The Wonderful Way

Chapter 51: Inside the City of Zhu Si

The large flying boat is just like the one used by Tianjizong to send disciples to the secret realm, even bigger and more refined.
The pavilions and gardens above are exquisite, the water is gurgling under a small bridge, and there are even spirit butterflies flying around.

The flying boat has two floors, and the surrounding circle is also housing. The monks can see the garden outside and the scenery outside the boat from the other side.

Spirit meals are also provided on the large flying boat, but the price is higher and the taste is not very good.

Chu Miao and Gu Nianning turned around on the flying boat, sitting and eating and chatting in the pavilion beside the man-made stream, it was much more comfortable than being bored in the room.

Ten days on the flying boat was faster than expected, this time the journey was smooth, and there was no storm, and soon arrived at the boundary of Duan Yuezong, Zhusi City.

Duanyue Sect and Tianji Sect have the same jurisdiction, and Zhusi City is the closest to the Tianji Sect.

As soon as Chu Miao stepped off the flying boat, she felt a completely different scene from Tianjizong.

Most of the monks of high and low ranks walking on the street carried long swords on their backs and wore white or blue Taoist robes, reminiscent of ancient cultivators.

The female cultivators are also not like Tianji Sect, who wear colorful French skirts and fancy hairstyles.

Most of the female cultivators here wear high buns and simple clothes. They also carry long swords and look heroic.

Chu Miao didn't know how to tie her hair up, and because she was still young, she often went out with braids, so she was wearing a lavender dress at this time, which wasn't too conspicuous.

It's just that Gu Nianning's braids all over his head, his bright green French skirt, and his weird expression made him seem out of place.

However, there are many monks from other places who travel to and from Zhu Sicheng, and the monks don't casually look at others when they are outside, so as not to cause misunderstandings and disputes, so no one stares at Gu Nianning.

The architectural style of Zhusi City is also completely different from the cities under the jurisdiction of Tianji Sect.

Tianji Sect is in the east, with many mountains and forests, and there is a boundless sea further east.

The monks in the east are mostly Taoists, and most of the buildings are grand and simple.

In the west where Duanyue Sect is located, there are mountains, rivers, forests, and deserts in the west. Most monks practice with swords.

Therefore, the gates of Zhusi City exuded a chill and vastness, and the buildings in the city were also very simple, but they exuded the unique domineering spirit of sword cultivators.

Both of them were full of freshness to this unfamiliar style, and after getting off the flying boat, they first found a clean inn to stay in, and went shopping outside without stopping.

The market in Zhusi City is naturally divided into shops and small stalls, Chu Miao and Gu Nianning first went straight to the street full of shops.

The streets are paved with sword-grinding stones, which are very flat and beautiful. Sword-grinding stones are stones used to polish first-order magical artifacts when refining magical artifacts.

But the sword sharpening stone is only a first-order spirit ore, and the output is also very large, and it does not need to be formed for a long time, so it is not particularly extravagant to use it to pave the road.

Of course, not any city can use sword sharpening stones to pave the road, but Zhusi City is very large, and it is considered one of the big cities in the entire east, so it is used to pave the road.

Chu Miao entered a shop that wasn't too big in the market, which had everything that one could expect to find, but the price was more than two or three times cheaper than that of Tianjizong.

The two of them took a closer look, and found that the quality of the things was very good, similar to that of Zhenyi Pavilion and Wanbao Pavilion.

There was a chubby middle-aged man in the store, who was in the late stage of foundation establishment, and asked kindly: "Are you two friends from the east?"

Chu Miao and the others nodded their heads and said yes after performing junior salutes. The monk hurriedly said, "You don't need to be too polite. My surname is Wu and I am the shopkeeper of this store. You two are curious about the extremely low prices here?"

Chu Miao nodded, "May I ask senior why this is? The quality of these alchemy talisman formations is excellent, and it would be more than two or three times more expensive in the east."

Shopkeeper Wu chuckled, "You don't know, although Zhu Sicheng said that monks from other places come and go, but compared to the local monks, they are only a very small number.

In our side, there are many sword cultivators, and there are very few Taoist cultivators. Therefore, as long as it is an ore spirit that can raise a sword, the price will be quite expensive.

