Chapter 123: The Yan Family Has Gold (Second Update)
PS: Salute to Brother You Jin! Kind and kind, enthusiastic and helpful old man, very much in line with the image of Brother You Jin!
So, a lot of votes for recommendations!
By the way, the monthly pass is about to be caught up, if you still have it in the ticket folder, then vote more?
"This old man, the kid is polite!"
In the stone forest, next to a bonfire that was about to burn, a thin old man sat in a pile of animal skins, looking up and down at Yin Xuege with slightly glowing eyes. Seeing Yin Xuege saluting himself, the old man with a clear face smiled and raised his hand to return the salute: "Little brother is polite." ”
The two sides introduced themselves, and Yin Xuege was still the same rhetoric, he was an unlucky guy who had an accident while riding the teleportation array. As for his origin, Yin Xuege didn't say it in detail, and the old man didn't ask carefully.
And this caravan resting in the stone forest was led by the old man in front of him. The old man's name is Youjin, and he is a steward of the Yanjia Chamber of Commerce in Huangsha City, and this time he specially led a team to the Yanmo Desert to collect the 'Three Day Flowers'.
The so-called three-day flower is a special herb of the Flame Demon Desert. Every year, there will be a heavy rain in the Flame Demon Desert, and a large number of seeds buried in the ground will sprout and grow and reproduce. The three-day flower is one of them, it sprouts one day, blooms one day, withers one day, and the whole life cycle is only three days, hence the name three-day flower.
The old man Youjin reached out and grabbed a small blue-green bouquet from a camel bag beside him. These dried bouquets emit a faint fishy smell similar to the venom of some poisonous insects and snakes.
Reached out and took the bouquet from the old man's hand. Yin Xuege sniffed the smell of the flower, and then nodded with a smile: "It turned out to be him, the three-day flower, that is, the 'scorpion poisonous weed', I didn't expect him to grow in this desert, and to reproduce in such a strange way." ”
There was a glint in the old man's eyes, and he nodded with a smile: "Scorpion poisonous weed? Unexpectedly, the little brother is still knowledgeable, and he actually knows this title. Then, can the little brother know? What are the effects of these three flowers?"
He handed the bouquet in his hand to the old man with gold. Yin Xuege said nonchalantly: "Some strange poisonous insects, only by taking the poison grass can they lay eggs and reproduce their offspring, and the vitality of the offspring will be stronger." There are Kim seniors. Has the Yan Family Chamber of Commerce raised a large number of poisonous insects?"
Laughing, he stuffed the bouquet back into the camel sac. The old man shook his head. began to explain to Yin Blood Song why they were selling this strange flower.
The Yan Family Chamber of Commerce does not raise poisonous insects themselves, but every year, a powerful evil sect 'Ten Thousand Gu Sect' will come to Huangsha City to buy three days of flowers. The Ten Thousand Gu Sect had accumulated countless poisonous insects and poisonous Gu. The three-day flower was of little use to other monks, but it was an indispensable and important material for the Ten Thousand Gu Sect.
Especially some powerful and extremely poisonous poison Gus, they had to rely on the three-day flower to survive. Therefore, every year, the Ten Thousand Gu Sect will send someone to Huangsha City to take a trip and purchase a large number of three-day flowers. The Yanjia Chamber of Commerce relies on this transaction every year, and it can almost meet the needs of the entire Chamber of Commerce throughout the year.
Yin Xuege clicked his lips and looked at the members of the Chamber of Commerce in the Stone Forest.
The scale of this caravan was huge, and there were 10,000 ordinary people in charge of collecting medicines, all of whom were strong men with strong bodies and strong martial arts. According to the introduction of the old man with gold, each of these big men had to collect at least 300 catties of three-day flowers, so that they could get the promised reward in advance. Of course, the more they collect, the more rewards will be paid.
In addition to these herb pickers, there are also a hundred human monks in the caravan, all of whom are the middle-level backbone of the caravan and are responsible for managing the operation of the entire chamber of commerce. Among these monks, there were several middle-aged men with a strong bearing, and the aura they exuded made Yin Xuege tense, there was no doubt that they were all monks who had broken through the Jindan stage, or cultivated to the Yuan Infant, or even had higher strength.
All that's left is two thousand lizard humanitarians.
