What kind of fairy are you cultivating?

Chapter 219 Special City

With the identity token as a cover and some money, Liu Qing and the others left Zhao State through Longkou Pass smoothly.

As soon as they entered Longkou Pass, Zhang Sanren pointed at the road ahead and explained it to Liu Qing and the others.

"Brother Wei, Brother Jiang, if we go further we will completely leave the territory of Zhao."

"If I remember correctly, the next place we have to pass is called Bora City."

"This city built on the border of Zhao and Wei belongs to neither Zhao nor Wei."

"It is a city with independent sovereignty."

Hearing Zhang Sanren's words, Liu Qing became interested.

Based on the information he currently has, there are usually two situations in a city that is out of state control.

First, this city is close to some major sects, or is within the sect's sphere of influence.

Although such cities still belong to the country on the surface, they are actually controlled by the sects that govern them.

For example, Xueyun City is controlled by Qingling Sect, and Miaoyin City is controlled by Miaoyin Valley.

Of course, there is another situation.

There is an area of ​​huge controversy between countries.

These areas often change hands many times due to the ebb and flow of strength between countries.

For example, when the Wei State was powerful, Longkou Pass was divided into the territory of the Wei State several times, and when the strength of the Zhao State rose, Longkou Pass once again became a city under the jurisdiction of the Zhao State.

But this type of city is different from those controlled by the sect.

No matter how turbulent the surrounding situation is, in the end they still have to belong to a certain country.

But now, the Baolai City that Zhang Sanren was talking about was located at the border between Zhao and Wei.

But according to Zhang Sannin, Bora City does not belong to either of these two countries at all.

It is a city with absolute autonomy.

'Strange, really strange...'

Such things beyond cognition really made Liu Qing curious.

"Brother Zhang, you have traveled abroad for many years, do you know a lot about the affairs of Baolai City?"

"I have nothing to do on the way, why don't you tell us..."

Zhang Sannin's identity is a demon hunter, and his duty and mission is to find and eradicate those demons who do evil in the mortal world.

Since he was able to come from the distant Qin State to the territory of Zhao State, he must have experienced a lot of things during this period.

What he saw, heard, and held was definitely much richer than those of Liu Qing and other disciples who had stayed in the sect for a long time.

Now that Liu Qing has become interested in the affairs of Baolai City, it was Zhang Sannin who first raised the matter.

Then it would definitely not be wrong to ask him about this matter.

But what Liu Qing didn't expect was that Zhang Sannin knew very little about his own problem.

According to Zhang Sanren, when he was walking from Wei to Zhao, Baolai City was going through a war. In order not to get into any trouble, Zhang Sanren simply took a detour and detoured from the south of Baolai City before entering Longkou Pass.

"A few years ago, Baolai City still belonged to the Zhao State. After that war, Baolai City declared its independent existence from the Zhao State."

"Moreover, Zhao Guo and Wei Guo also stood up and admitted this fact."

"The war that year was probably a battle between the forces in Baolai City and the State of Zhao, over the ownership of Baolai City."

Zhang Sanren's words made Liu Qing even more incredible.

It takes the power of a city to fight against an entire country, and there is no support from any major sects.

How did this Bora City do it?

Judging from the location of Baolai City, it must not only be facing pressure from the Zhao State, but the Wei State on the other side must also be eyeing it.

In this case, there must be something in Baolai City that makes both Zhao and Wei fearful.

It is for this reason that the two countries had to publicly recognize the independent status of Bora City.

"Since this Bora City is so elusive, why don't we still take a detour?"

Jiang Yu, who had been listening carefully, suddenly spoke up and put forward his own suggestions.

Judging from his thoughts, this Baolai City dared to resist even Zhao and Wei, and it had not been affected by the sects of the two countries.

There must be some kind of behemoth in it.

If they entered it rashly, the identity of the monk might be directly exposed.

If any of the forces in the city were dissatisfied and took action against them, it would undoubtedly bring obstacles to their westward journey.

