Volume 1 The Road to Sealing the Demon Chapter 21 Source Crystal City
Tong Tong's family lives in this mountain called Yaofeng, which is adjacent to Huoyun Mountain, and it is only an hour's foot distance from Yuanjing City. Yaofeng is rich in spiritual materials, and most local farmers make a living by planting spiritual grass, and then harvest the planted spiritual grass and take it to Yuanjing City to sell, and take one or two carriages into the city, saving a lot of effort.
On the way to the carriage, I listened to Tong Tong introduce himself to the general situation of Yuanjing City.
Yuanjing City is not large, just a small and medium-sized city with a population of hundreds of thousands. Yuanjing City is a borderless land, and there is no city lord to control it, but in the long-term development, several major families have become the uncrowned kings of the local area, namely the Yuan family of the formation family, the Wang family of the pill family, and the Bai family, the owner of the Luo Tian Auction House, the largest auction house in Yuanjing City.
Of course, it is naturally impossible for these wealthy families to specialize in one, as long as it is profitable, it is inevitable to get involved in it, but this is the case with industry giants.
From these divisions of forces, what made Feng Sheng very curious was that as the top forces of pills, refining, and formations, the branches of the Danta, the Refining Sect and the Formation Mage Association had not been able to occupy a place in this small Source Crystal City, and I don't know if this Source Crystal City was too remote to deserve their attention, or whether the three wealthy families of King Bai Yuan were too deeply rooted in this Source Crystal City to give them a foothold.
"What about Zoroastrianism?" Feng Sheng also knew from the people of Lihuo Dao that his headquarters had sent people to set up a branch altar here, apparently to spread Zoroastrianism, but in fact to supervise the Huoyun Temple, so how could he have achieved something in order to succeed.
Since the "Huoyunguan Tragedy" happened, Feng Sheng didn't believe that the Zoroastrian side would not be aware of it, and one of the main purposes of his trip to Yuanjing City this time was to find out the news and see how they reacted before making a decision.
"Zoroastrianism?that's amazing, although they are outsiders, there are two powerhouses at the peak of the Moon Realm in the sect, and the three wealthy families are all overpressed by it, and they all want to pull them into their camp, but they all fail to do so. ”
Driving all the way, Yuanjing City finally arrived.
The city is bustling and bustling, but it is not as good as Liuyun City after all. The three major cities of the Xuanyu Domain, Haotian City in the north, Liuyun City in the south, and the holy city of Zhongzhou in the hinterland of the Xuanyu Domain, are really poor and remote compared to these big cities with tens of millions of people who seem to be independent countries.
After getting out of the car, Feng Sheng walked towards the Dan Pavilion of the Danta branch in Yuanjing City under the guidance of Tong Tong, while Uncle Xie, who was traveling with him, transported the spirit grass to other places to sell, and people went to higher places, and whoever offered the higher price would sell it to whoever it was in line with, and no one stipulated that the goods must be sold to whom, so it was naturally the one with the highest price who got it, and it was natural.
Dange's shops in Yuanjing City are not in the downtown area, but are still a little remote. Hanging hilltop building, the style is a bit old, but it is equipped with an independent courtyard for the alchemist to rest in alchemy, and there is a gilded renovation plaque of "Dan Pavilion" hanging in front of the shop, but it seems to be very mismatched, from this point of view, this Dan Pavilion is really not good in Yuanjing City.
At this time, there were very few customers in the Dan Pavilion, and it could almost be said that there were many doors. There was a sales lady standing on the counter, about twenty-eight years old, full of plump, bumpy and convex, was burying her head in what to deal with, heard the footsteps and then raised her head slightly to look at the two eyes, originally was about to greet with a smile, but you can see that the face of the person drooped down in disappointment, a seven or eight-year-old child, a gray-haired old man, originally thought that it was a big customer, just what these two people can afford, look at their dress is not very like a person who can afford to use any good pills.
