After discovering that they had no money, the two of them had no choice but to ask the innkeeper about the location of a store that specialized in collecting animal skins and bones. Then, following the directions from the innkeeper, they came to a chamber of commerce called Pu Shu in the east of the city.
The Shengtang Dynasty has a vast territory, and of course there are many chambers of commerce in it. In Senzhou City alone, there are more than 20 chambers of commerce, both local and out of town. This Pushu Chamber of Commerce was opened by a local wealthy family, and its main purpose is to acquire They will purchase materials related to ghost beasts, such as animal skins, beast souls, bones, inner elixirs, and all materials from ghost beasts.
When the two came to the entrance of the Chamber of Commerce, they saw a six-story building. The whole building was square and square, with countless sparkling glass mirrors on the facade. The lights in the building looked hazy and hazy through the mirrors. It is warm, and occasionally strands of light can be seen flowing through the mirror. The overall style is similar to modern architecture in the human world.
Seeing the two of them coming to the door, a boy came up to them with a smile: "What are you two guests here to buy?"
Shi Chishang looked around and said, "I have a batch of corpses of ghost beasts here. How do you buy them?"
Seeing that it was Shi Chishang's first time here, the boy smiled and said: "Sir, you are right. We Pu Shu specialize in purchasing materials about ghost beasts. If what you have here is a corpse, then we will collect it based on the ghost beast's lifetime." Evaluate based on the strength and completeness of the body. If it is a single material, the price will be calculated based on the texture of the material. Please come here."
The boy led the two of them into the lobby, to a secret room on the left dedicated to trading, and served tea for them. Not long after, a big man with muscles all over his body walked in. His tone was quite polite, and he asked : "You two want to sell the corpse of a ghost beast, right? Please take it out and let me estimate the price."
Upon hearing this, Shi Chishang directly took out the corpses of several ghost beasts that he had killed before.
In order to save time, he directly used his killing power to kill these ghost beasts. Therefore, although the vitality of their corpses was completely wiped out, the beast elixir, bones, and fur in their bodies were intact.
After checking it carefully, the big man looked at Shi Chishang with a look of shock on his face, nodded and said, "Your Majesty, your skills are good. The corpses of these ghost beasts are intact, are there any left?"
Shi Chishang nodded and took out the remaining dozens of ghost beast corpses.
At that time, time was urgent, and he only had time to put these away. At that time, they were just treated as trophies, but he did not expect that now he would respond to the emergency.
The big man was a middle-stage Pluto. Although his strength was not high, his eyesight was very good. After examining all the corpses, he made a mental calculation: "The number given by the guest officer is quite large, so I won't count it based on the specific rank. Thirty-two Hades-level ghost beasts, worth twenty Holy Tang coins each, and twelve Hades-level ghost beasts, each worth a hundred Holy Tang coins, okay?"
Shi Chishang didn't know the price of goods in the Shengtang Dynasty. Anyway, at this stage, they just wanted to find a place to live as soon as possible. The money from selling the corpses of these ghost beasts was enough for them to live in the city for more than thirty days. He nodded immediately: "Okay."
The big man didn't expect Shi Chishang to be so cheerful, and was startled. Then he laughed and said: "Your Majesty, you are very generous. I will ask someone to bring the money over. Do you two want to buy something else from us? Although our Pu Shu specializes in buying ghosts." Beast carcasses, but there are also underworld weapons and elixirs for sale.”
"Are you selling information?" Shi Chishang asked quickly after hearing this.
"Intelligence?" The big man was stunned for a moment, then nodded, "Yes, but the price of the information depends on what kind of information the guest officer wants."
"Understood." Shi Chishang nodded.
After a while, the boy who had just brought them here had brought 1,840 Shengtang coins, which were of course placed in a storage ring. Shi Chishang took out the storage ring to collect the payment, and then asked the boy We were led back to the lobby on the first floor.
Because Huang Chenyang had no weapons, he went to the area selling weapons by himself. Shi Chishang followed the boy to the second floor alone.
The second floor was dedicated to selling information. As soon as Shi Chishang walked in, he saw countless ghosts in red cloaks floating around in the hall, sending jade slips one after another to dozens of rows. at the table.
While looking at the ghosts, Shi Chishang followed the boy to a square table. Behind the table stood a man with a mustache in a red robe. His aura seemed to be that of a living person, rather than a condensed ghost with a soul body. Belongs to.
Seeing Shi Chishang, the man with a mustache smiled and said, "What kind of information does the guest want? Or do you have specific requirements?"
Shi Chishang nodded and asked, "Do you have any way to get to the Xuanming River Basin as soon as possible?"
"The Xuanming River Basin?" The man was stunned for a moment, then smiled, "The Xuanming River Basin is very large. Does your guest have an approximate location?"
"Yam Luo Mansion, I don't care about the specific city, as long as you can get to Yama Luo Mansion." Shi Chishang replied.
"Yam Luo Mansion," the man smiled, "I, Shengtang, have an alliance with Yama Luo Mansion. It is convenient to go there on weekdays. Our Chamber of Commerce has a special teleportation array to go to Yama Luo Mansion. But now that the underworld beast army is attacking, the observation envoy has already Order all places in Weiyang Dao to close the teleportation array, and you are only allowed to come in but not go out!"
Shi Chishang frowned slightly, seeing that he was determined, and sighed: "Is there any way? The price is not an issue."
