Chapter 92 Chapter 10 The Fair Begins
There is a strange insect lying in the ding, the size of a small thumb, the whole body is ice blue, and there are two antennae on the head, which looks cute, but it is motionless, and I don't know whether it is dead or alive.
This strange insect is naturally the ice jade silkworm left by the old monster, and after eating the Tianshan Holy Lotus that Zhao Ziming picked back from Tianyan Mansion that day, it fell into a deep sleep.
Later, in order to prevent loss, Zhao Ziming put it in the Qiankun bag together with Xiao Ding, if it wasn't for Zheng Lulu to ask, he almost forgot the existence of the ice jade silkworm.
Zheng Lulu's eyes widened again, "You actually kept strange insects in the Qiankun bag? Don't you know that living creatures cannot be stored in space equipment?"
Zhao Ziming was stunned and said, "Why can't you?"
Zheng Lulu looked at the ice jade silkworm with a distressed expression, "There is no reason, this is the rule of heaven and earth, as soon as any living creature enters the space equipment, it will die!"
Zhao Ziming stretched out two fingers and pinched the ice jade silkworm, condensed for a moment, and said, "It's still alive." ”
Zheng Lulu exclaimed, "Impossible!"
Zhao Ziming stretched out his hand, "See for yourself." ”
Zheng Lulu took the ice jade silkworm, and sure enough, she sensed the faint but indeed existing breath of life in its body, she wrinkled her brows and muttered, "How can this be?"
This question is naturally not something that Zheng Lulu can figure out now, and after thinking about it to no avail, she threw it aside, looked at the ice jade silkworm carefully, and then gave it back to Zhao Ziming, and said: "This strange insect is not the breed I want, but since it can survive in the space equipment, it means that it must be extraordinary, don't throw it in the Qiankun bag in the future, take care of it, and when it wakes up from its slumber, maybe it will give you a surprise." ”
Zhao Ziming put the ice jade silkworm back into Xiaoding, and then put Xiaoding into his arms, and said sincerely: "Thank you Miss Zheng for reminding me." ”
Zheng Lulu waved her hand, looked at Zhao Ziming with interest, and said, "What are your plans next? It's impossible to continue to be the guest elder of that bullshit god and witch country, right?"
Zhao Ziming was silent.
Zheng Lulu asked again, "Are you going to the City of Exile?"
Zhao Ziming nodded.
Zheng Lulu rolled her eyes, "From the city of exile to here, the way is very dangerous, these remote small countries hold a trade fair every few years, get together, in order to get the protection of the merchant house, follow the caravan to the city of exile, this girl is in charge, give you a place for free, how about it?"
Zhao Ziming looked into her eyes, "Is there a condition?"
Zheng Lulu snapped her fingers, "The conditions are very simple, you join my Blizzard Commercial Bank, with your strength, you should be a chief of guards, it should be no problem." ”
Zhao Ziming put away the heavy knife, "I'm not interested." After speaking, he bypassed Zheng Lulu and walked forward.
Zheng Lulu followed, "Hey, don't you know what to do, how many people sharpen their heads, work hard, and spend a lot of yuan stones to add it." ”
"My Blizzard Firm is the largest firm in the City of Exile, and we have the highest level of martial arts and exercises in the entire Exiled Land, as well as the best quality talismans and pills. ”
"Why are you like this? Didn't you just be sold once? You think that everyone in the world is the same as those wastes in the Witch Kingdom?"
"Wow wow wow, I'm!"
......
Arriving at the Shenwu State Guesthouse, Zheng Lulu was still talking about the benefits of joining the Blizzard Merchant House and the dangers of following the small merchant house to the City of Exile.
Zhao Ziming's footsteps stopped, turned around and said: "Miss Zheng's kindness, Zhao has it, but now I don't plan to join any forces for the time being, Miss Zheng doesn't need to persuade me anymore." ”
With that, he opened the door and entered the room, shutting it with his backhand.
Walking to the edge of the bed and sitting down, Zhao Ziming stroked Ning Xiaoyu's beautiful face, sighed softly, and was stunned for a while before coming back to his senses.
He simply cleaned up the house, picked up Ning Xiaoyu, and walked out of the room.
Zheng Lulu was still waiting outside, and when she saw him come out, she almost gritted her teeth and said, "What do you have to do to agree?"
Zhao Ziming's eyebrows sank, and he was about to continue refusing, when a thought suddenly flashed in his mind, and the words that came to his mouth suddenly changed, "I need the Soul Replenishing Pill, do you have one in your firm?"
"Soul Replenishing Pill?" Zheng Lulu was stunned for a moment, and then said: "This thing is rare and abnormal, and the effect is very simple, and no business bank will reserve it." ”
"Still. She changed her words, "If you are willing to join our firm and assist me in doing something in the future, I can help you get one, but I have to make it clear to you in advance, that thing is very dangerous, and if you don't get it right, your life is in danger." ”
Zhao Ziming asked, "How sure are you that you can get the Soul Replenishing Pill?"
Zheng Lulu said proudly: "In the entire exiled land, except for the alchemists who can refine the soul replenishing pill, no one should be more sure than me. ”
Zhao Ziming said: "You wanted me to join the firm in every possible way, so that I could assist you in doing that." ”
Zheng Lulu smiled, "I am lacking a companion with keen perception, the purpose of this trip is this, since I have found it, how can I let it go." ”
"And. She continued: "I am definitely willing to pay enough price for you, it just so happens that you need the Soul Replenishing Pill, we both take what we need, you do your best to help me, I promise to help you get the pill, how about it?"
