Chapter 323: Ultimate Realm Lord
It is said that it is to catch the wind and wash away the dust, so naturally it is impossible to just sit there.
In the following time, the Rongxia Village duo, who had settled in Linjiang City for more than a month, took Su Huai around the city.
I bought a lot of food at the market.
By the way, he also helped Su Huai find his most important target location in Laijiang City - the Chamber of Commerce!
Logically speaking, the largest business group in the God's Domain is derived from Jiubao City, with merchants and merchants scattered throughout the God's Domain.
However, the distribution of resident merchants of the Golden Skeleton clan is very strict. At least because a force with a territory that is in the late stage of the country and whose territory is broad enough is eligible to be assigned a Golden Skeleton merchant.
Linjiang City is obviously not qualified yet.
Therefore, the largest store in the city is an exchange established by the Human Chamber of Commerce called "Shop No. 13".
The exchange is divided into three floors and has a large area, but the items sold are not very high-end.
The few pieces of Imperial Realm materials were shelved and used as store treasures.
"The things here are not as valuable as the box on Skull Sang's back. How could there be the elixir I need..."
Seeing the disappointed look on Su Huai's face, the taciturn Captain Jin who had been following him suddenly explained:
"If you need something higher quality, you can come again tomorrow night."
"Come back tomorrow night?" Su Huai looked a little confused: "Is there any explanation for this?"
"Um."
"Things that are too precious cannot be completely digested by a single city, so Shop No. 13 imitates the Golden Skull Clan, and a group of traveling merchants will stay in major cities every month."
"Tomorrow will be exactly one month since the last time a businessman passed through Linjiang City. If we come back tomorrow night, we will see even more precious things."
"All right……"
Su Huai shook her head and followed Captain Jin out of the gorgeously decorated store No. 13.
No matter where you are, there is the so-called gap between rich and poor.
Linjiang City is not exempt from vulgarity.
The closer you get to the center of the city, the more prosperous it becomes. There are various industries and buildings related to cultivation there, and the store No. 13 you just went to is one of them.
Further outside, there are some entertainment venues, or places with higher consumption levels. The fish market where the Rongxia Village duo sells fish is on the middle floor.
The outermost periphery is naturally a place full of smoke and fire, where ordinary people live in order to survive.
As an outsider who fled, Captain Jin was unwilling to work for the city lord's palace, and his freedom was restricted. Naturally, he could only struggle on the edge as a casual cultivator.
The house they rent is located in a remote area of Linjiang City, and is also close to the city wall. If Linjiang City is attacked, they will naturally be the first to be unlucky...
Most of the people living here are poor people from the lower class.
The residence is a simple square courtyard, barely protected from wind and rain, and the rent only costs two gold skull coins a month.
Fortunately, Cao Jiaxue is a woman who loves life. After shedding the burden of being the village chief, Captain Jin is responsible for supporting the family, while she is responsible for daily life, keeping a simple small house in order, which is considered happiness on earth.
"Wait a minute, I'll bring a table out."
In this kind of environment, when meeting old friends again, the most suitable meal is simple and delicious hot pot.
Captain Jin drank some wine and finally started to talk more. He talked about the process of the two of them struggling all the way and narrowly escaping death to reach Linjiang City.
During this period, the remaining banyan power in Cao Jiaxue's body was also exhausted, and now she is a frail woman who has started practicing again.
Su Huai glanced at the smiling Cao Jiaxue. Captain Jin didn't know, but he had noticed since the morning that Cao Jiaxue was very weak and his soul fire was shaky...
No matter how hard you practice, you may not be able to surpass the third level, and you will only have a lifespan of a hundred years. This situation is even more serious than the injuries on Mr. Su's body.
He didn't say anything, he just silently took out a plate of sour oranges and placed it on the edge of the table.
"Village chief, come and have an orange."
Cao Jiaxue's hand paused, understanding that some things could not be hidden from Su Huai's eyes.
"Thanks."
She accepted Su Huai's kindness as usual, and while peeling an orange, she turned to look at Captain Jin who was smelling of alcohol.
From a hot-blooded village leader and a genius boy guarding his hometown, he became a fisherman who speared fish in the river every day, and became a low-level citizen in Linjiang City...
This change is difficult for anyone to accept.
After all, Captain Jin is just a young man with simple experience. For more than a month, he has been controlled by others in everything. No matter how optimistic his personality is, he must have a lot of grievances in his heart.
Perhaps he had missed the past days in his heart, and even regretted not leading the villagers to start anew and try to build a second Rongxia Village.
Cao Jiaxue looked at the chattering Captain Jin and wiped the wine stains from the corner of his mouth with a crooked eyebrow.
Captain Jin didn't know anything and was still telling the story of their thrilling journey. Feeling Cao Jiaxue's intimate behavior, he gave her a big piece of meat with a silly smile.
Su Huai:……
Even though I didn’t eat any oranges today, why are my back molars still so sore...
Crunch——
The door to the small courtyard was suddenly pushed open.
A girl wearing a light yellow dress walked into the courtyard. When she smelled the rich aroma of hot pot, she couldn't help but frown and glanced at Su Huai and the others.
"Tsk, you're just a friend, you don't want to make progress."
"I'll just be a fisherman my whole life."
Watching the girl say a few words and then enter the room and close the door, Captain Jin's expression darkened, but the smile on Cao Jiaxue's face did not diminish, and he only glanced at the girl's back lightly.
Only Su Huai could barely hold back.
The girl may not remember him very much, but he has not forgotten that girl.
Toned down maxi skirt…
Fluffy hair…
Isn't this the girl who solicits business at the entrance of the brothel and uses the charlatan as an oiran to lure Su Huai in to spend money?
Damn it, do you guys look down on fish sellers?
A fantasy version of laughing at the poor but not at prostitution?
Civilians are prohibited from killing each other in Linjiang City, and violators will be expelled from the country. Cao Jiaxue squeezed Captain Jin's arm to calm down his drunken anger.
Then he explained to Su Huai:
"That child's name is Huang Yuan, and her life experience is actually quite miserable..."
"oh?"
"She is the illegitimate daughter of a big family boss in the city. Things in the industry are so chaotic that we don't understand it. Anyway, her mother committed suicide for some reason when she was young, and she was kicked out of the house and lived on the streets."
"At first, she was adopted by a family and wanted to be a child bride for that family's son."
"It's a pity that when she grew up, she didn't care about her fiancé in name at all. She wanted to return to the upper class and was determined to marry into a big family. She also fell out with her adoptive parents because of this..."
Su Huai choked and coughed twice.
I really want to return to the upper circles.
Although brothels are indeed the place where it is easiest to come into contact with the rich and dandy children, in ancient times many talented men and powerful people took brothel girls as concubines.
But... to be able to access that level, you must at least be an oiran!
What is the level of an oiran? He is proficient in all kinds of music, chess, calligraphy and painting. Good looks are the most basic requirements. Secondly, he must be educated, temperamental, and have a good personality. Those who can marry powerful people are mostly prostitutes rather than prostitutes...
You're the one soliciting customers at the door...
