There are many branches of Jade in Jianghu, in every prefecture and county, and even some large prefectures and counties will have two or three branches. There is only one place where they are not available, the capital of the Qi Dynasty - Wushuang City.
Not far after leaving the town, Long Yun and Yu Ping found a family in a deserted wilderness.
A very strange building, seven or eight stories high, with an attic made entirely of bamboo. There is no plaque outside the door, so outsiders have no idea what kind of business is going on here.
Pushing open the door made of green wood and bamboo, Long Yun and Yu Ping walked into the bamboo building together.
A man with a blue face and a rectangular cotton hat looked directly at them in the bamboo building. There was a long counter in the middle, and there was a staircase behind it, which vaguely seemed to lead to the upper floor.
Seeing the guests coming, the host asked: "What news do you want to buy when you come to Jade?"
Long Yun handed him a piece of paper with the medicinal materials needed for the Destiny's Great Return Pill and asked: "I want to know where these things can be found?"
The person in charge looked at it, calculated in his mind and said: "Three thousand taels of gold!"
“So expensive??”
“There is no second price!”
Long Yun reluctantly took out a banknote with the Baolong number on it, wrote 300,000 on it and handed it to the person in charge.
The person in charge then raised his eyes and took a closer look at Long Yun and the others. He actually didn't believe that the three of them could come up with so much money and such banknotes.
He took the banknote and checked it carefully, "Please wait a moment, sir!"
After that, the person in charge slowly walked upstairs.
Baolong is the largest bank in Kyushu, and its banknotes can be circulated anywhere. The reason is that no one can imitate the banknotes it issues.
Baolong's silver notes are divided into Yu-zi tickets and Zhou-zi tickets. The Yu-zi tickets stipulate the amount of silver the bank notes can be exchanged for. You can only exchange the amount of money issued to you, which is equivalent to the amount of silver spent.
The Zhou Zi Ticket is divided into four levels: Heaven, Earth, Xuan, and Huang. The lowest level, the Yellow level, can only be exchanged for up to 100 taels of silver, the Xuan level can be exchanged for up to 1,000 taels of silver, and the Earth level can be exchanged for up to 10,000 taels of silver. , Tian level can be exchanged for silver within 10 million taels.
When the Zhouzi ticket is issued to you, there is no number filled in. It is extremely convenient to write down when you use it.
Even more expensive are golden tickets, which are also divided into Yuzi tickets and Zhouzi tickets. The number of gold levels redeemable is the same as that of silver tickets.
Whether in the dynasty or in the world, most of the Yu-zi tickets were circulated. Zhou-zi tickets were specially provided to some wealthy businessmen and nobles, and were mostly status symbols that carried a large amount of silver. Some of the Zhouzi tickets in circulation are filled with numbers and used once. There are very few people like Long Yun who fill out the Zhouzi tickets on the spot.
What's more, it is the highest level of the Zhou Zi Ticket, which is enough to show that Long Yun's status is noble and makes the person in charge have to take a second look.
Three thousand taels of gold is not a small sum no matter where you put it. Paying so much money just for the whereabouts of these things made even the richest man, Mr. Long, feel a little distressed.
After a while, the person in charge walked down slowly, holding a stack of paper in his hand and handed it to Long Yun through the counter.
"The known whereabouts of these things are all here. How many more there are in the world is unknown. There are also descriptions and introductions of the forms of these things on the paper. They are given to you as a discount, free of charge!"
Long Yun was not in a hurry to check the contents on the paper and said, "I still need the Xu Shi Lu!"
Xu Shi Lu is a book that records common knowledge about Xu Shi. Many people who have just entered the realm of Xu Shi will try to get a copy to avoid making mistakes. This is what Yu Ping told Long Yun.
Yuhei was very excited. He always felt that he failed to advance to Kyoshi. On the one hand, it was because he was not talented enough, and on the other hand, he knew too little about Kyoshi.
