Chapter 145: Laixiang City
Chu Lingyu called out the group of people around him again, took them to the gravity space, and started further physical training. The disciples recruited by the Tianyu Adventure Group and the disciples of Ling Tiange also began to come to Chu'an Island to cultivate in batches with excellent performance. With personnel and resources, both sides are preparing to build a city, and under appropriate conditions, the two cities will appear in people's sight at the same time.
"Ruomei, Jiji, we're going to go to Nanxiangzhou once!"
All affairs were going on in an orderly manner, and Chu Lingyu decided to fulfill his promise to the two of them and go to Nanxiangzhou to find their parents. Lao Qian finally ended this retreat, had a solid body, and often left Qianliding to chat and drink with Li Daochang, and Zijin followed Lao Qian very doggedly, constantly eating and drinking.
"Zijin, we're going to Nanxiangzhou, do you follow me or stay here with Lao Qian?" Chu Lingyu asked.
"Of course I'm following you, going to the place where the spirit beasts gather, how can I do without me?" Zijin said in a sneer.
"I go too, you can't always leave me at home. I have the strength of a real Mahayana monk!" Qi Qian stopped doing it, and he had to follow. He is different from Zijin, he is the body, and Zijin is just a divine soul, he is much lower than Zijin in terms of bloodline, but he is more than Zijin in terms of fighting.
"What's the cow? If my body is here, it's your turn, nasty rabbit!"
"Who do you say is a rabbit!" Qi Li was anxious, he hated others being called rabbits the most! "Lao Tzu is a descendant of a divine beast, a dragon!"
"Cut! It's just a rabbit with fangs, and it's not as good as a red-eyed rabbit!"
"You have the ability, you come out!Let's fight!" Qi Qian shouted angrily.
"Xiao Zijin, can you change this stinky problem, you will be disgusting when you speak, it's really underwhelming!" Lao Qian taught him.
"Hehehe, boss, I'm not bored, just kidding. Okay, okay, Lord Immortal Beast Qilin, don't be angry. "Zijin served Lao Qian, what did he say, I don't know how Lao Qian cleaned him up back then.
"Are you still bored? If you weren't bored, those disciples who came to train would have gone crazy a long time ago, right?" Chu Lingyu knew that Zijin was in the name of training, but he tossed this group of disciples miserably, and the big guy didn't know that he was a transformed divine beast, so he only thought that he was a trainer arranged by Chu Lingyu.
"It's boring to keep playing with these little guys!"
Chu Lingyu took Zijin, Qi Li, Xiao Ruomei, Ji Ji and Xiaoxue on the journey to South Xiangzhou.
Set up a flying boat, galloping in the direction of Nanxiangzhou, from here to Nanxiangzhou, you need to go south along the west side of the Luoxing Sea, and the time of a month will come, Chu Lingyu asked his younger brother Lingyun to preside over the affairs of Xiqianzhou, and agreed with them to rush back within a year.
Along the way, I stopped and encountered a lot of sea tribe populations on the sea, some kind and some fierce, and several people grew a lot of knowledge. With Qi Li following, the journey was safe, and they soon came to a city on the edge of Nanxiangzhou owned by humans and spirit beasts.
The more advanced the bloodline of the spirit beast, the later it will transform into shape, there are many spirit beasts with ordinary bloodlines that can transform in hundreds of years, while some take thousands or even tens of thousands of years.
Spirit beasts occupy an absolute dominance in Southern Xiangzhou, and it is commonplace for humans to be bullied or even enslaved here. The spirit beasts are protected by the beast kings of various races, and as long as they are bullied by human monks, the spirit beasts of all races will work together to clean up these humans. However, they also did not prohibit spirit beasts from becoming contractual partners with humans, and sometimes becoming partners with humans would cause spirit beasts to get a lot of resources and speed up their cultivation. The population of spirit animals is also the weak and the strong, fighting constantly, fighting for territory, water, and spiritual veins, bullying the weak, and can be seen everywhere.
There are not many human monks in Nanxiangzhou, mainly in exchange for the specialties here, and some monks are looking for contract partners to enhance their strength. Everywhere there are dark forces, and some unscrupulous monks cooperate with the murderous races of spirit beasts, selling humans and spirit beasts to each other as slaves for drive.
Most spirit beasts don't like humans, because they can't refine pills and refining weapons, so after the spirit beasts with low blood lines transform into shapes, they prefer to get the magic weapons and pills of human monks to improve their strength, so there are several cities on the edge of Nanxiang Continent that are jointly managed by humans and spirit beasts.
The city they went to was called Laixiang City, and there were monks in strange costumes who came in and out, and they couldn't tell whether it was a human or a shape-shaped spirit beast.
There are also many beast-shaped spirit beasts that can communicate in human language, most of them are high-level spirit beasts, they are proud of their bloodline, and they don't like to transform into human appearance, so they like to walk around in their ontological image. However, they are still influenced by the human mind, and they are embarrassed to expose key parts, and will wear a robe or a small dress to cover it, which is funny and ridiculous.
"Hehehe! Look at that guy, he's dressed like a lantern! Oops! And there's a long-eared rabbit in a dress! Hahahaha!"
