Chapter 214 Arriving in Zheng State and Communicating with People From the Sea
And there was still a word Liu Linglong didn't say.
That is, with their current strength, even if they are lucky enough to compete for the Earth Mother Crystal, they may not be able to bring it back.
Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan had obviously considered this situation.
Therefore, when they confirmed the information with Liu Linglong again, the couple immediately decided to go to Baibaofang City in Zheng State together.
Going from Liang to Zheng is no different than going to Yun or Yan.
The distance between the two is already an astronomical figure.
If they plan to fly to Fangshi, then someone may have bought the Mother Earth Crystal before they reach their destination.
Fortunately, large teleportation arrays were set up between the Liang, Yun, and Yan countries, and the Shu and Zheng countries.
Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan planned to go to Zheng State through Fangshi riding the teleportation array.
After that, they will go to Baibaofang City together, thinking that there should be enough time.
At that moment, the couple sent a message to Jiang Rendao, telling him that they were going to Zheng Guo.
Then, they went to a teleportation array under the jurisdiction of Bishui Sword Pavilion.
However, when they came to this teleportation array, several Bishui Jiange monks who were responsible for hosting the teleportation array told them that the teleportation array to Zheng State would not be opened in about half a month.
This made both the couple frown.
If this time were delayed for another half month, the Mother Earth Crystal would probably no longer have their share.
Therefore, no matter what, they must arrive at Baibaofang City in Zheng State as soon as possible.
Thinking of this, Jiang Chengxuan immediately looked at the monks in charge of presiding over the teleportation array and said:
"My dear friends, can't we be accommodating in this matter?
How about we be willing to bear double the cost of opening the teleportation array this time? "
The people responsible for presiding over the teleportation array here are several foundation-building monks from the Bishui Sword Pavilion.
When they heard Jiang Chengxuan's words, a little embarrassment suddenly appeared on their faces.
In fact, this kind of thing cannot be decided by their small foundation building.
Even if Jiang Chengxuan and the others were willing to pay double the cost of teleporting the entire body, they would not dare to accept this easily.
Just when several Bishui Sword Pavilion foundation-building monks were about to reject Jiang Chengxuan and the others, a soft cry suddenly rang in each of their ears.
"Fellow Daoist Jiang, Fellow Daoist Shen, do you want to go to Zheng State?"
Turn around and look.
Then they saw Hua Menyou, wearing a lavender dress, suddenly appear in front of them.
The expressions of several foundation-building monks were suddenly shocked.
Without saying a word, he immediately bowed to Hua Mengyou and said:
"Disciple has met Uncle Hua!"
"Um."
Hua Mengyou nodded slightly towards them.
Then, he turned his attention to Jiang Chengxuan again.
Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan nodded immediately.
"Yes, we do want to take your sect's teleportation array to the Kingdom of Zheng.
Unfortunately, the timing is unlucky. I wonder if fellow Hua Daoist can help?
The teleportation array requires spiritual stones, and my wife and I are willing to pay double the spiritual stones.
how? "
"You two are serious."
Hua Mengyou smiled and shook her head.
"It's just a teleportation array, why are you so polite?
I will just ask them to directly activate the teleportation array for you.
As for the spiritual stone, you two don’t need to mention it again.
Including if similar things happen again in the future, you can still send me a message and I will help you solve it. "
After saying that, Hua Mengyou turned to look at one of the female cultivators in green skirt and said:
"Senior Nephew Sixuan, please join with the other nephews to help fellow Daoist Jiang and the others activate the teleportation array."
Upon hearing this, the nephew of Junior Sixuan, the female cultivator in green skirt, immediately bowed and said "Yes".
Soon, she and several other monks present activated the teleportation array.
Seeing this, Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan immediately clasped their fists and thanked Hua Mengyou.
"Fellow Daoist Hua, thank you very much for this.
If you are free in the future, please invite me to sit at Jiang's house so that we can show our friendship as landlords. "
"must."
Hua Mengyou also smiled and clasped her fists.
"In that case, let's take our leave now."
"Well, walk slowly."
At that moment, Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan did not stop and quickly set foot on the teleportation array here.
Buzz!
