From the time travel, I became extraordinary

Chapter 468 Entering the City
In the jungle, inside a huge valley.

Jiang Yao threw the dried elk in his hand to the ground, looked at the four or five elk carcasses lying on the ground nearby, and took a deep breath.

As he thought about it, the pair of fangs in his mouth gradually disappeared, and the pair of huge bone wings on his shoulders also began to shrink until they completely disappeared.

In the past, every time he reverted from his corpse form to a normal human body, he was skinny and extremely hungry, making himself look like a starving ghost reincarnated.

But this time, after finding the group of elks in the forest and feeding on them one by one, Jiang Yao switched his form to that of an ordinary person. Except for his slightly pale face, he was full of energy, his body was full of flesh and blood, and he did not seem to feel very hungry.

"So this is how the corpse form is used!"

"On the light screen panel, only the progress of the corpse transformation is displayed, but there is no related introduction."

"If I had known earlier that absorbing the blood and essence of living beings could eliminate the side effects of the corpse transformation, I could have raised a group of pigs in my villa. I wouldn't be like before, every time I transformed into a corpse, I would be in a very miserable state and afraid to see people for several days."

"It's just a pity that according to the light screen panel, my upper limit of lifespan is still thirty-four."

"It seems that the lifespan consumed after using the flying corpse form can never be recovered!"

……

Waving his arms, Jiang Yao sensed his current condition.

When he felt that he couldn't be better, his attention fell on his light screen panel.

Deer blood is a tonic. He sucked the blood of several elks until their flesh and blood dried up. Although it helped him recover, he felt a little regretful when he found that his life span was not restored.

As for eating raw meat and drinking blood, Jiang Yao doesn't have much psychological burden.

After all, in the real world, there are a lot of people who like things like drunken shrimps and sashimi, but isn’t that also eating raw meat?

The few elks that Jiang Yao caught were just a little bit bigger in size, so he ate them raw, which was not a strange thing.

"Before, after I was released from the corpse form, I would be weak for several days."

"Now, after consuming a little blood food, my condition has been completely restored. What else can I be dissatisfied with!"

"What do you mean by greed is like a snake swallowing an elephant? This is clearly what I am like!"

After taking a deep breath, Jiang Yao gradually calmed down.

There is no such thing as a free lunch in the world. In corpse form, his strength will be increased at least several times.

It would be strange if such a powerful secret technique had no hidden dangers and could be used without restriction.

Jiang Yao did not stay long in this valley.

His figure was as fast as lightning, flying out of the valley and disappearing without a trace in the blink of an eye.

Three days later, Black Rock City.

The towering city wall, nearly ten meters high, looks so tall and majestic even from a distance.

For ordinary warriors, unless they can soar into the sky, it is difficult for them to cross the city wall silently, no matter how strong they are.

At the west city gate, there was a lot of traffic, mixed in with a caravan. Jiang Yao looked up at the huge city wall that was already within reach.

Even he was equally shocked. He could not imagine how such a majestic and vast city wall could be built by human power.

After all, if we use the measurement unit in the real world, ten zhang is equivalent to more than thirty meters, which is equivalent to the height of more than ten floors.

In that world, the Great Wall, with an average height of only 7.8 meters, has been called a wonder of the world.

Without any mechanical assistance, the city wall can be built to more than 30 meters. If this towering wall of Black Rock City were placed in the real world, I wonder how many people would be shocked.

"Brother Jiang, is this your first time in Black Rock City?"

"Compared to those villages and towns in the wilderness, you can see a wider sky when you come to Black Rock City."

"I don't know, what are your plans after entering the city?"

Looking at Jiang Yao who was somewhat shocked, a middle-aged man in his forties, dressed in tight clothes, smiled and asked a question.

This man’s surname is Zhang, and his name is Zhang Changfu. He is one of the worshippers of the Fang family in Black Rock City and possesses the strength of the Organ Refining Realm.

In the wilderness, the Fang family caravan he was in was attacked by horse bandits. Fortunately, they met Jiang Yao, who enabled them to avoid losses and easily repel the bandits.

Otherwise, even if the Fang family caravan could eventually win, heavy casualties on their side would be inevitable.

"After entering the city, I must find a place to stay first."

"As for plans, I haven't figured it out yet. Let's just take it one step at a time!"

"Brother Zhang, why are you suddenly asking me this question? Do you have any good places to go?"

Jiang Yao shrugged and responded with a laugh.

