Chapter 28 Flower Street

Two days later, Shi Yan and his party arrived at the Great City of Strange Stones. The large and small post stations were scattered outside the city, and the whole city was crowded with outsiders, and all caravans had to enter on foot, and the vendors' stalls had been set up outside the city.

Shi Yan watched people come and go, and it took him half a day to enter the big city. Shi Yan only knew that it was very lively, but he didn't expect it to be so lively that there was not even a place to plug in. There are large and small caravans of the country of stones, as well as some caravans that are not the country of stones, and people come and go, and the cries are endless.

"Aruth, why are those people wearing big hats to cover their faces?" Shi Yan looked at some vendors and asked.

"They do it to protect themselves, and the people who usually cover their faces are usually vendors who sell some valuable treasures, or they may be cultivators, and they don't want to be targeted, so they hide themselves when they sell their goods, and when they return to the crowd, they will show their true colors," Arus said.

"This little brother seems to have experience, yes, they hide themselves too much to reduce trouble, people are unpredictable, and there are many people who want to get something for nothing," Chairman Kim said.

"I see, Arus, let's take a look and see if there's anything for us," Shi Yan said.

"Yes," Arus laughed.

"No hurry, no hurry," Chairman Kim stopped.

Shi Yan and Arus looked at the president, and Chairman Kim just smiled faintly, suggesting that the two of them should not say more, and the two of them would silently follow Chairman Kim until they walked to an inn.

"Ouch, isn't this Chairman Kim?" The innkeeper said.

"Hehe, it's been a long time since I've seen the boss, but it's been good lately," Chairman Kim smiled with a clenched fist.

"TOEFL, it's okay," the shopkeeper said, his eyes fell on the four children, especially Shi Yan.

"This time I came in a hurry, I met a few old sons on the way, is there any room available here for the shopkeeper?" Chairman Kim asked.

"Yes, yes, the rooms and shops of several of your presidents are kept, and a few of them have come one after another in the past few days, it's just~" The shopkeeper said, suddenly stopped, and glanced at Chairman Jin.

Chairman Kim understood that the boss had something to say privately, so he smiled and followed the shopkeeper to the back hall. As soon as he entered the back hall, the boss pulled Chairman Kim, looking like he was overjoyed to reunite with old friends, and sat at the table to talk about the past.

"Shopkeeper, what's so tense?" Chairman Kim asked.

"In recent days, we have received news that many caravans have been attacked in the country of Ishino, and it is said that several guild leaders have been killed," said the shopkeeper.

"Huh?" Chairman Kim, Shi Yan and the others all exclaimed.

Saying this, the two orphans of President Qian suddenly seemed to remember something and began to tremble slightly, and the shopkeeper frowned and looked at Chairman Kim.

"What? Could it be that you have been attacked too," the shopkeeper asked.

"Little brother Shiyan, I have something to talk to the shopkeeper, please take a few people to the guest room to wait for me first," Chairman Kim said.

