Chapter 2: Black Flame City

"Whew!"

High in the air, there was a sudden sharp sound of breaking wind. A black figure stepped on www.biquge.info black sword and swept through the air, as fast as thunder, and disappeared in a flash, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.

"Haha, there's Black Flame City ahead!"

The black figure slowed down suddenly, but it was a young man in his early twenties, his resolute face was like a knife, his long black hair was arrogant and unruly, and he was hunting in a black robe, it was Qin Canghai who had just come out of the customs.

Qin Canghai looked ahead, and at the end of the distant heaven and earth, he could vaguely see a huge black city, as high as a hundred zhang, ten zhang thick, like a black giant beast crawling on the vast earth, it was extraordinarily majestic, and a sense of historical vicissitudes came to his face.

[Jiancheng has been lying on the plain since ancient times, and the majestic mountains and rivers run through the nine days. 】

[How old is the dispute in the demon world, and it is Heiyan who stands majestically. - Dugu Zidan "Black Flame City"

Among the 108,000 cities in the Demon Realm, the largest Blood Killing City, Black Demon City, and Heavenly Fire City have a radius of millions of miles, and two-thirds of them are only ordinary cities with a radius of 100,000 li, and the remaining one-third of the cities are hundreds of thousands of miles in size. Black Flame City is just a relatively ordinary city in the Demon Realm, with an area of about 200,000 li in size.

However, the area of the Demon Realm is vast and boundless, and the 108,000 cities are like oases in the desert, separated by hundreds of millions of miles. Outside the city, there are some privately built dock forts, there are also large or small towns formed by cultivators, some famous mountains and rivers are often the mountain gates of the Xiuzhen sect, and there are also strong people who gather in the mountains and forests, occupy the mountains as kings, dominate one side, and so on.

"Let's go." Qin Canghai no longer hesitated, his body moved, stepped on the Divine Demon Knife, turned into a black streamer again, sped up his speed, and hurried towards the Black Flame City thousands of miles away.

Black Flame City, owned by a force called the Black Flame Sect, is where the mountain gate of the Black Flame Sect is located. The Black Flame Sect has a long heritage, and there are more Demon Emperor-level masters in the sect, it is a subsidiary sect of the Heavenly Fire Mansion, the largest sect within a radius of millions of miles, and one of the 108,000 cities in the Demon Realm, no one dares to mess with it, and it is named Black Flame City in the name of the sect!

When he was still a few hundred zhang away from the south gate of Black Flame City, Qin Canghai paused, landed lightly on the ground, and then slowly walked towards the city gate. The strong in the demon world are respected, and among the 108,000 cities, except for some people with special identities and extremely high status, cultivators are forbidden to fly, and they are generally not allowed to fight in the city, and serious violators will be killed by the soldiers defending the city. Even if the Demon Lord is already a strong man in the Demon Realm, it is not enough to run rampant in the Demon Realm and be fearless.

In ancient times, the demon world was unified, and a super force called the Heavenly Demon Palace controlled the entire demon world, and the demon cultivators of various other sects respected the Heavenly Demon Palace, just like today's heavenly court is to the fairy world, the underworld is to the underworld, and the temple is to the Buddha world. The Heavenly Demon Palace divided the Demon Realm into 108,000 cities, and established various rules and regulations to strengthen its control over the Demon Realm and consolidate its rule.

It's just that later, the Heavenly Demon Palace suddenly declined, and its strength plummeted, and the Blood Killing Palace, the Black Demon Gate and the Heavenly Fire Mansion took the opportunity to rise, and after some battles, they finally divided the Demon Realm into three parts, each commanding 36,000 cities, and the three major forces of the Demon Realm were formed. Since then, the demon cultivators have been fighting endlessly, and the demon world has fallen into endless chaos. The Heavenly Demon Palace completely disappeared and disappeared forever, but many of the rules established by the Heavenly Demon Palace have not changed, and they have been passed down to the present.

Humans are forgetful creatures. The Heavenly Demon Palace soon faded out of the sight of the cultivators and was forgotten outside the clouds. Only when a few friends are drinking wine and eating meat at the wine table, chatting about the world, maybe occasionally they will talk about the legend of the Heavenly Demon Palace, and they will say yearningly, hey, when the Heavenly Demon Palace ruled, how stable the Demon World was, and his life could basically be guaranteed. It's like now, fighting and killing everywhere, maybe one day my brother and I will be killed, what kind of chaos it looks like!

"Please pay 10 magic crystals to enter the city."

A group of soldiers in black armor stopped Qin Canghai. On their battle armor, there was a flame-shaped pattern painted on it, apparently the soldiers defending the city under the Black Flame Sect. Qin Canghai didn't care, he threw out 10 magic crystals casually, and swaggered into the city gate, and then cast his body technique, his body flashed continuously, and went straight to Jubao Mountain in the north of the city.

