Chapter 276 Fengcheng, Lingjing (Two in One)

After entering the city, Song Changming and his friends' original desire to explore new things soon calmed down.

"Why do the buildings in the city of Guyuan look similar to those in Yunling City?" Song Ping'an scratched his head, walked on the wide long street, and looked at the styles of houses and buildings on both sides, and couldn't help saying.

He had been to Yunling City, the imperial capital of Dalai, several times in the early years.

Compared with Fengcheng in Guyuan, except for the different layout design in the city, many architectural styles are very similar.

So much so that he once thought he was back to the imperial capital of Dalai.

Li Jinyu on the side nodded and said, "It should be so."

"The ancestors of the old Dahan originally came from Guyuan. They arrived on the other side of the abyss and built the first city a thousand years ago, which was Yunling City. It is normal that they would retain the construction style of the Guyuan city-state."

Song Ping'an suddenly realized it after hearing this.

"This also shows that the history of Fengcheng is probably quite long." Song Changming said.

After entering the city, he quickly felt the extremely ancient and profound sense of history of this city.

This wonderful feeling of being in the history book of the years is something that Dahan and the later Dalai Dynasty could not feel.

"Do you feel that the spiritual energy in the city is more concentrated?" Li Jinyu suddenly said.

Although he is not proficient in martial arts, he can also keenly sense the changes in the spiritual energy of the surrounding environment.

The concentration of spiritual energy inside and outside the city is obviously inconsistent, and more spiritual energy is gathered in the city.

"Well, it must be caused by some means, artificially." Song Changming nodded and looked up at the empty sky above his head.

He also noticed the change of spiritual energy early in the morning.

It can be seen that these scattered natural spiritual energy has been spinning around since it floated into the city from outside, as if it was locked in the city by an invisible cover and no longer flowed out.

This is also the main reason for the rich spiritual energy in the city.

These spiritual energies will gradually be unconsciously absorbed by a large number of ordinary people in the city, and will also be consumed by a large number of martial artists.

Invisibly, the balance was maintained.

"Amazing! In this way, practicing in the city is like practicing in a paradise?" Song Ping'an couldn't help but exclaimed. He also vaguely felt the difference between the inside and outside of the city.

"It's not as good as the paradise, but in comparison, ordinary wild places are not as good as those in the city." Song Changming shook his head.

If the paradise could be created so easily, such as the Three Thousand Spiritual Mountains and the Thirty-six Caves in Southern Xinjiang, it would not be so valuable, so that countless sects and forces would scramble to occupy a place.

Seeing Song Changming shaking his head, Song Ping'an smiled awkwardly, thinking that it should be so.

Then, the four of them walked around the city.

Overall, ordinary people still occupied the vast majority of the city, after all, there was a huge population base in front of them.

But in comparison, these ordinary people were mostly strong and healthy under the nourishment of the spiritual energy in the city.

In Song Changming's previous life, I'm afraid that everyone would be a strongman, a superman who could tear apart bears and tigers and run like wolves and leopards.

Even women, most of them only look weak, but they are actually quite strong and may not be unable to uproot weeping willows.

In addition, there are also many warriors in the city, and they can be seen everywhere.

However, private fights are prohibited in the city, and even weapons are not allowed to be displayed in broad daylight, so most of them are low-key and restrained, and dare not act rashly.

There are figures flying in the sky from time to time, and I think they are innate warriors.

However, these innate warriors want to enter the city, and they all enter through the city gate obediently, instead of flying in recklessly.

Song Changming thinks that in addition to the rules, it is probably related to the energy protection settings that permeate the city wall.

The human race city of Guyuan Country is a no-fly zone in normal times. Innate people who can fly outside may not be able to enter even if they want to!

And these rules, in addition to the previous mention by Meng Jianli, the rest need Song Changming and others to explore by themselves.

On the wide road, a cavalry suddenly passed by, and pedestrians retreated to the sides.

The cavalry wore white cloud pattern armor and rode on scaly horned horses. They looked like an elite group of men and horses, and they all had a strong aura.

This white cloud pattern armor was the uniform armor of the Yunzhou official army, similar to the one worn by the guards following Meng Jianli's carriage, with only slight differences in some details and patterns of the armor.

Moreover, the word "Feng" was engraved on the shoulder armor of the cavalry, indicating that they were the official army of Fengcheng!

The general who led the cavalry carried a large axe on his back, and the armor on his body made him look even more majestic. Under his crotch was not an ordinary horned horse, but a yellow-spotted tiger!

"It's General Huang. It's time to go outside the city to fight against the demons again!"

"That's right. The city lord has been killed. The demons are rampant. If we don't suppress them thoroughly, Fengcheng will be in danger."

"That is to say, after the death of the city lord, many people have fled recently, thinking that this city is unreliable and unsafe."

