Volume 2 Ancient Sword Chapter 49 Taobao
Qingqiu Island, Qingqiu City.
The Qiangong realm, which covers the largest area second only to the middle palace realm, is guarded by the three families of Yun, Cen and Pu of the eight great families. The location distribution of the three families reflects the Xianhu Mountain, as if the immortals standing in the Xianhu Mountain are full of bows, the Yun family is in the position of the bow center, and the Cen and Pu families are the two ends of the tight bowstring. In the direction of the extension of the bow center, that is, on the trajectory of the arrow shooting straight out, there is a circular area with a radius of 1,000 zhang, which is named the fox dome.
The Fox Dome exists exclusively for the Qingqiu Festival, that is, it is open to the Qingqiu Festival held every five years. The various halls and houses scattered in it do not have luxurious and magnificent decorations, but are mainly practical. Transactions in each premises are highly confidential. The circle around the periphery of the temple is a kind of stall-style arrangement, as long as the participants in the grand event have treasures to take their hands on, they can occupy the land here to sell.
This is the highest level of trade that most monks can participate in, and it is also a place where all kinds of people with dreams of making a windfall forget to return. The so-called "Taobao" usually only happens within this range. This is known as Tier 1 trading.
The second layer of transactions is the public auction and sale transaction hosted by the eight major families and the three major chambers of commerce. The eleven forces are carried out separately without interfering with each other, and the participants can choose flexibly according to their own strengths and needs. There is no Taobao at this level of trading, and only real hard power is emphasized. For monks with a little strength, they often choose to take a gamble and try their luck here. For example, people like Yue Chen and others.
In other words, on May 5, the Qingqiu Festival started on time.
At the beginning of the hour, the eight entrances of the fox dome were crowded with people and noisy, but when they entered the fox dome, everyone suddenly quieted down. Some people grab a place to sell things, and some people hope to win a jackpot and take the lead in taking away the treasures that are looked at, so a big 'hair'. The so-called "stuffy", "sound", "fa" and "wealth" is a true portrayal.
In the rolling crowd, a group of very eye-catching people are also mixed in, and they are pouring into the fox dome from the east entrance. This group of people is none other than the people of the Heavenly Wolf Valley, the leaders are Yue Chen and Xiao Yao, and the others intentionally or unintentionally take the two as the center, always gathering together but not gathering, and taking care of each other.
Although there were many people participating in the event, when Yue Chen and the others finally squeezed into the fox dome, they found that there were not many people, and it seemed that there were still very few. Later, after Xiao Yao, Mu Hao and others talked about it, Yue Chen learned that originally this fox dome was also similar to the "Immortal Dao" in Qingqiu Continent, which was a kind of ancient magic circle space. It seems to occupy a limited area, but in fact it can accommodate many people, but no one knows. At least, even if everyone in Qingqiu Continent came, they would be very sparsely scattered in the fox dome.
And Xiao Yao and others' suggestion is naturally to mainly participate in the auction transaction three days later, and come to see the stalls to sell, which is equivalent to a warm-up.
Yue Chen had no objection to this, but secretly instructed everyone not to make trouble, and to pay attention to the surrounding movements at all times. Seriously, Yue Chen's heart was still very empty, after all, he had caused a lot of trouble in Qingqiu City.
Gradually, the people of the Heavenly Wolf Valley dispersed, and walked towards the stalls in three, three, five, and five. Xiaoyu, Xiaoxue, Xiaolang, and Xiaorong have been together, giggling and bargaining with the stall owner. Xiao Yao and Mu Hao also made an excuse and went to Taobao by themselves. Sima Liang and the others didn't know where they had gone.
Faced with this situation, Yue Chen just smiled slightly, and said in his heart: "Here, the only thing that worries people may be yourself." Looking at the various spiritual materials, ancient books, spiritual weapons, or ancient magic weapons praised by the stall leader, it can really be described as "dazzling".
In the prosperous age of cultivation, monks who can have a certain level of cultivation and dare to take risks with their own bodies are not exaggerated for the treasures of heaven and earth in the true sense of the word, and those who can see the eyes are one in a hundred, perhaps one in a thousand miles or ten thousand miles. Therefore, Yue Chen is a little interested in this kind of "Taobao" like looking for a needle in a haystack. One of the reasons for this was that the spiritual materials that Yue Chen could identify by himself were really insignificant to a Divine Derivation Realm cultivator. Otherwise, he would not have the cheekiness to ask the snake ancestor for help, and he would not have seen a shabby copy of the "Fairy Fox Pharmacopoeia", as if he had obtained a treasure.
