Chapter 168: The Purple Family Caravan

Caravanserans, an organization that has existed since ancient times. Pen ~ fun ~ Ge www.biquge.info In the beginning, what the caravan did was to buy the specialties of some regions at a low price, and through a long period of freight, they arrived in another area, and sold these specialties that were not available in the local area at a high price, so as to make profits. The presence of caravans is a good thing for almost everyone, being able to taste the food from all over the world and see the wonderful utensils from all over the world without leaving their homes, and for most people who have only stayed in one city all their lives, this is their only chance to contact the world.

And even if it is a cultivator who is very different from mortals, if it is not a Venerable who cultivates to the heavens and can fold the space and teleport at will, I am afraid that the vast majority of them will only shrink into a city, or an area. After all, the amount of gold required for the teleportation array was so much that it was unlikely that any ordinary cultivator would spend his life savings to move to another unfamiliar city and start all over again.

And a caravan, any merchant who is only interested in profit will also not choose to use the teleportation array to trade.

Depending on the distance, the teleportation array charges differently. If you teleport to a city that is less than 100,000 miles away like Great Domain City, the teleportation fee is 100,000 gold coins, and this is only within 100,000 miles.

If the distance exceeds 100,000 li, every time it exceeds 100,000 li, the price will be doubled, and the Eastern Regions Continent, as one of the four continents of the Absolute God Continent, has a vast area, not to mention 100,000 li, even tens of thousands of miles may not be able to encompass its vastness. If you want to teleport from the extreme west of the Eastern Continent to the extreme east, roughly calculated, I am afraid that the teleportation cost will be at least more than 10 million.

A cultivator caravan does not need to be packed in large bags and small packages like a mortal caravan, but only needs to place items in a storage ring, so everyone travels lightly. Advancing at full speed, a normal caravan of cultivators, cultivated above the Gathering Spirit Realm, I am afraid that it can travel thousands of miles in one day, and 100,000 miles can be easily reached in just over a month. (Fengchen and others belong to the big team to move forward slowly, and they will advance thousands of miles at most a day)

If the caravan's storage ring is infinite, then teleporting in a teleportation array is understandable. But it's a pity that the caravan cultivator's storage rings or storage bags can't have much volume, and it's already the limit that each person can load more than 100 cubic meters of things, and how many goods can be loaded with more than 100 cubic meters? Even if all of them are loaded with fourth-grade ores or fourth-level medicinal materials, as well as other messy specialties, I'm afraid that they will earn tens of thousands of gold coins by directly reselling them.

Of course, tens of thousands of gold coins are definitely not less, don't you see that Leng Tomb and Shi Yu worked hard to do mercenary tasks, and the savings they have saved for two or three years are only 200,000 gold coins, and one person can earn tens of thousands of gold coins by running a business, and there are dozens of people in a caravan, and there are at least one million gold coins at a time, although the cycle is slightly longer, and it may take several months to earn each income, but in the long run, it is definitely a profiteering business.

Not to mention using a high-grade storage ring, loading a bunch of goods to sell through the teleportation array, being able to have a storage ring with a volume of more than 10,000 cubic meters, at least it is close to the existence of the Venerable, such a character running to the merchant is inevitably a bit overkill.

Moreover, although the merchant says that the more things you can transport, the better, it does not mean that the things that can be transported are endless. Ore mining, drug cultivation, and specialty product acquisition are all cyclical, and it is just right to run once every few months.

If you use the high-grade storage ring area to run a business, although it will be much easier in terms of manpower and material resources, compared to the income of more than 1 million gold coins each time, 100,000 gold coins is already equivalent to a large expenditure.

What's more, the place where you need to run every time is not necessarily only 100,000 miles, but often hundreds of thousands of miles away. Although it would take several months, it would save hundreds of thousands of gold coins, and it would be worth the risk for the caravan. Moreover, this time also depends on the cultivation level of the runner's team, and the Spirit Gathering Realm can be achieved in a few months, and if the level is higher, the time can be shortened exponentially. (It's a bit wordy, explain the rationality of the existence of the caravan, otherwise there is a teleportation array, there are storage equipment, and the existence of the caravan is really a bit chicken)

A famous person once said, "There is no road on this earth, but when many people walk, it becomes a road." (Don't ask me which celebrity said it, anyway, I don't know) caravan runners naturally have to follow a familiar and safe route, and over time, the so-called trade routes will also appear on the Eastern Continent.

