Top-notch Urban Evil Cultivator

On the Jiangyun Expressway.

Several large trucks were lined up in a long queue.

The car headlights shimmered with an orange glow in the morning mist, like a string of moving lanterns.

Behind.

There was also an SUV following behind.

The driver was Xiao Jin.

His broad shoulders almost filled the entire driver's seat, and the steering wheel looked like a small toy in his hands.

Even though the seat was moved to the very back.

It was still very crowded.

The passenger in the front seat was Lin Xuan.

He leaned back in his chair, watching the fields rushing past the window.

"I didn't expect to be escorting supplies with you so soon!"

Lin Xuan stretched and chuckled, "I'm actually a little excited!"

Beside Xiao Jin.

Lin Xuandu appeared rather petite.

"Um!"

Xiao Jin nodded emphatically.

He grinned, revealing a set of white teeth.

"By the way, Director Liu said this batch of supplies is to be delivered to the alliance in Yunzhou." Lin Xuan turned to look at Xiao Jin. "Speaking of which, why does it take two days to arrive when it's so close?"

This was Lin Xuan's first time undertaking such a mission.

Complete newbie.

He knew nothing about the procedures for escorting supplies.

My heart was filled with novelty.

"We are only transporting raw materials; we need Yunzhou's help to extract the spiritual liquid, so it will take some time."

Xiao Jin explained.

"Several truckloads of raw materials must be quite a lot, right?"

Lin Xuan nodded, recalling the time he had absorbed it before.

A full bucket, soaking in it, makes you feel warm all over.

It did indeed strengthen his true essence considerably.

Absolutely fantastic!

Xiao Jin shook his head.

"The spiritual liquid is divided into three grades: lower, middle, and upper."

"Of these truckloads of raw materials, I estimate there will be about 100 portions of low-grade spiritual liquid, 50 portions of medium-grade spiritual liquid, and at best, 10 portions of high-grade spiritual liquid."

"That big of a difference?"

Lin Xuan's eyes widened. "Then what did I use last time?"

"A portion of top-grade spiritual liquid, approximately three times the amount."

Lin Xuan was even more shocked.

That bucket of spiritual liquid.

It was made from at least two trucks?

This amount is just outrageous!

"I can't believe I used so much at once?"

Xiao Jin nodded with a simple smile:

"That's quite a lot."

"So why do we need to go to Yunzhou?" Lin Xuan asked.

"Because Jiangzhou cannot extract the raw materials to the maximum extent, we can only produce medium-grade spiritual liquid at present. Therefore, we often need the help of the alliance in Yunzhou."

"I understand. So, what is the reward?"

"10% of the raw materials." Xiao Jin held up one finger.

"So dark?!"

Xiao Jin nodded, his expression calm:

"This is already quite good; other places charge even more. There's no other way; resources are just too scarce, and there aren't many alliances capable of extracting top-grade spiritual liquid."

His voice contained no complaint, only helplessness.

"Moreover, this doesn't even take into account encountering other ancient martial arts practitioners who might try to steal it. If you're unlucky, you might end up working for nothing."

Lin Xuan nodded.

He let out a long sigh.

As expected, the world of ancient martial arts practitioners is not as simple as imagined.

Along the way, Lin Xuan and Xiao Jin chatted a lot.

Although they were all simple "little things", Lin Xuan's understanding of the ancient martial arts world became much richer.

What resource allocation?

What forces are we on friendly terms with?

What kind of interpersonal relationship or incident?

...

This is also a complex and intricate world.

It took almost three hours to run.

The convoy finally arrived at the outskirts of Yunzhou.

The location of the Yunzhou Alliance.

Unlike Jiangzhou, although both are far from the city center, Yunzhou's alliance is a vast area of ​​factory buildings.

The blue rooftops stretch out in undulating waves.

It is very large in scale.

The white walls outside were clean and tidy, reflecting the sunlight.

The factory area is huge, stretching as far as the eye can see.

Not only that.

The greenery on the side was even trimmed neatly, and the flower beds were filled with flowers of various colors.

It resembles a large corporate base.

Compared to this place...

The Jiangzhou base is practically a small workshop.

The convoy stopped in front of a secluded side gate.

The door was made of sheet metal, grayish-black, and had no markings on it; it was very inconspicuous.

