Chapter 37 The Four Major Merchants
"Shan--"
Li Qing walked into the library on time in the afterglow of the sunset.
"Mr. Li."
Guan Xiaoshan looked up and agreed with a smile. During this period, it has become customary for Li Qing to come to speak twice in the morning and evening, and he has become accustomed to it.
Li Qing stood opposite the desk and said mysteriously in a low voice, "Xiaoshan, have you heard that Miss Yun has been out of the customs? Countless figures in Kunlun City are ready to celebrate."
"Real? I don't know." Guan Xiaoshan shook his head very simply.
Li Qing smiled ambiguously, leaned forward, and got closer. I heard that Miss Yun's retreat was very successful this time, and all the withered flowers regained their vitality, which had no impact on future cultivation. The elder and Miss Yun were very happy. Ha ha... Xiaoshan, you are blessed."
Guan Xiaoshan didn't react for a moment and said in astonishment, "Am I blessed?"
"That's right--"
Li Qing seemed to be very excited. He walked around lightly in front of the book and said happily, "Xiaoshan, Miss Yun and the elder will definitely invite you to talk in the past two days. By the way, they will reward you and possibly help you fulfill your wishes. Think about it, if Miss Yun doesn't recover well, the elder will not be in a good mood. I'm afraid your reward will be greatly reduced. Now, hehe - don't worry, you just need to figure out your wishes.
Is that really the case? Is Miss Yun and the elder really a ungrateful person?
The scene of being surrounded by the crowd and leaving without looking back, Guan Xiaoshan was a little pessimistic about the future. However, he did not dare to show his pessimistic thoughts. Whether Yun Xiu didn't care about himself as a lifesaver, he must cherish this identity to shock Yin Jian and Li Qing. An intoxicated smile appeared on his face, and he praised loudly, "Mr. Li is so smart. There is a word to say. Yes, that's right! It's just a little knowledge. If you don't say it, I really don't understand.
Li Qing came up again, his eyes were shining, and he asked curiously, "Xiaoshan, what do you want?"
"It's gone." Guan Xiaoshan shook his head and said with a simple smile, "If it hadn't been for Mr. Li's reminder, I wouldn't have thought of this."
"Xiaoshan, this opportunity is rare. You must be careful and don't miss it. Uh-huh... If you have any ideas, you can discuss it with me.
Li Qing thought about the words and told Yin Yin; at this point, she seemed to feel too serious. As soon as her accent turned, she smiled bitterly and said, "Ha ha... Xiaoshan, what's wrong with me? You are older than me. I have always regarded you as my brother in my heart, but how can there be a nosy girl like me in the world? Fortunately, my sister is not real, or you will definitely be annoyed."
Guan Xiaoshan smiled and said, "I know Mr. Li is good to me. How can I be annoyed? Hey hey - in fact, I have always loved Mr. Li as a girl in my heart, but Mr. Li's status is noble, so I still respect you as a teacher.
Li Qing's eyes lit up and he shouted happily, "Really? Xiaoshan - Brother, do you really want me as a girl?
"Really!" Guan Xiaoshan nodded very kindly.
Li Qing turned his eyes and said with a cunning smile, "Brother Xiaoshan is lying. I don't believe it. Ha ha - Brother Xiaoshan is not allowed to quibble. If you really want to believe, you have to tell others, what excuse do you use to persuade the fox spirit to let Miss Yun go?
During this period, Li Qing has been asking about the process of Yun Kuashu's rescue. Guan Xiaoshan's words are unknown every time. He only said that after the ambush in the ice cave, the fierce spirit was ready to hold a divine meat banquet. When he, his servant, was helping at the scene, accidentally found Yunshi. He saw that Yun Xiu couldn't bear to let her die at a young age, so he found an excuse to beg the fox spirit to leave Yun Xiu's life, but he didn't expect it to succeed. Like him, the fierce spirit allied army did not know the identity of Yun Xiu, and only thought that he was an ordinary monk. The fox spirit's status in the allied army was not low. Once he opened his mouth, it was no problem to save the life of an ordinary monk. After the divine meat banquet, the coalition was disbanded, and he and Yun Xiu were brought back to the fox nest 150 miles away from the east. Taking advantage of the fox's sleep, he fled to the east base overnight until he safely met the Kunlun City monk...
Li Qingying Yingyan, with a delicate smile and soft words, a small mountain brother, shouting makes people's hearts itch. Guan Xiaoshan couldn't help laughing and said, "Since Mr. Li looks up to me, call me Brother Xiaoshan. I will call you Li Qingmei in the future - ah, no, just call me Sister Qing. Be intimate." He pronounced the word "Qing" vaguely, which was almost the same as the word "Love". After a pause, he said, "Sister Qing, you asked me what excuse I used to plead with the fox at that time. It's not that I didn't want to say it, but that this excuse was an offense to Miss Yun, which was difficult to say. If you must want to know, I can also tell you. However, if it spreads and damages Miss Yun's reputation in the future, that's your business, and I won't admit it.
