Sign in at the beginning, I am the Holy Body of Chaos

the next day.

A man in black who claimed to be a disciple of Jiuwu Outer Sect lived up to Bai Yuan's expectations and rushed to Yemeng Island.

At this moment, in the center of the island, in the newly rebuilt village.

A dozen or so middle-aged people in different costumes gathered together. They were all nearby traders and leaders of local forces.

And the reason why they gathered here today is nothing more than a pure profit transaction.

Just at this time, the man in black came in, and as soon as they met, he bowed his hands and said: "Master Ye, I haven't missed any good show!"

"No, it's just in time!" Above, Ye Niang was sitting on a big bamboo and rattan chair, her muscles were still exaggerated, and that sturdy aura made everyone present feel heavy in their chests.

Ye Niang grinned and pointed at Chu Nan: "Let me introduce you, this is Brother Nan from Linglong!"

For a moment, the two looked at each other.

Both sides felt a sense of hostility from each other's eyes, but they remained silent.

This is Yemeng Island, it doesn't matter who is strong and who is weak, what is important is that if any of them take the initiative to attack, what awaits them must be Ye Niang's violent and terrifying blow!
"Very good, since we all know each other, let me get straight to the point!"

Ye Niang nodded with a smile, glanced at the dozen or so middle-aged people below, and said, "Nah, that's them! They still have a batch of spiritual mines in their hands now! Little guy from Jiuwu, you are probably doing it for this batch of spiritual mines." From the mine, right?"

"As for me, what I talk about is fairness, justice, and openness! So, Brother Nan, you don't mind competing with Jiuwu fairly?"

Chu Nan's complexion was a little bad, he tried his best to suppress a smile, and said, "I don't mind!"

"That's good, then, the next two can make their own price!"

Ye Niang smiled, shut her words, immediately embraced her arms, and watched a good show.

Chu Nan didn't give in, and immediately threw out chips: "Five thousand spirit stones and ten top-grade yellow-rank magic weapons. This price has exceeded the market price by a lot, how about it?"

The faces of more than a dozen middle-aged people were suddenly filled with joy. Seeing this, the black-clothed man in Jiuwu immediately said: "Don't rush to promise him, I will offer you [-] spirit stones and ten high-grade yellow-ranked spirit charms!"

"Ten?" Chu Nan glanced at him disdainfully, and said with a smile, "Are you mistaken, what I produced is a magic weapon! No matter how good the talisman is, can it be better than a magic weapon?"

"You!" The man in black was obviously in pain. He gritted his teeth and said, "That's twenty pieces. Our Jiuwu's magic talisman is engraved with my Jiuwu's unique spell. It is very powerful and is one of the magic talismans." The best! The value of my twenty magic talismans from Nine Mists is by no means lower than the ordinary ten magic weapons!"

Hearing this, more than a dozen middle-aged people whispered to each other, looking at their appearance, they seemed to have been tempted.

The man in black just smiled, but unexpectedly, Chu Nan slammed the table and stood up: "Jiu Wu, I'm not afraid to tell you, I'm bound to get this batch of spiritual mines! Isn't it just a price increase? No! Six thousand spirit stones, fifteen top-grade yellow magic weapons!"

Hearing the price, the man in black couldn't help but gasped.

This is so wrong!

Didn't it mean that the other party was bankrupt?How can I increase the price?

Before he could figure it out, above, Ye Niang's face darkened suddenly, and she asked in a cold voice: "Brother Nan, what do you mean? Didn't you tell me that all your belongings are so much? Could it be that you have been living here since you were born?" You were lying to me from the beginning?"

breath, began to climb.

Just for a moment, Ye Niang was like a scourge, exuding a suffocating breath.

Chu Nan withstood the pressure with difficulty, then suppressed a smile, and said, "Master Ye, don't get angry! You also know that I am a member of the Linglong Sect. Don't worry, all the prices I add will be paid by the Linglong Sect in the end." Come to settle the bill."

