Lonely Immortal

To be honest, Zhang Zhiwen actually knew nothing about the situation in the Xingji Monster Territory. He didn't know much about Ling Yunyan and the others. Logically speaking, it was unlikely that Ling Yunyan would assign any tasks to him right away. But Ling Yunyan still arranged such a seemingly harmless task for him. Zhang Zhiwen naturally had some thoughts in his heart, but on the surface he still nodded and agreed.

Seeing Zhang Zhiwen's agreement, Ling Yunyan was obviously quite satisfied, and then she said: "The sect's training mission must involve a large number of casual cultivators. In addition, there are also major families and casual cultivators who will definitely participate. , there must be a lot of people..."

Ling Yunyan then talked about some general analysis of the sect's training mission. The general meaning was that there were too many monks and too little food, and the competition was fierce.

"So, we should not rush to take action when the time comes. We should try our best to find bargains when we can, and seek help from other casual cultivators if we can. Don't you think so?"

Ling Yunyan talked for a long time and finally expressed her last thoughts.

What is this called bargain hunting? What does begging mean? This was clearly an attempt to take advantage of the situation or simply rob it openly, and the target they were looking for were rogue cultivators. However, Ling Yunyan's words not only did not arouse any objection, Zhou Ruoyuan and others also quite agreed.

"What Sister Yunyan said is true. The big families or the big casual cultivators can take the initiative, but we are different. We have few people, so we can only act according to the situation."

Zhou Ruoyuan looks like a scholar, but he doesn't necessarily follow the rules. Doesn't the so-called "acting by ear" mean that he plans to take advantage or rob other people?

"Hey, in fact, we are definitely not the only ones who have this idea. I'm afraid other people have similar ideas. What's wrong with the big families? What's wrong with the big casual cultivators? They may be the fattest ones, but it doesn't necessarily mean they don't have them. What's the weakness? They naturally do their part to hunt down the Star Note monsters, but can't we just watch them kill the monsters and take away all the resources? "

Cao Lingcheng seems to have a bigger plan, which is no different from that of a bandit.

As for Ling Yunshui, she didn't say anything. Anyway, she would do whatever Miss Ling Yunyan decided.

But Zhang Zhiwen finally understood. This group of people was clearly similar to the bandits. Who were the bandits? Zhang Zhiwen knows this best. Therefore, Zhang Zhiwen's initial cordial feeling towards Ling Yunyan and others was gone, and instead he had other thoughts in his mind.

On the surface, Ling Yunyan and others were polite to Zhang Zhiwen, even quite close to him. They even called him Xiaowen. Zhang Zhiwen was almost on the road. In fact, these people did not regard him as one of their own. Otherwise, how could they do it? Will he be allowed to collect elixirs and fruits alone? What they said about hunting down the Xingji monsters was all lies, and what they said about not being in a hurry to do it was just trying to cover up the truth.

In short, Ling Yunyan and others intend to obtain the maximum benefit at the minimum cost, and the interests of others can be sacrificed, including Zhang Zhiwen.

Zhang Zhiwen didn't feel anything wrong with this. Everyone's interests were different. Ling Yunyan and the others had their own interests. That was normal. However, Zhang Zhiwen was obviously the one whose interests were betrayed. Zhang Zhiwen would not be stupid. Even though he was being used as a gunman, he only showed that he still agreed with Ling Yunyan and others.

Zhang Zhiwen was also responsible for all the maps. He didn't know much about the situation of the Xingji monsters. Even though Ling Yunyan had just taken out the map, there were various markings on it, and Zhang Zhiwen saw it, but Zhang Zhiwen was 100% sure of what was recorded on it. I guess most casual cultivators know this Yes, Zhang Zhiwen thought this was some kind of exclusive map at first, but it was not. If it was, then Ling Yunyan would definitely not take it out, because what Ling Yunyan and others just said was enough to prove that these people are not good birds, so they Everything I said before is false.

But I have to say that the acting skills of Ling Yunyan and others are quite good, but it is a pity that they underestimated Zhang Zhiwen's keen sense. Zhang Zhiwen has been exposed to bandits, and he is very familiar with the atmosphere of bandits like Ling Yunyan and others. This kind of mountain bandits The biggest characteristic of bandits is that they are selfish and only plot for their own interests. They will never talk about loyalty for others, but they all have one thing in common, that is, they open and close their mouths with brotherly loyalty.

Sure enough, Ling Yunyan patted Zhang Zhiwen on the shoulder again and said: "Xiao Wen, don't worry, since you have followed me, you are my good brother, Ling Yunyan. Naturally, we brothers and sisters share blessings and hardships. , so this mission is completed, I will definitely not lose you."

Look, she does whatever Zhang Zhiwen wants. This is simply the behavior of bandits, but Zhang Zhiwen naturally pretends to be flattered and thanks him politely.

Seeing Zhang Zhiwen like this, Ling Yunyan was naturally very satisfied, but Zhang Zhiwen saw the almost imperceptible playful look flash across the eyes of Zhou Ruoyuan and Cao Lingcheng, and Ling Yunshui, this girl's city was even shallower, she Looking at Zhang Zhiwen's expression, there was obviously some disdain.

