Chapter five hundred and twenty second careful contact
Gold-shelled jade dragon lizard.
A third-level monster has a chance of advancing to the next level as an adult. It can cast "Flame Thunder" to bombard targets within ten feet in front of it. The effect is between the third-level and fourth-level golden light talisman. Its power is average; it can be changed.
The form covers the surface of the monk's body and has no conflict with other magic weapons. During the covering period, it can be integrated with the surrounding environment and is not easy to be detected. It can avoid the ordinary prying eyes of ordinary pseudo-heaven-level monks of the same level. During the covering period, it can absorb the fire element.
Attacks from other people will be gathered on the scales. When a certain number is accumulated, the scales will fall off. If there are more than eight, the covering and concealment effects will be automatically lifted. The scales can be used as auxiliary materials for weapon refining, and there is a probability of increasing "Yu Ni".
"Effect, increases the effect of the stealth skills attached to the magic weapon itself, but it can only be effective when added when refining the weapon.
"Can this monster hide in the water?" This question is what Jiang Feng is most concerned about, but there is no record of it in the atlas. Just imagine that if there is a melee, it will probably happen at the edge of the fog sea, or in the Qianlong Bay area, in the vast surrounding area.
It is water, and the best hiding place is of course in the water. Although Jiang Feng has some fighting ability with the help of the ancient treasure Eternity Tower, he is not arrogant enough to think that he can fight with a group of pseudo-celestial and Yuanying monks.
"It can last for half an hour. The water quality of the dragon lizard is not very good." The shopkeeper knew this very well.
It is a little shorter, but while the dragon lizard is wrapped, there is no restriction on movement. You should be able to stay away from the center of the battlefield and escape to an unnoticed position, unless someone locks you at the beginning. Of course, this possibility is not small.
, but there is still the method provided by Cai Qiuzhen to continue, so it should not be a big problem.
"Can the fee be negotiated?" The rental fee of half a fourth-level coin for seven days is indeed expensive. Although Jiang Feng feels a little pained, it is not unacceptable.
"No, if this is your second time renting a monster at Lingxiang Residence, you can get a 10% discount. Moreover, half a fourth-level coin for seven days is only the rental fee. In order to avoid unnecessary losses, you need to pay a deposit of two fourth-level coins.
.”
It's so expensive, are you sure you're not robbing money? Jiang Feng almost shouted, but he still squeezed his palms to relieve the discomfort in his heart. Although there are twenty-six kinds of monsters on the list, this one is indeed the most powerful.
A suitable one, but paying such a large deposit is indeed not among my default choices. "Are there any other conditions?"
"If scales are generated during use, we can pay five third-level recycling for each scale. In addition, the owner of the monster needs to meet with you before leasing it."
"Do you still want to have an interview?"
"Yes. In this list, there are six kinds of monsters provided by this senior. He is our largest source of supply. Therefore, we cannot refuse the additional conditions he proposed."
"Who is the master of the monster?"
"We can only reveal his cultivation level, which is in the middle stage of Golden Core. In addition, he is a monk of Tianli Sect."
Tianlimen... Jiang Feng was shocked. What was wrong was that it was Tianlimen. They were really enemies. Besides, Tianlimen had always been unhappy with the demon monks. This business would probably not be successful.
"Dear guest, although the owner of this monster beast comes from the Tianli Sect, he is not as prejudiced against the monster patrons as the ordinary Tianli Sect monks." As if he saw Jiang Feng's hidden worries, the white-bearded shopkeeper couldn't help but explain.
, "Moreover, he does not hold an important position within the sect."
In this way, we can still talk about it, but there are still some unresolved grievances between himself and Tianlimen. I don't know if it will have any impact on this matter. Thinking about this, he glanced at the roster again and confirmed that this monster
There was no place that didn't suit me, so he said, "What time, where, and how do you usually arrange it?"
"The other party will choose the time. According to past experience, it is usually seven days later. The location is up to you, but it cannot be in Qi. Moreover, we need to know your identity so that we can report to the other party."
Do I have to reveal my identity? "Is this necessary?"
"Yes. This is also the rule set by the other party, distinguished guest. I must explain this. Although the owner of this monster does not hold an important public position, he is also one of the top talents in Tianli Sect. Therefore, he is also worried about becoming
It is reasonable for the enemies of Tianlimen to be so cautious. Of course, if you refuse, we can also recommend similar monsters to you. If you are not so picky about time, we should be able to
Made it happen.”
