Chapter 220 The Strange Town of Guajingzhou
The entrance fee is ten high-quality spirit stones per person, which is already a sky-high price in the Xuanling Continent.
Even Gu Wangchen, who was not short of money, felt a little painful.
Even the guards at the city gate reluctantly opened the gate to let them in.
The city gate was locked shortly after they entered.
Guajingzhou, which seems to have no resources in the eyes of outside cultivators, is not much less prosperous than the market town under Qingxuan Sect.
The only people in the Qingxuan Sect’s market are human cultivators, and the monsters are sold as commodities.
Most of the people in Guajingzhou are expressionless orcs and large monsters walking around with the orcs.
There were almost no small monsters, and there were few stalls on the street, only a few scattered vendors selling Guajingzhou specialty snacks and silverthorn flowers.
Silverthorn flower is unique to the salt sea and is the flower of the silverthorn which has no medicinal effect.
It looks a bit like silver lavender flowers, tied into bunches by the monks of Guajingzhou and wrapped in red lotus leaves. The red and silver colors complement each other, which is very beautiful.
The snack is a rice cake made from silverthorn rice mixed with red lotus tree sap, which has a herbal fragrance, a slightly bitter taste but a sweet aftertaste.
Apart from that, there are only a few shops selling jewelry, all of which are simple in style but popular nowadays.
It is hard to imagine that a secluded small town can keep up with the trend of the world of immortal cultivation.
Leng Zhuxin also carefully looked at the female cultivators she met on the road. The clothes they wore were the most popular at the time.
There are even Hezi skirts embroidered with silver orchid patterns, which is a new style that has just been released in the world of immortal cultivation for half a year!
Yin Tingting, who was also a female cultivator, realized that something was wrong and couldn't help but frown.
But when they realized someone was looking at them, they immediately returned to normal.
Leng Zhuxin even walked to a small stall and asked the stall owner with a smile how many rice cakes she wanted to buy.
He also asked where the best inn was and generously gave him three high-quality spirit stones.
The stall owner looked indifferent when he saw the top-grade spirit stone, without any joy or surprise.
Even when he handed the rice cake to Leng Zhuxin, he raised his eyelids and looked at Leng Zhuxin twice.
She placed the top-grade spirit stone at the foot of the table without putting it away.
Leng Zhuxin took out a hot rice cake from the paper bag and took a bite as if nothing happened.
He kept praising the food for being delicious and handed the paper bag to Jiang Baimo and the others.
As if they didn't notice anyone was staring at them, they walked towards the inn in the direction pointed by Leng Zhuxin's stall owner.
She bought a lot of small things along the way, and she visited almost every stall.
Except for one or two stall owners who would collect the spirit stones, most of them were just left on the table casually.
The waiter in the inn was even lazier, not even greeting guests when they arrived.
Without even a smile, he stood in front of the counter and raised his eyelids. "One room in the upper room costs one hundred high-grade spirit stones. Hot water and food are not provided."
As he said this, he took the rag off his shoulder and casually hit the counter twice.
He pointed to the wooden box next to him.
"Just throw the spirit stones in the box. We don't have lower rooms. A medium-sized room costs sixty high-grade spirit stones.
Do you want a superior or a medium room?"
"Seven high-quality guest rooms."
Gu Wangchen threw a storage bag into the box, and there were exactly seven hundred high-grade spirit stones in the storage bag.
The waiter didn't count, still looking lazy, and casually pulled out seven signs from the side, "Fifth floor, turn right."
Gu Wangchen put the sign away and distributed it to Leng Zhuxin and others after going upstairs.
Ignoring the gazes that had been fixed on them since they entered the store, they each went into their respective rooms.
Half an hour later, they finally met up in Sang Lai Yue's room.
Sang Lai Yue had been waiting for them for a while, and a soundproof barrier had been set up in the room to prevent spiritual perception.
Leng Zhuxin threw the gadgets she bought at the stall on the table: "These things are the most popular in the world of immortal cultivation recently, and some are new styles from last month.
I see that the clothes worn by the female cultivators and female orcs on the street are no different from those worn by the Qingxuan Sect market.
There aren't many monks from outside the town. I see there are only a few of us staying in this inn.
Top-grade spirit stones seemed to be nothing in their eyes. They just put them aside without worrying about anyone taking them away, as if they were something they were used to seeing. They didn't look like small vendors at all.
There is a smell in the city, but because there are so many monsters, I can't be sure whether it is the smell of the green rat.
But it still smells bad.”
Leng Zhuxin wrinkled her nose, the strange smell of stinky and sweet still lingered at the tip of her nose.
Gu Wangchen and others also smelled it. Su Fanzhen was sitting by the window at this time.
He tapped his fingers on the windowsill from time to time, and waited until Leng Zhuxin finished speaking before speaking: "Not only that, have you noticed that those orcs have no expression on their faces? Even when they see outsiders, they don't look at them curiously.
The people buying things at the stalls are all human cultivators, and the orcs only walk around the town with their monsters."
Su Fanzhen observed very carefully. Sitting on the windowsill, he had a panoramic view of half of the street below the inn.
If you look outside, you can see rows of tightly closed houses.
There are no yards in any of them, and they look like houses built in a uniform style.
It is even tidier than the dormitory for outer disciples of Qingxuan Sect.
It was almost dark at this time, and there was no light on in any of the houses.
Only one or two rooms were lit in another lower-rise and cheaper inn not far from them on the east side of the town.
Most of them are monks from outside like them.
After hearing Su Fanzhen's words, several people walked to the window and looked down. It was just as Su Fanzhen said. The orcs were walking back and forth on the street and did not stop at any stall.
There were only a few guards scattered on the street, sitting lazily against the wall.
A bell rang three times, coming from somewhere.
Leng Zhuxin and his companions saw the orcs and their monsters leaving the street in a very orderly and quick manner.
Then came the vendors and the monks from Guajingzhou.
Soon the whole street was empty, and the lights in the low and neat houses at the back, which looked like dormitories, began to light up one after another.
Through the windows covered with a layer of window paper, you can vaguely see two people sitting opposite each other in each room.
He didn't seem to be talking and didn't make any movements. He just sat there with his head down for about two quarters of an hour, and then hung a red lantern outside the house.
When I returned to the house again, I blew out the lights.
The lights went out in unison, and all the rooms were immediately plunged into darkness, leaving only a red light outside the door illuminating the road outside.
The whole town became a little weird.
A gust of cold wind blew by, and Yin Tingting felt himself shivering. He rubbed the goose bumps on his arms vigorously.
"Why does this town look so strange? I feel like someone is always watching us."
