Chapter 225: Hanging City
In the middle of the night, at this time, Zhao Yunxuan, Yan Xueli, and Shangguan Shujin gathered in the room rented by Zhao Yunxuan and Yan Xueli, and Shangguan Shujin was laying a sea chart of trials on the table. The three of them discussed with each other.
Shangguan Shujin pointed to the map and said to the two of them: "The places that are specially marked on these maps are all special areas that are difficult to enter at the moment! Except for the place we have already visited, most of the other specially marked places are inaccessible because of the existence of undead spirits. However, there are also a few places where there are powerful berserk monsters and berserkers that make it difficult to enter the ruins to explore! Like this place!" After speaking, Shangguan Shujin pointed to a location on the map, and then continued.
"This place is the hottest place in the entire Sea of Trials! Even if you can't enter the ruins, the ruins here are ...... Or the small world is very magical. ”
"Small world?" Zhao Yunxuan couldn't help but be taken aback when he heard this, which made him think of his own mixed metaverse, "Just like a small world like my mixed metaverse?"
Shangguan Shujin nodded and continued: "Although that small world doesn't know the specific origin, since it is within the scope of the ruins, it is inseparable from the ruins of the God Realm! Moreover, in that small world, it has the advantage of cultivating and honing combat experience! Therefore, this ruin has become an open commercial area! It has become a cultivation holy place that everyone in the Three Realms desires, which is also one of the reasons why the Sea of Trials is famous!"
Listening to Shangguan Shujin talking about this place, Zhao Yunxuan couldn't help but ask, "Can you tell me more about this place?"
"Yes. Shangguan Shujin nodded, "This relic was discovered more than five hundred years ago, and then some Scattered Cultivation Alliances seized control of this place at the expense of several Star Cultivation Gods who were at the peak of the Divine Star Realm. After that, it was acquired by my master at a great price. Because this small world of ruins can form a variety of cultivation environments and battle opponents, this small world is called the small world of Vientiane. And built a suspended city on top of this ruin. It's called Hanging City."
As soon as he heard that this small world was occupied by Chongxiao, Zhao Yunxuan couldn't help but feel a little disappointed: "Do you already belong to the Demon Continent? Otherwise, I still want to merge that small world of Vientiane with my Mixed Metaverse!"
"Merge with your Mixed Metaverse Realm?Zhao Yunxuan, are you really greedy!" Shangguan Shujin couldn't help laughing: "But unfortunately, you can't get that small world! Because where is the Demon Continent, most of the income is from the Vientiane Small World! If this small world is gone, the Demon Continent will lose half of its economic resources! So, don't fight its idea!"
"Really, what a pity!" Zhao Yunxuan leaned on the table and thought about it.
"So much of the income of the Demon Continent is obtained from the small world of Vientiane, thus becoming the richest continent in the human world. If the Hero Continent can also have a place like Vientiane Small World, then the Hero Continent should also be as rich and revitalized as the Four Saints Continent!"
Thinking of this, Zhao Yunxuan realized that the Hero Continent was definitely a backward continent compared to other continents. Even if Zhao Yunxuan now has a small amount of assets and has mastered the art of alchemy and refining, how to find economic sources for the mainland is indeed a difficult problem. And after so many years, I don't know what happened to the Hero Continent. Without them, the continent could easily be occupied from inside and outside. Only Qin Ming alone was not enough to protect the Hero Continent.
After a series of thoughts, Zhao Yunxuan gradually worried about what the situation was in the Hero Continent now. He decided to wait until the Sea of Trials was over and go back to the Hero Continent to have a look.
"Zhao Yunxuan, Zhao Yunxuan!" Shangguan Shujin saw Zhao Yunxuan stunned at this time, and slapped it on the table, startling Zhao Yunxuan. When he looked up, he saw Shangguan Shujin looking down at him as if he was about to breathe fire.
"Please respect the person who is speaking!"
"I'm sorry......" Zhao Yunxuan scratched his head embarrassedly, and then said to the two girls with a straight attitude: "However, I am very curious about what that Vientiane small world is like, since it is impossible to get the Vientiane small world, it may be good to see it in the past." ”
Hearing Zhao Yunxuan's decision, Shangguan Shujin put away the map and said, "Then let's go to the Hanging City next! The Hanging City is also a city, where let's rent an inn and return the inn here!"
"Good. Zhao Yunxuan responded, and then walked out of the room with Yan Xueli and Shangguan Shujin, went to the fox demon shopkeeper to return the guest room, and set off for Hanging City.
When he first arrived in the Hanging City, Zhao Yunxuan couldn't help but be shocked by the grandeur of the Hanging City.
A city of nearly 10,000 square meters occupies a suspended island. The four directions of the island are connected by unusually thick iron chains, and strange black pumice stones are suspended a hundred meters above sea level.
