Chapter 1881 Contact
There are many Nascent Souls and Golden Cores in Qu Jianlei's team. They usually wander around with their spiritual consciousness when they have nothing to do, and they know a lot about the situation in the outside world.
He understood very well how everyone from the Yan family to Yinjiabao viewed their team.
They are regarded as an external agency of a powerful force. Since they don't say anything themselves, others won't ask.
In the six months since they moved into Hongye Ridge, the team members rarely went out, and even if they did, they rarely came into contact with the world of immortal cultivation.
This way of doing things made the Yan family feel more at ease, but they also placed a lot of spies in the surrounding area.
Yinjiabao even killed all the members of the Feng family, which obviously cut off their desire to investigate.
But now, someone in the team is about to go through the golden elixir tribulation thunder, and it is impossible to keep this matter low-key.
Helping them to protect the Dharma is not a big problem. Even if a Nascent Soul dares to cause trouble, if he can escape, it will be considered as his superb escape technique!
However, after overcoming the tribulation, how to continue to smoothly integrate into the world of immortal cultivation is a bit difficult to think about.
Qu Jianlei thought for a moment and decided, "Looks like I have to go to the market to sell some things."
Over the past six months, the team has been engaged in internal construction and has not developed any way to make money, which means it has been spending money all the time.
The team prepared enough resources for this expedition. Although there were many difficulties along the way, they were not stretched to the limit for the time being.
But the spirit stones... there are really not many brought into this world, and it cost three hundred thousand to buy the land.
If you want to purchase cultivation resources in the world of immortal cultivation, you can't use energy blocks, right?
Now that Claire and Hualei are about to advance, it is time to test the depth of the world of cultivation.
Everyone was very excited when they heard that they were going to go shopping in the world of immortal cultivation for the first time.
It would be fine if Claire, the shopping maniac, was about to advance, but the paranoid maniac was indeed unusually persistent, "Mu Yu hasn't relaxed for a long time."
Mu Yu really hadn't been out for a long time. In the ten years before leaving the empire, she basically spent her time in the Black Horse Tower.
Add to that the nearly thirty years she spent in the void, and she has been holding it in longer than anyone else.
Duo Gan said calmly, "Mu Yu is going to the market... That's great. I'll accompany her."
The paranoid man was stunned for a moment, then said, "Forget it, I think the base of Hongye Ridge must be defended!"
Then he looked at Mu Yu and said softly, "You have to hurry up and try to advance to the Nascent Soul stage as soon as possible!"
"Senior Chaoyun... I will listen to what you say," Mu Yu nodded obediently, "but I haven't been out for a long time."
"Next time, I'll take you with me," the paranoid man patted his chest, "It's just the two of us, not them!"
In the end, the people who went out were Qu Jianlei, Jing Yuexin, Duo Gan, Jia Shuiqing, and... a little snake.
Qing Hu is a person who can endure loneliness very well. Two Yuanyings are enough for him to guard Hongye Ridge.
When Qu Jianlei and his group went out, although they were all strangers, there were too many people staring at Hongye Ridge.
The auras of the four people were hidden very well, and ordinary people could not judge them.
However, Hongyeling is already famous, and no one dares to provoke it easily.
It took the four of them two days to leisurely reach Yanjiafang City.
Yanjiafang City is already the largest in the surrounding area, but its permanent population is only about 70,000 to 80,000.
The main reason is that the surrounding area is really vast and sparsely populated. Anyone who has been to Blue Star knows that there is really no one there and they are not pretending.
Moreover, cultivators have various ways of traveling. They can come here occasionally and leave quickly. There is no need to stay in the market.
When the four of them entered the market town, they had to pay an entrance fee of one spirit stone as per custom.
This is a mandatory rule, and it also shows that Yanjiafang Market is indeed not big, and it has to make money in this way.
The real Dafang Market...let’s cut to the chase, they’re all about transaction volume.
The 70,000 to 80,000 people living in the market town do not have to pay this fee.
Only those who work in big cities will know that although they save the cost of entering the market, they are just surviving rather than living.
Many prices have been determined long ago, they just haven’t paid the explicit fee.
Qu Jianlei and his three companions paid the fee to enter the market town. Someone, seeing that they were strangers, came forward and offered to be their tour guide.
If this is the only management level of the Yan family, Qu Jianlei really wants to complain.
Fortunately, someone came forward to solicit business, and Yan Sicong walked over from a distance.
"Get out of the way, you blind bastards! These are the Yan family's accomplices!"
In the Yan family’s territory, the word “partner” is not a neutral word.
After all, they are the overlords of a region. It is impossible for them to treat ordinary forces under their jurisdiction as partners, as that would be detrimental to their management.
Yan Sicong had never seen these four people, but he had received news that they all came from Hongyeling.
He sensed it a little bit and found that he could not sense the other party's cultivation at all.
One or two would be fine, but he couldn't sense the cultivation levels of four people. That was terrifying.
He had just strengthened his perception a little when Dogan looked over at him. There was no pressure in his eyes, only a hint of coldness.
Among the four Nascent Souls, she has been in charge of the power for the longest time. She has the aura of a superior and usually has to restrain herself.
