There is a long-distance teleportation array built in Xiyao Mountain. It is located in a secret cave. If it is not brought by people from the Xiyao family, outsiders will not be able to discover it.
This teleportation array leads to Deshou City, an important town in the north of Hezhou. After five long teleports from Deshou City, it will reach the largest city in Hezhou, the ancient giant city of Xingxu under the rule of the Xingxu Sect.
These five ultra-long teleportation arrays all use fourth-grade spiritual stones, four pieces each time. Just to reach Xingxu City, twenty pieces of fourth-grade spiritual stones were used, and from Xingxu to Sheri City, There are five more long teleports.
The Xiyao family didn't care about such a small amount of spiritual stones. They not only gave Zhou Yang 200 fourth-grade spiritual stones, but also added a few fifth-grade spiritual stones to fund teleportation and assassination.
Based on the black market price, this is equivalent to a huge sum of more than one billion spiritual stones.
According to legend, the ancient city of Xingxu is a unique land formed by a huge star that fell from the sky. It has a radius of 180,000 miles, and its appearance, mountains and waters are all different from those in Hezhou.
The first is the unimaginable gravity. From the periphery of Xingxu City to the central area, the gravity gradually increases, from five or six times to fifty or sixty times, or even higher.
With such a huge gravity, ordinary people cannot survive at all, so there are no cultivators below the Tianyuan realm in Xingxu City.
The closer to the center of the city, the higher the realm of cultivators living. They are located within thousands of miles of the core area. Without advanced Jindan cultivation, you cannot enter at all.
In this way, Xingxu City is naturally divided into nine areas by gravity, which is the ninth level.
The area around the city wall is the first level, which is dominated by practitioners in the early and middle stages of Tianyuan, while the core area is the ninth level.
Therefore, Xingxu City is also called Jiuchongtian.
According to legend, underground in the Nine Heavens is the star core of the original huge star. It is precisely because of the existence of the star core that it has such a strong gravity.
It is precisely because of the existence of the star core that Xingxu City has always had a much richer spiritual energy of heaven and earth than elsewhere for countless years.
The combination of gravity and spiritual energy makes this place a holy place for cultivation that Hezhou cultivators flock to.
Although it is a holy land, Xingxu City never refuses anyone entry, as long as you have enough spiritual stones.
The entrance fee to Xingxu City is one hundred second-grade spiritual stones, and for every day of stay, a stay fee of thirty second-grade spiritual stones must be paid.
If you collect 20,000 second-grade spiritual stones at a time, or complete an intermediate-level or above task for Xingxu City, you can become a formal resident of the first to third heavens, no longer pay the entry fee and stay fee, and enjoy the official Other treatment of residents.
If you want to settle in an area above the fourth heaven, the number of spiritual stones you need to pay has reached a terrifying amount, which is simply unbearable for most people.
If you don't have spirit stones, you have to complete advanced tasks before you can become an official resident.
However, formal residents are not worry-free. All residents above the Tianyuan realm must complete a basic or above task for Xingxu City every year. If there are more tasks, you will be rewarded. If you fail to complete it, you will have to hand in the spirit stone again, or you will be expelled from the city. go.
Even so, the prosperity of Xingxu City is far from that of super giant cities such as Suiling.
There is no shortage of wealthy people in Hezhou Continent, with countless cultivators pouring in every day. There were also many people who were driven out of the city because they did not complete the task or did not have enough spiritual stones.
In this way, the population of Xingxu City has reached a dynamic balance and has been stable at around one billion for a long time.
However, in the past two years, the long-term balance has tended to be broken. The total population of the city has exceeded 1.2 billion, and it is still rising.
Because of this, prices in Xingxu City are rising steadily, especially housing.
There are two main reasons for this.
First, everyone hopes to give future generations a good development environment.
Due to the special conditions of Xingxu City, anyone born here is naturally able to withstand three to five times more gravity, and their cultivation speed is faster than in other places. Cultivators with a wealthy family are willing to settle in Xingxu City.
Even cultivators with average family backgrounds will work hard to complete intermediate-level and above tasks to gain the status of residents of Xingxu City for themselves and their descendants.
The second reason is because of the war.
Even super giant cities like Sheri City were attacked by cultivators from the Dark Continent, and some remote cities were even more targeted by them, and such wars became more and more intense.
Xingxu City is the largest city in Hezhou, and it is also the city with the most experts. With the high altitude of the city, people from the Dark Continent cannot attack no matter how fierce they are. Therefore, a large number of refugees flow into Xingxu City, which also causes a population boom. increasing phenomenon.
However, no matter how big Star Market City is, its capacity and resources are limited. If the population reaches 2 billion, the aura concentration will drop sharply and gravity will be affected.
The Xingxu Sect was naturally aware of this and took some countermeasures, such as increasing entry fees and detention fees, increasing the difficulty of tasks, etc., but the results were not great.
Because there are many people who are rich or powerful, they don't care about spiritual stones and dangerous tasks, but they still rush into Xingxu City one after another.
"This mage, please present your identity token." The city gate guard stopped an impressive monk and said politely.
"Amitabha! I dare to ask, little monk, Xingxu City doesn't tell people about their origins, why are they asking for identity tokens now?" the monk said with some dissatisfaction.
"Mage, we don't want to cause such trouble, but the upper peak has just issued an order that unknown persons are strictly prohibited from entering the city. I have no choice but to ask for your forgiveness, Mage!" the guard replied patiently.
"Great monk, are you going to enter the city? If you don't, let us leave first!" At this moment, a cultivator behind the monk said impatiently.
"Amitabha! If the donor is in a hurry, please invite him first." The monk regained his calm appearance.
Although the tall cultivator did not reveal his cultivation level, he still saw the reality of this person, the peak of the early stage of the golden elixir.
"The great monk is quite sensible, very good. Young Master, please!" The tall cultivator said and stepped out of the way to let a young man holding a folding fan go forward into the city.
The monk was a little surprised, because the man called the Young Master by the great cultivator only had the ninth level of Tianyuan cultivation.
Obviously, this person should be the master of the tall cultivator.
The followers are all masters of golden elixir, so the identity of this young man must not be simple.
"Brother Cheng, this is our identity token. Give it to the guard!" At this time, someone behind the young master took out the token and handed it to the tall cultivator.
This person is not very old, but his aura is similar to that of a tall cultivator. He is also a powerful golden elixir!
The monk was surprised again.
The tall cultivator handed the three tokens to the guard. The guard inspected them and returned them to him. Then he gave the young man a fist and said respectfully: "Master Tu, please come into the city!"
