Half a month later, Ji Liao's body appeared on a forest path. He was walking leisurely, as if he was visiting the mountain scenery.

Not long after, the forest path led to a wide official road. The official road was bustling with traffic, traders and pawns, and it was extremely lively with people coming and going.

After walking another long distance, a huge city appeared at the end of the official road.

"This is Tianqian City."

Tianqian City is a city on the edge of Xianbei. Although it belongs to Fengyong Kingdom's sphere of influence, it is independent of Xianbei.

The two thousand-mile natural chasm between Xianbei and Shendong is not about length, but width.

Its length spans the entire Fanyun Continent and is impossible to estimate.

The sky chasm is like a huge crack in the ground that stretches across the sky and the earth. It is like a giant who created the world and carved it out of the ground with a giant axe.

At the same time, some people speculate that this world is actually two worlds spliced ​​together, and the evidence is also the endless chasm.

Ji Liao walked to the city gate, looked up, and saw three large characters "Tianqian City" carved on the majestic city wall.

Several groups of soldiers in armor stood on both sides of the city gate with weapons in hand, looking majestic and majestic. They were even more arrogant than the soldiers in the Imperial City of Feng Yong Kingdom.

Ji Liao just glanced at them casually and then walked in with the flow of people.

At this time, a young man wearing ordinary clothes, holding a dark disk, was staring at the pedestrians entering the city inside the city gate.

When Ji Liao passed by him, the array disk in his hand flashed several times.

The young man's eyes lit up and he looked at Ji Liao. Then a bright smile appeared on his face and he hurriedly ran to Ji Liao's side. "I wonder if this is your first time to Tianqian City, Master Immortal?"

Ji Liao stopped, slightly surprised, and looked at the young man up and down. When he saw the disc in his hand, he immediately understood why this mortal with no spiritual power fluctuations knew that he was an immortal cultivator.

Ji Liao frowned slightly, with a displeased look on his face.

When the young man saw Ji Liao's expression, he was not afraid, but his eyes shone brightly. At that time, he understood that Ji Liao must be a monk who came to Tianqian City for the first time.

"Master Immortal, don't be surprised. My name is Bai Ning. I am a native of Tianqian City. I have lived in Tianqian City for more than 20 years now. I don't dare to know everything about Tianqian City, but I also dare to say that Xiao I understand it 70-80%.”

"Oh?" Ji Liao looked at the young man who called himself Bai Ning again.

"Master Immortal doesn't know something. The distance between the north and the south of Tianchen City is more than fifty miles. There are usually many strangers coming here. Many locals of Tianchen City will wait at the city gate to prepare for the first time visitors. If you don’t believe me, you can be a guide.” After speaking, Bai Ning pointed with his finger.

Ji Liao nodded. As Bai Ning said, there were indeed many people inside the city gate watching the pedestrians entering the city, and from time to time, some people would come up to chat with them.

"People like us have seen too many people, so just by looking at the expression on someone's face when they enter the city, we can usually guess whether it is the first time that person has entered the city." Bai Ning explained.

"Well, but I don't think they have the magic weapon you have in their hands." Ji Liao asked.

"Hehehe, Master Immortal doesn't know something. There is a senior in my ancestor who was once an immortal cultivator. This thing was left by that senior."

"I see." Ji Liao thought for a moment and then said, "Okay, if that's the case, just follow me. The benefits will be yours."

"Hey, okay." Bai Ning responded excitedly.

The two walked slowly on the street, and Ji Liao learned many things about Tianqian City from Bai Ning's mouth.

This Tianqian City is more than fifty miles long from north to south. It is a truly huge city. One mile out of the south gate, you can see the two thousand-mile Tianqian City. There are usually many visitors. In the entire Xianbei realm, there is only Tianqian City here. The distance to Shendong is the shortest. If you leave Tianqian City, most other places are more than 3,000 miles away. The city lord has a passenger boat that crosses Tianqian. It departs every two years and the journey is about one months time.

"I see that you are not too surprised when you see people cultivating immortals, but they are a little different from the mortals in other cities. Why is this?" Ji Liao asked strangely.

Bai Ning chuckled and replied, "Tianqian City connects the two places. Only a small part of the business travels by boat, and most of them are immortal cultivators like you who travel between the two places."

Ji Liao nodded slightly, "I wonder how long it will be before the biennial passenger ship sets off?"

"Master Immortal, it turns out you are going to the territory of Shendong. What a coincidence! The passenger boat will leave in ten days." Bai Ning replied.

"Oh? So fast? How much does it cost to take a passenger boat?"

"An ordinary ferry ticket costs 300,000 taels of silver or one low-grade spiritual stone. If you want to be more comfortable on the way, you can take a high-class cabin with five low-grade spiritual stones or 1.5 million taels of silver! But you have to go to the city lord's palace in advance Deacon Hall, just buy tickets in advance.”

"Why is it so cheap?" Ji Liao asked suspiciously

"Master Immortal doesn't know something. This passenger boat is huge, about one hundred feet high and three hundred feet long. There are thousands of cabins that can be taken. The more people there are, the cheaper the price will be!"

"Oh." Ji Liao understood.

