On the fourth day of the compet.i.tion, the top eight of Zhuolu became even more boring. It was basically a simple fight where the loser would admit defeat. This made some of those who had come to watch the compet.i.tion from afar disappointed.
Although they knew that Kunlun martial arts had always been like this, this year’s lineup was exceptionally good. All the trump cards of the various sects were used. Zhang Lingyu, who had been in seclusion for thirty years, came out again. Many people were looking forward to his fight with w.a.n.g Qing and Jiang Shisi. However, both of them actually fell outside the top eight. It was truly a pity… …
After that, the original dark horse disciple, Luo Fu, admitted defeat one after another in the next match. This made the audience speechless. Although they understood this tactical arrangement and knew that it was to preserve strength for the upcoming trip to the mystic realm.., this kind of behavior was undoubtedly the most unfriendly to the audience watching the match.
In the following few days, after a few battles, Kunlun 14 won the first place, followed by Quan Zhen sect, Maoshan sect, and Emei sect, this year’s Kunlun martial arts compet.i.tion ended under this kind of harmonious and humble atmosphere. After that, the trip to the secret realm would be opened in three days, and this thing was exclusive to the top ten sects. Outsiders didn’t even have the chance to watch the show…
However, many cultivators didn’t leave so quickly. Most of them stayed in Kunlun town for a few days, even though the accommodation fees and daily necessities here were extremely expensive, but most of them came here to get to know people and exchange information. Compared to this, the expensive prices were not worth mentioning.
When he heard Guo Hongde explain these things, young master Huang asked curiously, “Then why don’t you itinerant cultivators set up a spot outside as an exchange area? This Kunlun martial arts exhibition is held once every three years. Wouldn’t it delay the development of itinerant cultivators?”
“It’s not that simple.”Guo hongde shook his head and said, “In our itinerant cultivator circle, the people are very messy. There are all kinds of monsters and ghosts. Perhaps an old man who looks like an immortal and has a kind face is secretly a murderer and a thief, or simply an evil cultivator who sucks the blood essence of people. Under such circ.u.mstances, who would dare to go to the itinerant cultivator exchange points set up outside? Those were all to fool the newcomers. Most of them were evil cultivators’hunting spots… “…”
After a pause, he continued, “Although the prices here are a little expensive, and it only opens once every three years, the advantage is safety. At least no one dares to cause trouble here, and no one dares to kill people here. Relatively speaking, it’s much safer to exchange cultivation insights here, and even trade some items…”. “…”
“I see…”young master Huang immediately nodded and thought, this is a good deal… …
“Well, here we are…”Guo Hongde pointed at a relatively large building in front of them and said, “This is the trading place that Kunlun specially provides for these itinerant cultivators, but trading here requires a 20% handling fee…”
“20% ?”Young Master Huang was stunned. “That Black?”
“Yes, it’s a little black…”. “…”. However, after-sales service can still be provided… “…”Guo hongde smiled and said, “Kunlun will record anyone who has traded here. If you are later killed and robbed, Kunlun will definitely avenge you. Kunlun has a very high case-solving rate, and most evil cultivators who dare to do so will not have a good ending. It’s equivalent to paying a protection fee … ..
“It sounds a little familiar…”young master Huang ridiculed speechlessly. …
“Hey, Brother Hongde is here?”Not long after Guo Hongde brought young master Huang into the trading hall, someone took the initiative to come up and greet him.
Young Master Huang turned around and saw an extremely tall old man. He was almost two meters tall and had a white beard that was a few centimeters long. However, his body was straight and looked much more energetic than a young man.
“This is old Daoist master Xu of Changbai Mountain, a famous senior in the itinerant cultivator circle…”Guo hongde hurriedly introduced him.
“Hey, what do you mean by ‘Daoist master’? Itinerant cultivators like us can’t help but make a fool of ourselves by calling ourselves ‘Daoist master’in such a place…”the old man surnamed Xu waved his hand and said with a smile. Then, he asked, “Who is this little brother?”
“Oh, this is young master Huang, the Young Master of the Huang Group,”Guo Hongde introduced.
“Oh…”upon hearing that he was the second generation of the rich, the itinerant cultivator surnamed Xu, who was a layman, lost interest. He then looked at Guo hongde and said, “Brother Hongde, you’re good. When did you become friends with Yunshan?”
“When did I become friends with him? I just know a few friends…”Guo Hongde said modestly.
“To be invited to the stone pavilion to watch the battle, the friends that brother Hongde knows are not simple…”zhenren xu smiled and said, “When are you going to introduce me to him?”
“When I have the chance!”Guo Hongde hurriedly said.
Zhenren Xu’s pupils slightly shrank when he heard this. Then, he subtly handed over a bag of things and said in a low voice, “Don’t mind this small gift.”
