I will survive with proficiency

The so-called Yaodu is just another name for this city of cultivating immortals. Its real name is 'Luanluo City'.

It is the city where Qingluan lives, which means auspiciousness.

In the center of the whole city are two juxtaposed trees. The ancient trees are so huge that they are hard to describe. The trunks soared into the clouds, and the branches covered the sky and the sun, covering the entire city.

Standing in front of Luan Luo City, Chen Ping was shocked just by looking around.

Following the monks who came in and out, they entered the city without any credentials. The most intuitive feeling is that there are many trees in the whole Xiuxian City, and the field of vision is very limited when walking in the city.

Some houses are even built on big trees.

Among the cultivators coming and going in the city, most of the demon cultivators have the same appearance and clothing as human cultivators.

Can't tell if they are monsters or humans.

There are only a very small number of monsters who indulge themselves to reveal the characteristics of the monsters, such as a furry paw, a pair of pink ears, and a pair of big blue eyes.

Chen Ping made some inquiries and found a good inn.

When I checked in, I inquired about the situation here intentionally or unintentionally from the waiter who led the way.

Luanluo City is completely different from other immortal cities. Strictly speaking, Luanluo City is not a city of cultivating immortals, but the capital of the Yaozu dynasty.

The whole city is divided into four areas: Miyagi, Imperial City, Inner City, and Outer City.

The first three cities have strict qualifications to enter the city, and they are protected by formations, and they cannot enter without a specific identity.

Outer cities have no identity restrictions.

That is the area where Chen Ping is currently located.

"In fact, the outer city has the largest area and the most immortal masters, and the most inclusive area is also the outer city. This outer city may have what the immortal masters want to find. Countless immortal masters have come from thousands of miles away, They all found their own opportunities in this outer city." The waiter in the shop was well-informed, and after receiving Chen Ping's tip of a dozen taels of gold, he answered every question.

Chen Ping continued to ask:

"Is there an auction in Luan Luo City?"

Shop Xiaoer introduces:

"Yes. There will be an auction every once in a while. Because all kinds of immortal masters and mortals live together in Luanluo City, there are all kinds of rare treasures in the auction. If the immortal master is interested, you can Just go to the auction house in the center of the outer city and inquire about it."

"If the immortal master is looking for some conventional treasures, there may be some in the market or shops."

After a pause, the waiter whispered again:

"Have you ever heard of the black market?"

black market?

Chen Ping has been cultivating immortals for so long, but he has only seen Zhengjingfang Market, and never seen the so-called black market.

This is the capital of the country, how can there be a black market?

Seeing that Chen Ping didn't answer, the waiter in the shop looked around and whispered:

"Going east from Luanluo City, about 50 miles away, there is a place near the sea. There is the famous black market in Yaodu City. There are all the things that are allowed and not allowed to be sold in Luanluo City..."

understood.

It is a place outside the law.

Chen Ping knew that on the surface it was considered a place outside the law and was not allowed by the ruling class in the palace, but in fact most of the people standing behind it were the people in the palace.

Otherwise, it wouldn't be able to open in Yaodu.

Chen Ping took the opportunity to ask for some more information.

In the end, I went to the waiter and asked for a map of the city outside Luanluo City.

There are no maps for the three cities inside.

"How can I get in these three inner cities?" Chen Ping put down the map.

The waiter bowed and said:

"The palace city and the imperial city can only be entered by the royal relatives or high-ranking officials and nobles. I don't know the details of the small ones. But casual cultivators can also enter the inner city, but they have to go to the city defense to do detailed registration. Only those who have evaluated the inner city It can only be released if it is harmless and there is a clear reason."

Chen Ping nodded and asked again:

"If you want to contact people in the imperial city, how can you send the news in?"

What he was going to do was not something shady, so it didn't hurt to ask directly, there was no need to be reserved.

"This, I don't know about the small ones." The shop clerk said helplessly.

Chen Ping saw that he couldn't ask the confidence he wanted to know, so he didn't ask any more. After all, the status of the waiter in the shop is still a little lower, so I don't necessarily know this.

After the waiter left, Chen Ping set up a psychedelic array in the guest room, and made early warning arrangements everywhere.

Then meditate and practice exercises, so as to restore physical and spiritual strength as soon as possible, and get rid of the dust all over the body.

evening.

Chen Ping originally thought of resting for a day, the future will be long, and other things will be discussed tomorrow.

But I didn't figure out the situation in Yaodu, and I always felt insecure and had a feeling of restlessness.

After all, it's not just humans here.

There are also Yaozu.

So I went out and walked along the outer city according to the information marked on the map. Learn about the terrain, layout and various shops of Luanluo City on the spot.

By the way, I stopped for a while in some restaurants, popular places, and squares, and inquired about the humanities of the demon capital from the chat.

Because it is the capital of the country, there are countless dignitaries living in it, so the management of this whole demon capital is still very perfect.

