Nine Mountains Realm, Water Mother followed Mu Qingyan and came to the Purple Tenuity Enclosure hall.
Heavenly Emperor Body and Senior Sister Zhang were already waiting here. They watched Water Mother cross the threshold with some thoughts in their eyes.
Mu Qingyan didn't quite understand what was going on. He just looked left and right, feeling a little nervous.
"Fellow Daoist Water Mother, I won't beat around the bush." Heavenly Emperor Body suddenly said, "Have you ever heard of a monk named Emperor."
"Emperor?"
Mu Qingyan repeated it again in his mind. This name is simple enough, and even inexplicably domineering.
If you were a little person, this name might just be a joke.
But how can a monk who can make Master and Zhang Taishang so solemn be a small person?
She looked at Water Mother and saw that the expression on Water Mother's face changed slightly. She was silent for a long time before saying, "I've heard of it."
Heavenly Emperor Body leaned forward slightly, looked at Water Mother seriously, and said, "Please Water Mother tell more about this emperor."
To be honest, Zheng Fa is a little numb now.
The Six Saints Killing the Emperor is just a phantom that seems to have dissipated. The problem is, Zheng Fa is very afraid that there is something inside Grand Array of Heavenly Stars.
If he moves erratically and another Sage pops out, who can he talk to for reason?
At present, he has not yet figured out the source of the conflict between the Six Saints and the Emperor, but judging from Nine Luminaries Heaven's experience, he has a certain closeness to the Six Saints, especially Nuwa. After all, she is the mother goddess of Human Race. She will not take action against Human Race Sage unless it is absolutely necessary.
Therefore, no matter what else Water Mother is hiding, Heavenly Emperor Body cannot turn a blind eye.
Water Mother's face changed, and he glanced at Mu Qingyan again. Seeing her uneasy expression, he sighed and said, "I don't know much about the emperor either."
Heavenly Emperor Body nodded slightly and insisted. "Even just a little bit is very important to us."
"The emperor should be the great monk of First Era, or the most powerful person of First Era."
"The most powerful one?"
Heavenly Emperor Body frowned slightly, with a puzzled expression.
"What do you think is an emperor?" Water Mother curved his lips and explained, "I collected the traces left by the emperor and discovered that this man was probably the ruler of all heavens and realms, a supreme existence.
Senior Sister Zhang's eyes flashed and he looked at Water Mother: "Water Mother Why do you want to collect the emperor's information?"
"Because God-Investiture Register is his legacy."
Water Mother said calmly, "Divine Way Method is what I understood from God-Investiture Register. If I want to go further, I naturally have to start from the emperor. Unfortunately, I can get very little information, so I fell short when I realized Grand Luo."
Heavenly Emperor Body frowned and said, "So, that emperor is practicing Divine Way Method?"
"I don't know about that." Water Mother simply shook his head, "I can only say that he must have taken advantage of Divine Way Method, and even had methods to overcome the disadvantages of Divine Way Method."
This is easy to understand. After the emperor achieved Hunyuan Grand Luo Golden Immortal, he must not be like Water Mother, who cultivated Divine Way Method and raised a Evil God.
"So Water Mother you don't want to reveal anything about God-Investiture Register----"
Water Mother shook his head. "God-Investiture Register is related to such a being, how can I be willing to do so? I left God-Investiture Register with Evil Water Mother, thinking about taking it away later."
Heavenly Emperor Body fell into deep thought after hearing this. Water Mother's words can explain a lot of things. For example, Grand Array of Heavenly Stars is probably inseparable from this emperor. Therefore, the formation that Lu Mo could not comprehend was cracked here by Water Mother.
Zheng Fa is not the only one involved!
"Is that emperor still alive?"
Heavenly Emperor Body asked again, this matter is now ten thousand times more important than God-Investiture Register.
"I don't know." Water Mother said with a bitter smile, "How can I know the life and death of such a person?"
This sounds very believable----
"It's just----"
Water Mother suddenly hesitated.
"What?"
"You don't know the existence of the Emperor, so I naturally don't want to say more, but now that you know it, there is something you should take to heart."
Seeing her say this, Heavenly Emperor Body couldn't help but become more curious, and listened carefully to what she said next.
"I got most of the information about the Emperor in Thunderclap Temple. Even God-Investiture Register has some connections with Thunderclap Temple."
"The specific reason is that Thunderclap Buddha Ancestor is here, I dare not delve into it, but Thunderclap Temple may have something to do with the emperor."
After hearing this, Heavenly Emperor Body's face became more serious, as if he remembered a lot of things, but he didn't say more, but asked Water Mother: "Is that all?"
"I've told you everything I know." At this point, Water Mother looked at Mu Qingyan again, looking helpless.
Mu Qingyan chuckled, his expression a little proud and a little embarrassed.
