Shi Xuan took out the Good Deed Jade Pendant and handed it over. "This is I's Good Deed Jade Pendant. It can prove I's identity. Show it to Manager Yu and you'll know."
The shopkeeper carefully took the Good Deed Jade Pendant and looked at it carefully. Seeing that it was indeed him, he nodded and bowed. "Great Immortal, please wait a moment. I'll go and invite Manager Yu."
Shi Xuan nodded. "Go ahead." Then, he sat on a chair at the side under the guidance of the waiter. He took the green tea served by the maidservant and leisurely took a sip. Only then did he look around the Yu family's trading company.
In addition to transshipping low-level medicinal herbs and materials, Yu family's trading company also did some trading of magic tools and elixirs. In any case, the cultivators who escorted the ships all had storage bags. In particular, they transported the low-level magic tools from the Heavenly Fire Sect to the Southern Barbarian Continent for sale. Then, they transported the low-level elixirs from the Medicine King Sect overseas. It could be considered the most profitable business.
As for the mid-level and high-level magic tools, materials, elixirs, spiritual herbs, and cultivation methods, once the Yu family purchased them, they would immediately ask the overseeing expert to contact Penglai using Spiritual Voice QQ. Penglai would choose first. If Penglai didn't need them, the Yu family would deal with them themselves. Of course, Penglai wouldn't be greedy for the Yu family's spirit stones. As long as he liked it, he would pay the Yu family's purchase price plus 10%. After that, the experts would take these goods to the three islands through the teleportation array. If it was particularly precious, Penglai would also arrange for high-level cultivators to come and escort it.
Therefore, the Yu family's trading company didn't only deal in large quantities as Shi Xuan had previously thought. The shop would appear to be sparsely populated. In fact, apart from one shop that received distinguished guests, the other shops sold magic tools and materials. One shop sold elixirs and spiritual herbs, and one shop sold cultivation method jade slips. There were people coming and going, and it was very lively.
The shopkeeper came down very quickly, followed by a white-haired cultivator who looked similar to Yu Wendao. He was wearing the standard black Taoist robe of Penglai's outer disciples. Upon seeing Shi Xuan, he bowed deeply and said, "So it's Uncle Master Shi Xuan. I apologize for my lack of manners." Then, he respectfully handed Shi Xuan's good deed jade pendant back to him with both hands.
"You're also a disciple of mine, Penglai. Since you're already in the Qi Drawing Stage, why don't you enter the inner sect?" Shi Xuan took the jade pendant and asked curiously. Yu Kaishan's Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi pressure was very clear. In terms of cultivation, Yu Kaishan was a level higher than Shi Xuan. Shi Xuan didn't know whether it was Greater Mastery or Perfected.
Yu Kaishan laughed self-deprecatingly, "It's a long story, Martial Uncle Shi. Please come upstairs." Then he extended his right hand in an inviting gesture.
Shi Xuan nodded. It was indeed inconvenient to talk about some things in a place with so many people, so he followed Yu Kaishan's footsteps and went upstairs.
In a quiet room on the second floor, after two pretty maidservants with cat ears served tea, Yu Kaishan carefully closed the door of the quiet room. Then, he sat down and said with a bitter smile, "Martial Uncle Shi, please don't take offense. There are too many people downstairs. If I say anything, it will be passed to the clan leader's ears in a few days."
Yu Kaishan's attitude made the relationship between him and Shi Xuan a lot closer in an instant. Seeing that Shi Xuan didn't take offense, he sighed and said, "In our Yu clan, if you're not extremely talented, even if you enter the sect and break through to the Qi Drawing Stage, you have to return to the clan to serve. You can't enter the inner sect because the clan needs manpower. Once you enter the inner sect and learn the five great techniques, you can't casually leave the sect in the future. "
Penglai's inner sect disciples all had to take care of business. Apart from cultivating, they didn't have the time to serve the clan. If they had the time, wouldn't it be better to do more business in exchange for pills? Or they could go explore the abandoned mansion and find spirit herbs. Thus, the Yu clan only focused on nurturing the extremely talented ones so that they could walk to the top of the sect and support the clan in the future. As for ordinary disciples, they either couldn't enter the sect or returned to the clan when they were in the Qi Drawing Stage. Yu Kaishan was the latter.
Shi Xuan couldn't say anything about this rule of the Yu clan, so he could only reply indifferently, "Yes, so that's how it is."
After all, being a big customer, even if you had the support of a sect, there were still many dangers. This was because many loose cultivators wanted to steal a ticket and then hide. The cultivation world was so big that the Yu clan and Penglai might not necessarily be able to find them. Thus, in addition to hiring loose cultivators, the Yu clan also had to maintain the strength of its own clan. Only by doing this could they intimidate others. Otherwise, it wasn't impossible for the hired loose cultivators to become bandits.
Yu Kaishan seemed to have finally met someone who was willing to listen to his complaints today, so he didn't ask Shi Xuan why he had come. He directly said, "Ai, in the sect, I can often listen to the teachings of the various martial granduncles and martial uncles. Once they resolve the questions in my heart, my cultivation progress is very fast. Although the pressure is a bit great, it's still better than being stagnant now. This disciple spent 25 years in the sect and broke through to the Qi Drawing Stage when I was 44 years old. This year, I'm already over 120 years old, but I'm still lingering at the Qi Drawing Stage. Haha, but compared to those fellows who can't enter the sect, I'm much better. They often only break through to the Qi Drawing Stage when their bodies are about to collapse. "
Shi Xuan took a sip of tea and then said, "Martial Nephew Yu, you don't have to worry too much. Think about it from another perspective. Over 120 years old is the Qi Drawing Stage, and there's still a chance for you to reach the Divine Soul Stage."
