Chapter 41: The Treasure Pavilion
Surabaya City, one of the top ten cities in Hengzhou, is located on the bank of the largest river in Hengzhou, "Surabaya", backed by the Sunset Mountains, majestic, ancient and majestic. Its self-established order was under the jurisdiction of the city lord's mansion, and was not subject to the control of the Southern Jin court. Of course, it is also ruled by Nanyue Xianshan.
Surabaya City was different from the worldly cities that Gu Li had passed through before, this was a real city of cultivation outside the square. Most of the practitioners in the city are from the local and four directions, and there are also many cultivation families and sects. Compared with those secular cities, there is less fireworks and more immortal energy.
The city of immortals has its own immortal energy.
And the strongest power in Surabaya City is naturally the City Lord's Mansion, which is ordered by Nanyue Immortal Mountain to rule this Xiongcheng and some surrounding territories. The strongest cultivator is the city lord. It is said that his cultivation is already above the Five Realms. It is not far behind the rulers of the Six Kingdoms, and even stronger.
The business of Surabaya City is also very prosperous, but most of the things sold here are cultivation things, and the clothing, food, housing and transportation of ordinary people are not the mainstream. And the mainstream trade currencies outside the square are no longer ordinary gold and silver. It is the five kinds of "fairy money" of the immortal family. Because gold and silver could not be used to trade those expensive cultivation treasures, such as magic weapons, elixirs, martial arts books, and so on.
"Immortal money" contains the vigorous vitality and aura of heaven and earth, and in a sense, it is also a kind of cultivation treasure. There are five of them, one more advanced than the other, and the exchange price varies.
The most common kind of fairy money, called "five baht money", is a kind of fairy currency with a round shape and a square inside, bronze material, and a large amount of vitality. It is commonly used in the spiritual world and the Middle-earth Dynasty.
The fairy money, which is one level higher than the five-baht coin, is called "merit money", and it can be exchanged for 1,500 baht coins.
Today, Gu Li's four people and Wang Jingze's three brothers, a total of seven people, used Luoyi's five baht money to spend in a restaurant in Surabaya City. Because all the ingredients, wine, and tea here are all spiritual objects that are beneficial to cultivation, and there is even no shortage of high-quality ones. Therefore, the price is very expensive.
Today's meal cost Luo Yi more than 300 five baht.
Wang Jingze's senior brothers and brothers had to continue to be grateful for this, they only brought some fairy money used in the guest house in Surabaya City, and they didn't dare to spend it like this. As for Gu Li, Mu Shen and Cen Yao were even more miserable. As a Taoist priest, Mu Shen pays attention to poverty, and the fairy money he brought with him has long been spent, so he was so angry after his teacher left. Because he is penniless, it is even more difficult for him to return to the Xuandu Temple in the East China Sea than to ascend to the sky. And Gu Li and Cen Yao didn't even know what fairy money was, let alone that thing on their bodies. So the three of them are becoming more and more respectful of Luoyi. This is their food and clothing.
Gu Li was a little glad that he was a fellow Luo Yi, otherwise he would be alone, and he would still be wandering around in the mountains of the Southern Chu Kingdom, and he would have no money to eat. Thinking about it this way, I was a little sloppy when I went down the mountain, and I didn't have any money with me! The problem is that Yun Shen doesn't seem to have any money anywhere. It seems that the master deliberately let him taste the sufferings and ups and downs of the world. But fortunately, I met Luo Yi.
After eating and drinking, they left the restaurant, and the group returned to the inn to rest. There are houses on the ferry, but it's not a good place to rest. They spent most of their time cultivating, and they hadn't had a good rest for nearly twenty days after leaving Nanyang City.
At noon on the second day, Wang Jingze and the three of them came to say goodbye: "Four, now there are only five days left before the ninth day of the ninth month of September, and then it will be the discussion meeting of Sunset Mountain Villa, and our senior brothers must rush to the Sunset Mountain Range to meet the master in advance, so we will leave today." ”
"The three of them walked slowly. Gu Li didn't keep a few people.
"Thank you for your care during this time, we will take it to heart. Wang Jingze showed a grateful look and said, "If the four of you are interested, you can go to Sunset Mountain Villa with our senior brothers, and then we will also ask the teacher to introduce you and repay you a little." And if you continue to stay in this city, I'm afraid that you will be retaliated against by Shen Wanyi's bastard. ”
"Haha, Brother Wang, don't worry, we plan to walk around the city first, and maybe we will go to Sunset Mountain Villa to watch the ceremony in two days, you go first. Gu Li smiled and replied. It was a decision made by the four of them after deliberation.
"Okay, then don't leave it here, our senior brother will go first. Wang Jingze didn't say much when he heard this, these four people have their own opinions, and they won't change anything just by listening to him. So there is no need to say more.
In the end, Wang Jingze and the three of them clasped their fists and saluted the four of them, and then left the inn and went to the villa in the Sunset Mountain Range.
"I don't know if they'll come, maybe not again. Wang Jingze walked on the road with some sighs. In these short 20 days, their brothers and sisters have been blessed by others and are truly grateful to them. And those four people are all first-class talents and righteous and upright people, and they are worthy of deep friendship. It's a pity that they are all pedestrians on the path of cultivation, passing by in a hurry.
"Yes, Gu Li is indeed a good person. Wang Jingze's two junior disciples also nodded, a little sighing.
......
After Gu Li and the four of them walked out of the inn, they walked around the street and saw many cultivators of all kinds, including martial artists, scholars, sword cultivators with swords and swords, sword cultivators, and monks of the three sects, all kinds of characters. Gather in this Surabaya city to practice, trade, and live. It's very lively.
