Chapter 241: Forced
"Master Zhuang, Master Yan, Master Zhang..."
"What kind of wind is this that has brought you here."
Wang Yan stood at the door, looking at the crowd in front of him with a smile on his face.
The originally bustling streets had been cleared out at some point, leaving only a dozen or so monks from the three major sects in front of them.
He quickly extended his hand to invite:
"Everyone,
please come in quickly." "Haha, little friend Shen, don't make fun of us. You are famous now, and you are much busier than us old guys."
Zhuang Yi from the Xuli Sect joked with a smile.
Hui Feng Gu Yanqing and Dan Longmen Zhang, who were behind them, also nodded one after another. They did not refuse. The three of them and the familiar faces behind them, such as Wang Tang, Feng Bao, Zhang Yunlong and others, also filed in immediately.
Wang Ba looked at the backs of these people walking into his mansion, and his eyes couldn't help but become solemn.
"Why did these people suddenly come to me together?"
"Are they going to attack me? No, that's probably not the case. If they were to attack me, it wouldn't require so many people."
But for a moment, he really couldn't figure it out. I felt a little uneasy in my heart.
He hesitated.
His thoughts moved slightly and he sent a message to the other side.
After that, he strode into the house.
...
"Young friend Shen, it looks like there are a lot of spiritual beasts here."
Zhuang Yi stood under the eaves, looked around at the grass in front of him, and said with a smile.
Although Wang Ba put away most of the spirit beasts in time, it was not easy to erase the remaining aura for a while.
Especially for Jindan Zhenren, who has a more sensitive aura, it is not difficult to detect these.
Wang Ba didn't look nervous. Hearing this, he just smiled helplessly and said:
"They are all used for practicing in the past. There is no way. I am a spirit chef after all. I don't have much contact with spirit beasts. How can I deal with the physical structure of spirit beasts?" Understand clearly."
"Come, Master, please have some tea."
Zhuang Yi nodded slightly when he heard the words.
Huifeng Gu Yanqing on the side sighed:
"It's no wonder that little friend Shen is so accomplished in the spirit chicken essence. He seems to be practicing hard on weekdays." "
Master Yan is really over-praised, it's just an ordinary skill. In the final analysis, a monk still depends on his level of cultivation."
Wang Hao smiled and changed the topic.
Immediately, he hurriedly called to the old man in gray who was still silent and showed his age:
"Zhang Zhenren, you also want tea."
This Zhang Zhenren is Zhang Yunlong's great-grandfather, the elder of Danlong Sect second only to the master. He has high qualifications in the cultivation world of Yan State.
Hearing Wang Hao's greeting, a faint smile appeared on his face that was as wrinkled as chicken skin:
"Well, okay."
The attitude was lukewarm, but Wang Hao was slightly startled. .
Compared with Xuli Sect and Huifeng Valley, due to the existence of Wen Yong and the fact that Danlongmen once came forward to protect Wangba, the relationship between Danlongmen and Wangba was actually vaguely more friendly.
In the past, he had dealt with Master Jin Dan of Danlongmen, and the other party was quite friendly towards him.
It's not like it is now.
This abnormal attitude made Wang Hao feel slightly solemn.
He couldn't help but began to secretly think about the other party's purpose.
But there was no strange emotion on his face at all, and he was still chatting and laughing with the Jindan masters.
Compared with half a year ago, there were only three Jindan masters present who could overpower him in terms of momentum. Wang Tang, Feng Bao, Zhang Yunlong and others were all shorter than him.
It was clear that Wang Ba's state of cultivation had not changed much, but when he was speaking, no one like Wang Tang, the foundation-building monks, dared to interrupt or interrupt easily.
This is the change brought about by status and fame.
Although this change seems like a castle in the air, to a certain extent, it is real.
After going around in circles, Zhuang Yi glanced at Yan Qing, who was chatting and laughing, but never talked about serious matters, and Zhang Zhenren, who was silent throughout the whole process, and secretly cursed these two people for being unreliable.
It was obviously agreed before that everyone would speak together, but when things came to a close, everyone was quieter than the other.
Finally he couldn't hold it any longer:
"Wang Tang, you and your other brothers and sisters will go out first."
