C90 The Star Seizer Pavilion
The stars controlled by immortals and devils attracted tens of thousands of self-cultivators to pursue, to look forward, to explore, they only saw the vastness of the starry sky, but they didn't see the endless war and reincarnation in the starry sky.
Countless people who sought the Heavenly Dao, pursued the unity of heaven and earth, lost their bodies and souls in the vast starry sky, and disappeared at the end of the world. There was no other reason. It was because they did not understand that there was an even bigger starry sky in the sky above them. They would never be able to surpass the stars of heaven and earth, as if they could not shake off the fate they were born with.
After listening to Lu Changkong's emotional sigh, Yiran said in a low voice, "Lu, I'm sorry. I don't understand what you're saying. "
Lu Changkong smiled and said, "Actually, I don't understand either. Those words were said by my master. He would always say some strange things. I don't really understand. I just suddenly remembered what he said. "
Yiran smiled. "Lu, look at that star. It's so beautiful!"
"You shouldn't have let him see the stars. You should have let him see the account book!" The rough voice broke the silence of the starry sky. "Take a look yourself. How many crystals did we spend this month?"
"Only a few thousand!"
" A few thousand? That's all? " You treat money like dirt. I feel pain just by looking at the account book. I told you to go to the Juxian Pier. You said it was not suitable to station there, and you were told to go to the Blood God Peak or the Peach Blossom Garden. You were afraid of disturbing them. He just drifted aimlessly. Do you know how many crystals these four broken ships cost a day?"
He hurriedly grabbed the tea bowl to moisten his throat and said," Also, the eight hundred plus people under your command. . . Only the five of us, not even you can! How can we not use money to eat, drink, and scatter? We even raised the price of the ingredients to the sky, do you know how many crystals we need to eat for a meal? Even if you have a mountain of gold in your pocket, it will still be eaten up. "
Bailian Sheng and Hsiao Yuhan also walked past when they heard Bailian Sheng shouting at the top of the table. Hsiao Yuhan said: "Changkong! We can't just float around like this. We need to find a place to stay as soon as possible. "
Lu Changkong said, "It's not that I haven't thought about this before, but along the way, all the planets with cultivators are guarding against us as if they are thieves. They won't allow us to approach them at all. It's easier said than done to find a place to settle down! "
" F * ck! If it wasn't for the rules of Imperial Court, I would have long snatched an f * cking planet over. I control one star and want to be the Emperor. I want to be a Divine Immortal and a Divine Immortal. " He urged his life and said: "Being with Changkong this brat, my courage is getting smaller and smaller. "
"Take over a planet?" Bailian Sheng clapped his hands and said, "Wonderful! Why didn't I think of that?"
"Big Brother, are you alright?" He had been slapping the table and threatening to rob him earlier. His eyes were wide open. "Are you crazy? Stealing stars is against the law! We only have a few people, how can we beat the emperor's tutor? "
" F * ck you! " Bailian Sheng scolded with a smile, "Snatch, of course not. But you can buy it!"
"You can also buy stars?"
This time, it was Lu Changkong's turn to be stunned. "Big brother, I don't understand what you mean. What buying stars? What crime is there to violate?"
Bailian Sheng exchanged a glance with the Fate Warrant and said in unison: "You don't know?"
Seeing the confused look on Lu Changkong's face, Bailian Sheng turned around and asked again. "Old Xiao, you don't understand either?"
