Strange mountains and rivers

"Oh? Where are you from? Which sect or family?" The other party was obviously not fooled by Chen Huaisheng's words, and asked with a smile: "If I am not shortsighted, the one next to you should be Miss Kou Si, right?"

Kou Qing blushed, and then quickly became slightly angry, and couldn't help but put her hands on her hips: "Why, can't I accompany my friend to your Xixi Shop to buy things?"

"Miss Si is too polite, it's not that it's not possible, but this gentleman said that he is far away from Bianjing, and we want to understand the situation of the customer." Daozhong was not frightened by Kou Qing's attitude, and explained with a smile: "Miss Si should also know that the goods in our Xixi Shop are not sold to just anyone, especially these spiritual plant seeds."

This is the truth, whether it is Yunzhong Miaofang, Taihe Market, or Wanxiang Zhengdian, it is the same.

Ordinary items are fine, but if you want to buy bulk materials, or high-end rare items, or important and valuable goods, you need to check your identity.

For example, if you want to buy a high-end or even rare and expensive magic weapon, but you are a Taihua Dao, it will be difficult to buy it in Yunzhong Miaofang.

Of course, this is just a formality. If someone really wants to buy it and is restricted, they can naturally find other agents to come forward and transfer it a few times.

However, for these markets, such inspection restrictions are indispensable. At least it is a gesture, which can also increase the cost of the other party's purchase and reduce the efficiency of the other party.

Chen Huaisheng wants to buy spiritual plant seeds. It is not a rare and high-end item, but if you want to buy a lot, and it is a sect family around Bianjing City, Xixi Shop will definitely have to make some restrictions. Otherwise, these spiritual plants you plant and cultivate will not directly compete with Xixi Shop for business?

However, generally speaking, this is just a formality. These big markets all have spiritual plants for sale. If you restrict people from buying spiritual plant seeds, can you still restrict other families?

Xixi Shop is just more diverse than other spiritual plants, and it is more cost-effective to buy here, not irreplaceable.

Chen Huaisheng smiled. He had no intention of hiding his identity. The Chonghua Sect was now located in Hebei Province, and even its relationship with the Jiulian Sect had become very weak. Other sects, except for the Baishi Sect, had no ties or grudges with other sects, let alone the Tianyun Sect.

The backer of the Baishi Sect was not the Tianyun Sect. Even if it was, the Tianyun Sect would not stop selling to the outside world for this reason. Otherwise, the relationship involved would be too complicated, and the business would not be done.

It can be said that as long as it was not directly against the hostile forces of the Tianyun Sect itself, generally speaking, there would not be too many restrictions.

Chen Huaisheng also honestly told his identity.

Sure enough, after the other party was slightly surprised, he did not say anything else, but asked Chen Huaisheng to choose the items he needed first. As for payment and delivery, that was the next step.

The general meaning was that as long as what Chen Huaisheng said was true, the deal could be concluded, and they only needed to verify and confirm Chen Huaisheng's identity.

There are fewer wood-type spiritual plants than water-type and fire-type spiritual plants, because the spiritual plants themselves have wood properties, and the real wood-type spiritual plants generally refer to spiritual plants with particularly strong wood properties.

Chen Huaisheng selected a total of twelve types of spiritual plant seeds, of which wood-type spiritual plant seeds accounted for seven categories, five categories were food-tonifying spiritual plants, two categories were attack-type spiritual plants, and the other five categories were water-type and fire-type spiritual plants, all of which were food-tonifying spiritual plants.

Among them, the nine-leaf magnolia and the moist leaf Jiamu are the most valuable wood-type spiritual plants. The lotus seeds of the nine-leaf magnolia are full of spiritual power, and the wood pith of the moist leaf Jiamu is extremely beneficial.

The nine-leaf magnolia can mature in one year, but the moist leaf Jiamu is a shrub and it takes three years to mature and extract the pith.

The reason why we still need to buy water-type and fire-type spiritual plant seeds is that although the spiritual plants planted in Wolongling can also produce some seeds, these seeds have been degraded after several rounds of cultivation, and their output has gradually decreased.

Chen Huaisheng estimated that this might be related to the fact that there were too few such spiritual plants in the planting area, and the limited effect of pollination and propagation by wind or bees, so he had to purchase some new ones to supplement.

If the planting area is expanded in the future, this situation may be improved.

Chen Huaisheng even considered going to Yefenggou to get a few nests of bees and bringing them back to Wolongling, so as to facilitate the pollination and propagation of various spiritual plants, so that the spiritual plants in Yunzhong Mountain would not degenerate so quickly.

After paying the deposit, Chen Huaisheng and Kou Qing left Xixipu.

Kou Qing was still a little indignant, but Chen Huaisheng thought it was normal.

These shops are certainly profit channels for large sects, but they must also serve the overall interests of the entire sect. If hostile forces come to purchase various spiritual materials, it also means a trend, and naturally they must be vigilant. At the same time, it is inevitable to ban and refuse to sell.