As soon as he heard the rabbit, Qi Qian glared at Zijin viciously, and he was about to go crazy. Chu Lingyu hurriedly locked Zijin in the box first, so as not to let this nasty guy speak again.
"Master, next time I must beat this guy!"
"Okay, you dissipate your anger, I'll help you beat him next time!" Seeing Qi Li's face turn dark, Chu Lingyu hurriedly coaxed.
Xiao Ruomei couldn't help but be curious, looking at these all kinds of monks and all kinds of shops, she really had a long insight!
"Brother, Xiaoxue and I found a lot of people in cages. Gigi and Xiaoxue can swagger around here, and the two guys come back in a circle and immediately start gossiping.
The little white fox Xue'er immediately nodded in agreement: "Many, many, many! β
It must be human traffickers, these unconscionable guys, who actually buy and sell their own kind like goods. Since they dare to do such a business, they must have a strong guarantee of strength or the support of strong local forces, even if they have the intention to save people, they cannot act rashly.
"Let's observe it and then talk about it, first go to the place where the news is sold and ask about the situation of the Fire Phoenix Clan. Chu Lingyu took Xiao Ruomei and a few people to a place called "Spirit Rest Pavilion".
This is a somewhat old shop, dark brown wooden doors and windows, the outside looks like a very small faΓ§ade, only to find that there is a hole in the inside, the middle is a spiraling wooden ladder upstairs, the periphery is actually a row of cabinets, each grid is placed in some signs, the Lingxi Building has a total of three floors, roughly like this.
The building was dimly lit and empty. There was only one old man sitting behind the counter, squinting his eyes to recuperate, Chu Lingyu couldn't see through his cultivation, that was at least the cultivation of the Tribulation Period, he didn't expect that such a master was hidden in a small city in Nanxiangzhou.
"Old man, we want to buy news. Chu Lingyu said to him.
"Well, for the first time, I'll introduce you to the news: the first floor, 10,000 spirit stones, the second floor, 50,000 spirit stones, and the third floor, 100,000 spirit stones. Calculate by pressing the spirit stone. If you don't have it here, I can tell you that you will receive 500,000 yuan, and if you can't tell you, you won't take a penny. β
The old man looked at them and said, "What do you want to know? β
This is really interesting, Chu Lingyu and the others began to rummage through those signs, which were either the names of various races, or the names of various spiritual objects, or the names of places, the names of a certain person, and so on.
From the first floor to the third floor, Chu Lingyu saw the rat clan, the rabbit clan, the wolf clan and even the fox clan, etc., but he didn't find any news about the Fire Phoenix Clan. However, Chu Lingyu saw a place name called the Fire God Tomb on the third floor, and he was a little interested, so he took it down.
"Got it?"
"Old man, the message I want is not on the sign, I want to ask you if there is anything here?"
"Oh, then, I'll listen. β
"I want to know the news of the Fire Phoenix Clan, I don't know if there is any?"
The old man's eyes moved, opened a slit, looked at them, and stayed on Qi Qian and Xiao Ruomei for a moment.
"Fire Phoenix Clan, we know very little about this race, we only know that they are not the original race on this continent, they are the Hidden Spirit Race, and they are the most mysterious one of the Hidden Spirit Clan, where they are now, how many people they have, what habits or cultivation, I don't know.
The news that you bought this Vulcan Tomb can be regarded as a gift just now!"
"Thank you, uncle, I also want to ask a question, do you know when was the last time there was news of the Fire Phoenix Clan?"
The old man pondered for a while, as if searching from his memory: "About twenty years ago, it was said that the little princess of the Fire Phoenix Clan disappeared, and there was news that the Fire Phoenix Clan people appeared in Nanxiangzhou to look for it, as for whether I found it or not, I still don't know." Even the news of the little princess's disappearance, I'm not sure if it's true or not. β
The time coincides with the appearance of Xiao Ruomei's mother, maybe the little princess is Xiao Ruomei's mother.
"Where did the news of the appearance of the Fire Phoenix Clan appear?" Chu Lingyu asked again.
"It seems to be near the Red Flame Mountains, oh, not far from the Vulcan Tomb. The old man replied.
"Thank you, uncle, this is a spirit stone, take out 600,000 spirit stones, Chu Lingyu handed the storage ring to the old man together.
The old man put away the ring and handed him a jade slip, "This is the detailed news of the Fire God Tomb, you can read it slowly." β
Xiao Ruomei was looking at a picture in the store in a daze at this time, Chu Lingyu didn't pay attention to it, behind the dim counter, there was a circular decorative picture as large as an umbrella cover, on which was waving the shape of a reddish-brown bird: seven feathers on the head, a slender and soft neck, a red body, and two long colorful tail feathers. Isn't this the phoenix of ancient Chinese legends? The phoenix has many colors, and this red phoenix is also known as the fire phoenix, which is ranked as a sacred bird, and this has nothing to do with the fire phoenix clan?
Xiao Ruomei quietly looked at the fire phoenix in the picture, as if she saw something, her expression was happy for a while, worried for a while, and surprised for a while. After a few moments, her attention shifted back from the picture, and she was a little embarrassed to see everyone looking at her. "Master, I'm distracted. β
"Do you feel any difference in this picture?" asked Chu Lingyu.
