Seeing that Feng Yang had run far away, Loong Teng also returned back to his tent and laid on a wooden chair, slowly pondering over the current situation. Firstly, his Blood Armored Division had already taken root, and his Town had also become his territory. Thus, he had to think of ways to develop it; secondly, he was about to get engaged to Dongfang Qing, so it could be said that their relationship was extremely close, and even if the emperor of the empire wanted to punish him, a serious injury to a general, he could be said to be powerless. Recently, he would also have to make a trip to the Blackrock City, after all, it would be unforgivable if Dongfang Wudi invited him.
After thinking about the recent events, Loong Teng sprung up from the wooden chair in a flash, his figure suddenly disappearing from the tent and appearing at the entrance of Vick Town City. With regards to Town, other than accompanying Old Steward when he first arrived, after staying inside for a while, he had never come here again.
Standing near the city gate of Town, Yun Che saw a city wall that was only two to three meters tall. The city wall was filled with twisted cracks, and its surface was also abnormally rough and rough.
Loong Teng passed through the city gate and headed inside. After hearing the Old Steward's introduction, he said that there were only twenty or thirty thousand people in the Town, but the area under the's jurisdiction wasn't small, and was comparable to the area of a small city in the flourishing central region of the empire. Of course, due to the lack of water, their area was huge, but it was completely useless.
Moreover, these men and women were all extremely tall, and their skin was the deep yellow color that Loong Teng pursued. At the moment, Loong Teng was wearing a bright and fresh made of material, with a unique style of robe, standing amongst these people, he could be said to be a crane in a flock of chickens. All of the people present immediately stopped what they were doing, and looked at Loong Teng with eyes full of suspicion and fear. After all, within the Town, there were only a few "big" aristocratic families that could wear such clothes.
Seeing that the crowd was looking at him in such a manner, Loong Teng knew that he had done something wrong. To have such a attire, it seemed to be very high profile in the Vick Town, but since he was already here, he was not willing to go back.
On the street, there were only three types of shops. One was the Magic Core store, two was the water shop, and three was the weapon shop. As for the other clothing shop, the inn, and the gambling house, they were all very poor, this was Loong Teng's first impression of Vick Town. After all, Loong Teng did not wish for the territory that he had gone through great difficulty to become like this.
"Eh? "There's quite a lot of people!" Loong Teng immediately noticed that there were multiple times more customers inside a Magic Core shop compared to the ones next to it. He immediately became interested and prepared to take a look.
Maybe because Loong Teng was dressed extravagantly, with a single glance, he could tell that he was not an ordinary person. The surrounding people immediately gave way to him, and let him enter first, afraid of offending the aristocrats. Just then, a middle-aged shopkeeper knew of Loong Teng's side, and asked: "Young master, you look unfamiliar, are you from a foreign land?"
Loong Teng laughed and nodded, then said: "Hehe, the boss has good eyes, the shop is good too!"
"Hehe, shame, shame, shame. I just hate myself for not being able to help more people! I can only do what I can! " After hearing what Loong Teng said, the middle-aged owner's face did not have a hint of happiness, instead, it was somewhat heavy.
"Oh?" Loong Teng gave a suspicious Oh, and did not continue asking, but instead looked around at the rows of water attribute Magic Core, and found a problem, these prices were actually not too different from the central region, and were not even several times, or even several times what Feng Yang had said. He secretly thought in his heart: "This shop owner is rather interesting! When we go back later and get Dark Dragon Guard checked out, what we lack right now are people who are extremely familiar with the place. "
"I heard that the price of water attribute Magic Core near Blackrock City is several times higher than the price in the central city. Looking at it now, it's not quite the opposite. Boss, your Magic Core here isn't much different from the price in the middle city!" Loong Teng looked at the Magic Core and said.
Cough, this young master, I am a local at the Vick Town. When I was young, I had once ventured outside, and after seeing the prosperity outside, I realized that all of the commoners, including those at the Vick Town, were living in deep waters and in unbearable pain, so I brought some money I earned outside and bought a batch of water attribute Magic Core s. I sold them to the commoners in the town at a flat price. The middle-aged owner slowly said as he touched the counter. A faint aura continuously emanated from his body.
