Long Chuan asked, "Mother, can't our Long family go to other cities to buy those things?"

Li Yun shook his head and said, "The Jade Sword Gate has a rule that does not prohibit those who hold those things from trading in any city, but we are not allowed to take the initiative to buy them in other cities. ”

Long Chuan frowned lightly and asked, "Mother, why is this?"

Li Yun said: "We don't know what the specific reason is for the regulations of the Immortal Family. ”

Long Chuan asked again, "Then has any of them ever gone to other cities to buy them?"

Long Zheng said: "When the Jade Sword Gate first appeared in the Sifang City, those items were relatively easy to find. Each family can purchase all the things needed for the Jade Sword Gate in their own city. Later, when it became more and more difficult to find, there were also several cases of going to other cities to rush to buy these things, but they were all warned by the Jade Sword Gate. ”

After a slight pause, Long Zheng continued: "Not only that, but later, the Jade Sword Gate simply set a uniform price, requiring several cities in the Sifang City to purchase these items, and the maximum purchase price should not exceed two percent of the price set by the Jade Sword Gate. In this way, when the price is about the same, people in each city, when they find these things, will generally sell them in their own city. ”

Long Chuan asked, "What about Fucheng?"

Long Zheng said: "We don't know the situation in Fucheng. However, according to our estimates, no one will come to the city to trade these items. ”

After that, without waiting for Long Chuan to ask, Long Zheng continued: "These items, at the beginning, can still be found in the Sifang City. After hundreds of years, these things can rarely be found in the Sifang City. Nowadays, most of these things come from outside the Sifang City. Fucheng is located in the middle of Sifang Castle. If you go to Fucheng to sell, no matter which direction you go, you need to walk a farther distance than if you sell directly in one of the four acropolis. ”

Long Chuan nodded, already understanding in his heart why no one was willing to go to the capital city or other cities to trade these things. Fucheng is located in the center of the Sifang City, separated from any acropolis by a distance of dozens of kilometers. Each acropolis is separated by a greater distance. In a world where modern means of transportation have not yet appeared, if each city buys these items for a similar price, there is really no need for those who hold these things to travel far and wide to trade them in another city.

Long Chuan asked, "Dad, are these things very rare around Sifang City?"

Long Zheng shook his head and said, "In addition to purchasing these things in Dongcheng, our Long family has also arranged for someone to search for these things outside the city for a long time. According to the results of our search, even now, there are not many of these things outside the city. It's just that, as your mother said, after hundreds of years, those items that are relatively easy to obtain have long been searched. The rest are either buried deep in the ground or born in a desperate place. Moreover, around these objects, there are often some extremely vicious and strange creatures. If a person gets close, these creatures have the potential to injure people. ”

Long Chuan asked, "Dad, can't you send a large army to kill these strange creatures?"

Long Zheng shook his head and said, "The four acropolis have also sent out large armies. But these strange creatures, whether they are insects, beasts, birds, or even plants, are extremely scattered and secretive, and cannot be killed. The dispatch of the army was, first, extremely costly, secondly, with little effect, and third, with considerable losses. The main task of the army is to defend the city, not to search for these things for the families. After the various acropolis dispatched several times, the prefecture issued an order that no more large armies should be dispatched privately. ”

Long Chuan nodded, and then asked, "Dad, since it's so dangerous, who got these things back?"

Long Zheng said: "Although it is dangerous to search for these things now, the price of these things is still very high compared to the things used by ordinary people. Those who go to search for these things, as long as they are lucky and succeed once, may have no worries about food and clothing for a lifetime. So, despite the danger, there will be many people who will take the risk of searching. ”

Long Chuan nodded, deciding not to continue dwelling on this issue. Long Chuan said to Xiaoqing in his mind: "Xiaoqing, it seems that we have to find a chance to go outside the city to see what kind of places these things are." ”

Xiao Qing shook it lightly and said, "Let's wait until you learn how to use True Qi." As you are now, go outside the city to look for it, and before you can find those things, you will already become the scum in the stomach of the monster. ”

Dragon Biography: "......"

Long Chuan said to Long Zheng: "Dad, the child still hasn't figured out why our Long family now has ten people from the Immortal Sect who need to be supported. ”

Long Zheng said: "About three hundred years ago, the Jade Sword Sect stipulated that in every five foundation inspection conferences, among our four Acropolis Lords' families, if any of them could have a disciple of the Three Immortal Bases selected for the Immortal Gate, this family could support one less person from the Immortal Gate. If you can produce one disciple of the Twin Immortal Bases, you can support three fewer Immortal Sect people. If no one has been selected for the Immortal Sect for five consecutive years, this family will have to support one more person from the Immortal Sect. ”

Long Chuan asked, "What is the truth?"

Long Zheng snorted lightly and said: "The Jade Sword Sect said that if anyone from the Jade Sword Sect can be selected for the Immortal Sect, it will provide the Jade Sword Sect with the reserve strength of the Immortal Gate, and they will have merit to the Jade Sword Sect, so they can provide less for some people in the Immortal Sect." If no one can be selected for the Jade Sword Sect for five consecutive years, it will not be able to provide reserve forces for the Jade Sword Sect, and it will not be able to produce people, so it will only have more materials for the people who cultivate immortals. ”

Long Chuan frowned and said, "Isn't this a forced apportionment?"

Long Zheng and Li Yun asked at the same time, "What do you mean?"

Long Chuan sweated a little in his heart, and hurriedly said: "Father, mother, the child means, isn't this forcibly stuffed for us?"

