Today I hold the world

"Not surprisingly, the first task of this ghost list is to find the monument of immeasurable imperial edicts. Does leader Zhao really have the idea of ​​establishing a sect?"

...

"Needless to say? Leader Zhao is the well-deserved No. 1 golden elixir in Huaishan now. Sitting in the upper and two cities of Huaiyang, how many financial backgrounds and subordinates are there? At this point, isn't it just to establish a sect? A natural thing."

...

"That's right, it's just that since the Huaiyin River's evil spirits rushed out seven years ago and turned the original Wang Family Mountain Gate into a place of ghosts and ghosts, who would dare to go there to die?"

……

The crowd crowded around and looked at the content of the notice sign. In front of Zhong Ziyan, there were two Qi practitioners discussing each other, turning their heads and turning to Zhong Ziyan from time to time.

The monthly tasks of "monster hunting" and "ghost catching" are all arranged within the Monster Hunting League according to the amount of remuneration paid by the employer. In recent years, the first task on the list of catching ghosts has always been to find the immeasurable imperial edict tablet. If someone finds this object, they can get ten Foundation Establishment Pills, one hundred third-order spirit stones, and dozens of elixir.

Most of the monks firmly believe that this task was issued by Zhao Liangcai himself, but only a small number of people know that this task was not actually issued by Zhao Liangcai, but the demand of Situ Ye, a Jindan monk from the Situ family.

Among this small group of people, Zhong Ziyan happened to be among them because of the close relationship between Chilongmen and Situ's family.

Zhong Ziyan carefully read the tasks on the ghost list issued this month to the end, and after a little calculation in his heart, he turned and walked away slowly.

When I came to Huaiyang City this time, checking the list of ghost-hunting tasks was only the second priority. The first task was to buy foundation building pills. Now Senior Brother Jiang and Senior Brother Jian in the door sensed the opportunity for foundation building. Zhong Ziyan worried a lot about this matter.

Jianbao District is located in the east part of Huaiyang City. It was rebuilt from the original Changsumen Maple Leaf Forest. There are many sundry shops here, such as panacea, spirit tools, formation plates, and seals. , In addition, there are rare items in most shops, which are specially prepared for monks who want to buy treasures, which can be regarded as a continuation of a small part of the ghost market atmosphere.

Walking in the noisy street, Zhong Ziyan remembered that many years ago, he spent a lot of spirit stones to buy tokens to enter the ghost market. Each ghost market token can be entered and exited three times. He did not expect that he was unlucky, and the ghost market collapsed after only one visit. , It was a waste of money.

There are seven streets in the Jianbao District, and Zhong Ziyan kept walking until he came to the easternmost street. This is a place that specializes in all kinds of goods above the second level, and there are three shops selling Zhujidan alone.

Zhong Ziyan approached the first shop at the street entrance. This shop is a small two-story building with three very common ancient characters 'Danqi Pavilion' written on the outer door plaque.

"Hey, why did Master Zhong come here in person?"

When Zhong Ziyan stepped into the threshold, the owner of Danqi Pavilion, who was planning something on the stage, saw him, and greeted him enthusiastically and quickly. A kind and rich face was posted up, his eyes were smiling from ear to ear, this person was called 'Shang Fuhai', In the early stage of foundation establishment, the monks must be hundreds of years old, but they are only 50 to [-] years old. They have black hair and short beard, and are slightly fat. They are naturally good-looking and have a lot of friends.

In the early years when Chilongmen opened a post station at Xiling Road Crossing, it cooperated with two shop owners in Shanghe City for a period of time, and this 'Shang Fuhai' was one of them.

In the past few years, Zhong Ziyan has been to Huaiyang City several times, and he has a little friendship with this business owner. If there is a need for a job in the door, he will take care of his shop most of the time.

"The seniors in the sect had something important to go out, and the juniors just came here to buy some things, so they came in person." After Zhong Ziyan responded with a smile, he followed Shang Fuhai to the front of the stage.

At this time, there was no customer in the store, only a close relative of Shang Fuhai took care of the cabinets. Shang Fuhai first put four black jade square boxes on the stage, and then pretended to frown: "This is a treasure that I built a lot. Spiritual material, I got it from Master Ji Gu with great effort, top-grade foundation building pill can increase the success rate of foundation building by [-]%, Master Zhong, this time you have taken advantage of the sky!"

Zhong Ziyan opened one of the boxes, and saw that the foundation building dan was innocence, exuding full aura, and the refreshing and fragrant breath implied a trace of Dao Yun, bursting with five-color streamers from time to time, it was really top-grade.

