"My eldest brother doesn't have visitors right now."
Jiang Feng hurried to Wenqu Town in Chixiamen, and saw Dou Jinqiu immediately, but received such a reply. His red pupils flickered, as if he was in trouble.
"Is it because of the demon shadow?"
Jiang Feng was in a hurry to do something and didn't want to be polite to him. Moreover, Dou Jinqiu's body had completely recovered. The spiritual energy around him pulsated when he breathed, and there seemed to be signs of a breakthrough in his cultivation.
"So you already knew." Dou Jinqiu's brows trembled. He originally thought that Jiang Feng was just a Xuan-level leader of a small sect and didn't know about these important matters related to Earth-level monks. Now it seems that he has underestimated him.
"I am here precisely for this matter, and also to help the Changning Chamber of Commerce gain the opportunity to enter the Jincheng Sect's business." Jiang Feng went straight to the topic and told everything about his plan.
After Su Liqing mentioned the demonic shadow's troubles for the Jincheng sect's prefecture-level monks, Jiang Feng suddenly remembered that Dou Jinqiu's eldest brother, Dou Jinfan, the shopkeeper of the Changning Chamber of Commerce, was also a prefectural-level junior cultivator. During the current crisis of the demonic shadow snatching the inner elixir,
Next, I also have this problem. If we can communicate with each other and let Dou Jinfan come to Jincheng Faction, and the two sides can help each other and overcome the shadow crisis together, wouldn't it be a good thing? It will not only solve the problems of both parties, but also enhance understanding through cooperation. Changning
The Chamber of Commerce took the opportunity to enter the Jincheng faction and it was a natural progression.
Su Liqing naturally agreed with joy, saying that at this time, he could win over a prefecture-level junior monk to share some of his energy. It was a dream, so he immediately agreed.
"This is a souvenir. With this, you can see Su Liqing directly."
Jiang Feng took out a golden token as big as his palm. It was carved with dragons and phoenixes, which was very vulgar. However, judging from the brushwork, it seemed that it was not mass-produced. Perhaps it was hand-carved by someone close to Su Liqing in his spare time.
With this plan in mind, after a stick of incense, Jiang Feng met Dou Jinfan as he wished. The other person was obviously much more enthusiastic than last time, and his earth-level aura was still restrained and hidden, without showing any emotion.
"Thank you, Master Jiang, for the introduction."
In the spacious square hall, there is also a young monk who is sipping spiritual tea. He is dressed in blue, has a handsome face, and flying sword eyebrows. He looks like a dragon and a tiger. Unlike Dou Jinqiu, his aura is all out, even with Jiang Feng.
Even from a distance of more than ten steps, you can deeply feel the cold light that stings your skin.
The demonic aura around the young monk was light and he seemed to be a monk in the early stages of human race's golden elixir.
"No, no, my relationship with your brother Jinqiu doesn't need to be long." Seeing that Dou Jinfan had no intention of introducing the young monk, and after chatting for a few words, Jiang Feng took the initiative to leave and returned to the hotel to wait for Dou Jinqiu.
The specific matters of cooperation with the Changning Chamber of Commerce still had to be discussed with Dou Jinqiu. Although the other party could not make the final decision, there was no difference in cultivation and the previous life-and-death friendship made the conversation smoother.
Dou Jinqiu arrived late, half an hour later than Jiang Feng expected.
"Don't worry about the matter in Donghu County, I will give you a satisfactory explanation."
Dou Jinqiu asked someone to replace the slightly cool spirit tea with the secret "striped nine-antlered deer" barbecue. This low-level monster living in the river valley area has tender meat that melts in your mouth. It is the favorite of the monks in Yanqiling.
One, when Jiang Feng came to visit last time, it was not displayed at the banquet. Now it is placed in front of the two of them, chatting while eating, and it is full of feelings.
"Okay." Jiang Feng originally wanted to talk about some details, but the other party's "satisfactory explanation" made him stop the urge to say more, "How about it, has your elder brother agreed to go to the Jincheng Sect?"
"No problem, we'll leave tomorrow morning."
"That person? I mean people, who is it?"
"The second shopkeeper of the Fulou Chamber of Commerce." Dou Jinqiu did not mention his name, but he still added, "He is also the only golden elixir monk in the Fulou Chamber of Commerce. He has been with my eldest brother for this period of time, and it is not because of the demon shadow.
