Chapter 1721  Inspecting South Vietnam

Let’s talk about Xiao Mian. After leaving the Xuanwei Cave Secret Realm, he appeared directly in Wanzong City.

Because of the convenience of the teleportation array, Xiao Mian arrived one step ahead of the Earth-level Treasure Ship. When he looked up, he saw the Earth-level Treasure Ship slowly entering Wanzong City.

According to the plan, after dropping off Bai Qiye, Xiao Baitao and others, the Earth-level Treasure Ship will continue to sail to Tianlu Valley, which will be considered as completing the mission.

Bai Qiye, Xiao Baitao, Fan Jian and others got off the Earth-level Treasure Ship one after another. In the end, even Jin William, who originally belonged to the Xiangfu Chamber of Commerce, also got off.

On the contrary, Xiao Mian boarded the Earth-level Treasure Ship on his own and headed for Tianlu Valley.

With Xiao Mian’s means, it’s not a thought to go to Tianlu Valley?

But since there is a favorable boat, Xiao Mian naturally doesn’t mind taking a ride...

Taking the Earth-level Treasure Ship, Xiao Mian successfully entered Tianlu Valley and met Xie Long, the ancestor of the Xie family, who is also the new external venerable of the Xiangfu Chamber of Commerce.

In the battle that year, Shancai Tongzun died and Xiangfu Chamber of Commerce suffered heavy losses.

Only Xie Long was saved by Shancai Tongzun, in order to take charge of the overall situation in Tianlu Valley, deter the situation, and escort Xie Lingfeng and others.

For the past sixty years, Xie Long has been trapped in Tianlu Valley, and it can be said that he is living a life worse than death.

When he first saw Xiao Mian, Xie Long bowed and called him "Young Master".

Shancai Tongzun had already told Xie Long about Xiao Mian's true identity.

As for Xiao Mian, seeing Xie Long's silver hair and vicissitudes of life, he was slightly stunned. Logically speaking, the Yuanying ancestor should not be so old.

Xie Long is old because his heart is old...

"Senior Xie, no need to be polite!" Holding Xie Long, Xiao Mian said in a friendly voice: "All these years, thanks to Senior Xie for guarding Tianlu Valley!"

"I am ashamed! I can't go to hell with you!"

"Death has its glory, life has its greatness! Senior Xie! If Tianlu Valley didn't have you in charge, Xiangfu Chamber of Commerce would have been dead in name only!"

Xiao Mian's words were not false.

The elders' meeting mechanism of Xiangfu Chamber of Commerce was criticized by people. If it weren't for Xie Long's dominance, wouldn't the elders' meeting be making trouble all day long?

There has been no waves for sixty years, all thanks to Xie Long's suppression.

"Young Master, is there anything I can do for you?"

"Yes!" Pulling Xie Long to sit down, Xiao Mian asked for advice: "Excuse me, Senior: Can you teach me the Elders' Council's deliberation system?"

"This..., why are you asking about these old rules?"

"Learn it! Maybe it will be useful in the future!"

"This system is not easy to use! Young Master, you also know: there are as many as thirteen elders in the Council. Each of them has a veto power, and many things are just a matter of wrangling!"

"But it is undeniable: this system can prevent one party from dominating!"

"That's true! "

"Senior! Xiangfu Chamber of Commerce has been established for nearly 10,000 years and has been using this system. This shows that the Elders' Council's system of deliberation must have its unique features. That's why I came to Tianlu Valley specifically to ask the Elders' Council's detailed terms of the system of deliberation in person!"

"Young Master, you are not just curious, are you?"

"Of course! If it is appropriate, I plan to promote the deliberation system in South Vietnam!"

"Promote? This... can Ren Tianzun agree?"

Ren Tianzun, the unique Tianzun strongman in the South Vietnam cultivation world, the nominal number one in South Vietnam, single-handedly controls the right to speak in South Vietnam.

Of course, that was before Xiao Mian returned.

But even after Xiao Mian returned, Ren Tianzun's words were still the final word.

If the deliberation system is promoted in South Vietnam, the one who will be most affected is Ren Tianzun.

Just like Shancai Tongzun on that day, for Xiangfu Chamber of Commerce, it is more of a symbol and a protection, but it has lost its actual authority.

"Ren Tianzun, the world is for all, there will be no objection!" Shaking his head, Xiao Mian changed the subject: "Even if he objects, it will be useless!"

"This... Good! I will tell the young master about the deliberation system!"

At that moment, Xie Long listed the detailed rules of the elders' deliberation system in detail and told Xiao Mian one by one. Xiao Mian listened and memorized it in his heart.

After Xie Long finished speaking, Xiao Mian had an extra jade slip in his hand.

The jade slip recorded the details of the elders' deliberation system.

