Lonely Immortal

Chapter 44 Wuping Treasure House

Then the question is, what reason does Zhang Zhiwen have to do this? Not to mention that he can't compete with the Bai family and the Feng family at all now, even if he can, why does he take this risk?

He can just go out every night to steal something, or even go to Kyoto to steal something, wouldn't that be more free and easy?

As long as he grows two more lonely fairy fruits, he can completely break through to the third level of Qi Refining. At that time, he doesn't have to worry about the Bai family and the Feng family, so why should he fight to the death with the Bai family and the Feng family?

"Young Master, there is something, I wonder if you know?"

Qiu Qianxun saw Zhang Zhiwen silent, he couldn't help but test it.

"What is it?" Zhang Zhiwen glanced at Qiu Qianxun lightly and asked casually.

"Young Master, it's like this. You see, the thief is rampant now, and it must be very difficult for us to collect treasures. Isn't this delaying the young master's important matter?" Qiu Qianxun brought the topic back. While he was talking, he checked Zhang Zhiwen's reaction, and he looked very cautious.

"Go on..." Zhang Zhiwen was not in a hurry. He wanted to hear what Qiu Qianxun had to say.

Qiu Qianxun saw that Zhang Zhiwen had no intention of blaming him, so he continued: "Young Master, in fact, I know that there is a treasure, which must be what the young master wants to get."

Qiu Qianxun's words were almost incoherent. He suddenly said this sentence without a beginning or an end. He was obviously trying to test Zhang Zhiwen's reaction again. This old fox was very careful in what he said and did.

Zhang Zhiwen glanced at him, but did not say anything. Anyway, he was not in a hurry.

Sure enough, seeing Zhang Zhiwen's calm and composed look, Qiu Qianxun couldn't stand it anymore.

He quickly said, "It's like this. I wonder if the young master knows about the Wuping Treasure House?"

"Wuping Treasure House?"

Zhang Zhiwen was a little surprised. He really didn't know about this.

Seeing Zhang Zhiwen's reaction, Qiu Qianxun couldn't help but feel a little proud. He continued, "Yes, the Wuping Treasure House was something the master mentioned to his subordinates back then. Although so many years have passed, I dare not forget it at any time."

This is a bit interesting. The head of the Zhao family told Qiu Qianxun these things back then, but he didn't tell his son? Of course, Zhang Zhiwen was just pretending to be his son, so he naturally didn't know about this, but in Qiu Qianxun's view, doesn't this mean that the master values ​​him very much?

However, he knew that it was time to restrain himself and not be too presumptuous in front of Zhang Zhiwen. He hurriedly continued, "It is normal that the young master does not know about this matter. After all, the young master was still young at the time, and the master disappeared early. However, this matter is very important. I must report it to the young master no matter what."

Afterwards, Qiu Qianxun began to talk about the Wuping treasure house. Zhang Zhiwen then realized that there was such a thing.

As early as a hundred years ago, the scattered cultivator families had occupied various states in Yuanguo, and Wuping State was no exception. This was also recorded in the "Bai Family Genealogy". Zhang Zhiwen also knew this, but what Zhang Zhiwen did not know was that Wuping State had always been controlled by the Zhao family, and the Wuping Salt Gang was the Zhao family's spokesperson, responsible for leading other gangs to collect various rare treasures.

But later, due to the internal fighting among the independent cultivators, the independent cultivator families suffered heavy casualties and were unable to recover. The gang power gradually rose, and the Salt Gang could not control the situation. Until today, although the Salt Gang is still the largest gang, it can no longer completely control the Wuping Jianghu!

However, in these years, the Salt Gang still regards itself as a spokesperson and still collects some rare treasures. Although the gangs are reluctant, they also consider that if Zhao comes back again, they will not be able to explain. Therefore, they have to collect some rare treasures every year. These things are not difficult for the major gangs. It’s just that after Zhao lost contact, the major gangs are of course unwilling to hand over the rare treasures they have collected with great effort to the Salt Gang. Therefore, everyone has an agreement to build a Wuping treasure house. The key to the Wuping treasure house is in the hands of the gang leaders of the major gangs, and no one of them has the right to open it alone.

The Chamber of Commerce was unaware of this matter, because it was just an outside gang, said to be from Wenping Prefecture, and it came very suddenly that year, as if it appeared in Wuping overnight.

However, after these years of operation, the Chamber of Commerce gradually grew stronger, and even the power of the scattered cultivator families appeared behind it, with a vague posture of annexing Wuping.

At this time, Zhang Zhiwen finally understood it thoroughly. He really didn't expect that the scattered cultivators' territory was so complicated, and the major scattered cultivators' forces were intertwined, and the Zhao family was actually the local snake in Wuping back then. No wonder the Bai family and the Feng family were also cautious, because no one knew how deep the water was. Until recently, the Bai family and the Feng family joined forces, and they dared to show up and clean up the gang forces in Wuping.

But even so, the Bai family and the Feng family did not dare to jump out openly to threaten to unify the Wuping world. After all, there are tens of thousands of disciples in the major gangs in Wuping, and there are also many peerless masters who have been famous for decades. If they really resist, I am afraid that who will win is uncertain.

Therefore, the Bai and Feng families could only secretly clean up the forces of the major gangs. In this way, the major gangs obviously could not sit still. If they were cleaned up like this, they would be finished sooner or later.

But now Zhang Zhiwen appeared. As the leader of the largest gang in Wuping, Qiu Qianxun felt that the opportunity had come. As long as Zhang Zhiwen was willing to stand up and lead the major gangs in Wuping, coupled with Qiu Qianxun's influence, it would be enough to resist the invasion of the Chamber of Commerce.