Yan Sicong immediately felt the hairs on his back stand up and he quickly dispersed his awareness.
For him, this was something very difficult to understand. The other party did not release any pressure, but he felt a huge threat that was both present and not present.
Even the Jindan ancestor of the clan had never given him this feeling.
He couldn't help but have a thought in his mind: Could it be that this Kun Xiu is also a Jindan Zhenren?
Anyway, he didn't dare to do it again, and he didn't have the intention to pursue the other party.
It was impolite of him to rashly sense other people's cultivation level.
Of course, if the other party does not have any powerful force behind him, then it would be impolite, but that is not the case now.
He collected himself and asked calmly, "It's rare to see someone coming out of Red Leaf Ridge. I wonder why?"
Jia Shuiqing said slowly, "Buy some supplies and sell some at the same time."
Don’t you have no output? Yan Sicong’s heart moved.
The Jindan Zhenren in the tribe ignored Hongye Ridge, mainly because this group of people had almost no contact with the outside world and had a very weak sense of existence.
If these people really jump up and down and actively contact surrounding forces, the Yan family will definitely change their strategy.
However, Yan Sicong was not in a hurry to implement the situation, but just spoke calmly.
"I wonder what you want to buy, can I help you?"
"I'm just strolling around," Jia Shuiqing replied calmly, "mainly I want to sell some supplies."
"It would be great if you were willing to help."
"Is it for sale?" Yan Sicong thought to himself, as expected, it has come.
However, what the other party sells may not necessarily be the output, but may be some of the items they originally carried.
Anyway, it’s a good thing that the other party doesn’t mind his participation. At least he can learn more.
"I am honored to be able to help a friend. I wonder if you want to sell it to my Yan family, or do you have a target in mind?"
Jia Shuiqing answered succinctly, "The highest bidder wins."
"Oh? This is something I have to take a closer look at," Yan Sicong immediately became interested and raised his eyebrows, "Everyone, follow me."
If you dare to say that the highest bidder wins, then the item you sell must be good, and you may even be able to find out the other party's background.
Then he noticed very keenly that the other party was still very calm after hearing his invitation.
The four of them didn't even make basic eye contact. Kun Xiu, who was speaking, waved his hand calmly, and the others also looked at him in a relaxed manner.
Is it because my Yan family has a good reputation, or is it that... they simply don't care about possible threats?
Yan Sicong was thinking in his mind, but a warm smile appeared on his face.
He led the four people and walked quickly, turned two corners, and arrived at the gate of a large courtyard.
This is a reception point in the Yan family's Foreign Affairs Hall, used to entertain distinguished guests. From the outside, it looks quite grand.
There were two young Qi-refining practitioners sitting lazily at the door. When they saw Yan Sicong, they stood up immediately and said, "Greetings, Deacon Sicong."
In fact, these two are both members of the Yan family. They did not use family titles in this kind of occasion, which does seem to be somewhat orderly.
"Stand still," Yan Sicong said casually, "What a mess!"
The two Yan family disciples did not say anything back. When they saw the deacon and four others walk in, they spread their hands helplessly.
Young men are like this, they know that the reception point represents the family’s dignity, but in normal times... it’s not necessary, right?
Besides, although the four people were strangers, the deacon did not inform everyone in advance, so they were obviously not particularly important guests.
The environment inside the courtyard is very elegant, with winding paths, pavilions, towers and bridges over flowing water.
Yan Sicong brought the four people into a main room and served them tea.
"Try the Qingxin tea from my Yan family. I usually can't bear to drink it because we only produce a few ounces of it every year."
Old Lady Jia took the lead in picking up the teacup, took a sip, squinted her eyes to feel it, and then nodded slowly, "Not bad!"
The tea carries spiritual energy and a light fragrance with a long aftertaste, and even the spiritual energy seems to have a sense of transparency.
One sip can bring a sense of emptiness and relaxation, and also has an extremely subtle stabilizing effect on the soul.
But Jia Shuiqing really doesn’t think it is that precious - it may just be of some help to those who are building their foundation.
However, she couldn't help but secretly sigh, this is truly the world of immortal cultivation, any item they took out is so miraculous.
Then she asked again, "I wonder how much this thing is worth?"
She didn't think that the tea really only produced a few ounces every year. If that were the case, it would not be the turn of a foundation-building cultivator to entertain guests.
"Haha," Yan Sicong smiled and thought to himself that a second-level spiritual tea that can nourish the soul can't be bought with spiritual stones casually.
Then he looked at Qu Jianlei and the other two, smiled and stretched out his hand, "Try it?"
Qu Jianlei and Jing Yuexin both picked up their teacups, took a sip, and said nothing.
But Dogan did not serve tea, and there was no expression on his face, as if he didn't hear anything.
Although Jia Shuiqing did not give any warning, and tea should not be a poison that can be hidden from the Nascent Soul, she still remained vigilant.
Anyway, she had just frightened the other party a little, so she might as well define herself as a bodyguard.
Yan Sicong also took note of the other party's reaction - it turned out to be very methodical.
The other party appeared to be very calm and relaxed, but at the same time, naturally maintained a certain level of alertness.
