Chapter 407 [Trade]

In Anrenfang, the sect leader hurriedly led his men to deal with the mess between the fifth and eighth elders. When they arrived, the scene they saw was truly shocking.

There are dead bodies everywhere!
There are old, weak, women and children.

The fifth elder has gone mad and is murderous.

“Bang bang bang~~~”

Not far ahead, in the wreckage of a building.

The fifth elder, with disheveled hair and blood oozing from the corners of his mouth, and several masked men of unknown origin were surrounding and killing the eighth elder. The aftermath of the battle alone was enough to severely injure the Great Perfection of the Ao Lian Realm who was approaching.

Fortunately, the Eighth Elder was strong, although he looked a little embarrassed, like a blood gourd. But he would not die for a while.

“Master, save me!”

“???”

One of the masked men, upon seeing the leader of the Giant Whale Sect appear, withdrew from the battlefield without saying a word and disappeared into the darkness in a flash.

“Qi training realm.”

I didn’t expect that the Fifth Elder would actually hire a killer from the Qi Training Realm to kill someone. From now on, the value of this elder will be reduced by at least one-fifth.

“Consider you lucky.”

Knowing that he could not kill the Eighth Elder today, the Fifth Elder did not hesitate and simply waved his hand and left with the killers.

Although the other party was not killed tonight, many people died in the Eighth Elder’s house, including the old man’s children and grandchildren.

“Master, you have to make the decision for me.”

Looking at the Eighth Elder kneeling on the ground with a miserable face, the Sect Master showed a disgusted expression. On the way here, the sect members who came to report the news explained why the two sides were fighting.

Not only did the old man steal someone’s childhood sweetheart, he also cuckolded her. If it weren’t for his status, he would have slapped the other person’s head to pieces.

“Alas, this is a private matter, and the Giant Whale Sect cannot interfere.”

After he finished speaking, he did not give the Eighth Elder any chance to speak, and immediately turned around and left with his men.

“.”

The bad deeds of the numbered elders of the Giant Whale Sect had spread throughout the entire Sanshui City and became a major gossip that the general public talked about with relish in the first half of the night.

Compared to the excited spectators, the victims and perpetrators were in different moods. The former were still full of hatred and vowed to take revenge, even at the cost of their lives. The latter were thinking about how to settle the matter.

And the one who started it all?
Heading to Qingyu Town.

At midnight, He Sheng, dressed in black and wearing a mask that only revealed his eyes, stood outside the dense forest thirty miles east of the town and activated his protective goggles.

After a light blue light shield covered his whole body, he walked inside step by step. After a while, the dark night around him suddenly became brightly lit.

The forest was still the same forest, except that there was a wide road opened up by humans. On both sides of the road, the scene was similar to some busy streets in Sanshui City, full of stall owners and customers strolling around.

“The Qi Training Realm Fire Fish is on sale at a low price. This fire-attributed spiritual fish was born from water. It is gentle and harmless to the body when used by oneself, and is easy to absorb. It only requires three water-attributed spiritual objects in exchange, or two earth-attributed spiritual objects.”

“The Five Elements Sword is a magical weapon used by first-level practitioners. If you input any kind of spiritual energy into it, it can activate five kinds of spells. It is a great treasure for killing people and robbing goods.”

“The price of spiritual liquid is on sale. Five spiritual objects of the same attribute can be exchanged for one bottle of spiritual liquid. Seven spiritual objects of different attributes can be exchanged for one bottle of spiritual liquid.”

On both sides of the road, the stall owners were talking at the top of their voices, and occasionally a customer would come up and ask if the price could be cheaper.

If it wasn’t the stuff they were talking about, it was all what the cultivators needed. It was hard to imagine that a group of cultivators, who were so high and mighty in the eyes of ordinary people, would actually hawk their wares like ordinary vendors.

It is worth mentioning that everyone is wearing masks to hide their faces. It seems that with the ability of these people, they cannot see the true faces of people through the masks.

“Friend, are you new here? Do you need to change some spiritual fluid?” At this time, a man wearing a pig face mask came forward and asked.

“price.”

He Sheng adhered to the principle of “the more you talk, the more mistakes you make” and asked directly how to exchange.

“Ten thousand taels of gold notes for a bottle of spiritual liquid. If there are spiritual objects, four spiritual objects of the same attribute can be exchanged for one bottle. For spiritual objects of different attributes, five can be exchanged for one bottle.

Of course, the quality of my spiritual liquid is definitely not as good as those stall owners who set up stalls and refine spiritual liquid every day. The spiritual liquid they produce can be used for more than a month, while ours can be used for at least 20 days and at most 25 days.

