Chapter 909 Arrival at Buli City
"Of course," Momo nodded, "We've run into so many teams these past few days, it's hard to ignore them."
Luo Li's eyes moved slightly. Could the movements of so many powerful forces be related to the fact that Xuan Mu and his lord urgently asked them to go back?
No clue.
Luo Li pressed her forehead and went to rest without thinking any further.
The next morning, Luo Li changed her clothes and continued her journey to Buli City.
She has almost understood it in the past few days. Although Buli City is called a city, it is actually a general term for a force. There are sixteen cities under its jurisdiction, and Buli City is the most powerful city among them.
The mayor of Buli City is the most influential person among the sixteen cities, while the mayors of the other fifteen cities are called "Lords". However, this seems to be an internal title, and Luo Li did not find any records of it.
One morning, Luo Li stood under the city walls, looked up at the huge city in front of her, exhaled lightly, and walked in.
Although Buli City was prosperous, it didn't look anything special. She didn't have the energy to observe the surroundings and just found a large inn to stay in.
After settling Xiaoliu and the others, Luo Li went to the lobby on the first floor alone and ordered a table full of dishes.
While the receptionist was serving the dishes, Luo Li took out a Crystal Soul Card containing 100,000 Crystal Soul Coins and gently placed it on the table.
The receptionist was a little puzzled, "Guest, what are you doing..."
Luo Li smiled slightly, "I just arrived in Buli City and planned to stay here permanently, but as you know, there aren't many explanations for Buli City on the mainland, and I'm afraid of touching any taboos and offending some big shots I can't afford to offend, so..."
Seeing that she didn't show any resistance, Luo Li continued, "You are a local after all, so you must know more than us guests. Tell me about this Buli City, and these 100,000 Crystal Soul Coins will be my reward to you."
A gleam of light flashed in the eyes of the reception girl. Exchanging the information that almost everyone in the city knew for 100,000 Crystal Soul Coins was such a great profit.
Besides, even if she didn't take the money, the customer would definitely go to someone else, and someone would always talk about it. It would be the same no matter who said it, but she said that she could at least get 100,000 Crystal Soul Coins.
After weighing the pros and cons, she said bluntly, "Of course, sir."
She smiled and said, "I wonder what news the guest wants to know?"
Luo Li took a sip of tea and tapped the cup with her index finger. "I just want to know more about Bulicheng, so if you know anything, just tell me directly."
The little girl pondered the meaning of Luo Li's words, was silent for two seconds, and then spoke.
The first sentence was to reassure Luo Li, "Rest assured, guest. Although our city has only been established for a few decades, important figures like the city lord are very easy to talk to. I haven't heard of any taboos. Moreover, ordinary spiritual masters like us rarely have the opportunity to meet the city lord and his people."
Seeing a glint of dissatisfaction flash across Luo Li's eyes, she quickly continued, "However! The distribution of power in Buli City is quite complicated. I can explain it to the guests in detail."
Luo Li curled her lips, put down the cup, and motioned her to continue.
The girl breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that it was no use trying to fool the customer, as he was not a fool, so she had better tell the truth.
She cleared her throat and began, "We haven't left the city since it was founded forty-seven years ago. My parents were among the first to live there permanently. At the time, no one paid any attention to this small force that had suddenly appeared. Who would have thought that just a few years later, this small force that no one else cared about would suddenly rise to prominence? In just forty years, it had become a force that other forces could not ignore."
"In the beginning, there was only this one city in Bulicheng. Later, as time went by, the number increased to sixteen, but in fact, the most important ones were only six cities."
"They are Wanhuan City ruled by Wanhuan Spirit Lord, Bishui City ruled by Bishui Spirit Lord, Wanjian City ruled by Wanjian Spirit Lord, Qingmu City ruled by Qingmu Spirit Lord, Jiuxiao City ruled by Jiuxiao Spirit Lord, Wuji City ruled by Wuji Spirit Lord, and Hanyue City ruled by Hanyue Spirit Lord."
"The remaining nine cities don't actually have any city lords in the true sense. This is because they are located on the edge of the area governed by Buli City. Therefore, they are directly included in the jurisdiction of the previous city lords. It's just that outsiders don't know much about it, so they think Buli City has sixteen city lords."
"Besides these city lords, there are actually several deputy city lords in Buli City, and another person whose status is second only to the city lord. We all call him Lingxiao Tianzun, but we have never seen him in person."
“…”
As she spoke, she felt a little dry in the mouth. Luo Li handed her a cup of tea, which she drank directly. Then she let out a long breath and rubbed her hands. "Guest, I was only born in the past thirty years, so I don't know much. You see..."
Luo Li didn't ask any more questions and gestured for her to take the Crystal Soul Card and leave.
"Okay!"
She quickly put the Crystal Soul Card into her pocket and said, "Thank you, sir. Your order will be delivered to you shortly!"
After saying that, she ran out of the box.
Hehe, make a fortune!
Luo Li sat in her seat, lost in thought. To be honest, after listening to what she said, she had a better understanding of Bulicheng, but she still had no idea what she wanted to know most.
She pressed her forehead. If she wanted to know if it was them, she had to find a way to see them in person.
But the person just now also said that they basically cannot see these city lords under normal circumstances. She certainly cannot sneak into the city lord’s mansion directly. It seems that she still has to use that trick.
She rested in the inn for a day, and the next day, she went straight to the auction house in the city.
However, it was sadly discovered that the Ancient God Auction House had no branch in Buli City!
Luo Li was a little confused. She stopped a passerby and asked, "Isn't there an auction house in Buli City?"
"Of course there is," the passerby said calmly, though he felt a little puzzled. He pointed in a direction and said, "You're an outsider, right? The auction house in the main city is right there. Just walk two blocks and it's in the very center of Central Avenue."
Luo Li recovered now, "Thank you."
"You're welcome," the passerby waved his hand and hurried away.
Luo Li went directly in the direction he said, and sure enough, she saw a large and magnificent auction house in the best location on Central Street.
Luo Li curled her lips, the simplest and most direct method was still the most effective.
She lowered her head, adjusted her sleeves, and walked in with a swagger.
