Chapter 155: Trade
"This Taoist said that his name is Zhang Fulong and he comes from Fulong Temple.
"What?"
The tiger suddenly stood up, all the majesty he had just now was gone, replaced by shock.
"Tell me again, what's his name?"
The tiger couldn't believe that what he heard was true, or the little demon had misheard it and mispronounced it as another name.
The little demon didn't know why the tiger had such a big reaction when he heard the name, but he still followed the tiger's wishes and read the words again.
"This Taoist is named Zhang Fulong, from Fulong Temple."
The little demon answered again, this time the tiger did not doubt, it was indeed Zhang Fulong.
After confirming clearly, the tiger became anxious and said to the little demon: "Where is the immortal master? I'll go quickly."
Seeing the tiger in such a hurry, the little demon did not dare to neglect and led the tiger to Zhang Fulong.
When he saw the Taoist robe Zhang Fulong was wearing, Tiger's eyes narrowed sharply. He recognized this Taoist robe and it was undoubtedly Zhang Fulong.
The tiger hurriedly saluted Zhang Fulong: "The little demon has met the immortal master."
Yes, in front of Zhang Fulong, the tiger did not dare to be presumptuous at all and could only call himself a little demon.
Zhang Fulong also looked at the tiger, as if he seemed familiar, and asked: "Who are you, that tiger in Changbai Mountain?"
"Replying to the immortal master, it is my father." The tiger replied. To be honest, it was a little excited. It didn't expect that Zhang Fulong could still remember his father.
"No wonder."
Zhang Fulong nodded, this explanation made sense. Afterwards, the tiger invited Zhang Fulong into his cave, and after calling some fruits to entertain Zhang Fulong, the tiger asked: "I wonder why the immortal master is here?"
After asking this question, the tiger had no confidence at all. If Zhang Fulong was here to ask for a crime, what would he do?
Zhang Fulong said calmly: "Pin Dao passed by Yifeng City. I heard from the city lord of Yifeng City that many caravans passing by this place have been robbed in recent days. For this reason, Ping Dao would like to ask the reason. I wonder if Tiger Tiger can give an answer?"
Sure enough, when Zhang Fulong asked this question, the tiger suddenly became sad.
Tiger King explained: "The Immortal Master is unaware of something. The method of refining Qi taught by the Immortal Master is really suitable for our demon clan. As long as you open your spiritual wisdom, you are basically on the road to refining Qi."
"This is a good thing." Zhang Fulong responded. The method of refining Qi is very suitable for the demon clan. He has already learned this from Tiandao.
However, what does this matter have to do with him coming here? Why did Tiger specifically mention this matter.
Then I heard Tiger King continue: "There are so many demon tribesmen who have developed spiritual wisdom, so there is a shortage of food.
There is another reason, that is, it is not easy for Qi refiners to be able to escape from grains. They need to reach the peak of refining Qi before they can completely escape from grains. Compared with cultivators, the cycle is much longer.
The little demon is the king of the mountain, but sometimes he is powerless. We demons don’t have the talent for planting like humans, so we have no choice but to obtain food through robbery.
However, the little demon had told them to only take goods and not to hurt anyone, otherwise they would be riddled with calamity and would be detrimental to their practice. "
The tiger talked a lot, and Zhang Fulong finally understood. It seemed that he still had to bear the blame.
The tiger is right. Compared with cultivators, Qi practitioners start fasting later. Cultivators can break away from grains when they reach the early stage of foundation building, while Qi refiners can't break away from grains until they reach the peak of refining qi. This stage is equivalent to the peak of foundation building among cultivators.
The time span from the early stage of foundation building to the peak of foundation building is not one or two days, or one month, or two months, but several years or even decades.
With this accumulating over time, it is no wonder that the demon clan has food shortages. Zhang Fulong guessed that this phenomenon occurred not only in Yifeng City, but also in other places.
Fortunately, Yifeng City is under the control of tigers. These monsters only grab goods and do not hurt people. Other places may not be so lucky.
"It's because the poor man didn't think carefully before preaching."
Zhang Fulong took the initiative to take the blame. When the tiger heard this, he quickly said: "Don't dare. This matter has nothing to do with the immortal master. It's just the nature of my demon clan and my technical ability is not strong."
How dare you, the tiger, let Zhang Fulong take the blame? Is there anything wrong with the method of cultivation that others taught you? If you have the ability, don't learn it. Then you'll be the same as before, with no problem at all.
Zhang Fulong thought for a moment, and then said: "Pindao has a suggestion here. I wonder what the tiger thinks of it?"
The tiger said respectfully: "Master Immortal, please speak."
"Pindao can go back and propose to the city lord of Yifeng City to find a place outside Yifeng City to open up mutual markets. Whatever the needs of humans and monsters can be obtained through transactions here."
Zhang Fulong had this idea that he had seen when he traveled around the world before. At that time, merchants on the border traded with foreign barbarians in this way.
Now it just so happens that this method can be implemented in the relationship between the human race and the demon race. Both parties will exchange things for what they need. In this way, there will be fewer disputes.
When the tiger heard this method, he felt that it was feasible and would be a guarantee for his demon clan, so he thanked Zhang Fulong and said, "Little demon, on behalf of my demon clan, I would like to thank the immortal master for his love."
"It's okay, but during this period of time, I hope the tiger will restrain his men and stop plundering."
Zhang Fulong warned the tiger, he was afraid that if he went back and told Ji Liuyun that something bad happened in Qilian Mountain again, he would be slapped in the face.
Zhang Fulong still hopes that the human race and the demon race can live in peace.
"Please rest assured, Immortal Master, the little demon will definitely restrain his subordinates."
The mountain king quickly promised that Zhang Fulong had helped so much, and if he couldn't even do this, he would have no face to see Zhang Fulong again.
Seeing that the mountain king promised, Zhang Fulong didn't say anything more. He stayed in Qilian Mountain for one night. When the next day dawned, Zhang Fulong set off to return to Yifeng City and came to the City Lord's Mansion.
Seeing Zhang Fulong turn around so quickly, Ji Liuyun was a little surprised, thinking, Zhang Fulong got it done so quickly?
"Master, is the journey smooth?" Ji Liuyun confirmed with Zhang Fulong.
Zhang Fulong nodded and said, "The mountain king is quite friendly to me."
If the mountain king was here and heard Zhang Fulong's words, he would definitely say, you don't even look at your own identity, how can I not treat you well?
Then, Zhang Fulong told Ji Liuyun about the idea of human and demon trade, wanting to ask him what he thought.
After listening to it, Ji Liuyun frowned slightly and his face was not very good.
Zhang Fulong also noticed it and asked, "Does City Lord Ji have any unspeakable secrets?"
"No, it's not."
Ji Liuyun quickly denied it, and then said, "Master, this is a good idea. I am worried about how to ensure that the demons will not mess around after the two sides open up the trade."
