The fat cultivator opened his small eyes and said lazily: "I'm not in a hurry. I just need to reach Dingbei before sunset. If I want to leave now, that's fine, but I won't pay for the extra spirit stones."
In order to save fifty yuan of first-grade spiritual stones, this person was actually willing to wait any longer. However, everyone also understood that what he meant was not that he didn't want to leave, but that he didn't want to spend more spiritual stones.
The young man was a little annoyed, turned around and walked away. Returning to the original place, he said to Zhou Yang and others: "Everyone, how about we share the situation equally?"
"Okay." Zhou Yang took the lead in responding, and the others nodded.
After hearing what the young man said, the face of the fat cultivator changed, his small eyes started to move around, and his face became a little uncertain.
What he really meant was that he didn't want to give out the fifty extra spirit stones, but wanted others to share it. As long as the middle-aged man relaxed his words, he would be fine if he gave out a little less.
Unexpectedly, the young man left him and wanted to collect two thousand spirit stones with the others. He couldn't help but become anxious. If these seven people were all gone, he didn't know how long he would wait. It will also cost more spirit stones. Especially when the other six people agreed to split the money equally, he became even more anxious.
"Just do it." Zhou Yang felt contempt in his heart.
When the seven people took out the spiritual stones and handed them to the guards, the fat cultivator walked up to Zhou Yang and others in a few steps, quickly took out 250 yuan of first-grade spiritual stones, squeezed out a smile and said: "Fellow Taoists, wait a minute. Let me know, although I’m not in a hurry, it’s better to take a step earlier, hehe.”
The young man said with disdain: "It's still early before sunset, why spend an extra fifty yuan!"
"Hehe, fifty spiritual stones are nothing, nothing, hehe."
Everyone also showed ridicule.
The fat cultivator handed the spirit stone to the guard and jumped onto the transmission platform first. Six people also boarded the platform one after another. The young man snorted coldly and followed.
A guard took out four dark green second-grade spiritual stones and inserted them into the dragon's mouth. At the same time, he fired spiritual power into the dragon's body. The dragon's body began to change color, and a white light bloomed on the teleportation platform. In just a flash, the eight people disappeared.
Zhou Yang felt his eyes go dark, he was dizzy, and he couldn't see anything.
The feeling of long-distance teleportation is really uncomfortable. Not only is the dizziness stronger than that of short-distance teleportation, but it also feels like the blood all over the body is rushing straight to the brain. Without spiritual power to suppress it, Zhou Yang doubts whether his head will explode.
No wonder none of the cultivators who passed through this formation were lower than the Lingtai realm, or even in the early stage of the Lingtai realm, with the exception of Tie Hu. If you can't reach the realm, you won't be able to bear it at all.
However, Zhou Yang was still wondering, if the low-level cultivators couldn't bear it, how could the low-level disciples of the Tu family and the He family pass the teleportation array when they went out for training?
Zhou Yang was very worried about Tie Hu, but while he was in the teleportation, he couldn't see or hear anything, and he didn't dare to make any changes, otherwise the power of space would tear him apart.
Knowing that the long-distance teleportation array was so uncomfortable, he didn't bring Tie Hu here.
When Zhou Yang felt the pressure getting bigger and bigger, his eyes suddenly blurred, and he suddenly felt a vast expanse of white. After a few breaths, the dizziness gradually disappeared and his eyesight became brighter.
He found Tiehu holding his head, shaking in pain.
"Why are you still standing there, come down!" An impatient voice came from Zhou Yang's ear, and he couldn't help but look around, only to see a black-armored cultivator looking askance at them.
Zhou Yang ignored him and helped Tie Hu step off the platform. Only then did he have the energy to look around.
What appeared in front of him was a dense forest and rolling mountains in the distance, not a city.
Zhou Yang swayed and then turned around, only to see the tall and towering bluestone city wall in front of him. This is Dingbei City!
After another ten breaths, Tiehu slowly calmed down, as if he had just woken up, rubbing his eyes and looking around: "Are we here?"
"arrive."
"It's so damn uncomfortable. I won't be punished next time!"
Zhou Yang smiled bitterly, how can you go back without being punished? Do you still want to live here forever?
After Tiehu was completely awake, the two of them walked into the city.
The bluestone city wall in Dingbei is much taller than that of Anping City. The large bluestones are densely arranged, with the same size and color, giving people a strong visual impact. Such neat bluestones are definitely not comparable to Anping City.
The architectural style of the city gate is also different from that of Anping. It is larger, taller, wider and more impressive. There is a square white boulder directly above the city gate, with two large black characters on the boulder: "Dingbei".
There are nine huge pillars on both sides of the city gate that are tens of feet high. There are various patterns on the giant pillars. Under each giant pillar stands a guard in golden armor, holding a golden halberd and a long knife on his waist. The eighteen golden-armored guards all stood with their heads held high, majestic and majestic.
The first impression given by Dingbeicheng is that it is quite imposing and intimidating.
At the city gate, there are four guards in black armor who are responsible for collecting entry fees from passers-by. It seems like it's the same everywhere, they won't let you go to town in vain.
Zhou Yang handed over four spiritual stones and entered Dingbei City with Tie Hu.
He had confirmed the direction before entering the city, and coupled with his previous understanding, he knew that this was the Nancheng District of Dingbei.
The construction style in Dingbei South City is also different from Anping. The streets are paved with large square bluestones, and the pavilions on both sides are also tall and gorgeous, with different styles and unique sentiments.
