Chapter 224: Identity of Jing Guo

After taking charge of the spirit ship, two teams of demonic sect cultivators, searching from the bottom up.

First, there were a few screams that came from the cargo hold underneath.

"Liang clan goons, kill!"

"Can't pay the ransom?"

"I've signed a contract with the Chamber of Commerce, can I find my master's family to borrow some of the spirit stones?"

Lu Chang'an secretly observed that except for the cultivators with suspected clan status, others could pay the ransom in exchange for their lives.

Overall, the status of a casual cultivator is greater than that of a family cultivator, and greater than that of a clan.

Liang cultivators who have signed the contract and do not have enough spirit stones can borrow money from the Chamber of Commerce.

The Chamber of Commerce can further increase the debt by increasing the constraints of the contract of sale.

Because of the hope of survival, coupled with the strong force deterrent, few cultivators resisted.

Cultivators of the Jing State Merchant Alliance, who want to do business for a long time, would rather break the bank.

Not to mention, Lu Changan suspected that the leading Nine Stars Chamber of Commerce had colluded with the Xuan Yin Demon Cult.

The Cult of the Demon is very meticulous in its scrutiny.

After waiting for half an hour, Lu Changan heard footsteps approaching his room.

Two devil cultivators stepped into the room.

At the same moment, Lu Chang'an sensed a False Pill level of Divine Sense, lingering on his body.

"Name, identity, and origin?"

One of the Devil Cult cultivators at the late Foundation Establishment stage, holding a special magic weapon in his hand, interrogated.

"My name is Wu Fan, a loose cultivator from the Liang Kingdom, now a member of the Jing Kingdom's Five Fortunes Chamber of Commerce."

Lu Changan took out the previously signed spirit contract.

The Demon Cult cultivator took the spiritual contract and after inspecting it, he asked a few more questions to test the authenticity of Lu Changan's identity as a casual cultivator.

Lu Chang'an was already a casual cultivator and answered without a drop of water.

If his identity is fine, he is not the target of the demonic sect and his life is not in danger.

"The ransom for a Foundation Establishment cultivator is 6,000, and cultivators from the Jing State Merchant Alliance are required to pay half of that."

"This is the ransom."

Lu Changan was very dry and took out three thousand spirit stones.

He had more than 100,000 spirit stones on him, and his wealth far exceeded that of a False Dan Realist, so this amount of spirit stones was not worth mentioning.

But he should not spend the money on the road, and silently write it down in his heart.

Lu Chang'an recognized the spirit stones for purchasing the boat ticket.

Other exploits, such as the high cost of the rooms, the spirit stones to pay the ransom, he makes a small entry.

There's no such thing as deep hatred.

The rest of his life is long, the path is boring, and there is always a chance to get back at him.

"Open your storage bag!"

The Devil Cult cultivator's eyes flashed with a brilliant aura.

The Liang cultivators they had previously searched had been squeezed many times and had almost nothing in their possession in terms of spirit stones. Either they used magic weapon materials to offset the low price, or they looked for the Chamber of Commerce to borrow them.

There were very few cultivators like Lu Chang'an who could still take out 3,000 spirit stones.

Lu Chang'an's face changed, slightly hesitant.

"Hurry up, what are you waiting for?"

Under the urging of the Demon Cult cultivator, he opened his storage bag.

After inspecting it, the two Demon Cult cultivators showed disappointment.

There were not many Spirit Stones left in the storage bag, and the rest of the items were only at the level of a normal middle stage Foundation Establishment.

They were too lazy to find fault with the value of these items.

Lu Changan was expressionless as he watched the two Demon Cult cultivators leave.

He had prepared for this kind of situation as early as when he moved into the guest room.

The storage pouches and spirit pet pouches of the valuables on Lu Changan's body were wrapped in insulating materials created by the Phantom Shadow Stone, along with the concealment prohibitions, and hidden in the corners of the room.

Unless a True Dan Cultivator was to visit in person, they would not be able to see the clues.

Lu Chang'an passed the barrier with relative ease.

Fang Zhong, the purple-faced strong man in the next room, experienced some thrills.

The monk of the devil's cult judged that he was practicing martial arts from the Liang clan through a special magic weapon.

"Fang is a traitor to the clan! A deserter from the battlefield! On the wanted list there are names and surnames...... I hope the Holy Sect will be clear about this!"

Fang Zhong turned pale with fear and shook out his details. "A traitor wanted by the sect? Let this person go."

Xiang Jinglong, who was not far away, sniffed and took out a jade cylinder to check before commanding.

Fang Zhong was as if he had been pardoned, and with very few spirit stones left on his body, he barely paid the ransom by offsetting it with magic weapons, pills, and talismans.

