Seven days later, Han Bing stood on the lively official road of the Shining Gold Country, and he inquired about many places along the way, so the original three-day journey, he took seven days.

The first time he came to the Shining Gold Country, Han Bing was deeply shocked by the small country in front of him, which mainly produces ores, but has a prosperity similar to the Medicine King Valley.

South Korea hid the breath of his whole body, pulled the brim of his hat down, blended in the flow of people, and walked slowly.

The cultivation of the Shining Gold Country is not developed, and the whole country is still dominated by mortals, rich in ores, but only lacks spiritual stone veins, which causes the lack of cultivation resources here, and the cultivation of local monks is not high.

Han Bing's gaze swept to both sides of the street from time to time, looking for shops where phantom crystals might exist. A small shop selling strange stones caught his eye.

Han Bing came to the store, the owner of the store was busy in the counter, Han Bing casually looked around the store, this store is not big, just a mortal store.

"Guest officer, please choose at will. Behind the counter, he bowed his head and greeted politely.

Han Bing glanced around and shook his head, most of them were some strangely shaped ornamental stones, which were of no value. Just as he was about to leave, his gaze inadvertently found a hedron in the corner of the counter in a pile of small ore objects, this spar was blue all over, and the appearance had been polished to be quite smooth and crystal clear.

Han Bing's eyes lit up, he poked out his divine sense, looked at this stone, and found that there was actually a power of stars in it, this power was very weak, if it was not a person with superb cultivation, it would be difficult to find it, let alone a mortal.

Han Bing walked over, picked up the spar from the counter, looked it up and down, the spar was very heavy, warm and cool in the hand, and there was a heavy feeling.

"Guest officer, if you want this, a discounted price, seventy copper coins will do. The shopkeeper's smiling face leaned in.

"How many of these stones do you have in this shop?" Han Bing asked casually, but his heart was full of surprise at this time, he had already determined that this kind of spar was indeed the phantom crystal he was trying his best to find.

"How much does the guest want?" The shopkeeper immediately became interested, and as he spoke, he rummaged through the locker in the corner, took out a small cloth bag, and after a brief inspection, said with a smile: "There are more than a dozen." ”

Han Bing took the cloth bag and asked, "Is there only so much?"

The shopkeeper was stunned for a moment, and said: "Yes, this is all the inventory, and the guest officer thinks it is not enough? Speaking of these gems, they were bought from a foreign merchant at the border a few years ago, and no one cared about them in the store, so they were disposed of at cost price." ”

"Can we find more of these stones?" asked Han Bing.

"I'm afraid it's hard. The shopkeeper smiled bitterly and said with some embarrassment: "This kind of stone is not produced in the Shining Gold Country, the previous supplier was originally from the Eastern Saint Country, I haven't seen him for many years, I think it is very likely that he died in the war, and we have no business dealings with the Eastern Saint Country." ”

"You mean, this stone is from the Eastern Saint Kingdom?" Han Bing said in surprise.

"It should be, after all, that supplier is from the Eastern Holy Kingdom. The shopkeeper said truthfully.

Han Bing pondered for a moment and said, "If I want the shopkeeper's help to buy a large amount of this ore, is it possible to receive it?" ”

"Is the guest officer a cultivator?" the shopkeeper asked in surprise, his face full of reverence, and then nodded again and again: "Of course you can, I'm willing to try." ”

"Then ask the store to collect it for me, I want as many as I want, there is no limit. Han Bing said, and then took out a high-grade spirit stone and put it on the counter.

"Top-grade spirit stones!" exclaimed the shopkeeper.

"It's a deposit. ”

"Okay, okay, I'll notify a few friends right away and ask them to help post the news. The shopkeeper excitedly put away the spirit stone, glanced at Han Bing again, and turned around and walked towards the inner room.

Han Bing accepted the phantom crystal.

