Jiang Li and several senior officials of Chongshan League walked into a magnificent white building.
It is located in the core area of the entire city. When you walk here, it is obvious that there are many monks, but even the air begins to become quiet.
Basically no one dares to make a loud noise here.
Due to the different time scales between monks and mortals, the events that come to the Si Temple are all major events, and ordinary forces may not encounter them once in decades.
Therefore, the hall is quite empty and there is no need to queue.
Jiang Li took a look at the lobby on the first floor. Even a floor tile was made of quite expensive spiritual jade material. Even the other objects, including tables, chairs and benches, had reached the level of magic weapons.
It's the kind of level where you can knock off a flying sword by swinging a bench.
This temple is simply more prosperous than the scene where the burial coffins were paved with spiritual stones.
"Hiss, if these pillars are turned into magic weapons, it is not impossible to achieve the Earth Level!"
An elder couldn't help but exclaimed in surprise.
Only then did Jiang Li realize that what supported the entire Si Temple were three jade pillars that looked like mutton-fat white jade.
After taking a look, even he was surprised.
The material of the pillar is of a very high grade. If you knock off a piece from the top, you can create a ground-level coffin nail for the burial coffin.
But that wasn't what surprised him.
It is the pattern on the three jade pillars, which are cloud pattern, Yan pattern and wave pattern.
And Jiang Li had seen that strange cloud pattern not long ago.
After temporarily suppressing their thoughts, they came to an empty counter.
"Hello!"
The female cultivator behind the counter also has the aura of a monk in the elixir formation stage.
After seeing Jiang Li, he said hello with a professional smile.
"On behalf of the Chongshan Alliance, I want to join the Si Shen Shen Temple and come here to apply for a defensive area."
Jiang Li directly stated his purpose of coming.
"The Temple of Si welcomes you to join us."
After hearing Jiang Li's request, the smile on the female cultivator's face became more obvious. The situation in the war zone has been tense recently, and several sects have suddenly died for unknown reasons. Now is the time when new blood is urgently needed to join.
"Please show me the token of your Chongshan Alliance."
Jiang Li untied his Chongshan Alliance Leader's Order and handed it over.
The female cultivator reached out to take it, placed the Order of Alliance Leader on a white stone slab, and began to record the identification information of the Order of Alliance Leader.
"Please tell me what kind of environment you are good at fighting in, and we will try our best to arrange suitable terrain."
"If your sect plans to apply for a medium-sized or larger area, you can also give priority to the remaining defensive stations. Here are the topographic maps of several defensive stations. You can take a look first."
The female cultivator worked quickly behind the counter to verify the situation of Chongshan League, and then handed a stack of cowhide drawings to Jiang Li.
Jiang Li took it, glanced at it, and handed the drawing to the senior executive behind him.
The stations on the drawing are all along the coast of the Eastern Territory. The fake noodle monsters that require the entire Eastern Territory to unite to fight against each other should, not surprisingly, come from the sea.
These vacant locations were the sects that had participated in the war but were eventually destroyed.
This kind of station is only born for war and has almost no production capacity. However, as long as the stacked formation is repaired, the defensive performance is indeed good!
It's just that the size of medium-sized areas is three to five times that of small areas. Although you can get a good foothold at the beginning by applying for these areas, the pressure you bear will also increase greatly.
Jiang Li and the others actually had their goals already.
He has the Qian Ji Spirit Ball in his hand, and the machine city left behind after the Momen was destroyed should be the most suitable choice for them among many areas.
In addition, guarding the medium-shaped area can accumulate merit faster even though the pressure is greater.
Now Dazhongshan can't wait too long.
"Guys, this is your merit token. Please go and station it within seven days. From now on, you only need to take the troll's visor to the local Si Temple headquarters to redeem it for the merit medal."
Jiang Li nodded. Si Shen Shen's work was very efficient, or it could be said that the female cultivator was afraid that Jiang Li would regret it.
The procedure was completed directly and as quickly as possible.
Jiang Li took the merit plaque. Different from Momen's plaque, the number on it was a bare zero.
The awkward part here lies in this. If the Chongshan Alliance already has around 500,000 merits, then transferring the merits will not be a big problem.
