Chapter 18 Wanbao Zhao Family
According to Zhao Ying's introduction along the way, Chen Zhi has a certain understanding of Beiling City.
The Tianding Empire is located in the southwest of the Tianwu Continent, facing the sea in the south, the climate is mild and humid, the precipitation is abundant, and the land is vast and fertile, and the grain production is abundant, so the population of the Tianding Empire is the largest among the secular empires in the entire Tianwu Continent.
The larger the population base, the more people have spiritual roots, so the largest sect in the Tianding Empire, the Jiuding Sect, is the first of all sects in the entire continent in terms of the number of disciples in the sect, plus the Tianding Empire has rich resources and a lot of resources, so this Jiuding Sect is naturally rich and rich, and it has spent a huge amount of money on Xuanshui Lake to establish the Northern Spirit City, which is famous throughout the continent.
This Beiling City, also known as the Northern Spirit Turtle City, is located on an island shaped like a giant turtle in the center of Xuanshui Lake, the largest lake in the north of the Tianding Empire, Xuanshui Lake covers an extremely vast area, surrounded by forests, and there are often monsters in the forest, plus there are a large number of water monsters living in the lake, so it is impossible for secular people to reach here, and the rich resources of all kinds have also attracted a large number of scattered cultivators to come, making Beiling City a city of monks!
Even the secular realm of the Tianding Empire has the legend of the city, which is called "Heavenly Court" by mortals.
In the dense fog, Chen Zhi finally saw the appearance of this Beiling City clearly, Beiling City was built on top of a circular island, there was a protruding land in front and back of the island, coupled with the ports set up around, from a distance, it did look like the limbs and head and tail of a huge turtle, and the topography of the island was high in the middle and low in all sides, plus a ring of tall walls around the island, it was indeed a bit similar to a turtle shell.
However, this city wall is mostly used to block some demon beasts in Xuanshui Lake, and it does not have any protective effect on the monks.
Standing on the flying sword, Chen Zhi quietly looked at Beiling City not far away, and the more he looked, the more he felt that this city was very strange.
"Brother Chen, you must have seen something. โ
Zhao Ying said on the side, Chen Zhi looked back and found that this kid looked eager to try, knowing that Zhao Ying wanted to show off in front of him again, and immediately smiled: "I can only see that this island is a very powerful big array, as for the rest, forgive me for being shallow in cultivation, and I can't see anything." โ
As if waiting for Chen Zhi's words, Zhao Ying couldn't wait to say: " Brother Chen doesn't have to be presumptuous, although the younger brother is not high, his eyesight is still there, the strength of the eldest brother can be regarded as a leader even among some of the disciples of the Great Sect, but this fog sea array is very promising, the reason why the Jiuding Sect chose to build a city in this North Spirit City is mainly due to two reasons, one is that there is a medium-sized spirit stone vein on this island, and the aura here is basically comparable to the mountain gate of some small sects, and second, it is the natural dense fog here, Jiuding Sect does not know where to get a map of the ancient array, and uses the natural dense fog here to arrange a set of fog sea arrays, even if it is a monk in the Jindan period, vainly trying to attack this Northern Spirit City will also be trapped in the big array. โ
Chen Zhi nodded lightly, he had seen the Hehuan Sect's mountain protection array, although this fog sea array sounded powerful, but it was obviously a grade worse than the Hehuan Sect's mountain protection array that could besiege the Yuanying monks, but this Northern Spirit City was not where the sect of the Jiuding Sect was located, and it was enough to see the strength of the Jiuding Sect's financial resources by randomly placing such a large array in a city.
The three of them chatted and flew towards the North Spirit City, and as they approached, there were more and more monks around them who were driving flying magic weapons, especially after coming to the sky above the North Spirit City, from time to time there were monks flying towards the lake with flying swords, and they could also see that many monks on the lake were fighting with the water monsters.
Soon, the three of them landed in the No. 1 port in the east of Beiling City, and there was also a ban on air in the sky above Beiling City, after all, all the monks living in this city were monks, and if they were allowed to fly at will in the city, it would cause inconvenience in management, and private fighting was also prohibited in the city, with the strength of the Jiuding Sect, these two prohibitions were rarely violated by monks for the first time.
As soon as Chen Zhi, Zhao Ying, and Lan'er landed at the port, a disciple dressed in the costume of the Jiuding Sect stepped forward and said coldly: "The No. 1 port only allows monks above the foundation to stay, don't you know?"
Although this disciple was concentrating and cultivating, the gaze of Chen Zhi and the three of them was full of arrogance, and the gaze that swept over Lan'er was even more blazing.
Lan'er frowned slightly, stepped forward and flipped her palm, and a round token suddenly appeared in her hand.
