"Are you going to town or getting a warrant?"
Ye Hong asked curiously: "Is there any difference?"
"You just have to go to the city and pay ten crystals. You don't care whether you live or die in the city. You have to pay one hundred crystals every year to apply for the warrant, and the law enforcement team will protect your safety."
Ye Hong was also surprised to hear that just entering the city required so much money. With the law enforcement team available to protect his own safety, Ye Hong naturally chose to apply for the warrant and took out the purse containing two hundred wind crystals and placed it on the table.
"We process the warrant, it's for both of us."
The person who collected the spar checked it and found that it was correct, then took out two warrants and handed them to Ye Hong.
"Inject your own elemental power into the warrant and leave a mark. All you need to do to enter the southern city in the future is show the warrant.
The warrant contains the exclusive mark of the Blazing Flame Palace. This mark can only last for one year. After the mark disappears, you can go to a force within the Blazing Flame Palace to pay crystals and exchange for the warrant again. "
From entering the city, Ye Hong finally understood how unfriendly the Five Elements Continent was to ordinary people. It was difficult for ordinary people to earn so much money in their lifetime.
Moreover, the warrant must be used by those with cultivation level. Ordinary people without cultivation level can only rely on paying the fee to enter the city every time they go to the city. Even after entering the city, personal safety cannot be guaranteed.
After Ye Hong and the others entered the city, they planned to stay in the city for a day or two to get to know the situation in the southern region, and take Feng Shuting for a walk.
Because the map Liang Shixuan gave was a map of the entire Five Elements Continent, many places were not marked. It only marked the general direction and some distinctive main cities, as well as mountain ranges and power division areas.
Ye Hong first went to the city and bought a detailed map of the southern region of the Five Elements Continent. A map cost one wind crystal, and Ye Hong was heartbroken.
Fortunately, the map is relatively detailed, not only marking the cities in the southern region, but also the locations of some open secret realms and powerful monsters in the surrounding mountains.
The entire southern region is the sphere of influence of the Blazing Flame Palace. There is a mountain range to the west, north and east. To the southwest is the Fenglei Continent, and to the southeast is the sea. It can be seen that the Fenglei Mountains of the Fenglei Continent are connected to the west. mountains.
The mountains on three sides are connected together and are collectively called the Five Elements Mountains. The mountains to the west of the South Territory separate the South Territory from the West Territory. The mountains to the east of the South Territory separate the South Territory from the East Territory. The mountains to the north of the South Territory separate the South Territory from the East Territory. Central area partition.
If he wants to go to the central area of Five Elements Continent, he must pass through the mountains to the north. Ye Hong also learned that there are no flying boats in the Five Elements Continent, probably because everyone is a cultivator, and traveling usually relies on foot power or riding on domesticated monsters.
The trading currencies used in the Five Elements Continent are crystals, just like wind crystals. There is no smaller currency unit such as wind coins.
Most transactions in the Southern Territory use fire crystals, but that does not mean that other crystals are not accepted. It is just that few people trade with crystals of other attributes.
In addition to wind crystals and thunder crystals, there are also fire crystals, earth crystals, gold crystals, crystal stones, and wood crystals on the Five Elements Continent. These Five Elements crystals can all be used as trading currencies.
If you go to a bank to exchange, the exchange ratio is also one to one, but a small handling fee will be charged. These Five Elements Crystals have the same effect as the Wind Crystals and can be used to assist cultivation.
The southern region of the Five Elements Continent has a strong fire element, so there are more fire attribute cultivators.
What Ye Hong wants now is to find the news about the ninth-order demon core as soon as possible, so he plans to continue going all the way north to the central region, and also inquire about the news about the ninth-order demon core in the southern region.
If he wanted to know whether there was news about the ninth-level demon core, the first thing Ye Hong thought of was whether it was sold in the chamber of commerce in Five Elements Continent. After finding out the location of the chamber of commerce in the city, Ye Hong took Feng Shuting and went directly to the chamber of commerce.
"Senior Sister Feng, let's go visit the Queyan Chamber of Commerce. The Queyan Chamber of Commerce is considered a relatively large chamber of commerce in the Southern Region. I hope there is news about the demon core here."
As soon as they entered the Chamber of Commerce, a maid came up to them and asked, "Hello, two distinguished guests! What do you need?"
Ye Hong asked: "You want to buy high-level demon cores, I wonder if they are sold here?"
The maid said apologetically: "I'm sorry! We do not sell high-level demon cores directly, we will only auction them. If you need, you can participate in our auction."
"Then how can I participate in your auction?"
"We have an auction here every night, you can just come over at night and participate."
"Can I see what's on the auction list?"
"Please come with me." The maid led Ye Hong to the counter, took out a manual and gave it to Ye Hong to check.
Ye Hong browsed through it and found that there was no ninth-level demon core that he wanted, and the highest-level one was only seventh-level.
Ye Hong asked: "Is the highest level only seventh level? Is there a ninth level demon core?"
"I'm very sorry! The ninth-level demon cores are too rare, and there are rarely auctions. And even if there are, our branch here does not have the authority to auction them. You have to go to the Blazing City headquarters."
"Okay! Does your chamber of commerce have any news about the ninth-level demon core?"
"Sorry! We don't have this either. I still recommend that you go to the Blazing City headquarters."
Although Ye Hong had been prepared, he was still a little disappointed, but in the end he was relieved. After all, he had just arrived in the Five Elements Continent, and it was normal not to find him.
"It's still early, Senior Sister Feng, do you want to take a stroll here? See if there's anything you like."
"OK!"