"Is this monk's surname Zhou or Ma?"
"No, it's not the case. Your guest is overly worried." Seeing that Jiang Feng had been struggling with this topic for a long time, the white-bearded shopkeeper deliberately stepped back and made a sound insulation note. Although it was not high-end, it still showed respect.
"I am the head of the Qianshan Sect, and so is Jiang Feng."
"Disrespectful." The shopkeeper, who was originally modest in attitude, looked more respectful and said, "Please take a seat!"
Huh? Why does the head of my small sect pay so much attention to him? Jiang Feng was a little surprised, but he heard the white-bearded shopkeeper say, "Why didn't your distinguished guest tell me earlier? I'm sorry for treating you so lightly."
"You're welcome."
"The Jincheng League where your sect belongs has defeated the three alliances of Tianyin Temple in the south. Recently, the news has spread throughout the Hokuriku. When we heard about it, we originally felt that we had no chance to visit. Now that we can see it, it is truly a blessing."
"So, can the deposit be waived?" Jiang Feng knew that this was a businessman in front of him. When dealing with businessmen, talking about money is the easiest way to distinguish between true and false.
"This is really embarrassing for me." Shopkeeper Whitebeard revealed his flaws at first glance, but the smile still appeared on his face, "My authority is really limited, but I will report it to the boss and apply for one or two for Mr. Jiang, but there is one thing.
If Master Jiang can be accommodating, I think there is still a lot of hope
of."
"What conditions?"
"We, Lingxiangju, intend to open a branch near Guizong's Dongting Town. If we can accommodate one or two, I think it won't be a problem to waive the deposit. Moreover, we can also do business on the 'Golden Shell Jade Neon Dragon Lizard'."
fold."
It turned out to be only 30% off... It seems that although they value the Qianshan Sect, they have not reached the level of flattery. If it were the head of the Li Sect, maybe all this business would be saved. Jiang Feng chuckled in his heart and thought in his heart.
Fortunately, I am self-aware and have not been deceived by your clever words.
"What are the conditions? If we are just opening a branch, Qianshan Sect has rules. Although the conditions are worse, our land rental price has always been the lowest around."
"We will pay the lease fees as usual and pay taxes according to the business conditions of the shop, but we hope to lease an additional larger piece of land as a paddock for raising and domesticating monster beasts, and if it is convenient, it would be better if it can be designated as a restricted area.
"
“Where are the hired hands?”
"Our shop will raise its own staff. Because there are some secrets involved, we cannot hire monks from other sects. Please forgive me."
In this way, there are only lease fees and tax revenue from the shops, but it seems to have no benefit in increasing employment within the sect. In other words, it is only good for myself as the leader. It sounds more like some kind of bribe. Of course,
Jiang Feng has the ability to promote this matter, just like promising to provide Cai Qiuzhen with spiritual land and trial Lingxu. However, there is an obvious difference in the effect between the two. The latter will provide several Lingxu trials for the sect.
The former has no foreseeable benefits other than the income from spiritual stones.
“How much land do you want to lease?”
"Forty thousand acres of wasteland, we can provide a rent of twenty-four three-level coins per year. This price is 20% higher than the rental price set by your clan."
It is indeed high, but the area of wasteland leased by individuals is clearly agreed within the clan and will not exceed two hundred acres. Even if the application is made in the name of the Chamber of Commerce, it will not exceed two thousand acres. This is also to prevent people from hoarding and injuring others.
People's livelihood. Jiang Feng estimated that this amount is equivalent to about a quarter of the available land around Dongting Town, but it must be designated as a restricted area. In this way, for the monks in the sect, there will be no ordinary livelihood.
Benefits, although the more income within the sect, the better, but after the excavation of the spiritual veins near Dongting Town, the stretched situation has been improved. At this time, it is more important to consider a long-term development strategy. Thinking of this, Jiang Feng thought
He has already rejected the other party's request.
"This matter is serious, I think I need to discuss it with the elders in the sect."
"Of course, but if it's convenient, I hope you can give us a reply within a month, because we are also negotiating with the nearby Huanglong Pai Yanlin City."
