The organization of the Sija was very different from that of the Houtu dynasty. In the Houtu Dynasty, the city lords almost always occupied most of the property of a city, and single-handedly covered the sky. And the city lords of the Sija people were simple landlords.

These lands would be idle and worthless if they were not rented by the merchants of the Sijas. The lord of the castle had to recruit a famous merchant like the Broken Treasure House to move in in order to receive rent.

The lord of the city not only collects rent, but also organizes the locals to provide various convenient services to these businesses, such as renting housing, security and food supply.

If the firm deems this place unfit for business and moves away, all sources of wealth in this place will be completely destroyed. Moreover, the Sija industry does not exist, so this so-called neutral city is naturally no longer a neutral city.

Therefore, although Lu Baiyu is the lord of the city, he is only a noble patron here in the Broken Treasure House, but no matter how noble he is, he does not dare to forcibly take things away under the opposition of the merchants.

It's just that it's inevitable that he's not in a good mood. Especially Lu Hao, who was happily playing with the Dan seed in his hand just now, but now his face was already filled with anger.

"Shopkeeper Sai, Lu is handing over the money with one hand and delivering the goods with the other, can't you play with me?" Lu Baiyu asked with an ugly face. He usually needs to go to great lengths to serve these merchants, but this time, on the contrary, he is the patron of the merchants, and it is rare to be arrogant, but he did not expect to suffer such a deflated.

The shopkeeper's face was not good-looking, and he had a miscalculated look. In fact, his consideration for bidding was to far exceed the limit that Lu Baiyu could bear, so he asked for a high price of five thousand taels of blood spirit stones.

He is just the shopkeeper, not the owner of the house. Most of the proprietors of the Sija firms are a consortium, and the shopkeeper of a firm like him has the right to kill and kill at any time.

At the end of April every year, the entire business needs to settle accounts. If this year's income is not up to the standard, he can go back to Xijia's hometown to drink the northwest wind. It was already the beginning of February, but his shortfall this year was still more than 3,000 taels of blood spirit stones, and it could be said that the situation was as dangerous as an egg.

This rare Yin and Yang Twin Crystal Pill Seed, which has expired, is his only life-saving straw. This is completely the customer's expired and uncollected property, which is regarded as giving up property, and has no cost. If he can sell it, it can be counted as a profit.

But with his decades of experience in appreciating treasures, the value of this crystal seed is two thousand taels of blood spirit stones at the top of the sky, and there is still a gap of more than a thousand taels that cannot be filled.

He took a fancy to Lu Baiyu, a rich patron, at a glance. In particular, Lu Hao's foundation building is gradually becoming a success, and it is obvious that in half a year at the latest, he will inevitably reach the ninefold peak of foundation building. His father didn't dare to be interested in this Dan seed, it was impossible.

So he directly gave an exaggerated price of five thousand taels of blood spirit stones. In this way, Lu Baiyu will inevitably leave angrily. Two months later, he offered another price of 4,500, or even 3,500 taels on the bottom line, and with his speculation on people's hearts, Lu Baiyu would accept it nine out of nine.

But although he is an experienced person, he is not a monk of Xuanmen, especially since he has no heirs, and he underestimates the heart of a father. I didn't expect Lu Baiyu to make a move without hesitation for the sake of his precious son, five thousand taels of blood spirit stones. This time it was quite embarrassing.

Although the item has expired, it has been extended for two months until now. The owner has not moved for more than 500 years, as if he has long forgotten the existence of this object, but theoretically, it may still appear in the remaining two months.

Once the owner wants to claim the thing back, and the thing is sold to Lu Baiyu by him, it is not as simple as rolling up the cover and going home.

The advantage of a neutral city is that it will not be affected by the flames of war. As a result, countless classics and treasures have been preserved in Neutral City. In the history of the Broken Treasure House, there have been very few items that have been lost or damaged.

Once this kind of thing happens, it will break the golden sign of the treasure house. The general number will inevitably send a supervisory envoy to investigate in detail. He really wants to lose his head.

"Two months!" Sai Luosheng stretched out two fingers, "City Lord Lu only needs to wait for two months, and this old man will personally pack and send it to the mansion." ”

"Hmph, since there is a shopkeeper's words," Lu Baiyu got up, but the young and vigorous Lu Hao still sat still in a puff and didn't move, "There is no reason for the old man's money to be recovered." I'll put this money here as a deposit. Break off the rules of the treasure house, and if there is no stock when it expires, you can double the compensation. ”

Sai Luosheng took an inventory that had not yet expired as a commodity to Lu Baiyu to see, which had broken the rules. Lu Baiyu wanted to use these five thousand taels of blood spirit stones as a deposit, and he didn't dare not accept it.

Two months later, he couldn't get this Yin Yang Twin Crystal Dan Seed, so he had to return Lu Baiyu 10,000 taels of blood spirit stones. At that time, he was really going to accompany him, and he was worth all his money.

There are a lot of people who have left the treasure house to handle affairs. As soon as Gou Zhu entered, he took a number plate, and there were still hundreds of people waiting in front of him. After more than half an hour, it was finally his turn. He walked up to a small window guarded by an iron bar, and among them was a man with a grim expression, glancing at him, and asked with great familiarity:

"I don't know what I can do for you?"