These mortal shops can accept the transaction of spirit stones, he has long known it, and an ordinary spirit stone can be exchanged for a gold coin, which is equivalent to 10,000 copper coins, after the store receives the spirit stone, it can naturally be exchanged for mortal currency at a higher rate in the cultivator's shop, and there is still a lot of profit margin.

The top-grade spirit stone is originally a rare resource in the Sunset Star, and it is rare even in the monk world, especially some loose cultivation. Although in Han Bing's eyes, these high-grade spirit stones were nothing, he knew how scarce the spirit stone resources of the Sunset Star were.

Han Bing suddenly felt a hint of happiness, fortunately, the phantom crystal was not recognized by the monks here, otherwise, how could he have purchased it at such a low price.

Shao Lean, a few people walked out of the store, Han Bing knew at a glance that these people should be the shopkeeper's family, they were happy, nodded to Han Bing enthusiastically, and soon walked out of the store.

"Don't worry, I've already asked my wife and a few children to go out, many shops here are familiar with us, and there will be results soon." As the shopkeeper spoke, he took out a wooden chair from behind the counter and invited Han Bing to sit down and rest.

"Why did the guest officer specifically buy this blue ore?" asked the shopkeeper curiously, handing over a cup of tea.

"Oh, I was originally a traveling merchant in the northern Zhao Kingdom, and when I first came to the Shining Gold Country, I found that this kind of stone had a strange shape, and I thought that I would go back and process it, maybe I could sell it for a good price. Han Bing said with a smile.

The shopkeeper laughed, "Then I wish you a prosperous business." Han Bing's statement, he didn't doubt that he had Han Bing's idea many years ago, otherwise he wouldn't have come in these goods, but later he found out that this kind of stone is extremely hard and difficult to process, and it can't be sold after polishing it, so he gave up, these hidden secrets, he naturally wouldn't be stupid enough to tell Han Bing.

Han Bing waited in the store for about an hour, and the woman and several children came back, and they didn't buy the magic crystal in stock.

"That's it, guest officer, we have already greeted the fellow store, they will also help collect, tomorrow morning, I will personally go out to the far door, to the border to try my luck, the guest officer might as well come back in a few days, how about it?"

Han Bing nodded and said, "Then according to what the shopkeeper said, I'll come back in 20 days." ”

"Good. ”

Han Bing walked out of the shop and continued along the street, along the way, he walked a few more shops to inquire, and even went to the monk's shop, and sure enough, he found nothing.

Out of boredom, he searched the streets aimlessly for days. Until a guard stopped him.

"This friend, there is a cane in front, this place has been blocked, please go back. "The guards were polite.

Han Bing saw that the fence had been blocked in front of him, and there was not a single pedestrian, according to the map location, this place was almost to the border, and then it was about to reach the forest country.

"Could it be that Pang Lin Guo is also beating a cane?" Han Bing hurriedly saluted and asked politely.

"Yes, it has been a few days since the invasion of the undead army, and in a few days, the Xiuzhen Alliance will have troops to reinforce it. The guard glanced at him and said casually.

"Thank you. Han Bing didn't want to ask too much, he was a businessman, and he was afraid that asking too much would arouse the suspicion of the guards, so he thanked the guards and left in a hurry after pretending to be very nervous.

Han Bing went all the way back to the shop, and asked for a room to stay in an inn not far away, but for now, he could only wait for news from the store. He had already prepaid the deposit in the same way in some shops in the neighborhood and agreed on the same pick-up date.

......

In the alliance headquarters, in a small, heavily guarded council hall, six people sat around a round table, and the first one sitting was naturally Mu Tiezhen, the leader of the alliance, and the other five were all at the level of deputy alliance leaders.

In the council chamber, a conspiracy is going on, and the atmosphere is a little weird.

"What does Vice Alliance Master Ding mean by using the marriage between the Xiuzhen Alliance and the Cloud Mist Sect Master to solve this trouble?" Mu Tiezhen, who was sitting in the first place, said after being silent for a long time.

