Chapter 312 Acquaintance
Jiang Xingchi has always been a good person since he went north, and coming to Yubi Mountain is no exception.
After listening to Yuan Jie's advice, he really went to the trouble of going to Guyang Sect and Qingxin Xuanmen to persuade them to make peace.
Lin Bai and Cheng Yuanli accompanied him, and they felt that the further north they went, the less useful the name Qiaoshan would be.
When they were in Wuque Mountain, Tianhuo City and Hehuan Sect at least gave them face, but Guyang Sect and Qingxin Xuanmen were different.
When I first heard that the new Yuanying from Qiaoshan was visiting, they were polite. But when they talked about how to resolve the chaos, they also frankly said that they were the ones who suffered. Later, when Jiang Xingchi said that he wanted to open up the trade ban, Gu Yang Pai and Qingxin Xuanmen refused to give him any face, and directly accused Jiang Xingchi of being a lackey of Zhou Huishan's old man.
Jiang Xingchi was speechless and didn't care about this kind of thing at all.
Lin Bai was also a shameless person, so he drank and chatted with others and perfected his travels to the north.
Cheng Yuanli was the only one who was thin-skinned and remained silent.
When he returned to Yubishan Zhenyu Sect, Yuan Jie saw that although Jiang Xingchi did not do things well, he was indeed sincere, so he became more polite.
Lin Bai had nothing to do. He walked around Yubi Mountain with Yuan Qiye, getting to know the customs and geography, while also asking about miscellaneous matters.
"Bi Huanqiu is from Jiuzhe Mountain. He came here two years ago and was received by me. Then he went north again and said he was going to Shouting Pavilion." This was not a big deal, and Yuan Qiye didn't hide it. necessary.
After staying in Yubi Mountain for another half month, he was about to leave, but Yuan Jie stayed with Jiang Xingchi, saying that the Shoutian Pavilion merchant ship would arrive soon.
Lin Bai wandered around Yubi Mountain when he had nothing to do, and he knew a lot about merchant ships.
To the south, this place is separated from Wu Que Mountain by the Nascent Soul Sect, and the relationship is not very good.
The Guyang Sect and Qingxin Xuanmen guarded the northeast and northwest, and trade was cut off.
Although Yubi Mountain also has production, the place is still a bit small after all, with only a fifth-level spiritual land. There are also small markets in the surrounding area, but they are all small and small, just making small fuss.
There is no opportunity for expansion externally, and there is no new Yuanying internally. It is really difficult both internally and externally. If the new Nascent Soul hadn't taken over the situation before Yuan Jie died, then when Yuan Jie fell, the True Jade Sect of Yubi Mountain would be destroyed.
Yuan Jie of Yubi Mountain also went out to seek trade routes, but was ambushed by Guyang Sect and Qingxin Xuanmen for a while, and he never dared to go out alone again.
Of course, there are also foreign aids. Yubi Mountain was the second group to go south, and further north there were the first group of Zhou Huishan old people, but they were guarded by Guyang Sect and Qingxin Xuanmen, so it was difficult to move supplies.
On the other hand, Shoutian Pavilion was doing a lot of business, and their merchant captains drove down to sell all kinds of supplies.
The reputation of Zhou Huishan's people is not good, and the reputation of Shouting Pavilion, the initiator, is also bad. Various sects do not like to do business with Shouting Pavilion.
It's just that no one dares to go against others due to the pressure of the high cultivator of the Transformation God. Even though he was angry, he held his nose and admitted it.
Therefore, Shoutian Pavilion's merchant ships traveled to various places, but except for the Zhouhuishan old people who were short of people and supplies, they did not buy much.
Because of this, the price of Shouting Pavilion increased year by year. In order to defend the expansion, the old people of Zhou Huishan could only buy it hard. In the end, they could not make ends meet and owed Shouting Pavilion many spiritual stones.
After waiting for another half month, the Shouting Pavilion merchant ship arrived late.
There are a total of twelve bow flying boats, three large and nine small. Each flying boat has a flag with colorful clouds painted on it and the word "Shou Tian".
The merchant ships and airships are so vast, they don't look like they are doing business, but they look like they are showing off their power.
