The stolen magic is a bit magical

"It's just that things are valued because they're rare!" Lin Xiaosu said. "If the old man likes the food from that world, why doesn't he try to go there and taste all kinds of delicacies?"

"Young man, are you simply unaware of this common sense, or are you taking advantage of this old man's ignorance?" Old Zhang said, "Besides your Li Tian clan, which of the underground alien races can enter that world? Who dares to enter that world?"

"Oh?" Lin Xiaosu said, "I grew up in that world and know nothing about this place. Could you please tell me the secrets of this place?"

He reached out and pulled out three more bags of food.

This time, he went all out, buying a whole bag of his favorite spicy beef.

Old Zhang ate a piece of each kind of food, each time with an expression of utter delight, and started talking to Lin Xiaosu...

A flood of strange tales and secrets came rushing in, and even with Lin Xiaosu's vast and unparalleled knowledge, she was still so shocked by this pile of explosive news that she didn't know where she was.

This place is known as Mingqiaojie.

It is not actually the inner Earth.

It is merely a bridge between two worlds.

It's very similar to Kunming and Cangzhou.

What they have in common is that they are transitional zones.

Kun Cang is a transition between the mortal world and the ancient wilderness; the ancient wilderness is reflected in Kun Cang.

This bridge is the transition between the mortal world and the inner world, where the shadows of alien races from the inner world can be seen.

They are all just transitions, they all have shadows, and they all have constraints.

The constraint of Kun Cang is that those who have reached the Enlightenment Realm in Kun Cang cannot unleash their Enlightenment Realm combat power once they leave Kun Cang and enter the mortal world; they can only be slightly stronger at the Sky-Gazing Realm, which makes them afraid to leave Kun Cang.

The constraints on this bridge are even more thorough.

The alien races inside the earth cannot leave the bridge boundary at all. Once they enter the outside world, the gentle breeze, the bright moon, the sunshine, and even the clean air will be unbearable for them!

For one simple reason: at least the people in Kuncang are human.

But the people living in this area are not human.

They are an alien race from the Earth's core, primarily composed of silicon-based life forms.

Silicon-based life forms are not suited to the external environment.

There is only one exception: the Li Tian clan.

The Li Tian clan is the only race capable of traversing between the two realms because they are originally a hybrid race.

They are a hybrid of the Li and Ren ethnic groups.

They bear the marks of both races.

Li ethnic group!

This is the ancestral clan of the Li Tian clan!

The Left Envoy and Qingru crossed the border to visit the Li ethnic group.

"What kind of ethnic group is the Li people?" Lin Xiaosu asked Lao Zhang this question while he was enjoying his spicy beef jerky.

"Young man, you don't even know your ancestral clan?" Old Zhang chuckled. "The Li Clan is one of the more powerful races among the twenty-seven major clans of the Bridge Realm. They possess formidable physical strength and inexhaustible bloodline power. Their status among the alien races of the Earth's core is roughly equivalent to that of the True Dragon Clan among the myriad races of the surface world. Unfortunately, their population is sparse, probably no more than a million in this Bridge Realm. This is likely the real reason why they set their sights outward, ventured out to interact with humans, and ultimately gave rise to your Li Tian Clan..."

Lin Xiaosu's worldview was once again overturned.

This bridge area is unusually large.

Twenty-seven major clans—note, this refers only to the major clans! It does not include smaller clans. Including smaller clans, there are easily one or two hundred.

A million people is considered a small population.

Even this bridge boundary is merely a transitional boundary...

The inner Earth is a world beyond our imagination.

He also traced the origins of the Li Tian clan. The real reason was that the Li people were few in number and looked outward. In order to expand their population, they broke through the constraints of biology, interacted with humans, and thus a completely new race was born: Li Tian.

"Grandpa, I'm about to enter this world. Is there anything you'd like to tell me?" Lin Xiaosu presented the third batch of snacks, a total of ten bags.

Old Zhang was so happy he could hardly see, he put all the snacks away and gave him a bunch of advice...

There was one rule that left Lin Xiaosu speechless.

The old man told him: If you have the chance, seduce a Li woman with golden hair. As long as you can make her fall in love with you, you will rise to the top in this world.

Seducing women!

Moreover, the one he seduced was an alien race from the subterranean earth.

This made Lin Xiaose sigh deeply.

why?

The old man explained that the Li ethnic woman with golden hair was a member of the royal family of the Li people.

The royal family is not just about noble status.

The power of their bloodline is unprecedented and unparalleled. From now on, your descendants will also inherit this bloodline power...

"Thank you for your advice, sir! I'm leaving now, goodbye!"

Lin Xiaosu strode down the mountain, while the old man squinted, munching on snacks, and watched him leave.

After Lin Xiaosu turned a corner, the old man leaned back and disappeared into the rocks, which was so bizarre and eerie.

Lin Xiaosu followed the main road all the way to the city.

The city is named Yan City.

On the main road, there were all kinds of races and countless monsters, but Lin Xiaosu was calm at this moment because he had already learned about this world from Lao Zhang, although it was only a general framework.

No one was interested in him, except for a few beautiful women in the brothel next door.

Of course, "beautiful woman" is in quotes.

These women wore heavy makeup and had a fragrance, even if the fragrance had a sulfurous smell, at least it didn't stink.

She stood leaning against the railing, waving a handkerchief.

