Before the sun set, Gu Yao and Chi Changye drove to Beiya City. The walls of the city were very tall, and one side was a deep abyss. The city was built on this cliff.
The father and son looked like ordinary people, but the young man was also a Jindan, and the middle-aged father was a Yuanying. After a preliminary investigation, the two found that they were completely refining the body and did not pay attention to spiritual roots at all. When they knew that Gu Yao and his friends were from outside, the young man was curious, but the middle-aged father's eyes, in addition to still being wary, also had a faint respect.
Along the way, the father and son told Gu Yao and Chi Chang Ye a lot of what they knew. In fact, they didn't often hear the word "spiritual world" because they had never been far from Beiya City in their lives and had always lived in this land. They only knew that Beiya City belonged to Huangzhou.
"So it's Huangzhou, I would have known it earlier."
Xu Chen said this after the fact, and Chi Chang Ye rolled his eyes when he heard it.
Xu Chen rescued him, “Huangzhou, as the name suggests, is a desolate and remote area in the spirit world. Of course, even in Huangzhou, the spiritual conditions are better than those in Wanluo Continent, right?” Gu Yao and
Chi Changye also acknowledged this. The young man among the father and son was only a dozen years old, and his talent for cultivation was very ordinary, but he had the strength of a golden elixir through body refining. If such a person were placed in Tianlin Continent, he might be a little cultivator in the early stage of Qi refining all his life, while people in the spirit world might have the cultivation base of foundation building or even golden elixir from birth. This was the innate difference caused by the environment.
Originally, after the two of them reached the level of Transformation, they felt that cultivation was like an old ox pulling a cart. After being here for most of the day, even if their bodies spontaneously absorbed spiritual energy, it was equivalent to the result of meditating and practicing for several days in Wanluo Continent . It is conceivable that when they go to a place with rich spiritual energy, the spiritual energy will be so dense.
The two of them were not in a hurry. The spiritual world is so big that they can explore slowly and see the scenery along the way while practicing
.
In order to avoid trouble, Gu Yao decided to keep the secret of Dan Pavilion firmly and keep a low profile in the spiritual world as much as possible.
Thinking of this, it might not be a bad thing for them to arrive at a remote place like Huangzhou as their first stop.
Xu Chen explained: "In Huangzhou, I remember there were many body-refining practitioners. The father and son next to you are like this. However, what they were exposed to should be the more elementary body-refining techniques. You have also heard about the monsters outside. The locals call them wild beasts. Eating wild beast meat can also help them refine their bodies."
"Although there are more body refiners, I remember that monks still have the upper hand in the upper levels of Huangzhou. For body refinement, it is very easy for people like this father and son to get started because of their innate conditions. But the higher you go, the more difficult it is. It is much more difficult for them to advance to the next level than monks like us. After all, there are few who can achieve great success."
Gu Yao and the others also saw this scene after entering the city. The monks who cultivated spiritual power wore neat robes, and they looked at the Zhong father and son with arrogance. When they saw Gu Yao and Chi Changye, they frowned, as if they were very dissatisfied with them sitting in the car of the Niu father and son. Perhaps they felt that they had fallen into depravity.
"Why don't you go to other places? We don't know much. There are many places where monks gather in the city." Father Zhong knew that he had been judging others by his own standards. Although one of them didn't talk much, he didn't make things difficult for them by relying on his cultivation. He heard that those who could get here from other places must be at least seniors of the God Transformation Realm. The
cultivator who just passed by was only at the Yuan Infant Realm, and his strength was not much stronger than Father Zhong's. Gu Yao and Chi Chang Ye didn't know what to say, but they were new here, so they didn't come to break the rules, but to get familiar with the place first.
The two exchanged glances, and Gu Yao said, "We are unfamiliar with this place, so a place to stay for now is enough. We can consider other things after we get familiar with the place."
Zhong Chen tugged at his father's clothes and said, "Dad, our house is big. Since you have nowhere to live, you can just live in our house."
Zhong Chen was at an age full of endless curiosity about the outside world, and Gu Yao's attitude was very peaceful, so he couldn't help but persuade his father to keep them for a while.
Seeing Gu Yao looking over, Zhong's father gritted his teeth and nodded, "That's fine, but the conditions are simple, and you two seniors will suffer.
" "Haha, if it weren't for you leading the way, maybe we wouldn't even have a place to stay at night. "
Beiya City is very large. The place where the Zhong family father and son live is very remote. Except for the tall city wall outside, it is actually similar to a village. You can also see spiritual fields nearby. There are still people working in the fields at this time.
The Zhong family father and son are tall and big. The house they live in is also very spacious and tidy. Seeing that Guyao and Chichangye did not frown after entering, the Zhong father breathed a sigh of relief. Then he became happy again. In fact, it was a rare opportunity to entertain these two senior monks. If they had not just arrived in the spirit world, they would not have had the chance. There
were only the two of them in the Zhong family. The people around here were ordinary people like them. So after returning home, Zhong's father also relaxed. In the evening, he used the wild beast meat he hunted to make a sumptuous dinner for Gu Yao and his family.
