After listening to the words of Sun Changlong and Hu Jinsheng, Han Ze was silent for a long time.

In that ghost place in Longshan County, the temple is small and the demon is windy, and all kinds of strange things emerge in an endless stream, which makes him tired.

And the Fucheng side is the other extreme, where the dragons and tigers are entrenched, and all kinds of forces are intertwined, and if one is not careful, he may die without a place to be buried.

He repeatedly warned himself in his heart that he must keep a low profile!

Then they asked about the exercises and secret techniques, but because the time was too short, they didn't have time to inquire about it.

After eating, the group came to the mansion in the southwest of the city.

The topography of Wulin Mansion is not like the square of Longshan County, but a drop-shaped water from east to west, with the Grand Canal on the southwest side.

This is a place where ordinary rich people live, the scenery is beautiful, there are various places of interest, and there are many temples and Taoist temples are also nearby, and the dignitaries and nobles in the city will also come to go on an outing in their spare time, so the security here is very good.

The city defense guards composed of warriors from the Open Pulse Realm and the Flesh and Bone Realm patrol 24 hours a day.

A martial artist of this level is enough to suppress those Jiangyang thieves, as well as those martial arts people who come and go.

As for the martial artists above the Open Pulse Realm, this kind of person is a figure with a head and a face, and he generally disdains to do some petty theft, and if he really wants to commit a crime, it is not something that ordinary city guards can resist.

As for those lonely souls and wild ghosts, they naturally dare not wreak havoc on the world.

And the rent of the house here is naturally very expensive, and the rent of the big mansion he rents alone is as high as 60 taels a month, which is dozens of times that of Longshan County.

Therefore, it is not easy to live in the city!

After settling everyone down, Han Ze began to think about joining the sect.

Needless to say, the benefits of joining the sect are first of all to have a backer, and ordinary people don't dare to touch you easily, otherwise in a Longtan tiger's den like Fucheng, it won't be long before someone with a heart will be targeted.

The second is the exercises, secret techniques, these things are the things that the various major sects and organizations rely on to survive, ordinary people can't learn them at all, even if they spend money to buy them, they can only buy low-level exercises and secret techniques like "Fu Demon Qi Sutra" and "Iron Sand Palm".

Especially the internal strength, the cheats above the yellow level, are basically in the hands of major organizations and family sects.

Another point is that if you don't join a sect, you can only explore the cultivation method by yourself, and when you encounter a problem, there is no one to solve your doubts and doubts, so you can only work behind closed doors.

If one day you go crazy in practice, you don't know how to die.

Judging from what Hu Jinsheng learned, [Innocent Sea] is the most strict in accepting apprentices, while [Zhenyuanmen], [Baiyulou], and [Qingyangguan] are slightly better, but they also have hard requirements, the most important of which is age.

Basically, you need to be under the age of 18.

Anyway, it's okay to be idle, so he planned to go and have a look, but when he asked again, the four martial arts halls were all in the inner city.

Outsiders going to the inner city must change directions a week in advance, otherwise they are not allowed to enter.

No way, I can only wait.

Let Wang Fugui go to change the way, and Han Ze spent the next week, every day after cultivation, he walked around the outer city with a few fanatical believers with loaded guns and ammunition.

As for other fanatics, he specially invited a few martial artists to exercise at home every day to keep their muscles and bones burned.

Although they were not expected to become martial arts masters, after cultivating martial arts, their strength increased, and when they used assault rifles, they were more stable in pressing the gun, which undoubtedly greatly improved their combat effectiveness.

And martial arts training itself is also a thing that can cultivate loyalty and centripetal force!

The outer city is very huge, during which he flew into the sky with a drone to see a circle, it is worthy of being the largest prefecture in the southwest of Dacang, and the large commercial circle in the west of the city is estimated to have an area of dozens of square kilometers, with countless residences, restaurants, and shops.

He soon found the "long-distance station" in the east of the city, and met the legendary lion camel.

The lion's face is seven or eight points similar to that of a lion, and its size is very large, lying there like a civil airliner.

According to the staff inside, the lion llamander has a terrifying body length of 27 meters, and its wingspan after flying has reached an astonishing 30 meters.

In the long-distance station, there are "miniature houses".

From the staff, I learned that these miniature houses are specially for passengers to ride, and when they set off, the llamander will carry the miniature house on its back, and the passengers will sit in the miniature house, otherwise the high-altitude wind will not be able to stand the ordinary people.

Han Ze was thrilled when he heard this.

