Beiyin Great Sage

Elaborately made snacks are neatly placed on exquisite porcelain plates.

Red jam, white cream, and fresh fruit are dotted in the middle. Not to mention the attractive appearance, the tangy aroma alone makes people salivate.

Through the window sills surrounded by branches and flowers, you can see children playing and laughing on the street, as well as the slow pedestrians.

"This is the inner city!"

Dai Lei's voice was filled with emotion, and her eyes were complicated.

Compared with the chaotic, dangerous, and indifferent environment of the outer city, the peaceful atmosphere of the inner city is like two worlds.

Do not!

Not like.

There are two worlds separated by a wall!

People in the outer city live in fear every day, and even the nobles in the east city sometimes lose their heads for no reason.

And the inner city.

With the Huo Mansion in charge, no one would dare to make trouble here.

Even the leaders of the Yulonghui, Liurentang, and Heilian must be honest, but they all have their own residences in the inner city.

"Yes." Zhou Jia also expressed emotion:

"It's no wonder Situ Lei is so obsessed with the house in the inner city. After entering the inner city, he no longer has to live a life of fighting and killing."

A house in the inner city can be described as a radish and a pit. Unless the former owner is dead, otherwise, even if you have money, you can't buy it.

"The inner city is really good, at least it's relatively safe." Chen Hui nodded and stretched out her hand to signal:

"Eat, try the snacks here, this food cost me an origin stone, I don't know when I will come next time."

"Ah."

The two nodded and had a snack.

I haven't tasted sweets for several months, but I can't help squinting my eyes when I relive this sweet taste again.

Especially Dai Lei.

Since going to the Yulong Club, she has worked hard every day these days, and has never had a full meal, and she has almost forgotten what sweetness is like.

Today is the day Dai Lei and Zhou Jia made an appointment to visit Chen Hui in the inner city.

It is rare for the three to get together, and the circumstances are different.

Dai Lei specially wore gorgeous clothes to adorn herself, but the wrinkles on her face, the calluses on her hands, and the fatigue in her eyes were hard to cover up.

All this shows that her life is not easy.

Zhou Jia became more and more calm. He was not good at words, and he was always vigilant about the surrounding environment, and he never dared to relax.

Only Chen Hui.

Still in good spirits, with bright eyes, full of curiosity about everything here, only slightly sad when mentioning the earth.

The difference in the environment of the inner city and the outer city also changes them.

In just a few months, it has been completely different.

"What are your future plans?" Chen Hui looked at the two of them while eating snacks.

"Plan?" Dai Lei was holding a bean cake in one hand, she had long lost the temperament of an urban beauty, curled her lips when she heard this, swallowed the dessert in her mouth hard, and said:

"Does it count as living?"

"certainly……"

Her voice paused slightly, and there seemed to be a slight change in her eyes:

"If possible, I want to live a better life and not be bullied anymore."

"Me too." Zhou Jia smiled lightly:

"Live well, live as long as you can, see if you can meet people from the earth again, it's best to go back."

"Well, on the basis of surviving, become stronger."

Returning to the place where he came from is an obsession in his heart, even though he knows that the hope is slim, he is unwilling to give up.

"Where are you?" Dai Lei looked at Chen Hui:

"Cheng Qi has been gone for a few months, what's your plan?"

"I..." Chen Hui lowered her head.

Cheng Qi's death was also a blow to her. Although the other party was at fault, the two had good times together.

In fact, in her heart, she had planned to forgive Cheng Qi.

But before she could express her intentions, news of Cheng Qi's death came.

Seeing Chen Hui's expression, Dai Lei pursed her lips.

Facing her friend who hadn't changed or even looked younger than before, she couldn't suppress her jealousy, so she deliberately mentioned Cheng Qi.

"Stop talking about it." Zhou Jia shook his head, changed the subject and said:

"I heard Mr. Huo is married to Miss Qian, will you go to Huo's mansion too?"

"No." Chen Hui shook her head:

"It's not that easy to enter the Huo Mansion. The reason why the housekeeper chose me and Rong Rong was actually to recruit temporary workers."

"Fortunately, Ms. Qian misses the old days. After leaving the mansion, she still let us stay in the original house and do some cleaning errands, but the monthly payment is a little less."

"There used to be two origin stones, but now there is one."

The corners of Dai Lei's mouth twitched slightly.

She worked hard every day, but only had [-] origin stones, only half of the origin stones a month, and she was often bullied.

"correct."

