Ye Xing stopped thinking about things that he couldn't figure out. Listening to everyone's chatting, he felt that he had benefited a lot.
When riding a horse, in order to rush on the road, everyone will let the horse take some qi-replenishing elixir, and sometimes give some real qi to the horse, so that it can keep running at high speed.
Ten monks walked together on the prairie, not afraid of any wild beasts, and certainly not afraid of other groups of casual monks. After all, not many people would fight for unknown amounts of resources, and they were even more afraid of offending someone with real connections. .
After riding fast for twelve days, we finally arrived at Shanglin City. When I arrived at Shanglin City, I realized what a big city is. It is too big, and of course it is too empty. Shanglin City is known as a big city with millions of people, but in fact There are no walls, and the houses are far apart. You need to ride a horse to get to your neighbor's house.
Shanglin City is actually a huge grassland between the mountains. It is the birthplace of the Dayuan Empire. It is also the place where the Dayuan people have lived for generations. The emperor of the Dayuan Empire is here. The masters of the clan practice in the surrounding mountains. It can be said that this is the dragon's pond and the tiger's den.
Of course, it is also certain that this place is absolutely safe. It is impossible for anyone to dare to cause trouble here. No matter what level of master the other party is, it is impossible for them to come to Shanglin City to stir up trouble. If they come to make trouble, they will die. There is absolutely no second possibility.
The ten people traveling together separated when they reached the mountain pass into Shanglin City because it was definitely safe.
Ye Xing's spiritual consciousness was powerful, but he didn't dare to scan the outside world at all, and he didn't dare to show too much cultivation. He was still dressed like a Tang Dynasty businessman, and he rode around alone, but he had no idea where to start, so he had to find someone to ask.
Finally, at the cost of 20 taels of silver a day, Ye Xing found a buyer to lead the way and asked him to take him to Shanglin City to purchase precious things.
Shanglin City is too big, and without the guidance of local people, it is really impossible to find what you like. The merchants are all from one family. It is just a small piece of grassland, surrounded by a simple fence, and there are many short Some buildings are just large curtain bags.
You have to ride a horse to go between merchants. There is no house number, no name, and without the guidance of local people, you can't trade at all, and you can't find the resources you want.
What Ye Xing wants is the best spirit stone, but the spirit stone mines are all in the hands of the royal family of Dayuan and the sect forces of Dayuan. Ordinary spirit stones are still possible, but the best spirit stones are absolutely inaccessible to ordinary people. Most of what the family sells are various items looted by the Yuan army.
As a businessman of the Tang Dynasty, Ye Xing wore all kinds of gold and silver jewelry, and he was extremely generous with his purchases. All he was interested in were extremely high-end things, and soon he was carrying a lot of baggage.
In fact, he doesn't want these things, he just wants to look like a rich man, so that he can enter some relatively high-end places more easily.
The people of the Tang Dynasty and the Tianxing Kingdom look the same, with very little difference. The only difference is that the people of the Tang Dynasty are taller, and their speech and clothing are different. Ye Xing said that he was a nobleman from the Song Dynasty who fled to the Tang Dynasty, and now he came to the Yuan Dynasty. business man.
This kind of identity is very common, which can explain the problem of Ye Xing's inaccurate accent. Ye Xing looks like a nouveau riche, and all his money is gold, and there are also banknotes from Datang, which are all acceptable currencies.
Ye Xing participated in many trade fairs in the courtyards of many manor-style families. He spent a lot of money to buy some unique spiritual medicinal materials, as well as some rare metals, such as some special metals that have been refined. Ye Xing is Those who know their functions, such as the extremely hard and strong materials required to make array disks, and materials that can quickly exhaust a large number of spiritual crystals without being damaged, are extremely precious in themselves.
The Yuan Empire captured people from other countries as slaves and then developed minerals. Most of the ordinary people in the country were herdsmen and merchants, especially merchants. The herders were only people from small tribes. The Dayuan people no longer participated in herding.
The Tianxing Kingdom's outlawing of slavery was the biggest impact on Dayuan. Many slaves escaped, especially in the northeastern prairie near the Tianxing Kingdom. Basically all the slaves ran away.
Now the main army of Dayuan is marching further west to rob more slaves and occupy more land. The last time they were defeated by Tianxing Kingdom, it did not affect their pace of marching westward.
Different from the bargaining and bargaining in Tianxing, everything here is auctioned. Even a sheep is auctioned. The auction method is very simple. The seller sets a minimum price, and the person below bids, and the one with the highest price wins.