"Alas, I want to leave too. This place is too remote after all. I want to develop in the main city of Cuibai."

"You have to think clearly. The main city is safe, but the competition pressure is also great. If you don't have real skills, you can't find a job."

"So I'm still hesitating."

"."

Song Changming and the other four stopped by, watching the group of cavalry passing by, and listening to the many discussions around them, they understood something.

The previous Fengcheng lord was assassinated by a demon, and the subsequent impact was really not small. People are still panicking at the moment.

Some say that the demon will come again, and then it will be the day to break the city and escape.

There are even serious exaggerations, saying that the demon army will sweep across Yunzhou and completely break out into an interstate war with the human race!

Song Changming had just arrived, and he didn't know that some of these words were alarmist and some were worthy of reference.

"Why do I feel that this place is not peaceful? It is not a place to stay for a long time." Li Jinyu said with a smile.

He obviously heard the rumors around him.

"The Lord of a city can be killed by demons. These are not groundless rumors. Young Master, if we stay here, we must be careful." Song Ping'an said seriously.

"I know, you don't need to stay here for a long time. Let's go eat, drink and rest first, and then we'll talk about it later." Song Changming nodded.

The four of them found a restaurant, which had many novel dishes that were not available at Diners.

"This mulberry wine is sweet and delicious. It is suitable for a woman like Qingqing to drink, and this strong wine is quite refreshing to drink."

In order to try something new, several pots of different wines were served in succession. After tasting each one, Li Jinyu nodded repeatedly.

"It makes you full of praise. It seems that this wine is indeed good." Song Changming said with a faint smile.

He knew that Li Jinyu was a good drinker and ordinary drinks would not get into his eyes.

Have a great time eating and drinking.

"Sir, are you satisfied with the food and drinks?" The waiter stepped forward and asked.

"Not bad." Song Changming nodded.

"Then come here often, and I'll charge you seventy-eight yuan for this table." The waiter immediately said with a smile.

"Seventy-eight dollars?" Song Changming was stunned, and Song Ping'an and Li Jinyu also looked at each other.

When the waiter saw this, his expression changed slightly. He thought the four of them thought it was too expensive, and immediately said: "Sir, the wine and food you ordered are all the most expensive products in the store. Each item is clearly marked with a price. I never took your money randomly.”

"The waiter misunderstood, but how much is the seventy-eight dollars? Forget it, is this bag of money enough?" Song Changming took out a money bag and put it on the table.

The currency of Gu Yuan Kingdom and the currency of Dalai are naturally different.

Therefore, when they first arrived in Guyuan Kingdom, they were penniless.

In the carriage, Meng Jianli accidentally learned about this and expressed his feelings immediately.

Originally, he wanted to give more, but he didn't have much money with him on this trip, so he stuffed the money bag directly into Song Changming.

That's the bag on the table now.

Through Meng Jianli, Song Changming also had a general understanding of the currency system among the people of Guyuan Kingdom.

In fact, this monetary system is based on a type of spiritual crystal.

Spiritual crystals are a type of rare mineral resource. They are usually produced in spiritual veins or some places with extremely strong spiritual energy. After tens of thousands of years of precipitation and cultivation, such spiritual crystals can be produced.

Its characteristic is that it is a small crystal, but it contains huge and extremely pure spiritual energy.

It can be used by warriors to refine their Qi, and can greatly accelerate the efficiency and speed of practice.

Therefore, this is considered hard currency in the martial arts world, just like the mist gold circulating in the martial arts world in Dalai.

However, compared to the sparse amount of mist gold, the total output of this type of spiritual crystal in the ancient Yuan Kingdom, a land of spiritual energy, is still quite large.

Spirit crystal first became the currency among warriors, and over time, it gradually evolved into an important currency within the entire human race.

Even now, even the demon clan has gradually become accustomed to using this kind of spiritual crystal as a simple currency exchange.

Therefore, spiritual crystals are the most mainstream currency in Ancient Yuan Kingdom.

Previously, Meng Shuxuan gave Song Changming ten crystals filled with spiritual energy. After understanding them, it became clear that it was these spiritual crystals.

Moreover, they are ten high-quality middle-grade spiritual crystals.

And in the money bag Meng Jianli gave him, there was a pile of small spiritual coins.

Most of these spirit coins are made from broken and cracked spirit crystals and recast using special manufacturing methods.

If used for cultivation, these spirit coins would be of very little use, so they would be far less valuable than spirit crystals.

But as an extension of the spiritual crystal currency system, the significance of casting spiritual coins is simply to conduct better currency transactions.

Spirit crystals can become mainstream currency and become widely used, and the existence of spirit coins is indispensable.

Basically, ten spirit coins can be exchanged for one low-grade spirit crystal.

