#2186 - Qingfeng City Lord's Request

"Legendary God of War, the City Lord may need your help."

The chief manager of Qingfeng Merchant House looked at Jun Wuxie with a face full of hope.

"This matter can be discussed later. I came here to find you to consign artifacts.

Before the evil demons attack the city, I can enhance the strength of the cultivators and sell them for a good price."

"Legendary God of War, you are right. Currently, the demand for artifacts is indeed more urgent. The second-tier ordinary artifacts in our store are almost being snatched up like crazy.

If you want to consign artifacts, just give them to us. Our Qingfeng Merchant House will help you sell them for free, without charging a single commission!"

"That won't do. We still have to follow the rules of your merchant house. Charge as much commission as you should. How can we let you work for nothing?

Since it is cooperation, both parties should benefit. We can't let you do the work without taking any reward."

"It is our honor for Qingfeng Merchant House to be able to help you. Please don't stand on ceremony!"

"No, we have to follow the rules."

"This… Since you insist so much, then we will do as you say."

The chief manager respected him even more in his heart.

Such a great benefit was offered, but the Legendary God of War didn't even want it. His mind and bearing made him admire him endlessly.

Although the commission rate is only five percent.

However, with the Legendary God of War's ability, cooperating with their Qingfeng Merchant Association, the number of equipment sold in the future will inevitably be astonishing, and the resulting benefits will be immeasurable.

Therefore, five percent will also be an astronomical figure in the future.

"Then it's settled.

All the artifacts I want you to sell this time are in this Naring. I haven't carefully counted the specific number.

As for how to price them, you can handle it.

My suggestion is that artifacts below the King level, regardless of their tier, should be priced slightly cheaper. Artifacts above the King level should be sold in the form of auctions.

Especially the Ancient Artifacts, set the starting price higher."

"Why is that?" The chief manager was puzzled, "According to the current stage, rare artifacts are already very rare. Even if the price is too high, once they are put on sale, they will inevitably be snapped up. Why do you want to sell them cheaply?"

Jun Wuxie shook his head gently, "The way of humans is to take from those who have not enough and give to those who have more. The way of heaven is to take from those who have more and replenish those who have not enough.

Those who buy artifacts below the King level are basically small and medium-sized forces or loose cultivators. Large forces do not lack low-grade artifacts because they have many strong people.

Small and medium-sized forces and loose cultivators compete for resources with large forces in the entire world, which is already difficult. It is naturally not easy to obtain artifacts.

We should try to lock our profit-making target on the big forces, instead of making the already difficult people even more difficult."

"This old man understands. Legendary God of War, you want to practice the way of heaven.

In my life, I have never seen someone with your bearing and mind. This old man will definitely do as you say!"

As the chief manager said, he picked up the Naring, opened it, and his expression instantly froze. His pupils shrank to two points, and his eyeballs almost fell to the ground.

He was so shocked that the Naring in his hand fell, and it made a tinkling sound on the jade table.

"This… so many?"

He simply couldn't believe his eyes.

The artifacts inside the Naring were piled up like a mountain, at least tens of thousands of pieces, and the number of rare grades and above was very alarming!

How long has the Secret Realm been open?

Legendary God of War, after a trip to the Wind Demon Palace, he actually obtained so many artifacts.

Most of these artifacts are third-tier, and some are second-tier.

There are also many Ancient Artifacts inside, which should all come from the Emperor-level Wind Demon.

"These artifacts are nothing. There will be more in the future.

Now, Chief Manager, take me to see the City Lord. I don't know if I can help."

"Oh, good, good, good. This old man will accompany you to the City Lord's Mansion."

The chief manager came back to his senses, carefully put away the Naring, and said: "The income generated from the sale of artifacts, I will have someone help you process an exclusive card at that time. The exclusive coins will be stored in the card.

At that time, you can use the exclusive card to withdraw money from the Secret Realm Bank in any town in the world, and you can also directly swipe the card to deduct money when purchasing items in various merchant houses."

While saying this, the chief manager accompanied Jun Wuxie and the others out of the room.

