Chapter 179 White Stone City
Chapter 179: White Stone City (Thanks for the reward~)
Inside the ruined temple, corpses were scattered all over the place and blood was everywhere.
Chen Pingan looked around and touched the corpse very skillfully.
Among the few people, the guards did not have anything valuable on them. Apart from their weapons, they only had some scattered silver coins.
However, the quality of each of these portable weapons has reached the threshold of a sharp blade and is very valuable.
Without any hesitation, Chen Pingan used his clothes as a package to wrap up all the weapons.
Fang Shicheng had a lot of silver on him, but he didn't have any other valuables. Oh, yes, he did have a sharp dagger.
The richest person is Fang Rui, the eldest son of the Fang family. He has more than 1,000 taels of silver notes, a jade pendant with black patterns, a fan inlaid with gold and jade, and several other small items of considerable value. In addition, there is also a sword that is more decorative than practical.
In terms of quality, it is at the level of a sharp blade!
It's not that Fang Rui can't afford a fine blade, but with his cultivation level, it's completely unnecessary. A sharp blade is enough!
Including the sharp blades seized this time, the total value of all the items exceeded five thousand taels.
After purchasing the Flying Star Sword Technique and the Vajra Palm, Chen Ping'an's wallet became fatter again.
However, this is based on the premise that he can sell these items successfully.
With the power of the Fang family, it is impossible to sell these things in Weishui County City! Later, we can think of other ways to deal with them.
According to him, as the opening of the Long'an Trade Route on the Canglong Mountains was nearing completion, some chambers of commerce had begun to try to facilitate transactions. In the process of trying, it also led to the prosperity of commerce in some places.
With the trading volume of a state, even if it is just an attempt, the trade in some places is not inferior to that in the city. The existence of these places also allows some items that are difficult to trade in the regular market to circulate. For example, some evil ways and magic ways often mix in them. Even some aristocratic family chambers of commerce have appeared in them.
According to Chen Ping'an's understanding, in a sense, it is another kind of black market. It's just that compared with the usual black market, the transaction volume and specifications in those places are larger.
"I can go and have a look if I have the chance! I wonder if there are any treasures for sale in these places?"
Chen Pingan thought secretly.
His current martial arts realm has reached the third level of internal energy, and Tianlin has completed the top. According to the current progress of practice, in another five or six days, he will be able to try to break into the realm of Xuanguang!
With the status of Xuanguan Realm, although fine-grade sharp blades can be used, they are not good enough as the main weapon!
Looking at the entire Weishui County City, if a force can give birth to a person in the Xuanguan Realm, it can be called a quasi-first-class force.
Although it cannot be said that everyone can possess a treasure, as long as one immerses oneself in the Xuanguang realm for a period of time, it is not difficult to possess a treasure.
Except for a few who are unlucky and have a particularly bad life, most of the people in the Xuanguan realm can own a treasure.
but
Thinking of this, Chen Pingan couldn't help laughing.
Although most of the Xuanguang Realm possess treasures, most of them are inferior treasures. If you really look into it, they are only slightly better than fine blades. In terms of quality, they are not much better than fine blades, but they can fully carry the magic of Xuanguang, which is why they are called treasures.
Inferior treasure, also known as quasi-treasure!
Above the quasi-treasure weapons are the real treasure weapons, also called authentic treasure weapons.
What Chen Pingan was thinking about was not the so-called inferior treasures or quasi-treasures, but the real authentic treasures.
If it was an inferior treasure, with his current progress in martial arts, he would not be able to use it in the near future.
After dealing with the aftermath in the ruined temple, Chen Pingan rode his horse and galloped towards the inn.
Tonight, I had a great harvest!
"Brother, good morning."
When Chen Erya woke up early in the morning, she saw Chen Pingan, who looked energetic.
"Good morning, daughter." "Brother!"
The little girl put her hands on her hips and looked at Chen Pingan with an unhappy face.
"Hahaha, good morning, Erya."
The little girl showed a satisfied look on her face.
"Good morning, sir."
"Good morning, Peony."
After having breakfast at the inn, Chen Pingan set off again in his carriage.
After five days, Chen Pingan and his party finally arrived at Baishi City.
Although Baishi City is a small city, that is only compared to Weishui County City. In fact, for the surrounding towns and villages, Baishi City can be regarded as a behemoth.
The city wall is about 50 to 60 feet high, and there are guards at the gate, making the defense very strict.
Like Weishui County City, Baishi City can be roughly divided into four urban areas: east, south, west and north. In addition, there is a central urban area at the central junction of the four urban areas.
At the gate of Baishi City, the number of people coming in and out was not as exaggerated as that of Weishui County City, but there was also a long queue outside. Chen Pingan did not show his privilege and followed the queue to enter the city.
Before Chen Pingan set off, his letter of appointment was also sent to Baishi Town Fusi. Therefore, Baishi Town Fusi had already known the news that the new deputy commander was about to take office.
Counting the time, it’s only these few days.
Just as Chen Ping'an was about to enter Baishi City, on the other side, news of the death of Fang Rui, the eldest son of the Fang family, began to spread in Weishui County.
"Fang Rui is dead?"
In the Nancheng Town Pacification Office, Mu Wanjun listened to her subordinates' reports with a look of surprise.
"Yes, sir. I heard that it wasn't just Fang Rui who died, but also a steward and guard of the Fang family."
Mu Wanjun felt a little surprised.
As the legitimate son of the Fang family, Fang Rui is not an insignificant character. Although his status is not as high as those successors who are being trained by the Fang family, his status in the Fang family is not low because of his father Fang Qixian!
Fang Qixian, the powerful patriarch of the Fang family and a martial arts master in the Xuanguan realm!
Fang Rui is Fang Qixian's youngest son, and he was born in his old age, so he has always been spoiled.
It is hard to imagine how Fang Qixian would react to Fang Rui’s death.
"Have you found out who did it?!"
"Sir, this is still unclear. There is no specific information coming out from the Fang family. However, the bodies of Fang Rui and his men have been completely burned to skeletons by the fire. It will be very difficult to investigate!"
"Ah."
Mu Wanjun nodded, tapping her fingers lightly on the table. After a while, she asked casually, "Oh, by the way, when did Fang Rui die?"
"I don't know the exact time. But he disappeared five days ago! He left Weishui County City that day, and there was no news of him since then, until his skeleton was found."
"Five days ago."
Mu Wanjun closed her eyes slightly and muttered to herself.
"Is it a coincidence?"
