Tian Yuan Xian Ji

Chapter 330 Helmsman ([-])

"Junior Brother Tao, let me introduce you. These two are members of the team who came from afar to investigate the source of immortality. Fellow Daoist Tang Ning and Fellow Daoist Jiang Yuhuan." Jiang Yunsheng turned to them and said, "This is our sect. Brother Tao Siming from the intelligence department."

"Oh? Fellow Daoist Jiang, I've known you for a long time, it's a pleasure to meet you." Tao Siming said with bright eyes.

Jiang Yuhuan returned the gift.

"It is widely rumored in the sect that Jiang Daoyou intends to form a dual practice couple with my junior sister Nangong, do you know if this is true or not?"

"This is nonsense, it's groundless." Jiang Yuhuan said with a slight smile.

Tao Siming sighed lightly: "That's such a pity, it seems that Senior Brother Qin finally got the beauty back. I thought you could suppress his limelight and extinguish his evil spirit!"

"Cough." Jiang Yunsheng saw that his words were getting more and more out of order, and interrupted with a slight cough: "Junior Brother Tao, let's talk about the source of immortality!"

Tang Ning could tell that Qin Tianjiao was probably not popular in the Shuiyun Sect. Otherwise, why the monks of the same sect would say such words in public must be words that they are accustomed to in daily life, so they did not add Thinking and speaking.

Aside from his identity as a non-monster, it might be due to his domineering temperament. Everyone dared not speak out in front of him, so they slandered a lot in private.

Tao Siming said: "A month ago, we captured an undead essence host. From his mouth, we learned that a base-building host is absconding in the territory of Qi, and his whereabouts are unknown. Intelligence stations around the world are inquiring about this person .”

"Have you clarified your identity?" Tangning asked

Jiang Yunsheng turned his left hand and took out a dossier: "This is the identity information of this person. Now we only need to wait for the intelligence news to come before arresting him."

Tang Ning took the file and unfolded it, but saw that the portrait on the scroll was a man with a big arm and a round waist, about forty years old.His surname is Pan and his name is Rui. He was cultivated in the early stage of foundation establishment.

Jiang Yuhuan asked: "Have you ever captured the foundation-building corpse insect host before?"

"This is the first foundation-building stage host we have discovered. If we catch him, we may be able to know the clues of the mastermind behind the scenes. We have tried to use the host's unique perception ability to find it, but we have never found it. This person is very cautious and has never been easy. Ken showed up, I suspect he already knew we were after him."

"Is there anything we need to do?"

Tao Siming said: "According to the clues you provided, we are investigating the late-stage monks in Qiguo. It is quite difficult. I hope you can help us investigate a few people. As for the host, you don't need to worry about it."

"This is exactly the purpose of our coming here. Who do we need to investigate?"

Tao Siming dug out two files and handed them to the two: "These two people's whereabouts are strange. Although no connection between them and Jiang Taihua has been found, the suspicion cannot be ruled out. Currently, our investigation team does not have more manpower. You come here. It’s just right, you can help us find out the details of these two people.”

Tang Ning and Jiang Yuhuan took over the file, which described the two men's physical appearance and various information in detail.

Tao Siming said: "The whereabouts of these two people are uncertain, we don't know their whereabouts for a while, so we have to judge his whereabouts based on their past habits. You need to be more careful and try to avoid confronting them head-on. If you have any news, let us know first. I will do my best to help you.”

"How should we notify you?"

"You can convey the news through our intelligence site. I will send you a letter. If there is any news at that time, find the contact point of the intelligence station and send the letter to them."

Several people discussed this matter for a long time, and at night, the two left the Taoist temple and disappeared.

Tang Ning traveled for a day and came to Wutian County in the west of the Qi Kingdom. She escaped through the clouds and fog and landed in a deep mountain.

There are more than a dozen antique attics in this barren mountain, lined up row upon row, and several majestic and majestic halls stand tall, crowds come and go, and monks come and go with magic weapons in midair from time to time.

This place is one of the famous small markets in the west of Qi State, which is exclusively for practitioners to buy and sell.

On the bluestone roads on the left and right sides tens of feet away from the "big shops" such as the attic and the main hall, there are many casual cultivators displaying their "goods" beside them, introducing and selling them to the monks who come to buy and sell.

This kind of market was formed spontaneously by the monks, headed by the local big family, and belonged to the category of "illegal market".

This kind of small market has a characteristic, the things are much cheaper than the regular market, and it is very popular among casual practitioners.Of course, there is no comparison between order and a regular market, and it is not uncommon to hear people killing people and stealing goods.

