Chapter 679
One of the werewolves asked:
"What are you doing here, you loser of the elves?"
Tong Guanglin's face was obviously not pretty, but he still smiled and said:
"You two, I am here to hand over the Roselle on behalf of the Elf Village."
Upon hearing this, the two werewolves suddenly looked surprised.
Because the City Lord's Mansion has not received any Luoshen flowers for more than two months.
One of the werewolves stretched out his hand and said to Tong Guanglin: "Give it to me directly."
Tong Guanglin frowned: "You two, something as important as the Roselle flower was always handed over to the Lord of the City with his own hands in the past."
The two werewolves' eyes widened immediately, "Why, you don't believe us!"
"Hurry up and get the roselle!"
Seeing that the other party was about to draw his sword, Tong Guanglin had no choice but to take the cloth bag containing the Roselle flowers from Tong Xin's hand, and then handed it to one of the werewolves.
The werewolf checked and found out that it was indeed Roselle, and immediately laughed.
Then he glared at Tong Guanglin and the others coldly, and growled:
"Why are you still standing there? Get out of here! Is Tianyicheng a place where you can stay?!"
Tong Guanglin clenched his fists, but he didn't dare to get angry here, so he had to use his eyes to signal Tong Xin to leave.
Seeing Xiao Zhan standing there without moving, Tong Xin quickly asked:
"Xiao Zhan, aren't you leaving?"
Xiao Zhan shook his head and said with a smile:
"You go back, I won't go back to your village."
Tong Xin nodded, clasped her fists at Xiao Zhan and said:
"Thank you for saving me yesterday. Please come to our village again when you have the opportunity."
Xiao Zhan nodded and watched the two of them leave.
The two werewolves standing at the door of the city lord's mansion looked at Xiao Zhan and said coldly:
"Boy, why don't you get out of here!"
Xiao Zhan glanced inside the city lord's mansion, and without bothering with the two werewolves, he turned around and walked towards a nearby street.
This is the territory of the Celestial Clan.
Xiao Zhan was naturally very cautious, worried that his identity as a human would be discovered.
He didn't even know what the currency was in circulation here, and the only thing on his body that had some value was probably the Roselle flower.
After walking around the city for a long time, Xiao Zhan kept paying attention to the situation around him.
It wasn't until it got dark that Xiao Zhan knocked on the door of a blacksmith shop.
The stove at the door was not extinguished.
The red light of the charcoal fire reflected on Xiao Zhan's body, making Xiao Zhan feel a little hot.
A gap opened between the two door panels of the blacksmith shop. A young man frowned at Xiao Zhan and asked in a deep voice:
"For what?"
Xiao Zhan said in a deep voice:
"I have something in my hand, do you want to take it?"
During the day, Xiao Zhan noticed that people were coming in and out of this place from time to time, and those people were obviously not here to make weapons. They all came with something, and when they came out, they were empty-handed, and they all looked sneaky.
Xiao Zhan guessed that this was probably a shady shop.
As for why he couldn't see the light, Xiao Zhan didn't know for a while.
The young man inside the door looked at Xiao Zhan and confirmed that Xiao Zhan was a stranger, so he whispered:
"You're in the wrong place, we don't accept anything here."
After saying that, the young man wanted to close the door.
Xiao Zhan said in a deep voice:
"Roselle, don't you accept it either?"
Hearing the words "roselle", the young man immediately stopped moving. After two seconds of silence, he suddenly opened the door and motioned for Xiao Zhan to go in.
After Xiao Zhan came in, he looked outside with great vigilance. After confirming that no one was paying attention, he closed the door again.
The room was dark.
The young man lowered his voice and said:
"follow me!"
After saying that, he took Xiao Zhan into the next room and touched the wall behind a stove. A secret passage immediately appeared in front of the two of them.
The young man led Xiao Zhan down the steps. After walking for a while, stone chambers appeared in front of him.
The young man stood at the door of one of the stone rooms and said something, and then motioned for Xiao Zhan to go in.
Xiao Zhan walked in and saw candlelight in the stone room.
