On this Yangtze River flowing from the northern snowfield to the south, there are three ferries similar to Fenglingdu. "These three ferries are key defense areas for mankind, so all the materials from the abandoned land of three thousand miles were gathered at the three ferries.

There is no teleportation array here. In order to prevent monsters from assaulting, you must cross the river from the ferry by boat. Therefore, Fengling Ferry is busy, and the ships here are endless day and night. The people here are constantly flowing in and out, so there is a lamppost every few steps on the two gentle slope embankments that come in and out. I believe that the lights are on at night, and this is the brightest pearl on the mainland.

It's noon now. Yunduo followed Bixi to step onto the gentle slope embankment that was winding upward. There were three levels along the slope. Each level had a small bunker half buried on the ground. There were always helmets at the entrance of the bunker, and the guards who couldn't see clearly were guarding him. Yunduo looked at them a little while when he passed by them and found that they were at least cultivators in the Qi Refining Stage, while the team leader was in the Foundation Establishment Stage.

Walking all the way to the highest point of the city wall, the light gate opposite the elevator door shone with a bright and non-glare light. There are two teams of guards on both sides of the light gate, each team has three people, and the leader is in the foundation building stage, and the two team members look about the fifth level of Qi refining.

These guards stared at everyone entering and leaving. Under their eyes, Yun Duo walked into the light gate with Bixi. He felt that the scene in front of him had turned around and he had been teleported to the open space in the middle of the city.

Looking up, there are many square-like gratings on the open space in the center of the city. These gratings are flashing, and each flashing can highlight some of the flow of people - it seems that those who enter the light gate are teleported to this square.

Some people who were planning to open Fenglingduo, as Yun Duo stared at him, stepped on the shining square grating, and their bodies would immediately disappear from the square - they would probably appear on the gentle slope next time.

Bixi quickly called Yun Duo away from the square on the ground. When everyone walked out of the square, Bixi pointed to the city wall in the distance and whispered: "We are now in the inner city square. People entering and leaving Fenglingdu must pass through a short-distance teleportation array to the square, and then go out from the inner door. All those entering and leaving must stay in the outer city area or rest, so..."

Bixi didn't continue to say anything, Yun Duo understood. He glanced at the circular inner wall surrounding the square and understood in seconds.

The outer city wall of Fenglingdu must have been reinforced by magic, and then a special formation is arranged. Only through the light gate can one enter the center of the square, while the inner city wall wraps the square. In fact, it is equivalent to a urn city. If an enemy invades, the light gate that closes the outer city wall can make the enemy unable to enter.

At the same time, even if the enemy breaks through the light gate of the outer city wall, it can only appear in the inner square. The guards can organize a second defense from the wall surrounding the square, and then surround and kill the enemies appearing in the square.

The reason why Fenglingdu looks like eyes is that the inner city wall is round, like a human pupil, while the outer city wall looks like eye sockets...

There are fees to enter and exit Fenglingdu. I don’t know how much the fees are for ordinary people. Yun Duo and three others paid three low-grade spirit stones at the entrance and exit of the inner city wall. Only then were allowed to enter the outer city area. Of course, there is still a procedure for the inner city wall to check whether the person entering is a monster. But because the beast tide is still far away, the people who inspected this were extremely lazy. They charged the inspection fee but did not check the people who entered and exit in detail.

Of course, Yun Duo and others have the identity token of the Xuantian Gate, which is absolutely true. Therefore, even if the guardian wants to check the animal shape, he will not check the Yun Duo's wave of people.

...

Only when I got here did Yunduo feel the noise of the city for the first time.

Yes, this is a real city.

Although Jieyin City has a large population, the people there basically live in a factory area. Everyone has to find a job every day and everyone has to work for daily rations. Everyone is in a hurry and can see obvious pressure on their lives on their faces.

Only in Fenglingduo, Yunduo saw the innocent and leisure crowd for the first time - in broad daylight, there were many monks wandering around here, and many ordinary people were also taking care of their hands and enjoying the street scenes in vain. At the same time, behind them, servants always came like clouds, waiting for their master to deliver what he needed.

