Volume Two: The Wind Rises and Spiritual Clouds Chapter 173: Visiting the Misty Sect
Lin Dongjiu asked anxiously: "Brother Yuan, when will this forbidden land be opened?"
"Three and a half months later, it is the early spring. However, the Tongtian Forbidden Land is in the north of the Southern Spiritual Territory, more than hundreds of thousands of miles away from Lingyun Kingdom. If you want to go, you need to take the teleportation array."
Three and a half months later... Lin Dongjiu thought for a while, it would take almost half a month to deal with the affairs of Lingyun Kingdom, and the Tongtian Forbidden Land will be opened in three months, so there will be enough time to prepare for it.
But the premise is that the troubles in Lingyun Country must be solved perfectly so that he can get over it.
Having made up his mind, Lin Dongjiu explained:
"In that case, Brother Yuan, I will go with you when the time comes. You can make some preparations, and I will also refine some more antidote pills and provide them to you for free."
Yuan Cai was extremely pleasantly surprised and said: "That's great! Then I'll thank fellow Taoist Lin for my friends first!"
Lin Dongjiu smiled slightly and said: "Brother Yuan, you don't have to be polite, just call me Lin Dongjiu!"
"Brother Yuan, come here today. I just want to ask you about the Sanxiu Alliance."
"Brother Lin, just ask, I will tell you everything you know!"
Yuan Cai saw that Lin Dongjiu was not as vicious as the rumors, and was even polite to him, so his tone became more relaxed.
"Have any major events happened recently in the Sanxiu Alliance?"
"event?"
Yuan Cai frowned, as if thinking:
"It's not a big deal, but Yusheng City was attacked by a demonic beast. The demonic beast appears and disappears, always waiting at the city gate to cause trouble. As a result, people inside the city dare not come out, and those outside the city dare not come in."
"Although this has nothing to do with the Rogue Alliance, the headquarters of the Rogue Alliance is near Yusheng City. Many members of the Rogue Alliance are trapped in the city, and the industry of the Rogue Alliance is also in the city. As long as the monster is not destroyed for a day,
If we drive them away, the Sanxiu Alliance will keep losing money."
"This matter has made a big fuss in the Rogue Cultivator League. There is no other way. The Rogue Cultivator League can only send the rudders to destroy the monster. However, those rudder leaders are no match for the monster beast. Some of them were even almost killed by the monster beast.
Eaten alive."
"Later, this incident even alarmed the deputy alliance, and several deputy alliance members came out in person. However, the monster was very smart, and would run away as soon as it saw that it could not be defeated. After the deputy alliance left, it would come back and continue to cause trouble.
.
And those deputy alliance members have to deal with everything all day long, so they can't possibly guard the city gate day and night, right?
Therefore, everyone in the Rogue Cultivator Alliance was troubled by this monster, and other matters were put on hold, but there was still no solution.
I guess the old guys from the Sanxiu Alliance are still sitting in the conference room discussing countermeasures!"
After hearing this, Lin Dongjiu just nodded and didn't say much.
Because that monster is his great sage!
That night, he asked the Great Sage to leave first because he wanted it to cause trouble in Yusheng City, so as to disrupt Qiu Qianbian's rhythm and buy more time for his early preparations.
Seeing that the effect was pretty good, Lin Dongjiu planned to pick up the Great Sage after a few days.
After all, Yusheng City and the Rogue Cultivator Alliance cannot always let the Great Sage make trouble. They will definitely set up traps to lure the Great Sage into trap. If the Great Sage fails to react and falls into the trap, it will be really troublesome.
Lin Dongjiu suddenly remembered that he still had a few tokens from the Loose Cultivator Alliance, so he took one out and showed it to him:
"Brother Yuan, look at this token."
Yuan Cai only looked at it once and then exclaimed:
"This...this is the token of the leader of the Rogue Cultivator Alliance! Brother Lin, where did you get this token?"
It seems that this know-it-all’s level in the Rogue Cultivator Alliance is still not high enough. He can’t even reach the bounty order... Lin Dongjiu shrugged:
"Don't worry about it. What's the use of this thing?"
