From the Yuanzhou Sea to the Yuanzhou Continent, Jing Xingzhi has gone through it all over, with him, the three of them are familiar with the road, sometimes with the help of the teleportation array, sometimes flying across the sea, but for more than ten days, point com

Fortunately, the Wonju mainland is still east of the Wonju Sea, and there is no abnormality.

"Yuanzhou is different from the Heavenly Pole in the clouds, there is no mortal country, and there are few immortal cultivation sects." Jing Xingzhi said, "There are only immortal cities here, whether they are mortals or monks, they all rely on immortal cities. This sounds somewhat similar to the Northern Lin Kingdom in the clouds, but it is different.

These immortal cities have strict hierarchical city rules, and the individual monks are insignificant, unlike the Demon Domain of the Beilin Kingdom, which relies on personal prestige to build cities.

"The monk is insignificant?" Mo Tiange raised his eyebrows and asked, "Isn't even the Yuanying Cultivator nothing?" ”

"Of course not that." Jing Xingzhi said, "But the Yuanying Monk, in the Immortal City of the Yuanzhou Continent, only has the corresponding rights and obligations, and everything must be done according to the rules of the city, unlike Tianji and Yunzhong, which have an independent and transcendent status. ”

"That's ...... like this"

Mo Tiange and Qin Xi both heard of this kind of thing for the first time. The monks of the Heavenly Pole, since the beginning of cultivating immortals, have been instilled with the concept of respect for the strong, and those who cultivate to the high can determine the fate of those who cultivate to the low. This kind of rule that the rules of the city are supreme, and the Yuanying Monk is no exception, is unbelievable to them.

Jing Xingzhi continued: "The immortal city of the Yuanzhou continent, it is said that the city rules are strict, on the other hand, it is quite loose, as long as the rules are completed, the immortal city will not care what the monks do themselves, even if there is a conflict with other immortal city monks, most of them are privately resolved. ”

"Such a strange ......" sounds like it is neither as hierarchical as the government, nor as closely related as the sects and families, but between the two, purely united by interests.

"Yes, when the department first arrived in Yuanzhou, I was also surprised." Jing Xingzhi said, "In addition, all the immortal cities in Yuanzhou belong to a single alliance, called the Yuanzhou Business Alliance. ”

"Business Alliance? Is Wonju's business prosperous? ”

"No, Yuanzhou is a well-known merchant continent, with shops everywhere, and there are many merchants who travel between the continents and sell all kinds of goods. In Yuanzhou, the status of businessmen is very high, unlike Tianji and Yunzhong, how much net worth is, it will only be coveted, and only cultivation is the most practical. ”

A thought turned in Qin Xi's mind: "In this way, as long as you have money, you can buy many rare things in Yuanzhou?" ”

"Yes, the people of Yuanzhou claim that as long as you have money, you can buy anything - of course, this is an exaggeration, but Yuanzhou is indeed easier to buy rare things than other places."

After learning the general situation of Yuanzhou from Jing Xingzhikou, Mo Tiange and Qin Xi had a general understanding of Yuanzhou. However, a few days later, when they arrived at Changling City, the largest immortal city in eastern Yuanzhou, the two of them still opened their eyes.

Yuanzhou is much smaller than Yunzhong, the resources of cultivating immortals are not rich, and the population is large, at the beginning, the monks living in Yuanzhou had a very difficult life. However, they had a lively mind and came up with such a way, going back and forth to the major roads, selling various items and earning a lot of spirit stones. Over time, merchants became the tradition of Yuanzhou, and Yuanzhou's wealth far exceeded that of a continent rich in products like Yunzhong.

Today's Yuanzhou mainly has five immortal cities. The most central is the Yuanzhou City where the Yuanzhou Business Alliance is located, with Changling City in the east, Luomei City in the west, Xiangyang City in the south, and Lingxiao City in the north. These five immortal cities are the most prosperous places in Yuanzhou, and they are also the places where the Yuanzhou Business Alliance is the most powerful.

Similar to the city rules of Xiancheng, the Yuanzhou Business Alliance did not have direct command power over the subordinate Xiancheng, they were a loose organization united by interests. The personnel of the business alliance are sent by the representatives of each immortal city to form a chamber of commerce, and each immortal city will deliver spirit stones to the business alliance as operating expenses. This fee is not much, and the accounts are all open, and all immortal cities can check their accounts regardless of their power.

The major immortal cities of Yuanzhou, under the organization of the business alliance, are united, communicate with each other, and advance and retreat together, therefore, the business market in Yuanzhou is well organized, and there is rarely a chaotic price and unclear buying and selling. Moreover, it is precisely because of the existence of the Shang Alliance that they negotiate with the big forces in the clouds and have an equal status.

Entering Changling City, Mo Tiange and Qin Xi knew why Yuanzhou was known as the Merchant Continent. The entire Changling City is actually a huge market, with crowds of people rubbing shoulders, bustling streets, and shops and shouting everywhere. Many valuable materials in the heavens and even in the clouds were casually placed outside.

Mo Tiange saw with his own eyes that on the stall of a Qi refining cultivator, there were full of pills. This is unimaginable in the Heavenly Pole, the pill is already scarce for the monk, not to mention that this person only has Qi refining and cultivation, and there are so many valuable things, it is easy to make people greedy. In Tianji, when Sanxiu sells pills, they all put one or two bottles on display, and most of them only have one or two bottles.

In addition, the three of them were all Yuanying monks, and they did not restrain their aura, so they came together, but no one looked sideways, these low-level monks were just polite when they arrived.

