Chapter 018: Covert Trading

Kong Jiangzhou said: "Shi Daoyou, please go back to the mountain first, as long as this news is true, Lord Zhang will definitely have a heavy thanks." ”

Shi Tianci hurriedly said: "Don't dare to take this seriously, Lord Zhang is the general of my Tianshui country, the house has lost its pillars, it is still about to collapse, the country has lost its weight, how can it be undefeated? Once the general is lost, and the martial tomb is not guarded, we monks are afraid that we will also be ruined, and there are no eggs under the so-called nest, so it is my duty to warn Lord Zhang, and I dare not accept it." ”

These words were sonorous and powerful, but in fact, it was just a high-sounding face, what Shi Tianci thought in his heart was, I just said this, and you heard it like this. I sent the news, thank you for looking at it. Anyway, it's okay if I don't lie to you, but I can't get any benefit from helping you, so is there any reason?

Kong Jiangzhou said: "Having said that, I still have to thank you." By the way, this matter is very important, please keep it a secret, once there is rumors, the military spirit of Wuling City will be shaken. ”

Shi Tianci nodded and said, "Don't worry, I won't talk nonsense." ”

Shi Tianci said goodbye to Kongjiangzhou and immediately rushed back to the Fulai Inn. Zhu Changqi and Jiang Yuehan had been waiting impatiently for a long time, and when they saw him come back, they couldn't stop complaining. Shi Tianci made amends while giving each of them a flame talisman seal, which made them smile. Zhu Changqi saw that Shi Tianci had a lot of talismans, so he asked him why he didn't exchange them for some spirit stones, pills, magic weapons, and Taoism.

Shi Tianci had long heard that there was a place in this Wuling City where he could exchange these things, but he was busy with housework when he went down the mountain this time, so he didn't have time to go.

Shi Tianci knew that Lu Dao, the next time he went down the mountain, he didn't know when Lu Dao would have to wait, so he begged Zhu Changqi and the others to give him two more hours, let him go shopping, and exchange some necessary things. The hand of the person is short, they accepted his talisman, naturally it is not easy to refuse, and besides, there is enough time, so they all agreed.

So, Zhu Changqi accompanied Shi Tianci to the most lively Jiuzhuanfeng Street in Wuling City. The reason why this place is called Nine Turns Peak Hui is because the streets here are not straight lines, but twists and turns. This is the distribution center of Wuling City's repair supplies, both large-scale wholesale and small-scale retail. Because Wuling City is located at the border gate, the trade market here is extremely hot.

According to Zhu Changqi, there are two trading modes here, one is direct trading, which is traditional direct trading, the advantage is that the real price is clear, and the disadvantage is that scarce items are often not available. The other is covert transactions, where buyers and sellers do not meet each other, and transactions are done by comptoirs.

That is to say, buyers and sellers can deposit spirit stones and goods respectively in the firm that provides a hidden trading platform, which is called hanging account and hanging goods, and at the same time, both parties must specify what they want to buy and sell, and mark the expected selling price and purchase price.

If the bid price marked by one party can be higher than or equal to the selling price marked by the seller, the firm will complete the transaction and withdraw the seller's listed goods. Of course, if more than one buyer bid meets the requirements, the highest bid is chosen.

This kind of covert trading is very secure, but the transaction process can be very cumbersome because the two parties to the transaction have to constantly adjust the price.

After Shi Tianci heard this, he was very interested in the way of concealment, so he and Zhu Changqi came to Tianshui Country to do hidden transactions, and the most successful trading firm was Quan Shengxing.

Although Shi Tianci got some spirit stones from Shi Zishang, if you use them, the quantity is enough, and if you buy things, you won't have enough of them. Therefore, Shi Tianci adopted the method of bartering, exchanging the talisman for what he wanted to buy.

He marked the price to exchange for all kinds of spells, and in addition, the Great Returning Pill, the Runic Array, and so on were also things he was interested in. After the price was marked, Shi Tianci sat in the closed secret room and waited for news. Zhu Changqi also had something to buy, so he was not with him.

About half an hour later, Quan Shengxing's men sent him the results of the first round of bidding, and to Shi Tianci's surprise, he actually changed to a big pill. This big return pill is extremely rare, and someone actually took it out to exchange it for a low-level talisman seal, which made Shi Tianci somewhat surprised, but the spells he thought he would definitely be able to get were all out of command.

Fortunately, he also got a booklet of the rune array. This is a book of materials explaining the earth attribute five-element rune array, plus the information that Shi Tianci got from Shi Zishang to explain the wood attribute five-element rune array before, he can already get in touch with the university of rune array.

Monks can not know alchemy, casters, and seals, but **, spells, and runes are compulsory courses. Because the first three have special people to help you do it, as long as you have enough spirit stones, you can buy them. The latter three will definitely be used in actual combat, and if you don't get through, you will suffer a lot.

The grassroots disciples in the Wuling branch had no time to delve into Dao techniques and rune formations because they wanted to improve their cultivation with one mind, but those Linggen disciples were familiar with Dao techniques and rune arrays. Since Shi Tianci has the "Heavenly Heart Formula" to help him cultivate his magic skills, he is not so dependent on "Xuanyan **". He can prepare with a red heart and two hands, follow the devil and do whatever he wants. Therefore, he will have the leisure and leisure to contact these things.

