Chapter 1,329 Popular for a while
Xie Bao, for the sake of Thousand Marigold, he did everything he could.
On the night he got Thousand Marigold, Xie Bao did not hesitate to betray his lust and walked into the most famous romantic place in Wangxian City - Tianxiang Tower!
There are a large number of female nuns in Soochow Prefecture. Correspondingly, not only are the number of erotic places extremely high, they are also of extremely high quality. This is why Xie Bao wanted to come to Soochow Prefecture in the first place.
It was in Tianxiang Tower that Xie Bao made a small plan to promote thousands of marigolds.
Xie Bao didn't even deliberately promote it. He just stained some thousandmary on his green shirt, walked around Tianxiang Tower, and found the most famous courtesans in Tianxiang Tower, and sat for a while. , leaving a faint fragrance, then left quietly.
Wangxian City can become the largest city in Soochow Province, which naturally has its foundation.
There is a reason why Tianxiang Tower can become the number one romantic place in Wangxian City.
The girls in Tianxiang Tower can gain a foothold in Tianxiang Tower, and naturally they have their own skills - their keen sense of smell makes them aware of something.
However, they searched throughout Wangxian City and could not find the scent in their memories.
In desperation, some people came to the treasure house with the idea that they could escape the monk but not the temple. At this time, the treasure tower had quietly been renamed the Tibetan Incense Tower!
The one who gets there first will return home with a full load.
With the help of Qianmianxiang, this person became prosperous in Tianxiang Tower.
Gradually, one spreads to ten, and ten spreads to hundreds.
More and more women walked into Tianxiang Tower and asked for thousands of marigolds.
In the entire Tianxiang Tower, everyone is using thousandmary, but because of its magical power, the fragrance exuded by everyone is unique.
The name of Thousand Marigold spread throughout Wangxian City along with Tianxiang Tower.
Just as more and more female nuns entered the Incense Tower, intending to buy thousands of roses, they got news: Due to the raw materials, the demand for thousands of roses exceeds the supply.
In order to allow more female nuns from Soochow Prefecture to experience the charm of thousands of roses, the Tibetan Incense House has a limit of 100 copies of rosemary per day, and each person is limited to one purchase. Come early and get yours.
For a time, the front of Zangxiang Tower was crowded with people.
At first, it was just some female cultivators who mobilized troops for Thousand Marigold.
But gradually, more and more male cultivators got involved and came looking for the fragrance.
Heroes are short of breath, but children are long in love.
In this life, who doesn’t have a confidante?
The female cultivator asked for thousands of marigolds to please the male cultivator she fell in love with; the male cultivator asked for thousands of marigolds to please the female cultivator he loved.
The entire Wangxian City is immersed in the ever-changing aroma of thousands of marigolds...
Besides, the Thousand Marrya sold from the Tibetan Incense Tower is not expensive. A bottle of Thousand Marrya that can be used by one person for a year only costs 100,000 medium-grade spiritual stones.
This price can be called low.
But after leaving the Tibetan Incense Building, the value of a bottle of Thousand Marges was sold to an unbelievable level - the transaction price on the black market even reached 10,000,000 souls!
The name of Zangxiang Tower is unique for a time!
The fame of Zangxiang Tower has made the knowledgeable people in Soochow Prefecture quite worried.
Others just paid it back, with Baimei Mountain and Lingxiu Palace bearing the brunt.
What the two families fear most is that Zangxianglou will use the momentum of Thousand Marigold to expand aggressively and regain the lost shopping mall territory.
Fortunately, Zangxianglou did not do that.
Zangxianglou only sells thousands of roses from the beginning to the end.
There are no other branches of the Xiangfu Chamber of Commerce in Wangxian City or even Soochow Prefecture.
It seems that everything is the same as before!
Wangxian City is adjacent to the East China Sea.
To the east of Wangxian City, thousands of miles away in the sea, there is an island named Lingxiu.
Lingxiu Island, this is the residence of Lingxiu Palace, one of the four major forces in Soochow State.
On Lingxiu Island, in Lingxiu Palace.
Le Lingrou stood respectfully beside a young woman.
This female cultivator has a graceful figure, and her face is covered with a gauze, so she cannot be seen clearly, but her natural aura is enough to make people's hearts flutter.
What was even more astonishing was the powerful aura that this female cultivator exuded inadvertently.
A powerful person in the Heavenly Realm—the master of Lingxiu Palace—Zhong Lingxiu!
At this time, the clock's delicate and jade-like plain hands were holding a piece of snow-white feathers.
With just a flick of Zhong Lingxiu's finger, the feathers separated and formed a curtain of light. On the curtain of light, the appearance of the White-headed Man, the Lord of Baimei Mountain, appeared.
"Girl from the Zhong family! We haven't seen each other for a while, right?"
"Master Baishan! If you have something to say, you might as well speak up!"
