Volume 1: Mountains and Rivers of Light Chapter 126: The Qian Family
In Luoxia County, there are two major chambers of commerce running hand in hand, and their business has spread to every province.
One of them is naturally Mingxinxuan, and the other one is called Haohan Tower.
And what Jiang He mentioned at this time, the most famous city in Guanxia City, is the industry belonging to Haohanlou.
I heard that this local market holds a grand trade fair at the end of every month. The products come from all over the world, and there is nothing they can't imagine.
"The monthly trade fair is nothing, the once-a-year auction is the real highlight!"
Jiang He said with excitement.
Although he had never participated in it, during the few days he was in the county, he often heard people mention that the annual auction in Haohan Tower could even attract monks from other provinces.
Every year, many great monks and even several immortal figures standing in the clouds will appear at the auction.
"It's just an auction, is that all?"
Ji Yuan looked stunned, unable to imagine what kind of scene it would be.
He was an immortal figure who climbed to the top of the clouds. He had boundless magical power and was able to connect with the gods through Taoism. He was only one step away from attaining Taoism and becoming an immortal.
The so-called moving mountains to fill the sea, splitting the nine heavens with one sword, is just a casual thing for such people. They can even enter the Qingming to travel outside the sky, and the lower level can enter the Nine Nether to experience reincarnation in person.
Anyway, it was hard for him to imagine the scene of such a divine figure sitting in the auction house fighting for things.
It’s just like it’s impossible to imagine an ethereal fairy squatting on the street eating a bowl of hot dry noodles.
"You, I haven't seen much of you. Even if you are a god, it doesn't matter, your magic power is much higher than others."
Zhao Yuansong shook his head.
When he mentioned those powerful beings, although he had respect on his face, he didn't really take them seriously, treating them as unreachable, true immortals in the sky that didn't exist in the world.
Seeing Ji Yuan's confused look, he immediately smiled and said: "Only some wild cultivators in the mountains and rivers, or monks who have never seen the world, really regard those powerful people as gods enshrined on the incense stand."
This is not something Zhao Yuansong was mocking, but something he said sincerely.
In sects and sects with orderly inheritance, people like these people may respect or look up to them, but they will never really treat them as unattainable immortals.
After all, monks practice not only to seek immortality, but also to develop magical powers that can reach heaven and earth.
Not to mention, in some sects that have been passed down for thousands of years, there are such figures sitting in command. Although they retreat all year round, they will appear in the sect every few decades or so to preach to the disciples.
.
Naturally, monks who come from a big sect may have respect, but they don't have much of the same emotions as ordinary people and respect for immortals and gods.
"The county town has arrived!"
Half a day later, Xu Qiqi, who was lying by the car window, suddenly shouted.
When Ji Yuan heard the sound, he immediately opened the door curtain, and then he saw a city in the distance sitting on the land in the distance.
This is a scenery he has never seen before. Compared with it, Qianyu City is just a slightly larger district in the county. Even though it is still several miles away, he can still feel the momentum coming towards him.
.
In front of this city, everything seems to become insignificant. No matter whether you are in the second realm or the third realm, you can't even think of confronting the oppression.
"Every county in the Dayu Dynasty has dozens of layers of formations, connected one to another. Even if they are not opened on weekdays, they still exude a strong momentum all the time."
Zhao Yuansong was sitting in the carriage, and the old god spoke calmly.
Hearing this, Ji Yuan's expression changed. He didn't know how powerful the dozens of formations would be if they were activated.
"Old Zhao, do you know the power of this formation?"
He turned around and sat back and asked curiously.
However, there was no need for Zhao Yuan to let go, as Jiang He on the side rushed forward and said: "I heard from the elders of the master's sect that the power of the formations deployed in each county and city is different, and they even focus on different directions.
"
"Some are good at defense and cannot be easily broken even by powerful people, and some (this chapter is not finished yet!)

He is good at moving the aura of mountains and rivers, making the city rich in aura and most suitable for living."
"But even if the power is the weakest and dozens of layers of formations are activated, even the great monks sitting on one side will have to avoid their sharp edges and dare not meet them. If they are brushed aside, they will be stunned on the spot!"
Ji Yuan swallowed subconsciously. He thought that the power of dozens of formations stacked together would be extremely powerful, but he never thought that it would be so powerful!
Dozens of layers of formations are activated, and with one full blow, even the great monks who have formed a golden elixir can be killed!
On the road of cultivation, the gap between each realm is very huge, and as the cultivation level becomes more and more advanced, this gap also changes from the foot of the mountain and the top of the mountain to the earth and the sky.
In the eyes of mortals, monks in the first realm are already called immortal masters, and after possessing magic power in the second realm, they are even regarded as gods by mortals.
Not to mention that once you reach the third realm, you will not be offended easily even by the famous and upright people who dominate a county, and you are qualified to hold the position of elder. You are a person who needs to be treated politely by all forces.