A middle-aged man was sitting on a chair, holding a black pill in his hand. He gently scraped a little off with a knife, put it on the tip of his tongue and tasted it.
Seeing Xiao Zhan come in, the middle-aged man motioned for Xiao Zhan to sit down, then put the pill in his hand into the small porcelain bottle, and then raised his hand to put the small porcelain bottle on the shelf behind him.
The middle-aged man then looked at Xiao Zhan and looked at Xiao Zhan with some surprise. Apparently he didn't see that Xiao Zhan belonged to that race.
But the middle-aged man was not too confused.
After all, since the Celestial Clan came to rule thousands of races, people from the Celestial Clan began to intermarry with people from other races, and other races also began to intermarry with each other.
So much so that the blood lines in some people's bodies are so mixed that they cannot tell which race they belong to, which is normal.
"Do you have roselle flowers in your hand?"
Xiao Zhan nodded and did not take out the Roselle directly, but asked straight to the point:
"Please quote a price."
The middle-aged man frowned:
"If the roselle flower is well preserved and has been picked for less than a month, I can give you ten sky crystals."
"From one month to three months, only five sky crystals will be given."
Xiao Zhan nodded: "I just picked it yesterday and it is well preserved."
"Then you have to let me take a look at the goods," the middle-aged man chuckled, "You are lucky, no one has sent roselle flowers to the city lord's mansion for nearly two months."
"Now the price of Roselle flowers in the dark market has increased several times. If it were half a year ago, one sky crystal would have been enough to buy several Roselle flowers."
Xiao Zhan directly reached into his arms and took out the Roselle flower.
This middle-aged man was obviously an expert, and he knew at a glance that Xiao Zhan was not lying. This Luoshen flower was indeed freshly picked and well-preserved.
The middle-aged man didn't waste any time. He took a wooden box from the shelf behind him, took out ten pale golden crystals and placed them in front of Xiao Zhan.
This spar, shaped like an apricot kernel and the size of a peanut, exudes a rich energy that Xiao Zhan has never been exposed to before.
Xiao Zhan put ten heaven crystals in his arms, stood up and planned to leave.
The middle-aged man said:
"If you have other rose flowers, I can give you a higher price. Everything is negotiable."
Xiao Zhan paused and looked back at the middle-aged man.
This middle-aged man's face is white and beardless, and his eyes are long and narrow, but the pupils are like vertical kernels, vaguely glowing with a faint blue light. If you look closely, you can see that the skin all over his body is covered with an extremely fine layer of white. The scales cannot be seen unless you look carefully. ..
The middle-aged man didn't care that Xiao Zhan was looking at him and smiled:
"My father is from the Celestial Clan, and my mother is from the White Snake Clan."
Xiao Zhan shook his head and said, "I only have this Roselle flower. If I can still find it, I'll negotiate the price with you."
After saying that, Xiao Zhan was about to leave.
The middle-aged man stopped Xiao Zhan again and asked with a smile:
"I have a lot of good things here, don't you want to take a look? Maybe there will be something you like. With ten sky crystals, you can buy a lot of things."
As expected, he was doing business. He just took out the Tianjing and immediately wanted to take it back.
But Xiao Zhan really knows too little about this world. Seeing what is here can be regarded as a deeper understanding, which is not a bad thing.
After thinking about it, Xiao Zhan nodded and said:
"What's good?"
The middle-aged man smiled and said:
"Elixirs, weapons, medicinal materials, exercises, maps, everything you need is available."
As he spoke, the middle-aged man took the thick book on the table.
The booklet was thrown directly to Xiao Zhan, and he lay back on the chair:
"See for yourself."
Xiao Zhan opened the book and read page by page.
The most expensive thing here is a Kung Fu book, with a listed selling price of 10,000 Heavenly Crystals.
The middle-aged man was not in a hurry and just waited for Xiao Zhan to look through it slowly.
After half an hour passed, Xiao Zhan put the booklet on the table and said in a deep voice:
""Historical Records", "Dharma Code" and "Fire Blowing Palm" have price tags on five heaven crystals."
