In autumn, Dongwu Stockade is more lively than usual.
This large city with a population of tens of thousands is located at the eastern foot of the Tianyun Mountains. It occupies a large valley and is named after many sycamore trees growing in the valley.
Although it was drizzling in the sky, there were still many people coming and going in the walled city.
Along the long street paved with bluestone slabs, Wang Chen held an oil-paper umbrella, mixed in with the bustling crowd, and walked slowly forward.
Half a month ago, he came to this Rogue Cultivator city far away from the hometown of Yunyang, and settled down in Dongwu Stockade with his seventh level of Qi Condensation cultivation and three hundred Lower Spirit.
Got his own new home.
Dongwu Stockade was established very early, and the village owners have changed many times.
The person currently in power is an Purple Mansion master named Xin Han. More than half of the monks in the village are ordinary mortals, as well as Quasi-cultivator who are in Mortal Transformation and some Innate Martial Artist.
The residents in the village are a mixed bag, but under the strong control of Xin Han, it is quite stable.
Outer Region There are countless Rogue Cultivator castles, but there are very few village owners with the Purple Mansion cultivation.
Because monk Purple Mansion is of great importance, most sects will welcome him with open arms and give him corresponding treatment.
Even if you are new to the Inner Sect and cannot enter the core, there is still no problem in being an elder in the Outer Sect.
The training environment of the sect and Cultivation Resources are both unmatched by Rogue Cultivator's fortress.
But there will always be exceptions. Some Purple Mansion themselves are Rogue Cultivator, relying on their own strength Break Through Apertures and Open the Mansion, but not willing to go to the immortal gate to be restrained by others, so they would rather be free and easy as a "mountain king".
Wang Chen also chose Dongwu Stockade as his potential cultivation place after careful selection.
Small hidden in the mountains and forests, big hidden in the city, for a Qi Condensation cultivator, Linquan wilderness is really not suitable for hidden cultivation, because there is no man's land or Spiritual Qi is weak, or it is occupied by Demon Beast or even Evil Spirits.
Although Wang Chen has a lot of Cultivation Resources, there is no problem even if he goes to a remote place to practice alone.
But after careful consideration, he chose Dongwu Stockade.
Spirit Tide has started, the catastrophe is coming, the uninhabited land is dangerous and unpredictable, and the most important thing is that the news is completely blocked, and you have no idea what is happening in the outside world. It is too passive.
Dongwu Stockade Rogue Cultivator There are a lot of them, and the leader of the village is a Purple Mansion monk, and he has also arranged a protective array in the city.
It is said that after the formation is opened, no amount of the Purple Mansion can break it!
While walking, Wang Chen stopped in front of a familiar teahouse, then put away his umbrella and went in.
"Immortal Master, please..."
The chubby shopkeeper came to receive him personally and greeted Wang Chen attentively to sit down at the window seat.
He wiped the tea table with a linen towel and asked, "Is it the same as before?"
"Yeah."
Wang Chen nodded and placed ten Shattered Spirit on the table.
The rules of the restaurants and teahouses here are to pay first and then serve the food, to prevent anyone from maliciously evading the order by Movement Method.
Some Rogue Cultivator would really do such shameless things.
During this time, he would come to this teahouse every afternoon and order a pot of Spiritual Tea and a plate of pastries.
While practicing Five Elements Technique, I listened to the gossips of the tea guests.
The more you come here, the more you become familiar with the shopkeeper.
"Okay!"
The fat shopkeeper turned around and shouted, "A pot of Spiritual Tea and a plate of sweet-scented osmanthus cake!"
His shouts are very particular. The higher the intonation of the two words "Spiritual Tea", the higher the grade required.
Wang Chen ordered just the ordinary Spiritual Tea, but the one served by the fat shopkeeper was slightly better.
He is also an interesting character.
It is said that this shopkeeper was once a well-known figure in the Great Qian world. He risked his life and ran away to Cultivation World because he committed a serious crime, and finally settled in Dongwu Stockade and opened a teahouse.
As for what he committed, no one can tell clearly.
In fact, many people who make a living in Outer Region, whether monks or mortals, have their own wonderful stories.
The fat shopkeeper is just one of many people.
Wang Chen poured himself a pot of hot tea, reached for a piece of osmanthus cake and tasted it.
The taste is quite good.
The sweet-scented osmanthus is the sweet-scented osmanthus brewed with honey last year, and the raw material of the white cake is the new rice harvested in late summer. The combination of the two has a unique taste.
His eyes were looking out the window, as if he was wandering in heaven.
In fact, every word spoken by the guests in the teahouse, even if it was a whisper among themselves, could not escape the attention of the distracted Wang Chen.
Wang Chen can filter out some useful information.
But there's no new news today.
Nearly half a year has passed since the big incident of the Yunyang Sect running away to the world, and it is still the focus of everyone's discussion.
It's just that many of the rumors are ridiculous and make people laugh.
As for the Guiyuan Sect, which annexed Yunyang Sect's territory, not many people had good things to say.
It's probably an argument like "No matter how bad Yunyang is, it's better than Guiyuan Sect". Wang Chen didn't expect that Yunyang Sect's prestige is so high, and people still remember it after so long.
Teagoers even mentioned Human Hunting Case, firmly believing that it was Guiyuan Sect who did it!
Yunyang Sect's Outer Region's reputation is obviously very good.
Wang Chen can only say that "it all depends on the support of peers."
Recalling what he had experienced at the Yunyang Sect, he couldn't help but shake his head.
Suddenly, a girl of thirteen or fourteen hugged a baby girl and hurriedly ran under the eaves of the teahouse to avoid the rain that was falling harder and harder outside.
He happened to be standing outside the window of Wang Chen.
The head of Little Ya lying on the girl's shoulder is only four or five years old, with a pair of big black eyes.
There are also two braids in her hair.
She glanced at Wang Chen who was very close, then her eyes fell on the sweet-scented osmanthus cake, and she swallowed involuntarily.
It can be seen that the little guy is very greedy.
But she didn't ask for it, but the saliva from the corner of her mouth almost flowed out.
Wang Chen looked interesting, so he picked up the dessert plate on the table and handed it to her.
This little guy easily touched Wang Chen's heart and reminded him of Yuan Yuan.
After the Yunyang Sect took Taihao Peak to the upper realm, the Divine Soul bond between Wang Chen and Yuan Yuan was interrupted.
Its presence can no longer be sensed.
Based on what he learned, Wang Chen inferred that Yuan Yuan should have followed Bai Susu and hitched a ride to the upper realm.
If this is the case, I don't know when we will see each other again!
Looking at the sweet-scented osmanthus cake brought to him, Little Ya hesitated over and over again. Then, with the encouragement from Wang Chen's eyes, he couldn't bear the temptation, so he cautiously stretched out his little hand and grabbed a piece of sweet-scented osmanthus cake.
Little Ya was very polite. After grabbing the sweet-scented osmanthus cake, he felt something was wrong and whispered, "Thank you."
The girl holding Little Ya's head turned around immediately when she heard these words.
But Wang Chen, who was sitting by the window, disappeared now.
He left the teahouse.
Put up the oil paper umbrella again.
Stepping on the rainwater flowing all over the ground.
Walk towards your home step by step.
