Deception Spirit Contract

This trade fair is more like a place for communication.

For example, Young Master Wang has an amazing background and power, and he controls channel resources. Businessmen from the Jing Kingdom are vying to make friends with him.

"Fellow Daoist Wu! Fang just heard that Young Master Wang is going to recruit two guard servants. Liang Kingdom monks will be given priority so that there will be people to dispatch after arriving at the Jing Kingdom."

Purple-Faced Strongman sounded slightly excited.

"Oh? If so, Fellow Daoist Fang can give it a try."

Lan Chang'an Follow the conversation.

Purple-Faced Strongman is the Foundation Establishment Late Stage Cultivator with a smaller proportion among the Liang Kingdom monks on the ship.

When applying for a job as a guard servant, your cultivation level has certain advantages.

If you can climb up to such a powerful person, you can reach Jing Kingdom safely, and there may be opportunities to take advantage of the situation in the future.

"Would you not give it a try, fellow Daoist Wu?"

"I am mediocre in strength and dull in character. I may not be able to serve you well."

Lan Chang'an shook his head and said.

He has little interest in various contracts that restrict freedom.

During the trade fair, some Liang Kingdom monks signed a contract of sale with the Jing Kingdom Merchant Association.

Although being exploited by the Jing Kingdom Merchant Association and sold as cheap coolies, it is still better than dying in the Liang Kingdom or being forcibly recruited to the battlefield of cultivating immortals.

For example, Purple-Faced Strongman, as a battlefield deserter, is wanted by the sect, and Liang Kingdom will definitely die if he stays here.

Lan Chang'an guessed that these chambers of commerce signed contracts with quota restrictions and had to pay a certain price to the Jiuchen Merchant Association.

Therefore, when signing a contract, they will try to maximize their interests.

At the trade fair, Lan Chang'an noticed Miss Wei's behavior.

Miss Wei negotiated with several Foundation Establishment monks who were very skilled.

These Foundation Establishment monks meet the "consecration" conditions mentioned by the New Moon Merchant Association just now, and have second-level and upper-level skills.

For such skilled talents, the contract conditions given by major chambers of commerce should be more relaxed.

This woman's behavior made Lan Chang'an think deeply and make some associations.

In the afternoon of the next day, Purple-Faced Strongman returned to the room with a disappointed expression.

Lan Chang'an later learned that Purple-Faced Strongman failed to become Young Master Wang's bodyguard and did not even pass the primary election.

Lan Chang'an After thinking about it for a moment, he understood the reason.

The hunchbacked old servant next to Young Master Wang can't tell the truth from the truth, at least Pseudo-Core True Person has a vicious eye.

Purple-Faced Strongman is very murderous. As a deserter on the battlefield, his identity is unclear and he has no loyalty at all.

Purple-Faced Strongman gave up thinking quickly.

On the next day, he joined New Moon Merchant Association, signed a deed of betrayal, and became Escort Guard of the chamber of commerce.

"Wu Daoyou, if you sign a contract with the Chamber of Commerce, although you will lose your freedom for a period of time, it is better than losing your life."

After Purple-Faced Strongman joined the Chamber of Commerce, he tried to persuade Lan Chang'an.

"Besides, it's easy to enjoy the shade under the big tree, and the Chamber of Commerce will also provide Spirit Vein Dao Field and supplies."

"Listen to Steward Jia: More than ten years ago, there was a Liang Kingdom monk who performed well during the contract and joined Eldest Miss of the Chamber of Commerce. Later he became one of the principals of the Chamber of Commerce. Those days were much more nourishing than those at the Liang Kingdom!"

Lan Chang'an smiled and said nothing. This story may indeed have a prototype, but it is definitely an exception among cases.

If you don't draw a big cake for you, there is no hope at all. How can the monk who signed the contract be willing to work hard for the Chamber of Commerce?

"Fellow Daoist Fang, the Spirit Contract you signed, can you show it to Wu?"

Lan Chang'an moved in his heart and suggested.

"What does Wu Daoyou mean?" Purple-Faced Strongman raised his eyebrows slightly and asked hesitantly.

