After Xuanzi left, Kong Laosan returned to the cave, thought about it carefully, slowly suppressed some thoughts in his heart, closed his eyes and meditated, and fell into concentration.
Early the next morning, Kong Laosan left the cave directly, turned into a stream of light, and once again flew towards Tianmeng Island where the headquarters of the Beihai Business Alliance was located. He had just arrived in the North Sea, and according to Kong Laosan’s past
His habit is not to do anything out of the ordinary until he is familiar with everything around him. Now what Kong Laosansuo has to do is to fully understand the rules and conditions here as soon as possible and fully integrate into the Beihai cultivator group.
For half a month, Kong Laosan never left Tianmeng Island. What he did every day was to walk around, go to teahouses and restaurants to sit and watch the scenery, or go in and out of some shops, hang out among some vendors, and learn about some things.
actual situation.
As for the invitation from the woman named Xu, Kong Laosan naturally didn't pay much attention to it.
On the outskirts of Tianmeng Island, especially among some vendors, spirit stones can still be used as currency, but compared to the ten-to-one exchange rate, if you buy them with spirit stones, you need to pay two more levels of price.
It is completely opposite to the exchange rate on the black market mentioned by Xuanzi.
Of course, most of the cultivators who travel around the Tianmeng Island are not very high-level. They are usually in the stage of refining Qi and building foundations. Golden elixir cultivators are rarely seen, and most of these cultivators are casual cultivators.
Constrained by the Beihai Merchant Alliance, Kong Laosan traveled among these cultivators. In order to avoid unnecessary attention, he also hid his strength in the later stages of foundation building.
Compared with the slightly messy places in the periphery, the area between the Merchant Alliance headquarters and the periphery is obviously much more organized. On both sides of the road, there are many shops, alchemy rooms, equipment pavilions, talisman shops, beasts, etc., everything you need, almost including repair shops.
All the needs in the fairy world, of course, since most of these shops are affiliated with the Merchant Alliance, the only transaction currency that can be used is contribution points.
Similarly, the management here is also very strict. The waiters in each store must wear uniform white robes, and the store counters and plaques have the same specifications. Even some disheveled practitioners are not allowed to enter.
Those who can come here are at least those with cultivation levels above Foundation Establishment. Perhaps most of the things here are traded from far away places by the merchant alliance. They are not expensive in other places, and are even quite common.
Everything here requires multiple times of contribution points to purchase. Therefore, compared to the bustling scene with people coming and going in the surrounding area, it can be said to be quite clean. Of course, this kind of cleanliness is also relative. In fact, everyone
There are still a lot of cultivators coming and going in this shop, but most of them are in groups of twos and threes. There are very few people like Kong Laosan wandering alone.
In the center, where the headquarters of the Beihai Merchant Alliance is located, especially in Tianmen where people submit tasks in exchange for contribution points, there is a huge flow of people every day, and the level of commotion even reaches the outskirts of Tianmeng Island.
In addition to being responsible for registering new cultivators who join the Beihai Business Alliance, Tian Tian also accepts task submissions in exchange for contribution points.
The crystal wall of the door is used to record various extremely precious materials and spiritual objects unique to the North Sea. Everything that can be listed on this crystal wall can be described as a "treasure of heaven, material and earth".
Some spiritual creatures may be able to add the word "legend" before their names.
In the northwest corner of the sky, on a pillar that can be hugged by ten people, an oval crystal wall is perfectly embedded in it. At a glance, nearly two hundred kinds of material spiritual objects are listed on it. After each spiritual object,
The price of the required contribution points was clearly marked. Kong Laosan raised his eyes and scanned it. At the top, the four bright ancient characters "Beihai Mithril" suddenly came into view.
Even with Kong Laosan's forbearance, when he first saw the four words in front of him, he couldn't help but feel a sense of ecstasy in his heart. However, when his eyes shifted and fell on the subsequent contribution point, his originally angry thoughts seemed to be
Instantly, a basin of cold water was poured on my heart, which instantly made it feel cold. In the end, I licked my lips helplessly.
One hundred million contribution points, if converted into spirit stones, would cost about one billion spirit stones. This made Kong Laosan, who originally thought he was worth a lot, suddenly feel shy. In addition, it was clearly marked on it, one hundred million contribution points.
The "North Sea Mithril" that can be redeemed is only about two taels, and Kong Laosan refines the "Evil-Slaying" magic sword. Even if one or two "North Sea Mithril" is added to each sword, it will cost at least seven taels.
There should be no mistakes in the refining process, otherwise the materials will be damaged and everything will be in vain.
