In the remote town of Zhanchuan, in the late autumn and early winter, five or six merchants from the Qi League came uninvited, and because they purchased a large amount of the local specialty "Kuijiao cattle", the price increased by 30% compared to before.
The reason is the same. The Seven Leagues and Tianlimen in the east are at war. With the war, soaring prices are inevitable. Businessmen with a keen sense of smell will naturally not let go of rare business opportunities.
This is a great thing.
Civil strife among neighbors will result in losses regardless of victory or defeat. Recuperating after the war will weaken the strength to some extent, which will naturally increase the safety factor of the neighboring Qianshan Sect. The protection of the Yao Clan's feudal clan system, for the Qianshan Sect, there are only five remaining
In ten years, not to mention the powerful Li Sect in the west, the Yufeng Sect in the northwest, and even the Jincheng Sect, the larger Yao Sect of the Seven Leagues, were enough to feed the Qianshan Sect. Even though the territory was only slightly larger than the Qianshan Sect, the
The abundance of resources, the number of citizens, and the level of cultivation of the monks are far superior to the Qianshan Sect in all aspects.
As Biyun Sect, the largest human sect among the Seven Alliances, it should be at a disadvantage in terms of strength in a head-to-head confrontation with Tianli Sect. However, the power of the entire Seven Alliances is much greater than that of Tianli Sect. Tianli Sect and the Luoying Sect of the Seven Alliances, Ancient Sword
The two sects are bordering each other and the war is going on. If the two families are facing the front line, they will most likely send troops to help Biyun Sect. Therefore, the probability that Tianli Sect can gain the upper hand is low. Of course, the worst case scenario is that Tianli Sect wins, then maybe...
Thinking of this, Jiang Feng quickly picked up a branch and roughly drew a sand table showing the relative positions of the seven alliances on the ground. This detail does not matter. If the Tianli Sect wins, the human clan Luoying clan and the demon clan Yanqi will be destroyed.
Ridge, then Qianshan Sect is probably directly bordering Tianlimen.
Breaking into a cold sweat, Tianli Sect is not restricted by the clan system of the demon clan.
The situation is worse than expected, so I'm glad.
Although this possibility is unlikely, if the coalition of seven sects cannot win against the power of one sect, there is only one possibility: the three demon clan sects, especially the largest demon sect within the seven alliances, the Jincheng sect, will sit back and watch this possibility.
Very big, after all, it has been protected by the patriarchal system for a hundred years, and it is not directly adjacent to Tianlimen.
If there are "big brothers" from outside the region involved, such as the Wei State in the south of the Seven Alliance, the Yufeng Sect in the northwest, or even the great human country Qi in the east, then the future situation will be even more unpredictable.
The deduction could not continue, and there was very little information in hand. Maybe she could ask for help from "Black Donkey Zhang" Yu Xiaoman. Calculating the time, she should return from Qimeng's store, so she changed to go to Dayi County first.
He planned to abandon his official career and go straight to Zhenwu City.
…………
"Long time no see." In just half a month, "Black Donkey Zhang" merged with a nearby Lingcao store. The overall layout was much wider, and an additional compartment was opened, which was simply separated by silk curtains. It was very close to a big store.
"Front shop and back home" took shape.
Jiang Feng arrived at this time and caught up with Yu Xiaozheng.
"Why didn't you go to Dayi County to sit in court?"
"Speaking of which, I have to thank you," Yu Xiaozheng smiled, feeling a little radiant, "The second shopkeeper you found is good, and the guy is also smart, which is in line with my dream of being a shopkeeper."
"No need to thank me, just pay more." There were no customers in the store, so Jiang Feng just leaned on the counter and asked in a low voice, "Let me ask you, what is going on at Qimeng?"
"You've asked the right person." Yu Xiaozheng was extremely bored, "Let me tell you..."
"Let him in," Yu Xiaoman's voice came from the separate room, "Xiao Zheng, please stop talking nonsense."
"Okay," Yu Xiaozheng spread his hands, indicating that I had tried my best, grabbed Jiang Feng who was about to leave, and whispered, "I heard that that clever guy is your maid, can you sell it to me later?"
Jiang Feng didn't answer. He smiled and patted Yu Xiaozheng on the shoulder. It sounded like the maid Zheng Keyi was doing a good job in Dayi County affairs. Although being favored by Yu Xiaozheng didn't mean much, she still did a good job of hiding her identity.
It did not reveal the foundation of the Qianshan Sect, but her qualifications were mixed with the six dharma, and the road to the great road was more difficult than Ding Lingyun. However, at least her character was more than a little stronger than the latter who ran away because of fear of hardship.
"You are hurt?"
