Chapter 21: Entering the City
The Mengtian Continent is mainly divided by three major forces, namely the Great Liao Empire, which occupies two-thirds of the area of the Mengtian Continent, and the Renyan Empire, which occupies part of the northern part of Mengtian, and a large area of entrenched southern land that is managed by the Miao people in southern Xinjiang.
Among them, the Great Liao Empire has been fighting with the Renyan Empire all the year round, but in most cases it ends in the defeat of the Great Liao Empire, because the people of the Renyan Empire are all fierce by nature, and they are not afraid of death when they fight, and they are united, and the people of the entire empire are fanatical about cultivation, and the overall cultivation of the soldiers is higher than that of the Great Liao Empire, so they can often win more with less.
It is said that the current emperor of the Renyan Empire, Lu Chengtian, is a master at the peak of the Mortal Realm, and in the past two years, there are rumors that he wants to impact the realm of refining immortals, and more importantly, the Great Liao Empire is also divided into two factions, one faction believes that the Renyan Empire should be conquered in the north and the southern Xinjiang tribes should be destroyed in the south, and the other faction believes that the empire has been in ruins for many years and should recuperate for a long time.
As for the many lands in southern Xinjiang, it is not that the Great Liao Empire and the Renyan Empire are not greedy, first, in addition to the deep-rooted management of many tribes in southern Xinjiang, the strength is also very strong, and the second is that southern Xinjiang is barren, even if this large piece of land is obtained, ordinary crops cannot be planted at all, and there are many mosquitoes in southern Xinjiang, which is not too suitable for the people of Daliao to live, so it is naturally a pity to abandon it because it is a bit tasteless.
If there is one word to describe the Great Liao Empire, it is that it is unimaginably big! It is so large that it is difficult for the empire to completely and effectively govern such a large piece of land, so except for most of the territory in the middle of the empire that is directly controlled by the empire, there are many other places that are directly governed by local forces, and wars between tribes or cities often occur in the peripheral areas.
Wangyuan City is located in the western edge of the Great Liao Empire, because it has to resist the invasion of various thieves and horse thieves all year round, the city wall is built extremely tall, and there are a large number of archers patrolling day and night on the city wall, it is said that in recent years, Zhao Chu, the city lord of Wangyuan City, and Wu Quan, the city lord of the nearby Black Wind City, have not looked at each other, and several small wars have broken out, so the recent investigation of entering the city is quite harsh, and the slightest abnormality is not allowed to enter.
Looking at the crowd lined up at the city gate for interrogation, Zhou Lin thought to himself that maybe he had to line up three years ago, but now? Hehe, he directly released the breath of the Qi Layer, and swaggered to the soldiers at the city gate under the surprised gaze of everyone.
"I, Zhou Tianfeng, enter the city!" Obviously, the six generations of ancestors let Zhou Lin not reveal his identity, and Zhou Lin naturally wanted to change his name, but whose name to change, this is difficult to say.
The sixth-generation ancestor who was closing his eyes in the cellar suddenly sneezed, and thought: Who would think that I am an old immortal, my old friends should all be dead, strange!
Although there are many soldiers guarding the city, most of them are cultivators of about seven or eight layers of the qi replenishment layer, and when they saw that the young man in front of him actually exuded the aura of the qi building layer, he was naturally surprised in his heart, either he was really talented in cultivation, or he was old but he had a good look, but in either case, he couldn't afford to provoke him.
"Your Excellency, please come into the city!"
Watching the soldier who was many years older than himself call himself an adult, Zhou Lin was amused in his heart.
Although Wangyuan City is located on the western edge, there are a lot of businesses that pass through the border, so the city is also quite lively, but after entering the city, Zhou Lin first included the Yutian Bow in his storage ring, after all, this bow is the property of Zhao Chu, the city lord of Wangyuan City, but three years ago, under opportunism, it was stolen by Zhou Lin, who was a young man, and now he thinks about it, but he is still a little complacent.
In fact, it was just a coincidence, Zhou Lin made a bet with Zhao Yi, the daughter of the city lord, if Zhou Lin won, he would let Zhao Yi open the underground secret room in the city for Zhou Lin, and take away any weapon of the city lord Zhao Chu, if Zhao Yi won, Zhou Lin will teach her to capture the moon, the result is obvious, Zhou Lin finally took a fake bow and replaced the real Yutian bow, and the city lord finally thought that there was a ghost in the city, but under several strict investigations, the results could not be found, and it was naturally over.
Just when Zhou Lin entered the city, in one of the most prosperous attics in the city, a woman was leaning against the window and looking at the crowd below. The long black and shiny hair is pulled into a simple hanging hair, and an elegant gilt silver and pearl step is put on, which is eye-catching.
"It's been three years, why is that guy like disappearing? I'm not in the mood to cultivate lately! Xiaoling, is there any news about him recently?"
A maid-like woman behind her took a step forward and replied: "Miss, we have used our relationship to check all the inns, and there is still no news of that son, and the Li son of the Li family in Xicheng has been waiting for two hours today, does Miss really not go to see me, I am afraid that it will affect the relationship between the Zhao family and the Li family······"
"No! If he wants to wait, then let him wait! I don't have any good feelings for this kind of narrow-minded person!" put away some of the previous indecisiveness, and when she heard the son of the Li family, this peerless woman seemed to have changed into a different person.
She is the daughter of the city lord Zhao Chu, Zhao Yi.
In this regard, Zhou Lin naturally didn't know at all, he saw that he was standing in front of an alchemy workshop at this time, and he was hesitating whether he needed to go in to apply for an alchemist, for no other reason, he felt that the Yuan Gong was about to break through recently, so after the closed fog of the Zhou family came out, the spirit crystals on his body were consumed, and there were no spirit crystals in the guest house.
As for why you want to apply here, the main reason is that if you become an alchemist of this store, as long as you complete your task share, the rest of the time is very loose, and the most important thing is that for Zhou Lin, who does not have a spirit crystal inn, he can eat and live······
Suddenly, a small crack suddenly opened in the door of the alchemy workshop, revealing the small head of a boy.
