When I came out of the grocery store, the sun had still not set. I have to say that the communication with Li Dabang was very efficient. This was related to the fact that neither of them had a roundabout style. Jiang Feng was originally worried that he would not be able to come up with a suitable solution.
In exchange for magical weapons or conditions, he can "impress" Li Dabang to help him promote "Xinyuan County". Of course, based on Jiang Feng's consideration, the one Li Dabang can influence the most is Wan Lao Demon Wan Yuting.
However, Jiang Feng was still inexplicably surprised when the other party promised that he could do it and put forward his own conditions.
Do you want me to issue an order of grace to appeal to the Wind Yu Sect, Ruijin Sect and the surrounding sects, and request the Wind Yu Sect and Ruijin Sect to open the qualifications for the "Spiritual Surge Feast" to the surrounding sects and sects?
What kind of rhythm is this?
What exactly is Li Dabang going to do?
This is only the first condition. As for the second condition, after getting the participation quota at the prefecture level, you can meet up with Li Dabang in the "Lingyong Feast" and do something for him.
Presumably the latter is the key, but the former is equally unreasonable. Just imagine that with Li Dabang's prominent background, it should not be difficult to get some admission quotas from Yufeng Sect or Ruijinmen. So, why?
Instead of taking action himself, he asked me to disrupt the situation and then take the quota from me?
Is it possible that it is inconvenient for him to show up in public this time?
Recalling that when he was exploring the relics of Venerable Yuanchu, Li Dabang appeared as a casual cultivator and did not bear the name of any sect. But after all, he had to sign his name and his identity would be exposed. Now, it is difficult to make this special request.
Could it be that he wants to hide his identity further?
If there was only one Xuan-level quota, then Jiang Feng would have one on hand. Chu Yiming gave him three Xuan-level certificates. Now there happened to be one left, but Li Dabang clearly refused. He wanted to take his place this time.
He entered here as a monk of the Asan Mountain Sect. In other words, he may have some ulterior motives and may even cause chaos, but the Asayama Sect will be responsible for the consequences of this chaos?
It was full of conspiracies, and Jiang Feng deliberately refused. However, regarding the matter of "Xinyuan County", Li Dabang guaranteed that he would definitely facilitate the Qing Yu Sect to open the trade route to Xinyuan County. However, Su Liqing, the leader of the Jincheng faction,
He asked for the Black Water Gate's former home, but he was unable to help.
As for the silver grace order needed to convey the message to various sects, he has prepared it for himself and will send someone to Luochuan as soon as possible. For this kind of need, please apply to the Lifan Yuan for a special application. The value of a fourth-level item is worth a lot.
Lingshi, from this point of view, he is quite sincere.
At the same time, it also shows that Li Dabang has already begun to miss him. Such things can only be done in the name of the sect through favors and orders. Presumably, in Li Dabang's heart, he should be the best person to do this.
Good candidate.
The "Spiritual Feast" will be opened on the tenth day of October. It can be entered within three days and lasts for ten days. Time is imminent, and the matter of the Black Water Gate's hometown has not been settled yet, so the arrangements are a bit tense. Jiang Feng walked out of the alley.
Going straight to the Yu family, he must confirm the progress of the Yu family on this matter as soon as possible. When he was in the Chu family, when dealing with Bai Ruoxi's matter, Chu Yilin once mentioned that the Yu family declined the Chu family's participation. Originally, the Chu family wanted to
Together with the Bai family, they worked with the Yu family to persuade the higher-ups to get involved in the matter, but the Yu family said they had other ideas.
There are other ideas... What exactly are they? Do they want to be alone? As one of the five most powerful sects in the surrounding sects, what different ideas will they have, and what conditions will they put forward?
…………
Chixiamen, on the outskirts of Huangshui City.
This is the old house of the Sun family. Since the Sun family, like the Ye family, became prosperous because of the inexplicable secret, it has been abandoned early. However, Ye Mo accidentally found out that this house used to be the head of the Sun family, Sun Tianfang, that is, that person.
