I Am Evergreen In the World of Cultivating Immortals

Chapter 223 Deceiving the Spirit Deed

This trade fair is more like a place for communication.

For example, Prince Wang has an astonishing background and power, and he has access to resources. Merchants in Jing Kingdom are vying to make friends with him.

"Fellow Daoist Wu! Fang just heard that Young Master Wang is planning to recruit two guard servants, and monks from the Liang Kingdom will be given priority, so that when they arrive in the Jing Kingdom, there will be someone who can be sent."

The purple-faced strong man's tone is slightly excited.

"Oh? If that's the case, Fellow Daoist Fang can give it a try."

Lu Changan followed the words.

The purple-faced brawny man is a relatively small number of monks in the late stage of foundation establishment among the monks of Liang Kingdom on board.

To apply for a guard servant, the cultivation base has certain advantages.

If he can climb up to such a dignitary, he can safely arrive in Jing country, and he may have a chance to take advantage of the situation in the future.

"Won't Fellow Daoist Wu try?"

"My strength is mediocre, my personality is dull, and I'm afraid I won't be able to serve you well."

Lu Changan shook his head.

He is not interested in various contracts that restrict freedom.

During the trade fair, some Liang Guo monks signed contracts of sale with the Jing Guo Chamber of Commerce.

Although being exploited by Jing State Chamber of Commerce and selling cheap coolies, it is better than dying in Liang State, or being forced to go to the battlefield of cultivating immortals.

For example, a strong man with a purple face, as a deserter on the battlefield, is wanted by the sect, and he will undoubtedly die if he stays in the Liang country.

Lu Changan guessed that these chambers of commerce signed a contract with a quota limit, and they had to pay a certain price to the Jiuchen chamber of commerce.

Therefore, when they sign the contract, they will try to maximize their interests.

At the trade fair, Lu Changan noticed Miss Wei's actions.

Miss Wei successively negotiated with several foundation-builder monks who were very skilled.

These foundation-building cultivators meet the requirements of the "worship" mentioned by the New Moon Chamber of Commerce just now, and have second-level middle-to-high-grade skills.

For such skilled talents, the contract conditions given by the major chambers of commerce should be looser.

This woman's actions made Lu Changan think deeply and had some kind of association.

...

In the afternoon of the next day, the purple-faced burly man returned to the room with a disappointed expression.

Lu Chang'an later learned that the purple-faced burly man failed to become the prince's guard, and he even failed the primary election.

After thinking about it for a while, Lu Changan understood the reason.

The hunchbacked old servant next to the prince couldn't tell the truth, at least he was a fake real person with vicious eyes.

The purple-faced brawny man is full of murderous intent. As a deserter on the battlefield, his identity is not innocent and he has no loyalty at all.

The purple-faced strong man quickly gave up thinking about it.

Joined the New Moon Chamber of Commerce the next day, signed a contract of sale, and became the bodyguard of the Chamber of Commerce.

"Fellow Daoist Wu, sign a contract with the chamber of commerce. Although you will lose your freedom for a period of time, it is better than losing your life."

After joining the Chamber of Commerce, the purple-masked man tried to persuade Lu Changan.

"Furthermore, it's good to enjoy the shade under the big tree, and the chamber of commerce will also provide the spiritual pulse dojo and resources."

"Listen to Guanshi Jia: more than ten years ago, there was a Liang Guo monk who performed well during the contract period, married with the eldest lady of the chamber of commerce, and later became one of the principals of the chamber of commerce. Those days were much more moist than in Liang Guo Already!"

Lu Changan smiled and said nothing, this story may indeed have a prototype, but it is definitely a case within a case.

If you don't draw a big cake for you, you have no hope at all. How can the monk who signed the contract be willing to work hard for the Chamber of Commerce?

"Fang Daoyou, can you show Wu a view of the spiritual contract you signed?"

Lu Changan's heart moved, and he suggested.

"What's the meaning of this, Fellow Daoist Wu?" The purple-faced burly man asked hesitantly, frowning slightly.

