The Wheel-Turning Master
Chapter 312 Acquaintance
Jiang Xingchi has been a good person since he came to the north, and it was no exception when he came to Yubi Mountain.
After listening to Yuan Jie's advice, he really went to the Guyang Sect and Qingxin Xuanmen to persuade them to make peace.
Lin Bai and Cheng Yuanli accompanied him, and felt that the further north they went, the less useful the reputation of Qiaoshan would be.
When they were in Wuque Mountain, Tianhuo City and Hehuan Sect at least gave them face, but Guyang Sect and Qingxin Xuanmen were different.
When they first heard that it was Qiaoshan's newly promoted Yuanying who visited, they were still polite. When they talked about bridging the chaos, they also frankly said that they were the victims. Later, when Jiang Xingchi said that he wanted to lift the commercial ban, Guyang Sect and Qingxin Xuanmen did not give him face, and directly accused Jiang Xingchi of being a running dog of Zhou Huishan's old people.
Jiang Xingchi swallowed his anger and didn't care about this matter at all.
Lin Bai was also shameless, and drank and chatted with them to complete the North Travels.
Only Cheng Yuanli was thin-skinned and kept a dark face and didn't say anything.
When they returned to the True Jade Sect of Yubi Mountain, Yuan Jie saw that although Jiang Xingchi didn't do his job well, he was sincere, so he became more polite.
Lin Bai had nothing to do, so he wandered around Yubi Mountain with Yuan Qiye, seeing the local customs and geography, and asking about miscellaneous matters.
"Bi Huanqiu is from Jiuzha Mountain. He came here two years ago and I met him. Later he went north again and said he was going to Shoutian Pavilion." This was not a big deal, and Yuan Qiye didn't need to hide it.
After staying in Yubi Mountain for another half a month, he was about to leave, but Yuan Jie kept Jiang Xingchi, saying that the merchant ship of Shoutian Pavilion would arrive soon.
Lin Bai wandered around Yubi Mountain when he had nothing to do, and he knew a lot about merchant ships.
To the south of this place, there is a Yuanying sect separating it from Wuque Mountain, and the relationship is not very good.
To the northeast and northwest, there are Guyang Sect and Qingxin Xuanmen, and trade is cut off.
Although Yubi Mountain also has production, the place is still a little small, with only a fifth-level spiritual land. There are also markets around, but they are all small markets, just small fights.
There is no opportunity for expansion outside, and there are no new Yuanying inside. It is really trapped inside and outside. If there is no new Yuanying to take charge before Yuan Jie dies, then when Yuan Jie falls, it will be the time when the Yubi Mountain True Jade Sect will be destroyed.
Yubi Mountain Yuan Jie also went out to seek trade routes, but was ambushed by the Guyang Sect and Qingxin Xuanmen, and then he dared not go out alone.
Of course, there are external aids. Yubi Mountain is the second batch to go south, and there are the first batch of Zhouhui Mountain old people to the north, but after all, the Guyang Sect and Qingxin Xuanmen are guarding, and the exchange of materials is difficult.
Shoutian Pavilion is doing a lot of business, and their merchant ships are driving straight down to sell all kinds of materials.
The people of Zhouhui Mountain have a bad reputation, and the Shoutian Pavilion, the initiator, has a bad reputation. Various sects don’t like to trade with Shoutian Pavilion.
It was just that due to the pressure from the high-level cultivators, no one dared to go against them. Even if they were offended, they would just accept it.
Therefore, the merchant ships of Shoutian Pavilion traveled to various places, but except for the old people of Zhou Huishan who would buy a lot when they were short of people and things, other families did not buy much.
Because of this, the people of Shoutian Pavilion raised the price every year, and the old people of Zhou Huishan could only buy with great difficulty in order to defend and expand. In the end, they could not make ends meet and owed Shoutian Pavilion a lot of spiritual stones.
After waiting for another half a month, the merchant ships of Shoutian Pavilion arrived late.
There were a total of twelve flying boats, three large and nine small, and each flying boat had a flag with colorful clouds and the words "Shoutian" painted on it.
The merchant ships and flying boats were mighty, not like doing business, but showing off their power.
