As a rare place of spiritual cultivation in Haiya, a commercial town in the southeastern part of Zhongzhou, the Haiya Sect headquarters located on Haiya Island is home to nearly a thousand Haiya Sect cultivators who practice in seclusion all year round.
Although the density of cultivators on this small island is extremely astonishing, it usually looks extremely deserted, and not a single person is seen for a long time. This is because cultivators from the Haiya Sect who come here often enter the cave for retreat as soon as possible.
Very few people would come out to hang out, and the cultivators who could come out to hang out would not come here from Haiya City to practice cultivation.
Therefore, this overseas island where thousands of cultivators gather is usually as quiet as a haunted house in an amusement park. Only the pulsing spiritual energy fluctuations generated when cultivators try to break through the bottleneck of cultivation prove that this place is not deserted.
Death place.
The retreat place of Haiya Sect leader Jiang Hua'an is located in the most secluded place on the entire island.
But today, Haiya Island unexpectedly became lively.
As two powerful escaping lights shot out from the direction of Haiya City, this place of pure cultivation was like a stone stirring up a thousand waves. A large number of Haiya monks who had been practicing in seclusion came out one after another and faced the two escaping lights.
Welcomed him.
The main reason why the retreating monks of the Haiya Sect can treat him so seriously is because of the special status of the visitor.
They are Su Yuanfeng, the president of the Haiya Chamber of Commerce who has just entered the early stage of Jindan, the elder of the Haiya Sect's Law Enforcement Hall who controls the inspection power of the Haiya Sect, and Han Xinhe, a ninth-level foundation monk.
In Haiya City, not everyone is like Yang Lu, who can meet the senior leaders of Haiya Sect casually. Ordinary Haiya Sect monks actually rarely have the opportunity to meet the second and third leaders of their own sect, and even some Haiya Sect monks.
None of the disciples of Ya Sect had spoken seriously to these two people before they advanced to the Foundation Establishment Stage, so everyone wanted to take this opportunity to get acquainted with the senior leaders of their sect.
Facing a large number of monks who took the initiative to say hello, Han Xinhe and Su Yuanfeng just said a few casual polite words and waved for them to leave, because they came to Haiya Island specifically today, and they did not come specifically to say "comrade" to the retreating monks.
Thank you for your hard work." Instead, we plan to jointly visit the leader of the Haiya Sect, the Lord of Haiya City, Jiang Hua'an!
This should also be the first time in the past twenty years that the three giants of Haiya City have met privately.
As the saying goes, it's easy to talk without speculation. Although the three of them have been in the same city all year round, the three major families have many conflicts with each other. Even if there is urgent matter that needs to be communicated, most of them will communicate it through their subordinates.
This time, the two of them came to Haiya Island specifically to meet with the leader, which showed that the pilot reform of Zhongzhou's social security system has made the entire Haiya department's senior management restless.
Jiang Hua'an obviously knew that these two people were going to visit him, so he ended his practice early.
In order to entertain the two of them, he specially ordered his disciples to clean the entire cave. The tables and chairs were all spotless, and there was even a pot of unknown rare spiritual plants placed on the wooden table.
Seeing Su Yuanfeng and Han Xinhe pushing the door open, Jiang Hua'an greeted with a smile: "President Su, I didn't expect you to successfully advance to the Golden Core stage so quickly. Our Haiya Department also has a third Golden Core stage monk. It's really gratifying.
Congratulations!"
Although there was only one golden elixir-level monk named Jiang Hua'an in Haiya City before, there was nothing wrong with his words.
Because in addition to Jiang Hua'an and Su Yuanfeng, the Haiya Department has another Jindan monk who has a relatively thin presence, and that is the person in charge of overseas trade of the Haiya Department in Huoyun Prefecture, Xu Haihong, a second-level Jindan monk.
It's just that this person is based in Huoyun State, so everyone always subconsciously ignores the fact that there are actually four major families in the Haiya family.
As the leader of the Haiya Sect, Jiang Hua'an would definitely not make such a stupid mistake when speaking in formal occasions.
The three early Jindan monks are insignificant little shrimps in front of the Wuliang Sword Sect, but if compared horizontally with other vassal sects in Zhongzhou, the strength of the Haiya Sect is definitely at the leading level.
