Chapter 125 Images
"This kind of person, the goods are usually on the accomplices, not on themselves. When they meet the right one, they will negotiate a good deal."
"Despite being so careful and careful, it is still inevitable that black people will eat black people. This is just to avoid being targeted by too many people."
Seeing that Niu Youdao didn't seem to know the way to go inside, he asked only layman's words, and Yuanfang looked like he didn't know anything. Hei Mudan introduced him all the way, but he was a little puzzled, worried that he might have misread it.
Lei Zongkang, Wu Sanliang, and Duan Hu who were following along looked at each other from time to time, with the same doubts in their eyes.
Lei Zongkang frowned obviously, he hesitated to speak.
"Do you usually do this?" Niu Youdao asked casually.
"There is no other way. The purchase price of those sect shops is too low, forcing people to take risks."
Hei Mudan explained with a little embarrassment, then turned around and pointed to the shops around to change the topic, "There are many shops here, just because they are sects, they are qualified to open shops here, but most of the sects that can open shops here have some strengths, and the cost of owning a shop here is not low, and the small sects are a bit too much. And the things that people in the practice use are, so don't look at the shops here, most of the things they sell are actually the same. Do it if you have it, and it doesn’t matter if you don’t.”
"Usually the shops that are serious about doing business are mostly those sects with special expertise. For example, Lingzong, because it is good at refining elixir, is the largest alchemy sect in the practice world, so it is natural to open a shop selling pills here; Qi Yunzong is the largest sect in the practice world, and it opens a magic weapon shop; Wanshoumen is good at taming birds and animals, and they sell these things; Tianxingzong, good at arrays, sells all kinds of seals. The shops opened by these sects are the real moneymakers, and these sects with specialties are naturally rich in financial resources, and many sects have direct business dealings with them."
Niu Youdao had read about these sects in "Shangqing Supplementary Records", and at this moment he was aroused by listening to them. He came here to broaden his horizons, so he couldn't help laughing and said, "Go, let's go and have a look at these sects."
Hei Mudan and others are naturally leading the way, but it is easy to find without leading the way.
As Black Peony said, these sects specialize in serious business, and the shops occupy a large area and scale, and they are very conspicuous when viewed from the city.
The party first came to the nearby Tianxingzong store. The atmosphere here is a bit special. It seems that there are many spirit tablets of the dead. In fact, they are not spirit tablets, but woodcut charms, which are similar to samples. The price is marked on it. If you need it, you will take it out and sell it.
Niu Youdao, who came into contact with it for the first time, was amazed by all kinds of spells.
The key to talisman seals is the storage and release of energy in talisman seals, which can exert different magical effects. Many monks have some refining methods, but making talisman seals with their own mana is a matter of extreme cultivation, and they must be injected with the source of life.
For example, Niu Youdao's Dharma transmission amulet is a kind of amulet made by Dong Guo Haoran from exporting his own natal Dharma source.
Under normal circumstances, no one would use their self-cultivated natal law source to do this.
According to "Shangqing Shiyilu", Tianxingzong broke through this key point, mastered the method of collecting spiritual energy outside the body and gathered it into energy, used it to the extreme, arranged it on a special carrier, and made it into talisman seals for sale.
For example, horses have physical limitations when running around, and they have to rest and recover on the way, but a certain talisman of Tianxingzong can bless the horses so that they can gallop all day long and travel quickly. However, when the energy of the talisman was exhausted, it was when the horse fell to its death. Generally, no one would use this kind of talisman except in special circumstances.
There are also talismans to ward off evil. Once this kind of talisman is used, it can generate mana fluctuations when placed at home, making approaching monsters and ghosts mistakenly think that there are monks and dare not invade.
There are also talismans such as talismans that can directly kill people under the rage of energy, and there are also immobilization talismans that can immobilize people under the restraint of energy.
However, most of these talismans are disposable, and the price is not cheap. It is almost like burning money to use, and ordinary people cannot control them, only monks can control them. But the talisman is dead, but the person is alive, and there is a certain degree of uncertainty in using it.
So Niu Youdao just came in to see and see, he had no intention of buying, and he couldn't afford anything with his money.
After leaving this store, the group went to Qi Yunzong again, where all kinds of weapons are actually sold, and various weapon customizations are accepted.
Everyone can come to Qi Yunzong to buy weapons, of course not only because the things they refine are exquisite, but the key is that they have their own secret method of refining.
Ordinary swords and swords are easy to break when cutting each other, not to mention the fierce monks. Ordinary swords are actually easy to break. Naturally, Qi Yunzong's products can solve this problem to a certain extent. The higher the price, the better.
Strolling around in the shop, Niu Youdao thought about ordering a batch of daggers for Yuan Gang, Yuanfang's Jiedao also needed to be replaced, but Qi Yunzong's things were not cheap, all they sold were so-called precious knives and swords, and the money on hand was not enough for the time being, so he could only look around.