Or, sell the magic tools. We will conduct an evaluation, and the price cannot be determined now. The talisman is also OK, but the material, power, and number of times it can be used will depend on it. “

Accepting gold notes?
As if sensing doubts about the gold notes from his eyes, the man with the pig-faced mask explained.

“Brother, although we are powerful, we are quite sensitive to some spiritual objects. The problem is, who would cultivate a golden elixir and not think about impacting the realm of a first-level cultivator, but go to dig for spiritual objects all over the mountains and plains.

Sanshui City has a population of tens of millions, and many people live off the mountains and the sea. Occasionally, some lucky guys can catch a magical fish or dig up a magical herb. We only need to pay a little gold and silver to get it.

“Ten thousand taels of gold notes for a bottle of spiritual liquid, I definitely made a profit, and a big one. But, I have a huge channel, and I can use gold and silver to exchange for a lot of spiritual objects. If you don’t want to, you can go to the city and find someone to buy it yourself.”

Yes, the pig-faced masked man must be the representative of the White Wave Clan in the market. Is there a greater force than the Giant Whale Clan in the entire city?

Speaking of which, the Giant Whale Sect was really cruel. They gave a spirit fish and only took it into the martial arts hall to teach it martial arts, and after leaving the martial arts hall, it received a little care.

The middlemen make too much profit from the price difference.

“First, a bottle of water attribute.”

“it is good!”

After a while, he looked at the 50 ml porcelain bottle handed to him by the man with the pig-faced mask and fell silent.

“Brother, if this is your first time, don’t use too much. Open the bottle stopper, practice the technique and take a deep breath. Don’t breathe too hard, or you’ll have to focus on refining your spiritual energy for the next few days.”

After the transaction is completed, the other party will leave.

“Are you selling spiritual objects?”

“Can you refine spiritual fluid?”

In response, the man in the pig-faced mask asked back.

“will not.”

“Regarding spiritual fish, spiritual medicine and other spiritual objects, we usually only cooperate with pharmacists who refine spiritual liquids. Of course, sometimes I also do some small business.”

I see. It’s just a small private business.

Working for a sect, there is no one who doesn’t steal.

“price.”

“Three spiritual objects and ten thousand gold notes. One thousand and two gold notes are my personal expenses.” The man with the pig-faced mask raised a finger and stated the specific exchange ratio.

“.”

You told me before that four spiritual objects of the same attribute could be exchanged for a bottle of spiritual fluid. So, there is still water in you.

“Normally, you can buy four with 12,000 gold notes, but the problem is that you are not a potion master. As for me, I will go against my principles and earn some gold notes and spiritual objects from you, right?
Brother, if you don’t believe me, you can go ask the stall owners. People other than the pharmacists, whether the prices are the same as I said.”

“Okay, I’ll take a look first.” He Sheng could only nod. “Okay, if you find the spiritual liquid useful, come to me anytime. If you buy in bulk, there will be discounts.” After he finished speaking, the pig-faced masked man went to do business with the person who had just come in.

After a round of shopping, I found that the stall owners’ goods only fell into three categories: spiritual fluids, spiritual objects, and magical instruments. The rest were some skills and spells, but compared to the three categories, they were so few that they could almost be ignored.

He didn’t find anything he wanted, and even if he did find something he wanted, he couldn’t afford the price. Some good magic tools would cost more than a dozen bottles of spiritual liquid, and they didn’t charge any money!

According to the stall owners, they lost money on the gold notes they received from the pig-faced masked man. Although the loss was not much, they were all low-level disciples of the Bailang Sect and had to live frugally.

We left the market at exactly midnight.

The next second, three messages came into view.

He did not check immediately, but disappeared into the night vigilantly.

Who knows if there are any of these people who want to rob each other. Of course, with three magic weapons on him, it is best not to fight unless a fight breaks out.

As it turned out, there was no one following him to do something bad.

To be honest, that’s not the case.

All those who come to the trade are not very skilled. Those who have strength do not care about the small profits of cheating each other. Those who have no strength want to cheat each other, but they all say that they have no strength. If they really come out, who will eat whom?

After hiding their heads and showing their tails all the way, they finally returned safely to the courtyard of the East and West Halls by swimming in various ways.

Take a short break and start checking the messages pushed today.

[Daily Intelligence ① (Green), Spiritual Liquid is a branch profession among practitioners, the Medicine Liquid Master, which is made by extracting the essence of spiritual objects and is extremely pure. Using water-attributed spiritual liquid to practice will double the practice speed.]

“?”

If we go at twice the speed, it can be done in half a month, and there will still be a small amount of spiritual liquid left.

This trip to the trade fair was not in vain.

