Chapter 10: Arriving in Shangjing, the ghost market picks up leaks
"Shangjing Base City, it's been a long time." Looking at the buildings that gradually became clear under the clouds, Lin Feng's eyes showed a look of remembrance, he had been in this place for a long time before, and this time, it could be regarded as a revisit.
"Lin Feng, you and I will go to the Danlou headquarters to report, submit the information, Dabi is about to start, there are still three days to go, you have to hurry up and familiarize yourself with the Danfang and medicinal materials, I will visit some old friends during your preparation, maybe they can help you in the future." When the plane landed, Ge Zhenhai took Lin Feng straight to the Danlou headquarters.
"This place, I'm back again, this time, I want to leave a lifelong memory for those who humiliated me." Looking at the Danlou headquarters, which is several times larger than the Danlou in Jiangnan, the memories of the past hit like a tide.
At that time, he had only recently come into contact with alchemy, and he was also brought by Ge Zhenhai, but at that time, the Danshi Dabi had ended, and Jiangnan Danlou had lost face in the Dabi, so Lin Feng, an alchemist from Jiangnan Danlou, was naturally looked down upon, and Lin Feng was even ruined in person.
But at that time, Lin Feng was powerless to resist at all, and could only watch his pill be destroyed, and the Dan furnace exploded, but he couldn't even find a person who presided over justice for himself, Ge Zhenhai wanted to help him, but he was also targeted because of this, and he lost his position as the elder of Danlou, because the person who humiliated Lin Feng was a person from the Jiang clan in Handong.
The Handong Jiang family, which is said to be a descendant of Shennong, has quite a lot of means in cultivating spiritual plants and alchemy, and is one of the few alchemist families in the entire Great Xia, and its influence is extremely huge, even if it is the headquarters of Danlou, it depends on the Handong Jiang family in many places.
After that incident, Lin Feng's mood was damaged, he collapsed, and he almost couldn't be an alchemist, if it weren't for Su Yunxi's companionship and enlightenment, maybe he would never try alchemy again in his life, let alone become an alchemy master.
"Handong Jiang, this time I will make you lose face in the field you are best at, so that you no longer have the capital to be proud of." Thinking of the unbearable time at that time, Lin Feng's fists clenched tightly, "Maybe it's because I have too many regrets, so I have never been able to take that last step at the peak of the Holy Realm, this is my chance to make up for my Dao heart, only by leaving no regrets, can I be clear in my heart and go further." ”
"Lin Feng? Let's go, don't be stunned, there will be a chance to see it in the future. Ge Zhenhai saw Lin Feng standing motionless as soon as he entered the hall, thinking that he was shocked by the magnificent momentum of the Danlou headquarters, and couldn't help but remind him.
"Oh, here we are." Lin Feng came back to his senses, followed Ge Zhenhai, and the two went straight to the second floor.
The second floor is the registration office of the Danshi Competition, many alchemists are gathered here, lined up in a long line, they have no recommendation quota, there are two ways to participate in the Danshi Competition, one is the recommendation of the elders of the Danlou in the base city, and the other is to queue up to register.
Alchemists recommended by the elders of each branch can directly fill in the information to sign up with the recommendation letter, and then wait for the competition, while it takes a long time to queue up for registration, and there will be a special person to review the information of the applicants, and only those who pass the information review are eligible to participate.
"What a young intermediate Dan master, this young man can't belong to the Jiang family, right?"
"The one next to him is Elder Ge Zhenhai of Jiangnan Danlou, the Jiang family is in Handong, the distance between Handong and Jiangnan is not close, how can the people of the Jiang family go to Jiangnan, and the Jiang family does not need the recommendation of other elders, they themselves have three recommendation qualifications."
Seeing Lin Feng follow Ge Zhenhai and go directly inside, the alchemists who lined up all started talking, after all, the blue badge on Lin Feng's chest and his immature face were very visually impactful.
"He is an intermediate alchemist at such a young age, how come he has never heard of such a genius alchemist in Jiangnan Base City before?"
"Maybe Jiang Nan is holding back and waiting for this Danshi competition, right? After all, Jiangnan Danlou has always been the bottom of the five Danlou before, and this time I may want to hold back a big move to win back a game, right? ”
Ge Zhenhai listened to the topic discussed by those people, his old face was hot for a while, Jiangnan Danlou has indeed always been at the bottom, he is the first elder, listening to others say this, even if he knows that it is the truth, he will inevitably feel ashamed.
"Elder Ge, don't care what they say, this time, I will sweep away all the opponents and help us Jiangnan Danlou Xue shame, if you can't do it, I will never open the furnace for alchemy in the future." Lin Feng naturally took in Ge Zhenhai's reaction, he leaned over quietly, and whispered in Ge Zhenhai's ear, although the voice was not loud, but it was full of confidence and firmness.
