Cultivation starts from being a ghost

Chapter 498 Illegal Operations
No matter what, Hanhai won No.1 as allowed by the rules, and climbed directly to the leader's throne from the last place in the previous session. This is an indelible fact.

Is it a miracle?of course!It's just that in the eyes of many people, they are invincible, but no matter what, the first is the first, and the mouths of all the cultivators in the sea are almost crooked!
The group battles of the Thirteen Continents Grand Competition are all over, and people can finally walk out of the waiting room. The Hanhai bosses headed by Lin Jianfeng came to greet them in person, and took over the entire Imperial Palace. Qin Chuan and other twelve young monks enjoyed a heroic experience. Needless to say, the lively treatment at the banquet.

The next day, the host Yunlai Cultivation Alliance and the judging team held a simple ceremony. First, they announced the group ranking and crowned the leader; second, they determined the rules for the individual ranking competition one month later.

The so-called coronation is to hand over a crown that symbolizes honor to the team leader of Hanhai. It is similar to the nature of the championship trophy. As for the benefits, there are no things, but everyone doesn't care. Anyway, the real purpose of participating in the competition is not honor , but in the qualifications to enter the Blue Rain Immortal Mansion, that is to say, Hanhai has obtained thirteen places, and as for the remaining 39 places, it depends on his performance in the individual ranking battle.

In addition, setting the individual competition after one month is mainly to provide enough time for those injured monks to recuperate. Otherwise, teams like Zhongzhou and Beihuang will have too few people who can compete, which will directly affect their results. .

After the ceremony, the real harvest season came. Everyone went together to the betting points of the four major business alliances to "cash prizes". Qin Chuan was undoubtedly the biggest winner, because he invested the most, followed by Huolong Boy, who made this aggressive bet. The bet was the right one. All in all, a large sum of spirit stones was in the bag, and everyone was in a good mood.

"It's so cool to make money from this Lingshi, why don't we continue to participate in the gambling and see if we can make another fortune!"

Everyone had just tasted the sweetness, and Liu Nanfeng's proposal was naturally unanimously approved.

He asked a manager of the business alliance about the betting of the personal battle. When Qin Chuan heard that he had actually become the top three in the Blue Rain Billboard, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart. This time he has become famous all over the world.

Betting on individuals is mainly betting on rankings. Knowing that his odds of entering the top ten are only 0.5, and becoming the top is only 1 to 1, he decisively gave up betting.

Others put in some money in the spirit of a small gamble and the mentality of having already made money anyway, and then everyone inevitably ate and drank again.

Back at the residence, Qin Chuan gave the material blackmailed from Miaozhen to the weapon spirit of Killing Immortal Cone, then adjusted his state, repaired the magic weapon, and prepared for the personal battle that followed.

After two days of living a leisurely life, the evil consequences of being famous appeared. Crowds of people came to the afternoon every day, and I don’t know how these people found out where he lived.

Qin Chuan went to the monks guarding the cliff to make a theory. These "community security guards" spread their hands and expressed their helplessness. This made him very angry but helpless. It is not difficult to imagine that people will encounter this kind of dissatisfaction.

The sign of thanking guests behind closed doors has been smashed many times. In order to seek peace, he even used the Liuhe Xuanshui Forbidden Formation. Fortunately, those people were not crazy enough to attack the formation, otherwise troubles would arise. Monks from other continents will suspect that the security work of the Yunlai Cultivation Alliance is not in place.

In the middle of the night on the seventh day after the team battle ended, Qin Chuan, who was in meditation, was suddenly awakened by Qin Qing, "What?"

"Someone touched the formation!"

Qin Chuan was slightly startled. No one would come to challenge him at this time in the middle of the night. He hurriedly released his consciousness, but found no trace of anyone outside the formation.

"Are you sure someone touched the formation on purpose just now?"

"I'm sure, the opponent broke through at least seven or eight layers of defense in the Xuanshui forbidden array!"

"It seems that someone wants to plot against me!" After counting the enemies, there are really too many to count, but there are still a few who are willing to take risks to find trouble.

After thinking for a long time, he was still not sure who the other party was, but this kind of feeling was very bad. He planned to "create" conditions for the guy hiding in the dark to do it.

In order not to appear abrupt, he did not do anything on the second day. On the third day, he contacted the brokers who had helped buy Scrophulariae, asking them to spread the word and continue to purchase large quantities of Scrophulariae, and rented a relatively secluded place at a high price through one of the brokers. The small courtyard, as a trading location.

