The second day after arriving at Guan City.
Under Sheng's lead, Jiang Yu almost toured the entire city.
Most of the transactions here were for magic seeds, materials, and food. Many of the mechanisms and creations required magic nuclei to operate.
For example, the Startling Feather Longbow in Jialuo's hand was forged from the material of a gold-tier flying demon, the Startling Feather Thunder Eagle. It was a treasured weapon passed down from generation to generation in the Jialuo Clan.
Relying on the special Startling Feather Arrow Technique of the Kiara Clan, it could release energy arrows that could penetrate targets 800 meters away.
The more powerful the weapon, the more powerful the magic seed materials needed, and even the embedding of magic nuclei.
However, the magic seed materials traded in the city were basically all Bronze Rank. Even Silver Rank was rare. There was a price but no market.
Food was always the theme song of border trade. Jiang Yu spent all the gold coins that the rich woman Galos used to buy the fur of the demon seed on food. Ten carts of premium fur of the demon seed could only be exchanged for twenty carts of food.
The value of food in this bitter and cold land was far beyond imagination.
The remaining largest transaction made Jiang Yu silent on the spot.
"Come and take a look! They are definitely the best and healthiest slaves. Look at their teeth and limbs. They can be taken away with only five buckets of food or five gold coins!!”
"Don't miss it! They were captives from the Beihuang Region!”
"Come over and take a look. It's the Sheji that's unique to the Western Regions! This appearance and figure were definitely the most popular. This was what every man dreamed of! Only 50 gold! Fifty gold!"
……
The slave market was noisy and noisy. The air was filled with all kinds of foul smells. There were prisoners and slaves who were locked up in wooden cages.
The strong male slaves were tied up by the neck like animals, and their limbs were tied behind their backs. Then, they would pry open their mouths to show the buyers their teeth and tongues to see if their limbs were strong and easy to raise.
After these slaves were bought back, they would only be used as cheap labor. They would eat food like pigs and dogs and work until they died. Even the children of the slaves would also be slaves.
Although they also had a human form, on this mainland, it was obvious that there were differences in status.
The old, weak, and sick slaves were casually thrown into the corner. They were emaciated, dressed in ragged clothes, and their murky and wooden eyes seemed to have no soul. What awaited them was to starve to death and be thrown out to feed dogs, or to be taken back by some stupid buyer.
As for women.
For example, the Western Region Snake Princess in front of him, which was priced at 50 gold coins, had a human-like upper body. Her figure was particularly hot, but the lower half of her body was covered in scales.
It was rumored that some people in the Western Regions had violated the human ban. A strange race that was born from Ji and the Demon Seed. Because the Snake Race woman was exceptionally talented in a certain aspect, she was sought after by the world. Her price was several times higher than a powerful captive.
However, the Sheji in front of him had lost a lot of scales and was covered in blood. Her wounds were even oozing pus, making her look abnormally disgusting. Her numb eyes were no different from a zombie.
"Sheji? This is a rare good thing. Let me see it quickly!”
"Damn it! Sheji, who had been dying, was so disgusting!”
"This piece of trash still needs 50 Gold Coins? Why don't you just die?”
"Liar, get lost!"
……
There were many onlookers, but there were even more people who cursed. The most important thing for these slaves who were similar to men was their figure and beauty. Unfortunately, the one in front of them had nothing to do with them.
The slave trader was extremely embarrassed. He straightened his neck and argued with his face flushed red,"This is Sheji! Normally, Sheji would cost more than 1,000 gold coins. 50 gold coins was not enough to buy her. Although she was a little ugly when she was about to die, she could still have children in the future!!”
The onlookers dispersed.
The cruelty and indifference of human nature had reached its peak here. In the face of all this, Sheng seemed to be used to it. The sale of slaves and prisoners of war at the border had become an open secret. There was even a terrifying history of the Northern Wilderness Country buying a large number of slaves and storing them as food.
Jialuo frowned slightly, bit his lip and didn't say anything. He just wanted to leave quickly.
"Grandpa! Only 50 gold! No, no, no. It's only 40 gold coins. You can take it away with you for 40 gold coins. It's definitely a Sheji with a pure bloodline. I swear, I sneaked into the Western Regions and got it back, sir!”
Seeing that Jiang Yu was still in front of his stall, the slave trader immediately swore earnestly.
"Hey! You bastard, you want to sell a dying slave to my brother? Do you want to die?"
Sheng raised his eyebrows and reached out to beat up the slave trader.
He was the general guarding the border of the Golden Court. A word from him could determine the success or failure of the entire city. It was one thing for this trafficker to deceive outsiders, but he actually dared to scheme against his brother. He was simply blind.
"My, my lord…"
When he saw the Golden Court Army jade pendant hanging from the corner of Sheng's clothes, the slave trader's face turned ashen and his body trembled.
In this city, human life was as thin as paper. Even if the other party killed him on the spot, no one would come out to fight for justice. In this era, there were no laws to speak of. The one who held the military power was labor and capital, or the emperor!
"Count it and get lost!"
A hand patted Cheng's shoulder. Jiang Yu expressionlessly threw a money bag in front of the slave trader. It was 50 gold coins.
Fifty Gold Coins was a small sum of money to him. He would have enough after killing thirty or forty Bronze Demon Seeds. He could also consider selling the skins or something.
"Brother Jiang Yu?"
Cheng and Jialuo looked at Jiang Yu in shock, then at Sheji with her perfect figure. They were dumbfounded.

Sheji is a foreshadowing. Yes, foreshadowing. There will be a solution later.
