Watching the charming woman's body disappear, Chen Lin's face turned very ugly.
Based on his knowledge, he speculated that this way of leaving was either the incarnation of some powerful being, or a strange existence that came from another world. If he was remembered by such a person, he would probably never have peace in the future.
He did not dare to act rashly, but stood there on guard for a long time. After confirming that the woman had really left, he looked around the battlefield.
First, he collected the storage bags of the ugly Yuanying and the two Jindan cultivators, burned and buried their bodies, and then came to the few people who fell from the black cloud after the charming woman left.
After checking, he found that the four people were still alive, so he released the spirit boat and took them away from Yixianxia.
"Thank you for saving my life, senior!"
Thousands of miles outside the canyon, the old man surnamed Hu and others bowed and expressed their gratitude.
At this moment, if they still couldn't guess that Chen Lin was hiding his cultivation level, they would be stupid.
"Nothing, I just want to protect myself. You guys can go to Shayu City on your own. I have other things to do, so I won't go there."
Chen Lin waved his hands and spoke expressionlessly.
There was a high possibility that he would be targeted by that charming woman, so he did not want to stay in Shayu City. He wanted to speed up his journey and head straight for the next super city, Liangyi City!
This city is the largest city in the southern part of the continent and is managed by the super-large sect Liangyi Sect. It is rumored that there are two ninth-level Daoyun masters and nearly twenty other powerful refining masters. It is one of the top five powerful forces in Tianfang Continent.
In such a city, even if the witch is a powerful Taoist, he would not dare to enter easily. He can stay there for a while and wait until the other party has forgotten him before continuing on his way.
As for whether the other party is a powerful Hedao master, I think he should not be. Hedao masters are rare, and his clone cannot be so weak.
Seeing that Chen Lin had an attitude of keeping people at a distance, the four old men surnamed Hu wanted to invite Chen Lin to continue to Shayu City to avoid encountering danger on the way, but they did not dare to speak.
"Thanks to the senior's generosity, we are able to survive. I have no way to repay you, so I can only double the reward I promised you. I hope you won't mind."
The man in charge of the business walked forward and respectfully handed Chen Lin a storage bag.
Chen Lin took it and looked at it, his brows twitched slightly.
"Okay, since you guys are so willing, I'll accept it."
There were thirty spirit crystals in the storage bag. One can never have too much of this kind of thing, so he gladly accepted them.
Then he urged the spirit boat to start, and in a flash he disappeared in front of the four people.
The old man surnamed Hu and the head of the business looked at each other, both revealing a look of disappointment. There were not many chances to interact with such a strong man. If they could seize the opportunity, it would be an opportunity. Unfortunately, they did not have the ability to seize it.
Chen Lin controlled the spirit boat, activated its concealment function, and headed straight for Liangyi City without stopping.
Two months later.
The feared danger did not materialize.
After traveling at high speed day and night, they finally arrived at the territory of Liangyi City.
Chen Lin could see the huge shadow of the city from afar, as well as clusters of village buildings outside the city and spiritual fields that stretched as far as the eye could see.
A thriving scene.
After putting away the spirit boat early, Chen Lin flew at low altitude, enjoying the long-lost relaxing atmosphere.
Then he discovered that every once in a while, a patrol team wearing standard robes would appear.
And on the ground below, there was a strange building about ten miles away. After a little investigation, it was found that it was the corner of the monitoring array.
He couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart. Although the atmosphere here seemed relaxed and free, it was actually under very strict control. This was probably the reason why such a prosperous scene could be maintained.
The entire city is shrouded in a magic circle, and the only way to enter the city is through the city gate. Although no one checks your identity, there is a detection formation in place.
Chen Lin had no hidden dangers now, so he was naturally not afraid of being detected. He passed through the range of the formation and walked into the city.
"Senior, do you need a guide?"
As soon as he entered the city, perhaps because his looking around was too obvious, a very elegant female cultivator immediately came over and asked him politely.
Chen Lin immediately showed a look of surprise.
The other party's cultivation level is in the late stage of foundation building, and he doesn't seem to be living in poverty. Instead, he looks quite noble. How could he make a living as a guide
When I went to other cities before, there were also people blocking the city gates looking for guides, but they were all low-level cultivators in the early stages of Qi training. This was the first time I had seen someone like this.
"This is the first time I've encountered a guide in the Foundation Establishment Stage. How much does he charge?"
Chen Lin was curious and asked.
The elegant female cultivator smiled and took out a token to show it, then said, "Senior, this should be your first time in Liangyi City. You don't know the situation here. We are the official guide team of the City Lord's Mansion, specializing in serving cultivators above the Golden Core level. Ordinary guides are free of charge, senior guides are charged 30 spirit stones per day, and top guides are charged one top-grade spirit stone per day."
Chen Lin was really interested now.
The managers of Liangyi City are really interesting. Even the profession of guide is officially monopolized. I wonder if it is to guide new monks to consume or for other purposes.