The weakest of these lizard humanist soldiers have also stepped into the Qi Cultivation Realm, and most of them have the strength of the high-level Qi Training. Among them are dozens of Jindan-level lizardmen, which are the core of the lizard humane soldiers. Each of these Jindan-level lizardmen was nearly two meters tall, with knotted muscles all over their bodies, and they were all wearing heavy metal armor, and there were several subordinates around them waiting at any time.
In the vast stone forest, the caravan of medicine pickers were counting their harvest and registering it with the human monks. It is not an easy task to count all the harvests of 10,000 medicine pickers.
The whole stone forest was full of busyness, and the three-day flowers that had been counted were carefully packed into cloth bags, neatly packaged, and then stacked on special carts.
The proportion of the three-day flower is extremely small, and the volume of millions of catties of three-day flowers is huge, and the Yan Family Chamber of Commerce obviously does not have enough storage magic weapons to load these harvests, a total of nearly a thousand special carts shaped like sleighs, one by one are full.
Yin Xuege sat beside the golden old man, looking at the wooden carts, and couldn't help but shake his head.
"Senior Jin, your big cart has to be dragged and slid on the desert by animal power, and weishenme doesn't directly make it into a flying magic car? ”
The old man Youjin was slightly stunned, he looked at Yin Xuege in surprise, and only shook his head and smiled after a while.
A middle-aged man sitting next to the golden old man smiled brightly, stretched out his hands and smiled at Yin Xuege: "Little brother, I'm afraid that he has never been in business? ”
Yin Xuege was stunned, and immediately laughed self-deprecatingly, he glanced at the busy medicine pickers and caravan monks, and couldn't help but shake his head: "So that's the case, but I thought badly." ”
Old Man Youjin looked at Yin Xuege thoughtfully, and he said in a deep voice: "Little brother, you don't seem to have suffered hardship, but you don't know that we, the caravan, can save a little if we can save a little, and no one is willing to do what you said, little brother." Using a speeding car to transport goods, the cost of spirit stones is more expensive than the value of these goods. ”
Breaking off a small wooden branch and throwing it into the bonfire, the old man Jin smiled and asked Yin Xuege: "Little brother, you are unfortunately displaced here, and you don't know what your plans are in the future?" ”
The corners of Yin Xuege's mouth twitched, and he didn't say anything for a long time.
He looked up at the sky, and the three red suns were already hanging on the western horizon, and the full moon was reflecting a faint red light. The whole desert was as bright red as if it had been smeared with blood. The shiver was struck. Yin Xuege reluctantly discovered, no wonder the heaven and earth aura of this Flame Demon Desert was so rich?
Feelings are not the lower realm here, but the upper realm, that is, the legendary fairy realm?
I just didn't expect it. There are such mortals in the fairy world. There are such monks, too! And they are the same as those in Hongmeng Benlu. I'm also busy making money, supporting my family, and making ends meet.
He groaned for a long time. Yin Xuege asked carefully, "I don't know, where is the Immortal Court?"
The old man Youjin was stunned, while the middle-aged man beside him widened his eyes and looked Yin Xuege up and down. After a while, the middle-aged man smiled bitterly: "If the little brother is telling the Zhou Tian Ten Thousand Realms and ruling the Immortal Court of the entire Immortal Realm, it is really far away." ”
After saying a few words, Yin Xuege's heart suddenly sank.
The immortal realm is vast and boundless, and the immortal court that commands the entire immortal realm is located in the supreme immortal realm at the core of the immortal realm. And the Fire Spirit Realm is just a small planet, belonging to the most remote, weakest, most barren, and most unknown kind of poor countryside in the Immortal Realm.
Going from the Flame Spirit Realm to the outside world, either there are enough immortal stones to drive that Ancient Starry Sky Great Shifting Immortal Array, and then you can reach the Liangyi Star where the Ten Thousand Gu Sect is located. But every time he used the Starry Sky Great Shifting Immortal Array, he would have to spend dozens of high-grade immortal stones, which was a huge amount of wealth, and except for a few big shili controllers in the Fire Spirit Realm, no one else could come up with such a sum of money.
As for how to go to other areas after arriving at Liangyi Star, this is not something that Old Man Jin knows. In the entire Yellow Sand City, except for the ancestor of the Yan Family Chamber of Commerce, who had left the Yan Spirit Realm and traveled for three thousand years, no one else had ever left this land.
