Duobao Mountain is located in the suburbs of Yanzhou in the east of Sanjin.

The land of Sanjin has been an important place for business since ancient times. It is said that they can’t wait for their children to start learning business while they are still in their mother’s womb.

Since Duobaoshan lives in the land of Sanjin, he is naturally good at doing business. He has dozens of large industries under his control, along with many small shops.

He is a well-known business tycoon in the land of Sanjin. If nothing else, it is not a big problem to be ranked in the top thirty.

Han Molin took Lin Zhanqing to Yanzhou City to buy some gifts before going to Duobao Mountain.

But Han Molin's move was scolded by Lin Zhanqing.

"Master! We have come all the way from the land of Qilu. Not to mention expensive gifts, at least we brought some of our local specialties to show that we value others. As the saying goes, etiquette is less important than affection. Is it because the master wife didn't pay the fee? I still have something here.

It’s quite a lot, Master, take it and use it first!”

Lin Zhanqing's words made Han Molin curse in anger,

"You kid, what a fart! When did your wife dare to hold me back for money? Although our Liuyun Mountain is not as rich as Duobao Mountain, we still have more than a dozen industries. We are the richest man in those small towns.

Liuyunshan really looks down upon me! As for me, master, being a small wealthy man is more than enough!"

Lin Zhanqing was still dissatisfied and said:

"Master, don't say these are useless. What should we give as a meeting gift? We can't embarrass ourselves with these broken snacks!"

Han Molin chuckled and said:

"You kid, don't worry! Master, I have been traveling around the world for many years, how could I not be prepared? Just follow me to Duobao Mountain and be a distinguished guest."

Lin Zhanqing said nothing again, with his head wilted, and followed Han Molin in the direction of Duobao Mountain.

Lin Zhanqing was not joking when she was worried that Han Molin had no money in his pocket, nor did he think that Han Molin would be rude due to his lack of experience.

It's just that the master's wife was too strict in controlling Han Molin on weekdays. Lin Zhanqing was worried that the master's wife didn't approve the money, or approved too little, so he and his father went to Duobao Mountain as a joke.

…

In the suburbs, dozens of miles away from Yanzhou, many people were walking together.

There are people from a certain sect who came here together, and there are also people who got to know each other on the way and walked together.

They are probably all here for the World Righteous Alliance Conference.

Among them was a long-bearded old man with white beard and hair. He was wearing a black robe that resembled a Taoist robe. He was followed by two young men and a girl.

The two young men were around seventeen or eighteen years old, and both wore jackets made of blue fine cloth. One was taller and the other had fairer skin.

The girl has a delicate appearance, with a hint of youthfulness. Her eyes are bright, her eyebrows are shallow, her lips are red, and two dimples are faintly visible at the corners of her mouth.

These four people came from Pingyang City, two hundred miles away. The old man’s name was Jie Bai, who was the head of a small local sect in Pingyang City, the Zhenhui Sword Sect. The taller young man’s name was Xie Wu, and his skin was fairer.

The boy's name is Xie Yi, and the girl's name is Xie Lingshan. They are Xie Bai's three most promising disciples.

Xie Bai had dozens of disciples in his life, but all of them were incompetent. In the end, not only did he fail to develop martial arts, but he also lost his identity as a martial artist. As for Xie Bai, a master, he was almost useless.

Xie Bai thought about it and couldn't blame others, he could only blame himself. If his own martial arts is half-baked, how can he be qualified to teach any disciples?

Xie Bai has been in the martial arts all his life and is not even a second-rate master. He can only be an old man who is slightly stronger than a country man.

Unexpectedly, the three orphans adopted with the intention of doing good deeds and accumulating virtue turned out to be quite talented in martial arts.

Xie Bai only taught for a few years, but his three apprentices' martial arts skills surpassed his own, which made Xie Bai both happy and angry.

Fortunately, with these three apprentices, Xie Bai's life was not in vain, and he finally passed on his six-legged cat skills.

What made Xie Bai angry was Xie Bai himself.

I'm embarrassed to say that he's bad, he's really a loser in martial arts.

It would be fine if these three children were just as mediocre as him, but these three children were clearly rare and good materials for martial arts training. In my own hands, it was really a waste.

I heard that the five major orthodox sects were going to jointly hold a conference of orthodox disciples in the world, and Xie Bai wanted to come and see it no matter what.

The first is the sects and families who come to the conference, no matter how big or small. As long as they sign up, they will be given a share of the carriage and horse expenses. Although it is not much, it is enough for the four masters and apprentices to travel back and forth. Save some money along the way, and you can still make money.

Lower half.

Furthermore, news has spread a long time ago that the five authentic elder-level masters will give lectures and sermons at the conference and share their experiences with fellow martial arts practitioners.

This is a great temptation for small sects and small aristocratic families all over the world.

