Chapter 154: An Unexpected Gain

Therefore, this trade area attracted all kinds of scattered cultivators from all over the world who had no influence background to come and trade; Moreover, in the market, there are often all kinds of strange treasures that are excavated by destined people, and even many of them are rare and rare once they appear, they have attracted the attention of all major forces; According to rumors, there was a high-grade treasure in the market that was no less than the cold jade bracelet in the hands of Tianjihong, which was excavated.

It's just that this time Tianjihong didn't plan to stay in the outer Fang City area for too long, first, he had a clear goal for his trip, not to come here to Taobao, and with his current knowledge, the probability of wanting to take advantage of this land is obviously very small; Second, as Jihong himself has already gotten acquainted with Wang Qing today and holds the Chamber of Commerce token given by Tong Bo, if he wants to trade, he doesn't need to waste more time bargaining with these vendors outside.

Therefore, after entering the gate of Fang City and paying a silver coin as an entrance fee, Tianjihong did not stop at all, and walked directly towards the territory of the Tianqing Chamber of Commerce on the left. On the way here, Tianjihong has already inquired about the origin of this Tianqing Chamber of Commerce, you must know that although the Quartet Chamber of Commerce under this Tianbao Pavilion has set foot in all fields of inter-monk transactions, it still has its own main business and focus.

Just like the Tianqing Chamber of Commerce that Tianjihong needs to visit today, the main source of profits under it is the smuggling and sale of martial arts and cultivation methods spread by major sects or forces from all over the world. It stands to reason that such an act involving the secrecy of the various forces will definitely be hated by the latter, but the Tianqing Chamber of Commerce itself is a special case.

Compared with the other three major chambers of commerce, which can operate openly and openly, the Tianqing Chamber of Commerce pays more attention to the operation of the underground black market, and the Tianqing Chamber of Commerce, which seems to have no background support, is actually the backer behind it, which is the Tianbao Pavilion above the four major chambers of commerce. The existence of the former is similar to the dark side of Tianbao Pavilion, which is to put the goods that are inconvenient for Tianbao Pavilion to be traded on the table, and conduct a secondary auction in the form of flowing into the black market, and then obtain huge profits from it.

Therefore, don't look at the Tianqing Chamber of Commerce on the surface, the proportion of stalls in the market is at the bottom, but its annual income is the highest among the four major chambers of commerce. And in order to hide people's eyes, Tianbao Pavilion has actually set up sister forces like Tianqing Chamber of Commerce in various cities and towns to take over the black work, and sell the stolen goods for those things of unknown origin in their hands.

And this also means that the purchase channels of these commodities of unknown origin are to a large extent from important figures of different classes among the major forces, who often secretly violate the rules of the sect for their own interests, and privately take out some of the sect's peerless schools to trade for profits. And the sects of all parties do not want to take care of such things, but the more huge the sect power, the more troublesome the management under them, and their subordinates are not as cohesive as the ancient martial arts family, and the situation of private transactions like this cannot be managed at all.

Second, as a behemoth like the Tianbao Pavilion straddling the Eastern and Western Continents, there are not many forces in the Douwu Continent that are willing to offend easily. Therefore, under normal circumstances, without touching the core interests of the sect, the high-level officials in the sect have to maintain a blind attitude when they go out to sell the sect's recipes or materials like this. It is no wonder that Wang Qing was able to remain indifferent in the face of the Heaven Swallowing Fragment handed down by the Hexagonal Field, and with the former doorway and channels like the Tianqing Chamber of Commerce, it would not be too much trouble to get a fragment of the Xuan-level exercises.

The pavilion built by the Tianqing Chamber of Commerce here has a somewhat elegant and solemn posture, and from the appearance, it is impossible to see that its main body is operating, and it will be such a shady industry as the underground black market. When entering the gate of the Chamber of Commerce, after being stopped by the guards at the door, Tianjihong directly reported the name of "Drill Gopher" Wang Qing, and claimed to inquire about his safety.

In the strange eyes of the two guards, in the end, Tianjihong still learned about Wang Qing's condition from the two of them; Sure enough, when the barrier constructed by the ghost thousand shadows was swept away, the latter had successfully escaped from the battlefield and returned here before he and several light guards could find it.

At this time, Tianjihong only found out that Wang Qing, who seemed to be unattractive, was actually still in the position of an elder outside the Tianqing Chamber of Commerce. You must know that even if it is an external force, if you want to achieve the position of an elder according to your ideals, you must at least have the strength to dominate a corner or have a very high prestige; And with Wang Qing's weak cultivation like stealing chickens and dogs, he is obviously not satisfied with any of them.

The reason why the two guards would look at them with such strange eyes was precisely because of Wang Qing's special position in the Chamber of Commerce. According to the words of the two guards, most of his elders' positions were bought through unknown means, and even Wang Qing himself did not completely join the Tianqing Chamber of Commerce and become a member of it, so he had no right to meddle in the decision-making matters of the Chamber of Commerce on weekdays.

