Compared with other cultivation realms, there is an obvious difference between the Nine Surname Alliance, that is, because of the relationship between blood relatives, the boundary between cultivators and mortals is not obvious.

This is especially common in areas where the lower friars are active.

For example, this is the case in Nine Rivers City, this city occupies a vast area, but the walls are not wide and thick, and there are not only a large number of monks living in the city, but also ten times or more mortals.

The nominal manager here is the Xingli Division sent by the Nine Surnames Alliance under the Tianmeng, but in fact, the Xingli Division does not interfere too much in this kind of small place, except for the workshop set up in a water eye spiritual land by the nearby Jingyang River, other matters in the city are handled by the Jiuhe City Customs Bureau.

The Chengguan Department collects taxes on the capitation of Jiuhe City, usually maintains the security inside and outside the city, and deals with some small disputes, and the rights are not big or small, and most of the people in it are people from the Qin and Zhao families. Therefore, this Nine Rivers City is basically discussed by the Qin and Zhao families.

However, since the last time Qin Shiyu did evil things to Zhao Junyi, the two families had a quarrel, and there was a lot of unhappiness for a while, the Chengguan Department was very stiff, and the people in the city were panicked.

The monk's fighting method is no joke, mortals are not even as hard as a brick and stone in the aftermath, and they can die at least or lose their souls, and there is nowhere to escape. Fortunately, the chief official of the Xingli Division finally came forward to coordinate, so that the two families did not make a big move, and the tension in the city gradually dissipated.

Although Wang Zhong entered Jiuhe City for the first time in this life, he had been to this city several times in his previous life, so he was not a teacher, and after entering the city, he went directly to the destination Jinhonglou.

There are many shops in Jiuhe City, and many of them are not the business of the Qin and Zhao families, although the Qin and Zhao families preside over this place, but after all, the family is too small, the background is insufficient, and the talents are not enough, so it is not bad to be able to obtain the right to manage.

Many of these places where there is a way to make money are branches opened here by big trading houses and big families in other parts of the Nine Surname Alliance, after all, although Nine Rivers City is small, there are thousands of monks and more than 100,000 mortals, and the business opportunities are enough to attract some people to do business here.

Of course, most of the people who can come here are not top giants. For example, this Jin Honglou is a branch industry of the Qi family of Tianyue Mountain, the Qi family of Tianyue Mountain is thousands of miles away in the southeast, and the power in the clan is greater than that of the Qin and Zhao families in Jiuhe City, but it is not much bigger.

However, the place where the Qi family's home is located is Tianyue Mountain, the mountain is two thousand four hundred and eighty zhang high, stretching for hundreds of miles, and halfway up the mountain, all of them are snow peaks, specializing in producing some special elixirs that grow on the snow mountain. Wang Zhong wants to find white ginseng, and it is right to go to the shop of the Qi family in Tianyue Mountain.

However, when he entered the city, the conversation between two Qi refining cultivators passing by aroused his interest.

"Brother Zhao, I said okay last time, the three of us will take turns to help, this time it should be my turn to take me to Ono Zecai to pick that Mobei. ”

"That's the time for that, but I'm afraid it'll have to be postponed for a few more days. ”

"But it's been delayed for several days last time, and if I don't go this time, if Mobei slips away, I won't be able to find the obsidian bead, and I'm missing this obsidian bead for the elixir." Brother Zhao shouldn't want to break the contract with Brother Han. ”

"How can it be, Brother Wei is too careful, how can the demon oath be broken so easily. The main thing is that Brother Han said that Onozawa is not safe these days, so he proposed to postpone. ”

"What danger can Onozawa have, why don't we go to the Jingyang River?"

"That was before, you don't know it, just two days ago, there was tension in the city, and you happened to be in retreat, Brother Han ran away with people to Dayozawa, more than a dozen people, all in the late stage of Qi refining, and as a result, they encountered two fierce beasts of unknown origin, and finally he and Chen Zhongbao of Sanxingtang came back. ”

"How could it be so coincidental?"

"I don't know, but it doesn't seem like anyone has been going to Onozawa lately, so it's better to be careful. ”

These two monks are both faint and obviously low-key people, but Wang Zhong is even more low-key, and after dissipating the aura of mana, he has no sympathy with the aura of heaven and earth, so at first glance, he looks like a mortal.

While the two people were hurrying, they talked in a secret voice, and between the staggered bodies, the two happened to be talking about Ohnozawa, and Wang Zhong heard it clearly.

Although Wang Zhong didn't know what they said later as the distance widened, the recent changes in Onozawa were obviously very unusual.

"It turns out that when the Qin and Zhao families were still negotiating, Onozawa had a large number of fierce beasts of unknown origin infested. It's no wonder that the monks of Nine Rivers City have stopped going there recently. But where did the monks come from?"

Wang Zhong was not very familiar with the geography near Onozawa, and in his previous life, he only knew that the Jiuqu River was not far from here, and it had been extending upstream, thousands of miles away, but he really didn't know much about the distribution of forces on the south bank of this river.

After all, he didn't stay long in Nine Rivers City, but after helping the Qin family do one game, Yi accompanied him and continued to go south with everyone.

Wang Zhong kept this matter in his heart, and then went straight to the Qi family's Jin Honglou.

Jin Honglou is located in the center of Jiuhe City, compared to the bustle of the area that entered the city, it is more deserted here, because some of the subordinate yamen institutions of the Chengguan Department of the Xingli Division are all not far from here, and most of the activities here are monks, not like near the city gate, in fact, most of them are places where mortals live.

The biggest difference between the place where the monks are active and the areas where mortals live is the concentration of aura.

The water network in the Nine Rivers City is dense, and the largest river passes through the city, and there is a water eye in it, which is the place where the spiritual energy of the upper and lower rivers is most condensed, and it is next to the Xingli Division.

With this water eye as the center, the concentration of aura gradually increases from the outside to the inside, so those who can live or open shops in this vicinity are basically monks.

Jinhong Building is three floors high, and the floor does not look very outstanding, but after entering the door, a cool air suddenly blows to the face, which makes people feel refreshed, and there is a hole in the building.

I don't know if it's because the main marketing here is the material produced in Tianyue Snow Mountain, the layout of the building, like the ice and snow world, the white leopard holding the lamp, the snow crane bell, everywhere crystal clear, like a giant carved ice sculpture in general.

Before Wang Zhong entered the door, a servant girl had already greeted him, and Wang Zhong felt it a little, and knew that this servant girl also had cultivation, but it was in the early stage of qi refining, and she looked like one or two times.

Wang Zhong didn't think it was strange that this kind of place was originally a monk, and the layout of this shop, mortals can't stay here, and they will even get frostbite after standing for a long time, so it's understandable that all monks are hired.

And in the groundless casual cultivation, it is a good livelihood to be able to have such a stable livelihood.

"Ahem, you should have white ginseng, right?" Wang Zhong did not politely talk to this maidservant, and directly explained his intentions.

Respectfully led the maid of the king to smile slightly, and replied: "The predecessors want to look for white ginseng, but they came to the right place, the entire Jiuhe City, if we talk about other things, we don't dare to compare with Jinhonglou, but when it comes to white ginseng, it is produced in this store, and the effect is even better than that of wild materials."