.”
"oh."
Jiang Feng nodded slightly at the Fulou Chamber of Commerce. He had never heard of this chamber of commerce. It has a Jindan monk, which is about the same level as the Changning Chamber of Commerce. In other words, it can also be introduced to the Qianshan Sect, even though the other party is a human race.
But Jiang Feng had no ethnic grudges in his heart, but it seemed that the Dou brothers had no intention of introducing him.
Jiang Feng was still a little defensive in his heart. Jiang Feng secretly thought that although the Changning Chamber of Commerce looked down upon the "vegetarian food" of the Qianshan Sect, it was unwilling to share it with others. In this way, the current situation of the Chamber of Commerce was even worse than what he had seen last time.
The difference is probably due to the fact that he failed to defect to the new master Chixiamen.
"Actually, the Jincheng Sect is not as simple as you think."
Seeing that the topic was a little awkward, Dou Jinqiu took the initiative to chat about other topics. In fact, he did not mind recommending the second shopkeeper of the Fulou Chamber of Commerce to Jiang Feng, but his elder brother Dou Jinfan secretly told him so, so he must have a reason. He is a bit weak by nature, even
I know I am a bit cowardly, but this does not hinder me. Many times I am freed from the trouble of making decisions, and I am happy to do it.
"how to say?"
As the western neighbor of the Jincheng Sect, Jiang Feng had some knowledge of it. However, he naturally welcomed the opportunity to obtain more information.
In terms of past external policies, the Jincheng Sect has always been a sect that the Qianshan Sect has paid close attention to, but has deliberately avoided close contact with. The Jincheng Sect is the largest and most powerful demon sect among the Seven Alliances, so it must always pay attention to its trends. Therefore, the Jincheng Sect
Even during the most difficult period of the sect, the other courtyards were not dismantled; and the natural conditions and spiritual vein distribution here were much better than those of the Qianshan Sect. In order to avoid the outflow of laymen and monks caused by contact, the eastern part of the Qianshan Sect was separated from the Qianshan Sect.
Some of the fine land bordering it has been deliberately abandoned, and Yuanyi Town is the only remaining window.
"On the surface, the Jincheng Sect has three prefecture-level monks, but there are actually four, including one newly promoted prefecture-level monk."
One more person added?
And he is new. Is this why Su Liqing is nervous?
"But it's not that the Jincheng Sect can't have more prefecture-level monks. This is the result of Su Liqing's deliberate control."
"Why did he do this?"
"Su Liqing has no sons, only six daughters, and his cultivation level is no more than Xuan level. For the sake of his posthumous affairs, he deliberately found a way to control the number of earth-level monks in the sect. Guess how many Xuan-level monks there are in the Jincheng sect?"
The number of four prefecture-level people, if considered according to the usual "one in ten" rule, would naturally be forty. The reason why Dou Jinqiu asked himself to guess was that it must be far more than this number, but it couldn't be too outrageous.
"Sixty?"
"Seventy-five, and they have been exposed before, and there are countless hidden ones." Dou Jinqiu reported an astonishing number, "Brother Jiang, have you been to the coast of the Beihuang tribe?"
Northern Wilderness Tribe?
Jiang Feng didn't know why Dou Jinqiu suddenly mentioned this. He only knew that the Northern Wilderness tribe was in the far north. It was originally together with the Western Wilderness tribe and was called the "Great Wilderness". Later, the Red Dragon Gate rose up and cut it off, creating the Northern Wilderness.
and Xihuang. Its location is further north than the Huati Gate. It is severely cold all year round. Monsters and humans live together, and spiritual veins and monks are extremely rare.
"Is there anything worthy of attention on the coast there?"
"iceberg!"
Dou Jinqiu's red eyes shone slightly, "Looking from a distance, the iceberg looks huge, impactful, and terrifying, but the underwater part of the iceberg is actually wider, more ferocious, and more shocking."
"understood."
Although Jiang Feng has never seen an iceberg, he also understands Dou Jinqiu's metaphor of "iceberg under water". In order to prevent the heir from being suppressed by other non-relative earth-level monks in the sect, it is not difficult to deliberately find a way. The simplest way is to strictly control the practice.
Resources limited the number of earth-level monks, but retained an astonishing number of mysterious-level groups, whose strength was hidden.
