Chapter 11 Gaps
Qian Yunsheng and the old captain came to Yaxing, and they were quickly let into a simple room.
This is also the means of Yaxing, as the existence of fishing at sea, no matter how far-sighted and cunning the old captain is, but when he encounters this kind of special taste, he can still be psychologically shortened.
Just like the overall arrangement in this quiet room, the same table, chair, tea, and stool seem to be the same arrangement that ordinary people can see.
But these simple things are put together, and when they are placed here, they can faintly give you a different sense of nobility.
Therefore, these arrangements are all psychological hints of the businessman's extreme cleverness. As soon as you enter this kind of place, you will not have enough confidence in your heart, and you will be careful when you speak unconsciously, which is naturally convenient for the stewards to reduce the price.
And for an immortal master like Qian Yunsheng, this arrangement is a bit flattering.
You must know that although the immortal master and these captains have a strange coexistence relationship in the East China Sea, it does not mean that they are no different. It's just that the situation in the East China Sea is more special, and human beings need to huddle together more for warmth.
But when it comes to these places that need to reflect the grade, these subtle differences still divide people over.
Just like the green buildings in the city and the docks outside the city, as long as you raise the price slightly, you can divide people into three, six, nine, and so on without you knowing.
This seems to be one of the ancient vices of human beings, and wherever there are people, there must be a difference.
It's just that in the barbarian society of the past, such a distinction was particularly rough and coercive.
And now, on the surface, there is no difference between everyone, and it seems to be much more elegant. It's just that this kind of elegance is more hidden, discriminatory, and more unconsciously falling into traps and uncomfortable.
Just like now, Rao is old captain has seen more of the market. But when he arrived at this kind of place, Qian Yunsheng could drink the tea slowly and calmly, while the old captain was like a monkey burning his buttocks, and he felt uncomfortable sitting on his feet.
It seemed to him that it was happier to lie on the side of the boat and smoke his dry tobacco than to sit in this little quiet room and drink such a cup of tea, which seemed likely to buy him a year's worth of cigarettes.
People are sometimes such strange animals, not necessarily the more noble they are, the more comfortable they feel.
On the contrary, the more noble things are, there is always such a "pretending" energy, which makes people always feel that those "nobles" are not born to enjoy at all, but to be punished.
After sitting for a long time, a steward came in with a grin. As soon as he entered the door, he began to apologize busily, and the words seemed to be like a spring breeze, so that the two people who had been sitting in it for a long time would not lose their temper again.
Qian Yunsheng smiled secretly in his heart, this is actually a means in the tooth shop. It's like treating a prisoner who has just entered prison, and he has to kill a hundred people first.
Only in this way can you wait a little longer, so that they can show that their business is extremely good, and they don't care about more of you and less of your customers.
Therefore, Qian Yunsheng didn't have a good face for this kind of steward who talks about people and gossips when he sees people, and after handing over things officially, he seems to have casually asked a question that he is most concerned about:
"May I ask if you have any such things as ghost face mushrooms, ink knife mantises, or black mountain demon scorpions here?"
This is the point he is going to come today, these things are related to the clues to the Nine Shadows, and the most likely answer is in Yaxing.
Unfortunately, he was soon disappointed. I don't know if it's because he's looking for something too biased or too unpopular. The steward of the tooth shop brought a thick account book, checked it for a long time, and still shook his head and said:
"Thousand Immortal Master, you really don't have these things you want, why don't you go to the Fang City and look for them again?"
Although Qian Yunsheng didn't show it on his face, the hand holding the handrail still betrayed his heart.
He actually knew in his heart that with the level of well-informed information in the dental shop, if these things still couldn't be found, it would be even more difficult to receive them in the market.
After all, this tooth shop is ostensibly a place to do the middle and do the security, but behind it is actually the will of the city lord's mansion. You must know that in this world, it is the most difficult to do the guarantee, and there must be a strong force behind the guarantee.
A tooth shop like Linhai City, Qian Yunsheng and the old captain, as long as the two parties agree clearly, they can trade with more confidence. Even the tooth shop can help check whether there is obvious deception and oppression, and you can see the strength of the tooth shop from here.
