You kid! You don't have to be so low-key! !

At night, two bright moons were reflected in the sky, shining through the gaps between the towering trees and onto the fire.

Changqing used his only remaining left hand to put the pork chop on a wooden stick and put it on the fire to roast. Jiaocang on the side was looking at the fire quietly, but his eyes betrayed him. He stared at the meat being roasted and swallowed his saliva from time to time.

Changqing was thinking about the situation of the two. Jiaocang had scouted during the day and found that the area within dozens of miles was covered with dense forests. There were no spirits or monsters living there. Only a lot of monsters were active. However, they seemed to have sensed the breath emitted by Jiaocang and were active far away from the ruins.

It seemed that this place had been abandoned a long time ago, which made Changqing feel relieved.

Just now, Changqing was standing on a nearby big tree at night and looking into the distance. He saw a bright light appearing in the far distance, but the distance was too far for Changqing to see clearly with his current cultivation level.

Changqing was not in a hurry to contact the ethnic groups here. He decided to play it safe and heal his arm first. That way, even if a fight broke out, he would be able to protect himself.

The fat from the meat on the fire was roasted and fell into the fire, making a sizzling sound, and soon emitted an intoxicating aroma.

Jiaocang could no longer hold back his saliva, which was now flowing out.

Seeing this, Chang Qing said helplessly: "Okay, eat."

Jiaocang didn't care whether it was hot or not. He bit off a big piece of meat and swallowed it with a look of satisfaction. Changqing also tasted a few pieces. Perhaps due to the influence of spiritual energy, the texture of the meat was unexpectedly good.

After using spiritual power to clean the room, Changqing crossed his legs and began to meditate, while Jiaocang closed his eyes and fell asleep.

In this way, Jiaocang went out hunting during the day, while Changqing worked hard to recover from his injuries.

Two months passed in the blink of an eye.

Changqing and Jiaocang were not disturbed by any living creatures here, and their right arm recovered well.

On this day, Changqing sat on Jiaocang and headed towards the north of this place. That was the area where Changqing saw the light.

In the forest, Jiaocang's four legs are much faster than Changqing's. In order not to waste time, he rides on Jiaocang's back.

In less than half a day, they had traveled nearly a hundred miles, and traces of human activities appeared in the forest.

As he gradually approached the area with bright light, Changqing also felt bursts of noise, which indicated that there were intelligent creatures living nearby.

Changqing felt a little nervous. After all, he didn't know where this place was, nor did he know what these creatures looked like.

He grasped Jiaocang's hair tightly and silently prepared himself for battle.

Not long after, they finally passed through the forest, and the scene before them stunned Changqing.

Not far away is a town. The town is huge, with many buildings and an ancient style.

It was noon, and the place was crowded and bustling.

There are all kinds of shops on both sides of the town's streets, and all kinds of shouting, conversations, and laughter merge into a noisy ocean.

Chang Qing looked carefully and saw that most of these creatures were human, but some of them were strange. Some had wings, some had horns, and some had vertical pupils, as if they were a hybrid of humans and demons. Most of them were dressed in ordinary fabrics. Although not luxurious, it did not feel strange.

People kept talking, and Chang Qing listened carefully, and found that the words were so familiar.

It was the same language as the one used in the cave. After thinking about it, Changqing understood. After all, there were also cultivators born in the cave, and there was also a space channel, so language communication was naturally not a problem.

With a sigh of relief, Changqing asked Jiaocang to shrink in size, then picked up Jiaocang and walked towards the town.

The two men did not attract any attention and no one came to disturb them. They just strolled around and found that gold and silver were also traded here.

When Changqing passed by a store, he suddenly stopped and looked surprised.

He saw something that he had never expected, yet was so familiar: "TV!"

There was an opaque crystal hanging in the store, and next to it was a stone emitting spiritual energy, which provided energy for the crystal. Advertisements for some products were reflected on the crystal.

This discovery made Changqing stunned for a while. It seemed that this kind of product was being sold in the store, and a young man who did not have any demon characteristics was promoting this product.

"This item is called 'Jing'. It was created by the Immortal Master of the Great Merchant Alliance after several years of hard work. It has the function of mapping scenes. It is powered by spirit stones and can receive news stories broadcast by the Merchant Alliance... Rarity makes things valuable. This item is a new product, limited to ten units, each unit costs three hundred spirit stones, first come first served, don't miss it."

The young man was promoting "Scenery", which seemed to be quite popular among wealthy people. Several well-dressed wealthy people were very curious and went in to inquire in detail.

Chang Qing nodded. This sales tactic might be a bit old-fashioned for him, but it seemed just right for these people. What made him even more curious was that spiritual stones could actually produce such items. It was really amazing.

Jiao Cang in his arms yawned, losing interest, thinking to himself, this thing doesn't look delicious, it's not as good as yesterday's stir-fried vegetables.

Looking at the stone mixed with spiritual energy, Chang Qing couldn't help but feel ashamed. The spiritual energy concentration of the spiritual crystal that Grandpa Zhao had given him was thousands of times that of that stone. In comparison, the spiritual stone seemed like just scraps.

However, Changqing sighed with a wry smile, thinking that he probably didn't even have this spirit stone on him now, let alone spirit crystal.

Changqing left the store and continued shopping. On the way, he went to a drugstore. Sure enough, there were all kinds of condiments there, such as star anise and peppers. Changqing once wondered if the seasoning store was named wrongly, as the drugstore was full of seasonings.

He bought some chili peppers, cumin, and pepper, and some books, spending all the little money Changqing had.

Originally he thought that the money would be enough to find a place to stay, but he didn't expect the prices here to be so high. Changqing suddenly became a pauper. A dignified ascetic actually had to worry about worldly gold and silver.

After a while, it was sunset and Changqing decided to go back. After all, sleeping on the street was not a glorious thing, and he and Jiaocang did not want to be disturbed for a short time.

However, there was one thing that surprised Changqing. While strolling in the town, he actually felt a trace of spiritual power fluctuations from a cultivator. After careful investigation, Changqing found that it was coming from a young man dressed in gorgeous clothes, and his cultivation level was just in the Tuojing realm.

Changqing did not interrupt. He learned some information from this incident. Sister Linglong once said that cultivation emphasizes the word "competition". It is conceivable that the appearance of cultivators in just one town means that the competition in this world is even more fierce.

Changqing reminded himself that he needed to be cautious before doing anything.

Jiao Cang was moving quickly in the dark forest. In the darkness, Jiao Cang's eyes were bright purple, as if the darkness had no effect on Jiao Cang. His speed did not slow down at all. Finally, at midnight, he returned to the ruins.

After dinner, accompanied by Jiaocang's snoring, Changqing took out the books he bought during the day and began to read.

I felt a little confused, and I didn't know what to do next after getting here.

"It seems I need to make a plan." Chang Qing thought to himself.
