Chapter 404: The Worst Thing, Visiting Jiushan

Looking at Zhao Jingfan's departing back, several elders in the hall all looked towards Sect Master Song.

Putting aside Zhao Jingfan's reason that they could not refute, the fact that Master Song sought out Zhao Jingfan was actually a statement of inclination - or, at least, he was considering joining this technical alliance.

"Master? How could you... this is a secret method passed down from our ancestors..."

The old man who had opposed before asked in a very angry tone.

"I think you all know Zheng Fa's past."

Hearing this, everyone nodded.

Maybe other people don’t care so much about who Zheng Fa is, but the people in the Baixian League are not stupid. Who hasn’t asked about Zheng Fa’s past?

Seeing them nod, Sect Leader Song continued to explain: "Then who do you think Zheng Fa is?"

The three people present were all lost in thought. Who would have thought that the old man would be the first to speak: "A peerless genius comparable to Venerable Tianhe. No, a peerless genius stronger than Venerable Tianhe..."

Sect Leader Song was also stunned. He didn't expect that the chief elder who was the most opposed to his sect would speak so highly of Zheng Fa.

The Great Elder of the Qingmu Sect shook his head: "The more talented he is, the more worried I am... Ability and ambition have always been one and the same. Now he has come up with a so-called technical alliance, what about the future?"

Even Sect Leader Song nodded at this.

Tianhe Venerable is powerful, but he also killed a large number of Xuanwei Immortal Sect members...

"What do you think, Master?"

Sect Leader Song said nothing. He just took out a stack of letters from his sleeve, placed them on the table, and asked everyone, "Do you know what this is?"

The elders shook their heads.

"These are letters written by the disciples who entered the Nine Mountains Realm earlier."

Believe? Sect Leader Song continued:

"Although they didn't mention much about what they did in the Nine Mountains Realm in their letter, but..."

"Earlier, they still regarded themselves as members of the Qingmu Sect."

"But a month later, they almost always mentioned Zhengfa."

"Until now..." Sect Leader Song paused for a moment and sighed, "Guess who the Sect Leader they mentioned in the letter is?"

Looking at the expression of their leader, everyone can guess...

Who else could it be?

Anyway, I'm not sitting in this temple.

"Doesn't this... prove Zheng Fa's ambition even more?"

The Great Elder asked in confusion.

“But this ambition is not a bad thing.”

"this……"

The Great Elder was even more puzzled.

Sect Leader Song had probably been thinking about it for a long time, and now he was talking nonstop: "From these letters, we can see that Zheng Fa is an extremely cautious person with a strong desire for control."

"There are so many sects in the Hundred Immortals Alliance, but he doesn't care too much about them. He even rarely interacts with us. I'm afraid he doesn't trust us..."

"But he is very kind to the people in the sect, and even to the people in the Nine Mountains Realm. You all saw the last Golden Core Ceremony of the Nine Mountains Sect... Dozens of Golden Cores were produced within half a month. I will never forget that scene."

"This person is cautious and protective, and he may not even consider the Baixian League and other sects as his own."

The meaning of this statement is very clear. Since Zheng Fa is protective and suspicious, the best choice is to become his own person.

Sect Leader Song's eyes flashed with shrewdness, and he added: "But these letters also revealed another thing..."

"The disciples we sent to Jiushan Sect are at most at the foundation-building stage, but now they have a high status in Jiushan Sect... What does this mean?"

The great elder immediately said:

"The Jiushan Sect is short of people! It's short of alchemists!"

Sect Leader Song nodded: "That's right!"

"This so-called technical alliance is probably due to this reason."

Seeing that everyone was still confused, Sect Leader Song simply said it more bluntly: "The secret method of our ancestors also has a price..."

"The Jiushan Sect won't always be short of alchemists."

The Great Elder understood.

The leader of the family wants to take a gamble.

Seeing that they seemed to understand what he meant, Sect Leader Song let out a sigh and said:

"My Qingmu Sect's accumulation is almost gone, and it will take too long to recover."

The Great Elder opened his mouth, as if he wanted to refute.

"I know that we are all Nascent Souls, so time is not a big deal... But how much time can this mysterious situation give us?"

"Where did you get this from..."

Sect Leader Song picked up another communication talisman, handed it to the Great Elder, and said, "This is the news from Haori Mountain."

"Hao Ri Mountain?"

The elder took the communication talisman and looked at it. His face turned pale and his voice trembled a little: "Hao Ri Mountain wants all the immortal sects in his territory to pay rent and taxes? Those who are above the golden elixir level must perform ten years of labor every hundred years?"

"How can this be possible?"

Sect Leader Song sneered, "How could it not be so? What do you think the six sects' alliance is for?"

