Wang Changsheng successively found many "leaders" and arranged for one to purchase green hemp vines at the entrances of each city gate. Wang Changsheng himself came to the north gate, took out a hundred yuan stones and a storage bag and put them on the ground, and wrote: "Buy green hemp vines, cut off two yuan stones in five, and take them for yourself." ”

Yin said: "Shangxian, it's better to let me ······"

Wang Changsheng said: "No need. The law of the near demon city is extremely strict, and if someone openly does something to rob and steal within the city area, the formation in the city will punish him. "But how can you rest assured that you're staring at it all the time!

One stone stirred up a thousand waves, and the monks who heard that someone bought the green hemp vine at a high price reacted very violently, but it was really very rare. Yin Sha couldn't help but say anxiously: "Shangxian, how come the price is so high, these vine-picking monks are not for sale?"

Wang Changsheng replied: "When this happens, most of the monks still want to wait and see, hoping that someone with a higher bid will appear. Don't worry, someone will come after all, you can practice with peace of mind. After Wang Changsheng finished speaking, he closed his eyes and meditated up peacefully.

Not long after, an old Taoist with white hair came to Wang Changsheng and took ten yuan stones from Wang Changsheng, but did not leave a single piece of green hemp vine. In this scene, Wang Changsheng seemed to be unaware of it, and kept meditating with his eyes closed and his knees crossed.

But he said that after the old monk left, he didn't work much and came back, but he had an extra pot of wine in his hand. Sitting cross-legged beside Wang Changsheng, the old Taoist drank the wine in the pot with taste. After about a cup of tea, the man drank the wine in the pot, and then took ten yuan stones from Wang Changsheng's side. When he came back, he had another pot of wine in his hand, and so on.

At this time, Wang Changsheng opened his eyes, as if he had been familiar with the Taoist for a long time, and said, "Old Immortal, did I break the rules and violate the law by buying green hemp vines here?"

The man took a sip of wine and said, "It has never been bad." ”

Wang Changsheng closed his eyes again and meditated, as if nothing had happened.

The Taoist carefully took a few sips of wine, and said to himself: "This wine near the Demon City is very good, but it is always unstable to drink. ”

Hearing this, Wang Changsheng opened his eyes again and said, "The old immortal is a person from my Dao Sect and has reached such an age, I don't know what else in the world can disturb your mind?"

The Taoist took a sip of wine and said, "I want to say that this matter has a lot to do with you." If you buy green hemp vines here at a high price, aren't you afraid that those people in the city will make trouble for you?"

Wang Changsheng gave a salute and said, "Thank you, old immortal." I've read the Near Magic Book and the Near Demon Decree in the city, and those people wouldn't do anything that hindered free trade if they wanted to stay in the city. ”

The Taoist nodded and shook his head, and said, "Looking at your calm and relaxed appearance, I'm afraid it's not just that! Wang Changsheng did not deny it.

The Taoist continued, "I think your plan is to take advantage of this and take all the green hemp vines into your own hands. So those rune paper shops have no skills and no materials, and when they find you, you can ask for cooperation or make a profit. Wang Changsheng was noncommittal, just smiled and didn't speak.

The Taoist looked at it and said, "It seems that you are very confident." But I'm going to pour some cold water on you, and you're doomed to fail! ”

The Taoist was not shocking and endless, but Wang Changsheng was still calm and did not have the slightest discoloration, and said: "There are still some yuan stones left here, since the wine in the city is good, I will give it to the old immortal to buy wine." ”

The Taoist nodded, and said: "In the history of the Demon City, there are not people who have not adopted this method, and even some powerful people who want to share the profits with the Fu Gong shop in the city have been competing for green hemp vines at high prices for nearly a thousand years. However, this did not make a few talisman shops give in, on the contrary, these people also lost a lot.

Why is this? It is only because the businessmen are pursuing profits, but they are chasing profits, but they are not green linen vines. If you cut off other people's raw materials, they will increase the price of the existing rune paper in their hands, so that the yuan stones earned will not only not decrease, but also save a lot of trouble.

Originally, they were bound by the "Near Magic Codex" and the "Near Demon Order", and although their selling prices were higher, they were not too out of line after all. If the shortage of raw materials leads to an increase in costs, there is no reason for anyone not to let people increase prices.

At that time, the price of alcohol will soar, and it will inevitably affect all fields, and the price of this wine will naturally be unstable for me. Moreover, market fluctuations will inevitably affect the development of the city, and the old drunkard of the city lord will have to worry about headaches.

Don't look at the monks in the city who are now happy to hear about your purchase of green hemp vines, but they will still be angry at you on the day when the price of the talisman soars, but I am afraid that no matter how big this near the demon city is, there is no place for you. ”

The Taoist said that the matter was so serious, but Wang Changsheng listened to it very calmly, and said: "The words of the old immortal are all recorded in the history of the city, I don't know if there are other words to teach me?"

The Taoist was a little surprised and faintly excited when he heard this, and said, "Have you already read the history of the city?"

Wang Changsheng said: "I don't know why this history of the Demon City is the most expensive classic book in the classic book shop. After speaking, Wang Changsheng glanced at the Taoist with great meaning, but he didn't see the slightest abnormality.