But in the final analysis, the identity of its elder is still unquestionable, and after a simple investigation, Tian Jihong still successfully entered the hall of the Chamber of Commerce and learned the location where Wang Qing lived. For the latter's previous behavior of abandoning everyone and getting out alone in the forest, Tian Jihong didn't have the slightest sense of awe, so he also pushed the door directly into the other party's retreat room without any scruples, but the scene in the room really startled him.

Before arriving at Wang Qing's residence, Tian Jihong also passed by all kinds of rooms, many of which were inhabited by big people who were in the position of elders like Wang Qing, and those rooms were all magnificent or full of spiritual power, and at a glance they knew that they were the places where a generation of masters practiced.

On the other hand, looking at the chaotic residence in front of him like a garbage heap, even Tian Jihong couldn't help but cover his nose and frown. It stands to reason that the room allocated by Wang Qing as an elder, even if the space may be a little smaller than that of an elder of the same level, it is at least ten times more than the thatched hut where Tian Jihong lives. But at the moment, the space as large as half a square is filled with all kinds of utensils and files.

Broken treasures, yellowed books, drawings with patterns, and a mass of moldy files piled up almost to the ceiling filled what was supposed to be a spacious, bright layout of the house almost to the middle of a crooked path for one person. The smell of decay and stale emanation emanated from both sides, which made Detian Jihong's head a little dizzy; Looking around a little, he could deduce that with Wang Qing's identity as an intelligence merchant, most of the information here was full of all kinds of information that had long expired, as well as a small amount of goods that had not yet had time to be traded.

After releasing his soul sense to the farthest distance he could reach, Tian Jihong still couldn't sense the presence of anyone nearby, so he had to slowly move forward sideways between the cracks in the crumbling dossier. The yellowed books and file boxes in front of him crossed in front of him, but Tian Jihong didn't have the slightest interest in such a history that he didn't know when, and just wanted to quickly pass through this area and find the location of Wang Qing.

However, at this moment, Tianjihong, who had always been thoughtful, suddenly focused his attention on the second stack of bookshelves not far in front of him. It's just that from Tianjihong's current perspective, he can't see the complete text on it, so the latter immediately stepped forward and pulled the file out of the piled up documents, and couldn't wait to start browsing the content of the text.

I saw that the parchment dossier was written in small words:

"After the Sword King and Sword, the two new stars that rose in the Northwest Continent in the martial world in 732, the two of them have unknown origins and teachers, no sects and no sects, and they only surpass their peers by their own cultivation and reach the threshold of the sage realm. The latter two traveled to various places on the continent, and the prestige of the two was spread in various places, including the second seal of the Lock Demon Tower, the opening of the secret realm of the Great Snow Mountain, and the pacification of civil strife in Zhonghai, during which the two of them could be seen participating. ”

"The two of them only show themselves the pseudonyms of the Sword King and the Queen of the Sword in the martial arts world, but according to the news from the ancient martial arts family who are friends with the two, the real names of the two are the Sword King Tianjilin and the Sword Queen Ye Xuan, and they are a pair of immortal couples in the martial arts world that everyone envies. In addition to the swordsmanship and sword technique that the two of them studied alone, it is rumored that when Tianji Lin and Ye Xuan joined forces, they also created a fusion martial art of sword integration, whose power can be called the best in the martial arts world, and no one can match it. ”

"In addition, although Tianjilin and Ye Xuan and his wife have not joined any of the forces, they have maintained good relations with many family sects, especially the [Snow Mountain Sect] of the Dongwu Continent and the [Divine Sword Sect] of the Western Martial Southern Region, and they have a very close relationship with them. And it is rumored that when the sword king Tianjilin participated in the civil turmoil in Zhonghai, he was rewarded by the Jiuqu Heavenly Palace for his repeated miraculous achievements, and the essence of his sword technique was pointed out by a master of the Jiuqu Heavenly Palace. ”

"It's a pity that the glory of the two only lasted less than four years, and when the Yu Sect wanted to dominate the continent and prepared to launch a war against the Dongwu Heavenly Immortal Martial Mansion, Tianji Lin and Ye Xuan had a firm opposition to this, and threw themselves into the cause of resisting the hegemony of the Shi Yu Sect, so they offended the first sect in the continent."

Later, in the winter of 736 in the martial arts world, the two of them stumbled into the trap of Shiyu Sect for a while, and were besieged by a group of masters led by the three elders of Shiyu Sect on the top of Shiyu Mountain, although the two successfully broke through and saved their lives in a battle, but since then the sword king has disappeared in the martial arts world, and it is rumored that the two of them alarmed the sect master of Shiyu Sect in that earth-shattering battle, so they suffered a devastating blow and injured the foundation of martial arts, and have since retired to the rivers and lakes; It is also said that the two have already recovered their strength, but they only went incognito to avoid Shi Yuzong's follow-up pursuit. It's just certain that the name of the Sword King and Queen of the Sword has never appeared in the martial arts world again. ”
