Chapter 61: Heavenly Fire City
Gradually moving away from Qingyunmen, Fang Zixuan sped up his trip, and went down the mountain alone, Fang Zixuan didn't have the heart to enjoy the scenery along the road.
Three months later, Fang Zixuan came to the outside of a town, and saw the three big characters of Tianhuo City engraved on the city gate from a distance.
From the information learned from Qingyunmen, the people in this Tianhuo City are not ordinary people, but martial artists, because there is a medium-sized demon beast mountain range nearby, which is full of demon beasts from the demon master realm and the demon soldier realm, where there is a demon beast mountain range, where there are martial artists, so after a long time, a town has been formed. What's more, this place does not belong to any sect, and in a sense, it can be regarded as a place for scattered cultivation.
However, this is not to say that those nearby sects do not want to occupy this demon beast mountain range, but this is a junction area, and no sect wants other sects to occupy it, so in the end, it is simply given to scattered cultivation, which can be regarded as a place for the disciples in their own sect to practice, anyway, there are so many demon beast mountain ranges in the sect, one more is not more, and one less is not less.
Approaching the city gate, Fang Zixuan saw that the city gate here was not one, but two, the one on the left entered, and the one on the right exited, so although many people entered and exited in broad daylight, it did not seem crowded and chaotic.
Seeing this situation, Fang Zixuan couldn't help but praise: The people who manage this town still have brains, and they can let people enter and exit separately, otherwise if they are all crowded at one gate to enter and exit, according to the temperament of these warriors, it is estimated that it is easy to start fighting without saying a word. Although it can be suppressed, but if there is always fighting, it will become a chaotic city, so there will naturally be fewer people here, and the warriors are not afraid of fighting, but they will be frightened from morning to night, and no one can stand it.
Those who go out of the city don't have to pay money, but those who enter the city have to pay ten lower grade spirit stones, which is not much for Fang Zixuan, but for some casual cultivators, it can be regarded as a small property, you must know that the disciples of the Qingyunmen martial arts realm only have ten lower grade spirit stones a month.
After queuing for a while, it was finally Fang Zixuan's turn, Fang Zixuan handed over ten lower grade spirit stones and entered the city.
As soon as he entered the city, Fang Zixuan's ears suddenly became noisy. At this time, Fang Zixuan found that the town of the warrior was actually similar to that of ordinary people: a big road in the city ran through the north and south, and there were some shops and restaurants on both sides, of course, there were also some places where a large vacant land was vacated for some people to set up stalls.
Looking at the people coming and going on both sides, Fang Zixuan sighed for a while, whether it is an ordinary person or a martial artist, they are essentially human beings, but the martial artist has the powerful power endowed by heaven and earth, but this does not affect the martial artist to act according to human habits, such as the architectural style and living habits in front of him.
Fang Zixuan casually found a restaurant called Nature Residence.
Seeing Fang Zixuan enter the door, a person dressed as a shopkeeper immediately came up, and said to Fang Zixuan with a smile: "This guest officer, please come inside." ”
"Find me a window spot. Fang Zixuan said.
"Okay. After speaking, the shopkeeper took Fang Zixuan to a small table by the window.
"This guest officer, please take a seat. The shopkeeper said with a smile.
After seeing Fang Zixuan sit down, the shopkeeper took out a piece of jade slip from the storage ring and put it in front of Fang Zixuan's eyes and asked, "This is objective, this is a menu, what do you order?"
Looking at this familiar scene, Fang Zixuan couldn't help but feel a little distracted.
The shopkeeper looked at the good guy in front of him and suddenly got a little distracted, so he asked again: "Guest officer, what do you want?"
Fang Zixuan came back to his senses at this time, picked up the jade slip and looked at it for a while, and said, "Bring me two signature dishes, a pot of spirit bar." ”
The shopkeeper replied and retreated.
The food didn't come up so quickly, so Fang Zixuan looked at the people coming and going outside the window, as well as the occasional shouting or two from the stall.
Some of the people below are dressed in ordinary appearances, no different from the people in Fangjia Town, but there are some obvious fierce faces, and those with weapons on their bodies, looking at these people, it makes people feel that this is a town of warriors.
Soon, the shopkeeper came up with two plates of dishes, put the dishes on the table, and then took out a pot of wine from the storage ring and said, "Guest officer, this is the dish you ordered, please use it slowly." ”
After speaking, the shopkeeper was about to turn around and leave.