"That's not allowed!" Ye Niang raised her eyebrows and said forcefully: "I don't care what Linglong thinks, this is my territory, and the rules are up to me! How much money you have, how much goods you get, even by a fraction! I One last warning to you, anyone, if you can't pay the bill on the spot, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

After saying that, she waved out a heavy-duty magic weapon in the shape of a mace, and smashed it to the ground with a bang.

The ground shook, and the turbulent breath almost overturned everyone!
terrible!
It's really scary!

The man in black swallowed, he knew that Leader Ye's words were not only for the other party, but also for himself.

At this moment, embarrassment flashed across Chu Nan's face. He gritted his teeth, nodded embarrassingly and said, "Okay, I really can't get out the fifteen magic weapons, but I do have the equivalent panacea."

"Yes, as long as the price is right, then everyone will be happy!" Ye Niang changed into the previous smile again, and her face changed so quickly that it was simply jaw-dropping.

Seeing this, the man in black made up his mind that no matter what, he must not offend such a terrifying woman.

Buy and sell, go ahead.

This time, it was Chu Nan's turn to stare at the man in black from Jiuwu.

"Hehe! What are you looking at!" The man in black from Jiuwu also stood up, and he carefully took out a Qiankun bag from his arms, put it on the table, and said, "I don't bring much, and I don't I’m not interested in being like a piece of trash, just asking for a price! How about this, I’ll just buy it now, 640 five spirit stones, plus 23 high-grade top-grade talismans of the yellow rank! And half a bottle of mid-grade elixir of the yellow rank.”

When saying these words, the man in black looked at Chu Nan provocatively.

From the situation just now, he could already see that it would be difficult for the other party to come up with any resources.

Although his price increase this time was not particularly large, it was like the last straw that broke the camel's back. It was extremely heavy!

More than a dozen middle-aged people looked at each other, and one of them got up hurriedly and said with a smile: "Thank you for your patronage, we are very satisfied with the price..."

"Wait!"

Chu Nan suddenly made a sound, and everyone looked back, the man in black said disdainfully: "What's the matter, want to get mad? Tsk tsk, Linglongzong is only promising!"

"Who told you that I was angry?" Chu Nan's face was very embarrassing, he gasped, gritted his teeth, and took out a Qiankun bag, put it on the table, and shouted with red eyes: "I don't have anything to add, But I still have this universe bag! I will add this universe bag!"

hiss……

Everyone gasped, and the black-clothed man in Jiuwu's eyes widened even more.

Is this guy crazy?
Qiankun bag is worth more than ten thousand spirit stones!This kind of treasure is also very rare in big sects like Jiuwu and Linglong!

Even if they add up all their belongings, I'm afraid they won't be able to buy a universe bag!
Businessman, chasing profit.

More than a dozen middle-aged people turned their eyes and hurriedly surrounded Chu Nan. The middle-aged man who had just approached the man in black said bluntly, "Sorry! I hope I can understand!"

The man in black's face was changing, seeing that the deal had been decided, and that madman actually came out like this, which almost blew him away.

Thinking of Bai Yuan's order before, he was heartbroken, gritted his teeth, and shouted: "Linglong, are you blind? Do you think you are the only one with the Qiankun bag? Everyone, I will also add my Qiankun bag!"

After the words fell, the scene was silent.

More than a dozen middle-aged people couldn't believe their ears.

But that Chu Nan, like a deflated balloon, plopped down on the chair and murmured: "It's over... It's over... What should we do now... Zongmen blames... It's over..."

Above, Ye Niang showed a sly smile.

"It seems that the transaction has been confirmed? Very good, pay with one hand, and deliver with one hand! Let me tell you first, I will charge a 15.00% handling fee for this transaction! Later, you old guys, don't forget Just pay me the bill!"

"Yes! Yes! It's natural!"

"Don't worry, Boss Ye, you won't lose a penny!"

……

Everyone smiled and nodded. Under the cheers and laughter, the deal was quickly finalized.

Afterwards, Ye Niang specially arranged a return ship and escort for the man in black. Of course, she didn't pay for nothing, and she had to pay the bill!

This ship of Spirit Mine was far smaller than the previous one.