"Okay, good, I'm sure you can do it." Hearing Lin Feng's words, Ge Zhenhai first glanced at him in shock, and then nodded slightly, his eyes full of relief.
After handing in the registration information, Ge Zhenhai took Lin Feng to the residence prepared for them at the Danlou headquarters, "Lin Feng, before the competition, I want to tell you some precautions, you have to keep it in mind." ”
"You say." Lin Feng really didn't know about this Danshi Dabi, after all, he was not qualified to participate at that time, but he could have participated later, but he felt that it was not necessary.
"There will be a lot of people participating in the Danshi Competition, but there will only be one contestant in each of the five Danlous, because each Danlou usually recommends the best newcomer Danshi in the base city that he is responsible for, and this is the case for each Danshi Competition."
Danlou headquarters for the base city of Danlou are assessed, and one of the most important indicators of measurement, is the Dan division competition, the results of the competition will also affect the headquarters of the base city Danlou support efforts, Jiangnan Danlou is at the bottom every year, the situation is not as good as a year, continue like this, maybe one day Jiangnan Danlou will be banned.
"The second point is that there will be no high-level alchemists in the Danshi Competition, but that is from the badge point of view, there are many contestants who really have the strength of high-level alchemists in each competition, so they can't be taken lightly."
Danshi Dabi regulations do not allow senior alchemists and above to participate, but there are not a few people who hide their strength, after all, the rewards of the top three have always been rich, and there is also the opportunity to directly settle in the Danlou headquarters, which is what many alchemists dream of, so there is no shortage of masters who pretend to be pigs and eat tigers to participate in the competition.
"The third and most important point is that you must guard against other people during the game, someone may maliciously interfere, there is no restriction on the player's behavior in the rules of the game, as long as it is not a shot to hurt people, other forms of malicious interference are not considered violations."
Ge Zhenhai said, took out a jade pendant from his arms and handed it to Lin Feng, "This jade pendant can help the wearer condense spiritual power, you can carry it with you, it can improve the success rate of your alchemy, and at the same time, it can also resist some external interference." ”
"Condensing Jade?" Seeing the jade pendant that Ge Zhenhai handed him, Lin Feng's eyes froze, this thing is a rare object, not only can it assist the wearer in alchemy, but also speed up the cultivation speed, and even have the opportunity to make the wearer enter an extremely rare state of epiphany.
"Speaking of which, I can have my current achievements, and I also rely on this jade pendant, if you can help us Jiangnan Danlou a shame this time, this jade pendant, the old man will give it to you." Seeing Lin Feng playing with the jade pendant, Ge Zhenhai had a look of pain on his face, this thing was his heirloom, and he was really reluctant to give it away like this.
"Elder Ge, I accept your kindness, don't worry, I will definitely get a beautiful result for Jiangnan Danlou this time." Lin Feng naturally saw that Ge Zhenhai was reluctant, and directly turned over his hand to put away the jade pendant, this thing was also of great use to him, since Ge Zhenhai took it out, he naturally wouldn't push it back.
"Alas, okay, I'm leaving, you have a good rest, you have worked hard all the way, you can find the service staff of the headquarters if you need anything, don't run around, it's very big in Beijing, beware of getting lost." Seeing Lin Feng put away the jade pendant so quickly, Ge Zhenhai shook his head with a smile, gave an instruction, and then turned around and left.
"I won't get lost in Shangjing, I'm more familiar with this place than Jiangnan Base City, so let's give myself the whole suitable Dan furnace first." Sent away Ge Zhenhai, Lin Feng did not rest, but wanted to go out for a walk, the quality of the Dan furnace prepared by the Dan Master is average, if someone deliberately makes a ghost, it is easy to blow up the furnace, so Lin Feng plans to go to Shangjing Ghost Market to pick up leaks and see if he can find a suitable Dan furnace.
Shangjing ghost market, is a place dedicated to trading, here, as long as the price is right, you can buy anything you want or information, but opportunities and risks coexist, many things sold here, can not guarantee the authenticity of the fake, some people can pick up leaks at a low price, and some people buy lessons at a high price, and the antique industry before the end of the world is somewhat similar.
"Huh! Let's take a look, fresh East China Sea Jiaozhu, a great tonic herb for longevity!"
"Red Blood Grass, the new Red Blood Grass, don't miss it when you pass by!"
"Take a look at the weapon armor, the product of the ancient-level relics, the absolute divine weapon treasure armor, is sold cheaply!"
"It's still so lively." Lin Feng walked on the streets of the ghost market, listened to the shouts on the streets, looked at the bustling crowd, and suddenly seemed to see the bazaar of the old era, this feeling of being full of life was very good, he liked it very much.
