The palace city is already full of treasures and outstanding people, but because of the upcoming birthday of the palace lord, people from three rivers and goods from all over the world have gathered together, and the excitement has become even more lively.
Fang Yuan did not go directly to exchange for spiritual objects and seeds in a hurry, but planned to find an inn to stay.
There is a strict curfew in Youshan City. If the homeless people who have not returned home at midnight have a household registration or have a good place to stay, if not, they will be thrown into a dungeon and demoted to slaves!
There was indeed some truth to his worries.
Due to the influx of people from the outside world into Youshan Fucheng, all the major inns were full and even the rents had doubled.
After going to several inns in a row and finding that only Datongpu was crowded, Fang Yuan became a little impatient, so he directly offered gold and silver, knocked over a household, and rented their house for a month.
The head of the household holding the gold ingot happily took his family back to the countryside to live temporarily, and gave all the houses to Fang Yuan. Before leaving, he greeted the Baojia Street Mayor and explained the situation.
"Huh..."
Fang Yuan moved into this courtyard carelessly, and after closing the door, he felt a little depressed.
"I'm afraid Youshan Prefecture is going to make a fortune this time. I don't know if it's the end of its prosperity or the beginning of a prosperous future..."
After a few days of secretly digging around, Fang Yuan learned a lot more about the situation in Youshan City.
"The position of Lord of Youshan Palace is half-public and half-private. It can be said that it is a conferment granted by the imperial court, but if one's own strength is insufficient, he will not be able to sit firmly! The previous position of Lord of the Palace was almost all determined by self-determination, and Xia Guo approved it again. There’s never been a time to say no…”
As soon as he thought about this, Fang Yuan suddenly felt sad for the royal family of Xia Kingdom.
Compared with the constitutional monarchy of another world, this kind of power restriction only has a few more direct jurisdictions.
Of course, what the Xia royal family is like has nothing to do with who he is now.
At this time, Fang Yuan was more concerned about the turmoil in Youshan Mansion. After all, the position of the head of the palace was simply the earthly emperor of millions of people in the six counties.
If it weren't for his incompetence in cultivation, he might have put some thought into it.
"The contemporary master of Youshan Mansion, named Liu Yan, is a spiritual warrior. He possesses the spiritual skills activated by the Blazing Sun Zhengfa and is indestructible. His strength is the best in Youshan Mansion..."
It is said that there are dragons and crouching tigers in the entire Youshan Mansion, and naturally there is more than one spiritual master there.
At least, Fang Yuan found three possible spiritual warrior inheritance lines from the clues in Qinghe County and Lieyang County.
"The Blood Demon, as well as the spiritual master and alchemist who helped Shi Yutong... No, the spiritual master and alchemist may be the same person. Otherwise, Shi Yutong's friendship would be too broad."
He pondered for a moment, then his expression suddenly changed: "This time there is a big change in Youshan Mansion, I'm afraid Shi Yutong will have to come!"
Unlike him, who has no worries, Shi Yutong is the ruler of a county. Any changes in Youshan Mansion can easily be affected, let alone such a big change
After thinking a lot more, Fang Yuan got up and came to Youshan Tower.
There was a lot of people nearby, and they all had the aura of keeping strangers away.
Like the Sihai Chamber of Commerce in Qinghe County, this place is the largest chamber of commerce in the local area, and it has the support of landlords.
"There are only a few places in Youshan Mansion for the general trading of spiritual objects, and they are far less convenient than here... On the other hand, the 'Juyuan Building' is good at cooking spiritual objects. You can try it out next time!"
With this thought, Fang Yuan stepped into Youshan Tower.
"Welcome distinguished guest!"
Inside the door, two rows of maids and servants bowed to say hello, not showing any contempt for Fang Yuan because of his age or clothing.
A maid automatically came out of the queue: "What kind of business do you want to do here?"
"Buy spiritual seeds!"
Fang Yuan told the truth.
"The purchase of spiritual seeds is always done in the Lingliang Pavilion. Guests, please follow me!"
The maid smiled brightly and led the way to a counter.
Inside, many laborers and warriors were hurriedly singing and collecting rice, almost like a big grain station.
Fang Yuan glanced casually and saw labels such as red jade spiritual rice and emerald grass on the bamboo chips, which were all sold by Lun Sheng.
"This customer wants to buy spiritual seeds? This is the right time!"
The round shopkeeper's face was red, he rubbed his hands and said with a smile: "This cabinet has just received a batch of spiritual seeds. Although I don't dare to boast, it is definitely the most complete in Youshan Mansion. There are also many kinds of grains, you can choose whatever you want... Of course. "Growing spiritual rice is troublesome. If customers want to buy spiritual rice in large quantities, I also have the authority here..."
As he said this, the maid brought two cups of tea.
Fang Yuan took a sip lightly, and a sweet taste spread on his tongue buds. He immediately knew that although this was not a spiritual leaf, it still had some spiritual energy, which was rare, and the anticipation in his heart couldn't help but increase a bit: "Let's take a look at all the spiritual seeds!"
"good!"
The shopkeeper laughed, without the slightest thought of looking down on others. He clapped his hands slightly, and a waiter came forward with a rosewood tray containing jade bottles.
"Come, sir, please take a look. This is the red jade spiritual seed, which is the most widely planted in this county... There is also black crystal rice. It is said in the north that if you eat it for a long time, you can resist the cold. This is the green line rice of the swamp. If you eat it, you can resist poison... There are also bone-tempering flowers and three-star fruits..."