The speed of the return journey is also much faster.

In addition, along the way, the man in black used his own spiritual power to break through the waves, and in just one night, he returned to Bai Yuan's residence with a boat of spiritual mines.

This matter was so important that Bai Yuan also personally inspected the goods. After confirming that there was no problem with the Ling Mine, although Bai Yuan felt sorry for the price, he finally gained confidence in his heart.

"So, Yemeng is not partial to Nanchu?"

"Of course, I watched the whole process, and there was only a little interest exchange. Even our transaction, Yemeng also charged 15.00% for procedures!"

"very good."

Bai Yuan smiled, the day when the special envoy and the city lord will inspect and accept the taxes of the Ling Mine is approaching, he doesn't believe that the other party can think of a way to break the situation in such a short period of time.

This price has indeed made him very painful, but compared to the reward, it is not worth mentioning.

The merit of expanding the spiritual mine site is enough to make him qualified to aspire to the top of heaven, and he may even become an elder with real power by virtue of this credit in the future.

Just thinking about these things, Bai Yuan was secretly delighted...

Time passed day by day.

Everything is so peaceful.

The Linglong Sect seemed to have completely given up, and there was no further disturbance.

From Bai Yuan's point of view, these are also very normal. After all, they have reached this point, what else can they do?
In a blink of an eye, it finally came to the day to check and accept the Ling Mine tax.

The day is very good today, the river is calm, the wind is sunny.

"Master Envoy."

"Lord City Lord!"

The outer sect disciples stationed at the Linglong Sect and the four great nobles had gathered by the river, and when they saw the carriage approaching, they immediately greeted them in unison.

On the carriage, there were two people getting off. One was broad and fat, and he was the city lord of Crossing the River. The other was wearing a red official robe, with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks. He was the special envoy sent by the Xuantian Empire this time.

The two were chatting and laughing, and they came to the riverside after a while.

Everyone boarded the large passenger ship by the river that had been waiting for a long time.

On the boat, the diva danced lightly.

The music and the smell of wine are mixed together, which is the beautiful scenery of crossing the river, which is too beautiful to be absorbed.

In addition to those singers and attendants, there are three groups of people on board, and they have been waiting for a long time.

They were Chu Nan and Xiao Yan who had disguised themselves, and Bai Yuan, a disciple of Nine Mist, who was competing for the mining rights this time, and finally Lin Xin, the Xuanxinzong who had bumped into Chu Nan and the others when they entered the city. Shangguan Du Fei and other suitors are always by Lin Xin's side.

These three groups of people sit in three parties, and they don't have any hatred for each other, but they don't have any intersection.

It wasn't until the special envoy, the city lord and others boarded the boat that the three parties stood up and bowed their hands in salute.

"Special envoy, let me introduce you. This is Bai Yuan from Jiuwu, and this is Lin Xin from Xuanxinzong. You should be more familiar with this one than me, Du Fei, Shangguan of Xuantian Empire..."

The city lord introduced everyone to the special envoy with a smile, and Bai Yuan and others nodded in response.

When talking about Shangguan Du Fei, Shangguan Du Fei's expression was very proud, and the special envoy also responded with a very cooperative smile.

However, when the city lord introduced Chu Nan, he frowned.

Who is this person?

Why doesn't he have the slightest impression?
"Let me introduce myself, Linglong Sect, inner sect disciple, you can call me Chu Nan! What about her! She belongs to my brother, Yan Xiao!"

After saying that, Chu Nan took a slight step forward and actively released his own spiritual energy.

Shangguan Du Fei and the others immediately turned their heads, and Lin Xin's pupils contracted even more rapidly.

Chu Nan!

What a resounding name that is!

Battle, Shangguan Xunyun.

Dou, geniuses of all sects.

The holy son of Linglong, the talent of the sky, but the sky is jealous of the talents, disappeared in the first battle of the Chang family rebellion, and seems to have died.

However, when Lin Xin and others saw Chu Nan's real face and saw his face clearly, they all shook their heads in disappointment.