Hsiao Yuhan blushed and said, "I have never left Great Ming in my life, and I have never seen much of the world. "
"I think Changkong is like a country bumpkin who doesn't know anything. " He said proudly: "Today, I will teach you cheetahs a lesson. "
"Do you know the world? The so-called world is two completely different concepts in the understanding of mortals and self-cultivators. " He shook his head: "The world that mortals speak of, It's just a piece of sky that's as big as a melon's head, and a piece of land that's beneath his feet. The world that cultivators speak of. . . It was the five great star regions of cultivation realm, and there were three thousand famous cultivation planets in these five star regions. There were countless nameless planets, and they were all under the jurisdiction of the Imperial Court. We are in the Black Tortoise Galaxy in the north. Do you know now? "
Seeing Lu Changkong's head full of dew, Bailian Sheng added," Thousands of years ago. Cultivators were like loose sand, constantly fighting. This caused the destruction of the elites of both the righteous and evil path, and almost destroyed the foundation of cultivators. Just like all the wars, They would eventually end up in another bigger war. The Sacred Martial King who appeared out of nowhere led his army to fight in the Star Field for three hundred years. He had finally unified the cultivation realm and established the Imperial Court. He divided the territories and gave the various stars in the world to the officials who had contributed to the war. Only five Star Domains have been formed. "
Lu Changkong smiled bitterly and said, "It turns out that wherever I go, there will be the Imperial Court. I still have to be controlled by the Imperial Court. "
"Not exactly!" Bailian Sheng smiled and said, "Although the Imperial Court is in charge of the world's space zones, it gives cultivators great freedom. For example, The conflicts between sects, the grudges between cultivators. . . They were in charge of the management to eliminate large-scale wars and maintain the normal order of cultivation realm. Therefore, As long as you don't want to overthrow the Imperial Court or seize the planet by force, No one will care about what you do. "
Hsiao Yuhan said disdainfully," What kind of people are you? Aren't you a person who is blinded by greed? Setting up the Imperial Court to be the Emperor is no different from being a mortal. "
He urged his life and shook his head, saying: "Do you not know that when one enters the world and comes into being, he will be at the highest realm of the Daoism hermit? In the past few hundred years, there had been the most number of emperors and generals in the Imperial Court who had ascended. According to them, comprehending the Heavenly Dao in the mortal world is the best shortcut. "
Hsiao Yuhan said impatiently," Don't talk about those major principles. Tell me about buying stars. "
Bailian Sheng said, "When the Sacred Martial King divided the Star Fields, he was the Heavenly King who was in charge of the four Star Fields. The second time, the third time. . . Moreover, they allowed powerful sects to buy planets with crystals as their headquarters. After the records of Imperial Court, the planets they bought became inviolable. Unless the Imperial Court's Sovereign Master had issued an order to stop the rebellion. Otherwise, no one would dare to attack a planet with an owner. Once someone does that, they will be hunted down by the Sovereign Master for eternity. "
" Let me give you an example! You have been to Sword Servant Manor before, so you belong to the legal Star Lord. That's why Hai Yun dared to openly offend the Cangwu Sect in the Sword Servant Manor. For example, Yin Shiyi, Xue Lihhun's territory. This was a place that had no owner. Not only did they have to prevent others from taking it by force, but they also had to prevent others from taking it. He also had to put in a lot of effort to curry favor with the Imperial Court's patrolling inspector. If they were happy, they would turn a blind eye and let them continue to mingle there. If they were unhappy, Then they'll have to pack up and leave. "
Lu Changkong said, "Then will they be punished by the Imperial Court when they attack the Great Ming?"
"I don't think so. " Bailian Sheng said, "The nominal owner of the Great Ming is the Zhu Family Imperial Court. They won't file a complaint. Even if the four big sects fish escape the net and report it to the Imperial Court, it will still be considered a competition between sects. Furthermore, The Great Ming was extremely remote, and it could be considered an alien planet. Not to mention that the people there couldn't find the Imperial Court, Even if they did find it, the Imperial Court might not be willing to take care of such trivial matters. "
"That's good!" Lu Changkong heaved a sigh of relief and said, "Where should we go to buy stars?"
Bailian Sheng said. "Not far! From our current position to the Xuanwu Chamber of Commerce. . . About seven more days. "
The Xuanwu Chamber of Commerce that Bailian Sheng mentioned was a planet where merchants gathered. As long as you have the ability, you can buy the money in anyone's pocket. On the contrary, as long as you had the money, you could buy anything.
