Chapter 930: Inquiring
The flying insect itself was weak, and it could barely absorb this drop of blood after the blood contract, but the power in the blood was not completely digested.
Song Qing looked down at the way it crawled and swayed in her palm, and it actually showed signs of imminent evolution, and with her previous experience raising wolves, she could guess that this flying insect should need to sleep for a period of time to completely absorb this blood.
She was originally going to contract this insect and then use it to memorize the path from Heavenly Punishment Town to Nine Heavens City, but now looking at the scene of this insect barely supporting it, she naturally knew that this plan was not working, so she immediately grabbed this insect and put it away.
……
The Nine Heavens City of the Outer Heaven was slightly different from what Song Qingxiao expected.
Compared to the sparsely populated and dilapidated town of Heavenly Punishment, it is much more prosperous.
Its architectural style is antique, but it can sense the skynet lenses everywhere, and there is a kind of antique street style.
Unlike the ordinary people in the empire who don't know much about the hidden family and cultivators, the people here should be very aware of the existence of cultivators and cultivators, and they should be integrated with each other.
As soon as Song Qingxiao entered the city, his divine sense swept away, and he could sense both the existence of the cultivator's divine consciousness and the ordinary breath, as if here, a unique tacit understanding and peace had been reached between the cultivator and the ordinary people.
The pedestrians on the street are dressed very differently, but they form a special but harmonious style.
She was wearing the clothes that Xiangsi gave her at that time, standing in the Nine Heavens City, which not only seemed incompatible with this city, but also had a feeling that she had just come but had already integrated into this city.
"This is the outer heavens."
In the soul, Su Wu's voice rang out.
As a remnant soul living in Song Qingxiao's soul, Su Wu seemed to feel Song Qingxiao's feelings at this time for the first time, and without waiting for her to ask, he took the initiative to explain:
"The resources of the Outer Heaven are almost controlled by the Nine Great Clans," of course, after the Long Leaving Family was destroyed, it became controlled by the Eight Great Clans.
"The common people are quite obedient to the clan, and pay an annual tribute to the clan in order to seek refuge."
And the reason why the clan is divided into inner and outer clans is because of this.
The inner sect of the lineage is where the real strength of the clan lies, while most of the disciples of the outer sect are biased towards handling tedious affairs and dealing with the people.
Martial arts are admired here, but it is different from the empire's admiration of force, but it tries its best to cover up the existence of the world.
The people here worship the powerful of the clan and are proud to be part of it.
If there is a talented person, he may also have the qualifications to enter the Tao from martial arts.
"So on the whole, the strength of the Outer Heaven is much better than that of the Empire." It is precisely because of the special atmosphere of this place that cultivators no longer need to have a hidden existence here.
"And many people like you, "who were originally just ordinary people in the empire, but who entered the Divine Prison by chance, and finally survived by luck, but then stepped into the path of cultivation," will all come to the Outer Heaven without exception. ”
When Su Wu said this, he seemed a little meaningful.
For trialists transformed from ordinary people, this place is highly tolerant, and both resources and environment are far more abundant than the empire.
As long as the strength is strong enough, you can live a luxurious life in the outer heavens.
There are huge cultivation resources here, medicinal materials, utensils, pills, magic weapons, etc., as long as you are rich and powerful, you can get them.
Ordinary people and people with low cultivation strength are eager to get the guidance of the strong, and they will be willing to belong to the powerful cultivators and become slaves.
"Because of this, points have become the most basic currency in circulation here."
The items exchanged in the Inferno interface will become the most popular circulating items in some of the markets here.
"So these people who come to the outer heavens will regard the outer heavens as their final destination."
"Eventually?"
Song Qingxiao keenly captured the key point in Su Wu's words, and she vaguely felt that Su Wu said this with a vague mockery.
However, Su Wu did not answer her words:
"But these people will soon learn their lesson."
Most of the trialists who can come here without relying on the support of their families are already among the best, and even many of them are not below the children of some clans regardless of their luck, talent, and strength.
With points, success in the Divine Prison will make them come here, bewitched by the environment here, but forget that this place is far more cruel than the Empire.
After tearing away the disguise of the empire, the belief that the strong are respected here has been carried forward to the extreme.
The control of the Nine Great Clans will deal a blow to these ambitious people, making it difficult for them to really come out.
"In general, if you don't have ambitions, pursuits, and just enjoy life, then it's perfect for you."
And if you have ambitions and want to do something big, it is difficult for you to stand out under the control of the world.
Those who perform a little well will eventually be discovered by the Martial Arts Research Institute and successfully 'snared', if they don't have absolutely strong strength, they won't be able to escape from this laid net.
