Xue Chen broke through the Qi Training Realm and entered the Innate Realm. His physical fitness increased by five points, but it was still the weakest of the three attributes. He is gifted with extraordinary willpower, and he doesn't need to worry about his SS+ strength. Now that the [Skyfire Body Refining Pill] is taking effect, his physical fitness will improve at the fastest speed. It is conceivable that his strength will improve at a terrifying level.

"You are too hardworking! Practice more strength in the future, and activate the [Skyfire Body Refining Pill] after your body is fully adapted. You are only 19 years old this year, and your realm has improved very quickly. Try to use less in the future!" Hua Kai looked at Xue Chen's appearance, and said to him before his body recovered.

"Master, I know! Now I have some ability to protect our base. Last year, the Ujumchin tribe sent 20,000 horses and 15,000 slaves to the Ordos tribe base. In addition to our harvest in the Xiongnu country in one year, our caravan is still not easy this year." Xue Chen said.

"This year, the Hua family merchant group doesn't need to drive cattle and sheep anymore. It's much easier than last year's business year. Our merchant group still has Xiantian Realm to lead the team this year. You stay in the Ordos tribe for another year. There may be many caravans entering Baoyuguan this year. We have already controlled Beishan. The threat of Donghu to the caravan has been greatly reduced. You may be able to come back next year!" Hua Kai said.

This year, the Hua family merchant group doesn't need to drive so much. The snowstorm on the grassland has just passed. The number of cattle and sheep in all tribes has greatly decreased. It is not suitable to bring cattle and sheep this year. Therefore, it is only necessary to drive back and forth before the end of July. This year, the Hua family merchant group can train slaves in the Ordos tribe for two more months, so that they can ride back faster.

Two days after Xue Chen was promoted to Xiantian, Erzhuang also successfully promoted to Xiantian. Erzhuang only has A-level qualifications. This time he was promoted to Xiantian Realm Level 2, and his physical fitness reached 56 points. It will be more and more difficult for him to improve his realm in the future. Hua Kai couldn't help but think about how to find some heavenly and earthly treasures that can increase qualifications.

The spiritual treasures of heaven and earth that can increase qualifications are extremely precious to any family. Their first choice is to give them to the best young people in the family, and rarely choose to sell them.

Even if they don't use them themselves, they will offer them to the clan master's family to seek benefits, so to buy spiritual treasures that increase qualifications, it is not enough to have money.

Hua Kai had contacted the Sihai Chamber of Commerce for a long time and asked them to pay attention to whether there were any spiritual treasures that increased qualifications. As a result, there was still no news after so many years. Hua Kai felt that he should change the way to obtain spiritual treasures.

Time quickly entered mid-March. Gaoliu City was still in the construction stage this year. Many people started a year of busyness. Many families have prepared everything for this year's business. Several families decided to send this year's cargo list to the Jia family. After the Jia family looked at the goods they brought and the destination, they issued a [Road Pass], and these small business groups set off.

This year, Beishan has been occupied by Gaoliu County, and there is no threat outside the Baoyu Pass, so Gaoliu City is not strict in reviewing business this year. This year, there are more business teams in Gaoliu City than last year.

In the morning, a team of carriages staggered from the south of Gaoliu City. There were about a few hundred people, and it looked like a small caravan. They walked to the gate of Gaoliu County and surrounded it but did not enter the city. At this time, a team of guards on the city wall came out of the city gate and walked towards them.

"What are you doing? Why are you outside the city instead of going in?" The captain looked at the other party with a vigilant face.

"Sirs! We are a small caravan. We heard that we can go to Baoyuguan this year. We came here to try our luck. A little silver is not a respect. Please accept it." The head of the caravan was already in the Qi training realm. He took out a piece of silver, about 2 taels, and handed it to the captain of the guard with a smile.

"We have a rule in the Xuanwu Corps that we cannot take anyone's things at will. Do you want me to be expelled from the corps?" The captain looked to be in his thirties and looked like a grassland man.

"This... Sir, Gaoliu City still has this rule. It looks much more prosperous than before!" The head of the caravan said carefully.

"Of course not? It doesn't matter who owns Gaoliu County. Our Hua family treats the common people the best and never bullies passing caravans. You can go into the city and take a look. If you have something to sell, no one will come to buy it at the door!"

When the captain heard the other party talking about Gaoliu City, his face was full of pride. Who can see the changes in Gaoliu City in recent years? It changes every month.

"Are you still from the Hua family? I'm so disrespectful..."

The guard captain blushed as the person in charge said: "I used to be a servant in the Hua family for three years!"

"Uh!... Being a servant is not bad! These military masters, we are all small families. This year, we heard that Baoyuguan could leave, so we raised money to buy some goods. We don't have much money and can't enter the city!" The person in charge of the guard city captain was also kind, so he couldn't help but say.

