Eternal Tranquility

The city gate was wide open, and two rows of tall and strong soldiers, holding long axes, stood on both sides of the city gate with solemn expressions. On the city wall, beside the road, and in the fields, everyone's eyes were focused on the two people walking down from the big white bird.

Those eyes were too obviously guarded and hostile, and the warm smile on the burly man's face was even more abrupt.

The other party quickly walked out of the city gate. He held his hands from afar and laughed loudly: "I am Xue Zhen, Lord of Boulder City. This distinguished guest has come from a long way. I don't know how to address him?"

"You're welcome, City Master Xue." Liu Qinghuan took two steps forward and greeted the other party: "My name is Qinglin. These are my two spiritual beasts. I have unintentionally disturbed you just now. I hope you will forgive me."

Xue Zhen looked at the other person calmly. It was clear that the other person's height only reached his chest, but his expression was extremely calm and calm. His aura was hidden and unyielding, bottomless, and his cultivation level was probably not low.

It's just that no matter how high your cultivation level is outside, when you enter this world, you have to be a dragon! Especially these people are cultivating, their bodies are weak, and they are nothing without their magic power!

A trace of sarcasm flashed quickly in his eyes, and the smile on his face did not diminish: "Oh, we are rude! This small place is remote, and the people below have little experience, so they are nervous when they see outsiders."

As he said that, he waved to the people around him: "Go, go, go, why are you all around us, why don't you go do your work!"

After saying that, he warmly greeted Liu Qinghuan into the city: "Fellow Taoist Qinglin has just come in from outside, so he probably doesn't know much about the situation inside. You might as well go into the city to talk about it. I can also introduce it to you."

"Thank you very much." Liu Qinghuan said in a good-natured manner. He took Chu Yi and Yue Jie, who had turned back into human bodies, into the city. As he walked, he asked, "City Lord Xue mentioned the term "descendants of ancestor Xue" before. I don't understand something. I need to ask the city lord: Could it be that everyone in this city inherits the bloodline of Xue Zushou?”

"Hahaha how is that possible!" Xue Zhen walked in front, as if he was deliberately showing off his physical strength. Every step he took was very heavy, and the ground shook as he walked, like a walking piece of meat. Mountain.

He waved his thick arms and pointed at the people passing by: "Look at these people, they are both demons and mortals. How do they seem to inherit the blood of that guy? As for the names of Xue Ancestor's descendants, they are just some poor people. It’s just self-comfort!”

"Poor man?" Liu Qinghuan looked around: "I think it took a long time for this city to be built, and a large area of ​​farmland has been cultivated outside the city. Can you live and work in peace and contentment?"

Xue Zhen smiled helplessly with a self-deprecating look on his face: "If you can't escape, you have to live in shame."

He pointed to the sky: "Every time that guy opens his mouth, a group of unlucky void demon beasts, cave tribes, monks, or other messy things will be swallowed by him. Over time, , there were more and more people in this place, and cities were built, and they continued to multiply from generation to generation. "

"Reproduction..." Liu Qinghuan pondered this word: "So, many people here have been living here for a long time? Could it be that the city lord was also born here?"

Xue Zhen nodded: "Yeah, actually it's quite good here. Now that fellow Taoist has come in, I can live here with peace of mind. Although my city looks broken, it has gone through too many wars, and it is one of the best in the world." Big city!”

One of the best...a big city?

Liu Qinghuan looked at the bumpy streets, the disorderly rows of stone houses, and the ragged clothes of passers-by...

He looked away, and there was a tall and imposing stone palace in front of him. It was made of huge brown stones. From a distance, he could see guards patrolling back and forth. It could be said that it was heavily guarded.

Apparently the City Lord's Mansion has arrived. Different from the rough, primitive and almost dilapidated city scene, the floor inside the City Lord's Mansion is flat and clean. There is also a bright-colored animal skin blanket spread in the living room, and a nine-foot-long bone knife hangs on the wall. The quality is fine and hard, like blood jade with hints of gold, and it is obviously taken from some kind of powerful monster.

