Yang Fan nodded approvingly.

Demon beasts such as long-haired pigs, iron-tailed tigers, Xuanshui snakes, golden-horned tigers, etc., all exist around them, and they have never eaten pork and seen pigs run; Even if there really is such a demon beast, I am afraid that it will live in a place that is extremely far away from here.

Following the attendant in front of him and stepping up the solid stairs to the second floor, Yang Fan couldn't help but smack his tongue secretly.

The second floor is much lower than the lower hall, only about three or four meters high, but the degree of decoration is surpassed.

The staircase sits in the middle of the octagonal tower and spirals up to the top floor. The space on the second floor is based on the octagonal of the pavilion, and there are eight spaces distributed in the shape of eight trigrams, which are distinguished by eight colors such as lapis gold, dark gold, platinum, and gold.

Standing at the top of the stairs and looking over, the load-bearing pillars came up from the hall on the first floor of the Heaven and Earth Building, submerged into the ceiling, and extended upstairs.

The pillars are non-gold and non-wood, exuding a colorful metallic color, which echoes the golden tones of the entire second layer, dazzling and gorgeous.

If Yang Fan is not mistaken, the pillars in the hall on the first floor are clearly dark brown that match the style of the woodwork downstairs.

While he was thinking, the squire had already led the group out of the stairwell and towards the platinum area in front of him.

According to the pattern of the eight trigrams, the heavens are in the south and the earth are in the north, the east is the sun and the west and the moon; the sky symbolizes the Qiangua, the brilliant heaven is mighty, masculine and mighty; the earth symbolizes the kun hexagram, the soft earth, and the mother is pregnant with all things. The east is like the scorching sun, and the west is like the moonlight.

And the white gold color area is due west.

Yang Fan looked at the items around him quietly, but found that even on the platinum-colored flower stand over there, there was a pot of snow-white flowers and plants that looked like bluegrass that could not be named, and the clear spar on the ceiling exuded a brilliant light.

At this time, everyone had already walked to the front of the counter, and the attendant who led everyone over turned to the back, whispered a few words to the middle-aged man inside, bowed slightly in the direction of Zhang Jiquan, and said "Please talk to the shopkeeper Fu if you have something", and then turned around and left.

The shopkeeper behind the counter straightened up a little fat, raised his hand, and his eyes circled slightly behind Zhang Jiquan, then a smile appeared on his face, and said:

"I don't know how many catties of fire whale oil this guest officer wants?"

Zhang Jiquan looked at him left and right, but did not answer, but smiled slightly: "This shopkeeper is a pound of fire whale oil, aren't you afraid that I won't be able to eat it and lose face?"

The middle-aged man behind the counter didn't care, still with a smile on his face:

The guest officer laughed. If I don't have this eyesight, how can I be able to do this position as the shopkeeper. ”

"The relationship between you and these people behind you is obviously not the appearance of a guard and an employer, I'm afraid they are from the same force and accompanied you to buy fire whale oil, right?"

Liu Hu's eyes flashed with a different color, and then he calmed down again, while Li Shaobai and Yang Fan were very interested, and they had another layer of understanding of the strength of this Tiandilou.

It's just a shopkeeper in the hall on the second floor, and his vision is so extraordinary, compared to the other seven shopkeepers, it should not be far behind.

Such talents, if they are placed outside the Tiandilou, I am afraid that they can directly take the lead and become a family of their own.

Zhang Jiquan smiled and stretched out his thumb: "Admire! I don't know how to sell the fire whale oil in Tiandilou?"

When the shopkeeper received this praise, he did not show a trace of arrogance, but said normally: "Within ten catties, one hundred taels of gold per catty, and outside ten catties, it is ninety-five taels of gold per catty." What do you think?"

Zhang Jiquan nodded, knowing that this was already extremely fair. Although the market price is about 100 taels of gold per catty, this price is usually on the right side of 100 taels.

Even so, there will be many businesses that add other synthetic oils and fats to it, so as to achieve the purpose of shortages and less catties, so as to make more profits.

Tiandilou is not only a fair price, but also a large number of purchases, there are even a small number of discounts to negotiate. As for the authenticity of Fire Whale Oil, there must be no doubt that Tiandilou was able to build this magnificent building in Luoxia City without being demolished.

To be a man, there is no trust, and to do business, it is more important to pay attention to integrity. If the authenticity of the goods in the store cannot even be guaranteed, how can Tiandilou achieve the position of the first chamber of commerce in Luoxia City.

What's more, Tiandilou is not just the first chamber of commerce in Luoxia City. What this signboard represents is the first chamber of commerce of the Great Xuan Empire, Tiandilou. In the fifty-seven states of Daxuan, not to mention that every city has a branch of Tiandilou, at least there are branches in every state.

According to legend, Tiandilou is located in the capital of the Great Xuan Empire, the headquarters of Zhongzhou Central City, and is a 32-story building hundreds of meters high.

Zhang Jiquan figured out the joints, nodded in understanding, and then spit out a figure that had been discussed a long time ago.

