Lin Feixiao personally sent Long Yu to the headquarters of Linglong Chamber of Commerce. The leader of the caravan saw that it was Lin Feixiao who sent him off in person, and Long Yu also held the jade talisman with the character "Lin", so he was naturally very polite.
"Ran Ling, please take care of my brother." Lin Feixiao said to the leader of the caravan.
"One family does not speak the same language. You and I have worked together for many years. Your brother is naturally my brother. He will definitely arrive safely." The leader of the caravan said.
Lin Feixiao introduced to Long Yu: "This is the caravan of the Linglong Chamber of Commerce. This is Zhang Ranling, who is responsible for the transportation and turnover of goods around this area. You have known me for many years, so you can move forward with confidence."
In this way, Long Yu got acquainted with Zhang Ranling and followed the caravan to Baicang City.
Lin Feixiao watched Long Yu for a long time, guiding the caravan to disappear into the sky...
The people in the caravan each rode a triangular gale horse. Zhang Ranling and Long Yu walked side by side, while Baili Xingyu chatted happily with the female monk in the caravan.
"Little brother, although you have the scale-character jade talisman, I'm afraid you are not a monk in this area." Zhang Ranling asked, shaking the folding fan in his hand.
"Well, I am a disciple of the Xuehan Sect. I originally came to Demon Mountain to practice, but something unexpected happened and I ended up here." Long Yu nodded.
Zhang Ranling gave Long Yu not only the feeling of a teacher in a private school, but also sometimes looked like a breeze on his sleeves and a ten thousand-year-old Taoist with the spirit of an immortal.
"Little brother, I see that you have fine bones and great energy. Do you have any plans to join our Linglong Chamber of Commerce in the future?"
"This is my first time to come out to practice. I dare to ask my seniors what the Chamber of Commerce is?" Long Yu really knows very little about the Chamber of Commerce. In the past, he didn't even have enough crystal stones to practice, and he didn't see much of the world under the mountain gate.
"Oh? My little brother is really young. It's his first time coming out, so it's normal not to know about the Chamber of Commerce. It's a long journey, so just listen to me and explain it slowly."
“The Chamber of Commerce, as its name suggests, is usually responsible for two things. One is to act as an intermediary to help two parties trade and extract a certain profit from it; the second is to bring people who buy and sell things together to do relatively large or long-distance business. "
"Senior, please explain in detail." Although Long Yu didn't know much about caravans, no one would believe that there was no difference between the caravans he had seen in Xuecheng and the long caravan led by Zhang Ranling.
"The Chamber of Commerce is like a sect of monks, and like a different kind of aristocratic family. It also has hierarchies. All chambers of commerce go back upwards, but they are actually a system headed by the three major chambers of commerce."
"Three major chambers of commerce?"
"Yes, Linglong Chamber of Commerce, Yaogu, and Sang."
Long Yu couldn't help but ask: "What conditions must be met to be called the leader of the Chamber of Commerce?"
During the narration, Zangyue couldn't help but be curious.
"It has caravans spread across all ethnic groups, has absolute control over a certain commercial field, and is recognized and guaranteed by no less than five royal families."
"Does it mean that the demons are also included?" Long Yu was puzzled.
"Although the demons have brought suffering to other tribes, the demons are indeed included." Zhang Ranling answered naturally. When he first heard that the Chamber of Commerce was everywhere, few people could figure out why the demons were also included.
"What does absolute control mean?"
"For example, the Linglong Chamber of Commerce has absolute control over magical artifacts, ranging from common to rare. The Linglong Chamber of Commerce will even auction treasures that are coveted by the royal family at some large auctions."
"What about the other two?"
"This Medicine Valley controls elixirs, talismans, and precious elixirs and herbs. And what's different from the other two is that no one knows where the headquarters of Medicine Valley is."
"Then how does Yaogu engage in chamber of commerce affairs like other chambers of commerce?"
"The elixirs in Yao Valley are usually sold in elixir rooms scattered all over the world, while Fu Zhuan is generally sold directly to sects, aristocratic families, and wealthy families on a large scale." Zhang Ranling paused again, "As for this elixir, Grass is different..."
