With a flash of white light, Zhao Hai appeared in a teleportation array. Then he looked around and found a small town by the sea. The town was not very big, but compared to the Tide Watching City, it was quite lively. Some monks can be seen everywhere. These monks are like ordinary people. Some are shopping, some are selling, and some are watching the excitement. The whole town seems very lively.
Zhao Hai looked at the teleportation square and found that in addition to the monks setting up street stalls, there were also many shops. Some of these shops specialized in selling elixirs, some specialized in selling magic weapons, and some actually There are shops selling exercises, various materials, and even pubs and restaurants. This really surprised Zhao Hai.
Zhao Hai left the teleportation array and walked forward slowly. He knew that this small town was actually a city, a city under the name of Dahuang Island, and Hu Yuan was at the Lingzhi Store under the door of Dahuang Island. He works there, and his main job is to take care of the unsold spiritual plants in the plant.
This is exactly the same as Hu Yuan's major, but because of Xia Yu's care, Hu Yuan doesn't actually have much work, and his work in the store is still very free.
Of course, Hu Yuan also received some looks at him at the beginning. Those in Lingzhi's store thought that Hu Yuan was just a related person who was just a collector of crystals but did not do anything. Naturally, they would not give him a good look, although they would not say that he was right. Even though he made sarcastic remarks, no one liked Hu Yuan.
But then Hu Yuan showed some of his skills as a planter, which was amazing. You must know that the most important thing in the spiritual plant shop is not those people, and his spiritual plants, these spiritual plants are of great use. Some can be used to refine elixirs, some can be used to refine magic weapons, and some can even be directly absorbed by people to replace a certain thing in the human body, making people stronger, and can even be used to replace Some of the blood vessels in the human body are injured. People's injuries heal faster, and there are no sequelae.
It is these spiritual plants that have such magical functions, so these spiritual plants are very popular. If something goes wrong with one of the spiritual plants. The people in the store will be punished.
In the third month after Hu Yuan joined the Ling Zhi Store, something suddenly went wrong with one of the Ling Zhi plants in the store. This frightened the people in the store. Fortunately, Hu Yuan took action in time and was with the Ling Zhi. After communication. Knowing what was wrong with Lingzhi, he used the natural energy in his body to cure Lingzhi and save the store from losses.
After this incident, the people in the store became enthusiastic towards Hu Yuan, and Hu Yuan's status in the store suddenly became higher and he became more free.
After so many years, Hu Yuan has been in that store. Although he is not the store manager now, his status in the store is very detached. It is precisely because of this that he can retreat whenever he wants.
However, Zhao Hai did not go directly to the Lingzhi store, but went to a small alley behind the Lingzhi store. There were some small courtyards in the alley, and monks from the city lived there. These monks He usually works in the city to earn some spiritual stones to support himself, but Ding Chunming lives in this alley.
Zhao Hai entered the alley, glanced at the doors in the alley, and finally found himself in front of a door. After seeing a mark that was not very obvious, Zhao Hai walked over and then patted the door gently.
The door opened quickly and came out. It was Ding Chunming. As soon as Ding Chunming saw Zhao Hai, he immediately said with excitement: "Master, you are finally here, come in quickly."
Zhao Hai responded and followed Ding Chunming into the room. As soon as he entered the room, Zhao Hai discovered that this should be where Ding Chunming rested. The room was not very big, with only two entrances. The inside was used for sleeping, with only enough room for a bed, a cabinet, and a small table. Just like there's nothing else. But there is an Eight Immortals table and a few benches outside. There is not a small stove inside, it is very simple.
Zhao Hai turned to look at Ding Chunming, smiled slightly and said: "Chunming, thank you for your hard work. This place is so shabby and you have persisted here for so long. I really feel sorry for you."
Ding Chunming smiled and said: "Master, what does this mean? When I went out for the trial, I slept in the wild for several months. I was fine at that time, let alone here now, which is already very good. Master, please sit down quickly."
Zhao Hai nodded, sat down on the bench, and then said: "When did grandpa come out of seclusion? Has he really reached the state of refining qi and returning to the spirit?"
Ding Chunming nodded and said: "Yes, grandpa just came out of seclusion this morning. He has reached the realm of refining qi and returning the spirit, so he wants to meet the young master and see what your plans are, young master."