Brother Xiaoshan! What the hell is it? Tell me quickly, I won't send it out." The more Guan Xiaoshan said so, the more curious Li Qing became and kept urging him.
"Actually, the excuse I used is very simple..."
Guan Xiaoshan smiled and said, "... At that time, I found the fox spirit and said, "Spirit Lord, spring is coming, and everything in the world begins to be called *chun. Your servant is not small, but there is no woman around me. Other people call me * spring, and I can only survive in spring. It's very pitiful. For the sake of the servant's diligence, Lord, can you reward this woman to the servant as a daughter-in-law? If a servant has a daughter-in-law, he can give birth to a bunch of slaves for the spiritual master in the future. He can pinch his shoulders, knead his legs, cook rice, and serve tea. Isn't that so elegant? Ha ha... That's my excuse."
"Ha ha... Ha ha..."
Before Guan Xiaoshan finished speaking, Li Qing's flowers and branches trembled with a smile, and the breasts * waves rolled. He shouted out of breath, "... Brother Xiaoshan... You are so bad... Ha ha... You are so bad..."
Guan Xiaoshan squinted and found that Li Qing was just funny, but his face was not red, and he didn't seem to be shy. In surprise, he had to pretend to be shy and said awkwardly, "Sister Qing - I said it's hard to say first, but you still laugh. I'm stupid. At that time, I couldn't think of any other excuse. The foxen was also stupid. She understood the vulgarity of *chun, but she didn't understand the idea of getting married. Hey hey - I really can't help it."
Li Qing covered his little mouth and said with a smile, "Okay, okay - I won't laugh. In that case, it's really amazing that Brother Xiaoshan can think of this saying."
Guan Xiaoshan scratched his head, laughed twice, and suddenly asked, "sister Qing, what are your five-e elements?"
"Five-e elements attribute? Why do you ask this?
Li Qing was stunned. Without waiting for Guan Xiaoshan to speak, he said bitterly, "Brother Xiaoshan, you don't know. The question you ask is a taboo for the mage. Knowing what kind of five elements of attributes a mage lacks is equivalent to knowing the mage's weakness. Probing for other people's weaknesses is often done by hostile people. Fortunately, you asked me. If it were someone else, he might turn against you on the spot.
"Ah?! That's it."
"Yes! That's it. If someone asks, I will definitely not say that Brother Xiaoshan is different. If you want to know, just tell you. I lack water in the five elements. Answering Guan Xiaoshan's question, Li Qing was a little curious and asked, "Brother Xiaoshan, why do you think of asking this?"
Guan Xiaoshan picked up a book from the desk and said, "I'm reading the Overview of the Geography of the Spiritual World. There is a problem in the book that I don't understand. According to the book, the evil land at the junction of Kunlun Prefecture and Xuanyuan Zhongzhou produces two kinds of spiritual crystals, fire and earth, and the evil land at the junction of Kunlun Prefecture and Cang Mangzhou produces two kinds of spiritual crystals, fire and gold; the evil land at the junction of Kunlun Prefecture and Changsheng Prefecture produces two kinds of spiritual crystals, fire and wood. The evil land in three directions produces four kinds of spiritual crystals: gold, wood, fire and earth. There are no water crystals. It is recorded in the book that the water spirit crystal is only produced in the evil places around Penglai Prefecture. Kunlun Prefecture can't produce it under any circumstances. In this case, how can local monks practice water attribute skills?
Guan Xiaoshan encountered trouble in his practice.
After Saturn is cultivated, according to the order, he should begin to absorb the water attribute aura until he cultivates Mercury. According to the experience of practicing Saturn and absorbing three yellow crystals, it is necessary to prepare at least three black crystals to cultivate Mercury; but he currently has only two black crystals, one third of which has been absorbed by Dekang. In any case, such a reserve is not enough to cultivate Mercury. At this time, his mind is full of cultivation. How can he stand the situation that stops halfway?
He asked Li Qing about the attributes of the five elements, just to inquire about the source of the black crystal. Unfortunately, Li Qing's five elements are short of water and don't worry about black crystals.
Li Qing didn't think much about it. He said the source of the black crystal: "There are merchants! The Chamber of Commerce supplies black crystals for cultivation in Kunlun City.
"Businessman? I haven't heard of it. Sister Qing, tell me in detail what's going on. Guan Xiaoshan had never heard of this and couldn't help asking.
"I've heard something about business, but it's not very detailed."
Li Qing rationalized his thoughts and said slowly, "The five spiritual pools are suitable for cultivation and are called the five blessed places. In addition, there are four small blessed places in the spiritual world; the aura of the four small blessed places is much more abundant than that of the border land, but rarer than the five blessed places. The monks of the Four Little Blessed Land are unwilling to fall behind the Five Blessed Lands, so they have thought of a lot of ways to speed up their cultivation; absorbing spiritual crystals to assist in cultivation is their first. At first, the four little blessed places relied on spiritual crystals to speed up the cultivation speed. In just two or three hundred years, a large number of gods and gods were created, and the momentum was quickly surpassed by the five blessing places. It's just that the good times don't last long. I don't know how this method has spread in the spiritual world. The five blessings have also been learned, and the momentum has come up again..."
