Chapter 198: Finding out the news
Ye Xing stopped thinking about things that he couldn't figure out, and listened to everyone's chatter, and felt that he had benefited a lot.
Riding a horse, in order to hurry, everyone will let the horse eat some qi-replenishing elixir, and sometimes lose some true qi to the horse, so that it can always gallop at high speed.
Ten monks walked together on the prairie, not afraid of any wild beasts at all, and of course not afraid of other loose cultivation groups, after all, there were not many people who fought for an unknown amount of resources, and they were even more afraid of offending those who really had a background.
It lasted for twelve days to ride a horse and walk quickly, and finally arrived at Shanglin City, and came to Shanglin City, only to know what a big city is, it is too big, of course, it is also space, Shanglin City is known as a big city of millions of people, in fact, there is no wall, the house is far away from each other, and you need to ride a horse to the neighbor's house.
Shanglin City, in fact, is a huge grassland between the mountains, is the birthplace of the Great Yuan Empire, that is, the place of Longxing where the generations of the Great Yuan clan live, the emperor of the Great Yuan Empire is here, and the masters of the Great Yuan clan are practicing on the surrounding mountains, so to speak, this is the Longtan Tiger's Lair.
Of course, it is also certain that it is absolutely safe here, it is impossible for anyone to dare to make trouble here, no matter what level of master the other party is, it is impossible to come to Shanglin City to stir up the storm, and if you come to make trouble, you can only die, there is no second possibility.
The ten people who accompanied each other separated when they arrived at the mountain pass that entered Shanglin City, because they were sure to be safe.
Ye Xing's divine sense is powerful, but he doesn't dare to scan the outside world at all, nor does he dare to show too high cultivation, he is still dressed as a Tang businessman, and he rides around alone, but he has no way to start, so he has to find someone to ask.
In the end, at the price of 20 taels of silver a day, Ye Xing found a buyer to lead the way, and asked him to bring himself to purchase precious things in Shanglin City.
Shanglin City is too big, there are no locals to lead, there is really no way to find what you like, those merchants are all families, just a small piece of grassland, enclosed by a simple fence, there are many low buildings inside, and some are just large curtain bags.
Between merchants and merchants, they all have to ride horses, there is no house number, no name, no local leader, there is no way to trade at all, and you can't find the resources you want.
What Ye Xing wants is the best spirit stone, but the spirit stone mine is all in the hands of the royal family of Da Yuan, the sect forces of Da Yuan, ordinary spirit stones are still possible, and the best spirit stones are definitely beyond the reach of ordinary people, and most of what these families sell is just a variety of items looted by the Da Yuan army.
As a merchant of the Tang Dynasty, Ye Xing was full of all kinds of gold and silver jewelry, and he was extremely generous, all the things he liked were extremely high-end, and soon many burdens were bulging.
In fact, he didn't want these things, but just wanted to look like a rich man, so that he could easily enter some more high-end places.
The people of the Tang Dynasty and the Tianxing Kingdom are the same, and there is little difference, but the people of the Tang Dynasty are taller, and their speech and clothing are also different, and Ye Xing said that he was a nobleman of the Song Kingdom who fled to the Tang Dynasty, and now he is coming to Dayuan to do business.
Such an identity is very common, and it can explain the problem of Ye Xing's inaccurate accent, Ye Xing looks like a nouveau riche, his shots are all gold, and there are also silver tickets from Datang, all of which are passable currencies.
Ye Xing participated in many trade fairs in the courtyards of many manor-like families, and spent a lot of money to buy some unique elixir materials, as well as some rare metals, such as some special metals that have been roughened, Ye Xing knows the function, such as the hardness and strength of the materials required to make the array disk, and the materials that can make a large number of spirit crystals quickly deplete without damage, which is extremely precious in itself.
The Great Yuan Empire took people from other countries as slaves, and then exploited minerals, while the ordinary people of its own country were mostly herdsmen and merchants, especially the merchants, who were the most, and the herdsmen were only people from small tribes, and the Great Yuan people no longer participated in grazing.
The ban on slavery in the Celestial Star Country was the biggest impact on Dayuan, and many slaves escaped, especially in the Northeast Prairie near the Celestial Star Country, and basically the slaves ran out.
Now that the main army of the Great Yuan is marching further west, to capture more slaves and occupy more land, the last time it was defeated by the Celestial Star Kingdom did not affect the pace of its westward expansion.
Different from the domestic bargaining in Tianxing, everything here is auctioned, even a sheep is auctioned, the auction method is very simple, the seller says a reserve price, the following people offer, the highest price wins.
