Chapter One Hundred and Seven, Tiannan City
Three days later, the courtyards in the Hot Spring Mountain were rebuilt and looked new again, and Zixue's small courtyard was also built, just in the No. 1 courtyard, next to Song Xiaoxue's courtyard, about the location of this courtyard, Zixue personally requested.
After arranging some matters, Li Dong went out and went to several markets to buy a large number of spiritual herbs, and when he came back, he went into retreat again, and this retreat was three months.
In the past three months, Li Dong has been refining pills non-stop, and he has been refining so many pills not to sharpen his alchemy, but mainly to make money quickly.
Of the four arts of cultivating truth, Li Dong is most proficient in alchemy, and in terms of the speed of accumulating wealth alone, only the pill can be the fastest.
At the beginning, it took three days to refine a furnace of third-order pills, and it took four days to refine a furnace of fourth-order pills, but later, after becoming proficient, it only took two days for a furnace of third-order pills and three days for a furnace of fourth-order pills, and it only took three days for a furnace of fourth-order pills.
Three months later, Li Dong left Hot Spring Mountain and went to Tiannan City.
This is the first time that Li Dong has gone to the main city of the Xiuzhen World in more than three years since he came to Canglan.
Although Tiannan City was only a remote town in Canglan Star, when Li Dong saw Tiannan City, he still felt extremely shocked.
The whole Tiannan City is actually built on the top of a huge mountain, well, it is like a big mountain, an incomparably huge mountain peak was flattened by people, and the city built directly on the top of the flat mountain, the city does not know how big, it is not visible at a glance, it is extremely spectacular, there are city gates in the four directions of southeast, south, northwest, and northwest, and there is a ladder hanging down from the city gate.
If you want to enter the city, you must enter from the four city gates, no one can enter Tiannan City from the sky, a large number of forbidden air formations are arranged in the city, of course, there are always privileged classes anywhere, Dao Guo Zhenjun is a privileged class, the forbidden sky formation can block the flight of the monk's sword, but it can't stop the teleportation magic power of Dao Guo Zhenjun.
Each of the four gates has a team of monks guarding the gates, and these monks are generally mid-to-late Dao Seal cultivators, all of whom are monks hired by the Heavenly Dao Temple to maintain order at the city gates and charge fees for entering the city.
The Heavenly Dao Sect is the ruler of the Canglan Star, and the Heavenly Dao Temple is the dispatched agency of the Heavenly Dao Sect, and generally the staff of the main city temples are the outer disciples of the Heavenly Dao Sect who are not enterprising and are older, these disciples are just outer disciples who are not in the stream in the Heavenly Dao Sect, but when they arrived in Canglan Star to become the elders of the Heavenly Dao Temple, they immediately became the managers of the cities, and they were out-and-out big shots.
The number of elders of the Heavenly Dao Temple is not large, of course, there is no way to rely on these few people to manage the entire city, even if they add their retinue and henchmen, it is not enough, so it is necessary to recruit people.
The recruited personnel are divided into two categories, one is the branch hall elders of the towns and villages of the Heavenly Dao Temple, this one is considered a regular job, and the benefits are very good, such as Cao Qianhe, who has been an elder of the Heavenly Dao Temple branch hall in Fairy Town for decades.
The other is some law enforcement officers who are temporarily recruited, who are considered temporary workers, and their salaries are paid daily, such as guarding the gates of various cities.
To enter the city, you need to pay a hundred spirit stones to enter the city, although this fee is not much, but it is essential, if there is no fee, no matter how big Tiannan City is, it will not be able to accommodate too many monks, there are hundreds of millions of people in the entire Tiannan cultivation realm, most of them are low-level Dao Qi monks, if there is no charge, who does not want to see the prosperity of Tiannan City? If all of them pour into Tiannan City, no matter how large the area of Tiannan City is, it will not be able to accommodate it.
