Chapter 5297 Arrogant and domineering
"We dare not say that it is the largest saltpeter production place on the Shura Continent, but it can also be called the largest in southern Xinjiang. People who come to us to buy saltpeter are all over the Shura Continent... Why, aren't you here to buy saltpeter?" The waiter said suspiciously.
"No, we are passing by." Bai Chen replied.
The waiter nodded.
"Although you produce saltpeter here, it is not widely used, and it is not used as a material for qi refining. Why did I see hundreds of caravans transporting it? The saltpeter transported by these caravans is enough, let alone qi refining, building city walls." Bai Chen was curiously smelled.
It is not impossible to use saltpeter as a city wall, but it is also something that only places with a large amount of saltpeter do. For example, saltpeter is not affordable to use saltpeter as a city wall in ordinary places.
Moreover, although saltpeter is a material for qi refining, it is not suitable for building city walls because of its unique flame-burning breath.
If the caravans had transported so much saltpeter to build the city walls, Bai Chen would naturally not believe it.
"Oh, you said those caravans, you really guessed it. They transported saltpeter to build a capital palace." The waiter said.
"Oh? Who wants to use saltpeter to cultivate the capital palace?" Bai Chen asked curiously.
"The city of the Southern Xinjiang monster, the Flame King! He is the king of the monsters that appeared in the desert of the Southern Xinjiang. I don't know what the original body is. Since he appeared, he has conquered the monsters in the desert of the Southern Xinjiang. Not only has he established himself as king, but now he has to build a capital palace. Because he was born in the desert, he is not afraid of the burning flames, so he came to the city of Qie City to purchase saltpeter to build a palace." The waiter said.
"So that's it." Bai Chen nodded suddenly.
"Are there anything else that a few seniors need to ask? If not, I will go and work hard." said the waiter.
"Oh, no more, go and do your business!" Bai Chen waved his hand, and the waiter turned around and left.
"Flame King? This name is straightforward, and it is reasonable to use saltpeter as a palace. However, what kind of monster calls himself the Flame King?" Ren Tianjiao looked at Kunlun and Wutian.
"Many, any monster with fire attribute can claim to be the King of Flames." Kunlun said.
"Compared with the Flame King, I am more curious about the essence of the old man's saltpeter. Do you think the legend mentioned by the waiter is true or false." Bai Chen asked.
"It must be fake! That saltpeter is just an ordinary saltpeter, not a magic weapon for mysterious weapons, and can also produce weapon spirits... If it is really like the legend, the old man would not have been in so far away for so many years." Ren Tianjiao said without thinking.
Wutian and Huo Haier didn't say anything, so they naturally wouldn't directly assert that the legend was fake like Ren Tianjiao, but in their opinion, the legend was indeed a bit incredible.
As Kunlun said, how could an ordinary piece of saltpeter have a spirit?
But Kunlun looked at Bai Chen and said, "Why, do you still want to see the essence of saltpeter?"
"Yes." Bai Chen nodded.
"Then go, we are not in a hurry anyway." Huo Haier said.
Although they came out to help Lu Tianyu find Yunlong Villa, they were not in a hurry.
Since Bai Chen wanted to go and see the saltpeter again, they were naturally willing to accompany him.
"Thank you, everyone." Bai Chen thanked and was about to get up.
Just then, a group of people walked past the restaurant.
These people were all showing off their might and knocked down many vendors' stalls, but these vendors dared not speak out when they saw these people.
Seeing this, Bai Chen couldn't help frowning, and then called the waiter to ask: "Who are those who have just passed by?"
"Oh, they are from the City Lord's Mansion. The one who leads the lead is the young master of our City Lord's Mansion, the senior and powerful man with the cultivation level of the emperor!"
The waiter looked respectful, but immediately said: "But Mr. Murong Fu is really not a good person. It would be fine to bully us by relying on the identity of the prince of the city, but also bullying the foreign mortal caravan as a monk. It is very excessive."
"It's indeed too much, what about your city lord? Didn't you restrain him?" Bai Chen asked.
"Oh, the city lord did restrain him before, but the city lord has been in seclusion for several years. Although he handed over the city lord to his subordinates before he retreated, the subordinate not only could not restrain Mr. Murong, but was slowly snatched away the rights of the city lord by Mr. Murong. The current Yixiao City is actually managed by Mr. Murong."
"There is no good thing every time Mr. Murong goes out. I don't know who will be unlucky this time." The waiter couldn't help sighing heavily as he said.
And at this moment, a familiar voice sounded: "What are you doing? Why are you smashing our stall?"
It was the voice of that little daughter.
Bai Chen and his men's faces darkened and they immediately walked out.
As soon as I went out, I saw Murong Fu standing in front of the stall of the grandfather and grandson.
At this time, the stalls of the grandfather and grandson had been smashed, and the saltpeter on them had been scattered all over the ground, leaving only the "essence" that was firmly held in the old man's arms.
"This old guy really treats this fake saltpeter as a treasure. He would rather be beaten than hold it in his arms."
Murong Fu looked at the old man with contempt and shouted: "Don't be afraid, I'm here to help you today. I'll give me the essence of saltpeter in your hand and I'll leave. How about it?"
"Why should I give it to you for no reason?" the old man said angrily.
"For no reason? Who said it was for no reason? You have been setting up a stall here for more than a month. According to fixed conditions, I will charge your stall fee of 1,000 spirit stones. If you can take it out, I will not accept your saltpeter. How about it?" Murong Fu said sinisterly.
His words suddenly caused a lot of discussion and murmur-
"One thousand spirit stones? Why didn't this guy rob it?"
"We may not be able to earn so many spirit stones in a year when we set up a stall here."
"I have lived here since I was a child and have never heard of any stall fees."
"Shh, you can't see that Young Master Murong deliberately made things difficult for Old Man Xu?"
"Why did Murong Fu deliberately make things difficult for Old Man Xu? Could he tell whether saltpeter is true or false?" Ren Tianjiao said curiously.
He was curious, and Old Man Xu was also curious. He looked at Murong Fu and said, "Young Master Murong wants this piece of saltpeter? It's very simple. As long as you admit that this piece of saltpeter is real, it doesn't matter if I give it to you."
"Haha! Old Mr. Xu, you are really persistent! You have to take a piece of fake saltpeter and force others to say that the stone is real! However, although I am a person with a lot of shortcomings, I have many advantages. One of the biggest advantages is that I will not lie!"
