Tian Yuan Xian Ji

Chapter 616 Ink Characters
The Qingshi street in Fangshi can't be seen at a glance, with carved railings and jade bricks on both sides, and row upon row of attics are arranged symmetrically.

On the street, monks in twos and threes shuttled between the shops, most of them were building foundations.

Tang Ning walked straight forward. His goal was very clear, which was to go to the Baoxing store to buy Huang Yuan Dan. The monks walking around the street saw the Golden Core cultivator appearing, they all looked sideways, with awe in their eyes, and retreated to both sides.

Tangning didn't look sideways, and strode forward. No matter where she was, her cultivation was the standard for judging nobility.

Thinking back to when he was still a disciple of Qi refining in his early years, when he met a foundation building cultivator walking towards him in the square market, he would have to step aside for a small step, so he has long been accustomed to such things.

The roads in the city are criss-crossed, and after a while, he came to a fork in the road and went to the upper left.

This is the road leading to the management office of Fangshi. Anyone who buys and sells trading items in Fangshi needs to get a number plate at the management office.

Tang Ning walked straight forward and crossed two forked intersections, but saw a cultivator wearing a bamboo hat and a black robe in front of him approaching him. Like the others, the cultivator saw him from a distance, so he turned to the side show respect.

The two passed by each other and gradually drifted away. Tang Ning suddenly stopped and turned around to look. The monk didn't notice it and was still walking forward without haste.

In Tangning's eyes, it was a different look. The cultivator's body was surrounded by countless black spots. The whole body was made up of countless densely packed black spots. After taking a large amount of the Qingling liquid revealed by the mother-of-pearl clam, his eyesight was improved. He was no longer an ordinary monk, and there was no way to hide in front of him with ordinary concealment methods.

Even the monk's exquisite illusion magic power, as long as he concentrates on watching, it will disappear in an instant.

Seeing it drifting away, two lights flashed in Tangning's eyes, and the eyes were radiant, making people afraid to look up.

In his eyes, this person immediately showed his original shape. His internal organs and limbs were completely devoid of, and his whole body was condensed by black liquid, like a paper man, just like a walking ink painting.

Tang Ning's eyes were slightly closed, and the light in his eyes only flashed away. When he opened his eyes again, he had returned to his normal appearance. He turned around and continued to walk forward, but his mind was full of thoughts.

Who is this person?There is such an exquisite method?This cultivator obviously has no entity, but it feels so real to people, and the fluctuation of spiritual power on his body is also very stable, and he can't even detect the clues with his own spiritual sense detection. This is definitely not an illusion, but a real one. Real existence.

Thinking of this, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and his footsteps stopped.

Is it him?

Tang Ning stood still and thought for a long time. Thousands of threads flashed through his mind. He vaguely felt that he had grasped something, but it slipped through his fingers.

In the end, he shook his head and continued to walk forward. After walking for a while, he came to the Baoxing shop. Before he entered the hall, a woman dressed in the costume of the Baoxing Chamber of Commerce came to Jishou and saluted: "What is your order, senior?"

"I need three bottles of Huang Yuan Dan."

"Senior, please follow me." The woman led him to a cabinet on the third floor of the attic, took out three bottles of Huang Yuan Dan and handed it to him: "A total of [-] spirit stones."

Tangning took the elixir and went with her to a room on the fourth floor of the attic. The woman knocked on the stone door.

"Come in." A deep voice came from inside.

The woman pushed the door open, and Tangning followed her into the inner room. Inside, a bearded man was sitting at the desk, sorting out the books in his hand.

Seeing the two walk in, he stood up with a smile to respond, Ji Shou said: "Friend Tang is here."

Tang Ning returned a gift from Jishou and called him Daoyou Xu. This person's name was Xu Qian, and he was one of the stewards of Fang City. He was in charge of the specific matters of Baoxing Store and Baoxing Inn. Every time he bought Huang Yuandan in this store, he came and went, so we met each other.

"Master Xu, this senior bought three bottles of Huang Yuan Pill. Because the transaction amount is too large, the subordinates can't make the decision, so I'm asking for instructions." The woman said.

"I see, you go!" Xu Qian waved his hand.

"Yes." The woman took the order and left.

"Fellow Daoist Tang, please sit down."

Tangning was a little suspicious. She didn't know what kind of medicine he was selling in the gourd, so she sat down as she said, "What do you want to see, Fellow Daoist Xu?"

"Don't dare to do it." Xu Qian said: "It's just that I have nothing to do, and I want to chat with fellow Taoists. You must have heard the news that the Mubei Xuanmen will withdraw to the south!"

Tang Ning said, "These rumors and rumors are self-explanatory, so they cannot be trusted."