The disciple of Jiuding Sect looked at the token in Lan'er's hand, he was stunned for a moment, and then his face changed, and he smiled forcefully: "It turned out to be the Wanbao Zhao family, but although Wanbao Zhai is good friends with our Jiuding Sect, the cost of entering the city is ......."
"We know. Lan'er frowned, and handed over a small bag of spirit stones, Chen Zhi took a cursory look at it, and concluded that there were thirty lower-grade spirit stones in this spirit stone bag.
Chen Zhi couldn't help but gasp, but seeing that neither Lan'er nor Zhao Ying's faces had any fluctuations, he forcibly suppressed the shock in his heart.
The disciples of the Jiuding Sect accepted the spirit stone, then took out three tokens and handed them to Chen Zhi and the three of them, and said: "Please wear this token with the three of you, this token can allow the three of you to live in the city for a month, if the time is up for a month or the three want to live in the city for a long time, please go to the Nine Immortals Pagoda in the center of the city to re-apply for the token." โ
"Got it. After Lan'er took the token, she was the first to enter the city gate.
"Brother Chen, what's wrong?" Zhao Ying on the side saw that Chen Zhi's expression was a little strange, and couldn't help asking.
Chen Zhi shook his head and said, "This Jiuding Sect is also too dark, ten lower grade spirit stones can stay in this city for a month......
Zhao Ying couldn't help but shake his head after hearing this: " Brother Chen's words are wrong, maybe the eldest brother is from the Hehuan Sect, and he doesn't know much about the importance of this spiritual vein, in the Tianwu Continent, a cultivator like Brother Chen who was born in a sect naturally has a sect's mountain gate to cultivate, but for some casual cultivators, a city with a spiritual vein, even if it needs ten lower-grade spirit stones a month, it is also extremely cost-effective, after all, most of the places with spiritual veins in the Tianwu Continent are occupied by major sects and leisure families, and it is basically difficult to find a place with a strong spiritual aura for casual cultivation, speaking of which, the fees of this Northern Spirit City are already quite cost-effectiveใ โ
After hearing this, Chen Zhi thought about it carefully, and it was indeed the case, thinking that when he was still in the outer gate, some outgoing tasks were often rewarded very high, but few people were willing to take them, because the spiritual energy in the secular world was thin and cultivation was often half the effort, which is why every time the sect recruited people, a large number of scattered cultivators wanted to enter the sect.
However, his current situation is basically the same as that of a loose cultivator, and he is not ready to return to the Hehuan Sect to receive qi for the time being, this Beiling City is a good place to live.
Zhao Ying and Lan'er are obviously very familiar with the North Spirit City, and take Chen Zhi to the south of the city, the North Spirit City is divided into five areas, of which the south of the city and the central area belong to the direct jurisdiction of the Jiuding Sect, because it is located above the spirit stone vein, the aura here is more intense, and it is naturally occupied by the Jiuding Sect, but these two areas are not completely closed, such as the south of the city There are a large number of residences, these residences are extremely luxuriously decorated, and even equipped with spiritual fields and earth furnace rooms, the Jiuding Sect will use these residences for rent, but the cost is not ambiguous, if you choose some high-quality residences, you often need hundreds of thousands of spirit stones a month, not at all something that ordinary monks can afford to live in.
Of course, there are also a lot of rich monks, such as the Wanbao Zhao family, which has a mansion of more than ten acres in the south of the city, and even has a five-story shop on the most central street in the city, which shows its strong financial resources and the deep relationship with the Jiuding Sect!
Zhao Ying originally planned to go directly to Wanbao Zhai in the city, but Lan'er thought that this time they were assassinated, and they should be careful, so they pulled Zhao Ying and walked towards the Zhao family's house in the south of the city.
After entering the southern area of the city, the tall mansions came into view, Chen Zhi couldn't help but secretly speak, this Jiuding Sect is very good at doing business, these mansions are hung with door numbers, obviously they have been rented out, not to mention the cost of entering the city, it is these mansions, I am afraid that they can bring millions of spirit stones to the Jiuding Sect in a year!
was looking left and right, and suddenly Chen Zhi heard Zhao Ying calling him not far away.
"Over here, Brother Chen!"
When Chen Zhi heard this, he looked at the place where he was calling, and saw Zhao Ying and Lan'er standing at the gate of an extremely luxurious mansion, surrounded by a large circle of people, hearing Zhao Ying's shout, many people looked at Chen Zhi, but most of these eyes had a hint of vigilance.
Chen Zhi smiled, walked towards Zhao Ying, and looked up at the door number of the house.
The door plate was engraved with the four vigorous and powerful characters of "Wanbao Zhao Family", and then looked at the monks dressed as slaves around him, Chen Zhi couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart.
"It deserves to be the Wanbao Zhao family!"