"... The five lucky places have natural advantages. After the four lucky places lose their skill advantages, there are no other strengths. In the long run, they will definitely be left behind by the five lucky places. The four little blessed places were not willing. At this time, the two little lucky land monks in Xuanyuan Zhongzhou found that many foreign monks ventured through the evil land to collect spiritual crystals in Xuanyuan Zhongzhou, and many of them died for this. In addition to the five kinds of spiritual crystals produced on the four sides of Xuanyuan Zhongzhou, the other four states only produce four kinds of spiritual crystals, and foreign monks have no choice but to take such a risk. The two monks of Xiaofudi thought that this was a good opportunity, so they organized their own manpower to collect all kinds of spiritual crystals in Xuanyuan Zhongzhou, and then trafficked to the corresponding scarce other four states to exchange local natural materials and earth treasures, and then used natural materials and earth treasures to make magic elixirs to make up for the lack of cultivation. The other two small blessed places follow the same example, even if they are not in Xuanyuan Zhongzhou, they also risk trafficking. For local monks such as Kunlun Prefecture, it is naturally good to get scarce spiritual crystals without taking risks. In the future, they will no longer collect across states and wait for small lucky monks to traffic. In the long run, many rules have been formed, and the four small blessed places have become the four major merchants at the same time.
"Oh - there is such a thing!"
Guan Xiaoshan said repeatedly, what Li Qing said was not in the book. After thinking about it, he asked again, "sister Qing, do you know what natural resources and treasures can be exchanged with merchants?"
Li Qing shook his head and said regretfully, "Most of the merchants want to exchange are the products near the Yaochi of the divine world, or the products of the most dangerous places. We can't hear most of the names."
Guan Xiaoshan was shocked. In this case, how could he get the black crystal? He hurriedly asked, "How many precious and scarce treasures can there be? Merchants ventured across the continent. Isn't it a pity if they don't have a good exchange?"
Li Qing explained, "Don't worry about this. The businessman is very smart and has a lot of ways. They took a risk. First of all, they hope to exchange scarce spiritual crystals for natural materials and earth treasures. If this requirement does not meet their wishes, they will retreat secondly. They exchange scarce spiritual crystals for ordinary spiritual crystals, but the conditions are very high. For example, in Kunlun Prefecture, one black crystal needs to be exchanged for ten other spiritual crystals.
"One for ten!"
Guan Xiaoshan took a breath of cold breath. He remembered that someone said that when the profit reached 300 percent, people would sacrifice their lives to gamble. If the speaker knew that the profits of the four major businesses in the spiritual world were as high as 1,000 percent, he didn't know what to infer.
"Yes, change one for ten." Li Qing sighed with emotion and said, "Brother Xiaoshan doesn't know that there is a kind of monk called aristocratic monk in Kunlun Prefecture. This kind of monk is not from the aristocracy, but the five elements are not short of water. The cost of cultivation is very high. If this kind of monk wants to continue to practice, the price is several times that of the monks who lack water in the five elements. It's more expensive. For this reason, it is called an aristocratic monk.
After a pause, she raised her voice and said sadly, "Brother Xiaoshan, fortunately, my sister is not an aristocratic monk, otherwise she would have stopped practicing to become a god. For this reason, the girl has to cultivate into a god at all costs. Otherwise, she will be sorry for the lack of water in the five elements given by God. The girl has been working hard, and so far she has collected five or six hundred spiritual crystals. These spiritual crystals can allow girls to enter the Pre-God Training Institute to practice continuously for three years, but it is not enough to pay tuition fees and worship the gods. The girl originally wanted to wait for another two years, but now she has an opportunity. If Brother Xiaoshan is willing to help me, she can enter the Pre-God Training Institute on Life Day this year.
"Oh? What can I do for you?" Guan Xiaoshan's mind was still on the four major merchants, and he couldn't help but be stunned when he heard the words.
Li Qing said sadly, "The tuition fee of the Pre-God Research Institute and the worship of the god are generally indispensable, but there is a person in Kunlun City who can be exempted in one sentence. This person is the Elder Yun of Linchen Pavilion. For example, when I wait for these, I often take great pains to practice one or two spiritual crystals. The elders of Yunda are different, and they don't pay attention to the offering of tuition fees at all. Miss Yun will definitely call you over these two days. Miss Yun is the most loved by Elder Yun. If Brother Xiaoshan can ask her to help her say something and avoid the tuition and worship of her sister's entry into the Pre-God Research Institute, she will definitely get what she wants. Brother Xiaoshan, would you like to help me?
"Well--"
Guan Xiaoshan smiled and answered without hesitation, "No problem! Sister Qing, don't worry, as long as you can talk to Miss Yun, the first thing I said is about you.
