Chapter 819: Arctic City
Duan Chen's answer was obviously beyond the expectations of the old hall owner.
I saw him raise his eyebrows and said: "From the Nine Mountains and Seas to the Central Continent, the road is long, with your speed, even if nothing happens on the way, it will take at least a year or so, are you sure you want to go through it slowly?"
"The disciple is sure. Duan Chen nodded and said: "The disciple has been practicing so far, he has always spent time in cultivation and escape, and he has never had a good taste of the scenery of the Donghua Continent, the disciple plans to take this opportunity to travel to the Northern Regions and sharpen his state of mind by the way." ”
The old hall owner showed a hint of surprise on his face: "It's good that you can have this kind of thought, since that's the case, then you won't say much as a teacher, but don't forget that the Beiyuan Immortal Palace is in the Northern Regions, be careful in everything, but don't expose your whereabouts because of carelessness." ”
"The disciple understands. Duan Chen nodded, ended the interrogation with the old hall master, and flew away towards the nearest Terran city.
......
The Far North of the Northern Regions has a long coastline, and if you fly north, you will find the vast North Sea, and if you fly south, you will be a hilly area with undulating mountains and trees, and the grass will be thick, which should be a little-visited area.
However, since the establishment of an arctic city in Jiushanhai, with the development of various maritime trades, the number of monks and chambers of commerce has increased, and this originally inaccessible hilly area has gradually become prosperous.
At this time, it was approaching early morning, and the sky was still a little gray, but the entire Arctic city seemed to have woken up from its slumber, and ships with the flags of various chambers of commerce continued to anchor and leave in a hurry.
At the same time, on the city wall, a Yuanying monk who was in charge of the city defense was looking in the direction of the Nine Mountains Sea with a stern face, as if the news of the Kraken Clan's large-scale invasion of the Nine Mountains Sea had reached here.
And in the only teleportation hall in the city, there are even more long queues at this moment, and there are constantly monks leaving the Arctic City through the teleportation array, choosing to go inland to temporarily avoid the turmoil.
For a while, people in the entire Arctic City panicked, and even the streets that were a little impassable in the past became a little deserted at this time, and even the merchants who came out of the stalls were much less than usual.
At this time, on a street leading to the city gate in the city, there were two figures, one white and one gold, slowly moving forward from the direction of the city gate.
Among them, the figure in gold clothes was a middle-aged man with a stiff face and no expression on his face, like a puppet.
At this moment, the middle-aged man was following the white-clothed figure with a respectful face.
The white-clothed figure looks like he is no more than twenty or thirty years old, but the aura of the whole person is very restrained and deep, like a battle-hardened person.
This white-clothed figure was Duan Chen, who had just arrived in the Arctic City.
And the golden-clothed middle-aged man who followed Duan Chen's side was the first to transform into a flying golden corpse.
Today's first year of junior high school has cultivated to the realm of the Great Perfection in the late Yuan Infant period, and after realizing the realm of refining qi and transforming gods, he can break through to the stage of transforming into gods and become a flying corpse.
It's just that the realm of refining qi and transforming gods is not so easy to comprehend, so Duan Chen wants to take the first place by his side and let him appreciate the scenery of the outside world more, maybe it will help him realize the realm of refining qi and transforming gods.
"Master, it seems that the news of the Kraken Clan's large-scale invasion of the Nine Mountains and Seas has reached the Arctic City, and the people in the city are panicking right now, and it is estimated that there is nothing to visit. Looking at the closed doors on both sides of the street, and the shops with temporarily closed signs hanging on the doors, Chu Yi couldn't help but say.
"Isn't that right? The people in the city are terrified, so that no one notices us. Duan Chen's eyes fell on the edge of the city in the distance, and he looked at the guards standing on the city wall and said.
When he entered the city, his portrait was still posted at the gate of the city, and there was a wanted text for the Beiyuan Immortal Palace on it.
However, those monks guarding the city gate were full of thoughts about the Kraken Clan's large-scale invasion of the Nine Mountains and Seas at the moment, and they didn't do any more investigation of the two of them before they were directly released.
Of course, with Duan Chen's current cultivation, unless he met a monk of the same level, it would be really difficult for ordinary exploration methods to identify his disfigurement bone transformation technique.
"If you want me to say, you are still too cautious, the city lord of this Arctic city is just a mid-stage cultivator, even if your whereabouts are exposed, he can't help us. Chu Yi said nonchalantly.
"Having said that, but this is the Northern Regions after all, once my whereabouts are exposed, on the way to the Central Regions, it is estimated that I will have to avoid the pursuit of the Northern Source Immortal Palace all the time, where can I still wander on the streets as comfortably as now?" Duan Chen shook his head.
"Yes. Chu Yi nodded.
While the two were talking, they had already followed the street under their feet and came to the inner city of the Arctic City.
Compared with the calmness of the outer city of the Arctic city, the inner city is much more lively.
