Chapter 25: "Stone Mountain Square" and "Monster Vendors"
Last time, I talked about Zou Jun and my sister coming to "Waimenfang City", not only experienced delicious food, drink and fun, but also appreciated the fun of "voyeurism".
"Hmph, these two damn little ghosts, how dare you lure Uncle Ben to this kind of ghost place?" Long Hai swept it with his divine sense, and he found that something was wrong.
However, even if Long Hai knew that this was a "brothel", because of the sect's participation, it was not easy to show up in public, after all, Xianfan was different, so he had to give up.
Just as he pondered whether to continue to follow up, Li Mei and Zhou Jun, under the guidance of several "hyacinths", quickly left this "Fengyue Place" that mortals flocked to, and instead turned around and went to some of the stalls and shops that the monks liked to hang out the most, because there were many cultivation materials there.
"The two 'Immortal Masters' are not in a hurry, the little ones know that after a few 'flower streets' in front of them, not far from the stone mountain, there is an open-air square, full of all kinds of 'treasures', specially prepared to meet the needs of the 'Immortal Master', hehe." A few "hyacinths" led the two little ones to the road with ease.
"Oh? All kinds of babes? What kind of treasure is it? Li Mei and Zhou Jun looked at each other and smiled: "Come on, what else is there besides the baby?" ”
"Uh...... Immortal Master, don't worry. There...... In addition to the baby, of course, it's still a baby, but it's just replaced by bottles and cans from tree roots and stones, hehe. Several "hyacinths" complemented each other, after all, the world of "cultivators" was not something that ordinary "mortals" could understand.
The so-called "three years do not open, open for three years". The ancestors of these "hyacinths" have also been doing this for generations, so they know that they must not offend the "cultivators", after all, the other party can not only bring glory and wealth to themselves, but also bring disaster, the key is to be able to handle it properly.
This is why they do not hesitate to cheekily take them to enjoy the "one-stop service of eating, drinking, and playing" in order to satisfy each other's childlike nature.
Sure enough, the child is good at fooling, so that after his long knowledge, it will be more helpful to set close, the key is that these two little guys are willing to spend money, and the spirit stones are not distressed, at a glance, you can see that it is a person with a great background, after all, "loose cultivation" is too picky, and only gold and silver are used to pay.
Driven by huge profits, these "hyacinths" were full of energy, and they barely kept up with each other's pace by trotting all the way, and after passing through several "flowery" "fireworks willow alleys", they finally saw the so-called "Stone Mountain Square" in an open place that had been lost for a long time and was familiar.
It is said to be a "square", but in fact it is just a large "stall" spread out around a stone mountain more than 100 zhang high. However, this stall is crisscrossed and divided into many areas, which are used to sell various spiritual materials, elixirs, spiritual pets, spiritual runes, talismans, magic weapons, and elixirs.
I saw that this huge square covering an area of more than 100 acres was full of traffic, bustling, full of people, and all kinds of bargaining were endless, but the discerning people knew that the things sold here were mostly "big road goods", and the fish eyes were mixed, and it was difficult to distinguish between the true and the false, so they relied on their own eyesight.
"Huh? Who are those? How does it look weird? Li Mei and Zhou Jun saw that among the vendors who set up stalls, in addition to the vendors dressed as "normal human" stall owners, there were also beast-headed human bodies, human-headed animal bodies, fish-headed human bodies, bird-headed human bodies, and those with flowers and trees on their heads.
"Hehe/hehe/haha/quack/giggle/hehe......" The two immortal masters didn't know that those weird-looking guys were actually not humans, but 'demon traders' from outside the territory, which is what mortals often call 'monsters'. However, they are not here to eat people, but to buy and sell. ”
"Oh? Youkai also know how to do business? It's weird! After hearing this, Zhou Jun and Li Mei couldn't help but be interested: "Where do those monsters come from, and what do they usually do?" Also, the 'monsters' seem to have relatively strong breaths, and the weakest ones have 'foundation-building' cultivation, what's going on? ”
"Uh...... If you go back to the two immortal masters, those monsters are mainly from 'overseas' and 'Mobei', and they are mainly here to sell some 'demon pills' and 'spiritual materials' on demon beasts, and of course occasionally sell some 'magic crystals', I heard that 'Mobei' once had a demon clan appear and caused a demon war. ”
"What? Demon Wars? Li Mei and Zhou Jun (Zichou) were taken aback after hearing this, after all, even mortals know about the "Demon War", and as a disciple of the sect, they don't even know it, this is too weird, could it be that this news has not been confirmed by the sect? Or is there something else going on?
However, the two of them later learned what the "Demon War" was, but the "Mobei Region" often had void turbulence due to its proximity to the Arctic Circle, resulting in the occasional overlap of several "parallel time and space" in this universe, and a small number of "monsters" from the "Ten Thousand Demon Realm" would inadvertently cross over.
Of course, these "monsters" can come across the border, and their cultivation and strength are definitely not low, but under the strangulation of spatial turbulence, there are not one in ten who can or descend to this realm, and many of them are seriously injured, and their strength is sharply reduced, and they are easy to be intercepted and killed by local "demon cultivator" forces, and take out the wreckage or magic crystal as a cultivation resource.
However, the "Demon Clan" has always only pursued the strength of the physical body and neglected the cultivation of the divine soul, which has led to the slow advancement of ordinary monsters, and they must rely on devouring a large number of spirit grasses, elixirs, spirit stones, and even "heaven and earth spiritual objects" to refine the qi and temper the physical body, so that the divine soul can grow and attract the Heavenly Tribulation to accelerate the advancement.