Zhao Ziming glanced at her deeply, "Deal." ”
In the Places of Exile, including the City of Exile, there are thirty great cities, each of which has a territory under its jurisdiction and controls many kingdoms.
The southwest region is under the joint control of several large cities, of which the largest area is Yacheng, which ranks fourth. Every time the caravan participates in the fair, it comes from the big city that governs the land.
This time, there are some exceptions, in addition to the Cheng Comptoir on behalf of Yacheng and several other big city comptoirs, there is also a comptoir that is not in the local area - Blizzard Comptoir.
It stands to reason that this kind of profit-thinning outsiders will be strongly resisted and even suppressed by local trading houses, but until the opening of the trade fair, no trading house dared to attack Blizzard Commercial Bank, and even expressions of dissatisfaction were rare.
And the reason why this is so is because the backer behind Blizzard Commercial House is the city of exile.
As the first human city established in the Exiled Lands, the Exiled City has the deepest heritage, the most powerful army, and the other twenty-nine large cities around it are all built on it, without exception, and must pay a large amount of taxes every year.
And Blizzard Comptoir is the largest comptoir in Exiled City, and it has a lot to do with all the forces in the city, and this background alone is enough to run amok.
Of course, the strength of the personnel dispatched by Blizzard Commercial Bank this time is naturally enough to deal with this kind of scene, otherwise, no matter how famous the Commercial Bank is, it will not be able to be so fearless.
Wan Guo Fang, which is the place where the fair is held, is composed of three horizontal and three vertical six wide streets, and there are hundreds of shops in the market.
Merchants from all over the city often bought shops in the workshop, and those newly established caravans could buy shops from the country where the trade fair was held for only a sum of yuanshi.
The small half of the shops in the market are sold in this way, and the remaining half is temporarily rented by individual merchants.
Individual merchants are different from caravans, most of the former are simple in structure, loosely organized, sparse in members, small in the scale of transactions, and thin in profits.
This kind of large-scale trade fair is only opened once every three years, and once the time passes, the market will be closed, and for individual merchants, buying a shop here is neither the ability nor the need, and renting a shop for a short time is the best choice.
Early in the morning, Zhao Ziming left the residence of Blizzard Commercial Bank with Zheng Lulu and began to "Taobao" in Wanguofang.
According to Zheng Lulu, those shops that belong to the caravan in the Fang Market generally do not have any good things, that is, some common talismans and pills, and those individual merchants are likely to carry treasures in their hands.
Zhao Ziming thought about it, and probably understood the meaning, just like the antique market, it is difficult to buy good goods in the serious shop, but on the stalls that look tight, there are occasional rare treasures.
It all depends on the insight and vision of the buyer and the seller, and sometimes a little luck, if not all three, whether it is Taobao or deceived, but two things.
After shopping for a while, Zhao Ziming was not interested and prepared to go back to practice. There are a lot of Yuan Stones on him, but it is not much, even if he encounters good things, it is estimated that he will not be able to afford them.
Moreover, at present, he is not in a hurry to obtain something, the only thing he desperately wants is the Soul Replenishing Pill, and it is obviously impossible for this Pill to exist in this Fang City.
Miss Lulu said lightly: "Although your wife's poison can only be solved by the Soul Replenishing Pill, there are still several elixirs that can delay the onset of poison, if you are lucky, you may not be able to touch it, are you sure you won't go shopping?"
Zhao Ziming was stunned for a moment, and said, "Is this true?"
Ning Xiaoyu's detoxification time limit is only three months, and now more than half of it has passed, and every day of delay will be more dangerous, and he can't be in a hurry.
Miss Lulu snorted, turned around and walked into an alley with her hands behind her back, "I lied to you, you go back." ”
Zhao Ziming's eyebrows sank slightly, then he shook his head helplessly and followed.
Time flies, Zhao Ziming followed Zheng Lulu to visit only more than 20 shops, and in the afternoon, the sun set, and the night began to cover the world.
Coming out of a shop, Zheng Lulu stretched her waist and her face was full of joy. It's no wonder that her luck is really good today, she has found a lot of good things at a low price, and she can earn a lot of yuan stones as soon as she sells them.
Zhao Ziming stood next to her, no emotion could be seen on his calm face, but he had a little admiration for this girl in his heart, not to mention strength, just in terms of knowledge, he thought that he was far inferior.
In the previous Taobao process, no matter what strange things the merchants came up with, Zheng Lulu could mostly tell a rough idea, and the fakes were always seen through by her at a glance.
Of course, when she met a baby that the shopkeeper couldn't recognize, she pretended not to know, but just bought it with "interest", and as soon as she left the store, she showed off to Zhao Ziming with a smile what the treasure she had just bought and how many yuan she could earn.
Zhao Ziming didn't even have complete cultivation knowledge, as for the value of the Yuan Stone and various items that could be used in the innate realm, his eyes were even more black, and today he made up for it, even if he didn't encounter an elixir that could delay the onset of Soul Erosion Incense poison, it was not worth the trip.
