The fleet moving in the sea of clouds is like a big fish. The three-star "Sky Whale Battleship" leading the fleet, with its huge hull, looks like a true giant kun, looming in the clouds and mist.
Liu Yu leaned against the edge of the boat and looked out, surrounded by clouds and mist, and below was the blue, mirror-like sea.
One side is vast and boundless, with only constant undulating waves. On the other side, you can see a line of khaki coast with long yellow sand in the distance. It is the east coast of the largest desert in Dongyuan Continent, "Taklam".
Departing from Zhoushan City, the fleet has been traveling along the desolate and desolate desert coast for more than two months.
"Junior brother, why are you here? Go play chess!" At this time, Xuanshan strode out of the cabin and said excitedly.
"Come out and take a breath! If you're not interested today, I won't do it!" Liu Yuwan refused.
This journey was too boring, so I could only find something to do to pass the time. Apart from drawing talisman, my practice consisted of playing chess, tasting tea, and drinking. There was nothing else to do. I made a pot of hot tea and put a plate on it. It took a long time to grind away.
But Liu Yu was not willing to play with this senior brother Xuanshan from the bottom of his heart, because his chess skills were too bad, he had no challenge, and he didn't know it, so he played several games at a time and refused to admit defeat.
"If you don't play chess, you'll have to sit around all day. When will this life end?" Xuanshan grimaced and leaned against the edge of the boat.
"I heard that we only walked nearly half the distance!" Liu Yu couldn't help but sigh, this trip was too far.
"Ah!" Xuanshan couldn't help but wailed.
"It's so boring! Junior brother, do you have any good wine?" Xuanshan pressed his dry lips and asked casually.
"There's not much left, save your drink!" Liu Yu couldn't help but shake his head, knowing that Xuanshan was looking for him because he must be thinking about the jars of spiritual wine in his pocket, so he took out a jar of "August Incense" and handed it out.
This "August Fragrance" is a second-grade spiritual wine. It is secretly brewed with spiritual materials such as spiritual rice, more peppers, red berries, and osmanthus petals. The wine is mellow and exudes a strong fragrance of osmanthus. It is the name of Zhoushan City. Liu Yu expected that this trip would be monotonous and boring, so he bought more than twenty jars before departure.
Now there are only a few jars left, and Liu Yu himself didn't drink much, most of which went into the belly of the senior brother Xuanshan next to him. This man is an alcoholic, and his master "Xuanshan" is an old alcoholic. There is no shortage of blows to myself.
"Thank you, Junior Brother. I won't disturb Junior Brother as he watches the sea and enjoys the breeze. Let's go!" Xuanshan Taoist Le Hehe took the wine jar and ran away.
After this fuss, Liu Yu had no intention of blowing some air, so she returned to the cabin, lit a small incense burner, sat quietly on the bed, and took two "black potato pills", one "Golden Cherry Pill" and one " Wu Chen Dan" and started daily practice.
Five days later, the fleet approached the coast and hovered over a huge earth city. This long and narrow city was built in a half-moon-shaped concave valley, named "Moon City".
It is said that this city is the largest town on the east coast of the "Taklam" desert and is also a natural port.
Near the shore near Tucheng, there are a large number of sea ships docked, with all kinds of commercial flags swaying in the wind, and there are also many large and small spiritual ships hovering in the air.
The Tucheng is neither big nor small. It is slightly larger than Jiuzheng County. The hospital and store inside the city are low. It looks much more dilapidated than Jiuzheng County. It is built of adobe and covered with thatch. It is very simple.
Only the rows of shops with blue bricks and stone tiles in the center look pleasing to the eye. This is a Xiuzhenfang market. People are coming and going on the streets, and tourists are coming in and out of shops on both sides. It is very prosperous. This scene is just like Liu Yu. I saw it when I was in "Bei Luan City".
It is said that this city is home to a huge group of casual cultivators, numbering in the tens of thousands. These casual cultivators are wandering around in this vast and desolate desert. Some of them never come back, while some return with a full load. This "Moon City" is the center of the desert. A very important market.
