Chapter 431: The Secret Market (Today's Second Update)
"Nantianmen is a market. Yu Dongyan looked at Luo Bei and replied, "To be precise, it is the secret trading market of a cultivator closest to our place. ”
"It turned out to be one of the secret cities. Not far from here, there is actually a secret market?" Luo Bei's heart moved, "Do you want to go there to try your luck and see if there are any of these three elixirs?"
After Luobei got Tong Wei's help, he also gained a lot of knowledge.
Now Luobei already knows that almost all sects, even Kunlun, will trade with other sects in the world to obtain some things they want, or in other words, directly use the resources in their hands to control some sects.
A high-grade elixir may be able to save ordinary cultivators ten years of penance in absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. A magic weapon that can be used in hand may be able to raise the strength of ordinary cultivators to a higher level.
Exercises, magic weapons, elixirs, and even some refining tools and alchemy materials are all useful resources for cultivators' cultivation.
In addition to the middlemen, there are also markets in the world that are dedicated to the trading of monastics.
Tong said to Luo Bei that the number of such ordinary cultivators' trading markets was about thirty.
The several sects controlled by Zhanzhou Zedi have people stationed in several of the markets, constantly keeping an eye on some useful things.
The secret trading market is different from this ordinary trading market.
The so-called secret trading market not only refers to the secret location of the trading market, but also mainly refers to the people who enter the trading market, all of whom hide their identities.
Of course, if you put your name on your own, make everyone known, and swagger into this kind of market, no one will care about you.
Because this concealment of one's identity actually means that it is open to anyone, whether you are a demon clan, a demon cultivator, or a righteous Xuanmen, you can enter the transaction.
In this case, it is equivalent to all the people who enter are turning a blind eye and only not knowing the identity of the other party.
"Because everyone is hiding their identities, I don't know if he's a demon or a demon. So even if there is something to do afterwards, the people who trade in it can use this argument to shirk it.
Everyone knows that this statement and the existence of this kind of market are very unclear, but because the vast majority of sects actually want to have such an unfettered trading market, almost all righteous path Xuanmen also adopt an attitude of turning a blind eye to this kind of market and just not knowing.
And these secret markets will not go too far, will not be too arrogant, be careful not to make things clear, and not touch the bottom line of some righteous paths.
To put it bluntly, this kind of secret market is like some royal cities in the world, in fact, the government knows about it, but no one will ban it, because the government will take advantage of it, open in the middle of the night, everyone covers their faces to trade, and the black market ends at dawn.
There are not many secret markets in this kind of cultivation world, and no one who has traded in this kind of market will not come out with a big mouth and talk nonsense, Luo Bei seems to have heard Tong ignore it, there will not be more than five in the entire cultivation world, even if it is Tong Zhi's power, he only knows that one of them is located in Zhongzhou, named Huang Fengling's secret market. I didn't expect that in the area of the 100,000 mountains, there was such a secret city.
"Oh, so you've heard of this kind of secret city. "Because this kind of secret market is completely different from the general market. Many of the general markets have gone through thousands of years, or even thousands of years of interpretation, and many markets have formed their own characteristics, such as some markets are mainly engaged in refining materials trading, and some markets are mainly engaged in pill trading, such markets are suitable for cultivators to have a purpose, and those who mainly have those resources at hand can also try to choose to trade in those markets. But this secret market is diverse, there are all kinds of strange things, and there are many flows and uncertainties, so although you may encounter some strange things that cannot be seen in the ordinary market, there may not be any guarantee that those things will be there. Now when Dongyan heard Luobei's tone, he said that he was going to try his luck, and Dongyan knew that Luobei must have something to know about this kind of secret city.
"I specifically asked Tong before to ignore these things. The real power of a behemoth like Kunlun is not only that there are so many existences that have cultivated to the height, but also that it controls so many resources and foundations. Therefore, in order to weaken Kunlun's strength, I think we have to start with these most fundamental things. Otherwise, Kunlun will always be like a snowball, and the vast majority of sects will be attached and hardworking, and it will be difficult to really compete with Kunlun. After Luo Bei replied to these words, he looked at Dongyan and asked, "Where is this Nantianmen Market?"
"Eight hundred miles just south of it. ”
"This is the Blackwood Guide Car?"