"Haha! I just like girls with such a cheerful temperament!" After saying "haha" to himself, the white-headed man turned to ask: "Have you ever heard of the name Thousand Marigold?"
"Thousand Marigold is so famous that it's so famous in the fairy city that it's hard not to know!"
"Yes! Sister, don't you have other ideas? If you let Xie Laosan continue to do this, something will happen sooner or later!"
"What kind of advice does Master Baishan have? Is it possible to kill him?"
"this……"
"Don't worry! In this troubled year, Xiangfu Chamber of Commerce will not dare to go too far! As long as Zangxiang House only sells thousands of marigolds, with only a faint fragrance, what kind of trouble can it cause?"
"Ha! What the girl said is right! In fact, I am just worrying about it! My Baimei Mountain lineage is either a bird monster or a reckless man. No matter how mysterious Thousand Marigold is, it is not a big deal to me, Baimei Mountain. On the contrary This is your Lingxiu Palace, sister..."
"Now, Lord Baishan doesn't have to worry about it!"
"Okay! Sister, we will meet again later!"
After saying this, the spiritual light shattered and the light curtain dissipated.
"Hmph! Old fox!"
"Master! It really doesn't matter if you let Thousand Marigold spread." But it was Le Lingrou who expressed her inner uneasiness: "What if Xiangfu Chamber of Commerce has evil intentions..."
"It's just a faint fragrance, nothing worth mentioning!" Shaking her head, Zhong Lingxiu said to herself: "If you can't even resist such foreign objects, how can you learn the supreme Dharma?"
"This...Lingrou knows she's wrong!"
"Thousand Marie, it's just a detail, the real disaster is coming! Although I, Lingxiu Palace, don't want to get involved in the storm of the Five States in the World and the Three Gods of the East China Sea, Lingxiu Island is here, and I can't leave even if I want to. The trees want to be quiet but the wind doesn’t stop!”
"Master!"
"Please step back! I need to think carefully about this as a teacher!"
"yes!"
Le Lingrou took the order and left. Zhong Lingxiu was alone in the huge palace.
Vaguely, a hint of faint laughter spread...
After three consecutive months, the popularity of Thousand Marigold slowed down slightly, but it was still hard to find. From time to time, there would be a long queue in front of the Xiang Xiang Tower.
Not that no one has tried to decipher Thousand Marigold's secrets, but to no avail.
It is precisely because of this that the reputation of Thousand Marigold has become more and more popular.
In the end, there were even monks from other states who came from far away just for Thousand Marigold.
Because of the Qianmaryxiang incident, Zangxiang Tower finally occupied a place in Wangxian City, and Xiangfu Chamber of Commerce finally regained some face in Soochow Prefecture.
At this time, Xiao Mian retired after his success and became anonymous.
Just when the whole Wangxian City was fascinated by Thousand Marigold, Xiao Mian hid in a cultivation manor on the east side of Wangxian City near the sea, strategizing.
Although Wangxian City is the second largest city in the world, it only has three walls.
The south, west, and north sides are all covered with majestic city walls that reach into the clouds. Only the east side facing the East China Sea is empty, without a single brick or tile.
The entire Wangxian City seemed to be cut across by a knife, seemingly incomplete.
In fact, this was Wangxian City's deliberate move.
Wangxian City is located at the junction of Soochow Prefecture and Donghai. It can become the largest city in Soochow Prefecture because it brings together the rich products of Soochow Prefecture and Donghai.
On weekdays, almost every day, dozens or hundreds of large and small ships set sail from the coastal port of Wangxian City and enter the vast East China Sea to look for opportunities.
It is precisely for this reason that the east side of Wangxian City stretches for three thousand miles and is a coastal port.
Although the east side is adjacent to the East China Sea and seems defenseless, in fact, Wangxian City has never taken the defense of the East China Sea lightly.
With Wangxian City as the center of the circle, it radiates out to a radius of one hundred thousand miles, collectively called the Inner Sea.
Extending both internally and externally, Wangxian City has set up a semicircular "Separation of Heaven and Pure Sea Barrier". Within a radius of 10,000 miles close to Wangxian City, a Dinghai restriction has been added.
Therefore, when standing in Wangxian City and looking eastward, everything in sight is sunny and calm...
At this time, Xiao Mian was in a cultivation manor near the coast.
Xiao Mian has been staying behind closed doors since he decided on the Thousand Marigold plan.
This time Xiao Mian took the first step and went to Soochow Prefecture for another purpose.
The Thousand Marigold thing was just a matter of chance.
Xiao Mian's real purpose was to first explore the current situation in Soochow Prefecture and even the East China Sea, so as to prepare a head start for the upcoming South Vietnamese Army.
Originally, Xiao Mian wanted to do this through the branch of the Xiangfu Chamber of Commerce in Wangxian City, but Xie Bao couldn't protect himself, so Xiao Mian had no choice but to do it himself.
Besides, the Xiangfu Chamber of Commerce is struggling in Soochow Prefecture, and its success attracts attention.
