Wild boar

Chapter 186 Dingquan Lake

The junction of Chizhou Sand Sea and Yongzhou Qingshan.

There is an oasis deep in the sand sea.

There is a lake in the oasis called Dingquan Lake.

Dingquan Lake is a lake formed by an underground river. There is no river flowing into it on the land surface. The gem-like lake seems to be embedded in the long yellow sand.

This is the dock of Chizhou Shahai.

Traveling merchants from Chizhou would stop here after passing through the long yellow sand. Traveling merchants from Yongzhou would also stop here to replenish supplies for crossing the sand sea if they wanted to go to Chizhou.

The Shang family, one of the 36 aristocratic families of the Tianchi League, sits here. Even though no spiritual grass is planted in the oasis of Dingquan Lake, the Shang family of Dingquan Lake is still ranked among the richest families in the Tianchi League.

About two or three miles away from the Dingquan Lake Oasis, there is a sand city called Shangjia City.

Shangjia City can also draw from underground river water. If there is water, there will naturally be people, and if there are people, there will naturally be a city.

The Dingquan Lake Oasis is the core of the Shang family and is covered by the formation, but the Shang family city is open to everyone.

An escaping light flew from the distance and flew into the cactus bushes.

A woman wearing a silver gauze hat and a pig emerged from the cactus bush.

Bai Yunting was too embarrassed to ride a pig in front of people, so she could only get off the pig in advance in the bushes.

"Zhu Zishan, thank you for your hard work. I will give you a good meal when you enter Shangjia City." Bai Yunting said cautiously.

"Huh huh huh..." The wild boar snorted to indicate that it was okay.

Bai Yunting led Zhu Zishan into Shangjia City following the flow of people.

Bai Yunting found a restaurant in the city, Zuixianlou.

Bai Yunting ordered a small private room in Zuixian Tower.

We ordered sumptuous food and wine in the private room for Zhu Zishan to enjoy alone.

"Zhu Zishan, I want to go out to find the Bai family members. Don't leave this private room!" Bai Yunting explained.

"Hmm..." Zhu Zishan was busy enjoying the food and just hummed.

"Zhu Zishan, remember not to run around. There are many monks in Shangjia City. If others mistake you for a wild monster, be careful of being caught and collared!" Bai Yunting said in a threatening tone.

"Don't worry, I know." The wild boar said in human language.

"Then I'll leave first and come back to find you later." Bai Yunting said.

"Wait! Don't you want to leave without eating?" the wild boar said while chewing the meatballs.

eat!
Sharing the same table with you?
Sharing a table with pigs...

Bai Yunting's color suddenly changed.

"Zhu Zishan, you should enjoy it alone." Bai Yunting left the private room and ran away...

Drunken House.

After Bai Yunting used five spiritual stones to pay for the food in Zhu Zishan's private room, she clasped her fists with a smile and asked: "Excuse me, this shopkeeper, have you seen a group of monks in white clothes in the past few days? There are so many of them, maybe hundreds of them. The remaining people behave in a rather miserable and miserable manner, and may be on the run..."

"Girl, please go and ask elsewhere. Our place is Zuixian Tower, a place for drinking, eating meat, and listening to music. Why would a down-and-out monk come here?" The shopkeeper with the goatee said with a smile on his face.

"I'm sorry, I didn't think well, please leave!" Bai Yunting turned and left.

Long stay inn.

Bai Yunting broke into it and left disappointed.

Shagang Inn.

Bai Yunting broke into it and left disappointed.

People are more important than buildings.

Bai Yunting broke into it and left disappointed.

……

Bai Yunting spent half an hour looking for several inns, but found nothing in restaurants.

The Bai family came here from Yongzhou, so it was impossible not to rest in a hotel or inn.

Could it be that they never came to Shangjia City?Bai Yunting, who was frowning and thinking, saw a black three-story building at the corner of the street. The entrance of the building was covered with black cloth.

There was a big word "DANG" written on the black cloth.

Baili Pawn Shop.

The only pawnshop in Shangjia City.

The people of the Bai family fled to Chizhou in a hurry and had to pass through the Chihai Desert. They must be poorly prepared. In order to leave smoothly, they must raise spiritual stones.

Although the Bai family does not have many spiritual stones in their hands, they have emptied the White Castle treasure house, so they must have a large number of treasures in their hands.

So in order to raise urgently needed spiritual stones, they would naturally go to the pawn shop to pawn a few useless treasures.

Think about this.

Bai Yunting decisively broke into the pawn shop.

As soon as he entered the pawn shop, he was greeted warmly by Xiao Si.

"Girl, please go inside." Xiao Si, a pawnbroker in white, saw Bai Yunting and took her inside without saying a word.

Soon we came to a unique courtyard.

There is an elegant old man in the room in the small courtyard. The wall behind him is covered with books, and he himself is holding a book and studying it carefully.

"Master... the guests have arrived." Xiaosi said with his fists clasped.

The elegant old man looked at Bai Yunting and said with a kind face: "Miss, please sit down. I am the treasure appraiser of Baili Pawn Shop. May I ask what treasure you want to pawn?"

"Master, to be honest, I am not here to pawn treasures." Bai Yunting said with a red face.

"Oh... why did that girl come to my pawn shop?" the treasure appraiser asked with a frown.

"I would like to ask Master, have you seen any embarrassed monks in white clothes pawning treasures in your store in the past few days?" Bai Yunting asked politely.

"Hahahaha... Excuse me, girl, who can go to a pawn shop to sell treasures, who is not in a miserable state? Please, girl!" The treasure appraiser stretched out his hand as a farewell gesture.

Bai Yunting's face turned redder with embarrassment.

It's not that she doesn't know how to do this kind of thing, it's just that she's too shy to do it.

Now she had to do it for the sake of the Bai family.

Fortunately, this was a quiet room, and no outsiders were present, so no one would know that she had done such a shameless thing.

Bai Yunting stretched out her hand like lightning...

A medium-grade spiritual stone landed on the treasure appraiser's outstretched right palm.

The treasure appraiser's eyes lit up.

The hand that saw off the guest retracted like lightning.

Putting on his long sleeves, he put away the middle-grade spiritual stone.

"Hey hey hey..."

A smile appeared on the treasure appraiser's old face, and Bai Yunting, who was blushing with shame, also laughed with her.

"Um...what did the girl just ask?" the treasure appraiser asked again with a smile.

Hearing this, Bai Yunting also had a look of astonishment. It turned out that this person didn't listen carefully just now. No wonder those hotels and inns said they had never seen anyone with the Bai clan name.

If you don’t give me any benefits, who will care about you! ?

This is called sophistication.

Bai Yunting could only clasp her fists and continue: "Master, I would like to ask if any people from the Bai clan have come to pledge their treasures in recent times?"

The treasure appraiser stroked his white beard, and after thinking for a moment, he said: "Living pawns can be redeemed for items, so they must be registered. I remember that there is no one with the surname Bai, but there have been quite a few dead pawns in recent times. The money is delivered and there are no registration rules, so I don’t know the names of these people.”

"May I ask, Master, if you can remember what treasures there are?" Bai Yunting asked with her fists clasped.

"There are three treasures..." the treasure appraiser said, stroking his beard.

"The first item is a formation disk. The materials used are quite precious and the age is extremely old. It should undoubtedly be the formation disk of a certain mountain-protecting formation. Unfortunately, there is no formation base. This formation disk can only be used as a dismantled material. After disassembly, , the precious materials are extremely depleted and are really not worth any spiritual stones." The treasure appraiser shook his head and said.