Yuan Qiye brought two golden pills to welcome them, and Lin Bai shamelessly attended the meeting.
The merchant ship of Shoutian Pavilion makes one trip every year, and the leader changes from time to time. This time, the leader is a male cultivator with a full beard. He does not wear an ordinary Taoist robe, but a fur coat that is worn inside out. It is unknown what kind of spiritual beast it comes from.
"Brother Xia." Yuan Qiye saluted with a smile on his face.
Lin Bai had received the news in advance. The leader is the descendant of the head of Shoutian Pavilion, named Xia Fenyi, who is in the middle stage of Jindan.
I heard that he has the hope of reaching Yuanying, but I heard that Shoutian Pavilion has no new Yuanying either, but he is in the same boat with Zhou Huishan’s old friend.
"It's Xiao Yuan." Xia Fenyi didn't look like a cultivator or a businessman. He was very rude. He looked into the distance and said with a heroic smile, "Xiao Yuan, your Yubi Mountain is getting more prosperous. When will you pay back the spiritual stones you owe?"
As Xia Fenyi spoke, he stepped forward and stared at Yuan Qiye, "Tsk, tsk, tsk, you look better! Do you want to go back to Zhou Hui Mountain?"
A Jindan cultivator is not considered low no matter where you are, but as a person of the same level, Xia Fenyi from Shoutian Pavilion teased the descendant of Yubi Mountain at will. No wonder the old people from Zhou Hui Mountain moved out.
That would be fine, but he only mentioned the name of Zhou Hui Mountain, which was really shitting on someone else's head.
Yuan Qiye didn't say anything, but just took two steps back.
The other two Yubi Mountain cultivators dared to be angry but didn't dare to speak.
Lin Bai watched from the side and saw Yuan Qiye trembling slightly, obviously he was extremely angry.
I have always heard that people from Shoutian Pavilion are difficult to get along with, and this time I am really enlightened.
Xia Fenyi laughed loudly twice, while Yuan Qiye had no expression on his face.
The two people exchanged purchase orders and asked someone to check the goods.
After the payment and goods were settled, Yuan Qiye invited Xia Fenyi to go to the main hall of Yubi Mountain, saying that Qiaoshan Yuanying was visiting here and he wanted to meet him.
"Qiaoshan?" Xia Fenyi touched his chin with a bit of disdain on his face, "Qiaoshan's new Yuanying? Could it be Jiang Xingchi? What is he doing here?"
He actually knew the name of Qiaoshan Jiang Xingchi, but just called Yuanying by his name, which was really arrogant.
"Qiaoshan was determined to eliminate the chaos from the ancestor, and Senior Jiang came here for this reason." Yuan Qiye had no expression on his face, and looked at Lin Bai again, saying, "This fellow Daoist Lin Zhuanlun followed Senior Jiang thousands of miles away."
"Senior Brother Xia." Lin Bai smiled and saluted.
"What qualifications does Qiaoshan have to interfere?" Xia Fenyi ignored Lin Bai, and then said: "But I'll meet you!"
While talking, Yuan Qiye brought the three golden pills of Shoutian Pavilion to the main hall of Yubi Mountain.
Yuan Jie did not show up, obviously not wanting to pay attention to Xia Fenyi.
Jiang Xingchi looked very kind.
Xia Fenyi gave face to Yuanying after all, saying that he had heard of Qiaoshan's name a long time ago, but he was quite perfunctory, and did not bow to salute, but only bowed his hands.
Jiang Xingchi was not angry, and his face was very warm. He first asked about the good of the ancestors of the Huashen of Shoutian Pavilion, then asked about the good of the head of the Xia sect, and then asked whether the merchant ships were going smoothly.
After talking nonsense for a long time, Xia Fenyi was impatient and asked: "Senior Jiang, I heard that you Qiaoshan wanted to be a peacemaker, is it true or not?"
"Of course it's true." Jiang Xingchi smiled.
"I wonder what Qiaoshan can rely on to make everyone put down their swords?" Xia Fenyi asked again.
"Everything depends on human effort." Jiang Xingchi said.
"Senior, have you achieved any success in your journey north from Qiaoshan?" Xia Fenyi asked again.
