Chapter 17: Cloud City
It has been more than a month since Jun Tianling and Jun Tianyun went to explore the waterhole.
During this period, the two of them explored the underwater world vigorously, and sometimes even stayed for two or three days to cultivate, and after ensuring that the underwater world was indeed safe within this month, Jun Tianyun stayed here.
For some reason, the danger hidden in the underwater world is not in front of the two of them, so until now, the two still think that this is a blessed place.
Since Jun Lian couldn't stay in the water for a long time, Tian Ling often brought some herbs from the underwater world that contained huge vitality to the surface. For this reason, Jun Tianling had to learn some basic herb gathering knowledge.
"Water core grass, long three fingers, clumped, green, there is a trace of water blue in the heart of the grass, so it is called water core, generally grows in the bright area of pure water quality, there is calming, repair after injury, the effect of bright eyes, when collecting, use the power of light or pure water, otherwise it is easy to be polluted, easy to wither and mutate......"
"Ice polyphytes, inhabiting the ground in water, are ice-blue flat leaf-like bodies, containing ice elements, edible ......"
Holding the "Basic Classic of Aquatic Herbal Medicine" borrowed from Lan Luoyi, Tianling kept chattering in his mouth, and kept walking around, looking like an old pedant.
At the same time, Jun Lian was also studying a book on the side, and the two of them seemed to be going to the academy assessment. Forget to sleep and eat, and study hard.
Jun Lian's heart was moved, Tianling studied so hard for him.
As everyone knows, Tianling has always wanted to learn herbalism, but he has never had the opportunity and resources, and now he has a lot of time and resources to use, how can he not study well.
"Tianling, the caravan in the afternoon, are you going to follow to Cloud City?" Jun Lian put down the book in his hand and looked at Jun Tianling worriedly, in the afternoon, the caravan of Lanfeng Village was going to Cloud City to sell the fruits and vegetables collected during this time and the hunting furs.
"Well, I want to go to Cloud City to see it" Removing his gaze from the book and looking at the worried Jun Lian, "Little Bunny, don't worry, it's okay." ”
The people in Cloud City, although they look down on the spirit, but it will not be absolute, if the spirit can stand on its own, I think most people will not be okay.
"But ......" bit his lower lip, Tianling must go, what can I do.
Tianling lowered his head and smiled, walked to Jun Lian's side, sat down, and comforted, "Don't worry, if you're really worried about me, I can cover my ears, so it's fine, even if someone suspects that I'm a spirit because of my hair color, it will only be suspicion." ”
Jun Lian's expression was constantly entangled, and finally he sighed and looked at Tianling in compromise: "Well, pay attention to safety, I won't accompany you." ”
"You just read well, don't you like to read the most?"
"Yes"
When the Lanfeng Village caravan set off, the sky was drizzling, the air was fresh, and everyone's mood was calm and excited.
Tianling tied her pink shawl hair into braids and hung down on both sides of her neck, wrapping her ears inside, just like an ordinary little girl, except that the hair color was a little strange.
There is nothing strange about hair color in this world, sometimes due to cultivation, or external forces are very likely to cause hair color variation.
The group arrived at the gate of Cloud City.
The guards didn't bully outsiders like some of the stories Tianling had seen, or people who didn't like the eyes earned more city fees.
Tianling looked at the lively streets and bustling shops, and thought that this city lord was still well governed.
"Lao Wang, I have a few batches of good farm tools here, come and take a look."
"Sister Li, the red cloth of the cloth village is really suitable for you."
"The steamed buns at the steamed bun shop today are so delicious"
"I heard that the grocery store in the east has a new beauty employee, and now the business is so good!"
"Yes, if it's really so beautiful, how can I go back to that grocery store, I should get married early, but I'm going to close the stall early today, go and see"
Listening to the affectionate words of the people on both sides of the road, Tianling couldn't help but find a sense of reality.
Ever since she came into this world and realized that she wasn't human, she had always felt unreal, feeling detached from this world.
Tianling went with the caravan to a long-established fur buyer, and then went to the wholesale vegetable and fruit market to sell the vegetables and fruits in the cottage, and bought some vegetables and seeds that were not available in the cottage.
Fruits and vegetables are not sold to shops at low prices, but are sold directly after paying rent.
Therefore, Tianling will have an afternoon to hang out in Cloud City.
However, everyone in Lanfeng Village obviously didn't worry about her alone, and in the end, under Tianling's resolute resistance, they couldn't vacate the air, so they had to tell Tianling to act on her own.
Walking on the streets of Yuncheng as she wished, thinking that she was penniless, she couldn't help but be restrained, she came out with a few pearls, which Tianyun gave her when she was in Junjia Village, and she brought a lot of these small things when she came out of Junjia Village.
It's a pity that I don't know the value of these pearls, and she is easy to be deceived when she goes to a pawnshop as a child. That's not how good.
