"Friend Wei, are you going back?"
“No hurry.”
"Where else do you want to go? I can lead the way for you."
"I want to find a disciple, but Guo Jin alone is not enough."
Jiang Li'an burst into laughter, and her charming and delicate face immediately looked like a thousand flowers in full bloom, making it difficult for people to look away:
"I've said it before, although Guo Jin is honest, he's still a bit dull as a senior disciple... So, Brother Wei, are you planning to find someone smart this time?"
"Yes." Wei Dongliu nodded and said, "It would be better if you could call her 'Huang Rong'."
Jiang Li’an:?
Does the name Huang Rong have any special meaning?
She didn't ask any more questions, but just made a note of it in her mind.
The two were about to fly up on their swords again when they suddenly saw Wen Yang coming back to them and smiled at Jiang Li'an:
"I almost forgot... I heard that Brother Jiang is proficient in the 'Ten-Aspect Interpretation', which is difficult for even a Yuanying cultivator to see through. I wonder if it's true or not?"
"Fellow Daoist Wen, you are too kind." Jiang Li'an refused to admit it, but smiled and said, "It's just a trivial skill, not worth mentioning."
Wen Yang pondered for a moment and said:
"Actually, I have a business deal that I would like to share with Brother Daoist Jiang."
"Business?" Jiang Li'an was slightly surprised.
"Yes." Wen Yang turned his head to look at Wei Dongliu, and seeing that he had no intention of leaving, he said, "It's a business related to the Orthodox Church."
Jiang Li'an understood immediately.
The Three Pure Ones of the orthodox religion and the Six Paths of the evil religion, although on the surface they are irreconcilable, they are also constantly fighting in private.
However, if both parties have the need to exchange interests, they can also make some transactions secretly:
For example, if a disciple of the Demon Sect got a sword, which is exactly what a disciple of the Orthodox Sect has been looking for, so he wants to sell it to him, is that okay?
OK.
The only hidden danger is that the other party may choose to trade first and kill later, getting both money and goods directly...
After all, on the surface, good and evil cannot coexist, and killing the other is politically correct, and there is no need to worry about the notoriety of "murder for money".
Even if the sect behind him knew about it, they would not punish him for this.
Therefore, a safer way came into being, which is to entrust the transaction to a third-party neutral cultivator to trade with the other party on your behalf, so that the other party has no legitimate reason to overturn the table.
This independent cultivator must be strong enough to prevent the other party from having the idea of killing and robbing. Otherwise, once the matter is leaked, the sect will not be able to explain it, and the orthodox sect is particularly sensitive in this regard.
At the same time, this independent cultivator must be someone he can trust, to prevent him from running away with the money and goods halfway... This makes it even more difficult to find the right person.
The reason why Wen Yang chose Jiang Li'an, who was proficient in the Ten Aspects of Interpretation, was because she could use illusion to disguise herself as a casual cultivator and conduct transactions with a certain orthodox religion.
Another point is that Jiang Li'an was born into the Tianmo Sect, so he would not abandon his master and run away for such a small amount of money. His safety is much higher than that of ordinary independent cultivators.
Thinking of this, Jiang Li'an shook his head and declined politely:
"What a pity, Fellow Daoist Wen. Although the Ten-Aspect Interpretation Technique can disguise itself, it is not without flaws. I cannot put myself in danger because of this."
"I can give you 30% of the transaction amount." Wen Yang held up three fingers.
Jiang Li'an hesitated for a moment, but still shook his head.
In the past, she might have agreed - that's 30% of the transaction profit!
You know, even for independent brokers in the world of cultivation, the transaction fee is only 5% at most.
However, ever since her illusion disguise was seen through by a disciple of Penglai Yuqing Temple on Wuzhi Fairy Island last time, Witch Jiang has become much more cautious in this regard.
Having money is good, but if you might lose your life because of it, it is not worth it.
"Okay." Wen Yang retracted his fingers, but there was no disappointment on his face. "It seems that I can't do this business."
"Wait a minute." Wei Dongliu suddenly said, "Fellow Daoist Wen just needs help, right?"
"That's right." Wen Yang turned his gaze to him, wondering if this person was the inheritor of the Taoist tradition of Taiyi Tongxuan Wanfa Zhenren?
I remember that Wanfa Zhenren first practiced superior magic skills, but later he came to his senses somehow and switched to practicing Xuanmen Qi-refining techniques.
