In the north-eastern part of the Tianyun Continent, there are large areas of houses and buildings. This is none other than Alchemy City, one of the big cities where ordinary people live on the continent.
This is a very strange city. It does not have a very high city wall, but no one has attacked it, because when you look from outside the city, you will see that the entire city is wrapped in a lavender light shield.
The strange thing is that in the sky above Alchemy City, which covers a very large area, there are no powerful people above the level of Spirit Master flying above, and there are even no people running at high speed around Alchemy City.
If you ask why this happens, I would say that it is not the deterrent power of Alchemy City, but the magic of Tianyun Continent.
On the Sky Meteor Continent, two huge dark purple stones were discovered. Any spiritual masters or spiritual warriors near them would have their spiritual power suppressed to the limit. This made the state of most spiritual masters, will be reduced to the same level as ordinary people.
And this magical stone is also called the Forbidden Demon Stone by the world. There are two pieces of Forbidden Demon Stone, one is in the north-eastern part of Tianyue Continent, which is the current Alchemy City; the other is in the central-southeast part of Tianyue Continent, which is the current area of Medicine Spirit City.
Alchemy City and Medicine Spirit City both have vast territories. The reason why this is so is because the radiation range of the Forbidden Demon Stone is so large.
It is also because of the Forbidden Demon Stone that most spiritual masters are unwilling to stay nearby. Over time, Alchemy City and Yao Ling have become the hometowns of most ordinary people.
This is also the reason why Alchemy City and Medicine Spirit City are so valuable, but no one in the realm would attack them.
However, everything is not as beautiful as imagined. Both Alchemy City and Yao Ling are indeed the hometowns of ordinary people. However, in the Tianyun Continent, the proportion of ordinary people is much greater than that of psychics, and ordinary people have The territory is much smaller than that of the psychics.
Therefore, in the Alchemy City, the pressure of competition is very high. In the Alchemy City, unless you have wisdom beyond ordinary people, your life in the Alchemy City will be very miserable; and in the Medicine City, if you do not have knowledge of medicines, Research talent, and your life is not very good.
Therefore, there is no eternal stability, only endless competition, and this is the fate of ordinary people. In fact, it is not the case. If you have no pursuit, where can you live without living? Although outside Alchemy City and Medicine Spirit City, your life is not guaranteed.
At this moment, in a corner of Alchemy City, a middle-aged man and woman are running a small stall. Their business is not very good, but they can still survive.
"Yue'er, I'm sorry, it's all because of your incompetence. Even if you have good talent, we can't give you a chance." After the only guest left, the man said to the woman in the hut in frustration.
Yes, Alchemy City is not as beautiful as everyone imagines. It does not mean that a person with talent and wisdom will have a way out.
Because spiritual power cannot be used in Alchemy City, if an ordinary person wants to be famous and successful, he must have the opportunity to communicate with the upper class. But for 90% of people, they don't even have this opportunity.
Therefore, Alchemy City has never been a beautiful society on the surface, but a real human society. Just like what men say, because they are poor, they have no chance for their children to show their strength.
If you have no money and no one to connect with you, those in power will not look at you at all. This is also the reason why it is difficult for ordinary people to survive in Tianyun Continent. Most wealthy people hope that their resources can be passed on to their children.
To put it simply, they hope that the rich will always be rich and the poor will always be poor.
"Dad, Mom, it's okay. It's not your fault. Why don't we leave Alchemy City!" A woman in the room said hopefully.
"No, Yue'er, although we have a hard life here, we can still live safely! When we go outside, no one cares about the life or death of us ordinary people." After hearing his daughter's words, the man immediately denied it. . Read the book
This is not entirely correct. The most miserable people in Tianyun Continent are ordinary people like them, but for other ordinary people
From a human perspective, although they are ordinary, they are born into large aristocratic families, so their lives are not bitter. Apart from the genocide, their lives are still very ordinary.
"Dad, Mom, believe in Yue'er. Yue'er is no longer the same Yue'er as before. Yue'er will definitely lead you to live a good life." Inside the house, the woman did not give up and continued to persuade.
"Yue'er, stop talking and get the stool out for daddy." The man didn't consider this idea at all and rejected her daughter's words in one breath.
At this moment, a bunch of giant figures suddenly appeared in the distance, and wherever the giant went, everyone stayed away.
Despite the man's panic and helplessness, the group of giants arrived in front of their shop.
"Wen Lou Zhang, you have to pay the protection fee this month!" the giant said arrogantly in front of the shop.
In fact, this giant is not a special person, but a three-meter-tall fish-man clan, and the one who wants protection money from Wen Lou Zhang is the biggest bully of this generation, the crab man Zaipei Qianjian.
