Jiang Li threw the dead fish, which was already smelly, into a small river at the outer gate of the Buddhist Scripture Valley, and then found Yan Hong, who was stationed in the trading area.
Please Yan Hong, let his two disciples go to Shengxian Pavilion again, in addition to buying some basic spiritual elixirs and talismans that are not available in the Sutra Valley.
At the same time, we also inquired about the current situation of the albino scale demon and the location of the scale demon tribe at that time.
Regarding the spiritual root seed, Jiang Li had no intention of testing the poison himself. He could only do this for the time being, and put the somewhat damaged and shriveled spiritual root seed into the coffin and put it aside.
Yan Hong still looks the same fat and naive person as before, but his business is said to be doing well recently. He has gained some fame in the outer sect and has started to receive a steady amount of spiritual stones.
Not much though.
After readily acceding to Jiang Li's request, Yan Hong suddenly pulled him aside and whispered solemnly.
"Jiang Li, did you and Yu Banxia get a lot of spiritual stones from this mission?"
"It can't be completely regarded as a mission. Some unexpected situations occurred and it was a reward given by the sect."
Jiang Li said this.
After all, they all received those spiritual stones from the Outer Sect Affairs Hall, without going through the process of the Outer Sect Mission Area at all. It can be said that they are completely rewards from the sect.
As for that task, it's hard to say whether it was completed by them or not.
"Oh, you guys were so careless, someone saw you while you were receiving the spirit stones!"
Yan Hong's round faces were squeezed together, looking very worried.
"So what if we are seen? There are so many people coming and going in the Outer Gate Hall every day. It would be difficult for us not to be seen."
Jiang Li acted very indifferent. It couldn't be some golden elixir boss who sent him hundreds of spiritual stones to hunt him down.
"Oh, you don't know. Now the whole outer sect has spread the news that you are lucky enough to have a windfall and that you can have thousands of spiritual stones. There are many jealous people."
Hearing what Yan Hong said, Jiang Li suddenly remembered that there seemed to be many people talking about similar topics along the way, but he didn't pay attention at the time.
Now he was shocked. It had only been a few hours. How could such breaking news spread so quickly?
"Jealous? We can indeed have two thousand spirit stones in total, but what can they do to us? New disciples are protected by the sect in their first year."
Seeing that Jiang Li remained unmoved, Yan Hong became even more anxious.
"Why aren't you worried? Today, for some unknown reason, two thousand new disciples suddenly joined the outer sect. Many people said that our group of disciples are already old disciples, and the sect will no longer take extra care of them."
"And even if they don't dare to do anything openly now, what about a year from now? Don't we still have to stay outside?"
Jiang Li then remembered that Yan Hong had not yet broken through the middle stage of Qi training.
For an ordinary high-grade spiritual root, it is normal for him to stay in the outer sect for three to five years. Now it is completely normal for him to have such worries.
"I forgot to tell you, brother, I'm already in the middle stage of Qi training. I'll wait two months for the outer sect competition before I bow to the inner sect. I'll protect you from now on."
Jiang Li only revealed that he had broken through the middle stage of Qi training when he was on a mission, so Yan Hong didn't know about it yet.
"Okay, okay, you protect me. From now on, you must be careful about one person. He just recently broke through to the late stage of Qi training. He is worried that he has no goal of collecting the poll tax. We all... Wait, what did you just say?
?”
Yan Hong obviously didn't listen to what Jiang Li said at first, and was talking to himself before suddenly reacting.
"Are you in the middle stage of Qi training!? Are you a high-grade spiritual root or am I a high-grade spiritual root? I..."
Until Jiang Li left, Yan Hong was still in disbelief and doubting his life. Even the threat from a certain outer sect brother was forgotten by him.
I think the blow of "my friend came first in the exam" will make him work harder in his future cultivation.
To be honest, Yan Hong's previous help saved Jiang Li a lot of trouble.
Jiang Li actually hoped that Yan Hong could continue to help him in the future.
Even as a businessman, he does not need high levels of cultivation and strength.
But just like in the previous life, even if you were a salesperson, you would call yourself a sales manager. Without a certain identity, it would be difficult for others to listen to you seriously.
In the world of immortality, cultivation is the first indicator of status.
Just like Fuzhong of Shengxian Pavilion, he basically handles all the big and small matters in the Dazhongshan branch. His management is also as excellent and sophisticated as a textbook. Yan Hong talks about it every day and learns and worships him.
However, just because he is in the foundation-building stage, the best he can do is be a deacon, and even if the main branches of the branch offices are constantly replacing him, it will never be his turn.
At the very least, Yan Hong must reach the elixir formation stage or something in the future, otherwise he won't be able to do well as a businessman.
As for the threats that Yan Hong mentioned, he really didn't take them to heart. If he wanted to cause trouble to him, he should first see his car's taillights.
What made him a little happy was that in the end, Yan Hong didn't ask him to borrow the spirit stone.
Although this is not a big deal, it only reflects Yan Hong's character.
He is now in the rising stage of development, and it is impossible that he does not need more spiritual stone turnover. He can bear the thought of not taking a piece of the pie, which is very important for their future relationship as friends.
....
After leaving the trading area, Jiang Li went straight to the inner gate.
After showing the token in his hand, Jiang Li went to the sect's main Tibetan Scripture Pavilion again.
And this token was the advice given to him by Elder Weng Sanqi.
It is said that it is an extremely rare opportunity related to the foundation of the sect.
Although all inner sect disciples will receive such a token when they first join the sect, they are all one-time use. If they want to get it again, they can only accumulate a large amount of sect contribution points before redeeming it.
.
Jiang Li chose to give up joining the inner sect directly and choose such a token instead, in order to enjoy this benefit again in the future.
We arrived at the Sutra Pavilion with ease. Elder Li of the Sutra Pavilion was sitting at the door, holding a small jar of wine and enjoying life.
"Elder Li."
Jiang Li stepped forward and bowed his hands.
"Well, the old rule is to find exercises and techniques, go in and pick your own."
Elder Li's work attitude in this Sutra Pavilion is always so casual and uninhibited. He basically turns this Sutra Pavilion into a buffet. As long as you pay enough spiritual stones, you can do whatever you want.
"Elder, I want to go to the Sutra Hall!"
Jiang Li wanted something else this time. He spread out his hand, put the small token in his palm, and showed it to the other party.
Elder Li finally raised his drooped eyelids and looked at the token.
With a move of his hand, the token automatically flew into the opponent's hand. Elder Li used his secret method to carefully check it for a while before nodding.
"That's right, it's the token from the Sutra Hall. Haha, boy, you're lucky. It's rare for an outer disciple to get this thing. Come with me."
Elder Li had obviously forgotten who Jiang Li was for a long time. After taking a look at his outer disciple's clothes, he was a little surprised.
But without saying anything else, he led Jiang Li into the Sutra Pavilion, then opened a hidden trap door, and a stone staircase appeared on the ground.
In the faint light, they walked all the way down.
As the depth increases, the air gradually takes on the flavor of ancient times.
The stone walls of the passage are crisscrossed with sword marks and ravines, as if someone once fought a great battle here.
Finally, at the end of the passage, the field of vision widened again. With Jiang Li's eyesight, he could already see a dilapidated hall standing in the wide underground space in the dim light of the night pearl.