Long Zheng "hey" for a moment and said, "The immortal family has its own immortal truth. ”

Li Yun sighed and said, "The Jade Sword Gate's foundation inspection conference is once every twelve years, and every sixty years it is five times. In the past three hundred years, none of our Long family has been selected. Therefore, the Long family accepted five more Xianmen people. Moreover, one of the Immortal Elders needed more items than the others. ”

Long Chuan knew in his heart that the person who needed more items that his mother said was the great immortal thief surnamed Jin.

As soon as Li Yun's voice fell, Long Zheng said: "Chuan'er, in another five years, there will be another fifth foundation inspection conference." If no one in our Long family can be selected this time, there will be one more person from the immortal sect who will be stationed in our Long family. Even if it was just the addition of an ordinary immortal elder, the pressure on our Long family would be very great. If there is an additional Immortal Elder like Immortal Jin who needs more of those items, our Long family will soon be unable to get those things together. ”

Long Chuan nodded, and didn't ask, what would happen if the Long family really couldn't get those things together. In fact, there is no need to ask, Long Chuan can also think that for the Long family, the consequences will be very serious.

Seeing Li Yun looking at him with worried eyes, Long Legend said: "What does Father and Mother mean, do you want the child to also participate in this foundation inspection conference?"

Long Zheng nodded and said, "Chuan'er, if it weren't for the last resort, my father and mother wouldn't want to do this. ”

Long Chuan asked, "Dad, it's a good thing to be selected for the Immortal Sect?

Li Yun sighed softly again and said, "Chuan'er, no one in our Long family has been able to be selected into the Immortal Sect in the past three hundred years. The disciples who participated in the test at home were ridiculed and ridiculed by Xicheng and Beicheng at the foundation testing conference. Even the people in the Xianmen did not give the defeated children of the Long family a blank eye. Some of the children of the Long family, after participating in the foundation testing conference, have been in a slump since then. If Dad and Mother don't have no choice, they don't want you to participate in this foundation testing conference. If it weren't for this incident, our Long family, as the lord of Dongcheng, would not say anything else, it would always be okay for your father and mother to keep you safe and rich in your life. ”

Long Zheng also sighed and said: "Your eldest brother was not selected because he participated in the foundation inspection conference, and he felt sorry for our Long family, so he has been running around outside the city all these years, looking for these items for the Long family. Your second brother participated in a foundation testing conference, and after losing the election, his personality has become much duller than before. Now the children of our Long family who meet the age standards are reluctant to participate in this foundation testing conference. ”

Speaking of this, Long Zheng sighed again and said, "Chuan'er, if my father and mother don't really have no choice, I don't want you to take this risk." But the father, as the head of the family, can't just protect his children. Dad hopes you can understand this truth. ”

Long Chuan's heart warmed, and said: "Father, mother, don't worry, the child understands." Children will definitely go to this foundation testing conference. ”

Li Yun looked at Long Chuan, and said with worry in his eyes: "Chuan'er, you are smart when you are young." Dad and Mother believe that if you don't go to this foundation testing conference, you will be an ordinary mortal, and you will be able to be very productive in the future. Dad and mom are really ......."

When Long Chuan heard this, he didn't wait for Li Yun to finish speaking, got up from the chair, walked to Long Zheng and Li Yun and knelt down in front of him, and said, "Father, mother, as a member of the Long family, the child should share the worries of our Long family." Ask the father and mother to fulfill the child and let the child go to this foundation inspection conference. ”

Long Zheng left the seat, walked in front of Long Chuan, helped Long Chuan up, and said, "Chuan'er, it's good that you have this heart." In this foundation testing conference, whether you can be selected or not, my father and mother hope that you will not suffer any blow because of this. Even if our Long family doesn't be the lord of the East City, with my father and mother here, I will definitely keep you safe for the rest of your life. ”

After Long Chuan sat down on the chair, Xiaoqing smiled in Long Chuan's mind and said, "Long Chuan, your father and your mother have no confidence in you." ”

Long Chuan also smiled in his mind and said, "This time I must give my father and mother a big surprise." ”

Xiaoqing said, "We still have to figure out what the hell is going on with that stone." Make sure nothing goes wrong. ”

Long Chuan let out a "hmm" in his mind, and asked Long Zheng, "Dad, is the stone of that foundation inspection conference only available in the Jade Sword Sect?"

After Long Zheng and Li Yun glanced at each other, Long Zheng said, "That stone has also been used by other Xianmen people in Sifang City before. ”

Long Chuan hurriedly asked, "Are there other people from the Immortal Sect who have come to the Sifang City to recruit disciples?"

Long Zheng nodded and said, "Yes." However, after only one occurrence, it never happened again. ”

As soon as Long Zheng's words fell, Li Yun said: "The ancestors said that not long after the Jade Sword Sect began to recruit people with immortal bases in the Sifang City, a group of immortal cultivators appeared in the Sifang City, and they also took a stone to help the young people test the immortal base everywhere, and also found many people who met the standards for cultivating immortals. Later, the people of the Jade Sword Gate appeared, and it seemed that a big battle broke out between the two sides, with each dead and wounded. Subsequently, the Jade Sword Sect strictly forbade any other Immortal Sect people to help people test the Immortal Base in the Sifang City, and even more did not allow other Xianmen people to recruit disciples in the Sifang City. ”

Long Zheng continued: "Our estimation is that the Jade Sword Sect doesn't want other people in the Immortal Sect to recruit good seedlings who can cultivate immortals. Since then, in the Sifang City, except for every base testing conference, there is no one in the Xianmen who tests the immortal base. ”

Long Chuanxin said, "Isn't this similar to the prohibition of identifying the sex of the fetus in another time and space?"
