Chapter 393: Looking to Chang'an from the Northwest
Standing in the spiritual world, looking at the grand tree in front of him, Cheng Lin's mentality quietly changed.
Probably the people of Xia have a land attachment in their bones and blood, and they always lack resistance to the word "farming".
If Cheng Lin only regarded this place as a locker at first.
Then when the "spiritual world" has grown so big, you can breathe the fresh air, and you can reach out and grab the dark and soft soil from the ground.
He really regarded this place as his own back garden.
From the bottom of my heart, I want to cultivate this "spiritual world" well.
After stepping out of the spiritual world and returning to reality, Cheng Lin went around in circles and found a hardware store in Yangcheng, where he bought a bunch of tools.
Then he happily brought it in.
"A pickaxe, a hoe, and a shovel each...these are the most basic agricultural tools and can be used to dig soil and dig holes."
"Water tanks, with two openings, are used to store clean water."
"Forget about chemical fertilizers and pesticides, but...will the soil lack fertility?"
Standing under the World Tree.
Cheng Lin neatly stacked up a bunch of tools, and took out all the spiritual plants with intact roots and used them as seedlings.
It took a whole day to divide the land in the spiritual world into several squares and plant spiritual crops in each.
Probably thanks to the nourishment of the World Tree, all plants grow well in this space.
"Hua Hua Hua..."
Standing on the edge of the farmland, Cheng Lin carefully watered the flowers with a Qi-refining pot.
I bought a nozzle with many holes in the hardware store and tied it to the spout of the "Qi Refining Pot" with tape.
In this way, it transforms into a qualified "watering can" and takes on the heavy responsibility of watering.
"Soak the Qi Refining Pot in a water tank every night. By the next day, all the water in the tank will have turned into spiritual energy water. Although the concentration is very light... but it is better than nothing. Then use this water to water the flowers...
The cycle goes back and forth, it’s perfect.”
Cheng Lin finished pouring the last water, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and showed a simple smile on his face.
That look.
Just like a real farmer.
Putting down the watering can, he turned around and walked towards a corner of the spiritual world.
During the day, he went to the furniture store and bought a set of tables and chairs and a bed. After leveling the land, he placed it in a corner of the spiritual world. He also bought a few boxes to hold the scattered items.
If it weren't for the fact that he knew nothing about architecture, he would even want to build a house here.
"Huh, I'm finally done." Cheng Lin sat down on the chair tiredly. He reached out and picked up a bottle of Coke from the computer table next to him. He opened it and took a sip, then frowned, "It's not cold enough... It's a pity that there is no electricity, otherwise
It wouldn’t be a bad idea to buy a refrigerator and put it here.”
He glanced at the wooden bed next to him, which was covered with brand new bedding and a Mijia bedside lamp.
After discovering the wonders of the spirit world, Cheng Lin felt that he no longer needed to stay in a hotel. When he was tired at night, he could go directly to the spirit world to sleep. It was safe and convenient, and he didn't have to spend any money. How great? RVs and other things are so weak.
.
"Even eating is still a problem... Well, when I have time, I can buy a gas tank and carry it in, get a gas stove, and stock up on food, vegetables, fish, meat, etc. That will be fine. Well, but preservation is a problem."
Cheng Lin suddenly discovered a small drawback after upgrading the "Initial Space".
That is, the original “freshness preservation” function that comes with the space is gone.
But after thinking about it, he found that he could use a "jade bracelet" instead.
Although the dark green jade bracelet that exploded from President Black's body is not large, it can be regarded as a small freezer. It is not a big problem to use it to decorate fruits and vegetables.
After thinking about this, Cheng Lin smiled happily, but he didn't expect that if anyone knew that he used precious storage equipment to store vegetables, he would not know how many eyes he would lose.
…
Enough rest.
Cheng Lin recovered his thoughts, took out a national map from the desk drawer, and unfolded it.
I saw that many symbols had been outlined with colored pens on the map, and many of them had small black flags drawn on them.
This was drawn by him before taking the time to compare it with the "List of Black Organization Members".
The Black remnants in various places are marked according to their quantity and strength.
After a brief glance, his gaze fell on a place name:
"Chang'an."
Cheng Lin muttered to himself, his thoughts drifting away.
This is the next stop he has set for himself.
In order to make Breakthrough Level 4 appear "normal", he could only deliberately stay outside for a few more days, but he was not going to waste time, but wanted to take the opportunity to do a few things.
After careful consideration, he set Chang'an City as his next target.
"First of all, I need to return to the Nine Courtyards and walk from the capital of Shu to the Nine Courtyards. Chang'an is right on the road and it does not appear obtrusive from the path. Secondly, the news broke out on the spiritual forum that Chang'an's 'trading market' has been opened.
If you want more kinds of spiritual plants, buying them from there is a better way.
In addition, if you want to try carving a barrier, you also need to buy a large enough jade stone...
Moreover, there happens to be a stronghold of the black organization in Chang'an... It seems to be a not weak force that we can try to contact and take advantage of."
Taking into account various factors, Cheng Lin felt that this was the best plan.
At this time, the light of the "sun" on the World Tree gradually dimmed, and night ushered in the spiritual world.
Through observation, he found that the time flow rate in the two worlds was the same. It became dark inside, indicating that it was night outside.