Zhong Ziyan suppressed his joy slowly, cupped his fists and saluted: "Thank you, Boss Shang~"

Shang Fuhai proudly stroked his short beard, blinked the corners of his eyes twice, and suddenly lowered his voice, "I don't know what happened in Mingyue City to the south...?"

Five years ago, the Situ family built Bright Moon City in the Moonless Swamp area in the south. In just two years, the reputation of "providing shelter for low-level monks" spread far and wide, attracting many low-level casual cultivators from east, west, north, south, and north. Check in, until now, there is already a city with more monks than Huaiyang City.

Shang Fuhai learned that Chilongmen and Situ's family had a good relationship, so he went to Duanshuiya last year and asked Zhong Ziyan to help him set up a business route.

For a business selling spiritual materials, which boss doesn't want to open a shop in a place with many monks? Shang Fuhai's business in Huaishan is not bad, but it is much better than him. High-level spiritual materials have become more and more difficult in recent years. Acquired, he didn't have a strong helper under his command, and seeing the business continue to lose money, he had to think of a way.

The area of ​​the Moonless Swamp is not small, and there are more low-level casual cultivators further south. In the past, there were no big figures in command and management. Now that Situ Ye and Wu Jindan are working together to build Mingyue City, it is obvious that life will be much easier. Life is easier , business is easy to do.

Zhong Ziyan smiled briefly, and said:

"This junior talked with senior Situ Da for a long time. The shop has been taken down, but the location is a little bit out of the way. In Mingyue City West District Resident Street, the owner of the business moved in late. The business we do is different, and the customers have needs, so we will naturally recommend your shop~”

Situ Da was in charge of external business affairs at Situ's house. Shang Fuhai was overjoyed when he heard that Zhong Ziyan and that person had obtained a shop.

"This is a ten-year contract, you accept it~" Zhong Ziyan handed a red leather letter to Shang Fuhai.

Shang Fuhai opened it on the spot, turned his eyes carefully, nodded and said:

"Good! Good! In recent years, the number of Huaishan cultivators has decreased, and casual cultivators have suffered unspeakably from the invasion of ghosts and evil spirits. In the past, the spirit weapon formations that I sold against monsters were all greatly discounted, and the business became more and more difficult. , this contract can be regarded as a life-saving straw!"

Zhu Jidan checked and received it correctly, and the Lingshi had already been paid in advance, Zhong Ziyan didn't plan to stay longer, and continued to say a few polite words, saying goodbye and leaving.

Shang Fuhai stopped quickly and lightly, and asked a question in a low voice, "Master Zhong, recently I heard that there are Jindan ghosts haunting the middle reaches of the Huaiyin River, often manipulating a large number of evil spirits to attack both sides of the bank. Some people suspect that they have been dead for many years. Su Zheng, the head of the Changsu Sect, turned into a ghost cultivator, and Huaiyang City was his family's mountain gate back then, shouldn't he come to retaliate and attack?"

Zhong Ziyan frowned in confusion. He had never heard of the news. After thinking about it, he shook his head and smiled:

"The younger generation is a small person in the Qi training period. How can I know what's going on? Back then, the Chilongmen didn't participate in the battle between King Su. Who knows if the last two golden cores really died?"

There are idlers who explained in detail the fight between the two families back then. There are many versions that have been circulated, but few of them are really reliable. Zhong Ziyan will not worry about such meaningless things.

Shang Fuhai is different. This matter is related to whether he can earn Lingshi safely in Huaiyang City. Hearing Zhong Ziyan's reply, he quickly added embarrassingly:

"Ancestor Tao of the noble family was not considered the helper of the Changsu family. I heard that he helped the Changsu family two or three times. I thought... Hehe, I don’t know, anyway, I should make more preparations so as not to be caught off guard. "

"Actually, even if it's what you said, Boss Shang, according to my humble opinion, there won't be any major turmoil in Huaiyang City. Senior Zhao Liangcai is not an easy person." Zhong Ziyan stepped out of the shop with a calm expression.

Shang Fuhai followed him to the door, and seeing Zhong Ziyan turn around to say goodbye, he finally said: "Please trouble Master Zhong, on my behalf, to wish the noble family Jiang Daoyou and Jian Daoyou a smooth foundation building in advance!"

Zhong Ziyan nodded and left.

Shang Fuhai, who stayed where he was, was quite moved, and cast sincere admiration on Zhong Ziyan's back. In the past few years, he has dealt with this master Zhong many times, and each time the feeling is different. His cultivation base has improved year by year, and his conversation The words become more stable and appropriate, the bones of the world stand everywhere, and there is an attitude of its own, as if the weather has come.On the other hand, if one of his own apprentices has one-tenth of his abilities, it would not be in vain for him to cultivate them for more than 30 years.

