"Oh? Is this your friend?"

The old Taoist chuckled, squinted his eyes and looked Liang Yan up and down for a while.

"Brother Lu, this is the second elder of the Jialan Chamber of Commerce, senior Pei Xinhai, whose cultivation is unfathomable. Even the Confucian **** general among the twelve generals should be polite when meeting him."

"I've met Senior Pei!" Liang Yan bowed his hands cooperatively.

"Don't dare to be, dare not be!" Pei Xinhai waved his hands again and again, and said with a smile: "People in our chamber of commerce are very casual in terms of address. My friend is a guest from afar, just call me Shopkeeper Pei."

"Then it's better to obey than to be respectful."

"Hahaha, it should be so! Two, please come inside!"

Pei Xinhai smiled heartily. He didn't see the airs of a cultivator in the robbery realm at all. Instead, he had a reckless and heroic air.

Liang Yan and Xuanyuan Qi followed behind him, walked into the attic, and found that the furnishings inside were very simple, there was only a tea table and a few futons, other than that, there was nothing else.

"Tsk tsk, this Pei Xinhai doesn't look like a member of the Chamber of Commerce at all, but looks like a penance."

Liang Yan thought to himself, and sat down on the east side of the tea table.

The three of them took their seats, and Pei Xinhai made a cup of tea for Liang Yan and Xuanyuan Qi, exchanged a few words of courtesy, and then asked: "Nephew Xuanyuan, I heard that you have been practicing in seclusion in Xuanyuan City for these years, why are you doing so today?" Appeared suddenly in Guangling City? Could it be that he also took a fancy to this 'Wentai Fighting Treasure Conference'?"

Hearing this, Xuanyuanqi put down the tea cup he picked up, and sighed softly.

"Senior Pei, you don't know. This junior came to Guangling City this time to investigate a secret matter."

What he said was not clear, it seemed that there was something difficult to say, Liang Yan remained calm, but Pei Xinhai frowned slightly.

"Nephew, you are the fourth prince of Xuanyuan City. It seems that this matter is not a trivial matter for you to investigate in person!"

"good."

Xuanyuanqi nodded, lowered his voice and said: "Both of you are not monks from Xuanyuan domain, there are some things you don't know, just in the past hundred years, many monks from this domain have mysteriously disappeared, and behind them There is not even a trace of clues in the sect."

"The monk is missing?"

Pei Xinhai frowned, and said slowly: "It's nothing unusual, is it? I and other cultivators often retreat for decades. Some monks who go to the secret realm to hunt for treasure are trapped in it for hundreds or even thousands of years. Both!"

"Senior Pei doesn't know something." Xuanyuanqi shook his head and said, "These missing people all have two common characteristics. Female cultivators, and they are outstanding in appearance. The most important thing is that there are quite a few missing female cultivators. There are fifty or sixty of them in total, and three of them are in the Profound Realm. After these three disappeared, they stayed in the The natal soul card in the sect also shattered..."

"There is such a thing?!"

Pei Xinhai glanced at Xuanyuanqi, and slowly said: "If it's just one or two, it's a coincidence, but now there are so many people, it's a bit strange......"

"That's right!" Xuanyuan Qi nodded and said, "Our Xuanyuan City also attaches great importance to this matter, because among the missing female cultivators, there are also disciples from our Xuanyuan City, so we have been secretly sending people to investigate."

"So that's the case." Pei Xinhai nodded, and then said with some doubts: "But even so, this matter is not worthy of His Royal Highness to investigate in person, right?"

"Do you suspect that this matter has something to do with the Xuanyuan royal family?" Liang Yan, who had been silent until now, suddenly asked.

"Um?"

Xuanyuan Qi was taken aback for a moment, then turned his gaze to Liang Yan.

"Brother Lu has such vicious eyes! Yes, I have been investigating secretly for many years, and found that when these female cultivators disappeared, there were people from the Xuanyuan Army nearby, and the only people who can mobilize the Xuanyuan Army for a long time and on a large scale are members of our royal family. .”

Seeing that Xuanyuanqi approved Liang Yan's guess, Pei Xinhai was also a little surprised. He looked at Liang Yan beside him with a thoughtful look on his face.

"Then who do you suspect is abducting the nun from behind?" Liang Yan then asked.

"Although there is no definite proof yet, I suspect that my second brother was instigating behind this matter." Xuanyuanqi said solemnly.

"Second Prince?"

Liang Yan raised his eyebrows, with a look of suspicion on his face: "Didn't it mean that the second prince is now in charge of the government, wanting wind and rain? With his cultivation and status, he should have no shortage of throwing himself into his arms." People? Why would you do such a thing?"