“…”

"The Xuanwei Realm has changed. Do you still think Zheng Fa is greedy?"

The Great Elder pursed his lips, unable to speak.

Everything is afraid of comparison, especially comparison of bad things.

At first, he thought that Jiushan Sect's request for their secret techniques was nothing... But after seeing what Hao Rishan did, he realized that Jiushan Sect was really too merciful.

"What's more, as Zhao Jingfan said...if we seize the initiative, there will be some benefits."

The Great Elder's expression changed back and forth, and he finally understood why his own leader wanted to choose to join this technical alliance.

The situation is indeed stronger than people.

If this is the case with Haori Mountain, then the other five sects will naturally not be much different. Only the Hundred Immortals Alliance still has some decent people.

But after a while, he gritted his teeth and said:

"Since the headmaster has made a decision, I cannot object. However, I am unwilling to hand over many of the sect's secret techniques to the Jiushan Sect..."

Sect Leader Song still needs to be persuaded.

Then the old stubborn man stiffened his neck and said, "I don't have much time left. The worst that can happen is that I will die. Even if I die, I still have the face to see the master!"

This left Sect Leader Song speechless. He sighed, and suddenly a communication talisman flew in from outside the door. Sect Leader Song stretched out his hand and took the communication talisman into his palm. Then he frowned and asked in confusion, "Alliance Leader Zheng, are you inviting us to visit the Jiushan Sect?"

Everyone in the hall was confused. What the hell was this tour?

…

Half a month later.

On Tiangong Island, Sect Leader Song, along with three elders and Zhao Jingfan, were staring blankly at a group of seductive women.

"Master Xin? You from Su Nu Pavilion...are you here to visit as well?"

Sect Leader Song looked as if he wanted to say something but hesitated, and asked in a strange tone.

Su Nu Pavilion was also one of the nine supreme sects of the former Hundred Immortals Alliance. Well, it specialized in... the art of seduction.

The Xunfanglou, which was previously spread throughout the Baixian League and had extremely good business, was opened by them.

They came to visit and to join some technical alliance.

Then the same should be true for Sect Leader Xin... But isn't the technology of the Su Nu Pavilion a little outrageous? Four people walked out of the main hall of Tiangong Island.

The first one was Senior Sister Zhang, with a smile on her face, but no one dared to look at her directly... Zheng Fa's record was outrageous, and Senior Sister Zhang's Qingjing Bamboo should not be underestimated.

Senior Sister Zhang followed Master Qian, Jiao Wuji and Senior Sister Yuan.

As soon as she came out, Senior Sister Zhang threw out a few confidentiality agreements, her gesture becoming more and more skilled.

"This is……"

"You can take a look at the terms here. If you don't want to, I'm afraid it will be inconvenient for you to visit the Nine Mountains Realm."

Sect Leader Song was stunned for a moment and read the contents of the agreement.

Although the agreement is long, the wording is simple and easy to understand.

He was slightly excited, as this confidentiality agreement meant that Jiushan Sect would show him something real.

The people from the Qingmu Sect looked at each other, and when they turned around, they saw that Sect Leader Xin and the people from the Su Nu Sect had already signed the agreement, and it seemed that they had not even read the content of the agreement...

Sect Leader Song stopped thinking about it and quickly signed his name.

Senior Sister Zhang glanced at them and nodded.

"The people from the Aoki clan are following me."

"People from Su Nu Pavilion, follow Jiao Wuji."

Because she now has great power, no one dared to say much and everyone acted separately.

Sect Leader Song brought the people from Qingmu Sect, along with Senior Sister Zhang and Master Qian, and moved forward together.

The tour guide, Sister Zhang, introduced the place very attentively: "The first place we have to go is the Jingkai Island Market."

"Jingkai Island is the only island in Jiushanjie where outsiders can come and go freely and has no confidentiality level."

Sect Leader Song smiled and said, "We know that. We have a shop in this market."

He was a smart and flexible person. When the Jingkai Island market was just established, Qingmu Zong rented a shop in the market.

However, the market was open for a short time before the Qingmu Sect was robbed twice, and the shop was not actually in operation.

So, this Qingmu Sect actually has another fortune? Unfortunately, it's just a shop... and it's rented.

"I know." Senior Sister Zhang knew everything about the Nine Mountains Realm, and asked, "But your shop has not been open for much, but someone wants to contact you and ask if you are willing to transfer it."

"transfer?"

Sect Leader Song was stunned for a moment, then asked curiously, "What's the explanation?"

“They are willing to pay the transfer fee.”

Senior Sister Zhang thought about it and gave a number.

The eyes of the great elder standing by widened suddenly.

"The store isn't even open yet, so we can earn ten times the rent by going back and forth?"

