287 News from the demon sect
As he walked, Xia ping ‘an passed by master shuiyue’s carefree building.
Outside the carefree building, it was still as lively as ever. A large number of horse carriages were lined up and a group of rich people were waiting for master shuiyue to unravel their dreams. Compared to the deserted Duke Zhou building, master shuiyue earned a lot of money every day at the carefree building, making people envious.
Not far away from carefree restaurant, there was a mid-tier restaurant called hundred treasures restaurant. It was still very lively at night, and people came and went. The restaurant’s staff was at the door welcoming guests. Xia Pingan thought about it and did not rush back. Instead, he walked directly towards the restaurant.
“Dear guests, how many of you?”
“One!”
“This way please, an honored guest!” The waiter called out with a long voice and welcomed Xia ping ‘an into the restaurant. Then, another waiter came over. The first floor of the restaurant was full, so the waiter directly led Xia ping’ an to the second floor of the restaurant and each of them occupied a small table.
I’ll just order four or five of your best dishes, ” Xia Pingan said directly.
“Alright, please wait a moment, Sir!”
Customers like Xia ping ‘an were the most popular in restaurants. They were not picky, did not lack money, and were generous.
The two guys who were following Xia ping ‘an saw Xia ping’ an enter the restaurant, but they did not follow him in. Instead, they sat down at a teahouse by the roadside and asked for a pot of tea. They waited like wild dogs guarding a rabbit.
Very quickly, Xia Pingan’s dishes and wine were served. Three meals, one soup, and a pot of wine. They were well-matched.
There were many customers in the restaurant. Everyone ate and chatted while Xia Pingan ate and listened.
Many of the diners in the restaurant were bounty hunters and Summoners in Shangjing. He could get a lot of information from the diners.
At three O ‘clock on Xia Pingan’s right, there was an empty table. After a while, four Summoners arrived. Three men and one woman, each in their 30s or 40s. They were dressed in leather armor and had knives and medicine bags on their waists. They looked like they were experienced. The four of them sat down and began to order food and wine. Then, they chatted.
big brother, this Tianyuan bridge night market in Shangjing city is indeed worthy of its reputation. There are so many realm beads, yet they’re selling them openly. Damn it, if I had money, I would have bought that purifying realm bead. I’ve searched for that realm bead in so many places and only found it today. Last time when we were underground, if I had that purifying realm bead, I wouldn’t have been poisoned by the Scorpion poison again,”a bearded man said with an envious and regretful look. damn it, that purifying realm bead. It’s actually 1200 gold coins, and with the spiritual will crystal, it’ll cost at least 3000 gold coins.”
The cleansing realm Pearl that the bearded man had mentioned was actually the realm Pearl that he had used to “offer my humble apology”. After fusing with that realm Pearl, it could remove part of the body’s mid to low-level poisons and some negative states. Xia Pingan had already fused with this realm Pearl before.
3000 gold coins was a small amount to Xia Pingan, but to many low-level Summoners, it was a huge sum of money.
all the treasures and realm pearls in the world will gather in places with more money and people. Naturally, there are many realm pearls in Shangjing city. But don’t worry, second brother. We came to Shangjing city to make a fortune. As long as we carry out a few missions and are lucky enough to get a few realm pearls and sell them, it won’t be difficult for us to get the 3000 gold coins. We’ll be able to collect the money for the purifying realm Pearl sooner or later! The man called big brother patted 2nd brother’s shoulder.
Four Summoners had to complete a few missions in a row. If they were lucky, they might be able to earn 3000 gold coins. This was the survival state of most Summoners.
big brother, I heard that the great Shang Empire is going to recruit many Summoners this time. On our airship to Shangjing today, there were more than 10 Summoners, hehe,”the woman asked,” I don’t know if the task here is dangerous or not. If it’s like the void Mystic realm we encountered in the wolf Fang Valley last time, the demons inside would rush out before the people waiting outside could rush in. It would be too dangerous, hehe.
don’t worry. One of the devil’s Gate in Shangjing is on the sea while the other is underground. The great Shang has a strong defense line. Now that the devil’s Gate is showing signs of opening, we don’t know what’s behind it. We don’t have to be anxious. Even if the devil’s Gate opens, we don’t need to be the first to rush to the front. We just need to advance and retreat with the main group and look for an opportunity to act. Nothing will happen, hehe.
