First Lord of Earth

"Thank you Lord Xia!"

After seeing the two men in clogs and black robes retreating, Zhan Zhao and Hongfu Nu both breathed a sigh of relief and thanked Xia Tian.

"Who are these two people?"

"It's the two Hattori brothers who are the 'Japanese leaders'. They are accustomed to being arrogant and domineering because of their high cultivation!"

In this mysterious inn, apart from the Chinese people, the Japanese are the most numerous.

Especially these two "Japanese leaders" seemed to have obtained some spiritual stones from somewhere to assist in their cultivation, and now they have both completed three transformations!

Therefore, in addition to facing the Chinese people who have superior numbers and are guarded by General Zong.

When facing people of other national backgrounds, the Japanese have a arrogant attitude, and will even forcibly snatch the trophies of some people from other countries.

Although Zongze rebuked the Japanese several times.

But after all, he and the two Japanese leaders did not have a real superior-subordinate relationship.

In addition, we have to fight against catastrophic creatures every day, and external pressure is always present. Once human beings have internal strife, it will be self-destruction!

"So, I always let them go... I didn't expect that these two people wanted to force their way into the military tent today!"

Zhan Zhao and Hongfu Nu looked indignant.

If they were at the same level, they would not be afraid of these two Japanese leaders at all, but they had already completed three transformations.

Although Zongze is a golden hero, he is not good at martial arts. In addition, he uses his "money beads" to help people at the bottom, which causes his progress in cultivation to be slower, and he can only reach the first level of transformation.

If the opponent really forces his way into the military tent, his prestige will inevitably be greatly lost!

Fortunately, Xia Tian directly frightened it away.

"However, Lord Xia, you should be going back soon, right? Otherwise, after the mysterious inn is moved, I'm afraid you won't be able to return to your territory!"

The red whisker girl said.

She actually really wanted to know what Zongze and Xia Tian said, but it was not easy to ask directly.

"The entrance to the inn will not change for the time being. It will stay outside my territory for the next three days."

Xia Tian said with a smile.

"I see……"

Hearing this, Zhan Zhao and Zhan Zhao's faces were both happy and slightly worried...

The happy thing is that Xia Tian is here, at least he can frighten these two Japanese.

What is worrying is that under normal circumstances, the Mysterious Inn will admit some new people every day to replenish fighting blood. Now, staying at the entrance of Xia Tian Territory for three days, doesn't it mean that no new people have joined?

"General Zong gave me a test. Tomorrow I will lead the people in to help everyone resist the catastrophic creatures!"

The words in Xia Tian's mouth made the two of them completely let go of their worries.

After all, with the strength shown by Xia Tian, ​​the fighting ability of its territory personnel is definitely not bad, and they are obviously more powerful than the "stragglers" that the Mysterious Inn attracts everywhere!

And they can also take the opportunity to seize the time to practice in the inn, so that they can break through the third level of transformation...

The three of them left the camp, crossed the river and returned to the inn.

"Lord Xia, our master is hosting a banquet upstairs. I hope you can show your respect..."

However, just after entering the back door of the inn, two men in cyan clothes with their faces covered with black cloth appeared like ghosts and said to Xia Tian!

"Are you, the Four Ghosts of Western Hunan? What does your master want Lord Xia to do..."

Zhan Zhao and Hongfu Nu frowned.

The strength of these two people has reached the second transformation like them, and their auras are more vaguely integrated into one, but they are just "servants".

"I'm sorry, Young Master Zhan, Miss Hongfu. We don't understand the master's intention... but he probably wants to do business with this lord!"

Wearing a green outfit and covering his face with a black cloth, he looks like a ghostly man shaking his head.

Before, Xia Tian exposed the identity of the lord to a certain extent outside the military tent, which obviously attracted some people's attention.

There are nearly ten thousand people in the entire inn. Although Zongze controls most of them, not all of them. For example, the "master" of these people is an exception.

"Lord Xia, these two people are the subordinates of a businessman in the inn. They are very powerful. In addition to them, there are two people collectively called the 'Four Ghosts of Xiangxi'. Even the catastrophic creatures of the third level of mortal transformation can join forces to fight against them. However, this person doesn't usually participate in fighting, and spends most of his time in the inn doing business, but he has made a lot of money."

When Zhan Zhao spoke, it was obvious that he was specifically providing information to Xia Tian.

"Businessman? The Four Ghosts of Western Hunan...Okay, I'll go see your master!"

Xia Tian was originally planning to leave the inn and return to the territory, but after hearing this "title", his heart moved.

In this "mysterious inn", there are still people who are capable of being businessmen. Such people are worth seeing to see what kind of medicine they can sell in their gourds.

"Lord Xia's presence makes Wan extremely honored because of his strength... Wan Sanqian is just a businessman!"

