C1156 The Rhythm of the Big Money
Ye Bufan's heart sank. He knew that there must be a reason for doing this, and this reason might not be good news to him.
Sure enough, he heard someone in the crowd say in a low voice, "It's said that many people in Heavenly Treasure State want to go back, but can't buy a ticket. There are often incidents of people trying to break through to the Airship."
Many people in the crowd were in an uproar. This was a fact that they understood.
If someone wanted to break through to the Airship realm and return to Soul Continent, they would definitely not be able to stay in Heavenly Treasure State for long. That was why they dared to go against the government. They were able to support them to go against the government and force the government to build a wall. It could be seen that the degree of resistance was very intense.
What exactly caused this kind of confrontation?
At this moment, all the newly arrived people from the Soul Continent were filled with anxiety. Some of them started to doubt whether they had made the right choice to come to the Heavenly Treasure State.
The soldiers quickly came over to drive everyone away from the flying field. After Ye Bufan followed the crowd and left the flying field, he immediately smelled a different kind of air.
There was a faint smell of soil in the air of Soul Continent, but the air here was a little pungent.
This was the power of the unique miasma in Heavenly Treasure State?
Ye Bufan knew that in a city like Linhai, the miasma would become very thin. But now, it seemed like this thin layer was only relative. For those who had just arrived in the Heavenly Treasure State, this kind of air that was mixed with miasma could be clearly felt.
Whether it was the wall that they saw just now, or the soldiers who looked as if they were facing a great enemy, it was also the air that they could clearly smell that made the people who came to Heavenly Treasure State lose their smiles and yearning. What replaced it was uneasiness and confusion about the future.
Whether Heavenly Treasure State was a treasure land or not, would they be able to obtain the wealth they wanted from here? All of this was originally filled with yearning in everyone's heart. But when their feet stepped onto the land of the Heavenly Treasure State... What they saw and felt was completely different from what they had imagined. It instantly made everyone lose their confidence.
Ye Bufan was the same. Although he was here to avoid trouble, it wasn't as if he didn't have any plans to make a name for himself. But now, he realized that the situation didn't seem to be so optimistic.
Being driven away by the soldiers, they left the perimeter of the wall. Someone immediately came to greet everyone.
These people were dressed quite well. They looked like the shopkeepers in the shop.
Only when they opened their mouths did they know that they were specially here to recruit workers.
Most of them were sent by the mines to recruit ordinary people as miners. Of course, if there was a Soul Cultivator to work with, they would be even more welcomed.
However, most of them were hesitating.
Before they came, they had never thought of becoming miners. After all, who wouldn't want to find the mines and make a fortune? Being miners as soon as they came here was not their purpose in coming here.
The people who came from the mines were not in a hurry. They roughly described the treatment of the mines. After leaving behind their contact details, they left one after another. They were very experienced and knew that they had just come to Heavenly Treasure State. No matter how they were doing, they all wanted to find the ore vein and make a fortune. Of course, it was impossible for them to work for them as soon as they arrived.
However, they weren't in a hurry. When these newcomers truly understood the Heavenly Treasure State, after understanding the Linhai, they would naturally make the appropriate choice. It was easier said than done to discover the ore vein! In the end, wasn't he going to sell labor to work in the mine?
Apart from pulling people to work in the mine, the government was also recruiting soldiers, especially when it came to Soul Cultivator.
However, there was still no harvest.
No one wanted to fight with the barbarians for the Soul Cultivator. If they wanted to fight a war, they would have plenty of chances in the Soul Continent.
No matter if it was the armies of other countries, the Demonic Beast, or the devils, why would they come all the way here to fight in such a harsh environment?
Ye Bufan was also invited. He left two contact details, but he threw them away when he turned around.
It was not only because he wanted to make a fortune in his heart, but also because he wanted to join any organization. He might have to stay, and his freedom would be restricted. Under such circumstances, if the people of Qilan came to Heavenly Treasure State to investigate, it would be easy to find out where he was.
Even if they came to Heavenly Treasure State, they wouldn't think that the Qilan wouldn't come and hunt him down. It would only delay them for a period of time, and they would come back sooner or later.
His only hope was to use this period of time to improve his cultivation base, or to improve his overall strength.
Strength didn't just refer to one's cultivation base and combat strength. Being able to borrow the strength of the organization and having a few friends who were willing to die was also a part of one's strength.
Ye Bufan had fought alone for too long before he finally understood this principle.
He did not reject joining some organizations now, but he had to be able to use them.
Whether it was the soldiers or the mines, they clearly did not meet his requirements. He could only put them aside and not choose.
There were many people who did the same, most of them young people.
Everyone came to Heavenly Treasure State to make a fortune, not to work for others. All of them had high spirits.
Especially the few young people who were obviously together. They almost fought with the recruitment staff because they felt that working on the mine was an insult to them. They were prepared to be rich.
