Chapter 13: Fate
As soon as he stepped into the heavy city gate, the scenery in front of him was completely new, completely different from the vast land outside, it was simply two worlds, and Lin Qi was completely shocked.
The Celestial Empire, with countless prosperous avenues, is bustling, and countless streets spread out like cobwebs, densely covered in all corners of the Celestial Empire, extremely prosperous.
On both sides of the street, there is a lot of traffic, there are many shops, the pavilions are close, the population is large, shoulder to shoulder, many pedestrians are dressed in the style of the Oriental world, but more than half of the people are from other regions, it can be said that the Celestial Empire is mixed, and there is a trace of restlessness in the prosperity.
The streets are full of people and bustling, unaffected by the weather.
"This is the Heavenly Empire! There is no comparison with the town before me! It's so different!" Lin Qi said with deep emotion, he didn't know the outside world, this was his first time in a big city, he had never seen everything here, let alone heard it, which opened his eyes, and the Heavenly Empire subverted his worldview.
Xie Wan's lotus-like face was also attracted by the prosperity of the Heavenly Empire, although she said that she had been here before, she would have different feelings every time she came.
The two of them strolled through the streets of the Celestial Empire, and the surrounding shops were deeply attracted to their attention, such as pharmacies selling extremely rare elixirs such as unicorn grass, flame flowers, black jade insects, pluto stones, and ice spirits.
These medicinal materials come from all over the mainland, the origin is different, the price is also different, take the whole body into a blue crystal, the leaves exude a trace of cold ice spirit, this spirit grass from the frozen area of the far north plain, where the snow does not melt all year round, the temperature is extremely cold and biting, desolate, a hundred years to give birth to a plant, can be described as a treasure in the spirit, of course, the price of this ice spirit is not expensive, even as high as three thousand silver soul coins.
The currency unit of the Xianchen Continent was unified thousands of years ago, based on the soul magician, from low to high, in order of copper soul coins, silver soul coins, gold soul coins, purple soul coins and the most valuable emperor soul coins, the unit between each soul coin is one hundred, and its purple soul coins and emperor soul coins are symbols of nobility and royalty, nobility and power.
And an ordinary mainland resident, the average annual income is also between a few hundred copper soul coins, which is equivalent to a few silver soul coins, because they don't need to seek immortals, they are plain, and ordinary life is enough.
However, a soul magician, from the day he stepped into the road of seeking immortals, it means that there is inevitably a huge amount of expenses to supplement his needs for seeking immortals, a beginner in the soul realm, every time he crosses a soul realm, the financial resources paid are huge, and the more he needs in the future, if he wants to become a top powerhouse, his consumption can be said to be absolutely astronomical.
Lin Qi had already learned about these materials in the history books, but he had not experienced them personally, and he was looking forward to the moment when he looked at the world.
The strength of the Celestial Empire is no longer increasing all the time, and its prosperity has deeply attracted the merchants of the mainland, who want to make a big profit in the Celestial Empire, they are interested in the future potential of the Celestial Empire.
"Jingle ......"
The sound of metal colliding attracted Lin Qi's attention, and he walked over curiously, followed by Xie Wan.
Across the crowded flow of people, a shop that made weapons appeared in sight, several big men in the heavy snow, each holding a huge hammer, is constantly hitting a red weapon, bean-sized beads of sweat continue to roll down from their foreheads, dripping on the red weapon, "snort!", instantly turned into water vapor and disappeared into the air.
Behind them, Lin Qi noticed that many of the finished weapons were hung on a wall in order to attract customers, including battle axes, spears, iron halberds, silver swords, etc., some very common cold weapons, but these weapons did not have any soul runes on them, which were not suitable for soul magicians.
A truly powerful weapon must have some soul runes engraved on it, and the soul magician can inject his soul power into the weapon in order to exert a powerful soul technique.
And those cold weapons didn't have any soul runes, so they couldn't be sold for a good price at all, Lin Qi was a little puzzled, out of curiosity, he walked over and wanted to ask what was going on.
"Uncle, how much do you have these weapons!" Lin Qi looked at these sturdy men innocently, but there was not the slightest fear in his eyes.
Xie Wan didn't know what Lin Qi was going to do, and she didn't speak, just quietly followed behind Lin Qi.
