It’s Monday, Wangyu’s third update broke out and I’m asking for recommendation votes!
………………
"Shitou, are you going to the city?" Cai'er asked.
Shi Mu nodded. After running around in the wild for so long, he did have a lot of things that needed supplies.
The scale of Jiahe Pass is also quite large. Although it is far inferior to Tianyu City, it can definitely be called a large border city.
The city wall is seven or eight feet high, and is made entirely of dark red stone. It looks very rough, but it is extremely strong, like crawling dark red giants.
There was a heavy snowfall yesterday, and now Jiaheguan is covered with a layer of white, adding a bit of exotic style to it.
Shi Mu glanced outside the city for a few times, then straightened his clothes and walked toward the city gate.
Jiaheguan is the only city within a hundred miles nearby. There is an exit in the north and south of the city. There are many small towns nearby, so there are many people coming in and out of the city from north to south, forming a long queue at the city gate.
Shi Mu blended into the crowd and slowly waited in line.
There were some Qin soldiers guarding the city gate, and there were also two men in black clothes standing idle aside.
Shi Mu glanced at the two men in black robes. Although there were no other markings on the two men, he quickly guessed that they should be disciples of the Heavenly Demon Sect.
Jiahe Pass was relatively lax in checking people entering and exiting, which was completely different from Tianyu City. Shi Mu paid a small entrance fee and successfully entered the city.
Looking at it, the styles of Jiaheguan and Tianyu City are very different. They are dominated by thick and simple towers, and the stones used are all black. Although they are far less exquisite and gorgeous than Tianyu City, they still show a rough and majestic look.
Awesome spirit.
When entering the city, Shi Mu learned from the people around him that the city was mainly divided into two major urban areas: south and north, connected by a wide black stone main road.
This main black stone road is extremely wide, enough for four or five horse-drawn carriages to drive side by side. There are rows of shops on both sides of the street, and it is very bustling with the flow of people.
In addition to this main street, there are many side-by-side sub-districts, but they are far less prosperous than Blackstone Avenue.
Shi Mu walked on the main street, looking at the shops on both sides.
There are leather shops, blacksmith shops, material shops, grocery stores, and restaurants all available here, as well as many shops selling specialties from the Qin Kingdom, which really opened Shi Mu's horizons.
Cai'er also looked around curiously, and occasionally let out one or two exclamations, attracting passersby's attention.
Jiaheguan is not Tianyu City. There are only a few people like Shi Mu who go out with pets, which is quite eye-catching.
Shi Mu glared at Cai'er, asking Cai'er to calm down.
There must be many people from the Heavenly Demon Sect in Jiahe Pass. He is going to the Heavenly Demon Sect to attend the Magic Sun Ceremony. He doesn't want to attract attention unless necessary.
"Shitou, is there anything you want to buy?" Cai'er squatted on Shi Mu's shoulder and asked honestly.
Shi Mu ignored it and stopped in front of a shop with a wide front. There was a plaque hanging on the door of the shop with the three characters "Baizhen Pavilion" written on it.
Baizhen Pavilion is a shop that sells various materials. It is very large, with four or five shops in front of it alone. Compared with the nearby shops, it feels like it stands out from the crowd.
There are much more people entering and leaving this store than other places.
Shi Mu smiled slightly and was about to go in. At this moment, he frowned and turned to look towards the street on the left.
"What's wrong?" Cai'er glanced at where Shi Mu was looking.
There was only the flow of people in Chuanxi, and it didn't look out of the ordinary.
"Nothing." A trace of doubt flashed in Shi Mu's eyes. Just now he felt a strange sight there, but it disappeared so quickly that even he was not sure whether it was his imagination.
Shi Mu looked there again and walked towards the store.
Behind a loft building in the distance on the left street, a figure slowly walked out, a young man in his twenties.
He glanced at Baizhen Pavilion, took out something from his arms and looked at it, with a hint of joy on his face, and turned around and walked quickly towards the distance.
In a private room in Baizhen Pavilion, Shi Mu was sitting here, sipping tea.
Cai'er sat on the table nearby, picking at a plate of snacks.
He put down the cup with a smile on his face.
After just entering the door, he didn't want to waste time, he let out a little bit of his innate aura, and was immediately led to this box.
He sighed in his heart, no matter where he is, strength is the most important thing.
After a while, there was a sound of footsteps, the door of the box rang several times, and a middle-aged man in blue robe opened the door and walked in.
"We are here as distinguished guests. Please forgive me for not being able to welcome you from afar." The middle-aged man in blue robe glanced at Shi Mu and said with a smile on his face.
"Your Excellency, you're welcome." Shi Mu thought in his mind, and his consciousness came out. He glanced at the middle-aged man in blue robe and immediately sensed the middle-aged man's strength. He was also an innate being, and his cultivation level was between the early and middle innate stages.
, similar to Shi Mu today.
Shi Mu felt satisfied for a while. Over the past few days, he had become more and more aware of the wonderful use of spiritual consciousness, which was very convenient.
It's a pity that his power of spiritual consciousness is still very weak, and the range he can explore outside the body is too small.
"This fellow Taoist looks very unfamiliar. I'm Qin Shi in Baizhen Pavilion, haven't you asked my fellow Taoist his name yet?" said the middle-aged man in blue robe.
"Mu Shi." Shi Mu's heart moved and he gave a false name.
