They continued on their way, but the speed was not as anxious as the previous few days. The speed slowed down and they could also enjoy the scenery outside.

"Nanzhou is so prosperous, no matter where you go, it's lively."

"Yeah, look, they sell fish there. I've never seen that kind of fish before."

Listening to his parents talking on the horse, Yu Heng looked in a good mood. The corners of his mouth curled up, thinking that when he first came to Nanzhou, he didn't have many crystal coins on his body, so Yucheng where he settled was a little more remote. Now that I have saved a sum of crystal coins, if my parents like it, I can rent a new house to live in Mingying City.

He was thinking while driving the carriage, and casually looked over at the stall next to him. The vendors there were shouting: "Come on, come on! The fish from the Endless Sea are full of spiritual energy. Eating them will make you live longer. We only sell this for a year." If you want to buy something, hurry up!”

"Uu——"

The carriage stopped, Yu Heng jumped out of the car and squeezed into the stall. He looked at the fat fish, carefully identified them, and selected the best variety. However, he said: "Boss, your fish doesn't look fresh. wilt.”

The boss put his hands on his hips and said in defense: "You don't understand how far away the Endless Sea is. From here to the Endless Sea, even if you take a flying magic weapon, it will take four months. It goes back and forth. How can this fish get out of the sea?" It's so lively." Someone else asked why he didn't use a preservation weapon, and the boss laughed: "Old man, if I could afford such a good thing, I wouldn't have to work hard to sell fish!"

He carried the fish back to the carriage with a straw rope: "Father, take it, I'll find an inn and borrow the kitchen to cook it."

"Okay!" Father Yu happily took it. He had just told his wife that he had never seen this kind of fish before, so his son went to buy it and wanted to have a good taste.

After arriving at the inn, Yu Heng went to borrow the kitchen. He didn't let his parents do anything. This is a spiritual beast, and its scales are hard and difficult to scratch, so he had to do it himself.

Skillfully cut open the chest and dig out the internal organs——

What's this? Yu Heng took a closer look at the dug-out internal organs, then looked at the black belly of the fish, and his expression suddenly changed. The fish in the Endless Sea has been eroded by demonic energy. This fish cannot be eaten!

He returned to the fish stall. The place where the stall was located was already empty. He asked a nearby stall owner to ask. The man said that the fish were sold out and the boss had left long ago.

"It's great. The business is so good. It's nothing like me..."

Is it just that one or are all the fish like this? Yu Heng thought as he returned to the inn, no, even if there is only one Ranma at the beginning, if it stays in the same water body and eats and drinks together, it will definitely spread. In addition, the people who feed it are in close contact with each other every day, and the human body cannot handle it. live!

He found the city guard and showed them the dead fish on hand, hoping that they would pay attention to the people in the city who had bought fish.

After returning to the inn, he talked about this matter with his parents and Cui Nan, and combined with the changes in business in the store: "I guess it was brought out by the monks who went to the secret realm." At the same time, the elixir for dealing with evil energy was The sales of medicinal talismans and seal scripts are good, and the appearance of evil spirits makes it difficult for people to combine the two.

"Mom and Dad, let's go to Mingying City first." The change in the general environment made Yu Heng feel a little panicked.

They continued on their way. The owner of the town behind them had some channels. As soon as they heard about the endless sea and the devil's energy, they associated it with each other. They quickly sent people to investigate, and sure enough, they found more than a dozen monks and mortals who were haunted by the devil's energy. The monk's condition was not bad, but the mortal's condition was much worse. Even Qingchunhei was about to die. When he checked, everything inside was filled with black water, and he was completely hopeless.

Hurry up and send out some exorcism pills. You don't care if you feel bad or not. If the monks become demons, all the mortals in the city will not survive! At the same time, news was released that seafood from the Endless Sea will be banned from entering the city from now on.

After arriving at Mingying City, everyone took a deep breath and felt that the air here was better. Yu Heng and Cui Nan felt that the aura here was richer than that in Yu City. It was indeed the town closest to the Congying Sect. , if you get a blessing, it will be much better than elsewhere.

Of course, the consumption here is also very high. Prices are ten times or more than those in Yucheng, not to mention house prices and store prices. There is a price but no market. No one is a fool, how could we not come to such a good place?

Yu Heng first rented a room in the inn, then went out with Cui Nan to set up a stall selling elixirs and talismans.

Mingying City is really prosperous! In fact, Yucheng is also a densely populated place. After all, the town is within the jurisdiction of Cong Yingzong, but Mingying City is more prosperous. The streets are crowded with people, shops are connected one after another, and stalls are set up one after another. The shouting starts at dawn and continues until the lights are brightly lit at night, making the night market even more lively.

After finding a place, they gave gifts to the vendors on the left and right, and asked them to move and squeeze to create a small space where only two people could fit. Yu Heng and Cui Nan started selling things.

Considering the location here, there are many monks who have a high demand for mid-level elixirs and talismans, so Yu Heng also took out the intermediate elixirs and talismans with some consideration.

Here I want to talk about the grade classification of elixirs and talismans. Both of them have four levels, namely low-level, mid-level, high-level and top-level. However, the level of an elixir or talisman is not static. For example, the Foundation Establishment Pill is a mid-level pill, which is limited to the pill formula. However, if it is refined extremely well, it may become a high-level pill based on its quality. The effect of breaking through the Foundation Establishment bottleneck will definitely be better.

Top-quality items are hard to come by and rarely circulate in the market of the cultivation world. Even if there are any, they are the bottom of the box. If you want to exchange them, they will not appear in ordinary stores. You are more likely to see them at major auctions. Therefore, the middle and high-level items are consumed more.

