I save spiritual roots for the next life

Chapter 338 Meeting an old friend by chance

Blackstone City is not like Yunzhou City. The city gates are heavily guarded, and everyone who enters the city is scrutinized in detail.

After all, it is nominally the private city of Prince Yun's Mansion, so there is nothing wrong with it.

But in Li Jizhou's eyes, it was particularly annoying.

There is no royal land in the world, and there should be no private cities in the Jiuli Dynasty!

Fang Qingwei took out the identity jade talisman she had prepared in advance. It was the name of another merchant with whom she had made friends in Yunzhou City.

After seeing the jade talisman, the city gate guard glanced at Li Jizhou, especially Fang Qingwei and Hong Luan behind him, and a hint of joy flashed across his face.

Without further questioning, he smiled and invited him into the city.

"Is this Black Stone City so prosperous?" After half a day in the city, Li Jizhou looked at Fang Qingwei in confusion.

"Young master, you don't know. Almost 80% of the raw stone mines of merchants in Blackstone City come from bandits. Some of them are even opened by themselves. They have robbed the spirit stone mines. It is too risky to mine them by themselves, and ordinary senior stone mines are not willing to do so." I travel with them everywhere, so most of them come here to sell their stolen goods.

Because it has no origin, the price is nearly 50% lower than in Yunzhou City! "Fang Qingwei explained.

"That's it!" Looking at the crowded market, Li Jizhou nodded secretly.

In addition to the largest number of various types of stone shops, there are also various shops such as alchemy and talisman arrays, but most of them are second-hand shops, and their origins are probably from no-profit transactions.

The tax revenue Prince Yun's Mansion relies on from Black Rock City every year is probably an astronomical figure, but it actually supports gangsters like the Tunjin Gang?

Are you really taming high-level dead soldiers?

"Sir, the little girl wants to go to the palace to keep a close eye on her. You..." Fang Qingwei had already made a plan in his mind.

Li Jizhou nodded. He originally wanted to use Fang Qingwei to enter Black Stone City, but now his goal has been achieved.

But before he left, Li Jizhou asked him for some detailed information about Black Rock City.

"Blackstone Square?" After Fang Qingwei left, Li Jizhou's brows were frivolous and he headed towards Blackstone Square.

Blackstone Square is a stone gambling shop opened by Prince Yun's Mansion. However, compared to other thieves and bandits in the city, the price of raw stone in Blackstone Square is a bit higher. Of course, it is always lower than that in Yunzhou City.

Li Jizhou did not hesitate and immediately led Hong Luan towards Blackstone Square.

Although the price of the Lingshi mine in Blackstone Square is slightly higher, there is an endless stream of people inside, probably because of the blessing of Prince Yun's Mansion.

It wasn't until Li Jizhou stepped into it that he realized that its booming business was also related to its huge internal scale.

There are five whole yards of raw stone mines, all of which are fully displayed.

Prices range from kilograms of materials in the outermost courtyard to strange stones in the fifth courtyard that require a capital verification of 200,000 medium-grade spiritual stones before entering. There is a lot of room to choose from various types.

The courtyard is full of slogans, which are nothing more than fairness, justice and openness, never force, and you can take away whatever you win. Even if the Xuantian Treasure is opened, Prince Yun's Mansion can guarantee the safety of its Black Stone City.

"I wonder if my good fortune is stable?" Li Jizhou walked directly to the fifth courtyard, checked his financial resources, and pondered for a moment before facing several strange stones that were said to have a high probability of yielding heavenly materials and earthly treasures.

In his eyes, these should all be his, but at this moment, he still needs to spend spiritual stones to gamble.

Even lose the bet.

"The Crown Prince is coming, please give way!"

At this moment, a sharp shout sounded from behind.

Then the group of people, led by the head shopkeeper of Heishifang, arrived at the fifth courtyard.

"The crown prince? My great-great-grandson?" Li Jizhou turned around with a smile on his face.

"Is it her?" Suddenly, a figure in front of him made Li Jizhou pause slightly.

I saw the young prince behind the big shopkeeper with his head held high, followed by a group of masters in regular uniforms, but with an obvious military atmosphere.

Among these masters, Liu Hongling's familiar yet unfamiliar face caught Li Jizhou's eyes.

What was familiar was the appearance and figure, but what was unfamiliar was the aloof indifference exuding from his body.
