Chapter 224 Jing Country Identity
After taking charge of the spirit ship, two teams of demon monks searched from bottom to top.
First, there were a few screams, coming from the cargo hold below.
"Liang Guozong sect lackey, kill!"
"Can't pay the ransom?"
"I signed a contract with the chamber of commerce, can I borrow some spirit stones from the master?"
Lu Changan secretly observed that, except for the monks suspected of being sect members, others paid ransom in exchange for their lives.
In general, the identity of casual cultivators is greater than that of family monks, and greater than that of sects.
The Liang Guo monks who signed the contract don't have enough spirit stones, so they can ask the chamber of commerce where they are for a loan.
The chamber of commerce adds debt, which can be further manipulated to increase the constraints of the contract of sale.
Because of the hope of survival and the strong deterrence of force, few monks resisted.
The monks of the Jingguo Business Alliance want to do business for a long time, and would rather spend money to avoid disaster.
Not to mention, Lu Changan suspected that the leading Jiuchen Chamber of Commerce had colluded with the Xuanyin Demon Sect.
The Demon Sect's interrogation is very detailed.
After waiting for half an hour, Lu Changan heard footsteps approaching his room.
Two demon cultivators stepped into the room.
At the same moment, Lu Changan sensed the fake alchemy-level consciousness staying on his body.
"Name, identity, origin?"
One of the demon cultivators in the late foundation establishment period held a special magic weapon and questioned him.
"My lord, Wu Fan, a casual cultivator from Liang State, is now a member of Jing State Wufu Chamber of Commerce."
Lu Changan took out the previously signed spiritual deed.
The demon cultivator took over the contract, and after checking it, he asked a few more questions to test the authenticity of Lu Changan's identity as a casual cultivator.
Lu Changan was originally a casual cultivator, so he answered perfectly.
If there is no problem with his identity, he is not the target of the Demon Cult, and his life is not in danger.
"The ransom for the monks who established the foundation is 6,000, and the monks of the Jingguo Business Alliance have to pay half of it."
"Here's the ransom."
Lu Changan was straightforward and took out three thousand spirit stones.
He has more than 100,000 spirit stones on his body, and his wealth is far more than that of the fake real person. This little spirit stone is not worth mentioning.
But I silently wrote down the things that should not be spent on the road.
The spirit stone used to buy the ticket was approved by Lu Changan.
Other exploitations, such as high room fees, spiritual stones for ransom, he recorded a small account.
Deep hatred is out of the question.
The rest of my life is long, the road is boring, the world is ups and downs, there is always a chance to find a place.
"Open your storage bag!"
The demon cultivator's eyes flashed brightly.
The Liang Guo monks they searched before, after being squeezed many times, there are almost no spirit stones on them. Either use utensils and materials to deduct at a low price, or ask the chamber of commerce to borrow them.
There are very few monks like Lu Changan who can still produce three thousand spirit stones.
Lu Changan's complexion changed, and he hesitated.
"Hurry up, why are you so dazed!"
Under the urging of the demon cultivator, he opened his storage bag.
After inspection, the two demon cultivators showed disappointed expressions.
There are not many spirit stones left in the storage bag, and the rest of the items are only at the level of the normal middle stage of foundation establishment.
The value of this item, they are too lazy to find fault and rip off.
Lu Changan remained expressionless as he watched the two demon cultivators leave.
He had prepared for this situation as early as after he moved into the guest room.
Lu Changan's valuables storage bag and spiritual pet bag are wrapped in insulating material made of shadow stone, and hidden in the corner of the room in conjunction with the concealment restriction.
Unless the monk Zhendan came to see the clues.
Lu Changan passed the test relatively easily.
Fang Zhong, a purple-faced strong man in the next room, experienced some thrills.
The cultivator of the Demon Cult judged that the exercises he practiced came from the sect of Liang Guozong through special instruments.
"Fang is a traitor to the sect! A deserter on the battlefield! He has a name and a surname on the most-wanted list... I hope the holy religion will find out!"
Fang Zhong was so frightened that his face turned pale, and he revealed his details.
"A traitor wanted by the sect? Let him go."
Not far away, Xiang Jinglong heard the words, took out a jade tube to check, and ordered.
Fang Zhong seemed to have received an amnesty, and with very few spirit stones left on his body, he used implements, elixir, and talismans as deductions, and reluctantly paid the ransom.
