Chapter 38 We are a team!
"My friend, Liang Haishun, has met Su Xiaoyou."
Just sent out the tender Guo Qiaolian, here comes another old and disgraceful Liang Haishun.
This man looks very old, but he controls the wind. His golden robes rustle in the wind, and he has an air of immortality.
Su Qing did not dare to neglect this long-famous first-order formation mage, and quickly returned the favor and treated him politely.
This was Liang Haishun's first time dealing with Su Qing. There had been no outstanding puppet masters in Baiyunfang City before.
Since Shopkeeper Liu has put Su Qing together with them, he must have certain attainments in puppetry.
As an old man in the city, Liang Haishun still doesn't mind dealing with these rising stars and building a good relationship.
And Su Qing didn't mind building friendship with a formation master. Unlike Zhang Hai, who was a dabbler, this one had been recruited by the Yunshan Sect for his formation attainments.
Both of them intended to get to know each other, and after a few words, the relationship became warm.
Liang Haishun was told by Su Qing: In Baiyunfang City, the one who carries the flag with the formation is none other than Taoist friends. He stroked his beard and squinted his eyes happily, and was in a good mood.
My eyes scanned the puppets on the front, back, and left of Su Qing, and he smiled again:
“I have seen cautious people, but I have never seen fellow Daoist Su be so cautious. With so many puppets released, it consumes It's not small.
In fact, you don't have to be like this. The war cultivators sent by Baibao Pavilion to escort you this time are all elites. As long as you are not facing a foundation-building overhaul or a second-level monster, you will be safe on this trip. It’s okay.”
Among the professionals employed by Baibao Pavilion, Su Qing also knew that he was too nervous, and he was so nervous when he didn’t see the weapon refiner He Lianxian. Did you fall asleep on the instrument?
Hey! The weapon refiner can make money. Where he is sitting is a first-order high-grade magic weapon, a light-tracing mat, and a bunch of spiritual crystals are flying with him!
Although I know that my behavior is somewhat out of place.
But Su Qing was not prepared to take the puppet back. If he didn't want to know more about this team, he would even be ready to hide in Xiong Er's hiding hole.
This team is indeed an elite team. Even professionals like them are all talents. If they really want to fight, their role may not be smaller than that of those war cultivators.
But the stronger the team, the less courageous he becomes.
Shopkeeper Liu then said that he would send someone to escort him to the hunting area to train his legs.
But does leg training require such a big battle?
With just such a team pulled out, the so-called four major forces in the hunting area are not enough even if they are united together.
In Su Qing's view, these war cultivators are said to protect them and serve them, but based on the team configuration, he feels that they, professionals, serve the war cultivators.
There are weapon refiners who can repair magic weapons.
A spiritual doctor who is always available to save people and heal their wounds.
The formation master who arranges the formation.
A flute player who can play music and add various effects.
·····
These professionals plus war cultivators say they are going to the hunting area to do business, but in fact they are more like a fully equipped team!
At least, in Su Qing's opinion, the few spiritual crystals they earned from the monks in the hunting area might not even be enough to pay for the escort of these war monks.
Only by forming a team to hunt more valuable prey can we explain why this team is of such a size!
And what kind of monster will such a team deal with?
First level ultimate demon king?
Even a second-order monster?
No matter what it is, Su Qing feels that it is still necessary to be steady.
And he could see it, how could an old man like Liang Haishun not see it.
Seeing that he just shook his head and said nothing, Liang Haishun nodded clearly and said:
"Did fellow Taoist see that Liu Sanquan was unkind?
The slippery man was afraid that we would not come if we knew the situation, but in fact, except for the young fellow Taoist fellow Taoist Guo and a few other new Taoist fellows, I, Helian Xian and other old men already knew what he was going to do.
Forget about Ma Tuan leading the team, even Qing He was released. He was preparing for the auction three months later. He probably wanted to hunt a second-level monster and get a demon pill for the Baibao Pavilion. Hold up the scene! "
Liang Haishun seemed to understand shopkeeper Liu's intentions very well and was very confident in his verbal judgment. Su Qing was stunned: "Auction? Is it the Baiyun Auction organized by the Yunshan Sect and the major merchants in Fang City to show their strength? "
"Huh, it's just a way for the Yunshan Sect to exploit the major merchants. One small thing will be done every three years, and one big thing will be done every ten years. The major merchants will lose money and make a profit. Let's break up. Repairing won't take much advantage.
