Chapter 207 Arriving in the Central Region
There has been a great event recently in Tiancheng, a major city in central China: the Cheng and Zhou families have become friends.
To celebrate this event, anyone who goes to the two companies' properties to offer congratulations can receive wedding candies, wedding cakes, and even copper coins.
Three days before the wedding, Tao Zi and her group arrived in Tiancheng.
A long line formed at the Tiancheng City Gate early in the morning, many of whom came to bring gifts.
They lined up and everyone was talking about the marriage.
Han Yueshan said, "The Cheng and Zhou families are truly impressive. They can make such a grand gesture just to get married. Let's go and share in the joyous occasion after we enter the city."
Li Xiu asked in return, "What's so good about this mortal's joy?"
He snorted and said, "Even if I tell you, you still don't understand."
This was heard by someone nearby.
Soon after, a guard came up to them and asked, "Are you monks?"
Do they recognize them?
Tao Zi and the others were on high alert. The Flower Monk responded, "We are indeed monks. What's the matter?"
"The monks have another entrance. Please follow me."
They followed cautiously. On the way, Han Yueshan asked, "How did you know we were immortal cultivators?"
"Someone just heard you say the word 'mortal' and therefore made a bold guess about your identities."
He breathed a sigh of relief.
The entrance they arrived at was less crowded, but very lively - someone was causing trouble.
"What do you mean? As a monk, do I have to worry about so many things?"
A man in black clothes shouted, completely unconcerned about the looks he received.
"I'm really sorry, but this is the rule of Tiancheng. Even if you are a cultivator, you must abide by the rules of Tiancheng."
The guard still had a smile on his face.
The man in black became even more annoyed: "I can't go here, I can't go there, what am I doing in this Heavenly City?"
"It's not that we can't go, it's that we can't use the power of a cultivator against a mortal. As for why you came to this Heavenly City, we don't know either."
This...
Tao Zi and Han Yueshan looked at each other and confirmed that the guard was provoking this man.
Looking at the expressions of the guards around, this monk must have offended them.
As expected, the monk took action, but his strength was not as strong as the guards who joined forces to fight the enemy, and he was captured.
The guard who brought them here smiled and said, "I'm sorry to have made you laugh. But we in Tiancheng have many rules, so I hope you will be mentally prepared."
Tao Zi nodded and replied, "Since we have come to Tiancheng, we will naturally abide by the rules of Tiancheng."
The guard took out a form and asked them to write down their respective realms. Tao Zi wrote down the word "foundation building" without hesitation.
The guard put away his watch and handed them a map. He smiled and said, "Our Tiancheng is divided into three areas. One area is only accessible to monks, one area is only accessible to mortals, and the remaining area is accessible to both monks and mortals."
Han Yueshan touched his chin and asked, "If I don't use the power of a cultivator, can I enter the mortal area?"
"Of course you can." The guard paused, then added, "Everyone, entering the city from here is a mixed area. I hope you will be considerate of mortals."
After entering the city, you are greeted by all kinds of noise. People are hurrying on the road, and children are running past them from time to time. Everyone has a smile on their face.
Looking at the bustling Tiancheng, Xi Jing sighed, "It looks really nice here."
Li Xiu nodded and said, "The treatment of mortals here is indeed good. The most important thing is that two of the four great families have their main branches settled here. With them guarding the mortals, ordinary cultivators dare not cause trouble."
The four major families all have people in the three sects and four gates, and there are even some people with high status. In addition, there are countless independent cultivators in the clan, so ordinary cultivators will not easily provoke them.
As for the one I just met at the city gate, he was probably an idiot.
Listening to Li Xiu explaining the secrets to them, Tao Zi recalled the Cheng family's near-extinction incident. Without saying much, she simply asked, "Xi Jing, do you like Tiancheng very much?"
Xi Jing nodded and said, "It feels good here."
She smiled and said, "It is very good indeed."
If they leave later, it would be a good choice for them to stay in Tiancheng.
Han Yueshan and others were completely unaware of her thoughts and were wandering around excitedly.
Li Xiu, as usual, went to find an inn to rest first.
He looked at Tao Zi and asked, "What do you think? Should we stay in this area and look for an inn, or go to the monk area to find an inn?"
She said, "Go to the monk area."
They followed the map and found the place. Before they entered the monks' area, a quiet atmosphere came over them.
It is not as lively as the mixed area. Every monk is busy with his own business. Occasionally someone talks, but they are not too loud.
The things sold at the roadside stalls were all strange and weird, most of which Xi Jing had never heard of.
Li Xiu did not look for the best inn this time, but found one that looked simple and clean.
The innkeeper was a Xuanzhao period cultivator. He slowly raised his head and glanced at them. His gaze fixed on the flower monk. He straightened his lazy body and asked, "How many rooms do you need?"
These words were directed at Hua Seng, but he had no money, so he could only look at Li Xiu.
Li Xiu stepped forward and said, "Just three will do."
The boss looked at him in surprise, obviously not expecting that the leader would be a monk who didn't look very powerful.
"A low-quality room costs one ounce of gold for three days; a mid-quality room costs one spirit stone for three days; a high-quality room costs five spirit stones for three days. All payments must be made in full. No credit."
Xi Jing and the others didn't understand much else, but they knew the value of an ounce of gold. She resisted the urge to curse the profiteer and asked, "If we only stay for one day, how do we calculate it?"
"Three days is three days, and one day is also three days."
Li Xiu stopped Xi Jing who was about to speak and said, "We want three superior rooms."
He took out fifteen spirit stones.
The boss called the waiter to take them there.
After arriving at the room, they gathered in the room with Li Xiu and Zhao Xue.
Xi Jing couldn't help but complain, "Why is it so expensive?"
Li Xiu smiled and said, "It's expensive for a reason. Xi Jing, take a good look at this room."
She looked around, closed her eyes for a while, and a look of astonishment gradually appeared on her face.
The flower monk said: "There are spirit gathering stones here that can help cultivators practice. In addition, there are formations here that can block external attacks."
Han Yueshan sighed, "No wonder it's so expensive."
Xi Jing rubbed her hands. Zhao Xue realized something was wrong and asked, "Xi Jing, what are you going to do?"
She narrowed her eyes and smiled: "Didn't you hear there is a formation here?"
He was shocked: "Learning by stealing?"
"Hehe." Xi Jing's expression rarely looks so obscene.
Li Xiu wanted to laugh and said, "It's not that easy to learn. If you learn it, it will be Xi Jing's ability."
Xi Jing puffed out her chest and said, "I'm talented, so learning this will definitely be no problem!"
Han Yueshan smiled and said, "Brother, I believe you and will wait for your good news."
