"Haha, is this majestic and personable young man the owner of the spirit stone?" A white-bearded old man looked at Zhang Lingyun with a loving smile, and the enthusiasm in his expression made people can't bear to refuse, "The little boy should come to the city that never sleeps for the first time, right?"

"The old man is so curious about my young master, shouldn't he have any bad intentions?!" The poisonous flame centipede straightened up his tall and burly figure and moved in the direction of Zhang Lingyun, invisibly releasing a sense of deterrence no less than that of a battle-hardened general.

Matthews' current appearance is exactly the same as when the few people first met, and he directly introduced the old man next to him, "Haha, haha, this old man is an appraiser of our Tiancai Exchange...... Master Wu Deli, the old man speaks straightforwardly, and please don't mind Zhang Gongzi!" Matthews glanced at the old and cunning Wu Deli, if it weren't for Zhang Gongzi's inconvenience here, he couldn't wait to blast out this stinky old man who forgot his righteousness right now.

"In Xia Zhang Yun, I was fortunate to participate in such a grand event when I first came to Baodi, it is really a blessing for three lives," Zhang Lingyun bowed and saluted, and his attitude was neither humble nor arrogant, but it also had the invisible respect of the younger generation for the old man.

"Haha, Gongzi is unique, okay, I don't know where your mansion is seated, can Wu have the honor to visit?"

Wu Deli completely ignored Matthews's warning, and still went his own way to probe Zhang Lingyun's details, hoping to get some useful information from the words, after all, the attraction of the spirit stone mine cave is too strong, even if the young man in front of him cultivates, it is difficult to guarantee that he can get out of the city that never sleeps unharmed, and when the important secrets of the spirit stone are cheaper for others, he may even regret his intestines.

"Old man, the family has been hidden for a long time and does not ask about the world, so it is inconvenient to disclose it below,"

The other party's repeated questioning had already made Zhang Lingyun a little uncomfortable, and his attitude was much colder than before, Zhang Lingyun had never fought with others here, even the most shrewd monk could not find clues from himself, so as to find out more information about his own sect, after all, many of his secrets were not even known to the Heavenly Master.

From the beginning of entering the door, Matthews's eyes swept over Zhang Lingyun from time to time, and he wanted to distinguish the true identity of the young man from some small places, but unfortunately the young man always maintained a calm and calm smile, and even the old man at noon gave up his face and failed to come up with the slightest useful words, and finally Matthews had to give up the idea of exploring the identity of the young man.

"Ahem...... , I have been annoyed that Zhang Yun Gongzi has been waiting for a long time, and the formalities for the spirit stone transaction have just been completed,"

Matthews took out a dozen pieces of paper out of nowhere, frowned slightly from time to time as he flipped through them, and finally showed a smile and took out a translucent glass card, on which was painted with the unique logo of the Tiancai Exchange.

Zhang Lingyun nodded slightly and was about to reach out and take the glass card, but he felt that Old Man Wu showed a surprised expression, raised his hand and stopped in the air with a slight embarrassment, looked in the direction of Wu Deli and slowly asked, "Old man, is there anything wrong?"

"Hehe, it's just that I haven't seen the VIP card of the Tiancai Exchange for a long time, and I am just a little excited in my heart," Wu Deli just wanted to reach out and touch the card in Matthews' hand, but he was glared back by a fierce look from the other party, and snorted coldly like a child and ignored everyone.

"Zhang Gongzi, this VIP card will only be issued by the Tiancai Exchange every year, but anyone who holds the card will receive VIP treatment at any exchange, even if they don't participate in any transaction, eating and drinking are free, and the conversion tax rate generated by the transaction will also be reduced from ten percent to five percent," Matthews said with his usual smile and handed the glass card in the direction of Zhang Lingyun again.

This time Zhang Lingyun did not hesitate to take it into his pocket, under normal circumstances, no one would refuse such a substantial good thing, Zhang Lingyun waved his hand and twelve palm-sized spirit stones appeared in the tray, "The previous transaction was hard for the two, meeting in the vast sea of people is fate, these four spirit stones are counted as a meeting gift, please accept the two of you." ”

Zhang Lingyun has been courteous since he was a child to show politeness, no matter what reason the other party gave himself such a rare VIP card, he can't lose his courtesy in front of people, he now has nothing to do with his long things, only the spirit stone is still precious and can be used as a return gift, originally Zhang Lingyun wanted to send five pieces per person, anyway, his spirit stone is so much that he is jealous and resentful, and he can only pile it up there, but thinking of the number of spirit stones sent into Prince Yishen before, Zhang Lingyun still cautiously reduced the return gift in response, and the carelessness of the province caused himself to be unjustified。

"Zhang Gongzi, is this really for us?"

