"There are many monks in Tianfeng City and the supply is sufficient. The resources here are all transported from other cities. This is the rear of the Great Wall and the second line of defense behind the Great Wall."
Zhao Pingan looked at Li Xiuyuan and Chen Shanshan and said in a solemn voice.
Li Xiuyuan looked at him and nodded in response: "So, Tianfeng City is indeed the base of the Great Wall."
"We will go in and have a rest today before getting ready to head to the Great Wall. The journey ahead will be dangerous, so everyone must keep their spirits up and not be careless."
Standing outside Tianfeng City, Zhao Pingzi looked at Li Xiuyuan and his group and said seriously.
Looking around, there are many skeletons outside Tianfeng City, some have rotted, and some are still stubbornly stuck on the ground, making a whining sound when a gust of wind passes by.
Outside Tianfeng City under the setting sun, everything is desolate as far as the eye can see.
"Why do you have to fight and kill..."
Li Xiuyuan, who didn't know what was going on, muttered, and made up his mind that if he really couldn't find what the ancient blue dragon wanted, he would find a place to hide for two years. At worst, he would go back and not want the three drops of blood essence.
My life is at stake. With my cultivation in the mid-distraction stage, how many times can I charge and kill outside the Great Wall?
After queuing up to enter the city, it was Li Xiuyuan's turn soon. They each took out their identity tags and asked the city guards to check them carefully before they passed safely and entered Tianfeng City.
Tianfeng City is larger than Tiannan City, and the crowds coming and going on the streets are mostly monks of all kinds. It's just that people are coming and going, but there is no lively sound in Tiannan City. Everyone is passing by in a hurry, and no one is willing to stop talking.
Along the way, Li Xiuyuan found that there were a lot of cultivation resources here. Whether it's elixirs, runes, weapons, etc., you can see people selling them everywhere.
This was a scene he had never seen in Tianfeng Kingdom, or maybe he entered the palace as soon as he entered Tianfeng Kingdom and had no chance to contact the outside world.
There is a Tianfeng King City in Shura Heaven, and there is also a Tianfeng City here, which made Li Xiuyuan feel like he was going home.
I don’t know if there is a place called Luoxia Mountain somewhere outside the city. Is there a Taoist temple on the mountain?
Thinking of this, Li Xiuyuan couldn't help but giggle.
After searching all the way, everyone finally found an inn to stay. Everyone had to have a good rest and prepare to go to the Great Wall tomorrow.
Zhao Ping'an left with Chen Shanshan. In Li Xiuyuan's opinion, these six people seemed to know the elders stationed here, unlike him who was just a passerby.
However, Li Xiuyuan naturally would not share his secret with Zhao Ping'an. He only hoped that two years would pass quickly, allowing him to return to the ancient Canglong and then return to the academy.
After Zhao Pingan left with Chen Shanshan, Li Xiuyuan also walked out of the inn after washing up. He wanted to go for a walk in Tianfeng City. He had never visited Tianfeng King City before, so it was a strange experience for him. Small regret.
It was dark, and there were still many monks who were shopping under the lights of the city.
Various shops had no intention of closing. Li Xiuyuan was strolling around and looking at the crowd around him.
Looking up, even in the brightly lit store, there is no loud noise even if there are a lot of people coming and going. Even if they are buying goods, they are all whispering, like the whispers between lovers.
There were also many people wearing different styles of masks like Li Xiuyuan. Even when these masked people walked into various stores, no one felt strange, and instead they quietly started doing business.
Is that so? Me too. Li Xiuyuan was very happy. He didn't talk to him when he was practicing in the mountains. Seeing that walking on the street is like returning to the mountains to practice Buddhism, what's so difficult about this?
However, when he passed by a store, he was attracted by the scene inside.
"Refining talismans? Drawing talismans? Isn't this my strength?"
Standing at the door, Li Xiuyuan looked inside the store. I found that there were various bottles placed in the shop, with different runes inside the bottles. There were many monks wandering around the shop, communicating softly with each other.
Li Xiuyuan felt curious and stepped forward. Shi Shiran came to a bottle, reached out and picked it up and observed it carefully. For a moment, he was stunned.
I saw the runes in the bottle jumping up from the yellow paper one by one, and then lit up instantly, and then turned into a ball of flames rising into the sky and surrounding Li Xiuyuan. This was the flame turned by the runes, and even he Cannot be extinguished.
Li Xiuyuan, who was surrounded by fire, felt his clothes, hair and eyebrows burning instantly.
This scene happened so suddenly that Li Xiuyuan, who was unprepared, screamed and threw away the bottle in his hand. The flames that shot into the sky gradually became smaller and then extinguished.
He reached out to touch his body, but luckily his clothes were still there, and so was Cun Gong's hair. Li Xiuyuan sighed softly and said to himself: "What a powerful rune!"
The monks wandering around the store also looked at Li Xiuyuan like a fool, wondering if this guy was mentally ill. He would cry and laugh at times, making it difficult to figure out.
What shocked Li Xiuyuan was that even if he dropped the bottle containing the runes on the ground, there was still a little starlight in the bottle, which seemed to be burning gently, like fire in the wilderness.
"I want to learn such runes!"
"Why didn't the master teach me such runes in the first place, but only taught me the peace charms and exorcism runes?"
"With such runes, do I need to be afraid in the wilderness?"
"Boss, are there any training books on this rune for sale?"
After muttering to himself, Li Xiuyuan finally couldn't help but mutter to himself, then looked back at the clerk in the store and told him what he wanted, because he wanted to learn.
