Xuanjian Xianzu

Chapter 404 Han Shizhen (thanks to the lord of Tiandi Chenguang~)

Li Yuanjiao has practiced on Qingdu Mountain for more than half a year. Although his cultivation has improved, he is still far away from breaking through the middle stage of foundation establishment. After all, foundation establishment is different from Qi training, and it is common to break through once every few decades.

"Father still hasn't set off. He always has to be busy and arrange things before he is willing to leave."

Li Xuanxuan tossed and tossed for more than half a year, but he still didn't leave. Li Xijun didn't urge him, but just waited patiently. After all, collecting cold water is not a big deal, and I'm afraid the urgency has exposed his secrets.

Li Qinghong is retreating, there is no guard at home, Li Yuanjiao is inconvenient to be too obsessed, he comes out to practice spells and swordsmanship from time to time, and is reading the sword scriptures, Li Wushao comes in in a black robe.

Li Wushao got the [Qingyun Milk Fruit] with great gratitude, swallowed it for cultivation, and two dark shadows had secretly appeared under the black robe. It is estimated that after a year or so, the two hooks will grow into.

Li Wushao said:

"Patriarch, there are two people who landed in front of the mountain, and they said that it was the Han family from Dongliu Island who came to visit."

Li Yuanjiao was a little surprised, and asked:
"Dongli Han's family?"

Li Yuanjiao of the Han family has also heard that the foundation-building monsters used in his family's sacrifices were captured in this area of ​​East Sulfur Island. Li Yuanjiao has stayed in that area and knows a little bit about it.

Dongliu Han's family is a long-established family, similar to Yuan's family, with many foundation cultivators, who have laid a great foundation in the East China Sea. Naturally, Li Yuanjiao wanted to greet him in person, so he packed up his clothes and flew out of the cave.

There are two people standing in the courtyard, both of them are foundation-builders. The leader is a young monk with plain appearance and simple clothes, followed by a tall man with a strong back.

Li Xijun was accompanying him in the courtyard, chatting lively with the young man, both of them were smiling, very friendly.

Seeing that man, Li Yuanjiao already understood a little bit in his heart, he cupped his hands and stepped forward, and said:

"Qingdu Li Yuanjiao, I have met fellow Taoist!"

The young man let out an ah, glanced quickly across his face, and replied:

"I'm sorry, I'm in the lower east, Han Shizhen, who is the young head of the Han family, and I've met a fellow Taoist!"

Li Yuanjiao nodded in return and led the two to sit down. Han Shizhen smiled generously and said politely:

"A few days ago, my uncle was seriously ill. My elder brother came to the nobleman to ask for medicine and offended the nobleman. Today, he specially came to make amends. He prepared some small gifts and asked fellow daoists to accept them."

Talking about the big man, he explained:
"My clan brother has always had a violent temper. At that time, his eyebrows were imminent, and his life and death were at stake, so he said something offensive, and I hope you will forgive me..."

It turned out that this big man was the Foundation Establishment cultivator who came to ask for medicine years ago. At that time, he was rude and arrogant, but he was slightly manipulated by Li Qinghong. Now he lowered his head and confessed repeatedly.

Both parties are from aristocratic families, so naturally they would not be angry about such a small matter, Li Yuanjiao declined a few words, and said:

"Nothing, fellow daoist is eager to ask for medicine, I can understand it, it doesn't matter."

Han Shizhen forcibly handed over a jade box, and Li Yuanjiao asked Li Xijun to accept it, asking:
"I don't know the noble elders..."

"Oh."

Han Shizhen shook his head slightly, and replied:
"He couldn't make it through. Although he took many life-sustaining medicinal materials, the injuries he suffered were too serious. After all, the immortal base collapsed and turned into a spirit slough."

When Li Yuanjiao saw that the two of them were not wearing white clothes, he thought they had been rescued. He congratulated them, but he never thought of asking about the pain point. It must be that there is no custom of wearing hemp and mourning in the East China Sea, so he could only accuse:

"Congratulations..."

"It doesn't matter."

Han Shizhen smiled and said softly:
"Although the uncle of the family died, he brought back treasures for my family. It is much more useful than a foundation-builder cultivator. It is a good thing!"

Uncle and nephew Li Yuanjiao froze for a moment, while Han Shizhen took a look at the faces of the two of them, and then he realized that he was afraid that the two would feel bad, and explained:
"My customs in the East China Sea are like this, which are a little different from those in China...don't blame me."

Li Yuanjiao just nodded, a mere apology is naturally not worth Han Shizhen's trip overseas, just waiting for his next words.

Sure enough, after a brief courtesy greeting, Han Shizhen said directly:
"How many [Wanling Flowers] of the nobles are produced every year?"

'It turned out to be for 【Wanling Flower】! '

Li Yuanjiao suddenly understood that the initiative was in his own hands, he relaxed a little, and said in a deep voice:

"It blooms once every three years, and there are fourteen flowers in one bloom."

"it is good!"

Han Shizhen nodded happily, and said:

"Fellow Daoist, how much is the approximate income from selling this flower in China?"