The pace of life in this leisure city is slow.

People walking along the street were leisurely, and the clouds saw people holding dogs and slid birds, and local tycoons who were walking and stopping in front of various shops and sweeping the streets as they pleased.

Here, the entire outer city is a huge commercial street, with almost all the storefronts being shops. There are many migrant people here. When I passed the dock just now, Yunduo saw a large ship leaving more than once. The new ship immediately landed on the up and downhills, carrying cargo and loading and unloading the ship, which was comparable to the abortions of Chunxi Road.

Strangely, among these pedestrians coming and going, there was a group of scholars dressed in ancient scholar costumes that looked very much like Yun Duo’s memory. They pretended to take a folding fan, and some even inserted the folding fan into the collar behind their necks, making a look of handsome young man. They shook their heads all the way, doing so-called poems and songs, praising the...the prosperity and extravagance here.

Su Zhi, behind her, found Yun Duo observing these people, and hurriedly came forward to remind him: "Young master, you are a student who is the candidate for the examination."

The selection of officials here is a bit close to Yun Duo's memory of the imperial examination system, but it is also a bit like the civil servant exam later. Because the examination here is not like the imperial examination system, which requires multiple selections. Instead, it is like the civil servant exam, which only passes the introductory examination. However, the people who pass the examination are awarded local officials positions at one time like the imperial examination, while the officials under their command are scholars who fail the imperial examination and are only literate.

I remember that Bi Li once told Yun Duo that although the city here is under the jurisdiction of Xianren, Xianren is impatient with daily administrative affairs. Xianren only cares about maintaining the city's public security and the taxes paid by the city. As for those daily administrative management, they have to rely on the secular officials they appointed to manage, and these secular officials are selected from the examination and examination.

The existence of these students is a bit like the tax-holding officers in the Middle Ages or the businessmen who contracted city operations... Although the content they learned is equivalent to the Four Books and Five Classics in Yun Duo's memory.

Of course, civilization has developed for so long, while immortals develop their own culture. Mortals in the world have also developed their own cultural concepts. However, the immortals seem to be disdainful of caring for and understanding this set of culture.

The scholar Yun Duo saw just now shook his fan and recited a poem. His face looked sad, and he looked like a literary and grief-like pretending to be sad like a literary and elegant poem. The content of the poem is: "The autumn wind is bleak at night, and the lovesickness is fried with the sea, sitting quietly in the deep mountains and lonely, with sweet, bitter, spicy and salty, and the five flavors of life..."

When Yun Duo heard this poem, he rolled his eyes and gave an evaluation in his heart: "Idiot."

In fact, there are only four flavors in life. Spicy is not taste, but feeling, and stimulation.

Macadamia and spicy are both stimulation. Just like cigarette rolls and alcohol, it is not the taste felt by the taste buds, so it is particularly addictive... But why bother explaining these to mortals?

So Yunduo turned around and walked into a shop on the side of the road.

This shop sells cultivation materials, with a three-story high floor and a basement. Clouds stayed slightly on the first floor, and Su Zhi followed behind. He explained quietly: "Fenglingdu is the largest commodity distribution center nearby, on this Yangtze River. There are about three large ferries like Fenglingdu, each of which contains rare materials in the vicinity of hundreds of thousands of miles.

Merchants purchase goods from here, then load them to the estuary of the river, and then transfer them from the estuary to the Qiguo Port by the sea—there can only be sold at a high price.”

Yun Duo understood, that is to say, the three major ferry crossings by the river intercepted a large number of immortal cultivation materials obtained from the forest of monsters. However, the cultivation cities in the south of the Yangtze River could only obtain a small part of the immortal cultivation materials. Most of the immortal cultivation materials were actually circulated to Qi.

Of course, businessmen are helpless in doing things for profit.

Su Zhi quietly added: "The cargo ships walking on the river all have the background of Qi people, so they cannot be easily provoked..."

