The main palace of Yutiao Mountain City is located in the middle of Yutiao Mountain, with a radius of more than a hundred miles. It is surrounded by a large city-protecting array - the Nine Turns of Mysterious Fire Array. This array is activated by top-quality crystals.
After being turned on, it can withstand the attacks of more than a dozen Golden Core Stage monks for several months. The formation also has an active attack function. After being activated for one turn, it can emit arrows and fire blades. The Qi Refining Stage monks will die if they touch it.
At the ninth turn, the mysterious fire that fills the sky will turn the entire Yutiao Mountain into a sea of fire, and even the old monsters in the Golden Core stage will retreat.
In the past, Old Monster He had been hiding in the cave of this formation to practice until he was accidentally killed by Dongfang Caixia. However, except Tiemian Hou and Dongfang Caixia, no one knows Mr. He until now.
It has long been reduced to ashes.
The City Lord's Mansion, this city within the city, is composed of an outer hall and an inner hall. The outer hall is where the commanders of thousands in the early stage of foundation building and the commanders of ten thousand in the middle stage of foundation construction are stationed and trained. On weekdays, these commanders of thousands and ten thousand
The husband captains each perform their duties, some are responsible for leading the guards on inspections, and some are responsible for guarding the outer city. These casual cultivators in the foundation building period, together, number in the hundreds. And the five governors and iron deputy city lords at the end of the foundation building period
All the caves were guarding around He Laoguai's body, forming a situation like stars looming over the moon.
The address of the Yutiao Mountain Fair is located in a large palace in the outer hall. This palace is called Li Palace.
At ten o'clock in the afternoon, the area around Li Palace was already bustling with people. The monks who could be invited to participate in the trade fair were either shopkeepers or advanced monks at the foundation level or above. Many captains of thousands and captains of ten thousand were also uniformly dressed.
The legal uniforms of the City Lord's Mansion are shuttled inside, maintaining order on the one hand, and on the other hand, paying attention to whether there are any treasures that they like. Therefore, those who can come here are either rich or noble.
Deep in the inner palace, in the luxurious cave of He Laoguai, the Iron-faced Marquis bowed his head and stood tremblingly in front of a masked female cultivator.
"Miss, the time has come. Do you want to move to Li Palace?"
The masked female nun sat cross-legged on the blue jade bed, raising her head slightly and opening her beautiful eyes slightly.
"Lord Iron City, you'd better go and participate. I won't join in the fun. Anyway, there are no important treasures. It's best for you to come forward."
"Yes! That old slave is gone!" The Iron-faced Hou, as if granted a pardon, quickly straightened up and was about to retreat.
"Master Iron City, I seem to feel a few strange golden elixir auras coming to this city. Is this the person you invited?" the masked female cultivator suddenly asked.
"Golden elixir breath?"
Tie Mianhou looked stunned, and immediately bowed and replied: "Miss, this old slave doesn't know yet, but in the past, on every trading day, one or two old Jindan monsters would come to my Yutiao Mountain to join in the fun, usually
Traveling incognito, you will not reveal your true identity in a big way. Did the aura of the golden elixir that the young lady sensed enter the body?"
"Oh, that's it. I didn't enter the body, but there were two very powerful divine consciousnesses that scanned the body several times and were blocked by my spiritual consciousness. Judging from the strength of the spiritual consciousness, these two people should have
He is in the final stage of Jindan cultivation, and his magic power is not inferior to that of you and me!" The masked female cultivator said with profound meaning.
The Iron-faced Marquis was horrified and said in a trembling voice: "At the end of the golden elixir? Do you want to activate the Nine Revolutions of Mysterious Fire Formation? This old slave deserves to die. There is such a powerful person coming in and he knows nothing about it. Please punish me, young lady!"
"There is no need to punish. This Yutiao Mountain is already a mixed bag, so it is reasonable for a few high-level monks to come. As long as they don't show off their strength and cause trouble, we don't need to worry about it. They should be looking for something or someone.
