At Chen Xiangsheng's insistence, Zhou Wenrong finally had to compromise. After making a decision, Zhou Wenrong took Chen Xiangsheng and drove all the way to Dongbai City, preparing to enroll in school as soon as possible.

Dongbai Castle is surrounded by mountains on three sides and is a city in the mountains. The northern part of Dongbai City is called Flame Mountain, the southern part is called Black Mountain, and the eastern part is called Liugang Mountain.

All three mountains are full of eastern cypress trees, and even in the city, eastern cypress trees can be seen everywhere.

The eastern cypress is a tree species with strong reproductive ability, cold tolerance, and strong disaster resistance. It can grow to tens of meters high, its roots can be rooted to more than ten meters deep, and it is the king of the snow.

After entering Dongbai City, Zhou Wenrong rented an inn for Chen Xiangsheng, and then helped him go through the enrollment procedures.

The environment of the guest room is very general, there is no furniture, a wooden bed, a table and a bathroom, which is more than 20 square meters.

After a few days of recuperation, Chen Xiangsheng's spirit and body have reached their peak state.

He sat on the wooden bed and took out the Awakening Stone from the Snow Dragon Pool from his pocket. At this time, the Awakening Stone no longer emitted light, but it was still clear and transparent, and the dark blue color was deep and mysterious.

According to the records in the ancient books, as long as he injects his spiritual power into the Awakening Stone, then he can activate the Awakening Stone, and then successfully awaken the second Spirit!

With Chen Xiangsheng's current physical strength, it is not a problem to carry another supernatural spirit.

His eyes were filled with excitement, according to his estimate, this should be an ice awakening stone, if he awakened the second supernatural, then his strength would be able to improve to another level!

Chen Xiangsheng held the Awakening Stone tightly, and a trace of silver-white spiritual power flowed from Chen Xiangsheng's body into the dark blue beads, and the dark blue beads emitted a faint light after absorbing the spiritual power.

And then...... There is no then, and the spiritual power infused into it is like a stone sinking into the sea, without the slightest wave. When Chen Xiangsheng stopped releasing his spiritual power, the light of the dark blue transparent beads also dimmed.

What's going on? Three question marks popped up on Chen Xiangsheng's head, could it be that I didn't input enough spiritual power?

In order to prove his idea, Chen Xiangsheng used all his strength this time, and the silver-white spiritual power flowed into the dark blue transparent beads like a surging river.

Compared to before, the light of the beads is more brilliant, but that's all. Chen Xiangsheng could feel that this transparent bead was like a bottomless pit, and his spiritual power disappeared without a trace after entering.

Chen Xiangsheng, who noticed that something was wrong, quickly interrupted the transmission of spiritual power, a few drops of sweat appeared on his forehead, and said in wonder: "This is not the Awakening Stone, I actually looked away, and I don't know what it is." ”

However, while this is not an Awakening Stone, it is certainly a rarity. Just its ability to drink spiritual power like water can also be seen to be a strange treasure.

Chen Xiangsheng pinched it between his fingers and looked at it carefully under the sun's rays, hoping to recall the relevant records in the ancient books to deduce what it was.

Suddenly, a beam of sunlight shone through the beads and directly into Chen Xiangsheng's eyes. He blinked, only to realize that there was a tiny hole in the center of the bead.

This turned out to be an ornament?

Chen Xiangsheng thought about it, put the dark blue transparent beads into his pocket, and then went downstairs and came to the street. In such a big city, it shouldn't be difficult to find a jewelry store, right?

Walking all the way forward, Chen Xiangsheng never found a jewelry store, but there were many people who sold exotic treasures and spirit crystals...... After a few more twists and turns, Chen Xiangsheng suddenly felt that the scenery around him had changed.

The glorious buildings gradually disappeared, and countless iron box houses, rag tents, and unfinished buildings appeared on the streets.

Everywhere you can see beggars and refugees sitting in the dark corners of the streets, some in their teens and some in their forties and fifties.

They were dressed in shabby cotton jackets, shivering against the wall, their faces were as earthy as their skin, and they were as thin as skin. It's a mix of fish and dragons, it's a place where it's full of wailing, and it's a miasma.

"Mom, I'm so hungry~" A girl with a thin face lay in the woman's arms and said weakly.

"Xiaohong is good, you won't be hungry when you fall asleep, go to sleep." The woman tearfully patted the girl's head and said, her palms were only bones, as if they would fall apart when the wind blew.

As she spoke, she gently shook the girl's body, trying to make her fall asleep quickly and get rid of the pain.

"Mom, I'm so hungry, I feel like I've seen a lot of good food, but I can't eat any of them."

The girl grabbed her mother's hand with the palm of her hand, which was also boneless, and pointed to the empty alley, which was a darkness that seemed to swallow everything.

"Xiaohong bear with it a little longer, and my mother will help you get it soon." The woman's voice was crying and trembling. Her bloodshot eyes looked around, meeting Chen Xiangsheng's eyes.

The woman seemed to grasp the straw and shouted with all her strength: "Sir, save my daughter, please, save my daughter......"

Chen Xiangsheng's heart seemed to be poked hard by this scene, he took a step forward, and suddenly dozens of pairs of eyes looked at him.

It was a pair of blood-red eyes, it was a hungry mad dog, and if he made a move, they would swarm him.

Chen Xiangsheng silently took another step back and continued to walk forward, letting the voiceless voice behind him echo in the air.

Occasionally, passers-by noticed the woman, but they didn't dare to look her in the eye, and hurried along, fearing that they couldn't help but give her alms in the next second.

The woman's voice was completely hoarse, she coughed violently, and the violent shaking of her body woke up the girl on the verge of sleep.

"Mom, what's wrong with you?"

The woman was about to say something when she suddenly noticed that the ground near the alley cracked, and two dirty buns rose.

She rubbed her eyes with her bone-only hand, and spat out a few unclear words in her hoarse throat: "Mom, it's early." ”

……

After turning an unknown number of corners, Chen Xiangsheng came out of the refugee cave again, he sighed, trying to smooth out the fluctuations in his heart.

This is the first time that Chen Xiangsheng has gone shopping in the city of Meng Danguo in the real sense, but he didn't expect to encounter such a thing.

Chen Xiangsheng looked at the few money left in his hand, and he didn't know if it was enough. The money was given to him by Zhou Wenrong when he left, so as not to need it from time to time, but he didn't give much in general.

After turning another corner, Chen Xiangsheng finally found a jewelry store.

This jewelry store is a vintage-style wooden house surrounded by bracelets, rings, necklaces...... and other ornaments, and the surrounding roofs are inlaid with long lamps, illuminating the ornaments under the glass cabinets.
