The reason why Sanxin Island has been able to develop into its current scale is all because of its attachment to the Lu family, which has led to its current momentum.
Among the three huge islands that make up Sanxin Island, the outermost one is called "Renxin Island". It covers the largest area and has the largest population. Almost all large cities are concentrated on this Renxin Island, but the Lu family The base camp is not located here. But it can be said that all kinds of people who are attached to the Lu family live on Renxin Island. Therefore, Renxin Island can be regarded as the outer island of Sanxin Island. All people and forces on the island must obey the orders of the Lu family.
Located behind Renxin Island is the second island of Sanxin Island - "Lingxin Island", and the Lu family's headquarters is located on this Lingxin Island.
Whether they are children with surnames outside the Lu family or direct children of the Lu family, they all call Lingxin Island their home, and people living on Renxin Island are also proud to be able to enter Lingxin Island. It can be said that only those who live on Lingxin Island are recognized by the Lu family and can be regarded as the backbone of the Lu family.
As for the third island of Sanxin Island, it is the innermost "Lixin Island". To outsiders, the Heart Island here is extremely mysterious. Only direct descendants of the Lu family and elders are qualified to come into contact with matters related to the Heart Island. In addition, the word "mysterious" can only be used to describe the island here.
After Kong Ming and others followed Lu Yongcai's fleet to Sanxin Island, they were naturally only able to stay on Renxin Island for the time being. After all, foreign visitors to Sanxin Island, except those specially invited by the Lu family, were generally They all settled on Renxin Island. However, the teleportation array set up on Sanxin Island is located within the Lu family's base camp. If he wants to borrow this teleportation array, Kong Ming must find a way to enter Lingxin Island.
Originally, Lu Yongcai was a good candidate, but for Kong Ming, he was used to making decisions before taking action. He needed to have a comprehensive understanding of Sanxin Island before deciding on his next move. Then, it would be a good choice to do some repairs on Renxin Island first.
Renxin Island is known to have five major cities, two of which are port cities, one is located in the north of the island, and the other is located in the south of the island. After Kong Ming followed Lu Yongcai's fleet to Renxin Island, he landed at Renji City in the north of the island. Therefore, the place where Kong Ming and others rested was Renji City.
The permanent population of Renji City exceeds 10 million, and coupled with the floating population of all kinds traveling from north to south, the total number of people in the entire city is over 15 million! Although a city of this size is not a majestic city in Tianyuan Continent, it is almost comparable to a county capital in a county. If Sanxin Island controlled by the Lu family is really regarded as a kingdom, then the status of Renji City is indeed no different from that of an ordinary county capital.
As a port city, Renji City's business is of course extremely developed, and the area close to the port is the busiest commercial district in Renji City.
After Kong Ming and others said goodbye to Lu Yongcai, they found an inn to stay near the port. After asking the shopkeeper, they found out that today happened to be the open day of the market in the middle of every ten days. Why not join in the fun? ? So, Kong Ming took Wu Yucheng and Xia Duokou and went straight to Fangshi in Renji City.
According to the official regulations of Renji City, the third day of every ten days is the open day of the market. Businessmen, whether they want to buy or sell, can conduct transactions in the market. Moreover, the open day of the market is also when the official auction of Renji City is held. If you want to take a chance to find some special items, you can try your luck at the auction.
The scale of the market in Renji City can be considered quite large. The entire market is divided into dozens of small areas by nine vertical and horizontal streets, each with its own special trading products, but no matter which area it is, in this open There are always crowds of people and it’s a lively scene throughout the day. However, Kong Ming had already seen big scenes like Fangshan in the imperial capital. No matter how lively the city was, it would not arouse much interest in him.
However, I had a lot of shrimps, and after seeing such a lively scene, I was a little confused in the wind.
You must know that the number of Warcraft in the outer sea areas may exceed that of humans. However, these Warcraft have not formed a civilized society, and naturally there can be no trading gatherings like Fangshi. In addition, although the outer sea area is a natural treasure house, it has always been short of various finished products. After seeing the thousands of trading products that appeared in the market transactions, Xia Duokou's mouth opened wide, but he didn't say a word. It couldn't tell, because it was completely shocked!
Even some products that are very ordinary in the eyes of humans are also incredible treasures in the eyes of Xiaduokou! Only at this moment did Xi Duokou understand what the prosperity of human society is!
