Hiruzen Sarutobi is still a loyal person and did not throw other blame to Root. However, the matter of "Jashin Cult" was not made public. He only issued a statement asking all places to be careful of these self-harming extremists and not to let them disrupt the order of Land of Fire.
At first, Tanzaku Town was indeed briefly panicked because so many Merchant had "disappeared" in one breath. However, when Konoha's statement arrived, the problem was easily solved - it was not that someone was missing, but that someone came here to meet and harm themselves, and was arrested by Konoha?
Then it has nothing to do with other people. The most you can do is scold these people behind their backs as "disappointing."
After Akaseki relax...
Although Aburame Ryoma's charge led to Ōnoki noticing that there was something wrong inside Konoha, but... as Konoha increasingly put pressure on it and showed no signs of confusion, Iwagakure still began to seek negotiations.
But this time Konoha didn't give him any chance to delay. You talk about yours and I'll fight mine. As long as Ōnoki doesn't formally cease the war for one day, Konoha will continue to attack.
Judging from the current situation, Ōnoki should "hand over his cards" in the next negotiation...
The most important thing at the moment Konoha has shifted from the war and become the Elder election on May 1!
After a month of preparation and preliminary screening, the candidates can probably be guessed.
This time Jonin on the front line has no chance to abstain. Everyone must cast three votes...
Minato has sent all the votes back, plus Jonin in the village, the voting will be officially held tomorrow, when four Elder will be produced, plus Konoha Military Police Force minister Kensho Uchiha, Jonin Commander squad leader Uchiha Orochimaru, as well as Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu directly recommended by Third Hokage, will form the "Elder Jonin Association", which is the representative organization of Jonin Meeting.
The final election will be held tomorrow, and it has nothing to do with Akaseki anyway. Naturally, he has nothing to be nervous about. It will be the usual Kai Chi in the evening...
Now Akaseki has become a ninja with the most normal schedule. He goes back to his room to rest at eight o'clock every night and doesn't go out until eight o'clock in the morning.
People who don't know may think that Akaseki is slacking off in his cultivation.
Little did he know that Akaseki now is the time to practice the hardest!
As each episode comes out, Akaseki has become more and more familiar with the drama in which a conscientious consignee is besieged by mentally retarded and evil businessmen, and sometimes he even has the urge to "adapt to see if the plan can end sooner."
But...
I gave Akaseki something different today!
Before going to bed at night, Akaseki started Immersion as usual. At five o'clock in the morning, Akaseki woke up early and started to recall the previous Immersion memories. The result...
I am Hong Yan, a Golden Core Stage monk...
Akaseki:???
Akaseki After substituting the first memory, I felt a sense of doubt-"I" was actually a cultivator?
For a moment, Akaseki even wondered if he had chosen the wrong drama?
It was obviously selected based on "similar Immersion"!
Is this recommendation category artificially retarded? Why did you get me a Immersion drama about cultivating immortals?
Forget it, if you want to cultivate immortality, just cultivate immortality...
After being a purchaser for so long, it's time to change my taste.
Cultivation...
I don't know whether it was Qi Refining Stage's junior sister who broke off the engagement, or whether it was Qi Refining Stage's junior brother who framed her...
Anyway, Akaseki is ready.
I am Hong Yan, a Golden Core Stage monk. In order to repay the old couple who gave me a favor, I have been using my relationship with the Myriad Treasures Pavilion, Beast Taming Sect, Skyflying Sword Sect and other sects to purchase Spirit Fruit from South Mountain Town and provide them with the details...
Golden Core Stage...
Acquisition of Spirit Fruit...
Akaseki:...
Okay, you made the right choice, everyone has come to cultivate themselves as immortals, but they still have to reap the fruits!
"Immortal Master Hong, there have been monsters this year, Spirit Fruit's aura is a bit mixed..."