Wu Deli touched his white beard, and skimmed to the tray containing the spirit stone with an arrogant face, seemingly indifferent, but the light in his eyes could not deceive people, although this spirit stone had no effect on his own cultivation, but who did not have a junior who was qualified to dive, thinking of his own little good grandson, Wu Deli's little heart has begun to flutter and beat wildly.

"The quality appraisal of my spirit stone is fortunate to be the senior of the afternoon, and the spirit stone transaction is due to Matthews, you two don't have to be polite,"

Although this exchange has extracted a high tax rate, Zhang Lingyun is by no means a stingy person, it is naturally good to be able to make friends when he goes out, even if he does not have that fate, he hopes to have less trouble, and the person who sees his true face in the exchange and knows the origin of the spirit stone is still as strict as possible.

"The old man is also a sensible person, I didn't see anything today, Zhang Gongzi came here to buy some trivial small things," Wu Deli shook his head at the spirit stone in the tray, and then nodded to the tray where the pearl hairpin was placed on the side, and the intention was very obvious that he would keep it a secret for Zhang Yun.

Although Matthews did not express his position, he gave people a sense of integrity that he would not be shaken by small profits, let alone leak exchange information due to the coercion and inducement of others, which made people reluctant to question him.

"Zhang Gongzi, the spirit stones have been sold for a total of 500,000 taels of gold, minus all the treasures you have purchased, 383,431 taels of gold, plus eight high-grade spirit stones, deducting the five percent transaction tax rate, and the rest is all here," Matthews smiled and took out a dozen silver tickets and handed them over.

"Poison Yan, you take it first!"

Zhang Lingyun handed the silver ticket to the poisonous centipede, but he secretly looked at it in his heart, he had no concept of money, let alone seen so much money, and he didn't know how to manage consumption, so he could only hope for the two girls in the compartment.

"Zhang Gongzi, I don't know where you live temporarily in the city that never sleeps, if you have any needs, you can give priority to our Tiancai Exchange," Wu Deli naturally hoped to keep in touch with him, and he didn't want to sell it and wanted to get out of the other party's residence.

"I was deceived by a girl when I first came here, and I haven't found a suitable place to stay," Zhang Lingyun did not shy away from saying what was accused, and he didn't think it was a shameful act at all.

"That winning girl does get a lot of rewards from the exchange, and if it causes you unpleasantness, we'll try to compensate for it," Matthews has dealt with similar customer feedback, usually discounting the transaction to calm things down, after all, not everyone waiting to be slaughtered can find out about it.

"Oh...... Compensation!"

Zhang Lingyun thought about it a little thoughtfully, the most important thing for him now is to prepare to rescue Chiyan, he needs a relatively quiet environment to draw talismans, buy some necessary daily necessities, and there are many trivial things to handle, Zhang Lingyun scanned everything around him while thinking, and then showed a smile of understanding when he saw Jia Si standing in the corner.

"If Childe has any requests, we will do our best to cooperate," Wu Deli was worried that he had no chance to express his kindness, so that the young man had a deeper impression of himself, how could he miss this sudden opportunity.

"I'm a young entourage who knows more about the customs and customs of today's society, I don't know if you have any good suggestions in the exchange," Zhang Lingyun's expression was very obvious, and now he was just waiting for what kind of reply the other party would give him.

"All buy slaves, cattle, horses, camels, snails, donkeys," in the eyes of the powerful The status of the slave is not a person, the slave can be directly said to be a tradable commodity, the slave trade in the Qing Dynasty is also a legal transaction, by the clear protection of national legislation, from the file, the drafting of the transaction, the contract to the two sides to give money to complete the transaction, and even the 'after-sales service' is within the scope of the legislative protection at that time, normal people can not imagine how difficult the daily life of the slave is.

Slaves are people who have no personal freedom, they can be bought and sold or killed by the owner at will, and they will not be held accountable by the government, the rank of the slave is closely related to their ability and appearance, and the generally beautiful people are usually sent to the homes of the king's grandsons and nobles, and serve their masters as slaves to live and let them have fun at will, and those with poor fate may be sent to the fireworks to live a difficult life, and the most miserable people may be sent to work in the bitter kiln, and they may die at any time, no matter how prosperous the country is, the concept of human rights is very weak, and the existence of slaves is like a kind of goods that can contribute to productivity, but does not have basic human rights。

"Hmph, Childe's proposal is very interesting, I wonder what kind of price you are going to pay to redeem him?" Matthews is so smart, he knows it from the young man's expression when he just swept the fourth grade, and now what he is most curious about is how can this fourth grade be how he can make a reclusive person like Zhang Yun interested in him.

"Haha, if I really can't hide your insight, since I am a buyer, I naturally hope that the more affordable the better," Zhang Lingyun waved his hand to signal the other party to sit down and talk slowly, and took out the chicken thighs that had been roasted before the poison flame from the Qiankun bag and ate them, making the tense atmosphere in the room instantly disappear.