"So you didn't come in because you were afraid of the city fee! We don't charge a city fee in Gaoliu City. If you go east after entering the city, you will see a big market, which is dedicated to all passing caravans.

You can ask about the prices of goods in various places in the grassland recently, and you can also sell your goods there. The accommodation and meals in the big market are very cheap, you can go in and take a look." The captain suggested.

The head of the caravan hesitated when he heard this. He had to be careful when doing business outside. It stands to reason that Gaoliu County belongs to the interior of the country, and ordinary cities will not be dangerous. However, seeing that the captain looked like a grassland ethnic group, he looked back at the other caravan leaders behind him.

"Let's go in and take a look! So many people are coming in and out!" said a caravan leader.

"Anyway, there is no city fee, let's go in and take a look..."

The person in charge saw the huge Gaoliu City in the distance, which looked like a civilized Central Plains city, and then his worries were reduced a lot.

The captain guarding the city saw that the caravan members looked at him with vigilance, and went back to the city angrily.

"You wait outside first, I'll go in and see, if there's no problem, we'll take the caravan in." After the Qi training realm said this, everyone else nodded.

The moment he entered Gaoliu City, the head of the caravan was stunned by the scene in front of him. There were rows of busy streets in front of him, because Hua Kai put all the ordinary shops in the outer city, and the prosperity of the outer city was no less than that of the big cities in the Central Plains.

The clear signs on the roadside showed how to go to the market, where to go to the mule and horse market, where to go to the slave trade, and the direction of the inner city.

The head of the caravan entered the commercial area and saw that there were snack stalls everywhere. He walked further in and arrived at the food city. Looking at the pedestrians coming and going here, the head thought he had arrived in Jicheng.

"Mutton offal soup... mutton offal soup, four bone coins a bowl!"

"Jiangbing! Delicious Jiangbing!"

The streets were full of hawking, and the sound of storytellers telling stories came from some teahouses, and there was a burst of lively cheers when they told good stories.

After walking for more than an hour, the head of the caravan still hadn't finished walking halfway around the outer city of Gaoliu. He remembered that the caravan outside the city was still waiting for him, so he left Gaoliu and returned to his caravan.

"Why did you come back so late? Did anyone in the city make things difficult for you?" Seeing the head of the caravan coming back, someone hurriedly asked.

"This Gaoliu City is really strange. I've been here before. This city is now full of wooden buildings, and it's very lively inside!" said the head of the caravan.

"That's even better! Let's go in and take a look... By the way, have you seen the big market in Gaoliu City? Does it accept everything? Is there any profit in sending our goods here?" asked a caravan leader.

"This... I just watched their food festival and didn't have time to go to the big market!" The head of the caravan blushed.

"Let's go. We've been waiting for so long and no one in the city has brought food out to sell. The people in this city must be rich. We'll know everything when we get to the city." Someone said impatiently.

The merchant group began to organize carriages and slowly drove towards Gaoliu City. When they arrived at the gate, a guard guided them to take the carriage road. They entered Gaoliu City and were stopped by a team of inspection guards.

"Didn't you say that there is no entrance fee? What are you going to do?" A merchant hurriedly stepped forward and asked when he saw the guards about to take action.

"We don't have to pay the entrance fee in Gaoliu City, but not everything can enter. The Hua family stipulates that all books entering the grassland must be strictly inspected. It is not allowed to send Central Plains slaves to the grassland, and it is not allowed to send magic weapons above the sixth grade to the grassland." The team leader said to them.

"Is our merchant group the kind of merchant group that can afford books and magic weapons? You can check... but you have to be gentle!" A merchant stepped forward and said.

The inspection was over quickly. This merchant group only brought some food, linen, coarse cloth, coarse salt, low-grade weapons, etc., and there was nothing of good quality.

After entering Gaoliu City, more than 20 carts of the merchant group followed the road signs to the big market. This was a large open space in the past. Many caravans had gathered here, and the scene looked very lively.

"Are there any grains for sale? One stone costs 780 bone coins!" A young man hurried forward and asked when he saw them coming.

A young man in the merchant group's eyes moved when he heard this. The grains they bought were all bought for 300 bone coins, and they could make a lot of money here. A porter next to him pushed him when he saw this. He couldn't let people see through him easily when he was doing business outside.

"Do you have linen? I'll take as much as you can at 16 silver per piece!"

"Gaoliu City Stories, both in Xiongnu and Hu languages, are very popular in the grasslands, and a set only costs 1 gold and 15 silver!"

"Gaoliu City Fine Wine, the cheapest one catty only costs 15 bone coins, and at least one jar contains 50 catties!"
