Chapter 54: The Harvest in the Secret Chamber

"Don't lose the name of wealth......"

The bustling streets were full of people, well-dressed pedestrians, and rickshaw drivers everywhere were constantly coming and going, standing in front of the magnificent building of Yuantong Caixing, Yue Zheng couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

Yuantong Caixing has a five-storey building, which can be said to be the tallest building he has seen in the world at present, and after he walked into the door of Caixing under the bowing of the doorman, the spacious lobby was brightly lit, and the brightly dressed people were ushered in, and the huge crystal chandelier above his head radiated a golden light, which made Yue Zheng deeply feel a golden taste.

Although electricity has appeared in this grotesque world, it is far from being popularized, but the lights are always on in the Yuantong Wealth Bank even during the day, which shows that the wealth is abundant.

The target group of this world's financial bank is obviously not civilians, the people who come and go in the hall are dressed as either rich or expensive, Yue Zheng was still looking, a man wearing a black robe who looked like a receptionist walked over, looked at Yue Zheng, whose mental temperament was obviously not an ordinary person, and asked politely:

"Do you need anything?"

Yue Zheng's eyes moved: "Where is your secret pavilion?"

The Secret Pavilion of Finance is a secret that is not open to ordinary people, and the man who received it said with some surprise:

"This guest, the secret pavilion of the financial bank is not open to the public, and will not accept strangers of unknown origin, you need to provide your identity certificate, as well as a deposit bill of more than 1,000 silver dollars in the bank, to be eligible to be received by the secret pavilion. ”

And this kind of statement?

Ghost Fang didn't mention these yesterday, and Yue Zheng frowned.

The man who received the reception hurriedly explained: "Please don't misunderstand, this is the rule of all financial practices, and it is also to try to avoid some chickens and dogs from taking advantage of loopholes, please forgive me." ”

Chickens and dogs are thieves...... For example, ghosts and gods?

Yue Zheng probably understood the purpose of the Secret Pavilion to set up such rules, he thought about it, took out the Demon Slayer waist card he carried with him, and then took out a silver dollar with a face value of 1,000 to redeem it: "Is this okay?"

"So you're a demon slayer?"

Seeing the delicate waist card in Yue Zheng's hand, the man who received him let out a low voice, and his ordinary and polite expression suddenly became enthusiastic:

"It's okay, it's okay, it's okay to have this waist card of yours!"

As he spoke, he hurriedly stretched out his hand to the leftmost staircase and said, "Please come with me!"

Yue Zheng put away his waist card and bills, followed the other party up the stairs, and went up to the fifth floor in a row, and then came to a secret and elegant room in the deepest part of the world.

"Please wait. ”

After pouring the tea, the man who led the way left in a hurry, and not long after, in a crisp footsteps, a woman wearing a cheongsam, a slender figure and a dignified temperament walked in and smiled at Yue Zheng:

"Hello guest, I'm Wen Wan, one of the stewards of the Secret Pavilion, I heard from the reception that you are a demon slayer, can you show me your waist card?"

The woman in front of her was elegant and moving, her voice was pleasant, her eyes were demure and attentive, and she seemed to be a practitioner of the breathing method, Yue Zheng was not impatient, and immediately took out the waist card and handed it over again:

"What, are you worried I'm a fake?"

After taking the waist card in her hand and examining it carefully, the woman named Wen Wan handed the waist card back and smiled apologetically:

"Please don't mind, guest. There have also been cases of people forging the Demon Slayer's waist card, so we have to be cautious. ”

Is there such a thing?

Yue Zheng raised his eyebrows, feeling very interesting.

Demon slayer is a group with an extremely special status in the country, pretending to be a demon slayer is undoubtedly a very serious crime, and the demon slayer's waist cards are specially made, it is easy to distinguish the authenticity from the fake, and the person who forges the waist card to make money can be said to be bold and stupid.

"Please keep it. Wen Wan didn't continue the topic, after she handed back the waist card, she asked straight to the point: "What do you need to come to the Secret Pavilion?" The conversation that happened here will be kept absolutely confidential, and you can rest assured that you can bring it up. ”

"Secret Book!"

