When Jiang Chen was about to approach the city gate, he saw that the city gate was full of soldiers guarding the city. Each one was full of powerful aura. It could be seen that the situation in Sangcheng was a bit tense these days, and even the number of guards increased a few. times.
"Stop, who are you? What are you doing in Sang City?"
A strong soldier stepped forward, stopped Jiang Chen and asked sternly.
Jiang Chen's face changed in an instant, and he smiled charmingly and said: "My lord, I came from the Shang Kingdom and came to Sang City to do some business. Please be tolerant."
Jiang Chen spoke with a Dashang accent. As he spoke, he took out a spirit stone and stuffed it into it. The soldier felt the warmth in his hand and smiled on his face, seeming to be very satisfied with Jiang Chen's move.
He looked Jiang Chen up and down for a moment and said, "Since you are from the Shang Kingdom, there is no problem. Let's go into the city!"
Jiang Chen laughed a few times and asked softly: "Sir, the guards in Sang City were not so strict before I came down. How could there be such a big battle today?"
The soldier hesitated for a moment, then felt that Jiang Chen had performed well just now, so he answered a few words casually: "The King of Dashang Kingdom is coming to Sang City soon, so the city will be strictly inspected in the past few days to prevent spies from causing trouble. Since you are from Shang Kingdom, you will not It’s none of your business, go away, go away!”
Before he finished speaking, he hurriedly chased Jiang Chen away.
"Thank you, sir, thank you, sir..."
Jiang Chen clasped his fists and walked into the city gate. As soon as he entered the city, a boy who looked immature came up, chased Jiang Chen and asked, "Sir, do you need a guide? Sangcheng is quite big. I can lead the way and introduce some matters and secrets of Sang City. I only need one spiritual stone for three days. Do you need it?"
Looking at the little boy's eager eyes, Jiang Chen remembered what he was like when he was a child. At that time, he lived in Sang City with the old Taoist priest for three months. He still knew the size and location of this place, but when he thought about his previous experience and this The boy at that time was also similar, and he immediately felt pity.
He sighed, looked at the boy and said, "Okay, just lead the way for me. Take me to a quiet place to stay where no one will disturb me!"
The boy's expression showed joy, he bowed to Jiang Chen and said with a smile, "Yes, sir!"
"If you want to talk about a quiet place, then it is Zhike Villa in this city. As the saying goes, when you return in spring, you will know your guests. Zhike Villa was built after the new city owner arrived ten years ago. It was completed in two years and is now It has been in operation for eight years. With the city lord's palace as the backend, no one in this city has dared to cause trouble in Zhike Villa. Safety can be guaranteed, which is in line with the requirements of the adults. Moreover, Zhike Villa has a beautiful environment and beautiful scenery. It’s a good place to temper your mind, and you will definitely be satisfied.”
The little boy walked a step ahead of Jiang Chen and talked eloquently, introducing the Zhike Villa to him.
Jiang Chen seemed to be extremely satisfied, and said to himself: "Is it true that I have returned home in three springs, how can I know how to be a guest? It's interesting, I can be considered a homecoming in three springs now! But with the conditions of Zhike Villa, there must be a few people who have come to stay. Isn’t this incredible person a bit high-profile?”
Although Jiang Chen had heard of Zhike Villa before, he had never been there. At this moment, he hesitated. The boy saw Jiang Chen's concerns and explained: "Adults, don't worry. Zhike Villa is open to all people with cultivation. There are There are three floors, high school and low, with different prices, which can meet the needs of most monks, so Zhike Villa also has a large number of people with different cultivation levels."
Then the boy took Jiang Chen to rent a car. Dashang had an order that except for the direct royal family from various countries, no one else was allowed to fly in the city. This was to prevent warriors from violating the ban and disrupting the security of the city. Dashang closed all The state also promulgated this order and complied with it.
Sitting on the beast cart in front of him, he could still smell a strange smell from time to time, but the rent for half a spirit stone for three days was really cheap. With his current wealth, he could still afford a more expensive vehicle, but for Low-key, I only chose the most common one.
Before Ji Chengyue left, she gave him a large number of spirit stones, at least a thousand. This cheap senior sister was really nice to him.
Sangcheng is a border town of Ji State, bordering Yu State and Zhou State. Therefore, there are constant trade exchanges. Monks from all over the world will gather in this city. Now this city is under the direct control of the great merchants. Despite the war, this city is not only There is no impact at all, but the purchase of the army makes it even more prosperous.
The reason why Mulberry City is called Mulberry City is because this place is rich in a plant called mulberry wood. It is a material used by warriors to build the foundation for medicinal baths and polish their bodies. It also benefited from the mulberry wood. Mulberry City prospered and prospered. Ten years ago, the new city Since Zhu Ji Chengdian guarded Mulberry City, he has recruited a large number of spiritual planters and pharmacists, vigorously developed the value of extracting mulberry wood, and invented a mulberry wood medicine that is very popular. The best-selling mulberry wood medicine here has been made by businessmen, Zhou, Yu, etc. country, and also accumulated a lot of wealth for Sangcheng.