Guo Hongde took the bag and opened it to take a look. Immediately, a strong fragrance rushed to his face. Immediately, he was shocked and hurriedly covered the bag. “This gift is a little heavy. I Can’t take it, I can’t take it…”as he spoke, he was about to postpone it.
Seeing this, zhenren Xu pressed down on the bag and said in a low voice, “I have something to ask of you.”
“Please tell me first…”Guo Hongde narrowed his eyes and said.
After a moment of hesitation, zhenren Xu said in a low voice, “Recently, something has gone wrong in my cultivation. I think there’s a deviation in the circulation of my meridians, and My Qi and blood are becoming more and more unstable these days. Brother Guo, if you know a master of Yunshan, could you introduce me to him and give me some pointers? This old man would be very grateful. I’ll give you a great reward after the deed is done…”. “…”
“Well…”Guo Hongde hesitated for a moment and then said in a low voice, “I can help you ask, but I won’t make any promises about the specific results…”
“It’s okay, it’s okay. Just try your best…”with a smile, Zhenren Xu pushed the thing back.
Guo Hongde put the thing away reluctantly and sighed, “Okay, I’ll try my best…”
“Thank you, thank you…”
The two continued to be polite and then left each other. Seeing this, young master Huang came closer and asked, “What good stuff this time?”
He had been used to Guo Hongde accepting gifts under the guise of Yunshan for the past two days. According to Guo Hongde, these itinerant cultivators were too difficult to cultivate, and they were often willing to pay a huge price for a little guidance or cultivation.
“Good stuff…”. “…”. Guo Hongde opened the bag and showed it to young master Huang. “Changbai mountain’s thousand-year-old wild ginseng is a rare medicinal ingredient, regardless of cultivation or hanging on to one’s life. Come, Young Master Huang… “… I’ll have to trouble you to make a trip later.” …”as he spoke, he bagged more than half of the ginseng in the bag and handed it to young master Huang.
“Thousand-year-old ginseng? Really?”Young Master Huang said in disbelief.
“Ai, I can’t be wrong about that. We itinerant cultivators have some experience in identifying medicinal herbs. Moreover, this Xu has lived in Changbai Mountain for a long time. His ancestors were all visitors, and the quality of the ginseng he sells is extremely good. His reputation is very good…”
“Does that mean that we have to get things done this time?”Young Master Huang said with a smile.
These few days, Guo Hongde had received quite a number of gifts. Every time, he would share the dirty parts with young master Huang. However, there were very few cases of him actually doing things for others. After all, he couldn’t always trouble Yunji Mu, therefore, he would pick some high-quality itinerant cultivators to do things for him.
Although most of them didn’t do anything after receiving gifts, as long as Guo Hongde did one or two of these things and his reputation spread, there would still be quite a number of people lining up to give him gifts these days… …
Guo hongde hurriedly said, “There are many good medicines in Changbai Mountain, and it also produces a lot of old-year-old mountain ginseng. If you have a good relationship with him, the benefits will be endless…”
“Okay… whatever you say…”Huang Shao smiled and put away the gift. “I won’t die from eating this thing, right?”
“Try to eat less of it…”Huang Shao smiled and said, “Even if you don’t cultivate, you can still strengthen your blood and restore your vitality…”
“Oh, I see…”just as the two of them were sharing the spoils delightedly, a soft voice was heard.
Guo Hongde was shocked. This voice was almost close to the two of them. He didn’t react at all, knowing that the person’s cultivation was far above his.
Young Master Huang didn’t think too much. When he turned around, he saw a familiar steamed bun face, so he said with a smile, “Little Jia, what’s that gra.s.s on your head?”
The person was w.a.n.g Chengbo’s sister, w.a.n.g Goudan…
“That’s not important…”w.a.n.g Goudan said with a smile, “Your thousand-year-old ginseng, I want it too…”
“Okay, okay…”young master Huang shook his head with a smile and handed over two sticks.
“This is?”Guo Hongde narrowed his eyes and asked.
“Oh… Chengbo’s sister, w.a.n.g Xiaojia…”young master Huang said with a smile.
Chengbo’s sister?
Guo Hongde thought about it and immediately remembered that Huang Shao had mentioned that w.a.n.g Chengbo’s younger sister was a disciple of Luofu…
At the thought of this, Guo Hongde immediately had an idea. He thought, I have to suck up to her…
“Oh right, Xiaojia, what are you doing here?”Huang Shao asked curiously.
“Looking for you…”
“Looking for me?”Huang Shao was stunned. “Just to partic.i.p.ate?”
“My Brother said that you know several languages? And that you’re in Business Cla.s.s with him?”
“Uh…”young master Huang was stunned. “And then?”
“Why don’t you go overseas with me…”
“Huh?”