Fang Zixuan said: "This shopkeeper, don't leave yet, I have something I want to ask you." ”
Hearing this, the shopkeeper who was about to leave stopped, turned around and asked, "I don't know what this one wants to ask? I, Mu San, have lived in this Heavenly Fire City for so long, and I am a well-known bag to inquire." Merely....... ”
This shop called Mu San is a small second road, so I won't stop here.
Fang Zixuan saw that Mu San wanted to say that he was going to rest, so he took out ten lower-grade spirit stones from the storage ring and put them on the table, and said, "Is it enough?"
Mu San looked at the ten lower-grade spirit stones and said with a smile: "Enough is enough." ”
As he spoke, he quickly took the ten lower-grade spirit stones and put them into the storage ring.
"If there is any question, the guest officer can ask. Mu San said with a smile.
"It's nothing special, I've just arrived, and I want to know about the situation in this Heavenly Fire City. Fang Zixuan didn't hide it, after all, as soon as he heard Fang Zixuan's question, he knew that Fang Zixuan was an outsider, otherwise he wouldn't have asked some things that could almost be said to be well-known.
It is estimated that this question has been asked many times, so Mu San opened his mouth without thinking about it: "This Heavenly Fire City is owned by the Scattered Cultivation Alliance, and there is a Heavenly Volcano nearby, which is full of demon beasts from the Demon Master Realm and the Demon Soldier Realm, as well as various elixirs and spirit mines, so there are a lot of Scattered Cultivation robbers gathered here." Outside the city, the guest officer, you have also seen that when you enter the city, you have to pay three lower grade spirit stones, but these three lower grade spirit stones are not paid in vain, this fee will eventually be handed over to the Loose Cultivation Alliance, the advantage is that after you enter the city, you don't have to worry about safety, there are rules in the city, no one is allowed to fight in the city, if you have to do it, go to the Scattered Cultivation Alliance to hand over the spirit stones and then go to the martial arts platform. Otherwise, if you pay the spirit stone and enter the city, you still have to worry about being attacked, then what fee do you have to pay? What city do you enter? Forget it directly outside the city. ”
"Oh, how is the situation of this Scattered Cultivation Alliance?" Fang Zixuan asked.
"Speaking of this Loose Cultivation Alliance, it is the strongest organization in this area, and many Loose Cultivators have their names there, where you can take over the task, or give the harvested Demon Beast Inner Dan, elixir spirit ore or something to the Loose Cultivation Alliance in exchange for contribution points, and then exchange for other resources. Of course, you can also sell it yourself without handing it in, so that the price will be higher. However, the advantage of handing in is that you can exchange these contribution points for some things that can't be bought on the market, such as pills and spirit soldiers, these two are in short supply in Tianhuo City, and you should also know that it is not easy to cultivate Dan refiners in a loose manner. It can be said that the Scattered Cultivation Alliance has monopolized more than sixty percent of the resources here. And at the beginning of this scattered cultivation alliance, there were three alliance masters, but now it is unknown how many, the cultivation of the alliance leader is heard to be at least in the realm of military generals, and the hall master elders below can only serve in the late stage of martial arts or the realm of martial arts completion. Mu San said eloquently.
"What kind of cultivation do the people who come here usually have?" Fang Zixuan continued to ask.
"This is simple, basically people in the martial arts realm are the mainstay, there are also some people in the martial arts realm, and there are very few people in the martial arts realm, because if there is a martial arts realm, either you will be the leader of the alliance, or you will go to another place, the resources and environment of that place are suitable for those who pursue strength, otherwise you are a military general mixed with a bunch of people in the martial arts realm, how can there be any progress at all?" Mu San said in a low voice.
"Hehe, it seems that you are kind, and you dare to say this, but what you say is really reasonable. What's going on with those shops and stalls outside?" asked Fang Zixuan.
"Oh, those, those who have enough spirit stones can rent a shop outside, and those who don't have enough spirit stones can only set up a small stall, most people go to the store to buy a lot of things, only those poor ghosts and people who want to try their luck will go to the stall to buy goods. Mu San said with some disdain.
"Well, okay, it's nothing, you can go. Fang Zixuan said.
"Guest, if you have anything to know, you can come to me. After Mu San finished speaking, he walked away.
Fang Zixuan drank wine while eating demon beast meat, but he was thinking about his future plans: It seems that Tianshan is dominated by people from the martial arts realm and the martial arts realm, and it is not a big problem to be careful yourself, the key is not to be besieged by people in the martial arts realm.
After eating and drinking, and after settling the bill, Fang Zixuan went to the natural residence, but he didn't plan to leave the city immediately, but walked around this Tianhuo City first.