If one person is not good, others will follow the clues and start to alert the snake.
These days, Xiao Mian had nothing to do, so he took a leisurely stroll in Linhai Port.
Gradually, he found some ways to go to sea.
Regardless of whether a ship is large or small, if it wants to go to sea, it not only needs the protection of high-level monks, but also needs a knowledgeable guide - both are indispensable!
Simply because the scope of the East China Sea is too large.
The so-called 100,000-mile inland sea is just a drop in the bucket to the East China Sea.
Although the inland sea is relatively safe, the available products are also relatively scarce. If you want to harvest a good harvest, sea-going ships must sail out of the inland sea and go to the open sea.
Once entering the open sea, opportunities and risks rise sharply.
Once a sea-going ship enters the open sea, all man-made facilities will lose their function.
It's like the huge East China Sea is covered with a layer of mysterious energy.
Even the monk's own sense of direction will be greatly reduced, and the convenience brought by the expansion of spiritual consciousness will be useless in the vast East China Sea.
For this reason, every sea ship will be equipped with a fixed guide.
No one is allowed to go to sea without a guide!
Xiao Mian's target is those guides.
In the past few months, Xiao Mian had come into contact with many guides intentionally or unintentionally.
Most of these guides are low-level monks, and there are occasionally some Jindan monks who are only at the beginning of the Jindan level, but they are already considered to be extremely advanced.
Facing these low-level monks, Xiao Mian was naturally able to capture them.
Without knowing it, Xiao Mian planted formless inner demons in these guides - these formless inner demons do not harm people, but only serve as records.
In just three months, Xiao Mian unleashed nearly a thousand formless inner demons.
This means: nearly a thousand ships going to sea have become Xiao Mian's spies.
Evenly divided, ten sea-going ships go to sea every day under Xiao Mian's supervision. Because of this, most of these sea-going ships sail in deliberately different directions.
In this way, Xiao Mian's eyes spread all over the East China Sea.
Starting from Wangxian City, it took more than a month to sail out of the inland sea and reach the outer sea.
As expected, the gains from the Inland Sea were not much from the messages sent back by the formless inner demon.
After entering the open sea, the ships went in all directions, going their own way.
Some of them made great gains very quickly, while others never made any gains at all.
You rely on the mountains to eat the mountains, and you rely on the sea to eat the sea. To put it bluntly, you rely on the sky to eat.
But soon, something happened to a sea ship!
The formless inner demon that Xiao Mian planted in a certain guide was suddenly shattered.
This means that the guide had an accident.
This also means that something happened to that ship.
Because of the importance of guides to sea-going ships, they have always been the focus of protection on sea-going ships. Unless they suffer a disaster, guides generally will not get into trouble.
However, this seems to be just a signal...
One after another, more and more formless inner demons are being destroyed.
In one day, nine formless inner demons disappeared.
Every day after that, a varying number of formless inner demons will be destroyed.
At first, Xiao Mian thought that this was the normal damage rate of a sea-going ship going to sea, but after a little inquiry, Xiao Mian knew: sea-going ships would not have such high casualties when going to sea!
If it was really a narrow escape, who would dare to go to the East China Sea to seek a living?
Day after day, the inner demon of Wuxiang continued to be shattered, and Xiao Mian's mood continued to become heavy.
If those sea-going ships that kept setting off from coastal ports knew that their forerunners had suffered an accident, would they still be so impassioned?
On this day, Xiao Mian came to Linhai Port again.
After much thought, Xiao Mian only chose an old man with white hair to plant the formless inner demon.
But when Xiao Mian was about to leave, his eyes focused and his mind moved.
In the distance, a stream of blue and purple light was seen coming at lightning speed.
The stream of light rushed in front of him and transformed into a monk in blue shirt. He boarded the ship without even looking at the guide or Xiao Mian who was huddled in the guide's back.
It's him?
With his status, there must be another mystery behind going to sea!
Xiao Mian just thought this, his eyebrows furrowed slightly as his mind moved.
Another burst of light struck, and as it approached, the sword energy was fierce.
Seeing the strong man also boarding the ship, the look on Xiao Mian's face was as weird as possible - why was he involved in it?
Before Xiao Mian could figure it out, a gust of fragrant wind passed by, and a masked young female cultivator appeared in front of the ship. She turned into a gust of fragrant wind and disappeared on the ship.
Seeing this, Xiao Mian rolled his eyes and sighed softly.
"Master! It's getting late! Disciple, please help you get on the boat!"
While speaking, Xiao Mian supported the white-haired guide and headed towards the ship.
Under the control of the phaseless inner demon, that guide who was only in the foundation-building stage didn't let Xiao Mian drive him? Like a puppet on a string, the guide took Xiao Mian aboard the ship. During this period, no one had any doubts about Xiao Mian's identity.
In this way, Xiao Mian, who was just exploring the direction of the wind, personally set foot on the ship going out to sea...
