The two of them couldn't reach within a stone's throw, so Jiang Yuhuan spoke again: "Why should I have some credit for getting that Magic Bell Flower? How about even if the merit and demerit are equal?"

Nangong Feiyue had a sullen face and said nothing.

The two of them walked past a shop, when Yin Qingyuan came out. Seeing the two of them walking side by side, he smiled slightly and greeted them: "Junior brother Jiang, fellow Taoist Nangong, you are also out to visit the shop."

Nangong Feiyue smiled at him and walked into the shop.

Jiang Yuhuan stayed where he was and did not follow up.

Yin Qingyuan smiled and said: "Junior brother Jiang, it's not me who disturbed you! Look at fellow Taoist Nangong, he doesn't seem very happy. Why did you provoke her?"

Jiang Yuhuan smiled helplessly and said: "Only women and boys are difficult to raise. I finally understand this."

Yin Qingyuan said: "What's wrong with you? Junior Brother Jiang, you have to seize the opportunity!"

"It's just a small misunderstanding. It's not a big deal." Jiang Yuhuan said, and the two of them walked away side by side.

In the shop, Nangong Feiyue saw the two people walking away, feeling slightly relieved but also a little angry.

The apology with a playful smile was not sincere at all. When she thought of that day, her heart was filled with confusion, joy and anger.

Tang Ning visited dozens of shops until the sky turned slightly white before returning to Yaxing Inn.

In the room, Yin Qingyuan had already returned and was sitting cross-legged, closing his eyes and practicing Qi.

Seeing him coming back so late, Yin Qingyuan opened his eyes and asked, "Junior brother Tang, what took you so long? What's the gain?"

Tang Ning said: "It's just a casual look. I can't say what I gained. I have gained some knowledge! I didn't expect that there are so many types of spiritual weapons in the world, and their functions cover almost all aspects. We are trapped in Xingang, and we are really looking at the sky from the bottom of a well."

Yin Qingyuan said: "My knowledge has greatly increased this time! This Kongming Island is not even a big island in Qinghai. The various objects dotted in its chamber of commerce make me a little dazzled. If it were inland of Qingzhou, it would be

I don’t know what a grand occasion it is. I must go and see it if I have the chance.”

"Senior Brother Jiang, didn't you go to the store to have a look?"

Yin Qingyuan said with a smile: "Junior brother Jiang was accompanying fellow Taoist Nangong to visit the market! But I was disturbed."

Tang Ning said, "Oh? That's true. It seems like I have to congratulate Senior Brother Jiang for getting this beauty back in his arms."

Jiang Yuhuan smiled slightly and said, "It's not what you think. Fellow Taoist Nangong and I just met by chance. I had some misunderstandings with her before, and I wanted to clarify them, so we walked together for a while."

The three of them talked for a while. Around 10 o'clock in the morning, there was a knock on the door outside. Pan Chengyuan came in and said, "Uncle Peng passed the order and set off."

The three people left the house and left the castle together with the other disciples. The Aurora Boat took everyone into the sky and headed to the southeast.

Everyone was sitting cross-legged on the Dharma boat, and Yin Qingyuan asked: "Uncle Master, have you gained anything from this trip? Have you reached an agreement with them?"

Peng Wanli replied: "We are here to do business, don't be so anxious. As the saying goes, when you shop around, you have to look more and compare to know the pros and cons."

"Where is our next stop? Huangyi Island?"

Peng Wanli nodded.

Tang Ning asked: "Are there no other forces occupying the entire Kongming Island except the Yaxing Chamber of Commerce? Why not ask other sects or chambers of commerce?"

Peng Wanli said: "There is no Xuanmen sect stationed on Kongming Island. There are only Yaxing Chamber of Commerce and Tianquan Chamber of Commerce and some powerful cultivating families. Tianquan Chamber of Commerce is not responsible for the breeding and sale of spiritual animals, and those cultivating families themselves rely on

The two major chambers of commerce will survive, so they have no choice."

The Aurora Boat traveled for more than ten days, and the land under our feet gradually disappeared, and a blue sea in the distance appeared in our field of vision. After traveling for several more days, we finally sailed out of Kongming Island, with endless blue sea and blue sky as far as the eye can see.

……………………

Xingang, Wu State, an uninhabited wilderness, a pavilion by the lake.

Two men were sitting opposite each other, playing a game of chess.

He has kind eyebrows and a kind face, and his beard and hair are all white.

One person has eagle eyes, thin lips, and sinister eyes.

The two of them were Wu Zhengping, the headmaster of the Blood Bone Sect, and Mo Daode, the headmaster of the Crescent Moon Sect.

Tens of feet away from the pavilion, several men were guarding with lowered hands.

In the distance, rays of light shot out and landed in front of the pavilion, revealing the figure of a short, fat man with a fat head and big ears. He was Zheng Jiehuai, the headmaster of the Youmei Sect.

"You two Taoist friends have been waiting for a long time." Zheng Jiehai sat down next to the two of them and said.

Wu Zhengping nodded slightly at him, and ignored him as if he had not seen him. He held the white chess piece in his hand and looked down at the chess game, frowning and thinking in silence. After a long time, Fang landed on the chessboard.

After a game of chess, Mo Daode was defeated by a whisker. He took out a storage bag and handed it to Wu Zhengping.

