Chapter 423 I didn't bring much; I just came to inquire about the price.
Long Xinglan shook his head, looked at Zhong Lingxin in front of him, and after confirming that it was not an illusion, he grinned happily: "Master, you've come."
Zhong Lingxin nodded and left with Long Xinglan.
On the flying boat, Zhong Lingxin said, "Let me introduce you. This is Feng Yu. I call him Uncle Feng, but you should call him Grand Uncle Feng."
Uncle Feng, this is my apprentice, Long Xinglan.
I knew you were due to ascend, but I never expected that you would ascend just as I had taken Ascension City.
"Since you've just arrived, you need to adapt to this small immortal city on the edge of the celestial realm for a while before I take you to the great immortal city."
Feng Yu quickly replied, "Let's go back to Wuyuan City. Your master's old shop is there, and I've been running it ever since."
You're much luckier than me, running into your master right away.
When we ascended to immortality, we all experienced being bound by contracts.
Your master is still being hunted down.
After many twists and turns, I ended up working under your master.
Long Xinglan wasn't a talkative person; upon hearing this, he simply smiled happily.
Soon, the three of them returned to Wuyuan City, and Long Xinglan went into seclusion to adapt to the Immortal Realm.
He possesses the unique cultivation techniques of the Long family, allowing him to continuously advance in his cultivation without requiring Zhong Lingxin's intervention.
Zhong Lingxin has been observing Feng Yu's cultivation method these past few days.
Speaking of which, the Feng family has some good cultivation techniques in the Immortal Spirit Continent.
But once they reached the Immortal Realm, the Feng family's cultivation techniques were no longer sufficient.
After much deliberation, Zhong Ling gave Feng Yu a magic staff and three immortal manuals. Among them was the manual "Words Become Law," which belonged to Zhou Yang, the Immortal King she had killed.
Feng Yu is the president of the Law Enforcers Association in the Immortal Spirit Continent, and he took a great liking to this book, "Words Become Law".
There is also a book called "The Scepter" which describes the use of the staff, and it is very suitable for him.
The other book is a celestial technique, a cultivation method that can be practiced up to the ninth rank, called "Taiyi Dongming Jue".
Feng Yu accepted the three immortal techniques and happily went to cultivate them.
Over the years, he has suffered from two main disadvantages: the scarcity of immortal essence and the lack of good cultivation techniques.
Now, the gap between him and Yu Wuqing is so vast, he must work hard to cultivate.
A month later, Long Xinglan adapted to the immortal energy, and Feng Yu, having cultivated the "Taiyi Dongming Jue," also saw his cultivation level rise rapidly and was about to be promoted to Luo Tian Shang Xian.
The Southern Realm was in chaos, so Zhong Lingxin used a spatial artifact to put the two of them inside and quickly went to a medium-sized immortal city. She paid Feng Yu with immortal stones and entered the advancement arena to undergo tribulation.
Next, Zhong Lingxin is going to rescue her master.
I wonder if Master Amitabha suffered any punishment at the hands of the Mountain and Sea Immortal King.
This time, Zhong Lingxin disguised herself as You Jingji, a Great Immortal she had killed, and used his identity badge to head towards Fengxiang City, the garrison of the Left Guard Army.
The Immortal King of Mountains and Seas is, after all, a veteran Immortal King.
It is said that his combat strength ranks second in the Southern Border.
If the Southern Immortal Emperor does not use the Immortal Emperor Seal, the Mountain and Sea Immortal King can fight him for several days and nights.
Some say that the Mountain and Sea Immortal King possesses an abundance of immortal treasures, even more than the Southern Realm Immortal Emperor.
Zhong Lingxin had to be cautious in front of such a veteran Immortal King.
She dared not use the fake identity badge, fearing that she might accidentally run into the Immortal King of Mountains and Seas and be exposed by him.
In fact, Zhong Lingxin's caution was correct.
The divine sense of the Mountain and Sea Immortal King has been constantly enveloping Phoenix City.