Sword cultivators don't need the elixirs, talismans, magic weapon arrays used by Taoist cultivators, and fewer people buy them, so the price is naturally cheaper.

The two of you came here to practice after getting ready in the west?There is no need to do this next time, buy some important ones, and buy them again when you come to Zhusi City, you will save a lot of spirit stones. "

After speaking, shopkeeper Wu saw someone entering the store again, and let Chu Miao and Gu Nianning take a look at it casually, and greeted the customers again.

After wandering around the store for a while, the two bought a stack of second-order sword energy talismans, and saw that the other items were no different from what they usually saw, so they stopped shopping.

The two of them took a random look around again, and found that no matter how big or small the shop is, the things used by Taoists are indeed extremely cheap, but as long as they are related to swords, they are several times more expensive.

Chu Miao saw a good sword of the first-order super-grade, which was made of black fine iron. Such a sword is considered expensive near the Tianji Sect, but it is only about twenty middle-grade spirit stones.

And in the shop here, the price is [-] middle-grade spirit stones, and I saw two or three monks scrambling for it.

After shopping all morning, Chu Miao wanted to find a restaurant to taste the specialties of the local spiritual meal, but when the two entered a larger restaurant on the street, they found that the dishes inside were not only mediocre in appearance, but tasted the same.

Both Chu Miao and Gu Nianning came out disappointed, they only took a bite or two of the dishes they ordered, it was really hard to swallow.

I wanted to forget about being hungry for a day, but after turning around the alley, I found a random building in the alley. No matter the architectural style or the inscription on the plaque, it was exactly the same as the random building in Tianjifang City.

The two of them entered the store and saw that the nanmu tables and stools and the carving patterns on them were the same as the one in Tianjifang City.

After sitting down, Chu Miao saw that there was no one in the hall, and thought that although the location was a bit remote, there must be no one at the meal.

After waiting for a while, a well-trained female cultivator opened the curtain, came out from the back kitchen, stared at the two of them carefully, and then shouted in a fit of anger: "The shopkeeper, it's really a customer, isn't it?" Those debt collectors!"

After roaring, he stared at the two with a smile, like a spirit beast that has been starving for a long time seeing food, the gleam in his eyes is not concealed.

Although the female cultivator's eyes were shining, her appearance was upright and beautiful, and she was not greedy or vicious, and greeted them warmly.

"Two fellow daoists want to eat something, the beauty soup in our store is very popular with female cultivators, after one meal, I want another meal!

It's not me bragging, flying in the sky and running underground, there is nothing my shopkeeper can't catch!As long as the two of you ask, we can serve the food! "

After speaking, he patted his chest, for fear that the two of them might not believe it.

Chu Miao looked around at the empty lobby, and couldn't help being suspicious, but seeing that the female cultivator was so enthusiastic, she could only force a smile on her face, "Thank you, fellow daoist, we just want three specialty dishes and a jar Just Wuquan wine."

When the middle-aged nun heard Wuquan wine, her eyes lit up. Just as she was about to say something, she saw a monk in a white Taoist robe pacing gracefully out of the back kitchen.

"Are you from the Tianji sect?" The white-clothed friar looked 25 years old, with all his spiritual power put away, and he couldn't see his cultivation at all.

Chu Miao and Gu Nianning immediately became vigilant, but they knew that this cultivator was at least in the Nascent Soul stage, so they had to politely respond first.

The friar in white has sword eyebrows and starry eyes. He is tall and tall. He obviously has a very resolute face, but he has no temperament in his whole body. He leans against the wall as if he has no bones.

Seeing that the two of them were indeed from the Tianji sect, they grinned, and were about to reach out to stroke their beards, but found that they didn't, so they retracted their hands in embarrassment, and said:
"No wonder I know my Wuquan wine, Mr. Ji, it's rare for me to see people from my hometown, so today I'm free from spirit stones."

After all, regardless of Chu Miao and Gu Nianning, and the shining-eyed female cultivator standing aside, they went into the back kitchen on their own.

The middle-aged female cultivator kept staring at the two of them, so bright that she couldn't bear to look directly at them.
Seeing the male cultivator who claimed to be Ji Lao left, he sat down next to Chu Miao, took out a pot of spiritual tea from the storage bag, poured three cups, and chattered non-stop.
