The Hundred Thousand Mountains were located at the edge of the Great Wilderness. The undulating mountain ranges formed an endless expanse of dark green from afar.
Green mountains stretched endlessly, and dangerous peaks stood in great numbers. They towered into the clouds like sharp swords, piercing through the clouds. Halfway up the mountain, there was a five-colored mist. The misty rain was hazy, and the beautiful scenery was somewhat mysterious.
On this morning, a young man in indigo barbarian clothes flew leisurely on a beast bone magic tool with his hands behind his back.
It was Ye Kong. His flying magic tool was too slow, and it took him eight days to arrive at the Hundred Thousand Mountains. It was already the 16th of the month when he arrived.
Only when he arrived did he realize that the Hundred Thousand Mountains was too big. Where was the market? He had to search for it.
Originally, he had a reference point, which was the Leaning Mountain Village. However, because of the barbarian counterattack, the Leaning Mountain Village had long been demolished by the barbarians, so he no longer had a reference point.
Without a reference point, he could only search for it himself. Ye Kong looked around as he flew, and his consciousness called for Ancestor Acheron.
"Ancestor, you have more experience. Let me ask you, what are the characteristics of this market from afar?"
There was no answer.
"Hey! Ancestor! "
This old guy always dropped the ball at the critical moment. He didn't sleep for the past few days, but now that he was there, he couldn't stop sleeping.
"Forget it, I'll look for it myself." Ye Kong controlled the magic tool and changed direction, flying along the outer edge of the Hundred Thousand Mountains.
It was already the 16th of the month. If he couldn't find it, the market would be closed, so Ye Kong couldn't help but feel anxious. He hated his beast bone magic tool for being too slow.
Just as he was feeling anxious, he suddenly heard the sound of wind breaking behind him. A big black shadow caught up with him at a speed several times faster than Ye Kong.
Ye Kong hurriedly looked back and suddenly gasped. He saw a huge black boat-shaped magic tool carrying seven or eight cultivators flying quickly towards him.
Damn it, comparisons are really infuriating. I'm still playing with my feet, and you guys are already on a luxury bus.
In a panic, Ye Kong hurriedly dodged.
Along the way, he also encountered some cultivators from the Barbarian Clan and the Northerner Clan. Fortunately, everyone was busy rushing to the market square, so no one attacked an early stage Aura Refining cultivator like him.
Of course, if he discovered a cultivator, he would try his best to hide and stay as far away as possible to prevent the other party from harboring evil intentions.
However, today, this flying ship was difficult to dodge. It was too big, and it flew straight at Ye Kong. Ye Kong was so startled that his legs swayed, and he was on the verge of collapsing.
"Not good, they come with ill intentions! Old Ancestor, wake up, there are eight of them! Among the four Aura Refining cultivators, three of them had reached the Aura Refining realm. Oh my god! There's also a tenth layer Qi Refinement cultivator, Great Perfection! "
It was impossible for Ye Kong not to panic. The eight people who appeared were indeed very powerful, especially the one who was at the consummate level. He was about to step into the next realm, the Foundation Building Realm. Then, he would be a real immortal. If he really wanted to attack Ye Kong, he would be killed in the blink of an eye.
Out of habit, Patriarch Acheron did not react at all.
However, the large ship did not knock over Ye Kong. Instead, it steadily stopped in front of Ye Kong.
Only then did Ye Kong notice that there was a large flag on the bow of the black ship. It had a black background and red words, and on it was written the word "Yi" in flamboyant calligraphy.
"Little friend, don't panic. This Old Man means no harm. Our Yi Clan only does business, we never hurt people." An old man in yellow stood at the bow of the ship and smiled.
"Then fly slowly. It's easy to get into an accident this way, old man." Ye Kong replied with a smile.
No wonder they had such a large flying artifact. It was a merchant ship that did business. Merchants were really awesome and overbearing. Unexpectedly, there were also businessmen in the cultivation world. In the past, he thought that cultivators only buried their heads in cultivation.
