Young master, why not become a corpse immortal?

Chapter 368 The situation is still under control

"One hundred taels to enter the city?"

Lin Jiang raised his eyebrows slightly as he listened to the gatekeeper's words.

This guard was not from Daxing. His skin was an unusually dark color, but his appearance was quite different from the African people that Lin Jiang was familiar with.

It's more like someone from Daxing who deliberately painted their entire face a deep charcoal color.

At the same time, under the scrutiny of Guan Shu, Lin Jiang clearly saw that wisps of flame-like Qi were quietly emanating from the corners of this person's mouth.

People from the Fire-Stricken Country.

Lin Jiang had heard of the Yanhuo Kingdom many times when he was in Daxing, but today he finally saw the living people of the Yanhuo Kingdom.

Under the Qi Observation Technique, Lin Jiang could clearly see that the Dantian structure of this Fire-Disliking person was completely different from that of the Daxing people. Under normal circumstances, the fire-related organ of the Daxing people is the heart, which is located on the left side of the chest.

However, the fire element associated with the people of the Fire-Disliking Kingdom is located in the dantian, directly below the navel, where a flame-like color flickers and dances.

Lin Jiang is currently unsure whether his internal organs are different from those of Da Xing, or whether their arrangement is completely different.

The gatekeeper glanced at Lin Jiang sideways, his expression remaining unchanged.

He even yawned lazily and spoke listlessly:
"This has been the rule for entering the city for so many years. There's still a lot of money to be spent once you're inside."

Although these people were from the Yanhuo Kingdom, they spoke Daxing dialect very fluently, with only a slight upward inflection at the end of each syllable.

It sounds a bit strange, like he wants to fight everyone.

What are the expenses?

"Eating, drinking, defecating, sleeping, all of these cost money."

"Can you skimp on something from everything?"

"How can you call it embezzlement? Our master went through a lot of trouble to build a town in this area, which is surrounded by dangers. It's unreasonable to charge more money."

"Reasonable."

"That's right."

After saying this, the guard glanced at Lin Jiang and the conspicuous canopy-covered carriage behind him, and grinned:

"Dude, judging by your appearance and clothes, you guys must be from Daxing."

"Yes."

"Great Xing is good." The Yanhuo people sighed leisurely, their tone seemingly full of envy, even with a hint of sour jealousy: "Such a peaceful place, yet there are people like you who run to this godforsaken place."

"There are some things that need to be done, so I can't just stay at home all the time."

"Coming to this dangerous place with your belongings and such a nice car, do you really think you're here for a thrilling adventure? Listen to your brother, a rich young master like you shouldn't be looking for fun here. Go home early, lest you lose your life in vain."

Lin Jiang completely ignored him and took out a small piece of gold from his sleeve.

He casually tossed the gold to the guard in front of him, whose eyes lit up when he saw it.

Upon receiving it, he immediately felt its weight. He bit it hard, then carefully licked it on his tongue, spat it out, and roasted it over a flame. Only after confirming that it was genuine did he finally break into a smile.

No one tried to stop him, and Lin Jiang was allowed to walk into the city.

The gold ingot they brought back from the capital can produce a small ingot fragment every day, so they are not worried about money now.

After entering the city, Lin Jiang glanced back at the fire-hating man behind him.

"I had never thought about it before, how were our precious gold ingots made?"

Yu Wenyun was taken aback by Lin Jiang's sudden and tricky question. After a moment of contemplation, he replied:

"This probably requires tracing the cultivation level of the gold ingot itself. If it was stolen, it was looted from elsewhere; if it was an illusion, it was the ability to turn stone into gold; only if it was solidified is it real gold."

Lin Jiang gently stroked the gold ingot in his arms.

Upon closer examination, this treasure indeed contains many mysteries.

Strolling through the streets, Lin Jiang saw a diverse crowd of people. Although he had visited the Hu Fang area of ​​the capital and seen many people from the Western Regions, he found that most of them still wore clothing in the Daxing style.

Many people with multiple arms and eyes usually wear cloaks to conceal their different appearance from the people of Daxing, but they do not hide their features at all here.

At this moment on the street, these four people from Daxing seemed out of place.

Lin Jiang looked around with great interest and suddenly noticed a large group of people gathered not far away.

Something seems to have happened over there.

Originally, I was looking for centrifugal light, so naturally I had to go and take a look when I encountered something like this.

Upon closer inspection, it was discovered that a store had collapsed in half.

Several people dressed in black stood to the side of the store; they looked like the town's guards.

"Hey bro, what's going on here?"

Lin Jiang patted a middle-aged man next to him who looked like he was from Daxing. The middle-aged man turned his head, and after seeing Lin Jiang's kind expression, he rolled his eyes.
"Do you want to know?"

"Yes I do."

"Ten taels of silver."

