I can identify everything, but this is an upgraded version of identification.

Upon entering the Foundation Establishment stage, Su Changming felt a sense of freedom and a desire to go anywhere in the world.

Just as he was about to walk towards the Su family's residence, Su Changming suddenly stopped in his tracks.

"I've forgotten where the Su family is."

He and several members of the Su family came to the Liuyun Sect on a spirit ship back then. Over the years, he has mostly kept in touch with his family through letters, so he really doesn't know where the Su family is.

Fortunately, he remembered that the Su family was located in Elm City, which was one of the top cities in the Xia Dynasty, with countless officials and cultivators.

All you need to do is ask the officials in each city along the way.

As a Foundation Establishment cultivator, he needed to find the highest-ranking cultivator in the area to receive his guidance before entering the city.

Without guidance, lingering in the city could very well invite an attack from the Heavenly Punishment Division.

After all, Foundation Establishment cultivators are too powerful; given a few days, they could easily slaughter an entire city.

Those in power cannot afford to ignore it.

After flying southwest for dozens of miles, Su Changming could vaguely see a village nestled against the mountains and beside the water.

Slowly stopping his movements, Su Changming landed gently.

Walk on the land with your own two feet.

Flying feels great, but it consumes too much mana.

Unfortunately, he didn't have a flying artifact.

His master had not prepared anything for him.

I don't know if they forgot about it, or if they wanted him to explore the world on his own.

"Father-in-law, do you know where the nearby cities are?"

When Su Changming saw an old man carrying firewood, he hurriedly ran up to him and asked him what was wrong.

"Young master, the nearest city is called Red Evening City. It will be visible if you go straight ahead for thirty miles."

The old man looked closely and noticed that Su Changming was dressed in extraordinary clothes and had a handsome appearance. He immediately spoke respectfully.

"Thank you so much, father-in-law..."

Su Changming casually tossed down a silver coin, then used his Wind Step technique to disappear in the blink of an eye.

The old man rubbed his eyes and looked around in disbelief.

I thought I was seeing a ghost.

When he saw the silver coins on the ground, he was unsure whether he should pick them up or not.

But in the end, greed got the better of him, and he carefully tucked it into his waistband.

If Su Changming knew that the old man almost mistook him for a ghost, I wonder what he would think.

It should be noted that ghosts are extremely rare in the Five Regions, and not a single ghost has been born for tens of thousands of years.

Even if a Golden Core cultivator cannot possess another body, their soul can only return to the cycle of reincarnation and cannot be transformed into a ghost cultivator.

It is said that in ancient times, ghost cultivation was also a major path.

However, as more people began to cultivate, living beings ceased to exist, and the balance of Yin and Yang was disrupted. Thus, a powerful being intervened, restoring the order of Yin and Yang and relocating the ghost cultivators to another realm. All the cultivation techniques related to ghost cultivators were also destroyed and never to be seen again.

This is why ghosts are so rare these days.

"Red Sunset City, this must be it."

Seeing the giant city perched on the edge of the cliff in the distance, Su Changming muttered to himself.

As for the size of a city, it is related to its level.

A first-tier city, covering an area of ​​100 li (approximately 50 kilometers).

A second-tier city, covering an area of ​​500 li.

Third-tier cities, on the other hand, cover an area of ​​thousands of miles.

A first-tier city will have at least one Foundation Establishment cultivator in charge.

Similarly, second-tier cities are overseen by Yuan Dan cultivators.

Level 3 cities are overseen by Golden Core cultivators.

The Xia Dynasty had only one third-tier city, which was its capital, Huacheng.

"Young master, do you have any identification?"

Seeing that Su Changming was dressed in fine clothes and was alone, the soldiers guarding the city dared not offend him.

"No, can I get a temporary certificate?"

Su Changming shook his head.

"According to the rules, it takes ten copper coins to process a temporary identity."

The soldiers guarding the city spoke with utmost respect.

"This is one tael of silver."

Su Changming nodded.

Soon, Su Changming accepted ninety copper coins and an ordinary piece of paper as proof.

It says on it that it is a certificate of stay from January 11th to January 12th.

"Compared to White City, the guards in Red Sunset City are much more courteous."

Su Changming thought to himself.

Upon seeing his clothes and appearance, the soldiers guarding the city immediately became extremely respectful.

But the soldiers of Baicheng didn't care at all.

But that's understandable. The soldiers of Baicheng all came from the city lord's mansion. Back then, Baicheng dared to arrest even cultivators, so how could they be afraid of a rich young master?

The City Lord's Mansion in Red Sunset City is not hard to find; that conspicuous building in the distance should be it.

Generally speaking, the city lord's mansion is the most luxuriously decorated and the largest in terms of area.

Even if it isn't true, asking the owner will tell you.

Su Changming walked towards the conspicuous building in the distance.

Upon seeing the two guards at the entrance, Su Changming cast a spell called the Illusion God Curse.

This technique requires divine sense to perform, so when he was in the Qi Refining stage, he only recorded it in his mind and did not practice it.

Now that they have reached the Foundation Establishment stage and are far away from the Flowing Cloud Sect, there is naturally no need to hide anything anymore.

The greatest effect of this technique is that it can control demons with low intelligence, and it is especially useful for those demons that are physically strong but not very intelligent.

As for bewitching humans who have no cultivation, that is only one of its most insignificant uses.

"Hmm? Which fellow Daoist is it?"

The moment Su Changming stepped into the magic array, the cultivators in the room were startled and hurriedly opened their eyes to ask questions.

"My name is Su Changming. I am passing through this place and wish to inquire about the location of Elmwood City."

Su Changming had some knowledge of formations. Although he couldn't easily break the formation in front of him, avoiding triggering it was quite simple.

The reason for triggering it was out of goodwill, to remind the cultivators inside.

"Fellow Daoist Su, I am Jiang Ning, the city lord of Red Sunset City."

Su Changming only slightly triggered the warning array before retreating. In addition, the other party's aura was solid and his magic power was strong, which made him a Foundation Establishment cultivator. Therefore, Jiang Ning's tone was very gentle.

"The Elm City that you asked about is about 800 kilometers away from here. Even if a Foundation Establishment cultivator can fly, it would still take more than half a month without a spirit shuttle."

Red Sunset City has a teleportation array; ten mid-grade spirit stones can teleport you to Elmwood City. Would you like to use it?

Jiang Ning spoke up.

"800 kilometers away"

Su Changming frowned upon hearing this.

It is indeed inconvenient for cultivators without a spirit shuttle to travel long distances.

Although Foundation Establishment cultivators can fly and their speed is not slow, it consumes a lot of mana.

However, one cannot use all of one's magical power on flying.

Often, after burning half an incense stick, one needs to walk around to absorb some spiritual energy.

In this way, it would be good if one could trek eighty kilometers a day.

Even if Su Changming had the Windwalking Step and the use of "high-grade spirit stones".

It will take about seven or eight days.

If it were a teleportation array, only ten "high-grade spirit stones" would be needed to reach the destination in the blink of an eye, which he could easily accept with his current assets.

It took them a month to slowly fly to the Flowing Cloud Sect on the spirit ship.

We almost forgot that such a convenient thing as teleportation arrays exists in this world.

"In that case, I'll trouble you to borrow the teleportation array."

Su Changming cupped his hands in greeting.
