244. Chapter 242
As the so-called words are too much, Yuwen Zhouyuan just mentioned the four words "Dongyang Kingdom Scattered Cultivation" and didn't say much about his identity, so as not to give birth to flaws.
The Dongyang Continent is very large and the Dongyang Empire is the largest, and most of the countries that everyone said just now are vassal states of the Dongyang Kingdom, strictly speaking, all of them are also from the Dongyang Kingdom, so Yuwen Zhouyuan said that he was a loose cultivator of the Dongyang Kingdom, and everyone couldn't help but smile bitterly in their hearts, secretly saying that it would be even more difficult for such a big Dongyang Kingdom to inquire about a loose cultivation.
Moreover, Yuwen Zhouyuan chose to sit with the monks of the Yuntai Sect, which was also exquisite.
In any case, Yuwen Zhouyuan is a monk of the Dongyang Immortal Realm, and the Yuntai Sect and the Qingwuguang Sect are all monks of the same origin. He knew more about the methods of the Yuntai Sect monks, and even if there was a change, he could deal with it in time.
As for the monks of the Fengyun Continent, the sun never sets, and the land of three things, they are quite unfamiliar, and they don't know what magical powers they have.
Yue Yannian was stunned for a moment, he clapped his hands, asked the waitresses waiting on the side to serve tea and wine, and said with a smile: "Brother Yuwen is new, let me tell you about the remuneration for serving as the protector of the Moon Country, the beginning of the True Yuan Period, serving as the protector of the Moon Country, the starting price is one hundred lower grade spirit stones a month." I wonder if Brother Yuwen thinks this price is acceptable?"
Several female attendants came up and set up a full banquet for Yuwen Zhouyuan. Yuwen Zhouyuan nodded to several maids with a faint smile and took a sip of wine. This wine should be made with a small amount of spiritual fruit, the color is blue, and it has a lot of aura.
Since Yuwen Zhouyuan planned to stay in this Heyue camp for a short time, he naturally wanted to make himself look more like the person who came to protect the country and recruit immortal masters, so he was late for a moment and asked: "If there is a fight between Mochizuki and Donglin's True Yuan Monk, and a random damage to a magic weapon is worth at least a thousand spirit stones, then how can this price be calculated?"
Inside the big tent, all the True Yuan monks suddenly burst out laughing.
"Brother Yuwen must be taking this job for the first time, right? I don't know the rules very well, which is normal. A monk from the Yuntai Sect surnamed Ma who was sitting next to Yuwen Zhouyuan explained very enthusiastically: "In fact, the cost of one hundred lower-grade spirit stones is just the price of simply asking Brother Yuwen to serve as the Protector Immortal, you usually only need to follow the army, and you don't need to do anything during this period." We, the Protector Immortals, are actually still very relaxed. If you go to perform an important task, then the price will be calculated according to the importance of the task. This task also depends on whether you are willing or not, if you don't want to go, you can also refuse. ”
Yue Yannian said with a smile: "Yes! What Senior Brother Ma said is true, there is no need to rush this, Brother Yuwen will understand it slowly." The Yue family is absolutely fair in doing things, and there are old rules for how many spirit stones to give for any task, and there will be no less spirit stone than you should get. ”
Yuwen Zhouyuan suddenly turned pale and smiled humbly: "I really don't know this, I have been cultivating in the past, but with Xiaocheng, I came out to wander." Passing by Heyue City, I saw that Mochizuki was recruiting immortal masters, so I came here. Let all the Taoist friends laugh!"
Matthew said with a smile: "No wonder, it is very commendable that Brother Yuwen can enter the True Yuan Stage as a casual cultivator. However, Brother Yuwen didn't have to worry too much about the relationship between Zhou and Donglin's True Yuan Cultivators, the possibility of a direct fight was very small, and there would be no danger. If there is really danger, my fat horse will not come. After all, no matter how many spirit stones there are, they are not as valuable as our lives. ”
The monks said something in unison.
Yuwen Zhouyuan gradually understood.
The Moon Kingdom pays the 100 lower-grade spirit stones every month, and hires their group of True Yuan Monks to serve as the protector immortal masters of the Moon Kingdom, in fact, the role is to borrow the names of these True Yuan Monks to strengthen the prestige of the Moon Kingdom.
The Mochizuki Kingdom has recruited more than ten True Yuan Cultivators here, one or two hundred True Qi Period Cultivators, and the expenditure of five or six thousand lower-grade spirit stones in such a month can be said to be quite huge. Only a big family like the Yue family can afford it.
Mochizuki Country usually can't afford to raise so many Protector Immortals. Temporary recruitment is carried out only when the war is very tense. As soon as the fiercest battle is over, these "Protector Immortals" will also leave immediately, and they will not continue to stay in Mochizuki.
After Yuwen Zhouyuan became acquainted with the monks a little, he opened the conversation box and gradually stopped talking, but listened more to what the monks had to say.
During the conversation, the chief of the storage road suddenly asked about something, and said to the first Yue Yannian: "Brother Yue, I don't know why Mochizuki and Donglin suddenly raised troops. ”
Yue Yannian's expression changed slightly, and he smiled lightly: "Brother Chu, this is a long matter of personal grievances between my Yue family and the Jiang family, please forgive me if it is inconvenient to say it." ”
Everyone was puzzled, but they didn't chase after it. Since Yue Yannian said that this was a personal grudge between the Yue clan and the Jiang clan, it was inconvenient for them to ask too much.
Yuwen Zhouyuan's heart moved.
Yuwen Zhouyuan naturally knew the reason, there was a newly discovered small spirit stone vein on the border between Mochizuki and Donglin, and the two countries had raised troops to seize control of the border because of this.
