122. The Difficulties of the Monks Stationed on the Island and the Monks of Poverty (4K, Monthly Ticket Requested)

A little face is not important!

Ye Jiming certainly understands this truth.

It is easier said than done. Asking him to put down his face is no less than killing him.

But when he heard what Chen Zhou said before, he couldn't help but smile, "The five palaces and the nine mountain families are not as easy to talk to as us. Xu Xing will have to face them sooner or later..."

Some things cannot be made good by throwing out face.

For example, some positions firmly held by aristocratic families...

Only the name and the tool cannot be handed over to others!

The way up is almost blocked.

"So..."

Chen Zhou put Xu Xing's jade book in the column of Hansu disciples, parallel to the jade books of the disciples of the neighboring aristocratic families, "Say flattering words to him, but some things will not change after leaving this door."

Ye Jiming seemed to understand after hearing this.

...

There are priorities.

It is more important to see Jiang Yan than to see Yu Xue, so Xu Xing went to the Lushi Pavilion first.

This time, Jiang Yan happened to be there, so there was no need for the young female cultivator in the pavilion to send a sound transmission to inform Jiang Yan. Jiang Yan said nothing and led Xu Xing directly into the inner hall, still the same house as last time.

But this time there was an old man with a yellow face in the house.

"Let me introduce you, this is Feng Pinggu, the garrison cultivator of Guangchuan Island. Like me, he is in the late stage of the immortal foundation, but he has already started to prepare the Jade Liquid Returning Pill... I believe that it will not be long before Senior Brother Feng will become an elder in the sect."

"When the time comes, you will have to call him Master Feng when you meet."

When Jiang Yan led Xu Xing into the door, he laughed and introduced the old man with a yellow face to Xu Xing.

After the introduction, he used his spiritual consciousness to transmit to Xu Xing the benefits of making friends with the old man with a yellow face, "The Guangchuan Island where Senior Brother Feng is stationed is rich in fire melting wood and golden flame insects. If you need it, you can buy it from him at a low price, without going through the sect, which can save a lot of spirit shells."

"But..."

That's it.

Jiang Yan paused, "If Senior Brother Feng asks you to borrow Lingbei, Junior Brother Xu needs to think twice before making a decision. Senior Brother Feng is over 370 years old. He suffered a hidden injury in his early years. His foundation is unstable and the chance of breaking through to the Dan is not high. If you borrow too much, it will be a waste of effort."

"I also lent him 30,000 Lingbei out of friendship. If it's more, I will just evade it."

If there is no last sentence.

Even if Xu Xing will not say anything about Jiang Yan's behavior on the surface, he will secretly think that Jiang Yan is a person who cannot be trusted.

Rather than drifting away.

30,000 Lingbei may not be much.

But it is not a small amount for them, the immortal-based cultivators!

The telepathic transmission ended.

Xu Xing and Jiang Yan have already taken their seats together, sitting near Feng Pinggu.

Jiang Yan must have introduced Xu Xing to Feng Pinggu a long time ago. Feng Pinggu smiled when he saw Xu Xing enter. "Is this the Junior Brother Xu that Junior Brother Jiang mentioned? He is indeed a handsome man. Junior Brother Xu has built up his immortal foundation perfectly. He has a bright future and can break through the immortal foundation barrier in a hundred years. I am taking advantage of my age and calling Junior Brother Xu Junior Brother at this time."

In the world of immortal cultivation, there is no such thing as respecting the old and loving the young.

Born between blood relatives, respecting the elders is fine. Among fellow disciples, if the relationship is not close and they are not included in the genealogy of the master-disciple lineage, the seniority is mostly determined by the level of realm.

Xu Xing and Feng Pinggu saluted each other humbly, and the two of them met.

Next.

Before half a day, a man and a woman walked into the inner hall. The man was handsome and the woman was beautiful. The two walked arm in arm, and they looked like a couple.

Jiang Yan used both speaking and voice transmission as he introduced Feng Pinggu just now.

This man and woman are well-known in the eastern sea area of ​​Wangchuan Sea. They are called Luoying Erxian. Although one of the couple is in the late stage of Xianji and the other in the middle stage of Xianji, they cooperated with each other and once fought against Huandan without defeat. They became famous in Luoying Island for a while, and their reputation gradually spread far and wide.

"Luoying Island was originally an unknown island. Later, the couple discovered a shell field and excavated spiritual shells here... So the sect also named the island after the two of them..."

"Recently, the shell field of the couple on Luoying Island was exhausted..., and they also began to make connections in the sect, hoping to seek the position of deacon in each pavilion in the sect."

"Although the deacon is not as free and profitable as the resident monks outside, once the deacon in the sect reaches the late stage of Xianji and the time of Yuye Huandan, he can apply to the sect for a twenty-year lease of the blessed cave for free, as well as a Ningpo Pill."

During the conversation, Jiang Yan told Xu Xing another secret.

Xu Xing could only see the general trend of the fate deduction, and was not clear about some specific details.

For example, the difference between the monks stationed abroad and the deacons and elders in the sect.

Monks stationed abroad are like officials from other places. Even if they are just a small county magistrate, they can make a lot of money.