......

Two hours later, the search of the rooms on the first and second floors of the spirit ship was completed.

There were almost no casualties among the Jing Chamber of Commerce's cultivators.

Some of the Liang cultivators were arrested and killed. Some of them were taken away as "suspicious targets".

Lu Chang'an realized that most of the "suspicious targets" were Liang cultivators with outstanding skills.

Lu Chang'an realized that most of the "suspicious targets" were Liang cultivators with outstanding skills.

A few of these craftsmen had dealt with Miss Wei at the previous trade fair.

Lu Chang'an did not reveal his real skills, so he saved himself a lot of trouble.

Their group of Liang cultivators who boarded the ship were essentially illegal stowaways and parasites.

They were lucky to reach Jing safely.

It is impossible to enjoy the status and treatment of normal times.

Whether one was a former Foundation Establishment Ancestor or a respected craftsman.

It is only when one arrives in the Jing Kingdom and acquires a legitimate identity that one can regain the status they once deserved.

"After checking the first and second floors, went to the third floor."

Lu Chang'an found Xiang Jinglong and another False Dan of the Demon Sect, leading most of the cultivators, gathering on the third floor.

The third floor of the Spirit Ship has quite a few superior rooms.

Regardless of which country's cultivators are staying, their status and background are not bad.

The Xuan Yin Demon Cult must also be treated with caution.

When searching, the demonic sect practitioners are polite and follow the rules.

"Take away!"

Miss Wei, who was staying in the upper class guest room and wearing a veil, was taken away as a "suspicious target" by the monk of the Demon Sect.

Lu Chang'an thought: Miss Wei boarded the ship earlier, she was injured, or she encountered trouble and left Liang with the help of the Nine Stars Chamber of Commerce's spirit ship to return to the Demon Sect.

At the same time, she was on the ship as an insider to find out the details of the various cultivators and identify valuable targets.

"Huh? Mr. Wang's room, this is prepared to stay for the final search?"

Lu Chang'an observed the route of the two False Dan cultivators leading the search and speculated.

According to reason, with the location of Wang Gongzi's room, it would not be so bad as to stay at the end.

It was as if the Devil Cult's cultivators had done so deliberately.

"The order of search is from low to high."

"Cultivators who have already been searched, though slaughtered and paying ransom, do not have to risk resisting after they are out of danger."

Lu Changan's eyes flickered and he couldn't help but guess the Devil Cult's schemes.

Bang!

On the third floor of the Spirit Ship, in Prince Wang's superior guest room, the window was smashed to smithereens by a slap.

"Bold!"

Xiang Jinglong and the middle-aged False Dan had prepared for this, and each of them threw a punch and a palm, and the Dan power that was as violent as a torrent sealed the window's path to the outside of the ship.

"Gongzi, save me--"

The white skinned and beautiful foundation servant girl let out a terrified scream and was thrown out of the window.

With a loud bang, the girl was swept into a froth of flesh by the powerful dan force.

Boom click!

The room where Mr. Wang was in, then burst open.

The main frame of the spirit ship, refined with second-order top-grade materials, was very sturdy.

The rest of the construction materials, although inferior, were also reinforced by spells, so that an ordinary Foundation Establishment Stage wouldn't be able to destroy it that easily.

However, under the attack of a False Dan real person, these buildings are like paper thin.

"Remnants of the demonic sect! Dare to challenge the authority of Li Huo Palace!"

A loud shout rang out like spring thunder.

The hunchbacked old man accompanying Duke Wang erupted into a dazzling blue dan fire, as if it was a blazing cauldron, incinerating and vaporizing the dan power of Xiang Jinglong's duo.

"Old piker! The Li Huo Palace is in a state of self-care, and still dares to take the chicken feather as an arrow!"

"Tsk tsk, the war is not yet settled, yet your Palace Elder sends his offspring to a neighboring country, if the sect cultivators fighting on the frontline knew about it, wouldn't it be chilling?"

Xiang Jinglong's duo, unperturbed, pestered the hunchbacked old man with one on the left and one on the right.

Moo~

The Black Wind Savage Bull above his head emits a dull and alarming hiss, and opens its mouth to roll out a piece of black wind, covering the hunchbacked old man.

The hunchbacked old ancestor picked up Wang Gongzi, who was wearing a golden robe, and performed a secret technique to urge the recluse, but his body was pulled by a terrifying force, as if he was caught in a quagmire. "Duke! You go one step ahead!"

The hunchbacked old ancestor pushed Duke Wang into the distance.

