After crossing the foot of the mountain and climbing up for about [-] meters, there is a woodland that does not seem to have any abnormalities in the eyes of ordinary people. Just a woodland that can be seen everywhere.

However, it is this inconspicuous woodland that has attracted people from almost the entire cultivation world to gather here in just a few months. In the east and west directions of this open space, three to five hundred meters away, are The places chosen by the human cultivators and demon cultivators.

And right in front of this woodland, in the area where human cultivators and demon cultivators overlap, there is actually a barter market that has never been seen in thousands of years.

Not to mention how inconceivable this news was to the ears of the monks who were constantly coming from the two sides, the successful transaction volume in the five days since the opening of the market alone was enough to make the principals on both sides dumbfounded.

Human cultivators have what they need, demon cultivators have what they want, and they hit it off, and it is a deal that suits their wishes.Qu Bai flipped through the statistics in his hand, secretly reminding himself to go to Hu Yexian at night.

The curtain of the animal skin tent was lifted suddenly, Qu Bai put down the documents in his hand, and looked up, it was Qin Huai.

Qin Huai walked in with his chest in his arms, and said with confidence as he walked: "I said, apart from their different positions, the two camps are so different in aesthetic ability and economic ability. The whole camp here is still in the The form of primitive society in the early days! Even if your man is one of the heads here, following him would be aggrieved!"

Qu Bai glanced at him lightly, and continued flipping through the data receipt in his hand. Of course, he knew what Qin Huai was complaining about. This second generation ancestor was tired of living a leisurely life, and complained about the living standard of Yaozu.

Although from a practical point of view, the residence of the Yaozu is indeed a bit shabby. They live in tents wrapped in animal skins. The outline of the outside is simple and rough, and there is basically no decoration inside. The extravagant one is made of a small animal skin blanket. The sitting utensils for meditation, plus a low tea table temporarily made out of rough wood, are only used for entertaining guests when visiting each other occasionally.

——A group of monsters who are basically meditating when resting. There is no need to put any messy things in the tent. You can just dig a hole and meditate. The four tents assigned to Qu Bai and his party were given by Hu Zhimu in advance .

Compared with Yaozu's easy-going style of doing things, Renxiu's side is naturally much more refined. Those who travel alone, or those who come with family cultivation leaders, will basically converge in one place, form a temporary alliance, and build some small bookstores inner residence.

No matter how hard a human cultivator is, it seems that there is a kind of pursuit of life enjoyment and beauty that is different from that of a demon in his nature. He will only use a small wooden house for about five months at most; cabin.These people have to get together and spend a lot of energy and effort to make the wooden house look fancy, elegant or delicate.All in all, it is how to look comfortable, how to match your own aesthetics.

Damen Dapai travels are even more respectful and fond of big handwriting. Almost all of them are carefully refined palace-like treasures. When the technique is spread out, it can stand on a flat bottom or on the top of a tree. It is a very heavenly and unscientific method. Defensive treasures can not only be used for people to live and rest, but also can resist corresponding attacks for the people living inside.

Qu Bai has only seen the description of this kind of defensive treasure in Qingyuan General Outline Artifact Refining Chapter, and has never seen the real thing. Judging from his current strength and the materials in his hands, he can't refine it for the time being. .

Although the treasures held by these sects are not comparable to those that Qu Bai saw in the book, they are still enough to make others marvel at the generosity of these sects.Because although these palaces are not big and their defense capabilities are average, they cannot accommodate a hundred people like real luxury villas, but it is already cheap and elegant for important disciples and elders to rest and meditate.

Since it is a palace, when refining, all the supporting utensils inside are obviously carefully selected and refined, even a small kettle for making tea, all of which have various exquisiteness and connotations, even those with profound skills. The maker will add appropriate care to the teacup to give full play to the fragrance of the tea or diffuse the aura of the tea and water to the greatest extent.

In a nutshell, this is absolutely a must-have tool for the sect to show off and pretend to be aggressive—especially in such an occasion where people, cultivators, and demon cultivators gather. Promote?

In this way, when comparing the two sides, it is no wonder that Qin Huai sighed in primitive society.

"Hey——" Qin Huai drew closer to Qu Bai and touched his shoulder with his elbow, "It's the sixth day, why don't you go to the market?"

Qu Bai snapped the booklet shut angrily, and stood up from the animal skin blanket where he was sitting cross-legged, "Then let's go!"

Qin Huai was startled, and it took him two or three seconds to realize that Qu Bai had already reached the door curtain.He quickly stepped forward to catch up with Qu Bai, and asked, "Where are you going?"