In the second round of bidding, Shi Tianci except for the exchange for a demon realm spell, all the bidding prices failed. However, the Demon Realm Spell that he had exchanged for his hand made him ecstatic, because what he got was the Demon Shadow Ghost Hand that was specially used to release hidden weapons such as flying knives and bone piercing nails.

Although the name of this spell sounds like the ghost realm of ghosts, it is a real demon realm spell. Shi Tianci happens to have two hidden weapons, the flying knife and the yin and yang bone piercing nail, and the unique technique of the demon shadow ghost hand is simply the icing on the cake.

The price at the back, Shi Tianci gave up, because there was no time. After he came out to find Zhu Changqi, the two of them returned to the Fulai Inn. The four people of the same door hired a carriage and horses, pulled the purchased things, and returned to the Wuling branch.

Jiang Yiqing heard that everything was going well with them, so he did not hold them accountable for delaying time. Shi Tianci returned to his residence, he went down the mountain this time, the talisman seal was almost used, and he was about to print some more, but Zhu Changqi walked in.

Shi Tianci's grassroots brothers were all busy cultivating every day and had little contact with each other, so he used to print talismans directly in the house without worrying about someone breaking in. But this Zhu Changqi gave Shi Tianci a headache, he never knocked on the door when he entered the house, he pushed the door in a big way, and he couldn't hide any secrets.

Zhu Changqi saw that Shi Tianci was secretive, and asked suspiciously, "What are you doing, kid?

Shi Tianci said, "I'm researching the recipe for the Dragon Bone Pill. ”

The Dragon Bone Pill is a powerful pill used to improve the strength of the monk's bones, but the dragon is the king of the demon clan, who can catch it? Therefore, Zhu Changqi said disdainfully: "Dragon Bone Pill?

Shi Tianci said: "How can such a good formula be said to be useless? Once I can refine it in large quantities, I will make a fortune, and when the time comes, I can change whatever I want, and I can change whatever I want. ”

Zhu Changqi said: "Forget it, it's still refining in large quantities, where are you going to catch so many dragons?"

Shi Tianci said: "I don't need to catch too much, one female dragon is enough." ”

Zhu Changqi said curiously: "Why do you want a female dragon?"

Shi Tianci said: "If I can catch a female dragon, I will give it to you, you can do it, and I will divide half of the dragon clan next year, and it is enough to refine as many dragon bone pills as possible." ”

Zhu Changqi snorted and said, "Your head is broken, right? I did the female dragon? The female dragon did it, and I was almost the same." ”

Shi Tianci said: "That's a matter for the two of you, I don't care, as long as you give me half of the dragon clan, I don't care who you do." ”

Zhu Changqi said: "Phew, the female dragon still swallowed me alive? Besides, don't you know that the reproductive ability of the Dao Dragon Clan is extremely low?"

Shi Tianci smiled: "Didn't you come to improve the variety?"

Zhu Changqi said: "Okay, if you can catch a female dragon here, I will help you do her." Don't talk about it yet, I'm here to ask you something. ”

Shi Tianci asked, "What do you want to ask?"

Zhu Changqi said in a low voice: "You went out early in the morning that morning, I secretly followed you behind, and found that you went to Wuling to guard Zhang Zi'an's mansion, what did you kid do?"

Shi Tianci said a little angrily: "You spy on me?"

Zhu Changqi said: "Where am I spying on you, I am protecting you, I can't eat your big pill for nothing, I have to do something for you." You grassroots monks don't have any Taoist skills to defend yourself, so I'm going for your good. ”

Shi Tianci said: "Next time, don't follow me without my permission." ”

Zhu Changqi said helplessly: "Okay, listen to you, you should tell me, what are you going to do?"

Shi Tianci didn't want to tell him, because he promised Kong Jiangzhou, but he knew that Zhu Changqi was the most difficult, so he said: "I told you, don't tell others." Someone wants to assassinate Zhang Zi'an, I'm going to ventilate and report the news. ”

When Zhu Changqi heard this, he was taken aback, and hurriedly asked, "Is it from Xuanyun Gate?"

Shi Tianci nodded, Zhu Changqi pondered for a long time, and said, "They are really crazy, they even dare to assassinate the heavily protected garrison." ”

Shi Tianci said: "Their plan is extremely thorough, if Zhang Zi'an is not well prepared, I think there is a chance that he will be in danger." ”

Zhu Changqi said: "Since they are so carefully planned, how do you know the way?"

Shi Tianci said: "The people who participated in the assassination also lived in the Fulai Inn, and they were drunk and inadvertently revealed and I heard it. ”

Shi Tianci didn't dare to say anything about Shi Zishang, so he had to lie and perfunctory.

Zhu Changqi sighed: "It's really blessed that you can overhear such important news in an inn." If Zhang Zi'an survives, can I thank you properly? You kid is really lucky! Why can't I encounter such a good thing?"

Shi Tianci patted Zhu Changqi on the shoulder and said, "Brother, don't worry, it's gold that always shines......"

Zhu Changqi listened, nodded, and said, "I love to hear this." ”

However, Shi Tianci's next words made him almost vomit blood, and Shi Tianci continued: "It's shit that always smells good!"

Just when Zhu Changqi was guessing what reward Shi Tianci would get from Zhang Zi'an, bad news suddenly came from the mountain: Zhang Zi'an was assassinated!