He turned his head suddenly, looked at Master Song, and signaled with his eyes: "Sell it!"

God have mercy on them, all the poor disciples of Qingmu Zong are going crazy. This amount of spirit stones was not much before, but now... what can I say?

You can go from having no idea where to get your next meal to living a life of luxury.

Sect Leader Song was also very excited, but he suppressed his ecstasy and wanted to go to the Jingkai Island Market to take a look.

There must be a reason for the appreciation of this shop, right?

He followed Senior Sister Zhang to Jingkai Island.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

As soon as he stepped off Hongqiao, he stopped.

The prosperity before them left the people from Aoki Sect speechless.

Customers were shoulder to shoulder in the three horizontal and three vertical streets, especially in front of some crowded store entrances, where there was no place to turn around.

With neon lights and bustling noise, the entire Jingkai Island market looks like it is steaming with heat.

If it were an ordinary cultivator, he would naturally not feel anything.

But everyone in the Qingmu Sect here knows that it is difficult to be the head of a family. It is even more difficult now. Looking at this scene, their hearts are intoxicated.

Think about the big and small cats in Qingmu Zongfang City now, and then look at what is in front of you. This... is what the Qingmu Zongfang City used to look like. No, this is what the Qingmu Zongfang City in the dream should look like.

"No wonder someone wants to sublet the shop..."

At this time, the Great Elder also woke up.

With such a large number of customers, the shops inside are simply a treasure trove! Sect Leader Song looked outside the market and noticed that Jingkai Island had a pier at some point, with a dozen strange-looking boats parked on the pier.

Senior Sister Zhang also followed his gaze and saw Han Qi at the dock, greeting the passengers on the boat to go to the island. She couldn't help but laugh.

She was also deeply impressed by Han Qi.

By some strange coincidence, this person was the first one in Jiushan Sect to join his junior fellow apprentice, so he was also quite lucky.

Now he has also established his foundation.

Even...the other party is in charge of the fleet that is currently picking up ships from Jingkai Island.

Thinking of the shuttle boat, Senior Sister Zhang looked dazed - this was also the work of Junior Brother Zheng, and it was even the first reform Junior Brother Zheng carried out in the Nine Mountains Realm.

The effect was good at the time and brought a lot of additional income to the market.

Afterwards, with the emergence of the Great Freedom Demon Sect, the Jiushan Market was abandoned and ceased to exist.

Now this ferry has reappeared in the arena——

The Nine Mountains Realm is not fixed in one place now, but wanders around in the vast area of ​​the Hundred Immortals Alliance. It stays in each place for about half a year.

This is also what Junior Brother Zheng meant.

According to what Junior Brother Zheng said, this model can carve the name of the Nine Mountains Sect on this land, letting all the major sects and families in the area know that there is a Nine Mountains Realm above their heads.

But the biggest reason is to facilitate doing business.

The Nine Mountains Realm today is equivalent to a mobile shopping mall. Wherever it goes, it will attract cultivators in the area to trade there.

The reception boat was re-established to facilitate the arrival of these monks.

Today's shuttle boats are no longer the same as they used to be.

Sect Leader Song had some good eyesight. Looking at the round ball of light on the bow of the guided ship, he was speechless and said, "External elixir?"

Senior Sister Zhang nodded.

This reception ship can be said to be an upgraded version of the Shenxiao flying boat.

There is only one improvement. There is a complete Shenxiao Waidan on the reception boat!

In addition to providing power to the ship, its greatest use is to unleash the power of the Golden Core in an emergency to attack the enemy.

Or, according to my junior fellow apprentice, this thing is called the Shenxiao Battleship!

Compared with the previous shuttle ship, the Shenxiao battleship is more expensive, after all, it requires a Shenxiao external pill.

But it is very cheap to use - because the power does not come from the spirit stone, but from the external pill itself.

After making it, it is almost pure profit! The most important thing is that it can also be used for fighting.

A dozen Shenxiao warships were parked at the dock, making Sect Leader Song's eyes full of envy.

How much would these things be worth after being dismantled...

"This... is expensive, right?"

Thinking of the poverty of the sect, he asked, but as soon as he said this, his face turned red again, and he felt that he was quite useless.

Senior Sister Zhang thought for a while and nodded.

Sect Leader Song breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing that even Zhang Wuyi thought it was expensive, he felt much better.

"It takes half a month's income from the market to build one..."

Sect Leader Song's expression twisted slightly, and he wanted to curse, but looking at Senior Sister Zhang's cold eyes, he really didn't dare to speak.

He turned his head stiffly and looked at Han Qi who was giving orders at the dock, and asked, "How could your sect trust a disciple in the early stage of foundation building to manage these ten or so external pills?"