A place where people who sold secrets to Chixiamen in exchange for life-sustaining elixirs would occasionally visit during their lifetimes.
There was absolutely no need for him to come to this remote place. Although there were still a small number of Sun family elders who stayed here and refused to leave, as far as Ye Mo knew, the relationship between these people and Sun Tianfang was not close.
There may be secrets here that he has hidden for many years. For example, where is the mysterious Immortal Cave? He does not believe that these four heads of families can easily find that place every time based solely on their memory.
There is a map, no matter how rough it is.
This is completely unreasonable.
When the rabbit was up and the falcon was about to fall, he relied on his cultivation that had been promoted to foundation building to avoid the ordinary eyes that were still not resting at night, and penetrated into every corner of the old house, the study, the storage room, the warehouse, every possibility.
Ye Mo carefully checked every corner and even the abandoned ancestral hall. Occasionally, he secretly took out the strange little note from his second uncle and checked it out, hoping to find something that resonated. However,
Two hours passed and nothing was found.
He was about to give up, but he discovered a strange place. This was a woodshed that had been abandoned for many years. It was originally locked, and there was an earthen stove inside. The ashes were cold and accumulated thickly, but they had not been cleaned.
, Ye Mo's inspiration suddenly touched him, and he stretched out
His hand reached into the ashes that had accumulated half a foot, and after a while, he took out a small figure made of clay. The figure had a rough face, but he could see the expression of laughter, like a child playing.
But Ye Mo didn't think so, because the burn marks on the little man were not obvious, and it should have been deliberately hidden here.
The texture was extremely brittle, and Ye Mo easily crushed the native into pieces. A crumpled piece of papyrus rolled up in one place appeared. He quickly unfolded it, but saw that various patterns were randomly drawn on it, without any structure at all.
It looked like any regular pattern, Ye Mo was stunned, could it be that I was overthinking it?
No, that's not right! Ye Mo reached out his hand again and dug into the ashes of the cold stove. Soon, he touched another clay figure deeper in. This clay figure was obviously different from the one just now. It was much more refined. It was the same trick.
After applying it again, Ye Mo got a picture again, but this time, it looked different.
I see.
Ye Mo looked at the route marked above and confirmed his guess, thinking that this might be the location of the Immortal Cave. However, he did not leave just like that. Instead, he used his spiritual power slightly to explore again in the ashes until there was nothing left.
After discovering this, he gave up, found some cold water, mixed some yellow mud, made two clay figures, put them back into the ashes, and then left quietly.
The Sun family indeed left a way out for themselves, but it was a pity that the head of the Sun family, Sun Tianfang, accidentally became speechless because of revealing the secret and failed to tell his family the secret in time. Ye Mo thought to himself, by now, he has roughly figured out where that place is.
The location, given time, and the cultivation level is further improved, you can explore it safely.
The cold wind blows on my face, bringing a bit of the coldness of late autumn.
Ye Mo shuddered, but his inspiration was touched again. In just a few breaths, he realized that he had been followed. How could it be possible? He wasn't there when he came. Is it possible that his cultivation level is much higher than mine?
Ye Mo tried to get rid of it, but found that the stalker was lingering, and he was from the Chixia Sect? He felt a drum in his heart. If the second uncle was worthy of belief, then the person who came could only be someone from the Chixia Sect.
After all these years, they still haven't given up. Thinking like this, he discovered that there was another stalker.
not good!
He immediately smelled the extreme danger, but he didn't dare to linger at all. He quickly took three steps and two steps at a time, and flew towards the northeast. He decided to deal with the opponent for another half an hour. If he still couldn't get away, then
He can only turn to the organization for help, which means that he can no longer keep the secret of this fairy cave alone.

"There is no secret, I can tell you directly."