After sighing, he continued reading the news.

[Daily Intelligence ② (green), now the internal conflicts of the Giant Whale Gate have almost erupted in all aspects. Yesterday was just a small-scale “bombing”. The later the time, the louder the power of the “explosion”.

Of course, the nobles didn’t care. They didn’t care if a bunch of scumbag fish and shrimps died. As long as the tribute of money, spiritual objects, and people continued every month, they would never interfere. 】

No matter how much trouble the Giant Whale Sect makes, it is ultimately ordinary people and government officials who are in trouble, and it cannot affect the powerful.

A practitioner?
Haven’t you seen the low-level practitioners in the market, a group of Qi training masters who have achieved golden elixirs, all practicing with all their might.

Not to mention the powerful practitioners, a group of mortals fighting each other won’t have much impact. In short, don’t delay others’ cultivation.

[Daily Intelligence ③ (Purple), 120 miles north of the market, under a red tree. Dig 36 meters deep and enter an underground cave. Inside the cave, there is a spiritual pond that has accumulated water for 359 years.

By immersing the whole body in it and practicing the cultivation method, one can absorb it all and crystallize the meridians and Dantian in the body. A large amount of water-attributed spiritual energy can be generated on its own every day for cultivation.

Every morning, a large amount of spiritual energy will escape from the crystallized meridians and Dantian. Players should refine it in time. Otherwise, it will slowly escape from the body and attract things that are extremely sensitive to spiritual energy. 】

“hiss–“

Purple news!

The crystallized meridians and Dantian automatically generate a large amount of spiritual energy every day.

What the hell, a human-shaped spirit creature?

Fortunately, if it is refined in time, there will be no problem.

The next day, as the sky brightened, he could not wait to head to the cave where the spiritual pond was located. In fact, he almost set off without stopping last night.

As a result, when he thought that the trade would last until the end of the Yin hour, he quickly gave up the idea. What if, while digging, a cultivator appeared in the middle?

Finally, he decided to wait until the night owls went home to catch up on their sleep before taking action. After all, there were no people in the wilderness.

Do you think that in this modern world, where every village is connected, if you are alone, you are unlikely to encounter any wild animals?
In ancient times, who would just wander around in the wild for no reason?

One hundred and twenty miles north of the trade, under the mangroves.

Excavate!
After a moment, he entered the cave.

There is no need for any searching, just follow the smell and you will find the Lingtan.

A pool of water about the size of an ordinary bathtub came into view.

It was emerald green, with a lot of green mist floating above it.

If it weren’t for the news provided by the daily news system, he would never take off his clothes and soak in it. Sometimes, green represents not only life and hats, but also poisonous gases.

“Pfft!”

As I dived in, I was suddenly shocked.

comfortable.

It’s like a person who hasn’t had any water in the desert for several days and nights suddenly encounters cool spring water, replenishing his body like crazy.

In a blink of an eye, it was late at night.

When He Sheng opened his eyes, the pond had dried up, not a drop of water left.

“what?”

Three messages appeared in sight.

“It’s been so long?”

[Daily Intelligence ① (green), the second and third elders are seriously injured and bedridden, unable to move for three months. A total of 12 hall masters, 45 leaders, and 781 disciples died under the hands of both sides. The total cost of this battle for both sides: 367,219 taels and 5 cents of silver.]

“.”

It’s so violent!
[Daily Intelligence ② (Green), the Fourth Elder lost an arm, the Sixth Elder lost an eye, and the Seventh Elder lost a leg. The leaders of both sides did not want to get involved in the mess between the two and rejected their call.]

Well, the people under my command rebelled.

Speaking of which, it’s normal.

The Fourth Elder had a bad reputation and liked to mess around with men. Those hall masters and leaders were all worried. Moreover, on the way to the cave, he vaguely heard people discussing whether any of the Fourth Elder’s men had offered themselves to him and stuck their butts out.

If he were the head of the Fourth Elder’s Hall, he would definitely have to draw a clear line between them.

As for the six and seven elders, they were unpopular to begin with. It was a bit disgusting to let his subordinates fight for his reputation.

Seeing that the Fourth Elder’s men were the first to rebel, it would be strange for them to hold back. Moreover, they might not have the intention to change their faction.

After all, it is not nice to say that the elders in your family had men do that to them when they were young. It is really embarrassing.

[Daily Intelligence ③ (Green), the Eighth Elder was careless and was ambushed by the Fifth Elder and the Qi Training Realm assassin. He is dead. In addition, another group of assassins will soon arrive in Sanshui City, preparing to conduct an all-round and complete extermination of all the descendants of the Eighth Elder.]

It’s a mess. It’s a complete mess.