"Uncle Chen, needless to say, as long as you still have spiritual energy, just follow the agreement. Ten spiritual stones per pound, high and low-end, all at one price." Hong Yan reassured.
"Is it really the Ten Spiritual Stones? Thank you so much..."
"Hong Yan! Something happened to you!"
"Gu Lingxi, why are you talking to Immortal Master Hong..."
"Dear fellow villagers, you have all been deceived by this Hong Yan! I have been a disciple of the Myriad Treasures Pavilion for two years, and I know best... our Myriad Treasures Pavilion accepts Spirit Fruit, which is twenty spiritual stones per pound!"
"Twenty spirit stones? Immortal Master Hong are all ten spirit stones..."
"Is it really that much different?"
"Immortal Master Hong, you are talking..."
"Myriad Treasures Pavilion is indeed twenty spirit stones per pound, but Myriad Treasures Pavilion only accepts..."
"Look! He admitted it!"
"You, you... earn ten spirit stones from us per pound?"
"Myriad Treasures Pavilion only accepts..."
"He Hong Yan has been eating everyone's price difference these years. The Spirit Fruit that everyone worked so hard for a year finally turned into Qi Condensation Pill in his belly!"
"First of all, I haven't taken low-level elixirs like Qi Condensation Pill for a long time..."
"You have the nerve to say that? You have earned so many spiritual stones from everyone, but you don't even look down on Qi Condensation Pill... are you going to eat Qi Gathering Pill? Only the core disciples of the big sect outside can eat it, so you can see how much he has earned from you!"
Akaseki:...
When Akaseki saw the little girl Gu Lingxi coming out in his memory, he basically understood this routine.
After all, the person who takes the lead in making trouble every time is either bad, cheating everyone in order to earn commission, or stupid, thinking that business is just an account after not studying for two years...
This little girl is really stupid based on her temperament!
It's just that I understand, I understand, Immersion suddenly read this version of cultivating immortals, Akaseki still felt a lot of energy.
Especially this time, the element of "Golden Core Stage" is added...
Obviously judging from this little girl's video and the reactions of these fruit farmers, they don't even know that Hong Yan is already a "powerful golden elixir".
"Hong, you are so shameless, even if you make money from the fellow villagers!"
"That's right, as long as we deliver the fruit to the Myriad Treasures Pavilion, we can make double the profit if we resell it..."
"There are monsters in the mountains outside, what are you going to do with them Myriad Treasures Pavilion?"
"Do you think we are stupid? Immortal Kingdom has already repaired Teleportation Array, and they also subsidize... only one spiritual stone per person!"
"It is true that there is Teleportation Array, but it is a subsidy for people. If it is Spirit Fruit..."
"What else is there? Are you going to say that Spirit Fruit can't pass? It's a joke. I can pass it while eating Spirit Fruit, and everyone can pass it!"
Can one Spirit Fruit be the same as a large number of Spirit Fruit? Can ordinary passers-by be the same as a caravan?
Hong Yan hasn't said it yet...
"Money back!"
"Yes, you have been collecting Spirit Fruit here for so many years... how many years?"
"When my father was still alive, he was the one who collected Spirit Fruit..."
"Anyway, it has been many years and it must have made us a lot of money!"
"That's right, I want my money back!"
"I have collected Spirit Fruit's accounts clearly over the years and paid taxes to the city every time. If you don't want to sell it, take Spirit Fruit away now..."
"You..."
At this time, the guards from Fangshi came and dispersed the villagers. However, these villagers were still cursing and expressing their dissatisfaction and contempt for Hong Yan.
Akaseki:...
Akaseki just wants to say to this, Wanhun... No, Human Emperor Banner is not unable to practice, right?
However, Hong Yan, who should have been heartbroken, breathed a sigh of relief. Soon Akaseki "remembered" that there was another section - "I" practiced a special skill, and I had to "solve the cause and effect" and "repay the favor" before I could enter...
