I really became a king.

Chapter 645 Meeting
Li Chaosheng led Jiang Yi and the other person to a small courtyard.

Although this small courtyard is not as good as the mid-mountain luxury houses in the center of the city, it is close to the foot of the mountain, which is both secluded and safe, and can be considered a so-called "rich area."

"This is my home in Donghai Market. Senior Brother Jiang and this old man can take a rest here for now."

Originally, he wanted to go directly to the sect’s base in Donghai Market, but after thinking about it, he felt that it was inappropriate and could only lead his family first.

"It seems that Manager Li is living a good life." As soon as I entered the courtyard, I saw several maids busying around.

There were also children of different ages playing in the yard. When they saw Li Chaosheng, they wanted to run over, but when they saw Jiang Yi and the other two strangers, they stopped timidly.

"Hehe, life is about doing whatever makes you happy." Li Chaosheng smiled, and then ordered: "Go and call the ladies to meet Brother Jiang."

Jiang Yi waved his hand: "No need, don't bother the ladies, let's find a place to chat."

Li Chaosheng responded and then led the two of them to the study in the front yard.

"How about I find a place to clean up first?" Mr. Jia said, knowing that there are some occasions where he is not suitable to be present.

Li Chaosheng took Mr. Jia to settle down, and Jiang Yi was alone in the study reading books. Soon Li Chaosheng came back.

"Brother Jiang, do you need me to inform the sect first?"

He has a correct position and a good attitude, and does not show any discomfort because of the reversed status.

"I wonder what's going on at the sect?"

"Alas, Senior Sister Chu is in a difficult situation in the sect now." Li Chaosheng talked about Chu Ling.

"Because of the Xingxiu Sea incident?"

"Yes, now many sects know that our Qingyun Sect has been fooled by that old ancestor and has become a laughing stock. It was Senior Sister Chu who recommended that old ancestor to go to Xingxiu Sea."

Jiang Yi understood what he meant. This was a subtle hint for him to stand on Senior Sister Chu's side. He didn't care about this and just asked:

"I wonder what the status of Senior Sister Chu is in the sect?"

Li Chaosheng breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Brother Jiang, don't worry. Sister Chu is now one of the top ten true disciples of the sect and has a strong background in the sect."

"Do you have the power to decide on Xingxiu Sea?"

Li Chaosheng: "Of course, as long as Senior Brother Jiang can deal with the ancestor of Xingxiu Sea, Senior Sister Chu will be Senior Brother Jiang's biggest supporter!"

Jiang Yi smiled, but didn't say much, just said: "Then please trouble Manager Li to pass the message to Senior Sister Chu."

In the following days, Jiang Yi did not live in Li Chaosheng's house, but moved to another small house with Uncle Jia.

Although this place is not at the foot of the mountain, it is still secluded.

Jiang Yi did not practice anymore, but wandered around the Donghai market.

He visited auction houses, black markets, stores of various sects, and even roadside stalls. He focused on the art of array refining, but was a little disappointed.

Although there are array refining techniques here, they basically all follow the traditional method of setting up arrays. There are very few people who can condense array plates, and even if there are, they are rather crude.

After asking indirectly, I learned that even in this world of immortal cultivation, the art of refining formation plates is extremely precious and is a very secret inheritance.

Only a large sect like the Qingyun Sect has array refiners in this field, and they are all the sect’s powerful foundation.

Those powerful array refiners can not only refine various magic arrays and array plates, but can even refine some powerful martial arts secrets into array plates.

The art of array refining is indeed profound and he still has a long way to go. In the past few days, Jiang Yi has also formally met with the former eunuch Huo, who seems to be very satisfied with his current life as a turtle slave.

Even after realizing that Jiang Yi was worth a lot of money, he kept persuading him to invest in opening a brothel, and in the end even old man Jia was tempted.

Jiang Yi couldn't stand the two's nagging anymore, so he took out some supplies and let the two of them deal with it on their own.

He had no shortage of ordinary yellow and white things, but what he lacked was the currency in the world of immortal cultivation - agarwood.

In auction houses, shops that sell magical instruments and other treasures, black markets, and even roadside stalls, the hard currency is agarwood.

As for other yellow and white things, even the spirit stones from the Wild Continent, they are worthless in the eyes of powerful cultivators.

Where does agarwood come from? There is only one source: Dark Battlefield!

This is also the fundamental reason why the major sects set up military headquarters and even actively absorbed secular royal families, because they need a large number of troops to charge into battle in the dark battlefield.

This is also the main purpose of Jiang Yi's coming to the Donghai Market this time. He must gain control of the Xingxiu Sea, including an entrance to a dark battlefield controlled by the Qingyu Sect.

On this day, Jiang Yi walked into a three-story building at the strong invitation of Huo Yutian and Uncle Jia. This was his first investment in Donghai Market, although it was a brothel.

"Boss, this piece of land is absolutely worth the money. We will definitely make a fortune in the future..." Huo Yutian spoke eloquently, and Old Man Jia's eyes lit up as he listened.

Jiang Yi listened quietly, and he liked the atmosphere of the three of them getting along. However, thinking that investing in a brothel was not a glorious thing after all, he said, "You two can run this business, and don't let anyone know that I invested in it."

Huo Yutian nodded repeatedly: "I understand, the boss just needs to hide behind the scenes and count the money."

Jiang Yi shook his head. Did he need these ordinary yellow and white things? But he didn't explain anything, just reminded: "I think you two should still focus on cultivation."

The two were stunned. Practice? Can we practice too? When they wanted to ask in detail, Li Chaosheng walked in.

"Brother, someone is coming from the sect."

"Then let's go and meet my family." Jiang Yi smiled and turned to go out, leaving the two people in a somewhat disheveled state.

Especially Uncle Jia, he couldn't help but whispered: "Brother Huo, do you think I can still practice cultivation when I am half buried in the ground?"

Huo Yutian suddenly realized that his ambitions seemed too petty.

Three years later, Jiang Yi met his former senior sister from the inner sect again, but now she was ranked among the top ten true disciples of Qingyun Sect.

Just like the last time they met, the sect's true disciple still had a cold expression and an even more majestic demeanor.

"I'm glad that you survived and entered the foundation-building stage in just three years."

"Survived a great disaster and got some opportunities by chance?"

"Oh? Opportunity? Does it also include the method of freely entering and exiting the Xingxiu Sea?" Chu Ling stared at Jiang Yi with motionless eyes.

"If you can't enter and exit freely, you will have to pay a price every time." Jiang Yi was not prepared to tell the truth. Although he would not be as ruthless as that old ancestor, the method of entering and exiting the Xingxiu Sea must be in his own hands.

Chu Ling seemed to understand what Jiang Yi meant, and stopped asking questions. Instead, she asked, "When are you going to take action? Are you sure?"

"I have the confidence, but I don't know if our sect can withstand the retaliation from other sects."

"What do you mean?" Chu Ling frowned slightly, because she had known for a long time that the old ancestor was colluding with both internal and external forces, and that Qingyu Sect had been infiltrated by other sects.

"I want to clean up the house."

"You want to go on a killing spree?"
