This Zhenhai City is the establishment of the most powerful force in the Wanghai Territory, the General Alliance of Business Alliance. In the absence of sect-level forces, it is equivalent to the ruling center of the Wanghai Territory in disguise, analogous to the "capital" before Lin Xiu crossed. ".
At the same time, because the business alliance is based on "business", this endows Zhenhai City with an extraordinary prosperity and business atmosphere. In addition, at least one of the three masters of the business alliance sits in it at all times... …
"It's easy to understand. If we regard Wanghai Territory as an independent country, then Zhenhai City is equivalent to the political, economic and military center of this country, and there is only a cultural center that does not know whether it exists, which is a little suspenseful. gone."
And after Lin Xiu's detailed explanation, Ke Qing also knew what kind of territory the Zhenhai City that he was about to go to next was probably, and he couldn't stop curious thoughts from the bottom of his heart.
"This Zhenhai City sounds very similar to the 'setting' of Liyue Port."
"You can also say that, but fundamentally there is still a difference."
"difference?"
Lin Xiu nodded, and said calmly: "Liyue Port is based on the contract, from the traffickers to the Liyue Seven Stars, and even the King of the Rock, all follow the contract, but in Zhenhai City, apart from still relying on cultivation ——In addition to fist size, another set of standards is not various contracts or contracts, but this.”
As he said that, a stone lingering in the dense aura appeared in Lin Xiu's hand.
"—Spirit stone?"
"That's right, it's the spirit stone."
Putting this spirit stone in front of Keqing, Lin Xiu's eyes faltered: "As far as I heard from Dangcheng Mansion, there is a saying in Zhenhai City..."
——In Zhenhai City, in the business alliance, there are only things you can't afford, and there is nothing you can't buy.
Whether this is an exaggeration or worthy of the name will soon have an answer.
……
Zhenhai City, also known as Zhenhai City Mansion.
Geographically, it is located in the middle of the north and south, but relatively speaking, it is asymmetrical in terms of east and west. Compared with Suxuanling and Xinanling in the west, it is closer to the vast sea area in the east.
However, this does not affect the prosperity of Zhenhai City at all. According to the rough statistics once every ten years, the number of people living in Wanghai City alone is as many as tens of millions.
Compared with the "Three Passes and Seven Cities" in Qingyuan Territory, this magnitude seems to be no more than that, but there is a premise to consider: Qingyuan Territory is forced to gather the population into one area forcibly. Other options It is estimated that more than [-]% of the residents will choose to leave to find another way.
The Wanghai Territory is different. One of the prerequisites for the prosperity of commerce is the freedom of trade. Although it does not reach the level of "absolute freedom", at least the freedom of circulation within the Wanghai Territory is not a problem.
Under such circumstances, Wanghai City has attracted such an order of magnitude of population with only one city, and the amount of information inside is not insignificant.
And this is only the resident population. If the circulating population is added, this number can be expanded by more than three times on the original basis, that is to say——
"More than 3000 are close to the level of 4000 million."
When seeing this place, even Lin Xiu, who had seen what the metropolis of the world looked like before crossing, couldn't help but be speechless.
That is to say, there are immortal cultivators in this world. Otherwise, with the productivity level of mortals in the current era, let alone 3000 to 4000 million, even if it is reduced by a hundred times, various problems may occur.
Among other things, the daily food consumption to maintain these populations is an astronomical sum, and there are various health problems... Thinking about it makes one's scalp tingle.
However, only such a huge population can support Zhenhai City and the existence of the business alliance.
Before officially entering the border of Zhenhai City, Lin Xiu had already noticed many signs while driving Rhodes Island more than 300 miles away from the destination.
Among them, the most common ones are of course all kinds of business ways, large and small.
It is said that if you want to get rich, you need to build roads first, and it is reasonable to come to the world of cultivating immortals. Although this world has such magical creations as "Shangzhou", not everyone can afford the huge consumption. For most businesses and families with insufficient background, moving on the ground is still a low-cost option.
However, even if you are also moving merchants on the ground, what you see in the Wanghai Territory is still different from other territories.
The most obvious one is the smoothness and completeness of various business routes. As far as the three territories Lin Xiu set foot on before, except for the Qingyuan Territory, which has long since been abandoned because of the monster race’s invasion, the various connected roads have long been abandoned, that is, Suxuan The business roads in the collar are still relatively intact, and only the main road is like this, and the branch roads, such as Qingrong Road, are also in disrepair.
But such a situation does not exist in Wanghai Territory. Along the way, the main roads and side roads you see are all unimpeded, spacious and smooth.
