Chapter 1881 Contact
There are many Yuanying and Jindan 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 outside world.
He understands very well how the Yan family and Yinjiabao view their team.
They are regarded as an external agency of a big power. Anyway, if they don't say it themselves, others won't ask.
In the six months since they entered Hongye Ridge, the team members hardly went out, and even if they went out, they rarely contacted the Xiuxian world.
This way of doing things made the Yan family feel relieved, but they also planted a lot of spies around.
Yinjiabao even killed all the Feng family members, which obviously cut off some of their desire to investigate.
But now, someone in the team is about to pass the Jindan tribulation thunder, and it is impossible to keep a low profile.
Helping them to protect the law is not a big problem. Even if a Yuanying dares to come and cause trouble, if he can escape, it will be considered that he has superb escape skills!
But after passing the tribulation, how to continue to integrate smoothly into the Xiuxian world is a bit of a thought.
Qu Jianlei thought for a moment and decided, "It seems that we have to go to the market to sell some things."
In the past six months, the team has been engaged in internal construction, and there is no way to make money, which is equivalent to spending money all the time.
The team has prepared enough resources for this expedition. Although there are many ups and downs along the way, it is not stretched for the time being.
But the spirit stones... there are really not many brought into this world, and it cost 300,000 to buy land.
In the world of immortal cultivation, if you want to purchase cultivation resources, you can't use energy blocks, right?
Now that Claire and Hualei are about to advance, it's time to test the depth of the world of immortal cultivation.
Everyone is excited to hear that they are going to go shopping for the first time in the world of immortal cultivation.
It's okay for the shopping maniac Claire to advance, but the paranoid is indeed unusually persistent, "Mu Yu hasn't relaxed for a long time."
Mu Yu really hasn't been out for too long. In the ten years before leaving the empire, she basically spent all her time in the Black Horse Tower.
In addition to the thirty years in the void, she has been holding back longer than anyone else.
However, Duogan said calmly, "Mu Yu went to the market... Very good, I will 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 strive to advance to the Nascent Soul stage as soon as possible!"
"Senior Chaoyun... I listen to what Senior Brother says," Mu Yu nodded obediently, "But I haven't been out for a long time."
"Next time, Senior Brother will take you next time," the paranoid man patted his chest, "Just the two of us, not them!"
In the end, the ones who went out were Qu Jianlei, Jing Yuexin, Duogan, Jia Shuiqing, and... a little snake.
Qing Hu is a person who can bear loneliness very well. Two Yuanyings are enough to guard Hongye Ridge.
Although Qu Jianlei and his group went out, they were all strangers, but 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.
But Hongye Ridge is already famous, and no one dares to provoke it easily.
The four of them spent two days leisurely rushing to Yanjiafangshi.
Yanjiafangshi is already the largest in the surrounding area, but the permanent population is only 70,000 to 80,000.
The main reason is that the surrounding area is really vast and sparsely populated. Those who have been to Blue Star know that there are really no people, not pretending.
Moreover, there are various ways for cultivators to travel. If they come occasionally, they can also leave quickly. There is no need to live in the market.
When the four entered the market, they had to pay an entrance fee of one spirit stone as a rule.
This is a hard rule, and it can also be seen that Yanjiafangshi is indeed not big, and they have to make money in this way.
The real big market... stop talking, people play with the transaction volume.
The 70,000 to 80,000 people living in the market do not have to pay this fee.
Only those who work in big cities will know that although they have saved a fee to enter the market, they are surviving rather than living.
Many prices have been determined long ago, they just did not pay the fee on the surface.
Qu Jianlei and the other four paid the fee to enter the market. Someone saw that they were unfamiliar and took the initiative to recommend themselves as tour guides.
If the Yan family only has this level of management, Qu Jianlei really wants to complain.
Fortunately, just as someone came forward to solicit business, Yan Sicong came over from a distance.
"Get out of the way, a bunch of blind people, this is the partner of the Yan family!"
In the territory of the Yan family, the word partner is not a neutral word.
They are the overlords of one side, and it is impossible for them to regard ordinary subordinate forces as partners, which will be detrimental to management.
Yan Sicong has never seen these four people, but he got the news that they all came from Hongye Ridge.
He sensed a little and found that he could not sense the cultivation of the other party at all.
One or two would be fine, but he could not sense the cultivation of all four people, which was terrifying.
He just strengthened his perception a little, and Duo Gan looked over. There was no pressure in his eyes, only a hint of coldness.
Among the four Nascent Souls, she has been in charge of the big forces for the longest time. She has the aura of a superior, and she usually has to deliberately restrain herself.
