"Ah! Why didn't your space gear break? Heavenly Evil asked with some curiosity.

The white-haired canine ear girl was also brought up by him, but this girl was obviously very afraid of heights, and she was lying tightly on the back of the heavenly evil at this time, which made him secretly feel happy in his heart and only wanted to rub more.

"Do you need to ask? Ah and what spell won't do now? Make your own! Costa said with a smile. Ah! Get me a sturdy one too! I didn't even have a bag for snacks, it was so uncomfortable! ”

"Hmm." Zhao Tianhe nodded, grabbed the air directly and began to process while flying.

This simple magic prop Zhao Tianhe made it was just like playing, and after a while, a pendant made of air crystals as the medium was made.

The pendant is light blue and looks like a fat Weddell holding a piece of cake.

Kusta was very happy to wear it around his neck at a glance, this pendant doesn't look ordinary, but it's actually very strong, and it can transmit power to the holder after being attacked, so it can be said that the body is indestructible and this equipment is not bad.

Of course, in this way, the routine of the pendant to block bullets or something will not be done, because people will die first.

But everyone present cared about this, Moore and Heavenly Evil Ah Wu also asked for one each.

Zhao Tianhe thought about it, and also made one for each of the three daughters of Artoria.

Although this thing will explode directly after three days without surgical maintenance in the absence of qualified materials, this is not a difficult task.

After about 200 kilometers of progress, a sizable city appeared in front of everyone.

The structure of the buildings here is quite strange, completely different from the ancient Chinese buildings imagined by Zhao Tianhe, all of them are tofu blocks!

At first glance, it looks like a modern metropolis, but the floors are not high, and the top ten floors are located in the middle of the city, and at first glance it looks like a city hall or something.

"These buildings all have traces of spells, and it seems that spells are very common in this world." Kusta said, looking at the tofu block building. "It's not good to proselytize."

"It's a nuisance." Zhao Tianhe nodded, and slowly descended to a street in the city.

Zhao Tian and his party did not intend to keep a low profile, after all, judging from Zhao Dahu's description, this high-grade spirit stone did not seem to be so easy to get hold of, and it was a rare resource.

They must demonstrate their ability to reach out to those at the top to make deals.

If it really doesn't work, it doesn't matter if it's hard!

This matter is life-threatening, and Zhao Tianhe cannot be pedantic.

The people here behaved much better than the people in Zhaojia Village when they saw Zhao Tianhe and his party descending from the sky, and only children would take a curious look.

It can be seen that flying is indeed nothing new here.

'There is such a big gap between urban and rural areas...... It can only mean one thing, and that is that the world is being reformed! Thinking of this, Zhao Tianhe also didn't know whether this matter was good or bad.

But if you think about it, isn't he also engaged in reform on the planet before him?

Although the methods are a bit radical and excessive, it is either door-to-door intimidation or mind control......

"However, the spirit spell is so easy to use, everyone is an NPC when they use it. Although he was a little unbearable, Zhao Tianhe still walked to a restaurant on the side of the road and cast a spiritual magic on the cashier to facilitate questioning.

Zhao Tianhe looked at the currency next to the cashier and nodded.

The currency here is quite simple, gold and silver coins.

I thought it would be ingots...... Forget it, it's not like this, the main question is whether gold and silver can be exchanged for spirit stones. Zhao Tianhe asked the cashier. "Do you know where the Hundred Beast Gate is?"

"Well, out of the city, fifty miles to the west is Cuiping Mountain, and on the mountain is the Hundred Beast Gate." The cashier replied honestly.

"Then do you know where the spirit stones, especially the high-grade spirit stones, are found?" Although he felt that it was unlikely that he would get the news so easily, Zhao Tianhe still asked very directly.

"yes, I know." However, to his surprise, this ordinary cashier actually knew!

Zhao Tianhe was also overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly stepped up his questioning, but the answer he got made him hesitate.

Because this high-grade spirit stone is placed on the five elements harmony array in the city, and the main function of this formation is to regulate the climate around the city, help agricultural production, and resist some natural disasters such as heavy rain and drought.

Zhao Tianhe's embarrassment is not that he is sympathetic to the people's livelihood or anything, but that there are two points.

First of all, according to the cashier, this thing was placed in the formation three years ago, and after such a long time, this high-grade spirit stone must have been consumed, even if it is brought to the task, admit it or not.

Also, how do you take this thing off? Where to pick it up?

Although the whole city knew about his existence in this Five Elements Harmony Array, and it was also hyped up by the city lord and the Five Elements Gate that set up this array, so he only knew that there was such a thing as a high-grade spirit stone, but he really didn't know where this formation was located!

The other thing is this five-element gate.

The sphere of influence in this world is made up of sects and city-states, and the city-state government is a people's livelihood political institution, and they have to pay some materials every year to the sect that provides military protection, called tribute.

For example, the spirit tree seedlings in Zhaojia Village in Hutougou are such a transaction, and it is not clear what it is in a big city like Huangtian City.

