The plane traveled north along the east coastline and arrived at Yantai Penglai International Airport in about an hour. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
After getting off the plane and heading to Yantai City, Lingling told Mo Fan and Zhao Manyan about the specific situation of the infinite bounty on the bus.
"The demon crown is not a feather on the top of the head of some kind of demon, but a special crown leaf at the top of the canopy of a plant that collects the essence of nature, it grows on the top of a kind of tree called the big purple linden tree, and because the leaves of the big purple linden tree can condense the power of the sun, and give these fruits full of energy to those scattered demons, so that the demon physique is stronger, so a big purple linden tree is actually a small ecological world, and there are often guardian beasts of the big purple linden tree, and the little demons who live on this big purple linden treeใ The so-called demon crown, in fact, is the key to the big purple linden tree to gather the power of the light element, I checked, that company wants to use this demon crown leaf to collect light energy in a large area, and the main ones they produce are mainly light magic tools. Lingling told Mo Fan the reason for the incident.
"I know the company you are talking about, they were set up here in Yantai about five years ago, to put it bluntly, they are because of the development of the alchemy technology of the demon crown, so they have achieved the prosperity of their enterprise, and now all the middle and lower level light magic tools in Asia and Europe, most of them are produced by their enterprises, and they are very famous, and it seems to be supported by the Tokyo Mage Shrine in Japan, and it is said that this enterprise has greatly stimulated the economy of this coastline. Here, they get the raw materials, smelt them, and send them directly to Dalian, where they produce defensive magic tools like a production line, and then sell them in Japan. These equipment are actually authentic made in China, but after they were shipped back to Japan, the price suddenly became much higher. Zhao Manyan said.
When there are things related to money, Zhao Manyan knows a little about them, and he can often dig out the operations and tricks inside.
"In the past, the demon crown was not worth much, probably Yantai sold for about 10,000 at most, and it was still the kind that few people liked to buy. I didn't expect that the demon crown would be sold out directly here in Yantai in five years, and the price was copied to 100,000 each. However, even so, the Tokyo Mage Shrine still made a lot of money, counting all the costs, they produced a Demon Crown Demon Tool for a maximum of 200,000, but sold it for 500,000!" Zhao Manyan said.
"The hard-working middle and junior mages have all swept away the money they have earned by these profiteers. Mo Fan sighed.
Defensive magic tools have always been the most lacking for middle and lower-level mages, hunters have been with demons all year round, and how well they know how well the magic of that period is that many times a life is equated with a defensive magic tool, so more than half of the money they make will eventually fall into the pockets of these companies that produce defensive magic tools!
"100,000 should be a more reasonable price for the demon crown, and the previous period of 10,000 was indeed made by the Japanese. Zhao Manyan said.
"But speaking of which, it seems like we're late, and we've heard more than one mage discussing the Demon Crown along the way. Lingling said.
When I was at Penglai International Airport, the arrival floor was crowded with those mages with hunter qualifications, including some foreign hired mages and hunter teams, and it was obvious that the news of the big treasury of the demon crown had completely leaked out.
With so many competitors all at once, Ling Ling and Mo Fan couldn't help but be a little disappointed with this visit.
However, making money is like this, and not all bounties are smooth sailing.
"Chenying is in Yantai, let's let her be our guide. Zhao Manyan said.
"Is she from Yantai?" Mo Fan said in surprise.
"yes, that's where she is, and she'd be happy to see us. Zhao Manyan smiled.
"It's a pity, Xiao Yanji has been dormant recently, and she should be happier to see Xiao Yanji. Mo Fan said.
After the incident of the Flame Witch Jiang Feng, Mo Fan has not seen Zhao Manyan's sister Chen Ying, thinking that Chen Ying will also need a long time to heal that unforgettable scar, after all, she ended her mother's life with her own hands...... Even though Jiang Feng has no regrets.
I found Chenying's hometown, which was a cottage in an urban village near the sea, and it was the spring flowers that were blooming, facing the sea.
There was an old woman lying in the courtyard, and the afternoon sun fell on her wrinkled face, which looked extraordinarily peaceful.
Chen Ying, who was wearing a small light skirt, was next to the courtyard tree on the side, holding a pair of bamboo scissors in her hand, and was cutting off the withered leaves on the old tree in the yard, and said while cutting it back: "Grandma, wouldn't it be better for these broken leaves to fall on their own, why do you have to take such trouble to cut them off?"