Ye Xing naturally doesn't care about money, but he also discovered that many items are extremely expensive. Only banknotes from the Tang Empire are accepted. Banknotes issued by Tianxing Kingdom are not recognized. If you really take them out, they will probably be rejected by others. Killed on the spot.
Ye Xing also met a lot of people, all of whom were wealthy businessmen from the Tang Dynasty and Dayuan Dynasty. In Shanglin City, which is known as a big city hundreds of miles away, you can buy everything as long as you have money. Of course, you need money to make friends.
Of course, it's best if you have connections. There are some secret places that you can't find without acquaintances, let alone enter, especially those manors that sell cultivation items.
This type of manor is run by the forces of the Dayuan Sect. If you don’t have relevant connections, you definitely won’t be able to enter such places. This is common sense. Without relevant people to lead you, you won’t be able to enter such places;
Any temporary outsider will be rejected. Others do not have the time and energy to investigate your identity. The most direct way is to not let you participate.
Ye Xing's spiritual consciousness is very powerful, and he has long discovered that there are many low-level cultivators in Shanglin City. Unlike the famous mountains in the Song Dynasty that were hidden in the past, although the cultivators here do not appear in public, many of them are hidden in the busy city.
The reason is also simple. Not everyone can stay in a deep mountain and old forest for a long time, and practice also requires resources and opportunities, and these resources are still extremely precious. It is best to travel around the world.
Nowadays, resources such as spiritual stones are generally found in the two superpowers of Tang and Yuan Dynasties. Small countries have long since disappeared. The Song Kingdom has not discovered any spiritual minerals. If there were any, they would have been mined long ago.
Ye Xing revealed his cultivation level at the eighth level of Qi Refining, and then asked the buyer to take him everywhere to try his luck. He soon got to know many low-level cultivators from Dayuan and got more information.
Since the Dayuan Empire is constantly on the go and fighting wars, and it accommodates all kinds of people, there are also a large number of non-Dayuan monks in the country, resulting in many schools of cultivation in the Dayuan;
But generally speaking, they are all very small cultivation forces. Of course, the Dayuan Clan will not allow the existence of top cultivation masters who are not their own. For ordinary monks, it doesn't matter how many times more.
It is said that the Royal Family of Dayuan is a super cultivator family with extremely terrifying power. Countless minerals in Dayuan are basically controlled by them, and some less important minerals are distributed to those cultivators. Of course, these families must send out their clans. people, joined the Yuan army and fought everywhere.
The Yuan Empire had been strategically located in the west for thousands of years. Although it was interested in the Song Kingdom, it was not very interested. Also because of the constraints of many forces, the Tang Dynasty did not allow Xu Dayuan to monopolize the Song Kingdom. In the minds of the people of the Tang Dynasty, the Song Dynasty The country is his vassal, a mouth full of fat.
The Tianxing Army completely ignored any power constraints and directly annihilated 50,000 Dayuan cavalry, which made the Dayuan royal family extremely angry, but it was beyond their reach. In the first ten years, Dayuan fought a life and death battle with a big country further west for many years. The war ended recently.
Only now did he get out and wanted to join forces with the Tang Dynasty to send troops to destroy the Tianxing Kingdom. The two countries agreed to send monks and vowed to kill the monks of the Tianxing Kingdom as well.
It is said that the Tang Dynasty has initially promised to send high-level monks to attack the Tianxing Kingdom. If it fails militarily, it will be recaptured in other ways.
Unlike the Tianxing Kingdom, where there are many sects, although there are many sects in the Tang Dynasty, there are only three major sects. The others are all their branches or related forces. The Holy Spirit Sect is one of the three sects.
The Dayuan monks are actually only one sect, the royal family's Dayuan clan. Of course, there are also a large number of small sects of cultivation, masters from other tribes or casual cultivators. There are many Dayuan monks, and they inherit the ferocity of the Dayuan people. He is also famous for being ruthless in the world of cultivation.
Ye Xing's spiritual consciousness cultivation level is currently at the Golden Core stage. If he pays a little attention, he will hear countless information from more Da Yuan monks. In other words, it is certain that Datang and Da Yuan will send cultivation masters to attack the Tianxing Kingdom. What happened was that they failed militarily and they wanted to get it back in other ways.
Ye Xing analyzed the news he heard and felt that there would not be too much deviation, so he used the long-wave radio to pass the news to the secret informant of "Nighthawk" in Dayuan, and then to the top management of Tianxing Kingdom. At the same time, he also Inform Xuan Yuezong to be careful.