"Huh! I didn't expect that a small elders' deliberation system would have so many twists and turns? If used well, it is amazingly efficient; if used poorly, it is inefficient!"

"Not bad! The young master is wise and saw through the mystery at a glance."

The so-called elders' deliberation system, under the guise of democracy, hides naked power struggles and intrigues, and there is no lack of conspiracy and trickery.

However, the elders' deliberation system can prevent one-man rule and family rule.

If it is done well, it can indeed achieve the interests of the broadest group.

"Young Master! Do you really plan to implement the deliberative system in South Vietnam?"

"I have this idea!"

"Please forgive me for being so nosy: Will this move of yours be self-defeating?"

"Oh? Why do you say that, senior?"

"Young Master! Although you have not yet achieved the status of Heavenly Venerable, everyone knows that you are already a powerful Heavenly Venerable. Even Ren Tianzun has to act according to your mood in some matters. If you are the Lord of South Vietnam, you must be the one that everyone supports. Even if Ren Tianzun is not happy, he dare not say anything. But if this deliberative system is implemented, not only Ren Tianzun will be affected, but you will also be affected!"

"What do you think, senior? Become the Lord of South Vietnam?"

"This..."

"Even if I am invincible, so what? What I want is not the gains and losses of one person or one place, but the prosperity of this world - I want to make more people powerful!"

"Young Master's mind is indeed extraordinary!" Standing up and bowing, Xie Longyan said: "The Venerable once said: Young Master is not interested in fame and fortune! I am still a little confused, it seems that the Venerable has a keen eye for people and foresight."

"Venerable, you are a rare and elegant elder I have ever seen in my life! It's a pity... and I apologize for the loss suffered by Xiangfu Chamber of Commerce!"

"What are you talking about? The entire Xiangfu Chamber of Commerce is yours. Even if there is a loss, it is your loss..."

"But there are some people I can't afford to lose!"

"..., don't blame Ying'er! You should know the relationship between him and Xia'er! If it weren't for Luan'er, Ying'er would be afraid He has gone with Xiaer!"

"How can I blame him? To be honest: Sometimes, I hate myself!" When saying this, Xiao Mian thought of Xuancao and sighed: "There are some things that you can do, but you can't do; there are some things that you don't want to do, but you have to do them - Senior! You are also in a superior position, you understand, right?"

"Of course! If you don't sit in this position, you will never know that you are helpless!"

"Alas! Let's not talk about this! I have another thing to do here. Please help me find some good seedlings in Tianlu Valley. I want to train them uniformly!"

"Of course, no problem!"

After the matter was settled, Xiao Mian said goodbye and left.

Before leaving, Xiao Mian gave Xie Long three things.

A bottle of immortal water is for Xie Long's personal longevity. With the help of this immortal water, Xie Long should be able to live for decades.

I just hope that in the next few decades, Xie Lingfeng can become even stronger...

A ball of Hunyuan Jinye has been diluted by Xiao Mian, and left for Xie Long to reward to the outstanding talents and pure character in Xiangfu Chamber of Commerce.

I hope to create more rising talents for Xiangfu Chamber of Commerce.

Finally, there is a portion of True Dragon Spirit Blood!

Xiao Mian clearly stated that this item was left for Jin Ling Chi.

Xie Long naturally knew about Jin Ling Chi's situation. After being enlightened by Xiao Mian, he rushed all the way and even won the first place in the foundation building at the Nanyue Sword Fighting Conference.

A few days ago, Jin Ling Chi successfully formed a pill, and his practice momentum was brave and advanced.

Given time, this kid may really be able to find a smooth road.

After leaving Tianlu Valley, Xiao Mian went all the way west and headed straight to Luohua Valley - according to the news Xiao Mian got, the group of Zhenkong Dao were stranded here.

To be honest, Luohua Valley was once a Feng Shui treasure land, and it was also well-known in Nanyue Province, but it was not as good as Sikong Mountain in Huaxia.

However, the Zhenkong Dao is now in a state of decline, so how can we dare to blame it?

On the contrary, Xiao Mian was quite embarrassed when he saw the desolate scene of Luohua Valley.

When he met Li Jingnian, Xiao Mian got straight to the point.

"Brother Li! Luohua Valley has thin spiritual energy, which is not conducive to establishing a sect!"

"Brother Xiao! This... do you want Zhenkong Dao to move to another place?" During the words, Li Jingnian's face was uncertain, and he thought Xiao Mian was going to drive him away. Xiao Mian laughed in silence: "Brother Li, don't worry! I don't mean to drive you away! This Luohua Valley is indeed not worthy of the huge Zhenkong Dao! Brother Li, have you ever gone to other places to have a look?"