These black pumice stones are engraved with golden spell marks, and it is precisely because of the power of these spell marks that these four pumice stones can float in the air with this island and city of nearly 10,000 square meters, which is the main pillar of the balance of the hanging city. If the four pillars are destroyed, then the result is that the entire island falls into the ocean. Therefore, each pumice stone is protected by a master to maintain the safety of the entire Hanging City.
The Hanging City is divided into five urban districts, which are five urban districts in the east, west, north, south, and middle. Because the Hanging City is one of the economic sources of the Demon Continent, as an economic city, most of the urban areas in the east, west, north and south directions of the Hanging City are dominated by inns, and some outsiders will find an inn to rent a room and wait for the opening of the Vientiane Small World.
The central part is a commercial area, and the buildings are mainly trade areas, such as stalls selling various materials, weapons, magic weapons, secret elixirs, and auction halls.
At this time, in the eastern district of the Hanging City, Zhao Yunxuan and Yan Xueli followed behind Shangguan Shujin, and Shangguan Shujin introduced and preached while walking: "Although the Vientiane Small World is open to the outside world, it is only open once a month, and only 1,000 people are allowed to enter each time, so all the inns in the Hanging City will be full every time! But before we do that, we'll have to go to Midtown to register. ”
"Registration?" Zhao Yunxuan asked with doubts in his heart, "Why do you still need to register?"
"Does this still need to be explained?!" Shangguan Shujin frowned and said dissatisfiedly: "I thought you could understand! All the inns in the Hanging City combined are only allowed to accommodate a maximum of 100,000 people, and more than 100,000 people, the Hanging City is not allowed to enter, and you can only wait for someone to come out." And only 1,000 people can enter each month, and the rest can only wait!, so register in advance to make an appointment and occupy a place. Those who are at the back of the queue will have to wait here for several years before they can get their turns. ”
"It's going to take years!"
Zhao Yunxuan couldn't help frowning when he heard Shangguan Shujin say this. However, in the past few years, he can also go to other outside ruins to explore, and when the exploration is almost over, he can see the small world of Vientiane when he returns.
Zhao Yunxuan and Yan Xueli, led by Shangguan Shujin, went to the registration appointment office in the middle of the Hanging City to register. The two of them were so familiar with Shangguan Shu Jin, and it was no surprise that Hanging City was no different. After all, now Shangguan Shujin is Chongxiao's apprentice, and since Chongxiao asked Shangguan Shujin to come to the Sea of Trials to train, he will naturally tell her the details of the most important city in the Sea of Trials, the Hanging City.
They had ninety-six thousand and one to ninety-six thousand and three, respectively.
After Zhao Yunxuan saw that the token he got was engraved with the number "96002", he couldn't help but smile bitterly: "It's really a coincidence, it's exactly the trip eight years later!"
Shangguan Shujin put away his token and said angrily: "Be content! It's good not to be squeezed to the end! This also shows that there are still nearly 4,000 empty inns in this city to live in." ”
"Moreover, keep the token! This is your pass to the Hanging City! Without the token! You can't live in the city! You can't enter the small world of Vientiane to cultivate!"
Playing with the token in his hand, Yan Xueli beside Zhao Yunxuan asked, "Since you said that you want to keep the token, that means that the token may be taken away?!"
"Of course!" Shangguan Shujin explained with a natural look, "All kinds of masters in the Three Realms will come to the Hanging City! Naturally, there is no shortage of masters of the Divine Star Realm! Although the Hanging City is the only city among all the cities in the Sea of Trials that does not allow fighting inside the city, those masters who have cultivated extremely high can completely rob or exchange through threats, fraud, theft, and other means. However, this method is only aimed at those masters of the Divine Star Realm. For a Star Cultivator at the level of an Immortal Star Realm like us, it is still not binding. ”
As soon as he heard Shangguan Shujin say this, Zhao Yunxuan suddenly enlightened and understood what Shangguan Shujin meant: "In other words, the cultivation of the Divine Star Realm level is not allowed to make trouble in the city, but for us, we can rob it in broad daylight!"
Shangguan Shujin nodded, and consulted Zhao Yunxuan: "If you think the number of this token is too big and you have to wait for a long time, I can find a few guys to 'exchange' the token, maybe I can 'exchange' it to the token with the top number." How? Do you want to think about it?"
Knowing that the Immortal Star Realm Star Cultivator could snatch tokens within the territory of the Hanging City, Zhao Yunxuan understood that "exchange" and "robbery" were equal.
However, Zhao Yunxuan still chose to refuse Shangguan Shujin's kindness, first of all, it was against his principles to rob a person who had nothing to do with him for no reason, and then he was not in a hurry to see the small world of Vientiane. In the past eight years, he still needs to explore other ruins.
Zhao Yunxuan is not in a hurry to see the small world of Vientiane, and Shangguan Shujin does not force it, and he no longer fights this mind. After all, she wanted to stay with Zhao Yunxuan for a while, if she "exchanged" the token with someone else, she would have to go alone, Zhao Yunxuan was not by her side, and she didn't want to go to Vientiane Small World to cultivate. It was an idea she had unintentionally.