The group came out from Qi Yunzong and strolled on the street.
Beside the street, a person stood alone at an intersection, his eyes glanced around, as if he was searching for something, after he glanced over Hei Mudan and the others inadvertently, he was startled for a moment, then quickly returned to Hei Mudan and the others, focusing on Niu Youdao's face.
After Niu Youdao and others passed by, he quietly blended into the street crowd, and followed not far or near.
Not long after, he watched Niu Youdao and others enter Lingzong's shop, but he didn't follow, but waited at the diagonally opposite street.
In the Lingzong store, Niu Youdao just strolled around casually. He didn't need the Lingyuan Pill for cultivation, but Yuanfang did. However, the two of them had limited financial resources. It was a joke to buy less, and there was no need to increase the doubts of Hei Mudan and others. They only spent a thousand gold coins to buy some wound medicine.
When the party came out, the people waiting on the street merged into the street crowd and followed.
The shops of Wanshoumen are quite interesting. All kinds of tamed birds and beasts are locked in cages for people to watch, which is an eye-opener. All are domesticated, as long as you buy it, Wanshoumen will teach the buyer how to control it.
All kinds of birds and beasts have different functions and different prices. The 'Golden Wing' used for communication is considered cheap, and it is also the most hawked.
What is really expensive is the various large birds that are kept in cages inside, some of which stand on the ground and are as tall as one foot.
These are flying mounts that can be ridden by people, and it is inconvenient for ordinary people to control them. If you sit heavily on this kind of bird, even though the bird is big, it is difficult to fly under heavy load. It is the most suitable for monks to use spells and restrain energy when driving it. It is a good thing for long-distance travel.
Nowadays, this kind of large bird is very rare in the wild. It is either caught or hunted. It is also very difficult to breed this kind of thing. It is not as simple as hatching chickens and birds. However, Wanshoumen knows how to breed and breed, which is why they are sold in Wanshoumen shops.
This kind of bird is good as a mount, but the price is ridiculously expensive, tens of millions of gold coins, not everyone can afford it.
"Not open for three years, open for three years!" Niu Youdao stared at the price and clicked his tongue.
One line can only open their eyes and take a look.
After leaving the shop at the Wanshou Gate, the group wandered around the city again. After enjoying themselves, they returned to Yaoyue Inn.
Outside the inn, some envious and jealous people pointed and muttered to the back of the black peony who disappeared in the inn.
The person who had been following behind showed up at this time, walked towards some pointing people, and asked, "What are you mumbling about here?"
"Hey! Master Huang." Several people turned their heads and saw that they were disciples of Liuxianzong, and greeted them politely.
The person who came was called Huang Engui, and he was one of the disciples of the Liuxian Sect stationed in the store here. He seemed to be just a store clerk, but for this group of casual cultivators, he was not something they could afford to provoke.
Huang Engui raised his chin towards the inn, "What are you pointing at?"
One person sighed and shook his head, and said: "Master Huang doesn't know something. Black Peony is the woman with dark skin who often hangs around in this city. Master Huang knows it?"
Huang Engui hummed, "I know, what's wrong?"
The man sighed: "Come on, you know, I guess it won't be long before we start a sect, and I don't know what method this woman used, but you can imagine, women, it's just like that, taking off your pants is worth a thousand words."
Huang Engui chuckled, and could hear the sourness in the other party's words, but he didn't care about it, so he said with a smile, "Is this a good thing, are you jealous? By the way, who did you get close to? Would someone from what family or faction recommend her as a guarantor?"
The man shook his head and said, "The lord looks quite young, so I don't know which sect he belongs to. It is estimated that there is a name on the roster registered by the shopkeeper, but Yueyue Inn will not disclose any information about the guests, nor will it tell us otherwise."
"Heh, I won't be talking nonsense with you anymore, just go and envy yourself." Huang Engui happily patted him on the shoulder, glanced at the inn, turned and left.
The man shouted: "Master Huang, why don't you help me talk to Liu Xianzong."
Huang Engui, who left, waved his back to his back, "I can't be the master, you should wait for the opportunity here!"
Even so, several people still complimented, "Master Huang, go slowly."
The shop of Liuxianzong is empty, and it is not a serious shop at all.
Huang Engui, who came back quickly, entered the store, went straight to the counter, and shouted to the shopkeeper who was sitting cross-legged behind the counter: "Master, show me the portrait again."
The shopkeeper opened his eyes, "What portrait?"
Huang Engui: "Didn't you let us all stare at the street, the picture from the Song family, Niu Youdao, I seem to have seen him just now."
"Really?" The shopkeeper Huo Ran stood up, and at the same time pulled out a roll of paper from below and threw it on the counter, motioning him to take a quick look.