Hearing the voice, a big man stopped what he was doing, he wiped the beads of sweat on his forehead, and glanced at Lin Qi, no matter how he looked, he couldn't see that the young man in front of him wanted to buy his weapon, his tone was a little cold, and said, "Yo! The child still wants to buy my weapon, your adult asked you to come, right?"
Lin Qi shook his head, his expression was very flat, and said, "I just want to know, how much do you have weapons here?"
The big man frowned, and stretched out three fingers at Lin Qi, "Thirty copper soul coins!"
Lin Qi was shocked in his heart, it was nearly twice as much as he expected, a weapon without soul runes, even if it was created, it would not be put into the real battlefield, it was no different from scrap metal, and its value was almost zero.
His expression was still flat, and he said, "Why don't you bless the soul power rune on it, won't this be able to sell it for a higher price?"
Hearing this, Dahan was shocked, he didn't expect that this young boy who looked young would still know soul power runes, which made him a little surprised, but as long as Lin Qi didn't buy it, no matter how much he said, it would be nonsense, so he said very reluctantly: "Go, go!
"Let's go! The Spirit Immortal Soul Courtyard hasn't been found yet?" Xie Wan whispered behind Lin Qi, she was used to seeing the cold and warm state of affairs in the world, and in the face of the performance of the big man, she had long been as downset as still water.
Lin Qi didn't speak again, shook his head, then turned around and disappeared into the crowd with Xie Wan.
"Delay Uncle Ben's financial journey, Lao Tzu was born as a commoner, where can he do any soul arts, just make money, what do you care about so much!" Dahan complained, and then began to repeat the action just now, and continued to sweat like rain.
Every family has a scripture that is difficult to read. Ordinary ordinary people who want to survive in the big city rely on their own craftsmanship, and there is no other choice.
There are too many warm and cold things in this world, so many that people are a little suspicious, should this life continue?! Looking for immortals, the long road, how many in order to get immortality, get eternal youth, get endless power, buried on the road, but, once it starts, it is destined to grit your teeth and go on.
"Why did you ask that blacksmith just now?" Xie Wan asked, she didn't understand what Lin Qi was thinking.
"It's just that I can't figure it out, I can do better, why not try it!?Is it just stubborn to a method?" Lin Qi replied, he felt that he had to do his best in doing things, and if he didn't pursue better, or even perfection, how could he be really strong!?
"Many things are the same as people, and some things are destined to be unchangeable!" Xie Wan sighed lightly, she knew Lin Qi's thoughts, but God was not equal.
"Maybe!" Lin Qi didn't speak again, he knew that there were some things in this world that could not be changed by nature, such as family, origin, appearance, unknown accidents, many, many things, we can't change them, we can only face them hard.
The criss-crossing street markets made Lin Qi and Xie Wan completely lost, and they couldn't even tell the direction, the Celestial Empire was too big, and these markets were just the tip of the iceberg of the Celestial Empire, and they hadn't seen many brilliant buildings yet.
Through many inquiries and inquiries, Lin Qi and Xie Wan finally determined the location of the Spirit Immortal Soul Courtyard, and also had a general understanding of the scale of the Heavenly Empire.
The street market where they are located is called Yong'an Street, which is just an ordinary low-class street in the Heavenly Empire, and of course the people in it are mixed, and there are all kinds of merchants.
There are countless street markets like this in the Celestial Empire, many ordinary people and some low-level soul magicians are the hosts and guests here, and close to the location of the capital of the Celestial Empire, the street market there is the place where the noble royal family attends to show their noble status.
The Spirit Immortal Soul Academy is a famous soul art academy located in the middle of the Heavenly Empire, and it is the top ten soul art colleges in the entire Heavenly Empire, and the most brilliant deed is that there have been three soul masters in the Soul Emperor realm here, and the other colleges have only produced a few soul masters in the Soul Average realm at most, and their teaching level has completely opened a grade.
Many famous families in the Xianchen Continent were willing to send their children to the Lingxian Soul Academy, but its first headmaster, Li Ruien, left an eternal school rule - only accept soul magicians recognized by Lingxiantai!
Lin Qi and Xie Wan walked for more than an hour, and finally arrived at the Tiansui neighborhood.
The crowd here is still endless, but more of them are young men and women dressed as students, they talk and laugh with each other, walking on the streets in groups of three or five, making this place a little less noisy and a little more quiet, this is the gathering place of the Soul Academy of the Heavenly Empire, and it is also the location of the Immortal Soul Academy.
