Tushan County is the closest county seat to Wanzhulin, and it is also the most important county under the jurisdiction of Montenegro City, one of the nine cities under the leadership of Jiao An.

It's not just important because the county is home to a gold mine that has been mined for less than 100 years, and another silver mine that has just been explored. What is really important is that because of the emergence of the Wanzhulin trade route, Tushan County, as the trade outpost of Jiao'an's territory, basically all the goods from the four territories of An'an will basically gather here at the first time.

It is precisely because of this that the geographical significance of Tushan County can almost be said to be second only to Montenegro City.

If it weren't for the special requirements for the location of all the cities on the Shenzhou Continent, maybe this would not be Tushan County, but Tushan City.

However, because of this, Tushan County is mixed, far from being like the average county seat, where only one person from the Xuan Realm can be controlled.

The actual ruler of Tushan County is a strong man in the Circle Realm.

In the division of several realms in the Shenzhou Continent, after entering the Xuan, there is the Xuan, and after the Xuan, there is the Circle Realm.

If it is said that entering the Xuan Realm is like a newborn child in the cultivation world. Then the Circle Realm can be regarded as a true adult in the cultivation realm. And the Tongxuan Realm that is mixed in it is at best just a teenager whose body has just grown.

Tushan County is an important area second only to Black Mountain City, and Black Mountain City is the absolute sphere of influence of the Jiao An Xu family, so it is naturally not a shocking thing to send a candidate monk who is qualified to take charge of a lower city to manage it.

Looking at the tall city wall of Tushan County, which was completely inconsistent with the administrative level of the county, Ye Kong's indifferent eyes finally revealed a strange look.

There is excitement, emotion, and a hint of unease.

As a person with a very full understanding and cognition of the Shenzhou Continent, Ye Kong certainly knew that his original design plan for Tushan County had been revised in several versions, and even the temperament of the person in power in Tushan County was finalized through repeated discussions with the design team.

A strong man in the Circle Realm who is very ambitious, has a strong desire to control, and his ability is also worthy of his ambition, and the city government is still very deep.

Such a person is naturally very difficult to deal with.

If he could, Ye Kong didn't want to deal with such a person.

But he knew that once he stepped into the black market in Tushan County, then the controller would definitely know about his arrival. But it was impossible for Ye Kong not to go to the black market here, because he had enough things in his hands that could be called a hot potato - those elixirs he got from the Hsinchu Illusion Realm, and he didn't know how long it would take to get into effect, so for Ye Kong, it was better to take out some of them and convert them into what he needed at the moment.

And the two gift bags in his hand have the mark of the Immortal Gate, unless he changes the practice of the Immortal Gate and replaces the true element in his body, otherwise once he is discovered by the people of the Immortal Gate, then he will become very troublesome, so he also plans to dispose of these two gift bags.

The only way to do this type of trading without worrying about any trouble is the black market.

However, on the Shenzhou Continent, there is not a special trading place such as the black market everywhere.

Basically, there are two types of black market.

One is called the mobile black market, which is only open on special occasions and at special times. The opening of such black markets is generally announced in advance, and only those who receive an invitation are eligible to enter. The other is the fixed black market that exists in various cities or some large counties, which are usually controlled by or backed by the real power of the city. However, the entry requirements for this type of black market are not high, as long as you know the way, you can enter anytime and anywhere.

However, the fixed black market is not as good as the mobile black market, usually every time the mobile black market is opened, there will inevitably be real high-quality goods, and whether the fixed black market can find good things depends on their respective fortunes. However, it is precisely because of this that the fixed black market is divided into four levels of gold, silver, copper, and iron according to the scale, the strength of the people served, the appearance rate of high-quality products in the black market, etc., so basically as long as you know the level of this black market, you can generally understand the service objects of this black market and avoid wasting time.

After all, the time of the monks is too precious to be wasted.

In Tushan County, there is a copper-level black market.

The so-called copper-level black market refers to the fact that there are often things that the Circle Realm Monks need, and even occasionally things that the Realm Breaking Monks need.

Compared to Black Mountain City, which is also a bronze-level black market, but the person in charge of Black Mountain City is a seventh-level monk in the Circle Realm, Ye Kong is naturally more inclined to take risks in Tushan County. After all, the strength of the person in power in Tushan County on the surface is only the second layer of the Circle Realm - although Ye Kong knows that the other party is actually hiding it, and his true strength is the fifth layer of the Circle Realm, but no matter what, it is definitely safer than Montenegro City.

On the occasion of entering the city, Ye Kong took Qingyi and the people of the caravan to say goodbye.

Along the way, Ye Kong didn't make a move, and he always showed a frail and sickly appearance, looking like he was seriously injured. This kind of behavior did dispel some of the caravan's doubts to a great extent, but it was also easy to arouse the caravan's greed - on the trade route of Wanzhulin, it was not uncommon for these caravans to occasionally make cameos as robbers and bandits, as long as the tail was cleaned up.

But fortunately, this caravan has not attacked Ye Kong, so the two sides have nothing to do.

It was originally just a Pingshui meeting, and Ye Kong's departure with Qingyi naturally could not be retained by the caravan.

After the two sides separated, Ye Kong deliberately stayed for half an hour before entering the city with Qingyi.

After entering the city, Ye Kong took Qingyi to worship the Five Organs Temple first, and then purchased some changes of clothes for Qingyi and booked a room in an inn before he took Qingyi to the black market.

Originally, he planned to leave Qingyi at the inn, but considering that it was not safe to leave Qingyi alone like this, Ye Kong finally left with her.

Qingyi, who followed behind Ye Kong, looked at the surrounding environment curiously.

