Chapter 87: Average, the third in the magic world
Three months later, Yulong Country, Yulong City.

As the largest country in the Yulong Domain, and with the support of Yulong Mountain, the Yulong Kingdom stands out for its arrogance in many aspects.

For example, the capital city before us is at least ten times larger than Yundu, and can accommodate a population of tens of millions.

If we add in the population of farms, workshops and other facilities responsible for supporting production near Yulong Capital, the number would be close to 40 million.

This is almost as high as the registered population of Chen State.

But the Yulong Kingdom is running very well and there is no dirt or mess at all.

Because strictly speaking, the Yulong Kingdom is a city where immortals and mortals live together!
Unlike other places, the capital of Yulong Kingdom is built on a spiritual vein. The inner city is an area dedicated to the living of immortal cultivators, and the outer city is for ordinary people to live.

The number of immortal cultivators living in the inner city has reached as many as 150,000, and the area is even larger than Linglong Market. The nearly 10 million authentic Yundu people in the outer city actually serve them.

Thanks to the means of immortal cultivators, the largest city in the Yulong Domain has not become a city of shit and urine, but has become more and more prosperous.

And today, a young man riding a giant blue deer appeared on the official road.

When the soldiers guarding the city saw Zhang Wei coming riding on a strange beast, they didn't even charge him an entrance fee and let him pass respectfully, which made the mortals nearby envious.

Many people even took their children to teach them that they must study hard in the future and become immortals like Zhang Wei.

Zhang Wei walked into the largest city in Yulong Territory amid the envious gazes of everyone. What he saw was a prosperous scene, which made Zhang Wei feel like he was back to the first time he entered a big city in his previous life.

Although Linglong Market was also very prosperous, it was, after all, a market for cultivators, lacking the worldly atmosphere that Zhang Wei remembered. The Yulong Kingdom in front of him was just right.

Perhaps it is because there are quite a lot of immortal cultivators in the capital of Yulong Kingdom, and they are often seen riding their spirit beasts through the city.

Zhang Wei riding on the Congyun Deer did not attract the curiosity or attention of the citizens here. They just glanced at him with envy and then shifted their gaze and continued to do their own things.

No matter how prosperous the world of immortal cultivators is, it cannot stop ordinary people from struggling for their own lives.

Zhang Wei bought some snacks that were specialties of Yulong Country on the way, and then rode Cong Yun into the inner city while tasting the local specialties.

After passing through the gate of the inner city, it was as if he had passed through a thin film. Then, a familiar aura blew towards him, making Zhang Wei feel refreshed after running around outside for several months.

Even Cong Yun under his crotch let out a cry. The man and the deer were like travelers who had been trekking in the desert for a long time and finally saw an oasis. Both of them had a glow of happiness on their faces.

After taking two breaths of spiritual energy, Zhang Wei casually threw a spiritual stone to the guard, then pinched the deer's belly and said, "Let's go to the management office here to see if there are any caves to rent."

“Yo——”

Cong Yun let out a long cry and took Zhang Wei away from the inner city gate.

The so-called cave residence is actually built based on the spiritual vein, and is a place for wealthy cultivators and foundation-building masters to live in the market.

When Zhang Wei first entered Yunfang City, he wanted to rent a cave for his own practice. Unfortunately, there was none in the local area. The only place with one was Yunshangfang, the first market under the Yunshang Sect, and the supply was in short supply.

Now that he is away from home, without the spiritual energy of the second-level spiritual vein of Canglong Cave, the spiritual energy of Lingquan Valley, and the thermal power plant, Zhang Wei must find a cave if he wants to practice normally.

Arriving at the Market Management Office, the Yulongshan disciple in charge saw that it was a Foundation Establishment Senior who came and immediately greeted him warmly and asked, "Senior, what do you want?"

Zhang Wei first looked at the map of Yulongfang City in the lobby, and then said, "I plan to live in Yulongfang for a while, and I want to find a cave to live in."

The Yulongshan disciple immediately pointed out a place to Zhang Wei enthusiastically, saying, "Senior, please take a look. How is this place? It is very close to the core of the spiritual vein, and there is a spiritual ascending formation inside.

There is one month every year when the spiritual energy in the cave can be raised to the level of the core of the second-level spiritual vein, which is extremely suitable for breakthroughs at critical moments.