Basically, everyone can still let both parties hand over the collateral under their supervision with more peace of mind and sign a contract information together, which is also a means to effectively balance the immortal master and mortals here in Linhai City.
Some mortals need the help of immortal masters, and immortal masters also need mortal spirit stones, so Yaxing has developed into a place that plays a transcendent position between the two sides.
However, in fact, today, the dental store is no longer just a place to do insurance.
It has developed into the most active, abundant and information-intensive place in the whole city. Like Qianyunsheng, many of the things he needed before his birth were clues found in the tooth shop.
Therefore, it can also be seen that a tooth shop occupies an extremely special position in the operation of a city. If the tooth shop stops one day, I'm afraid this seaside city will be half paralyzed.
Qian Yunsheng took a few breaths before finally calming his heart that was about to go berserk. He made up his mind, and his face was as bad as if someone owed him a large sum of money, and said helplessly:
"In that case, then you can help me put up these few items of information for purchase. Either of these things, if there is news, I will pay him two...... No, three spirit stones. ”
"If I can get the physical goods, I can buy them at twice the market price. Qian Yunsheng finally added.
The steward nodded, and helped him write it down, so that he could make it clear when he turned around.
Qian Yunsheng also seemed to have lost interest and lamented in his heart. He also knew that this was just a hope in case it existed, and it seemed that he had to find another way.
In fact, as long as he can find one of these things he is purchasing, he can reverse the location of the Nine Shadows Land through such things, and this is also an excellent way to hide his purpose.
Because although these things are a little out of the way, they are not out of the question for those who need them.
Therefore, it would not be too abrupt for him to buy these things, especially some alchemists who refine strange pills and monks who like to keep strange beasts in captivity will also use such things, and Qian Yunsheng is not afraid that he will expose his heels by buying these by himself.
But the hateful thing is that there is none!
Qian Yunsheng patted his head, and secretly cheered in his heart: "Although there is no news for the time being, I still can't give up......"
After leaving the tooth shop, he was temporarily separated from the old captain. The old captain had to rush back to help him sell the corpses of the demon beasts, so the two made an appointment to meet again, and Qian Yunsheng went to the market by himself.
Although he said that he didn't find what he wanted in the tooth shop, it was tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack when he wanted to look for it in the market. But Qian Yunsheng has his own calculations, and he plans to find some books to see if he can find some new clues from them.
With this attitude, he stopped a beast, and behind the beast hung a carriage made of multicolored cooked skin, which was driven by the rider and carried him towards the market.
The market in this coastal city is not large, and there are even a few storefronts with closed doors on the scattered streets.
It's no wonder that this coastal city is still an important location in the East China Sea. But perhaps because it is too close to the sea, it is often attacked by demon tides, so except for the industry related to demon beasts, other industries are not thriving.
The entire Linhai City is like a wartime city, and all people and things are in the service of fighting monsters.
This situation is good and bad. The good thing is that the people here, even mortals, have a sense of fighting, and even in the streets and alleys, you can often see fights and brawls, and these are not uncommon in Linhai City.
The bad thing is that in addition to serving the monsters, it is much more difficult for you to find anything else.
It's like Qian Yunsheng now has a newly earned spirit stone in his hand, but when he arrives at the market, half of the shops don't sell anything, but shout loudly to buy things.
He didn't understand it at first, but then it suddenly dawned on him. It turned out that for the merchants here, the things purchased from here were pulled to Zhongzhou to sell, and the profits were even more considerable.
This also caused a strange scene in Linhai City, where other places are afraid that things can't be sold, but here they are afraid that they won't be able to receive things.
But in this way, it made Qian Yunsheng feel that it was difficult to spend money.
However, this place can't be said that you can't spend money to go, because there is one thing that is particularly prosperous, and that is the Qinglou.
Maybe it's because after staying at sea for a long time, people always need to find an outlet. Or maybe the people of Linhai City have perfectly practiced the saying: "When a man is rich, he becomes bad." ”
Anyway, the green buildings here are one by one, not to mention the number of them, and each green building is ushered in, so it's not lively.
