Stepping through the city gate and into the street, a bustling city scene has already blossomed before Wu Hui's eyes.
Most of the buildings in Yunyang City are made of wood. On both sides of the main roads, there are teahouses, taverns, pawnshops, workshops, clinics and other shops.
These buildings with their brackets and flying eaves and exquisite workmanship are full of ancient beauty. Compared with the ancient buildings on Earth that Wu Hui remembered, they have a more profound feeling that comes from the test of time.
There are many vendors at the foot of the shops.
These vendors either use carts or wooden tables, and some simply use a piece of cowhide felt spread on the ground to do their business.
The things they sell are even more diverse than the goods in the shops. Common items such as talismans, elixirs, utensils, tools, etc. can all be found here. In addition, there are all kinds of spiritual plants, spiritual fruits, antiques, snacks and cakes, etc., and the variety is dizzying.
In short, almost anything that can be sold for some money will be sold here. As for whether it is real or fake, it depends on your personal eyesight.
There were also people walking on the streets, including porters bent over by heavy loads, laborers driving animal carts to deliver goods, merchants in a hurry, and men and women strolling and stopping...
With just a glance, one can clearly see the antiquity and wealth of Yunyang City, and its bustle is permeated with tranquility and peace.
There was just one thing that surprised Wu Hui. The population of Yunyang City was actually very large, but among the dense crowd, there were very few immortal cultivators.
Isn't this a city famous for being a place for immortal cultivators? Why are there so few immortal cultivators here
As if seeing Wu Hui's confusion, the third son of the Wang family's servant hurriedly introduced, "Master Wang Dong, do you think that there are not as many immortal cultivators here as you imagined?"
"It's like this. In our Great Yanzhou, there are not many people with the aptitude to practice cultivation. There may not be one among thousands of people, and there are even fewer cultivators with outstanding aptitude. In addition, these cultivators with outstanding aptitude often go into seclusion, and may not go out for ten or eight years, or even dozens of years. Even if they come out occasionally, they will just make a quick purchase and disappear again. Therefore, the number of cultivators we can see in Yunyang City is much less than that of ordinary people."
"No wonder." Wu Hui answered casually.
When you think about it, it is true.
Immortal cultivators are like the high nobility in other civilizations, pure bloods, they are at the top of the entire social chain. The entire civilization, along with all the races in the civilization, all serve this small group of people.
Not to mention the upper-level cultivators with outstanding qualifications. They are undoubtedly the aristocrats among aristocrats, and their numbers are even rarer.
You should know that in the Great Yanzhou with a population of hundreds of millions, the number of people who have the qualifications to cultivate immortals is less than one percent. And upper-level cultivators like Wang Tian, the head of the Wang family, and patriarchs of other immortal cultivation families who can reach level 8 or even level 9 are even rarer.
Naturally, these upper-level cultivators would not go out easily. Even if they needed to purchase supplies, they would leave it to their servants.
This is also why, although Yunyang City is so big, there are not many immortal cultivators along the way. Powerful immortal cultivators like Wu Hui, who have reached the 6th level of the Nascent Soul stage, are rare hermits.
