Chapter 254: First Entry into Tianhai City!
Shiguo, located in the easternmost part of the Western Continent, is frequently adjacent to the Endless Sea, the terrain is long and narrow, and the products are barren, but this is the flattest junction of the Endless Sea in the Western Continent, so whenever there are monks who come and go between the two, they choose this place as a place to stay. Over time, this stone country has gradually become rich by relying on these monks, and there are also many businessmen among the human monks and sea clan monks here, a lively and prosperous scene.
Tianhai City is the largest city in the Stone Country, located on the southeasternmost border of the Stone Country. There is the largest cultivator bazaar in the stone country, and there is also a huge auction hall, Tianhai Auction Hall. Both human monks and sea clan monks will choose to buy and sell cultivation items here. Because of the geographical relationship, both sides have an unimaginably huge demand for each other's output, which also invisibly increases the importance of the city.
On this day, at the gate of Tianhai City, a man dressed in black flew from a distance, his long hair tied at random behind his head was slightly messy, and his calm face could not hide the tiredness between his eyebrows.
Ning Zhe has been in the Dan Kingdom for so long, so he has naturally heard about the Endless Sea, and he has also learned about this Tianhai City, but it is the first time he has arrived. Looking at the huge gate of Tianhai City from afar, I saw that the two gates were made of two huge shells, and when the gate was closed, the sawtooth on the shells would bite together tightly. On top of the huge city wall, there are ornaments like fish fins, which can emit sounds similar to an alarm, which are used to sound warnings, which are absolutely not seen in the interior of the Western Continent.
However, at this time, Ning Zhe didn't have the heart to pay attention to these, he just entered the city in a hurry after taking five spirit stones at the city gate, as long as it was a monk's city, the spirit stones were universal. What's more, the spirit veins among the Sea Clan are poor, and the output of spirit stones is naturally very small, so the spirit stones here are more precious than those in the Western Continent.
However, at this time, Ning Zhe was a veritable poor bastard, and when he left the Dan Kingdom, he handed over all the spirit stones obtained from the Qianzhen Pavilion and the Taiyin Gate to the Fuyi Divine Monk, so that he could use them to strengthen the power of the Dan League. He himself only kept a very small part of the spirit stones, and these spirit stones were a drop in the bucket for a Dan Realm cultivator.
Ning Zhe felt a little tired after several days of speeding, he casually found an inn on the side of the road and walked in, this inn seemed to be doing good business, and the hall was full of hundreds of tables. He looked at it for a long time before finding a table in the back and sitting down.
"This senior, we have all kinds of delicacies from the sea here, as well as the unique wine of the Sea Clan, what would you like to have?" he had just sat down when a waiter came over and greeted him.
Ning Zhe raised his eyes and saw that there was a faint fluctuation of spiritual power around this waiter's body, and this person was a monk of the sixth turn of the Guyuan Realm. Seeing this scene, he was also slightly shocked in his heart, you must know that even in the Western Continent, there are definitely not too many places where monks can be used as waiters, but he didn't expect that any inn in Tianhai City would have such a big deal, which couldn't help but surprise him.
But when he picked up the menu and looked at it a few times, there was a trace of embarrassment on his face, any dish on it cost hundreds of spirit stones, and the most expensive one actually cost a thousand medium-grade spirit stones! However, at this time, Ning Zhe was obviously reluctant to spend so many spirit stones to satisfy his appetite.
Just when he hesitated and didn't know what to say, a middle-aged man came from the side, sat down directly beside Ning Zhe, and said to the waiter: "Go, go, don't you see that this senior is thinking about something? You will come back later!"
The waiter pursed his lips, he obviously saw that Ning Zhe was shy, but the other party's cultivation was there, and he didn't dare to make more trouble, so he was scolded by the middle-aged man for a few words, and then turned around and left.
"Dogs look at people with low eyes, brother, don't pay attention to them, these people are all so virtuous. You're coming to Tianhai City for the first time, right?" The middle-aged man spat at the waiter, and then said to Ning Zhe with a smile.
Ning Zhe raised his eyes to look at the middle-aged man, only to see that his hair was extremely greasy, and there were still a few strands hanging from his sideburns, and the Taoist robe on his body could no longer see his original appearance, and there was a faint stench.
Although he was a little disgusted, the other party helped him out of the siege after all, so Ning Zhe nodded with a smile and said, "That's right, how did you see it?"
"Hey, it's actually very simple, except for those disciples of the big sects, or the nobles of the Sea Clan, who else would come to eat in such a noble place. This shop is just a monk who has come here for the first time. Most of the monks who come and go here choose to rent a single room in the auction house for rest. The middle-aged man smiled and said slowly.
