"This little brother, are you also here to attend the Tingfeng Sect gathering?"
The moment Lu Li entered the city, a middle-aged man from behind came up to talk to him and stopped Lu Li from going.
Lu Li looked at this man and the caravan behind him, and said calmly, "Is this the same for this elder brother?"
"Of course. Tingfeng Sect's gatherings have always been a grand event in Linzhou. Even people from other states will come to participate."
"It seems to me that you are not a native of Linzhou, right?"
The middle-aged man seemed very talkative.
After all, he is a businessman and travels all over the world. If he is not talkative, he will not be able to do business.
Lu Li didn't expect that this guy was so familiar, but he still started chatting with him.
Anyway, I am not familiar with the place at this time, so instead of messing around by myself, it is better to find someone who is familiar with Tingfeng Sect to get some information.
Fortunately, Lu Li was also a relatively talkative person. The two chatted for a while, and under Lu Li's guidance, the middle-aged man told almost everything he knew.
His name is Lei He, and he is actually not from Linzhou. His hometown is in Jinzhou, a small border town. Later, he accidentally became the leader of a caravan. He led the caravan all over the country, and finally took root in Linzhou, which is close to the imperial capital. After many years of operation, he has made a lot of money. Fan family business.
And the place he visited most often was the city of Tingfeng Sect.
Firstly, it was because the Tingfeng Sect had an excellent reputation, and many of the elixirs and weapons produced by the sect were highly profitable. Secondly, it is to listen to the annual gathering of the Feng Sect.
At the rally, Tingfeng Sect would bring out many high-quality products and sell them at extremely cheap prices. This was a way of giving back and wooing those caravans.
At the same time, after the rally begins, Tingfeng Sect will also hold many activities, both civil and military. The most outstanding one is the rally arena.
At that time, many disciples of Tingfeng Sect will show up to guard the ring. From outer disciples, inner disciples, and even true disciples, they will appear. Every time one of them is defeated, they will be rewarded by Tingfeng Sect.
If you can defeat Tingfeng Sect's true disciple, you can directly join Tingfeng Sect and become a disciple of a certain elder.
With Tingfeng Sect's reputation in Linzhou, gathering in this arena is the reason why people flock to it.
Even if they cannot defeat the true disciple, there are still many warriors who want to try to defeat the inner disciples of Tingfeng Sect. Not only can they get rewards, they might also be favored by an elder and accepted into the inner sect.
"Now that the Jitian Demon Kingdom and the Devouring Heaven Holy Kingdom are at war, isn't it a bit inappropriate for the Tingfeng Sect to hold a rally with such great fanfare?"
After getting familiar with Lei He, Lu Li asked calmly.
Lei He laughed and said: "Little brother, you don't know something. It is precisely because the two countries are at war that Tingfeng Sect has to hold this gathering."
"After all, Tingfeng Sect's gatherings can attract many caravans and big businessmen. I heard that this time they want to raise some military expenses from these businessmen to give to the Holy Kingdom."
"Furthermore, Tingfeng Sect will not keep any of the goods sold at this gathering, and all the money will be donated to the Holy Kingdom."
Lei He said with emotion: "Only Tingfeng Sect would do this. After all, the connection between Tingfeng Sect and the Holy Kingdom is very deep. The Tingfeng Sect can still achieve its current status because of the help of the Tiantian Holy Kingdom. Drink water and remember the source. , Now that the Holy Kingdom of Swallowing Heaven is in trouble, it is very rare for Tingfeng Sect to repay its kindness."
"For others, let alone donating military expenses, it would be considered very good if it doesn't add insult to injury."
After listening to Lei He's emotion, Lu Li secretly said: "It seems that this Tingfeng Sect should be a faction loyal to the Holy Kingdom."
This will be easier to handle.
Regardless of whether Tingfeng Sect is seeking fame or not, being able to make this gesture shows that Tingfeng Sect at least understands the importance and the probability of cooperating with the divine religion is not high.
Of course, this is not 100% certain.
