Demonic Cultivators could easily lose control of their state of mind and be influenced by negative emotions because they cultivated with demonic blood. Sometimes, their temperament would change and their daily behavior would be affected.
Even if the demonic blood they cultivated came from virtuous beasts such as dragons, phoenixes, qilins, and xiezhi, Demonic Cultivators tended to be bloodthirsty, cruel, and cruel.
This was the reason why many people regarded Demonic Cultivators as heretics.
According to Zhang Dongyun's thinking habits on the Cerulean Planet in his previous life, he guessed that this might be a genetic mutation or rejection.
Cultivating with one type of demonic blood was already dangerous enough. It could easily cause cultivators to lose control, let alone cultivating with two types.
In history, there were people who tried to cultivate with multiple types of demonic blood, but the result was that they would lose control and completely lose their humanity when they were at a low level.
Some people even self-destructed.
Since ancient times, Demonic Cultivators who could cultivate with two types of demonic blood were rare.
And those who could cultivate with two types of demonic blood to a high level could be counted on one hand.
"Ape Dragon King" Ao Kong was the youngest one so far.
Although he was young, his strength had long surpassed his predecessors. He could transform into a demonic ape and move mountains and seas. He could transform into a heavenly dragon and transform into a shapeshifting demonic dragon. He even fused with two types of demonic blood and created the Ape Dragon Transformation, which combined the strengths of two types of demonic blood and became famous all over the world.
However, after the change of the Immortals 30 years ago, he disappeared without a trace. There was little news about him.
Now that he suddenly heard that the Mountain-moving Demonic Ape was causing havoc in Yechuan County, Zhang Dongyun thought of him.
Shen Herong also had the same thought when he heard the news.
"Right now, there are only rumors about the Mountain-moving Demonic Ape. There is no news about Huan Tianlong or the Ape Dragon," Zhang Dongyun said Slowly.
Shen Herong said thoughtfully, "I don't know if it is Eleventh Brother. If it is him, he should be in trouble. His strength is limited now. Otherwise, he would have turned the Eastern Tang upside down."
Zhang Dongyun asked, "What role do you think he played in that incident?"
In the memory of Evil Emperor Ming Tonghui, he couldn't be sure whether Ao Kong was among the traitors in the Immortals' incident.
"Honestly speaking, I don't think Eleventh Brother is a traitor."
Shen Herong said softly, "But based on what we know now, I'm not sure."
Her answer came from the bottom of her heart. It was as Zhang Dongyun had expected.
From the way she addressed Ao Kong, it was clear that she was willing to trust Ao Kong emotionally.
In the past, the "Ape Dragon King" Ao Kong was extremely daring and arrogant, but when he got along with his siblings, he could be considered a straightforward person.
However, it was still the same.
Back then, they had also trusted Yang Li a lot …
Therefore, although he was inclined to believe in Ao Kong emotionally, Shen Herong still needed to verify it rationally.
She raised her hand and looked at Zhang Dongyun. "Big Brother, please allow me to go to Yechuan County."
"Right now, it's just a rumor. It might not be him," Zhang Dongyun said indifferently.
"So, I can go alone. Big Brother, you don't have to rush."
Shen Herong said, "If there's any news, I'll send a message to you immediately."
She suddenly thought of something and took out the azure-colored pearl again.
"This Azure Sky Eye is just right. Big Brother can understand the situation immediately."
Shen Herong smiled and said, "Just make some slight changes."
The petite girl gently wrote on the surface of the azure-colored pearl with one finger.
After a while, the azure-colored light on the pearl flashed. Then, under Zhang Dongyun's gaze, it gradually turned into a pure blue color.
Then, Shen Herong's finger tapped lightly. Suddenly, a faint light flew out of the pure blue pearl.
The light was as clear as water. After flying out of the pearl, it condensed in mid-air in the main hall. In the end, it seemed to form a round mirror.
The surface of the mirror rippled slightly like the surface of a lake.
Zhang Dongyun looked at it. The scene reflected on the mirror was the same as what he saw through the Azure Sky Eye.
"Big Brother, if you need anything, you can contact me through here."
Shen Herong said with a smile.
Her voice sounded as if there were two overlapping voices.
One came from her, and the other came from the mirror. Obviously, the voice came from the pure blue pearl and was then transmitted through the mirror.
"People in the city. Pick someone suitable and take them with you."
Zhang Dongyun said.
"Dark Cloud is the most capable, but he has to stay to help Big Brother. Xu Xingzhi wants to show his ambition under Dark Cloud. I'm happy to see it happen. It's not good to delay him."
The girl smiled. "Let Third Uncle of the Chen family take me and Chaoyan."
"Up to you. Be careful on your way." Zhang Dongyun waved his hand.
Shen Herong's expression became serious. "I'm going. Big Brother, take care too."
She left the hall and didn't take the initiative to look for Chen Jiezhi.
After a while, Chen Jiezhi came to pick her and Chen Chaoyan up under Mr. Dark Cloud's order.
"There's news about some of our clansmen in Yechuan County. Mr. Dark Cloud specially allowed me to leave the city to inquire about the situation. If it's true, I can take them back to Chang 'an."
Chen Jiezhi said, "Mr. Dark Cloud asked me to take you two out to gain experience. Remember not to wander around on the way."
"Yes, Third Uncle." Chen Chaoyan smiled brightly. "Ming Yixue", who was half a head shorter than her, was also happy. "Yes, Uncle Chen."
