novelThe Profiteers in the City Illuminated Their Dreams

Don't be superstitious about the power of morality. The good and evil of human nature exist relative to each other. Absolutely flawless morality does not exist. If it appeared, it would be hypocritical or short-lived, just as the purest white jade could not resist the erosion of time.
Daoist Wild Crane said, "More than 30 years ago, the Supreme Primordial Sage used the spatial and temporal passageway of the Ancient Skyquaking City to send a peak Ninth Grade Great Demon to the surface world."
"I've heard of this before. That Great Demon is the Drought Demon, right?"
Ye He nodded his head, "Exactly. That was a test. The first purpose was to test Sun Mingshen's strength. The second was to test the stability of the ancient city passageway. The results showed that Sun Mingshen's strength was above the Utmost Sage. With a slight improvement in the spatial and temporal passageway of the Ancient Shudan City, he could teleport experts above the ninth grade."
Hanba's realm was at the peak of the ninth grade, but his true strength wasn't inferior to that of a supreme saint Empyrean. In the end, he died at Sun Mingshen's hands, and he didn't even have time to shatter the void and return to the Skyshaking Origin Realm. From this, it could be seen how powerful Sun Mingshen was.
Humans in the surface world were affected by the chaos of the Heavenly Dao, so it was very difficult for them to have long lifespans, so it was almost impossible for a ninth grade or above expert to appear. Sun Mingshen was a big difference. He possessed twin immortal lattice endowments and outstanding Su Hui, which was why he had only used a few decades to reach a realm that no one had touched for thousands of years in the Ancient Era's Great Virtues. Daoist Wild Crane was in charge of important secrets in the Jade Void Sect, so he was familiar with this part of the past.
Sun Mingshen was called a Saint Master. If he really was like what Ye He said, he could be called a supreme Saint if he was the reincarnation of the soul of the former Yuansheng Duke Zhou. But at this moment, Gu Tianyou felt that he was just a father. Before the humans on the surface were about to face a calamity, it was inevitable that they would have a little selfishness.
Although the Skyquaking Origin Realm was a great challenge for anyone, Gu Tianyou's ability to survive and adapt didn't seem to be that difficult. If he followed this line of thinking, perhaps Monk Yuankong had thrown Brother Tianyou here not just for the sake of Tianyou City's inheritance?
Gu Tianyou didn't want to think further, because he didn't want to think too well of Sun Mingshen. As an abandoned child, being soft-hearted is equivalent to being stupid. As an overlord, a person without a sense of self-protection was not qualified to protect others. Brother Tianyou had lived until now, and today, he had relied on his shrewdness and ruthlessness.
"For the time being, those things are not something we can worry about. What I want to know most now is where in the Great Sun Dragon City is the easiest to find people?" Gu Tianyou didn't want to continue talking about Sun Mingshen anymore. He turned to Qiu Ling'er and instructed, "After entering the city, I'll leave this Hu Kui to you. Don't let him speak casually again, in case something bad happens."
The little fox girl wore the robe she had snatched from Hu Kui and sat barefoot on the head of the Fire Crane. Poor Hu Kui was a dignified rank eight Great Demon. The famous village head could only reveal his true body and lay there as a pet. Qiu Ling'er looked over and the fellow immediately curled up in pain.
"It's alright. I tied its vocal cords in a knot. Not to mention human language, even beast language can't call it out."
This little creature was strange, mischievous, and interesting.
'"If it's easy to find people, then it's naturally the Secret Division of the Governor-General's Mansion. They can share information with the Heavenly Court of the Divine Kingdom and manipulate the Heavenly Eyes invented by the people of the Great Western Continent. It's not even a bit slower than those Divine Sense Abilities of the Most Sacred Virtue to search through the heavens and earth." Daoist Wild Crane said, "It's a pity that both of us have problems with our identities. If we go, we'll be caught in the trap. We'll have to take a step back and go to the Temple of Light to find out."
Gina added: "There is a crystal prophet living on the 8800 th floor of the Temple of Light. He is very good at this business. As long as we have enough gold coins, there is no such thing or person that we cannot find."
"Damn it." Gu Tianyou grinned and said, "My head hurts the moment I say the word gold coin. A man can't be without power for a day, a little man can't be without money for a day. Right now, I have neither power nor money. The first thing I need to do when I enter the city is to sell this bird first. I have to find a way to make money first, or else my heart will always be empty."
The Heavenly Dao in the Sinian Origin Realm was smooth and orderly. With a stable regime, there is naturally a stable monetary policy and a law of survival that is all about money. In this world where kings talk about size, wanting to sink one's face and preach that absolute strength is nothing but floating clouds in front of one's eyes. If one needs to reach out and snatch anything good, then snatch it away. That is nonsense and foolish nonsense.
When it came to trade, Gina had the most say. As he spoke, he continued to speak his mind. She said that there were four kinds of currencies in circulation in the Sinian Origin Realm. Apart from spirit jade and gold coins, there were also two most common basic currencies, silver and federal paper. Within the Divine Kingdom, federal banknotes were not allowed to be used, but could be used to trade with merchants from Great Western Continent. Silver, on the other hand, was very popular in the Great Western Confederacy.
