Chapter Ninety-Nine: Three Years of Farewell
Qingcang City is located in the southeast of the Huaxia Dynasty, located in the easternmost part of Yanzhou and the westernmost point of Huangzhou.
As the westernmost city in Huangzhou, Qingcang City is geographically remote, but it is not as deserted and dilapidated as imagined, on the contrary, even if you have not entered the city, you can see the lively scene of people coming and going.
Although Qingcang City in Huangzhou cannot be compared with the state city, it is also among the best in the second-rate cities in Huangzhou, because as the junction of Yanzhou and Huangzhou, there are no less than a few top sects here, and some families are even more entrenched here.
Although this is the junction of Yanzhou and Huangzhou, but the two sides of the junction are like two places, on one side is surrounded by mountains there is a special Rouge County of beauty, Jiao and Niang, and on the other side is Huangzhou that gradually enters the plain, the majestic and somewhat magnificent city Qingcang City, representing the official entry into the boundary of Huangzhou!
At this moment, after a night of cultivation in the Paradise Palace, Zhao Jiuge and the three of them rushed for half a day, and finally passed through the somewhat long remote place between the two states.
The three of them, who had just crossed a winding mountain, were not far from Qingcang City at this time, looking at the top city in Huangzhou with curious eyes.
The entire Qingcang City has a vast area, close to the direction of the main gate, Zhao Jiuge can't see the edge when he looks at the past, which shows how vast Qingcang City is.
In addition to a capital city in the Huaxia Dynasty, there was a state city in each state, and below was the second-rate city in each state, and Qingcang City was at this end, and at the bottom were naturally some third-rate cities and some villages and towns.
Since Zhao Jiuge practiced, he had seen the huge and shocking capital, and he had also experienced various cities along the way, but it was the first time he had seen a lively city like Qingcang City. Saying that it is lively and prosperous is just that feeling, compared to the real comparison, Qingcang City is naturally far from comparable to the capital, but the kind of people standing in the city can hear the people in Qingcang City and the extraordinary noise, which can't help but make Zhao Jiuge a little yearning, he has been in a sect or some sinister place for so many years, and the long-lost noise makes him seem to have returned to the village where he lived at the beginning, and he has come into contact with the world again, maybe only at this time does he know that he is more down-to-earth and popular, not the chief disciple of the Xuantian Sword Sect who came out of the dust。
As the name suggests, the whole Qingcang is built with a huge cyan stone block of one or two meters, without the magnificence of splendor, without revealing the simplicity of the vicissitudes of life, but it gives people a refreshing comfort, and there is no reason for people to feel inexplicably better, Zhao Jiuge thought to himself, maybe this is the first time he has seen the city after he has been practicing for so long, and the lively appearance of people coming and going has infected him.
Zhao Jiuge was wearing a black brocade robe and carrying the black scabbard on his back, and he tilted his neck slightly to look at the majestic city less than two hundred meters in front of him.
Pei Susu, who was dressed in a plain green robe and wrapped in a graceful figure, was not dyed with powder, the green silk swayed slightly in the wind, her face was a little cold, standing on the left side of Zhao Jiuge, although a pair of beautiful eyes were also looking at Qingcang City, but she was clearly thinking about her heart, and before that, Pei Susu's actions had already been holding Zhao Jiuge's arm, but she was still worried about what happened last night, so she could only worry about it herself.
The two of them are talented and beautiful, like a fairy couple, the beautiful scenery, the breeze, and the city, which melt into one, and everything constitutes a painting. But two meters away to the right of Zhao Jiuge, the three novices in yellow monk's robes undoubtedly broke the beautiful atmosphere somewhat, and the face with red lips and white teeth was a big bald head, which was quite a bit of a bad scenery.
Maybe he understands in his heart that he is a light bulb, so Sanwu deliberately stands farther away from the two, and the young Sanwu looks harmless to humans and animals, but it doesn't mean that he doesn't understand anything, as for the things of men and women, he understands more or less.
Pei Susu's fragrant shoulder also has a big slap, black hair all over his body, only the belly and eyes are surrounded by white hair Xiao Hei, since Xiao Hei broke through to the late stage of the elixir realm after a period of sleep, he can't be idle for a moment, he has to lie on Pei Susu's body every day to play around, Zhao Jiu Ge is a little puzzled in his heart why this Xiao Hei is getting more and more strange, the more he cultivates, the smaller the size, and the cultivation is so high, and he has not found any natal powers, which makes Zhao Jiu Ge still a little depressed, other people's spirit beasts are majestic, and it will be like this when he arrives here, but Zhao Jiu Ge doesn't care too much about this, just a little jealous, I don't understand why Xiao Hei sticks to Pei Susu every day!
"Let's go, let's go into the city, take a casual stroll today, and then see where the Cold Flame Flower is whereabouts. ”
Zhao Jiuge, who had been watching outside Qingcang City for a long time, couldn't bear the lively atmosphere in the city anymore, and said a little impatiently. His purpose this time was to see if there was anyone selling Cold Flame Grass in this Qingcang City, and generally there would be an auction house in that city, Zhao Jiuge just wanted to try his luck, a city as big as this should have a high level of auction house, after all, the bigger the city, the more monks, the more resources, the more people who bought and sold, and at that time, any precious and rare things could come out.
