Chapter 81: The Golden Jade Hall
Ning Hao was taken to a good guest room by the housekeeper, the room had everything, it was very comfortable and clean, Ning Hao, who had walked for a day, couldn't help but take off his light clothes and fell on the bed. It's just that before Ning Hao could fall asleep, there was a knock on the door outside.
Ning Hao opened the door and saw that it was Liu Chun, only to see Liu Chun holding two cans of wine in his hand, and said, "Are you interested in chatting a few words above?" As he spoke, he pointed to the eaves.
Ning Hao took the flask and came to the roof first, and Liu Chun also arrived.
The sunset gradually disappeared in the eyes of the two, leaving only a residual light, and they tried to provide the last bit of light to the world, and on the opposite side of the sunset, a little starlight had already appeared in the sky, so that the pedestrians who were still on the sheep intestine ancient road couldn't help but look up at the beautiful scenery of this world, but Ning Hao and Liu Chun were on the roof, looking at the pedestrians on the empty sheep intestine ancient road, occasionally taking a sip of wine, but it also had a different flavor.
After a long time, Liu Chun put down the wine jug and said, "I didn't expect that you have been away from the Divine Tower Gate for two years, and your progress is very fast, and you have broken through from the middle level of the Wheel Movement Realm to the upper level of the Finger Gang Realm. ”
Ning Hao took a sip of wine and said: "I have my own chances, but you, not only have your strength risen to the bottom of the Daluo Realm, but even the future lady is also Lan Zhihui's heart, and she is beautiful and moving, I think you are a double harvest of career and love." ”
Hearing Ning Hao say this, Liu Chun couldn't be happy, Ning Hao also saw Liu Chun's strange appearance, and couldn't help asking, "What's the matter, did I say something wrong?" Liu Chun evaded, "By the way, have you seen her in the past two years?" "Who?" Ning Hao was puzzled. "Beixue, have you ever seen her?" "Beixue?" The corners of Ning Hao's mouth rose slightly, and he said, "Speaking of which, I haven't seen her since that time in the mountain behind the Divine Tower Gate."
Night had quietly fallen, and under the starlight of the sky, only two young people were still laughing and drinking on the rooftop
Early the next morning, Liu Chun came to Ning Hao, because Liu Chun was going to the ghost market to inspect the family business, so he planned to ask Ning Hao to go with him, and after a heart-stopping drink last night, Liu Chun's attitude towards Ning Hao had changed. And Ning Hao had already woken up, instead of staying in the guest room and doing nothing, it was better to follow Liu Chun to see what the rumored inner market was like.
The two soon came to the outside of the ghost market, the ghost market was like a spider's web, centered on the auction of the Hu Yan family, and the four big families including the Liu family and the Yang family surrounded the auction, all the way to the outermost outer market. Since the ghost market is underground, when entering the inner city, it is entered by water, and all those who enter the inner city must take the ships of the four major families before they can go ashore.
Ning Hao and Liu Chun sat on the boat of the Liu family, although the boat is not big, but it can also accommodate about 20 people, the boat is equipped with a tea set case, in the case of the small boat rippling slightly, take a sip of warm tea, and watch the people coming and going on the river, there are stalls, there are those who negotiate the price, and there are those who wander around, but also achieve another kind of comfort.
According to Liu Chun, those who enter the inner city should take the ships of the four major families, firstly, to prevent some suspicious people from getting in, and secondly, it can also be used as a kind of surveillance to prevent some irascible people from breaking the rules of the inner market. The four families basically have their own fixed guests, such as some elders and bishops in the Divine Pagoda Gate, etc., usually these guests want a huge amount of goods, and the four families will also be cheaper for them;
With Liu Chun's introduction, the ship entered the interior of the ghost market, and the noise outside just now gradually weakened. However, even if he entered the interior of the ghost market, the surrounding light had not decreased, and through a curtain of fine yarn, Ning Hao looked outside, but saw that there was a transparent stone inlaid with a pearl of the night on the stone wall every short distance, glowing with a faint light.
Soon, Ning Hao's boat came to a dock, which was guarded by dozens of people, including a wooden house. Seeing a ship approaching, one of the guards quickly ran into the cabin. After a while, the guard followed a man out of the cabin.
Standing in front of the guard was a middle-aged man in his thirties, with a scar on his face, which made the already fierce appearance even more fierce. Ning Hao probed his divine sense outward, and found that except for the fierce and vicious man standing at the front, who was the same as Liu Chun, who was the lower level of the Great Luo Realm, the rest were all in the lower or intermediate level of the Finger Gang Realm.
Ning Hao followed Liu Chun ashore, and as soon as the middle-aged man saw Liu Chun, a smile appeared on his originally fierce face, and he came to Liu Chun's side and said, "Young Master, why do you have time to come here today, master?" Then he saw Ning Hao behind Liu Chun, and asked again: "Who is this?" "Uncle Lu, this is my friend, by the way, my father has not been feeling well for a while recently, so I will be on patrol for a while." In the face of this fierce man, Liu Chun was quite polite. "In this way, come on, call a few people to follow the young master. Notify me as soon as something happens. Lao Lu said to the guard behind him. "No need, Uncle Lu, I'll go and see for myself today, and go shopping with my friends by the way. After Liu Chun finished speaking, he immediately gave Ning Hao a look, Ning Hao understood, and quickly left behind Liu Chun.
