Chapter 160 Quanxian Embassy
"Sister, the barbecue is delicious, the grilled squid is fragrant, and the milk tea is delicious. I decided to stay in Chang'an City for a few more days. The disciples of the Taiyin Sect are very kind. They were afraid that I would not get used to the living here, so more than a dozen people dug a pool for me overnight, and transported sea water for me from Longshan Port via the teleportation array...
"Oh, by the way, Longshan Port is on the coast of Zhongzhou where I live. It's a new city built by the disciples of Taiyin Sect - but it hasn't been built yet!"
After eating and drinking to their heart's content and chatting till their throat was about to smoke, Coral, at the cordial invitation of a group of Taiyin Sect disciples, moved into a makeshift pool in an open space near the teleportation array - that place was not within the jurisdiction of Chang'an City, so there was no need to handle any strange things like land deeds for the time being.
The pool was dug by Zhao Qing and the other players. In order to prevent seawater from seeping in, they used small barriers to isolate the seawater at the bottom and around the pool, and enthusiastically arranged reefs, corals and various shells. A genius player with an unusual way of thinking even brought a bucket of sea fish that he had caught with great difficulty and poured it into the pool. Then, at Baili Shuang's dark-faced request, he caught the fish again and took it away with great difficulty.
The other players laughed at this in hindsight: "Don't you think about it? Could there be a bunch of rabbits and wild boars running around in your house? The 'houses' where the Quanxian people live definitely can't have these things!"
The player tried to defend himself: "I just believed the nonsense in the fairy tale movie..."
As one of the urban management personnel of Chang'an City, Zhao Qing also specifically stated that this land could be directly allocated to their Quanxian tribe, and they could build it according to their preferences and set up a special "embassy" in the future.
According to the disciples of Taiyin Sect, the full name of this "embassy" should be "Xiling Quanxian Consulate in Taiyin Sect Chang'an City" or "Xiling Quanxian Economic and Commercial Office in Taiyin Sect Chang'an City", and within the scope of this "embassy", everything will be based on the rules of the Quanxian clan, and even this place will be "given" to the Quanxian clan as "territory".
The Quanxian tribe certainly has the concept of "territory". Unlike the outsiders' imagination of dividing power by sea area, the Quanxian tribe actually divides the sphere of influence by "land", but this "land" refers to the land under the sea - after all, the sea water also relies on the seabed! There are more than a hundred clans in the Quanxian tribe, the big ones have more than 100,000 people, and the small ones have only dozens of people. For example, the Xiling clan where Shanhu is located is considered a relatively large clan, with more than 10,000 people.
However, the ocean is too big. The not-so-good territory occupied by Xiling clan is the sea area between the southern part of Zhongzhou and Tianyingzhou. In terms of the area of the seabed, it is much larger than the entire Zhongzhou! Not to mention accommodating more than 10,000 mermaids scattered among them, it is more than enough to accommodate millions or tens of millions of mermaids! The Quanxian tribe, with a vast "territory", certainly does not look down on the palm-sized place that Zhao Qing gave as a verbal agreement, but the meaning it represents is particularly different. The sincerity contained in it really makes Shanhu a little flattered! Shanhu is a person from Guixu Realm, and a member of the Quanxian tribe whose lifestyle and civilization are completely different from those of the human race. He neither understands the meaning of the "embassy" on Blue Star nor the necessity of doing so, but this does not mean that he has no political sensitivity.
Even in the information age, people on Blue Star still fight for material resources, not to mention the Guixu Realm, where the civilization is much less developed. It is not uncommon for sects or forces to form alliances with each other. The Guixu Realm is not peaceful, and there are wars everywhere, either fighting for spiritual mineral veins or seizing ancient gods' mansions and resource-rich small worlds.
And aren’t plans like the “consulate” just alliances in disguise?
In order to make Shanhu, who she thought was simple and easy to deceive, feel at ease to build and move into the "embassy", Zhao Qing not only explained the relevant contents of the "embassy" in detail, but also made unnecessary promises: "Not only the Quanxian tribe, this place will be expanded after our Chang'an City accumulates enough points, and then it will be specially set up as an embassy district. In addition to the Quanxian tribe, there are also human cultivators who will build embassies in this area, and even demon cultivators like Chiyuan Cave will come!"
Therefore, after saying goodbye to the disciples of Taiyin Sect, Shanhu immediately began to relay the message to her sister, who then contacted the patriarch of Xiling Clan.
As for why he didn't contact the Xiling clan leader directly...
Isn't it because the distance of spiritual sense communication is not enough? "Sister, there is another very important point. They seem to want to trade with us. They also said that they plan to set aside a place in Taiyin Sect for our Quanxian tribe, called something like 'Consulate'. They said that the place is the territory of the Quanxian tribe. We can send people to stay there and be responsible for participating in monitoring the 'fairness of the transaction' between the two parties!" Yin Shuang replied: "This is just for fun. When the two sides are at peace, it is a good thing. If the two sides tear each other apart, they will still use thunder magic to strike you!"
"But the Taiyin Sect is really friendly! I originally planned to exchange one Dou Hai Lingzhu for one hundred 'kitchen knives'. I have tried that kind of 'kitchen knives' and they are better than knives made of black iron! But they disagreed!"
"why is that?"
"They are actually afraid that I will suffer a loss! They said that a hundred kitchen knives can be exchanged for a few sea spirit beads in the market, and one bucket can be exchanged for a whole cart of kitchen knives!" Shanhu said, sighing: "They are so straightforward and simple! They are completely different from those cunning humans we have encountered before!"
"Du, Master Duo? How many Sea Spirit Pearls? One hundred!? One bucket of Sea Spirit Pearls can be exchanged for a whole cart!?" Yin Shuang was so shocked that she stuttered: "Then, then did you really get a whole cart of kitchen knives in exchange?"
"That's not the case, because they said that their Taiyin Sect is preparing a new currency... Ah, currency is a general term for spirit stones and spirit coins. In short, what they mean is that we can wait for half a month after the new currency is released before trading. At that time, we can directly sell the Sea Spirit Pearl in the 'Guan City' and use the money from the sale to exchange for what we need!
"Besides, I heard that many other sects and forces have come to this 'Guan City'! Even the demon tribe is here!"
Yin Shuang instinctively felt that something was wrong and asked, "What is this Taiyin Sect... didn't you say that most of the disciples there are only at the foundation-building stage? Why is there such a big fuss?"
"That's exactly what I wanted to say! Sister, do you know who is behind the Taiyin Sect?"
"Who is it?"
"It's the Queen Mother of the Moon!" Shanhu added excitedly, "It is said that their Taiyin Sect worships the Queen Mother of the Moon, several star gods, and the three immortals of happiness, wealth, and longevity..."
Yinshuang interrupted Shanhu with a firm voice: "Absolutely impossible!"
Coral was confused and asked, "Huh? Why is that?"
Yin Shuang's tone was filled with undisguised fear: "God of the Moon has long since fallen!"
