In fact, Lin Muhu originally wanted the lion to open his mouth and offered a price of 100,000 spiritual stone coins per year.
But this number does sound a bit outrageous. It is almost close to the appearance fee of a Golden Core monk. Even Fei Fan, the former second-in-command of the Mountain Eagle Sect, may not have this level of income every year. He is also worried that the price is too high.
When it came to Li Qingning, he swallowed the offer at the last moment.
This time Li Qingning did not reply immediately, but asked: "Is this all your conditions?"
"And you also want to help conceal our identity!" Lin Muhu couldn't understand Li Qingning's attitude, so he had to bite the bullet and continue to make demands. However, because he was worried that Yang Lu and Li Qingning would think he was too open-minded, he continued to add: "Cultivation
The sects are managed according to territorial jurisdiction, and I heard that you have a very good relationship with the Haiya Sect, so it is not difficult to fabricate the identities of the two Qi Refining Stage monks."
Li Qingning was about to say something, but Yang Lu had seen his eldest lady's reverse bargaining ability. He dared not let her continue to negotiate the price, so he quickly interrupted: "You guys spent half a million on travel to Zhongzhou this time.
?”
Lin Muhu mentioned the tolls he spent for smuggling, originally intending to use them as a bargaining chip to ask for high prices, but when he heard Yang Lu's rhetorical question, he immediately realized that he had just said the wrong thing:
How can normal people spend so much money when they come to Zhongzhou?
Since the question could no longer be avoided, he had no choice but to confess: "My brother's killing of Zhang Gan has been known to the Yufeng Sect, and now our brothers are the most wanted criminals of the Yufeng Sect."
In fact, even if he didn't confess, Yang Lu knew that there must be something wrong with them coming all the way to seek refuge with him.
With the Lin brothers' weird formation methods, it is not easy for them to earn spirit stone coins. Just now Lin Muhu said that they can take out 500,000 spirit stone coins for smuggling, which has already proved from the side that they are not short of money. Here.
Under such circumstances, they had to travel thousands of miles to join the Qingning Chamber of Commerce, and it was only because of this reason.
Faced with the heavy bounty offered by the Yufeng Sect, no matter which force they defect to, they are likely to fall into a trap. As for working alone as a casual cultivator, this kind of thing did not exist thousands of years ago.
Yang Lu has long discovered that although the overall setting of the Jiuzhou cultivation world seems to be full of fairy tales and ancient customs, if you delve deeper into the core of its civilization, you will find that it is actually closer to modern earth society.
This is actually the reason why the economic base determines the superstructure.
You must know that the Jiuzhou cultivation world is also a civilization with a highly developed social division of labor. Without a highly developed social division of labor, cultivators cannot build spectacular fairy cities and prosperous commercial ports with just a pair of iron fists. There is a high probability that they can only compete with the legendary Mang.
Like the Eldar in the Wilderness, they became a group of "Super Saiyan Savages" who killed each other in the primitive jungle.
Although compared to modern earthlings, cultivators have one more setting where great power is attributed to themselves, but due to the constraints of heaven, they cannot use this power to carry out anti-social activities at will. It is expected that in such a civilization with a high degree of social division of labor, management will still be like
The ancient feudal dynasties were so loose, which was undoubtedly a dream.
Yang Lu used to complain when he was reading science fiction novels on Earth. Even on Earth in the 21st century, as long as governments are willing, they can investigate everything a citizen does every day. As a result, many science fiction novels
In the future interstellar society, various surveillance methods have greatly regressed, and even in some so-called "interstellar empires" that practice dictatorship, the intelligence system is not even as good as the circulation system, which really makes reasonable readers confused after reading it.
As for the fantasy civilization that combines great power into one body, there is no rationality at all. This is not to say that the setting of destroying a galaxy with one punch is unreasonable, but that this kind of anti-social creature has great power attributed to one body.
, the way of thinking is still the same as that of social animals like humans. This is the biggest unreasonable point.
Since the level of social division of labor in the Jiuzhou cultivation world is very close to that of modern Earth, even the magic weapons sold in Tianshu City must now indicate the source and producer, and must also promise after-sales service before they can be sold.
Well, unless you escape to a lawless place like an outlying island, it may not be a problem to work as a green forest hero in the territory of the seven sects, doing petty theft and becoming a self-employed person, but if you want to make a lot of money and collect cultivation resources, especially breakthroughs,
It would be strange if the resources needed after the foundation building period are not noticed by other cultivation forces.
Just like Yang Lu had to ask about the identity and motivations of the Lin brothers before he dared to accept them, other cultivation forces would never sit back and watch a foundation-building master with unknown origins suddenly appear on their territory, let alone hire monks with unknown origins.
Illegal work.
If the other party has ulterior motives, such as a spy sent by a competitor, isn't that just looking for death?
Therefore, the Lin brothers must be affiliated with a certain cultivation force outside Borneo in order to obtain sufficient cultivation resources openly and without arousing the vigilance of other local cultivators.
Of course, every time wanted criminals like them "submit resumes" are actually equivalent to risking their lives with their heads raised. The Lin brothers also chose the Qingning Chamber of Commerce as their target after careful consideration.
Lin Muhu had dealt with Yang Lu before, which was just one of them. The small scale of the Qingning Chamber of Commerce, his detached status, and the relatively low cultivation level of the speaker were all important considerations. Even if he lent ten brothers to Lin Musen
They don't dare to bargain with Jindan stage monks like Jiang Hua'an and Chen Ming.
Yang Lu glanced at the uneasy Lin Muhu until he saw him and felt a little scared, then he asked: "Aren't you afraid that we will capture you on the spot and then ask the Yufeng Sect to exchange for reward? In order to arrest you
I think the Yufeng Sect will offer a reward of millions of spirit stone coins for the murderer of our own holy-grade spiritual root genius star!"
Lin Muhu laughed dryly and said: "We are just Qi Refining Stage monks, how could the sect be so willing to spend money on us?"
Yang Lu waved his hand and said: "Fellow Daoist Lin is also a smart man. He should know that I am not just threatening. Zhang Qian's death is not a trivial matter. Only by showing an attitude of pursuing the end at all costs can the Yufeng Sect avoid such vicious attacks against themselves."
The incident happened again, and this is not against you two brothers, but for the sake of the prestige of Yufeng Sect and the face of Head Yi."
Of course Lin Muhu knew this, he just pretended to be ignorant.
Seeing Yang Lu take the initiative to clarify his words, Lin Muhu swallowed his saliva and said: "As long as I want to escape, you will never be able to capture me!"
Yang Lu pointed to the top of his head and said, "But what if we inform the Haiya Department about this?"
Lin Muhu frowned and said: "Then just think that I am blind and let everyone fight to the death! Not only will you not get any benefit, my brother will definitely escape. After all, I was not the one who killed Zhang Qian.
, my brother is the most wanted target of Yufeng Sect, even if you can keep me, how much reward can you get in exchange for it?"
Yang Lu looked down at his tea cup so that the other party could not see his expression clearly: "Anyway, getting rid of my younger brother who fled with Lin Musen will at least make the Yufeng Sect owe us a favor, and that is the seven major Kyushu states.
What a favor! Even if the bamboo basket ends up in vain, for the Qingning Chamber of Commerce, which has not paid any cost, this is a business that is sure to make a profit without losing any money."
