Although this baby-faced man kindly reminded her at first and acted harmless, Gu Qingxi, who had experienced the end of the world, knew that human nature was sinister. Sometimes, the most harmless things on the surface are the most deadly.
When food was scarce in the end of the world, some adults set traps with their children. The children of several years old cried and begged passers-by for help, and the next moment they could lead people into the trap without changing their expressions, watching their parents kill people like pigs, rob supplies, and then eat people with their parents with normal expressions.
Therefore, Gu Qingxi smiled and chatted with this casual cultivator named Xia Tian on the surface, but she did not trust this cultivator at all in her heart. Let's get in touch with him first and observe him.
Xia Tian is a very talkative and familiar cultivator. He talked nonstop when he talked to Gu Qingxi. To be precise, he was talking most of the time and Gu Qingxi was listening.
However, because of this, Gu Qingxi learned a lot of information that she didn't know before.
"Miss Gu, let me tell you, there are many scammers in Haiyan City, who specialize in deceiving those cultivators who have just arrived and have low cultivation. However, they will also choose to deceive people. They dare not deceive those disciples who are obviously from large sects. They are afraid that the senior brothers and elders behind the disciples will come to their door and beat them up.
One of the most common scams is to use ordinary pearls to deceive cultivators, saying that they are condensed from the tears of mermaids and are worth a lot of money. They will especially deceive female cultivators like you who are new and love beauty.
Don't believe such words. If you want to buy pearls, go to Wanbaolou opened by Tianxia Chamber of Commerce. Tianxia Chamber of Commerce has cooperated with the Mermaid King, and Wanbaolou in Haiyan City is Tianxia Chamber of Commerce. It will be opened in cooperation with the Mermaid King. It is a first-hand source of goods, absolutely genuine.
Mermaid tears can indeed condense into beads, but not all mermaids can condense their tears into beads.
Because the beads condensed from mermaid tears are their life force, which will consume their spiritual power and essence. Mermaids will not easily condense beads with tears, which will be a loss to them.
Mermaids without talent cannot condense their tears into beads. This thing is rare and precious, how can it be sold casually on the street? "
Gu Qingxi listened with relish, regardless of whether Xia Tian was a good person or had intentions towards her, but what he said now was really interesting.
If this person really wanted to hit her, she would not be afraid. If he really did it, she would teach this person what it meant to be so red.
But it was also interesting to know something from this person now.
So Gu Qingxi didn't mind being a little generous and took out the spiritual fruit for Xia Tian to eat.
"This is juicy and sweet without being greasy. Try it." Gu Qingxi took out a spiritual fruit and handed it to Xia Tian.
"Thank you." Xia Tian took it with a smile on his face and took a bite. It was indeed sweet and juicy and thirst-quenching.
Then Gu Qingxi opened her eyes wide and continued to wait for Xia Tian to speak.
Seeing that Gu Qingxi was so supportive, Xia Tian continued to talk:
"Then there is mermaid silk. Clothes made of mermaid silk are very smooth and do not absorb water. They are a special kind of fabric. This thing is also divided into quality and grade.
If you want to buy robes made of mermaid silk, it is safer to go to Wanbao Tower. The quality of those sold to you on the roadside cannot be guaranteed. Although it is cheaper than Wanbao Tower, you have to gamble on your luck. If you are unlucky and buy mermaid silk of poor quality, there is nothing you can do.
In Haiyan City, most of the mermaids living there are black-tailed. Among these mermaids, most of them cannot practice. But this Some ordinary mermaids are much stronger than ordinary humans, and their age is more than ten times that of ordinary humans.
If someone sells you a round blue or green gem that glows at night, don't buy it.
It's the eyeball of a mermaid. Some mermaids' eyes were dug out and simply processed after death to make such gems. It's hard to say where some eyeballs came from.
The Mermaid Country strictly prohibits the sale of mermaid eyeballs. If you don't want to get into trouble, don't buy this kind of thing. "
Gu Qingxi nodded, indicating that he had taken note.
"The food in the Mermaid Kingdom is very good and contains plenty of spiritual energy. You can go and have a taste.
If you want to make money, you can also take on missions and help the Mermaids kill sea beasts.
Every ten years, there will be a tide of sea beasts in Haiyan City, and all the Mermaids in the city will participate in the battle. Because every tide of sea beasts brings considerable losses to Haiyan City, the Mermaid King has issued a bounty mission. Anyone who kills a sea beast can go to the mission hall to claim the bounty.
The reward will be determined based on the level of the sea beast. With
your cultivation level, you can hunt some low-level sea beasts in the sea not far away. Don't go to the deep sea, because you don't know who will hunt whom if you go there."
Gu Qingxi nodded again and thanked him.
He took out the snacks that he had exchanged with Xu Baozhu and gave a few bags to Xia Tian.
Xia Tian took them with a smile and ate them slowly. While eating, he praised: "These taste good, and they all retain the original spiritual energy of the food. Although not much, they do have some."
"My friend gave them to me." Gu Qingxi said with a smile.
Xia Tian seemed to be tired too. After eating, he closed his eyes and meditated.
The speed of the spiritual boat was not slow. The huge ship flew fast and steadily. It set off in the morning and arrived at Haiyan City in the evening.
After getting off the spiritual boat, Xia Tian waved goodbye to Gu Qingxi: "Goodbye, Miss Gu. See you again if we are lucky. If you are looking for a place to stay, it is safer to find an inn run by the Tianxia Chamber of Commerce. It is easy to recognize. The one with a huge gold ingot is run by his family."
"Thank you." Gu Qingxi smiled and waved goodbye to Xia Tian.
Gu Qingxi walked around Haiyan City. There is no curfew in Haiyan City like in human cities. It is evening now, but the "lights" in the city are all on, illuminating the entire Haiyan City like daylight.
Gu Qingxi carefully observed the "lights" in the city. The strings of lights on the wall are not lanterns in the mortal world, but pieces of white minerals that emit crystal light. These minerals were polished into a round shape and strung together.
This kind of spherical mineral is hung under the eaves of every household. There are many street lamps made of thin stone pillars on the roadside, and many such shiny minerals are hung on them, so the whole city is illuminated.
There are still many pedestrians on the street at this moment. Humans and mermaids are easy to distinguish. Because of the difference in ears. Humans have round flesh-colored ears, while mermaids have ears that are a bit gill-shaped.
Gu Qingxi walked on the street and looked around. The lower part of this city is indeed built in water.
Many streets are waterways. Walking on the streets on both sides of the waterway and looking underwater, you can clearly see the appearance of the streets below. It is exactly the same as the streets above, as if it is a projection of the streets above, but it is real.
There are many mermaids swimming around in the streets below in the water.
