Chapter 651: Entering Your Land for the First Time
Danyang Prefecture has the smallest land area among the surrounding prefectures, with a radius of only a few million miles, which is similar to the Chaos Realm.
But this is the richest state among all the states in the Eastern Wasteland, and the entire state has only one owner - Danta.
Everything here is under the jurisdiction of Danta. No sect is strong enough to gain a foothold here, and no one dares to come here to make a living.
Danyang Prefecture is a paradise for alchemy cultivators. Most of the practitioners who come here are alchemy cultivators. The Danyang Pagoda can gather more than 80% of the world's alchemy cultivators. In addition to its abundant resources, it also has alchemy secrets that are regarded as treasures.
Only by joining the Alchemy Pagoda can one practice the alchemy techniques handed down from ancient times. Only by joining the Alchemy Pagoda can one reach the pinnacle of the alchemy path. This is the first thing every alchemist says to his disciples.
Because only by joining the Alchemy Pagoda, you will have the opportunity to enter the Alchemy Valley, the holy place in the mind of alchemy cultivators one day.
The Alchemy Valley represents the authority of alchemy in this world and is the most sacred force in the world. There is no alchemy cultivator who does not regard joining the Alchemy Valley as a lifelong goal.
Danyang Prefecture, the entire prefecture is a city, a city so large that it is almost boundless. There are dozens of roads up to a hundred miles wide for the carriages to rush through.
Even the monsters pulling the cart are actually innate-level monsters, because if there is a narrow road, the monsters cannot escape at all.
The main reason is that the city is so big that without sharp means of transportation, it would be very inconvenient to even have to walk for several days.
Moreover, tall magical beasts often fly past the entire city, but the people below are too accustomed to take a look at the behemoths in the sky.
This is Danta's sphere of influence. No one dares to be arrogant here. Once here, no matter how vicious a person is, he must act honestly.
Moreover, those flying monsters that can fly here have been registered in the Danta. On the neck of each flying monster, there is a huge sign, which is a pass. Only with this pass can you fly, otherwise you will be arrested by the Danta.
Killed by the guards.
The passes issued here are limited and not everyone is eligible to get them. Being able to ride a flying monster is a status symbol.
In the center of Danyang Prefecture, with a radius of thousands of miles, there is a high tower. The tower is extremely high, soaring into the sky, and its top cannot be seen from the outside.
This is the iconic building of the Alchemy Pagoda - the Qibao Exquisite Tower. With the Qibao Exquisite Tower as the center, there is a no-fly zone covering a radius of thousands of miles. No one is allowed to fly over it with a monster, otherwise both humans and monsters will be killed.
This area is the core area of the Alchemy Pagoda, also known as the Pagoda Area. Only alchemy cultivators are eligible to enter this area. For other practitioners, this is a restricted area.
In a restaurant outside the pagoda area, Long Chen sat in a corner, looking at the scenery outside and having a drink alone.
I have been here for three days, and I am almost familiar with this unfamiliar environment. I have also learned some relevant knowledge about Danta. Although it is not much, it should be enough.
After eating and drinking, Long Chen was going to find a place to rest and study how to sneak into the Danta.
Unknowingly, Long Chen walked into a remote alley. This alley was a bit shabby and very inconspicuous, which was exactly what Long Chen wanted.
"Sir, do you want to stay in the hotel? Our guest rooms are clean and the price is very cheap. Come in and take a look."
Long Chen was walking when suddenly a small door opened next to him. A little girl who looked to be thirteen or fourteen years old looked at Long Chen timidly. Those words just now were what she said.
The little girl is not pretty, she is very thin, and her face has an unhealthy yellowish complexion. It can be seen at a glance that this little girl is somewhat malnourished, but her eyes are very flexible and as clear as water, which makes people feel pity for her.
"You have memorized this passage for a long time, right?" Long Chen looked at the little girl and smiled.
The little girl saw someone coming, so she came out bravely, but when she saw the slightly drooped corners of Long Chen's eyes and the evil smile on his face, he couldn't help but have a flash of panic in his eyes.
"I...I..." The little girl pinched the corner of her clothes and did not dare to speak.
Long Chen couldn't help laughing. It seemed that his face was really good. Even the children were scared:
"Don't be afraid, I'm not a good person, but I'm not a bad person either."
Long Chen's voice did not change, it was still so magnetic, which made the little girl's heart relax slightly:
"Sir, do you want to stay in the hotel? Our guest rooms are clean and the price is very cheap. Come in and have a look!" the little girl said again, with a hint of hope in her eyes.
"Yes, yes, there has been progress. Now your speech is not as stiff as before, and it is much smoother.
Just because of your persistence and progress, okay, then I'll come in and take a look, but I'm going to say something ugly first, if you're not satisfied, I won't stop." Long Chen said with a smile.
"Hmm, thank you, sir, please come in quickly." The little girl was overjoyed and hurriedly led the way.