In comparison, the attraction of the open sea, which Xi Duokou originally longed to return to, seemed to be getting weaker and weaker. An idea even arose in Xi Duokou's mind: It seemed that just staying in the prosperous human society was not a good idea. What a good choice!
It can be seen from this that the huge charm of business transactions can easily instigate high-level monsters like Xia Duokou to rebel. Even Xi Duokou had a very special thought in his mind, that is, the reason why the outer sea area is so closed, and even refuses to adopt the practices of some civilized societies, is probably to block the knowledge of the monsters in the sea, so as not to These intelligent monsters will have more ideas after gaining more knowledge, which is not conducive to management.
Of course, what will happen to the monsters in the sea and whether there will be any good development in the outer sea have nothing to do with the current shrimp duokou. It just wants to see more of the prosperity of human society. If it can be in the market It would be even better if it finds some good treasures that it likes.
Kong Ming could understand a little bit about Xi Duokou's thoughts, so he asked Wu Yucheng to accompany Xi Duokou for a walk while he went to the auction venue in Fang City alone.
Naturally, it is impossible for these ordinary goods traded in the market to catch the eye of Kong Ming. If you really want to get some windfall, you will naturally have to try your luck at the auction. However, with Kong Ming's current strength and vision, the chance that something of Kong Ming's liking would appear in a mere auction in Renji City is really slim. However, a place like the auction is the most suitable place to learn about Renji City, so Kong Ming naturally wants to see it.
In the very center of the Renji City business district, there is a huge building similar to a colosseum, and this is where the Renji City auction is held.
For some ordinary auction venues in the periphery, you only need to pay an admission fee of one gold coin to go in and have a look. However, in order to participate in the real official auction, you must have an invitation card in hand to be eligible. Although Kong Ming did not have an invitation card, for him, because he had a marshal-level cultivation, he was considered a more important guest in Lu Yongcai's eyes, so he was given a guest card from the Lu family. .
As Lu Yongcai is the elder of the Lu family, the guest card handed out by him is naturally of a high level, enough to give Kong Ming a lot of convenience. For example, this time, Kong Ming just showed his guest card and was qualified to attend the auction and became a guest at the auction.
The official auction of Renji City was held in an extremely luxurious hall, which was already packed with people attending the auction. According to the size of this venue, it is enough to accommodate at least four to five hundred bidders. If such an auction is held every ten days, it can be seen that Renji City's commercial transactions are prosperous.
When Kong Ming took his seat, the auction had already begun. What was being auctioned at this time was the Yuanli crystal core of a fifth-level monster, which aroused the interest of many bidders. However, the bidding items of this quality really did not attract Kong Ming's slightest interest. You must know that Kong Ming has fought his way down the outer sea and killed countless sea monsters. The Yuanli crystal core of this fifth-level monster is nothing in his eyes. Not to mention anything else, after the dignified sea patrol envoy was killed by Kong Ming, didn't his elemental power crystal core of the eighth-level monster be kept in the Ring of Tolia
Of course, just because Kong Ming looked down on the Yuan Power Crystal Core of the fifth-level monster, it didn’t mean that others didn’t care. After some fierce bidding, the Yuan Power Crystal Core of the fifth-order monster was sold for nearly 30,000 gold coins. It can be considered relatively in line with market conditions.
The auction items that appeared next were also rich, including Yuan Weapon spiritual weapons or general-level exercises. Naturally, it caused a rush of looting, but these items were not taken seriously by Kong Ming. He was just a bystander. mentality, feeling the excitement in Renji City.
The person presiding over this auction is a gray-haired old man. He has the cultivation of a high-level Yuan general and is already considered a strong man in Renji City. It is said that he is a disciple of the Lu family with a foreign surname, so he is qualified to host the official auction. 's auction. With this white-haired old man in charge, the auction was not only lively, but also very smooth, and there were no accidents.
Originally, Kong Ming didn't expect to find anything at this auction, but an auction item that appeared next aroused his interest.
I saw the white-haired old man on the auction seat, holding a brocade plate in his hand, and said loudly to the auction venue: "The next auction item is a bit special, because after being collectively appraised by many official appraisers, I still can't tell what this object is. However, this object contains a hint of obscure fire element energy fluctuation. It is considered a rare thing in our sea. I don't know who has the discernment. , can you take this thing away?"
