Chapter 142 The business of the two worlds is not connected
The market is hidden in the mountains, and once you enter the formation, you can see the whole thing clearly.
This is also a city, covering a very large area.
The bricks and stones are all unusual and even have runes engraved on them.
Overall, the layout of this city is the foundation of a formation.
Inside and outside the city, the elites of Chu were stationed to maintain order.
"There is only one soldier, and his skills are not very high."
"But their swords and armor seem to be engraved with runes."
"Everyone is prosperous, and both suffer losses."
"Ten people form a team, and their combat power soars."
"A crowd of hundreds of people can defeat a real person."
Zhuang Ming glanced over and felt that these people had good energy and blood, and were no longer ordinary warriors. They were vaguely similar to those of Heng Lian's Golden Body, but they were not Heng Lian's Golden Body, and their power was still within the level of a warrior.
This is a military training method modified by Da Chu based on the Taoist military methods of the five great immortal sects. It can allow Da Chu's elite to pose a threat to practitioners and thereby maintain order in Da Chu.
However, there are advantages and disadvantages.
For Da Chu, it is advantageous to have strong troops and strong horses.
But for the soldiers themselves, it is difficult to live long.
"Nie Ping's method of igniting the fire in his heart is to lose his foundation in exchange for temporary strength."
"They waste the vitality in the second half of their lives and become strong in the first half of their lives."
"When you are young, your body is strong, which is not bad. But after forty, your vitality is low, diseases occur, and your life is difficult to survive."
With this thought in mind, Zhuang Ming withdrew his gaze, drove the carriage, and entered the market.
——
In a daze, Zhuang Ming seemed to have returned to Anman Village in Huaibei.
"Is this a market for practitioners?"
Zhuang Ming glanced over, and from the overall atmosphere, it was quite harmonious and harmonious, without any chaos. It was really not much different from Anman Village in Huaibei.
It's just that the people who come and go are all practitioners.
Walking here, those with the lowest cultivation level are all those who have achieved the Tao Seal.
And there are not too many people with golden elixirs.
However, in terms of status, the walking Jindan Zhenren is more noble than the practitioners of Daoyin level.
After all, there is a difference in cultivation and strength, and a strong force can make a judgment between the superior and the inferior.
People with golden elixirs are already regarded as immortals, while Daoyin levels are still among mortals.
"Everyone comes and goes, they are all cultivators."
"Things bought and sold are all treasures of heaven and earth."
"Everything is more extraordinary than the things I collected during the Dongsheng Dynasty and those collected by Fu Lao."
Zhuang Ming glanced around and saw a lot of things in his eyes.
They may be talismans, elixirs, or various types of magical instruments of different shapes, such as magic swords, magic robes, magic mirrors and other items, which may be used for offense or defense, or may help practice.
There are also many medicinal materials, such as thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum, snow lotus from icebergs, unmeltable hematite in magma, and the corpses of strange animals.
For example, the one next to it is the fur of a bear spirit.
However, none of the things placed on the side are truly precious treasures.
And most of these people only cultivate in Daoyin.
The truly precious things lie ahead.
There is a street with shops on both sides.
——
Less than half an hour later.
Zhuang Ming slowly exhaled.
He roughly understood the market of the Great Chu Dynasty.
The value of magic weapons, elixirs, talismans, seals, and other rare items is not measured by silver coins, but by a common elixir called Ling Gathering Pill.
Ju Ling Dan can gather spiritual energy, and taking it can help with spiritual practice.
"Spirit Gathering Pill, does it replace Yin Liang?"
In Zhuang Ming's mind, it was not that surprising. After all, it was the so-called spiritual world, which was not connected with the mundane world.
"Sure enough, if silver can buy these treasures, then there will be countless cultivators who set foot in the mortal world. There must be cultivators who rob money in the mortal world, or some people will steal money in the mortal world.
Just like me, supporting a trading company to make money."
"Since silver is of no use to practitioners, there are not many practitioners who can set foot in the mortal world."
"Is this also the consideration of the Chu Dynasty?"
"However, my business is not just about making money."
Zhuang Ming used to make money in order to have enough financial resources to buy all kinds of extraordinary things in the world, or to raise dragons, or for other purposes.
