After entering Canglan City, the sounds of various conversations, hawking, and shouts surged towards the two of them, instantly surrounding them.
Ji Liao frowned slightly. He hadn't seen this kind of scene for many years. Maybe it had been quiet for a long time. Now Ji Liao was a little uncomfortable being in such a place again.
The gate they entered corresponded to a wide main road, which was about seven or eight feet wide. On both sides were various gorgeous shops, each with their own signboards hanging on them.
This main road is extremely long and has no end as far as the eye can see, with crowds of people swarming back and forth like ants.
Ji Liao looked left and right, looking at the stalls on the street. Many of them were opened by people from Huangxi. The things on them were the first time Ji Liao had seen them, which made him quite curious.
After looking at him for a while, Ji Liao looked away and said calmly, "Let's go, it's more important to do business."
"Okay!" Lu Zhu responded and quickened his pace, walking all the way towards the west gate of the outer city.
After more than an hour, the two of them finally arrived at the mission location.
The street where Huiyuan's shop is located is not big, only two or three feet wide.
There are far fewer people here, but there are obviously many more Huangxi people wearing gauze skirts, and there are also many more monks who are exuding waves.
They walked for a long time, and finally saw the guise of Huiyuan Store in the dazzling store.
Their eyes lit up and they stepped forward.
The door of Huiyuan Store is not big, and the signboard on it also looks a bit old. It seems that it has been operating in Canglan City for a few years.
A young man wearing a gray cloth robe and a crooked hat, who looked like a shop waiter, was standing at the door of the shop. His eyes were scanning the pedestrians coming and going, as if he was looking for someone.
When he saw Ji Liao and Lu Zhu walking towards him, he was startled for a moment, and his eyes quickly turned. After thinking about it, a slightly complaining expression appeared on his face, and he greeted them. Go up.
"Hey, Tiezhu, Zhang Fan, why are you here? The shopkeeper said that if you don't come, he won't take you to Huangxi this time. You can go wherever you like." The waiter said in Ji Liao'er Standing still in front of the people, he couldn't help but criticize the two of them.
Ji Liao and Lu Zhu were stunned for a moment, and then Ji Liao looked at Lu Zhu beside him.
Lu Zhu stared at the waiter and looked him up and down, pondered for a moment, and then nodded, "I'm sorry for the delay because of something on the road."
After saying that, he sent a message to Ji Liao on the side, "This person is one of the two people in the mission who knows our identity."
Ji Liao nodded slightly and looked the waiter up and down. He saw that the waiter was no more than sixteen or seventeen years old. He had rather handsome eyebrows, red lips and sharp teeth. If it weren't for the clothes he was wearing, you couldn't tell him at all. He's a waiter in a shop.
I scanned his body with my spiritual consciousness and found that he already had the fourth level of Naqi.
Cultivation level, if the current appearance is his true age, then he has such a level of cultivation at this time, which is already very good.
However, there was one thing about the waiter in the shop that made Ji Liao quite dissatisfied, that is, the boy gave them two names as soon as they came in, one of which was called Tiezhu, which he couldn't accept.
"Junior Brother Ji, I feel that the name Tiezhu suits your temperament very well." While Ji Liao was thinking, Lu Zhu's voice sounded in his ears.
Ji Liao raised his eyebrows, glanced at Lu Zhu, then quickly turned around and smiled at the waiter, "I'm sorry for being late. Tie Zhu and I will explain to the shopkeeper in person later."
Lu Zhu's expression suddenly became weird when he heard this, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he secretly thought, "I was careless."
Lu Zhu didn't expect that Ji Liao would speak before him and shamelessly give him the name Tiezhu. But now that the deal was done, he had no choice but to admit that he was unlucky.
"The shopkeeper is waiting for you in the store. Come in quickly." The waiter said and entered the Huiyuan store first.
"Brother Zhang Fan has good tricks." Lu Zhu held his hand towards Ji Liao.
"Brother Tiezhu, please!" Ji Liao made a gesture of invitation.
Then the two of them entered Huiyuan Store together.
This Huiyuan store is not big, and the decoration inside is also very simple. There are two shelves about ten feet high on both sides of the small store.
Ji Liao glanced at the items on the shelves and his expression changed.
The Huiyuan store looks unremarkable on the surface, but there are many kinds of things on the shelves, and there are many high-level magic weapons, as well as extremely precious spiritual materials and spiritual herbs.
"It seems that this Huiyuan store is not as simple as imagined." Ji Liao thought to himself.
Directly opposite the store door was a counter that was half a person tall. On the inside of the counter was a short, fat, middle-aged man with fair skin and wearing a luxurious robe, fiddling with an abacus.
After Ji Liao's spiritual consciousness checked, he discovered that this fat man surprisingly also had the cultivation level of the fifth level of Qi.
"Shopkeeper, Zhang Fan and Tie Zhu are here." The waiter called out to the fat man with a smile on his face.
When the fat man heard this, he stopped moving his hands, and then immediately continued to fiddle with the abacus, ignoring the three of them.
