Chapter 135: Disgusted
"But people are not as good as heaven, no one would have expected that this generation of emperors would be born, and it took more than three hundred years to eliminate resistance under various decrees and iron-blooded suppression;"
"And a certain amount of power strife has formed within a controllable range, and this land has been quiet for hundreds of years, and there has been more blood, which has given birth to more geniuses;"
"For example, the kind of cities at the same level of your empire that can attack and encroach on each other, except for the county of course, and other policies to stabilize the national capital, slowly, a new mode of competition has been formed;"
"It is precisely because of the forced pinching of many moths and the lack of greed for pleasure that the strength of your empire can be slowly stabilized, and slowly improved, and continue to make the surrounding people fearful;"
Hearing that cities of the same level could attack and devour each other, Lu Ling remembered the disaster of exterminating the clan back then, and suddenly felt a little in a trance, and some expectations that there would be something left, and he didn't want him to make any efforts.
Lu Ling replied a little absent-mindedly: "Is it? In other words, the Ziyang Empire was stronger before?"
Yang Cheng replied without hesitation: "It should be, it's all in the book;"
Lu Ling changed the topic and said, "Okay, let's not talk about this, let's talk about why you thought of coming here to practice!"
Yang Cheng said unabashedly: "Because this place is relatively peaceful, there is a struggle, but it is much safer, this is the preferred training place for the young disciples of many surrounding forces;"
"Much safer?;"
When Lu Ling heard this sentence again, he was particularly puzzled why he thought that the Ziyang Empire was safer than the outside?
"Why isn't it safe outside? And I don't feel safe!" he didn't quite believe it, because the family had been wiped out in such a relatively safe place.
Yang Cheng sighed and said: "Alas, Brother Ling, if you can go out and see in person, you will know what kind of world it is outside, ordinary people live tremblingly every day, even like me, they have to be careful to ensure that there is a life, compared to us, the Ziyang Empire is really heaven;"
Looking at Yang Cheng, Lu Ling still didn't believe what he said, but it didn't look like he was lying.
But think about it, he is going to find a virtual person, so sooner or later he has to get out of here, and he will always see it in the future, so he didn't continue to dwell on this issue.
"Wanbaolou has arrived, wow, it's so big and so tall!" Luo Shu in front said excitedly, interrupting the chat of the three.
The three of them followed and looked over, Yang Cheng and Yu Dao were nothing, maybe they had seen too much, but Lu Ling once again refreshed his cognition of Wanbaolou.
The Wanbao Tower in this place should be the best in the entire empire, it is three floors higher than other county towns, there are twelve floors, and the appearance looks more exquisite and beautiful, and all kinds of carved decorations are beautiful.
Yu Dao finally spoke, and said, "Let's go, go and see, I've collected the tears of heaven, I hope there is the last thing we want here;"
Then the five of them entered the hall together, which was also wider than the other counties.
A few people came in and looked around, and soon found the Lingcao District, Lu Ling also said happily: "This is the imperial capital, the specifications should be higher, let's go, that is the Lingcao District, go and find it;"
A few people turned right and went straight to the Lingcao District, where an old man received everyone.
The old man said slowly: "Guests, what do you need to purchase, tell the old man, and the old man will take a look for you;"
Lu Ling smiled and said, "Then there is Lao Lao's family, we are here to find an elixir, a fourth-order primary condensing crystal flower, may I ask if it can be sold;"
"Oh, there is a Dan Practitioner among you?" the old man did not say directly, but asked.
"That's not true, we bought it for another purpose;" Lu Ling thought of Yu Dao, but still denied it;
The old man slowly walked to the counter, slowly sat down on a rocking chair and said, "Condensing Crystal Flower, the main use is to refine four or five grades of Ice Spirit Pill, Meditation Pill, and Exorcism Pill, and these kinds of pills are selling very well;"
A few people didn't know what the old man was going to do, so they could only listen to what the other party said, and at the same time, it could be regarded as increasing their knowledge.
I saw that the old man slowed down and continued: "The production of this thing is really limited, it has always been priceless and in short supply, and because it is only produced in that extremely cold mountainous area, so to speak, its value is not lower than that of the intermediate spirit grass of the same grade! Are you sure you want to buy it?"
The five of them listened intently to the old man's words, and they couldn't imagine that this thing still had so many uses, but, listening to his words, some of them were sold here, so of course they had to buy them.
Yu Dao stood up and said, "Old man, if you have it here, we will buy it;"
Because Yu Dao looked around the counter, the best things were only the third order, and the fourth order things still didn't seem to be put out, just like other places.
The old man closed his eyes and said, "Yes, there is, but this is a valuable item, it cannot be sold at will, it is usually put at auction, if you need it, please buy it at the auction!"
"Hey~" Yang Cheng wanted to say something, but was stopped by Lu Ling.
Walked over and said to the old man kindly: "Old man, my brother and I are both Xuan-level members of your building, you see, can you be accommodating;"
As he spoke, he took out a delicate silver-white card and shook it a few times in front of the old man's eyes.