The middle-aged man nodded:
"The "Historical Records" and "Dharma Codex" are all worthless stuff, but "Fire Blowing Palm" is a fairly acceptable technique. It costs five heaven crystals in total, which is not expensive... How much can you offer? "
Xiao Zhan said in a deep voice:
"A sky crystal."
"Okay, deal," the middle-aged man nodded with a smile, and then shouted outside the stone room:
"Xiao Si, bring over one copy each of "Historical Records", "Dharma Code" and "Blowing Fire Palm".
A voice of agreement sounded outside the door.
Xiao Zhan felt as if he was being slaughtered.
But Xiao Zhan didn't waste any time and took out a sky crystal and placed it on the table.
Soon, the young man who brought Xiao Zhan in just now brought three classics.
Xiao Zhan put it directly into his arms, turned around and left with the young man named Xiaosi.
After a while, Xiao Si walked back to the stone room.
The middle-aged man played with the sky crystal in his hand and asked with a smile:
"People sent him away?"
Xiaosi nodded:
"Send him off. I've asked Lao Wu to follow him. If he has other rose flowers, they will definitely fall into our hands."
"Hehe," the middle-aged man smiled even more happily, "if we wait for a while, the price of Roselle will rise."
Xiaosi asked with confusion on his face:
"Shopkeeper, although the price of Roselle in the dark market is rising, who dares to buy it?"
"If someone from the Celestial Clan finds out, they will die."
The middle-aged man smiled disdainfully:
"The one who wants to sell it to the Celestial Clan."
Xiaosi became even more confused.
"If people from the Celestial Clan want Roselle flowers, do they still need to buy Tianjing?"
"You know nothing!" The middle-aged man glared at Xiaosi: "You are a pig-headed person."
"The little daughter of the Celestial Clan leader needs Roselle to survive."
"Everyone in the Celestial Clan wants to send more Roselle flowers in exchange for more rewards."
"Especially the young masters of the important families of the Celestial Clan are collecting Luoshen flowers, hoping to gain recognition from the Celestial Clan's leader and rise to prominence."
Xiaosi understood instantly and laughed:
"The sons of those big shots in the Celestial Clan are very wealthy, so they will definitely be willing to pay a lot of sky crystals to buy Roselle flowers."
The middle-aged man said "hmm" and then said:
"I heard in a few days that the eldest lady from the Tian Clan is going to pass by our Tian Yicheng."
"You tell brothers to be careful and don't provoke people you shouldn't provoke."
Xiao Si nodded, then turned around and walked out of the stone room quickly.
At the same time, Xiao Zhan had found an inn in the city.
The waiter at the inn was very enthusiastic and told Xiao Zhan that one Tianjing would cover his stay for half a month.
Xiao Zhan didn't know the situation in this world yet, and he didn't plan to leave Tianyicheng for the time being. After entering the room, he asked the waiter:
"I want to rent a yard in Tianyi City. Do you have any connections?"
The waiter looked at Xiao Zhan with a smile, nodded and said, "To be honest, sir, my yard is deserted. No one has lived in it for several years. Although the area is not large, it is clean."
Small area means very small, and clean means very remote. Xiao Zhan knew this trick very well.
"If you are willing, Master, I can rent a Heaven Crystal to you for half a year."
Xiao Zhan barely hesitated, nodded and said:
"Then go now and help me vacate this room."
The waiter smiled and nodded.
Logically speaking, the room cannot be returned.
But Xiao Zhan wanted to rent the house of Xiao Er's family, so he was naturally willing to help Xiao Zhan retreat.
After checking out, the waiter put a sky crystal into his arms and said with a smile:
"This is the rent you gave me. I will take you there now."
Xiao Zhan nodded and followed the waiter out of the inn, walking around one street after another.
More than an hour passed before the waiter took Xiao Zhan to the edge of Tianyi City.
Next to it is a moat that is a hundred feet wide. The turbid water is constantly surging and rushing, which is really noisy.
