Chapter 87: Gu Yue Fang Yuan

However, what happened next shocked everyone!
Under the leadership of Shang Xin Ci, the merchant group set off directly. The monkeys voluntarily made way, and they actually left directly!
What's going on?
Others may not know, but Shang Xin Ci is very clear that it must be Zhou Tian's method!
Feeling the strong pressure from Zhou Tian, the Monkey King has never experienced such a powerful aura before.
"Let them go, the rest can stay." Zhou Tian transmitted to Monkey King.
Naturally, Monkey King did not dare to disobey Zhou Tian's orders. Animals are more disciplined than humans. Unless they have particularly strong bloodthirstiness, when faced with stronger predators, they will choose to submit.
In this world, people can control beasts, and the strongest can single-handedly command millions of fierce beasts.
Time passed slowly, and the next day at noon, the caravan arrived at the next destination, Golden Mountain.
On Huangjin Mountain, there are abundant open-pit gold mines. The soil on the mountain is filled with rich gold deposits, and even scooping up a handful of mud and sand from the mountain stream, after sieving, can yield dozens of gold nuggets.
In the daytime, the sunlight spills over the Golden Mountain, often reflecting a hazy golden halo. The halo envelops the entire mountain range, creating a magnificent spectacle.
If this Golden Mountain were placed on Earth, it would undoubtedly cause fierce battles and wars for its possession. However, in this world, elemental stones are the currency, and gold can only be reduced to a type of mineral, primarily used as a supplementary material for alchemy.
On the Golden Mountain, there are two clans.
On the sunny side of the mountain is the Huang Clan Village. On the shady side of the mountain is the Jin Clan Village.
These two clans are not harmonious and are in a hostile relationship.
The arrival of the merchant caravan naturally drew welcome from both families. However, a joint notification had also been sent - the merchant caravan could only choose one village. Choosing Huang's Village meant they couldn't enter Jin's Village and vice versa.
The merchant caravan has a large number of people and many miscellaneous matters, with high mobility. Previously, both parties have been engaged in sneaky attacks against each other with the help of the merchant caravan, leaving a mark of infamy. Therefore, corresponding strict orders were issued.
There is a disagreement among the leaders of the merchant caravan on which stronghold to go to.
After discussing their respective needs, the mixed caravan split into two and each group entered a different mountain stronghold.
Of course, they couldn't enter the strongholds, so the majority of the troops could only camp temporarily around the strongholds.
Shawn Tian practices every day and doesn't like to communicate with the outside world. Although Shang Xin Ci often finds Shawn Tian to hang out, there is still a big difference between men and women. Most of the time, she is with Xiaodie to handle some outside matters.
Shang Xin Ci can cultivate now and her strength is currently at the Qi Refining stage. However, her progress is slow, much worse than Zhou Tian's.
It can be said that Shang Xin Ci is the worst disciple that Zhou Tian has recruited.
On this day,
Shang Xinci came to find Zhou Tian again, with an excited look, said to Zhou Tian.
"Master, it's been a long time since you accompanied me to play, let's go out and take a walk."
Shang Xinci came to Zhou Tian's side and immediately said.
After Shi Xinxi finished speaking, Zhou Tian slowly opened his eyes.
"Hmm, I guess that's fine."
"Thank you, Master!"
Then, Shi Xinxi grabbed Zhou Tian's arm and walked towards the market.
"Come and have a look, authentic Shen Jia silk!"
"Various wines, welcome everyone to taste."
"Qi Jin Guang Gu, only fifty yuan stones!"
……
The call of vendors echoed one after another, and the crowd surged. In this makeshift market, there was a lively and bustling scene.
Whenever a merchant caravan arrives, the mountain stronghold is like a festive scene.
Not only do the caravans sell goods, but also people from the Golden Family Village come to peddle their wares.
The most common items are a large number of golden sculptures or utensils.
Cooking utensils such as pots, bowls, ladles, and basins, as well as statues of people and animals, are exquisitely carved with intricate details that are lifelike. When combined with gemstones in red, green, yellow, and blue, or pearls, they become even more splendid and delicate.
On Huangjin Mountain, gold is almost everywhere due to its unique geographical advantages.
Even the lowest class of people living here, such as slaves without clothes, wear some gold rings, gold necklaces, and so on.
Many girls wear shiny hairpins, earrings, and bracelets, which are decorated with gold and exquisite designs. They gather in small groups, chatting and singing sweetly, creating a charming atmosphere.
As for the Gu family's Gu Masters, their attire is generally similar to that of Qingmao Mountain. They wear short shirts and long pants, with a waistband and leg wraps. On their feet, they wear green bamboo straw shoes.
Some people's leg bindings are tied with hemp rope mixed with gold threads. While some belts, cuffs of clothes or trouser legs are trimmed with golden edges. It can be considered a characteristic of the Huangjin Mountain.
In the Southern Regions, the attire of Gu Masters from different families is mostly the same. However, when it comes to demonic cultivators, they wear all sorts of peculiar and extravagant outfits.
Walking along the streets and exploring alleys, Shang Xin Ci dragged Zhou Tian to buy many small accessories.
Being with the person you love, time always flies and it's already dusk.
When Sunday was about to find a place to eat with Shang Xin Ci, they unexpectedly ran into someone.
This person has scars on his face from burns, although his face is covered, you can still vaguely see his only remaining ear. He is wearing a coarse hemp robe.
"Gu Yue Fang Yuan!"
Fang Yuan is looking at Gu worms at a stall. Bai Ning Bing is not here, and Zhou Tian is unable to predict their situation.
Now Fang Yuan can be said to be innocent, without climbing the high branch of Shang Xin Ci, his future development will definitely be very limited.
Maybe he has better options, but it doesn't matter to Zhou Tian.
"Master, it's him." Shang Xin Ci naturally recognized Fang Yuan and slowly spoke.
"Hmm, let's go take a look."
"Gu Yue Fang Yuan? Long time no see!"
"Even though I exposed some of my abilities when I last got close to them, it won't affect my next step in the plan."
"You..." Fang Yuan glanced at Zhou Tian, smiled, and didn't say much.
Then he left the stall, leaving Zhou Tian and Shang Xinchi behind.
He was missing an ear and his face was covered in burn scars, making his smile somewhat terrifying.
But Zhou Tian was looking into his eyes and found a certain confidence, decisiveness, and brilliance of strategic planning. This brilliance, on the contrary, revealed a unique charm from the ugliness.
"Master, he looks bad." Shang Xin Ci said again in a charming voice, which sounded so enjoyable.
"Bad? But you wanted to buy something from him last time, didn't you?"
Zhou Tian asked with a frown.
"Okay, I won't do it next time."
Compared to the previous Baijia Village, Huangjinshan is more prosperous but not suitable for trading.
So the plan of the merchant group is to leave the day after tomorrow morning.
Actually, Zhou Tian is a bit confused about Fang Yuan's current actions.
From the earliest contact with Shang Xin Ci to now, he seems to have done very little and has become less and less noticeable.
方源重生，应该是从白骨山后面，或许就在之前，但不论怎么样，方源都重生了。
对于以后周天做的事情，了如指掌。
Zhou Tian can't act rashly, maybe Fang Yuan knows Zhou Tian's thoughts.
But...