"That's right, that's exactly what I mean, Alliance Leader, think about it, once the marriage with that Han Bing is successful, then he is equivalent to the son-in-law of the Xiuzhen Alliance, and when we deal with Stormwind City, he will not stand on the opposite side of us, right? The Ding deputy alliance leader said with a sharp gaze.

"Then what if he doesn't want to get married?" Mu Tiezhen's eyelids moved slightly, and he asked.

"Then it depends on who we are planning to marry, there is no shortage of women with outstanding appearance and temperament and cultivation at the alliance headquarters, everyone here can recommend it. Deputy Alliance Leader Ding squinted his eyes and said in a low voice.

"This-"

Everyone began to talk in a whisper, and even Mu Tiezhen was a little tempted, getting rid of Han Bing, a thorn in his eye and a thorn in his heart, had always been something he had always dreamed of.

"Elder Liu's eldest daughter, the conditions are okay. ”

"Sun Protector also has a daughter, which is worth considering. ”

"The old sect master of the Bishui Sect, doesn't he have a granddaughter with excellent talents?"

"No, the juniors of the affiliated sects and elders are afraid that it will be difficult to impress each other in terms of origin. ”

"Yes, we have to show enough sincerity, and the woman we choose should at least be the deputy leader of the alliance or the descendant of the alliance leader. Deputy Ding's eyes flashed, and he said, "I have a girl in my family, but it's just ......."

"Haha, Lao Ding, your girl is still saved, her appearance is too bad, don't say that Han Bing can't look down on it, even I ...... Alas. Someone laughed loudly.

"You old immortal. Deputy Alliance Master Ding stood up angrily, pointed at the other party and scolded, while scolding, his eyes glanced at several other people intentionally or unintentionally, especially Mu Tiezhen, who was speechless next to him.

"What do you say, Elder Mu?" someone suggested.

"Well, this proposal is good! Compared to my Xiaoqian, it is a hundred times stronger, but I don't know—can the alliance leader be willing to do it?"

Mu Tiezhen's expression was awe-inspiring, he glared at Vice President Ding fiercely, slapped the table and shouted: "Okay, your surname is Ding, you have made so many turns, it turns out that you are beating my daughter's idea!" Mu Tiezhen was so angry that his face trembled, Mu Qingying was his favorite daughter, and she was actually calculated by several subordinates to take it out as bait.

Vice President Ding spread his hands, made an innocent expression, and said: "Don't be angry, Lord Alliance, I really want to recruit him as my Jackie Chan son-in-law, and I also proposed Xiaoqian, but everyone disagrees." With that, he lightly touched the man sitting next to him with his foot under the table.

"Alliance leader, please calm your anger, everyone is now gathered together to discuss and study, as for who will be selected in the end, it still has to be unanimously approved, right, everyone. Deputy Alliance Master Chen, who was sitting next to Vice Alliance Master Ding, said immediately.

After Deputy Alliance Leader Chen finished speaking, another person echoed him, and the remaining two Deputy Alliance Leaders had a rather ugly face, and glanced at Mu Tiezhen from time to time.

There were six people at the entire conference table, and three of them were on the side of Ding's deputy alliance leader, although Mu Tiezhen was the alliance leader, these deputies could barely be regarded as supporting him, and there were only those two old men who didn't say a word.

Mu Tiezhen's sharp gaze swept across the audience, he felt aggrieved in his heart, several deputy alliance leaders had reached the late stage of Huayuan, and their strength was almost the same as his own, but when it came to some important meeting decisions, even if he disagreed with his own opinions, he could not forcibly intervene.

"Why don't we discuss and see if there is a more suitable candidate? Ding Vice Alliance made a haha, and easily resolved the tense atmosphere.

Everyone began to talk to each other for a while, Mu Tiezhen listened to everyone's discussions, his face became more and more ugly, and after a while, his baby daughter's name appeared frequently, as if he had become the protagonist of the debate.
