Chapter five hundred and ninety seventh: a familiar and unfamiliar world
People were coming and going near the pier. Wang Pingyuan looked at Yan Ling sincerely and asked, "Fellow Daoist Yan really don't plan to come to my Wang family to talk?"
Before he knew Yan Ling's true strength, Wang Pingyuan had the intention to recruit. Later, when the Evil Dragon Gang attacked the Wang family ship, he saw Yan Ling's unstoppable strength with his own eyes, and his desire to recruit was natural.
It also became more intense.
Wang Pingyuan has enough reasons to believe that as long as Yan Ling accepts their Wang family's offering, their Wang family's business at sea will definitely reach a higher level.
In this day and age, maritime trade is a truly lucrative way to make a fortune.
Even if the imperial court is rich in the world, its treasury is mostly sufficient because of the developed maritime trade, which can support the various policies of the imperial court.
Although the Wang family is not the top group of maritime merchants, their scale is not too small, and their annual profits are enough to move people's hearts. If they can reach a higher level, the Wang family will also be able to become a wealthy family.
It's a pity that Yan Ling didn't have this idea. He smiled and said: "No, this time I go out to the mountain, but I want to see the world. If I have ideas in the future, I will naturally come to bother you!"
Wang Pingyuan could only shake his head with regret, and then laughed and said: "Then it's settled, the door of our Wang family will be open to Fellow Daoist Yan at any time!"
"Thank you again, Master Wang, for your kindness. See you soon!"
Yan Ling bowed his hands and said goodbye, and then walked off the Wang family ship under the disappointed eyes of Wang Pingyuan and all the Wang family worshipers. Within a short time, he disappeared into the dense flow of people.
"Second Master, are you sorry for the departure of fellow Taoist Yan?"
Seeing Wang Pingyuan's eyes fixed on the crowds near the pier, Taoist Lingxu smiled lightly and said: "Actually, fellow Taoist Yan did not accept the Wang family's offering, which is also a good thing for the Wang family."
"How do you say this?" Wang Pingyuan turned his head and looked at Taoist Lingxu.
Taoist Lingxu slowly expressed his opinion: "Judging from the power of Fellow Taoist Yan's action that day, his cultivation strength is at least that of a strong man in the realm of Lianxu Hedao. The cultivation materials that such a strong man usually needs are not enough.
This is a big burden for the Wang family!"
"If Fellow Daoist Yan accepts the enshrinement of the Wang family, then the Wang family's wealth will inevitably be consumed at an extremely exaggerated speed. Otherwise, the Wang family will have collapsed before it has even developed!"
After thinking carefully for a while, Wang Pingyuan discovered that what Taoist Lingxu said was true. He had been wandering at sea for many years, so he naturally knew how terrible the consumption of cultivation resources by those advanced practitioners was.
Even though the Wang family has a good family background, if they really want to enshrine a strong man like Yan Ling, I'm afraid there will still be some difficulties.
Thinking of this, Wang Pingyuan no longer regretted Yan Ling's departure. He came to his senses and immediately began to direct the Wang family to count and move the materials on the ship.
...
"This world is really familiar yet strange at the same time!"
After Yan Ling left the Wang family ship, he did not stay away immediately. Instead, he sat down in a tavern near the dock. He looked out the window at the bustling scene of people coming and going, but he was thinking about the people in the Wang family.
The information learned about the world.
First of all, the world he is currently in is ruled by the imperial court, and the name of this imperial court is still familiar to him, namely the Song Dynasty.
Judging from various information from Wang Pingyuan, the Song Dynasty at this time should have reached the stage of the Southern Song Dynasty, the Jingkang Revolution had ended, Gaozong Zhao Gou was in charge of the government, and there were several famous people in the court, such as Qin Hui and Yue Fei.
Judging from this information, this world is undoubtedly very similar to the Song Dynasty in Yan Ling's impression. Even the previous dynasties were three emperors and five emperors, and the strong Han Dynasty prospered the Tang Dynasty.
However, judging from other information, this world is completely different from the Song Dynasty in Yan Ling's impression.
For example, there are all kinds of practitioners emerging in this world. Not to mention the extraordinary martial arts of generals such as Yue Fei, even civil servants like Qin Hui also have extraordinary cultivation.
According to Wang Pingyuan, even if the ministers of the imperial court cannot coerce the world, they can control the wind and rain.
There are still masters and strong men from various major sects in the world, especially now that the imperial court respects Taoism, which has led to the emergence of Taoist holy places in the world, and each Taoist master intimidates the world.
But these are not what surprises Yan Ling the most. What surprises Yan Ling the most is that there is a heaven in this world.
Yes, among the people in the Wang family, Yan Ling knew that there was a court in the world that ruled thousands of miles of land, but in the sky it was the heaven that controlled the stars.
Even ordinary people know that the greatest person in this world is not the emperor, but the Great Heavenly Lord who rules the three realms!
“I just don’t know what kind of existence this person in heaven is!”
Yan Ling understood that the heaven in this world could not be the heaven he thought, otherwise he would not have come to this world.
Maybe the heaven in this world is just like the Netherworld in the world he went to before, it is just a projection of the heavens of the real Netherworld. In this way, the famous immortals in the projection of the heaven will naturally not be so scary.
.
But even so, Yan Ling did not dare to underestimate the existence of Heavenly Court. Let's not talk about whether Heavenly Court is really a projection. Even if it is a projection, even if the immortals inside do not have the terrifying cultivation of the original body, they are genuine immortal beings.
Celestial beings, mysterious beings, golden beings, or even more terrifying beings, these are the beings that Yan Ling must not provoke at this time.
And there is another point that Yan Ling is worried about now. He has not forgotten about meeting Ancestor Meng Po in the Netherworld projection.
Since Po Meng was able to step out of the illusion, it would be natural for those real bosses to cast their gaze out of the projection.
If one accidentally encounters the true form of the ancient power, Yan Ling really has no room for resistance with his strength!
"I hope my luck won't be so bad!"
Thinking of this, Yan Ling could not help but feel a little melancholy, but he was not too worried. After all, he was not a backer. If those powerful people bullied the small ones, Yan Ling did not believe that the ancestors behind him would stand idly by.
As long as he doesn't go too far, even if those big guys discover his existence, they will only turn a blind eye or close one.
But then again, with Yan Ling's current strength, it is really impossible to be in the eyes of those big guys. Even if Yan Ling wants to attract the attention of those big guys, it is not very possible.
"It's still a matter of strength!"
Yan Ling's eyes flickered, and he had a more urgent need to improve his strength.
And this world will definitely improve his strength even more. Among other things, the number of powerful people in this world and various classics will become Yan Ling's further resources.
"Then the next step is to find an opportunity to join the army!"
After thinking about half the salary, Yan Ling decided that when his strength was not enough to conquer the world, he would first join the army to temper himself. He believed that in this powerful world, there must be many strong people in the army.
Being tempered by the evil spirit generated by the countless strong men in the army fighting against each other has great benefits for both his martial arts will and his bloodline.
However, just when Yan Ling had just made up his mind, a mysterious message suddenly rose from the depths of his consciousness.
