The sixth volume of the dance of demons 1228 sky-high prices
After some exchanges, Liu Ming learned that these three people were just like him. Due to some unknown reasons, they accidentally strayed to the wild continent where the monster clan was located. After some twists and turns, they came to Luo City and
Rented it.
Among them, the Taoist priest surnamed Yan and the young woman surnamed Jing are also from the Zhongtian Continent, from two not-so-famous Wannian sects.
The strong man named Ge was said to be from a place called Wuhuhai. Although Liu Ming had never heard of it, judging from the experiences he described, he must have been in a place similar to Canghai.
Liu Ming did not hide anything about his identity. The Taoist priest surnamed Yan and the young woman surnamed Jing immediately showed awe in their faces when they heard that Liu Ming was a monk from the Taiqing Sect. The strong man surnamed Ge also yearned for the four great Taizongs of Zhongtian Continent.
It seems that he has heard the introduction from the other two people].
Liu Ming saw the expressions of several people in his eyes, took a sip of spiritual tea, and said with a smile:
"Three fellow Taoists came to visit me together. I guess they are not here to chat. I don't know what is going on. I am all ears."
When the three of them heard this, they couldn't help but look at each other, and then Yan Qing laughed and said:
"Fellow Daoist Liu is really quick to talk, so Yan won't beat around the bush. If I'm not mistaken, Daoist Daoist's purpose should be the same as mine, which is to take the Blood Vine Clan's sea-crossing giant boat and head to the Zhongtian Continent.
?”
"What Brother Yan said is true. I came here for this matter. Unfortunately, I came a step too late. I heard that a few years ago, a large cross-sea ship just set sail. Could it be that the three of you missed it by chance?" Liu Ming nodded.
, and then said with some surprise.
When the three of them heard this, they all had wry smiles on their faces.
"To be fair to Fellow Daoist Liu, Yan has been here in Luo City for more than seventy years. Fairy Jing and Fellow Daoist Ge came here earlier than before. They are both over a hundred years ago." Yan Qing looked at the young woman named Jing and Zhuang Ge.
Han glanced at him and said this.
Hearing this, the other two nodded helplessly.
"Why are those three still here? Could it be that... there are some other conditions required to board the huge cross-sea boat?" Liu Ming said a little strangely.
He has also collected some information about the giant ships across the sea over the years, but because it is too far away from Luo City, most of them are fragmentary rumors.
However, in that information, apart from mentioning that a large sum of spiritual stones is required to ride on a sea-crossing giant ship, there does not seem to be any other harsh conditions.
"Haha, apart from the spiritual stones, there are really no other requirements for boarding the giant cross-sea boat." The young woman surnamed Jing looked bitter and shook her head.
Liu Ming immediately breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and at the same time, there was a trace of confusion on his face.
"I guess Fellow Daoist Liu hasn't asked yet how much spiritual stones it costs to ride a giant boat, right?" Seeing Liu Ming's expression, Yan Qing seemed to understand something, so he said.
"I just arrived in Luo City today. I haven't had time to go out yet. From what Fellow Taoist Yan said, it's possible that the spiritual stones needed to ride the giant boat are quite expensive?" Liu Ming put down his tea cup and said with a slight frown.
"Not only is it expensive, the number of spiritual stones required is beyond what ordinary true elixir cultivators like us can afford." The strong man surnamed Ge, who had been rarely speaking, said angrily.
"Oh, but I don't know how many spiritual stones are needed?" Liu Ming asked in a deep voice.
Yan Qing sighed and reported a number that stunned both Liu Ming and Qian Ruping: 500 million spirit stones per person.
Liu Ming's face froze when he heard this. Five hundred million spirit stones, even for the Taiqing Sect, was not a small amount. If it were in Yunchuan Continent, I'm afraid that all the large and small sects together might not be able to come up with it.
And since his trip to the Nine Netherworld, he doesn't have too many ready-made spirit stones now. He left some with the Barbarian Ghost Sect in Canghai. He spent a lot of money without any scruples along the way in this barbaric continent. Now, at best, there are not many. It's only about 20 to 30 million. Even if you sell all the spiritual materials and herbs on your body, you may not be able to get a quota, not to mention that you can't just leave Gan Ruping alone.
"Looking at Fellow Daoist Liu's expression, he shouldn't be able to produce so many spirit stones. The same goes for me and others. Fortunately, our cultivation levels are not weak. As long as we don't provoke those big forces in this wild continent, we can protect ourselves. There is still no danger. However, if we act alone, we can only take on some small tasks, so the three of us have been working together over the years, taking on some tasks with larger spiritual stone rewards, and at the same time hunting monsters all over the continent. , collecting spiritual materials and slowly accumulating the spiritual stones needed to ride on the giant boat." Yan Qing glanced at Liu Ming and explained lightly.
"Fifty million spiritual stones is indeed a bit overwhelming." When the other party said this, Liu Ming naturally roughly guessed the purpose of the three people's visit this time.
"I wonder if Fellow Daoist Liu is interested in joining us? I believe that if the four of us join forces, we can take on most of the tasks, and we can also go to some more dangerous places. This will increase the speed of accumulating spiritual stones a lot. Yan Qing looked at Liu Ming expectantly and asked.