As soon as the two stepped onto the activated teleportation array, they felt a strong sense of weightlessness.
Immediately afterwards, a force enveloped them and they quickly disappeared from the spot.
When they appeared again, they had arrived at the exit of another teleportation array.
There are also several foundation-building monks here who are responsible for guarding here.
They saw a light light up at the other end of the teleportation array, and then two figures appeared quickly. Their faces were surprised at first, but then they quickly reacted, and they immediately clasped their fists and saluted politely:
"We have met the two seniors.
Seniors, I wonder if there is anything you need our help with? "
"Um?"
He glanced up.
Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan quickly recognized that the clothes worn by the people in front of them were the clothes of a Jindan sect named Guanglin Sect in Zheng State.
This sect is said to be quite powerful.
Even compared to their Liang Kingdom's Bishui Sword Pavilion, it was still comparable.
The most important thing is that there are not just one or two Jindan sects like Guanglin Sect in Zheng and Shu, but four or five.
This is why among the Five Cangnan Kingdoms, Liang, Yun, and Yan are regarded as a whole.
The two countries of Shu and Zheng are another main reason for being a whole.
This is not only because of the long distance between them, but also because of the gap in strength between them, as well as the land area, resources, etc. owned by both parties, which are not at the same level.
As far as Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan knew, the Zheng State they were visiting now had an area that was almost the same as that of Liang and Yun countries combined.
Even more so.
It can also be inferred that Zheng and Shu are rich in cultivation resources, which must be several times that of Liang, Yun and Yan.
"No need."
At this time, Jiang Chengxuan waved his hands to the foundation-building monks in front of him.
Immediately, he and Shen Ruyan quickly left the place.
As the ancestors of the family, Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan naturally had a lot of information about Zheng Guo's immortal world before this.
It includes a route map on how to get to Baibaofang City.
From their current location to Baibaofang City, the distance is not too far.
With the couple's current strength, it would only take most of a day at most.
Therefore, at this time, almost half a day later, Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan had arrived at the destination of their trip, Baibaofang City.
As soon as they arrived at Baibaofang City, they saw Liu Linglong and several foundation-building monks from the Jiang family waiting for them at the entrance of Fang City.
Seeing the two people arriving, Liu Linglong and several monks from the Jiang family immediately stepped forward.
After the two parties greeted each other, Liu Linglong said:
"Brother Jiang and Sister Shen, we just received news that the monk with the Mother Earth Crystal in his hand is planning to hold a small trade fair in the Jade Restaurant he opened in three days.
That Mother Earth Crystal should be at the trade fair and let those who need it bid for it, and the one with the highest price will get it. "
Since more than ten years ago.
After Liu Linglong successfully broke through the Zifu realm, Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan asked her to change their names to each other to their current names.
At first, Liu Linglong felt something was wrong.
But after the couple reminded them many times, Liu Linglong stopped insisting.
At present, the relationship between the two parties is obviously much closer than in the past.
At this moment, Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan couldn't help but frown slightly when they heard Liu Linglong's words.
The other party plans to hold a small trade fair three days later, and plans to bring the mother earth crystal to the trade fair for those who need it to bid.
This behavior will undoubtedly make it more difficult for them to compete.
It even greatly exceeds the value of this treasure itself.
Moreover, in the process, intentionally or unintentionally, some people may be offended.
Many unnecessary twists and turns occurred.
"Is there any way to contact that fellow Taoist again? Let him sell the mother earth crystal to us privately, even if it really has to be a higher price."
After thinking carefully, Jiang Chengxuan finally raised this question to Liu Linglong.
In his opinion, the reason why the other party did that was just to sell the Mother Earth Crystal at a good price.
Since it is for this reason, there is naturally room for discussion on this matter.
Again.
As long as they can get the mother earth crystal, even if they have more, it will be acceptable.
However, Liu Linglong smiled bitterly and shook her head.
"Brother Jiang, I'm afraid this won't work."
"Um?"
Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan beside him couldn't help but be startled, with a trace of doubt on their faces.
Just listen to Liu Linglong continue: "As far as I know, the people who want the mother earth crystal in his hand now, besides you and me, there are also some monks from the Jindan Sect and family.
