Chapter 241 The City That Never Sleeps and the Spirit Explosion
In the northeast of the southern country, in a city on the west side of the south of Qingming Kingdom, a secret teleportation array in the center of the city beeps violently.
A guard next to him immediately woke up, took out a jade plate the size of a palm and looked carefully.
"This spirit explosion has been starting for so long, why is there still someone teleporting it?" The guard was a little surprised.
After a wave of spiritual power fluctuations, Zhuang Yu appeared in the teleportation array.
At this moment, his face was a little pale and he was not very comfortable with long-distance teleportation.
The guard looked at the jade plate in his hand, and then used his spiritual sense to detect the fluctuations of the spiritual power flow on Zhuang Yu's body, and his face relaxed a little.
"At Xiaqingwumen Divine Medicine Valley Gu Yun, I was ordered to come here. This is a token. Please check it out!"
Zhuang Yu smiled slightly, took out the token and handed it to the guard opposite him.
The guard glanced at Zhuang Yu's token and his face finally relaxed completely. At the same time, as soon as the spell came out, several runes flew out of the jade plate on his hand and slowly flew into Zhuang Yu's token.
"Fellow Taoist please collect your token. I have already added the spiritual guidance for you. You can move freely in the city, but the time limit is only three days. If it exceeds three days, please go to the Deacon Hall in the city to handle the application matters in person!"
"Thank you, fellow Taoist!" Zhuang Yu bowed slightly.
After that, he didn't say much, put away the token, pushed open the door of the secret room and walked out.
After passing through layers of levels and verifying the identity token twice during this period, Zhuang Yu completely walked out of the secret teleportation array underground.
As soon as he showed up, his face changed slightly, and he was a little surprised.
"So prosperous!"
Zhuang Yu originally thought that most cities on the border were more desolate than those in the central area, but the city was bustling and bustling, with monks in various strange clothes flowing endlessly, and the surrounding buildings were also very stylish, with tall buildings standing in hand.
After exploring around with his spiritual consciousness, his face became even more shocked.
This city has a very wide range and the restrictions are extremely strong, which is slightly stronger than the inner city of the dealer.
Such a large-scale city is placed on the border, probably created by the forces of the Southern Kingdom and the Qingming Kingdom.
As if confirming Zhuang Yu's guess, the three monks walked over from his eyes.
Looking at the mark on the long gown, it is the unique symbol of the dealer's disciples.
"This is the sign of the dealer guard!"
Zhuang Yu recognized the mark on his clothes at a glance. If it weren't for the guards, he wouldn't have worn this kind of long gown with obvious marks.
The other party was afraid that it was deliberately exposed to the purpose of promoting his identity as a guard.
As if he felt Zhuang Yu's gaze, a guard monk walking in front turned his head in confusion and looked.
Zhuang Yu smiled indifferently and turned around and left.
Seeing this, the guard frowned and walked away quickly.
"Deacon Palace? Found!"
After walking for a long time, Zhuang Yu finally found the city's deacon hall in the north direction of the city.
After preparing the token, Zhuang Yu calmed down and walked towards the gate of the Deacon Hall.
However, before taking two steps, a sharp murderous aura rushed over.
Zhuang Yu frowned, his whole body flashed slightly with purple light, and his whole body moved back a few steps out of thin air.
As soon as he stood firm, he saw a triangular monster blade flying over in front of him, cutting a monk in black robe who had just stood on his left in half.
The black-robed monk didn't even scream, but turned into ashes in a ball of blue fire.
The outline of a monster-shaped beast struggled a little in the blue fire for a few times, and then disappeared.
"The spiritual power of the Nether Ghost Sect? From the Demonic Cultivation Line!" Zhuang Yu was a little surprised.
A team of patrols in armor walked over quickly. The monk in charge looked coldly at the black-robed monk who had turned into ashes, with an extremely disgusting expression.
"Forgive me, fellow Taoist, the remnants of the Nether Ghost Sect are trying to get into the city. Please be careful recently, those lunatics have started to move again!"
The guard in charge apologized to Zhuang Yu, and then quickly left with his team members.
Zhuang Yu looked at the ashes on the ground in surprise and frowned.
In an instant, his face returned to normal, he grabbed the token in his hand, and walked towards the Deacon Hall.
"At Xiaqing Wumen Divine Medicine Valley Gu Yun, I came here to perform tasks, in exchange for some local introductions of humanities and customs and jade slips on geographical icons. I would like to ask my friends for help and guidance!"
Zhuang Yu said as he handed over the token in his hand.
A green light flashed slightly on the token, and several runes appeared and disappeared.
A spiritual-picking monk at the door was stunned and looked at the runes flashing in Zhuang Yu's token. His expression changed slightly. After bowing, he respectfully said: "Senior welcome to our never-sleeping city. Please come with me. The place where you buy such jade slips is on the far right!"
As he said that, he bowed and led Zhuang Yu in.
An hour later, Zhuang Yu walked out of the Deacon Hall with a frown.
"It's really bad luck!"
Zhuang Yu shook his head with a wry smile.
This city is called the City of Never Sleeping. As the name suggests, it means that there will be no night in this city within a radius of about ten miles.
Of course, it is not that there is no alternation of sun and moon here.
But because this city was built on an extremely special spiritual ore vein.
Half the time of year, the spiritual power in this spiritual ore vein will explode once.
The explosion lasted for about half a year. During this period, due to the restlessness and collision of spiritual power, the surrounding area will be shining with the spiritual light generated by the friction of spiritual power, and it is always like daytime, so it has the title of City of Never Sleeping.
The most distressing thing is that once the spiritual power explosions are generated, the spiritual explosions in the first three months will be extremely frequent and dangerous, so the city needs to be closed down in the first three months.
Only after the next three months, the power of the spiritual explosion has gradually weakened and the threat to cultivators above the spiritual vein stage has been greatly reduced, then the blockade will be unlocked.
Only then can monks in the city leave the city and monks outside the city enter the city.
But Zhuang Yu had just asked the guards in the Deacon Hall that the spiritual power explosion had just happened less than a month. According to previous habits, it would take at least two months to barely leave the city. Otherwise, if you encounter a spiritual explosion vortex, you may be at risk of death.
Helplessly, Zhuang Yu had to reveal the token and spent the extremely expensive spirit stone to rent a relatively better quiet room as a temporary retreat.
Now Zhuang Yu understands that the various expenses here are much greater than those in other cities.
Moreover, the reason why so many monks are wandering around the city is probably because the spirit explosion explodes at this time and cannot leave the city.
Of course, this city has a superior geographical location, and various spiritual objects in the world will emerge and be traded one after another.
After all, under normal circumstances, if there is no war in the place where the two countries intersect, it will form a huge trading city.
Judging from the situation here, the City of Never Sleep should be an important trading hub between the South Country and the Qingming Kingdom.
After thinking about it, I thought about it again and again. Although I was a little depressed, I couldn't leave the city rashly. Zhuang Yu had to put away the token and walk towards the retreat.