After leaving the forest, he went back to Xujia Town.

Almost all the warriors of the Xu family, which originally controlled this place, died at the hands of Jiang Yao that day.

Although many members of the Xu family survived, they lacked the strength to control this territory. Today's Xujia Town has become Black Wind Town and is occupied by another group of unknown warriors.

Unless someone provokes him, Jiang Yao would not normally take the initiative to cause trouble.

After strolling around Xujia Town, he left without staying for long.

On the way to Black Rock City, when he passed by the area near the Blood Knife Village, he also glanced over there.

The Blood Knife Village, which used to be of considerable size, has now become a ruin.

In the real world, Jiang Yao only stayed there for less than a year. In the foreign land, he only disappeared for about a month and was not away for too long.

The scenes of the death of the special envoy from Tianwangzhai at his hands are still vivid in his mind.

Considering the conflict between himself and Tianwangzhai, Jiang Yao was very cautious when passing through their territory, trying his best to avoid attracting attention.

The perfect level of Breath Concealment Technique can restrain one's aura and reduce one's presence. Coupled with his strength in the Blood Exchange Realm, he has been safe and sound throughout the journey.

Seeing the Fang family caravan being attacked, he hesitated for a moment, as he had never liked to meddle in other people's affairs, but finally he helped them.

After all, walking alone in the wild would be somewhat conspicuous, but blending in with the caravan and entering Black Rock City together would not easily attract other people's attention, which was more in line with his low-key personality.

"My Fang family is not considered a top family in Black Rock City, but the head of the family, Fang Xiong, is loyal, kind, and has great talents and strategies."

"This is your first time stepping into our Black Rock City. Brother Jiang, you are unfamiliar with the place. I think you can go meet our patriarch first."

"With your talent and strength, if you are willing to join our Fang family, I believe the head of the family will definitely welcome you and give you the most generous treatment."

"With the Fang family as your backer, you can gain a foothold in Black Rock City more quickly."

"If one day you feel that the Fang family is not suitable for you and you have a better place to go, I believe that the head of the family will not force you to stay with me, given his kindness and righteousness!"

……

Speak kindly, Zhang Changfu suggested.

Fang Xiong, the head of the Fang family, was praised to the utmost in his words.

Jiang Yao did not comment on this. After all, he would rather go out on his own than live under someone else's roof.

However, since others were smiling, he couldn't give them a straight face, so he shrugged his shoulders and asked back with a smile: "What is the strength of the strongest person in the Fang family?"

Hearing his question, Zhang Changfu quickly took over the conversation and responded: "The strongest person in the Fang family must be the head of the family, Fang Xiong."

"Although I have never seen him take action personally, people say that the head of the Fang family has cultivated the Fiery Sun Force, the clan's most powerful martial art, to the highest level."

"The Xiantian realm is the upper limit of the Fiery Sun Force, but it is not the limit of the Patriarch."

"With his aptitude and talent, if he could acquire a heavenly-level technique, it would not be impossible for him to become a legendary celestial being."

"It's better to enjoy the shade under a big tree. The stronger the master is, the more benefits we will get as worshippers."

“Brother Jiang, you are so young, but you have already stepped into the blood transfusion and joined our Fang family. If you can be appreciated by the head of the family and valued by him, with his generosity…”

Having said this, he was interrupted by Jiang Yao.

If there is anyone in the Fang family who possesses a heavenly-level technique that can allow one to enter the realm of heaven, Jiang Yao might be a little interested.

But now, judging from Zhang Changfu's words, the upper limit of the Fang family's clan martial art, the Fiery Sun Force, is only innate, which is at the same level as the Wild Dragon Fist.

For Jiang Yao, joining such a family has no appeal at all.

With a calm expression, he laughed dryly twice: "Brother Zhang, among the top forces in Black Rock City, are there any Heavenly Man-level warriors?"

His words were forcibly interrupted, and after hearing Jiang Yao's words, Zhang Changfu, who had been wearing a friendly smile on his face, looked noticeably uncomfortable.

After looking Jiang Yao up and down for a few times, he responded meaningfully: "Below the innate, all are ants. This is a phrase that our master often says."

"Whether it's refining the internal organs or exchanging blood, for a congenitally strong person like the Patriarch, they are all existences that can be easily wiped out. There is not much difference between the two."

“Heavenly level? There must be some in Black Rock City, but only after achieving innate level can we get information about such leaders.”