"So it's Fellow Taoist Mu. I wonder what you want to buy when you come to our Baizhen Pavilion?" The middle-aged man in blue robe also seemed to be a cheerful person. He went straight to the topic without too much politeness.
"Mu wants to buy some demonic energy, and he wants the best kind." Shi Mu said.
The ape essence and blood have been obtained, and as long as there is more demonic energy, he can immediately start practicing the powerful demonic ape rebirth technique.
In these days of fighting, he felt more and more the importance of strength. He had reached the peak of Prajna Celestial Elephant Skills. If he wanted to increase his physical strength, he could only practice the Powerful Demonic Ape Rebirth Technique.
"Evil spirit?" The middle-aged man in blue robe was a little surprised.
"Why, does it mean that your pavilion doesn't have this kind of thing?" Shi Mu asked.
"Our store naturally has the demonic aura, and coincidentally, our store has just purchased a batch of the highest quality demonic aura." The middle-aged man in blue robe said quickly.
"Oh, that's good," Shi Mu said.
"Fellow Daoist Mu, wait a moment." The middle-aged man in blue robe stood up and walked outside.
…
A quarter of an hour later, Shi Mu walked out of Baizhen Pavilion with a smile on his face.
Da Qin was worthy of being the home of the Heavenly Demon Sect, and the quality of the Demonic Qi sold was extremely high, so he bought a large quantity in one go.
Although he spent a lot of spiritual stones, he got a large amount of spiritual stones from the fat Taoist man. Now that he has a rich family, he doesn't care about these spiritual stones.
In the following time, he went in and out of several grocery stores and purchased a batch of dried meat and other dry food.
After a while, he stood at the street corner, glanced around, turned and walked towards the North City Gate.
"Why are we leaving now!" Cai'er shouted with some dissatisfaction.
"Now that I have bought the things, there is no need to stay here any longer," Shi Mu said.
"I'm still thinking about going to a restaurant and having a good meal." Cai'er muttered.
"Let's wait until we get to the next city." Shi Mu said.
For some reason, he felt a little uneasy in his heart, and his instinct told him to leave here as soon as possible.
There were very few people leaving the city, so there was no need to queue up. Shi Mu quickly left Jiahe Pass.
"Huh..." Standing in a remote wilderness, looking at Jiahe Pass behind him, he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Stone, what's wrong?" Cai'er asked strangely.
"Nothing." Shi Mu said.
Since he advanced to the star level, his various senses have become much sharper, but this kind of spiritual sense is sometimes ineffective, which gives him a headache.
He shook his head and was about to move on.
At this moment, a thick yellow light flew from behind, as fast as lightning.
Shi Mu was startled. He stepped down and moved a foot away in an instant, avoiding the yellow light's attack.
Boom!
The yellow light bombarded the ground, causing the ground to tremble and create a large crater several feet in size.
The yellow light dissipated, revealing the real body, but it was a jade Ruyi covered in yellow light.
The yellow light lingers on the surface of Ruyi, emitting bursts of strong spiritual energy fluctuations. It is a spiritual weapon.
Shi Mu was startled. He kicked off the ground and flew back again in the distance. At the same time, he turned over his hand and pulled out the knife and stick from his back, holding it in his hand.
Whoosh whoosh!
A large area of cyan wind blades emerged, more than ten of them, heading towards him, falling like rain.
Shi Mu was already flying back, unable to avoid it. His eyes darkened and he let out a low drink.
He waved his arm holding the stick, and a burst of white light came out of his body, condensing into a shell-shaped moon-white light shield, blocking it in front of him.
The cyan wind blade hit the light shield, and the moon-white light shield shook violently, then collapsed.
Then there was a ping-ping-pong-pong sound!
Most of the remaining wind blades were blocked by the sword and stick in Shi Mu's hand, and several of them landed on his body-protecting Qi. A huge force surged in, causing him to stomp back a few steps before he could stand firm.
"The kid ran so fast, I almost couldn't catch you!" came a cold voice.
Shi Mu was startled. He looked up and saw a middle-aged man in green robes with a sinister face appearing in front of him. His eyes were like those of poisonous snakes and there was a cold smile on his lips.
Two young men stood behind the middle-aged man, one of whom was the young man who had peeked at Shi Mu outside Baizhen Pavilion before.
"Is that him?" The middle-aged man Yin Xiao glanced at Shi Mu and asked the young man.
"Elder Feng, this is the man, he can't be wrong." The young man replied respectfully.
"Well, it does look very similar..." The middle-aged man Yin Xiao turned over his hand and took out a white jade slip the size of a fist. An image suddenly appeared on it, which was exactly what Shi Mu looked like.
When Shi Mu saw the jade slip and the image on it, his expression suddenly changed.
"Very good. When I catch this person, I won't miss out on your benefits." Yin Xiao, a middle-aged man, said.
"Thank you, Elder Feng." The young man was overjoyed and bowed in thanks.
"Who are you? Why did you sneak attack on me?" Shi Mu said in a deep voice, at the same time his spiritual consciousness quietly spread out and swept over the three of them, his pupils narrowed slightly.
The two young men at the back are not worth mentioning, they are both acquired warriors, but the sinister middle-aged man in front of him, with surging magic power in his body, is clearly a star-level warlock with a strong cultivation level.
