Chapter 1: Haicheng (I)
Xuan Ai has his own small courtyard in Haicheng, and several ordinary people serve as servants. Although he has been promoted to the rank of madman, it is impossible for him to be rich and rich. Unlike the professionals of the low-level continent, in Haimen, only the professionals above the Holy Master have a certain status, and after reaching the Great Saint Master, they can live a more nourishing life.
Xuan Ai helped Guo Twelve and the others to register and receive the identity talisman of Haimen's guarantee, so that they could live in Haicheng justifiably in the future, and they could also go to look for jobs. In Haicheng, it is a normal thing for professionals to work part-time, which is completely different from the low-level continent.
After resting at Xuan Ai's house for a few days, Guo Twelve and the others recovered. Especially Qi Nanshan, when he first came ashore, he almost couldn't walk, and the whole person staggered, like a crab, walking a few steps sideways from time to time, and it was not until now that he returned to normal. He swore that he would never fly on a ship again, preferring to fly long distances.
The four of them discussed at night, first living in the Core Base Continent for a period of time, and then returning to the Star Continent to continue looking for Master Luo Ji. With the crossover charm, you can set the coordinates of this continent, and you can directly return here from the Star Continent when the time comes. Monier attaches great importance to this continent, this is a high-level continent, and in the future, she can bring Deadwood with her to find a suitable sect to join.
Qi Nanshan didn't have any thoughts about this, as long as he could find the old man, he didn't care about anything else. Of course, he also knew that this matter was urgent. Eagle Demon and Qi Nanshan's mentality is almost the same, as long as he follows Guo Twelve, he doesn't need to think about anything, just follow Guo Twelve.
Xuan Ai is very happy, he likes to have friends to come, he can find a reason to take a leave of absence, take the opportunity to relax, this feeling is very good. He has never been a cultivator, what he likes is a leisurely life. It's a pity that in the high-level continent, if you want to live a leisurely life, you must at least reach the level of Saint Master or above.
After staying for a few days, Guo Twelve planned to go to Haicheng for a visit. He had never been to a city in a high-level continent, and wanted to see how it was different from a city in a low-level middle-level continent.
Monier was also excited to go shopping, wanting to buy some high-end mainland specialties and return to Chenxiao Sect to show off. Everyone discussed, accompanied by Xuan Ai, Guo Twelve, Moniel and Eagle Demon went to the street together. Only Qi Nanshan has no interest in this, let him go shopping, it is better to sleep comfortably.
Shopping is a relaxed and pleasant thing, you don't have to think about anything, just take a walk and take a look, so Guo Twelve and the others are very relaxed.
Xuan Ai introduced as he walked: "This is Octopus Street, you see...... It extends in all directions, like an octopus pounced on the ground. He pointed to a street not far away: "This street is dedicated to the sale of various materials on consignment, we call it the Grocery Road, and down this street is the Charm Avenue, which is the most prosperous place in Haicheng." β
Guo Twelve was surprised: "Spell Dao?"
Xuan Ai said, "What's so strange about this? Any city in the high-level continent...... Or the sect bazaar, there will be a charm avenue, this is a general rule. β
Guo Twelve's face was slightly red, where did he know so much, and said, "Oh, I hardly have a chance to go shopping, hehe, go and see?" The last sentence was asked by Moniel.
Moniel smiled, "Okay, go check it out, maybe you can find something special." β
Xuan Ai said: "In the city...... Anything related to charms is ordinary goods, high-end goods rarely appear, and the really good things are in the sect, and most of them are exchanges, not sales. β
Guo Twelve doesn't have a lot of money here, although he can be completely self-sufficient as a professional, but some places still need some big money. He said: "Xuan Ai, find a better firm, I want to sell some materials." β
Xuan Ai nodded and said, "I know a trading house, and the price is fair." β
Coming to the door of a trading house, Xuan Ai said, "This is it." β
Guo Twelve looked up, there was no signboard, no promotional materials, just an ordinary gate, if no one brought it, he didn't know that this was a commercial house. He asked, "What is the name of this firm?"
Xuan Ai smiled: "It seems to be called Haizhen Commercial Bank, I can't remember clearly, I was also brought by someone else, I came a few times, I think it's not bad, the price is fair, and the service is good." β
The crowd walked through the door. There is a large courtyard inside, and a large number of dried goods are piled up on the ground covered by bluestone slabs, exuding a strong smell of seafood, all of which are untreated seafood. Guo Twelve glanced at it and said, "This is food, not talisman materials. β
Xuan Ai nodded and said: "The front yard buys seafood, and the backyard buys talisman materials." β
There were a few fisherman-like people standing in the courtyard, haggling with the guys who bought them. A guy saw Guo Twelve and the others coming in, and hurriedly greeted him, "Excuse meβ"
Xuan Ai smiled, "We're going to sell some talisman materials." β
The guy had a happy look on his face and said, "Please, please come with me." He diligently led the way in front and led the crowd to the backyard.
There weren't many people in the backyard, only a few low-level pros selling their loot. The man walked up to an old man and said, "Shopkeeper Fan, there are a few distinguished guests...... and then stepped aside.