Wild beast meat has a strong blood and Qi, and Gu Yao and Chi Chang Ye tasted it and thought that for a person of Zhong Chen's strength, eating wild beast meat regularly would definitely improve his physical strength, but for them who had not given up on body refining, it would not have much effect. Of course, it was also because the wild beasts they hunted were of a relatively low level. If they were of a high enough level, perhaps the situation would be different.
Both of them had the idea of hunting a few wild beasts with the power of incarnation to give it a try.
After dinner, Zhong's father was busy with housework. After they went there, they asked Zhong Chen to accompany Gu Yao and the other two. Gu Yao then asked about the difference between the monks and the cultivators. Zhong
Chen showed a yearning look on his face when he talked about it: "My father and I are both ordinary people. We can't practice the monks' skills. But there are also sects that specialize in cultivators. My father wants to send me to try it next year. If I can get in, I can get better skills. I will become stronger and stronger in the future and lead my father to live a good life."
When Zhong's father heard what his son said, he interrupted and explained: "Don't listen to this kid's nonsense. Whether you can practice or not depends on your qualifications. For someone like me who has a simple skill to hunt wild beasts, I am very satisfied. In fact, in our Beiya City, half of the people are ordinary people, and most people live the same life as us. "
Gu Yao checked for Zhong Chen and found that he was not an ordinary person without any spiritual roots, but he was not necessarily better than ordinary people, because he had five spiritual roots, and the spiritual roots were mixed. Even if such a person could cultivate spiritual power, the effect might not be stronger than that of body refining.
After Zhong's father's explanation, Gu Yao and Chi Changye realized that people like Zhong's father who had no spiritual roots and Zhong Chen who had mixed spiritual roots were classified as ordinary people. There was no other way to become a body refining practitioner except to become a body refining practitioner. The strength of the people in the Wild State is strong, and the special environment of the Wild State makes ordinary people here, whether men, women or children, exercise to prevent themselves from becoming food for the Wild Beasts one day.
Although Father Zhong claimed that he and his son were ordinary people, it was still very different from the cognition in the ancient times. Ordinary people here, such as Father Zhong, could live for hundreds of years, but because they often fought with the Wild Beasts, they had some old injuries in their bodies, which shortened their lifespan.
Gu Yao was shocked. The Zhong family father and son envied those who could practice cultivation. But if ordinary people from Tianlin Continent were to see them, they would envy the ordinary people here. They could practice cultivation, have the strength of a golden elixir, and live for hundreds of years. In their eyes, they were no different from cultivators.
Of course, the Zhong family father and son were born in the spiritual world. Those cultivators could fly, hide, and move mountains and seas, but they were limited by their innate conditions, and their future achievements would not be too high. How could they not be envious?
In the evening, Zhong Chen was doing boxing in the yard to exercise his body. Seeing that they were interested in these things, Zhong's father chatted with them. Although they were at the bottom of the city, they still understood some things on the surface.
For example, the mayor of Beiya City was a Lianxu monk. There was only one Lianxu monk in the whole Beiya City, so Beiya City did not have a high status in the whole Huangzhou. Among the countless cities in Huangzhou, Beiyazhou barely belonged to the fourth rate, and there were third-rate, second-rate and top-level first-rate cities above them, which depended on the strength of the top strongmen in the city.
Beiya City was fortunate enough to be ranked among the fourth-rate cities because of the strength of the city lord. Of course, there are still second-rate towns. The Zhong family father and son were able to live in Beiya City, which was much better than those who lived from hand to mouth. At least after entering the city, there was a solid wall outside to protect their home. As long as they did not offend the big shots in the city, their lives would not be in danger.
Zhong's father wanted to save spirit stones to send his son to learn higher-level body-refining techniques, rather than the common stuff that ordinary people practiced, so he went out of the city to hunt wild beasts all the time. Otherwise, he would do hard labor in the city and didn't know when he could save enough spirit stones. Normally they would team up with other cultivators, but today was a coincidence, the father and son were alone, so they met Gu Yao and his partner on the way . They
went out of the city with others to hunt wild beasts, and Gu Yao thought this arrangement was just right.
Zhong Chen mustered up his energy, and after breakfast he took Gu Yao and Chi Changye out, because apart from the places they usually went, there were some places his father wouldn't let him go because it was easy to get into trouble. But it was different with Gu Yao and Chi Changye. Although his father reminded him to be careful and serve the two seniors well, Zhong Chen was young after all, and he forgot those instructions when he got excited.
"Seniors, look, this is the most prosperous street in our North District. The City Lord's Mansion is in the South District, which is also the best and richest place in our Beiya City." A trip to the South District was also in Zhong Chen's plan, but he first took the two seniors to see the specialty shops and items in their North District.
There are many kinds of items for sale here, but there are a lot of stalls selling wild beast meat and wild beast parts. When they are gathered together, the bloody smell is inevitable, which is not a good smell.
