229 Suspicious monk
Ye Qin pondered for a moment and walked into the tent where many foundation-building monks gathered.
The bright eyes of the foundation-building monks in the tent immediately looked at him. Several powerful spiritual senses swept through Ye Qin's body, but did not find any abnormalities on Ye Qin's body, so they took them back.
While entering the big tent, Ye Qin found out the strength of the foundation-building monks present.
Among the seven foundation-building monks with different costumes in this tent, one is a high-level foundation-building monk, two are mid-level foundation-building monks, and the remaining four are early-level foundation-building monks. Ye Qin himself has a cultivation level at the second level of the foundation-building period, and among these people, he is generally inferior to the strength.
He had met many Foundation Establishment Cultivators in the Immortal Estate Hall before, and had seen a Golden Pill monk on the border of Northern Qi. Therefore, he still had strong confidence in his own strength, and he also had enough self-protection among these Foundation Establishment Cultivators.
When Ye Qin thought of this, he calmed down and looked at everyone in the tent one by one.
Sitting in the first seat of the tent was a solemn white-bearded old man. From the family mark on his sleeve, it can be clearly seen that this person was a monk of the Zhou family, and he was also a high-level foundation-building stage and the highest cultivation level in the entire tent.
The other six foundation-building monks sat at the banquets on the left and right sides of the tent.
The three people on the right were all monks of the Beast Spirit Sect wearing red and green clothes. They were quite intimate and talked in a low voice. The three people on the left had strange clothes, sat alone, drank and drank, and occasionally looked up at the other monks, with a cold expression.
Although Ye Qin could also see the vague identity marks from them, he was not clear about what those marks mean, and he could not guess their origins at all. Obviously, the monks on the left and right sides of the tent had completely different identities.
Ye Qin thought in his mind that the monks of the Beast Spirit Sect on the right should have a close relationship with the Zhou family. The monks on the left are likely to be invited as the country protector and are not very close to the Zhou family.
Zhou Lin, who brought Ye Qin to the tent, had already come to the old man with white beards first, and reported to the old man Ye Qin's purpose, and planned to serve as the country protecting immortal master of the Great Zhou Kingdom. The old man with white beards learned that Ye Qin was planning to be the country protecting immortal master of the Great Zhou Kingdom, immediately showed surprise, briefly introduced it to everyone, and asked about Ye Qin's origin.
"Brother Qin, please take a seat. Brother Qin can come to my Great Zhou Kingdom, welcome. Let me introduce you to Zhou Yan, the deputy leader of the Zhou family. On the left are Master Basha from the Ishkuli Kingdom in Tianqiongyuan, Cultivator Lingru from the Linghu Kingdom in Wanyue Lake, and Priest Zheng from the Chaos Land. The three on the right are fellow monks from the Beast Spirit Sect from Shangliang Kingdom, Wuma Kingdom, and Ba Kingdom, Junior Brother Wang, Junior Brother Zhang, and Junior Sister Shi. I wonder which country I am from, and which sect did I come from?"
"In Xiawu Country, I have met Brother Zhou and all the brothers."
Ye Qin bowed his hand to show off one by one, and then sat down on the side of the disciple of the Beast Spirit Sect on the right. As the saying goes, there are many mistakes. He only mentioned the four words "the free cultivator of the Wu Kingdom" and stopped talking about his identity to avoid flaws.
Middle-earth continent is extremely large, and Wu Kingdom is a small country that cannot be even smaller, and is very far away from the Great Zhou Kingdom. It is not easy to find Wu Kingdom. It took several years to work, and I am afraid that even the Wu Kingdom will not be able to figure out where it is. Moreover, it was a casual cultivator who was born, so there was no way to find out his details.
Moreover, he also has some considerations when choosing to sit with the monks of the Beast Spirit Sect.
No matter what, he is a cultivator in the Spirit Fog Cultivation World, and both the Beast Spirit Sect and the Qingdan Sect are cultivators of the same origin. He knows more about the methods of the Beast Spirit Sect monks, and can deal with them in time even if there are any changes.
