Picked up a dark secret martial world

Chapter 88 Ask for advice on making money!

After listening to what Sun Changlong and Hu Jinsheng said, Han Ze was silent for a long time.

That ghost place in Longshan County was full of temple monsters and all kinds of weird things happened one after another, making him exhausted.

The Fucheng side is on the other extreme. Here, dragons and tigers dominate, and various forces are intertwined. If you are not careful, you may die without a burial place.

He repeatedly warned himself in his heart that he must keep a low profile!

Then they asked for information about the techniques and secret techniques, but because the time was too short, they had not had time to inquire.

After eating, the group of people arrived at the house in the southwest of the city.

The terrain of Wulin Prefecture is not square like Longshan County, but is shaped like a teardrop from east to west, with the Grand Canal next to the southwest.

This is a place where ordinary wealthy people live. It has beautiful scenery, various places of interest, and many temples and Taoist temples nearby. The dignitaries in the city will come here for outings in their spare time, so the security here is very good.

The city defense guards, composed of warriors from the Kaimai Realm and the Flesh and Bone Realm, patrol the city 24 hours a day.

A warrior of this level is enough to suppress those gangsters and those martial arts figures who come and go.

As for warriors above Kai Pulse Realm, these people are all dignified figures and generally don't bother to do petty theft. If they really want to commit a crime, it is not something that ordinary city defense soldiers can resist.

As for those lonely ghosts, they naturally dare not wreak havoc on the human world.

The rent of houses here is naturally very expensive. The monthly rent of the large house he rents is as high as 60 taels, which is dozens of times that of Longshan County.

Therefore, it is not easy to live in Fucheng!

After everyone settled down, Han Ze began to think about joining the sect.

Needless to say, there are advantages to joining a sect. First of all, you have a backer. Most people will not dare to touch you. Otherwise, in a den like Fucheng, you will be targeted by someone who is interested in you soon.

Secondly, there are exercises and secret techniques. These are things that various sects and organizations rely on for their survival. Most people cannot learn them at all. Even if they spend money to buy them, they can only buy things like "Subduing Demon Qi Jing" and "Iron Sand". Palm" such low-level skills and secret techniques.

Especially internal skills, secrets above the yellow level are basically in the hands of major organizations and aristocratic sects.

Another point is that if you don't join a sect, you can only explore the cultivation methods on your own. When you encounter problems, there will be no one to explain your doubts to you, so you can only do it behind closed doors.

If one day the practice goes too far and one day one goes crazy, he or she will die without knowing how.

Judging from what Hu Jinsheng learned, [Wugou Sea] is the most strict in accepting disciples, while [Zhenyuan Sect], [White Jade Tower], and [Qingyang Temple] are slightly better, but they also have rigid requirements, the most important of which is The term is age.

Basically, they require you to be no more than 18 years old.

Anyway, he had nothing to do, so he decided to go take a look, but when he asked again, he found out that all four martial arts schools were in the inner city.

Outsiders who want to go to the inner city must change the route a week in advance, otherwise they are not allowed to enter.

No choice but to wait.

Wang Fugui was asked to change the route, while Han Ze spent the next week wandering around the outer city with a few fanatic believers armed with live ammunition every day after practicing.

As for other fanatical believers, he specially hired several martial arts masters to exercise at home every day and beat their muscles and bones.

Although they are not expected to become martial arts masters, after practicing martial arts, they have become stronger and can press the assault rifle more steadily when using it, which will undoubtedly greatly improve their combat effectiveness.

Moreover, practicing martial arts itself is also something that can cultivate loyalty and centripetal force!
The outer city is very huge. During this period, he flew a drone to the sky to take a look around. It is indeed the largest city in the southwest of Dacang. The large business circle in Guangcheng West is estimated to cover an area of ​​dozens of square kilometers, with various residential buildings. There are countless restaurants, restaurants and shops. There are also various religions and people on the streets.

He soon found the "long-distance station" in the east of the city and saw the legendary lion and camel beast.

The lion's face is similar to that of a lion, and its body is very large. Lying there, it really looks like a commercial airliner.

According to the staff inside, the body length of the lion camel reaches a terrifying 27 meters, and its wingspan reaches an astonishing 30 meters when it flies.

In the long-distance station, there are "miniature houses" placed one after another.

From the staff, we learned that these miniature houses are specially designed for passengers. When they set off, the lion beasts will carry the miniature houses on their backs, and the passengers will sit in the miniature houses. Otherwise, ordinary people will not be able to bear the strong wind at high altitudes.