"My lord, you are joking," the man cupped his hands and explained sincerely, "If it were normal times, we wouldn't be able to operate it in private, but this time things are a bit special. It is an order issued by the Observer. We, Sen. The governor of the state also personally summoned each of our families and strictly ordered us to activate the teleportation array privately. Once discovered, regardless of the background, it will be a serious crime of confiscating the family and beheading."
Relying on his soul perception, Shi Chishang knew that the other party was telling the truth. However, the more so, the uglier his face became.
After a long while, he suppressed his sadness and asked, "Is there any other way?"
The man hesitated for a moment and said: "The best way is for the guest to leave Weiyang Road directly. This time, only our Weiyang Road is attacked in the Huangquan River Basin, so as long as you leave here, you can teleport to any larger state capital. The formation leads to Yama Mansion."
Senzhou is located in the southwest of the middle of Weiyang Road. However, Shi Chishang has studied the map and found that if he wanted to leave Weiyang Road, even the shortest straight-line distance, he would have to fly for ten years with Youwu Sword Wings alone. He didn't know that he How long have you been staying in the River Styx? How can you think of flying slowly for ten years?
Sighing, Shi Chishang frowned and said, "How long did the attack on Huangquan usually last?"
The man smiled when he heard this and said nothing. He just rubbed his fingers gently. Shi Chishang's face darkened and he asked helplessly: "How much?"
"The guest officer just asked a total of three questions, plus the next one, there are four in total." The man smiled kindly, "According to the rules of our Pushu Chamber of Commerce, the first three questions are relatively common, and they are considered Ding. The last one It has to be considered as C grade, a D grade question is considered..."
Shi Chishang rolled his eyes and said impatiently: "Just make a quote."
"Five hundred Holy Tang coins." The man in red robe replied.
With a twitch in the corner of his eye, Shi Chishang silently took out five hundred Shengtang coins and threw them over. The latter took them without counting them. He just flicked out a ball of light and swept the pile of coins a few times, then nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile: "The Huangquan River Basin will attack us roughly once every five hundred years. In the past five thousand years, the average duration of ten attacks is about thirty-seven years."
"Thirty-seven years?" Shi Chishang took a breath and gritted his teeth, "I know."
"Do you have any more questions, sir?" the man asked expectantly.
Shi Chishang shook his head with a dark face, turned around and walked out. The boy who had just led him here quickly followed him and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, do you want to leave Weiyang Road? We have a special flying weapon here to walk outside. A flying underworld weapon is indispensable."
Shi Chishang said nothing and walked to the first floor in silence. He happened to see Huang Chenyang walking out of the weapons sales area with a curse.
Seeing Shi Chishang, Huang Chenyang hurried over and gritted his teeth and said, "Damn, the things here are too expensive. A second-grade underworld war knife costs 120,000 Holy Tang coins."
"My lord, our Pu Shu sells it at a reasonable price," the boy quickly cried out after hearing this, "Go to other chambers of commerce and see. A second-grade underworld weapon, not the top one, is the best." The ordinary one and the one with problems cost 130,000 to 40,000 yuan. And you are talking about the Jueying Sword, right? The price is 120,000 yuan. It is made of shadow iron and virtual lapis lazuli! If it is not produced during forging, Something went wrong and the knife was much heavier, and I'm afraid it would have sold for 180,000 yuan."
Huang Chenyang curled his lips and said nothing. Shi Chishang rubbed his brow and asked: "A second-grade underworld weapon costs hundreds of thousands, so the flying underworld weapon you just mentioned should be more expensive, right?"
The boy chuckled and said nothing. Shi Chishang understood what was happening and waved his hand: "You mainly buy the bones of ghosts and beasts here, right?"
"Yes," the young man nodded and understood what he meant. He took out a jade slip from his sleeve and handed it over, "This is a list of our main acquisitions. Guests can refer to it."
Shi Chishang stretched out his hand to take it, but saw the boy's eyes wandering around for a few times before asking helplessly: "How much?"
The boy smiled and said: "It's cheap, only two hundred Shengtang coins."
Shi Chishang threw over two hundred Shengtang coins, took the jade slip, and quickly walked out of the chamber of commerce while pulling Huang Chenyang.
"What's wrong?" When he came to the street, Huang Chenyang frowned and said, "Looks like the question didn't go well?"
Shi Chishang nodded and roughly explained what he had learned. Huang Chenyang took a breath and tutted: "It will take ten years just to fly, and you may encounter enemies on the way. When the war is over, it will be too late." It will take more than thirty years, and it seems that I won’t be able to go to Yama Mansion in a short time. Hey, you didn’t ask if you could send a message?”
Shi Chishang shook his head slightly, looked around, and said via voice: "Have you forgotten that I was hunted down before? Although the ghost world is very big, the law of imbalance of life and death must have spread to all river basins. Senior sisters and the others must have been noticed by the major forces, and if I rashly let them pass on the news, my identity may be exposed."
"That's right!" Huang Chenyang nodded and frowned, "What about it?"
"There is no other way. Let's pick the one with the shortest time. Go out to hunt ghost beasts first, and save enough money to buy a flying underworld weapon," Shi Chishang frowned, "We can't really fly out of Weiyang Road on our own, even if there is a flying machine. Be more convenient.”
"That's right," Huang Chenyang grinned, "But I'm only a Mingshi, so you won't let me do it, right?"
Shi Chishang said helplessly: "I can go, but you have to enter my soul country. Your time method is quite helpful to me."
"Okay!" Huang Chenyang chuckled and left Senzhou with Shi Chishang.
