Chapter 90: An Unexpected Surprise
readx;
In front of the city gate, more than a dozen soldiers in armor were holding spears and shouting at passers-by who entered the city, because they had to pay the city tax to enter the city, otherwise, neither residents nor cultivators would be allowed to enter.

Here, it's not a casual place, Baibaozhai's territory, even if it's an empire, you have to give three points, and behind you, it's a big faction of the Sword Sect.
Looking at the appearance of these soldiers fully armed, Nangong Chen was slightly stunned in his heart, the defense here was even stricter than that of a large city like Yu'an City?
Perhaps because of Xianyunzhou, these soldiers guarding were extremely proud, so they scolded unceremoniously and kept urging passers-by at the city gate.
Walking towards the city gate, listening to the shouting and scolding of those soldiers, as well as the kicking and beating of children, Nangong Chen frowned slightly, shook his head, and then walked straight into the city.
"Stop!" Looking at Nangong Chen as if no one was there, he walked straight towards the town, a soldier glared at him, and then stopped him with a weapon.
"Huh?" Nangong Chen didn't stop, but threw out a low-grade spirit stone, glanced at him lightly, and then passed by the smiling latter, and walked towards the city by himself.
Seeing Nangong Chen's gesture so generous, a touch of happiness appeared on the soldier's face, he swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and hurriedly bowed down and shouted: "My lord, you can go, if you go to other cities, you can take a Xianyun boat." ā
His footsteps were slow, and when he got this news, Nangong Chen nodded slightly, and then his figure slowly disappeared into the darkness of the passage of the city wall.
"Damn, I almost offended a cultivator, I thought he was an ordinary martial artist, if Baibaozhai knew about it, it would be strange if he didn't throw me to feed the dogs. Looking at Nangong Chen's disappearing back, the soldier exhaled completely, wiped a cold sweat, and stood back to his post again, perhaps because of the previous fright, now his anger has also been subdued a lot, and he no longer dares to scold passers-by who enter the city.
Slowly walked out of the dim passage, his vision lit up slightly, and the unique urban buildings appeared in the field of vision, and the houses and buildings with strange appearances made Nangong Chen a little eye-opening.
Standing on the street, Nangong Chen's eyes swept over the crowded street, and after a while, he asked a little stunned: "Master, is this the world of flowers?"
"According to you, it's still a woman's ocean. There was a helpless scolding voice from Xuanlu.
Smiling awkwardly, Nangong Chen smiled dryly: "How can there be, I used to be in the Songshan Snow Field, and I saw this scene, so I was a little curious." ā
Xuan Luo was also quite surprised, and said in a deep voice: "Next, let's go shopping first, buy some materials, and the things in the storage space are also worth a lot of spirit stones, so let's change them." ā
"Well, when you get to the condensing mirror, it's not bad to engrave some formation patterns, and then I'll take a look at the trading place in the town, oh, by the way, I don't have much pill left here, this thing is a must-have thing for cultivation. ā
Next, Nangong Chen began to look for a trading place, sighed, and pulled a passer-by by and asked about the shop that sold pills and sundries.
The passer-by who was pulled by Nangong Chen looked a little impatient at first, but when he saw Nangong Chen's dress, he was impatient and hurriedly restrained. Very politely pointed out the location of the store to Nangong Chen, and when Nangong Chen thanked him and said goodbye, this person also politely said the transaction currency of this place and the price of some sundries.
After thanking the passer-by, Nangong Chen couldn't help but have some thoughts about these people, because, no matter where they are, strength will be respected by others.
After walking unhurriedly for a long time, I came to a magnificent building and saw three big characters written on it: "Baibao Zhai".
After a slight pause, Nangong Chen's eyes showed surprise, and a trace of surprise could not help but rise in his heart, the power behind Baibaozhai is so huge, you can meet it in any town.
With a little surprise in his heart, Nangong Chen slowly walked into Baibao Zhai, here, the interior is not as spacious as Baibao Zhai in Yu'an City, there are only a dozen moonstones emitting a faint light, illuminating this place quite brightly, his eyes swept over the inside of Bai Bao Zhai, there are not many people who come to buy land inside, and the cold and deserted appearance makes Nangong Chen a little puzzled whether he has gone to the wrong place.
Walking closer along the steps, Nangong Chen glanced at it, and finally stopped at an old man behind the counter who was looking at the map carefully, this old man was obviously quite old, but although his hair was gray and his skin was wrinkled, the dry palm holding the brush was vigorous and powerful.
Without disturbing the old man, Nangong Chen carefully looked at the large number of maps on the counter, and flipped through them in his hands with great interest, the maps marked the route in great detail, so that he nodded with satisfaction.
After observing the map for a while, Nangong Chen saw that the old man was still studying the map, pursed his lips, and slowly walked around again.
In front of me, there is a quaint wooden frame in the corner, this wooden frame, obviously very old, is covered with holes in rotten wood, and on top of it, some yellowed maps are randomly stacked, and it seems that it is a failure in the production of maps.
The palm of his hand flipped through these yellowed maps at will, a faint musty smell came to his face, and he frowned slightly, Nangong Chen picked up a pair at random, his palm trembled slightly, and a broken map that was only the size of a palm was revealed in front of him.
He didn't pay much attention to it, and after looking through it, he put it back in boredom, and when he put it back, his eyes suddenly saw the edge of the broken map, and there was a faint sense of familiarity, as if he had seen it there......
Suddenly, Nangong Chen's palm trembled a little and put the broken map back, his eyes were full of unconcealable ecstasy, he never thought that in this extremely accidental situation, he would think of a strange thing that made the people of the snow region covet.
That's the secret of Longquan Pool.
The mysterious routes on this yellowed map are actually similar to a record in the original enchantment illusion record, although Nangong Chen regarded the book left by his father as a relic, but he never expected that the strange people and strange things recorded in this book actually existed.
Longquan Pool, which can make everyone in the snow region crazy, is actually related to Dad.
And now, this secret has fallen on him. He took a deep breath, trying to calm the earth ripples in his heart because of this extremely unexpected surprise.
At this time, the old man had finally finished the work in hand, but he still did not look up, and his old voice echoed in the room.
"You're going to buy a map of the snowy lands, right?"
I could hear the old man's inquiry. Nangong Chen turned around at this time, slowly walked to the counter, nodded with a smile, and said politely: "Old man, can you give me the most accurate and detailed map of the snowy region?"
"It's there, take your pick. The old man didn't deliberately get up to introduce, but just said lightly. This looks extremely different from a businessman.