Gou Zhu took out the purple key in his hand, and before he could say the first half of a sentence, he saw that the man's expression changed, and in a blink of an eye, he was already full of smiles, got up and bowed, and stretched out his right hand to make a gesture of please: "You are a distinguished guest of the purple key, you don't have to line up, please go this way." ”

In order not to attract attention, Gou Zhu did not wear the Taoist robe of the Jade Palace, but the gray cloth short clothes often worn by the merchants who walked in the demon world. In fact, if he was dressed in style, someone would take the initiative to ask him about the level of the magic key he held when he entered the door, and he would not be asked to wait in line at all.

Gou Zhu looked in the direction of the man's outstretched hand, and a heavy iron door opened with a bang. A delicate woman with a smile like a flower, wearing a tight and dignified black dress, with a willow waist and slender legs, stood there and bowed respectfully, and said:

"The little girl Xiao Di is the steward of the Tianzi Honorable Guest. If you have anything in the future, you can use this Jane to send me a message. Please follow me. ”

Beautiful women have seen a lot. But he doesn't come to such a rich place. Ever since he came here, a certain professional mood has begun to stir in his heart.

The iron door is simple, and when you hear the click of the lock, you will know it in your heart. Although it is said to be the iron lock of the demon world, it is actually similar to the copper lock of the rich family he picked up on Qingshi Street, but it is more complicated.

If he was still the little thief on Bluestone Street back then, he would definitely not be able to crack this lock.

Now that he has built a ninefold foundation, he has taken the Nine Souls Determination Divine Pill, plus he also has the power of the eye array, and the power of his divine sense is far beyond that of mortals. He only glanced at it from the outside, and heard the sound of the lock cylinder turning, and he seemed to know all the mechanisms in the lock.

After entering the iron gate, there was a multicolored spiritual light flowing, like a film of prohibition. Gou Zhu knew that this was a layer of water walking array wall, but this kind of array wall required a secret key to crack it.

It takes patience and time to derive the secret key, and mistakes can lead to a ban warning or even kill yourself at any time. So if he sneaks in here with itchy hands, these prohibitions are a real problem.

What he didn't expect was that Xiao Di took his purple magic key and drew it on the prohibition, and suddenly the film-like prohibition was wrapped forward, engulfing them inside. Gou Zhu looked up and saw that they had passed this prohibition.

"My magic key, can actually open this ban?" Gou Zhu couldn't help asking, and hurriedly added, "I only recently got this from the elders, so I don't know what the use is." ”

Xiao Di raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "The honorable guest doesn't know anything. The purple keys of the Honsha are only issued to the most honorable patrons. With this key, many places in the house can be traveled unimpeded. ”

"Oh?" Gou Zhu's heart moved, secretly thinking that this purple magic key seemed to last for a few more months, is it that after taking the Dan seed, there will be a chance to use it in this treasure house, and see what good treasures are hidden in this famous treasure house? Thinking of this, he was itchy and a little hesitant.

After all, he was already a cultivator.

"Where's the thing I'm going to pick?"

"Distinguished guest, please come with me. The woman bowed her head gently and descended down a spiraling hallway. Along the way through several prohibitions, they can all be opened with his purple key. Gou Zhu saw that the walls on all sides had turned into intact amethyrite.

The amethyst rock is extremely strong, and the treasure house that has been cut off from the treasure house is to dig a hole directly into this rock, surrounded by mountains that are unknown how thick. If a thief wants to dig a hole and get in, it will be extremely difficult unless he has the ability to escape.

Gou Zhu guessed that even if there were thieves who knew how to use the stone escape technique, there must be a formation prohibition around them that was specifically used to deal with them.

Walking to the deepest point, there is a huge bronze door that flashes. Xiao Di took out his silver magic key and inserted it into the two keyholes together with the purple magic key of Gouxuan. I heard a boom, and the bronze door slowly moved open.

"Although the little girl is in charge, if you don't have your key, you can't open this door with only the little girl's key. So you can rest assured that it's safe. Xiao Di said proudly.

"Oh, isn't it that if the guests don't come, you won't be able to open the treasury yourself, and you won't even have a backup?"

Xiao Di said with a smile: "It's not that there is no backup key, but there is only one, and it is in the hands of my shopkeeper Sai." Adults are not allowed to come and go at will, and generally only when the collection has not been taken out and must be taken out, can the adult use his treasure house master key to enter and exit here. ”

Walking into the Tianzihao Treasure House, Gou Zhu saw a dense grid, like a medicine cabinet in a pharmacy. Each square is a drawer with a number and a keyhole above each drawer. As far as the eye can see, there are no less than a thousand.

These drawers were antique, the color was like gold, but the surface was warm, and a spatial power emanated from above, obviously all made of dragon wood.

Arousing curiosity, he pulled a drawer. As a result, it didn't move at all. When he looked closely, it was nothing more than a piece of dragon wood that had been nailed to the purple stone wall. Even if it is violently demolished, I am afraid that there will be nothing left.

"Even the Purple Key of the Venerable Guest can only open your treasure chest. Xiao Di found the number of Gou's treasure chest and inserted his magic key into the keyhole. A slight fluctuation of the empty spirit had already pulled the drawer out of nothing.

Looking into the drawer, her face, which had been smiling skillfully, froze. To her surprise, the drawer was empty, as if nothing had ever existed.