"There is a saying in the world, there is no business without adultery. Wu wants to see if there is any tampering with the signed spiritual contract."

Lu Changan said cautiously.

The purple-faced burly man laughed and said: "Fang is not an ignorant person, and there is no problem with the content of the contract."

After finishing speaking, he took out a scroll made of yellow leather and showed it to Lu Changan.

"Second-level spiritual contract... Fang Zhong... New Moon Merchant Guild..."

Lu Changan checked the format, terms, and the obligations of both parties, and found nothing wrong.

Through this spiritual deed, Lu Changan knew the full name of the purple-faced man: Fang Zhong.

The name Fang Zhong may also be a pseudonym.

But it does not affect the binding force of the spirit contract.

As long as you leave your own mana imprint on the spirit contract, it will take effect.

This kind of mana imprint has the soul breath unique to monks.

Its binding force is close to the oath of the inner demon, and within a certain range, the effects of mana backlash and position sensing are added.

Even if he escapes by chance, he will be unable to move even an inch within Jing country, and he will become a wanted criminal.

This second-order spirit contract book, depending on the effect, is worth 1,000 to 2,000 spirit stones each, and is protected by the Jingguo Business Alliance.

"Well, no problem."

Lu Chang'an nodded, and returned the spirit deed scroll to Fang Zhong.

After Fang Zhong left, a smile appeared on the corner of Lu Changan's mouth.

The binding force of this second-level spiritual contract is mainly aimed at monks at the foundation establishment stage and below.

If it is a real person, the signing is almost equivalent to a free signing, and the price of breaching the contract is very small.

Lu Chang'an's spiritual consciousness and body training have reached the level of a fake alchemy real person, so naturally he is not afraid to sign this spiritual contract.

In addition, the mana breath simulated by his illusory mask can even try to deceive the spirit deed.

After all, it is only a second-order spirit contract, and there are loopholes to exploit.

Lu Changan made up his mind to find a good chamber of commerce and sign a spiritual contract.

...

After a few days of private contact, Lu Changan found a relatively suitable target.

A guest room on the second floor of the Spirit Ship.

"Wu Daoyou claims to be a second-rank alchemist, whether he can open a furnace to make alchemy, verify one or two."

On the main seat, a handsome young man dressed in silk and a jade crown spoke bluntly.

The handsome young master is the representative of the "Five Blessings Chamber of Commerce", and the accompanying monks of the Chamber of Commerce call him Mr. Xia.

"Wu is not talented, and he refines a second-order panacea that can be made into a pill faster in one furnace."

Lu Changan couldn't let the other party come up with exam questions, mainly because he, a second-tier alchemist, was relatively weak.

The reason why the skills of the talisman master and the puppet were not revealed was that they were worried about their identities being leaked.

The ancient ruins, the hidden danger of killing Jinyangzong monks, are still unknown.

It's safer to go to Jing country now, since I'm not familiar with the place.

In Liang Guoxiu's world, the outside world only knew that Lu Chang'an was a talisman master. Only the close monks know that he also has puppet skills.

As for the attainment of the second-rank alchemist, no one outside knows.

"Master Xia, please take a look."

A few days later, Lu Changan successfully opened the furnace and refined three low-grade Huiyuan Pills.

After checking the quality of the elixir, Mr. Xia remained expressionless.

He handed the pill to the old man with mustache next to him.

The old man with a mustache carefully identified the elixir, sniffed it with his nose, and frowned slightly.

"Young master, Wu Fan is indeed a second-rank low-rank alchemist, but his techniques are relatively mediocre, and I'm afraid he doesn't have any special skills."

The old man with the horoscope Hu cultivated in the late stage of foundation establishment, and communicated with Mr. Xia through sound transmission.

"After all, he is a second-tier alchemist, which is beneficial to the clan and the Chamber of Commerce. No matter how advanced his skills are, he will not be able to turn to our Wufu Chamber of Commerce."

