The Fourth Lingshi Financial Crisis

Chapter 438 Visiting Together
Thirty miles east of Haiya City, Haiya Island.

As a rare place of pure cultivation in the Haiya area, an important commercial town in the southeastern part of Zhongzhou, the headquarters of the Haiya faction is located on Haiya Island, and there are nearly a thousand Haiya faction cultivators who are practicing in seclusion all year round.

Although the density of cultivators on this small island is astonishing, it usually looks very deserted, and there is no one in sight for a long time, because the cultivators of the Haiya faction who come here often enter the cave for retreat immediately. Few people would come out to hang out, and those cultivators who could come out to hang out would not come here from Haiya City to clean up.

Therefore, this overseas island where thousands of cultivators gather is usually as quiet as a haunted house in an amusement park. Only the pulsating aura fluctuations produced by the cultivators when they try to break through the bottleneck of their cultivation prove that this place is not uninhabited. deadly.

The retreat place of Jiang Hua'an, head of the Haiya School, is located in the most secluded place on the entire island.

But today, Sea Cliff Island unexpectedly became lively.

As two powerful rays of light came from the direction of Haiya City, this place of pure cultivation was like a stone stirring up a thousand layers of waves. A large number of Haiya monks who had retreated and cultivated came out one after another, facing the two rays of light. welcome up.

The main reason why the closed-door monks of the Haiya faction treated him so seriously was because of his special status.

They are Su Yuanfeng, the head of the Haiya Chamber of Commerce who has just advanced to the early stage of Jindan, and Han Xinhe, the elder of the Law Enforcement Hall of the Haiya faction who controls the inspection power of the Haiya faction, and the nine-story foundation-building monk.

In Haiya City, not everyone is like Yang Lu, who can meet senior members of the Haiya Sect casually. Ordinary Haiya Sect monks rarely have the opportunity to meet the second and third leaders of their sect, and even some The disciples of the Ya faction had never had a serious conversation with these two before the foundation building stage, so everyone wanted to take this opportunity to get acquainted with the high-ranking members of their sect.

In the face of a large number of monks who came out to say hello, Han Xinhe and Su Yuanfeng just said a few words casually, and then waved their hands to signal them to leave, because they came to Haiya Island today, not specifically to say to the retreat monks, "Comrade!" You have worked hard", but plan to visit the head of the Haiya faction and Haiya city lord Jiang Hua'an together!

This should also be the first time in the past 20 years that the Big Three of Sea Cliff City have met in private.

As the saying goes, don't speculate and talk more than half a sentence. Although the three of them have been in the same city all year round, the three major families have many conflicts with each other. Even if there is an urgent matter that needs to be communicated, they mostly communicate through their subordinates.

This time, the two of them came to Haiya Island to meet with the head, explaining that the pilot reform of Zhongzhou's social security system has already made the entire Haiya department's senior management unable to sit still.

Jiang Hua'an obviously knew that these two people were going to pay a visit, so he ended his practice early.

In order to entertain the two of them, he specially ordered his disciples to clean up the entire cave, the tables and chairs were spotless, and even a pot of unknown rare spiritual plants was placed on the wooden table.

Seeing Su Yuanfeng and Han Xinhe push the door in, Jiang Huaan greeted with a smile: "President Su, I didn't expect you to successfully advance to the Golden Core stage so soon, and we also have a third Golden Core stage monk in our Sea Cliff Department. It's really gratifying Congratulations!"

Although there was only Jiang Huaan, a Golden Core stage monk in Haiya City before, there was nothing wrong with his words.

Because apart from Jiang Hua'an and Su Yuanfeng, there is another Jindan stage monk in the Haiya department who has a relatively thin presence, that is Xu Haihong, the overseas trade director of the Haiya department and a Jindan second-floor monk who is based in Huoyun Prefecture.

It's just that this person is resident in Huoyun State, so everyone will always subconsciously ignore the fact that there are actually four major families in the Haiya family.

As the head of the Haiya faction, Jiang Hua'an would definitely not make such a low-level mistake when speaking on a formal occasion.