But the monks in Tianqiongyuan, Wanyue Lake, and the chaotic land were quite unfamiliar with them, and they didn't know what magical powers they had. He didn't plan to join people who didn't know the details. If something happened, he would be unpredictable.
Zhou Yan was stunned for a moment, obviously unable to think of where Wu Kingdom was. Fortunately, he did not delve into it. He clapped his hands and asked the female servants waiting by the side to serve tea and wine, and said with a smile: "Brother Qin is here, I will tell you about the reward for being the Immortal Master of the Great Zhou Kingdom. The early-level cultivator of the Foundation Establishment Period and becoming the Immortal Master of the Great Zhou Kingdom will start at a low-grade spirit stone of 100 yuan per month. I wonder if Brother Qin thinks this price is acceptable?"
Several female servants came up and set up a full banquet for Ye Qin. Ye Qin smiled faintly and nodded to the maids, taking a sip of the wine. When brewing the wine, a small amount of spiritual fruit should have been placed, with a green color and quite spiritual energy.
Since he planned to stay in this Danyang Camp for a short time, he naturally wanted to make himself look more like a man who came to the Immortal Master of the Guardian Kingdom. After hesitating for a moment, he asked: "If the foundation-building monks from the Great Zhou and Northern Qi fight, and any magic weapon is damaged, it is worth at least thousands of spirit stones. How can this price be calculated?"
In the big tent, the foundation-building monks suddenly burst into laughter.
"Brother Qin must be the first time he took this job? I don't know the industry rules very well, so this is normal."
A monk from the Beast Spirit Sect, who was named Wang, explained enthusiastically: "Actually, the cost of this 100 low-grade spirit stone is just the price of simply asking Brother Qin to serve as the National Guardian Immortal Master. You only need to follow the army to go on a journey. You don't need to do anything during this period. We National Guardian Immortal Masters are actually very easy. If you perform important tasks, then the price will be calculated according to the importance of the task. This task depends on whether you are willing or not. If you don't want to go, you can also refuse."
Zhou Yan smiled and said, "No need to hurry this. Brother Qin will understand it slowly. The Zhou family is absolutely fair in doing things. There are old rules to follow for any task. You will get as much as you should. You will never lose a piece of spirit stone."
Ye Qin suddenly laughed humbly and said, "I really don't know about this. I have been practicing hard in the past, but after I achieved a small success, I came out to make a fortune. When I passed by Danyang City, I saw Da Zhou recruiting immortal masters, so I came here."
"No wonder. It is very rare for Brother Qin to enter the foundation-building stage as a casual cultivator." Cultivator Wang smiled and said, "However, Brother Qin doesn't have to worry too much. The possibility of direct fighting between the foundation-building cultivators in the Great Zhou and Northern Qi is very small, and there will be no danger. If there is really danger, I, Fatty Wang, will not come. After all, no matter how many spirit stones there are, it is not as valuable as our lives."
The monks said something in a slight manner.
Ye Qin gradually understood.
The 100 low-grade spirit stones paid by the Great Zhou Kingdom every month, and hired them, a group of foundation-building monks to serve as the Immortal Guard of the Great Zhou Kingdom, the role of the Great Zhou Kingdom is to rely on the titles of these foundation-building monks to strengthen the prestige of the Zhou Kingdom.
The Great Zhou Kingdom recruited more than ten foundation-building monks and one or two hundred Qi training cultivators. In this way, there were five or six thousand low-grade spirit stones in a month, and the expenses were quite huge. Only a large family like the Zhou family could afford it.
The Great Zhou Kingdom cannot afford so many national protectors. Only when there is a very tense war, will temporary recruitment be carried out. Once the most intense war is over, these "national protectors" will leave immediately and will not continue in the Great Zhou.
After Ye Qin became a little familiar with the monks, he opened his mouth and gradually stopped talking, but more listened to what the monks said.
