Can Scientific Cultivators Penetrate into the Second Dimension

"Oh, Fellow Daoist Ou is willing to accept this guarding mission?"

After hearing that Lin Xiu was willing to take over this "hot potato", Li Hongzhi, who was originally distressed, quickly changed his attitude and returned to his original enthusiasm: "You don't need to worry, Fellow Daoist Ou, although the task of guarding can't be like staying in the molten dragon mountain range to practice all the time. , but other than that, all kinds of returns are beyond a lot.”

"Appreciate further details."

In order to allow those who joined the Foundation Establishment Keqing to be patient and help him, Yanlong Pavilion also put a lot of effort into it.

With Lin Xiu's mid-stage cultivation base, if he goes to a place to perform guarding tasks, five hundred spirit stones a month is indispensable, and there are also various auxiliary pills, but for Lin Xiu at this stage, the most The most important thing is Li Hongzhi's last sentence——

"If Fellow Daoist Ou is willing to guard the business way for a long time, he can choose a jade slip from the Sutra Library of the Outer Gate every year, and if it has been three years, he can even study any jade slip from the inner sect except the exercises!"

Lin Xiu didn't pay much attention to the things stored in the Sutra Pavilion of the Outer Gate. Even for sects of the same size as the Hegui Zong, what was placed in the Outer Gate was only the information of the Qi training stage, let alone the Yanlong Pavilion.

What Lin Xiu really valued was the treasures of the inner sect of Yanlong Pavilion.

Of course, it is impossible for Yanlong Pavilion to easily provide its inner sect's exercises to a "keqing" who joined halfway, but with "Tianhe Sword Code", "Virtual Phase Method", "Five Aggregates Method"... Lin Xiu of the Famen doesn't need it either, what he really needs is the method of refining weapons and the method of formation.

Apart from the impossibility of borrowing the core parts of these two, at the cost of Lin Xiu's mid-term cultivation base plus guarding for three years, it might be impossible to get in touch with them.

It was also after hearing this condition that Lin Xiu made up his mind.

From the commercial road map provided by Li Hongzhi, I found "Tianheng Mountain" [-] miles away to the west-it is occupied by a casual cultivator group in the name of a sect. The highest level of cultivation is only in the early stage of foundation establishment. A little more.

At the foot of "Tianheng Mountain", there is a relatively inferior spiritual vein and an unmined spiritual mine, which are just used by Lin Xiu to practice and "hidden sword". One of the main roads from east to west, there are many caravans coming and going. At that time, I can also try to help Ying clear her "inventory". After all, it's not a problem to just stare at my own pocket.

That's why Lin Xiu's current career came into existence.

There is no suspense about the subsequent development. Facing the arrival of "Yanlong Pavilion", and the cultivation base is still "unfathomable". Naturally, it is impossible for the loose cultivator group to have any cohesive force, and it is even more impossible to really fight to the death with the "official" Yanlong Pavilion. If a monk with a higher cultivation level or even a Jindan real person makes a move, it will still be all over by then.

Following the self-proclaimed "Master of the Sect", the Foundation Establishment Loose Cultivator took the lead and ran away with his sword, and the rest scattered like birds and beasts. In less than half a quarter of an hour, the entire Tianheng Mountain was completely wiped out.

That is, from this time on, this mountain was called "Tianheng Mountain".

Tianheng Mountain is about [-] feet high. In terms of height and size alone, it can be regarded as medium-sized in a place like Suxuanling. However, because the nearby Lingmai Lingmine is thin, and it is too close to Yanlong Pavilion, there is nothing to attract any sects. It took root here, but was targeted by a group of casual cultivators as a temporary stronghold.

After a fire burned the messy buildings above, Tianheng Mountain returned to its original appearance.

After cleaning up, Lin Xiu didn't want to stay on the top of the mountain any longer. The weather was cold and windy. If it wasn't for the "head" of a sect who had to show his status in this way, Lin Xiu would really like to blow the cold wind all the time. There should not be many people.

Besides, the spirit veins and the spirit mines are both hidden underground.

"At this time, it's your turn to play——Noelle!"

Accompanied by the wonderful BGM summoned by the "xx baby" in the mind, the "Chongyue Sword" wearing the "fine iron skirt armor" - the knight maid Noelle made her debut.

"Please leave it to me!"

Raising the black rock sword in her hand, the maid stood on the ground and started her mining career... Well, she just opened a temporary cave along the spirit mine.

Following the traces left by someone who did not know how long ago, with the help of Noelle, Lin Xiu cleaned up the "cave" in less than two days. First, he took out the nine handles that had been hidden for seven years. The swords were inserted into the ground one by one, and then a new one was inserted directly into the center with the highest concentration of aura.

Like the previous "Sword of Vowed Victory", Lin Xiu has already completed the process of "obsessed with obsession" for this middle-grade dharma sword he personally refined, and then only needs to repeat the process of "hiding the sword" That's fine.

In this way, Lin Xiu settled down at the foot of Tianheng Mountain for the time being, and while practicing, he studied the art of refining and formation that he had just learned.

