Martial Arts: Start by Obtaining the Wild World

Chapter 354 0353: Li Xuejin's Revenge
Now, the others also reacted.

Yes, the most important reason why the Immortal City has its current status is that it has spiritual energy.

There is none outside.

Cheng Zongyang looked at Li Xuejin with great admiration. He had already experienced this guy's intelligence, but he was not surprised. He just said:
"Don't worry. I will start the plan next time I go to the Immortal Cultivation World. If the plan succeeds, I'm afraid this Immortal City will become even more lively."

Cheng Zongyang did not say what he would do.

As for this bustle, it is not the kind of bustle that comes with a lot of people, but a dangerous bustle.

This is also why when he chooses magic, he mainly chooses life-saving methods.

Stealing... Oh no, collecting the underground spiritual veins of various forces in the world of immortal cultivation, how can we do this without any means to protect our lives?
As for Cheng Zongyang's words, everyone believed them without a doubt. So they didn't ask any more questions. But Cheng Zongyang said to Li Lu:

"You will fully assist Hall Master Wang in whatever he needs to do. If this Immortal Mountain Plan is successful, then the next step may be to take over Tianduan Mountain."

As Cheng Zongyang said the last sentence, everyone was stunned.

"Tian Duan Mountain?!" Cheng Zongwen and Zhou Zhendong both frowned slightly and looked at Cheng Zongyang.

There is Chengjia Village in Tianduan Mountain. By doing this, wouldn’t Chengjia Village be exposed?

The rest of the people were shocked, thinking that their boss wanted to transform the entire Tianduan Mountain.

But Cheng Zongyang gave an explanation: "Of course, it's not what everyone thinks. The Tianduan Mountain plan is not being carried out now, it's just a preliminary idea. If the Xianshan plan is completed in the future, the living environment of Xiancheng will be too crowded, so we need to consider developing Tianduan Mountain and expanding Xiancheng towards Tianduan Mountain."

Now everyone understood.

If we expand the area, without opening up the entire Tianduan Mountain, that would be a different matter.

After finishing the discussion of the Xianshan Project, Cheng Zongyang looked at Li Xuejin. Seeing this, the latter took a step forward and bowed to Cheng Zongyang, saying, "Boss, I want to go out to do some private business. I hope you can allow me."

Cheng Zongyang heard this and sensed Li Xuejin's second-level Qi training, and seemed to understand something. He was silent for a moment, and he also knew the hatred in Li Xuejin's heart and understood his decision.

This is because he feels that his cultivation is high enough and he can take revenge.

Although the people present were not outsiders, this was also Li Xuejin's family privacy. Cheng Zongyang immediately looked at the others and said, "You can go and do your own things first. If you have anything else, we can talk about it later."

"Yes, Boss!" Without asking any more questions, everyone bowed and took their leave immediately.

"Oh, by the way, Zhendong, call Xu Dong over." Cheng Zongyang said to Zhou Zhendong again.

"it is good!"

Zhang Chuqi was the last one to go out, closing the door behind him.

"Although you are now practicing Qigong, do you think you can defeat a few martial artists who have reached the great perfection of innateness?" Cheng Zongyang directly brought up the topic.

As one of the top aristocratic families, the Zheng family has many masters above the innate level, and there are also several who are at the great perfection level.

He was worried that Li Xuejin was not ready.

Li Xuejin smiled and said, "I borrowed a lot of spirit stones and purchased a lot of offensive and defensive talismans. I also found a great perfection cultivator from the royal family to try. Breaking through the protective qi is not a problem. All we need to do is use talismans to attack continuously. Besides, even if we really can't beat the siege of so many innate great perfection warriors, won't it be easy to deal with the other core members of the Zheng family?"

When Cheng Zongyang heard this, he knew that Li Xuejin was ready. Of course, with Li Xuejin's intelligence, he would make such a decision only when he was sure.

So, he stopped trying to persuade her and said, "Okay. Since you have made up your mind, I will not stop you. But you must remember to be careful and not act rashly. Is there anything else I can do?"

Li Xuejin bowed deeply to Cheng Zongyang, and said sincerely, "Huangfu Xuejin thanks the boss for his trust and support. If I can come back after completing my wish, I will definitely continue to repay the boss's kindness with all my heart!"

Huangfu Xuejin.

Cheng Zongyang murmured the name twice, as if it was the first time he heard Li Xuejin say his real name?
It seems that no one had asked at the time.

But it doesn’t matter. He values ​​this person and the name is just a title.

"Then I'll wait until you come back safely." Cheng Zongyang nodded slightly.

"Yes!" Li Xuejin stood up, smiled, and turned away.

He had endured the family blood feud for more than 20 years, and all his calculations had ended in failure. Now he could take revenge with his own hands, which was the best thing for him.

Not long after Li Xuejin left, Zhang Zeyu came in and said, "Boss, Chen Kaishan brought the grandson of an old friend to see you. Chen Kaishan has been waiting for two months."

Cheng Zongyang was slightly stunned. Grandson of an old friend? Someone he knew? He immediately said, "Let them in."

A moment later, Chen Kaishan walked in with a young man.

