76. Little Tianqingfang City

Tianhuang Valley is a valley on the Tian Yuan Continent, this is not a special place, whether it is a cultivator or a mortal in the secular realm, it can be visited. Although this Tianhuang Valley is a shortcut to trade for mortals, it is a very dangerous place for mortals because there is a third-order demon beast anti-scale snake growing here, and for many cultivators, this third-order anti-scale snake is not to be feared at all, any cultivator of the Jindan Realm can deal with several at the same time, but there is nothing worth mining here, if it is not necessary, there will never be a cultivator to go.

Reverse scale snakes, because the scales of the whole body are reversed, and they have horns, they look a bit like real dragons, so they also have another name is dragon snakes.

And Lu Li and Su Jue happened to have this need, because they needed a pound of dragon and snake blood.

This dragon snake blood is not ordinary blood, but a few drops of essence blood in the heart of the reverse scale snake, and the difficulty of getting together a pound of dragon and snake blood can be imagined.

However, compared to the danger of looking for the White Mist Flower in Yunmengze, a pound of dragon and snake blood is just more troublesome, after all, the strongest third-order demon beast is only equivalent to the strength of the Immortal Refining Realm, not to mention the current Lu Li, even Ye Xuan back then didn't pay attention to it at all.

But now, Lu Li and Su Jue did not go directly to Tianhuang Valley, but came to Xiaotianqingfang City, which is located in Dongyuan.

Although Xiaotianqingfang City is a small city in the monastic world, its scale is actually equivalent to a small town in the secular world. At first, this was a trading place where several nearby sects traded for barter, but because it was located on a traffic artery, there were not many cultivators who had to pass through here, so over time, a trading workshop was formed, and the few sects that bartered things here at the beginning became the managers of this small Tianqingfang City.

They have formed a team together, and in addition to being responsible for the security of Xiaotianqingfang City, they are also the behind-the-scenes owners of this Xiaotianqingfang City auction house. Of course, in addition to these, they also have their own industries in this Fang City, but now this small Azure Fang City is no longer as good as it was back then, so there are also many cultivators who have opened their own shops here, and as a price for opening a shop here, they must pay a thing to the auction house in the Fang Market every month to participate in the auction.

It can be a material, a magic weapon, a spirit animal, or anything else of value.

Of course, this value is determined by the managers of the city. However, the proceeds obtained after the auction, the auction office will only charge a certain percentage of the handling fee, and will not embezzle these things, after all, if the fang market wants to maintain, it is also necessary to rely on these loose cultivations, only with their managers, it is obviously impossible to maintain a fang market all the time, after all, they are not the four major fang cities, just a small fang market.

The establishment of each small fang city in the monastic world has its own different history, but after the formation of each fang city, it cannot be separated from a crucial issue.

Auction.

If there is no auction house in a market, or if the auction items are not in good condition, then there will be no cultivators coming here over time. After losing the most important foot traffic and these potential customers, the market will gradually decline until it finally dissolves.

Xiaotianqingfang City is undoubtedly one of the luckier among the many Xiaofang cities in the cultivation world.

More than 10,000 years have passed since they formed a regular scale, and in these 10,000 years, they are still standing, which is also a symbol of strength. It's just that their scale can only go so far, and the auction held once a month is their limit, after all, the few sects behind this Fang Market are not big sects, and it is not easy to maintain this Fang Market for so long.

In the monastic world, except for the four major markets such as Dragon Flame Black Reef Fang, Thousand Caves Tongtian Rock, South China Sea Mirage Pavilion, and Wanbao Fang, which can hold auctions every day, any other Fang Market holds an auction once a month, and some of the more powerful Fang markets may be auctioned once every half a month.

However, whether in terms of scale, quality, or quantity, there is an insurmountable gap between these fang markets and the four major fang markets, so no matter how unwilling these fang markets are, cultivators will still add a "small" word in front of them to distinguish them from the four major fang markets.

Lu Li and Su Jue stood outside a wood, raising their hands to shoot a fire talisman.

A moment later, the woods in front of them suddenly formed a strange twist, like a whirlpool whirling in front of the two of them. Immediately afterwards, the whirlpool quickly parted to the left and right, revealing a stone path, and the appearance of a lively town full of people was perfectly presented in front of the two, and the two Taoist children quickly greeted them and saluted respectfully in front of Lu Li and Su Jue.

Lu Li nodded, didn't say anything more, raised his hand and handed the other party two medium-grade spars in exchange for two emerald green rune papers.

In order to prevent anyone from destroying any city, a large array will be set up to defend against the attack of outsiders. Compared with the large array that Xuanwu Palace had laid out in White Jade City, the effect was naturally not so powerful, but in terms of power, it was much stronger than the big array in White Jade City, after all, the purpose of the two was completely different.

And if a cultivator wants to enter the Fang City, he must pay a fee in exchange for an entry talisman.

