Chapter 206: The First Arrival (2)
Next, Ling Xingnan entered Boran City accompanied by Ling Chong.
Along the way, Ling Chong asked Ling Xingnan a lot of questions, such as where did he come from, who else was in the family, and what were his plans for the future? Ling Xingnan naturally didn't answer him truthfully, only thinking that he had injured his head not long ago, and there were many things that he couldn't remember for the time being, so he relied on these lies to perfunctory the past.
And Ling Chong is most likely skeptical, but he is also a smart person, seeing that Ling Xingnan does not want to say it clearly, he also has unspeakable secrets. Originally, there were many people like Ling Xingnan who came from outside, and there were many people in Boran City, and the city never asked too much about the origin and past of these people, as long as these people were willing to live in Boran City and didn't cause trouble.
In the Nanzhan state, each city has a written rule that has been handed down since ancient times: as long as it is registered and approved by the city lord's mansion, and a name tag representing the identity and name of the person is issued, one can live in the human city.
Therefore, Ling Chong directly led Ling Xingnan to the City Lord's Mansion, on the one hand, according to the instructions of the disciple of the Absolute Sword Sect, and on the other hand, there was also a reason to help Ling Xingnan...... And more importantly, Ling Chong wanted to see how the City Lord's Mansion was going to accommodate him, the eldest brother who had just met him! After all, as far as he knew, there were very few young people like Ling Xingnan who had cultivated in the late stage of the Yi Dao realm in Boran City.
Ling Chong took Ling Xingnan to shuttle around the city, turning left and right in a street and alley, Ling Xingnan had already been unable to distinguish between southeast and northwest.
He looked at the humans living in the city along the way, most of these people had the middle and late stage of the qi path, and even the children had the early stage of the air path. There are only a small number of people who have cultivated in the realm of Consciousness, and most of these people are not young. On the contrary, young people like him in the late realm of the Dao realm are rare. Or maybe they didn't see it at all.
Therefore, along the way, many people looked at him with strange eyes. Maybe it's because of his face, or maybe it's because he was cultivating in the late stage of the Dao realm at a young age.
Ling Xingnan looked at the many strange shops on both sides of the street, including appliance shops, protective shops, herb shops, antiquities shops, hundred academies, and sundries shops......
These various shops were dazzling and dizzying to Ling Xingnan, and there were too many new things to see at one time, and he could only see a rough idea.
Suddenly, Ling Xingnan remembered something and asked Ling Chong beside him, "Brother." Is there a map around here that sells the Lingyun World Realm?"
"Map, why does Big Brother want to buy a map of the Lingyun World Realm?" Ling Chong paused for a moment and asked rhetorically.
"Yes, I may have injured my head, but I can't remember many places! I want to familiarize myself with the geography and see if I can remember something......" Ling Xingnan replied.
Ling Chong saw that Ling Xingnan mentioned the matter of hurting his head again, and he didn't believe it at first, but now that he mentioned it again, he immediately believed it.
"Yes, of course...... Let's go. I'll take you!" Ling Chong said.
"It's just...... It's just that the map is expensive?" Ling Xingnan asked embarrassedly as he walked.
"The map of the Lingyun World Realm...... There are three types, one is a rough map, on which only the approximate location of each place is marked. This kind of figure is not expensive. The second is the detailed map, which marks the places and routes on the map in more detail, and some of the larger places can be found on the map. This kind of diagram is a bit more expensive. The third type is the fine plot, in which the large and small places on the map are marked accurately. And there are text descriptions and precautions in each place...... This kind of diagram is much more expensive. Ling Chong explained to Ling Xingnan in detail.
"That'...... How much do you have to sell for each of the three maps?" Ling Xingnan asked.
Ling Chong glanced at Ling Xingnan and continued, "The rough map requires ten low-grade Yuan Stones. Fifty low-grade meta-stones are required for the detailed map, and five hundred low-grade meta-stones are required for the fine diagram......"
"Inferior...... Is it a Yuan Stone?" Ling Xingnan heard what Ling Chong said, and immediately said with a shocked face.
"Big brother won't even forget the Yuan Stone, right? This is the trading coin that our entire Lingyun World Realm is using...... Ling Chong saw Ling Xingnan's face look suspicious again, as if he didn't even know the most basic Yuan Stone.
"Brother, this ...... Didn't I hurt my head, I almost forgot about the past!" Ling Xingnan said embarrassedly again.
Ling Chong listened to Ling Xingnan's explanation, and was so surprised that his mouth opened wide, and he didn't close it for a long time, so he had to shake his head and sigh after the last moment...... Alas, it seems that your head injury is really not light!"
After speaking, Ling Chong saw Ling Xingnan's face embarrassed, and he was speechless for a long time.
Ling Chong could only take the trouble to explain: "Big brother, this Yuan Stone is the most common trading currency in our Lingyun World Realm, as long as it is anywhere in the Lingyun World Realm, as long as it is between humans, of course, some demon beasts are estimated to be fine...... You can use the genus yuan stone to buy and sell transactions. However, this genus is divided into several kinds, namely the lower genus Yuanshi, the middle genus Yuanshi, the higher genus Yuanshi and the best genus Yuanshi, and there seems to be a legendary genus Yuanshi...... What is it called...... Mysterious Genus Primal Stone?mysterious Genus Primal Stone...... No, it's not right, it's called a god-level Yuan Stone!"