"Concession." Wu Zhengping took the storage bag and said with a slight smile: "This time I invited two Taoist friends to come here all the way. I want to discuss our next step with you. I got the news that Xuanmen has sent

The team went to the islands in order to get a share of our spiritual animal breeding industry. What do you two think of this matter?"

Zheng Jiehuai said: "I also heard the news and was just about to talk to two fellow Taoists. It's okay if Xuanmen just wants to develop spiritual beast breeding. I'm afraid their purpose is not pure, not just for their own development. I'm worried.

They will sabotage it secretly and try to drain us out of the fire."

"If they can give up more benefits and persuade the chambers of commerce that provide us with spirit beast cubs to provide them with spirit beast cubs from now on, then we will be kicked out. This section has to be

Defend."

Wu Zhengping said: "It is precisely because of this that I invited the two Taoist brothers here. Although we have established a foothold in Xingang, it may not look like this to the outside world. In their eyes, we are still hiding in deep ravines and lurking in the dark.

If you shrink your head, you may be defeated by Xuanmen one day."

"In this case, if Xuanmen goes to negotiate with them and offers more benefits, they might kick us away. Those monks from the Chamber of Commerce have always been unkind and only seek profit. Regardless of Xuanmen's reputation,

, its prestige in the outside world is beyond our comparison.”

Mo Daode said: "If that's the case, it's just a fight to the death with them. We'll have a hard time with each other. As soon as we get better, they want to pick peaches. How can there be such truth in the world?"

Zheng Jiehuai said: "We can no longer hesitate about this matter. We should take countermeasures immediately. Otherwise, once Xuanmen reaches an agreement with the merchants, we will be in a very passive situation."

Wu Zhengping asked: "Do you have any good ideas, fellow Daoist Zheng?"

Zheng Jiehuai said: "This matter should be taken in three steps. The first step is to send people to contact those chambers of commerce to stabilize them. Describe the pros and cons. As long as the chamber of commerce does not agree, there is nothing Xuanmen can do. This is the best policy.

"

"Of course, we can't completely count on those in the Chamber of Commerce. We must be fully prepared."

"The second step is to send people to negotiate with the people of Xuanmen and make our attitude clear. If Xuanmen tries to manipulate this matter, we will not hesitate to fight. With the strength of our three sects, Xuanmen

We are only five or five years old, so I don’t think they will really fight us to the death for these interests.”

"The third step is to focus on war. Fight first and then talk. Only when we beat them painfully can we negotiate for peace. Only then can our threats be effective."

Wu Zhengping and Mo Daode both nodded slightly.

Wu Zhengping said: "What Fellow Daoist Zheng said is exactly what I said. On top of that, I have another suggestion. I want my two fellow Daoists to help me capture the Qingyang Sect's camp first and occupy their teleportation array as a bargaining chip to force them to negotiate."

"If they don't allow it, we will destroy this formation. The other end of the formation is occupied by the Canhua Sect, and we can't use it anyway. For us, occupying this formation will neither provoke Xuanmen to fight, nor show any With enough strength, it can also be used as a bargaining chip in exchange, so it can be said that it kills three birds with one stone."

Mo Daode frowned and said, "Would this make the Canhua Sect unhappy? If they send someone over there, it will be difficult for us to resist."

Wu Zhengping said: "We are killing the disciples of the Yang Sect. What does it have to do with the Canhua Sect? The teleportation array is just a bargaining chip in negotiations. We don't really want to destroy it."

Zheng Jiehuai said: "What Wu Daoyou said is reasonable. Occupying the teleportation array is indeed a good bargaining chip, but there are also powerful enemies within our jurisdiction. If we can't attack for a while, I'm afraid that the two sects of Shuiyun will attack our mountain gate. We We finally have a base and have been operating it for so long. If the mountain gate is breached, the losses will be too great. This matter needs to be dealt with slowly."

Wu Zhengping said: "You don't need to worry about this. I have a high-level insider hiding inside the Qingyang Sect. He can help us open the defense formation of the Qingyang Sect's camp."

Zheng Jiehuai and Mo Daode looked at each other, both a little surprised. It should be known that the Qingyang Sect camp was guarded by the Master of Qingxuan Palace and the Master of Jie Miyuan. Wu Zhengping's arrangement was actually able to obtain the array disk from them. Opening the formation, one can imagine that this person has great magical powers and must be the most elite disciple within the Qingyang Sect.

Mo Daode asked: "Is the person Wu Daoyou mentioned is the person who opened the Xuanyue Mountain Spirit Mine Formation for us back then?"

Wu Zhengping nodded slightly: "Yes, it is this person."

Zheng Jiehuai asked doubtfully: "With Shen Wenze and Zhao Gong guarding him, can he do it?"

Wu Zhengping said: "This man has great supernatural powers and has been hiding in Qingyang Sect for many years. To be honest, although I have been in contact with him, I still don't know his specific identity. I only know that he is a disciple of Qingyang Sect. , there is almost nothing that he cannot handle within the Qingyang Sect."

Zheng Jiehuai said in surprise: "It's really incredible that Qingyang Sect still hides such a number one person and has such ability."

Wu Zhengping said: "I have secretly followed him several times, trying to find out his identity, but he always got away from me. This person acts mysteriously and has a strange origin. Qingyang Sect's internal investigations over the years have not found him out. You two. Fellow Taoist, you only need to wait for my news, and when the time comes, you can attack the Qingyang Sect camp in one fell swoop."

Mo Daode said: "Since Wu Daoyou can solve the defense problem of the large formation, we are naturally willing to help you."
