Chapter Twenty-Three: Jaw County
Jaw County, a small city with a permanent population of only a hundred thousand, because it is located in the border fortress, in order to deal with the harassment of low-level demon beasts that occasionally pass by, a simple city protection array is still in operation day and night.

Although the consumption of essence stones is a large expense for the "finances" in the city, it is not worth mentioning at all for the "protection" that can resist the existence of sixth-order demon beasts and below.
Moreover, the Tian family in Weng Tian Town controls a well-stocked fine stone mine, and the officials of Jaw County can also cope with it if they are close to the water and get the moon first.
This was his second time in Jaw County, and since he had just broken through the bottleneck of the initial stage of the first layer of the "Overlord Duel", his cultivation had already entered the second layer of the Qi training period, and Li Yun's perception of the large array outside the city was much more obvious than the last time.
From such a distance, he could feel that there were faint aura fluctuations in the void in front of him, which also contained a "sharp" killing intent, but the city protection array only worked on high-level monks and demon beasts, and there was no obstacle for low-level immortal cultivators like him who could not fly in the sky, as well as mortals.
"Young master, is it your first time coming to Jaw County, right, Brother Long asked me to ask you about your team, whether you still live in [Penglai Hakju], the last few employers, can have a good evaluation of [Penglai Hakju], do you see ......" When Li Yunze looked at Jaw County, Lin Qing, who was following him on the left flank, suddenly asked.
"Oh, Sister Lin Qing, I know, you just tell Brother Long Wu that everything is as usual," smiled slightly, and waved his hand before Lin Qing finished speaking.
"Yes, young master," although Li Yun behaved very casually, Lin Qing, who was grateful to him, still responded respectfully.
As he spoke, the distance of ten miles had been left behind by the galloping horse team, and there was a city gate seven or eight zhang high in front of him, which appeared in front of everyone, and the guards at the west gate of Jaw County were only ordinary soldiers, and there were no cultivators;
Therefore, when Li Yun and the others entered the city, they were only briefly interrogated and then let go, and no one noticed his identity as a low-level immortal cultivator.
Of course, in such a remote town, even low-level monks in the Qi cultivation period are rare, and even if there are, they will be worshiped by the "forces" in the city, like an uncle;
But that's the case, the arrogant "monks" will not look at them squarely, and the ancestors enshrined by the "official family" in the city will only appear when the small city encounters a "catastrophe" that has not been encountered in a century.
Usually, they only concentrate on cultivation in the cave, and never participate in the "garrison", let alone allow others to disturb them, otherwise the "golden thieves" would not be able to be here for half a month.
The streets of Jaw County are not too prosperous, but compared with "Weng Tian Town", they are still a lot stronger;
In the evening, when passing through the cross street, there was still a flow of people in front, and there was a hustle and bustle one after another, which made Li Yun, who was sitting on the big black horse, feel "sigh" for a while.
[Penglai Guest House] is located in the "central area" of Jaw County, a large inn, the environment is elegant and decorated, the attic group of the single door and single courtyard alone, there are no less than ten places, it is the favorite place to stay for the "rich merchants".
In order to curry favor with Li Yun, after everyone came here, Zhao Baiwan, Liu Youcai and others decided on two adjacent luxury courtyards at once, one for themselves, and the other for Li Yun and the people of the "Iron-blooded Thirteen Alliance".
In fact, the current Li Yun is not "bad for money", he has scavenged no less than eight thousand taels of "assets" from the horse thief, Mo said that living here for three days, even if he lives for three years, it is more than enough, but there is a saying called "it is difficult to be gracious", he also knows that in the future, these people will come and go to Jaw County, and they will rely on the escort of Long Wu and others under their own hands, so they will not hesitate to spend money to curry favor.
Since this is the case, then don't refute their face, Li Yun was "helpless", so he could only nod happily and accept it.
However, he rejected the proposal of the fat man and the fat man to set up a banquet and hospitality, he didn't want to be too eye-catching in this mixed [Penglai Guest House].
When everyone lived in [Penglai Guest House], it was already late, and it was impossible to go out to run errands and purchase items today, Li Yun agreed with Qian Fatzi and others for three days, and then led Luo Fang and Lin Qing to their courtyard.
"Young master, you have a good rest, we will leave," let's have dinner, and after bathing and changing, the two women left with a smile.
"Okay, let's go, let's go," for these two big sisters who are more than ten years older than him, Li Yun is now very "helpless", since he saved them the day before yesterday, these two heroines have to follow him to serve him alive and dead;
also said that if Li Yun didn't agree, he would dislike them for being clumsy.
There is no way, Li Yun always has a little resistance to women in his heart now, and after they are finally willing to let him go, he waved his hand without hesitation.
After a night of silence, the next day when Luo Fang and Lin Qing pushed open Li Yun's door again, they were surprised to find that the room was already empty at this time, leaving only a simple "character Jane" on the table;
"Two sisters, I'm going to go to the street alone today, don't look for me, I'll come back naturally in the evening," looking at the note in their hands, the two girls looked at each other with big eyes.
At noon, Li Yun, who had visited more than a dozen pharmacies, was standing at the door of [Yan Ji Medicinal Material Store] at this time, looking up at the [Yunqing Teahouse] diagonally opposite.
"Why is Young Master Li, are you thirsty, the [Yunqing Teahouse] is a fragrant condensing Qingyun tea, but it is a local specialty, the entrance is long and the aftertaste is endless, and their [Hibiscus Pastry] is even more famous, do you want the old man to accompany you to sit for a while?" Yan Xi, the proprietor of the medicinal herb shop, suddenly said with a smile on Li Yun's side.
This old man's surname is Yan, and he is also called Yan Xi, so it should be this name, which has a great impact on his business, and it is rare for a big business to come to his door today, and he is quite "earnest" towards Li Yun.
"Oh, no, I personally like to be quiet, I'll go and see it myself later, as for the cooperation, please rest assured, as long as the price we negotiated is okay, all the medicinal materials I need in the future will be shipped from you," Li Yun responded with a faint smile;
He didn't expect that he inadvertently glanced at the opposite side, which caused such a big movement from Old Man Yan, it seems that he really wants to cooperate with him, so it's okay, anyway, all the medicinal materials he needs here are readily available, and the price is much more "fair" than the previous ones.
"Okay, okay, the old man will go back and wait for good news, Young Master Li, you are good to go," Yan Xi saw Li Yun once, and finalized the business of a few thousand taels of silver, and the old man's face was suddenly full of smiles, and he couldn't stop saying yes.
After a cup of tea, Li Yun appeared in a window seat on the second floor of [Yunqing Teahouse], and in front of him there was a pot of tea and a few dishes of beautifully made snacks.
While tasting "Xiangning" with relish and eating pastries, Li Yun's consciousness was also listening to the chatter of everyone in the teahouse.
Most people are talking about the trivial things that have happened around them recently, just what is his family's "old sow", how many piglets have been born recently, what neighbor Zhao Er beat his wife last night and so on;
After listening to a few words, Li Yun, who couldn't cry or laugh, was ready to withdraw his thoughts, concentrate on eating the food in front of him, and leave here.
Suddenly, in the corner of the teahouse a few zhang away, the content of the conversation of several people caught his attention, the corners of his mouth curled, and Li Yun's divine thoughts put aside the "idle talk" of others and firmly "locked" these people.