What kind of feeling does it evoke?

If you preserved the streets and buildings of Bianjing (Kaifeng) during the Song Dynasty, but replaced all the people, this would be roughly what it looked like. The customs, traditions, thoughts, and even values ​​of the people would be similar to those of feudal society.

It's just that people are of different types.

It takes a lot of thought, doesn't it?

What Lao Zhang said really deserves careful consideration.

What he told Lin Xiaosu was...

Their ancestors had also come into contact with terrestrial civilizations, and many things were brought over from that great war between heaven and earth.

The phrase "many things" contains a great deal of information.

Values, ideas, architectural art, food culture, language, writing...

If you think about it simply, it's actually acceptable.

But Lin Xiaosu's thoughts were not so simple.

He thought of the time of the great war between heaven and earth.

That was tens of thousands of years ago!

Not thousands of years!
In his world, the origin of human civilization is only a few thousand years old, with no record of it dating back tens of thousands of years.

According to Lao Zhang, in fact, the era of the Great War of Heaven and Earth, when all kinds of races coexisted, also had an ancient civilization, whose level of civilization and development were almost identical to those of feudal society.

Is history truly a great cycle?

Is civilization truly just a constant cycle of reverting to the past?
What about the written word?
Could it be that the writing system we use today is not unique to this civilization, but rather borrowed from ancient civilizations?
The reason why the inner Earth is so close to the Great Xia civilization is simply because the Great Xia civilization has never been interrupted.
"Young master, what would you like to eat?" A waiter bowed to Lin Xiaosu.

This is a member of the Li Tian clan.

This is probably the essential strategy for running a hotel in the world of Bridge Realm, where hundreds of races coexist: which race comes and which race is treated accordingly.

"Just bring some food and drinks!" Lin Xiaosu raised her hand and handed over a ten-tael silver note.

The eight sumptuous dishes made Lin Xiaosu realize the purchasing power of the "silver notes" in this space.

When you put it in your mouth, your taste buds explode.

The two realms are truly beyond words.
The two-yuan-a-bag snacks made Old Zhang, who had lived for three thousand years, squint with delight.

Even a random dish in the hotel was enough to make Lin Xiaosu's taste buds explode.

These are all unique feelings brought about by novelty...

His Heavenly Dao Primordial Spirit, combined with his spiritual power, swept across the restaurant, sensing the hodgepodge of various different energies.

In this world, his Heavenly Dao Primordial Spirit is still as useful as ever. He can clearly distinguish the aura of various races, and he can even judge the strength of the life aura of these races.

It's strange, how come this supernatural power didn't work on Lao Zhang?
He couldn't sense any life force in Lao Zhang at all.

He even almost stepped on Lao Zhang's "hand" at first...

He also thought that this special space suppressed the power of the Heavenly Dao, since the Heavenly Dao and the "Earthly Dao" are opposed to each other.

Suppression is normal.

In fact, there was no suppression.

Could it be that the Zhang race possesses a special ability to conceal their aura?
He really wanted to find a "Rou Clan" with two legs and six arms, similar to Lao Zhang, to verify this, but as far as he could see, there was no such race, so he had no way to verify it.

Suddenly, he felt an extremely strong fluctuation of energy.

His heart skipped a beat as soon as his Heavenly Dao Primordial Spirit locked onto it.

His gaze fell on the room, and behind the shadowy curtains, he saw a person.

Blonde woman.

Her hair was as golden as gold, pure and without any other color, and it was tied up with a white jade ring, which highlighted her noble temperament.

Her skin was fair with a rosy glow.

Her facial features conform to the golden ratio of humans.

Her breasts have the most beautiful curves.

She wore a tight-fitting outfit that accentuated her perfect curves, giving her an explosively beautiful appearance.

If she were to appear in the outside world, she would be considered a royal princess.

But this is the Earth's core, and Lin Xiaosu wasn't sure whether she was beautiful or ugly according to the aesthetic standards of the Earth's core races, but in his opinion, she was the one who best matched his aesthetic standards.

Old Zhang had just told him that if he encountered a woman with long blonde hair, he should seduce her.

If she falls for you, you'll be set for life.

The words were still ringing in my ears, regardless of whether they were advice or flirtation...

The next moment, he saw a blonde woman whose entire body conformed to his aesthetic standards...

His Heavenly Dao Primordial Spirit searched the room.

There were two other people with the woman.

Silver hair.

An old man and a young boy, a man and a woman.

The older one was a man, with a fierce appearance.

The one less was a woman, dressed in a maid's outfit, apparently the blonde woman's personal maid, and she had a sweet appearance.

Lin Xiaosu moved her Heavenly Dao Primordial Spirit away and continued her search.

In the next room, there were also two people with unusually strong vital energy.

Lin Xiaosu pressed his hand against the wall, just like using the Heavenly Dao Primordial Spirit to observe stones. With the Heavenly Dao Primordial Spirit as his eyes, he sensed that the people in the room were from the Scale Clan.

The Scaled Clan are covered in scales, including their faces; one is entirely covered in black scales, while the other has alternating black and white scales.

The black-and-white scaled creature asked, "Do you see that Li woman?"

Lin Xiaosu's heart skipped a beat at those words, because as the Scaled Clan member spoke, a sharp, cone-like claw rested on the table, pointing directly at the location of the blonde beauty. (End of Chapter)