Gu Li can also be regarded as the first time to see the real place of cultivation, the Fangwai Immortal Family. Cen Yao is similar, although she has seen a lot of things with Lu Chengzhi from Beiyue to Nanyue before, but she was still young at the time, she had no impression, and she only had hatred in her heart. I have been staying in Nanyang Academy for all these years to retreat, and I don't know about the real cultivation world.
Luo Yi and Mu Shen are better than them, but they have been staying in their own territory before, and this time it is not bad to feel other people's houses, it is a different experience.
Finally they walked into a huge pavilion. As the name suggests, it gathers the treasures of the world in one pavilion. In the Treasure Pavilion, there is everything, including the treasures of the four seas, and there is almost nothing that you will not find here. Every day, it attracts all kinds of cultivators to go and buy magic weapons, pills, talismans, etc., to improve their cultivation, and is a well-known commercial force in the cultivation world.
Magnificent high-rise buildings are one after another, almost forming a magnificent complex of buildings in the prosperous commercial area. Whether it's outside or inside the pavilion, every day is a crowd of people gathering to carry out all kinds of transactions. Gold, silver, and fairy money can all be traded in exchange for different treasures.
Some people laugh when they find a treasure that suits them, and some people are angry at what they missed. Some people compare money and wealth, high prices and low allocation.
Walking into the first floor, there are monks from the treasure building to receive them, leading them to look for them in the dazzling array of spiritual treasures, and from time to time to explain and recommend to them, with a good attitude. Regardless of whether they are rich or poor, everyone who enters the Treasure Pavilion is their guest and will be treated. This is much better than the average store.
Of course, there is also a difference between distinguished guests and ordinary guests. Naturally, the number of reception ceremonies is also different.
"If you need something, just say, I'll buy it for you, I'll buy some elixir. Luo Yi said to the other three.
"Thank you, big sister. The three of them clasped their fists one after another, looking sincere, which made Luo Yi smile, and then motioned to the middle-aged man who entertained them, "I want some high-grade elixir." ”
"Top-grade elixir, on the third floor, Miss comes with me. Hearing this, the man politely pointed the way, and walked to the stairs with Luo Yi, and Cen Yao also followed. Gu Li and Mu Shen didn't go, they walked around the first floor casually, browsing around.
Most of the things on the first floor are just low-grade spiritual treasures, and the two of them don't need them, so they went directly to the second floor after a while, where they are almost medium-grade spiritual treasures, and it still has a little effect on them.
As far as Gu Li could see, he saw a crimson long sword, glowing with a brilliant luster, but it was just an ordinary middle-grade Renyuan magic weapon, and it was not as good as the long sword that Luo Yi gave him. But the price was still high, which scared Gu Li. It costs six thousand taels of silver or two hundred five baht!
"Do you need this red gold sword? Your vision is really good, this is a medium-grade human yuan magic weapon, indestructible, and the most suitable for the guest to use at present." A beautiful young lady introduced Gu Li with a smile on her face. Gu Li shook his head and continued to walk forward.
And Mu Shen doesn't look down on things here, after all, his cultivation has touched the threshold of the Four Realms, and the mid-grade spirit treasure is really of little use to him. Only the top-grade or top-grade spiritual treasure is useful to him. As for Xuanbao, it was a little beyond his strength. But that thing, I don't think much of it comes to this treasure pavilion. Each piece is surprisingly expensive.
"Let's go to the third floor with Luo Yi to have a look, these things are really useless. Mu Shen said that he intended to buy some things, because the last time he fought with the black-robed ghost cultivator, his Liangyi copper plate was worn out and needed some spiritual nourishment.
"Hmm. Gu Li nodded, and then went up to the third floor with Mu Shen. By the time we arrived, there were significantly fewer guests. Just because of the high-grade spiritual treasure, ordinary people can't afford it. The price is much higher than that of Zhongpin Lingbao.
The entire treasure building is only five stories high, and there are fewer things and guests on the fourth floor, where there are superb spiritual treasures. As for the fifth floor, there is a small amount of Xuanbao stored, and there are almost no guests.
After walking around on the third floor, I met Luo Yi's two daughters, they both had gains, and Luo Yi specially purchased some elixirs and elixirs for Cen Yao, which could be used for her practice. Seeing Gu Li and Mu Shen, he asked, "Is there anything you want to buy?"
"Of course. Mu Shen nodded again and again and greeted the receptionist on the third floor. A young lady came over and said respectfully, "What do the guests need?" Mu Shen replied, "Is there any Chiyang Refined Copper here?"
"That's a high-grade fire treasure, doesn't the son have to refine the weapon?" The young lady was a little surprised, this kind of thing is useless for cultivation, but a pure refining material.
"It's not. Mu Shen shook his head and asked again, the young lady nodded, and led him somewhere to trade Chiyang Refined Copper. Luo Yi looked at Gu Li again and said softly, "What about you?"
"I don't seem to have much to do. Gu Li smiled bitterly when he heard this. Luo Yi and Cen Yao both smiled, there are treasures everywhere, how could there be no one for him? It's just that Gu Li didn't know what he wanted.
"Your cultivation has reached the Huang Ting Realm Xiaocheng, if you want to become a Dacheng, you still need a large number of spiritual objects to refine the body and condense the qi and expand the qi sea, how can there be no need?" Luo Yi smiled and said to the other young lady: "Get me some Qi Gathering Pill and Body Strengthening Pill." ”
"Guests wait. The young lady nodded and walked over.
After a while, Mu Shen came over with Chiyang Refined Copper, and the Qi Gathering Pill and Strong Body Pill that Luo Yi asked for for Gu Li were also sent over by the young lady. After Luo Yi paid the bill, the four of them planned to leave.
"Four guests, there is an auction held in the Treasure Pavilion today, do you want to go and take a look, there are many treasures auctioned there, even this Treasure Tower. ”
A young lady's voice rang out.