Because back then South Mountain Town had a pair of old fruit farmers who were kind to Hong Yan when he was a child. It was a life-saving grace, so Hong Yan came to buy Spirit Fruit for a hundred years.
This year, these fruit farmers broke the contract, taking the initiative to settle the cause and effect, so Hong Yan finally reached Mid Golden Core Stage!
Akaseki:...
This was unexpectedly refreshing, and it really made Akaseki feel a little happy.
"However, we have already made an agreement with the Myriad Treasures Pavilion and Beast Taming Sect. The guards' wages must also be settled. Although there is no profit at all, if you break the contract, you will owe consequences... Forget it, just help North Kan Town nearby."
After Hong Yan muttered to himself, he said to a group of Qi Refining guards who had just arrived, "The Spirit Fruit here is no longer for sale, but our contract remains the same. Let's go... to North Kan Town next door!"
Akaseki can also see that the "self" technique is very inconsistent. Since we want to repay favors in the way of merchants to settle the cause and effect, we can only do what the merchants should do, otherwise it will not count?
Otherwise, as a powerful golden elixir, I would have repaid my kindness to some mortals long ago...
But while leaving, Hong Yan also left behind a clone of his spiritual consciousness, specifically wanting to see how Gu Lingxi and those fruit farmers ended up...
"What? Ten thousand spirit stones? Why? It's obviously one spirit stone for each person..." Gu Lingxi started to have a row with the guards in front of Teleportation Array.
"One spirit stone is Immortal Kingdom to subsidize pedestrians. You have so much goods, it is a caravan. If a caravan of more than 30 people or less than 100 people passes, it will be 10,000 spirit stones at a time!" The guard pointed to the sign.
Gu Lingxi:...
"Miss Gu, what... what should we do?"
"You never said you had to pay first!"
"Ten thousand... oh my God, so many?"
"Don't panic, everyone! You have more than 10,000 kilograms of Spirit Fruit. If you give it to the Myriad Treasures Pavilion, you will earn an extra 100,000 yuan. So what if you pay 10,000 yuan first?"
"Here... Miss Gu, why don't you give me some cushion first?"
"I, I don't have that many spirit stones... Oops! I am a disciple of the Myriad Treasures Pavilion. I can take you to teleport directly to the Myriad Treasures Pavilion. Won't the money be back soon?"
Gu Lingxi finally persuaded everyone and collected ten thousand spirit stones first. Dozens of people pushed Spirit Fruit carts and followed her into Teleportation Array.
The next moment, they did arrive in front of the magnificent Myriad Treasures Pavilion gate...
Elder Zhang, who was in charge of the acquisition, couldn't help but frown when he saw so many "idlers" coming.
"Gu Lingxi, why did you bring so many people here?" Elder Zhang asked with a frown.
"Elder, we are here to deliver South Mountain Town's Spirit Fruit." Gu Lingxi said quickly.
"South Mountain Town? Isn't that what Daoist Brother Hong usually collects?" Elder Zhang was puzzled when he heard this.
Akaseki also understood after seeing this scene that Elder Zhang only thought that "he" was Foundation Establishment Cultivator. After all, this was indeed the case when the two met.
"You still call that despicable fellow Daoist? He has made countless shady money between us Myriad Treasures Pavilion and the fellow villagers..."
Elder Zhang:...
"Xian Chang, they are all the same fruit, can we do it ourselves?"
"Oh, yes, yes, but... let's check the results first."
"Don't worry, this big basket weighs one hundred catties, which is enough to weigh..."
"Myriad Treasures Pavilion harvests fruit, and it's not just about the weight."
"Don't worry, everyone, our large sect has the same process as a large sect, and we won't treat you badly..."
"Elder, this basket contains two kilograms and meets the standard."
"What? I weigh a hundred pounds..."
"Who do you think Myriad Treasures Pavilion is? We said we must meet the standards... We at the Myriad Treasures Pavilion only want high-quality products!"