"Dongting Town is located at the intersection of the four sects. It is obviously more suitable for Lingxiangju, right?" Jiang Feng knew that he was using Yanlin City to bargain. The Huanglong Sect was indeed short of money, but with this price and conditions, it is estimated that
Zuo Zichan wouldn't accept it either. The restricted area was impenetrable to water. Wouldn't it be equivalent to spending a small amount of spiritual stones to build a small sect with no restrictions?
"What Master Jiang said is absolutely true. Dongting Town is indeed the chosen one, so we are still considering it."
"Since you have taken a fancy to Dongting Town, how about making an appointment with this Tianli Sect monk in Dongting Town? I think he won't be afraid of our small sect, right?"
"I don't think so." Shopkeeper Whitebeard handed over a name card, "This is my name card. If there are no other changes, I will accompany this Tianli Sect senior to visit Dongting Town in seven days."
"Okay." Jiang Feng took the name card and saw that the other party's name was written above, Kang Daxin, Ling Xiang Jujia and other shopkeepers, the chief person in charge of the Lizong region.
It seems that this guy can also make some decisions in major matters. Forty thousand acres of wasteland is not impossible to approve, but this condition should be out of the question at the moment. With twenty-four third-level coins, maybe he will accept it without hesitation when he first becomes the leader.
, but obviously I can’t impress myself now.
As for the mysterious Tianlimen monk, he planned to approach it carefully. After all, if he could successfully rent this "gold-shelled jade dragon lizard", it would still be of great help to his Whale Sea Islands and his party, although it would not be a big help.
Perfect.
…………
Southwest of Nanyuanzong, Yuhua Cape.
This place has always been Wei Lanqiu's secluded place. Although there is already a worship sect, she is still reluctant to leave this place because of nostalgia. Although this is contrary to the rule that "anywhere the Nine Elders are born, they cannot take care of it personally"
, but Wei Lanqiu never interfered in any affairs of Nanyuan Sect, so as one of the Nine Old Men, no one has ever questioned her flaw.
In addition, Yuhua Cape is not really big. It only occupies seventy or eighty acres. There is only a second-level spiritual land, which is also pitifully small. On this day, a mysterious guest came here. After talking for a long time, he finally
Leave.
"It's a simple cooperation, but it's a time to gain mutual trust."
There are many figures on the ancient mirror on the desk. They are four monks who are familiar with Wei Lanqiu, two Nascent Souls and two Pseudo Heavens. If Xu Deyang, the Supreme Leader of Ruijin Sect, happens to be present, he should have no problem recognizing them.
It turns out that the latter two are none other than Luo Junji, the head of the Fuhai Sect, and Ling Zhiyun, the supreme head of the Yufeng Sect.
"Fellow Daoist Luo and I originally intended to compete for this heavenly way. I think even if we can't get it, we will prevent them from getting it. This is not a conflict. But will this trigger the people behind them to take action?" One of the Nascent Souls said
He said with some concern.
"There is no need to worry about this. According to the rules, we cannot take action. I will also observe from the sidelines. If they take action or exert influence, I will definitely stop them with all my strength."
end."
"With your words, Senior Wei, we can rest assured."
"Although my question may be a bit redundant, is the person really the envoy of Qi Boyuan?" The person who asked the question was Ling Zhiyun.
"To be precise, they are Ma Zhiyuan's subordinates, but in reality they are the same." Wei Lanqiu explained impatiently. She knew that these joints were very important to these four "subordinates" who were not considered subordinates.
In fact, she had real doubts about the identity of the visitor. After all, the two parties had never cooperated in a real sense in the past. She also confirmed the identity of the other party through her own methods. As for the fact that there had never been any intersection, on the one hand,
It was because his time as the Nine Old Man was too short and his ranking was not high; on the other hand, it was also because he had never thought about joining any of the three forces.
Chief Li Zhenlong, Lu Donglai, and Xu Funing were originally in a superior position. However, after Lu Donglai went to Tianyuan Southern Continent, the strength of this camp declined somewhat, and was even faintly surpassed by Qi Boyuan and Ma Zhiyuan, especially those who had been promoted to Half Saint, but
After Ning Liheng, who has not yet entered the Nine Old Men, joined, the strength of this camp has been further strengthened. Of course, they have suffered a lot recently on the issue of the three sects of the Wei Kingdom. This is also the result of the joint efforts of Jin Shengxi, Song Xianghong, and Qingyu.
