Chapter 135 Too Cautious (Thanks to Xiaojiang xj for the 100 coin reward)
The valley entrance in Taichangfang City is very wide, compared to the several secluded paths in Taihangfang City.
There is only one broad road here, and apart from that, only Master Zifu can fly freely in Fang City.
Above the valley entrance, this place is also different. It is full of red red clouds, and the sky here is fixed.
"Although there are some flattering elements today, this is the most real heaven!" Ye Haiyi said meaningfully from the side.
Ye Jingcheng also looked at the highest mountain peak in the distance.
Then he shook his head and turned around, continuing to look at both sides of the valley. When he entered the entrance of the valley, he saw several monks wearing robes guarding Fangshikou:
"Enter Fangshi You need to pay two spirit stones, and you can only stay for five days. After that, for every ten days, you have to pay one spirit stone when you go out. Any less than ten days will be counted as ten days!" The broad-faced monk who led him was extremely serious, and looked at the two of them. His eyes were also a bit contemptuous.
However, this kind of contempt made them quite satisfied.
After all, they are indeed relatively weak casual cultivators now.
While they were hesitating, many monks paid their spirit stones, obtained a token, and entered the market with the token.
Ye Jingcheng has long heard about the need to pay spirit stones in Dafang City, although he feels a little heartbroken.
But fortunately, the spirit stone this time is recorded in the family.
Otherwise, if you stay in Fangshi, you will get three spirit stones in one month, which is higher than the basic annual salary of a monk in the middle stage of Ye family's Qi training!
"You've got the token. If you don't have the token, you will be expelled. Also, don't cause trouble and fight in the city, otherwise, you can't afford the consequences!" After the broad-faced monk finished speaking, he took out the token. He got two tokens and slapped them on both of them.
The two of them were not annoyed, took the token and walked inside.
Passing through a gatehouse and seeing alleys bustling with traffic, I felt a sudden sense of enlightenment.
This is not just a city, this is clearly a city of monks!
What they just entered was a city gate.
At both ends of the city gate, there are various alchemy and weapon refining shops.
At the door of the shop, there were monks wearing coarse linen clothes, looking towards the city gate.
When you meet a monk who is gorgeously dressed and elegant, you will approach him and strike up a conversation.
On the contrary, for Ye Jingcheng and the other two, no one came over. It took a long time before a thin black-faced monk came over.
"Is it the first time for these two seniors to come to Taichangfang City?"
"This Taoist friend must not harm my second grandfather and grandson. He cannot build the foundation. Let's talk to the seniors and juniors. ?”
"But having said that, this is indeed the first time for our two grandsons to come to this city!"
"This city is indeed the Xianmen City, far superior to other cities!" Ye Haiyi said.
“Of course, there are Jindan monks stationed in this city all year round. There are four Jindan family forces, seven Zifu forces, and there are as many foundation building forces as crucian carp crossing the river. If you open a store here, at least They are all foundation-building forces, so no other city can compare!”
“And most of the casual cultivators are waiting here for two grand events!”
“One is! The Immortal Ascension Conference uses martial arts to ascend to the Taiyi Sect. Even casual cultivators like you and me, as long as they are talented or have a certain skill, will have a chance!"
"The second is the auction. This auction not only sells Foundation Establishment Pills, it is said that there is a big auction every thirty years, but also Zifu spiritual objects are for sale!"
"There are still more days left until the auction. For two decades, when the time comes, there will be monks at the gate of the city!" The thin-faced young man spoke with a sense of pride.
He gestured with his hands, including the city gate and the end of the street.
Ye Jingcheng also observed that among the shops at the city gate, only a few did not have three floors.
In Fang City, the background power of this shop can be judged from the floor of the shop. Qi training is on the first floor, foundation building power is on the two floors, and Zifu power is on the third floor!
This is common to Taihangfang City.
"Senior, do you need a guide? I have been living in the city since I was a child!" The black-faced monk still spoke.
