As Su Jie resolved the internal conflicts in Guiling Palace, Qingzhou's development was no longer hindered, and Su Jie's various capitalization measures were quickly implemented.
Three months later!
A sea of fireflies, before ferrying the estuary, several monks in costumes who were incompatible with the disciples of Guiling Palace came here.
They wore precious jade around their waists, had plain hair, long clothes, and had two crossed golden flying swords.
This is a monk from the Jinjian Sect in Qingzhou. They are also the first exchange students to enter the Guiling Palace in the Jinjian Sect.
There are a total of five disciples of the Golden Sword Sect. The one with the highest cultivation level is an inner disciple of the seventh level of the Soul Realm, named Xu Chang. He is 25 years old this year. He has a lot of potential to reach this level at this age.
The other four people, without exception, are all disciples below the fifth level of the Soul Realm.
Although Guiling Palace forced Qingzhou Zhengdao Sect to send disciples to exchange for learning, Jinjianmen naturally did not want to send their own genius disciples to come, and they didn't know how to torture and bully them by Guiling Palace.
So the Jinjian Sect specializes in drawing lots, drawing a few from the outer disciples and fooling them into Guiling Palace.
As for why Xu Chang, the inner disciple, was also drawn, it was because the Jinjian Sect was afraid that it would offend Guiling Palace too much, so at least it had to express its intention to send an inner disciple to come.
In this way, if Guiling Palace holds accountable, it will be possible to make some quibbling, and I will also send genius inner disciples to study and communicate.
Xu Chang is such a bad guy. He won the opportunity to come to exchange and learn from the lottery draw of his inner disciples.
Amid the ridicule of other senior brothers and sisters, they had to carry their bags with a frustrated look on their faces and traveled thousands of miles to Guiling Palace for further study.
Yes, in the eyes of Xu Chang and other disciples who came to exchange and study, it was a huge unlucky thing for them to come to Guiling Palace.
Who doesn't know that Guiling Palace is the largest demon cave in Qingzhou. It is cruel and bloodthirsty, cruel, and often kills people and feeds insects.
Here in Qingzhou, Guiling Palace has never had a good reputation.
They came here to live, and I wonder how they would be treated cruelly. "Senior Brother, there is the sea of fireflies ahead."
When we arrived at the base camp of the Guiling Palace of Fireflies, several disciples of the Golden Sword Sect were afraid. Looking at the monks of the Guiling Palace shuttled through the ferry, they were reluctant to step forward.
"Wait, I'll go and ask people."
Xu Chang took a deep breath. Although he was feeling distressed, he was out and as an inner disciple, he still had to support his junior brother and sister in the sect. He was not a devil and could not do anything to try the waters with his junior brother and sister.
"Senior Brother, be careful."
After the gaze of several young monks, Xu Chang walked to the ferry of the sea of fireflies.
The words "Flower Sea No. 2 Ferry" are written on the ferry. There are several such ferry crossings.
The Sea of Firefly is the largest lake in Qingzhou, and it can also rank among the top three in the Dali Dynasty. The lake has a length of 736 kilometers, an average width of 68 kilometers, and an average water depth of 430 meters, which is larger than Lake Baikal on Blue Star.
It is said to be a lake, but it can’t be seen at first sight. In the middle of the lake, is the island in the middle of the lake, the base camp of Guiling Palace.
If you want to go to the central lake island, you have to ferry and take a boat.
Xu Chang walked here and found that it was not ordinary lively. In addition to the disciples of Guiling Palace, there were also a large number of merchants, and even people carrying shoulder poles to sell fruits, vegetables and poultry.
The shops opened on both sides of the wharf are one after another, and it is impossible to see that there was a big battle here a few months ago. "Why are there so many people in this place? Are they not afraid of the monks of Guiling Palace who will catch them and feed them to insects?"
Xu Chang looked confused. He had come to Guanchao Pavilion before, but at that time he followed the elders of the sect to discuss and make friends with the younger generation of Guanchao Pavilion.
The ferry terminal at that time was not so lively.
The Guanchao Pavilion has implemented strict bans except for their own monks. Not to mention letting ordinary people come to do business and open shops, they will be driven away if they are not their own monks.
What Xu Chang couldn't understand was why these people were so bold and made their business at the doorstep of Guiling Palace.
I felt confused, but Xu Chang did not look at it carefully, but found a disciple who was standing guard and wearing a monk in the Guiling Palace.
"You"
Xu Changgang opened his mouth, and several monks from Guiling Palace opposite looked at each other, and the leading disciples stood up. "Looking at the clothing, are you a disciple of the Jinjian Sect who came to communicate and study?" "Uh, yes, yes." Xu Chang didn't expect that the other party directly revealed his origin and spared his explanation.
"Come with me, we are here to receive you people. My name is Zhang Xin. Haha, don't be too cramped. I don't eat people. These days, I have received several groups of disciples from the righteous sect like you." The disciples of Guiling Palace smiled, as if they saw Xu Chang's doubts, and directly explained.
He was about thirty years old and had a beard at a young age, making him look older and more mature.