Dingbeicheng is surrounded by mountains and forests, and the most indispensable thing is stone and wood. Therefore, we are very particular about the materials used in construction, especially the high-quality materials, which are definitely high-quality.
Compared with Dingbei, there are no mountains within 2,000 miles around Anping City. The stone materials used for construction have to be transported from Cangshou Mountain, 2,000 miles away. The cost is much higher, so it is practical and not too particular.
It was past noon at this time, and although it was late autumn, the sun was still shining brightly, shining warmly on people. There were many pedestrians on the street, and it was bustling and lively.
The two of them kept walking along this straight street. After just a few steps, a young man came forward and said with a smile on his face: "You two come to Beicheng, I..."
But before the man finished speaking, he heard someone behind him say: "Brothers, do you want to go shopping in Dingbei City?"
Zhou Yang turned around and saw that he was an acquaintance. It was the young cultivator who proposed to share the transmission costs equally.
This man was in his mid-twenties, had a decent appearance, bright eyes, was dressed in blue cloth, and had a level 9 cultivation level in the Lingtai. He was looking at him and Tiehu with a smile on his face.
"Exactly, brother, you also want to visit Dingbeicheng?" Zhou Yang said with a smile.
The man said to the young cultivator: "They are my friends."
The young man glanced at him, then at Zhou Yang, curled his lips, and turned to leave.
"My ancestral home is Dingbei. My name is Chongjiu. I was working in Anping City before and happened to be traveling with fellow Taoists. If I'm not mistaken, it should be your first time to Dingbei. If you don't mind, I can help you. lead the way."
"It turns out to be fellow Taoist Chongjiu, disrespectful, disrespectful. If so, wouldn't it waste fellow Taoist's time?" Zhou Yang said, cupping his fists.
"It doesn't matter, I'll live in Nancheng. I've seen my brother in Anping and he's a cheerful person, so it's nothing to waste a little time. I can be your guide as to how you two get around." Chongjiu also said with his fists in hand.
He had a good impression of Zhou Yang. During the teleportation formation in Anping City, Zhou Yang was the first to respond to his suggestion.
"So, thank you, fellow Taoist."
"I wonder where you two want to go in Dingbei?"
"The two of us also came here to buy some materials. I don't know where they are more complete." Zhou Yang asked.
"You two have really asked the right people. I know a thing or two about the large and small shops in Dingbeicheng as well as the Ziyoufang City. As for the place with the most complete materials, it has to be Dashun Trading Company. It's just Dashun. The store area of the trading house is not in Nancheng, but in Xicheng. If you two are eager to buy or sell, we can go there immediately." Chongjiu said.
"Dashun Trading Company! That trading company that sells slaves!" Zhou Yang naturally knew this trading company, and Li Tong and his sister bought it from him. It seems that this Dashun Trading Company not only sells cultivating slaves, but also sells a lot of cultivation materials.
"There's no rush, we've already arrived in Nancheng, why don't we take a look first before talking." Zhou Yang waved his hand. He was indeed in no hurry. He couldn't go back today and would have to wait until tomorrow at the earliest.
"Okay, I'll take you two to visit Nancheng first." Chongjiu said with a smile.
"Friend Chongdao, I have heard that Dashun Trading Company is even more powerful than Tongzhou Trading Company in Dingbei City."
"Brother, you really know something about Dingbei City. Yes, I dare not say it elsewhere. In Dingbei City, Dashun Trading Company is indeed stronger than Tongzhou Trading Company. Not to mention other things, the big boss of Dashun Trading Company is a master of Jindan. The big shopkeeper of Tongzhou Trading Company is only at the peak of Tianyuan, and the cultivators of Dashun Trading Company are much more advanced than those of Tongzhou Trading Company. If it weren’t for the power behind Tongzhou Trading Company, Dashun Trading Company would have been eaten up by Dashun Trading Bank long ago.”
Speaking of the two trading houses, Chongjiu started talking.
"I see. Then which faction is under the jurisdiction of this Nancheng?"
"Zhou Tianzong."
"Zhou... Tianzong." Zhou Yang was startled, but he kept using the name Zhou Tian.
"Why, brother, you are also familiar with Zhou Tianzong?"
"Oh, I've heard that his sect leader is also a master of golden elixirs." Zhou Yang responded casually. What he said was pure nonsense. How could the sect that dominated Nancheng not have a master of the golden elixir?
"Yes, Master Tiansha, the leader of Zhou Tian Sect, is also the nominal lord of Dingbei City."
"There is still a city lord in Dingbei?" Zhou Yang was surprised. Mo Chenglong told him a lot about Dingbei. He thought he knew something about Dingbei City. But when he heard Chongjiu's words today, he knew he was wrong. He didn't even know there was a city lord in Dingbei, so what else could he talk about? learn.
"However, there are two sects in Dingbeicheng that are comparable to the Zhou Tianzong. One is the Dashun Trading Company and the other is the Taiqing Sect. They occupy the west city and the east city respectively. In the north city, there are four weaker sects, including three. The forces are subordinate to the three sects respectively, while the remaining Tongzhou Trading Company is in a neutral position. Zhou Tianzong does not have an absolute advantage among the three sects, so Tiansha Zhenren Hai Tianxiao is only the nominal city lord."
Chongjiu was a talkative person, and he couldn't hold back his words. Without Zhou Yang asking, he explained the distribution of forces in the city one by one.
