At last, at the far end of the horizon.
The outline of a city gradually came into focus.
It was Suotuo City, a dazzling pearl within the borders of the Balak Kingdom.
As a vital trade hub between the two great empires of Heaven Dou and Star Luo.
Suotuo City was more than ten times as prosperous as Nuoding City.
Even though Tang Tian had long been accustomed to skyscrapers.
He still marveled at architecture like this.
Finally, a new map!
They passed through the deep gateway.
The city bustled with activity.
Lin Chuan noticed that the concentration of Soul Masters in Suotuo City was truly much higher.
In Nuoding City, one could scarcely see more than a few Soul Grandmasters in a year.
Here, however, Soul Grandmasters were far from rare!
Tang Tian and Tang San were taking in their surroundings.
Xiao Wu, meanwhile, was captivated by the mingled scents of spices and cosmetics in the air!
"Wow! It's so lively! So much delicious food!"
Xiao Wu, who had just been sprawled inside the carriage complaining that her "bones were falling apart."
Instantly sprang back to full health.
Her pink eyes shone!
She excitedly pointed at the roadside stalls, tugging Tang Tian's sleeve and shaking it for all she was worth:
"Tian! Look at that! Those candied hawthorn skewers are so much bigger than the ones in Nuoding City, and they're all red fruit!"
"And that grilled meat, sizzling with fat! It smells so good!"
"I want that! And that too!"
At the sight of Xiao Wu looking like a greedy little cat.
A trace of indulgence appeared in Tang Tian's eyes. He smiled, shook his head, and reached out to ruffle her hair:
"All right, whatever you want."
"Today, we're not talking about cultivation, only food and drink."
