Chapter 176

"Please follow me!"

The shopkeeper didn't have any suspicions.

Because maps were also one of the items they operated, and the sales were quite good; many cultivators came to buy them for the purpose of traveling in Dingxiang County.

In the eyes of the chamber of commerce, this was not abrupt!

The shopkeeper brought He Pingsheng to a shelf.

He pointed to the maps here and said, "We have three types of maps regarding Dingxiang County here!"

"The first type is a simple map that only marks distances and mountain terrain!"

"The second type not only marks distances and various terrains, but also marks all the forces located within Dingxiang County."

"The third type is the most complex; it not only marks various forces, but also various mystic realms, production, mineral deposits, locations of heavenly materials and earthly treasures, etc., within the scope of Dingxiang County. Which one does Fellow Daoist want?"

The shopkeeper introduced slowly.

He Pingsheng asked, "How is the price?"

The shopkeeper smiled and said, "The first type is the cheapest, only one hundred spirit stones; the second type is five hundred spirit stones; as for the third type, two thousand spirit stones!"

"Of course, I'm talking about low-tier spirit stones!"

He Pingsheng almost jumped up: "Two thousand spirit stones, shopkeeper, this is too expensive!"

It's just a map.

And this kind of map is not a one-time consumable, he can copy countless copies.

And you sell it so expensive?

"Can it be cheaper?" He Pingsheng looked at the shopkeeper: "Otherwise, I'd rather go out and buy it privately from others!"

Maps are not necessarily bought from the chamber of commerce; if others buy them, copying one is also fine.

"Hehehe..." The shopkeeper smiled and said, "What Fellow Daoist said is also true, but the maps bought outside are not as accurate as ours, and can you guarantee that the other party won't play tricks on the map?"

"Besides, those maps they bought are from how many years ago, some are from hundreds of years ago!"

"Even if you get it, the information on it is not accurate!"

"How about this, if you want this third type, I'll give you a fifty percent discount, one thousand spirit stones!"

"And... I'll also give you a piece of news!"

He Pingsheng frowned: "News? What news?"

The shopkeeper said, "In this Dingxiang County, cultivation forces are complex and numerous, changing almost every year. We will summarize and organize, and issue a change map regarding the forces of the entire Dingxiang County every half year. I can give it to you for ten consecutive years!"

"It's equivalent to you being able to update the map twenty times for free!"

He Pingsheng nodded and said, "Good!"

He took out one thousand spirit stones and bought the highest-level map.

He took a look, no problem, and then put it away.

"Does Fellow Daoist need anything else?" The shopkeeper looked at He Pingsheng with a smile.

He Pingsheng nodded and said, "I want to buy a few second-tier poison elixirs, I don't know if you have any for sale here?"

Originally, he had pre-ordered 5,000 spirit stones worth of poison elixirs at the Fenghe Manor in Matou Mountain, a total of one hundred.

He even asked Master to go get them.

Unfortunately, before he could get them, the sect had already disbanded.

A huge loss!

But there's no way, who could have thought that things would change so quickly, better to buy them again.

Isn't it just a matter of five thousand spirit stones?

"Yes..." The chamber of commerce didn't let He Pingsheng down. The shopkeeper brought him directly to another place and said, "Second-tier poison elixirs, we still have thirteen here!"

"All at the same price, one hundred spirit stones per poison elixir!"

One hundred spirit stones!

This is twice as expensive as the price he bought them for at Matou Mountain back then.

But there's no way, who told them this is Dingxiang City!

"Okay!" He Pingsheng said, "Give them to me, I'll take them all!"

After buying thirteen poison elixirs, He Pingsheng didn't linger here, but walked out.

Originally, he also wanted to buy some medicinal materials for refining 【Spirit-Gathering Elixirs】, but later he gave up.

He Pingsheng felt that he couldn't buy too many things in one shop, who knows if there are eyes staring at you behind?

There is too much deceit in this cultivation world.

After leaving the Dingxiang Chamber of Commerce, He Pingsheng walked slowly and aimlessly, while walking, he took out the map and stuck it on his forehead, separating a wisp of spiritual sense to go deep into it to investigate.

There is a lot of information on the map, and it is impossible to remember it all in one breath.

But it doesn't matter, He Pingsheng just wants to see where this Dingxiang City is? How far is it from the Tai Xu Sect and the Dao Xuan Alliance?

He saw it soon.

This Dingxiang City is almost in the middle of the entire Dingxiang County, and the entire Dingxiang County, with Dingxiang City as the center, radiates to the southeast, northwest, each with a distance of 100,000 to 200,000 miles.

Dingxiang City is surrounded by mountains, and there are many spiritual veins in the mountains, so there are many sects around Dingxiang City.

And the so-called Dao Xuan Alliance is in the northwest of Dingxiang City, belonging to the corner of Dingxiang County.

The map not only marks the sphere of influence of the Dao Xuan Alliance, but the location of every sect and cultivation family in this range is also marked.

Extremely detailed.

Even the Hou family, which was destroyed a few years ago, has a note on it: The location of the original cultivation family Hou family, has been destroyed!

From the map, the entire Dao Xuan Alliance occupies less than one percent of Dingxiang County's territory, and there are about twenty cultivation forces of similar size to the 【Dao Xuan Alliance】 in the entire Dingxiang County!

This does not count the forces in Dingxiang City.

Seeing this, He Pingsheng breathed a deep sigh of relief.

Compared with the entire Dingxiang County, the strength of this Dao Xuan Alliance is really negligible, let alone the mere Beast-Taming Immortal Sect in the Dao Xuan Alliance?

It can be understood that neither the Dao Xuan Alliance nor the Beast-Taming Immortal Sect's forces are likely to reach Dingxiang City, and even if there is some connection, it is impossible to reach the point of covering the sky with one hand.

"Let's stay in Dingxiang City for now!" He Pingsheng muttered to himself: "This is not only safe, but also allows me to get news from the Dao Xuan Alliance in time!"

In addition to maps, force markings, and various mineral resources, locations of heavenly materials and earthly treasures, there is also a lot of text on it.

Text is essential, some things cannot be drawn.

From this text, it can be known that Dingxiang County is just a large county of the 【Qi State】.

But what exactly is the Qi State like, how big is the Qi State, where is the map, and how many neighboring countries are there?

This information is not on the map.

Putting away the map, He Pingsheng gradually slowed his pace, his gaze sweeping across the buildings on both sides of the street in turn.

Not far ahead, there was a place called 【Cultivation Grocery Store】.

He Pingsheng came to the front of this cultivation grocery store, and only after getting close did he discover that there was a line of small characters under the big sign, writing 【This shop only sells various needs for Qi Condensation disciples】.

Good fellow!

It's really low-level enough.

However, He Pingsheng still walked in.