"There is a saying in the world that there is no business without treachery. Wu wanted to see if there was any manipulation on the signed Spirit Contract."

Lan Chang'an said cautiously.

Purple-Faced Strongman laughed and said, "Fang is not an ignorant person. Spirit Contract has no problem with the content of the agreement."

After that, he took out a Spirit Contract scroll made of yellow leather and let Lan Chang'an watch it.

"Second-Order Spirit Contract...Fang Zhong...New Moon Merchant Association..."

Lan Chang'an checked the format terms and the obligations of both parties and found nothing wrong.

Through this Spirit Contract, Lan Chang'an, I learned the full name of Purple-Faced Strongman: Fang Zhong.

The name Fang Zhong may also be a pseudonym.

But it does not affect the binding force of Spirit Contract.

As long as you leave your own Law Power imprint on Spirit Contract, it will take effect.

This Law Power brand has the unique spiritual aura of a monk.

Its binding force is close to that of Heart Demon Oath, and within a certain range, it adds the effect of Law Power's backlash and induction position.

Even if he escaped by chance, he would be unable to move within the Jing Kingdom area, and he would become a wanted criminal.

This Second-Order Spirit Contract book, depending on the effect, is worth one thousand to two thousand Spirit Stone per copy, and is protected by the Jing Kingdom Merchant Alliance.

"Yeah, no problem."

Lan Chang'an nodded and returned the Spirit Contract scroll to Fang Zhong.

After Fang Zhong left, a smile appeared on the corner of Lan Chang'an's mouth.

This Second-Order Spirit Contract book is mainly binding on monks Foundation Establishment Realm and below.

If it is Pseudo-Core True Person, signing it is almost equivalent to signing it for nothing, and the price of breach of contract is very small.

Lan Chang'an's Divine Sense and body training have reached the Pseudo-Core True Person level, so naturally he is not afraid to sign this Spirit Contract.

In addition, his Hundred Illusion Mask simulated Law Power aura can even try to deceive Spirit Contract.

After all, it's just Second-Order Spirit Contract, there are loopholes to exploit.

Lan Chang'an made up his mind, found a good chamber of commerce to talk to, and signed a Spirit Contract.

After several days of private contact, Lan Chang'an found a relatively suitable target.

Spirit Ship A guest room on the second floor.

"Wu Daoyou claims to be the second level Alchemist. Can he make an elixir? Let's verify it."

At the main seat, a handsome young man dressed in silk and a jade crown said bluntly.

The handsome young man is the representative of "Five Blessings Merchant Association", and the accompanying monks from the Chamber of Commerce call him Young Master Xia.

"Wu is not talented, so he can refine a second-level elixir that can be quickly converted into elixirs."

Lan Chang'an can't let the opponent ask questions, mainly because his second-level Alchemist is relatively weak.

The reason why Talisman Master and Puppet's skills are not revealed is because they are worried about their identities being leaked.

Ancient Ruins, the hidden danger of killing monk Golden Sun Sect is still unknown.

I am going to the Jing Kingdom. I am not familiar with the place, so it is safer to take it easy.

In the Liang Kingdom Cultivation World, the outside world only knows that Lan Chang'an is Talisman Master. Only close monks know that he also practiced Puppet skills.

As for the attainments of the second-order Alchemist, no one outside knows.

"Young Master Xia Please look."

A few days later, Lan Chang'an successfully opened the furnace and produced three second-level low-grade Energy Recovery Pill.

Young Master Xia had no expression on his face after checking the quality of the elixir.

He handed the elixir to the old man with a mustache beside him.

The old man with a mustache carefully identified the elixir, sniffed it with his nose, and frowned slightly.

"Sir, Wu Fan is indeed a second-level low-grade Alchemist, but his techniques are relatively mediocre. I'm afraid he doesn't have any special skills."

The old man with a mustache, Foundation Establishment Late Stage, has cultivated his skills and communicated with Young Master Xia.

"After all, he is the second-level Alchemist, which will be beneficial to the clan and the chamber of commerce. No matter how advanced his skills are, he will not be able to reach our Five Blessings Merchant Association's turn."

