Cultivation Of Coders

Chapter 443 The steward of Tianji District?

Zhang Deming nodded and said: "Just sort out and send it to me! By the way, you just said that there is only one signee in this city, which means that Tong Hou is not here?"

"Yes, the mastermind. Three years and seven months ago, Tong Hou used the power of sacrifice in the Tianling Disaster incident, so that his body was destroyed. It is suspected that he used reincarnation.

He was reincarnated in the Sacred Land of Hongmeng, Yaozhou, which belongs to Shangqing Temple and is under the sect of Baiyun Temple. He is a member of the Tong family, a small aristocratic family practicing Liangyi, and becomes Tong Hou, the only son of the direct line of the Tong family.

Because he was reincarnated in the womb of a baby in May, he is now three years and two months old.

However, the other party has not started to practice yet, but whether it is because of the special reincarnation technique or the residual power from the sacrifice at that time, the target has returned to Tai Chi's lifelong practice.

In the past three years, perhaps due to the limited means of disguise, the target only came here once a month and never left the store. "

‘Huo, this guy is really good at causing trouble. He’s still causing trouble even after becoming a milk baby!

And it’s the Tong family, still called Tong Hou? Coincidence is absolutely impossible, so it’s reincarnation? Is the reincarnation technique he used related to the path of cause and effect?

Tsk tsk! This guy······'

"After sorting out the information, send it to me!"

In his thoughts, Zhang Deming took a step forward, left the spiritual cultivation space, and looked around: Qingyu Seventh Street. Looking at the street, Zhang Deming walked towards Qingyu Third Street.

······

Qingyu Street is not a street, but a city district. It now has nineteen blocks, occupying 30% of the inner ring.

Qingyu Third Street is an early neighborhood and is extremely prosperous.

The main items sold are items related to Momochi. Of course, most of them are high-end items. Items below two stars are difficult to see here because there is no profit in selling such items.

Of course, there are very few but not none. Any items sold here that are lower than two stars are definitely very unique and even more attractive than two-star items.

Zhang Deming walked through the block, from Seventh Street to Third Street, and found nothing else. As he went to the front, it was clear that the buildings looked older.

Browsing through the shops one by one, Zhang Deming clearly felt the prosperity here. Four-star items are very rare in the Heavenly Spirit Sect, but in this Qingyu City, they are not even qualified to hold a store.

This shows how powerful it is as a typical cultivator city within the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion and Qingguan.

After walking around, looking here and there, Zhang Deming spent a long time before he stopped in front of a store.

Looking up, this is a five-story attic. Compared with the surrounding shops, it is slightly larger. It looks like it is very old, at least hundreds of years old.

There is a plaque hanging on the store. The four words "Dark Blue Branch" are clearly written on the plaque. In the lower right corner of the plaque, there are three small characters that read "Herring Shop".

He has gone through the information compiled by the monitoring elf and has a general understanding of this place.

Zhang Deming paused and looked at it for a moment, then stepped into the store. The first floor was a large hall with a sales-type auction table in the middle and various counters around it.

Looking at this familiar layout, Zhang Deming smiled, obviously learning the patterns of other branches.

Zhang Deming looked around and could roughly see that it was divided into many areas. Various items are sold, some on consignment and some for self-sale. Of course, most of them are two-star items.

"Senior, what do you need to buy?" Zhang Deming just looked at it for a moment, and a young lady from around came forward with a smile and asked Zhang Deming.

Zhang Deming looked at the other party, his cultivation level was not low, he was a Tai Chi practitioner.

‘Is it developing so well? Is this what the receptionist lady is? '

While thinking, Zhang Deming looked around. There were counter specialists at each counter, and many people were shopping alone. It seemed that few people in the entire store had such a reception like him.

‘So not everyone receives such a reception, is it because of their own cultivation? '

Zhang Deming said in his thoughts: "I just came to take a look. By the way, what is the sign of your store?"

The female cultivator smiled and said: "Senior, are you here for the dark blue spirit-nurturing beads? I'm really sorry, it's already late this month, and the dark blue spirit-nurturing beads in our store have long been auctioned off.

