"The Great Tang Calendar, one hundred and twelve years of longevity."
Xia Xiaofei stood in this city called Chaolu, in a crowded street, looking slightly in a trance.
Twenty-four years is enough time for the real world to undergo profound changes and for a generation to undergo great changes.
But in this land of immortals and demons, this little time is just an insignificant embellishment on its long journey.
It is the same as it was twenty-four years ago, with almost no changes.
"Yes, ten years in the game, one year in reality, more than two years in reality, but twenty-four years have passed in the game.
That’s it...Made!
I lost 10% of the property I had stored at Qingxiao Bank, and it would have been better for me to walk through the knife's edge."
The bank's management fees are exorbitant.
Xia Xiaofei didn't hesitate anymore and hurriedly found the branch of Qingxiao Bank in this city.
Qingxiao Bank recognized the account number but not the person. When Xia Xiaofei told him the account and password, the shopkeeper in charge of the reception, a kind-looking little old man, fiddled with a thin transparent jade book page in his hand and smiled.
asked:
"That's right. On the sixth day of September in the eighty-eighth year of the Changsheng Calendar, the guest deposited one top-quality spiritual stone, one hundred and twenty-six high-grade spiritual stones, and a total of fifty middle- and low-grade spiritual stones at Qingshui Fucheng branch in Fuyang County.
Sixty-three thousand.
There is also a medium-grade magic weapon flying sword with an estimated value of 300 high-grade spiritual stones, a storage spirit ring with an estimated value of 20 high-grade spiritual stones, three kilograms and two taels of iron essence, an estimated value of 300 high-grade spiritual stones, and three gold crystals.
, estimated at sixty high-grade spiritual stones.
The stored items are worth a total of 6,943,000 spiritual stones.
Excuse me, sir, are there any omissions in the accounts?"
Xia Xiaofei nodded and said, "Not bad."
When the last mission was approaching, he replaced all the treasures in his hands with the most practical spiritual stones. Only iron gold crystals were used as flying sword materials, which were quite difficult to find on weekdays, so he kept them.
The shopkeeper nodded with a smile and said: "Okay, since the guest officer approves, then we can continue.
Today is the fifth day of the fifth month of the 112th year of the Changsheng Calendar. The guest has deposited his property at our bank for a total of twenty-three years and eight months. Any part of one year will be counted as one year.
Therefore, the guest has been deposited in our bank for a total of 24 years, and a management fee of 0.5% per year is charged. The guest should pay 833,160 spiritual stones.
I wonder if the guest officer has any objections?"
Xia Xiaofei shook his head and said, "No."
The shopkeeper said with his head: "Then, sir, should I choose to withdraw cash or items?"
Xia Xiaofei asked: "Is there any difference between the two?"
The shopkeeper explained: "If you want to withdraw cash, I can immediately pay the full amount of spiritual stones for the guest. If you want to withdraw items, I have to contact the Qingshui City branch first and they will transfer the guest's items.
Therefore, the customer will have to wait a few more days, and the cost of object delivery will also have to be borne by the customer.
Well, let me see."
The shopkeeper flicked the pages in his hand again and brought up the map of Qingxiao Road.
"Qingshui City is more than 1.2 million miles away from our city. You don't have many items. You can put them all in the storage ring and send them. According to the minimum standard, there is one point of spiritual stone for each mile, so you only need
Just pay twelve thousand spiritual stones."
Xia Xiaofei naturally wants his own magical weapon, the Flying Sword.
In order to refine this flying sword, he worked very hard and even died once. Moreover, the flying sword has already been integrated with his soul. If he changes to the magic weapon, he doesn't know how long it will take to get used to it.
So Xia Xiaofei chose the latter without hesitation.
Upon seeing this, the shopkeeper immediately issued a receipt and attached his name, mana mark, semicolon seal, and pickup time.
"By virtue of this article, the guest can take away the guest's items from the trumpet after January. If January does not arrive, the trumpet will have delayed compensation for each day of delay, up to twice the original price of the item."
Xia Xiaofei got the receipt and couldn't help but say:
"You are quite service-minded."
At the same time, I was vomiting in my heart, could it be that every player has sneaked into Qingxiao Dao City now? Isn't this just logistics and express delivery, and even delayed insurance has been incurred.
The shopkeeper laughed and said somewhat proudly:
"Our Qingxiao Bank is able to gain a foothold in the entire Qingxiao Dao, not only because of the Taoist master's reputation, but also because we strictly abide by the rules, treat our customers with absolute confidentiality, and provide good service. Therefore, everyone must give some face to the immortal and demon monks."
At this moment, a scream came from outside the house.
"Shopkeeper, our goods have been robbed!!"
The shopkeeper's smile froze on his face, and his momentum suddenly burst out, making Xia Xiaofei breathless.