Yu Xiaoman did not wear the daily gauze skirt today, but a short life dress, revealing her delicate calves, which is quite capable. The black gauze still covered her face, and her right arm was wrapped with a thick linen bandage. The whole room was full of
There was a strong smell of medicine. Despite this, her cultivation level had inadvertently been promoted to the ninth level of the spiritual level. It seemed that the family had spent a lot of effort before she went to the Seven Alliances.
"It's nothing serious. I was just attacked by bandits who were passing by. They used soft stone powder."
Soft muscle stone powder is a cheap poison with general toxicity, but it is loved by bandits because it hinders wound healing and makes detoxification troublesome. Jiang Feng also has some stocks on hand. Yu Xiaoman previously took his "Three Five Ones" Righteousness Alliance Order
With the family's strength, it is really easy to find such an antidote, but she insisted on delaying the report. It seemed that she had something special and unspeakable to hide.
"Take this, it might be useful." Jiang Feng unfolded a jade box, revealing ten black mushrooms with very fresh slurry at the fractures, equivalent to half of his inventory.
"Sure enough." Yu Xiaoman just turned his head and glanced casually, seeming to recognize the object, "The Seven Leagues and Tianlimen are fighting. Rumor has it that it is because of the queen ant nest. The queen ant poison you showed me before
Bag, does it come from Stormrage Canyon?"
"yes."
Jiang Feng's throat tightened. He had snatched the Queen Ant's poison sac, which turned out to be the trigger for a melee between the Seven Alliance and Tianli Sect. Although it might be just the last straw that broke the camel's back, this kind of effect was unexpected.
. It can be said that once this matter is exposed, he will only become the target of both sides, and the Asayama Sect will inevitably be passively involved in this melee.
Fortunately, fortunately, the only people who know about this now are Pu Tiexin, Lin Qiaodie and Yu Xiaoman in front of him. They are all trustworthy people with integrity. Suddenly he felt something in his heart, and a spiritual power rolled towards the embroidered a few auspicious clouds.
The silk curtain opened, revealing Yu Xiaozheng who was listening attentively.
"Nothing, nothing, you continue. Sister, you are injured, I am afraid that he will be harmful to you." Yu Xiaozheng explained nonchalantly, quickly disappearing from the sight of the two of them.
"I wonder if I can tell you about the situation of the Seven Alliances?"
"Thank you for the black umbrella mushroom. It is indeed useful to me." Yu Xiaoman nodded slightly and did not accept the jade box. "It is related to the interests of the family, so I can only share part of the information with you. I hope you can understand."
As Ni Dabao of the Lingcong Chamber of Commerce said, knowledge is wealth, and it is related to the future of the sect. Today, let alone the black umbrella mushroom, even if he really took out the spirit stone, Jiang Feng would have to spend this money, but it seems that this "black umbrella"
Spirit Mushroom" did not have any effect. The other party was able to share a small amount of information, mostly for the sake of the "351" token.
"Among the Seven Alliances, Biyun Sect, Luoying Sect, and Lingyun Mountain have already sent troops, and the rest are still waiting and watching. The two sides have already fought outside Stormrage Canyon, and the casualties were not very heavy. Among the other sects, Yanqiling and Gu
The probability of Jianmen sending troops is higher."
"What about the Jincheng Sect and the Chixia Sect?" These two sects are close to the Qianshan Sect, and Jiang Feng is more concerned about their movements. If they are involved in the war and lose, then it is very likely that they will need to cede territory and pay compensation, or even be wiped out and disappear.
The Asayama Sect will also have new neighbors and new relationships to maintain.
"Chixia Sect is very likely to side with Tianli Sect. As for Jincheng Sect, we don't have enough information, but judging from the increase in prices within the Jincheng Sect, it is very likely that they will remain neutral for the time being."
"Chixia Sect stands on the side of Tianli Sect. They are the Demon Sect."
"What about the Demon Sect? The Demon Sect of the Hanshan Sect is not closely related to the Tianli Sect. It is just an exchange of interests. Rumor has it that the Chixia Sect has always had ideas about the Fengling Valley spiritual vein in Yanqiling, but it was hindered by the covenant of the Seven Alliances.
, has just not taken action, and now he is turning to Tianlimen, and most of his plans must be here. Looking at the entire Seven Alliance, and even the peripheral Qianshan Sect, Heishuimen, and Hanshan Sect, there are countless hidden links hidden under the water.
I’m afraid everything will gradually come to light this time.”
"Do you have any information about the Qianshan Sect?"
Secretly thinking about the power of Yu Xiaoman's intelligence network, Jiang Feng's idea of rebuilding the Qianshan Sect's intelligence network became even stronger. Yu Xiaoman accidentally mentioned the Qianshan Sect and the word "hidden link", which made him suddenly wary.