His face flushed red, his abdomen bulged, and the dan flames around him contracted steeply, tinted with a layer of red-blooded light and haze.

The spiritual pressure on his body suddenly climbed, approaching the early stage of True Dan.

This is the first time I've seen this! Whew!

The hunchbacked old man opened his mouth and spat out a fire shield magic treasure, transforming into a large city wall, burning the sky with rage.

The black wind spat out by the Black Wind Brute Bull was blocked by it for a breath.

"Capture Mr. Wang!"

Xiang Jinglong led several Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators to surround and intercept.

The beams of magic treasures, magic weapons, and various colors of spells enveloped the "Wang Gongzi" who flew out a hundred feet away.

"There was a loud bang.

Mr. Wang's body shattered into thousands of broken pieces of wood.

"Fake Substitute!"

Xiang Jinglong's face changed drastically as his divine sense swept all corners of the scene, searching for the location of Duke Wang's real body.

"Duke Wang has used the Small Shifting Talisman."

Suddenly, Miss Wei's voice transmission rang in his ears.

"A small transfer talisman? We were watching the whole time, when did he vanish?"

Xiang Jinglong was incredulous.

"At the moment when your three great False Dans collided, overshadowing its movement."

"Fortunately, this girl had contact with Mr. Wang before and memorized his aura through the Empty Underworld Spirit Pearl."

Miss Wei was captured in the open, but she was steering and directing in the dark.

"That old piker fought to the death, leave it to the Black Wind Savage Bull."

"The two of you, together with this girl, will capture Mr. Wang alive. If you win, the Sect Leader will be rewarded!"

......

Swish swish swish!

Two teams of demonic sect cultivators, harnessing their flying boats, chased after them in the southwestern direction.

Wow!

The hunchbacked old man and the Black Wind Brute Bull clashed a few times, and his magic weapon broke, spitting out blood.

His face was pale, his breath fell, and he offered a third-order recluse talisman, like a flaming meteor, fleeing in the direction of Liang.

The Black Wind Brute Bull rolled up a violent black wind, flying sand and stones, its speed was half better, locking him in a deadlock.

"Even with several third-order life-preserving talismans, if we encounter a strong True Dan cultivator or a great demon that specializes in speed, it's still hard to escape."

In the guest room on the first floor, Lu Chang'an watched this scene with alarm bells ringing in his heart.

His current strength was only fearless against a False Dan Realist.

If he was targeted by a True Dan cultivator, the risk would not be small.

At the JieDan stage, there is a huge gap between the strength and aptitude of the minor realms.

Mid True Dan stage is more than twice as strong as early True Dan stage.

That Black Wind Savage Bull is an Earth Grade Upstream Bloodline, and its strength is almost comparable to that of a Mid True Dan.

This bull is not like the Xuan Shui Turtle.

It can be called a true hexagonal warrior, with almost no weaknesses in strength, spells, defense, and speed.

Lu Changan's strongest treasure talisman could hardly cause serious injuries to it.

Not to mention, the late JieDan cultivator above this, belongs to the top of the clan's fighting force.

The weakest sects in Liang and Jing have at least a late stage JieDan cultivator in their ranks.

"That hunchbacked old man will surely die, I wonder if Mr. Wang can escape the Demon Sect's pursuit."

Lu Chang'an was thinking about it.

The spirit ship of the Nine Stars Chamber of Commerce has been reactivated.

Under the guidance of the Merchant Union's cultivators and dart guards, order was restored to the interior of the spirit ship, and all the cultivators heaved a sigh of relief.

......

A few days later, the spirit ship entered a dangerous area filled with ice and rain.

In the field of view, there was an endless rain of light gray ice, with the power of coldness and corrosion.

It was not the first time that a similar heavenly danger zone existed between the Liang States, except for the Land of Extinct Spirits.

Fortunately, this kind of spirit carrier ship, although its speed is not outstanding, but its protection power is very strong, so it can pass through smoothly.

It is only the spirit stones required to drive it that are very costly.

The speed of flight is also greatly reduced.

Because of the long distance, the existence of the Spiritless Land and the Heavenly Dangerous Region, Jing, a small and medium-sized Immortal Cultivation Country, was not easily annexed by the neighboring Immortal Cultivation Countries. After another half a month.

The flying speed of the spirit ship has obviously accelerated by a few points.

"We're almost at Jing Country."

Lu Chang'an sensed that the aura in the surrounding heaven and earth was showing signs of revival.

The land of extinct spirit will affect the power of spells, including the effects of cultivator flight and spell formation drive.

In a normal Immortal Cultivation country, although this journey is quite far, in fact, it can be reached in half a month.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

In the middle of the journey, the sky occasionally encountered Jing cultivators coming and going.