It is not difficult to tell from Lei He's words that Tingfeng Sect's influence in Linzhou is probably higher than that of the He family.
Moreover, Tingfeng Sect is also very good at life, and its influence is not only limited to Linzhou, but even takes care of surrounding state capitals. At least what Lu Li had observed along the way was that the people in the caravan were very friendly towards the Tingfeng Sect, which not only proved that they had made a lot of profits from the Tingfeng Sect, but also proved that the Tingfeng Sect was indeed very popular.
A sect that knows how to win people's hearts will at least not be all idiots.
Moreover, just from the various arrangements of this gathering, Lu Li could tell that there must be smart people in Tingfeng Sect, or Tingfeng Sect, who were controlling the overall situation.
If you know how to use such methods, you will never cooperate with the divine religion and destroy your own foundation.
"Little brother, since we have come to the gathering, are you interested in participating in Tingfeng Sect's martial arts competition?" Lei He suddenly asked as he was about to reach the gathering area.
When Lu Li heard this, his heart moved slightly, "Brother, is there some inside story?"
"Hey, I can't say it's an inside story, but I heard that Tingfeng Sect has increased the competition rewards a lot this time. And as long as participating warriors dare to go to the battlefield afterwards, Tingfeng Sect can recommend them to the Holy Kingdom Military Headquarters and will also give them A great reward.”
"Why do we practice martial arts? Isn't it just so that no one can bully us at critical moments?"
"If it weren't for my lack of strength, brother, I might have given up on the caravan and gone to the border to kill those lackeys of the Demon Kingdom!"
Lei He was obviously very satisfied with Tingfeng Sect's actions this time.
But Lu Li just listened to the second half of what he said.
Lei He claimed that he was not strong enough, but he still had the cultivation level of the early Tongxuan. You know, when the bell rang three times that day, a crowd of warriors gathered in the imperial capital, including many warriors from the Thunder Listening Realm and even the Qi Aperture Realm.
Those people knew that they might never come back after going to the battlefield, but they still went to the military headquarters without hesitation.
Lei He is two realms stronger than those warriors in the Qi Aperture Realm, but he will only enjoy his time here. In comparison, it is clear at a glance which one is better.
But Lu Li didn't mean to look down on Lei He.
It is human nature to be greedy for life and afraid of death, to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages.
What's more, Lei He can't be regarded as a pure warrior at all. After many years of business, he has completely become a businessman. Being able to rush to the rally to support the Heaven-Swallowing Holy Kingdom with money is already a very good performance.
Even if the Heaven-Swallowing Holy Kingdom claims that everyone is like a dragon, it can't force every warrior to go into battle to kill the enemy, right
After talking for a while, Lu Li followed the caravan to the meeting.
The so-called meeting place is actually an entire block divided. There are not only merchants buying and selling, but also eating and drinking, which is very lively.
Seeing this scene in front of him, Lu Li couldn't help but be a little surprised. Isn't this the pedestrian street business district in his previous life
Lu Li couldn't help but sigh, human wisdom reaches the same goal through different paths.
Even though this is a world of martial arts, when it comes to 'business', the ideas will always overlap.
To put it bluntly, this is just a convenient form for people, and it is not a unique product of a certain world.
But the familiar scene in front of him gave Lu Li a ridiculous idea.
Could it be that the world in the previous life was also one of the worlds
Under the barbaric world, there is also a fragmented world.
What's more, according to Bai Bai, when the world's luck is exhausted, the spiritual energy will disappear quickly. Isn't that kind of world... what it looked like in his previous life
Could it be that in his previous life, he was also in one of the worlds, and then by chance, his soul traveled to a higher-level True Martial Realm
But this idea was so ridiculous that Lu Li shook his head and drove it out of his mind.
Immediately, after asking about the location of Wu Lei, Lu Li said goodbye to Lei He.
Lei He still had to go buy goods. Although he felt that chatting with Lu Li, his 'little brother', was very exciting, he couldn't delay making money.
After Lei He left, Lu Li walked into the gathering block and looked around.