The trade route, as the name suggests, is the road traveled by the caravan when it runs the merchant, because the caravan is conducive to the exchange and development of materials in the Eastern Continent, and the various sects, sects, and even mercenary guilds attach great importance to the caravan.

Not to mention that they had some caravans within themselves, or some famous caravans were actually controlled by them, so the safety of every trade route was jointly guaranteed by these behemoths involved.

Every trade route meant a match of wealth, and over time, the ownership of the trade route became a concern for many caravans. If a trade route belongs to a caravan, it means that the benefits of this trade route completely belong to this caravan, and the benefits are naturally needless to say, it is a shining gold coin!

It is precisely because of so many benefits that every trade route has become a battleground for caravans. Grabbing land depends on the size of the fist, this sentence is very useful at any time, the larger the scale and power of the caravan, the more trade routes it occupies, and the more profits it will make, which is almost as common sense as a mortal eating and sleeping in the minds of the cultivators who run the business.

So, how many trade routes are there in the Eastern Continent, and which forces occupy them?

Although the Eastern Continent is vast, the total number of trade routes is not so much, even in this land of tens of millions of miles, there are only more than a thousand unrelated trade routes. Among them, the caravan that occupies the largest number of trade routes is deservedly the caravan belonging to the mercenary guild: the world caravan, which occupies a total of one hundred and eight main trade routes out of more than a thousand trade routes.

Although it is said that a trade route can be formed, the interests involved in it will not be too bad, but among the more than 1,000 trade routes, it is absolutely impossible to say that each one is similar, and there are naturally good and bad.

Trade routes with a profit of more than 1 million gold coins are collectively referred to as lower-level trade routes, and the distance of the general route does not exceed 100,000 li. Trade routes with a profit of more than two million and less than three million are called intermediate trade routes, and the distance of the route is generally within hundreds of thousands of miles. Trade routes with a profit of more than 3 million and less than 5 million are called high-class trade routes, and the distance is hundreds of thousands of miles to more than one million miles. And the trade routes that made a profit of more than five million, collectively known as the golden trade routes, were only eighteen in the entire Eastern Continent, and the distance was millions of miles.

Among them, the one hundred and eight trade routes occupied by the Mercenary Guild, as a fraction of eight, are the desirable golden trade routes. Of the remaining 100, 30 were high-level trade routes, 70 were intermediate-level trade routes, and none of them were low-level trade routes.

These one hundred and eight trade routes alone occupy almost half of the economic lifeline of the entire Eastern Continent, and only the Mercenary Guild can do this, and other caravans don't have to think about it.

In addition to the 108 trade routes occupied by the caravans of the world, the remaining more than 1,000 trade routes were jointly controlled by more than 100 caravans, large and small. The popular caravan, second only to the caravan in the world, occupies fifty-four trade routes, and the force that supports it is the first sect of the mainland's orthodox, the Ten Thousand Swords Divine Sect. Even a weak caravan with only more than a thousand people, it only occupies a low-level trade route, but it is at least supported by a force that is not weak, even if there is no strong person at the Venerable level, it is not far behind.

Of course, this does not mean that there are no independent caravans that occupy the trade routes, but after all, they are in the minority.

In the face of caravans supported by major sects, these independent caravans are really too far behind at the master level, and their background is far inferior to that of the other party.

The Purple Family Caravan is one of the very few independent caravans, and it is also the most powerful of the independent caravans that occupy the trade routes. The Purple Family Caravan occupies a total of twelve trade routes, one is a high-level trade route, four is an intermediate trade route, and the rest is a low-level trade route, and it is not attached to any force, but only friendly with some major sects.

Twelve trade routes, although compared with the fifty-four and one hundred and eight caravans of the popular caravans, are too far behind, and among all the caravans with trade routes, this can only barely be ranked in the middle of the stream, but it should not be underestimated.

Because, the leader of the Purple Family Caravan turned out to be a Venerable.

Although it is only a new Venerable over the years, it is also a Venerable, it is standing on the Eastern Regions Continent, oh no, even if it is on the Absolute God Continent, it is also a column of people standing at the peak. is such a noble existence, and he is actually the leader of a midstream caravan, and this honor cannot be obtained even if it is the second-ranked popular caravan.

Even if it was a popular caravan, the leader was only a half-step Venerable, and he was 108,000 miles away from the true Venerable.

This is true for the second-ranked Windrun Caravan, let alone the lower-ranked Caravan. Among all the caravans, if only the strength of the caravan is used, I am afraid that only the caravan of the world belonging to the Mercenary Guild can overpower the Purple family caravan.

