…

"Fellow Daoist Wu, Fang goes back to the room first."

The purple-faced brawny man's heart trembled, his calves felt weak, he forced himself to calm down and returned to the adjacent guest room.

The frightened monk is not just a purple-faced brawny man.

The dozens of Liang monks who boarded the ship were essentially stowaways, and the identities of many of them were kept secret.

An hour later.

For the Liang Guo monks on the spiritual ship, it was a kind of torture.

The only good news is.

This team of sect monks did not check too carefully. They entered every room and only asked a few simple questions.

Many of the guest rooms on the spiritual ship are monks from the Jing Kingdom Chamber of Commerce.

The monks from Liang Kingdom only occupied part of it.

Not long after.

Two sect monks entered Lu Changan's room with wary expressions.

"What is your name?"

"I'm Wu Fan."

"Why are you going to Jing Country?"

"Wu is a traveling merchant who travels between the two countries and does some small business."

Lu Changan said with a normal expression.

Strictly speaking, casual cultivators are not subject to the control of the sect.

The two monks looked at Lu Changan for a few times, found nothing unusual, and left the room.

This group of sect monks did not go to the superior guest rooms to investigate.

Two of the foundation-building monks had just approached the "Prince's" guest room. They seemed to have received some instructions from a voice transmission, and they suddenly bowed and retreated.

An hour later.

This team of sect monks has completed their inspection.

A total of seven fugitives and suspicious persons were arrested. One of the monks disobeyed and was killed on the spot.

The Jiuchen Chamber of Commerce not only did not stop it, but also assisted in the arrest and maintained order.

Of the seven monks who suffered the disaster, two were from the guest room and five were from the bilge.

call!

The purple-faced brawny man in the adjacent room, with cold sweat dripping down his back, took a long breath and watched the sect's patrolling monks go away.

Lu Changan came to visit and asked about the situation, but the purple-faced man was vague.

In fact, Lu Changan's spiritual consciousness discovered the truth.

The purple-faced brawny man had injuries on his body, and he had a strong evil aura, which made him suspicious and attracted two monks from the sect to explore and interrogate him.

At the critical moment, the purple-faced brawny man bribed the patrolling monks, donated a large amount of property, and escaped.

"The guest rooms on the spirit ship are private spaces and are restricted and isolated. Only in this way can there be room for private bribery and negotiation..."

Lu Changan secretly said.

Half of the monks who boarded the ship were in the cargo hold below, and the other half were in the guest rooms.

Five people were arrested in the former, while only two were arrested in the latter.

In the cargo hold, in full view of everyone, there is no way to openly bribe.

Once you become a key suspect, you will be arrested and taken away, leaving little room for maneuver.

Furthermore, the monks of the sect will also watch the dishes being served.

The monks who live in guest rooms have stronger financial resources. If some tough opponents fight hard and have talisman-type trump cards in their hands, they will also face the risk of backlash.

Of course, staying in a guest room does not mean that you are safe and sound, but it just gives you more opportunities to control your destiny.

Not every patrolling monk is easy to talk to or easy to bribe.

Lu Changan even suspected that each trip might have certain mission indicators.

…

The monks of the Jiuchen Chamber of Commerce were accustomed to the inspections of the sect monks, as if it was just a small episode and they didn't pay much attention to it.

But then two days later.

Many monks living in the cargo hold have negotiated with the Jiuchen Chamber of Commerce, hoping to spend spiritual stones to move to guest rooms.

Obviously, staying in a guest room is more secure, and smuggling to Jing Country has a greater chance of survival.

"What! It takes six thousand spiritual stones to stay in the guest room? Before, it was three thousand spiritual stones."

The Liang Guo monks who went to negotiate felt chilled.

The price of the room has doubled!

"To tell you the truth, the guest rooms are almost full."

"The price increase is actually a fair screening for you."

The manager of the Jiuchen Chamber of Commerce is very casual.

Most of the monks in the cargo hold were in a tight situation. After spending a lot of money to board the ship, their spiritual stones were basically drained.

In the end, there were only a few monks who could afford six thousand spiritual stones to upgrade.

You know, a top-quality magic weapon only costs two thousand spiritual stones.

During the foundation building period, there were few monks with Lu Changan's worth in the entire Liang Kingdom.

Then half a month.

The Jiuchen Chamber of Commerce’s spiritual ship is safe and sound.

After that, no monks from the sect came to inspect it; the pirate cultivators on the road did not dare to take advantage of this spiritual ship.

During this half month, the fate of many monks from the Liang Kingdom who boarded the ship changed.

Especially the monks in the bottom cabin.

Some craftsmen, in order to obtain safety guarantees, signed a renunciation contract with a monk from a certain chamber of commerce on the spiritual ship.

For example, if you work for a certain chamber of commerce for twenty years and become a member of the chamber of commerce, you will gain a legal status and be guaranteed to arrive in Jing Country safely.

There are also female nuns in the bottom cabin who, in order to collect spiritual stones, stay in guest rooms and sell their bodies on the spiritual ship.

The foundation-building female cultivator, placed in a small place in the Liang Kingdom, could be called a high-ranking fairy, or even the ancestor of a clan.

Now he has put down his noble figure and prostrates himself at the knees of others.

Lu Changan's door was also knocked by such a female cultivator.

"The journey to move to another country is difficult, like a lamb being slaughtered. This road is really not suitable for ordinary monks..."

Lu Changan sighed in his heart.

Compare that to the struggles of the monks in the bilge.

The prince on the third floor of the Spirit Ship lived a peaceful life of singing and dancing, and even had a beautiful maid to serve him when he was in a foreign country.

Lu Changan was also curious about who this prince was, who could make the sect inspect the monks and not dare to come in for inspection.

He once wanted to use his spiritual consciousness to explore its true appearance, but finally held back.

If there is any special treasure on the opponent's body that can be detected by induction, it would be purely an extraneous issue.

…

This day.

A trade fair was held in the auditorium on the second floor of Lingjian.

All monks who live in guest rooms are eligible to participate.

The monks from the Liang Kingdom only account for a small part. Most of them are monks from the major chambers of commerce in the Jing Kingdom Commercial Alliance.

Nowadays, the spirit ship is far away from the immortal world of Liang Kingdom, so there is no need to worry about the inspections of the sect monks.

Lu Changan and the purple-faced brawny man named Fang attended the trade fair together.

After that bribery, the purple-faced brawny man actually didn't have many spiritual stones left on his body.

He came to the trade fair mainly to get acquainted with the monks from the Jing Kingdom Chamber of Commerce, or to establish good relations with the powerful monks from the Liang Kingdom.

The auditorium is quite large, with dozens of wooden square tables placed there.

The monks present can sell certain items on the square table to buy them.