After walking for nearly an hour, news gradually came out that someone had the luck of dog '' and bought a magic stone that was looked at. As soon as this person sells it, it is the difference between the price of the first-grade spiritual material and the fourth-grade spiritual material, and he makes a lot of money. When Yue Chen heard this, he shook his head slightly, ignored the inquiry, and walked to a pile of miscellaneous books.
The owner of this miscellaneous bookstall is a young man of the same age as Yue Chen, and the wind and frost of the years have left too many marks on his face. At first glance, he was much older than Yue Chen. Yue Chen casually picked up a book about recording demon beasts and flipped through it.
After a while, I heard the voice of a middle-aged man passing by: "Poor thing! The Yang family was once a wealthy family second only to the eight great families, and when it came to Yang Kai's generation, it had been reduced to making a living by selling their ancestral business. If Yang Gongquan had knowledge, he would really not be able to turn a blind eye. β
The other said: "Brother Tang, you can't say that. If it weren't for someone uniting with the Seven Ghost Alliance, doing that despicable and shameless thing, and abolishing the talented Yang Xing, who was the head of the Yang family, the Yang family would not have been like this. β
The third man said: "Two brothers, this is not the place to say this. Oh, by the way, so far, I haven't found anyone in the Heavenly Wolf Valley of Divine Fox Mountain. Will they not dare to come?"
"Absolutely not!" the first to speak, "Besides, we just want to meet which Yue Hall Master, and nothing else." What is the good brother anxious about!"
After Yue Chen heard this, he was only slightly stunned, and he was still calmly looking at the book in his hand. The stall owner surnamed Yang seemed to be very patient and did not urge.
"This big brother, may I ask how to trade this book of yours?" Yue Chen broke the silence and took the initiative to ask: "I just read this book carefully, and there are handwritten notes of the senior masters in it, describing in detail the various situations of the demon beasts of the fifth order and below. There are even talks about how to distinguish semi-spiritual demon beasts, and the heavenly and earthly treasures that this kind of demon beasts usually guard, and so on. For us monks who love to go out and explore, it is of great value. β
"My name is Yang Kai, and my brother's name is Yang Xing! Today, on the orders of my brother, I will buy and sell the last bit of inheritance left by my ancestors to see if I can exchange it for some Hyun Jing so that I can continue my brother's life. β
"Oh, then why only come here? In Qingqiu City, the shops of the family and the shops of the Chamber of Commerce are full of ......."
"This brother, if someone is willing to give the Yang family a way to live, why is it here?" Yang Kai sighed and said, "Brother Tai, if you can see these thirty-nine books, you can take them all with three thousand Hyun Crystals." I can also use these 3,000 Hyun Crystals to buy a bone refining pill to renew my brother's life. β
"What? A bone refining pill is worth three thousand Jing Jing? That's the three-grade spirit pill, how is this possible!" Yue Chen couldn't help but shout, attracting dozens of pairs of eyes around him to look at him. They all shook their heads and laughed in surprise.
Someone next to him said: "Three thousand, not much." At least you can buy it!"
After Yue Chen groaned slightly, he said, "Okay! I want all these books! However, about books, I also want to consult Brother Yang!"
Yang Kai shook his head and said, "Don't hide it from this little brother, I can't afford to pay for the secret house." β
"I'm out!" As he spoke, Yue Chen put the thirty-nine books into the primary storage bag, and Yang Kai also closed the stall, and as soon as he got together, the place was taken up. Yang Kai smiled slightly, and said, "Uncle Peng, I just found a vacant seat!" Who ignored Yang Kai, Yang Kai didn't continue to entangle, and came to a secret house side by side with Yue Chen. After Yue Chen handed over eighty Hyun Crystals, he entered a simple house under the leadership of a middle-aged man. The degree of secrecy of this kind of house is already very high, it seems that Yue Chen is a little uneasy, but Yang Kai is very relaxed.
"Little brother, if you have anything to ask, you have to do it as soon as possible. You can only stay here for three quarters of an hour!"
Yue Chen smiled awkwardly and said, "Brother Yang, I want to inquire about the price of the elixir, what is the specific situation in Qingqiu City?"
Yang Kai was stunned for a moment, then slowly shook his head and said, "Are you willing to spend eighty Hyun Crystals for this matter?"
Yue Chen nodded lightly.
