The Nanman Kingdom is located at the southernmost point of the Immortal Cultivation World of Liuyun Continent. Going further south from the Nanman Kingdom and passing through millions of miles of wild jungle, you can reach another Immortal Cultivation World - Tiannan Continent.
But this is not easy, very not easy.
In the millions of miles of wild jungle, there are not only all kinds of powerful monsters, but also countless wild alien tribes.
Those wild alien tribes are an intelligent race like humans, but they have innate magical powers that humans do not possess.
Every alien in the wild alien tribe has at least the strength of a human monk in the Qi training stage, and the most powerful among them can even be comparable to a true immortal among human monks in the tribulation stage.
It is precisely because of the interception and obstruction of these barbaric alien tribes that the communication between the two immortal worlds of Liuyun Continent and Tiannan Continent has always been unsmooth.
As a result, in order to travel to the other side's immortal world, high-level monks from both sides would rather transit through the Donghua Continent's immortal world than take the risk of traveling through the wild jungle.
Fortunately, although the wild aliens in the wild jungle are powerful, their population is not as large as humans, and they have no intention of leaving the wild jungle to occupy the human world of immortality, so human monks do not have to worry about them causing chaos.
The various unique natural and earthly treasures in the wild jungle have also attracted countless human monks to go there for treasure hunting adventures.
Sometimes some immortal cultivators can even make deals with some wild aliens in the wild jungle, using the elixirs refined by human immortal cultivators in exchange for high-level demon elixirs, animal skins, elixirs and other raw materials.
Of course, more often than not, when human monks encounter wild aliens in the wild jungle, their heads are chopped off and buried in the soil as fertilizer.
After Zhou Yang left the Yunxia Kingdom, he flew slowly and hurriedly for three months before entering the Nanman Kingdom.
Of course he came to the Southern Barbarian Kingdom for the piece of "Nine Heavens Mysterious Gold" that appeared here hundreds of years ago.
"Nine Heavens Mysterious Gold" is the best material for refining the "Qianyang Golden Pagoda". As long as there is a chance to obtain this treasure, Zhou Yang will not give up.
However, at this time, more than three hundred years have passed since the piece of "Nine Heavens Mysterious Gold" disappeared from the world. The monks who still remember this matter are at least Zifu level monks.
Therefore, it is really difficult for Zhou Yang to find out the news about this matter.
Fortunately, he still has plenty of time, so he can take root in the Southern Barbarian Kingdom first and make plans slowly.
With this plan in mind, after Zhou Yang entered the Nanman Kingdom, he went straight to the famous fairy city "Hellfire City" at the southernmost tip of the country.
"Hellfire City" is the largest fairy city in the Southern Barbarians. The founder of this fairy city is the Divine Fire Palace, the largest sect in the Southern Barbarians.
The Shenhuo Palace is a relatively young sect among the top sects, having only been established for more than five thousand years.
However, just because the faction has been established for a short period of time does not mean that it is weak.
In the Shenhuo Palace today, there are three real people in the Yuan Ying stage alone, and there is also a sixth-order high-grade monster called "Yan Jiao" as the sect-ruling spirit beast.
With this level of strength, even many sects in the entire Liuyun Continent cultivation world are at the upper reaches.
As a fairy city carefully built by Shenhuo Palace, "Hellfire City" also has many unique characteristics.
First of all, this fairy city is built on a sixth-level spiritual mountain less than a thousand miles away from the wild jungle. When the monks in the immortal world of Liuyunzhou want to venture into the wild jungle to hunt for treasures, 80% of them will choose to settle in the "Hellfire City", and then either in
Find teammates to set out with, or purchase and supply some consumable spiritual items.
Secondly, there is a natural fire abyss to the west of this fairy city. The natural fire abyss is a hundred miles long and more than 3,000 feet wide. Inside the flame is a raging earth fire that never stops.
The ancestors of Shenhuo Palace used this natural fire abyss to build thousands of weapon refining rooms and alchemy rooms on the mountains on both sides of the fire abyss, and rented them out to all monks at very low prices.
The original intention of the predecessors of Shenhuo Palace was to use this method to attract popularity.
But what no one expected was that after thousands of years of development, "Hellfire City" has now become the permanent residence of individual alchemists and weapon refiners from more than a dozen countries around the Southern Barbarian Kingdom.
And these casual alchemy masters and weapon refiners who are resident here have attracted countless casual cultivators to "Hellfire City" to come here, either looking for people to buy elixirs and magic weapons, or wanting to learn skills from their masters.
.
With this development, the number of monks in "Hellfire City" has remained at more than 100,000 all year round, which is not much inferior to Xianyang City, a famous Xianjia city that has been established for tens of thousands of years.
Zhou Yang rushed outside Hellfire City in the middle of the night. Because it was late at night, he saw at a glance the magnificent scenery in the sky to the west of this fairy city that could not be seen elsewhere.
I saw that the sky to the west of Hellfire City was red and as bright as fire. The darkness was dispersed by the firelight rising from the fire abyss below, making the hundreds of miles around the fire abyss as bright as day all year round.
Looking from the west to the east, all the tall fairy buildings in Hellfire City are shining with auras, and they also emit colorful auras that disperse the darkness nearby, making people want to get closer to them involuntarily.