Feng Shuting was still full of curiosity about these rare treasures in the hall. When she saw the two of them were interested in a certain item, the maid who followed them would patiently introduce it to them.
After looking around, Ye Hong found that the things placed in the hall were indeed better than what he had seen on Fenglei Continent, and some of them had never been seen before.
The prices are quite reasonable, not very expensive, and can only be said to be good value for money. However, there is nothing that he needs, and Ye Hong doesn't like to spend money randomly, so he doesn't buy anything.
Seeing that Feng Shuting looked around and didn't particularly like anything, she asked, "What? There's nothing you like?"
"No, let's go!" Then he led Ye Hong and left the Queyan Chamber of Commerce.
The maid who entertained Ye Hong and the others saw that the two of them had walked around and bought nothing. She couldn't help but sigh and continued to stand at her post.
"I asked you, why are you so polite to those two pretentious old haters! After shopping around for a long time, you didn't buy anything. It's a waste of time!" A maid next to her said arrogantly.
"They are guests as soon as they enter the door. This is what we should do. Whether to buy or not is their business. Maybe it's just that my service was not good enough and my explanation was not detailed enough, so they did not like what they were interested in." The maid explained. road.
The arrogant maid did not agree with her statement and sneered. At this time, another older maid next to her said,
"Yu Fei, you really got it wrong this time! Those two people really didn't like what's here.
Although the man was plain-looking, bald, and didn't recognize many treasures, the gorgeous clothes he wore were worth a lot, costing at least three to five crystals.
Not to mention what the woman next to me is wearing. The workmanship, style and materials of that colorful feather coat are all something I have never seen before. It can definitely be bought with more than a few crystals. "
Ye Hong and the two wandered around the street for a while, and it was getting late.
"Senior Sister Feng, your turn-around rate is too high! Even if you cover up your appearance, you can't block your temperament."
Ye Hong was very depressed about the attention Feng Shuting attracted, not because he didn't want others to look at Feng Shuting, but because Feng Shuting could easily attract the attention of interested people and he was afraid of causing trouble.
Now, in addition to having stronger physical defense, my cultivation level is only at the third level of the Soul Tribulation Realm. I can't defeat those who are above the Mortal Realm, and I'm afraid I won't be able to protect Feng Shuting.
Feng Shuting also understood what Ye Hong meant, but she just looked like this, and there was no way to make herself ugly, nor did she want to make herself ugly.
"Then how about I become invisible?"
"Forget it! It's fine just like this. I can also experience the jealous looks of others." Ye Hong said with a smile.
"If we encounter trouble, it's not too late to become invisible. Tomorrow we will continue walking north without stopping on the way and go directly to Blazing City."
Following Ye Hong's advice, the two of them set off to continue their journey north the next day, traveling through the mountains and rivers. Feng Shuting was also very happy.
Feng Shuting herself had no purpose in coming to Five Elements Continent this time. She just wanted to be with Ye Hong. She wanted to follow him, travel to the beautiful mountains and rivers, and watch the sunrise and sunset together, and the clouds roll and relax.
The outside world is new to both of them, with never-before-seen wonders and a different environment. It is not as harmonious as on the Fenglei Continent. The people here are aggressive and will fight at every turn.
There were sparring events outside the city from time to time, and no one stopped them. Whenever Ye Hong encountered them, he would avoid them to avoid accidental injuries. Sometimes there would be monsters flying in the sky, making Ye Hong, who was flying with his sword, envious.
I thought, 'I'm going to have to get a mount in the future too, this is so cool.' '
After a month of traveling, Ye Hong and the two were getting closer and closer to Blazing Fire City.
"According to the current speed, we should be able to reach Blazing City tomorrow. Let's rest in the woods tonight!"
Feng Shuting behind her hugged Ye Hong tightly and whispered in Ye Hong's ear. Ye Hong slowly fell into the woods below with his flying sword.
"What do you want to eat tonight?"
"The rabbit you roasted last time was delicious."
"Okay! I'll go see if there's any around here. You go pick up some dry firewood and come back."
At night, next to the bonfire, Feng Shuting snuggled next to Ye Hong and watched the burning bonfire quietly, while Ye Hong carefully turned the barbecue on the fire.
"Recently, I asked you to sleep in the open air with me. Thank you for your hard work! Let's take a good rest when we get to Blazing City."
"I think this is good. Every day is a different scenery. And as long as you are by my side, it doesn't matter where I go."
"You'll definitely get annoyed if you keep following me!"
"I won't, I will follow you all the time."
During this time, Ye Hong felt that the fire element in his heart was getting stronger and stronger. He couldn't help but sigh when he thought that if he couldn't find a ninth-level earth attribute demon core for fusion, his lifespan might end in just a few years.
Feng Shuting thought Ye Hong sighed because she was annoyed with herself, and her mood suddenly became a little low. At this time, the barbecue was also cooked. Ye Hong handed the barbecue to Feng Shuting. Feng Shuting didn't take the barbecue for a long time. Ye Hong couldn't help but asked in confusion,
"What’s wrong with you?"
"Do you hate me? Do you find me annoying?" Feng Shuting said in a low voice.
Ye Hong rubbed Feng Shuting's head and said softly: "What nonsense are you talking about! How can I feel annoyed when a beautiful woman like you is here? It's too late for me to be happy!"
"Then you sighed just now?"
"You just think too much! I just lament that life like this is wonderful, and I really want to live for another few decades."
"There's nothing to sigh about. You're only in your twenties. Even if you don't break through to the golden elixir stage, you still have more than a hundred years."
Ye Hong asked, "Do you know why I came to Five Elements Continent?"