Wang Tang on the side was slightly startled, and immediately realized something, and couldn't help but glance at his elder, who had no composure. Somewhat black.
The sect leader asked you to call the other two families, but he didn't ask you to be the first to come forward!
But as an elder, Zhuang Yi spoke. If he as a disciple had any hesitation, it would be disrespectful to the Xuli Sect. He quickly bowed and said, "Yes!" "Junior Brother Xu
,
as well as fellow Daoist Feng Bao and Daoist Zhang Yunlong Friends, let's go together..."
Before Wang Tang could finish his words, Master Dan Longmenzhang, who had been silent on the side, suddenly spoke, with an old and dry voice: "Fellow Daoist Zhuang, if
something happens to you, I don't think you need to hide it. These children, they are the future of our three major sects, they might as well stay and listen, what do you think?"
Zhuang Yi was stunned when he heard this, what did he mean?
Didn't we discuss it together?
Hui Feng Gu Yanqing on the side had been chatting and laughing before, but now he was uncharacteristically silent and became silent.
The foundation-building monks below were also extremely quiet.
Wang Hao's heart felt slightly cold, and his eyes quietly swept over the three Jindan masters.
Especially when he stayed on Zhuang Yi for a while longer.
"It seems that the Xuli Sect should be taking the lead this time... What do they want to do?"
There was a lot of doubts in my heart.
And Zhuang Yi couldn't help but hesitate.
Zhang Zhenren of Danlongmen has extremely high qualifications, and the other party has said so. Without a better reason, it is not easy for him to reject the other party's proposal in front of everyone.
He hesitated and said:
"Then...then just listen to Zhang Zhenren."
After hearing this, the old Zhang Zhenren returned to his previous silent appearance, sitting next to the tea table and drinking tea gently.
And Wang Tang couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.
I feel really helpless.
Now that he has taken the initiative to come forward, he should show his authority as a leader and speak his mind, directly rejecting Zhang Zhenren of Danlongmen.
Now anyone who is not a fool can tell that it is the Xuli Sect who is causing trouble. The key is that he does not show the momentum of the Xuli Sect at all.
I really don’t know why the sect leader sent Elder Zhuang to handle this matter. He was too passive.
But thinking about the styles of several elders in the sect, he suddenly felt that the sect leader was too wise.
He couldn't help but sigh again in his heart:
"The Xuli Sect's success today is all due to the sect leader!"
Zhuang Yi was not aware of the twists and turns at all. He coughed, brewing his emotions, and his face He also became serious and looked at Wang Hao and said:
"To be honest, little friend Shen, our three sects came together this time. In fact, we have something to discuss with little friend Shen."
Wang Hao's face was a little stiff and he smiled and said:
"I have the favor of the three sects. It's okay for Master Zhuang to establish a foothold here." Upon hearing this, Zhuang Yi
seemed to be quite satisfied with Wang Yan's attitude. He nodded slightly, but there was a trace of shame on his face:
"This matter is really embarrassing. ... Xiaoyou Shen is refining the soul chicken essence. Our three sects have never drawn any water before. I originally thought that it would not be easy for Xiaoyou Shen, so we naturally need more support. But now that the number of casual cultivators in Yong'an City is increasing day by day, the burden of operation is also steep. Increase is also a last resort. On Xiaoyou Shen's side, we may have to extract some from the transaction flow in the future." "
Withdraw the flow? Shame! I never thought of this before, but since I am in Yong'an City, there is no need to say, since You should support the three sects!"
Although the reason Zhuang Yi said was really unconvincing, Wang Yan immediately understood what the other party meant. He was just jealous that he had sold so much spiritual chicken essence and wanted to get some from it. That’s all.
But this was normal, and Wang Yan breathed a sigh of relief.
When he saw the three major sects rushing over excitedly, he thought that the other party was forcing him to express his stance in front of the three sects and choose one among them.
It turns out that it would be much easier to just discuss the profit sharing with him.
He immediately said with a smile: "I don't know how much to draw. I'll tell Wen Yong and I will deduct it directly from him in future transactions." At this
time, Zhuang Yi stopped talking and turned to Yan Qing, who was returning to Fenggu. He winked.