Senior Sister Zhang smiled and did not hide the fact: "This person is very good at managing these shuttle boats."

At the beginning, Zheng Fa and Han Qi met on the welcoming boat.

Later, when Zheng Fa carried out reforms on docking ships, Han Qi was also among the first group of disciples of Jiushan Sect who went around to dock and guide monks.

It can be said that he understood Zheng Fa's arrangements for the docking boats best, and indeed, these docking boats were managed very well by him - Han Qi also contributed to the bustle of Jingkai Island.

After listening to this, Sect Leader Song also showed some understanding on his face.

Then Senior Sister Zhang added: "He has another advantage..."

"What?"

"It's early to join Junior Brother Zheng."

Early surrender...

Of course, Sect Leader Song understood the hidden meaning and turned to look at his own stubborn elder.

But the Grand Elder of Qingmu Sect didn't listen to what the two of them were saying at this time. He was looking at a shop selling elixirs in the market.

There aren't many customers in this store in the Jingkai Island Market, but it is still surrounded by customers in three layers inside and outside.

He sniffed, as if he smelled some medicinal elixir, and asked in surprise: "This smell, is this the shop of the True Spirit Sect?"

Senior Sister Zhang couldn't help but glance at the old man with some interest in her expression.

This is indeed the shop of the Zhenling Sect. The Zhenling Sect is a Jindan Sect in the Baixian League, and is also good at alchemy. Of course, it is not as powerful as the Qingmu Sect.

What's even more amazing is that this old man could actually figure out the owner of the shop with just one sniff? Sect Master Song explained in a low voice: "The Great Elder is the person with the highest attainments in alchemy in our Qingmu Sect. Some of the secrets of alchemy are only mastered by the Great Elder."

It was precisely because of this that he valued the old man's opinion so much. There were some secret methods that he really didn't know! Senior Sister Zhang nodded, thinking that the elder was a little stupid. This man ignored others, frowned, stared at the shop, and suddenly cursed:

"What the hell is this True Spirit Sect! With such a small weight, how can it have such a good business?"

When Sect Leader Song heard this, he was also jealous. They all made a living by selling pills, and they knew the profits clearly. Just by looking at this shop, they knew that the Zhenling Sect was making a fortune.

The most important thing is that the alchemy technology of the Zhenling Sect is far inferior to theirs!

This is even more... infuriating!

"Master, that shop cannot be sold! You give it to me! In less than three years..." The elder looked at it for a long time, and suddenly whispered, "We will be richer than before!"

Sect Leader Song nodded slowly.

Then he laughed bitterly again: "Great Elder, have you forgotten that we are out of medicinal herbs in our sect..."

"Three years is not enough for those spiritual herbs to grow."

The Great Elder was stunned when he heard this, and his face suddenly darkened.

No matter how powerful his skills are, he can do nothing without magic medicine.

Although the elixir can be purchased from outside, the cost and channels are a big problem...

After all the calculations, it seems really difficult to make a lot of money in a short period of time.

Sect Leader Song and the Grand Elder of the Qingmu Sect looked at each other, and their tongues turned bitter when they thought of the miserable state of their own medicine garden.

…

At this time, Master Qian on the side spoke up: "Everyone, after visiting this market, why don't you go to our sect's medicine garden?"

Medicine garden?

When Sect Leader Song heard these two words now, they were really irritating.

The Great Elder probably thinks so too.

Although it was harsh, the Qingmu Sect's group did not dare to refuse. They just followed Senior Sister Zhang with strange expressions and came to the medicine garden.

At this time, the experimental fields in the medicine garden no longer had the previous spiritual rice and various crops, but were replaced by a batch of medicinal materials.

"Fuyao leaves, ivy, star grass..."

The Great Elder opened his mouth, his eyes dazed, and counted the herbs one by one, mumbling as if in a dream.

Sect Leader Song's expression was about to break at this moment.

The medicinal materials in this experimental field were all cultivated in his Qingmu Sect's original medicine garden.

Moreover, more and stronger.

Now this experimental field is exactly like the Qingmu Sect's medicine garden in the past, no, it is the appearance of the Qingmu Sect's medicine garden in the dream! They cultivate these medicinal herbs because the Qingmu Sect needs these spiritual medicines! He certainly knew at this time that the Jiushan Sect cultivated these medicinal herbs just to hook his soul, hurt his heart, and make him drool!

He had thought about the Jiushan Sect offering bribes, but such a precise nesting was a bit too much...

Who leaked the news that there were only a few people left in the Qingmu Sect? Sect Master Song turned around and looked at Zhao Jingfan, who was grinning with two rows of white teeth. At this moment, in his eyes, the three words were written on this guy's face shamelessly: It's me! (End of this chapter)