The reason for this scene is also very simple, just like there was a professional "road maintenance" organization before the crossing, in order to keep the traffic unimpeded near Zhenhai City, the Merchant Alliance also set up a similar organization, but the one responsible for the repairs was not the one with the Mortals with hammers and iron cones, but monks with the lowest cultivation base and the late stage of Qi training, who can fly with weapons.
To be honest, when he discovered the existence of this group of monks with his spiritual sense, Lin Xiu couldn't even tell what they were doing for a while, until he witnessed them rushing to a main road interrupted by a landslide due to a conflict between monks On the road, there was an orderly division of labor—moving, cleaning, and filling. It took less than a quarter of an hour to repair the road before realizing what they were doing.
Good guy, this is "flying tractor" + "simple road roller". By the way, there is an extra portable processing factory. The same repair work would take a day or two even if a professional team is dispatched in the world before crossing. It took less than a quarter of an hour for the cultivator with the spiritual energy to finish the job.
It was also through the actions of these people that Lin Xiu once again realized that Wanghai Territory is different from the outside world.
Even if such an action only serves business and not others, it will not hinder the many conveniences it can bring.
After continuing to advance for more than 100 miles, Lin Xiu's sight caught the slowly floating shadow in the distant sky.
Its appearance is somewhat similar to that of the flying boat, but it is much bloated. It is more like a deformation of "Rhode Island", and its flying speed is far inferior to the flying boat. It is now slowly moving towards the direction of Zhenhai City.
Combining the above characteristics, it is not difficult to guess what it is if you know a little about Wanghailing.
merchant boat
It is still serving business, but only a well-established chamber of commerce has the confidence to manufacture and use a large flying vehicle. Unlike flying boats that emphasize speed, merchant boats emphasize load, capacity, and comfort according to needs... … Around these demands, Wanghailing has almost formed a complete production chain.
Watching the merchant boat go away, the anticipation in Lin Xiu's heart for the upcoming arrival in Zhenhai City became stronger and stronger.
I don't know, how will this capitalism with Xiuxian characteristics be presented in front of me?
366. Xiuxian version target customer screening
Let Rhodes Island stop outside the city and let Ke Qing take care of it. Considering that he was going to find out the truth first, Lin Xiu entered Zhenhai City alone without bringing her.
The city is also known for its large scale, but this Zhenhai City is fundamentally different from the "Three Passes and Seven Cities". The densely packed outside of the city is not a variety of large and small defensive and identification formations, but a series of blood vessel-like formations. The roads connecting the inside and outside of the city, and there are no obstacles such as city walls, but an undefended posture extending in all directions.
Considering that this place is only two or three hundred miles away from the East China Sea, so confident at such a distance, it seems that the fact that there is always a master sitting in the inner city is true.
After that, Lin Xiu didn't waste any time, and entered the city directly from an entrance of the west gate. During the whole process, he didn't encounter any substantive inspections, and the journey went smoothly.
After entering Zhenhai City, there was no such thing as a native low-level monk recommending himself to sell Zhenhai City. It may be because of bad luck (too bad?) that he did not meet him. Of course, Lin Xiu thinks it is more likely It's because the stone wall standing at the end of the street that is about ten feet long and wide when you step into the city -
——Information inquiry
——Purchase and sale of magical instruments
—— Recommended exercises
——Lingshi contract
——Industrial purchase
——Island Construction
……
Under the dense series of non-repetitive instructions, there are several large characters marked in bold and bold characters: Anyone who has this need, please go to the business alliance's - Yingke Inn for consultation.
In addition, he carefully marked a guide to guide the direction with aura.
How should I put it, just the first scene I saw when I entered the city gave Lin Xiu a sense of "deja vu", another sense of "back home".
In any case, the business alliance is also the main purpose of Lin Xiu's trip. Now that Lu Yin has been placed in front of him, there is no reason to turn a blind eye. Immediately follow Lu Yin all the way, and then go inward along the main road After walking for about two quarters of an hour, after seeing all kinds of commodities and crowds of people on the street, I finally came to a three-story building.
Different from the lively scene seen on the street just now, the surrounding area of this building is obviously much quieter, and the reception staff inside are only two or three people—wait a minute, is this?
Under Lin Xiu's surprised sight, Lin Xiu, who was taken all the way to the third floor by the boy at the door, saw that the person who showed up to receive him, since he wasn't practicing Qi or building a foundation, was a real golden pill!
Even if the breath is still a little unstable not long after breaking through, it can still be called a "true person", a golden core level existence with one person under ten thousand.
——This business alliance is really terrifying to such an extent that even Jindan can be used casually as a pick-up?
When this idea couldn't stop popping up in his mind, the person who showed up to receive Lin Xiu seemed to see Lin Xiu's shock, and he took the initiative to say: "This fellow Taoist is new, I think it's the first time I come to Zhenhai City."
