Strange mountains and rivers

Gou Yiwei sneered and shook his head, "Don't fool me with these fancy words. I'm ninety years old. I've eaten more salt than you have eaten. Can't I smell the smell you have here?"

Chen Huaisheng didn't expect that he couldn't fool this old man, but he was the most familiar with the situation in Nanchu.

Before Gou Yiwei entered the craftsmanship academy, he had traveled in Nanchu for many years. It would be better to find this guy than anyone else.

Seeing Chen Huaisheng's silence, Gou Yiwei shook his head: "I advise you not to take any chances. The Zijin Sect is also one of the four major sects in Southern Chu. What qualifications do you have to provoke? Or do you have other helpers? ?Higher level of Qi refining, or foundation building?"

Chen Huaisheng smiled and said, "It's almost the same."

Gou Yiwei's eyes lit up and he rubbed his chin, "Really?"

Chen Huaisheng smiled but said nothing.

"If that's the case, then we can make a good summary."

Seeing the old guy's expression of joy and eagerness to try, Chen Huaisheng couldn't help but ask: "Uncle Gou, your legs..."

"Don't worry about me. I don't like your small body." The old guy glanced at Chen Huaisheng with disdain, "But I heard from Zhao Sitian that you are careful and good at planning..."

"Uncle Gou, I don't have anything else to say. If you can provide me with some information worth pondering, we can talk about it. Otherwise, I can't say more to you..."

Chen Huaisheng made up his mind to wait for the rabbit but not the hawk. He had to listen to what this old guy could sell in his belly that was worth considering. Otherwise, he would rather give up this risky move.

When leaving Gou Yiwei's place, Chen Huaisheng basically had a rough idea in his mind.

I have to say that this old guy Gou Yiwei still has something in his stomach, and he is very familiar with the situation in Nanchu.

Big sects such as the Zijin Sect and the Canghai Sect are all treasures, and which sect has its foundation, which era it was established in, the current strength of each sect, and their relationship with each other can all be explained clearly.

Many words were not stated clearly, but Gou Yiwei also implicitly stated some goals, which made Chen Huaisheng a little suspicious. What did this old guy do before? Could it be that he was originally a bandit?

Not to mention, this guy only joined the Chonghua Sect when he was at the sixth level of Qi training. He stayed in the Chonghua Sect for thirty years. Not many people knew what he did before. They only knew that this guy should be with Nan Chu has some connections there.

Perhaps the elders and deacons knew the real situation, but no one mentioned it.

Southern Chu has a vast territory and a large population. Although it is not as good as Great Zhao, it is second only to Great Zhao and more powerful than Wuyue in the east. As one of the four major sects of Southern Chu, the Zijin Sect has its power in Jiangling, the capital of Southern Chu. In addition, there are still several Daozhou in the north close to Da Zhao.

The administrative divisions of Nanchu and Da Zhao are slightly different. They are divided into prefectures and counties. The prefectures are slightly smaller than the counties of Da Zhao, but slightly larger than the prefectures of Da Zhao. They are somewhere in between, but the counties are similar.

Yunmeng Prefecture and Lize Prefecture to the north of Nanchu are both close to Da Zhao.

Gou Yiwei gave two targets, one was the Dongfu Ghost Market in Yunmeng Prefecture, and the other was the Mulan Mountain Lingsha Mine in Han Prefecture.

Dongfu Ghost Market is located in Liuyezhu, Xia County, Yunmeng Prefecture.

Although it is Nagisa in name, compared to Yunmeng Daze, the area of ​​​​this land in the water is actually quite large.

It's just that because the water in Yunmeng Daze rises and falls, God has a great influence. Once there is a flood and the water surges, Liuyezhu will only have less than a thousand acres of land left. At that time, the area covering several miles was covered with lush reed forests.

This is also a spontaneously formed market on the edge of Yunmeng Daze. However, due to the fluctuating water potential, this piece of land has become a piece of land on the edge of Yunmeng Daze. It has also become an ally of the Zijin Sect— —An important financial source under the control of Yuan Mingzong.

Because Liuyezhu has a special geographical location, it is right at the mouth of the gourd of Yunmeng Daze, which is shaped like a gourd. It is also the choke point leading to Nandu. The cultivators from Da Zhao in the north, the casual cultivators from Bashu in the west, and Baling The cultivators from the mountains and Yunmengze all like to come here to trade.

The other place is simple. It is the most important financial source of the Zijin Sect, the Mulan Mountain Spiritual Sand Mine. The spiritual sand produced every year supplies the Zijin Sect. It is not far from a Taoist temple of the Zijin Sect, only 60 miles away. .

Both places have their pros and cons.

Mulan Mountain Lingsha Mine has a simple goal.

According to the information provided by Gou Yiwei, only two high-level Qi-refining disciples from the Zijin Sect are stationed here, and the rest are disciples from the middle-level Qi-refining level and the early-level Qi-refining level.

The really powerful ones are the two foundation builders stationed at Hanzhou Taoist Temple, but they are sixty miles apart. If they move quickly and use clever methods, they can defeat them in one blow.

Chen Huaisheng had estimated Xiong Zhuang's strength. In terms of the depth of his spiritual power, it was equivalent to a high-level foundation building. However, the cultivation of a foreign cultivator should not only be measured by his spiritual power, but also his understanding.

If you can gain enlightenment through traveling and traveling in the world, you may gradually open your soul, and then reach the peak. In the end, it depends on whether you can overcome the tribulation. If you are successful in overcoming the tribulation, you will at least be above the Zi Mansion.