"G-Gu girl, this..."
"Ten thousand kilograms, but only a little over two hundred kilograms are qualified? This is not enough money for Teleportation Array!"
"Elder, how can you say that?"
"I understand! You took advantage of the surname Hong, so you deliberately made things difficult for the villagers, right?"
"Or do you usually get kickbacks?"
Akaseki:...
Akaseki was also confused.
Akaseki Immersion Immersion has done the theme of cultivating immortals before, so the level is supposed to be relatively strict...
Before this, the most outrageous thing Akaseki had ever seen was just Qi Refining Stage breaking off the engagement and Golden Core Stage, and they had someone else to rely on anyway!
Unexpectedly... in this type, I see such a brave person.
Insulting the elders of the sect just for a few fruits?
"You...Gu Lingxi! Do you still dare to slander me here? Take your people and get out of here! Then go to your master to receive your punishment... or let me report it to the door..."
"You still want to report it? I..." Gu Lingxi was a little scared.
But this time...
"Miss Gu, it all depends on you!"
"Miss Gu, don't be afraid of him..."
"Be energetic..."
"Don't fall into disgrace!"
"Okay! Folks, all the fruit carts are blocked at the door. They won't accept them, and no other goods can come in!"
Akaseki:???
What kind of shocking and shocking operation is this?
Akaseki The most outrageous thing I have seen before is just blocking the factory door in front of the police...
After all, it is a society governed by law, and at most it is considered a crime of disrupting production order...
Can this lead a group of mortals to directly block the mountain gate of the Myriad Treasures Pavilion and his own master?
"Gu Lingxi! You are so bold... You, an outer disciple, how dare you..."
Akaseki:???
Akaseki was even more shocked. Just now he thought he was at least the head disciple!
"What about the outer disciples? You colluded with Hong Yan. If you don't give us an explanation, I will go to the sect master to file a complaint. Then you won't be able to eat and just walk around!"
Elder Zhang was furious...
Have someone notify Disciplinary Hall.
Akaseki:...
This elder Myriad Treasures Pavilion is really good-tempered.
But someone will come over with a token soon...
"Senior brother! Does the sect leader already know..." Gu Lingxi was overjoyed when he saw this.
Akaseki doesn't know how she got so happy.
Disciplinary Hall disciple had a straight face, asked for the token and said, "Myriad Treasures Pavilion Outer disciple Gu Lingxi, slandered the teacher, gathered people to make trouble, and disturbed Sect Rules... From now on, Myriad Treasures Pavilion will be expelled and his cultivation will be restored!"
"Wait, wait... Elder Zhang, Uncle Zhang... are you... kidding me? I..." Gu Lingxi then panicked.
Ah--
Elder Zhang, who abides by the rules, destroyed her Dantian with one palm.
Seeing Gu Lingxi vomiting blood and falling to the ground, all the mortals were so frightened that they dared not say a word anymore...
"Anyone who continues to block here will be cleared out!"
"Don't, don't... let's go!"
"Let's leave now..."
After all, the fruit farmers took Gu Lingxi along with them, but they just arrived in front of Teleportation Array...
"Hey, I didn't expect that Myriad Treasures Pavilion only charges a few hundred kilograms, and only the best Spirit Fruit..."
"Immortal Master Hong used to be mixed... could we have misunderstood him?"
"Yes, maybe he really doesn't earn much..."
"Are you stupid? This was all agreed upon by the man named Zhang and the man named Hong, and they deliberately lowered your price!"
Akaseki:...
Looking at Gu Lingxi, who had just been deprived of his cultivation and was lying on the ground, he suddenly stood up with high morale and continued to slander Elder Zhang and "himself"...
Akaseki also doubted for a moment, what kind of Ancient Desolate Saint Body is she, can Qi Refining Cultivator be so healthy?
At the same time, this first paragraph, Immersion, has arrived here...
