Traveling under a starry night, when Qi Guanxing arrived at the foot of Black Wind Domain Mountain, the scene in front of him was beyond his imagination.
In his impression, the Black Wind Territory was definitely a place off the beaten path for strangers. But here it was just the opposite. There were many restaurants, teahouses, and inns at the foot of the mountain, and there were even shops selling magic weapons, talismans, and elixirs.
At this time, a large number of monks had already gathered here. The forces of all parties were clearly differentiated, and they were wary of each other.
Seeing this situation, Qi Guanxing quickly figured out the reason. Although the black wind domain was terrifying, the treasures inside were too tempting.
The evil spirit surrounding the Black Wind Territory will dissipate every three to five years. During this period, it will inevitably cause a wave of treasure hunting craze. Over time, at the foot of the mountains of the Black Wind Territory, a small town will be formed in front of you.
Even though there is usually little business in the small town, once the evil spirits dissipate, every shop will make a lot of money.
The fact was beyond imagination. Qi Guanxing rubbed his eyebrows and cursed: "Damn, I was careless. My preparations were not done well!"
In order to make things easier later, Qi Guanxing planned to get a feel for the situation here and see what forces had gathered here.
After finding a deserted place, Qi Guanxing disappeared in a flash. When he reappeared, he had turned into a middle-aged fat man, and then walked into the small town at the foot of the mountain with great swagger.
At this time, the town was crowded, and the cheap inns on both sides of the streets were already full. Occasionally, a few high-end inns still had vacancies, but no one was interested because the room prices were too expensive.
There is no way, who can make the majority of the casual cultivators gathered here.
Loose cultivators have no family, no sect, no roots and no foundation. They are often the masters who have eaten the last meal but failed to finish the next meal. The spiritual stones they have saved are not enough for cultivation, and no one is willing to use them to stay in high-priced inns.
They came to the Black Wind Territory just to try their luck, so they went to the town in groups of three to five or more than a dozen people and set up tents around the town.
After walking around the perimeter, seeing that he couldn't get any useful information from these people, Qi Guanxing turned and walked towards the largest inn in the town, Rugui Tower.
But as soon as he entered the door, he was stopped by a waiter. The waiter held his hands with a smile on his face and said: "Sir, I'm really sorry, the shop is full."
Qi Guanxing frowned, raised his finger and pointed in the direction upstairs: "Don't you still have a vacant room upstairs?"
The clerk chuckled and explained: "I saw that you just arrived today, and there are some things you don't know yet. Whenever the evil spirit of the Black Wind Territory dissipates, our Rugui Building will be taken over by Tongchiqianzhuang. This is
No, their people arrived yesterday, and judging by their posture, masters will continue to arrive in the next two days."
After hearing this, Qi Guanxing thought to himself: "It came really fast!"
Thinking of this, Qi Guanxing took out a few middle-grade spiritual stones from the storage ring and put them into the hands of the clerk while others were not paying attention.
The young boy was shocked at first when he saw this, and then he stared at the spiritual stone in his hand reluctantly, wondering: "Sir, are you making things difficult for me? I am the clerk in the store, and I really have no control over the guest room.
"
Qi Guanxing raised the corner of his mouth, pushed the waiter's hand holding the spirit stone, and motioned him to put the spirit stone away first. Then he said: "I won't embarrass you. There are rooms in other inns. At worst, I will go elsewhere."
The waiter was a little confused when he heard this, and asked puzzledly: "Then what are you doing?"
Qi Guanxing smiled and said, "I want to ask you something, little brother."
After hearing this, the waiter laughed happily, put away the spirit stone and nodded repeatedly: "You can tell me if you have anything to say."
"How many people came to Tongchi Bank in total?"
The boy turned his head and glanced behind him. Seeing that no one was paying attention to them, he lowered his voice and said, "One hundred and two people came yesterday, but judging from what they were chatting about, there will probably be another hundred or so people coming today."
Qi Guanxing frowned and muttered: "What a big gesture!"
Although the voice was small, the waiter heard it clearly. He took two steps forward and said mysteriously: "Who said otherwise? Not only did they come this time, they were all experts! According to my observation, there is no such thing.
Under the period of transcending tribulation.”
After hearing this, Qi Guanxing was amused in his heart, and said to himself: "I killed all of them when they came to the transformation stage this time. It would be weird if there are some who are under the tribulation stage."
He wanted to think about it, but he heard some other meanings from the clerk's words, so he wondered: "Listen to what the little brother just said, there were not so many people who came to the Black Wind Territory before Tongchi Qianzhuang?"
The clerk nodded: "Isn't it? In the past, when the evil spirit dissipated, they would only come with a dozen people at most. Who knows what happened this time? More than two hundred people came at one time, which made us very busy for a while.
Come."
After leaving Rugui Tower, Qi Guanxing went straight to the Black Wind Inn across the street, opened a room with a window facing the street, and moved in.
In the room, Qi Guanxing looked through the window at Rugui Tower across the street. It was already lunch time, and a group of masters from the bank went down to the lobby on the first floor to eat.
Then they saw an old man, a young man and Feng Xiaotian, surrounded by experts, sitting in the seats of the guests of honor. It can be seen that the status of the old man and the young man in the Tongzhi Bank should not be low, and they must be the lowest.
He is on the same level as Feng Xiaotian.
Because the distance was too far, Qi Guanxing couldn't hear what they were talking about, but the abnormal behavior of Tongzhi Bank was not a good thing. With so many masters coming at one time, they either had full confidence or were planning to make a desperate move.
But either of these two things is not a good thing for Qi Guanxing.
Qi Guanxing thought to himself: "I just heard from the innkeeper that according to the current situation, it will take at least half a month for the evil spirit of the Black Wind Territory to completely dissipate. During this period, we must find some way to disrupt Tongchi.
The banker’s plan will work, even if it distracts them, it’s good.”
Just as he was thinking about countermeasures, a transmission note in the storage ring sent out mana fluctuations.
When I took it out and looked at it, I couldn't help but feel a headache.
In the transmission note, there was a message from Zhang Hongda. The content probably said that the heads of the seven major sects had already gone to the Alchemy Sect, and Zhang Hongda told them about the immortal transfer.
However, these guys have another purpose in going to the Alchemy Sect, which is to join forces and hunt for treasures while the evil spirit of the Black Wind Territory dissipates.
The reason for this is also very simple. Those sects had lost a lot of spiritual stones because of the Yuan Qi Sect's crowdfunding, and then they were severely extorted by Qi Guanxing. Now they can't make ends meet, so they plan to go to the Black Wind Territory.
Try your luck.
However, Danzong was so rich that Zhang Hongda did not dare to take risks, so he rejected their invitation. After these people left, Zhang Hongda, who knew that Qi Guanxing was already in the Black Wind Territory, hurriedly passed the news to him and asked him to prepare in advance.