And the internal space is also very large, which is more than enough for experimenting with magic weapons, growing spiritual herbs, or raising spiritual beasts."

Zhang Wei looked at the environment around the cave on the map, nodded with satisfaction, and asked, "How much is the rent here?"

"The annual rent is three thousand taels of gold."

Three thousand taels of gold can produce one second-grade primary magic weapon a year. An ordinary small family really cannot afford it.

However, for Zhang Wei, who had received the Liu family's thousand-year savings, this amount of money was nothing. With his current wealth, he could rent the house until he died without moving.

"Then here."

Zhang Wei completed the formalities with the disciple directly, and then asked, "By the way, where do you sell the most complete and best quality items here?"

The Yulong disciple was startled, then explained honestly: "If you want the most complete range of things, then the first choice is the Yulong Treasure House of our Yulong Sect, but if you want the best quality, it is best to find a specialized store.

Because we are relatively close to Jishan Sect and Baicao Pavilion, Jishan Sect's Spirit Beast Garden and Baicao Pavilion's Danxiangtang both have direct stores here.

I see that you have a Congyun deer, so you can go to the Jishan Sect and buy a beast-controlling bag. "

Zhang Wei stared at the disciple and asked, "Then where else is there?"

"This……"

The Yulong disciple, who was feeling uncomfortable under Zhang Wei's stare, was embarrassed for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, "If you have any special needs, you can go to the third alley of Fengshi Street. There are accomplished Kun cultivators there who can help you out!"

Zhang Wei: "..."

Good boy, I didn't expect that a disciple of Yulong Mountain with thick eyebrows and big eyes like you actually knows this well? !
Who do you think I am?
Zhang Wei pulled the man's shoulder and said through gritted teeth: "That's not what I'm talking about!"

"what?"

The Yulong disciple blushed and quickly tried to make up for his loss, saying, "Then we should go to Fengshi Street, but the alley at the innermost part. The people there will satisfy you, senior."

"Humph!"

Zhang Wei glared at the man unhappily, took out a few taels of spirit stones and stuffed them into his arms, as a reward for buying the information.

Then he took the cave certificate and took Cong Yun to the Jishan Sect's shop.

Each of the five major sects has its own area of ​​expertise.

For example, the Linglong Sect is good at talismans and formations, the Xuefeng Valley is good at the way of killing and slaughtering by demon warriors, and the Jishan Sect is very good at raising and cultivating various spirit beasts because of its contract with the elves of heaven and earth.

Even the contemporary Jishan Zhenren has a golden elixir spirit beast, the Howling Moon Silver Wolf King, by his side. When he fights with others, it becomes a two-on-one fight, which gives him the advantage.

Although Cong Yun has swallowed dragon blood and spiritual essence, which will be enough to make him a great demon in the future, he has not yet fully developed and is just a stronger demon beast in the late stage of Qi Refining. Therefore, he cannot help Zhang Wei in a fight and is instead a burden.

Then at this time, a beast-taming bag becomes particularly important.

This storage magic weapon, which is similar to a mustard seed bag, is used to store various large spiritual beasts.

Well, theoretically you can pretend to be a human, but the prerequisite is that the person has signed a master-servant contract with you and becomes your "pet".

Not only that, the Jishan Sect's shop also sells a variety of elixirs and tools suitable for spirit beasts, as well as various services for spirit beasts. The variety of styles and the complete range of types make Zhang Wei feel like he is looking at a pet store in his previous life.

Zhang Wei is quite doting on Cong Yun. After all, he is a being that can become a great demon in the future. It is totally worthwhile to train him as the guardian beast of the Zhang family. So Zhang Wei directly spent a large amount of money to ask Cong Yun to do a full set of services, which made this beast so happy that he couldn't stop talking.

While Cong Yun was doing his health care, Zhang Wei took some time to visit other shops. He had almost used up all the elixirs he brought from home in the past seven years and needed to buy some more.

However, during this period, Zhang Wei discovered a special store.

The store is large, but doesn't sell anything except for the counter in the center and the huge display boards hanging on the walls of the lobby.

There were notices on the display board. A group of cultivators stood under the display board and picked from left to right. Finally, they picked one and went to the counter to find a service staff to go through the formalities.

It was similar to the Mercenary Guild in the Western Fantasy World, with the same main business, except that the service objects were mostly cultivators. However, Zhang Wei saw a special display board inside, where the reward was not for monsters or spiritual herbs, but for a human head!