Long Chen entered the gate and took a look. What kind of inn was this? It was clearly a farmyard with a two-story wooden house. He didn't even have time to sort out some of the farm tools in the yard. Long Chen came from behind a wooden board.
I saw half of the hoe exposed and a sickle handle.
But I have to say that it was tidied up here. After entering the house and going up to the second floor, the little girl opened the door of a room. There was a bed inside, and then there was nothing more. There was not even a desk, which was quite simple.
Clearly.
The bedding on the bed was neatly laid out. The bedding was not brand new, but it was cleaned very clean. Moreover, Long Chen could smell the scent of the sun. The bedding must have been exposed to the sun during the day, which felt very good.
Looking out from the small window, you can actually see a small lake with boats floating in the water, which is a very good picture.
"Sir, please take a look and see if you are satisfied with it. If you are dissatisfied with anything, just tell me and I will try my best to help you deal with it." The little girl said with some anxiety.
"Not bad, simple and clear, the scenery is pleasant, and you can count the stars while lying on the bed," Long Chen nodded.
"oops"
The little girl followed Long Chen's gaze and couldn't help but blush. There was a hole the size of a plate on the roof, which she hadn't noticed before.
"Sir, please wait a moment. I'll go up and make some repairs." As the little girl spoke, she was about to get the ladder.
"Forget it, there won't be any rain in the next few days. This panoramic sunroof is not bad, but it's blocked and it makes the scenery a little bit bad." Long Chen shook his head.
"Sir, you... are so interesting." Seeing that Long Chen said it was funny, the little girl couldn't help but relax a lot and became less nervous.
"Well, what's the price of such an upper room?" Long Chen asked.
A look of embarrassment immediately appeared on the little girl's face. After hesitating for a long time, she said with some anxiety: "Look... one silver coin a day... is that okay?"
"One silver coin a day?" Long Chen frowned.
"Ah, if you think it's expensive, you can bargain." When the little girl saw Long Chen frowning, she couldn't help being frightened and said hurriedly, fearing that Long Chen would leave.
"In Danyang Prefecture, where every inch of land is precious, this price is too cheap," Long Chen couldn't help but laugh.
Hearing that Long Chen didn't find it too expensive, the little girl immediately showed a happy look. When Long Chen said this, he couldn't help but said sadly:
"This is our own house. Grandpa saved his money for many years before buying this house. We are going to transform it into an inn, hoping to make some money.
Grandpa is now old and has eye problems, so he cannot go out to work. I hope that I can run this inn well and be able to support grandpa. Hehe, you are the first guest of our inn."
After talking about it, the little girl couldn't help but look happy. It was obvious that Long Chen's move in made her very happy.
"Xiao Cui, why don't you ask the guest to come down for dinner?" Suddenly an old voice came from downstairs.
"Come on, come on, let's go down and eat"
Long Chen followed the little girl downstairs and saw an old man standing by the table, listening carefully. He turned out to be a blind man.
"It's expensive for a small shop owner to have a simple meal, so please don't dislike it." The old man bowed to Long Chen, and his conversation was very elegant.
"My husband, you are too polite. There is no distinction between high and low people, and there is no distinction between rice and rice. It is shameless to bother you."
Long Chen was a little polite and sat down. The dishes were a few vegetables, no meat, and the soup was cabbage and tofu soup, which tasted pretty good.
Long Chen discovered that when the little girl served him soup, he had a lot of tofu, but when he served him soup, it was all green vegetables. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart, no matter how prosperous the capital is, there are still people living at the bottom.
, struggling on the line of food and clothing.
"It turns out that I'm not from Danyang Prefecture. I wonder if I'm here to do business or to visit relatives?"
During the meal, everyone had a conversation and found that Long Chen was approachable. The old man couldn't help but inquired with some curiosity.
"Hehe, I'm going to come here to make a living, and I'm going to go out to find something to do and make some money tomorrow." Long Chen said with a smile.
"Brother, is one silver coin that day too expensive for you? Otherwise, you can stay with us first, and then give it to us when you have money." The little girl said, now that she was familiar with it, she started
Changed his mind.
"Hahaha, these are just small amounts of money. Don't worry, my current employer is very fat. When the time comes, I will take a share and build a big inn for you. Xiaocui, you will be the boss," Long Chen laughed.
Although the grandfather and grandson in front of him lived an extremely poor life, they were kind-hearted and did not lose their true intentions. Long Chen had not met such a simple person for a long time.
"Xiao Cui, starting tomorrow, you go buy more wine and meat. Brother is greedy and will not be happy with anything." Long Chen directly threw a money bag to Xiao Cui. There were more than a hundred gold coins in it. Long Chen had not spent this kind of money for a long time.
Something.
"Oh my God, so much?" Xiao Cui was shocked. She had never seen so much money before. She only paid a few dozen gold coins to buy this small courtyard.
Long Chen chuckled. The child was too thin and was still growing. He needed more nutrition. Long Chen returned to his room and had a good sleep. Early the next morning, he went directly to the pagoda area to get something done.
