Shi walked around Rikang City for a while, and Shi Mu found that compared with some cities in Dongzhou Continent, although the scale of this city is not bad, it seems to have a sense of returning to basics, especially some residential areas, which are generally Savage tribal style.

Here, looking around, most of them are single-story buildings, and double-layer or even multi-layer buildings are rare.

Along the way, most of the shops along the street focus on buying and selling spiritual materials, medicines and monster materials, and there are very few shops selling finished products.

Presumably it has something to do with the fact that the barbarians in the Xihe continent are not good at this way. In this regard, they are similar to the barbarians in the Dongzhou continent.

However, this may be one of the reasons why the various heaven and earth resources in Xihe Continent have not yet been exhausted.

Accompanied by Caier's twittering all the way, Shi Mu stopped at the door of a two-storey shop.

The building of this shop seems to be carved out of a whole black boulder with a diameter of more than 20 feet. The middle of the boulder is hollowed out, opening up an open shop space inside, which is quite special.

This is a shop that sells spiritual materials, and it can be regarded as the largest of its kind in the city.

There were not too many customers staying in the shop at the moment, Shi Mu was happy to be quiet, and walked in immediately.

There were some exquisite wooden shelves in the shop, and there were many exotic flowers and plants on display on them, which made Shi Mu dazzled for a while.

"Sea Breeze Vine, Pokeweed, Cistanche Cistanche, Tortoise Grass..."

Shi Mu was sure, and still recognized some spiritual herbs, and muttered in a voice that only he could hear.

Speaking of it, the reason why Shi Mu recognized a small part of the items displayed in this store was because of some classics he had accidentally obtained from his opponents in these years, and he would sometimes read them in his spare time when he was practicing.

However, this small part of recognizable things really surprised Shi Mu.

Because many of these things are the key ingredients for refining some high-level talismans and elixirs, they are all valuable in the East Continent, and they are even more rare in the market.

At this moment, a short, fat, thick-browed barbarian man with a purple beard greeted Shi Mu with a smile on his face, and said:

"Guest officer, what do you need? Would you like me to introduce you to me?"

This person's dressing style is different from those of the waiters in the store, so he should be the shopkeeper. It must be because Shi Mu's cultivation base is not weak and his appearance is extraordinary, so his words are very polite.

"I don't know if your store sells the blood of the monster ape?" Shi Mu asked with a thought.

"It's really a coincidence that the guest officer came here. Our shop has just received a batch of Yunshan Monster Ape's blood, which is of good quality. I wonder if the guest officer would like to take a look?" said the thick-browed man.

"But I don't know, is there blood essence above the innate peak level?" Shi Mu asked.

"This... Yunshan Demon Ape's strength is only at the early stage of Xiantian, so I'm afraid it will disappoint the guest officer. But with all due respect, if this shop doesn't have something, other spiritual material shops in the city may not have it either." The thick-browed man said with some embarrassment.

"Why, is it difficult to find high-level monster apes?" Shi Mu asked.

"The guest officer does not know that our Donghe area is dominated by snakes and pythons, and it is generally difficult to find traces of high-level monster apes. The Xuanhua area where monster apes live is far away from this place, and it is extremely dangerous. High-level monster apes are rare. Monster materials flow here. However, if you are lucky, it may appear in the occasional auctions held in the city." The thick-browed man said.

Shi Mu smiled wryly in his heart, it seems that the matter of finding the blood of the monster ape still needs some opportunities, so let's put it aside for now.

He was about to leave, when suddenly his heart moved, and he asked again: "By the way, I wonder if I can ask you something?"

"Guest officer, it's okay to say, as long as I know, I will know everything." The man with thick eyebrows said with a smile.

"I don't know if you know Ling Tianfeng?" Shi Mu asked

"The guest officer inquired about this peak, do you want to go there?" The thick-browed man was stunned and asked:

The corner of Shi Mu's mouth raised slightly, noncommittal.

"Forgive me for speaking bluntly, but that place is impossible to go to." The thick-browed man frowned and said.

"Oh, why did you say that?" Shi Mu asked a little strangely.

"That Lingtian Peak is the sacred place of the monster clan, and it is a natural danger. Let alone us barbarians, even ordinary monsters cannot approach at will." The thick-browed man said.

"Holy land?" Shi Mu asked with some doubts.

"I happen to know a little bit about this matter. Since the guest officer is interested, I will repeat one or two things." The thick-browed man said.

"That's very good, thank you Your Excellency." Shi Mu said.

Through the next words of the thick-browed man, Shi Mu finally had some understanding of the history and current situation of Xihe Continent.

According to him, Xihe Continent is divided into 36 large and small areas. This Lingtian Peak is located in the Naluo area in the middle of Xihe Continent. The most prosperous demon tribe guards it and regards it as a holy place. No one is allowed to approach it, or they will be killed.

As for why it is called the Holy Land of the Yaozu, it starts from thousands of years ago.

At that time, Xihe Continent originally only had two major races, the Barbarian and the Monster Race. The Monster Race was divided into seventy-two tribes, with a huge number of groups, occupying most of the core area of ​​the mainland. The Barbarian Race was headed by ten tribes, mainly living in area around the continent.

