Lonely Immortal

So, Zhang Zhiwen came to the Wenxian Hall.

This Wenxian Hall is in the center of Feixian City. It is quite easy to find. Just ask anyone and you will know this place. The center of Feixian City is the Sanxiu Alliance controlled by the four major families. It is also a city within a city, with a gate in the east, west, south and north. There is a plaque on the door with the three words "Dengtian City".

Zhang Zhiwen didn't know what the four major families thought. They used the word "Xianfu" for the mansion and "Dengtian City" for the alliance. This tone is quite big. If they used "Wangtian City", it would be almost the same. It seems that the four major families are really used to being bossy in Feixian City, and they are even arrogant.

However, whether it is Dengtian City or Wangtian City, this is the location of the Sanxiu Alliance. There are various halls and gates such as the Affairs Hall, the Law Enforcement Hall, the Wenxian Hall, etc., which do have some Jianghu atmosphere. However, it is also true that many of the Sanxiu in Feixian City came from the secular world, and it is not surprising that some secular habits are left behind.

After Zhang Zhiwen came in, he found that there were many people coming and going here, which was not much quieter than the four major urban areas. There were also various shops here, which were also divided according to the east, west, south and north. It was estimated that they were all the industries of the four major families. The four major families occupied every corner of Feixian City and almost did not waste an inch of land.

Seeing the patrol teams coming and going, and the groups of scattered cultivators, Zhang Zhiwen mixed in the crowd and came to the door of the Wenxian Hall.

The door of the Wenxian Hall was more than nine feet high, which was almost the same as the door of the Lin family's fairy mansion, but there was no vicious dog blocking the way outside the door, only two squatting stone lions hanging, and no guards guarding. Obviously, this is a place that anyone can enter, just like Dengtian City, there is no guard guarding.

Zhang Zhiwen took a few glances and then he entered the door.

After entering, the hall was crowded with people, all kinds of casual cultivators were walking around, and there were long tables lined up in the hall, and some people were sitting behind the tables. Although these people were dressed in various ways, they should be the messengers in charge of affairs here. Speaking of which, the messengers are not quite the same as the managers. The managers are really in charge of some things, but the messengers are not. The messengers are responsible for registration and inspection. In terms of power, the two are probably similar, and these messengers are naturally the same as the managers, all of them are related households.

There was a long queue in front of these messengers, all waiting to do things. It was hard to see how these messengers did things, and they were slow and dawdling, and their attitudes were bad and their patience was very poor. If they asked more questions, they would yell and scold them at will. Many of these casual cultivators were furious, but they dared not speak out. Zhang Zhiwen came to a small table not far from the door. He saw some casual cultivators came in to ask questions, so he naturally planned to ask something, otherwise he would not know what was going on in the Wenxian Hall.

There was also a messenger sitting behind this small table, and it was a female messenger. This female messenger had a fat head and a big face, and looked like a pig, but she looked quite arrogant. She looked up at the casual cultivators who asked questions and ignored them. These casual cultivators could only obey and dare not annoy them.

Zhang Zhiwen followed the queue and saw some casual cultivators in front of him mocking and cursing the female messenger from time to time. He was not surprised. This place was indeed not much different from the secular world. Aren’t those errand boys in the secular world all like this? It’s not worth it to compete with these good-for-nothings. It’s best not to bother with them.

In this way, he queued for a long time and finally got his turn. He asked how to issue some tasks.

"Send the tasks over there, next one!" The pig-headed female messenger scratched her nose, didn’t even raise her head, waved her hand impatiently, and sent Zhang Zhiwen away.

Just for this sentence, Zhang Zhiwen felt that he had queued in vain. If he wanted to ask about this matter, wouldn’t it be clear if he just pulled a casual cultivator over to ask?

So, he asked again: "I plan to issue the task of collecting ten years of medicinal materials. There are so many halls over there. Please tell me which one it is?"

"Didn't you hear me? They are all over there. You will know when you go there." The female errand leader was impatient on the spot, staring with eyes, as if she was angry because of the bad sex last night and implicated Zhang Zhiwen.

Zhang Zhiwen glanced at her indifferently and slapped her casually.

With a snap, the female errand leader was slapped and fell out on the spot.

A dead fat pig who came in at the second level of Qi Refining by relying on connections, why is he so arrogant?

Zhang Zhiwen doesn't like to argue with others, because he knows that he is not as skilled as others, but who is this dead fat pig? When he was in the secular world, he knew the situation of such people best. Most of them didn't really have any background, just a little better than the average bottom, otherwise how could they be arranged to be errand leaders in such a place? Although the job here is easier, the pay is also very low. If something really happens, this kind of messenger will not be able to get away with it in most cases, because the four major families will not let such people lose face for them.

It's just that these people are usually arrogant, and most casual cultivators basically don't dare to offend them, thinking that they have some power. In fact, there is no need to be afraid of these messengers at all, because they have no power.

"You!... You dare to hit me?" The fat pig covered his face, staring at Zhang Zhiwen in disbelief, but with an angry devil's attitude.

Zhang Zhiwen walked over, raised his foot and kicked, the kind of kick to death, while shouting: "I told you to steal my money, I told you to steal my money!"

The dead fat pig was beaten and screamed, this Qi Refining Level 2 cultivator was rolling on the ground worse than pigs and dogs.

