Heavy rainstorms have persisted for about a week in many parts of the country.
According to official records, a total of 1,732 incidents of ghost attacks occurred nationwide this week, one of which was Strange Spirit attack.
At that time, thanks to the efforts of Lin Yi and the authorities, the incidents that occurred during the torrential rain were basically suppressed, with only a few incidents causing hundreds or even thousands of injuries.
These incidents primarily occurred in densely populated urban areas, and even with timely support from officials and Lin Yi, they were unable to prevent injuries.
After the rain stopped and the sky cleared, the space became stable, and the number of intrusions decreased sharply.
From this point on, the entire nation and even the world entered a transcendent era.
Everyone desires to gain extraordinary power to protect themselves.
Countless wealthy people would give up everything to acquire an Activation Code, while ordinary people are also working hard to cultivate the Qi-Blood External Art created by Lin Yi.
Meanwhile, another group of people, lacking any confidence in the future, began building doomsday shelters and hoarding various resources.
On this day, Lin Yi resolved all the trivial matters in reality and logged into Tianshui City.
After explaining some matters to the elders of Gu He and Elder Gu Yuan, he rode Zou Wu and arrived at the Twelfth Tong Pass outside the Ancient Domain.
Tong Pass was attacked by the Barbarian God a while ago, and the surface of the city wall is covered with marks. The number of soldiers from the Ancient Domain guarding the city has also increased significantly.
Lin Yi changed into a set of tattered clothes and mingled with the trading tribe outside the city.
The place was bustling with people and noisy, with stalls displaying various high-quality Spiritual Materials of different colors such as green, blue, and blue. Many martial artists were selling their goods here, making it resemble a bustling market.
In front of a dilapidated teahouse, a number of martial artists gathered.
"Hey, have you heard? Our Tong Pass treasure has been lost, and that Commander Qin throwing tantrums every day!"
" Hu Lao San, how do you know so much about the news in the city? It couldn't be your brother-in-law from Tong Pass who leaked it, could it..."
Hu Lao San, a One-star Warrior dressed in brown linen clothes, boasted, "Your surname is Jiao. You're right, it really was my brother-in-law who revealed this. He also said that if we can find the whereabouts of that supreme treasure, it will be a great achievement. At that time, we won't need to be Three-star Warrior to enter the Ancient Domain Tong Pass and obtain the martial arts inheritance!"
"Real or fake?"
Upon hearing this, everyone in the teahouse rushed over to ask if it was true.
You should know that these martial artists were once people of high status in the Barren Land, villages, or cities, and were revered by thousands.
Now they gather here like destitute beggars, hoping to climb to a higher Martial Path realm and not waste their lives.
Only in the Ancient Domain near Tong Pass can one find the legacy of the martial arts.
"I, Hu Lao San, am an old man from outside the city, and I promise I won't lie to you."
"What does that treasure look like?"
"I'm not sure either. My brother-in-law said that Zhibao is like a city; once we see it, we'll definitely recognize it..."
Inside the teahouse, Lin Yi quietly sipped his tea, raising an eyebrow.
This tea is far too weak.
He discovered that the living supplies here seemed very scarce. He had just seen a Two-star Warrior whose clothes were worse than those of a beggar in Tianshui City; he was extremely destitute.
After receiving news of the priceless treasure from Hu Lao San, the group quickly dispersed.
Hu Lao San glanced around at the tea drinkers, finally fixing his gaze on Lin Yi.
With his keen eyesight, he could tell that although Lin Yi's clothes were old, they were not covered in a speck of dust.
Moreover, Lin Yi Yi's appearance and temperament are gentle and refined, making him no ordinary martial artist.
"Young man, you look unfamiliar. Are you perhaps new to this place?"
Lin Yi nodded. " Brother Hu, what advice do you have for me?"
"Hehe, young brother, you've come from afar, surely to enter the Ancient Domain. I have connections within the city..."
Hu Lao San clenched his fist, gave a thumbs-up, pointed to Tong Pass, and looked smug.
Lin Yi smiled, looked at him, and said frankly, " Brother Hu, I'm not stupid. If the Tong Pass City were so crowded, there wouldn't be so many people gathered outside the city. But I do have something I'd like you to inquire about, Brother Hu."
Lin Yi had exposed him, and Hu Lao San gave an awkward smile. Then he sat down opposite Lin Yi and said, "Young brother, you might as well ask me directly. I am a well-known philanthropist outside the city, but after talking for so long, can I ask for a bowl of wine?"
Before Lin Yi could respond, Hu Han San shouted, "Waiter, bring me a bowl of baijiu, and I want that jar that your manager treasures."
Just then, a voice came from the side. "Young man, don't let this Hu Lao San swindle you. Resources are scarce outside this city, and the most precious thing isn't Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, but fine wine. The wine in this teahouse starts at least at one Source Stone..."
"Go away, Wu Qiu, what are you doing here causing trouble? Instead of going to the market to buy your ' Startle Awakening ' method, what nonsense are you spouting?"
The person who reminded him was Wu Qiu and Tian Wu Ying.
They had just finished resting at the teahouse when they saw Hu Lao San again claiming that the place was a scam.
Back when Wu Qiu hadn't yet met Tian Wu Ying, he was tricked by Hu Lao San and lost several Source Stone.
Wu Qiu?
Upon hearing these two words, Lin Yi raised an eyebrow. He seemed to recall Yang Zi mentioning that the old master of the Martial Pavilion was Wu Qiu. Was this the person in front of him?
