Chapter 240: What are you pretending for?
"Two bottles of insect repellent, the most expensive."
Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou came to the Zhenyaoguan branch of the Jinqian Chamber of Commerce to purchase the necessary supplies.
Zhenyao Pass is one of the largest cities in the frontier. Every day, a huge amount of items related to monsters are sold and transported to various parts of the central continent to meet the needs of people in different realms. The flow of spirit stones is astonishing.
Insect repellent is a specialty of the bordering area. It is a special spiritual liquid formulated to target the mosquitoes that are hard to guard against in the dense forest. When applied to the body, it produces a special smell that only mosquitoes can smell, making them stay away and dare not approach the monks.
In this way, there will be no leeches crawling on your body.
"Do you have a lot of insect repellent in stock?" Meng Jingzhou suddenly thought of a question.
The waiter was slightly stunned, not understanding what Meng Jingzhou meant, and asked politely, "Excuse me, sir, how much insect repellent would you like?"
"Probably enough to drive all the mosquitoes out of the jungle."
Even the well-trained waiter couldn't help but twitch his lips: "I'm sorry, sir, the amount of insect repellent you mentioned is too large. Even if we empty the warehouse of the headquarters, we may not be able to meet your needs."
Everyone applies insect repellent on their bodies, but you want to spray it in the dense forest. No matter how much insect repellent you have, it will not be enough.
Meng Jingzhou curled his lips, somewhat dissatisfied with the slogan promoted by the Chamber of Commerce: "You still say that as long as you have money, you can satisfy all the needs of customers? Forget it, forget it, if you don't have money, then forget it."
The environment in the dense forest is harsh. Even mosquitoes have the strength of the first level of Qi training. If a cultivator in the Qi training stage enters the dense forest, there is almost no chance of survival.
But think about it from another angle, if a cultivator in the Qi training stage can survive in the dense forest, he will become a great man in the future.
In fact, there are many famous monks in history who chose to hone themselves in the dense forest during the Qi training period and develop a set of skills to lay a solid foundation for the future when they have heavy moisture in their bodies and need long-term physical conditioning.
"Two more bottles of dehumidifying pills, the kind with the best effect."
"And there are detoxification pills."
"I heard that some monsters carry spring poisons, and I want two people who can cure spring poisons... No, I'm not here to ask for the address of the brothel, I want two bottles of spring poison cure pills."
"Poison... your poison is of poor quality. Luckily I have prepared it. The number and weight of the herbs are written on the paper. We can make it ourselves according to this."
Lu Yang was worried about the quality of the poison produced by the Ludao Jinqian Chamber of Commerce. It was too bad. They said that the quality of the poison prepared by any random person from the Dao Sect was better than these.
"Would you two like a copy of the latest edition of the 'Jungle Atlas'? It records most of the monsters that appear in the jungle, as well as the dangers that may be encountered in the jungle."
"Good stuff, give me a copy."
"Do you want a tent? You might need one for camping in the wild. It's a hot-selling item in our chamber of commerce. If you buy a tent, you will also get some Jindan-stage monster urine for free. Sprinkle it around you when you sleep. It can effectively drive away low-level monsters."
"It might also attract higher level monsters. It's not safe. Don't do it."
"Directional teleportation talisman? What is it used for?" Lu Yang noticed a talisman. The high price made him secretly smack his lips.
In comparison, the Ten Bull Strength Pill is very cheap.
"Sir, you have good eyesight. This is a good thing to save your life. If you encounter a life-or-death crisis in the dense forest, you only need to activate this teleportation talisman to teleport you back to the Demon Suppression Pass. Even the demons, including those in the Nascent Soul stage, cannot interrupt the teleportation process!"
"Sounds good, five for me!" Meng Jingzhou was a spendthrift. He always bought whatever he liked without ever looking at the price.
The waiter smiled happily when he heard this and his attitude became more enthusiastic. The commission from the five directional teleportation talismans alone was enough to cover his monthly salary.