Han Ze's heart skipped a beat when he heard this.

Then when I asked about the price, I was immediately surprised. From Wulin Mansion to Dacang Capital, the starting price was 1000 taels.

According to the purchasing power of money in this world, that is, 100 million!
Seeing the "surprised" expression on Han Ze's face, the trainer said arrogantly: "It's natural to be expensive! Not to mention that it is thousands of miles away from Wulin Mansion to the Imperial Capital. Ordinary people can't find it in their lifetime. Beyond that, just taming a lion and camel beast is also an extremely expensive expense."

"It needs to be fed a variety of high-quality feeds, and its appetite is huge. One meal can eat an average person's three months' worth of food. Of course, one meal can last ten days and a half."

"In addition, during the flight, in order to withstand the severe cold and strong winds at high altitude, a large amount of crystal pills need to be fed, which is also a huge expense."

When Han Ze heard this, he suddenly understood and asked: "How often do you fly to the imperial capital?"

Animal Tamer: "Usually once a month, we gather ten people to set off. After all, it is not cost-effective to have a small number of people! Of course, if there are big customers who want to hire animals, you can also set off in advance."

"Bao Beast...how much is it? 1 taels?"

"There are discounts for big customers, usually 9000 taels is enough."

"That's it."

Han Ze nodded and couldn't help but marvel in his heart.

Even for him, 9000 taels is not a small amount, and for ordinary people, it is an unimaginable astronomical figure.

However, when I think about the long journey from Longxi to Fucheng, there are many dangers on the road, and it is extremely far from Fucheng to the imperial capital. With such a long distance, I don’t know how many difficulties and obstacles I will encounter during the journey. Riding the lion camel beast can save countless hours. trouble.

He turned around to leave the long-distance station. When he reached the door, he turned around and asked, "By the way, how much does it cost to go to Longshan County in Longxi?"

The animal trainer checked the atlas to find out where Longshan County was, and then said: "There is no inn in Longshan County, so we can only go to Qixia County next door. The price is 300 taels for a single person and 2800 taels for a pack of animals."

"understood."

……

While practicing martial arts, cultivating fanatics, and getting to know the city, Han Ze continued to bring gold, tea, and newly discovered spices back to the real world in the form of ants moving every day.

Speaking of spices, he recently discovered a treasure store that sells all kinds of top-quality spices. Just like the Xueluo tea and Kongling tea he drank before, it makes people feel like they are actually there after smelling it. .

For example, "Miao Wu Qing Ge", "Feng Xiao Luan Guan", "Mountain Flowing Water", "Golden Arms and Iron Horse", "Yangchun White Snow", "Lin Lai Quan Yun" and so on.

He handled the gold himself and left the tea to Tao Dawei to operate. As for the spices, he didn't think of letting anyone develop and sell them because they were too expensive and ordinary people couldn't afford them.

The price of spices was more expensive than the same amount of gold, so he didn't hoard much and only bought a few kilograms in total.

People eat horse chews, and he spends money like water every day. The 2 taels of silver notes he used to sell pocket watches in Longshan County have decreased at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Han Ze used to bring some miscellaneous things from the real world, but later he just brought all the silver ingots, but it was a drop in the bucket because he could only carry 5 kilograms at a time, which was only 100 taels, which was only one-third of a bottle of low-level crystals. Dan.

So we have to find other ways to make money.

In fact, there are many ways to make money in other worlds. Many things in the real world can make a lot of money if you bring them to other worlds, such as pearls.

He was surprised to find out in another jewelry store that pearls in this world are very expensive and in great demand. From the royal ladies to the common women and children, they all like to use pearl products. In addition to wearing them, they also use them. Use it to make tea, apply it to your skin, and make a variety of other products.

The price of products using pearls has also been rising.

Let's put it this way, a bowl of tofu curd costing one penny, with a pinch of pearl powder added to it, can be sold for 100 pence.

As we all know, the price of pearls in the real world is very cheap, and they are all weighed by the kilogram...

But the problem now is that he has just arrived and has no backing in Fucheng, and those profitable businesses are all connected by intricate forces. He does not dare to intervene in those profitable businesses at will.

Otherwise, when you wake up, you might be at the bottom of the Grand Canal.

So after much deliberation, I can only continue to cooperate with Haolanxuan.

It's just that I was in a hurry last time and forgot to ask for their contact information in Fucheng, so I didn't know where to find them for a while?

……

The week flew by.

