The years when I explored the fairyland

This is a long straight street.

The road is paved with bluestone, the steps are made of white jade, and there are faint clouds and mists, like a fairy or a painting.

The buildings on both sides are all red walls and white tiles, with flying eaves and brackets. From a distance, they are lined up in rows, with ancient style and charm.

Looking carefully, all you can see are shops, with plaques hanging high and flags flying in the wind.

There are many pedestrians on the road. Although it is not to the point of rubbing shoulders with each other, those shops are also crowded with people.

Looking closely, there are shops selling elixirs, magic weapons, talismans, array plates, spiritual rice shops, mount shops, fairy clothes shops, puppet Taoist soldiers...

There are also some specialized shops, such as various vehicles, flying magic weapons; there are customized flying swords, tailor-made; there are natural treasures and various minerals; there are bookshops and small shops selling methods.

Chu Zhou even saw a Gu insect shop. On the plaque, a centipede-like insect with six pairs of wings was crawling, which was so vivid that it made people's scalps numb.

There were also various statues of gods, incense, ingots, and shrines in the shop. It was actually a Shinto shop.

Of course, if you want to ask about the biggest and most eye-catching signs, it must be "Money House" and "Pawn Shop".

Chu Zhou strolled on the street and couldn't help but take a deep breath, and even felt a freshness after the rain.

"Is this the Treasure Pavilion?"

Chu Zhou turned his head and saw that there was a person standing next to him, who was the Great Immortal Jie Yin.

"What, are you disappointed?"

"It's not disappointment, it's just that I don't understand. Where is the 'pavilion' here? It's clearly a city?"

"The Treasure Pavilion you are looking for is also there. Look in the distance!"

The Great Immortal Jieyin pointed with his whisk. Chu Zhou looked and saw that the clouds in the sky had dispersed. The vision was clear and a towering pavilion could be vaguely seen.

"That is the real Treasure Pavilion. At the beginning, the Heavenly Court wanted to build a trading platform for you, so it created it.

However, more and more people came later, and the levels were different.

So, the Treasure Pavilion began to expand continuously, and there were shops here, forming this fairy city."

"Although there is no official certification, people here like to regard that building as the Treasure Pavilion, and this city is called the City of Ten Thousand Immortals."

"The City of Ten Thousand Immortals is really appropriate!"

"Later, the Heavenly Court decentralized the management rights. As long as you are qualified, you can open a store here and sell goods, so that this place is more and more prosperous. "

Chu Zhou became interested: "What does this so-called 'qualification' mean?"

"People like you, the Lord of the Secret Realm, are qualified to rent a store, but every transaction must be certified by the Treasure Pavilion.

In other words, from the goods to the selling price to various channels, they must be supervised by the Treasure Pavilion. Generally speaking, of course, it doesn't matter, but there are some taboos that cannot be violated."

"Is it so strict?"

"This is a good thing, because with official certification, fakes are eliminated, and you dare to buy and sell boldly and with confidence."

"That's right, only in this way can the transaction be credible!"

Chu Zhou thought about it and couldn't help but Zhu asked again: "However, decentralizing the management rights is not the same as exclusive trading. Wouldn't the Heavenly Court suffer heavy losses?"

The Great Immortal Jie Yin tilted his head slightly and said: "Do you think the Heavenly Court cares about these interests?"

"Don't you care?"

"What the Heavenly Court does is to make the immortal way prosperous and the civilization flourish. As for the tiny bit of profit, it is really not what the Heavenly Court cares about.

Moreover, the Heavenly Court can make more money by decentralizing the management rights. The plate is bigger and there are more transactions. The rent of shops and the tax collection of transactions are all rising."

It seems that Chu Zhou's doubts made the Great Immortal Jie Yin unhappy. He flicked his whisk and said: "Okay, you just do this. This is your chance. Next time you can come alone.

Ask some useful questions and go through the necessary procedures. Don't worry about others. "

"Oh, okay, Immortal, who wants this demon-possessed Canglong?"

"Of course it has to be the Buddhist sect. The Buddhist sect emphasizes salvation and likes to refine guardian gods the most!"

"So, I'm looking for the largest Buddhist shop."

"The first floor of the Treasure Pavilion. The largest Buddhist shop must be the Tens of Thousands of Buddhist Sects."

...

The Treasure Pavilion is very large and is divided into layers. Going up along the Treasure Pavilion, you can enter the second, third, and even fourth floors.

There are naturally certain restrictions on different levels. Not everyone can cross the boundaries at will. Even the great powers above cannot come down at will.

This design did not exist from the beginning, but was specially opened up by the Heavenly Court after a lot of troubles occurred over time.

The reason is simple. For a master of a secret realm like Chu Zhou who has just entered, the resources in his hands are very limited. However, some powerful people control more than one or two realms, and the materials they can mobilize are astronomical.

The inequality between the two sides will cause many problems in the process of trading.

Therefore, the Heavenly Court waved its hand and directly divided the levels.

However, no matter which level, the structure of this huge market is the same.

If you look down from a high altitude, it presents the Bagua formation, with eight gates at the corners, all of which can enter and exit Wanxian City.