Jiang Xingchi was silent.
Xia Fenyi sneered, said no more, and turned away.
As expected of a family with a high-level cultivator of the Transformation of the Spirit, a mere Jindan dared to turn his face to a Yuanying cultivator.
Jiang Xingchi was not angry at all, and even asked Lin Bai to send him off.
Lin Bai was also shameless, and immediately followed him out.
"I heard that Xiang Wuhui from Qiaoshan was only one step away from the Transformation of the Spirit, is it true or false?" Xia Fenyi asked casually when he saw Lin Bai following him with his hands behind his back.
"I have only advanced to the Jindan level for a few days, and I have never been valued. I am not qualified to say a word to the Xiang Patriarch, so how can I know these secrets?" Lin Bai said honestly.
"That's right." Xia Fenyi laughed, "It's extremely difficult to achieve the Nascent Soul stage, and there is no seventh-level spiritual land in Qiaoshan. How can Xiang Wuhui spy on the Great Dao? If he worships under my ancestor and listens to his instructions, he will have a chance."
In a trance, Lin Bai seemed to have returned to the time when he first entered Xinyifang. At that time, he was at the bottom of the social hierarchy. The Golden Core family looked down on those without Golden Core, and those with more Golden Core looked down on those with less Golden Core.
So Lin Bai just smiled and didn't say anything.
"Do you still want to continue north?" Xia Fenyi asked again.
"Of course." Lin Bai smiled and said, "Senior Jiang said he wanted to go to Zhou Hui Mountain to pay homage to your sect's God-Transforming Patriarch."
"How can you meet the God-Transforming Patriarch just because you want to?" Xia Fenyi was very disdainful, "If Xiang Wuhui comes in person, it's natural. This Jiang Xingchi is just a newly promoted Nascent Soul, so he's still not qualified."
Lin Bai smiled but said nothing, thinking that the fox's foul mouth at least has a target, specifically looking for someone's weakness to pinch, and this person is just pure foul mouth.
Pinching his nose, he talked a few more words with the other two Jindan of Shoutian Pavilion, and found that the three people have similar personalities.
Anyway, the old people of Zhou Hui Mountain look down on others, and the people of Shoutian Pavilion look down on everyone, so they are a good match.
The Shoutian Pavilion merchant ship stayed for five days, and also bought some special products of Yubi Mountain, and then continued to go south.
Lin Bai and Cheng Yuanli were sent by Jiang Xingchi to see them off.
"I have always admired the name of Shoutian Pavilion, and I hit it off with the three senior brothers. Now the three senior brothers are going south again, so I can only send them off with inferior wine." Lin Bai poured three cups of wine seriously.
Cheng Yuanli shook his head helplessly and did not look. Yuan Qiye watched from the side, but also remained silent.
Xia Fenyi and the other three Jindan took the wine cups, laughed, and drank them all.
"I have always felt that you can get along!" Xia Fenyi drank the wine, threw the wine cup away, laughed and patted Lin Bai on the shoulder, and said: "Your Qiaoshan wine is like people, not too bad, our Shoutian Pavilion's wine shop!"
"When will senior brother return? I look forward to it!" Lin Bai asked with a smile.
"Three months at the shortest, half a year at the longest!" Xia Fenyi said.
After talking about these gossips, the merchant ships set off one after another.
"We are leaving too." Jiang Xingchi did not stay for a moment.
"..." Lin Bai originally thought that he could stay for a few more days, but he did not expect Jiang Xingchi to be so anxious.
There was no other way, so the three of them continued to head north.
They flew over 10,000 miles, passed through several sects, and finally arrived at Yinshan Mountain.
This place was occupied by the first batch of Zhouhui Mountain’s old people who went south. It was not far from Zhouhui Mountain, only more than 20,000 miles away.
There were a total of three Yuanying in the first batch who went south. One old Yuanying died when fighting for territory. Now there are two left, and they are both very old.
Yinshan Mountain has been operating for a long time and is doing well, but it is weak in succession. There are more than a dozen golden elixirs, but no Yuanying.
There are three other Yuanying sects around, and they are also enemies who have never had any dealings with each other.
