Chapter 12634 Looking for clues
Ling Xiao did not take the airship again, but walked to the nearby area.

What surprised him was that there were actually people near the Huoyun Mountains, and it was a very prosperous city.

Above the city gate, there were those big characters "Fire Cloud City" again.

This city was probably built because of the Huoyun Mountains. Without the source of energy, warriors who want to practice have to go into the mountains to search for treasures and hunt monsters.

After all, the crystal core of the monster can still help with cultivation.

In this city, the warriors are like standing boulders, each of them exuding a strong aura of ferocity.

Their eyes are as sharp as knives, as if they can see through all hypocrisy and weakness.

Walking in the city, their steps were firm and powerful, and every step seemed to leave a deep mark on the ground.

There is no place for the weak here. They are like fallen leaves that may be swept away by the wind at any time.

Life in the city is full of competition and cruelty, and only the strong can survive here. Those who are not strong enough can only choose to escape or become a stepping stone for others.

The warriors in the city engage in fierce battles every day. Their fists are as hard as hammers, and every attack can bring devastating power.

Here, strength is everything. Only with sufficient strength can you gain a foothold in this land.

Therefore, every warrior is constantly practicing and improving his strength.

They practiced hard day and night, constantly challenging themselves, just to survive in this city full of ferocious energy.

As for the weak, they can only silently endure this cruel reality or find other ways out.

Muzhou, Jinzhou and Zhongzhou at least have some rules, but here, it has become a place without rules.

Walking on the bluestone-paved street, Ling Xiao's figure was particularly eye-catching. His handsome and immature face looked even more three-dimensional under the sunlight, like a sculptured work of art.

However, the reason why he has become the center of attention is not because of his handsomeness.

On the contrary, his youthful and slightly immature temperament seemed to give some people bad thoughts.

In the streets and alleys, people would occasionally whisper to each other, pointing at Ling Xiao, with malicious glints in their eyes.

These people may have noticed some characteristics in Ling Xiao and thought that he might be an easy target to be bullied, or they may have regarded him as a fat sheep to be slaughtered and wanted to get some benefits from him.

No matter what their purpose was, their eyes were fixed on Ling Xiao, as if they were ready to pounce on him and take a bite at any time.

Ling Xiao naturally felt the strange looks from the people around him, but he did not feel scared or retreat.

He knew very well that in this world, strength was the best weapon to protect oneself. Therefore, he did not care about the criticisms of others, but continued to move forward silently, looking for his own opportunities and challenges.

The city is bustling with people, like a boiling ocean. The downtown area is even more bustling with people coming and going, and there are all kinds of shops, which are dazzling.

There are many shops that specialize in repairing weapons. Blacksmiths hold hammers, sparks fly, and they carefully forge all kinds of sharp weapons.

Their skills are superb, and each weapon has been carefully polished and is extremely sharp, enough to allow the warriors to exert greater strength in battle.

In addition, there are many shops that make elixirs.

Alchemists use their superb skills and unique formulas to refine all kinds of magical elixirs.

Some of these pills can enhance a warrior's internal strength, some can heal injuries, and some can increase the speed of cultivation. They are must-haves for warriors who enter the Huoyun Mountains for adventure.

Therefore, these shops are doing extremely hot business.

Warriors flocked to the downtown area, scrambling to buy weapons and elixirs.

They knew very well that without good weapons and elixirs, entering the Huoyun Mountains would mean a life-or-death situation. Therefore, they spared no expense just to ensure their own safety.

The whole city is filled with a tense yet vibrant atmosphere.

Warriors exchanged information and shared experiences here, preparing for the upcoming adventure together. The prosperity and bustle of the city also became the most solid support in their hearts.

"Maybe we can go and ask about the news of Fire Heart!"

Ling Xiao raised his eyes and looked around, his sight locked on a herbal medicine shop.

The herbal medicine shop is not quite the same as the drug store. What is sold here are special medicinal herbs collected from the Huoyun Mountains, not finished pills.

But the more places like this are, the more environments you will be exposed to, and you might even encounter a fire heart.

When you walk into the herbal medicine shop, a strong medicinal aroma hits your nose, making you feel as if you are in a mysterious yet vibrant world.

It's also bustling and lively here, just like a big market.

In the herbal medicine shop, there are all kinds of medicinal herbs, some of which are brightly colored, some of which are peculiar in shape, and each one exudes a unique scent.

Some herbs give off a light fragrance, while others have a spicy taste that makes people want to get closer and take a closer sniff.

In the shop, people come and go, some are selecting medicinal herbs, some are asking about prices, and some are bargaining with the owner.

The shop owners enthusiastically introduced the effects and uses of various medicinal herbs. Their faces were filled with smiles, and they seemed to be extremely satisfied with this busy and fulfilling life.

In a corner of the herbal medicine shop, several alchemists were busy.

They were dressed in long robes, holding various tools, concentrating on refining the elixir. The fire was blazing, and the elixir was rolling in the furnace, emitting waves of tempting aroma.

The entire herbal medicine shop is full of vitality and vigor, as if it is a place full of miracles.

Here, people can find the medicinal herbs and elixirs they need, and also feel the prosperity and hustle and bustle of this city.

Ling Xiao's arrival did not attract people's attention. People here were paying attention to the things they wanted to buy. Unlike those people outside, they would not focus on Ling Xiao just because he was young.

After all, those who can open a herbal medicine shop here usually have complicated backgrounds and are not to be messed with.

You're really looking for death by making trouble here.

No one was paying attention, and Ling Xiao was happy to be free. He looked around the counter, hoping to find some medicinal herbs with the scent of Fire Heart attached to them. This way, he would not expose his purpose and would still be able to find the clues he wanted. It was simply killing two birds with one stone.

The medicinal materials here are actually not that good. Since the source of energy was taken away by the Holy Temple, the quality of the medicinal materials here is getting worse day by day.

Compared with the medicinal herbs Ling Xiao had seen in Zhongzhou and other places, there was a world of difference.

Moreover, he didn't find anything related to the Heart of Fire, which was quite disappointing.

Just as he was about to turn around and leave, a voice suddenly rang out: "How much is this? One price, don't be long-winded, I'm in a hurry to save people."

Hearing the voice, Ling Xiao looked subconsciously and found the stone in the man's hand.