The streets inside are linked one after another, one after another, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is connected in all directions, and even if there are a lot of people, it will not be congested.

Every few distances, there is another archway. After passing through, you can choose the block and place you want to go to, which can save time on the road.

Jieyin Daxian took Chu Zhou through a circular archway and went directly to the center of Wanxian City, the Treasure Pavilion.

The Treasure Pavilion nowadays actually no longer sells goods, but is more like a government hall and an office.

For example, if you want to rent a shop, you have to choose, register, design and plan, and place personnel here.

For example, various issues arising from the transaction process, such as goods identification, logistics tracking, personal transaction certification, etc., can all be done here.

In addition, there is also a task system in the Treasure Pavilion.

The existence above the Lord of the Secret Realm can issue various tasks, and individuals can accept tasks.

From the search for some special spiritual herbs and rare minerals to the rescue of the realm and seeking help, there is everything.

In fact, there are actually many individuals or sects in the Treasure Pavilion who have lost their own secret realms and can only transfer to mercenaries to help others fight and make huge profits for a living.

As for the currency in the Treasure Pavilion, it is naturally mainly merit points.

It is worth mentioning that the merit points in the Treasure Pavilion are no longer virtual currency, but real merit energy.

It is said that it is the purest faith and will power stripped from the Shinto belief system, which can be used to make unique incense and candles, which are the favorites of gods, and can even be used to cultivate the golden body of merit, which is powerful.

Even if ordinary immortals get it, after lighting it, they can also absorb it as the spiritual power of heaven and earth.

That's right, this kind of merit power can be adapted to almost any method and any spiritual power, from the golden immortal to the Qi training cultivator.

And there is no impurity at all, it is the purest!

From this perspective, there is nothing more suitable for currency than merit, so the heavenly court uses it to measure the value of goods.

Of course, merit points are not the only ones, there are also spirit stones and immortal stones, which can also be used as currency most of the time.

However, spirit stones have different sizes, and the spiritual power contained in them also has different amounts, so it is actually difficult to unify the standard.

It should be said that before the popularization of merit power, barter was the norm for transactions.

After leaving the Treasure Pavilion, Jieying Immortal and Chu Zhou did not immediately go to the shops under the Ten Thousand Buddha Sect, but walked along the street, chatting.

Jieying Immortal popularized a lot of common sense about the Ten Thousand Immortals City to Chu Zhou, and Chu Zhou nodded constantly.

During this process, Chu Zhou also entered a lot of shops, looked left and right, and his first feeling was that there were too many categories, far exceeding the standard items in the Jieying Hall.

As for the price?

The time was too short, so it was impossible to count them carefully, but he picked a few categories and looked at them, and found that they were slightly lower than the standard items in the Jieying Hall.

Come to think of it, if it is more expensive than the ones in the Jieying Hall, it is better to buy them in the Jieying Hall, and the quality is more guaranteed.

In addition, almost all shops have opened the "repurchase of raw materials" business.

Ordinary spiritual materials are fine, these shops are not rare, but some special and rare spiritual materials are hard to find.

It is worth mentioning that when the shopkeepers of these shops saw Chu Zhou coming in, they usually smiled, but when they saw the Jie Yin Immortal following behind, their smiles immediately froze.

Although there was no incident of the store bullying customers, and they answered Chu Zhou's questions honestly, the expression of "indifferent" was almost written on their faces.

Chu Zhou didn't quite understand it at first, but later he realized that the Jie Yin Immortal would only lead the newcomers who entered the Treasure Pavilion for the first time to talk about some basic situations.

In other words, people like Chu Zhou are basically paupers, and naturally have no consumption ability, so what is there to greet?

However, Chu Zhou didn't care. He asked what he should ask and looked what he should see. After walking a few more streets, he also looked for some shops opened by the Buddhist sect.

However, these shops were not strong. Although they were very interested in the Demon-stained Blue Dragon in the Refining Void Realm, they couldn't afford the price.

Finally, Chu Zhou still found the shop that the Jie Yin Immortal said belonged to the Ten Thousand Buddha Sect.

This shop is located at a street corner, where three main roads meet, and the flow of people is incredible.

And this shop named "Buddha's Light Shines Universally" is so big that it occupies seven or eight shops.

The golden Buddha light has really become real, shining brightly, ensuring that it is extremely eye-catching from any direction, and can blind people's eyes.

According to the introduction of the Jieying Immortal, the Wanfo Sect has a long history, which can even be traced back to 100,000 years ago. It is a respectable place in Lingshan Buddhist Country.

Of course, the shop here is just the property of a Buddhist temple under the Wanfo Sect, but even so, it is very respectable on the first floor of the Treasure Pavilion.

Chu Zhou stopped in front of the door for a moment, and then walked in. After entering the door, a little monk came to greet him.

It is worthy of being a real Buddhist sect. Even if the Jieying Immortal followed in, the little monk did not do anything rude.

He first bowed to the Immortal Jie Yin, then looked at Chu Zhou and chanted: "Namo Amitabha, I meet you, donor. I wonder if you want to buy anything here?

