Chapter 157: The Situation in Hanhai City
On the vast ice and snow plain, an ancient and majestic black giant city sits there steadily, like a peerless beast crawling on the snow, which makes people's hearts palpitate.
I don't know why, in this ice secret realm where there are terrifying winds and snowstorms raging every night, there is no ice or snow cover on this giant city.
"Is this Hanhai City? Sure enough, it is the largest gathering point within a radius of thousands of miles!" Looking at the extremely eye-catching black giant city from afar, Chu Jingtian muttered in amazement.
Even from a distance, he could faintly hear the noise of the city, which gave him the illusion of returning to the big city outside.
At this point, fifteen days had passed since the gathering point before he left.
Under the crack of the ice field, he stayed for a full twelve days, until he practiced the Bone-Piercing Ice Palm to the fullest, and then it took him another three days to rush here.
And in the past ten days, in addition to the Bone Piercing Ice Palm Dacheng, due to the continuous input of spiritual energy into the body from the five acupoints, his strength has also been improved to the second stage of the True Qi Realm.
In the half year in the mine, he didn't have time to cultivate at all, although the continuous carving of runes and alchemy in the middle of half a year had increased his strength, but when he left the pit, his strength was only in the middle of the second level of the True Qi Realm.
But now, in just half a month, his strength has improved from the middle stage of the double to the late stage of the second stage.
Such a speed of improvement is enough to be amazing!
At the same time, he also felt that under the continuous nourishment of the aura, his body had become stronger and stronger, and his defensive ability had been significantly improved compared with before.
Even he judged that with his current physical strength, even if he resisted the full force of the first martial artist of the True Qi Realm, he would never be injured, at most he would only feel pain, and his strength would not be affected at all.
Chu Jingtian knew that there would be such a change, and it was the benefits of refining the body through the acupoints that began to appear.
And this multifaceted improvement also gave him a little more confidence in the battle that would happen in the future.
"Hanhai City, let me see how wonderful you are!"
The voice fell, Chu Jingtian's body moved, and Tianfeng stepped out as he wished, rushing towards the huge Hanhai City.
However, because he didn't want to attract too much attention, when he was still some distance away from Hanhai City, he deliberately slowed down his speed, otherwise with the terrifying speed of Tianfeng Ruyi, he was afraid that he would be noticed early.
In this Hanhai City, where there are really masters, it is not a wise thing to be noticed prematurely.
At this time, outside the city gate, there were constantly some people coming from different directions, and it seemed that they were all contestants from other gathering points.
And what made Chu Jingtian feel extremely surprised was that there were not too many people who entered the city, but after those people arrived at the huge city gate, they were all stopped.
"Ladies and gentlemen, our 'Treasure Raiders Alliance' found the treasure, it also cost a price, you are rushing here now when you hear the news, it is really a little unfair to us, however, our 'Treasure Raider Alliance' is not an unreasonable person, the treasure can live in it, if you want to enter the city, then each person will pay ten spirit stones. ”
Just when Chu Jingtian was puzzled, a voice infused with true qi came out from the position at the city gate.
Hearing this voice, Chu Jingtian was slightly stunned, there were people here who had discovered treasures, I don't know if the treasures found by these people were the same place as the ruins he knew.
And what shocked him even more was the strength of this 'Treasure Hunting Alliance'.
Hanhai City is the largest gathering point within a radius of thousands of miles, and the contestants who come here have not 10,000 but 8,000, how powerful a force is this to dare to charge entrance fees here?
"We don't know any news of the treasure at all, why do we have to hand over the spirit stone, and this is a public gathering point, you guys are too much!" In the crowd, someone immediately shouted out in dissatisfaction.
Ten spirit stones is not much, but for most people, it is also a lot of money.
"Hmph, you don't know now, but you will naturally know after entering the city, and when you know the news of the treasure, you dare to say that you will not go?
"Zhang Chao, don't talk nonsense with these people. At the gate of the city, another impatient voice sounded, "Let me tell you, our Treasure Hunting Alliance is an alliance led by six high-level third-grade sects, if you are not afraid of death, you can also rush forward, otherwise don't talk nonsense, hurry up and hand over the spirit stone, don't block the gate." ”
Hearing this, Chu Jingtian's eyes showed a strong look of shock.
The third-grade sects are also strong and weak, and the high-grade third-grade sects are the strongest of the third-grade sects, and the strength is not much worse than the weakest fourth-grade sects.
Six high-level third-grade sects take the lead, and there must be many sects of other grades under them, such a force is indeed enough to dominate this Hanhai City.