Yuan Qiye brought two golden elixirs to welcome him, and Lin Bai shamelessly attended the meeting.
The Shoutian Pavilion merchant ship makes a trip every year, and the leader changes from time to time. This time, the leader is a male cultivator with a full beard, wearing fur instead of ordinary Taoist robes. It is unknown what kind of spiritual animal he came from.
"Senior Brother Xia." Yuan Qiye saluted with a smile on his face.
Lin Bai had already received the news in advance. The leader was a descendant of the head of Shouting Pavilion, named Xia Fenyi, who was in the middle stage of Jindan.
It is said that there is hope for the Nascent Soul, but I heard that there are no new Nascent Souls in Shoutian Pavilion, but they are in the same boat as Zhou Huishan's old friends.
"It's Xiao Yuan." Xia Fenyi didn't look like a monk at all, nor did he look like a businessman. He was very careless and rude. He glanced into the distance and said with a heroic smile: "Xiao Yuan, you Yubi Mountain is getting better and better." I am prosperous, when will I pay back the spiritual stones I owe?”
As Xia Fenyi spoke, she stepped forward and stared at Yuan Qiye, "Tsk, tsk, tsk, it's getting better and better! Do you want to go back to Zhouhuishan?"
A Jindan cultivator is not considered inferior no matter where he is, but as someone of the same rank, Xia Fenyi of Shouting Pavilion teases the heirs of Yubishan arbitrarily. It is no wonder that all the old people of Zhouhuishan have moved out.
That's all. To mention Zhou Huishan's name alone is really to shit on someone else's head.
Yuan Qiye said nothing and only took two steps back.
The other two Yubishan monks dared not speak out in anger.
Lin Bai watched from the side and saw Yuan Qiye trembling slightly, obviously extremely angry.
I have always heard that people in Shoutian Pavilion are difficult to get along with, but this time it was an eye-opener.
Xia Fenyi laughed twice, while Yuan Qiye had no expression on his face.
The two people exchanged purchase orders and inspected the goods.
After the money and goods were cleared, Yuan Qiye invited Xia Fenyi to the Yubishan Hall, saying that Qiaoshan Nascent Soul was a guest here and wanted to meet him.
"Qiaoshan?" Xia Fenyi touched his chin with a bit of disdain on his face, "The new Nascent Soul in Qiaoshan? Is it Jiang Xingchi? What is he doing here?"
He actually knew Qiaoshan Jiang Xingchi's name, and he just called Yuanying by his name, which was really a big deal.
"Qiaoshan is determined to eliminate the chaos to the ancestors, and that's why Senior Jiang came here." Yuan Qiye looked at Lin Bai expressionlessly, and said: "This fellow Taoist Lin Zhuanlun followed Senior Jiang thousands of miles away. Come.”
"Senior Brother Xia." Lin Bai smiled and saluted.
"Just Qiaoshan, what qualifications do you have to interfere?" Xia Fenyi ignored Lin Bai, and then said: "But we should meet him!"
While talking, Yuan Qiye brought the three golden elixirs of Shoutian Pavilion to the Yubi Mountain Hall.
Yuan Jie did not show up, obviously not wanting to talk to Xia Fenyi.
Jiang Xingchi was actually very kind on his face.
After all, Xia Fenyi gave Yuanying face, saying that he had heard the name of Qiaoshan for a long time, but he was quite perfunctory, and did not bend down to salute, but only cupped his hands.
Jiang Xingchi was not angry either, and had a very warm face. He first asked how the ancestor of the God Transformation of Shouting Pavilion was doing, then asked how Mr. Xia was doing, and then asked if the merchant ship was going smoothly.
After talking nonsense for a long time, Xia Fenyi became impatient and asked: "Senior Jiang, I heard that you Qiaoshan want to be a peacemaker, is it true or false?"
"Of course it's true." Jiang Xing said with a smile.
"I wonder what Qiaoshan can do to make everyone put down their swords?" Xia Fenyi asked again.
"It all depends on human effort." Jiang Xingchi said.
"Senior, is it effective to go all the way north from Qiaoshan?" Xia Fenyi asked again.
