Qian Yunsheng and the old captain arrived at Yahang and were quickly let into a simple and elegant room.
This is also Yaxing's method. As a fisherman on the sea, no matter how far-sighted and cunning the old captain is, when he encounters such a place that pays special attention to taste, he can still be psychologically inferior.
Just like the overall layout of this quiet room, the same table, chair, tea, and stool seem to be the same layout that ordinary people can see.
But these simple things put together and placed here can vaguely give you a different sense of nobility.
Therefore, these arrangements are extremely clever psychological hints by businessmen. As soon as you enter a place like this, you will feel a lack of confidence, and you will be careful when you speak unconsciously, which will naturally make it easier for the managers to lower the price.
For an immortal master like Qian Yunsheng, such an arrangement is somewhat flattering.
You must know that although the immortal master and these captains have a strange coexistence relationship in the East China Sea, it does not mean that there is no difference between them. It's just that the situation in the East China Sea is special, and humans need to huddle together for warmth.
But when it comes to places where class needs to be reflected, these subtle differences still divide people.
Just like the brothels in the city and the docks outside the city, as long as you raise the price slightly, you can sort people into three, six, nine, etc. without you realizing it.
This seems to be one of the ancient bad habits of mankind. Wherever there are people, there must be a distinction.
It's just that in the barbaric society of the past, this distinction was particularly rough and had a hint of coercion.
But now, on the surface, there is no difference between everyone, and they seem to be much more elegant. It's just that this kind of elegance is more hidden and discriminatory, and it also makes people unconsciously fall into traps and discomfort.
Just like now, Rao is an old captain who has seen a lot of the market. But in a place like this, Qian Yunsheng could take his time and calmly hold the tea and drink it slowly; while the old captain was like a monkey burning his buttocks, feeling uncomfortable no matter how he sat.
It seems that for him, he would rather lie on the side of the boat and smoke his dry cigarette than sit in this small quiet room and drink a cup of tea that seems to be enough to buy him a year's cigarette money.
Humans are such strange animals sometimes. The more noble they are, the more comfortable they feel.
On the contrary, the more noble things always have a sense of "pretending", which makes people feel that those "nobles" are not born to enjoy at all, but to be punished.
After sitting for a long time, a steward walked in with a smile. As soon as he entered the door, he began to apologize hurriedly. His words were like a spring breeze, making it difficult for the two people who had been sitting there for a long time to lose their temper again.
Qian Yunsheng smiled secretly in his heart, this was actually Yaxingli's method. It's like treating a prisoner who has just entered prison and giving him a hundred killing blows first.
Only by making you wait a little longer can it show that their dental shop's business is extremely good and they don't care if you have more customers or less customers.
Therefore, Qian Yunsheng didn't have a good look at this kind of manager who talked about people and ghosts. After handing over the matter in a business-like manner, he seemed to casually ask the question he was most concerned about:
"Excuse me, do you have things like the Ghost-faced Mushroom, Black Sword Mantis or Black Mountain Scorpion here?"
This is the focus of his visit today. These things are all related to clues to the Nine Netherlands, and the most likely answer is in Yaxing.
Unfortunately, he was soon disappointed. I don’t know if what he was looking for was too biased or too unpopular. The manager of the tooth shop brought over a thick account book and checked it for a long time before shaking his head and saying:
"Master Qianxian, we really don't have the things you want. Why don't you go to the market and look for them?"
Although Qian Yunsheng didn't show it on his face, his hand firmly holding the armrest betrayed his heart.
He actually knew in his heart that with the well-informed knowledge of Yaxing, if these things were still not found, it would be even more difficult to receive them in the market.
After all, on the surface, this Yaxing is a place of guarantee, but behind it is actually the will of the city lord's palace. You must know that in this world, it is most difficult to make guarantees while doing things, and you must have a strong force behind the guarantee.
In a business like Linhai City, Qian Yunsheng and the old captain can conduct transactions with relative peace of mind as long as both parties make a clear agreement. Yahang can even help check whether there is any obvious deception or oppression. From this, you can see the strength of Yahang.