******

Zhong Ziyan, who left Shangfuhai's shop, walked through many streets and checked the list of "monster hunting" missions. Although there were not as many onlookers as the ones next to the ghost hunting list, they were not too few, staring at the list After looking at it for a long time, I didn't find any amazing tasks. Others paid more for what I wanted, so Zhong Ziyan turned around and was about to leave the Jianbao area.

Suddenly, a short and thin monk in the late stage of Qi training came towards him. This man was dressed in gray linen clothes. Uncle Sanjiu is very similar.

In a moment of stupefaction, the man plucked up the courage to salute Zhong Ziyan and said, "I see fellow Taoists staring at the fifth-ranked Storm Eye Stone mission and the No. 11 Lieyang Bamboo mission for a long time, do you want to buy these two treasures? "

It turned out that they were selling things, Zhong Ziyan didn't answer for a while, he knew that this kind of people were good at buying and selling at high prices to make a living, and they only picked those monks who were in urgent need of something to chat with and inquire, and the things they sold were basically better than those on the list of monster hunters. The rewards given on tasks are more expensive.

Seeing that Zhong Ziyan didn't answer, the man tried his best to put on a friendly attitude and smiled, "I'm a retail investor in the demon hunting team in the south of the city. My name is Yao Gang. I happen to have the two things that fellow Taoists want! Why don't you find a quiet spot nearby?" to talk about?"

The people coming and going are messy. If you want to talk about things, you must find a quiet place. Zhong Ziyan has basically finished what he wants to do in Huaiyang City this time, and he has plenty of time. "Okay~"

I found a teahouse nearby and quickly chatted about the situation. This Yao Gang is not the same kind of person as Zhong Ziyan thinks. This person is in his early thirties and has seven levels of qi training. He was adopted by Jianji Laoxiu since he was a child. , his name had long been attached to the recruitment team of the Monster Hunting League.

Three months ago, a group of nine people died because they went to the depths of Huaishan Mountain to do missions. Seven of them died. The soul is seriously ill, so he needs a lot of spiritual stones to buy medicine to treat it.

He didn't know the truth of what he said, so Zhong Ziyan asked him the price of the Fengyan Stone and Lieyang Bamboo after hearing it, and the price he said was indeed much more expensive than the one on the monster hunting list.

Zhong Ziyan shook his head helplessly, not to mention whether the story told by this person is true or not, even if it is true, the eye stone is a spiritual object of earth, it is extremely precious, and has never been sold before. It only appeared in Huaishan in recent years, and it is of great value. One needs two third-order spirit stones, and if they want to use them for cultivation, the family has limited financial resources, Zhong Ziyan would not be willing to spend so many spirit stones to buy them.

Lieyang Bamboo is cheap, a section only needs forty first-order low-grade spirit stones, but it is used to arrange formations for Chen Shengnian, the required quantity is large, and it takes a lot of spirit stones, the price Yao Gang sells It is [-]% more expensive than the list, and Zhong Ziyan is not a fool, how could he buy it from him.

Seeing that Zhong Ziyan clearly refused, Yao Gang said anxiously:

"Fellow Daoist thinks it's expensive, so you can also exchange it with other spiritual herbs, such as Purple Thunder Bamboo, Qingyan Purple Soul Flower, Demon Suppressing Pill...these can all be exchanged!"

Zhong Ziyan was startled when he heard what he needed, and then fixed his eyes on Yao Gang.

Yao Gang's scalp was numb from being stared at, and his heart felt guilty. He only felt that the monk in black and white Taoist clothes with jade hairpins and star-black eyebrows in front of him suddenly saw through his thoughts.

Zhong Ziyan looked left and right, and asked in a low voice: "I'm afraid your elder was not bitten by some poison? It was..."

"You, don't talk nonsense, if you don't buy it, I'll find another one by myself~" Yao Gang looked at Zhong Ziyan for a while, his eyes dodged, and he almost wanted to leave.

Zhong Ziyan raised his hand to stop Yao Gang from leaving, and said in a deep voice, "I have the same thing you want!"

"Don't you lie?" Yao Gang turned around and sat down. Just now Zhong Ziyan said a few words of probing, which made him emotionally ups and downs and sweated a lot.

Zhong Ziyan said in a low voice, "Speak bluntly, what you need is to suppress and eliminate monsters. Huaishan is so rare, and it is said that the Qingyan Purple Soul Flower is the main spirit for refining the Eviscerate Pill." Needless to say, the Suppressing Demon Pill is specially used to trap and kill monsters in the body, so it can be inferred that your elder is possessed by monsters at all!"

Yao Gang's eyes were fixed, his divine light flickered and gathered, and finally he lowered his head and lamented in pain, "That's right, if he can't be cured within three months, then there's nothing he can do, and then things won't be hidden, how can he end well~ "

"Take me to see him. If it's true, I'll exchange Qingyan Purple Soul Flower with you. There are alchemists in the door who can help!" Zhong Ziyan stood up suddenly.