Walking on the road, feeling the aura emanating from passers-by, Fang Zixuan found that Mu San's words were really not wrong, at least on the surface, most of them were people in the martial arts realm, and occasionally mixed with some people in the martial arts realm, but the aura was weaker than those yellow-clothed youths in Qingyunmen who were also in the martial arts realm. The people in the city are in this realm, and the people in the heavenly volcano are estimated to be almost the same, of course, this can only be regarded as a reference, just a reference, Fang Zixuan warned himself.
When he came to the stall, Fang Zixuan took a look and found that they were basically selling some first-grade elixir spirit ores, and occasionally there were some second-grade elixir spirit ores, first-order spirit soldiers or something, and they were really some low-level goods. There are also some objects that look a little old and dilapidated, and the stall owner said that they were dug up from the tomb of King Wuhou Wu, of course, saying so, believe it or not, it's up to you.
Fang Zixuan didn't know anything about this, so he didn't see the reason, so he had to walk away.
When Fang Zixuan walked to the center of the city, he saw a big platform and asked passers-by, only to know that this was the martial arts platform mentioned by Mu Sankou.
Seeing that it was getting late, Fang Zixuan found an inn to live in, and asked for five lower grade spirit stones for one night. It doesn't seem to be expensive, but if you try to live here for a few months, it will not be a small amount for ordinary people, of course, Fang Zixuan is not stressful, and he will consume sixty lower-grade spirit stones to cultivate the Five Holy Techniques by himself, which is enough to live here for half a month
After casually eating some demon beast meat, Fang Zixuan entered the room.
I walked around for a day today, and I didn't find anyone fighting in the city, it seems that what Mu San said, it is very likely that private fights in the city are forbidden, otherwise with the appearance of those people I saw today, there is no shortage of some arrogant people, so many arrogant people are mixed in this city, and there is no dispute and fighting, and it is impossible to suppress it without strong regulations.
So Fang Zixuan closed the doors and windows, took out sixty lower-grade spirit stones from the storage ring, placed a small gathering spirit array, and continued to cultivate the Five Holy Techniques.
In this place that seems to be calm on the surface, but is actually a hidden murderous motive, a little more strength will be strengthened, and his life will be more guaranteed, but Fang Zixuan didn't dare to put all his mind into cultivation, saying that he couldn't fight privately, but if everyone died, then what else was there to say? Therefore, when Fang Zixuan was cultivating, he set aside a small part of his mind to pay attention to the movements around him. As a result, Fang Zixuan's cultivation speed was a little slower.
When Fang Zixuan had absorbed the aura of these sixty lower-grade spirit stones, it was already the middle of the night. Thankfully, there were no accidents.
Fang Zixuan then lay down and went to bed, of course, he still didn't dare to sleep too deeply. The knife was not taken out, because now Fang Zixuan's strongest was not the Tianluo Sword Technique, but the Wind Chasing Fist under the urging of the fist intent.
When I woke up, it was almost noon.
Fang Zixuan walked out of the house, washed his face with cold water in the courtyard, and then walked out of the courtyard.
In fact, the inn also has something to eat, but it is not as rich as the dishes that specialize in restaurants in the natural residence, Fang Zixuan didn't care, he ate something casually, bought three more demon beast meat and put it in the storage ring, and walked out of the inn and walked towards the city gate.
Leaving the city gate was much faster than entering the city, and Fang Zixuan walked out of Tianhuo City smoothly. Looking at the tall Heavenly Volcano in the distance, Fang Zixuan quickened his pace.
From the moment he stepped into the Heavenly Volcano, Fang Zixuan only felt that his mood was a little agitated, there were three people who went to Xiaozhong Mountain before, but this time he was alone, and he was facing not only demon beasts, but also martial artists whose cultivation was higher than his own, and this threat was greater than those powerful demon beasts.
Although many people entered the Heavenly Volcano from Heavenly Fire City, the Heavenly Volcano was too big, and after these people from Heavenly Fire City entered the Heavenly Volcano, it was like a stone sinking into a lake, and they were quickly separated from everyone else, unless it was those who entered from the same place.
Fang Zixuan also spared a small circle, and saw that there were no people around him who had entered the Heavenly Volcano.
This is also the practice of most people, to minimize the possibility of being tracked. Because once you enter the Sky Volcano, the likelihood of you spotting the stalker is significantly reduced. The mountains here are high and dense, and there are monsters infested, so it is not difficult to follow a person.
On the way, Fang Zixuan found some traces of weapons on some big trees, but those traces looked a little old, and some were slightly new, Fang Zixuan couldn't help but be secretly careful: the Heavenly Volcano was indeed a chaotic place.