On the way, the chief manager said: "Legendary God of War, you haven't been back to the city for long, right?

Now, many shops have been opened in the city, selling various things that were not sold before.

For example, the Peculiar Goods Merchant House, its progress was also started by you.

That Peculiar Goods Merchant House has many good things for sale.

For cultivators, the most practical thing should be the Death Substitute Talisman."

"What?"

Jun Wuxie couldn't help but be stunned when he heard about the Death Substitute Talisman.

"You said that the Peculiar Goods Merchant House sells Death Substitute Talismans?"

He was very surprised. This kind of thing can replace one's own death.

It means that in this Secret Realm, one can increase one's life.

He thought that the acquisition channel would be very special and the difficulty would be extremely high.

He didn't expect that it would be directly sold in the Peculiar Goods Merchant House?

"Yes, the Peculiar Goods Merchant House not only sells Death Substitute Talismans, but the price is not high. The most ordinary Death Substitute Talisman only costs ten thousand coins.

I believe that after a while, even the most ordinary cultivators should be able to afford it.

The intermediate Death Substitute Talisman costs one hundred thousand, and the effect is better. It can be used five times and has a certain God-locking effect, reducing the chance of dropping artifacts and other items worn on the body when dying.

The advanced Death Substitute Talisman is very expensive, one million each, and can be used ten times. It has a stronger God-locking effect."

Jun Wuxie listened and fell into silence.

He did not expect that the Peculiar Goods Merchant House would sell Death Substitute Talismans, and he felt that it was not in line with the Secret Realm Master's temperament.

"Chief Manager, have you heard of this kind of thing, Death Substitute Talisman, before?"

"I have heard of it, but I rarely see it.

In my impression, the Death Substitute Talisman should be a very rare thing.

This time, the Peculiar Goods Merchant House opened and directly sold Death Substitute Talismans. This old man also dares to find it incredible.

The people of that Peculiar Goods Merchant House also don't know where they come from.

Anyway, I have never seen them before, and there was no Peculiar Goods Merchant House in our city before."

Jun Wuxie nodded, fell into silence, and stopped talking.

They walked out of the inner hall, attracting countless gazes.

Everyone in the hall was shocked.

That old man with white hair and beard, is he the chief manager of Qingfeng Merchant House?

It seems that I saw him on the day the merchant house opened!

Now, the chief manager of Qingfeng Merchant House is actually personally accompanying a young man. Looking at his expression, he seems to be extremely respectful to that young man, which is shocking and incredible!

What is the identity of the chief manager of Qingfeng Merchant House?

Such a person, in this city, is a powerful existence!

Who is the man he is accompanying so respectfully? Next to him is a masked woman in a green dress, followed by a blue, furry, unicorn beast.

The young man and woman look like cultivators, but it seems not?

After all, which cultivator has such a presence?

What a joke, can a cultivator let the chief manager of Qingfeng Merchant House accompany him?

And so respectfully?

Could it be the young master of the native forces of this world?

Just as people were thinking and speculating about Jun Wuxie's identity, they had already walked out of the Qingfeng Merchant House hall.

They came all the way to the front of the City Lord's Mansion.

The City Lord's Mansion has a wide construction area and high city walls. There are two teams of guards with knives guarding the gate.

These guards are very strong, and the aura lurking in their bodies is amazing.

Jun Wuxie observed for a while and estimated that these guards with knives in the City Lord's Mansion should be fourth-tier strongmen, and their grade should be at the King level.

The creatures in the Secret Realm, what King level, Emperor level, God level, are similar to the division of the God-forbidden domain, representing the intensity of their growth and the strength of combat power in the same realm.

The King level is roughly equivalent to the Mythical domain, the Emperor level corresponds to the Ten Directions Myth, the God level corresponds to the Hundred Worlds Myth, and the Transcendent God level is equivalent to the Eternal Myth.

This is the setting of the Secret Realm Master, endowing these creatures with abnormal growth intensity.

