The monks who had received a severe shock retreated twenty miles before stopping. Fortunately, the silver light of Jinwu City did not make any further moves, and they were slightly relieved.

  "Boss, what's the Symbol War Tower?" a subordinate asked with some confusion, while some cultivators around them looked equally perplexed and others showed a frightened expression.

  "A powerful tool for defending the city." The old man looked at Jinwu City and warned, "You must be careful. If you see any castle with something like that just now, you must be careful. The power of the Fu War Tower is great, it's to prevent the enemy from attacking, usually only in some larger cities will you see it, I didn't expect such a small city to have thirty-six!"

  "It's just thirty-six strongholds, with so many of us, we can take them down in one charge." A subordinate said, still somewhat dissatisfied.

  "Rush?" The boss sneered: "You'd better be honest with me, don't cause trouble for me. The opponent's strength is much stronger than ours! Don't underestimate those thirty-six symbol war towers, they're expensive, and even if we sell ourselves, we can't afford them."

  "So expensive?" The subordinate's eyes widened and he clicked his tongue in dismay.

  "Hmm, it's very expensive." The boss said: "Think about it, now we're worried about Linggu every day, others have the ability to build symbols and towers, do we still need to fight?"

  Everyone was speechless, this is relatively simple and straightforward, crystal clear. In Xiaoshan boundary, everyone is in a state of semi-starvation. The scarcity of Linggu Valley is a problem that every force needs to face directly.

  "If they don't lack spiritual grains, can we buy some from them?" a subordinate suddenly asked.

  The boss was taken aback for a moment, then thought that made sense. If the other party had the ability to build such a city, they would definitely not lack spiritual valleys. The current small mountain boundary is, you have crystal stones, but there's nowhere to buy spiritual valleys.

  Just then, several people flew out of Jinwu City.

  They arrived at an incredible speed, and in just a moment they flew to their front. There were four people in total, led by a tall and thin male cultivator who was as slender as a bamboo pole. Beside him stood three Golden Armor Guards.

  Everyone's gaze was drawn to the exaggerated bright red great sword held by the Golden Armored Guard. The three cultivators were wrapped in golden lock ring armor, standing calmly. The eldest felt a slight chill in his heart, as he couldn't see through the depth of the three Golden Armored Guards' cultivation, but the aura and faint killing intent emanating from their bodies made him sense extreme danger.

  "In the lower package, I am the commercial manager of Jinwu City." Bao Yi pretended to be elegant and bowed. Since he had been relying on his boss, he had been guarding the warehouse, and now he could finally do his own business, at this moment, he almost burst into tears.

  "Is that Bao?" The old man felt the name was somewhat familiar, but couldn't quite recall it for a moment. However, he didn't let his puzzlement linger on his face for too long and instead beamed with smiles: "Great to see you, Director Bao! Great to see you, Director Bao!"

  Everyone remembers the name of this city, Golden Crow City.

  "Really sorry." Bao Yi's expression made everyone's heart suddenly tighten.

  Observing facial expressions and body language is a fundamental skill that every merchant must learn, and Bao Yi naturally excels at it. On the surface, he appears calm and collected, but in his heart, he feels extremely satisfied. He thinks back to when he was just a small-time black market merchant, and now he can actually make such a large group of cultivators feel tense.

  There are about 500 cultivators in front of us, which is already a considerable force.

  Although he was pleased in his heart, he didn't want to mess up his first business. He wore a friendly smile on his face: "Since this city is really too small and cannot accommodate all of you, you can camp outside the city. Within 20 miles of the city's territory, any fighting is prohibited. If your side wants to camp within this range, you need to pay a fee, and our side will designate an area for your troops to camp. Your side can also choose to camp more than 20 miles away without providing any fees. In addition, there is a market in the city that should bring many surprises to everyone. If needed, the city will open at Chen time every day and close at You time. We are willing to provide services for all of you with sincerity."

  The boss heard such an official long speech, and secretly thought to himself, indeed worthy of a major power. Look at this demeanor, this temperament, even wanting crystal stones requires such technical content, making you lose your temper.

  He swallowed his saliva and said, "I wonder what kind of transaction goods your side accepts?"

  The small mountain boundary is chaotic to the extreme, and all kinds of order have long collapsed. Many forces agree that the things traded are often strange and bizarre.

  "Any crystal of three grades or above is acceptable. Of course, considering the convenience we can provide to you, we have a special discount service. The material requires three grades or above, while the magic treasure and jade slip require four grades or above."

  The old man was even more shocked, looking at them, others only collected four-grade or higher law treasures, but among these people, there were only two four-grade law treasures in total. Compared to others, they looked as poor as beggars.

  His voice grew even smaller: "Let's set up camp twenty miles ahead."

  "No problem." He handed the old man a paper crane and said, "If you need anything, feel free to contact me anytime. You all must be tired from traveling, so I won't bother you anymore. I'll take my leave now."

  After finishing the courtesy and bowing, he then led three Golden Armor Guards to rise into the air and fly back to the city.

  As soon as Bao Yi walked away, the old man immediately asked: "Who has the crystal stone?"

  There were still quite a few people who left some, but the number was still pitifully small. At this time, one of his subordinates reminded him: "Boss, don't we still have a batch of white bone stones? Why not sell them to them?"

