Chapter 21 The annexed city is prosperous
Zhou Yang heard Uncle Zhong say that there are 3,000 cities in the northern part of the Hezhou continent alone, and Tuyan City is only a very small one. The largest of them is called Suiling City, which is extremely far away. And Anping City can only be regarded as a middle-class city in the north of Hezhou, and it belongs to the level of attached cities.
As for how big the Hezhou Continent is, not to mention him, even the masters of the Tianyuan Realm can't tell. I heard that ordinary cultivators will never reach the end in their lifetime, and this is only one continent, how many continents there are in the world, there are different opinions.
There are nine states in the world and four seas, and there are also eighteen states, and some people even say that there are not only eighteen states in the world, but thirty-six states, and three boundless seas.
As for which one is right, no one can say, because no one has ever finished the world. Zhou Yang had seen the most extensive map of the region, and it only roughly depicted a few cities in the northernmost part of the Hezhou continent.
However, with the teleportation array, the communication between the cities in the Hezhou continent is also convenient, but the cost is too high. There is a super long teleportation array in the big city, and the spirit stones that cost one time can scare Zhou Yang to death.
"I don't know which masters built these teleportation arrays. Zhou Yang sighed secretly.
There are also some discussions about teleportation arrays in the Danshu Essentials, but there is not much content, and he can't understand it at the moment.
It's night, and you can't go into the city yet, so you can only sleep outside the city. They found a clearing not far from the teleportation array and meditated on the spot. Chihu was lying quietly beside Zhou Yang, and he also took a nap by himself.
The next morning, the gates were opened.
The two of them came to the city gate, but were stopped by the guards, who knew that they were going to pay the entrance fee.
Non-residents of Anping City have to pay a spirit stone entrance fee, and they have to pay it every time they enter the city.
Zhou Yang took two first-grade spirit stones, and the two of them and one tiger entered this strange and expectant city.
Anping City is very large, at least equivalent to eight or nine Tu Yan. The whole city is boxy, the terrain is flat, there are no peaks in the city, there are wastelands and dense forests all around outside the city, there is a big mountain more than 2,000 miles to the west, called Cangbeast Mountain, there are many monsters in the mountain, and there are many high-grade monsters rampant.
There is also a spirit stone vein in the Cangbeast Mountain, which is controlled by several major sects in the city.
The streets in Anping City are very wide, there are many pavilions and pavilions, and the styles are roughly the same. The streets are full of people. All kinds of shops are lined up, very lively, and you can see Lingtai realm cultivators everywhere, and occasionally you can meet Tianyuan masters.
In Tuyan City, Tianyuan masters rarely show up, and most of the people who walk around on weekdays are low-level cultivators of the Kaiyuan Realm, and there are not many Lingtai Realms, which shows the strength of Anping City.
Zhou Yang originally thought that the masters of the Tianyuan Realm would fly in the city, so he naturally wanted to open his eyes. But to his disappointment, along the way, he didn't see a single flying cultivator.
The two of them had just entered Anping, so they didn't know that flying was not allowed at low altitude in Anping City. That is to say, it is allowed to fly at high altitude by flying spirit beasts or flying magic weapons, but it is absolutely forbidden to fly below 100 zhang.
And there are not many Tianyuan cultivators in Tu Yancheng, and it is difficult to see them on weekdays, so there is no such thing as forbidden space.
Of course, the powerful aura of the Tian Yuan cultivators was very intimidating, and they only dared to look at it from afar.
Zhou Yang didn't find Liberty Square City here, so he asked Tiehu. Tiehu said that Liberty Square might be in the West Side, but their current location is north of the city, so they are far away.
Zhou Yang didn't dare to stay on the street for a long time, they wanted to find a remote place to live, and then make a decision after learning more about the situation in Anping City.
They walked along a wide street for about two sticks of incense, and when they were hungry, they went to a street tea stall and asked for two cups of tea and some snacks to eat and drink.
Zhou Yang took out some leftover pork from his skin and threw it to Chihu, who began to gobble it up.
The guy finished delivering the refreshments and was just about to leave, Zhou Yang stopped him and asked, "This brother, we want to find a cheaper place to live, it doesn't matter if we are far away, can you give me some advice?"
The guy glanced at the two of them and said, "Presumably the two of you are new to Anping, right? ”
"Oh. How many spirit stones are there per month?" Zhou Yang nodded and asked again.
"The cheapest is seventy or eighty first-grade spirit stones per month, and it's hard to say how expensive they are. ”
Zhou Yang was speechless. In this way, it is even more expensive to bring the earth fire, and it is not more than a hundred spirit stones a month! It is much more expensive than Tu Yancheng.
"Brother, is Liberty Square City in Xicheng, how to get closer?"
"Exactly, follow this street south to the end, and then go west through three streets. ”
"Thank you so much, brother. Zhou Yang nodded in thanks.
Xicheng should be a gathering place for low-level cultivators, so it's cheap. Liberty Square is there, so it's much easier to buy things.
Zhou Yang didn't want to enter the store now, he didn't have many spirit stones left, there were only more than one hundred and twenty pieces left in the spirit stone bag, and there would be no more than twenty pieces on Tie Hu's body.
Lingshi didn't think about it for a while, if he rented a quiet room with earth fire for alchemy, then who would sell the elixir to? If there was another situation like Jubaozhai, he would really be desperate. If you don't sell pills, how can you live?
