Chapter 44 Qianlingfang City
At this time, there was an endless stream of monks coming and going from the city gate, and because there were so many people entering the city, a long queue formed outside the city gate. This shows the prosperity of Qianling City.
Under the city gate, there is a wooden desk, and behind it are two monks sitting on the seventh level of Qi Refining, holding magic instruments, jade slips and other objects in their hands, as if they are recording something.
As time passed slowly, it was Qin Tian's turn to step forward soon.
"What is your name?"
A monk with a mustache asked aloud without raising his head.
“Nangong Wentian!”
"What are you doing here?" the monk asked again.
"Necessary for exchange of supplies."
Seeing this situation, Qin Tian quickly found an excuse to stop him.
After all, when he was queuing up just now, Qin Tian already knew from the comments around him that this was a routine inquiry. It was said that this place was at the junction of three sects and was not peaceful all year round.
At this moment, after the monk registered, he threw a token and wrote "Qianling" in two small ancient seal scripts.
Seeing Qin Tian's expression of confusion, the monk explained impatiently:
"This is an identity token. For every month of stay in the city, Fang City will collect a low-grade spiritual stone. It will be settled when you leave the city. If the token is lost, you must pay the price! In addition, all fighting is prohibited in Qianling City, otherwise the law enforcement monks Will be evicted on the spot.”
Hearing this, Qin Tian couldn't help but frown, secretly thinking that Qianling City was really dark. No wonder such a large-scale air-forbidden formation was set up to collect spiritual stones!
However, Qianling City dares to act like this in the buffer area of the junction of the three sects. The forces behind it should not be simple!
While his mind was spinning, Qin Tian quietly raised his eyes and looked up.
On top of the city tower, monks in uniform uniforms were standing guard at regular intervals, and there were complex formations all over the city wall.
Such a battle is really nerve-wracking!
After shaking his head, Qin Tian no longer thought about it and walked towards the city.
However, shortly after entering the city gate, a clever voice came from the side:
"I dare to ask this young master, but he is new here?"
I saw a young man in green clothes, whose cultivation level was about the fourth level of Qi Refining. He was wearing a rather funny little melon-skin hat. His eyes were full of agility and he was looking at him expectantly.
"So what"
Qin Tian couldn't help but frown slightly when he saw this.
"Master, please don't misunderstand me. The younger one is called Tang Jin, and he makes a living as a guide in Qianling City."
Seeing Qin Tian's expression showing displeasure, the boy quickly explained.
"Guide?"
Qin Tian was immediately confused when he heard this.
"It's normal for the young master to not know anything when he first arrived. This Qianling City is quite prosperous. There are many shops in the city, and there are also many taboos. If the young master has any questions, the younger one can provide detailed introduction. In addition, if the young master has any questions, For transaction needs, I can also be responsible for matchmaking.”
After hearing this, Qin Tian came to his senses. At the same time, his heart moved slightly, and he asked expressionlessly:
"How much remuneration is required?"
"The small one charges one low-grade spiritual stone every day. This price is absolutely fair and guarantees that children and adults will not be deceived."
When Tang Jin heard this, he couldn't help but smile.
Qin Tian couldn't help but nodded secretly when he heard this. After all, he even spent the spiritual stones to enter the city, so he didn't care about the extra one or two.
So Qin Tian did not refuse, and after informing the young man Tang Jin of his future plans, he led him to the city's inner city.
Along the way, through the introduction of Tang Jin, Qin Tianfang learned a lot of inside information.
It turns out that the power behind this so-called Qianling City is actually the Rogue Cultivator Alliance. No wonder they dare to build such a foundation at the junction of the three sects.
As for the rumored Lord of Qianling City, he is a powerful Jindan-stage man with the Taoist name Qianling Sanren. He is one of the Supreme Elders of the Rogue Cultivator Alliance. He is also quite famous in the world of immortal cultivation in the endless demon sea. The senior master!
As for Qin Tian, who has been practicing so far, he has heard a little bit about mysterious forces such as the Loose Cultivator Alliance.
There are rumors that this alliance was founded by a certain strong casual cultivator. It specifically attracts powerful casual cultivators to join. It never participates in the battles between major forces and only exists in the form of a business alliance.
But there are rumors that the Rogue Cultivator Alliance has a very wide spread, covering almost the entire human race area of the Endless Sea of Monsters. Its strength is also very powerful, even comparable to the three major sects!
Although this statement is limited to rumors, it may not be groundless.
