Soul Palace No. 1 Player

Chapter 131 Black Seal City; Pawn Shop

In the original setting, space wormholes are considered "top-level transportation construction."

Normally, it takes at least two Dou Zuns and a lot of time to complete the construction.

Zhongzhou is the most prosperous and vast area in the Douqi Continent.

The problem caused by the large area is that it is very inconvenient to travel.

Even someone as powerful as a Dou Huang whose Dou Qi turns into wings, or a Dou Zong who can walk in the air, would be so tired that they would doubt their lives if they simply relied on flying to travel.

Therefore, a space wormhole that allows rapid travel is the greatest guarantee for transportation in Zhongzhou.

Only cities with space wormholes have the possibility of rapid development.

But for a region like the Northwest Continent where spiritual energy is relatively thin, the word "Dou Zun" has almost become a legend!

But legends are also written by people.

For example, the Black Horn region.

Hundreds of years ago, a mysterious strong man named "Mantian Chi" traveled around the world and passed by the Black Horn Region. In the magma land at the center of the Black Horn Region, he discovered the "Fallen Heart Flame" that was being nurtured! (I will write more about the Eight Ancient Clans in the later version update. It doesn't advance the plot now, so I won't waste the words.)
Ranked 14th on the Strange Fire List, the Fallen Heart Flame is known as a "cheat for cultivation." Its special "heart fire power" can temper fighting spirit and speed up cultivation.

The mysterious and powerful Mang Tianchi suddenly felt inspired and used the power of space to suppress the Fallen Heart Flame. He established the Canaan Academy, recruited geniuses in the northwest continent, and used the Fallen Heart Flame to help them practice.

Of course, as a top-notch expert with extraordinary means, Mang Tianchi left Canaan College after it was operating normally and continued to travel the world.

But he was concerned about this place after all, so he spent a lot of time and energy to build several space wormholes so that he could come back to visit in the future without having to travel long distances.

The space wormhole that Yang Shan was looking for was the one left by the president of Canaan College, "Mangtianchi".

It's not just the Gama Empire.

The Chuyun Empire, Luoyan Empire, and Mulan Empire all have space wormholes built by Mang Tianchi that can lead directly to the Black Horn Region.

The ultimate reason is that the terrain of the Black Horn region is too remote.

Even with a flying mount, it would take quite a while to get there.

But the highest level of these four empires is only Dou Zong.

That’s why Tianyao Company specially arranged this background.

However, these space wormholes will not appear in the version update notes.

Players have to find it themselves and then share the news on the forum.

Yang Shan remembered that in his previous life, news about these space wormholes appeared on the forum at least two versions later.

The shadows of hooves galloped all the way, heading towards the place in Yang Shan's memory.

The monsters encountered along the way are basically second or third level.

Under the might of the third-level beast king, Hoof Shadow, they didn't even dare to initiate an attack.

It was convenient to have a mount. It only took Yang Shan half a day to reach the destination.

The landmarks are brief.

It's just a three-meter-high stone tablet.

The stone tablet was covered with cracks and did not have a single word on it.

There is just a depression below the stone tablet.

But don't underestimate this stone tablet.

Even if a Dou Zong expert took action and used up all his Dou Qi, he might not be able to do anything to the stone tablet.

Yang Shan took out a handful of spirit stones from his storage ring and threw them into the depression.

The spirit stone was like an ice cube encountering extremely high temperature. It melted in a few breaths until it disappeared.

Yang Shan was not surprised at all and continued to stuff spirit stones into it.

It was not until all 100,000 spirit stones were used up that the stone tablet began to move.

The cracks on the stone tablet emitted light, and a black dot appeared in the center, gradually spreading out, forming the entrance to a space wormhole.

[Ding! Players, please note that you have triggered a special space wormhole. The current space wormhole is in a stable state and players can enter it. The other end of the space wormhole is located in the southern part of the Black Horn Region.]

Yang Shan put the hoof shadow back into the mount order and plunged in.

About half an hour later, Yang Shan appeared at the other exit of the space channel.

With his feet on the ground, Yang Shan took a deep breath.

There was a faint smell of blood in the air.

This is the taste!

Yang Shan recalled the glorious years when he lived in this place in his previous life and couldn't help but shout:
"Black Horn Region, I'm back again!"

As soon as Yang Shan finished speaking, he felt the fluctuations of fighting spirit approaching from behind.

Lei Yin's sword was unsheathed, and the sharp sword force emanated.

Yang Shan turned around and saw a big man in black with flames rising from the tiger-head knife in his hand.

Yang Shan dodged the blow by leaning sideways and chopped it down with his sword.

Ding!
Yang Shan's knife was blocked by the opponent!
You know, the black-clothed man’s cultivation level is only at the peak of the Fighting Master level!

Although Yang Shan's knife was casual, his speed was extremely fast.

But this knife was actually blocked by the big man in black!
It’s just that Yang Shan’s panel attributes were too high, and even though the black-clothed man tried to block, he still lost two hundred drops of blood.

The big man in black retreated again and again:

"What a tricky idea!"

This is the Black Corner Domain!

The NPCs here, even at the lowest level, keep their heads on their waists.

Has absolutely rich practical experience!
Not only is he experienced, but he is also very decisive in retreating when he cannot win.

However, the big man in black turned around and took only two steps when Yang Shan’s knife arrived!
The big man in black was wearing his fighting spirit gauze robe even when he was running away.

