Chapter Seventy-Five: Shangyang City
A few hours later.
Fly over hundreds of kilometers.
In the distance, you can see a castle built around a high mountain.
In terms of the size of the area, it is about the same size as an ordinary county town in Yue Kingdom, and there is no peculiar landscape at a cursory glance.
It's just ordinary, mediocre.
Yu Xian almost wondered if he had flown in the wrong direction.
He took out the map he had bought from the oasis and checked the surrounding landmarks many times, and finally confirmed in disappointment that this was Shangyang City, the city that had been equated with the fairy city in his heart.
Once upon a time, one of his dreams was to achieve success in cultivation and then move into this fairyland-like city in the mouth of the cultivator.
When he was still more than ten miles away from Shangyang City, Yu Xian had already seen the crowd, so he slowly landed from the air with Magnolia and chose to walk into the city.
Although Shangyang City is far from the immortal city in his heart, it also hides dragons and crouching tigers, and there are many masters.
He is a newcomer and doesn't know any rules, so it's better to keep a low profile.
Flying over other people's heads with such a big grin, and meeting someone with a small heart, maybe you will have an enmity with someone.
There is a gallop road on the road, and there are rut marks left by the convoy ahead.
The two of them walked along the gallop road, and soon saw the walls of Shangyang City.
Beneath the city walls are a patchwork of shanty towns.
Except for some exquisite courtyard houses and two-story small attics, most of them are simply built with a shed and a fence, which is considered a house.
Yu Xian also saw those who fed chickens and ducks, full of life.
Seeing this scene, Yu Xian's eyes showed a look of memory.
When he farmed for a certain Xiuxian family, he lived in such a shantytown, which had no advantages, mainly because it was simple to build and dismantled as you go.
In the middle of the shantytown, there was a long and wide avenue leading to the city gate.
On both sides of the road, there were monks setting up stalls.
From time to time, there were people quarreling over the stalls, and the sound spread far away, attracting monks similar to the posture of the chengguan, and soon blasted the quarrelsome stall owners away.
However, the stall owners here seem to be very well-behaved, only simple shouting, and no behavior of soliciting customers.
Yu Xian took Yulan's hand, and the two of them stopped and stopped, just looking at it and not selling it, but they were secretly frightened.
He thought there were no good things at the roadside stalls, but after a closer look, he realized that the stalls here were of extremely high quality.
Pills, magic weapons, spirit runes, medicinal materials, rare ores, spirit pets......
Sell everything.
However, Yu Xian was relieved when he thought that this was Shangyang City.
Walking through the avenue, Yu Xian saw the city wall up close.
The walls of Shangyang City are not high, about five or six zhang, and they are not half as high as the palace walls of the Yue Imperial Palace.
However, Yu Xian carefully discovered that the material used to build the city wall was a brick smelted from an unknown metal, and each brick was engraved with shallow runes.
Some of the bricks had dried blood stains that had not been washed away, and they seemed to have become part of the city walls.
The entire city wall seems to be connected, and there is an impregnable momentum.
"This Shangyang City doesn't seem to be very peaceful."
An idea came to Yu Xian's mind.
The gate of the city arrived.
It's very lively outside the city.
The flow of people into the city is sparse.
Among them, most of them are monks, and there are a small number of martial artists, who are full of evil spirits, and they don't look very easy to mess with.
But these warriors are instead following the immortal cultivators, similar to the existence of guard slaves.
Immortal cultivators are naturally affinity to aura, and they exchange frequently with the aura around them, as if they were breathing.
Although martial artists can also use aura simply, the way they use it is more like a kind of plunder, and the interaction with the aura around them is more blunt, and there is a taste of forceful pulling.
After reading more, it is easy to distinguish the difference between the two.
This is also the reason why Yu Xian was reluctant to make a casual move in the mortal world before, in case he met his peers, his identity as an immortal cultivator would be exposed.
Of course, now that he has achieved great success, Jin Dan Zhenren will only let others see what he should see.
