Chapter 18: Interstellar Traders

In the short distance of 500 miles, Zhang Yue walked for more than ten days before he arrived, and during this time he observed many things that Zamuhe and He Zhijiong did not mention.

First of all, due to the soil quality problem, climate and environment, there are very few vegetables and other crops in the Demon Cloud Continent; only the "Spirit Breeder" can cultivate a little and then eat the Spirit Valley alone; although there is no shortage of meat, spirit wine, and aquatic and seafood products from rivers, lakes and seas, and most of them are conducive to the health and longevity of people in the cultivation realm, but the dishes on the table are inevitably a lot more monotonous, and Zhang Yue faintly feels that there are unlimited business opportunities here.

Secondly, Zhang Yue found that there were no Taoist temples or temples in Moyun, and even the people of Moyun did not know what religion was; ordinary people only toiled every day to survive, and this was simply a planet without "faith".

The biggest surprise given to Zhang Yue by the Land of Demon Clouds was the abundance of medicinal herbs, and he actually "picked up" along the way to more than a dozen kinds of spirit grass, and most of them are higher than the existing grade in their hands, although they have not reached the second-level spirit grass, but the number is so large that it is unimaginable, this is still the place where he and Xiao Jin deliberately avoid the infested of fierce beasts, most of them are only collected on both sides of the official road; the only thing that makes Zhang Yue a little frustrated is that, according to He Zhijiong, these are not worth a few dollars, and every hundred first-level spirit grasses can be exchanged for a low-grade spirit stone, and only when they reach the second level or above can they be sold for a large price; Guarding, it is difficult for ordinary people to pick them, Zhang Yue simply planted all of them in the green book.

His cultivation at this stage is too low, and he wants to go directly into the deep mountains and Daze to collect spiritual grass and find materials, which is tantamount to a fool's dream, and he can only lose his life in vain, only to reach the late stage of qi refining, which is barely almost; Zhang Yue does not want to improve his realm, and he has five hundred ready-made spirit stones in his hands, but he has too much true yuan income from He Zhijiong, after all, it is not his own cultivation, although they have all been transformed into "Xiaomu Jue" True Yuan, but it is far from being pure enough; in the past year, Zhang Yue has been cultivating and absorbing all the time except for practicing guns, and he has barely completed it until now; without the guidance of Zha Muhe, his cultivation speed has taken a sharp turn, and he even plans to consolidate it in the next step, and he must not make the slightest mistake.

The most distressing problem for Zhang Yue at this stage was how to make a fortune, after all, if he wanted to refine a "spirit weapon" spear, it would easily cost thousands or tens of thousands of spirit stones, and the five hundred pieces in his hand were far from enough.

Zhang Yue traveled all the way, mostly in the "free clinics" to help others, but he was extremely shrewd, but in this regard he would never take the opportunity to blackmail, this is his nature, otherwise he would not have been expelled from the hospital back then; this is also the reason why the medical centers are concentrated in the city.

Selling vegetables is a way to make money, but it is not yet available, at least in the big cities.

Zhang Yue couldn't help but feel sad and imagined that in order to accumulate cultivation resources, he was carrying a basket of cabbage and selling it along the street; it was indeed a little miserable, they all arrived in the cultivation realm, and they were still mixed like this, I don't know if there is a "chengguan" here, and whether they will be chased and jumped......

The gold in his hand can be exchanged for some spirit stones, after all, the quantity is too limited; as for the "ginseng" and other medicinal materials, he does not have the slightest confidence, and the ones in his hands are all wholesaled for a few yuan, and the most expensive batch does not exceed a few tens of yuan......

"Is there no other way out?"

Thinking about it all the way, I unconsciously came to a village near the "Black Rock City".

"Uncle Liu, you said that the 'city entry fee' will increase in price, is it true?"

A group of idlers in the shade of the trees at the entrance of the village, talking about their daily routines, one of them asked a shirtless leper with a leprosy head, and they didn't even notice that they had arrived at Zhang Yue under a big tree nearby.

"I guess it's not far from ten. ”

The man who smoked a cigarette pouch in the middle and was called Uncle Liu said.

"The last time I went to the winery to send Linggu, I heard the steward say that the eighth day of the first month of this month is the day when the new city lord takes a concubine, and the posts are all sent to the winery. ”

"This new city lord is really shameless, not to mention the previous city lord, he has to rob other people's daughters as concubines. ”

A short black man next to him said.

"Don't talk nonsense, be careful of getting into trouble. ”

Uncle Liu hurriedly stopped.

"Isn't this at home, besides, don't say it's a person in Blackstone City, the surrounding ten miles and eight villages don't know, such a big movement, even the deaf can hear it. ”

The strong man said unconvinced.

"Open your mouth quickly, if you don't want to live, don't bother everyone, do you know, the new city lord is not only an immortal master, the kind that can fly, I heard that he is still a 'caster'; to destroy our village, it is estimated that a slap in the face is enough." ”

"Also, I heard that he was originally a friend of the former city lord, and he was invited by the city lord to help, but I didn't expect that this favor would help someone else's bed; his own woman was asleep, and the city lord naturally couldn't swallow this breath, and took the four commanders to fight with others for a day, not an opponent; in the end, four of the five people died, and the two commanders surrendered to others, and guess what?"

Uncle Liu lost everyone's appetite.

"What's wrong?"

Everyone asked eagerly.

"All those who oppose him, except for the women he has taken a fancy to, have all been destroyed, and there are no chickens and dogs left!" Uncle Liu said in a low voice.

"Really?"

Everyone sighed.

"I heard that after the mayor of the new city officially took over, every merchant had to pay an extra 20 percent of the tax, which is called the urban construction fund; each resident of the city had to pay a poll tax of one gold coin per month, and the original second commander and a group of his subordinates set up a 'law enforcement brigade' to be responsible for collecting taxes; and in case of resistance, they would either be arrested or killed. Uncle Liu continued.

"With the new city owner's money-making methods, it is only a matter of time before the 'entrance fee' rises; take advantage of the fact that it has not risen now, hurry up if you need it, so as not to spend more money in vain; well, everyone disperses. ”

Uncle Liu knocked the cigarette pouch pot and put away the fire sickle.

"Go back and tell the women and babies at home to keep their mouths in order, don't get into trouble, by the way, Erlaizi, aren't you going to go into the city to prepare a dowry for your daughter? Hurry up, don't forget to bring more fire sickles back for everyone, while the price of things has not risen too much, prepare more to come back, this thing, every family can't do without it." Uncle Liu said, got up and wanted to leave.

The fire sickle, which Zhang Yue did not really know until the cultivation realm, was a primitive ignition tool, and it was extremely inconvenient to use; Zhang Yue had seen it in "Huangshuwan", and for this reason, he also specially sent a lighter to He Zhijiong; there was no way, it was inconvenient for him to take out the contents of the green book, otherwise he would not be able to justify himself.

"The secrets of the green book must not be exposed!" this is the repeated advice of Zamuhe; half a box of cigarettes and a lighter are the few things he has to carry with him, who made him a smoker.

He Zhijiong was so shocked that he even called the lighter "tinder" and carefully told him not to show it; he reluctantly accepted it after thousands of pushes; Zhang Yue laughed secretly at the time, saying that he had a lot of it in his hands.

A way to make money suddenly burst into the mind of Zhang Yue, who used to be a businessman: "A few uncles and big brothers walk slowly, I am a hawker who sells fire sickles." ”

Zhang Yue appeared in front of everyone, took out ten disposable lighters, and began the first peddling of "interstellar traders".