The old man opened his eyes, his eyes showed a look of surprise, and said: "Oh, you two little babies are actually Xuan-level members? This is unusual, could it be that some big force came and came out to gild;"
Lu Ling couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth, and continued to say patiently: "No, we are all local, seniors, we really need Ning Jinghua very much, and we hope that our seniors will help, and even if the price is ten percent higher than the auction, it will not be a problem;"
When the old man heard this, he shook his rocking chair and said with a smile: "Listen to this tone, you little babies are rich masters, then I say, the price is two thousand five hundred first-grade energy crystals, do you still want them?"
When Lu Ling heard this, he really wanted to scold this old man, and he dared to sell five hundred things at a price of two thousand and a half.
But before Lu Ling could get angry, there were already people who couldn't help it.
The old man looked at the ugly faces of several people, closed his eyes again and said, "I know you don't have any money, so, don't pretend, let's go, don't come to disturb the old man's rest;"
"Peng~" A bag was placed directly on the glass counter with a bang.
At a glance, it was actually Pang Ying: "Old man, there are two thousand five hundred first-grade energy crystals here, a lot of one, collect money, and then quickly take out the things;"
A few people didn't expect the old man to be a master, so as soon as they raised their hands and grabbed it, the cloth bag was in the other party's hand, and they opened it and looked at it.
said: "It's really two thousand five;"
Who knew that the other party returned the cloth bag to Pang Ying again, and said: "Now, two thousand and five are not for sale, but three thousand;"
After saying that, he closed his eyes directly, and another clerk who just walked over next to him, although he heard it, he just stood there expressionlessly and didn't say anything.
Yang Cheng couldn't help but ask loudly: "Hey, is this how you Wanbaolou deceives consumers?
There were already a lot of people around, and when they heard that there was something to see here, they all gathered around, and the old man got up, but his face was not too good-looking.
He stared at Yang Cheng vaguely, whispered something in the ear of the clerk next to him, and then walked to the inner room without looking back.
Yang Cheng shouted angrily: "Hey, don't go! You old disrespectful old guy, you come out and explain clearly;"
"Five hundred things, you actually shouted for two thousand five, we put up with it, you actually said you wouldn't sell it when you gave you money, and in an instant you changed it to three thousand, you have the ability to come out and explain it clearly;"
"That seems to be Qian Kuan, Qian Danshi just now, right?"
"Yes, yes, I saw it from afar;"
"Which kind of boy and sister are these people, and they can't get along with Qian Danshi;"
"I heard that it was Qian Danshi who cheated the other party;"
"Is it necessary for a Dan Master to trick people like this?"
"It's impossible for Qian Danshi to do this, how can they trap people for a little money;"
"I also think so, I guess these people are a little tired!"
The people around pointed and discussed, and when they heard the voices around them, a few people knew that this old man's name was Qian Kuan, and he was actually a third-grade Dan master, which was surprising.
He was also curious, this old man is a Dan Master, is it necessary to embarrass people like this?
Lu Ling and Yu Dao looked at it helplessly, and it was estimated that they would not be able to buy it today.
At this time, the clerk next to him spoke: "Don't talk nonsense, you have just been here for a long time, who has been talking to you about any business, just now it was obvious that you insulted Qian Danshi;"
"I lost it, and I can still do this;"
"We were still talking about it just now, why just~;"
Yang Cheng and Lu Ling said together, Pang Ying and Luo Shu nodded in support at the same time, and Yu Dao was silent all the time, it seemed that this guy was in a very good state of mind;
Who knew that the clerk laughed and said: "Hmph, you are originally together, who knows how many people have been deceived with this trick, and now you still want to deceive us Wanbao Lou, and don't look at what kind of place this is;"
"Our Wanbaolou has always put guests first, how could we do such a thing, Master Qian is in a good mood today and I don't blame you, I advise you to leave quickly, otherwise you won't be so good-tempered for a while;"
As a result, the man's words were actually agreed by many people, and some onlookers even pointed at the five of them, scolding the liars and letting them stay away or something.
The big guys are a little ugly, and they deceive people too much, but it's a pity that they are not familiar with life in this imperial capital, and there is nowhere to talk about it.
And if you say anything more at this time, it will really end badly, and if you don't do it well, it will attract a lot of right and wrong, and the gains outweigh the losses.
"Let's go;" Yu Dao said.
Everyone left first, and when they left, the people around them were still pointing fingers at a few people, and words like liars appeared one after another.
"Hmph, I'm so angry, wait for me, you guys go shopping by yourself, I'm not in the mood, I don't believe it, I Pang Ying wants to buy something, it's so difficult, and that Qian Kuan, I remember him;"
As soon as he walked out of Wanbao Building, Pang Ying's pretty face full of anger was full of anger, and his small mouth kept muttering, Lu Ling happened to see it, and he didn't expect this girl to have such a cute scene.
