Chapter 231: The Prosperity in the City (Two in One)

In winter, the sun is a little warmer, and the wind is slightly chilly, and it is a little cold.

But with the sound of buying and selling, the conversation came.

Jiang Cang and his entourage rode their horses and stopped on a dirt road, looking forward, the area of Lingcao City a hundred meters away in front of them did not have the towering walls of those cities seen before, but the stalls of a famous trader, forming the 'outer city wall' of Lingcao City, branching out a 'street'. ’

And as the traders came and went one after another, supporting the cloth and setting up stalls, the area of Lingcao City was gradually expanding, as if the area of this city would never stop.

And the periphery of the 'stall city wall'.

Pedestrians, knights leading horses, and young ladies from rich families in sedan chairs, they are also stopping in front of the stalls, or ordering the guards to take silver, asking all the answers, and it is a lively scene.

It was as if walking on the 'walled street' that was being expanded, and I was infected by the noisy atmosphere, forgetting the bitter cold of winter, and the crowd dispersed to block the cold wind blowing to the northwest.

"Lingcaomen is really prosperous."

Jiang Cang praised and dismounted, and there were pedestrians passing on the dirt roads around him, stretching for several miles, counting from all directions outside Lingcao City, and there was an endless stream of people coming.

There are disciples of a certain sect like themselves and others, and there are also businessmen with shrewd faces.

A small group of merchants, like the original stall owners, came to the outskirts of the stalls, roughly aligned the cloth, and expanded the new street walls.

Soon it was paved to himself, and before he and the others took a step, they came to the Spirit Grass City.

But more merchants rushed in, and then walked into the street, to see if there were any vacant stalls.

Jiang Cang looked around, and also saw that some stall owners had sold their things, or the harvest was not good, so they left here and were occupied by these people.

Look ahead.

As far as the eagle looked through, about a mile away, a complex of buildings began to appear, which should be regarded as the 'inner city', the real Lingcao City.

It is estimated that these vendors who are outside will have to collect their stalls and go back to the city at night, or go back to where they came.

With such an increase and decrease, although the area of Spirit Grass City is expanding, it does not occupy a territory of thousands of miles like that.

"I'm here for the first time.." Many law enforcement disciples were also amazed when they saw this person coming and going.

Because the prosperity of this Spirit Grass City is more than ten times the least compared to the most prosperous Wind Forest City of the Tianyang Sect, it is completely incomparable.

"It's still the foundation of the Lingcao Gate." A middle-aged law enforcement disciple next to him sighed, as if explaining, "They own the territory of an entire state, and there is still a lot of spiritual land in their territory, so that if the sects outside the nearby states need medicinal materials, they will come to them to buy them." Over time, the trade road was opened, and Lingcao City naturally prospered. In just a thousand years, although no one from the Lingcao Gate has added a brick or tile to the Lingcao City, it has also formed a thousand-mile city."

"That's true." Jiang Cang nodded, feeling that what this senior brother said was very right, as if he was quoting some explanations of real business phenomena, such as stepping into the 'tea mountain and mountain villa' in the innate realm world. ’

This is a place where more and more people gather, merchants and buyers gather together, not prosperous, but also made into a financial street, a financial city.

"Let's go." Jiang Cang thought for a few breaths, didn't delay anything, and took the disciples who also dismounted, and led the horses towards the city market.

Cheng Yaoshang's letter was given to a pharmacy shopkeeper, his brother, who was not in the outer city, but in the inner city near the center.

But along the way.

Jiang Cang didn't pay attention to anything.

Also look around, look at the stall, look at the goods over there, in case there's anything interesting.

Among them, there are knives, guns, sticks, axes, hooks and forks on the nearby stalls, up to the secret books of martial arts that I don't know whether they are true or false, and down to the famous calligraphy and paintings, rich bracelets that I don't know where to get them, everything is available, not only the mainstream elixir in Lingcao City.

When Jiang Cang saw this scene, it is no wonder that this place can still attract some romantic talents, rich daughters, there are too many commodities in this place, which are available and needed from all walks of life.

At least I walked around, and I saw a small mink cloak hanging on a wooden pole on a stall, which was really good-looking, and it must have fitted and suited me.

