Chapter 35: Upper Trading
Xiao Dongsheng didn't seem to be able to say why, they originally entered Kunxi Ridge in order to chase down the big boss of the Autumn Garden, and they didn't spend too much time observing the mountain environment along the way.
Chu Qing was most interested in whether the old demon entrenched near Qujiao City was hiding in the mountains and forests of Kunxi Ridge, but Xiao Dongsheng and the others had never found such a profound monster in the process of entering the mountain and escaping.
This is actually a matter of course, but anyone who can be called an old demon, the cultivation of this kind of monster is already equivalent to an immortal cultivator in the True Dan realm, Xiao Dongsheng and a few cultivators of the True Yuan Realm will never be able to escape from Nakun Xiling alive when they encounter such a monster.
Once the monsters evolve from the little demon to the old demon, their degree of harm will be qualitatively improved, not to mention that their strength is completely different, and it is also a completely different concept in terms of lifespan.
Usually, the lifespan of the little demon generated by birds, beasts, scales and insects will not exceed two hundred years, and most of them will be around two hundred years, while the lifespan of an old demon is five or six hundred years.
Five or six hundred years is enough to witness the rise and fall of a Central Plains dynasty, and it is okay in the peaceful era, if it encounters an era of turbulence and demons, the power of an old demon is enough to harm the people.
Not to mention that every old demon has the potential to evolve into a demon king, the demon king is equivalent to the existence of a true saint realm immortal cultivator, and its lifespan can reach thousands of years, from the perspective of mortals, this is almost immortal.
Of course, on the other hand, the lifespan of a cultivator in the Human True Yuan Realm can also be about two hundred years, the life span of an immortal cultivator in the True Dan Realm can be five or six hundred years, and the lifespan of an immortal cultivator in the True Saint Realm can reach a thousand years.
Chu Qing, Xiao Dongsheng and others were talking, and a huge man came in from outside the tavern, it was Jing Tang.
Jing Tang saw Chu Qing enter this tavern, and as soon as he entered the door, he said angrily: "What a hell, all the pharmacies and businesses in this city have run all over the city, and I don't know which Wang Ba Lamb bought all the precious medicinal materials yesterday!"
Chu Qing glanced at Xiao Dongsheng and said with a smile: "I haven't gained anything at all, but I met a few friends who have met in the Autumn Garden." ”
Xiao Dongsheng's face changed twice, he was silent for a while, and when he saw Jing Tang's extraordinary momentum, he asked with a smile: "Is this big man a friend of Chu Daoyou, look at it." ”
Chu Qing smiled: "Xiao Daoyou is a noble man who has forgotten things, when I was admiring the Autumn Garden, this friend walked with me, but he didn't enter the stone room." ”
Xiao Dongsheng hurriedly got up and laughed: "Oh, I have some impressions when you say this, but there were too many accidents that night, and it was inevitable that I neglected my friends in the same way." ”
Jing Tang nodded at Xiao Dongsheng, said hello, and whispered to Chu Qing: "Chu Daoyou, come out, I have some news......
Chu Qing hesitated for a moment and said with a smile: "They are all friends in the same way, but it doesn't hurt for you to say it." ”
Jing Tang was stunned for a moment, a little reluctant, but he also believed Chu Qing's judgment, so he said: "I have inquired in the city, the Qulao clan has people who specialize in collecting precious medicinal materials from Kunxi Ridge, but if you want to buy these precious medicinal materials, you need to trade with the upper echelons of the Qulao clan, and it seems that the local monsters also play a big role in it." ”
Chu Qing carefully observed the reactions of Xiao Dongsheng and the others, but saw that these people did not have any surprised and abnormal looks, it seemed that he expected it right, this kind of news was not secret, and Xiao Dongsheng's gang had already found out.
Sure enough, Xiao Dongsheng thought about it for a while and said with a smile: "Xiao has also heard the news that this Taoist friend said, but the upper echelons of the Qujiao people don't seem to have much interest in trading with us idle people, and the objects they want to trade with are the seven major sects and even the current imperial court." ”
Chu Qing nodded, if the Qu Prison people made a deal with the Seven Great Sects and the Imperial Court, then they would have at least some connection with each other at the top level, which also explained why the Seven Great Sects and the Imperial Court didn't care about what the Qu Prison People did......
No matter what, Chu Qing didn't want to worry about the affairs of Quluo City, and the things here were still dominated by Emperor Meng, so he got up and arched his hand to Xiao Dongsheng and said, "I don't know how long Xiao Daoyou and these friends of the same way will stay in Quluo City?"
Xiao Dongsheng said: "A few of us won't stay for long, and you know that there is not much time left before that big event, and it is expected that we will leave in these two days." ”
Chu Qing smiled: "There's no need to be so eager, it's better to wait for two more days, maybe we can cooperate to get a benefit." ”
"What's good?" Chu Daoyou said?" Xiao Dongsheng hurriedly asked.
Chu Qing said bluntly: "For this occasion, in addition to cherishing medicinal materials, other benefits must be of little interest to Xiao Daoyou." ”
Xiao Dongsheng's eyes flashed, and he nodded hurriedly: "Since Chu Daoyou said so, then we will stay here for two more days, and a few of us will live in the inn diagonally opposite, and Chu Daoyou can come to us at any time." ”
"Okay! I still have some things, I'll talk to you when I have news. ”
Chu Qing said that he and Jing Tang walked out of the tavern together.
"Can this guy be trusted?"
"Is Boss Xiao familiar with these two guys?" someone was suspicious not long after Chu Qing left.
Xiao Dongsheng said with a cold face: "I'm not familiar with it, and I can't be trusted, I just fell for it with him in the Autumn Garden, he should know that if he wants to deceive me again, I'm afraid it won't be easy!"
Chu Qing and Jing Tang went back to the inn to discuss with Dimeng, but saw that the beautiful woman was in a good mood, humming a little song alone in the house, and there were a few side dishes on the table.
"You two are finally back, how about it, come and sit down!" Di Meng greeted with a smile.
Jing Tang told the news he inquired about in detail, Di Meng smiled, seemed to have a plan, and just greeted: "Don't just talk, eat vegetables, I'll cook it myself!"
Chu Qing said strangely: "You can still cook?"
"Isn't it strange?" Di Meng glanced at Chu Qing: "I will have more things to do, I already know the news you inquire, and I already know what you can't inquire." ”
Chu Qing was inquiring on the street, and Di Meng caught a monster in the city to extract a confession, and the information obtained from this was obviously asymmetrical......
The immortal cultivators of the big sects are really not a soil leopard like Chu Qing who can easily guess the degree, as far as the few small dishes made by Dimeng are concerned, the craftsmanship of the entire Fushou Village mother-in-law is probably not worthy of carrying shoes for Dimeng; Chu Qing never thought that the little things about eating and drinking can be so perfect, so where are a few small dishes, Dimeng's cooking skills are only afraid that they are stronger than her cultivation of immortal cultivators.
"You have such a skill in cooking, if you open a hotel, you will definitely make a fortune. Chu Qing was sincerely amazed.
"If it's delicious, you can say it's delicious, and I'm talking nonsense around the bush, I'm going to open a hotel with a Shending Sect immortal cultivator, is this a scolding thing, I really can't talk to you!" Di Meng was not very happy to hear such praise.
"Okay, when I don't have anything to say, no. Chu Qing threw the chopsticks: "You just hurry up and say how you plan to deal with the old demon in Qujiao City!"
"Aren't you eating?" Jing Tang brought a few plates of side dishes to him, smiling so sweetly.
