Chapter 904: What a Big City
?
Wei Suo and Ling Longtian chatted through sound transmission while flying, and soon Duan Guang disappeared into the icy snow field here.
...
A few days later, Wei Suo, Ling Longtian, and a pockmarked monk appeared outside a certain city that was also icy and snowy.
This pock-marked monk is Long Juxing, the most fearful golden core monk that Wei Suo and Linglongtian have ever seen. The cyan fine gold armor on Long Juxing's body also has the defensive power of a middle-grade black rank, and With the wings protruding from the back, Fun is 30% faster than the Yipi Jiandun Wei Suo is using at the moment, but now this fine gold armor has been taken by Wei Suo and Linglongtian, and Long Muxing has also been taken down by Wei Suo. Abandoned the prohibition, put on makeup to become a pock-marked monk.
As for the elegant black-robed monk named Duan Wuya, after Wei Suo used the technique of the Yin Corpse Sect for a while, he actually begged for mercy, which made Wei Suo very despised. If this person can be tough to the end, Then he might still have some admiration for this person's backbone. In addition, Duan Wuya knew about the same as Long Muxing, so Wei Suo didn't kill him mercilessly.
The city in front of Wei Suo and Ling Longtian is Ningcui City, the first destination of Wei Suo's trip to the Lonely Cold Continent.
According to what Long Muxing said, there is a condensing alchemy workshop in Ningcui City, which is the workshop with the highest level of alchemy in the southern part of the Lonely Cold Continent, and many hard-to-refine elixirs come from this workshop.
Along the way, Wei Suo and Ling Longtian learned a lot of useful information about the monastic world of the Lonely Cold Continent from Long Juxing.
Xiaojijie, Great Cold Palace, Yuhua Family, Changsun Family, and Zhenlei Sect, the five major sects of the Lonely Cold Continent, happen to be divided into east, south, west, north, and middle, and some of them occupy a large area. The meaning of the site.
There are a lot of demon pills produced in the lonely cold continent, but the number of fire-type and thunder-type monsters is very small, so the monks who major in lightning and fire-type arts in the lonely cold continent are more powerful than monks of other types of arts. Much less. In addition, the production of some auxiliary elixir for refining elixir is also less, and many of them are obtained through trading with other continents, so the price of many elixir is slightly more expensive than that of Tianxuan Continent and Yunling Continent.
These five super-level forces must have the existence of Shenxuan power. On the bright side, Long Muxing knows that he knows the extreme yin god of the small extreme world, the master of the great cold palace, and the thunder of the true thunder sect. Chishenjun, as well as the genius monk Yuhua Yingtian among the senior monks of the Yuhua family, and Yuhua Ruoxing among the young monks of this generation are the cultivation bases of the gods.
It is said that Yuhua Yingtian is a genius monk with amazing fortunes. He had already broken through the Mystery of God when he was in his forties, and it has been more than eighty years since now. No one knows what his current cultivation level is. how much. Now the Yuhua family is basically represented by Yuhua Ruoxing and Yuhua Yinglong, the contemporary patriarch of the Yuhua family.
Whether it is the Yuhua family or the eldest grandson family,
They acted in a very secretive way, so the outside world didn't know who the grandson's family was, and how many were the grandson's and Yuhua's families.
Anyway, before Wei Suo came to the Lonely Cold Continent, his initial judgment should have been correct. There should be more Mysterious Gods in the Lonely Cold Continent than the Yunling Continent and the Profound Sky Continent, and their cultivation bases It may be even more astonishing, otherwise the Yuhua family would not be confidently preparing to invade the cultivation world of Yunling Continent.
The ancient teleportation array outside the Yunling Continent is connected to the southern sky of the Lonely Cold Continent. This area is the site of the Great Cold Palace. This made Wei Suo and Linglongtian very suspicious, whether it was the Great Cold Palace who conspired with the Yuhua Family, or if the Yuhua Family invaded the Yunling Continent through the territory of the Great Cold Palace, it would definitely be inconvenient.
After entering the Lonely Cold Continent, Wei Suo has gained a deeper understanding of the "Large Land and Sparse City" of the Lonely Cold Continent along the way.
After three or four days of non-stop rushing down, according to Long Muxing's guidance, this Ningcui City was actually only the first monk city that Wei Suo and others passed by along the way!
According to the density of monk cities in the Profound Sky Continent and Yunling Continent, even if they were driving in such a straight direction, in such a vast area, they would have to see at least six or seven cities along the way.
And the reason why they rushed straight to this city, instead of rushing to the nearest nearby city first, and then transiting through the teleportation array, was because at least half of the cities in the Lonely Cold Continent had no teleportation array at all.
The transmission of news between many cities relies on caravans or specially hired monk organizations. Generally, each city has hundreds of such organizations every day. It is staggered, so it is not very blocked to pass the message.
Through the conversation with Long Juxing, Wei Suo and Linglongtian even learned that the Lonely Cold Continent is so sparsely populated that even within the sky, there are many areas that monks have not ascertained. There are very few monks entering the large inexplicable and dangerous places.
If it weren't for the fact that there were not as many monsters as outside the sky, Wei Suo and Linglongtian felt that the Lonely Cold Continent would be almost like a wilderness.
