After Zhang Ke left, Fenghua Zhenjun said: "What do you think? Do you want to help?"
True Lord Lingyun stroked his beard and smiled slightly:
"Help! Why not help! If Tushan really hides in the city, he will be a disaster sooner or later.
Mobilize all disciples to conduct a screening and do it with great fanfare.
If he is really in the city and he is interested, he should leave as soon as possible. If not, don't blame us for being ruthless."
True Lord White Eyebrows twitched his white eyebrows and thought to himself.
'Master Ruyi is willing to pay such a high price in exchange for the news about Tushan. If Tushan is captured, maybe there is still a glimmer of hope for his plan.'
"Yes! I agree with the arrest. Tushan was seriously injured back then, and it's only been over a hundred years now. I think his injuries may not be healed.
Besides, we have eight true kings here, are we still afraid of him being a lost dog?
Even if he jumps over the wall in a hurry, how much trouble will he cause?"
Everyone couldn't help but nod after hearing this, and decided to conduct a comprehensive screening of Qianxi City and nearby cities.
If you want to do something, you have to do it well, do it absolutely, and leave no future troubles, not to mention that the 'Pulse Fixing Talisman' that Master Ruyi came up with is really good.
After making up their mind, everyone immediately mobilized the power of Momen to conduct searches in Qianxi City and three surrounding cities.
Tushan's portraits were also posted on the streets and alleys of every city controlled by Momen.
In contrast, there are high rewards.
There are top-grade magic weapons, 100,000 gold talismans, and massive cultivation resources.
This was a reward that Zhang Ke paid out of his own pocket.
As soon as the news was sent out, it caused a sensation in many nearby cities.
The combined value of these treasures is enough to be worth the entire savings of a miscellaneous sect.
But now it only takes one piece of information to obtain it, and immediately countless people began to inquire about Tushan's information.
…
In a low-rise restaurant.
Zhang Ke and Ding Zhongyuan were drinking spiritual tea.
Yan Feier and others are currently training the Dharma Giant in the Rubik's Cube Cave, so Zhang Ke is temporarily at peace.
Ding Zhongyuan's expression was a little complicated. He didn't expect that this friend he had just met was so powerful.
For a while, I didn't know how to continue communicating and dating with Zhang Ke.
Looking at Zhang Ke's white hair, Ding Zhongyuan said without any words:
"Mr. Daoist, could it be that his origin was injured in the battle? How could he become so old?"
Zhang Ke closed his eyes and took a sip of fragrant tea, shook his head and said:
"This is my own reason and has nothing to do with anything else."
Looking out from the restaurant, Zhang Ke found that Qianxi City, which was originally somewhat empty, had at least tens of thousands of foreign monks pouring into it.
He couldn't help but asked in wonder: "How come there are so many people here these days?"
Ding Zhongyuan smiled "haha":
"Every time after a giant beast attacks, it looks like this.
I remember telling fellow Taoists that after the death of these exotic giant beasts, some of them will form some mineral deposits and treasures due to the influence of the law."
Zhang Ke nodded and said: "Oh! Now that I think about it, these people are here to acquire resources."
Ding Zhongyuan shook his head: "This is only part of the reason, the bigger reason is to 'guess'."
Zhang Ke asked: "What is guessing?"
Ding Zhongyuan explained:
"The so-called 'guessing' is actually a gamble on luck.
After the death of a giant beast, there is a certain chance that mineral deposits and treasures will be formed in the body, but more often, round crystals will be formed.
These crystals vary in size, and the blood or essence of some giant beasts will produce strange changes in these crystals and become special treasures.
Of course, most precious treasures will not appear in most crystals, but nothing is absolute.
According to the records of Qianxi City, three hundred years ago, a monk once opened an acquired spiritual treasure in a crystal."
Ding Zhongyuan looked at Zhang Ke who looked surprised and continued:
"The crystal is protected by special laws and cannot be explored in any way.
Therefore, if you want to get the treasure in the crystal, you can only gamble on luck. "Guessing" means luck, and "guessing" means hiding. This is the origin of "guessing".
Therefore, every time after a war, Qianxi City would briefly open a ten-day trade fair.
Activities such as exchanging treasures, buying and selling resources, guessing, etc. will all be completed in this trade fair."
Zhang Ke suddenly realized, isn't this the Xianxia version of gambling on stones? It was said so elegantly.
I looked at the bustling crowd outside the restaurant.
"Are all these monks here just to 'guess'?"
Ding Zhongyuan smiled and said:
"How is that possible? Usually, most of the people who come here to 'guess' are casual cultivators who want to get rich overnight. Some sects come here for the mineral deposits and treasures formed by the giant beasts.
Fellow Taoist, can you discover something special about the residents of Qianxi City?"
Zhang Ke's heart moved: "Does Fellow Taoist mean to talk about the physical constitution of the residents of this city?"
Ding Zhongyuan nodded and said:
"Exactly! Have any fellow Taoists in the planting areas outside the city noticed the difference?"
