Volume 3 Twin Elements Chapter 113 The Five Families of Blue and White City
For countless years, the south side of the tall mountains, the wind and sunshine are beautiful, and the climate is suitable, attracting many people to settle here.
'Leaf' is naturally Maple Leaf City, while 'Three Flowers' is Blue and White City, Blue Flower City and Jinhua City.
Blue and white, blue and brocade flowers sound very casual, and I don't know who started it, or some people supported it.
Although the city of three flowers does not have as many people as Maple Leaf City, each city also has a scale of hundreds of thousands of people, and in addition to Sanhua City, there are countless towns and villages, and in larger towns, there are even 10,000 or 20,000 mortals living in them!
What is in Maple Leaf City, Sanhua City has it, Maple Leaf City does not have it, Sanhua City also has it!
However, there is only one thing in Sanhua City, which is the monks' workshop.
The so-called monk workshop is the place where the monks gather, most of them are composed of monks, because it is close to the bluestone gate, nearly thirty percent of them are the doormen of the bluestone gate.
After more than ten days of flying, Jiang Ping finally arrived at Maple Leaf City. In the past ten days, Jiang Ping has been non-stop, and when half of the aura is consumed, he stops to rest and recover his aura. He didn't dare to easily exhaust the aura in his body, in case he encountered a vicious cultivator, wouldn't he suffer if he lost his aura?
Along the way, when you are hungry and sleepy, you can find a place, use magic weapons to split a simple cave, and then dig a cave in the ground, directly take the dead branches and rotten leaves on it, and use the breath to completely hide your breath and deal with it for a night.
Along the way, the first layer of the "Nine Virtues Breathing Technique" taught by Yuan Zhenren was preliminarily practiced, and the first layer was originally refined during the Qi refining period, not to mention that this method mainly depends on the divine body and divine sense, Jiang Ping is not weak in both, and he can naturally master it easily.
Therefore, there has been no abnormality for more than ten days.
When he arrived in Maple Leaf City, Jiang Ping did not change his low-key style, and as soon as he entered the city, he found a restaurant, slept all day, recovered his spirit and aura, and then left the restaurant.
There was still a place in Maple Leaf City that made Jiang Ping feel itchy, so he left the restaurant and came straight here.
Weekly shop!
At the beginning, Jiang Ping found a broken bowl and an alchemy furnace here, and when he was cultivating in the bluestone gate, he felt itchy in his heart whenever he thought about it, and he couldn't wait to fly to this shop to find the treasure again, in case he could find the same treasure as the alchemy furnace again.
......
"Hey, where's the sign?"
Jiang Ping looked up, the place that used to be, the place of the humble shop, the small shop with two wooden planks that could be used as a door, had become a magnificent and large pharmacy, and the signboard that had been baptized by the years was hung up at this time, Jifangtang, a medicine shop. Depressed, he walked in.
As soon as he entered the pharmacy, a strong smell of medicinal herbs came to his nose, and when a young man saw Jiang Ping coming in, he saw that Jiang Ping was dressed extraordinarily, so he ran over, "This son, what do you need? We not only have ordinary medicinal materials here, but also century-old ginseng." ”
Jiang Ping was originally low-key, although the clothes were gorgeous, but he did not choose himself, he was dressed in green clothes when he came out of the bluestone gate, because the outside world was more dangerous, he deliberately rubbed in the mountains and forests and could not see the color, and when he arrived in Maple Leaf City, he asked the restaurant Xiao Er to find a few sets of clothes in the store, or the silver was more, and Xiao Er directly took back a few gorgeous clothes.
Jiang Ping only felt comfortable, and he didn't care.
"I remember that this place is Zhouji, when did it become a medicine recipe hall shop?" Jiang Ping frowned, with a depressed look.
The little guy lowered his head and smiled, and replied: "I saw that you went out for a long time and came back, this place has long been converted into a pharmacy, and it should be four or five years old." ”
"Oh, what about the Zhouji shop?" Jiang Ping asked as if he didn't care.
The shopkeeper looked around and lowered his voice closely.
"Zhou Ji was gone six or seven years ago, I heard that Zhou Ji seemed to have found some treasure, attracting two immortal cultivators, but these two immortal masters refused to let anyone for the treasure, and fought in the store, and the boss of Zhou Ji was killed on the spot, if it weren't for the two immortal masters to converge, this old house was also demolished. ”
"What about the shop's stuff?" Jiang Ping asked.
"It seems that the shop has been taken away by the immortal masters, and when our owner saw that this place was empty, he applied to the city lord's mansion to take down this land, and when our shop moved in, only the house remained. The little guy smacked his tongue and thought it was incredible.
Jiang Ping frowned when he heard this, the two immortal masters fought over things, the house was not destroyed, the shopkeeper was killed, and the things were gone?
It's not right, gold and silver are very important to mortals, but they are nothing to immortal masters, so they won't act to kill the shopkeeper and kill people and sell goods.