Under the guidance of two men in Tsing Yi, Xia Xia arrived at a private room upstairs. A middle-aged man with a round face, who looked simple and honest, but with gleaming eyes stood up. Behind him, There were also two masked figures in green clothes and black robes dressed similarly to the people he invited him to!

"Three thousand? It's really him..."

Xia Tian confirmed the guess in his heart.

Another celebrity, albeit one who only comes from the "Sea of ​​Illusion".

But the character design is based on a certain figure in history who has a very similar name!

"Your Excellency invited me here, why?"

Xia Tian looked at Wan Sanqian across from him. His clothes were made of luxurious materials, and he was wearing silk and satin that seemed to be woven from otherworldly materials. He was wearing gold and jade jewelry. Most of the people here were "in debt", so that their clothes There is something unique among the shabby mysterious inns!

On the table next to him, a beautifully shaped silver box is even more eye-catching.

"Wan wants to make a deal with Lord Xia..."

Wan Sanqian opened the "box" with a smile, took out three things, and placed them on the table one by one.

A large piece of purple-black dragon-shaped bone with thunder flowing around it.

A stone the size of a fist, emitting blazing golden light.

And a grain ear with hundreds of seeds, emitting jade-white light!

"This is the 'Evil Dragon Bone'. It is a rare treasure turned into a piece of bones left by a dragon-blooded creature that was struck by lightning. It contains the 'power of thunder and the power of dragons' and can be integrated into weapons to create Create a weapon comparable to a rare item..."

"This is the 'Golden Crow Stone'. It is a rare treasure condensed from the blood dripping from the injured Golden Crow. It contains the power of the sun and heat..."

"This is 'Pearl Spirit Rice', which is the mature seed of a heterogeneous plant. After planting, each seed is as big as a pearl. Moreover, it only takes half a month to mature..."

Every time he introduced something, Xia Tian's face became more moved.

"Not bad, really good..."

Xia Tian felt pleasantly surprised in her heart.

These three "exotic treasures and alien species" are all of great use to me.

First of all, the "evil dragon bone" actually contains the power of thunder and dragon clan, which can be said to perfectly fit with his own spiritual power and supernatural power attributes.

In particular, it can be integrated into weapons and create "wonder-level" weapons.

You must know that the two main battle weapons he currently has, the "Thunder Bow" is okay, the effect itself is only equivalent to an auxiliary, in fact, it relies on his own thunder power to achieve the lethality!

Therefore, even though it was opened from the treasure chest at the first level of transformation, there is no big problem in continuing to use it.

However, the weapon "Fire Phoenix Spear" began to show its shortcomings in the previous battle with the "Spider Goddess".

After all, as a melee weapon, it needs to fight the enemy in real terms. Even the golden weapon in the past has begun to fall behind as the rules of the world change.

Only strange objects, because they contain the power of laws, can also improve as the world changes.

This "Evil Dragon Bone" is a rare treasure. After being integrated into a weapon, it can gain "rare object" level characteristics, which can be said to be quite valuable!

The second "Golden Black Stone" has a similar effect and can also be integrated into weapons.

But after Xia Tian saw this stone, what immediately appeared in his mind was another item, and that was the "Sun Gold Vase".

The Golden Crow is the sun in Chinese legends.

If it is integrated into the "Sun Gold Bottle", can this rare item be upgraded to "blue level"?

In that case, combined with the "Moon Bottle" obtained from the "Drow Priest", a large number of metamorphosis-level plants can be produced in the territory. What this means is self-evident!

Speaking of plants, the third item that the Thirteen Thousand People took out of the box turned out to be mature "seeds" of exotic plants, and they were also rice seeds.

This thing has even greater significance.

Currently, the food in his territory mainly relies on using the market to purchase food from certain lords with "planting" talents, as well as meat obtained by hunting ferocious beasts.

However, these two are obviously not a long-term solution...

After dealing with the surrounding alien races, it is the right way to cultivate the land and give full play to the fine traditions of Chinese civilization.

Especially after recruiting people from the inn, the number of people in the territory will increase significantly, and the food problem will become a difficulty to be faced. Therefore, the heterogeneous "spiritual rice" that can be quickly planted and has a very high yield is definitely not low in value!

"Boss Wan is really secretive... I don't know, how are you going to trade these three items with me?"

Xia Tian stared at Wan Sanqian, who was dressed luxuriously and had a fat face full of smiles.

Obviously, it is impossible to just pick out a few items and have them suit you so well.

It can only be said that these Thirteen Thousand are indeed worthy of being able to "do business" in this mysterious inn. Either they have special talents, or the box next to him has some kind of "wonderful object properties"!

"These hundred pearl rice seeds cost one hundred spiritual stones each; the 'Evil Dragon Bone' and 'Golden Crow Stone' cost three hundred spiritual stones each? What does Lord Xia think of these prices!"