Yun Duo immediately asked: "That is to say, the supplies at the three major ferry gates are cheaper. When you return to the sect, will the supplies sold in Pingxi City be more expensive than here?"

Bixi immediately added: "It is certainly expensive than here, but the price of goods in Pingxi City is even more expensive than those sold in Qi State, which makes people feel uncomfortable."

Yun Duo asked again: "So, in that abandoned land, does Qi have no directly governed cities?"

Yun Duo talked about Qi State, which is actually about the Taiyue Sect behind Qi State. Everyone understands this.

Su Zhi and Bixi on the opposite side nodded inconspicuously, and then pretended to search for supplies on the shelves.

The three of them have now followed the crowd to the second floor of the shop. Judging from the display of goods, the first and second floors of this shop are mainly aimed at Qi training monks and foundation-building monks. The second floor above is mainly aimed at wealthy foundation-building monks and Jindan monks. The third floor above is the shop owner's own home.

As for what to buy in the basement, Yun Duo knew, but he couldn't make people see that he was familiar with the store.

Su Zhi whispered: "Young Master, if you have anything to sell, please inform the owner of the shop here directly. If you want to buy anything, check it out on the goods list first. This store is a joint number and the goods are relatively complete. Even if there is no goods list, you can ask them to order it. Oh, the price of the goods is cheap. If you have spare money, you might as well purchase it."

What does clouds need?

Yunduo needs a lot, but he is afraid that he will not have enough money.

As he was speaking, Bixi waved to the clerk to come over, handed the other party a jade slip and asked: "Do you have these goods?"

This time, Bixi mainly wanted to purchase colorful stones and Nirvana stones. Unexpectedly, the clerk looked at the list and immediately nodded at Bixi. Bixi looked around and replied calmly: "This is my companion."

So the shopkeeper took out a jade slip, entered a paragraph on the jade slip, handed it to Bixi. After reading this jade slip, Bixi pondered and said, "Is this price a little high?"

Yun Duo understood: There are people coming and going in the store. If the customer wants to purchase any precious goods, once he says it, he will be heard by others, and he will be afraid of being missed by others. You should know that the monks' hearing is very abnormal.

Therefore, the current conversation method was created: both parties input what they wanted to say into the jade slip, and the jade slip has a powerful ban technique. Only the spiritual consciousness of the two parties can explore and read the information entered by the other party - this is equivalent to encrypting the conversation, and the entire conversation is carried out silently, which is safer.

Yun Duo quickly took out a jade slip, thought about it, and first entered into the jade slip: a piece of ghost wood.

After thinking about it, Yunduo added another sentence: The technique of superimposing storage spaces with each other.

Looking back, Su Zhi was also busy and entered her information into the jade slip. At this time, Bixi had been invited by the clerk to a private room to conduct private transactions.

Su Zhi whispered next to her: "Young Master. There is a wheel logo outside the door of this store. Such a store belongs to a large trading company called Rotary Club. So although the store looks small, they can transfer goods to each other in the chamber of commerce..."

In fact, all of these clouds are understood. Jin Xiang Zhenjun has relevant records in his memory, but now he plays a child, and he has to listen to others' explanations like a child.

Su Zhi was also invited to a separate trading room, and Yunduo immediately handed over his jade slip. The shop assistant took the jade slip and read it for a while, and immediately smiled like a flower, and waved to invite Yunduo into the secret room.

In a separate house, everything is similar to the memory of Zhenjun Jin Xiang. There is no one to receive the empty room, only a table is placed against the wall, and there is a floating water mirror like a screen, and there are more than a dozen cameras next to the screen. According to Zhenjun Jin Xiang’s memory, the walls in the room are actually transformed from a illusion array. There are actually senior treasure appraisers on the opposite side, but Yun Duo is now just a qi-refining child. He can’t pretend to know everything.

Yun Duo hit a piece of spiritual consciousness on the screen, and a conversation immediately appeared on the water mirror screen: "I want to purchase ghost wood."

After this passage was posted on the screen, I immediately replied: "The ghost wood is very rare and can only be collected in the shore of the Nether Lake in the north. This thing is very expensive. Are you sure you can afford it?"

