Mind Cultivation Record

At the entrance of an alley, Xiao Mian "accidentally" met Guo Kai.

"Isn't this little brother Guo? Are you changing shifts so early?"

"Senior..., alas! Senior doesn't know something! I'm afraid this junior won't have to go to Bailianchengxian Tower anymore! Where does the talk of changing shifts come from?"

"Why is this? Didn't you just make a deal?"

"this……"

Seeing Xiao Mian looking at him blankly, Guo Kai hesitated again and again, and finally told the secret of the matter - even though Xiao Mian had already guessed it!

However, it was because Guo Kai privately informed Xiao Mian about the benefits of the VIP Gold Card after he facilitated the deal, resulting in Bailian Chengxian Tower making tens of thousands of souls in vain.

Of course, perhaps even Guo Kai himself didn't know that the guide Jin Dan on the second floor was behind the scenes.

The golden elixir guide personally went out and failed to get Xiao Mian to buy anything. At the same time, Guo Kai sold three elementary magic weapons in a row.

Comparing people with each other makes people angry, so the Jindan guide will naturally not let Guo Kai go.

Guo Kai’s resignation is not difficult to understand...

"So it turns out that it was Xiao who got Guo Xiaodi into trouble?"

"This..., how can you say this? The senior takes care of the junior's business, and the junior is very grateful. It's really... Oh! Don't say this! Don't say this!"

"Then what are you going to do next?"

"Fortunately, I still have some spirit stones on hand. Although Bailianchengxianlou fired me, the commission for the previous transaction has been paid in full, so I won't have to worry about it in the short term! But... I won't hide it from my senior! My master has a hidden illness. To be cured, you need a huge amount of spiritual stones. It’s hard to say that this junior will continue to look for a job and prepare spiritual stones!”

"I have a place to go here. I wonder if you would like to go and give it a try?"

"Oh? Didn't Senior just arrive in Tianxia City?"

"That's right! I came here to join my friend. My friend has quite a lot of property in Tianxia City. Are you willing to work for him?"

"Senior, how does the industry that my friend belongs to compare with the Bailiancheng Immortal Tower?"

"Not sure!"

"What industry is your friend engaged in?"

"not understand!"

"..., who is your friend's name?"

"I do know this! His surname is Xie Mingying, and he is a fat man!"

"Xie Ying?" After muttering softly, Guo Kai's expression suddenly changed: "Young Master Xie Family!?"

"seems like it!"

"Is this... what the senior said true?"

"It's absolutely true! If you are willing, I will sign a contract with you, and I will be your guarantee, allowing you to work under Fatty Xie. What do you think?"

"This...this is naturally excellent!"

Nodding his head again and again, Guo Kai just felt that he had had a lot of twists and turns today.

At first, he was still ecstatic about earning 10,000 yuan for nothing;

Then, he suffered the painful blow of being fired from Bailianchengxianlou without any reason;

Finally, in a twist of events, he actually got the opportunity to work under Xie Ying.

Xie Ying may not be famous in other places, but he has an extremely high reputation in Tianxia City, especially among monks like Guo Kai who are determined to engage in business.

No matter what else, Xie Ying was able to become famous by single-handedly opening up a branch for the Xiangfu Chamber of Commerce in such a wild place as Nanyue State.

After that, Xiao Mian and Guo Kai signed a contract, and the latter left happily holding the contract jade slip.

Seeing this, Xiao Mian smiled lightly.

Just at this moment, Hemerocallis came over.

"Brother! This is not like your style!"

"Girl! Are you arranging your big brother again?"

"People just discuss matters! When did you become so nosy?"

"This Guo Kai can be considered a responsible person. I can't let him end up in poverty because of me, right? Besides, I do have a use for him..."

"Hmph! I knew it!"

"Don't talk about this! Don't you want to go shopping somewhere else? I have nothing to do today, so I will stay with you, okay?"

"Of course that's good!"

With a sweet smile, Hemerocallis pulled Xiao Mian and walked onto the White Jade Avenue.

After that, the two of them walked east and west, until they reached the end of the day.

Tianxia City is extremely prosperous, and with the spirit stone in hand, there is no shortage of places to stay.

The two of them stayed at a cultivation inn called "Yuntian Pavilion".

This Yuntian Pavilion is said to be the first-class high-end inn in the world. The cost of one night is enough to deter ordinary monks.

For Xiao Mian, naturally he would not treat himself badly.

A night of silence.

Early the next morning, Xiao Mian walked out of Yuntian Pavilion alone.

At this time, Xiao Mian had already acquired the Ten Thousand Transformations Spiritual Appearance.

Xiao Mian's transformed face is that of Bai Jintang. Therefore, he is very coquettish. Today, Xiao Mian is dressed in white brocade clothes and has three golden crowns on his head.

The white brocade clothes were originally custom-made in Wan Zong City; the triple golden crown was contributed by Guo Junyi, the holder of the golden order in the Wang Family Recruitment Hall.

In this way, the Bai Jintang disguised by Xiao Mian is also lifelike.

It's just that in every gesture, he lacks the elegance and splendor of a wealthy young man.

Xiao Mian didn't care either. He wasn't trying to recruit a bride, he was just trying to hide his identity.

Xiao Mian was walking carelessly in the streets and alleys of Tianxia City.

In fact, Xiao Mian was paying close attention to every move in Tianxia City.

The original Xiangfan City was, after all, just Xiangfan City. Today's Tianxia City is the heart of the Xiangfu Chamber of Commerce and even the entire Chu County.

Xiao Mian wanted to imprint all the information about Tianxia City in his mind.