Then when I asked the price, I was immediately surprised, from Wulin Mansion to Dacang Guodu, the starting price was 1000 taels.

According to the purchasing power of the currency of this world, that is, 1 million!

Seeing Han Ze's "surprised" expression, the beast trainer said arrogantly: "Expensive naturally has a noble reason!" Not to mention the distance from Wulin Mansion to the imperial capital, it is difficult for ordinary people to surpass in this life, and it is also an extremely expensive expense to domesticate lions and camels. ”

"It needs to be fed all kinds of high-quality feed, and its appetite is huge, one meal can eat three months' rations of ordinary people, of course, it can eat once for ten days and half a month."

"In addition, during the flight, in order to resist the severe cold and wind at high altitude, you need to feed a large amount of Jingdan, which is also a lot of expenses."

When Han Ze heard this, he suddenly suddenly asked, "Then how often do you fly to the imperial capital?" ”

Beast Tamer: "Usually once a month, gather ten people to set off, after all, it is not cost-effective to have fewer people!" Of course, if there is a big customer package beast, you can also leave early. ”

"Bag Beast...... How much? Ten thousand taels? ”

"There are discounts for big customers, generally 9,000 taels is enough."

"That's right."

Han Ze nodded, and couldn't help but marvel in his heart.

9,000 taels is not a small amount even for him, and it is an unimaginable astronomical amount for ordinary people.

However, thinking of coming to Fucheng from Longxi, thousands of miles away, the road is full of dangers, and Fucheng to the imperial capital is extremely far away, such a long distance, I don't know how many difficulties and obstacles will be encountered during the period, riding the lion and camel beast, but you can save countless troubles.

Turning around to leave the long-distance post station, when he walked to the door, he turned his head and asked, "By the way, how much does it cost to go to Longshan County in Longxi?" ”

The beast trainer checked the atlas to know where Longshan County was, and then said: "There is no post station in Longshan County, so you can only go to Qixia County next door." 300 taels for a single person and 2,800 taels for a beast. ”

"Got it."

……

While practicing martial arts, cultivating fanatics, and learning about Fucheng, Han Ze is constantly moving in the form of ants every day, bringing gold, tea, and newly discovered spices back to the real world.

Speaking of spices, he had just recently discovered a treasure shop, which sold all kinds of top-quality spices, just like the Xueluo tea and ethereal tea he had drunk before, which made people really feel like they were there.

For example, "Wonderful Dance and Qing Song", "Feng Xiao Luan Guan", "Alpine Flowing Water", "Jin Ge Iron Horse", "Yangchun White Snow", "Lin Lai Spring Rhyme" and so on.

He handled the gold himself, and the tea was handed over to Tao Dawei to operate, and as for the spices, he didn't think of anyone to develop and sell them for the time being, because it was really too expensive, and ordinary people couldn't afford it.

The price of spices was more expensive than the equivalent of gold, so he didn't hoard much, and bought a few kilograms in total.

People eat horses and chew, coupled with his own daily spending like water, the 20,000 taels of silver tickets that previously sold pocket watches in Longshan County have decreased at a rate visible to the naked eye.

Han Ze used to bring some miscellaneous things from the real world, and then he simply brought all the silver ingots, but it was also a drop in the bucket, because he could only carry 5 kilograms each time, that is, 100 taels, but it was only one-third of the bottles of low-grade Jingdan.

So I have to find other ways to make money.

In fact, there are many ways to make money in another world, and many things in the real world can make a fortune in the other world, such as pearls.

He was surprised to find in another jewelry store that pearls in this world are very expensive and in great demand, from palace ladies to commoner women and children, they all like to use pearl products, in addition to wearing, they will also be used to brew tea, or to apply to the skin, and to make various other products.

The price of all products that use pearls has also risen.

Let's put it this way, a bowl of tofu flowers for a penny, plus a pinch of pearl powder, can be sold for 100 yuan.

And as we all know, the price of pearls in the real world is very cheap, and they are all weighed by the pound......

But the problem now is that he has just arrived and has no backers in Fucheng, and those money-making transactions are all intertwined forces behind them, and he doesn't dare to meddle in those money-making transactions at will.

Otherwise, you might wake up at the bottom of the Grand Canal.

So after thinking about it, I can only continue to cooperate with Haolanxuan.

It's just that I was in a hurry last time, and I forgot to ask them for their contact information in Fucheng, so I didn't know where to look for them for a while?

……

A week flies.