But what level of power is the Mercenary Guild and what level of power is the Purple Family Caravan? The two can be said to be different from each other, but they stand on the same level, which shows how shocking it is that the Purple Family Caravan has a Venerable.

It is precisely because the Purple Family Caravan has a Venerable that it can occupy so many trade routes, if it is really an independent caravan, I am afraid it would be good to be able to get two or three, how can it be ten figures?

Zi Ming, as a member of the Purple Family's caravan, was not one of the captains of the twelve caravanserais.

It was precisely because he was not one of the twelve people that Wang Ruochen and the three of them did not realize that Zi Ming was the person of the famous Purple Family Caravan. He just regarded him as a cultivator with advanced cultivation, and he didn't think about the Purple Family Caravan.

Zi Ming was not any of the captains of the twelve caravans, but his cultivation was higher than that of any of the captains of these teams, even Zi Yun, the captain of the first team in charge of high-level trade routes.

Zi Ming is not a member of any of the twelve caravans, but he has the strength to surpass any of them, just because he is the leader of the Purple Family Caravan, the only Venerable Zi Tian of the Purple Family, and the chief steward of the entire Purple Family's caravan.

After Zi Ming left the Mercenary Guild, he came to the plan with the young man shirt and agreed on the place where he would be given the real task. It's just that when he came here and saw the person who was in charge of greeting him, he was really taken aback.

Looking at the slightly younger face that looked a little similar to himself, Zi Ming suddenly felt in a trance, it was a majestic and resolute face, similar to his appearance, but with a completely different temperament.

If Ziming gives people the feeling of kindness and kindness, then the person in front of him is undoubtedly solemn and majestic.

It's just that in front of the solemn and majestic people, when they saw Ziming, a smile bloomed on their faces.

Who is this person in front of you? If this question is asked to the people of the Zi family caravan, I am afraid that everyone knows about it, and even the young man standing next to Zi Ming has a surprised look, as if he did not expect this person to appear here at all.

Who is he? He is the leader of the Purple Family's caravan, the only Achiever of the Purple Family, and he is also Zi Ming's younger brother, the head of the Purple Family, Zi Tian.

Zi Ming looked at Zi Tian who appeared here for some reason, and the corners of his eyes were a little moist.

He hadn't seen his younger brother Zitian for a few years, because the latter was the master of the Zi family's caravan and had to deal with countless things every day, while Zi Ming was on the run all year round in order to help Zitian, and the two brothers had little chance of meeting. And now, they met unexpectedly, which had to make Ziming so surprised that he was about to cry.

Seeing the smile on Zitian's resolute face, Zi Ming almost blurted out his younger brother, but he forcibly held back, bowed deeply to Zitian, and said, "Zi Ming has seen the head of the family!"

Seeing Zi Ming suddenly bend down, and then without waiting for himself to stop him, followed by another sentence "Zi Ming has seen the head of the family", the smile on Zi Tian's face suddenly faded a lot. It's not because of Ziming's anger, but because he reacted to his gaffe, quickly restrained the smile on his face, put on a majestic face, and said, "Well, how was this mission completed?"

As the two leaders of the Purple Family Caravan, even if they are brothers, the relationship between superiors and subordinates must be clearly distinguished, which is very clear to both Ziming and Zitian. Fang Cai had forgotten this for the time being because he hadn't seen him for a long time, and after being reminded by Zi Ming with his actions, considering that there were still ordinary members of the Zi family's caravan on both sides, Zi Tian must also have the appearance of the head of the family.

"Fortunately, the victory of this game has been won!" Zi Ming replied as he took out something from the storage ring, held it up with both hands, and handed it to Zi Tian.

"Haha, big. Zi Ming, you won this game, you won this game, plus the three games won by Ziyun Ziye Zi Lei, we have won four games in seven rounds, and although we have lost two games in the remaining three games, we will win even if we lose one more game!"

While being excited, he found that Zi Ming was still calm, as if he had something hidden in his heart, Zi Tian couldn't help asking, "Is there anything else you haven't said?" After all, it is a brother, Zi Tian understands that this is Zi Ming's posture of hiding things and wanting to say.

"Go home, don't hide it, the victory in this game is really a bit strange, and there are many doubts in it!" Hearing Zitian's inquiry, Zi Ming didn't hide it anymore, and told the doubts in his heart, expecting Zitian to give him an explanation.
