C222 Wooden City
Under the scorching sun, the sand exuded traces of heat. Looking up, it seemed that there was a kind of faint but continuing heat wave floating around the sand under his feet. The soles of the camels' feet left walking marks in the desert.
However, what was strange was that the center of the Western Desert that was surrounded by the desert was just like the south mountains; it was also extremely flourishing. Although it was called Western Desert, it could not be understood literally, Western Desert was only the outer parts of the desert, and not the entire area was covered by the desert.
However, at that time, his Western Desert was truly a desert. There was a powerful Vicious Beast, a Sand Demon, and a Sand Demon that looted the Western Desert, causing the entire area to fall into a state of hell. The entire Western Desert was covered by the desert, and at this time, an old monk from the Western Desert was fighting against the Sand Demon in order to save the calamity.
Even the Great Sage would find it hard to deal with the Sand Demon. In this world of sand, although the Sand Demon was also a Stage of Great Saint, but with the advantage of this terrain, the Great Sage, who was trying to suppress it, was heavily injured and escaped. At that time, the old monk from Dayin Temple was unable to break through, and when he reached the end of his life, he suddenly chose to fight against the Sand Demon, allowing himself to leave a clean sheet of land for the rest of the world. To eliminate the Sand Demon that had looted Western Desert for a few months.
Finally, when the old monk spent a great amount of energy to completely cover the entire Western Desert covered by the desert, the surging sand immediately subsided and retreated all the way to the border of the Western Desert, which created the current scene. The Western Desert was only a desert at the periphery of the desert, and after crossing it, one would reach the true Western Desert.
At this time, at the edge of the desert, there was a caravan of merchants slowly walking along. In the front and back of the caravan were a large number of people, and the sand beasts in the middle carried a large number of cargo boxes, with a rough look, there were probably more than a hundred sand beasts, and it was likely that these goods could be considered to be huge, and this sand beast was a Demon Beast that could be used to transport goods in the desert. Its strength was limited to its Yellow Rank, and its temperament was very docile.
The scorching sun in the sky, the caravan didn't have any intention of stopping, because looking at the green sea in front of them and the huge city erected in the middle of the green sea, the people in the caravan were all slowly relieved. After running for a month, they were finally reaching their destination, and the caravan also slowly quickened their pace, heading towards the huge city.
"Ha, I've finally crossed this desert. I've been running for over a month." At this moment, a young man in the caravan couldn't help but sigh. After a month in the desert, the young man's face was slightly tanned. It was Mu Yi.
Along the way, Mu Yi and Old Man Jiu followed the caravan. After more than a month, they finally walked out of the desert and followed the caravan. It was relatively easier to follow the caravan.
"Bro, it's been hard on you, wait till the Wooden City, I'll treat you to a few pots of wine, haha!" Old Man Jiu said as he gulped down another mouthful of wine. Then, a trace of light flashed across his eyes.
"Hehe, I just want to have a nice hot bath right now." "If you don't bathe for a month, although there is no impurities in your body, even if you sweat, it will only be water vapor and not dirt. But this is a psychological effect, and seeing Old Man Jiu's shining eyes, Mu Yi thought that this old man knows that there is some good wine in Wooden City, otherwise it wouldn't be like this. The only thing that can arouse Old Brother Jiu's interest is wine.
During this period of time, Mu Yi had a rough understanding of the Western Desert's general situation. In terms of Western Desert, the strongest were none other than the Four Great Clans; Beiming Clan, Xia Clan, Chu Clan, and the Cang Clan, however, the Cang Clan had always been relatively low profile and rarely participated in clan battles, and because the three great clans had stepped into the Half-step Void Stage, only the Beiming Clan could compare to them. Even though the Cang Clan was often neutral, and did not fight with the other three clans, they had the three experts of Half-step Void Stage overseeing the Cang Clan.
Wooden City could be considered a bustling city, as they had monopolized a large amount of wood and silk, and their Wooden City was in fact an overlord, controlled by the Huo Family. Furthermore, the Huo Family was already the owner of this Wooden City.
High above the massive city gate hung two words written on it: Wooden City!
It was almost noon and a large amount of people were passing by. In front of the Wooden City, rows and rows of city guards were maintaining order in front of the city gate, and before they even entered the city, they could faintly feel a warm atmosphere.
All kinds of carriages of all kinds and different kinds were travelling in every direction. All kinds of Martial Cultivator were wandering about in the middle of the week, and when they entered the city, they could faintly feel a few powerful auras hidden in the shadows.