Ye Xing naturally didn't care about money, but he also found that many items were extremely expensive, silver tickets were only accepted by the Tang Empire, and the banknotes issued by the Tianxing Kingdom were not recognized.
Ye Xing also knew a lot of people, they were all wealthy businessmen of Datang and Dayuan, in Shanglin City, which is known as a big city of hundreds of miles, as long as you have money, you can buy everything, and of course you need money to make friends.
Of course, it's best if you have connections, there are some secret places, you can't find them without acquaintances, and you can't get in, especially those manors that sell cultivation items.
This kind of manor is run by the forces of the Great Yuan Sect, if you don't have relevant connections, you will definitely not be able to enter this kind of place, this is common sense, without the guidance of relevant people, you will not be able to enter this kind of occasion;
Any temporary visitor will be rejected, and others will not have the time and energy to investigate your identity, so the most direct thing is not to let you participate.
Ye Xing's divine sense is extremely powerful, and he has long found that there are many low-level cultivators in Shanglin City, unlike the hidden mountains of the Song Kingdom in the past, although the cultivators here do not show up in public, but many of them are hidden in the downtown area.
The reason is also simple, not everyone can stay in a deep mountain and old forest for a long time, and cultivation also requires resources and opportunities, and these resources are still extremely precious, so it is best to travel the world.
Now resources such as spirit stones are generally only available in the two superpowers of Datang and Dayuan, and the small countries have long been gone, and the Song Kingdom has not found any spirit ores, if there are, they have been mined for so many years.
Ye Xing revealed the cultivation of the eighth layer of qi refining, and then asked the buyer to take him everywhere to try his luck, and soon got to know a lot of low-level cultivators of Dayuan, and he heard more information.
Due to the perennial wars of the Great Yuan Empire and the inclusion of eclectic ones, there are also a large number of non-Great Yuan monks in the country, resulting in a very large number of Xiuzhen schools in the Great Yuan;
But generally speaking, they are all very small cultivation forces, of course the Great Yuan Clan will not allow the existence of the top cultivation masters who are not their own clan, ordinary monks, no matter how many times it is, it doesn't matter.
It is rumored that the Dayuan royal family is the super Xiuzhen family, the power is extremely terrifying, the countless minerals in the Dayuan country are basically controlled in its hands, and some less important minerals are distributed to those Xiuzhen families, of course, these families must send people from the family to join the Dayuan military and fight everywhere.
The Great Yuan Empire has been passing through the west for thousands of years, although it is interested in the Song State, but it is not strong, and because there are many forces to restrain it, first of all, the Tang Dynasty does not allow Xu Dayuan to occupy the Song State alone, in the minds of the Tang people, the Song State is his vassal, and the mouth is fat.
The Celestial Star Army completely ignored the constraints of any force, and directly annihilated 50,000 Dayuan cavalry, which made the Dayuan royal family extremely angry, but it was also beyond the reach of the whip, ten years ago, Dayuan fought a life-and-death battle with a large country in the west for many years, and it only ended recently.
Now that they have withdrawn from it, they want to join forces with the Tang Dynasty to send troops to the Celestial Star Kingdom to destroy the country, and the two countries have agreed to send monks, vowing to slaughter the monks of the Celestial Star Country as well.
It is said that the Tang Dynasty has preliminarily promised that it will send high-ranking monks to raid the Heavenly Star Kingdom, and if it fails militarily, it will be recaptured in other aspects.
Unlike the many sects in the Heavenly Star Country, although there are many sects in the Tang Dynasty, there are only three major sects in the big forces, and the others are all their branches or related forces, and the Holy Spirit Sect is one of the three factions.
The Dayuan monks are actually a faction, that is, the Dayuan clan of the royal family, of course, there are a huge number of small sects of cultivation, or other tribal masters or casual cultivators, but there are many people in the Dayuan monks, and they inherit the fierceness of the Dayuan people, and they are also famous for their ruthlessness in the cultivation world.
Ye Xing's current divine consciousness cultivation in the Jindan period, with a little attention, he heard countless information from the mouths of more Dayuan monks, that is to say, the Great Tang Dynasty and the Great Yuan sent cultivation masters to attack the Tianxing Kingdom It was a sure thing, and they failed militarily, and they wanted to get it back in other aspects.
Ye Xing analyzed the news he heard, and felt that there would not be much deviation, so he used the long-wave radio to transmit the news to the secret eyeliner of the "Nighthawk" under the Dayuan cloth, and then to the upper echelons of the Heavenly Star Kingdom, and at the same time informed Xuanyuezong to be careful.
