Chapter 53: 053: First Arrival in Shangzhou City
The shade of the trees is sparse, and the sun is lazily sprinkled on the earth.
Following the path in front of Bluestone Town, after walking for nearly ten hours, a towering building appeared in front of me.
It was a dark city, with tall walls, and the stone bricks could still be seen with potholes and sword scratches from the battle.
It is like a fierce general stationed on the frontier of the human realm, standing on the smooth gray earth, looking at the 100,000 mountains in the distance.
The three big characters of the imposing "Shangzhou City" are deep above the city gate.
Visitors from the surrounding villages and towns were groups of merchants, leading a group of people and a few carriages into the city.
There are many paths in front of me, and scattered people come out of the dense forest and come to the square not far away to take turns to check.
Huang Lian followed behind a carriage, perhaps because of one person, which attracted the attention of some passers-by.
Shangzhou City is located on the edge of the eastern region of the human realm, and there are many fierce beasts and spirits in the wilderness, and there are often bandits and robbers blocking the road.
Needless to say, the hardships of being here alone.
"Entrance fee, one or two silver!"
After the convoy in front of him entered the city, the soldiers in black armor suddenly approached, looked Huang Lian up and down, and said indifferently.
Starting with silver, the black-armored soldiers will not make it difficult for Huang Lian, and let him go on the spot.
Just as Huang Lian passed by the black-armored soldier, there was a shaking behind him, followed by a series of cries for help: "Help! Help me! ”
I saw a man covered in blood, running towards the crowd in horror, and not far behind him, a bucket-thick black python chased after him.
The black-scaled python of the congenital stage!
Huang Lian's eyes froze, the secret path was not good, this kind of snake desolate beast belonged to the elite level of combat power among desolate beasts, with his cultivation of the second order of the Great Perfection of the day after tomorrow, I am afraid that he would not be able to defeat it.
Before he could retreat, the black-armored soldier beside him threw the metal spear in his hand violently.
A phantom figure streaked through, and the black python had been nailed to the ground, and the metal spear had pierced through the entire head, and the ground was dyed bright red.
The sound of the armor shaking came from the side, and the black-armored soldier stepped out of the crowd, pulled the metal spear from the snake's head, and carried the snake body back to its place step by step.
The pungent fishy smell came, and Huang Lian was quite frightened, the combat power of this soldier defending the city was more than a step stronger than he imagined.
After a false alarm, everyone breathed a sigh of relief and began to talk about the divine power of the black-armored soldiers.
The thickness of the city wall is amazing, Huang Lian walked out of the city gate, he needed to take more than a dozen steps, about the eye, it was estimated to be ten meters thick.
However, when I thought of the black-scaled snake just now, I was a little less surprised.
The main road in the city can pass through ten carriages horizontally at the same time, and there is a free gap, I have to say that Qingshi Town is indeed several grades worse than this Shangzhou City.
On both sides of the main road, there are a variety of shops on display, and countless caravans are waiting at the gate to unload and load goods.
Although Shangzhou City is located in a remote place, there are a lot of mineral elixirs in this barren mountains and mountains, which has formed this prosperous trade scene.
Crowds of people, dressed in different styles, gathered together, and even several tribesmen with fur and beards.
As the flow of people moved forward, the noise was endless, and a unique shop attracted Huang Lian's attention.
Taicang Chamber of Commerce
On the luxurious plaque, four large bronzing characters show the atmosphere of money.
Du Fuhai, who was holding the general's belly, commanded the workers under his command to carry the goods in front of the door: "You two, move the Taihu Lake Reef to the warehouse." ”
Suddenly, the corners of his face twitched, and the mutton fat white jade in his hand couldn't help but stop, and scolded the workers who were carrying the goods on the side: "You be careful~, this baby is broken, and your ten-year salary is not enough to compensate." ”
He rolled up his sleeves, and his big rich hands carefully stroked a statue of a god on the haystack: "Look at this carving, look at this momentum, sell it to those barbarians in the Western Regions for at least a thousand taels of gold." ”
"Mr. Du!" Huang Lian shouted.
"Alas! My baby! Du Fuhai was so frightened by this scream that his stomach stiffened, and such a majestic statue fell from the carriage, and he hurriedly held it with both hands, and fell into the air.
The idol was also grabbed by the big hand and hung in the air, looking at the powerful big hand in front of him, Huang Lian's smiling appearance was looked at by him.
"You're... Mr. Huang!? Du Fuhai was a little surprised, and his voice rose a little.
"I haven't seen Mr. Du for half a year, so I forgot about it?" Huang Lian put the idol in his hand lightly on the carriage and asked with a smile.
Du Fuhai patted his head, laughed and hugged Huang Lian's shoulder: "Mr. Huang is not strange~ Didn't I hear people say that you are crazy~ But seeing Mr. Huang like this, the rhetoric is self-defeating! ”
Du Fuhai's face shook for a while, and his eyes glanced lightly, as if he was quite disdainful of those who spread rumors.
"Thank you, Mr. Du, my madness has been cured." Huang Lian waved his hand and took out a dark green bead the size of a human eye from the collar and handed it to Du Fuhai.
"This thing is the Wild Beast Neidan?" Du Fuhai played with it in his hand for a while, turning it over and over, and seemed to be a little ignorant of this thing.
Huang Lian naturally also saw Du Fuhai's doubts, and explained: "This is the Gray Vine Ancient Tree Neidan, the Great Perfection Desolate Beast the Day After Tomorrow. ”
"Mr. Huang, what do you mean by that?" Du Fuhai asked suspiciously.
"I need spirit stones, exchange them for Neidan."
Du Fuhai frowned, there was bitterness on his face, and he returned the inner dan to Huang Lian: "Mr. Huang, we don't accept this thing, and the Shangzhou City branch only uses gold and silver to exchange for goods, and the cultivation materials such as spirit stones must be handed over to the superiors." ”
Huang Lian's eyes drooped slightly, and his heart suddenly became confused, not knowing where to go next.
"Mr. Huang, you and I have known each other for many years because of the transactions in the Xu Mansion, I naturally will not snub you, I also know a lot of local snakes in Shangzhou City, only one of them will accept Neidan, and it is also an official family of Shangzhou City, do you want to think about it yourself."
"Speaking in good conscience, although this thing is good, there are really not many Nedan out of our small place, so that everyone simply doesn't accept it, and you only have one, and you can't exchange it for a few spirit stones."
Du Fuhai persuaded hard, and the smile on his face was slightly retracted.
"Thank you, but there's a shipping route, I'd like to try it." Huang Lian said cautiously.
The explosion rate of the Desolate Beast Inner Pill is not high, not every Desolate Beast will produce, but there is an additional drop mechanism in the system, and all the Desolate Beasts killed by Huang Lian himself have produced the Inner Dan, so he is still confident enough to provide a certain amount.
There were only two ways to increase his cultivation experience as he knew, killing desolate beasts or absorbing spirit stones.
However, killing the desolate beast is too slow and the danger is too high in comparison, if he can also have spirit stones to assist in cultivation while killing the desolate beast, his promotion speed will definitely increase by leaps and bounds.
