Chapter 713 The Ruined Merchant Guild
"Fortunately, this looks like an official road."
"Although Cloudview Valley is a moving, independent space, it doesn't seem to take us very far away at the moment."
As a beam of light flashed and fell, the figures of Lin Que and Shen Wuliang slowly emerged from it.
At this moment, the outside world was still shrouded in a gray sky.
However, unlike southern Xinjiang and central Cangzhou, Yunwang Valley is located in the frigid northern region, which is extremely cold.
So when the two emerged, all they saw above them was an endless expanse of white snow, covering the entire land, with snowflakes constantly falling from the sky and landing on their shoulders.
Fortunately, there was nothing unusual in the snow, and compared to other regions, the northern part of the country seemed to be more normal.
Lin Que quickly realized from the road beneath their feet that it was an official road, and there were traces left by a hearse that had passed by, which put him at ease.
This proves that we are not far from an inhabited city, and we may be able to reach it soon.
After exchanging a glance, Lin Que and Shen Wuliang took to the air and flew along the official road.
After flying for half an hour, their eyes lit up instantly!
A majestic city stood before them, and below, the crowds of people were growing. Although most of them were members of the Divine Cult, Lin Que and Shen Wuliang had already disguised themselves, so they had nothing to worry about.
Shenbei City.
This is the name of the city.
It's unclear whether it's due to the Chongming Divine Sect, but all the cities Lin Que has visited on the Chongming Continent have names that begin with the character "神" (god).
After falling from the void, the two quickly arrived at the city gate and entered the city after paying the entrance spirit stones.
Although Shenbei City is large, apart from being covered in snow, it is not particularly special compared to other cities.
Soon, the two found an inn and booked a room. Then they went out to look for merchants in the city to see if they had the two refining materials that Xu Changxian needed.
"What are you two gentlemen looking for?"
When the two arrived at a merchant guild, a smiling maid came up to greet them and took the initiative to greet Lin Que and Shen Wuliang.
Upon hearing this, Lin Que quickly asked, "Is that so? I would like to ask if your merchant guild has any Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Ice Jade or Flowing Breath Dew?"
However, when Lin Que looked at the maid with an expectant expression, the maid shook her head regretfully.
"I'm sorry, young master, this merchant does not have either of these items."
"These two things are extremely rare, especially in the already remote and frigid northern region."
"The two gentlemen can go and see other chambers of commerce; perhaps other chambers of commerce exist."
"In that case, thank you!"
"You're welcome, young master."
Helpless, Lin Que and Shen Wuliang had no choice but to try their luck at the next merchant guild.
But perhaps because these two items were really too rare, Lin Que and his group visited four or five chambers of commerce in a row, and none of them said they had them, which made them feel disappointed!
Unaware of the situation, Shen Wuliang asked curiously, "By the way, are those two things really that important?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Que said helplessly, "It's not important to us, but if we want to refine the Concealment Pearl, we need those two things."
"So Liu Qingyi is more important to me."
"Let's go!"
"I heard that the one ahead is the last merchant guild in Shenbei City. If it's not there yet, we'll have to go to a city that's closer to Cangzhong."
As they walked and chatted, the number of people on the road gradually decreased, and the two soon arrived in front of a very dilapidated building, leaving them completely dumbfounded!
The exterior of the pavilion was very old and dilapidated, and when looking inside from the outside, the light was dim and it was filled with all sorts of clutter, with not a single person in sight.
Even the street where Lin Que and Shen Wuliang were standing was deserted.
Moreover, a crooked, rickety plaque hangs above the entrance to the attic.
Mibaozhai.
Seeing this, both of them fell silent...
Are you sure you have the two things you need here?
"I think...it shouldn't be."
"Then let's not say anything more and go."
After saying that, the two turned around and were about to leave.
Just as they lifted their feet to leave, an incredibly excited voice came from behind them, from the dilapidated pavilion.
"Ouch!"
"Please don't rush off, gentlemen!"
"Since we've already arrived at the gates of our chamber of commerce, why not come in and take a look?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Que and Shen Wuliang turned around suspiciously and saw a short old man with disheveled hair and a smiling face hurriedly slip out of the pavilion.
The short old man was dressed in a shabby gray robe, but his smile was incredibly bright and excited, revealing his remaining two or three yellow teeth.
"Hehe, what are you two gentlemen looking for?"
"Our chamber of commerce has everything you could want!"
"We guarantee that both of you will be completely satisfied!"
Looking at the short old man who barely reached his waist, Lin Que remained silent for a moment before sighing and asking, "Then I'd like to ask, does your merchant guild possess the Ten Thousand Year Soul Ice Jade and the Flowing Breath Dew?"
The tone was so casual, as if Lin Que had no hope at all and was just asking casually.
But the next moment!
The old man's smile suddenly became even more enthusiastic!
"Have!"
"In that case, we won't fight... What?!" In an instant, Lin Que's eyes widened!
He even doubted whether he had heard correctly, and quickly asked again to confirm!
"You mean you have the Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Ice Jade and the Flowing Essence Dew?!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Que stared intently at the short, disheveled old man in front of him.
But the old man still smiled and nodded.
"That's right!"
"Therefore, we would like to invite you two gentlemen to enter our chamber of commerce for a chat!"
"hey-hey!"
After saying that, the short old man immediately turned around and led Lin Que and Shen Wuliang toward his dilapidated merchant guild, looking back every few steps.
Upon seeing this, Lin Que and Shen Wuliang looked at each other in disbelief, and then walked inside with a hint of shock.
Upon entering the chamber of commerce building, it was indeed just as it appeared from the outside: cluttered with miscellaneous items, making it look messy and chaotic, with not a single suitable place to stand.
"Rou'er, come out and greet the guests!"
The old man suddenly shouted excitedly!
"what?!"
"Grandpa, have we really had guests visiting our chamber of commerce?"
"Could it be that the sun has risen in the west?"
"Grandpa, you're not joking with your granddaughter, are you?"
"Isn't our chamber of commerce about to go bankrupt?"
A rustling sound came from behind, and then Lin Que and Shen Wuliang saw a girl with disheveled hair emerge from a pile of junk...