Compared with those who have early access to the Soul Aperture of other cultivators, they are born with extraordinary intuition and have perceptive abilities that humans cannot match. However, they are lacking in the Soul Aperture, that is, the ability to think and learn.

Human cultivation is the other way around. The soul aperture is actually conscious thinking, and even mortals can grow with age.

For human cultivation, the soul aperture refers to the growth of the spiritual roots of the Taoist bones. Not only must there be a root, but also continuous practice is required to tap out the potential of the spiritual roots of the Taoist bones and reach the ultimate level to become a true immortal.

With Xiong Zhuang's strength, it shouldn't be a problem to deal with the two high-level Qi Refiners, but if the foundation builders of Hanzhou Taoist Academy arrive, it will be hard to say. It is still unclear the true strength of the two foundation builders of Hanzhou Taoist Academy. , you still have to understand it on the spot.

The situation in Dongfu Ghost Market is more complicated.

The Yuanming Sect was nominally an ally of the Zijin Sect, but in fact it was a vassal of the Zijin Sect. Its sect leader was a fourth-level Foundation Establishment member, and there were also two gate-guarding elders at the second-level Foundation Establishment level and the first-level Foundation Establishment level.

The thing about garrisoning the ghost market in Dongfu is the second level of foundation building.

However, there are many monks coming and going in the Dongfu Ghost Market. Many sect disciples from Southern Chu, including the Zijin Sect, as well as casual cultivators from Da Zhao and Bashu also like to come here. This does not include the strange cultivators from Yunmeng Daze and Baling Mountain. This is the biggest uncertainty.

A second level foundation builder would certainly not be able to suppress such a ghost market.

Since it is a ghost market, a major feature is that people who come and go do not care about their identities, and the items traded do not care about their origins.

As for the ghost market, no one asked what happened on Liuye Nagisa.

But as long as they are in the ghost market, incidents such as robbery, theft, and murder are not allowed to occur. All grievances can only be resolved outside the ghost market.

The Zijin Sect in the ghost city has a Dharma eye watching over it. That is to say, if something goes wrong in the ghost market, the Dharma eye can promptly transmit the situation back to the Yunmengzhou Taoist Temple one hundred and twenty miles away. This is where the Zijin sect's mountain gate is and can be found at any time. Xianqing of Zifu stayed.

One hundred and twenty miles away, for Zifu cultivators, is only a matter of seconds. If you really want to run wild in the ghost market, you can decide for yourself whether you can escape.

Of course, it would be too risky to challenge the ghost market, even with Xiong Zhuang and Gou Yiwei, but if you just want to cause trouble in the ghost market and take advantage of the chaos, it is not impossible.

When it comes to planning something to do in the ghost market, Chen Huaisheng is confident that he can still devise some plans as long as he visits the site twice more, but Chen Huaisheng needs to consider Xiong Zhuang's execution ability.

He is a strange cultivator, and he has not been in the world for a long time, so he lacks experience. If something unexpected happens, he, a little shrimp at the second level of Qi Refining, will not be able to help at all, and he may not even be able to rely on him.

Still too risky.

The only option is the Mulan Mountain Spirit Sand Mine.

Just do it.

Once Chen Huaisheng determined his goal, he took action immediately.

When he arrived at Jiashe, he was at the second level of Qi Refining, and his degree of freedom was relatively greater. However, Chen Huaisheng still said hello to Guo Chongdao and applied to leave the mountain on the grounds that he needed to travel for a few days to find inspiration.

Originally, the outer disciples were not qualified to talk about their travels, but Chen Huaisheng succeeded in the second level of Qi refining in ten months, which made Guo Chongdao's face shine, so this small specialization was no longer a problem.

Unexpectedly, Gou Yiwei's lame leg would not affect his movements at all once the puppet limb was used. However, if it were to be a fight, the puppet limb might be difficult to support.

"This is the passage from the Lingsha mine. If my memory is correct, a batch of carefully selected finished Lingsha products will be shipped out of the mine every ten days. The specific quantity can only be predicted, probably between five hundred and one. Between six hundred pieces,..."

"This is the best ambush point, and the escorting monks are generally an eighth-level Qi Refiner with several middle-level and first-level Qi Refining disciples..."

"Where do you put the spiritual sand after it is transported?" Chen Huaisheng couldn't help but ask: "Every time it is transported to Hanzhou Taoist Academy, right? Hanzhou Taoist Academy also goes to Yunmeng Prefecture Zijin Sect Mountain Gate every ten days A chance of luck?"

Gou Yiwei took a deep look at Chen Huaisheng and smiled strangely, "It seems that I saw the right person. I knew that you would not be satisfied with robbing the Tao. How could you plan to solve the Hanzhou Taoist Temple? It was two months ago. Yunmengzhou Mountain Gate lucks once, but there are two foundation builders in charge, can your friend do it?"

"How can you catch tiger cubs if you don't enter the tiger's den?" Chen Huaisheng responded with a sly smile, "If my friend can't do it, wouldn't he still have you, Uncle Gou?"

"I can't reach it." Gou Yiwei shook his head and said with regret: "I can provide the best magic weapons and spiritual talismans, but I don't have the strength to compete with the foundation building. Even if it is the ninth level of Qi Refining, I can deal with it. No, I haven’t entered the country for more than ten years, otherwise how could I go to the craftsman’s workshop?”

Chen Huaisheng shook his head: "Uncle Gou, I don't believe you don't have a good friend outside the sect? He doesn't need to do anything. He can just contain a foundation builder. After he succeeds, he will be rewarded with three hundred spiritual sands."

"That's foundation building!" Gou Yiwei said without hesitation: "You have to pay more, five hundred spiritual sand!"
