Looking at the smiling innkeeper in front of him, Wang Chen couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
This is the best inn in Weifa City. If it were placed in Wanling City, it would be totally inferior.
However, to stay here for one day, you need to pay one hundred and fifty spirits!
This price is simply outrageous!
It must be noted that one hundred and fifty spirits is the price of an ordinary single room.
If you want to stay in a higher-end suite, you’ll have to double the price!
No bargaining yet!
Although Wang Chen was not short of spirit stones now, he really didn't want to be taken advantage of, so he paid three hundred spirits.
I plan to stay here for two days.
Two days are enough to fully understand the situation in Weifa City.
Like most inns, this inn called "Cyclamen" also provides meals.
There are more than a dozen wine tables in the lobby.
When Wang Chen returned to the lobby after looking at the guest rooms, most of the tables were occupied by people.
There were several monks who came down from the same batch as him.
"Junior Brother Wang."
A classmate with a simple and honest appearance waved to him: "Come over and have a drink together."
Wang Chen pondered for a moment, then walked over.
This fellow disciple is named Mou Guangji, who is at the fifth level of Zifu and is also an entry-level disciple.
Like Wang Chen, he went to the lower world to gain meritorious service in order to enter the meridians.
Wang Chen and he had met several times before, and they were just acquaintances. This time, we were destined to go to the underworld together.
Next to Mou Guangji were sitting five disciples of the Xihai Sect, all of whom were monks from the Zi Mansion.
"Junior Brother Wang, let me introduce you..."
Mou Guangji was very enthusiastic. As soon as Wang Chen sat down, he couldn't wait to introduce some of his classmates to Wang Chen.
These disciples all started earlier than Wang Chen, and some of them were from the local area of the sect, with a hint of reserve between their brows.
Some are very polite and don't have much airs.
Wang Chen greeted him politely.
Mou Guangji asked: "Junior Brother Wang, which expansion area did you choose?"
Wang Chen didn't think there was any need to keep it secret, so he calmly replied: "Wujiuwu."
"Wujiuwu?"
The eyes of a monk sitting diagonally opposite Wang Chen suddenly lit up: "I am Wu Baqi, Junior Brother Wang. We are neighbors. We should move around more and help each other in the future!"
Wang Chen was speechless - Wubaqi and Wujiuwu are also considered neighbors?
Of course, he still responded with a smile on the surface.
"Junior brother Wang, it's like this."
Mou Guangji said straight to the point: "We are all from the same sect, and we came to the underworld to open up wasteland at the same time. We should help each other and share our needs, so I plan to set up a mutual alliance. I wonder if you are willing to join?"
According to him, everyone is new to pioneering. Although they have been assigned to expand their territories, there is no guarantee that they will not have conflicts of interest with their fellow sects who came down in the past.
Therefore, it is necessary to join a group to keep warm.
This mutual alliance is considered a small organization, and everyone can come and go freely without restrictions. They can communicate or trade when they come to the Defense City to receive supplies every month, and they can work together to solve any problems they encounter.
Although we cannot count on the alliance to be our solid backing, it is still better than going it alone.
Mou Guangji said it sincerely, and Wang Chen thought it was good, so he agreed to count himself in.
Mou Guangji was very happy and personally poured a glass of spiritual wine for Wang Chen: "One more person will bring more strength, let's drink together."
This Senior Brother Mou looks simple and honest, but he is actually a quite shrewd and somewhat ambitious person.
His communication skills are even more powerful, and he has won over more than a dozen fellow disciples in a short period of time.
Join the so-called Mutual Alliance.
There was not enough room to sit at one table, so three tables were put together for a meeting, which was quite lively.
Among these fellow disciples, there are many people who know something about the underworld, and Wang Chen has benefited a lot from the information they revealed.
In the underworld, the biggest enemy faced by the monks who participated in the pioneering work was undoubtedly the evil spirits entrenched in this world.
The Yin Qi in the underworld is extremely strong, and evil places are everywhere. From this, countless strange evil things are derived, some of which have extremely weird abilities and can invisibly hurt people.
If you want to gain a foothold in the underworld, the first step is to build your own guardhouse.
In addition, a defensive formation is essential.
There are also bone-corrosive winds that blow up in the underworld every once in a while. At this time, it is very dangerous in the wild, and you must use special talismans or magic weapons to resist it.
Otherwise, once Yin evil enters the body, the damage to the foundation will be considered minor.
In short, consider defeat before seeking victory, and safety must come first.
Some people also took the opportunity to sell Talisman Pills and magic weapons.
Wang Chen listened more than talked. He noticed that some of the guests in the lobby all showed subtle expressions after hearing everyone's talk.
The old bird looks at the newcomer's expression.
In the next two days, Wang Chen walked around Weifa City and communicated several times with fellow members of the Mutual Alliance.
The area of Weifa City is very large, and there are quite a lot of buildings in the city, but the number of residents is less than 100,000.
And most of them are "indigenous".
It is not entirely correct to say that they are indigenous, because their ancestors are all disciples of the Xihai Sect and are descendants of pioneer monks.
The boy Wang Chen met when he first arrived was one of them.
As long as these people can be born, they must have the foundation for cultivation and have special physiques that can better adapt to the special environment of the underworld.
But because they were born with evil spirits, they could not go to the mountains and seas. They lived in Weifa City for all their lives, engaged in various jobs, and served the Xihaizong disciples who came down to open up the wasteland!
Weifa City is the only city built by the Xihai Sect in the Yin and Underworld, and it can be regarded as the base camp of the pioneers.
Like all fairy cities, Weifa City is also equipped with a defensive formation.
But under normal circumstances, only when being attacked by powerful evil spirits, or during the period of bone-corrosive wind, the city protection circle will be fully activated to protect the residents and monks in the city.
Normally, everyone can only rely on themselves to resist the ubiquitous Yin energy.
The reason why the inn where Wang Chen stayed was so expensive was mainly because there was a magic circle inside the inn, which could isolate most of the yin energy from the outside, making the stay more comfortable.
There are similar houses and residences in the city, but the prices are very high.
As for the indigenous monks, they basically rely on their special physiques to resist the erosion of Yin Qi, but they cannot completely prevent Yin evil from entering their bodies, and their life span is nearly half that of ordinary monks.
On the third day after arriving in Weifa City, Wang Chen embarked on his journey to Tuoyu alone.
Because in the underworld, the power of magical instruments is subject to many restrictions, and there is a possibility of being contaminated by the evil spirit, so it is not suitable for frequent use.
Wang Chen did not use a flying magic weapon to travel, and even gave up flying with a sword.
Flying with a sword is also extremely dangerous here!
