Xueying is fine now, Long Shuangru and Chen Xiang are relieved! Xueying felt warm in her heart when she saw Chen Xiang and Long Shuangru caring about her so much. This was not the first time Chen Xiang had saved her. She could clearly remember the scene when Chen Xiang saved her.
"Let's go back now!" Long Shuangru said, "I always feel that it's not safe here. There could be danger at any time."
"It's true in here, there are dangers everywhere, let's get out quickly!" Xueying nodded, then she looked at Chen Xiang and said with a smile: "You don't want to take a walk in here, do you?"
"Okay, I'll send you outside and come back later." Shen Xiang nodded. He really wanted to explore this spiritual wasteland.
Xueying is Lu Qilian's apprentice, and is often with Xiao Lizhi and the others. Naturally, she understands Shen Xiang's personality, so she could guess it.
Shen Xiang used the power of space to take the three women out of Linghuang and come to the city outside.
"Qiaoyan, go back to Baihua Village with them!" Shen Xiang said: "If you get bored of staying in there, you can come out and take a walk."
Xie Qiaoyan looked at Xueying and Long Shuangru, then nodded. Xueying and Long Shuangru were a dragon and a phoenix, and their strength was comparable to hers, or even stronger than hers. This showed how extraordinary Baihua Village was.
Shen Xiang took out a jade talisman and left his words to Lv Qilian in it, asking her to make arrangements for Xie Qiaoyan, telling Lv Qilian some things about Xie Qiaoyan, and then asking Long Shuangru to hand the jade talisman to Lv Qilian.
"Be careful on the road!" Shen Xiang warned. These three women were all very strong, so Shen Xiang was not too worried.
After watching them leave, Shen Xiang returned to Linghuang and found the little tree spirit.
"We can't just wander around here aimlessly, we need a goal!" said the little tree elf.
"Take me to the human world in Linghuang. I'm very curious about it." Shen Xiang thought for a while and said. He wanted to see what was different about this ancient Linghuang.
"I'll only take you to that area. I don't dare go deep into it. If I'm discovered by those humans, I'll be in danger." said the little tree spirit.
Shen Xiang nodded, and then entered the little tree spirit's divine sea world.
Three hours later, Shen Xiang came out of the Divine Sea World.
"The world ahead is the human world. There is a big city inside. You are a human, so it shouldn't be a problem for you to go in. If there is a threat, just run away." The little tree elf said, "I am going to go hunting. I need to eat something."
"Okay, then we'll see each other later!" Shen Xiang smiled at the little tree spirit.
"Goodbye!" The little tree elf flashed away and lost the battle.
Shen Xiang looked at the mountains in front of him. He could reach the city where the Linghuang humans gathered by crossing those mountains. With a thought, he teleported to the top of a mountain.
Looking down from the top of the mountain, there are endless houses in front. This is a very densely populated human city. Shen Xiang can vaguely hear noisy sounds while standing on the top of the mountain.
"This Linghuang is indeed not simple. It is protected by a very strong formation. I wonder if I can get in using the White Tiger Leap?" Shen Xiang teleported to the foot of the mountain, and then came to the bottom of the very long city wall. There were quite a few people queuing at the city gate to enter.
Shen Xiang waited in line for a while and was finally able to go in. What surprised him was that this ancient Linghuang also used jade coins!
The fact that his jade coins could be used here meant that the influence of the three major banks also covered this city, which surprised him very much!
In the ancient Eight Wildernesses period, the three major banks actually had such a strong influence.
Shen Xiang asked around while queuing, and learned that many of the people entering the city were from other cities, and some were from the New Eight Wastelands outside. The fee to enter the city was 100,000 jade coins, which was not very expensive.
After entering the city, Shen Xiang discovered that the biggest feature here was that many things were very old, but the overall strength was not weak at all.
Shen Xiang walked around the streets here. Although there were medicine shops, the medicines sold were very low-level.
He also discovered what made this city different from others, that is, there was a city inside the city. When he was walking around, he saw that there was a wall inside. The area enclosed was very large, but he could not go in.
By asking around, he soon learned that in order to enter the innermost city, one must have the cultivation level of the third level of the Daodan Realm. He also heard that even if one has the cultivation level of the third level of the Daodan Realm, there are still many restrictions inside, such as not being able to buy some things.
Now Shen Xiang understood why he didn't see any good things for sale outside, but what made him feel strange was that there were also quite a few people above the third level of Dao Dan Realm outside, but why were they outside?
When Shen Xiang was eating in a hotel, he asked a waiter, and the waiter told Shen Xiang that because it was too hard to survive in there and there were too many restrictions, many people at the third level of Daodan Realm chose to stay outside.
"Why is it so hard?" Shen Xiang was a little puzzled. People at the third level of Daodan Realm would definitely not be that poor. Even if they were a little poor, their life would not be too hard.
"You don't understand. If you enter the inner city, you must do something if you don't have a higher level of cultivation! For example, you must join the army and become a soldier." The waiter said: "This means that even if you don't want to fight, you have to go! Now it's a war between humans and beasts, and there are conflicts from time to time, and the army has to go."
"Why do we need to send soldiers into action? Powerful cultivators can kill the enemy's soldiers at any time, so there is no need to sacrifice soldiers." Shen Xiang said.
"The other side also has generals. If our generals take action, they will also have people of equal strength to contain them. Once a big battle breaks out, people of equal strength will fight at all levels, and the soldiers will often be the most numerous and die the most." said the waiter.
Shen Xiang has not yet reached the third level of Dao Dan, so he cannot enter the inner city, but he also plans to practice for a period of time, so he wants to enter the inner city to take a look.
Although the living environment in the inner city is relatively harsh, it is very interesting to Shen Xiang, and he also wants to understand the role played by the three major banks in this, as their banks can be seen everywhere.
Shen Xiang asked for a room in the inn, then took the Qingyuan Pill and began to practice. He wanted to break through to the third level of the Daodan Realm as soon as possible so that he could enter the inner city as soon as possible.
…
When Shen Xiang was practicing, a group of people suddenly came from outside the city. They were very aggressive, but they still had to line up obediently. The guard at the gate found that something was wrong with this group of people and immediately reported it.
"Lord Bai Ling, you are not dead yet! You have such a miserable life!" An old man in yellow sneered when he saw a middle-aged man walking out of the city gate.
"You look more like a dead person. You are not dead, so why should I die?" The middle-aged man smiled coldly. He was the lord of Bailing City.
