Chapter 536 Sand Sea
"In this way, it is true that the Northern Cold Immortal Territory is becoming more and more unsettled." Han Li said as usual, following the words of the palace lord pretending to be a female cultivator.
"I dare to ask, what is the honored guest doing in this Yuanhuang City?" the female cultivator asked.
"To tell you the truth, I want to go to the Wilderness Realm, and I plan to leave the city tomorrow." Han Li said after thinking about it.
"Going out of the city? Are you going with someone else?" The female cultivator in palace costume seemed a little surprised, stopped and asked.
"I've never been with anyone. I'm used to walking alone." Han Li shook his head and said.
"Forgive me for talking too much, and I have no intention of offending you, but... with the cultivation of a distinguished guest, if you go out of the city alone, it is tantamount to feeding a tiger with your body, and throwing yourself at a wolf." He bowed slightly and said.
"What do you mean by this girl? Could it be that there is some serious danger outside this city?" Han Li asked suspiciously.
"What you don't know is that outside the city of Yuanhuang, there is a vast sand sea millions of miles wide, full of bottomless quicksand pits, not to mention that pedestrians cannot pass through, but strange beasts born in other places have come here. It is impossible to stand anywhere. Unless you take a large ferry in the city, you can reach the wild land on the other side." The female cultivator in palace costume explained.
"Since the land route is impassable, monks can pass through the air. Could it be that there is any danger in the air?" Han Li asked without any change in expression.
As for the danger of this sea of sand, he had never seen it with his own eyes, and he actually didn't pay much attention to it in his heart.
"Not to mention the true immortal monks, even the golden immortal monks would not dare to be so bold as to fly into the sandy sea area rashly. We are close to the wilderness realm. Since the last war in Yuanhuang city, there have been very few ferocious beasts. Show up, but there are often powerful savage creatures cruising in that sea of sand, once they are targeted, even a late-stage true immortal monk will often end in a very miserable end." The female cultivator in palace costume continued.
Hearing her tone, Han Li knew that she was not alarmist, so he frowned a little.
"Besides, even if you are lucky enough not to be attacked by ferocious beasts, there are still many mirages and phantoms of the sand sea waiting for you. If you get lost in them, if you are lucky, if you go around for hundreds of years, you may have a chance to return to Yuanhuang City. If you are unlucky, I'm afraid..." At this point, the female cultivator hesitated to speak, but the meaning behind her words was very clear.
"Where did you take the ferry that the girl mentioned?" Han Li asked after pondering for a while.
"The beacon crenel on the west city gate is the ferry dock, but this kind of ferry only goes twice a year. It's a coincidence that you came here. There is still half a month before the next ferry departs." The lady in palace dress thought. After thinking about it, he replied.
"I still don't understand one thing. Cultivators are vulnerable to attack when they enter the sandy sea. Isn't this ferry full of monks more likely to attract ferocious beasts?" Han Li asked with some doubts.
"My distinguished guests don't know. These sand sea ferry boats are made by the city lord's mansion. It is said that there are some special mechanisms on them that outsiders can't know, which can hide the breath of the whole boat, so that wild creatures can't detect it." The female nun replied.
"So, taking this ferry will be safe and we'll reach the other side?" Han Li said, raising his brows slightly.
"Your honored guest, you are joking. There is nothing foolproof. In fact, eight years ago, the ferry boat had an accident. It was ambushed by a real supernatural beast, and the boat sank in the sea of sand, causing heavy casualties." The female cultivator said with a wry smile.
"Since the ferry can hide its breath, why was it ambushed by the beast?" Han Li asked in surprise when he heard the words.
While talking, the two of them bypassed a Nine Dragon Screen Wall and came to the backyard.
"It is said that there was a wilderness hunting monk from the real fairyland on board. During a previous wilderness hunting operation, he killed a brood of juvenile nine-eyed gnats, which angered the real fairy-level nine-eyed gnats who were out at the time, and was thrown out of the nest by him. The scent of the monk's blood was smelled in the blood, and that's why this disaster happened later." The female cultivator in palace costume pushed aside the branches of an ancient tree, walked over, and continued.
"Wildness hunter monks, you mean the monks who enter the wilderness to hunt exotic beasts?" Han Li asked again with a grunt.
"Yes, and no. Hunting wild beasts is indeed part of the goal of the wilderness monks, but not all of them. Collecting exotic flowers and plants that grow in the wilderness, and excavating some spiritual mine gems are also one of their goals." The female nun in palace costume continued.
"In this way, there should be countless monks who have entered the wilderness realm during these long years. I wonder if there are maps of the wilderness realm that have been handed down, even if they are incomplete." Han Li stopped and asked.
"No. If you go to the store these days, you must be careful. Ten out of ten of those who sell the map of the wilderness are liars." The female nun in palace costume also stopped and shook her head.
"Why is this?" Han Li asked suspiciously.
"Over the years, there are indeed countless monks who have entered the wilderness realm, but their scope of activities is very limited. Those who really dare to go deep into the wilderness realm and can come back alive are almost all high-level immortals above the golden fairyland. And the legend Among them, those who can cross the wilderness realm and reach the adjacent Heishan fairyland can only be powerful people above Taiyi. How few people are like this? How many people will draw a map and spread it?" Xiu smiled and said.