In the blink of an eye, another three years passed quietly...

"Shaodong's house, Tianheng Mountain is in front of us. After passing Tianheng Mountain and catching up with the journey for three to five days, we will be able to see the melting dragon mountain range."

Following the direction that Steward Shen pointed, Wan Le'an looked from a distance, and saw a mountain about [-] feet high standing on the side of the straight business road. The ground can also be called tall.

And this kind of place with high mountain terrain is often accompanied by spiritual veins, and once there are spiritual veins, there is often a kind of human existence.

With a faint uneasiness in his heart, Wan Le'an asked Steward Shen in a low voice: "Butler Shen, are there any strong people near Mount Heng today?"

But he didn't want to. Butler Shen showed a smile when he heard this question: "Young master can rest assured, if it was three years ago, Lao Shen would never have chosen this business path. , There is not much profit after a trip, and there is always fear.”

Wan Le'an was taken aback when he heard the words: "Butler Shen means that it has changed now?"

"That's right, the mountain has been renamed 'Tianheng Mountain' since Senior Ou of Yanlong Pavilion took over three years ago, and he took action to wipe out the chaos around Tianheng Mountain. If the monks want to make a move here, they have to consider whether it is worthwhile to provoke the Seven Gates for this little Lingshi goods."

Only then did Wan Le'an suddenly realize that when he looked at the Tianheng Mountain again, he no longer felt uneasy just now, but looked forward to it.

——Senior Foundation Establishment of the Seven Gates, this is his first close encounter.

Steward Shen noticed his expression, thought for a while, and then said: "Speaking of which, the Young Master can take a rest when we reach the foot of Tianheng Mountain."

Wan Le'an subconsciously wanted to agree, but when he thought of the instructions at home before he left, he still swallowed back the unspoken words, and turned to Steward Shen and asked, "Why?"

"The Young Master's family doesn't know. After Senior Naou cleaned up the chaos around Tianheng Mountain, many caravans from the market took a fancy to the business opportunities here. After seeking the consent of Senior Ou, they opened a small scale at the foot of Tianheng Mountain. Although the scale of the trade fair is far less than that of a regular square market, it is safe and convenient, and there are few people who dare to cause trouble when Senior Ou watches."

"After hearing about this, some low-level casual cultivators who had no place to go moved here with their families. Over time, a place of residence was formed around the foot of Tianheng Mountain. If nothing else, just taking a short rest would be no big deal. By the way, some less important items can also be sold and purchased again, and it will save you from having to look at the face of the big business when you go to Yanlong Pavilion."

After the question was cleared, Wan Le'an, who had this intention in mind, naturally had no reason to refuse, and immediately accepted Steward Shen's suggestion with pleasure.

In this way, the caravan walked for another hour, pulled by several camels with the blood of monsters, and soon, the group arrived at the foot of Tianheng Mountain.

"Is this the landing place that Steward Shen just said?"

With surprise on his face, Wan Le'an was slightly distracted: "Such a scale can't be called small."

Not only Wan Le'an, but Steward Shen was also surprised when he saw the scene in front of him - he had walked through this business road a year ago, and he also saw that the population was less than a few hundred at that time, and it was not even called a "town". It's a bit reluctant, but looking at the village that was nominated by Senior Ou himself, what I see now is a large stretch of houses. Although it is neither tall nor gorgeous, it looks neat and orderly. Pedestrians, whether monks or mortals, come and go They are not as panicked as the outside world, but are full of enthusiasm and vitality, and the most eye-catching ones are those who trade.

Still some distance away, various voices of bargaining have already been heard.

But in terms of "business atmosphere", this town is definitely in the top three among all the trading venues Steward Shen has seen.

You know, although Steward Shen is only at the fifth level of Qi training, he has seen not only forty or fifty places in his life, but there are always twenty or thirty. The large-scale market in Ronglong Mountains, where the trading scope covers more than half of Su Xuanling, has a lot of knowledge.

Even so, when I saw this small town at the foot of Tianheng Mountain again after two years, I still felt a sense of shock.

"This place must be managed by many people who are proficient in business!"

After making such a judgment, facing the puzzled eyes of the Young Master beside him, Steward Shen explained: "It is true that the prestige of the foundation builder of the Yanlong Pavilion can attract people from the perimeter to vote, but it can only be maintained. , and even chaos due to poor management is not uncommon, but here...it only looked like that two years ago, but it has developed to such a scale in just two years, if it is not managed by people who are proficient in business, it is There is absolutely no possibility of such a development!"

"That is to say, that Senior Ou not only cultivated well, but also proficient in business?"

"That's not necessarily the case."

With the third voice interjecting into the conversation, Wan Le'an subconsciously turned his head to look, and showed surprise when he saw the person coming: "Brother Zhao."

At the same time, Supervisor Shen beside him bowed his hands and bowed: "Director Zhao."

"Haha, you can't be called Wan Shao's owner, and Brother Shen too. There was no such red tape when you and I were doing business together 20 years ago."

