Chapter 226: I will sell myself to rebel against Tian Gang
At the city gate, Lu Wenwu, who was queuing to enter the city, squinted his eyes and looked up.
This means that the ten-meter-high city wall’s defensive power against monks cannot be said to be completely useless, but at least it is completely useless.
Not to mention the Foundation Establishment Stage, even a martial arts master with better lightness skills could dodge and move past easily.
I guess it just serves to divide the inner and outer cities.
It was afternoon and there were not many people coming and going at the city gate.
There were almost no people going out, and most of those coming in were low-level monks who were hunting or gathering.
Maybe the harvest today was good, so we went back early.
Soon, it was Lu Wenwu's turn.
He imitated the previous person and took out a low-grade spirit stone and handed it over.
"Stay for a month."
Because of the lingering spiritual veins and spirit gathering formations in Tianxing City, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is richer than that of the outside world.
In order to prevent a large number of casual cultivators from coming in for free, Tianxing City will charge some basic fees, so as to dissuade many people who do not want to spend money on companionship.
"Brother, keep this. This is your certificate. You can enter and exit Tianxing City freely within one month. If the time is about to expire, the star on the star card will flash red as a reminder."
The young cultivator in the late Qi Refining stage took the spirit stone, handed an iron plate engraved with a white star to Lu Wenwu, and smiled at him.
"This Taoist brother looks unfamiliar, but is this your first time in Tianxing City?"
Having spent a long time at the city gate, he had seen many different kinds of monks and had developed the ability to identify people and things.
I can't say for sure, but there's a 90% chance it's true.
Although he couldn't see through Lu Wenwu's specific cultivation level, he could feel the fierce aura coming from him at a glance, as well as the look in his eyes that showed he didn't care about anything and was just looking around out of curiosity.
Judging from experience, this person should be an experienced monk who has been fighting monsters outside for many years.
Maybe he was passing by here and went into the city to buy some materials and supplies and take a short rest.
Purchasing a month's worth of city entry qualifications at a time shows that his family is quite wealthy and he has plenty of spirit stones.
"It's indeed your first time here. What's the matter?" Lu Wenwu looked at him puzzledly.
"Brother Dao, you misunderstood. I didn't mean anything else."
The young monk smiled and turned sideways, extending his palm to gesture to the several young Qi-refining monks waiting in the doorway.
"Our Tianxing City has a history of hundreds of years, and the types of businesses in the city are diverse and of varying quality. Brother Dao is new here, so if you have specific business to handle, it's inevitable that you will have to spend some trivial energy."
"These young cultivators are very knowledgeable about the city. If you need one, you can rent one as a guide or servant. During the rental period, they will be knowledgeable and attentive, saving you a lot of time dealing with miscellaneous matters."
"Huh? You have an official tour guide here? That's strange." Lu Wenwu was very surprised.
As he often read novels in his previous life, he was naturally familiar with this special profession in the world of cultivating immortals.
However, this time it was actually an official production, and it sounded like they could rent it out for a long time and let him do some menial work, which surprised Lu Wenwu.
"What's the price?" Lu Wenwu couldn't help but ask.
The young monk immediately replied, "If it were an ordinary guide, the fee would be one low-grade spirit stone per hour, starting from the moment you enter the city gate. Our guides are like walking maps and encyclopedias of Tianxing City, absolutely worth the money."
"If you're renting as an assistant, the cost is 15 low-grade spirit stones per day. The standard working hours are six hours per day. You can set your own schedule."
"Of course, if you want him to work longer hours, you can negotiate the price with him. But I hope you will remember that Tianxing City is not an ordinary city for independent cultivators. Forceful coercion of guides is not allowed in the city."
"If you would like to rent an assistant, you will need to register your name and temporary address. I apologize for any inconvenience this may cause."
Now Lu Wenwu has formed his first impression of the Tianxing Sect.
regular.
This service industry is doing very well.
The management is currently in good order, and the gathering place for external mortals is also well planned.
The most outrageous thing is that he even protects the rights and interests of the monks working under him.
From what the other party said, this is unique to Tianxing City.
When it comes to protecting the rights and interests of monks, we can be said to be far ahead.
"Interesting. I'll need a guide then." Lu Wenwu nodded slightly. "A smart guy."
"I guarantee that Brother Dao will be satisfied." The young monk bowed, "Xiao Wu, serve this Brother Dao well."
"yes."
The young man named Xiao Wu, who was at the third level of Qi Refining, immediately came out and saluted Lu Wenwu with a smile.
"Hello, Senior. You can just call me Xiaowu."