Jubaoshan is a terrifying super force in the Heavenly Realm, with an extremely long inheritance and a very deep heritage, and its power is all over the Heavenly Realm, but it never participates in all kinds of disputes in the Heavenly Realm, specializing in business and trade, and controls the economic lifeline of the Heavenly Realm. Legend has it that Jubaoshan was a super force of the same era as the Heavenly Demon Palace, and at that time, Jubaoshan was already a giant in the heavenly realm, but now that the Heavenly Demon Palace has long since perished, Jubaoshan is still undiminished, which shows how terrifying its strength is. Just like the Heavenly Killing Tower, Jubao Mountain does not have its own cultivation system, but it collects various schools of martial arts and secret techniques, and absorbs strong people from all over the Heavenly Realm every year. Moreover, the inner disciples of Jubaoshan have a mysterious method of cultivation, and they are good at swallowing other people's skills, which is extremely difficult, and Qin Canghai has fought with the disciples of Jubaoshan several times, and they all have an extremely headache.

Jubao Mountain has branches in all major cities in the Heavenly Realm, especially in the Demon Realm, there are Jubao Mountain's forces in 108,000 cities, and this Jubao Mountain is the branch opened by Jubao Mountain in Black Flame City. Jubaoshan was able to open branches in various parts of the Heavenly Realm, firstly because of its own strength, and secondly, because it did not participate in the disputes of the Heavenly Realm. On the surface, as long as others don't provoke it, Jubaoshan will almost always remain neutral. Therefore, as the three major forces in the Demon Realm, the Blood Killing Palace, the Black Demon Gate, and the Heavenly Fire Mansion all allowed Jubaoshan to open branches in their own spheres of influence, but they didn't dare to provoke a behemoth like Jubaoshan at all.

In any branch of Jubaoshan, it is forbidden to fight, kill or rob property, and it is absolutely a fair trade of paying money with one hand and delivering goods with the other. Violators will be killed on the ground, and even if they escape, they will be chased and killed by the Heavenly Realm of Jubao Mountain, and that will undoubtedly be an extremely tragic ending.

A vague figure quickly flashed through the streets and alleys, looking at this speed, at least it was at the level of a demon king. In a few flashes, the figure landed in front of the gate of the Jubaoshan branch, which was Qin Canghai.

Looking up at this towering mountain-shaped building that is more than 100 zhang high, Qin Canghai had to sigh at Jubaoshan's generosity. Although it was not the first time he had come, Qin Canghai still secretly admired the strength of Jubao Mountain.

Jubao Mountain, a mountain in the true sense, is to directly cut the top of a mountain from the top, and then hollow out the mountain into twelve layers, and spend a lot of precious materials to refine into a low-grade celestial weapon. Such a large mountain, covering an area of ten miles, even if it is hollowed out, I don't know how many precious materials it will take to refine. If all these materials are used to refine ordinary low-grade celestial weapons, I am afraid that they can be refined into tens of thousands of pieces! Its value is at least worth a royal artifact. Moreover, this is just one of the branches of Jubao Mountain among the countless cities in the Heavenly Realm!

[The prestige of the heavenly realm is revealed, and the overlord suppresses the demon immortals. 】

[Gather Qiankun treasures, and the evil gods devour the world. - Dugu Zidan "Jubao Mountain"

Qin Canghai looked at this Jubao Mountain Branch, the glowing jade light flowed on the surface of the mountain, exuding the breath of heavenly weapons, and it was not ordinary at first glance. At the top of that mountain, there was a splendid pearl that released a powerful coercion, and even Qin Canghai felt a strong threat.

It is rumored that this pearl contains the three attacks of the Tianzun level powerhouse, which is the magic weapon used by Jubao Mountain to deter others, once it is activated, even if it is a strong Demon Emperor, he will be seriously injured if he does not die. Once someone fights or robs property in the Jubaoshan branch, they will be attacked instantly. In this way, the first put an end to the occurrence of things like robbery and murder, and the second also put on the prestige of Jubaoshan.

Many cultivators came in and out from the entrance of the Jubaoshan branch, which seemed to be very lively. Qin Canghai straightened his robe and stepped into it. A beautiful woman in Tsing Yi gently moved the lotus step to greet her, and said a blessing to Qin Canghai. There are countless cultivators in the Demon Realm, and the Heavenly Demon level is completely at the bottom of the Demon Realm, there are really too many, even if this is just a maid who greets guests, and her skills have reached the late stage of the Heavenly Demon.