Of course, he also had the attitude of giving it a try.
Because he saw that the conversation between these two people was unusual. One was practicing Qi at the ninth level, and the other was practicing at the eighth level.
And the most important thing is to be willing to talk.
"How much do you charge?"
"Three Spirit Stones take two days to understand all the market needs. The advantages and disadvantages of each store are also summarized below. Even the forces behind them can be explained below. Two..." When it came to charging, the thin-faced monk was immediately overjoyed.
This is a trend to close a deal, so start showing off in a format.
“An old friend just sent me a message, sorry!” Ye Haiyi left directly afterwards.
Ye Jingcheng, who was beside him, followed immediately, but his sickly face looked a little tired.
The monk was left with a face full of self-doubt, but he could only retreat with his head downcast.
Ye Jingcheng followed Ye Haiyi walking on the street.
In the bottom of his heart, he remembered a steward his elder brother Ye Jingteng told him.
But this time they came incognito, so naturally they couldn't make a big splash here.
Crossing the street and going to the side is a square. In the center of the square is a pillar covered with various animal patterns.
This pillar still exudes spiritual light and seems to be a great treasure.
A large number of stalls are distributed around the pillars in a circular shape facing the outside.
When Ye Jingcheng looked around, he felt that there were treasures everywhere, and he was a little overwhelmed for a while.
The lively scene inside also made him a little curious.
Compared with the dazzling array of shops, the treasures on this street stall are more attractive to casual cultivators and young monks.
After all, it has always been said that casual cultivators have poor eyesight and there are many treasures that can be missed.
Of course, Ye Jingcheng also knew that this was rhetoric.
It's just the atmosphere created by the casual cultivators, but in fact, these casual cultivators are very shrewd, and their ability to observe words and emotions is even better than that of the family monks.
Of course, for Ye Jingcheng, he has another advantage. He can distinguish between good spiritual plant seeds and spiritual beasts.
"Brother Tang!" A voice was heard in the distance, and then a fat-headed and big-eared monk came hobbling over.
"Brother Meng!" Ye Haiyi also shook hands.
The two stood hugging each other.
It took a long time to look at Ye Jingcheng.
"Hao Bo is good. We haven't seen him for several years, and he has already reached the eighth level of Qi training!" "Master Meng, thank you!" Ye Jingcheng also said.
He knew this person's information from the jade slips. This person's name was Meng Xuan, and he was a close friend of Mr. Tang!
He also runs a reselling business in Fangshi. He has two sons, but neither of them have spiritual roots. He only has one grandson who has three spiritual roots. He is very precious and has made Meng Xuan think about the sect.
“The room has been arranged, should we take a stroll or go directly?”
“Let’s take a stroll, this time it’s for Hao Bo’s illness!” Ye Haiyi couldn’t help but sigh, with a full face on his face. It's downcast.
"This matter is a human matter and we must obey fate. There is no way that Haobo will be cured of his illness after breaking through the foundation building!" Meng Xuan said, but then he said no more.
Ye Jingcheng also started browsing the street stalls. However, his previous thoughts were obviously a little overthinking. Although there were some spiritual beast cubs for sale, the growth potential was not high.
In other words, there are a lot of discerning people here, and there are good spirit beast cubs that have been bought long ago, or put into big auctions.
On the other hand, there are some magical artifacts, ores and elixirs, and there are many high-quality products flowing out.
Of course, the most common ones are ordinary magic weapons, basic spells, ordinary materials, and even some selling tips on alchemy and weapon training, and the prices are quite high.
It can be seen that this world still attaches great importance to inheritance.
In addition, there are also many elixirs and elixir seeds.
Ye Jingcheng also saw a lot of rare elixirs, including several advanced elixirs of the Five Poison Bees. He spent dozens of spirit stones and called out the price several times before finally leaving. After threatening him, the stall owner relented.
"Haobo, yes, you have a bit of grandpa You's demeanor. These street stall owners all have the idea of killing every one they can, and they must not be tolerated!" Meng Xuan said next to him.