"Don't think about it, don't think about it. If I was still in the sect, maybe I would have reached the Divine Soul Stage a few decades ago. Even if I was in the clan, if I could reach the Qi Drawing Stage at around 100 years old, maybe the clan would really be willing to buy me a few Spirit Concentration Soul Refining Pills. But now, it's too late, too late." After Yu Kaishan finished speaking, he realized that he only cared about himself and didn't ask Shi Xuan why he had come. He immediately said apologetically, "This disciple's heart was agitated and I failed many times. I haven't asked Martial Uncle Shi why you have come here."
"I have been traveling in the mortal world for the past two years, so I don't know much about the news of the Cultivation World. So I came here today to first tell the sect that I have arrived in the Southern Barbarians, so that my master and fellow disciples won't be worried. Second, I want to ask if there are any major events in the sect and the Cultivation World." Shi Xuan explained his purpose of coming.
Yu Kaishan suddenly realized, "Martial Uncle Shi, don't worry. Even if our Yu Family's trading company doesn't purchase valuable magic tools, materials, spirit herbs, pills, etc., we will still use Soul Sound Messaging to transmit news of the Southern Barbarians Continent to the sect every three days. Tonight is just the right time to transmit the news of Martial Uncle Shi's arrival."
The Soul Sound Messaging Technique was a Daoist technique for long-distance transmission. The highest distance could reach tens of millions of miles. The Yu Family helped Penglai gather information in the Southern Barbarians Continent, so the sect would naturally give them a secret treasure that could activate the Soul Sound Messaging Technique once a day.
"In that case, thank you very much." Shi Xuan also knew about the Soul Sound Messaging Technique, so he came to find him.
"As for the sect, there are no major events. It's just that in the past two years, there have been disciples who have broken through to the Qi Gatherer Stage, such as Martial Uncle Jie, Martial Uncle Yu, Senior Brother Jiang, and Junior Brother Yu, etc. Hehe, I heard that Martial Uncle Yu is Martial Uncle Shi's good friend. She is currently in closed-door training." Yu Kaishan only remembered the relationship between Yu Ruoshui and Shi Xuan as he spoke, so he emphasized it.
En, it seemed that after Yu Ruoshui became his disciple, her cultivation progress was very good. As for Zhou Dielan, her cultivation was slightly lower than Yu Ruoshui's. It would probably take another two to three years for her to break through. When Shi Xuan heard the news of his good friend, he was in a very good mood. As for the matter of Yu Wendao also breaking through to the Qi Gatherer Stage, he didn't take it to heart. Even if Yu Wendao reached the peak of the Qi Gatherer Stage, Shi Xuan wasn't afraid, "Then how is my master doing recently?"
"Martial Uncle Mo is still the same. Oh right, there is another major event in the sect. Because it happened two years ago, I forgot about it. That is, Martial Uncle Meng Li has fallen due to Qi Deviation! Sigh, there are only five Jindan Grandmaster left in the sect. "Yu Kaishan had quite a sense of honor for the sect.
Master was indeed powerful. He directly caused Meng Li to fall. The faint worry in Shi Xuan's heart was swept away. His mood became more relaxed, and his qi became more lively, "Where did Senior Sister Ming travel to?"
Hearing this, Yu Kaishan was happy, "Martial Uncle Ming only left Pingbo City for half a month. I don't know if she went to overseas countries or traveled to the south. Martial Uncle Shi, you just missed her."
Shi Xuan originally just wanted to confirm Ming Qingyue's safety. He didn't expect the two of them to almost meet each other. However, Ming Qingyue's arrival in the south meant that the most dangerous part of her journey was over. She no longer had to be afraid of the madmen of the Blood Demon Sect. However, Ming Qingyue had walked this part of the journey for eight years. It could be imagined how dangerous it was. He would try to use the Heart Jade Pendant to see if he could contact her. So, Shi Xuan asked directly, "What about the Cultivation World? Did anything major happen? "
Speaking of this, Yu Kaishan's face became serious, "There are indeed a few major events. First of all, the most popular news in the Southern Barbarian Continent is that two months ago, many people saw a mountain peak of Changbai Immortal Mountain being struck by lightning."
Changbai Immortal Mountain was where the Medicine King Sect was located. It was covered with white snow that never melted all year round. In addition, the cultivators in the sect always flew in and out, so it was called Changbai Immortal Mountain by the mortals.
Was it struck by lightning? Was it a powerful person who attacked the sect, or an Essence Soul Perfected Master who failed to pass the tribulation? Shi Xuan also became serious and asked, "Is there any more accurate news?"
"No, the Medicine King Sect has recalled many disciples, and the news is strictly sealed. The only thing we can be sure of is that something major has happened in the Medicine King Sect. At the same time, the Medicine King Sect is also strictly arresting someone, but we don't know who it is. Our sect has also sent many disciples to sneak into the south to find out what is going on. "Yu Kaishan indicated that the news was only to this extent.
Seeing this, Shi Xuan didn't ask anymore. After all, this kind of thing had nothing to do with him for the time being. Whatever major event there was, it was not something that he could interfere with with with his current cultivation. It was better to leave it to the higher-ups of the sect to worry about, "What other major events are there?"
"First, Master Hunyuan broke through to the Yin Spirit Stage and went into closed-door cultivation. Grandmaster Yu is now the first on the Tianji List. Second, in the Western Wilderness, another ancient Essence Soul Perfected Master's residence was discovered. It caused a stir, and many cultivators died. One of them was a rogue cultivator, Jindan Grandmaster. " Yu Kaishan paused, "This last matter, it's not a big deal, but it's not a small one either. Speaking of which, I still need Uncle-Master Shi's help."