Every immortal who has just entered Fengxiang City must carefully register their identity.
Those immortals who had purchased their identity badges on the black market were arrested on the spot.
Those at or above the Luo Tian Shang Xian stage were directly stamped with military seals and became members of the Left Guard Army.
Those who weren't advanced enough to reach the Immortal stage were thrown into the Immortal Mine to mine.
As soon as Zhong Lingxin stepped out of the teleportation array, she saw two immortals with fake identity badges being branded with military seals while screaming in pain.
In Fengxiang City, because the Left Guard Army is stationed there, the order in the city is better than most immortal cities. There are only a few recruitment sheds, and there are no people scrambling to recruit soldiers all over the streets.
Zhong Lingxin checked into an inn and asked the innkeeper, "Waiter, I heard that your Fengxiang City is buying up large quantities of immortal grains. Is that true?"
The innkeeper, who was looking at the ledger behind the counter, perked up upon hearing this and hurriedly squeezed forward, cupping his hands in greeting, "Fellow Daoist You, are you here to sell immortal food?"
Zhong Lingxin looked up at the shopkeeper, nodded with a smile, and answered yes, looking every bit like a businessman.
The shopkeeper personally led Zhong Lingxin to her room, closed the door, and looked at her with shining eyes: "Fellow Daoist You is obviously someone who does big business. You can tell at a glance from his demeanor and his expression."
To be honest, Fellow Daoist You, our Fengxiang City has long ago issued an order that anyone selling immortal grains must be recommended to the Military Affairs Bureau.
"Fellow Daoist You, what do you think I should quote you?"
Zhong Lingxin paced back and forth leisurely for a moment, and seeing that the shopkeeper was getting a little anxious, she said, "Are you in such a hurry for the immortal food? We still need to report to the Military Affairs Bureau!"
The shopkeeper nodded vigorously: "That's right, they've been getting more and more urgent lately. Fengxiang City has even posted a lot of notices to the nearby immortal cities."
"I only came here because I heard about the announcement. The announcement said that the purchase price of first-class immortal grains would be half a percent higher than the market price, but is that true?"
"Oh dear, my fellow Daoist You, you're out of touch! The announcement was only changed the day before yesterday. They're adding 10% to first-grade immortal food, and half a percent to second and third-grade food. We'll take as much as you have."
"So...should I wait a few more days...?"
"Oh dear, my fellow Daoist You, don't wait any longer. The troops are about to set off. Once they do, even if you lower the price by 10%, let alone increase it by 10%, you might not find anyone to buy. In our Immortal Realm, immortals eat immortal food purely for enjoyment. Once war breaks out, what enjoyment will there be! Fellow Daoist You, you should sell it quickly. Listen to me, sell it quickly, sell it!"
"Oh no! We're about to set off! Oh no! I didn't bring much; I just came to inquire about prices."
"Oh! Just asking about the price! How much did you bring?"
"Not much, only a few hundred shi."
"Several hundred bushels? That's not much. But, Fellow Daoist You, do you live far away?"
"It's far! If it were closer, I would have come much sooner. It's precisely because it's far that I received the news so late. This is troublesome, very troublesome. My home is at Yubo Lake, which is quite far away!"
"Yubo Lake, that's where grain is produced. It's just a bit far."
"That's exactly what happened."
"Then, how about we sell these few hundred bushels of grain first?"
"Sigh, that's all we can do. What a mess! We finally got a good opportunity, and now we've missed it again."
"We've missed it. Why don't we go to the Military Council and ask the officers when the troops will set off? Is it still possible to make it in time?"
"Yes, yes, let's go ask quickly and see if it's still not too late."
Zhong Lingxin followed the innkeeper toward the Military Affairs Office, chatting as they walked.
"I haven't asked you your surname yet, shopkeeper. I feel bad for troubling you so much."
"My surname is Liu, please just call me Manager Liu. Fellow Daoist You, please don't find this troublesome, it's all my duty."
