After coming out of the Ghost and God Department, Zhou Qing returned to Taibai’s place of residence.

They hadn't returned during the day, and only Bai Ruoyue was left behind.

"Junior brother, is everything done?"

Zhou Qing nodded, "Okay."

"Then let's go out for a walk." Bai Ruoyue said excitedly.

She likes to go to places where people gather, especially those where there are practitioners.

Zhou Qing did not refuse. As he had just arrived, he also wanted to see the prosperity of Zhongtian City.

"It just so happens that Aunt Mo told me about a few places worth visiting, so I'll go check them out today."

I just came back and went out again before I even had a sip of water.

During the time between Lu Qingmo's trip from Xuandu Temple to Heiyun Town, she stayed in Zhongtian City for a while. Although she was not very familiar with this place, she still knew some special places related to practitioners.

Zhongtian City is very large, and each area is divided into "fangs", with a total of 260 fangs.

According to Lu Qingmo, when she came here, the permanent population of Zhongtian City had exceeded eight million.

This is just the permanent residents. If the floating population is included, the number will be even higher.

It completely deserves the description of a surging crowd and a sea of ​​people.

Now, more than ten years have passed, and she has no idea how many people there are in Zhongtian City.

If it were placed in the ancient period of Zhou Qing's previous life, this number would undoubtedly be incredible and almost impossible to achieve.

Eight million people is too much of a burden for a city. I wonder how many Taoist methods are used in the city to keep it running normally.

Looking at the world, Zhongtian City is definitely not the most populous city, it is not even ranked.

The status of monks is slightly higher than that of warriors. Besides the reason that "scarcity makes things valuable", it is also because the former can do many things that the latter cannot.

It is true that in the early stages, cultivators are not as strong as warriors, but when it comes to things other than fighting, warriors are no different from "primitive people" in front of cultivators.

It is said that dynasties such as the Great Qi would set up an institution dedicated to studying some Taoist techniques that seemed useless in combat.

However, those Taoist techniques are very effective when used in city development and improving life.

Practitioners do look down upon ordinary people and ordinary beings, but it is certainly not the case that they do not care about them at all.

For any force, at least some people know what one of their foundations is.

It is those geniuses who are constantly born among the masses.

Even evil cultivators attach great importance to mortal lives.

Because this is a very important "resource".

The world of practitioners is beyond the mundane world, yet is inseparable from it.

The brilliant flower of spiritual practice blooms with the nutrients from the soil of this mundane world.

Taoism is the direct driving force that makes the mundane more brilliant and changes the entire world.

After walking out of the yard, everyone Zhou Qing and Bai Ruoyue met was in good spirits, which shows that although these people's daily lives are not superior, they are definitely guaranteed.

Well, of course this must be related to the fact that the yard Zhou Qing and his friends rented is located in Zhongtian City, with a good location and a good environment.

Just like when I went home for the Chinese New Year, the people I interviewed on the train were of course those who had bought tickets.

There were some snacks with tempting colors, and some gadgets that looked very delicate and unique, which even Zhou Qing, a time traveler, had never seen before.

Sure enough, the wisdom of the people is infinite.

Bai Ruoyue likes some small things very much.

If the senior sister likes it, what else can Zhou Qing say?

Buy! Money is something outside of one's body. If you don't spend it on the senior sister, who else can you spend it on?

Occasionally, you can see some shops selling things for spiritual practice on the streets, but Zhou Qing only went into one and lost interest.

The items in this small shop are too ordinary, and their target customers are only low-level practitioners.

When it comes to high-end places, they must be Wanxing Chamber of Commerce and Zhongtian Chamber of Commerce.

Wanxing Chamber of Commerce is located in Pingkangfang in the east, and Zhongtian Chamber of Commerce is located in Andingfang in the west. The two are located in the east and west, facing each other from afar.

The latter is a local chamber of commerce in Tianzhou, which is supported by some forces in Tianzhou.

Therefore, by leveraging the geographical advantage, we can sometimes compete with the Wanxing Chamber of Commerce.

Wanxing and Zhongtian are the two largest chambers of commerce in Tianzhou. Most common things can be found in these two chambers of commerce.

Zhou Qing and his family's courtyard was located on the east side of Zhongtian City, so while strolling around, they came to the Wanxing Chamber of Commerce.

The state-level Wanxing Chamber of Commerce is naturally more imposing than the one in Tianyue City. Compared with the surrounding buildings, it truly towers over the rest.

After Zhou Qing and his companion entered, someone immediately welcomed them and asked them if they needed any service, but their request was rejected.

"The people from Wanxing Chamber of Commerce are so nice." Bai Ruoyue whispered to Zhou Qing.

As the world's number one chamber of commerce, it has the support of the top ten strongest men in the world. It is a behemoth that is no less powerful than Xuandu Temple, but these people are not arrogant at all.

