I Am Evergreen In the World of Cultivating Immortals Chapter 222

  Chapter 222 Chamber of Commerce Negotiations

  Guessing the identity of the long-haired female cultivator, Lu Changan felt a little bit surprised, somewhat surprised.

  He couldn't help thinking of Li Congren's description of the Jiuchen Chamber of Commerce:

   "The Devil's Cult will also give the chamber of commerce a piece of cake. Even if they encounter it, they can spend money and eliminate disasters, so that they won't be wiped out."

  At that time, Lu Changan just felt that the Jiuchen Chamber of Commerce had great energy and could enjoy both black and white.

  At this moment, he felt like he was on a pirate ship.

  Who would have thought that the long-haired female cultivator who joined halfway and covered her face with a tulle would be a direct disciple of the leader of the Demon Cult.

   "Fairy Shi finally let this girl go."

  Lu Changan thought to himself.

  In the past two years, with the chaotic situation on the border, the Demonic Cult has been accumulating energy for many years, and it has begun to take shape, and it has a great say in the surrounding area.

  Miss Wei's identity, looking at this area, is more intimidating than a true disciple of the sect.

  Fairy Master's choice is not difficult for Lu Changan to understand.

  Even if Miss Wei is killed, the hidden danger cannot be eliminated. Once found out by the Demon Sect, as a direct disciple of the leader, he will never let it go.

   If Miss Wei is not killed, Lu Changan has already erased her relevant memories in the secret territory.

  Letting this girl go should have made her swear an oath of demons.

  Even if it is revealed one day in the future.

  Fairy Master, as a Tier 3 formation master, is definitely the target of recruiting by the major forces.

  Even if it is a third-tier formation master with a fake alchemy cultivation base, its status is completely comparable to that of a real alchemy monk.

  At that time, it will not be easy for the Demon Cult to move the Fairy Master, and they may even have the desire to solicit.

   "Before leaving the ruins, I don't know if Fairy Shi will follow my advice and destroy the formation at the core of the ruins, causing the collapsing space to shatter."

   Back in the room, Lu Changan was a little curious about this.

  It is only possible for Fairy Shi to become a third-tier formation master to do this, and it requires a lot of skill to trigger a chain reaction of the ancient remnant formation.

   Miss Wei, who just boarded the spirit ship, probably knows the answer.

  Lu Changan used to take Miss Wei's life at will, but now he dare not reveal his identity and ask her face to face.

   Judging from Miss Wei's treatment.

  He suspected that the Jiuchen Chamber of Commerce had a deep collusion with the Demon Sect.

  Decades ago, although the Demon Cult was defeated in the Immortal Cultivation Realm of Liang Country, it has learned the lessons from the past. It seems to be developing well in Jing Country, which is neutral in the Immortal Cultivation Country, at least it has penetrated into the Merchant Alliance.

  The structure of Jing country's world of cultivating immortals is different from that of Liang country.

  In Liang State, Zongmen is the supreme power with absolute dominance.

  But in the country of Jing, the power of the business alliance is very strong, and it can even compete with the sects of the country.

  The business alliance of Jing State is composed of large and small chambers of commerce, united together for warmth, advocating trade and freedom, and has mastered most of the country's fairy city and Fangshi channels.

  Compared with the Zongmen, the Merchant Alliance has less rejection of the Demon Sect, and is more mercenary.

   "If there is indeed a collusion between the Jiuchen Chamber of Commerce and the Devil's Cult. For this cross-border trip, it is not completely bad news."

   After a while, Lu Changan figured out the link.

   Two days later.

  The spirit ship of the Jiuchen Chamber of Commerce has returned to the right track and is gradually leaving the border of Liang State.

  Lu Changan sensed that the aura of the world outside the spirit ship was getting thinner, even almost cut off.

  In this case, the power of many spells will be greatly reduced.

  Flying speed is slower and mana recovery is more difficult.

  In addition to the chaos between the two countries during the war, it is indeed difficult to be guaranteed when traveling alone.

  With the protective power of the spirit ship of the Jiuchen Chamber of Commerce, at least it can prevent all kinds of robbery and repair.

  Looking back in the direction of Liang Guo through the window of the guest room, Lu Changan saw a barren place, and his mood seemed complicated.

   Now, he is one hundred and forty-two years old, and he has practiced in Liang State for more than one hundred and twenty years. He is bound to be bound to the people and things in that land.

  However, for Lu Changan to obtain a complete alchemy opportunity, including alchemy spiritual objects, he needs a stable cultivation environment.

  Cultivate to the peak of foundation building first, and then find a third-order spiritual vein to form a pill.

  Leaving this time, reuniting with old friends, and trading to the secret method of alchemy, the overall situation is relatively smooth.