Basically every large region has such a market, because the prices of items in the formal market controlled by the chamber of commerce are too high, and most casual repairers are poor, so they are not willing to go to the market of the chamber of commerce to buy and sell.

Where there is a market, there is business, so Xiaofang City was born naturally.

Tang Ning walked through the Qingshi streets on both sides, and heard the chaotic and noisy voices, which were all small vendors bargaining for prices.He went straight to a central hall and walked in.

As soon as he entered the hall, a beautiful woman greeted him and bowed: "Senior, what are your orders?"

This hall is called Qingyuan Hall. It is a shop opened by the Zhang family, a local rich family. It mainly sells elixir. The Zhang family is a big family that refines elixir. In the late stage of Ji's practice, he is a well-known master of alchemy in Qi State, and all the elixir under the Guben elixir are sold in Qingyuan Hall.

Tang Ning didn't come here to buy and sell pills. The late-stage foundation-building monk he wanted to investigate was named Wei Ming'an. According to the information department of Shuiyunzong, this person was keen to participate in various auctions. Recently, there was a It was a high-standard auction, so he came to try his luck to see if he would meet Wei An.

"I want to meet with your attic steward, please report to me," Tangning said.
"Senior, please wait a moment." The woman walked through the main hall and walked to the upper floor of the attic.After a while, he returned to him and said, "Senior, please follow me."

Tangning followed her to the third floor of the attic. The living room of the people inside the attic.

When the two came to a room, the woman knocked on the door.

"Come in." A clear female voice came from inside.

"Senior, please." The woman gestured

Tang Ning pushed the door open and walked in. There was a beautiful woman sitting on the table in the room, sorting out the books in her hand.

Seeing Tangning come in, she raised her head, "I don't know why you want to see my concubine?"

Tang Ning said, "I heard that there will be an auction here soon, and one of the owners behind it is the Zhang family. Therefore, I would like to recommend myself. I would like to participate in the auction hosted by your family. Is it possible?"

"I don't know Yugao's last name?"

"My next Tang Ru, a native of Chu, is here for the first time."

"Where did fellow Taoist hear this letter from?"

"I have an old friend who is a monk of the Shuiyun Sect. I heard from him. He said that this is a candidate for the auction, and you must pass the candidate to join this meeting. I am currently missing something in refining spiritual weapons. None of the shops are for sale, so if you want to participate in the auction, you will try your luck."

The woman nodded: "There is indeed an auction going to be held in the local area, and it will be co-hosted by the major families. At that time, items will be auctioned from the collections of each family. Originally, the selection period is over. If you want to participate in this meeting, I can't let fellow daoists make this trip in vain."

After finishing speaking, he pulled out something with his left hand and handed it to Tangning, "This is the number plate of the auction. Only with this plate can you join the auction. The auction will be held in three days. auction."

"Thank you." Tangning took the number plate, thanked her, left the room, asked someone for the direction of Yixian Peak, and disappeared.

After walking for less than half a day, I saw a mountain peak hundreds of feet high in the distance, and there was a huge gap in between, which was where the first-line peak was located.

There was a majestic and majestic hall on the top of the peak. Tangning's light fell on it. There were two guards in front of the hall. One of them stepped forward and asked, "What's the matter here, senior?"

"I'm here to participate in the auction," Tangning said
"Is there an alternative place to get a bidding number plate?"

Tangning handed him the number plate.

The man pulled out a bright red stone and pointed it at the stone tablet. The stone tablet gave off a faint red light. The man put away the stone and said, "There are still three days before the auction. If you have nothing else to do, senior, please rest in the hall."

Tang Ning nodded, and the man led him into the hall, passed through the hall, turned the corner, and came to a long corridor with several stone houses lined up in between.

The man took Tangning's stone tablet and pressed it against the recess of the wall, and the wall turned away, revealing an elegantly decorated room.

The faint scent of sandalwood lingers around, and the whole room is covered with crimson brocade decorated with golden flowers.

Tangning entered, the man returned the number plate to him and said, "If you need anything, senior, just ask."

"Remember to remind me when the auction starts."

"There are singing girls and spiritual wine in this hall. I wonder if seniors need it?"

"Singing prostitutes are free, come to Huling Bar!"

"Yes." The man responded.

Not long after, several maidservants filed in, holding jade plates in their hands, and placed them on the stone table with vegetables, fruits, wine and food, and retreated without waiting for orders.

I didn't expect that the auction organized by these cultivating families would turn out to be quite impressive, and the service attitude was good. Tangning thought to herself, poured a glass of wine and drank it all down. Fragrance.