Because of this, Qin Tian also secretly felt a sense of awe and became much more cautious in his words and actions.
In the following time, the two of them walked quickly and passed through several lively streets.
During this period, Qin Tian also gained a lot of knowledge.
Although the city seems to be heavily guarded, inside it is actually a mixture of mortals and immortal cultivators.
The only difference is that mortals live in the outer city and do not need to pay spiritual stones to enter the city, while monks are mostly concentrated in the inner city area.
And because there are forbidden air formations all over the city, those with cultivation levels above the Golden Core stage cannot ignore them, so the two of them can only walk with the blessing of the Light Body Technique.
After about a stick of incense, the two of them gradually passed through the outer city and arrived at a slightly smaller city gate.
However, there are no monks on duty at this gate. There is only a transparent layer of low-level restrictions. The monks with spiritual power will not be blocked in any way.
But in the eyes of ordinary mortals, this place is a hard stone wall. If you force your way through, you will definitely hit your head and bleed.
After the two of them passed through the restriction, the noisy feeling in the outer city suddenly dissipated, and it was obvious that they had arrived at Fangshi.
I saw that the city was not small in size, with spacious streets crisscrossing each other and countless shops of various types on the roadside. It was almost endless as far as the eye could see. There were also many monks sitting on the ground with simple stalls in front of them.
Although the streets with people coming and going seem extremely lively, compared with the bustle of people in the outer city, this place is indeed "exceptionally quiet".
But Tang Jin did not stop, and led Qin Tian through the stall area. After turning a corner, a rather impressive shop suddenly came into view.
Then I saw that the lintel of the shop was carved with dragons and phoenixes, and the decoration was magnificent. A sandalwood signboard on the door beam read "Jubao Lou" in three large gold-lacquered characters.
"This "Treasure Building" is an industry of the Loose Cultivator Alliance. It is one of the best in Qianling City. There are all kinds of treasures in it. I think it can completely meet the needs of the young master."
After arriving at the scene, the Tang family quickly explained.
Hearing this, Qin Tian couldn't help but nodded, and immediately headed towards the lobby of the store.
There were two rows of exquisite wooden shelves in the hall, and magical instruments that emitted impressive spiritual power were arranged on them one after another.
Further back are several counters, including all kinds of elixirs, spiritual materials, spiritual talismans, and even elixirs, and even some unpopular items, such as monks' robes, female monks' rouge and gouache, etc. Breathtaking!
Next to every counter and wooden frame, there is a female nun with a delicate face and a beautiful face dressed in Tsing Yi, dressed as a maid, like a beautiful landscape.
Seeing this scene, Qin Tian couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Just based on the luxurious scene in this shop, it is not difficult to see how arrogant the loose cultivator alliance behind it is!
At the same time, there were many monks in the hall selecting treasures.
Qin Tian didn't hesitate when he saw this, and immediately started to shuttle around the wooden shelves and counters, carefully looking at the many treasures.
However, after walking around for a while, he was helpless to find that many of the magical instruments placed here were of medium and low grade. As for the more rare and high-grade magical instruments, he could not see any of them.
Just at this moment, a female cultivator dressed as a maid and with a cultivation level of the sixth level of Qi Refining came over from behind the counter. I saw that this girl was in her prime, with a pair of big, clear eyes. Although her face was ordinary, she was quite lovable.
She first nodded to Tang Jin, then smiled at Qin Tian and asked:
"My little girl Biqing has met this young master, but these magic weapons are not in his eyes?"
Hearing this, Qin Tian couldn't help but feel a move in his heart, and immediately politely raised his hands and said:
"Girl, what's your advice?"
"Master, please be patient. The hall on this floor is just some ordinary things. The real treasures are on the second floor. Master, just come with me."
After Biqing finished speaking softly, she pointed at the stairs to signal.
Qin Tian couldn't help but suddenly realized when he saw this, while Tang Jin on the side smiled and cupped his hands and said:
"Young Master, just go ahead and go. I'll just wait in the lobby on the first floor."
"That's fine. I'll just ask the girl to lead the way."
After saying this, Qin Tian followed Biqing to the second floor.
Compared with the exhibition hall on the first floor, the second floor is slightly smaller and is divided into many independent rooms, obviously to better protect customer privacy.
At this time, the atmosphere on the second floor was silent, and it was obvious that all the private rooms had soundproofing restrictions.
Seeing this situation, Qin Tian couldn't help but secretly praise him. This store was really considerate.
