Chapter 62: The Imperial Capital
"Huh?" Shi Xiao said as he looked back at Lan Yun.
"I'll just ask... When are you leaving..."Lan Yun saw Shi Xiao's gaze like this, and she also looked to the side, and her face was flushed.
"For the time being, I shouldn't be able to leave, I have to cultivate hard in this place!" Shi Xiao replied.
"Oh," Lan Yun replied, seemingly relieved.
Shi Xiao didn't say anything else, after all, he was not familiar with the people in the Lingyuan Continent, and finally had a chance to get a place to live, although it was a little smaller, but it could be regarded as a place to stay. Therefore, during this time, Shi Xiao planned to have a good understanding of this Spirit Source Continent so that he could take action in the future.
Shi Xiao said a few words and asked Lan Xi to take good care of his sister, and went to Dunyang City to inquire about the news of the Lingyuan Continent, and by the way, to see what this Dunyang City looked like.
The aura was released, and the acceleration of the instantaneous spirit step directly shortened the time to Dunyang City. Shi Xiao knew that if he wanted to know the news of this Spirit Source Continent, he had to go to the teahouse or tavern and listen to those people in soldiers' clothes. With a goal, Shi Xiao entered the city and looked for some places.
"This city is too big, isn't it..."Shi Xiao touched the sweat on his head and said, he had been looking for a whole morning, and he had been wandering around the commercial market and housing, it stands to reason that there should be some teahouses and taverns in this commercial market, but I didn't expect Shi Xiao to be looking for a morning.
Looking at the discolored slate that had been scorched by the sun, Shi Xiao sighed heavily, the people who came out to sell things on a hot day were also very rare, and they wanted to buy something to quench their thirst but couldn't find it.
"I should have brought Lanxi here..."Shi Xiao said regretfully, turning towards the place where he had been and preparing to go back.
"This guest officer, didn't you come to our store last night to change the shield gold?" a figure stood at the door and said, Shi Xiao looked fixedly, it turned out to be last night's Jinzhuang, and the person who spoke was also the eight-character bearded shopkeeper of the Jinzhuang.
"It's such a coincidence, I don't know if I can quench my thirst with some water..."Shi Xiao said.
"Please, please!" the mustache greeted Shi Xiao politely, it seemed that he had made a lot of money from last night's transaction, otherwise he would not have been so courteous to Shi Xiao.
"Thank you..."Shi Xiao said as he wiped his sweat.
Entering the door, suddenly a cool air hit the surface, Shi Xiao looked towards the crystal, the cool air was emitted from this crystal, I didn't expect that this crystal also had the effect of relieving the heat, Shi Xiao couldn't help but pay attention to it a few times.
"Guest officer, come and invite!" Bazihu brought a pot of water to Shi Xiao, and Shi Xiao also drank it unceremoniously.
"Whew, refresh!" Shi Xiao exhaled heavily, and then handed the kettle to the eight-character nonsense Seeing him looking at himself with smiling eyes, he suddenly asked uncomfortably: "If there is anything, you just say it..."
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I haven't introduced myself yet, my surname is Li, you're the boss of this gold village, do you still have those gold coins from last time?" Li Gui rubbed his hands and smiled at Shi Xiao.
"It seems that you have made a lot of money!huh?" Shi Xiao said.
"Haha, you're joking, it's just a small profit, if you can cooperate with our store for a long time, I will exchange eighteen shields for one gold for you... What do you think?" said Li Gui with a smile.
"Aren't there any other discounts?" Shi Xiao raised his eyebrows. Shi Xiao saw that the shopkeeper said such a thing, it must have been a lot of money from this gold coin, and there is no middleman charging fees for gold coins at all, it is directly for money, who doesn't like to do this kind of business.
"In this way, if you can cooperate with our store for a long time, our store will reduce the price of all stores under your name, as long as you buy things, by 20%... You see... How is it?" Li Gui suddenly said solemnly.
"Yo, do you have other stores under the name of this little shop?" Shi Xiao asked, he didn't expect that there were other stores under the name of this kind of gold village.
"Guest officer, you underestimate our store, the name of this store runs through the entire Dunyang City's major commercial market stores, if it weren't for the fact that this Dunyang City is expensive, our store will definitely put all the stores in Dunyang City together..."Li Gui said.
"That's okay..."Shi Xiao also muttered in his heart when he heard what Li Gui said: It seems that this Li Gui is not simple, this small golden village has such a huge business power in such a wealthy Dunyang City, if he has such a connection, he can also go away in Dunyang City now.
"I don't know what your last name is, guest officer?" asked Li Gui, rubbing his hands with joy on his face.
"Xiao Yu!" Shi Xiao replied.
"Brother Xiao, good name!haha! Come, please!" Li Gui smiled, raised the tea bowl in his hand and said to Shi Xiao: "Happy cooperation!" Shi Xiao also dealt with it casually, and then Shi Xiao and Li Gui chatted.
After resting, I continued to walk around Dunyang City, and listened to Li Gui say that it would take half a day to walk around the commercial area of Dunyang City.
Shi Xiao also sighed in his heart that this Dunyang City was big, but he didn't expect that the size difference between each city in this continent and the Domain Boundary Continent was so big, and I heard Li Gui say that this Dunyang City has an army and academies and other places. Only then did Shi Xiao understand that this Dunyang City was similar to an empire over there.
Finally finished shopping around the market, and the sky gradually darkened, Shi Xiao went to the place where food was sold to buy some food, and then left this Dunyang City and ran towards his residence.
