Chapter 219

~16 min read 3,190 words

I don't know when.

On the large boat-parking field, there were already two or three cultivators.

Their dress and appearance were inconsistent, but each had its own signs.

In other words, there were cultivators from three families wearing unified signs.

This boat-parking field should be jointly operated by three parties of cultivators.

Lu Rong's Divine Work Sect was one of them.

The other two families of cultivators stood far away, stretching their necks, looking like they were watching a good show.

And on Luo Chen's side, Nangong Jin and Li Yixian had unknowingly come behind him.

Looking at Lu Rong, Luo Chen snorted coldly.

"Parking here is us following local customs, not wanting to cause trouble."

"But after you landed, without a word, you came up to wash the boat and repair the boat."

"Then I ask you, how much is the fee?"

"Without clear pricing, explaining in advance. What if washing a flying boat costs me ten thousand spirit stones, hehe!"

Facing Luo Chen's questioning, Lu Rong's face changed slightly.

Then, he slapped out with a palm.

Slap!

A red five-finger print was printed on the left cheek of Xu Xiaoliu next to him.

"Xiaoliu, look at the good thing you did!"

"On the way here, you didn't tell this... how should I address you?" Lu Rong paused and looked at Luo Chen.

Luo Chen snorted lightly, "I am Danchenzi."

Giving a Daoist name, not saying his real name?

Lu Rong frowned, then backhanded another slap.

"Why didn't you explain clearly to Senior Danchenzi on the way here!"

Slap!

On the right cheek of Xu Xiaoliu, there was also a red five-finger print.

It was symmetrical with the left cheek.

This scene left the Qi Refining cultivators from the Luotian Society, Li family, and Nangong family who had just gotten off the boat stunned.

Even, some people glared at each other.

How can you be so disrespectful to people!

"Alright, if you have something to say, say it, don't do these things."

Luo Chen said impatiently.

Lu Rong smiled, rubbed his fingers, as if slapping someone else's face just now made his own hand hurt.

"Fellow Daoist Danchenzi, don't be angry, this matter is indeed our negligence."

"But don't worry, we are honest and fair here, and we will never slaughter customers!"

Still not slaughtering customers?

If I had let you do it just now, how many spirit stones you would collect later would be up to you.

Luo Chen sneered in his heart, but his face relaxed very cooperatively.

"For washing the boat, we charge according to the size of the flying boat. For those within three zhang, one spirit stone at a time. For those within ten zhang, five spirit stones at a time. For a large flying boat like yours, it will be fifty spirit stones at a time."

Hearing this price, the Qi Refining cultivators behind couldn't help but stir.

Vaguely, there were similar words like "Why don't you go rob?"

"This is robbing!"

"It's almost enough to buy half a bottle of Qi-Nurturing Pill."

And so on.

Li Yixian turned her head suddenly and glared over.

The ones stirring were her Li family cultivators.

Used to acting domineering in Dahefang, they had also been well protected along the way.

Coming to this Tianlan Immortal City, they were still so careless.

They weren't afraid of causing trouble!

Look at the Luotian Society cultivators again, all of them kept their mouths shut, watching Luo Chen's back.

Even the Nangong family cultivators had solemn expressions and didn't dare to say much.

After Li Yixian glared, the stir finally stopped.

Lu Rong seemed not to hear those voices, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, it's definitely not as simple as throwing a water ball spell!"

"A flying boat is a magic tool after all, it will be corroded by various things, and if one part is not handled well, it is very easy to damage key parts."

"Usually you can't see anything, but at the critical moment, who knows when it will go wrong."

"Our cleaning is from outside to inside, controlling the overall situation with the Water Mirror Spell, supplemented by the Cleansing Spell, Water Ball Spell, Dust-Removing Spell... plus exclusive spirit liquid."

"After cleaning, keep it clean and leave no filth!"

He stretched out his palm, and five fingers stood up.

Beside him, Xu Xiaoliu couldn't help but shiver.

"Fifty? It's really not expensive!"

The palm shook.

Why do so many auxiliary actions when talking.

Luo Chen asked: "What about repairs?"

The Sky Eagle flying boat had been tossed around all the way and was almost falling apart.

If it wasn't expensive, it would really be worth considering.

Duan Feng is good at casting magic tools.