Zhao Hai nodded, then took a long breath and said: "Grandpa and I haven't seen each other for many years. Is he okay now?"
Ding Chunming smiled and said: "Okay, very good, young master, don't worry, but grandpa is currently in their store, dealing with some things, and it is not convenient to meet with young master. Young master, just wait here until grandpa finishes handling the store." Regarding the matter, I will come to see you soon."
Zhao Hai nodded, then looked at Ding Chunming and said, "Chunming, how did you do what you were told before?"
Ding Chunming said in a deep voice: "Young Master, I have already inquired about it. For large-scale grain transactions, the most suitable place is actually an auction. Only at the auction can a large amount of grain be sold without anyone knowing the source of the task. , because the auction is only for selling things, they will not ask the identity of the auctioneer or the origin of the things. However, there are no auctions in ordinary small places. They are only found in some big cities. The most recent auction here is ours. , right there in Jianyi City."
Zhao Hai nodded and said in a deep voice: "Jianyi City is the closest to us, but it is also the place most likely to be targeted by people from Lingxi Island. If you can't do it there, you have to find a place far away from Jianyi City. Just a little space will do.”
Ding Chunming said solemnly: "There is no problem. As long as you sit in the teleportation array, young master, you can reach the Sword Spirit Realm. Any big city, whether it is the territory of the Buddhist sect or the Taoist sect, or the Demonic sect." .”
Zhao Hai nodded and said in a deep voice: "It seems that this is the only way to go. I think we can ask grandpa to help us collect some information, and then we can decide where to go to start the grain trade."
Ding Chunming nodded, and then said in a deep voice: "Actually, young master, you don't have to be like this. Except for the Seventy-two Islands in the South China Sea, other places don't care very much about things like spiritual rice, because they all There is no shortage of spiritual rice, only here in the Seventy-Two Islands of the South China Sea, because they are all on the islands. That’s why there is a shortage of spiritual rice. In other places, spiritual rice is not very valuable.”
Zhao Hai nodded and said, "Is there no one selling it?"
Ding Chunming shook his head and said: "I don't know about this, but it's rare to hear that there is an auction house where a large amount of spiritual rice is traded."
Zhao Hai frowned. This is not what he wants to see. Those big auction houses do not trade spiritual rice. If he suddenly appears to trade spiritual rice, it will definitely attract the attention of interested people. After all, if spiritual rice was not important before, then there is Maybe, but now, the situation in the Sword Spirit World is unstable, and no one dares to underestimate the spiritual rice trade.
The reason why I have such an idea. It was because Zhao Hai knew very well that the current situation in the mainland was unstable, and all sects were preparing war supplies. Although spiritual rice was not the most popular, if it was released, someone would definitely want it.
But the problem now is that if such a large amount of spiritual rice is released, it will definitely attract the attention of interested people. In places like the Sword Spirit World, if those major sects really want to investigate you. That is still very simple, and this is also the most difficult part for Zhao Hai.
However, Zhao Hai decided that after the spiritual rice matured, he would still go to those big cities to conduct some spiritual rice transactions. Otherwise, their gang has never had a stable source of income, which is indeed a problem.
But before that, Zhao Hai also needs to deal with their spiritual rice fields. Now that they have opened so many spiritual fields, if the people of Ling Crab Island know about all their spiritual rice. Don't even think about selling it. Ling Crab Island will definitely take away all the spiritual rice. Although they won't be treated badly, they may have to grow spiritual rice in the future, and at that time, Ling Crab Island More attention will definitely be focused on them, which will be very detrimental to their future development.
Zhao Hai made such a decision just to get rid of this situation. Although there are still some risks in doing so, this risk is something they must bear. In any case, the ** Gang must maintain its independence. It must be under his control, otherwise his subsequent plans will not be able to proceed.
Although Zhao Hai and Hu Yuan had not seen each other for a long time, he was not too anxious. He could see Hu Yuan anyway. What else should he be anxious about? He sat in the room and chatted with Ding Chunming calmly. Waiting for Hu Yuan.