"Brother Lin, this is good stuff!"
After Yuan Cai returned to normal, his eyes lit up, but then he said awkwardly:
"Maybe it doesn't matter to Brother Lin, but to us casual cultivators, this is a symbol of status!"
"In our casual cultivator alliance, the position of helmsman is very fluid. Unlike the deputy or alliance leader who needs to report to the superiors, as long as the casual cultivator is above Yingguan, he can go to the headquarters to apply for helmsmanship.
In addition, the helmsman's token belongs to those who are capable. Whoever holds the token is the helmsman of the Rogue Cultivator Alliance. It doesn't matter even if his cultivation level has not reached the Yingguan realm.
With this token, not only can you enter and exit the Rogue Cultivator Alliance headquarters at will, but you can also enjoy the monthly salary of the Rogue Cultivator Alliance, and most importantly, you can also use this token to enter the Rogue Cultivator Alliance’s secret training place to practice!”
Lin Dongjiu smiled and said: "Then I'll give you this token. I'm not a casual cultivator, so I can't afford these benefits."
"Brother Lin can't do it, can't do it, this... this is too expensive!"
Yuan Cai quickly excused himself and said:
"Brother Lin, it doesn't matter if you are not a casual cultivator. The casual cultivator alliance only recognizes the token and not the person. When the time comes, I will inform the guys from the casual cultivator alliance that you can sneak into the secret cultivation place and practice for ten days and a half.
It’s still no problem.”
He explained in a low voice:
"Because the rudder leader has no real power in the Rogue Cultivator Alliance and can only enjoy some benefits, the Rogue Cultivator Alliance's supervision of the rudder leader's authority is particularly confusing and has many loopholes.
There have been times when helmsmen openly sold tokens, but the embarrassing thing is that no one bought them, because high-level casual cultivators can apply for tokens on their own, which they looked down on, while low-level casual cultivators did not dare to buy them, fearing that they would be ruined if they bought them.
It was robbed."
Lin Dongjiu was a little dumbfounded. It turned out that the token in his hand was still somewhat valuable to casual cultivators.
At the same time, I felt a little emotional that it was really hard for casual cultivators in the world of immortality.
In addition to those casual cultivators whose luck is against the heavens, there are also those low-level casual cultivators who need talent but not talent, and want opportunities but not opportunities. In addition to running around for training resources every day, they also have to worry about being killed by a major cultivator one day.
Well, it’s better to find a class!
It’s better to lean against a big tree to enjoy the shade!
He said sarcastic words in his heart, but he never thought about what he would do if the big tree he was leaning against was uprooted one day...
Lin Dongjiu still has four tokens. It doesn't matter if he gives one to Yuan Cai. Quan should go along with the flow and give him a favor. After all, Yuan Cai is a know-it-all. At least he can ask him if he has anything he doesn't know.
Moreover, he felt that Yuan Cai had the potential to be an "eye". If he entrusted Yuan Cai to help him pay more attention to the current affairs in Lingyun Kingdom, he would indeed save a lot of trouble.
Lin Dongjiu put the token into Yuan Cai's hand and said with a serious face: "I still have four tokens like this. Brother Yuan, don't shirk it!"
Yuan Cai had no choice but to accept it and told Lin Dongjiu that he would bring the herb collection team tomorrow.
Before Yuan Cai left, Lin Dongjiu asked him again:
"Brother Yuan, I will give you a portrait. Please help me find out if anyone has seen her. If so, you must come to Dan Pavilion to find me. I will thank you very much!"
Yuan Cai agreed, and after he left, it was already getting late, and Lin Dongjiu did not plan to return to the sect anymore, so he stayed overnight in Dan Pavilion with Su Ruxue and others.
Anyway, the store in Lingxue Dan Pavilion is very big, with a total of three floors, and there are still places to sleep.
In the next two days, Su Ruxue and He Qing stayed in Dan Pavilion to help, while Lin Dongjiu and Leng Fei secretly visited the city lords of major cities who had not been rebelled by the Demon Palace.
