The merchant ship gradually approached the coastline.
When we get here, there are many islands on the sea.
There are many fishing boats going back and forth between the many islands. Most of the fishing boats are ordinary fishermen. They make a living by fishing. The biggest trade here is fishing.
In addition to these ordinary fishermen, there is also a special profession in Leizhou called monster hunter.
These so-called demon hunters are a team of immortal cultivators composed of people from some cultivating families or alliances of casual cultivators. They hunt for monsters and beasts in the offshore waters of Leizhou.
On the offshore side, most of the monsters are only level one, with no more than level two at most.
Speaking of this monster hunter, we have to mention the monster hunter guild. The monster hunter guild has been around since ancient times. The exact time of its establishment is no longer known. Anyway, it can be seen in all the major cities on Leizhou. It is the largest here.
Chain union.
Demon hunters range from one star to nine stars. The higher the star level, the stronger the person is, the higher the tasks they can take on, and the better the rewards will be.
The business scope of a monster hunter is not only monsters in the sea, but also birds and animals on land.
Qin Shaoyou stood at the window with his hands behind his hands. He looked into the distance and saw many busy figures on the sparkling sea. He couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly.
"Lei Zhou, here I come!"
He said secretly.
Xifeng Port is one of the three major trading ports on the west coast of Leizhou, and is currently controlled by the Song family of Tianyun City.
Speaking of the Song family, it is said that they migrated from the inland hundreds of years ago. Originally, the Song family made a living by refining magic weapons. However, because many of the skills of refining the weapons were lost or lost, they had to continue.
Find other ways to support yourself.
Developing fishery trade, establishing a west wind port, and forming an ocean-going caravan were their strategies.
There are two other major immortal-cultivating families near Tianyun City, namely the Zhang family in Xiyangling and the Wang family in Bloody Edge Mountain.
The Zhang and Wang families are a large family born and raised in the local area.
More than two hundred years ago, a monk at the Golden Core Realm came out of the Zhang family. From then on, the Zhang family was out of control and gradually grew from a wealthy businessman in the mortal world to a large family of immortal cultivators.
As for the Wang family, it is said that they also received advice from experts and rose rapidly over the past few hundred years to dominate the country.
The Zhang and Wang families often adopt an attitude of suppressing and robbing the newly arrived Song family, so now the Song family can only stick to Tianyun City and Xifeng Port. It looks very beautiful here, but in fact it has to endure all the time.
Suppression from outside.
Fortunately, the head of the Song family is very charitable and takes good care of both casual cultivators and ordinary people here. Therefore, the Wang family does not dare to be too presumptuous in this regard.
The fishing boat gradually approached the port of Xifeng Port. In this offshore area, the Song family established criss-crossing water bridges and docks. There was an endless stream of traders coming and going. There were some mortal figures coming and going on the docks, including many.
There are some children of the Song family here to maintain order and be responsible for security work.
There was a group of people on the coast who had been waiting here for a long time. When the merchant ship Qin Shaoyou was on appeared in sight, the beautiful woman in the lead couldn't help but smile with relief.
Seeing this, there were footsteps outside the door again, and Qin Shaoyou knew it was time to get off the boat.
"Senior, we have arrived at Xifeng Port. Please follow us and get off the boat."
Qin Shaoyou nodded and motioned to Song Li to lead the way.
Afterwards, a group of people walked onto the deck one after another, followed the stairs built by the servants, and strolled onto the pier.
"Third brother, you are back!"
The beautiful woman said hello with a smile.
She glanced at everyone, and her eyes fell on the faces of Sein Feifei and the other three. Seeing the latter's obscure and inexplicable expressions, she suddenly felt that something was wrong.
"Third brother, did this trial go well?"
She couldn't help but ask.
Song Li shook his head helplessly and said:
"It's a long story."
"By the way, let me introduce you!"
Song Li immediately let Qin Shaoyou out:
"Fourth sister, this is Fellow Daoist Qin. If Fellow Daoist Qin hadn't taken action during this trip to sea, we might have been in big trouble!"