Therefore, in order to ensure that the rest of the trip went smoothly, Jiang Yu suggested bypassing Baolai City and continuing forward.

After hearing Jiang Yu's words, Liu Qing also fell into thinking.

Ever since Zhang Sannin briefly talked about the situation in Baolai City, Liu Qing had shown a strong interest in it.

But their main mission this time was to reach Qin safely, and then find the leader Xiao Sheng who had been missing for many years in Qin.

Whether this task can be successfully completed is related to whether Qingling Sect can rise again in the future.

Not at all sloppy.

In order for the rest of the trip to go smoothly and for the sake of the overall situation of Qingling Sect, Liu Qing could only put away her curiosity for the time being.

He nodded and agreed to Senior Brother Jiang Yu's suggestion.

"There is indeed a lot of weirdness in this Baolai City. In order not to cause any trouble, let's follow the same path that you took before, Brother Zhang."

Hearing that both of them wanted to avoid Baolai City, Zhang Sannin smiled bitterly, shook his head slowly and said:
"Baolai City during the previous war was a deserted land, so you could take any detour."

"But since both Zhao and Wei recognized its status, all roads near Baolai City have been blocked."

"If you want to enter Wei State from Longkou Pass, you must go through Baolai City."

Because of their proximity, Zhao State and Wei State share a large area of ​​territory bordering each other.

But some of these places are either controlled by sects, or heavily guarded by two countries. If Liu Qing and others want to enter those places, it will only take a matter of minutes for their identities to be exposed.

This road out of Longkou Pass and into Wei State is currently the easiest road for them.

But now, the sudden appearance of Baolai City in front of them caused them some difficulties.

If someone in the city really discovers their identity and exposes their whereabouts, Liu Qing and the others will most likely face a joint pursuit by the immortal cultivators of Zhao and Wei.

This is extremely detrimental to their subsequent actions.

But currently, this is the only way to go to Qin.

If they don't go, they have to go.

"Don't worry, although I have never been to Baolai City, I have heard a lot about it."

"Since it broke away from Zhao and Wei, it quickly became extremely rich and prosperous."

"Even the capitals of the two countries are incomparable."

"And the current attitude of Baolai City towards monks is extremely friendly. As long as monks enter the city, they will not only be exempted from identity checks, but will also receive special treatment." "In addition to not having to pay any tolls, some people in the city All other consumption can be exempted accordingly.”

"This is a place that countless casual cultivators dream of!"

Listening to Zhang Sanren's description, this so-called Baolai City, which is independent of Zhao and Wei, is simply a paradise for monks, especially those who travel around.

"That……"

Since this road is the only way for them to go to Qin State, and if they want to take this road, Baolai City cannot be bypassed no matter what.

Even though Liu Qing and Jiang Yu were still wary of this city at this time, they still had to go.

"Then let's go. We have been staying in the sect all year round, but this is the first time we have heard of such a wonderful place."

"This time, I just want to see it!"

Liu Qing patted Jiang Yu's shoulder, and then continued forward under the leadership of Zhang Sanren.

Because it was a road outside the city, there were almost no people around, so Liu Qing and the others also used spiritual skills to speed up their journey.

After walking a certain distance, the Bora City that made them curious appeared in front of them.

Magnificent and domineering.

This was Liu Qing's first comment after seeing this city.

During the time he left Qingling Sect, he also visited many cities in the Zhao Kingdom, including Jiangning City, the third largest city in the Zhao Kingdom, and Longkou Pass, an important place in the west they just passed through.

But these big cities in Zhao State are far behind Baolai City.

The walls of Baolai City are tall and upright, and the gates of Baolai City are thick and solid.

Even the moat outside the city has large-scale defense facilities installed.

These defense facilities can not only effectively attack invading armies, but also have a certain deterrent effect on some monks who have evil intentions.

Because, it also contains many powerful magic circles.