Between the Fire Spirit Realm and the Liangyi Star, there was also a great power that tried to challenge the vast starry sky and fly across the sky with a flying magic weapon on its own. But that time the flying crossing was finally a fiasco, and five scattered immortals with more than three tribulations joined forces to fly across the void, which took three hundred years, and in the end, only one scattered immortal was seriously injured and retreated, and all the magic weapons and flying swords all over his body were consumed.
After returning to the Fire Spirit Realm, he didn't have time to explain what happened along the way, and his soul flew away and died.
"All, there must be many, many immortal stones before you can leave the Fire Spirit Realm and go to the outside world. The old man Youjin looked at Yin Xuege helplessly: "But little brother, you are penniless now, and it is basically impossible to leave the Flame Spirit Realm." ”
Yin Xuege sighed helplessly, he frowned and looked at the sky, and clenched his fists hard.
If you can't leave for a while, then you can continue to cultivate here with peace of mind. Anyway, with Youquan and Blood Parrot to accompany him, relying on his qualifications, Yin Xuege didn't believe that he couldn't break through a road to heaven.
He still remembered that when he was testing his spiritual root in the first family, the three ancestors of heaven, earth and people were shocked and ecstatic. There must be something wrong with his spiritual roots, there's no doubt about it. His spiritual root is definitely not the so-called genuine spiritual root of the three ancestors, it must be a spiritual root that is many times better than the real spiritual root. So, does he have an immortal spiritual root, or a legendary holy product?
No matter what kind of spiritual root it is, in the Flame Spirit Realm, where the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is so abundant, with such a haode spiritual root, if Yin Xuege can't break out of a path, he will really look down on himself.
After a night of silence, Yin Xuege stopped in the caravan under the care of the old man Youjin.
He was unfamiliar with life in the Yan Spirit Realm, so instead of wandering around aimlessly, it was better to follow the old man Jin to Huangsha City to find a temporary rest, and then make other considerations. Whether it's finding a way to go to the Supreme Immortal Realm, or cultivating hard, it's a time-consuming thing, and it's not in a hurry.
Early the next morning, after a busy night, the caravan finally counted all the harvests, and the individual harvests of the 10,000 herb pickers were also registered. Yin Xuege stood beside the old man Youjin, watching the monks report to him. Among the 10,000 herb pickers this time, the one who harvested the most actually collected 1,300 catties of three-day flowers, and the least one who collected 570 catties.
10,000 herb pickers, this time a total of 7.4 million catties of three-day flowers were collected, and this harvest is much more than in previous years.
The old man Youjin laughed so much that his face was wrinkled, and he smiled happily at Yin Xuege: "It seems that the little brother has brought us good luck." Seven million catties of three-day flowers, according to the price of previous years, a piece of low-grade immortal stone can be exchanged for one hundred catties. This is 74,000 low-grade immortal stones. That is, nearly eight high-grade immortal stones, which is enough for everyone in our Yan Family Chamber of Commerce to chew for three years. ”
Hearing the words of the old man Youjin, Yin Xuege couldn't help grinning.
Seventy-four thousand lower-grade immortal stones were exchanged for less than eight high-grade immortal stones. It is enough for so many people in the Yan Family Chamber of Commerce to eat for three years. I want to leave the Fire Spirit Realm and go to Hao Haixing with the help of the Teleportation Immortal Array. At least dozens of high-grade immortal stones will be consumed. That's a lot of work.
The old man's eyebrows moved, he seemed to think of something, and he lowered his voice. He admonished Yin Xuege: "Little brother, I see that you are innocent and innocent, but you don't know the sinister outside, so I kindly remind you." Don't think about going to Liangyi Star with the help of the Liliang of the Ten Thousand Gu Sect, the seniors of the Ten Thousand Gu Sect, although they are the big customers of our Chamber of Commerce, they are also ...... 'powerful' characters that no one dares to provoke and no one dares to offend. ”
Saying the word 'awesome', the old man Jin couldn't help but lower his voice, and his voice trembled a little.
Yin Xuege suddenly understood the joints, that was not a powerful character, but a vicious character, right? Wan Gu Sect, just listen to this name, you can know what path they are taking. Nodding seriously, Yin Xuege looked at the old man with gold gratefully, and also lowered his voice.
