Li Mu's strong intervention can be said to be thunderous. The day after Zheng Yao and the black-robed man were killed, a team composed of imperial officials and elite soldiers entered Tailan City. The corrupt officials who were originally affiliated with the city lord's palace The forces were uprooted, and the eradication of the black forces plunged the entire town into a carnival.
The person who put an end to this black tax crisis has quietly left the city and continues to move toward the northwest of the empire along the mountains and rivers.
The Cangyun Empire has a vast territory, with countless high mountains and rivers. Li Mu stopped and walked, fighting monsters in the old forest, annihilating entrenched bandits in the mountain villages, drinking the cloud-mist fragrant tea from Lishan Mountain, and admiring the scenery in the hinterland of the Central Plains. Shadow puppet opera.
There was no deliberate practice, no deliberate seeking of opportunities, but this walk in the world made Li Muchen truly feel that his cultivation was getting stronger and his various martial arts became more refined, especially the self-created spiritual move. The power of Luan Fengming has reached a higher level than in the defense battle of Qinglan City.
After being promoted to the Great Success of the Transformation Infant Realm, Li Mu also re-examined his simulation system. The talent points in the talent system have not been updated, while other systems have been significantly upgraded, especially the simulated life in the warehouse system. Space has transformed into a real small world, and there are even signs of forming independent laws of heaven.
However, Li Mu has no plans to settle lifeforms other than animals, plants and low-level monsters in this space for the time being. After all, humans are a completely different species. Before absolute safety is confirmed, Li Mu will never be able to take out a living creature. of people to try this kind of thing.
However, this also made the little monkey completely the king of the bionic space. Except for occasionally Li Mu would let it out to accompany him for a walk, he spent most of his time in the warehouse system. The strange thing is that although the bionic space has not yet The vitality of heaven and earth was derived, but the little monkey was able to steadily improve his strength in it, which made Li Mu, the owner of the system, a little confused.
"Mr. Pi, after climbing over this hill, we will reach the boundary of Tianling City. We haven't been to a large city for several months. Let's stay a few more days this time and have a good talk with that guy Lao Gao. Reminiscing about old times.”
Li Mu put the last piece of dry membrane into his mouth and said to the little monkey standing on his shoulder. In view of this little guy's outstanding performance in the defense battle of Qinglan City and his constant thoughts along the way, Li Mu He also agreed not to call him Xiaopi anymore. As for the new names, he didn't even think about the new names, so he could only use "Mr. Pi" instead.
"Bah, bah, bah, bah."
Seeing the little monkey dancing happily, Li Mu suddenly felt a little worried for Gao Ye, but then he thought about it, the Gao family had a big business, so they should be able to afford the little monkey's slightly big appetite.
After walking for another half an hour, a huge city with a northwest style suddenly appeared in Li Mu's sight. According to Li Mu's own feeling, he could use one word to describe the majestic city in front of him, that is, rough and unrestrained.
Different from the delicacy of Qinglan City and the luxury of Cangyun City, Tianling City fully demonstrates the generosity of the people in the northwest. Large red boulders support the main body of the city wall. Most of the buildings in the city are made of stone. There are no pavilions. There are terraces and pavilions and cornices and balustrades, not to mention Wu Nong's soft talk and extravagance. The folk customs of Tianling City can be summed up in two words: tough and simple.
Li Mu, who came to this important town in the northwest for the first time, became the curious baby he once was. After successfully entering the city with customs clearance documents, he was immediately attracted by a variety of gadgets with a strong regional style.
There are colorful paintings in bright red and green colors with a strong local flavor, clay sculptures in various and lifelike shapes, as well as fragrant pot helmets, donkey meat and other special delicacies. All of them made Li Mu and the little monkey very interested and lingered on.
It wasn't until the lanterns came on and night fell that one person and one monkey thought that they hadn't even found the place to stay today. Li Mu looked at Xiaopi who was holding half a pot helmet on his shoulder while Baofeng was eating, thinking that this guy's appetite was really getting bigger and bigger. The older I get, I have to find an inn to stay in quickly, otherwise my wallet will be choked again if I wander around like this.
"I heard Gao Ye say before that there is a restaurant owned by their Gao Chamber of Commerce in Tianling City. Let's stay there. I can get some discounts with my Purple Gold Card. I can save a little."
In fact, it is no wonder that Li Mu started to plan carefully. This time he set out from Qinglan City and did not ask his family for travel expenses. The city was in dire straits and the Li family still needed money. As the son of the clan leader, he naturally knew how to do it. Take the lead in being frugal.
Relying on the upgraded smelting system along the way, Li Mu also synthesized a lot of high-quality elixirs, and after selling them, he was able to make a small amount of savings. But who would have thought that Xiaopi's appetite would increase after he woke up, and he would eat them in one meal. One hundred and eighty kilograms of beef is no big deal, but if it is just ordinary food, Li Mu will have no problem affording it.
But the monkey's habit of eating rare and rare herbs has not changed at all, and has even become a necessity. If he doesn't get a herb of the seventh or eighth level of the mortal grade for three days, the monkey will lose energy, and he will wear a golden coat. The hair will become dull.
After all, they are partners who have lived together and died together. Seeing the little monkey's appearance, Li Mu had no choice but to bite the bullet and buy some jelly grass and store it in the warehouse system, and feed the monkey every three days. The back and forth will naturally increase his financial pressure.
"Uncle, I am a merchant who has just arrived here. I would like to ask you how to get to the restaurant of the Gao Chamber of Commerce?"
Tianling City is very large, and the styles of the various buildings are very similar. Li Mu finally found that the way to the city was to ask questions through his mouth, so he found an old man who looked like he was from Tianling City and asked about the Gao family. The restaurant of the Chamber of Commerce is located.
"Are you talking about Tianlong Restaurant? It's not far away. If you go north along this avenue, you will see a lake. Tianlong Restaurant is in the middle of the lake."
This man showed the unique hospitality of the people in the northwest. When he saw that Li Mu was indeed not a local, he immediately stood up and gave directions. In the end, he even wanted to lead the way himself. This made Li Mu very embarrassed and thanked him repeatedly to show that he could do it.
After knowing the direction, Li Mu quickly found the lake that the uncle mentioned. The sparkling lake surface was extremely beautiful under the support of the moonlight. This lake in the city was not small, judging from the lights set along the shore. It is actually comparable to the lake in the city of the Imperial Capital.
In the middle of the lake, a towering building stood like a lighthouse in the dark night. Dotted on the lake surface in the dark night, it actually gave Li Mu a sense of tranquility and distance.
Just imagine that there is such a majestic city in the Gobi in the northwest of the empire. It is enough to shock people. And in the city there are such tall buildings in the lake that are completely natural. The picturesque scenery is enough to make every traveler here find it difficult to imagine. forget.