There are a lot of people who set up stalls on the streets, most of them are buying and selling various materials, and there are also those who shout to sell the best Gong Fa Dan Fang, but you don't need to look at it to know that what the best Gong Fa Dan Fang must be fake, that kind of thing can be met but not sought, and if you get it, it is a permanent cash cow, who would be stupid to take it out and sell it?
"Although there are many fakes, there are still people who don't know the goods and sell the real thing as a fake." After Lin Feng walked around the ghost market, his eyes were on a stall.
The stall owner was a fat man, wearing a quaint-looking vest with intricate patterns on the vest, which looked like an antique, and in addition, the fat man wore delicate Buddhist beads around his neck and wrists.
"This little brother, look at things? Then you can be regarded as coming, my Zhao Dahai's stall is absolutely a child's undeceitful, a top baby, good quality and low price, genuine, I Zhao Dahai do business, that is called an authentic! Seeing Lin Feng coming, Zhao Dahai, who was still lying on the recliner and shaking the folding fan leisurely, immediately got up and praised himself and the things in his stall.
"Oh, little brother has good eyesight, this thing is amazing, this is a fragment of a weapon brought out of an epic ruins, the value doesn't need to be said by buddy, you take a closer look."
"Hey, this object is even more incredible, according to our Lao Zhao's experience for many years, it should be a broken treasure map, if you can get it together, you can't get a peerless treasure."
Every time Lin Feng picked up something, Zhao Dahai would introduce it endlessly, and after introducing it in a circle, it seemed that his stall was full of treasures.
"This Zhao Dahai has started to cheat newcomers again, that young man looks like he just came, alas, bad luck, I met Zhao Dahai, an old fritter."
"Who's to say it isn't? However, it is also good to have a long memory with Zhao Dahai, so as not to suffer a big loss in the future. ”
"A few of our mouths can't catch up with Zhao Dahai, his mouth can be said to be alive, and the dead can be said to be alive."
The stall owners of a few stalls next to him whispered, obviously knowing Zhao Dahai's style very well, this Zhao Dahai pit newcomer is not once or twice, but the rules of the ghost market are like this, as long as one hand pays the money and the other hand delivers, then there is no room for regret.
"This fat man treats me like a raw melon egg, what weapon fragments, treasure maps, are all imitations and fakes, but this guy also has real things here." Lin Feng ignored Zhao Dahai, who was like a river, and looked at the things on his stall with his own care, and after some searching, he really found two good things.
"Boss, how do you sell this piece of soil and that piece of wood?" Lin Feng directly pointed to the thing he liked and asked Zhao Dahai.
"Hey, these two things are amazing, you can see this soil, dark red, blood-stained, it is said to be dragon blood, and it is very effective for cultivating spiritual plants, as for this piece of wood, it is even more powerful, ten thousand years of gloomy wood know, this thing is a small piece, I don't need to say more about the value, right?"
Zhao Dahai didn't know these two things at all, he only remembered that when he went to buy other things, the old man packed them and gave them to him, anyway, in his opinion, Lin Feng definitely didn't know him, just a meal of nonsense, anyway, they were all going to cheat his money.
"Let's just talk about the price, boss." Hearing Zhao Dahai's introduction to the two objects, Lin Feng almost couldn't help laughing, and directly interrupted Zhao Dahai, who wanted to continue to brag.
"Five thousand crystal sources of dragon blood soil, eight thousand crystal sources of ten thousand years of gloomy wood, if you sincerely want it, I will give you a preferential price, and you can take twelve thousand crystal sources." After Zhao Dahai pretended to ponder, he gave a price that he thought was very reasonable, and the surrounding stall owners all rolled their eyes when they heard his offer, this guy really dared to bid. If it weren't for the rules of the ghost market, some people would want to expose Zhao Dahai's scam.
"One thousand two, if you can do it, you will make a deal, if not, I will leave now, and I will not delay your business." Lin Feng looked at Zhao Dahai and quoted his price, which was only one-tenth of his quote, because Lin Feng concluded that he didn't know the origin of these two things.
"Isn't this too low? Brother, don't joke with me. When Zhao Dahai heard Lin Feng's offer, his heart trembled instantly, this is his lowest psychological price, but he still wants to fight for it again, after all, he can earn a little more.
"This young man is an expert, come up and directly press the price to the actual price, it seems that Zhao Dahai's order will be opened at most." The boss who was paying attention to Zhao Dahai's stall around didn't expect Lin Feng's bid to be so accurate.
"One thousand five, the final price, if it can work, it will be dealed, if it can't I will leave." Lin Feng got up, dropped a sentence, saw that Zhao Dahai was still hesitating, and turned around to leave.
"Hey, little brother, wait, one thousand five is one thousand five, just open it." Zhao Dahai deliberately showed a painful look, in fact, his heart had already blossomed, he received these two things from five hundred crystal sources, and now he can earn a thousand or two.