Lin Xiu nodded honestly.
"That's it. Friends who visit for the first time almost react like this, after all, they are received by a real person channel..."
It seemed to be a little weird, and the golden core monk shook his head: "It is indeed a bit extravagant."
Then, I explained in detail.
This person's name is Lu Yuren, and he is the golden elixir of the business alliance, and it is not the kind of golden elixir that joined the business alliance halfway, but he has joined the business alliance since he was a child and has practiced all the way so far. The next topic is particularly important. After all, even if some sensitive information is discussed with such an identity, it will not be easily spread out.
"Fellow Daoist must have seen that stone wall when he entered the city. I don't know how many words you saw?"
After thinking about it for a while, Lin Xiu reported a number.
But this time it was Lu Yuren's turn to be shocked, he opened his mouth for a while before replying, "Friend Daoist is very human."
At this point, no matter how dull Lin Xiu was, he realized that the problem was on the stone wall, and Lu Yuren's next words also confirmed this.
"The stone wall was forged by the Venerable Master himself. There are [-] sides in total, and they are placed at [-] nodes in Zhenhai City. Although it is not as unpredictable as an ordinary magic weapon, it can Different information is revealed depending on the level of human cultivation and the strength of the spiritual consciousness."
"Anyone who enters Zhenhai City can look at this stone wall, but the information they can read is different. The lower the cultivation level, the less information they can read. Taking Qi training monks as an example, they can read from this stone wall. The information read on the stone wall is nothing more than a simple welcome word, and the Business Alliance will not provide any help to this person."
"If you are a monk who established the foundation, you can get one or two information about the city through this stone wall, and be guided to a nearby reception."
"As for the Golden Core like Fellow Daoist..."
Speaking of this, Lu Yuren paused: "As long as there are enough spirit stones, as long as the Taoist friends have seen it on the stone wall before, our business alliance can complete it!"
In this sentence, he said it firmly.
Hearing this, Lin Xiu probably understood.
As soon as I entered the city, I came to the "big customer screening". The stone wall seemed magical, but in fact it only served as a "target customer filter".
Although the cultivation level and spirit stones are not necessarily linked, at least [-]% of the monks are the higher the cultivation level, the more spirit stones, and since the business alliance is based on "business", it is naturally the pursuit of profit, if your cultivation base is not enough Even the qualifications to be cut leeks are not directly screened out, and only "high-quality customers" like Lin Xiu will be guided to this land.
It’s no wonder why this place is much quieter than the surrounding area. Some kind of formation like the stone wall should have been set up nearby to shield people with insufficient cultivation. In retrospect, the journey of two quarters of an hour is a bit exaggerated. It's just that it doesn't need to be so troublesome for ordinary reception.
Lin Xiu didn't continue to pursue anything after learning the information. It's not an offense to be left or right. It's just a part of the business alliance's simplification of the work process. In addition, for the sake of Jin Danxiu, he also frankly told him afterwards that he had to change it to time travel. In the world before, I’m afraid you didn’t know how many times you were “screened” by big data without your knowing, and you didn’t have any privacy or right to know.
"So, what does this fellow Taoist need?"
Facing Lu Yuren's enthusiastic smile, Lin Xiu said directly: "About the information consultation, I really have something to ask."
Then, Lin Xiu asked about the current situation and general situation of the Qingyuan Territory during the period after he left.
This question is actually not important, but on the one hand, it can effectively hide one's identity: if the question is about He Guizong's affairs or the silk-wrapping sword sect, there is no guarantee that it will be associated with his real identity. Lin Xiu doesn't think much about it yet. So quickly exposed.
And answering Lin Xiu can also verify the completeness and authenticity of the information. Although he has left, some secrets he knows will not be invalidated so quickly. If the authenticity is not enough, there is no need to continue asking.
It doesn't take many spirit stones to control this level of information, just treat it as "throwing stones to ask for directions".
367. "The Method of Surveying the Sky and Observing Shapes"
With this in mind, after hearing Lin Xiu's question, Lu Yuren first left for a while, and when he returned, he had an extra jade slip in his hand.
"Thanks to your patronage, ten thousand spirit stones."
The corner of his mouth twitched, Lin Xiu took out a top-grade spirit stone and put it on the table expressionlessly, before Lu Yuren handed over the jade slip.
Sweeping the consciousness, I have to say that you get what you pay for. The information recorded here is much more detailed than Lin Xiu expected, and some anecdotes that he knows are also recorded in it, including the recent three sects. The "radical" measures in the past few years, as well as the uncharacteristically calm Qingqiu leader Yaozu.
