Martial Arts: Start by Obtaining the Wild World

Chapter 329 0328: Allegiance Contract

Cheng Zongyang looked at the boy and couldn't help but feel a little emotional. Although the boy was young, he was very opinionated. He knew his situation and knew how to choose the most beneficial way for himself. But in response to his question, Cheng Zongyang shook his head and said:
"We can't catch him because we haven't found a way. Lin Feng, you go back first. If you think of any information related to the Shadow Alliance, come to me at any time. I will be here for the next two or three days. In addition, if you have any other ideas, you can also tell me. The grudge between him and me has nothing to do with you, so you don't have to worry."

Lin Feng nodded, turned and left the living room, and entered the room very smartly without doing any unnecessary actions.

Although Cheng Zongyang said this, his heart was still full of doubts and uneasiness.

He didn't know why Cheng Zongyang asked him these questions, but he knew that he had to be careful and not trust anyone easily. It was just that in this situation, he had no ability to resist.

As for the Shadow Alliance...

Back in the room, Lin Feng sat on the bed and fell into deep thought.

At this time, Cheng Zongyang was also thinking about the boy's words.

Lin Feng has such a temperament and scheming, and has always been by Lin Changfeng's side as a good disciple. Regardless of whether Lin Changfeng is aware of it, judging from this temperament and calculation, it means that the other party's words cannot be fully trusted.

But no matter what happens, only the affairs of the Shadow Alliance are important.

In this ever-changing world, the fate of ordinary people like Lin Feng is like a small boat, floating up and down in the turbulent waves. It is impossible to control it as one wishes.

After leaving the cave, Cheng Zongyang walked all the way to Zi'an County. He was full of thoughts, worried about the situation in Cheng Mansion and the agreement with Qinglong Chamber of Commerce. Along the way, he carefully concealed his whereabouts, and after a simple disguise, he turned into a rough young man.

At the gate of Zi'an County, the inspection for entry and exit was not much different from before. Cheng Zongyang blended in with the crowd and entered the city smoothly.

He first arrived near the Cheng Mansion. He looked at the familiar mansion from afar. It was still the same as usual. There was no guarding as he had imagined, and no seals or anything like that.

He frowned, puzzled. "Didn't the other party notice that Lin Changfeng had been here?"

He pondered secretly, but continued to walk forward at a normal pace. He did not dare to stay in the vicinity for too long, for fear that someone might be following him.

The streets were bustling with people. But Cheng Zongyang had no intention of appreciating the bustling scene. His mind was focused on the situation at Cheng Mansion. He didn't know whether the sect had discovered it. If they had, why didn't they take any measures against Cheng Mansion? If they hadn't discovered it, why was Lin Changfeng so anxious?

After crossing another street, Cheng Zongyang arrived at Chunmanlou.

At the entrance of Chunmanlou, two little girls were cleaning diligently.

When they saw someone coming, one of them stepped forward and said, "Sir, I'm so sorry, we are closed for the next two days."

Cheng Zongyang's disguised appearance made it completely unrecognizable to the two little girls.

"It's okay. I'm here to discuss business with your boss's wife. Is Sanniang here? Just say someone named Cheng is visiting." Cheng Zongyang asked in a heavy voice, lowering his voice.

The two little girls looked at each other, and one of them said, "The boss lady is upstairs, please wait a moment, I will go and inform her."

After saying that, he turned and ran upstairs.

Cheng Zongyang stood downstairs and looked around. The environment of Chunmanlou was still elegant and beautifully decorated.

After a while, the little girl ran down and said, "The boss lady wants you to go up."

Cheng Zongyang took a deep breath and followed the little girl upstairs. When he came to the room upstairs, he saw Tan Sanniang. Tan Sanniang was wearing a gorgeous long dress today, with an elegant temperament.

She was slightly startled when she saw Cheng Zongyang's appearance, but soon regained her composure and then asked the maid to leave.

"Sir, what can I do for you?" Tan Sanniang's voice was gentle and pleasant.

Cheng Zongyang looked at Tan Sanniang, then glanced around and said, "Sanniang, it's me."

Cheng Zongyang returned to his original voice.

After hearing this, Tan Sanniang seemed to have guessed it. She rolled her eyes, turned around and walked into the house, snorting, "You are quite courageous."

Cheng Zongyang heard that the other party understood the situation, and couldn't help but smile bitterly and said: "This, I am also an unprovoked disaster. I was implicated by that person and had to be forced to leave. Sanniang, do you know the current situation of the Cheng Mansion?"

Tan Sanniang sighed and said:

"The Cheng Mansion has been taken over by the sect. It is blocked by a forbidden formation, so you can't get in. Only the Immortal Sect can open it. I saw that the two people you met last time were taken away. But the sect has no intention of issuing a wanted notice for you.