There has been no problem with the credit of the Secret Pavilion, and Yue Zheng said directly:

"I've heard from my colleague that you also have a secret book of exercises, so I'm going to take a look at it. ”

"Secret book, please wait. ”

Wen Wan was obviously a little surprised, but she didn't ask Yue Zheng at all how she came to a place like Caixing to buy a secret book, and immediately walked out of the door, rang the bell, and seemed to have a few words with someone.

After a while, a middle-aged man with a cold temperament and a powerful martial force appeared outside the door, carrying an iron bookcase and walked in, and then Wen Wan and the man took out a key at the same time and opened the iron bookcase.

Yue Zheng glanced at it, there was a thin stack of books lying in the bookcase, which was obviously the secret book of the exercises he was seeking, his eyes lit up slightly, and he immediately asked, "Can I take a look?"

The secret book of the exercises is full of complex diagrams and mental annotations, and it is impossible for a person who is well-read and memorized to write them down accurately, so Wen Wan smiled indifferently: "Of course you can." ”

Yue Zheng immediately took out the secret books in the bookcase and looked through them one by one.

"Demon Sword", "Thunder Cannon Fist", "Cloud Wandering Fantasy", "Cave Golden Finger Sword", "Luo Jia Sanshou", "Heart-Destroying Palm", "King Kong Finger Claw", "Bagua Wandering Dragon Step", a total of eight secret books were displayed in front of his eyes.

Six ways to play, two ways to kill, two ways to play. Unlike the Demon Eradication Hall, these secret books have no explanation and experience, and with Yue Zheng's insight, he can't see the advantages and disadvantages of these secret books in a short time. The first thing that made him pay more attention was that it was possible to make up for his shortcomings, that is, the pace and body style that would increase the agility attributes.

Yue Zheng flipped through it briefly and couldn't help asking, "Is that all?"

"I'm sorry, but Caixing is not a spiritual institution after all, and the different branches are operated independently. The sources of the secret books of our Huaran County Secret Pavilion are basically pawns and mortgages from local folk cultivators, so that's all there is to it. ”

Wen Wan couldn't help but remind:

"Since you are from the Demon Exorcism Hall, then I still need to remind you that although these secret books from folk cultivators have been confirmed to be true and valid by our evaluation, most of them are difficult to compare with the practice secret books that have been perfected by demon slaying institutions for generations in terms of quality, unless necessary, we do not recommend you to buy these secret books for cultivation. ”

"I understand that I didn't buy it to practice for myself, just to run errands for others. ”

Wen Wan's words can be said to be very frank, and Ghost Tooth has also said similar things, Yue Zheng was not surprised, and then dealt with it.

The Demon Eradication Association is the largest practitioner organization in the new country, whether it is the breathing method, the secret book of the exercises, or the auxiliary medicine and secret medicine used in the practice, the resource conditions are not comparable to the people. After generations of demon exterminators have summarized, selected, and perfected, the secret books of the exercises in the demon exterminator hall are obviously superior to those of the people.

But now that the crisis is present, he needs to improve his strength as much as possible to deal with the powerful enemies hidden in the shadows, and there is no room for picking and choosing for the time being.

Thinking of this, he put down the secret book in his hand: "Since you have evaluated these secret books, which one is the highest quality and the most expensive?"

"Gossip and dragon steps. ”

Yue Zheng's voice fell, and the indifferent man who had not spoken suddenly said in the secret book next to him:

"This secret book was circulated by the core disciples of Fengyun County's Bagua Liudao Hall after it was seized because of fornicating with ghosts and gods. The Bagua Liudao Hall is very famous in Fengyun County, with thousands of students, and Bagua Walking is one of its signature skills. Among the secret books that our Secret Pavilion has, he is of the highest quality and value, even if it is brought to your Demon Eradication Hall, it is not necessarily much inferior. ”

"Oh?"

Footwork and body method are undoubtedly what they lack, and hearing that the origin of this "Bagua Dragon Walk" is not small, Yue Zheng's eyes suddenly lit up:

"What else?"

