Chapter 5 Sea and Sky Delivery
Li Haocheng, who completed the transaction, left Haitian Yunge, and walked on the largest street in Fang City under the leadership of Yun Ge Xiaowu, and he found a very interesting phenomenon, that is, nine out of ten of the two sides of this Fang City are custom shops and some restaurants, and there are no shops selling books and materials.
Moreover, there is a special passage carved with formation patterns in the center of Fangshi Avenue, as early as when Chen Xingchen came in, he was a little curious about what this passage was for, and with his gaze, he could easily see the effect of these formations, not to bless the Fangshi Guardian Formation, the effect should be acceleration and levitation.
It just so happened that when the little guy was leading the way, Li Haocheng saw a figure quickly passing over the passage, and asked: "Is that passage specially opened up by your Fang Market in the East China Sea to facilitate the monks?"
"No!" In response to Li Haocheng's inquiry, the little guy shook his head in denial, and then said with some pride: "That's our Haitian Cloud Pavilion special delivery service." ”
"Delivery?" The familiar name made Li Haocheng a little funny, and he half-joked: "Your so-called delivery won't be to let people stay in one place, choose what needs to be purchased with magic weapons, and then have your people from Haitian Cloud Pavilion deliver it to them!"
"You know the real person!" The little guy was a little surprised, and then nodded and said: "As the real person said, in the Haiyun Immortal Palace, which our Haitian Cloud Pavilion specially provides for monks, there is a jade plate that records ninety percent of the materials in Fang City, and all the internal materials of the store that have a contract with our Cloud Pavilion will be updated synchronously, so all the low-level elixir materials, you can stay in the Immortal Palace and buy them, and our Yun Pavilion delivery staff will go to help you pick up the goods." ”
The familiar routine made Li Haocheng couldn't help but ask more: "Aren't you afraid of making mistakes?"
"How could it be wrong? Not to mention the materials delivered, they will first pass through the eyes of the appraisers who stayed in the Asgard Palace. Even if something goes wrong, the jade plate in the fairy palace itself is the subjugation of a magic weapon, and the body of the magic weapon and the Fang City Guardian Circle are connected to each other, which can monitor each purchase in real time, and it is easy to find the problem, and the responsibility is clear. ”
"Of course, like medium and high-grade materials, because the identification takes more time, so Asgard generally does not support delivery, if you have to send it, you need to pay an additional identification fee. Xiao Wu said, thinking of Li Haocheng's preparation to buy books, and hurriedly added: "Also, to buy things like books, it is best to buy them in the bookstore in person, you also know that the books sold in the bookstore usually do not involve Xuanwen and etching, and our monk swept over at a glance, and the content of most of the books has been read." And some casual cultivators who don't have money, in order to rub a little more books to read, will choose the cheapest room in the Asgard Palace, and while practicing, they will flip through the free content of those books, so the content of the books in the Asgard Jade Board that can be read for free is only about 30% of the free reading allowed in the bookstore, and there are far more hidden about the core content than in the bookstore. ”
Li Haocheng nodded in understanding, and followed the little guy to a shop specializing in selling books and exercises.
This shop occupies a small area, but it uses the space to the limit, but there are nearly 100 jade bookshelves inside.
In addition to the three rows neatly placed in the center, the rest of the large and small bookshelves are either inlaid on the wall, or decorated by design, and even have a bookshelf directly instead of the ceiling, because these bookshelves are crystal clear and dust-free, and they also exude a faint spiritual light, such a layout is not ugly, and the jade slips placed on it are sealed by the law, but there is no need to worry that they will fall out.
"It looks like a lot. Li Hao glanced at the structure of the bookstore, and after giving the guard at the gate ten drops of standard jade dew as an entrance fee, he walked in and began to flip through one book after another.
Of course, this is a place to sell books after all, and these jade slips burn the forbidden laws associated with the defensive magic circle of the entire book house, covering some of the core contents, even with Li Haocheng's current cultivation, it is difficult to peek at the hidden content without touching the magic circle.
"It's kind of interesting!" casually glanced at the contents marked on the side of the bookshelf, this bookstore's collection can also be called all-encompassing, from Taoist calligraphy, to the notes of predecessors, from ancient secrets, to travelogue prose, if you just look at the quantity, it may not be worse than the average small and medium-sized immortal Taoist sect.
If you look at the quality, the content recorded in these jade slips is much inferior to the Xianmen collection.
The largest number are secret anecdotes, travelogues, and spells, and there are very few jade slips about exercises and the hundred arts of cultivation, less than one percent of the whole.
After all, the Fa cannot be passed on lightly, and among the four necessary conditions for cultivation, a systematic system of Gongfa texts has always been the top priority of a sect. The exercises that are circulating in the market are either fragmentary and unsystematic things that are perceived by individuals, or they are very simple types of basic exercises that are very difficult to cultivate into the ghost fairyland.
However, Li Hao himself didn't think of picking out any top-level exercises in this bookstore, what he was looking for was originally secrets and techniques with the characteristics of the East China Sea, in addition, the exposition of the Heavenly Dao by his predecessors, the study of all things in heaven and earth by his predecessors, and some things that were biased towards the philosophy department were also within the scope of his search.
Because these things are biased towards theory, and there is no possibility for people to obtain extraordinary powers, many casual cultivators are also happy to cooperate with those firms, and at the same time benefit the juniors, they can also reap a lot of rewards.
It's kind of interesting. Li Haocheng picked out a theory about the five elements of yin and yang from the jade slip, this person's point of view is very interesting, from the content that can be watched, he and Li Haocheng's mode of thinking is somewhat similar, but the starting point and derivative direction are completely different, can be regarded as a supplement to Li Haocheng's Taixu Vientiane system.
Then he picked out four more representative ones from the spells and Dao techniques he had just seen, and put them in his hand together with this jade slip.
When leaving the bookstore, the guards returned five drops of gyokuro, which is a tradition in Jiuzhou to prevent people from coming to the bookstore to read white books, and it is usually necessary to pay five to twenty drops of gyokuro as a deposit before entering the bookstore, and then refund part of the deposit according to the number of books you read in the bookstore and the cost of buying books.
The part that is not returned is regarded as the energy consumption in the process of maintaining and reading the jade slip.
Li Haocheng took the Yulu and casually threw it to the little guy in Yuntian Haige as a tip, and under his leadership, he visited the rest of the bookstores in Fang City.
I have to say that the forces behind these bookstores are very good at operating, each bookstore has its own decoration style, and the content of the books is still very tacit after overlapping eighty percent, each retains two percent of the characteristics, if this one is biased towards the theory of yin and yang and the five elements, then this one specializes in ancient secrets (ba) Wen (gua), and the remaining one is a variety of geographical advantages and humanities, which makes Li Haocheng every time he enters a store, he can have a little freshness.
Therefore, by the time Li Haocheng walked out of the last bookstore recommended by the Yunge Guy, he had already bought more than twenty jade slips.
"Real person, where are you going next?" Because when leaving Haitian Cloud Pavilion, Li Haocheng just said that he needed to collect some books, and after all the bookstores in Fang City were visited, the little guy just opened his mouth to ask Li Haocheng about his next trip.
"Let's go to the Sea Eevace Palace! I'm a little interested in your so-called delivery service. Li Haocheng looked at the formation pattern in the center of the road, a trace of smile flowed in his eyes, while shopping just now, he had completely analyzed these formation patterns engraved on the ground, and the approximate operation system was already in his heart, and now as long as he looked at the jade plate again, he could basically copy a set of exactly the same thing.