Zhou Yang drank tea while thinking about his future livelihood.
After breakfast, the two led the red tiger to Xicheng.
Xicheng was really not close to this place, and it took them about an hour to reach their destination.
Compared with Beicheng, the streets are obviously smaller, and there are many fewer shops, and most of the cultivators in the past are below Tianyuan, mainly Lingtai and Kaiyuan Realm. However, there is one difference, and that is that the area is much larger than that of the North City.
After crossing two more streets, they came to an open field. The pattern of this place is similar to the Liberty Square Market in Tuyan City, but it is much larger, and this is the Liberty Square City in Xicheng.
However, as soon as Zhou Yang entered Liberty Square City, he subconsciously looked up, because he felt that a gaze swept over him, but after looking around, he didn't find anyone paying attention to him.
Shaking his head, he thought to himself: "It's the first time I've come back to Anping Xicheng, and I will never have acquaintances, so I'm too worried." ”
In Fang City, Zhou Yang found that the materials here were much more complete than those in Tu Yancheng, and they were not at the same level in terms of type and quantity, and the materials that Tu Yancheng could not see could be seen here.
According to his experience, there should be many uncommon materials in the store, not to mention pills, magic weapons, etc., this Anping City's overall strength is really much higher than Tu Yan's.
There is a lot of traffic in Liberty Square, and there are many more people buying things than selling things, and the transactions are very hot. Zhou Yang estimates that there should be many buyers from other cities who come here to trade.
There are also mortal activities in the market. The mortals drove the wagons laden with goods through the streets, but carefully dodged the other vehicles and cultivators.
Horse-drawn carriages are exclusive to mortals, and cultivators generally do not use them, because the speed and endurance of horses cannot keep up with the pace of cultivators, especially in the wasteland, and horses are even worse.
Zhou Yang and his entourage looked around in Liberty Square City, lingering and forgetting to return, which was an eye-opener.
There are also many stalls in the market that sell all kinds of spirit herbs and elixirs, mainly spirit animal food. Zhou Yang didn't have much contact with spirit beasts, and he didn't know which spirit beasts ate grass and which ones ate meat. The Red Flame Horned Tiger definitely eats meat, and the amount of food is not small.
In fact, most of the spirit animals raised are grass-eating, and the grass they eat is different depending on the level. Spirit beasts above level three need to provide spirit grass or low-level spirit beasts as spiritual food, such as the blue birds, the birds to be separated, monitor lizards, earth dragons, etc., which Zhou Yang has seen.
First- and second-level spirit beasts or low-level spirit beasts that cannot be upgraded can not be fed spirit grass, ordinary grass is sufficient, such as rock grass, yellow extension grass, wild mountain grass, etc., and most of these low-level spirit beasts are also spiritual food of intermediate and high-level spirit beasts.
Some of the elixirs on the stall are also specially for spirit beasts, such as the dragon grass that improves the physical strength of spirit beasts, the earth fairy flower that assists spirit beasts in ascending, and the Mochizuki golden orchid that accelerates the growth rate, and so on.
Zhou Yang also found that some stalls had been buying a large number of spiritual herbs and elixirs for a long time, and even purchased a large number of Yanzhong grass.
There are grass in the rocks in the mountains, and they grow on the rocks.
Anping is a plain city, only more than 2,000 miles away in the west there is a big mountain, where the grass in the rock is produced, but because it is far away from the city, it is extremely dangerous for low-level cultivators to go to the Cangbeast Mountain, plus the price of grass in the rock is not expensive, and high-level cultivators disdain to collect, so the grass in the rock in Anping City is in short supply.
"There is grass in the rocks on the Daqing Mountain, why don't you get here to trade?" Zhou Yang's eyes lit up, but then he was disappointed. Because the cost of the teleportation array is too high, it is estimated that the Iwanaka grass brought each time will not be able to sell the teleportation fee.
If you use a space storage bag, the amount you can bring each time will be large, and the cultivator who can buy the storage bag will earn this spirit stone.
For a while, Zhou Yang couldn't think of a better way.
The mounts of the cultivators here are mainly low-level spirit beasts, and the earthly dragons are used to transport goods. The grade of the Earth Walking Dragon is not high, but its body is huge, and it can carry people and goods. Occasionally, high-level cultivators ride monitor lizards and other spirit beasts to purchase goods here.
The two of them walked around for more than two hours, turning from east to west, and the whole area in the west was actually a trading area for spirit beasts.
There are many kinds of spirit animals, large and small. There are flying spirit beasts, substitute spirit beasts, treasure hunting beasts, pet beasts, and demon beasts that are used as food for high-level spirit beasts, what kind of spirit beasts you need, it seems that they can satisfy you here, as long as there are spirit stones. If you can't afford it, you can rent it.
Zhou Yang even found a green wolf, but this kind of green wolf was of a higher grade than the green wolf that attacked him at the beginning, most of them were above the third level, and the coat color was not pure cyan, but blue-green.
When he saw these green wolves for the first time, he was really taken aback. He almost died under the claws of the green wolf before, once he was beaten by a snake, and he was afraid of the well rope for ten years, so he couldn't help but dodge.
However, these green wolves are docile and have no intention of attacking people. Zhou Yang cautiously moved forward, but those green wolves didn't react yet.
After asking with some embarrassment, he learned that these green wolves had been tamed, and they were the mounts of the cultivators, and they could be rented and sold here, which was very convenient. After hearing this, he was relieved.