It's very similar, but it's not, and the cultivation base and breath are not right.

rumored.

When Chu Nan left the Linglong Sect, he was only at the peak of the Ninth Stage of Body Tempering. Even if the rumors are wrong, judging from Lin Xin and others' judgment on the Linglong Conference, Chu Nan is now at most perfect in Body Tempering, half a step to Lingtai.

And this person in front of him, although his appearance is similar to Chu Nan's, his cultivation has already reached the peak of the early stage of Lingtai, and he is only one step away from entering the middle stage of Lingtai.

This level of cultivation is obviously a fellow Taoist who has been cultivating for a long time, and it is absolutely impossible for him to be the rising star Chu Nan...

"Fellow Daoist, please stop making fun of Chu Nan." Lin Xin was more polite, but there was already a little displeasure between his brows.

"Friend Daoist, Linglong Chu Nan really can't just joke around."

"Fellow Daoist, tell me your real name!"

The others were similar, except Shangguan Du Fei who was particularly disgusted, his voice was full of anger: "Another guy who calls himself Chu Nan, do you casual cultivators like calling yourself that trash so much?"

Chu Nan brought nothing but shame to the Xuantian Empire's Shangguan surname.

The last time he met Chu Nan, he was already very depressed, but this time, in front of everyone, and this year's annual taxation scene, his anger was hard to contain.

"Uh uh uh……"

Chu Nan was a little dumbfounded. Is it so difficult to tell the truth these days?
Fortunately, everyone didn't get too entangled in this issue, and the city lord soon started this year's taxation.

"Everyone, finish the business early and call it a day! My lord special envoy is still waiting!"

"Yes!"

"it is good!"

While speaking, Bo Yuan snapped his fingers, because the Qiankun bag had been sold to pay off the debt, this time it was several black-clothed outer disciples from Jiuwu who were carrying the several boxes of spiritual mines that had been sorted out , come forward.

bang.

The box fell to the ground, looking at the heavy weight, even if you don't count it in detail, the city lord knows that there is definitely enough to pay taxes here.

But here comes the question, who is Bai Yuan paying for?
"City Lord, I, Jiuwu, and the four great nobles have reached a cooperation agreement. Although we have not yet settled in, we are also duty-bound to pay taxes this year. Please check and accept it!"

Bai Yuan smiled and looked at Zhao Chuanfei and the others while speaking.

It was a bit messy just now, and he didn't see it clearly, but after a closer look, he realized that the one-eyed eyeliner he had placed was not among them.

Could it be... something happened?
Bai Yuan frowned, but quickly regained his composure.

No matter what kind of accident happened, it doesn't matter, the acceptance has already started, and one-eyed is already worthless, even if one-eyed jumps out to testify against oneself now, what can be changed?
"Good! Very good! Very good!" The city lord was overjoyed.

After discussing with the special envoy long ago, he decided to add fuel to the flames and help Jiuwu settle in and cross the river.

After all, the relationship between the Linglong Sect and the Xuantian Empire is not what it used to be in recent times. Besides, the intervention of other sects can also prevent the Linglong family from dominating.

No matter for any purpose, the settlement of Jiuwu is absolutely beneficial to the Xuantian Empire and has no harm at all!
While speaking, the city lord deliberately glanced at Zhao Chuanfei and other disciples of Linglong's outer sect. He was also aware of the recent struggle between the two families, so he asked knowingly: "Everyone from Linglong, where is your mine? Don't get me wrong, I didn't mean to target you, but These mines are paid by the four nobles of the Jiuwu Gang, and one yard is worth one yard. After all, the mining rights have always been in your hands, so you can’t just not take out any mines, can you?”

The city lord's words were very polite, but Zhao Chuanfei and others were very embarrassed.

They had no choice but to secretly cast their eyes on Chu Nan, hoping that Chu Nan could help them out.

Everyone also noticed their gazes, and looked at Chu Nan one after another.

Shangguan Du Fei grinned and said, "Hey, so you are really a member of the Linglong Sect? Then let me ask you, what about the mines? Or, do you, the Linglong Sect, plan not to pay mining taxes from now on?"

