After the Skyfall

Chapter 372 Slave Owner

This merchant named Xiu Xiang showed great respect when he learned that the divine blood awakened in Li Yi came from the god who fell in the northern wilderness. He warmly invited Li Yi to ride in the same car and even called Mei Ji to accompany him.

But this kind of treatment made Li Yi feel uneasy. He was not from this world and was afraid that talking for too long would arouse suspicion and bring trouble, so he just wanted to say hello and leave after a few pleasantries.

However, this merchant was very enthusiastic and asked his servants to bring all kinds of exotic fruits and fine wines to entertain Li Yi.

Li Yi took a sip of the amber wine, and immediately a surge of blood and energy surged out of his body, turning into silver light that was steaming and burning. All the muscles and bones in his body seemed to be stretched, and the turbid air that had been accumulated for countless years seemed to be quickly released after taking a sip of the wine. He felt an indescribable sense of ease and comfort, as if he was in the magnificent world, and his body and mind were cleansed.

Xiu Xiang was quite surprised to see Li Yi's body filled with silver light. This showed that Li Yi's divine bloodline was very strong, almost comparable to the direct descendants of the divine blood clan. No, it was even stronger than the ordinary direct descendants of divine blood. Moreover, it seemed that there was still a lot of potential to be tapped, which was quite extraordinary.

"Dayi, you have not simply awakened the divine blood, but have almost reverted to your original form. You have infinite potential in the future." He praised sincerely, "If you, Dayi, want to leave a divine bloodline in Beihuang City, I can help you."

Li Yi said: "I came to Beihuang City this time to rescue several companions. They were sold into slavery for some reason. I must find them as soon as possible."

"There is such a thing?" Xiu Xiang was very surprised, and then immediately said: "I will help you with this matter. I am quite familiar with Beihuang City, and maybe I can help you find your companions."

"This is my private matter. It's not nice to trouble you." Li Yi declined.

Xiu Xiang laughed and said, "This is just a trivial matter. How can it be considered troublesome? Let's go. I will go to the slave market in Beihuang City with you immediately."

As he said this he called out, and several warriors riding on exotic beasts immediately came over, also bringing two exotic beasts as mounts.

"Master." The soldier saluted.

Xiu Xiang nodded, then gestured, "Da Yi, please, this matter is urgent, do not hesitate."

Seeing that he had no choice but to agree, Li Yi decided to do it.

He rode on a strange beast, and the merchant named Xiu Xiang rode on another one. Then he gave a few instructions to his servants, and immediately left the caravan with a few soldiers and headed for Beihuang City first.

The grandeur of the towering city can only be felt when you get close to it.

The huge city gate was large enough for dozens of cars to drive in parallel, and after entering the city, Li Yi could sense through his soul that there were countless powerful auras among the people coming and going. He was just an insignificant little character here, unable to attract the slightest attention. If he had not revealed the characteristics of his divine blood, it would have been difficult for him to attract other people's attention.

Moreover, the people in Beihuang City are extremely tall, often over two meters tall, with sturdy build, strong bones, extraordinary physiques, and each of them has amazing supernatural powers.

Such a physique is not acquired through practice at all, but is innately strong, just like genes, it is something in the bones.

However, Li Yi has not yet come into contact with the cultivation of this world.

soon.

Xiu Xiang took Li Yi for a walk in Beihuang City and finally came to a market. The market here was very special. It specialized in selling all kinds of slaves. Among these slaves, there were not only men, women, and children, but also all kinds of exotic beasts. They were locked in cages and trapped with thick chains, unable to break free.

Li Yi was amazed. He saw many rare and exotic animals that he had never seen before, as well as some special human races.

There were several women locked in a cage, but these women had fish fins on their faces and fish tails on their legs, like the legendary mermaids. When Li Yi passed by, these women looked at him with a pair of beautiful eyes like sapphires, as if they were sizing him up, and as if they were begging Li Yi to rescue them.

"The mermaids in the North Sea, the oil on their bodies can be made into eternal lamps, and their tears fall to the ground and become pearls. They are female mermaids, which are more valuable, and can be raised to weave cloth. Mermaids are born knowing how to weave a special kind of cloth, which can be made into water-repellent clothes, which is considered a treasure." Xiu Xiang took a look and said it immediately, showing the knowledge of a merchant.

"Da Yi, if you want I can give it to you."

Li Yi shook his head and said, "I don't need anything, but I have never seen a North Sea mermaid, so I am a little curious."

"Mermaids appear in the North Sea, which is indeed rare in other places." Xiu Xiang nodded.

Li Yi continued to move forward, and then he saw some familiar beasts, such as Shan Yi. Moreover, the Shan Yi here was larger and more dangerous. Even though it was trapped by chains, it was still trying to struggle, making violent crashing noises.

Soon, a strange look appeared on his face again.

Because he saw a black dragon-shaped creature trapped in a cage, unable to break free.

"That is a dragon, eight hundred years old. It will transform into a dragon when it is two hundred years old. Its skin can be made into armor. Last year, eight hundred dragons were caught here and the price was very good. But fewer dragons were caught this year." Xiu Xiang took a look and only saw two dragons in the shop, one big and one small. There were no other good goods.

