The Fourth Lingshi Financial Crisis

Tian Beixi and Lin Musen next to Yang Lu were both official contestants of the Zhongzhou Sword Discourse Conference back then, and they both knew Ling Yang, the main competitor, but Ling Yang didn't know these two guys who participated in the competition anonymously at that time. , so the two sides had to introduce themselves to each other again very comically.

After learning of Tian Beixi's identity, Ling Yang was also very surprised.

He couldn't help pointing to the third group of cultivators who came to welcome Zhang Zhicheng, and said, "Fairy Tian is a direct disciple of the head of the Shenhuo Sect, and also a guest of the Arctic Cold Palace. Come together..."

What he meant was to ask why Tian Beixi stayed with the people from the Qingning Chamber of Commerce.

In the eyes of others, the relationship between Yang Lu and Tian Beixi is not considered close. Although the two masters are named brothers under Feisheng Xianren's sect, due to the tense relationship between the Shenhuo Sect and the Wuliang Sword Sect, Tian Daxiao, as the head of the Shenhuo Sect, if Getting too close to Li Qingyang will definitely cause dissatisfaction with the Wuliang Sword Sect. Therefore, in the past hundred years, the number of times Li Qingyang and Tian Daxiao have visited each other is very small. Even after Li Qingyang passed away, Tian Daxiao did not come to Zhongzhou to express his condolences.

Outsiders have no way of knowing what happened on the outlying islands and the battlefields outside the region, so seeing Yang Lu and Tian Beixi walking together, outsiders will inevitably feel a little strange.

If Ling Yang didn't take the initiative to bring this up, Yang Lu, who was in the game, really didn't realize this problem.

However, it was really difficult for Yang Lu to answer this question.

Because he himself doesn't know what kind of relationship he has with Tian Beixi, so he can't tell the truth, saying that Tian Beixi is his pal!

However, Yang Lu reacted very quickly. After being stunned for a while, he was still planning to leave the relationship between Li Qingyang and Tian Daxiao as an excuse. After all, it is inconvenient for the two big brothers to walk around each other, but their apprentices do not have this restriction, so they can communicate more. !
But before Yang Lu opened his mouth, Tian Beixi took the first step and said: "My family's head master often asks me to learn from Consultant Yang, and I have admired Consultant Yang's knowledge for a long time. I came here specially to ask him for advice. I didn't know that Consultant Yang had too high a vision and didn't like me at all, so I had no choice but to stay by his side and stalk him..." At the end, Tian Beixi blatantly threw a grudge at Yang Lu eyes.

Ling Yang didn't know Tian Beixi's character, so there was something wrong with the way he looked at Yang Lu.

Seeing Tian Beixi's upside-down appearance, he was close to recommending himself on the spot, but you, a low-level spiritual root monk, are still making up your mind. Even if you already have Li Qingning as a Taoist partner, the more opportunities you have to double cultivate with high-level spiritual root monks of the opposite sex, the better. Is the guy some hidden disease that men can't talk about?
Of course Yang Lu knew what Ling Yang was thinking, but he had taken advantage of Tian Beixi these days after all, he had no position to refute, and could only sit back and watch his reputation be harmed.

In the end, Zhang Zhicheng's flying spirit boat landed and broke the embarrassment of the scene.

Today's Zhang Zhicheng does not have the decadent appearance of the middle-aged crisis before. Instead, he is wearing a neat Qianjimen disciple uniform and is accompanied by a Jindan stage monk. He only nodded very reservedly when he greeted the friars from the Arctic Cold Palace.

The monks who led the team in the foundation-building period of the Arctic Cold Palace saw Zhang Zhicheng stepping off the spirit boat, and just wanted to greet Zhang Zhicheng, but Ling Yang stepped forward to greet him: "Elder Qin, I sent Sect Master Wu to learn that you are paying a special visit on behalf of Qianji Sect. The Hanguangjian faction has already prepared spiritual tea in the reception room, please do not hesitate to show me your favor and stay in my faction for a few more days!"

In fact, Elder Qin didn't know why the Lightning Sword Sect felt that he was here to visit them specially, but since the head of the Lighting Sword Sect had to entertain him personally, he could only make a mistake.

So Elder Qin coughed twice.Turning his head to Zhang Zhicheng, he said: "Since it was personally invited by Head Wu of the Light Sword Sect, I don't want to disrespect his old man. As for the guests of the Arctic Cold Palace, I will let you accompany them first. If the Arctic Cold Whatever needs the palace puts forward, you will try your best to meet them, and don't lose the demeanor of our Qianjimen."

Although Zhang Zhicheng was successful in his middle age, facing his elders, he still respectfully said: "Elder Qin can rest assured, I will definitely not disappoint the fellow Taoists of the Arctic Cold Palace."

With Zhang Zhicheng's assurance, Elder Qin turned around again and said to Ling Yang: "Then bother Sect Master Wu!"

"Elder Qin is too polite!"

After the two parties finished their courtesies, Elder Qin nodded to Zhang Zhicheng, then turned into a light and went straight to the gate of the Hanguangjian sect.