Su Wu laughed coldly, and then changed the topic again:
"Yunjin Treasure Clothing Workshop is quite famous in Nine Heavens City, you can easily find it if you ask around."
She has reached the realm of harmony, even if she releases a little bit of coercion, there are many people who are willing to compete to show her the way.
may have returned to his former homeland, he was in a bad mood, and did not answer Song Qingxiao's words, but after saying this, he hid again very willfully.
Song Qingxiao was also a little helpless, so she simply walked around the street at random and got acquainted with it.
From Su Wu's words, although the environment outside the sky is more tolerant of cultivation than the imperial capital, there are more crises at the same time.
She's new to the city, and she's not going to make a name for herself here.
But as Su Wu said, ordinary people and cultivators coexist here, and there are many people who have the ability to see.
From Su Wu's concealment for less than five minutes, Song Qingxiao felt that a few breaths were following him.
She has only come out of the Hidden Realm not long ago, could it be that the affairs of the Empire and the news in the Hidden Realm have already reached here?
Song Qingxiao frowned slightly when she thought of this.
It's just that she soon realized that she should have thought too much, and the aura that followed her was very weak, and most of them had just stepped into the door of the Enlightenment Realm.
One of them, who had a slightly stronger spiritual power, already had the cultivation of the Condensing Mirror, and such a cultivator had nothing to hide in front of her, and it didn't look like he had a relationship with the world clan and the Martial Arts Research Institute.
Sure enough, about a few minutes later, a young man in a black samurai robe had the courage to appear not far behind Song Qingxiao.
Outwardly, he was in his twenties and tall, lanky.
A braided silk rope framed his slender waist, a short blade hung from his waist, and the three-quarter sleeves were designed to reveal his strong forearms.
After this person appeared in a flash, he seemed to know that he had been exposed, and sped up his pace and followed behind Song Qingxiao.
"Your Excellency just came to Nine Heavens City?" Micro book bar
His tone was respectful, perhaps because he had seen a lot of 'outsiders' who had come from all over the world, and when he asked about this, not only was he not curious, but he had a hint of eagerness and enthusiasm—
It's as if I've caught a fat sheep that 'whoops'.
"Not bad."
As soon as he appeared, the rest of the aura gradually dissipated.
Song Qingxiao hooked the corners of her mouth slightly, vaguely understanding the origin of these people - this should be the reason why Su Wu said that if he wants to find Yunjin Baoyi Fang, it is easy to find it by asking at will.
She didn't even need to release the spiritual pressure, and someone with interest had already stepped forward to lead the way.
"I have been in this city for many years, and I know all the walks of life in this place very clearly, and the materials, pills, magic weapons, and charms that I sell are all clear, and if you have anything you need to know, I am willing to serve you."
"Who is in charge here, and are there any taboos?"
Su Wu refused to show up, and at this time, someone happened to come up, Song Qing thought carefully, and did not refuse this person's courtesy, and opened his mouth to ask.
Her attitude was not close and easy-going, but the young man's expression became more respectful, and he hurriedly followed her, speaking to her as he spoke.
The system of the Outer Heavens is similar to the Empire in some ways, and the Nine Heavenly City is nominally controlled by the Council, but in fact it is controlled by the Nine Great Clans behind the scenes.
Like the Empire, the inhabitants and merchants of the land paid taxes and were protected by the Parliament.
The Martial Arts Research Institute will set up branches in various parts of the Outer Heavens, and send samurai from the council to garrison them.
Killing, looting, and all illegal matters are prohibited on the surface, but in reality, such regulations can only restrain some people who can be restrained.
For cultivators and trialists who have changed their lives against the sky, everything speaks with strength.
The strong do not need to be bound by these terms, and even if they are strong enough, they can get a lot of special permissions.
"If you're new here, you can find a place to rent it temporarily." After the young man gave a general account of the situation in the Nine Heavens City, he continued:
"There are the largest houses in the metropolitan house, and the conditions are comfortable for outsiders to settle down temporarily."
He bent down and said respectfully:
"There is a lot of spiritual power there, and it is also very close to the markets of various places, and whenever some auction houses and the Xuandu family have something good, the people in the metropolitan house will greet them in advance."
For newcomers, it couldn't be more convenient.
"The conditions for registering for residence are also simple, as long as you show the corresponding strength, the higher the cultivation, the lower the rent, and even reach a certain level, not only does not need rent, but the Metropolitan Assembly will also give a subsidy to the subsidy."