Actually, merchant ships were not willing to stop randomly because they had goods and money on board! Killing and robbing people was a small matter in the cultivation world. The goods and wealth on a merchant ship were the object of envy for immortal bandits and robbers.
Therefore, other than hiring a large number of experts, merchant ships were also very careful when traveling. They would not stop easily.
There was a reason why they stopped in front of Ye Kong today.
This trade route through the Hundred Thousand Mountains was just opened by the Yi Clan. It could be said that this was their maiden voyage. Therefore, they were very unfamiliar with it. The Yi Clan was a typical northern clan. They had never interacted with the barbarians before.
Therefore, the captain of the ship wanted to get in touch with the barbarian cultivators. He wanted to find out their trading rules, living habits, and the market price of various goods. It would be best if he could establish a relationship with a large barbarian sect.
It was risky to invite a high level cultivator on board. On the other hand, a low level cultivator like Ye Kong was very safe. That was why he found Ye Kong.
"Accident? Haha, little friend, that's interesting. "The old man in yellow laughed and asked," I wonder if little friend is also going to Hundred Insect Camp's market? "
"Hundred Insect Camp?" Ye Kong was confused. He had never heard of this sect before. However, when he heard about the market, he still replied in a daze, "That's right, that's right."
"I see that little friend is flying very leisurely. Do you want to board the ship and travel together?" The old man in yellow said leisurely was a polite way of saying that you're flying too slowly. Do you want us to give you a ride?
Ye Kong was complaining that he was too slow and could not find a place. When he heard that someone wanted to give him a ride, he was instantly overjoyed.
"Sure, sure." He quickly agreed.
"Please." The old man in yellow made a gesture for Ye Kong to fly up.
However, the moment Ye Kong flew over, his heart sank. Could it be that they wanted to harm him? Why would they bring him along for no reason? Was there such a good person? Once he boarded the pirate ship, it would be hard to get off.
With this thought, Ye Kong suddenly became hesitant.
Seeing Ye Kong hesitate, the Great Perfection Qi Refinement cultivator on the ship immediately sneered, "You're just a poor early stage Qi Refinement cultivator. Do you think you're worth our time?"
A Qi Refinement level eight cultivator next to him immediately laughed, "Do you think we'll snatch the beast bone artefact under your feet? Haha, ten spirit stones is enough to buy three of them. "
Everyone immediately laughed. Another cultivator urged the old man who was driving the ship, "Uncle Gao, let's hurry. What can a low-level cultivator like him know? Let's not waste our time!"
The old man called Uncle Gao thought about it and agreed. However, they had already invited Ye Kong. If they left him behind, they would offend him.
Businessmen always welcomed people with smiles. Unless it was absolutely necessary, they would not want to offend anyone. Don't be fooled by this small cultivator who was only at the third stage of Qi Refinement. Who knew who was behind him?
This was barbarian territory. He was unfamiliar with the people and the place. In the future, he would have to travel frequently. It would not be good if he made enemies.
Uncle Gao laughed again, "Little friend, don't be afraid. You barbarian cultivators might not know of our Yi Family's business. Our business has always been fair and honest. We are the number one business in Cang Nan. Why would we be greedy and attack you?"
Uncle Gao thought about it. If this small cultivator continued to spout nonsense, then he would ignore him and hurry on with his journey.
Ye Kong was mocked by those cultivators, but he did not get angry. What they said made sense.
So he cupped his hands and said, "Seniors, I apologize for offending you just now."
After Ye Kong apologized, he flew to the ship, jumped off the beast bone Dharma artifact, and stood still.
Ye Kong's apology did not get a response from those cultivators. Cultivators had always respected cultivators who were stronger than them. Who would want to pay attention to an early-stage Qi Refinement cultivator who could not even use an Dharma artifact?
Those cultivators did not even pay attention to Ye Kong. Instead, they looked into the distance with their hands behind their backs, pretending to be powerful.
Uncle Gao controlled the ship and continued to fly. Then, he walked to Ye Kong's side and said with a smile, "I am the Yi Family's business manager, Gao Yuanyang. May I know which sect you are from?"
