Qingcang City is located in the southeast of the Huaxia Dynasty, at the easternmost end of Yanzhou and the westernmost end of Huangzhou.
As the westernmost city in Huangzhou, Qingcang City is located in a remote location, but it is not as deserted and shabby as imagined. On the contrary, even before entering the city, you can see the lively scene of people coming and going.
Although Qingcang City in Huangzhou cannot be compared with Zhoucheng, it is also among the best among the second-rate cities in Huangzhou, because as the junction of Yanzhou and Huangzhou, there are no less than several top sects here, and some aristocratic families. There are so many people entrenched here, and important places like this usually have important guards. What they are afraid of are those crazy evil people who will massacre villages or even cities in order to practice some evil skills, which is an outrage to humans and gods.
Although this is the junction of Yanzhou and Huangzhou, the two sides of the junction are completely different. On one side is Rouge County, which is surrounded by mountains and specializes in beauties, charming girls, and on the other side is Huangzhou, which gradually falls into the plains. , that majestic and somewhat majestic city Qingcang City represents the official sign of entering the Huangzhou territory!
At this moment, after a night of cultivation in the Paradise Palace, Zhao Jiuge and the others finally traveled for half a day and passed through the somewhat long and remote place between the two states.
The three people who had just passed through a winding mountain were now not far from Qingcang City, looking curiously at this top city in Huangzhou.
The entire Qingcang City is vast. Right here in the direction of the main entrance, Zhao Jiuge couldn't even see the edge. This shows how vast Qingcang City is.
In addition to a capital city, the Chinese Dynasty had a state city in each state. At the bottom were the second-rate cities in each state, and Qingcang City was at this end. At the bottom were naturally some third-rate cities and some villages and towns.
Since Zhao Jiuge has been practicing, he has seen the huge and shocking capital city, and has also experienced various cities along the way, but this is the first time he has seen such a lively city like Qingcang City. To say that it is lively and prosperous is just that feeling. In real comparison, Qingcang City is naturally far inferior to the capital city, but standing in the city, you can hear the bustling people and noisy sounds in Qingcang City. , this can’t help but make Zhao Jiuge yearn for it. After practicing for so many years, he has always been in sects or places with dangerous environments. The long-lost noise made him feel like he had returned to the village where he lived and was in contact with the human world again. , maybe only at this time did he realize that he was more down-to-earth and popular, rather than the chief disciple of the Xuantian Sword Sect who had emerged from the dust.
As the name suggests, the entire Qingcang Temple is built with huge blue stones of one or two meters. It is not magnificent or splendid, and it does not reveal the simplicity of vicissitudes of life, but it gives people a refreshing and comfortable feeling, which makes people feel comfortable for no reason. Feeling inexplicably better, Zhao Jiuge thought to himself, maybe this was the first time he had seen the city after so long of training, and the bustling scene of people coming and going had infected him.
Zhao Jiuge was wearing a black brocade robe and carrying a black sword scabbard. He slightly raised his neck and looked at the majestic city less than two hundred meters in front of him.
Pei Susu, who is wrapped in a simple and elegant green robe with a graceful figure, is not stained with pink and white, her black hair is swaying slightly in the wind, her face is a little cold, standing on the left side of Zhao Jiuge, although a pair of beautiful eyes are also looking at Qingcang City, but she is clearly thinking in her heart In the past, Pei Susu would have held Zhao Jiuge's arm, but she was still worried about what happened last night, so she could only worry about it.
The two men, a talented man and a beautiful woman, are like a couple of gods and gods. The beautiful scenery, the breeze, and the city are all integrated into one, and everything forms a painting. But two meters away to the right of Zhao Jiuge, Sanwu in a yellow monk's robe undoubtedly broke the beautiful atmosphere. He had a big bald head on his face with red lips and white teeth, which was quite a sight.
Maybe he knew in his heart that he was a light bulb, so Sanwu intentionally stood farther away from the two of them. The young Sanwu looked harmless, but it didn't mean that he didn't understand anything. As for the matter of men and women, he was more or less Those who are less understand some.
There is also a palm-sized one on Pei Susu's shoulder. He is covered in black hair, except for Xiao Hei, who has white hair on his belly and around his eyes. Ever since Xiao Hei broke through to the late stage of the spiritual elixir realm after a period of deep sleep, he has not been idle for a moment. He couldn't help but have to lie on Pei Susu's body and play around every day. Zhao Jiuge was a little confused as to why this little black guy was getting weirder and weirder. The more he improved his cultivation level, the smaller his size became. Moreover, with such a high cultivation level, he didn't find any natal magical powers. This made Zhao Jiuge. He was still a little depressed. Other people's spirit beasts were majestic, but they were like this when they came to his place. However, Zhao Jiuge didn't pay too much attention to this. He was just a little jealous and didn't understand why Xiao Hei clung to Pei Susu every day!
"Come on, let's go into the city. Let's take a stroll today, and then we'll see where the Hanyan Flower is."
Zhao Jiuge, who had been watching outside Qingcang City for a long time, could no longer bear the lively atmosphere in the city and said impatiently. His purpose this time was to see if anyone in Qingcang City was selling Cold Flame Grass. Usually there would be an auction house in that city. Zhao Jiuge just wanted to try his luck. A city as big as this should have an auction house. The level is not low. After all, the bigger the city, the more monks there are, the more resources there will be, and the more people will be buying and selling. By then, all kinds of extremely precious and rare things may come out.
