Volume 2 Journey to the Far West Chapter 330 Escape City
Pan Hongting wanted to speak and stopped: "Zhenbaoju will naturally not let go of this opportunity easily, but our Nanyue Business Alliance's transaction with them is limited to this, as long as Zhu Zhiyao wins the crown, then Ming Wang Zhenjian belongs to Zhenbaoju, all the Nanyue Business Alliance needs is the qualification to enter Xiaoyao City, they have nothing else to ask for, and they don't have any financial resources for our participation!"
Lin Feng was stunned for a moment: "In this way, this cooperation is actually limited to the relationship between Deacon Yu Xian Hall and Jumbo Ju? Jumbo Ju provides us with a certain amount of financial resources, and after we win the competition, we need to hand over King Ming Zhenjian to them?"
Pan Hongting nodded: "That's roughly the case! With the strength of our Yuxian Deacon Hall, we can't muster together a large number of various spices, but Jumbo Ju has a unique advantage, compared to King Ming Zhenjian, the spices and spirit stones they provide to us are completely negligible!"
Lin Feng said with some sudden realization: "I see! We opened the Lingxian Teahouse in Yu Xianfang City, just to use the signboard of the Treasure Residence to earn a huge amount of spirit stones needed to buy spices, and at the same time, it also serves as the contact point between the Treasure Residence and the Yu Xian Deacon Hall, so that they can know the condition of the snow-roofed green calyx at any time, and some rare spices can also be provided to us for free?"
Pan Hongting: "That's right! If not, even if we get the snow-topped green calyx in the Yuxian Deacon Hall, there is no way to go to Xiaoyao City to compete.
As long as we can get the crown of the Tea Conference, they will fulfill their promise, and then we will be the headquarters of the Nanyue Business Alliance, and we will live in the city for a long time to manage the Quartet, and the high-level leaders of the Nanyue Business Alliance will be in charge of affairs according to the number of shares.
They assist in handling the chores of the business alliance, and the annual profits are divided according to their respective shares. [~] When the time comes, I will be the head of the Nanyue Business Alliance, and I may even serve as the elder of the Business Alliance, and I will have a place in the Far West Plateau in the future. [~]”
Lin Feng asked: "As a newly rising shili, without the Yuan Infant Stage Great Cultivator in charge, I am afraid it is not enough to gain a foothold in the Quartet, even if the Nanyue Business Alliance is stationed in Xiaoyao City, it will inevitably face the suppression of other shili in all aspects." ”
Pan Hongting's face was sad: "The Shang Alliance has long thought of this, so once it is stationed in Xiaoyao City, it will invite the Yuan Infant Stage Master as a guest elder, in order to receive the effect of deterrence, but the requirements of the Yuan Infant Stage Grand Monk will also be very high, and the Nanyue Business Alliance will definitely have to pay a huge price for this, and our Deacon Hall will not be spared, but for the sake of the future future... Sacrifices are inevitable. ”
Lin Feng fell into deep thought noncommittally, and inadvertently glanced at Zhu Zhiyao, and found that the sadness on her face deepened a little deeper, at first glance she was still charming, and the sadness on her face made her even more moving, but Lin Feng clearly felt that her heart was actually suffering from intense torment!
Talking and laughing, everyone has flown over more than 100 miles, Xiaoyao City has become closer and closer in sight, at this time you can see many monks flying around Xiaoyao City, in and out of the lively and lively, on the tea conference for the extreme western plateau, is also a very grand event, the famous several shili, will send caravans to participate.
Pan Hongting led everyone to fly slowly, the speed was already very slow, just as they were getting closer and closer to Xiaoyao City, a spectacle appeared in the distance, suddenly attracting everyone's attention!
I saw that in front of dozens of miles away, there was a large group of monks flying slowly, they were carrying a huge sedan chair together, the sedan chair was shrouded around the gauze tent, and there was a strong wind leaking out of it, blowing the gauze tent hunting sound, and the huge silk silk was waving in the wind, which seemed inexplicably strange from a distance.
Pan Hongting and the others stopped to watch, at this time it was already close to the city gate anyway, and the other party seemed to be about to enter Xiaoyao City, so sooner or later they were going to meet each other, for such a group of monks, the disciples of the Nanyue Business Alliance were quite curious.
The other party got closer and closer, and Lin Feng vaguely found that on the veil above the sedan chair, there seemed to be a cross-shaped pattern embroidered, and at the edge of this pattern was a blooming plum blossom, how could he ever be familiar with this pattern? Because in his storage bag, there were two jade bottles at the bottom, and there was also the exact same pattern!
Those two jade bottles were the relics of Zhou Zhi of the Zhou family in Fengyu City, and the relics of the Douding of the winner's gambling house, according to Lin Feng's judgment, they were the loyal believers of the Thousand Gu Sect planted in Fengyu City, with the purpose of infiltrating all parties shili to lurk and grow, and one day seize the position of the overlord of Fengyu City.