"It is rumored that the spiritual power of the Medicine Valley is much richer than that of the outside world. There are infinite spiritual fields in the Medicine Valley, so that the most precious elixirs and herbs in the world are all produced in the Medicine Valley. However, the Medicine Valley generally does not sell elixirs. We will only auction some extremely valuable rare elixirs and herbs." Zhang Ranling's left hand turned upward, and a pure green teapot appeared in his hand.
Long Yu couldn't help but feel curious: "Is this a teapot?"
"This is not an ordinary teapot. It is a Yunpan teapot that was auctioned together with the elixir and elixir at an auction in the Medicine Valley. The elixir is water and the medicinal herbs are the basis. When combined in the pot, it can enhance the medicinal properties; if it is of good quality, it is not an ordinary teapot. The spirit tea in it has an excellent taste. As we meet today, I invite Brother Long to taste this unique tea fragrance."
Without waiting for Long Yu to shirk, Zhang Ranling had two teacups hanging in the air in front of him. He raised the folding fan and put it away. Then the Luoxiang tea came out, and the blue-purple tea fell into the cup. The fragrance of the tea was long and refreshing.
"Brother Long, I never like drinking. Only tea is here. Don't dislike it, please." Zhang Ranling shook his finger slightly, and the tea was already in front of Long Yu.
"Thank you, senior." Long Yu took the tea cup and Zhang Ranling continued.
"The Medicine Valley will send some people to hold alchemy competitions in major cities. The finished elixirs will be returned to the Medicine Valley, but the Medicine Valley will return double the raw materials, or use elixirs and herbs as rewards. In these aspects, the world also I have always respected the medicine valley."
Long Yu's tea tastes extremely bitter in the mouth, and the bitterness and tongue are like swords striking each other in the mouth.
But in less than a breath, it completely turned into a sweet and sour taste, which made Long Yu secretly sigh. After such a cup of tea, Long Yu's mind couldn't help but change from nervousness to relaxation and calmness.
"Senior, why do people in the world and all ethnic groups only respect Yaogu's certification?"
"Medicine Valley is one of the three major chambers of commerce. It has existed for endless years. It is supported by the royal family and connected to sects all over the world. Pharmacies, alchemy rooms and talismans are almost everywhere in major cities."
Zhang Ranling continued: "In terms of evaluation, Yaogu has always adhered to an absolutely objective and fair attitude. Every evaluation process is disclosed and recorded. The scene at the time is often recorded with a shadow stone, which can be verified at any time."
"The manpower and material resources required are definitely not comparable to those of ordinary chambers of commerce." Long Yu couldn't help but take another sip of tea. The sudden change made Long Yu silently touched: Since the taste can change in an instant, those two Is it possible to use different Taoism...
Zhang Ranling obviously didn't notice that Long Yu was slightly lost in thought, and continued: "It is indeed the case, whether it is an alchemist, a talisman seal master, a spiritual planter, or a pill, seal script, or spiritual plant level evaluation, it is the same. The people of the valley don't like to attack, but they are obsessed with the extreme pursuit of these three major professions. Every evaluator made an oath of absolute fairness when they came to the position, so all races naturally respect the Yao Valley."
After the tea was finished, Long Yu said: "But the Medicine Valley is so huge, how can we ensure that it will not be forged by people with ulterior motives?"
"But don't underestimate the monks of Yao Valley. They don't like to attack, but they are not bad at attacking. It is said that there was a group of fake Yao Valley countless years ago, and there were even extremely high-level monks behind it. After Yao Valley's verification, Quickly take action, use thunderous means to kill these traders, and kill them together with the strong men behind them. Yao Gu even kills his sect and family, and bloodbaths all the monks related to them."
"this......"
Zhang Ranling rarely looked serious: "What makes the world even more amazed is that Yaogu even took action against the core figures of a royal family. This royal family originally deployed troops and generals, but a few days later, they immediately apologized to Yaogu and sent several people to Yaogu. Erase it from the family tree. From now on, no one will dare to pretend to be Yao Gu."
"So, isn't this just a rumor?"
"Monks all over the world were shocked and suspicious of this rumor until the Linglong Chamber of Commerce and another chamber of commerce announced that it was true. And this chamber of commerce is Sang."
