Chapter 199: Anti-robbery Duo (bug hunting) In order to 'anti-robbery'...
Chapter 199: Anti-Robbery Duo (Catching Bugs)
Yan Jiuru happily counted the spoils, glanced into the distance and smiled.
He is not the only one who is robbing his fellow thieves.
It seems there are a lot of smart people.
Just like the fellow Taoist he saw in his spiritual consciousness.
Unlike his low-key robes, the other person exuded the aura of a nouveau riche:
He was wearing a high-grade robe that shone with precious light, and the crown on his head was also a top-grade defensive magic weapon. He had a storage belt wrapped around his waist, and just by looking at his appearance, you could tell that the storage space was quite large. He was also wearing flying cloud shoes, and on all ten of his fingers were high-grade storage rings...
He is a walking robber summoner.
Seeing this, Yan Jiuru felt that he would be letting himself down if he didn't rob.
Of course, he also knew that the other party must have dressed like this on purpose in order to trick those impatient "robbers".
Then you can start to rob the thieves.
The man obviously noticed him too.
However, the other party was obviously very cautious and did not intend to steal business from him. He took the initiative to move his route outward, more than a mile away from him.
Yan Jiuru didn't have this idea either. He is a party member now, so he still has this bottom line.
He sent a message to the other party: "This fellow Taoist will be rich!"
The other party was startled when he heard the voice transmission, then he bowed in the direction of the voice and said, "It's just so-so, not as good as you."
"Hmm."
Yan Jiuru didn't say anything more about this topic, otherwise it seemed like he was interested in other people's storage belts.
He said, "I have some things here that I don't need. Could I ask you for some advice?"
The other party was obviously startled and laughed dryly, saying, "You are too polite, fellow Daoist. It's not that I don't want to make adjustments, but there is an underground market in Peicheng, about 300 miles ahead. Everyone goes there to make adjustments, and the selection there is much better than what you can do individually.
When you enter the city, just ask any guide boy. "
Yan Jiuru didn't want to scare him anymore, so he snorted and flew forward.
It was a long time after his figure disappeared that the other party cautiously changed his route and continued his "anti-robbery" business.
***
The information and model of the "space-based laser weapon platform" hidden on him must be handed over to the country as soon as possible. He can't make a fortune here for too long.
The reason why he didn't immediately rush to meet up with Minister Huang and the others but came to the underwater world was, firstly, to get some spirit stones and necessary elixirs, spirit materials and other consumables, and more importantly, to avoid attracting excessive attention.
He speculated that once the Little Japan Country discovered that the monkey's efforts had been in vain and that two members had been lost in vain, they would definitely conduct a detailed investigation into the situation.
At that time, he was killing pirates near the Emerald Island and had also destroyed the lair of the "Shark Gang". Anyone would have suspected him first.
Although there were other pirate forces in that sea area, and it even seemed that there was an internal conflict on the Bloody Baron's ship, he was carrying important weapons and did not want to take any risks.
He first cleaned out the pirates openly, so it was reasonable for him to pick up the leftovers at the end.
If they were still fighting the pirates bravely in the front, but were not tempted and did not take action in the face of such a big leak, it would make people feel that there was something wrong.
No matter what, slow things down and he needs to make his actions more in line with his identity as the island owner.
Therefore, he told the deputy team leader and others to find someone to sell the newly captured spoils, which freed up two days.
Otherwise, there was news that the information of the "space-based laser weapon platform" was lost, and he was worried and ran away in a hurry at this time, haha.
Guess what?
However, if the Crystal Palace Market is too far away, you might as well go to the underground market in Peicheng.
Three hundred miles was really just a matter of taking a deep breath for Yan Jiuru, who was blessed with dragon scales, but for the sake of his "anti-robbery" mission, he still insisted on traveling slowly.
He didn't care about this little bit of spirit stones. His main purpose was to uphold justice for the weak!
Yes, that's it!
But even if you are slow, there will be a time when the road will end.