A hundred spirit stones are nothing to Dao Yin monks, but for Dao Qi monks at the bottom, it is two months' living expenses for their families, and not many Dao Qi monks are willing to spend two months of living expenses to enter the city.
Therefore, the lowest way to enter the city is also Dao Yin cultivation.
At noon, a young and handsome Daoyin monk came to the east city gate, wearing a white well-cut robe, extremely handsome, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, and the two dimples faintly displayed at the corners of his mouth when he smiled added a bit of freshness and handsomeness to it.
This person looks really handsome, and from time to time when he enters the city, there are female cultivators who cast curious glances at him, and even bold and unrestrained female cultivators secretly hand him autumn waves and throw flattering eyes.
This handsome young man was also interesting, and he also responded with a flirtatious wink to those female cultivators who threw flattering eyes, and he teased several female cultivators with their cheeks, and their hearts rippled.
However, after paying the entrance fee to the city, when a nun tried to find this handsome young man, she had already disappeared.
In fact, this handsome young man is Li Dong.
The Transfiguration Transformation Pill is really magical, Li Dong may be born with a bad appearance, so he will change himself as handsome as possible, sure enough, handsome guys are still more popular with women, if he is his true face, where may there be female cultivators who throw flattering eyes at him.
Tiannan City is divided into four urban districts, southeast, northwest and northwest, the Yin family of the four major families of Tiannan is in the east city, the Hong family is in the south city, the Yang family is in the west city, and the Ye family is in the north city.
There is a large square market in every urban area, and the square market here is much larger than any square market that Li Dong has seen before, and it is also much more formal, and there are tens of thousands of shops on the two cross streets, and the flow of people is like weaving, and it is extremely prosperous and lively.
Every day, monks from various towns and villages rent a stall and sell all kinds of goods, and these monks may be disciples sent by some small and medium-sized families to bring the goods of the whole family to sell here.
It is relatively safe to set up a stall in Tiannan City, there are four major families in the town, and generally no one dares to rob in the market, as long as you pay a certain booth fee and protection fee, you can do business safely.
Li Dong didn't plan to set up a stall to sell the pills, after all, the pills he wanted to sell were too dazzling, although the third-order and fourth-order pills were precious, they were not without them in Tiannan City, but his hands were full of third-order, fourth-order high-grade pills and the quantity was huge, not to mention Tiannan City, even the entire Canglan Star would be difficult to find out such a large amount of Li Dong, once he set up a stall to sell, how much of a sensation would it cause?
Li Dong was not so stupid, he went to the stall square just to take a look around to see if he could meet some treasures that he could use at this stage, such as the top spell jade slip and cherished pill fang.
After walking around, he really found a few top-level spell jade slips that he could use, as for the Danfang jade slips, they were all ordinary goods, and Li Dong couldn't like them at all.
After some bargaining by Li Dong, the six spell jade slips cost Li Dong a total of 560,000 spirit stones.
Coming out of the stall square, Li Dong went to the most famous Eagle Pavilion in the East City.
The Eagle Pavilion is the Yin family's auction house, and this is the highest-level treasure trading place in the entire Tiannan Cultivation Realm, and there are even Dao Guo Zhenjun from other cities who often come to Tiannan to participate in the auction by teleportation array.
The Eagle Pavilion has two gates, one main entrance and one side entrance, the main entrance is only open for the first and fifteenth day of the month, the side door is only open on weekdays, and the small auction is also open once a day in the evening.
Li Dong entered the Eagle Pavilion from the side door, and a welcoming girl greeted him, the girl was about thirteen or four years old, and her appearance was also delicate, and she cultivated the Great Perfection of Dao Qi, and it was not bad to have this cultivation at this age.
"Senior, are you here for the evening auction or do you have items to send for auction?"
Li Dongdao: "Send the items." ”
The girl probably rarely saw such a handsome male monk as Li Dong, so she couldn't help but look at it curiously.
