After a long journey of ten days, the representative teams from the Ten Countries finally arrived at Qinghe City.
"This is Qinghe City, so different from Ka City."
Ouyang Chenchen jumped down from the horse carriage and looked around.
Compared to Qinghe City, Ka City seed like a small witch eting a great wizard, as the rcenaries coming and going here were much stronger than those in Ka City.
No wonder the team leaders chose Qinghe City as the final competition venue for the Competition Among Ten Countries. This place indeed was extraordinary, with various landscapes surrounding the city that were different from other areas in Great Chu.
Before the team mbers could admire the scenery of Qinghe City, several tall young n and won erged from the city gate.
They all exuded a special aura unique to rcenaries, dressed in crimson robes embroidered with the words "Qinghe Inn."
Seeing them, the passing rcenaries showed expressions of respect.
Although located at the junction of several countries, Qinghe City, as a rcenary City, stood independently from these countries. Unlike other cities governed by a city lord or other officials, the highest authority here was held by the local inn host.
These young n and won in crimson robes were the rcenaries from Qinghe Inn, ordered by the host to welco the teams from the Ten Countries.
"Ladies and gentlen, welco to Qinghe City. The host has prepared a banquet at a restaurant in the city to entertain all the team leaders."
The leading young man, with a head full of red hair and approximately twenty-five or twenty-six years old.
His voice was hearty, and the Gang Qi around him was undisguised, indicating he was a strong practitioner at the level of Wuji Water Seal. The lady beside him was beautiful, with a Wenhua Water Seal shining brightly on her forehead.
These two were the left and right arms of the Qinghe Inn’s host. As for the mbers of the teams from the Ten Countries, they were also accommodated in different guesthouses within the city.
The team leaders went to the banquet, while other team mbers went to rest in the guesthouses, which suited Feng Bailing’s plans perfectly. After arriving at Qinghe City, she was eager to check out the situation at the Qinghe Branch of the Phoenix Chamber of Comrce.
The Great Chu Representative Team was settled in the Fuman Building in the west of the city. Feng Bailing and Dugu Xiaojin and others went to settle into the inn and then strolled around the city.
On the way, Dongfang Yong together with Feng Luochen and Hong Xuan went to the inn and parted ways from Feng Bailing and the others.
anwhile, in Fuman Building, Nalan Yan’er had just finished listening to a report from her subordinate.
Her beautiful eyes narrowed.
"Is everything you said true? Does Princess Consort Wu possess a Heavenly Weapon?"
"Absolutely true, Crown Princess Consort. The Heavenly Weapon in Princess Consort Wu’s hands can split open monster’s heads, and its power is extraordinary. Otherwise, how could she have saved so many people?"
A forr substitute mber of the Great Chu Team A, after witnessing the might of the Heavenly Weapon in Feng Bailing’s hands, ca to report, just as Dongfang Yu went to the banquet, he reported the matter to Nalan Yan’er.
"Mother, they have Heavenly Weapons, and we have Heavenly Weapons too, there’s nothing to fear."
Dongfang Jin saw the worried expression on his mother’s face and was sowhat dismissive.
Dugu Xiaojin’s mother had little power, even with a Heavenly Weapon, it wouldn’t be very effective, at most, it could be used for self-defense.
Nalan Yan’er waved her hand, signaling the subordinate to leave first.
She paced back and forth in the room, sowhat agitated.
"Jinjin, you have no idea how cunning that woman Feng Bailing is. How did she acquire her Heavenly Weapon? Elder Liu clearly stated that there aren’t many Heavenly Weapons in the market. According to that team mber’s description, the quality of Feng Bailing’s Heavenly Weapon seems to be even better than yours. I must find Elder Liu and persuade him to help us forge a few better Heavenly Weapons, no matter what."
Nalan Yan’er absolutely could not accept that Feng Bailing possessed a Heavenly Weapon of superior quality to hers.
She heard from Elder Liu that the Qinghe Netherworld Market was substantial in size, and Elder Liu would also be there during this period; it was a perfect opportunity for her to acquire a few more Heavenly Weapons.
In the bustling streets of Qinghe City, Feng Bailing was accompanied by Dugu Xiaojin, and Xiaojin was with the White Wolf King.
Along the way, Feng Bailing reminded Xiaojin several tis to keep an eye on the White Wolf and not let it run amok.
Once on the street, the White Wolf was very lively, darting from east to west, its tall and fierce appearance frightened many passersby.
Seeing the Queen Mother with a headache, Dugu Xiaojin could only take the White Wolf back to the inn first.
Feng Bailing, in the busiest street of the city, imdiately saw a grand three-story building.
Qinghe City, located in the northwest, mostly features the rugged architectural style of the northwest, but this building in front of her was resplendent and majestic, no less imposing than the Imperial Palace of Great Chu, with "Qinghe Netherworld Market" hanging at the front.
As one of the nine major rcenary Cities, the Netherworld Market in Qinghe City was thriving, constantly frequented by rcenaries from various places.
Feng Bailing searched around Qinghe City and eventually found a branch of the Phoenix Chamber of Comrce in an inconspicuous street corner.
Unlike the bustling scenes of the Netherworld Market, the Qinghe branch was much quieter, with hardly any visitors compared to the thriving main Phoenix Chamber of Comrce in Chu City.
It was not that the Qinghe branch lacked business; the Netherworld Market had been operating locally for decades with a stable clientele. Recently, the Netherworld Market had cultivated new dicinal herbs, which improved its reputation among the rcenaries who naturally preferred to go to Minming City to buy their dicinal herbs and equipnt.
As for the Qinghe branch, a newly established small branch overshadowed by the Netherworld Market, most rcenaries didn’t even notice that there was an additional small chamber of comrce in Qinghe City.
Feng Bailing walked into a quiet alley, disguised herself as Feng San, then entered the Qinghe branch.
"dicine liquid, top-quality dicine liquid, good value for money, co take a look, co see!"
Just as Feng Bailing arrived at the entrance of the Qinghe branch, she heard a familiar hawking voice; it was Zhang Erfa, shouting at the top of his lungs at the door.
However, his hawking voice was quickly drowned out by the noisy crowd, and no one entered the Qinghe branch. Zhang Erfa looked troubled with his furrowed brow, arranging the bottles and jars in front of him.
The bottles and jars contained the latest refined dicine liquids by Feng San. Seeing Zhang Erfa’s situation, Feng Bailing realized these dicine liquids were not selling well.
Hearing the footsteps, Zhang Erfa’s heart leapt with joy, and he greeted with a big smile.
"This custor, take a look at our Qinghe branch’s dicine liquid, it’s very effective, and the price is only..."
He hadn’t finished speaking when he saw the person and suddenly fell silent.
"Second Brother Zhang, you’ve gained another skill point recently," Feng Bailing teased.
Now, from Zhang Erfa, hardly a shadow of a rcenary could be seen.
"Hey, Feng San, don’t make fun of ," Zhang Erfa said, sowhat embarrassed, scratching his head.
"Sorry, Feng San, I’ve been here for nearly half a month, and I haven’t sold a single bottle of dicine. It’s strange, our dicine is so good and priced so cheaply, but they just don’t buy it; they insist on going to the Netherworld Market to buy those expensive dicinal herbs."