As a result, the disciples with higher seniority all practiced advanced magic skills with him in their early years; while the disciples with lower seniority and who had just joined the sect all practiced the Xuanmen Qi-refining technique.
The two sides were clearly divided and had opposing attitudes. Both sides believed that their own path of cultivation was the best, so much so that there was a subtle dispute over the orthodoxy.
Later, in order to solve this problem, Wanfa Zhenren went out to look for inspiration. He wanted to create a Qi-refining technique that could allow the clear and turbid Qi to transform into each other... but he never came back, and it also laid the groundwork for the subsequent division and destruction of Wanfa Tongxuan Sect.
Of course, let's not talk about the past first. Since this fellow Taoist Wei has inherited the Taoist tradition of Wanfa Zhenren, will he also practice Xuanmen Qi Refining Technique?
The superior magic skills circulate a large amount of clear air and a small amount of turbid air. The former is used for breathing and body training, while the latter is good at fighting and killing.
The turbid air was refined into demonic energy, which was more lethal, but it was as strong as the stench of a toilet. Once contaminated, it would be impossible to escape from the consciousness of the orthodox monks.
But if you practice Xuanmen Qi Refining Technique from the beginning, then there will be no problem...
Wen Yang's way of thinking is similar to Jiang Li'an's, or in other words, today's elite disciples of the Demon Cult, who have stood out in an environment surrounded by dangers, all like to think the problem through carefully in their minds, and then test it step by step without making any noise.
Therefore, he thought about it for a long time before slowly asking:
"Friend Wei, do you have any experience dealing with the Orthodox Church?"
"I wouldn't call it experience." Wei Dongliu said calmly, "I just have some understanding of Orthodoxy."
Wen Yang pondered for a moment and turned his gaze to Jiang Li'an.
Jiang Li'an smiled slightly and took a half step towards Wei Dongliu.
Wen Yang immediately understood and said seriously:
"Fellow Daoist Jiang's friend is my friend, Wen. I trust him. What do you think of the 30% profit we agreed on?"
"Profit is not important. What's important is that I also want to make friends with Brother Wen." Wei Dongliu smiled faintly.
Wen Yang immediately burst into laughter. Although his laughter was generous and heroic, it was a bit harsh on the eyes given his gentle appearance.
"Okay, let's find a place to talk about it in detail."
The three of them found a dilapidated temple nearby. After confirming that there was no one around, Wen Yang slowly told the story:
"Song He, the 275th generation chief disciple of Kunlun Taiqing Sect, came to me privately a few days ago and wanted to use me to get rid of his fellow apprentice Qiu Changtian."
"Oh?" Jiang Li'an raised his lips and said in a long voice, "I didn't expect that the Orthodox Church appears to be righteous on the surface, but is even more despicable than us in private. At least when we deal with our fellow disciples, we challenge them openly."
"That's right." Wen Yang glanced at her calmly without exposing her lies. He just continued, "When I was exploring an ancient ruin in my early years, I met Kunlun Songhe and established some friendship with him. That's why he asked me for help this time."
Jiang Li'an smiled but said nothing.
Friendship? I'm afraid it's more than that. There should be common interests.
What common interests could an elite disciple of the Taiqing Sect and an elite disciple of the Yin Gui Dao have? It was nothing more than exchanging secret information of the orthodox and demonic sects without telling their master... Of course, this matter was too sensitive, and Wen Yang would definitely not admit it.
"That is to say, now that our friendship has ended, Brother Wen is planning to sell out Song He to Kunlun Taiqing Sect, right?" Wei Dongliu, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke out of the blue.
Wen Yang slightly widened his eyes, thinking that this person's thinking is very sharp, he can guess my intention in advance... But he sneered:
"Friendship is like money, it will eventually run out. I originally thought that Song He would definitely be able to get the position of Kunlun's next chief of the Foundation Establishment Realm, so I condescended to make friends with him in advance."
"But I didn't expect that Qiu Changtian would suddenly appear and abruptly cut off Song He's path to the top!"
"I have heard about Qiu Changtian recently." Witch Jiang showed a thoughtful look, "According to the bounty information, it is said that this person is a rare 'heart of Tao'?"
"That's right." Wen Yang said with a grim expression, "The heart of Tao is clear, I don't need to say more, you can find out its power in the classics."
"With Qiu Changtian, Song He is no longer worth making friends with. It would be fine if he didn't contact me in the future, but he gave me this handle. If I don't use it well, how can I be worthy of the title of 'Judge' given to me by my master?"