I also asked someone about it, and it seems that their purpose is to let you know the situation in person. My dear brother, the sect is not an unreasonable place. They have their own set of rules and regulations. It is impossible for them to act arbitrarily. Otherwise, the majesty and laws of the immortal sect will have no prestige at all. "

Cheng Zongyang sighed in his heart after hearing this. He naturally knew this, but he also knew that the bigger the power, the more internal competition and intrigue there would be.

What the Xianzong wants is Lin Changfeng, and they know that the only way now is to exchange Lin Changfeng for the two of them.

But this also meant that he could no longer stay in Zi'an County. His previous series of plans were also affected. As for taking Li Cungang and Li Yihe away quietly, that was just overthinking.

"Sanniang, do you have any good ideas?" Cheng Zongyang asked.

Tan Sanniang looked at Cheng Zongyang and said, "The best way is to be honest. Otherwise, no one can take people away from the Xianzong, and it is useless to find connections. Because the one who gave the order is the Xianzong's Jindan deacon, who is also the highest person in charge of Zi'an County. Who dares to mess around?"

Cheng Zongyang said helplessly: "I know that, but I'm worried that they will find a reason to punish me."

Where did the foundation-building pill come from? Who is the power behind it? What is his purpose in Zi'an County? What is his relationship with Lin Changfeng? If he has nothing to do with her, why would he stay in Cheng Mansion? Where does the underground teleportation array lead to...

Without going to the Xianzong office, he could imagine all the questions the other party would ask.

Although all the people who were teleported here signed a contract and there was no need to worry about secrets being leaked, who knew how they would conduct the investigation?
Tan Sanniang said: "You have no other choice now. If you still want to stay in Zi'an County, you can only follow the will of the Immortal Sect. Otherwise, you can abandon those two people and leave directly."

Cheng Zongyang was silent for a moment, then told Tan Sanniang about Lin Changfeng's affairs.

Of course, he exaggerated his explanation, for example, he trapped the opponent with a disposable magic weapon, but also cut off a limb, and finally the opponent turned into black mist and escaped. He can always use the opponent's severed limbs as proof.

After hearing this, Tan Sanniang understood the whole story and did not doubt Cheng Zongyang. After all, she was somewhat familiar with Cheng Zongyang's wealth. It was reasonable for him to be able to afford a magic weapon that could be used by warriors. She immediately said:

"As long as you have proof, it will be enough to distance yourself from the other party. As for the rest, it all depends on the attitude of the Golden Core Deacon."

"Okay, I know what to do." Cheng Zongyang was helpless. He also learned a lot of information from Tan Sanniang.

Next, Cheng Zongyang said goodbye to Tan Sanniang and left Chunmanlou, walking on the street with a lot of thoughts in his mind. He first left the county town and returned to the cave.

Lin Feng was a little surprised to see Cheng Zongyang coming back. He didn't know where Cheng Zongyang had gone, but he didn't ask much.

Cheng Zongyang glanced at Lin Feng who was finishing his martial arts practice, and asked directly: "Have you thought about it? Is there anything else you can tell me?"

Lin Feng paused, pondered for a while, and then asked: "I have something to ask. If you can help me solve it, I can tell you some of the things I heard. It is definitely not hearsay or something I made up."

Hearing this, Cheng Zongyang nodded and said, "What's the matter?"

"Repair Dantian." Lin Feng said: "I don't know if the old man is dead or not. But as you said, you and he have a great grudge, so his fate is also certain to be death. And you also said before that he refined the Soul-Repairing Pill, I want to repair Dantian."

Cheng Zongyang didn't expect that this kid's purpose was still so clear. He asked playfully, "Do you know how many spirit stones a soul-restoring pill costs?"

"The minimum is 300,000 Spiritual Stones, but this is not the final price, it is just an estimated minimum price."

The young man said as if he knew all the treasures: "It's mainly because the materials of the Soul-Restoring Pill are too amazing. Five Foundation-Building Pills combined with seven three-hundred-year-old spiritual herbs and one thousand-year-old spiritual herb. This is worth at least three hundred thousand.

Of course, more importantly, few people can make it. They dare not and are unwilling to use five foundation-building pills and a thousand-year-old spiritual medicine to exchange for a pill that only repairs the dantian. This may not guarantee a one-time success. Failure once would be a very heavy loss. Even the immortal sect would not be generous enough to waste foundation-building pills at will.

That old guy failed three times! The fifteen foundation-building pills were either robbed or stolen."

This is also the reason why Zhangye did not disturb Lin Changfeng from refining the elixir, and in the end he wanted nothing but the Fuling Pill.

Not only is it expensive, it is also extremely rare.

Cheng Zongyang laughed: "Since you know, do you think your information can be exchanged for this Rejuvenating Pill?"

