Chapter 1278 Give Before Taking
For some reason, Feng Jun had a strong sense of "coal boss" in his eyes.
Does Mr. Coal have any decent background? Really not. What they rely on is that they have local resources and can earn money that others cannot earn, and it is really difficult for outsiders to replace them.
Of course, with the policy of "the state advances and the people retreat", the coal boss will be paralyzed. After all, his arm cannot twist his thigh.
However, without this policy, it would be very difficult to effectively govern.
Two days later, two male disciples from Taiqing arrived at the market. They were both advanced Qi refining masters. One of them was over 170 years old and was considered the elder of a small local family.
Among Taiqing disciples, this situation is not too rare. There is no hope of progress, and there is no better development prospect if they stay in the sect. In this case, these chore disciples have many choices. It can be placed locally and it can be regarded as a contact point for Taiqing.
Of course, if something big happened in Taiqing, they would have to rush back and fight.
Generally speaking, after a disciple enters a sect, he must draw a clear line between himself and his family. However, the rule is that the dead are still alive, and they have already taken care of themselves. If they contact the family secretly, as long as they don't do anything out of the ordinary, most of the other sect members will I will also turn a blind eye.
This old qi refining disciple couldn't stay idle. Hearing that a master from the sect wanted to visit the Songhai Forest, he came to serve him.
This person's semi-public return to the family was actually quite taboo. Even if other Taiqing disciples didn't tell him, it would have been difficult for him to get more sect tasks. However, something happened to his family at that time, and he It’s hard to survive if you don’t take the lead.
As a result, ten years ago, a very qualified disciple appeared in the family. He wanted to send him to Taiqing, but there was basically no room for maneuver. A has-been disciple like him, even if he stayed in the sect to retire, It's not easy to do something like this.
Anyway, he came very enthusiastically and introduced the surrounding situation in detail - if Kong Ziyi could contact him from the beginning, there would be no need to ask Fang Wenping again.
The old qi refining disciple is very familiar with the surrounding situation, but in terms of details, he is still a little bit behind. After all, the best years of his life are spent near Taiqing.
The other Qi Refining disciple is a little stranger to this place, but he is definitely stronger than Feng Jun and Kong Ziyi.
The old Qi refining disciple suggested that some of his tribesmen are more familiar with this place. Would you like a tour guide?
Kong Ziyi didn't understand the meaning of traveling here at all, so she let Feng Jun make the decision.
After Feng Jun asked a few questions, he felt that the old qi refining disciple's tribe was not very familiar with this place - after all, they lived more than 100,000 miles away from here, so he made a decision: let's hire local people.
The old qi refining disciple immediately introduced two Chuchen families. Neither family was big, with less than ten thousand people, but there was more than one Chuchen master in the family. He was not very familiar with these two families, but others also knew that he was too Qing's disciple's identity, he has had some dealings with him before.
The reason why he suggested this was not because he wanted to find Master Chen as a tour guide - as long as he was familiar with the road and was at a high or intermediate level of Qi refining, it would be enough. The key was that these two families were burdened by their families and most of them did not dare to follow Taiqing. The master is playing tricks.
Yes, the people here are still so lawless, and Master Taiqing is not immune to evil.
Apart from anything else, Fang Wenping, an old Qi refining disciple who visited Kong Ziyi, said that he had never heard of such a master - he did not necessarily intend to deceive Kong Ziyi, mainly because of the difference between right and wrong. Well, people often use fake names.
The two families heard that the Master of Taiqing wanted to find a tour guide. The Master of one of them was moved and took the initiative to come to Kong Ziyi and said that I would guide you. I don’t want any reward, so I asked you to help. I killed a wild beast.
The wild beast is a golden-patterned flying bear. It can fly but not very high. It mostly relies on gliding. It is extremely powerful and has acceptable combat capabilities. It can mainly spray venom.
The old qi refining disciple understood immediately upon hearing this, "Is that wild beast guarding some genius treasure?"
"I'm guarding some blue-leaf pearl grass," the Master didn't hide it. "If you want it, it's okay to give it to you. I just want to kill that golden-patterned flying bear. I need that bear." Courage.”
Lao Lianqi frowned and said in surprise, "You, the three masters of the Yuan family, have to hire foreign aid to deal with a golden-patterned flying bear and share the profits?"
"That's not how three masters are used." Master Yuan glanced at him, "If you don't have a master in your family, you think three masters are too many. You will know when you have three masters in your family. One of them will be lost." Can’t afford the damage!”
He explained to Kong Ziyi, "I haven't been there for a long time, and I'm not sure whether the golden-patterned flying bears will have a mate. Although my Yuan family won't be afraid of a pair of golden-patterned flying bears, but everything Once you are targeted by someone with ulterior motives, you will be in big trouble."
"Sir Kong, you are a noble person. I can definitely trust you. Since I am traveling with you, I am not afraid of being coveted by others. When the real fight begins, you two can just sit back and watch... I just hope that others will watch. I don’t dare to act rashly when my helpers are excellent.”
Kong Ziyi laughed when she heard this, "Then, can the two of us get the blue-leaf pearl grass?"
