……
Let’s not talk about gossip for now.
Among the Changning Acropolis, the most lively areas are the East Market and West Market. Dongji is mainly a variety of shops along the street, selling mostly local specialties from the towns and villages under the Acropolis, such as fruits and vegetables, livestock, meat and poultry, firewood, rice, oil and salt, daily necessities, etc. Ping'an Wang's fish stall is located in the Dongji.
Wang Shouzhe and others led their horses and were in it, as if they had entered a huge farmers' market. All kinds of agricultural products and handicrafts were available. In addition to the large shops of wealthy businessmen or aristocratic families, there were also many scattered vendors occupying the market. Everywhere in the corner, some strange things are sold. This is because the Changning government specially set aside stalls for casual cultivators to prevent them from setting up stalls everywhere and making it difficult to manage them.
Rogue cultivators basically don’t have any good stuff, but they usually wander around the world and sell a variety of things, and occasionally some novel items will appear.
"The second-level top ferocious beast with a black back and a violent bear has bile. This is the only one. The price is fifteen thousand gold. No counter-offers are accepted." A scarred man wearing animal skin armor was setting up a stall. It was paved with a thick bear skin, with a pair of dried bear bile hung from branches on top, and a sign was erected, giving the appearance of keeping strangers away.
"This bear skin has a black back and a white belly, and is rich in texture. It is indeed the skin of a black-backed violent bear." Wang Zhong, the family general, whispered to the side, "The inner gallbladder of this bear is golden in color and good in quality. Fifteen gold is not expensive. If you resell it to Danfang, you can earn at least four or five gold."
Wang Shouzhe has been studying ferocious beast atlases since he was a child, and he can distinguish most common ferocious beasts from the materials on ferocious beasts. He just smiled and said, "Let's not be greedy for this advantage." He said without looking back. The ground left.
"Does the owner of the family think that it is a liar? I think the color and appearance of the bear bile are very good, it is unmistakable." Wang Zhong was a little unwilling, but still followed obediently, but his eyes were a bit reluctant, "If the owner of the family can't see it, How about making a little money online..."
"Idiot, the head of the family must have noticed something fishy." Wang Yong glared at him fiercely.
"Haha~ The inner flesh of the bear skin is dry and black. It has obviously been aged for some time. Although the bear bile has been dried in the shade, the color of the bear gallbladder is still fresh. It has only been peeled off for three months at most." Wang Shouzhe smiled. Said, "Wang Zhong, if you want to buy it, I can lend you the money, and you don't have to share the remaining profits with me."
He couldn't help but be amused secretly in his heart. Compared to Earth, the swindlers in our Xuanwu world all seemed so crude. They didn't even make up bizarre stories or anything like that, which was so unprofessional.
"No, no, luckily I came out with the head of the family today." Wang Zhong broke into a cold sweat and said angrily, "Rogue cultivators can't be trusted, there are too many swindlers and deceivers."
"Our Xuanwu family has a family, an industry, and a foundation. As long as we keep this foundation, we will have a steady stream of cultivation resources." Wang Shouzhe said calmly, "Rogue cultivators are all wandering around without roots or foundation. All resources have to be self-reliant, life is naturally difficult, and it is easy to go astray, deceive, steal and other misguided ways. And once they commit a crime, they can just slap their butts and walk away, even if they disguise themselves and change their identities. If Rogue cultivators can easily obtain resources. Why do our ancestors make great contributions to develop the family property for generations, and sacrifice their lives to protect the family's foundation?"
What the head of the family said makes sense.
The two generals, Wang Zhong and Wang Yong, gradually admired Wang Shouzhe more and more. They had already sensed the difference between the new head of the family and the previous head of the family, and they could clearly distinguish the situation of the casual cultivator and the aristocratic family in a few words.
At this point, they looked at the casual cultivators on the roadside who were dressed in different costumes and had various stalls with all kinds of messy items. They became more and more wary. As long as they saw the casual cultivators, they would feel that they were liars.
"How to sell this hive?"
At this moment, Wang Shouzhe suddenly squatted down in front of a stall. The stall owner was a middle-aged man in his forties or fifties, with a somewhat slovenly appearance. At first glance, he looked like he was at the peak of the third level of Qi Refining Realm.
However, this is also the normal state of most casual cultivators. Factors such as poor talent, lack of systematic cultivation techniques, lack of careful guidance from elders, extremely unstable cultivation resources, etc., all make it difficult for most casual cultivators to succeed. .