Mr. Xia sighed secretly, and said via voice transmission.

After confirming Lu Changan's skills.

Young Master Xia asked some more questions, trying to test out Lu Changan's details.

The Liang Guo monks who signed the contract, the chamber of commerce must guarantee their identity.

In the unlikely event that the enemy's country is spying, or the heinous person commits crimes wantonly in Jing's territory, the guarantor's chamber of commerce will also bear joint and several liabilities.

"Master Xia, is the twenty-year contract time too long?"

Lu Changan said in a dissatisfied way.

Mr. Xia explained: "The monks of your country who signed the contract on the spirit ship basically started in twenty years. This cannot be changed."

"What's more, we provide Fellow Daoist Wu with a beautiful second-order spiritual vein dojo, the basic spiritual stones and resources needed for cultivation, including the service of concubines and servants..."

"The amount of alchemy is reduced by another 30% each year. For the excess part, normal remuneration will be charged."

Lu Changan bargained symbolically.

Mr. Xia discussed with the old man with a mustache, and finally agreed to Lu Changan's request.

Lu Changan thought to himself, although this condition is not as good as enshrining, it is still considered a reasonable employment relationship.

The only criticism is that the basic remuneration is low and the number of years is relatively long.

However, Wufu Chamber of Commerce needs a guarantee to sign a monk, and needs to pay a sum of spirit stones to Jiuchen Chamber of Commerce.

Purchasing the second-level spirit contract of the business alliance is also a fee.

Therefore, the conditions of the Wufu Chamber of Commerce are relatively loose among the chambers of commerce that Lu Changan negotiated with.

Of course, this is due to the fact that the Wufu Chamber of Commerce is not very powerful, and there is a demand for second-tier alchemists.

In contrast, other big chambers of commerce have more stringent conditions.

...

In a quarter of an hour.

Lu Changan and the chamber of commerce represented by Mr. Xia signed a second-level spiritual contract.

The constraints of the spirit deed are much looser than Fang Zhong's.

Lu Changan imitated the mana breath of other people with the "Hundred Illusion Mask", leaving a mark on the second-level spiritual contract.

In this way, when it comes to Jing Country's Immortal Cultivation Realm, whether to fulfill the contractual obligations depends entirely on Lu Changan's mood.

"Young Master Xia, Mr. Wu is now an external monk signed by your Chamber of Commerce. Can you ensure that he arrives safely in Jing Country?"

Lu Changan asked.

"As long as you don't encounter the Devil's Cult, this chamber of commerce can ensure that you arrive safely in Jing Country. Entering the territory of the country, the last identity check, there is a spiritual contract, and you can easily pass."

Young Master Xia's tone was much lighter, and he answered patiently.

"Dare to ask, how likely is it to encounter the Demon Cult?"

Lu Changan had inquired before on the ship that encountering the Demon Cult was the biggest threat.

The Jiuchen Chamber of Commerce has more energy, which can save money and avoid disasters.

"Probably a possibility of one or two out of ten."

Mr. Xia is very calm.

"In case of misfortune, you don't need to panic. As long as you are not a hostile target that the Demon Cult must kill, you can just pay the ransom."

"Twelve out of ten?"

Lu Changan thought of the girl Wei on the spirit ship, and felt that the possibility was more than doubled.

...

Unknowingly, the spirit ship of the Jiuchen Chamber of Commerce flew for a month in the barren land between the two countries.

Halfway through the journey.

Lu Changan was determined in his heart: there is less than half of the journey left, even if there is an accident, and he has to go to Jing country alone, the pressure will be much less.

Because, the area close to the country of Jing was less affected by the war of cultivating immortals, and the risk was not as great as that of the country of Liang.

"Fellow Daoist Wu, you actually joined the 'Wufu Chamber of Commerce'?"

"The situation of this chamber of commerce is not optimistic. The industry under its name has been suppressed by the "New Moon Chamber of Commerce".

Fang Zhong didn't know where to get the news, and felt worthless for Lu Changan's choice.

