Chapter 143 - 140: Looking Down on Others with a Dog’s Eyes?_l
In the end, it was decided that Yang Chen, Yang Jin He, Elder Yang, Yang Yuan, and Yang Wu would venture beyond the Great Wilderness to explore the outside world and facilitate the sale of Gravity Pills.
For Yang Chen, this journey out of the Great Wilderness was very meaningful because each step further took him closer to Hua Wanru.
Although the Yang family rarely left the Great Wilderness, they still knew quite a bit about the geography of North Mountain County.
North Mountain County was divided into four major powers, with Beishan Main City as the center, controlling the entire North Mountain County under the jurisdiction of the imperial dynasty. Apart from that, there were three other independent sect forces.
Of course, all of this seemed too far away for those living in Great Wilderness. The nearest city to the Great Wilderness was called ‘Liaocheng.’ It was a remote
corner ot North Mountain County with a small garrison ot North Mountain guards led by Liaocheng City Lord Mansion. However, law enforcement wasn’t strict. It was rumored that the Horse Bandit Gang was formed by some defected North Mountain guards who fled into the Great Wilderness.
Yang Chen roughly understood some information about North Mountain County from these details.
So, the five of them traveled a long distance, riding their fine horses. After spending three days, they finally arrived in Liaocheng. They paid 1000 Spirit Stones to enter the city.
“So this is the world beyond the Great Wilderness. It’s truly magnificent. My goodness, there’s nothing like it within the Great Wilderness. It’s simply astounding.” Yang Wu’s eyes widened as soon as he stepped into Liaocheng and saw the bustling buildings and crowd.
Yang Yuan scolded him, “Just after entering the city, you’re already like this? Don’t be so inexperienced; learn from Yang Chen. He’s never been here either, but look at him!”
Yang Wu couldn’t help but glance at Yang Chen, only to find him calm and unruffled, completely unaffected by their surroundings.
This made Yang Wu scratch his head, “I used to think that I had seen a lot, but now I realize that I’m still nothing more than a frog in a well.”
Yang Chen smiled faintly; it wasn’t that he was calm, it was just that he had seen far grander scenes in his previous life, so a mere Liaocheng couldn’t astonish him.
Yang Jin He gently said, “Indeed, Liaocheng is far beyond anything in the Great Wilderness. At a glance, there are many martial artists flying in the sky, most of them being experts in the Spirit Martial Realm. There are even some who look quite young, only in their early twenties, who have already reached the Spirit Martial Realm!”
“Yes, the geniuses of the outside world are much stronger than those from Great Wilderness. However, I believe that Yang Chen might not necessarily lose to those geniuses.” Elder Yang’s eyes were resolute.
Yang Jin He nodded, “In any case, our main task now is to establish a channel for the sale of Gravity Pills. If the sales go well and resources are available, our Yang family can also cultivate more geniuses.”
“Clan Leader, look, there’s a Chamber of Commerce!” Yang Chen pointed out.
Yang Jin He also noticed and looked sidelong, “The Yuan Family Commerce, hahaha, this is exactly the one we’re looking for.”
Yuan Family Commerce was one of the top two Chambers of Commerce in Liaocheng.
Yang Jin He had traveled beyond the Great Wilderness before and had experienced the outside world, so he naturally knew about this.
With that thought, the five of them went straight into the Yuan Family Commerce.
As soon as Yang Wu entered the Chamber of Commerce, his eyes lit up upon seeing the dazzling array of treasures. He looked here and there, which annoyed the shopkeeper.
Yang Jin He had an embarrassed expression, “Shopkeeper, we want to sell some items!”
Of course, he wasn’t foolish enough to directly mention selling Gravity Pills.
Instead, he wanted to sell some treasures they had obtained from Monster Beast Mountain first to test the waters. If the situation was suitable, then they could discuss the Gravity Pill business later.
The shopkeeper glanced at Yang Wu and could easily tell with his experience that they were from the Great Wilderness, so he looked down on them and said, “What do you want to sell?”
“Well, we would like to sell…”
Before Yang Jin He could even finish speaking, the shopkeeper suddenly changed his attitude and looked at the person outside the door with a fawning smile, “Young Master Huang, what wind has blown you here? Please, come in quickly!”
As he spoke, the shopkeeper immediately bent down and ran out to welcome
cne newcomer.
A young man with an imposing demeanor and hands on his back strolled in from outside, glanced dismissively at Yang Chen and the others, and said loudly, “Shopkeeper, have the goods I ordered arrived yet?”
“They’ve arrived, they’ve arrived!” The shopkeeper’s face was full of smiles.
Yang Wu was infuriated by this scene.
He was already impulsive and hot-headed, so when he saw the shopkeeper looking down on people, he couldn’t help but snap, “Shopkeeper!”
The shopkeeper briefly glanced at Yang Wu as if he hadn’t heard him, then turned his attention back to attending to Young Master Huang.
“Shopkeeper, isn’t there a rule of first-come-first-served here? We were here first!” Yang Wu said in a deep voice.
“Yang Wu,” Elder Yang frowned slightly. Hadn’t he warned the youngster to stay calm when they were in Liaocheng?
This, of course, wasn’t Yang Wu’s fault. After all, anyone would be upset when faced with a shopkeeper like this, who dismissed them so blatantly.
Despite their arrival, the shopkeeper paid no attention to them and went to attend to someone else.
When the shopkeeper heard Yang Wu’s words, he sneered sarcastically, “You lot from the Great Wilderness, don’t even bother to look in the mirror with that attitude. What good items could you possibly sell? Just scram to the side and don’t bother me while I receive Young Master Huang. Can you backcountry people afford to pay for delaying his pleasure?”
“You!” Yang Wu was about to burst with anger when Yang Chen gestured to calm him down.
At this moment, Yang Chen stepped forward, “Shopkeeper, you say we can’t sell any valuable items?”
“What’s the matter? Did I say something wrong? Just look at yourselves,” the shopkeeper snickered.
Meanwhile, Young Master Huang stood aside with a look of disdain, clearly enjoying the show.
Yang Chen laughed, took a bottle from his storage bag without losing his cool, and slammed it on the table, “Open your dog eyes and take a good look at what is this!”
Initially, the shopkeeper didn’t think Yang Chen could take out any valuable items and only glanced at the bottle instinctively. However, when he saw what was inside the bottle, his expression changed, “Tianning Water, where did you get this?”
Yang Chen chose to reveal the items because he didn’t want Yang Wu to suffer and because he was tired of the shopkeeper looking down on them.
“Looks like your eyes are not that bad. Now take a look at this!” Yang Chen threw out another item.
“This is… this is Earth Elemental Leaf!”
“Bang! Bang, bang!”
Immediately afterward, Yang Chen slammed out a large number of items in quick succession.
“This… this is Fragrant Grass, and Curious Arts Flower, and this, this!”
The shopkeeper couldn’t remain calm any longer.
That was because each item Yang Chen had taken out was a rare treasure in the outside world.
Yang Chen’s expression was indifferent, “Since you’re looking down on people,
I’ll show you what real treasure looks like!”