"Fellow Daoist Qin is now our guest elder. I will discuss this matter with you in detail when I get back."
"Fellow Daoist Qin, this is my fourth sister, you can call her Yaya."
There was a strange smile on Qin Shaoyou's face. The name Song Yaya seemed quite cute, but the woman in front of him looked quite old. The name seemed a bit incompatible with her current temperament.
Although he was thinking this in his heart, he would not say it with his mouth.
"When Qin Shaoyou went overseas as a casual cultivator, he met Miss Song."
When Song Yaya heard Qin Shaoyou calling herself this, she couldn't help but laugh so hard that her branches trembled.
"Fellow Daoist Qin is really good at talking. Come with me. The carriage is ready."
After a brief chat, Qin Shaoyou got on the Song family's carriage, and then the group of people galloped towards Tianyun City without stopping.
Along the way, Song Li roughly told Song Yaya what happened during the trial.
At first, Song Li didn't think much about it, but after Song Yaya heard this, she asked intentionally or unintentionally:
"Third brother, where did you buy that bottle of veterinary medicine?"
As soon as these words came out, Song Li suddenly felt that there was a profound meaning in them.
"The veterinary drug can only be sold at Tomorrow Building. That's where I asked my servant to buy it!"
"You mean... that old man from the Wang family intends to harm us!"
Tomorrow Building is the property of the Wang family, and the dead old man Song Li mentioned is named Wang Yulin.
This person's cultivation level is in the middle stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm. Although his cultivation level is not high, he is the leader of the peripheral shops of the Wang family.
The Wang family has a close relationship with the people in the Demon Hunter Guild, so they can obtain a large amount of various animal-attracting drugs.
For example, the bottle of medicine he used to attract the Black Mist Blood Demon, there are dozens more in the tomorrow building.
"The Wang family knows that we are used to test our descendants, so they may have mixed other things into the medicine, which will attract third-level monsters!"
The more Song Li thought about it, the more frightened he became, and Song Yaya's face suddenly became a little ugly.
“I didn’t expect that even though we just tolerated it, people still regarded us as a thorn in their side!”
"Third brother, if second brother is still here..."
"Okay, what's the point of saying these words now?"
Song Li interrupted her.
In another carriage, Qin Shaoyou sat alone in it.
This is what Song Li specifically ordered his servants to arrange.
Through the curtain of the carriage, Qin Shaoyou saw what was going on along the way.
He was surprised to find that in Leizhou, immortal cultivators were not such mysterious existences to mortals.
Just like one or two martial arts masters with high martial arts appear in a group of people, mortals would at most be envious and admire them, but they would never have the fanatical obsession and admiration for immortal cultivators like the mortals in Tianlin Continent.
Whether a person can cultivate immortality and whether he has the qualifications to cultivate is actually determined from the moment he is born.
If the Jade Gate cannot be opened, it will not be able to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and it will not be able to sense the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. This is the state that most mortals face.
"A city where immortals and mortals live together is quite interesting."
Qin Shaoyou murmured to himself, and then sat back in his seat.
Next, he should go to meet the head of the Song family. If he hears that Song Li respects him as an elder, even though he won't say anything, he may still test his true ability.
, it may cause some trouble.
After all, he is not a real senior. The treatment he enjoys now was obtained by defrauding Song Li.
This uneasiness coming from the bottom of his heart always reminded him that he must complete the leap in strength as soon as possible.
As for whether he should show his hand in front of the Song family, Qin Shaoyou thought for a moment and felt that it was not necessary if it was not a last resort.
Blindly showing off his muscles will only give people the impression that he has a guilty conscience. Anyway, with Song Li in charge, even if the Song family has any ideas, it is impossible to push him out.
Just when Qin Shaoyou was thinking wildly, the carriage was speeding along and he soon saw the figure of Tianyun City.
Today's Cloud City was much larger than the Canglong City and other cities he had seen before. The city walls alone were twenty or thirty meters high, and the city gates were also astonishingly large.
Entering the city, there is a broad road.
There are shops, restaurants, pharmacies and warehouses on both sides of the road, and nearly half of them belong to the Song family. Of course, in order to open up trade routes, the Song family also allows many merchants and casual cultivators from other families to come to the city to make a living.