As for the Immortal level and the Absolute Immortal level above the Transcendent God, whether they are equivalent to the Eternal Myth and the Epoch Myth, it is not known.

He has not yet encountered creatures above the Immortal level, so it is difficult to judge.

However, the God-forbidden domain is the God-forbidden domain, and the grade is the grade. It is possible to find some logic by forcibly comparing them, but the two cannot really be equated.

When he sees the City Lord, he can ask about it.

From the sale of Death Substitute Talismans in the Peculiar Goods Merchant House, Jun Wuxie had a very strange feeling in his heart.

In his opinion, under normal circumstances, the Secret Realm Master should not put Death Substitute Talismans into the merchant house.

If the distribution channel is changed to the founder of the Peculiar Goods Merchant House, it is understandable.

After all, that founder's whereabouts are erratic, and encountering him requires chance.

"It seems that I have to ask the Secret Realm Master sometime.

Whether the sale of Death Substitute Talismans in the Peculiar Goods Merchant House was set up by him back then, or was it recently added temporarily.

If it was arranged back then, then the people of the Peculiar Goods Merchant House should not all be unfamiliar faces. Even the chief manager of Qingfeng Merchant House does not know the group of people in the Peculiar Goods Merchant House, which is very strange and illogical.

There is probably something wrong with this matter."

He thought this way in his heart, and he had already arrived at the gate of the City Lord's Mansion.

"Greetings, Chief Manager Zhou, who are these two?"

The captain of the guards with knives stepped forward to salute, and then looked at Jun Wuxie and Little World Tree.

Chief Manager Zhou brought people into the City Lord's Mansion. As the captain of the guards, he naturally had to find out the identity of the visitors, which was his duty.

"Don't be rude, this is the Legendary God of War, the Martial Dao Transcendent God!"

"What?"

The captain of the guards and the guards with knives present were immediately shocked.

"We didn't know it was the Sir. Please forgive us!"

The captain of the guards and the guards hurriedly apologized, feeling uneasy, but their eyes were full of heat and worship.

"It is your duty, what crime do you have?"

Jun Wuxie shook his head, signaling to Head Butler Zhou, and then walked towards the City Lord's Mansion.

Head Butler Zhou immediately followed.

“Greetings, Lord Xie Shi!”

The captain of the guards and the others bowed and shouted loudly from behind.

“Today, I finally got to see this legend!”

The guards were all very excited. These days, they had been constantly hearing the Heavenly Dao's announcements, only knowing his name but not seeing him in person.

This legend was simply too fierce, single-handedly breaking through the Wind Demon Hall, killing the God-level Wind Demon Lord, and annihilating the Transcendent God-level Wind Demon Tree. He was simply divinely martial and heaven-sent!

……

Head Butler Zhou accompanied Jun Wuxie all the way to the City Lord's study.

The City Lord, upon learning that the person who had arrived was the Martial Dao Transcendent God he was looking for, was so shocked that he instantly stood up from behind his desk and hurried forward to greet him.

“Slaughterer of a million demons, legendary War God, Martial Dao Transcendent God, you truly possess extraordinary bearing, a true dragon among men, and a divine and majestic appearance!

Quickly, quickly, please take a seat!”

The City Lord was a middle-aged man who looked less than fifty years old, with a kind face that revealed a hint of majesty.

At this time, he was extremely polite, with an undisguised excitement and exhilaration in his expression.

Jun Wuxie nodded, pulled the Little World Tree down to sit, while Lanlan lay in his arms.

“Head Butler Zhou, you can go back now.

This time, for meeting the Martial Dao Transcendent God, you, Head Butler Zhou, have made a contribution, and this City Lord will surely reward you handsomely!”

“Thank you, City Lord.”

Head Butler Zhou thanked him and looked at Jun Wuxie, giving him a salute, “Legendary War God, this old man will take his leave first, not disturbing your important discussion with the City Lord.”

After Head Butler Zhou finished speaking, he exited the room, closing the door along the way.

“I heard from Head Butler Zhou that the City Lord was looking for me?”

Jun Wuxie looked at the City Lord, who was pouring tea for him.