He originally invited Lu Changan to join the New Moon Chamber of Commerce, but the latter refused and instead joined the weaker Wufu Chamber of Commerce.

Only now did Lu Changan know that the real inside story of the Wufu Chamber of Commerce and the New Moon Chamber of Commerce were actually enemies?

Lu Changan chose the Wufu Chamber of Commerce because he felt that the Chamber of Commerce was easier to talk to and had more lenient conditions, that's all.

Even if the conditions are not harsh for the New Moon Chamber of Commerce, Lu Changan does not want to join.

Because, his boat ticket was obtained by Li Congren from the New Moon Chamber of Commerce.

If Lu Changan joined the New Moon Chamber of Commerce, the latter would probably investigate his situation. If the investigation is in-depth, there is a certain chance that it will be associated with his identity.

"Fellow Daoist Wu, here's a toast! No matter what the future holds, Fang will recognize you as a friend before landing in Jing Country."

Fang Zhong drank a glass of spiritual wine, his tone was forthright, and his fleshy face was flushed with purple wine.

Lu Changan heard the meaning behind his words, and drank a glass with a smile.

at the same time.

On the deck of the head of the spirit ship.

The handsome young man in golden robe and the long-haired woman covered by tulle stood side by side, overlooking the sea of ​​clouds below.

"Young Master Wang, we will arrive in Jing Country in ten days. Do you think the cultivators of the Demon Sect will take action?"

Miss Wei shook her temples, her jet-black eyes, smooth forehead, and straight nose were dimly visible under the veil, outlining her glamorous and three-dimensional facial features.

"Miss Wei, you can rest assured."

Prince Wang is calm and composed, with a sonorous tone:

"With my young master here, even if the monks of the Devil's Cult come, what's the problem?"

Peng!

The dull loud noise that shook the mountains came from the distant sky.

Prince Wang's heart trembled fiercely, his complexion turned pale instantly, and he felt like his heart was jumping with fear.

At this moment, the monks on the entire spirit ship were full of impetuous energy and blood, and their ears were ringing.

"not good!"

Not far away, the expression of the hunchbacked old man with closed eyes and resting his mind suddenly changed.

Swish!

He got up quickly, and together with the beautiful girl next door, he escorted the prince back to the superior guest room.

"ah……"

Miss Wei covered her face with her hands, looking panicked.

No one noticed that the corners of her lips under the veil curled up with sarcasm.

...

In the guest room on the first floor, Lu Changan and Fang Zhong were also alarmed.

"what sound?"

Fang Zhong ran out of the room anxiously and looked into the distance.

"Third-rank monster? Accompanied by a strong demonic energy?"

Lu Changan closed his eyes to sense, and couldn't help being moved.

hum!

The spirit ship of the Jiuchen Chamber of Commerce is fully deployed, slowing down to maintain order in the spirit ship.

moo~

In the sky six or seven miles away, the black wind and strange fog roared, and there was a terrifying roar.

All the cultivators used the magic of spiritual eyes to inspect their eyes, and their hearts were beating wildly.

At the place where the incident happened, there was a huge bull as black as iron, as tall as a tower, with hooves like giant pillars, riding on the black wind and raging flames, flying sand and rocks and sweeping for a mile or two.

boom! Click!

Under its four hooves, a spirit ship of the Chamber of Commerce more than 30 feet away, the hull cracked, and there was an overwhelmed tearing sound.

Inside the spirit ship, the black wind billowed with furious flames, and the mournful howls were gradually swallowed up.

"Black wind bull! The holy beast of the Xuanyin demon sect!"

On the spirit ship, some knowledgeable monks from the chamber of commerce were pale and their voices trembled.

The black wind bull, with the blood of the upper reaches of the earth, has a body like a diamond, has infinite strength, is good at the black wind black art, and is extremely lethal.

Near the black wind bull, there were two teams of monks in dark robes, slaughtering the injured monks who had escaped from the spirit ship.