Regarding repairs, he knows quite a bit about middle and low-grade ones, but is quite ordinary for high-grade magic tools.

And the flying boat belongs to a large magic tool, and the price is comparable to a defensive magic tool of the same grade.

The difficulty of repair is several times higher.

Along the way, it was just mending and patching, not true repairs.

Lu Rong smiled!

He carried his smoking pipe and came to the Sky Eagle flying boat.

Knocking here and hitting there, occasionally releasing spiritual sense to explore the inside.

Finally, with a face like a sunflower, he walked back.

"Let's just say it straight!"

"Your flying boat is a product from Tianfan City two hundred years ago, it's long outdated."

"Some materials on it are not used much now. If you want to repair it, we have to spend a lot of effort to find replacement materials."

"Regarding the formation, it's even more of a mess. I looked at it, the formations arranged are considered excellent, but they are not suitable for flying boat-type magic tools, appearing neither fish nor fowl."

This made Min Longyu's old face blush.

The formation he spent so much effort to arrange was evaluated as neither fish nor fowl by a Foundation Establishment true cultivator.

"I made a rough estimate."

Lu Rong stretched out his palm and held up four fingers.

Xu Xiaoliu shivered again.

"Four thousand! If you want to repair it thoroughly, it will cost four thousand spirit stones!"

"Fellow Daoist Danchenzi, I haven't said a word more about this price!"

After saying that, he looked at Luo Chen expectantly.

"Haha!"

Luo Chen laughed.

It was laughing out of anger!

At this price, add a few hundred, and you can buy another large high-grade flying boat.

This Lu Rong really treated them as fat sheep from out of town to slaughter!

Seeing Luo Chen laugh, Lu Rong's eyes also lit up.

"Fellow Daoist, what do you mean?"

"Not washing!"

"Hmm?"

"Not repairing either!"

"Uh!"

Lu Rong's smile disappeared.

"Fellow Daoist, you seem to be making fun of me."

Luo Chen also put away his smile, "That ice fortress cultivator guarding the gate just said let us park the boat, but didn't say we must wash it, must repair it."

Lu Rong opened his mouth, and finally laughed out of anger.

He couldn't be bothered to argue with Luo Chen, and returned to the shade before, sitting and smoking.

Luo Chen glanced at him and looked at Xu Xiaoliu.

"How is the parking fee charged?"

Xu Xiaoliu was no longer as clever as before, and said carefully: "For a large flying boat like yours, the price for parking each day is one low-grade spirit stone."

"Is there a time limit?"

"Yes, after more than a month, the price doubles."

"How to ensure that you won't dismantle precious materials?"

"The management of Tianlan City has installed shadow-recording walls here, which can monitor the whole process. If precious materials are really stolen, the law enforcement team of Tianlan City will catch the thief and punish them severely."

"If the flying boat is destroyed, what then?"

"Should... not happen, right!"

"Alright, park for ten days first!"

After Luo Chen finished speaking, Sima Huiniang walked up and took out ten spirit stones to hand to Xu Xiaoliu.

"We also park for ten days!"

"My side too."

On the Li family and Nangong family side, cultivators immediately took out spirit stones.

After Xu Xiaoliu took them, he ran to a small pavilion in the boat-parking field.

Before long, he took out three tokens that were neither wood nor iron.

"This is the parking token, you can use this to settle the parking fee when the time comes."

After speaking, he stood respectfully to the side.

Waiting for Luo Chen and the others to leave.

But unexpectedly.

Luo Chen looked at him from afar.

"We are missing a guide, are you interested in earning a tip?"

Xu Xiaoliu was stunned, and immediately followed him happily.

Luo Chen smiled slightly, glanced at Lu Rong without a trace, and left with the people.

After they left.

Cultivators opposite the Divine Work Sect in the boat-parking field laughed.

"Lu Rong, you're embarrassed!"

"Get lost!"

"Fellow Daoist Lu Rong, business still needs to be done well, how can you slaughter people when you see them! In my opinion, if you talk well, you might be able to get a business."

"Go to hell!"

Lu Rong's face was gloomy, looking at the direction Luo Chen and the others left.

"Damn, a bunch of poor ghosts from the countryside, can't even squeeze two taels of oil."

Taking a deep breath of smoke, as the smoke slowly returned to his body.

