The Fourth Financial Crisis

Yang Lu and Han Fulai looked over after hearing the words and found that the speaker was a handsome young swordsman with a calm and majestic attitude.

This swordsman was wearing an exquisite blue and white robe, and he was actually a monk in the Qi Refining Stage of the Infinite Sword Sect.

Faced with this person's unceremonious speech, Han Fulai did not show any dissatisfaction. Instead, he replied respectfully: "Master Lin Xian, our fleet is moving very fast. There are only about four days left to sail from Yanbo Island."

Han Fulai's respect was not without reason, because this Immortal Master Lin was the secret trump card of the Wuliang Sword Sect to reinforce the outlying islands!

This person's name is Lin Dong, and he is the nephew of Lin Jianxing, the leader of Wuliang Sword Sect. He has just turned twenty-one this year and possesses the sixth level of Qi Refining. This qualification may seem ordinary, but like Yang Lu, he has a complete golden wheel of merit!

However, Lin Dong is not an academic genius.

The reason why he was able to cultivate the Golden Wheel of Merit at such a young age was mainly because Lin Jianxing forced him into the Lingshi Reserve Bank and gave him a core position in the most important Monetary Policy Committee!

Under normal circumstances, cultivators who are qualified for core positions in the Lingshi Reserve Bank must have at least the academic qualifications of Xu Yannan.

However, Li Qingyang was not willing to offend Lin Jianxing easily. Faced with Lin Jianxing's behavior of forcibly placing related accounts within Lingshi Reserve Bank, Li Qingyang just pretended not to see it, which was a huge favor sold to Lin Jianxing.

Ordinary monks in the middle stage of Qi refining must have two golden wheels of merit to enter the Ten Thousand Miles of Smoke Formation. In order to send Lin Dong to the outlying island to exterminate the Huoyun State forces, the Wuliang Sword Sect also specially used a treasure of merit.

This kind of treasure of merit is different from ordinary merit sacrificial vessels. It is a treasure formed by the lifetime merit of a legendary monk with more than four golden wheels of merit after his incarnation. It can temporarily increase the merit level of other monks.

These treasures of merit are extremely valuable, and they are all non-renewable consumables.

The treasure of merit used by the Wuliang Sword Sect this time is the treasure of merit left by Luo Shen, a well-known sect management master in Kyushu, the author of the "Management Regulations of the Zhongzhou Sect", and the supreme elder of the Yuan Ying period of the Wuliang Sword Sect.

After the legendary cultivation management master passed away, his five golden wheels of merit were condensed into his famous manuscript "Sect Management - My Theory and Practice in the Wuliang Sword Sect". In order to ensure that the Wuliang Sword Sect will The Yunzhou forces were expelled from the island, which directly consumed one-fifth of the power of this manuscript, temporarily increasing Lin Dong's Golden Wheel of Merit level to two levels.

As a recognized rising star of the Wuliang Sword Sect, Lin Dong not only possesses the Golden Wheel of Merit, but also possesses the ultimate spiritual root qualification. If there were other options, Lin Jianxing would not be willing to send such a genius to an outlying island as a thug.

It's just that the early stage of Qi refining and the middle stage of Qi refining are the fastest stages for cultivators to advance. Any genius who can cultivate the golden wheel of merit in these two stages will soon advance to the late stage of Qi refining, and will naturally lose the opportunity to enter. Eligibility for outlying islands.

For example, Xu Yannan's Golden Wheel of Merit was also cultivated in the middle stage of Qi Refining, but he is now a monk in the middle stage of Foundation Establishment.

The cultivation aptitudes of the disciples of the Wuliang Sword Sect are very astonishing. Very few of them waste too much time in the early and middle stages of Qi refining, which makes it difficult to find other candidates with "high merit and low cultivation".

Despite this, Lin Dong does not feel that going to the outlying island is an adventure. This is not because he is young and energetic, but because he has practiced the strongest swordsmanship inheritance of Wuliang Sword Sect [Six Paths Sword]. Even if Tian Beixi is Tian Daxiao's direct disciple, he is sure to defeat his opponent within three moves.

According to the secret information from the outlying islands, Tian Beixi, the female monk sent by the Shenhuo Sect to the outlying islands, only had the third level of Qi refining. She only had the means to restore spiritual energy on the outlying islands with the help of some unknown magic method. However, the early stage of Qi refining is only the early stage of Qi refining, and the combat effectiveness cannot be compared with that of the middle stage of Qi refining, not to mention that Lin Dong has two golden wheels of merit and blessings.

Of course, as a secret trump card to reinforce the outlying islands, Lin Dong also has another task that cannot be mentioned on the table, which is to serve as the supervisor of the Wuliang Sword Sect's fleet stationed in Haiya to prevent Han Fulai from doing anything during this operation to reinforce the outlying islands. Conducted actions that seriously harmed the interests of Wuliang Sword Sect.