Sensing the aura, Loong Teng nodded his head. No wonder he was able to continuously go and buy Magic Core, they were actually at the peak of the Fifth Level of Saint, even though the people Loong Teng came in contact with were basically above the God Level, and even if he was at the Lord God Level, he thought that the peak of the Fifth Level of Saint was still very low. After all, when Loong Teng was just reborn in this place, his family only had one God Level. As the marshal of the empire, Loong Ao's Cultivation Level only had Sixth Level of Saint. Even a top-notch family only had one God Level on the surface, so it could be imagined how high the standard of those commoners' martial skills were. Forget about Fifth Level of Saint, even First Level of Saint were considered very rare.
And this middle-aged shopkeeper, Cultivation Level at the peak of the Fifth Level of Saint, was a top-notch expert among the commoners.
"Admirable, admirable!" In the past seven years of his rebirth, he had always been thinking about how to protect his Loong Family the most. However, this time, if he had the chance to encounter something like this, and it was in his own territory at that, perhaps he would also do something about it.
With a shift in his thoughts, Loong Teng transformed into a Space Ring and took out more than ten Saint Level Magic Core. The big one was the size of a fist, and the small one was also the size of a thumb, with varying levels of colors from light blue to deep blue. He pushed the Magic Core in front of the middle-aged owner and said: "Hehe, boss's behavior makes me sweat a little. Therefore, none of the water attribute Magic Core were used by the others, and he did not want to exchange them for purple gold. Instead, he gave some of the Magic Core to the shop owner, in one way, he wanted to help the shop owner, and secondly, he wanted to make some preparations for capturing him, and thirdly, the people of the Vick Town were already his people, so he also wanted to do something that he should do.
"Th-this, these are all Saint Level Magic Core?" The middle aged shopkeeper rubbed his eyes and looked at the dozens of Magic Core placed on the counter by Loong Teng, and said in shock. One must know that a single Saint Level Magic Core could rival dozens, or even hundreds, of Magic Core that were not Saint Level, and his shop had been open for more than ten years, without even a single Saint Level Magic Core. Just these dozens of Magic Core, were already more valuable than all the other Magic Core in his shop combined.
The high level water attribute Magical Beast were mostly in the ocean or large lakes, while the middle-aged shopkeeper was only using Magic Core s who had not yet reached the Saint Level yet. They did not come from the ocean or large lakes, but were raised by humans. In the artificially reared Magical Beast bases, once a Magical Beast broke through to the Saint Level, just one Saint Level Magical Beast was much more valuable than one Saint Level Magic Core. In all these rearing bases, those that were sold to outsiders would basically be Magic Core that were far from reaching the Saint Level, as well as some living Saint Level Magical Beast that had unexpectedly made a breakthrough. Therefore, in order to obtain water attribute Magic Core, one would usually need to go hunting in the ocean or large lakes. The amount of manpower and material resources spent on it determined its expensive value.
So even though the middle-aged shopkeeper had sold Magic Core for more than ten years, he had only seen water attribute Magic Core a few times. This time, when he saw Loong Teng wave his hand and took out more than ten of them, he couldn't help but be shocked. If he knew that there were still over a hundred of them inside Loong Teng's ring, it was unknown whether or not he would faint. This water attribute Saint Level Magic Core was extremely lacking on land, but in the Sea Clan, it was the most basic and common thing.
"What?" Saint Level Magic Core? " At this moment, the surrounding customers were all suddenly attracted by the shopkeeper's words. They all turned to look at the blue light emitting from the object on the counter.
"Tsk tsk, so Saint Level Magic Core actually looks like this. Brother Guang, how much water do you think these Magic Core can produce?" A twenty-something year old curly haired young man licked his lips, looking straight at the Magic Core and said.
"A lot, definitely a lot. I'm sure that even that Magic Core can be used for at least four to five years!" Brother Guang at the side didn't look much different from the young man who had just started talking.
"Four to five years? Just the Magic Core that we buy every year will cost a few hundred Zijin Coin, aren't they thousands of Zijin Coin in four to five years? If you include the money to hire a water mage, it will definitely exceed more than ten thousand purple gold! " At this moment, the curly-haired young man beside him spoke again.
"Pah!" Brother Guang fiercely patted the curly haired youth's head and said: "Idiot, with this Magic Core, even without spending money, those Water Mages will still be extremely focused. They will personally come to your side and help you with the precipitation for free, after all, using Saint Level and Magic Core to release the magic, to increase the speed of their Cultivation Level is unrivaled!"
"Really?" The young man with curly hair exclaimed in shock when he heard Brother Guang's words.