…
Two hours later, the guest rooms on the first and second floors of the Lingjian were searched.
The monks of the Jing Country Chamber of Commerce had almost no casualties.
Some Liang Guo monks were arrested and killed. Some of the monks were taken away as "suspicious targets".
Lu Chang'an discovered that most of the "suspicious targets" who were taken away were monks from the Kingdom of Liang with outstanding skills.
Several craftsmen among them had negotiated with Ms. Wei at the previous trade fair.
Because of Lu Changan's hiding his clumsiness, he didn't reveal his true skills, which saved him trouble.
Their group of Liang Guo monks who boarded the ship were essentially illegal smugglers and sent them under the fence.
It would be nice to be able to reach Jing Country safely.
It is impossible to enjoy the status treatment in normal times.
Whether it is the former foundation-building ancestor or a respected craftsman.
If you can reach Jing country and obtain legal status, you will be able to restore your former status.
"After checking the first and second floors, we went to the third floor."
Lu Changan found Xiang Jinglong and another demon cult fake pill, and led most of the monks to gather on the third floor.
On the third floor of the Lingjian, there are many first-class guest rooms.
No matter which country the monk lives in, he has a good background.
The Xuanyin Demon Sect should also be treated with caution.
When the monks of the Demon Cult searched, they were quite polite and followed the rules.
"take away!"
Living in the first-class guest room, the veiled girl Wei was taken away by the demon monks as a "suspicious target".
Lu Changan thought to himself: Miss Wei boarded the ship before, she was injured or encountered trouble, so she left Liang country with the help of the spirit ship of Jiuchen Chamber of Commerce and returned to the Demon Cult.
At the same time, she acted as an internal response on the ship, finding out the details of the monks from all walks of life and identifying valuable targets.
"Huh? Prince Wang's room, is this room to be left for the last search?"
Lu Changan observed the search route led by two fake Dan monks, and speculated.
It stands to reason that given the location of the prince's room, it wouldn't be the last one.
The monks of the Demon Cult seem to be doing this on purpose.
"Search in order from low to high."
"Although the monks who have been searched have been slaughtered and paid a ransom, after they are out of danger, they don't have to take the risk of resisting."
Lu Changan's eyes flashed, and he couldn't help guessing the plot of the Demon Cult.
boom!
On the third floor of Lingjian, the upper-class guest room of Prince Wang, the window was shattered by a palm.
"Bold!"
Xiang Jinglong and the middle-aged Fake Dan had already prepared themselves, punched and punched each other, and Dan Li, who was as violent as a torrent, blocked the window leading to the outside of the boat.
"Master, help me—"
The fair-skinned and beautiful foundation-building maid let out a horrified scream and was thrown out of the window.
With a bang, the woman was rolled into flesh by the powerful Dan force.
Boom!
The room where Prince Wang was located exploded.
The main frame of the spirit ship is made of second-grade high-grade materials, which is very strong.
The rest of the building materials, although inferior, are all reinforced by spells, and the ordinary foundation building stage is not so easy to damage.
But under the attack of fake real people, these buildings and houses are like thin sheets of paper.
"The remnants of the Demon Cult! How dare you challenge the authority of Lihuo Palace!"
With a loud shout, it sounded like spring thunder.
The hunchbacked old man accompanied by Prince Wang burst out a dazzling blue pill fire, like a blazing furnace, which burned and evaporated the pill power of Xiang Jinglong and his wife.
"Old man! Li Huo Palace is too busy to take care of himself, and dares to take a chicken feather as an arrow!"
"Tsk tsk, the war has not yet been concluded, but the elders of your palace sent their descendants to neighboring countries. Wouldn't it be chilling if the monks of the sect fighting on the front line knew?"
Xiang Jinglong and the two, calmly, wrapped around the hunchbacked old man on one side and the other on the right.
moo~
The black wind bull above the head let out a dull and startling roar, and opened its mouth to roll out a black wind, covering the old man with hunchback.
The hunchbacked patriarch picked up the prince who was wearing a golden robe, and cast a secret technique to activate the escape light. As a result, his figure was pulled by a terrifying force, as if he had fallen into a quagmire.
The hunchbacked patriarch pushed the prince far away.
His face turned red, his abdomen swelled for a while, and the red flames all over his body shrank suddenly, stained with a layer of red blood.