There was a faint aura on the surface of Qingcang City that appeared from time to time, and then flashed, which made Zhao Jiuge a little surprised, thinking that it seems that this Qingcang City is quite important, the Huaxia Dynasty generally only has the top cities or some geographically important cities will arrange formations, in order to prevent those evil demons, after all, there are too many cultivators in this world, it is difficult to guarantee that someone will do something that people are angry with, and the realm of cultivation is not as simple as one plus one equals two, if a demon monk with advanced cultivation suddenly appears in a certain place, it will be the existence of crushing a group。
Everything in the world is divided into two poles, there is prosperity and decline, and the same is true for people in cultivation, although now it seems that the world of the Chinese Dynasty is peaceful, and the seven holy lands are still the rulers of the entire dynasty, but in fact, those evil cultivators are surging undercurrents, just waiting for an opportunity Maybe they will break out, and then it will be this time and that time, in the previous history, there was no shortage of some evil cultivators who greatly increased the realm, and several old monsters and evil cultivators in the Mahayana realm directly led some evil demons to wantonly kill monks and ordinary people, occupying a large number of cities and territories, and at the same time occupied naturally a large number of resources。
It's just that since ancient times, evil has not prevailed over good, and there are still the majority of people in the righteous path in the world after all, so no matter how bad the situation is sometimes, it is still the righteous sect that has the upper hand in the end. There are too many evil spirits, and they are hidden, so it is ineffective to kill them alone, just like the weeds that have not been cut down and eradicated, or it will not be long before the spring breeze blows deep and deep, like a rainbow after the rain, and a large number of them will emerge, so what the Seven Holy Lands and those righteous path sects can do is only to prevent trouble.
As soon as the three of them stepped into the unguarded gate, they could clearly see that the ground was full of cyan boulders, and Zhao Jiuge frowned slightly, and when he came in, he could clearly feel a wave of spiritual power enveloping his whole body, and then it disappeared in an instant. Soon Zhao Jiuge's expression returned to normal, the appearance just now was mostly some cultivators from the Transformation God Realm who were using the Yuan Shen to investigate themselves nearby, and everyone who entered the city should be treated like this.
This made Zhao Jiuge restrain his pride, it seems that there are many profound monks in this city, and only one city gate is controlled by monks from the realm of transforming gods, most of these monks are people sent by the family entrenched here, after all, the family and the sect are different, the former is purely to earn resources and continuously develop themselves, and the latter is dedicated to cultivating and improving their strength. These families continue to collect some resource treasures and spirit stones through some means, and then recruit some monks through these cultivation resources to provide combat power for their own use.
This discovery made Zhao Jiuge ecstatic, his eyes became hot, he was not afraid of more people, he was afraid of fewer people, the more advanced monks there were, the more powerful they were, it could only prove that there were more resources here, maybe the grade of the auction hall was not necessarily very low! Then he would have great hope of finding the Cold Flame Flower.
What Zhao Jiuge lacks most now is the Cold Flame Flower, the top priority is to find the whereabouts of the Cold Flame Flower, as for whether he has the ability or money to get it, that is a matter later, as for the rest, he is no longer in the scope of consideration, because from the matter of the Huanxi monk, Zhao Jiuge realized a very serious problem, that is, his current strength is completely insufficient, when he meets a Yuanying Realm monk, although he can still fight with his own strength, he will not be crushed by others, but when he encounters the kind of Yuanying Realm monk who is strong and has an extraordinary background, then he is completely insufficient。
And he himself was also very distressed, he had been stuck in the late stage of the Spirit Pill Realm for so long, which made him wonder, could it be that the Eighth Rank Spirit Pill was so difficult to break through, could it be that the hope of breaking through the Eighth Rank Spirit Pill was very slim!
Fortunately, although Zhao Jiuge is anxious to improve his strength, he will not reach the point of going mad, and embark on a crooked path like those demons, so that he can quickly improve his strength through some means, thanks to the cultivation method of the Xuantian Sword Gate, which allows Zhao Jiuge to lay a deep foundation in the first year of the outer gate, and although he is anxious for cultivation, he can still maintain a natural mentality.
Therefore, Zhao Jiuge no longer thinks about these things at all, but strives to improve his current greatest strength, that is, to get the Cold Flame Flower, strive to strengthen his body, and make his Sanskrit Holy Body to a higher level, so that maybe with his strong body plus his own means and the sharpness of the Xuantian Sword Duel, he can also fight with some monks in the Yuanying Realm, so that he will not always lag behind, and if there is something, he will have to rely on Pei Susu and a woman to take action. It's just that deep down in his heart, Zhao Jiuge also accidentally thought about how the inner disciples of the sect who were also practicing are cultivating now, and whether the disciples of the other holy places will be like himself, and they have not made progress in their cultivation for a long time.
Thinking that it was possible to get the news of the Cold Flame Flower in Qingcang City, Zhao Jiuge couldn't hold back his excitement, and he didn't go to rest, so he went directly to inquire about the news of the Qingcang City Auction House.
Although the whole Qingcang City is very large, it is relatively planned, and each area has what each area should do, in an orderly manner, so that it will not be messy, and it is obvious that all this is managed.
Walking on the street paved with cyan boulders, Zhao Jiuge felt the bustling and lively atmosphere, and the whole person couldn't help but relax, only Pei Susu was still a little cold, not as lively and clever as before. Sanwu also rarely seems to go out to travel in the world, so he seems to be very curious about everything, and his two eyes keep staring at some roadside food stalls, but Zhao Jiuge, who is in a hurry to find an auction house, can still take care of him at this time.