Lu Changkong had just arrived in Xuanwu Chamber of Commerce, but he was deeply shocked by the prosperity of this place. He repeatedly lamented that he was a country leopard who had never seen the world. The few of them were not in a hurry to buy stars. They walked all the way to the center of the city.
As they walked past the center of the street, Lu Changkong's eyes were attracted by a divinatory stall. "There are fortune-tellers here? Cultivators can also fortune-tellers?"
Kuan Qixia smiled and said, "The greatest charm of life is that I don't know what will happen tomorrow. However, Most people wanted to know the fate of their lives in an instant. Even cultivators could not avoid it. It was precisely because of this that he shook the lot. The livelihood of a fortune teller. To a certain extent, the number of fortune tellers in a city, the number of fortune tellers, the number of fortune tellers, the number of fortune tellers, the number of fortune tellers. . . It was also the basis of determining whether a city was prosperous or not. For example, there are many fortune tellers living in Sword Servant Manor. "
When Lu Changkong heard his words, he suddenly had a sudden impulse and asked," Sir, are you interested in a divination? "
Kuan Qixia waved his hand. "I'm not interested. If my lord is interested, he might as well teach me a lesson. "
Lu Changkong smiled and walked to a divination stand. He cupped his hands and said, "Sir, can you take a lesson for me?"
The fortune teller did not even raise his head and said, "One hundred high-grade crystals. "
"One hundred high-grade crystals?" The fortune teller almost jumped up from his seat. "One hundred crystals with just a few words. That mouth of yours is even more expensive than a brothel sister's body. "
The fortune teller looked at him unhappily and said: "I didn't ask you to do the math. "
"You. . . "
Lu Changkong stopped him from jumping up and beating him up. He urged, "As long as the calculation is accurate, a hundred crystals is nothing. Sir, please!"
"If the calculation is not accurate, the fortune will be returned ten times. " The fortune teller took out the turtle shell and shook the copper coin. After that, he stared at the copper coin and could no longer speak.
Lu Changkong was about to ask when he heard someone beside him say, "Mr Lu also believes in divination?"
Lu Changkong turned around and saw that it was the manor lord of Sword Servant Manor, Hai Yun, and the chief steward, Gong Cangfeng. He smiled embarrassedly and said, "It was just a sudden impulse. "
Hai Yun smiled and said, "Mr Lu doesn't need to worry about it. There are many experts who came to the Xuanwu Chamber of Commerce to ask for an autograph. It's not a matter of losing face. Especially this Mr. Guo who has the most accurate prediction. He is known as Tian Xiaosheng. This little girl is also here to ask for a sign. "
Mr. Guo suddenly heaved a long sigh and said," Thank you, Miss. I'm disappointed. I won't do the divination anymore. "
Everyone was stunned, but they heard Mr. Guo say, "My master once told me that. . . When my reputation is at its peak, a person I can't predict his fate will appear. I was young and frivolous at that time. I once boasted that as long as there is something in this world that I cannot predict. . . I flipped the divinatory trigram stand, smashed the turtle shell. . . If he doesn't do divinations for others. . . "
"I didn't think that there really was a fate in this world that I couldn't predict. You think I'm self-proclaimed as Master Tianxiao?!" Mr. Guo looked up at the sky and heaved a long sigh. He pointed at Lu Changkong and said," That's him! Only God knows his life! "
Before Lu Changkong could say anything, he took out a thousand crystals and stuffed them into Lu Changkong's hands. He raised his hand and flipped the divinatory trigram stand. He stepped on the turtle shell and staggered away without looking back.
"Sir. . . Sir. . . "
Hai Yun stopped Lu Changkong and said, "Stop shouting. Mr. Guo is very proud of himself. This time, he has lost face. I am afraid he will not be able to read people's fortunes anymore. " She then changed the topic and said, "Didn't Mr Lu become an official in Great Ming? Why did he suddenly come to Xuanwu Chamber of Commerce?"