Yinshan Mountain is not far from Zhouhui Mountain, but Shoutian Pavilion never helps. It only sells supplies and drinks blood from the old people of Zhouhui Mountain.
Jiang Xingchi still said the same thing, and Lin Bai’s ears were callused from listening to it.
"Speaking of which, the three sects of Xuyun Sect used to be vassals of our Zhouhui Mountain. Now the world has changed, and the evil servants are bullying the master." The master of Yinshan Mountain is called Meng Shanhe. He has a big beard and is 1,800 years old. He was injured before, and it is unknown how long he can live.
After Jiang Xingchi accompanied him for a few words, Meng Shanhe did not talk about bridging the war, but only asked about the scenery of Qiaoshan, how many spiritual places there are in Qiaoshan, and asked about the temperament of the Yuanying.
After talking for a long time, not only did Jiang Xingchi understand, but Lin Bai also heard what Meng Lao Yuanying meant: he did not intend to eliminate the war, but wanted to go to Qiaoshan...
Jiang Xingchi naturally could not make this decision, and the other party did not say it clearly, so the conversation continued.
"Brother, it's really hard for you to travel far away soon after you gave birth to a baby." Seeing that Jiang Xingchi was very talkative, the old Yuanying Meng Shanhe pulled Jiang Xingchi along when he was happy, "I'll show you a baby. If you like it, I'll give it to you." Take it, it will be beneficial to your practice. Hey, after my family becomes a god, it cannot be compared to other places!"
As the two Nascent Souls entered, a disciple came to greet Lin Bai and Cheng Yuanli.
Lin Bai was familiar with it, and after chatting for a few words, he asked about Bi Huanqiu's whereabouts.
"Are you looking for Junior Sister Bi from Jiuzhe Mountain? I'm Meng Yiwei." After asking, someone actually knew. A middle-aged female cultivator stepped forward and looked at Lin Bai, as if she was talking about your relationship.
Lin Bai bowed, addressed himself as senior sister, and then simply explained that he had been to Jiuzhe Mountain before.
The female cultivator Meng Yiwei did not hide anything and said bluntly: "Junior Sister Bi came here a year ago, and then went north again, saying she wanted to pay a visit to Shouting Pavilion. More than a month ago, Junior Sister Bi returned with the merchant ship of Shouting Pavilion, Then we went to Changshengfang, which was the place I arranged.”
Lin Bai asked more carefully and learned that Changshengfang is located in a small city thousands of miles west of Yinbi Mountain. There are two Jindan Sects nearby, which are forces belonging to Yinbi Mountain.
After getting the confidence, Lin Bai planned to take a look.
After waiting for a day, Jiang Xingchi and Meng Shanhe finally finished talking, and Lin Bai went to see them.
After talking about looking for friends, Jiang Xingchi didn't stop him. He only said that he would be back within a month.
Lin Bai originally wanted to go alone, but Meng Yiwei insisted on going with him because of the landlord's friendship.
It's good to have someone to lead the way. Heading west, you encounter three foundation-building sects and a Jindan family, and then arrive at Changshengfang.
Fangshi is much smaller than Xinyi Fang. When the monk guarding the gate saw Meng Yiwei coming, he quickly saluted respectfully.
Meng Yiwei asked a few questions and then took Lin Bai into Changshengfang.
After finding a pill shop, the two of them went in, chatted with the worshiper, and came to a room on the second floor.
After knocking on the door, it took a while for someone to open the door.
It's the end of autumn.
"Senior Sister Meng, you..." Bi Huanqiu's appearance remained the same as before, but it was a bit changed. When she saw Lin Bai, there was surprise on her face, which then turned into a smile.
"I've brought you here, let's just catch up on old times." Meng Yiwei was very considerate and left immediately.
Bi Huanqiu politely spared a few words and then went out to see her off. After finishing her pretense, she grabbed Lin Bai and said, "Stop talking and go to my cave!"
Lin Bai obeyed obediently, and the two of them came to the northwest of Fang City, where there was a cave rental and it was also the property of Yinbi Mountain.
After entering the cave, Bi Huanqiu closed the door and began to take off his clothes.
"..." Lin Bai was confused, wondering, are we already so familiar with each other?