What Liu Tingjian did was done with the acquiescence and even secret instigation of Chief Li Zhenlong. As for himself, he originally wanted to be a staunch fence-sitter with Liu Tingjian, Lu Zhimian and Zhu Qianmu, but Zhu Qianmu was surrounded and killed by several factions.
This incident really frightened her. Fortunately, she was already ranked among the Nine Old Men. This kind of thing had never happened in the past.
But that doesn't mean it won't happen in the future.
Lu Zhimian said he was a fence-sitting faction, but he was relatively friendly with Qi Boyuan's faction and had a decent relationship with the chief. Liu Tingjian was friendly with Jin Shengxi's faction. On the other hand, he had not been able to cultivate him because he was in charge of the vassal academy before.
His own power is also relatively alienated from other factions.
However, now someone took the initiative to show their kindness, which somewhat catered to her thoughts. Although ideally, Jin Shengxi's faction was better, on the one hand, she was quite resistant because of Wan Yuting, the Yuzong of the Qing Dynasty. On the other hand, Qi Boyuan
Since one party has taken the initiative, the situation should be more favorable to them. Thinking that they have suffered a hidden loss recently, they should pay more attention to their joining. Thinking about this, Wei Lanqiu's eyes became firmer.
"According to the plan, you only need to interfere with the monks on Li Zhenlong's side, and you can directly snatch it from Jin Shengxi's side, but I personally hope that you can get it. As for the method to prevent the side effects of this heavenly way, I will provide it to you in time."
"yes!"
Those figures immediately dissipated, and the ancient mirror suddenly blurred. Dense water droplets condensed and formed three or four water lines flowing down. At this time, Wei Lanqiu's figure suddenly disappeared. After a moment,
Returned to his Taoist palace under the water.
"You're back?"
"Yes." A figure immediately condensed opposite Wei Lanqiu, it was Lu Donglai who had returned from Tianyuan Southern Continent.
"Can the matter be resolved?"
"I got what I should have got, but I still haven't gotten what I shouldn't have."
"What did the chief say?"
"The chief is very satisfied."
"So when is he going to take it a step further?"
"That is his business. Although the source spirit has not been gathered yet, I have completed my instructions." Lu Donglai sat down cross-legged, his whole body filled with spiritual energy, and several magic weapons came out of his body, "You can choose one, Tianyuan
Although the structure of the Southern Continent is not as good as that of the Northern Continent, the weapon refining methods are much better than those of the Northern Continent."
"You want to use the magic weapon to repay the debt you owe me?"
"I didn't think so."
"Then you do something for me." Wei Lanqiu explained what had just happened. She was not worried about Lu Donglai's nonsense. In fact, among the nine old men, although Lu Donglai followed Li Zhenlong, he
He has always been a person who keeps his promises, and Wei Lanqiu knows that this is the way he abides by. Once he deviates from it, the foundation of his cultivation will no longer exist.
"I can't do anything detrimental to the chief. Moreover, after I left Beilu, all the support I had was gone. They now have a new owner. In addition, Qibo Yuan City is extremely deep. You must be careful when approaching.
Don’t get stuck in the situation.”
"I will be careful. As for manpower, I believe you have a way."
"You can only target Jin Shengxi's people, but in this case, I owe him. Maybe one day, he will let me deal with you."
"Opportunities don't come around often."
"I understand, let's go first." Lu Dong wrote and took a dazzling magic weapon in his hand, threw it over, then stood up and dissipated in a mass of invisible gray mist.
…………
Jiang Feng arrived at Dongji City and sent a greeting to his father-in-law Bai Shiduo. He happened to be away, but the housekeeper was very enthusiastic and invited him to hang out in the back garden.
"The master of the house has already told you that he has prepared a gift for you in the back garden."
"A gift?" Jiang Feng was suspicious of Bai Shiduo's intentions, but seeing that the butler's smile was sincere, he didn't care and strolled around in the back garden.
The garden was full of spring scenery, but he never noticed anything. When he was hesitating, he felt a mysterious aura floating over. When he looked again, he saw a woman in white. Her figure and back were somewhat similar to the dead Bai Ruoxi.
.
Why are you dressed like this? It startled me. Jiang Feng was about to retreat to avoid suspicion, but he saw the woman turned her head and smiled sweetly. Jiang Feng was shocked again. Not only did she remember the image, but she also looked similar.