"This..., ah! To be honest, Brother Xiao! Although Nanyue is big, our Zhenkong Dao is an outsider after all, how can we take over the host?"

"Brother Li, you are being too formal! Let's not talk about Huaxia Territory and Nanyue Province, just talking about the relationship between Senior Jiujianxian and my grandfather, that is, brothers! But it seems that there is really no fairy mountain and blessed land in Nanyue that can match Zhenkong Dao! So, when I come back from the East China Sea in the future, I will bring a fairy mountain back to Brother Li, okay?"

"This..., overseas Xianshan, can you still pack it up?"

"If Brother Li wants, of course you can!"

"Okay! Jingnian thanks Brother Xiao for his kindness first!" Li Jingnian bowed and stood up, saying in a friendly voice: "Brother Xiao, are you still going to the East China Sea?"

"Yes! There are some things to deal with!"

"Brother Xiao! Since Nanyuezhou has taken in Zhenkongdao, Zhenkongdao must be a part of Nanyuezhou. If there is anything, please speak up!"

"Ha! Brother Li's words touched my heart! Brother Li, don't worry, there will be something in the future, even if you don't want to help! But not now! The most urgent task is that Brother Li and Zhenkongdao need to be as soon as possible. Improve your strength!"

"In Brother Xiao's opinion, how long will it take?"

"About a decade!"

"Okay! Jingnian knows what to do!"

"I came here for another thing! Zhenkong Dao was once a sub-saint of the third realm, so there should be many good seedlings in the sect, right? I want Brother Li to select some promising talents, gather them together, and train them uniformly so that they can sharpen each other and become talents as soon as possible."

"With such a good thing, Brother Xiao can still remember my Zhenkong Dao, Jingnian thanks you!"

"What are you talking about, Brother Li? If Zhenkong Dao is strong, then Nanyuezhou will be strong!" Patting Li Jingnian's shoulder, Xiao Mian smiled and said, "Brother Li has a good son!"

"Xiao Brother, are you talking about Xingyan? What? Have you met him?"

"Xingyan is a good kid, he is loyal and honest, and has the family tradition of Brother Li. His skills in the vacuum technique are also superb, even better than Brother Li!"

"It is a blessing for this kid to be in Brother Xiao's eyes! Please help me train this kid!" As he said that, Li Jingnian came to Xiao Mian and whispered, "To be honest with you, Brother Xiao: If I want to train him, his mother will fight me to death!"

"Oh? My sister-in-law is so powerful? Then Xiao will have to think about it..."

"Every family has its own problems! I'm sorry to make you laugh, Brother Xiao!"

The two laughed and talked, and both the host and the guest were happy.

Xiao Mian also left a portion of Hunyuan Jinye and said goodbye.

The next stop is Xiao Mian's own sect - the Five Elements Sect!

As the saying goes, the closer you get to home, the more you feel timid. Walking on the mountain road leading to the Five Elements Gate, Xiao Mian was worried, and he didn't know what the Five Elements Gate was like now.

With a thought, Xiao Mian quietly sneaked into the Five Elements Gate.

The next moment, Xiao Mian's face changed slightly...

Turning his head, he saw a flame and a wind shadow fighting.

Hey!

It's reasonable for her to be here, but why is he here?

With this thought, Xiao Mian turned into an invisible body and quietly lurked over.

The flame and wind shadow in the air fought fiercely, but neither could do anything to the other. The flame and wind shadow retreated slightly, revealing their respective figures.

The flame was the boy transformed by the fire beast Qingjing.

The wind shadow was the white-clothed girl transformed by the white phoenix.

"Hmph! You rat! You come to my Changchun Peak to set fire again?"

"Bah! You birdman! I, Qingjing, am a guest elder of Yanzhu Peak, what's wrong with going to your Changchun Peak? What's wrong?"

"What's wrong? I, Baihuang, am still a guest elder of Changchun Peak! As a guest elder of Changchun Peak, I will: you are not allowed to come to my Changchun Peak again in the future!"

"You! Then I will not allow you to come to my Yanzhu Peak again in the future!"

"If you don't want to go, then don't go! Who wants to go?"

"I..." Qingjing rolled her eyes and changed the subject: "You don't have to go to Yanzhu Peak, but I still want to come to Changchun Peak!"

"You! Aren't you cheating?"

"I am cheating! What can you do to me?"

"Hmph! You're asking for a fight!"

While shouting coldly, Baihuang turned into a white light and disappeared on the spot.

The next moment, the white light suddenly appeared near Qingjing, and with a roll, it wrapped Qingjing up, and then shone together.

Qing Jing was killed by the white light and was covered with wounds...

When the white light condensed, Qing Jing, covered in blood, fell from the sky.