"Twenty pounds. ”

The smile on the shopkeeper's face froze, and he pulled the corners of his mouth, but he still said:

"What?"

Zhang Jiquan took out a brocade belt from his arms, pulled the tether and tilted it over, and poured out twenty milky white crystals one centimeter square on the counter made of huge shells found out of nowhere, and repeated:

"Twenty pounds. ”

"It's ......"

After Li Shaobai was promoted to the Grinding Body Realm, after a month's time, he could be regarded as stabilizing the realm, and he could already clearly sense more subtle fluctuations in his vitality.

And now, in his perception, when the twenty milky white crystals landed on the huge shell counter, the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi over there suddenly strengthened a little. The more this happened, the more he couldn't believe it. So a little bit of crystal, that's two thousand taels of gold?

"Yuanjing!"

All kinds of signs are in front of him, and Yang Fan can't help but believe it.

That milky white jade piece of one centimeter square is the legendary Yuan Jing!

The shopkeeper also reacted. Although it is not unheard of to have a bigger deal than this, it is just that most people in the world trade with real money, and the number of times he has seen Yuanjing is really not much. Speaking of which, this is the first time he has done business with a customer who pays with Yuanjing.

Most of the time, Yuanjing is not used as a coin.

As we all know, Yuan Jing is formed by the condensation of pure and rich heaven and earth vitality, and its main role is to assist monks in cultivation. A piece of Yuan Crystal can save the refiner twenty days of penance, and it cannot be used by non-large households.

Even if a body refiner can hunt demon beasts and collect earth treasures to make money, joining the army will have a higher salary, but it is not easy to save enough for a hundred taels of gold. I don't have the luxury of buying a piece of metacrystals to save time.

Among the crowd, only Zhang Jiquan, who was responsible for buying fire whale oil, carried Yuanjing. If it were exchanged for two thousand taels of gold, then with the money that others had brought, the gold and silver that the people had brought would have been too much.

Although after the founding of the Great Xuan Empire, the soldiers were strong and disciplined, but outside the city was still very dangerous.

First, in many resource-rich areas, most of them will have monsters living in them. Like Qinglong Mountain, all kinds of resources can be called everything, and there are also countless demon beasts. At the foot of the mountain live the residents of Qinglong Village, relying on the mountains to eat the mountains, and competing for resources with the demon beasts all over the mountain.

Second, there are also some population gathering places outside the city like Qinglong Village, which simply do the thing of robbing and cutting the path, not only fighting with the nearby demon beasts, but also with the pedestrians in the wilderness. For example, Menghu Village, 700 miles south of Qinglong Village, was an ordinary village many years ago, but I don't know when it became a stronghold for mountain bandits who cut paths and killed people.

In terms of location, Qinglong Village is the closest village to Menghu Village. Although the distance of seven hundred miles is far away, it is only a day and a night for the body refiner - the cultivation above the grinding body realm, galloping with all his strength can already be compared to the horse.

It is all because Qinglong Village has always had a master of the True Qi Realm in charge, so under the taboo of the rat in the Tiger Village, it has always coexisted with it without aggression. For this reason, if it weren't for a major event, Lin Qinghan would not easily be too far away from the village.

Shopkeeper Fu reacted, his white fat face was full of smiles, and even piled up a few wrinkles that didn't exist at all, and he smiled and raised his hand to pick up twenty yuan crystals one by one in the palm of his hand.

"I don't know if the guest officer will replace the odd head with gold and silver pearls, or add more fire whale oil?"

After a while, the shopkeeper finally adjusted his emotions, remembered this important matter, and hurriedly asked.

Zhang Jiquan sighed slightly: "Just add more fire whale oil." It's hard to pay the shopkeeper. ”

"That's good. Please go to the back box and sit for a while, and Fu will contact the treasury and send someone to the guest officer. ”

After saying that, the shopkeeper took out a twenty-centimeter-sized jade plate from under the counter, and took out a piece of yuan crystal out of nowhere and pressed it into a groove in the center of the jade plate.

Everyone walked around the counter and walked back, which happened to let Yang Fan see this scene. It's just that for some reason, he always feels that this piece of Yuan Jing is much darker in color than the Yuan Jing that Zhang Jiquan took out, and it is already pale white.

And the Yuan Crystal that Zhang Jiquan took out was a faint milky white.

"Click. ”

As the Yuan Crystal merged with the entire jade plate, the green brilliance emanated from above.

"What?"

A moment later, a voice sounded on the jade plate.

The box behind the counter is divided into three rows in the trapezoidal hexagram area, and the further back it is, the wider the space in the private room. Of course, the middle row is a straight square. In the space on both sides, there are two corridors.

Walking in the three-meter-wide corridor on the right, Zhang Jiquan chose a box in the center and walked in.

"Smack!"

As Yang Fan, who was walking last, closed the door, a number "eight" on the top of the door changed from virtual to real, from shallow to dark, and was as black as ink, floating on the wall.