Basically, everyone can still allow both parties to hand over the collateral with confidence and sign a contract information under their supervision. This is also an effective way to balance the immortal masters and mortals here in Linhai City.
Some mortals need the help of immortal masters, and the immortal masters also need the spiritual stones of mortals. As a result, Yaxing developed into a place that played a transcendent position between both parties.
But in fact, with the development today, the dental shop is no longer just a place for mid-term and insurance.
It has developed into the most active, information-rich and intelligence-dense place in the entire city. Many of the things Qian Yunsheng needed before were all clues found in Yaxing.
Therefore, it can also be seen that a tooth row occupies a very special position in the operation of a city. If Yaxing stops one day, I'm afraid half of Linhai City will be paralyzed.
Qian Yunsheng took a few deep breaths before finally calming down his heart that was about to go berserk. He calmed down, his expression turned pale as if someone owed him a large sum of money, and he said helplessly:
"In that case, please help me post the purchase information for these items. If there is any information on any of these items, I will pay him two... no, three spiritual stones. "
"If I can get it in kind, I can buy it at twice the market price." Qian Yunsheng finally added.
The steward nodded and wrote it down for him so that he could express it later.
Qian Yunsheng also seemed to have lost interest and lamented in his heart. He also knew that this was just a hope in case it existed, and it seemed that he had to find another way.
In fact, as long as he can find one of the things he is looking for, he can use them to deduce the location of the Nine Netherlands, and this is also an excellent way to hide his purpose.
Because although these things are a little out of the ordinary, there are still people who need them.
Therefore, it would not be too out of the blue for him to purchase these things. Especially some alchemists who make strange elixirs and monks who like to keep strange beasts in captivity will also use such things. Qian Yunsheng is not afraid that he will be exposed if he purchases these things. His own heel.
But what’s deplorable is that there isn’t even one!
Qian Yunsheng patted his head and cheered secretly: "Although there is no news for the time being, we still can't give up..."
After walking out of Yaxing, he and the old captain were temporarily separated. The old captain had to rush back to help him sell the corpses of monsters, so the two made an appointment to meet again, and Qian Yunsheng headed towards Fangshi alone.
Although I didn't find what I wanted in the tooth shop, looking for it in the market is like looking for a needle in a haystack. But Qian Yunsheng had his own plan. He was going to find some books to see if he could find some new clues.
With this attitude, he stopped a charioteer. A carriage made of colorful cooked leather was hung behind the charioteer. The charioteer drove him towards Fangshi.
The market in Linhai City is not big, with a few scattered streets and even a few storefronts with closed doors.
It's no wonder, considering that Linhai City is still in an important position in the East China Sea. But maybe it's because it's too close to the sea and is often attacked by monster tides, so except for industries related to monsters, other industries are not prosperous.
The entire Linhai City is like a wartime city, with all people and things serving the purpose of fighting against monsters.
This situation is good or bad. The good thing is that people here, even mortals, have a sense of fighting. Even in the streets, you can often see fights and bravery. These are not uncommon in Linhai City.
The bad thing is that apart from serving monsters, it is much more difficult for you to find anything else.
Just like Qian Yunsheng now has a newly earned spiritual stone, but when he went to the market, he found that half of the shops did not sell anything. Instead, they were shouting about buying things.
He didn't understand it at first, but then he suddenly figured it out. It turns out that for the merchants here, the profits they buy from here are even more substantial when they are sold in Zhongzhou.
This has also created a strange scene in Linhai City. In other places, people are afraid of not being able to sell things, but here they are afraid of not being able to receive things.
But this made Qian Yunsheng feel that it was difficult to spend money.
But you can't say that you can't afford to go to this place, because there is one thing that is particularly prosperous, and that is the brothel.
Maybe it's because after staying at sea for a long time, people always need to find an outlet. Or maybe the people in Linhai City have perfectly implemented the saying: "Men become bad when they are rich."
Anyway, the brothels here are quite prosperous, there are so many of them, and every brothel is full of welcomes and escorts, so it’s very lively.
So no matter how much money you have, don’t feel like you can’t spend it in Linhai City. This has become a beautiful sight near the sea, and people from other places even come to Laihai City to experience it.