Whenever it involves monsters, it is not a trivial matter, and a little carelessness will cause endless harm. The first thing that is opposed and hostile to all the cultivation forces in this world is monsters.

Yao Gang hesitated, the worry in his eyes was obvious, and after a long time, he said sincerely: "I still don't know the origin of your name and name, if I lure you there recklessly, then you will publicize it, won't it harm my master? I am restless!"

Zhong Ziyan laughed from the bottom of his heart, he had already guessed what he should know, he did nothing to hurt him, if it wasn't for Lieyangzhu and Fengyanshi, he wouldn't bother to talk to him.

After a moment of silence, Zhong Ziyan nodded and saluted, and reported his family with the Chilongmen etiquette:

"Pindao Zhong Ziyan is a disciple of Chilongmen of the orthodox Fengzhao sect of Taoism. The mountain gate is located at the Duanshui Cliff in the southwest of Huaishan Mountain. If you don't believe me, you can go and have a look with Pindao~"

After the report was over, he sneered and added, "If I wanted to harm you, how could I make it clear? Besides, what good will it do me to harm you?"

There are names, surnames and heels, and it is just on the Duanshui Cliff in the southwest of Huaishan Mountain. Seeing Zhong Ziyan's magnanimity, Yao Gang felt that his eyesight was clumsy and his heart was narrow, so he led Zhong Ziyan to the south of the city.

******

Two days later, in the early morning, Zhong Ziyan returned to Duanshui Cliff from Huaiyang City by driving the first-grade high-grade flying artifact [Yufeng Wooden Kite]. This time, he bought all the things that should be bought, especially Chen Shengnian's needs for arranging the formation. In addition to buying all the things that I expected to buy earlier, I also got Yao Gang's promise to exchange the Eye Stone and Lieyang Bamboo by accident, so I am naturally in a good mood.

Right now it is the season of autumn and winter, the strong wind is blowing, and the thin aura barrier on both sides of [Yufeng Wooden Kite] is being worn out, and it is whistling. Looking up at the sky above Huaishan Mountain, the clouds are calm and the wind is light, and then turned to look at the Huaiyin River The direction is another scene.

The dark river is fast-moving in some places, and dead in some places. From a long distance in the sky, you can see the black air floating on both sides of the river, and the red mist is thick. of.

Zhong Ziyan sighed with worry: "Now that I think about it, the Wang family indeed benefited tens of thousands or even more casual cultivators on both sides of the strait. Now that there is no Huang Tiandang Demon Suppressing Evil Formation, how many ghosts and evil spirits have been born in this vast cloudy water. At this speed, if not If you interfere, Mount Huai will become a place of ghosts sooner or later!"

It's useless to sigh anymore, Zhong Ziyan knew that even if Zhao Liangcai took the lead in interfering, it would be difficult to suppress the thousands of ghosts and evils in Huaiyin River for a while.

When he first came to Huaishan ten years ago, Su Zheng held a Chongyang hunting feast to indirectly murder thousands of elite monks from all over Huaishan for the benefit of his family. Later, the Changsu Clan and the Wang Clan continued to fight. At the time of the final decisive battle seven years ago, the two vassals and allies were basically dead.

Whenever Zhong Ziyan thinks of those bloody death deficits, he feels that the monks at the bottom are like ants, no different from ordinary people.

Bowing his head and taking out the black jade square box, Zhong Ziyan smiled lightly, not wanting those troubles, and said that Senior Brother Jiang and Senior Brother Jian are going to build a foundation, which is really a great thing. One of them is 30 years old and the other is 37 years old. They are both young and have a bright future. Unlimited.

The four Foundation Establishment Pills, in addition to the two of them, Zhong Ziyan prepared his share and Senior Sister Du Lan's share in advance, and now he and Du Lan have reached the ninth level of Qi training, just waiting for the guidance of the Dao of Qi training At that time, it will be the first threshold of cultivation, and the foundation of the road will be established.

The disciples of the second generation have all grown up, and the affairs of the sect are beginning to take over step by step, which is a scene of prosperity.

Thinking of this, Zhong Ziyan speeds up the speed of the flying spirit weapon, and it is always good to go back to the door quickly.Qin Feng's shadow suddenly flashed in his heart, and his face naturally showed shame during the driving process, "Senior Qin has to wait until after Senior Brother Jiang and Senior Brother Jian, so I am really ashamed of him. Hey, it's just that Old Ancestor Tao hasn't returned yet. When Senior Qin formed the alchemy, he probably went to ask the one from the Situ family..."