The three of them packed up, took three Thunder Dragon Colt, and left the city. They went all the way south and went straight to Yechuan County, which was thousands of miles away.
In the Daming Palace, Zhang Dongyun looked at the reflection of Shen Herong's Jewel in front of him and nodded in satisfaction.
There was nothing to do now, so he didn't need to keep an eye on it.
Zhang Zichen focused on the mission list in his System.
[Construction Mission 4.1 — Please establish a market in your city and establish a preliminary trade flow.]
Zhang Dongyun nodded slightly.
As the population increased, there was a preliminary trade in the city. However, it was scattered and small, and very dependent on the Qin State Prefecture outside the mountains.
Now that Invincible City was getting bigger and bigger, and the overall situation was getting more stable, he could consider developing the economy on a larger scale.
The biggest shortcoming now was the geographical location.
It was a barren mountain and not an important road. If he wanted to develop trade, there was a congenital shortcoming.
However, as long as he could ensure the safety of transactions and a large number of exclusive goods that were rare elsewhere, there was still a future.
Taking a step back, if normal trade could not be done on a large scale, then he would first make it the largest black market in the Eastern Tang …
"It shouldn't be that bad, right?"
Zhang Dongyun muttered to himself.
He first established the location of the market in the inner city.
One was the East Market, and the other was the West Market.
The East Market would be prepared as a trading place for cultivators.
The West Market would be prepared as a trading place for mortals.
In the future, when the population increased and the living places became more scattered, he could try to set up small markets near the residential areas, led by the West Market.
For now, he would first settle on the East Market and the West Market.
As the outer city continued to expand in the future, the land would be expanded, and the East Market and the West Market of the inner city would be upgraded and developed toward a high-end market.
When the time came, a new market would be built between the city walls.
Now, the first thing to do was to make the East Market and the West Market famous.
Among them, the East Market was more important for cultivators.
In the West Market, it was difficult for ordinary mortals to travel long distances.
The West Market could temporarily only be used by the people in the city and slowly become famous, and the people nearby would come to trade and operate it.
In the inner city of Chang 'an, golden lights flashed on both the east and west sides, and then a large number of buildings fell to the ground.
The people in the city were talking about it, and Xu Xingzhi, Guo Zi, and the others were very curious.
"Wu Qiong, you're in charge of the West Market."
In the hall, Mr. Dark Cloud casually ordered.
Wu Qiong, the leader of the Perak Dynasty, who had recently come to Chang 'an from Tongzhou Prefecture, hurriedly accepted the order. "I'll do my best."
He secretly sighed with relief.
He had been busy trying to build bridges and find a market for the turquoise crystal.
After the business of Dahe Longmen was settled, he had to stay in Tongzhou and be in charge of the transfer.
A few months had passed, and he finally had time to return to Chang 'an.
The Hanshan school and the Chen family had already gained a foothold in the city, and they had also received guidance from Mr. Dark Cloud, who taught them profound unique skills.
During these days, the Perak Dynasty had been gradually marginalized in Chang 'an, which made Wu Qiong feel very uneasy.
Now that Mr. Dark Cloud had entrusted the management of the West Market to him, Wu Qiong immediately felt relieved.
The East Market was for cultivators. Wu Qiong knew that his cultivation level was low, and the Perak Dynasty was not outstanding in this regard. It was easy for problems to arise if the East Market was handed over to them.
The West Market for mortals was suitable for them to use, and at the same time, it was rich. Even if they were honest and not greedy, they could still live a good life.
However, the premise of all this was that the Perak Dynasty had to properly manage the West Market.
At present, some of the trade in Chang 'an mainly relied on the Qinzhou Prefecture.
That was the territory of the Hanshan school.
But if they wanted to expand the business and make the market prosperous, the Perak Dynasty, who came from Tongzhou Prefecture, had their own advantages.
Tongzhou Prefecture, as a transportation hub, had always been prosperous, and the Perak Dynasty had its own connections.
How to attract the merchants from there to Chang 'an was the next problem that Wu Zongming had to consider.
To a certain extent, he wanted to poach the merchants of Tongzhou Prefecture …
Not to mention the difficulty, it would take a lot of time.
If he wanted to see results quickly, he could not relax in Qin Prefecture.
If he cooperated with the Hanshan school, it might be a win-win situation, but the initiative must be in his hands … Wu Qiong already had a plan in mind.
At this time, Mr. Dark Cloud looked at Xu Xingzhi.
"Xingzhi, you're in charge of the East Market."
The scholar in green took a deep breath and bowed. "I understand."
He had just finished his job as a teacher and became Mr. Dark Cloud's right-hand man. It was time for him to show his ambition.
Managing the market seemed to be dealing with merchants and was not normal government affairs, but it was undoubtedly a test.
Xu Xingzhi knew that he would have to face Mr. Dark Cloud's test next. If he could not pass, he would have to go back to teaching.
"You can spread the news about my Reincarnation Elixir."
Mr. Dark Cloud's tone was casual, as if he was talking about a trivial matter that was not worth mentioning.
But everyone in the hall, including Xu Xingzhi, breathed slightly faster.
The Reincarnation Elixir was called Reincarnation. It controlled life and death, and could almost revive the dead and regrow flesh and bones.
Hui Tianyu, Cao Feng, and the others were far away, and Chen Jiezhi and the others were close by. After taking the elixir, even the most serious injuries would be quickly healed.
Countless people dreamed of such a miraculous elixir.
When the news spread, the world would go crazy.
