Among the five Xuan Cities, the highest symbol of power and status must belong to Tianwai City, and Hongfu City is a place where wealth from all walks of life gathers, and any sect family must go through hundreds of years of accumulation before it can gain a firm foothold in those two cities.

If you don't have any family background and still want to get ahead, the best choice is to go to Sifang City. No matter what you are capable of, even with a little luck, there is the possibility of making a name for yourself.

"The city of the Four Directions is not really one city, but refers to the four cities. Shui Ling'er pointed to several cities in the distance and explained to Zhang Zhao: "I heard that these four cities were far apart when they were built, and then I don't know why I got together in one ......."

"I remember, it is recorded in the wonderful land of the world that there are four cities between the two regions of earth and fire, and after a few years, they are suddenly adjacent, and the city is unharmed when it is displaced, so it is called the four directions. Zhang Zhao carefully looked at the four cities below the slope: "I thought it was made up, but it turned out that there was such a thing." ”

These four cities are Giant Rock City, Flame City, Famu City and Lindou City, after the Scorpion Dragon Beast slowly fell and joined the three elders of the Mo Feng and Shui Family, several people walked through the Giant Rock City in the north and headed southeast.

Mo Feng was quite familiar with the situation here, and pointed around to tell a few people about the differences in the Sifang City: "The Giant Rock City is full of idle cultivators who kill people without blinking, as long as there are immortal crystals for them to do. ”

"Flame City has always been the Shura Field on the other side of the Xuanhuo Domain, and it has remained unchanged for hundreds of years. If you feel that you are very capable, you will go to the Shura platform to fight to the death, and the more people you kill, the louder your reputation will be. ”

"The little fat man's home is in Famu City, and many unpolished and carved treasures are mixed in the piles of ore, if anyone is lucky enough to choose a priceless chalcedony stone, then wait to make a fortune. ”

"There are some Taoist families in Lindou City, and our Mo family also has a few businesses over there that sell some things, and the machine fighting arena is full of things from various institutions, and the people in Hongfu City who look at your arm are almost all over there. ”

Speaking of this, Mo Feng smiled proudly: "Now the business of the crystal rune cannon is the best, no matter where the agency people have to buy a few, the more they fight, the more immortal crystals our Mo family will earn." ”

"No matter how strong the machine people are, there will always be a moment when they are defeated, and the real winners will never step on the ring by themselves, such a simple truth, they can't figure it out for hundreds of years......"

Zhang Zhao smiled and continued: "When the juniors were in the town, they had heard about the competition between the machine beasts, maybe they didn't understand, but they just couldn't wait. Since they have the strength to compete and have a lot of immortal crystals piled up in front of them, there are a few people who can be as calm as Mo Senior. ”

"If it weren't for the third brother who talked about you when you were a child, my old man wouldn't have believed it. Mo Feng turned his head to look at Zhang Zhao and suddenly laughed: "Yao Lao'er values his family background the most, but he didn't expect to find a kid who sells meat as his grandson-in-law." ”

The Mo family is well-known in the Xuantu Domain, and the fierce Mo Feng is even more unknown. As soon as they entered the Sifang City, someone went to report that as soon as they came out of the Giant Rock City, Jiang Ruhai had already led the crowd out of Famu City.

"Uncle Mo, the three seniors are good. Jiang Ruhai stepped forward to hug Zhang Zhao after finishing the salute, and then squeezed his eyebrows at him: "Congratulations, eldest brother, since the young palace master has followed you to the Jiang family, it seems that this time has gained a lot." ”

Shui Ling'er snorted coldly and raised her hand: "Fatty, I heard that Sister Hua beat you hard, don't you know that this girl also hurts to beat people." ”

Jiang Ruhai smiled and hid behind Zhang Zhao: "Big brother, you have to block her, if you let a woman beat her at the door of your own house, my brother really has no face to see people." ”

"Zen Venerable. More than a dozen black-robed old men who came with Jiang Ruhai stepped forward to salute, and Zhang Zhao hurriedly bowed his hand: "I have seen Senior Dong, you don't have to be polite." ”

Dong Bo, who returned to the God Cave, laughed: "Aoki City said goodbye in a hurry, but I didn't expect to meet Zen Zun again." Not only the old man is here, but Gai Lao'er and Yang Xian's nephew are also here. ”

Although Dong Bo smiled lovely, Zhang Zhao saw a hint of gloom between his eyebrows. Looking at the ghost cultivators who almost poured out of the Returning God Cave, he faintly felt that something big must have happened to the Jiang family.

Zhang Zhao and Jiang Ruhai chatted and laughed and entered the Famu City, all the way to the bejeweled Wanbao Zhai Gate, where several gentlemen in charge of the Jiang family waited outside respectfully and welcomed them to the Jiang family's richly decorated spacious living room.