When Liu Ming heard this, he had a thoughtful look on his face.
Seeing this, Yan Qing and the other three exchanged glances.
"Fellow Daoist Fei Liu is not interested in this? Based on the experience of the three of us in the wild continent for so many years, Yan believes that there is no faster way to earn spirit stones than this." Yan Qing said anxiously.
"Liu has just arrived in Luo City and doesn't know much about everything here, so I plan to rest for a while and then contact a few fellow Taoists after I think about it." Liu's eyes flashed slightly. This is what he said in his mouth.
When the three of them heard this, they were a little stunned, and then showed a wry smile.
Although Liu Ming said this, he had already expressed a vague intention of evading.
"It seems that Fellow Daoist Liu already has a way to earn spiritual stones. In this case, Yan can't force it. But after all, we are all human monks, and now we are in a foreign country. We should take care of each other in everything. After all, we are here Although the demon clan is not hostile to us human monks, they are not very friendly either. If you need help with anything in the future, Daoist Liu Dao, just come to me and leave first." Yan Qing stood up. , said with a slightly regretful tone.
The young woman surnamed Jing and the strong man surnamed Ge also stood up and their attitude became obviously colder. After saying hello, they walked outside.
After Yan Qing bowed his hands to Liu Ming, he also said goodbye and left.
Liu Ming sent the three of them out of the cave, waved his hand and cast a spell, and the door of the cave slowly closed.
Liu Ming stood still and thought about his strength.
He had never expected that it would cost so much to take a sea-crossing giant boat.
But it’s normal to think about it. From the Wilderness Continent to the Zhongtian Continent, ordinary means will definitely not be able to get there. Even through the huge cross-sea boat with the Cave Heaven Spiritual Treasure, it will take a full fifty years to know the distance. It's so far away and the journey is so difficult.
He believed that activating this cave treasure would require an astronomical amount of resources.
For him, it's not just 500 million, but a full billion.
After Liu Ming thought about it for a moment, he already had some thoughts in his heart, and then turned around and walked back to the living room.
In the living room, Gan Ruping had already walked out and looked at Liu Ming with an unnatural look on his face.
"Ruping, did you hear our conversation just now?" Liu Ming glanced at Qian Ruping and said slowly.
After Gan Ruping nodded, his face turned slightly pale.
Although she was a high-level monk of the Tianyue Sect in the Canghai Domain, with a large amount of cultivation resources at her disposal, and a lot of offerings every month, the largest number of spiritual stones she had ever seen was only a few million at most. Compared with the astronomical number of spiritual stones needed to cross the sea, it is not even a fraction.
"Don't worry, it's still nearly a hundred years before the giant ship sails across the sea. It's still early, and I already have the idea of earning spiritual stones. It shouldn't be a problem for the two of us to take the giant ship to Zhongtian Continent." Liu Ming suddenly said Said with a smile.
"Really?" Gan Ruping heard this, and his beautiful eyes suddenly lit up.
"Of course, but I still need to confirm some things. You go and have a rest first, and we will go shopping in Luo City tomorrow." Liu Ming said this and walked back to the secret room.
Early the next morning, when he walked out of the secret room, he found that Qian Ruping had dressed up early and was restless in the living room, looking excited and looking forward to it.
When Liu Ming saw this, he couldn't help but smile.
This little girl has obviously forgotten about the sky-high price of the ship ticket worth hundreds of millions of spiritual stones, and is only thinking about today's trip to the city.
"You're in a hurry, let's go." Liu Ming said, then took the lead and walked out.
Gan Ruping said "yes" and followed quickly.
In the early morning in Luo City, the sun was rising, and there was a cool atmosphere everywhere. Pedestrians were already flowing in the wide streets, and the shops everywhere naturally opened their doors early and began to welcome guests of all races from all over the world.
Speaking of which, the Wilderness Continent is vast, and each major race has its own local specialties. However, due to the war situation, most of the transactions were limited to neighboring tribes. Even the large and medium-sized cities that Liu Ming and his two passed through before, Only a few races operate in it.
However, in Luo City, a situation where a hundred tribes contend has truly been realized, allowing all major races to operate and trade with confidence. As the Blood Vine tribe, they only charge some fees.
After tens of thousands of years of operation, Luo City has reached such a huge scale today. Now, except for the three major clans of Shadow Wolf, Silver Tiger, and Barbarian Bear who have not yet opened stores here, the other four major clans have already settled in this city.
Obviously, the Blood Vine Tribe's ability to remain number one in this barbaric continent filled with strong men for so long is not only due to the immense strength of its leader, but also to its philosophy of life.
Liu Ming took Qian Ruping to select some shops that sold classics. During the purchase process, he found out this information and couldn't help but admire the Blood Vine Tribe's way of life.
After working for most of a day, he purchased a lot of various classics about the wilderness continent, most of which introduced spiritual materials and herbs, as well as totem secrets and some information on the eight tribes of the wilderness.
It wasn't until the sunset that the two returned to the rented cave with these classics.