Yan Qing felt helpless and stood up reluctantly, holding out four fingers.
"Four points?"
Wang Yan was slightly surprised. He didn't expect that the layout of the three major sects was quite large. Drawing water at four points was considered very conscientious.
However, what surprised him was that Yan Qing shook his head.
"Forty percent?"
Wang Yan couldn't help but widen his eyes.
"This... takes away 40% at once. Isn't it... a little too much?"
This is 40%! A hundred spirit stones were lost forty, no one could steal money so fast!
Even if Wang Yan's cost is not high, nearly half of the income from his hard work has been lost, which even he can't bear.
Hearing Wang Yan's words, Yan Qing was a little embarrassed and looked at Zhuang Yi with a troubled face:
"Fellow Taoist Zhuang, why don't you tell me?"
"Here, I..."
Zhuang Yi couldn't help but look at the tea table. Zhang Zhenren came up, but saw that the other person lowered his head without even looking.
He had no choice but to bite the bullet and said:
"Shen Xiaoyou, you misunderstood. It's not that you took away 40%... you kept 40%."
"Take 60%?!"
Wang Hao looked at Zhuang Yi in surprise.
When I stayed in the Tianmen Sect, the tax revenue for setting up a stall as a fifth-level monk was only 50%!
Are these three major sects more ruthless than the Tianmen Sect? !
"Haha, of course, it's just a discussion right now. We must reach a consensus among Li Zong, Huifeng Valley, Danlongmen, and you, Little Friend Shen, before we can implement it." "After all, I, Li Zong, have always been fair and just." "
Yes
. Let’s see what Shen Xiaoyou thinks.”
Zhuang Yi added as if to show Xuli Zong’s friendly attitude.
Hearing Zhuang Yi's words, Yan Qing, who was returning to the Wind Valley, couldn't help but look slightly cold.
Zhang Zhenren of Danlongmen also raised his head and glanced at Zhuang Yi, and then at Yan Qing, his eyes seemed to have deep meaning.
But Wang Ba only had a sneer in his heart.
The so-called negotiation is just a process. Even if he disagrees, the result will not be different.
Obviously, a 60% profit split is inevitable.
But what really concerned Wang Yan was the meaning behind it.
"It seems that Yuan Wenzhi guessed it right. The Xuli Sect has annexed the Five Classics Sect and its strength has greatly increased. The internal balance among the three major sects has been broken. I may have become the point of their struggle and distribution of interests. "
Wang Ba felt extremely solemn in his heart.
"Under such circumstances, it is impossible to be impartial... and it seems that the pattern among the three major sects has also changed. At least Huifeng Valley and Danlongmen have created a gap with the Xuli Sect."
"Now I am either leaning toward the Xuli Sect, or I am leaning towards Huifeng Valley or Danlongmen..." "I'm
afraid the Xuli Sect is forcing me to make a choice, right?" "
But the Zhenling Palace is still there, and the three major sects still need to cooperate with each other. It is impossible for us to really break up with each other. At most, we will fight but not break up the situation. In this case, I can do even less."
Wang Yan has not been hanging around in vain these years. Although it is limited by the lack of information, I can still see the basic situation clearly.
But a clever woman cannot make a meal without rice.
He was left alone in Yong'an City by the three major sects. Even though he had a very high reputation and status, in the final analysis, he still couldn't get off the ground and was just a castle in the air.
In the current situation, unless someone intervenes and breaks the delicate balance between the three major sects, he will have to hand over 60% of the profit.
"Li Ji's uncle..."
The first thing that popped into Wang Yan's mind was the female cultivator in the carriage.
The other party seems to have a very deep background and a high level of cultivation.
However, thinking that the other party had already said that he was not allowed to act in the other party's name, Wang Hao hesitated slightly and gave up.
We don't have many friends to begin with, but we can't make any more enemies.
And just when he was gritting his teeth and preparing to bleed, a rough voice suddenly sounded from the door:
"Little friend Shen, I'm here!"
It's Zhang Tailai!
Wang Ba's eyes suddenly lit up, how could he forget about him!
Isn’t this ready-made?
