Chapter Fifty-Eight: Qingxiu Town

Morun finally waited for a large ship to come to the land after a long absence. It is a seaside town surrounded by mountains on three sides, and according to the people on board, most of the town's residents are engaged in the cultivation of pearls, which are pure in color and round in shape, each the size of a thumb's fingernail. Therefore, there is an endless stream of people who come here to buy pearls, and because of this, the pearl industry has been formed in this town, and the pearl trade here is famous, no matter how far away from here, when it comes to pearls, the first thing that comes to mind is the town of Qingxiu ------------- here.

In recent years, the pearl business in Qingxiu Town has still been booming, and at the same time, there is an additional business to collect the tuna stinging fish Neidan. The Tuna Thorn Fish is a high-level magical beast, which can only be encountered in the deep sea area, this kind of fish is extremely fierce, and it is possible to compete with the strength in the late stage of refining. If the water is not good or you are not familiar with water warfare, it will also affect your own strength. Therefore, many people lost their lives when they fought the golden tuna stinging fish, but due to the high price of its inner dan, many people still enjoyed it.

Another thing that is surprising is that there are still people who collect seaweed, that is, it is cheaper, but everyone can collect it, and it is not life-threatening, and it grows in shallow waters.

Mo Lun first found an inn to live in Qingxiu Town, and he first asked how far Hairun City, the central city of the Seagod Clan, was from here, and how to get to Hairun City. After Mo Lun settled down in the inn, he walked out of the inn, he first had to take a look around to understand the situation of the Poseidon Clan, saying that this is the realm of the Poseidon Clan, it is true, but the life and habits are different from the Poseidon Clan, maybe this place is too far from the center of the Poseidon Clan.

Moren walked along the street with the flow of people, and he didn't have a clear destination, just to listen to the passers-by and learn about the situation. He followed the crowd to a commercial street, the street was full of hawkers, most of them were selling pearls, Mo Lun walked up to a pearl seller, grabbed a handful of pearls, and looked at it, "Guest, this is the first time you have come here, right?" asked a middle-aged man. Mo Lun looked at the middle-aged man, he had a kind face, and there was a smile on his face, "How do you know that this is the first time I've come here?" Mo Lun asked back. "I know you're a layman from the way you look at pearls, so I'm sure you're here for the first time. The honest middle-aged man said. "What should you think of that?" asked Morun. "You should see it like I do. As he spoke, he pinched a pearl with his two fingers and looked at the sun. "In this way, you can see the color of the pearl, see if it is uniform inside, and whether there are any flaws. ”

Mo Lun also followed his example, and took a pearl between his two fingers and looked at the sun, and when he had finished reading it, he held him in his hand, took another pearl, and looked at the sun. After reading it, he said to the honest middle-aged man, "The pearl in my right hand is better than the pearl in my left hand, do you see it right?" The one on the left hand has black impurities at the edges, which looks uneven inside, while the one on the right hand looks at the color and luster inside at a glance, without impurities, and it is all in one. ”

"How much is it, I'll have more. Moren asked, he wanted to buy a string for Narcissus to wear on his wrist. "Twenty spirit stones, how many do you have?" "I want how much it takes to string a string on my wrist?" Mo Lun didn't answer him and asked again, "Thirty-eight is enough, a total of seven hundred and sixty spirit stones, you just give me seven hundred and fifty spirit stones." The middle-aged man said. "Do you have a good skewer?" asked Mo Lun, "If the skewer is good, you need to add ten more spirit stones, but forget it, you should give me seven hundred and fifty spirit stones." The middle-aged man said.

When the middle-aged man was giving Mo Lun pearls, more than a dozen people came from the front, shouting as they walked, "What are they for?" Mo Lun asked, "They are from the Nine Shadows Chamber of Commerce, and they collect protection money here, and they have to give them fifty pearls a day, and sometimes they pay more than they sell." The middle-aged man shook his head as he strung pearls for Morun. When they got to where Moron was, the middle-aged man found fifty in his pocket and gave them to the men, and they shook their heads and walked over. "Can't you give it to them?" asked Morun. "If you don't give it, they will come to your stall twice in three days to make trouble, and sometimes they will deliberately knock over your stall, and then leave after the collision, and they can't beat them, there is no way to do it. The middle-aged man said helplessly. "Can't you join forces?" asked Moren again. "Join forces? Don't you know, the president of the Nine Shadows Chamber of Commerce, Jiu Youhe, is a powerhouse in the Transformation Stage, and most of his subordinates are masters in the late stage of refining the void, and there are a few people in Qingxiu Town who can compete with them. The middle-aged man said.

"In addition to the Nine Shadows Chamber of Commerce in Qingxiu Town, there are also those powerful people?" Mo Lun asked with some suspicion. "Don't look at Qingxiu Town, there is not much of it, but there are a lot of forces, like the Ten Thousand Passenger Boat Company, the Changxing Inn are all not small forces, the Shi Wannian of the Ten Thousand Passenger Boat Company, and the Fan Jiuzhou of the Changxing Inn are also strong men in the Transformation Period, and their relationship is not ordinary, although there is nothing on the surface, but some people see them secretly contacting. The middle-aged man whispered.

