Chapter 214: The Mysterious Ancient City
"Hmph, I don't have any money, I still want to come in to eat, do you know the consequences of eating the overlord's meal?" The shopkeeper scolded. This shopkeeper is an ordinary person with no cultivation. He couldn't see anything special about this strong man, and he didn't know what a powerhouse of the Transformation God Realm was.
Mu Yao couldn't help but take a breath of cold air when he saw this kind of scene. What's going on here?
It looks like I'm going to have to find someone to ask and find out the situation.
Mu Yao walked directly in front of this powerhouse of the Transformation God Realm.
"May I ask this senior, ...... are you?"
Mu Yao just accosted the person who was kicked out, but he didn't expect this person to suddenly turn around with a pair of sharp eyes, staring at Mu Yao like staring at a piece of fat. No matter what Mu Yao asked, he stepped forward to grab Mu Yao's clothes and began to rummage through his body.
What's the situation, Mu Yao is face is confused, but he can't let this person come to the wrong place, hurry up, this person is just a stumbling person.
"Xiao Yuan Infant Realm even dared to resist, obediently hand over the things on his body, otherwise you will look good." The man said.
Oh, it turns out that this person is treating himself as a soft persimmon and wants to rob himself, but this person seems to have forgotten one thing, that is, the rules on the stone tablet at the city gate, and even if there is no rule, both sides are ordinary people who can't use spiritual power, how can a twenty-year-old young man be afraid of forty or fifty-year-old people.
I heard an explosion in the air, and a lightning bolt struck the strong man, directly destroying the form and spirit of his bombardment. The corpse turned to ashes and vanished.
Mu Yao was also shocked, fortunately he didn't react so quickly because of the loss of spiritual power, he was just pushed just now, and he didn't have time to fight back, if he did it, would he also be punished by this lightning strike.
At this point, Mu Yao finally understood what the second article of the stone tablet at the door meant. This is a place where it is absolutely forbidden to do anything, everyone is treated equally, no one needs to judge right and wrong, as long as you do it, there will be punishment.
Mu Yao didn't say a word when he just came in, he first experienced the cruelty of this world, which is really memorable.
But it doesn't seem to be a particularly difficult thing to follow, right?
For Mu Yao, although he endured a lot of unfair treatment when he was a child, when he broadened his horizons, he already felt that those things were no longer worth mentioning in life. My ideal is to have a world without strife. Live a carefree life. Isn't that great?
Mu Yao glanced left and right a few times, and found that the people here, whether they were from the outside world or the original residents of this town, were completely ignoring the scene just now.
This made Mu Yao a little uncomfortable. thought this was the ideal world, but this ruthless look made Mu Yao unacceptable.
Mu Yao walked into this restaurant. Call the shopkeeper.
"Little second brother, I want to ask you a few questions, I don't know if it's convenient?" Mu Yao asked.
"May I ask this little brother?" The shopkeeper's face was pleasant, and he didn't have the fierce and vicious appearance just now.
"If you pay for food here, what kind of money do you pay? Gold, silver or spirit stones? Mu Yao asked.
"It's okay, but the settlement is settled with spirit stones, and you have to take out a lot of gold and silver coins at a time, and you can also go to the money bank to exchange them for spirit stones and then go out to spend." Shopkeeper said.
"Then how could that guy just now have no money on him?" When Mu Yao heard this, this was strange, why did this big man have some spirit stones in his hands when he was in the realm of transforming into gods, how could he fall into such a field?
"Well, the guest officer is from the outside world, I won't tell you that there are a lot of outsiders in this city, at the beginning, everyone had some spirit stones in their hands, and they were also lavish in their consumption here, these people don't seem to have much concept of money, and the consumption is faster."
"The spirit stone also has a role, although it can't increase cultivation, but it can extend the life of here, objectively you have also found that you are already a mortal, but by absorbing the spirit stone, you can lock your own life span and prevent it from being lost, and you can also do it by eating, but that kind of meal is not much cheaper than the spirit stone."
"So you get the idea. The consumption of spirit stones is naturally very fast. The shopkeeper said.
"Then there's no way to earn spirit stones here? And why don't they want to get out? Isn't it possible to go out by finding the Lingbao cheats? He didn't ask.
"Hehe, it's okay to earn spirit stones, but after all, the ones you earn are a few, not enough to consume, and these guys are really not the material for earning spirit stones. For example, I, the shopkeeper, none of these people are willing to do it. Hey, I really don't know what their identities are outside, I haven't seen the shopkeeper or what? Huh,"
"As for finding the secret treasure, it depends on chance, and no one has found it yet. About twenty years ago, a group of people came in, and they were looking for it, and we don't know what they're looking for, but we haven't seen them find it. Okay, aside, do you eat or not? ”
"Ah, eat, let's have four dishes, look at this, this is a spirit stone, do you see enough?" Mu Yao's heart churned when he heard this sentence more than twenty years ago, could this be the secret that Nangong Lie's parents didn't go out?
