"Junior brother, junior brother..." A voice interrupted Li Yan's thoughts, causing him to wake up from his memories, only to see Wen Xinliang and Lin Daqiao who had walked some distance ahead were looking back at him, and Lin Daqiao was calling him with a strange look on his face. Li Yan was still standing at the end of the road, looking at the flow of people going in and out of the city gate, which seemed a bit abrupt. Li Yan collected his thoughts, smiled, and followed him a few steps.
"Junior brother, have you never seen so many monks from other sects? After entering the city, there will be more monks inside." Lin Daqiao saw Li Yan walking over and said with a smile. He thought Li Yan was stunned because he saw so many monks from other sects for the first time.
"Oh, junior brother, I really had an eye-opening experience today. There are so few people in Small Bamboo Peak, and even few monks from our sect have met, haha." Li Yan replied with a chuckle.
"Alas, Master, I don't know what he is thinking. He has closed the big mountain peaks. Without many junior sisters and junior brothers, daily life is boring." Wen Xinliang sighed softly. He often looked at the other four peaks. Every year, new and beautiful junior sisters came in, and there were many new junior brothers to bully. He was very envious.
While they were talking, the three of them had already arrived behind the queue at the entrance to the city. Wen Xinliang and Lin Daqiao had no intention of jumping in line, but stood directly at the back of the queue. However, their stop made the queue that had been waiting to enter the city awkward. The people behind Wu wanted to get out of the way after seeing the clothes of the three people clearly. However, they saw that the three people Wen Xinliang were just standing there talking to themselves and did not appear to step forward to jump in line. Then they couldn't help but let go of their worries a little. But even so, there were still many people who turned around and glanced at the three of them. It was not until they saw that these three people really had no intention of jumping in line that they slowly returned to normal.
Li Yan kept looking at the front when he came over. There were twelve guards standing at the city gate in front, and every four of them wore the same clothes. Li Yan guessed that this should be four different forces from the eight forces taking turns here. Among the twelve guards, there are two Foundation Establishment monks and ten Qi Condensation monks of the eighth level or above. Some of them were interrogated, some were registered, and some collected the spiritual stones. After they were issued a red or white waistband, they were allowed to enter.
"Everyone who enters the city must check the registration information. Although some information is undocumented, it is recorded after all. Everyone who enters the city must pay a low-grade spiritual stone. Those whose identities can be confirmed will be issued with white waistbands; those who cannot produce tokens will be issued with red waistbands. These people will be focused on after entering the city, and they must pay The number of spiritual stones accepted is five pieces." Just as Li Yan came over to observe, Lin Daqiao's message sounded in Li Yan's heart, which made Li Yan feel warm. He remembered that when he first entered the sect, this seventh senior brother also took the trouble to explain everything.
"Five low-grade spirit stones? Why are there so many? Then it's better to find a market that you are familiar with." Li Yan felt strange after hearing this. Five spirit stones are not worth ordinary people.
</di>
For a monk, it's too expensive.
After listening to Li Yan's voice message, Lin Daqiao smiled, "You don't understand. Once you enter the city and hand over the spirit stone, you will stay in the town for a day and a night. During this day and night, you are protected here and no one can do anything here. Those who pay five yuan Those who enter the market with spirit stones are either being chased here and spending the spirit stones to avoid trouble temporarily before making plans; or they really don't care about the five spirit stones. There is something they need in the market, and this person doesn't want to reveal his identity, so of course he will hide his whereabouts."
Li Yan After listening, it suddenly dawned on me that I had never thought that Fangshi could be exploited to such an extent. However, this was beneficial to both parties, and it was also a kind of cooperation.
"Then if you pay more spiritual stones, you can stay there longer?" Li Yan continued to ask.
"What I just said is just an ordinary thing. If we really encounter a very powerful person chasing here, these eight forces will also have to consider whether they are willing to provoke them. In addition, it is not necessary to collect spiritual stones when entering the city. For example, Golden Core Realm monks can enter the city directly and no one will collect spiritual stones." Lin Daqiao replied.
Just as the two of them were communicating, a young man wearing a light yellow gown at the city gate walked over quickly. This man was one of the two Foundation Establishment monks. He had reached the Foundation Establishment Early Stage level, which was very impressive.
He walked straight towards Wen Xinliang, who was obviously the leader. When he saw someone approaching, Li Yan and Lin Daqiao stopped communicating, but Wen Xinliang still looked that lazy. When he saw someone coming towards him, he just watched the other person walking step by step without any fluctuation in his expression.
After the man walked quickly in front of Wen Xinliang, he glanced at Li Yan behind him. His eyes stayed on Li Yan for a moment longer, with a look of surprise in his eyes. He had been working here for several years. Well, Wangliang Sect Qi Condensation Stage monks rarely come here. In his impression, he has only seen him once, and that was when an Wangliang Sect Golden Core Realm elder came here with his juniors.
The young man in the light yellow gown saw that the attitude of the two Wangliang Sect Foundation Establishment monks in front of him towards this Qi Condensation Stage disciple was not that of a disciple. He couldn't help but guess that he was the descendant of the Wangliang Sect elder again. But his face remained calm, that is, his eyes swept over Li Yan, bowed slightly towards Wen Xinliang, and said in a respectful low voice, "You three, please follow me, elders."
Wen Xinliang and Lin Daqiao seemed to know each other, so they didn't say much. They also handed over to this person, and Wen Xinliang directly replied, "Well, then I'll invite you!"
Li Yan saw this, his eyes flashed a few times,
No words.