Because the totem warriors among the barbarians need to use a lot of monster souls and materials in the process of cultivation, they often slaughter the monsters, and the strong among the monsters gradually start to retaliate against the barbarians. , the conflict between the two sides intensified, and finally a war broke out between the monster and barbarian clans.

In the next hundred years, the two tribes continued to dispute, and countless large and small battles broke out. For a while, blood flowed into the Xihe Continent.

The barbarian race is far superior to the monster race in wisdom, and they can use totem secrets to refine magical weapons and spiritual weapons. Together with the ten tribes, the barbarian kings form an alliance, and under the same hatred, they gradually gain the upper hand in the battle.

However, there were already many conflicts among the tribes of the Yaozu, and they did not form a joint force. In the end, they were defeated by the barbarians, causing heavy casualties. In the end, a large area that belonged to the Yaozu was occupied by the barbarians.

"Under such circumstances, one day suddenly, a demon king appeared among the demon tribe, who looked like a white ape. Sweeping across the Xihe Continent, defeated the barbarians who were in full swing. Most of the ten barbarian kings were killed and injured, and each part fell apart. The white ape demon king even claimed that he wanted to drive all the barbarians out of the Xihe Continent. His arrogance was indistinguishable for a while , and our barbarian side was once in a precarious situation." Said the thick-browed man.

"White Ape! Could it be..." When Shi Mu heard these two words, his heart was shocked, and he vaguely thought of something.

"Boss, where did the White Ape Demon King come from?" At this moment, Cai'er on Shi Mu's shoulder suddenly asked.

"Some people say that the White Ape Demon King descended from the sky, while others say that it was formed by a certain ancient monster who practiced in seclusion for thousands of years. However, most of the monster tribes believe that the White Ape Demon King came down from Lingtian Peak. In short, there are different opinions. There is no way to verify it." The thick-browed man glanced at Cai'er in surprise, shook his head and said.

Cai'er seemed to want to ask something more, but was flicked by Shi Mu's finger, and she calmed down.

"What happened afterwards?" Shi Mu asked.

"The latter thing is a bit dramatic. In this case, a group of human races from the Eastern Continent came from the west and called themselves the Mingyue Cultists. They just entered Xihe, and they have no foundation. I don't know what they have achieved with the barbarian kings. agreement, and began to cooperate with our barbarians to fight against the monsters. With the addition of the Necromancer Corps of the Mingyue Sect, the strength of the barbarians has greatly increased, and they can barely deal with the monsters, but because the white ape demon king is too strong , as long as he comes forward, the battle will still be one-sided. Just when the barbarians and the Mingyue Cult are gradually unable to hold on, the White Ape Demon King suddenly disappeared without a trace, just like when he appeared."

"Missing whereabouts?" Shi Mu asked in surprise.

"That's right. Not long after he left, the monster clans began to show civil strife again. In addition, the century-old battle lasted too long, and both sides were tired, so the war gradually subsided. Since then , Ling Tianfeng was called a holy place by the demon clan, it is said that it was the place where the white ape demon king appeared and left, and the demon clan believed that one day, the white ape demon king would appear from there again."

"I see." Shi Mu nodded thoughtfully.

Afterwards, the two chatted for a few more words, and Shi Mu bid farewell to the other party. Before leaving, he bought several kinds of spiritual materials needed to draw high-level talismans, which can be regarded as a thank you for the kindness of the other party.

After Shi Mu left the shop, he continued to walk along the street.

"It seems that the situation in Xihe Continent is far more complicated than we expected. Ling Tianfeng is actually a sacred place of the monster race. It may not be easy to go there. Stone, what do you plan to do next?" Some unfinished feeling.

Shi Mu was silent and didn't speak for a while.

"Think about it again, but it's already noon now, and I'm very hungry. You promised, let's find a place to eat first." Cai'er yelled.

"You know how to eat and drink all day long, so you don't have anything to worry about." Shi Mu glanced at Cai'er and said angrily.

"Who made you the master, this troublesome matter is of course for you to consider!" Cai'er said.

Shi Mu shook his head, walked forward, walked for a while, and came to a rather luxuriously decorated restaurant.

"Just here." Shi Mu stepped in.

This is a large restaurant with gorgeous decoration and a very grand layout.

"Guest officer, are you one?" As soon as he entered the restaurant, a waiter greeted him.

"Arrange a quiet room and have some delicate snacks." Shi Mu said.

"If you have good wine, bring some up." Cai'er suddenly interjected.

The clerk looked at Cai'er in surprise. Although this is the Xihe Continent, there are many monsters of all kinds, but talking birds are rare after all.

"Okay, please go upstairs." He quickly agreed and led Shi Mu to the second floor.

The layout here is different from the lobby on the first floor. It is divided into many private rooms, which are almost independent of each other and very quiet.

After reaching the innate level of martial arts, by absorbing the aura of heaven and earth, a warrior can stop eating for a long time. However, Shi Mu has been wandering all this way, and he hasn't had a good meal for a long time, so it's rare to be able to sit down now. Satisfy your appetite. (To be continued.)
