After Su Xing watched the man go away, he pulled off the clothes of a civilian next to him and said in a low voice: "My dear friend, may I ask who the heavenly being who passed by just now is?"

The civilian was stunned when he heard this.

He did not answer Su Xing immediately, but asked: "Are you not from here?"

In the Black City, outsiders like Su Xing don't seem to be uncommon.

Before Su Xing could speak, the civilian said again: "If I guessed correctly, you should have fallen from the hole, right?"

this....

Seeing that the other party's tone was calm and there was no expression of surprise, Su Xing said assuredly: "Yes, I did fall from the ground... May I ask, what is this place?"

"Our place is called Black City." The villager said, "Speaking of which, you are really lucky that you didn't encounter 'Dragon Sand Roll' along the way..."

Different from Moratha.

This black city located deep in the desert underground is also shrouded in a spiritual light array, but it has countless exits.

The cave Su Xing was forced to jump into to avoid the 'dragon sand scroll' was one of the many exits.

The main reason why Black City did not seal the spiritual light array was because the people in Heaven were not worried about people and monks escaping.

The environment on the surface above the Black City is so harsh that ordinary people cannot go very far and will die from dehydration and high temperature.

besides.

There is also a strange creature called "Dragon Sand Scroll" in the desert, which often appears.

Regardless of whether they are qi-training or foundation-building monks, anyone who encounters the 'Dragon Sand Scroll' will almost never survive.

Only a few people who are lucky enough not to encounter the 'Dragon Sand Scroll' can come to this black city by accident.

Or leave the black city.

Su Xing had already experienced how harsh the environment on the surface of Black City was, and how difficult it was to deal with the 'Dragon Sand Scroll'.

He was not very interested in this and just asked: "Brother, you have said so much, but you still haven't told me the origin of the person that day."

In order to make the other party more cooperative, Su Xing also took out several spiritual coins from his pocket and handed them to the other party while asking.

After the latter received the spirit coin, his attitude was obviously more positive: "I heard what other people in the city said, but it may not be accurate."

"Just say it."

"The gods in this black city seem to be from heaven."

"From heaven?"

Su Xing was shocked when he heard this and said in confusion: "I see that the person just now obviously has no cultivation, how could he come from the sky?"

"They are not from heaven." The commoner corrected: "It is said that these heavenly beings are descendants of high-ranking people in heaven."

In the world of cultivating immortals, not everyone has the qualifications to cultivate immortals.

In order to embark on the road of cultivating immortals, the first thing monks need to possess is a 'Purple Mansion' that can accommodate spiritual power.

Generally speaking, on average, only one out of every ten people will own a Zifu.

And among the people who own Zifu, those who can successfully sense Tao spiritual power are even rarer.

Mortals in the lower world are like this.

Then the heaven in the upper world must be no exception.

Therefore, the offspring born to immortals may have a respected status and noble status, but they may not necessarily have the qualifications to become immortals.

These people who are unable to practice will be sent to the lower world by heaven. Over time, they will form the current group of "celestial beings".

No one can give a definite answer to whether the heavenly beings are the descendants of the higher-ups in heaven.

After all, no one in heaven has appeared in the lower world for a long time.

But some news is known to everyone in the Black City:

First, there is no lifespan countdown on the chest of a deity, and it is not affected by the lifespan, nor can it be extended by swallowing lifespan medicine.

Secondly, all celestial beings cannot practice cultivation, and will not be killed by 'deviant' monsters or harmed by any spells.

But he is afraid of swords.

Thirdly, all devas can only live to be 70 years old.

After hearing this, Su Xing finally had a rough understanding of the so-called 'celestial beings'.

He thought of the scene where the fat man was riding in a wooden sedan.

So he asked: "Since no one can say for sure whether the heavenly beings are descendants of the high-ranking people in heaven, why do everyone still treat them with respect?"

"This is the order from the Lord of Black City."

The commoner said: "Anyone who offends the gods will be wanted by the Black City Lord's Palace and hunted down by the monks in the entire Black City."

Good guy!

Hearing this answer, Su Xing was not surprised.

If the heavenly beings are really the descendants of high-level people in the heavenly court, then it is reasonable that the heavenly court would take care of them secretly and even give the heavenly beings some privileges.

Su Xing continued: "May I ask, are there any vacant houses or other places in this black city where people can live?"

"houses?"

The civilian wondered: "There aren't many empty houses in this black city, aren't there? As long as you have enough 'spiritual light talismans', you can live wherever you want."

This world is full of ghosts and ghosts.

And no matter whether it is on the ground, in the air, or even underground, you can see the figures of weird people, and this black city is no exception.

In the Black City, there is a strange creature that can ignore the terrain and freely travel through the walls and underground.

This kind of strange thing is called "Shadow Monster".

Shadow monsters are a type of monster that does not have an entity of its own.

They will actively attack humans and cannot be completely killed. The only way to deal with shadow monsters is to temporarily disperse them with a light source.

Therefore, if a person wants to survive in the Black City, the first thing he must do is not buy a house in the city.

Instead, you have to buy an ‘Aura of Spiritual Light’ first.

Although torches and wood can also be used for lighting, lighting an open flame for lighting consumes a lot of money, and few people do this.

In the black city.

The 'Spiritual Light Talisman' is no less useful to mortals than the life-span medicine is to monks.

In order to avoid being attacked by shadow monsters and to buy the "Aura of Spiritual Light", mortals have to work hard in the black city and work as cattle and horses for the senior officials.

In order to buy life-span medicine and extend their lifespan, the monks also have to work day and night in the Black City.

Only heavenly beings and a few high-level monks do not have to run around for a living...

on the street.

After listening to the other party's explanation, Su Xing couldn't help but touch the storage bag at his waist.

The 'spiritual light talisman' that the common people just mentioned is actually a very common talisman specially used by monks for lighting.

Su Xing always has some in his storage bag, so he doesn't need to worry about the light source in the past few days.

What he needs to do now is to find a more secluded residence and settle down first.

Then find a way to get in touch with the Qi Practitioners and sell them the life-span medicine you refined yourself so that you can absorb more 'black threads'.

As for how to get in touch with monks in the Qi training period...

Thinking of this, Su Xing said to the commoner: "Finally, let me ask you a question. If we monks are looking for some work, where should we go?"

"Go to the construction site."

Seeing Su Xing's confused look, the civilian explained: "There is a spirit stone mine in Black City. Almost all the monks in the city work there. As long as you go there, you will definitely be able to stay."

Spirit stone veins?

After hearing these four words, Su Xing's eyes showed a deep thought.

Only a very small number of the spiritual light arrays in this world were built by powerful monks.

And most of them are the handiwork of heaven.

There must be some reason why Heaven would put great effort into setting up the spiritual light array deep underground in this desert.

But now it seems that the reason why Heavenly Court built the Black City underground is probably because of the spirit stone vein.

Thinking of this, Su Xing couldn't help but feel hot in his heart.

As the saying goes, a horse will not be fat without night grass, and a man will not be rich without windfall.

Rather than secretly selling longevity medicine, you can slowly accumulate wealth.

Just go grab it... ah no, just grab a wave of spirit stones from the spirit stone veins. It's obviously faster.

Su Xing had no interest in robbing the poor.

But if it were to plunder the wealth that belonged to Heaven, then Su Xing would be very interested.