You should be more vigilant in the past few days, and first find out your identity secretly, just tighten it on the outside and tighten on the inside!" The masked female cultivator said with a smile, and there was an aura of looking down at the world from her body.
"Yes, yes! I must be alert!" Tie Mianhou wiped the sweat from his forehead and said with a trembling voice.
Suddenly something occurred to him and he continued: "Miss, another Qi Refiner cultivator from Hua Chen has entered Yutiao Mountain City. I have followed your instructions and treated him as a VIP and issued him a VIP order.
"
"Oh? Another cultivator Hua Chen is here? Isn't he the same as the previous female cultivator? Do you know his name?" the masked female cultivator said in surprise.
"According to a report from a captain below, it is not clear when this male cultivator entered the city, but as soon as he arrived at Yutiao Mountain City, he bought a shop owned by a family in Dingzhou. What is it called, Tian... Tianjiu.
"
"What? Tianjiu!" The masked female cultivator shouted softly, stood up, and a glimmer of light appeared in her beautiful eyes.
Tie Mianhou was startled and said quickly: "Yes, he should be called Tianjiu. He is just a disciple of Qi Refining. He has good eyesight. He bought Cheng Yufang, an old store that has been famous for decades. Do you know me, Miss?"
The masked female cultivator was noncommittal, thought for a while, and said: "Okay, Lord Iron City, you go and see the trade fair first. There has been no high-level officials in charge for so long. It seems a little too disrespectful. Take care of that Sikong Lan."
For a moment, don't let her make any mistakes here."
"Okay, miss! I have resigned!"
The Iron-faced Marquis bowed back and stood still for a few more breaths. When he saw that the masked female cultivator did not continue to ask questions, he hurriedly exited the prison.
Li Palace is shaped like a basketball court on earth, with a large platform in the middle. There are several projection arrays arranged in a circle above the platform. Each projection array is ten feet in size, reflecting the situation on the platform in real time.
.
Tens of feet away from the platform, there are tens of thousands of stone chairs surrounding the ground floor. These stone chairs are obviously for the monks attending the trade fair to sit on, and this area is also the general area.
Above the general area is a semi-open floor. Small magic circles are used to divide the floor into small private rooms. The small private rooms are equipped with painted blankets, jade chairs and tables, and spiritual tea and spiritual fruits. Here too
This is the so-called VIP area.
In a small private room at the front and center of the VIP area, Tianjiu was lying on a jade chair, with his legs crossed and gnawing on the pork belly in his hand. He was wearing a pair of big sunglasses, covering most of his face.
He had a face, and he was wearing a shabby black cloak. He looked like a gangster tycoon on the earth, except for a thick gold chain hanging around his neck. And Xiao Xizi sat uneasily in the middle
Sitting in his seat, his face was filled with fear and uneasiness.
"Boss, are you sure this is okay? I am not like Boss!" Xiao Xizi finally couldn't help but speak.
The two of them arrived at Li Palace early. Tianjiu asked Xiao Xizi to take his identity jade tag and enter the VIP room as the new shopkeeper of Cheng Yufang, while Tianjiu became Xiao Xizi's close guard.
"Sure! Just do it as you are told, no one can eat you!" Tianjiu glanced at Xiao Xizi and muttered.
"Boss, you haven't seen that the people below are all experts. The lowest cultivation level is at the ninth level of Qi Refining. I, a minor cultivator at the sixth level of Qi Refining, am not even qualified to carry their shoes! Let alone those on our level.
There should be a lot of monks in the foundation building stage, right? Take the monks in the private rooms on our left and right as examples, their pressure is really terrifying, don’t you feel it at all?" Xiao Xizi said with a bitter face.
"Hey, what are you afraid of if you have high cultivation level? Haven't you heard that it scares the timid to death and scares the bold to death? As long as we are bold and careful, we can accomplish the purpose of this trip. Otherwise, your boss will really become a pauper.