In Yu Xiaozheng's mansion, "Seventh Uncle" Yu Chengke said bluntly. Next to him sat the stern-faced "Fourth Uncle" Yu Chengrui, and the "Sixteenth Uncle" with a kind face and a smile.
Yu Chengtong, these three people are the key figures of the Yu family in Zhenwu City.
"Our strategy is to communicate directly with Su Liqing. The Yu family has some properties in the Seven Leagues that can be exchanged, and he must give Lizong the face." Yu Chengke was quite confident about this, "But once we succeed, Jiang
Leader, you must also come up with suitable conditions."
"What are your conditions?"
"Of course, we won't eat up all of Xinyuan County's thirty-year franchise. We can leave you a 20% share for your cooperation with others." He turned to look at Yu Chengrui, "Chengrui,
How about it, thirty years is enough for us to get some benefits, right?"
"Forty years is more secure." Yu Chengrui gave even more stringent conditions, "The hometown of Blackwater Gate is a swamp, and there is a lot of investment here, not only in terms of personnel, but also in terms of reputation. If you want to pass this
The trade route makes more money, and the initial investment is essential. To be honest, I don't agree with you. The trade route on the Li Zong side goes to sea through the three sects of the West Sea, and the profit is much greater. But from a strategic perspective
Consider it, it will be of some benefit to our business. However, as you mentioned, Mr. Jiang, binding Beimu County and Tuqiao Town to this Xinyuan County, our Yu family is not very interested. We have some layout in Dayi County
, is enough, but the business of each sect of the Seven Alliance still depends on the layout of Chixia Sect, and the layout of Qianshan Sect is somewhat smaller."
"In other words, you are unwilling to participate in these two locations?"
"That's the case for the time being. However, if our cooperation can be successful, we hope that we can enjoy the same preferential conditions reached with other chambers of commerce or sects and your sect in the Qianshan Sect."
Do you want to share the benefits equally, but you cannot make any concessions on Xinyuan County? I have to say that this condition is a bit harsh. Thirty years of franchise means that I can hardly make any progress, and can only sit back and watch the other party make profits.
, and with only 20% of the share left, it is not enough for him to attract the Changning Chamber of Commerce and the Fulou Chamber of Commerce.
"Isn't 30% okay?"
"We can't talk about this. We have to take risks, and it takes a lot to convince Su Liqing." Yu Chengrui refused. Although Yu Chengke is the person with the highest cultivation level here, it seems that the fourth uncle has the final say in business matters.
"What is the probability of success?"
"Not necessarily, but we will try our best to do it, and we are very fast. We will know within three days." Yu Chengrui said. After he finished speaking, he looked at Yu Chengke and Yu Chengtong, guessing that this kind of "communication" matter,
It’s not him who does it, but the latter two who execute it.
Soon...
What Jiang Feng lacks now is time. On the one hand, because there is a possibility of tipping off the enemy, Su Liqing is likely to detect his intentions at any time. Even if not, he, who is old and cunning, may still get a whiff based on the "public opinion".
On the other hand, he has agreed to Li Dabang's conditions in exchange for the smooth flow of the trade route in the southern part of Xinyuan County. And this smooth flow is also his promise to the Yu family. Otherwise, the Yu family would not be able to exclusively operate the business for only thirty years.
If you want to "persuade" Su Liqing about this kind of thing, it may take sixty years or even longer, or you won't even care about him at all.
However, the conditions of the Yu family are too harsh. In addition to gathering some popularity and collecting taxes and fees for temporary storage of materials in Zhanchuan Town, Jiang Feng could not imagine what benefits he would gain from this. More importantly, the other party
He refused the request to help him clean up the mess in Beimu County and contribute to Tuqiao Town.
what should I do?
Suddenly he was inspired, so he took advantage of urinating to get out of the hall, found a secluded place alone, and took out the "Thousand Mile Sun Mirror", which was the message Zheng Yiyu had sent. About his coming to Zhenwucheng, Zheng Yiyu
I know, he must have arrived in Nuangu County, which is slightly closer to here, in order to deliver the message.