Yunduo immediately responded: "You don't need to care about my wallet problem. You just need to consider whether you have the goods."

"Only the Jindan monks can enter Netherworld Lake. The Yinhun wood cut from Netherworld Lake is of very narrow use and can only accommodate Yinhun and nourish ghost cultivators. Therefore, few people risk cutting Yinhun wood...

Our offer is 200,000 medium-grade spirit stones. You can pay half of them first as a deposit, and then agree to the city where you pick up the goods, we will give you a pickup certificate. When you arrive in that city, you can use the pickup certificate to go to the Chamber of Commerce to collect it, or if you are willing to add a little, we can deliver the goods directly to the mountain gate..."

According to Jin Xiang Zhenjun's memory, this chamber of commerce has been in operation for tens of thousands of years and has always been highly reputable. So Yun Duo did not hesitate. He took out enough spirit stones from Duobao Zhenjun's storage belt, piled them on the table, and then typed another line of words on the screen.

"It is said that space storage devices cannot be superimposed, but I know that they can actually be superimposed, and I need to know relevant knowledge."

The screen was silent for a long time, and a few words appeared on the screen, but were immediately altered... Finally, a line of words appeared on the screen was: "Only one person thinks that the space storage device can be superimposed. As far as I know, he is dead."

Yun Duo said without hesitation: "How long has he been dead?"

At this time, Yun Duo had vaguely guessed that the person the other party was talking about might be Duobao True Lord. He originally thought that there were still people in this world who knew about space superposition technology, and since only one person knew about this technology... In order to show his ignorance, he put on a question with curiosity and pretended to want to understand the other party's life.

I don’t know if Yun Duo’s move can eliminate the other party’s suspicion, but after a while, a quote appeared on the screen: “300,000 medium-grade spirit stones.”

Yunduo immediately caught up with him: "The price of this is high, but knowledge is just a skill, and you can sell this skill many times, so the price of 300,000 medium-grade spirit stone is too high."

The screen immediately said: "The price is to say the person's name by 300,000 medium-grade spirit stones. Then, you can find this person to learn related knowledge - you pay now, and we will tell you his name."

Yun Duo opened his mouth wide and was stunned for a long time. After a while, he hesitated and said: "You just said that this person is dead... Hehehe, why do I want a dead person's name? No, this price is too expensive, I'll give up."

Next, Yunduo did not allow others to regret it, so he immediately added a few more purchase items. The first few items were daily necessities - Yunduo designed. Using space spells on wild marching tents can make the tent space infinitely large "cloud tent".

Next is a bunch of portable lamps, cooking stoves, and travel-mounted alchemy furnaces that can be set up at any time in the wild.

Then, the requirements of Yunduo input are a little weird: "Is there a large aircraft, such as a large aircraft that can accommodate many people at a time, has strong defense capabilities, and is aggressive."

The Rotary Club agreed to Yunduo's earliest requests very readily, and Yunduo's outdoor cooking stove also achieved the expected results - the other party was indeed willing to buy Yunduo's design drawings and was willing to use the purchase price to offset the payment.

Speaking of large aircraft, the other party did not shy away from the response: "What you should be talking about is the 'war boat', or also called the 'gull ship'. This is the force of the sect, and it usually requires a lot of manpower to operate... Are you sure you need the squad?"

Yun Duo laughed dryly and immediately asked: "It requires a lot of people to operate. Is there any smaller one? For example, you can operate it with one or two people. It has a fast flight speed, a lot of attack firepower, but also has a strong defense of the 'fast boat'."

"There are things like this, there are thunderbolt boats, lightning boats, and flying cloud boats that can be operated by five people..."

Yun Duo is not afraid of manpower issues. There are a large number of puppets in the Yingzhi ring. As long as Yun Duo learns how to manipulate puppets, he will have enough manpowers. But his purpose is not this, so Yun Duo immediately changed the topic: "This, there are still more operations for five people, can you be less?"