Again, for every transaction I make, you will receive a mid-level crystal."
Tianjiu took the pig bones and knocked on the jade table hard and said.
"Woo~, I'm afraid that if I have the life to take the crystal, I won't have the life to spend it...!" Xiao Xizi was still mumbling.
"Stop being wordy, take a look at the trading rules, and don't mess with me for a while!" Tianjiu snorted.
"Yes, yes, boss, I will study it right now."
Xiao Xizi gritted his teeth, picked up a jade slip on the table, and examined it carefully. Tianjiu, on the other hand, was lying in the corner, fighting endlessly with the spirit pork.
After a stick of incense was burned, dozens of streams of light shot into the platform, and then the stream of light condensed, and dozens of beautiful and generous female nuns appeared. These female nuns, with plump figures and good looks, were wearing silver palace dresses.
Their cultivation levels are all at or above the early stage of Foundation Establishment. The leader is tall and graceful, her eyes are shining, and her cultivation level is actually at the peak of the early stage of Foundation Establishment. As soon as these beautiful female cultivators appeared, the trading place was filled with people.
, there was a lot of discussion, and everyone looked excited.
"Ahem!" Two clear coughs came, and for a moment, the bustling trading place fell silent.
"Dear shopkeepers, senior brothers, sisters and uncles, as well as distinguished guests, noon has arrived, and the 390th Jade Bar Fair has now officially begun!"
The beautiful female cultivator on the platform said sweetly. The voice was not very loud, but it could be heard very clearly from every corner. Obviously, there was some kind of magic hidden in her voice. As she spoke, her eyes were moving intentionally or unintentionally.
He glanced a few times in the direction of the private room where Tianjiu was.
Before the female nun finished speaking, the entire palace burst into applause.
"Holy crap! Isn't this Sikong Lan? When did this little girl become the master of ceremonies?"
Tianjiu looked at the female cultivator who was speaking on the platform and took a mouthful of pork, which almost missed Xiao Xizi's face.
"Boss, do you know this beauty?" Xiao Xizi asked in surprise.
"Huh? I don't know him, I don't know him! How can any beautiful woman know your boss?"
Tianjiu Thief said with a smile, warning himself over and over in his heart: Calm down, calm down, you must be calm! Don't let this little girl get attached to you again.
After the applause subsided, Sikong Lan continued: "Dear guests, I think you have understood the terms and rules of this trade fair. I would like to emphasize that no prohibited items, including illegal items of unknown origin, are allowed to be traded in this trade fair.
Magical weapons, talisman elixirs, material arrays, and any grade of spiritual pigs are not allowed to be sold privately. Even if it is a pig hair, it is best not to trade privately. If someone must trade, they can go to the Li Palace Management Office to
Register, oh, by the way, I am the steward of Li Palace, all applications must be approved by me."
As soon as Sikong Lan finished speaking, sharp whistles sounded again in the trading venue.
"Holy crap! Sikong Lan, it turns out that this bitch like you is responsible for everything!" Tianjiu gritted his teeth.
"I said why when I came here, this Yutiao Mountain didn't even sell pigs. It took a long time to do it. It's all your fault! Apply, apply for your name! If you want to force me to submit, there is no way!"
Tianjiu was feeling depressed when a large amount of transaction information appeared on the projection array above the platform. Each transaction content flashed continuously, covering the entire projection array in an instant.
"Boss, do we want to enter it?" Xiao Xizi picked up a square jade sign on the jade table and asked in a low voice.
"Enter? Enter what? Do we have any transactions? Boss, there are only spiritual pigs here. Haven't you heard that all spiritual pigs, even a pig hair, cannot be traded?" Tianjiu roared dejectedly.
"Oh, boss, I don't understand. When did this spiritual pig become a banned item?"
Tianjiu trembled, and then Sikong Lan's sweet voice sounded on the platform below: "For all transactions this time, the City Lord's Mansion will charge a commission of 5% for each transaction, and only 10% will be charged for the first ten transactions.