Ever since Ye Kong heard about Zhang Wude's experience, he decided not to use his real name when he went out to do things to avoid getting his family exterminated.
This time, he took out the barbarian cultivator's attire from the barbarian cultivator's storage bag and put it on, pretending to be a barbarian cultivator. This way, no one would think that he was the eighth young master of the Ye Family in the southern city.
And because of this attire, Gao Yuanyang thought that he was a barbarian cultivator.
"Manager Gao, you are too polite. I am a young cultivator from the Bone Spirit Sect, Xia Hui." Ye Kong replied politely.
Since these people were not barbarians, it should not be a problem for him to pretend to be Xia Hui. He could not possibly say that he was an itinerant cultivator.
"Oh, the Bone Spirit Sect." Gao Yuanyang pretended to have heard of it. In fact, he had never heard of such a small barbarian sect.
However, no matter how small a sect was, it would at least have a Yuanying Patriarch.
This was an unwritten rule in the Cang Nan Continent. Only a Yuanying Patriarch could establish a sect. However, there was another phenomenon. After a Yuanying Patriarch established a sect, the Patriarch ascended or passed away, and there was no new Yuanying Patriarch. Then, the sect would inevitably decline in the next hundred years until it was lost.
In fact, this was the case with the Bone Spirit Sect.
Gao Yuanyang did not know and did not dare to offend them. Thus, he asked, "I heard that there are many kinds of spiritual insects in the market square of the Hundred Insect Village. Therefore, the Family Head ordered me to open this trade route. However, we do not have any experience in dealing with barbarian cultivators. I wonder if little friend can tell us a thing or two?"
"Uh, this …" Ye Kong was speechless. He thought, "You ask me, but who should I ask? I am a fake. I also lack experience in dealing with barbarians. "
He was afraid that the old man would kick him off the boat. He paused for a moment and said, "Uncle Gao, in fact, it is very easy to deal with us barbarians. We barbarians are forthright, honest, and honest. As long as the other party does not set any traps for us, it is very easy for us to get along. We especially welcome reputable merchants."
Ye Kong's ability to boast was something that came out of his mouth. The barbarians were a tribe of the grassland. Of course, they were forthright. Moreover, they were very closed-minded, so they definitely hoped to have merchants to trade with.
Gao Yuanyang did not doubt it. As a businessman, he liked honest and forthright customers the most. Why? It was easy to guess.
It seemed that this trade route would really make a lot of money for the merchant.
Gao Yuanyang raised his hand and took out a palm-sized token. He smiled and said, "This is the token of our Yi Clan. Please accept it, little friend."
Giving a gift at the first meeting? This guy likes it.
"So polite? I do not accept gifts without merit. "Ye Kong's words were polite, but he could not wait to take the token.
"May I know what this token is used for?" The token felt neither metal nor wood in his hand, but it felt very real.
Gao Yuanyang smiled and said, "This is the Yi Clan's VIP token. With this token, you can enter the Yi Clan's branches and enjoy preferential treatment."
Oh, so it was a VIP card. Ye Kong kept the token in his storage bag, then asked with a smile, "Thank you, Uncle Gao. How much discount can I get with this token?"
"When our Yi Clan opens in Hundred Vermin Camp, you will know once you try it." Gao Yuanyang blushed. It seemed that the discount on the card was not that great. The old man was too embarrassed to tell him. But what good could it be if he gave it to you for free?
However, Ye Kong did not mind. It was fine if he did not give it to someone else. When he was on Earth, he often went to the KFC near Hanzheng Street to extort coupons and use them to pick up girls.
With the gift, the old man asked more easily, "May I know how much the Hundred Vermin Camp's spirit worms sell for?"
"Uh, cheap. Isn't that what they do?" Ye Kong continued to bluff.
But the old man had more questions. "Are there mid-grade and high-grade spirit worms for sale? What materials and items do barbarian cultivators need the most? Where is the best location for the Hundred Vermin Camp's market? Are there many barbarian cultivators coming and going? "
Ye Kong felt a headache coming on. F * ck you, I'm not your investment consultant!