  The only regret is that I didn't get to see Zhao Siyao.

  When he arrived at Jinyun Valley, Zhao Siyao was in retreat, preparing to form alchemy.

   Even Zhao Siyao's disciple, Zhao Tan, went to the front line to guard.

   "Fellow Daoist Wu."

  The barrier on the door was touched, and the purple-faced strong man next door came to visit Lu Changan.

  The strong purple-faced man was injured, so he reluctantly took out three thousand spirit stones and lived in the guest room next to Lu Changan.

  This person has a strong vicious aura and doesn't really get along well with others. He can only chat with Lu Chang'an on the spirit ship.

   "Fang Daoist, please come in."

  In the guest room, the two chatted about war.

   Between the words, the purple-faced burly man showed his dissatisfaction with the upper echelon of Liang Guozong.

   "If Liang Guozong hadn't started the war rashly and invaded other countries first, we wouldn't have fallen into today's situation."

   "The 'Secret Realm of Qingming' will be opened in three or four years, and that is the way for many foundation-building fellows to obtain the opportunity to form alchemy..."

  Purple-faced strong Chinese have a fierce tone and hate in their eyes.

  Because of the war, he was forced to go to the front line and nearly died. Later, he became a deserter and was wanted by the sect.

  If it was a peaceful age, in a few years he would reach the peak of the late stage of Foundation Establishment, and he would just participate in the Qingming Secret Realm, and his strength would belong to the upper reaches.

   "Affected by the war, the 'Secret Realm of Qingming' may not be able to open smoothly."

  Lu Changan sighed, not sure about it.

  Because of the war situation, he had already made a choice. He chose to attack the ancient ruins and gave up the Qingming Secret Realm.

   There was a sentence that Lu Changan didn't tell the purple-masked man.

  Even if Liang Guozong didn't take the lead in invading Feng Kingdom, the flames of war would burn out sooner or later.

   This is the conclusion Lu Changan drew from the Tianzhilou intelligence.

   "Sect inspection monk!"

   While chatting, there was an exclamation from the tail of the spirit ship, which was a little commotion.

  The two walked out of the room.

  I saw two spirit boats about ten feet long flying towards the rear of the spirit ship.

  On the two spirit boats, there is a fake Dan Daoist sitting on each of the two spirit boats, leading a total of twenty foundation-building monks.

   "Spirit ship ahead, accept inspection!"

  Those two spirit boats are faster than the huge spirit boats, and they cannot get rid of them.

  The spirit ship of the Jiuchen Chamber of Commerce did not resist and stopped.

  Unless you don't want to do business, the Jing Guoling ship will cooperate with Liang Guozong's routine inspection.

   There are Zhendan masters with sects in the border area. If there is a problem, the patrolling monks can contact through emergency summons.

   "You two real people, when we left Bauhinia Immortal City, our spirit ship has already been inspected."

  In the spirit ship of the Jiuchen Chamber of Commerce, a middle-aged man in Confucian shirts greeted him with a smile, speaking neither humble nor overbearing.

  Middle-aged Confucian shirt, is a fake real person sitting on the spirit ship of the Jiuchen Chamber of Commerce.

  In fact, after Ling Jian left Liang Guo, he gave the green light all the way, and this was the first time he was investigated.

   "We have received the latest clues that fugitives from sects may have sneaked into the spirit ship of your chamber of commerce."

   "Your Excellency, please rest assured, we only catch fugitives, and we have no intention of making things difficult for your Chamber of Commerce."

   This team of sect inspection monks is quite polite to the Jiuchen Chamber of Commerce.

  The three major chambers of commerce of the Jingguo Chamber of Commerce, each of which has monks from Zhendan sits in charge, with strong financial resources and extraordinary influence.

   "Jiuchen Chamber of Commerce is willing to cooperate with the investigation. I hope that after boarding the ship, you will not disturb the distinguished guests on the upper level of the spirit ship."

  The middle-aged Rushan raised his hand to let the Spirit Ship Formation open a passage.

  One of the Zongmen's fake alchemy brought a dozen or so Foundation Establishment cultivators into the Spirit Ship to search.

   "Fellow Daoist Wu, Fang goes back to his room first."

  The strong purple-faced man's heart trembled, his calf felt weak, he forced himself to calm down, and returned to the adjacent guest room.

  The frightened monks were not just purple-faced brawny men.

  The dozens of Liang Guo monks who boarded the ship were essentially smuggled immigrants, and many of them had shady identities.

   Then an hour later.

   For the Liang Guo monks on the spirit ship, it was a kind of torment.

   The only good news is.

   This team of sect monks did not investigate too thoroughly. When they entered each room, they only asked a few simple questions.

  Many of the guest rooms on the Spirit Ship are monks from the Jing Kingdom Chamber of Commerce.

