Mortals: start with self-created body cultivation

Chapter 146: Turning against guests

After exchanging names, the two chatted quite well, because Xu Qingyang can chat well with anyone if necessary, so they each further introduced themselves.

Wenqiang's origin is relatively simple.

This person is a child of a small local family. His cultivation level is not that good. He is at the fifth level of Qi training. There is nothing to say. He relied on his family connections to find an ordinary clerk in this institution. I heard that he and his companions were together. After traveling, I felt like a clerk in my previous life when I saw a talented person who just left at the drop of a hat. I felt envious in my heart. Unknowingly, the more we chatted, the more we became more and more intrigued.

Faced with such a young man, Xu Qingyang shouldn't fool him too easily.

After a lot of nonsense, the topic gradually turned to the competition for quotas. Wen Qiang said: "Brother Xu, don't take it seriously. Those people are boycotting outsiders one by one. They are just excuses..."

After saying this, Xu Qingyang cheered up.

Wen Qiang's next words gradually revealed the internal structure of the immortal world on Kuixing Island.

The so-called outsiders here refer to the island owner faction. Kuixing Island is one of the seventy-two main islands among the twenty-four outer star islands. Just like the competition for employment on its affiliated islands, the island owners of the main island also need to compete for employment. Yes, but this power is not in the local sea, but in the most mysterious and ancient overlord-level force in the Chaos Star Sea: "Star Palace"

The specifics will not be discussed here.

The relationship between the local large islands and the Star Palace is a bit like the policy of restraint, but the influence is greater. The island owners must go through the legal election process held by them before they are qualified to take over.

The situation on Kuixing Island is not complicated. The old island owner has passed away and the new island owner has been selected by the Star Palace and took office not long ago.

To put it simply, the new island owner and the people he brings are outsiders, but he is only one of the most prominent representatives of the outsiders. The definitions of outsiders and locals cover a wide range of aspects and do not only refer to a certain person. There is a group, but the interests and the corresponding local factions form an obvious conflict. The specific conflicts and contradictions can already be gleaned from the marginal interests of mortal shipping quota.

The families that now control long-distance shipping on the main island are all locals.

Wen Qiang did not make it clear in his message that the old island owner faction and the real local faction would be divided into specifics. Most people would not talk about these. Anyway, the two factions resisted the new outsider faction.

The point now is that Boss Gu is nothing.

He is a native of the local mortal family, and has nothing to do with the outsiders brought by the new island owner. He has no channels to rely on. To put it bluntly, the Gu family's level is not qualified for the outsiders to take a look at it. Not to mention the high-ranking island owner, even the disciples and grandsons of the underground would not take it lightly. On the contrary, the Gu family seems to be the local sect among the local sects, but he is from a lower-level island in the countryside, and he was previously at the immortal master level. His background was too weak, and there was some kind of interest in his place of birth, so the Gu family didn't borrow the power of any local faction at all.

If the Gu family wants to enter the field, they must either find help from outside immortal cultivators who don't know the inside story and act recklessly, only to see destiny later, or they must gain acceptance from a certain faction and truly have the attributes of the camp before they can find help from immortal cultivators.

After figuring this out, it was now Xu Qingyang's turn to help him choose.

Because this is not only the Gu family's shipping business, but also involves his alignment with the camps that will take root in the local area in the future, which forces he will move closer to, and which people will gain their tacit support. Is it the foreign faction or the local faction? The foreign faction obviously has more potential. They followed the airborne top leaders and crossed the river to fight the dragon.

The local faction may be on the defensive in the future.

If you want to join the foreign faction, the problem is as follows. The foreign faction comes from the outside, and the internal relationship is closer. Even if you want to win over some locals, they will cooperate more with some powerful local forces.

Even if individual people can join, they will be considered as non-staff at most.

Moreover, if he does this, he will become a pawn. In future conflicts, he will definitely be in the front, which is inconsistent with his development plan. Specific to the current situation of the Gu family, although the Gu family is not accepted by the local faction, they are born and raised. Once they are bound to the Gu family and enter the circle, they will naturally become the local faction and will not be unable to move up or down.

"Fellow Literary Daoist, thank you for this tip!"

Wen Qiang scratched his head, with a hint of embarrassment on his green face: "Fellow Daoist Xu, I can't say you have any advice, and I don't know much about it. Anyway, don't worry, Mr. Gu, everything is different this time."

As he spoke, he turned to look at the contestants one after another, and Xu Qingyang followed suit.

There were all kinds of people. During the time they were talking, a total of more than thirty families had come, and they were divided into several circles. The atmosphere between them was full of gunpowder. Wen Qiang introduced in a low voice: "Those who wear green styles are basically from the island owner's family. These are The second goal is to seize the share from the local monks like us. Some of the people they fight are outstanding disciples sent by the local families, and some are their own core members. The rest wear various colorful styles, and the largest number of them. The ones that are qualified to be produced locally are from competing families. Those who were eliminated last time have come this time. The purpose is also simple. They collectively boycott the island owner. The rest are similar to Mr. Gu, both ends. It doesn’t even count..”

"But Fellow Daoist, don't worry. This time the two parties are fighting secretly, but it is difficult to control the situation. When the challenge comes next, Mr. Gu, Fellow Daoist Xu and others may not be easily targeted."

Xu Qingyang nodded while watching, thinking about the entry point.

In a three-circle, two-strong showdown, it is possible to profit from the miscellaneous fish in the middle. Of course, it is also possible that the two parties have a tacit understanding, allowing the centrist to be eliminated first.

How specific it is, it’s hard to say now.

Xu Qingyang already had camp tendencies and did not treat this as a trivial matter. He turned to Wen Qiang and said: "Xu first arrived in this treasure land and has always wanted to find opportunities to communicate and practice with local colleagues. Unfortunately, since entering the island, he has not been familiar with the place and has suffered from the lack of knowledge. It happened that the Gu family was entrusted with this matter, and Xu also wanted to help the Gu family handle it properly."

The first time the two met, it was somewhat abrupt.

However, Xu Qingyang also feels that this Wenqiang is really not a person with too complicated thoughts. If he is more direct, he may skip the process of interest exchange among social people. As long as Wenqiang can introduce him to the local faction before this competition. As a person, you can try to communicate with each other before the competition begins, which not only solves the problem of the Gu family, but also pave the way for his future plan to plan the island.

Facts have proved that he was right.

Wen Qiang is indeed simple-minded and has no ill intentions, but he is a bit too simple.

He kept talking about the struggle between several factions, but did not understand his obvious tendency. He only took it literally, and it was really just an exchange of cultivation experiences. He promised Xu Qingyang that he would introduce the Kuixing Island monks he knew to Xu Qingyang in the future. Xu Qingyang had no choice but to further ask if he could be introduced to him now. Only then did Wen Qiang react belatedly.