"What did Steward Jiang like?" The disciple next to him saw that Steward Jiang was looking around, and while protecting, he followed Steward Jiang's gaze and looked at the stall next to him.

It seems that Jiang Cang nodded like this, or paused twice more on a commodity, and they would not have a word to buy that thing.

"Take a look around."

Jiang Cang's eyes moved elsewhere again, buying things is a trivial matter, mainly to see how many peers have come here.

Especially when his group walked this small half-mile journey along the flow of people, there is really a way.

Look to the right.

Jiang Cang saw a middle-aged man wearing a gray cloth cotton coat on a stall, who was a 'Yuan Ability'. ’

And not only his peers, but also his own acquaintances. ’

In the Three Kingdoms World, the businessman who ran away early when he saw that the situation was not good. ’

Now, he looks like he has started his old business again, walking in the business of walking, and coming to a lively place to get some 'oil and water'. ’

And Jiang Cang glanced at him twice, his physique was only '7.7', and there was nothing on the stall, so he didn't look at him.

Including the businessman who saw Jiang Cang's majestic momentum, he looked up at Jiang Cang and the others a few times, and he didn't dare to look at it more, let alone have any curiosity, as if he didn't know Jiang Cang.

At the same time, Jiang Cang walked past his stall, and his divine sense swept to his plain appearance that he didn't seem to know himself, and there was nothing strange about it.

Because under the influence of the rules of Yuan Energy, everyone's faces are 'subconsciously shielded'.

For example, if two Elemental Beings meet in the previous world, they look familiar, but they see each other in the next world, and the other person does not have any 'impression of the face' of the other person, as if they do not know each other.

Unless it is a friend, and there is a desire to let others see it, or to speak directly, the other party can only recognize who the person finally recognizes according to the ability used.

And Jiang Cang didn't take any road, just took this road, he could still find the businessman, and he could recognize him for the first time, not that the two were friends, but also found his Yuan Energy imprint, but that there was still his 'breath' guidance in the Jianwei Newspaper.

As long as he is in a world, at the ends of the world, he has nowhere to hide, and he can always find him.

But he has no enmity with him, unlike the rest of the people in the Three Kingdoms world, according to Dong Zhuo's death, he can guess his identity, and in the future, Chang'an will be in turmoil, and he will be in danger, so he can't stay.

Then this new world is refreshed, and his face is covered, so let him go first.

Let's see if the merchant will continue to do business in this world, or if the situation is not right, and run away as early as before.

It's more or less a good Yuan powerhouse, and maybe you have some ideas.

And besides him.

Jiang Cang came to the vicinity of the inner city, looked around again, and found that there were young men dressed as down-and-out knights, a woman sitting in a sedan chair on the west side, and servants who followed a small group of merchants, and there was a guy in the shop over there, all of whom were Yuan Ability.

It's a lot.

Seeing their familiarity with this road, the guys in the store over there are familiar with the posture of entertaining guests, and it is estimated that they have been here for a long time, and they are familiar with the road and the guests.

It is estimated that as soon as the news of Lingcaomen came out, they came here early, working part-time, leading horses doing rough work, waiting for something.

Also.

They are not themselves, they have the gate sect as their backers, and the exercises and pills are enough.

On the contrary, when they come to this world, how uncomfortable and uncomfortable they are, they have no qualifications, no strength, they really can't do anything, they don't dare to do it, they can only wait.

For some low-strength primordial powerhouses, even if they don't get any news in the end, coming here is a big treasure.

Working here, saving money, buying a pill, and cultivating for a good period of time, it is a holy place for practicing martial arts, and a place for yourself and others to improve their strength at a high speed.

Otherwise, if you change to other regions, it will be difficult to buy useful exercises and pills if you have money.

Now that we've all met, we have to get to know each other a little bit.

Jiang Cang thought, remembering their appearance one by one, and passing by the street where they walked, collecting their breath with the Gazetteer Beacon, like the merchant, he didn't have any special care, but he also left a trace mark in the bead.

No matter who it is, the strength is high or low, and the heart of defense is indispensable.

And then on the way to the city.

Let's take a look.