"This son, please come here." The maid made a gesture of invitation, led Qin Canghai into the inner hall, and then turned to leave, and went to greet the other guests.

Although Qin Canghai has lived for five million years, he has always maintained the appearance he had when he first reached the Jindan stage. He was only twenty-one years old at the time, so it is not surprising that he was called Childe.

In fact, cultivators can change their appearance when they reach the Jindan stage, and after ascending, they can change their appearance as they like. So in the Heavenly Realm, maybe a child who looks like he is only five or six years old is an old monster who has lived for tens of millions of years.

However, there is a Tao that is "born from the heart", and the truly strong pursue a pure Dao heart, and changing the appearance of such things that go against the original heart will do all kinds of harm to the cultivation of the truth, and they do not bother to change their original face at all. Like these maids, almost all of them are hopeless and forced to make a living, so they change their appearance in order to attract guests.

Jubaoshan is not only a large store, but also has all kinds of entertainment and enjoyment, and is definitely the best place for pleasure in the heavenly realm. Some playboys linger almost every day, indulging in the gentle country. Of course, the prerequisite is that you have enough magic crystals.

Jubaoshan has a total of 12 floors, nine above ground and three underground. The third and second basement floors are gambling houses, and the first basement floor and the first floor above ground are green. The second and third floors above ground are restaurants. The fourth floor is a free trading area, where you can rent a small stall and sell your belongings freely as long as you pay 100 magic crystals. The fifth floor is a shop, which is rented to someone else to open a shop. After all, the Demon Realm is extremely chaotic, and murder and treasure grabbing happen from time to time, even in the city, it is not safe, but in Jubao Mountain, there are almost no worries. Of course, if you rent a shop in the Jubaoshan branch, you have to pay a large amount of rent every year, and if you are not a big businessman, you can't afford to rent it at all.

The sixth floor is the shop of Jubao Mountain, which contains countless treasures, weapons, pills, rare materials, natural treasures, sales of spirit beasts, sales of servants, etc., everything. The seventh floor is the famous celestial treasure auction room, and the eighth floor is the VIP seats of the auction room. The ninth floor is the residence of the management staff, and all idle people are not allowed to enter.

Qin Canghai was familiar with the road, followed the flow of people along the wide corridor, and then turned right directly upstairs, climbed up step by step, and went directly to the fifth floor. In front of a shop called "Heavenly Soldier Xing", Qin Canghai stopped.

Heavenly Soldier Xing is a force in the Demon Realm that specializes in refining and buying and selling celestial weapons, although it cannot be compared with the Blood Killing Palace, the Black Demon Gate and the Heavenly Fire Mansion that are the three major forces in the Demon Realm, but it is also a big force in the Demon Realm. Moreover, they specialized in refining celestial weapons, and the quality of the celestial artifacts they sold was slightly better than the ones in the shop on the sixth floor of Jubao Mountain. This is also the reason why Qin Canghai chose Heavenly Soldiers.

This shop is the branch of Tianbing Xing in Black Flame City, and the owner is a middle-aged man in a green shirt, and there are several salespeople in the store.

"Childe, what do you want?"

As soon as he saw that it was the Demon Lord's powerhouse, the shopkeeper in the green shirt immediately stood up and asked politely. His skills are already in the late stage of the Demon King.

It's just a small branch, and there are usually no big names coming over at all. The Demon Emperor and Demon Lord in Black Flame City are rare, and the cultivators who come here are usually only in the late stage of the Demon King, and they can hardly see the figure of the Demon King. As for those heavenly demons and demon generals, they can be entertained by the clerk, and he won't care.

"An Imperial Heavenly Weapon." Qin Canghai's fingers tapped lightly on the counter, and then he added, "A war knife." ”

The shopkeeper in the green shirt nodded and said, "Childe, there are only two Emperor Sword swords in this shop now, if you choose other styles, you need to ship them from the Heavenly Soldier City Headquarters, you may need to wait for a day." ”

Qin Canghai said: "It's okay, you take out the two war knives first and let me have a look." ”

This is just a small branch of the Heavenly Soldiers in Black Flame City, and there are no more than ten Imperial Heavenly Weapons in total, and it is also because the knife is the most common weapon that it can be in stock.

As soon as the shopkeeper in the green shirt raised his right hand, there were two imperial war knives suspended on the counter. A blood-colored full moon scimitar with a dark red blood groove on its body, exuding an astonishing aura. The other is a black standard long knife, the blade is slender, extremely sharp, engraved with mysterious golden lines, a cold air rushed to the face.

The shopkeeper of the Heavenly Soldier Xing seemed extremely patient, and actually sat down when Qin Canghai was choosing a war knife, lay down on the soft back of the chair, and drank tea comfortably. Suddenly, the smell of tea filled the entire shop.