Lu Changkong joked, "I have already returned to my hometown! However, I am too old to find a home. I plan to buy a planet to live on. "
"Mr Lu really knows how to joke. " Hai Yun smiled and said, "This little girl is in the Xuanwu Chamber of Commerce. There are also a few acquaintances. Do you want me to introduce you to the pavilion master of the Zhai Xing Pavilion, Mr. Sikong?"
"I can't ask for more!"
Hai Yun made a gesture with her hands and said, "Mr Lu, please follow me!"
Hai Yun led the group to the center of Xuanwu Chamber of Commerce and pointed to the empty third floor corridor in the east. "This is the Zhai Xing Tower!"
"Hehe!" She urged him to laugh. "Seeing that other people are so busy that their feet are not touching the ground, even the manager of the Star Picking Tower is so idle that he is swatting flies. Business won't be good. Later, he will definitely kneel down and beg us to buy stars. "
However, reality was not as suicidal as it seemed. Although the Zhai Xing Pavilion could not be found, Mr. Sikong's attitude was shockingly big. After seeing Lu Changkong, he only said two words: "Sit, tea!"
After Lu Changkong explained the purpose of his visit, Mr. Si Kong's reply was even more direct: "Buying stars only accept crystals, and the rest of the items are not accepted. Starting price of 200 million upper grade crystals from a low grade planet. The starting price for middle-grade planets is 600 million, and the starting price for high-grade planets is 1 billion. If you can afford it, you can buy planets with mortals living on them. However, the cultivators who buy those planets must also be extremely powerful. "
Lu Changkong frowned and said, "Can I take a look at the planet first?"
"A reasonable request!" Mr. Sikong waved his hand and someone took out a model of the planet. On the surface of the ocean, the land was extremely well-proportioned, and there were minerals everywhere. In particular, the spiritual energy was extremely abundant, which was suitable for cultivators to live on.
After Lu Changkong saw it, he was very satisfied and asked, "What's the price of this low grade planet?"
"What a joke!" Mr. Sikong said, "This can also be called a low grade planet. This is the highest grade of the high grade planets. It's not an exaggeration to say that it's worth four billion crystals. "
Lu Changkong awkwardly rubbed his hands together. "Can you show me a low-rank planet?"
The difference between the lower grade planet and the upper grade planet was like heaven and earth. The wasteland occupied more than 80% of the planet, and the air was extremely thin. At first glance, it looked like a bald radish, with only a small handful of green leaves on its butt.
Mr. Sikong ignored it and said, "This one is worth 300 million!"
"300 million!" He forcefully suppressed the urge to kill and gritted his teeth as he said, "There is only one thing that is hairless, and you want to sell it for 300 million? Do you want to fly up and bite people?"
Mr. Sikong said unhappily, "The environment of this star is a bit harsh, but the minerals are extremely rich. If it wasn't for the thin air and not suitable for long-term residence, would I sell it for 300 million?"
"This. . . " Lu Changkong thought for a moment and said, "Is there any cheaper? I don't need any mineral resources, as long as I can live with people. "
Hai Yun said, "If Mr Lu is not able to afford it, I can lend you the crystals. "
"No need, no need!" Lu Changkong shook his hand and said, "I do not want to live with debts. "
Mr. Sikong smacked his lips and said, "Go and get that Ganges Sand!" When the waiter heard him, his face immediately twitched like a bitter melon. He reluctantly walked over.
Lu Changkong waited for two meals before he saw the waiter walk back with a dusty box. When he opened the box, he saw a model the size of a washbasin.
No matter how he looked at it, Lu Changkong felt that it was like an infinitely magnified sand particle. He couldn't tell that it was a planet at all.
Mr. Sikong pointed at the Ganges Sand and gave Lu Changkong a contemptuous look. "Did you see that? This is the Ganges Sand. The place is large enough, and there is air and water. It can accommodate people. Moreover, the price is cheap. If you like it, you can take it away for three million crystals. "
