Hongmeng Continent, the boundary of nine continents.

Since the Terran era, there have been all kinds of shops from continents to small towns. Among them, the shops that deal in cultivating spiritual materials are the most important and the most numerous. However, from ancient times to the present, there has been no big business that has unified the Jiuzhou Chamber of Commerce. Therefore, the largest shops in Jiuzhou are only in a certain continent, and no shop has ever left that continent.

These big shops have always been controlled by the strongest forces in the continent. For example, the two largest chambers of commerce in Xuanzhou, namely Lingxiao Hall in Qianzhou and Biyou Pavilion in Zaizhou, have always been firmly controlled by Chengmingzong. The amount of spiritual materials that these two chambers of commerce earn every day is counted in millions of pieces, and there are a lot of heavenly and earthly treasures, which are extremely rich in supporting the Chengming Sect of the Jiuzhou Giant Sect. There are also small chambers of commerce that are not counted, which should not be underestimated.

White clouds and dogs, the reincarnation of the sun and the moon. The Hongmeng continent, the changing wind and clouds, recalling the past eventful years, are all grinding into the axis of time.

This year is the eighth spring of Yue Chen's worship in Chengmingzong.

This day is the most important day since the founding of the Chengming sect.

On this day of the year, dozens of the most powerful sects and clans in the Hongmeng Continent all received a heavy gift. The most important thing in the ritual is not those spiritual materials that are almost extinct, but a statement letter. The people who received this letter were all the great people who stood at the pinnacle of the human race's cultivation on the Hongmeng Continent, and they all chose to remain silent.

Because, even they feel that this seemingly new "Antiy Chamber of Commerce" has actually existed all along, but no one knows about its existence.

It is said that in just one night, two high-rise buildings of 9,900 floors appeared out of thin air in two deep mountains in the two prefectures of Mu and Gong in Yuanzhou, and in addition, countless shops appeared out of thin air in the large and small states and towns in the Hongmeng Continent. The two high-rise buildings are the locations of the two main altars of the Antiy Chamber of Commerce, and the countless shops are the countless doors of the Antiy Chamber of Commerce.

The Antiy Chamber of Commerce only took one night to achieve absolute control over the spiritual materials in the Hongmeng Continent. When the door opened the next day, seven or eight out of ten spiritual materials in the Nine Continents poured into its door. What followed was the closure of various other small shops, and even the shops that had been operated by the Haopaiwang clan for more than 10,000 years were also significantly affected.

In the blink of an eye, a whole month of time flashed by. There was still no dissent from any of the forces in Jiuzhou, and it seemed that all the forces were helpless in the face of this behemoth. And in this month, the powerful forces are adjusting their operations and beginning to adapt to this huge impact.

In just one month, the Antiy Chamber of Commerce was famous in Jiuzhou, and coexisted peacefully with other shops. The powerful power hidden behind it gives the world a faint feeling, and I am afraid that even the righteous faction led by Maha Hall and others, the evil sect led by the Great Sun Immortal Sect and others, and the Shijiawang clan headed by the Seven Great Families of Yuanzhou will be difficult to compete with it.

If there is anyone in the world today who does not know the appearance of the Antiy Chamber of Commerce, then this person must be Yue Chen.

Yue Chen chose the way of alchemy, but because of his poor talent, he could only refine one at a time, which became a joke within the Chengming Sect for a while. And from that day on, Yue Chen had to give up this one temporarily, and then sink down to refine the talisman, and at the same time, seriously practice the sword technique. Therefore, he has never stepped out of the Tiangong platform for half a step.

On this day, Yue Chen stood in front of the Heavenly Coffin of Creation, staring at those demon pills, and the top-grade spiritual materials on the fifth-order and above demon beasts in a daze. At this moment, he also knew very well that he could definitely not be regarded as a "poor person" who lacked spiritual materials, but he was no different from a poor person. Because he really didn't know what kind of calamity he would bring to himself when these spiritual materials appeared.

Therefore, after Yue Chen made thousands of choices, he took out a fourth-order and fifth-order demon pill respectively, and took out more than 3,000 Hyun Crystals from the high-level Ruyi bag given by Senior Brother Chu, and put them into his Ruyi bag. As for the number of Hyun Crystals in that high-grade Ruyi bag, there were only about five thousand in total, and there were less than two thousand left at once. Yue Chen suddenly felt that he was very poor.