  Liang Guo monks only occupy a part.

   not long.

  Two sect monks entered Lu Changan's room with alert expressions.

   "What's your name?"

   "My next one is Wu Fan."

   "What are you doing in Jing Country?"

   "Wu Moujie is a casual repairman, travels between the two countries, and does a little business."

  Lu Changan said with a normal expression.

  Strictly speaking, casual cultivators are not subject to the control of the sect.

  The two monks sized up Lu Changan a few times, found nothing unusual, and left the room.

   This team of sect monks did not go to the upper-class guest room to investigate.

   Two of the Foundation Establishment monks had just approached the guest room of the "Prince Wang", and seemed to have received some sound transmission instruction, and suddenly bowed and retreated.

   An hour later.

  The team of Zongmen monks has completed their inspection.

  A total of seven fugitives and suspicious persons were arrested. One of the monks disobeyed and was killed on the spot.

   Jiuchen Chamber of Commerce not only did not stop, but also assisted in arresting and maintaining order.

   Of the seven monks who suffered, two came from the guest room and five came from the bilge.

   Hoo!

  The purple-faced burly man in the adjacent room, with cold sweat dripping down his back, let out a long breath, and watched the inspecting monks of the sect going away.

  Lu Changan came to visit and asked about the situation, but the purple-faced man was vague.

  Actually, Lu Changan's spiritual sense detected the truth.

  The purple-faced strong man had injuries on his body, and he had a strong evil spirit. He was suspicious, and attracted two monks from the sect to search and interrogate him.

   At the critical moment, the purple-faced burly man bribed the patrol monks, donated a lot of property, and escaped.

   "The guest room on the spirit ship is a private space, and there are restrictions to isolate it. Only in this way can there be room for private bribery and negotiation..."

   Lu Changan secretly said.

  The monks on board are half in the cargo hold below and half in the guest room.

  The former was arrested five people, while the latter only took two people.

  In the cargo hold, in full view, there is no way to openly bribe.

  Once you become a key suspect, you will be arrested and taken away, so there is little room for manipulation.

  Furthermore, Zongmen monks will also watch people order food.

  The monks who live in the guest rooms have stronger financial strength. Some hard stubble, if they stand up and fight, they will also face the risk of backlash if they have talisman treasures in their hands.

   Of course, staying in a guest room does not mean that you are safe and sound, but that you have more chances to grasp your fate.

   Not every visiting monk is easy to talk and easy to buy.

  Lu Changan even suspected that each trip might have a certain task indicator.

  The inspections of the Zongmen monks, the monks of the Jiuchen Chamber of Commerce are used to it, as if it is just a small episode, and they don't care much.

   But then two days.

  Many monks living in the cargo hold have negotiated with the Jiuchen Chamber of Commerce, hoping to spend spirit stones and move to the guest room.

  Obviously, living in a guest room is more secure, and the chances of surviving illegally to Jing State are greater.

   "What! It takes 6,000 spirit stones to live in a guest room? It was still 3,000 spirit stones before."

  The Liang Guo monk who went to negotiate felt chilling.

  The price of the room has doubled!

   "To tell you the truth, the guest rooms are almost full."

   "The price increase is actually a fair screening for everyone."

  The steward of the Jiuchen Chamber of Commerce spoke casually.

  Most of the monks in the cargo hold were relatively poor. After spending a lot of money to board the ship, the spirit stones on their bodies were basically drained.

  In the end, there are very few monks who can afford an upgrade of 6,000 spirit stones.

   You know, a top-grade magic weapon is only two thousand spirit stones.

  During the foundation building period, there were few monks of Lu Changan's worth in the entire Liang Kingdom.

   followed by half a month.

  The spirit ships of the Jiuchen Chamber of Commerce are safe and sound.

  After that, no cultivator from the sect came to inspect it; the pirate cultivators on the way did not dare to attack this spirit ship.

  During this half month, the fate of many Liang Guo monks who boarded the ship had a turning point.

  Especially the monks in the bilge.

  Some craftsmen, in order to obtain security, signed a contract of sale with a monk from a chamber of commerce on the spirit ship.

  For example, if you work for a certain chamber of commerce for twenty years and become a member of the chamber of commerce, you can obtain a legal status, which can guarantee you to arrive in Jing country safely.

   There is also a female cultivator in the bottom cabin, in order to collect spirit stones, live in the guest room, and sell her body on the spirit ship.

  The foundation-building female cultivator, placed in a small place in the Liang Kingdom, can be called a high-ranking fairy, or even an ancestor of a family.

  Now she puts down her noble figure and prostrates herself at the knees of others.

  The door of Lu Changan's room was also knocked by such a nun.

