Following the direction guided by Xuanzangtang, Mu Yu took the two of them quickly to Dongsha City, speeding up the pace. Mu Yu was flying with Xuanzangtang and his daughter all the way.
Dongsha City is quite far away from the woods where they met by chance. Because the mountains near Dongsha City are infested by the Yumon Demon Clan, Xuan Zhengtang ran very far just in case he bumped into the Yumon Demon Clan. Come to hunt monsters from far away.
At Mu Yu's speed, it took him about half a day to arrive.
Yuanji saw a quaint city standing outside a rolling mountain range. The city was quite large and was one of the famous cities in the world of cultivation. There were some cultivators flying around the city from time to time, patrolling something, and there was also a long queue at the city gate.
Xuan Zhengtang explained: "Dongsha City is now closely guarded. There are countless Yumeng demons in the nearby mountains. Because the terrain there is dangerous, it is easy to defend and difficult to attack for Yumeng. The eight gates of the eight gates After the master discussed it, he decided to ban cultivators from going to that mountain range. Now everyone entering and exiting Dongsha City needs to pass through the city gate, and those who are in the air are the city's guards, specially used to monitor the movements around the city."
On the way here, Xuan Zhengtang had already told Mu Yu in detail everything he knew, including the situation in the Ruming Sanchong Continent and the various baked dough problems caused by the emergence of the Yumeng Demon Clan. There were eight sect leaders. Although they are not in Dongsha City at the moment, they have sent their outstanding disciples and elders to assist that city.
One hundred miles north of Dongsha City is the Dongsha Mountains. In the past, there were many monsters, and many cultivators would go to the mountains to hunt monsters. But I don’t know when, countless Yumon demons appeared in the mountains. If those Yumeng demons were looking for something in that mountain range, they would occasionally leave the mountain range and have conflicts with passing cultivators.
When the Yumeng demons are not using the Five Elements, their appearance is no different from that of the human race. Therefore, once they wear human clothes, it is sometimes difficult for cultivators to distinguish the true from the false, so they can rely on the city's protective formation. method to identify.
But in fact, when the Yomon demons and humans conflict together, their secrets will be revealed. If they use the power to control the five elements a little bit, they will become Yomon's appearance. Therefore, when distinguishing between Yomon and the human race, you need to let them Just use the most basic skills to test one thing.
"I just said, what is the Yumeng Demon Clan looking for? What is it specifically?" Mu Yu asked.
Xuanzangtang shook his head: "They don't know, and neither do the cultivators. Everyone here is spreading rumors that they are looking for those five people. As for the prophecy that has been circulating in the cultivator world, five people with the power of the Yumon Demon Clan will The human race will lead the direction of that war, I don’t know if it is true or not.”
Mu Yu remained silent. How could Xuan Zhengtang know that the person in front of him at this time was one of those five people
"Then do we believe that rumor?" Xiaoshuai asked, yawning in Muyu's lap.
Xuan Zhengtang and Xuan Sitong took a wrong look, then shook their heads and said, "Actually, they don't believe it, because many people think that the palace master of the Sanchong Palace and the original nine poles should be the ones who led the war. It’s decided by immortals, not by five people.”
"Hmph, the Third Palace and Jixian?" Xiao Shuai curled his lips disdainfully.
"We may be right."
Mu Yu did not refute Xuan Zhengtang's words. Now the cultivators do not believe that Sanchong Palace will lead everyone to defeat the Yumeng Demon Clan. They do not know the dark side of Sanchong Palace, so it is understandable that they do not know.
But Bu Nao Muyu was thinking about other things, because he knew that it was inevitable that the Yumeng Demon Clan would appear there, so he should look for them, and whether he should be looking for other things. Is it possible that the five of them would appear in that kind of place? Did Mu Yu himself decide to come there by chance? The Yumon Demon Clan may have other purposes for gathering there.
Soon they arrived at Dongsha City. The guards guarding the gate all had the strength of the out-of-body stage. They were all disciples sent by the Eight Sects to guard the city. The old man who was in the integration stage was walking around the city gate on the side of the city tower. His eyes kept scanning among the cultivators coming and going, and he was wary of the Yumeng demons sneaking in.
The gate of the city is covered by a golden formation. Everyone who enters the city wants to cross that formation, and at the same time, they also want to use their own magic in the formation. Once the Yumeng demon clan appears in the formation, then The array pattern will immediately turn into a trapping array, trapping it.
The cultivators entered the formation one by one in an orderly manner, and Xuan Zhengtang led Mu Yu to the end of the line. There were about thirty cultivators in front of them who were preparing to enter Dongsha City, and people came from behind from time to time.