It is very common for the city defense to patrol the streets.

Although the human race and the monster race live together, there are very few cases of casual cultivators making troubles and robbery, and there are even fewer cases of mortal disputes.

And because the situation of mixed living has lasted for hundreds of years, the inclusiveness is not bad, and there is basically no "black life is expensive" situation here.

Even the goods sold in the distributing square market have specific divisions of 'tofu blocks'.

‘After all, it is the capital of the country, so the security is still very good. '

After a trip to understand, Chen Ping was relieved.

The instinctive fear of the unknown is reduced.

When I returned to the inn at night, I specially came to take a hot medicinal bath served by a monster maidservant with a tail.

Of course, this is mainly to fully experience the local customs and exotic customs, so as to better integrate into the local area and gain a deeper understanding of the Yaozu.

Nothing to do with the others.

"Fellow Daoist, please come inside, what do you need?"

On the second day, Chen Ping found an authoritative register shop according to the map. When the shopkeeper saw Chen Ping coming in, he immediately greeted him.

Chen Ping took a look at the shop:

"Is there a brochure introducing the spells on sale?"

"Yes, fellow daoist, wait a moment." The shopkeeper quickly greeted Xiao Er and brought a booklet.

Inside are introductions to some of the spells on sale.

Most of them are spells in the Qi training period, which is similar to other cities of cultivating immortals, and there is nothing special about them.

There are only a few basic spells in the foundation building period.

Chen Ping asked straightforwardly:

"Is there any magic spell here?"

"That fellow daoist came to the wrong place." The shopkeeper said with a smile:

"Spells of refining gods are spells in the late stage of foundation establishment. How can they be sold publicly in the shop? If you want to buy them, you can go to the 'Changhong' auction house. There will be some refining spells released in Miyagi from time to time. You can go there and try them out. luck."

Chen Ping saw that the shopkeeper was also a foundation builder, so he asked one more question:

"Then, do you have some general brochures on alchemy here, the shopkeeper?"

"Well, not really. But this shopkeeper knows a thing or two about alchemy, so I can talk to fellow Taoists about it." The shopkeeper talked eloquently.

This shopkeeper is nice.

Under normal circumstances, even if the shopkeeper does not show impatience when not buying things from his family, he will rarely introduce other information so enthusiastically, let alone actively inform other purchase channels.

Shouldn't it be persuading to buy some more things in the store?

There are still many good people (demons).

Just when Chen Ping was feeling so emotional, the shopkeeper laughed again and said:

"When Daoist friends went to Changhong Auction House to sign up, it can be said that it was recommended by me, Longji Trading Company. There is a certain reduction in the bidding fee. If you successfully bid for the goods, you will be able to reduce the total fee for all products in the firm."

Good guy.

It turns out that the interests are closely related.

No wonder he is so enthusiastic, every sentence is inseparable from business.

Chen Ping said calmly:

"I really need to go to the auction house. Don't give me a discount on the books in your store. How about asking you something?"

"Fellow daoist, please tell me." The shopkeeper readily agreed.

"How can I enter the imperial city openly? Or send a message in." Chen Ping asked.

I deliberately said something aboveboard, so as not to be misunderstood as wanting to sneak in would be detrimental to the high-ranking officials and nobles in the imperial city, which might cause unnecessary trouble.

Who knows if there will be an inner city backstage behind these shops?

Seeing the shopkeeper smiling and saying nothing, Chen Ping added:

"Don't worry, this auction will be participated in the way recommended by your store. And, as long as the price is not too outrageous, I will probably bid for individual goods."

"Okay, I believe in fellow daoist, and fellow daoist is a trustworthy person just by looking at his appearance." The shopkeeper led Chen Ping to his seat, ordered the servants to serve tea, and then said:

"If you want to enter the imperial city, unless you have people from the imperial city to guide the way, or go to the east of the city to reveal a certain reward order in the imperial city, you will naturally be able to enter after completing the reward task and reporting it to the city defense. I'm afraid it's not easy to be an identity."

"Of course, it's just not easy, not impossible. Fellow Daoists can go to the black market, and there will naturally be people who dare to take such a job there. As for bringing a word, it's even less of a problem. If a fellow Daoist only needs to bring words into the If it’s in the city, I’ll be the shopkeeper.”

Reward order?

This word Chen Ping is not a good word at first glance.

Isn't that what it means to be a bounty hunter?

Can this go?

It can't.

Even the official forces in the imperial city may not be able to solve the troublesome things, only to post reward orders, which is something I can do.

As for the black market...

Seems more doable.

"What I want is to be aboveboard, not to do evil. Is their way of the black market... serious?" Chen Ping smiled and said.

"Fellow Daoist, you're joking. Although it's a black market there, it still pays attention to reputation." The shopkeeper straightened his body.

Chen Ping continued to inquire about the situation of the black market from the shopkeeper, and wrote down where he could speak for others, where he could buy information, and where he could lead people into the imperial city.

