Yuan Tianzun
Chapter 7
Chapter 7
Unhurriedly, Wu Yuan walked through several busy streets and several small alleys, from the east of the city where the martial arts academy was located to the west of the city.
Licheng, as the core of "Licheng County", has a registered population of nearly 20 and a permanent population of nearly 30. Looking at the whole Namco, it is a "big city".
Since Hengyunzong ruled this land for hundreds of years, a pattern of 'rich in the east and rich in the west, poor in the north and low in the south' has gradually formed.
Such as the Junzong Wuyuan, the County Guard's Mansion, and the General's Mansion are basically located in the east of the city.
On the other hand, the west of the city is a luxurious place, where merchants gather, all kinds of entertainment, juggling, brothels and restaurants gather here.
"Licheng is a wharf city. The Nanlong River flows from the west of the city to the north of the city. There are a lot of people coming and going. It seems that although my Wu family belongs to the 'north of the city', it is also close to the west of the city." Wu Yuan is quite familiar with the layout of Licheng. .
This has always been his habit. Every time he goes to a place, he must first be familiar with the geography and human relations.
"The west of the city is considered a 'commercial area', and it is also a gold-selling cave. There are often stories of rich and rich merchants spending a lot of money in the east of the city." Wu Yuan glanced at the people coming and going on both sides of the street along the way.
Observe the expressions of different people.
Different from the desolation in the east of the city, and also different from the "hawkers and merchants" in the north of the city, although the area in the west of the city is prosperous, it is obviously of a higher grade, with more shops along the street, and the clothes of pedestrians are generally better.
In the end, Wu Yuan came to the place where the most prosperous streets in the west of the city converged. From a distance, he saw the seven-storey building occupying an extremely wide area and standing on two streets - Qunxing Building!
It is different from the 'signboard' of ordinary shops.
The plaque of this high-rise building is like a gilt painting, with no words, only a few meteors streaking across it, which looks extremely unique.
"There are all things in the world in all directions, and the stars and everything are gathered in the building." Wu Yuan glanced at the golden characters on the bluestones erected on both sides of the main entrance.
The font is strong and powerful, and the pen is as sharp as an arrow!
It doesn't look like it was engraved by a craftsman, but more like a martial arts expert left it with a deep finger.
"The blue is red, this is the blood-streaked bluestone that is a specialty of 'Minzhou'? These two big stones, each weighs 10,000+ catties." Wu Yuan thought to himself.
There are sixteen states in the world, except for the three distant overseas states.
The thirteen states in Central China are further divided into 'seven states in the Central Plains and six states in Zhuyi'.
Each prefecture is vast and vast. Jiangzhou and Minzhou are separated by Chuzhou. According to Wu Yuan's knowledge of geography, the two sides are tens of thousands of miles away.
"Just transporting these two stones from Minzhou to Jiangzhou may cost tens of thousands of taels of silver." Wu Yuan was slightly emotional.
There are no airplanes and railways here, and this alone is enough to reveal the astonishing financial resources of the 'Star Building'.
Of course, Wu Yuan was not surprised either.
Although he has only been sober for more than a month, he has also heard the name of 'Quanxinglou', which is the undisputed number one firm in the seven states of the Central Plains!
There are hundreds of sects in the seven states of the Central Plains, and any county has its own branch building. The items sold are all-encompassing. Whether it is magical weapons, pearls, antiques, or elixirs, most of the rare things can be found. .
Even if you can't find it for a while, as long as you are willing to pay a lot of money, even if it is thousands of miles away, Qunxinglou can deliver it!
Just like the engraving on its stone tablet, "things in the world gather in the building".
"Even the banknotes circulated in the seven states of the Central Plains are issued by the 'Stars Bank' of the Qunxing Building." Wu Yuan recalled the special anti-counterfeiting mark marked with the word 'Stars' on his banknotes.
In fact, most of the hundreds of sects in various countries also have their own Yinzhuang, but the credibility is far inferior to Qunxinglou. Once they leave the territory controlled by their own, they basically cannot be used.
After all, the largest country in the world, the 'Great Jin', has only been established for 200 years, and it is difficult for some martial arts saints to pass on undefeated for a thousand years.
The Qunxing Building has a history of thousands of years and has never declined.
"This group of star towers is simply a 'financial empire' spanning hundreds of sects in various countries." Wu Yuan sighed.
He understands that to be able to stand for thousands of years, the backs of these star towers are by no means simple, and they will not be weaker than some great powers and holy sects.
Wu Yuan came here precisely because he knew how powerful Qunxinglou was.
"Although Qunxing Building occupies a large area, there are not too many guests." Wu Yuan glanced at the guests.
However, most of these guests were dressed in rich clothes, obviously either rich or expensive.
To describe it in one sentence, the customers of Qunxing Building are usually the 'upper class' in a county.
The unit quantity is small, but the unit price is high!
