Chapter 1153 Interception
Liang Yan felt moved when he heard what he said, and asked: "I heard Li Xiran mention this before, and Liang was also a little curious as to which chamber of commerce this bottle of mountain and river holy energy is in." In his hand?"
"Palace Master Liang, to be honest, I have never seen this bottle of Mountain and River Holy Qi with my own eyes."
"Oh?" Liang Yan frowned slightly. , asked: "What about Li Xiran? Why do you say that there may be mountains and rivers holy energy appearing in Guangling City? "
"Palace Master Liang doesn't know anything. The 'Wentai Treasure Fighting Conference' is coming, and all the major chambers of commerce are secretly sending more people to explore other competitions. The treasure brought by the opponent. Previously, spies reported that someone brought a bottle of mountain and river holy energy to participate in the treasure fight in Guangling City. However, I have not yet found out which chamber of commerce this person is from. "Qianlong explained slowly.
"What about this person?" Liang Yan heard the key to the problem and asked hurriedly: "Where is this person who may have carried the holy energy of mountains and rivers?"
"This is the strangeness of the matter. Place! ”
Gan Long replied: "This man only released the news when he was approaching Guangling City, saying that he had the holy energy of mountains and rivers in his body. However, after he entered Guangling City, he disappeared out of thin air. Even if we sent many people, he could not I don’t know where this person is going Where did he go?”
“This is happening!” Liang Yan said in surprise: “Even your Wenxiang Chamber of Commerce couldn’t find out. Could it be that this person really disappeared out of thin air? What is it for?”
“This matter is indeed a bit suspicious. This person can escape our tracking either because he has hidden his cultivation or because he is carrying an extremely powerful magic weapon. In any case, it is not the case. A simple man.”
When Qianlong said this, he paused for a moment and then continued: "But don't worry, Palace Master Liang, we will continue to investigate this matter. Once we get the exact news about the holy energy of mountains and rivers, we will definitely notify you as soon as possible."
Listen After hearing Qian Long's words, Liang Yan smiled slightly, cupped his hands and said, "Thank you so much, Elder Gan! By the way, there are so many monks in Guangling City now. Is there any place where we can exchange information?"
"Yes, there is. ”
Qianlong thought for a while and replied: "In the Juxian Tower in the north of the city, dragons and snakes are mixed together. Most of the monks who go there are not members of the Chamber of Commerce, but some unknown casual cultivators in Xuanyuan Territory. They come to Guangling City to take advantage of the opportunity. During the Treasure Fighting Conference, watch Let’s see if there are any missed trade fairs.”
Liang Yan is not a confused person. He understands when he hears this. Although the magical powers of the casual cultivators in various regions may not be as strong as those of the sect monks, most of them have a wide range of friends. , well informed.
After all, they are alone. If they don't have a few friends, they will be really blind and deaf. I'm afraid they won't even know that a disaster is coming.
So places like Juxian Tower are generally places where casual cultivators exchange experiences and exchange information.
Wenxiang Chamber of Commerce, as a veteran chamber of commerce participating in the treasure fight this time, would not be embarrassed to go to a place like this to find out information about its opponents. However, Liang Yan was a stranger, so he had to go to Juxian Tower to find out the information. is the most appropriate.
"In that case, Liang will go to Juxian Tower tomorrow to see if he can find any clues to the holy energy of mountains and rivers." Liang Yan said with a slight smile.
Qianlong also smiled and said: "Palace Master Liang has come a long way and will rest here for a day. Gan will prepare some wine to catch the wind and wash away the dust for Palace Master Liang."
Having said this, he took out another token from the storage ring and handed it to Liang Yan.
"Palace Master Liang, this is the guest token of our Wenxiang Chamber of Commerce. From now on, with this token, you can enter and leave this house at will, and you can also enter some chambers of commerce venues in Guangling City."
"Thank you, Elder Gan."
Liang Yan played with the token and put it in his sleeve.
Immediately afterwards, Qianlong summoned several ministers and guests from the chamber of commerce, and held a banquet in the courtyard to wash away the dust for him. He entertained him well until night fell and the guests and hosts were enjoying themselves. Dispersed.
Liang Yan returned to his guest room, closed his eyes and meditated on the bed, and waited until noon the next day before slowly opening his eyes.
"The name of Juxian Tower is quite loud, but I don't know if it is really well-informed and can find out what I want." Liang Yan said with a smile to himself.
"It's not that simple. I'll beat anyone who doesn't tell me anything. As long as they are subdued, any secret will be revealed!" Li Xiaosong sat on his shoulder and waved his fist.
"I'll be thankful if you don't cause trouble! There are so many masters in Guangling City now, and you are only in the middle stage of Golden Core. Can you please calm down a little bit for me?" Liang Yan stretched out his hand on Li Xiaosong's head. A blast.