"Thank you for the guidance of Senior Jin, and the blood song is in my heart, so naturally I won't make that kind of mistake. ”
With a long roar, a huge earth dragon slowly emerged from the sand on the side. It is a giant creature with a body length of more than 300 meters, the size of a large mountain, and a mixture of earthworms and pangolins. His carapace was very heavy, and a room with a radius of more than ten meters was pierced in the carapace in the middle of his back, and a small formation wrapped the entire room impermeable, although the earth dragon was drilled out of the ground, but there was no sand in the room at all.
At the invitation of the old man Youjin, Yin Xuege took Youquan and the blood parrot into the house on the back of the dragon.
The same twelve earth dragons emerged from the nearby ground, and these gigantic and powerful creatures were strapped to hundreds of reins, dragging the long convoy, driven by two thousand lizard humanitarians, slowly towards the edge of the desert.
The 10,000 herb pickers either sat on the high pile of medicine bags in the cart, sat on the back armor of the earth dragon, or simply followed the team on foot. The mighty procession meandered along with the long chirping of the earth dragon and the dull running of the dune jumper.
Along the way, the huge caravan did not encounter any trouble, and a few Yin Xuege who were sitting in the caravan suspected that the monks with the strength above the Yuan Infant Realm released their own breath outward, and none of the poisonous insects and other things in the Flame Demon Desert dared to approach.
After walking in the direction of the sun rising every day for half a month, a rich green suddenly appeared in front of me.
There is an oasis with a radius of more than 300 miles, just dotted in the vast yellow sand. In the middle of the oasis stands a city without walls, a large number of high-rise towers, many of which are built from local materials in white and earthy yellow, mixed with the green trees are eye-catching.
The whole city was built around a lake in the middle of which was more than fifty miles square, and in the middle of the lake was a small island with a magnificent palace on it. Gold bricks and jade tiles, beautiful jade paving the ground, the huge hall continues to spray out auspicious light to the surroundings, a purple smoke in a three-legged incense burner in front of the palace rushed up more than a thousand zhang high, in the high air this purple smoke turned into countless silk threads and fell around, like a big net to wrap the entire city in it.
Yin Xuege looked at the city with great interest, and didn't notice the shouts of the old man Jin for a while.
Youquan gently touched Yin Xuege's arm, and then he came back to his senses, and embarrassedly saluted the old man with a fist: "Senior Youjin, the kid has never seen a city in this kind of oasis, and he lost his mind for a while, please forgive me." ”
The old man nodded with a smile, he wiped his face and pointed to the city in front of him.
"Little friend of Blood Song, this is Huangsha City. In this city, my Yan family can still speak a few words. I see that you don't have a place to stay for a while, so why don't you stay in my Yan Family Chamber of Commerce for the time being?"
Yin Xuege looked at the old man with gold in surprise, was silent for a while, patted the broken Qianji Qilin arm, Yin Xuege smiled bitterly: "The seniors are kind, how dare the kid not follow? ”
The old man Youjin laughed so much that his beard was curled, and he shook his head again and again: "Don't bother, don't bother, my old man still has a bit of knowledge, the little friend of Blood Song and you, the little maid, will definitely not be mortals in the future, and the old man will not be able to get rid of Xiaoyou in the future." ”
While talking and laughing, the convoy had already arrived outside the city, and a monk master of the caravan took out a purple jade talisman and shook it towards the sky, and the purple smoke barrier that enveloped the entire Yellow Sand City opened a gap that was large enough to accommodate the entry and exit of the huge earth dragon.
Dozens of lizard humanitarian soldiers surrounded a few gorgeously dressed men and hurried up to greet them, and a middle-aged man laughed loudly: "There is Manager Jin, it seems that this time the harvest is not small! Hey, can you have four million catties?"
The old man Youjin poked his head out of the room on the back of the earth dragon, and greeted the middle-aged man with a smile: "Good news to the young master, we have collected 7.4 million catties of three-day flowers this time!"
The middle-aged man and a few people accompanying him were happy, the two sides got together, and the caravan quickly entered Huangsha City, came to the station of the Yan Family Chamber of Commerce and began to unload the goods, and stored the goods in the warehouse.
The entire Chamber of Commerce is busy nervously, and that's it, the old man has not forgotten to settle them down for Yin Xuege.
Under the orders of the old man Youjin, several servants took Yin Xuege and them to a neat and clean small courtyard, and placed them in this courtyard. (To be continued......)