Yue Chen made a list of the spiritual pills he needed to buy one by one, and then he went out satisfied, and walked straight towards Jiangzhou. After all, Jiangzhou belongs to the scope of Taiqing's inspection, and there will be a lot less trouble.

Along the way, first driving a talisman, leaving the Heavenly Killing Peak far away to a secluded place, Yue Chen slowly took out the Golden Crow Sword. The sword was not unsheathed, and the aura on the black and translucent scabbard flowed, and the sword intent was full. Yue Chen pinched the trick in his right hand and injected his divine consciousness and mental power into the Golden Crow Sword. Suddenly, his body floated slightly, accompanied by a jet-black sword light sliding out of the sky, and purple qi faintly flashed in the jet-black and bright sword ray.

Half an hour later, this sword light quietly fell on the outskirts of Jiangzhou. After Yue Chen appeared, he poured out a spirit pill from the Ruyi bag, reached out and wiped the beads of sweat on his forehead, and said to himself: "The flying of the imperial sword actually consumes the spiritual power of the Jade Mansion so much. However, this speed is ......!" suddenly shook his head again, walked towards the small lonely city, and said in his heart: "No wonder the spiritual materials of Jiuzhou, eight or nine out of ten belong to the big factions of the wealthy families of all parties." It seems that being able to travel through the nine continents in the shortest time is probably a very key reason. ”

After entering the small lonely city, Yue Chen walked around, looking at the shops and pavilions on both sides of the road from time to time. Occasionally, I heard people who walked by talking about the Antiy Chamber of Commerce, and said, "What Antiy Chamber of Commerce? Even if it is a small new Chamber of Commerce, as for you to discuss it like this?"

Looking up at both sides of the road, I saw a listless middle-aged man wandering on the side of the road. Yue Chen stepped forward politely, clasped his fists, and asked, "May I ask this brother, how does the Antiy Chamber of Commerce in the small lonely city move?"

The middle-aged man's eyes narrowed slightly, glanced at the young man in front of him, suddenly sneezed, looked at the sky with his eyes, and felt that the clouds in the sky were particularly beautiful.

"Haha......!" Yue Chen laughed loudly, and said in his heart: "How can I forget this 'rule'? When I was a child, I didn't do less such things!"

"Little brother, count yourself in the open. The middle-aged man was not polite, and after taking Hyun Jing, he said lightly: "It's nothing to do." For the sake of this Hyun Jing, taking you on a trip is cheaper for you. ”

"Thank you, brother!"

The two crossed a long street one after the other, turning three blocks in a row. After entering the fifth alley, the middle-aged man smiled strangely and said, "If you enter the ghost gate, don't want to get out alive." If you hand over the wishful bag, you may still die a happy death. However, when he finished speaking, he found that no one answered. When I looked back, there was someone behind me.

The middle-aged man stomped his foot violently and said angrily: "When did this little bastard leave?My ecstasy crisp bone incense is useless to him?" shook his head alone and said: "Thanks to this guy's not deeply involved, if he really wants to deal with me, how can I fight against him with my sevenfold cultivation in the Hundred Cultivation Realm?"

After the middle-aged man left the alley, a figure appeared on the high wall, and this person was naturally Yue Chen. Yue Chen also kept shaking his head and sighing, but he didn't stop for long, returned the same way, and entered the avenue connected by the second street.

After looking for a short time, a golden door plaque was engraved with four big characters: "Antiy Chamber of Commerce". This shop is a small three-storey building, and just looking at the exterior decoration, the luxury from the inside to the outside is fully displayed. The surrounding buildings are overshadowed.

This was Yue Chen's first time coming to the shop, so he was inevitably a little nervous. However, when he came to the door of this chamber of commerce, he was stunned when he heard a bargaining voice. After a moment's hesitation, he stepped into the shop.

The large shop station hall was full of monks of all kinds, and there were only eight men at the counter, who were quickly calculating and trading. A guy with a loud voice will occasionally shout "next".

For Yue Chen, one of these eight people can be said to be very familiar. Because he is indeed Zhong Zhen.

Zhong Zhen also seemed to sense that someone was looking at him, and he couldn't help but look up at the monks who had come over, and suddenly his eyes stopped, and a strange smile appeared on his face. I saw him put down the spiritual materials in his hand with a big grin, and said loudly: "Please let me go, which brother should I invite over first." ”

Which of the young monks who was trading with him immediately jumped up and said loudly: "You bargained with me just now, and now you have left me aside, do you want to clearly bully people?"

