Although Shangguan Yan was looking forward to it, Xia Linglan would cover Lu Yang's eyes tonight and let her kiss her. But if she said it publicly, she still couldn't bear it!
After all, Shangguan Yan was still a little girl without any experience in love. Taking the initiative to kiss Lu Yang like that last night had made her so embarrassed that she didn't dare to talk to Lu Yang all night.
If Lu Yang knew about it, she would also want Xia Linglan to blindfold Lu Yang and let her kiss her. Shangguan Yan would be too shy to see anyone!
Seeing Shangguan Yan's appearance, Lu Yang knew that she was shy, so he changed the topic.
"Xiaoyan, I think the evil spirit in Black Dragon Town is so weak that it can almost be ignored. Ordinary people should be able to live here, right?"
Shangguan Yan nodded.
"Yes! There are also some migrant workers here. However, these people are usually strictly selected by the city lord. Moreover, they can only work in the city lord's company and cannot move around at will."
Lu Yang nodded.
"I understand. It's roughly the same as our domestic companies sending employees to work in some war-torn countries overseas. Right?"
Shangguan Yan nodded.
"Yes, just like them. However, these people basically come here not for money, but to learn the art of refining Qi. Therefore, those who can be selected by the city lord to work in Black Dragon Town are usually from second- and third-tier cities.
A disciple of the family.
Some of these people would rather come here to work and learn Qi refining skills for the long-term development of their families.
There are also some who are forced by their elders to practice and study.”
When Lu Yang heard what Shangguan Yan said, he couldn't help but think of the time when his seven senior sisters came to their Jiufeng Mountain to study. Lu Yang had never understood before why his seven senior sisters came to their Jiufeng Mountain even though one family was richer than the other.
It's hard to live in a place like Fengshan.
Now after hearing what Shangguan Yan said, Lu Yang understood immediately.
Xia Linglan also came over at this time.
"Since we have contact with the outside world, why is it still so backward? Looking at this street, it is simply not as good as the country in the 1980s. In addition to small restaurants, there are small hotels and grocery stores on the street.
Not to mention shopping malls and supermarkets, there is not even a two-story hotel. Isn’t this a bit unreasonable?”
Shangguan Yan hurriedly explained to Xia Linglan.
"Sister, although the evil spirit in this place is very light and can allow normal people to live, the evil energy within a hundred miles around here is very strong and strange beasts are rampant. Even a master of the White Dragon Realm can only travel twenty or thirty miles in a day.
.Therefore, it is extremely costly to bring in materials from outside.
It’s not easy for Heilong Town to develop into what it is now!”
While talking, the three of them found a small restaurant and prepared to order a few bowls of noodles.
It's not that they don't want to eat good food, but that there really isn't anything good to eat in this place. This noodle shop is considered a high-end restaurant in the surrounding area.
When he saw the price list, a bowl of noodles cost hundreds of thousands, and Lu Yang couldn't help but be shocked.
"Xiaoyan, did they write the price wrong? Why does a bowl of noodles cost hundreds of thousands?"
Shangguan Yan shook his head.
"That's right. Their Heilong Town has a radius of hundreds of miles, and it is a place shrouded in strong evil spirits. If outside materials want to come in, they can only be transported by a special helicopter.
Moreover, even if you use such a sky-high price special helicopter, you still need at least a third-level magic weapon and a Dragon Realm master to guard the formation to ensure safety.
Think about it, how high the cost is!
Even if they sell it 10,000 times more expensive than outside, the food here is still very popular.
Those masters of the Taoist and Demonic factions who want to enter the depths of the Qinling Mountains in search of stronger Qi skills regard this place as the most important place to replenish supplies."
While Shangguan Yan was talking to Lu Yang, Xia Linglan had already chosen a table by the window in the store and sat down.
But as soon as Xia Linglan sat down, she felt someone looking at her outside the door.
Xia Linglan turned her head and looked out the door.
With just this glance, Xia Linglan suddenly felt her heartbeat speed up!
I saw an elegant middle-aged woman sitting on the bench outside the door. The middle-aged woman was wearing a set of Hanfu in the style of the Wei and Jin Dynasties, with a long cyan skirt tied under the white gauze.
She has a feminine temperament and is elegant, but her specific age cannot be discerned.
Xia Linglan was suddenly excited not because of this woman's temperament, but because of her appearance.
This woman actually looks exactly like her mother in the photo!
Except for the difference in clothes, this woman is almost the same as her mother looked in the photo twenty years ago.
Xia Linglan suddenly shouted excitedly to Lu Yang.
"Xiaoyang, come quickly."
Lu Yang and Shangguan Yan heard Xia Linglan's shouting and ran over together.
"What's wrong, Lanlan."
Xia Linglan quickly pointed toward the door.
But when Xia Linglan pointed at her, she realized that the woman who looked exactly like her mother had disappeared.
There was no one on the bench outside the house, as if the woman had never been there.
Xia Linglan hurried to the door, but still found nothing.
Xia Linglan was immediately frustrated.
Lu Yang and Shangguan Yan also chased out.
"What's wrong, Sister Xia?"
Shangguan Yan saw Xia Linglan's abnormal behavior and couldn't help but ask.
Xia Linglan looked at Lu Yang.
"Xiaoyang, it's true that I told you that I just saw my mother. Do you believe it?"
Lu Yang and Shangguan Yan looked at each other.
"Are you sure that person is Aunt Lu?"
Xia Linglan shook her head.
"I don't know either. But she looks almost exactly like my mother when she was young."
When Xia Linglan said this, she suddenly thought of something and immediately rushed to the fat owner of the noodle shop.
"Boss, have you seen this person?"
Xia Linglan said, hurriedly taking out her mobile phone and clicking on some photos of her mother when she was young.
The fat noodle shop owner just glanced at it and nodded immediately.
"I know you! This woman often comes to our place to eat noodles recently."
When Xia Linglan heard what her boss said, she was immediately overjoyed.
"Then, do you know where she lives?"
The noodle shop owner glanced at Xia Linglan.
"Little sister, there is a fee for asking for information from us."
Lu Yang stepped forward.
"How much does it cost?"
The boss glanced at Lu Yang.
"The kind of information you are asking for requires at least a second-level spiritual grass."
When Shangguan Yan heard the price, he immediately screamed.
"Boss, you are too deceptive! Just a few words and you want a second-level spiritual grass from us?"
The fat boss rolled his eyes.
"Then it's up to you!"
"If you don't want to, or can't afford the magic grass, you can exchange it with materials."
The fat boss said and glanced at the bottle of beer that Lu Yang put on the table.
"Is that beer?"
Lu Yang nodded.
"Yes! Do you want to change your career with this?"
Lu Yang said casually.
A second-grade spiritual grass is more than ten times more valuable than a century-old wild ginseng, and Lu Yang's bottle of beer costs less than ten yuan. Naturally, Lu Yang doesn't think that the boss will really agree to him exchanging beer for it.
.
He just said it casually.
Unexpectedly, when the fat boss heard Lu Yang's words, his fat face showed excitement.
"No problem! If you exchange it for beer, I won't cheat you. Ten bottles of beer are worth one second-level spiritual grass. Give me ten bottles of beer, and I will tell you the news right away."
Lu Yang was stunned for a moment, thinking he heard wrongly.
If the boss really agreed that he could exchange ten bottles of beer for one second-level spiritual grass, wouldn't that mean he was asking Lu Yang to exchange ten bottles of beer for ten century-old wild ginsengs!