But for this bare zero, we have to obtain 630,000 merits through annexation.
This is undoubtedly an abnormal situation and will attract a lot of attention. Even if they have a Mo disciple to testify, it will take a long time to review.
After putting away the merit card, Jiang Li suddenly asked the female cultivator behind the counter.
"Girl, may I ask, what do the cloud patterns, flame patterns and wave patterns on the pillars mean?"
The female cultivator behind the counter glanced at the pillar Jiang Li was pointing to and immediately understood what she meant.
"Well, it's normal that you don't know."
"Those are the three major pillars of our temple, Yunfu, Yanchao and Haigong. They have not been born for a long time, so few young monks today know about them."
"But they are the three pillars that have been protecting our Eastern Immortal Cultivation World for thousands of years."
When the female cultivators talked about these three organizations, their expressions showed admiration.
Only then did Jiang Li know that there were three major divine pillars above the superior Si Shen forces in the Si Temple.
If that's the case, doesn't that token come from the Yun Mansion?
It's just unclear what the specific function is and how the people in the Yun Mansion paid attention to him.
After sitting at the tea table in the hall for a while, I waited until the time agreed upon in advance before walking into the hall dedicated to handling meritorious matters.
It was just time for the staff inside to change shifts.
The original young monk left and was replaced by a monk who looked like a fat middle-aged woman.
After reaching the foundation, the monks have the ability to adjust their body appearance to a certain extent.
Therefore, unless you practice some special skills, monks like this image are still relatively rare.
"Your Excellency, you must be Mrs. Yu. We were introduced by Shopkeeper Jiang."
After the others left, Jiang Li stepped forward and said.
The monk's ears were working very well. The fat female monk obviously heard it, but she drooped her eyes and was busy flipping through the papers on the table. It seemed that she had no time to look at Jiang Li and the others.
Everyone in the Chongshan Alliance exchanged glances with each other, and finally an elder stepped forward and placed ten middle-grade spiritual stones on the opponent's counter.
The obese monk named Mrs. Yu glanced at the spiritual stone on the table from the corner of her eyes, put it away skillfully, and then reluctantly raised her head to look at everyone.
"You are that small force called the Chongshan Alliance? Lao Jiang told me, what do you want to do with me?"
This person's attitude is quite bad, but at present he has something to ask for, and it is impossible to take action in the Si Temple, so he can only endure it for the time being.
"Our Chongshan Alliance has recently joined a new ally. We hope to combine the achievements of both of us and make our Chongshan Alliance the main one."
"I heard from Shopkeeper Jiang that Mrs. Yu is reliable in her work. I hope I can help you a little bit. I will give you a generous gift afterwards."
Jiang Li stepped forward and placed two merit plaques on the counter.
Madam Nayu glanced at it again, and after noticing the numbers on the merit plate, her small eyes suddenly narrowed.
She placed the token on a special stone slab and soon learned the sect it belonged to.
The matter in Momen is not a small one. How could this obese female monk not know the truth?
My fingers tapped lightly on the counter, not knowing what I was thinking.
After a moment, he looked up.
"This matter is not easy to handle."
She used the professional term for asking for bribes, which means wanting to raise the price.
"You tell me the number, and we will try to make up for you."
The foreign affairs elder then stepped forward and handed over another pack of spiritual stones, which was filled with powerful spiritual energy fluctuations. This time, it contained high-grade spiritual stones.
This small bag represents half a million low-grade spiritual stones!
Mrs. Yu pointed her fingers and then continued tapping on the table.
Apparently it means it's not enough.
Jiang Li's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot. He stood behind and the foreign affairs elder with the best psychological quality stepped forward to negotiate.
One bag, and another bag, a total of one hundred and fifty high-grade spiritual stones were placed on the table.
This number is enough to buy several good things at Wanyanglou auction house.
But Mrs. Yu still had no intention of letting go.
The foreign affairs elder was hesitating when Jiang Li stepped forward and held the foreign affairs elder's hand.
"Mrs. Yu, we are a small family in the Chongshan League, so we don't have to worry about it."