As Zhang Tailai's voice sounded, Zhuang Yi's face, which was originally as steady as Mount Tai, suddenly froze slightly.
Zhang Zhenren, who was always sitting at the table, also opened his wrinkled eyelids and glanced at the door like lightning.
Yan Qing, who returned to the Wind Valley, immediately recognized Zhang Tailai's voice and couldn't help showing a hint of surprise.
Except for the three golden elixir masters who could see clearly, everyone only felt their eyes flickering, and they saw a tall and burly monk with a rough face holding a giant hammer magic weapon, standing in front of Wang Ba like a giant spirit god.
The dangerous aura on his body was as real as any, and when he looked at everyone, he did not hide his vigilance and ferocity.
"Zhang Tailai!"
"He didn't leave?"
"Since he is here, Yuan Wenzhi is probably around here too!" The
Jindan cultivator wanted to hide his aura, and hiding in Yong'an City where Jindan Master is not permanently stationed was really unreasonable. It couldn't be simpler.
The three golden elixir masters were completely unaware that there was a golden elixir loose cultivator hidden opposite Wang Ba's mansion.
It's just that the three people had different reactions to this.
Zhuang Yi's face was solemn, and his magic power instantly gathered.
Zhang Zhenren and Yan Qing had different expressions.
"Little friend Shen, is someone trying to hurt you?"
Zhang Tailai said in a muffled voice.
He glanced at the three golden elixir monks and looked at Master Zhang's face, with a hint of fear appearing on his face.
Wang Hao quickly stepped forward and grabbed Zhang Tailai.
"Master Zhang, I misunderstood, I misunderstood. These are all my friends here!"
Zhang Tailai seemed a little unconvinced when he heard this:
"Are these people? I think the way Zhuang Yi looks at you doesn't seem right..."
Xu Li Zhuang Yi, the leader of the clan, suddenly turned cold and scolded:
"Zhang Tailai! Don't talk nonsense! Xiaoyou Shen and I are close friends, so how could we have any thoughts about Xiaoyou Shen!"
Wang Yan couldn't help but secretly raised his eyebrows at Zhang Tailai. Thumb, this guy looks naive and silly, but his eyesight is not bad at all!
At a glance, he could see the most critical person in the whole situation.
But naturally he couldn't follow Zhang Tailai's words. He quickly showed a wry smile and stopped him:
"Misunderstanding, misunderstanding, Mr. Zhuang, Mr. Zhang, these are all misunderstandings."
"Really?"
Seeing that Wang Yan's face didn't seem to be fake, Zhang Tailai put away the magic weapon with hesitation, but still stared at Zhuang Yi from time to time.
Although Zhuang Yi had a dark face, he didn't say anything anymore.
Yuan Wenzhi and Zhang Tailai, the sworn brothers, were also quite famous as a pair of golden elixir cultivators in Yan State.
As for any Jindan master who can grow up under the high pressure of the four major sects, even if he is not as good as the sect monks, he is still far behind.
Therefore, Zhuang Yi did not dare to underestimate the other party.
Especially everyone knows that Zhang Tailai is not very bright. If it sounds good, it is called pure, but if it sounds bad, it is short-sighted.
It would be unwise to mess with such a person.
I thought he had left before, but I didn't expect him to be nearby.
Thinking of this, Zhuang Yi looked at Wang Ba with a hint of vigilance and caution.
Only then did he realize that what the sect leader said before was so correct. This Shen Fu was indeed a rare talent and indeed very dangerous.
It's only the early stage of foundation building, but it can make all the Jindan cultivators take the lead.
If you can't use this kind of talent for your own use, you will definitely suffer endless disasters!
But at this time, Wang Yan took the initiative and said:
"By the way, Master Zhuang just said that 60% of the profits will be taken... This is not because I don't want to support it, but because I am refining the spirit chicken essence, the cost itself is extremely high. High, there is really not that big a profit."
If Zhuang Yi's formulation is followed, he only has 40% of the turnover left. Excluding the costs of chicken feed, spiritual materials required to prepare the treatment solution, etc., what he has left is not too much.
They were reduced to working for the three major sects.
If he did this, he might as well leave here and go to Linglong Ghost Market to sell from time to time.
