Zhou Yang expressed his feelings today, and had a heart-to-heart talk with Tie Hu. He expressed the frustration accumulated in his heart in one breath, and opened his heart to his senior brother without reservation.
Tiehu was also very moved. Zhou Yang was still a child when he came to Ziyuan Sect. It was Uncle Zhong who watched Zhou Yang grow up day by day. He regarded Zhou Yang as his biological brother. Of course, he had the responsibility to take care of him, and he did not allow others to harm him.
"Little Yangzi, although you and I are still ants now, I believe in you. We will definitely become strong and strong! Senior brother, I will do my best to help you succeed. Whoever hinders your steps or who dares to touch you, risk it all." Even if I die, I will kill him!" Tie Hu said emotionally.
"Senior brother!" Zhou Yang's eyes were a little moist.
"Come on, don't be such a pussy. We're going to make it!"
"Yes, we will become strong!"
Two days later.
"Brother, I'm going to the city to have a look." Zhou Yang was going to Anping City to inquire about the situation and see the current situation.
"You go ahead, I'm watching over here.".
"Chihu, stop running around and watch the spirit field carefully." Zhou Yang explained to Chihu again with gestures and words.
"You can take him with you so that he can have a helper."
"The city is safer than here. Chi Hu can help you keep an eye on it. You two brothers can also have a good time together and cultivate their relationship. Hehe!" Zhou Yang smiled at Tie Hu.
"I am raising a bird. This guy has always disliked me and is indifferent. Why is he so arrogant?" Tiehu complained. As time went by, he didn't feel too dissatisfied with the two brothers Chi Hu, but Chi Hu always ignored him and made him feel resentful.
"Hehe, so you have to cultivate feelings! Only when you are good to him can he be good to you, right?"
"I'll give it a try." Tiehu said with a grimace.
Deliberately bypassing the spiritual field where he had previously traded, Zhou Yang came to the west gate of Anping, depressedly handed over a spiritual stone, and then entered the city.
Today is not a day when the free market is open, but there are actually many stalls and a lot of people.
Have the rules been changed?
Full of doubts, he came to Shopkeeper Liang's stall.
"It's not like I changed the rules. The cultivators in the city started to rush to buy materials. Some even came to my house. So I just set up a stall to do business. There was a stall owner, and the other stall owners also came out. ." Shopkeeper Liang looked happy, obviously business was going very well.
“Doesn’t that mean the market is open every day?”
"That's about right. The Blue Beast Palace didn't interfere. It's estimated that the market will be open every day."
"How are the surrounding cities?"
"Only the teleportation array leading to Dingbei City is left. The rest are closed and the news cannot be transmitted. It seems that there are several larger cities in the north that are also experiencing beast tides, with different sizes." Shopkeeper Liang said.
"Oh. How often does a beast tide usually occur? I remember that there has never been a beast tide in Tu Yan City!" Zhou Yang asked curiously.
"How old are you? A general beast tide breaks out once every forty or fifty years. It is not large in scale and can be resisted every time. A big beast tide should happen once every hundred years. Our Anping City had a beast tide thirty years ago. According to past experience, it shouldn’t be the time to explode yet, but that’s not necessarily the case, who can tell clearly about this monster.”
"No one can explain clearly. By the way, Shopkeeper Liang, can I ask you a favor?" Zhou Yang nodded in agreement, but suddenly remembered something, and raised his hand to Shopkeeper Liang.
"you say."
"I have been in Anping City for more than half a month. Every time I enter the city, I have to pay for the spirit stones. I don't care about the spirit stones, but it is too troublesome. I don't have a formal status, and it is not practical to stay here. I rented fifty Mu Lingtian, I can be considered settled in this city. Can you be my guarantee and apply for a permanent resident certificate in the city? Don’t worry, your help will not be in vain." With that, Zhou Yang took out twenty A piece of spiritual stone was handed to Shopkeeper Liang.
"We are friends, what are you doing!" Shopkeeper Liang was not being pretentious. He did not accept the spirit stone. Zhou Yang was selling materials to him. He also wanted to build a good relationship with Zhou Yang and form a regular customer.
"Don't you still have to find someone for help? Isn't it difficult if you don't take the spirit stone?"
"This is not a big deal, okay." Shopkeeper Liang took the spirit stone and said: "This matter is jointly managed by the three sects. I have a friend in Tongzhou Trading Company. He should be able to handle it for you. When the time comes, Once it's done, I'll just give you the token. By the way, are you doing it yourself?"'
"And my senior brother, this is the good relationship between the two of us." Zhou Yang handed over a piece of paper and said: "By the way, Shopkeeper Liang, how many spiritual stones are needed to apply for a permanent resident token?"
"As long as someone is a guarantee, each person will receive five spiritual stones."
"Oh, then I'll give you another ten yuan." After saying that, Zhou Yang took out ten more spiritual stones.
"Okay, brother, aren't you looking down on me? We are already friends. Don't worry, just come to me in a few days." What Shopkeeper Liang said was sincere, and he put down his airs as a brother. Zhou Yang didn't want to force him to do anything, so he talked about the situation in the surrounding cities for a while, and then left.
After leaving Freefang City, Zhou Yang wandered aimlessly in the West City, and finally stopped in front of the gate of a magnificent palace complex. On both sides of the gate are statues of giant monsters, each of them several feet tall, with heads as big as buckets, huge teeth, and extremely ferocious looks. Zhou Yang looked at them for a long time and didn't recognize what monster they were.
The plaque directly above the gate has three characters: "Cang Beast Palace".
The three characters are written with vigorous brushwork and iron strokes, which give people a huge sense of shock and awe. They must be written by a master.