As a Jindan period monk, Wu Yanjun, head of the Hanguangjian Sect, has a much higher status than Elder Qin. Yang Lu and the others who came to greet him greeted each other, and left in a hurry on their own.

Ling Yang looked at Elder Qin, then at Zhang Zhicheng who stayed where he was, and finally decided to follow Elder Qin to the headquarters of the Light Sword Sect. After all, Zhang Zhicheng was a guest invited by the Arctic Cold Palace, and he was not at the Light Sword Party. There is no demand. In comparison, it is obvious that Elder Qin, who has a higher level of cultivation, needs to be accompanied more.

On the other side, the monks who were in charge of welcoming him in the Arctic Cold Palace had only built a foundation, and he finally found a chance to say hello to Zhang Zhicheng when the Elder Jindan from Qianjimen left.

However, this time, someone moved faster than him.

Lin Musen quickly stepped forward and said, "Zhang Daoyou, it's been a long time. I'm Mu Sen!"

The astonishment in Zhang Zhicheng's eyes flashed past, but when he saw Yang Lu beside Lin Musen, he instantly realized that this Fellow Daoist Mu should be the "assistant refining equipment" that Consultant Yang had prepared for him.

So he quickly showed a warm smile and responded: "Mu Daoyou, I didn't expect that we would meet in the Arctic State by fate. I didn't know you were..."

Since Zhang Zhicheng is considered a man of influence, many people usually stare at him. Yang Lu was worried that his summoning spell would be intercepted, so he didn't make a full statement with him in advance. Zhang Zhicheng only knew that Consultant Yang wanted him to recommend Mu Sen served as his assistant in refining, but he didn't know the details of the operation.

Already worried that he would leak his words in front of the monks of the Arctic Cold Palace, which would lead to some flaws that would never turn back. For a while, Zhang Zhicheng couldn't help but feel a little stuck.

But Lin Musen's reaction was very quick. Seeing Zhang Zhicheng's embarrassing situation, he immediately opened his mouth and said: "During the exchange event between Huoyun State and Beimo State's artefact refining circles last time, Zhang Daoyou's artifact refining techniques can impress me. It made a deep impression on me, before, I thought that I had a high level of crafting, and I looked down on the same level of craftsmen in the world, but after seeing the strength of Zhang Daoyou, I only knew that there are people out there!"

Lin Musen's rhetoric was exactly the excuse Yang Lu made up in advance, and this excuse did not arouse the suspicion of the monks in the Arctic Cold Palace.

Because the refiners themselves are a small circle, it is normal for the refiners to know each other. If two refiners happen to appear in the same city, it will be difficult to justify it without communicating.

No one doubted that Zhang Zhicheng came to Hanguang City to meet with Consultant Yang. After all, Elder Qin, who led the Qianjimen team, admitted that this was an official visit to the Hanguangsaber Sect. While exchanging greetings, Head Wu of the Light Sword Sect and Elder Qin of the Qianji Sect had already started an awkward chat in the reception room of the Light Sword Sect, forcibly performing a meeting that neither party had prepared in advance!
Just when everyone had different thoughts, the Arctic Cold Palace monk who led the team finally found a chance to speak and asked, "Friend Zhang, have you known each other for a long time?"

Zhang Zhicheng said with a smile: "Fellow Daoist Wen, since the head of the Hanguang Sword Sect is invited, I may send Elder Qin to stay in Hanguang City for a few more days. I just heard that Fellow Daoist Mu is also in Hanguang City. I just plan to take this opportunity to exchange my experience in refining weapons with him, what do you think?"

Seeing Zhang Zhicheng mentioning himself, Lin Musen also clasped his fists at the monks of the Arctic Cold Palace and said, "Musen in Xiahuoyun Prefecture is now serving as the guest secretary of the Qingning Chamber of Commerce in Haiya City. I have met Fellow Daoist Wen!"

There are countless base-building monks in Kyushu's comprehension world who serve as guest ministers of the chamber of commerce. Since Lin Musen didn't say what family or sect he was from, he obviously didn't come from the seven major sects, because other small sects and sects are not fully recognized by everyone, and telling them will only increase embarrassment.

Without Zhang Zhicheng's introduction, the dignified Arctic Cold Palace monks would not have looked at Lin Musen directly.

But since Zhang Zhicheng introduced the matter solemnly, the monks of the Arctic Cold Palace had no choice but to return: "I am Wenbo Mountain of the Arctic Cold Palace. This time, I am entrusted by Palace Master Yin to welcome fellow Daoist Zhang."

After finishing speaking, he nodded to Tian Beixi and said, "Fairy Tian, ​​I didn't expect you to come to Hanguang City."

Tian Beixi covered her mouth and smiled softly: "I just happened to come to Hanguang City to do business, but counting the time, it's time for me to visit Palace Master Yin face to face..."

Hearing this, Wen Boshan's eyes froze instantly.