"That's right, if the tentacles go deep into the bottom, even the bottom business must be seized, I'm afraid, hundreds of sects in all countries will not tolerate it." Wu Yuan looked down at his clothes, and frowned slightly: "I haven't thought carefully."
Compared with the other guests who entered and exited the Qunxing Building, Wu Yuan's dress was too plain and conspicuous.
After all, he didn't have much money before, how could he have good clothes?
call!
Wu Yuan didn't stop at all, and walked directly through the Star Tower, blending into the crowd.
soon.
A chunky young man in blue brocade clothes and a felt hat walked into the building of stars, looking very inconspicuous. It was Wu Yuan who had changed his clothes again.
"The place is bigger than I expected." Wu Yuan looked at the interior of Qunxing Building, the decoration is not luxurious, but tasteful.
In the past, he only heard about this building, but never entered it.
Of course, such a scene is not enough to make Wu Yuan's face change. As a member of the highest society in the Human Federation in the past, what can he see compared to the Stars Tower in an ancient county town?
The first floor is vast, with many counters selling different items, many guys, and special guards with knives.
From Wu Yuan's eyes, the weakest of these guards were probably seventh-rank warriors.
The strength of Qunxinglou can be seen.
With a glance, Wu Yuan walked directly to the stairs on one side, as if he was familiar with the road, he went directly up the stairs to the second floor.
On the second floor, there are fewer counters, but the items are more precious.
But Wu Yuan didn't stop, and went directly to the stairs on the third floor.
On the first and second floors, ordinary items are sold. Although some luxury goods are expensive, they are not beneficial to martial arts cultivation.
The third floor is dedicated to selling all kinds of things needed by warriors, such as magic weapons!Such as elixir!
These messages, of course, are not recorded in the martial arts school's classics, but some of the information summarized by Wu Yuan during the chats and exchanges with many martial arts school disciples over the past month.
"Guest officer stay here."
The clerk in the corridor politely stopped Wu Yuan: "If you want to go to the third floor, you need to verify your capital or identity."
"Are these enough?" Wu Yuan flipped his palms, and some banknotes emerged.
"I'm sorry." The clerk even lowered his head, slightly startled in his heart, the stack of bank notes might be as much as a thousand taels.
So young, with so many bank notes?
Which family's son?
The waiter didn't dare to ask more questions, but Wu Yuan had already stepped up to the third floor, where there were fewer customers, fewer counters, it looked very empty, and the decoration was even more luxurious.
"Guest officer, what do you need?" A beautiful maid in purple came up to him.
These maids are not coquettish, unlike the prostitution of brothel women, they do not have a youthful vigor.
This is a treatment that has never been available on the first and second floors.
"Body Tempering Pill." Wu Yuan spat out three words, which was the purpose of his trip.
"This way please." The purple-clothed maid smiled and quickly led Wu Yuan into a single reception room.
Wu Yuan took his seat, and another maid served the tea.
A middle-aged man in a black robe was already sitting on one side of the desk. His desk and chair were obviously shorter than Wu Yuan's, appearing very respectful.
"Guest officer, Body Tempering Pill is an auxiliary pill used by warriors to temper their bodies and strengthen their martial arts. It has strong medicinal effects, but its side effects are also obvious. I don't know..." The middle-aged man in black robe quickly explained.
"Don't say too much, let's talk about the price." Wu Yuan's voice was extremely hoarse, showing a trace of indifference, as if he didn't want to say more.
"it is good."
"Top-grade Body Tempering Pill 50 taels each! Mid-Rank Body Tempering Pill [-] taels!" The black-robed middle-aged man said calmly, "I don't know how much the guest officer wants?"
"What about low grade?" Wu Yuan asked back.
"Inferior?" The black-robed middle-aged man was slightly taken aback, and couldn't help but said, "Guest officer, the lower-rank Body Tempering Pill has many impurities and has great side effects. It is usually used for..."
"I do things, so you don't need to talk too much." Wu Yuan frowned and said coldly: "Just talk about the price."
"One tael of silver, two!" said the middle-aged man in the black robe.
"I want a thousand pieces!" Wu Yuan said directly.
This time.
Not only the middle-aged man in black, but even the specially trained maid in purple was a little surprised.
Low-grade Body Tempering Pill?A thousand pieces?
"Guest officer, we can't sell it." The middle-aged man in black robe said with a wry smile.
"What? Do you think I don't have enough money? Is this the attitude of Qunxinglou towards guests?" Wu Yuan frowned slightly.
"No." The middle-aged man in black robe shook his head: "It's because we don't have so many low-grade body tempering pills here."
He didn't explain much, the essence of the low-grade Body Tempering Pill is 'waste pill'.
It is better to say it is a chronic poison than a elixir.
Therefore, when Qunxinglou has accumulated a certain amount of low-grade Body Tempering Pills, it will be destroyed in a centralized manner, and naturally the accumulation is not much.
"As many as there are, I want them all." Wu Yuan said bluntly.
……
Only a quarter of an hour later, Wu Yuan, who brought 680 seven Body Tempering Pills, left Qunxing Tower.
