Immortal Mansion: With mediocre qualifications, I have no choice but to live forever
Chapter 205 Prosperity
Gusu is the most prosperous area in the entire Chu State and even the entire Yanzhou.
Gusu is located in the east of the Chu State, adjacent to Daliang, Wei and Yan. The trade between them is most developed in Yanzhou.
Not only that, Gusu is rich in various spiritual materials, and there are even many precious mineral veins, which has attracted countless wealthy merchants to Susu, which is already a storage and trade hub.
Gusu City, the core area of Gusu County, has a permanent population of one million and prosperous commerce.
Over the years, with the rise of the Gusu Nan family, the entire Gusu city has been built into an iron wall by the Nan family.
Although the Gusu Nan Family's own strength is meager, they can at best be regarded as a mid-range Jindan force within the Chu Kingdom.
But because of his huge wealth, many masters of casual cultivators are enshrined in his sect. Jindan Zhenren is unknown, and it is even said that there is a hidden Nascent Soul master.
Moreover, Nan Ling, the head of the Nan family, has a close relationship with the county prince who sealed this place. The legitimate daughter of the county prince's palace even married Nan Yunxu, the third son of the Nan family.
Under such a background, Gusu City is completely equivalent to the private land of the Nan family. No one except the royal family can expect any benefit from Gusu City.
Zhou Yiqiao and his two men set out from Yutan County and drove a Yiyuan boat across almost half of Yanzhou. They galloped all the way and spent more than twenty days before they arrived at Gusu City.
The Yiyuan Zhou landed outside the gate of Gusu City. Zhou Yiqiao jumped from his body and landed on the ground. Then he looked around, raised his legs and stepped forward, leading He Yunxi into this majestic city.
The scale of this Gusu City is countless times larger than that of Yutan County.
Looking around, one can see majestic buildings rising from the ground, with streets and lanes lined with traffic, and the bustling level is several times more prosperous than the capitals of several nearby small countries.
In the sky above the city, there are many shuttles and treasure ships shuttled among the buildings. Each flying magic weapon is filled with soldiers wearing armor. The most luxurious treasure ship even has a golden elixir master sitting on it!
These soldiers are all domestic servants supported by the Gusu Nan family through their huge financial resources.
Although their strength is only that of ordinary Qi-refining monks, their combat effectiveness is much higher than those of the same level thanks to the magic weapons that they are armed to the teeth. Not to mention that these servants cooperate with each other tacitly and will never fight alone.
Now it happens that the Nan family is holding an exchange meeting. There are a lot of people coming and going in the city, and there are many people in strange clothes.
When Zhou Yiqiao and the two entered the city, a convoy escorting goods happened to pass by him. The leader was a luxury BMW pulling a huge incense burner, which attracted many envious eyes along the way.
"The burning thing inside this incense burner is actually a sweet fruit spirit tree that has been growing for hundreds of years!"
"Not only the sweet fruit spirit wood, but also the colorful glass beads inlaid on the incense burner are polished and carved from red crystal jade. These few inconspicuous jewels are worth one hundred thousand spirit stones!"
"Tsk, tsk, such a luxurious incense burner, I don't know which young master is the handiwork of it."
Zhou Yiqiao listened to all the people's conversations, and then his indifferent eyes fell on the clothes of these coachmen.
On the left side of the carriage, the word "Liu" is embroidered impressively. This is the symbol of the Liu family, one of the major merchants in Suzhou.
The Liu family is one of the branches of the Nan family and has a close relationship with the Nan family. It is in charge of most of the magic weapon transactions in Yanzhou. It is also a quite famous family in Gusu City.
"The total price of this incense burner alone is equivalent to my income from selling second-level elixirs in a year."
Zhou Yiqiao sighed in his heart, and continued walking with He Yunxi, and soon arrived near a manor in the north of the city.
This place is the city lord's palace of Gusu City.
Gusu City is different from most counties and cities in the Chu Kingdom. The position of city lord has been held by a member of the Nan family since its establishment.
Zhou Yiqiao and the others looked around and saw that the manor in front of them covered a very large area, like a small palace.
There is a strong smell of herbs in the manor.
He Yunxi's Qiong nose sniffed slightly, and then frowned.
"The wealth of the Gusu Nan family is really staggering. The ornamental plants planted in the city lord's mansion are actually extremely precious second-level spiritual herbs."
"If you take it out and sell it, the amount of spiritual stones you get in exchange for it will be an astronomical figure for an ordinary monk."
Zhou Yiqiao chuckled after hearing this.
"For wealthy businessmen like the Nan family in Gusu, planting spiritual plants in front of their doors may be a form of elegance."
While the two were talking, guards were already patrolling by.
"This is the palace of the city lord of Gusu City. I wonder what the seniors are here for?"
Zhou Yiqiao did not hide his cultivation, so he was naturally noticed by the leader of the guards. A leader in black armor walked out of the team, saluted Zhou Yiqiao and asked.
Zhou Yiqiao and Zhou Yiqiao were now dressed up as monks, and their behavior was no different from that of an ordinary couple.
I saw He Yunxi holding Zhou Yiqiao's arm and speaking on his behalf.
"I and my husband heard that the Nan family was going to hold an exchange meeting, so we traveled thousands of miles to come here to learn more."
"I am an ignorant casual cultivator. If I violate any rules, please ask this elder brother to bear with me."
The city guard leader breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this.
"It turns out that they are two Taoist friends who came here because of their reputation. Since they have come to Gusu City, they are naturally my guests in Gusu City."
After saying that, the leader lowered his head and whispered a few instructions to the guards on the side, and then made a gesture of invitation to Zhou Yiqiao and the other two.
"You two, come with me."
Zhou Yiqiao and the others nodded, followed the leader around the city lord's palace, and walked further north of Gusu City.
The north of Gusu City is where real wealthy businessmen gather. The scenery along the way is pleasant, with some pavilions, pavilions, beautiful mountain rivers, and some exquisite shops flashing in their eyes.
Zhou Yiqiao took a few glances and secretly praised in his heart that Gusu City was indeed a geomantic treasure land with a vast territory and abundant spiritual energy. If there were enough spiritual stones, it would be extremely suitable for living.
The leader led the way and introduced them again and again.
"Two Taoist friends, there are many industries in Gusu City. If you like anything, just tell me. As long as it is a spiritual object in Yanzhou, you can buy it here."
He led Zhou Yiqiao and the two of them to an extremely magnificent large palace, and then stopped.
"You two, go further inside and you will find the place where all the Taoist friends from this exchange meeting will stay temporarily. After you two enter, other members of our Gusu City staff will guide you."
After finishing speaking, he slightly arched his hands towards the two of them, then turned and left.
Zhou Yiqiao and the others watched this person leave. As soon as they entered the palace, two female Qi Refining Cultivators with iconic looks came forward.
"You're here, senior, but you're here to attend my Nan family's exchange meeting?"