The casual cultivators around were almost stunned when they saw this scene.

Not long after, the guards came in a hurry, and Zhang Zhiwen stopped. The dead fat pig was already beaten and her parents didn't recognize it. When she saw the guards coming, she suddenly cried and howled: "Hitting someone, beating someone, He’s beaten to death! … Catch him quickly and let him die! …”

The guard came up and controlled Zhang Zhiwen, and said with a gloomy look: "Why are you beating someone?"

"She stole my money. If you don't believe me, just search her and you'll find out!" Zhang Zhiwen was very calm. This kind of thing is too trivial. Before beating someone, he had already thought of a plan. He was a bit of a petty thief, so that's not necessarily a bad thing. , this kind of frame-up technique of substituting flowers and grafting others has been tried and tested.

Sure enough, the guard searched and found that the fat pig head was carrying spiritual stones. The guard's face became even more gloomy now. The rules of the alliance were clear. Those on duty could not bring spiritual stones on duty, otherwise they would be thrown into prison.

This matter is naturally very simple. How can the four major families allow their subordinates to act recklessly? Isn’t this trying to steal food from their mouths? If you want to rob it, it will be robbed by the four major families, not these lowly slaves.

Therefore, she was dragged away while the dead fat pig looked shocked and cried out like crazy.

"If you are stolen, please report it to our patrol team. Don't do anything without permission next time, otherwise you will be taken away too!"

The patrol guard also warned Zhang Zhiwen, and then left without saying anything.

Zhang Zhiwen naturally knew the reason for this, and to put it bluntly, if someone accidentally stole something, the patrol team would also be responsible, and Zhang Zhiwen came out to clean up the dead pig for them, so they naturally didn't mind, and even felt that Zhang Zhiwen was doing justice. Dare to do it, but it was just because of so many people that he said this.

As for whether the dead fat pig was really stolen and how, does the patrol team care? It's just a small job, you can change it at any time. Maybe some people from the patrol team want to come over and work as a job!

However, when Zhang Zhiwen made such a fuss, other casual cultivators also saw it, but they still acted as if nothing happened. After all, this person can weigh the pros and cons. It is understandable for a fat pig to steal something and be beaten, but if I'm afraid it's not okay to attack the bad guy for no reason, right?

Therefore, the hall is still the same as before, whether the chaotou should be arrogant or arrogant, and whether he should greet the family members of the casual cultivators or greet them.

However, these casual cultivators were also a little wary of Zhang Zhiwen. Seeing Zhang Zhiwen approaching, they all subconsciously avoided it, as if to avoid having anything to do with him. It can be seen that many people are actually people who bully good and fear evil, including Those bad guys were obviously not so arrogant when they saw Zhang Zhiwen coming over.

Zhang Zhiwen walked towards one of the tables with fewer people. Some casual cultivators subconsciously gave up their seats. In this case, Zhang Zhiwen was not polite and stepped forward to ask about the mission.

This time, the chaotou was more knowledgeable. Maybe these casual cultivators and chaotou thought Zhang Zhiwen was the steward of a certain family or something. Otherwise, who would dare to be so bold as to slap the chaotou in public? So the poor man quickly registered and searched for Zhang Zhiwen, and soon, he actually had a clue.

"Master, do you think this is okay?" Cha Tou took out a brochure, opened it and showed it to Zhang Zhiwen.

Zhang Zhiwen took a look and felt happy. There really was a task of ten years of medicinal materials, and the other party was a third-level Qi refining casual cultivator. At this moment, he had already arranged the task and was waiting for someone to announce it. Rogue cultivators can come and hand over things right away.

"It's up to him." Zhang Zhiwen chose to agree to the handover without saying a word.

The task of Wenxiantang is that simple. It may be released and completed very quickly. The poor person is responsible for registration and verification, which is equivalent to being a middleman. Wenxiantang charges a small fee, and the rest is the matter of the parties involved.

"Okay, I'll notify him right away." The chief quickly took out a jade slip. This was Zhang Zhiwen's first time seeing it. It was white, similar to a bamboo tube with many leaky holes, but it was made of white jade. Obviously It also has spiritual power.

At this time, Chatou injected a bit of spiritual power, and the jade slip shone slightly, and then Chatou seemed to inject some information into the jade slip. This seemed to be similar to sound transmission, but Zhang Zhiwen did not know these things, so he just watched.

Not long after, a man came outside the hall. This man was in his twenties. He came to Zhang Zhiwen carrying a large basket of medicinal materials.

This man met Zhang Zhiwen and saw that Zhang Zhiwen was still at the third level of Qi refining at a young age. He quickly clasped his fists politely and said, "Brother, I am Zhao Tieqing!"

Zhang Zhiwen nodded, and then counted the number of medicinal materials. These were all he needed, and he paid for them. These things totaled one crushed spiritual stone.

Zhang Zhiwen doesn't care at all. He still has spirit stones on his body now, and a broken spirit stone is nothing. In addition, Wenxiantang also charges a fee, and the minimum is only a broken spirit stone. In other words, these ten years of medicinal materials, He spent two broken spirit stones, but he was about to catch up with Yue Feng who had to carry manure for a month.

Okay, now that we have all the medicinal materials, we can start refining the spiritual energy powder.