If your seniors want to buy this as a gift for your juniors, please come early next month.

Of course, if the senior has a membership card of our store, or is a manufacturer of any miscellaneous items with a three-star rating or above, and agrees to list the items for sale in our store for a long time, our store can reserve a spiritual bead for the senior next month. "

‘Huo, this guy really plays his signature product well! It’s so fascinating! '

While thinking, Zhang Deming asked: "Put it here for consignment?"

The female cultivator kept her professional smile, shook her head and said, "Of course not, these are some public items, seniors with such a cultivation level will definitely look down on them.

The second floor is for three-star items, the third floor is for four-star items, and the fourth floor... is used to entertain some special guests. "

"Where's the fifth floor? I see your building has five floors." Zhang Deming asked.

"The fifth floor is the owner's private floor and is not open to the public!" the female cultivator replied with a smile, maintaining a commercial smile.

Zhang Deming nodded, stopped asking further questions, and started wandering around the store. Seeing this, the female cultivator stopped talking and followed Zhang Deming silently.

After a long time, Zhang Deming walked around the store and said, "Okay, take me to meet your shop owner!"

The female cultivator was stunned for a moment, and then replied with a smile: "I'm really sorry, our shop owner has been in retreat for several years. If you, senior, have anything to discuss, I can inform Mr. Qiu.

Senior, don’t worry, Mr. Qiu has been managing our store alone for more than two hundred years. Mr. Qiu is the one who makes the final decision on most things in our store. "

Zhang Deming looked at the female nun and suddenly asked: "Do you know why your store is called Deep Blue Branch?"

The female cultivator was stunned again and said: "This is a name that the shop owner suddenly asked to change a few years ago because our shop joined a Deep Blue Merchant Alliance and changed the name according to the system."

"So you go and notify the general alliance that someone from the General Alliance is looking for something." Zhang Deming looked at the female nun.

The female cultivator's expression changed, and she immediately saluted Zhang Deming and said, "Senior, please come this way!"

Because of Zhang Deming's cultivation level, she led Zhang Deming upstairs without any hesitation or questioning.

At the same time, he tapped the nameplate-like badge on his chest. The badge flashed slightly, apparently sending a message.

Zhang Deming didn't care about this and was led all the way to the fourth floor.

As soon as Zhang Deming stepped onto the fourth floor, a middle-aged man walked towards him. What surprised Zhang Deming was that the man actually had a cultivation level at the peak of the Three Talents Realm.

When the two looked at each other, their eyes flickered. The middle-aged man Qiu Yunliang showed a hearty smile and saluted: "Qiu Yunliang, I will be the steward of the Deep Blue Branch."

Zhang Deming returned the greeting slightly and said, "Is this poor Taoist Li Zhengkun someone from the headquarters?"

"Dark Blue Headquarters?" Qiu Yunliang asked.

"Why, have you joined other business alliances?" Zhang Deming replied with the same question.

Qiu Yunliang looked at Zhang Deming and said with a smile: "Fellow Daoist is joking. The signboard of our store is a branch of the Deep Blue Business Alliance. Which business alliance can I join? By the way, Fellow Daoist said it is the main store. What does this mean? ?”

Hearing this, Zhang Deming raised his eyes and glanced at Qiu Yunliang, and said: "Call your shop owner, you are a clerk recruited by your shop owner privately.

It is not on the list of preliminary members, and it does not meet the conditions for preliminary members of our business alliance, so there are some things that you are not authorized to know yet. "

Qiu Yunliang's eyes flashed again, but he was not angry because of it. Instead, he trusted Zhang Deming's identity. It seemed that Tong Hou should have mentioned to him the matter of being a preliminary member of the Deep Blue Merchant Alliance.

"Hey, look at me, I'm just here to chat. Fellow Daoist, please come over here!"

As he spoke, Qiu Yunliang led Zhang Deming to the living room, and the two of them sat down. In the process, he triggered various strange communication array cards.

The female cultivator who led Zhang Deming up had already gone down a long time ago, and at this moment, a female cultivator with a peak level of Tai Chi began to prepare tea for Zhang Deming.