However, even so, the advancement speed of the monsters is still too slow compared to the advancement speed of ordinary human cultivators, and they are not even as good as the "Waste Spirit Root" or even the "Pseudo Spirit Root"! Therefore, in order to compete for the limited "cultivation resources", the monsters will also fight against each other among various ethnic groups and tribes.
Since there will be casualties if there is a battle to kill, and the corpses, demon pills, essence blood, souls, etc. of those who died in the battle have naturally become the "cultivation materials" for the victor's cultivation to advance, but the "monsters" are not good at alchemy, refining tools, and talismans, so they can't make full use of them, so they have to exchange them.
After all, there is no need to send sect disciples on a large scale to risk their lives to hunt monsters in the primordial expanse and boundless sea, so they can obtain a large number of cheap spiritual materials and elixirs, why not? That's why this happened.
As a result, under the leadership of all parties, the only "ladyboy sharing" bazaar in the "Liaodong region" opened here, and the demon traders also deliberately came out with some "fake news" to set off the atmosphere, after all, the "demon pill" is easy to obtain, and the "magic crystal" is rare. As a result, business here is extremely hot.
However, the forces of all parties in the "Liaodong region" did not want the demon traders to wantonly expand their influence here, so they built a lot of "specialty stores" for cultivation resources in accordance with the plan at the edge of the huge open-air square of more than 100 acres, mainly selling all kinds of pills, captives, magic weapons, etc.
Among them, whether it is "Changbai Sect", "True Immortal Temple", "Duoyanmen", "Black Dragon Zhenhai Sect", "Nuer Gancheng" or some "Xiuzhen families", they can rent a building around the square to hang their own "golden signboards" to sell their own treasures, and the "Four Seas Business Alliance" has done the best!
The so-called "Four Seas Business Alliance" is a super force active in the "Cultivation Realm" and "Magic Realm" in the East and West, and its members include "Cultivators", "Extraordinary Beings", "Mortal Warriors" and various "shamans". However, "non-human" people such as demons, demons, ghosts, monsters, spirits, and spirits must be excluded.
In contrast, the "Four Seas Business Alliance" disdains what the local "Xiuzhen forces" can do, and what they can't do, the "Four Seas Business Alliance" is happy to perform, such as the monthly "small auction" and the annual "large auction" of the "Liaodong region" will be held by it.
The reason why the "Four Seas Business Alliance" has established many "branches" in each of the different regions of the "Eastern Cultivation Realm" is to use various resources through "commercial means" to ensure its control over the current world and nip all threats in the "bud".
Therefore, some people speculate that there is not only more than one "refining period power" behind the "Four Seas Business Alliance", but even has a deep background in the "upper realm".
However, these "Cultivation Realm Postures" were redundant to Zhou Jun and Li Mei, because they were now only the lowest-level "Qi Refining Spirit Disciples" among the "low-level cultivators", and the purpose of this trip was also to broaden their horizons and increase their knowledge.
"Two Immortal Masters, the 'Stone Mountain Square' has arrived, please take care of yourself." The hyacinths added to each other: "The little ones are ordinary people, and they don't understand the 'things of the fairy family', so they don't mix blindly." After the two immortal masters walked around the entire square, they were still not satisfied, but they could come here again and call me to continue running errands. ”
"Well, that's it! A deposit of spirit stones per person, stay and don't leave! I'll come back to you when we're done shopping, giggles. ”
"Ouch hey! Master Immortal is so polite, what a good person! The hyacinths kowtowed: "Good people have good rewards, and good people have a safe life!" ”
In the face of the flattery of these ordinary people, Li Mei and Zhou Jun didn't think so, and they didn't ask them to get up and talk, so they walked away with a smile and a smile, aiming directly at the huge square a hundred zhang away in front of them, and quickly came to the stalls of those "monster traders".
"Huh? Horns? Beak? Bird claws? Shark fin? Scales? Pearl? Coral...... Boy! Just when these two little guys were deeply attracted by the strange things in front of them, they found that there was an endless stream of "human monks" who came to "Taobao" like themselves, and they were bargaining with the "monster traders".
"Sell shark fins, good shark fins, a pair of ten spirits, you can use secret arts to refine into 'flying magic weapons', after this village, there will be no such shop!"
"Sell coral, the best 'dragon blood coral', you can use alchemy, refining tools, purify blood, one hundred spirit stones per plant, if you want to buy it, please hurry up!"
"Sell the Demon Pill, the best Seabird Demon Pill, can be used to assist in the cultivation of wind and water two series spells, each only sells for a thousand spirit stones, no bargaining!"
"Shopkeeper, your 'Seabird Demon Pill' is too expensive, can it be cheaper? If the price is reasonable, you must ask for it all! Someone asked.
"Gollum, it's not expensive, it's just a thousand spirit stones!" The stall owner with the fish-headed body stared at a pair of huge dead fish eyes, and he didn't turn around.
"Five hundred spirit stones are sold or not?" The bargain was a big man with a golden hoop on his head, his eyes blazing, and his face full of flesh and sneer.
"Gollum, don't sell it, don't sell it, it's too cheap, it's not cost-effective!" The fish-headed monster puffed out his cheeks and responded, "Unless you take out the elixir in exchange!" ”
"Hmph, if you don't sell it, you won't sell it! Want to deceive Lao Tzu's ammunition? No way. The big man with the golden hoop turned around and walked like the other stalls.