Young Master Xia sighed secretly and said in a voice message.

After confirming Lan Chang'an's skills.

Young Master Xia asked some more questions and made some insinuations to test Lan Chang'an's background.

The Chamber of Commerce must guarantee the identity of monk Liang Kingdom who signed the contract.

In the event of an enemy's spies, or extremely evil people committing crimes in the Jing Kingdom, the guarantor's chamber of commerce will also be jointly and severally liable.

"Young Master Xia, is the contract period of twenty years too long?"

Lan Chang'an said unsatisfied.

Young Master Xia explained, "The monks from your country who signed the contract on Spirit Ship basically started twenty years ago, and this cannot be changed."

"What's more, we provide Fellow Daoist Wu with a second-level spiritual dojo with a beautiful environment, the basic spiritual stones and supplies needed for cultivation, including the service of a beautiful concubine..."

"The annual amount of alchemy will be reduced by another 30%. For the excess, normal remuneration will be charged."

Lan Chang'an Symbolic bargaining.

Young Master Xia and the old man with a mustache discussed for a while and finally agreed to Lan Chang'an's request.

Lan Chang'an secretly thought that although this condition was not as good as enshrinement, it was still considered an employment relationship within a reasonable scope.

The only criticism is that the basic remuneration is low and the tenure is relatively long.

However, Five Blessings Merchant Association signed a contract with a monk, which required a guarantee and a payment of Spirit Stone to the Jiuchen Merchant Association.

Purchasing Second-Order Spirit Contract from the Merchant Alliance is also a cost.

Therefore, Five Blessings Merchant Association's conditions are considered relatively loose among the chambers of commerce that Lan Chang'an negotiates with.

Of course, this is because Five Blessings Merchant Association is not very powerful and there is demand for second-order Alchemist.

In comparison, other large chambers of commerce have more stringent conditions.

A quarter of an hour later.

The chamber of commerce represented by Lan Chang'an and Young Master Xia signed a letter Second-Order Spirit Contract.

The constraints of Spirit Contract are much looser than those of Fang Zhong.

Lan Chang'an uses "Hundred Illusion Mask" to simulate the aura of another person Law Power, leaving a mark on Second-Order Spirit Contract.

In this way, when it comes to the Jing Kingdom Cultivation World, whether or not to fulfill the contractual obligations depends entirely on Lan Chang'an's mood.

"Young Master Xia, Wu is now an external monk signed by your Chamber of Commerce. Can you ensure the safe arrival at the Jing Kingdom?"

Lan Chang'an asked.

"As long as you don't encounter Demonic Cult, our chamber of commerce can ensure that you arrive at the Jing Kingdom safely. When you enter the country, you can easily pass the last identity check if Spirit Contract Scroll is there."

Young Master Xia sounded much gentler and answered patiently.

"I would like to ask, what is the possibility of encountering Demonic Cult?"

Lan Chang'an had inquired on the ship before, and the biggest threat was when encountering Demonic Cult.

Jiuchen Merchant Association has greater energy, which can lead to loss of money and avoid disaster.

"Probably a 1 to 10 chance."

Young Master Xia is quite calm.

"In case of an unfortunate encounter, there is no need to panic. As long as it is not a hostile target that Demonic Cult will kill, just pay the ransom."

"Two out of ten?"

Lan Chang'an Thinking of Miss Wei on Spirit Ship, I feel that the possibility has more than doubled.

Unknowingly, Jiuchen Merchant Association's Spirit Ship and Barren Lands flew between the two countries for a month.

The journey is already over halfway.

Lan Chang'an was determined: with less than half of the journey left, even if something unexpected happens and I have to go to the Jing Kingdom alone, the pressure will be much less.

Because, the area close to the Jing Kingdom is less affected by Cultivation War, and the risk is not as great as that of the Liang Kingdom.

"Wu Daoyou, you actually joined "Five Blessings Merchant Association"?"

"The situation of this chamber of commerce is not optimistic. The industries under its trade name have been suppressed by "New Moon Merchant Association". They have suffered losses continuously in recent years and are almost unsustainable."