The protective force of Huangtian City is naturally the Hundred Beast Sect, but the problem is that this Hundred Beast Sect belongs to a sect organization called the Ten Thousand Immortal League.

And the various sects in this Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance are also divided into three, six, nine and so on, and the Hundred Beast Sect can be regarded as a middle and lower-level force at most.

The Ten Thousand Immortals League also has a leading sect, and they will elect a representative sect every twenty years, and this sect that is elected as a representative is usually called the Immortal Gate.

Of course, the name of the sect itself will not become Xianmen, and this title represents a rank.

And this immortal gate is not just a name, but also has actual benefits in it.

First of all, the Immortal Sect has the right to interfere with the adjustment policies of all the city-state governments in the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance, and at the same time, it can also take one percent of the tribute from all the sects.

In previous years, this twenty-year immortal sect was made up of five major sects that took turns to sit in the village, and they colluded with each other to form an internal top alliance, known as the Five Immortal Sects.

These five immortal gates will not collect tribute from each other even if you make an immortal gate, but will only take a formal meaning, and this customary rule has lasted for nearly five hundred years.

Although the following sects are all unhappy, but helplessly, these five immortal sects have monopolized and controlled nearly 50% of the resources and resource production areas in the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance, and they are full of talents and strength, even if they want to resist the reform, they don't have the courage and strength.

After all, there is not only one sect alliance in this world, the Wanxian League, and the other sect alliance systems are more stringent than the Wanxian Alliance, without the five immortal sects under external pressure, these small sects of the Wanxian Alliance will be swallowed up by those people sooner or later.

In addition, the five immortal sects have always been very well-behaved, and they will never take a penny from the small sects, so everyone will endure it.

But this rule changed more than a decade ago!

A new sect that unified more than a dozen small sects within the Ten Thousand Immortal League, the Five Elements Sect, appeared inexplicably, they defeated the five major immortal sects in the election competition that year, and successfully ascended to the throne to become a real 'immortal gate'!

And they didn't let go of even the five great immortal gates in terms of the commission, but the strange thing is that the five great immortal gates didn't give much reaction, but honestly handed over the commission.

After that, the Five Elements Gate began a series of strange operations......

They implemented a new type of immortal education in the private schools of various city-states, dividing the originally complex immortal arts into eight levels, of which the lowest yellow level immortal art can be learned as long as you are not mentally retarded.

Moreover, this kind of immortal education is carefully selected by the Five Elements Gate, which has no lethal power, but is useful for people's livelihood.

After gifted people have learned these spells and made a name for themselves, the Five Elements Sect will recommend these people to the local sect instead of directly incorporating them into their own hands.

It is precisely this that makes this education system greatly assisted by the local sect, after all, this method can more effectively screen out children with talents, who doesn't like to have a few more geniuses in their own door?

Not only that, but they also sent a large number of disciples to the various city-states to help the local government repair roads and bridges, reform agriculture, and distribute various high-yielding seeds that had been improved by immortal arts.

The neat tofu block building is the masterpiece of the Five Elements Gate, in addition to various water conservancy facilities and so on.

Including the Five Elements Harmony Great Array, they were also set up, and they also received the full support of the local sect and government.

After all, if the wind and rain are smooth every year, and the people's life is rich, the populous sect will also be able to obtain more resources and talents.

Listening to this series of general news, Zhao Tianhe was also confused, after all, the number of reforms is a bit too advanced!

"It's a professional, the urban planning, and the farmland planning outside are quite good." Surprisingly, Moore actually made such an assessment.

Looking at everyone's strange gazes, Moore said as a matter of course: "What do you see?" I'm a prince! I can see this little thing at a glance! ”

"Well, I've almost forgotten about it." Zhao Tianhe nodded and said with a smile. "But since that's the case, first of all, although the high-grade spirit stone seems to be rare, it is not to the point of being rare in the world, and it is estimated that it can still be obtained through peaceful means such as trading."

"Indeed." Cousta nodded. "I just don't know how many there are in this city, so I think it's better to ask the government."

"Mortal city lords may not be able to master this kind of high-level resources, isn't the Five Elements Gate cooperating with you when you drain liquids? I think the probability of shipping from the Hundred Beasts Gate is greater. Zhao Tianhe thought about it and said. In this way, to be on the safe side, Leah and Costa stayed in the city to investigate, and the rest of them went to the Hundred Beasts Gate together to keep in touch at all times. ”

Although there are clues, since the task requires three days, such a generous amount of time means that it is quite difficult to obtain this thing, and the success rate is naturally higher from two aspects.

But as Zhao Tianhe said, the probability of the mortal city lord's side of the shipment should be low, so only Kusta and Artoria were left here to roughly contact the government.

Zhao Tian and a few people flew out directly, while Artoria looked at the food on the table next to him for a moment.

It's been hours since I eaten!

"Hey, hey! Don't do that, okay? Anyway, I'll go to the City Lord's Mansion in a while and find a way to make some money. Kusta smiled and patted Artoria on the back, then took off to the Lord's Mansion in the middle of the city.

Artoria was in charge of visiting the streets to inquire about the situation.