Li Xiaosong was in pain, held his head with both hands, and said aggrievedly: "I'm not helping you. Even though I'm only in the middle stage of Jindan, as long as my opponent doesn't have Tongxuan, I, Xiaosong, are not afraid of him!"
"Then what if he transforms into a calamity?" Liang Yan glared.
"Then" Li Xiaosong's eyes wandered, and he looked at Liang Yan and said, "Then there is still you!"
Bang!
Another burst of pain, so painful that Li Xiaosong almost screamed.
“No more trouble is allowed this time without my permission!”
Liang Yan's face was solemn, and he felt a little helpless.
Since Li Xiaosong advanced to Jindan, his personality has gradually changed. In the past, he just loved to join in the fun and show off, but now he is inexplicably aggressive.
Especially after practicing in Bihai Palace for fifty years and advancing to the middle stage of Jindan, her aggressive character became more obvious. If Liang Yan hadn't been restraining her, she would have caused trouble long ago. Coming.
Liang Yan gave Li Xiaosong a lesson, then stood up, opened the door, left the Wenxiang Chamber of Commerce's house, and came to the street.
This time he came out without Li Xiran.
This woman had left the Wenxiang Chamber of Commerce for many years, and she probably had many things to discuss with Qianlong. Liang Yan did not intend to let her follow him, but chose to go out alone.
Juxian Tower is not a remote place. Liang Yan made some inquiries on the streets of Guangling City and found this restaurant easily.
What I saw was an emerald jade building with gold rims on the roof and carved beams and painted pillars, which made people feel rich and noble.
Liang Yan walked into the restaurant and found that there were quite a few monks drinking here, either in twos or threes, or drinking by themselves. However, most of them were not high in cultivation. There were only seven monks in the golden elixir realm, and the rest were just gathering. Cultivation in the Yuan realm or foundation building stage.
At this moment, "Eight Divisions of Evolution" was running quietly. Liang Yan did not use his spiritual consciousness. He just moved the tips of his ears slightly. After a while, he had the direction and walked towards a corner of the restaurant.
There was a banquet table there, and there were three people sitting at the table, all of whom were in the middle stage of Jindan cultivation.
One of them was wearing linen clothes, with a square face, a broad nose, and a face as red as a date. He was drinking and talking at the same time:
"Two fellow Taoists, you have analyzed so much just now, In fact, in my opinion, the leader of this 'Wentai Treasure Fighting Conference' is none other than the Wenxiang Chamber of Commerce!"
"No, No!" Another old man in soap robe waved his hands and said: "Although Wenxiang Chamber of Commerce is an old chamber of commerce with a profound foundation, it is not the most powerful one. According to my opinion, the strength of Jialan Chamber of Commerce is even greater than that of Wenxiang Chamber of Commerce. The Xiang Chamber of Commerce, the leader of this treasure fighting conference must be the Jialan Chamber of Commerce.”
"Hmph, why is the Wenxiang Chamber of Commerce not as good as the Jialan Chamber of Commerce? I think you're just taking a peek and making random guesses!" The man from before seemed to be angry and said with some annoyance.
After hearing this, the old man in soap robe did not give him face, rolled his eyes, and said with a smile: "Am I making random guesses? Hehe, who doesn't know that when you condensed the golden elixir, you came from the Wenxiang Chamber of Commerce There are benefits there, but you don’t have to speak for them in everything, right?”
The two people were tit for tat, arguing, and after a while they both turned their attention to the third person at the table.
"Fellow Daoist Lu, let me judge. Is the leader this time the Wenxiang Chamber of Commerce or the Jialan Chamber of Commerce?"
The last person is a horse-faced man, who is leisurely tasting wine. , after listening to the other two people's questions, he immediately laughed and said: "The two Taoist friends are right. Wenxiang Chamber of Commerce and Jialan Chamber of Commerce are both first-class chambers of commerce, but there is one thing that you have forgotten?"
"What's going on?" The two of them asked at the same time.
"Hey, the 'Wentai Treasure Fighting Conference' is about treasures rather than people! Although the two major chambers of commerce have elites in large numbers, I heard that a dark horse has appeared in Guangling City, named Jiugong Chamber of Commerce. They have There are several important treasures on there, maybe they will stand out in this treasure fighting conference!”
“Nine Palaces Chamber of Commerce?”
The red-faced man and the old man in soap robe were both slightly startled, then shook their heads and said: "Where did this chamber of commerce come from? We have never heard of it. How can it possibly have the strength to compete with the established chamber of commerce?"
"Hey, just because you're not famous, doesn't mean you don't have strength. You two don't know something, but I've heard about it."
When the horse-faced man said this, his voice became smaller and smaller, attracting both of them to listen.
Liang Yan was sitting on a wooden table not far away at this time and ordered two side dishes and a bottle of wine. Although the three people did not talk about the holy energy of mountains and rivers, they talked about major chambers of commerce. The matter also made him think about it, so he used "Eight Parts of Yanyuan" to eavesdrop.