Even some people who were dressed simply and looked timid were welcomed with smiles when they came in.

Zhou Qing nodded, "Yes, the service attitude is impeccable."

No matter what the staff of Wanxing Chamber of Commerce think in their hearts, their surface attitude is at least very appropriate.

People’s hearts are hard to guess, so having an attitude is good enough.

Zhou Qing has seen many people selling high-end things in high-end places. They are obviously serving others, but their attitude is extremely bad and they speak badly to people who come to buy things.

It seems like he has become more high-end because of selling that thing.

After seeing so many valuable items, he also started to think they were "valuable", but he didn't understand that the customers came to buy those valuable items.

No matter how "valuable" he is, he can only be traded.

The people from Wanxing Chamber of Commerce have undoubtedly done a very good job.

In terms of strength, the Wanxing Chamber of Commerce can be said to be among the top ten in the world. It is not easy for them to maintain such an external atmosphere.

There were quite a few people on the first floor of the Chamber of Commerce. I wasn’t sure whether they were buying or not, but there were a lot of people looking at things.

The Buzzing Stone has been placed in Zhou Qing's arms. What if he encounters another treasure that has been covered in dust?

Bai Ruoyue was obviously also looking forward to Zhou Qing's "intuition".

However, the sensing ability of this strange object is also limited, and not all self-concealing treasures can sense it.

For example, when he first obtained the Holy Spirit Liquid at the Shui Yuan Festival, he discovered it with a God's perspective, and when he encountered the Bao Om Om Stone, there was no reaction at that time.

But unfortunately, Zhou Qing searched the first and second floors of Wanxing Chamber of Commerce again, but there was no reaction when he encountered gems.

Although the things displayed on these two floors were of high quality, including those at the Internal Organ Realm and even the Bone Refining Realm, there was nothing he needed.

As for the third floor and even higher floors...

Zhou Qing and Bai Ruoyue couldn't go up.

There are treasures for the Bone Refining Day Tour on the second floor, so you can imagine its level.

In the eyes of most people in the provincial capital, Zhou Qing and Bai Ruoyue were too unfamiliar and were not recognized at all. The service staff of Wanxing Chamber of Commerce were among them, so naturally they would not let them go up.

Not to mention the Wanxing Chamber of Commerce, even if Zhou Qing went to the Dong family in the provincial capital now, not many people would know him.

But when he was about to leave Wanxing Chamber of Commerce, the conversation between the people around him caught Zhou Qing's attention.

"I heard that there will be another Ten Thousand Stars Trade Fair soon?"

"No way. Didn't we just hold a trade fair last year? The interval is too short. Wanxing Chamber of Commerce doesn't have such a habit. Who told you that?"

"My grandfather's cousin's daughter-in-law... will be having a martial arts school rating soon. It seems like this was specially held for this martial arts school rating."

"That is indeed possible. After all, the martial arts school rating is a grand event that takes place once every ten years. In this case, the scale of this Ten Thousand Stars Trade Fair will probably be very large."

“I wonder if a new Heaven-level martial arts gym will appear this time.”

"How is that possible? If there really is a Heaven-level martial arts gym, the information would have been announced long ago. Why wait until now?"

"Too……"

Zhou Qing and Bai Ruoyue looked at each other and kept the news in mind.

After leaving the Chamber of Commerce, Bai Ruoyue said, "The Ten Thousand Stars Trade Fair, I think we participated in it once in the County City?"

Please...collect 6_9_book_bar (Six//Nine//Book//bar)

"Yes, we got two treasures that time, so it can be considered a gain." Zhou Qing nodded.

Not only did he get two treasures, but one of them was a lucky find, found inside a stone.

"If there really is a trade fair held specifically for the rating of martial arts schools, I'm afraid there will be many precious treasures."

"I really want to go and have a look." Bai Ruoyue was somewhat interested.

Zhou Qing was helpless, "The Wanxing Trade Fair is invitation-only. You can't get in without an invitation."

But if he really wants to go, he has a way.

Although he does not have the city-wide reputation like he does in Black Cloud Town, only a few people know him.

But for those few people who knew him alone, it would be no problem for them to get an invitation to the Wanxing Chamber of Commerce.

They had been out for quite some time, so the two of them didn't go anywhere else but returned to their residence.

Everyone else has returned, including Bai Tian and Zhang Yuantao who went to the government to register.

Moreover, Zhou Qing and the other person also received a piece of news from Bai Tian that left them at a loss for words.

"Dad, are you saying that you got invitations to the Wanxing Trade Fair and the Zhongtian Joint Trade Fair?"

Bai Tian nodded, "Yes."

"After I successfully registered, someone from the state government gave me these two invitations."