After roughly looking at the situation in Changling City, Mo Tiange asked, "Where can we inquire about the news?" ”

"Naturally, it's going to the City Lord's Mansion." Jing Xing stopped, "Although this Yuanzhou is based on the rules of interests, it is useless to cultivate to a high level. ”

There is no way for the low-ranking monks to get some news, so they can only ask the high-ranking monks. And the high-ranking monks, of course, are in the City Lord's Mansion.

The three of them traveled all the way and soon arrived at the City Lord's Mansion.

The City Lord's Mansion in Changling City is not very gorgeous, and the style is mainly simple, but they can all see that the prohibition of the City Lord's Mansion is very clever, and it is by no means an ordinary goods.

"Three seniors, what's the matter?" Seeing them coming, the guards of the City Lord's Mansion asked politely.

These guards, only the foundation building cultivation, but in front of them, these Yuanying monks, they are neither humble nor arrogant.

Although Jing Xingzhi did not return the courtesy, his attitude was polite: "We are here to find a fellow Taoist, please arrange one or two with a little Taoist friend." As he spoke, he handed over two mid-rank spirit stones in his hand.

"I see." The foundation building monk took his spirit stone openly, and said with a smile, "Thank you seniors for the reward, a few seniors, please come with me." ”

Mo Tiange and Qin Xi were a little surprised. Is that okay? If they had bad intentions, wouldn't they easily sneak into the City Lord's Mansion?

Looking at Jing Xingzhi, his face was calm and waveless. The two of them thought, maybe this is the custom of Yuanzhou?

Following the guard into the city lord's mansion, a neatly dressed monk who looked like a steward came to receive him, and under the leadership of the monk, the three of them arrived in a small hall.

Ordering the servants to bring tea, the monk politely saluted the three of them: "The intention of the three seniors has been reported by the juniors, and after a while, there will be elders who will come to receive them, seniors, please wait here." ”

Jing Xingzhi nodded, and also threw him two mid-grade spirit stones as a reward.

When the monk retreated, there were only three people in the small hall, and Mo Tiange asked, "Why did you come in so easily, since it is the City Lord's Mansion, shouldn't you be more guarded?"

Jing Xingzhi shook his head and said, "What's the use of being heavily guarded? In Wonju, no one would fight the idea of the city lord's mansion. ”

"Why?"

"Because it's useless!" Jing Xingzhi said, "Take the city?" What's the use of taking it? Every monk, including the lord of the city, must be bound by the rules of the city, and only by doing the corresponding things can he be paid accordingly, which is a tradition in Yuanzhou for tens of thousands of years. Since being a city lord is no different from doing casual cultivation, why take the city? ”

"What if there is a personal grudge?" Qin Xi asked, "In this way, wouldn't it be easy for people to be mixed in?" ”

Jing Xingzhi smiled: "Yuanzhou's Xiancheng doesn't care about any personal grievances, everyone's affairs have to be handled by themselves." Moreover, are you really like tofu as the lord of this city? The prohibition here is not simple, and if you come in, you have to be controlled by others. ”

Hearing this, Mo Tiange nodded: "Yes, although I don't know what the prohibition is, it is really powerful." ”

As they spoke, the three of them felt that there was a monk approaching outside, and the momentum was strong, it should be the Yuanying monk.

Sure enough, not long after, a thin-faced monk in his thirties stepped through the door.

This monk was in the early stage of cultivation, looking at his face, he should not be very old, his expression was peaceful, and the corners of his mouth were smiling.

His gaze swept over the three of them, a little surprised, and arched his hand: "In the Lower Changling City, Elder Yan Feng, I have seen three Daoists. ”

Mo Tiange and the three of them each got up to return the salute and reported their names.

After seeing the ceremony, the monk named Yan Feng sat down opposite the three of them and asked with a smile: "Three Taoist friends, this is the first time you have come to Changling City, right?" But don't know what you need help with? ”

Mo Tiange and Qin Xi were not very familiar with the affairs of Yuanzhou, so Jing Xingzhi came forward. He said, "Elder Yan is polite, I can't hide it, we did encounter some troubles. ”

"Oh? Daoyou said. ”

Jing Xing stopped: "First of all, I would like to ask, a few months ago, there was a tsunami suddenly in Guixu Sea, does Elder Yan know?" ”

Yan Feng nodded: "Not bad." The low-level monks may not know about this matter, but no one knows about my high-level monks in Yuanzhou. ”

Hearing this, Jing Xingzhi's eyes flashed with excitement, and he asked, "So, there should be something abnormal about the tsunami in the Guixu Sea?" ”

Yan Feng didn't answer immediately, his gaze swept over the three of them again, and he suddenly smiled: "I can probably guess why the three Daoists came here - the three Daoists are cultivators in the clouds, right?" ”

Jing Xingzhi didn't answer yes or no, but praised Yan Feng: "Elder Yan really has a sharp mind. Even so, I also told the truth, I waited for the three of us, a few months ago in Guixuhai, but after the tsunami, I lost my way and found Yuanzhou Sea. This matter is incredible, I simply came to Yuanzhou to see what happened. ”

"Hehe," Yan Feng laughed, "Sure enough." We haven't released any news about this yet, but the three Daoists are all Yuanying monks, so there's nothing to say. ”

He paused for a moment and said, "That tsunami didn't just happen in Guixu Sea, Yuanzhou Sea had heavy rain at the same time. After a few days, the wind and rain subsided, and we found that Wonju had moved to a different location along with the surrounding sea. ”
