Xu Tianyi wanted to see if Xu Zongyi would get angry from embarrassment because of this.

Xu Tianmu didn't say anything as he stood at the side, helping Xu Tiancheng to greet the others.

Since he was hosting a banquet at the Autumn Battlefield Academy, Xu Tianyu naturally had the power to decide who could and couldn't go.

Xu Wancang glanced at him. Xu Zongyi had been quite famous lately, and almost all of the people of the same generation in the Autumn Battlefield Academy had been forcefully suppressed by him. Even Xu Tiancheng had suffered a huge loss.

"Qiu Zhan Yuan, I'm not interested." Xu Zongyi waved his hand, looking completely nonchalant as he said: "I'm going to take a look at the liveliness. You guys can get busy for now."

Xu Zhengdao and Xu Xindie didn't know what to say in front of the guests. They didn't expect Xu Tianyun to do this in such a situation.

"This little bastard still wants to get close to the rich and powerful?" Xu Duan De sneered.

"Why don't you take a look at what you are?" Xu Pinghou had a disdainful look on his face: "He should know that he didn't get the chance to come in, so he pretended not to care. I'm afraid his intestines are going to turn green with regret."

"If I can give him a chance, he probably wants to come here more than anyone else, right? I'm afraid he can learn dog crawling. " Xu Duan De laughed.

Xu Zhengdao was listening on the side and was extremely angry. If it were not for the fact that there were guests, he would have already knocked the two of them out of their minds.

In front of the master's house of the Xu family.

This plaza covered a thousand miles of land. The elites led by the major forces numbered no more than several thousands, with the maximum being around ten thousand.

Normally, this would be the village's own market, and there were many disciples in the village that would exchange for things they needed.

On this day, they were welcoming in outsiders. Both sides of the main road were lined with farmers' and Xu family's stores. If they wanted to exchange, they could exchange it all here.

Both sides of the road were close to the main gate of the Xu family, making it convenient for them to transport food and herbs for sale.

The family's grain depot, or the family depot of the Winter Court.

The requirements to collect grain were very strict. For example, if one were to collect grain from the grain depot or clan depot because of the instability of their realm, they would be evaluated as a purple grain.

However, to these outsiders, the rice grains that had just entered the purple-rank were already extremely good. It could be said that the demand for it was insufficient to meet the demand.

Some people would leave behind a portion of food in exchange for other things that they needed.

It was just after noon.

Before the people of the major powers in the outside world could settle down, some of the stewards had already begun sweeping through the stalls of the Xu family.

The food was selling well.

Qi Drawing, Spirit Condensation, Body Cultivation, Soul Nurturing, and even the food from the Worldly Immortal Stage.

Xu Zongyi squeezed into the crowd. He did not sell it, nor did he buy it. He only watched how others were bargaining. After all, he was not very good at this aspect, and he himself needed to understand it better.

The currency used in the outside world was Tao Bei, Shi Bei, and Yu Bei.

However, to the farmer Xu family, this kind of currency was completely useless.

They only believed that they needed what they needed, and that they needed to barter with each other. Both sides were engaged in a war of words and bargaining.

He wanted to say how precious his own items were, and how rare his own items were ..

The entire main road was filled with ruckus by the farmers' and Xu stores. However, most of them were able to reach an agreement.

Xu Zongyi was still young and he didn't have much on him to begin with, so he couldn't afford to waste anything on him.

If he didn't figure out the price, he would be easily tricked.

Because he was only a child, and not many people cared about him.

Many of the children of the Xu family would come out to watch the show.

Just like this, Xu Zongyi muddled along for three days before finally getting a clear understanding of the overall prices, as well as the situation in the outside world with the village's Xu family.

The outside world was filled with turmoil all year round, and the quality of the grains grown was not as good as the ones grown outside. If the price to produce high-quality grains was too high, it would be better than the Xu family's natural environment.

In the outside world, the initial scarlet grade body strengthening rice here could be considered superior body strengthening rice.

This was because the situation was in turmoil. Regardless of whether it was the imperial family of the Great Zhou, the clan of etiquette, or the various dukes of various lands, they would all be hoarding grain.

It would be the best to use this kind of rice grains, which were used to lay the foundations, to nurture the recruits.

Even if the Xu family owned it, they would have some miscellaneous grains that they did not want. To the major forces, it was practically the same as taking them all at once.

These can be used to fend off displaced refugees in peacetime.

Every year, the major powers would pay a huge price for the Xu family's food purchases.

When the war was not breaking out, they would usually purchase high quality food to nurture their family's children.

No matter what, the Xu family had always been highly sought after by the major powers. Not many people dared to offend them.

The Xu family was at peace with the world and did not participate in worldly strife. Furthermore, they lived far away in the depths of the mountains. There were many dangerous places in the Taihang Mountains.

In addition, the peasant, the Xu, had been in existence for a long time, and their heritage was extremely deep and powerful. As one of the foundations of the human race, who would dare to provoke them?

After a few days of understanding, Xu Zongyi was able to understand the rules of the outside world.

Ordinary commoners would use Tao Bei, Shi Bei, or Yu Bei as their currency.