The deacons and elders of various institutions in the sect are equivalent to officials in Beijing. They live a hard life and receive a certain salary every month to make ends meet...

Deacon Jiang Yan makes friends with these monks stationed abroad.

It's probably like Beijing officials making friends with officials from other places. Sometimes there are "charcoal tribute" and "ice tribute", but it's not as obvious as the "charcoal tribute" and "ice tribute" bribery in the secular world.

"It seems that Jiang Yan has another circle of deacons and elders in the sect..."

"Use the power of the sect for personal gain, and then complete the mutual transfer of interests."

"In other words, this is a huge network of interests. The monks stationed abroad and the deacons and elders of the institutions in the sect bypass the sect and benefit themselves at the expense of the public. However..., unlike the secular world, the high-level officials of the sect have the power to crush these deacons and elders, so these actions are mostly minor and not enough to overthrow the entire sect."

A glimpse of the whole leopard, Xu Xing, who was once a Beijing official, saw the trick at a glance.

Because he also received this "bribe".

Charcoal and ice tributes are the regular silver received by Beijing officials.

It is not considered corruption!

It's just that unlike Beijing officials who are the backers of officials from other places, the deacons and elders of the sect don't have the ability to become the backers of monks stationed abroad.

This kind of "bribery" is mostly mutually beneficial.

It's easier to get things done with someone in the sect!

One after another.

The banquet in the inner hall lasted for three days. During this period, Xu Xing not only met Feng Pinggu and Luo Ying, but also met several other monks stationed abroad.

In addition to the monks stationed abroad, there is also a deacon Ding Zhong from Lianbao Pavilion.

"If you want to buy magic tools in the future, you can find Deacon Ding."

"He can report the damaged and old magic tools to the sect and sell them as good ones. The price is 80% of the sect's official selling price, which can save an extra 20% of Lingbei..."

When they were full of wine and food, Jiang Yan lowered his voice and said to Xu Xingyan.

All the cultivators present were "worms" of the sect, so such things were not surprising. There was no one around, so Jiang Yan did not avoid others and spoke frankly.

"Although Senior Brother Ding is good..."

"But Junior Brother has always been eccentric and not good at dealing with people."

"If you really want to buy magic tools, you will have to rely on Senior Brother Jiang to say a lot of good things to Senior Brother Ding..."

Xu Xing's eyes flashed, and he immediately understood that this was Jiang Yan's test of him.

The transfer of interests between deacons...

Monks stationed abroad cannot cross this gap without permission.

If he bypassed Jiang Yan when purchasing magic tools, it would be equivalent to breaking a taboo invisibly. Although this matter would not have a great impact on his future, it was also a disguised exclusion from this small circle.

In the future, it would be difficult to make profits by relying on the relationship network.

To purchase magic tools, find Jiang Yan, and Jiang Yan finds Ding Zhong, which is an extra step. Then Jiang Yan has an extra layer of oil and water invisibly. In Ding Zhong's small circle, other people who want to find Jiang Yan of the Lushi Pavilion to do things will also go through similar steps, allowing Ding Zhong to get a layer of oil and water...

No one can cross the line without authorization!

Hearing the sound of the strings and knowing the elegant meaning, Xu Xing made a guarantee to Jiang Yan.

Similarly, this matter also has good things.

In the future, if Ding Zhong falls, the sect will investigate and find that it is all the network of the sect deacons and elders. If one hair moves the whole body, it will turn a big thing into a small thing, and a small thing into nothing.

But if the deacon is just colluding with the interests of several overseas monks, the sect will not easily show favoritism, and will directly catch them all and bring them to justice.

"No problem, no problem..."

After the words fell, Jiang Yan smiled, thinking that it is easier to deal with smart people. He clinked glasses with Xu Xing and drank a sip of wine. "We are all fellow disciples. I am willing to help you with this troublesome matter..."

"I wonder if you intend to stay in the sect or be stationed abroad in the future?"

He changed the subject.

Although it was a routine test just now, it would inevitably make Xu Xing feel a little unhappy.

At this time, what he said was just nonsense.

Han Su disciples, who have not joined the aristocratic family, it is difficult for the posts of deacons and elders of this sect to be Han Su disciples. Generally speaking, after Han Su disciples build the immortal foundation, they will automatically become overseas monks.

Although being an official in Beijing is hard, if an official from another place has the opportunity to become an official in Beijing, who would be willing to give up easily?

When a deacon or elder of a sect squeezes into it, within a few years, he will have a huge network of contacts. And every time he reaches a certain realm, he will have corresponding welfare benefits from the sect, and he will live a very comfortable life.

As for the monks stationed abroad, if they dare to fight and fight, they may make a fortune, but in fact, more monks stationed abroad, although they live a carefree life, they can exchange for the sect's elixirs, magic tools, etc., and they will spend all their gains, and suffer a lot.

After all, there are only a few monks stationed abroad who can really take advantage of the wind!

"Brother Jiang, what ability do I have to stay in the sect as a deacon..."