"Only one word?"
"Yes. Sang is also one of the three major chambers of commerce, but Sang buys and sells techniques and formations. Sang has reached the extreme in these two aspects."
"Dharma? This..." Long Yu naturally thought of the Yin-Yang Divine Code when he heard this, but found that he had almost no understanding of the method.
"It's normal for Brother Long to be unfamiliar with this. After all, most of the methods are something that you only come into contact with in large quantities when you reach the Golden Core. Methods can also be called exercises, methods, codes, etc."
Zhang Ranling continued: "What makes Golden Pill different from Qi training and foundation building is the condensation of spiritual power, so as to better communicate with the spiritual power of heaven and earth. You can start to learn some exercises that are helpful in combat. For example, the disciples of the Lingyin Sect are most commonly used The immobility technique can slow down the opponent's movements, and the same goes for your Xuehan Sect's Snow Spirit Art, but it's just of a low level."
Long Yu was extremely curious about this. He had insufficient abilities in the past, so naturally he didn't understand these things: "So, does the method also have grades?"
"Yes. It's not difficult to remember. Just like the Taoist robes of your President Xue during the foundation building period, from the third level of foundation building to the ninth level of foundation building, they correspond to red, orange, yellow, green, blue, blue and purple." Zhang Ranling pointed to Long Yu's Taoist robe.
"In fact, not only the Snow Sect, but also other sects and aristocratic families like to divide the foundation building period in this way. In the final analysis, each color corresponds to each level, and in the sect, each color corresponds to a level. , for example, red corresponds to the red level method.”
Long Yu nodded and stared ahead. The uneasiness in his heart became more and more serious, but he had no clue as to the source of the uneasiness...
Seeing that Zhang Ranling still looked leisurely, Long Yu slowly picked up the teacup with both hands and took a sip, looking ahead from the corner of his eye from time to time.
Although Zhang Ranling never noticed the change in Long Yu's eyes, he also took a sip: "The method does not require a specific realm to match like the magic weapon, and most methods can be practiced as long as they reach the golden elixir stage. Good methods can It helps the monks fight against the enemy with a very effective effect."
"There are countless Dharma Schools in the world. If Sang is the giant of the Dharma Sect, how strong is his control over the Dharma Sect?" When he saw the valley in front of him, Long Yu couldn't help but become more uneasy.
"It's all-encompassing, everything you need. It can be said that what Sang has, other sects and families may not have; what Sang doesn't have, most other forces don't have it. Except for some secret methods that are never spread by the royal family or top families, Sang has all the other methods." In terms of formations, Sang is recognized as the best in the world, and there is absolutely no one who can compare with him."
"Can it be called the best in the world? Can the royal family not compare?" Long Yu asked casually. The closer he got to the valley, the more Long Yu felt that something was about to happen.
"Exactly, the royal family has secret techniques that are not spread to outsiders, and this Sang naturally also has them. Compared with one-to-one, the number is naturally much higher."
"Then..." Before Long Yu could finish his words, Zhang Ranling continued:
"Sang does not participate in any wars, but he sells various formations. There are many categories of formations, divided into ranks from one to nine stars. The higher the number of stars, the greater the power, and it also requires a lot of strength from the user. high."
"Since the three major chambers of commerce are so powerful, why are there other merchants? Or are all the vendors from the three major chambers of commerce?"
"Of course not. The three major chambers of commerce united to form an organization, called Shang, or the Merchant Alliance. The Shang will set up its headquarters in the center of this world.
The Chamber of Commerce sends out caravans to continuously deliver goods to various regions. How vast is this world?
When the caravan traveled to various places, it set up a post station every time it encountered a city. The first caravans from endless years ago spread the flag of Shang throughout the Hanyue Continent. Isn’t it a kind of conquest...
In Zhang Ranling's narration, Long Yu seemed to have glimpsed a prosperous period in an instant.
"So, the three major chambers of commerce are not competing?"
"Yes, after all, they mainly sell in different fields, so there is no conflict. What's more, the tripartite alliance has existed for a long time and is harmonious."
Baili Xingyu was already behind the two of them. Hearing this, he wanted to say something, but stopped himself.