And Ji Chengdian was able to rely on this large amount of wealth to establish his own power. The guards at the city gate just now were able to make everyone wear talisman armor. It has to be said that Sang Cheng's generosity, this person is really quite capable. In just ten years, he has brought the development of Sangcheng to several levels. He is worthy of being a hero. However, he has failed to live up to the kindness of King Ji in raising him. He was unfaithful to the emperor as a minister and unfilial to his father as a son. Although Jiang Chen secretly admired him in his heart , but I don’t like it at all.
I sat in the car and drove for a long time, and finally arrived at a high mountain in the north of the city. There were caves all over the high mountain, towering green plants, flowers and trees in full bloom, and the mountains that stretched slightly lower than half a head on both sides surrounded the city lord's palace in the distance. , looking from a distance, it looks like a mountain god embracing the city of Mulberry. When the birds are in the sky, they reflect each other and the mountains, and a paradise paradise comes into view.
There was a hall at the foot of the mountain, which was quite quaint. The boy followed Jiang Chen's instructions and went to check in with his identity token. He chose a slightly remote cave on the right side of the mountain. It was full of spiritual energy and suitable for people below the Xiantian realm. The monk moved in. Jiang Chen chose to stay for half a year and spent three hundred spirit stones on him.
"His grandma's is so expensive!" Jiang Chen felt a pain in his body and took his check-in order. He saw that it was crystal clear and had the three characters Chen Chuyang on it. On the other side was the word Zhike. The light was shining continuously. Jiang Chen dropped a drop of blood, and now the token temporarily belonged to him.
Jiang Chen's identity was obtained when he was cheating with the old Taoist priest. He was the identity of a great merchant. His name was Chen Chuyang, which meant that Jiang Chen was the first child adopted by the old Taoist priest, so he was called Chu. Yang, as for Zhou State, Yu State and several other countries passing by, Jiang Chen has status, and he can be regarded as a man of the rivers and lakes.
He walked to the residence with the move-in order. The little boy was not qualified to enter the villa. Jiang Chen ordered him to go back and wait for him here the next morning.
As soon as he entered Zhike Villa, the spiritual energy that hit his face was extremely active, which made the spiritual energy in Jiang Chen's body ready to move. It seemed that the three hundred spiritual stone flowers were not unfair. Such abundant spiritual energy seemed to be suitable for his own cultivation.
Soon he found his residence, and Jiang Chen used the check-in order to open the formation. Naturally, he knew about such advanced things as formation. The old Taoist priest also knew it and taught him a few tricks, but he couldn't do it without the materials. After practicing, this time I saw the formation, I finally had a close contact with it.
I have to say that it is expensive for a reason. Although there is only a small door at the entrance, it feels like a cave after entering. There is a living room, a medicine room, a spiritual animal room, and a secret practice room, all of which are protected by formations. , seems to be built in the mountains. It seems that the city lord's mansion spent a lot of money to build this Zhike Villa.
Although this place is called Zhike Villa, it is different from ordinary villas, which quite satisfies Jiang Chen.
After walking around and checking the layout of the room, Jiang Chen activated his formation, took out the contents of his storage bag, and took stock of his current belongings.
In addition to the spiritual stones and potions given by Ji Chengyue before, the number of them is one thousand three hundred, thirty body refining stage potions, and fifteen qi and blood realm potions. Each one is full of thick With the smell of medicine, Jiang Chen touched the storage bag gently and sighed, debts of gratitude are the hardest to repay.
In addition, he counted his belongings, most of which were left behind by the old Taoist priests, a few sets of clothes, three red talismans, a small green shield that looked a little dull, and was broken into several pieces. There is also a small golden sword. I heard from the old Taoist priest that this is his natal magical weapon. However, his current state of Qi refining stage cannot control this small golden sword, so before, he only had a small green shield for self-defense, and a few cultivation techniques. One of them is called "Fire Flame Technique", and the other is called "Ten Flame Techniques". These two are the exercises he is currently majoring in, which are quite suitable for his spiritual qualifications. There is also one called "Cultivation of Immortality". "Miscellaneous Arts" includes simple methods such as alchemy and weapon refining.
Finally, Jiang Chen took out a wooden-colored bead. It looked gray and ordinary. Jiang Chen held it in his hand and played with it for half a quarter of an hour. After a while, he smashed it on the table impatiently and muttered: "Yeah. I wonder what the old Taoist priest is doing with this broken bead all day long, making him so nervous, and even saying it’s some great opportunity.”
Ever since he could remember, he had seen this bead hanging from the old Taoist priest's waist, but he had never seen it of any use. At first, Jiang Chen thought it was a decoration of the old Taoist priest, but one day Jiang Chen took it out unprepared to play with it. , just now I knew the origin of this bead. Jiang Chen had a deep memory of that day because he was severely beaten by the old Taoist priest.
This bead was obtained by an old Taoist priest when he visited the Kunwu Mountains and explored the secret realm of an ancient qi alchemist. He only knew that something that could be placed in the secret realm must be something extraordinary. However, the qi alchemist has declined and has traveled to various places. It was difficult for Guo Ye to find out the origin of this bead, so he had to put it away carefully. The old Taoist priest would never forget this bead until his death. He asked Jiang Chen to collect it carefully so that one day he could find a way to crack it and accept this opportunity.