Zhong Zhen grinned and said in a deep voice, "How does the Venerable family think that compared to the personal disciple of Chengming Sect?" His words made all the eyes in the shop turn to Yue Chen. Yue Chen suddenly felt extremely unnatural, an inexplicable discomfort. However, the Chengming robe he was wearing was indeed a bit of an eyesore.

An old voice in the crowd said: "Look at this robe, it should be the inheritor of the talisman of the Taiqing lineage of the Chengming Sect." ”

"Oh, if that's the case, Na Haojing is one of the eight people in the world,......!"

"This brother, isn't Haoxian Zhenren one of the eight people who are publicly discussed?"

There was a discussion in the crowd, Zhong Zhen just looked at Yue Chen with a strange look and beckoned to Yue Chen. And the monks who came seemed to be out of respect for the great truths of the Heavenly Killing Peak, and took the initiative to give way to a way. Yue Chen stepped forward slowly and said in a low voice, "Brother Zhong, why do you say that, why did you come here?"

"Haha! Brother Yue, how did you become a person?" Zhong Zhen stroked his palms and laughed, and said, "Brother Yue, this is the territory of the Chengming Sect, why are you nervous? I think you must be the first time to know about the existence of the Antiy Chamber of Commerce." Besides, when you see me, you should have thought who drove it, right? ”

Without waiting for Yue Chen to reply, a middle-aged man with thick eyebrows and a sharp face walked over the counter and said in a deep voice: "Senior Brother Zhong, although you are the apprentice of one of the four elders, no matter what your relationship is with this honored guest, please don't say more about things that have nothing to do with buying and selling spiritual materials." ”

Yue Chen also knew that this was not a place to chat, and there were many opportunities to ask for clarification in the future, so he said: "Shopkeeper Zhong, please account for the people who came before me, and then give me an account." ”

Zhong Zhen shrugged his shoulders, and whispered in his ear: "I'm not the shopkeeper yet, the eight of us are competing!"

Yue Chen smiled helplessly, and retreated behind everyone. Zhong Zhen no longer bargained carefully, quickly calculated, and the other seven people were also the same, and soon sent away the hundreds of monks who came one by one.

Yue Chen stepped forward and handed his list to Zhong Zhen, Zhong Zhen just glanced at it and sighed, "Brother Yue, why do you want all these first-grade spiritual materials? ”

Which middle-aged man just now: "This is the spiritual material for refining Yangyuan Dan and Qing Yuan Dan, two ordinary Bigu Dan, there is nothing strange." Senior Brother Zhong, hurry up and prepare this brother-in-law. ”

Zhong Zhen let out an "oh" and said, "Brother Yue, you wait a while, I'll go to the back hall to install it for you." As he spoke, he walked briskly towards the back hall, and it took about two quarters of an hour to get out of the back hall. Laying out the spiritual materials that Yue Chen needed one by one, he said, "Counting a small number of rune papers and spirit pills, a total of two thousand eight hundred and ten Jing Jing are worth. ”

In the face of such a detailed accounting, Yue Chen had nothing to say and paid in full. After putting away the spiritual materials, he said goodbye.

After Yue Chen went out, Zhong Zhen walked out of the counter and followed him out. A short and fat man at the counter said to the middle-aged man with a pointed face: "This ugly boy surnamed Zhong must secretly give a lot of spiritual materials to the surname Yue." Perhaps, some high-grade cultivation spiritual materials will be given. Senior Brother Ji, you have to pay attention to this matter. ”

The middle-aged man surnamed Ji glanced at the fat man and said in a deep voice: "Now, I finally understand." The three immortals agreed to the arrangement of the four elders and arranged Senior Brother Zhong to Jiangzhou, which was to let him be in charge of Jiangzhou alone. Moreover, this matter must be directly related to this disciple of the Chengming Sect surnamed Yue. In the future, as long as it is related to Yue Chen, none of you must ask. ”

Another said: "Senior Brother Ji seems to have something to say, if you can trust all the junior brothers, you might as well say one or two!"

"Can you be sure that this is not the arrangement of the four elders?"

The other six looked shocked, and two of them were biting their tongues.

At this time, another large wave of monks entered the chamber of commerce, and the seven of them began to get busy.

In other words, as soon as Yue Chen went out, he was stopped by Zhong Zhen.

