"You're leaving, too?"

At the foot of Qingque Mountain, Ning Yue looked at Lei Jiang who said goodbye to him, and he was not too surprised.

There is no feast in the world, the matter of Qingque Mountain is completely exhausted, and it is reasonable for Lei Jiang to leave the team and return. Even Ying Tianxu didn't say goodbye, and there were fewer and fewer people in this temporary team, which was just human nature.

"Farewell, everyone, and I will not forget these things that I have been with you these days. If you meet again in the future, I invite you to drink, it is definitely a good wine. Bye. ”

With a wave of his hand, Lei Jiang moved away, and the direction was the way back to the frontier of all nations.

And the remaining few people chose another direction, heading to Ranwu Prefecture. At Han Jing's invitation, Ning Yue agreed to go to Li Xingge to have a look, and Meng Ye naturally said that he would continue to follow. As for Su Qian, her own purpose was to go to Chaowuzhou to practice, Ying Tianxu, who had been with her before, left, and the next road was also to choose to walk with a few acquaintances.

In itself, Mo Xu Yanya proposed to send them away, but Ning Yue refused. The reason is simple, they are not in a hurry, and the road out of the mountain range to Chaowu Prefecture can also be regarded as part of the experience. Besides, Mo Xu Yancrow was finally able to leave Qingque Mountain, which had been guarded for a long time, to go out and have a look, and he couldn't delay any longer.

However, the next few people made Ning Yue regret this decision. I don't know if Mo Xu Yancrow has a warning, or if the faint fluctuation after he fused the Demon Wing Emperor Chess will make the Demon Beast perceive, in short, on the way out of the mountain range, he didn't bump into the Demon Beast a few times at all. The few rare times I saw it from a distance, those demonic beasts all turned around and fled for the first time, and they were extremely hasty.

Anyway, it's just this way out of the mountains, it's too smooth, and it's a little boring.

Five days later, the border of Wuzhou was disturbed. To be precise, it should be the boundary between Zongwu Prefecture and the frontier of all countries, there is no division of anything artificially built, it is a mountain cliff as a division, if it is not for Han Jingdao, Ning Yue would not have understood that this is the dividing line at all.

"After thinking about it for a long time, I finally really set foot in the boundary of Chaowu Prefecture. Not to mention that I have been looking forward to this day since I was a child, and it has been more than a month since I first left the frontier of the Snow Dragon Empire. ”

Stretching out his arms and looking up and sighing, Ning Yue suddenly realized that what he had been looking forward to for many years had finally come true today, but he was not so excited.

When I was young, because I heard it from time to time in the sect, I always felt that Chaowuzhou was simply a holy place for martial artists, gathering countless strong people who had attained the Dao. However, with the experience and insight of more than a year, he realized how naïve his previous views were. I have seen a lot of warriors from the Chaotic Martial States, except that the combat power is indeed stronger than the overall strength of the Frontier of All Nations, there is no other difference.

On the filth and ugliness of the human heart, the calculation of unscrupulous means for the sake of profit, and even more. What was once a fantasy holy place never existed.

Yes, it's just cruelty and strife.

Not noticing a trace of self-deprecation in Ning Yue's eyes, Han Jing suddenly remembered something, took out his pocket, and said, "By the way, there is one thing I have to say to you." In the state of Chaowu, the towns within thirty miles of this border still recognize the currency of the frontier of all countries, and it must also be the currency issued by the five major empires. Further down, those things of gold and silver are basically like scrap metal, and they have no value. ”

When the words fell, her palms were spread out, and the three crystal particles in her palms lay quietly, shining with a few faint halos in the sunlight.

"In Chaowuzhou, many transactions are bartered, and the tokens that can be called hard currency are this kind of Xing Yuanjing. An ore that is common in the mountains with spiritual vein geology, it contains a small amount of spiritual power and can be used as an ingredient for a variety of elixirs. Even if it is directly crushed into powder and swallowed, it can also be used as an emergency means of replenishing spiritual power. The most common thing about the size of the nail is that the value of the larger one is not a multiple of the simple volume. ”

Picking up a Qi Yuan Crystal in his hand, Ning Yue asked, "So, how much is such a piece worth? I think that since both currencies are charged at the border, there must be a conversion multiple. ”

Han Jing replied: "Under normal circumstances, one Ox Yuan Crystal can be exchanged for three hundred gold coins, and the proportion will fluctuate with certain circumstances. However, the Oxid Yuan Crystal would never be less than two hundred and eighty gold coins. ”

For this answer, Ning Yue was really a little dumbfounded. To be honest, he doesn't have much concept of money now, after all, from the Red Wolf to the Imperial Academy, there is no need to spend money on his own. However, there is one thing he still remembers very clearly, the most common elixir to replenish spiritual power and vitality in the frontier of all nations is condensed, two bottles of gold coins, the price is not cheap, and the taste is also very bitter, but because of the good effect of the medicine, many warriors will carry some with them.

And in front of him, even if this little Ox Yuan Crystal was the cheapest, it was worth more than five hundred bottles of condensation!

In surprise, he asked casually: "You just said that this can also be crushed into powder and swallowed in an emergency, what kind of elixir is that equivalent to?"