Transforming into a girl in white again, Bai Huang was shocked and rushed down to hug Qing Jing, but suddenly realized that something was wrong with Qing Jing in his arms.

"Hahaha! Fun! Really fun..."

A reckless laugh spread from the sky.

Bai Huang looked up and saw Qing Jing standing there intact - in Qing Jing's hand, there was a golden hair floating in the wind.

This hair was given to Qing Jing by the Ten Thousand Demons Emperor.

Qing Jing also had some opportunities. With a little Buddha's light, she realized a supreme magical power from this hair - escaping from the shell!

This hair has no attack power at all, but it can instantly produce a substitute to take all attacks on behalf of Qing Jing.

At the same time, Qing Jing can escape.

Even though Bai Huang had divine consciousness, he could not tell the authenticity of this hair substitute.

It was not until he hugged the substitute in a hurry that he realized that he was fooled by Qing Jing again.

Besides, the white light that Bai Huang displayed was also a supreme magical power.

In the West Wilderness Demon Realm, when the feather competition was held, Bai Huang won by chance, and the Queen Mother of the West gave Bai Huang a Honghu Demon Feather as a reward.

Honghu Demon Feather contains a trace of the breath of the sky phoenix, and is regarded as a treasure by Bai Huang.

Bai Huang not only refined the Honghu Demon Feather into a natal flying sword - Honghu Feather Sword, but also comprehended an attacking magical power, the White Feather Light Killing Technique!

The White Feather Light Killing Technique is as fast as light and hard to defend against.

But he didn't expect that he was defeated by Qing Jing's little tricks...

Suddenly raising his head, Bai Huang stared at Qing Jing without saying a word.

"Haha! You've been tricked by me this time, right? Are you convinced?"

"..."

"Why are you silent? You've lost the bet! You can't afford to play with me?"

"..."

"Bai Huang! We agreed! You can't go to the senior sister to complain!"

"..., I hate you! You bastard!"

"Huh?"

Qing Jing was stunned, and Bai Huang turned into a white light and disappeared.

"Hate me? Tsk! I don't like you! What's the big deal! Isn't it just that you look a little cute? She won't be really angry, right?"

"I think, maybe she is really angry!"

As he spoke, Xiao Mian showed up.

"Boss! You finally remembered to come and see me?" With a scream, Qing Jing turned into a flame, turned back into the original form of the fire beast, and jumped onto Xiao Mian's shoulder and refused to get down. After a moment of intimacy between the man and the beast, Xiao Mian asked, "What's going on between you and Bai Huang? Do you fight every other day? Doesn't the senior sister care about you?"

"Aren't you hiding this from the senior sister?"

"Why? Do you like Bai Huang?"

"No! What nonsense are you talking about, Boss?" Suddenly startled, Qing Jing left Xiao Mian's shoulder, turned into a boy, and said to himself, "How could I like that crazy girl? She hits people when she doesn't agree with me. She's so fierce! No! No!"

"Then why do you provoke her?"

"I..."

"Do you know why Bai Huang was angry just now?"

"Why are you angry? Isn't it because you lost to me?"

"Wrong!" He pointed his finger at Qingjing's forehead. Xiao Mian shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Qingjing, Qingjing! You are much older than her, right? Let me ask you: if Baihuang was seriously injured by you in the fight, how would you feel?"

"..., she is so strong, how could she be injured?"

"Baihuang thought so too! That's why she went all out just now. When she saw that you didn't dodge and were seriously injured, she was so distraught. But she didn't expect..."

She didn't expect that she was fooled by Qingjing with a hair!

"This..., Boss! Do you think it's too late for me to beg for mercy now?"

"Hey? A super-class monster, Qing Jing, is going to beg for mercy?"

"Boss! Please stop talking bad about me! Please save me!"

"If you don't like me, take this opportunity to end it all!"

"But... it will make Bai Huang sad, isn't that a bad thing?"

"If you like me, take this opportunity to move forward!"

"How do we go?"

"Come closer and I'll teach you! This way, this way..."

After a long time, Xiao Mian stopped talking, and Qing Jing's face changed several times.

"Boss! Are you sure you didn't lie to me? If this goes wrong, not to mention that Bai Huang can kill me, I won't be able to stay in the Five Elements Sect anymore!"

"Why would I lie to you?" Xiao Mian rolled his eyes and continued, "Besides, if you can't stay in the Five Elements Sect, just follow me to Wanzong City! I'll protect you!"

"...Boss, why don't you just forget it?"

"Think it over: If you give up today, you'll let it go for the rest of your life!"

"I... Damn it! I did it!"

At that moment, under the leadership of Xiao Mian, Qing Jing followed Xiao Mian and headed towards Bibotan - Huangfu Ling, the great elder of the Five Elements Sect, was practicing in Bibotan.