More than an hour later, Yan Jiuru was still standing in front of a tall and magnificent city gate.
The thick city wall was built of dark grey aquatic jade, and in front of the wide gate, there was a team of shrimp soldiers and crab generals on each side, holding weapons, with their bellies puffed out and chests puffed out, standing guard on duty.
Seeing the newcomer, he called out, "Those entering the city for the first time, come and get a token. Each token costs 5 spirit stones and allows you to enter and leave the city freely for a month. If you stay longer than a month, you need to renew the token."
It costs a lot of money to pay 5 spirit stones to enter the city.
Generally, people who practice cultivation in small places have pockets that are cleaner than their faces. They don’t know how to get even one or two, let alone five spirit stones. Otherwise, why would so many people rob them?
Yan Jiuru naturally had to go into the city to find the underground market. He threw five spirit stones to the registered lobster man and asked, "Why are there more than other places? What's the explanation?"
Seeing that he couldn't see through his cultivation, the lobster man didn't dare to offend him. While several hands were busy processing the token for him, he explained in a gentle voice: "Senior, please understand. We in Peicheng do have a reason for collecting 5 spirit stones.
The main reason is that there are abundant resources outside our city. As long as you are not lazy, you can earn one or two spirit stones by simply going out to collect water plants and spiritual plants for a day. If you don’t have spirit stones, you can use materials to replace them.”
I see.
"Senior, please take your token. Show it when you stay at a hotel or set up a stall to trade. You can waive the stall fee for the first three days."
"Hmm." Sounds good.
Yan Jiuru took the token and said, "Give me a map of Peicheng."
"Chenghui, three spirit stones."
After Yan Jiuru paid the spirit stone, he threw another one to him and asked in a low voice, "I heard there's an underground market here?"
The lobster man quickly pressed down the spirit stone, the tentacles on his head moved, and one hand quickly put it into his pocket when no one was paying attention.
His protruding little eyes moved around, and he lowered his voice and said, "Senior, I think you heard it from someone?
There are indeed underground markets.
However, since you believe in me, I will tell you straight out that those boys soliciting customers in the underground market are all robbing others, and they may not be able to walk away unscathed after the transaction.
Seniors can go to the Tianshui Pavilion's Adjustment Market. Although there is an entrance fee, it is safe and secure."
As he spoke, he quickly wrote a small note and handed it to Yan Jiuru, "My uncle is a small manager at Tianshui Pavilion. If nothing else, there will be no trouble with the transfer."
***
The cities in Water World are very big.
The city of Guangpei is equivalent to five Yan cities and even more extensive. If the water areas outside the city are included, it will be even larger.
Yan Jiuru strolled along the street and saw all kinds of cultivators or water creatures enthusiastically walking through the shops on both sides of the street or lingering at the stalls outside.
Yan Jiuru took a few glances and found that most of them were low-level spiritual plants or spiritual objects, and occasionally there were relics pretending to be from a certain underwater cave, waiting for people to "pick up the bargains".
Some are even smarter and deliberately mix one real thing among a pile of fakes.
In just this short while, two or three groups of people had gathered around in order to "take advantage of the bargain".
Yan Jiuru sneered twice, you fooled me, I fooled you, both of us just thought we could take advantage.
He turned and walked into Tianshui Pavilion.
Tianshui Pavilion is known as the Water World chain store, with outlets distributed in every city.
This place has six floors. Yan Jiuru took a few glances and thought that if the so-called treasure of the store on the sixth floor was placed in his storage space, it would not even be worthy of being thrown into the corner and gathering dust.
However, the pills here are very good.
The items in his storage space are of too high a level and cannot be used by his current body. Instead, those below the Nascent Soul stage are more suitable for him now.
However, items of this level would never have appeared in his storage space in the past, making them useless to him now.
It just so happens that I came across a store like this where I can restock my stock.
Moreover, not only he can use it, but also the old Taoist priests in Xuan Country can use it.