Jiang Cang found that most of the realms of the 'Seventeen Yuan Capable Beings' he saw along the way were in the acquired world, with a physique of about '7', and a low one of less than '5. ’

It can be seen that they have no qualifications and no strength, who knows how they will live after they come to this world, and they will be more than half a year young.

Maybe the identity of their subordinates and servants is really not a disguise, but they really have no foundation to cushion, in order to survive, begging for a bite of food, that can only be done from small people.

From this point of view, except for the woman who seemed to be married to a large family, among them, the merchant who ran away in the Three Kingdoms World was the most powerful among them.

Could it be that he killed himself in the Three Kingdoms World, like a wind sweeping away leaves, and killed the people of the first tier?

The primordial beings who were called strong in later generations have not even left a name in their own world?

So that there are no masters swimming today?

But.

Jiang Cang felt that they must all be hiding and wanted to play with more yin.

When you think about it this way, there's really nothing wrong with it.

Because the people who can follow the first world are only a small group of people, like pearls in the sea, who have heard and seen them, but who can dive to the bottom of the sea to find and see them in person.

They are like ghosts, they have experienced so much life and death, their minds have long been twisted into the eye of a needle, they only recognize the thread that can be threaded, who will recognize people, they will only move after threading, and if they don't pay attention to it, they will hurt people.

They are not profitable, and they may be hiding in the city now.

There are only a lot of disciples of the Spirit Grass Sect in the inner city, and if they want to get anything, it must revolve around the inner city.

After all, they will come here, in addition to the elixir in Lingcao City, it is also because of the news of that 'supernatural person'.

And Jiang Cang thought about this, and after a while, according to the 'town sketch' handed over by a law enforcement disciple beside him, a rough microcosm was formed in his mind in an instant, and the planning map was 'differentiated' by the primordial beings who came and went here.

It is divided into five floors.

One is the 'edge', which is the primordial power who hasn't come here yet, so don't mention this.

The second is the 'outer circle, the outer city', which is the ordinary Yuan Energetic people who wander around the outside of the city and want to fish in troubled waters.

The inner circle is the inner city, and some people who are unprofitable and can't afford to be early may be hiding here, wanting to have a relationship with Lingcaomen.

In the center, there are the Yuan Beings who have already connected with the disciples of the Spirit Grass Sect, and they may be the 'Divine Powers' who are preparing to contact the Spirit Grass Gate. ’

After that, for the 'end', it is the people who are now in the Lingcao Gate and want to try to get in touch.

Perhaps, now some people have 'allied' with the supernatural beings in the Spirit Grass Gate, or they have been killed, or they are the primordial beings who have come and gone to the end of the line, seeing that things cannot be done and that the situation is not right, they turn around and say that the younger brother just wants to buy some medicinal materials.

No way.

It's really unfamiliar with life here, and it won't be stuck, it's really said that it's dead, and it's gone, but it's not a joke.

And Jiang Cang thought about these things, and after seven miles of turning and turning all the way, he also came to a pharmacy in the inner city.

Looking ahead, there were four Lingcao Sect disciples standing on both sides of the door, with long knives hanging from their waists, looking back and forth at the pedestrians on the street, guarding the medicine shop behind them.

Jiang Cang looked at it, this shop is right, it is a store in Lingcaomen, and then look at the signboard, 'Cheng Ji', which was opened by Cheng Yaoshang's brother.

"Tired." Jiang Cang took a few steps forward, took out the letter in his arms, and handed it to the disciple in front of the door who was cautiously paying attention to his group.

"Wait a minute.." This disciple hugged his fist towards Jiang Cang, and looked at the clothes of Jiang Cang and the others, yes, he was a guest of the Tianyang Sect.

Then go with the disciples to report.

Jiang Cang looked around, and also saw the surrounding vendors, laughing and chatting chivalrous and passers-by, and there were really a few people with good physique, who were higher than the merchants, but they did not reach the innate.

Time.

Jiang Cang looked at them, and he didn't shy away from them, and sometimes he looked at them, just like he saw passers-by on the street, usually.

But.

When they saw Jiang Cang and his party in the pharmacy, they didn't dare to look at it generously, but smiled politely, even if they had the heart to go to the store, they were careful to go around the road, and they didn't go today.