"I heard from people in the provincial government that two chambers of commerce asked them for help. They will send an invitation to any martial arts gym that has True Blood Realm warriors who want to sign up."

The True Blood Realm does have such capital.

But these two chambers of commerce are really smart.

Bai Ruoyue asked doubtfully: "I know about the Wanxing Trade Fair, but what is this Zhongtian United Trade Fair?"

"The two are similar in nature, except that the Zhongtian Joint Trade Fair is led by the Zhongtian Chamber of Commerce and co-organized by several chambers of commerce in Zhongtian City."

Bai Tian said: "The Zhongtian Joint Trade Fair will be held the night after tomorrow, and the Wanxing Trade Fair will be held a day later."

"One in front and one behind, the competition between these two is really fierce." Zhou Qing sighed.

"The trade fairs are held at about the same time, and this is aimed at everyone's wallets."

Taking advantage of the coming of the martial arts school rating, various treasures are displayed to attract practitioners from all directions.

What, you are afraid that you won’t be able to perform well in the martial arts school rating?

Recommend buying things from my house.

What, you think you need to improve your strength? Then I suggest you buy my stuff.

What, you think you are already strong enough? I still recommend you to buy my stuff.

Before the martial arts school rating begins, as long as you display some treasures that can help enhance your strength, they will be more marketable and easier to compete for than usual. You can undoubtedly earn more and make your chamber of commerce more famous.

If we wait until the martial arts schools are rated before holding the trade fair, we will miss the best opportunity.

After all, the winners are only a minority. Who among the losers would have the mood to spend money?

Zhang Yuantao said: "It seems that the time of the Wanxing Trade Fair was set first, and then the Zhongtian United Trade Fair was scheduled for the day before."

From this point, it can be seen that the Zhongtian Chamber of Commerce is indeed very afraid of the Wanxing Chamber of Commerce, otherwise there would be no need to take such action.

If he is confident enough, he can be the first to announce the time of the trade fair.

In front of the Wanxing Trade Fair, there may not be any intention to give in.

If it was after the Wanxing Trade Fair, everyone would have bought what they wanted and he would have no chance.

If the Zhongtian Chamber of Commerce had more confidence, it could hold a trade fair at the same time as the Wanxing Chamber of Commerce, forcing all practitioners to choose between the two.

"You can go take a look then." Bai Tian said, "Maybe you can find something useful for you."

"In that case, it's a good thing we left early, otherwise we would have missed these two trade fairs."

Bai Ruoyue patted Zhou Qing on the shoulder and said, "You did a good job, Junior Brother."

If Zhou Qing didn't need to forge weapons, the Taibai people would still be in Heiyun Town and would wait until the days leading up to the rating before setting off.

"But Dad, the treasures at this trade fair are probably worth a lot. Do you have the money?"

Facing his daughter's suspicious gaze, Bai Tian was calm.

"You won't starve."

Zhou Qing didn't know whether Bai Tian had money or not, but judging from the great opportunity he had when he was young to obtain Mi Wu, he might have a lot of good things on him.

Zhou Qing is now just thankful that Aunt Mo gave me her supplementary gold card. Fortunately, many kind-hearted people have "sponsored" me in the past, so I still have some assets.

Zhang Yuantao said: "I heard that some people from the Aurora Martial Arts School have also come to Zhongtian City."

This was the information he found out when he went out with Bai Tian, ​​and it was also the reason why Bai Tian chose to take him to sign up.

Compared with others, Zhang Yuantao is indeed more suitable for handling various affairs.

"Aurora Martial Arts School?" Zhou Qing thought for a moment and said, "It seems that the rating of martial arts schools has nothing to do with the Heaven-level martial arts schools, right?"

As long as there are warriors at the Earth Level, the reputation of the Heaven Level Martial Arts School will not be lost no matter what changes occur.

Even if a warrior who has reached the Earth Level in the hall passes away or dies in an accident, the title of Heaven Level will be retained for a period of time to show respect for the warrior who has reached the Earth Level.

The martial arts school ratings have no effect on them.

"They don't need to be rated, but they still have to send a few people to the scene." Bai Tian said, "Perhaps the disciples of the three heavenly martial arts schools will become your opponents."

There are three Tian-level martial arts schools in Tianzhou, two of which are located in Zhongtian City, and the third one is located in Tianwang County, which is the Aurora Martial Arts School mentioned earlier.

That is the county where the Dishi Sect, which had a grudge with Zhou Qing, was located.

Disciples from these three martial arts schools had appeared in Heiyun Town before.

In the whole Tianzhou, when comparing the different types of forces such as sects, aristocratic families, and martial arts schools, the power of aristocratic families is relatively weak, while the sects are the strongest.

However, even if they are disciples of a heavenly-level martial arts school, Zhou Qing will not look down on them, but he will not be afraid of them either.

You should ask them if they are afraid of me!