The person in charge did not ask about the price or think as he did just now, but looked at Long Yun with raised eyebrows: "The Xu Shi Lu is only sold to Xu Shi!"
Long Yun did not answer, but stretched out his hand, and a black iron sword in the void stood in it.
The person in charge was very surprised when he saw it, "Xu Shi recorded one hundred thousand taels of gold!"
Long Yun and Yu Ping took a breath. A book called Xu Shilu is so expensive. One hundred thousand taels of gold is equivalent to ten million taels of silver. This is just an introduction book. There is no secret, but it is so expensive!
Looking at the expressions of the three people, the person in charge explained a little, "There are many things in the book that you must know, and you can sell it to others at will in the future. The price is not expensive!"
Yu Ping pulled Long Yun and whispered: "Since you can buy and sell at will, there may be other places, and the price will naturally be cheaper than here. How about..."
Long Yun knew what Yu Ping meant, but he was not a person who liked to wait. He could get it now, so why bother looking around? He immediately took out a heaven-level Zhouzi ticket and threw it to the person in charge, without even writing down the number. , because the maximum can only be exchanged for 10 million taels.
The person in charge took the banknote, pulled out a small book from his sleeve and handed it to Long Yun.
Long Yun took the small book and left with Yu Ping and Yao Laner. The person in charge said with a smile: "Welcome to come again next time!"
After hurriedly leaving the attic, Long Yun said nothing, as if he had something on his mind.
Yu Ping noticed that Long Yun's expression was interesting, so he didn't speak in a hurry. After leaving the attic for a long time, he asked: "Did Brother Long find anything weird?"
Long Yun's expression was very strange. It didn't look like he was worried or happy, but slightly excited. "Brother Yu, you once said that there are many places where you can buy and sell news like Yu??"
"Yes, some large prefectures and counties will open two or three stores, and even some special places will open more than ten. What's wrong?"
"Does every store sell this Xu Shi Lu?"
“Everyone sells it!”
Long Yun narrowed his eyes and said: "This means that there are at least hundreds of such lofts in hundreds of prefectures and counties in Jiuzhou, which means that the Yu organization has at least hundreds of virtual warriors!"
"How can this be seen?"
"I just condensed a black iron sword in the void, and the person in charge obviously saw it!"
Yu Ping was also horrified for a moment. An organization that sells information could actually have hundreds of Kyoshi. This meant that it could defeat the Qi Dynasty in an instant.
By the way, only Xushi can purchase the Records of Xushi. How do those lofts determine whether a person is a Xushi? Only Kyoshi can identify it, and Yu Ping, who had never thought about it carefully before, also discovered the key.
Long Yun was excited. He originally thought that there were so few great masters in the world, and even fewer virtuous men. But now it seemed that he had underestimated the world's heroes, and the world might not be as weak as he imagined.
The three of them wandered to the next county and browsed the records of Xu Shi casually on the way. The contents not only feasted the eyes of Yu Ping, a "layman", but also gave Long Yun a deeper understanding of Xu Shi. The world is so colorful.
The first five pages of Xu Shi Lu contain the same content: "Anyone who enters the court and interferes with the imperial power and governance of the world - kill; anyone who harms people's lives without reason - kill; anyone who disturbs the order of the world - kill."
There is a beautiful mountain peak printed at the bottom of the first page. At the foot of the mountain is written the word Jing, which is the token of Jinghai Cihangzhai.
At the bottom of the second page, there are five demon-like creatures wrapped around a blood-red door. On the left and right sides of the door is written - Shura, which is the token of the Shura Gate.
There is a small island in the lake at the bottom of the third page, with a bright moon hanging in the sky. There are two small characters faintly in the dark sky - Moon Night, which is the token of Moon Night Island.
There is a long staircase at the bottom of the fourth page that goes straight into the sky. There is a pavilion faintly in the clouds, with a sky character floating outside, which is the token of Tongten Pavilion.
