Gu Yao's flying magic weapon also looked very ordinary, but after getting it, Chi Changye modified it, mainly to improve its flying speed. The results of the modification were quite remarkable. Half a month later, they arrived at Baihe City, a city with a strong commercial atmosphere.
When they were in Heifeng Town, Liu Qin had talked about this city. Baihe City is most famous for its scenery. Baihe City got its name because of the rivers and lakes everywhere. The place where the monks live is like a small island in the lake. When the sun just rose, the lake was covered with mist, reflecting the exotic flowers and trees, as well as the spiritual birds flying on the lake. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a fairyland on earth.
Baihe City has another special feature, that is, it does not have tall city walls, so you can see the beautiful scenery of the city before you arrive at the city. The four people stood on the magic weapons and looked at the fairyland-like scenery in the distance in admiration. It was caused by natural factors and also artificially transformed by later residents, making the scenery here more perfect, attracting many monks coming and going to stop here, and as a result, the business of Baihe City is extremely prosperous.
"I heard that there is another important reason why Baihe City is so prosperous, that is, there is a Yuanying monk sitting here, so no monk dares to mess around and destroy the environment and order here." This is the information Tian Feirong got from Liu Qin, "But it also makes the consumption here much higher than other places, and ordinary casual monks can't afford to live here."
Tian Feirong still remembers that when Liu Qin told him, he had a look of regret and longing. Liu Qin stayed here for a short time, but soon left with an empty pocket, and he still regrets it.
Baihe City is surrounded by a silver chain. It is a very wide river that acts as a city wall. All monks who come to Baihe City, unless they are Yuanying masters, must enter Baihe City from this river.
The four people who knew the rules naturally would not rashly break in. After collecting the flying magic weapon, they landed on this side of the river surrounding the city. Standing on the shore, they could clearly see the black shadow in the river. It was a kind of piranha domesticated in the river surrounding the city, and it was very ferocious.
There was no bridge on the river, but soon a monk came over with a big fish with a wide back and a dark blue color. He greeted them with a smile: "You four want to go into the city? Please get on the bat fish's back. Each person only needs ten spirit stones."
Yes, they had to pay the boat fare first. Tian Feirong took out forty spirit stones and handed them to him, then jumped on the fish's back with a smile. The fish's back was enough to carry a hundred people. It was the only fish that lived under the water except for piranhas. It was naturally huge, but it was very difficult to advance. I don't know which ancestor brought this bat fish here.
The bat fish moved fast and steadily on the river fish, and could not feel any ups and downs. It soon reached the other side of the river. The four people got on the shore and thanked the monk.
The shore is the outer city of Baihe City, so there are not many pedestrians and monks. However, soon a teenager who looked to be in his teens ran over and recommended himself: "Is this your first time to Baihe City? Do you need a guide? I can serve you for a day for only ten spirit stones."
The young monk's cultivation was only in the late stage of Qi Refining. Of course, he was not worthy of attention in such a place, but if he was in Tianlin Continent, he would be ranked among the geniuses.
His eyes were round and he had a little baby fat. He looked very pleasing, so Tian Feirong decided to use him and paid ten spirit stones first: "Take us to the inner city. This is our first time here, but you can't fool us."
The young man smiled even more pleasingly. His attitude was attentive but not annoying. He had a very good sense of proportion.
With the spirit stone paving the way, it was very easy to enter the inner city. The only choice was whether to go by water or by land. This time, Gu Yao and his team chose the land route. Anyway, when they saw the scenery here, they planned to stay here for a while, so that they would have the opportunity to try other things in the future.
They had been in Qianhao Continent for more than a year, and they had been practicing at a high intensity almost all the time. They needed to combine work and rest, so they planned to relax here for a while, swim around the lake, enjoy the scenery, and taste the local delicacies. There was no better way to relax than this.
The four of them were all Jindan cultivators, so it was quite easy for them to enter the inner city. The young guide was a local resident who lived in the outer city. The inner city was really expensive, but he could still enter the inner city after paying the entrance fee. The entrance fee was paid by Gu Yao and the others, otherwise the guide fee of ten Lingshi would not be enough for him to spend.
The young man said: "This is the first island in the lake in the inner city. It is considered to be relatively large. The four seniors can choose to stay in the inn here. There is another way that many cultivators like, that is, to rent an island in the lake. The rent is often relatively high, but I believe this is not difficult for the four seniors."
The four looked at each other, and sure enough, there was a touch of interest in their eyes. The young man was even happier. If he brought the guests there, he could get a commission that was not small for him.
Gu Yao made the decision and said: "Then take us to the places where we can rent islands. We will rent any that we like."
"Okay."