As Yin Huaiyuan's direct disciple, he of course knows Yin Huaiyuan's physical condition, and also knows the purpose of Tian Beixi's visit to Yin Huaiyuan: that is to give Yin Huaiyuan this year's Karmic Fire Devouring Pill, and on behalf of Shenhuozong, he reiterated his relationship with the Arctic Cold Palace. alliance relationship.

So Wen Boshan immediately asked: "When is Fairy Tian going to leave?"

Tian Beixi replied as if nothing had happened: "My family's head master has already greeted Palace Master Yin. I was originally planning to leave this morning, but I just heard that the young talents of Qianjimen came to visit, so I came here to meet you. Time to go!"

Hearing what Tian Beixi said, Wenboshan's expression suddenly changed.

Today's Arctic Cold Palace seems to be still the overlord of the Arctic State, but there are undercurrents surging inside because of Yin Huaiyuan's injury, especially those Jindan elders who were suppressed by Yin Huaiyuan before, it seems that they don't want to see Yin Huaiyuan's death When his health recovers and he regains power, that's why Yin Huaiyuan asked his direct disciple Wen Boshan to give up his precious training time, and personally go out to do this kind of mundane chores:
Because there are not many people Yin Huaiyuan can trust now!
However, Yin Huaiyuan chose to accept Tian Beixi as a registered disciple. The need for Karmic Fire Devouring Spirit Pill was only one aspect of it. On the other hand, he also planned to use the external forces of Shenhuo Sect to suppress the opposition inside the Arctic Cold Palace.

Although this approach would push more Jin Danqi elders to his opposition, if he didn't do this, I'm afraid the elders of the Arctic Cold Palace would be even more unscrupulous in setting him up.

This time Wenboshan was ordered to take Zhang Zhicheng back to see a doctor. Someone inside the Arctic Cold Palace will definitely jump out to make things difficult. If Tian Beixi, an external ally, is brought in, the pressure he faces will be greatly reduced, at least in the face of opposition forces inside the Arctic Cold Palace. At that time, Tian Beixi and him still had common interests...

Thinking of this, Wen Boshan simply suggested: "Zhang Daoyou, it's not too late. I think the matter of exchanging refining experience can be put aside later. Since Tian Xianzi is also going to the Arctic Cold Palace, I think you will take a boat with us." Let's fly the spirit boat!"

Zhang Zhicheng suddenly showed distress and said: "But it seems that Elder Qin will stay in Hanguang City for a while..."

Tian Beixi immediately interjected: "Don't decline, fellow Daoist Zhang. After all, Palace Master Yin invited you by name, not your Elder Qin. What's more, Elder Qin also asked you to meet the requirements of the Arctic Cold Palace just now." ?"

Hearing what Tian Beixi said, Zhang Zhicheng quickly glanced at Yang Lu who was standing next to her.

When he heard that Consultant Yang was going to forcibly arrange a refining assistant for him, Zhang Zhicheng had already guessed that this time they were going to the Arctic Cold Palace to do something, and noticed that Yang Lu nodded to him calmly, Zhang Zhicheng knew what the other party meant:

Consultant Yang and Tian Beixi are probably deliberately trying to dismiss Elder Qin!
Wenboshan didn't know the relationship between Yang Lu and Tian Beixi, but Zhang Zhicheng saw Yang Lu let Tian Beixi go on the battlefield outside the territory, and he knew that these two people were together, so Tian Beixi just said that he was going to leave soon , clearly deliberately induced Wen Boshan to urge everyone to leave early on behalf of the Arctic Cold Palace.

Now that the Arctic Cold Palace has offered to invite him, and Elder Qin has made it clear just now that he should try his best to meet the requirements of the Arctic Cold Palace, then he can definitely agree to it first, and take the opportunity to dismiss Elder Qin who is in the way:
After all, this is the first mouth of the Arctic Cold Palace!
So Zhang Zhicheng replied very simply: "No problem, I am representing Qianjimen to provide services to the Arctic Cold Palace this time. Of course, your needs shall prevail!"

Wen Boshan didn't expect that Zhang Zhicheng would leave with him so easily, but this was his goal in the first place, so he said with a smile: "Then thank you, Fellow Daoist Zhang, for your cooperation!"

Just as Zhang Zhicheng was about to say something, he found that Yang Lu was secretly pointing at Lin Musen beside him, so he instantly understood: "By the way, since we are going to the Arctic Cold Palace to learn more about the problem of refining weapons, I can't grasp it by myself." It’s not very big, I wonder if I can invite Fellow Daoist Mu to be my refining assistant?”

As soon as these words came out, Wen Boshan frowned immediately: "Gongzhu Yin only invited you alone, and besides, I only met fellow Taoist Mu once, so how can I take him to the important place of the sect at will?"

Before coming to Hanguang City, Zhang Zhicheng had already considered for a long time how to recommend Mu Sen as his assistant for refining. Now that Elder Qin has been dismissed, and he will not go to the Arctic Cold Palace with him, Zhang Zhicheng has room to play. It's just too big.

So he continued Lin Musen's self-introduction made up just now, bragging without drafting: "You don't know something, Mr. Mu is not an ordinary craftsman, but the heir to the inheritance of ancient crafts in Huoyun Prefecture!"
