Unless necessary, he didn't want to expose his whereabouts and cause the Taoists to come to him again.

Now all he wants to do is to improve his cultivation level again, find his own path, and advance to the holy level.

In this way, of course, there is no need to be afraid of Taoism, and more importantly, this is the goal and pleasure of his current cultivation.

Just like what he said to Jin Qingsi in Wuyahai, he now regards cultivation and finding the root of the great path as a pleasure.

..

Because in this process of pursuing the origin of Tao, he felt unrestrained and at ease.

The heavy snow continued to fall, and the snow camel convoy moved forward steadily.

Kong Zhang was wearing a felt hat and sitting on the penultimate snow camel. In addition to him, there were large bundles of wrapped goods hanging from the back of the camel.

The caravan he followed was one of the three caravans serving Qianxue City in the Bahuang Zangzhen Tower.

Along the way, Kong Zhang also tried to listen to the conversation.

From the people who came along the way, I learned that it is very common for various sects in Beihai to hire caravans like Bahuang Zangzhenlou or Shifang Zhenbaofang to serve themselves.

For example, there are three caravans serving Qianxue City. One is dedicated to serving the monks in Qianxue City. The second one is the one where Kong Zhang is located, which serves the ordinary people in Qianxue City and some low-level monks who have not yet reached the stage of bigu.

...

The former purchases all the things they need for their cultivation for the mid-level and high-level monks in Qianxue City. Of course, there is no guarantee that they can be provided. It is just that the monks in the city can provide them with a list of the things they need every once in a while. From this

Caravans travel all over the world to search for them. If they can find items directly, they can buy them on their behalf.

If what is needed is too expensive and exceeds the service limit that Bahuang Zangzhen Building is willing to provide to Qianxue City, Zangzhen Building's caravan will only bring back the news of the needed thing, and then charge a certain message fee.

It’s up to Qian Xuecheng to decide.

However, Kong Zhang's team regularly provides purchases for ordinary low-level monks in Qianxue City. Although Qianxue City is respected by high-level monks, high-level monks also need the service and service of others.

The high-level monks in each city are the most noble, but they are also inseparable from the services of ordinary people and low-level monks. These people also need food, drink, clothing, and like weird things. Some of them also want to cultivate themselves and constantly improve, and they also

There will be things needed for cultivation, but at most they are not as expensive and rare as what high-level monks need.

Only the third caravan, which Kong Zhang could not find out, was quite mysterious.

Kong Zhang planned to follow this caravan and sneak into the northern cultivation world without anyone noticing. While practicing secretly, he could also get in touch with a super business alliance organization like Bahuang Zangzhen Tower.

There are no rare things that can help you. If there are any, just show up and grab them.

If not, the information he can get by following this super business alliance organization can also make up for his shortcomings of being alone.

Bahuang Zangzhen Tower and Shifang Treasure Shop each serve hundreds of cities in the Arctic Continent, purchasing things for them from various places, even Xiniu Hezhou, and even other realms and heavens, such as the star realm city that Da Chu successfully developed.

They are allowed to send a caravan three times a year to purchase. Of course, the price is that they also have to use some Beihai specialties to trade with Dachu.

As Kong Zhang climbed up and down on the snow camel, he already knew the details of this team.

Because this team is just an ordinary caravan serving Qianxue City, not another caravan serving monks, nor is it the most mysterious third caravan, there are no clever monks in this team.

There were originally twelve people in the team. Among them, the team leader and deputy team leader had the highest cultivation level, approximately at the high level of Qi Refining Realm. The remaining ten people only had the superficial cultivation level of Sensing Realm.

Such a team only needs to encounter a real-person monk to be destroyed. It doesn't even need a real-person realm. It is to encounter a bandit with nearly a thousand people. Among these twelve people, I am afraid that only the two leaders can

Breaking out of the siege.

The amount of goods purchased this time was quite large, and it was twice as much as originally expected. So when they returned from the west, the two team leaders discussed it and decided to hire fifty more skilled men and modify several more.

The carriages that only carried goods came out, and the snow camels were converted into pulls.

"Brother Huang, why do we really have to buy so much? We can just go back with the original purchase amount. But now we have bought so much that the snow camels don't even have to carry it. Half of the things have to be packed here."

In the carriage, it is pulled by a snow camel." Kong Zhang pretended to be dozing off, and heard someone in front of him complaining quietly to another person.

"Ma Qi, please keep your voice down. Could it be that you drank too much kumiss? Be careful if the two team leaders overhear you, and you will be rewarded." Huang Sange warned in a low voice.

"Hmph, between the two of them, one wants to please that woman from Qian Xuecheng, and the other wants to gain Qian Xuecheng's approval, but this makes the brothers have to stay in this icy and snowy wasteland for at least five or six more days." Despite being seduced by Huang Sange.

After filing the lawsuit, Ma Qi was still a little unwilling.

"Can't you just shut up your mouth? Why don't you just say a few words? Our caravan is for the ordinary people of Qianxue City. It has a low status in the merchant alliance. Of course, Deputy Leader Tu wants to make some achievements and get

With Qian Xuecheng's good comments, he can be promoted to the second caravan or even the first caravan. In that case, not only will his status in the merchant alliance be improved, but the most important thing is that he is different from us."

"What's the difference?" Ma Qi said unconvinced.

