The two talked for half an hour before Pan Chengnian drifted away.
It came and went in a hurry, and it seemed that something important was going on. Wei Shiqi vaguely guessed something about the inside story. Going to Biwu Island to exterminate the demon phoenix is related to the safety of this world. Refining the thunder and fire calamity cloud is the top priority. Pan Chengnian can't even leave an incarnation outside his body. Chu Tianyou returns to Liantao Mountain. Only then could he leave for a moment, see him, and say a few words.
Fortunately, Pan Chengnian's words revealed the tip of the iceberg. He had a comprehensive plan for the increasingly collapsing situation and was not leaving it to fate. Xiantian Cauldron, Dinghai Pearl, Mountain and River Vitality Lock, Lingtai Square Cun Lamp, Flying Sky Shuttle, collect five Kunlun treasures, make a decision and act, if you still can't subdue the demon phoenix, just buy a piece of tofu and hit it to death!
Wei Shiqi is self-aware, charges into battle, criticizes and criticizes the weak, he may be a good player, but planning and planning is not his strength, at best he can only be an afterthought.
Pan Chengnian and Chu Tianyou are the experts.
Wei Shiqi thought about his thoughts under the dead tree until the east turned white.
After Bian Ci washed up, he accompanied Wei Shiqi down the mountain and walked around Liantao City. Bian Ya was a little tail that couldn't be shaken off and never left.
I didn’t realize it when I walked around the city, but when I really stepped into it, I suddenly realized that Liantao City was no less prosperous than the capital city. There were many shops, people flowed in, and everything was available for food, clothing, housing, and transportation. It was full of vitality and vitality.
Wei Shiqi seemed to have returned to the past. The warm and unfamiliar southern city was equally crowded, equally prosperous, and equally full of vitality.
After half a day of free time, his mood gradually improved. He wandered around, looked around, and tasted various snacks. Bian Ci became his little follower, following behind him and busy paying for him. , not bothering to interrupt to explain.
Bian Ya held Wei Shiqi's fingers tightly, eating and smiling. Bian Ci felt sincerely relieved to see her so happy.
Liantao City is divided into an inner city and an outer city. The inner city is surrounded by a long bluestone street, which is twisted and twisted in an irregular octagonal shape. Generally speaking, the immortal family is in the inner city, and the mortals are in the inner city. Living outside the city. However, the inner city and the outer city are not clearly separated. Chu Tianyou deliberately created a fair trading situation. From the beginning of the city's founding, he ordered Shanze Palace to send more people to strictly supervise and prohibit the Xian family from bullying mortals, and even killed a few criminals. The small sect established its authority. His measures have achieved results. In Liantao City, immortals and mortals live together and do not invade each other. No one dares to start a fight under the eyes of Taiyi Zong.
Chu Tianyou’s knowledge and skills are evident.
Wei Shiqi walked around the outer city, crossed the long bluestone street, and entered the inner city.
Compared with the sultry outer city, the inner city is much deserted. Looking along the way, there are only inns, restaurants, shops, warehouses, and street stalls, which are far less lively than the outer city.
Being freed from the noise, Bian Ci breathed a sigh of relief. She had a quiet temperament. Being among the crowds of people in the outer city, shoulder to shoulder, she felt uncomfortable all over. If Master Chu hadn't ordered her to accompany her, she would rather be in peace and quiet. Stay quietly at Crane Peak.
Entering the inner city, the disciples of Shanze Palace on duty came forward and met Bian Ci. He called him "Senior Sister" and his posture was very low. It was obvious that Bian Ci, as the head disciple, had a high status in Taiyi Sect.
Bian Ci introduced Junior Sister Hu Qingyi from Shanze Hall to Wei Shiqi. Hu Qingyi was a smart and knowledgeable person, and knew that the "Senior Brother Wei" Bian Ci mentioned had a good background and a full face. He was laughing and talking very attentively. Bian Ci knew little, so he was happy to ask Junior Sister Hu to explain it for him.
Unexpectedly, what Wei Shiqi paid most attention to was not the elixir magic weapon Talisman Technique, but the inconspicuous "fish-eye stone".