So both of them secretly felt that the other continents didn't know, but as far as they knew about the Profound Sky Continent, Yunling Continent, and Jihan Continent, if the sky completely collapsed, the most suitable one would be for sure. It's this Lonely Cold Continent.
And now seeing the whole picture of Ningcui City clearly, Wei Suo and Ling Longtian were shocked again.
The scale of this emerald city can only be described as terrifying.
Most of the cities in Yunling Continent and Tianxuan Continent are built on the hillside. The small one is a hill like Lingyue City, and the big one is a mountain range at most. Small cities can accommodate tens of thousands of monks, and large cities There are only four or five million resident monks at the top.
But right now, Ningcui City is actually surrounded by four or five mountain ranges. On each mountain range, even in the valleys and at the foot of the mountains, there are densely packed buildings.
This kind of scale makes people feel like a monastic empire that has appeared in the history of the monastic world, and the number of monks that can accommodate it is probably at least a million or more!
"This emerald green city is located in the southern part of your Lonely Cold Continent. In terms of the size of the city, where does it rank?" Wei Suo couldn't help seeing such a scene where all the monks gathered in his sight. Glancing at Long Muxing, he asked.
"Ningcui City is a place where all kinds of elixir are traded in the Lonely Cold Continent. The scale of the city is considered large, but it can be ranked fourth." Long Muxing is like Wei Suo's servant at the moment. Hearing Wei Suo's question, he immediately He quickly replied respectfully.
"Fourth?" Wei Suo suddenly rolled his eyes in secret. Although Ye Guwei and others mentioned it before, because of the inconvenience of traveling, the cities in the Lonely Cold Continent are relatively large in scale and rich in resources. What do you want to buy? Most of the things can be bought, but he did not expect that it would be more than five times larger than the equivalent cities in Yunling Continent and Tianxuan Continent.
"By the way, it seems that seniors don't seem to know much about this Ningcui City. This Ningcui City is different from the Yunling Continent city where senior is located. It is a city governed by monks." Long Muxing said flatteringly, "In Ningcui City The city cannot be restrained, you can fly away."
"What do monks self-govern the city? Is there no school to govern?" Wei Suo was slightly startled, looking at Long Muxing and asked.
"What the seniors said is right. Ningcui City is completely for monks to take care of themselves, and monks can fight directly." Long Juxing said flatteringly, "However, all legitimate shops are protected by major sects and aristocratic families. Whoever robs the shops , will be the public enemy of the entire Lonely Cold Continent."
"Really? How many such cities are there in the Lonely Cold Continent?" Wei Suo was a little curious. It seems that there is no such city in the Yunling Continent, and there is one in the Profound Sky Continent. But Longevity City, where the Spirit Beast Palace is located, is somewhat similar.
"Probably more than half."
"It's more than half?"
Wei Suo and Long Muxing chatted a few more words, and learned that the Lonely Cold Continent is very different from the Tianxuan Continent and the Yunling Continent, because the land is vast and the cities are sparse, and most of the trade and contacts rely on For the shops at the bottom and the low-level monk organizations, the shops and most of the low-level monk organizations are equivalent to the most basic blood relationship in the cold continent, so all the big sects in the cold continent are very important for the shops and low-level monks in each city. Organizations have joint protection.
This is equivalent to the fact that no matter how big sects and big forces compete, the soil where they take root must be well protected, and everyone's common job should not be smashed.
And it is the mutual restraint between these big sects and the joint protection of shops and square markets, which also prevents these shops and square markets from being controlled by a certain big force.
Moreover, even Da Zongmen's own market, in this environment, has to compete fairly with all other markets and shops, and there is no competition to overwhelm others. Over time, it doesn't make much sense to run shops and markets by itself. And maybe it's not as good as the shops and squares on the ground floor.
So, completely different from the Profound Sky Continent and the Yunling Continent, the big sects and powers in the Lonely Cold Continent seldom control any big cities.
"I don't know if senior wants to go directly to the Condensing Pill Workshop, or go shopping elsewhere in Ningcui City first?" Just as Wei Suo and Linglongtian were secretly talking and felt that the Lonely Cold Continent was indeed very different, Long Muxing Asked kindly again.
"Go to Ningdanfang first." Wei Suo gave such an order to Long Muxing, and when Long Muxing nodded respectfully and led the way ahead, Wei Suo asked casually, "Ningcui City and other Compared with the city, is there anything unique that can be visited?"
"There is also a strange treasure garden that is very unique, you can visit it." Long Muxing replied immediately.
"What kind of place is Qibaoyuan?" Wei Suo glanced at Long Muxing and asked.
"It is a place where many strange and unknown things are specially placed that most monks don't know. Some Nafang City may know the purpose, and some may not even know them. Most of them have a price, and you can buy them directly if you like them. Go, after you buy it, they will tell you if they know the purpose, and if they don't know, then you can only find someone else to appraise it." Long Muxing seemed to think that Qibao Garden is a very interesting place, and there was something in his eyes. Lighted up, "There is also a treasure gambling workshop in the Qibao Garden, which has closed a lot of treasures. They are all at the same price. Anyway, you can't look at them, you can only buy them directly. Some of the treasures are far from the same price. If you It’s a big deal if you pick it just right, but some things are cheap, if you pick it up, you’ll suffer a lot.”