"If you go down the line, it is "Thunder Cannon Fist" and "Dongjin Finger Sword". ”

The indifferent man said hardly:

"Thunder Cannon Fist" pays attention to rapidity, explosion, punching like cannonballing, but the disadvantage is that it consumes a lot of energy;

These two secret books have their own advantages and disadvantages, but aside from the disadvantages, the lethality is no worse than the basic secret book of your Demon Eradication Hall. As for the other secret books, although the names are decent, they are all low-level goods, so there is no need to waste time. ”

This guy is too sincere, right?

As soon as the cold man said this, Wen Wan smiled helplessly, and Yue Zheng couldn't help but laugh dumbly in his heart.

But the man's words also hit his heart. The better the quality of the Gongfa Tantra, the higher the physical fitness attribute of the increase. With the Mandate Point so scarce, he naturally wanted to use good steel on the blade.

So after thinking about it, he picked up the two secret books of "Bagua Wandering Dragon Step" and "Thunder Cannon Fist" and asked:

"How much do I have to pay if I want these two copies?"

"Bagua Wandering Dragon Step" naturally goes without saying, the quality is the highest, and it just makes up for his shortcomings. At the same time, he lacked the means to fight the enemy with his bare hands, so he excluded "Dongjin Finger Sword", which felt that the painting style was a bit of a sissy, and chose "Thunder Cannon Fist", which sounded very powerful.

That's right, his selection criteria are so unpretentious.

"Have you already chosen?"

Unexpectedly, Yue Zheng made a decision so quickly, Wen Wan was surprised, and then said:

""Thunder Cannon Fist" is worth 1,500 silver dollars, and "Bagua Swimming" is worth 3,000 silver dollars, because of your identity as a demon slayer, I can give you a discount and erase the change, so you only need to pay 4,000 silver dollars. ”

Why does this cost 4,000 silver dollars?

An official demon slayer risked life and death for two years without eating or drinking to save so much, Yue Zheng's eyelids suddenly jumped, and he frowned:

"There is such a thing as a secret book, you can't learn it by buying it, and your secret pavilion has already sold these secret books many times, right, why is it so expensive?"

Caixing and the Secret Pavilion have existed for a long time, and it is obviously impossible for him to be the first person to come to the door to buy secret books, thinking that these secret books have been sold by the other party more than once, and the price is so high in this case, it is really a bit of a black heart.

"Please don't get me wrong, it's not like our lion is opening his mouth and deliberately stealing customers. In fact, if it weren't for your status as a demon slayer, our offer would have been even higher. ”

Gently and apologetically explained:

"The price you're giving you now may be a little premium, but overall it's definitely worth the value of the secret book. The reason why the pricing is on the high side is that it is difficult to guarantee that the customers who buy will not pass on the secret book. If it's possible for more than one person to practice a secret book, do you still think it's expensive?"

I see......

Yue Zheng immediately understood what Wen Wan meant.

Unlike a highly binding organization like the Demon Elimination Hall, it is impossible for the Treasury Cabinet to control and monitor the people who buy the secret book at all times, so they tacitly assume that the purchaser will have the possibility of spreading the word or even benefiting from it, so they simply make a one-shot deal.

However, of course, Yue Zheng was not willing to be slaughtered like this, he claimed that he needed to discuss with the real buyer and then got up to say goodbye, and went to Xinbao and Providence, and then found that the secret books of the exercises collected in their secret pavilion were basically the same as those of Yuantong Fortune, and even the price was not much worse.

Knowing that this was an evil capital monopoly, Yue Zheng reluctantly exerted his incorruptible tongue and began to think of ways to kill the starting price one by one.

And after a tug-of-war that lasted for several hours, in the afternoon, he successfully killed the price of 3,000 silver dollars in Wen Wan's place to reach the lowest price of the three, and there was no room for any decline.

In the end, Yue Zheng paid three financial bank bills of 1,000 silver dollars in Yuantong Finance Bank, successfully reached a deal, and left with the two secret books of "Running Thunder Cannon Fist" and "Bagua Traveling Dragon Step".
