Chapter 22       Taobao

Santong City is located in the middle of the border between Huzhu Kingdom and Yunling Kingdom. Although it belongs to Huzhu Kingdom, due to its proximity to Yunling Kingdom, people from Yunling Kingdom account for a large proportion of the people coming and going here.

The Santong City is called Santong, but due to its geographical advantage, it can be said to be smooth in all directions. It has the Jile Palace in the north and Wandan Hall in the south. The key is that it is at the center of the character shape of Renwumen, Shifang Hall and Baihua Hall. Under the rule of the city lord Ouyang Yingdao, it is prosperous and noisy, and it is a brilliant scenery of the Huzhu Kingdom and even the entire eastern forces.

Although Ouyang Yingdao is only in the late stage of the Nine Turns and is not from the top ten forces today, no one in the entire eastern force dares to underestimate him. This is not only related to the guards under his command. I heard that his guards are all strong and the highest has reached the realm of the earth immortals. This is second to the key is that he has given birth to several good children. Ouyang Yingdao has three wives, the eldest and second wives have not made any debut, but his third wives are very successful and have given birth to three sons and a daughter for him. His three sons are all disciples of Shifang Hall. They are all soul cultivators. Not only have good cultivation, but also have a high status in Shifang Hall. His only daughter is better than the three brothers. Not only has she joined the Hall of Light, she heard that she has become one of the Ten Palm Halls of Light, and her cultivation has entered the realm of Tianxian.

Under the governance of such a powerful and background-based city lord, Santong City not only has good public security, but also has a smooth development. Many transactions, whether ordinary people or practitioners, are willing to set up a small stall here, either seeking a way to make a fortune or exchanging what they need. The word "Taobao" that the eastern forces are celebrating has started to spread here.

According to legend, there is a martial artist who is not very high in realm. He found a magic weapon of heaven here. From then on, he used this magic weapon to fight with people who are one level higher than him. In the end, he was revenged and was passed down as a good story by the entire eastern forces.

Bai Fei has no chance to get in touch with magic weapons yet. Although he vaguely feels that his Divine Heaven Ring is a high-level magic weapon, and the alchemy furnace left by the Wandan Hall senior and the medicine cauldron in Yun Ling's hand are all magic weapons with higher levels, but he has never seen a truly aggressive magic weapon. He only learned from the old man Tianxuan that in the cultivation world, if the level of magic weapons is not high, it actually does not have much effect for those who really pursue cultivation. However, for cultivators below the Dan Killing Stage, even ordinary weapons or magic weapons will play a very critical role in battle. For example, for two people who have just entered the cultivation world, one has bare hands and the other has a weapon in hand. The victory or defeat is obvious.

Standing in this bustling market, even Bai Fei secretly admired. Not to mention the magnificent shops, let alone the endless gambling stone shops, and even the dazzling array of items on both sides of the street will make people dizzy.

The first thing Yun Ling did was to buy more than a dozen sets of skirts of different colors, which made Yao Jie very confused.

"Give it, let it..."

The three of them had just collected some strange and fun things and were wandering around when they were suddenly rushed to the side by a group of guards dressed up in high-end clothes. Bai Fei didn't want to cause trouble, so he consciously avoided it. After a while, three heroic men with heroic faces roared by on the mighty horse.

"The master of the guards is here, and I don't know who has eaten the courage of the bear heart and leopard. He dares to make trouble here. Let's take a look." Someone in the crowd said in a low voice.

Bai Fei and the other two looked at each other and followed everyone forward.

"Second Fatty, this is your wrong thing. People's bids are higher than you, so the things are naturally their own. What are you still making trouble here?"

Bai Fei came to the front and happened to hear one of the three strong men riding horses say.

"Brother Ouyang, how dare you brother?" A man with a wide body and fat body immediately came up and nodded and said, obviously they knew each other.

The third brother Ouyang is a junior relative of the city lord Ouyang Yingdao. His full name is Ouyang Chisun. He and the sixth and seventh brothers behind him are both from the eight major guards in Santong City. The three were assigned to manage the public security of this market. When they heard the report, there was a conflict here, and then they rushed over.

"The sir is here just right. These two young men can't argue. The old man is still waiting to take off his hands?" the old man from the stall owner said.

"Old man, what exactly can make people fight for this?" Ouyang Chisun said.

"It's this..." the old man moved a pot of bonsai over and said.

I saw a plant like grass in the pot of soil fluttering in the wind. Two small leaf buds were supported on the thin stems, shaking with the wind, as if they could break it by accident.

"Old man, are you kidding? What kind of mess is this that can make people rush to buy it?" Ouyang Chisun laughed.

"My lord doesn't know that when I got this thing, I was already like this. I have carefully cultivated it for forty years, but it is still the case. My lord, if it is an ordinary thing, it should have grown in less than a year, but I have carefully cultivated it forty years, but it..."

"It seems really strange, old man, it's not that you used the wrong method, right?"

"I originally thought that my cultivation method was wrong, but I asked several talented people in Wandan Hall, but they couldn't even tell me why. When I thought, I was old now and half of my foot had stepped into the coffin, so I took it out, hoping that some strange people could solve the mystery."

"What happened to them? Why do you still have a dispute over this?"

"The old man has always abides by the rules of the adults. The so-called higher price will be the result. This young man bids a higher price, so..."

"Hey, old man, it should be said that you are greedy for money, which is the right thing to do." The fat man shouted.