He firmly believes that one day, these things will be of great use!

In this way, Xiao Mian went out early and came back late for three consecutive days.

On the fourth day, Xiao Mian still looked at the Xie family despite Bai Jintang's appearance.

The journey was uneventful, and Xiao Mian met Xie Ying.

Just because Xiao Mian came here at the invitation of Xie Ying.

"Brother! What kind of look are you doing? You are so coquettish!"

"..., Brother! This is the most popular cool platinum style this year!"

"I don't care whether it's platinum or black iron! There's nothing wrong with that thing, right?"

The thing Xie Ying was referring to was naturally the heart of ghosts and gods that he asked Xiao Mian to keep for him that day.

Seeing Xiao Mian nodded, Xie Ying felt relieved.

"Can the elder brother tell the younger brother now: Why should such an important thing be stored with the younger brother? I don't say whether the younger brother will take it as his own. The elder brother is not afraid that if something happens to the younger brother, he will cause the Xiangfu Chamber of Commerce to lose three dollars. Ten thousand souls?”

"You kid! You are so cunning and cunning, didn't you guess it?"

"Unless - if you put this thing at your place, it will be more dangerous!"

"Not bad!" Nodding, Xie Ying picked up the tea cup and took a sip, then sighed: "Not long after you left that day, brother, the caravan was ambushed..."

"Ambush!? With Third Uncle Xie and that old guy Jin Bakong here, you actually dare to ambush the caravan? Could it be..."

"Nascent Soul Intermediate Cultivator!" After a pause, Xie Ying continued, ignoring Xiao Mian's change of expression: "In desperation, thanks to Senior Zhu Yanji, regardless of past grudges, he took the initiative to show up to fight against Elder Jin and my third uncle. I was lucky enough to defeat the ambusher!"

"Huh..., the other party's courage is not ordinary!"

"That's not all! The elders already know about the existence of this thing!"

"Really? I don't think the four holy ladies who came to the Netherworld Ghost Realm would be so unwise!"

"That's natural! Once the secret of the Heart of Ghosts and Gods is exposed, it will be the most detrimental to the Four Saints. Of course, I am not the one who leaked this."

"Then the only one left - the person who signed the ten million spirit contract that day?"

"Um!"

"Why did he do this?"

"To win the support of some people in the elders' body!"

"for example?"

"Jin family! Or there are other families..."

"When I heard what Big Brother said, I had doubts. Since even Big Brother, you can see at a glance that the contract with tens of millions of souls is a trap, how can those old foxes in the elders not see through it? Now it seems, The body of elders is also in disarray!”

Xiao Mian's words would be heart-wrenching remarks to other large forces, but in the Xiangfu Chamber of Commerce and in front of Xie Ying, he had no reservations.

Just because the Xiangfu Chamber of Commerce has always advocated equality and freedom, it is not uncommon for low-level monks to openly criticize high-level monks as long as they take advantage of their reasoning.

This is also what Xiao Mian gained from wandering around Tianxia City these days.

"Xiangfu Chamber of Commerce - at best, it has a profound foundation; at worst, it is deep-rooted! As a direct agency that controls and manages the Xiangfu Chamber of Commerce, the Elders Group has supreme power. The Elders Group has thirteen chief elders. Once the Elders Group If more than half of the elders agree on a certain matter, it is equivalent to the decision of the Xiangfu Chamber of Commerce!"

"Is it possible that someone in the group of elders proposes to smuggle the hearts of ghosts and gods to the East China Sea?"

"..."

"No way!? Are...are they all shit eaters? Are the Jin family crazy?"

"The Jin family is not crazy! From the beginning, the Jin family has been planning to ensure the harvest despite droughts and floods. It was the head of the Jin family, Jin Batian, who proposed signing this contract. I think by that time, the Jin family already had some relations with the Three Gods. So sneaky!"

"What should we do over there in the Netherworld and Ghost Realm? Who will bear the wrath of the Ghost Saint?"

"Of course it's the Xiangfu Chamber of Commerce and Shancai Tongzun!"

"Ha! What a Jin family! What a Jin Batian! The benefits belong to the Jin family, and the troubles belong to the entire Xiangfu Chamber of Commerce. This abacus... tsk tsk!"

"Don't worry! The Jin family is not the only one in the body of elders. At least my Xie family and Chi Lian family will never allow this kind of thing to happen - the Jin family actually understands this very well. They just want to fish in troubled waters and make as much profit as possible. Just some benefits.”

"What is the current attitude of the elders?"

“A compromise—a public auction of the hearts of ghosts and gods!”

"Hmph! What a compromise!"

A cold snort showed Xiao Mian's displeasure.

It should be noted that the heart of ghosts and gods was originally a product of the Netherworld and Ghost Realm, and was stolen by the Three Temples.

Previously, the Xiangfu Chamber of Commerce signed the contract for the tens of millions of souls without knowing what was going on. It can be said that they were kept in the dark. But now that they know the origin of the ghost and god's heart, it is fine not to return it to the ghost realm. , even came up with the idea of ​​a public auction.

Euphemistically called a compromise?

Which discipline is this broken, and which discipline is practiced?

It's no wonder that Xiao Mian, who has always been indifferent to emotions and anger, also acted so indignant.

Of course, there was another reason why Xiao Mian was so excited.

That was the reason why Zhu Yanji and the other four people agreed to reach a temporary ceasefire agreement with Xie Ying entirely because of Xiao Mian's mediation.

Now that the Xiangfu Chamber of Commerce has turned its back on anyone, could it mean that even Xiao Mian has been tricked into it?