As a beggar, Qingyi has only been to the village to beg at most, and there are usually guards and guards in the county seat, so it is impossible to let a beggar like Qingyi enter. Although Tushan County is only a county, it is not inferior to the city in terms of scale, and everything you see here is full of an indescribable freshness for Qingyi, who has never entered the city, which gives birth to a subtle sense of excitement in her heart.

Most of the bluestone-paved streets are filled with neatly dressed men and women. A few of them were brightly dressed and brightly dressed, and occasionally a few servants were followed to help carry things or umbrellas.

On both sides of the street, there are all kinds of shops, some of which are quaint and simple, some of which are bejeweled, and some of which are luxurious and exquisite. These shops may sell different things, but the shopkeeper who shouts at the door to greet customers gives people the same noisy and lively feeling. Qingyi, who followed Ye Kong's side, looked intently at the shops and pedestrians on the left and right, as well as the small stalls placed on the street from time to time.

The pedestrians on the road are not in a hurry, but they are not as leisurely as the villagers Qingyi has seen before, on the contrary, all the pedestrians on this street have a vigorous appearance. Whether it is shouting, discussing, or talking, everyone's body is radiating a kind of vitality that has never been seen before.

Until this moment, there was a feeling in Qingyi's heart that this was the real world.

Looking at the look on Qingyi's face, Ye Kong gently put his hand on her head, and then rubbed her hair.

Because of malnutrition all the time, Qingyi's hair is not good, and it feels a bit like dead grass to the touch. Although Qingyi's food has improved since following Ye Kong for more than half a month, and he will no longer be as hungry and undressed as before, but in fact, the change in physique cannot be effective so quickly, and according to Ye Kong's estimate, it will take more than a year of recuperation at the earliest.

However, this is calculated in the way of the secular world, and of course there are some special cultivation methods in the cultivation world, but they require the cooperation of pills.

"Don't you think these places are beautiful?" Ye Kong said with a smile.

"Hmm!" Qingyi nodded heavily, his little eyes full of undisguised joy and excitement.

"You'll find out later that there's nothing more to it here." Ye Kong said with a smile, "This world is very vast, and what we see now is just a corner. But one day, I'll go all over the world and see all the beautiful things. ”

"Me too." Qingyi spoke, his voice was a little, and it sounded more like he was making some guarantees.

Ye Kong still had a smile on his face, and he didn't comment on Qingyi's words. However, he knew that Qingyi's current answer just didn't know what he meant by what he just said: "In the future, you will have your own goals and desires." ”

The young Qingyi looked at Ye Kong as if he didn't understand, and didn't understand the meaning of these words.

But she didn't refute or defend anything.

She only knew that what the master said must be correct.

Because when he was in the village before, he had heard someone say that more than once.

Ye Kong just took Qingyi and walked towards the destination while shopping on the street.

It was a gambling stall in a remote alley.

The door was open, and on the white curtain was written a large gambling word.

Outside the gate, there is a square table, and on the four benches next to the table are sitting a few fierce-looking men, with a few glasses of wine and a few dishes on the table, and the noise of these people can be heard clearly even by Ye Kong and Qingyi standing outside the alley.

It seems that no one has ever come to the gambling stall with children, and the faces of these big men are a little curious.

However, Ye Kong knew that among these people who looked rude and fierce, there was actually one who really belonged to the cultivation world, and his strength was not low. If ordinary monks who have entered the Xuan Realm think that this is just an ordinary gambling stall in the secular world, and want to come over to make some profits, I am afraid it will be difficult to see the sun the next day.

When Ye Kong got a little closer, one of the big men raised his eyebrows, and then he stretched out his hand to stop the other people at the table and greeted him alone.

"Friend, it's a bit of a face." This big man seemed to be slow and fast, and he walked a distance of nearly ten meters in a few steps, and stopped in front of Ye Kong.

"Let's try our luck." Ye Kong smiled.

"How?" The big man laughed too.

"I want to play something special." Ye Kong was not frightened by the momentum deliberately exuded by the other party, "For example, the kind that doesn't look at people, only looks at fortune." ”

"This kind of field is not something that ordinary people can enter." The big man grinned, revealing a mouth full of yellow teeth, "Do you have a recommender?" ”

Ye Kong knew that if it was in "Legend", then players would need to complete a series of tasks before they could get the news about the black market, and in a sense, it was indeed necessary to have a referrer to recommend them to know the way to the black market. However, it was a special obstruction made by the game in order to limit the player's progress, in this real world, there was no such limitation, and Ye Kong didn't have the heart to do those errand "tasks", so he directly skipped those cumbersome steps and came to the end.

"Nope." Ye Kong shook his head.

Dahan frowned slightly, according to the rules, if there is no recommender, it is impossible to know about the existence of the black market, so generally asking the recommender is actually just an incision. But he didn't expect that the middle-aged man in front of him really didn't have a recommender, but he just knew about this Tushan black market, which made him a little unsure of how to deal with it. Because according to the rules, the so-called visitors are guests, and when they open the door to do business, they must let people in.

As if seeing the hesitation and entanglement of the big man, Ye Kong smiled: "Don't worry, I have a child, and it is impossible to cause anything." …… Also, just because I don't have a referee doesn't mean I don't know anything. I know the rules. ”

As he said this, he also took out a silver tael and quietly stuffed it to the man: "Buy some wine for the brothers." ”

Dahan glanced at it quietly, and this ingot of silver ingots made him quite excited, so after only hesitating for a second, a smile appeared on his face: "It turned out to be someone recommended by Boss Jin, then it's no problem." I'll take you to the upper room, where the environment is better, but if you don't have some luck, it's better to come out as soon as possible. ”

"There is labor." Ye Kong arched his hand and walked into the gambling stall with Qingyi behind the other party.