Looking at these young men, Ye Bufan suddenly felt that his attitude was quite positive. His mood immediately became much better.
He did not continue to move with the large group. Ye Bufan chose to walk towards the bustling city.
Whether it was going out of the city to search for ore veins or temporarily staying put, he had to find a place to settle down first.
However, when he saw the most prosperous central area of Linhai, he immediately felt uneasy.
This place didn't look like a thriving new city. It didn't even look as prosperous as the county city of Soul Continent.
There were only three main streets in the entire city. There were many merchants on both sides of the streets, but there were very few hawkers walking along the streets. The things they bought were not rich enough.
On the contrary, there were more people in the alleys. Ye Bufan took a look and realized that the people in these alleys were all black market merchants.
They were all selling ores.
There were Soul Stone raw ores and other ores. They were all very small in scale. One look and one could tell that they were secretly sold by miners in the mines.
These were not important. What was important was that Ye Bufan suddenly realized that he could not afford to stay in the inn in Linhai!
He really could not afford to stay. It was too expensive.
The inn in Linhai did not accept gold and silver. All transactions had to be done using Soul Stone. It did not matter if you were an ordinary person or a Soul Cultivator.
Ye Bufan only had the high-grade Soul Stone that he had dug out from the unlucky guy's house. He had spent almost all of it in such a long time.
If he only stayed for one or two nights, it would be fine. However, he had just arrived here.
There was no income and only expenses. Under such circumstances, he naturally couldn't spend as much as he wanted. He didn't need to think about whether he wouldn't be able to eat tomorrow.
It was precisely because of this consideration that Ye Bufan realized how ridiculous it was for the inn to charge a middle-grade Soul Stone for one day.
What should he do!?
Ye Bufan walked around the city a few times, but he still couldn't find a cheap inn. He had no choice but to return to the flying field and look for the people who came with him to see how they solved this problem.
However, when he returned to the flying field, he found that there was no one there anymore. All of them had left.
The key was that there was no one around to ask where those people had gone!
Ye Bufan was confused. He looked around to see a familiar figure, but he did not find anything.
"What the heck, laozi is going to be trapped here!" Ye Bufan spun around in frustration.
Just as he was feeling helpless, a middle-aged man with wrinkles all over his face walked over.
Ye Bufan was feeling vexed and did not have the alertness he should have. He waited until the middle-aged man's hand patted his shoulder before he found him.
Ye Bufan was shocked and jumped more than three meters away. He subconsciously made a defensive posture. "Who are you? What do you want to do?"1
The middle-aged man was also shocked by Ye Bufan. He did not expect Ye Bufan to have such a big reaction.
When he saw that Ye Bufan was scared by him, he smiled shyly. "Young man, I just want to ask you, did you find a place to live? If not, how about we share the rent? "
"What?" Ye Bufan thought there was something wrong with his ears. There was actually an illusion. He was just worrying about not having a place to stay when someone came over and said that they wanted to rent it with him. Was there such a good thing in the world?
"Uncle, you didn't lie to me, did you? You want to share a house with me? Is it true? "
The middle-aged man nodded sincerely. "Young man, I actually noticed you a long time ago. You came here alone, right?"
Seeing Ye Bufan nod his head, the middle-aged man continued, "It is not easy to live alone in Heavenly Treasure State, especially in a place that is hard to find. Living in an inn is too expensive. You are not a member of the gang. You definitely can't stay in the gang. If you don't rent with others, you can only sleep on the street.
This is my second time coming to Heavenly Treasure State, and I still have some connections here. I can rent a courtyard, but we don't have enough money. So, if you want to find a person to share a courtyard with, I can see that you aren't as high and mighty as the other Soul Cultivator by yourself. That's why I came over to ask. I don't know if you're happy or not. "
"I'm happy! I'm so happy!" Ye Bufan agreed immediately.
There was only one middle-aged man in the entire flying field. If he let go of this opportunity, he would really sleep on the street.
Furthermore, Ye Bufan could tell that the middle-aged man was an ordinary man with just a glance. He was not a threat to him, and he was not like the people sent by the families of Qilan. Of course, there was no reason for him to refuse.
He was just a Soul Cultivator, and he didn't even have the courage to rent it together with an ordinary person. That would be too much of a waste.
When the middle-aged man saw Ye Bufan agree to it, he was also very happy. He led Ye Bufan out of the city of Linhai.
"Young man, don't think that the place I rented is outside the city. Actually, it's no different from the city. The air is even better."
Along the way, he explained some common knowledge about the Heavenly Treasure State to Ye Bufan. These things were not something that could be found just by looking at the introduction and listening to the rumors. If one had not lived in the Heavenly Treasure State before, they would not understand these common knowledge at all.
Ye Bufan also listened very seriously. From time to time, he would give a few compliments, which made the middle-aged man say a lot more things.
