Jindan or above. Huangfu Bing'er also felt these amazing spiritual pressures, and couldn't help but sigh.

Ye Qin smiled when he heard this: "In the dangerous place of the Sea of Blood, there are many demon clan monks, and the demon clan monks who can transform into human form are at least ten ranks. If there weren't for the many ancestors sitting here, I'm afraid that this ancient ship stronghold would have been taken away long ago. ”

Ye Qin looked around as he spoke, and saw that on the entrances of several sub-cabins on the four walls of the main cabin, there were plaques of shops such as "Lingdan Pavilion" and "Refining Workshop". Coincidentally, in the lower right corner of the plaque, there is a blood-colored triangular emblem, and the pattern of the angry sea in the emblem is not at all different from the logo of the Heavenly Dao Alliance and the Heavenly Demon Alliance.

Just when Ye Qin was curious, a short and fat Jindan monk came up and said with a smile on his face: "It's the first time for the two of you to come to this Scarlet Sea? "There is a medium-grade spirit stone with a few tongues, this person is doing a good deal!" "I haven't traveled with Ye Qin for a long time, although I have entered this dangerous place, Huangfu Mu'er is also very happy in her heart, seeing this fat monk's face, she can't help but smile and transmit it to Ye Qindao.

A medium-grade spirit stone is not a large amount for Jindan Monk, and Ye Qin will naturally not be stingy, so he took out the spirit stone from the storage bag and handed it to Qian Daoren: "I'm tired Brother Qian." ”

Qian Daoren accepted the spirit stone, and the smile on his face was even stronger: "Presumably the two of you were curious about the blood-colored emblem just now, right? That is the logo of our Scarlet Business Alliance, this business alliance is a monk trade organization independent of the Heavenly Dao Alliance and the Heavenly Demon Alliance, and it does not control the Spirit Island, but only trades in this Scarlet Sea." This ancient warship is one of the Alliance's trading bases, and most of the monks who come and go to these bases to supply supplies or sell items harvested in the Blood Lacquer, no matter what you need, you can get something in the Alliance.

However, keep in mind that within this stronghold, it is strictly forbidden to fight, otherwise there will be Jindan late monk guards, and even the Yuan Infant Ancestor will take action. The owner of this ship is an ancestor in the middle of the Yuan Dynasty. ”

While he was talking, several Jindan monks came in at the entrance behind Ye Qin, and looking at their clothes, they turned out to be Shangtang Palace monks. After these people saw Ye Qin and the others who were talking sideways, they couldn't help but be stunned, faintly angry, and then a strange smile appeared on their faces.

"Hey, isn't this Junior Elder Ye of the Purple Sword Palace? It's rare, it's rare, Elder Ye has been shrinking for thirty years, and he actually came out and walked around in person today? Senior brothers, haven't you come to see Elder Ye yet!"

The enemies were very red when they saw each other, although Ye Qin did not regard the Shangtang Palace as hostile, but the monks of the Shangtang Palace did not have a grudge for three days or two days, not to mention that not long ago, Ye Qin was still at the auction of the Heavenly Dao Alliance, and he ruthlessly lost the face of the monks of the Shangtang Palace.

At this time, the five of them came in a team, and seeing that Ye Qin and the two were alone, and they were in a chaotic and dangerous place in the sea of blood, how could the Jindan late-stage monk who led the team in JL Tang Palace not be sarcastic at this moment?

All the monks of the Tang Palace laughed when they heard this, and they stared at Ye Qin and the others coldly while laughing. Looking at that appearance, if I didn't know that fighting was strictly forbidden in this stronghold, I'm afraid I would have to do it now

Huangfu Bing'er frowned, if these people talked about her, she could hear and not hear, but when she said her husband, the anger in her heart couldn't help but be a little uncontrollable. It's just that I just learned the rules of this place, and I don't care about the benefits of this tongue, so I can't help but feel a little depressed. Ye Qin felt Bing'er's emotions and gently shook her hand to show comfort. "I hope to see you abroad in the future, and I can still hear such 'good news' from you!"

Ye Qin also had to fight with these dying people to win or lose, so he lightly threw down a sentence and walked with Bing'er to the entrance of the auxiliary cabin called "Xianzhuzhai Zhai". "Hey, wait, I haven't finished introducing it yet!" Qian Daoren shouted, and he also trotted up to follow.

"Hey, that fat monk is here to make an introduction, and the fee is doubled!" Seeing this, a monk from the Upper Soup Palace hurriedly greeted him.

Unexpectedly, Qian Dao didn't reply and said: "Phew, master, I'm fat, grandpa I do all kinds of business, but I don't do this smelly person's business, go outside and wash the sea of blood and come back!"

The person who shouted didn't expect Qian Daoren to answer like this, and he couldn't help but turn blue with anger and tremble, but he was helpless. As long as this person does not leave the stronghold, even if he cultivates to the middle stage of Jindan, he is extremely stable, and he doesn't care about offending a few of them foreign monks.

Someone beside the monk who led the team in the Shangtang Palace asked unhappily, "Senior Brother Du Ran, why don't you provoke this surnamed Ye to go out and teach him a lesson?"

Du Ran sneered: "Stupid, what's the point of just teaching a lesson? The other party has the Purple and '1st Palace Elder Order, once the holder is dead and the news leaks, the Purple Sword Palace will definitely be furious."

If we are not absolutely sure of intercepting this elder order, it is inconvenient for us to do it ourselves, so as not to cause a dispute between the Immortal Palace and the Purple Sword Palace, and then the two sides will consume their strength and give Wanluo Palace the advantage of the position of the leader of the Northern Alliance. ”

"Then, can you just let him go? Our face in the Tang Palace is so lost? This surnamed Ye has a good temperament, and it will be thirty years to shrink to the Purple Sword Palace, a rare opportunity, Senior Brother!" The rest of the people were still a little indignant when they heard this, and they all said.

"Hmph, what are you anxious about? I just said you don't have to do it yourself. Since he dared to come to transport the Sea of Blood, then don't think about going back alive, the treasure hunt of the Sea of Blood must be very interested in the lone Elder of the Golden Pill Immortal Palace!" "Ha, Senior Brother Du Ran is still thoughtful!"

After Du Ran finished speaking, he laughed out loud, and after glancing coldly in the direction where Ye Qin went, he turned around and walked towards the entrance of the sub-cabin with a blood-dripping broken sword pattern on the plaque, and several other monks from the Upper Tang Palace also followed with a big bang.

Here, Ye Qin and the two walked into Xianzhuzhai, not to drink, but to easily listen to the news they needed. But what they saw in front of them made the two feel very new and strange.

Because this ancient warship is stranded on the beach, the hull of the ship is a little tilted, and the monks on the ship are all monks above the golden pill, so there is naturally no obstacle in walking, but this item is different.

Directly in front of the cabin against the wall, there was a huge brass keg, filled with the next grade of spirit brew, almost next to the cabin roof.

From the top of the sloping barrel, several copper pipes lead straight to each table, perpendiculating to the center of the table. The wine outlet is made into a delicate bronze beast, and with just a light touch, there is a gurgling of bright red spirit wine.

At this time, there were several Jindan monks who were taking wine and tasting it, and the auxiliary cabin was full of aura for a while, coupled with the situation in front of him, it was really wonderful!

At this time, the Daoist who had just been stopped by a person at the door to speak, also rushed up, and opened his mouth and said, "Two of you, there is important information, I don't know if you are interested?"