‘It seems that this Tong Hou’s background is not small. '

Zhang Deming looked at Qiu Yunliang, then at the female cultivator who was taking part in tea, his thoughts flickering.

"Speaking of this, Qiu really wants to ask, how can I become a regular reserve member of the Merchant Alliance? Or a formal member?" Qiu Yunliang looked at Zhang Deming and asked.

"Qiu asked my young master before. He said that he had just joined the alliance and didn't know anything about the matter. Of course, if the matter involves secrets, just pretend that Qiu didn't ask."

Zhang Deming raised his eyes and looked at Qiu Yunliang, took a sip of tea and said calmly: "I belong to the special branch of the Merchant Alliance. I am not responsible for the secret investigation and review of members, and I don't know much about this."

‘Secret investigation and audit? So initial reserve membership is passive waiting? '

Hearing this, Qiu Yunliang frowned slightly in his thoughts. Apparently, this was the first time he knew of such a weird way to join the Merchant Alliance.

Zhang Deming did not continue to dwell on this topic, but said: "Master? Are you Ji Qi's retainer? I don't seem to have seen Ji Qi mention this information about the family before."

"Hey, there are only these two people left in our family. There is no family.

If Qiu hadn't been in the hidden stake industry management category and his identity was extremely secretive, he probably wouldn't have survived. "Qiu Yunliang paused slightly and said, "These Fellow Daoists, let's talk to the Young Master. "

Following Qiu Yunliang's words, Zhang Deming also turned his head and looked away.

At this moment, I saw a young man strolling over, but in Zhang Deming's eyes, this young man was completely a shadow. The real person was a milk baby who had just passed the crotchless pants period.

At this moment, Milkman was shrouded in shadow, looking at Zhang Deming nervously.

The young man came not far from Zhang Deming and frowned: "Fellow Daoist, are you...?"

This questioning tone made Qiu Yunliang's whole body tense suddenly, and he looked at Zhang Deming warily.

"Pfft..." Zhang Deming looked at Milkman's Tong Hou and couldn't help but smile, leaving everyone confused for a while.

"I said, that guy Zhang Wu didn't tell you, do you need to say hello to the district manager when doing cross-district work? And why do you carry such an image?"

Zhang Deming's words made Tong Hou stunned, his expression changed slightly, and he said to Qiu Yunliang: "Mr. Qiu, you guys go out for a meeting first!"

"Young Master!" Qiu Yunliang said with a frown. Apparently, between these two sentences, he realized that Zhang Deming and Tong Hou were new acquaintances, and he was a little worried.

"Don't worry, it's okay. If this person really wants to do something to me, it won't make any difference even if you are here." Tong Hou looked at Qiu Yunliang and said.

In their Tianling District, since the time of the new district has passed, while they have daily tasks, the connections between members through the Book of Living Beings have also lost many restrictions.

As several members of the parliament, they often communicate with each other. Li Shifan, who is the most active in selling materials, talked about Tao Bing some time ago.

From this, it can be seen that the only way for high-star members of the alliance to assist in the battle is to petition.

Upon hearing this, Qiu Yunliang frowned and looked at Zhang Deming, confirming that the other person only had the cultivation level of the early stage of the Three Talents Realm.

But in the end, he didn't say anything more. It was obvious that he was very obedient to Tong Hou's words and did not exceed the rules in the slightest due to the huge gap in cultivation.

"If I remember correctly, the basic information of your alliance is that you are a child of an ordinary farmer, and later you will be affiliated to the inner disciple of Heavenly Spirit Sect?" Zhang Deming looked at Qiu Yunliang leaving and said, "Being able to own a store on Qingyu Third Street means that you have the potential to be a third-level talent. A loyal retainer, do you call him an ordinary farmer’s boy?”

Hearing this, Tong Hou said with a lonely expression: "This shop is part of my mother's dowry. My grandfather is an Independent Cultivator and likes to keep a secret when doing things. The family calls this a hidden stake.

This shop was a property that my grandfather quietly bought for my mother before she got married. It can be regarded as a money bag and a way out. Mr. Qiu was also arranged by my grandfather.

