Just as Chen Taizhong was looking around, footsteps sounded.
He looked sideways and saw a middle-aged man turning from a small road. His steps were neither hasty nor slow, giving people the feeling of Yue Zhiyuan Ting, indescribably calm and graceful.
The man is not tall, about 1.7 meters tall, with a very well-proportioned figure, a dark complexion and an ordinary face. He is the type who would not attract anyone's attention if thrown into a crowd.
But just such a person, standing in front of Chen Taizhong, brought him a bit of pressure - not the aura released by the other party, but an indescribable aura.
The man looked him up and down and asked in a deep voice, "Chen Taizhong?"
Chen Taizhong nodded, thought about it, and asked tentatively, "Intermediate heavenly immortal?"
"It's really not a loss." The middle-aged man twitched the corner of his mouth. He knew that the other party was using rhetorical questions to keep his momentum from being taken away.
However, this little trick was not in the eyes of a middle-level immortal like him. In fact, in his eyes, the little guy's persistence not only seemed ridiculous, but also very childish. He didn't like such an arrogant person.
He nodded nonchalantly, "Well, I just want to see who took the identity jade token I gave away and used it."
"It turns out that it's Nanguo City Lord in person," Chen Taizhong cupped his hands and replied sternly, "Thank you very much, City Lord, for your kindness. However, I accepted this love from Nante. If Nanguo City Lord has anything to say, please just give me your instructions."
With this status, of course he couldn't receive favors from two people at the same time, so his attitude was very clear - just tell me. If you need help with anything.
The Lord of Nanguo City definitely didn't issue a blue alert just to take a look at him. Otherwise, he was discovered when he came to Wangquan City before, so why wait until now?
However, if the other party's request is not difficult to fulfill, he doesn't mind doing a small favor.
Nan Guo Junrong nodded slightly, but looking at his absent-minded look, I really don't know if he heard what Chen Taizhong said.
The next moment, he asked in a deep voice. "Did you really defeat Zheng Renhu?"
"Zheng Renhu..." Chen Taizhong frowned. He was very unfamiliar with this name. The next moment, he tentatively asked, "That third-level immortal of the Zheng family?"
The Lord of Nanguo City nodded slightly.
"I couldn't beat him," Chen Taizhong shook his head and answered bluntly. But he didn't forget to add, "But he couldn't do anything to me, so he left... I stayed in Qingshi for a month before I left with confidence.
"
I have done my best to your nephew Nantes.
"Well," Nan Guo Junrong nodded. Hearing the little guy directly admit that he couldn't beat him, he was not disappointed. On the contrary, he felt that his words were credible - if you, a guy who has only been promoted for four years, can beat a third-level immortal, even if
No matter how much Nanguote tries to stop you, I can't stop others from taking you to Nanguo's house.
In fact, Chen Taizhong's rocket-like upgrade speed is not only coveted by the Zheng family, but also a great temptation for the Nanguo family.
However, Nante strongly opposed this, saying that this person practiced ancient Qi cultivation methods, and Nanguo Junrong loved his nephew very much. At the same time, he also had the arrogance of the Nanguo family - my family's Qigong method is not bad either.
The next moment, he put away these thoughts, "Since you are in Wangquan City, why do you want to live in Dragon Scale?"
Chen Taizhong smiled and said, "Because my real name is Chen Taizhong. Living here, I'm afraid it will bring unnecessary trouble to the city lord."
Nanguo Junrong pondered again and then asked, "Why don't you participate in Longlin's business group discussion?"
"Business group meeting?" Chen Taizhong repeated in surprise, and then shook his head blankly, "I haven't heard about this. I don't live in Longlin... I just live in Tingfeng Town."
"It's his son's first birthday, didn't you go?" Nan Guo Junrong explained, "That's the business group meeting... Longlin City wants to form a business group leading to Zhongzhou."
It turns out that the Lord of Longlin City invited everyone to the banquet because he wanted to gather the top combat power of Longlin, form a business group, and obtain official authorization to trade in Zhongzhou.
Chen Taizhong looked a little dazed when he heard this. If he had known that we were discussing this matter, it would be okay for me to go there. He didn't intend to go to Zhongzhou to make any money, he just wanted to be convenient.
Seeing his appearance, Nan Guo Junrong snorted with dissatisfaction, "Wangquan also wants to trade with Zhongzhou, can Longlin compete with Wangquan? He thinks that with the tacit approval of the county governor, he can defeat Wangquan.
, little did they know that it was just a joke.”
Chen Taizhong nodded confusedly, "I understand, but...does it have anything to do with me?"
"You are from Wangquan, so you didn't participate. That's good." Nanguo City Lord nodded, "Wangquan also plans to organize such a caravan. Are you interested in joining?"
He didn't know much about Zheng Renhu's combat prowess. There were more than twenty immortals in the Zheng family, and it was impossible for him to know them all. But the fact that the little guy could carry a third-level immortal was enough to show his strength and potential.
For such a person, even if Nanguo Junrong is a fourth-level immortal, he still has the intention to win over him vigorously.
Chen Taizhong thought about it, and considering that the other party was Nante's uncle, he told the truth, "Join...Actually, I just want to come and go freely, and I am not very interested in earning spiritual stones."
"There are many people who think like you," Nan Guo Junrong grinned disapprovingly, "As a cultivator, you want to be unfettered, but there are no rules."