On the other hand, the Yunshan Sect charges commissions and earns spiritual crystals in vain. ”
Liang Haishun snorted coldly, extremely dissatisfied with the Yunshan Sect's behavior.
In addition to the extremely high taxes and fees in the markets controlled by this sect, there are also continuous activities such as organizing auctions and other activities, and exploiting merchants and casual cultivators.
Su Qing also smiled bitterly and shook his head. When he first came to Baiyunfang City, he had seen an auction. At that time, he was not qualified to go inside to watch it. He just set up a stall outside and took advantage of the crowds of people. More, earning a few more spiritual crystals than before.
In the past few years, he has been busy, but he did not expect that a few years have passed in the blink of an eye, and this auction is about to be held.
This time, it is an auction held once every ten years, and the scale is estimated to be even larger than the last time.
According to the rules, the merchants in the central area must produce enough items to satisfy the Yunshan Sect, and thus determine the location of their respective stores in the central area and the taxes and fees they will bear in the next ten years.
“If that’s the case, it’s no wonder that Shopkeeper Liu wants to pay attention to the second-level monsters. The significance of the second-level beast pill for physical cultivation is the same as that of the foundation-building pill.
< br>Getting a second-level beast elixir can keep Baibao Pavilion’s current position in the central area.”
Su Qing nodded and said, just know the goal of this team, even though the goal is not good. I have to deal with it, but at least I have confidence in my heart, which makes me feel more at ease than when I think about it.
“One is not enough. In that auction ten years ago, Baibao Pavilion only managed to get through with two foundation-building pills and a few second-level magic weapon puppets!
< br>
This time, the Yunshan Sect has been fighting one after another and is exploiting the major cities even more heavily. Baibao Pavilion must at least come up with more things than last time! "
Liang Haishun stroked his beard, then pointed at Helian Xian, who had his eyes lowered and was pretending to sleep, and said:
"So, if I'm waiting for someone like this, I can just set up a stall if I have nothing to do. But don't open a store in the central area. You may think that you will make more money by opening a store, but in fact, most of it will go to the Yunshan Sect.
Look at this old man Helian. He is such a small shop and can’t even afford a waiter. For this auction, he will at least bring out a first-level high-grade magic weapon. It is estimated that the spirit he will get is Jing, only one-third of what he sold to others! "
Liang Haishun had a little pride on his face. How smart he is. He would set up a stall when he was happy. If he wasn't happy, he wouldn't do business when others came to him. He could just be a casual cultivator freely. Picture this!
Su Qing had no intention of opening a store. His temperament meant that he was always ready to run away and open some kind of store.
But sometimes when I go to the central area and see the endless flow of customers in various shops, I actually feel a little envious.
But now, after learning that even multinational stores like Baibao Pavilion have to keep their heads down and accept their orders when they come to Baiyunfang City to do business, they are even less interested in opening a store.
The two chatted for a while, during which Guo Qiaolian, who had fed the white-tusked elephant, and professionals such as Ding Ping, a flute musician with a beautiful face and good looks, also joined in the chat. .
After some discussion, everyone felt that with the current configuration, there is not much risk in hunting a second-level monster.
Now that everyone is here, just keep walking. When you get to the hunting area, you can first use these war cultivators to support the scene and earn a lot of spiritual crystals from the casual cultivators.
Because we have the same stance and are all capable, we all had a great time chatting with each other. We all had a deeper understanding of each other and initially established a friendship.
Su Qingzuo said "senior" and "fellow Taoist" again. His mouth was dry when he said it. Fortunately, the harvest was not bad, at least he got into the upper circle of casual cultivators in Baiyunfang City.
At this time, it was getting dark, and the team also arrived at Lingtian District in Fang City.
Outside Lingtian District, an old monk who had long been in contact with Baibao Pavilion led the way and led everyone to temporarily stay in a village.
Haojia Village.
It is not far from Gejia Village, but only five or six miles away.
Their group will stay in this village for one night, and then completely leave the protection area of Fangshi, entering the private farmland area cultivated by the Lingzhi farmers outside Fangshi, and then the hunting area in the barren mountains and rivers.
Because the team will not pass through Gejia Village, Su Qing plans to make a trip to Gejia Village alone before setting off tomorrow morning to clearly hand over the goods and payment.