Early in the morning of the eighth day, Han Ze took the road guide and rode into the inner city in a carriage.

The inspection of the inner city is very strict, everyone needs to check the location of the household registration and the road guide in detail, and they are also asked what they are doing in the inner city, and some people who look obscene will be pulled aside for interrogation alone.

Han Ze naturally entered the inner city smoothly.

As far as the eye can see, there is a world of difference from the outer city, first of all, the buildings are more magnificent, the road is wider, six carriages can be driven side by side in both directions, and the blue-striped stone laid on the ground is spotless, and it is polished to a shiny tile, shimmering in the morning sun.

The shops on both sides of the street also look more high-end and atmospheric, and at a glance you know that they are all for the rich, and those who have no money will have a sense of inferiority just by seeing the glamorous shops.

It can also be seen from the dress of the people who enter and exit the store, it is obvious that they are more decent and generous than the people in the outer city, and even the appearance of the women on the road is a notch higher than that of the outer city.

However, I have to say that in order to become the largest state capital in the southwest of Dacang, there are indeed many rich people in Wulin Mansion, and with such strict restrictions, the streets are still full of traffic and streams.

The coachman pulled Han Ze to the nearest martial arts hall first-[White Jade Building]

As expected, there was a long queue at the door early in the morning, each holding a number plate in his hand, waiting to be called in.

The youngest of these people in the queue was only five or six years old, and the oldest was seventeen or eighteen years old, and there were no young or middle-aged people like him.

In the past, it was really good, and it was not accepted if I was over 18 years old......

Han Ze stepped forward and tried to ask, "Hello, I'm already in the middle of the epidermal realm, can I relax the age limit a little?" ”

A young man in his twenties glanced at him and asked expressionlessly, "How old are you this year?" Don't lie, we have a way to determine your bone age. ”

Han Ze was helpless, so he had to tell the truth: "That...... Twenty-nine years old. ”

"What? 29？ When the young man heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned.

Several disciples of the White Jade Building around the young man laughed out loud.

"At the age of 29, you only practiced to the middle stage of the skin membrane realm, are you embarrassed to come to our Baiyu Building?"

"Let's go, let's go......"

Han Ze left with an embarrassed face amid the laughter of everyone.

After waiting for the carriage, the embarrassment on his face was swept away, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"If people in the real world know that Master Han, who fights ten times and claims to have practiced boxing to the point of perfection and success, is mercilessly ridiculed for his low martial arts, I don't know what his expression will be?"

The more he thought about it, the more funny it became, and he laughed out loud instead.

After leaving the White Jade Tower, he came to another martial arts hall [Zhenyuan Gate], which was not far away.

Like Bai Yulou, there was also a long queue at the entrance of Zhenyuan Gate early, and countless children and young people were waiting with antiquation.

Han Ze also went up to ask, but unexpectedly he was ridiculed fiercely, asking him to hurry up and roll as far as he wanted.

After that, it's the [Qingyang View].

Qingyang Guan thought it was a Taoist temple when he heard the name, but in fact it was not, it was a sect named after a place.

Qingyang Temple is the name of an island along the southeast coast of Dacang Kingdom, where clouds cover the fog all year round, and only at certain times will a strange celestial phenomenon appear - "Qingyang Shining Moon".

It is said that this celestial phenomenon can help high-level martial artists to achieve enlightenment, so many martial artists from the Central Plains have gone there.

And these warriors in the Central Plains, in order to protect their own interests, established the [Qingyang Temple].

The number of applicants at the gate of Qingyang View is much smaller than the previous two, and from this point of view, the market popularity is not as high as the first two.

Probably for this reason, there is no special age limit.

But even so, when he heard that Han Ze was 29 years old, the person in charge of registering personal information at the door showed a strange expression on his face.

After registering, the person in charge of Bazihu took out a list and handed it over: "Here are the tuition fees and other miscellaneous fees that need to be paid, if there is no problem, come over with the money at eight o'clock in the morning the day after tomorrow to officially register." ”

"Uh, okay!"

Han Ze left the team with the list, turned around and picked it up and looked at it.

Tuition fees plus food, tutoring, textbooks, clothing, etc., miscellaneous and miscellaneous, a total of 500 taels of tuition is required for a year.

Han Ze was a little surprised, 500 taels is not a small amount.

But then it's normal to think about it.

This tuition fee is indeed an unimaginable astronomical amount for ordinary people, but it is nothing for the rich people in Fucheng.

Think about it, those rich children in the real world, who go to aristocratic private schools, are far more than 500,000 yuan a year in tuition.