“It’s the Lingshi’s embarrassment that makes Master Meng laugh!” Ye Jingcheng shook his head and smiled bitterly.
"Haobo, this street stall will be unprecedentedly grand three days before the auction. At that time, there will be many foundation-building monks setting up stalls!" Meng Xuan continued to add next to him.
Then he took a look at the sky and looked at Ye Haiyi.
Meng Xuan led Ye Jingcheng and the others towards the group of bungalows.
Most of the places where casual cultivators live here are much cheaper than restaurants.
There is only one spiritual stone a month, so don’t feel that it is less. After all, if you are here, if you go out, you have to repay one spiritual stone every ten days.
This is the bigger number.
Some casual cultivators don’t even dare to leave the market!
And this is the clever thing about Fangshi, either you can create benefits within the Fangshi, or you will be exploited once you leave the Fangshi!
Of course, there are many places in the city that can generate income. Guides, waiters, and street stalls can all generate income from spiritual stones.
You must know that there is no charge for stalls in the square except for the center circle.
This is better than Taihangfang City.
In the bungalow group, there were many casual cultivators living there, including female cultivators. Not far away, Ye Jingcheng saw Xu Xiuqing, who was also here.
As if feeling Ye Jingcheng's gaze, Xu Xiuqing also raised her head and walked over.
"Little girl, thank you two Taoist friends for your kindness!"
"It's the fairy's own exquisite magic, it has nothing to do with me!" Ye Haiyi didn't want to pay attention.
He also turned around and walked into the room that Meng Xuan had prepared for Ye Jingcheng and his wife.
Ye Jingcheng naturally followed closely.
The layout of the house is very simple, with a bed, a table, and three stools, which would seem a little shabby in the mortal world.
However, in the world of cultivating immortals, there is only one spiritual stone and one month, which is extremely ironic.
Ye Haiyi took out the magic circle and arranged it around it.
After the arrangement was completed, he took out a jade slip and crushed it on the spot.
This jade slip is an induction jade slip.
In the world of immortality, there are two types of communication, one is the induction jade slip, and the other is the sound transmission talisman.
The former leaves no traces, the information is very small, and needs to be agreed in advance. The latter has a lot of content and can break through the formation, but there will also be a flash of aura.
Of course, there are some similarities and there are certain distance restrictions.
For example, here in Fangshi, it is absolutely impossible to transmit messages to the family.
After passing on the jade slips, Ye Haiyi breathed a sigh of relief.
It seems like half the job is done.
Ye Jingcheng took out some tea leaves and started making tea. Of course, this tea was ordinary Fan tea.
As a casual cultivator, making tea all day long is not in line with their current persona of sick and casual cultivators.
After pouring a drink for Ye Haiyi, the latter also looked at Ye Jingcheng thoughtfully:
"Do you think grandpa is too cautious?"
Ye Jingcheng shook his head, but there was still a trace of doubt in his eyes.
But when Ye Haiyi opened his sleeves, the red thousand rat had now transformed into a pocket-sized version, and he was clearly inside.
"People from the Li family, the Xu family, the Mo family, the Chen family, and the Chu family are here..." Ye Haiyi sighed.
Although he didn't use his spiritual sense, the Red Thousand Rat's ability to track scents thousands of miles away was unmistakable.
Over the years, the Ye family has naturally figured out the key figures of several major families.
"But don't be too nervous. Normally, no one will know that anyone from the Ye family has been here!"
"Including our seller!" Ye Haiyi was quite confident.
And Ye Jingcheng also nodded.
"There will be an alchemist auction in a few days. Your illness is caused by an incompatibility of congenital spiritual roots. Remember not to expose it. In addition, stay away from the woman named Xu!"
"At least for these two months, you have to be like this!" Maybe it feels harsh.
Ye Haiyi added a few more words.
Ye Jingcheng nodded. At this moment, anyone involved with Taihangfang City may be exposed.