Hearing this, Li Yuanjiao had guessed his thoughts and replied:

"The price has risen in recent years, about one or two spirit stones."

"Harmful!"

Han Shizhen had just picked up the jade cup, and put it down heavily after hearing this, the tea in it hadn't touched at all, and said regretfully:
"Fellow Daoist! This price is too cheap! This is something you can hang your life on and forget your worries!"

He advised:
"You are singing and dancing in the country, and there has never been any major catastrophe. The casual cultivators below are nothing more than that. You and my family understand very well that the so-called demon disaster is just a farce!"

"It's nothing more than my Donghai sect raising the price of blood energy, and the three sects and seven sects are just trying to pull the trigger! How can this Wanling flower be sold in such a bright and peaceful place?"

'Bright and peaceful...'

The corner of Li Yuanjiao's mouth twitched when he heard it, but he was attracted by his words, and said thoughtfully:
"Drawing from the bottom of the pot..."

"Exactly!"

Han Shizhen sighed:

"Overseas monster races have become more and more eager to ask for food in recent years, causing the price of blood and resentment, soul essence and water to soar. The monks in the East China Sea don't have enough for themselves, so where can they be imported?"

"Thus, the three sects and seven sects relaxed the restrictions on the entrance to the sea, allowing overseas casual cultivators to enter, and then directed and staged a demonic disaster by themselves, using their own high-level demonic cultivators to kill mortals and casual cultivators, which can not only eradicate dissidents, dominate the situation, but also I can eat my fill."

Han Shizhen talked eloquently, silently watching the changes in Li Yuanjiao's expression, Li Yuanjiao only sipped his tea and nodded in agreement.

"In this way, the sect eats meat and the aristocratic family drinks soup, and it can still occupy morality-I heard that this thing is very useful in your country."

Han Shizhen made a joke and said with a smile:

"Aristocrats have eaten a lot of magic cultivation in these years, right? I heard that each of them is rich and rich, and even has more than ten spirit stones for fetal breath. I'm so envious!"

Li Yuanjiao smiled deeply and replied:

"It killed some demon cultivators."

Han Shizhen looked sideways at Li Xijun, but saw that the young man nodded with a smile, more natural than Li Yuanjiao, and finally felt a little more certain in his heart:
'The Li family really has some background in Qingchi, Li Yuanjiao is so deep-minded that he can't see it, but Li Xijun is too young, obviously he already knew it. '

The smile became more and more enthusiastic at the moment, and he continued:
"So let me tell you that the inspirations in this world are all in those fairy mountains. In the rest of the world, there are many mortals and few monks. How many foundations can there be? How many people can fight to the death? This [Wanling Flower], it should be there Donghai is here to sell!"

Li Yuanjiao nodded, followed his words and said kindly:
"I don't know how you plan to share it?"

"readily!"

Han Shizhen smiled and said:

"Ten spiritual stones for one, I am seven and three!"

Li Yuanjiao's uncle and nephew were all stunned, shocked by his reselling at five times the high price, Li Yuanjiao fell silent, and Li Xijun immediately said:

"Senior is too greedy!"

Han Shizhen shook his head and said confidently:
"Nobles can also try to sell it by themselves. I'm afraid the news will be released today, and the stronghold will be attacked tomorrow! Donghai doesn't have any reason with you!"

"My family helped to sell this spiritual object, but they have attracted all the coveted eyes on their own! If it weren't for my family's weight in the East China Sea, I would definitely not dare to do it!"

Li Yuanjiao had been to the East China Sea, and he had some calculations in his mind, so he replied immediately:

"Fifty-fifty."

"Up to June [-]th."

Han Shizhen is very sure:

"Smart people don't speak dark words, and I don't like pestering people, so I can say as much as I want."

"Okay, but I have a little request."

Li Yuanjiao nodded, while Han Shizhen looked at him seriously and said:

"Fellow Daoist, please speak."

Li Yuanjiao's voice was calm:
"What I want is [-]% of the proceeds from selling [Wanling Flower]. Fellow Daoists, don't buy these four spirit stones from me. No matter how rare you are, you can sell them at a high price."

Han Shizhen was stunned, as if he had been guessed, he laughed muffled to cover up his embarrassment, and said haha:
"Okay, okay, fellow daoists are not like overseas monks, but this kind of thinking is like me from the East China Sea!"

The two discussed for a while and decided on the volume of goods for next year. Li Yuanjiao ordered:
"Remember that this flower should not be heard crying, if you smell it, you will be thankful, and you should not touch it with gold and jade..."

Han Shizhen nodded to show that he had written it down, said a few polite words, and said abruptly:

"I don't know if your younger sister Li Qinghong ever got married?"

Li Yuanjiao is also used to his style, and said bluntly:
"Little sister has special skills, and she can't do things like marriage. I hope you can forgive me."

"It's abrupt."

Han Shizhen nodded slightly without changing his face, Li Yuanjiao took a sip of tea and asked in a low voice:
"Fellow Daoist Han... I don't know if there will be my overseas family in Donghai to settle down and open up a branch?"