The rare minerals, strange fruits, animal products and other spiritual materials collected by casual cultivators from the desert will come to earth cities like "Moon City" built as cultivation workshops to sell them in exchange for food, water and necessary cultivation materials. , which also created the prosperity of these large and small Tucheng.
Among the hundreds of large and small earth cities built along the east coast of the desert, the "Moon City" is the largest. It is located in the middle of the east coast. It has an excellent location and is also the most ideal place for merchant ships to sail across the east coast. This time, the three fleets Stopping at "Moon City" is to replenish water, food and other supplies.
He also stopped to rest for a few days. The long voyage had already exhausted the four disciples physically and mentally.
As soon as the fleet arrived at Yuecheng, they were personally greeted by Zhuge Wo, the lord of "Yue City". The Zhuge family has been the owner of "Yue City" for generations. The current clan leader Zhuge Wo is a great monk with six golden elixirs, and the Zhuge family is not only A true Jindan.
The Zhuge family is like a small sect or a prince. The "Moon City" and the surrounding sandy area of nearly ten thousand miles are its territory. It has maintained the stable order of the "Moon City" for nearly ten thousand years.
His ancestors started from a small fishing village on the shore and after dozens of generations of hard work, they developed the now famous "Moon City on the Desert".
Liu Yu followed Zhan Guang, and Master Nu Hai and others were invited by the Zhuge family to enjoy a roast sheep feast on Mo Shang. A whole plump fourth-level "Sandstorm sheep" was grilled on the charcoal fire, and the skin was Roast until golden brown, dripping fat and sizzling, and the air is filled with an alluring aroma.
After being drunk and full, Liu Yu and several Huang Shengzong foundation-building deacons from Xuanshan declined the Zhuge family's accommodation and came to live in the backyard of a spiritual material trading house named "Huang Shayuan" in Tuchengfang City.
This spiritual material trading house is Huang Shengzong's stronghold in "Moon City" and is used to purchase some unique spiritual materials in the desert.
"Lingbing Palace" and "Wanyao Valley" both have stores in this moon city, and the store of "Wanyao Valley" is also open in the central main street of Fang City. It is said that it is quite famous here, in addition to making spiritual materials. In addition to buying and selling, it also sells various elixirs, which are very popular among local casual cultivators.
"Uh!" After a dreamless night, Liu Yu got off the earthen kang, pushed open the wooden door, and stretched his waist. He slept so comfortably last night. He hadn't felt so refreshed in a long time.
"Junior brother, get up, freshen up quickly, and go for a stroll later!" With a creak, the door of the room next to him was pushed open, and Taoist Xuanshan said happily.
…
"Not bad! This cake is good!" Taoist Xuanshan said with a big cake in his hand, puffing out his cheeks.
"Yeah! It's good!" Liu Yu took a sip of the milk tea on the table. It had the aroma of both milk and tea. It really had a unique flavor.
After Fang freshened up, the shopkeeper sent breakfast, a stack of brown pancakes and two large bowls of milk tea. It was simple and sufficient. I don’t know how the pancakes were made. They were chewy, although not delicious. But I’ve never tasted it before, it’s very fresh!
After the two finished eating, they greeted the shopkeeper and walked out of the backyard to the streets of Fangshi. The streets were crowded with pedestrians, dressed in strange clothes. There were some casual practitioners in tattered clothes and in a hurry, and some in bright clothes strolling leisurely. Business travel everywhere.
Looking along the way, there are mostly small shops on both sides of the street. The interior decoration is simple, with earthen walls and thatched eaves, a few shabby wooden tables, and some fur carpets on the floor. That is all the store furniture.
However, the items sold in the store can be described as diverse. In a small store, all kinds of magical instruments, elixirs, and spiritual materials are sold, and it is difficult to distinguish the authenticity from the fake.
"Whoa~! What smells so good?" After shopping for a while, the two of them didn't buy anything. Mainly because they were seeing many unique spiritual materials produced in the desert for the first time, and they didn't know the goods. Master Xuanshan suddenly took a few deep breaths. .
Then his eyes lit up, and he dragged Liu Yu towards a large three-story shop in front of him. He saw a huge sign hanging on the second floor of the shop, with the words "Zuiyue Building" engraved on it.