The first time Ling Xingnan heard that the trading coin in the Lingyun World Realm was actually something called Yuan Stone, and it was also divided into several categories, he really wrote it down seriously.
He still didn't say a word, just waiting for Ling Chong to continue.
"That's right, it's called a god-level Yuanshi...... I still heard the head of the City Lord's Mansion mention this once, but it is said that this kind of god-level Yuan Stone contains divine power, which is rare in the world, and even the god-man realm monks have not been able to find a piece and a half. As for the others, the low-grade and medium-grade primordial stones are more widely circulated, only the high-grade genus and the best genus are less common, but they are much more common than the god-level primordial stones......"
"How is the exchange ratio between the various genus Yuan Stones calculated?" Ling Xingnan asked.
Ling Chong glanced at Ling Xingnan and said, "Medium and inferior are 1 to 100, high and medium are 1 to 1000, high and best are 1 to 10000, god and superb...... It should be 1 in 100,000, or 1 in 1,000,000? Maybe more......"
Ling Xingnan immediately remembered the basic common sense that Ling Chong said.
It didn't take long for the two of them to come to a large Baiyuan store, led by Ling Chong.
"Brother Lin Chong, what kind of wind blew you here today?Oh, it turned out that I also brought distinguished guests here......" Ling Chong and Ling Xingnan had just walked to the entrance of the Baiyuan Academy, when suddenly an old man who looked like a shopkeeper came out of it and greeted Ling Chong.
This shopkeeper seems to be in his sixties, but his body is very tough, his face is ruddy, his body is strong, and the cultivation that exudes from his body is actually the middle realm of the Dao of Meaning.
"Hehe, it turned out to be the king's shopkeeper...... Why are you looking at the door of the store in person?" Ling Chong also laughed when he saw the old man.
"Ha Luha, stay at home all day, this old bone is going to be moldy too...... It's still good for you, doing things for the lord of the city, and you don't have to worry about food and clothing all day long. Unlike us businessmen, we have to worry about supporting our families all day. Shopkeeper Wang also said with a smile.
"What did the shopkeeper Wang say? Who doesn't know the ability of the shopkeeper of the Dao Wang, when ten thousand beasts attacked the city, but he made great efforts for our city...... Ling Chong said with admiration on his face.
"Alas, people are old, and they still say that what did they do back then? By the way, they have been standing for a long time, and you haven't introduced this distinguished guest to ......" After all, the shopkeeper Wang is old and yellow, and after a few words of greeting, he pulled the topic to Ling Xingnan.
"Oh, look at my memory. This is my eldest brother in the same clan...... His name is Ling Xingnan, and he is also the person who the gods and people of the Absolute Sword Sect asked me to introduce to the City Lord...... "Although Ling Chong is not very old, he is extremely experienced when he speaks.
"How...... You also have a big brother from the same sect?Why haven't I heard you say it before?And at such a young age, your cultivation is already so profound......" Shopkeeper Wang kept looking at Ling Xingnan and said slowly.
"Hehe, my eldest brother is indeed a little different, otherwise he wouldn't be deeply valued by the gods of the Absolute Sword Sect......" Ling Chong glanced at Ling Xingnan, squeezed his eyes at him, and then introduced Ling Xingnan: "Big brother, this is the king shopkeeper of this bookstore......"
Ling Xingnan understood, and immediately said to the shopkeeper Wang: "Ling has seen the shopkeeper Wang......
Seeing this, Shopkeeper Wang smiled and said, "Brother Ling is young and promising, and his future is limitless...... But I don't know what is the so-called thing when you come to my little academy today?"
When Ling Xingnan heard this, he also smiled and said, "Shopkeeper Wang is too high-minded, Ling just wants to buy a map of the Lingyun World Realm......
"The map of the Lingyun World Realm, I don't know which one you want?" the shopkeeper Wang turned his head to look at Ling Chong, and asked the most slowly.
"Ordinary rough maps......" Ling Xingnan said.
"Ordinary?" Shopkeeper Wang was startled and glanced at Ling Chong again.
Ling Chong saw the expression of the shopkeeper Wang, and really stepped forward and said, "Shopkeeper Wang, here are ten low-grade Yuan Stones, you can give my eldest brother a copy!"
After speaking, Ling Chong handed the ten black low-grade Yuan Stones that had already been prepared in his hand to the shopkeeper Wang.
Seeing this, the shopkeeper Wang actually pushed it with one hand and smiled at Ling Chong: "Hey, Brother Lin Chong, you can see the outside." Your eldest brother came to our store for the first time, and he just wanted a rough map, so how could I be embarrassed to take money...... This map can be regarded as a gift from our store to Brother Ling. ”
The shopkeeper had already glanced at a fellow behind him, and the man saw the opportunity, and quickly took out a map of animal skins from the storage compartment of the bookcase and handed it to the shopkeeper Wang.
"This ......" Ling Chong didn't expect the shopkeeper Wang to be so generous, and when he was about to say something, he was preemptively said by the shopkeeper Wang: "Brother Ling Chong, don't say anything more." This map is even a little bit of a friend made by Wang and Brother Ling when they first met, maybe there will be more troubles for the two of them in the future......" (to be continued......