Shopkeeper Fan put on a professional smile and said, "How many ...... Uh, Xuanshi, long time no see, these are your friends?"
Xuan Ai smiled: "Old Fan, I'm going to bother, these are all my friends, from the outer continent, and they have a lot of good things in their hands." β
Shopkeeper Fan suddenly opened his eyebrows and smiled: "Okay, okay...... Please sit in the lobby. He turned his head to the young man beside him and said, "Go and ask Master Sun, who is in charge of the appraisal, to come." β
Guo Twelve asked, "Xuan Ai, this trading house is also a vassal trading house of your Haimen?"
Xuan Ai said: "Of course, in Haicheng, the slightly larger commercial houses are dependent on Haimen, even if they are not attached, they are inextricably linked with Haimen, and they are ...... Haimen is in control. β
Shopkeeper Fan already knew that Guo Twelve and the others were professionals from the outer continent, and when he heard this, he couldn't help but interject: "The talisman materials we purchased here will be handed over to the sect in the end, hehe, please! Please sit in the lobby." β
Everyone walked into the special lobby.
A young man walked in. Shopkeeper Fan hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Master Sun is here, let me introduce to you, Haimen disciple, Sun Fu, the junior madman of the charm, Master Sun is an appraiser stationed in our firm." β
Xuan Ai smiled: "Sun Fu, I haven't seen you for a long time, I'm doing well." β
Sun Fu sighed and said, "It's not good at all, it's suffocated, dealing with a bunch of stinky materials all day long, that's like you...... Running around in the open sea and sky is much happier than me. β
Xuan Ai shook his head and said: "Forget it, you stay in the house every day, the wind can't blow, the rain can't get wet, how comfortable it is, envy me for what I'm doing, I run like a dog every day, I'm tired to death." β
Sun Fu didn't want to continue the topic, and asked, "These are your friends?" He looked at Guo Twelve and the others, with a surprised look on his face, as if he sensed that the level of these three people was not low, and asked, "Aren't they our disciples of Haimen?"
Xuan Ai smiled: "Come, introduce yourself." β
Guo Twelve nodded and said, "Guo Twelve, from the outer continent, a junior spell saint master." β
Moniel said, "Moniel, Intermediate Spell Master. β
Eagle Demon said: "Eagle Demon, Junior Fu Martial Saint Master. β
Shopkeeper Fan took a step back. Even in Haicheng, the Saint Master is also a person of great status, but I didn't expect that these three are all Saint Master-level professionals. Sun Fu showed a hint of surprise, and his attitude couldn't help but be a little respectful, and said: "Fortunately, hehe, you are Xuan Ai's friends, that is, my friends, if you need help, just ask." β
Sun Fu and Shopkeeper Fan were a little puzzled in their hearts, how could a Saint Master-level professional come here to sell materials?
Guo Twelve also has a hard time, he doesn't dare to come up with too good materials, that will attract the attention of others, so he can only sell some ordinary materials to earn some living expenses in the core base continent.
He took out a talisman bag, handed it to Sun Fu, and said, "Here are some low-level materials, you can estimate them." β
The talisman bag contained materials dismantled from a fifth-level mutant talisman beast. It was a mutated iron crocodile, collected in the Bloody Secret Realm, and the essence blood had been absorbed by the giant dragon, leaving only bones and an iron crocodile skin.
Sun Fu inspected it a little and set the price. The materials of the fifth-level mutant rune beast are not uncommon, and the Sea Treasure Trading House can often receive them. He said: "Very complete iron crocodile skin, well, give you a whole number, eighty thousand talisman money." β
Guo Twelve was slightly stunned, and then smiled: "Okay." β
Eagle Demon frowned slightly, he felt that the price was too low. After thinking about it, this is a high-level spell continent, maybe a fifth-level mutant rune beast is not worth much. If it is in the North Rune Gate, this mutant iron crocodile will not be able to sell it at all, it must be a barter.
Xuan Ai nodded and said, "This price is good." β
Under the explanation of the shopkeeper Fan, Guo Twelve gradually understood the big talisman money needed for the life of Haicheng people. The big rune money of the high-level continent is basically universal, that is to say, if you go to another high-level continent, the big rune money here can be used as well. However, there are still differences in the big talisman money of each continent. Ordinary residents can live a very nourishing life with a monthly living cost of several hundred yuan.
Sun Fu transferred the materials in the talisman bag, then put in 80,000 talisman money, and returned it to Guo Twelve.
Guo Twelve curiously took out a large talisman coin, and couldn't help but be taken aback. This big rune coin turned out to be made of gold, which is completely different from the big rune coin of the North Rune Gate, with two runes on it, which are the two characters of the core base, representing the core base continent. This large talisman coin is very beautifully made, no less than the commemorative gold coins of the previous life.
Monier took it, and after taking a look, she couldn't help but praise: "What a beautiful big rune money!" Even Chenxiao Sect doesn't have such a beautiful big rune money. Gold is also a kind of talisman material, and in the middle and low-level continents, it is a relatively precious auxiliary material, so no mid-to-low-level continent will use gold to make large talismans, it is too extravagant.
No wonder this price was offered, it turned out to be a large talisman made of gold, which itself was very valuable. The Eagle Demon was relieved.