The situation in Taihe Market was similar, but the variety was richer. The spiritual plants were slightly inferior to those in Xixi Market, but the spiritual materials such as monster bones and flesh were far superior to those in Xixi Market. Chen Huaisheng bought some beast meat and bones, as well as some spiritual materials for alchemy and talisman making.

"Let's go, we've almost finished buying, let's find a place to sit down." Chen Huaisheng stretched lazily as he came out of Taihe Market, "This is your territory, you should host it."

Kou Qing rolled his eyes at him, and chose a teahouse on his own, and the two of them went in.

"I knew you would ask this question. Don't you know nothing about the situation in Zhao because you were sent to Hebei?" Kou Qing's expression remained unchanged, but there was a hint of teasing. .

"Yanzhou is thousands of miles away from Bianjing. Of course there are people from the Chonghua Sect in Bianjing, but their understanding is definitely not as intuitive and profound as those of you who are among them." Chen Huaisheng patiently explained: "After all, the Jiulian Sect is related to The Chonghua sect has a very deep connection, and even though the two sides are now drifting apart, it is normal to still have some incestuous feelings.”

"Hey, aren't you worried about the safety of your childhood sweetheart?" Kou Qing turned into a smile.

"We are not childhood sweethearts. How old was Chi Mei when I left my hometown? I have never returned to my hometown since then." Chen Huaisheng shook his head: "But you also know that I benefited from her help when I entered the Chonghua sect, otherwise I would I don’t know where I’m hanging out, and I don’t know you.”

Of course Kou Qing is aware of the relationship between Chen Huaisheng and Xuan Chimei.

What she was jealous of was that Chen Huaisheng actually saved Xuan Chimei's life, and Xuanchimei was one of the most talented and stunning disciples of Jiulian Sect in recent years.

She is younger than herself, but it is said that she has reached the eighth level of Qi refining, and her performance is far better than hers. How can she, who is so arrogant and arrogant, endure this?

However, the good days of Jiulian Sect had come to an end, and Kou Qing couldn't help but feel a little gloating.

The Jiulian Sect, which is in constant civil strife, has reached the point of falling apart. Perhaps this Shangyuan Taoist meeting will be the day when the Jiulian Sect comes to an end.

"What are you worried about? Even if the Jiulian Sect is finished, she will be fine. The Yuanhe Sect still has some strength, and she is still the best disciple in the Yuanhe Sect. The elders of their sect will protect her no matter what. "Kou Qing couldn't help but said sourly.

"It's not entirely because of Chi Mei. I also have a nephew who is also in the Jiulian Sect." Chen Huaisheng explained: "Besides, it's hard to say what the collapse of the Jiulian Sect will bring to the situation of the entire sect in Da Zhao. If you don’t believe it, you Kou family haven’t thought about it.”

Kou Qing was silent.

The Kou family has certainly considered it. If such a large sect that was once prosperous fell slowly, it would be okay. If it fell to the ground suddenly, the interests involved would be huge, and no one could stand still.

Seeing that Kou Qing remained silent, Chen Huaisheng knew that the Kou family must have considered this matter a long time ago, and even Kou Qing had probably heard some rumors.

It's just that it's probably difficult to get some more confidential and substantive information about Kou Qing's identity.

"Okay, junior sister, there is no need to worry about this matter. Only the Nine Lotus Sect will be destroyed. It will have an impact on the disciples of the Nine Lotus Sect, but it will not be a desperate situation or life-threatening. Those who need to worry should be The big guys at the foundation level and above, especially the True Lords of the Purple Mansion, will be in danger once the forces that want to share the food become unanimous."

Chen Huaisheng's words made Kou Qing feel relieved a little, "Senior brother, so you Chonghua Sect is also watching the destruction of Jiulian Sect?"

"If you don't just watch, what can you do? Who can save them?" Chen Huaisheng shook his head: "The only one who can save them is themselves, but the three branches of their Jiulian Sect have been in trouble for a long time, and they are in the same situation. Look, It seems that they would rather collapse than compromise, or they think that the other party should compromise or give in, but if everyone thinks so, then they will all die together. "

Chen Huaisheng's words are on point. In fact, everyone understands this truth, but even if you understand it, it is extremely difficult to make yourself give in.

Isn’t this just a step-by-step journey to where we are now?

To be honest, Chen Huaisheng didn't know what attitude he and the Chonghua Party would take on this matter, and he was also at a loss.

The Jiulian Sect is about to collapse, but what about Xuan Chimei and Xiao Qi?

He can only take one step at a time.

But he felt that the presence of Shang Jiuling, Ding Zongshou and Zhu Fengbi together was probably more than just attending a Taoist meeting. It must have something to do with the fate of the Jiulian Sect. If the Jiulian Sect was really going to be completely destroyed, Chonghua Why can't Pi get a share of the pie?

Even if the Chonghua Sect is not strong enough, it still has this relationship with its allies of the Jiulian Sect. When the Jiulian Sect faced being devoured by other forces, when they were desperate, they chose to temporarily combine with the Chonghua Sect. It doesn't seem impossible. Of course, this may involve the choice of the Chinese-Chonghua faction.
