When entering the city, Wang Chen encountered trouble.
The gate of Taiwu City is extremely tall and thick, and a small door is opened under the gate for merchants and travelers to enter and exit.
There were heavily armed warriors guarding both inside and outside the city gate, checking passers-by.
There is no fee to enter the city, but outsiders like Wang Chen are subject to very strict inspections.
"Open your package."
A warrior pointed expressionlessly at the baggage Wang Chen was carrying.
Wang Chen hesitated for a moment, then took off his package and opened it. The white fox hidden inside immediately revealed its head.
Clang!
The city guard warrior was startled and subconsciously pulled out the long sword at his waist.
"What's up?"
The few warriors nearby reacted quickly and immediately gathered around, staring at Wang Chen with eager eyes.
Wang Chen calmly touched the little fox's head and said, "Don't panic, everyone. This is my pet white fox. I have raised it since childhood."
The white fox made a cooperative "whoosh" sound a few times and pressed its face tightly against Wang Chen's palm.
A cute and harmless look.
The warriors felt relieved and put away their weapons.
The martial artist who was responsible for checking Wang Chen frowned and said: "There are rules in Taiwu City. Private pets must be registered. Otherwise, they will be captured and killed as wild animals. Since it is your first time here, I will let you go."
, but you must go to the Chief Secretary’s Office to handle it.”
Wang Chen nodded: "I understand."
The warrior waved his hand: "Go in."
Wang Chen: "Thank you very much."
What Wang Chen didn't expect was that as soon as he stepped through the wide doorway and took a few steps into the city, someone was chasing him: "Your Excellency, please stay!"
Wang Chen stopped in confusion: "What's the matter?"
The other party was a gentle middle-aged man. He said with a smile: "The white fox you raised is very interesting. My master was very happy to see it just now. I wonder if you are willing to part with it?"
I actually want to buy a white fox!
Wang Chen shook his head and said, "I can't let go of what I love. I'm sorry."
After saying that, he was about to leave, but was stopped by the other party again: "Sir, the price is negotiable, how about three thousand jade coins?"
The middle-aged man held up three fingers with an expression of "You've made a lot of money" without giving up.
There was a soft cry all around, and many people looked at Wang Chen with envy in their eyes.
The scene where Wang Chen was negotiating with the city guard warriors because of the white fox was watched by many people just now. No one expected that someone would pay such a high price of three thousand jade coins to buy a pet beast.
Wang Chen was impatient: "I won't sell it!"
What he hates the most is guys who keep pestering like this.
The middle-aged man was disgraced in public, and his face immediately sank in displeasure: "You know..."
As a result, before he finished speaking, Wang Chen's figure disappeared from his eyes.
The middle-aged man rubbed his eyes in disbelief, then looked around to no avail, and finally returned to a luxury carriage parked on the roadside in despair.
"Owner."
He reported tremblingly: "The man refused to sell it and has now run away."
"What a waste!"
A shrill voice came from the carriage: "This white fox looks very spiritual. Miss Shangguan will definitely like it. I don't care what method you use, you must find him, otherwise..."
"Come back to me with your head in hand!"
The middle-aged man lowered his head: "Yes!"
At this moment, Wang Chen didn't know that someone actually regarded Hu Jiaojiao as a must-win. He was following the bustling crowd and walking on the main road of the city.
Taiwu City is the largest city in Wushan Realm. Not only is it the largest city, it also has the largest population.
It is said that there are millions of people living within and outside the city within a radius of hundreds of miles!
Wang Chen had only heard of Taiwu's reputation before, but today he could truly appreciate its prosperity and prosperity.
And the people here, whether they are business travelers, city residents, farmers, or waiters and maids who stand in front of shops and greet customers, all are full of energy and energy.
The proportion of warriors is extremely high.
Along the way, Wang Chen sensed several acquired masters!
In other cities, acquired masters are the top role after the city lord, but they are very common in Taiwu City.
Mr. Yao told Wang Chen that those extraordinary monks who entered Taoism rarely settled in the city. Most of them opened caves deep in Taiwu Mountain to practice in hiding, and a few established large sects.
Unlike Chibi City, whose power structure is quite simple, the structure of Taiwu City is very complex. Many forces including government agencies, sects, families, and martial arts schools are involved in each other, and the entanglements between them are extremely deep.
But Wang Chen didn't come here to conquer this city. Once they found Xuanhu Ling, he and Hu Jiaojiao would definitely leave, so they didn't care much about these things.
For Wang Chen, the most important thing right now is to find a place to stay.
This matter is quite simple, because the business in Taiwu City is extremely developed, and there are many tooth shops. Wang Chen found a house to inquire, and soon rented a nice house in the east area of the city.
This house is not large in area, but it also has a front yard, a main room, a side room, a kitchen, etc. Although it is small, it is fully equipped with all the necessary furniture and furnishings.
But the rent is staggeringly high, more than ten times that of the same house in Chibi City!
But Wang Chen didn't care about this "little money", so he immediately signed a deed with the dentist and the landlord and paid one year's rent at a time.
When leaving Chibi City, Wang Chen brought a lot of purple gold coins with him.
If there is no storage equipment and there is no way to take away the contents of Yao Lao's secret vault, otherwise it would be easy to buy a house larger than this, let alone rent a house.
In the future, Wang Chen will not be able to bring these coins back with him when he returns to Haotian Realm, so he will naturally feel no pain at all when spending them.
Seeing Wang Chen's generous spending, Ya Ren felt happy and asked: "Dear guest, do you need any servants in the house? I can help you get some capable maids to come over."
"No."
Wang Chen threw a purple gold coin to the other party: "This is for you."
After dismissing the tooth man, Wang Chen closed the door and walked around again looking inside and outside.
It's time to really settle down.
Yao Lao suddenly said: "Boy, there is a secret warehouse of mine in this city. Do you want to go and take a look?"
He emphasized: "The biggest!"
Wang Chen suddenly became interested: "Is there any elixir that can help Jiaojiao improve her rank?"
Yao Lao: "There are no elixirs, but there are definitely medicinal materials!"
That's good!
Wang Chen immediately decided: "Let's go take a look tomorrow."
The next moment, the white fox who followed Wang Chen around jumped into his arms and rubbed his head affectionately.
Wang Chen stroked the fox's tail gently, thinking in his mind who knew who had the Xuanhu Ling in his hands, and when he would be able to feel the little fox in his arms again.
