Chapter 69: The North
In the inner hall of the City Lord's Mansion, Master Lingyuan leaned on the Taishi's chair, holding a yellowed ancient book with yellowed pages in both hands and studying it painstakingly, and behind him there were two maids in the Qi refining period who looked like flowers and moons poured tea and water for him.
A red makeup in a pale red gauze skirt bypassed the wide landscape screen and came to the Venerable Lingyuan, and said softly:
"Lord of the Castle. ”
Venerable Lingyuan looked up and saw that the red makeup was coming, so he immediately put the ancient book in his hand into the storage bag and asked:
"What did he say?"
There was no clear answer, just an expression of gratitude. ”
Venerable Lingyuan nodded when he heard this, and his face did not show any emotion. After a moment of silence, he stretched out his hand and motioned for the red makeup to come forward, and pinched the slender jade hand of the red makeup very gently.
Red Makeup was taken aback by the sudden action of the Venerable Lingyuan, who was originally flamboyant and outgoing, but at this time her cheeks were blushing, and her eyebrows were lowered and her eyes were pitiful.
"It's been a hard time. ”
Master Lingyuan gently rubbed his jade hand with smooth red makeup and said softly.
Hearing this, Hongxiang shook his head slightly, and the deer collided in his heart for a while.
Tang Mian left the City Lord's Mansion with the Four Spirit Shields, he didn't care about the Lingyuan Master's wooing, if he could really succeed in building the foundation, how could he trap himself in the small area of the Three Counties, and from the beginning, this City Lord failed to leave a good impression on him.
The Wantong Chamber of Commerce was as crowded as ever, and when Tang Mian stepped in, Xiao Er stepped forward to greet him attentively.
"Lord Deacon!"
Tang Mian is an old customer here, whether it is hiding his identity or directly assuming the name of a deacon, he has conducted many transactions with this chamber of commerce, including some materials of the Golden Earth Formation.
The exchange meeting during the foundation building period that Mi Zhen took Tang Mian to two years ago was also secretly organized by the Wantong Chamber of Commerce, and another piece of gold soil array refined by Tang Mian was exchanged for the short old man who had the cultivation in the late stage of foundation building, and thus obtained the "Vermilion Bird Heart Sutra".
According to Mi Zhen, that short old man is a high-ranking deacon of the Wantong Chamber of Commerce, and he collects treasures in various regions of the Zhao Kingdom for the Wantong Chamber of Commerce on weekdays, so he will not be stationed in the three counties.
The Wantong Chamber of Commerce in Lingyuan City basically only serves the monks of the Qi Refining Period and the Foundation Building Period, and from all aspects, it is inextricably linked with the City Lord's Mansion.
Tang Mian, the deacon, naturally would not be the second child to receive him when he arrived, and the shopkeeper Lu greeted him with a smile and politely greeted him:
"Tang Daoyou is here, and the little old man is far away. ”
Tang Mian smiled and waved his hand, and followed Shopkeeper Lu to the attic under the reverent gaze of everyone in the store.
Now that the power of the City Lord's Mansion is expanding, it seems to have become one of the overlords of the three counties, and because the City Lord's Mansion itself is a loose cultivation organization, it is far more tolerant and open than the power of the sect, and many of the scattered cultivators in the three counties have become famous one after another.
"The Lingyuan Conference is about to be held, and there are a lot of good things in the store, do you want to taste it?"
Shopkeeper Lu turned sideways and let Tang Mian into the room, smiling all over his face.
"Next time, I'm here to do something. ”
As soon as Tang Mian sat down, a waiter next to him brought a spiritual tea with a moderate temperature.
Hearing this, Shopkeeper Lu bowed his head slightly and said:
"Little Lao'er will definitely give Daoyou a satisfactory price. ”
Tang Mian bowed slightly, his sleeve robe swept lightly on the table of the Eight Immortals, and after a flash of inspiration, nearly ten storage bags with similar formats appeared on the table, and some of the storage bags still had a little blood stains on them.
Rao is shopkeeper Lu was also taken aback by the number of storage bags in front of him, and with the well-informed knowledge of the Wantong Chamber of Commerce, of course he knew that Tang Mian was killing all sides on the battlefield, and the storage bags that appeared in front of him were probably all trophies that belonged to him.
It is difficult for the shopkeeper Lu to put the kind and sunny Tang Mian with these bloodstained storage bags, but this is the case, this is the law of survival in the cultivation realm.
"Call a few people over and help with the count!"
Shopkeeper Lu instructed the waiter on the side.
The efficiency of the Wantong Chamber of Commerce is very high, and it takes less than a cup of tea to clean up Tang Mian's things, and the price is given.
"Ninety medium-grade spirit stones, Tang Daoyou is still satisfied?"
Shopkeeper Lu swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and put aside the identity of the shopkeeper, he was just a twelveth-layer Qi refining stage cultivator who failed to build a foundation, and these spirit stones were simply astronomical to him.
Tang Mian pondered for a moment and then nodded slightly, this number had exceeded his expectations.
"By the way, I have a list of materials here, I don't know if the Wantong Chamber of Commerce has the whereabouts of these things?"
Tang Mian calmly handed over the list of materials to Shopkeeper Lu, and Shopkeeper Lu solemnly took it over and examined it carefully.
There were only four materials recorded on the list, and the form and year of the materials were described in detail, and Shopkeeper Lu frowned as he inspected them.
"Let Tang Daoyou smile, there are three of these four materials that are unheard of, only this Nine Turns Spirit Wood has heard of, and it seems to be an excellent material for making a large array of flags. ”
"Oh, so the Wantong Chamber of Commerce has this material?"
Tang Mian raised his eyebrows, he originally thought that the other party would ask three questions.
"I don't know much about this old thing, this thing is precious and abnormal, and its value is beyond the information authority of the old man. ”
Shopkeeper Lu replied with some embarrassment.
Tang Mian nodded, his face was still calm, he didn't expect to be able to gather the materials of the small gathering spirit array in Lingyuan City.
After handing over the spirit stone, Tang Mian stood up and prepared to leave, and Shopkeeper Lu respectfully sent Tang Mian to the door of the Chamber of Commerce, reminding:
"These materials that Tang Daoyou needs are not ordinary, even if the Chamber of Commerce has them, they will not be easily sold, if Daoyou really needs them, you can go north. ”
Tang Mian bowed slightly, thanked the shopkeeper Lu for his kindness, and left.
Back at the One Hundred and Third Cave Mansion, Tang Mian sat in the practice room, with two high-grade spirit stones and dozens of medium-grade spirit stones randomly placed in front of him, which were all his current net worth.
He had already gathered two of the six materials needed for the small spirit gathering array, among which the stone aperture spirit liquid was exchanged for a high-grade spirit stone, and the spirit beast skin was given to him by the old man Zhou Cheng, and he only paid a small price for the scales of the golden scale ring snake. The former is only an auxiliary material for refining the small gathering spirit array, while the latter is the most important core material, it can be said that Old Man Zhou has solved most of the trouble for him to collect materials, but the remaining four materials are still expensive, I am afraid it is not realistic to rely on spirit stones alone to buy.
Tang Mian casually withdrew the spirit stone in front of him, and then placed the chalcedony pill he got from Chen Li on the table.
"North, after the foundation is built. ”