The city gate official was a middle-aged male monk in the late stage of Qi training, and when he saw that Yu Xian and the two did not take out the token to enter the city, he took the initiative to ask:
"This is your first time in town?"
"Yes."
"Pay the entrance fee first, and one spirit stone per person."
Hearing this, Yu Xian was secretly speechless.
Good guy, he can actually enter a city with one-third of his annual income.
No wonder everyone puts their houses outside the city and is reluctant to go into the city.
After two trips to the city, his net worth was gone.
But he didn't say much, the monk in front of him just now was at this price, not bullying and targeting them outsiders.
After handing over the two spirit stones, the city gate official turned over his palm and took out two bamboo plaques.
"Your names?"
"Spare time."
"Magnolia."
The two replied honestly, one after the other.
They came here to practice, they were innocent, they didn't steal or rob, and naturally they didn't mind revealing their real names.
"This is your token to stay until dark, and if you want to stay in the city, you must find a place to live and give you a temporary residence certificate.
At night, there will be patrols in the city, and if you find a stranded monk, you will be fined ten times, so take note of yourselves. ”
The city gate official handed the bamboo plaque with the engraved names to the two of them, and said in a slightly warning tone.
Yu Xian nodded, and entered the city with Yulan, who was obviously a little nervous.
Airplanes!
The moment you enter the city, there is a fresh breeze blowing in your face.
Just like entering the oasis from the Sea of Death a few days ago, the clear environment between the two allowed Yulan to directly break through the middle stage of Qi training.
And now Yu Xian feels the same way.
The concentration of spiritual energy in the city is at least fifty percent higher than that outside the city!
You've come to the right place!
Yu Xian was secretly pleasantly surprised.
Sure enough, you get what you pay for, there is a reason why it is expensive, Yulan is practicing here, and I hope to add at least one more point to the foundation.
Right now.
A man approached on his own initiative.
"Dare to ask the two immortal masters, but it's the first time they've come to Shangyang City?"
Yu Xian looked at the person, nodded and said:
"Not bad."
The man is about forty years old, with a Chinese face, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a somewhat fat figure, but you can vaguely see a little handsome when he was young.
Hearing the answer at this moment, his face was full of smiles.
"The little Zhou Fan, who has lived in Shangyang City for decades, is very familiar with the city, if the immortal master wants a guide, the small one can serve the immortal master."
Yu Xian was surprised: "Can you afford to live in a house in the city?" ”
If you go to the city, you will get a spirit stone, but if you want to spend money in the city, this person is just a mortal, and he can afford to live in a house in the city.
Zhou Fan's face stiffened with a smile, and he said with a wry smile:
"If you return to the immortal master, the younger one is to inherit the legacy of the ancestors, and there is a tile to cover his head in the city, so he doesn't have to pay temporary residence fees."
Yu Xian suddenly understood and asked, "Okay, I do need a guide, what price do you want?" ”
Zhou Fan looked overjoyed, and quickly replied: "A small day only needs three taels of spirit sand." ”
"Fellow Daoist, I only need three taels of spiritual sand, and there are some places in this city that you can't enter without cultivation."
A Qi Refining Cultivator who had been observing for a long time suddenly spoke up.
Yu Xian didn't answer, but asked Zhou Fan: "I plan to buy a suite in the city, can you do it?" ”
"Yes."
Zhou Fan hesitated slightly, and then nodded heavily.
"Fellow Daoist, I can also introduce you to a house."
The monk behind him was still trying.
Seeing that Yu Xian did not look back, the monk took a sip and said in a low voice:
"Made, even if this surnamed Zhou is lucky, he can survive for a few more days."
Zhou Fan explained while leading the way in front.
"Let the immortal master see and laugh, that person has always wanted to buy a villain's house, and he has been pressing it very hard recently."
Yu Xian shook his head and said, "I don't care about your business, I pay, you do things, that's all." ”
Zhou Fan suddenly fell silent.