The fear of darkness is deep in the bones of human beings, so when walking in the dark night, people will involuntarily move closer to the light, and even immortal cultivators with night vision are no exception.
However, the most conspicuous building in the city is the torch altar in the fairy city.
The torch altar is a hundred feet high, and the top of the hemispherical, concave altar is a red flame that lasts all year round.
This torch altar is the landmark building of Hellfire City, the "Sacred Fire Altar".
Because the Nanman Kingdom is far away from the center of the Immortal Cultivation World in Liuyun Continent, far away from the territory of the Beast Control Sect, Purple Star Sect and other sects that have enemies with Zhou Yang, when Zhou Yang entered Hellfire City, he no longer hid his face, but still maintained his "
Huang Yi's pseudonym.
It is worth mentioning that Hellfire City exempts monks above the Zifu level from entering the city. When they learned that Zhou Yang was coming to Hellfire City for the first time, the monks from Shenhuo Palace who handled the entry procedures for him went out of their way to
He asked a young girl who was in the Qi training period who was working as a "wind matchmaker" to guide him.
Of course, Zhou Yang must have paid for the little girl’s travel expenses himself.
Hellfire City does not prohibit flying, but it prohibits flying in and out of the fairy city. Whether entering or leaving the city, cultivators must get close to the city wall and get down and enter through the gate below to facilitate control and registration.
After Zhou Yang led the little girl to take him into the city, he released the "Huan Yun Boat" to carry the little girl around the fairy city under his guidance, while looking for a cave suitable for his practice.
After walking around the city in this way and looking at several caves, Zhou Yang finally selected a fourth-level cave in Nancheng District that was suitable for the cultivation of monks in the Zifu period.
This cave is naturally incomparable to the cave in Xianyang City, but it is not much different. The environment is quite quiet, the spiritual energy concentration is sufficient, and the price is naturally much cheaper. It only costs 2,500 low-grade products per year.
Spiritual stone.
After Zhou Yang paid five years' rent at once, he officially moved into Dongfu.
After moving into Xindongfu, Zhou Yang first went to various shops and free markets in the city to learn about the price level in the city.
After two days of inquiring, and having a firm idea in his mind, he bought a shop in a commercial street not far from the exit of Nancheng, using the rental price of two thousand spirit stones for one year, and named it "Huang".
"The Weapon Refining Shop" specializes in refining various third-level and fourth-level magic weapons and selling the third-level magic weapons and spiritual talismans made by oneself.
This shop is closed down and it can't do without the waiter.
So Zhou Yang recruited an old qi-training monk with many years of experience and a family to be the shopkeeper and part-time clerk at the price of one spiritual stone per year to help him look after the shop and attract business.
He still practices in the cave most of the time on weekdays. He will only go to the shop after receiving orders for weapon refining, or when he has some free time.
In the blink of an eye, three years have passed.
Three years is naturally only a short period of time in the entire life of a cultivator.
But for Zhou Yang, who had ulterior motives, after three years of operation, his goal of integrating into Hellfire City and initially establishing a foothold in the city was basically achieved.
After three years of operation, the "Huang Ji Weapon Refining Shop" under his control has already gained some fame among some mid-to-high-level monks in the city. Many of the city's permanent foundation-building monks and Zifu monks know that another one has arrived in Nancheng.
He is a fourth-level weapon refining master, and his level of weapon refining is very good.
A fourth-level weapon refining master has a certain status no matter where he is, and is also the first choice of many immortal cultivators to make friends with.
Therefore, in the past three years, although Zhou Yang has not received a fourth-level magic weapon refining business, he has successfully established some friendships with several Zifu monks who have lived in the city for a long time, and even received a fourth-level refinement from a casual cultivator.
I was invited by Master Weapon to participate in an exchange meeting between weapon masters of casual cultivation and exchanged some experiences on weapon refining.
Generally speaking, those weapon refiners from big sects and big families would not be willing to participate in this kind of casual weapon master exchange meeting, because what they gain from such exchange meetings is definitely less than their own efforts.
Therefore, Zhou Yang was willing to participate in it and was willing to share some of his weapon refining experience, which gained the favor of many casual weapon masters and indirectly improved his "Huangji Weapon Refining Shop" business.
On this day, Zhou Yang was practicing in the cave when he suddenly received a letter from the Flying Sword.
He took off the flying sword and took a look. It turned out that the messenger flying sword was issued by Xiao Feng, the master of loose cultivation tools he had made friends with. The other party made it clear in the summons that in half a month, the circle of high-level monks in Hellfire City would
There was an exchange meeting held and I asked him if he wanted to participate.
"The wait is finally here! The three years of hard work I have put into building this relationship are not in vain!"
"After this high-level monk exchange meeting, it seems that we can try to inquire about the [Nine Heavens Mysterious Gold] from Xiao Feng. This man is over four hundred years old and has a wide circle of friends. He must know some inside information about what happened back then!
"
Zhou Yang held the Flying Sword of Communication in his hand, his face full of relief and joy.
Xiao Feng is willing to invite him to participate in the high-level monks exchange meeting, which shows that the other party has initially recognized him as a friend, otherwise he would not rashly invite an unfamiliar person into his circle.
And it’s not difficult to find out information among friends, right?
