The Fourth Financial Crisis

Just as He Mingyuan was battling wits and courage with the corrupt elements in the nearby Shicheng mine, the Haiya Immortality Conference finally kicked off.

The number of applicants for this Immortal Ascension Conference is finally fixed at 798,000. According to the spiritual root probability of about one thousandth, almost 800 cultivators will be born. Although this ratio is not high, the absolute number is not Not much.

The place where seekers test their spiritual roots is located in the testing hall inside the main palace of Haiya City, not far from the headquarters of the Qingning Chamber of Commerce.

A few days before the Immortal Ascension Conference, Yang Lu could hear bursts of noise coming from the direction of the City Lord's Mansion from time to time. Whenever this happened, it often meant that a seeker had been tested for spiritual root qualifications and obtained the qualification to become a immortal. Admission ticket to "Master Cultivator".

When the time came to the last day of the Immortal Ascension Conference, it was Yang Lu and Murong's turn to take part in the test.

Li Qingning took this matter very seriously and even deliberately postponed an important meeting and personally accompanied them to the test hall of the City Lord's Mansion.

When their group of testers gathered outside the city lord's mansion and prepared to line up to enter the testing hall, Yang Lu also discovered an old acquaintance - Zhu Ziming from the Zhu Family Chamber of Commerce!

Zhu Ziming is only about 20 years old. Based on this, it is possible that he missed the last Immortal Ascension Conference. As a seeker recommended by the Zhujia Chamber of Commerce, he participated in the spiritual root test in the same group as Yang Lu and Murong Fen, who were sponsored by the Qingning Chamber of Commerce.

Seeing this important suspect who hired a murderer to kill someone, Yang Lu didn't feel jealous of enemies.

The essence of anger is the fear of one's own incompetence. If anger can solve problems, humans will not need to evolve such things as IQ. Yang Lu has the support of Miss Li Qingning. If he is still afraid of Zhu Ziming, then he might as well find a piece of cake. Forget it if you are hit to death by tofu.

What's more, hiring the Heyuge killer is of great importance. Even if the Zhu Family Chamber of Commerce is really responsible, it will be difficult to bypass Zhu Jianwen, the head of the Zhu family. After Zhu Ziming failed the task assigned by Lu Anping, he has gradually faded out of the Zhu Family Chamber of Commerce. core of decision-making.

Therefore, the real mastermind behind the murder case may not be the young master of the Zhu family who had a grudge against him.

Although Yang Lu directly ignored Zhu Ziming, Zhu Ziming looked at him with a mixture of resentment and jealousy. Resentment is easy to understand, but jealousy is mainly due to Li Qingning's existence.

In the circle of cultivators in Haiya City, Li Qingning is definitely the most famous beautiful cultivator. Not only does she have great looks and a perfect figure, but she also has the dazzling halo of "Princess of the Lingshi Reserve Bank" on her head. It is no exaggeration to say that she is the dream lover of all the young men in Haiya City.

Although Li Qingning and Yang Lu didn't have any obvious feelings for each other, in the eyes of others, their behavior was already a bit too close. If not, Jiang Hua'an, the lord of Haiya City, would not ask Yang Lu's identity in person.

Seeing that the goddess who was unattainable to him actually talked and laughed with Yang Lu, a mortal, how could he not make Zhu Ziming jealous?

Lu Anping is also a cultivator's dog. Not to mention that it is impossible to accompany him to the Immortal Ascension Conference, Lu Anping rarely even looks at him with a straight eye. He treats him like a watchdog. On the other hand, Yang Lu is obviously just a lick under Li Qingning. Dog, but judging from the close interaction between the two, this licking dog may have almost licked Li Qingning's bed!

As the saying goes, licking a dog is better than licking a dog, which makes the licking dog mad.

As a young master from a wealthy family in Haiya City, Zhu Ziming was usually only envied by others.

Now, Yang Lu, a mortal, appeared out of nowhere. Not only did he repeatedly sabotage his own good deeds, but he also successfully hugged Li Qingning's long legs. He even heard that the killers of Heyu Pavilion were dispatched, but in the end he ended up with no return. .