No one in our family knows about it except my mother and my sister. It is also because of this that this store can be preserved.

So strictly speaking, the ordinary farm boy I mentioned is not wrong, and the alliance does not seem to require an explanation of background? "

Zhang Deming looked at Tong Hou, lowered his head and took a sip of tea again, and said, "Okay, just ask out of curiosity."

"Senior asked Tong so many questions, but Tong doesn't seem to know the identity of senior?" Tong Hou looked at Zhang Deming and asked.

"I am Li Zhengkun, code name of the alliance is Thunder, a three-star member with yellow letters, and I am the steward of Tianji District." Zhang Deming said calmly.

After saying this, Zhang Deming spread his hands, and an exclusive book of living beings visible only to members of the light spot appeared.

Seeing this, Tong Hou breathed a sigh of relief. He bowed to Zhang Deming and said, "I've met Manager Li."

Zhang Deming waved his hand and said, "There's no need to be so polite, I don't pay much attention to these things, so don't bring Zhang Wu's tricks to me.

Also, your shadow should be gone. I think it’s tiring for you to stand like this, and it always makes me want to laugh. "

At this moment, the phantom of Tong Hou looked like he was sitting on the chair normally, but the person who made the phantom was standing in front of the chair. The scene was once funny.

Tong Hou was taken aback for a moment, and said with a wry smile: "I made senior laugh!"

While speaking, Tong Hou's figure dissipated, revealing the three-year-old milk baby in the center. The pink and jade look is extremely cute.

After dispelling the phantom, he turned around and climbed onto the chair, and sat on the chair, his movements were inexplicably funny.

Zhang Deming looked at the other party sitting down with a faint smile, and then said: "I heard Zhang Wu say something about you, and you are worthy of your position as a formal member of the alliance."

Tong Hou paused slightly and did not answer the question. He knew that at the beginning, he was desperately trying to run away for himself.

So he looked at Zhang Deming, changed the subject without making a trace, and said, "I don't know what the senior is doing this time?"

Zhang Deming put down the teacup in his hand, and said, "When I visited this Herring Street before, I accidentally found a lot of dark blue spirit cultivation beads.

And I belong to the Duzun Building, and I don't have the free store quota benefits of the Business Alliance, and I need permission to apply for opening.

Therefore, the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion subdivision does not belong to the Deep Blue Merchant Alliance. For this reason, I found this place, and then checked it in the alliance and found that it is a member of the Tianling New District to which Bailing Paradise belongs.

So I asked Zhang Wu, and found that the other party didn't know that you had crossed regions. In addition, you didn't say hello to me when you came to this district. Although this matter is just a formality, I always come to have a look. "

Tong Hou was stunned when he heard this, and immediately jumped off the chair and saluted, saying: "In this case, it is indeed the fault of my subordinates, because before crossing the district, I only mentioned it briefly to Manager Zhang.

When he acted later, he didn’t say anything specifically, so Manager Zhang didn’t explain anything. Therefore, his subordinates didn’t know that there was a branch of our alliance in the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion area. "

Zhang Deming waved his hand and said: "Okay, sit down. I said, I don't care about Zhang Wu's style. I came to see you today. In addition to saying hello, I have three things to do."

"Guard Li, please give me your orders!" Tong Hou replied immediately.

"First of all, didn't you place an order for weapon refining before? Because of your special request, Zhang Wu helped you place an order across regions in the alliance.

And I am the one who takes the order. Now that you are here, I happened to be free some time ago and made the utensils.

When Zhang Wu contacted me before, after he knew you were opening a store here, the guy asked me to trade with you directly. It's rare for him to change this hand. Anyway, he doesn't intend to make half of your spiritual stone price difference. "

As Zhang Deming spoke, he turned over his hand and took out a mask.

"Thank you, Manager Zhang, thank you Manager Li for taking the trouble..." Tong Hou paused before he could finish his words, staring at the mask that suddenly appeared in Zhang Deming's hand, hesitating for a moment before saying: "Law Treasure?"