Wan Sanqian seemed to be very impressed by Xia Tian's praise and said.

What, so cheap?

Xia Tian was a little surprised in his heart.

After all, these rare treasures are of great value to him.

The fact that the other party was able to come up with "compatible" goods meant that he was well prepared. Xia Tian originally thought that the other party would offer a high price and make a huge profit.

Unexpectedly, Wan Sanqian actually proposed a price of "one hundred spiritual stones, three hundred spiritual stones"!

This value is obviously not high, it should even be said to be very low.

You know, the value of this "exotic treasure" may not be as valuable as rare items, but it is still much better than ordinary resource treasures.

In the summer before, he had obtained the lowest grade white exotic treasure "Moonstone" through the "Fangshi" trade for "Golden Dragon Marrow Essence".

At that time, there was another person who offered the price of one hundred spirit stones, which Xia Tian did not sell.

This shows that at least in his heart, the value of a "white" exotic treasure is higher than that of hundreds of spirit stones.

As for the two exotic treasures and a foreign seed that Wan Sanqian took out from the box, even if the "Eye of Insight" cannot be used in the inn, Xia Tian also knows purely from the information described in them that they will definitely not be white. quality.

Especially the two "exotic treasures", Xia Tian estimated that they were likely to be of blue or higher quality.

For only three hundred spirit stones, it can be said to be quite a bargain.

The only question is, is what these 13,000 people said true or false?

If it was fake, I probably thought the Mystic Inn would be moved immediately.

Moreover, as long as he stayed in the mysterious inn, even if Xia Tian found out that he had been deceived, there would be nothing he could do to him.

If it is true, you can definitely buy it, after all, it is really not expensive!

"Could Lord Xia be wondering why Wan hid such a good thing in the 'treasure box' instead of selling it to the people in the inn to enhance everyone's strength?"

"First of all, Wan admits that compared to General Zong's righteousness, Wan pays more attention to his own small profits. Therefore, it is impossible to give these things to others at a low price. Secondly, the strength of the people in this inn is not superior. The stronger, the better…”

As a businessman, it is instinctive for Wan Sanqian to observe what is happening.

Seeing that Xia Tian did not respond immediately but frowned slightly, it was obvious that he had a misunderstanding, but he still said something.

"Oh, would you like to hear the details?"

Xia Tian actually didn't think so at all.

As a person from modern society, I have a clear understanding of people's selfishness.

At the same time, unlike the ancients who looked down upon "businessmen", we know that the value of businessmen is actually no worse than those who produce!

"Actually, it's not meaningless for those catastrophic creatures to attack the inn!"

Thirty Thousand Next made Xia Tian become interested.

It seems that compared to others, this "businessman" knows more about the mysterious inn and the aura of catastrophe.

"Just like we can gain benefits by killing these 'foreign monsters', they can also gain benefits after killing us. Therefore, those powerful catastrophe creatures are not too bothered to kill ordinary people, but more Attack important personnel and leaders on the human side!”

Xia Tian remembered the "alien" leader from before.

If you choose to massacre ordinary people, the results you can achieve will definitely be greater.

But after venting its anger at the beginning, it directly targeted Zhan Zhao. It seemed there was a reason.

"The catastrophe creatures are themselves transformed from the energy of catastrophe. They belong to the creatures that have been destroyed in the original world... I wonder if Lord Xia has ever heard of the 'Water Ghost'?"

"Nature knows."

"It is said that the ghosts in the water are bound by that body of water. If they want to escape and be reincarnated, they need to find a scapegoat first!"

Wan Sanqian had a strange smile on his face.

"You mean, if these catastrophic creatures want to completely enter the eternal land, they need to kill the 'creatures' who enter alive?"

Xia Tian immediately realized what he was going to say.

"Yes, just like different people in the inn need different prices to 'ransom' themselves, those catastrophic creatures who want to 'ransom' themselves probably also need corresponding levels of 'prices'... Therefore, the stronger the inn's side is, of course The higher the combat effectiveness, the easier it is to attract attacks from powerful catastrophic creatures!"

Wan Sanqian glanced at Xia Tian with an expression of appreciation.

"Correspondingly, there are also the number of people. The more people there are in this inn, the greater the number of catastrophic creatures that attack every day, and the greater the intensity of the attacks..."

"In other words, the more people who enter the inn, the easier it is to attract the attention of catastrophic creatures? Moreover, the more people with strong luck, the easier it is to attract high-level catastrophic creatures to attack. And the higher the level of catastrophic creatures, the more likely they are to attract the attention of catastrophic creatures. When a creature dies, it has a better chance of obtaining 'exotic treasures' and high-grade beads?"

Xia Tian's eyes lit up.

This is definitely a very good piece of information.

After all, for other territories, the number of outstanding people with "great luck" is limited.