Following the shopkeeper's introduction, Fang Yuan showed a little dissatisfaction on his face: "Why are they all just cheap stuff? Isn't there something better?"
Those black crystal rices were at the same level as the red jade spiritual rice at best. They didn't have much appeal to him at this time. At most, they were just a taste of something new.
"High-level spiritual species?"
The shopkeeper smiled bitterly: "If it is spiritual food, each sect and each sect has restrictions. Not a single seed is allowed to escape. The control is strict. Except for these mainland goods, there is really no more..."
"Yes!"
Fang Yuan patted his head and suddenly felt that he had taken it for granted.
Like food spiritual seeds, just one grain can be cultivated continuously, thus giving birth to a huge force, which can be called a strategic material reserve.
After all, no warrior can eat spiritual flowers, spiritual grass, or spiritual pills every day, but he can eat spiritual rice every day. The importance of this is naturally indescribable.
If it's just a trash like Red Jade Spirit Rice that's already on the streets, but it's truly a superior variety that has been carefully cultivated by generations or dozens of generations, it's the foundation for a life and a life. How many people are willing to sell it
"It's just my imagination!"
Fang Yuan smiled in surprise, but his heart tightened, knowing that the value of the Flame Jade Crystal Rice he brought out this time was probably far higher than previously imagined!
However, although the high-level spiritual rice was hopeless, Fang Yuan was quite interested in the other spiritual plants.
"I'm quite interested in this sickle grass, sawtooth flower, and the black crystal and green thread rice seeds from before. Let's make a bid together!"
Fang Yuan also knew that among these shops, there would be no truly top-quality products, but the varieties were quite complete, so he immediately started purchasing.
Sickle grass and sawtooth grass are spiritual flowers and spiritual grass, but they have no function at all. Instead, the stems and leaves are like iron, and the edges are like knives. They are good at hurting people. Fang Yuan bought them for the safety of the spiritual land.
As for some other ordinary spiritual species, they are doing it casually to enrich the reserves of spiritual species, and then see if they can mutate.
"Well, spiritual flower and spiritual grass seeds, total..."
Fang Yuan ordered all the spiritual seeds that he had never seen before. The value was naturally very high, and an astronomical figure was quoted from the shopkeeper's mouth.
Anyway, the gold and silver in his pocket is definitely not enough.
"The gold and silver I carry is not enough..."
Fang Yuan spoke slowly, and seeing that the shopkeeper's expression remained unchanged, he took out a bamboo fruit and pushed it over: "How about bartering?"
"This is?"
The shopkeeper looked at the green bamboo fruit, and his calm expression suddenly changed: "Spirit fruit?"
Although he sells spiritual seeds, the price of the real finished spiritual plants is naturally the same as the price of the seeds.
He immediately became more solemn, took out a pair of gold-framed crystal lenses and placed them on his nose, looking at them carefully: "Hiss... this is... the legendary Lianshi Bamboo Fruit?"
"Oh? The shopkeeper has great eyesight!"
Fang Yuan lightly praised him and took a sip of tea.
This is where he is cunning. Most other spiritual fruits contain seeds inside, but this spiritual bamboo is grown by forking bamboo roots and growing spiritual shoots. It has nothing to do with the bamboo fruit, and there is no risk of the seeds leaking out.
If the shopkeeper knew that it was his previous remarks that made Fang Yuan make such a decision, he would be so regretful that he would beat his chest.
"Yes, the bamboo fruit is indeed the food of the phoenix. It can replenish qi and vitality, and has incredible magical effects on spiritual birds!"
After a long time, the shopkeeper put down the chip and looked at Fang Yuan with an eager expression: "Three bamboo fruits are more than enough to exchange for these spiritual seeds. If the distinguished customers still have them, our shop is willing to pay a high price to buy them!"
He was also quite smart and did not directly ask about bamboo shoots and roots. He knew that this was a taboo for guests and would probably fall out if he asked.
"I only got these by chance, there's not much left!"
Fang Yuan told lies seriously, took out another bamboo fruit, and made up the price difference between gold and silver: "Remember to send the planting essence too!"
"This is natural!"
The shopkeeper nodded. Although he was still very sorry, he put away the two bamboo fruits with great care. He ordered someone to bring in the spiritual seeds and asked Fang Yuan to check them one by one. There were also a few pieces of tissue paper next to them, which were densely packed. Recording some planting precautions was enough to save him a lot of trouble.
This attitude immediately made Fang Yuan like it. He pondered for a moment and asked, "The shopkeeper has a very good eye. I wonder if they can provide appraisals here?"
"This is natural, this is natural!"
The shopkeeper nodded repeatedly.
Not to mention that Youshan Tower already has this kind of service, even if it doesn't, he still has to appraise the bamboo fruits for the guests for free and build relationships for the sake of the bamboo fruits that the other party may have.
"Huh? Is the value of bamboo fruit so great?"
When Fang Yuan saw this scene, his heart trembled.
This bamboo fruit cannot be grown and cannot be used to make a profit, so the only possibility is to use it for consumption.
Its effect of quickly restoring energy and spirit is very popular even among spiritual practitioners.
"The backstage of Youshan Tower is the Lord of Youshan Palace. It seems like... my guess is probably going to come true..."