"Haha, that guy Zhang Wu specially asked me to take action and order the utensils for you. Can I still use a Law Weapon to fool you?" Zhang Deming looked at the mask with a smile and said:

"Little guy, Nuo, your future master is right there. You can take care of it whether you like it or not. Don't embarrass me!"

Following Zhang Deming's words, the mask's aura flickered slightly and flew up. Under Tong Hou's horrified eyes, it circled around Tong Hou for a moment, and then touched Tong Hou timidly.

After being touched, Tong Hou said in horror again: "Weapon spirit?"

"Well, you are lucky. Originally, Pindao was just doing his best to save Zhang Wu's face. Unexpectedly, you are a lucky person, with a four-star foundation, you have become like this."

Zhang Deming said indifferently, selectively ignoring the difference between regular weapon spirits and rune life weapon spirits.

Upon hearing this, Tong Hou looked at the mask with burning eyes, causing the timid mask to retreat in fear.

For a moment, Tong Hou did not dare to reach out to take the mask, but smiled bitterly and said: "Steward, this thing of yours is too good, and juniors may not be able to afford it.

This subordinate store was barely able to survive four years ago due to problems with operations and supply, and could not earn a few spiritual stones a month.

It wasn't until after joining the Business Alliance that the Dark Blue Nurturing Pearl came into being. Because of its special success rate and the lack of personal inclination, it was possible to open up the situation and allow the business to pick up.

Although he has made a lot of spirit stones in the past few years, and the merchant alliance has not exploited his subordinates, he has only made tens of thousands of spirit stones in the past four years, and half of them have been spent by his subordinates because of some arrangements. "

Zhang Deming smiled and said: "It's okay, Zhang Wu told me about you, and I like you very much for a passionate young man in the alliance.

So let's go ahead with the original deal first, read half of your book first, and then see how many spirit stones need to be replenished. "

Tonghou was overjoyed when he heard the words, and said to Zhang Deming, "Wait a moment, steward."

After saying that, while Zhang Deming nodded, Tong Hou jumped off the seat, stretched his short legs, and ran towards the direction he came from.

The three-year-old milk baby, running in a hurry, is always inexplicably happy to be performed by Tong Hou. After Tonghou left, the mask silently flew to Zhang Deming.

Zhang Deming waited for a while, Tong Hou hurried back again, flipping his hand, a square wooden box floated in front of Zhang Deming, and said:

"Senior, this is the half of the secret code that the junior mentioned. Although I don't know its specific rank, half of the causes of my family's troubles are due to this. I think it has some background. This is the original one, and the junior only left two copies. , think about it."

Zhang Deming didn't reply, he waved the wooden box to the front, gently opened the wooden box, and there was half a book of exercises lying alone inside.

There is no cover, and the cracks are clearly visible on the spine of the book, as if it was deliberately torn away by someone, so the beginning of the book is full of words full of Taoism.

The Qi Accumulation breath of this text is extremely strong, and it always has a strong pull, which makes people sink into it. However, because there is only half of it, it is difficult to get started, which makes people feel extremely uncomfortable.

Feeling this breath, Zhang Deming's heart twitched. This is not a Rank Seven classic, after all Zhang Deming himself practiced the Rank Seven classic.

The Dao Yun of this book is too profound. Although the Dao Yun of the classics may be different in the ability of the book cultivator who made the secret book, there will be a certain difference in the effect of the same level of classics.

But this gap is within a certain range, and this one, even in the case of half a book, far exceeds the range of Rank Seven by several times.

If I'm not mistaken, when this tome was complete, it wasn't even a Rank Eight tome, it was extremely likely to be a Rank Nine tome!

As for the breath, it is indeed the breath of Yin and Yang Dao, which is not wrong.

"You said this thing is called "The Secret Book of Yin and Yang"?" Zhang Deming flipped through it, and put the book on the coffee table next to him without leaving a trace.

Tong Hou nodded, and nodded seriously: "Yes, it's called "The Secret Code of Yin and Yang"?"

"Obviously there is only half of it, or the second half. I browsed through it briefly, and I didn't see the name of the exercise mentioned anywhere. So you chose the name privately?" Zhang Deming asked.