During the conversation, Master Zheng suddenly asked about something and said to Zhou Yan, who was in the head: "Brother Zhou, I don't know why the Great Zhou and Northern Qi suddenly launched a large-scale army."
Zhou Yan's expression changed slightly, and he smiled faintly: "Brother Zheng, this is a long way to say it. It is related to the personal grudge between my Zhou family and the Lu family. It is inconvenient to say it out, so please forgive me."
Everyone was confused, but they did not ask questions. Since Zhou Yan said that this was a personal grudge between Zhou and Lu, it was not convenient for them to ask too much.
Ye Qin's heart was moved.
He naturally knew the reason. There was a newly discovered small spirit stone vein on the border of Great Zhou and Northern Qi, and the two countries launched large-scale troops to seize control of the border. However, this news seemed to have not been spread yet. Only the minority members of the Lu family and Zhou family knew about this matter, so Master Zheng asked this question.
Then, Taoist Zheng asked again: "I don't know when the Great Zhou Kingdom will decide to go to war on Northern Qi Kingdom?"
Zhou Yan pondered: "Well, this battle has been prepared for more than half a year. There should be a fierce battle at the end of this month. Danyang is the largest military center close to Northern Qi. At that time, many national protection immortal masters will come here to ensure the safety of Danyang City. At that time, many immortal cultivators in the Foundation Establishment Stage will gather together, which is quite rare. So before the war begins, I plan to summon everyone to exchange items, and hope everyone can participate!"
The monks of foundation-building nodded and expressed their intention to participate.
According to the customs of the world of immortal cultivation, if many monks gather together, such trade fairs will usually be held, exchanging items with each other, taking out things that they cannot use, and exchanging items in other people's hands. It is beneficial to everyone to take each other's needs.
Ye Qin naturally planned to participate. The foundation-building monks from Danyang Camp may find good items from all over Lingwu, Tianqiongyuan, and Wanyue Lake.
......
The eight foundation-building monks gathered for two or three hours in the bill. After talking about the main business, they chatted about some interesting stories and had a lot of fun. After drinking enough, they each dispersed.
When the monks left, Zhou Yan's face suddenly darkened, "The person who comes is not good, the person who is good will not come! Half of them are people of suspicious origins. Zhou Min, what do you think of these seven of them?"
Behind the screen behind him, a foundation-building monk turned out. This man was a middle-aged handsome man and a member of the Zhou clan. Under the cover of the breath released by Zhou Yan, his aura was hidden very well and was not discovered.
The middle-aged man smiled and said, "The three monks from the Beast Spirit Sect, you can rest assured. Taoist Zheng is a famous evil monk in the chaotic place. He is cruel and ruthless and comes purely for money. As for him asking around, he was afraid he heard some bad news. As for Basha of Ishkuli Kingdom and Lingru of Linghu Kingdom, they are mysterious in their origins and have little silent words. I don't know why they suddenly came to our Great Zhou Kingdom."
Zhou Yan asked, "Where is the young monk named Qin?"
The middle-aged man said, "This person is only over 20 years old. Although he claims to be a casual cultivator, there is never a casual cultivator who builds the foundation in the Lingwu Immortal Cultivation World. This son is mostly a core monk from a certain family or sect, who comes out to practice. Young monks go out to practice, and most of them like to become famous. But this person covers up his identity and doesn't want us to know. This person is quite suspicious, but there is no evidence, and it is not clear what he wants to do when he comes to our Danyang Camp."
"In other words, none of these four people can be trusted?"
The middle-aged man smiled and said, "Unless they are from Zhou clans or monks from the Beast Spirit Sect, they cannot be trusted. However, although these four monks are not trustworthy, they still have to keep them in our Great Zhou to promote their reputation. Otherwise, they will turn around and go to Northern Qi and become the Immortal Guardian of Northern Qi. If the number of foundation-building monks in Great Zhou and Northern Qi is too different, they will be defeated if they don't fight this battle."
Zhou Yan smiled bitterly.