Jiang Ping couldn't figure it out, and he couldn't ask anything useful, so he turned around and walked out of Jifang Hall.
The herb shop followed a person, fluffy hair, messy, a big squill at the corner of his mouth, and his eyes were slippery, and he was smart.
He saw that Jiang Ping's feet did not stop, he hurriedly followed, and then made a turn, and he did not see Jiang Ping again. He cursed depressedly, turned a few corners, and came to a dilapidated courtyard.
"Brother Yan, I found a person in the Jifangtang Pharmacy today, who looks like a monk, I went out of the pharmacy with him, and lost it at the old cowhide goods. The young man whispered, looking very respectful.
In the dilapidated courtyard, a lame boy limped out of the house, looked at the mad boy, and said, "Keep watching! No matter what, I want to see the monk!"
"Yes!" the young man's face changed, and he turned his head and walked out of the courtyard.
Although Jiang Ping would not release his divine sense easily, his vigilance was too strong, and a mortal could not feel it when he followed him, but he didn't want to do much, so he ignored it.
In Maple Leaf City, Jiang Ping didn't have any extra memories, and Taihe Lou didn't have to go, he didn't have the heart to enjoy it yet. There was just one more person he wanted to meet, and that person was Jiang Ping's only mortal friend in Maple Leaf City - Gong Ming, a chubby and beardless young man!
It's a pity that Maple Leaf City is too big, and he is not good at looking for Gong Ming, and he doesn't dare to let go of his divine sense easily, who knows if this Maple Leaf City is hiding a person with superb cultivation, and he doesn't plan to stay in Maple Leaf City for a long time, so he looked for Monk Fang City, didn't stay long in Fang City, bought a spiritual root stone and left.
Qinghua City is very close to Maple Leaf City, only more than three hundred miles.
Jiang Ping's feet did not stop, and Edgeworth came to Qinghua City. There were still more than ten miles away from Qinghua City, so he fell from the sky and blended into a team of hunters, wanting to follow them into Qinghua City.
The hunters are very talkative, but they don't know much about Blue and White City.
Most of these hunters came from the surrounding towns, and they usually hunted for a living, transporting animal skins, flesh, bones, etc. into Qinghua City in exchange for salt, iron and stone utensils and other daily necessities.
"Big brother, give!"
A young man in a leather skirt ran over and handed Jiang Ping a piece of roasted meat. The boy's name is Ying Chao, the son of the captain of the hunter, eight years old, it is the innocent youth, and this time he entered the blue and white city mayor to see.
Jiang Ping smiled slightly, touched Ying Chao's little head, said thank you, and took a small piece of silver from his waist, about one or two handed it to Ying Chao, Ying Chao's little head shook like a rattle, and he ran away without accepting it.
These people are very simple and enthusiastic, Jiang Ping actually didn't do anything, just said that he didn't know where Qinghua City was, and when he asked to go into the city with them, they agreed, didn't ask anything, and didn't ask for anything, but brought him food when they arrived.
Jiang Ping smiled and put the silver into the cloth bag around his waist. He didn't put the silver in the storage bag, the silver was not too important to him, and it was awkward to put it in the storage bag. This silver was still asked for by Taihelou in Maple Leaf City at that time, and Jiang Pinghua's heart was at ease.
Ten miles away, a team of more than 20 hunters walked for an hour and arrived, and after entering Chengjiangping, he said hello to the child Ying Chao, and then separated from the small team of hunters.
He doesn't know anything about Qinghua City now, he only knows that Yuan Zhen's real surname is Cai, and the head of the Cai family at this time is Cai Jing, and he can be regarded as a relatively powerful merchant in Qinghua City.
After many investigations, the distribution of forces in Qinghua City was clarified.
Qinghua City is special, only more than 300 miles away from the giant city of Maple Leaf City, and it is the closest city in Sanhua City. It is a city built based on iron ore resources, so the smelting technology in Qinghua City is very powerful, and the smelting masters that may not be found in Maple Leaf City can be easily found in Qinghua City. Secondly, leather goods, brocade, medicinal herbs, and the huge grain production outside the city are also the largest sources of Maple Leaf City.
And most of these businesses were shared by the city's wealthy.
Like the Cai family, relying on the care of Yuan Zhenren for hundreds of years, its strength has expanded dramatically, and it has become one of the five major families in the city, mainly accounting for the vast majority of the turnover of iron ore, salt and grain.
Each of the five major families of Cai, Li, Qing, Meng, and Ji has its own strengths, dividing the entire Qinghua City into as much as ninety percent, and some other small families can only survive in the cracks of the five major families.
This kind of big city, even if it has become a demon cultivator, does not dare to invade easily, and can only find some small towns, causing many people outside the city to want to blend into the city and settle in the city.
Scarcity is expensive, the city is so big, there are many people, it is definitely not enough to live, the price of houses in the city of three flowers is getting higher and higher, so far, a small courtyard is sky-high!
Many people outside the city have spent their lives fighting to be able to buy a house in the city of three flowers, just so that future generations can live more comfortably.