"Whew, the staple food here is rice...... It's been a long time since I've eaten rice......" Artoria swallowed with envy as she looked at the people in the roadside stalls munching on fried rice.

Although she was a little depressed, Artoria, as the king of the palace, still cheered up and did her investigation!

Artoria's investigation went unexpectedly or unexpectedly, unexpectedly she actually found the clue to the spirit stone, and unexpectedly, her charm and intuition did bring her great convenience.

If Zhao Tian and this guy didn't use spirit-inducing spells, most people would be too lazy to say anything to him.

But Artoria's side is different, with a delicate and beautiful face, elegant and noble temperament, gentle conversation and soft voice, which makes everyone want to say more words to her.

"Come on, little girl, take this skewer, you are such a beautiful girl, you must be the eldest lady of a rich family, right? Haven't eaten it, have you? Keep staring at it, hehe......" An old woman handed Artoria a handful of cold skewers in an oiled paper bag.

"I'm sorry mother-in-law." Artoria shook her head a little embarrassed and declined. "I didn't have any money with me on this trip, and I didn't have anything to pledge, so thank you for your kindness."

"Take it, what kind of money is not money, you kid is just a rarity!" The old woman smiled and pushed the food into Artoria's hand, holding her hand and touching it. "What a good boy, this little hand must be a lady."

"Hmm...... Okay, thank you, mother-in-law. Artoria smiled a little awkwardly and nodded to take the food, then added. Rest assured, I'll pay you for the meal soon! ”

"Hey! What are you talking about! I'll come back next time! The old woman smiled and waved her hand.

"Hmm!" Artoria nodded, turned to look at the food in her hand and took a deep breath. "There are still a lot of good people in this world...... Well, it's delicious! ”

In this way, Artoria came to the door of a shop with a luxurious curtain.

This is the spirit stone shop she had heard about from that mother-in-law!

Yes, the spirit stones of this world can be bought and sold freely!

Of course, there are still two things to say whether there are high-grade spirit stones in this, and Artoria doesn't have much hope.

When the greeter at the door saw Artoria's dress and appearance, he thought that the ladies of the family had come to buy jewelry, and a young man greeted him.

The spirit stone shop not only sells spirit stones, but also sells all kinds of jade pendants. After all, even if the immortal arts in the city are promoted well now, there are still very few formal monks who can use the spirit stone to cultivate.

The spirit stone trade is not open for half a year, and the sales of jewelry pendants have become their daily main business.

Although Artoria is holding a poor snack from the next street in her arms, although this kind of food with a relatively large taste is generally not allowed to be eaten by the staff of the store, but the temperament and appearance, who dares to say a word? Not to mention a few skewers, even stinky tofu, they don't have the courage to say anything to Artoria!

This is like some shopping malls on the earth, although they say that they don't let delivery people in, but you change to a one-meter-eight white skin, beautiful pointed chin, and long legs, at first glance, it is a model and a female junior, carrying a LV bag and wearing a Meituan takeaway costume, do you think they let them in?

Regardless of whether this provision of the merchant is an overlord clause, from the bottom of their bones, they just feel that they can bully you, the food delivery person......

But if you change someone who is obviously rich, idle and powerful, maybe he still deliberately comes to you, and the person who dares to talk to you for a few years or more than ten years appears, and he doesn't dare to put a fart!

"This young lady, we have newly purchased a high-grade ice jade bracelet from the Arctic continent in our store, would you like to take a look?" Although it is only a crude embryo, the texture is excellent, and we have professional craftsmen here who can provide services such as customized or self-selected styles......" the young man introduced with a very skillful smile.

"I want spirit stones." Artoria said very directly. "Call someone from your side, I have a detailed request."

"Spirit stones?" The young man was also stunned when he heard this, and then he knew that he had met a big customer today!

Although Artoria doesn't look like a monk, this doesn't prevent relatives and friends, yes, it's perfect to give a spirit stone to a monk friend as a gift.

"Why did there suddenly come two orders today, and there was one order yesterday!" The shopping guide next to him asked the person next to him with some curiosity.

"Hey, you don't know that, do you?" The man said with a smile. "Three days later, it's the birthday of the second son of the city lord, and his kid has obtained a desolate certificate in the Five Elements Gate Immortal Class! At the age of twenty-five, he has a fourth-level certificate! An elder of the Hundred Beasts Sect has already spoken to accept him as an inner disciple! It is said that the apprenticeship ceremony will be held at the same time as this birthday! ”

"So, in the past few days, everyone who buys spirit stones is going to befriend the city lord's son? In this way, this girl is not small! The man suddenly realized.

"Not only is it not small, the one who can afford to send spirit stones must at least be the core of the eight major families in the city, and it must be the kind that has the real economic power, and I don't know which family this girl is...... But it's really strange, I haven't heard the slightest rumor or impression of such a beautiful girl......" The man scratched his head and said a little unwillingly. "It's insulting to my title of gossip king!"

Artoria ate, eating, eating, and finding that a bag of cold skewers was gone, frowned, looked around, and then walked to a room and threw the bag in the trash.