Walking into a jewelry store, the quality of the clerk is still good, looking at her as a child, dressed in general, and not showing any negative looks, although she is not enthusiastic, she is also conscientious.
Tian Ling looked at the dazzling array of ordinary jewelry, felt that none of them looked good as the jewelry in his hand, turned around and walked out of the store, went to another one, after several investigations, Tian Ling could be sure that the pearl in his hand belonged to the best of ordinary jewelry.
Definitely no less than 100,000 gold coins, which is a huge amount of money.
Ordinary people can live for a month with one gold coin, but she directly gets the funds to live for a lifetime at one time, which is still the price of a pearl.
Jun Tianling's hand in his pocket clenched the pearl tightly and ran towards the only auction hall in Cloud City.
There was just one auction going on this afternoon, and there was about an hour left before there were no more purchases.
Tianling stood at the consignment table in the auction hall, she was short and held her head high, looking at the beautiful sister behind the counter with a pair of big watery eyes.
"Sister, I want to consign"
"Oh? Little sister, what do you want to consign, ordinary things are not accepted here, but look at you so cute, if you take out something that can't be auctioned, but if I like it, I'll buy it myself, how about it? "Hua Lingling was born on the first day today, and was arranged by her brother to the consignment desk to be the front desk, and when she saw such a cute little sister, she fell in love with it, as the eldest lady of the fancy auction house, she still has private property.
"Well, I want to auction off a bead I picked up in the lake, can I ask an appraiser to do it for me, I want to know what this is, I've heard that there are the best appraisers here, so I'm here here." Money is not leaked, although this girl has no bad intentions, but she still has to be appraised.
"Of course, the appraiser of our auction house, but the first appraiser of Cloud City, you wait, I will call someone for you." Cute little guy, even knows the appraiser.
Hua Lingling didn't know how to notify the appraiser, and after a while, she saw an old man with a gray beard walking over.
"Flower girl, what's the matter, you actually called me, an old man, over, haha." This old man seems to have a good relationship with this beautiful sister.
"Grandpa Wu, this little girl wants to meet the most powerful appraiser, so I'll trouble Grandpa. She said she had picked up a bead and wanted it to be examined by the best appraiser. ”
"Hey, I'm not the best appraiser, I'm just a little more knowledgeable." As he spoke, he looked at Tianling, "What a cute little girl, come on, Grandpa Wu will show you what you want to identify, haha, come with me." Wu Peiyuan happily led Tianling into another room.
Hua Lingling also followed out of curiosity, and casually threw the consignment table to others.
After everything was ready, Tianling took out the pearl from his pocket and handed it to Wu Peiyuan.
"Hiss" Wu Peiyuan gasped and looked at Tianling with complicated eyes, "Female doll, your pearl is really not a simple thing, although it is not a spirit pearl, but such a big and round pearl is indeed rare, it is better to say that you are the second one I have seen so far, and the first one is not for sale, and it is collected by a lady." ”
Hua Lingling was also surprised next to her, she didn't expect it to be really a big business.
"Grandpa, is this pearl really so precious?" Tianling used her innocent voice to make herself more simple and cute.
"Well, this is a pearl king, if it is auctioned, it is generally worth about 300,000 yuan, but if there is a collector in this area, it is not necessarily." Wu Peiyuan looked at the pearl in his hand and said to Tianling: "It just so happens that I know that there is someone who likes this, why don't you sell it to me, I will give you 350,000 gold coins." ”
Tianling looked at the pearl in Wu Peiyuan's hand blankly, he didn't expect the value to be so high.
"Well, I didn't expect this thing to be so precious."
"Haha, it's a person's luck, it seems that you should be a very blessed doll." Wu Peiyuan laughed and said, he was surprised that such a large sum of money, Tian Ling didn't leak an excited look, looking at Tian Ling's average dress, he didn't know if he had no concept of money or what.
Wu Peiyuan ordered to go down, and soon someone brought a transparent card.
"Doll, this is an ordinary crystal card, the upper limit of each card is one million gold coins, and this is three hundred and fifty thousand, you have to take it."
"En" Tianling took the crystal card, put it in the small backpack, and said, "Then I'll go, goodbye grandpa, goodbye sister"
"Hey, wait, what's your name?"
"My name is Jun Tianling"
"In the future, I will often come to Grandpa Wu to play, this sister is called Hua Lingling, you are welcome to come more."
"Well, goodbye"
After Tianling walked away, Wu Peiyuan said to Hua Lingling with a smile, "What a little doll that is not simple." ”
"Yes, I was distracted by her cute appearance at first, but I didn't expect that I was completely led by her nose, haha, what a smart child."
"She will definitely come back in the future, if it is still this more precious thing next time, I will give her a VIP card"
"Yes, okay"