"In that case, I would like to thank fellow Daoist Water Mother." Heavenly Emperor Body said with gratitude.
Water Mother said with a smile, "As long as I can help."
After saying that, she and Mu Qingyan turned around and wanted to leave the hall.
I heard Heavenly Emperor Body talking behind me, seeming to be sighing to Senior Sister Zhang, "Now that I think about it, Evil Water Mother probably got some benefits from God-Investiture Register."
"----You are saying that she can possess the origin of Grand Luo because of God-Investiture Register?"
"Perhaps God-Investiture Register has triggered some special inheritance in the formation. Maybe, as we are making progress, Evil Water Mother is also making progress, and maybe we can refine God-Investiture Register earlier."
Water Mother stopped and turned his head.
"Water Mother Fellow Daoist?"
Heavenly Emperor Body looked at Water Mother, his expression seemed a little confused.
"I suddenly remembered that I still have some research on Grand Array of Heavenly Stars that I didn't tell you."
Heavenly Emperor Body and Senior Sister Zhang looked at her with half-smiles.
"I know how to find Remnant Grand Array of Heavenly Stars, and I can help you launch stars!"
Mu Qingyan looked at Water Mother, then at Heavenly Emperor Body. For a moment, he just felt that she still had a long way to go before she wanted to take charge of the Nine Mountains Sect.
In addition to the Xuanwei Realm, Heaven-Piercing Sword Peak and Water Mother looked at the detectors that were brought up and couldn't help but sigh, "You Nine Mountains Sect are refining weapons too fast."
Senior Sister Zhang smiled lightly, held Heavenly Derivation Array Disk in his hand, and silently deduced.
Uncle-Master Pang on the side looked sincere. "This is all thanks to the generosity of monk Northern Continent."
Northern Continent monk, the sky is about to fall.
Madam Thousand Mechanisms sat among the Watching Ripples Palace and checked Strife-Free City's account several times before nervously picking up the account and walking to the Daoist temple where Daoist Guhong was.
"What's wrong?"
Seeing her expression, Daoist Guhong couldn't help but ask.
"There's something wrong with the account."
Daoist Guhong's expression became serious. In fact, most of Strife-Free City's resources were of little help to his practice, but Strife-Free City's disciples were actually his audience and had a considerable influence on him.
"What went wrong?" Daoist Guhong asked, "Income has dropped?"
"It's not lowered." Madam Thousand Mechanisms pushed out two Jade Slip and said to Daoist Guhong, "It's just that I seem to know what Nine Mountains Sect is doing."
"This is?"
"This is the Strife-Free City ledger from ten years ago, and this is from this year."
Daoist Guhong picked it up and took a look, frowned, and wondered, "I think the income has increased a lot?"
"Yes." Madam Thousand Mechanisms nodded, "And the disciples' Law Artifact, spiritual talismans, and elixirs have all been upgraded."
"By Nine Mountains Department Store?"
Madam Thousand Mechanisms nodded slowly and said, "But, City Lord, if you look carefully, you will know that we Strife-Free City have undergone great changes."
"What changes?"
Madam Thousand Mechanisms shook his head. "City Lord, you don't understand Strife-Free City's specific industry, so naturally you can't see the problem."
Daoist Guhong looked at her, her expression still looked very confusing.
"In the past, my Strife-Free City's income relied on the city gate tax, which was paid by passing merchants." Madam Thousand Mechanisms explained, "I Strife-Free City gave them a safety guarantee, and they handed over a certain proportion of the goods or Spirit Stone to us."
Daoist Guhong touched his chin beard and said, "You said before that you didn't know your background, and as long as you abide by the rules, we will provide you with protection. Now it seems that you did the right thing."
Madam Thousand Mechanisms smiled slightly and did not take any credit, "This is also the trust of the city lord."
"What does this have to do with the Nine Mountains Sect?"
"City Lord, if you look at the account books from ten years ago, you will find that what we collected before were all Spirit Stone, Law Treasure, elixirs or spiritual talismans."
"But this year's accounts mostly contain two items - Nine Mountains Currency and spiritual materials, of which Nine Mountains Currency accounts for 60%."
.
"Although the value has increased, the internal composition is completely different."
Daoist Guhong was stunned for a moment and still didn't seem to understand.
Seeing this, Madam Thousand Mechanisms simply spoke more clearly, "Nine Mountains Department Store has defeated most of Strife-Free City's weapon refiners, Alchemist and Talisman Master, to the point where there is almost no room for them. Even my Strife-Free City disciples, few of them are now learning to refine weapons and alchemy."
Daoist Guhong frowned, seeming to realize the problem.
"Of course, Strife-Free City monks make more money than before - they can sell resources."
"The problem is that what these resources are exchanged for is often not Spirit Stone, but Nine Mountains Currency. Nine Mountains Currency may have been spent by them in Nine Mountains Department Store."
