Chapter 531: The Inn
Di Chong spent ten spirit stones and entered the Ice Moon City, this spirit stone is naturally nothing to Di Chong, but for ordinary Qi cultivation period cultivators, it can be regarded as a lot of wealth.
Di Chong knew from where the guards were that because he was a foundation building monk, he only needed to pay the entrance fee of ten spirit stones, and if he was a monk in the Qi cultivation period, the price would be doubled.
After entering, Di Chong found that not only was the city wall of Ice Moon City made of huge ice, but even many large buildings in the city were built with ice, which looked like it had a unique flavor, and people came and went on the streets, a thriving scene.
Most of them were monks in the Qi cultivation period, and the foundation building monks could only account for a small part, while the Jindan monks were rare, and occasionally they could detect a trace of the mana aura of the Jindan monks.
Di Chong walked slowly down the street, while secretly pondering his plan.
If you want to blend into the Ice Moon Palace, you only need to pretend to be a Qi cultivation period monk, and it is not difficult to sneak into it under the pretense of worshipping the sect, but in this way, it will probably be extremely difficult to explore the information of Xuanbing True Water as a Qi cultivation period monk.
Even Yuan Infant Stage cultivators like Zhuyue Zhenren, who were still from the Lin family, a big family in the Ice Moon Palace, still couldn't know where Xuanbing True Water was collected, let alone as a Qi cultivation period cultivator?
According to the memories of the real people month by month, there are more than a dozen Yuanying monks in the Ice Moon Palace, and there are several great monks in the late Yuanying period, not to mention the old monster of the Shenlong Transformation Period, if he is careless and reveals his identity, he may not be able to escape death.
After thinking about it, Di Chong felt that he still needed to pretend to be a monk from the Ice Moon Palace to mix in, and it was best if his cultivation status was higher, so that he could facilitate his actions in the future.
In this way, you can only pretend to be a monk in the Jindan period or the foundation building period.
Although Di Chong was on the chassis of the Ice Moon Palace at this time, it was not difficult to kill a Jindan Monk or a Foundation Cultivator quietly with his strength cultivation, and the difficulty was that after killing him, he would not attract the attention of the Ice Moon Palace.
Even if it is a big sect like the Ice Moon Palace, the number of Jindan monks will not be too much, at most there are more than a hundred people, but these Jindan monks are the backbone of the entire sect, I am afraid that most of them will have things like the Divine Soul Card or the Yuan Shen Lantern in the sect, once someone falls, I am afraid that the Ice Moon Palace will know for the first time.
Therefore, Di Chong can only start among the monks in the foundation building period, such as the Bingyue Palace, the monks in the foundation building period must have hundreds of people, and there may be thousands of people, so occasionally a foundation building monk disappears, which may not attract much attention.
Therefore, in the end, Di Chong could only pay attention to these foundation building monks, but before taking specific actions, he still needed to find out the situation of Ice Moon City and Ice Moon Palace, after all, the memory of the real people of the moon was more than a thousand years ago, and what kind of situation the Ice Moon Palace was like today still needs to be investigated.
Before he knew it, Di Chong had already walked through several streets, and when he looked up, he saw the sign of an inn appear in front of him.
"Yuelai Inn!" This inn looks quite large, and its buildings are also built of ice, with as many as five floors, compared to the other buildings around, it is much more imposing, and it feels like it stands out from the crowd.
Di Chong then walked towards the inn, and at this time, Di Chong also wanted to know what it was like to live in such a cold building.
"Welcome seniors! Do you want to play a sharp game or live in a hotel?"
As soon as Di Chong entered the door, a Xiao Si, who looked to be in his twenties, greeted him and asked with a smile on his face.
Hearing this, Di Chong turned his head and glanced at this person, it seemed that he had a cultivation in the middle stage of Qi cultivation and was about to enter the late stage, with such a cultivation at such a young age, his qualifications should be good, but he didn't expect to be a shopkeeper here.
Although he was a little puzzled, Di Chong had no interest in asking, and then said: "I want an upper room, it's better to be quiet and quiet, and the rest doesn't matter." ”
"Okay, senior, please come with me, our store just happens to be empty now, and they are all quiet. ”
Xiao Si led Di Chong towards the counter, and after a simple check-in, Di Chong followed Xiao Si upstairs, until the fifth floor, and then led Di Chong to a guest room.
The room is just facing away from the street, looking through the window, behind is a pond of considerable scale, from time to time there will be some insects and birds singing, the environment looks good, the layout is also elegant, after looking at it, Di Chong is quite satisfied with this room.
"Yes, let's stay in this one. ”
"It's good if the seniors like it, and the little ones won't disturb the seniors to rest. ”
After finishing speaking, Xiao Si walked towards the door, and when he was about to go out, he suddenly turned his head to look at Di Chong, looking like he wanted to say something.
"What's the matter?" Di Chong was slightly displeased when he saw this.
