My brother is so cunning.

Two monks from Qingcheng Mountain followed Wen Rui as he flew. Seeing him crashing into the cliff of a towering mountain peak, the female monk couldn't help but exclaimed: "Fellow Taoist, be careful! Ahead..."

Before he finished speaking, Wen Rui had penetrated the rock wall and disappeared without a trace.

The two looked at each other, slowed down and flew towards the cliff, passing through the cliff like Wen Rui without hitting any entity at all.

After passing through the cliff, the view immediately broadened to a lush jungle below. The forest was cut down to clear a large open space, and many people wearing Taoist robes and robes gathered here.

The open space was crowded and bustling with people. Tents were set up in the open space, wooden houses and shacks were built, and a small camp was already established.

The two slowed down their flying speed and slowly landed in the open space.

"It turns out to be a phantom formation. I thought Master was too old and had a bad memory, so he drew the wrong map."

As soon as she landed, the female monk named Cheng Ziwei whispered to the people around her.

The male monk named Li Yu felt ashamed and said, "It's all my fault. I should have thought that we arrived so late. Someone must have set up an illusory formation to cover up people's eyes and ears. If we had used the illusion-breaking spell more carefully, we wouldn't have been delayed for a long time."

Cheng Ziwei stood on tiptoe and looked into the crowd, looking for the figure of the monk wearing gold and red armor. That outfit was conspicuous among the robes, and she found it immediately.

The female monk said: "The guys who set up illusory arrays to confuse people are really shady. Are they afraid that people will come to snatch their treasures? That friend Wen Dao from Jinling Sect is also an honest person. He did not guide us in the wrong direction and led us here directly. ”

Li Yu nodded: "If you think about it carefully, he already knew that the two of us were deceived by the illusory formation. He led us the way without revealing it. He treated others sincerely and took care of our faces. He is a considerate and considerate person. Quite a lot. It’s like a gentleman.”

"Senior brother, Master taught us two before we went out, saying that the water in the world of cultivation is very deep. We are just starting out and don't know how far the sky is from the sky. This time we came out to teach us a lesson."

Cheng Ziwei said in a low voice: "I think that friend Wen Dao has a good character and seems to be very experienced in the world of martial arts. If we make some friends and explore the secret realm together, with his guidance along the way, we can also suffer less losses and explore." Just give him as much as you can get.”

"This..." Li Yu muttered: "We don't know anything about him. It would be inappropriate to make friends rashly. Jin Ling Sect does not sound like a small sect. To know that a sect can be called a sect, the founder of the sect must be A direct disciple of the founder of the Three Religions."

"This time we go down the mountain, the opportunity to explore the secret realm is the second most important thing. It will be rewarding to make friends with fellow travelers and increase our knowledge."

Cheng Ziwei looked tender-faced, but she was the more assertive of the two. She analyzed: "Whether that friend who hears the Tao is willing to be with us or not, if he comes up to say a few words, it's not surprising that a sincere thank you will end up being polite to many people. If we talk, It’s an unexpected surprise that De Tochi is willing to teach us.”

Li Yu listened to her persuasion, and after thinking about it, it was indeed the case, so he walked towards Wenrui with her.

"Brother Wen Dao, the two of us entered the illusion formation just now under your guidance. I would like to express my solemn thanks to you."

The two stood in front of Wen Rui, speaking in unison and bowing their hands in unison.

"Oh?" Wen Rui quickly returned the courtesy and said, "You two fellow Taoists are very polite. I still have some trivial matters to explain to my subordinates. Please wait for a moment."

Only then did Li Yu realize that Wen Rui was standing in front of a row of recently built wooden houses, lecturing a group of businessmen wearing long gowns and octagonal melon skin hats.

Melon-skin hats and long gowns are the standard attire of merchants. This style of dressing has also been gradually formed after the establishment of the Chamber of Commerce more than 300 years ago. Nowadays, all people engaged in circulation and sales in the Western Zhou Dynasty will join the Chamber of Commerce as long as their business reaches a certain scale. Put on this outfit.

These merchants are all in the Qi Refining Stage to the Foundation Establishment Stage, and they are all below the "Golden Core Realm" that is the minimum standard for immortal cultivators to explore the secret realm. For some reason, they appear in the camp at the entrance to the secret realm.

Li Yu said quickly: "We are the ones who bothered you first. Please listen to Brother Dao and be busy first. We will just wait."

"Several shopkeepers, this is not the first time our Chamber of Commerce has done this kind of business like opening a market at the entrance to the secret realm. There is no need to repeat the nonsense. The most important thing about this kind of business is security. Spiritual stones are easy to make, but it is difficult to transport them back!"

Wen Rui said to the group of businessmen with a serious attitude: "This place is a mixed bag of good and bad, and there are many young people. Don't look at how sanctimonious they are now. If you leave this place, you will all be gangsters. Your various anti-theft and anti-robbery measures have been arranged. ”

"Don't worry, Mr. Wen, everything has been arranged!" the businessmen replied in unison.

Li Yu and Cheng Ziwei couldn't help but look at each other when they heard Rui's instructions. They both saw a look of confusion in each other's eyes.

Li Yu leaned close to his junior sister's ear and lowered his voice: "What is this Brother Wen Dao here for? Isn't he a disciple of the Immortal Cultivation Sect? Why is he so close to the businessmen?"