"Second fat man, I'll give you a chance, you tell me." Ouyang Chisun said.

"Brother Ouyang San, I had already discussed with this old man that I would exchange a hundred low-quality crystals for his bonsai, but because I didn't have enough crystals..."

"Can you still be so poor?" Ouyang Chisun laughed loudly, and even the sixth and seventh brothers behind him could not help laughing.

"No, I did, so I did, I don't... I have contributed it there..." As he said, he pointed to a gambling stone shop not far away.

"No wonder, how much did you lose this time?"

"Not many, maybe one or two hundred medium-grade crystals!"

The second fat man said easily, but the people around him couldn't help but feel scared and sweated. This was too much of a loser. Among these people, some of them could not even get two or two hundred medium-grade crystals in their lives, but he was fine. He even squandered one or two hundred medium-grade crystals in one gambling stone. That was a medium-grade one.

"Second Fatty, your father's family business will be ruined sooner or later. OK, I won't say much nonsense, what's going on here?"

"Brother Ouyang San, I'm just because I'm tight on my hands, and the old man agreed to exchange it for me at this price. I asked the young man to go back and take it for me. Unexpectedly, my servant has not come back yet, and the old man wants to sell it to someone else. Originally, I didn't understand this thing, and I just bought it for fun. But at this critical moment, someone actually came to steal my things. Are you angry?"

"Hey, what are you calling you? How many crystals have you produced?"

"Xiaoke bid for one hundred and one low-quality crystal!" the man dressed in a scribe replied lightly.

"Only one more yuan? You...you...third brother, look, are they trying to indulge me?" The second fat man only realized the price of the scholar, and his face was so angry that he was shaking.

"Old man, have you really forgotten the reason for coming first and then coming for this crystal?"

"Sir, the villain dare not. But I saw that this master's crystal hasn't been waiting for a long time. Am I in a hurry to go home? That's it..."

"So that's the case, it's not your fault. Okay, don't argue with such trivial matters. All the previous ones will be cancelled. This thing will be re-sold, and the higher the price will be."

"I'll produce 102 low-quality crystals!" The second fat man started yelling first.

"Fatty, don't act irritating. Are you afraid that there will be no good things? Two days later, there will be places you spend in the city. It's better not to have this garbage. Listen to me. I'll invite you to drink in the evening-" Ouyang Chisun said with a smile.

"Okay, I'll listen to you. Now I'll invite my three brothers to Zuihualou for a drink." The second fat man clapped his hands.

"We are on duty, don't ask us to make mistakes. Besides, aren't you penniless now?"

"This slave, oh brother, I'm not talking about you, I'm talking about that slave in my family, I haven't come back yet, see if I don't break his legs."

"I'll produce 150 low-quality crystals."

With this call, even Ouyang Chisun was about to leave, he couldn't help but pause. He didn't expect that someone would raise the price for such an inexplicable thing. Looking at the voice, he saw Bai Fei with a calm face.

When the old man took out the thing, Bai Fei felt a pain in his dantian and his mind inexplicably. After the old man explained the strangeness of the bonsai, he was puzzled. Anyway, he got a lot of low-quality crystals from Lanhua Langjun, so he wanted to buy luck.

Yun Ling and Yao Jie were confused when they heard his bid, but they didn't say anything.

"I'll pay two hundred yuan!" The scholar thought he would get it smoothly, but he didn't expect to be stabbed horizontally and gritted his teeth.

When the second fat man saw that he had met an opponent, he was so happy that he was repaid in this life.

"Three hundred yuan!" Bai Fei said lightly.

"Five hundred yuan!" The scholar glared at Bai Fei and continued to shout.

Everyone didn't think that the thing was valuable, they just thought that Bai Fei was here to make trouble, but under the rule of "the higher the price" it would be understandable if this was really a mess.

"A medium-grade crystal stone!" Bai Fei shouted.

As soon as this price was released, the scholar suddenly felt cold sweat. Although a medium-grade crystal was only one thousand low-grade crystals, it was not something you could get if you wanted to. In the black market, sometimes two or three thousand low-grade crystals were difficult to exchange for a medium-grade crystal.

"This young master..." the old man turned to the literary scholar and said.

"I don't want it anymore." As he said that, he stared at Bai Fei hatefully and quickly left through the crowd.

"Young Master, it's yours."

The old man happily took the medium-grade crystal from Bai Fei and handed the bonsai to his hand. Bai Fei didn't even look at it, but put it into the Divine Heaven Ring. Anyway, it is normal for a cultivator to have a storage ring, and he is not worried about what others have to think.

"Let's go." Ouyang Chisun glanced at Bai Fei meaningfully and said to the second fat man and the two brothers.

Bai Feijing was a man. Although he was familiar with the fat man, he had no intention of favoritism at all. He was decisive and fair in his actions. Seeing him looking at him, he nodded slightly.

These people came and walked quickly, and disappeared in the blink of an eye, and the streets immediately resumed shouts.

Bai Fei and the other two wandered around for a while. Although they didn't meet any strange things again, they collected a lot of strange things. Seeing that it was still early, the three of them finally discussed and borrowed a stall and set up a stall. Bai Fei put all the low-level magic cores, the corpses of the monsters, and some low-level pills on it. Unexpectedly, in less than an hour, they were purchased and exchanged for countless low-grade crystal stones.