The bottom of the fifth page is blurry, gray and black, and nothing can be seen. There is only a word "Xuan", which is the token of Xuanmen.
The rules jointly formulated by the five holy places do not need to be publicized by too many people. As long as you enter the realm of Xu Shi, you will take a look at the Records of Xu Shi, and you will naturally know these three rules.
Long Yun was not interested in why the Five Holy Lands enacted such rules. He was curious about how the Five Holy Lands could be sure that others would abide by these three rules. Taoist Mao had seen it with his own eyes.
In Long Yun's eyes, these two rules are not very important and are even somewhat formal. The great elder of Jinghai Cihangzhai was killed by him. What other powerful people can there be in the five holy places? Since Jade can have hundreds of virtual warriors, how can it not be the sixth holy land?
Having just taken a trip and done nothing, Long Yun knew far more than the years he wasted in Wushuang City.
These hundreds of virtual warriors are definitely far beyond my imagination. Maybe I have just stirred up a ripple in this river and lake. If I go deeper, there will be people or things that will surprise me even more.
Just when Long Yun was still imagining how much surprise this arena could bring to him, he thought about it and discovered another problem.
"Since I can think of the issue about hundreds of virtual warriors, then other people in the world should also think of it. People in the Five Holy Lands should also know that these hundreds of virtual warriors are so willing to sell information?"
Yu Ping thought for a while and said: "According to the master, the five holy places have existed for too long and no one has ever resisted or had the intention to resist. It has been a long time since Yu was established and has never been with the five holy places. There has been a conflict in the Holy Land, it can’t be accidental, there must be some reason that we don’t know!”
Long Yun thought about it carefully: "There are only two reasons. One is that Yu has an absolutely powerful inheritance to rule from generation to generation and does not provoke disputes with the Five Holy Lands. The other is that the Five Holy Lands have overwhelming strength that makes Yu not dare to have any ideas! "
Yu Ping: "Yes, Jade has such strong strength, even if he has no intention of fighting, but isn't the name of the Sixth Holy Land attractive?"
The two of them couldn't talk about anything and continued to look through the Xu Shilu.
After flipping through the first five pages of rules, there were only five big words on the sixth page, "Tao, Huan, Ling, Heaven, and Soldiers!"
Then there is the explanation of these five words. The abilities of all virtual warriors are roughly divided into these five categories.
The virtual warriors in the Tao realm are the most powerful, ranking first, and their ability to control is the law of Taoism.
Illusionists are ranked second and can use illusions.
The spiritual realm warriors are ranked third, and can summon spiritual bodies and spiritual objects at will.
The celestial beings are ranked fourth and can control all natural things in the world.
The virtual warriors in the military realm are ranked last, and they can transform into various weapons out of the void.
Among them, the abilities of the virtual warriors in the five realms also depend on the specific ones. They are not mutually restrained, but the Tao realm is generally more powerful.
There is another kind of virtual warrior ability that is not among these five categories. After most of the great masters are full of energy and blood and advance to the virtual warrior level, the abilities they get are not chosen by themselves, but whatever God gives you. But if you are practicing at the virtual level In terms of martial arts, the ability after being promoted to a virtual warrior is the same as the martial arts he practiced.
"Virtual level martial arts?"
When Long Yungang was about to feel a little disappointed because the "Xuanwu Chongtian Sword" he practiced was ranked last, he saw this most special category. He thought that the "Xuanwu Chongtian Sword" should be a virtual level martial arts to be so versatile. .
After the Five Realms of Virtual Realms, there are records about the ten directions. No matter which realm a virtual warrior is in, each realm can only have ten kinds of abilities at most. If he possesses them all, he is called a "Five Realms and Ten Directions" virtual warriors, a total of fifty kinds. You can tell how strong his abilities are just by thinking about them. Unfortunately, it is recorded at the end that there are no such virtual warriors in the world.
