Chapter 37 Baichang City
Chapter 37 Baichang City
In a huge valley, in a city with a radius of hundreds of miles, people come and go, and most of these people exude faint fluctuations. And most of these fluctuations far exceeded those in Qinglong Town.
At the edge of the city, a black light flashed and stopped near the city, and then a young man flashed out of the black light, and with a move of his hand, the black light directly disappeared into his sleeve. And the young man is Xiao Ling, who has changed his appearance.
Although there is a cloud-breaking shuttle, but Xiao Ling still took three days to arrive at this trading market that Uncle Ma said, I have to say that the cloud-breaking shuttle is indeed a rare flying treasure, these three days also made Xiao Ling admire this cloud-breaking shuttle, if there is no cloud-breaking shuttle, it will take seven or eight days for his own royal weapon to fly, to say the least.
Looking at the city in front of him, Xiao Ling sighed for a while. This is the trading square market that Uncle Ma said, this city is called Baichang City, and the name has nothing to do with the trading square market. However, it is forbidden to fly for ten miles near this city, of course, if it is a high-level monk above the Yunshen Realm, it is not an exception.
Baichang City was jointly established by Qingling Hall and Baiyun Pavilion, and the two forces were both huge forces in Qingzhou and Yunzhou, but they were usually hidden deeply, and ordinary people didn't know much about them. If Uncle Ma hadn't known a little about this and told Xiao Ling, Xiao Ling really didn't know that Lu Dao still had such two potential forces in Qingzhou and Yunzhou. Qingling Hall and Baiyun Pavilion are two trading houses that mainly trade in the Fang Market, and the two also form a business alliance of Qingyun Trading Workshop, which is located all over the territory of Qingyun Gate, and even in other regions, there are Qingyun Trading Workshops. This business alliance basically monopolizes more than half of the bulk transactions and seventy percent of the high-end materials, elixirs and treasures in the territory of Qingyunmen, that is, most of the materials in Qingyunmen are obtained from Qingyun Trading Workshop, so Qingyun Trading Workshop can be said to be a very strong force, and its existence time is also quite long, only slightly shorter than Qingyunmen. The key is that there are quite a lot of high-level cultivators in the Qingyun Trading Workshop, and if you talk about the foundation, they are not much weaker than the Yu family and the Lu family. In fact, in the territory of Qingyunmen, there are still many such hidden potentials, but Xiao Ling still knows very little about it now.
Baichang City was built in a basin hundreds of miles in Qingyun Mountain, and Qingyun Mountain itself is a mountain range that has not yet been developed, so countless adventurers have poured into Qingyun Mountain, trying to find opportunities in the mountain range. And these people often bring out countless heavenly and earthly treasures from Qingyun Mountain, and most of these things will be sold in the Qingyun Trading Workshop in Baichang City, so there are often many curiosities in the Qingyun Trading Workshop.
With the establishment of the trading workshop in Baichang City, many other industries have emerged, such as alchemy, refining, talisman making, and so on. And there are quite a lot of refining shops in Baichang City, many of them are quite famous, and even there are many people in Qingyunmen who come here to refine weapons, and Xiao Ling's biggest purpose of this trip is the refining shop here, hoping to find a suitable shop to refine a few of his favorite magic weapons and other things.
Baichang City is divided into five areas, east, west, north, south and middle, each area has different functions, the east area is a gathering area for most mortals, most of the things traded in it are some ordinary medicinal materials and materials, and this area is the most populous of all regions, this area alone has gathered more than a million mortals, some of these mortals make a living by opening shops, but more are mortal adventurers, some of these people are formed into an adventure team, and some are adventure teams formed mainly by families, with only one purpose, that is, to Taobao in the deep mountains, once Taobao is successful, it will immediately become a phoenix, but many more are just able to survive a basic existence. However, there are also many people who get a big opportunity and get rich overnight, and once these people get rich, they will immediately leave here with their families or teams and buy properties elsewhere. But the vast majority of people do nothing all their lives.
The western area is dominated by alchemy, and the people who live here are all monks who are not weak in cultivation, generally above the qi gathering period, and most of the few body forgers here are doing miscellaneous work and apprenticeship. The monks here are generally afraid to provoke, after all, one of these people is a high cultivator, and the other is that most of these alchemists have some relationship, and provoking one is equivalent to provoking a group, so no one has ever dared to cause trouble here. However, this area is a very important part of Baichang City, after all, many cultivators themselves are not good at alchemy, and this place can provide the elixir cultivated by most middle and low-level cultivators. Occasionally, some high-level cultivation pills will appear, but they are relatively few.