"Brother Lu doesn't know something." Xuanyuanqi shook his head, lowered his voice and said: "According to my secret investigation, the second brother should not only be greedy for beauty, but also practice an extremely evil technique, which needs to absorb a lot of energy. Cauldron!"

"Shuangxiu secret method?"

"No, the ordinary double-cultivation secret method is beneficial to both practitioners, but the second brother's cultivation method is a unilateral request. The second brother made a wedding dress!"

"So that's the case. No wonder so many female cultivators disappeared in just a hundred years, and their cultivation levels are not low." Pei Xinhai rubbed his chin with a look of bewilderment on his face.

Xuanyuanqi drank a cup of tea at this time, and slowly said: "To be honest, fellow Taoists, after my second elder brother came to power, he was greedy for pleasure and acted perversely, and most people in the court were dissatisfied with him. To be honest, I can't understand it either. What he did, so I came to investigate this matter this time, if it is true, I will report to my father and take back my second brother's military power!"

"You mean... the second prince has also arrived in Guangling City?" Liang Yan quickly heard the hidden information in Xuanyuan's strange words.

"good."

Xuanyuanqi nodded and said: "I followed the second brother. Guangling City is now mixed with dragons and snakes, and there are many foreign monks. If the second brother really practiced that sorcery, then this is his best place to attack." Place!"

After hearing this, Pei Xinhai sighed softly and said: "Unexpectedly, nephew Xuanyuan Xian is the prince of Xuanyuan City, but he has a chivalrous heart, which is really rare! It's just that your second brother Xuanyuan Haoyu is in the sky now, isn't The old man hit you, I am afraid it will be difficult for you to fight against......"

"Ah...... Senior is right. I, Xuanyuanqi, spend my time wandering in the clouds and wild cranes. I aspire to travel in mountains and rivers. I usually don't like court disputes, so I don't have many capable men in the Xuanyuan Army. Ten The second **** general doesn't even think of me! I came to investigate the matter of the second brother this time, and I only brought a few cronies and subordinates, so far there has not been much progress."

When he said this, he pondered for a moment, put down the teacup in his hand, clasped his fists at the two of them, and said seriously:

"Senior Pei, fellow Daoist Lu, one of you is also my teacher and friend, and the other has shared my troubles with me. Now I don't have any manpower available, so I would like to ask you kindly...... I would like to ask the two of you to help me, as long as we find out about this matter, Xuanyuan City will definitely thank you!"

What he said was so sudden that both Pei Xinhai and Liang Yan were slightly taken aback.

"Nephew Xuanyuan, this is not very good. After all, our Jialan Chamber of Commerce is an external force, and we will take the liberty to intervene in the disputes in your Xuanyuan domain. If City Lord Xuanyuan finds out..." Pei Xinhai shook Shaking his head, his face was full of concern.

"Senior Pei, there is no need to worry. The father is a Confucian saint. The laws of Xuanyuan City are like mountains. Even if the prince breaks the law, there will be no mercy! Once the second brother finds out about this matter, he will definitely die. Your Majesty, to clarify the contribution of the Jialan Chamber of Commerce in this matter, in the future, your Chamber of Commerce will be able to conduct business in our Xuanyuan Domain unimpeded, and you will also be able to enjoy many preferential treatment!"

"this..........."

After hearing Xuanyuanqi's words, Pei Xinhai's expression gradually softened, and he seemed to have been moved by him.

"Okay! If that's the case, then Pei will agree to this matter. I hope that after the matter is completed, my nephew can fulfill his promise and speak a few words for our Jialan Chamber of Commerce in front of Xuanyuan City Lord."

"Senior, don't worry, I, Xuanyuanqi, will never break my promise."

Xuanyuanqi smiled slightly, and looked at Liang Yan again.

"Sorry, this matter involves a dispute in Xuanyuan City. Lu is just a casual cultivator and can't help much. There is nothing I can do about this matter." Liang Yan cupped his hands and said with a trace of apology.

"Brother Lu, don't rush to refuse."

Xuanyuanqi waved his hand and said, "Aren't you looking for the sub-sage-level pure yang fire? You might as well ask shopkeeper Pei to see if their Jialan Chamber of Commerce has it."

"Pure Yang Flame at the sub-sage level?"

Pei Xinhai frowned after hearing this, and looked at Liang Yan.

Liang Yan's heart was also moved, because Pei Xinhai did not appear to be shocked, but only a little bit embarrassed.

"Does their Chamber of Commerce really have what I want?"

Liang Yan thought to himself, but on the surface his expression remained calm, and he said lightly, "That's right, Liang is here for the sub-sage-level Pure Yang Flame. I wonder if your chamber of commerce has this?"