Shi Yan understood, and after a glance at Arus, he took the two orphans of President Qian out of the room, and the owner of the inn arranged for the shopkeeper to send a few people away, and immediately closed the door of the room.

~~~~~

At night, the strange stone city was still full of people, and Shi Yan couldn't concentrate on cultivation at all, even if the windows were closed, he couldn't hide the sound outside. Shi Yan couldn't imagine that the difference between this big city and a small town was so big, even at night, the streets were still brightly lit and full of people. In desperation, Shi Yan had to give up his practice, and it was rare to enter the city.

"Senior brother, President Kim told us to go to his room for dinner," Arus shouted outside the door.

In fact, Arus and Shi Yan lived in the same room, but when Alus came to the big city, it was like going back to his own home, and he didn't have the heart to practice at all.

"Okay, hehe, can you still eat" Shi Yan opened the door and smiled.

"Don't worry, I'm in a bottomless pit," Arus laughed.

Look at Pucci again, got out of Arus's back basket, patted his bulging belly, since he still had a full burp, Shi Yan was very strange at first, why did this little guy also eat fireworks in the world, and later I found out that it was because he hadn't eaten it before, to put it bluntly, Pucci ate everything, but only the best. The two of them cleaned up and went to Chairman Kim's room, only Chairman Kim and the two of them.

"Sit down," Chairman Kim said with a warm smile.

Chairman Jin is particularly enthusiastic about Shi Yan, but Shi Yan has always been a little uncomfortable, looking at the table of dishes prepared by Chairman Jin, it is extremely exquisite, and he specially opened a room to entertain the two of them. In Shi Yan's eyes, Chairman Jin was a little too polite, but in Chairman Jin's eyes, these were nothing. But anyone with some eyes can see that Shi Yan is a talent that can be created, plus President Wan appreciates him, President Jin will naturally not let go of this opportunity, don't look at it as a child, the so-called friendship should be made as soon as possible, when Shi Yan is really great, I am afraid that 100 meals will not be able to exchange this friend.

"Puff~Puff~" Pucci got out of the bamboo building behind Arus, and followed Arus for a day, since he hadn't eaten enough, he looked east and west in the room, and finally brought out a bottle of water from Chairman Kim's baggage, and drank it.

"I'm sorry, Chairman Kim, Pucci may not have eaten enough," Shi Yan said embarrassedly.

"Puff~Puff~" Pucci shouted.

Looking at Shi Yan and throwing the bamboo tube aside, Shi Yan looked at the bamboo tube and saw that the bamboo tube was empty, he didn't expect this little guy to have such a big appetite, and what was even more strange was that it always ordered no matter how much it ate.

"Don't get in the way, don't get in the way, this little mountain spirit is willing to drink my water, that's giving me face for Kim," Chairman Kim said.

"Hehe, President, you are really good at talking" Shi Yan said with a smile. I'm looking at Arus, now that I've started eating.

"Oh, it's just a few bottles of water, let it go, you have heard about the daytime today, the world is getting more and more unpeaceful, and the life of the presidents will be sad in the future," Chairman Kim said with a smile.

"I don't know what the shopkeeper said?" Shi Yan asked.

"Alas, it is said that the death of several guild presidents is related to a group of demon beasts, and there are traces of being eaten after death, the scene is extremely bloody and cruel, let us recruit a few reliable fighters or mages in the strange stone city, otherwise we may also encounter accidents" After President Jin finished speaking, he sighed.

"Did you say what kind of demon beast did it?" Shi Yan asked.

"Not yet, but this incident has alarmed the Rock Army, and it is said that the Monarch has sent people to investigate, and I believe that news will be available soon," said Chairman Kim.

"Alas~" Shi Yan sighed.

"Okay, okay, let's not talk about that, eat early, we have business tonight," Arus said with a mouth full of stuffing.

"Business?" Shi Yan said curiously.

"Hehehe, if you want to talk about cultivation, you are higher than Arus, but if you want to talk about experience, it is less than one-tenth of Arus, in fact, the chamber of commerce during the day is all an illusion, although the things are good, but compared to the transactions in the night market after the night, it is really insignificant" Chairman Jin smiled.

"Where is the night market?" Shi Yan asked.

"Flower Street," Chairman Kim and Arus laughed at the same time.

~~~~~

Flower Street, literally, is considered to be a place of red lights and willows, but in fact it is not, this street is the most prosperous street in the strange stone city, there is no one. The day here is unremarkable, but at night, when the lanterns are lit, it is the time when the flower street really welcomes customers, and the colorful lights illuminate the whole street, gorgeous and solemn. It is worth mentioning that there is a young woman in each store, each of them is graceful, beautiful, and the appearance is even more amazing, these women are quietly selected by the owners of each store, which is one of the characteristics of Flower Street. Don't think they're dusty women just because they're standing in front of the store, you're very wrong. They all have great backgrounds, and they all have their own unique skills, but if you have the slightest hint of lightness, the consequences will be unimaginable.

The girls are not very old, they are all between 18-20 years old, which is the age of ignorance and shyness. The girls here only wear cheongsam, dignified and elegant, down and generous, combined with the ******** figure, the white jade legs looming on both sides do give people a fascinating illusion.

"It's beautiful," Shi Yan said.

Looking at the street in front of you, the neat shops on both sides, the corners in front of you, and the smiles and smiles of the girls all seem to be carefully designed. The whole street is very clean, and each shop is neatly placed, combined with this group of beautiful and moving young women, so that people who enter the flower street are refreshed all of a sudden, and they walk cautiously.