"Fellow Daoist Wu, when we arrive at the 'Lone Sun Immortal City', I'll help you apply for a Merchant League certified identity plate."

Mr. Xia from the Five Fortunes Chamber of Commerce took the initiative to come to Lu Chang'an's guest room, casting some goodwill between his words.

The dangers of the road have been overcome.

As far as the Chamber of Commerce is concerned, the only means they have to hold on to is the second-order spirit contract they signed.

Except for the VIPs in the upper class rooms, the Liang cultivators who smuggled over here have basically signed the spirit contract with the Chamber of Commerce.

The contract signed by Lu Chang'an was more lenient, close to regular employment, and was fundamentally different from the selling contracts of Fang Zhong and the others.

"Then I'll trouble you, Mr. Xia."

Lu Chang'an arched his hand and said.

In the ensuing conversation, Lu Chang'an learned about the situation of the Five Fortunes Chamber of Commerce.

The Five Fortunes Chamber of Commerce was initially established by five foundation-building families.

At that time, the five Immortal Cultivation Families were relatively weak, and most of them only had one Foundation Establishment Ancestor in attendance.

Through the group warmth and mutual marriage, the Five Fortunes Chamber of Commerce has weathered the storms of hundreds of years and occupied a place in the Jing Kingdom's business alliance, and its strength is not to be underestimated.

Mr. Xia's name is Xia Mingqu, he is the current young master of the Five Fortunes Chamber of Commerce, and belongs to the Xia Clan, which is the most powerful of the Five Fortunes Clans.

"Dare I ask Mr. Xia, does your Chamber of Commerce have a second-order top-grade spirit vein?"

"My Xia Clan, as well as the Chamber of Commerce's General Rudder, both have second-order upper-grade spirit veins."

Xia Mingqu replied with a smile.

This Mr. Xia, with red lips and white teeth, and a face like a crown of jade, among the cultivators Lu Chang'an knew, his appearance and speech were considered extremely outstanding.

Half a day later.

The Nine Stars Chamber of Commerce's spirit ship landed in a majestic mountain city with a hazy white light.

Lone Sun Immortal City is the border town of the Jing Country's Immortal Cultivation Realm, with well-developed commerce and trade, and its scale is even better than Yellow Dragon Immortal City.

The Liang cultivators who disembarked from the ship had to undergo the identity check of the merchant union.

With the help of Xia Mingqu, Lu Chang'an presented his second-order spirit contract and passed the check without any problems.

Lu Chang'an's feet landed on the ground of this neutral immortal country, giving birth to a long-lost sense of solidity.

"Fellow Daoist Wu! You and I will go our separate ways."

Fang Zhong spoke in a flat tone, bid farewell to Lu Chang'an, and returned to the queue of the Crescent Moon Chamber of Commerce.

Lu Chang'an smiled faintly and waved his hand, parting ways with this person.

......

Half an hour later.

Lu Chang'an walked out of the Great Hall of the Merchant Alliance in the center of the Lone Sun Immortal City, surveying a bronze waist plate in his hand.

"This is your identity credentials within the Merchant Alliance. Carrying this medal with you will allow you to travel unimpeded and legally conduct business in all the great immortal cities and workshops of the Jing Kingdom."

Xia Mingqu introduced.

Lu Changan revealed a look of understanding and thanked him again.

Without the contract and assistance of the Five Fortunes Chamber of Commerce, he wouldn't have been able to land so smoothly and obtain the status of a cultivator of the Jing Country Business Alliance.

He glanced at the Jing cultivators traveling in the Immortal City, and among them, there were many people dressed as merchants.

He smiled and said, ''Mr. Xia, how are you going to arrange for me? Is it going to the Xia Clan's land, or the Five Fortunes Chamber of Commerce?"

Successfully landed in the Jing Country.

The Hundred Illusion Mask disguised the identity scent of another person, deceiving the Second Order Spirit Contract.

Lu Chang'an can actually find a chance to run away, and the Five Fortunes Chamber of Commerce can't do anything about it.

However, he was new to the Jing Kingdom and was not familiar with the area, so he needed to cultivate in a stable second-ranked medium to high grade Spirit Vein.

The Five Fortunes Chamber of Commerce will help him to solve his problems by contributing money and effort.

Apart from the constraints of the spirit contract, Xia Mingqu, the young master, was quite courteous to him.

Lu Chang'an decided to go with the flow.

Temporarily abiding by the contract and joining the Five Fortunes Chamber of Commerce for a period of years of cultivation as a watery second-order dan master. Update resumed on the 1st...