Mo Lun sat next to the middle-aged man and chatted with him while helping the middle-aged man string pearls. "Now the Changxing Inn is collecting the inner Dan of the tuna tiger thorn fish, and the 10,000 passenger ships are collecting seaweed, and there are as many as they want. The middle-aged man slipped out these two sentences as he spoke. Moren didn't pay much attention to what he said, and after a few more casual conversations with him, he got up and walked forward.

As night fell, when Mo Lun returned to the inn, he glanced at the plaque of the inn, "Changxing Inn". "I actually stayed at the Changxing Inn. Moren thought to himself. When he returned to his room, washed up, he sat cross-legged on the bed, and did not enter the state of practice, he was thinking back to what he had seen and heard today, and connecting them together to see if there was any noteworthy information.

In the dead of night, a sound of footsteps interrupted Morun's thoughts, and the footsteps came from far and near, and he walked past his door, and walked upstairs, where the footsteps of the three men could be heard. Morun lives on the second floor, while the third floor also has an attic, which is not open to the public, and the stairs are at the end of the hallway. Moren held his breath to hear what they were saying, but he couldn't hear anything because he was too far away. He didn't dare to go out, because he knew from the mouth of a middle-aged man that the boss here was also a powerhouse in the Transformation Period, and if he eavesdropped, he would definitely be discovered.

Mo Lun waited silently in the room, about an hour later, he heard the sound of the door opening upstairs, so he completely covered his cultivation, only the appearance of the early stage of refining, when the footsteps reached his door, Mo Lun opened the door, closed his eyes and walked out, "Where is the thatched house?" Mo Lun asked casually. A tall, thin middle-aged man pointed to the front with his hand, "Downstairs, in the backyard." Moren followed the three of them, pretending to be stunned, and remembered the faces of all three. These three people are all powerhouses in the Transformation Period, "Could it be the three people that the middle-aged man said?" Mo Lun thought with some doubt.

The next day, Mo Lun walked around the street for another day, looking east and west, and he figured out the location of the Nine Shadows Chamber of Commerce and the Ten Thousand Passenger Boat Company. After nightfall, Morun came to the Ten Thousand Passenger Boat Company, which was located on the dock by the sea, and a number of boats were connected together, and the ships were connected to each other by a gangplank, as if they were flat ground. Mo Lun dodged the patrol of the night and jumped into a big ship, this is a warehouse, there is seaweed everywhere, exuding a fishy smell of seawater, Mo Lun just wanted to leave, he heard two people talking inside, "Lao Li, the two of us are too unlucky, the seaweed that we just recovered has the biggest fishy smell, and it is our turn to be on duty." A hoarse voice said, "What's the solution, who made us both unhappy?" The one named Lao Li said. "What do you say we collect so much seaweed for, it's not very useful. The hoarse voice asked, puzzled. "It is said that it was jointly received with the Jiuyou Chamber of Commerce, and the Neidan received by the Changxing Inn was also received with the Jiuyou Chamber of Commerce. Lao Li said.

Mo Lun hid in the dark, heard the two people talking, and thought for a while according to the two people's thoughts, "Seaweed, Tuna Thornfish, Nedan and Pearls, what can they do together?" Mo Lun finally remembered that it was recorded in the Hundred Herbs Sutra of the Old Man Pointing to the Sword that these three substances together can be used to refine Bi Luodan, in fact, the effect of Bi Luo Dan is the same as that of the human race's Transformation Pill, and it has twice the effect on the cultivator's promotion to the Transformation Divine Stage, and it is said that its effect is stronger than that of the Transformation Divine Pill. "It turns out that the Nine Shadows Chamber of Commerce is collecting materials for refining Bi Luodan, but why is it blatantly collecting, and the three families have to collect it separately, not wanting others to know? "Could it be that the Tengu people are gathering resources?" said Morun with another bold idea.

Thinking of this, Mo Lun put his spiritual power on his fingers, and secretly walked behind the two people, his fingers moved forward, and a fierce sword qi passed through the back of one person's heart, and before he could understand what was going on, he was dying, and the other person just wanted to scream, Mo Lun's left hand pointed to his dumb hole, "If you are not honest, you will end up with him!" Mo Lun said threateningly. The man's face was covered with sweat, and he nodded hurriedly. Moren moved a chair and sat in front of him, "Answer my question honestly, you won't die, or he'll be your end." Moron gestured to the man on the ground. The dumb hole was pointed, and he couldn't speak, just nodded vigorously.

Mo Lun stretched out his hand to untie his dumb hole and asked, "Are you from the Seagod Clan?" The man nodded, as if he remembered something again, and immediately shook his head again, and said, "No, I am from the Tengu Clan. "What about Shi Wannian?" "He's also a member of the Tengu clan, and we are all members of the Tengu clan. ”