Although it is a lot more troublesome than before and I make less money, but at least I can keep most of my income.
After hearing Wang Ba's words, Zhuang Yi couldn't help but sneered secretly.
What I want is to make you no profit!
Even losing money!
Xu Li Zong also makes spiritual food at home, so he knows very well how profitable spiritual food is.
Let alone 60%, even if it is 20%, the profit of spiritual food will be almost gone.
Therefore, this 60% proposal is simply difficult to convince.
And only if he relents, is willing to join the Xuli Sect, and contributes the method of refining the spirit chicken essence, will the Xuli Sect let him go.
Of course, once Xuli Zong masters the method of refining the spirit chicken essence, it will be impossible for this application to have the status it has today.
At best, he is just an ordinary monk who is good at various arts.
Of course, for the sake of protecting the spirit chicken essence production method, even if this application is not made, it is impossible for the opponent to leave the Xuli Sect.
But staying in the sect and enjoying the blessings all your life is not a bad thing compared to those casual cultivators who are precarious and can't even save up pills.
Thinking of this, Zhuang Yi suddenly looked embarrassed:
"This... To be honest, it costs a lot of money for the three major sects to maintain order in Yong'an City. We just have to leave the sect. There are also Huifeng Valley and Danlongmen. This is not mine. The whole family has the final say."
Yan Qing's face suddenly darkened again, and he was about to have an attack, but he seemed to have thought of something and held it back.
And Zhang Zhenren's wrinkled face couldn't help but look a little ugly.
Saying this in front of both families is a bit excessive.
For a moment, the surroundings became much quieter.
But at this moment, a rough voice broke the silence.
Zhang Tailai laughed loudly:
"Zhuang Yi, are you crazy about Lingshi? Da Chu's tax is only 20%, and you are better than Da Chu!"
Zhuang Yi's face suddenly darkened, and he stared at Zhang Tailai coldly. , suppressing his anger and said:
"Zhang Daoyou, if you don't manage a place, you don't know the difficulties involved..." "
I don't know, but I know that you are jealous that Little You Shen can earn a lot of spiritual stones! Don't think that Little You Shen can earn a lot of spiritual stones. Those who are low in strength are easy to bully. Me, my eldest brother, and Lao Kang all support Xiaoyou Shen! My eldest brother also has a few good friends from the Qiao and Xu countries, and they will all be introduced to Xiaoyou Shen when the time comes!" Zhang Tailai stared
, But there was a trace of unruliness on the honest face:
"When the time comes, our seven or eight Jindan cultivators will just start a sect and let Shen Xiaoyou be the sect leader!" "
With Shen Xiaoyou's reputation, we can attract a lot of sects." Xiu!"
"Beat you Xuli Sect into shit!"
"Bastard!"
Even though Zhuang Yi was afraid of the other party and Yuan Wenzhi, who was mostly hiding in the dark, he suddenly became furious when he heard this!
Fortunately, Yan Qing had quick eyesight and quick hands, and quickly rushed to Zhuang Yi's side, holding down the other person's arm that was about to cast a spell.
"Fellow Daoist Zhuang, don't be impulsive! Don't be impulsive! Why are you angry with him? It's not like you don't know him."
Zhang Zhenren, who had never spoken much, also rarely appeared next to Zhuang Yi and said earnestly:
"Fellow Daoist Zhuang, Fellow Daoist Yan is right, why are you so angry with him?"
The two comforted each other, but vaguely blocked Zhuang Yi behind.
At this time, Wang Yan, who was standing behind Zhang Tailai, couldn't help but look at Zhang Tailai in surprise.
It was as if I had met this person for the first time.
But he didn't speak, he squinted his eyes and watched quietly.
Seeing Zhuang Yi being stopped, Zhang Tailai had no intention of stopping. He waved the giant hammer in his hand and said angrily: "
Let him come over! See if I don't blow his head off!"
"We can't bear to leave you. We have been together for a long time! You must leave the sect and treat us the most ruthlessly!" "
That Yanqing who returned to Fenggu, didn't your sect leader want to recruit my brother before? I agreed on behalf of my eldest brother! As long as you agree to unify the Yan Kingdom , kill these people who want to leave the clan!"