Her name is Tang Wan, she has been working in Dange for more than three months, during this time, the business of Dange is really not good, in addition to receiving a meager basic salary, the commission is almost none, and she can't help but regret a little, why didn't she go to the Wang family of the Danyao family to find a job, remembering that a friend of mine chose to go to the Wang family to work on an errand, and her ability is not as good as herself, but she doesn't know how much more money she gets every month than herself, and she is envious and jealous in her heart!
But she still tried her best to suppress the dissatisfaction in her heart, and greeted the guests with a smile, "You two are objective, I don't know what pill you want to buy, or let me introduce it to you?"
"Do you have any Yi Rong Dan here, what is the highest grade?"
There are grades of pills, but it does not mean that a kind of pill is a grade, for example, the Yi Rong Pill that Feng Sheng said, the general alchemist refining it is also in the category of a second-grade pill, and its effect can make people change their appearance in a short period of time, but they can't hide their cultivation and breath, and the time limit is very short, not more than three days, it is not as practical as using some spells that change the appearance;
But in the hands of some high-level alchemists, they relied on their superb skills to refine the Yi Rong Pill that could conceal the aura of cultivation and not leave the slightest trace of the past, although such an elixir was also crowned with the same name, but the level of the elixir was much higher, and the value could not be compared.
"Well, we have the Yirong Pill here, but most of them are second-grade pills, I don't know what do you think, old man?" Tang Wan's voice was particularly raised a lot when she said the second-grade pills, the second-grade pills are not something that everyone can afford to eat, looking at their appearance, at most, it is good to make do with the lowest-grade first-grade pills, and the second-grade pills, blow it!
Alchemist is an extremely money-burning profession, from apprentice to teacher, all kinds of material costs are like flowing water, and the success rate of alchemy is not high, if the refining of a furnace fails, he has to pay the customer's material fee, not to mention, he can't even get a little luck. Even this can't stop people's enthusiasm for apprenticeship, because once out of the teacher, the benefits obtained are also extremely huge, the profit margin of expensive pills is not small, as the so-called high risk and high reward, there is still a trace of fairness in this world, and the higher the level of pills, the more popular it is, often many famous people have to whisper to ask an alchemist to refine a pair of medicines for them.
"Aren't there any high-grade ones?" Feng Sheng asked rhetorically.
"Huh?" Tang Wan was a little skeptical if she had heard it wrong, you look poor, not to mention the second-grade pill, you may not be able to afford the first-grade pill, let alone the higher-level one, if you don't have money, you don't have any money, what kind of garlic is there, Cheng Xin is looking for himself to be happy, thinking about it, there was a trace of obvious anger on his face. Looking at his appearance, he shouldn't know how much the second grade pill is worth to install it here.
"A bottle of thirty mid-grade spirit stones of the second-grade Yirong Dan, and the price of the high-grade is much more expensive. ”
Pretend, let you pretend, this time it depends on how you get off the stage.
Spirit stones are the common currency in this world, divided into high, medium, and low levels, and the conversion ratio between adjacent two levels is ten, which means that an intermediate spirit stone can be exchanged for ten low-level spirit stones. For an ordinary family like Tong Tong, and even most of the people in Yuanjing City, a low-grade spirit stone was almost worth a week's ration, and these thirty middle-grade spirit stones were really not something that ordinary families could handle. No wonder it is said that all the alchemists in the world are a group of fat people who are so rich.
"Thirty spirit stones!" Tong Tong stared at the side, what kind of elixir is this so expensive?
Tang Wan saw Tong Tong's stunned appearance, and the contempt in her heart was even worse, and she was more sure of Feng Sheng's idea that she was just a poor ghost teasing her, and even the tone of her voice was gone, and her previous politeness became tougher.
"If you want to buy the elixir, buy it quickly, if you don't buy it, go to another house!"
It's obvious that people are giving themselves an eviction order.
"I said, do you have any high-level Yi Rong Dan to sell?"