Lin Jiang glanced at Yu Wenyun, who in turn looked at the middle-aged man. The smile on the middle-aged man's face instantly froze, and cold sweat began to seep from his forehead.

"This...this just happened, a group of people were fighting, a large group of people were chasing and beating a woman."

"What does that woman you're talking about look like?"

"I don't know. I'm just here for the fun. I only heard that it was a young woman, and she was quite pretty."

The middle-aged man's voice was already trembling with tears. He was no match for the invisible pressure emanating from Yu Wenyun. He felt his head go blank and blurted out everything he knew.

Lin Jiang did not exert any further pressure. With a slight wave of his hand, the overwhelming sense of oppression surrounding Yu Wenyun dissipated like mist.

The middle-aged man dared not linger for even a moment, staggering and fleeing in a panic, leaving only a cloud of dust behind him.

Lin Jiang watched the disheveled figure disappear into the distance, his gaze sweeping over the ruined restaurant now reduced to rubble, before glancing sideways at Jiang Jinyue:
"You think this is centrifugal light?"

"perhaps."

Jiang Jinyue gazed at a spot in the ruins before her. Lin Jiang followed her gaze and saw several untimely sprouts stubbornly emerging from the broken walls, spreading a tiny life force.

Those were clearly grown plants.

Manipulating various seeds is precisely the method used by farmers in the past to cultivate crops.

“Someone must have ambushed her; the fight destroyed the shop, but she managed to escape,” Jiang Jinyue said slowly.

At this moment, an unconcealable look of worry shrouded her beautiful face.

Although Li Guang's cultivation was profound, he had still been ambushed and lost his ability to transform his body. The outside world was extremely dangerous, and it was truly possible that...

Falling dead on the way.

Jiang Jinyue dared not dwell on this thought.

With a slight twitch of its sleeve, Little Ginseng peeked out its fluffy little head from Lin Jiang's sleeve. Seeing the worry on Jiang Jinyue's face, it hesitated for a moment, then gently jumped along Lin Jiang's clothes and landed steadily on her slender shoulder.

Xiao Shanshen placed her slender arm on Jiang Jinyue's head and patted it gently up and down, comforting her:

"It's okay, everything will be alright!"

Hearing Xiaoshan Shen's soft voice, Jiang Jinyue's originally anxious mood gradually calmed down.

He didn't say anything more for the time being, but simply turned his head and asked Lin Jiang:
"What should we do next?"

"Let's just ask those two directly and then we'll talk about it."

Lin Jiang pointed to the two people who were working, and knowingly took out a candle and lit it.

The candlelight cast long shadows on everything on the street.

The shadows of the surrounding pedestrians grew longer and longer, as if they were obscuring their vision and their thoughts.

One, two, three, by the candlelight, approached the two minor officials who were still staring at the ruins and asked in a low voice:

"Did you see where those people went?"

……

"They left town?"

A pretty young woman rubbed the back of her index finger against the thumb ring, glancing sideways at her subordinate kneeling on one knee.

The subordinate nodded repeatedly:

"They made a huge commotion, fighting from East Street to West Street, and then rushed out of the West Gate. Many people saw it."

The woman let out a muffled groan:
“These outsiders probably don’t know the rule of not leaving town. They dare to start a fight in town. They don’t take me seriously at all.”

"That's what the master said."

The subordinates responded respectfully.

The mansion where the two were located was, from the outside, just an ordinary mansion that was taller than the surrounding buildings.

But once you pass through the doorway, you'll see mountains and water, lush forests, and a clear, bright sky.

This is the town lord's residence.

The town lord's name is "Chang Li". She looks exactly like a young girl, with stunning beauty, but no one knows her true age.

It is widely believed that this woman is the successor of the old-school Divine City Star Pointing Path, and her age should be similar to the year of the founding of the Great Xing Kingdom. Some people even say that she is a survivor of the Divine City's remnants, and may have lived for two or three hundred years.

Regardless of her age, with her advanced cultivation and numerous treasures, she has firmly secured her position as the town's lord.

Within the territory of this town, unless a master from the Eighth Heaven personally arrives, or several Star-level cultivators join forces to attack, no one can shake its might.

"How skilled are these outsiders?"

"They all seem to have touched the threshold of the Star Pointing Realm. Although the pursued one is in the Illusion Realm, his Body Transformation Technique is rudimentary and he is injured; among the pursuers, one is not in the Illusion Realm and the other has a weak family background and poor cultivation, neither of them are proper Star Pointing Realm cultivators."

The town lord's subordinate was clearly quite knowledgeable, analyzing the situation clearly in just a few words. Chang Li nodded slightly after listening, knowing that the current situation was still under control.

He immediately stood up, a cold smile appearing on his face:
“I want to see who this person is who dares to cause trouble here… I will make sure they know the consequences of breaking the rules.”