"Then please find a top-notch one!"
Chen Lin directly chose the one with the highest level.
He wanted to see what difference a piece of top-grade spirit stone could make as a guide for one day, and at the same time find out the purpose of the city manager's actions.
"Okay, wait a moment, senior."
The elegant female cultivator continued to smile and casually threw out a communication talisman.
After a while, a graceful figure came from the sky and landed beside the elegant female cultivator.
The two of them exchanged a few brief words, and then a graceful figure appeared in front of Chen Lin.
With a gentle bow, he said, "I am Xiao Chengyue, the junior. I am honored to meet you. From now on, I will be your guide. If you have any questions or want to buy any treasures, you can ask me."
The woman was only at the initial stage of foundation building, but she was neither humble nor overbearing, and her words and actions were very decent.
Chen Lin showed admiration in his eyes and said, "That would be troublesome."
He had previously thought that the high fees must have led to some unspeakable activities, but now it seems that it is not as dirty as he thought.
"I wish you the best experience in the city. If you need to contact the City Lord's Mansion for anything else, or if you need any help, just tell Guide Xiao Chengyue."
The elegant female cultivator bowed again and retreated back to the building on the side of the city gate.
Chen Lin understood what was happening.
The other party probably did not discover that he was a newcomer from his words and behavior, but the detection array in the city gate had a memory function and could automatically identify him. As long as a new high-level monk entered the city, the other party would come out.
"Senior, is there any place you want to go, or any items you want to buy?"
Xiao Chengyue spoke generously.
Chen Lin put away his thoughts, glanced at the other party, and said, "Don't worry, just take a look around first. Tell me the information in the city. You can tell me anything you think is necessary."
A piece of top-grade spirit stone is nothing to him, but it is actually not a small amount. The other party dares to charge such a high price, it should not be as simple as leading the way, but must show its due value.
"Okay, then senior, please do as you please, and I will be by your side to explain things to you."
Xiao Chengyue nodded to show that she understood, followed Chen Lin and began to tell the story.
His voice was clear and pleasant, his speaking speed was neither fast nor slow, and his generous and decent temperament and superior appearance made people feel very comfortable.
As the other party explained, Chen Lin gradually understood the situation in the city and was aware of the things that needed attention.
He couldn't help but nod secretly. Although this guide was expensive, it was definitely worth the money.
The other party did not avoid official information just because he was from the City Lord's Mansion. Instead, he explained it in great detail, allowing him to understand a little about the strong men of the Liangyi Sect and the complex relationships between the various forces in the city.
If he plans to live here permanently or even open a shop to do business, this information will be extremely useful.
Of course, it is still impossible to confirm whether the other party's information is completely accurate and whether it contains any ulterior motives. If you really want to use it, you have to verify it from multiple sources.
But he was just a passer-by and there was no need for that.
"Are there any shops here that specialize in selling sea charts, especially charts of the Silent Sea? If so, take me to have a look."
The Silent Sea is the ocean between the Tianfang Continent and the Bailing Continent. Its area is much larger than the Red Moon Sea and it is also very dangerous, so he wants to see if he can find a complete sea chart, preferably one with safe routes.
If a usable teleportation array cannot be found, crossing the sea is imperative, and the sea chart is of paramount importance.
"OK."
Xiao Chengyue is very professional and never asks why Chen Lin says anything, which Chen Lin appreciates very much.
So even if the other party takes him to buy things and there might be some kickbacks, he doesn't care.
"Reporting to the senior, there are three major markets in this city, and there are shops selling sea charts in each market. The largest ones are Tinghai Pavilion and Xingnan Commercial Bank."
Xiao Chengyue continued the introduction.
Chen Lin interrupted with a surprised look: "Xingnan Commercial Bank, what kind of force opened this? They are so arrogant!"
This realm is called Xingnan Realm. If a trading company dares to name itself after a realm, there must be something special about it.
Xiao Chengyue's eyes flashed with a hint of surprise, but she still adhered to her duties and did not show it. She replied softly: "Xingnan Trading Company is the largest cross-border trading company in this world. Its headquarters is in Zhongtian Continent, and it has branches in various continents. Its owner is the famous Taoist Master Shenmu, who has great influence."
Chen Lin couldn't help but be moved when he heard this.
This business turned out to be owned by a Taoist master; no wonder he dared to give it such a name.
Although he had wandered in Xuanyue Continent for decades, he had rarely been to large cities, so he didn't know much about this trading company.
However, this business probably only has businesses in super big cities, and I have never seen it in Xiaoyun City before.
"Then let's go to Xingnan Commercial Bank!"
Chen Lin spoke slowly, with anticipation in his eyes.
Since this business can operate across continents, it must have the means to travel between the various continents. I wonder if it can reach Hongshan Continent directly. If it can, I will try it at least once, no matter what the cost!