Li Yi's eyelids twitched when he heard this.

Eight hundred dragons were caught here last year? And the greatest value of dragons is their skin, which can be used to make leather armor?

What the hell kind of place is this?

"Merchant, how about selling this dragon to you?" the shopkeeper greeted enthusiastically at this moment.

"It's just one piece. It's useless to buy it." Xiu Xiang wanted to refuse, but suddenly said, "It's not bad if it can be used to make armor. How much for a set of armor?"

"Eight hundred gold." The shopkeeper said with a smile.

"The price is fair. I'll give you the gold. I want to get a set of armor. I'll send my servant to get it later." Xiu Xiang took out a few red gold coins from his body and threw eight of them over. The red gold was not ordinary gold. It was a magical metal that Li Yi had never seen before. Moreover, eight coins could buy an eight-hundred-year-old dragon, which showed the strong purchasing power of the red gold.

The shopkeeper laughed even more happily after getting the money, and then he immediately called the butcher.

But then a big man with bare upper body, holding a short knife with a cold glow, strode out and went straight to the cage where the dragon was imprisoned, obviously intending to skin it and make armor.

Even though the dragon was captured, its life breath was still very strong. If it were outside, it would definitely be able to easily crush a strong man at the spiritual power level. But now it is powerless to resist and can only watch the butcher knife approach.

Li Yi continued to move forward, but unfortunately he did not see the bloody scene of the other party killing the dragon and skinning it.

But he now has a clearer understanding of how terrible this world is.

However, Xiu Xiang, who bought a dragon, was very calm, as if it was just a trivial matter. He took Li Yi to continue strolling in the market. When he met some rare and exotic beasts, he took the initiative to introduce them to Li Yi. However, the direction of his introduction was very special. He always said that the meat and bones of the beast could be taken.

Or it can be used as a mount. All he considers is the value of the exotic beast. He truly deserves to be a businessman.

After visiting the area where exotic animals were sold, the few people soon came to the place where living people were sold.

All kinds of people were captured and became slaves, including strong warriors and women. However, in the slave market, warriors were very popular and many people were willing to pay to buy them. On the contrary, few people bought women, and only some very beautiful women were favored and bought to be trained as beauties or dancers.

"My accomplices were trafficked here about ten days ago. These are their portraits. I hope the merchant can help me." Li Yi took out a few photos at this moment, which were all extracted from the Thunder Fighter.

"No problem." Xiu Xiang took the photo, showed it to the servant beside him, and then immediately said, "Go, there will be a reward if you find it."

Immediately, the servants became a little agitated and responded and dispersed.

This task was easy for them and they were all eager to get the reward.

Xiu Xiang also took Li Yi to find a slave owner. This slave owner had a wide network of contacts in this market and knew a lot of information, so Xiu Xiang directly took out photos of Jiang Mingtian, Hu Fei, and Zhao Fangji and asked: "Have you seen these slaves recently? I want to buy them."

The slave owner was a man in his fifties or sixties, with thin skin but a tall frame. He held a wooden staff and wore a leather cloak. His long beard hung down to his chest. He looked like a shrewd businessman and a respected elder.

"I've never seen one. Such slaves are weak and useless and can't be sold at a high price. They must have been bought by individual customers." The slave owner squinted his eyes, looked at the photo, and then shook his head.

Good guy.

Jiang Mingtian and other people in the Soul Realm are actually low-level slaves here and are worthless.

"I want to find how much money?" Xiu Xiang asked seriously.

"A piece of pure gold." The slave owner stretched out a skinny finger and smiled cunningly.

These three slaves are definitely not worth a single piece of pure gold, and he is just asking for a higher price.

Xiu Xiang frowned, but soon smiled again: "Okay, I'll give you the gold. After you find it, rescue it and send it to Shoushan Village outside Beihuang City."

As he said this, he took out another piece of red gold and handed it to the slave owner.

The slave owner took it and smiled and said, "Yes."

Once you make a promise, you cannot break it.

This is the rule among merchants.

Then several people left again.

At the same time, the other servants who were sent out also came back one by one, and all shook their heads, indicating that they did not look for the three people.

Such a result made Xiu Xiang sigh with guilt: "Dayi, I'm sorry, I'm afraid it's hard to find your friend, but the slave owner has made a promise that as long as there is news, he will redeem him and send him to Shoushan Village. I made a promise and I will definitely fulfill it, please rest assured."

Li Yi understood after seeing this that Jiang Mingtian and the others might have been bought by some wandering customers. In this huge city without surveillance cameras, it would be extremely difficult to track down the three of them.

He had limited power and was unfamiliar with the place. He could not find the place even with the appreciation of the merchant leader, and he estimated that it would be difficult for him to achieve anything on his own.

It’s not that I don’t want to rescue them, it’s just that the world is so big and I don’t know where to start.

"Thank you for your help. Even if I can't find my friend, I will remember your kindness." Li Yi said, "I don't have anything to repay you. I can only give you a few exotic fruits. I hope you don't mind."

As he spoke, he took out a few silver exotic fruits and handed them to the merchant named Xiu Xiang.

　Modified the currency system. Jiang Mingtian can be sold for 100 coins per person, which is not worth one gold.