The gate of the small courtyard can be used as a pavement, and the three houses can be used as a place for rest and cultivation. In such a small and remote place, the annual rent is as high as three thousand middle-grade spirit stones. If you buy it, you don’t know how much it will cost. How many.

The brokers in Jinque City have great powers, and soon the news that a monk surnamed Qin in Hanhai bought Scrophulariae became known to everyone, and even Lin Jianfeng heard the rumor, "Xiao Qin, I heard that you rented a shop temporarily in order to buy Scrophulariae?"

"The seniors have also heard of it?"

"Well, buying Scrophulariaceae is the same in the hive, it's not safe to live alone!"

"It's okay, they are all in Jinque City anyway, if you have anything to do, please send me a sound transmission talisman!"

Seeing that he had made up his mind, Lin Jianfeng stopped trying to persuade him, "You have to be more careful, and inform me in time if there is anything!"

After everything was arranged properly, he took Shang Yutong, Xu Yun and others to visit the new house, and then waited for the "guests" to come to the door.

The purchase of Scrophulariaceae has not yet opened, but the "business management" of Jinque City came to the door. There were three people who came, wearing uniform dark blue clothes. The leader was a monk with a horse face who looked about [-] years old. The three came in first. Looking around, "Are you the shopkeeper here?"

Qin Chuan found out that the visitor was not friendly, so he naturally didn't follow his words and said, "Shopkeeper? What shopkeeper, this is a private residence!"

"Don't deny it, we have received a report that you are engaging in illegal business activities!"

"Oh, how do you call it an illegal business operation?"

"Shops that are not registered with the Chamber of Commerce are called illegal business activities!"

"But here is my private residence, have you seen any goods for sale?"

"Hmph, what is the acquisition of Scrophulariae not a business activity?"

"I'm an alchemist, can't I collect enough medicinal materials to make alchemy by myself?"

"Alchemist, how do you prove that you are an alchemist?" The corner of the horse-faced cultivator's mouth was slightly raised, and he said jokingly.

Qin Chuan really wanted to break this guy's neck, but he had already noticed that there were city guards shaking not far away. If he made a rough move, a fool would know what the consequences would be?
"Can the Zhongzhou alchemist's scroll prove it?"

"The one from Zhongzhou... tsk... who knows if it's true or not, you need Yunlai's alchemist scroll!"

"Okay, so what do you want?"

"Illegal gains will be confiscated, and the shop will be closed!"

Qin Chuan nodded, "Wait a minute, I'll make a phone call...ah no... send a sound transmission talisman to call my friend, let him prove that I am really an alchemist!"

The sound transmission talisman came out, but there was a dreamlike feeling in my heart. The conversation just now touched some memories of the previous life. This kind of scene seemed familiar!

After about one stick of incense, hearty laughter came, "Congratulations to Fellow Daoist Qin for winning the first place in the group competition!"

"If I knew there would be so many troubles, I should have let you Yunlai get the first place!"

Lan Chao smiled slightly, and after inquiring about what happened, he turned to the three "business managers" and said, "You can get out!"

The horse-faced monk was about to get angry, but when he found out that the person who came here was full of aura, he must not be an ordinary person, so he couldn't help but calm down three points, "Who are you? I advise you not to meddle in your own business!"

"Hmph, Fellow Daoist Qin is Lan Chao's friend and a distinguished guest of the Trans-Ocean Business Alliance. If you don't want to work in the Business Management Association, I can help you!"

Hearing the words "Cross-Ocean Merchant Alliance", Brother Ma's expression changed slightly. The Chamber of Commerce manages shops in name, but is not actually an official organization. The Yunlai Cultivation Alliance is the boss here, but the management of Jinque City The real executors of management and management are the four major business alliances.

Lan Chao's behavior was very arrogant, but the horse-faced monk was not intimidated, because it is ordinary people who can instruct him to make trouble? "What about the Trans-Ocean Business Alliance? The Business Management Committee is not run by your family, please don't hinder me from performing official duties!"

"Hey, it's quite stubborn!" Lan Chao couldn't help but looked at the other party up and down. If he had heard the name of the Trans-Ocean Business Alliance before, the other party would definitely run away in despair. With a slick mind, he immediately guessed that this guy's backstage is very hard, and it was a bit reckless to take this muddy water hastily.

Brother Horse Face could hear the hesitation in the other party's tone, so he had to say, "If you have any questions, please consult with our Deacon Fan. This shop is operating illegally and must be closed down!"

"Deacon Fan? You mean Fan Jianren sent you here?"