Early in the morning on the eighth day, Han Ze took a road guide and rode a carriage into the inner city.

Inspections in the inner city are very strict. Everyone needs to check their household registration address and road directions in detail, and they are also asked what they are doing when they enter the inner city. Some people who look obscene will be pulled aside for individual interrogation.

Han Ze naturally entered the inner city smoothly.

As far as the eye can see, it is obviously very different from the outer city. First of all, the buildings are more magnificent, the roads are wider, and six carriages can drive side by side in both directions. The blue stones paved on the ground are spotless and polished. The light was bright and shimmering in the morning sun.

The shops on both sides of the street also look more high-end and elegant. You can tell at a glance that they serve the rich. People without money will feel a sense of inferiority just by looking at the shiny shop fronts.It can also be seen from the dress of the people entering and leaving the store that they are obviously more decent and luxurious than the people in the outer city. Even the appearance of the women on the street has improved to a higher level than those in the outer city.

However, it has to be said that to be the largest state capital in the southwest of Dacang, Wulin Prefecture does have many wealthy people. With such strict restrictions, the streets are still busy with traffic and constant flow.

The carriage driver took Han Ze to the nearest martial arts gym - [White Jade Tower]

As expected, there was a long queue at the door early in the morning, everyone holding a number plate in their hands, waiting to be called in.

The youngest of those queuing up was only five or six years old, and the oldest was only seventeen or eighteen years old. There was no young or middle-aged person like him.

I asked in the past and it turned out to be a good idea. Over 18 years old will not be accepted...

Han Ze stepped forward and tried to ask: "Hello, I am already in the middle stage of the membrane realm. Can you relax the age limit?"

A young man in his 20s glanced at him and asked expressionlessly: "How old are you this year? Don't lie. We have a way to measure your bone age."

Han Ze had no choice but to tell the truth: "That... is 29 years old."

"What? 29?" When the young man heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned.

Several Baiyulou disciples around the young man laughed loudly.

"You only reached the middle stage of Skin Membrane Realm at the age of 29. How dare you come to our White Jade Tower?"

"Let's go, let's go quickly..."

Han Ze left with an embarrassed look on his face amidst the roar of laughter from everyone.

After he got on the carriage, the embarrassment on his face disappeared, and a smile appeared on his lips.

"If people in the real world knew that one against ten, Master Han, who is said to have mastered his boxing skills to the point of perfection, was actually being mercilessly ridiculed for his low martial arts skills, what would his expression be like?"

The more he thought about it, the more funny it became, and he started laughing.

After leaving Baiyu Tower, he came to another martial arts gym [Zhenyuanmen], which was not far away.

Like Baiyu Tower, a long queue formed at the entrance of Zhenyuan Gate early, with countless children and young people waiting expectantly.

Han Ze also went up to ask, but not surprisingly, he was ridiculed and told to get away as far as he could.

Then there is [Qingyang Temple].

Qingyang Temple thought it was a Taoist temple after hearing its name, but in fact it was not. It was a sect named after a place.

Qingyangguan is the name of an island on the southeastern coast of Dacang. It is covered with clouds and fog all year round, and only at certain times will a strange celestial phenomenon - "Qingyang Shining on the Moon" - appear.

It is said that this kind of celestial phenomenon can help high-level warriors realize their enlightenment, so many warriors from the Central Plains area have gone there.

In order to protect their own interests, these warriors in the Central Plains established the [Qingyang Temple].

The number of applicants at the entrance of Qingyangguan is much less than that of the previous two. From this point of view, the market popularity is not as high as the first two.

Perhaps for this reason, there is no particular age limit.

But even so, when he heard that Han Ze was 29 years old, the person in charge of registering personal information at the door had a strange expression on his face.

After registering, the person in charge of Mustache took out a list and handed it over: "Here are the tuition fees and other miscellaneous fees that need to be paid. If there are no problems, come with the money at eight o'clock the day after tomorrow to formally register. "

"Uh, okay!"

Han Ze took the list and left the team, turned around and picked it up to look at it.

Tuition fee plus food fee, tutoring fee, teaching material fee, clothing fee, etc., the total tuition fee for a year is 500 taels.

Han Ze was a little surprised. 500 taels was not a small amount.

But then it’s normal to think about it.

This tuition fee is indeed an unimaginable astronomical figure for ordinary people, but for the rich people in Fucheng, it is nothing.

Think about it, in the real world, the tuition fees for children from wealthy families who attend aristocratic private schools are far more than 50 yuan a year.