"Brother Yue, this Antiy Chamber of Commerce was opened by some old thing. My master, that is, the 'Seventh Master', he is not the most powerful. Above him there were three men, and below him there were five. We in the Antiy Chamber of Commerce call it 'Three Immortals, Four Elders, and Five Honors'. My master is one of the four elders, known as the 'Seven Ghost Heads'. ”

When Zhong Zhen talked about these things, he did not shy away from talking about them. However, Yue Chen didn't seem to have anything to ask, because what he wanted to ask, Zhong Zhen said it first. Speechless for a moment, he casually said a few inconsequential words.

After the two walked out of a distance, the number of people gradually became smaller, Zhong Zhen pulled Yue Chen into an alley, and said, "Brother Yue, you give me your Ruyi bag!" When Yue Chen was about to speak, Zhong Zhen stopped him with a gesture. Yue Chen had no choice but to hand over the Ruyi bag to him. Zhong Zhen poured out a lot of spiritual materials into Yue Chen's wishful bag.

"Here, nothing valuable. There is a small piece of lapis lazuli, which is quite in the past. I saw that you wanted to buy some elixirs to restore spiritual power and heal injuries, so I got you three bottles of four-grade elixirs. Zhong Zhen glanced at Yue Chen and said, "Brother Yue, I can't be the master of the elixir above the fifth grade for the time being." ”

Yue Chen stood on the ground. Because he knew, not to mention the four-grade elixir, it was that small piece of lapis lazuli, but it was one of the most superb cultivation auxiliary materials on the Hongmeng Continent, and one of the most superb alchemy main materials. Its own grade has reached the ninth grade, and because it is extremely rare, it is almost classified as a ground-level spiritual material. For monks, not to mention a small piece, even a little bit of foam is enough to make him a windfall.

"Brother Zhong, this is too valuable, I can't afford it!

"Precious fart! If you hadn't given up your life to save me, would I still be alive today? I'll give you the lesser piece. You don't blame me, do you?"

Yue Chen's words were full, his face full of gratitude.

Zhong Zhen said again: "My master said that the combination of lapis lazuli and the demon pill of the fifth order and above can increase the cultivation speed of the monk to the extreme. The demon pill can not only be sacrificed like a magic weapon, but also can directly absorb its spiritual power through secret methods, and can also be used to refine pills and the like. It's just that today's demon pill is quite scarce. My master only gave me a fourth-order demon pill. What kind of old thing is so picky!"

Yue Chen also knew what Zhong Zhen said, and in his "Taiqing Divine Immortal Book", there was such a secret mantra for cultivation. It's just that Yue Chen has never thought about this because of a note from his predecessors.

Yue Chen took the Ruyi bag, and after pondering for a while, he took out something from another Ruyi bag, stuffed it tightly into Zhong Zhen's hand, and said a few words in his ear.

"Brother Yue, I didn't lose anything in this deal. Zhong Zhen laughed and said: "Just rely on this, don't say anything else, in the future, I will cover all the spiritual materials that my brother needs to refine the spirit pill of the third grade and below." However, brother, how did you get such a valuable thing? With my brother's strength, I am afraid it will be difficult to do it!"

"Brother Zhong, I have nothing to say about this matter, but I know that its value is far less than that small piece of lapis lazuli, and you don't need to mind. After a slight pause, Yue Chen said, "Brother Zhong, why do you say that the demon pill is extremely scarce? In this Hongmeng Continent, although there are not as many demon beasts as my human race, they are also one of the ten thousand races second only to my human race. ”

"Brother Yue, this matter is indeed a bit strange. But listening to what my master said about them, it seems to have something to do with the weakness of the major factions. After Zhong Zhen recalled, he continued: "For example, among the three major schools of the righteous path, there is no outstanding leader except for seeing the holy monks. Although Taiyi Mansion has the three swords of the Xia family, and Chengming Sect has Yuchu Shangfu, they are also the best among their peers, but compared with the previous generation, they are too far behind. Coupled with the full cultivation of these disciples by various sects, there is a lot less experience, and naturally it is impossible to hunt and kill high-level demon beasts. ”

"Why do you know the strength of each faction so well, and ...... you?"

"I can't tell you about it. In short, the power of any faction cannot compete with us, this is certain. Zhong Zhen smiled a few words and said in a low voice: "I have to go back, lest a few people speak ill of me again." What's more, which senior brother surnamed Ji hasn't left yet. ”

Yue Chen nodded, and Zhong Zhen went back to the shop first. Then, a sword slid towards the direction of the Heavenly Slaying Peak.