"Girl, raising a tree is the same as raising people, if you don't correct many bad things in time, they will slowly deteriorate to the bones, and finally even the heart will rot. You don't look at these rotten leaves hanging on them don't have much effect, but the kind of decay factor on them will penetrate into the roots of the tree, so that the roots are rotten, and the tree has no roots, which is equivalent to no life. The old man seemed to be half-squinted and old, but his thoughts were quite clear.
As if sensing someone walking in, the old man slowly opened his eyes and saw Mo Fan and Zhao Manyan walking in......
"Girl, the bastards who beat you up are here again. The old woman said with some irony.
"Uncle, I'm Zhao Manyan, Bai Mingjing's son!" Zhao Manyan was embarrassed for a while and hurriedly explained.
Chen Ying saw Zhao Manyan and Mo Fan, and said with surprise on her face: "Why are you here!"
Chen Ying obviously didn't know about Zhao Manyan's disappearance, and this matter was not completely public, Chen Ying had been in Yantai all the time, so she didn't know much about the magic capital.
"You are Mingjing's son, I remember you, I told you, you are not allowed to hurt those little birds, you can't develop the kind of bad habit that you can casually hurt other small animals and other people if you feel that it has no effect on you, have you changed it now??" The old woman stared at Zhao Manyan with a serious face.
"Uh...... You should be talking about my brother. Zhao Manyan vaguely remembered this incident, they were greedy for fun when they were young, so they caught the little finches here and tortured them, and they were criticized by their aunt and mother.
Zhao Manyan let go of those little finches afterwards, but Zhao Youqian seemed to be angry and threw the other little finches to death.
"You're the little one, aren't you, oh, I heard Chen Ying tell me about you, what about your brother, how is he...... People, if you don't get rid of bad things, they will rot into the bones, and if the bones are rotten, you can still dig them out in pain, but if they rot to the heart, then there is no cure, and it will hurt people!" said the old woman.
When he heard these words from his aunt before, Zhao Manyan didn't care about it, but after something like that happened, listening to his aunt's words again, it was even more unpleasant in his heart.
Perhaps, as my aunt said, Zhao Youqian's habits have rotted to the heart, and he has only interests in his eyes, only himself, no humanity, no family affection.
"Aren't you here for the Demon Crown?" asked Chen Ying.
"Yes, I thought it was the exclusive news we got, but how did we know that as soon as we came to Yantai, the hunters on the street were all over, and the price of the hotel had tripled!" Mo Fan complained.
"Then you can stay with me and my grandmother, I'll go and clean up for you, and put your things in the hall. Chen Ying is very happy, it is true that no one has come to see her for a long time, although she lives very comfortably here, and gradually forgets about those, but there are some lonely people who have no friends of the same age.
"Aren't you studying magic now?" Mo Fan felt that Chen Ying's cultivation had not changed, so he asked.
Chen Ying shook her head and said: "There is no end to cultivation, for my current strength is enough, and I don't want to fight and kill, I will be very happy to help the Penglai Magic Association teach those newly awakened juniors." If you can't be a great man, it's very good to be a great teacher!"
Mo Fan found that Chen Ying seemed to have changed a lot in her temperament, in the past, she still had a little pride, with a little blind heart full of pursuit of everything, but now she seems to know what she wants, such as a unique fragrance of the orchid, blooming quietly.
It's no wonder that the old woman misunderstood that they were those bastard boys who came to pursue Chen Ying at first, such Chen Ying was indeed more attractive than before.
"Actually, we have other things to do here, and the demon crown is just to make some extra money by the way. Zhao Manyan said.
The totem matter is a big deal after all, Master Yu is reluctant to let anyone come into contact with the Moon Moth Phoenix, and they who have been injured are wary of everything after all, which is understandable, but Mo Fan and Zhao Manyan both believe that if they can find other totem beasts, their symbolic vessels will be released with more powerful power!
Zhao Manyan has already been confirmed by Zhao Manyan from his subordinates, and Mo Fan is absolutely convinced.
"Auntie, you've lived here for so long, have you ever seen this pattern, a very old one...... It has something to do with some kind of ancient creature. Zhao Manyan said, handing the imprint deduced by Mo Fan to the old woman.
The old woman opened her eyes, and at first she looked very lazy, but when she saw the picture on them, her eyes shook violently, as if an extremely shocking memory was pouring into her mind, making her body tremble slightly!
Mo Fan and Ling Ling glanced at each other.
This old grandmother seems to recognize this totem mark!!
Then this once again confirms that the deduction formula of the totem mark is correct, subtract the feather totem mark from the moon moth phoenix, and that is another totem beast!!
Moreover, this totem beast is really in Penglai, at least the old grandmother has definitely seen it before!!