His vision wandered and fell on the Sky Eagle flying boat that had just parked steadily.

A trace of sinister appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"So black!"

"Yeah, yeah, parking a flying boat, one spirit stone a day."

"Parking is still okay, such a large flying boat can't be put into an ordinary storage bag. We don't have a place to stay for the time being, so charging money is like asking someone to keep it. The most pitfall is the price of washing the boat and repairing the boat."

"Cut, really treat us as bumpkins from the countryside, slaughtering us if we don't agree."

"Qian Tong, stop talking. When the Luotian Society Dao Discussion Platform opened, didn't you also slaughter us outsiders?"

"Tsk tsk, how to say this. This time is different from that time, now everyone is brothers!"

"I have to say, it's still the President who is old and cunning, seeing at a glance that they are not good people!"

"Indeed, when I saw a group of people wanting to help us wash the flying boat, I was quite happy."

"Following the President is never wrong, he never let us suffer."

"I don't know, next, where will we live, and what will happen in the future."

"Don't think so much, let's take a good look at the atmosphere of the big immortal city later!"

"Yeah, looking from afar before, it was so shocking. I don't know, what is it like inside?"

The discussion behind him was endless.

Luo Chen seemed not to hear, walking, and looking at Xu Xiaoliu with a smile that was not a smile.

"Liuzi, you helping outsiders slaughter me, that's not very authentic!"

Outsider?

You are the outsider!

Xu Xiaoliu swallowed his saliva and said in horror: "Senior, I was wrong. You can't kill me, my uncle is an ice fortress cultivator."

"Your uncle? That old man at the ninth level of Qi Refining guarding the gate?"

"Hmm, hmm, hmm!" He nodded like a garlic masher, fearing Luo Chen would have the heart to kill.

"Then are you an ice fortress cultivator?"

"No."

"Rogue cultivator?"

"Hmm, hmm."

Xu Xiaoliu, who was nodding, suddenly realized, "Why doesn't Senior think I'm from the Divine Work Sect?"

Luo Chen pouted, "Look at your clothes."

Xu Xiaoliu looked, the ordinary white shirt magic clothes, and instantly realized.

His dress and appearance were indeed not that set of the Divine Work Sect.

Luo Chen smiled slightly, judging that Xu Xiaoliu was not a disciple of the Divine Work Sect, not just because of the clothes.

There were also some characteristics on his palms.

Those disciples of the Divine Work Sect all had thick calluses on their hands, and their whole bodies exuded a special smell.

It should be the so-called exclusive spirit liquid stained by washing flying boats all year round.

Ever since the Cleansing Spell reached Great Perfection, he has been very sensitive to these smells.

As a judgment, it is still feasible.

"Logically speaking, your uncle is an ice fortress disciple, so Lu Rong shouldn't be able to humiliate you in such a public way!"

Before Xu Xiaoliu could answer.

Luo Chen asked curiously: "Then, how much benefit did they give you to make you work so hard to pull customers, and even cooperate in slaughtering customers?"

Xu Xiaoliu scratched his head embarrassedly.

"One tenth."

"One tenth of the profit?"

"No, it's one tenth of the fee."

"No wonder!" Luo Chen realized, "If this order really succeeded, just for my flying boat, you could earn several hundred spirit stones. All you paid was running errands. If it didn't succeed, it was just two slaps."

Xu Xiaoliu patted his chest, "I'm worth this price!"

"How to say?"

Xu Xiaoliu said confidently: "I grew up in Tianlan Immortal City since I was a child and am extremely familiar with this place. My uncle is an ice fortress disciple who has been on duty for ten years, so they naturally give me this treatment."

Luo Chen smiled slightly.

That's right!

With such a guide, many troublesome things can be saved later.

Min Longyu has been away from Tianlan Immortal City for too long, and the situation here changes every day, so he can't know everything.

Like Xu Xiaoliu, a local snake who dares to slaughter outsiders, is the guide he truly needs.

"Then next, will you still play small tricks?"

Xu Xiaoliu shook his head hurriedly.

Where would he dare.

This senior doesn't look like a bumpkin from those rural cultivation families that are easy to fool.

Very shrewd!

Moreover, he neither pretends to be big nor is weak.

Talking to Lu Rong, back and forth, he found out the situation of the boat-parking field clearly.