And at this moment, the mark of the Thousand Gu Sect appeared on this giant sedan chair, and they went to Xiaoyao City with great momentum, naturally they wanted to take advantage of the opportunity of the Tea Conference, intending to win their own interests in Xiaoyao City, but Lin Feng looked at the flying gauze tent, and his heart always felt that he was enveloped by a layer of oppressive atmosphere, this strange feeling made him very disgusted, but it always lingered.
The giant sedan chair was getting closer and closer, and the other monks of the Nanyue Business Alliance were also swayed by this strong sense of depression, and they all stopped and looked at each other, and the giant sedan chair soon came to him, Lin Feng could clearly see that there was a faint figure in the gauze tent, the gauze tent moved with the wind, and the shadow was reflected on the gauze tent.
The other party paused when he was traveling dozens of zhang away, and looked at the monks of the Nanyue Business Alliance for a moment, and the veils on the giant sedan chair were like slender tentacles, flying wildly in the void, and the giant sedan chair didn't need any support, hovering in mid-air without moving!
This giant sedan chair is actually a magic weapon for flying! When it is activated, it can be the same as the monk's retreat technique, turning into a streamer through the clouds and breaking through the fog, if the monk of the Dan period sets it up, he can obtain a faster and farther escape speed under the same mana output, and most importantly, it can maintain a long-term continuous flight under the abundant spiritual power of the monk in the Dan period, which has an extremely important role in long-distance travel.
The giant sedan chair paused for a moment, then slowly landed in front of the city gate, and was carried into Xiaoyao City by a group of disciples in the foundation building period, Pan Hongting watched them leave thoughtfully, and also led a large group of disciples of the Nanyue Business Alliance towards Xiaoyao City.
In the city, a prosperous image of people coming and going, countless leisure cultivators gather here, enjoy the most famous comfortable things in the extreme western plateau, the spring bath, the tea house, the incense pavilion, the brothel, the song platform, the gambling house, etc.,
In the extreme western plateau are famous for the extreme, the wealth of the extreme western plateau is highly concentrated, the vast majority of financial resources are in the hands of a very small number of people, the major shili gentlemen spend all day long here, the special environment of the free city makes them happy,
But it also caused a large number of monks to fall into the mundane dust and waste their cultivation, and after a long period of sinking, they not only exhausted their family wealth, but also caused their cultivation to decline and their strength to drop greatly, and finally they were either exhausted or killed by others, and there was no longer their voice in the cultivation realm.
Xiaoyaozi founded Xiaoyao City with the original intention of providing a more comfortable cultivation environment for all monks, adjusting the boring and boring cultivation career, and also providing a way for some monks who were in financial distress to make money.
At the beginning, the monks who were invited in the tea ceremony, incense pavilion, spring bath, brothel, getai, etc., were completely voluntary and interested, and the trading environment was fair and free, and some men and women even became partners because of this.
It's just that later, due to the infiltration of Shili from all sides, the city began to become intrigued, and the place of leisure was no longer free and fair, but a place of profit, and the taste of leisure was no longer as elegant as before, but the vulgar people who were purely greedy for pleasure, and the situation of the city was declining.
In the previous Xiaoyao City, leisure cultivation is not an idle marketman, but a kind of tranquility that pays attention to the ten thousand laws, their cultivation pays attention to epiphany, when the comprehension is opened, concentrate on retreat, and follow the nature when the comprehension ends, whether it is tea, bathing, dancing, listening to prostitutes, they can find a trace of the essence of the heavenly way and the human heart from the things they are engaged in, and often form a silent accumulation of their epiphany!
Just like today's Xiaoyao Sect, it is still mainly based on idle cultivation, this is an amazing sect in the cultivation world, they are diametrically opposed to other monks, a lot of time is not used for cultivation, but on mundane trivial matters, but whenever there is an epiphany, the realm will improve by leaps and bounds, which is beyond the reach of all monks.
The fundamental reason why Xiaoyaomen is declining day by day is that the disciples are not as good as the next generation, and if they want to become a real idle cultivator, they actually need extremely high talent and qualifications, otherwise not only will they not be able to achieve more epiphany, but they will also waste their cultivation because of this, so that they will gradually degenerate into a state of unstoppability, so that they will eventually achieve nothing and become a panicked marketman.
As soon as Lin Feng and the others entered Xiaoyao City, they were quickly attracted by the dazzling number of things, among the many shops here, although there are also ordinary cultivation materials for sale, but a large part of them have been processed by special techniques to make them more in line with the use of leisure cultivation, the utility of the materials has not been reduced, but it is more precious and fancy, and it is more comfortable and simple to use, and even makes people feel pleasing to the eye.
In addition, on the streets of Xiaoyao City, as well as in front of many shops, there are a large number of monks to set up stalls, but the rental fees of these stalls are collected by Xiaoyaomen, and any shili and loose cultivators who want to operate can only obtain the right to operate from Xiaoyaomen, and more than seventy percent of the profits earned must be collected by Xiaoyaomen.
