C715 Causing a Disaster on the Wall
Shen Qu smiled and said: "The next town we're going to is called Upper Dai Town. The distance is too far. There are still at least four to five hours of travel to this place. It's already late, so why don't the county governor set up camp here with us? We'll leave at dawn tomorrow. It'll be more convenient for us to travel. "
When he heard this, nangong Xin also looked at the night sky that was about to sink.
He was unwilling to be stationed with the Hu merchant group, but it was inconvenient to travel in the dark.
Right now, it was just that the terrain here was more open, and it was suitable to set up camp.
Nangong Xin thought for a moment, then said with a faint smile, "That's good too. Tonight, we will set up camp here. We will continue our journey tomorrow."
Night slowly descended.
The black-clothed armored soldiers were setting up camp, while Nangong Xin was chatting with Shen Qu.
Taking advantage of this empty space, Su Ming, on the other hand, started chatting with Situ Zhong.
Su Ming asked in a low voice, "Brother Situ just said that an immortal has appeared in this Hu merchant group. Can you tell me in detail?"
Situ Zhong smiled coldly and said slowly, "There's nothing much to say. Brother Su, you already know about this Skysplit Tower smelting trial. In the last five years of Skysplit Tower's smelting trial, the eldest son of their Hu caravan's current Patriarch, hu Tianqing, just passed. "
When Su Ming heard this, he couldn't help but laugh. "Although the quota for this Skysplit Tower's smelting trial is limited, it is only held once every five years. Even if there are very few people who pass, there should be many people who have succeeded over the years. If the Hu family can pass one person, then what is so special about it?"
Situ Zhong shook his head and said, "Sir, you might not know this. Although the Skysplit Tower trial is a way to become an immortal, in the sects of the immortals in the Upper Realm, there are also grades and grades of people who pass the trial!"
"Over the years, the vast majority of people who pass the Skysplit Tower's smelting trial can only become service disciples. Although they have immortal karma, they are still far from being able to truly cultivate and become an immortal. Only a few people are able to obtain the qualifications to become official disciples, but after all these years, there hasn't been much progress."
Su Ming said, "Then what is the difference between Hu Tianqing?"
Situ Zhong said. "Sigh, this kid's life is good. According to the rumors in the market, he has a high-grade spiritual root. It seems that he was taken in as a personal disciple by a great figure in the Upper Realm's immortal sects. This was originally a great thing for our South Huai Nation, but it just so happens that he is a member of the Hu Merchant Group! "
A high-grade spiritual root!
Su Ming's heart shrank slightly. Although he had not obtained all of the inheritance, * Hong Long...... * Su Ming's heart slightly shrank. Although he hadn't obtained all of the inheritance, he had gained a lot of understanding regarding the matters of the Immortal World.
The high-grade spiritual root that Situ Zhong spoke of was known as a mortal's innate talent in cultivation in the cultivation world.
It could be divided into the five elements of metal, wood, water, fire and earth. It was also divided into five grades: low, middle, high, and supreme.
Each of them represented the natural endowment one possessed in this line of work.
Those who possessed top grade and high grade spiritual roots would naturally be able to cultivate much faster than those who had low, low, and abandoned spiritual roots.
Generally speaking, a person could only possess one or two spiritual roots. However, there was also a small number of people who possessed three spiritual roots, four spiritual roots, or full spiritual roots.
However, according to the description of the Myriad Cloud, this so-called high spiritual roots did not have much use. At a certain level, the path of cultivation was much more important than spiritual roots.
The so-called spiritual root was only of little value in the early stages of cultivation.
Su Ming asked, "So what if it's the Hu merchant group? According to what I know, this Hu merchant group is also a merchant group from South Huai Nation!"
Situ Zhong sighed and said, "Mister, there's something you don't know. This Hu merchant group can only be said to have originated from our South Huai Nation's merchant group. But if you want to say that it's our South Huai Nation's merchant group, then you're gravely mistaken."
Su Ming frowned and said, "What do you mean?"
Situ Zhong slowly said, "Mister, there is something you do not know. Although this Hu merchant group originated from South Huai Nation, But they have been operating in South Huai Nation for a long time, and their business has long spread across several countries. Moreover, in recent years, this Hu merchant group has been active in the wilderness. They already had the intention of disloyal, and now in South Huai Nation... The biggest enemy is no longer any other country, but the Hu merchant group within."
When Su Ming heard this, he frowned slightly.
According to Situ Zhong's words, the Hu Merchant Group's influence had already reached the heavens. Such a powerful civilian financial group was definitely the greatest threat to the sovereign power.
This was also not difficult to explain why Nangong Xin had such an attitude towards Shen Qu.
As the two were talking, there was a sudden commotion behind them.
The two of them looked back. They saw a purple-clothed youth walk out from the Hu caravan's tent, slowly walking towards Nangong Xin and Shen Qu.
Seeing the appearance of this purple-clothed youth, shen Qu introduced him to Nangong Xin: "Your Highness, this is our Hu merchant group's Third Young Master, hu Zhiwei."
The violet-clothed youth bowed slightly to Nangong Xin and said, "Hu Zhiwei greets Your Highness."
Hu Zhiwei's words could be considered respectful, but in his eyes, Su Ming could see a trace of arrogance.
Obviously, hu Ziwei did not respect Nangong Xin in his heart.
Nangong Xin waved his hand and said with a smile, "No need to be so polite. Young Master Hu has a dignified appearance, he really has another style."
A trace of complacency flashed across Hu Zhiwei's face as he said, "Your Highness, you flatter me. Compared to my big brother Hu Zhiping, I'm still far from being able to compare."
The big brother Hu Ziwei spoke of was the one who had passed the Skysplit Tower smelting trial five years ago.
When Nangong Xin heard this, a trace of displeasure flashed across his face, but he quickly suppressed it.
In the distance, Su Ming shook his head and looked at Hu Zhiwei with a look of contempt.
No matter what Hu Zhiping did, hu Yiwei would not be able to accomplish anything great.
This person's temperament had already decided his height.
At this time, hu Yiwei also noticed Su Ming.
Strictly speaking, he noticed Situ Zhong who was beside Su Ming.
"Oh, lord Situ, long time no see!" Hu Yiwei said with a smile.
But Situ Zhong's expression was not very good.
"It has been a long time." Situ Zhong said coldly.
Su Ming's eyes moved, but he could clearly hear a hint of gunpowder in their conversation.
It seemed like there had been a conflict between these two!
At this time, nangong Xin's camp was almost ready by the black armored soldiers.
A group of black armored soldiers carried Wang Baichuan out of the carriage behind the convoy.
Ever since he fought with Su Ming yesterday, wang Baichuan had been in a coma.
Su Ming naturally had a way to wake him up immediately, but he deliberately wanted to make Wang Baichuan suffer, so he naturally wouldn't care about him.
Nangong was also clear in his confidence that since Wang Baichuan's life wasn't in danger, he wouldn't say anything else.
However, when Hu Zhiwei and Shen Qu saw this scene, they were greatly shocked.
"The one who carried it over just now was the commander, lord Wang Baichuan!!"