So he continued: "The old immortal said a few words about the disadvantages of my acquisition here, and I also have a few good words here to listen to the old immortal." In my opinion, the key to restricting the development of the city is that the gap between the rich and the poor is too large, and the vast number of ordinary monks who can promote the development of the city have too few resources at their disposal.

If I buy it here, I will eventually be able to attract the purchase price of green hemp vine from now on, and ordinary monks will get the yuan stone will drive consumption to promote the development of the city, and it will be a different scene when I think of the near magic city at that time.

If I don't have the ability, I say I do. If it is said that it will be done, I dare not guarantee it. The old immortal is a senior in cultivation, and if he thinks that I don't have this ability, I really have to turn around and go back to the city. ”

The Taoist listened to Wang Changsheng's words and drank all the wine in the pot, and said, "If this is really the case, the old Taoist will never drink your wine in vain." With just one sentence, the Taoist was about to turn around and leave.

When Wang Changsheng heard this, he stopped the Taoist after a little thought, and said, "Old Immortal, I'm just afraid that they should just raise the price, but they won't comply with it afterwards." ”

The Taoist thought for a moment and said, "If you can make them make a promise under the magic circle in the city, I am not afraid that they will regret it." Naturally, the fair trade of the city lord cannot touch them, if there is no faith in breaking the promise, the old drunkard of the city lord is not a good person. ”

When the Taoist walked away, Yin Sha suddenly came over in a very anxious voice, and said, "Why did the Immortal suddenly stop talking to himself just now? No matter how I called you, you didn't react, as if you couldn't hear my call at all. ”

Wang Changsheng was slightly different when he heard this, and said, "Yin Shah, did you see a Taoist with white hair just now?"

Yin Sha looked around casually again and was about to reply, but before the words came out, he suddenly screamed "oops". Without waiting for Wang Changsheng to ask, the yin man was busy looking around with his ghost eyes, and he said anxiously: "Where is the thief, he dares to steal this king, ah no, he dares to steal the Yuan Stone of my family's immortals!"

Wang Changsheng only said What is the matter, it turned out that this yin demon noticed that the hundred yuan stones on the ground were gone. Wang Changsheng pressed the restless and wanted to fly out of the yin evil of the Fu Ghost Hu, and told the story of the past. Yin Sha then quieted down and said, "I really haven't seen any 'Taoist with white hair'. It can't be that the gangsters in the city have used some evil illusions, right? I'm afraid they won't give up and will come again!"

Wang Changsheng said: "It was indeed difficult to ensure that they would not come to disturb before, but now they are safe. ”

A few days later, another person came in front of Wang Changsheng's booth, but it was Mo Hailong, who had already advanced to the Great Perfection of the Yuan Refining Stage at this time. After the two said hello, Mo Hailong saw the words written by Wang Changsheng on the ground, but he didn't say much, but said something else, saying: "Wang Daoyou mentioned that he wanted to participate in the spirit and demon trial before, and now that the auction is about to be held, Mo Mou is here for this matter. ”

Wang Changsheng said: "Thank you Mo Daoyou for reminding me." Wang had already thought clearly, and he was going to participate in the spirit and demon trial. ”

Mo Hailong didn't say much, but said: "Tomorrow morning, Daoist friends can come to my cave to find me." ”

The next day, King Tianming Changsheng arrived as promised, and the two went to the auction together. The auction is not for everyone to enter, a Dzogchen monk like Mo Hailong needs to pay a deposit of 100 yuan stones, and Wang Changsheng even paid 300 yuan due to lack of cultivation. Once the two of them had entered the room, found a seat and sat down, the auction began. It was not easy to enter the path of cultivation, so there were few monks, and it was the first time that Wang Changsheng had seen thousands of monks gathered together.

A calm middle-aged monk on the auction table took out a bright yellow talisman and introduced, "This is a demon talisman of the Demon Realm, which can summon a demon beast of the Refining Yuan Stage to help fight. Cultivators in the Yuan Refining Stage who need to participate in the trial are exchanged for a head of a Dianwei Clan monk plus ninety-seven Yuan Stones. Some of the monks in the field are participating in the auction for the first time, so here is a few more explanations, and the head I am talking about must be the head of a monk of the Dian Tail clan who was killed during the trial. ”

Unexpectedly, after the monk finished speaking, he was a little cold, and the thousands of monks in the room were all interested.

Wang Changsheng secretly transmitted his voice to Mo Hailong and said, "Mo Daoyou, could it be that the items in this auction are all the heads of monks who need to be ordered?"

Mo Hailong replied: "No, no, there are also lots that can be auctioned purely with yuan stones. These skull-worthy items are of excellent quality, but they are usually only sold by the most confident disciples of the upper sects. Even if Wang Daoyou has something he really likes, try not to make a move, because if he can't complete the task that should be placed at the auction, not only will all the gains from participating in the trial be confiscated, but he will also be imprisoned in the Demon Prison. ”

At this time, a voice came out of nowhere: "I don't know that this talisman is the Baimo Essence Yuan Talisman of the Demon Realm Baimo Clan, if so, I can move it." The middle-aged auctioneer nodded, and seeing that there was indeed no one to bid, he dropped the hammer and closed the deal. Until the end of the transaction, no one had photographed the item.

I don't know what other treasures are in the auction, so let's see how to break it down next time.