Especially those that are co-founded with famous foreign universities and go to famous foreign universities directly after graduating from junior high school and high school. Even if you have money, you cannot get in just because you want to, and you have to go through a qualification review.

Come here, Han Ze simply went to [Wugou Sea] again

Wuguhai is on another street. This street is relatively quiet with few pedestrians. The shops along the street sell pens, inks, paper and inkstones, antique calligraphy and paintings, and some religious supplies.

There are so many different sects in this world, and the government doesn't care much about them, mainly because they can't control them.

Han Ze went all the way to the door of Wugou Sea, only to find that the door was closed and not opened at all.

But there were still people lining up at the gate waiting for the opportunity, and there were quite a few of them.

Han Ze walked over to ask about the specific situation, but those people all remained silent and looked wary, obviously afraid that he would steal their "opportunity".

Including people on the road, he just walked over, and they waved again and again.

He then turned and walked towards an antique shop not far next door.

Han Ze casually asked for an ordinary landscape painting for 50 taels of silver, and then asked the boss: "Boss, I want to ask you something, when will Wuguhai open?"

The boss, who is in his fifties, has a mustache and looks like a profiteer, obviously often encounters customers like Han Ze.

However, seeing Han Ze on the road like this, he said cheerfully: "Usually it's nine o'clock in the morning. If there is something wrong in the museum, it may not be until noon."

Han Ze asked again: "Then do they have a specific standard for accepting disciples?"

The profiteer boss smiled and did not answer. Instead, he pointed to a landscape painting on the wall with a price of 100 taels of silver and said, "Sir, I think this painting is quite good. What do you think?"

"Old guy, what a thief!" Han Ze cursed secretly. Two taels of silver for that broken painting was too much for him. He said with a smile on his face: "It's really good. Please help me wrap it up, boss."

As he spoke, he took out a 100-tael silver note from his pocket and placed it on the counter.

Anyway, as long as he can find a strong backer, making money is easier than breathing for him.

The profiteer boss picked up the banknote and looked at it. When he found that it was OK, he smiled from ear to ear. He wrapped up the landscape painting and didn't even give it to him. He handed it over and said with a smile: "How can I accept a disciple?" What standard? The so-called opportunity is just a rumor, it just depends on your mood!"

"If you're in a good mood, just give it up. If you're in a bad mood, there's no chance."

Han Ze: "...Is it really that simple?"

The profiteer boss chuckled and said: "That's right! After all, you need to be enlightened after entering the martial arts gym. If you have martial arts talent, they will naturally accept you as a formal disciple without you having to talk about it, and you will be exempted from all tuition and fees; if you don't have martial arts talent, they will accept you as a formal disciple without any further explanation. Talent, even if they want to keep you, you won't be able to stay long. After all, the tuition for an ordinary apprentice is very expensive. If you can't become a formal disciple, you have to pay for all the expenses yourself."

When Han Ze heard this, he suddenly realized that this was indeed the truth.

The reason why some students with ordinary family conditions sign up at these martial arts schools is actually hoping that they will have martial arts talent, so that they can be exempted from tuition and fees.

He then asked: "Excuse me, boss, do ordinary disciples and formal disciples learn the same things? Can they learn advanced internal skills and secret techniques?"

The profiteer boss looked at him and said amusedly: "You don't look stupid at all. How could you ask such a stupid question? What do you think?"

"Haha... I don't think it's possible either!"

Han Ze laughed twice, and then asked: "Boss, which of the four martial arts schools, Zhenyuanmen, Baiyulou, Qingyang Temple, and Wuguhai, do you think is the most worth studying?"

The profiteer boss's smile faded a bit and he said: "In principle, this painting can only answer two questions, but because you are more sincere, I will give you one more question."

"If you can't become a formal disciple, there is no difference between these four families. If you are sure to become a formal disciple, then there is no doubt that you will be Wugou Hai."

"Why? Is it because Wu Guhai's martial arts is the most powerful?"

"Of course not! Whether one's martial arts is good or not depends on one's talent and hard work, but there is something about Wugou Sea that few others can match."

"Oh, where?"

The profiteer boss casually picked up a rotten stone sculpture and said, "This is the masterpiece of a certain stone carving master. Do you like it?"

Han Ze was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "I like it. Wrap it up for me!"

The profiteer boss suddenly smiled from ear to ear, "Chenghui 100 taels."

　ps: There is still a chapter that has not been revised yet.Let’s wait until noon.