Since Liu Chun talked about this, Lao Lu didn't dare to say anything, but Lao Lu didn't dare to let Liu Chun walk around at will, in case something happened, so Lao Lu only sent four guards to follow Liu Chun and Ning Hao from a distance, and once something happened, it would be good to take care of it.
Liu Chun took Ning Hao to the land, after a while, Ning Hao finally came to the inner city that he had only heard of before, all the shops were chiseled out of the stone wall, and the scale of each shop was not small, which required a huge project, which was larger than Ning Hao's project in excavating the ancient tomb, and the most important thing was that all the shops were arranged on both sides in turn, in clear order, there were monopoly pills, spirit grass, danding, refining raw materials, treasures, etc., and even daily necessities; According to Liu Chun, the population of the ghost clan has always been more male than female, so many of them can't marry their daughters-in-law, and there are also many cultivators who came here from the rest of the Seven Realms, and they are tired from the journey, so they go back inside to drink and listen to music, and those girls in the "Spring Courtyard" are just accompanying the wine to eliminate the fatigue of the guests, so they won't do too many excessive things.
Liu Chun took Ning Hao into a store specializing in selling pills, the scale of the store is very large, it is divided into three floors, the first floor is mainly the lower grade pills, and the pills on the counter are also everything, there are many Ning Hao who can't even name them, and the customers in the store are also endless. Strange to say, since coming to the inner market, although the road pedestrians come and go, there is no noise like the outer market, everyone just walks on the road, sees the need of the store before walking in, after buying immediately left. Even in the storefront, everyone just quietly looked at the things on the counter, and few people made a sound.
Although he is very unaccustomed, Ning Hao also guessed some reasons, in the inner market is not better than the outside market, the things in the outer market are obtained by the loose cultivators through various means, and the things are all mixed, and they are put out without identification, so if you are lucky in the outer market, you will occasionally find some good things, and if you are unlucky, you can only buy fake things. And the things in the inner city, all the items are on the shelves after being identified by the four masters, even if there is really a day when you look away, the probability is like looking for a needle in a haystack.
Ning Hao was thinking about it, but when he heard Liu Chun calling him to go up to the second floor, Ning Hao shook off the distracting thoughts in his heart and went up to the second floor with Liu Chun.
The second floor is a place to buy and sell Chinese pills, and compared to the first floor, the second floor has many fewer items and sparse customers. Liu Chun did not hesitate, did not linger too much on the second floor, and took Ning Hao straight up to the third floor.
The third floor is the place where the pills are sold, as Ning Hao thought, the items on the third floor are pitiful, and there is not even a shadow of a guest, it is no wonder that the items on the third floor are too expensive, only one next to Ning Hao is called "Yuanyang Dan" It takes twenty diamonds (in currency, one gold coin is equal to one hundred silver coins, and one crystal diamond is equal to three hundred and sixty-five gold coins), Yuanyang Dan can be powerful in the power of fire-based martial arts, and taking one Yuanyang Dan in the realm below the Zhigang Realm can break through two or three stages in a row, and taking Yuanyang Dan in the Zhigang Realm can break through one stage, but it is invalid to break through to the middle level of the Daluo Realm.
Although the elixir can help the realm break through, any realm that is broken through with the elixir is not consolidated like through one's own cultivation, the foundation is unstable, and the meridians are not strengthened, so many people would rather choose penance than take the pill to break through, unless it is a last resort.
After the inspection, Liu Chun took Ning Hao out of the store and came to the street, as for those special pills and best pills, Ning Hao didn't have a chance to see them for the time being, the special pills and the best pills are extremely precious, under normal circumstances, the store will not have this thing, unless it can be seen at the store headquarters or at the auction.
Liu Chun took Ning Hao to a house called "Looking Back Pavilion", looking back at the pavilion is also three floors high, the top is paved with glazed tiles, it looks full of brilliance under the illumination of the translucent stone, the guests in front of the door go back and forth frequently, looking at the guests who come in and out of the pavilion, Ning Hao concluded that this is a "spring courtyard", but what did Liu Chun bring himself here for? Ning Hao looked in the direction when he came, he had already walked at least half of the way, and the remaining guests were also a lot, but not as much as this time to look back at the pavilion.
However, Ning Hao's worries were obviously unnecessary, and after staying in front of the door for a while, Liu Chun planned to turn around and leave. It's just that as soon as the two of them took a step, a voice full of provocation and disdain came from behind them: "Isn't this Young Master Liu, why don't you go in and sit?"
Ning Hao looked in the direction of the voice, but saw a young man in his twenties, holding a one-foot mountain and river fan, wearing a delicate jade pendant on his waist, and a young man with a dozen guards who looked like ten sons and brothers came to Ning Hao and Liu Chun, and said, "Young Master Liu, why, I haven't seen you for a while, so you don't remember me?"
Ning Hao originally thought that Liu Chun would ignore this young man like he was following the Divine Tower Gate, but unexpectedly, Liu Chun turned around uncharacteristically, smiled, and said:
"Who dares not to know the eldest young master of the Jin family, Jin Yutang!"