"That's enough, I don't need that much." Shopkeeper said.
"The rest belongs to you, prepare a guest room for me, how many spirit stones do you need, and I still have some questions I want to ask the second brother later." Mu Yao said.
As he spoke, he took out another hundred lower-grade spirit stones and handed them to the shopkeeper, who hurriedly took the spirit stones and took Mu Yao to the guest room on the second floor.
A hundred lower grade spirit stones are enough to live for a month.
Next, Mu Yao inquired about the situation in this town while eating wine and food, especially the situation of the group of people twenty years ago.
It turned out that the big man in front of the restaurant today came in twenty years ago, and at this time he had already consumed all the spirit stones on his body, but the days still had to pass, and he didn't eat for a day, which was consumed faster than in the outside world, and his hunger was stronger, so he had no way to eat the overlord meal, eat and drink. When I went out, I met Mu Yao, and I couldn't control my emotions for a while, and I was dying. You must know that death here is real death.
Mu Yao also learned that the people who came here last time are now also huddled together for warmth, living outside the east city, and they are building houses by themselves, everything is self-sufficient, but their lives are not very good, and many people have come to the verge of collapse.
And at the beginning, they were like Mu Yao who wantonly squandered the spirit stones on their bodies. Even if you live in the hotel for a month, you only have a medium-grade spirit stone. When Mu Yao tried to use spirit stones to replenish Shouyuan, he found that a hundred medium-grade spirit stones were barely replenished for a day. And it is said that as time increases, the consumption of spirit stones will also increase.
That's a lot of money. You must know that this absorption amount, you can absorb a hundred medium-grade spirit stones in less than half an hour, and if you don't rely on the Spirit Gathering Array, this speed is even faster than cultivation improvement. Even if it is to break through the bottleneck of cultivation, it is enough. But the effect is minimal.
However, if you don't absorb the spirit stone, your body will age sharply, and your own lifespan is thousands of years in the Transformation God Realm, even if the Yuan Infant Realm has a thousand years, it is just like ordinary people here, the highest is a hundred years old, and the least is seventy or eighty years old, even if it is the end of life.
They are here to find an opportunity, and they are all top geniuses, how can they be willing to die here of old age?
In the first few years, the spirit stones in the hands of these people ranged from thousands to hundreds of thousands, and they could still hold up, but they had been consumed in less than ten years, and some people chose to reduce the absorption of spiritual energy and adjust it, so that the spirit stones could be used at a critical moment.
In the end, it has survived until now. And this is the reason why Nangong Lie's parents' breath of life is weak. They are really on the verge of death step by step. If this dilemma cannot be solved, this group of people will really die of old age.
At this time, Mu Yao came in, and he was also facing this dilemma, Mu Yao was going to rest here for a day, and tomorrow he would visit Nangong Lie's parents who lived in Dongcheng to check the situation.
Although the town is not big, for Mu Yao, who has a mortal body, it takes more than half a day to walk from the west of the city to the east of the city, which is not comparable to flying in the sky, which consumes physical strength.
After a night's rest, early the next morning, Mu Yao hurried to the residence of Nangong Lie's parents in Dongcheng.
On the way, passing through several main routes in the city, people come and go here, prosperous and abnormal, Mu Yao also saw some outsiders in the cultivation of the Yuan Infant Realm, helping to do some work, mainly some physical work, although the realm is still there, but there is no spiritual power to use at all, and can only rely on one strength.
The people who can enter the Yuanying Realm are all genius disciples, they are not very old, and some of them can also be seen, accept the reality and wait for the opportunity, maybe there will be a chance to solve this dilemma.
Just as Mu Yao passed through a bustling street, Yao'er's voice came.
"Brother Yao, this place is a bit weird." Ya'er said.
"Hey, it's weird, it's a big cage that you can't get in and out. I don't know how this master came up with this bad idea. Mu Yao replied.
Since coming in, even the two masters, Chiyang and Yinyue, have been blocked from perceiving, and Mu Yao can't even contact them, this is his own mind, he can actually block it, Mu Yao is still surprised.
Fortunately, when he contacted Yao'er, there was no obstacle at all, which made Mu Yao feel a lot more relieved, there was a spirit crystal in this Yao'er space that was constantly condensing the spirit stone veins. Those who can have enough spirit stones to supply themselves, as long as they don't squander them wantonly, it is not a problem to support them for one hundred and eighty years. It's a guarantee.
Besides, even if he is in the outside world, he is less than twenty years old, and he is still early to be 100 years old, not to mention that there is still a stock of spirit stones. It's just that I don't have so much time to spend here.