"Xiao Wu? Hey, that's a good name. When I was walking around in the martial arts world, people also called me Fifth Brother. It's destined that you and I will meet."
Lu Wenwu suddenly felt interested, and casually grabbed a handful of spirit stones and stuffed them into the other party's hand without even looking at them.
It's free anyway, so it doesn't matter how much you give.
Xiao Wu was stunned by the clattering, green, and heavy handful of spirit stones. He had to grab his robe to hold them.
Now he was holding a handful of spirit stones in his arms in a daze, feeling a little at a loss.
There have been generous sponsors who have given rewards in the past.
But this is the first time that such a large reward has been given.
Especially when he hasn't done anything at all.
Not only him and the young boys and girls who were waiting next to him, but even the young cultivator who had been neither humble nor arrogant before, and the other Qi-refining cultivators who were queuing up were all staring in amazement.
A low-grade spirit stone is about the size of a bottle cap and is a very regular polyhedron.
Lu Wenwu's big hand, like a palm-leaf fan, grabbed at least dozens of pieces.
Including that young cultivator, many Qi-refining cultivators couldn't earn so many spirit stones in half a month!
This is undoubtedly a huge sum of money.
The young monk swallowed his saliva and patted Xiao Wu on the shoulder: "This is a reward from Fifth Brother. Why don't you put it away quickly and thank Fifth Brother?"
Xiao Wu finally reacted and shuddered as he bowed to Lu Wenwu.
"Thank you, Senior Five, for the reward! Thank you, Senior Five, for the reward!"
"Kneeling is not allowed here, just bow. Stand up and show me around. Also, call me Fifth Brother."
"Yes, Fifth Brother."
The one who paid was the uncle. Xiao Wu had met some customers who had some quirks in addressing others before, so he changed his address accordingly.
After putting away the spirit stone, he stood up from the ground, bowed, and led Lu Wenwu towards the city.
"I wonder what you would like to know first?"
"It doesn't matter. Just think of me as a tourist. Just wander around and find something interesting."
"In that case, please follow me this way, Senior."
After understanding the needs of this big money sponsor, Xiao Wu took Lu Wenwu directly forward along the main road.
"Senior, please take a look. This is a well-known casino in the city, and they're very clean. While there are occasionally lucky individuals who become rich overnight, most people lose nine out of ten. There are often cultivators who have lost all their wealth and end their lives at the Soul-Breaking Cliff."
casino?
Lu Wenwu has no interest in gambling, so naturally he won't go there.
"This is the Tianxiang Danmen's medicine shop. They have a complete range of elixirs, and they can also provide elixirs for the Golden Core stage. However, you need to make an order in advance and wait for Tianxiang Danmen to deliver it."
Pill?
This sounds interesting.
Lu Wenwu walked over and took a quick look, then left with a look of disappointment.
The quality of these pills is too poor, completely inferior to those produced in the system mall, and he has absolutely no desire to buy them.
"This is a sundry shop opened by the Tianxing Sect in the city. They sell some common items and resources. If you have any sundry items you want to sell, they also do recycling. The prices are fair, but a little low, but fair."
"The right side is the weapon refining gate."
“This one belongs to the Talisman Sect.”
"here it is"
"The Tianxing Sect is really good at business. They've even created a whole commercial street."
Listening to Xiaowu's introduction, Lu Wenwu felt as if he was walking on a pedestrian commercial street.
The Tianxingcheng Commercial Street is neither long nor short.
I just took a quick look and soon I was walking from the city gate to the end of the street.
Lu Wenwu held a handful of spirit stones in his hands, and actually wanted to experience the feeling of Sha spending money like water.
But he wasn't given the chance here.
The stuff is so bad that Fifth Brother doesn’t like it.
The only interesting things on the whole street are the talismans and formations.
But they are at most of the second level, which are all prepared for the foundation-building period and are completely useless to Lu Wenwu.
"Fifth brother, we've finished touring the East Gate Market Street, the most prosperous market in Tianxing City. Of the markets directly under the other three city gates, the North Gate deals in spiritual plants, the South Gate deals in demonic beasts, and the West Gate deals in intelligence and valuables. Let's see where we'll go next."
"Nanmen, go to the place where the information is sold and tell me about this place."
"Okay, Fifth Brother, let's go this way."
Xiao Wu led Lu Wenwu in another direction and gave a detailed introduction to the place where information was sold.
Tianji Tower, the name is a bit old-fashioned and tacky, just like the classic Hehuan Sect and Yuelai Inn.
It is said that it is a large organization that has spread all over the world long before the establishment of the Xiandao League. It combines assassination, selling stolen goods, black market auctions and intelligence. It is not a sect but is better than a sect.