Xue Zhen graciously entertained the three masters and servants to sit down. Soon, beautiful maids filed in. Large pieces of bloody animal meat and large altars of wine were placed on the table.

Xue Zhen picked up a piece of meat, took a big bite, and said, "You're welcome to eat! Oh, I forgot that many of you outsiders are those who are fasting and don't like eating meat in the first place. ”

He waved to the maid to bring a plate to Liu Qinghuan on his table: "Then eat this, this should be edible, right?"

Liu Qinghuan looked at the fist-sized purple-red berries on the plate and picked one up. It was quite sweet in the mouth.

"Don't be dissatisfied with poor hospitality!" Xue Zhen said: "You can't grow anything good in this poor place. We eat meat most of the time. If we can't do it, we'll also eat insects."

Even so, he chewed the meat and ate it very deliciously.

Chu Yi, who was sitting next to him, was stunned. He glanced at the white jade-like crystal lump in his hand and hurriedly threw it on the plate, making Xue Zhen laugh again.

"You'd better get used to it early. You'll have to eat anyway in the future." He said disapprovingly: "You monks all rely on spiritual energy to practice. There is no spiritual energy in the sky in the belly, and the only few spiritual veins have been..."

At this point, he suddenly paused.

Liu Qinghuan looked at him: "By what?"

Xue Zhen smiled: "It is occupied by the Unyielding Sect and Potian Palace. They have trapped the spiritual energy generated by the spiritual veins in the formation, so outsiders cannot take a breath."

"There is still a sect in the belly of the sky?" Liu Qinghuan was slightly surprised: "Isn't it possible to use spiritual power here? What's the use of having spiritual veins?"

"Well, I'm not sure about that..." Xue Zhen shook his head in confusion and said with a confused look on his face: "I'm not a monk either. Maybe those guys have other methods? I see that every time they come up with something weird. Everything can make a lot of noise."

Liu Qinghuan narrowed his eyes and did not ask any more questions. He instead asked, "Are the Unyielding Sect and Potian Palace very powerful?"

Xue Zhen curled his lips: "A few hundred people are too big? They are just old people who are unwilling to give up! The Unyielding Sect is the territory of human cultivators, and the Potian Palace is the territory of the demon clan. When they were first established, they wanted to escape. , It’s a pity that after tens of thousands of years, I haven’t seen them succeed, hahaha!”

Liu Qinghuan frowned, then heard the other party laugh and said: "So I say, it's better to stay in peace and contentment. With such a big belly, I don't have to worry about eating and drinking. I don't think it's good!"

Seeing that his expression was not so good, Xue Zhen said earnestly: "You may not be willing to accept it when you first come in. You think this place is a prison, but I still want to advise you. Don't even think about escaping. You won't be able to escape!"

"Really?" Liu Qinghuan picked up the wine on the table and took a slow sip.

"Yes! Isn't there a saying that when you come, take care of yourself? Don't struggle pointlessly if you know it's impossible." Xue Zhen leaned towards this side: "Actually, I also have the intention to invite Taoist friends into the city today. Selfish."

"Oh?" Liu Qinghuan raised his eyes.

"I see that my Taoist friend, Immortal Wind Dao Bone, must be very advanced, so I am willing to use the spirit stone to ask you to be the Archmage of my Boulder City."

"Do you have a spiritual stone in your hand?"

Xue Zhen smiled proudly and took out a large handful of spirit stones and put them on the table: "Of course there are, they are all from those two sects. It takes several hundred kilograms of monster meat to exchange for one spirit stone!"

Liu Qinghuan looked at the dozens of low-grade spiritual stones and was speechless. After being silent for a long time, he said: "Then how many dollars are you going to spend on me?"

I saw the other party picking out two stones from the pile of spiritual stones, thinking about it and adding one reluctantly, and waved his hand boldly: "Three yuan a month!"