After all, the Wuliang Sword Sect did not directly come forward in this operation, but entrusted the Haiya Sect with full authority to handle it. This kind of agency relationship can easily cause serious moral hazards. It is strange that the Wuliang Sword Sect does not send anyone to supervise.

Hearing that it would take more than four days to reach the outlying island, Lin Dong said with some disdain: "Haiya Sect is really just a local sect, but it is so petty in doing things! If I had known this, I would have taken the Flying Spirit Boat to the outlying island by myself!"

Han Fulai did not dare to offend the leader of the Wuliang Sword Sect, so he patiently explained: "Master Lin Immortal doesn't know something. The Ten Thousand Miles of Yanbo Formation is very magical. Someone must hold a token from the inside to guide us before we can enter the outlying island. Lord of Yanbo Island Xu Tong only has a token, and we have made an appointment with him at the meeting place. We must be at a specific place to break through the ancient immortal's restrictions."

Lin Dong knew that his question was a bit timid, so he snorted coldly and said nothing more.

However, when he caught a glimpse of Yang Lu's Golden Sword Sect costume, he became interested again: "I heard that this time I went to the outlying island, there was a Golden Sword Sect monk accompanying me. It seems to be you? Why have I never heard of the Golden Sword Sect? Does the door have a guy like you?"

There are no ordinary cultivators who can cultivate the Golden Wheel of Merit in the early stage of Qi refining.

Even in the Wuliang Sword Sect, only a few super-connected people like Lin Dong, and an even smaller number of lucky ones who happen to write important academic papers, can receive the blessing of the Golden Wheel of Merit so quickly. I heard that this is what happened to the Golden Sword Sect. Waiting for a genius, even a guy like Lin Dong who has higher eyesight can't help but become curious.

Regarding the other party's condescending attitude, Yang Lu didn't care and said: "This is Yang Lu of Jindaomen. He studied under Xu Yannan, a monetary policy observer at Lingshi Reserve Bank Haiya. He has never left the Haiya area before. Lin Daoyou has not heard of it. It’s normal.”

"Are you a monk from the Golden Sword Sect in Haiya City?" Hearing what Yang Lu said, Lin Dong showed a rare expression of interest, "Then you must know Li Qingning! I heard that she even went there specifically to open a chamber of commerce. Start a business in Haiya City."

Yang Lu suddenly raised his eyebrows and said, "Oh? Fellow Daoist Lin actually knows Miss Qingning?"

Lin Dong laughed loudly and said: "Li Qingning is a famous beauty in Zhongzhou's cultivation world! I still remember that she begged me to lend her some money in order to open a chamber of commerce. In the end, I thought she was pitiful and reluctantly lent it to her. Three hundred thousand spirit stone coins. But if she can’t pay off the debt by then...hehehe..."

Even though Yang Lu was well-educated, seeing him comment on Li Qingning like this made him feel angry.

This was also the first time he knew that a young lady like Li Qingning, who was obsessed with face, would actually ask for help in order to raise funds. It was no wonder that she was so concerned about the business of the Qingning Chamber of Commerce, and she had spent a lot of money this time.

If his beautiful eldest daughter has to give up for five buckets of rice without his own help, then he is no longer worthy of being a man!

Yang Lu glanced at Lin Dong coldly and stopped talking.

At this time, he had already begun to think about whether he should take advantage of the opportunity to kill this guy while he was far away from the island. He wanted to see what Lin could do to find Li Qingning if he was not even alive. Debt collection!

Although Yang Lu is very meticulous in his work, he is actually a bold person. He never thought that Lin Dong was a big deal just because he was a relative of Lin Jianxing.

If Ji Sihan can't be caught, it doesn't seem to be a loss to get rid of the creditor who owed Li Qingning a huge sum of money!

In fact, the main purpose of Lin Dong's rude words to Li Qingning was to show off how awesome he was. He didn't know the relationship between Yang Lu and Li Qingning, and he definitely didn't mean to target Yang Lu intentionally.

Even for princes like Xu Yannan and Lu Anping, it would be difficult for them to come up with 300,000 spirit stones in cash, but as a relative of the head of Wuliang Sword Sect, Lin Dong could easily come up with 300,000 spirit stones. Stone coins, and even Li Qingning, a well-known beauty in the world of cultivation, borrowed money from him, so of course he had to brag about it.

However, this unlucky guy didn't know that just because he inadvertently boasted something awesome, Yang Lu had other thoughts.

Seeing that Yang Lu didn't answer his questions at all, Lin Dong felt very bored and once again complained about the Haiya Chamber of Commerce's merchant ships as slow as a turtle. He yawned and returned to the luxurious cabin specially prepared for him by Han Fulai.