"It's really beautiful," Arus said.

Of course, the beauty in his eyes is the same as the beauty in the eyes of most people, and it is all fixed on the body of that girl.

"Don't look around, these girls have a lot of backgrounds, and you can't afford to offend," Chairman Kim whispered.

"You mean this group of big sisters?" Shi Yan asked.

"Huh, big sister?" Chairman Kim smiled and said, "It's indeed a big sister for you, do you know what these big sisters are?" ”

"I don't know," Shi Yan smiled embarrassedly.

"Flower Street, it seems to be a place to have fun, but it is secretly controlled by the eight families, it is a huge underground trading place, and all the shops along the street in front of you are owned by the eight families, but the eight old men behind the scenes, it is said that they have lived in seclusion, and they are all one of the top two powerhouses on the mainland, and they have no time to take care of these small families on weekdays, and they are all taken care of by their descendants," Chairman Jin said.

"Eight families?" Shi Yan said.

"I know this," Arus said with a smile, "The names of the Eight Great Families are not only resounding in the Stone Country, but also in other countries, and it is said that their ancestors were all the founding heroes of the Stone Country, there were 10 at that time, and later it is said that two of them were missing, and there are now the Eight Great Families," Arus said.

"You know that, too?" Shi Yan pouted and said.

"Hehe, it's true, but you keep quiet, it's all their eyeliner here, I can hear that as long as you are a strong person or a wealthy businessman in the mainland, as long as you step into the strange stone city, there will be news to Huajie immediately," Chairman Jin said.

"Really?" Arus asked.

"Hehe, that sounds very bluffing, isn't it?" Shi Yan said with a smile.

"Hmm," Chairman Kim's face changed slightly, "You two little devils, I dare to talk nonsense, I can talk nonsense about these things, maybe you have been targeted by them," Chairman Kim said.

"Puff~" Pucci's voice came from behind Arus.

"You can be wronged," Arus said, "I can't carry the bamboo building in, you can hide for a while."

"Puff," Pucci exclaimed dissatisfied.

"Hehe, or I'll carry it for a while," Shi Yan said with a smile.

"You have a conscience," Pucci said, and suddenly got behind Shi Yan.

"Puff" Pucci saw a space stone ring from Shi Yan, and since he got into it.

"Alas," Arus shouted, looking at the spatial stone ring of Stone Rock.

"So it can go in?" Shi Yan was stunned.

"Hehe, it's an elf, your ring is made of space stones, although the space is small, but it should be enough to accommodate the little mountain spirit, don't worry, this may be safer" Chairman Jin smiled.

"You said it earlier, I've been carrying a basket for the past few days, and I'm walking like a fool," said Arus.

"I didn't know that Pucci could enter the ring, oops, oops, Shimizu Dan," Shi Yan said.

"Hiccup~" There was a full hiccup sound as of now~

"Well," Arus said, glancing at his lips, "those medicines are not cheap, this meal has eaten our rations for several months".

"Forget it, let's buy it again," Shi Yan said.

The three of them talked and laughed and began to wander around the flower street, and there were fewer and fewer people on the road, only to see that the people on the road entered the shops, but I don't know why, these people only entered and could not leave, resulting in fewer and fewer people on the street.

"What about people?" Shi Yan said curiously.

"Don't ask me, I know about the black market, but I used to go in blindfolded, and I don't know what the rules are," Arus said.

"In this case, you can go shopping with me first, this is not a place to talk, and you will know the rules when you are done," Chairman Kim said.

"Oh, okay" Shi Yan and Arus nodded.

The three of them randomly found a shop, and when they entered the shop, Shi Yan looked at nothing special, a few shelves, a table, a few chairs, a few calligraphy and paintings with a unique flavor, these are very ordinary, it seems that every shop is the same, only to see a girl walking gently and smiling.

"Welcome to the Strange Stone Chamber of Commerce, this is a small ancient shop, please follow me," the girl said.

"Okay," Chairman Kim said.

Shi Yan and Arus followed Chairman Kim, and the girl walked to an antique shelf, and lightly buckled it three times, and the antique shelf slowly opened, and another hut appeared inside, and an old man stood in it, except for a table and a chair, there was a stone door on the wall.