Ning Zhe suddenly realized, no wonder the business of this store is so good, it turns out that it is a high-end route, you must know that there will be no shortage of rich people at any time. The same is true in the cultivation realm, the disciples of those big sects will inevitably carry enough spirit stones with them when they go out to walk, and such a small cost is simply a lot of money for them.
And for the sea clan magnates in the Endless Sea, the Endless Sea under their rule is full of treasures, and countless sea tribes are enslaved, oppressed and exploited by a very small number of magnates, so these sea clan magnates are living an extremely luxurious and "lewd" life, and this cost is not worth mentioning for them.
After figuring out this, Ning Zhe suddenly regretted it, he glanced at the middle-aged man kindly, and just wanted to express his gratitude. But he didn't expect this middle-aged man to suddenly approach Ning Zhe, a trace of frenzy flashed on his face, and he lowered his voice and said: "This brother, I see that you are also a little short of money, I am willing to teach you a shortcut to get rich here, are you willing to learn?"
Seeing that Ning Zhe didn't react, the middle-aged man continued to agitate: "If you want to get rich, you must enter the Endless Sea, even if you are on the edge of the Endless Sea, you can sell some seafood at a reasonable price, and you will be rich one day." But the endless sea is extremely dangerous, I have the most authoritative and comprehensive chart here, do you want to have one, as long as fifty low-grade spirit stones can be obtained, good quality and low price, it is simply necessary to make a fortune, brother?"
Only then did Ning Zhe react, this middle-aged man was actually selling things to him, and he couldn't help but laugh in his heart. No wonder this person was unusually enthusiastic, it turned out that he wanted to extort some spirit stones from him. However, this man's heart is not bad, and if he wants to enter the Endless Sea, this chart is also a must.
Therefore, he nodded with a smile and said, "This fellow Daoist, I did this business!"
As he spoke, he casually threw a storage bag on the table, which contained exactly fifty lower-grade spirit stones. The middle-aged man picked up the storage bag and swept it with his divine sense, and his face was immediately overjoyed, knowing that ordinary monks would definitely bargain. Normally, it was already a high price for this chart to be sold for twenty spirit stones, but I didn't expect Ning Zhe to be so single, and it was sold directly. Thinking of this, he hurriedly put a jade slip on the table, and hurriedly said: "The sea chart is in this jade slip, please take a slow look!"
As he spoke, he got up and left in a hurry, Ning Zhe thought he was going to sell the next business, so he didn't care, just picked up the jade slip and looked at it......
After a long cup of tea, Ning Zhe put down the jade slip, shook his head with a wry smile, and crushed the jade slip into ashes with two fingers, and muttered in his mouth: "I didn't expect that I, Ning Zhe, would also be deceived by someone." ”
It turned out that this jade slip was indeed the chart of the Endless Sea, but it was only a chart within a thousand miles of Tianhai City. And the endless sea is boundless, and this thousands of miles of sea area can be said to have not gone out of the scope of the Western Continent, which is simply not helpful to Ning Zhe.
No wonder the middle-aged man left in a hurry after the transaction was completed, thinking that he was afraid that he would find the back account. However, Ning Zhe has always been open-minded, and there is not much anger in his heart at this time.
After such an incident, Ning Zhe naturally had no interest in dining, so he had to walk out of the inn, and at this time he found that the monks who entered and exited the inn were indeed gorgeously dressed and cultivated to advanced people, and the middle-aged man did not lie to him at this point.
After several inquiries, he finally came to the outside of Tianhai Auction, the most famous auction house in Tianhai City. As far as the eye can see, this Tianhai auction house covers an area of as many as 1,000 acres, and the auction hall is divided into three levels: sky, sea and earth, among which the heaven-level auction hall has the highest grade, but the number is also the least, only ten, followed by the sea level, there are 30, and the prefecture-level auction house has the lowest level, and the number is also the largest, there are as many as 100.
Here, the heaven-level auction is held once a month, the sea-level auction is held once every half month, and the prefecture-level auction is held almost every day, and there is an endless stream of monks who come here to participate in the auction, but most of them are sea clan monks, and the monks of the Western Continent are only a small part.
Ning Zhe stepped into it and spent thirty spirit stones to rent a single room for a ten-day period to rest. He had already found out just now, and in ten days, a heaven-level auction hall would open, and this was also the most recent heaven-level auction.
Although he didn't have many spirit stones on his body now, he knew in his heart that if he wanted to obtain valuable information and treasures, he still had to participate in high-level auctions, so he decided to use these ten days to catalyze the sale of some spirit grass in exchange for spirit stones to participate in the auction.
Thinking of this, he sat cross-legged on the couch, took out the white remaining low-grade spirit grass from the white "color" bone ring, and sacrificed the green "color" flute, and began to slowly catalyze......