"Madam, the message is from Fulou Chamber of Commerce."
In just a few words, the amount of information is not much, but it is enough. In Wenqu Town, Chixiamen, I, Dou Jinqiu of Changning Chamber of Commerce, and Liang Pusheng of Fulou Chamber of Commerce, also mentioned the plan of "Xinyuan County"
, if the "Fu Lou Chamber of Commerce" is on good terms with Su Liqing, then they are likely to be the informants of the "change of sects into alliances" incident, and they may also have a "heart-to-heart talk" with Su Liqing after mentioning it to discuss whether there are better conditions.
, can make them betray themselves.
But Su Liqing would probably refuse.
This is Jiang Feng's view, because even in Jiang Feng's view, Fulou Chamber of Commerce has lost its value due to "changing the sect into an alliance" and "Lingcong Chamber of Commerce taking over the Seven Alliances", and Su Liqing cannot give them favorable conditions.
, that is to say, Liang Pusheng is likely to get nothing. Since he doesn't get it, he will not betray himself directly, but it will give the shrewd Su Liqing a warning.
For Su Liqing, who has a keen sense of smell, a warning is enough.
Jiang Feng returned to the hall. Before he could sit down, he said bluntly, "Let's sign an agreement, but if things don't work out, the agreement will not take effect. How about that?"
"Of course." Yu Chengke was quite confident about this and showed an ugly straight smile, "I hope we can have a happy cooperation. When Chengtong and Xiaoman return from Thousand Illusions, we will explore the ruins together."
Thousand Illusions? Yu Chengtong and Yu Xiaoman are also going to the "Spiritual Feast"?
Exploring the ruins? Jiang Feng remembered the Haitang Sanren Mansion mentioned by Yu Xiaoman before. It turned out that the prefecture-level monk sent by the Yu family was actually Yu Chengtong. Unexpectedly, he was proficient in formations, but he didn't realize it. Originally, he thought that the formation master or the alchemist
Most of the weapon masters like to dress like Confucian scholars, such as Shangguan Boliang, Cai Qiuzhen, and the worst, like Fang Jinlu, who are like gentle scum, but the Yu Chengtong in front of him is different from them.
"Cheng Tong is familiar with the formation. He will be able to break the formation and protect your safety. However, this trip to the ruins has nothing to do with today's cooperation. We will discuss each matter one by one. Head Jiang must prepare carefully. Originally, you are a Xuan level
, if I find something, I will give you one-sixth of the profit, but now that you have reached the prefecture level, you can get one-fifth."
There seems to be no essential difference. Jiang Feng doesn't have much hope for the cave of an earth-level monk. No matter how many there are, can it surpass the relics of Venerable Yuanchu? The greatest value of this cave is that it can trace the ninth generation of masters.
Let me follow my footsteps, this is the only value.
And this value, he no longer cares about. What he cares about now is how to quickly get the Black Water Gate, and use the opening of trade routes to solve the second war of the Seven Alliances, as well as the failure of his own suicide attack on Sun Baotai.
The negative impact. Although the Yu family has made a promise, the conditions are too harsh, but this straw cannot be given up easily now.
However, he was a little worried that the means mentioned by the Yu family would not work. Time was running out and he had to come up with another plan as soon as possible. Because Su Liqing was likely to know his purpose in advance.
…………
Jincheng Sect, God Bless City.
In the early morning, Su Liqing disguised himself as usual and saw a masked person in a teahouse with flags and flags fluttering. In just a few breaths, he already clearly understood the clues provided by the visitor and the meaning behind them.
Sure enough!
Since Liang Pusheng of Fulou Chamber of Commerce had met Jiang Feng before, it was obvious that Su Liqing immediately decided to take action first and take the initiative in his own hands.