Because they saw that the masters of the Lingcao Sect were carefully entertained, and eighty percent of Jiang Cang's party was also from a big faction, how could they dare to offend themselves and others?

There are risks in going to buy pills together, in case something is not done well, the voice is heavy, and the strong man is disgusted, what should I do?

"Steward Jiang, please!" It didn't take a few breaths before a polite laugh came.

The people who came and went nearby even saw the 'Lingcao Gate and the Outer Gate Cheng Steward', and they actually came out in person, hugged their fists and saluted Jiang Cang, indicating that the hospitality was not good, Haihan Haihan.

'He's a big man!' When several Yuan Powerful people saw it, their hearts tightened, knowing that this big man was also a steward in a big sect!

Fortunately, I didn't pay much attention to it just now, and I didn't enter the store, so I didn't accidentally offend people.

Otherwise, this continent is a world of sects, strong cooperation, if you offend which sect, where can you run to the ends of the earth?

Then let's go now, when this big man is gone, after buying the pill, I and the others will try to hook up with those disciples.

The primordial beings who can infiltrate the inner city are all careful, so careful that they seem to be delusional of victimization.

In this way, they avoided all possible contradictions as much as possible in order to survive until now.

And the other side.

In a room on the second floor of the pharmacy.

Jiang Cang and Steward Cheng saluted each other, put the tea on the table, and talked about trivial matters, as well as Cheng Yaoshang's affairs.

Jiang Cang didn't hide anything, and said directly: "Jiang Cang wants to go to the Lingcao Gate, I don't know if Manager Cheng may recommend it?" ”

"Going inside the door?" Steward Cheng was stunned for a while, and when he thought that Steward Jiang was taking care of his brother, he seemed to respond, and as if asking: "But go to learn the art of alchemy?" If you are learning medicine, there is a special school in the sect to teach you friends outside the sect. ”

"Not really." Jiang Cang didn't hide anything, "I just joined the medicine hall as a manager, I don't know any alchemy, and I have no intention of learning it." Now he is only responsible for the procurement of pills. ”

"This.." Steward Cheng groaned and touched his bearded chin, "Steward Jiang is like this, this is a bit difficult to do."

He stood up and thought about it, he also cared about his brother, and Steward Jiang took care of him, so he said in other words: "Three days later, early in the morning, I am going to go to the door and get some goods." ”

Steward Cheng said, walked to the cabinet next to him, and took out an account book from it, "Steward Jiang is a distinguished guest of the Tianyang Sect, and he is in charge. You should be able to go down and choose medicinal herbs at the door. ”

"Thank you." Jiang Cang hugged his fists and saluted, smiling, and knew that there was no friendship with Cheng Yaoshang, and looking at the appearance of this Cheng manager, it was going to be 'carded'.

Because I bought the pill directly from the Lingcao Gate, and bought it from Steward Cheng here, the price fluctuated a little, and the price I bought was the 'external price'. ’

If it's an image, let's take an analogy.

Steward Cheng is like a 'shop' outside, the price is more expensive, and the price is clearly marked, and everyone is at this price.

Lingcao door is the 'manufacturer' of his purchase, as long as there are people in the factory, the customer is still led into the door, and the price of the factory is gone.

By analogy, which store will push the door-to-door business to the factory where it buys goods?

Don't say anything about the two relationships, it will always be better to sell cheaper, and promote the two relationships.

Lingcaomen was originally in business, and its power was at the top of the Lingwu Continent, so it was not afraid of things, and if something happened, Lingcaomen led a group of sects.

Therefore, it is a good thing for the sect that Steward Cheng can sell more silver and exchange more treasures, and the Lingcao Gate will become stronger and stronger, there will be more and more thugs, and there will be more and more people who will help fight the first bird.

All interests dictate.

Lingcao Gate is to support 'external retail. ’

Because the elixir in their hands is 'in short supply.' ’

It can be seen how difficult it is to enter the Spirit Grass Gate.

Whether it's buying pills or trying to learn as a 'steward', it's not so easy to enter.

It doesn't matter at all, it's really standing outside the door and watching, just like those powerhouses in the inner circle and outside the store.

And Jiang Cang thought about this, picked up the teacup and saluted Steward Cheng who politely returned the salute, thanks to the help of his friends, he came to the end at once.