So even if you have more money, don't feel like you can't spend it in Linhai City. This has also become a seaside scene, and even people from other places will come to Linhai City to experience it.
And the green building here is different from other places, where they rest during the day and open at night. But the green building here may be to meet the needs of ships coming and going all year round, except for the late night hours, all other hours are open.
This also caused a great loss of girls, and it was often heard that there were slave traders who sent girls who had not yet grown up here, and they were raised in the house, trained well, and then sent to various green buildings.
However, for Qian Yunsheng, these things are also arithmetic. The things that the city lord of Linhai doesn't care about, it's really not his turn to take care of it.
Thinking about these things, he was walking towards the biggest book in the market.
In fact, this can't be considered a book shop, because there are only more than 100 books here, and they can only occupy a small corner of the room pitifully.
Even with this scale, it is already the largest in the entire Linhai City. It is conceivable how desolate this seaside city is for this kind of demand.
For these fishermen or monks who go to sea, they value their own experiences more than books. Because for them, the fishing experience passed down from generation to generation is already enough, where do they need to get knowledge from books.
With this time, it is better to have two more bottles of good wine and find a few more girls. Qian Yunsheng can actually understand them, just like how he felt when he went to sea this time.
Going to sea is an extremely dangerous thing, and it may not be necessary to die in the belly of a fish next time. Therefore, there is wine today and drunk today, and tomorrow is sorrowful and tomorrow is sorrowful, which is particularly clearly engraved in the blood of Linhai people.
Qian Yunsheng walked into this bookstore, and in the rooms on all four sides, in addition to the books on half the wall, the other walls were dealing with all kinds of messy little things from Zhongzhou.
Most of these things are for monks, such as elixirs to improve cultivation, talismans for fighting, and specially repaired spiritual tools for sale.
In addition, there are some for mortals, such as beautiful jewelry, jewelry, etc., which can be said to be miscellaneous like a grocery store.
In Linhai City, in addition to the Qinglou, there are the best talismans and pills.
Most of the pills from Zhongzhou are refined with herbs and trees, so they tend to be more peaceful. This is not like the East China Sea, where most of the pills used are configured with the flesh and blood of demon beasts, and the pills that are often not configured with plants and trees are more neutral and safer.
I heard that in the East China Sea, every year there are cases of people dying from eating pills made with the flesh and blood of demon beasts, or going mad.
Therefore, this also causes that if there is no way, or money is really tight, most people often prefer to buy some pills with plants and trees.
But on the other hand, the quality of the spiritual tools and spiritual weapons produced in the East China Sea is often much better than that of Zhongzhou.
Maybe it's the relationship between monsters and beasts, and you can often encounter some rare materials here in the East China Sea. As soon as these materials emerge from the East China Sea, they are immediately digested.
This convenience of being close to the water and getting the moon first is incomparable to Zhongzhou, so that many refining masters have also moved to the East China Sea in order to obtain better materials.
However, for Qian Yunsheng, these cannot cause trouble for the time being. He is a ghost cultivator, and the materials he needs are different from most of them on the market.
And his main concern now is to repair the Dementor Banner and heal his wounds, and other things are not in his scope for the time being. Therefore, when he came in, he did not look anywhere else at all, but walked directly towards the bookshelf.
Originally, the guy watched Qian Yunsheng walk in and greeted him warmly, but when he saw that he was only interested in books, he found that he didn't make any money, so he simply turned his face and beckoned other guests to go.
Qian Yunsheng didn't care about the attitude of these guys, he didn't like to be courteous guests in the first place, so he was just happy that they didn't come to bother, and he started to rummage through it alone.
All the books on this shelf are sealed, but luckily, to make it easier for you to find them, there is a note attached to the side of each book with detailed descriptions and comments.
Qian Yunsheng calmed down, looked for and read, spent half an hour, thoroughly flipped through the bookshelves, and finally selected three books and took them out.
"A Chenghui Spirit Stone!"
The shopkeeper at the counter was smiling, for him, anyway, money is earned, no matter how small the mosquito is, it is meat, but it doesn't have the snobbery of a guy.
Qian Yunsheng nodded and threw a spirit stone over. Then he walked out of the shop with three books in his hand and walked towards the next book.
