Lang Shaochong hurriedly said goodbye to the three of them, and went directly to visit the city with great joy, saying that he was meeting friends.
Jiang Qiulong just sneered, with a look of disdain on his face. He seemed to know what Lang Shaochong was going to do. There were high-level controls in Wuguang Sect and he didn't dare to mess around. No one in this Pearl City would care about it, so he could just do whatever he wanted.
Jiang Qiulong planned to visit an elder of the Jiang family in Zhuji City, but it was inconvenient to go with Yuwen Zhouyuan, so he said goodbye to Yuwen Zhouyuan and agreed to reunite at this inn ten days later before going to Donglin Country.
Ma Yunfei went to the street, saying that he wanted to buy some medicine for healing.
In the end, Yuwen Zhouyuan discovered to his distress that he was the only one left in the inn. He never thought that he would stay in Zhuji City for half a month, so naturally he didn't know what to do for a while.
Yuwen Zhouyuan thought about it and simply went to the underground market for a stroll.
This underground market is definitely not the open market in the city, where all the junk items sold by Zhenqi stage disciples are sold.
Jiang Qiulong once mentioned that there is a secret underground market in Zhuji City, which is specially used for transactions between Zhen Yuan Stage disciples of various sects, buying and selling expensive items that are only used by Zhen Yuan Stage monks.
This underground market is an industry of the Dongyang Cultivation Alliance. It has a high reputation and will not reveal the origins of the buyers and sellers. True Yuan monks from all the major immortal sects in the Dongyang Empire like to come here to do transactions.
The underground trade in Zhuji City is almost the densest place in the world of immortal cultivation in the entire Dongyang Empire.
Only then did Yuwen Zhouyuan realize that this Zhuji City was not just a city where a large number of Zhenqi disciples gathered. It was more important than imagined. At the very least, it was the trading center for Zhenyuan monks from all the major cultivating sects.
.
However, although there was such a market in Zhuji City, Jiang Qiulong left in a hurry and did not tell him clearly where the market was. He only said that many monks knew it and just asked someone for directions.
Yuwen Zhouyuan called a waiter from the inn and asked about the location of the underground market, but he didn't know the location of the underground market. This waiter had only been in Zhuji City for a few years and had no idea that there was an underground secret market.
Yuwen Zhouyuan was a little annoyed, so he changed into an ordinary monk's robe without any markings, left the inn, walked on the streets of Zhuji City, and walked around.
Since he didn't know where the underground market was, he could only go to the Weapon Refining Workshop, Spirit Weapon Pavilion and other places in Pearl City to have a look, maybe he could find items he could use.
Yu Wenzhouyuan was walking on the street when his eyes suddenly moved. He saw old Taoist priests with cow-heart buns pulling a few new Zhenqi monks to do business on the street, but they were stopped by those few
The newcomer sprayed saliva on his face and called him a liar.
The old Taoist priest shouted bad luck.
Yuwen Zhouyuan smiled lightly, thinking of something. He took a step forward and moved as fast as smoke. He came to the Taoist priest in a few steps and said with a smile: "Fellow Taoist, I want to ask you for directions."
When the Taoist priest saw a business coming to his door, he laughed and said, "I am the best at finding roads. I wonder where my friends want to go? I know everything and can tell you everything! However, the fee depends on where you want to go."
"How to get to the underground market in Zhuji City? There are many Zhenyuan monks buying and selling in that place. Don't tell me you don't know. It would be strange for a local coward like you not to know." Yuwen Zhouyuan said with a smile.
"Underground market?" The Taoist priest was very surprised after hearing this. He thought for a while and said with a grimace: "I don't know, but I know that there is a place where Zhenyuan monks from various sects often come and go. But I have a low cultivation level and have never
I’ve never been inside.”
"Really, where is that place?" Yuwen Zhouyuan asked.
"That place needs a low-grade spiritual stone!" the Taoist priest rolled his eyes and said loudly.
Yuwen Zhouyuan took out a low-grade spiritual stone and handed it to him.
The Taoist priest took the spirit stone and was overjoyed. He immediately smiled and said, "It's right in Zhuji Pavilion, the center of Zhuji City!"
Yuwen Zhouyuanhuo: "Zhuji Pavilion, isn't it the important meeting place of the Dongyang Cultivation Alliance in this city? Outsiders are prohibited from entering and exiting. Why did it become an underground city?"
The Taoist priest refused to say anything. He just smiled, rubbed his hands and said, "Fellow Taoist, I have a question and I will collect a spiritual stone."
After hearing this, Yuwen Zhouyuan frowned, took out another low-grade spiritual stone, and threw it away.
The Taoist priest caught the spirit stone and said with a smile: "I don't dare to lie. I don't know where the underground market is. However, I have been in Zhuji City for decades. There is no place in Zhuji City that I haven't visited."
However, only this Zhuji Pavilion is guarded by Zhenyuan monks and cannot be entered at all. And only Zhenyuan monks can enter here. If there is an underground market in Zhuji City, it must be Zhuji Pavilion."
Glancing at Yuwen Zhouyuan, the Taoist priest swallowed his saliva and continued: "The main entrance of Zhuji Pavilion is rarely open, and those Zhenyuan monks always enter through the side door of Zhuji Pavilion. Since fellow Taoist is so happy, I will give you another one as a gift.
A little secret. This Zhuji City has two powerful defensive formations. One is built on the four walls of the city. The other is a more powerful formation, but it is built in the Zhuji Pavilion. Even if the city is breached, the entire Zhuji City will be destroyed.