The young guide took them to the center of the island in the lake with familiarity. This is a management agency. The ownership of the island naturally belongs to the City Lord's Mansion where the great Yuan Ying is. Of course, there are also private islands owned by other forces or individuals. Without the invitation of internal personnel, outsiders are not allowed to set foot on such private islands.
The young man respectfully invited them to go in first. When the steward inside saw the four people coming in and the golden elixir aura emanating from them, his eyes lit up and he immediately came to greet them. When Gu Yao and the other three saw the steward, their pupils shrank slightly, because this steward was actually also a golden elixir cultivator. It can be seen that the City Lord's Mansion here is very powerful, and no wonder it has been able to stay here all the time. All the cultivators who come here are obedient and abide by the rules.
"Four Daoists, if you need anything, please feel free to ask. This place belongs to the Lord's Mansion
of Baihe City. We will definitely try our best to meet the needs of every cultivator who comes to Baihe City." The steward said enthusiastically, once again making people feel that he is a businessman rather than a Jindan cultivator.
"Our guide told us that there is an island here that can be rented. Can you introduce it to us?" Tian Feirong
said politely.
"Please follow me." The smile in the steward's eyes became deeper. Anyone who can rent an island is a big customer. It's time to make a deal, so his eyes when he looked at the young guide who brought Gu Yao and the others in were also much softer.
The steward brought Gu Yao and his companions into an exhibition hall. There was a huge jade wall in the exhibition hall. Gu Yao and his companions were shocked by the jade wall as soon as they entered, because what was presented on the jade wall was a panoramic miniature of Baihe City. There were more than 200 islands of various sizes in the lake, which showed how large the scale of the entire Baihe City was. According to Gu Yao's estimation, it would not be smaller than a planet in the interstellar world.
There is an island on top that is the largest. The young guide told Gu Yao and his four companions that it was the location of the City Lord's Mansion. The steward smiled and did not interrupt the young man. Gu Yao and his companions saw that the largest island was located in the center of Baihe City. It looked like three spheres spliced together. The steward then told them that it was exactly the same. It was the original city lord who used his great magical powers to move the three islands together to form the current Central Island. It was also the place with the largest flow of people in Baihe City.
Gu Yao and his companions decided to go to this Central Island to take a look. For the other islands, those with green light spots indicated that they had owners, and the remaining red light spots indicated that they were being rented or sold. The steward also told them that if they wanted to see the specific situation of the island, they could use their spiritual consciousness to explore it and see the bird's-eye view of the place.
There were only about twenty small islands left to be rented or sold, so it didn't take too long to look at them one by one, so the four of them picked them one by one. In the end, the four of them agreed and picked an island with the best scenery and a small area. There was also a floating waterfall on the island. The waterfall was moved into the air through the power of the formation, and then poured down from the air, in an endless cycle. As long as the formation did not stop, the waterfall would never stop flowing.
After deciding on a place, Chi Changye flipped through his storage ring and said to the steward calmly, "Can we find a separate place to sit down and talk?"
The steward still smiled warmly, "Sure, please follow me, four Taoist friends."
He had seen this kind of situation too many times. Not all cultivators carry a lot of spiritual stones when they go out, so when paying, they often use other materials on their bodies to convert into spiritual stones. This steward is an old hand who is good at appraisal.
So the steward led them to the room next door, and the young guide stayed outside. A maid served the best spiritual tea and spiritual fruit. The steward said that these were all special products of this city. Gu Yao drank a sip of spiritual tea and his mouth was full of fragrance. It was indeed good.
"What is the price for renting for a year?" Chi Changye asked directly.
The manager smiled and raised a finger: "10,000 middle-grade spirit stones a year, I guess this price is not high for Master Yao.
The other party directly pointed out the identities of Gu Yao and the others, and none of the four showed much shock. People with good news would naturally know their situation in Jiangyun City and Black Wind Town. The most important thing is Gu Yao's own value. He is now probably a seventh-grade middle-grade alchemist, and the success rate of pills and the quality of pills are definitely outstanding among alchemists of the same level. After all parties know about such an alchemist, how can they not pay close attention to him?
If Qian Hao had just arrived , The mainland, this value will definitely make Tian Feirong and the little fat man spit tea, it is simply a death demand for spiritual stones, but even now the corners of their mouths twitched. If they hadn't followed Gu Yao, they would definitely not be able to enjoy such an island. They can only stay in the inn in the outer city or on the island under their feet.
But now they can't take out such a sum of spiritual stones. The spiritual conditions in Black Wind Town are quite poor, so the middle-grade spiritual stones they have are used for cultivation, and there are very few left.
"I'm short of money, can I use elixirs to pay?" Gu Yao said embarrassedly.