"Alas, in fact, among the elixirs that we can come into contact with, the three-grade elixir is already a divine elixir. In normal trading, the first-grade elixir is worth 20 Hyun Crystals, the second-grade ones are worth 100 Hyun Crystals, and the third-grade ones are worth 300 Hyun Crystals. But for those who are designated as 'stinky 'fox lists', the first class is doubled, the second class is quadrupled, and the third class is at least ten times the starting price. Our Yang family is the third-class family on this list. As the old man said, it is already the blessing of the ancestors to be able to buy it. β
"What about the fourth-grade and fifth-grade elixirs?"
"Huh?" Yang Kai said in surprise: "I didn't expect that the little brother is a real person and does not show his face! The four-grade spirit pill is worth ten cloud crystals, that is, ten thousand yun crystals, once it is doubled, it will be at least in hundreds." As for the Five Rank Spirit Pill, it was actually only traded between the Three Fox Sects, the Three Chamber of Commerce, and the Eight Great Families. Ordinary people don't even think about it. Tell you the price, it's also for nothing. β
"It seems that as long as it is a declining family, it will never have a bright future. This move is ruthless enough, black enough, and absolutely unique!"
"Little brother, it's almost time, please support Fu Hyunjing, my brother is still waiting for help!"
Yue Chen nodded slightly, and first paid three thousand Hyun Crystals in full. Just as Yang Kai was about to go out, Yue Chen stopped him, took out two pill bottles, and said, "Brother Yang, I have some refined waste pills here, and some qi and blood invigorating effects. You might as well take it. Lest someone say that I am in a black-hearted business. β
Yang Kai looked at Yue Chen in a daze, his eyebrows began to hesitate, and after a moment, he said slowly: "Little brother, I know some elixirs. If it is a waste pill of the second-grade spirit pill, the price is also quite high, and there are at least twenty-five Hyun crystals in one piece. β
"Since it's a waste pill, what else do you need to be a hyun jing!as long as it's still somewhat useful, I'm still happy to give it away!" As he spoke, Yue Chen 'stuffed' the two pill bottles into Yang Kai's hands and went out with his hands.
As soon as Yang Kaiwei opened it, he immediately closed the Dan bottle tightly, gently hugged Yue Chen's shoulder, and said in a low voice, "Your surname is Yue?"
Yue Chen didn't look back, didn't have any expression, just walked to the other end. After Yang Kai was out of his mind for a short while, he quickly disappeared outside the fox dome.
Why did Yue Chen want to help the Yang family? I'm afraid even Yue Chen himself couldn't say why!
Probably, just by virtue of that handbook, it can be concluded that the ancestors of the Yang family must have been born with strange people who had created a family business. With such a family background, if there were few life-saving things, how could the two Yang Kai brothers survive until now? And someone has also mentioned that as long as they unite some families with similar family strength, they can overthrow the Song family. Therefore, it can be said that Yue Chen's actions just now were all done out of a momentary emotion.
Subsequently, Yue Chen walked around a few stalls alone and chose a small stall. The stall owner is middle-aged, with a kind face and a smile all the time. There were seven piles of stones on the stall. People like him are just trying their luck. Either you are unlucky enough to let someone else find a treasure from this pile of stones, or someone else is unlucky and pays a high price for a pile of broken stones.
When he saw Yue Chen coming, the stall owner smiled even more, and said loudly: "Little brother, this is a strange stone handed down from my ancestors, why don't you take a look?"
Yue Chen smiled secretly, and said in his heart: "Why do you like to say that it is handed down from your ancestors? Doesn't that mean that everyone admits that they are losers?" However, Yue Chen still carefully selected them, and after a while, he picked out three cone-shaped rough stones.
"Yo! The little brother really knows the goods, and he picked out the treasure at once! Don't hide it from the little brother, this is a second-grade ore spiritual material, I think I have a fate with the little brother, a fixed price, a gem can be exchanged for seventy-five Hyun crystals. What do you think?"
"This is a play stone without any grade, for the sake of carving value, I also have a fixed price, a total of three Hyun Crystals. Uncle, what do you think?"
"That's not going to happen!"
"Cut!" Yue Chen said disdainfully, raised his leg and left, the middle-aged man stopped Yue Chen again, and said: "Little brother, make money with harmony! So, I think I'm unlucky, my little brother's eyes are like torches, and I know this 'gem', let's take a step back, a total of 100 Hyun Crystals, how about it?"
"Oh! Uncle stall owner, then you can wait for the time when the sky is full of Hyun Crystals, and sell another hundred Hyun Crystals! I'm a poor man, I can't afford it!"