These two are indeed wealthy sponsors. It seems that he will get a lot of commission today.
No one knew where the two rich young masters came from. They must be disciples from a big family or sect who were taking trials here. It was their first time here.
Thinking of this, the waiter kindly reminded them, "You two, the border is not like your place. You should not show off your wealth. Not only are monsters dangerous here, but people are also dangerous. People disappear in the dense forest every day, especially recently, more people disappear. They say it was done by monsters, but everyone knows that it is not necessarily done by monsters."
He estimated that these two guests would be here for some time and they would have to continue dealing with each other in the future. Naturally, he would try every means to please such big customers.
"Although the city's lord has set up a [rule] for this city, [no one is allowed to steal, rob, or plunder], this rule is only limited to the Monster Suppression Pass. Once you leave the Monster Suppression Pass and enter the dense forest, it doesn't matter if the rule is irregular or not."
This is the advantage of having a monk in the fusion stage. He can set rules that everyone in the city he is responsible for must abide by, thus ensuring order to the greatest extent possible.
If the number of people in the fusion stage was not so rare, the Great Xia Dynasty would like to have someone in the fusion stage in every city.
"Please move to the VIP room."
The waiter bent down slightly and made a "please" gesture, but was rejected by Lu Yang.
"No need. We two brothers are in the middle stage of foundation building. The world is peaceful now. Who dares to rob us?"
Seeing this, the waiter could not persuade them anymore and could only continue to serve them.
"What are the healing pills?"
"Golden Wound Pill, if you take one, your injuries will heal quickly. Hemostasis Pill, if you encounter heavy bleeding, taking this pill can quickly stop the bleeding. Recovery Pill can maximize the speed of recovering spiritual power. The Buddha's Merit Creation Series White Bone Pill can bring the dead back to life..."
"Two bottles of each."
"Do you have any magic weapons for body protection? Give me two of each."
After the two finished their purchases, they took inventory and found that there was nothing missing: "Let's check out."
Please...collect 6...9...books...!
"You two are the VIPs of this Chamber of Commerce. You can enjoy a 10% discount on your future purchases."
Meng Jingzhou didn't say anything, but calmly took out a black token with the word "Meng" written on it.
When the waiter saw the token, his pupils suddenly shrank and his hands began to tremble.
The first lesson of his training before work was to identify the special tokens of the Chamber of Commerce. These tokens represented different identities, such as the royal family and the Meng family. They must be treated with respect and must not be offended.
He had worked here for more than ten years and had met members of the Meng family, but they were all collateral branches. There was only one word "Meng" written on the token, which meant that the other party was a direct descendant of the Meng family and was qualified to control part of the power of the Meng family in the future.
A big background, an absolutely big background.
It's ridiculous that I still say I'm giving a 10% discount. I'm afraid people won't even look down on this small discount.
"Don't say anything." Meng Jingzhou said, his tone calm, but he was actually very happy in his heart.
Yes, yes, that's the expression I want.
Lu Yang looked at Meng Jingzhou with a sidelong glance, a look of disgust.
What are you pretending for?
The Wendao Sect also has this kind of token, but only senior sisters and elders are qualified to use it.
The waiter got the token, verified its authenticity, and quickly settled the bill, along with a bunch of small gifts.
"Do you two have storage rings? I'll put the items in them directly."
Lu Yang calmly took out the jade identity card of the Wendao Sect, on which was written the word "Lu Yang".
Seeing the jade token, the waiter's heart tightened again.
Being a disciple of the Wendao Sect, this status is enough to make things happen in the world of immortal cultivation.
He guessed that these two people came from a big family or a big sect, but he really didn't think it was so big.
"Don't say anything." Lu Yang said, his tone calm, but he was actually very happy inside.
Finally it's my turn.
Meng Jingzhou looked at Lu Yang sideways. What are you pretending for?
The two of them took their things and headed into the dense forest.
However, what the two did not realize was that as soon as they left the Chamber of Commerce, five figures followed them stealthily, with fierce eyes, and they were definitely not good people.