Cheng Zongyang immediately felt that Chen Kaishan had entered the second level, and his blood and energy were quite rich, but his spiritual sense could also sense that the other party's foundation was not stable.

Obviously, he had worked hard for the past eight or nine months and had taken a lot of the elixir. Otherwise, it would have been impossible to break through two or three realms in less than a year. The result of his impatience was an unstable foundation.

Cheng Zongyang looked at Chen Kaishan and said with a smile: "Uncle Chen, long time no see."

As he spoke, his gaze shifted to the young man who was about twenty years old and standing behind Chen Kaishan on the left.

Chen Kaishan clasped his fists and saluted, saying with a smile: "Boss, how are you?"

After exchanging pleasantries, Chen Kaishan introduced the young man next to him and said, "Boss, this won't delay your work. This is Tang Feng's grandson Tang Bozhan! Do you still remember Tang Feng?"

Cheng Zongyang thought for a moment, and the old man who was one of the leaders of the Dayi Chamber of Commerce popped up in his mind. He nodded immediately: "I remember. Did he get into trouble?"

He is said to be the grandson of an old friend, so it is obvious that old man Tang Feng is "deceased".

Chen Kaishan nodded and said, "Elder Tang took his son to explore the ruins, but Elder Tang triggered something that caused his death, and his son returned with serious injuries, but then he also died in a raging fire.

Later, Tang Bozhan brought his father's last wish and came to the Immortal City with a storage bag, hoping to exchange it for cultivation resources. However, he had three spiritual roots, but no spiritual bones. "

Cheng Zongyang looked at Tang Bozhan, and saw that he had a handsome face and a look of determination in his eyes. He met Cheng Zongyang's gaze, but he did not show any sign of retreating, but his eyes revealed an unyielding and even unconvinced look.

Chen Kaishan had been paying attention to Cheng Zongyang's expression. He followed his gaze to Tang Bozhan. Seeing his attitude, he couldn't help but sigh. He pulled his hand slightly and said, "He is the owner of Yufeng Fairy City. Everything here was built by him. Hurry up and salute."

"No need for that. We are all the same age. I can understand the change in mentality when a family encounters misfortune."

Cheng Zongyang smiled, not caring about the disrespect in the other person's eyes, and said: "Although you don't have spiritual bones, you have three spiritual roots, which is also a good seedling for cultivation. Tang Bozhan, do you want to exchange for cultivation resources?"

Tang Bozhan then bowed his head slightly, cupped his hands and said, "I want to make myself stronger. I decided to exchange it. But I don't know what's inside, and I don't know what I can exchange it for?"

As he spoke, he took out an old storage bag the size of a palm from his arms.

Cheng Zongyang looked at the familiar storage bag, and with a movement of his spiritual sense, the storage bag in Tang Bozhan's hand automatically flew out of his hand and quickly fell into Cheng Zongyang's hand.

After using his spiritual sense to sense it, he confirmed that it was exactly the same sealing technique as the first time he saw it.

He did not hesitate and directly used his spiritual sense to erase the remaining spiritual imprint on the storage bag. Then he opened the storage bag very cautiously and probed his spiritual sense into it.

After a moment, Cheng Zongyang's eyes flickered, but he said calmly: "Okay, I agree to exchange for resources, what do you want?" Tang Bozhan's eyes became different this time, looking at Cheng Zongyang with gratitude, and said: "Thank you, City Lord! I want skills, spells, spirit stones, elixirs..."

"Tuk tuk tuk..."

Cheng Zongyang tapped the table with his finger expressionlessly and reminded: "I asked you to think, not to make a wish. Although there are some things in your storage bag, they are not very valuable. Also, point out where the ruins are."

As he spoke, he took out a map of the martial arts world and Tang Bozhan pointed it out.

Tang Bozhan suddenly felt a little embarrassed. But he suppressed his embarrassment, searched on the map, pointed out a location, and said:
"Here it is. This is what my grandfather and my father both mentioned. As for what I want in exchange, I want skills, spells, and spiritual stones to spend."

Cheng Zongyang nodded slightly and then shouted outside.

Zhang Zeyu walked in and bowed, "Boss, what can I do for you?"

For Tang Feng's sake, Cheng Zongyang pointed at Tang Bozhan and said generously: "Take him to the first floor and let him pick out a book on Qigong, a book on magic, a bottle of Yuanqi Pills, and three hundred spirit stones."

"Yes!" Zhang Zeyu bowed in response.

Chen Kaishan looked at Tang Bozhan and signaled him with his eyes.

This time, Tang Bozhan was not so foolish and immediately bowed and said, "Thank you, City Lord."

Then he followed Zhang Zeyu downstairs.

Cheng Zongyang looked at Chen Kaishan and said with a smile: "Uncle Chen, how anxious are you?"

Chen Kaishan knew what Cheng Zongyang meant, and said with a wry smile: "Nowadays, more and more forces are entering the Immortal City, and their strength is almost all warriors with cultivation above the third rank. I am the director of the branch of the Dayi Chamber of Commerce, so I am a little anxious."