"No." Lin Feng shook his head without hesitation: "So I can work for you for a certain period of time and help you do things in exchange for this pill."

"Work for me?" Cheng Zongyang was quite surprised that the other party would take the initiative to make this request.

Lin Feng seemed to be very clear about many things in the world of immortal cultivation. He nodded and said:

"I know my qualifications. I have five spiritual roots and five spiritual bones, which are also called the body of an immortal. This does not mean that I have a very fast cultivation speed, but once this kind of qualifications have the resources, they are most likely to become immortals. They do not need to make up for their spiritual roots in the middle of the process, and their combat power is almost invincible at the same level. As long as I can recover my Dantian and practice, I will work hard for you. How long will it take you?"

But Cheng Zongyang suddenly asked: "How do you know so many things? Do you just read books when you have nothing to do?"

Lin Feng nodded: "I guess so. If you want to cultivate immortality, you must first understand the affairs and rules of the immortal cultivation world. Many books have records of the things you encounter in daily life, and you also know how to deal with them. If you understand them, you will be able to deal with and solve them if you really encounter them in the future. Just like now, I am also using them."

Cheng Zongyang burst into laughter. He liked this boy's character more and more.

As long as you don't die, you can make a name for yourself even in the mortal world. This is perfect for the survival of the fittest.

"Okay." Cheng Zongyang nodded slightly: "I can help you repair your Dantian, but you have to sign an agreement. I don't believe in any verbal promises from outsiders. Only the agreement I drafted can make me feel at ease. You wait first."

As he said that, Cheng Zongyang entered another room and closed the door.

About a quarter of an hour later, Cheng Zongyang drafted a new loyalty contract.

One of the clauses is that if both parties do not negotiate to end the relationship within three days of the expiration of the ten-year renewal period, the contract will be automatically renewed.

As for confidentiality, all the treatment Lin Feng should receive in the future will be recorded.

After reading the contract given by Cheng Zongyang, Lin Feng fell into thought.

His eyes wandered around, and he repeatedly weighed the pros and cons in his mind. Time seemed to freeze at this moment, and the air became particularly solemn.

After a long time, Lin Feng finally nodded slowly, stretched out his finger to leave a fingerprint on the contract and signed his name.

From beginning to end, he did not ask any questions, as if he had already made a desperate decision. Of course, he knew in his heart that he had no choice!

As the contract was established, Cheng Zongyang took out the gourd used to hold wilderness bean water and gently threw it to Lin Feng.

"Take a sip." Cheng Zongyang's voice was calm and steady.

This time, Lin Feng did not hesitate at all. He pulled open the lid, raised his head and drank from it. Cheng Zongyang was speechless when he saw this. He took back the gourd with one hand and said helplessly, "I told you to drink a sip, why did you drink so much? It's really a waste of my materials."

Lin Feng showed a look of surprise, and before he could react, a strong feeling of drowsiness came over him like a tide.

The next moment, he fell to the ground with a thud and fell into a coma.

Soon, Cheng Zongyang brought the sleepy Lin Feng into the Hall of All Races in the Wilderness World.

Enter the trading room and place Lin Feng on the treatment bed.

After examination, Lin Feng had no external injuries, but only one internal injury - a broken dantian.

This kind of internal injury is equivalent to severed meridians, and the level is classified as high - three thousand points!
This is also a "benefit" that will only be available to high-level members of the Ten Thousand Races Spirit Seal in the future. Of course, this also requires a price to be paid.

Compared to the Soul-Restoring Pill, which is worth hundreds of thousands of Spiritual Stones, 3,000 points is indeed cheap. This pill can be auctioned later and exchanged for hundreds of thousands of Spiritual Stones. If you know the recipe, you can refine it later when you have the conditions.

Brought back to reality, Cheng Zongyang began to repair Lin Feng.

While Lin Feng was being repaired, Cheng Zongyang also went to Lin Changfeng's room.

He knew clearly that if he wanted to get Li Yihe and the others to come back, he had to make his excuse sound.

His original idea was to take a severed arm to the Golden Core Deacon to prove his point. After all, it was impossible to exchange a person. He couldn't even catch the Golden Core, so how could he, a congenital warrior, have the confidence?

Secondly, Lin Changfeng still had many uses, and it was impossible for him to die. Apart from anything else, at least the Black Evil Qi was a piece of wool that could be plucked for a while.

But then Cheng Zongyang thought again, if Lin Changfeng lost his arm, it would be inconvenient for him to practice, wouldn’t that be a problem?
So, his eyes fell on Lin Changfeng's thigh. He thought to himself that it shouldn't matter if the thigh was gone.

Cheng Zongyang decisively grabbed Lin Changfeng and walked towards the Yuzhongshi Market Trading Room.