This is a bit serious.

Linglong and Xuantian Empire have a mutually beneficial relationship, and the agreement signed is also beneficial to both parties.

If Linglong breaks the contract unilaterally, to put it mildly, the mining rights will be lost!To put it more seriously, the Baobuqi Xuantian Empire just took the opportunity to launch an attack to avenge Shangguan Xunyun's humiliation!

Chu Nan, who was well aware of the stakes, was no longer silent. He smiled lightly and said, "Don't worry, my mine will come soon!"

The mayor was a little embarrassed.

He glanced at Chu Nan, then at Shangguan Du Fei and the others, his eyes kept changing.

"That's fine. You Linglong has never defaulted on mining tax in the past, so I'll wait a little longer!" The city lord nodded. He was not helping Chu Nan, but was giving an ultimatum. While speaking, he smiled at the envoy again. Said: "My lord, let's sit down first, listen to some music, and drink some wine!"

"Okay! Then thank you, the city lord!"

"You're welcome, the special envoy has come from afar, I should take good care of you!"

Everyone was seated, and all kinds of delicacies were quickly served.

Only Chu Nan and Xiao Yan didn't even put a pot of wine in front of them. Zhao Chuanfei was very embarrassed. He didn't know that this would happen. Stop drinking.

According to the rules of previous years, this tax banquet was jointly organized by the four nobles.

Not giving Chu Nan a glass of wine is enough to show how narrow-minded these four nobles are.

Everyone was chatting and laughing, although some people satirized Chu Nan from time to time, but except for Shangguan Du Fei, everyone still didn't target them too much.

From the beginning to the end, Chu Nanna didn't say a word, just sat quietly with Xiao Yan.

Time flies by quickly.

Three rounds of wine, five flavors of food.

Soon, before you knew it, it was dusk.

One day has passed, and the city lord asked himself that he had given Linglong enough face. In addition, the river wind was cold at night, and it was inconvenient to entertain the special envoy. Friends, may I understand now that you have no mines to give?"

Before, everyone didn't target Chu Nan, it was because they were giving face to the city lord, so as not to spoil everyone's elegance.

And here, when the city lord opened his mouth, it really poked a hornet's nest.

"Fellow Daoist, it doesn't matter if you don't have mines. If you don't have mines, you will deliberately waste everyone's time. That's a crime."

"Little brother, just admit it honestly! You can't take out the mine!"

The men and horses of Jiuwu and Bai Yuan were talking indifferently, but the joy of victory and the look of disdain in their eyes were not concealed in any way.

Shangguan Du Fei was even more so. He shouted loudly: "Hey! I said a long time ago that this waste can't possibly have mines. Take a look, I'm right!"

At this time, Chu Nan still didn't say a word, which made the city lord and others believe that Chu Nan was just delaying time.

"That's all, then I will declare that Nian Linglong's achievements in the past, and the default of mining tax this time, will not be blamed! However, the order of crossing the river must not be disordered, so the mining rights of the spirit mine should be redistributed."

The city lord shook his head, and while speaking, he looked at Bai Yuan: "I propose that [-]% of the mining rights be assigned to Jiuwu Bai Yuan..."

Bo Yuan is in a good mood at the moment, he has been waiting for this day for too long.

Is this moment finally coming? Can he finally get that mining right?

"almost."

Chu Nan suddenly made a sound, he got up and stretched, and then, ignoring everyone's surprised gazes, he walked to the side of the boat, looked into the distance, and muttered to himself: "Oh, it's really slow, but it's coming. "

The sound was not loud, but everyone could hear it clearly.

The next moment, everyone including the special envoy and Xiao Yan followed his gaze.

Bo Yuan was no exception, but just at this moment, he was horrified!

"This! This is impossible!"

"It shouldn't be! I don't believe it, it is absolutely impossible for him to get the mine!"

What did he see?
On the surface of the river, a large ship, riding the wind and waves, breaking through the rising fog, is heading straight at an extremely fast speed!And on the bow of the boat, stood a man——Nan Chu!
