Chapter Seventy-Five: Taibai City
"Driving"
After about a quarter of an hour, Shen Li felt that the sky was suddenly dark, and when he looked up, he saw that it was a tall city wall towering like a mountain, blocking the sun's rays, giving people the illusion that the sky was suddenly dark.
Everyone couldn't help but stop, looking at this corner of this majestic city in a daze, and was silent for a long time, not to mention Shen Li and the guards on the side, even Steward Lin, who had worked hard in it for many years, when he came back again and saw such a majestic city, he still couldn't help but be amazed.
The city wall is twenty or thirty zhang high, the width is not boundary, majestic and majestic, simple and atmospheric, and there are some sword carvings left on the city wall, which can be seen to have been weathered.
The wars between the major kings have been endless since ancient times, and this Taibai King City was a majestic city famous for its solidity and majesty, and I don't know how many tragic battles it has experienced, but it is still standing.
Standing under this majestic city wall, Shen Li had some ambition for no reason, this kind of Xiongcheng is the place where he should fight in the future, he will eventually walk out of Jiangyuan City to see the vast world outside.
After sighing, the group naturally wanted to enter the city, because the group was lightly armed, so the procedures for entering the city were not complicated, only after paying some silver taels, the guards were released.
Taibai City is worthy of being the center of the Taibai king's territory, its prosperity is really amazing, Shen Li and his party entered from the east city gate, and after a while, they arrived at the most prosperous place in the city, the streets are criss-crossed, the traffic is busy, the pedestrians are bustling, all kinds of shops are lined up one after another, strange objects abound, dazzling, make people dizzy.
Shen Li and his party rode their horses for a while, but there were too many pedestrians, and they really couldn't walk, so they could only abandon their horses.
However, along the way, Shen really left his vision and saw the prosperous scene of the big city, if you compare Jiangyuan City with this Taibai City, Jiangyuan City is really not as good as a small village.
However, Shen Li and his party did not walk around at random along the way, and they also saw a lot of shops or chambers of commerce, most of which were places to trade ores, and they also had a lot of gains.
It was already past noon, and Shen Li and his party had been on the road all morning, so they were naturally a little hungry, so they found a restaurant, first, to fill their stomachs, and secondly, to rest.
"Young Master, how are you feeling?" would you like to rest for a while?" Steward Lin asked when it was almost over.
"I don't care. Shen Li smiled and shook his head, he is now a powerhouse of the Great Perfection of the First Martial Realm, if he can't stand it after such a journey, then this cultivation is in vain: "If Uncle Lin is tired, you can go to rest and rest, don't worry." ”
"Since the young master is fine, then I don't have to. Steward Lin waved his hand, but the tiredness on his face could not be concealed, after all, he was not as good as Shen Li, he had such a spiritual cultivation, and he was also old, so he was indeed a little unbearable to hurry down.
"Uncle Lin doesn't need to be like this, I see that you are also tired, let's go and rest for a while." Shen Lidao, for this old man of the family who has worked hard with Shen Ze since childhood, he still respects him in his heart, not to mention that he is still Wan'er's father.
"But the young master is not familiar with this place" Steward Lin was embarrassed, after all, his mission on this trip was to help Shen Li find a suitable buyer, so he naturally didn't worry about Shen Li going out alone.
"Uncle Lin is too worried, I just take a casual look, I am familiar with this Taibai City, I am not in a hurry to talk about business, I will talk about it tomorrow. Shen Lidao.
"Well, I'm sorry, I'm getting worse and worse. Steward Lin said.
"Hehe, where is Uncle Lin, you have worked hard for the family for half your life, such a thing is really embarrassing for you. Shen Lidao.
Sending Steward Lin upstairs, Shen Li changed into clean clothes, and went straight with the two guards.
Suddenly seeing such a prosperous big city, although Shen Li's surname is stable, he can't avoid the excitement of the young man seeing something new for the first time, and he wanders around.
After turning for more than half an hour, Shen Li's excitement gradually faded, and he began to think about the important things he came this time.
"Let's take a look first, now that people are not familiar with life, it is not appropriate to suddenly find someone to talk to. Shen Li pondered, and then inquired with a pedestrian, learned about a few shops engaged in the ore business, and began to search.
There is something in my heart, this time has passed quickly, in a blink of an eye, Shen Li has been shopping for more than an hour, among which the shops have also turned two or three, although the scale is not small, but there is no purple smoke stone, I asked, I also know that people have never sold purple smoke stone.
In this way, Shen Li's heart sank slightly, among so many big shops that do ore business, they don't even do purple smoke stone business, although I don't know what the reason is, but this is a big blow to Shen Li.
Walking all the way with his thoughts, a noisy sound came from his ears, Shen Li looked up and saw that it was a very large shop, which was quite luxuriously decorated from the outside, and it was also an ore business, so Shen Li raised his legs and walked in.
The business of this shop is very large, including almost everything related to ores, such as stone tools, carvings, weapons, etc., all kinds of rare ores are dazzling, which is amazing.
Maybe it was because Shen Li's clothes were too ordinary, so since he entered, no servant came up, and the people in them looked up, and when they saw Shen Li's temperament and clothes, they knew that Shen Li was not a person with great power, so they didn't bother to do useless work.
Shen Li didn't care, he just looked at it by himself, and after looking at it for a while, he suddenly saw a lilac stone at a counter, and if he looked closely, it was the purple smoke stone.
Shen was overjoyed, and was about to step forward to ask, when two figures suddenly flashed from the side and came to the front of the counter.
"What is the price of this purple smoke stone?" A crisp voice like a yellow oriole singing willow suddenly sounded, Shen Li turned his head to look, and saw that it was a woman in red, twenty-eight years old, with picturesque eyebrows and eyes, very moving.
"One thousand two hundred taels. A maid went up and replied.
"One thousand two hundred taels, why don't you go and grab it?" said the woman in red angrily, her willow eyebrows upside down.
"I'm sorry, now we are the only one who sells purple smoke stone in this Taibai City, and the price has always been like this, and we can't help it if you think the price is high. The maid chuckled.
"It's really too expensive, the highest price of purple smoke stone on the market is only two hundred and fifty taels of silver, and your piece of purple smoke stone is only four taels at most, but it is sold for a price of one thousand two hundred taels, it is a bit of a deception, right?" Shen Li suddenly spoke.