However, Zhang Zhiwen sees through it but does not tell it, because there are many things that Zhang Zhiwen does not need to say more now. Even if he wants to fall out, he does not need to say it out loud, because no matter how much nonsense he talks, it will not help. In the face of interests, no one can admit their mistakes, even For profit at all costs.

However, Zhang Zhiwen felt that what Ling Yunyan and the others said were not completely false. For example, about the Star Flower, it was obvious that Ling Yunyan and the others were going for the Star Flower. As for the sect training mission materials, they were all easily accessible. Moreover, Zhang Zhiwen felt that it would not be difficult for them to intercept and kill other casual cultivators. Another thing, Zhang Zhiwen felt very clearly. Ling Yunyan and the others really don’t want to complete the sect training mission immediately, but hope to accumulate more star flowers. Furthermore, for them, it seems that joining the top ten immortal sects is not difficult, and the foundation building pill is not something. Difficulty, there seems to be something interesting in this. At least these people are not just leaving the family or being expelled from the family.

Several of them are children of a big family. They left the family for the purpose of getting more and better resources, and the Star Flower is obviously an important factor. If they are from a big family, after hunting the Xingji Monster, It must involve the issue of distribution. If so many children are distributed, how many will they get?

Another thing is that they are the children of a big family. Although they have separated, they are still members of the big family. It does not seem to be difficult to join the top ten immortal sects. At least Zhang Zhiwen can feel that they are not very special. Care about this matter, it is obvious that the children of the big family have some connections, plus they have enough Star Flower resources, it is really not difficult to enter the sect, and it seems that building the foundation is not difficult either.

Therefore, why did these people really leave the family for so-called marriage and other matters? Zhang Zhiwen doesn't really believe it anyway. The things reported by the outside world are very superficial and superficial. In fact, there must be many unknown secrets secretly.

It's like Ling Yunyan has an industry here in Juxian City. Just imagine, if it was a casual cultivator, how could it be possible to get such an industry?

Then the question comes again, how many of the casual cultivators outside have separated from the family? And these so-called casual cultivators who broke away came to Juxian City, they took part in the test, and they still have properties in Juxian City. Isn't this a disguised form of big families invading the territory of the casual cultivators?

Combining the above, Zhang Zhiwen has almost got the answer.

Although it seems quite messy when thinking about it, it is actually very clear and simple after sorting it out.

In the Tianshui area, apart from the big families, there are also casual cultivators. The two seem to be quite distinct, but in fact there is not much difference. Because they all have families as their main body, even the casual cultivators may have been so-called big families before, such as the Zhao family. After the Zhao family declined, they naturally became one of the casual cultivator forces, but they are still from family backgrounds in essence, and the powerful ones When the casual cultivator forces develop, they can enter Feixian City at any time and become the overlord of one party.

Therefore, the real casual cultivators are mainly loners like Zhang Zhiwen, while the other side is the family-dominated force. The so-called casual cultivators like Ling Yunyan are actually not real casual cultivators at all. Ling Yunyan, Zhou Ruoyuan or Cao Lingcheng, which one of them is from Jia Mao Feixian City? Neither of them, right? But why are they here? Isn't this matter still obvious?

Therefore, Zhang Zhiwen found it more and more interesting. The forces in the Feixian City were also secretly wrestling with each other. On the surface, they would definitely not use violence or anything, but secretly they sent their own children to fish in troubled waters, and they broke away from their families and killed He was fearless when he came up. Naturally, he had a strong aura of bandits. If Zhang Zhiwen hadn't met Ling Yunyan and others, he wouldn't have known that the fight between the major forces had been so fierce. Didn't Cao Lingcheng say, What is a big family? No, are there still weaknesses? So what exactly is the weakness? Zhang Zhiwen didn't know what his weakness was, but it was impossible for Cao Lingcheng to say this for no reason.

From the perspective of casual cultivators, the materials of Xingji monsters and nearby elixirs and fruits are the most important resources, because they are the threshold conditions for entering the major immortal sects. But for these big families or casual cultivator families, Star Flower That's what makes them salivate. So, is the Star Flower really that powerful?

Zhang Zhiwen is really looking forward to it.

"Okay, now that we've all discussed it, okay, let's pack up and set off immediately. The Star Note Monster will appear soon. We need to arrive as soon as possible so that we can prepare."

Ling Yunyan clapped her hands, very satisfied with this negotiation, because she had the final say from beginning to end, so naturally there was nothing dissatisfactory about it.

Sure enough, Zhou Ruoyuan, Cao Lingcheng and others naturally agreed, and Zhang Zhiwen also agreed. He had nothing to deal with, so the group left here quickly. According to Ling Yunyan, it would be best before dark. Arrive at the first location, which is an abandoned station on the outskirts of the Xingji Monster's territory.

This surprised Zhang Zhiwen. He didn't expect that Tianshui Hills actually had a post station, but obviously there should be many things in Tianshui Hills that Zhang Zhiwen didn't know. But this time when he followed Ling Yunyan and others, he should know more. things.