After hearing Dongyan's answer, Luobei sacrificed the black wood guide car, pointing straight to the south, Dongyan recognized this magic weapon at a glance, and looked at Luobei's imperial envoy when the Demon King Lotus Platform flew to the north, her face also showed a serious look, "Luobei, you really think more far-reaching than us, it's good for you to think like this, in the war of mortals in the world, many times it is money and resources that determine the outcome of the battle, you think like this, I think you can compete with Kunlun, and even have more chances to defeat Kunlun." ”
"You seem to know more about these resources and transactions than we do, and I'm going to ask you for help next. Luo Bei nodded, looked at Yan Dongyan, and asked: "But I just thought of a place that I don't understand, in the ordinary trading market, there are many righteous and mysterious sects that are restricting each other, and there are some big sects controlling the order, so it is unlikely that there will be a matter of forcible seizure, but this kind of secret market is basically based on personal identity, and regardless of the identity of the other party, who is in control of the secret market? How can we ensure that there is no such thing as forcible and secret robbery?"
"Most of it depends on the prohibition of the secret city itself. Yu Dongyan glanced at the flowing clouds outside the Demon King Lotus Terrace, turned his head to look at Luo Bei and said: "I know a total of three secret cities, the Huangfeng Mausoleum in Zhongzhou, the Dragon Bone Valley in Yizhou, and the Nantianmen closest to the 100,000 Great Mountain. Huang Fengling is a place that belongs to the innate heaven and earth aura disorder, and any spells and magic weapons cast in it will have unexpected consequences. For example, the most common thunderball technique, which is usually cast as a thunderball, may turn into a thunder whip there, and may even become a spell more than ten times more powerful, and it may not necessarily hit you. As for the Dragon Bone Valley and the South Heavenly Gate, they will suffer a strong backlash if they cast any spell in them, the difference is that the Dragon Bone Valley was a large battlefield for the ancient cultivators in the past, but the South Heavenly Gate is the remains of a gathering place for the ancient monks. ”
"Spell backlash?"
Hearing Yu Dongyan say this, Luobei, Nalan Ruoxue and Cai Shu suddenly remembered the Yunmeng Palace in Emei Golden Roof. Cai Shu couldn't help but say, "It seems that the fierceness of the battle of the cultivators born in the Dragon Bone Valley in ancient times is no less than the battle of the Netherworld Blood Demon Golden Dome. I didn't expect that there would be such a tragic war between the ancient cultivators. ”
"I've heard of this, and there have been more than one or two wars of this magnitude. Nalan Ruoxue said suddenly: "I also heard my father say that in places such as Guanwai and Yinshan, there are still several battlefields of ancient cultivator wars. My father had been to those places, and he said that the great battles in those places were probably no smaller than the Great War of the Golden Dome. It's just that those few places have not formed a natural prohibition like Dragonbone Valley. My father even felt that such a big battle in the monastic world might be destined to explode every certain amount of time. ”
"Oh?" Luo Bei's eyes flashed, "Why does your father think so?"
"My father thinks that even if this is not the so-called Heavenly Dao rule, there is a certain cycle of laws. Nalan Ruoxue said softly: "My father feels that after the cultivation world has settled down for a long time, the methods of various sects and sects will flourish, forming a grand scene of a hundred flowers blooming. In such a situation, many characters with the highest cultivation often emerge... If these people's cultivation is even higher, they may have the power to destroy the world with their every move. If there are many such people, one day such a person is in a bad mood, or something goes wrong, and the world may be completely ruined at any time. So my father thought that there might be a law in the dark that would not allow so many powerful people to appear. Just think that some things will decline when they are at their peak, and after the cultivation world is at its peak, maybe there will naturally be a great war like this, and then it will decline for many years, and then slowly flourish. ”
"Not bad. Luo Bei's eyes flashed, and Nalan Ruoxue's words also made him think of a lot of truths, "If a large number of exercises in the cultivation world are lost, and now they are all cultivators who have only reached the Jindan stage at the highest level, no matter what, it will be impossible to form such a big war." ”
And when Luo Bei's words came out, the four people on the Demon King Lotus Platform all fell into a slight silence.
Because all four of them thought that it had been four hundred years since the last Nether Blood Demon Golden Dome Battle... After the Nether Blood Demon fought that day, almost all the masters in the cultivation world died, and for a long time in the future, most of the sects were extremely weak, such as Qingcheng and Kongtong and other big sects, and they were all weakened until now.
But four hundred years have passed ... Now there are many sects that have flourished, and there are also many people who have cultivated to the highest level... The existence of Huang Wushen, Guan Wuxin, and Yuan Tianyi made the four of them can't help but think, could it be that the four hundred years of qi operation are just about to meet such a big war again?
And what made the four of them couldn't help but be slightly silent was that if this was the case, then these four people must also be the protagonists in it
"It's almost there. ”
The Demon King Lotus Platform flew forward in the night sky, and suddenly, Yu Dongyan suddenly stretched out his finger and nodded a little forward.
