Chapter 717: Exploration (I)

The strong prey on the weak, the only rule in the world of immortal cultivation. Unless you know you can't win, you must endure humiliation and live.

Otherwise, when you need to intimidate the other party, you must not be cautious. It is obvious that those people have bad intentions towards him.

As for those white demons, they didn't provoke him. Although they were staring at him, they didn't release their spiritual consciousness. Li Yan certainly wouldn't cause trouble.

He is still very unfamiliar with the Lost Continent.

The information obtained in Shan Yiyuan's village.

First, it has not been confirmed, and the truth is still to be discussed;

Second, mortals are mortals after all. Although the intersection between immortals and mortals in the Lost Continent is considered frequent, mortals will definitely not really understand the affairs of immortal cultivators.

Li Yan came to Mingdu City this time for only two purposes, one is to pass his message to Zhao Min; the other is to see how to take the opportunity to find Zhao Min's location.

Zhao Min also planted the "Heart-binding Gu" on her body, and she must know that she is still alive.

Li Yan just wants to let Zhao Min know that he has understood the meaning of her sound transmission note, and at the same time show that he is also looking for her.

If these two messages can be passed on, the following matters can be handled according to circumstances.

However, Li Yan knew that it might be extremely difficult to find Zhao Min. He could guess it just by looking at the fact that the other party took Zhao Min away before he woke up, and the hidden meaning in Zhao Min's message.

A few miles away, for a cultivator, even if walking, it would be a very fast thing.

There were ten demon soldiers standing on both sides of the city gate in distinct armor.

Li Yan swept his spiritual sense and found that the cultivation of the ten soldiers was only in the Qi Condensation Stage, and the highest captain was only in the Qi Condensation Great Perfection Stage.

For Li Yan, this kind of cultivation was no threat to hundreds or thousands of people. If the other party wanted to use up his spiritual power, he would have already rushed out and flew away.

Li Yan quickly approached the city gate. Just as he approached the city gate, something flashed out from the top of the city, and then a red light shone on his body.

This made Li Yan slightly startled, and he wanted to dodge, but his reaction was also very fast, because he did not sense any danger from the red light.

He immediately returned to normal, and he saw that the red light was not aimed at him alone, but several flashes appeared at the same time, shooting at the other people in front of him at the same time.

Those people obviously knew about this long ago, and their bodies did not move at all. Li Yan immediately understood.

Those people were like Li Yan, with spiritual power fluctuations on their bodies, without exception, they were all cultivators.

And there was no red light falling on the mortals who entered and exited the city gate.

The moment the red light fell on Li Yan, Li Yan felt a slight fluctuation in his sea of ​​consciousness, and then there was no movement.

This red light was clearly a magic weapon for detecting cultivators. As for what realm it could detect, Li Yan did not know.

At the same time, he was thinking in his heart that if he completely used "Stealth at Night" and hid all his spiritual power, would he still be sensed. <

br>

This thought was just a flash, just curiosity, he didn't want to do this kind of test here.

All the cultivators who were hit by the red light were stopped by the demon soldiers guarding the gate.

They did not show respect to Li Yan and his companions because their cultivation was higher than theirs, but began to check them one by one in detail with expressionless faces.

As for the mortals, no soldiers stopped them and allowed them to enter and exit the city gate.

It was obvious that the demon soldiers here also trusted the magic weapon on the city gate very much, and did not want to call for manpower to check again.

When Li Yan was questioned by a demon soldier, he quickly discovered the difference between others.

The three white demon cultivators who had just followed him took out a token that looked like the sect's logo.

The soldiers at the city gate only checked them roughly, and then let them go after each of them paid two low-level spirit stones.

Li Yan and another cultivator were questioned in detail, and they were asked what they wanted to do in the city, etc.

However, the significance of this questioning was not very great in Li Yan's view, because it was not easy to distinguish the authenticity, but the other party still recorded it.

Li Yan just said that he was a casual cultivator and that it was his first time to come to Mingdu City to buy some things.

The other party did not make it difficult. After asking some questions, he also asked him to pay two low-level spirit stones and gave Li Yan a temporary token with his identity.

The demon soldier saw that Li Yan handed over the spirit stones without hesitation, and the dull look on his face finally eased a little.

Then he gave a detailed reminder of the precautions for entering the city and let him go.

For these, it is not much different from the Desolate Moon Continent, except that you cannot fly in the city, you cannot fight with others in the city, etc.

There are two Jindans sitting here every day. As long as you are not afraid of death, you can do whatever you want. It is normal to attract Yuanying strongmen to suppress you.

"Mortals here are more casual, they can come and go freely without paying any fees.

There are also immortal cultivators here. If those mortals encounter trouble outside, they will rush into the city for safety. Isn't it troublesome?"

Li Yan thought in his heart, and felt that it was more reasonable to divide the area here than the Pure Land Sect before.

As soon as Li Yan entered the city, he saw shops lined up on the streets and people moving around.

He immediately sensed the breath of many mortals, and the number was far greater than that of cultivators.

There are many creatures walking on the streets with animal bodies and human faces, or with human faces and animal bodies, or with completely animal bodies.