"Tch, you came in late, so you don't know that even I was originally different from you. When we entered the Bahuang Zangzhen Building, we also wanted to have an organization to rely on so that we would not be helpless, but also because

There are rules in the building. As long as your status rises, you can get what you need for cultivation. Naturally, a caravan like ours has no ability, because all we have access to are ways to purchase for ordinary people. If it is the second

The caravan or the first caravan, they naturally have various stations in the building to guide them in purchasing or exchanging what the monks need. Fool, you really want to get into the first caravan or the second caravan, don’t

It is said that there will be a fixed distribution in the building, and you can also take advantage of the opportunity of purchasing and exchanging with the caravan to do some small transactions privately. This is not an opportunity that ordinary people have." Huang Sange said the answer.

Kong Zhang slowly opened his eyes on the snow camel behind him, and after just a moment's thought, he understood what Huang Sange said.

Bahuang Zangzhenlou has stations in various places. These stations usually inquire about information, pass on information, and maintain relations with the local area. When the caravan of our merchant alliance comes, they are responsible for introducing them to the door and even purchasing them in advance.

What you need can be taken away as soon as the caravan arrives.

Shifang Zhenbaofang is similar to this. The two business alliances rely on this model to maintain low-key contacts with various forces and make profits from it.

Relying on this model, the two merchant alliances are almost invincible, because like the Tang family who makes utensils in the aristocratic family, the Wen family who makes alchemy in Lingnan, and even before the Gongsun family moved to Dachu, these merchant alliances would have regular business meetings.

The team comes to visit and purchase or trade.

The transactions of these merchant alliances are often large, because except in this mode, they usually serve various cities in the Arctic Continent or a certain sect force.

If you encounter the same type of purchase, you can pool the purchase and then allocate it to each caravan that comes to pick up the goods according to the previously scheduled amount, and then the caravan delivers it to the predetermined city or force.

The reason for this strange pattern stems from the fact that when the demon clan was expelled to the four poles, the northern cultivation world was also in chaos. Various forces secretly fought secretly, but there was no relatively fixed alliance of forces.

Under this situation, Bahuang Zangzhen Tower and Shifang Treasure Shop came into being, specializing in traveling among various forces to help them purchase things.

Later, as the situation eased, the business alliances such as Bahuang Zangzhen Tower and Shifang Zhenbaofang still existed and grew bigger and bigger. The reason was that the northern cultivation world had obtained a strange relationship between Dachu and the Yaozu.

balance.

This balance is that this area has become an area that will not listen to Dachu, but will also be completely controlled by the demon clan. It is a model of co-governance by humans and demons.

Whether it is Da Chu or the demon clan who want to completely control this place, these forces will probably unite to resist.

Many years ago, Emperor Wu of Chu tried to control this place after he ascended the throne. With Yang Zhan as commander, he crossed the wasteland and attacked.

However, the entire army was almost wiped out. It is said that Lian Wu didu appeared in Huajing, which allowed Yang Zhan to save Feipu City, which he had already occupied on the Arctic Continent.

The final agreement reached was that Fei Falls City could be owned by Da Chu and become a claw of Da Chu extending into the Arctic Continent, but any Da Chu people in Fei Falls City must abide by the rules of the Arctic Continent.

So far, Da Chu has stopped at Feipu City, and has not even broken through the North Ice Continent, let alone overlooked the North Sea.

The sects in the northern cultivation world will be affected to some extent by a similar influence, that is, they neither obey the Yao Clan's ancestral court nor the Great Chu. They prefer to maintain the existing model, forming the current situation where hundreds of cities work together to discuss the matter.

The freedom of coexistence of forces from both sides.

Anyone who wants to disrupt this balance will be subject to joint resistance. This is why Emperor Wu's tentative move was stopped.

Most of the monks in the Western Regions were casual cultivators. Lingyin Temple, the only one with a strong foundation, could barely count, but it was also in decline. The small countries in the Western Regions were at war with each other. Therefore, the Chu Dynasty went to defeat Shituo Mountain first, and then established a capital.

Protecting the Mansion, and with the help of the two major Taoist sects Cangqiong Sect and Xingxiu Palace, sooner or later the Western Region will be pacified and brought under control.

But the world of cultivation in the north is very different. Although there are many sects here, including many casual cultivators, there are also many powerful sects, and they can jointly resist the outside world.

The North Ice Continent is vast, and behind each city, there is usually a certain sect that supports it or it was originally established by a disciple of a certain sect to serve as a branch for the sect's external liaison.

Of course there is a reason for this, because the world of cultivation in the north is different from that of Da Chu and the Western Regions.

The climate here is cold, with ice and snow all year round. It is not a big hindrance to monks at the real level or above, but it is quite troublesome for those monks who have just started, or even at the Qi Refining level. Not every sect can be like this.

The Shushan sect also gathers disciples to practice together.

It is impossible for the sects in the Arctic Continent to move their sects casually, but at the same time, the inheritance and even development of the sect need to recruit disciples and select good talents from them. This is a base problem. The larger the base, the more likely it is to obtain talents.

Good disciple.

In the Northern Cultivation World, unlike the Western Regions, a large number of royal powers have been established. Instead, they occupy various regions based on the power of sects.

This also made it more difficult for them to reconcile with Taoist sects. At the same time, the Shushan sect recruited a wide range of disciples, which also deeply stimulated certain sects in the north.

Kong Zhang sat on the snow camel, letting the heavy snow dance. The daily chatter in the entire convoy could not escape his ears. Slowly, various information gathered together, and a story about the northern cultivation world slowly formed in his mind.