Hearing Zhang Tailai's words, Yan Qing suddenly trembled, and quickly defended:
"Nonsense! This is completely invisible!"
Zhuang Yi couldn't help but look at Yan Qing warily.
Zhang Zhenren on the side couldn't help but look at Yan Qing with a hint of meaning in his eyes.
However, after this farce, Zhuang Yi finally woke up.
He couldn't help but glance at Wang Hao behind Zhang Tailai, and suddenly remembered what Zhang Tailai had just said.
"Zhang Tailai is right! This Shenfu is so famous right now, and with the support of Yuan Wenzhi, Zhang Tailai and the others, maybe they can really pull together a group of casual cultivators and establish the fifth sect of the Yan Kingdom!" "
This I'm afraid senior brother has never imagined it!"
"Huifeng Valley is actually in contact with casual cultivators like Yuan Wenzhi!" "
Fortunately, this Zhang Tailai didn't mince his words, but he reminded me all of a sudden!" "
No! I have to. Tell your senior brother about this crisis as soon as possible!"
"Otherwise, it will be too late to regret it!"
Thinking of this, he suddenly had an idea.
He said: "Everyone, since there is a dispute, why don't we go back first. After adding up, I will also discuss it with my senior brother to see if I can give Shen Xiaoyou a reasonable ratio." To his surprise, Yan Qing and
Zhang The real person nodded in agreement.
"This is the only way to deal with this situation."
"Shen Xiaoyou, what do you say?"
Zhuang Yi looked at Wang Ba.
Wang Hao showed a slight smile: "It's all up to Master Zhuang."
"Okay, okay!"
Zhuang Yi nodded with satisfaction. Although he couldn't wait, he still took the lead to leave with Wang Tang and other monks from the Xuli Sect after some greetings. .
Yanqing, who was returning to the Wind Valley, looked at Wang Hao and Zhang Tailai and couldn't help but show hesitation. After thinking for a while, he gave Wang Hao a gentle smile and left.
Only Zhang Zhenren from Danlongmen was left. After Yanqing left, he showed a kind smile to Wang Ba.
"Don't be surprised, little friend Shen. The situation is really compelling."
"I understand that Master Zhang doesn't need to be embarrassed."
The two exchanged a few words, and Master Zhang vaguely showed his intention to solicit. This time, Wang Yan did not refuse directly, but just He didn't agree immediately.
Xuli Zong's intention to persecute him was clearly visible, and it was time for him to plan an escape route.
"If you need anything, little friend Shen, you can tell me."
Zhang Zhenren said with deep meaning.
Wang Ba was stunned when he heard this, but was quite surprised immediately, and quickly informed the other party of the bloodline breakthrough materials needed by Bailong Sulfur and other Wu Ape Kings.
"White Dragon Sulfur is currently only available in Huifeng Valley and Zhenling Palace, but I have no choice."
Zhang Zhenren shook his head and said: "However, we have a few other spiritual materials in our sect, and there are still some, which may cost money." It takes a little effort to get it."
Wang Yan immediately understood what the other party meant.
You can provide him with spiritual materials, but you can only give him part of it. The rest can only be given to him after he has determined his attitude.
Even so, Wang Yan was very happy.
After talking briefly for a while, each left their transmission notes, Zhang Zhenren also left.
"These sect monks must be frightened!"
Zhang Tailai put away the giant hammer weapon and couldn't help but muttered.
Wang Hao glanced at the other party, his expression was as usual, but he didn't say anything.
after one day.
It’s finally the day when the second floor of Linglong Ghost Market is open.
Wang Hao closed the third-order magic circle tightly, gave Bu Chan some more instructions, and then activated the teleportation talisman and appeared in a mountain stream.
I drove carefully and quickly, and finally arrived at the nearest entrance to Linglong Ghost Market before dark.
After some tossing, he successfully reached the second floor.
As soon as he walked out of the teleportation array, he unexpectedly saw a familiar figure standing not far away.
Two chapters in one, nothing else for the evening, don’t wait, thank you
for the 500-point reward from Tianbian Yiwi
(this chapter is over)