He never expected that the shopkeeper in front of him, who looked harmless and smiling, was actually a Nascent Soul monk.
"Sir, something happened. I'll go take care of it."
The shopkeeper's momentum disappeared in a flash, and then he cupped his hands towards Xia Xiaofei, opened the door, looked at the waiter who came to report the news and said:
"What's going on? Who dares to do anything to our Qingxiao Bank people?"
The waiter wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, looking a little panicked.
"It's the Yin and Yang demons. They didn't know why they went crazy. They intercepted and killed the escort delivering the goods on the way. When I received the letter, they had already run away."
"Can't run away!"
The shopkeeper snorted coldly: "You wait until Haosheng looks at the money number, I will come back as soon as I go!"
He instantly flew into the sky and disappeared into the distance.
On normal days, he would have reported it to his superiors and handed it over to the Lingwei of Qingxiao Bank who specialized in dealing with such matters.
After all, what he was robbing was the bank's goods, and he only got twenty high-grade spiritual stones a month, so why would he risk his life?
But just now he had spoken to both immortals and demons to give him face, and the next moment someone told him that his goods had been robbed.
Has this been stolen?
This is when he was hit in the face!
Stealing goods is a trivial matter, but hitting him in the face is absolutely intolerable.
This situation must be recovered.
About two hours later.
The shopkeeper carried two mud-like monks down from the sky full of evil spirits.
"Bring them to the county government and interrogate them carefully. Two Jindan monks dare to rob our bank's goods."
"The power of the shopkeeper!"
The waiters cheered and took the two retired monks to the county government office.
The shopkeeper nodded with satisfaction, with most of the anger in his heart gone. He looked at Xia Xiaofei who was respectfully standing aside and said:
"Huh? The guest officer hasn't left yet."
Xia Xiaofei laughed dryly and said, "Didn't the senior ask the junior to wait?"
"Although I haven't seen the junior Yin and Yang Demons before, he is also a golden elixir cultivator. After robbing the goods, he ran away. I originally thought that it would take a lot of time even for the seniors.
But I never thought that my senior could do it so quickly due to his vast magical powers. I just wanted to ask the clerk if he had any guest rooms."
"Ha ha!"
The shopkeeper was very impressed by Xia Xiaofei's compliment, and waved his hand and said:
"The guest officer is a customer of the bank and my guest. You don't have to be so polite. But it's not that I have great powers, it's that the Yin and Yang demons don't know how to live or die.
If our bank dares to deliver goods throughout Qingxiao Road, all goods have already been marked with our bank's prohibition.
Unless they are willing to abandon the goods, we will inevitably find them.
That is to say, these two demons came from a small place and have no knowledge, otherwise they would not dare to take advantage of our bank's goods."
"I see."
Xia Xiaofei still maintained a humble attitude.
"However, it is also due to the advanced cultivation of the seniors. If it were the juniors who found the two demons, I am afraid they would not be their opponents."
"You're welcome, sir. I see that you are full of energy and full of vitality. I am afraid that you are on the verge of a breakthrough.
Maybe it won’t be long before I have to call you Taoist friend.”
If this were not the case, the shopkeeper would receive eight, if not ten, guests a day, so there would be no need to pay so much attention.
Isn't it a good relationship?
At this moment, the shopkeeper seemed to remember something:
"By the way, this time the two demons of Yin and Yang got mad and dared to rob the goods. Perhaps it was because this time there was an Infant Transformation Pill in the goods.
This is a treasure that the auction house in the city entrusted our bank to deliver. If you are interested, you can go to the auction house to buy this elixir.
With the help of the Infant Transformation Pill, I can gain a little more confidence in breaking through the Nascent Soul."
"Thank you, senior, for reminding me." Xia Xiaofei smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Huaying Dan is extremely precious, and I am short of money, so I'm afraid I won't be able to steal it from others."
"Well, that's such a pity."
The shopkeeper did not show contempt, but said with relief:
"With the guest officer's age, it won't matter if you wait a few more years."
As the saying goes, don't bully young people into poverty.
In the world of cultivation, the definition of a boy is different depending on the realm.
For a Jindan cultivator like Xia Xiaofei, there is no problem in calling him a young man before he is 200 years old.
The shopkeeper's color was sinister, and it was obvious that Xia Xiaofei was definitely no more than a hundred years old.
Xia Xiaofei paused for a moment, then changed the subject and asked:
"Junior heard that the Qingxiao Taoist Master is standing behind Qingxiao Bank. As the treasurer of Qingxiao Bank, senior, I wonder if you know the commander of Qingxiao Legion?"
The shopkeeper did not answer directly, but asked:
"The guest wants to see the legion commander, but what's the matter?"
Xia Xiaofei smiled bitterly and said: "This junior comes from an ordinary background, and after reaching the current level of cultivation, he is already a little unable to do what he wants.