But it was so easy for him!

The total number of golden and silver heroes in the territory exceeds double digits. I was originally worried that the number of catastrophic creatures that would attack after entering was too small and the quality was not high.

As a result, not much income can be obtained, and it also hinders the development of the territory!

But according to Wan Sanqian, there is a lot of room for maneuver, and it is simply the best leveling place with "automatic spawning of monsters"!

"Wan Laoben is sincere in doing business. I won't bargain for these three items. I'll just give them to you. I'll take all the seven hundred spirit stones."

Xia Tian's hand flashed with light, and without any further thought, he directly threw out a pile of spirit stones!

For him, this news alone was actually worth the price of a spiritual stone.

Thumb-sized, translucent spirit stones were piled up on the table, and the refracted light was bright. Looking at the "four ghosts" behind Wan Sanqian, his eyes were a little straight and his breathing was rapid.

"I wonder if you can trade other things besides 'exotic treasures'. For example, exchange spiritual stones for money beads?"

After the two parties finished trading the "exotic treasures", Xia Tian spoke again.

"Money beads? Lord Xia wants to exchange spirit stones for money beads!"

Wan Sanqian's expression finally turned a little surprised.

"This may take some preparation time. The key is to see how much Lord Xia needs..."

Immediately, his tone showed confidence again.

If Xia Tian wants to trade more exotic treasures, it will still be difficult for him.

After all, rare treasures are relatively rare, but the difficulty of obtaining "money beads" is too easy.

Especially for a businessman like him, as long as he has capital, it is not difficult to obtain various types of "beads".

Don't look at the nearly ten thousand people in the inn.

But this does not mean that everyone is "trapped". In fact, some people have already collected enough money to "redemption".

But, because I am used to this kind of life, I don't want to leave.

After all, the "Eternal Land" outside is not stable at all, and may not be as good as this "Mysterious Inn" where you can eat and drink.

And some people just didn't have enough "bead coins" that they owed the inn.

For example, Zhan Zhao and Hong Fu owe the inn "Golden Beads of Luck", but they may have accumulated a large number of "Copper Beads of Catastrophe" and "Silver Beads of Willing Power" in their hands.

This part can all be purchased by trading spiritual stones or exotic treasures.

"At least more than 100,000 copper beads, 10,000 silver beads and thousands of gold beads..."

Xia Tian thought about it.

According to Wan Sanqian, recruiting people away may not affect the defense of the inn, so naturally the more people you recruit, the better!

"Hiss, this amount is huge, Wan needs a certain amount of time to prepare."

Wan Sanqian's eyes were filled with joy and he said.

"Then, Mr. Wan, please prepare some tonight. I will bring enough spiritual stones and some other items to the inn tomorrow."

The kobolds in prison have been almost tamed in the past few days.

It's time to go out and work as a coolie.

Even if five hundred kobolds dig only ten pieces a day, that is still five thousand spirit stones. Two or three days are enough to dig out tens of thousands of them.

In addition, such people still lack a lot of living and healing materials, which can also be exchanged for "beads" or even "exotic treasures"!

"Then I look forward to meeting Mr. Wan again tomorrow!"

At this time, the waiter at the inn had just served the food, but Xia Tian was no longer prepared to stay.

After all, the taste of these dishes is no better than those made by Chef Ding, and he has reached the upper limit, and the spiritual power contained in them is of little significance to him.

"Master, didn't you say that the potential value of those beads is far higher than that of spiritual stones? Why do you agree to exchange spiritual stones for beads now?"

After watching Xia Tian's figure leave from the front door of the inn, a "ghost" said.

"Values ​​are all changing. The value of beads is potential, while the value of spirit stones is current!"

"In this mysterious inn, you can use these spiritual stones to obtain more money beads through transactions, and you can also circulate the money beads hidden in the hands of many people. You must remember, money, It needs to be mobilised. Once everyone has money, we will have more money..."

Wan Sanqian's face showed enthusiasm and confidence for his career.

Picking up a pair of silver chopsticks, he put into his mouth a portion of the "White Jade Peanuts" that the waiter had just served that ordinary people in the inn could not buy even one after working hard all day.

"Money can help you communicate with the gods!"

"This "Mysterious Inn" is a collection of heaven and earth. It is essentially an ownerless thing. The so-called 'boy' is just working for it. If I can accumulate enough merit and money, I can even become a 'Mysterious Inn' The innkeeper really has it under control!"

"When I meet Haitang one day and use this inn as my dowry, she will definitely be willing to marry me."

The fat and greasy face of the middle-aged man was full of smiles, while the four "ghostly" bodyguards behind him looked at each other and couldn't help but sigh!

The master is good at everything, but he is too infatuated.

Doesn't he know that the reason why Miss Haitang is unwilling to marry him is not a matter of money at all?