"That's right," Master Yuan nodded simply, "I asked two fellow Taoists to go ahead and get some money."
The old qi refining disciple was dumbfounded and couldn't help but interject, "Master Kong, people here fight all day long and talk a little recklessly. Don't take it off."
"It doesn't matter," Kong Ziyi smiled and turned to look at Feng Jun, "What do you think of Feng Shan?"
Feng Jun really had no interest in escorting others, but it was obvious that fellow Taoist Zi Yi had some interest, and since the two of them claimed to be traveling, they had to look like they were traveling, so he smiled and said, "Forget about the blue-leaf pearl grass. We won’t pay for the guide.”
When Master Yuan heard this, he couldn't help but look at the old Qi Refining disciple - Can this guy be Master Taiqing's master?
But this person could only curl his lips helplessly: I'm curious too.
Once a practitioner makes a decision, he is still very capable of action. Ten minutes later, Feng Jun put away his walking and everyone went straight to the Forest of Ecstasy a hundred miles away.
This area is called the Songhai Forest, which is dominated by pine trees. Most of them are towering trees over a hundred feet tall. Although it is a coniferous forest, the big trees are too tall. It has just been dark outside, but the pine forest is already full of people. Fingers are missing.
Since it was the first day in the forest, everyone didn't go too deep. They found a clearer place, lit a bonfire, and each released a defensive array.
There were four defensive formations, one each for Kong Ziyi, Feng Jun and Master Yuan. The old Qi Refining disciple also brought one with him, dragging in the Taiqing Qi Refining disciple who was traveling with him.
At night in the Forest of Ecstasy, there are many small animals and insects. Without a defensive array, it would be difficult to survive this level.
Feng Jun looked at the thick pine trees in a daze. There are many pine trees with a diameter of one or two meters at breast height, and there are even some with a diameter of five or six meters. "It should be fun to cut this thing back to build a house, right?"
"No," Master Yuan waved his hands hurriedly after hearing this, "You cannot cut down the trees in the Forest of Ecstasy. This area is considered the outer area. If you go three hundred miles deeper, you can really bewitched. The trees on the outer edge are left behind, which can be regarded as the outer area." A kind of protection for the human race.”
"If it is cut down without restraint, and it is so close that it can become a neighbor of a wild beast, who will dare to stay any longer?"
Feng Jun nodded when he heard this, "So it has such a use, so there are relatively few wild beasts in these three hundred miles?"
Master Yuan pondered for a while and replied, "It's not too few. The outermost fifty miles are less. After all, there are more people coming in, and the farther you go in, the more wild animals there are. But if the forest is all cut down, and you are directly next to the Enchanted Forest, then They can only come out, we can't go in."
The old qi refining disciple spoke in a deep voice, "However, in the forest, apart from wild beasts, humans are also scary. Otherwise, we could fly close to the treetops, but in that case, it would be too easy to be discovered."
We talked about wild beasts in the evening, but the next day everyone encountered a lone Moyun Leopard. Fortunately, the three masters took turns using their spiritual senses to detect it, and discovered it in time when the Moyun Leopard approached.
Because we were in an area with relatively sparse trees at that time, Feng Jun shook his hand and used a thunderbolt technique, which made Mo Yunbao freeze up. Kong Ziyi pointed his hand, and a white light shot out, and a blood arrow suddenly shot out from Mo Yunbao's body. .
The old qi refining disciple shouted "leopard skin", but it was already too late.
Master Yuan was still a little more open-minded. He smiled and said, "Moyunbao's eyes, skin, and bones are worth some money. Master Feng used the lightning technique, and the skin was no longer useful... However, it was not injured. Meeting people is the best.”
Although the Moyun Leopard is a desolate beast, it is really not worth much. The total body parts are worth two hundred spirit stones. Among them, the leopard skin is worth eighty spirit stones, a pair of eyes can be used for medicinal purposes, which is worth fifty spirit stones, and the rest is a mess. Add up to seventy or eighty souls.
As for the golden-patterned flying bear they wanted to hunt, one piece of bear bile taken alive was worth five hundred souls.
The prices of spirit beasts and desolate beasts, UU Reading www.uukanshu.net all depend on the specific situation. For example, when Feng Jun was guarding the city in Qiuchenfang City, most of the spirit beasts he killed were worth twenty or thirty spirit stones. Some beasts are only worth a hundred spirit stones.
He now talks about what happened back then, "I'm sorry, I'm used to fighting in the tide of spirit beasts."
"This is normal," Master Yuan nodded, but the expression on his face did not fit the context of "this is normal" anyway, "Sir Feng said that it is war, and we are a hunter who must compare every penny. The purpose was originally different.”
Hearing this, Kong Ziyi couldn't help but speak out, "But... human life always comes first, right?"
Master Yuan looked at her helplessly, "You are from four factions and five platforms. For us, survival is the first priority. In order to obtain sufficient benefits, it is really not worth taking some risks and suffering minor injuries. Mention it."
He was not afraid of offending the other party with his words. Taiqing's Master was here for training, similar to the way of training one's heart in the world of mortals. What he said was just to provide the other party with a real experience of training.