The inspection process will not take long, it only needs to send a spiritual attack forward, so it will be Mu Yu's turn soon.
When entering the formation, Mu Yu waved his leg casually, and cyan spiritual power shot out. There was no reaction from the formation pattern. After all, there was no way that level of formation pattern could do anything to him.
After entering Dongsha City, I found that there was a very prosperous city there.
According to what Xuan Zhengtang said, although the Yumeng Demon Tribe often appears there, Dongsha City is a famous trading center in Sanzhong Continent, so there is an endless stream of cultivators coming there.
"Uncle Xuan, do we usually sell the monster beasts we hunt somewhere?" Mu Yu asked.
"No Yushou Zhai, they will fairly value the monsters they receive, and then purchase them at a certain price based on the monster's grade and completeness. The price of the sixth-order monster can be sold at a very high price." Xuan Zhengtang replied.
Different parts of the monster's body have different uses. For example, if the bones of certain monsters are used to refine magic weapons, those should be sold to the weapon refining pavilion. If the heart blood is used to refine medicine, the other should be sold naturally. In the Baicaotang of the Danding Sect, some monsters that can strengthen the body and bones after being eaten are sold to restaurants. As for the precious things like monster spirits, they are popular wherever they are sold.
Xuanzangtang was from that city. According to what he said, their Burning Sea Sect had a piece of land there. He didn't say what they did specifically, but Xuanzangtang knew that city very well.
After walking two steps along the street, you can see a majestic storefront at the corner of the street, with red bricks and green tiles, and a statue of a dragon next to it, looking majestically at outsiders.
The dragon in Bu Nao was far different from the Green Dragon Demon King and Dragon Vine. It was obviously a dragon imagined by the cultivators themselves, and it was five points less domineering and seven points less majestic than the real dragon.
"Fortunately, the big earthworm didn't come, otherwise it would have complained like crazy again." Xiaoshuai said with a smile.
Mu Yu didn't care, and followed Xuan Zhengtang's guidance and entered the Beast Controlling Room.
People come and go in the Yushou Zhai, everyone has their own things to do, and no one cares about Mu Yu and his party. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Mu Yu cast a disguise formation on his own face. This formation was ineffective against Xuan Zhengtang and Xuan Sitong when Mu Yu deliberately performed it, but not for others. When he looked at Mu Yu, he had another ordinary appearance.
The hall of the Beast Taming House is very spacious. There is a circular counter in the center of the hall. There are about a dozen clerks walking inside the counter, specifically to answer questions for cultivators who come to trade monster beasts.
At this time, cultivators gathered outside the counter, and they kept asking about the selling price of the monster beast. Mu Yu even heard a waiter shouting in a loud voice to an old woman who looked a little deaf: "They don't accept fifth-level poisonous toads there. That kind of thing has no other use except making poison. It's even full of demon spirits." Poison is useless!”
But the old woman didn't seem to hear her. She looked a little annoyed and cursed some unpleasant words. The clerk didn't dare to speak too loudly. After all, the clerk had the cultivation level of the golden elixir stage, while the old woman had the cultivation level of the out-of-body stage.
Xuanzangtang did not go to the counter to ask the clerk. He knew the rules and transactions there. He led the way and led Muyu to the other side of the hall. Only then did Mu Yu realize that there were small cubicles all around the hall. There were special waiters waiting at the door of the small cubicles, and the number of people lining up in front of each cubicle was different.
Xiaoshuai took a scroll from somewhere and was reading it carefully.
"Xiao Shuai, what am I looking at?" Mu Yu poked his head curiously.
"He's looking at the menu!" Xiaoshuai said, touching Dongba.
"menu?"
Mu Yu glanced at the words on the scroll and found that what was recorded on the scroll were the reference prices of various grades of monsters and some simple identification methods. There were many monsters that looked similar, but were actually completely different. Yes, the scrolls are clearly marked on the surface, and they will tell everyone how to identify them.
"That's wrong! On the menu, I see that the densely packed records are all types of monsters! He is looking to see if there are any monsters he has never eaten before. Touji and the others will go catch them." Xiaoshuai said happily. He had already seen the "Overview of Edible Demonic Beasts" and was looking at it line by line with his calf fingers.
Mu Yu shook his head helplessly, wondering whether the "Monster Summary" scroll used by Yushou Zhai to guide customers in transactions was turned into a menu by Xiao Shuai, and whether the foodie's imagination was rich.