After taking off his clothes and going to bed, Cheng Lin stopped thinking about it, blocked his perception, and felt sleepy.
…
…
Early the next morning, Cheng Lin left Yangcheng by car.
If you drive from Yangcheng to Chang'an, the distance is about 650 kilometers, and the cost of gas alone will cost you 500 yuan.
Because entering the Changan trading market definitely requires a real name.
Therefore, there was no need for Cheng Lin to hide his identity, so he simply chose the high-speed rail. He encountered a little trouble when going through the security check, but fortunately he passed through with his small lapel ID.
After coming out of the station, I took a taxi. The driver's accent sounded like a local. He was happy when he saw Cheng Lin's appearance, "Here from out of town? Traveling? Or..."
"Travel," Cheng Lin was wearing a student uniform and carrying a travel bag behind his back. Although the spirit world was there, he still had to do superficial work. Change clothes, 91 spirit swords, etc. were still outside and carried them to the back seat.
Shit, he smiled and explained, "The Terracotta Warriors and Horses in Chang'an are world-famous, so I came here to see them."
"That's not the case, but let me tell you, it's so easy to come here. Just seeing the Terracotta Warriors and Horses is not enough. There are other things here... the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, Huaqing Palace, Daming Palace... the ancient capital of the Thirteen Dynasties.
It’s just a quick trip, and it will take several days, don’t you think?”
The driver had a familiar tone.
Cheng Lin kept chatting, but he felt the enthusiasm of the locals.
Chang'an.
It is not in Sichuan Province, but in the neighboring Qin Province.
Qin Province, also called "Shaanxi", has two abbreviations for one place. It is said that the name comes from the Qin Dynasty. Xianyang, the first emperor's capital, is located in Qin Province.
The intangible cultural heritage "Qin Opera" is also named after this. Cheng Lin doesn't have much memory about Qin Opera. He only remembers that during the Olympic Games in the imperial capital, a program "The Ancient Rhythm of the Qin Dynasty" originally scheduled for the opening ceremony was Qin Opera. Later, due to some reasons
, was removed, but this is enough to show its historical and cultural status.
Cheng Lin didn't know much about Qin Province.
I just remember clearly that this is the territory of the "Seventh Division".
The Special Incident Handling Department, the Seventh Bureau, governs the vast Qin Province with an area of 200,000 square kilometers and a population of nearly 40 million.
Of course, the scope of authority of the Seventh Division only lies with "practitioners."
In the world of cultivators, the Seventh Division belongs to the kind of power that is invisible and inconspicuous. In terms of exposure and popularity, it is a big level lower than the Thirteenth Division of Shudu that ranks behind it.
Of course, there is also a factor in this that caused the popularity of the Thirteenth Division to skyrocket due to the projection.
But overall, Qi Si is a relatively low-key player.
However, being low-key does not mean that it is weak. Cheng Lin clearly remembered that when he was in class at the college, the teacher once said that the strength of the Seventh Division was far stronger than what it showed.
The reason is largely because... Qi Si controls a spiritual land.
A national first-class spiritual place!
…
…
"Scan the code, okay, take a look."
After chatting all the way, when the car stopped, Cheng Lin paid, got out of the car, and saw a hotel in front of him.
This is the place he chose online.
Although you can sleep in the spirit world, there is a fatal problem, that is, there is no network signal inside. If there is no power, you can use a power bank to solve the problem. It is uncomfortable to have no network.
Besides, it’s quite refreshing to sleep in there occasionally. For comfort and convenience, it’s better to stay in a hotel.
After opening the room and putting things away, Cheng Lin looked at the time and saw that it was already noon.
He walked out empty-handed, checked the nearby restaurants on the map, found one and ordered a bowl of noodles. Then he took out his mobile phone and opened the group chat.
"There is no rush to contact the remnants of Black. The main reason is that something unexpected might happen. To be on the safe side, it is better to complete the purchase of materials first and then consider this...
The trading market in Chang'an City, or the alleys of practitioners, should be similar to those in the Magic City. They are also hidden and are only circulated among local practitioners, so it is not reliable to ask ordinary people.
It’s best to ask local practitioners.”
As for Cheng Lin, does he know the local practitioners?
He actually knew one.
I remember that in my fan group, there was a student from the Seventh Spiritual Academy. When he first joined the group, he came out to welcome him.
My impression... I'm not sure. This man's external temperament is similar to that of Qi Si, and he seems a bit low-key.
"I don't know if he can receive the message. After all, the college is a local area network... Let's try it. If it doesn't work, we'll think of another way."
With the attitude of giving it a try, I opened the "Senior Cheng Fan Group".
Then I found the Qi Si Academy based on the chat history.
"Spicy Hotpot: @公宝鸡丁, is it online? Could you please tell me where the local practitioner alley in Chang'an is? Thank you!"
After taking a bite of noodles, Cheng Lin typed out a text and sent it to the group.
Then there was a moment of dead silence.
Cheng Lin was helpless, thinking that everyone should be inside the college and could not receive the group chat signal.
I sighed and was about to find another way. Suddenly, a new message popped up in the group chat:
“Kung Pao Chicken: @麻香肉pot, are you in Chang’an? I’m in the alley of the cultivators.”
After a pause, the other party sent another positioning message.