Kong Laosan sighed secretly in his heart, and slowly moved his gaze downwards. In addition to "North Sea Mithril", there are about a dozen more precious weapon refining materials that are closely related to the "Evil Killing" magic sword, but Kong Laosan
There was no news about the other two legendary magic sword materials, "Dead Water Sands" and "Netherworld Spring Water", which made Kong Laosan quite disappointed.
Of course, as the place where the entire Beihai Merchant Alliance has the most frequent contacts with the outside world, in addition to these functions, the huge area of Tianben and the density of people coming and going also provide convenience for some cultivators to join forces and form teams to kill monsters.
Some cultivators go back and forth in Dazhong, looking for those cultivators who have not yet joined any team. Once the other party agrees, they can join immediately.
In addition to some teams with fixed members, there are also some stronger cultivators who like to work alone. These cultivators usually have the strength of the Golden Core or above and are lonely. Of course, as long as they can afford the price, these cultivators can
They will also join certain teams, which is equivalent to a type of hireling.
Kong Laosan was wandering around Dali, but he found that the place was much noisier than usual today. However, when he heard the two cultivators talking quietly, he instantly understood that today is the first day of this month. In other words, since
Starting from this month, Kong Laosan will complete the designated tasks assigned by the business alliance every month.
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but feel a little blocked in my heart. Although Kong Laosan was not afraid of the backlash of the blood contract, with his current strength in the early stage of the Golden Core, if he wanted to resist the Beihai Merchant Alliance, he would undoubtedly be hitting the stone with an egg. Of course, Kong Laosan would not do that.
Doing this is just in my heart
Just a little reluctant.
However, no matter how unwilling you are, under the current circumstances, you can only bow your head and accept it.
He looked around Dazhong, and finally his eyes fell on the cabinet where the submitted tasks were received. After thinking about it, he walked directly in that direction.
After the seven or eight people in front finished handing over, Kong Laosan stepped forward and handed over the transparent ancient jade in his hand.
"It turns out it's Senior Kong. Elder Feng has already told me that if Senior Kong comes here, he only needs to complete the tasks in this jade slip within a month."
In front of the cabinet is a young man with a handsome face. He looks about sixteen or seventeen years old. He is wearing a white robe uniformed by the merchant alliance. He exudes an air of elegance. At a glance, he looks like the worldly young men who have read poetry and books.
Juncai is somewhat similar, but more elegant and refined.
Kong Laosan glanced at the young man, nodded lightly, and said nothing. After taking the jade slip, he put it directly between his eyebrows to explore. However, after a moment, a look of dumbfounding appeared on his face. The mission recorded in the jade slip,
It was actually exactly the same mission that the woman named Xu took over, which was to hunt down three tiger sharks that had reached the seventh level.
But now, the woman surnamed Xu had already left for the distant sea a few days ago and just missed it. In this case, Kong Laosan was helpless.
After a while, Kong Laosan seemed to have made a decision. He put the jade slips into his storage bag, then turned his head and said slowly, "What is the ratio of spiritual stones to exchange for contribution points?"
Hearing Kong Laosan's question, the young man was stunned for a moment, and then he realized what he had done next. He smiled gently and said, "We exchange contribution points at a ratio of ten to one here. I wonder how many seniors need to exchange?"
Hearing this, Kong Laosan made some calculations in his mind and said calmly, "Let's redeem three million contribution points first."
As soon as Kong Laosan finished speaking, the originally gentle young man's face suddenly turned red. He seemed to be choked by Kong Laosan's words. He coughed twice before he could suppress the discomfort in his body.
Next, seeing Kong Laosan's expressionless look, he immediately straightened his face and said, "Senior is laughing at me. With so many contributions, I'm afraid we need to ask our steward to come in person. If nothing happens, senior
If so, can you wait a moment?"
Kong Laosan nodded indifferently, but still said, "It's best to hurry up, Kong doesn't have much time."
The young man nodded, flipped his palm, and a piece of yellow talisman paper suddenly appeared in his hand. He murmured a few words, and with a slight shake, the talisman paper spontaneously ignited without wind, turned into a wisp of fire, escaped from the sky, and disappeared without a trace.
.
About half an hour later, a middle-aged man hurriedly came to the sky and saw Kong Laosan waiting in front of the cabinet. He smiled apologetically and said, "I must be Taoist Master Kong. My surname is Luo. I have a single name."
"Fengzi, I have been delayed for a while on some matters. Please don't blame me, fellow Taoist. This is not the place to talk. Fellow Taoist, please come with me."
After saying a few polite words to each other, the middle-aged steward named Luo Feng led Kong Laosan towards the second floor.