In particular, those who were co-founded with famous foreign universities and went directly to famous foreign universities after graduating from junior high school and high school, even if they have money, they can not get in if they want to, and they have to go through the qualification examination.

It's all here, Han Ze simply went to the [Innocent Sea] again

On another street, this street is relatively quiet, with few pedestrians, and the shops along the street are selling pen, ink, paper, inkstone, antique calligraphy and paintings, and some sectarian supplies.

There are many sects in this world, and there are all kinds of sects, and the government doesn't care much about it, mainly because it can't control it.

Han Ze came all the way to the gate of the Innocent Sea, only to find that the gate was closed and did not open at all.

But there are still people waiting in line at the gate, and there are still a lot of people.

Han Ze walked over to ask about the specific situation, but those people were all silent, with a wary look on their faces, obviously afraid that he would rob them of their "opportunity".

Including the people on the road, he just walked over, and the other party also waved his hand again and again.

He turned and walked towards an antique shop not far away.

Han Ze casually asked for an ordinary landscape painting, 50 taels of silver, and then asked the boss: "Boss, I want you one thing, when will the Innocent Sea open?" ”

The boss in his fifties, with a two-handed mustache and a profiteer's appearance, obviously often meets guests like Han Ze.

However, seeing Han Ze on the road like this, he said very happily: "It's usually nine o'clock in the morning, and if there is something in the museum, it may not be until noon." ”

Han Ze asked again, "Then do they have a specific standard for accepting apprentices?" ”

The profiteer boss smiled and didn't answer, but pointed to a landscape painting on the wall with a price tag of 100 taels of silver and said, "This guest officer, I think this painting is very good, what do you think?" ”

"Old thing, what a chicken thief!" Han Ze scolded secretly, he was too much for 2 taels of silver for the broken painting, and said with a smile on his face: "It's really good, please ask the boss to help me wrap it." ”

As he spoke, he took out 100 taels of silver tickets from his arms and put them on the counter.

Anyway, as long as he can find a strong backer, making money is easier than breathing for him.

The profiteer boss picked up the silver ticket and looked at it, and after finding that there was no problem, he smiled from ear to ear, wrapped up the landscape painting, and didn't even give him a painting box. ”

"If you are in a good mood, you will accept it, and if you are in a bad mood, you will not have a chance."

Han Ze: "...... Is it really that simple? ”

The profiteer boss smiled and said, "That's right! Anyway, after entering the martial arts hall, you need to be enlightened, if you have martial arts talent, they will naturally accept you as a formal disciple without you talking more, and all tuition and miscellaneous fees will be waived; If you don't have martial arts talent, even if they want to keep you, you won't stay long, after all, the tuition fee of an ordinary apprentice is expensive, and you can't become a formal disciple, and you have to pay for all expenses. ”

When Han Ze heard this, he suddenly realized that this was indeed the truth.

The reason why some students from ordinary families sign up for these martial arts halls is actually because they hope that they can have martial arts talents, so that they can be exempted from tuition and miscellaneous fees.

He then asked, "Then may I ask the boss, do ordinary disciples and regular disciples learn the same things?" Is it possible to learn advanced internal skills and secret techniques? ”

The profiteer boss looked at him and laughed: "You don't look stupid, how can you ask such a stupid question?" What do you think? ”

"Huh...... I don't think it's possible! ”

Han Zegan laughed twice, and then asked, "Boss, which of the four martial arts halls do you think is the most worth learning from, namely Zhenyuanmen, Baiyulou, Qingyangguan, and Wujihai?" ”

The boss of the profiteer smiled a little less, and said: "In principle, this painting can only answer two questions, but for the sake of your sincerity, I will give you one more question." ”

"If you can't become a formal disciple, there is no difference between these four families, if you are sure to become an official disciple, then there is no doubt that it will be the Innocent Sea."

"Why? Is it because the Innocent Sea's martial arts are the most powerful? ”

"Of course not! Whether martial arts are powerful or not depends on personal talent and hard work, but there is a place in the Innocent Sea that is beyond the reach of several others. ”

"Oh, where?"

The profiteer boss picked up a rotten stone sculpture and said: "This is the masterpiece of a certain stone carving master, does the guest officer like it?" ”

Han Ze was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile: "I like it." Wrap it up for me! ”

The boss of the profiteer suddenly smiled from ear to ear, "Promise 100 taels." ”

PS: There is still one chapter that has not yet been revised. Wait for noon.