The spiritual pressure on his body suddenly rose, approaching the early stage of the real pill.
Well! call!
The hunchbacked old man opened his mouth again and spit out a magic weapon of the fire cover, which turned into a section of the city wall, burning with anger.
The black wind spit out by the black wind barbarian bull was barely blocked by it.
"Capture and kill the prince!"
Xiang Jinglong led several foundation-building monks to surround and intercept them.
The light beams of magic weapons, magic tools, and spells of various colors enveloped the "Prince Prince" who flew hundreds of meters away.
There is a sound of "Peng".
Wang Gongzi's body was shattered into thousands of pieces of wood.
"Fake double!"
Xiang Jinglong's complexion changed drastically, and his spiritual sense scanned every corner of the scene, looking for the real body of the prince.
"Prince Wang used a small diversion talisman."
Suddenly, Miss Wei's voice transmission sounded in his ear.
"Small diversion talisman? We are monitoring the whole process. When did he escape?"
Xiang Jinglong couldn't believe it.
"The moment your three fake pills collided, it overwhelmed its movement."
"Fortunately, this girl came into contact with Prince Wang before, and remembered his breath through the Kongming Lingzhu."
Miss Wei was captured on the surface, but was secretly coordinating and commanding.
"The old man will fight to the death and hand it over to the Black Wind Barbarian Bull."
"The two of you, together with this girl, captured the prince alive. If you succeed, the master will definitely reward you!"
…
Whoosh whoosh!
Two teams of monks from the Demon Cult, driving the magic weapon of the flying boat, chased towards the southwest.
Wow!
The hunchbacked old man had a few head-on encounters with the Black Wind Bull, the magic weapon broke and he vomited blood.
His complexion was pale, his breath dropped, and he sacrificed a third-order escape talisman, like a flaming shooting star, and fled in the direction of Liang Guo.
The Black Wind Buffalo rolled up the violent black wind, flying sand and rocks, and its speed was half a chip faster, locking it tightly.
"Even if you have a few third-order life-saving talismans, if you encounter a powerful and speedy real core monk or a big monster, you will not escape."
In the guest room on the first floor, Lu Changan saw this scene in his eyes and sounded the alarm in his heart.
His current strength is just that he is not afraid of fake real people.
If you are targeted by the monk Zhendan, the risk is not small.
At the alchemy stage, there is a huge gap in the strength and supernatural powers between the small realms.
In the middle stage of true pill, it is more than twice as strong as in the early stage of true pill.
The black wind bull is of the blood of the upper reaches of the earth, and its strength is almost comparable to that of the middle stage of the real pill.
This bull is not like a partial student like Xuanshuigui.
It can be called a real hexagonal warrior, with strength, spells, defense, speed, and almost no weaknesses.
Lu Changan's strongest treasure talisman is hard to cause serious injury to him.
Not to mention, the overhaul in the late stage of alchemy above this belongs to the top combat power of the sect.
The weakest sects in Liang and Jing have at least Daxiu in the late stage of alchemy.
"The hunchbacked old man is sure to die. I don't know if the prince can escape the devil's pursuit."
Lu Changan was thinking.
The spirit ship of the Jiuchen Chamber of Commerce has been restarted.
Under the guidance of the monks and bodyguards of the Merchant Alliance, the internal order of the spirit ship was restored, and the slender elders breathed a sigh of relief.
…
A few days later, the spirit ship entered a dangerous area full of ice and rain.
In the field of vision, there is an endless light gray ice rain, which has the power of coldness and corrosion.
Between the Liang Kingdoms, apart from the Land of Absolute Spirits, there are similar natural danger areas. This is not the first time that this has appeared.
Fortunately, although the speed of this carrier spirit ship is not outstanding, it has strong protection and can pass through it smoothly.
It is only the spirit stones needed for driving, which consumes a lot.
Flying speed is also greatly reduced.
Because of the long distance, there are places of unimaginable spirits and natural dangers, Jing, a small and medium-sized cultivating country, was not easily annexed by the surrounding cultivating countries.
Another half month passed.
The flight speed of the spirit ship has obviously accelerated a bit.
"It's almost time to arrive in Jingguo."
Lu Changan sensed that the aura in the surrounding world showed signs of recovery.
The land of the ultimate spirit will affect the power of spells, including the effects of monk flying and magic circle drive.