As he listened to the conversation between the summoners, Xia Pingan suddenly remembered that he had almost forgotten about the dark sect.
As the few people at the table chatted, Xia Pingan gradually understood why there were so many Summoners in Shangjing these days.
There were two demonic gates in Shangjing, one in the sea and one underground. In order to deal with the crisis of the opening of the demonic gate, Beitang Wangchuan had issued a conscription order, greatly increasing the mission rewards of Shangjing’s bounty hunters and preparing to form a Summoner mercenary army. Those Summoners who heard the news naturally gathered in Shangjing from all directions, looking for opportunities.
After listening for a while longer, Xia Pingan realized that the summoners at the other tables were also discussing topics such as the rewards offered by the dark sect and the great Shang kingdom.
As long as a one-sun realm Summoner joined the summoner’s hired Army, they would receive a gold coin a day. Their salary would be paid daily, and the rewards for completing the mission would be counted separately. All the spoils of war from the individual and Army would be kept. Just this condition alone was enough to make many Summoners rush to Shangjing.
The summoners in the ruling Army were the best of the best, and the selection was very strict. The basic salary of a first sun realm Summoner in the East Harbor inspector’s office was only 39 gold coins a month, which was only slightly better than the salary of a first sun realm Summoner in the mercenary Corps.
One gold coin was enough for a Summoner to live a good life for a few days, even in Shangjing.
For example, a table full of dishes for 5 – 6 people in this restaurant would cost less than 10 silver coins.
Beitang Wangchuan had been busy with this recently? His Highness the Crown Prince is really busy every day ah …
Xia Pingan understood. After the meal, he paid the waiter three silver coins and a few copper coins and left the restaurant.
As long as one did not use their gold coins to buy realm pearls or a house in Shangjing city, one would realize that they could spend a lot of money. One gold coin could be spent for many days in Shangjing city.
Xia ping ‘an! Xia ping’ an had just come downstairs when a voice suddenly rang out behind him. Then, a hand patted his shoulder.
Xia Pingan turned around and saw an excited qu youqian.
When qu youqian saw Xia Pingan turn his head around, he was stunned and quickly retracted his hand. With an embarrassed look, he said, ” brother, I’m sorry, I’m sorry. I saw your back just now and you look too similar to a friend of mine. I mistook you for the wrong person, Yingluo.
After not seeing him for so many days, qu youqian had grown a small beard. His face was a little darker and he had matured. He was dressed like a bounty hunter. There were two other people who were dressed the same way.
At this moment, Xia ping ‘an still had the face of Sun City, so qu youqian naturally thought that he had recognized the wrong person.
Xia Pingan smiled and did not say anything more. He left the restaurant directly. When he reached the entrance of the restaurant, he heard qu youqian talking to his two companions.
I’m not lying to you. I really do know Xia Pingan. He’s the inspector of the Donggang inspector Bureau. We even signed up for the adjudicator Union together. I didn’t expect him to become an inspector just after not seeing him for a while.
“He just signed up to join the adjudicator Army and he’s already an inspector? it hasn’t even been a year. Stop bragging. They might even have the same name. You’re treating today, so don’t try to renege on your debt. qu youqian’s two companions did not believe him at all.
When the two people in the teahouse across the street saw Xia Pingan coming out of the restaurant, they looked at each other, threw a silver coin, and then followed him out of the restaurant.
As they walked, Xia Pingan turned around and entered an alley. The two men behind him quickly followed.
A few seconds later, two muffled groans were heard in the alley.
Then, Xia Pingan walked out of the alley with two money bags in his hands. He put the money in the money bags into his spatial warehouse and threw the money bags into the garbage dump.
Seeing the patrolling adjudicators on the street, Xia Pingan stepped forward and said a few words to them. He then pointed into the alley. The adjudicators rushed in quickly and saw two unconscious people in the alley. The two people had bruises all over their faces and were tied up by the net technique, unable to move at all.