"How much do these two knives cost?" Qin Canghai asked out loud.

The shopkeeper in the green shirt said: "The full moon scimitar is 1.2 million magic crystals, and the standard war knife is 1 million magic crystals. ”

"I've got it covered." Qin Canghai said loudly, "I choose a standard battle knife. ”

The shopkeeper in the green shirt didn't dare to slack off, handed the standard war knife to Qin Canghai, and said politely: "Please pay 1 million magic crystals." ”

Generally, a low-grade celestial artifact is worth more than 10 magic crystals, a medium-grade celestial artifact is worth more than 100 magic crystals, a high-grade celestial artifact is worth more than 1,000 magic crystals, a top-grade celestial artifact is worth more than 10,000 magic crystals, a king celestial artifact is worth more than 100,000 magic crystals, and an emperor celestial artifact is worth more than 1 million magic crystals. Of course, this is not absolute, for example, the Jubaoshan branch here, although it is only a low-grade celestial weapon, the price is enough to compare with the Wang Pin celestial weapon.

And on top of the emperor's heavenly weapon, there is also an artifact. However, artifacts are extremely rare in the Heavenly Realm, and they are all low-grade or medium-grade artifacts, and with the rarity of artifacts, they are simply priceless, and only occasionally appear in some large-scale auctions. In this small branch of the Heavenly Soldier Line, there are only a few Imperial Heavenly Weapons, and if you choose other Imperial Heavenly Weapons, you must book them in advance, and they will be transported by the Heavenly Soldier Headquarters, or you can go directly to the Heavenly Soldier City where the Heavenly Soldier Athletic Headquarters is located to buy them, not to mention any artifacts.

Generally speaking, the total net worth of an ordinary demon lord is about tens of thousands of magic crystals, the total net worth of an ordinary demon lord is about hundreds of thousands of magic crystals, a demon lord is millions of magic crystals, the demon emperor is tens of millions of magic crystals, and the net worth of the demon lord is even more than 100 million. And the Heavenly Demon is only a pitiful dozens of demon crystals.

"Well, I want to sell these things." Qin Canghai flipped over his right hand, and a large number of weapons appeared on the counter, all of which were the trophies he had obtained after killing the enemy before, and he took out the king-grade celestial-level war knife that he had used.

"Good brother, we're going to say goodbye." Qin Canghai stroked the smooth blade of the knife for the last time, lifted the original blood-dripping confession, and handed it to the shopkeeper in green shirts with some reluctance. After all, this Wang Pin pinnacle battle knife was bought by himself with all his might and spent 800,000 magic crystals, and he has been with him for more than a thousand years, and he already has a deep feeling, but now he has to sell it.

The man in the green shirt carefully checked the quality and integrity of each weapon, and after a long inspection, he said, "This son, the total value of your weapons is about 755,000 magic crystals. According to the rules of our Heavenly Soldiers, weapons are recovered at eighty percent of their actual value, that is to say, if Childe wants to sell these weapons, he can get 604,000 magic crystals, so you have to pay another 396,000 magic crystals. ”

Qin Canghai didn't talk nonsense anymore, took out the magic crystal from the storage ring and paid for it, and took the black standard war knife from the owner of the Heavenly Soldier Shop. A drop of essence blood came out of the tip of his index finger, and then dripped onto the sword, which was slowly absorbed. After completing the blood dripping and recognizing the master, Qin Canghai held the hilt of the knife, and with just a few gentle waves, the sound of whirring wind broke out.

"Well, it's not bad, let's call it the God and Demon Knife." Qin Canghai nodded with satisfaction, put the new God and Demon Knife into the storage ring, and turned to leave. His war knife, from the beginning to the present, has always used the name of the god and demon sword, and it has never changed.

"After so many years of retreat, I haven't come to Jubaoshan for a long time. I'm going to take a good look around today and see if there's anything that works for me. Qin Canghai thought so, so he took a leisurely stroll around Jubao Mountain.

PS: As early as in the afterword of my first novel "Yin and Yang White Ink", I released a bold statement, saying that the goal of the new book is one million words. However, plans don't always keep up with changes.

Now, I have completed the second chapter of "Rainbow Dust Palace", "Black Flame City", and the total word count has exceeded 10,000 words. And according to my expectations, as long as I keep writing, three million words should be no problem. Although my update speed is too slow, I think this efficiency is okay for a high school student who lives on campus.

So, please don't skimp on your referral votes. Let's make the referral votes more violent! Please give Dan a little more support! I will fight hard and achieve my goal!

PS: I apologize for the slight changes in the first chapter "Demon Lord" and the second chapter "Black Flame City". Thank you all for your support!