Because it never participates in the sect level assessment, and its own strength is unfathomable, the Xiandao League has no right to ask it to change the suffix of its name.
Inside Tianji Building, the operating model is somewhat similar to that of a bank.
Retail investors are in the lobby, and VIPs have private rooms.
Xiaowu was left in the waiting hall on the first floor.
Lu Wenwu spent two hundred low-grade spirit stones as a confidentiality fee and followed a female cultivator to the top-level soundproof room on the third floor.
"Fellow Daoist, you can tell us the information you want to buy now." The female cultivator, whose face could not be seen clearly, spoke.
"Don't be busy yet, I'll sell two pieces of news first."
On his way here, Lu Wenwu had already learned about the operating mechanism of Tianji Tower in detail.
The female cultivator paused, but said nothing. She simply took out two blank jade slips and placed them next to the spiritual tea cup in front of Lu Wenwu, making a gesture of invitation.
Lu Wenwu did not put it on his forehead like ordinary cultivators.
Just by glancing in the direction of the jade slip, his mental power had already engraved the information into the jade slip, causing it to glow slightly.
This move obviously shocked the female cultivator, causing her to be stunned for a moment.
Even through a veil that could block detection, that emotion was quite obvious.
Using spiritual consciousness to engrave on a jade slip from a distance is something that only extremely powerful late Jindan or Yuanying masters can do!
She immediately bowed and said, "I am blind and have neglected you, senior. I'm sorry."
"That's not important. Let's look at the intelligence and estimate the price." Lu Wenwu waved his hand.
"Please wait a moment, Senior."
The female cultivator responded and picked up the jade slip to read it carefully.
After just a few seconds of checking, the feeling of shock and bewilderment reappeared in her.
A demonic cultivator who has achieved great perfection in Qi training and possesses both innate spiritual roots and acquired five-element spiritual roots appeared near Tumu Temple?
A demon king carrying a cub of a divine beast attacked the Mad Blade Temple, forcefully killed the Mad Blade Master, and then left after killing three elders?
What is going on?
The female cultivator's eyes were a little confused at this moment.
How could such a thing happen in this small Eastern Wasteland?
Even though the person sitting in front of her was a True Lord who was suspected to be at the Nascent Soul stage, she still asked cautiously.
"Senior, according to the rules of Tianji Tower, you need to provide relevant evidence to support your claims. It's not that I doubt you, but these two pieces of news are really..."
"Evidence? Easy to find. Just go to Mutu Temple and Kuangdao Temple and you'll find out. The Mutu Temple's abbot and elders have already fled overnight and should be arriving soon. Kuangdao Temple's mountain protection formation has been shattered, with a section of the mountaintop chopped off. It's easy to verify."
Lu Wenwu held Maomao, who had transformed into a puppy, and drank tea with a smile on his face.
The female cultivator from Tianji Tower paused, then bowed and said, "Senior, this matter is too serious. I cannot make the decision. I need to report this to my superiors. Please wait a moment."
"No problem." Lu Wenwu agreed.
If I don't come to Kuangdao Temple and run away from Mutu Temple, those people will also report me.
Anyway, I did the work myself, so instead of letting them make the money, I might as well make it myself.
Although the spirit stones are of little use to my buddies, we can’t let them get away with it!
The efficiency of Tianji Tower was still very high. The female cultivator returned in just an incense stick of time.
Also coming was a man in blue who was said to be the deputy owner of the Tianji Tower.
Based on these two pieces of news, Tianji Tower was willing to pay Lu Wenwu two hundred high-grade spirit stones, and stated that they would not be greedy for the rewards from the Xiandao League. Lu Wenwu could kill two birds with one stone.
Two hundred high-grade spirit stones is quite a lot.
According to the exchange rate in this world, two hundred high-grade spirit stones can be easily exchanged for more than twenty thousand medium-grade spirit stones or two million low-grade spirit stones.
It is a hundred times less than all the wealth of Master Kuang Dao put together.
This was what he deserved for these two explosive news. Lu Wenwu accepted his reward calmly, but did not put it into his storage bag.
Two hundred high-grade spirit stones were placed in a specially made small box on the table.
The Qingyi deputy building owner was equally respectful towards Lu Wenwu. "I wonder what information you, the True Lord, would like to purchase from our Tianxing City branch?"
"I've been traveling around the continent recently, and somehow I suddenly remembered the Qingxuan Sword Sect that was destroyed thousands of years ago. I want to go and see it. Do you have any information about them?" Lu Wenwu stated the real purpose of his coming here.
