Although the direction to the Imperial City is the same, there are many branch roads in the middle, and the distance is roughly the same. Although it will also pass through some dense forests, it is not a hindrance.
After all, not all dense forests are as dangerous as Phoenix Ridge.
Gu Xuanchen also encountered several divine beasts along the way, almost all of them were one-star beasts, and the strongest one only had two stars.
However, Gu Xuanchen directly solved it without even using the body formation method.
Soon, Gu Xuanchen arrived at Qianyun City!
Qianyun City is located between Ziluo City and the Imperial City, and is the only way to enter the Imperial City.
Qianyun City is not like Ziluo City. The city has a standing academy and strict interrogation. It can almost be said that you can enter and exit freely.
But at this moment, there are many people surrounding both sides of the city gate!
"Xuan-level high-grade skills..."
"Yellow-level low-grade magical power..."
"Juli Dan..."
"Three-Star Divine Sword..."
Various items were displayed on many stalls, and each one was selling loudly. At the same time, there were many boys and girls of the same age as Gu Xuanchen, looking into the distance.
However, Qianlian had already told Gu Xuanchen about this when he came out of the small courtyard.
The assessment of the Heavenly Sacrifice Sect is the top priority of the Qingqi Kingdom. After all, whoever can enter the Heavenly Sacrifice Sect will be able to reach the sky in one step, so such a major event is known to the whole country.
And not only geniuses from various university palaces can participate, even those who have not joined the academy, as long as they can meet the assessment requirements, young people can also participate.
Of course, geniuses from almost all places have already been admitted to the academy, but every time there are always one or two talents who slip out of the academy and pass the assessment.
This also makes it so that when the Tianji Sect's assessment comes, many small merchants and hawkers will be in the city selling various resources that may improve their combat effectiveness.
After all, for those who take the assessment, who doesn’t want to spend a little more money.
Of course, Qianlian told Gu Xuanchen this mainly to remind him not to buy these things, because most of these things are flashy and look good, but they have no power at all when they are actually used.
Although Qianlian believed in Gu Xuanchen's vision, she also saw that Gu Xuanchen didn't seem to understand many simple things, so she gave such a reminder.
However, after Qianlian said this, Gu Xuanchen also understood.
To put it bluntly, this is just some profiteers taking advantage of the opportunity. Anyway, they just set up stalls along the street. If someone is really fooled, after they make a big fortune, even if others find out, it will be impossible to find them afterwards.
Therefore, when he approached Qianyun City and saw many people gathered around the city gate waiting for him, Gu Xuanchen had already made up his mind and would not be fooled like this.
"Wow...so handsome..."
"So young..."
As the distance got closer, Gu Xuanchen could faintly hear the exclamations of many girls at the city gate. On the contrary, the young men at the city gate retreated one by one. This is probably the principle of same-sex repulsion.
"It's just a mid-level soul-endowing realm. It seems that you are not taking part in the assessment!"
Immediately, not one person sighed, but many people sighed, and then returned to the city!
Then Gu Xuanchen heard many girls sighing, "It's a pity that he is so handsome but not very strong. Otherwise, it would be nice to marry him!"
"You're stupid... Those who can actually take the exam may not be able to take a fancy to you. This guy looks pretty handsome, so why don't you just give in!"
"Why don't you just make do with it? If I want to marry, I will marry a truly strong man!"
After hearing these discussions, Gu Xuanchen became more aware that in this world, strength determines everything.
Even if you are as handsome as you are, if you don't have enough strength, no one will like you.
Perhaps because of Gu Xuanchen's level, everyone concluded that he was not going to take the assessment at all, and naturally no one planned to do his business. Walking through the crowded streets, Gu Xuanchen found that no one was willing to recruit him.
Anyway, when Gu Xuanchen took a look at the various things on the stalls on both sides of the city gate.
Although Qianlian has already said that most of these are fake and shoddy products, each one is full of precious light and has the power of heaven, and they are also very good-looking.
Suddenly, when Gu Xuanchen's eyes fell on a pile of dark stones, the Qingyun Mountains and Rivers map on his body suddenly twitched.
what happened?
Gu Xuanchen was stunned!
The Qingyun Mountains and Rivers Map followed the Qingyun Continent into the Holy Realm, and from the Holy Realm to the Supreme God Realm, there has never been any abnormal movement.
But this time, there was actually a reaction?
But how could he react?
You know, even if the Qingyun Mountains and Rivers Map was originally used by the seven sects of the Holy Domain to put it into Qingyun Continent to deal with themselves, it shouldn't have any resonance with the things of the Supreme God Realm, right?
However, the changes in the Qingyun Mountains and Rivers Map finally aroused Gu Xuanchen's interest.
"Boss, how do you sell this piece of ore?" Gu Xuanchen stepped forward and asked.
Of course, what piqued Gu Xuanchen's interest was this pile of stones.
Nowadays, people in Ziluo Academy are considered well-read, but Gu Xuanchen has never seen any records about this stone.
Moreover, when I used the power of my soul to explore it just now, I was immediately bounced away by a mysterious force on the stone, which also implies that this stone is extraordinary.
"Little brother, you really have good eyesight!" The stall owner is a middle-aged man.
Although his cultivation level was only at the late stage of the Spiritual Endowment Realm, he had excellent eyesight. He saw that Gu Xuanchen was interested in this stone and immediately said, "It is said that this stone is the stone of the underworld!"
"If you can understand the mystery of this stone, you will have the ability to communicate with the underworld and this world. It is wonderful..."
Gu Xuanchen whispered at the corner of his mouth without saying a word, waiting for the stall owner to finish telling all the allusions, but still smiled without saying a word!
Seeing this, the stall owner obviously realized that the young man in front of him was not that easy to fool. He smiled awkwardly and said, "Seeing that we are destined, I will accept a thousand divine crystals from you for this stone of the underworld!"
Divine Crystal!
A kind of crystal stone that contains the power of heaven, something similar to the inspiration stone, and is also the currency circulated in the spiritual world of the supreme god.
"If I don't have the divine crystal, can I exchange it for a two-star divine sword?" Gu Xuanchen said and took out a two-star divine sword!
Divine Crystal, that’s a good thing, rarely seen in the world!
So even though everyone in the Han family was robbed, there was not even a single divine crystal left!
"Little brother, you have gone too far!" The middle-aged stall owner shook his head quickly, "A two-star divine sword is only worth one divine crystal. You actually want to exchange it for my stone of the underworld, which is worth a thousand divine crystals?"
"Forget it then!" Gu Xuanchen said as he put away the divine sword and turned around to walk away.
Gu Xuanchen naturally knew that the other party was asking for a price, but it was true that he was not even qualified to make a counteroffer.
After all, the only thing I can use now is this two-star divine sword. If the other party doesn't like it, there is nothing I can do!
Although the Qingyun Mountains and Rivers Map resonates with these stones, you won't try to grab them by force, right? You can only wait until you meet them in the future when conditions permit.
