[0059] Wanshang Alliance, trade imagination
In the Heavenly Desolate Wonderland, human beings are not actually the rulers who occupy the main body, and the real masters of the Heavenly Desolate Continent are the endless and extremely powerful desolate beasts.
The so-called desolate beast is a kind of extremely powerful transcendent life, which is divided into three types: scales, feathers, and beasts, each of which has thousands of races. Most of them are huge, not weak, and in groups.
The flesh and blood of the beast is the best food for warriors, warlocks, and priests. Coupled with the strong power of the leylines, the proportion of human cultivators here is staggering. The body of the desolate beast also produces a lot of materials for refining and casting weapons, and what is more cherished is the inner pill, essence blood and beast soul of the desolate beast. But the beast has no brains at all, and it is a strange kind of life that does not produce intelligence.
This makes it possible to distinguish between desolate beasts and demon beasts.
At the beginning, when human beings were still uncivilized and ignorant, the demon clan struggled to resist the wild beasts and maintain the inheritance of wisdom.
It was not until the rise of the Terrans, especially after Fuxi Nuwa led the Terrans to unify for the first time, formed a tribal alliance, and became the co-master, that the Terrans began to develop rapidly, and their strength quickly caught up with and surpassed the Demon Race.
In order to resist the desolate beasts, the human race and the demon race team up to take eggs and form an alliance. Even after the demon clan learned from the experience of the human race, they followed suit and formed the demon alliance, which now has 13 royal families, 180 royal families, and a large number of upper, middle, and inferior races.
The demon clan is even an ally of the human race, and after the combination of some immortal-level demon beasts and humans, they also give birth to offspring, called half-demons. Some half-demons are vassals of the demon race, but more half-demons have become subordinates of the human race, after all, the human race is more prosperous and advanced than the demon race.
On the periphery of the Terran territory, some powerful half-demons gather their own kind to guard the frontier for the Terrans. After making great contributions, you can even be nominated by more than three super clans to be knighted and stated. From the Bo Kingdom, the Hou Kingdom, the Duchy to the highest kingdom, including the Qingqiu Country, the Fox Clan, etc., more than 800 semi-demon feudal kingdoms have now been established.
For the human race and the half-demons, the main role of any city is to protect the large number of gathered clansmen, as well as to resist the desolate beasts.
Just like the Shiwu City in front of Tang Jinglin, the city wall is 100 meters high, made of huge stones, and then poured and melted red copper to bond, becoming a solid barrier. This kind of city wall is helpless with ordinary artillery shells, and at least high-power explosives or high-power missiles can be broken.
What's more, in addition to the physical defenses of the walls themselves, there are also protective circles arranged by warlocks, and blood altars arranged by priests. The scientific and technological weapons of mankind need to use nuclear bombs to be captured, and this is only the city established in the central part.
To block the desolate beasts, at least three or more fourth-level desolate beasts (Jindan stage) can be attacked.
Tang Jinglin was now dressed in fur and rode a tall horse with sharp horns and scale armor, called a wildebeest, which looked like a tribal boy who had just entered the city from a village in the countryside.
This wildebeest was captured by Tang Jinglin from the wild, and its strength was about equivalent to that of a mid-level martial artist, and now it has been tamed by the unique beast control technique of the Heavenly Desolate Fairyland. As for the fur, it was exchanged by Tang Jinglin for a caravan that specialized in trading with the small tribes of the wilderness. In exchange for a high-grade barren tiger skin with an area equivalent to twenty times the size of this set of furs, he was really a profiteer, and he was even darker than him.
The wildebeest carried Tang Jinglin directly through the city gate that was more than thirty meters high, and the guards guarding the gate were all second-level martial artists, and he was very speechless when he saw it. However, there was no inventory, and there was no entrance fee.
One is the enemy of the human race, the wild beasts, don't even have brains, let them develop human rape, even if they really want to be the leading party, the wild beasts don't recognize it!
Another is the exploits of the Earth Emperor Shennong, he specially issued an order that no checkpoints should be set up between the human cities, and the income of city fees and the like made trade extremely prosperous, and now even many cross-regional chambers of commerce have been formed.
Nine of the top ten most powerful chambers of commerce were established by the nine super tribes, and the benefits brought by them have basically accounted for more than three-tenths of the tribes. The last Four Seas Chamber of Commerce, ranked third, was established by the Terran scattered cultivation in the East China Sea and the South China Sea, and now its strength has surpassed all the upper parts, and it is known as the Terran power closest to the super tribe.
Through the more than 300-meter-long city gate hole, Tang Jinglin finally entered Shiwu City. The wide streets, the lively scenes, and the wonderful exotic atmosphere all made him feel very wonderful.
According to Shi Kang's memory, Tang Jinglin walked through several streets familiarly, and finally came to his destination, Wanshangmeng.
The Wanshang Alliance is a special organization led by the ten major chambers of commerce, which is located in every city of the human race and half-demons, and penetrates into the major demon races, mainly to provide a convenient place for each caravan to trade in the early days.
Today, in addition to serving as a trading market, it also integrates functions such as catering, accommodation, finance, auctions, shopping, information exchange, and task release.
It can be said that the location of Wanshangmeng in each city is one of the most prosperous places and the most important landmarks in that city.
Here, as long as there is enough currency, there is not much that cannot be bought. Whether it's the resources for cultivation, or the practice of exercises.
Yes, what surprised Tang Jinglin the most here was that the unified currency of the Terran Race in the Heavenly Desolate Continent could be used for the trading of ordinary items and cultivation resources. Because the cultivation resources of the Heavenly Desolate Immortal Realm are too rich, and the currency is guaranteed by the nine super tribes of the human race and all the upper tribes together with the Wanshang Alliance.
In addition, the red copper coins, Xuantie coins, Gang silver coins, Geng gold coins and spirit jade coins commonly used here are all refining materials. So these currencies are not even credit money, but are in the category of general equivalents.
Tang Jinglin came here, naturally, to trade and search for information.
As a miscellaneous disciple, Tang Jinglin knew that he had made it when he thought that he could monopolize a channel for trading between the two realms, especially since the Heavenly Desolate Immortal Realm was so vast and the resources were so rich.
Even, many of the elixirs here are not used for alchemy. If there is a prescription, boil it into a decoction and use it for oral administration or medicinal bath. Most of them were swallowed raw, and the utilization rate of the elixir was less than one-tenth.
The reason why it is so wasteful is that it is indeed rich in resources, and more importantly, it is the scarcity of Danshi. After all, because of the abundance of resources, no matter how high the proportion of cultivators here is, but because of the qualification requirements, the proportion of alchemists is relatively not that high. Generally speaking, at least the lower part is necessary to have the strength to cultivate your own alchemist.
And the elixir resources are too abundant, and the alchemist can only turn a small part of them into elixir.
On the contrary, the bitter alchemists on the earth do not have enough elixir for them to refine in many cases. Tang Jinglin's worry-free grocery store was able to directly receive a lot of elixir materials, and he easily established a good relationship with many alchemists, and the other party had to use the elixir in exchange for the elixir.
"With the elixir of the Heavenly Desolate Fairyland, as well as other resources, I just need to bring them back to the earth, find those alchemists, refiners, array masters, etc. to process them into the corresponding finished goods, and the trade between the two realms will be very profitable!" Tang Jinglin smiled secretly in his heart, today he is just coming to make a trip.