Li Dong smiled and said to the girl: "Little girl, I look quite handsome, right?" ”
The girl's little face crawled with a touch of ruddy, nodded shyly, and said, "Well, it's very beautiful." ”
Li Dong laughed, extremely happy, took out a small porcelain bottle from the storage ring, handed it to the girl, and said, "I'm in a good mood today, I'll give you a pill, you should be able to use it." ”
The girl didn't open it, thanked her, took the porcelain vase, and put it in the storage bag, "Senior, please follow me to the second floor to send the items." ”
Li Dong followed the girl to the second floor, there were several rooms on the second floor, and there was a sign hanging on each room, on which was written so-and-so treasure connoisseur.
The girl walked all the way, all the way to Li Dong explained, the items that came to the auction must be identified by a professional treasure connoisseur, and the items were scored according to the value and type of the consignment, generally with a full score of 10, and items below three points were not eligible to enter the auction house.
There are a total of seven connoisseurs in the Eagle Pavilion, and there will definitely be competition between each connoisseur, and whoever identifies more lots for the Eagle Pavilion will receive more commission rewards.
"Senior, I recommend you to go to Ren Qiu's predecessor for appraisal, because Ren senior's reserve price for the auction items is the fairest, so you won't suffer."
Li Dong said with a smile: "I'm afraid that you are in the same group as this Ren Qiu, and if you send the guests you welcome to Ren Qiu, he will give you some benefits, right?" ”
The girl was a little embarrassed by Li Dong's explanation, and her face turned red and said: "Although I accepted some gifts from Ren seniors, but what I said is also true, the seven treasure connoisseurs secretly asked me to lead the guests to them, and even some treasure connoisseurs promised more benefits than Ren seniors, but I only recommend Ren seniors to guests, just because Ren seniors are upright." ”
Li Dong sighed with emotion, it seems that some unspoken rules are almost the same whether it is the earth or the cultivation realm.
"It's okay, just go to Ren Qiu."
Seeing that Li Dong didn't blame him, the girl breathed a sigh of relief and led Li Dong into the room with the sign of "Ren Qiu Treasure Connoisseur" hanging at the door.
A middle-aged man in a navy blue robe is sitting on a recliner in the middle of the room with his eyes closed.
"Ahem! Ren senior, Xiao Han brought you a guest. The girl coughed lightly and stood at the door.
Ren Qiu opened his eyes, looked at Li Dong with sharp eyes, and saw that Li Dong was only a Dao Seal Great Perfection cultivator, and his face was slightly disappointed.
The reason is very simple, generally speaking, the higher the cultivation of the customer who comes to the auction, the more likely it is to come up with good goods.
What good things can a Daoyin monk have?
"Okay, Xiaohan, you go first," Ren Qiu stood up and politely invited Li Dong to sit down, "Fellow Daoist, please sit, I don't know what items you want to auction." ”
Li Dong sat down, and the Ren Qiu in front of him was only in the middle of the Dao Seed, and he had seen too many Dao Seed powerhouses, even the Dao Fruit True Monarch had also fought against him, so there was not the slightest low-level cultivator
A sense of restraint when facing a high-ranking monk.
"I'm going to auction off some pills."
"Pills? What grade? ”
"There are three orders, and there are four orders."
Ren Qiu came with some spirit, the third-order, fourth-order pills were also relatively precious, especially if it was a relatively rare fourth-order pill on the market, it was even eligible for a large-scale auction.
"Can Daoyou take out the elixir and let the old man identify it?"
Li Dong took out two small porcelain vases and handed them to Ren Qiu.
Ren Qiu took the porcelain bottle and opened one of the porcelain bottles, which contained nine pills, Ren Qiu poured out a pill, the maroon pill exuded a rich herb fragrance, and three circles of golden pills were clearly visible on the pill.
Suddenly, Ren Qiu's eyes widened, and he looked up at Li Dong, his voice trembling a little with excitement: "This ...... This is a third-order high-grade longevity pill? ”