At this time, the horse-faced man lowered his voice and said: "I heard that the president of the Jiugong Chamber of Commerce has a very good personal relationship with Xuanyuan Potian. This time, Xuanyuan Domain will be the home venue of the 'Wentai Treasure Fighting Conference'. Maybe Xuanyuan Potian will help secretly!”
When the red-faced man and the old man in soap robe heard this, they were slightly startled, and after a moment they laughed at the same time! Standing up: "Lu Laosan, Lu Laosan, where did you hear all this from? How could a person like the Lord of Xuanyuan City have friendship with a little-known president of a small chamber of commerce?"
Lu Laosan Being laughed at by two people at the same time, his face looked a little ugly. Just when he was about to say something, he heard the sound of breaking through the air, as if something was flying towards him.
His heart moved, and he hurriedly turned around to look, only to see a flying knife with murderous intent, but it was not heading towards him, but towards a man in gray clothes at the table next to him.
The man in gray clothes was also calm. He still lowered his head and drank, without raising his eyelids. He only lightly tapped his right hand in the air, and a circle of ripples emerged, immediately trapping the flying knives.
"Hey, I can't tell, there are some tricks!"
Outside Juxian Tower, a woman's voice laughed.
After a while, two people walked in one after another. The first one was a beautiful young woman, wearing a pink dress and a gorgeous head, with willow eyebrows and a slender waist. She walked with a lot of charm, which attracted the attention of everyone in the restaurant.
Following her was a Taoist priest in black robes, with a yellow face, a sharp mouth, and a vulgar appearance, which was incompatible with the temperament of the beautiful young woman.
"Elder Wen, this is the man!"
The black-robed Taoist priest pointed at Liang Yan and said angrily: "This junior met a talented man by chance and wanted to introduce him to his sect so that he can be trained in the future. , making him a pillar of the Chamber of Commerce. Unexpectedly, this person stepped in and snatched away the apprentice he had obtained. !"
"Okay, you don't have to tell me so much!" The beautiful young woman waved her hand and said, "I just want to ask, can you see clearly, that boy is really 'Wulei'? "Extreme Devouring Body'?"
"It's absolutely true, absolutely impossible!" The black-robed Taoist nodded hurriedly.
"Okay, as long as you say this!"
The beautiful young woman smiled slightly, looked at Liang Yan again, and slowly said: "I am Wen Chuchu, and I am the elder of the Luowang Chamber of Commerce. Don’t you know your friend’s surname?”
When she spoke, her eyes flickered slightly, as if she had used some secret technique. Her aura instantly increased, and she wanted to find out the origin of Liang Yan’s heels.
Unexpectedly, Liang Yan remained motionless and didn't even raise his eyelids. He poured himself a drink and then said calmly: "If you have anything to do, just tell me. As for my name, you don't need to know it. ”
After hearing this, Wen Chuchu’s eyes slightly He narrowed his eyes slightly, but the smile on his face did not change, and he still said in a friendly manner: "Since Taoist friend is unwilling to tell me his real name, Chu Chu will not ask more questions. It's just that you snatched him from my subordinates yesterday. Disciple, please return it today.”
"Apprentice?"
Liang Yan glanced at her, then looked at the black-robed Taoist priest, and sneered: "Do you know what the name of that child is? Just say she is your apprentice? I see you Taoist priests are so shameless. Could it be that their own skills are too poor to be found? Disciple, are you going to rob me on the street?”
“You!”
The black-robed Taoist shouted angrily, but the anger in his eyes only flashed away, thinking of Liang Yan’s methods yesterday. He couldn't help but shrink his neck and hide behind Wen Chuchu.
"Elder Wen, don't listen to this man's nonsense. It was obvious that I took a fancy to that child first and was about to accept him as my disciple, but he snatched him away!"
Wen Chuchu ignored him, just stared at Liang Yan, and said with a smile: "Fellow Taoist, can you give Luowang Chamber of Commerce a face and return the child to me? As long as you nod and agree, I can give you the VIP order of Luowang Chamber of Commerce." Brand, within the next hundred years, we will have priority in all major branches of our chamber of commerce. The right to auction."
After hearing this, Liang Yan still sat still and took a sip of the wine, saying lightly: "What if I don't agree?"
"No?"
Wen Chuchu's smile gradually disappeared, and his face gradually became colder.
"If fellow Taoist refuses to sell this face, Chu Chu can only use some 'special' means. This is Guangling City, and I don't want to make fellow Taoist look bad. I hope fellow Taoist can be more sensible and take the initiative. Hand over this child.”
"What a 'special' method, I want to see it before you!"
Liang Yan's expression seemed to be a smile but not a smile. He glanced at Wen Chuchu in the Immortal Juxing Tower, and a gleam flashed in his eyes.