Xu Xing pretended to smile bitterly, he shook his head and looked at Luo Ying and the other immortals, "Brother Luo and Sister Ying also earned a lot of spiritual shells on Luo Ying Island, so they had the money to come to the sect to seek the position of deacon, so that they could use the sect's benefits to break through the Dan. I have no connections, no resources, and can only be a poor foreign cultivator."

He has not forgotten the thousand-year-old Zhiguo under Dieshan Island!

A thousand-year-old Zhiguo that can help him quickly break through the third level of the late Xianji realm is worth no less than the shell field on Luo Ying Island. At least it is worth nearly a million spiritual shells.

In addition, his only backer is Lingyin Peak.

Although Lingyin Peak can arrange him as a deacon, this deacon is probably mostly a deacon in Lingyin Peak. Those deacons cannot be compared with the deacons of the sect institutions such as Lushi Pavilion and Lianbao Pavilion.

The deacons in the peak not only suffer, but also have no benefits to make.

It is better to be sent out as a resident monk.

When you have made enough money outside, you can learn from Luo Ying and Er Xian, enter the sect to seek a deacon position, and then use the benefits given by the sect to break through the Dan.

The way should not be too rigid.

"I wonder where Junior Brother Xu wants to be stationed? The mortal countries? Wangchuan Islands? Tianyun Peaks? I advise Junior Brother Xu to be a resident monk if he wants to go..."

"Although there are pirates and hostile forces causing chaos on the islands outside the Forgotten River, they are also rich in resources. Just like Junior Brother Luo, when he discovers a shell field, there is hope for a fairyland."

"Although the ordinary countries and the peaks of Tianyun are more secure, the benefits they receive are not half as good as those of the monks stationed on the island."

Feng Pinggu sat next to Xu Xing, took the initiative to interrupt, and gave Xu Xing suggestions.

Feiyu Immortal Palace, in addition to the mortal countries and part of the Forgotten Sea, also has a group of mountains in the southwest. These mountains are called Tianyun Mountains, among which Biyuan Mountain, where Xu Xing lives temporarily, belongs to a small mountain range of Tianyun Mountains.

"This is nature..."

Xu Xing nodded and agreed with Feng Pinggu's view.

He took the opportunity to ask: "I wonder if Senior Brother Feng has any islands that he can recommend to Junior Brother? Senior Brother Feng has been a monk stationed on the island for many years. I think he has a lot of experience. Junior Brother is just starting out..."

Dieshan Island is his goal.

But he couldn't openly propose that he wanted to be stationed on Dieshan Island and then ask Jiang Yan to help him operate it. In that case, Jiang Yan and others would be overly concerned.

"Well..."

Feng Buping was happy to talk about these little things. Anyway, it would not waste any of his spirit shells, it was a small thing that would benefit Xu Xing at no cost. On the contrary, it would be a favor for Xu Xing.

"I am on Guangchuan Island in the eastern sea area of ​​the Wangchuan Sea... I recently heard that several large islands with rich products such as Lili Island and Xuanhuo Island are temporarily lacking monks. If Junior Brother wants to acquire them, these islands are excellent. of……"

He pondered for a moment and spoke out his proposal.

Next, he was afraid that Xu Xing would not understand the benefits of these two islands, so he introduced them in detail, "Liuli Island is rich in Liuguang Minnow, which is a delicacy for spiritual meals. According to the sect's rules, the monks stationed on the island can take half of the With the dividends from the island, junior brother can learn a spell to cultivate spiritual fish in Tianshu Pavilion..."

"You can earn at least five thousand Lingbei every year!"

"Of course, you should also use it for other purposes, cultivating streamer minnows."

"Xuanhuo Island is rich in various types of Xuanhuo..."

Feng Pinggu said slowly.

"I practice the Evergreen Dao Sutra. Xuanhuo Island is not compatible with my practice, so I can't go there. This is my first time as a monk stationed on the island. I want to put my cultivation first, but Liuguang Minyu has no intention of taking care of it..."

Xu Xing casually found the right words to evade.

He changed the topic again, "I wonder if there are any islands in the western sea that are worth visiting."

Based on his qualifications and his friendship with Jiang Yan, the sect would never send him an island with sparse products according to fate.

Then Dieshan Island must be a good island in the western sea.

Sure enough, after mentioning several island names, Feng Pinggu said the three words "Dieshan Island".

“Dieshan Island is full of mountains and vegetation, and the spiritual energy of plants and trees flourishes. Although there are no spiritual products worth mentioning, there is a fairy shop for monks to trade on Dieshan Island. Just send someone to take care of it, and you can collect a lot of dividends. "

"This is a fat guy in the sect."

"It's not easy to seize Dieshan Island..."

When talking about Dieshan Island, Feng Pinggu shook his head and sighed.

"Junior Brother Xu, don't worry..."

"With my help in this matter, Dieshan Island will be captured for you."

Seeing the slightest movement in Xu Xing's eyes, Jiang Yan knew that Xu Xing must have taken a fancy to Dieshan Island. Also, Dieshan Island is in line with Xu Xing's needs. It has more money and less trouble. It is close to the inland sea of ​​the western sea and is not dangerous.

It’s a good place to relax.