When Li Yuanjiao went to the East China Sea, he also looked for them specially, but after all, these aristocratic families were under the three sects and seven sects, and obviously they couldn't gain a foothold overseas, and I'm afraid they didn't use their own names.

Now that Han Shizhen is here, Li Yuanjiao naturally wants to ask.

"Naturally."

Han Shizhen shrugged and replied:
"Not many, most of them are from the Zifu fairy clan. Even if there are enough foundation-building monks from ordinary families, they rarely gain a foothold overseas... they only have a place in Fangshi."

"The East China Sea is no better than the sea. The islands cannot grow spiritual rice. There are dangers everywhere. Fangshi is ordered by the Three Sects and Seven Sects and is not allowed to open. Once you establish influence overseas, you will not be affiliated with the Three Sects and Seven Sects. Who will let you Come back? There are countless immortal bases, and the three sects and seven sects are not stupid."

Han Shizhen looked at his face and shook his head slightly:
"Although there is permission to operate, the three sects and seven sects are not strictly controlled, but in the end, the benefits are not large. Many aristocratic families have retreats overseas, but few really want to manage them carefully."

Li Yuanjiao nodded secretly, asked for some information, Han Shizhen answered them one by one, took his leave and left.

Li Yuanjiao sent him all the way out of the land and returned to the mountain, only then did he smile. Li Xijun congratulated and said:
"Now that there are more than ten spirit stones, the family can have a surplus of twenty spirit stones every year. It is much more convenient to do anything."

"Not bad!"

Li Yuanjiao nodded secretly, and said in a deep voice:
"This person talked about the evil disaster... It's a bit interesting. It should be the views of the overseas big family on the evil disaster. You can refer to one or two."

"Exactly."

Li Xijun said:

"Although the Purple Mansion in the country is united, they are not completely united. The matter of the evil disaster is led by Qingchi, and all parties are wrestling with each other. There may be other considerations."

The uncle and nephew chatted for a while, Li Xijun said:

"Uncle's talisman is almost finished."

Li Yuanjiao ordered:

"For the matter of my uncle, I will trouble you to go with him. You should retreat and break through, and then set off."

"Yes, Father Zhong, don't worry."

Li Xijun responded, turned around and went to retreat in the Qingdu Cave Mansion.

Li Yuanjiao was sipping tea alone in the courtyard, thinking in his heart:

"Qinghong will also leave the customs...Kong Heng is a foundation-building cultivation base, and the two of them have only been together for half a year, so there should be no accidents..."

He sat on the seat for a few breaths, put the jade cup lightly, and finally made up his mind:
"However, in the first half a year, I still drove the Xuanwen Lingwu to follow. There is no outstanding person in the Chengming generation, and Xi Jun is the one who connects the past and the future. There must be nothing wrong."

Immediately, he called Li Wushao over, explained a few words to him, and helped watch the house, while he took out the sword manual and read it, just waiting for Li Xijun and the others to set off.

……

After leaving Qingdu Mountain, Han Shizhen and the two walked north, and the man behind him said:

"Young master, the Li family seems to intend to gain a foothold overseas."

Han Shizhen nodded and said softly:

"It's not surprising. His family has a background in Qingchi, and he can easily enter and leave the East China Sea. It's normal to find a way out. How many forces in the East China Sea have withdrawn from the sea?"

"What's more, Jianmen, Chunyi, and Chijiao Island are fighting for [Qingsongguan Site], and they are in a mess. It is a good time to enter the sea. If I were Li Yuanjiao, I would also think about this idea."

The burly man nodded in agreement, and said with some concern:

"I just hope that his family can be more acquainted, and don't foolishly settle around my house... The two families have formed some friendship, so don't hurt their relationship because of this."

Han Shizhen shook his head and said decisively:
"Absolutely not... I see that Li Yuanjiao is a cautious and low-key person. If his family wants to settle down, they will also find a deserted island with few people. They would rather suffer and be tired than be exposed to others."

The man sighed and said with emotion:

"It's a poor place, and I don't know when my family will be able to gain a foothold in China."

"Wait for Patriarch Zifu!"

Han Shizhen responded and said with a smile:

"It's not like there's no chance. The country is peaceful and prosperous, and there are three sects to maintain order. Who wouldn't be greedy? Aren't Tang Yuanwu and Chang Xiaozi both from overseas? By then, the seven gates can be added to the East Sulfur Gate, and at worst, they can There are multiple immortal Han families."

"As for the Li family."

Han Shizhen said:
"After all, I am a local snake, and it is good to make friends. If my family has a chance to go ashore, I still need the help of these aristocratic families. If the ancestor fails to break through, I can also invite a few foundation builders to guard the island."

"Yes!"

The man responded, very respectfully, and said in a low voice:

"My lord is very thoughtful."

Han Shizhen didn't pay attention to his flattery, only hesitant:

"The [Qingsongguan Ruins] is getting more and more troublesome, I just hope that the three sects will not be attracted to intervene... It is better to let Jianmen, Chunyi, and Chijiao three Zifu forces continue to be entangled in this way, and I will feel more comfortable in the days to come. "