"It's alright, a bowl of wine is enough, I can afford it. You two, why don't you come over and have a chat? To be honest, I came from Tianshui City across the West Mountain Southern Domain, and I've only been here a few days."
Tianshui City!
Lin Yi's words shocked Wu Qiu and Tian Wu Ying. They looked at each other, and frankly, they couldn't recognize which family's young man Lin Yi was from in Tianshui City.
The two quickly communicated using their True Qi.
Tian Wu Ying said, " Old Wu, if this person is from Tianshui City, you must have seen him when he was young. Do you know whose family he is?"
Wu Qiu frowned in thought, "I have no recollection of him. Before I left, I did recruit a few promising talents for the Martial Pavilion. Among them, Yang Zi from the Yang Family has considerable talent, and your granddaughter's martial arts aptitude is also not bad. But I've never seen this young man before..."
Although the two did not know whether Lin Yi was from Tianshui City, they were already curious and accepted the invitation, sitting down in a very natural and generous manner.
At this moment, the waiter had already brought out a jar of fine wine. Hu Lao San couldn't wait to open it, poured himself a large bowl, and drank it heartily.
As he drank, he said, " Tianshui City, this city seems to be in a very remote area of West Mountain Southern Domain. What is your surname, young brother? You were able to cross the West Mountain Southern Domain to get here. I'm afraid you haven't encountered many powerful Monster King. You're quite lucky."
"Yes, my surname is Lin. I've always been quite lucky, and I haven't encountered any danger along the way. I've heard that there's a Demigod Monster in the West Mountain Southern Domain. I wonder if Brother Hu could tell me about it..."
"Yi, having drunk a bowl of your wine, I'll briefly explain. The most powerful being in the Southern West Mountain Southern Domain is the Barbarian God. Legend has it that this Yao God has lived for tens of thousands of years. In the West Mountain Southern Domain of the Western Mountains, there are also the four-star Demon King from last week, distributed in different areas..."
After drinking, Hu Lao San became very talkative and quickly recounted all the relevant information he knew about the West Mountain Southern Domain.
Lin Yi listened attentively, as there was much of the information Hu Lao San was talking about that he was unaware of.
For example, there are many wild villages in the West Mountain Southern Domain. Many of these villages were deliberately raised and expanded by the Monster King, just waiting for the number of humans in the villages to grow to a sufficient number before the Monster King appears and devours a group of humans in the villages like harvesting leeks.
Many of the people currently living outside the city have fled from these villages.
Furthermore, the West Mountain Southern Domain borders Forbidden Land areas on both sides. As for what exactly these Forbidden Land are and what dangers they pose, even Hu Han San only knew hearsay and knew very little about them.
" Brother Hu, could you tell me more about the Ancient Domain? How can an outsider like me enter the Ancient Domain, and what should I be careful about Ancient Domain?"
Hu Han San was not a heavy drinker; after downing a bowl of wine, his bearded face was flushed with the effects of the alcohol.
"A big piece of news and a bowl of wine, I won't take advantage of you."
Then, he let out a burp, poured himself another bowl of wine, and said, " The Ancient Domain is the last pure land for us humans. There are no Monster or Strange Spirit there, and it has the supreme inheritance of martial arts. Do you see this towering city wall? Even the Barbarian God couldn't break through it and could only flee in a sorry state."
"As for how to enter the Ancient Domain, hehe, there's a trick to that. I have three methods. The first method, as you just heard, is to find the treasures of the Ancient Domain's ruins, and then you can enter the Ancient Domain."
"Secondly, you are Three-star Warrior. Assuming your identity is clean, you can enter the Ancient Domain and be assigned a city guard position... To tell you the truth, my brother-in-law in Tong Pass is Three-star Warrior."
At this point, Hu Lao San raised his eyebrows a few notches.
"Third, gather a week's worth of Source Stone as an entry fee, and you can become a native of the Ancient Domain."
After saying this, Hu Lao San added, "Brother Lin, although your clothes are worn out, you seem to have plenty of Source Stone in your eyes. However, I suggest that you do not choose to enter the Ancient Domain by handing over Source Stone unless absolutely necessary."
" Brother Hu, please elaborate."
Lin Yi poured Hu Lao San another bowl of wine.
After pouring three bowls of wine, the jar was empty. Wu Qiu and Tian Wu Ying watched with longing eyes. They hadn't had any wine since they arrived here.
"You have a good eye!"
Hu Lao San smiled with satisfaction, then leaned close to Lin Yi and whispered, "Brother Lin, we outsiders have always been looked down upon by the people of the Ancient Domain, regarded as criminals and barbarians. If we enter the city by means of strength, that's fine, but if we enter the city with Source Stone, we're afraid we'll lose both our money and our people once we get to the Ancient Domain."
"I understand, thank you for clearing up my doubts Brother Hu."
"Polite..."
After finishing his drink, Hu Lao San pretended to be drunk and staggered away.
At this moment, Lin Yi looked at Wu Qiu and Tian Wu Ying.
"Gentlemen, you are also from Tianshui City, right?"
Wu Qiu and Tian Wu Ying exchanged a glance, and then Wu Qiu asked, "May I ask which family Brother Lin is from in Tianshui City?"
" Ancient Pool Village, I wonder if you two have ever heard of it."
" Ancient Pool Village! Isn't that a village with Divine Sacrifice Legacy?"
"I also have Indians. I remember that Ancient Pool Village is separated from Tianshui City by the Hundreds of Desolate Mountains and a desert..."
Xianxin, Wu Qiu, and Tian Wu Ying both knew about Ancient Pool Village.