   "Relocating to another country is a difficult journey, like a lamb being slaughtered. This road is really not suitable for ordinary monks..."

  Lu Changan felt emotional in his heart.

  Compared to the struggle of the bilge friar.

  The prince on the third floor of the Lingjian lived a life of singing, dancing and peace. He fled to a foreign country and was served by a beautiful maid.

  Lu Changan was also curious, who is this prince, who can make the sect inspect the monks, but dare not enter the door for inspection.

  He once wanted to use his spiritual sense to detect his true face, but finally held back.

  In case the other party has any special treasure on his body, which can be sensed and detected, it is purely extraneous.

   This day.

  A trade fair was held in the auditorium on the second floor of the Lingjian.

  All monks who live in guest rooms are eligible to participate.

  The monks in Liang Kingdom only accounted for a small part. Most of them are monks from the major chambers of commerce of the Jingguo Chamber of Commerce.

  Now, the spirit ship is far away from Liang Guoxiu's world, so there is no need to worry about the inspections of the Zongmen monks.

  Lu Changan and a purple-faced strong man surnamed Fang attended the trade fair together.

   After that bribery, the purple-faced man actually didn't have many spirit stones on his body.

  He came to the trade fair mainly to get acquainted with the monks of the Jing State Chamber of Commerce, or to build a good relationship with the powerful Liang State monks.

  The auditorium is not small, with dozens of wooden square tables.

  The monks present can sell and buy certain items on the square table.

  At the trade fair, Lu Changan saw Mr. Wang and Miss Wei.

  Many people gathered in front of Prince Wang's square table, including businessmen from Jing State and monks from Liang State.

  Miss Wei didn't sell anything, she just walked around the trade fair, her eyes occasionally lingering briefly on a certain square table.

  Lu Changan could tell that Miss Wei's injuries were not healed.

   It seems that after leaving the ancient ruins, he encountered something on the way and was injured again.

   "Fellow Daoist Wu, how did you think about what Jia said last time?"

  Walking to a certain square table, a black and thin old man in his fifties with sharp eyes looked at Lu Changan with a smile on his face.

  The black and thin old man's surname is Jia, and he is the steward of the New Moon Chamber of Commerce.

  New Moon Chamber of Commerce is the Jingguo Chamber of Commerce that recommended Lu Changan to board the ship.

  Of course, this matter was secretly planned by Li Congren, and the connector was not the same person.

   Guanshi Jia in front of him didn't know Lu Changan's identity, but only knew that he was a monk from Jing Guo recommended by his chamber of commerce to board the ship.

   "Wu, a casual cultivator, is used to freedom. He really doesn't want to sign that contract. He has been driven by others for twenty years."

  Lu Changan bluntly refused.

  A few days ago, Manager Jia of the New Moon Chamber of Commerce took the initiative to contact him, wanting Lu Changan to sign a 20-year contract to serve as the chamber's bodyguard.

  During the contract period, supply the Lingmai Dojo and the basic needs of Lingshi Lingmi.

  The biggest reward is to give Lu Changan the legal status of a chamber of commerce, which can ensure that he arrives in Jing country safely.

   "Fellow Daoist Wu think about it, today is the last chance. The old man thinks that you have such a good intention because of your predestined relationship with the New Moon Chamber of Commerce."

   Manager Jia said with a slightly cold expression.

   "If your Chamber of Commerce is willing to give you a priesthood status, Wu can consider it."

  Lu Changan thought for a while, but did not refuse to die.

   Worship identity, high status, much more freedom.

   Lu Changan went to Jing country, and it would take a lot of time to build the foundation to the ninth floor, and the second-order spiritual vein was indispensable.

  In order to form a pill, a third-order spiritual vein is required.

  If he can establish a good relationship with the local chamber of commerce, it will be beneficial to his alchemy plan.

   "Worship?" Guanshi Jia was taken aback for a moment, and asked back, "May I ask what skills you have?"

   "If the alchemist or array master reaches the second-level mid-level, and other skills reach the second-level top-level, it can barely be negotiated, but a twenty-year contract must be signed."

  Lu Changan thought about it for a while. He personally has the skills to reach the second-level high-grade, only puppet master and talisman master.

   "Wu has a low-level skill of the second level. He doesn't force his status as a consecrator. He can become an external monk of the Guild of Commerce. However, the contract signed must not exceed ten years, and personal freedom cannot be enforced."

   Lu Changan pondered.

  Guard Jia laughed dumbfounded, a sneer flashed in his eyes, and ignored Lu Changan.

   At the trade fair.

  Lu Changan negotiated with the two chambers of commerce again, and the conditions they gave were equally harsh.

  Lu Changan has a feeling that these chambers of commerce seem to be winning, so don't worry about him not giving in.
