A Record of a Mortal’s Journey to Immortality

Chapter 1273: Anyuan City

Views:

Han Li leaned against the side of the carriage and sat opposite the four women, so he naturally noticed the unsafe faces of the women.

He had already scanned the grass outside the carriage countless times, but everything was as usual, there was nothing unusual, it just looked like ordinary grass.

Han Li was a little strange, but his face didn't show any abnormality, and he didn't say anything. After all, he didn't know much about the spiritual world, so he didn't want to make himself appear too suspicious.

But in the past few days, the four daughters have been kind to him, especially the red-shirted girl named Quan'er whom he rescued, and "Brother Han" is very enthusiastic about him.

Han Li was a little uncomfortable with it, but fortunately, since this girl is so young, it's inconvenient to be too indifferent to her. Therefore, during this period of time, I had a lot of conversations with this Quan'er.

He didn't blatantly inquire about the spiritual world, and objected to Tiandong Company's inquiry and found out a lot of things.

Through conversation, he found out that the "Madam" they were talking about was actually the person in charge of a party in more than a dozen cities of the Tiandong Company, or a daughter-in-law of the owner of the Tiandong Company, and most people would respectfully call her "Mrs. Fang".

The owner of Tiandong Company has three sons, and this daughter-in-law is the wife of his second son Ming Mei. The husband and wife have always been very affectionate, but the husband died in an accident more than 20 years ago. Only two young heirs, a man and a woman, were left behind, so the affairs that should have been presided over by the couple were all presided over by this Mrs. Fang.

And the four of them are the four personal maids adopted by this madam since she was a child. They are very fond of this madam, and they are somewhat half-female and half-handmaid.

This time, Mrs. Fang will come to remote places like Anyuan City in person. Part of it is because Anyuan City paid a high price to buy the goods, and the other half is the person who was found out of her spiritual root since she was a child. The youngest son of a certain sect of cultivating immortals was also in Anyuan City, and he sent a message. It seems that there is something that Mrs. Fang needs to help.

Mrs. Fang's heart was attached to her son, so she not only went out in person, but also left the convoy not long after she set off, and led her to Anyuan City first.

In this Mrs. Fang's mind, the convoy not only has so many people, but also has several immortal cultivators in charge, so under normal circumstances, nothing will happen.

Unexpectedly, a low-level bug monster and a snake monster came out in the Qingluo Desert, and something went wrong.

When Han Li heard this, he couldn't help but insinuate about the origin of the owner of the Tiandong Company.

After all, having such a large fortune seems impossible for ordinary people to do. As a result, Han Li was taken aback by the information he heard.

The owner of the shop was actually a mortal, and also a powerless person, neither spiritual root nor practiced any alchemy. How can such a mortal manage such a big business

Han Li was puzzled, and asked vaguely, but the girl in red was also confused, as if she didn't understand much.

Seeing this, Han Li didn't ask any further questions. He changed the subject and put this in his heart.

As a result, although Han Li understood some things these days, more doubts arose in his heart, which made him feel a little depressed.

This grassland seems to be much wider than the Qingluo Desert. The convoy has been driving for a full month, but it still doesn't look like it's going out.

During this period, the guards and the knights in the convoy not only worked cautiously and cautiously, but even the few immortal cultivators who had stayed in the car would fly out of the turtle car every once in a while, They took turns hovering in the air on guard.

These so-called "Yuanshan" monks also looked dignified, and they also didn't dare to be careless.

Although everyone was so close to the enemy, the convoy finally left this area after driving on the grassland for half a month, and an ordinary hilly area appeared in front of it.

The tense nerves of the team members instantly relaxed. Not only did the monks return to the car, but the guards immediately returned to their original jokes.

Even the girls in Han Li's carriage also let out a long breath the moment they left the grassland.

The green-shirted girl even patted her breasts lightly, and said with a coquettish smile: "At least I haven't disturbed the wolves on the grassland here. Although it's not the first time I've been to the grassland, I'm always worried to death."

"It's not just sister Xiang'er who is afraid, who in the whole convoy is not working hard, for fear of bad luck, if we encounter some pack of wolves before the "beast tide", we will wake up. It's bad luck, and it's a dead end on the grassland. Although this kind of thing is not common, some businesses will encounter it every year." Liu'er sighed, and said with some fear.

"No, I heard that this time Anyuan City ordered so many weapons and a hundred sets of rare "spiritual tools" from our Tiandong Company at a huge expense, just to deal with the beast tide." Quan'er tilted his head. , seems to think of something to say.

"That's strange. Although Anyuan City is not big, it is not a newly built city. How could it suddenly order so many equipment from us. It seems that only those cities above the middle level will have so many spiritual tools. You're willing to spend such a large amount of money." The white-clothed girl was a little strange.

