The distance to Xunyang City is also quite far, and it may not be possible to reach it without taking a flying boat for several days.
However, they were not in a hurry and happened to pass a few points along the way to do some errands, so they changed the flying boat to a sword.
This is a great test of a monk's durability. To be honest, Ningxia can be said to be the one who feels the most guilty about this. Because apart from the beginning, she rarely had any experience in controlling weapons.
As for the number of times he wielded a sword, it was even rarer. She only received the reincarnation a few years ago. Although she has been practicing swordsmanship over the years, how experienced is she in wielding a sword within the Wuhua Sect? It can be said that she is a "newcomer". It is simply embarrassing for her to carry out such a long journey with a sword.
However, now that the duck is on the shelves, it is also an arrow on the string and has to be launched. In full view of everyone, there was no way that she could run over and hold True Lord Yuanheng's thigh and let him give her a ride. That's really ridiculous. After all, a monk who has been building a foundation for several years can't learn to wield a sword, so he can't be described as timid.
Besides, it's not like she doesn't know how to do it. It just might be a little tougher.
There was no more time for her to prepare mentally, so Ningxia had no choice but to step on the Chonghuan Sword and set off with the large army.
Before leaving, Jin Lin glanced at her with worry, and True Lord Yuanheng also glanced at her expressionlessly. Ningxia Yijiling, who was still hesitating, touched the Chonghuan Sword. Before he could react, he was already wandering along with the others.
Sure enough, she couldn't live in peace along the way, wandering around, and almost flipped her sword several times, but Jin Lin, who was wandering nearby, couldn't save her.
Practice may be the most training thing. After these few days of hard training, Ning Xia's sword control skills have undergone a qualitative change, and she quickly adapted to the method of sword control. The leap from novice to qualified was completed in one fell swoop. By the time he landed in Xunyang City, his sword-wielding skills were already impressive.
Xunyang City is a place where every inch of land is precious. Since ancient times, it has been the home of wealthy businessmen, and even the air smells of money. There are wealthy people from the world of mortals and businessmen from the cultivation world who come and go here. Being able to settle here is regarded as a symbol of supreme honor.
However, things are rare and valuable, and when there are many people, there is not enough to share. The capacity of Xunyang City is limited, and it is impossible to accept everyone, especially those who have already settled here and do not allow others to easily come in and get a share of the pie. You have to pay the entry fee to have the opportunity to set foot in this business empire.
The merchants lacked everything and were especially rich. They were not stingy in the process of building the city. They did whatever they could. It seems that even the imperial cities in the secular world were not as exaggerated as them. Therefore, this new city has developed to the point where Xunyang City already has all the features. reached a certain scale.
When Ningxia entered the world of cultivation, she had seen many cities, some were large and some were small, some were prosperous and some were shabby, and there were various styles. But she has never seen it in this form before, and this is the first time she has seen it. It is really... spectacular.
It is not an exaggeration to call this land a golden city. Although it's not gold everywhere, it's not far behind.
The magnificent city was as expected. The bright and clean street is a bit of a surprise. There are no vendors, uh... I'm a little surprised. Every plant, every tree, every brick and tile in the city is made of precious and durable materials, and smells of money both inside and out, which is completely frightening.
The relatively wealthy cities that I visited before suddenly turned into dregs compared with this one.
Of course, it's not that those cities are bad, it's just that they are not so decent in comparison. For example, Wanping City, which is not low in level, and Fengming City, which is a country of its own, are relatively daily, ordinary, and full of life. Even if they are slightly different, they are not so exaggerated.
However, this city is really different.
Can you imagine? The black bricks are rich in texture, and the gaps are thinly filled with white clay, giving people a very neat feeling. Such an entire city wall gives people a majestic feeling. Before entering the city gate, you can feel a fierce atmosphere rushing towards you.
At this moment, Ningxia’s mind was flooded with the word “trench”, which was inhumane. Probably not even comparable to the meticulously purchased and built ancient towns in modern times. Even compared to modern ones, they are a bit more refined and less plasticky than modern industrial society.
However, only the Xianxia World has the power to build such a large-scale project.
Ningxia stood outside the city wall and felt that her eyes were not enough.
"Follow closely, it's a bit complicated." Seeing those little ones looking around with curiosity in their eyes, Zhenjun Yuanheng couldn't help but remind them. Only then did everyone restrain themselves.
In fact, it's not their fault, even the older monks can't stand it, let alone the younger ones like Ningxia.
"This Xunyang City is really... but after a few years, it has changed again. There is no trace of the past at all. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed I had been to this place."
"That's right! I heard that they renovate the inside and outside of the city every three years, changing the style, architecture, decoration, etc., to ensure luxury and grandeur, and not to lose their prestige."
"No, three years? Do they have more spiritual stones or more time?"
"What nonsense are you talking about! People have everything, but the ostentation is never enough. Ordinary monks like us can't understand it."
"I heard that they also recruit rich mortal merchants into the city. This doesn't seem to be their style. It's useless for us monks to have so much mundane gold and silver."
"...After all, we also need to connect with the outside world. They are eyeing resources in the mortal world. Why don't big families need disciples? Of course, the more powerful talents, the better. Those people can also be supported."
…
Hearing the voices of fellow disciples discussing, Ning Xia did not say anything. After all, he was not very familiar with them. And in other people's base, there are many people and many eyes, which means that there are so many eye-catchers, so it's better not to talk nonsense.
Of course, these proud men will not restrain themselves spontaneously.
The people who came to the auction this time were all new faces, even higher level than those who went to the Huyang Sect last time. Almost all of them were elite disciples of Longyin Peak. Although they are all from the younger generation, they are still young people who have achieved something. At the worst, they are still in the foundation-building stage.
The only difference and the incompatible small group are Ningxia and Jinlin. They are the only ones who are not disciples of Longyin Peak and have little reputation.
Probably in their eyes, Ning Xia and Jin Lin were the two strangers.
However, they were also aware of current affairs and could see the relationship between Ning Xia and the leader of the team, Zhenjun Yuan Heng. They all got to know each other very kindly and said some decent words to them. As for what they think in their hearts, only they themselves know.
A group of people came to Xunyang City with high spirits, preparing to participate in what can be called the largest auction in the entire southeastern border.