When the stall owner saw that Wang Shouzhe was dressed luxuriously, and there were two brave generals in full armor behind him, it was obvious that he was not an ordinary person.
I immediately swallowed the rip-off price and showed a flattering smile: "Young Master, this is a Steller Bee hive. I fought hard to get it back after encountering it in the mountains. Look at this hive. There are still a lot of spiritual honey and bee pupae left, and I would like to exchange them for two [Xiao Pei Yuan Dan]."
When he mentioned Xiao Pei Yuan Dan, he made a growl in his throat.
"Are you trying to rob?" Wang Yong's expression changed, and he pressed his hand on the handle of the knife, menacingly, "This hive of yours is no bigger than your head. It can filter out two ounces of spiritual honey, which can fill the sky, and only a few bee pupae. It’s not even enough to stir-fry a plate of vegetables, and it can only be sold for a few dry gold.”
"Oh, sir, don't be angry." The stall owner said with a slightly fearful expression, "My hive is newly picked, and there are many bee pupae still alive in it. If your family has a spiritual insect master, maybe it can be done Cultivate a colony of Steller Bees."
Many casual cultivators wander around here and there, not very strong but still knowledgeable.
"You're overthinking. I haven't heard of any spiritual insect master in the entire Changningwei area. It's just that this thing is rare, so I'll fry it and try it." Wang Shouzhe took out ten gold, "Enough If you want to buy a small Pei Yuan Dan, just add an extra cent and I'll leave."
After hesitating for a long time, the stall owner finally reluctantly made the deal: "Young Master, if this was really worth twenty thousand gold in the prefecture and county, it's a pity that all the bee pupae will die if you get it to the prefecture and county."
If the bee pupae could not survive for a few days, the stall owner would really be willing to rush to the prefectures and counties to sell them. After all, there is a price difference of ten gold. Once most of the bee pupae are dead, the value of the Steller bee hive will plummet.
After the transaction was completed, Wang Shouzhe asked Wang Yong to pack it up and take it away without bothering to talk to the stall owner.
This thing cannot be said to be a waste, but it is not a loss. If you give it to your fifth sister Wang Luojing to play with, a miracle will happen if you don't keep it together. If you really develop a tiger-headed spirit bee, it will add a special industry to the family.
Stellar bees are almost invisible in the wild. They can only be encountered occasionally in inaccessible places. Even if you really try hard to find them for half a year, you may not encounter them.
After that, after wandering around the casual cultivator stalls, I didn’t encounter anything interesting again. As I walked, I unknowingly came to the center of Dongji, one of my own businesses, Changning Dongji Fish Stall.
Ping An Wang’s Fish Stall.
Six large characters span the three shops. Compared with those messy stalls, the fish stalls are much neater and more upscale.
Looking at Wang's fish stall, Wang Shouzhe's memories emerged, and his heart was filled with turmoil.
The courtyard behind these three shops is already the last asset of the Wang family in Changning Acropolis.
Since the two wars fifty years ago, the prestige of the Ping An Wang family has plummeted. In order to support the new Lingtai realm experts as soon as possible to support the family, the Wang family ruthlessly sold off many fixed assets of Changning Acropolis.
What a pity.
The second uncle Wang Dingtian, who had high hopes, died young at the age of only twenty, without even leaving his bloodline.
The sixth grandfather, Wang Xiaohan, reached the ninth level of the Qi Refining Realm when he was in his forties and tried to attack the Lingtai Realm. However, the attack failed after consuming a huge amount of resources. Now, Wang Xiaohan, who is sixty-five years old, still stays at the Lingtai Realm. The ninth level of aura.
Wang Shouzhe's father, Wang Dingyue, was even more miserable. When the resources were insufficient to support the attack on the Lingtai realm, he ventured into the outer realm to seek opportunities, and ended up risking his life.
In fact, if he continues to sell off family assets, such as selling all three major farms, Wang Dingyue will definitely be able to gather the resources to attack the Lingtai realm. But in this case, it is a failure or failure. Once it fails, the Ping An Wang family will be impoverished overnight.
Wang Shouzhe had a vague feeling that if he waited until he reached the peak of the ninth level of Qi Refining Realm. The family as a whole may make a move to sell off all assets to allow him to take one last gamble.
However, if it really goes that far, it will only prove the failure of Wang Shouzhe, the time traveler.
"Fourth brother, why are you here?"
Just when Wang Shouzhe was feeling a little emotional, a surprising voice came.