Of course, he also saw some human monks here, but Li Yan had no intention of getting close to him. Others would not think they were of the same race, so

What would it mean to help him?

In everything he does, he must do as the Romans do and not leave an impression on anyone. This is Li Yan's way of doing things.

Those alien monks who are completely in animal bodies either don't like to change into human form, or they don't have enough cultivation to support the transformation, but they all have spiritual power or demonic energy fluctuations in their bodies.

When the mortals on the street met Li Yan and the others, they didn't make much of a fuss except for having respectful expressions on their faces and ducking aside.

You know that this is usually the case here. In the eyes of Li Yan and others, the so-called alien races are actually monsters or monsters of a certain race.

In the eyes of these white demon mortals or other creatures, Li Yan is not a foreign being.

But those who honor each other by a certain race are often powerful beings of that race.

Although they are still monsters or monsters in the eyes of others, they are usually called by their race-specific titles, such as human race, demon race, dragon race, phoenix race, etc.

These extremely powerful races in the world are generally named according to their race, unlike the weaker races, which are usually collectively referred to as monsters and monsters. ????

Li Yan walked inconspicuously among the "people". He did not go directly to the store called Baidao Tianbao Pavilion, but first walked around aimlessly in Mingdu City.

With his acting style, how could he come to the door so easily without knowing a little bit about the other party?

In this way, after Li Yan wandered around the city casually for about two hours, he basically walked through the Ming capital.

Among them, he also saw the Baidao Tianbao Pavilion, but after just a glance, he left directly from the door.

After that, I visited a few material stores, and after purchasing a nearby map and some books introducing the Lost Continent, I entered an inn.

I spent another five low-level spiritual stones to rent a room with a defensive formation for two days.

Under the extremely respectful gaze of the mortal shop waiter, Li Yan took a palm-sized yellow flag and entered the room directly and closed the door.

With a casual wave of the yellow flag, the defensive formation in the room was activated, completely isolating the room from the outside world.

After Li Yan entered the room, he quickly checked the room with his spiritual consciousness. After sensing the outside for a while, he found nothing unusual, and then nodded with satisfaction.

The formation in this room is quite good. Li Yan can sense that the formation's restrictions can serve as a warning to monks below the Golden Core level, but the defense is not satisfactory.

It is still possible to simply defend against the Qi Condensation Stage monks, but the most important thing in the city is to give a warning.

Although the formation was good, Li Yan still felt that the Mingdu City Inn was a bit expensive.

Even an ordinary room without a defensive formation requires one spiritual stone per night. One spiritual stone can stay in some places for several days.

some small sects

It would be considered good if a disciple could get two spiritual stones in a month.

Li Yan now understood why those mortals could be allowed to enter the city at will.

Unless you are doing something to make a living in the city, you will definitely have to leave the city and go home before dark. The inns here are not affordable for ordinary people.

Li Yan remembered that when he was chatting with the old people of the White Demon Clan in the village, he learned that they only paid tribute to eight spiritual stones in the area under their jurisdiction every year.

In a village of nearly a hundred people, the last remaining spiritual stones are only about fifteen or six pieces at most, which they earned through hard work. On average, the entire village only dares to use one spiritual stone a month. You can imagine how precious it is. And know.

Immediately, Li Yan placed the small yellow flag on the table and sat down next to the table.

He began to quickly outline the locations he had walked in the city one by one in his mind, and then connected them one by one to form a map of the locations of roads and shops.

Soon, Li Yan formed a rough map of the Ming capital in his mind.

Then he took out the map he purchased and the map he had sketched in his mind and began to compare them one by one.

The maps that can be purchased in such stores are often within a thousand miles, and some are within ten thousand miles.

This kind of map is enough for mortals to use, but it is far from enough for immortal cultivators.

It's just that although there are maps that are more than ten thousand miles away, they are frighteningly expensive and often cost dozens or even hundreds of low-level spiritual stones to purchase.

This is still based on luck and someone happens to be selling it.

The map Li Yan bought today is about five thousand miles away. It is the largest and best map that can be purchased in Mingdu City.

It cost Li Yan seven spiritual stones. Although Li Yan was now rich, he got many storage bags from dead people in the battle at Fengliang Mountain alone.

In addition to spiritual stones, there were of course a lot of elixirs, talismans, magic weapons, spiritual weapons and the like in the bag, but he didn't have time to deal with them yet.

Li Yan is also aware of the preciousness of maps. For example, when he was in Desolate Moon Continent, he once went to the Pure Land Sect in order to return home from the Sprite Sect.

The huge maps needed are all privately owned by the sect and Wei Zhongran, and cannot be purchased outside.

Those huge maps are often regarded as treasures by a certain sect or individual.

The reason is still for cultivation resources, such as a sect accidentally discovering a rare monster in a sea area.

As long as he does not mark this map, there will be fewer cultivators who can share it.

If the location is even more uninhabited and extremely dangerous, maybe he is the only one who knows it for decades or hundreds of years, then he can get a lot more cultivation resources than some people.

Li Yan began to compare the map of Mingdu City one by one.