"Don't get me wrong, the little one just wants to ask the seniors if they need some wine and food?"
Hearing this, Di Chong's mind moved, and after a little thought, he said, "Isn't there anything special about the wine and food in your store?"
This little Si knows that he is a foundation building monk, and he still asks this kind of question, there must be a mystery in it.
"Senior, you are really as wise as a torch, the shop is one of the industries of the Ice Moon Palace, whether it is cereals, fruits and vegetables, grains, and all kinds of meat, they are all carefully cultivated in the palace, and the fine wine is also brewed with various spirit fruits, and it is actually refined in mana. When Xiao Si introduced these, there was a sense of pride on his face.
"Oh, so this meal shouldn't be cheap!"
"Hehe, this price may be a bit high for a small Qi cultivation stage cultivator, but for a monk of this strength of the senior, it shouldn't be too expensive. ”
"Okay, let's have a couple of signature dishes, a pot of spirit bar. ”
"Okay, senior, wait a minute, I'll be there soon!" Xiao Si responded, and hurriedly walked downstairs.
Seeing the excitement of this Xiao Si when he heard that he needed wine and food, Di Chong couldn't help but smile with emotion, counting things like spirit wine and spirit vegetables, he really hadn't eaten them for many years, not because these things were rare and rare, but because he rarely paid attention to this aspect of things.
I didn't expect to be introduced by this Xiao Si for a while today, and I was faintly a little greedy.
Di Chong himself also came from a low-level disciple, and he can understand very well that low-level monks have to do many seemingly helpless things in order to earn cultivation resources such as spirit stones, since this is the industry of the Ice Moon Palace, then this Xiao Si Bacheng is a low-level disciple of the Ice Moon Palace, and being a shopkeeper here is estimated to be only a task in the sect.
It is estimated that this meal for himself, this Xiao Si should earn a lot of spirit stones from it.
After a while, Na Xiao Si reappeared in Di Chong's room, quickly placed the wine and food on the table, and then said, "Senior, please use it slowly, the chef's skills in this restaurant are also well-known in Ice Moon City, and I guarantee that you will be satisfied with your food." ”
"Oh, don't worry, how many spirit stones are there in total?"
Di Chong didn't go to eat and drink first, but asked about the price first, which made Xiao Si's face tense slightly, and said with a slightly embarrassed smile: "A total of one hundred and sixty-five spirit stones are needed!"
The spirit stone mentioned here is naturally a low-grade spirit stone, and the spirit stone above the middle grade is only used in the hands of a few foundation building monks and Jindan monks.
As soon as he saw that the other party made a move, he looked happy, he had been a shopkeeper here for a long time, and he also had some experience in observing words and feelings, since the other party was so generous, then he must be a wealthy person.
After accepting the spirit stone, Xiao Si said, "The little one will give you change!"
"No need, the extra is a tip. ”
Hearing this, Xiao Si naturally smiled and said, "Thank you seniors, thank you seniors!" There are dozens of spirit stones at once, which is equivalent to a month's salary for himself.
"It's the first time I've been to Icemoon City, so I want to ask something about Icemoon City. ”
This Xiao Si can also be regarded as a vigilant person, and when he heard Di Chong put forward this condition, his expression froze again, and then he said: "As long as the senior is not asking about the Ice Moon Palace Sect, the little one must know everything and say everything." ”
In the middle of the night, Di Chong was lying on a stone bed in the room, but his eyes were looking at the bright moon in the sky through the window.
From the inn Xiao Si, Di Chong still got a lot of information, about this ice wall ice house, it is not his own expectation, it is a thousand years of cold ice taken from the top of the snow-capped mountain, and after being built, it is supplemented by a formation prohibition to ensure that it will not be melted.
The surrounding city walls are made of 10,000-year-old ice, and in addition to generally preventing the prohibition of melting formations, there is also a powerful protective array.
The reason why there are so many monks in Icemoon City is that in addition to the fact that the Icemoon Palace is not far from here, there are several snowfields and mountains on the northwest and northeast sides of the city. There are a lot of resources in it, and the Ice Moon Palace does not take it as its own, so many monks come here to hunt for treasures and collect materials.
According to Di Chong's estimate, the Ice Moon Palace did not take these places for itself, not because it did not have such strength, but because it deliberately left them.
The more monks enter the Ice Moon City, the more spirit stone materials the Ice Moon Palace will earn, just like enjoying that delicious meal today, just a few side dishes and a household of spirit wine will cost more than a hundred spirit stones.
These things may still have some effect on the monks in the foundation building period of the Qi cultivation period, but for the monks of the realm of Di Chong, the effect is already minimal, almost negligible.
Di Chong also had to admire the ingenuity of this Ice Moon Palace, as long as these dangerous places were guaranteed to be open to the outside world, then a steady stream of monks would gather in Ice Moon City, and the Ice Moon Palace would naturally have a steady stream of wealth.