As he spoke, a ray of breath escaped, and he was about to retrieve three packs of spiritual stones and two merit cards.
The obese middle-aged woman reached out and held down the spirit stone and token at this moment.
She glanced sideways at Jiang Li, then took all the things back into her arms.
"Leave it to me and pick it up in seven days."
After she finished speaking, she started waving her hands to drive people out.
"Mrs. Yu, the process of this matter shouldn't be long. The Momen's token elders are all here. How about we do it today to avoid long nights and dreams?"
Jiang Li frowned. After receiving such a huge sum of money, the other party still had to wait for another seven days.
"Don't you believe me? Just do whatever I say!"
Mrs. Yu's fat body began to release an aura, but to the senior officials of the Chongshan League, this aura was nothing at all.
They were still standing where they were.
Although he didn't say anything, his meaning was obvious. Are we familiar with each other? Why should I believe you?
After a moment of silence, she changed her eyes and calmed down her momentum.
"Give me the token as well, wait outside for two hours, and then come to me again."
After two hours, Chongshan League and others could barely accept this result.
Although I preferred that the other party could do it on the spot, I still agreed, walked outside the office, and waited quietly.
It's just that when Jiang Li left the merit office, he inadvertently touched his hair.
A piece of tough hair fell down and got stuck in the crack of the door.
The hall door is closed, completely isolating the sound from inside and outside.
Jiang Li sat on the chair on the tea table in the hall, still feeling a little worried.
The so-called Mrs. Yu's cultivation is actually very average, and she only has the strength of Xudan level.
But it is said that she has a good husband and a good son, so she got such a good job in Si Shen Shen.
Due to the status and strength of those two people, as long as she didn't do too much, no one would care about her.
Therefore, over the years, she has used her power for personal gain, deliberately hindering the affairs of other sects and asking for spiritual stones and treasures.
Continuous success made her more and more bold and unscrupulous.
These are nothing, even if they are defrauded of 1.5 million spiritual stones, they have to endure this, at least after joining the Si Shen Temple.
But looking at the fat woman's expression, Jiang Li always felt a little uneasy.
He sat on a chair and closed his eyes to meditate.
The Avalokitesvara Heart Sutra has quietly started to work.
The world of hearing gradually covered all his senses, until reaching a certain limit, it was as if his soul had left his body and left his body.
In the Si Temple, if you use active detection methods such as spiritual detection, you will be discovered immediately.
But Jiang Li only strengthened his hearing and passively received the sound, so that he would not be easily discovered by others.
His voice perspective moved quickly, and he soon arrived at the door of the Meritorious Service Office just now, but was blocked by this soundproof door.
Fortunately, Jiang Li was prepared. The hair stuck in the middle was not cut off, and weak vibrations could still be transmitted through it.
The sound perspective followed this hair and entered the office. Everything inside was very blurry. That was because there were too few sounds that could be reorganized.
"I...have...a big deal...it's time...those idiots are still...waiting...three million...hurry up..."
Intermittent sounds came, making Jiang Li's anger surge up.
Human greed will never disappoint people.
That monk who looks like a fat middle-aged woman is planning to eat both ends.
Here, they collected the spiritual stones from the Chongshan Alliance and stopped doing the work. They then changed hands and tried to sell the 630,000 merits to others through illegal operations that they were good at.
She felt that with her status, it was a done deal as long as she didn't admit it, and a small force with bad luck couldn't do anything to her.
As long as one changes hands, 1.5 million can become 4.5 million, so why not?
"Hmph! That... boy from the Chong... alliance... is so disrespectful to... face. This is also... their little punishment."
After putting down the communication stone, the fat Mrs. Yu actually found an excuse for herself.
But if Jiang Li didn't stop him at that time, the result now would be to take away three million spiritual stones and then be taken away for seven days.
By the time they come looking for you, they may not even be able to see this person in person!
Shopkeeper Jiang is right, this guy's appetite is really big enough.
Jiang Li lifted the Guanyin Heart Sutra and came back to his senses, and then walked up to the female nun who was applying for the war zone for them.
Then he took out the cloud pattern token from the storage bag, waved his hand to undo all the seals, and put it on the counter.