It would be too conspicuous to set up a stall to sell high-level items. He and Cui Nan could not protect them, so he chose the middle-level ones, which would attract a wide audience and not be too conspicuous.

In the past, in the Yucheng store, they sold low-level Qi-inducing pills, Qingling pills, and Qi-refining powders. The only middle-level pill was the foundation-building pill. Now he has replaced them all with middle-level ones, plus the Bigu pill and the Huiling pill that can restore spiritual power in a short time, which is about the same.

In terms of talismans, he also replaced the low-level ones with middle-level ones, such as the ice talisman, the flame talisman, the wind talisman and other commonly used combat talismans. Finally, he thought about it and added the thunder talisman and the filth-removing talisman. Although these two types are not very effective against demonic energy and are not as good as the high-level talismans and exorcism talismans, they can also have a 60% effect.

In short, there weren't many things, but they looked barely enough. They were all things that cultivators could use. As soon as the sign was put up, a passing cultivator came to ask.

"What kind of elixirs do you have? Do you have the True Spirit Pill?" The cultivator asked casually, and Yu Heng answered casually: "No." The True Spirit Pill can improve the foundation-building period, so he didn't sell it. By now, the fire points needed to buy these things have become a trivial matter. He has no shortage of fire points, so the focus is on whether the things are safe to take out. Although the True Spirit Pill is sold cheaply in the system, it is not cheap in this world.

He reported a string of elixir names, and the cultivator checked the goods and paid out crystal coins to buy the elixir and several talismans.

Compared with Yucheng, the guard order of Mingying City is more comprehensive and orderly. To use a saying in the secular world, this is the foot of the emperor. There are people who dare to cause trouble, but now they have disappeared. Over time, the order here has become better. This cultivator looked like he was in the foundation building stage, but he didn't dare to snatch it directly from Yu Heng and Cui Nan, who were only in the Qi Refining stage.

The crystal coins were put into the cloth bag, and Yu Heng tightened the mouth and put it in the backpack. He sat cross-legged with the backpack on his chest.

The business was neither good nor bad at the end of the day. After paying the management fee, he made a decent profit. He made an appointment with the vendors on both sides to come again tomorrow and asked them to help make some space. He took two bottles of Qi-inducing pills from him. The two vendors were very happy. They were all ordinary people. This cultivator was so easy to talk to and generous. They must have agreed in a good tone and said, "I will definitely make space for you."

The business on the first day went smoothly. Later, Yu's father and mother followed Yu Heng to go there several times, and they all thought Mingying City was good.

"No one collects protection fees!" Yu's mother's calculations were crackling. In Yucheng, protection fees are collected. If it is long, it will be paid once a month, and sometimes it will be paid every half a decade, and the amount often changes. The air here is good, and it makes people feel comfortable both physically and mentally.

Yu Heng smiled and said, "Then let's work hard to set up stalls, set up one more, and save money to buy a house as soon as possible."

The family actually had enough crystal coins to buy a house, but this way there would be no extra money for food, so Yu's mother nodded and said that it would be better to save more money.

The Yu family and Cui Nan were working hard to buy a house in Mingying City, but the situation in the southeast of Nanzhou could no longer be concealed and broke out. Speaking of which, there was demonic energy in such a far place as Yucheng, so how could the Nanzhou town closest to the Endless Sea be an exception?

It has been more than two years and one month since the appearance of the Demon Realm on Zhenmiao Continent. From the time Zhenwei Continent, Zhenxing Continent, and Zhentao Continent received the news to the time they prepared to cross the Endless Sea, a year had passed. After that, there was the pursuit of various forces. How could the cultivators of Zhenmiao Continent let people from other continents share the pie?

Therefore, you kept it a secret and fought each other, and neither wanted to let the other enter the secret realm. When the ancient demonic realm descended, the vast secret realm crushed half of the Zhenmiao continent and a small part of the Endless Sea. The demonic energy flowed and spread in the sea. Even if the cultivators of the Zhenmiao continent later tried their best to block the gap to prevent the demonic energy from dispersing, the demonic energy that should have dispersed had already dispersed.

Where to chase and destroy the demonic energy in the sea? Besides, those cultivators didn't have the time, so the Endless Sea suffered.

The Endless Sea is so big that it cannot be measured. The creatures in it are not stupid and ignorant. Most of them are monsters obtained through cultivation, which are called demon cultivators. There are those with spiritual intelligence, and there are certainly those without spiritual intelligence. They eat the demonic energy into their stomachs with a casual bite. Under the food chain, the demonic energy is passed layer by layer, and the rotten marine creatures are constantly piling up. Those who are not dead yet are roaming wildly under the torture of the demonic energy.

The Endless Sea is indeed very large, but after years, it is not impossible to reach the coast of the next continent.

The fishing industry is quite developed in the towns along the coast of Nanzhou. The border of the Endless Sea has long been developed into a safe area. The spiritual fish caught are sold everywhere and have always been very popular. The first to suffer are also those fishing towns.

The speed of the demonic energy invading from the outside and entering the abdomen is still different. The local immortal cultivation sects tried their best to suppress it, but they were helpless against the poisoning of the whole city. Nine out of ten houses in the city were empty, and the effect of using formations to seal the city to prevent the demonic energy from leaking out was not good. After all, the sea is so big. If you seal the city, can you also seal the sea? Can you seal the air?

The black fog went inland as if it had life, and on the way it echoed with the places where local demonic energy disasters broke out due to eating sea fish, like a fire stick igniting a dead tree, exploding with a bang, showing the momentum of sparks and prairie fire.