The entry talisman in Xiaofang City is one medium-grade spar per person, and the four major fangs are ten high-grade spars per person. Of course, in addition to being used to resist the attacks of outsiders, this kind of large array also plays an important role in preventing mortals from breaking into the secular world, so this is also the reason why Lu Li and Su Jue saw a forest when they first saw this Fang City, which is the same for any Fang City.

It's just that these markets will have a special aura fluctuation, as long as a cultivator passes by, they will feel this aura fluctuation, and they will naturally know that there will be a fang market nearby. After all, the people who want to be isolated in the Fang City are just mortals, and they still need to rely on these cultivators to make money, how can they even isolate the cultivators?

The status of the Fang City is usually neutral, and whether it is opened by the Demon Sect's sect alliance or the Righteous Path sect's joint sect, they will not refuse any cultivator's entry. Any cultivator is allowed to enter the Fang City as long as they pay the spars, but this is only the entry fee, if you want to find a place to rest in the Fang City, then you need to pay additional spar fees, of course, if you don't pay, you can rest anywhere on the roadside, but there is no aura for you to absorb and breathe.

"This is Xiaotianqingfang City?" After Su Jue entered this Fang City, he glanced at the surrounding situation and was a little surprised, "The scale is not bad." ”

"Xiaotianqingfang City is ranked relatively high among many small cities. Lu Li smiled, it was obviously not the first time he had come, he was quite familiar with the situation here, so he refused the guide of the two Dao Tong, which also required a fee.

Generally, when cultivators enter a new Fang Market, they will pay the spar fee to the guide as a guide, and they will take them to visit and familiarize themselves with the scale and layout of the Fang Market and the situation of each shop, which will naturally allow the cultivator to save a lot of time and directly find what he needs. It is precisely because of this that these cultivators who lead the way are very popular in all the shops in the Fang City, after all, if they please these people, then these guides will naturally bring the cultivators who have just entered the Fang City to their shops.

But it's a pity that Lu Li is not the first time to come to Xiaotianqingfang City, so how can he not know these cats.

Seeing Lu Li talking about everything in this small Tianqingfang City, the two Taoist boys glanced at each other helplessly, and then left on their own.

"What are we going to do now?" asked Su Jue.

"Go to the auction house. Lu Li said simply, "Now we don't have much money on us, we have to go to the auction house to sell some things, and the auction in this small Tianqingfang City will start in a few days." ”

"What if we don't have what we want here?" Su Jue frowned slightly and said softly.

"Then let's go to Tianhuang Valley and leave after getting the blood of the dragon and snake, anyway, there are so many markets in this Tianyuan Continent, there will always be something we need. Lu Li smiled and said lightly, but his firm tone was moving, "It's just that we need a lot of spars and yang pills for this trip, so it's also necessary to sell some things here first." ”

"Have you been to a lot of markets?" Su Jue could hear the meaning of Lu Li's words, and asked with some surprise.

"Didn't I say that I had already been to the Medicine King Valley once before?" Lu Li glanced back at Su Jue and said with a smile, "In order to gather those materials, I have already traveled all over half of the Tianyuan Continent, and I have been to three of the four major fang cities. ...... If these small markets really don't have what we need by then, then we'll have to try our luck at the South Sea Mirage, Thousand Caves Tongtian Rock, and Dragon Flame Black Reef Square...... Dafang City has a greater advantage than these Xiaofang City, that is, the things they auction are very targeted and professional, if you want to find alchemy and other materials, the South Sea Mirage Pavilion is the most famous, and the Thousand Cave Tongtian Rock has the most refining materials. ”

"What about Dragon Burn Blackreef?"

"This is the largest black market in the monastic world. Dare to sell almost anything, and as long as you have the money, you can even entrust them to help you get what you want. ...... But unless you really can't find what we're looking for anywhere else, I wouldn't recommend heading to Blackreef in Dragon Burn. ”

"Why?"

"Because this market has always had the saying of 'going to the door and getting a knife'. Lu Li looked helpless, "The things they auction are not only more expensive than other markets, but the fees they have to charge for entrusting them to auction are also higher than those of other markets." The most important thing is that the entry talisman of other Dafang cities is ten high-grade spars, but they are a pure yang pill, and if you entrust them to help you find materials, you also need to pay seventy percent of the fee in advance. ”

The lowest value of a pure Yang Pill is equivalent to twenty high-grade spars. However, it is easy to exchange pure yang pills for high-grade spars, and it is not easy to exchange high-grade spars for pure yang pills, but the big black market of Dragon Flame Black Reef Fang provides this kind of service, and the exchange value is thirty high-grade spirit stones in exchange for one pure yang pill.

Hearing Lu Li's words, Su Jue was dumbfounded: "So...... What if we pay and they can't find what we need?"

"Then your money will be thrown into the sea. Lu Li said lightly, "But for the sake of fame, they usually don't do this, it's just ...... They were once tasked with finding a material, but nothing came of it for a thousand years, and it wasn't until after the client's death that Dragon Burn Blackreef found it. So the risk is not low. ”

While the two were talking like this, they had already come to the auction house in Xiaotianqingfang City.