Finally, he lost nothing and left gracefully.

"What is the situation with that Divine Work Sect?"

"Hey, what situation can there be. Two or three big cats and small kittens, got some casting inheritance, and then spent money to open up relationships, and then got some industry in the boat-parking field and in the city. I just look at..."

"Detail it!"

"Uh, regarding the sect, there are three Foundation Establishment true cultivators, taking turns..."

Unknowingly, he had walked outside the moat again.

"Senior, are all of you going into the city?"

Luo Chen naturally said "Hmm."

Xu Xiaoliu scratched his head, "Entering the city once costs one spirit stone. And you can only stay for one day, if you come out and go in again, you have to pay spirit stones, it's a bit expensive!"

He was a bit unsure whether Luo Chen was rich or poor.

After all, on the boat-parking field side, the other party didn't even want to pay for washing the boat.

But looking at his dress, he didn't look like a poor person.

Luo Chen smiled and called Sima Huiniang.

Then, she took Xu Xiaoliu to pay the spirit stones.

Li Yixian and Nangong Jin leaned over.

"Luo Chen, isn't it a bit bad for you to lose Lu Rong's face like that before?"

Nangong Jin said worriedly.

Luo Chen glanced at him and looked at Li Yixian again.

"Do you mean that too?"

Li Yixian hesitated, then nodded lightly.

However, Luo Chen sneered.

"He played small tricks first, so what if I lose his face?"

"Must those from out of town be a head shorter?"

"Moreover, doing business, face is the least valuable thing. If he wants to cause trouble because of face, then he shouldn't do business!"

Li Yixian's heart trembled.

Nangong Jin remembered the scene of Luo Chen rising in Dahefang.

Defeating the coalition of the Dajiang Gang and the Xuanyi Society!

Destroying the Fu family to establish prestige!

Surrounded on all sides, he broke the Small Huan Mountain, cut down the Duan family, and from then on gained the opportunity to sit on an equal footing with their Foundation Establishment forces.

It was precisely by taking advantage of this opportunity that he had enough time and space to calmly establish Foundation.

It can be seen.

Luo Chen has never been a character who is willing to be under others.

However, this time is different from that time!

Nangong Jin sighed, "We are not familiar with the place here, what if we offend someone we shouldn't offend..."

"Can those who can only fish for oil in places like the boat-parking field not be offended?" Luo Chen looked at him coldly.

Li Yixian hesitated: "It is said that there are also people who rely on others to bully others, borrowing land to make money."

"Then his human power is probably not big, and three families have to fight for food!"

Luo Chen snorted coldly.

In the boat-parking field, there is more than one force like Lu Rong.

Looking at the two people who were worried about gains and losses, Luo Chen couldn't help shaking his head.

They are two major Foundation Establishment cultivation families in Dahefang after all.

How high and mighty they were at the beginning.

Changing to a place, but they are so timid.

He admits that when arriving in a strange place, one should indeed be low-key.

But one cannot be so low-key that when others put a knife to their necks and prepare to slaughter, they still silently endure it.

That is not cultivation.

That is cultivating a turtle grandson!

"What I seek is a free and easy life, not the longevity of a thousand-year-old turtle!"

Silently saying a sentence in his heart, Luo Chen jumped over the two and found Sima Huiniang.

Behind him.

Nangong Jin sighed suddenly.

He remembered the scene of being taken by the Bai family with a group of Liuguangfang robbery cultivators.

At that time, if he hadn't fought back madly and didn't hesitate to burn with them,

The Nangong family would have been removed from the name long ago.

"Perhaps, what Luo Chen did is right!"

Li Yixian opened her mouth, but didn't know what to say.

Since leaving Dahefang, she found that her shortcomings were getting more and more.

Lacking opinions, no strategy.

Vision is not long-term, and she is not good at managing subordinates.

Everything seems to be walking one step and looking one step.

"Can I really lead the Li family to survive in Tianlan Immortal City like this?"

Asking herself, but there is no answer.

In her eyes, it seemed that the scene of the Fu family being destroyed appeared.

That was a cultivation family that was defeated and left Tianlan Immortal City, and finally destroyed in Dahefang.

Was the cause of death that there was no Foundation Establishment true cultivator sitting in town?

I'm afraid, not necessarily!