Moreover, the brothels here are different from other places. Other places are closed during the day and open at night. But the brothel here may be to meet the needs of boats coming and going all year round. Except for late night, it is open at all other times.
This also caused a huge loss of girls. I often heard that slave traders sent girls here who had not yet grown up, locked them up in houses, raised them, trained them well, and then sent them to various brothels.
But for Qian Yunsheng, these things are just things he has heard before. Things that Linhai City Lord doesn't care about are really not his turn to take care of.
Thinking about all this, he was heading towards the largest bookstore in the city.
In fact, this can't be considered a bookstore, because there are only more than a hundred books here, and they can only occupy a small corner of the room.
Even at this scale, it is already the largest in the entire Linhai City. It is conceivable how desolate Linhai City's demand for this type is.
For these fishermen or monks who go to sea, what they value more is their own experience rather than books. Because for them, the fishing experience passed down from generation to generation is enough, and there is no need to obtain knowledge from books.
With this time, it would be better to buy two more bottles of good wine and find a few more girls. Qian Yunsheng can actually understand them, just like how he felt when he went to sea this time.
Going to sea is an extremely dangerous thing, and you may not necessarily die in the belly of a fish next time. Therefore, if you have wine today, you will be drunk now, and you will be worried tomorrow. This is clearly engraved in the blood of Linhai people.
Qian Yunsheng walked into this bookstore. In the surrounding rooms, apart from half a wall of books, the other walls were filled with various miscellaneous small things from Zhongzhou.
Most of these things are prepared for monks, such as elixirs for improving cultivation, talismans for fighting, and specially repaired spiritual tools for sale.
In addition, there are also some items prepared for mortals, such as beautiful jewelry, jewelry, etc. It can be said that it is as miscellaneous as a grocery store.
In Linhai City, apart from brothels, the best sellers are talismans and elixirs.
Most of the elixirs from Zhongzhou are made from plants and trees, so they tend to be more peaceful. This is not like the ones here in the East China Sea, where most of the elixirs used are made of the flesh and blood of monsters, and the elixirs made of plants and trees are often more correct and safer.
I heard that in the East China Sea, there are cases every year of people exploding to death after eating elixirs made from the flesh and blood of monsters, or of people becoming possessed.
Therefore, this also means that if there is no other way, or if money is really tight, most people will still prefer to buy some elixirs made of plants and trees.
But conversely, the quality of spiritual tools and spiritual weapons produced here in the East China Sea is often much better than those in Zhongzhou.
Perhaps it is due to the monsters and beasts, but some rare materials can often be encountered here in the East China Sea. As soon as these materials emerge from the East China Sea, they will be digested immediately.
This convenience of being close to the water on a first-come-first-served basis is unmatched by Zhongzhou, so many masters of weapon refining also moved to the East China Sea in order to obtain better materials.
However, these will not cause trouble to Qian Yunsheng for the time being. He is a ghost cultivator and the materials he needs are different from most on the market.
Moreover, what he is most concerned about right now is repairing the Soul-Capturing Banner and healing his wounds. Other things are not within his scope of concern for the time being. Therefore, after he came in, he didn't look anywhere else at all, but walked directly towards the bookshelf.
Originally, the waiter greeted Qian Yunsheng enthusiastically when he walked in, but when he saw that he was only interested in books and found that there was no profit, he simply turned away and went to greet other customers.
Qian Yunsheng didn't care about the attitude of these waiters. He didn't like attentive customers in the first place, so he was happy that they didn't bother him, so he started rummaging calmly by himself.
All the books in this bookshelf are sealed, but fortunately, to make it easier for you to search, there is a note on the side of each book with a detailed introduction and comments.
Qian Yunsheng calmed down and searched and read. He spent half an hour looking through the bookshelf thoroughly, and finally selected three books and took them out.
"A Chenghui Lingshi!"
The shopkeeper at the counter was smiling. For him, having money means making money anyway, and mosquitoes are still meat no matter how small they are. On the contrary, he doesn't have the snobbery of the waiter.
Qian Yunsheng nodded and threw a spiritual stone over. Then he walked out of the shop with three books in his hands and headed towards the next book walk.