The streets are bustling with people.
The surrounding shops are row upon row, majestic and majestic.
The streets are full of customs and customs, and there are all kinds of businessmen and monks coming and going, as well as literati and merchants carrying burdens.
This made Qin Shaoyou sigh, this is the world of immortals in his imagination.
The carriage did not stop and soon arrived in front of a magnificent mansion.
Qin Shaoyou got off the carriage, looked up at the wall of the house, and couldn't help muttering in his heart:
"Why does this Song family residence look like a royal palace?"
"Fellow Daoist Qin, we are here, let's go in together!"
Song Li led the way. A group of people walked in along the gate of the house, bypassed several patrol teams, turned along several corridors, passed through several layers of courtyard walls, and walked across several stone bridges. They finally saw
An ancient majestic palace.
The Ancient Yun Hall is the place where the Song family conducts business affairs.
When several people entered the hall, there were already many people standing in the hall.
Among them was a man in a green shirt, standing with his hands behind his back, standing in the center of the hall. His sword-shaped eyebrows and starry eyes were clear-cut, his eyes were bright and lively, and his face was calm and intimidating.
At first glance, he looks like a man who has been in a high position all year round.
"Third brother, I heard that you encountered a lot of trouble during this trip. I called all the uncles in the family over. Can you tell me in front of everyone, what is the specific situation?"
Song Tianren, the head of the Song family, went straight to the point when he opened his mouth.
Song Li nodded, and then told everyone the process of the trip in an emotional voice.
When he said that Qin Shaoyou came on the scene and killed this third-level monster within three moves, everyone in the Song family focused their attention on the latter.
"Brother, I made my own decision and invited fellow Taoist Qin to be my guest elder of the Song family!"
The older uncles of the Song family couldn't help but look at Qin Shaoyou.
When they discovered that this person's spiritual power was only at the late stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm, they began to be suspicious of what Song Li said.
Song Tianren groaned, then nodded and said:
"Fellow Daoist Qin saved the three sons of my Song family. Naturally, my Song family will give generous gifts to express our gratitude!"
"I wonder what fellow Taoist wants? I, Song Tianren, can do it and I will never refuse!"
With this statement, even though Qin Shaoyou was recognized as the guest elder, the uncles discussed it in a low voice, but no one came out to object.
Qin Shaoyou smiled slightly and said:
"Then I'll thank the Master of the Song family first."
"I don't have any special requirements. I just came from overseas and am unfamiliar with Leizhou. I want to have a place to settle down. If the head of the Song family doesn't mind, I would like to find a courtyard in Tianyun City for a while.
What do you think about staying here?"
Song Tianren didn't expect Qin Shaoyou's request to be so simple. Finding a courtyard in Tianyun City was not an easy task for him.
"Fellow Daoist Qin, even if you don't tell me, I, Song, will arrange these little things for you. I have a few magic weapons or spiritual stones here. What do you need?"
Generally speaking, immortal cultivators only care about their cultivation resources, but Qin Shaoyou did the opposite and only coveted the property of mortals.
Qin Shaoyou smiled slightly and said:
"I do have some other needs, but for now, the head of the family should first solve the problems encountered in this trial!"
"After a while, I will come back to discuss with the owner in detail after I have settled down."
"Of course, if the head of the family needs help with anything, feel free to ask for it. I, Qin, will not take the things from the head of the family in vain."
What Qin Shaoyou said made Song Tianren think highly of him.
The latter's move of retreating into advancement also made many people present shut their mouths.
"In that case, let's do what Fellow Daoist Qin said, right?"
"Fourth sister, please do me a favor and take fellow Taoist Qin to find a unique courtyard."
Song Tianren arranged for Song Yaya to receive Qin Shaoyou, and he didn't know if it had any deeper meaning. However, the latter obviously didn't think so much, and he didn't want to ask about the internal affairs of the Song family, so he said goodbye immediately.
"Fellow Daoist Qin, please come with me."
Song Yaya nodded to him politely, then led him outside.