Someone opened the door from the inside, and the convoy filed in.

We walked through a long passageway, with high walls on both sides, covered with barbed wire.

soon.

All the supplies were moved to the central area of ​​the factory.

This is a huge warehouse, the size of several football fields.

The light shone down from above, making it very bright.

The carriage doors were opened.

The workers here, dressed in blue work clothes, wearing masks and gloves, began to carry things down one by one.

The movements were very practiced.

Lin Xuan and Xiao Jingang got out of the car.

Then a middle-aged man walked up.

He was wearing a dark blue jacket and had a smile on his face.

He looked like an ordinary man, the kind you wouldn't notice if you threw him into a crowd.

But Lin Xuan could tell at a glance that he was an ancient martial arts practitioner.

"Little Jin, you're here!"

He greeted him with a smile and patted Xiao Jin's arm.

Then he looked at Lin Xuan:

"This... must be your new guy, Lin Xuan?"

Xiao Jin nodded:

"Brother Guo!"

Xiao Jin had mentioned this person to Lin Xuan before.

Guo Fan is a member of the Yunzhou Alliance and his strength is at the fourth level.

They specialize in handling the business of extracting spiritual essence from various states.

He had such a lucrative job in his hands.

He's become a familiar face in all the state alliances.

Lin Xuan shook hands with him and politely greeted him:

"Brother Guo!"

"Hello, Kobayashi! I've heard so much about you, it's great to finally meet you!"

He shook Lin Xuan's hand firmly and warmly.

"Come on, come on, let's go to my office and rest for a while. Let them handle these things!"

Guo Fan led the two to an office upstairs.

The room was very large, about twice the size of Liu Bo's.

Beyond a desk.

It was all long sofas and tea tables.

A tea tray and exquisite tea set were placed on the table.

It's clear that he needs to attend to people frequently.

There are quite a few people.

Guo Fan brewed tea for them with practiced ease.

The aroma of tea quickly filled the entire room.

Chatted for a while.

Guo Fan picked up his teacup, took a sip, and then put it down.

"Xiao Jin, I've heard about what happened over there, the Xia family..."

He smiled but didn't say anything more.

There was a hint of curiosity in that smile.

After all, he only heard the gist of the matter.

Xia Yu has gone missing.

Xia Guang is gone.

Xia Chongshan, an elder of the Xia family, personally investigated the matter and has not yet returned.

Various rumors are flying around.

The usually low-key city of Jiangzhou has recently become quite lively.

It attracted attention from many places.

Lin Xuan smiled and took the initiative to reply:

"Brother Guo, please don't say that! After this incident, our Director Liu has almost lost all his hair."

"Hahaha!"

Guo Fan burst into laughter, his hearty laughter echoing through the office.

"Old Liu doesn't have much hair left to lose!"

He stood up and poured Lin Xuan another cup of tea.

"Come, have some tea! I'll treat you to a lavish lunch later! It'll be all the best stuff, things you can't get in Jiangzhou!"

The group chatted and seemed to be getting along very well.

The atmosphere was relaxed as everyone chatted back and forth.

But Lin Xuan felt that something was not quite right.

The way Guo Fan looked at himself, or rather, at the people of Jiangzhou, always seemed to carry a certain meaning.

It didn't seem like hostility, nor was it scrutiny.

It seemed like she was having some difficulty speaking.

Has something happened?

Is it still a matter concerning the Xia family?

He secretly guessed what was going on in his mind.

We chatted for more than half an hour.

suddenly.

Guo Fan's phone rang.

He glanced at the screen and narrowed his eyes.

"Xiao Jin, Xiao Lin, please sit here for a while."

He stood up and straightened his collar.

"Another group of people has arrived. I'll go and greet them!"

After saying that, Guo Fan hurriedly left.

"Another group?"

Lin Xuan stood up and walked to the window.

Over at the warehouse, the workers were still busy.

The forklifts were making a loud noise as they transported goods.

Sure enough, a few moments later, dozens of large trucks drove in.

The front of the car connects to the rear, like a long dragon.

The wheels rolled on, kicking up a cloud of dust.

Compared to their size.

Jiangzhou is nothing compared to this.

"Xiao Jin, whose side are these people from?"

Looking at the huge line outside the window, Lin Xuan asked in confusion.
