The setting sun was setting in the west, and the smoke from cooking stoves cast a layer of cloud over the town.
In less than half a day, Ye Yuxi and the others finally arrived at Yangshi City.
Ye Yuxi raised her eyes to look at the tall city gate, her eyes showing some expectation.
There is an endless stream of spiritual beings entering the city gate on the official road, including some farmers carrying burdens to sell vegetables. When you lift your nose and smell it, you can smell a bit of heat in the air.
Heifeng Tianzong frowned and smelled it, a bit of surprise flashed in his eyes: "This seems to be... the smell of Yanyang Stone?!"
"Huh? Flame Stone?" Ye Yuxi looked at Heifeng Tianzong in surprise.
"This smell should be Yanyang Stone." Heifeng Tianzong took a deep breath of air again.
Ye Yuxi also deliberately smelled it. The air in the city was indeed different from that outside, but Ye Yuxi couldn't tell what it was.
"This is the capital of Yanyang, and more than half of the Yanyang stones on the mainland are produced here." Shi Qing said suddenly.
Several people were stunned. Shi Qing had always been serious about his words and would not even say a word, silently following Ye Yuxi. They did not expect that Shi Qing actually knew about Yangshi City.
Feeling everyone's gaze, Shi Qing explained: "The Xue family has a mining business and has business dealings with Yangshi City."
Information about the Flame Sun Stone flashed in Ye Yuxi's mind. The Flame Sun Stone is a type of spiritual stone, but it does not assist in cultivating spiritual power, but rather flames.
There is a fire element in the Sun Stone, and the alchemist can enhance the power of his spiritual flames by absorbing it.
"I didn't expect that the Flame Sun Stone came from here. No wonder Yaowang Valley and Bodhi Pagoda chose to take root here. I don't know if the Flame Sun Stone has any effect on strange fires..."
Ye Yuxi thought to herself as she entered Yangshi City with those pedestrians.
Stepping into the street, my ears suddenly became noisy. Even in the evening, the street was full of pedestrians.
"This place is quite lively, much better than the town outside." Hei Fengtian looked around with his small eyes, glancing at everything he saw.
Ye Yuxi glanced at the shops on the roadside, but there was no shop selling ore.
"Master, where should we go first? Find the inn first or inquire about the news first?" Heifeng Tianzong turned to ask Ye Yuxi for instructions.
Ye Yuxi glanced around, suddenly her eyes narrowed, and she raised her hand and pointed to a grocery store in front of her: "Go there to take a look first, and we'll talk about the rest later."
Grocery store.
"Guests, what do you want to buy?" The shopkeepers, most of whom were in their forties or fifties and slightly fat, hurriedly greeted the customers as soon as they came in.
"Just take a look." Ye Yuxi looked up at the surrounding shelves and asked casually: "Shopkeeper, do you have a map of Yangshi City?"
"Yes, but there are several kinds of maps in the store, including those for various streets in Yangshi City, some for division of forces, and some for Bodhi Towers and the mountains outside. Which one do you want, sir?" the fat shopkeeper responded.
Division of power
Ye Yuxi's heart moved, this thing also has a map? It seems that Yangshi City is more orderly than expected.
If these forces annexed each other as often as they did in the northwest, there would be no need to draw up a map.
"Give me five of each of your maps." Ye Yuxi responded.
After casually looking at some miscellaneous items on the shelves, Ye Yuxi suddenly realized that she didn't have many gold coins left!
"Shopkeeper, are there any large-scale auctions in the city recently?"
"Yes, but those big auction houses are all in the central streets. It's getting dark now, so the guests should find a place to stay first." The shopkeeper stepped on a stool and took down the maps one by one.