"I really didn't expect that something that millions of crystal sources might not be able to buy, now one thousand and five can be done." Zhao Dahai was happy, Lin Feng was even happier than him, he could be sure that these two things were definitely treasures, and they were heavy treasures.
That soil, not soiled with dragon blood, but burial soil, the worst is also from the legend-level relics of the treasure, the tomb soil of the peerless powerhouse, although it is the grave soil, but because of the absorption of the divinity of the peerless powerhouse, and has a strong power, can be used to refine some divine weapons or tools, is an excellent refining material.
And that piece of wood is also an ethereal wood that can only appear in legendary-level ruins, the best source force transmission material of Blue Star, and it is also known as the existence of a cultivation accelerator, with the ethereal wood on the body, the efficiency of cultivation can be increased by at least three percent, and if the runes that condense the source power are engraved, the efficiency will be even higher.
"Little brother, go slowly, come back next time! Get you back the discount! Lin Feng left with two things satisfied, and Zhao Dahai, who thought he had taken advantage, said goodbye to Lin Feng warmly.
"It seems that Zhao Dahai has made a lot of money this time, otherwise he wouldn't be so happy." The surrounding stall owners are talking about it, they are not envious is fake, it is really not easy to meet a wronged boss this year.
"Grandpa, this is it! This stall! Just when Zhao Dahai was secretly happy because he had earned a thousand crystal yuan, a beautiful girl in a red leather coat and black leather pants pulled an old man in a Tang costume to Zhao Dahai's stall.
"Yo, old man, are you two here to buy something?" Zhao Dahai saw the exquisite Tang costume worn by the old man, and his face was suddenly full of smiles, the workmanship of the clothes was worth a lot of money at a glance, which was enough to prove the identity of the old man's fat sheep.
"Boss, what about the dirt and the piece of wood in your stall?" The girl ignored Zhao Dahai and rummaged through his stall, but she didn't find what she saw before, so she had to ask.
"Oh, those two things were just bought by that guy, what's wrong?" Zhao Dahai heard the woman's inquiry, and directly pointed to Lin Feng, who had just left, and said.
"Thank you!" The woman dropped a word, and then quickly chased after Lin Feng, "Sir, please wait!" ”
"This young lady, is there something wrong with you?" Lin Feng, who was about to continue picking up the leak, suddenly felt that he had been tapped on the shoulder, and when he turned around and saw the girl, his brows immediately furrowed.
"That's the kind of gentleman, I'm Qin Nianshuang of the Qin family, you have the things that our Qin family needs, I don't know if you can cut your love and transfer the soil and wood you just bought to me? The price is easy to say, 100,000 crystal sources, what do you think? ”
Qin Nianshuang's offer directly caused a sensation among the people around him, and Zhao Dahai, who was watching the excitement from the sidelines, was not calm, 100,000 crystal sources, those two things were actually worth 100,000 crystal sources, and in an instant, he only felt that his eyes were dark, and the world was spinning.
"I'm sorry, I don't sell these two things, I can use them myself." Lin Feng looked at Qin Nianshuang, his tone was flat, and he didn't have any emotional fluctuations at all because of her offer of 100,000 crystal sources.
"This little friend, how about the 500,000 crystal source, you can divide half of the soil and wood." The old man in Tang costume also spoke, and the price directly increased fivefold, and Zhao Dahai, who had just woken up, convulsed again after hearing the old man's offer and passed out.
"Qin Sihai, the head of the Qin family, I didn't expect to meet him in the ghost market, it's really an inexplicable fate." Lin Feng looked at the old man in Tang costume, and secretly thought in his heart that he knew this old man, there were many families in Shangjing Base City, but the Qin family was definitely the top existence among many families.
"Old man, it's not a matter of price, I really use these two things, so I'm sorry." Thinking of the importance of these two things, Lin Feng still rejected Qin Sihai's request.
"Grandpa, he just wants that thing and wants to sit on the ground and start the price!" Qin Nianshuang couldn't help but muttered in a low voice, and then was glared at by Qin Sihai and stopped making a sound.
"A million, you can just look at it and give me a little, how about it? It's a face for the old man. Qin Sihai didn't plan to give up easily. The price increase continues.
"This, okay, old man, you win, I can give you a part of the things, but Jingyuan is forgotten, just make friends with you, do you think it's okay?" Lin Feng finally relented, the favor of the head of the Qin family is still very sufficient, a little burial soil and ethereal wood, just give it, anyway, the amount in his hand is enough.
"Really?" The old man's eyes lit up, and he looked at Lin Feng with burning eyes.
"Seriously!" Lin Feng's tone was firm.
"Hahahaha, okay, your little friend is interesting, your friend, Qin has made it!"