The young man in the light yellow gown saw the Wen Xinliang three agreeing, so he walked forward with a smile. Wen Xinliang turned around and nuzzled at Li Yan, signaling to follow. Then he raised his legs and walked forward, still looking lazy.
When Lin Daqiao and Li Yan saw this, they also followed up and walked towards the city gate amidst the hesitant eyes of the monks waiting in line to enter the city. However, when the young man in the light yellow gown arrived at the city gate entrance, he did not stop at all to let The three of Li Yan did not intend to check and pay the spirit stones, but walked directly into the city. Li Yan followed Wen Xinliang and heard him chuckle and mutter, "Hey, I saved three spirit stones..."
After entering the city, a bustling atmosphere of the city hit us. Directly opposite the city gate was a wide street that could accommodate four or five large carriages running side by side. The two sides of the street were neatly decorated just as Li Yan had seen in the air before. The street is divided into pieces, and the shops facing the street are arranged one after another. The shop flags are waving, the river is clear, and the willow trees are leaning on it. From the street inwards, there are horizontal or slightly sloping streets that turn away every other distance, leading to various places, seemingly extending in all directions.
Although pedestrians were coming and going on the road, it didn't feel crowded on this wide road. These pedestrians were of all kinds and dressed in all sorts of strange ways, which made Li Yan a little surprised.
There are many times more monks in the city than the ones we met just now outside the town. Before Li Yan saw some monks dressed in very strange clothes outside the city. Some were dressed as scribes, some as Daoist priests, some as young women in palace clothes, and some in... There were women with extremely exposed looks, and even beggars with bad smells all over their bodies. At that time, Li Yan felt that there were all kinds of things, but the spiritual power fluctuations in all of them made him sure that everyone he met was a monk.
After entering the town now, I saw even more strange people. Some people were dressed in nondescript clothes, wearing Confucian long robes, but holding dazzling mourning sticks; some were very exotic, wearing colorful clothes, and walking barefoot; some were like Savages carry huge sticks several feet high on their shoulders. Their upper bodies are naked and their muscles are knotted. They usually only wear an unknown piece of Demon Beast fur around their waists to block their vital parts; some are like ghosts in the underworld. The ghosts were covered in black robes, their faces could not be seen clearly, and there were bursts of gloomy energy on their bodies... All these things really opened Li Yan's eyes, but the auras emanating from some people frightened Li Yan. After entering the city, and walking only a few hundred meters forward, he felt the auras of five Foundation Establishment monks. The strong pressure made few people around these five people approach.
There were even two or three people walking alone. Li Yan couldn't feel the other person's cultivation at all. The aura on their bodies was vague, and the pressure they showed was extremely weak, as if it didn't exist at all. But the more this happened, wherever these two or three people went, the people there would already have their expressions changed, and they would leave far away on their own.

.
Li Yan also knows a lot about the world of immortal cultivation now. He would never let Divine Sense scan the other party's cultivation for such things, knowing that it would only cause more trouble for his disciples.
However, other scenes on this street made Li Yan feel kind and familiar. He didn't expect that along the way, this place would be like doing business in the mortal world. In front of many shops, there were also many waiters outside shouting and greeting customers.
"Seniors, take a look, take a look, our elixir can help you overcome disasters. No need to sigh for broken limbs or serious injuries. It can recover and assist..."
"Our shop purchased a large amount of various Demon Beast inner elixirs, flesh and blood, and furs. The first time the shop only maintained capital, the second time the shop made a slight profit, and the third time the VIP gave a big gift..."
"Everyone, this equipment pavilion only sells magic weapons, Dharma Treasure. If you want to buy spiritual treasures or spiritual weapons, please go around... This equipment pavilion, Dharma Treasure, is cast by Master Heyezi of the "Duanfeng Sect". Each piece is of high quality, ranging from beginner to intermediate..."
Li Yan's ears were filled with sounds of soliciting customers from far or near, high or low, making Li Yan feel like he was in a lively market, except for the hawking of pancakes and tea.
He also saw one or two businesses with majestic gatehouses. At first glance, they looked like big merchants with profound heritage. Their doors were open, colorful flags were fluttering, and red carpets were spread on the floor. There were rows of slim women standing on each side of the door. They all had picturesque features and long skirts that touched the floor. They are tall and slender, and their skin is as smooth as snow. Whenever someone passes by the door of the store, no matter how they are dressed or whether they intend to enter or not, they all smile and nod. It makes people feel like they are facing a blooming peach blossom, and ripples can't help but appear in their hearts.
If someone enters, one of them will step out, move lightly with lotus steps, and curl up with graceful figures. After brushing him and giving him a bow, he will be welcomed in with the singing of birds and swallows, which gives people an indescribable sense of satisfaction.
Li Yan saw these familiar feelings all the way. If it weren't for the spiritual energy fluctuations in the waiters and the reception girls, and the sudden interruption of the scene by people in strange clothes walking across the street, he really thought he was back in Green Mountain Pass city.
The young man in the light yellow gown walked forward without looking back to talk to the three of them. He just walked quickly forward. After entering the city, the group did not walk for long. They only walked about four or five hundred meters on the road leading to the city gate, and then they arrived at a "well"-shaped intersection. The young man in the light yellow gown turned his head and stretched out his right hand to signal them to follow him around the corner. Then he turned Turning to the street on the right, this street is also a wide street that can accommodate four or five large carriages. There are also many shops along the way, but this time I only walked about a hundred steps before arriving at an inconspicuous alley. The young man turned back and glanced at the three of them, then turned in.