Jiang Xingchi was silent.
Xia Fenyi sneered, said no more, turned around and left.
As expected, there is a high-level spiritual cultivator in the family, and even a mere golden elixir dares to shame the Yuanying cultivator.
Jiang Xingchi was not angry and asked Lin Bai to give it away. Lin Bai was also shameless and followed him out immediately.
"I heard that you, Qiaoshan Xiangwuhui, are just a hair away from becoming gods. Is it true or false?" Xia Fenyi asked casually when he saw Lin Bai following behind his hands.
"I have only advanced to the Golden Elixir a few days ago. I have never been taken seriously. I am not qualified to speak to Patriarch Xiang. How can I know these secrets?" Lin Bai said honestly.
"That's right." Xia Fenyi laughed, "It is extremely difficult to prove the Nascent Soul, and there is no seventh-level spiritual land in Qiaoshan. Why should Xiang Wuhui spy on the great road? If you worship under my ancestor and listen to his advice, It’s quite reasonable.”
In a daze, Lin Bai seemed to have returned to the time when he first entered Xinyi Fang. At that time, he was at the bottom and the classes were divided. The Golden Elixir family looked down on those without Golden Elixir, and those with more Golden Elixir looked down on those with less.
Therefore, Lin Bai only smiled and did not speak.
"You guys want to continue going north?" Xia Fenyi asked again.
"This is natural." Lin Bai smiled and said: "Senior Jiang said that he wanted to go to Zhouhui Mountain to meet the ancestor of your sect's god transformation."
"How can the Patriarch of the Transformation God be able to meet him whenever he wants?" Xia Fenyi was very disdainful. "If Xiang Wuhui comes to see him personally, of course it is okay. This Jiang Xingchi is not qualified to be a new Nascent Soul."
Lin Bai smiled and said nothing, thinking that the fox with a bad mouth at least had a target, looking for someone's weakness, and this person just had a bad mouth.
He pinched his nose and chatted a few words with the other two golden elixirs from Shouting Pavilion, and found that the three of them had similar personalities.
Anyway, the old people in Zhou Huishan look down on other people, and the people in Shouting Pavilion look down on everyone, so they are right.
The Shoutian Pavilion merchant ship stayed for five days and bought some Yubishan specialties, and then continued south.
Lin Bai and Cheng Yuanli were sent by Jiang Xingchi to see each other off.
"I have always admired the name of Shoutian Pavilion, and I fell in love with the three senior brothers at first sight. Now that the three senior brothers are going south again, I have only bad wine to see them off." Lin Bai poured three glasses of wine seriously.
Cheng Yuanli shook his head helplessly and refused to look. Yuan Qiye looked on and said nothing.
Xia Fenyi waited for Sanjindan to take the wine glass, laughed loudly, and drank it all in one gulp.
"I have long thought that you are capable!" After Xia Fenyi drank, he threw the glass away, laughed, patted Lin Bai on the shoulder, and said, "The wines you make in Qiaoshan are just like people, they are not bad at all." , our wine shop in Shouting Pavilion! ”
"When will senior brother return? I'm looking forward to it!" Lin Bai asked with a smile.
"As short as three months, as long as half a year!" Xia Fenyi said.
After all these gossips, the merchant ships set off one after another.
"Let's go too." Jiang Xingchi didn't wait for a moment.
"..." Lin Bai originally thought he could stay a little longer, but he didn't expect Jiang Xingchi to be in such a hurry.
With no other choice, the three of them continued north.
Traveling more than 10,000 miles across the sky, he passed through several sects and finally arrived at Yinbi Mountain.
This place is where the first group of old people from Zhouhui Mountain went south. It is not far from Zhouhui Mountain, only more than 20,000 miles away.
There were three Yuanyings in the first group who went south. One old Yuanying died during the fight for territory. Now there are two left, and they are all very old.
Yinbi Mountain has been operating for a long time and is doing well, but its successors are weak. There are more than a dozen golden elixirs, but not a single Nascent Soul.
There are three other Nascent Soul sects nearby, and they are also enemies who have never had any contact with each other.