"Dad, you haven't seen your eldest brother in Hongfu City, but this time he's here. Jiang Ruhai pointed to an old man with white eyebrows in the hall with excitement on his face and introduced Zhang Zhao to him: "Big brother, my father has always wanted to thank you in person." ”

"I've seen Uncle Jiang. Zhang Zhao stepped forward to salute, and Jiang Shoucai, who was sitting in the middle of the main hall, nodded slightly and coughed lightly: "You shouldn't be lazy when you come to the door, but Jiang is sick, so I have to treat you by Xiaoer Ruhai." ”

Zhang Zhao wanted to say a few more kind words, but he looked up and was stunned for a moment. Gai Yu, who was beside Jiang Shoucai, nodded at him, and followed Jiang Shoucai to slowly turn around and enter the back house.

"Daddy......" Jiang Ruhai felt a little embarrassed, turned his head and smiled awkwardly at Mo Feng and the three elders of the Shui family: "My father has been sick in bed for more than a month, and he has only been able to get up and walk around recently, please don't be surprised by a few seniors." ”

The people of Mo Feng, who were snubbed, also felt that Jiang Shoucai was very rude, but they could only complain a few times in their stomachs, and then sat down one after another under Jiang Ruhai's courtesy.

Zhang Zhao was silent and thoughtful, but Shui Ling'er comforted him: "Fatty, don't you know Zhang Zhangzhao's ability? It's better to let him go and see his uncle, maybe there is some good way." ”

Jiang Ruhai was quite moved after hearing this, and then Gai Yu returned to the hall alone: "Zen Venerable, Jiang Shopkeeper is invited." Zhang Zhao stood up and nodded at Mo Feng, and followed Gai Yu straight into the back house.

In a dark hall, Jiang Shoucai leaned on a big chair and closed his eyes. Yang Feng saw Zhang Zhao coming over and hurriedly took Lan'er forward to greet him, and then walked out quickly under Gai Yu's signal, standing outside the door with Lan'er on guard.

"Lao Yu was really worried just now, but fortunately, Zen Zun didn't say it on the spot. Hearing Gai Yu's relieved words, Zhang Zhao understood that he was not mistaken: "Senior Gai, is Uncle Jiang really ......?"

Gai Yu sighed heavily: "That's right, Brother Shoucai has been dead for many days, and we have been hiding it from us, just to find out who committed the murder." ”

Zhang Zhao was shocked when he heard this: "Listen to the meaning of the seniors, Uncle Jiang was killed by someone?" Dong Bo held Jiang Shoucai's already cold palm, and his voice was cold: "Although Old Man Jiang has not reached the realm of incarnation, he has strong financial resources, and even uses immortal yuan to recuperate even when he is infected with wind and cold, how can he die easily?"

His voice gradually turned painful: "When the two of us came, he was already unable to support it, so in order to avoid the leakage of news, he immediately set up two guards, but unfortunately even the little fat man didn't see him for the last time......"

The two of them have a good relationship with Jiang Shoucai, and they all feel murderous intent in their chests when they think of his reluctant gaze when he is dying: "We have all the manpower and move his body without revealing flaws, just to see who can't help but come back to do it." ”

"Old Man Jiang's side won't have problems with the two guards of the Transformation Realm, otherwise he won't be able to see us alive. Gai Yu and Dong Bo glanced at each other: "Now that the two of us have some insights into the realm of incarnation, and Feng'er is here, I plan to bring them here, so as to avenge our old friends." ”

Zhang Zhao approached to look at Jiang Shoucai's corpse: "Have the two of you found out what is abnormal in Uncle Jiang?" Dong Bo nodded: "Old man Jiang is cautious, and he always has two immortal yuan by his side. After many days of careful inspection, we finally realized the reason. ”

He stretched out his hand and took out a jade box and handed it to Zhang Zhao: "This is what Old Man Jiang had on his body when he left. As soon as Zhang Zhao opened the lid of the box, the familiar warm luster immediately filled the room.

"Is there something wrong with this immortal yuan?" Zhang Zhao thought about how he felt when he touched the immortal yuan several times with his own hands, and gradually discovered some mysteries: "Why do I think it seems to be a little cooler than the rest of the immortal yuan." ”

Gai Yu Dong Bo nodded at the same time: "What Zen Zun said is good, this immortal yuan has indeed been tampered with, and there is a trace of cold air in it, and it is extremely difficult to detect if you are not careful." ”

"The two guards with the Transformation Realm are always by their side, and it is not easy to harm Old Man Jiang. But he has been suffering from lung disease for a long time, and he usually coughs a few times and nourishes it carefully with Xianyuan, which makes people find an opportunity to start. ”

"Not only this immortal yuan, but also another unused immortal yuan on his body, presumably it has existed with the extreme yin thing for a long time, which makes it contain a trace of coldness. ”

"This wisp of cold is extremely weak, and ordinary people will not be harmed by it if they come into contact with it, but Old Man Jiang often uses immortal yuan to recuperate, but he unknowingly aggravates his condition, and over time he will die. ”

Zhang Zhao was also shocked when he heard this: "Could it be that this person has been planning for a long time?" Dong Bo took the jade box he handed back and put it on the table: "The two of us think about it carefully, Old Man Jiang has indeed coughed more times in recent years, and those who can contact Xianyuan are the closest people around him." ”

"We asked the little fat man, in addition to exchanging the Jiang family's immortal yuan for rare treasures, they are usually placed in the secret vault of Wanbaozhai and guarded by the guards of the Jiang family's inner house. ”

"In addition to the two people who followed Old Man Jiang, there was also a metamorphosis cultivator among the guards of the inner house, but they had followed the Jiang family for many years, and they really couldn't see who had a different heart. ”

Zhang Zhao knew almost nothing about the Jiang family, and of course he couldn't provide any advice: "Two seniors, do you know why this person wants to murder Uncle Jiang?"