In this way, it took Shi Xiao more than ten days to complete all the visits to Dunyang City. Affluence is affluence, a city on this continent is as big as a country, the whole city is surrounded by huge walls, and the northernmost place is the place where the lord and the leadership of this city stay, and this place is next to the military area.
To the west is the commercial market, next to the commercial market is the residential area, and then the residential area is the cultivation area. The whole city is very large, and the western commercial area is not far from Li Shixiao's residence.
Shi Xiao was also attracted by the scene of this cultivation area during his wandering around for a while, and held competitions every three or five days, and Shi Xiao calculated that there were more than ten competitions in ten days. Shi Xiao also understood why the cultivators in this city were stronger than his own, and people relied on this competition to enhance the strength of the cultivators.
Shi Xiao also lived a very comfortable time in this continent, helping the Lan Yun sisters and brothers expand their small pitiful house during the day, and absorbing spiritual energy to cultivate at night.
In such an environment, Shi Xiao's strength is also improving by leaps and bounds, so did Que also come out to point out how Shi Xiao cultivated, but every time he would be ridiculed back by Yuanyuan, saying that Que's cultivation skills were taught by Yuanyuan, and now he still wants to teach his apprentices.
"Brother Xiao, why don't you go to the cultivation area to sign up for cultivation when you are so strong, when the time comes, you will be taken by that general, and you won't have to worry about food and clothing in the future!" Lan Xi asked with something in his mouth, and in a few days, Lan Xi and Lan Yun's complexion and physical condition have improved.
"They all cultivate domain power, I, a person who cultivates aura, will there be chaos when I go over?" Shi Xiao picked up something from the table and ate it.
"That's right..."Lan Xi remembered that Shi Xiao's cultivation was aura, and he couldn't cultivate in this Dunyang City.
Suddenly, Lan Xi straightened up and swallowed the food in his mouth fiercely and said: "By the way, Brother Xiao, I heard when I went to the cultivation area to eavesdrop a few days ago, that Huang Emperor seems to have this place to cultivate aura, why don't you try it, anyway, we are not far from here in the Huang Imperial Capital, and a day's journey is the opposite direction to Dunyang City." ”
"Emperor Huang?" Shi Xiao wondered, just after getting familiar with Dunyang City, an unfamiliar name came out, and for a while he felt that this Spirit Source Continent was really big.
"You can't be from our empire, right?" Lan Xi asked when he saw Shi Xiao so confused.
"Hmm... Sort of..."Shi Xiao replied intermittently, this Dunyang City still belongs to a country.
"No wonder your strength is so strong! Our empire is called Huang, and it is divided into two big cities, one is Dunyang, and the other is the capital of the Huang Emperor; if you want to say that this Dunyang City is the body of the entire Huang Empire, this Huang Emperor is the heart of this empire. Blue Creek explained.
"This Dunyang City alone is big enough, how can there be a Huang Emperor Capital..."Shi Xiao said helplessly.
"Dunyang City is mainly a ruling area of the princes of the imperial family, and the emperor and the officials are all staying in the Huang Emperor and controlling the entire Huang Empire... I don't know about the rest, after all, I haven't been to the Huang Imperial Capital, and I heard the lecturer say that the Huang Imperial Capital has some aura competitions and the like recently..."Lan Xi said.
"Reiki competition?" Shi Xiao's eyes suddenly lit up, he hadn't had a good fight recently, Shi Xiao's whole person felt that he was about to degenerate, and when he heard this competition, he was immediately interested.
"You're going to participate?" asked Lanxi.
"I want to check it out..."
"I'll go with you!" Lan Yun said suddenly on the side, she had been listening to Shi Xiao and her younger brother talking to her brother for a long time, and when she heard that Shi Xiao was going to this Huang Imperial Capital, she couldn't control herself staring at Shi Xiao for a while.
"Hmm, sister, why are you so active? People haven't decided yet!" As soon as Lan Xi's words came out, Lan Yun's face suddenly flushed, and then she turned her gaze to other places and didn't dare to stare at Shi Xiao anymore.
"Ahem, doesn't your sister care about me, okay, okay, let's make a decision in two days, the most important thing now is to help you get the house in order, and then send you to the cultivation area to cultivate, and protect your sister well in the future!" Shi Xiao cleared his throat to alleviate this embarrassing scene, and found a topic to diverge by the way.
"yes, I'm going to get stronger!"
......
"How's it going?" a voice echoed through the empty hall, and on the lavish chair on the steps sat a man with bloodshot eyes as if he hadn't had a good rest for a long time, and several ministers in the audience knelt on the ground without saying a word.
"Back to the Emperor, the Blood Clan army has defeated all the troops of the Sparrow Spirit Empire and other armies in one fell swoop, and now the Sparrow Spirit Empire is shrinking inward from their northwest border... You see..."
"Okay, okay, the emperor knows, you go down..." The man held his head with one hand and waved his hand with the other, signaling the people on the side to go down.
"Alas... This is a road of no return..."Seeing the soldier go down, the man sighed heavily. This person is the emperor of the Xiyun Empire, and he has already regretted this battle, not to mention the guys who are inferior to the beasts of the blood clan, there is no way, if you want not to destroy the foundation of the first emperor, you can only do this. After saying this, the appearance of the middle-aged man suddenly made people feel much older.
"Emperor, do you want him to take down the Sparrow Spirit Empire in one fell swoop?" said a minister, who was none other than the pot-bellied Zhou Wenjun.
"Forget it, I don't have this plan, stop it as soon as possible... The Emperor is already a disgrace to the Empire, and the Emperor doesn't want the world to spurn him..."The middle-aged man replied.
"Listen... You arrange..."