In fact, in order to break through this last level, this junior has traveled a million miles and wasted more than twenty years, but has not yet found an opportunity to break through.
So the junior thought about joining the legion.
I heard that the Qingxiao Legion is a holy land for civilian monks like us. As long as we work hard and make meritorious deeds, we don’t need any background or background to get the same treatment as those disciples of the big sects.
If you have enough military merit, you can even ask Master Qingxiao to accept you as a disciple."
The shopkeeper laughed again and said:
"No wonder, no wonder, you, a monk from Qingshui City, can actually come to our Chaolu City. It turns out that you are doing hard work to achieve a breakthrough.
However, the Golden Elixir Yuanying seems to be separated by a layer, but it is a world of difference. Less than 10% of the Golden Elixir monks can break through the Yuanying realm.
This is still under the current situation where the spiritual energy environment is getting better and better. In the past, if the golden elixir wanted to break through the Nascent Soul, it would not be even 1%.
It makes sense that you cannot break through for the time being.
As for you wanting to join the Legion, you've found the right person.
Twenty years ago, I was the deputy captain of the 2,000-man regiment of the 40,000-man regiment of the first legion of Qingxiao Daocheng. I was ordered by the Taoist Lord to retire from the army and join Qingxiao Bank."
"It's a pity that this bank has huge profits and there are too many people who are just trying to make ends meet.
I couldn't stand the calculations of these bastards and offended a certain big shot, so I came to Chaolu City to become the shopkeeper of such a small semicolon."
"If you enter the legion through my relationship, you may offend some people. Those are big shots that even I can't afford to offend."
The shopkeeper looked at Xia Xiaofei playfully.
"I am quite impressed by your boy. Now I can give you a choice. Whether I agree with it or not, I will not blame you."
Xia Xiaofei couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
He didn't expect that he would pull out a big fish when he asked casually.
He originally just saw that the shopkeeper had a high level of cultivation and was an insider of the Qingxiao system. He might be able to gain connections with the legion through the shopkeeper.
After all, the Legion is not that easy to join.
In today's era, Qingxiao Daocheng is suppressing the city, and the Qingxiao Legion has become famous along with Qingxiao Daocheng. The names of several legion commanders are enough to make the gods-level forces surrender.
In the era of the rise of Qingxiao Daocheng, countless monks joined the legion to change their destiny, and perhaps the shopkeeper in front of him was among them.
But now, the legion doesn't care about their cultivation when selecting people, but pays more attention to their integrity. It doesn't matter if their cultivation is low, it's better to train them.
For a half-way monk like him, it would be more difficult for him to join the legion than for ordinary low-level monks.
And even if you join, it may only be a cannon fodder camp or a mercenary camp, and you will not be able to enter the core of the legion.
His series of missions is "Sealing the King".
In order to complete the final mission, according to Xia Xiaofei's guess, he must at least exert some power and leave a name in the process of the Qingxiao Dao Master becoming the king.
Otherwise, even if the mission is completed just by playing with soy sauce, the game will be too gentle for players like them.
This is a death game in which the mortality rate in the first mission reaches nearly 70%.
So, Xia Xiaofei raised his head with a smile and said:
"Thanks to the respect of my seniors, how can I not understand my kindness? If I can be recommended by my seniors, my juniors will definitely keep this kindness in my heart.
As for if we encounter some ill-will in the future, it will be due to bad luck for the younger generation, no wonder for the seniors."
"Hahaha……"
The shopkeeper laughed, looked at Xia Xiaofei with even more satisfied eyes, and his words became a little more friendly.
"No wonder I feel friendly to you as soon as I see you. You are not bad, not bad, courageous and knowledgeable. I didn't want to use my previous relationship, but the big words have already been spoken, so I will make an exception.
But I didn’t lie to you just now. I did offend a big shot, a venerable god-transformer.
But he was already dead. After being reported by the old man, Lord Fang, commanded by the Tsing Yi Guards, personally nailed him to the wall of Daocheng.
Therefore, I was feared by the senior management of the bank and did not dare to confront me openly, so I was transferred to such a small place."
"hiss……"
Xia Xiaofei took a breath of cold air.
Good guy, this amiable shopkeeper in front of me actually killed a god-turned-vener.
According to the game level, he must be at least level 60 or above.
"Senior is mighty! Even the Reverend God Transformation can't do anything to Senior."
The shopkeeper waved his hand and said indifferently:
"Then you think highly of me. I was just the personal guard of the commander of the First Legion for a period of time back then, so I have some connections in the army now.
As for the commander of the First Legion, you know, he is not the bald one now, but Commander Li, who was still the sworn brother of our Taoist back then."
"hiss!!!!"
Xia Xiaofei felt his eyes suddenly light up as the room became warmer.
Damn, why is this old man suddenly glowing with gold?