Although a few shops along the street have temporarily closed their doors, most of them are still open, but business looks a little bleak.
After all, no one knew if the army of the Kraken clan would attack the Arctic City, and the people in the city were panicked, and many monks had already left one after another, only a small number of powerful cultivators remained, and did not leave for the time being.
"Master, where are we going now?" Looking at the shops on both sides of the inner city street that were still open normally, Chu Yi couldn't help but show a hint of curiosity.
Since being subdued by Duan Chen, he has spent most of his time in the mountains and rivers to absorb evil qi and cultivate, rarely going to the outside world, and wandering around the streets like this is the first time since he was born with spiritual wisdom, so he can't help but be very curious about everything around him.
Seeing this, Duan Chen couldn't help but smile and said, "I just inquired, there is a branch of the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce in the inner city, let's go there first to inquire about the news, and then go on the road......"
However, before Duan Chen finished speaking, the whole person had already jumped out and came to a small stall on the side of the street, staring at the sugar man above, with a hint of novelty in his eyes.
"This senior, but how many skewers do you want to buy for the children at home?" Standing behind the stall was a somewhat lean man, who seemed to mistake the first year of junior for an elder who was going to buy candy for the younger generation, and greeted him warmly.
"Master, what is this?" Chu Yi heard this, but he couldn't help but turn his head to look at Duan Chen.
"This is a kind of candy man blown out of the mouth, called blowing candy man, which is a very old folk craft, which is rarely seen nowadays. Duan Chen glanced at the various sugar figures inserted in the stall, and his eyes couldn't help but show a touch of reminiscence.
"Candy blowers?" Chu Yi's eyes lit up, and he immediately turned his head to look at the stall owner and said, "I want all these candy blowers." ”
After saying that, with a wave of his big hand, he put away all the sugar people in the stall, and then walked straight forward, as if he didn't intend to pay.
Seeing this, Duan Chen couldn't help but smile helplessly, and then threw out a medium-grade spirit stone to the stall owner who was about to stop the first year of junior high school, and then hurriedly chased after it.
The further you go to the inner city, the more pedestrians and stalls there are on the road, and it is clear that not everyone is worried that the Kraken army will attack this side.
"Master, this candy man tastes really good, do you want to try it?" Just as Duan Chen was casually observing the stalls and shops on both sides of the street, Chu Yi reached out and handed over a butterfly-shaped sugar man and asked.
"No, eat it yourself. Looking at the first year of junior high school who looked like a child, Duan Chen smiled and continued to walk forward.
Walking to a street corner, the two came to the destination of their trip, which was the branch of the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce in the Arctic City.
This is an attic building covering an area of several acres, and the main entrance of the attic also hangs the sign of the Arctic City Branch of the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce.
In addition, on both sides of the attic gate, there is a wooden sign with the words "Monks below the age of the first child please go to the right, and monks of the age of the first child and above please go to the left".
"I can't imagine that there are still differences in the business models of different branches of the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce. Duan Chen raised his eyebrows slightly, and chose to take Chu Yi towards the left side of the attic.
As soon as the two of them entered the left side of the attic, a Jindan nun with a plump figure and a gorgeous appearance walked quickly in front of the two with an enthusiastic face.
"I don't know that the two seniors are coming, and the younger generations are far away. After the Jindan Lady sensed the Yuan Infant aura released by Duan Chen and Chu Yi, she immediately saluted with a hint of respect on her face.
"I heard that your Four Seas Chamber of Commerce also sells intelligence, I don't know if it's true or not?" Duan Chen nodded slightly, so he asked in a light voice with a high-ranking posture.
"Naturally it's true, if the two seniors are here to inquire about the news, then they can be regarded as coming to the right place, the news of my Four Seas Chamber of Commerce has always been the most well-informed, but I don't know what news the two seniors want to inquire about?"
"How do you calculate the price?" Duan Chen asked without answering.
"It depends on the level of intelligence you want to explore, and the price of information of different values is also different, so you can't generalize. The Jindan nun said with a deep groan.
"I see. When Duan Chen heard this, he thought for a moment and asked, "I heard before that the Demon God Society and the Beiyuan Immortal Palace have reached an agreement on sharing the inheritance key of the Heavenly Machine Pavilion, I don't know how this matter will progress in the future?"
"This ...... I also ask the seniors to forgive their sins, the juniors are just a small deacon of the Chamber of Commerce, like the seniors said about such confidential matters, the juniors are not qualified to contact, and I also ask the seniors to wait for a while, and after the juniors have passed the ceremony, the seniors will be received by someone with a higher status. ”
The Jin Dan nun said with a look of shame, and then led Duan Chen and Chu Yi to a living room to sit down, and then left quickly.
Not long after, a middle-aged Confucian student dressed in a Confucian robe with a strong bookish atmosphere hurried over after hearing the news.
Judging from his cultivation, he is a great monk who has reached the late Yuan Infant stage, and it seems that his status in the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce is not low.