The gate tower is tall and it is a large palace in itself. It is majestic and makes people look up to it.
In front of the door, there are four huge pillars that are more than ten feet high and surrounded by several people. There is a winding blue dragon on each top. The blue dragon wraps around the giant pillars from bottom to top. Finally, a dragon's head pokes out from the top. The dragon's mouth opens wide. The horns are ferocious.
"As expected of a sect famous for raising spiritual beasts!" Zhou Yang secretly praised.
Two giant red-painted doors are seven or eight feet high, with door knockers in the shape of alien beasts and corner doors on both sides. At this time the door is closed and only the corner door is open.
Looking inside, the vast array of palaces and pavilions looked like a small city, and waves of huge beast roars came from the palace.
This is the sect second only to the three major sects and half the owner of the West City, Cang Beast Palace.
Zhou Yang watched from a distance and felt that compared with Zi Yuanzong, one was a mountain village and the other was a big city.
In front of the Cang Beast Palace, cultivators riding spiritual beasts would enter and exit from the corner gate from time to time. These cultivators wore green robes with animal-shaped patterns embroidered on their chests. Those patterns were similar to the giant animal sculptures at the door. It seemed that this was the symbol of Cang Beast Palace.
Zhou Yang also discovered that from time to time, carts filled with spiritual herbs and elixirs would enter the palace gate, and the cultivators transporting the spiritual herbs and elixirs were obviously not from the Cang Beast Palace. These people had to show a pass token to enter and exit, Qingpao The guards will check each person before entering.
"That person is..." Zhou Yang suddenly discovered an acquaintance. He was the stall owner who bought his red madder. Naturally, he was not a disciple of Cang Beast Palace.
Seeing this person, Zhou Yang already understood in his heart.
Cangshou Palace will not purchase spiritual herbs and elixirs from retail investors, but will only purchase them in large quantities. These vendors and stall owners are engaged in resale business. They purchase spiritual herbs and elixirs in Free Square City, and then sell them to Cang Beast Palace when they accumulate to a certain amount.
Judging from the amount of spiritual herbs and elixirs sent in by the stall owner, it must be at least 200,000 kilograms. Two hundred thousand kilograms, that’s not tens of thousands of spiritual stones!
Most of Zhou Yang's ideas that just came up were extinguished. He couldn't do business worth tens of thousands of spirit stones. Even so, the idea was always swirling in my mind.
He didn't stop any longer, turned around and left the gate of Cang Beast Palace.
The streets near the Blue Beast Palace are obviously much wider than those in Free City, and the number and size of shops on both sides of the streets are also much larger than those in Free City. There are teahouses, wine shops, craftsmen's shops and even brothels, which are very lively.
Zhou Yang passed by a craftsman's shop called "Qidao Pavilion" and couldn't help but stop for a moment. From the name of the shop, he knew that this was a shop for crafting weapons.
He stared at the words Qidao Pavilion for a while, but he was thinking about the elixir in his mind. I walked around a few streets before, but I didn't find any shop specifically selling elixirs. It seemed that the alchemist didn't open a shop by himself. But the craftsman is different. He usually produces and sells his own products, that is, he has a shop in the front and a shop in the back.
Thinking of this, Zhou Yang stepped into Qidao Pavilion.
The store has a small facade, but once you walk in, you realize that the store is very deep, about ten feet in length. Both sides of the house are filled with various kinds of magical instruments, from low-grade to high-grade, from knives, swords, drums, bells to shields, rings, furnaces, tripods, and even Chengui placed in the quiet room. There are many types. It’s dizzying.
Walking deep into the store, Zhou Yang was attracted by a magical artifact. This object is shaped like a flag. The flag is three feet long, has a blue surface and an ominous texture, and is inlaid with jade pieces.
"Purple jade flag, the best magical weapon!" Zhou Yang's eyes were bright. Although the function of this magic weapon is not explained, it must be extraordinary.
He had seen high-grade magic weapons in Ziyuan Sect, but this was the first time he had seen top-grade magic weapons.
At this time, the waiter came up to greet Zhou Yang and asked him diligently what kind of magic weapon he needed. In fact, Zhou Yang didn't mean to buy it, he just wanted to broaden his horizons. The few magic weapons he currently had were enough. Although he had some spirit stones, he still had to pay two months' worth of mortal wages, and there wouldn't be much left to buy three months' worth of food.
But now that you are here, if you don’t buy anything and it doesn’t look good, then choose something that is cheap and practical.
Zhou Yang thought about it and walked towards the direction where the shield was placed.
The magic shields here range from low-grade to high-grade, but there is no top-grade magic shield. It is most suitable for Zhou Yang to use Yuan Shield now, but he is not far from the Lingtai realm, so it is not cost-effective to buy Yuan Shield again.
After looking around for a moment, he spotted a round magic shield. It was a mid-grade spiritual shield, about the size of a palm. The material was the skin of a third-level high-level monster, the Ironback Mountain Beaver. Infused with elemental or spiritual power, this shield can cover the whole body and can withstand a full blow from cultivators in the middle stage of the Lingtai, but the defense power against the early stage of the Lingtai is much greater. This shield is not cheap, it costs a hundred yuan of first-grade spiritual stones.
Now Zhou Yang is only one step away from reaching the peak of Yuan Dynasty. If he wants to fight against the early cultivators of Lingtai, he still has more than enough ambition but not enough strength. Although this shield requires spiritual power to exert its full power, it can exert at least half of its defensive power with Yuan Li. It can more or less protect itself when encountering early practitioners of the spiritual platform.