"The market..." Qu Bai looked at Qin Huai with disdain, as if he was very dissatisfied with the other party's slow response, "Don't you see that Tian'er is as anxious as that one who wants to jump over the wall? Why? When it comes, why can’t you keep up?”

"But you..." Qin Huai couldn't answer in a daze.

Qu Bai waved the booklet in his hand, "I've read it all, and if I don't start now, when will I start?"

Qin Huaili remained silent for a while, rolled his eyes, and finally understood what Qu Bai meant. He rushed forward and hooked Qu Bai's neck, and rubbed Qu Bai's head, "I said you The past few days have been so calm. Thinking back, you were more active than me. No wonder you asked your family to go to the market to count the trading volume and specific trading products. This is what happened. Tell me, have you already Grasping the market trend? Do you know all the good things in your heart? Have the value been estimated? Are they all pressed to the lowest price?

Qu Bai pulled him away in disgust, straightened his clothes, "What do you think I am? A market manipulator?"

After a pause, Qu Bai continued: "At most, I only understand a little about the common characteristics of these transactions, what kind of things are easy to sell to Renxiu, and what kinds of things are easy to sell to Yaoxiu."

"That's all?" Qin Huai was a little dumbfounded, for five days, he saw this?Fortunately, he thought that Qu Bai was in the account for the past five days, macro-controlling the entire market.

"At least I know how to do this! Tell me, what have you been doing these past few days besides jumping up and down?" Qu Bai choked back dissatisfied.

Qin Huai was forced to suffocate, and then scratched his head in embarrassment, because he turned around in his mind, but he really couldn't find anything to contribute, he said haha: "Then what... Let's go quickly, don't delay, maybe if we delay, the baby will be seized by others."

When the two walked out of the tent one after another, they happened to meet Hu Ye who had come back from dealing with some trivial matters in the Yaozu. They said it was a coincidence, but in fact, as soon as Qu Bai opened the curtain, he had an "intimate contact" with Hu Ye who was about to walk in. collision.

"Hmm... why did you come back so early today?" Qu Bai asked in a muffled voice, touching his sore nose.

Since Hu Ye agreed to the mutual market proposal and the Yaozu tasted the sweetness of the mutual market, the dissenting voices have gradually subsided. The always wild and unruly Yaozu seems to have finally realized the benefits of "centralization".From then on, no matter how big or small, as long as there were internal disagreements, Hu Ye would make the final decision on all of them.

The first two times, Hu Ye was able to listen to these trifles, big and small, with a decent face due to the freshness that emerged from the long and boring life, and then judged the pros and cons a little bit as he got excited, and made a decisive decision for everyone.

But after three or five days, he found that almost all his people had turned into a bunch of brainless creatures.No matter what, as long as there is a slight conflict between them, they will all ask him and let him make up his mind.

Make a decision, make a decision, take a... Hu Ye swallowed back the foul words that almost blurted out, coldly swept a group of highly respected people in the monster clan who were doing it, made a gesture, and said lightly Let's go--in the future, you can decide the small things by yourself, don't bother me with everything, big or small.

A certain monster who had had enough of playing with the monster clansmen floated back and saw the two people who were about to go out together.

"I came back after nothing, where are you going?" Hu Ye glanced at Qin Huai who was standing aside as a human pillar, and immediately succeeded in freezing the warm human pillar into ice. He was satisfied with the effect achieved by his sight, Withdrawing his eyes, he looked at Qu Bai.

Qu Bai rubbed his cheeks and the bridge of his nose, stretched out his index finger against Hu Ye, and pushed him aside, "Go to the market, you are not allowed to follow."

Hu Ye crossed his chest and raised his eyebrows, dissatisfied, but he didn't get angry at Qu Bai, he just looked at Qin Huai who was standing beside him like a pillar.

Qin Huai said tremblingly: "How about...Qu Bai... let Master follow..."

"No way!" Qu Bai refused without even thinking about it, "He will follow, and we have nothing to do with it. People will go to watch him directly, and the reserve price of the things we fancy will definitely not be able to move down."

The fox lord of the monster race shows up, do you think that cultivators will give away the things they like for nothing?Qu Bai sneered in his heart, it's no wonder he didn't sit still and raise the price!

Qin Huai lowered his head slowly, moved sideways in small steps, and moved towards the door curtain.Tears flowed into my heart already - I actually don't know anything, I can't decide anything, if you want to convulse, don't look at me!I am innocent!

Even though Qin Huai's heart has already roared into a wild lion, he has already seen through the temperament of his nominal master and actual slave owner. He is perverted to death, and only he will have a good attitude towards Qu Bai. Reconcile and measure, even if you get fussed by Qu Bai's behavior, you don't take it out on Qu Bai easily—joke, his punching bag is so brightly displayed, why doesn't he use it?