"There are many reasons, Wanbao Zhai can be called the strongest in Famu City, although it does not fight with the rest of the sect families in Sifang City, the financial resources are obvious, once the Jiang family is in turmoil, of course they like to hear it, who doesn't want to come and get some cheapness?"

"Old man Jiang's business must be more slippery than oily, and these jade merchants around him are so pressed that he can't raise his head. Everyone is in the same city and knows each other, and it is not impossible to spend some effort to get rid of such an opponent. ”

"Wanbao Zhai power has been tightly held in the hands of Brother Shoucai, the family will inevitably be a little dissatisfied, if he dies, the people of each family can share the benefits, and the one who benefits the most is naturally the most suspicious. ”

Zhang Zhao hurriedly defended: "I believe that Brother Ruhai, he will never do such a thing." Gai Yu and Dong Bo both waved their hands: "We can trust the little fat man, but he has a weak temperament, and once he learns the truth, he will inevitably show his feet." Please help Zen Zun to hide it, and don't let him know that his father is dead. ”

"Big brother, how is my father's illness?" Jiang Ruhai saw that Zhang Zhao would come back soon and hurriedly stepped forward to ask, Zhang Zhao's face was calm: "Uncle has been suffering from lung disease for a long time, and his breath is a little difficult and he doesn't like to say much, but although Xianyuan is good, it is not suitable for a long time, I have asked Senior Gai to boil some mild decoction to slowly recuperate." ”

Jiang Ruhai didn't doubt Zhang Zhao's words at all: "That's great, big brother, it's still early, why don't we go to the city for a walk, so that you and the young palace master can take a look at the excitement in the Sifang City." ”

Zhang Zhao saw that his face was full of enthusiasm and his heart was slightly sour: "Okay, just listen to your arrangement, brother, where do we go first?" Jiang Ruhai smiled: "Of course, you have to start with the jade market in Famu City, big brother, your vision has always been good, and you can show your skills there." ”

Jiang Ruhai sat in a carriage to lead the way in front, Shui Ling'er pulled Zhang Zhao to ride the scorpion dragon beast with great interest, although Mo Feng had no new feelings about this place for a long time, he still accompanied the three old men of the Shui family leisurely.

The carriage did not stop in front of the shops in the city, but came straight to a vast and boundless place, where there was not a single shop in this place that looked like a bazaar, and everywhere there were piles of rough ore of all kinds, and countless people gathered around to beat and cut, and from time to time there were wails and cheers.

Jiang Ruhai got out of the carriage, pointed ahead and shouted: "Big brother, this is the most famous turnover market in Famu City, no matter who you are, as long as you spend a little money, you can buy a few pieces of ore, if you are lucky enough to cut out a good jade, then turn over immediately." ”

Zhang Zhao looked at the crowded situation in front of him: "Brother Ruhai, in this case, why do we have to pick one piece at a time, spend more immortal crystals to buy a few piles of ore, and slowly cut it to make a profit." ”

"Haha......" Mo Feng and Jiang Ruhai both laughed: "Boy, if it's really like you, no matter how much we make in our partnership's business, no matter how many immortal crystals we make in our business, it won't be enough for you to lose." ”

"Although a good chalcedony can be sold for a few immortal yuan, it is rare to find it in the ore that has been transported here for several months. Mo Feng stretched out his hand and drew a circle: "The ores sent by the various families in the Xuanhuo Xuantu two domains are not more than billions, and even if they are converted into a piece of low-grade immortal crystal, it will cost hundreds of immortal yuan to buy all these in front of you." ”

Jiang Ruhai nodded: "Big brother, Senior Mo is right, my father once had the same thoughts as you, and he also sent someone to carefully calculate for several years. The best time here is only two pieces of chalcedony in March, and together with the rest of the gems of various colors, there is barely a value of more than twenty immortal yuan. Buying all the ore here will cost more than ten times the cost, and the gains outweigh the losses. ”

Zhang Zhao felt very strange: "I don't understand this, according to what you say, there is no money to be made from the stone trading here, why do you still call it a turning market? And it is so prosperous?"

Mo Feng smiled: "It's just greed, one hundred people cut stones and one person gets jade, and one out of ten million people makes a fortune with chalcedony." Such temptation is a hundred times better than a game, how can it not attract people to come madly?"