"Xiang Jinglong! If you join the demon sect and help the evildoers, Liang Guozong will kill you sooner or later."

A beautiful woman in a green shirt with a fake alchemy cultivation base had blood oozing from the corner of her mouth, her aura was dim, her skirt was burnt black, and she fell powerlessly to the ground.

"Bah! Old ladies, how majestic were you when you chased and killed a certain family?"

Xiang Jinglong, with a yellowish complexion, was wearing a gilded toga, from top to bottom, stepping on this fake nun from the Palace of Fire.

The ribs of the beautiful woman in the green shirt were broken, and she said tragically: "Xiang Jinglong...killed the descendants of the elders...you will not escape the catastrophe..."

"What elders and descendants, can you explain clearly?"

Xiang Jinglong's face darkened, his eyes were gloomy.

Back then, he committed a crime in the Mo family's Fangshi, suspected of revealing his identity, a trivial matter with insufficient evidence, and then inexplicably became wanted by Lihuo Palace.

Over the years, he has gained a firm foothold in the Devil's Cult and tried to investigate the cause, but failed to find any clues.

At this moment, listening to the words of the beautiful woman in green shirt, he faintly felt the truth.

Xiang Jinglong picked up the beautiful woman in green shirt and wanted to ask more questions.

It turned out that the woman had become a slightly warm corpse.

In order to prevent humiliation and torture, the other party used the last trace of mana to destroy his own heart and died.

"unlucky!"

A haze appeared on Xiang Jinglong's face, and he turned his eyes to the spirit ship, which was several miles away in the sky, twice its size.

"Xiang Zhenren is the spirit ship of the Jiuchen Chamber of Commerce."

The fake Dan middle-aged leader of another team of dark robe monks showed a tacit smile.

...

The spirit ship of the Jiuchen Chamber of Commerce was on standby, trying to avoid the incident.

However, the spirit ship is huge in size, and its speed is far inferior to that of the fake alchemy cultivator, and it is also not as good as the small spirit boat of the same rank.

moo~

The Black Wind Barbarian Bull of the Tier 3 monster was so fast, he chased after him within a dozen breaths.

Xiang Jinglong and another fake alchemy from the Demon Sect led two teams of monks to outflank them.

With Lu Changan's rich running experience, it is not appropriate to act rashly at this time, otherwise it may attract the attention of the third-rank monster and the false pill of the Demon Sect.

Anyway, on the spirit ship, there are two or three fake pills, either explicitly or secretly.

The best time is to wait for the attention of important people to be drawn and the situation to be chaotic.

Besides, as long as Miss Wei is on the spirit ship, Lu Changan doesn't have to worry about his own safety for the time being.

The other monks on the spirit ship were in panic.

Unlike Lu Changan, they had insight into more inside information.

There is only one fake real person in the Jiuchen Chamber of Commerce.

It was the middle-aged Confucian shirt sitting in town.

"Renren Xiang, we are serious businessmen from the Jing Kingdom, and we never underpay tolls every time. Can we..."

The middle-aged Confucian shirt came out with a smile.

Glancing at the black wind bull that cast a huge shadow above his head, his eyelids twitched.

"Let's talk nonsense, let go of the formation! A certain suspicious monk who only arrests Liang Guozong!"

Xiang Jinglong said impatiently.

The middle-aged Rushan smiled wryly, exchanged a few words with the stewards of several large chambers of commerce, and finally ordered to open the formation of the spirit ship.

"Everyone stays in the spirit ship, anyone who dares to come out will be killed without mercy!"

Xiang Jinglong and middle-aged Fake Dan boarded from the front and back of the spirit ship respectively, and checked each room.

The search this time was much stricter than Liang Guozong's.

Regardless of ordinary rooms or superior rooms, every corner is without exception.

The third-order big demon, the black wind bull, wandered in the sky, and the terrifying and cold black wind demon power made all the cultivators feel suffocated.

The two fake Daoists of the Devil's Cult monitored the inspection of each room throughout the process.