"As for their affairs, how can a small person like me be qualified to know about them?"

Taking his eyes away from Jiang Yao, Zhang Changfu looked strange and sighed.

After a short pause, he continued earnestly, "Brother Jiang, although you are quite capable, you should not be too ambitious."

"After all, you are just having a blood transfusion. The most urgent task for you right now is to try your best to enter the Xiantian realm first."

"Generally speaking, a free warrior like you who wanders outside the city will definitely not have a complete inheritance. You are lucky to have obtained a martial arts technique that can directly enter the blood exchange."

“From the blood exchange realm to the innate realm, this is a huge threshold. I don’t know how many people are restricted by the practice method and cannot enter the door for their entire life. They can only wander outside the door forever.”

"The chief worshiper of our Fang family was originally an idle warrior like you. He had extraordinary talent and only worked for the Fang family for eight years. His loyalty has already won the recognition of the head of the family."

"After marrying a girl from the Fang family and becoming their son-in-law, the head of the family granted him the qualification to practice the Fiery Sun Force. Now, only three years have passed, and he has successfully broken through and entered the Xiantian realm."

"Now, his position in the Fang family is second only to the family head and several elders."

"In the eyes of us priests, the great priest should be a role model for our generation."

"Brother Jiang, at your age, you have already entered the blood exchange realm. In terms of aptitude, you are no worse than the great priest."

"As long as you are willing to join our Fang family and offer your loyalty, the great opportunity to step into the Xiantian realm will be right in front of you."

“There are some people in Black Rock City who are stronger than our Patriarch, but there is not a single one as kind and righteous as him.”

"Don't disbelieve what I said. Stay in Black Rock City for a while and ask around. You will find out what I said is true."

……

Zhang Changfu's words of consolation fell into Jiang Yao's ears.

As if he didn't hear it, he looked indifferent and never responded.

The Fang family caravan he was in had passed through the west gate and entered Black Rock City within this period of time.

Ordinary people entering and leaving the city gate not only have to pay the city entry tax, but are also subject to very strict inspections.

However, in the case of the Fang family caravan, only a manager came out and greeted the leaders of the guards at the door. Without even a simple search, the group entered the city smoothly.

I don’t know whether it’s because the Fang family has a lot of reputation or if those guards are neglecting their duties.

But all this has nothing to do with Jiang Yao.

After all, he has never been interested in interfering in matters that have nothing to do with him.

The main reason why he rushed all the way to Black Rock City after leaving the forest was because it would be easier to buy various resources related to cultivation within the city.

"I'm sorry, Brother Zhang. I'm used to being free and can't stand any restraint."

"Joining the Fang family and becoming a worshiper may be a good choice for ordinary warriors."

"But others are others, and I am me."

"We've already entered the city, so let's just say goodbye!"

"If one day I can no longer survive in the city, maybe I will really consider joining a certain force!"

……

Walking on the smooth bluestone ground, along the road connected to the city gate that was wide enough for four or five carriages to travel side by side, Jiang Yao walked for a distance of several miles before he paused.

After being silent for a long time, he clasped his fists towards Zhang Changfu and said.

"My lips are almost broken from saying such nice things."

"Forget it. Some things can't be forced. Since you insist on leaving and don't want to join our Fang family, fine, it's up to you. I just hope you won't regret it in the future."

"But before you leave, I still have to kindly remind you."

“Some things, if you miss this village, you will never find that store again.”

"If one day you can't make it in Black Rock City and then join our Fang family, it's impossible to be valued by the head of the family, but the chances are definitely not too high."

"That's all I have to say, Brother Jiang, you better take care of yourself!"

Zhang Changfu paused for a moment and looked directly at Jiang Yao in front of him. He took a deep breath and spoke with a serious expression.

As for the Fang family caravan he was in, it was still moving forward and did not stop because of him.

After all, although he had some strength, he was merely a servant and not the real manager of the caravan.

They had already entered Black Rock City. In broad daylight, in full view of everyone, it was impossible for anyone to blatantly target their caravan.

As the one in charge of military force, Zhang Changfu, a priest in the Lianzang realm, is no longer so important to the caravan today.

"Don't worry, Brother Zhang. This is my own decision. No matter what the consequences are, I am willing to accept it."

"The mountains are high and the road is long, we will meet again if we are destined to do so!"

After clasping his fists and bowing to Zhang Changfu again, Jiang Yao turned and walked towards an inn not far away.
