Chapter 236 The Rumored Dead City

There was a deep knife mark on the weathered wooden plaque, almost splitting it in half.

She stood in the endless stream of people, and people passed by her from time to time, which was enough to show the prosperity of this city.

"Jibei City?" Qin Shu looked at the plaque with a thoughtful look.

Why does this name sound familiar? It seems that someone has mentioned it before.

She touched her chin and thought for a long time, until her eyes fell on the little black snake hanging on her shoulder. Suddenly, a light flashed in her mind and she remembered.

Isn't this the city that was massacred by the demons back then? ! Xie Shiyuan was also regarded as a big demon because of this.

I didn't expect that the Thousand Miles Teleportation Talisman would accidentally teleport her here?

The rumored dead city has now returned to its vibrant appearance. Time is really a good thing.

But now that I have the exact location, I can just send a message to my master and others.

Qin Shu took out the communication jade slip and sent out the news that she had arrived in Jibei City, then she straightened her chest and raised her head and walked towards the city.

However, as soon as she reached the door, she was stopped.

"The entrance fee is 20 low-grade spirit stones."

Qin Shu widened her eyes, "So expensive?"

She vaguely remembered that when she went to Tailai City, the entrance fee was only five low-grade spirit stones.

"If you think it's expensive, don't enter." The guard at the city gate gave her a look of disdain.

An old man standing behind Qin Shu kindly reminded Qin Shu, "Girl, don't feel sorry for these spirit stones. Jibei City is next to the dense forest, and there will be beast tides from time to time. I see that it's cloudy again today, so it's safer to enter the city."

Qin Shu had never been here before. When she heard what he said, she looked up at the sky again. Even a fool knew that it might be unsafe on a cloudy day.

Looking back at the arrogant city gate guard, she suddenly felt very pleasing to the eye. It was just as the old man said, the entrance fee of twenty low-grade spirit stones was not expensive.

She quickly clasped her fists and thanked him, "Thank you for your advice, senior."

She took off the defensive talismans that were originally attached to her body and carefully put them away. At this time, she was only wearing a set of men's clothes that she bought in Chijin City when she first came to the world of immortal cultivation. They were all cheap goods. There was a shabby storage bag hanging around her waist that she used to store her poor things.

She counted out twenty low-grade spirit stones and handed them over. Just as she was about to enter the city, she was stopped by the city guard again.

"Wait."

Qin Shu looked up in confusion and saw the guard pointing at the little black snake on her shoulder and said, "Your spirit pet also needs twenty spirit stones."

Qin Shu: "..."

The big snake gave her so many spirit stones, it would not throw him outside the city gate for twenty low-grade spirit stones.

Of course, the spirit stones could not be given away without hesitation. When you are out, you should not show off your wealth.

She frowned and bargained with the guards. Finally, when the two men could not bear to chase her away, she reluctantly found 20 low-grade spirit stones and handed them over.

It was only a short while before the sky became particularly dark, with dark clouds covering the city, as if a heavy rain would pour down in the next moment.

More and more people were coming from outside the city, and Qin Shu hurriedly quickened her pace.

With so many people, it might still be a problem to find a place to stay at night.

Many years ago, Jibei City was still a small border town in Dongzhou. Now, because more and more monks go to the dense forest to catch monsters, Jibei City has gradually become prosperous.

As soon as you step into the city gate, a hustle and bustle of the world hits you.

The monks here are all licking blood on the edge of a knife, and their personalities are more violent than those of monks in other cities.

Even the rules in the city are more unique than before, for example... fighting is prohibited here, but flags can be raised for duels.

In the center of the city is a huge arena, which is also a place for the monks in the city to settle personal grudges.

The city is divided into eight areas. It is said that on the day when the new city was built, Xingchen Zhenren of Tianji Pavilion came to see it in person and asked them to build it according to the formation diagram, so that if the demons invade again in the future, they can also have a fighting force.

Qin Shu searched for a long time, but there was no place to stay. Almost all the inns in the city were full of people.

Seeing that the heavy rain was coming, Qin Shu also experienced the feeling of having money but nowhere to spend it for the first time.

She stood under a roof, thinking about where to find a place to hide from the rain.

Finally, she looked around and fell on a tavern opposite. After thinking about it, she went in.

The tavern was full of strong men wearing animal skins with bare chests. As soon as she entered the door, a pungent smell hit her in the face.

The smell of sweat mixed with the smell of alcohol, Qin Shu frowned slightly, and casually pinched a cleaning spell, and the messy room suddenly became clean, even the sweat smell of those strong men was cleaned up.

The waiter suddenly felt a refreshing smell at the tip of his nose, and was stunned for a moment before turning his head to look at Qin Shu who had just walked in.

"Fairy, you... come to drink?"

He was a little surprised. This person didn't look very old, and didn't look like a person with a bulging wallet. He probably just wanted to take shelter from the rain.

Qin Shu nodded slightly, "Well, what good wine do you have?"

A visitor is a guest, and this person is also a cultivator after all.

The waiter led her aside, pointed to several signs hanging on the wall and said to her: "There are ordinary turbid wine, and there is also a spicy red flame demon root wine, and a refreshing bamboo shield leaf... There is also a fire lotus golden silkworm wine, which is very expensive."

Qin Shu slapped ten low-grade spirit stones on the table and said to the waiter: "Give me a pot of turbid wine!"

The waiter didn't seem surprised to hear her say that, but was more certain that she was just here to avoid the rain.

So he raised his voice and responded, "Wait a moment."

Qin Shu found a table by the window and sat down. Several strong men drinking and shaking dice called her, "Little boy!"

Qin Shu turned her head and glanced, and saw that two of them were already staggering towards her with wine jugs, "Little boy, are you here to drink too?"

Qin Shu nodded. At this time, raindrops had begun to fall outside the window, and the rain fell on the bluestone bricks, splashing large patterns.

The two men sat down opposite Qin Shu, and their burly bodies squeezed on a bench, looking a little crowded.

"Are you here to avoid the rain?"

Qin Shu didn't say anything, but looked up at them vigilantly, wanting to see what they were going to say.

"You can tell at a glance that you just arrived in Jibei City and don't have money to stay in a hotel. When it rains, the inn's business is particularly good."

"Why? Will there be trouble on rainy days?" Qin Shu took the opportunity to ask.

"It's okay on rainy days, but don't let it thunder. Once it thunders, all the monsters in the forest will run out." One of them grinned and explained happily.

Qin Shu looked up through the half-closed window at the layers of black clouds outside the sky, and felt that the situation was not optimistic.

"You just came here, do you want to join us? When the weather clears up, we will go to the forest to hunt monsters. If we can catch a high-level monster, let alone stay in the inn, it is not impossible to buy a house in the southeast area."

Qin Shu saw at a glance that one of these two people was at the sixth level of Qi training, and the other was at the seventh level of Qi training. With such cultivation, they still wanted to catch high-level monsters? It's better to fill the teeth of high-level monsters.

"I... I'm afraid I can't do it. My cultivation is low and I will hinder you." Qin Shu pretended to be terrified and whispered.

"Hey, what's there to be afraid of! Our boss can teach you how to cultivate!"

If you are too nice to someone, you are either a traitor or a thief.

These two people didn't know what they were up to. Qin Shu followed their words and pretended to be excited: "Really?"

"Of course it's true. We will take you back to see the boss later. The boss is very good to the new teammates. You will know when you go back with us."