The southern area is a gathering area for talisman makers, and most of the people here are born with an extremely strange talent for the way of talisman making, although the cultivation may not be very high, but the way of talisman making is quite superb. However, most of the talisman makers here are refining some high-level talismans at most, and those who can refine spirit runes will basically not appear here, after all, the talisman makers who can refine spirit runes are some powerful ones who are fighting for it, even Qingyunmen is no exception. The attack effect of ordinary low-level spirit runes is equivalent to the attack of monks above the Dan realm, and the top-level spirit runes are something that even the monks of the Tribulation Realm cannot ignore. It is said that there are higher-level talismans above the spirit runes, but these talismans cannot appear in the lower realm, after all, the higher-level talismans, whether it is the materials required for refining or the heaven and earth vitality required for refining, are not provided by the lower realm, and the refining of those talismans also requires the talisman maker to have a higher understanding of the rules of heaven and earth, which cannot be done in the lower realm. Therefore, those origin spirit runes that appeared by chance were basically from the upper realm, and once they appeared, they all caused countless people to scramble for them.
In the North District, there is a gathering place for a bunch of refiners, where not only are exquisite magic weapons for sale, but also a lot of ingots appear. And this area can also customize magic weapons, of course, you can also provide materials here to let people refine magic weapons just a little cost, after all, these refiners generally don't have too many high-level materials to practice, so of course someone to provide materials is not wanted. However, the North District is also the most complicated to live in, not only for refining magic weapons, but also for refining formation mages. And since most of the high-level monks refine their natal treasures by themselves, the refining masters in the northern region are at most just helping people refine top-level magic weapons, and compared to other regions, the highest level of monks here is only a cultivator in the Qi Gathering Period. However, the formation mages in this area are a force that cannot be ignored, and the cultivation of these formation mages themselves is relatively high, or they will not be able to comprehend those advanced formation methods.
However, this time Xiao Ling came to Baichang City for the refining weapons in the Northern District, and if he wanted to refine the top-level magic weapons, he still needed to find an excellent refining workshop here, and wanted to refine the horns of the pair of Red Flame Dragon Lizards in his hands and the skin of the Red Flame Dragon Lizard into his favorite magic weapons.
However, these two materials are very rare, even refining ingots is also possible, but now Xiao Ling doesn't need ingots, what he needs most is a top-level magic weapon. And the skin can refine the top-level defensive magic weapon, and as for the opposite corner, it can refine the top-level offensive magic weapon.
Of course, with the hardness of these two materials, if the top-level magic weapon refined, the effect may not be much weaker than some low-level ingots, which is also the reason why Xiao Ling's heart is hot when he thinks about it. Originally, Xiao Ling had a lot of life-saving things on his body, but Xiao Ling was still not satisfied, and now that he had the best material of the Red Flame Dragon Lizard, of course, he had to refine the treasure quickly. Moreover, Xiao Ling knew that once he entered the Qingyun Gate, he would not have much time to deal with the materials in his hand, and it was very likely that someone would find out, he didn't believe that others would not be hot. If you refine it now, then there will be no big problem, after all, there are many disciples who will get the support of the family before entering the sect, and it is normal to have some magic weapon treasures, and it will not make people think about it. As for the other two materials in his hand, Xiao Ling had already done a simple process, as long as he didn't take it out, no one would know about it. And when you wait until you have achieved a little success in your own cultivation, you can refine better ingots by yourself.
Xiao Ling took the jade slip and kept checking the introduction of Baichang City in the jade slip, while thinking about it crankily. But soon Xiao Ling was sure of himself, and he put the idea just now behind him. Let's take a look at the introduction below.
And the most important thing in Baichang City is the central area, which accounts for nearly one-third of the entire Baichang City, this is where the Qingyun Trading Workshop is located, some people say that as long as you have enough Yuan Jing, you can buy any treasure pill materials related to cultivation here or even people. Although this is an exaggeration, it is not far off. However, the price of things here is much higher than that of other places, but the credibility is guaranteed, and the average person of insight would rather pay more to buy here.
Of course, in the central region, there is not only one trading house in Qingyun Trading Square, but there are many other trading houses, but the fame of these trading houses is far less than that of Qingyun Trading Square. In addition, there are more scattered stalls in the central area, which are some of the treasures found outside and sold here. And there are quite a lot of these scattered stalls, and from time to time there are some excellent materials and elixirs. Of course, once these things appear, they will be fought over by countless people.
And the Qingyun Trading Workshop will have an auction every three months, in which there are not only exercises, pills, various treasures, materials, elixirs, and even the best double nuns for sale. In desperation, many male cultivators who have stagnated in their cultivation put their hopes into their double nun companions, hoping to break through one or two. But there are also many male cultivators who come to buy these superb double nun companions to satisfy their indelible desires.
The most recent auction is tomorrow, and as mentioned on the jade slip, there will be quite a lot of excellent materials this time, and many people will flock to it for a while. Xiao Ling shook his head, he didn't have many yuan crystals, and it was a little unrealistic to participate in the auction, but he could go and see it.
