Chronicles of Celestial Origins

Sun Tongling just watched him perform magic tricks, taking out many wooden boxes of different sizes from his storage bag, stacking them three feet high, and he didn't come back to his senses for a while.

He has been working here for more than ten years and has never seen or heard of anyone selling so many elixirs, as if these dragon fruits were wild fruits picked by the roadside.

Isn't this a fool? Why would someone with such financial resources sell this at such a low price? The price of the elixir after refining it would immediately increase several times.

Even the sect would find it difficult to come up with so many elixirs at once.

Sun Tongling looked at him suspiciously, seeing that the man's figure was completely covered by the large cloak and bamboo hat.

"I don't know who your friend is? Could you please reveal your name?"

"Does the Qingyang Sect still have this rule? If you are willing to buy it, please settle the price. If you are not willing to buy it, just find another shop." Tang Ning said, pretending to put away the wooden box.

"Hey, fellow Taoist, I misunderstood." Sun Tongling hurriedly stopped him: "Sun is just curious for a moment. Business is business. I will calculate the price for you."

Sun Tongling opened a wooden box, held the red and crystal dragon fruit in his hands and looked at it carefully for a while: "Yes, it is a fully mature dragon fruit."

After saying that, he put the dragon fruit back into the wooden box, opened the next wooden box, took it out and looked at it.

"Shopkeeper Sun, a customer bought a Xuanguang Shield. I need you to take a look and record it in person." Not long after, a woman knocked on the door outside and said.

"I'm dealing with customers now, you handle the records yourself." Sun Tongling said

After taking inventory for about half an hour, Sun Tongling looked at all the wooden boxes of herbs: "It has been inspected. There are a total of 180 dragon fruits, 50 fluorescent flowers, and 50 ichthyosaurs, all of which are in the mature stage. , No problem, please wait a moment, fellow Taoist, I will come as soon as I can.”

"Where are you going, Fellow Daoist Sun?" Tang Ning asked immediately

"Sun is just the manager here, and the shopkeeper is Master Zhang from our sect. For such a large amount, I need to ask Master Zhang to come and take a look. He is practicing at the Baoxing Inn in this city. Please wait patiently for a while. "

Baoxing Inn, as you can tell from the name, is opened by the Baoxing Chamber of Commerce. It is the only inn in the entire city. Tang Ning had seen it in Huangfenggufang City, and heard that it costs twenty spiritual stones to stay in this inn for one day.

In less than a moment of burning incense, Sun Tongling led an old man with white beard and hair.

"Uncle, this fellow Taoist sells medicinal herbs." Sun Tongling stood next to the old man and said respectfully.

Seeing a foundation-building monk coming, Tang Ning couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.

"I heard from my nephew that I have a large amount of foundation-building elixirs for sale?" the old man asked.

"Yes, it's all here. Fellow Taoist Master Sun has verified it just now. I wonder if you can give me the settlement price."

"Of course." The old man waved his hand, and hundreds of wooden boxes were all opened at once.

This is the signature method of the foundation-building monks. It releases spiritual power. Only by relying on this method can the foundation-building monks fly away in the air.

The old man stepped forward, took out a few elixirs from the wooden boxes, took a look at them, and closed all the wooden boxes with a wave of his hand.

"I wonder if I can tell you where you got these elixirs from?"

When Tang Ning heard this, he immediately became nervous. After all, the other party was a foundation-building monk. If he used force, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and said: "Does the Qingyang Sect shop need to inquire about the source of the herbs? Senior, if you want , then settle the spiritual stone with me, if you don’t want it, leave immediately.”

"We are in business, and what matters in business is to be aboveboard and aboveboard. Inquiring about the source is also for the sake of formal business. Fellow Taoist is just a practitioner of Qi refining. He wraps his whole body tightly, and his identity is suspicious. He has so many foundation-building pills. It's an unreasonable thing in itself. If it's stolen, what will we do if someone finds it?"

Tang Ning knew that the other party was relying on his cultivation to make strong arguments, but now everyone was a slave to him, so he could only say: "How can I steal the elixir from a humble person? Senior, please feel free, but I accidentally entered a cave, and a senior passed away." Here, these are the things that were planted in the back courtyard of the cave. They are all here, and they are definitely not stolen items. "

"Oh? Then..." The old man wanted to ask another question, but Tang Ning interrupted: "Senior is not doing business, but seems to be interrogating prisoners. Since senior is worried, I just won't sell these things."

After saying that, he stepped forward and put away the wooden box.

"Hey, little friend, why should I be angry? Since I have made it clear that it is not a theft." The old man said: "Sun Tongling, pay this little friend."

"Yes. Fellow Taoist, the medicinal herbs here are worth a total of 24,400 spiritual stones. Please wait a moment. I will get the spiritual stones for you."

"No need, just replace them all with Wan Ling Dan."

"All of them?"

"Yes." Tangning nodded.

"Okay, please wait." Sun Tongling walked out and came back with a storage bag a moment later.