Cheng Ziwei frowned and replied in a low voice: "Looking at this situation, he is still the leader of the merchants. It's just that he is lecturing so loudly, which means he is criticizing. Aren't you afraid of causing trouble?"

As if to confirm what the female monk said, a male monk with sinister eyes immediately stood up and shouted: "That guy in armor, what are you talking nonsense about? Those gathered here are all righteous Qi practitioners from famous sects, a bunch of ants Do you dare to criticize and slander the Taoist Master because your life is too long?"

The male monk who spoke was a high-level Jindan. His shout was full of energy and attracted the attention of many people. Many monks also heard the implication of Wen Rui criticizing Sang Huai, and immediately cast unkind looks at him, and the crowd gathered around him.

Wen Rui didn't even look back. He waved to a fat man at the head of the merchant queue. The fat man came out and said:

"Since the establishment of the Chamber of Commerce, we have circulated goods all over the world and served three religions and nine streams. How much trouble has our existence saved for all the morally accomplished immortals who devote themselves to meditation?"

"All the major sects in the world can take care of all the food, clothing, chores, cleaning and construction. We only need to spend a few spiritual stones to take care of it. You immortals, your fingers will not touch the spring water, and your jade shoes will not step on the dust of troubles." , but you can get the most luxurious and comfortable offerings. Without me, your comfort level in practice would be greatly reduced."

The monks looked at each other after hearing this, and the discussion started gradually. They agreed with this statement, but they didn't know what the fat businessman wanted to express.

"The fundamental purpose of opening a market in the secret realm camp is to serve you all and relieve your worries when exploring the secret realm. I believe that the immortals who have explored the secret realm before have also experienced the convenience provided by the Chamber of Commerce and Market, and we hope that it can continue for a long time. Will you continue to enjoy this convenience?”

Many of the gathered monks nodded, while whispering to the side to explain their doubts to fellow disciples who were participating in the exploration of the secret realm for the first time.

"However, there is a group of young people who have set their sights on the reasonable profits earned by our Chamber of Commerce. For their own selfish purposes, they either cause trouble in person to collect protection fees, or rob us while masked. What is the result of their doing this?"

Having said this, the fat businessman paused and gave everyone present time to think before continuing:

"The Chamber of Commerce has no choice but to reluctantly give up this business and will no longer provide services for the secret camp in the future. It doesn't matter if we earn less spiritual stones, but you will have to suffer from others and will no longer be able to benefit from convenient services."

After saying this, the crowd started talking loudly.

"Yes, I have visited the secret realm three times. The Chamber of Commerce provides treasure and elixir identification, spiritual stone exchange, sales of various detoxification and treatment potions, repair of damaged magic weapons, weapons, armor, sale of spiritual talismans, formation materials, etc. Service, without Fangshi, I wouldn’t know how to prepare for entering the secret realm.”

"Fangshi also sells flying swords and Taoist robes of the magic weapon level. The quality is not high, but the quality is high and the price is low. If you accidentally damage the flying sword in the secret realm and cannot repair it, you can go out and buy a temporary replacement. ”

"Yes, Baiweilou and Wuyinfang in Fangshi are also good places to get rid of fatigue and boost your spirits."

"It would be really sad to think about it without Fangshi."

"It is indeed too inconvenient. To explore the secret realm, you need to form a logistics support team, but who is willing to work hard to make wedding clothes for others? Wouldn't it be better to go to the secret realm to explore treasures together?"

"In recent years, the Chamber of Commerce has provided superior services to various major sects, which is much better than raising a group of handyman disciples who are as stupid as pigs. Some sects have abolished the handyman disciple system. Even if they want to form a logistics team, they cannot gather enough people. Smart handyman."

…

Seeing that the fire was almost done, the fat businessman looked at the monk with sinister eyes and said: "Isn't this the Zhao Xian of the Dingguang Immortal Sect? Your sect has been blacklisted by the Chamber of Commerce and has been subject to comprehensive economic sanctions. He can't compete with us. As for any business, I’m not afraid of disrupting the business of Fangshi, but don’t drag others into trouble, at least ask the immortals present if they agree!”

"Who am I talking about? Mr. Rabbit from the Dingguang Immortal Sect. Only these remnants of the Jiejiao Cult can do such disgusting things that harm others and do not benefit oneself!"

"Be careful, their ancestors have joined the Western religion. If you call them a Jie Jiao, they will fall out."

"Falling out? I am the direct disciple of Jinting Xianzong Yuwudong, and my sect's ancestor is Tao Xing Tianzun. I would like to see how these rabbits fall out?"

"Since you have joined the Western religion, you are not in the same league as our Taoist sect, yet you are still here making trouble and ruining our affairs. Who allowed them to come to the Dingguang Sect to explore the secret realm?"

"How could Hao Duanduan be blacklisted by the Chamber of Commerce? Disciples of the Dingguang Sect have always had a bad reputation. They must have committed crimes against the Chamber of Commerce. They robbed the Chamber of Commerce's fleet and were found out. That's why they came here and shouted "Catch the thief."

…

The sinister monk saw that he had offended the public and knew that the Dingguang Immortal Sect was notorious in the world of immortality. He squeezed into the crowd in dejection. In the process, he was hit on the shoulder several times by several monks who could not see him. He staggered in his steps. Very embarrassed.

Wen Rui looked coldly at the man's disappearing back, his eyes flickering, his expression uncertain, wondering what he was planning.