"Forty-five!" the stall owner gritted his teeth, "Little brother, this can't be less!"
Yue Chen turned around and just stared at the stall owner, not speaking, not shaking his head, not nodding. After a while, the stall owner stretched out three fingers, but he still didn't see Yue Chen's reaction. Only then did he pretend to be in a posture of reluctance to cut his love, gritted his teeth and said, "Five Hyun Crystals!"
"Deal!" Yue Chen put away the three stones, paid for the five Hyun Crystals, and turned around and left.
A person behind him walked to the stall owner and scolded with a smile: "Old 'fox', you bought it with a Hyun Jing, and it will return to its original cost so quickly." Yours is the real thing!"
Yue Chen heard it very clearly, couldn't help but smile in his heart, and said secretly: "If I hadn't read the Immortal Fox Pharmacopoeia, how would I have recognized the three-grade spirit stone grass wave stone that can be included in the pill!"
Near noon, at the entrance directly north of the fox dome, someone began to shout.
A teenager with a solemn face argues with a middle-aged man with a ruffian's face. The teenager insisted that the stall owner was a liar, and the middle-aged man held on to him and wanted to get his innocence.
There was a pale-faced girl standing next to the young man, who pulled the young man lightly and said in a low voice: "Brother Lang, forget it, give him ten Hyun Crystals!"
Nangong Lang said fiercely: "Xiao Rong, he is unreasonable. The root of the third-grade spiritual material oil magnolia is a layer of blue silk mud, not a layer of black sludge. Which uncle he wants to sell to is to bully others. β
The stall owner scolded: "If you are young, you know how to fart! It must be raised by a little lady, and you are really uneducated! Besides, the transaction between us is about your shit?"
There were also people around who watched: "This little brother is too dead-eyed." If you have a lot of money, can you go to the auction that will start in three days? On the first day, you will go to this place to admit death. That's enough!"
Another said: "In these years, there are still people who are willing to stand up and uphold justice, but I am really stupid." It's just that if you don't have the strength of the Yue Hall Master, it's better not to force your way out. β
As soon as the words fell, a head poked out of the crowd and said, "The eldest lady raised it, it seems that there is not much upbringing!"
The stall owner was furious and scolded: "Another little wild seed has come out......!
"Smack!"
A young man who had just jumped out of the crowd, without saying a word, raised his palm and smashed the stall owner's table, trampling the spiritual materials to pieces, and then felt happy. After the young man finished scattering the wild, he looked at the stall owner calmly, raised his eyebrows and said: "Old wild seed, if you have the ability, let's compete, compete!"
"Okay, you Wang 'Ba' Ye 'boy', do you know my identity?Say it, be careful to scare your dog's guts!" The middle-aged man suddenly said arrogantly: "You can listen well! My grandmother is the one who has served the current Yun family's housewife! My eldest brother was even selected to join the Yun family's ......."
"Haha......" The young man couldn't help laughing, and said, "Tut! The people who serve feces and urinals to others and take care of the home care homes have also lived a superhuman feeling." The young man suddenly stepped forward, pointed to the middle-aged man's nose and said, "Don't say that you are a straw bag and a waste who can't fight with the Yun family, you are the young master of the Yun family, and you are also our defeated general." β
"Slap, slapγ......" A series of loud slaps rang out.
It is a little unnatural for a middle-aged person to face such a young man who suddenly seems to be the "second ancestor". Who would have thought that this young man dared to go further and directly slapped himself more than a dozen times, or in front of so many people.
"Phew!" The young man spat on the middle-aged man's face, pulled the two people next to him and walked to the side, his face was very calm, his steps were even, and he said in a deep voice: "I didn't expect that in this Qingqiu City, the eldest brother is very famous now." There are a lot of people who want to meet him! Little wolf, we didn't go with him last time, we lost a lot!"
Suddenly, a girl popped out of the crowd, who was delicate and delicate, and pouted: "Brother Yu, you have caused trouble for your eldest brother again!"
Dongmen Yu waved his hand and said, "Just that straw bag, can it still be called trouble? Xiaoxue, don't worry about it! By the way, have you seen the eldest brother?"
"No, I ran into Senior Brother Xiao!" As they spoke, the four of them walked in the direction of the West Gate with relaxed expressions
In the crowd, an old voice said, "It turned out to be someone from the Heavenly Wolf Valley! No wonder! Hehe......
Someone said: "I didn't expect that the people from the Heavenly Wolf Valley are really here!"
A leisurely voice said: "Heaven has a way to go, and hell has no door to break into!"