Hu Ye blinked, and when he was about to switch strategies, Qu Bai grabbed Qin Huai, who was squirming at a snail's speed, with one hand, and pinched the booklet with the other, and walked away without looking back. : "You can follow if you want, don't let me know, let alone let other people find out, otherwise... hum..."

The two passed through the Yaozu's residence. On the way, they met two young boys and Fatty who were having fun with a group of fourteen and five-year-old teenagers. They greeted each other and told them not to leave the residence, and looked around vigilantly. Once again, after making sure that Qingxuan was watching not far away, he made various promises to the two little boys and walked out of the Yaozu's residence.

Along the way, Qin Huai seemed to be very familiar with the road, and asked Qu Bai to follow him while unceremoniously criticizing him for his ignorance. In just a few days, he managed to figure out the road leading to the market so well. Familiar, it can be seen that he has spent a lot of effort.

Qin Huai curled his lips helplessly, wanting to justify, but also wanting to refute back fiercely, arguing, he thought he might not lose to Qu Bai, although Qu Bai's mouth was always poisonous, but his was also quite sharp, but when the words came to his lips, he remembered The few words Qu Bai threw to Hu Ye before he left, he could not help feeling from all around, and after not noticing Hu Ye's aura, he still asked in a low voice worriedly: "Did your man follow?"

"What do you think?" Qu Bai raised his eyebrows and asked back.

"Yes, I need to ask more." Qin Huai touched his nose boredly, stopped chewing, and buried his head in leading the way.

Although the mountain road of several hundred meters is not as easy as walking on the flat bottom, it only takes a few minutes with the strength of the two of them. As soon as they entered the market, Qu Bai was very stunned by the scene.

Qin Huai pushed him knowingly, "Okay, go in, I know you're surprised, but don't be so obvious, it looks like you're very ignorant."

The bazaar is located 500 meters in front of the phantom star formation. Although it occupies a wide area, the area is not flat, after all, it is a mountainous area with lush forests.

The human cultivators and demon cultivators who marked out the boundaries of the market are obviously high-level. At least they have no idea of ​​logging and flattening the ground. A two-story wooden building was erected in front of the largest tree, allowing those who have endless disputes over the value of traded goods to come here for evaluation or consignment.

Therefore, although this small market looks disorganized, it is very amazing, because each stall is unique and attractive, and some tree trunks have been hollowed out, and space magic has been cast in it to expand slightly. There are shops that have taken up space; some directly take animal skins and spread them on the ground, and put samples of the things they want to sell; some find open spaces to build a temporary weird and conspicuous hut.

All in all, in this market, there is only what you can't think of, and there is nothing you can't see.

The sophistication and charm pursued by human cultivators, and the roughness and wildness of demon cultivators are strangely blended together in this temporary market.It makes the two sides reflect each other, and there is neither the feeling of delicateness to hypocrisy of human cultivation, nor the feeling of roughness of demon cultivation to primitive society.

This feeling of unusual conflict and harmony made Qu Bai unable to believe that this was a situation achieved by two ethnic groups who had vowed to fight until the fourteenth party. Qu Bai quickly captured the scene in front of him, and suddenly , his heart that had been silent for a long time moved, and the realm he had been unable to break through seemed to loosen again.

Qu Bai's heart moved, but suspicion immediately arose, it shouldn't be... Although the scene in front of him gave him a new understanding of Dao Xin, he didn't feel that it could improve his realm.

Reminded by Qin Huai's weak words, Qu Bai, who temporarily stabilized his mood, was about to speak, when suddenly, a strange feeling penetrated him from a place in the southwest.

"What's wrong?" Qin Huai finally realized that what was wrong with Qu Bai was not just a sigh at the scene in front of him. He followed Qu Bai's line of sight and saw only a very thin and small monk who looked like a young man. There are a lot of things mixed up, including spiritual plants, and some things that seem to be small utensils that have been refined.

"Are you looking at him?" Qin Huai looked away.

"You know him?" Qu Bai withdrew his gaze from a certain point on the other party's pile of things.

"He seems to be a casual cultivator. I don't know what his identity is. He has been in that position for a few days when I was wandering here. He built such a strange shed and stayed in it. Those spiritual plants in front of him The quality was too poor. In the first few days, the whole market seemed to be full of good things. Naturally, no one liked his things. As for the few things he made himself, it was said that some of them were made of good materials, but they were not as good as The ones in other people's hands are also inferior in comparison, so after a few days, it seems that the exchange was successful once. Why, he has something good in his hand? Are those spiritual plants some rare species? "

"No..." Qu Bai said as he walked towards the small booth of the young monk, "Actually, it was something he refined... the materials inside are a treasure..."