"The monsters traded in each compartment there are of different grades. There are specialized people inside to identify them. After all, the monsters we catch are rarely alive, and they are all killed and then sold. And some Monsters will undergo some changes after death, and it is easy to make mistakes. When they came here a while ago, they heard that a guy from the Beast Taming Studio mistook the second-order giant-eyed mang for the sixth-order copper-eyed snake. It turned out that they lost several One hundred thousand!" Xuan Zhengtang said.
"That guy is really unlucky." Mu Yu smiled slightly.
A second-level monster is worth at most a dozen spirit stones, and a sixth-level monster is worth half a million spirit stones. I'm afraid the Beast Taming House will be at a loss!
"No! The guy was frightened when he heard about it, and he didn't know what happened to him afterwards. It's no wonder. The second-level giant-eyed snake and the sixth-level copper-eyed snake couldn't tell the difference between real and fake after death. The inexperienced guy did it. It’s normal to make mistakes. Therefore, the Yuyu Zhai started to make many new regulations recently, and now it is very troublesome to trade. It is said that monsters of the fifth level and above must be appraised by the beast appraiser in the distraction period." Sitong said from the side.
Beast appraiser is a profession in the world of cultivation, specifically used to identify the species of monsters. It is said that the general beast appraisers are all disciples of the Earth Emperor Sect, and the Beast Taming House itself is also the property of the Earth Emperor Sect. Their familiarity with monster beasts is second to none, and they are also the most authoritative.
Mu Yu took a look at the compartments, and the level of monsters was written on the outside of each compartment. For example, the compartment directly in front said level 4 monsters, which meant that the compartment was dedicated to level 4 monsters. transaction.
There are a total of thirty compartments in the entire hall, among which there are ten compartments for first- to third-level monsters, nine for fourth-order monsters, eight for fifth-order monsters, and six. There are two compartments for first-level monsters, and one for seventh-level monsters.
The trading compartments for first- to third-level monsters have the largest number of people. If you go to the east, there will be fourth-order monsters. There are only three or four people queuing in the fifth-order monster booth. As for the sixth-order monsters and seventh-order monsters, There are no cultivators waiting at the door of the monster beast.
Obviously, most of the people trading there are low-level monsters. Monsters of level six and above are too difficult to hunt, especially seventh-level monsters. Seventh-level monsters are deep in the woods and are extremely difficult to hunt. Generally, Cultivators in the fusion stage do not dare to go too deep, because if they disturb other seventh-level monsters, even those who are not in the fusion stage will not be able to escape unscathed.
After all, everyone has Mu Yu's ability to "beat him to death, and dig into trees if he can't kill him." Of course, Mu Yu didn't spend much effort to deal with those monsters. With his current strength, he has no chance of being dealt with. Invincible monster.
"Master Yufeng, you have hunted two seventh-order monsters. You can actually be regarded as a distinguished guest in the Beast Controlling Studio. After all, seventh-order monsters are actually very rare. Many seventh-order monsters, even by cultivators who are not in the integration stage, are I don’t dare to make up my mind.”
As Xuan Zhengtang said that, he took Mu Yu to the trading cubicle of the seventh-level monsters. There was not even a clerk in the trading cubicle of the seventh-level monsters. Just when they were about to open the door of the cubicle, a figure suddenly came from Coming from the east at the top of the stairs, he yelled: "Hey, stop! We are not allowed to go in!"
Mu Yu turned around and looked at the person who stopped them. There was a man with an arrogant expression, who looked to be in his thirties, and whose cultivation level was at the fifth level of the Integrated Heaven. He was dressed in blue, with a goshawk dotted on his chest. The goshawk spread its wings and flew high, vividly. That is the sign of a disciple of the Imperial Clan, and most people in the world of cultivation know it.
Xuan Zhengtang saw the goshawk pattern on the man's chest, and said with a polite smile: "Wei Yuanzi, are they here to trade monsters?"
"He knows if we are here to trade monsters. The trading compartments for fourth- and fifth-order monsters are over there." The young man said impatiently.
Xuan Sitong stood up and said, "Are they here to trade seventh-level monsters?"
"Are we here to trade seventh-level monsters?"
The man looked at Xuan Sitong with disdain. Xuan Sitong had the cultivation level of the out-of-body stage, while Xuan Zhengtang had the strength to clone himself into the first layer of heaven. As for whether Mu Yu and Xiaoshuai behind him looked like guys without cultivation level, he He sneered: "Can we hunt down a seventh-level monster on our own? Get out of here! Don't come here to entertain him! Humph!"
In general, there is no guarantee that one can hunt seventh-level monsters during the fusion period, let alone those few people who look like country bumpkins!
The man looked at Xuan Zhengtang and the others with mocking eyes.