1. Dear guests, if you want to trade, hurry up, don’t miss the opportunity, and you will never lose it again!”
As soon as he finished speaking, the entire trading venue suddenly exploded with whispers and loud shouts.
Tianjiu looked confused. He had no idea how the Jade City Fair was run. The specific details were all in the jade slips, and he didn't read a word.
So, he stared at Xiao Xizi.
Xiao Xizi immediately understood and explained to Tianjiu with a smile: "Boss, the general process of this transaction is: everyone attending the meeting can input their treasures into the projection array in front through the teleportation weapon in their hands.
The top 100 treasures that are considered to be of high value are scrolled, but you can also view other treasures in the teleportation device in your hand. If you like a treasure, just place a bid on the teleportation device. After bidding,
Within ten breaths, if no one bids, the baby will be yours; if someone bids, the one with the highest bid will get it. Just take the crystal with you to the Li Palace Steward's Office to deliver the baby. Oh, look, now this method
There are already tens of thousands of treasures listed in the device, and there are more than 20 treasures bidding fiercely. The results will be announced soon. Everyone rushes to be in the top ten and the transaction is successful, which can save a lot of transaction fees.
!”
"Oh, that's it! Why do you all have to go to Li Palace to trade? Isn't it more convenient and more cost-effective to trade privately?" Tianjiu asked in a low voice.
"Hey, uncle, if you still want to hang out in this Yutiao Mountain City, stop thinking about it. Look, will such a big Yutiao Mountain allow you to trade privately? Which city lord doesn't want to drink from the northwest wind?
!Everyone here has registered their identities with their real names. As long as they make a deal, they cannot go back on it. Otherwise, the City Lord's Palace will intervene. The party that breaks the contract will confiscate the crystal stones, which will not be less than the traded treasure. Furthermore, the City Lord's Palace guarantees that every transaction will be confiscated.
There will be no problems in every transaction, the two parties will not meet, and there will definitely be no gangsterism." Xiao Xizi continued.
"Well, very good!" Tianjiu sighed in his heart. It seems that Yutiao Shanfang City is indeed much more advanced than Tiandu Fengfang City. Compared with this place, Tiandu Fengfang City is like a low-level small workshop.
"Wow, boss, the first ten transactions are out. Take a look: first, ten foundation-building pills with dual attributes of fire and wood, the transaction amount is 3,300 high-level crystal stones; second, a mid-level magic weapon, a wooden magic sword
The handle, the transaction amount, is one thousand five hundred high-level crystals; the third is, one hundred bottles of Great Yuan Dan, the transaction amount is one thousand high-level crystals..."
"Wait, wait! What is Dayuan Dan used for?" Tianjiu hurriedly interrupted Xiao Xizi and asked suddenly.
"Great Yuan Dan? Don't you know? I don't know very well. I heard that it is an elixir cultivated by Foundation Establishment monks. Some people also say that it is used to break through the small layers of Foundation Establishment. The power of a Great Yuan Dan is as powerful as that of a Small Yuan Dan."
The elixir is dozens of times more expensive, but the price is a hundred times that of Xiao Yuan Dan. In short, it is a good elixir, otherwise it would not be so expensive." Xiao Xizi said ambiguously.
Tianjiu slumped down on the jade chair, his mouth trembling non-stop.
If you don't go to Yutiao Mountain, you don't know how poor you are! The units they trade are all high-level crystals, but I have very few high-level crystals collected from the Taoist Demon Spirit, and I am still burdened with thousands of debts.
"Oh, this is all my fault! If I had known, I would have done it to her!" Tianjiu said harshly again.
"Did it? Who did it?" Xiao Xizi looked confused.
"Go, go, little brat, don't worry about so much! Just stay here and I'll go out for some fresh air, it's too damn stuffy here!" Tianjiu threw away the pig bones in his hand and left the private room on the second floor in despair.