After all, most martial arts practitioners will never meet a real master in their lifetime, let alone have the opportunity to be taught by a master.

Small and medium-sized sect families like Xie Bai almost all have the same thoughts.

As for the battle between good and evil, I don't have deep feelings about them.

Because no matter whether it is a demon or not, with the strength of a small or medium-sized sect, as long as you get involved, you will be reduced to cannon fodder. Anyway, it will end up being cannon fodder, so what difference does it make.

Therefore, instead of despair, these small and medium-sized sects and aristocratic families are more at ease.

Since the left and right are cannon fodder, of course you have to be cannon fodder according to your own preferences.

Of course, you should live better before becoming cannon fodder.

As the four of them walked, Xie Lingshan said to Xie Bai:

"Master, is it really worth our traveling all the way to the Righteous Alliance Conference?"

Xie Bai said in a stiff tone:

"Being able to see masters from the five major sects explaining martial arts in person is a good thing that many people in the martial arts world can never hope for in their lives. If it weren't for the evil and evil this time, how would we have such an opportunity."

As soon as the conversation started, Xie Wu and Xie Yi also asked Xie Bai:

"Master, even if the five authentic masters explain martial arts, we can't learn anything if we just listen to them. Why bother to attend such an alliance conference?"

Xie Bai became more and more angry when asked by the three apprentices, and cursed urgently:

"You all just keep going, master, I can't do you any harm!"

As soon as Xie Bai said these words, Xie Wu, Xie Yi Lingshan's eyes were filled with tears. They looked at each other, and it was Xie Lingshan who spoke again,

"Master! You will never harm us! Do you want to, do you want to..."

When Xie Lingshan said this, tears were all over her face and she couldn't say any more. Even Xie Wu and Xie Yi had tears all over their faces.

Xie Bai's eyes were a little moist when he saw these three apprentices like this.

If an old man who is nearly 70 years old is full of tears, it will be an extremely shocking sight.

Xie Bai tried hard to hold back his tears, forced out a smile, and said with a kind face:

"You three are quite talented in martial arts. If at the conference, someone from a big sect takes a fancy to you and accepts you as a disciple, that would be a dream come true. Even I, the master, will be happy for you.

.”

When Xie Bai said this, his voice was obviously trembling.

Xie Wu, Xie Yi, and Xie Lingshan didn't say anything else, they just cried together. But they tried their best not to let any sound come out.

The four masters and apprentices hurried on without stopping.

Master Xie Bai and his disciples were not the only ones talking while walking. Others were also busy.

"Have you heard? This righteous way conference is a bureau set up by the five major sects. The purpose is to recruit people to see who is not loyal to the righteous way wholeheartedly. Once anyone is found to have second thoughts, he will be disciplined and disappear."

"Don't talk nonsense. I'm a member of the Five Authentic Sects. Do you think that if I go to the market to buy vegetables with you and buy a pound, I have to persuade the boss to hook up with you?"

Half a catty."

"Hey, this time is no different than usual. The good and evil are about to go all out. It's a big matter of life and death, but we can still care about those people. We'd better be careful."

"If you say so, there's no harm in being careful."

"Yes, yes, it never hurts to be careful."

There are many rumors like this. They are nothing more than that the Five Authentic Sects are not sincerely entertaining their martial arts comrades, and that the Five Authentic Sects have some kind of conspiracy.

There are three most popular ones:

First, the five major sects want to use the conference to see if those sects and families are not loyal enough, and then find opportunities to kill them.

The second is that the five authentic sects will use this conference to force all the sects and families present to sign a contract of betrayal and become affiliated sects of the five authentic sects.

Third, the five major sects will use this conference to reorganize the sects and families and carry out a series of support and suppression.

In short, this is just a Hongmen Banquet, and nothing good will happen.

Most people ignore such rumors. Even if they have some doubts, they will not take them seriously.

This is what Xie Bai thinks about, what kind of characters are the Five Authentic Sects? Even if they are a broken sect and a broken family, the Five Authentic Sects are too lazy to pay attention to them.

Xie Bai only asked the three apprentices not to talk too much, and what they heard had nothing to do with us. The four masters and apprentices were focused on their way, and their pace quickened a little.

…

Duobaoshan is indeed a recognized businessman among the five authentic sects. Various buildings are lined up on the mountain. Each building is different in height, size, and style.

There are hundreds of buildings, large and small, in the whole mountain, not to mention some individual huts. Those individual huts are called huts, but they are not small at all. They are just scattered all over the mountain alone, without any influence.

At this moment, in the first hall after entering the mountain gate of Duobao Mountain, which is also the Yingbao Hall specially used to welcome guests, Han Molin and Lin Zhanqing were sitting and drinking tea.

The person receiving the reception was a fat man in his forties, wearing gold clothes and trousers. He even had gold and silver jewelry hanging all over his body.
