Chapter 295: 2 Defenses and 1 Attack
"Junior Brother Xu, congratulations! Shuiye Island is a great opportunity."
Walking out of Lengmei's palace, Bai Tongyuan smiled and bowed slightly, then said to Xu Changshou.
Xu Changshou could clearly see that there was an unknown gleam in Bai Tongyuan's eyes.
So, he smiled bitterly and said, "Brother Bai, please stop teasing me. I didn't want to go to Shuiye Island either. It was Uncle Leng who insisted that I go. I was just forcing him to do something."
"Humph!"
Qian Yuanming behind him snorted coldly after hearing his words, and sneered: "Junior Brother Xu, don't be ungrateful for what you have. If you can really defend this Shuiye Island, you can at least save yourself fifty years of detours, and it's possible to help you form a pill."
"Brother Qian, may I borrow your auspicious words."
Xu Changshou spoke with an apologetic smile.
How could he not understand that Qian Yuanming was speaking in a sarcastic way, but the other person was stronger and more powerful than him. There was no need to refute someone who was stronger than him. It was meaningless.
Shi Wenlu also came over, looking at Xu Changshou with a big smile on his face, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Junior Brother Xu, this is a great opportunity for the rise of Green Ink Peak. Seize it well. I have high hopes for you."
"Yes, yes, I will definitely protect Shuiye Island."
"Junior Brother Xu, we have things to do. We won't talk any more. Goodbye."
Bai Tongyuan waved his hand and the three of them summoned their flying swords.
"Junior Brother Xu, goodbye."
Zhang Zongchang smiled kindly at Xu Changshou, and also summoned his flying sword and left.
"Brother Zhang, take care." As he watched the four people disappear into the sky, a cold light flashed in Xu Changshou's eyes.
then.
Xu Changshou also took out his flying sword, stepped on the flying sword, and slowly left Taiyi Peak.
"Junior Brother Xu."
Suddenly, someone called out to Xu Changshou from the vast white clouds. It sounded like a woman's voice.
Xu Changshou turned around and took a look, slightly surprised that it was Miao Ke.
"Sister Miao, where are you going?"
"Looking for you."
Miao Ke smiled slightly.
"Find me?"
"Yes, looking for you."
Xu Changshou was very puzzled. He and Miao Ke had no contact with each other, so why did she look for him?
"Sister Miao, are you looking for me to sell me a puppet?"
Xu Changshou asked tentatively.
In his opinion, Miao Ke was from Tianji Peak, and people from Tianji Peak were good at making puppets.
Miao Ke would not look for me for no reason. Maybe she felt that it was dangerous for her to guard Shuiye Island, so she wanted to sell things to me.
These senior brothers and sisters in the sect are all like this. Usually, they are more arrogant than anyone else.
Once they are able to sell their local specialties to their junior fellow students, they all grin from ear to ear.
Miao Ke shook her head, counted on her fingers, and said with a smile: "It was difficult at first, but we will overcome it in the end."
Xu Changshou scratched his head: "What do you mean? I don't understand."
Miao Ke explained, "Though Junior Brother will encounter some setbacks this time, he will ultimately be the biggest beneficiary of this game."
Xu Changshou seemed to understand Miao Ke's words, but not quite.
"Sister Miao, you called me here just to talk about this."
Xu Changshou spoke, and the meaning of his words was very clear, he was asking what Miao Ke was going to do.
Ever since he established his foundation, he has been cheated by his senior brothers many times.
Everyone who takes the initiative to contact you has his or her own purpose.
This made Xu Changshou alert. Unless it was necessary, he would not take the initiative to contact his senior brothers and sisters who had higher cultivation than him.
When someone approaches Xu Changshou, he will subconsciously become alert immediately.
"Junior Brother Xu, don't be nervous. I have no other intention in looking for you. I just want to get to know you?" Miao Ke said with a smile.
"Just an acquaintance?" Xu Changshou didn't believe it at all.
Miao Ke rolled her eyes at him and said coquettishly, "Why, do you think I approached you just to sell you puppets?"
"Yes."
Xu Changshou nodded bluntly.
Miao Ke was speechless and frowned, "We at Qianji Peak are not only good at making puppets. Puppets are just a tool to make money. Our Tianji Peak mainly focuses on the study of deduction."
"Yes, yes! I almost forgot."
Xu Changshou nodded quickly.
Tianji Peak is really a bit mysterious.
It is said that Tianji Peak is good at deducing the secrets of heaven, and many important decisions of the sect must be approved by Tianji Peak before they can be finally made.
Especially when it comes to major interests, or when the sect's survival is at stake, the people of Tianji Peak have the final say.
In addition, although Tianji Peak also sells puppets, it is not as arrogant and domineering as other peaks.
A little mysterious, a little low-key.
Take Miao Ke today for example, she gives people a very calm feeling.
Faced with such huge benefits from Shuiye Island, she remained calm and never showed any desire for Shuiye Island from beginning to end.
Only when Leng Mei asked her did she recommend Zhang Zongchang.
Also.
The people of Tianji Peak, in addition to refining various puppets, are best at fortune-telling.
It can be said that everyone in Tianji Peak is a fortune teller and feng shui master.
Any disciple at the foundation-building stage, if placed in the mortal world, would definitely be an old immortal with great foresight.
Of course, the fate of mortals is easy to calculate, but the fate of immortal cultivators is difficult to predict.
Cultivators are affected by too many causes and effects, and their fate is changeable, so it is difficult to predict.
The main subject of the disciples of Tianji Peak is to study the fate of cultivators, the rise and fall of sects, and some disasters in the world of cultivation.
As the head of Tianji Peak, Miao Ke is naturally well versed in the art of deduction.
"Junior Brother Xu, let's be frank. I see that you have great fortune and I want to establish a good relationship with you."
Miao Ke's words interrupted Xu Changshou's thoughts.
Am I blessed?
His expression changed. "Senior Sister Miao, what you just said is that I will become the biggest beneficiary of Shuiye Island?"
Miao Ke nodded: "About the same."
"Senior Sister Miao, I have something to ask you." Xu Changshou bowed.
Miao Ke smiled casually: "Speak."
Xu Changshou: "I still don't understand the matter of Shuiye Island. What is the mining rights of Shuiye Island?"
Miao Ke pondered for a moment before answering, "Simple. The cultivation resources of the entire Eastern Cultivation World are monopolized by the five major sects. To prevent independent cultivators from obtaining more resources, the five major sects have jointly established a rule: any spirit stone or metal mines discovered outside of their territories are the rights of the five major sects to develop."
"As for which company will ultimately obtain the mining rights, it will require some negotiation."
"How to play the game?" Xu Changshou asked curiously.
It was the first time for him to come face to face with some matters concerning the sect's top leaders, and he was eager to know the inside story.
Miao Ke smiled in amusement. "For mining rights to spirit stone mines like Shuiye Island, the game usually uses a 'two defend, one attack' strategy."
"What is two defenses and one attack?"
Xu Changshou was completely confused. He had not expected that there were so many tricks involved in mining a spirit stone mine.
Miao Ke said calmly, "For example, regarding Shuiye Island, it was our Green Immortal Sect that first discovered the spiritual stone mines on Shuiye Island. Therefore, we can send people to guard Shuiye Island. In this case, we will be the defending party. The other four sects, Hehuan Sect, Wanxian Tower, Mo Family, and Wanchui Sect, will be the attacking party."
Xu Changshou was horrified when he heard this: "What, Senior Sister Miao, are you saying that the other four great sects will send people to attack Shuiye Island?"
