Chapter 680 Purple Smoke City
Having just offended the younger generation of the new deputy head of the Yin-Yang Sect, wouldn't it be a trap to go to the Yin-Yang Sect again? Anyway, Qingyang had already received accurate information from Xiao Yuhan, knowing that Fairy Duanqing and Yu Mengmiao were not in the Yin-Yang Sect, so he did not take the risk of going to the Yin-Yang Sect again.
Two people, one man and one woman, one in front and one behind, did not interfere with each other, each sitting on the belly of a gourd, and then Qingyang drove the Yufeng gourd and headed towards the direction of Ziyan City. Since there were two people traveling together, Qingyang didn't have to work hard alone. Qingyang and Xiao Yuhan took turns to control the Yufeng gourd to fly, three hours each, and rested on the Yufeng gourd for the rest of the time.
At night, they would definitely have to land and rest, but the speed of traveling now was much faster than when Qingyang was alone before. Flying for six hours a day, at least more than 2,000 miles can be traveled, and it is more labor-saving than before, because there is more time to rest, so from this point of view, it is actually beneficial to bring Xiao Yuhan with him.
After traveling more than 2,000 miles every day, Qingyang was not as tired as before. He could not help but secretly feel lucky for his choice. Xiao Yuhan did not cause any trouble along the way. She seemed to be afraid that the people from the Yin-Yang Sect would catch up with her. She was very careful in controlling the Yufeng Gourd, which saved Qingyang a lot of effort.
The two were extremely low-key, and the Yufeng Gourd was fast. They did not encounter any blind cultivators who would cause trouble for them, so they did not encounter any twists and turns along the way. They flew continuously for nearly a month and finally arrived at their destination, Ziyan City.
Ziyan City is also a famous city for independent cultivators on the Jiuzhou Continent. Because of its location, there are not only local cultivators, but also many overseas cultivators. It is a window for the Jiuzhou Continent to communicate with the outside world. It is relatively more prosperous, so the scale of Ziyan City is also larger, and its status in the world of immortal cultivation is much higher than that of Yuling City and Tujiao City.
There are more than 100,000 cultivators in Ziyan City alone. Of course, most of them are in the lower Kaimai Realm and Qi Refining Stage. There are also many foundation-building cultivators. The permanent residents plus the outsiders exceed a thousand people, even exceeding the seven major immortal gates ranked at the bottom. More importantly, the city lord of Ziyan City, Ziyan Zhenren, is a Jindan cultivator, which is rare in other large cities of scattered cultivators.
Ziyan City has strong comprehensive strength, but after all, it is a city of scattered cultivators. It does not have the cohesion of immortal gates, and its mobilization ability is relatively poor. In addition, there are a large number of scattered cultivators from the sea living in the city. Therefore, Ziyan City has a transcendent status among the large cities of scattered cultivators, but it cannot be compared with those immortal gates. It is only slightly stronger than small immortal gates, and is not as good as most medium-sized immortal gates.
But no matter what, this Ziyan City is also a rare large city of scattered cultivators, and there are Jindan cultivators sitting in it, which can keep one side safe, and the monsters from the sea dare not come to harass.
Looking at Ziyan City from a distance, Xiao Yuhan breathed a sigh of relief. He was finally able to walk out. It was too late for the Yinyang Sect to find trouble with him. Qingyang was more melancholy in his heart. He didn't know when he would be able to come back after leaving Jiuzhou Continent this time.
Qingyang's wind-controlling gourd was too eye-catching, so they couldn't get too close. The two found a hidden place to land in the distance. After putting away the wind-controlling gourd, they used their body skills to move towards Ziyan City.
The situation in Ziyan City was similar to that in Yuling City. You had to pay a city entrance fee to enter the city, even for foundation-building cultivators. However, that little fee was not worth mentioning for Qingyang and Xiao Yuhan in the foundation-building period. After paying the fee, they each received a simple sign to enter the city.
This Ziyan City is worthy of being the window connecting Jiuzhou Continent to the open sea. The prosperity of the city is not comparable to those inland cities. There are shops on both sides of the street, and cultivators come and go on the street. Even the area of the market is more than ten times larger than other places, and there are tens of thousands of temporary stalls.
Moreover, ordinary people are rarely seen on the streets of Ziyan City. At least they are at the Kaimai realm. There are also many Qi-refining cultivators, and even foundation-building cultivators are not uncommon. It can be seen that the level of cultivators in Ziyan City is much higher than other places.
Inside the city gate, there are many young people with some cleverness. Every time a cultivator comes in, they will take the initiative to greet and guide him. They are all local low-level cultivators who were born and raised here. Their cultivation is not high and they have no other way to obtain spirit stones. So they serve as guides for those cultivators who come to Ziyan City for the first time and earn some spirit stones to supplement their family expenses.
When Qingyang and Xiao Yuhan entered the city, they did not deliberately conceal their cultivation. It was obvious that they were foundation-building cultivators. It is said that being a guide for foundation-building cultivators is the most profitable. High-level cultivators are generally generous, but they are also difficult to serve. Not only do they have strange tempers, but they also have high requirements. Some of them are more picky. Not only will they not be paid, but they will also be beaten and scolded for no reason. If the other party does something in private, they will die without knowing how they died.
After some hesitation, none of the guides dared to come forward. After a long time, a thin young man who was less than 20 years old took the initiative to greet Qingyang and Xiao Yuhan. Perhaps he was a newborn calf who was not afraid of a tiger, or perhaps he had to come forward because of life.
The thin young man came to Qingyang, bowed first, and then said: "Two seniors, I am Wang Chenggu, you can call me Xiao Wang. I have lived in Ziyan City since I was a child, and I am familiar with all aspects of the city. Seniors, are you willing to let me be a guide?"
Qingyang knew something about this situation. He took a look at this little Wang. He only had the fifth level of Kaimai Realm cultivation. He was indeed a low-level casual cultivator with no foundation. In front of him, a foundation-building cultivator, he would not dare to play any tricks. So he nodded and said, "We haven't been in Ziyan City for a long time. You can follow us these days. If you serve well, rewards and other things are fine. If you cheat, don't blame us for being rude."
This is what should be expected. Wang Chenggu hurriedly said, "Even if I have the guts to do it, I dare not deceive the two seniors. We rely on our reputation to do things. If our reputation is gone, how can others dare to ask us for help when they come to Ziyan City in the future? Don't worry, seniors."
Qingyang was quite satisfied with his answer and said, "That's good. You take us to the best inn in Ziyan City first. After we find a place to stay, we will discuss the next step."
Then Wang Chenggu took Qingyang and Xiao Yuhan to the best inn in Ziyan City. This inn is not adjacent to the street and is relatively secluded. It is very suitable for cultivators like Qingyang who like quietness. But because of this, it is difficult for outsiders to find it. Only local snakes like Wang Chenggu can take them there directly.