Of the seven major cities in Lingyun Kingdom, only Blackwater City, Huoyang City near Baicao Cao, and Xueman City near Piaomiao Xianzong are left without rebellion.
The garrison city is too far away and is not included.
The conversation went smoothly. Cen Tiancheng, the lord of Huoyang City, and Gou Rong, the lord of Xueman City, were both the most loyal guardians of the Yin family. They said they would never betray the Yin family and collude with the Demon Palace.
After visiting Xueman City, Lin Dongjiu thought about it and decided to stop by the Piaomiao Immortal Sect. Anyway, the Piaomiao Immortal Sect was not too far from Xueman City, and it would not take long.
So Lin Dongjiu asked Leng Fei to go back first, and he transferred to the Piaomiao Immortal Sect alone.
...
The Piaomiao Immortal Sect is located in the north of Lingyun Kingdom, where the snow never melts all year round, and the sect is built around a flat-topped snow mountain.
Lin Dongjiu had already reached the gate of Piaomiao Xianzong. Just as he was about to go to the door, he heard a cold shout:
"Stop! Who are you!"
He took a quick look and saw that two female disciples with veiled faces came out holding swords and stopped him.
"I am Lin Dongjiu, a disciple of Luoxia Sect. I would like to speak to Hua Yueyao, a disciple of your noble sect. I hope my senior sister can convey it!"
"Hmph! You, our senior sister, are the only men who can meet you whenever you want? Our sect has an order that no male can come even half a step closer to the sect. Anyone who disobeys the order will be killed!"
One of the female disciples with a cold face snorted and said unceremoniously:
"If you don't leave, don't blame us for being rude!"
Lin Dongjiu: "..."
Lin Dongjiu took half a step back, trying hard to control a kind smile on his face:
"I don't mean any harm. In fact, your Flower Fairy and I are friends. In this case, if I don't get close, you ask the Flower Fairy to come out to see my head office..."
Swish! Swish!
Before he finished speaking, the two female disciples threw out two icicles, piercing his eyes.
Lin Dongjiu frowned, raised his hand to grab the two icicles, squeezed them gently, and the icicles turned into nothingness.
He walked forward, his face getting colder and colder: "Is this the way your Piaomiao Immortal Sect treats guests?"
The expressions of the two female disciples changed, and they subconsciously took two steps back. They took out their long swords and pointed them at Lin Dongjiu, saying in a stern tone: "What are you going to do!"
"Miao Ling, Miao Yi, what happened?"
Another female disciple walked out of the door, frowning and asked.
One of the female disciples explained:
"Senior Sister Ling, this person is looking for Senior Sister Hua and claims to be Senior Sister Hua's friend. Even if we chase him away, he will not leave. He is acting like a rogue here."
Another female disciple whispered: "Senior Sister Ling, this person is already the 365th friend this month who calls himself Senior Sister Hua. He is here to find Senior Sister Hua. Why don't we take off one of his legs and kill him as a warning to others?"
The female disciple named Senior Sister Ling ignored them, but stared at Lin Dongjiu and said in disbelief:
"Lin Dong...Fellow Daoist Lin! It's really you!"
Is your sect a hidden world? Why is there so little information... Lin Dongjiu complained silently in his heart, but finally met a female disciple who knew him, and hurriedly stepped forward and said:
"Yes, I'm still alive."
This female disciple looks familiar to him. She should be the disciple who followed Hua Yueyao to experience in the secret realm.
Now that they knew each other, Lin Dongjiu said bluntly:
"I received a lot of care from you, Senior Sister Hua, in the secret realm, so I came here to thank you. I also asked Senior Sister Ling to help me call the Flower Fairy."
"You...don't you know?"
Senior Sister Ling's face looked strange under the gauze, her voice turned cold in vain, and even the look she looked at Lin Dongjiu was mixed with a bit of resentment.
Have I ever offended you?
Lin Dongjiu was stunned. Under the gaze of his spiritual consciousness, he could see the changes in Senior Sister Ling's expression. He didn't understand what he had done to her.
As for looking at me like a "scumbag who always gives up"!