Fang Zhong didn't know where to get the news, and felt that Lan Chang'an's choice was not worth it.

He originally invited Lan Chang'an to join New Moon Merchant Association, but the latter did not agree and instead joined the weaker Five Blessings Merchant Association.

Only then did Lan Chang'an know the true story of the Five Blessings Merchant Association, and that he and New Moon Merchant Association were actually enemies?

Lan Chang'an chose Five Blessings Merchant Association because he felt that the chamber of commerce was easier to talk to and the conditions were more relaxed, that's all.

New Moon Merchant Association, even if the conditions are not harsh, Lan Chang'an does not want to join.

Because, his ferry ticket was obtained by Li Congren from the New Moon Merchant Association.

If Lan Chang'an joins New Moon Merchant Association, the latter will probably investigate his situation. If the investigation is in-depth, there is a certain chance that he can be associated with his identity.

"Wu Daoyou, here is a toast to you! No matter what the future holds, before landing on the Jing Kingdom, Fang recognizes you as my friend."

Fang Zhong drank a glass of spiritual wine, spoke boldly, and a purple flush appeared on his fleshy face.

Lan Chang'an heard the implication and drank a drink with a smile.

At the same time.

On the deck of the Spirit Ship leader.

The elegant young man in golden robe and the long-haired woman covered by tulle stand side by side, overlooking Cloud Sea below.

"Young Master Wang, there are still more than ten days to arrive at the Jing Kingdom. Do you think the monks from Demonic Cult will try to rob and kill them?"

Miss Wei flipped up her hair, her dark eyes, smooth forehead, and straight nose were dimly visible under the veil, outlining her cool and three-dimensional facial features.

"Miss Wei You can rest assured."

Young Master Wang was calm and composed, with a sonorous tone:

"As long as I'm here, what's the harm if monk Demonic Cult comes?"

Peng!

The dull and loud sound that shook the mountains came from the distant sky.

Young Master Wang's heart trembled violently, his face instantly turned pale, and he felt like his heart was beating with fear.

At this moment, all the monks on Spirit Ship, Qi and Blood were impetuous, and their ears were ringing.

"Not good!"

Not far away, Hunchbacked Elder, who had his eyes closed on Spirit Nourishing, suddenly changed his expression.

Whoosh!

He quickly stood up and, together with the beautiful girl next door, escorted Young Master Wang back to the superior guest room.

"Ah..."

Miss Wei covered his face with his hands, looking panicked.

No one noticed that there was a hint of sarcasm on the corners of her lips under the veil.

In the guest room on the first floor, Lan Chang'an and Fang Zhong were also disturbed.

"What sound?"

Fang Zhong ran out of the room uneasily and looked into the distance.

"Third-Order Great Demon? Accompanied by strong demonic energy?"

Lan Chang'an closes eyes to sense, can't help but move.

Buzz!

Jiuchen Merchant Association's Spirit Ship, the formation is fully open, slow down and maintain order in Spirit Ship.

Moo~

In the sky six or seven miles away, black wind and strange fog howled, and a frightening roar came.

The cultivators used the spiritual eye type Law Technique to look around and explore, and their hearts jumped.

At the place where the incident occurred, there was a huge bull as black as iron, as tall as a tower, with hooves like giant pillars. It was riding on the black wind and furious flames, and swept across a mile or two with flying sand and rocks.

Boom! Click!

Under its four hooves, there was a chamber of commerce Spirit Ship, which was more than thirty feet long. The hull cracked and there was an overwhelming tearing sound.

Inside Spirit Ship, black wind rolled with furious flames, and bursts of shrill wails were gradually swallowed up.

"Black Wind Savage Bull! Sacred Beast of the Profound Yin Demonic Sect!"

On Spirit Ship, some knowledgeable monks from the Chamber of Commerce had pale faces and trembling voices.

Black Wind Savage Bull, from the upper reaches of the earth, has a body like a vajra, infinite strength, is good at black wind magic, and is extremely lethal.

Near Black Wind Savage Bull, there are two teams of monks wearing dark robes, slaughtering the injured monks who escaped from Spirit Ship.

