Chapter 380 Zuo Qingqing, the Jade Talisman as a Token
At this point, Zuo Linjun clearly paused before continuing:
"As Fellow Daoist Nanhua probably knows, the cost of using connections to ride the teleportation array of my Dao Palace is likely to be quite substantial."

Fellow Daoist Nanhua, you need to be prepared for this in advance.

"It's natural."

Ji Haoyuan smiled and nodded.

Before he arrived, he already knew that the cost of bribing officials would be absolutely unavoidable.

Therefore, the moment Zuo Linjun finished speaking, a storage bag was pushed towards him.

"Fellow Daoist Zuo, this is a small token of my appreciation. I hope you will not refuse it."

However, this time Zuo Linjun reached out and pushed the storage bag back to Ji Haoyuan's side, then looked at Ji Haoyuan with a rather serious expression and said:

“Fellow Daoist Nanhua, I know it is not easy for you to come to my Central Divine Land.”

Since I have already received the Miraculous Essence Pill from you, I will not take advantage of this opportunity.

But don't worry, you just need to wait for my news.

I will give you a definite answer in two days at the earliest, and seven days at the latest.

I only hope that if you, Fellow Daoist Nan Hua, can gain a foothold in this Central Divine Continent in the future, you will not forget me, Zuo.

Zuo Linjun spoke frankly and openly, which made Ji Haoyuan feel somewhat favorably toward him.

He understood Zuo Linjun's intention in doing so.

They understood the purpose of it all more clearly.

To put it bluntly, they are using this incident to invest in themselves.

But Ji Haoyuan did not have any aversion to this.

Many people in the world don't understand the situation and assume that others are helping them with ulterior motives, so they think the other person is something else entirely.

They might even develop a sense of arrogance for no reason, thinking that the other person is nothing special.

But don't they ever consider who they are themselves?
If you truly have no value or potential to be invested in by others, why would anyone help you?
Ji Haoyuan was never an arrogant person.

Therefore, he was genuinely grateful to Zuo Linjun for helping him "unconditionally".

As for the Myriad Essence Pill he took out earlier...

It's just a stepping stone to open up conversations between us.

After all.

This was the second time the two had met.

If Ji Haoyuan hadn't offered any indication of his intentions, he would have simply and brazenly asked Zuo Linjun for help.

Whether Zuo Linjun will agree to his request is unknown.

But personally, he certainly wouldn't have a very good impression of that kind of person.

After a long time.

Ji Haoyuan returned to the small courtyard he had temporarily rented in Qianling Prefecture.

The steward, Miao Zixi, immediately stepped forward and handed a jade slip to Ji Haoyuan.

"Elder, this is some information that Junior Brother Qingyun and his men have gathered during this period. You can take a look at it first."

The junior brother Qingyun that Miao Zixi mentioned here refers to Ji Qingfei.

After breaking through to the Golden Core stage, he gave himself the Daoist name "Qingyun".

now.

As Ji Haoyuan reached out and took the jade slip from Miao Zixi's hand, he said to her:

“Zixi, now that we are no longer in the Yanfa Sect, from now on, you should no longer call me Elder, just call me Senior Brother.”

"Yes, senior brother."

Miao Zixi immediately agreed obediently.

Ji Haoyuan nodded, and then he began to examine the contents of the jade slip in his hand.

After arriving in Qianling Prefecture, Ji Haoyuan sent Ji Qingfei and Fan Changhong to inquire about the situation regarding taking the Dao Palace teleportation array.

Although he had connections with Zuo Linjun and believed that asking Zuo Linjun for help shouldn't be too difficult, he always made sure to have multiple backup plans, especially when it concerned his family's future.

Even if it is proven in the end, none of these preparations will be needed.

But as the team leader, you must have this mindset.

After all, many things don't go according to your will.

Any unexpected events or unforeseen circumstances could occur along the way.

At this moment, Ji Haoyuan had finished reading the contents of the jade slip in his hand.

He couldn't help but sigh softly.

As expected, things went as he predicted. For ordinary cultivators, without connections within the Dao Palace, using items exclusive to the Dao Palace was indeed not an easy task.

Although there are also people like him in his previous life who act as intermediaries in Qianling Prefecture.

But those people...

Firstly, the price is extremely high, and secondly, there is no guarantee whatsoever.

Secondly, and most importantly, the scope they can cover is limited to only a few states and regions.

Once they reach areas beyond their current reach, these individuals will need to search for the next wave of intermediaries in the local area.

This will cause their time to be greatly wasted.

Moreover, the places recommended by these people are often the lowest-ranking members of the Taoist temple.

They already have limited resources and rights.

If the situation changes, losing the spirit stones that were given out is a minor issue; the real trouble would be if some scheming people in the Dao Palace asked to cooperate with an investigation.

and so……

After Ji Haoyuan had a general understanding of the situation, he had basically given up the idea of ​​going to find those people.

Unless Zuo Linjun's situation changes, he will not consider it again.

Fortunately.

Zuo Linjun did not disappoint him.

Just three days later, a rather beautiful female cultivator at the Golden Core stage arrived at Ji Haoyuan's courtyard.

Ji Haoyuan and Miao Zixi recognized him at a glance.

The beautiful Golden Core female cultivator before them was one of the group that followed Zuo Linjun when they first arrived in the Central Divine Continent.

At that moment, she took out a jade talisman from her person and politely handed it to Ji Haoyuan, saying:

"Senior Nanhua, this is something my family's Inspector asked me to give you."

At that time, you only need to take this jade talisman to the location of the Dao Palace teleportation array, and someone will come to receive you.

Senior Nan Hua, the only thing you need to be careful about is this jade talisman. It can only allow a maximum of ten people to ride the teleportation array at a time.

If the number exceeds ten, it probably won't work.

Upon hearing this, Ji Haoyuan reached out and took the jade talisman, then smiled and nodded to the female cultivator before him:

Okay, I understand.

Please thank your family's inspector for me.

By the way, what's your name, friend?

The female cultivator quickly bowed and then replied:

"Reporting to senior, my name is Zuo Qingqing."

"Zuo Qingqing?"

Ji Haoyuan was taken aback at first, then nodded thoughtfully.

He had previously thought that if Zuo Linjun sent such a Golden Core female cultivator to deliver the jade talisman to him, she must be Zuo Linjun's absolute confidante.

Now that he saw that she also had the surname Zuo, Ji Haoyuan knew that the relationship between the two was probably more than just that of confidants.