Then leave.

The shopkeeper arranged for a servant to take Chen Ping to the auction house on the grounds that he was worried that Chen Ping could not find his way when he first arrived.

Chen Ping knew that the shopkeeper wanted to make sure that he really signed up for the auction in the way their store recommended, but he didn't expose him. See through but not tell.

It just so happens that someone leads the way, which is great.

The auction house here holds an auction every other month, and the most recent one is seven days later.

Chen Ping spent 5 middle-grade spirit stones and asked for a first-class private room.

After returning to the inn, continue to practice.

Chen Ping has not been idle for the past seven days, and continued to go to various places, and finally found out some information about Bailiye in a brothel.

Bai Liye is a distinguished person, a man from Miyagi, one of the many princes, but a concubine.

There is not much other information, but judging from the limited information, Bailiye's reputation is not bad, and he is a loyal monster.

It basically matches the Baili Ye that Chen Ping knew in Luoyue City.

Chen Ping continued to inquire about Bailiye's situation in Fangshi and other occasions, and he was completely relieved after confirming that he was indeed a good person.

When they were in Luoyue City, the relationship between the two of them was cooperation, and there were conflicts of interest between them, and their personalities could be disguised. But where a person lives for a long time, other people's evaluation of this person is basically true and credible.

If you find out today that Bai Liye is a prince who is unreasonable, contradictory, and has no credibility. Then Chen Ping would definitely give up looking for Baili Ye to obtain the alchemy.

This is the territory of Bailiye, it is actually quite risky for Chen Ping to come here alone. The credibility of Bailiye must be confirmed.

Otherwise he would rather not show up.

Fortunately, the results are good.

Seven days passed in a flash.

Chen Ping went to the auction house very early that day and waited in his private room.

The auction rules here are similar to those in Tianyan City, but because the auctions are held more frequently, there are fewer treasures.

Only one day's schedule.

At noon, Chen Ping finally waited for the alchemy that he was concerned about.

"Fellow daoists, this jade slip is the 'Hunyuan Alchemy Art' specially released by Miyagi for you, and it is also the most widely spread alchemy art in my demon realm. Everyone knows that if the primordial spirit is strong, it is easier to form alchemy." , the state of mind is solid, and the strength is high." The auctioneer introduced.

But the fact is that this kind of alchemy will release one or two yuan every month, so the competition is not too big.

After a while of bidding, Chen Ping bought it at a price of 480 middle-grade spirit stones.

This alchemy is only used as a guarantee.

According to what Bailiye said when he was in Luoyue City, Bailiye still has better alchemy skills.

If one can practice better, then of course the better one is preferred.

Chen Ping came out of the auction house, instead of going back to the inn, he went out of the city and followed the route given by the map, heading east.

Soon they arrived at the black market fifty miles away.

The black market is built on the cliffs along the coast, and various stilted houses are stacked on top of each other, extending for several miles to both sides.

The black market has its rules.

Chen Ping put on his mask as required at the entrance, and then entered the smoky black market. The roads in the black market are very narrow, and the air is very humid with the fishy smell of sea water. The doors of many shops are half-closed, and the lights inside are not lit, so it is not dark.

With added a sense of terror.

On both sides of the narrow road, some masked monks sat on the ground regardless of the wet soil on the ground, with one or two unnamed things placed in front of them.

He grins when he sees someone passing by.

The whole black market looked particularly creepy.

Chen Ping walked his own way silently, and when he encountered stall owners soliciting customers, he just nodded slightly and left.

Finally, he stopped in front of a shop with a wooden door. After knocking on the door, there was no one inside, only an old voice:

"Come in!"

Chen Ping took a breath, walked into the shop calmly, and saw an old man sitting in the corner of the shop by the dim light from outside.

"What do you want to buy, Fellow Daoist? You can choose by yourself." The old man raised his head slightly, then buried himself in his work.

Chen Ping said in a deep voice:

"I want to ask the shopkeeper to bring a word to a prince in Miyagi."

After thinking about it again and again, he decided that it would be better not to rush into the inner three cities. Just send a message and let Bailiye come out by himself.

"Oh?" The old man suddenly stretched out his hand, caught a mosquito flying in the air, threw it into his mouth and started chewing, then turned to look at Chen Ping:

"Tell me."

The corner of Chen Ping's mouth couldn't help shaking. But after thinking about it, this is a demon domain, and it is normal for some monsters who like to eat mosquitoes to appear.

He said blankly:

"Bring it to Bailiye, saying that an old friend from Xihuang is here and staying at the Xianmen Inn."

"Just that sentence?" The old man was taken aback.

"That's all."

"Hmm. 20 medium-grade spirit stones." The old man continued to chew, and green juice flowed out from the corner of his mouth.

"make a deal."

Chen Ping took out the money, paid, and left, all actions were done in one go. Then leave calmly.

Damn.

Really long experience.
