Chapter 992: The Strongest in the Western Region, the Xiuyun Empire
With the teleportation space station of Xinglan Temple and more than two months of long journey, Bai Chen and others finally arrived at the most powerful country in the western region of the mainland - Xiuyun Empire!
A group of people followed a carriage and walked on the street, looking at the ancient streets and alleys, vendors and passersby, everyone's eyes were full of curiosity.
They originally thought that people in the Xiuyun Empire were all wearing shorts and shorts, just like Xiaoyou.
However, when they came here, they discovered that the clothes worn by most people here were somewhat similar to those of the Fengyan Dynasty.
Is this really the Xiuyun Empire?
Bai Chen couldn't help but frowned when he saw these costumes that were the same as those of the other four regions.
Thirty thousand years have passed, and the Xiuyun Empire seems to be no longer what it was back then.
"Sir, this is called Guixue Town. Although it looks like a small town, the population density is very high, making it very suitable for business." Jing Yuan walked beside the carriage and said respectfully to the man with the mustache inside the curtain.
Apart from anything else, under Hong Lian's appearance, the scholar put on a mustache and put on a slightly greasy smooth face, and he was really no different from a wealthy businessman.
"Ahem." The scholar coughed twice and nodded with satisfaction: "Then let's settle here and see where there are takeaways."
"yes!"
Jingyuan took the yellow-brown horse brought by Bai Chen, climbed on the saddle, and looked for it in the distance.
"Wow, the streets and alleys here are so beautiful!" Xiaoya looked through the car curtain, her rosy face smiling broadly.
She is now wearing a rich dress, a gold hairpin, and light makeup. She looks like a young lady.
Moreover, her cynical look is similar to that of a young lady from a wealthy family, very natural.
"Ya'er, from now on our Buzhuang will settle down here in Guixue Town. Don't mess around." The scholar said in an old-fashioned way.
Hearing this, Xiaoya curled her lips: "Yes, dad!"
Everyone is used to this kind of disguise and can remember their identities by heart, which makes Bai Chen very happy.
It is not an easy task for a group of top experts to put down their stubbornness and pretend to be businessmen.
It is enough to show that Bai Chen still has a certain degree of prestige, which can make everyone so actively follow his instructions to carry out tasks.
They wandered back and forth for a whole day in Guixue Town, which was not a small town. Finally, as dusk approached, they finally found a fairly spacious courtyard in a slum area.
This courtyard seemed to have once been the residence of a wealthy family, but it had been deserted for a long time. The weeds and living things in the courtyard gave it a faint and cold air.
"Boss, our house has four courtyards and four houses. There is also a lotus pond in it. Twenty gold is really a pie-in-the-sky price." A man with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks bowed and smiled in apology. sincere.
The scholar shook his folding fan slightly, glanced at the spider web on the lintel, and shook his head helplessly: "Well, since you are not in the mood to discuss business, then we have to find another place."
"Hey, don't--" Seeing the scholar just leaving, the man hurriedly came around and almost begged, "In this case, I count you nineteen gold, which is already the blood price, and the others must not be like it." Locals, please don’t make things difficult for me anymore, I’m also selling houses for others.”
"Ten gold, I won't take one more cent." The scholar's expression remained unchanged.
"Ten, ten gold?!" The man's small eyes suddenly bulged, and he looked at the scholar as if he were looking at a monster: "Master, if you say that, then I might as well sell my wife and children to you, okay? Okay? You are really good at doing business, right?"
"What's the point of wanting your wife and children? Although your house is not small, it has been idle for so long. If you don't name it, I won't believe anything you say."
The scholar's words made the man who was almost about to cry suddenly change his expression.
Squinting his smiling eyes, the scholar continued: "If my prediction is correct, there must have been something unclean in this house, right?"
"This, this, absolutely not, absolutely not!"
The man shook his hands violently.
But at this moment, a strong man carrying a burden dropped the burden.
"Guys, you guys want to buy a house, don't buy this house, it's not clean!" the strong man shouted with a loud voice.
"Hey? Zhang San, what are you farting for me over there? What's the matter with you?" The sharp-mouthed man suddenly became anxious.
"Hey~ Who asked you to expose my shame last time by the river? You never thought that today would happen, haha!" The strong man patted his chest and said generously to the scholar: "Boss, you must not Listen to his nonsense, there was a rich businessman who lived in this house a hundred years ago, and later, for some unknown reason, the rich businessman’s entire family hanged themselves, so some people say this is an unjust death attempt!”
"You fart!" the man said angrily: "Get out of here now, I just won't expose your scars from now on!"
"Ha~ It's too late." The strong man sneered: "From then on, no one dared to buy this house, not to mention twenty gold, not even one gold~"
"You——" The man's face suddenly twitched. If his own physique was not too different from the opponent's, he would have hit him with a fist.
Just when the two of them were at war with each other, the scholar folded his fan and said with a calm smile: "Ten gold, if you want to sell it, just sell it. If you don't sell it, forget it."
"What?!" The man was shocked.
The real value of such a large ancient house is about twenty gold. However, due to bad things that happened in the house, the ancient house has never been sold.
Of course, there is no way this is not worth a single gold as Zhang San said. Ten gold is already considered a blood price.
After thinking again and again, the man finally took out the house deed with a grimace.
Pay the money with one hand and the house with the other.
After taking the house deed and watching the man leave in despair, the scholar smiled calmly, and then threw out eighty taels of silver to Zhang San, who was waiting for a reward.
Everyone then began to clean up the ancient house, cleaning it thoroughly from the inside out.
In a flash, it was three days later.
The brand-new courtyard, with its unique style of singing birds and fragrant flowers, is in sharp contrast to the surrounding mud houses of poor people.
Standing in front of the door, Bai Chen and the scholar raised their heads, glanced at the word "Baifu" on the lintel, and smiled knowingly.
This will be their home in the Xiuyun Empire from now on. The next step is to find out the situation in this country and then look for the necessary materials in the "Weeping Soul Cultivation Manual".
According to Bai Chen, among them, the Green Wood Fire Spirit Root and the Huigang Ksitigarbha flower can be found in this country.