"By the way, since ordinary monks can't cross the natural chasm, how can the city lord's palace have such a passenger boat that can carry thousands of people?" Ji Liao was a little confused. Since there is a place that even immortal cultivators can't pass, this ordinary mortal city It's really incredible that there is a passenger boat that can cross the natural chasm.

When Bai Ning heard this, a look of reverence instantly appeared on his face, and he said proudly, "City Lord Wei of Tianqian City was once an inner disciple of Wanxuan Sect. Now he is in the middle stage of foundation building. The palace supports The five of them are all worshipers in the foundation building period, and this guest boat is a magical weapon refined by the Lord of Wei City, Tuo Wanxuanmen."

"Foundation Building Stage!" Ji Liao took a breath. Unexpectedly, the city lord of Tianqian City was actually a monk in the Foundation Building Stage. No wonder he controlled such a large city.

After thinking about the many doubts in his mind, he naturally understood that there were many monks in Tianqian City and the order was so well-organized. It seemed that it was because of the suppression by the city lord in the foundation building period that those cultivators did not dare to make mistakes.

At the same time, I also learned that Tianqian City is hundreds of thousands of miles away from Wanxuanmen, but it is still within Wanxuanmen’s sphere of influence. It seems that the Wei City Lord is still a disciple of Wanxuanmen. He is sitting in this city and is just giving Wanxuanmen just collects resources.

All you want to know is that Ji Liao has no interest in other things in the city, so he simply told Bai Ning, "Take me to the inn."

Bai Ning was slightly stunned and asked, "Master Immortal, why don't you go to Tianqian to take a look?"

"not going."

"yes!"

Bai Ning responded and led Ji Liao towards a street.

Not long after, Ji and Liao appeared in front of an extremely grand inn.

The waiter in front of the door rolled his eyes when he saw the guest brought by Bai Ning, and immediately said happily, "Please come in, sir."

"Sir, you are discerning. The food and accommodation provided by our shop are among the best in Tianqian City."

Ji Liao smiled slightly and said nothing.

The waiter asked again, "I wonder how long your guest will stay?"

"Ten days."

"Now that the passenger boat is about to leave, the hotel's guest rooms are really tight. There are still more than a dozen empty guest rooms, and there are not many ordinary guest rooms left!"

"Get me a room that's quieter."

"Okay, our store occupies a large area. The upper room has an independent courtyard. It is absolutely quiet. I guarantee your satisfaction."

While he was talking, the waiter had already led Ji Liao and the two of them through the front hall and to a backyard. After going around a few turns, they stopped at the entrance of a small courtyard.

This small courtyard has a wall that is about as high as a person, and the area inside is about an acre. It is mostly paved with bluestone and looks gorgeous. The small courtyard is connected to other courtyards, but this is an inn, so it is very good to have such an environment. .

Ji Liao nodded with satisfaction and patted the storage bag on his waist. Two ingots of silver appeared in his hand. Ji Liao handed them to the waiter casually.

The waiter's eyes lit up and he hurriedly took it and said excitedly, "Thank you for watching!"

"Go down." Ji Liao said calmly.

"Yes Yes!"

The waiter also bowed his hand to Bai Ning. It was obvious that he was grateful to Bai Ning for bringing this guest here, so that he could get such a big reward.

Bai Ning smiled at him, but he was also very excited. The Immortal Master in front of him was so generous, so the reward he would get in that moment would not be less than him!

"You come with me."

"yes!"

Ji Liao took Bai Ning into the courtyard, opened the door and walked in.

The house was not big, but it had everything needed and it was kept clean. Ji Liao was quite satisfied.

Ji Liao casually sat down at a table in the room, patted the storage bag on his waist, and four ingots of fifty taels of silver appeared on the table.

"I won't go buy the ferry tickets. I'll leave this matter to you. You can keep the money first. I will reward you when you deliver the tickets!"

Then he tapped the storage bag again, and several banknotes appeared in his hand, which was exactly 1.5 million taels.

"I saw a bank affiliated to Feng Yong Kingdom on the way here. This banknote is a universal bank note in Feng Yong Kingdom. It can be exchanged at any bank affiliated to Feng Yong Kingdom. You can take the banknote. What grade of ticket do you want to buy? You already understand, but my ugly words are ahead. If you mess up the matter, you know the consequences of lying to us cultivators." Ji Liao said with a smile, but his tone made Bai Ning's spine shiver.

Bai Ning has met so many people that he can be regarded as an expert. He knows that the age of an immortal cultivator cannot be judged by his appearance. He can tell from the behavior and tone of the immortal cultivator in front of him that this honest young cultivator looks like a simple and honest young man. , what is hidden inside is definitely a ruthless master.

He hurriedly bowed and said, "I don't dare, I don't dare."

"Yes! Go down." Ji Liao waved to Bai Ning.

Bai Ning responded, carefully stuffed the banknote into his arms, and walked out.

Ji Liao spent more than one million taels of silver in the blink of an eye without blinking an eyelid. In the mortal world, this amount of money was a huge sum of money, but here in Ji Liao's case, it was just ordinary waste paper.

Now he was still worried about how to spend the money. Since he had so much money now, why not make himself live more comfortably in a month? Without hesitation, he spent 1.5 million taels of silver to buy A premium cabin ticket!