"The unit price of Wan Ling Dan in our shop is twelve spirit stones, and the whole bottle is sold for 330 spirit stones. There are a total of seventy-four bottles of Wan Ling Dan. Please count them."

Tangning took the storage bag, took out a few bottles, and counted them. Each bottle contained thirty Wanling Pills.

Sun Tongling took out a golden account book: "Don't you know the name of your friend?"

"Tang Ru."

"Okay, Fellow Taoist Tang, please give me the number plate and sign here."

Tangning did as she was told and put her fingerprints on the account book.

Sun Tongling took out a black disk, placed the number plate on it, fiddled with it a few times, and handed it back to him.

"I'll take my leave."

Tangning took the number plate and left the Qingyang Sect Chamber of Commerce and went to the management office.

There were only a few people in the hall at this moment, and the staff from the management office placed the number plate on the black disc: "Fellow Taoist Tang, you sold 24,400 spirit stones at the Qingyang Sect store in our city, and purchased two more. Forty-four thousand items, right?”

"yes."

"Take this document and go to the guard's office to leave the city."

"What are those number plates and black disks of yours?" Tang Ning couldn't help but ask. Last time in Yellow Maple Valley, she saw the Chamber of Commerce staff playing with these things. It seemed quite novel. She just clicked a few of them in the city. All transactions are clearly visible.

The man explained: "This is a stone name recording plate and a disc name reading plate. Taoist friends' transactions in the market are input into the recording plate by the shop, and then read by us, the transaction information can be permanently saved. As long as The transaction record of Taoist friends can be found in the merchant association, which also facilitates our management of the stores in the city, because the chamber of commerce needs to collect the profits of the stores in proportion. "

Record plate, read plate.

It is common to all chambers of commerce in the world, and it sounds very advanced.

"I would like to ask, I wonder what percentage of the store's profits your business will take."

"Take three out of one hundred. No matter what the store's selling price is, we only take this ratio."

Tangning was stunned. Three out of one hundred was too dark! No wonder the prices of the items in the shops here are so expensive, and all the profits have been taken away by these grandsons.

"We are the only formal and legal market in the world. We will definitely ensure fair and just transactions and the safety of life and property of customers in the market, so the profit ratio we charge is very reasonable." The man said with a smile.

"Formal is formal, what does legal mean? Is there anything illegal?" Tang Ning asked doubtfully. There are many laws in the secular dynasty, but the practice world has never heard of the law.

"Only chambers of commerce that have joined the Trade Alliance can create markets, and they are protected by the Trade Alliance. Any force that has not joined the Trade Alliance privately establishes a market in the area, which is illegal. The Trade Alliance will eliminate this force in accordance with the law."

"You said that the Chamber of Commerce can guarantee the safety of customers' lives and property, right? If someone covets my belongings and keeps following me, can your Chamber of Commerce handle it?"

"If you suspect that someone is following you, tell us and we can immediately detain him forcibly until you leave Fangshi. After all, he has not done anything, so we cannot handle it privately. If he does something in Fangshi, Fangshi's escort team will be there Rush to the scene and kill him immediately.”

Tang Ning nodded with satisfaction. It was pretty much the same. Although it was a little darker, at least the attitude was good.

After leaving the management office, she walked around the Huizi Square several times to make sure no one was following her. Tangning handed in the paperwork at the security office, quickly walked out of the Fangshi Formation Restriction, and immediately escaped into the ground, traveling for dozens of miles. Only then did he emerge from the ground and fly away with his flying sword.

It wasn't because he was suspicious, but because the foundation-building monk from Qingyang Sect obviously had bad intentions, so he had to act cautiously.

After flying for about a hundred miles, he stopped at a mountain stream, threw away his black cloak and bamboo hat, and jumped naked into the stream to wash himself.

Tang Ning knew that there were some secret ways to track people, such as spraying strange chemicals on people's clothes or bodies, so he took off his clothes and washed his whole body, carefully checking the inside and outside of his body, and then left with his flying sword.

The elixir exchanged this time is enough for him to practice for five or six years. There are still more than 7,000 spiritual stones in the storage bag. He will not have to worry about the cost of practicing in the short term.

…

In the guest room of Baoxing Inn, Gufang City, Tainan.

The girl looked out the window with great interest at the two wild deer competing for food in the bamboo forest in the backyard. The man behind her took off his hood, revealing his true face. He was an old man with white beard and hair. What was even more surprising was that this old man was actually an old man. The name is Jindan monk. The young man just now looked like a lifelike human skin mask, complete with scalp and hair.

"Miss, we should go back, otherwise Mr. Fan will send someone to look for him." The old man stood behind her and said respectfully.

"Why are you so anxious! We finally came out once, Uncle Qian, do you think there are really those ancient ruins in Xingang? It doesn't look like it. The spiritual power here is thin and the resources are scarce. How could the ancient monks bury important materials? That’s why?”

"That's not necessarily the case. Over the past millions of years, the world has changed drastically. Before the great catastrophe, this place may have been a place of beauty and beauty. Two years ago, this place was filled with treasures. If it wasn't an ancient relic, it must have been born there. Lingbao is born," the old man said.