The highest grade was still spirit jade, but after all, the quantity was relatively rare. Comparatively speaking, the most widely circulated hard currency was still gold coins, which were divided into federal gold coins and witch kingdom gold coins. Because it was convenient, even the Divine Kingdom used federal gold coins to pay the soldiers. For example, an eight-man Heavenly Armament could receive about five Witch Kingdom gold coins a month.
Located at the intersection of the North Sea and the West Pole Sea, is the hub of the fortress that connects the two continents, It was the most traded country in the entire Sinian Origin World. In Gina's words, as long as it was something that could be sold in the Sinian Origin World, regardless of whether it was the most sophisticated technology in the Great Western Continent or the most precious treasures in the Sinian Ancient Land, it could be bought there as long as there was enough capital.
As he spoke, he was already close to the sky above the Great Sun Dragon City. Suddenly, a strange beast appeared in front of him, its feathers and fur as bright as sunlight. The lion-like back had yellow-brown fur, and the eagle-like head and forelimbs were covered with golden feathers. The feathers on the wings were blue and scarlet, and the beak and feet that resembled an eagle were dazzling golden, but the claws were black. Looks majestic and powerful.
There was a person sitting on the back of this strange beast. He was carrying a silver spear, a golden tassel crown, and his entire body was covered in armor. His face was like a black pot, and his beard was densely packed. His appearance was extremely powerful. He opened his mouth and asked, "Who is this person? Do you know the rules for entering the city?"
According to Ye He's instructions, Gu Tianyou replied in a loud voice, "This old man, Liu Nanbing of the Blazing Fire Sect, also entered the city to trade for a few cultivation items. Please make it convenient for the official family."
The golden-armored patrol guard nodded when he heard this and said, "So it was the Blazing Fire Ancestor who arrived. In the past, he had always traveled in the carriage of the Fire Lincoln Stallion. Why did he come out so easily today?" As he spoke, he took the initiative to move aside.
Gu Tianyou cupped his wrists and cupped his hands."It's not simple. It's just a rush from an emergency. I can't care about the ritual anymore."
The golden-armored patrol guard said, "I see. Patriarch, please enter the city."
The two sides were staggered apart. Qiu Ling'er drove the Fire Crane into the city. The moment it entered the Dragon City, the Fire Crane suddenly stopped moving and staggered to the ground. Wild Crane introduced, "There is a restriction in Dragon City. Apart from the Griffin Beasts patrolling the city, flying spirit beasts below rank eight are not allowed to fly."
"A flying spirit beast won't let it fly. What about a cultivator who has a Dao?"
Wild Crane said, "This restriction is aimed at all creatures below the eighth grade. Naturally, those below the ninth grade will also be included."
"Holy sh*t!" Gu Tianyou cursed angrily and said, "I just found the feeling of flying. I'm coming to a no-fly zone. Is he really living to see a ghost?"
Zina said, "As long as you break through the eighth grade limit, a ninth grade character will not be included. For example, this little sister Ling'er can fly freely in the city."
Gu Tianyou waved his hand and said, "Forget it, forget it. If you don't want to fly, then don't fly. Let's get back to business first. The Taoist priest has worked hard to sell this fire crane first."
When they entered the city, they saw that the city gate was dozens of meters tall. In the past, all sorts of species were standing shoulder-to-shoulder. There were Giants who were several meters tall, as well as demon characters, beast heads, and dressed beasts. They squeezed together and slowly rushed into the city, sweating like rain and farting like a storm.
Ye He said, "When it comes to trading, I'm also an amateur. I heard that there is a market in the city that specializes in flying spirit beasts. We might as well go there and take a look first."
............
"Taoist priest, is this bald-tailed Fire Crane for sale?" A bearded, tall, blue-nosed, and blue-eyed businessman from the Western Continent approached and asked.
Gu Tianyou and the others listened from behind. Daoist Wild Crane responded to them alone and nodded, "It's for sale."
The merchant curled his lips. Shaking his head, he said, "This one of yours sells badly, "Although you're still very young, it looks like you're old enough to lose all your feathers. Furthermore, there's a slight problem with your bloodline. The Fire Crane is a fire dragon subspecies, and it pays attention to its scaled neck phoenix feathers. You have too many feathers on your head, and your butt is bare. It's like you've been crossed by a pheasant. If you buy it at a high price, you won't be able to make money."
Daoist Wild Crane said with a furious expression, "Did you all make an appointment? Why is it all in this tone? Are you only planning to give me two hundred gold coins?"
The bearded merchant's eyes widened and he said, "What two hundred gold coins? Do you really dare to say that I can only offer one hundred and fifty gold coins? If you want to sell it, then sell it. If you don't want to sell it, then forget it. A second-hand mixed-haired fire crane looks like something has happened. Do you want to sell it for a new one?"
"Hahaha." Gu Tianyou could hear it clearly from afar. He couldn't help but laugh out loud and said, "Damn him, this fellow is really too interesting. What a second-hand mixed-fur flame crane. You also have today's ox nose. I'm so happy."
"What's so funny about that? These people are clearly monopolizing. They are all bargaining in one breath. They are clearly colluding to reduce the price. I don't believe that you can sell it for a good price if you sell it." Gina said unhappily.
Gu Tianyou chuckled and said, "You're not convinced, are you?"
Gina glanced at Qiu Ling'er and snorted.
Gu Tianyou nodded his head and said, "Let me show you today. The billions of dollars that Master has in the surface world are not blown by the strong winds."