Meeting an old man in a foreign land, after the three of them exchanged pleasantries immediately, the topic turned to the "master" of Tianheng Mountain.

"Brother Zhao said just now that Senior Ou is not a person who is good at business? But if that's the case, how can you develop this place from scratch in just three years?"

"It's impossible for Senior Ou not to be good at business, but it doesn't mean that the people around Senior Ou are not good at it."

As he said that, Manager Zhao showed a look of reminiscence on his face: "In the past few years, Mr. Zhao had to stay here because of business affairs, but he was fortunate to see the general process of this place's development to this point, and also met the few people around Senior Ou... Fairy."

Wan Le'an and Director Shen, who thought they would hear the title of "business wizard", couldn't help but look at each other. How could this title not match their current conversation?

After noticing the reactions of the two, Director Zhao smiled wryly and said, "Zhao also expressed his feelings. After all, those who appeared beside Senior Ou at that time, no matter who they are, Zhao will never forget them in this lifetime."

"Let's get down to business. Among the people around Senior Naou, the first person Zhao met was the 'Master Engraver' who planned the overall layout of the commercial land here today."

"Master engraving?"

"Yes, the master's origin is mysterious at this moment, and I don't see anyone mentioning his identity to anyone. It's just that someone occasionally heard Senior Ou call him that, and sometimes he called him 'Aqing', but this should be because of the deep relationship, so I will be called 'Master Engraver'."

Looking at the neatly planned and orderly town in front of him, which is large enough to accommodate tens of thousands of people without being too chaotic, Director Shen couldn't help but admire: "Such talents, even among big commercial firms, were among the best at that time."

No, Director Zhao interjected: "Brother Shen, don't worry, there are two more."

After hearing "Master Engraving", Wan Le'an, who was already itchy, couldn't help urging: "Brother Zhao, hurry up."

"Haha, okay, the next thing Zhao wants to talk about is this second woman—Miss Wang."

"Different from master engraving, Ms. Wang knows her name because she has had a lot of contact with the town. Her surname is Wang and her name is Xiaomei. She is usually responsible for handling all kinds of trivial matters in the town. Handle the trivial matters of the whole town in a seamless manner."

Chewing on the unheard name of "Wang Xiaomei", Steward Shen, who couldn't find the name in his mind several times, could only give up, and regarded it as an assistant that Senior Ou had found from the outside world——after building the foundation of the Yanlong Pavilion, Steward Shen could only give up. It is not difficult to find one or two people who are proficient in business.

However, this cognition was completely overturned after hearing the third person introduced by Director Zhao.

"The third person, who is also in charge of all trade in the town today, is named 'Ning Guang'."

At the mention of this name, the expression on Director Zhao's face was not just yearning, but a trace of... reverence?

How can this be?

For Director Zhao, who once worked with him in business, Steward Shen knew all too well that he was able to rise from a humble beginning, and in just 20 years he developed from nothing to a director of a large commercial firm, and he was also in charge of It's a big business in Yanlong Pavilion. It's not an exaggeration to say that people are dragons and phoenixes. How could such a person show such an expression to a businessman?

Just when Director Shen thought he was wrong, Director Zhao had already said, "The two of you know why I have to stay here for so long?"

"Uh, isn't it because of Yanlong Pavilion's business?"

"This is just one of them. After all, if you can live directly in Yanlong Pavilion just for the business of Yanlong Pavilion, why bother to look far away."

"Then what does Big Brother Zhao mean?"

"That's right, it's because of this strange woman named 'Ningguang'!"

Who is the staring light?

No one had even heard of this name before, but with the stability of Tianheng Mountain and the town at the foot of the mountain that has been growing and expanding in just two or three years, this name has already become popular among the people in Shangxingfang City. circulate.

"Because of Zhao's identity, she has had contact with this Miss Ningguang for a time or two before. This woman knows people's hearts, is good at speaking, has amazing insights, and her business acumen is even better. She must be the merchant's daughter in Wanghai Territory. In the business alliance, she is definitely the number one big businessman!"

Looking at the appearance of Brother Zhao who was mentioned time and time again by his father, Wan Le'an couldn't help feeling full of curiosity and yearning, and looked towards the tall Tianheng Mountain.

——At that moment, master, Wang Xiaomei, Miss Ningguang, and that senior Ou, are they on it?

……

"Snapped"

At a depth of about a hundred feet underground, Lin Xiu picked up a chess piece and pressed it onto the chessboard, accompanied by a crisp sound of "pop" - he lost.

Seeing the black chess pieces being eaten one by one by the tall silver-haired woman opposite, Lin Xiu's eyes twitched slightly: "I won't play anymore."

"This is only the third round, and it's still far from the tenth round."

Looking up at the smiling woman on the opposite side, Lin Xiu spread his hands and said, "Anyway, I can't play Go, and I can play backgammon with you."

"This way of Go can also be used in business, but in the case of 'Gobang'..."

"That's it. Just like you are good at business and I am good at cultivation, asking me to play Go is the same as asking you to play backgammon."