"Xiang Jinglong! If you join Demonic Cult and help the tyrants, Liang Kingdom sect will kill you sooner or later."

A beautiful woman in a green shirt with False Core cultivation, blood oozed from the corners of her mouth, her aura was dim, her dress was charred, and she fell to the ground helplessly.

"Bah! Ladies, how majestic were you when you were hunting down a certain family?"

Xiang Jinglong, who has a yellowish complexion, is wearing a gold-plated toga. From top to bottom, he is trampling on the False Core female nun of the Blazing Fire Palace.

The beautiful woman in green clothes had her ribs broken and said sadly, "Xiang Jinglong... Killing the elder's descendants... you can't escape the disaster..."

"Who are the descendants of this elder? Can you explain clearly?"

Xiang Jinglong's face darkened and his eyes were gloomy.

At that time, Marketplace committed a crime in the Mo Clan and was suspected of leaking his identity. It was a trivial matter and there was insufficient evidence. Then Blazing Fire Palace was inexplicably wanted.

Over the years, he has established himself in Demonic Cult and tried to investigate the cause, but no clues were found.

At this moment, listening to the words of the beautiful woman in green clothes, he could faintly touch the truth.

Xiang Jinglong picked up the beautiful woman in green shirt and wanted to ask more questions.

It was found that the woman had become a slightly warm corpse.

In order to prevent humiliation and torture, the other party used the last remaining Law Power to destroy his heart and died.

"Bad luck!"

A haze appeared on Xiang Jinglong's face, and his gaze turned to the sky several miles away, where Spirit Ship was twice as big.

"True Person Xiang, is Spirit Ship of the Jiuchen Merchant Association."

The middle-aged leader False Core of another team of dark-robed monks showed a tacit smile.

Jiuchen Merchant Association and Spirit Ship stood ready and tried to avoid the scene of the incident.

However, Spirit Ship is bulky and its speed is far inferior to that of the False Core monk, nor can it compare to the compact Spirit Boat of the same grade.

Moo~

That Third-Order Great Demon and Black Wind Savage Bull were so fast, they caught up with them in a dozen breaths.

Xiang Jinglong and another Demonic Cult False Core led two teams of monks to outflank them.

With Lan Chang'an's rich running experience, it is not advisable to act rashly at this time, otherwise it may attract the attention of Third-Order Great Demon and Demonic Cult False Core.

Anyway, on Spirit Ship, there are two or three False Core, either explicitly or implicitly.

The best time is when the attention of important people is drawn and the situation becomes chaotic.

Besides, as long as Miss Wei is on Spirit Ship, Lan Chang'an doesn't have to worry about his own safety for the time being.

The other monks on Spirit Ship were in panic.

Unlike Lan Chang'an, they have more insight into the inside story.

There is only one Pseudo-Core True Person on the surface of the Jiuchen Merchant Association.

It was the middle-aged man in Confucian shirt who was sitting in charge.

"True Person Xiang, we are serious Jing Kingdom businessmen, and we never pay less tolls every time. Can this time..."

The middle-aged man in scholar's shirt came out with a smile.

Glancing at Black Wind Savage Bull, which cast a huge shadow above his head, his eyelids jumped.

"No nonsense, let go of the formation! A certain family only arrests suspicious monks from the Liang Kingdom sect!"

Xiang Jinglong said impatiently.

The middle-aged scholar smiled bitterly, exchanged a few words with the stewards of several large chambers of commerce, and finally ordered the formation of Spirit Ship to be opened.

"Everyone stay in Spirit Ship. Anyone who dares to come out will be killed without mercy!"

Xiang Jinglong and middle-aged False Core boarded the ship from the front and rear of Spirit Ship respectively and inspected each room.

This search was much stricter than that of the Liang Kingdom sect.

No matter whether it is an ordinary room or a first-class room, every corner is without exception.

Third-Order Great Demon Black Wind Savage Bull, lingering in the sky, the terrifying and cold black wind Demon Power made all the cultivators feel suffocated.

Demonic Cult and two Pseudo-Core True Person monitor the inspection status of each room throughout the process.
