This city belongs to the 23rd Prefecture and is located in the Yanlin area. It is called Zhenshan City.
When he set foot in this city, Zhuang Ming sensed the auras of many practitioners.
There are many real-person levels and many Taoist characters, giving a vague illusion of stepping into a free market.
But this is not a market after all.
"The wild mountains are very vast, and there are no traces of people in them. Only birds and beasts, big monsters, and even demon kings live there."
"But precisely because of this, there are also a lot of opportunities."
"All kinds of heavenly materials and earthly treasures are hidden in the mountains and born between heaven and earth."
"There are also many great fairies, monsters, and strange birds and animals. Although they are not as good as dragons and other mythical beasts, they can be said to be full of treasures."
"Even...it is rumored that there are also dragons entrenched in the wild mountains."
Zhuang Ming stroked the dragon in his sleeve and thought to himself: "If I hadn't swallowed the true dragon's eye, Wen Han would not have respected me as the new dragon king."
Just like when they first met, Wen Han was in awe of the real dragon, but disdainful of the dragon.
The Jiao is not a dragon, so let him change his name to Lord Bojiao, not Lord Bolong.
Although there are dragons born and entrenched in the wild mountains, it is obvious that the Dragon Guard Tribe, as the dragon guards under the true dragon, has been inherited for many years and is still proud. Even if the true dragon disappears, it is impossible to respect the dragon as the dragon king.

"There are cultivators in the city, sir, do you want to put on a disguise?" Lu He asked out of caution.
"It doesn't matter. When we get here, we are about to enter the wild mountains. It doesn't matter if our whereabouts are exposed."
Inside the city, there are elite guards from Dachu, and practitioners are not allowed to do anything at will.
If he entered the wild mountains, Zhuang Ming wouldn't have much scruples.
Furthermore, now that Wen Han is by his side, he doesn't even have to use the body of a dragon to respond to provocations.
"There are many strong men." Even though it was Yue Ting, he couldn't help but look solemn and said: "I have become a master, my human power is at the limit, and the level of Dao Seal is only magical, and cannot suppress me, but I just entered the city and gave me some oppression.
Sensational, no less than five people."
"The wild mountains are certainly dangerous, but there are also many opportunities." Zhuang Ming said slowly: "There are often practitioners who want opportunities and want to go into the mountains to explore. There are also disciples from various sects who go into the mountains to hone themselves. Therefore,
There are many practitioners on this southern border."
"It seems that you won't be lonely when you enter the outer reaches of the wild mountains." Yue Ting exhaled and said.
"That's not the case, after all, the mountains are vast." Wen Han suddenly spoke up and said, "They want to find all kinds of rare treasures, or hunt some rare birds and animals. We won't fight for them, and there will be no extraneous problems. That's it.
When I came out, I ignored them..."
"Let's make some preparations first." Zhuang Ming said slowly: "Practitioners come and go, and some enter the mountains and some return. Presumably, the elites of Dachu will also set up a place specifically for cultivators to trade here. Maybe it's not as good as
The market is large, so it can be considered a small market, and we can probably find something we can use."
"There is miasma in the mountains." Wen Han said, "With Lord Dragon and me at your side, poisonous insects and beasts dare not approach, but the miasma will be very dangerous for you."
"Then go and find out." Zhuang Ming responded.
"After a long journey, the young master will go and rest first." Lu He said: "I heard that Brother Han is famous outside and it is difficult to show up. Yue Ting... you wait for the young master, I will go and check it out."
"Follow this." Zhuang Ming threw an object and took out two bottles of spirit-gathering pills, saying: "The magic weapon in your body and the spirit-gathering pills in your hands belong to cultivators and will not be regarded as ordinary warriors.
Find a Taoist practitioner and have a look."
"Understood." Lu He nodded.
"Be careful. If something happens, you can send a warning."
Zhuang Ming was extremely confident about Lu He's ability to do things.
But after all, when it comes to practitioners, you still need to be careful.
As for the dragon, you must stay with him to protect yourself.
Logically speaking, hearing that the drought is here is enough.
But Wen Han was loyal to Lord Long, not Zhuang Ming himself. It was precisely with this in mind that Lu He directly left Yue Ting by his side.
——
Half an hour later.
"Sir, we found out where the practitioners gather. It's not in the city, but outside the city."
"Oh? Outside the city?"
"It is guarded by the elites of Dachu. It can be regarded as a small market." Lu He paused and said, "However, I also discovered one thing."
"What's going on?" Zhuang Ming asked.
"There are many more practitioners preparing to enter the wild mountains in the near future than before."
"what happened?"
Lu He said in a deep voice: "It is rumored that a month ago, there was a huge tremor in the wild mountains. The birds and beasts were in chaos, and there were even a tide of wild beasts, attacking the territory of Da Chu. This mountain town was also among them... It was chaotic at that time.
In two days, more than 800 of Chu's elite soldiers were killed, and more than 2,000 ferocious beasts were killed, including many spirits and six giant monsters."
"Oh?" Zhuang Ming also looked surprised.
"It is suspected that there was an accident in the mountains." Lu He said, "Some people speculate that the accident must be due to chance."
"Wen Han, what do you think?" Zhuang Ming turned around and looked over.
"It's hard to say." Wen Han shook his head slightly and said, "I grew up deep in the mountains, and the tribe was guarded by elders. I always went out to hunt or collect herbs. I have seen chaos like this a few times, but
We don’t know the exact reason, maybe it’s the birth of a treasure in the mountain, maybe it’s the maturity of some heavenly and earthly treasures, maybe it’s the birth of the Zhenxuan Demon King, or the death of the Zhenxuan Demon King. As for the outer reaches of the mountain, I don’t know.”
"I suspect that chance always comes, so some practitioners want to try their luck?" Zhuang Ming pondered for a moment.
"I heard that people from the Great Chu King's City in Zhongyuan Realm are also coming." Lu He added: "There are also more than 200 elites from Great Chu who went into the mountain to find out the reason."
"Since it's not an accident." Zhuang Ming thought for a moment.
"If Liu Yuexuan were here, he could detect a lot of things." Yue Ting spread his hands and said: "I found that his divination method is indeed magical and ingenious. It is much more powerful than us thinking hard and calculating carefully."
"If you are envious, you can become his teacher." Zhuang Ming glanced at him sideways and said.
"Forget it... I'd better continue to be a graceful swordsman." Yue Ting sighed and said: "My reputation as a jade-faced white light sword is getting shallower and shallower. I don't know what year or month it is.
I can achieve the body of a god and a demon, cut in all directions with my sword, and regain the reputation of my jade-faced white light sword."
"Let's stop talking, take a rest, prepare some things, and head to the wild mountains early tomorrow morning."
"yes."
——
At night.
The moon and stars are sparse.
Suddenly there was a shadow walking through the darkness.
"The Soul-Swallowing Technique is approaching great success. It's just one step away from success. If you can succeed this time, you will definitely enter the True Mystery."
"Thousands of souls have been gathered this time. If we have one more time, we can do it."
