Daily life of slaying demons in the government

Chapter 103: The Land of Thunder, the Thunder Continues

Yang Qian hurried along the way, still not understanding why the inexplicable killing ended so easily.

Those who claimed to be disciples of the Tianhan Sect were obviously robbers and thieves. Although it was the first time that Yang Qian knew that there were also thieves among the immortal masters, it was not difficult to guess the reason. They were just coveting the treasures offered as tribute to the Five Thunder Palace. After all, wealth and honor are sought in danger.

But why did he give up halfway through the fight?

And he looks like he wants to “get to know Yang Qian through fighting”?

While wondering, Yang Qian hurried on his way, and at the same time, his vigilance was raised to the highest level. He was not sure that there were only the Tianhan Sect robbers on the road, what if there were more behind?
Fortunately, he didn't encounter anyone who suddenly appeared and tried to rob him again.

After crossing the last hill, Yang Qian looked around. Even though he was mentally prepared, he was still stunned by the scene. He opened his mouth for a long time without saying a word.

The simple map in Yang Qian's hand showed Leiming Mountain as a high mountain covered by dark clouds and with a pattern of lightning.

At first glance, Yang Qian felt that the pattern was a bit exaggerated.

Now that he has arrived near Leiming Mountain, Yang Qian feels that the patterns on the map are actually still realistic in style, not exaggerated at all, and even very restrained.

There was a vast open space in front of him. Looking ahead, there were only three towering peaks, which was completely different from the numerous mountains that Yang Qian had seen along the way.

The terrain ahead is more like a basin that suddenly appears, with three peaks in the middle of the basin.

There was indeed a thick layer of dark clouds covering the mountain in the middle.

Rumble.
Even though it was still far away, the thunder could be faintly heard, and looking at the mountaintops covered by dark clouds, one could also see flashes of lightning.

You have to know that the weather in other areas was still very good at this time. Even where Yang Qian was, the sun was shining on the top of the mountain. There was no haze at all, and it was impossible to hear thunder or see lightning.

Only the large basin in front seems to be independent of the surrounding world and has its own changes.

"This should be the origin of the rumored 'land where thunder gathers and thunders ceaselessly'. It is truly a magical place.

However, with thunder and lightning all day long, how can the people on the mountain rest well?"

Yang Qian looked out into the distance on the mountain for a long time before coming back to his senses from the wonder before him. He began to walk down the mountain muttering to himself. He was only a short distance away from reaching his destination.

After a long time, Yang Qian finally entered the huge basin he had seen before, and the river that had followed him all the way meandered away from him.

The moment he stepped into the basin, Yang Qian felt as if the air here was different from anywhere else, giving people a damp and stuffy feeling like before a storm.

After walking for a while, Yang Qian saw a town, or rather a market. It was full of new and wonderful things, which were very different from what Yang Qian had seen and heard before. But he instinctively felt that these things might not all be reliable.

"Come and see! White Jade Cream! It is made with authentic immortal methods, and it takes 49 days to produce a jar. It is a gift for women! Use it once and you will be one year younger, use it twice and an old lady will turn into a young girl!"

"Brother, you look so handsome, you must be a handsome man that women like! My Niu Li Pills can definitely relieve you of too many worries for women! Just one pill, and you can have sex seven times a night easily."

"Little brother, I have here the secret longevity technique of the Five Thunder Palace Immortal. If you want it, let's move on and talk about it in detail."

This reminded Yang Qian of the vendors selling antiques in Sandao City. The things they said were more exaggerated than the others, and the things they sold were more fake than the others. For the truly rare things, such as the broken knife that Yang Qian had found, there was not even one person who knew the value of it.

The further he walked into the market, the more Yang Qian realized that although there were many scammers here, there were also people selling genuine goods, and they were even easy to identify.

Just look at the door of the shop to see if there is a golden thundercloud emblem. If there is, it means that the shop is opened by the outer gate of the Five Thunder Palace, and the things inside are naturally guaranteed. Otherwise, you have to rely on your own eyesight to distinguish the authenticity.

Yang Qian was not in a hurry to go to the foot of the mountain. There were still two days before the opening of the Five Thunder Palace, so he could stroll around here slowly.

After entering several shops marked with the Five Thunder Palace emblem, Yang Qian had two biggest feelings.

One is that there are so many good things in the Immortal Gate!

Another feeling is that I am really too poor! So poor that I have never even heard of exchanging some things.

There are elixirs, some weapons forged with special techniques, special magical medicine soups, and magical consumable items.

Yang Qian wanted everything. But in these shops, people didn’t use silver or gold to buy things, but spirit stones.

What is Lingshi?

Yang Qian looked at the shop assistant's contemptuous and unwilling eyes and realized that he was ignorant. So he immediately pestered the shop assistant to ask, and finally figured it out.

The so-called spirit stone is a kind of resource commonly used by immortals, evil cultivators, demon cultivators and other practitioners who practice longevity. It is an important item used for cultivation.

It's like food. Everyone needs food, especially when everyone doesn't have enough food, food undoubtedly becomes the hardest "currency".

This is roughly what Lingshi means.

But Yang Qian had no idea what the spirit stone looked like, and had never even heard of it.

So in the end, I could only walk around these shops and then leave quickly. I felt so frustrated after staying there for too long, because I couldn't afford to buy any good things I saw.

Of course, he might not be willing to buy it with gold. Unless it was something he really needed and couldn't get from anywhere else, wouldn't it be better to keep the gold for himself?
After walking around for a long time, Yang Qian finally remembered to look for an inn. However, when he went to ask, the inn was already fully booked. This happened to four inns in a row.

How to do?
Stay more without intention.

I couldn't afford to buy anything, and there was no place to stay in the inn, so why did I stay here? I continued to move towards Thunder Mountain overnight. If I went there earlier, I might be able to ask about the situation there in advance.

As a result, Yang Qian met many people who were also traveling at night like him.

Most of them were warriors with one or several half-grown children, or even a caravan. A few, like Yang Qian, were adults who were alone, carrying bags on their backs.

Those with children will chat with each other when they meet. After all, there is no limit on the number of people who can attend the Five Thunder Palace. As long as you show enough talent on the Thunder Mountain Ladder, you can become a disciple of the Five Thunder Palace. There is no competition among everyone. Maybe they will be fellow disciples in the future. Chatting in advance may allow them to take care of each other when they have the chance.

But people like Yang Qian, who were carrying bags and were obviously here to offer treasures, would tacitly keep their distance from each other, let alone have any conversation.

When he arrived at the foot of Leiming Mountain, Yang Qian looked up and saw a huge platform. Next to the platform was a stone staircase less than ten feet wide, going straight up, with no end in sight.
