The Xuanhuang continent is divided into nine continents, and each continent is extremely vast and densely populated. Among them, the barren continent has become unrecognizable because of the broken dragon veins and the heavy loss of heaven and earth vitality, and has become an abandoned continent. For hundreds of years, thousands of people have migrated like they fled famine.

Hence the name of the deserted island.

But no matter what, there are still many people who stay in the country, especially ordinary people, thus forming large and small towns.

Taicheng is the largest city in the Wasteland region. The city has a long history, standing on the great plain for thousands of years, I don't know how many winds and frosts, the city wall made of solid bluestone is covered with the vicissitudes of the years, silently telling the world the story of the changes.

There was no kingdom in the wasteland, or there used to be, but then they were all destroyed one by one, and then later, they were directly ruled by the major martial arts sects and governed by divisions.

For the secular mortal world, the sect has a special person in charge of management, but that is almost under the category of another system, so I won't go into details.

As the largest city in the Wasteland, Taicheng does not have a clear owner, but is occupied by all forces, which is quite chaotic. It is precisely because of this that on the surface, a delicate balance can be maintained, and small fights are not uncommon, but there are almost no major wars.

No one is a fool if they are not sure enough, and no one will make a big move lightly.

The resources of the wasteland are very limited, and any war will make it worse. A protracted war. The sky is full of desolation, even if you get the entire wasteland, it doesn't mean much.

This year's Wasteland Sect Competition is regarded as a turning point, and if the Zhongnan Sword Mansion is unable to reverse the downward trend, it will be pushed down by the wall, and it will be removed from the Wasteland.

In the eyes of emerging sects such as the Tiandu Sect and the Blood Sword Society, this is the best time to destroy the Zhongnan Sword Mansion. They had been waiting for this opportunity for many years, how could they let it go? As long as they destroyed the Sword Mansion, they would be able to get a piece of the pie. Reap the benefits of good returns.

It was under this situation that the wolves were looking around, and the Moyun Goshawk that everyone in the Sword Mansion was riding landed in Taicheng.

A huge goshawk descended from the sky, as if descending on a mountain, and the momentum was awe-inspiring. The warriors in the city looked up from afar and saw it. Everyone felt a pang in their hearts: Sure enough, the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, even if the Zhongnan Sword Mansion has been in decline for many years, it still has a strong deterrent power after a thousand years.

When the destination arrived, the disciples walked out under the leadership of the elders. Many of them were coming to Taicheng for the first time, and they looked around with a fresh feeling.

The area where the Moyun Goshawk landed belonged to the Sword Mansion's own place in Taicheng. It has a garrison mansion and operates an industry at the same time, delivering various resources to the Sword Mansion.

The disciple in charge of the foundation of Taicheng is surnamed Peng, and his name is "Fire Tree". He is just fifty years old this year, and he is a martial arts master of the second stage of the Qi Dao.

The situation in Taicheng is extremely complicated, and without an airway master, it can't suppress the scene at all.

Peng Huoshu was notified early. After waiting for a long time with his men, he saw everyone coming. Immediately come forward to salute.

Xiao Jihai waved his hand, indicating that there was no need to be polite.

Peng Huoshu said respectfully: "Elder Xiao, the guest room has already been prepared, you have worked hard all the way, please go in and rest, and soon set up a banquet to eat, and pick up the wind and wash the dust for everyone." ”

"Good. ”

Xiao Jihai didn't say much, and began to command the disciples to move in. As for the Moyun Goshawk, there is a special person to serve it, serving its favorite piece of pine snow rabbit meat, etc., one bite at a time, and the wind is whirling.

Peng Huoshu's arrangement is very decent, the three elders have independent courtyards, and the sixteen accompanying disciples also have separate wings to live in, which is elegantly furnished, and there are maids to serve, on call, extremely intimate.

Find your own place to live, familiarize yourself with your surroundings, and all that's left is to wait for dinner.

The first time the three elders talked to Peng Huoshu to understand the current changes in the situation in Taicheng and the operation of the foundation.

Soon they knew that earlier today, representatives of the Tiandumen, the Blood Knife Society, and the Jinsha Gang had all arrived in Taicheng in turn, which could be called a gathering of wind and clouds.

Calculating the time, there are only about five days left before the start of the competition, which is very urgent. As the superiors, they had to go over to discuss a series of issues with the elder representatives of other sects later, such as the competition system and the method of drawing lots.

The Wasteland Sect Competition is held every three years, but it does not mean that the competition system is the same every time. With the situation, as well as the changes in the strength of the major sects, there are often changes. And these changes represent the tilt of advantages. Therefore, the establishment of the competition system is equivalent to a kind of wrestling competition between the major sects before the main competition.

There is no doubt that at that time, the giants of various sects will gather to discuss, and there will definitely be a battle between the open and the dark. It is impossible to fight, but a fierce quarrel is necessary.

The elders had a lot of headaches, but the disciples couldn't help. At that level, the level of struggle is not something they can meddle into, just do a good job.

Some disciples had already privately agreed that they would take time to go to the Tianbao Trading House in Taicheng to see if there were any suitable things to buy, such as pill swords and the like.

