Chapter 360: No Time to Return
After finding that there was no money, the two of them could only ask the innkeeper for the location of the store specializing in collecting animal skins and bones, and then according to the shopkeeper's instructions, they came to a chamber of commerce called Pu Mouse in the east of the city.
The Holy Tang Dynasty has a vast area, of course, there are a lot of chambers of commerce inside, just in this Senzhou city, local, foreign, there are more than 20 chambers of commerce, this Pu Rat Chamber of Commerce is opened by a local wealthy family, mainly to purchase ghost beast-related materials, animal skins, beast souls, bones, Neidan, all the materials on the ghost beast, they will buy.
When the two came to the door of the Chamber of Commerce, there was a six-storey building in front of their eyes, the whole building was square, the faΓ§ade was countless sparkling glass mirrors, the light in the building looked hazy and warm through the mirror, and occasionally the wisps of streamer light flowed through the mirror, and the overall style was similar to the modern architecture in the human world.
Seeing the two of them coming to the door, a small servant greeted them with a smile: "What are the two guest officers here to buy?" β
Shi Chi Yan looked left and right and said, "I have a batch of ghost beast corpses here, how can you buy them?" β
Seeing that it was the first time for Shi Chi Yan to come, the little guy smiled and said: "This is the right place, we are specially buying the materials of the ghost beast, if you have a corpse here, then we will evaluate it according to the strength of the ghost beast before its death, and the integrity of the corpse, if it is a single material, calculate the price according to the texture of the material, please here." β
The little guy led the two into the lobby, and after coming to a secret room dedicated to trading on the left, he served them tea, and then after a while, a big man with muscular bumps walked in, and his tone was polite, and asked, "Are you two going to sell the corpses of ghosts and beasts?" Please also take it out and let you estimate it under the price. β
When Shi Chiyan heard this, he directly took out the corpses of several ghost beasts that he had killed before.
At that time, in order to save time, he directly used his killing force to kill these ghost beasts, so although their corpses were completely wiped out of their vitality, the beast pills, bones, and fur in their bodies were intact.
After carefully inspecting it, the big man looked at Shi Chi Yan with a shocked face, nodded and said, "The guest officer is a good method, the corpses of these ghost beasts are kept very intact, but are there any?" β
Shi Chiyan nodded and took out the remaining dozens of ghost beast corpses.
At that time, time was urgent, and he only had time to put these away, at that time it was just a trophy, but he didn't expect to respond to it now.
That big man is a mid-Hades king, although his strength is not high, but his eyesight is very outstanding, after examining all the corpses, he estimated in his heart: "The number given by the guest officer is quite a lot, I won't count it according to the specific rank, thirty-two Hades-level ghost beasts, twenty Saint Tang coins each, twelve Hades-level ghost beasts, one hundred Saint Tang coins each, okay?" β
Shi Chiyan didn't know the price of the Holy Tang Dynasty, anyway, at this stage, he just wanted to find a place to live as soon as possible, and the money from the sale of the corpses of these ghosts and beasts was enough for them to live in the city for more than thirty days, so he nodded immediately: "Yes." β
Dahan didn't expect Shi Chi to be so refreshing, and he was also stunned, and then laughed and said: "The guest officer is bold, I'll let people take the money, can you two buy something else from us?" Although we Pu Rat specialize in buying the corpses of ghost beasts, we also sell the elixir of the underworld. β
"Do you sell information?" Shi Chiyan hurriedly asked.
"Intelligence?" Dahan was stunned for a moment, nodded and said, "Yes, but the price of information depends on what information the guest officer wants." β
"Understood." Shi Chi Yan nodded.
After a while, the little guy who had just brought them over had already brought 1,840 Saint Tang coins, of course, in the storage ring, Shi Chi Yan took out the storage ring and collected the payment, and then under the leadership of the little guy, he returned to the lobby on the first floor.
Because Huang Chenyang didn't have weapons, he went to the area where weapons were sold by himself, and Shi Chiyan followed the little guy alone to the second floor.
The second floor was dedicated to selling intelligence, and as soon as Shi Chi Yan walked in, he saw countless ghosts in red cloaks floating around in the hall, sending jade slips to the square tables lined up in dozens of rows.
Shi Chi Yan looked at the ghosts, and followed the little servant to a square table, behind which stood a bearded man in a big red robe, who seemed to be a living person, not a genus of yin souls with a condensed soul.
Seeing Shi Chi Di, the bearded man smiled and said, "What kind of information does the guest officer want?" Or do you have specific requirements? β
Shi Chi Yan nodded and asked, "Do you have a way to go to the Xuanming River Valley as soon as possible?" β
"The Underworld Basin?" The man was stunned, and then smiled, "The Xuanming River Basin is very large, does the guest officer have an approximate location?" β
"Yama Mansion, the specific city is not particular, as long as you can get to Yama Mansion, it will be done." Shi Chi replied.
"Yama Mansion," the man smiled, "My Shengtang has an alliance with Yama Mansion, and it is convenient to go over on weekdays, our Chamber of Commerce has a teleportation array dedicated to Yama Mansion, but now that the Huangquan Beast Army is attacking, the Observation Envoy has ordered all parts of Weiyang Dao to close the teleportation array, and they are only allowed to come and not leave!" β
Shi Chi Jian frowned slightly, seeing that he had a heart, he sighed: "Is there any way to do that?" Price is not an issue. β
"The guest officer laughed," the man arched his hand and explained sincerely, "If it is a normal time, we are not unable to operate in private, but this time the matter is a bit special, it is an order issued by the observation envoy, and our Lord Senzhou Thorn Shi also personally summoned us to each family, and strictly ordered to open the teleportation array privately, once it is discovered, no matter the size of the background, it is a big crime to rob the family and kill the head." β
With his soul sense, Shi Chi Yan knew that the other party was telling the truth, but the more this was the case, the more ugly his face became.
