Chapter 8: Aoki Castle
After Zhao Gan practiced quietly at home for a month, he did not make much progress, and finally persuaded his parents to go out to practice.
Speaking of going out to practice, Old Man Zhao is still very supportive, after all, on the way to cultivation, he always has to go through some bloody rain, and he always cultivates at home, without going through wind and rain and fighting, just like the flowers in the greenhouse, but in vain.
After a month's trek, he finally arrived at the border town of the Great Qianguo, Aoki City.
Aoki City, adjacent to the Demon Beast Wasteland, is the only place where the Great Qianguo is heavily guarded, and its defense object is the important town of the Demon Beast.
The Demon Beast Wasteland is not just a plain, its area is huge, there are both mountains and plains, much larger than the land area of the Great Qianguo, and there are countless mountains in the middle that cultivators have never set foot in, and there are powerful demons infested.
The Demon Beast Mountain Range is one of the few borderless lands in the entire continent, and it is full of demon beasts, and it is also a paradise for outlaws because there is no ** control.
Legend has it that this Aoki City was established when the laws of this domain did not change, originally in the depths of the Demon Beast Wasteland, and later a strong man who specialized in the cultivation of wood exercises found that the Qingtian Tree here was very strong, and was not afraid of ordinary flames, so he took this Aoki Forest as the city wall and established this Wood City with overhaul.
The roads of Aoki Castle are made by flattening the thick roots of the exposed blue sky trees, and the houses are made by directly hollowing out the huge blue sky trees, which is very strong.
Later, people used Aoki Castle as a base to clear all the monsters west of Aoki Castle and use it as land for human habitation.
This Aoki City is the closest human settlement to the Demon Beast Wasteland in the Great Qianguo, because the monsters are full of treasures, so the Wood Town mainly uses the treasure of the demon beasts and the elixir of heaven and earth produced in the Demon Beast Wasteland as the commercial pillars, and it is also one of the important tax places in the Great Qianguo, because of the geographical location, the trade is very frequent.
Naturally, the most of them here are those adventurers who lick blood all day long, and there are also a large number of businessmen who come here for business opportunities.
However, although this wooden town has a large flow of people and prosperous trade, because there is a beast tide here every few years, and there is no law, a large number of demon beasts rush out of the demon beast wasteland, and here they will be wiped out by the army composed of the Qianguo army and adventurers, and then the military and adventurers will jointly distribute the spoils.
Walking on the streets of Aoki City, although the buildings are a little simple, but they have a unique style, and there is a golden dragon spit water made of natural fountains in the center of the city, Zhao Qian can't help but feel a little fresh. There are also many shops in this town, daily necessities, weapons and equipment, alchemy, elixir, and beast yuan...... There are also pubs, restaurants, auction houses, etc. Although the sparrows are small, they are complete, and they are basically found in the capital of Qianguo, and they are all here.
There are also some adventurers who do not have a fixed shop, sitting on the ground on both sides of the street, with some harvests in the monster wasteland in front of them, used to sell or exchange, their stalls are allocated to them by the administrative committee of Aoki City, and if they have income, they pay taxes, and if they have no income, they are free of booth fees, unless an adventurer wants to fix it in a certain stall, they have to pay a certain fee every month.
Zhao Gan walked on the road, looking very immature like a child of a family like him, but he dared to come to the border of this extremely dangerous demon beast wasteland alone, which attracted the attention of many people.
It's dark now, but the shops in Aoki Castle are lit up, and it's lit up everywhere.
"It seems that many people have benefited from the Demon Beast Wasteland. Zhao Gan walked all the way and looked at the small stalls on the side of the road, some bought herbs, some sold weapons, and some sold the essence blood of demon beasts, he thought secretly in his heart.
As he walked, he saw a pitch-black halberd on a stall, and his heart moved inexplicably, so he asked the black-robed man who was setting up the stall, "Boss, how much is this halberd?"
"Take 10,000 gold coins away!" The black-robed man raised his head, revealing his face completely covered by the black-robe, and said in a hoarse voice,
10,000 gold coins is not much for Zhao Gan, who has "ten thousand dollars in his pocket", because when he left, his parents were worried that something would go wrong on his way, and they were afraid that he would suffer from sleeping in the open air, so they brought a lot of money.
Although 10,000 gold coins is not much for him, he didn't give money directly, after all, he didn't plan to use the power of his family to go out for this time, so these in his hand were money for him to spend one less one, so he pointed to a few herbs next to him that could heal his injuries and said: "10,000 gold coins is too expensive, you can give me these herbs as well." ”
The black-robed man was not afraid of suffering, and with a wave of his hand, the halberd and a few herbs rose into the void and flew towards Zhao Qian.
After Zhao Qian stretched out his hand to catch it, he put some medicinal materials into the baggage, planning to put them in the storage ring when no one was around. Because of his current age and strength, the use of storage rings is a bit flamboyant, so he made a simple burden on the road, and he carried this halberd directly on his shoulders.
"When I came out, I didn't have a Western Illusion weapon at home, and this halberd looked pretty good. Zhao Qian looked at the pitch-black halberd in his hand, and his heart was also happy.
After a little more strolling, he found that there was nothing worth buying, so Zhao Qian planned to find an inn to rest for a while, and by the way, put these east into the storage ring, and enter the demon beast wasteland the next day.
"Oh, I heard that powerful demon beasts have also appeared on the periphery of the Demon Beast Wasteland recently, I wonder if it's true?"
"Of course it's true, I've seen it with my own eyes!"
"It's true, a few days ago, I just entered the Demon Beast Wasteland, and I heard the sound of a dragon's groan, and I heard the sound, it looked like a high-level demon beast!"
"Yes, listening to that momentum, it's at least a seventh-level demon beast!"
......
As soon as he entered the inn, Zhao Qian heard people talk about the recent situation of the Demon Beast Wasteland, and he didn't care, because he didn't come here to train, nor to make a fortune, but to go to that ruin.
Because that ruins had treasure medicine to exercise his body, and there were also things that could help him open up the wheel of the sea, but that ruins were in the depths of the Demon Beast Wasteland, and with his current strength, it was really not easy to get there.
In the room, Zhao Qian sat on the bed, took out a wooden box from the storage ring, and then took out one of the rehmannia fruits with two fingers.
Exposed to the air, the rehmannia fruit wafts with a faint fragrance that is intoxicating.
Zhao Qian looked at this rehmannia fruit, put it in the palm of his right palm, and then his heart moved, and a trace of yuan power flowed out of his palm, wrapping the rehmannia fruit, and then holding it hard, guarding the spiritual platform, and pulling the essence of the rehmannia fruit into the body.
As the aura in the rehmannia fruit was continuously inhaled into his body, Zhao Qian felt that the qi in Zhou Tian in his body was constantly liquefiing.
Looking at this magical scene, Zhao Qian was very amazed, the rehmannia fruit is really a good thing, and it is of great benefit to the people of Zhou Tianjing.
He naturally knows the value of this rehmannia fruit, whether it is in the past life or in the present life, the price of this rehmannia fruit is extremely high, even with the background of the Zhao family, it is only a few hundred.
Seeing the dozens of rehmannia fruits in the storage ring, he was very surprised, he really didn't expect his mother to bring so many rehmannia fruits to himself, and the strong maternal love made Zhao Gan's heart very moved.