Ten low-grade spiritual crystals can be exchanged for one medium-grade spiritual crystal.

The higher-grade spiritual crystals require one hundred mid-grade spiritual crystals to exchange for them.

From a conversion point of view, there is no doubt that high-grade spiritual crystals are extremely rare, which is why they appear so precious.

As for the third level of currency, the value of mid-grade spiritual crystals is obviously not low.

In order to feed his own horse, Meng Shuxuan was generous.

Song Changming knew about the spirit crystal currency, but the waiter in the shop directly told him that it was seventy-eight dollars a mouthful, which made Song Changming a little confused.

Is this a commonly used spiritual coin unit?

He didn't know yet what the purchasing power of spirit coins was here, so he let the waiter misunderstand.

The money bag fell on the table, the mouth was loose, and a pure white light suddenly appeared.

This is a pile of clear and exquisite spiritual coins!

"!" The waiter was shocked when he saw this. He quickly wiped the sweat off his forehead, bent down and cupped his hands, and said hurriedly.

"Don't blame me, sir. It's just a young man who is ignorant and has contradicted several men!"

"When did you say you contradicted me? Is it enough for you to look at the money in the bag?" Song Pingan said impatiently.

"Enough, enough, one spirit coin is enough," the waiter said quickly.

"Is one enough?" Song Changming took out a spiritual coin and handed it over.

"Okay, sir, I'll give you the change now. Please wait." The waiter took the spirit coin and left in a hurry.

He came back soon and took out a stack of banknotes.

There are many neatly arranged small ink characters printed on it, as well as the four big characters of Yunzhou Tongbao, and the back is the annotation of the government bank.

Song Changming was curious and pulled it. The material of this paper money is special. It is thin but quite tough and not easy to be damaged.

Looking at the paper money of different denominations in his hand, there is no doubt that this is the paper money issued by the Yunzhou government.

A little light tap, add up to nine hundred and twenty-two.

This is the remaining part of a spirit coin after deducting the money for the table of wine and food.

Obviously, one spirit coin can be exchanged for one thousand of this paper money!

"In this way, the purchasing power of this spirit coin is good." Song Changming said to himself.

With comparison and reference, the value of the bag of spirit coins given by Meng Jianli is different.

And the ten medium-grade spirit crystals given to him by Meng Shuxuan are undoubtedly more valuable.

It is expected that this paper money should be the official money that existed before the popularity of spirit crystal currency.

The reason why Meng Jianli did not mention this paper money is that he basically does not use paper money on weekdays, maybe he forgot it.

Or maybe they thought that Song Changming, a warrior of this level of strength, would only deal with spirit crystals in the future. Paper money, as the currency with the lowest purchasing power at present, is more suitable for low-level consumption, so they didn't mention it.

After a meal, everyone found an inn with a good environment to stay temporarily.

The paper money that had not been spent before can still be used now.

If one spirit coin is only used for daily consumption, it is enough for the four of them to spend for several days.

In the evening, in the room.

Song Changming held a medium-grade spirit crystal and tried to absorb the pure spiritual energy in it to practice the innate state of Gangqi.

Suddenly, he felt that the spiritual energy in the spirit crystal was like flowing water, slowly flowing into his body.

This spiritual energy was gentle and extremely compatible in his body, allowing him to easily refine it into innate Gangqi and incorporate it into the earth martial vein he opened.

After a while, Song Changming paused his practice, looking at the spirit crystal in his hand with surprise in his eyes.

"Very good!"

The help of the spirit crystal to his practice was better than he expected.

In just a few moments, he could clearly feel the growth of the innate energy in his body.

According to this beneficial effect, if he practiced with this medium-grade spirit crystal for one day, under the state of "God rewards hard work", it would be equivalent to ten days and half a month of daily practice!

"If a medium-grade spirit crystal is like this, then a higher-quality spirit crystal is even more amazing."

Thinking of this, Song Changming fell silent.

He found that the higher the level of practice, the higher the realm, and the demand for practice resources did not decrease, but increased sharply!

For example, in his innate realm, the efficiency and progress of practicing with this spirit crystal and practicing without spirit crystal are completely different.

This is not practice, it is clearly to cultivate money and materials.

The warrior who occupies the most resources, no matter how poor his talent is, his martial arts strength is piled up by hard work.

It is no wonder that most warriors are willing to find a backer or force to rely on, and even the innate level monsters are willing to rely on the big monster as their big brother.

Just like ordinary retail investors, how can they possibly outperform big investors?

Only by relying on one side and getting a stable way to obtain resources can one achieve unstoppable success in cultivation and have a guarantee of safety.

"Spirit crystal"

Song Changming held the flawless crystal in his hand, and thoughts were floating in his mind.