Waiting until the afternoon, Ding Chunming suddenly stood up and said to Zhao Hai: "Master, grandpa has come out, I will take you to see him." Zhao Hai nodded and followed Ding Chunming out, and soon the two of them Arriving at the door of a tavern in the city, I entered the tavern directly.
This tavern looks small, but the space inside is not small, and it is actually a restaurant. After Zhao Hai and the others entered the room, they were immediately greeted by a waiter. The waiter saluted Zhao Hai and Ding Chunming. , said in a deep voice: "You two want to have a meal? Do you want a private room or use it in the hall?"
Zhao Hai waved his hand and said: "We are looking for someone, you go down." After saying that, he followed Ding Chunming and walked upstairs. The waiter did not follow him, but stepped aside. There are only a few restaurant owners who have no eyesight. Yes, they knew as soon as they saw Zhao Hai that they wanted to meet someone, but they didn't want them to know, so they naturally wouldn't follow him to get in the way.
Zhao Hai and Ding Chunming arrived upstairs. There were private rooms upstairs, but there was no one in the corridor. Zhao Hai and Ding Chunming walked forward, and soon they stopped in front of a room door. Then Ding Chunming opened the door and walked in.
After Zhao Hai and Ding Chunming entered the room, they immediately saw Hu Yuan sitting in the room. Hu Yuan was almost the same as in his memory. His face was rosy, his hair seemed to be a lot darker, and he looked more energetic. .
Hu Yuan also saw Zhao Hai. Zhao Hai quickly waved his hand and closed the door. Then he waved his hand and a layer of protective shield covered the room. Zhao Hai then said to Hu Yuan: "Grandpa, Finally I see you." After saying that, Zhao Hai walked over and hugged Hu Yuan.
Hu Yuan also laughed loudly, patted Zhao Hai's back hard, and said in a deep voice: "Good boy, I finally see you here. Okay, great, come on, sit down." Zhao Hai responded and sat down with Hu Yuan.
Hu Yuan glanced at Zhao Hai, nodded and said, "Not bad, have all the matters in the lower realm been dealt with?"
Zhao Hai nodded and said: "Yes, everything has been dealt with. Grandpa, don't worry. Grandpa, are you okay? How did you gain from this retreat? Did the people on the desert island make things difficult for you?"
Hu Yuan smiled and said: "How could it be? Mr. Xia still takes great care of me. How can he embarrass me? You don't have to worry about me. Tell me about the situation there. You have been ascending for a few months. Where are you?" How is the situation?"
Zhao Hai smiled slightly and said: "Grandpa, don't worry, the situation there is very good. Now Guanchao City has been controlled by us. All the casual cultivators in Guanchao City have become members of our gang." , I plan to build Chao Guan City as one of our bases. When our strength is not enough, we will first use Guan Chao City as the center and slowly develop. Anyway, there is no spiritual vein there. As long as we hand over the Leave all the things to Ling Crab Island, and the people on Ling Crab Island will not go to Chao Guan City to check. This is also good for us. We can be protected by Ling Crab Island. Isn’t this good?”
"Hahaha, you still have a way. In just a few months after arriving in the Sword Spirit World, you can create such a big scene. Yes, very good, but you are much better than an old man like me. Where are you? Do it well, if it doesn't work, just go directly to the desert island territory, I think Mr. Xia will still take care of us no matter what."
"Grandpa, don't worry, I know how to do it. The main reason I came here this time is to see you, grandpa. I also want you to help me. Grandpa, can you ask around in this city to see if the auction house there is safer?" Some will keep the customer's information completely confidential. We are growing a lot of spiritual rice there now, but I don't want to give all the spiritual rice to Lingxi Island. I plan to sell some of it myself, but if I sell a large amount of it at once, Spiritual rice will attract people's attention, so I want to take these spiritual rice to the auction house for auction, grandpa, what do you think?"
"Well, that's it. In fact, this matter is very simple. As long as you go to those big cities and walk around outside the auction house, it won't take long for someone to contact you. Those people are professionals. Brokers, they can do a lot of things for you. If you have something that you don’t want people to know about, and you don’t want people to find out about you, you can give these things to the brokers and let them get them. Sell it to the auction house, they will only charge a part of the commission, but they will never reveal your identity." (To be continued.)