"If you do this, you may run into problems breaking through to the Xiantian realm. You need to stop and stabilize your foundation first." Cheng Zongyang reminded him, "Otherwise, it will be difficult for you to become a cultivator, let alone enter the Xiantian realm."

"Okay." Chen Kaishan readily agreed.

The two continued to chat and learned about the current situation of Dayi Chamber of Commerce.

It was indeed just as he had imagined at the beginning, this branch of Dayi Chamber of Commerce basically did business with ordinary people.

Rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, tea, all kinds of daily necessities, food, clothing, housing and transportation, the Dayi Chamber of Commerce and the Cheng Chamber of Commerce competed with each other and made a lot of money.

After all, there is only one comprehensive chamber of commerce here, the Dayi Chamber of Commerce. In addition, the prices are not expensive, and the chamber of commerce can basically meet all kinds of needs.

This result was also what Cheng Zongyang had expected. The Great Easy Chamber of Commerce was very large and had sufficient supply. If the Great Easy Chamber of Commerce sold these, the basic needs of the Immortal City could also be supplied in the largest amount.

Of course, the most important thing is that he doesn’t have the quantity.

At this time, Chen Kaishan talked about something Cheng Zongyang had told him about, and said, "Before you brought Chief Yu here, you told him to collect death row prisoners and heavy criminals from all over the place. The more the better. Do you still remember this?"

Upon hearing this, Cheng Zongyang immediately said, "Remember. I thought you forgot."

Chen Kaishan was speechless: "This is something you specifically asked me to do, how could I miss it? But you need a lot of people, and time is not tight, so I will slowly look for them from various places.

Now, 5,343 people have been gathered. They are all detained in the nearby county town. They are fed with one meal a day. Although this expense is not a big deal, the jails in various county offices are overcrowded, and some new criminals have no place to be detained.

At present, most of the death row prisoners in Xiangyang Prefecture are here. Although there may be some more later, there are not many left. We can't just arrest people for false charges."

Cheng Zongyang was a little surprised.

More than five thousand three hundred people!
But he thought about it and said, "Okay. Send everyone to the outside of the Immortal City. I happen to have a magic weapon for hiding people from there, so I will take it all away and send them there later."

"Okay." Chen Kaishan nodded without asking any more questions. "Then I'll leave first."

After Chen Kaishan left, Cheng Zongyang temporarily put aside the gossip, turned to look at the storage bag on the table, a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and then his mind entered the Hall of Ten Thousand Clans.

In the trading room, Cheng Zongyang used his spiritual sense to open the storage bag in his hand.

Then take out everything inside.

The elixir bottle, jade slips, jade books, magic tools, a jade box with a soul-sealing talisman, three books of martial arts, an identity token, and one of the things he valued most - a map!
Opening this map made of animal skin, a simply outlined route map is revealed. In the upper right corner, there is a red dot with a name marked next to it - Black Cloud Market.

Seeing this, he ignored the rest of the things. With a thought, a world map of the martial arts world appeared in his hands.

Cheng Zongyang looked at the world map and marked the location of the ruins that Tang Bozhan mentioned.

After confirming it, he took the animal skin map and began to compare it on the world map, with the ruins as the center, according to the route.

The ruins are located in the southern part of the Thirteen Royal Clans area, which is a place facing the sea to the south of Linchuan, Xiangyang and Luoyang.

Although the animal skin map was drawn in a relatively simple way, after slowly comparing some shapes and routes, Cheng Zongyang discovered that the similar location of the Black Cloud City seemed to be on a huge island in the sea.

Cheng Zongyang frowned slightly.

"On the island?" Cheng Zongyang was very confused.

Although the island is quite large, it is still limited. It should not be difficult to search for it. However, the market is located on the island, and relying on the efforts of the Great Easy Chamber of Commerce and various forces to search for immortals, it is estimated that the island has been searched countless times.

He thought about it and had an idea in his mind. After putting away the map, he looked at the other items.

He basically doesn't care whether the martial arts world still has things left over from the world of immortal cultivation.

After all, they have all gone to the world of immortal cultivation, and there is nothing interesting to see in the relics left behind.

The only things that mattered to him were the items related to the previous master of the Realm of Ten Thousand Races.

But he still took those things and checked them one by one.

The books were just three ordinary martial arts books. Cheng Zongyang put them aside and would store them in the martial arts room later.

As for the jade slips and jade books, he explored them with his spiritual sense.

The jade slip was a sound transmission jade slip, but it was no longer effective.

The Jade Book recorded the events of the Black Cloud Market, which aroused Cheng Zongyang's interest.

He looked at it carefully and realized that the Black Cloud Market was a maritime market under the jurisdiction of the Tianjian Sect, and it was also aimed at the trade and acquisition of resources from the sea.

It is also a relatively concentrated market town in the South China Sea area, and it is extremely good in terms of both scale and prosperity.

And that identity token is the certificate for the owner of the storage bag to enter and exit the market.

But in his opinion, this was just a market town that existed hundreds of years ago. With the shift in the world of immortal cultivation, it was impossible for such a place to still exist.

He even felt that forces like the Dayi Chamber of Commerce had already discovered its existence long ago.

Finally, Cheng Zongyang looked at the palm-sized jade box with the talisman attached to it.