He was the first foreign monk to ask about the aphoplast in detail. Although Hu Qingyi was surprised, he still tried his best to explain it in detail.
"Apseye stone" is collected from the Liantao Mountains. It is shaped like a goose egg. The largest one is no more than the palm of your hand, and the smallest one is only a few fingers. The stone surface has a naturally formed white texture, with distinct concavities and convexities, and a circle. Two circles and three circles are placed in one corner, looking like fish eyes from a distance, hence the name.
Apophyseal itself is neither a material for smelting magic weapons, nor can it be used as medicine to make elixirs. However, this stone has a unique feature. It is hard in texture and cannot be polished. It is forced to use a sharp knife, that is, from the "fish eye" It is torn apart everywhere and there is no way to save it. Chu Tianyou, the master of the Fenglei Palace, used aphrodisiac as currency. He did not do it randomly because of an idea. Instead, he considered two key factors. Firstly, aphrodisiac is only produced in Liantao Mountain. Secondly, it cannot be faked. .
The number of apophyllites mined each year is limited. The ones with only one ring of texture are the most common, which are called "single eyes". The "double eyes" with two rings of texture are relatively rare. As for the "three eyes" with three rings of texture, one I can’t even make a few bucks a year. Chu Tianyou set the terms of exchange, one piece of "double eyes" is worth ten yuan of "single eye", one piece of "three eyes" is worth ten yuan of "double eyes", but in the market, the price of "double eyes" to "single eye" is often more than ten times. Floating between fifteen and twenty times.
Chu Tianyou vigorously promoted apipsite, which was initially only circulated within the Taiyi Sect. After a few years, other cultivation sects in the Central Plains also recognized apipsite and used it as a popular currency. Bartering gradually decreased, and monks became accustomed to trading aphoplasts, and the demand for apaphoplasts also increased.
Chu Tianyou saw the opportunity and took a two-pronged approach. On the one hand, he vigorously mined apophyllite, and on the other hand, he set up "Four Stores" and "Quality Warehouse" in Liantao City.
Four shops are equivalent to shops, selling elixirs, magic tools, talismans, and exercises. There is a shop in the inner city of Fenglei, Shanze, Tianfeng, Chenyu, Lingxiao, Bullfight, and Yulu. , in addition, some foreign sects also opened four shops through leasing. The various items in the four shops have been appraised by Shanze Palace and clearly marked with genuine prices. They are only allowed to trade in aphrodisiac stones. As for those who are alone. The casual cultivators who went there had little money, so they could only set up a street stall on the spot to attract some business. Buyers who were deceived had no choice but to admit that they were unlucky and had no way to deal with it.
The pledge storehouse is similar to a pawnshop and is hosted by Shanze Hall. "One-eyed", "double-eyed" and "three-eyed" can be exchanged here. Monks who are short of money can also pledge their property and withdraw a sum of money. Apophyllite, redeemable within the agreed time limit, overdue treatment will be dealt with immediately.
Gold and silver can be used in the outer city of Liantao City, and apophyseal can be used in the inner city. Apophyseal can also be used in the outer city, but not vice versa. Gold and silver cannot be exchanged for apophyseal, and can only be "pawned". , there is no fixed rule for the amount of conversion, it is determined by the quality library.
Hu Qingyi has been on duty in the inner city for many years and has very detailed instructions on the aphrodisiac trade. Except that the mining area is the secret of Taiyi Sect, he has passed by and the rest of the regulations have been followed one by one. , without thinking. Wei Shiqi listened with great interest, but Bian Ci was not interested. She had never dealt with Siyan and Zhiku. Whenever she needed anything, she would send a letter to the Seventh Hall and someone would send it to Heji Peak. She never asked for any fish. Eye stone.
The four of them walked and talked, strolling around the inner city. Hu Qingyi smiled brightly and said: "Our Taiyi Sect pays equal attention to the cultivation of weapons and talismans. It is rare for Senior Brother Wei to come here, so why not go to Siyan?" If there is a magic weapon or talisman that catches your eye, it would be a pity to miss it."
This statement hit Wei Shiqi's fancy.