"If the whole piece is subdued, it is not impossible for a low-level Spirit Awakening Realm powerhouse to explode and die directly. After all, it is a means of emergency, and under normal circumstances, no one will use it. ”

After that, Han Jing put the remaining two Qi Yuanjing back in his pocket, and as for the one that Ning Yue took, he didn't get it back.

"Let's go, go to the nearest town for a night stay. It's best to spend all the gold coins you have on you, so that you don't have to carry a lot of money with you, and then there is no use on the road after that. ”

"Don't make me look like I'm rich. ”

Shrugging his shoulders, Ning Yue smiled helplessly. On him, there really isn't much cash. As for a savings card issued by the Snow Dragon Empire, it is not recognized in any country on the frontier of all nations, let alone Chaowuzhou.

After more than ten miles, a small town located in the wilderness broke into the sight of the four. But if it was a town, it seemed smaller, more like a small fort with walls, with tall houses in the side corners and a few wisps of smoke rising from it.

"This, is this the town you are talking about?"

Raising his hand and pointing, Meng Ye's face twitched slightly, along the way, he had seen a town with only more than 20 shops, but under such a circle of walls in front of him, the houses were next to the towering fortress or even the walls were integrated, and he couldn't classify it into the category of a town no matter what.

Han nodded and said: "That's right, this place is called Desert Sand Town, which was originally said to be prosperous, but it was swallowed up by a rare sandstorm for a thousand years, and only the fortress of the original town owner was retained, so the surviving people renovated and repaired it inside, and it became the current appearance, continuing the name of Desert Town." Don't look small, in fact, you have everything. Come out and wander around, and in the evening, have a hot meal to eat, and a room to shelter from the wind and rain, plus a bed, isn't it enough?"

Patting Meng Ye's head, Ning Yue smiled and said, "What's the matter, you are starting to care about these too?" There are thousands of acres of fertile land, and it only takes six feet to sleep at night. The family has a lot of money, and the eclipse is no more than three meals. Wouldn't it be nice to have a place like this rather than sleeping in the wilderness?"

"Well, Lord Ning Yue, I was wrong. ”

Bowing his head slightly, Meng Ye raised his head intentionally or unintentionally, slapped Ning Yue's palm off, followed him, and went to the town where there was only one fortress left.

After entering the wall, he was shocked to find that what Han Jing said was indeed the truth, although it was small here, it should be everything, and it was not much different from the small town he had seen on the road. Inns, bathhouses, wine shops, tea houses, pharmacies, weapons shops, none of them is bad.

However, due to the slightly small area, the overall architectural pattern is a little crowded, and the time is close to the evening, there are many traveling warriors gathered here, which actually gives people the illusion of bustling.

And after coming to the inn, Ning Yue suddenly found that it was not an illusion. Because, when the shopkeeper saw the four of them enter the store, the first sentence in the greeting turned out to be......

"You're a little late, there aren't many rooms in the shop, and there's only one room left. ”

"One room, four of us, two men and two women, squeezed into one room?"

Patting the counter with both hands, Ning Yue was roaring, finally there is a room to live in, and there is no need to sleep in the open, I didn't expect this to be the result.

"Well, you misunderstood, guest, the remaining room is not a single room, but a large two-bed room. Each bed is wide enough to squeeze three people into it. Considering the inconvenience, it is no problem to pull out a curtain in the aisle between the two beds. Besides, they are all martial artists who have come out to train, what do you care about?"

In the face of the shopkeeper's explanation, Ning Yue still wanted to refute something, but was indeed stopped by Han Jing's horizontal arm, and said with a smile: "Just this big room, prepare some more meals and hot soup, and send them directly to the room." ”

After that, she glanced at Ning Yue, and at the door of the inn, there were a few more people entering together. If we don't negotiate again, I'm afraid that the final foothold will be lost.

"Okay, listen to you. ”

Ning Yue replied helplessly, took out all the remaining gold coins on his body, and slapped them on the counter.

"Hurry up the meals, get a few more. ”

"No problem, guest upstairs, please!"

Soon, the four of them sat in the room, it was indeed a big room, and the four of them would not feel crowded if they stayed inside.

After quickly closing the door, Su Qian looked at Han Jing and said in a low voice, "You seem to have noticed something, haven't you?"

"Why?"

Han Jing was pouring tea by himself, and he didn't even look at Su Qian.

Without waiting for Su Qian to answer, Ning Yue said, "You saw the inn hall just now, and there are still free tables, but you asked for the food to be delivered to the room. And, even if you're trying to grab the last room before the next batch of guests asks, you seem to be in a hurry, as if you're hiding from something. ”

Nodding, Han Jing replied, "That's right, I saw a table of people I didn't want to see." And you don't end up taking a picture with them. ”

Ning Yue was stunned for a moment, and said, "Ah, in Chaowuzhou, do I have an enemy? Those people who left from Qingque Mountain before have no reason to stay here, right?"

"It's an old grudge further back, in the Demonic Mountains. You shouldn't have forgotten the name of the Sword Lan Sect, right? The people at the table over there belong to the Sword Lan Sect!"

"The name of the Sword Lan Sect seems to have been heard. Add to that the words of the Mist Mountains - it could be ......".

Suddenly, Ning Yue's eyes changed, and a faint unexpected color flashed in his eyes.

"Xue Che!"