"This, all of these chambers of commerce are here." In this Wooden City, the fact that the Tefeng Commerce Chamber and that Purple Peak Pavilion Chamber of Commerce could open a branch in such an obvious location in the center was enough to show that they had a great influence here. The wind that was erected in the Nine Regions Continent and the Purple Peak Pavilion Chamber of Commerce's strength were not for show, being able to exist for so many years, they naturally had their own methods and methods.
"That old man Shangguan Hong's management skills are incomparable. Moreover, these two big companies have been established in the Nine Prefectures for no less than a thousand years. His background is not something that other companies can compare with." Old Man Jiu looked at the merchant guild as he casually spoke.
"Hur hur, that's true. Old Brother Jiu, didn't you say that you have important matters to attend to?" What Old Brother Jiu said was not without reason. In Nine Regions Continent, the strength and financial resources of these two merchant guilds were acknowledged by the entire continent, and the influence they had in Nine Regions Continent was not small.
"Ah, brother, if you didn't say it, I would have forgotten about it. I'm going to meet an old friend, hehe, you can just stroll around here, and maybe find some good stuff there. Walk straight ahead, and then turn left with Treasure Seeking Area." Old Man Jiu pointed ahead as if he did not want Mu Yi to go with him.
"Hehe, Old Man Jiu, go busy yourself with your matters. It's rare for you to come to this Wooden City, you must definitely enjoy it." Mu Yi also knew that this old man definitely wanted to go to an old friend's place to cheat and drink, so he didn't reveal anything. Moreover, this Wooden City, Mu Yi really wanted to look around.
Wooden City was located in the southwest region of the central market. This area, which was composed of Martial Cultivator s that came from all over the place, were in charge of this area, but they had to pay a small fee to do business here, so the people in charge of marketing this place had a monopoly on it. Although other Martial Cultivator s only made up a small part of the market, but this small part of the market was still very popular.
Before going to Taobao, Mu Yi turned around and walked towards the Purple Peak Pavilion Chamber of Commerce behind him. Before leaving the Tazhe City, Shangguan Hong let him be the guest official for Purple Peak Pavilion, in the name of a guest, he could enjoy all kinds of preferential treatment in any Purple Peak Pavilion branch, whether it was purchasing or selling items.
He directly walked into the Purple Peak Pavilion Branch, and at the moment, there were a lot of people inside, and the structure and construction of the Purple Peak Pavilion Chamber of Commerce were basically the same, there were a lot of people in the shopping area on the first floor, after Mu Yi entered, he paused for a bit, and when he saw the reception desk, he walked forward.
"I want to sell a batch of Demon Beast materials. May I ask who is in charge of this?" He walked to the front of the counter and looked at the two young girls. With so many people in the hall, who knows how long it would take if they lined up.
"Hello, if you wish to sell the Demon Beast materials, please wait for a moment. You can queue at the front." One of them, a slightly younger girl, said that anyone who sold materials in the Chamber of Commerce was right. If it was impossible for anyone to see the person in charge, then they would be too busy to do so.
"Sir, I'm sorry, but there are a lot of people here today. If it's inconvenient for you, we can only say we're sorry. Why don't you come back another day?" The other one also smiled. It wasn't just a matter of a day or two in the Chamber of Commerce. There were many people like Mu Yi who wanted to cut the queue and sell the materials, but no one was an exception.
"What happened?" At this moment, a gentle voice was heard.
Mu Yi saw a scholarly looking man dressed in a scholar's attire slowly walk over. Presumably, the commotion here had attracted the attention of this middle-aged man. If it wasn't for Mu Yi sensing the energy fluctuations that came from this person's Core Formation Large Core, he would have thought that this person was a scholar.
"This gentleman wants to see you. I said that you have to wait in line to sell the materials." Seeing this middle-aged man walk over, the two young girls immediately said respectfully.
Oh, my friend, I wonder how many Demon Beast materials you are selling? When he saw Mu Yi's faint smile, the middle-aged man felt that this young man was a bit deep and had a feeling that he couldn't see through him. No matter if it was strength or character, after messing around in the mall for so many years, the middle-aged man, Zhao Kun, had mastered a pair of sharp eyes.
"Hehe, that's hard to say. I can only say that the highest quality Demon Beast materials have Creation Stage." Mu Yi said without hiding anything. He also knew that the most important thing for the Chamber of Commerce was reputation, and then benefits. He believed that the information he revealed would be of interest to them, and that was the only way to open the door.
"What?"
"Creation Stage?"