As far as cultivators were concerned, they naturally did not place too much importance on ordinary money, because no matter how much money there was in the mortal world, they would not be able to buy powerful scriptures, techniques, magic tools and all the other treasures they needed.

What they needed was the Jade Marrow.

Jade essence was the hard currency of the outside world.

The Jade Marrow was formed from heaven and earth, and it was also divided into seven grades, red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, cyan, blue, and purple.

It could be used as a currency, but it could also be used for cultivation. It could be used to rapidly extract the essence of the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth, nourishing one's body and mind.

The grade of the Jade Marrow determined the quality of the world's spirit energy within.

In some of the human kingdoms and dukedoms in the outside world, war and chaos occurred all year round. Most of the cultivators cultivated, so even the spirit energy of heaven and earth was much more complex, if one wanted to speed up their cultivation.

The combination of rice grains and chalcedony was indispensable.

The Jade Marrow was something that could raise one's strength and break through to the next stage in a short period of time.

Aside from training, the Jade Marrow has many other uses. It can be used to set up formations.

If they didn't have a good planting environment, some people would even use the Jade Marrow to set up a formation. This was so that the plants could grow within a good environment and improve their quality. Thus, the cost of planting was extremely high.

For places like the Taihang Mountains, where the world's spiritual Qi was abundant and the rice grains grew, the quality of the grains would naturally be relatively higher. There was basically no need for the Jade Marrow – this was the natural advantage of a good environment.

One catty of Purple Level Body Strengthening Rice could be exchanged for one catty of Red Grade Jade Marrow. To be exact, in the eyes of the village's Xu family, one catty of Purple Level Body Strengthening Rice could be exchanged for one catty of Red Grade Jade Marrow.

Xu Zongyi had investigated a few times and found out that this was a fair price to pay.

Similarly, most of these grains could only be consumed by the heirs of the major powers.

According to Xu Zongyi's own estimation, if he sold them in the Scripture Hall, he would be able to exchange them for at least three kilograms of Purple grade Body Strengthening Rice, or even five kilograms of it. This would depend on who he sold it to.

In the village's Xu family's shop, the purple-rank items sold to the foreign forces were just barely qualified and could be considered purple-rank. But even so, the supply was still unable to meet the demand, and they would all be cleaned out soon.

Many realms and grades of grain would be constantly delivered into the main house.

"I can try it tomorrow." Xu Zongyi knew that he did not have much capital, so he could only scout out the situation ahead of time.

Those with great advantages like Xu Tianchang were the son of the clan leader. On the first day, they received the children of influential and powerful people from outside powers and hosted a banquet at the academy.

Even if it was Xu Xindie, Xu Zhengdao would still have to go through the motions.

Firstly, he needed to understand the current situation in the outside world, and secondly, he needed to compare strength with others.

In these past few days, it was quite bustling in the Autumn Battlefield.

Many disciples had exchanged for many things, but no one had invited Xu Zongyi, making it impossible for him to attend, so he didn't mind.

The Celestial Food Plaza was for those who did not have too much of a background.

On the fourth day, Xu Zongyi no longer wandered around the village market run by the Xu family. As long as he could find out the basic price, things would be easy to handle later on.

Previously, he had been wandering around to see if there was any good price. This way, he would be able to do his own business. Otherwise, he would only be fooled.

The outside powers were very complicated.

However, in the Heavenly Food Plaza, each of them was given their own seat, which was unsurpassable.

Many foreign powers had to abide by the rules of the Xu family.

No bloodshed or sacrifice was allowed, or they would be expelled. No assassinations, looting, or sabotage could be carried out between them.

There were many experts from the Xu Courtyard overseeing this food square. Even if the foreign forces were not very harmonious with each other, they still had to abide by it in a peaceful manner.

Many of the members of the Xu family would go to the regions where the other forces were located to exchange for items that they needed.

Most of them were already experienced, and there were even some who were extremely familiar with each other. For a seven year old child like Xu Zongyi, there weren't many like him.

The words' sin 'on his face were especially obvious.

However, he was wearing the uniform of the Scripture Hall, which couldn't be faked.

After doing business with the Xu family for so long, some of the elders were naturally able to recognize them.

Xu Zongyi did not arrive at the western plaza where the Great Zhou Empire was located, but instead, he directly entered the eastern plaza where the travelling merchants were located.

There were not many traveling merchants. To be able to come here, most of them had deep ties with the Xu family. Furthermore, they had lived for a very long time.

Right now, they were all united with each other.

Otherwise, they wouldn't be able to fight against these great powers. If they weren't careful, they would be swallowed up.

A lot of travelling merchants started coming out of the village a few years ago. As long as they left the village, they would disappear without a trace soon after.

They all knew full well that it was surely the work of the dukes of various lands, and that there was even the possibility of them being the dukes of various lands.

Currently, the internal affairs of the Great Zhou Empire were in chaos. The various dukes and dukes had their own ulterior motives, and their control over them was growing weaker and weaker, not to mention seeking justice from these powers.

Thus, in the land ruled by the Great Zhou Empire, those famous families and families all had their own thoughts, walking extremely close to the travelling merchants to prevent themselves from being swallowed.