When Song Qingxiao heard him say this, he had already vetoed this proposal in his heart without hesitation.
At first, it sounded like such a condition was indeed rich, but it was like a routine of the Martial Arts Research Institute to find out the trialists here in disguise, and this method was naturally very unsuitable for her.
"There's another way." The young man's brain was extremely flexible, and when he saw that Song Qingxiao's expression remained unchanged, he knew that she was not very satisfied with her proposal, and immediately lowered his voice and said:
"You can also rent additional housing in the spirit realm for you through some inconspicuous people."
Song Qingxiao couldn't help but smile slightly:
"Like you?"
The young man was not shy after being broken by her, and nodded very calmly:
"If you're lucky enough to do something for you, that's great."
He explained, "It's just that compared to the other courtyards provided by the Metropolitan House, the premises of the Spirit Realm are not so 'convenient'. "But both seclusion and seclusion are much better than the annexes provided by the Metropolitan House.
"After the lease is processed, the spirit domain will give a token, and this token needs to be activated by the occupant's soul to see the rented residence."
In other words, even if someone helps you rent a temporary habitat, even the person who helps will not know where the rented premises are until the token is activated.
In terms of privacy, it is indeed much better than the premises provided by the Tokyo Metropolitan Assembly, and it is also suitable for some trial people with deep pockets after arriving for the first time.
"There are special prohibitions in the houses of the Spirit Realm, and they are guarded by strong people. The courtyard is paved with spiritual stones, and there is a gathering spirit array, no matter whether you practice meditation, the effect is much better than that of ordinary places. ”
It's also in a good location, occupying the most abundant aura in this place.
The young man paused:
"There are no disadvantages other than being expensive."
When it came to money, Song Qingxiao's smile paused, but then he thought of his more than 60,000 points, and felt a lot more confident.
The young man would also observe the words, and when she saw that she mentioned that the price was expensive, she looked calm, and immediately felt that she had met a rich woman, and her face couldn't help showing a hint of joy.
He said some things in the Nine Heavens City, but Song Qingxiao didn't say anything, so he said it.
This person's cultivation is not high, but he may have been in the city all the year round, and some gossip is at his fingertips, which is really hard to say, but in general, it is enough to make Song Qingxiao's cognition of the Outer Heaven in addition to those brief words from Su Wu and full of prejudice against the Martial Arts Research Institute, he also has some additional understanding.
"Apart from Nine Heavens City, are there any notable events happening recently?"
Under the control of the Martial Arts Research Institute and the Shi Clan, there have been no major events in the Nine Heavens City recently, and even if there is, with this person's cultivation status, it is estimated that he will not dare to say it.
Song Qingxiao was patient, and let him talk whimsically for a long time, before finally asking him casually.
The young man's spirit perked up, as if he had thought of something, but he seemed to hesitate.
Seeing him like this, Song Qingxiao couldn't help but smile, took out a bag from his Qiankun bag, and threw it at the young man.
The young man was too busy to reach out and take it, and he didn't care about thanking him, so he opened the mouth of the bag first, and a stream of spiritual power came out of the bag.
The bag contained the five-element talisman, which came from the hand of Fan Jianghe, who was killed by Song Qingxiao at the beginning.
When she killed Fan Jianghe, Fan Jianghe had already reached the cultivation above the Dan realm, and the Five Elements Talisman she took out was even more powerful, which made her suffer a big loss.
After she received this talisman and kept it in the Qiankun bag, it didn't come in handy.
And as her cultivation increased, the trials became more and more dangerous, and the five-element talisman besieging the cultivation of the Dan Realm had lost its effect to her, and it was accumulated in her Qiankun bag.
This thing has no effect on Song Qingxiao, but for that young man, it is tantamount to a great good thing.
His cultivation was slightly stronger than the previous few auras, and he barely entered the realm of condensation, but there was still a long distance between him and the Dan realm.
And Fan Jianghe, as a descendant of the Fan family that day, had the support of a father who had turned into a baby, and the things he carried on his body were not ordinary things.
Although this five-element talisman has been destroyed by Song Qingxiao, it can still surround the cultivators below the Dan realm.
The young man couldn't help the surprise in his eyes, although he had already guessed that Song Qingxiao was worth a lot of money, but he didn't expect her to be so generous, and immediately carefully put away the things, and when he looked at Song Qingxiao again, his expression was much more sincere than before:
"I'll tell you the truth, a big incident has indeed happened recently, but it's not in the Nine Heavens City, but in the Hidden Realm."
After he said this, he added:
"It is said that there are three entrenched forces in the hidden realm, and they have all been attacked together."