  The old man patted his forehead, no mistake! The White Bone Stone is naturally shaped like a white bone, hence its name. It's a rather rare third-grade material. Suddenly feeling less embarrassed, the old man immediately became spirited: "Hmph, tomorrow we'll go into town and take a stroll, see if we can buy something good."

  At this time, his subordinate suddenly remembered: "Boss, I remember now!"

  "What's up?" The boss turned his face around.

  "It's Bao Yi!" the subordinate said: "Bao Yi is a black market merchant, who later ran to Nan Sheng Town. Unexpectedly, Wai Tang Da Zhang Lao had a grudge against him. Don't you remember? At that time, you even instructed me not to buy anything from him, lest we be remembered by Wai Tang."

  "I remember now!" The old man was suddenly reminded and immediately recalled: "It seems that he has climbed a big tree this time and prospered! The master of this city is also very bold, not even giving face to the outer hall."

  "Boss, you think it's possible that Nan Sheng Town was done by this group of people?" the subordinate suddenly asked in a low voice.

  The old man was startled and hastily whispered: "Don't talk nonsense! This kind of thing can't be said casually, or it will bring disaster upon yourself!"

  "Yes, yes, yes!" The subordinate's face also turned somewhat pale, nodding repeatedly.

  He waved his hand and drove the people under him to one side, and Lao Da also couldn't help but think of his worries. For some reason, the words he had just said seemed to linger in his mind like a ghost that wouldn't disperse.

  Was it really done by these people?

  Before today, he had never thought that the power of Xiaoyue Boundary would reach such a strong level, even surpassing the Outer Hall! The surprise attack on Nan Sheng Town had been discussed by everyone for some time, and they all came to a very uniform conclusion.

  The strength of the party launching a surprise attack is by no means inferior to that of the party on the outside!

  Could it really be them...

  The more he thought about it, the more frightened he became; he was destined to spend a sleepless night.

  Jin Wucheng, on the left, asked while working: "How is it?"

  Bao Yi Su stood respectfully on one side: "They seem to have very few crystal stones."

  "It doesn't matter," said Zuo Mo. "We can give it to them on credit."

  "Give it to them for nothing?" Bao Yi was shocked: "Wouldn't we be losing money then?"

  "Give it to them, they can go sell it to others." Zuo Mo was obviously very enthusiastic about the crystal stones, and he even stopped what he was doing, chuckling: "As long as there's a profit to be made from crystal stones, they'll do it more enthusiastically than anyone else."

  "What if they ran away with something?" Bao Yiman said worriedly.

  "What's there to be afraid of?" Zuo Mo didn't think much of it: "Where can they run to? They won't run. Here, they can keep earning crystal stones!"

  Jian Bao Yi was about to say something, but Zuo Mo waved his hand and said, "Even if we lose out, it won't be by much. Besides making a profit from the crystal stones, getting the Black Cauldron Cooking Team to sell is more important."

  A bag of misty rain.

  "With the Black Iron Battalion, do they still need Ling Valley?" Zuo Mo asked.

  "Not necessary." Bao Yi shook his head.

  "That's it." Zu Mo patiently explained, "Without Linggu, they won't be controlled by the Mingxia Sect. In the future when we fight against the Mingxia Sect, they won't be restricted by the Mingxia Sect and will help us instead. This is more important to us. Jing Shi is much better than Linggu."

  "If Ming Xiao Lao Zu were to come out, everyone would still be afraid..." said Bao Yi Dao.

  "A golden elixir rules a realm, have you heard of it?" Zuo Mo asked, and then answered himself: "Anyway, I haven't heard of it. Why is everyone so afraid of the Ming Jiao Sect? It's not the Ming Jiao Patriarch, but Ling Gu. Without the threat of Ling Gu, everyone would think, 'I may not be able to defeat you, but if I keep a distance from you, you won't be able to do anything either.' Anyway, there's no need to beg for your help anymore."

  "In other words, Xiaoyue Boundary is still a cage, but within the cage, everyone is not afraid of the boundary collapsing in the short term." Zuo Mo said: "No one likes Mingxiao Sect. In the absence of Linggu's threat, if we go to war with Mingxiao, they won't help Mingxiao Sect."

  Bao Yi suddenly enlightened, but immediately asked: "Will they help us? Eliminating the Ming Xiao Sect is beneficial to everyone!"

  "No way." Zuo Mo replied curtly, "You don't give them the crystal, why should they help you? They have to consider, what if we lose? What then? They'll still be stuck in this prison."

  Bao was silent, he knew his boss was right, but for some reason, he felt a little disappointed with the empty answer.

  Zuo Mo knew Bao Yi's emotions and comforted him saying: "Nothing much, we never had any expectations of them anyway, let's just rely on ourselves."

  "Ah! Boss, I know what to do now." Bao Yi nodded heavily, his eyes flashing with a faint, almost imperceptible glint of cold light.

  His heart was filled with the fervent passion of battle, and as a successful black market businessman, he decided to tell them in fact why he could stand firm among black market businessmen, and the biggest difference between black market businessmen and ordinary businessmen, all in one word.

  Black!