And after hearing the strength of the Treasure Hunting Alliance, everyone at the gate of the city reluctantly gave up the idea of resisting, took out the spirit stones, and lined up to prepare to enter the city.
Chu Jingtian also gently followed the back of the team, ten spirit stones were only insignificant, there was no need to clash with this treasure hunting alliance for such a few spirit stones.
After handing over the spirit stone, Chu Jingtian got a wooden card with a number written on it, which is a voucher for paying the spirit stone, with this, there is no need to hand in the spirit stone again when you enter and exit again.
In the city, all the buildings are made of a kind of black boulder, which looks extremely heavy and stable.
But most of the buildings are still dilapidated, which shows how much the city has changed.
The flow of people in the city is obviously much more than the previous gathering point, and the city looks quite lively.
After looking around, Chu Jingtian walked towards the place where the tallest building in the city was located, which was the meeting place he and Mo Zikun had agreed to meet.
Mo Zikun has been here for more than ten days, and he must find Mo Zikun to understand the situation here first, at least to find out what the treasure is about.
But what he didn't notice was that after he entered the city, at the gate of the city, two young men sitting there quickly stood up, one followed him, and the other got into the crowd and disappeared.
More than an hour later, Chu Jingtian stopped in front of a high tower.
"Brother Chu, you're here!" And as soon as he stopped, Mo Zikun greeted him, obviously waiting here.
Immediately, Mo Zikun took Chu Jingtian back to his current place - a somewhat dilapidated stone house.
"You're living here these days?" Chu Jingtian's brows furrowed slightly.
Although the house is still in good condition, there are many broken places, and it will definitely not be better at night.
"With my strength, it's good to have a place like this. Mo Zikun said with some self-deprecation.
His strength is the fourth level of the True Qi Realm, and at the previous gathering point, it was okay, but when he got here, it was really nothing.
Hearing this, Chu Jingtian also had some feelings, this is the rule of this secret realm, everything depends on strength.
Without dwelling too much on this issue, he said directly: "As soon as I entered the city, I heard about the treasures, as well as the Treasure Capture Alliance, what is the situation in this Hanhai City now, you tell me." ”
"Good. Mo Zikun responded. He knew that this was also Chu Jingtian's intention to let him come here in advance.
"At present, the total number of people in Hanhai City has exceeded 15,000, and this number is still increasing. And the news of the treasure came out only a few days ago, it is a ruin, in the mountains southwest of Hanhai City. ”
"It is said that it seems that a group of people who knew the location of the ruins and planned to explore it secretly, but they encountered a fierce beast in the mountain, a group of people and horses, only one of them barely escaped, and all the others died in the mountain.
And the person who escaped was also seriously injured, and in exchange for a life-saving elixir, he told the news. ”
Hearing this, Chu Jingtian smiled bitterly.
The location of the ruins that Mo Zikun said was exactly the same as the one he saw in the jade slip. It seems that Xia Ye should not be the only one who owns the jade map.
Mo Zikun continued: "As for the Treasure Hunting Alliance, it was also established only a few days ago, and it was led by the Falling Star Gate, the Cloud Smoke Sect, the Xuanyue Sect, the Blood Flame Valley, the Wind Cloud Pavilion, and the Beast Control Sect, these six high-level third-grade sects. ”
"Below them, there are also some third-grade sects and second-grade sects, and in the entire Treasure Hunting Alliance, there are nearly thirty sects, with a total number of more than three thousand. ”
"And the purpose of this alliance is to gather masters. ”
"According to the person who escaped, there were many powerful fierce beasts in that mountain range, and even the third-order fierce beasts comparable to the Condensation Realm were not a few. This is also the reason why the news of the ruins has been broken for so long, and no one has gone to hunt for treasures. ”
Chu Jingtian nodded, facing the third-order fierce beasts, no matter how many ordinary True Qi Realm martial artists there were, they were just cannon fodder, if they didn't gather some masters, these people wouldn't be able to walk in front of the ruins at all.
However, the more masters gathered, the more fierce the battle for treasures in the ruins will become, and the more difficult it will be if you want to get something
"In addition, there are some large and small forces in the city, but their strength is not comparable to that of the Treasure Raiders Alliance. ”
"However, there is one of them called the Seven Star Sect, you have to pay attention to it, this is the only high-grade third-grade sect in the entire Hanhai City that has not joined the Treasure Hunting Alliance. ”
"Other than that, it's nothing. Mo Zikun said.
Hearing this, Chu Jingtian nodded, this news is already very detailed.
And just as the two ended their conversation and were about to get some food to eat, a very arrogant voice came in from outside the house.
"Inside the house, is there a person surnamed Chu, who just entered the city today, get out of the ...... Lao Tzu?"