You know, even the Yangming Sect of the southern Zhongzhou sect, which has a population nearly three times larger than that of the Haiya area, has only three Jindan monks in total. If we consider that it was once the same family as the Haiya sect, but
Including the Shanying sect that later split off, it is not an exaggeration to say that the Haiya sect is the most powerful vassal sect in Zhongzhou.
The average strength of the Haiya Sect monks is far superior to that of their counterparts in Zhongzhou. This is of course not because the cultivators in the Haiya area have higher spiritual root qualifications on average, but because the Haiya Sect has powerful money-making abilities.
In particular, the leaders of the four major Haiya families have more than ten times the financial resources of monks of the same level. Even Han Xinhe, the elder of the Law Enforcement Hall with the lowest cultivation level, has a very high probability of reaching the Golden Core stage in the future. If not
The Wuliang Sword Sect intends to suppress it, and the potential of the Haiya Sect will even be much stronger than it is now.
Seeing the Maitreya-like Jiang Hua'an taking the initiative to praise him, Su Yuanfeng, who had just sat down, couldn't help but narrow his eyes slightly. With the tense relationship between Jiang Hua'an and him, it would be damning if the other party's praise was sincere!
He originally wanted to say something, but in the end he casually handed it over and said, "It's just a fluke! I originally estimated that it would take a year and a half, but I didn't expect that it would be completed on the first try."
Jiang Hua'an laughed and said: "Time flies by like a fleeting moment. I remember when President Su attended the Immortal Ascension Conference, I was still the supervising Immortal Master of the Immortal Ascension Conference. I witnessed with my own eyes the scene where you detected the three immortal lights. I didn't expect that it would be more than a hundred years ago.
In the past, President Su has also entered the realm of golden elixir. Looking back on the scene at that time, it seems like it happened yesterday!"
We are all people of high status, and even if we are unhappy with each other, we will not show it directly. However, although there is not an offensive word in Jiang Hua'an's words, it can make the listener extremely uncomfortable.
Such a speech that relies on one's elders is like a family elder saying, "I hugged you when you were a child." The more senior a person is, the more uncomfortable he will feel after hearing this. What's more, Su Yuanfeng is still a dignified Haiya.
President of the Chamber of Commerce.
Su Yuanfeng would definitely not be annoyed by such a trivial matter, but replied in a nonchalant manner: "City Lord Jiang has entered the Golden Core realm for nearly three hundred years, and he is considered to be an out-and-out leader among the Golden Core monks in Zhongzhou.
You are an old senior, even if Chen Ming of the Mountain Eagle Sect is a little younger than you, even though I was lucky enough to achieve the Golden Elixir, in front of you, I am just a junior!"
Su Yuanfeng's words sounded equally polite, but they were no less offensive than Jiang Hua'an's speech just now.
After all, the lifespan of a monk in the early stage of the Golden Elixir is only five hundred years at most. Su Yuanfeng said that Jiang Hua'an has entered the realm of the Golden Elixir for nearly three hundred years, which is actually a metaphor for the fact that he has very little life left.
Chen Ming, the head of the Mountain Eagle Sect, is a middle-stage Golden Elixir monk, and his longevity is decades longer than Jiang Hua'an. Su Yuanfeng pulled Chen Ming out for comparison, and said that Jiang Hua'an was older than Chen Ming, and would undoubtedly increase his age again.
The ironic meaning is eliminated, and as for the polite words that follow, such as "younger generation", they are not important anymore.
As the saying goes, don't slap someone in the face when you hit someone, don't scold someone when you scold someone.
Cultivators always attach great importance to their own longevity. Su Yuanfeng's pointed sarcasm was a critical blow. Even though Jiang Hua'an was a wealthy man, he couldn't help but feel a trace of anger flashing under his eyes.
Seeing that the two of them had just met, they had a round of secret confrontation. In the end, Han Xinhe pretended not to understand and smoothed things over: "Let's save the polite words for later. Now that Lin Jianxing and Liu Hanxing have taken action, we
The most important thing within the Haiya system is unity, otherwise we might as well surrender!"