He thought of fellow Daoist Li and Bai Luopan and the others who had helped him put out the fire, so he took out the note and looked for Long Xia's uncle.
The waiter glanced at the note and asked him to wait. Soon, a lobster man with wavy clothes came over and said, "Manager Ao, this senior is looking for you."
Manager Ao looked at Yan Jiuru, crossed his two large claws and said, "But is this senior looking for someone?"
Yan Jiuru put his hands behind his back and nodded, "When I entered the city, I asked the staff some small questions..."
The other party understood without him saying anything more.
Obviously, this is not the first or second time the other party has done this.
Manager Ao immediately said enthusiastically, "So it was Xiaoliu who introduced you. I was wondering if you looked unfamiliar. This guy is always honest and kind. I will definitely take good care of anyone he is willing to introduce. Please come this way~"
***
Half an hour later.
Yan Jiuru left Tianshui Pavilion with the "adjusted" spirit stones, elixirs for repairing Dantian and Qi channels, and various spiritual materials.
He couldn't help but sigh. After all, it was a chain store. Even if the supplies were not of that high quality, they were abundant, allowing him to replenish several storage bags of supplies.
Fortunately, the broken magic weapons among the spoils were still worth some money, otherwise he would have to use the spirit stones he got from the counter-robbery, which would not be cost-effective.
What he didn't expect was that Tianshui Pavilion also accepted those earthly gems, and the price was even higher than gold.
According to Manager Ao, many royal nobles in the mortal world close to the world of immortal cultivation like this kind of things. Tianshui Pavilion also has a shop in the mortal world, and such high-quality gems are also easy to sell.
The gems were exchanged for elixirs, talismans, formation plates and so on, but he did not touch the gold, as it was of great use to the country.
The reason why we didn't change to cheaper spiritual materials is because the alchemy techniques of Xuan Country have been lost. It is still unclear whether the current Taoists can practice it. Besides, the quality of the finished pills will definitely not catch up with those here.
In this case, it would be better to just change the pills directly and save trouble.
After Yan Jiuru completed the transfer, he went to other stores and browsed around, and followed Taobao on the stalls.
You know what, I actually found some good ingredients and will make something for my kids and wife.
When I think of Chen Yin, I naturally worry about her being pregnant with twins.
Why did I forget to buy some suitable gifts for these three girls?
Yan Jiuru looked up and saw a shop selling spirit pets. He turned around and walked in.
This is the bad thing about having many children. If you buy something for one and not for the other, they will definitely make a fuss. It’s better to buy a spiritual pet and raise it together so that no one is partial to anyone.
"Please feel free to look around, seniors. The spirit pets in our shop are all carefully selected. They are absolutely healthy and none of them are particularly fierce. Some of them have a little personality but they are absolutely loyal after recognizing their masters." The maid in the shop introduced the business very enthusiastically.
Yan Jiuru waved his hand and looked around.
The spiritual pets sold here are mainly sold to women, commonly known as fairies. Occasionally, men come to buy them with fairies.
Yan Jiuru didn't care about other people's opinions. He saw a 'Lingbao cat' at first glance.
This Lingbao cat is a bit like the tabby cat of Xuan State, but the civet cat is much more beautiful. Moreover, this little guy has a special feature. They are born with their own "storage bag" to hide the food they find.
Because they are picky about food, anything they hide in their storage bags must be high-quality spiritual materials or spiritual stones that are particularly rich in spiritual energy, so they are also called Lingbao cats.
Yan Jiuru touched the little fellow with his spiritual sense, and the cat immediately puckered up its ears alertly, but it was obviously under the pressure of his cultivation level and did not dare to bare its teeth at him.
"A little self-aware."
"How many spirit stones?" Yan Jiuru teased and decided to buy it.
Men don’t talk too much when buying things.
When Yan Jiuru came out of the spirit pet shop, there was a ball of dark gray long hair on his shoulder.
"I've packed my things. If you need anything, tell me right away. I won't be able to come back for more in a short time. We live in the mortal realm, so it's not easy for us to come here."