But Zhang Zhiwen knew that Qiu Qianxun was overthinking. The Chamber of Commerce was backed by two independent cultivation families. It was simply wishful thinking to destroy the Chamber of Commerce and the Bai and Feng families behind it.

However, Zhang Zhiwen was still very interested in the Wuping Treasure House. If he got the treasure house, there were enough spiritual treasures in it, and then he would definitely be able to break through to the third level of Qi Refining in no time.

Seeing that Zhang Zhiwen seemed to be interested, Qiu Qianxun hurriedly said: "Young Master, if you are willing, then I will immediately summon all the major gangs to discuss the plan of suppressing the bandits together. What do you think, Young Master?"

Let's not talk about suppressing the bandits for the time being, but getting the treasure house can be considered. Zhang Zhiwen certainly did not object, so he nodded: "Then you can do it."

"Okay!"

Qiu Qianxun was overjoyed and he quickly agreed.

For so many years, he has been looking forward to Zhao's return every day. After all, the Salt Gang unified the Wuping world. How glorious was the Salt Gang at that time?

But now, although the Salt Gang is the largest gang, the major gangs do not submit to him. Since he took over as the gang leader, there have been some criticisms in the gang, because the old gang leader was the leader of the martial arts, and he was just the gang leader of the Salt Gang. This made the disciples of the Salt Gang a little disappointed, especially some elders, who were dissatisfied with Qiu Qianxun's incompetence and said that the Salt Gang would never recover from his defeat, which made Qiu Qianxun very unhappy.

In addition, his son, Qiu Qianxun, was not talented in martial arts and was a playboy, so he was criticized. He had almost no hope of succeeding the next gang leader. But now it was different. If Qiu Qianxun held on to Zhang Zhiwen's thigh and passed on some of the immortal skills to his son, then his son would surely be able to become the next gang leader. Who would dare to criticize him at that time?

Of course, Qiu Qianxun's goal is not just this, he even wants to be the overlord of the martial arts world of the entire Yuan Kingdom!

However, Qiu Qianxun did not show these things so clearly in front of Zhang Zhiwen, but how could Zhang Zhiwen not know? This old man mentioned his son many times, and he naturally knew it, but he didn't care about it at all. He just wanted the Wuping Treasure House.

So, the matter was settled. Ten days later, Qiu Qianxun would summon important figures from various gangs to meet at the Wuping No. 1 Restaurant Yue Mantian to discuss major matters.

The time and place were chosen with great care. One was that it was ten days later, which was enough time for the major gangs to prepare. They could decide whether to come or not. Another thing was that Qiu Qianxun did not ask everyone to come to the Salt Gang, which was also a reassurance for the major gangs. The gangs were friendly on the surface, but they were actually fighting secretly. No one wanted to fall into a trap designed by others. It was naturally best to meet at Wuping No. 1 Restaurant. Yue Mantian was opened by Bai Xiaosheng, a neutral force. The major gangs still trusted Bai Xiaosheng.

However, Zhang Zhiwen did not think that these gangs could be sincere, but he would see when the time came. If they did not come, he could just destroy them directly. He was still somewhat confident in dealing with one or two peerless masters.

As long as he gets the key and opens the Wuping treasure house, he will be able to choose from all kinds of rare treasures. When he cultivates two lonely immortal fruits, it will not be a problem to break through the third stage of Qi Refining. When he reaches the third stage of Qi Refining, he will not have to worry about the Bai and Feng families making trouble over there. He can even go to Kyoto to try his luck.

In this way, ten days passed in a flash. During these days, Wuping was still quiet. Except for some masters from several gangs being assassinated by the Bai and Feng families, nothing special happened.

At this moment, at Yue Mantian Restaurant, important figures from various gangs gathered, including the Cao Gang, Hong Gang, Qing Gang, etc. These important figures sat around a table, while other top masters of the gangs gathered at other tables. In addition, many guards have been arranged outside the restaurant. These guards are at least first-class masters. They surrounded the restaurant tightly as if they were facing a great enemy, and not even a fly could fly out.

Zhang Zhiwen did not sit at Qiu Qianxun's table, but sat in the corner, wearing a black mask. He told Qiu Qianxun that he would come out when the time was right. Qiu Qianxun naturally understood that the matter was of great importance and did not dare to act rashly, because whether the negotiation could be concluded this time was related to whether he could become the leader of Wuping's martial arts world!

At this time, seeing that almost everyone had arrived, Qiu Qianxun stood up and raised his glass: "Everyone, I invited you today, and I'm honored to drink first!"

Qiu Qianxun said, and was about to raise his glass and drink.

"Wait a minute!"

Suddenly, a burly man called Qiu Qianxun, and this man was Wei Lin, the leader of the Cao Gang!

Qiu Qianxun was slightly stunned, but soon, he looked at Wei Lin with a smile: "I don't know what the leader Wei is doing?"

"Humph, don't try to be so tricky. Wei didn't come here to drink and chat with you today. If you have anything to say, just say it directly, don't be mysterious!" Wei Lin didn't give Qiu Qianxun face when he came up.

That's true. Although the Salt Gang is the largest gang, Wei Lin ranks in the top three in terms of individual strength. He is almost invincible with the Heavenly Stele!

"Yes, if you have something to say, please speak up!"

"Mr. Qiu, we are not as old as you, and we still have the leisure to drink and chat here, and talk about love and romance."

"Hahaha, Chief Qiu, just say whatever you want to say. This period of time has been uneasy, and we are busy with work. Just tell us why you asked us to come here!"

Wei Lin's words attracted the approval of other gang leaders, especially the leaders of the Hong Gang and the Qing Gang. They were also among the top ten gangs, and their personal fighting power was not inferior to Qiu Qianxun. They couldn't help but shout at him.