Destroyed, as long as the Zhuji Pavilion is intact, Zhuji City can be rebuilt. It is not easy to break these two defense formations. I think back then, Zhuji City was destroyed several times..."
Yuwen Zhouyuan didn't have the time to listen to the Taoist priest talking about the history and legends of Zhuji City. He might not be able to finish talking about it in three years. He interrupted him and said: "Take me to the side door of Zhuji Pavilion! I'll give you the money."
.”
The Taoist priest was dumbfounded when he heard Yuwen Zhouyuan made this request: "Well, if you want to go in, are you a Zhenyuan monk?"
Yuwen Zhouyuan stared at him coldly, exuding pressure, and said in a cold voice: "Isn't it different?"
The Taoist priest was shocked, suddenly trembled, woke up, nodded quickly, and led the way. But in his heart, he secretly exclaimed, "Oh my god, I'm so old, and my eyesight is clumsy. I accidentally knocked the Zhenyuan cultivator into a rip-off. Fortunately, this
The young man spoke politely, but he didn't have the same experience as me.
Zhuji Pavilion is a huge bluestone hall in the center of the city. It covers a total area of several steps and has hundreds of steps. It is guarded by golden armors from the Dongyang Cultivation Alliance. Usually, the place is very quiet and almost no one comes. Around Zhuji Pavilion, there are some
Luxurious hotel.
After a short while, the Taoist priest brought Yuwen Zhouyuan to the side of Zhuji Pavilion, pointed to an ordinary little door in the side hall, and said with a humble smile: "This Taoist priest is here. He often lives here.
There are Zhenyuan monks coming in and out, but I’ve never been in, and I don’t know if this is the underground market you’ve always been looking for. I’ll leave first!”
Yuwen Zhouyuan did not walk towards the small door rashly. This is the territory of Dongyang Cultivation Alliance. If you trespass into forbidden areas that you should not go to, you will be in bad luck.
He took stock of the environment around Zhuji Pavilion, went to the nearest restaurant with a wide view, and occupied a table near the window. While drinking tea, he observed whether any monks came in or out through the small door.
After waiting for three hours, the sky gradually got late. At this time, some monks wearing bamboo hats and face shields began to come to the small door of the side hall of Zhuji Pavilion and knocked on the door. The dark small door
Open it and the monks will quickly go in.
Yuwen Zhouyuan carefully identified the restaurant. In just a short period of time, about thirty or forty people entered. Almost all of them were monks in the Zhenyuan stage. Moreover, they all covered their faces and could not see anything on their clothes.
He was secretly surprised that he had no identity.
It seems that there are many Zhenyuan cultivators in this Pearl City.
This should be what Jiang Qiulong said, the underground market of Zhuji City, which is specially used for transactions between Zhenyuan monks.
After Yuwen Zhouyuan knew what was going on, he sat there for a while and then got up and left the restaurant.
When Yu Wen Zhouyuan came to Xiaomen, he had already put on an earth spirit animal skin mask bought from a street stall, and a set of the most ordinary clothes. He was not afraid of anyone recognizing him.
Knocked three times on the small door.
The small door creaked open, revealing a black wall of light that blocked all light.
Yuwen Zhouyuan hesitated for a moment and floated in.
Passing through a thin wall of light, your eyes suddenly opened up.
Yuwen Zhouyuan looked around and saw that it was a simple cabin with a fluorite lamp. There was a table and several chairs.
The monks who entered this hut before disappeared without a trace.
Inside the room was a man on the ninth floor of the Zhenqi stage. A big man wearing Dongyang Cultivation Alliance clothes was crossing his legs. When he saw Yuwen Zhouyuan coming in, his golden eyes flashed. He found out Yuwen Zhouyuan's cultivation level and immediately
He smiled and said: "The Fair will start in half an hour. Senior, I don't know if this is your first time here. If it's your first time here, I'll help you explain the rules here. Or just go directly
Going to Fangshi?”
Yuwen Zhouyuan said: "This is my first time here. Please tell me what the rules are here."
The big man smiled and said: "Oh, it turns out that this is your first time, senior. We provide stall sales, pending orders, bidding auctions, acquisitions, equivalent exchanges, exchange for spirit stones, and task entrustment. No matter what you want to do,
Any business can be done here."
Yuwen Zhouyuan thought for a moment and said, "I'll go to Fangshi first."
"Okay." The big man didn't say anything more. He rang the bell on the table a few times, and a stone wall door slowly opened on the wall of the small room.
Yuwen Zhouyuan walked in slowly.
Immediately, he felt a few rays of consciousness that were at least in the True Yuan stage, sweeping over his body before moving away.
Yuwen Zhouyuan felt a little uncomfortable, but he didn't mind it too much. It was normal for a place like this to have guards above the True Yuan stage.
This is a hall, or the side hall of Zhuji Pavilion. It is extremely luxuriously decorated, with glass chandeliers, snow-white monster skin rugs, and shining jade pillars, all of which reveal the wealth of the hall.
The most important thing is that this place is bustling and extremely lively. There are more than a hundred Zhenyuan monks wearing masks. There are dozens of various counters and stalls in the hall, all of them are Zhenyuan monks.
In business.
There are also many Zhenyuan monks who have just come in and are haggling in front of the counter.
Looking around, I saw that they were all Zhenyuan monks, none of whom were at the Zhenqi stage. There were even a few high-level Zhenyuan Dzogchen monks, who were not far from real people.
The Hou Wei displayed by Yuwen Zhouyuan at this time was only the first level of the True Yuan Stage, which was at the bottom of the cultivation base, so it did not attract anyone's attention.
