Chapter 38 We are a team!
"My friend, Liang Haishun, has met Su Xiaoyou."
Guo Qiaolian, who had just been sent away, now has an old and shabby Liang Haishun.
This man looked very old, but he was able to control the wind. His golden robes rustled in the wind, and he had an air of immortality.
Su Qing did not dare to neglect this long-famous first-order formation mage, and quickly returned the favor and treated him politely.
This was Liang Haishun's first time dealing with Su Qing. There had been no outstanding puppet masters in Baiyunfang City before.
And since Shopkeeper Liu put Su Qing together with them, he must have certain attainments in puppetry.
As an old man in the city, Liang Haishun still doesn't mind dealing with these rising stars and building a good relationship.
And Su Qing didn't mind having a friendship with a formation master. Unlike Zhang Hai, who was a dabbler, this one had been recruited by the Yunshan Sect for his formation attainments.
Both of them were interested in getting to know each other, and after a few words, their relationship became warm.
Liang Haishun was told by Su Qing: In Baiyunfang City, the one who carries the flag with the formation is none other than Taoist friends. He stroked his beard and squinted his eyes happily, and was in a good mood.
His eyes swept across the puppets in front and behind Su Qing, and he smiled and said:
"I have seen cautious people, but I have never seen fellow Taoist Su be so cautious. It would take a lot of money to release so many puppets.
In fact, fellow Taoist, you don't have to be like this. The war cultivators sent by Baibao Pavilion to escort this time are all elites. As long as they are not facing foundation-building overhauls or second-level monsters, this trip will be safe."
Among the professionals hired by Baibao Pavilion, , Su Qing also knew that he was too nervous. Didn't he see that the weapon refiner He Lianxian was about to fall asleep on the magic weapon?
Hey! The weapon refiner can make money. Where he is sitting is a first-grade high-grade magic weapon, a light-tracing mat, and there are a bunch of spiritual crystals flying with him!
Although I know that my behavior is somewhat out of place.
But Su Qing was not prepared to take the puppet back. If he didn't want to know more about this team, he would even be ready to hide in Xiong Er's hiding hole.
This team is indeed an elite team. Even professionals like them are all talents. If they really want to fight, their role may not be smaller than that of those war cultivators.
But the stronger the team, the less courageous he becomes.
Shopkeeper Liu then said that he would send someone to escort him to the hunting area to train his legs.
But does leg training require such a big battle?
Just pulling out such a team, the so-called four major forces in the hunting area are not enough to look at together.
In Su Qing's view, these war cultivators were said to protect them and serve them, but based on the team configuration, he felt that these professionals were here to serve the war cultivators.
There are weapon refiners who can repair magic weapons.
A spiritual doctor who is always available to save people and heal their wounds.
The formation master who arranges formations.
A flute musician who can play music and add various effects.
·····
These professionals, plus war cultivators, say they are going to the hunting area to do business, but in fact they are more like a fully equipped team!
At least, in Su Qing's opinion, the few spiritual crystals they earned from the monks in the hunting area might not even be enough to pay for the escort of these war monks.
Only by forming a team to hunt more valuable prey can we explain why this team is of such a size!
And what kind of monster would such a team deal with?
The first-order ultimate demon king?
Or even a second-order monster?
No matter what it is, Su Qing feels that it is still necessary to be steady.
And he could see it, how could an old man like Liang Haishun not be able to see it.
Seeing that he just shook his head and said nothing, Liang Haishun nodded clearly and said,
"Did you see that fellow Taoist Liu Sanquan was uneasy and kind-hearted?
That slick man was afraid that I wouldn't dare to come when we knew the situation. In fact, except for my little friend and fellow Taoist Guo In addition to a few new Taoist friends, I, Helian Xian and other old people already knew what he was going to do.
Forget about Ma Tuan leading the team, even Qing He was released. He is here for three months this time I'm preparing for the next auction, I guess I want to hunt a second-level monster and get a demon pill to support the Baibao Pavilion!"
Liang Haishun seemed to understand shopkeeper Liu's intentions very well and was very confident in his judgment. Su Qing was stunned: "The auction? Is it the Baiyun Auction organized by the Yunshan Sect, where the major merchants in the city show their strength?" "
Huh, it's just a way for the Yunshan Sect to exploit the major merchants. One day every three years It will be done every ten years, and the major merchants will lose money and make a profit, and we casual cultivators will not be able to take advantage.