If he really sold the Mother Earth Crystal to us in private, he would undoubtedly offend those people.
This is obviously very uneconomical for him.
He certainly wouldn't do that either. "
"It seems that he not only wants to sell the Mother Earth Crystal at a good price, but also wants to pass on the possible conflicts to others."
Hearing Liu Linglong's words, Shen Ruyan on the side couldn't help but speak lightly.
"In this case, there is really nothing to say. It is basically impossible to get the Mother Earth Crystal in private.
Unless, you and I are willing to pay something far beyond the value of the mother earth crystal.
But in that case, who can guarantee that the other party will not have other thoughts after seeing what you and I took out?
For example, killing people and grabbing treasures..."
Shen Ruyan did not continue.
But whoever was present obviously understood the meaning.
At that moment, Jiang Chengxuan and his party did not stay where they were, and soon, led by Liu Linglong and others, they arrived at an inn that had been arranged in advance.
At this time, they had given up all plans to find that person to buy the Mother Earth Crystal in private.
Prepare to attend the small trade fair held by the other party in three days.
At the same time, more than ten or twenty invitations were suddenly sent out from the Jade Restaurant and went to many different places here.
Jiang Chengxuan and his party also received an invitation from the other party.
The content was the same as what Liu Linglong had said before, that is, a small trade fair would be held in the Jade Restaurant where they were three days later, and they hoped that they would be able to attend on time.
In this way, three days passed in a flash.
This day.
Jiang Chengxuan, Shen Ruyan, Liu Linglong, and several Jiang family foundation-building cultivators went to the top floor of the Jade Restaurant together.
This was where the other party held this small trade fair.
When Jiang Chengxuan and his party arrived here, they found that some people had already arrived here.
There were about ten people in total.
Most of them were Purple Mansion cultivators.
Even if they were not Purple Mansion cultivators, they were like them, the younger generations of the clan or the sect, and were brought here to increase their knowledge.
Jiang Chengxuan and his party sat and waited for a while.
During this period, some people came one after another, but not too many.
About two hours later.
No other cultivators came here.
Jiang Chengxuan and his companions looked around and found that the total number of people who were qualified to participate in the trade fair was no more than 30.
This scale could indeed be considered a small trade fair.
"Haha!"
At this moment, a rather hearty laugh suddenly came from the doorway where everyone was.
Everyone turned their heads to look.
Then they saw a middle-aged man in gorgeous clothes, about 40 years old, with a cultivation base firmly at the ninth level of the Purple Mansion, suddenly walked in from outside.
This man was the initiator of this small trade fair and the one who owned the Mother Earth Crystal.
His name was Master Tonghai, and he was from Yuanyang Valley, one of the four major golden elixir forces in Zheng State.
At this moment, he clasped his fists to the people present and said: "Thank you fellows for giving me this face and coming to participate in the small trade fair I held this time.
Let's get started without further ado."
Speaking of this, Master Tonghai couldn't help but look at a man in brocade robes present and said with a smile:
"Young Marquis, how about starting with you as the first person?"
As the words fell, everyone's eyes immediately fell on the man in brocade robes called the young marquis.
This man's name is Shangguan Sheng, and he is the legitimate son of Dingyuan Marquis of their Zheng State, and the son that Dingyuan Marquis values the most.
He is less than three hundred years old, and he has already reached the seventh level of the Purple Mansion. He is the most promising descendant of their Shangguan lineage to be promoted to the Golden Core in the future.
At this moment, he heard Master Tonghai's words and laughed.
Then, he saw him push out two women with graceful figures and beautiful features from behind him.
The most important thing is that the cultivation of these two women has reached the seventh level of foundation building.
Definitely late-stage foundation-building cultivators.
At this time, the young marquis Shangguan Sheng spoke:
"Since Brother Tonghai said so, I will give him face.
Here.
These two female cultivators in the late stage of foundation-building are not only virgins, but also proficient in various ways of pleasure. I specially selected them to exchange treasures with you fellow Taoists this time.
I wonder if you fellow Taoists are interested in this?
If so, you can make an offer.
If you can satisfy me, these two female cultivators in the late stage of foundation-building will be yours."
