Chapter 374 Yellow Wind Grassland (Please subscribe, please collect)
"First-grade high-quality fire-patterned stone, second-grade low-quality fire-patterned stone concentrate, second-grade medium-quality magma raw stone" Looking at the three pieces of fire-attributed spiritual materials in front of her, Sun Shengmei's eyes flashed with a gleam of light.
As for some cultivated fire-attributed spiritual medicines, they are relatively not so eye-catching. These stones that seem plain on the surface actually emit endless light, which directly attracts the eyes of the two foundation-building cultivators.
In fact, this kind of transaction with the indigenous tribes of the Shiwan Mountains is particularly important for the branch of the Sun family in Lingtao Mountain, which has not yet truly established itself.
On the one hand, a large amount of spiritual stones and basic spiritual objects can be earned through this transaction, and the nutrients necessary for the family branch to maintain its existence can be obtained; on the other hand, this transaction can also be used to integrate into the Shiwan Mountains bit by bit.
Compared with the constant battles with the tribes, the only disadvantage of this method is that it takes longer, but the already scarce cultivators in the family will not be weakened.
"These three spiritual materials can be traded, both spiritual pills and spiritual peaches are acceptable," Sun Shengmei made the final decision. She was happy to see the truly valuable treasures come to fruition.
"Fellow Daoist, if you are so straightforward, then we will agree to make the first transaction in ten days. The specific transaction price will be determined based on the quality of the spiritual materials and the type of spiritual pills, how about that?" He Mingyuan also struck while the iron was hot.
When the family branch deep in the Hundred Thousand Mountains was eager to reach the first transaction with the Brown Stone Tribe, the distance between them was extremely far, perhaps on the Yellow Wind Grassland of more than a million miles, a caravan consisting of hundreds of first-level top-grade stupid cow beasts was walking on the endless grassland.
There was a thick layer of khaki dust on the body of each stupid cow beast, and it was obvious that they had been walking for a long time. Even from these stupid cow beasts, one could clearly feel a sense of exhaustion from the heart.
There were one or two cultivators following every three or five boxes pulled by stupid cow beasts, and usually ten boxes required a foundation-building cultivator to guard.
"Fellow Daoist Kan, is this the Yellow Wind Grassland?" He was covered in dust and dirt, with a simple leather coat made of unknown fur covering his body. On the surface, he was covered in dust and dirt, and there was no obvious difference from the silly cow beast. Except for his clean facial features, it was impossible to tell that he was Sun Mingzeng, a genius cultivator with dual spiritual roots from the Sun family.
At the beginning, according to Sun Shengyuan's request, he went to the Yellow Wind Grassland alone to try to establish a stable connection between the family and the tribe here.
It can be imagined that it is beautiful, but the reality is cruel. Since arriving at the Yellow Wind Grassland, he has been rejected one after another. The living environment of the tribal cultivators here is extremely harsh. Only a small amount of specialty products can be traded. They only believe in some fixed trading caravans, and strangers are not allowed to enter the tribe easily.
Even after being besieged by a hundred grassland wolves, Sun Mingzeng was severely injured. He rested in a temporary cave and encountered a storm that only happened once in a hundred years. When the weather returned to normal, the surrounding environment had already changed. Coupled with the loss of the map, he completely lost his direction.
After running away in a panic for half a year, they finally encountered this caravan from Song State. After getting permission, they entered the caravan and began to strengthen their familiarity with the grassland under the name of the caravan.
"This is just the periphery of the Yellow Wind Grassland. The people living here are small tribes with less than a thousand tents. Most of them are extremely poor. Apart from some first-level spiritual sheep and spiritual cattle, there is no wealth. The so-called transaction in front is just child's play. The real transaction requires going to a large tribe with more than ten thousand tents deep in the Yellow Wind Grassland." Fellow Daoist Kan was also generous with some common sense.
Tent is a special unit of measurement belonging to the grassland tribe. Each tent contains a complete family unit, at least six people. Ten thousand tents means that this tribe has at least 60,000 people.
"Mian" "Moo"
Just as Fellow Daoist Kan finished speaking, waves of screams of spiritual sheep and spiritual cattle came one after another. It was the transaction with some small tribes before.
The only purpose of these spirit sheep and spirit cattle is to serve as the sustenance of the whole caravan. The business on the grassland is different from the cultivation world of Song State. The flesh and blood of these spirit sheep and spirit cattle can replenish the consumption of the physical body, which is indispensable.
Daoyou Kan's full name is Kan Qingzi. He was born as a casual cultivator and has the fourth level of foundation building. He is employed by this caravan. He can get a reward of 10,000 spirit stones for each trip to Huangfeng Grassland, which is enough to meet the needs for a long time.
In addition, if you encounter a siege by monsters, you can also get a certain amount of spoils according to the proportion. In short, you can usually get a reward of about 20,000 spirit stones each time.
Of course, for a foundation building cultivator like Sun Mingsheng who joined halfway, there is no reward at all. He is only qualified to share a share of the spoils.
"Daoyou Kan, how far is this place from the core grassland? How long does it take?" Sun Mingzeng asked, obviously very interested in the legendary core area.
"Fellow Daoist Sun, every time you come here, the terrain will change to a certain extent under the storm. Unless you have the spiritual artifact of the fixed star plate in the hands of the leader, you will not know the final destination. Otherwise, I would have sold spiritual objects on my own long ago. Why should I always act as a thug?" Kan Qingzi is typical of Sun Mingsheng's thoughts. After the simple conversation, the two were in a relatively silent state, each thinking about something.
In fact, the Song merchant caravans that came to the Yellow Wind Grassland for trade were mainly composed of the four major sects, and there were also some families with Jindan-stage cultivators.
Any other cultivators who wanted to come here to trade had to promise to hand over one-tenth of the spiritual stones obtained in the transaction as a reward to the leader before they could become a part of it.
In this way, the sect and family where the leader of the monks belonged only needed to invest a small amount of spiritual stones and spiritual objects to earn a large amount of income, which could be said to be a profitable business.
There were also some small and medium-sized families and independent cultivators who did not participate in this type of transaction, but organized spiritual objects to trade separately.
But the only object of their trade was the small tribes located below a thousand tents on the outskirts of the Yellow Wind Grassland, in exchange for some spiritual sheep and cattle, and earning a few spiritual stones.
Even this seemingly small-scale transaction also required sufficient connections. These tribes would not easily trust others to trade, and more often, they would reject people from a thousand miles away, just like what Sun Mingzeng had encountered before.
"If the family wants to make a profit from the transactions on the Yellow Wind Grassland, the only way in the short term is to organize a caravan, hand over the profits, and join in." This is one of the only ways that Sun Mingzeng believes can successfully participate in the transaction in the short term.
"Anyway, since you have joined the caravan, you naturally have to go to the core of the grassland to make it worthwhile."
