Chapter 2229 New Leaves of the Dark Tree

Chen Yang followed the crowd and entered Jiuhua City.

This city is huge, and it is crowded because there are many people entering and leaving the city gate.

But after Chen Yang walked a distance into the city, the road became loose.

He looked around and found that it was very prosperous here, and it was many times stronger than the capital of the Great Xia Dynasty.

The architectural style in the city was also slightly different, mostly gilded tiles, giving people a gorgeous and solemn feeling.

The Wanbao Conference was held in Jiuhua City, but not the entire Jiuhua City was the venue.

After Chen Yang asked people, he learned that the venue was set up in Xicheng, so he rushed there.

Gradually approaching Xicheng, almost all the people around were heading in that direction.

Because of the Wanbao Conference, the West City Gate was closed, so outsiders could only enter the city from the east, south and north, which led to a larger flow of people going to Xicheng.

Although there were still a few days before the official start of the Wanbao Conference, when Chen Yang arrived in Xicheng, it was already lively.

Looking around, the crisscrossing streets are filled with stalls of all sizes.

There are all kinds of things, such as elixirs, weapons, materials, rare treasures, array plates, etc.

Chen Yang walked along the street, observing each stall and found that there were quite a lot of things, but there was nothing good.

Let alone the fake palace period, even the extraordinary realm would not look down on these roadside stalls.

Some of the larger stalls, or merchants with stores, sell slightly better things, but they are not precious, just ordinary goods.

Before the Wanbao Conference officially begins, truly powerful merchants will not start selling treasures in advance, which will only lower their own grade and will not be able to sell things at a higher price.

These small stalls now are just warm-up.

Of course, everyone takes what they need, and small stalls also have small stalls. Business, it is not that they can't sell.

And Chen Yang also found that in addition to using spirit stones, the transactions between cultivators will also be barter.

However, the premise is that the seller thinks the value is equal and nods in agreement before bartering.

Sometimes, if each other has something that the other needs, it would be great to exchange it.

In order to avoid missing out on good things, Chen Yang spent a whole day looking at every stall.

Unfortunately, he found nothing.

During this period, he did find a rare spiritual herb that was only sold for thirty spiritual stones.

But as soon as he saw it, it was bought by someone else.

Obviously, there were more people who wanted to pick up bargains.

That night, he finally stayed in an inn.

There were too many people, and most inns were full.

The lowest room in the inn where Chen Yang stayed actually charged five spiritual stones a night.

This was a huge profit for the inn.

It must be said that the Wanbao Conference held in Jiuhua City has formed a brand effect. Countless people flocked to it, which boosted the local economy.

In the next few days, Chen Yang spent his time paying attention to several major chambers of commerce and the official Wanbao Building of Jiuhua City.

He cherished the few natural treasures he needed.

If someone has something to show for it, they should appear in these big chambers of commerce.

In order to build momentum, the major chambers of commerce have already begun to publicize the natural treasures that they will auction at this Wanbao Conference, in order to obtain the greatest benefits at the auction.

At this time, if the cultivators have rare items, they can also hand them over to the major chambers of commerce for auction.

If they do, the chambers of commerce will charge a fee of 10% of the auction amount.

This fee is very high, but it will definitely sell at a higher price than selling it by yourself.

After all, the major chambers of commerce attract more people, and there will be more people who can offer the price.

If you meet a buyer who is in urgent need of this item, it may even be auctioned at a sky-high price far exceeding the original value.

Therefore, in the past few days, there are not a few people who went to the major chambers of commerce to auction.

Chen Yang paid attention and found that Tonglai Chamber of Commerce did not come to participate in this Wanbao Conference.

In this regard, many cultivators are also discussing this matter.

Everyone seems to know that something happened to Tonglai Chamber of Commerce. Some people gloated over it, while others secretly regretted it.

Chen Yang visited several chambers of commerce in succession and found that the opening hours of all the chambers of commerce were the same, but the auction time seemed to be intentionally staggered and not in the same time period.

This is understandable, after all, cultivators are too busy to participate in two auctions at the same time.

If the chambers of commerce stagger their time, they can avoid competition and also help to bid higher prices for their goods.

Half a day later, Chen Yang looked at all the major chambers of commerce.

There was a sign hanging at the door of each chamber of commerce, which indicated the items that would be auctioned at the auction.

What made Chen Yang feel very sorry was that the natural treasures he wanted were not available for sale.

The last stop was the official Wanbao Building of Jiuhua City.

This is indeed a building that has always stood here. It does daily business on weekdays. At the Wanbao Conference, in addition to trading and auctioning, it will also be responsible for the preparation, management, organization, and security of the entire Wanbao Conference.

To put it bluntly, Wanbaolou is the official organization of Jiuhua City, directly governed by the city lord Shen Hualing, and all the profits earned go into the pockets of the Shen family.

Chen Yang stood in front of Wanbaolou and felt that it was a huge commercial building.

The storefront was several hundred meters wide and the building was nine stories high.

Other chambers of commerce were far inferior to it.

Although Wanbaolou is not one of the top ten chambers of commerce, it is undoubtedly the local boss of Jiuhua City.

At this time, although the Wanbao Conference has not officially started, Wanbaolou is conducting regular business, and there are people coming and going, with a huge transaction throughput.

On the wall next to the entrance of Wanbaolou, there is a thick wooden board with a length and width of ten meters, on which the auction time and items of the Wanbao Conference are engraved.

Wanbaolou's own items, plus the items sent by others, have reached a total of more than 30 items.

Chen Yang glanced at the items recorded on the board. Although they are all very precious, they are not what he wants.

"It seems that I really returned empty-handed."

He couldn't help but frowned, feeling depressed.

"Look, Shopkeeper Wang is here."

"Presumably, someone else has sent something to bid, and Shopkeeper Wang is here to record it."

"What could it be?"

Just when Chen Yang was about to leave, the surrounding discussions caught his attention.

He looked towards the door and saw a middle-aged man walking out, standing in front of the board, flying in the air, pressing his fingers on the board, and began to carve words.

He wrote very quickly, and in the blink of an eye, the newly added items were recorded on the wooden board.

Then, he returned to the store without introducing them.

These treasures were naturally known to some people, so there was no need to say more.

"New leaves of the dark tree, what is this?"

Looking at the newly added items on the wooden board, someone asked.

As soon as he finished speaking, someone who knew the goods immediately introduced them.