On the other hand, the Yunshan Sect charges commissions and earns spiritual crystals in vain."
Liang Haishun snorted coldly, regarding the Yunshan Sect's Extremely dissatisfied with the work.
In addition to the numerous taxes and fees in the markets controlled by this sect, there are also continuous activities such as organizing auctions and exploiting merchants and casual cultivators.
Su Qing also smiled bitterly and shook his head. When he first came to Baiyunfang City, he had seen an auction. At that time, he was not qualified to go inside to watch it. He just set up a stall outside to take advantage of the large flow of people and make more money than before. A few spiritual crystals.
In the past few years, he has been busy, but he did not expect that in the blink of an eye, several years have passed, and this auction is about to be held.
This time, it is an auction held once every ten years, and the scale is expected to be even larger than the last time.
According to the rules, the merchants in the central area must produce enough items to satisfy the Yunshan Sect, and thus determine the location of their respective stores in the central area and the taxes and fees they will bear in the next ten years.
"If that's the case, it's no wonder that shopkeeper Liu wants to pay attention to the second-level monsters. The second-level beast elixir has the same significance for physical cultivation as the foundation-building elixir. If you
get a second-level beast elixir, you can Preserve Baibao Pavilion's current position in the central area."
Su Qing nodded and said, it is enough to know the goal of this team. Although this goal is difficult to deal with, at least I have confidence in my heart, which makes me feel more at ease than when I think about it. .
"One is not enough. In the auction ten years ago, Baibao Pavilion only managed to get through with two foundation-building pills and a few second-level magic weapon puppets!
This time, the Yunshan Sect fought one after another, and the opponent The major markets are exploiting more heavily. Baibao Pavilion should at least come up with more things than last time!"
Liang Haishun stroked his beard and pointed at Helian Xian, who lowered his eyes and fell asleep and said,
"So, if I wait, People like this can just set up a stall if they have nothing to do, but don't open a shop in the central area. You think you can make more money by opening a shop, but in fact, most of it goes to the Yunshan Sect.
Look at this old man Helian, he is so A small shop can't even afford a waiter. For this auction, he must at least bring out a first-class high-grade magic weapon. It is estimated that the spiritual crystal he will get is only one-third of what he sold to others!"
Liang Haishun There was a bit of pride on his face. He was so smart. He would set up a stall when he was happy. If he wasn't happy, he wouldn't do business when others came to him. He could just be a casual cultivator freely, and that's all he wanted to do!
Su Qing had no intention of opening a store. His temperament meant that he was always ready to run away and open some kind of store.
But sometimes when I go to the central area and see the endless flow of customers in various shops, I actually feel a little envious.
But now, after learning that even multinational stores like Baibao Pavilion have to keep their heads down and accept the consequences when they come to Baiyunfang City to do business, they are even less interested in opening a store.
The two chatted for a while, during which Guo Qiaolian, who had fed the white-tusked elephant, and professionals such as Ding Ping, a flute musician with a beautiful face and good looks, also joined in the chat.
After some discussion, everyone felt that with the current configuration, there was not much risk in hunting down a second-level monster.
Now that everyone is here, just keep walking. When you get to the hunting area, you can first use these war cultivators to support the scene and earn a lot of spiritual crystals from the casual cultivators.
Because they had the same stance and were all capable, everyone had a great time chatting with each other. They all had a deeper understanding of each other and initially established a friendship.
Su Qing said "senior" to the left, "fellow Taoist" again, and said that his mouth was dry. Fortunately, the harvest was not bad, at least he got into the upper circle of casual cultivators in Baiyunfang City.
By this time, it was getting dark, and the team had arrived at Lingtian District in Fang City.
Outside Lingtian District, an old monk who had long been in contact with Baibao Pavilion led the way and led everyone to temporarily stay in a village.
Haojia Village.
It's not far from Gejiacun, but only five or six miles away.
This group of people will stay in this village for one night, and then completely leave the protection area of Fangshi, entering the private fields cultivated by the Lingzhi farmers outside Fangshi, and then the hunting areas in the barren mountains and rivers.
Because the team would not pass through Gejia Village, Su Qing planned to make a separate trip to Gejia Village to hand over the goods and payment before setting off early tomorrow morning.
