The Great Wild God - Chapter 108
Chapter 108 The Wind and Clouds Gradually Rose
At this moment, Su Lingyin was a guest in the City Lord’s Mansion, so Chen Xun didn’t dare to rush over. After bidding farewell to Zuoqiu, he and Zong Ya went to the Immortal Seeking House to settle down.
Zhao Tu was just a mortal. Even if he had a shrewd mind, it was still far from enough to stand firm in Dongcheng. Chen Xun had to concentrate on his cultivation. He planned to travel far this time. He could leave for two to three years, and he couldn’t manage the affairs of the Immortal Seeking Palace.
At this time, the Immortal Seeking Temple was actually managed by Nan Liao and Zhao Tu. In addition, there were more than a dozen elite Black Python martial artists stationed here. This was where the Black Python had settled in Dongcheng.
The Immortal Seeking Temple was also the architectural layout of the front shop and back shop. The three shops looked inconspicuous, and Chen Xun and Zong Ya lifted the curtain and walked in.
Chen Xun left everything to Zhao Tu. Seeing that the shopkeeper was only around thirty years old, he could not recognize his face, nor could he see Zhao Tu’s figure. He turned around and looked at the shop.
There was no match for his strength. In the shop, he mainly sold medicinal herbs, beast tendons, skins, bones, and other materials for refining talismans and pills. He also sold low-level profound talismans and spirit pills. Apart from that, he only had one or two broken talismans to decorate his face.
Not to mention Huayang Square in Azure Water City, even in Northern Mountain City, the Immortal Seeking House was an extremely dilapidated and inconspicuous shop.
The vast majority of the rogue cultivators who flooded into the Northern Mountain and Lake Wilderness to fight for wealth were at the True Yang Realm.
They couldn’t afford to consume too high-grade medicinal pills and talismans.
True Yang Realm rogue cultivators were extremely bitter, not many of them were generous.
Apart from some low-level profound talismans and spirit pills, they were more willing to personally refine some common spirit pills and draw some common profound talismans.
Some rare medicinal herbs and talisman-making materials were even more popular in Northern Mountain City.
At this point, Zhao Tu was still able to grasp the thoughts of a True Yang Rogue Cultivator and kept the shop in good order.
Not only did Chen Xun sell eleven or twelve low-level profound talismans a day from the shop, there were also a large number of medicinal herbs and talisman forging items from the black python’s side that were sold from the shop.
When Chen Xun and Zong Ya entered the shop, two or three loose cultivators gathered in front of the long table medicine cabinet and bargained with the shopkeeper.
‘”The Diamond Talisman is in Canglan. It only costs six or seven talismans. You’re doubling your price. Isn’t that too dark-hearted? Also, I’m a Black Diamond Stone. Fang Canglan said that you can exchange for another Diamond Talisman. Why did you lower the price by half? Open the door and do business. You have to be conscientious.”
‘”I really have no choice. Our shop is small and the Talisman Master is hired from Azure Water City at a high price. Sir, you said we offered the same price, but the Talisman Master is still willing to come from Azure Water City to this bitter and cold place? No matter how low the price is, we won’t be able to survive …”
“These stone ginseng and beard are broken like this. Why are you still bidding for two talismans? Isn’t your heart too dark?”
The shopkeeper smiled as he looked at the 30-year-old man and apologized to the picky customer. “These ginseng stones were all sent to the store by someone else. The younger one couldn’t make the decision. I’m sorry, I’m sorry …” But when it came to the price, he didn’t budge a single step.
Chen Xun thought to himself that Zhao Tu would pick someone to take charge. This shopkeeper was the same as Zhao Tu. He didn’t have much cultivation, but he was extremely smooth in his life.
Two loose cultivators continued to pick out things, and the most picky loose cultivator threw away his things and turned around to walk out of the shop.
One of them, before stepping out of the threshold, spat out a mouthful of thick phlegm on the nanmu door plank of the shop and mocked, “What rubbish is it? You’re still selling it as a treasure? Are you crazy about robbing money?”