"This area is already under my jurisdiction, so I can't talk about who ordered it!"

Qin Chuan saw that Lan Chao's aura was not as strong as before, and his face was strange, "Fellow Daoist Lan, since you are in trouble, then forget it, I just want to buy some crocus ginseng, if he wants to seal it, let him seal it!"

"What are you talking about? You are a distinguished guest of our cross-sea business alliance. If he wants to embarrass you, he will not give the business alliance face!" Turning to the horse-faced monk, he said: "Now I will give you a chance. If you don't leave, Hugh Blame my subordinates for being ruthless!"

"Senior Lan, you have to think carefully, there is no need to offend our Demon Fate Business Alliance for an outsider!"

"Do you want me to say it again?" Lan Chao's tone became cold.

Brother Horseface communicated with his two companions in secret. They knew that if Lan Chao beat them, it would probably be for nothing.

"Senior Blue, this matter is endless!" After speaking, the three of them walked out of the shop together.

Watching them leave, Qin Chuan cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Fellow Daoist Lan, for saving the siege, this favor Qin has written down!"

"You don't have to be polite, Daoist Qin. It's just that this matter may be a bit difficult to handle. The Demon Fate Merchant Alliance and our Cross-Ocean Merchant Alliance have always been at odds, and I'm not afraid of offending them. However, the other party is targeting you like this. I suspect there is another reason!"

"Oh, aren't your four major business alliances connected with each other?"

"This is the case with the outside world, but there is a saying that colleagues are enemies, and some frictions will inevitably occur in the business field, and there are several magic gates behind the Magic Fate Business Alliance, so they often act aggressively, unlike our cross-sea business alliance that pays more attention to Goodwill!"

Hearing the power behind the other party, Qin Chuan's heart moved, "Fellow Daoist Yi Lan, what should I do next?"

Lan Chao pondered a little, "First of all, let's occupy the word Li, isn't it the alchemist's scroll, I'll send someone to send it!" After finishing speaking, he sent out a sound transmission talisman.

Qin Chuan felt that things were a little tricky. If he was in Hanhai, he wouldn't have to worry about anything, but at the moment of the Thirteen Continents Competition, and on someone else's territory, it's really inappropriate to do it rashly. a sound pass.

After a while, several people walked into the shop. The leader was a middle-aged man who was very dignified, and beside him was the horse-faced monk just now.

"Who am I to be so rampant, dare to stop my business management committee from carrying out official duties, it turns out to be Deacon Lan of the Trans-Ocean Business Alliance!"

"Tch... performing official duties? Please don't insult the word official duties!"

The middle-aged man raised his eyebrows, "Lan, you have nothing to do here, if you are sensible, leave!"

Lan Chao sneered, "What if I insist?"

"Then I have to be sorry!"

Of course, Qin Chuan couldn't let Lan Chao go on top, otherwise he would be in a big debt of favor, so he couldn't help but sigh, "You are that 'slut', right? Do you know the consequences of breaking into a private house?"

"What is breaking into a private house, you are operating illegally, and our business management committee has the right to investigate and deal with it!"

The middle-aged man is very vigilant. If he is really labeled as trespassing in the cave, things will be difficult. After all, this is a relatively taboo thing in the world of cultivating immortals, especially here in Jinque City. To put it bluntly, it is Being beaten to death is also a death in vain, and although the person in front of him is only at the late stage of Jindan, he still knows the strength of the opponent, and he is not sure that he can win the opponent. It’s not a big deal, but dying in the city is a serious “diplomatic” incident. At that time, some people must be sacrificed to calm the anger of the Hanhai people. The purpose of their setup is not to claim their lives, but to get back a treasure.

"You have to figure it out, I'm an alchemist, and I just collect some medicinal materials to make alchemy. If you don't get out, none of you guys will leave!"

"Who is so rampant and dares to do something in Jinque City!" A yin and yang voice came from outside, and then a mighty middle-aged man in purple and gold armor walked into the shop, "Tsk tsk, so many people, it's really lively !"

When Lan Chao saw this person, his face became ugly, and he secretly sent a voice transmission to Qin Chuan: "This person is Meng Chunlei, the city guard commander of Jinque City, and Meng Chunyang is his nephew!"

Qin Chuan nodded. This man surnamed Meng has been hanging around for a long time, but the other party seems to be a little impatient. It would be better if he came in after a fight inside, and now he came in early, just giving himself a chance to make use of the problem , suddenly shouted, "What a thief, how dare you break into a private house!"

Before he finished speaking, a white beam of light suddenly shot out from his sleeve.