Jiang Feng originally thought that the three earth-level monks were the key point for the Jincheng Sect to become the largest demon sect in the Seven Alliances. Now it seems that the numerous Xuan-level monks are the basis for its dominance.
This also understands why Su Liqing agreed to Jiang Feng's suggestion, and was delighted now that he thought about it, introducing an earth-level monk to help prevent the shadow crisis, because the external earth-level monk would not affect the authority of his fragile heir.
There are bound to be chambers of commerce in the Jincheng Sect, as well as monks of considerable strength at the prefecture level, but the long-term integration has resulted in an intricate relationship between them and the monks they belong to, and they have already formed a community of interests. On the contrary, outsiders will be more trustworthy for the time being.
Maybe there were two of them. Jiang Feng thought of the handsome-looking man who the Dou brothers had never recommended to him, the second shopkeeper of the Fulou Chamber of Commerce, the Human Race Golden Elixir cultivator.
…………
Chixiamen, Huangshui City, the sky is clear and the city is peaceful.
Zeng Baoxian came to the ancient city of Yanqiling for the first time as the leader. He was very familiar with this city. Every wide or narrow street, every man-made lake view, every place of the Yanqi family.
The private residence is vivid in my mind and engraved in my heart, because before he inherited the position of head, he was used as a hostage here, a chess piece who could move freely but could not leave.
Ah!
He smiled in his heart and gently erased those unpleasant days twenty years ago. The ignorant boy had faded away in his memory and was no longer him.
He had just met with more than a dozen gang leaders and family patriarchs who wanted to defect to him, as well as the wall leaders who had defected earlier but were unable to meet him in person. He saw those people trembling, embarrassed, and at a loss for what he was doing casually.
, he felt quite satisfied. Even the stains on the hem of the red python's golden robe that were accidentally stained last night were too lazy to use the cleaning charm to clean them.
"Dugu, how did things go?" He didn't look back and casually placed the splash-ink plum blossom folding fan on the desk, waiting for the other party's answer.
"The fourteen-bead mother array plate was prepared yesterday. I ordered you to go down and try it out. For safety, I prepared two sets."
"After confirming that the mutual tracking effect can be achieved when the spiritual energy is thin, the person can be killed."
"Yes, just to drive the array, at least eight people are needed. We don't have that many Xuan-level monks to enter the valley at the moment. There are only four Xuan-level warrants assigned to us."
"Don't worry about this. The Entry Token only recognizes cards, not people. Has the distinguished guest I invited arrived?"
"We have arrived. Due to the matter just now, we were unable to invite him. He is waiting outside. Elder Liu is accompanying him. This person is only at the Xuan level. Is there anything worthy of the master's attention?"
"You don't understand. I have known this person for a long time, when we were still in Huangshui City."
"I know my mistake." Seeing Zeng Baoxian mentioning this city that once made him feel dusty, Dugu's black robe trembled a little, but he didn't understand why the leader rejected his previous suggestion to change the name of the city.
"It doesn't matter, it's all to prepare a big gift for our neighbor, otherwise I wouldn't look for him. You have a special status, so stay away for a while."
After half a stick of incense, a fat young monk followed Elder Liu's guidance and walked leisurely into the room where Zeng Baoxian was visiting. After talking for half an hour, he left in a swaggering manner.
"Should we kill him?"
The black-robed man named Dugu spoke with anger. He looked at the nanmu chair that was crushed by the opponent's body, the flowers used to decorate the room that were broken into pieces, and the spiritual tea that was randomly spilled on the ground. Murderous intent loomed.
The young monk's crazy and unreasonable behavior made him want to stand up from behind the screen more than once and kill the opponent on the spot.
"He can help us, but his impatience will ruin his big plans. Moreover, he found you, but he just didn't tell you."
"Can he help us contact the four monks who are working for us?" When Zeng Baoxian mentioned that the other party had discovered his invisibility, Dugu's anger dissipated a lot.
"That's right. Remember his name, Li Dazang. He is useful to us, and he will be useful for a long time. His arrogance also depends on the person. It is nothing more than ordering more spiritual stones."
"Don't even think about killing him, or even following him!"
Zeng Baoxian added emphatically, "This man's background is far more complicated than you and I imagined, although I don't understand why, given his status, he would be running around for a few spiritual stones."
I want to talk about "Ten Generations of Leaders" with more like-minded people," talk about life and find confidants~