Xu Qian smiled and said: "Fellow Daoist, why should you deceive yourself? The news of the Xuanmen's defeat has indeed existed for a long time, but today is not the same as in the past. Usually, you can often see Qingzhou Daxuanmen's military warships coming and going on the Qinghai Sea, but these Have fellow daoists Nian seen it before?"

Tangning said, "I've never left Xingang, so naturally I haven't seen any warships coming and going."

Xu Qian said: "The Xuanmen of Tiannan Swamp has already retreated, and the alliance army in today's South is preparing to go north. You don't know this situation!"

"The Qing sect above the four major sects of Xuanmen is the strongest, and the Taixuan sect is the weakest. Even the Shang Qing sect can't hold the Tiannan Swamp, and voluntarily retreats. With the power of the Taixuan sect, how can it stick to the Mubei grassland?"

"With all due respect, the reason why Xuanmen was able to hold on to Mubei for so long is entirely because the Mubei Allied Army wanted to go fishing for a long time and continue to consume the strength of Taixuanzong and Qingzhou. If it weren't for this, I'm afraid it would have fallen."

Tang Ning said, "The general trend of the world cannot be controlled by you and me. No matter how the situation changes, soldiers will come to block it, and water will come to cover it."

Xu Qian said: "Daoist friends, what you said is wrong! There is a way that a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall. Today, there will be great changes, and he should plan for himself."

"What do fellow Daoist Xu mean by this? Please tell me clearly."

Xu Qian said: "If one day, the Mubei coalition forces go south and push Qingzhou, what is the plan of fellow Taoists? Or where does your sect want to take refuge?"

Tang Ning said, "What do you mean by what fellow Taoists say? Could it be that the Baoxing Chamber of Commerce intends to incorporate our sect?"

Xu Qian said with a smile: "You are joking, fellow daoist. On that day, the Baoxing Chamber of Commerce will not be able to protect itself, how can it protect others? But then again, the world is in chaos this time, because the Taoist sect has been domineering for a long time, and other forces are full. Being oppressed and persecuted by it, the world has suffered for a long time, causing the sky to be angry and the people to complain, so the monster clan is together, and the world gathers to respond."

"Take the Mubei Alliance as an example. Among the coalition forces, there are Demon Sects, Monster Races, local aristocratic families and chambers of commerce. Such astonishing fighting power shows the deep resentment towards Xuanmen."

"Although the Baoxing Chamber of Commerce is not considered a large chamber of commerce, it has never had any enmity with the Mubei Alliance. They only want to deal with Taoism. We are in business, so it shouldn't be difficult."

"If fellow daoists have no good places to go, our chamber of commerce welcomes fellow daoists to join at any time. The president has always valued talents, such talents as fellow daoists. If you join this chamber of commerce, it will be like swimming a dragon into the sea, and a tiger returning to the mountain. You can really show your strengths. With a lot of achievements, as for the remuneration, fellow daoists can rest assured that it will never be lower than that of fellow daoists in Gan Yizong."

Tang Ning laughed secretly when she heard this. Xu Qian said so much, he dared to poach someone. Calmly: "I don't know what Xu Daoyou said, but the meaning of your Chamber of Commerce?"

Xu Qian said: "Of course, otherwise, with the status of the manager of our district, how dare you make such big words. To be honest, this is an order issued by the president of our sect, asking the shopkeepers from all over the country to try their best to recruit the most talented people in the Taoist sect. Fellow Daoist Tang, as one of the Golden Core cultivators of Qianyi Sect who has not achieved many achievements, is also in the prime of life, rich in spring and autumn, and is exactly the candidate we expect."

Tangning's heart skipped a beat, "So it's inevitable that the Mubei Allied Forces will go south?"

The chairman of the Baoxing Chamber of Commerce actually issued such an order publicly. If it hadn’t been for the precarious situation of Mubei’s Taoist sect, it would certainly not have been like this. The situation is far more critical than I imagined.

Tang Ning originally thought that even if Xuanmen wanted to abandon Mubei and the Allied Army go south, it would definitely not happen overnight, it would take at least a dozen years.

Looking at it now, I'm afraid that's not the case. Maybe one day, Mubei's alliance will rush forward.

Xu Qian smiled and said: "It's natural, fellow Daoist Tang probably doesn't know it yet! Taixuanzong has already sent a large number of people to Qingzhou with the warship, and those Daxuan sects in the interior of Qingzhou have mobilized their troops and rushed to Donglai County, even in Liangzhou. The frontline support teams have all returned to the sect."

"Right now, the inland area of ​​Qingzhou is full of mountains and rain. Flags and warships cover the sky everywhere. If it wasn't for defense against Mubei's alliance army, how could such a large formation be needed?"

"I heard that Taixuanzong has sent his sect's grand elder Ren Boda to Donglai County, and he is now sitting in Donglai County City, commanding and dispatching the soldiers and horses of various Xuanmen in Qingzhou."