Yinbi Mountain is not far from Zhouhui Mountain, but Shoutian Pavilion never helps, only sells supplies, and drinks blood from the old people of Zhouhui Mountain.
Jiang Xingchi kept saying the same thing, and Lin Bai's ears were numb.
"Speaking of which, the three sects of Xuyun Sect used to be vassals of our Zhouhui Mountain. Now times have changed and evil servants have deceived the master." The name of the master of Yinfu Mountain is Meng Shanhe. He has a big beard and a thousand years of life. He is eight hundred years old, has been injured before, and does not know how long he can live.
After Jiang Xingchi accompanied him for a few words, Meng Shanhe did not talk about resolving the war. He only asked about the scenery of Qiaoshan, the geometry of Qiaoshan's spiritual land, and the temperament of the Nascent Soul.
After talking for a long time, not only Jiang Xingchi understood, but Lin Bai also heard what Meng Lao Yuanying meant: he did not intend to end the war, but wanted to seek refuge in Qiaoshan...
Of course Jiang Xingchi couldn't be the master, and he didn't say it clearly, so the discussion could continue.
"Brother, it's really hard for you to travel far away soon after you gave birth to a baby." Seeing that Jiang Xingchi was very talkative, the old Yuanying Meng Shanhe pulled Jiang Xingchi along when he was happy, "I'll show you a baby. If you like it, I'll give it to you." Take it, it will be beneficial to your practice. Hey, after my family becomes a god, it cannot be compared with other places!"
As the two Nascent Souls entered, a disciple came to greet Lin Bai and Cheng Yuanli.
Lin Bai was familiar with it, and after chatting for a few words, he asked about Bi Huanqiu's whereabouts.
"Are you looking for Junior Sister Bi from Jiuzhe Mountain? I'm Meng Yiwei." After asking, someone actually knew. A middle-aged female cultivator stepped forward and looked at Lin Bai, as if she was talking about your relationship.
Lin Bai bowed, addressed himself as senior sister, and then simply explained that he had been to Jiuzhe Mountain before.
The female cultivator Meng Yiwei did not hide anything and said bluntly: "Junior Sister Bi came here a year ago, and then went north again, saying she wanted to pay a visit to Shouting Pavilion. More than a month ago, Junior Sister Bi returned with the merchant ship of Shouting Pavilion, Then I went to Changshengfang, the place I arranged.”
Lin Bai asked more carefully and learned that Changshengfang is located in a small city thousands of miles west of Yinbi Mountain. There are two Jindan Sects nearby, which are forces belonging to Yinbi Mountain.
After getting the confidence, Lin Bai planned to take a look.
After waiting for a day, Jiang Xingchi and Meng Shanhe finally finished talking, and Lin Bai went to see them.
After talking about looking for friends, Jiang Xingchi didn't stop him. He only said that he would be back within a month.
Lin Bai originally wanted to go alone, but Meng Yiwei insisted on going with him because of the landlord's friendship.
It's good to have someone to lead the way. Heading west, you encounter three foundation-building sects and a Jindan family, and then arrive at Changshengfang.
Fangshi is much smaller than Xinyi Fang. When the monk guarding the gate saw Meng Yiwei coming, he quickly saluted respectfully.
Meng Yiwei asked a few questions and then took Lin Bai into Changshengfang.
After finding an elixir shop, the two of them entered, chatted with the worshiper, and came to a room on the second floor.
After knocking on the door, it took a while for someone to open the door.
It's the end of autumn.
"Senior Sister Meng, you..." Bi Huanqiu's appearance remained the same as before, but it was a bit changed. When she saw Lin Bai, there was surprise on her face, which then turned into a smile.
"I've brought you here, let's just catch up on old times." Meng Yiwei was very considerate and left immediately.
Bi Huanqiu politely spared a few words and went out to see her off again. After finishing her pretense, she grabbed Lin Bai and said, "Stop talking and go to my cave!"
Lin Bai obeyed obediently, and the two of them came to the northwest of Fang City, where there was a cave rental and it was also the property of Yinbi Mountain.
After entering the cave, Bi Huanqiu closed the door and began to take off his clothes.
"..." Lin Bai was confused, wondering, are we already so familiar with each other?