Chen Xun’s expression did not change.
Zong Ya’s temper was straightforward, how could he allow others to come to his door and slap him in the face so naked? He removed the black sheath blade from his waist and stepped forward. Even the blade and sheath pressed down on the man’s shoulder. With a gloomy face, he shouted, “Wipe it off!”
Hearing Chen Xun’s suggestion, Zong Ya did not rush to breakthrough in the past two years. He cultivated the Origin Subduing Technique and focused on tempering his muscles, bones, skin, and flesh.
Although Zong Ya bit off the giant wolf with his left arm, his right arm had a strength of 5,000 to 6,000 jin, and even his saber and scabbard pressed down on the rogue cultivator’s shoulder.
“What are you guys doing? Do you want to make a move?”
Rogue cultivators who dared to enter the Lake Wasteland to fight for wealth were not good people. Seeing that Zong Ya had broken one of his arms and still dared to attack first, the several Rogue Cultivators who had already walked out of the gate immediately pulled out their blades and were about to rush forward.
The shopkeeper hurriedly ran over and grabbed Zong Ya’s hand. He was afraid that he would lose his temper. He couldn’t restrain himself for a moment and started fighting in the shop. He pleaded, “Young Master Zong Ya, don’t treat your anger with the guests. The guests didn’t mean it. I’ll wipe it off, I’ll wipe it off …”
The shopkeeper didn’t recognize Chen Xun, but regardless of whether the shop was smashed or what kind of injury Zong Ya suffered, he couldn’t bear the responsibility. With a thin figure, he squeezed between Zong Ya and the group of loose cultivators and used his sleeve to wipe the thick phlegm on the nanmu door.
“Zong Ya, forget about it. Harmony generates wealth!” Chen Xun also knew that the shopkeeper’s treatment was the right one. No matter what, he couldn’t make a move in his own shop. He advised Zong Ya not to be impulsive.
Zong Ya’s mouth was clumsy and he didn’t know how to argue with others, but he obeyed Chen Xun. With a dark face, he let go of that person and let him go.
“Why aren’t you being arrogant? Grandpa said that you run a black shop. Are you still wrongly accused?” That rogue cultivator had no intention of settling things peacefully. He ran back to his accomplices and started cursing.
“Young Master, why did you come to the city today?” Zhao Tu listened to the commotion in the shop and ran out of the inner courtyard to see what was going on. Seeing Chen Xun and Zong Ya in the shop, he hurriedly ran over.
“Come and take a look,” Chen Xun said. “Close the shop first.”
The group of rogue cultivators were still cursing in front of the shop and refused to disperse.
Zhao Tu hurriedly greeted the other two loose cultivators in the shop, saying that the owner had come over to check the tents and that the shop had to close early.
As soon as the two loose cultivators left, Zhao Tu immediately had the clerk close the shop door and explained awkwardly to Chen Xun,
“I don’t know why, but there are quite a few rogue cultivators who have been eating the wrong medicine these past two days. When Master Nan Liao left the day before yesterday, he specifically instructed that unless he broke his arm and broke his leg, the guards of the courtyard are not allowed to come out …”
Chen Xun turned a deaf ear to the curses outside the shop and nodded in affirmation of Zhao Tu’s actions.
It wasn’t that he happened to bump into it today, but that it had been abnormal these past few days.
Regardless of whether or not the Gui Xi Tribe was behind this, since it wasn’t targeting the Xunxian Temple, there was no need for the Xunxian Temple to throw him out as a path-finding stone.
***************************
Walking to the inner courtyard, Chen Xun and Zong Ya sat down.
Zhao Tu told Chen Xun about the operation of the Immortal Seeking Palace and the movements of the nine races.
“The Zuo Clan’s Clan Leader is an ambitious person. Apart from roping in the hearts of the nine clans as usual, he is also much more flexible towards the other Northern Mountain Tribes …”
Chen Xun sat cross-legged. Whether Zuo Chonggu had ambitions or ambitions, it was good for him and the black python at the moment.