"One month later, the leader of the Hanshan Sect will be promoted to the prefecture-level cultivation dharma conference. Some people want to harm them. It is rumored that many elders of the Qianshan Sect will attend the conference, so some people want to take this opportunity to cause trouble."
The amount of information was huge. Jiang Feng resisted the change in his expression, but his heart was already flooded.
There are two key points. One is that many elders attended the meeting. Only four people knew this secret, including myself. Who revealed the news? The other one is that someone wants to be detrimental to the Asanshan Sect, so who is this person or this force?
?
"Who wants to harm the Qianshan Sect?" Jiang Feng suppressed the turbulent emotions in his heart and avoided showing an inappropriate expression. In "Black Donkey Zhang", he was just an adventurer who loved to buy black and white information.
"I'm sorry to tell you. Why is Fellow Daoist Jiang so concerned about this matter?" You couldn't see Yu Xiaoman's expression, but Yi's body leaned forward slightly, seeming to be suspicious of this question.
"I have settled some land in Qianshan Zongdayi County, and I am worried that it will be affected. In addition, there are two members of the family working in your brother's shop. If the situation changes, it is better to withdraw early and make money.
There must also be a life flower."
"Don't worry, if the situation worsens, Xiao Zheng will ensure their safety." Yu Xiaoman spoke very strictly. Although Jiang Feng's reasons were sufficient, she did not mention anything that should not be disclosed in her words.
Because there is still undigested information on hand, Jiang Feng does not intend to stay in the store. Yu Xiaoman is not the kind of transaction partner who can get information by stalking him. Although the standard magic charms in the store are cheap, the ones he had with Mr. Bai before
The battle has shown that non-standard talismans are the first choice for me who has mediocre combat talents. Now that I have a lot of spiritual stones on hand, I should naturally reconsider the configuration of the spiritual talismans on hand.
There are also non-standard talismans in the "Black Donkey Zhang". Opposite the main entrance is a very beautifully framed "Sacred Tree Running Thunder Talisman". Jiang Feng also used its name to successfully defraud people in Stormrage Canyon, but today's talisman
It seems that there is less spiritual energy, maybe more than just less.
Jiang Feng stayed in front of this treasure for a while. The fifth-level talisman, under the "Linglong Baoguang", should appear obviously purple with an orange halo. This has been verified many times before, but now
What is this blurry green light about? But if you just observe the pattern, it is obviously no different from before.
"Well," an obviously disguised clearing of the voice came from behind, but it was Yu Xiaozheng.
"Brother Jiang, don't you want to see the magical artifacts and talismans? We also have some new miscellanies and popular novels, do you want to read them?"
"Look, I'm watching." Jiang Feng pursed his lips and gestured to the "Sacred Wood Thunder Talisman" on the wall.
"Not for sale."
Cold sweat broke out on Yu Xiaozheng's forehead, "This high-end product is not something we ordinary people can use. Brother Jiang should consider ordinary second-level talismans. We also have third-level talismans."
Jiang Feng returned Yu Xiaozheng's incomprehensible smile and patted his thin shoulder, "You're right, see you later."
After getting the "Black Donkey Zhang", I appraised the miscellaneous second-level and first-level magic weapons on hand at Duobao Pavilion, and kept ten first-level and one second-level ones that were still usable, and changed some of the shapes, which are considered as preparations for next year.
Prepare some luck for the "Martial Arts Competition of Elite Disciples of the Sect" at the beginning of the year. Keep the Silver Spirit Dagger and Cold Iron Dart for yourself, after all, their attributes are pretty good.
Silver Spirit Dagger, a second-level high-grade magic weapon, has attribute 1 [Ghost], when used by a non-living target, it can automatically absorb the spiritual energy of the world and enhance the survival time; attribute 2 [Drinking Spirit], cutting the target will dissipate the spiritual energy in the opponent's body and enhance the survival time.
Grade, but is ineffective against ghosts; attribute three [Advancement], after absorbing spiritual energy, the magic weapon will automatically advance to increase its sharpness after accumulating to a certain level, no more than the third level mid-grade; Attribute four [Spirit Embryo] This dagger is in
After upgrading to the third-level mid-level, there is a chance that a weapon spirit will be born.
Cold iron darts, second-level low-grade magic weapon, remnants, attribute one [wind pressure], when released, it will drive strong wind and slow down the opponent, regardless of whether it hits; attribute two [guidance], when one hits, the other darts will
It has a tracking effect within a hundred steps until it hits any target; attribute three [kit], when the whole set is put together, the sharpness will be enhanced
The former seems to be very suitable for the demon puppet, especially when Jiang Chengzi cannot control him to perform any skills. However, Jiang Chengzi must first improve his cultivation to at least the fifth level of the spirit level before he can freely control the demon puppet. [Spirit Fetus]
The attributes are quite attractive, but I don’t know how difficult it is. If I had to kill 1,800 monks to advance, it would be the same as not having any. Previously, under the observation of "Linglong Baoguang", this magic weapon was slightly abnormal, and
Most of it comes from this.