At this point, we must emphasize the magic-forbidden rules of the magic-forbidden stone. The magic-forbidden effect of the magic-forbidden stone has no effect on the spiritual master, so here, the spiritual master can still use his small amount of spiritual power.
As for the spiritual masters who have not reached the level of the spiritual master, their rank will be reduced to that of a spiritual master. The powerful ones who are spiritual masters will be reduced to the rank of a spiritual master. For those who are strong, their rank will be reduced to that of a master of spiritual skills. After reaching the level of God, you are not affected by the forbidden magic stone.
So, by coincidence, this Zaipei Qianjian is an eighth-level spiritual master. Coupled with the fish-men's naturally large physique and physical weapons, this makes them a bully among ordinary people.
"Uncle Qianjian, can you please slow down the protection fee for this month? I really have no money this month," Wen Lou Zhang said in fear.
Normally, he would set aside some money every month to pay protection fees, but this month he spent money to find a relationship with his daughter. But in the end, the money was wasted, the relationship has not been found, and now, he can't even pay the protection fee.
"Hey, hey, you have no money. You still want to climb a high branch without money. Don't think that I don't know what you want to do. I will tell you today. If you can't get the money, I will make you all feel uncomfortable." Zaipei Qianjian was very disdainful. Speaking of which, at least here, he is still very well-informed.
"Uncle Qianjian, give me another ten days. After ten days, I will give it to you exactly." After hearing these threatening words, Wen Lou Zhang quickly prayed.
"Hey, hey, don't you understand what I'm saying? I'm going to see the money today," Zaipei Qianjian continued to say fiercely as he pushed Wen Lou Zhang away who was pleading.
"Uncle, uncle, please give me ten days!"...
Seeing Wen Lou Zhang who only cried and begged, Zaipei Qianjian also lost his patience. He waved his hand and directed his men to move forward.
Now that the plot has developed to this point, you might ask, doesn’t Alchemy City have laws? Yes, indeed there is, but in this extremely involved society, interests outweigh most of the rule of law.
As long as you don't kill people, you can live a stable life in Alchemy City if you have money and power. If you say something unpleasant or kill some weak people at the bottom, as long as you have money, you will still be fine. It's cruel and you can't stand it, but it's the truth.
"Ah! Who are you?"
Just when a fishman boy walked forward and was about to punch Wen Lou Zhang, a woman suddenly jumped out of the room and kicked the fishman away.
"Yue'er, get out of here. Uncle, I'm sorry. I didn't discipline my little girl well. Please forgive me." Wen Lou Zhang said very frightenedly when he saw his daughter suddenly appeared.
"Dad, why are you begging him? He has no intention of letting us go." On the other hand, the woman did not mean to admit her mistake, but said it with confidence.
"Oh! Wen Lou Zhang, you have a daughter! How come I never knew about it?" Zaipei Qianjian said curiously when he saw the woman who suddenly appeared.
Yes, this is the case for people around here. If the son is a son, he may be allowed to work, but the daughter is a
As long as the protection fee is paid, these bullies will not do anything, but they cannot guarantee whether anything will happen to their daughter, so Wen Lou Zhang still hides her daughter very well.
"Uncle Qianjian, it's all my fault. If you want to hit me, just hit me! It has nothing to do with my daughter." On the ground, Wen Lou Zhang didn't answer anything. He just buried his head in begging for mercy.
"Humph, isn't Xiaonizi good-looking? Have you ever thought about playing with me? How about not paying the protection fee this month?" Zaipei Qianjian ignored Wenlou Zhang, and He said to the woman with a lustful look.
"Bah, Zaipei Qianjian, others are afraid of you, but I, Wen Yuezhang, am not afraid of you. You bully, the scum of the fish people, and the worm of the Alchemy City should disappear here." The woman did not give any face, and was very determined. said.
Yes, this person is not an insignificant person, she is Wen Yue Zhang, the heavenly magician that Yang Yu met in the abandoned city.
Now Wen Yuezhang, after undergoing Yang Yu's purified physique, has reached the level of an advanced sky magician. His current specific level is equivalent to the level of a fifth-level spiritual technician.
If she were outside the Alchemy City, this Zai Pei Qianjian would definitely not be her opponent, but now Wen Yue Zhang's strength has been suppressed to the level of a fifth-level spiritual master, so Wen Yue Zhang has been calculating for a long time now. .
"Hey, hey, little girl, it's okay to have a temper, but don't be too arrogant! You guys, catch her." Regarding Wen Yuezhang's provocation, Zaipei Qianjian did not take her seriously. Instead, he wanted his men to catch Wen Yuezhang.
"Yes, boss"
"Hey, hey, little girl, let's catch you without any effort!"
"Yes, little girl, our boss will take good care of you, hahaha."
"Yes, yes, there are us too! Hahaha"...