But now that the dragon has become a dragon, the "treasures" collected in the mortal world, such as the so-called thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum, etc., have little medicinal power and use.
But that doesn’t mean that the business is useless.
He still makes money in order to expand his business. Only when the business becomes more powerful and spreads all over the world, will there be more opportunities.
Even though the opportunity of Tianyu Blessed Land, such as the hematite veins and other useful things for practitioners, were controlled by the Chu Dynasty and listed as prohibited items, but other... such as the strange iron obtained by Fu Lao, the red iron obtained by Fu Lao, etc.
Crystals, even the dragon's eye stone he obtained, were only obtained by him in the mortal world.
"Now that we have found a market, we should also find an opportunity to take root in the market where the practitioners are."
"To make money in the mortal world, you must also earn spiritual elixirs in the world of spiritual practice."
Zhuang Ming's expression slightly condensed and he said secretly: "In the huge Zhuang's business today, I am the only one who can be considered a cultivator. In other words... only Jiaolong can be considered as someone who is above the realm of the mundane world."
King Jing and Feng Lun attach great importance to him, but Zhuang's Trading Company is not afraid at all, because Zhuang's Trading Company is only an ordinary trading firm."
But Zhuang Ming's ambitions don't stop there. His business must continue to grow and spread all over the Dongyuan Realm and even the Great Chu Dynasty... He must also find a way to help Lu He and the others as soon as possible, beyond the boundaries of the human body, in order to truly gain a foothold in the world.
In the world of spiritual practice.
——
This is a weapon refining pavilion.
What is for sale is clearly a magic weapon.
Just now I vaguely heard that this Weapon Refining Pavilion belongs to the Guiyuan Sect.
"This young master..."
What came to us was an old man, about the level of cultivation of the first Daoyin Formation.
Zhuang Ming glanced at it and guessed in his heart that this person was probably an outer disciple of the Guiyuan Sect. He had difficulty cultivating and was ordered to go outside the mountain gate to collect things for the sect and earn merits.
"Master, do you want any magic weapon?"
"Change some spirit-gathering pills."
"Oh?" The old man looked surprised.
"How much can you give me this white jade ruler?" Zhuang Ming casually threw out a white jade ruler, which he got from Nie Ping.
"This..." The old man took it, looked at it, his pupils suddenly shrank, and said: "Magic weapon?"
"Exactly." Zhuang Ming nodded.
"The magic weapon is no different from ordinary magic weapons." The old man was quite surprised at how generous this young man was.
"How much is the bid?" Zhuang Ming asked.
"The materials, runes, and refining techniques are among the best. Presumably, even a real person with an upper level of golden elixir can bear its magic power. It is considered a first-class treasure." The old man thought for a moment and said immediately.
: "Eight thousand spirit-gathering pills."
"Twelve thousand." Zhuang Ming glanced at the magic weapon next to him and took it back with a calm expression.
"You..." the old man's expression changed and he said, "This magic weapon is not worth the price."
"Then change to another one." Zhuang Ming stretched out his hand and took back the white jade ruler.
"Ten thousand." The old man whispered.
"In case."
"Too high." The old man shook his head slightly.
"That's all." Zhuang Ming collected the magic weapon, turned around and left.
"Okay, just in case." The old man said immediately, but said helplessly: "We are all cultivators, how come we are just like selling chicken, duck, fish and meat in the mundane world, where you come and go?"
"That's how I started my career." Zhuang Ming waved his sleeves and said in an understatement.
"You can't tell by looking at your face." The old man exhaled and said, "Actually, it doesn't do much good to have your white jade ruler. I just want to make you my friend..."
"good……"
Zhuang Ming laughed.
The old man gave a salute and put his palms in his sleeves.
And his palms were already covered with sweat.
This young man seems to have a dull aura, and he doesn't even look like a practitioner.
But the robe he wore was extraordinary.
Although there was no mark of the Guiyuan Sect, he had seen such a robe.
This is the handiwork of the Supreme Elder of the Guiyuan Sect. It is woven with Tianyun silk and was personally refined and engraved with runes by the Supreme Elder of the Zhenxuan level.
The last time he saw a similar robe, he was still working as a handyman disciple in the sect. He was the head disciple of the Guiyuan Sect. He had made great achievements and was given a robe by the sect leader.
