Chapter 283 [Tianxing Continent] 2
The old man was used to it and didn't look up to see where Feng Lan was going. After waiting for a while, he quickly picked up the gold, weighed it, and put it away.
Although spirit stones are more valuable, for mortals like them, gold and silver are easier to keep. This little bit of gold can improve the living conditions of the village and buy two cows...
Feng Lan flew for two days in the direction the old man said. Three or four miles away from the small village, the terrain along the way changed from mountains to rolling hilly plains. Feng Lan traveled at full speed. Because she could fly, it only took her one day. Calculating the distance, she was about fifty miles away from the small village and saw a big city.
It was a typical square-sided besieged city. The city wall was not very high, only seven meters, and was built with huge blue-brown stones. Feng Lan used his mental power to look carefully at the entire surface of the city, and there was a faint stream of light passing by.
There was no plaque hanging on the city gate, but a huge and thin piece of cloth, which was soft and had a special metallic luster. The words "Qingyang" were carved on it with sharp claws. Feng Lan felt a stinging pain in her eyes after just one look. She vaguely saw a huge blue wolf roaring at her. Feng Lan quickly looked away, and the giant wolf slowly disappeared.
Feng Lan was still a little far away from the city, only two miles away, but her good vision allowed her to clearly see the soldiers patrolling on the city wall. They were not wearing armor, but fur, and they exuded a wildness. Some of the soldiers had obvious beast features, and it was unknown whether they were transformed monsters or half-orcs.
Feng Lan watched for a while, then followed the crowd in line to enter the city. She had no money, so she paid silver according to the standard of mortals. Because there was no spiritual energy fluctuation on her body, the soldiers guarding the city judged her to be a mortal who had practiced physical skills and was agile. They glanced at Feng Lan and let her in.
After entering the city, Feng Lan was able to see the appearance of Qingyang with his own eyes. Compared to the large square city seen from afar, after entering the city, various non-human creatures could be seen everywhere. Feng Lan took a quick glance and found that three out of ten passers-by had furry bodies, wolf tails, deer ears, and bird feathers.
I don’t know if it’s because Qingyang City belongs to the Beast Taming Sect and there are many animals in the city, so the roads are built very wide. The first avenue after entering the city gate is 24 meters wide. It is paved with uniform gray stone slabs, and only in the subtle details can you see mysterious characters engraved on it.
There was nothing special about the ground Feng Lan stepped on, except that it was hard. It was probably used to support large monsters weighing tons.
"Miss, I see this is your first time in Qingyang City. Do you need a tour guide? Five taels of silver will be enough!"
"I'll do it. Ten taels of silver, one-stop service. I'll take care of everything from your trip and accommodation for you!"
Feng Lan had only taken a few steps when a group of people surrounded her. However, they were quite sensible. As soon as they saw her steady and powerful steps, calm demeanor and clear eyes, they knew that Feng Lan was not some innocent young lady. What this world has the most is big shots. Every tour guide who came up to recommend her seemed to be pushing and shoving, but in fact they were all at least an arm's length away from Feng Lan, and even if they were arguing, their voices were not loud enough to be harsh.
Feng Lan looked around and chose a girl he liked, "You."
Feng Lan didn't know how much five taels was worth, so she took out a silver ingot from the supermarket and rubbed it into a ball the size of half her palm. There were also unclear fingerprints on it. This made the little girl's eyes sparkle. After thinking for a while, she smiled at her flatteringly and said, "Sister, you are born with supernatural powers. You will definitely become an immortal in the future!"
Feng Lan glanced at the little girl, only reaching her chest. He estimated that she was only fourteen or fifteen years old. There was a pair of inconspicuous gray-brown bird feathers in her hair, scattered among the covering hair. It was not noticeable unless you looked closely. Apart from that, she did not have any characteristics of a half-orc.
Feng Lan hummed, "Lan, what's your name?"
"Sister Lan, come this way. You can call me Cuicui."
The little girl was half a step ahead of Feng Lan. It was obvious that she was very happy to attract customers. Her eyebrows were raised high, and there was an unconcealable smile at the corners of her mouth. Her pair of bright almond eyes were curved.
"This is the North Gate. Did you come from the Hundred Thousand Mountains? Qingyang City is protected by the Beast Taming Sect. The city lord is an elder of the Beast Taming Sect. He has a very high level of cultivation and is a Nascent Soul Patriarch! The one he has contracted is said to be a Qingfeng Wolf with atavistic blood. The city is very safe."
"Do you want to go shopping first or find a place to stay?"
"Let's take a walk first."
Feng Lan responded casually, looking around with clear eyes from time to time.
The road is very wide. The city walls are made of stone, the roads are made of stone, and even most of the houses on both sides are built of stone, with only a few built of wood. Feng Lan can't read, but from the aroma of elixirs coming from these shops, or the neatly dressed servants at the door, he can tell that these should be shops opened by humans.
"okay!"
Cuicui thought for a moment, then led Feng Lan along the road to the center. "Our Qingyang City is most famous for the Jade Dragon Tower in the center of the city. This tower was placed here by the previous leader of the Beast Taming Sect. Everyone says that there is an evil dragon in the Hundred Thousand Mountains. If the evil dragon ever awakens and emerges from the mountains, this tower will protect Qingyang City."
"But this is just a legend. Sister, if you're interested, you can go to the Jade Dragon Pagoda and take a look. Many people have experienced enlightenment after seeing it, and some orcs have awakened their bloodlines after seeing it. If the pagoda spirit takes a liking to you, it will even give you the cultivation techniques you need!"
After walking past the numerous buildings, Feng Lan saw the tall bone tower in the central square at a glance because of the wide road that opened up.
It was a nine-story tower made of bones with a texture like cold jade. The tower was slender and stood like a winding and sleeping bone dragon, emitting a warm light in the sunlight, dispelling the cold feeling brought by the bones.
"Is this... a bone tower?"
Feng Lan was a little surprised. If the legend was true, then using bone dragons to target evil dragons would be a bit of a joke from hell.
Cuicui smiled, her gray-brown feathers somewhat visible in the sunlight. "Yes, this is the beast of the first leader of the Beast Taming Sect. After death, his body was willing to be refined into a bone tower to guard the border of the Hundred Thousand Mountains."
"How could the Beast Taming Sect be willing to place such a magical weapon here?"
Feng Lan raised an eyebrow, a little curious.
Cuicui's expression was a little complicated, her eyebrows were drooped, and she looked a little sad, but the corners of her mouth couldn't help but curl up for a moment, as if she was neither happy nor unhappy.
"Because the Hundred Thousand Mountains cannot be left without a sect guarding them, who dared to refuse when the Beast Taming Sect is located outside the Hundred Thousand Mountains?"
Feng Lan listened to Cuicui's meaningful words. It seemed that even these big sects were not at peace.