In this current situation, without such an ambitious person as Zuo Chonggu gathering the forces of the races, the races of the Northern Mountain would probably give Ghost Faction and other powerful races and hundreds of rogue cultivators nothing left to eat.
In the past few days, even if the Ghost Xi Tribe were to act behind the scenes, only Zuo Chonggu would be able to resolve this matter.
Whether Zuo Chonggu’s ambition was too great was something that Su Qingfeng had to consider, so Chen Xun wouldn’t have a headache over it.
Although he and Daoist Greenwood weren’t apprentices, they were better than apprentices. With his relationship with Daoist Greenwood, Zuoqiu and Qianlan, he should support the Left Thorn Tribe to continue to grow. Zuo Chonggu’s ambition had nothing to do with his interests.
“By the way, Elder Su Lingyin is currently in Northern Mountain City. Did you hear anything?” Chen Xun asked Zhao Tu.
If anything happened, Zhao Tu had been guarding the Northern Mountain City, and he was much better informed than the stronghold.
“I haven’t heard of it yet.” Zhao Tu was also stunned. He didn’t expect Su Lingyin to be in Northern Mountain City.
In the Su Clan, those who advanced to the late stage of the Reincarnation Realm would automatically be promoted to Elder of the Academy if they did not hold important positions in the various prefectures.
The Azure Water College had only ten or so elders. In terms of actual power, the Xue Palace Elders might not be as powerful as the Prefecture Heads, but they were on equal footing with the Prefecture Heads in terms of status.
Apart from cultivating, they were also the purple-clothed disciples in charge of teaching the inner court.
Zhao Tu thought to himself, “Why would such a person come to Northern Mountain City as a guest?”
In the past few days, loose cultivators in Northern Mountain City had often jumped out to cause trouble. If the Gui Xi Tribe were to cause trouble behind the scenes, it would naturally be very strange.
The Gui Xi Tribe, who was closely related to Fourth Master Su Quan and had the support of Grand Elder Qing Yangzi of the Learning Academy behind them, should know that Su Lingyin was in the Northern Mountain City and was still intentionally messing up the water. What was her intention?
Chen Xun wasn’t afraid of anything else, so he suspected that Great Lonely Peak’s secret had been leaked.
In the past two years, there were more than a thousand rogue cultivators pouring into the lake wasteland. In the north of the Xi Ridge, I heard that Mystical Frost Sect wasn’t completely silent.
This also meant that normally, there were few people. As a desolate beast paradise, the Lake Wilderness had attracted nearly two thousand rogue cultivators over the past two years.
Although the Great Lonely Peak was located in the deepest part of the lake wasteland, the terrain of the Great Lonely Peak was too abrupt. The four fields were thousands of kilometers flat, and only the Great Lonely Peak was abruptly raised by four to five kilometers. It was difficult to not attract attention.
To tell the truth, Chen Xun didn’t find it strange that someone had already broken into the Great Lonely Peak and discovered the secrets of the Lonely Cliff Stone Pillar in the valley.
Chen Xun wouldn’t be surprised if Su Lingyin came for the Lonely Cliff Stone Pillar this time.
However, apart from the divine wolf and the tens of thousands of green wolves gathered in the dense forest around Dagu Peak, the fierce beasts hidden within the Lonely Cliff Stone Pillar were the real threat.
Chen Xun didn’t think that Su Lingyin would have a chance of winning if she broke into the Great Lonely Peak alone.
Qing Yangzi, a Su Clan Patriarch level 1 figure, personally stepped forward, perhaps only then would he have the hope of breaking through the mystery of the Lonely Cliff Stone Pillar.
Chen Xun wasn’t worried that Su Lingyin would be able to break through the Lonely Cliff Stone Pillar and take out the python diagram that might be hidden within it. He was even more worried that Su Lingyin would disappear before the halberd Lonely Cliff Stone Pillar.
Once Su Lingyin accidentally died, this pair of Northern Mountain’s nine races and Qianlan would lose their lives.