The above are all famous magic cultivators in the five domains.

There are villains ranging from those in the Qi Refining Stage to the magic masters in the Foundation Establishment Stage.

However, Zhang Wei also saw a familiar face on it, and couldn't help but mutter: "Gui Li from the Ghost King Sect, a demon cultivator in the late stage of foundation building.

Three months ago, two cultivators in the middle stage of foundation building, Nie Shen, the elder of Xuanxin Sect, and Liu Jing, the patriarch of Liu Family in Bibotan of Heishan Kingdom, were attacked and killed in the Black Mountain Mountains.

He personally broke the Liu family's formation, killed all the Liu family members present, and looted all the Liu family's wealth. His deeds were abominable to both humans and gods, and too numerous to list!

This beast is extremely vicious and cruel. Xuanxin Sect offers a reward of 80,000 taels of gold, three second-level top-grade magic weapons, and ten bottles of second-level top-grade elixirs. Please help the heroes of the world to kill him!"

That’s right, what Zhang Wei saw was the alias and image he used when he ran an illegal coal mine in Montenegro, and now he is on the wanted list.

Moreover, the reward and ranking are not low. The bounty for his debut is equivalent to one hundred thousand taels of gold, second only to the first-ranked Scarlet Flame Demon and the second-ranked Jade Moon Fairy.

Gui Li directly became the third in command of the evil sect!
At this time, there were still a few people under the display board. After seeing the wanted poster of Gui Li, they couldn't help but sigh: "Wow, who is this Gui Li, and what kind of demonic sect is this Ghost King Sect? How come I have never heard of it before?"

Zhang Wei stroked his chin and agreed, "Maybe it was a new sect founded by a random cultivator of the Demonic Path who had just established his foundation. But this Gui Li is really capable. It wasn't enough for him to kill two cultivators of the intermediate level, he even broke the Liu family's Three Mysterious Heavenly Water Formation. That's a second-order intermediate-grade formation, and even two cultivators of the late stage of foundation building couldn't break it with all their strength!"

When others heard Zhang Wei's words, they couldn't help but say, "No wonder the reward is so high. Although he is in the late stage of foundation building, his actual combat power should be at the peak of foundation building. Unless Master Zifu personally takes action, he may escape even if a foundation building expert organizes a siege."

Another person said with a sad face, "Alas... I hope Gui Li doesn't come to the Jiexian Mountains. Those family members are fine. At worst, they won't go out. But we will be very nervous when we go into the mountains to collect herbs and hunt monsters in the future."

Zhang Wei and a group of independent cultivators sighed, "Yeah...it's too hard for us independent cultivators."

……

That night, after placing all the daily necessities he had purchased and Cong Yun in the cave he rented, Zhang Wei changed his body shape and went to the last alley of Fengshi Street mentioned by the disciples of Yulong Sect.

Although Yulongfang and even the entire Yulong Kingdom are quite safe under the management of Yulong Mountain, once entering the Jiexian Mountains, the deterrent power of Yulong Mountain drops sharply.

In order to fight for opportunities, independent cultivators do not mind transforming into robbery cultivators to do a business with no capital investment. Afterwards, they need a place to sell the proceeds. Gradually, the dark market behind Fengshi Street was born.

Yulong Mountain actually knew about this situation, but they also knew that such places could not be completely banned.

As long as the Jiexian Mountains are still there, this place for selling stolen goods will eventually reopen in another more hidden corner, and it will be more troublesome to deal with it then.

It would be better to keep it under their own noses. As long as it is not something sold by Yulong Mountain’s own disciples, Yulong Mountain will turn a blind eye and pretend not to see it.

Zhang Wei put on a magic weapon to conceal his identity, and then walked into the last alley of Fengshi Street as if no one was around. As soon as he came in, he saw a crowded scene.

There were thousands of people crammed into a small alley! And the noise was not small at all. Many independent cultivators were bargaining with the stall owners. It didn't look like a black market at all, but more like a normal market!

Zhang Wei's expression remained unchanged. After wandering around the alley twice, he walked into an inconspicuous shop. The owner of the shop was a charming female cultivator in the late stage of Qi Refining.

Her shoulders were half exposed and she was puffing smoke. She didn't look like a shopkeeper but more like a prostitute who had trained in brothels.