"Then I really don't have much interest in this," Chen Taizhong shook his head. Going to Zhongzhou from Dongmang is not difficult at all. It's just a matter of checking the storage bag. If it doesn't work, I can just endure it and get over it——
At worst, don't put important things in the storage bag, just go empty-handed.
"How about...you join my Nanguo family's caravan," Nanguo Junrong glanced at him, "The price is that you hang a memorial at my Nanguo family, and then the Blood Sand Marquis will not dare to trouble you again.
"
Honestly speaking, this is a rare and good condition. Xingsha Nanguo is a titled family, and there is a Jade Immortal in the family. Even if a middle-level heavenly immortal comes to seek refuge, nine times out of ten, he will be a guest. If you want to worship, you must at least be a high-level heavenly immortal.
As for Chen Taizhong's true cultivation level, he was only a sixth-level immortal. Even if he had the ability to deal with a third-level immortal, being a guest would still be considered a favor, and he would not have to think about making offerings to him.
Nanguo Junrong is so attracted to him because he is optimistic about his development potential. Of course, it is also due to Nantes' face factor - if the Nanguo family has offerings to support the Lord of Qingshi City, Nantes' life will be much easier.
At this moment, Chen Taizhong felt a little moved. He had been living like a lonely ghost, and the pain and suffering during this period were really not worthy of being explained to outsiders. This was the tribute of the titled family.
However, in the end, he still endured it forcefully. Mr. Chen did not like to be restrained, and worshiping someone did not mean there would be less trouble. To serve others, you must obey others.
He preferred to live an unrestrained life, so he smiled and shook his head, "Thank you very much, Lord Nanguo, for your love. I still want to go out on my own...and I still have some things to take care of."
"You can also take care of things after making offerings," Nanguo Junrong was obviously a little disapproving, but the next moment, he still waved his hand, "Forget it, the main thing today is to see you and go about your business."
He has lost interest in recruiting Chen Taizhong. This guy really doesn't know what to do.
However, there are still people in the Nanguo family who have contact with this person, and that is enough.
Chen Taizhong was also a little confused about the result of the summons, but considering that Nan Guo Junrong was Nan Te's uncle, he had nothing to worry about.
Besides, worry...is it okay to worry?
Seriously, the manor in Tingfeng Town has been known to too many people, and it seems that it can no longer be kept secret, so it is probably inevitable to change the place next - Scar will be very happy to know about it.
Another day later, after being fully prepared, he stepped into the teleportation array in advance. It was better to arrive early. Moreover, the feeling of teleportation was not very pleasant. It was good to rest for a day to recuperate.
Unexpectedly, he arrived a day early, and someone from the Xie family was guarding the teleportation array. It was none other than Xie Minghu, who was promoted to Spirit Immortal last time.
After Xie Minghu met him, one can imagine his enthusiasm. After accompanying him around Meishui City, he led him to the residence of the Xie family in Sanxi Town outside the city.
Two days later, the disciples from Bai Yao Valley came to Meishui, and Xie Mingxian took Chen Taizhong there.
Everyone met outside the city. A man and a woman came to Baiyao Valley this time. The man was a fifth-level spirit fairy, and the woman was an acquaintance of Chen Taizhong, the eldest lady of the Lei family, Lei Xiaozhu.
However, Lei Xiaozhu has obviously encountered something unexpected recently. The last time she was a level 3 spirit fairy, this time she is a level 4 spirit fairy.
In addition to these two, there are three masters invited by outsiders. Two of them are spiritual immortals from the Du family and Feng family in this city. One is Feng Hua, a sixth-level spiritual immortal. It is said that he is worshiped by the Feng family and changed his surname to Feng.
The Du family's spirit fairy is called Du Chunhui, a seventh-level spirit fairy. I don't know how old he is, but he looks very young. He is also serious and a little arrogant.
There is another one, introduced by the chief of the guard of the county governor's house, the sixth-level spiritual immortal Zhuo Wenxiu. She is a female cultivator, with an ordinary appearance and not very talkative. She introduces herself as - good at identifying herbal medicines.
Compared with the three of them, Chen Taizhong's background is a bit less prominent. Kong Lingjian, the male cultivator of Bai Yao Valley, frowned, "This friend Chen, can you show your true cultivation level?"
Chen Taizhong was forced to have no choice but to slightly upgrade himself to the fourth level of Lingxian, "Is that enough?"
Kong Lingjian pursed his lips and said nothing, but looking at his expression, it was clear that he was saying: Your cultivation level is so unsatisfactory, but you still insist on practicing Qi Condensation. You really don't know what you are pretending to be.
The next step is to negotiate the price. Du Chunhui said without hesitation, "I have already negotiated the appearance fee with Brother Lingjian. I just want to emphasize that I hope you will not interfere with the opponent I am optimistic about."
This is not to say that he plans to put in a lot of effort. In fact, there are many spiritual beasts in the Hengduan Mountains, and he does not want others to steal the monsters.
Zhuo Wenxiu and Feng Hua had nothing to express. Each of them asked for three spiritual coins. In fact, the appearance fee is still a small thing. The key is to see the harvest.
However, when Chen Taizhong said that I wanted five yuan for the spiritual appearance fee, the two of them had not spoken yet. Du Chunhui stopped talking, "He is a fourth-level spiritual immortal. Do you know your own cultivation level?"