The City Lord nodded, his expression gradually becoming serious, and sighed, “I was indeed looking for you, sending people to the Wind Demon Hall, but you had already left.

Seeing that the Evil Demon siege was getting closer and closer, I was worried and didn't know what to do.

I didn't expect that Head Butler Zhou would accompany you to the City Lord's Mansion.”

Hearing the City Lord's words, Jun Wuxie pondered slightly and said, “Could it be that the City Lord's worries are related to the Evil Demon siege?”

“That's right.”

The City Lord nodded solemnly and said, “I'm looking for you to ask for your help.

Although I know that this may be a bit difficult for you, and also very dangerous.

However, I really have no other choice.

Qingfeng Ancient Town has a population of hundreds of millions, and the safety of the entire town rests on my shoulders.

As the City Lord, I should protect Qingfeng's peace and tranquility, and keep the enemy outside the city.

Once the city is breached, the consequences would be unimaginable!

Tens of thousands of years ago, the Evil Demons attacked, shattering mountains and rivers, corpses littered the fields, and blood flowed for tens of thousands of miles. It was too tragic.

In that era, I was still young, but I still remember the hellish scene.

The world has been peaceful for tens of thousands of years, and all living beings have lived in an orderly environment, generation after generation multiplying and thriving, with a brilliant civilization.

How can I bear to watch the prosperous age shatter, watching all living beings fall into the abyss…”

The City Lord's words reminded Jun Wuxie of the Dark Invasion and the doomsday torrent.

“City Lord, what exactly is going on? Please tell me first.

If there is anything I can help with, I will definitely not refuse.”

Jun Wuxie did not regard them as tools created by order.

Although they were indeed people derived from order in the beginning.

However, after a long period of time, the creatures in the secret realm, regardless of what race, already had their own consciousness and thoughts.

They are not much different from the flesh-and-blood creatures of the outside world.

The creatures of the outside world were all conceived from the heaven and earth's primordial energy in the beginning, and have multiplied for generations, with the same goal achieved through different means.

“Thank you, with your words, I seem to see hope…”

The City Lord took a deep breath and said, “This Evil Demon siege is not a simple matter.

We received news that there are Immortal-level Evil Demons ready to make a move.”

“Aren't Evil Demons above the Transcendent God level all sealed in specific secret realms?”

“Yes, the fact is indeed so, but the news we received is that the seal of the Fallen Immortal Cliff has loosened, and the Immortal-level Evil Demon inside is very likely to break the seal and come out.

Furthermore, once the Immortal-level Evil Demon of the Fallen Immortal Cliff escapes, it will inevitably go to destroy the seals in other places.

Tens of thousands of years to this day, the seals in various places have weakened one after another.

Once it succeeds, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Therefore, I want to ask you to enter the Fallen Immortal Cliff and kill that Immortal-level Evil Demon.

Once an Immortal-level Evil Demon dies for the first time, even if it is resurrected, its strength will be greatly reduced, making it difficult to break through the seal and descend upon the mortal world again.

If you can help us resolve this crisis, I promise to grant you the honorary title of Qingfeng Guardian God.

I will erect a statue of the god for you in the central square of the city, giving you various powers.

You are a trial taker from the outside world, and the Heavenly Dao allows you to exchange land in our world to establish forces.

At that time, I will give you the best land in the city, and give you a group of fourth-tier king-level or above guards with swords to protect the safety of your territory.

In addition to these, I will also give you special resource rewards.

However, what the reward is, I cannot tell you now due to the constraints of the rules.

I know that people like you, who are divinely martial, don't need to rely on others at all, so you may not want to create a force.

However, what I want to say is that creating a force is only beneficial to you.

You may stay in this world for a very long time.

In the future, our world may become your temporary pure land.”

“Oh? City Lord, why don't you explain it more clearly. Do you know something from the Heavenly Dao?”

Jun Wuxie heard some hidden information from the City Lord's words, coupled with the sale of substitute death talismans by the Strange Goods Trading Company, which made the sense of crisis in his heart even stronger.