Yan Sicong immediately felt the hairs on his back stand up, and he quickly dispersed his perception.
For him, this was something difficult to understand. The other party did not release pressure, but he felt a huge threat that was vague.
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.
He was impolite to rashly sense the cultivation of others.
Of course, if there was no powerful force behind the other party, it would be impolite, but it was not the case at the moment.
He calmed down and asked calmly, "It's rare to see someone from Hongye Ridge come out. I don't know why?"
Jia Shuiqing spoke slowly, "Buy some supplies and sell some by the way."
Don't you have no output? Yan Sicong's heart moved.
The Jindan Zhenren in the clan ignored Hongye Ridge, mainly because these people almost never contacted the outside world and had a poor sense of existence.
If these people really jumped up and down and actively contacted the surrounding forces, the Yan family would definitely change their strategy.
However, Yan Sicong was not in a hurry to confirm the situation, but just spoke calmly.
"I wonder what items you want to purchase, can I help?"
"Just a casual stroll," Jia Shuiqing still replied calmly, "I also want to sell some supplies."
"It would be great if you are willing to help."
"Selling?" Yan Sicong thought to himself that he had come.
However, what the other party sold was not necessarily the output, but some items that were originally carried.
Anyway, it was a good thing that the other party did not mind his participation, at least he could learn more.
"I am also honored to help my friend. I wonder if you want to sell it to my Yan family, or do you have a target?"
Jia Shuiqing answered concisely, "The highest bidder wins."
"Oh? This needs to be taken a closer look," Yan Sicong immediately became interested, raised his eyebrows, "Follow me."
Dare to say that the highest bidder wins, then the things sold must be good, and maybe he can even take a look at the other party's background.
Then he noticed very keenly that the other party was still very calm when he heard his invitation.
The four of them didn't even make eye contact. Kun Xiu, who was speaking, waved his hand calmly, and the others also looked at him relaxedly.
Is this because my Yan family has a good reputation, or... they don't care about possible threats at all?
Yan Sicong was thinking in his heart, but a warm smile appeared on his face.
He led the four people to walk quickly, turned two corners, and came to the gate of a large courtyard.
This is a reception point in the Yan family's foreign affairs hall, used to entertain VIPs. From the outside, it looks quite magnificent.
Two young Qi-refining cultivators were sitting lazily at the door. When they saw Yan Sicong, they stood up quickly and said, "Hello, Deacon Sicong."
In fact, these two are both Yan family members. In this occasion, they did not use the family's name, which is considered to be a bit of a rule.
"Stand up," Yan Sicong said casually, "What a mess!"
The two Yan family members did not say anything back. When they saw the deacon leading the four people in, they spread their hands helplessly.
This is how young people are. They know that the reception point represents the majesty of the family, but in normal times... it's not necessary, right?
Besides, although the four were strangers, the steward had not informed everyone in advance, so they were obviously not particularly important guests.
The courtyard was very elegant, with winding paths, pavilions, and small bridges.
Yan Sicong brought the four people to a main room and asked people to serve tea.
"Try my Yan family's Qingxin tea. I usually don't want to drink it. It only produces a few taels every year."
Old Mrs. Jia took the teacup first, took a sip, squinted her eyes to feel it, and then nodded slowly, "Not bad!"
The tea was filled with spiritual energy and a faint fragrance, and the aftertaste was long, and even the spiritual energy seemed to have a sense of transparency.
One sip can bring people a sense of emptiness and relaxation, and it also has an extremely subtle stabilizing effect on the soul.
But Jia Shuiqing really doesn't think it is precious - it's probably just a little helpful to the foundation-building cultivators.
But she couldn't help but sigh secretly, it really deserves to be the world of immortal cultivation, and it's so magical when you take out something casually.
Then she asked again, "I wonder how much this thing costs?"
She didn't think that this tea really only produced a few taels every year. If that was the case, it would not be the turn of a foundation-building cultivator to entertain guests.
"Hehe," Yan Sicong smiled, thinking that the second-level spiritual tea, which 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 the teacup, sipped it lightly, and didn't say anything.
But Duo Gan didn't go to serve the tea, and there was no expression on his face, just pretending that he didn't hear it.
Although Jia Shuiqing didn't warn, and tea shouldn't be a poison that can hide from the Nascent Soul, she will still remain vigilant.
Anyway, she just shocked the other party a little, so she simply defined herself as a bodyguard.
Yan Sicong also saw the other party's reaction - it really is a method.
The other party acted very calm and relaxed, but at the same time, naturally maintained the corresponding vigilance.