The shop is quite large. If you need it, I can explain it to you."

Chu Zhou also bowed and said in a very loud voice: "I want to see the shopkeeper of this shop. I wonder if you can introduce me?"

When these words came out, the little monk's eyes widened, and after a pause, he said: "Donor, my shopkeeper is busy with affairs and rarely sees outsiders. I wonder if you have any important business so that I can report it?"

Chu Zhou raised his eyes and said: "A demon-stained blue dragon in the realm of refining emptiness, I wonder if your store is interested?"

"What?"

"The demon-stained blue dragon in the realm of refining emptiness, do I need to say it again?"

"How can you prove it?"

Chu Zhou pointed to the left and right and asked, "You won't let me take things out in public, will you?"

"Well, of course there is no need for this. Donor, please come inside to the living room."

"good!"

The little novice monk led Chu Zhou up to the second floor, walked through a long corridor, and went inside.

The area where the Buddha's light shines in the store is a bit exaggerated, and it is obvious that some kind of magical power is used to extend the space.

Moreover, the method they use is not that of a regular store, but similar to that of a supermarket.

Various shelves are neatly arranged, and they are all filled with different goods, allowing guests to visit and play with them. There are also novice monks who guide the way and introduce the characteristics of the items.

The difference is that the price is not clearly marked, but can be negotiated based on the quantity purchased. Large quantities will give you a certain discount.

With a quick glance, Chu Zhou discovered that although they were only selling Buddhist items, the goods were really rich.

However, the time was too short and he could not take a closer look until he entered the living room. Someone served tea, and the young novice apologized and left again.

Chu Zhou took the tea and took a sip. He actually knew that there was no real eating and drinking in Taixu Heaven.

The tea is just like that, but the feeling of serving the tea, the taste in the mouth, the aroma of the tea and the heat are not inconsistent at all.

To be honest, after staying here for a long time, it is really difficult to tell whether it is fake.

Without letting Chu Zhou wait long, a burly monk who looked like an iron tower walked in quickly.

"Namo Amitabha!"

Before the person got close, he already shouted the Buddha's name with a loud voice, but the smile on his face could not stop: "The poor monk Jueyuan, Tian Wei is the shopkeeper who is illuminated by the Buddha's light. I have seen this real person and met all the people. "Yin Daxian, I wonder what the real person calls him?"

"My name is Chu Zhou. I have met Master Jue Yuan. I am here to bother you."

"The Buddha's light shines brightly when we open the door to welcome guests. I wish that as many people as possible would come, but I don't know if what my fellow Taoist said is true or false?"

"Master, please look!"

Chu Zhou didn't waste any time. He followed the instruction of the Great Immortal. He raised his hands, and there was a space-distorting ball in his palm. Inside, there was a half-dead black dragon, as well as boiling demonic energy, with teeth and claws dancing.

In this Taixu Heaven, everything is virtual and false, but it can also reflect everything like a mirror.

Everything Chu Zhou saw was in the palm of his hand, it was more real than real.

He raised his hand and moved forward. Master Jueyuan took it with both hands without saying anything. Buddha's light seemed to shine in his eyes, illuminating the illusion.

In fact, anything that can be reflected in Taixu Tian cannot be fake, but the quality of the same thing is also very different.

What the monk is seeing now is what Chu Zhou sees, but as a senior shopkeeper, he certainly has the means to use Chu Zhou’s eyes to understand the true quality!

The more he looked at it, the more satisfied he became, and he said directly: "I want this demon-dyed blue dragon. I wonder what price the real person wants?"

"I asked about the price before coming here. One million merit points, I think it's suitable!"

"Too many, too many. Even if this blue dragon is complete, it's not worth the price."

"Haha, the complete Void Refining Canglong is really not worth the price. However, after the invasion of the extraterrestrial demons, there are very few Canglongs who are still sane."

"But the price of one million merit points is still too much. The most I can pay is five hundred thousand, which is the limit."

"Master Jue Yuan, although I am only a newcomer, I have learned everything I should know before coming here.

Buddhism talks about salvation, from being a demon to becoming a Buddha and becoming a Buddhist protector. What kind of merit and practice is that? You know better than me!

If you think about it, think about it again, a mere million merit points is not much. "

"You can't say that. Although your Demonic Canglong is good, I am the only Buddhist sect who has the ability to take it. The audience is narrow, so naturally it cannot be sold at a high price.

Seven hundred thousand merit points, really no more! "

Chu Zhou chuckled: "You are right, but the audience is very narrow, but Buddhism is not your family. I came here because I think your store is rich and has no head or tail.

If it doesn't work, at worst I'll go to several places, such as a Buddhist temple, a Zen sect, or go directly to an auction house, and the highest bidder will get it. Do you think it can be sold for more than a million? "

"Of course it's possible! But I, Guan Zhenren, are in a hurry to take action. I'm afraid I won't wait that long, right?

Eight hundred thousand, really no more. "

"Nine hundred thousand merit points, but you have to bear the return shipping fee. Moreover, I also need you to provide a magic-suppressing golden bowl for sealing and transportation purposes."

"make a deal!"