"Please," the girl said, holding out her hand.

"Trouble," Chairman Kim said, pulling out four silver crystals and handing them to the girl.

Shi Yan and Arus looked at it, and it was 1 silver crystal, 100 copper crystals, and 1,000 iron crystals.

"Thank you, Chairman Kim, for the tip," the girl smiled again.

Shi Yan and Arus were both stunned, they didn't understand what it meant, and they took 4 silver spars to reward a girl, what a big deal this is.

"Several, this is your stone tablet, please take good care of it" The old man handed the three stone tablets to Chairman Kim.

"I'm tired," Chairman Jin said, and took out a silver spar and gave it to the old man.

"Thank you, Chairman Kim, for the reward, three please," the old man also smiled slightly.

Chairman Kim pasted the stone tablet in his hand into a groove next to the stone gate, the stone gate glowed slightly, President Kim strode into the stone gate, and after the stone gate lit up slightly, it returned to its ordinary appearance.

"What's the situation?" Arus asked.

"Shhhh

The two of them looked back at the old man, the old man just looked at them with a smile, Shi Yan strode forward, and also put the stone plaque into the groove like President Jin, the stone gate really lit up, looking at the stone gate in front of him suddenly glowing, Shi Yan was a little nervous, but he still strode over~

The sudden light made Shi Yan feel the white expanse in front of him, and when he opened his eyes again, everything in front of him suddenly opened up. At this moment, Shi Yan stood on a high step, looking at the bustling crowd around him, there were no buildings here, there were just small stalls with individual ingenuity, and the stall owners surrounded the items in a circle and sat in the middle of the stalls. Moreover, the stall owners here are all dressed in various colored robes and cover their faces with large brims.

"Hehe, how about it, it's spectacular," Chairman Kim said with a smile.

"Huh~" The stone behind him lit up slightly, and Arus appeared behind Shi Yan.

"Don't be surprised, you guys come with me," Chairman Kim said.

Shi Yan and Arus followed Chairman Kim down the stairs and into the crowd.

"I was outside just now, so it was inconvenient to talk, but when I entered here, I was a guest and I could talk freely," said Chairman Kim with a smile.

"Where is this? How could it suddenly become so spacious," Shi Yan wondered.

"This place is called a different dimension, and it is a space created by the eight major families, and the two realms are teleported through the teleportation stone. In order to ensure the absolute security and privacy of buyers and sellers," said Chairman Kim.

"How big is the alien space?" Shi Yan asked.

"This, it's hard to say, in short, it can't go to the end, but to open up this place, you need at least two Level 1 Venerables, as for how to open it, it's not clear, in short, what you are talking about is the black market in your mouth, you can buy anything you want here" Chairman Jin said with a smile.

"Wow~" Arus exclaimed.

"Do you need the strength of a level 1 venerable, amazing, then the 5 silver crystals before you are the ticket?" Shi Yan asked.

"Sort of, 3 silver spars are tickets, those two are rewards, this is the rule here, that's just a small amount of money, everything here is recorded, the rules are very simple, enter this space just to pick the items you want, but the items can't be taken away, you can only take bamboo sticks, each booth has a number, the number of bamboo sticks is not limited, there will be an auction after tomorrow night, the auction will display items that are not stalls, only the businessman with the bamboo stick is eligible to bid, and in the end the highest price will be the one who wins," said Chairman Kim.

"It's the hardest trade I've ever heard of in my life," Arus said.

"Hehe, you don't understand, many sellers don't dare to sell if they have good things, I have seen a multicolored divine stone here before," Chairman Jin said.

"Huh??" Shi Yan and Arus were surprised.

"What? Did you know? Chairman Kim asked.

"Oh no, I don't know," Shi Yan laughed.

"The auction looks like a hassle, but it also saves the buyers a lot of trouble, and no one knows who the buyers are except for the owner of the space, otherwise if you walk on the mainland with a stone, you may be wiped out one day," said Chairman Kim.

"It's really troublesome, even if you like it, if you don't beat the others at the auction, then you still can't get it," Shi Yan said.

"This is the black market," Chairman Kim laughed.