"What's so strange about this? I guess it's either that a group of overly powerful beasts suddenly migrated nearby, or that this city encountered a "big beast tide" once in a thousand years, and it will face a joint attack from all the nearby beast groups. Naturally, it cannot be easily resisted. "The blue-shirted girl shook her head and said indifferently.

"That's right, maybe it's true, or sister Liu'er is right." Quan'er pursed her lips and smiled.

Han Li sat cross-legged on the chair, looking like he was meditating while adjusting his breath, but he could hear the conversation of the girls clearly in his ears. When he heard the words "beast tide", his eyebrows twitched slightly.

He suddenly thought of it. When he was in the Qingluo Desert, Zhang Kui, the scar-faced man, once mentioned the "scorpion tide". Could there be any relationship between the two

But in the following time, the four girls didn't say any more about this matter, instead talking about other things. Although Han Li had some regrets in his heart, he continued to practice the Vajra Jue mental method on his own, slowly recuperating his meridians.

After this period of rest, coupled with the indestructible effect of the wood bead, his meridians repaired much faster than originally expected. Now most of his body is fine, as long as he continues to rest for half a month, there will be no problem at all.

In this case, with his fourth-level Vajra Art and his familiarity with various middle and low-level spells of monks, he may have the upper hand against monks in the late stage of foundation establishment. As for the alchemy cultivator, he will only know if he fights one side himself.

Of course, the supernatural powers of monks of all ranks in the spiritual world and human world monks are not much different, and there are no other unexpected supernatural powers.

Once out of the prairie, the convoy only drove for two days before arriving at the destination of the trip, a stone city that looked extraordinary.

Looking from a distance through the car window, the city wall of Shicheng is more than 30 feet high, and there are small towers of 10 feet high every 100 feet, which makes Shicheng look extremely majestic. Looking to both sides, I can only see the white city wall stretching as far as the eye can see, and I don't know how far it extends.

And on such a tall city wall, there are actually some unknown and exquisite patterns engraved on it, like a strange rune that has never been seen before, which makes the city a bit more mysterious for no reason!

Seeing this, Han Li was a little speechless.

No matter how you look at it, this city cannot be associated with a small city. Such a tall city, even the so-called "giant cities" in the human world are far from being comparable.

However, Han Li noticed at the same time that on top of these tall city walls, there were some tall soldiers wearing uniform iron armor, patrolling back and forth on the walls, and there was also a huge crossbow with an astonishing size erected on top of all the towers. With metal crossbow arrows.

Each one is three or four feet long, extremely sharp, and flashes a faint white light, which seems to be a low-level magic weapon.

Such an astonishing sharp weapon, if it is really a magical weapon, I am afraid that even a monk in the foundation establishment period will lose half of his life if he is hit.

Han Li looked at all this with his eyes narrowed, and while he was thinking about it, the convoy had already arrived at the city gate.

There was no one outside the city gate, a black gate had already been tightly closed, and a large number of soldiers gathered on the gate, looking down at the convoy with vigilance on their faces.

As soon as Zhang Kui urged the giant wolf to sit down and arrived in front of the convoy, he raised his hand without saying a word, and threw something directly on the city gate.

It was actually a golden token.

There was a commotion at the city gate, and immediately a middle-aged man wearing a silver battle armor picked up the token and looked at it carefully, then turned his head to look at the long motorcade below, and suddenly spoke Give an order: "Open the city gate and check the convoy. They are from Tiandong Company."

Hearing the middle-aged man's words, the nearby soldiers suddenly became enlightened, and immediately some people ran down to the top of the city to open the gate.

After a while, the door that seemed to be made of fine steel slowly opened, and dozens of heavily armed soldiers ran out from inside, arranged in two rows.

The silver-armored middle-aged man came out at last, and walked up to Zhang Kui who was riding a giant wolf, looked at him vigilantly, and then asked slowly: "Your Excellency is the leader of Tiandong Company

"Next to Zhang Kui, I think your Excellency has received the order from the owner of your city. The following is the goods that your city ordered from our company." Zhang Kui replied calmly.

"I have received an order. But now is a special period. You must let a few immortal cultivators inspect your convoy before you can let it go." The middle-aged man in silver armor said bluntly.

"It's because I'm afraid that some monsters will sneak in. It's no problem. Just check it, Your Excellency." Hearing this request, Zhang Kui agreed without any hesitation.

"Okay, Mr. Li, Master Huang! Please check it out, both of you." The middle-aged man in silver armor nodded in satisfaction, turned his head, and greeted in the direction of the city gate.