The cold iron dart is more suitable for me at the moment. When the opponent is chasing me, I can appropriately reduce the opponent's speed. The disadvantage is that it is a remnant item and the [kit] attribute is useless. The second is that once thrown, it will most likely be thrown away.
Including the income from the sale of the magical artifact, I spent an additional fifty second-level coins to buy a third-order mid-grade Ruyi-shaped magical artifact. It was regarded as a gift for participating in the Hanshan Sect Dharma Conference. Since it has been stated at the elders' meeting, this
You have to pay for it yourself, so you can't break your promise. Although the attributes of the magic weapon are very poor, the advantage is that the grade is still good enough to be used. Counting the previous shots, there are only three and a half third-level weapons left on hand.
There is no need to increase the combat power of Hanshan Sect disciples. Enemies are simply digging their own graves. Jiang Feng knows this better than anyone else. Although Qianshan Sect is surprisingly poor in resources, it is better than the bitter cold land of Hanshan Sect. If Hanshan Sect is the leader,
Mentuo Batu had no desire to covet him, but Jiang Feng didn't believe it.
Under the protection of the patriarchal system for fifty years, as long as they do not start a war lightly, the demon clan cannot take the initiative to make plans for themselves. When they destroyed the Songhu Sect, the human Wei Kingdom was still the main force, and the Seven Alliance and Qianshan Sect only used it secretly.
Just drink soup.
By the way, who is planning on the Asayama Sect?
Coming out of Duobao Pavilion, I met Yu Xiaozheng again who was in a hurry.
"What a coincidence." Jiang Feng caught him. Yu Xiaoman, who was very strict with his words, was not here at this time, so Jiang Feng planned to get some information out of him. "I was about to go back to find you, and you showed up."
"What are you looking for me for?" Yu Xiaozheng was busy doing errands when he was caught by a stranger. He was about to resist when he realized it was Jiang Xiaobai. "Have you thought clearly? Transfer the maid to me?"
"That's more or less what it means. There may be wars on the left and right. Maybe your place is safer. I have to deal with the land early and don't have time to take care of her."
"That's right, but you are a little too worried. The possibility of war is unlikely, and the land is not in a hurry to sell. Chixiamen is not that strong. The Seven Alliances are in a mess now, and they may not cooperate with them."
"Having said that, if they start with the Qianshan Sect, it will still happen. Then it will be difficult to find a home for the land in Dayi County." Jiang Feng was secretly happy. It turned out that the culprit was Chixiamen.
But the play went on as it was.
"Impossible, they can't recruit men. A weakling like the Qianshan Sect can be done with just a few Xuan levels. There is no need to use the monks' battle array. Most of them are still in the Hanshan Sect. It is said that Tuoba Tu has no objection."
"That's true." Jiang Feng agreed, but secretly complained in his heart. The key point of this information is that Hanshan Sect is probably also in the ranks of dealing with Qianshan Sect, or has tacit approval. "By the way, can you get some money?
"
"Of course, I understand the rules." Yu Xiaozheng stretched out three fingers on his right hand, "How about thirty first-order coins? I will never treat my brothers badly."
Jiang Feng said nothing and stretched out his hand to press Yu Xiaozheng's middle finger back.
"Twenty? Brother Jiang, you're welcome. Buying out a free agent usually requires this amount."
"No, I mean twenty level three."
"What?" Yu Xiaozheng opened his mouth so wide that he could eat an egg, "Did I hear you right? How can you, a maid who has not awakened to the Dharma, be worth so much money? Love is worth gold and jade?"
"If you don't agree, forget it. See you later."
Jiang Feng had already obtained the information, and his first priority was to seize the time to go out and study the information. How could he chat with him? Taking advantage of Yu Xiaozheng's surprised moment, he squeezed into the bustling crowd and disappeared.
…………
"Akamon Gate?"
Pu Tiexin's hand rubbed his chin covered with thick black beard for a long time, as if he was searching for all the clues in his memory. It wasn't until he broke a few strands that he finally got a clue.
"To be honest, I don't know much about him. I only know that Zeng Baoxian, the head of the Chixia Sect, has a cultivation level around the third level of the earth level. His Dharma is a weapon. The details are unknown. Among the heads of the Seven Alliances, his strength is in the middle range."
"By the way, this sect has a well-known secret treasure."