Zhang Ke thought for a while and found nothing strange. He shook his head to express his ignorance.
Ding Zhongyuan said:
"During the battles in the past few days, the planting areas outside the city were greatly damaged. This was actually done intentionally by Qianxi City.
This kind of spiritual grain is specially cultivated and is called 'blood corn'.
The blood of giant beasts after death contains powerful power. If these crops are removed, fellow Taoists will see that the land outside the city is all red.
The 'blood corn' grown after watering it can greatly improve the physique of ordinary people.
The rhizomes of 'blood corn' are deeply rooted and have tenacious vitality. They can grow again in just a few days.
In addition to greatly enhancing physical fitness, long-term consumption can also extend lifespan, which is one of the main goals of some out-of-town sects coming here to purchase."
Zhang Ke suddenly became interested and asked: "Are there any restrictions on this purchase?"
Ding Zhongyuan smiled and said: "Others have it, but Taoist friends don't."
"Why is this?"
"Fellow Taoist has killed many giants and behemoths in the battle. After 70% of these things are handed over, the rest will be returned to fellow Taoist.
The treasures and crystals condensed in it can be kept by Taoist friends for themselves, or they can be used to exchange for some unique resources of Qianxi City."
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Oh! That's it!"
Zhang Ke finally understood the cause and effect.
"When will the transaction start?"
Ding Zhongyuan took out a purple invitation and placed it on the table.
"The trade fair will start tomorrow at 12:00. This is the highest level invitation. Fellow Taoists can come and see the excitement when you have time."
Zhang Ke took the invitation with a smile:
"Tomorrow will definitely open my eyes. To be honest, I am really interested in 'guessing'."
Ding Zhongyuan cupped his hands and said:
"Then I'll be waiting for you at the trade fair tomorrow. I still have some things to deal with today. Goodbye!"
After saying that, he stood up and left.
Zhang Ke noticed that there seemed to be a slight gap between Ding Zhongyuan and himself.
But this is normal. As your strength improves, some good friends will gradually drift away.
This is also an inevitable price to pay on the path of spiritual practice.
On the morning of the second day, Zhang Ke took Yan Fei'er early and followed the flow of people on the street.
After Zhang Ke told the story about the trade fair in the Rubik's Cube Cave yesterday, Gouhun was not interested in it and was busy training the Dharma Giant.
In the past few days, Wanxiang seemed to be at the critical moment of integrating the Yuan Chen Dharma Pillar. He was so confused that he had already found a place to sleep.
So Zhang Ke rushed to the fair with Yan Fei'er and the little peacock 'Nanny'.
Following the crowds of people, Zhang Ke and he came to a building.
It is as short as other buildings, but it occupies a much larger area.
‘Stone Drum’
A simple two-character jade plaque written in Yunzhuan is hung on the lintel.
It is probably named because the building's appearance resembles a drum.
At this moment, a total of sixteen doors of the building were opened, and in front of each door there were varying numbers of Momen disciples greeting them.
An endless stream of monks came in together chatting and laughing.
Zhang Ke stepped forward, looked at it and handed the invitation in his hand to the Momen disciples who were receiving him at the door.
The disciple's expression suddenly became solemn as he unfolded the invitation, cupped his hands and said:
"It turns out to be Zhenren Ruyi, please come with me!"
Zhang Ke and Yan Fei'er followed the disciple and entered. Yan Fei'er exclaimed:
"There are so many people coming today? Master! Do we want to grab some?"
The disciple's footsteps stalled slightly, then he pretended not to hear anything and continued to lead the way.
Zhang Ke said with a headache: "If you keep talking nonsense, I won't take you out to play in the future!"
The little peacock 'Nanny' stood on Yan Fei'er's shoulder, looking around with lively eyes and chirping softly from time to time.
A space expansion array has been deployed in the ‘Shigu’ trading venue, which is dozens of times larger than the actual size displayed.
It also extended several feet underground, with countless rune lamps hanging in every corner of the trading place, and the lights were as bright as day.
It is surrounded by hundreds of standard shops in a ring, and most of the monks conduct transactions and 'guessing' activities in these shops.
In the center of these ring-shaped shops is a circular building shaped like a drum.
Perhaps this is the origin of the name of the "Shigu" trading ground. Zhang Kesui received his disciples in front of the building that looked like a big drum.
The disciple said respectfully:
"Master, please wait a moment. I will ask Uncle Ding to come out to greet you."
Zhang Ke nodded and did not refuse. Although he disagreed with it, there was no need to embarrass others.
At this moment, there are many monks waiting next to the drum-shaped building.
Seeing Zhang Ke and Yan Feier's white hair and beauty, someone laughed in a low voice:
"Hehe! Do you think this is a pear tree weighing down begonias?"
Someone next to me answered:
"Haha! Do you think he is okay? Isn't it a waste that the masked female cultivator next to him follows him? This old man will soon be buried, right?"