"Let's not hide, my friend..."

After Pei Xinhai pondered for a long time, he said slowly: "There is indeed news that there is a pure sun fire in our chamber of commerce, but it is very dangerous there, even the old man dare not rush in...... .But according to what I saw at the time, this group of pure Yang fire may have the power of the sub-sage level!"

"really!"

Liang Yan felt excited when he heard this, but he couldn't show it right now. After thinking for a while, he said, "Since Senior Pei dare not go deep into that dangerous place, how can we conclude that this is a sub-sage-level Pure Yang Flame?" ?”

Pei Xinhai was silent for a moment, then slowly said: "Since my friend doesn't believe it, then I will show you something."

As he spoke, he stood up, waved his Taoist robe with his left hand, and the wall behind him suddenly cracked, revealing a secret passage for only one person.

"The old man's study is the Treasure Pavilion of the Jialan Chamber of Commerce. Usually no one can get close to it, but today, for the sake of His Royal Highness, I will take you in to have a look."

Pei Xinhai turned around and entered the secret path. Xuanyuanqi and Liang Yan looked at each other and followed without hesitation.

The three of them walked through the secret path for a while, and came to an ancient stone gate. Pei Xinhai raised his hand and made a few seals, and the stone gate opened in response.

Rumble!

A vast space was revealed, and it was a magnificent palace. There were many boxes floating in the palace, including white jade, bronze, and wooden boxes, and the shining precious light filled the entire palace.

"What a magnificent treasure house!"

Liang Yan narrowed his eyes, feeling a little shocked in his heart.

The treasures treasured here are as numerous as stars, and judging from Baoguang, the grade of each treasure will not be low!

Although the treasure trove of the Taotao Chamber of Commerce has just been divided up, compared with the things in the palace in front of you, it is simply the difference between fireflies and the sun and the moon.

"The Jialan Chamber of Commerce is indeed a big chamber of commerce that can stand shoulder to shoulder with the Wenxiang Chamber of Commerce. It seems that they have also made a lot of preparations for this 'Wentai Fighting Treasure Conference', and the position at the top of the list is somewhat unpredictable...... ..."

While Liang Yan was thinking secretly, Pei Xinhai raised his hand and sucked a jade box in the middle of the hall.

"Little friend, if you don't believe what the old man sees, you might as well look at this."

As soon as the words fell, Pei Xinhai pushed the jade box over.

Liang Yan took it slowly, raised his hand and typed out a formula, opened the lid of the jade box, and saw a three-foot-square stone lying inside, red all over, as if holding a ball of flame.

"This is........."

A hint of surprise appeared on Liang Yan's face, and he couldn't help poking his consciousness into the stone.

Boom!

The moment his consciousness entered the rock, his whole body seemed to fall into a sea of ​​magma, the surrounding ground shook, countless magma gushed out, and the blazing high temperature almost made him breathless.

"What a strong flame power!"

Liang Yan felt a little horrified in his heart, knowing that he was only a ray of divine consciousness that penetrated into this rock, and his deity was still outside, yet he could feel such a strong fire-attribute spiritual power, which is simply unimaginable!

boom!

Hearing a dull sound exploding above his head, Liang Yan immediately looked up, and saw countless flames roaring and roaring in the sky, as if the fire was flowing like gold, burning holes in the entire sky!

At the same time, a little spark fell from a high altitude. As the distance got closer, Liang Yan's heart suddenly jumped up, his pupils shrank suddenly, as if he had foreseen the great danger, and he didn't dare to look at it carefully any more, and hurriedly turned his eyes away. After the Nian withdrew from the strange rock~lightnovelpub.net~ After the Nian returned to his real body, Liang Yan heaved a sigh of relief and regained his composure, only to realize that his back was soaked in cold sweat.

"Senior Pei, what is the origin of this stone, and where did you find it?" Liang Yan asked in a deep voice.

"To be honest, I brought this strange rock back from that dangerous place. It is in a cave in a secret realm. Now you know why I concluded that there is a sub-sage-level pure Yang flame in that place, right?"

"I see."

Liang Yan nodded and said: "If this strange rock was brought back from that cave, there may indeed be a sub-sage-level pure yang fire in that cave. Shopkeeper Pei might as well offer a price, as long as you tell us the location of this cave." Lu, everything can be discussed."

"Okay, since that's the case, the old man will just say it straight."

Pei Xinhai laughed and said, "As long as my friend agrees to help Nephew Xuanyuan, this strange rock will be regarded as a deposit. After the matter is completed, I will tell you the location of the cave, how about it?"