Seeing Zhang Wei coming in, the female shopkeeper put away her pipe, knocked it on the counter, and then propped up her little face and said teasingly: "Little brother, what do you want to buy? Sister sells everything here."

"How much of these can you give me?"

Zhang Wei calmly took out a bunch of spiritual materials and plants that he had no use for from the mustard bag.

The female shopkeeper was stunned and shocked. Her gaze paused for a few seconds on a pile of second-level spiritual plants and demon materials. Then she glanced at Zhang Wei's mustard seed bag. Only then did she realize that this ordinary handsome boy in front of her was actually a foundation-building master!
He quickly put away the pipe and said respectfully: "Senior, you have too many kinds of things and the quantity is large. We need some time to calculate. Please wait a moment. I will arrange for an appraiser to come over now!"

"hurry up."

Zhang Wei said lightly, then found a seat and sat down.

Then the female shopkeeper took a furtive look outside the store, closed the door, and then turned into the inner room to call someone.

"Don't sleep, big business is coming!"

After a commotion, seven or eight appraisers ran out at the urging of the female shopkeeper. After bowing to Zhang Wei, they began to classify and evaluate Zhang Wei's treasures.

The female shopkeeper diligently served tea and water to Zhang Wei, asked about his well-being, and occasionally revealed her advantages in front of Zhang Wei.

However, it didn't take long for the appraisers to complete the calculations, and finally estimated that Zhang Wei's treasures were worth 15,000 taels of gold.

The female shopkeeper pressed Zhang Wei's shoulders and asked in a charming and attentive manner, "Senior, do you want to exchange it for gold and silver spirit stones or directly exchange it for the treasure you need?"

Zhang Wei put down his teacup and asked, "What treasure do you have here?"

The female shopkeeper straightened her advantage and said proudly, "What do you think?"

Zhang Wei: "..."

That's it?

How dare you show off the munitions in front of me when I can hold them with one hand?
Seeing that Zhang Wei did not respond, the female shopkeeper knew that her temptation had no effect, and she awkwardly took out a book from the cabinet next to her and handed it to him with both hands.

"Please take a look."

Zhang Wei took it and looked at it, and found that although the store was not big, it had a lot of good things.

There are all kinds of elixirs, talismans, and magic weapons from top-grade first-grade to top-grade second-grade, and even three formation plates. The highest-quality one is a mid-grade second-grade Five Yang Fire Formation!

Relying on this formation plate, a cultivator in the middle stage of foundation building can withstand the siege of several cultivators of the same level. It can be said to be extremely powerful.

Of course, the price is also very expensive.

Then Zhang Wei flipped through it again and found some special treasures.

"Treasure Map?"

Zhang Wei raised his eyebrows and looked at the female shopkeeper and said, "Can you guarantee that this kind of thing is real?"

The female shopkeeper smiled sweetly and said, "I can't guarantee that, but as the saying goes, wealth and honor come with risk. Every year in the Jiexian Mountains, there are a few independent cultivators who successfully find treasures and soar to the sky. Some can even find the essence of heaven and earth to build a foundation!"

"We have sent people to check out some of the places listed in these treasure maps. They are indeed guarded by various monsters and even formations. Others are thousands of miles deep in the Jiexian Mountains, so we cannot investigate them."

Zhang Wei was silent. When he first heard what the female shopkeeper said, he would probably think that the treasure map within thousands of miles was safe, but in fact it was not the case.

This should be heard the other way around.

The areas within ten thousand miles of Jiexian Mountains have been fully explored. It is generally safe, with few foundation-building monsters appearing. Therefore, it is the main training place for most independent cultivators. There are also some immortal cultivation families based there, making it easy to set up ambushes.

However, in the area thousands of miles away, foundation-building and purple-mansion monsters appeared in endlessly, and even the Golden Core Monster King had been seen many times.

This kind of place is extremely dangerous for most cultivators in the Five Realms, and only a small number of powerful and brave ones dare to set foot there.

If you set a trap there, or lie in ambush to kill, you will probably be in big trouble if you get hurt by the monsters passing by.

Therefore, the authenticity of a treasure map within thousands of miles cannot be guaranteed. If you buy it, you may be cheated. On the contrary, a treasure map with a target thousands of miles away is likely to be authentic.

Zhang Wei briefly flipped through it and said, "Let's go with the Five Yang Fire Array Plate."

"okay!"