However, it seems that this news has not yet spread, and only the Jiang clan and the Yue clan are aware of this matter, so there is a question from the chief of the Chu Dao.
Then, the Daoist asked again, "I wonder when the Mochizuki Kingdom will decide to start a war against the Donglin Kingdom?"
Yue Yannian muttered: "Well, this battle has been prepared for more than half a year, and there should be a fierce battle at the end of this month." Heyue Castle is the largest military town near Donglin. At that time, there will be many Protector Immortal Masters who will come here to ensure the safety of Heyue City. There will also be a lot of True Yuan Stage Immortal cultivators gathered together, which is quite rare. So before the war, I'm going to gather everyone to exchange items, and I hope you can participate!"
All the True Yuan monks nodded their heads, indicating their intention to participate.
According to the custom of the immortal cultivation world, if many monks gather, they usually hold such a trade fair, exchange items with each other, and take out things that they don't need in exchange for items in the hands of others. To each according to his needs, it is good for all.
Naturally, Yuwen Juyuan also intends to participate. The True Yuan monks of this Heyue camp have monks from Dongyang, Fengyun Continent, and the sun never sets, so they may be able to find good items.
The eight True Yuan monks gathered in the tent for two or three hours, and after talking about business, they chatted with some interesting anecdotes, talked happily, and had enough wine before they dispersed.
Waiting for the monks to leave, Yue Yannian's face suddenly sank, and he said: "Those who come are not good, and those who are good are not coming! Half of them are people of suspicious origin." What do you think of the seven of them?"
Behind the screen behind Yue Yannian, a True Yuan monk turned out, this person was a middle-aged and handsome man, a member of the Yue clan. Under the cover of the aura released by Yue Yannian, his aura was extremely well hidden and was not discovered.
The middle-aged man smiled and said, "The three monks of the Yuntai Sect can rest assured. The chief of the storage path is a well-known evil monk in the land of Sanzhi, who is ruthless and comes purely for money. As for him asking questions, I was afraid that he had heard some bad news. As for Nudari of Jinsha Fakuda and Huizhen of Ma Qianguo, the two of them have mysterious origins and are silent, and I don't know why they suddenly took the initiative to come to our country of Mochizuki. ”
Yue Yannian asked, "What about the young monk surnamed Yuwen?"
The middle-aged man said: "This person is only in his twenties, although this person claims to be a loose cultivator, but the Dongyang Immortal Cultivation Realm has never been a true Yuan in his twenties, and this son is most likely a core monk of a certain family or sect, and he has come out to practice." Young monks go out to practice, and most of them like to make a name for themselves. But this person just hides his identity and doesn't want us to know. This man is quite suspicious, but there is no evidence, and it is not clear what he wants to do when he comes to our Heyue camp. ”
Yue Yannian smiled bitterly: "In other words, none of these four people can be trusted?"
The middle-aged man smiled: "Unless it is a member of the Yue Clan, or a monk of the Yuntai Sect, it cannot be trusted." However, although these four monks are not trustworthy, they still have to keep them in my moon to strengthen their prestige, otherwise, they will turn around and go to Donglin Country and become Donglin's Protector Immortal Master, which is very bad. One subtraction and one increase, there are eight True Yuan Monks. If the difference in the number of True Yuan monks between Mochizuki and Donglin is too great, this battle will be defeated if it is not fought.
Yuwen Juyuan was officially inaugurated as the protector of the Mochizuki Kingdom, and the temporary residence in the Heyue Camp had already been arranged, and he came to a tent.
"Senior, what do you think of the layout in this tent?" Yue Lianxing, this woman is quite ingenious, seeing that Yuwen Zhouyuan is wearing a green shirt all over her body, and there is no ornament to wear, knowing that he likes simplicity, so there are no extra decorative items in this tent.
Yuwen Zhouyuan nodded with satisfaction, the tent was spacious, the snow fox animal skin was paved on the ground, and a low table of eight immortals was placed, and there was a bronze incense burner on the table, smoking a light incense smoke, this incense had the effect of calming the mind and concentrating, and the tent where he lived was very simple, clean and suitable for cultivation.
"Then the senior will rest first, if you have any orders, call me directly! I am in the tent not far away, the patriarch has ordered, during this time I only need to obey the orders of the seniors. After Yue Lianxing finished speaking briskly, she smiled and took the initiative to retire.
"Wait a minute!" Yuwen Zhouyuan stopped Yue Lianxing, who was about to leave, took out two small bottles of low-level spirit pills from his arms, handed them to her, and said with a smile: "I am going to use some spirit stones recently, here are two bottles of low-level spirit pills used by True Qi Stage cultivators, this is what I used before, and I don't need them anymore." You help me exchange it for spirit stones with the True Qi Stage cultivators in the camp. Here's a pill of elixir as a reward for you. ”
Moon Lianxing showed joy, a spirit pill is worth several spirit stones. If you do such a small thing, you can get a spirit pill, which is too worthwhile, but she didn't go to pick up the pill bottle immediately, but asked strangely: "Seniors don't go to them directly?"
Yuwen Juyuan smiled and said, "If I go directly to them, they will definitely be very reserved." Even if I put the elixir at a very high price, they wouldn't dare to bargain with me. It's just a bit deceptive. So I would like to ask you to help me exchange these elixirs for spirit stones and sell them at the normal price. ”
"Okay. Yue Lianxing tilted her head, thinking about it, and soon understood Yuwen Zhouyuan's intentions, and left the big tent with two vials of low-level elixirs.
Yuwen Zhouyuan sat down alone in the tent after the moon was gone, thinking about the gathering between the monks of the Mochizuki Kingdom at the end of this month. I thought about what I should take out and trade with other monks.