For a moment, the only sound in the whole store was the sound of the fat man fiddling with the abacus.
After about a cup of tea, the fat man stopped his hand and looked up at Ji Liao and Lu Zhu.
"Why are you here so late? The caravan will set off in two days. If your elders hadn't met me and you were such a procrastinator, I would have told you to go back to where you came from. "
"Sorry, I was delayed because of something on the road. I'd like to thank the shopkeeper, Haihan." Lu Zhu stepped forward and said with an apologetic look.
Ji Liao also took a few steps forward and cupped his hands towards the fat man, "My apologies, shopkeeper."
"Yeah." The fat man nodded, then faced
The waiter ordered, "Lu Yan, take them down and load the goods onto the flying boat."
"Yes!" The waiter, known as Lu Yan, nodded, turned to Ji Liao and Lu Zhu and said, "Come with me."
After saying that, he led Ji Liao and the two of them into the back hall of the shop.
Time passed in the blink of an eye, and the dark night enveloped the sky. However, the bustling Canglan City was brightly lit, and the noise on the streets did not diminish at all. Instead, it felt like Canglan City had just woken up.
"Junior Ye Tong, I have met the two seniors." A voice rang out in a dark secret room.
Ji Liao and Lu Zhu were sitting on wooden chairs. On the table beside them were two snow-white teacups filled with steam and filled with tea, as if they were masters.
There was a short, fat man with fair skin in front of them, bowing to the two of them, but he was the shopkeeper of Huiyuan Store.
They were hardly idle this whole day. They had really spent a whole day moving goods with Lu Yan. However, as both of them were immortal cultivators, they didn't feel very tired. However, the amount of goods transported this time really made them feel tired. The two were surprised.
Lu Zhu picked up the tea cup and took a sip, then smiled and said, "Get up, you don't have to be so reserved in front of the two of us."
"Yes..." Ye Tong responded, then stood up and stood in front of them respectfully.
"You must also know our identities. Let me ask you, apart from you and Lu Yan, is there any third person who knows our identities?" Lu Zhu asked.
"No, absolutely not. I have always been in contact with Shendong. Even Lu Yan doesn't know how to contact Shendong. So you two seniors, don't worry. Apart from me and Lu Yan, there is absolutely no third person who knows. .”
"Well, that's good. By the way, I saw that there are other clerks in your shop, and they all seem to be well-educated. Why is that?" Lu Zhu nodded and asked Ye Tong again.
"Senior, I don't know. Canglan City is two million miles away from Badie City in the Wild West. We have to stay on the road for a long time. Ordinary mortals simply can't bear the fatigue of traveling." Ye Tong explained with a smile.
Ji Liao was thoughtful after hearing this, and then said calmly, "We know nothing about Badie City, please tell us."
"Yes!" Ye Tong responded, paused and continued, "Badie City is nearly two million miles away from Canglan City. The city is quite rich and there are many monks living there. In Badie City There is a sect of cultivating immortals in the Wild West more than a hundred miles away, called the Fire Bird Sect, and it is that sect that the two seniors want to monitor this time."
Ji Liao nodded, "So, Badie City is a city where immortals and mortals coexist?"
"The Wild West is barren, so the people of the Wild West are extremely united. The boundary between immortals and mortals is not as clear as our Shendong. There is no distinction between superior and inferior." Ye Tong replied honestly.
"So that's it, then if we go two million miles deep into the Wild West, can we be considered as entering the hinterland of the Wild West? Then there are still other things around
Are there other cities or sects? Lu Zhu asked with a raised brow.
"No, the nearest city to Badie City is at least more than a thousand miles away. As for the sects with a radius of tens of thousands of miles, there is only one sect, the Fire Bird Sect."
Ye Tong has been coming and going in Badie City for many years, and he has a clear understanding of the situation in Badie City, so now, when Ji Liao and Lu Zhu are asking questions, Ye Tong can answer them fluently without thinking.
"Why is this? Why are the two cities so far apart?" Lu Zhu frowned when he heard this and asked in confusion.
"Seniors still don't know how the people of Huangxi survive. Due to the existence of the sea of lava and fire in the Huangxi area, it is shrouded in rich spiritual power of fire all year round. The entire Huangxi area is in a dry and hot environment all year round, so the Huangxi area Most of the territory consists of large stretches of sand dunes and deserts, which are not suitable for human survival, and the cities built in the Wild West are all built around the precious oases and water sources in the desert, and they are not done randomly." Ye Tong replied. .
"I see. By the way, the two places are so far apart. Are there any dangers on the road?"
Author: I originally thought that I would resume two updates a day in the past few days, because I have almost opened up a little distance between manuscripts. Unexpectedly, a child at home suddenly coughed and caught a cold, and then infected it to me. I was so dizzy that I couldn't write at all. Yesterday I tried to write some, but I deleted them all again this morning, eh~~~ I hope you can forgive me, I’ll give it a try in a few days.