If he hadn't confirmed repeatedly that Yang Lu was a mortal, Zhu Ziming would have even suspected that he was a hidden boss of the Infinite Sword Sect pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger!

However, Zhu Ziming didn't know that Li Qingning and Yang Lu came together to whisper, talking about him.

"Yang Lu, that pervert named Zhu is here. Do you need me to run over and beat him to death?"

"He is just suspected of hiring a murderer. I'm afraid it's not appropriate for us to commit murder in broad daylight..."

"It doesn't matter! Although the Haiya City Lord's Mansion is full of experts, as long as I get close enough, they won't have time to react."

"That's not what I mean. What I mean is that if you shoot him to death, you will probably damage your heavenly merits... What's more, disrupting the Immortal Ascension Conference is also a huge crime!"

"It's okay. Although my merit accumulation is not much, I haven't spent it easily. It's enough to kill a few scum. As for the crime of destroying the Immortal Ascension Conference... At the worst, I will return to the Wuliang Sword Sect and let Grandpa do it for me. say!"

"Even if this hired murderer named Zhu is really the murderer, it only means that this guy is at the end of his rope. Don't worry, I have plenty of ways to deal with him. There is no need to use such extreme means."

"Come on, tell me, what is the method?"

Li Qingning's face was full of eagerness to try, as if Yang Lu didn't reveal his trump cards, she would go on a killing spree.

Yang Lu had nothing to do with Miss Li, so he had to confess honestly: "The competition for the leadership of the new generation of cultivator's social security system reform has become fierce. In the next year, the top leaders of the Wuliang Sword Sect will definitely decide the winner. I wish you the best. The Zhu Family Chamber of Commerce has been tied to Lu Anping's chariot and has already been riding a tiger, and I only need to add fuel to the flames to make the entire Zhu Family Chamber of Commerce die without a burial place."

Li Qingning was just about to ask him what he thought about the struggle for power in the reform of the social security system of cultivators, but was interrupted by the foundation-building monk from the Haiya Sect who was responsible for maintaining order: "Seekers recommended by the major chambers of commerce, it will be your turn to participate in the spiritual competition next. Root tested.”

Seeing that the test time had come, Li Qingning had no choice but to give up and told Butler Zhou: "Uncle Zhou, you will be responsible for protecting the safety of Yang Lu and Murong. The Qingning Chamber of Commerce has distinguished guests visiting today. Remember to use it immediately if you have the results." Notify me with a communication spell."

"Don't worry!" Butler Zhou immediately bowed his head and accepted the order.

Li Qingning has always had a high vision, and he will definitely not casually call ordinary cultivators distinguished guests.

Since Li Qingning was able to give up the opportunity to attend the Immortal Ascension Conference to entertain this mysterious guest in person, his identity would probably be no less than that of the Lord of Haiya City, Jiang Hua'an.

Yang Lu was also curious about who Li Qingning called his distinguished guest, but Li Qingning did not explain, but directly turned into a blue light and soared into the sky. He had no choice but to give up.

The test hall of the Haiya City Lord's Mansion is very spacious, like a small indoor square. After Yang Lu and others were introduced into the hall by the monks from the Haiya Sect, thousands of immortal seekers were neatly lined up inside the test hall, preparing to take part in the spiritual root test one after another.

In order to maintain order, the testing site of the Immortal Ascension Conference usually does not allow idlers to enter and watch, but Butler Zhou, as the domestic servant of Li Qingyang, the president of the Lingshi Reserve Bank, obviously does not fall within the scope of this rule.

Butler Zhou pointed to an unassuming stone tablet in the middle of the hall and introduced to Yang Lu and Murong: "This is the legendary fairy stone. The palaces of the city lords in major cities in Zhongzhou are actually built around the fairy stones from various places. Although there is only such a small piece of Immortal Marble Stone exposed above the ground, it is said that its underground part is directly connected to the spiritual veins of Kyushu. It is the power of the earth veins that can activate your respective spiritual root qualifications. And the reason why the Immortal Conference is You must be 15 years old to participate, mainly because those who are underage are easily eroded by the power of the earth's veins, which can cause irreversible serious consequences."
