The staff here work very efficiently, and it didn't take long for Gao Yuan and his team to take their turn.
I saw Su Qing step forward to negotiate with the other party for a few words, then turned around and called a few people over, and handed the several space magic tools that were shaped like mountaineering bags delivered by the Service Hall to this man wearing a black deacon's robe.
A kind old man.
The latter held an object as big as a palm and looked like a magnifying glass, and inspected these spatial instruments one by one.
After confirming that it was correct, he took out a long jade token, put it together with the identity token that Su Qing handed over, played with it for a while, and then handed it back together.
With the acquisition of this crystal-white jade plaque, it also marked the official completion of Su Qing's team's escort mission.
After they return to Qingliang City, they can use this jade token to go to the Service Hall to receive 30 general merit points.
That's right, Gao Yuan and his team of five spent a full ten days, and the reward they got was 30 Qingliang City general merit points.
It can be exchanged for various items in the Qinwu Hall, or it can be exchanged for family merits from any family in the city at a reasonable price.
Of course, there are often casual cultivators who are eager to exchange items for purchase, and the transaction price ranges from dozens to hundreds of lower-level spiritual stones.
Although he had known this before, Gao Yuan still felt a little emotional when he actually saw this jade plaque.
Relying on their complete monopoly on Yuanjing Stone, these powerful forces can easily restrain all the Qi-training monks who aspire to advance to the Kaiyuan Realm.
Because for most ordinary monks, serving a major force is the most stable and reliable source of obtaining Yuanjing Stone!
The exchange price for Yuanjing Stone at each store is basically about 30,000 merit points, which requires a backpacker team to complete a thousand escort missions in a row to collect it!
…
When Su Qing, who was looking for someone to report the team's encounter in the gray desert, returned, Gao Yuan promptly proposed a plan to go to the city for a walk.
"What, you're not going to eat?"
Xin Lei was a little surprised after hearing Gao Yuan's words, and then kindly advised:
"Let me tell you, Brother Gao, this oasis base camp is no different from Qingliang City. Even ordinary food here is extremely expensive!
Fortunately, the service hall understands the hard work of us backpackers. There is no charge for meals and accommodation within two days after the mission is completed. You can go to eat with us first, and then go out for a walk after eating."
Hearing this, Gao Yuan smiled and said: "Thank you, Brother Xin, for reminding me. Of course I understand this truth. After all, what we are escorting this time is just ordinary food and water! Don't worry about eating. I have dry food on me, so I won't run away."
Go outside and waste spiritual stones."
Su Qing laughed and said:
"That's good, but there is a curfew in the base camp at night. Brother Gao, remember to come back early when you go out for a walk. The residence we are assigned this time is C71, don't forget it!"
After hearing this, Gao Yuan nodded quickly to indicate that he had taken note of it, then greeted everyone, and followed the flow of people and walked straight towards the huge open door opposite.
"What a weirdo!" Seeing Gao Yuan disappear from sight, Xin Lei muttered subconsciously, then turned to Su Qing and said:
"Boss, what do you think this brother Gao does? I feel like he is not the same kind of person as us!"
"It should be a descendant of some big force who is traveling!"
Su Qing thought for a moment and then a look of memory appeared on his face:
"When I was a child, I heard my master mention that some powerful forces like to let their disciples go out to practice and carve them into weapons with the help of secular swords.
Although Brother Gao looks young, he is not only excellent in cultivation, but also very proficient in magic. I think only those big forces can cultivate him."
Having said this, Su Qing paused and continued:
"But none of this is important. The reason why we were able to complete the commission safely this time was all thanks to Brother Gao's rescue. Otherwise, we would have fed those shadow demons long ago. How could we still stand here and talk?"
"That's true. I will certainly keep this sentiment in mind!" Xin Lei nodded seriously.
"Let's go and see how the food arranged by the Service Hall this time is. After eating dry food for ten days in a row, my mouth has no taste anymore!" Su Qing did not continue the topic and smiled instead.
"okay!"
"That's right!"
Her words immediately resonated, and everyone quickly walked towards the aisle in the corner of the hall.
…
Walking out of the huge door in the hall, Gao Yuan stood not far from the door, quietly looking at everything around him.
As he had guessed before, the entire oasis base camp is really round!
The city wall of this oasis city is not as simple as an ordinary ring of walls. To be precise, it should be a ring-shaped city tower that wraps the base camp.
At this time, in front of his sight was a stone road twenty to thirty meters wide, paved with countless blue stone bricks.
At this time, people were coming and going, making it a busy scene.
On both sides of the stone road, there are a row of shop-like buildings neatly arranged. Its architectural style is completely different from that of Qingliang City. The biggest feature is that it is short!
Although these buildings are all double-story structures, the height of each floor is only a little over two meters. Compared with the majestic and majestic shops in Qingliang City, which have overhanging eaves and corners, they look very cramped.
Gaoyuan's line of sight continued to extend forward from near to far, and he was soon attracted by a building in the distance.
It was a huge tower-shaped building, standing quietly at the end of the stone road.
Gao Yuan took the two-story shops nearby as a reference and compared it. This building, which is like a communication tower, is probably no less than forty meters high!
The most eye-catching thing is that there is a very large spherical blood-colored crystal inlaid on the top of this building.
According to visual inspection, the diameter of this crystal stone is probably no less than two meters!
At this time, there are countless dazzling blood-colored rays scattered in a planar shape from the center of this spherical crystal.
On the top of the ring-shaped tower outside the oasis, there seem to be countless light-receiving devices placed.
The blood-colored rays of light emitted from the center of the spherical crystal echoed with each other in cycles, forming a huge barrier with a diameter of ten miles.
Like a giant umbrella holding up the sky, it covers the sky of the entire oasis base camp, isolating all the chaotic evil energy that is everywhere in the gray desert!
No wonder there is no need to use the Demon Suppressing Talisman in the city!
Gao Yuan murmured in his heart, looking up at the sky dyed red by the barrier above his head, feeling indescribably shocked.
·
After spending nearly two hours, Gao Yuan finally went through the general layout of this oasis base camp.
According to his footsteps, the diameter of this oasis is about three to four kilometers, and its center is the huge tower-shaped building.
The cross-shaped streets that run through the four gates divide the city into four sector-shaped areas.
In addition to the shops run by major forces located along the cross streets, the fan-shaped area is also densely covered with various living places.
There are all kinds of hotels, restaurants, brothels, etc., it is like a small town!
Of course, as Xin Lei said, no matter what classification the things here have, they all have one distinctive feature, and that is they are expensive!
Just for those items that can be purchased in the outer city of Qingliang City, the prices here are several percent higher.
In addition, and more importantly, there are also some items here that cannot be bought in outer cities!
And these are the main reasons why Gao Yuan went out to hang out without even eating.
For him at this time, as long as it can help improve his strength, not to mention it is more expensive, even if it is twice as expensive, it is not a big problem.
Carrying more than 300 intermediate spirit stones on his body, Gao Yuan walked straight into a pill store.
