Except for the weakest Qu Kingdom and Beiling Kingdom, and the strongest Yue Kingdom.

The national strength of the other three countries is actually not much different, if you have to distinguish, the national strength of Donglin is second only to Yue. The state of Zhou came in third, followed by the state of Solo.

Liu Heng and An Ruyi sat on the "flying flowers" against the mountains and rivers and books, and every time they passed through a country, they would stop and walk around, feel the different customs and customs, and then buy some local products, and it took more than a month to walk around, and arrived at the country of Qu by the sea.

When they arrived in Qu State, the two found that Qu Country was indeed extremely small, and the entire country was only the size of the two state capitals of Zhou State. However, the wealthy Cheng dù far surpassed the Zhou state, and even though most of the wealth every year had to be sacrificed to the Yue state as a tribute, the wealth in the treasury of the Qu state far exceeded that of the Zhou state.

That's right, Liu Heng and An Ruyi would know so well that it was because they had once again visited the palace treasury of the monarch of Qu Guo. It's a pity that this visit didn't make them find any special treasures.

On this day, it coincided with the big fish market, Liu Heng and An Ruyi had never seen what the fish market was like, and with a kind of curiosity, they ran out early in the morning to shop.

Qu Guo is probably because the country is too small, the country is small, and there are few people, so the women in the country will not only stay at home, but also come out to show their faces and work together like men.

There are many women who appear outside, and no one will bring a curtain hat or the like to cover their faces, so An Ruyi will not do much. It's just that because the people of Quguo are on the beach all the year round, they are all tanned, and even the women are no exception, all of them are much darker-skinned. As soon as Liu Heng and An Ruyi appeared, their fair skin was particularly conspicuous.

A fish market, as the name suggests, is a place where fish is sold.

If you really think that fish markets are just places to sell all kinds of fish, you are very wrong. In fact, it is said that there is almost everything, and the fish market in Quguo is only once a month, and there are relatively few people who sell fish and seafood, and most of the people who come come to sell all kinds of pearls and corals that are collected almost with their lives.

Liu Heng and An Ruyi went shopping and bought a lot of pearls and corals in excellent condition, the price of these things was much cheaper than the ones bought in Zhou Kingdom, and the quality was even better.

The so-called things are expensive to leave their hometowns, and this is the case with people leaving their hometowns.

The things were almost bought, and the two of them felt that there was nothing to see and were about to leave, when they passed by a small stall and suddenly noticed a faint aura fluctuation, the two of them suddenly came to their senses, stopped, and looked at the small stall, and they didn't see anything special at this look.

There were no more than dozens of pearls, large and small, and a small pile of clam shells that had not yet been pried open, and a large pile of clam shells that had been pried open and discarded. I felt it, but the fluctuation of spiritual power came from the pile of clam shells that had been pried.

"You two want to buy pearls? All my pearls here are good, and the price is not high, so take a look. Seeing someone stop, a little girl of twelve or thirteen years old at the stall stopped the movement of the clam shell she was prying in her hand, looked up and greeted them warmly with a smile.

"How do you sell these?" An Ruyi couldn't help but feel a little distressed when she saw that it was a little girl, and asked softly.

"My pearls here, no matter how big or small, are ten taels of silver a tie." The little girl's eyes lit up, and she smiled and took a small bucket from the side.

The price is fair, and her family's bucket is slightly larger than others.

"You measure how many buckets there are, we all need them." An Ruyi nodded.

The little girl smiled even more happily when she heard this, and began to measure the pearls with a bucket quickly, this lady is really good-looking and very generous, there is no counteroffer, and my father said that if someone wants to bargain, the minimum eight taels of silver can be sold. But she was naturally happier to be able to buy higher.

An Ruyi watched her measure the pearls very seriously, and did not make tricks to deliberately reduce the amount, after filling, there are still gaps in the bucket will be filled with small pearls, often the pearls in the bucket will be slightly higher.

It's a sincere child.

Liu Heng let go of his divine sense, and quickly found out the one with spiritual power fluctuations from the pile of mussel shells that had been opened.

He motioned for An Ruyi to come and see it together, but the two of them were simply surprised. The outside of this mussel shell was wrapped around a clump of seaweed, and this clump of seaweed was one of the main herbs they used to refine Tsukidan, and it was still a hundred years old.

Dragon Whisker Grass is a mid-level spirit grass that can be used in a wide range, and it is also one of the indispensable medicinal herbs for refining Tsukidan.

There is a pill recipe for refining Zhuji Dan in Ruyi Ju, and there are other sufficient materials, but there is no dragon beard grass.

To say that dragon beard grass is not uncommon in the cultivation realm, it grows in places with abundant underwater aura, it is very easy to survive, as long as it can be found, it is generally a large area. And it is also a plant that is very easy to grow, as long as you find a relatively pure water area and set up a spirit gathering array, it can grow.

I was really sleepy and met the one who sent the pillow. In the face of such a surprise, both of them felt that this trip was super worthwhile.

The little girl over there finally measured the pearls, and there were still five or six left, "Madam, there are three buckets in total, if you want them all, these few will be added to you." ”

An Ruyi nodded, handed her three ingots of silver weighing ten taels each, and asked tentatively, "Did your family go to the sea to salvage these pearls by themselves?" ”

"Yes, these are all salvaged by my father and brothers." The little girl took the silver, bit it with her teeth, then put it away, and smiled proudly, "My father and three brothers are very good, and their ability to salvage pearls is ranked among the best in our town, and every time they go to sea, they will not come up empty-handed." ”

"That's really quite capable, I see that your pearl bucket here is bigger than others, and you have not lacked weight when measuring pearls, and you are much more sincere than others. You can also give a head. Won't your father blame you? An Ruyi asked with a smile.

"No, it's my father and mother who explained this, they have always told me to be honest in selling things, not to be cheated and abducted, and even if I suffer a little loss when selling pearls, I can't give it to others." The little girl replied honestly, "If my father finds out about my fool, he will beat me." ”

An Ruyi and Liu Heng smiled at each other, and suddenly had a good impression of the little girl in front of them and her family.

"Your father and mother taught very well, the so-called heaven's helper, Shun also; Those who help people, believe. Integrity is also the foundation of human beings. Our husband and wife have a jewelry shop at home, and we will need a lot of pearls in good condition in the future, would you like to take us back to meet your parents, and we can directly find your family to collect pearls when we come to Quguo in the future.