But with the help of the attack of "Ba Dao", Yang Shan cut off the black-clothed man's fighting spirit gauze clothes and his head with one sword!

[Ding! The player kills an unknown NPC (Peak Fighter), and gains 110 experience points. The player can choose one item from the dropped items.] All the dropped items of this NPC have appeared in the selection list.

As expected, it was all garbage.

Yang Shan reluctantly picked a high-level yellow-grade green-character seal technique.

It can be sold for dozens of dollars in a trading house.

At least it’s enough for a proper fast food meal.

This is the Black Horn area.

You may be attacked by others at any time and anywhere.

And often there is no reason for such attacks.

Just like Yang Shan now, this was definitely the first time he met the other party and they had no grudges against each other.

The other party simply wanted to kill people and rob.

As a result, I didn't understand Yang Shan's strength.

Like an egg hitting a rock, you will end up with your head and body separated.

Yang Shan collected dozens of spirit stones that had fallen on the ground into his storage ring and walked towards the towering city that was vaguely visible in the north.

Don't summon Hoof Shadow for now.

Yang Shan was still hoping for more NPCs to come and rob people.

For Yang Shan now, if he wants to get some decent profit, he may have to set his sights on the Douling NPC.

But if the Douling NPC saw that Yang Shan was riding a hoof shadow, he probably wouldn't care much about it.

The speed of the hoof shadows is such that one must be a powerful wind-attributed fighting spirit, or have superb body skills, or have a mount of the same level.

Otherwise I really can’t catch up!

Not long after, Yang Shan arrived at the city gate.

On the city gate, the three big characters "Black Seal City" looked like they were cut out by a knife.

This city was also the first city where the protagonist Xiao Yan of the original novel settled when he was hunted by the Yunlan Sect and fled to the Black Horn Region.

Xiao Yan, whose strength was only at the Grand Fighter level at the time, was just a bystander at the auction of the Eight Gates, the strongest force in Black Seal City.

However, forces such as the Blood Sect, the Heavenly Snake Palace, and the Skeleton Sect were arguing with each other fiercely.

At the auction, Tianshe Mansion was the biggest winner.

So after the auction ended, it was natural that the Tianshe Mansion was attacked by other forces.

The Blood Clan simply played a trick of robbing the thieves.

Because a fragmentary map with information related to the third place on the Strange Fire List: Pure Lotus Demonic Fire appeared at the auction!

So Xiao Yan played a trick of "waiting for the oriole behind" and took advantage of the time when the Blood Sect's Sect Master Fan Lao was dealing with the elders of the Heavenly Snake Mansion to kill the Blood Sect's young Sect Master.

Not only did he get the remaining map of the Pure Lotus Demon Fire, he also got the Earth-level body movement fighting skill "Three Thousand Thunders", the seventh-grade elixir Yin-Yang Mysterious Dragon Pill, and the various collections of the young sect master. He made a fortune!
This experience had a profound impact on Xiao Yan, and it even reached the level of Dou Sheng at one point!

When he first arrived in Black Seal City, Xiao Yan was a great fighting master.

Now Yang Shan comes to Black Seal City, he is also a great fighting master!
The difference is that at that time, Xiao Yan not only subdued the strange fire, but also had Yao Lao by his side, and even the fighting skills he learned were a level higher than Yang Shan's.

Of course, Yang Shan didn't even think about comparing himself with Xiao Yan.

Xiao Yan is the protagonist of the original novel, and he is now just a player in the derivative game of the original novel.

At the city gate, a large number of city guards with stern faces demanded entrance fees from people entering the city.

Although these city guards are generally only at the fighting master level.

But even a great fighting master or even a fighting spirit has to hand over a thousand spirit stones when entering the city!
Random fighting is prohibited in Black Seal City.

These thousand spirit stones are protection fees!
After entering the city, even if you want to cause trouble, you have to do it secretly.

Whoever dares to make a big noise will be made aware by the forces in the city what cruelty is!

Especially the "Eight Gates", the biggest force in Black Seal City, whose leader Yuan Yi is the tenth most powerful character on the "Black List" of Black Horn Region!
Other cities have similar rules.

After all, if there is no order and only chaos, the final outcome will be destruction.

It’s best not to commit crimes in the city, and if you do commit crimes, it’s best not to be discovered by others.

And outside the city, you can do whatever you want!
Yang Shan paid a thousand spirit stones and entered the city smoothly.

walk down the street.

There are many NPCs coming and going, and most of them are more or less evil.

In the city, they kept their heads down and behaved like ordinary people.

Outside the city, each of them could be a butcher who eats people without leaving any bones behind!

Yang Shan also has to keep a low profile now.

So before entering the city, he had already put on a mask and covered his Fire Cloud Robe with a wide black robe.

This bright red Hundred Refined Grade equipment is really too eye-catching.

If Yang Shan was dressed like this in the Gama Empire, it would definitely be very special, but in the Black Horn Region, people who wrap themselves tightly can be seen everywhere.

Yang Shan walked on the street following the route he remembered.

I just took a closer look when passing by the Eight Gates Mansion.

Heading north, we turned a corner and came to a very ordinary-looking shop.

There was no shop name, nor was there a maid standing at the door to greet customers.

There are two words written on the slightly old plaque:

pawn.

No one in the entire Black Seal City knew that the owner behind this pawn shop was a man powerful enough to rank in the top five of the Black List.
Soul Palace Soul Envoy!