There was a faint aura on the surface of Qingcang City that appeared from time to time, and then flashed by. This surprised Zhao Jiuge. He thought to himself that Qingcang City seemed to be quite important. The Chinese dynasty generally only had top cities or some geographical locations. Formations will be arranged in important cities in order to guard against those evil spirits. After all, there are too many people practicing in this world, and it is difficult to guarantee that someone will do something that will outrage people and gods. Moreover, the realm of cultivation is not as simple as one plus one equals two. If a demonic monk with advanced cultivation suddenly appeared somewhere, he would be able to crush a group of people.
Everything in the world is divided into two poles, with prosperity and decline, and the same goes for practitioners. Although it seems that the Chinese Dynasty is peaceful and the Seven Holy Lands are still the rulers of the entire dynasty, in fact there are undercurrents of evil cultivators. Just waiting for an opportunity, maybe it will break out. When the time comes, it will be one moment or another. In the past history, there were many evil cultivators whose realms increased greatly. Several old monsters and evil cultivators in the Mahayana realm directly led some evil demons to kill wantonly. The monks and ordinary people occupied a large number of cities and territories, and naturally they also occupied a large number of resources.
It’s just that since ancient times, evil has not suppressed good. After all, there are still a majority of righteous people in the world, so no matter how bad the situation sometimes is, the righteous sect still has the upper hand in the end. There are too many evil demons and they are hidden, so killing them alone is ineffective. Just like weeds that have not been eradicated, it will not be long before the spring breeze blows deeper and they will appear in large numbers like rainbows after the rain. Therefore, All the Seven Holy Lands and the righteous sects can do is take precautions before they happen.
When the three people and one macaque stepped into the unattended gate, they could clearly see the road paved with blue boulders. Zhao Jiuge frowned slightly. When he entered, he could clearly feel a wave of spiritual energy. Power fluctuations enveloped his whole body, and then disappeared in an instant. Soon Zhao Jiuge's expression returned to normal. The appearance just now was probably that some monks in the realm of gods were using their souls to check him nearby. Everyone who entered the city should be treated this way.
This made Zhao Jiuge restrain his pride. It seems that there are many advanced monks in this city. Just one city gate is controlled by monks in the realm of gods. Most of these monks are sent by the aristocratic families entrenched here. After all, the aristocratic families Different from sects, the former is purely about earning resources and continuously developing themselves, while the latter is focused on practicing to improve their strength. These aristocratic families use some means to continuously collect some resources, treasures and spiritual stones, and then use these cultivation resources to recruit some monks to provide combat power for their own use.
This discovery made Zhao Jiuge ecstatic, and his eyes suddenly became hot. He was not afraid of more people, but less afraid of them. The more advanced monks, the more powerful they will be, which only proves that there are more resources here, and maybe the auction house will be of higher quality. Not necessarily low! Then he would have great hope in finding the Cold Flame Flower.
What Zhao Jiuge lacks most today is the Hanyan Flower. The top priority is to find the whereabouts of the Hanyan Flower. As for whether he has the ability or money to get it, that will be a matter later. As for other things, he is not within the scope of his consideration, because from Huanxi Regarding the monk's matter, Zhao Jiuge realized a very serious problem, that is, his current strength was completely insufficient. When meeting a Yuanying realm monk, although he could still fight with his own strength, he would not be crushed by him. But when it comes to Nascent Soul Realm monks with strong cultivation and extraordinary foundation, then I am completely inadequate.
And he himself was also very distressed. He had been unable to break through to the Nascent Soul Realm and had been stuck in the late stage of the Spiritual Pill Realm for so long. This made him wonder whether it was because the Eighth-Rank Spiritual Pill was so difficult to break through. The hope of a breakthrough is slim!
Fortunately, although Zhao Jiuge is anxious to improve his strength, he does not go to the point of being obsessed with it and takes the wrong path like those evil spirits. Therefore, he can quickly improve his strength through some means. This is also thanks to the cultivation method of Xuantian Sword Sect. , a pioneer in cultivating Taoism, which allowed Zhao Jiuge to lay a solid foundation in his first year in the outer sect. Although he was anxious about cultivation, he still maintained a successful attitude.
So Zhao Jiuge no longer thinks about these things at all, but works hard to improve his current greatest strength, which is to get the Cold Flame Flower, work hard to strengthen his physical body, and take his Sanskrit Holy Body to a higher level. Maybe that way With his strong body, his own skills, and the sharpness of the Xuantian Sword Judgment, he can still fight with some Nascent Soul Realm monks, so he won't always be held back and have to rely on Pei Susu, a woman, to take action if something goes wrong. But deep in his heart, Zhao Jiuge also occasionally thought about how the inner disciples of the sect who were also training were doing now, and whether the disciples of several other holy places would be like him, with no progress in their cultivation for a long time.
Zhao Jiuge couldn't hold back his excitement when he thought about the possibility of getting news about the Han Yanhua in Qingcang City. He didn't go to rest and went directly to inquire about the Qingcang City auction house.
Although the entire Qingcang City is very large, it is relatively planned. Each area has its own things to do in each area. It is orderly and not messy. It is obvious that there are people managing everything.
Walking on the street paved with blue boulders, Zhao Jiuge felt the bustling and lively atmosphere, and he couldn't help but relax. Only Pei Susu still looked a little deserted, not as lively and clever as before. Sanwu seemed to rarely go out to travel around the world, so he seemed to be very curious about everything. His eyes kept staring at some roadside snack stalls, but Zhao Jiuge, who was in a hurry to find the auction house, could not care less at this time. Fuck him.