Brother Guang did not reply. Instead, he looked at Loong Teng with eyes filled with incomparable bewilderment. He said in his heart: "Who exactly is this youngster? Even those noble families in Blackrock City couldn't take out so many Saint Level Magic Core in such a short period of time, could they? These things are really covetous, but they are not things I can have, but how can I get any benefits out of them? " Suddenly, his eyes lit up and a sinister smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. He did not linger and walked outside.
"Brother Guang, wait for me. Where are you going?" The young man with curly hair suddenly realized Brother Guang was lost in thought for a while, so he walked out slowly by himself and chased after him shouting.
Just then, in the Magic Core store, after Loong Teng's persuasion, the middle-aged shopkeeper bowed to him and said: "Young master, since it's like this, on behalf of all the citizens of Vick Town, I thank you for your generosity!" With that, he waved his hand towards the Magic Core, and all of the Magic Core returned back into the Space Ring.
Suddenly, the middle aged shopkeeper's eyes lit up, and took out a dark gray, fist-sized, diamond-shaped object from the Space Ring, giving it to Loong Teng. The surface of the object was actually drawing a Magical Beast roaring towards the sky, it was extremely vivid, the image was extremely vivid and lifelike.1
"This generous Young Master, this shop only has a few low-levelled Magic Core, even if I give it to you, you would definitely find it troublesome. The thing in my hand was obtained more than 10 years ago after killing a Beastman, it has been more than 10 years, I still do not know what it is, but the Magical Beast on the surface is very well drawn, it is a very good work of art! Today, I will gift it to you as repayment for your generosity! Of course, this thing can't compare to those Magic Core, but it is already the most valuable thing on my body other than the Magic Core, I hope you can accept my kind intentions! "
"This, this, alright, I'll accept it!" Seeing that the middle-aged shopkeeper was so determined, Loong Teng could only accept it. After observing it carefully for a while, he still could not determine what it was, and kept it in the Space Ring.
After a while, Loong Teng also prepared to leave, after all he still had to visit other places in the Town, but just at this moment, a voice sounded out, "Haha, Ma Ke, I heard that you met a noble today, and obtained a group of Saint Level Magic Core, cough, can you let little brother have a look?"
With one hand holding a folding fan and the other holding a sparkling teapot, a fatty swaggered over with dozens of people. After looking around, his gaze landed on Loong Teng as his eyes revealed greed, while the corners of his mouth revealed a faint smile.
"So this middle-aged shopkeeper's name is Ma Ke?" And this fat guy does not seem to come with good intentions. Looking at the dozens of strong men behind him, this guy is most likely from one of the many forces in the Vick Town! " Loong Teng ignored the fatty's gaze as he pondered uncontrollably.
"Hello, Baron John!" Ma Ke greeted the fatty before continuing, "Lord Baron, you're not here to enjoy the shade today. You've worked hard to come here!"
After John got the two servants to wipe the sweat off his forehead, he continued to speak, "Owner Ma Ke, I won't speak anymore nonsense. I want that batch of Saint Level and Magic Core s in your hands, name a price!"
Everyone present knew that this Fatty John was usually stingy, even if it was just 1 silver coin, he liked to split it into 2 uses. His family's water shop and Magic Core s shop had the highest prices within the Vick Town, but because he had connections in the Blackrock City and he was a noble himself, even if the people inside the Town took advantage of it, they would not fight with him. This further fueled his arrogance. In Vick Town, other than a few relatively large strength, no one else was worthy of his notice, so when he came to the Magic Core store, he directly spoke of the purpose of his visit. He did not believe that there would be any commoners who would dare to hate him, as for Loong Teng, although he was dressed brightly, their history was definitely not ordinary, but a strong dragon would definitely not be able to suppress a snake in terms of Vick Town, so even if he had a special background, John was not afraid of anyone.
"You, you, you, Baron John, I, Ma Ke, have opened a Magic Core shop for more than ten years in Vick Town. You should know that I have only sold my things to civilians, right?" Ma Ke suppressed the anger in his heart, he knew that he needed to calm down, and he must not fall out with John, otherwise this Magic Core shop would also come to an end.
"Hmph, civilian?" Who do you think can afford to buy these Magic Core? " After John finished speaking with disdain, he picked up the small teapot in his hands and slowly drank it up. After a while, he spoke again, "One Magic Core is worth five thousand purple gold, I'll take all the dozen or so of you!" After he finished speaking, he took out a bunch of scattered low level Magic Core of all kinds, as if he wanted to use these Magic Core to exchange.