Thinking of this incident, Chen Hui was shocked:

"When Ms. Qian got married, she gave each of us five Origin Stones as happiness money, and asked Sister Cuizhu to teach her the technique of origin."

"I'm now a second grade!"

"Ah……"

Dai Lei's shoulders collapsed, and she rolled her eyes:

"You're so lucky, I'm dying of envy."

"Hee hee..." How can Chen Hui not understand what a good sister is thinking, but the joy in her heart can only be shared by two people, and she doesn't mind.

She was also jealous of Dai Lei's figure.

"Miss Qian was nice to people and told us many things."

Holding her chin up, Chen Hui's eyes flickered:

"I heard that in the distance, there is a place called Hongze Waters. There are many human races living there, and it is far safer than here."

"If I have any plans for the future, it should be to go there."

"Hongze waters?" Zhou Jia was thoughtful.

Although Chen Hui's cultivation level is not high, she lives in the inner city and has some relationship with the Huo Mansion, so her vision surpasses others at certain times.

At least.

He never thought about leaving Huojiabao and going to other places.

"Where are you?" Chen Hui looked at Zhou Jia:

"I heard that you also joined the Ichthyosaur Society?"

"En." Zhou Jia nodded:

"I work in a mine. Something happened to the mine recently. I don't need to go there for the time being. I don't know what to do next."

"It's not bad." Dai Lei said:

"I heard from Zhao Gang that you have made great contributions, and you will definitely be promoted this time. Maybe the mine will be handed over to you in the future."

Zhou Jia shook his head.

This possibility is unlikely. After all, he has just joined the Fish and Dragon Society, and the elders lack trust in him. There is a high probability that he will be transferred.

In any case, it is best to get a raise.

……

On the way back, Zhou Jia went to the refining shop.

What he wanted was already built.

"Your ax has been hammered and some materials have been added. It is harder and sharper than before. The handle is 1.2 meters long, the blade is one foot, and the total weight is 53 catties. It is the best of the low grade."

Imported weapons are roughly divided into upper, middle and lower classes in Huojiabao, but not all of them are classified according to power, but also depend on the price and the materials used.

Zhou Jia bumped the ax in his hand. Compared with the original one, it was one size smaller after tempering, but it was easier to hold and the weight was appropriate.

53 catties, it sounds a bit heavy.

However, he doesn't know how to use a shield, and he doesn't know much about footwork or flexibility. Naturally, the heavier the better, the lethality of chopping monsters like this is relatively greater.

"The material of this shield is Wind Ting Wood, which contains the power of lightning. It is actually an excellent wood. Unfortunately, it is seriously damaged. I can only give you a rough repair here. If you want to bless it, you need to go to the inner city ancient hammer shop."

The shopkeeper handed over the thickened shield again, saying:

"After trimming, there will be more opportunities to trigger lightning in the future, but this kind of electricity can only be effective for people of the third rank or below."

"Stronger people..., unless there are special circumstances, they are almost unaffected."

"Chenghui, sixteen Origin Stones!"

Chapter 021 News

Back at the tree house, as expected, the 'neighbor' was still absent.

Nine out of ten went to the casino.

In the past few days, the other party has only shown up a few times. Compared with the temporary residence here, the casino is probably more like his permanent home.

Good bet!

It's true.

Zhou Jia was actually very curious about this neighbor who occupied the tree house of the Arpu couple, not only about the situation of the baron, but also about the other party's magical method of taming alien animals.

However, such methods must be the ability of the other party to survive, and I am afraid that they will not be rumored.

Returning to the tree house, he checked the layout when he left and confirmed that no one had been there before he opened the hidden inner room.

Another porcelain bottle was taken out from the hidden place of the inner room.

"Boom..."

Pull out the cork and pour out a pill.

The Danwan is the size of a quail egg, dark brown in color, with an uneven surface, heavy to the touch, and has a strong medicinal smell.

Precious medicine!

A precious medicine with five origin stones.

Refining after taking it can increase more than 30 points of practice experience

This item came from Cao Honglai's package, and Zhou Jia thought the effect and effort were not worth it, but fortunately, it was an unexpected gain, and it didn't hurt to take it.

"Guru..."

The precious medicine is dry and bitter, and you have to choke in your throat every time you take it.

But for cultivation, it’s okay to suffer a little bit.

As the smell of the medicine on it gradually faded, a warm current began to emerge from his stomach, Zhou Jia concentrated his mind and began to refine with the three-element rectification method.

An hour later, with the heat rising from his body, he slowly opened his eyes.