Seeing a purple mantis insect lying on Zhang Xin's shoulder, Xu Chang nodded hesitantly: "It's so much trouble."
Then Xu Chang turned around and waved to his four junior brothers and sisters, asking them to come and meet up quickly.
After the group arrived, Zhang Xin led them through the bustling and lively dock shopping street and arrived at the ferry to take a boat.
Here, Xu Chang and others saw unexpected scenes again.
The pier is moored with more than a dozen large and small ships. In addition to the common wooden ships, there are also several giant steel ships shining with pure iron.
At the edge of the dock, there are also huge steel racks here, with racks of dozens of meters high. Iron boxes are being hoisted and loaded into those huge steel ships.
The cargo volume of these steel ships can carry far exceeds that of ordinary wooden ships.
Xu Chang's mouth widened. He had never seen such a huge ship. He had seen the Feitian Dharma Boat, but it was not pure iron, but a collection of various rare spiritual materials. The ship in front of him was completely cast by steel, and he couldn't understand how this thing floated on the sea.
The most new ⊥小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小� "What a big iron ship!" "Is there any such steel ship? Are there formations inside, otherwise how could it float on the water?" "Where was the Guiling Palace got it? In the past, there were no such large iron ships."
Several of the Jinjianmen disciples who followed Xu Chang also looked straight. It was difficult for them to understand where this thing was created by Guiling Palace. "Haha, this is the masterpiece of our sect's puppet hall. The puppet hall is the largest hall in our sect. They have created many magical puppet machinery. These steel ships are one of them. They are driven by brand new fuel, not driven by spirit stones and formations. You will understand after you live here for a long time." Zhang Xin grinned at the side, as if he had guessed the reaction of Xu Chang and others.
Because he has seen many similar reactions in the past few days.
Every group of righteous disciples who come to Guiling Palace to study will be shocked at this pier.
"It's nothing special, but it's bigger and more stuff. Without formation defense, it's just a big target, and it can be sunk with just a few flying swords around." Xu Chang saw Zhang Xin's smile and thought the other party was mocking his ignorance. He couldn't help but retort. At the same time, he pulled off the sleeves of several junior brothers and sisters to keep them reserved and not lose the demeanor of the Jinjian Sect's righteous sect and let the disciples of Guiling Palace laugh at it.
Zhang Xin did not argue with them, and shrugged, "Come with me on the ship. Now, you can go to the island in the middle of the lake before sunset."
The group of people walked on one of the giant steel ships, a ship that was loaded by cargo and passengers. In addition to carrying a large amount of cargo, there were also a large number of merchants on it.
Zhang Xin got on the boat. He seemed to be very famous here. Immediately, a group of merchants surrounded him, and Zhang Xin also greeted them.
"Shopkeeper Fu, this Chen Mansion has transported a lot of spiritual materials this time! It seems that it will make a lot of money again." "Where is it? Guiling Palace is in trouble after the war. As a member of Qingzhou, we must also help a little. To do our best, making money is only secondary." "Brother Zhang, my new restaurant has opened at the wharf, and two beautiful Western Regions girls have specially invited. When the business starts, Brother Zhang must be proud of his face. , I'll let them accompany Brother Zhang to relax."
"It's good to say, your Jinchansi Si wants to enter the procurement system. If you want to say that you are well-informed. The news that our sect is going to change into a new uniform has just been announced for two days, and you will come to the event. Forget it, I'll go to the master's place to mention it. I can't decide whether I can enter or not."
Zhang Xin is very good at everything and talks and laughs with these merchants.
Xu Chang looked at him secretly and found that in addition to ordinary businessmen, these merchants also had white glove caravans sent by wealthy families in various places in Qingzhou.
They wore badges representing their families, and the goods they transported were not limited to ordinary goods, but also various common spiritual materials, spiritual ores, spiritual plants and spiritual beasts.
The aristocratic families are different from sects. They can be regarded as small sects with blood ties as the bond. Most of the aristocratic families with long-standing inheritance will cultivate their own family children to practice. If they have less talent, they will be sent to the sect to learn from their masters.
These wealthy families of aristocratic families have been rooted in the local area for a long time and have a wide connection. They have mastered many common places for cultivation resources. They also actively opened caravans to trade and trade in various places to earn wealth.
In the past, the black market in Guiling Palace was basically the caravans of these aristocratic families, including human slaves, who were trading in these bold aristocratic families.
"It's too corrupt without any kindness, righteousness and morality." Xu Chang eavesdropped on a few words and couldn't help but complain.
These aristocratic families used to secretly engage in black market transactions. Now, as soon as Guiling Palace became the overlord of Qingzhou, all of these aristocratic families began to do business with Guiling Palace openly. They did not hide and squeeze as they did in the past, and they didn't care whether Guiling Palace was a demon sect.
But Xu Chang just thought about it in his heart, so naturally it was impossible for him to say it out.
Strictly speaking, their Golden Sword Sect is also one of the forces that defect to the Guiling Palace, and he has no shame to blame too much. (This chapter ends)