Liu Qing learned this from Lao Huang.

"It is indeed a place that can make both Zhao and Wei bow their heads. This first line of defense facilities alone is enough to ensure the peace and stability of Baolai City."

After sighing with emotion, Liu Qing and the others observed the situation outside Bora City from a distance.

They were surprised to find that there were many spiritual energy fluctuations among the pedestrians coming and going.

This also means that there are indeed many monks among these pedestrians.

"It seems that this Baolai City is really as friendly to the monks as the rumors say."

Vaguely, Liu Qing seemed to have her own guess.

The fact that Baolai City was able to get rid of the control of Zhao and Wei in a very short period of time and truly achieve independence had something to do with its monk-friendly policy.

"Let's go, let's go to the city too."

"It's getting dark now, so I'll go into Baolai City to take a good rest."

Under the leadership of Liu Qing, Jiang Yu and Zhang Sannin also headed straight towards the gate of Baolai City.

As for Lao Huang and Xiao Zhisi, in order not to cause trouble, they still chose to hide their figures in the same way as before.

As soon as they arrived at the city gate, Liu Qing and his party were stopped by guards.

Before Liu Qing could speak, Zhang Sannin on the side took the lead in releasing his aura.

After feeling the fluctuations of spiritual power, the guards instantly changed their expressions to friendly expressions, and their words were a little more respectful.

"It turns out you are a cultivator. Welcome to our Baolai City."

Seeing that Zhang Sanren received preferential treatment after revealing his identity, Liu Qing and Jiang Yu looked at each other and released their auras one after another.

"The three of you are practitioners. We have offended you. Please forgive me."

The expressions of the guards became more respectful, and they began to express their apologies to Liu Qing and the others.

Then, they greeted and opened the city gate to let them go.

In this way, surrounded by several guards, Liu Qing and the others finally entered the Baolai City.

As soon as they entered the city, they were quickly attracted by everything around them.

The layout and atmosphere here are very different from those previous cities in the Zhao Kingdom.

The first thing is that people's dressing style here is much more free and open than other places.

Those cool clothes that could only appear in Liu Qing's previous life are now all over the streets.

"This...this, hiss~"

Among the three, Jiang Yu is an innocent person who blushes easily when he is not around.

Although Zhang Sannin looks serious on the surface, he actually has a lot of thoughts in his heart and can be called a rather sullen character.

As for Liu Qing, although he has been more restrained in the past six months, the title of Goulan Immortal is not for nothing.

But even with such a comprehensive combination, when they saw the white flowers and milky whites coming and going around, they all took a breath.

"This Baolai City really deserves its reputation."

Jiang Yu touched his hot cheek and sighed in a low voice.

Zhang Sanren quickly wiped the sweat from the corner of his mouth and said with a serious face:
"Freedom prevails here, which suits my taste."

"But I have to make it clear that the reason why I like it here is purely because I yearn for freedom, and there is absolutely no other reason!"

Looking at the performance of these two good brothers, Liu Qing just smiled slightly.

In fact, when he first entered Baolai City, he was in a trance.

After seeing the surrounding buildings and the clothes of pedestrians, he seemed to feel that he had returned to the world he lived in before.

This is simply too similar.

"After traveling for such a long time, let's find a place to rest first."

"Come out later and experience the hot customs and customs of Bora City."

Walking through the lively streets, everything around you is soft and crowded.

Resist the urge, suppress the desire, and move forward.

After searching and inquiring, Liu Qing and the others finally arrived at the most luxurious and enjoyable place in Baolai City.

Here, it integrates catering, accommodation, tea tasting and other entertainment projects. There are hundreds of ways for people to relax.

Seeing the people coming in and out here with intoxicated and satisfied faces, Zhang Sanren couldn't help but sigh.

"This place is truly a paradise on earth."

However, Liu Qing's focus at this time was on another matter.

The name of this massive entertainment venue.

It’s called Furui Tower!