Seeing this old man so ignorant, he was really embarrassed, and Tang Wan's whole person was about to explode.
Just as she was about to call someone to chase them away, a woman came out of the back hall.
The woman was dressed in an alchemist's white alchemist robe, with three silver-edged stars embroidered on her neckline, and the person who came was actually a third-grade alchemist.
The division criteria for Danta alchemists are very simple, the uniform clothing is only different in the logo on the neckline - the first to third level alchemists are silver-edged stars, and one for the first level, which is a low-level alchemist; the neckline of the fourth-level alchemist to the sixth level is the gold-edged moon, and the same level is one for the intermediate alchemist; and the seventh to ninth level is the crimson sun, which is a high-level alchemist. As for the tenth-level alchemist, with Feng Sheng's knowledge, he has never encountered it, so he naturally doesn't know, but whether there is a tenth-level alchemist in the Danta is still two words.
This woman is not very old and is just in her early twenties, with bright eyes and bright teeth, a delicate figure, fresh and refined, not glamorous or demonic, even if she wears a white robe, she still depicts the concave and convex curves of her figure, although she is not as plump as Tang Wan, but she is also decent and has a unique charm.
"Miss Jingzhu. Tang Wan saw the other party coming, and hurriedly turned around and bowed to welcome, she was just a small medicine sales lady, the other party was a third-level alchemist, and he held great power in the Dan Pavilion, and his status was transcendent, if she made her unhappy because of a trivial matter, it would be too resentful for her to open herself again.
"What's going on here, noisy and yelling?" This Miss Jingzhu was a little angry when she saw that the medicine sales lady actually had an argument with the customer, don't you know that the customer is God, now that our Dange has not gained a firm foothold in Yuanjing City, you will offend people first, if people spread the word, then we are still not in Yuanjing City?
"Miss Jinglu, it's not like this, you listen to my explanation..."Tang Wan was also scared at this time, and hurriedly explained to her the whole story.
"I see," after listening to Tang Wan's explanation, Jing Yu's anger calmed down, this matter is really no wonder for her, not to say snobbery, or any medicine sales lady will have this kind of reaction when she encounters this situation, and even does not do as well as her, looking up and down at Feng Sheng and said,
"Old man, since the amount of pills you want to buy is large, can you let us see if you have sufficient funds?"
"Is it true that any guest who comes to you to buy something has to reveal his property to you? This is how you Dange do business?" It turned out that the other party thought that he was a poor bastard to give himself a white eye, this kind of hospitality is really flattering, when he said this, Feng Sheng not only did not panic, but carried a trace of anger.
"You..."Miss Jingzhu is not as polite as Tang Wan, when has she ever been angry with a third-level alchemist, it has always been too late for others to cater to her, this person is so unaware.
"Old man, please forgive me, the pill you want is really too valuable, we..." Tang Wan hurriedly signaled Jing Wei to stop, and mediated to ease the atmosphere of the scene.
"Okay, are you enough of this?" As he spoke, Feng Sheng took out a bag of spirit stones from his spatial ring, and the bag was not tied properly to reveal a few spirit stones, all of which were high-grade spirit stones, and the quality was much better than ordinary high-grade spirit stones.
This...
This slap in the face, Tang Wan and Jing Wei didn't know what to say for a while, now rich people like to pretend to be poor, poor people like to pretend to be rich, what's wrong with this world?
Tang Wan reacted first, coughing twice to remind Jing Yan.
As a third-level alchemist, Jing Zhu didn't see so many high-grade spirit stones, but her snobbery just now was too ugly, and she didn't know what to say for a while.
"Okay, right?" Feng Sheng put away the spirit stone and wanted to turn around and leave, "Since your Dan Pavilion is such a hospitable way, then I'd better go to the Wang family to buy medicine." ”
Feng Sheng was about to step out of the Dange store with Tong Tong, but was stopped by a voice,
"Old man, please stay!"