The monks who were selecting runes in the shop looked at Bai Xiaochun in unison, shook their heads, sighed, and continued to choose the runes they wanted to buy.
Li Xiuyuan also sighed. He knew this was impossible. Who would want to sell their ability to eat? Isn't this a suicide path?
At this time, an old man wearing a green robe and long gray hair walked out from the back of the shop. He walked up and picked up the bottle on the ground, looking at Li Xiuyuan and smiling.
"It seems that this is your first day in Tianfeng City, young gentleman?" the old man asked softly.
Li Xiuyuan nodded and saluted the old man, thinking whether to tell the old man in front of him his doubts.
"Fighting on the Great Wall is not easy. You don't know it when you first come here, but you will understand after you stay here for a year and a half. Everyone is very tired and looking forward to going home soon. As time goes by, even I don’t even want to say anything anymore, every communication is through sound transmission.”
"There are too many innocent souls in this land. If you are not careful, you will be entangled. They are here to buy runes. Of course, the flame runes like the ones you see can also kill enemies." The old man looked at Li Xiuyuan and smiled. said.
Li Xiuyuan clasped his fists in thanks, lowered his head and exchanged words with the old man. When he found out that there were no talisman refining books for sale here, he turned around and walked out of the shop.
Because he couldn't afford even the cheapest runes.
Walking alone on a strange street with no acquaintance, Li Xiuyuan felt that this trip was very ridiculous.
When the moon climbed up, he passed by a shop again and was deeply shocked, as if he had returned to the moment when he came down from Luoxia Mountain.
Because what this shop sells is actually slaves!
These slaves look no different from ordinary monks, except that their bodies are taller and their hands and feet are thicker. They look like enlarged versions of normal people.
Each of these slaves had their whole bodies sealed with runes. They were sitting on the ground one by one. There were men and women, but their eyes were dull and colorless.
"Little brother, buy a slave to accompany you. You can't live without two slaves in Tianfeng City and the Great Wall."
Seeing Li Xiuyuan wearing a mask come in, a waiter came up, attached himself to Li Xiuyuan's ear, and talked to him in a low voice, as if to tell him that our goods are the best.
But Li Xiuyuan had an illusion, as if the waiter was telling him: "Look, these are our fat sheep!"
Thinking about the time when he was caught by bandits and almost sold as a fat sheep, but was finally rescued by Overlord Chen because of his Shura bloodline, Li Xiuyuan couldn't help but take a breath when he thought of this.
I didn't expect that in another world, there would be bandits and the trade of people.
Li Xiuyuan felt an inexplicable sadness in his heart.
"You see, their physical strength is extremely strong. They are the best choice for servants. They have forbidden seals on their bodies. You are not afraid that they will harm you."
The clerk continued to introduce Li Xiuyuan with a glint in his eyes, hoping to make this deal happen.
"Do you want to buy one?" Thinking about his own experience, Li Xiuyuan wanted to buy one and go back to give him freedom.
But when I inquired about it, I was dumbfounded. Tianfeng City only accepts spiritual stones for transactions, and military exploits can also be used outside the Great Wall. As for gold and silver, no store here will accept them.
"A slave is so expensive?" Li Xiuyuan asked in disbelief. He didn't even have a single spiritual stone, but this slave cost ten yuan.
And the only fairy stone he had was definitely not allowed to be taken out. He still wanted to leave alive and return to the academy.
"The price of these slaves is already very cheap. In some cities outside the Great Wall, the price of a Jindan monk captured alive by them is ten times that of a slave with the same cultivation level!"
The waiter looked at Li Xiuyuan and showed a disdainful smile.
"Those cities in the wilderness, they actually sold our monks?" Li Xiuyuan was shocked.
"To the barbarians outside the Great Wall, monks are like living spiritual stones. There are dantian and divine sea in monks' bodies, and they usually eat them raw when they buy them back..."
The shop clerk said softly, as if he was telling Li Xiuyuan something far away and unrelated to him.
Li Xiuyuan felt his scalp numb and his heart trembled when he heard it, as if he saw himself being caught by barbarians and sucked into a withered corpse.
"Is this still a place for people to stay?" Li Xiuyuan said bitterly as he walked out of the shop, feeling as if a heavy snow had fallen in the academy. He sadly returned to the inn room and spent the whole night sleepless.
...
The group ate breakfast in a hurry, followed Zhao Pingan and his group to leave Tianfeng City, heading towards the legendary Great Wall.
The further we go, the spiritual energy becomes thinner and thinner, and the speed of all living beings also slows down. If it is consumed too much, it will be difficult to recover. There is still a dangerous journey between Tianfeng City and the Great Wall.
The land here is even more desolate, the color of the passing river is also dark, and the crows are flying slowly in the sky, waiting to eat the fallen monks. This scene is shocking to Li Xiuyuan and others.
The peaks we passed were bare, without any greenery, and no vegetation could be seen.
The mountain villages we passed by had been deserted for who knows how long, and there was no trace of fireworks. It was obvious that the people here had either moved away or been killed, making the entire village look like a ghost land.
Opening his eyes, Li Xiuyuan saw the innocent souls whizzing by. Among these innocent souls, there were even those in the Nascent Soul Realm and many in the Distracting God Realm. They all looked at him with their eyes wide open.
It's just that these innocent souls seem to be afraid of Li Xiuyuan. I don't know if it's because of the dragon in his body, or because of the boundless Dharma and the pure green lotus that Li Xiuyuan has not yet awakened.
Seeing the scene in front of them, even Zhao Ping'an and Chen Shanshan had solemn expressions, not to mention the other four.