Tianbao Trading House has a strong reputation, and it is a large trading house with branches all over the mainland, and its wealth is extremely powerful. The forces behind it are even more incomparable, and it is said to be a huge force that can be compared to the Eternal God Cult, the Divine Power Sect, and the Dragon City.

In its trading house, from high-end equipment to rare medicinal herbs and pills, there is a wide range of everything. Auction events are held from time to time to auction a variety of precious treasures. Many people say that if you can't buy something in Tempo Firm, it's impossible to buy it anywhere else.

This is evident from this.

In the wasteland, a huge area, but Tianbao Commercial Bank only opened a branch, and it opened in Taicheng.

With the rare opportunity to come to this city, the disciples naturally wanted to see the horizon and buy some things that they had long-cherished but could not obtain from other means.

The barren continent has withered for a long time. Many alchemy herbs and refining materials are becoming scarce and rare. Although Zhongnan City, which is under the jurisdiction of the Sword Mansion, is not a small city, the things sold in it really can't keep up with the times, and many of them can't be bought.

As for the adventure experience in the dangerous Ali Mountains, good things are even more difficult to obtain, and the slightest carelessness can also be life-threatening.

"Qiu Feng, go to Tianbao Trading House in the evening, let's go together. ”

Zhang Jiangshan came to Liang Qiufeng's room and spoke.

After settling down, Liang Qiufeng was still thinking about the idea of the gong in his mind, and he seemed a little absent-minded, and replied casually: "Okay." ”

He also wanted to take a look at the legendary Tianbao Trading House and have a long insight.

Zhang Jiangshan said with a smile, patted his waist, and lifted the hem of his clothes, revealing more than a dozen spiritual rice bags hanging inside: "Look, I brought tens of thousands of catties of spiritual rice, just to fight hard." ”

For this trip, he carried 10,000 catties of spiritual rice, in addition to his personal savings, the family also contributed to it, and there was only this amount in total. He didn't have a mystery-level spiritual rice bag, so he used more than ten secret weapon spiritual rice bags to pack and carry with him. It looks like a bit of an upstart.

Liang Qiufeng touched his nose: "Awesome...... I'm not as rich as you, so I'm just going to check it out. ”

Compared with Zhang Jiangshan, his current net worth is really poor, and there is no surplus food at all. However, the spiritual rice bag with a mysterious weapon on his waist can support the scene, and as for the weight inside, if it is known, I am afraid that it will be sneered.

Zhang Jiangshan patted him on the shoulder: "It's okay, if you like something, if the spirit rice is not enough, just speak." ”

"Squeak!"

Perhaps he felt that the fat man was too showy, and the little man who came to lie on the side to rest suddenly jumped up, opened his mouth and squeaked, and waved his little arms, looking very unhappy.

When Zhang Jiangshan saw it, he smiled dumbly: "Qiu Feng, I didn't say you, why did you bring such a little monkey to Taicheng, just naughty and mischievous." ”

"Squeak!"

This time the little one was really angry, and he couldn't bear to be despised by the fat man, and swished, jumped up violently, and pounced on him.

"Oops, the little guy still dares to go crazy!"

Liang Qiufeng shouted, "Sample!"

He shouted in time, Xiao Yan didn't really attack Zhang Jiangshan, he twisted his body, changed direction flexibly, and landed on the wooden table on the right side.

For Liang Qiufeng, the little guy is still very obedient.

Zhang Jiangshan, who came to set up a defensive posture, was stunned and said, "Qiu Feng, I'll call you later." "Go out and go.

For the rudeness of the little monkey, he naturally didn't take it to heart. Such a pocket monkey, only half a foot high, the size of a fist, grabbed it with one hand, pinched it and died. I really don't understand Senior Brother Liang, others raise spiritual pets, the base is to increase combat power, what is he doing with raising a little monkey? Hey, I don't understand.

However, Liang Qiufeng's behavior has always been a bit strange and deified, and it is nothing more.

After Zhang Jiangshan left, he jumped in front of Liang Qiufeng, standing, his two arms kept gesturing, as if he was dissatisfied with Liang Qiufeng's stop just now, he wanted to teach the fat man a good lesson.

This guy is becoming more and more humane, and sometimes Liang Qiufeng has the illusion that he has become a spirit and a monster. In every way, it's too weird. This kind of intelligence is actually what idle beasts can have?

In comparison, the fifth- and sixth-order demon beasts may not be so civilized.

Reaching out and rubbing the cluster of eye-catching golden retrievers on the little guy's forehead, he smiled, and didn't say anything. Since the last time I ate a large number of black locusts and had a full meal, the sample has undergone a metamorphosis. In addition to a pair of small ears, the black and shiny hairs all over the body also appeared, growing golden hairs, messy and a little strange, like changing hairs. And the tuft of hair on its forehead has become more vivid, bright as gold, and the luster is dazzling.

Liang Qiufeng thought, if the sample really evolved, would all the fur on his body turn golden in the future, and thus become a pocket golden snub-nosed monkey?

This question is worth exploring.