"That's right. If you say that, it's true that there won't be a real map." Han Li continued to walk forward, nodded and said.
"Your guest must have come to this Yuanhuang City because of his yearning for the wilderness realm, right? By then, you can spend some time in those areas that have been proven, and you will be lucky." , said.
Chatting along the way did not feel long, and the two soon arrived at a courtyard in the second-class garden.
Han Li glanced around, and found that the courtyard was formed into a triad. Outside the main house, there was a wing room on each side, with a small garden in between. There were some fresh flowers and young grass jelly in it. .
The maid in palace costume took out a cyan jade tablet with the words "Ting Yuxuan" written on it, and waved it towards the void.
Immediately, a layer of restraining magic circle covering the courtyard was opened, a gust of fragrant wind wafted out from the courtyard, and two graceful figures in maid costumes came out of it, and bowed to Han Li and the two of them. .
"These little maidservants are all female cultivators in the alchemy stage, and their bodies are innocent. If the distinguished guests are pleasing to the eye and bestow some blessings, tonight will be a blessing for them on their journey to immortality. If they are not pleasing to the eye, let them Just make tea, sweep, and do some chores." The female cultivator of the palace costume presented the jade tablet and said.
"No need, I'm used to being alone, so I don't need to serve you." Han Li took the jade tablet and said lightly.
Hearing this, the two maidservants with good looks, who were as good as the female cultivators in palace costumes, had a faint look of disappointment in their eyes, but they didn't dare to say anything more.
"That means they are not blessed. The honored guests should rest for a while, and the banquet will be delivered soon." The female cultivator in palace costumes said with a smile, but her complexion did not change at all.
"I'm sorry." After Han Li said, he raised his hand and threw a brocade bag.
The female cultivator in palace attire followed the trend, and secretly checked with her palms in her sleeves, her expression changed slightly, and she was surprised, and said with a little panic: "The honored guest treats me so kindly, I feel a little embarrassed. Why don't I change another one for the honored guest?" How about staying in the first-class garden guest house?"
"No need, this place is very good, you all go down." Han Li waved his hand casually, turned and entered the courtyard gate.
The female cultivator in palace costume was stunned for a moment, with a smile on the corner of her mouth, she took out a top-grade spirit stone with extremely rich aura from the bag, looked at it carefully for a moment, glanced at the two maidservants, and sighed: "Your fortune is still the same. not enough."
The two maidservants were filled with regret in their hearts, and they looked concerned.
...
On the second day, Han Li got up early and left the Misty Garden.
Jin Tong had rested all night and was full of energy at the moment. He followed Han Li and ran around the street a few times. He already had a lot of delicious food in his hand.
"Uncle, are we leaving now?" Jin Tong said reluctantly with a meat bun in his mouth.
"Not busy." Han Li replied noncommittally, walked towards the West Gate, and soon arrived at the West Gate Ferry.
"Uncle, what are we doing here?" Jin Tong asked with his neck tilted.
"You wait for me here for a while." Han Li said to Jintong, walked towards a nearby black building, and walked out after a while, holding a black talisman in his hand, with a large ship pattern engraved on it.
"What is this..." Jin Tong grabbed the talisman and asked curiously.
"Boat ticket."
As Han Li said, he roughly told Jin Tong about the ferry boat.
"Uncle, I didn't say that, with our strength, we still need to take some kind of ferry. Wouldn't it be faster to fly directly there?" Jin Tong curled his lips and said disapprovingly.
"It's better to be cautious when we first come to the Wilderness Realm, and since there is a ferry here that can cross the sea of sand, it's not for nothing." Han Li said with a faint smile.
Jin Tong tilted his head and thought for a while, then quickly shook his head, stopped thinking about it, and lowered his head to enjoy the delicious food in his hand.
Han Li collected the boat tickets and walked towards the bustling streets in the city.
Although there are many kinds of pills on him now, most of them are plundered from the magic weapons stored by Gong Shujiu and others, which may not be useful to him. After all, there are many dangers in crossing the wilderness, and he still needs to make some preparations .
Moreover, it is close to the wild realm, so there must be a lot of materials unique to the wild realm in the city, which are worth visiting.
However, Yuanhuang City has a large area, and there are restrictions in many places, and the spiritual sense cannot detect it, and it takes a lot of time to wander around blindly.
Thinking so, Han Li walked into a nearby grocery store that seemed to be quite large, bought a book introducing Yuanhuang City, and quickly read it through, gaining a general grasp of the situation in Yuanhuang City.
After putting away his books, he continued to walk forward, and soon came to a rather prosperous area in the inner city.
This place is completely different from other places, but it is a huge white jade square.
With Baiyu Square as the center, there are nearly a hundred wide streets nearby, spreading out in all directions.
And above the square, there is a white palace suspended impressively, the whole body is as white as jade.
Countless white runes circled and danced around the entire palace, emitting bursts of white light, covering the Baiyu Square and all surrounding street areas.
This place is called Tongtian Street, and it is the largest trading area in Yuanhuang City. There is a lot of people, and it looks very lively.