The three Jindan early-stage monks are insignificant little shrimps in front of the Wuliang Sword Sect, but if you compare them horizontally with other vassal sects in Zhongzhou, the strength of the Haiya Sect is definitely at the leading level.

You know, even the Yangming sect in southern Zhongzhou, whose population is nearly three times larger than that of the Haiya area, has only three Jindan stage monks in total. Counting the Shanying faction that split off later, it is not an exaggeration to say that the Haiya faction is the most powerful vassal sect in Zhongzhou.

The average strength of the monks of the Haiya faction can far surpass their counterparts in Zhongzhou, of course not because the average spiritual root qualifications of the cultivators in the Haiya area are higher, but because the Haiya faction has a strong financial ability.

In particular, the leaders of the four major families of Haiya have more than ten times the financial resources of monks of the same level. Even Han Xinhe, the elder of the Law Enforcement Hall with the lowest level of cultivation, has a very high probability of cultivating to the golden core stage in the future.If it weren't for the intentional suppression of the Wuliang Sword Sect, the potential of the Sea Cliff would even be much stronger than it is now.

Seeing the Maitreya Buddha-like Jiang Hua'an taking the initiative to praise him, Su Yuanfeng who had just sat down couldn't help but narrow his eyes slightly. Given the tense relationship between Jiang Hua'an and him, if the other party's praise came from the heart, it would be hell!

He wanted to say something at first, but in the end he cupped his hands casually and said, "It's just a fluke! I originally estimated that it would take a year and a half, but I didn't expect that the first attempt would be successful."

Jiang Hua'an chuckled and said, "Time flies by like a fleeting horse. I think that when President Su participated in the Ascension Conference, I was the supervisor of the Ascension Conference. I witnessed the scene where you measured the three celestial lights. I didn't expect that more than 100 years have passed. , Chairman Su also stepped into the Golden Core Realm, recalling the scene at that time, it seems like it happened yesterday!"

Everyone is a person of status, even if they look at each other unhappy, they will not express it directly, but although Jiang Hua'an can't find a single offensive word in these words, it can make the listener extremely unhappy.

This kind of speech of relying on the old and selling the old is like the elders of the family saying "I used to hug you when you were young", the more prestigious the person, the more uncomfortable he will feel when he hears this, not to mention Su Yuanfeng is still a dignified sea cliff Chamber of Commerce President.

Su Yuanfeng will definitely not be annoyed by such a trivial matter, but replied indifferently: "Jiang City Lord has entered the Golden Core realm for nearly 300 years, and among the Golden Core stage monks in Zhongzhou, he can be regarded as an out-and-out old man." Senior, even if Chen Ming of the Shanying faction is a little younger than you, even though I am lucky enough to achieve the golden pill, in front of you, I am just a younger generation!"

Su Yuanfeng's words sounded very polite, but they were no less aggressive than Jiang Hua'an's speech just now.

After all, the lifespan of a monk in the early stages of Golden Core is no more than 500 years. Su Yuanfeng said that Jiang Hua'an had entered the Golden Core realm for nearly 300 years, but he was insinuating that his remaining lifespan was running out.

The head of the Mountain Eagle Sect, Chen Ming, is a mid-Gold Core monk, and his life expectancy is decades longer than Jiang Hua'an. Su Yuanfeng pulled Chen Ming out for comparison, and said that Jiang Hua'an was older than Chen Ming, which undoubtedly increased his age. Ironically, as for the polite words such as "younger juniors" behind, they are not important.

As the saying goes, don't slap someone in the face when you hit someone, and don't scold someone when you curse.

Cultivators always attach the most importance to their own longevity. Su Yuanfeng's pointed irony can be called a critical blow. Even if Jiang Hua's Ancheng mansion is not shallow, a trace of anger can't help but flash under his nose.

Seeing that the two had just met, there was a round of secret confrontation between you and me, and in the end Han Xinhe smoothed things over as if he pretended not to understand: "Let's save the polite words for later. Now that Lin Jianxing and Liu Hanxing have made a move, we The most important thing within the Sea Cliff System is to be united, otherwise we might as well surrender!"