It took a long time for him to suppress his sorrow and ask, "Is there any other way?" β
The man hesitated for a moment and said: "The best way is for the guest officer to leave Weiyang Dao directly, this time the Yellow Spring Valley is attacking only our Weiyang Dao, so as long as you leave here, you can find a larger state capital, and there will be a teleportation array leading to Yanluo Mansion." β
Senzhou is located in the southwest of the middle of Weiyang Road, but Shi Chi Yan has studied the map, if he wants to leave Weiyang Road, even if it is the closest straight line distance, he will have to fly for ten years just by relying on the sword wings, he doesn't know how long he has been in the River Styx, how can he have the heart to fly slowly for ten years.
Sighing, Shi Chi Yan frowned and said, "Then how long will the attack on Huangquan's side last in the past?" β
The man smiled when he heard this, and he didn't speak, but rubbed his two fingers lightly, Shi Chiyan's face darkened, and he said helplessly: "How much?" β
"Just now, the guest officer asked a total of three questions, plus the next one, a total of four," the man smiled kindly, "According to the rules of our Pu Rat Chamber of Commerce, the first three questions are relatively ordinary, and they are considered to be D, and the last one has to be counted as C, and one is considered ......."
Shi Chiyan rolled his eyes and said impatiently: "Let's quote directly." β
"Five hundred Saint Tang Coins." The red-robed man replied.
The corner of his eyes twitched, Shi Chi Yan silently took out five hundred Saint Tang coins and threw them over, the latter took them and didn't count them, but just snapped out a ball of light with his fingers, swept the pile of coins a few times, and then nodded with satisfaction, and said with a smile: "The Huangquan River Basin will attack us roughly once every five hundred years, and in the past five thousand years, the duration of ten attacks is average, about thirty-seven years. β
"Thirty-seven years?" Shi Chiyan breathed a little, gritted his teeth and said, "Got it." β
"Do you have any more questions?" The man asked, expectantly.
Shi Chi Yan shook his head with a dark face, turned his head and walked out, and the little guy who had just brought him hurriedly followed, and said with a smile: "The guest officer wants to leave Weiyang Road?" We have a special flying weapon here, and when we walk outside, a flying weapon is essential. β
Shi Chiyan didn't speak, walked to the first floor in silence, and happened to see Huang Chenyang scolding out of the weapons sales area.
Seeing Shi Chi Dying, Huang Chenyang walked over quickly, gritted his teeth and said, "Damn, the things here are also expensive, and a second-grade immortal weapon battle knife costs 120,000 Saint Tang coins." β
"Guest officer, what we sell is a conscience price," the little guy hurriedly shouted when he heard this, "You go to other chambers of commerce to take a look, a second-grade underworld weapon is not the top one, it is the most ordinary, problematic, it will cost thirteen or forty thousand, and what you said should be the Shadow Knife, right?" The price tag is 120,000, which is made of shadow iron and virtual blue gold! If it weren't for the fact that something went wrong during the forging, which caused the knife to be much heavier, I'm afraid it would have been sold for 180,000 yuan. β
Huang Chenyang pursed his lips and didn't speak, Shi Chiyan rubbed his brows and asked, "A second-grade artifact costs more than 100,000 yuan, so the flying artifact you just mentioned should be more expensive, right?" β
The little guy smiled and didn't speak, and Shi Chiyan also understood when he saw this, and waved his hand and said, "You mainly buy ghost beast bones here, right?" β
"Yes," the little guy nodded, and understood what he meant, took out a jade slip from his sleeve and handed it over, "This is a list of our main acquisitions, and the guest officer can refer to one or two." β
Shi Chiyan stretched out his hand to take it, but saw the little guy's eyes wandering around a few times, and then he asked helplessly, "How much?" β
The little guy smiled: "It's cheap, it's only two hundred Saint Tang coins." β
Shi Chi Yan threw away the two hundred Saint Tang coins, took the jade slip, and pulled Huang Chenyang out of the Chamber of Commerce quickly.
"What's wrong?" When he came to the street, Huang Chenyang frowned and said, "It seems that the question is not going well?" β
Shi Chiyan nodded, and roughly explained what he had learned, Huang Chenyang took a breath of cool air, and sighed: "If you just rely on flying, it will take ten years, and you may encounter the enemy halfway, and when the war is over, it will take more than thirty years, it seems that you won't be able to go to Yanluo Mansion in a short time, hey, you didn't ask if you can pass the news over?" β
Shi Chiyan shook his head slightly, looked left and right, and said, "Have you forgotten that I was hunted down and killed before?" Although the ghost world is very large, the law of imbalance between life and death must have spread all over the river basin, and the senior sisters must have also been noticed by the major forces, rashly let them pass on the news, and I am likely to expose my identity. β
"That's right!" Huang Chenyang nodded, frowned, and said, "What's the matter?" β
"No way, let's pick the shortest time, go out to hunt ghost beasts first, and save enough money to buy a flying artifact," Shi Chiyan frowned, "We can't really fly out of Weiyang Road by ourselves, it's more convenient to have a flying machine." β
"Yes," Huang Chenyang grinned, "But I'm at the Hades level, you won't let me do it, right?" β
Shi Chi Yan said helplessly: "I'll just go, but you have to enter my soul country, and your method of time is still quite helpful to me." β
"Okay!" Huang Chenyang smiled and left Senzhou with Shi Chiyan.