If it is within the normal territory of Xiuxian Country, although this journey is relatively long, it can actually be reached in half a month.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
On the way, I occasionally encountered monks from Jing Kingdom in the sky.
"Fellow Daoist Wu, I will arrive at the 'Lonely Sun Immortal City' later, and I will help you apply for an identity card certified by the business alliance."
Master Xia of the Wufu Chamber of Commerce came to Lu Changan's guest room on his own initiative, expressing some kindness in his words.
The dangers on the road have been passed.
As far as the chamber of commerce is concerned, the only means they can handle is the signed second-level spiritual contract.
Except for the distinguished guests in the first-class rooms, the Liang Guo monks who smuggled over basically all signed spiritual contracts with the chamber of commerce.
The contract signed by Lu Changan is relatively loose, close to a regular employment, and it is fundamentally different from the contract of prostitution of Fang Zhong and others.
"Then please trouble Mr. Xia."
Lu Changan clapped his hands.
During the subsequent conversation, Lu Changan learned about the situation of the Wufu Chamber of Commerce.
Wufu Chamber of Commerce was originally established jointly by five Foundation Establishment families.
At that time, the five Xiuxian families were relatively weak, and most of them only had one Jiji ancestor in charge.
By holding together for warmth and marrying each other, the Wufu Chamber of Commerce has gone through hundreds of years of ups and downs, and has occupied a place in the Jingguo Chamber of Commerce, and its strength cannot be underestimated.
Master Xia's name is Xia Mingqu, he is the contemporary young head of the Wufu Chamber of Commerce, and belongs to the most powerful Xia family among the Wufu families.
"Dare to ask Mr. Xia, does your Chamber of Commerce have a second-order high-grade spiritual vein?"
"My Xia Clan, as well as the head of the Chamber of Commerce, have second-order high-grade spiritual veins."
Xia Mingqu replied with a smile.
This Mr. Xia has red lips, white teeth, and a face like a crown of jade. Among the monks Lu Changan knew, his appearance and conversation were extremely outstanding.
Half a day later.
The spirit ship of the Jiuchen Chamber of Commerce landed in a towering mountain city with hazy white light.
Guri Immortal City is an important border town in Jing Country's immortal cultivation world, with developed commerce and trade, its scale is even better than Huanglong Immortal City.
The Liang Guo monks who disembarked must accept the identity check of the business alliance.
With the help of Xia Mingqu, Lu Changan showed the second-level spirit deed and passed the inspection smoothly.
Lu Changan's feet landed on this neutral land of Immortal Cultivation Kingdom, giving him a long-lost sense of solidity.
"Fellow Daoist Wu! You and I part ways."
Fang Zhong's tone was flat, he said goodbye to Lu Changan, and returned to the queue of the New Moon Chamber of Commerce.
Lu Changan smiled lightly and waved his hands to bid farewell to this person.
…
Half an hour later.
Lu Changan walked out from the main hall of the business alliance in the center of Guri Xiancheng, and looked at a bronze waist badge in his hand.
"This is your identity certificate in the business alliance. With this card on your body, you can conduct business legally in the major fairy cities and cities of Jing Kingdom."
Xia Mingqu introduced.
Lu Changan showed a clear look, thank you again.
Without the contract and assistance of the Wufu Chamber of Commerce, he could not have landed so smoothly and obtained the status of a monk of the Jingguo Chamber of Commerce.
Glanced at the monks of Jing Kingdom who were shuttling back and forth in the fairy city, many of them were dressed as traveling merchants.
He smiled and said, "Young Master Xia, how do you plan to arrange it? Is it going to the Xia Clan or the Wufu Chamber of Commerce?"
Successfully landed in Jing Country.
The aura of other people's identities disguised by the Imaginary Mask deceived the second-order spiritual deed.
Lu Chang'an can actually find an opportunity to run away, but the Wufu Chamber of Commerce can't do anything about it.
However, he came to Jing country for the first time, and he was not familiar with the place of life, so he needed a stable second-level middle-high-grade spiritual vein cultivation.
Wufu Chamber of Commerce helped him solve his troubles, and contributed money and effort.
Besides the constraints of the spirit deed, Xia Mingqu, the young master, is considered polite to him.
Lu Changan decided to follow the trend.
Temporarily abide by the contract, and join the Wufu Chamber of Commerce as a second-rank alchemist of parallel imports, and practice for a period of time.
Update resumed on the 1st. .
