After everyone's greetings, Tiewanshan and Zhi Jiangyun walked side by side towards the preparatory venue outside Luobao Town.

These two have always been in love, and they were already strong when they were young decades ago.

In fact, Jingnan said that it is small, not big, especially the elite children of the sects such as the Thirteen Fortress of Jingnan are known to each other.

Especially the two places in Yangtian Lake and Tieshan City, one is the sword cultivator sect and the other is the weapon refining family, so this business deal is naturally indispensable.

Moreover, these two families are somewhat unique in Jingnan.

The sword cultivators in Yangtianhu have a sword in their hands, and they almost do not seek outside. Their practice emphasizes and pursues the principle of being precise and sincere, so-called being skilled in swords and being sincere in themselves. Therefore, they do not get involved in worldly affairs, and are more alienated from other sects.

Tieshan City is also incompatible with other sects in Jingnan because they mainly engage in iron tools, not traditional agriculture, and there is also a big backer of Tianqi Gate behind it, so there is no need to join forces with others to keep warm.

Heroes cherish heroes, and aliens respect different kinds. The relationship between these two families is quite close and can be regarded as quasi-ally.

At this time, several groups of people came out, most of them were small sects or famous or unknown casual cultivators in Jingnan. When they saw Tie Wanshan, the lord of Tieshan City, came here in person, and they were not in a hurry to go forward to get involved in a relationship and make a familiar face. Wouldn't they come here for nothing and live up to the treasure conference?

Those who think they have the status or have some friendship with the Tie family come forward to salute Tiewanshan and greet each other, and the scene suddenly became lively.

Tie Wanshan returned the gift to everyone, but also muttered in his heart.

This is wrong. In addition to Tieshan City and Yangtian Lake in the Thirteen Forts in Jingnan, three other families are here, namely Shennong Valley, Tianxin Pavilion and Wuling Gate. The other eight families have not arrived yet.

As mentioned in the previous document, the node hub of the Thirteen Fortress of Jingnan was actually established three hundred years ago. After hundreds of years, these sects began to gradually differentiate and have reached different levels.

These three families have a special status in the Thirteen Forts in Jingnan, but they are the opposite of Tieshan City and are in a miserable state. They are considered to be the declining sects now.

Shennong Valley is considered to be the lower sect of the Tiandan Sect. Li Zisheng's elixir master, Dr. Leng Baiyi, was born in this sect. However, although they are proficient in the art of Qihuang, they can only treat others and cannot force themselves. Moreover, the magic tricks practiced by people in the alchemy are too central and peaceful, and they are very slow to enter the country. Therefore, although the medical skills of practitioners in the valley are praised, their own cultivation is very average.

This sect has not appeared in Qi Refining Human Immortal for several generations. It has almost become synonymous with "medical college". Now it can only be regarded as a second-rate sect in Jingnan, and it is even less popular in Zhongzhou.

Tianxin Pavilion was established by a disciple of the Tiansuan Sect, one of the eight heavenly sects in the past, but now there is no Tiansuan Sect, only the Divine Sect, which means that this sect is no longer one of the eight heavenly sects.

In fact, whether it is "heavenly calculating" or "shen calculating" is not simply "fortune-telling" and observing the past and predicting the future. Instead, using mathematics and physics, such as the Nine Palaces, Bagua, River Chart, and Luoshu, to ponder the origin of the way. It is a unique way to get to the sky in one step.

However, this method of practicing Taoism attaches great importance to personal qualifications. If it were not for practitioners who had innate intuition about mathematics, it would be impossible to achieve anything. Therefore, the Divine Confucian Sect and Tianxin Pavilion have both declined. The children who are in trouble can only make a living by telling fortunes and judging words and feng shui for mortals. It can also be said to be a joke in the Immortal Sect.

The origin of Wuling Gate is a bit special. During the Battle of Heaven, there were some human cultivators who were tired or did not have the courage to participate in the War of Human and Gods. They found a place in Jingnan where there were rare humans and gods. It was a valley located in the deep mountains, and only underground culverts could lead to the outside world. These "anti-war" people lived in the valley and opened up their own paradise.

They only appeared in front of the world after the war, but they were probably used to being "home", so the people in this sect have always lived in a quiet place, not more than external interactions. However, there was a small Yuanshi ore vein at the bottom of the valley, which could be self-sufficient.

The Lord of Iron City greeted everyone with a kind look on the surface, but his thoughts changed drastically and he felt something was wrong.

Did I come too early or was I suspicious of a dark ghost? Could it be that I am really old and timid?

He naturally knew that the "grain shortage" led by the Jingnan Grain Association a few years ago was to squeeze Tiantongmen grain coupons out of Jingnan. The Jingnan Grain Association, which had such a "feat", was naturally not fighting alone. Behind it is not only the Hengyang faction, but also other forces, mainly the "local faction" in the Thirteen Forts of Jingnan.

These sects are neither as focused on cultivation as Yangtian Lake, nor are they as defeated as Shennong Valley and Tianxin Pavilion, nor are they as deaf and deaf ears as Wuling Gate. They have become the actual rulers of their places like Tieshan City.

However, due to the limitations of conditions, they cannot become the iron center of Jingnan like Tieshan City. Fortunately, thanks to the natural conditions of Jingnan, the causes of these sects are mainly concentrated in the production and sale of grain and other crops. Unfortunately, they are one step slower than their Yangzhou counterparts and have not transformed from agricultural capitalists to financial capitalists in time. Compared with Tiantongmen, they are too behind in the financial field.

Now, not only has the right to issue money, but also allows foreign households like Tiantongmen to control the grain market, which can directly affect the grain prices.

This is also why the Hengyang Sect leader Liu Guanshan took the lead and the local forces in Jingnan responded to each other.

In fact, to be honest, these sects united to expel food coupons is also a kind of self-defense. After all, they are the real ruling force in Jingnan. Why should other forces dominate the financial and food markets?

It's a pity that the mantis stalks the cicada and the oriole is behind.

However, the Tianqimen and his Tie Family took this opportunity to issue their own currency - iron coupons, and obtained the right to issue money from Jingzhou. At the same time, the sects behind the Jingnan Grain Association that speculate on grain suffered a great loss.

Tie Wanshan naturally knew that cutting off people's wealth was like killing his parents. He offended so many forces at once. Even though there was someone behind him, he was always a little worried.

The real reason why he went to Luobao Conference in person was to use this occasion to ease relations with the channels in Jingnan Thirteen Forts.

However, a few days before the 15th day of August when the Luobao Conference officially began, "coincidentally", none of the other eight sects led by the Hengyang Sect came.

No, this is definitely not a coincidence, there must be something strange about this matter.

When the Lord of Iron City thought of this, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, which was invincible with coldness and heat...