This operation of the Nine Mountains Sect is so new that even Madam Thousand Mechanisms herself has not figured out the clues, but as the actual person in charge of Strife-Free City, she has already seen some of the dangers involved.
"There are even many people who, after getting Nine Mountains Currency, just want to save Heaven-Earth Bank and accumulate interest to support their own cultivation."
Speaking of this, Madam Thousand Mechanisms concluded. "In other words, Nine Mountains Sect took Nine Mountains Currency and exchanged it for our Spirit Stone. By the way, it also killed our Strife-Free City's weapon refining, alchemy and other industries. We can only get income by selling spiritual materials to them."
Hearing this, Daoist Guhong suddenly stood up and paced back and forth in the Daoist temple, seeming a little anxious. "How could this be?"
Madam Thousand Mechanisms shook his head, with a very depressed expression on his face, and said, "Nine Mountains Sect's move is simply unheard of."
"The various products in Nine Mountains Department Store are of extremely high quality. Even if they are a little expensive, they still squeeze many merchants out of business."
"If this is the case, the Northern Continent monks will probably attack in groups, but there happens to be Nine Mountains Bank."
"Not only does it acquire a large amount of resources, Nine Mountains Currency is also safe and easy to use, and it also returns interest. More monks have benefited from it, and naturally they are more and more inclined to deposit Spirit Stone in banks."
"More and more monks are supplying spiritual materials to the Nine Mountains Sect. Most of the monks will save their savings in Heaven-Earth Bank. Others rely on the Nine Mountains Sect for income. It can be said that they live by the breath of the Nine Mountains Sect."
What Madam Thousand Mechanisms means is very clear - Strife-Free City Most of the industry has been abandoned now. If Nine Mountains Sect does not purchase spiritual materials, or even stops purchasing spiritual materials in such large quantities, then the livelihood of many monks may also be cut off.
"If something goes wrong with Nine Mountains Department Store, especially Heaven-Earth Bank, I'm afraid many people will lose their money overnight."
"City Lord, I'm thinking, among Strife-Free City, who is most effective in speaking now, is it us or Nine Mountains Sect?
Daoist Guhong was horrified. He wanted to say that it must be him, but when he thought about what Madam Thousand Mechanisms just said, he really couldn't say it.
"Nine Mountains Sect became my Northern Continent's biggest force almost without losing a fight." Speaking of this, Madam Thousand Mechanisms said shyly, "I shouldn't have agreed to let Nine Mountains Sect open a store in Strife-Free City back then."
Daoist Guhong's face became more and more ugly, and he said in a dull voice, "This is not your problem alone. Who would have thought——
Nine Mountains Sect, Nine Mountains Sect----"
"We have all the precautions, but how can we guard against this method? If it weren't for you, I would be kept in the dark now."
At this point, he suddenly said softly, "I'll write to Suspended Island and Beyond-Heaven Mountain to see how the situation is over there."
More than half a month later, two replies came. When Daoist Guhong saw it, his face turned pale. "They are no different from us. The hearts and resources within the country are all controlled by the Nine Mountains Sect!"
Madam Thousand Mechanisms nodded slowly and sighed, "I heard that Nine Mountains Department Store has already been fully booked in the Northern Continent major Human Race cities."
"If you hadn't reminded me, the two parties still wouldn't have discovered the problem." Daoist Guhong shook off the reply letter in his hand with a sneer on his face, "You are stupider than us!"
"What do you think the city lord should do now?"
"What do you think?"
"I think----just let it be." Who knew Madam Thousand Mechanisms had such an answer.
Daoist Guhong glared at Madam Thousand Mechanisms, then heard Madam Thousand Mechanisms smile bitterly and say, "I went back and took stock again. Sixty percent of my Strife-Free City wealth is all in Heaven-Earth Bank----at interest."
Daoist Guhong I can't stand it any longer. I'm the one who's being eaten inside and outside?
"This is not our intention, it's just that the monks use Nine Mountains Currency to pay taxes, and many spiritual materials are not easy to preserve, so it is better to sell them to the Nine Mountains Sect----"
["
,, Daoist Guhong closed his eyes and opened them after a long time. "This is not a big trouble - we, the monks, are not businessmen after all. If we lose a little profit, we will lose it."
Madam Thousand Mechanisms nodded slowly, she understood what the city lord meant. For the city lord, resources or Spirit Stone are not fundamental. After all, monks are still respected for their strength.
"But Nine Mountains Sect and Sun-Shooting Divine Bow are really troublesome."
That's right, even the city lord can't compare with strength----
"What's the trouble? It's just a small road." A chuckle came, and the two people's faces changed slightly. They followed the sound and saw a figure slowly appearing in the corner of the Daoist temple - it was Peacock Great Emperor.
Daoist Guhong said with great joy, "The emperor came from the Western Continent, has Pure Land been repaired?"