But compared with the great monks who can truly guard a place, these are like heaven and earth, and cannot be compared at all.
The first to third realms of monks are called the enlightenment realm, the enlightenment realm, and the enlightenment realm respectively.
The first to third realms of martial arts are called the skin and flesh realm, the muscle and bone realm, and the nourishing realm.
Such three realms are a process of polishing the foundation and solidifying the Tao foundation, laying a solid foundation for oneself through various means.
Only after forming a golden elixir can one truly embark on the path to enlightenment, escape from the mortal world, and have the qualifications to seek immortality.
For example, after breaking through from the second realm to the third realm, your life span can be increased by 120 years, and you can live to be 300 years old.
But if you form a golden elixir, you can increase your lifespan by a full two hundred years at a time!
And before the Golden Elixir, no matter what level of monk you were, the lifespan that you could increase by external forces in your lifetime was extremely limited, and it could not exceed fifty years at most.
But after forming the golden elixir, such restrictions become much weaker. As long as your financial resources are strong enough and your opportunities are amazing enough, you won't have any problems even if you increase your life span by hundreds of years in one go.
The reason is that the Golden elixir monks have lost their mortal bodies and can destroy mountains and rivers with a single movement of their hands. Their Taoist and supernatural powers can truly be called gods.
But the large formation in the county city can kill such a person!
Ji Yuan shook his head silently, it was really hard to imagine that kind of scene.
While several people were talking, the carriage that the group was riding in had arrived at the city gate. When the officers and soldiers guarding the city saw the Qian family's flag and Li Wenqing's token, they let them through without charging any entry tax.
When the carriage entered the county town, there was no scene like Ji Yuan had imagined, where there were too many passers-by and he had to walk on foot.
The streets in the county city are much wider than those in Qianyu City. Even if there are four or five carriages traveling side by side at the same time, it will not seem crowded at all.
"He left."
Through the car window, Ji Yuan saw Li Wenqing's carriage, turning around at an intersection and disappearing from his sight after a while.
After returning to the county town, the other party will have to do much more than them.
After all, Qian Nishang's presence in the whole matter is extremely weak, and with the favor of the county magistrate now at hand, she won't encounter any big trouble.
But Li Wenqing is different. Whether voluntarily or forced, he is already on the cusp of the storm. Not only does he have to face the accountability of the thirteen forces, but he also has to compromise with the Li family.
At least before his plan is completed, there must not be any flaws exposed, and a situation with huge benefits must be created, otherwise the Li family will never easily enter the game.
Even in the collision between the thirteen forces and the Li family, other interested people will covet them. These are risks that Li Wenqing will bear and solve.
If one is not careful, death without a burial place is considered a light thing.
There are countless ways in this world that can make life worse than death. Even for monks, even if you die, there are still countless evil ways that can make you endure endless torture after death.
Until the three souls and seven souls were completely disintegrated and dissipated between the heaven and the earth.

Chapter 126 The Qian Family
Although the county town is large, it is fortunate that there is a road specially designed for carriages to travel quickly. After spending more than an hour, when it was getting dark, they stopped outside a mansion.
"During this period, you can stay at my Qian's house."
After getting off the carriage, Qian Nichang said to Ji Yuan and others.
Before he finished speaking, more than ten maids walked out of the gate in two rows on the left and right, saluted and shouted "Welcome your distinguished guest".
Qian Nishang led everyone inside, followed by more than ten maids along the way. There were four girls at the front, holding the incense burner in one hand and shaking the round fan lightly with the other, so that everyone could smell a faint scent.
fragrance.
After just smelling this fragrance for a few times, a group of people felt that the energy in their bodies surged up and became extremely active. Even the circulation of qi and blood became very smooth.
Based on Ji Yuan's alchemy attainments, he roughly estimated that this kind of incense would cost at least dozens of taels of silver to buy a piece the size of a fingernail.
This made him secretly say that the Qian family was not as good as before, and was even hovering on the edge of ruin. Both its financial resources and strength had fallen to the lowest point.
But with such finesse and pomp, even the richest man in Qianyu City, the Zhao family whose family was wiped out, can't match up even if they try to flatter him.
Not to mention that in a county where land is at a premium, the Qian family’s mansion is several miles in area, even comparable to a neighborhood in Qianyu City!
Along the way, just the design of each courtyard probably costs a lot of money, and I don’t know how much money it will cost to maintain and repair it every year.
"This courtyard never entertains guests, so you can stay here for the time being."
Qian Nichang said with a smile: "If you feel it's too small, just tell Granny Chen."
Grandma Chen is the person in charge of managing the courtyard here. She is standing aside at the moment, waiting for everyone's instructions.
"It's... big enough..."
Hearing this, Ji Yuan's mouth twitched slightly, looking at the courtyard which was more than ten times larger than Xuantian Temple, he didn't know what to say for a moment.