Thinking of this, Xiao Ling put the jade slip into the storage bag, looked for the inn, and temporarily put down the refining weapon in advance.
After a while, Xiao Ling found a small inn at the edge of the central area and stayed there, and he still needed to stay here for a long time, so Xiao Ling booked a room. After entering the guest room, Xiao Ling began to think about the recent events one by one, and then thought about the refining and tomorrow's auction, and after thinking that there was no problem, he turned his head and began to sleep, after all, he really hadn't slept well recently.
The next morning, Xiao Ling woke up from his sleep, his spirit was a little dazed, and he dreamed for the first time in more than a year. Thinking of the scene in the dream, a faint smile hung on the corner of Xiao Ling's mouth.
After a stick of incense, Xiao Ling woke up from his trance, washed up, and left the inn full of energy. At the door of the inn, Xiao Ling got into a car pulled by several ghost sharks and leopards, and went straight to the venue. These ghost shark leopards are a low-level demon beast, not even a first-order, but their speed is fast and their temperament is docile, so there are many towns and cities that have people raising this beast to replace their foot power. And Baichang City is forbidden to fly, so these beast cart businesses are still really good.
Half an hour later, Xiao Ling came to the central area, and he could see a huge cyan tower from a distance, the tower was more than a thousand zhang long, and this tower was not only high, but also covered an extremely wide area, according to Xiao Ling's vision, at least it covered an area of more than ten miles. It seems that this is where the Qingyun Trading Workshop is located, Qingyun Pavilion.
The entire central area of the market is built around this giant tower, around the giant tower there are countless buildings of different heights around, these are some trading houses, specializing in selling some materials, elixirs and magic weapons. On the outskirts of these shops is an open space, where countless people set up stalls selling materials and medicinal herbs.
Since the auction was still early, Xiao Ling was not in a hurry to rush over, so he got off the beast cart in advance and walked around the peripheral markets. But turning around this way really opened Xiao Ling's eyes.
Originally, when he was in Qinglong Town, he thought of Xiao Ling, who was calm, and when he saw the countless superb materials and elixirs that appeared here, his heart trembled. However, there is no rush to buy materials now, and the most important thing is to participate in the auction first.
After thinking about it, Xiao Ling walked towards Qingyun Pavilion with a hint of reluctance.
Half an hour later, Xiao Ling leisurely walked in front of the giant tower. The cyan giant tower that appeared in front of him was made of an unknown cyan boulder, and the entire giant tower was shrouded in a layer of almost invisible light curtain, which was obviously a very powerful prohibition.
Xiao Ling looked around a little, basically three or four hundred zhang will have a door of a zhang high, several feet wide, on the top of the door there is a plaque inlaid with gold plates, on which the ancient characters "Qingyun Pavilion" are printed. And at the door, there were ten people standing in blue and white clothes, looking like they were not weak, most of them were forging body ninefold, obviously the guards of Qingyun Pavilion. And these people had a disc-shaped magic weapon in their hands, constantly checking the monks who had entered the Qingyun Pavilion. And these monks, who are usually invincible, did not show any impatience in the face of these guards, and were very cooperative.
Xiao Ling walked quickly to the door and handed over ten yuan crystals. If you participate in the auction, you will have to pay a fee if you do not receive an invitation. The minimum cost is 10 yuanjing. The guards took Yuan Jing and examined Xiao Ling with the disc-shaped magic weapon in his hand. Watching the disc-shaped magic weapon emit a pale green light that shrouded Xiao Ling, and then the light quickly dissipated. The guard said a few words to Xiao Ling lightly, and Xiao Ling nodded expressionlessly and walked in.
As soon as Xiao Ling entered the tower, his eyes lit up, and what appeared in front of him was a hall that was more than a thousand zhang wide, and there were more than 1,000 people in the hall at this time, these people were looking at the light curtain above the hall, and the light curtain was introducing the things that were about to be auctioned at the auction.
"Grass", "Grain Flower", "Iron Essence", "Mica Essence", "Snake Fruit", "Light Pill"
One by one, the names circulated on the light curtain.
Xiao Ling looked at the constantly changing names on it, and for a while he had more expectations for this auction. After thinking for a while, Xiao Ling walked to the left side of the hall. On the left side of the hall is a small gatehouse with the word "Treasure Appreciation" on it.
Xiao Ling walked to the front of the gatehouse, and there were few people in front of the gatehouse at this time, obviously because the auction was about to start, not many people were here to appreciate the treasure.
Xiao Ling walked quickly into the entrance room, there were two middle-aged men and women, a man and a woman, and the two of them didn't know whether they were cultivating exercises or strange treasures, and there was a faint black halo on their faces, making it impossible to see the faces of the two clearly.
