Chapter 54 Xuanyuan City
Li Ji walked into Xuanyuan City with a pilgrimage mood. The buildings here are made of a whole piece of huge bluestone, just like the stone mountain it leans on, full of the cold and hard feeling of cutting swords and axes, hard, heavy and deep, which is Li Ji's impression of this city.
Xuanyuan City is a big city, of course it is not comparable to Gukou Town, which has only been established for five hundred years. It has a population of hundreds of thousands, and the residents have all kinds of connections with the Xuanyuan Sword Sect. The city's residential areas are not complicated, built on the mountain and surrounded by it. There are all kinds of shops, which is not much different from ordinary mortal cities, but there are many shops selling Taoist and Dharma supplies.
There are many pedestrians on the street who have cultivation, and there are even more casual cultivators, but in a well-ordered manner. I think no one dares to cause trouble here in the name of sword cultivator.
The first lesson Li Ji learned here was dining. The restaurant was a small and inconspicuous place to find. He didn't come here to enjoy life. According to his usual ordering routine, he asked the guy to deliver a few special foods. As a result, he only had four dishes. At the end of the checkout, he actually asked him to pay ten taels of gold...
"Are you robbing money? I have been to many places in the continent, but I have never seen such an expensive restaurant. Could it be that I bullyed my life and killed me?" Li Ji suppressed his temper, but was not willing to be bullied so much.
The guy smiled and glanced at Li Ji, "Are the guest newly entered the city? I'm afraid he doesn't know the rules of Xuanyuan City. He is honest in the store and is always a good person. If he asks for a lot of prices, he will be disciplined by the deacon in the city, but he will not be able to be the guest official said..."
"How do you say it?" Li Ji was just here and had to ask clearly.
"Xuanyuan City does not stop outsiders from entering. This is the only one among all the blessed lands in the Northern Region. But then again, if there is no means, how could my Xuanyuan City be just a few hundred thousand people now? I'm afraid it's millions or tens of millions, right?" The guy smiled proudly, obviously he looked down on the foreigner in front of him. He took advantage of the lack of customers in the store and taught him a good idea. "Who do you want to hide in Xuanyuan City for stability? If you don't have to get stuck with the super high cost of living, it's a great deal? By the way, the shop only has one or two taels of gold, and nine of them have to be handed over to the deacons of Xuanyuan City..."
"..." Li Ji was silent. He originally thought that the town of Xinyuegukou was already dark enough, but he didn't expect to compare with Xuanyuan, but he was a witch.
"Not to mention eating, it's other expenses, so how can I get cheaper? The guest doesn't believe it. If you wait until you look for the inn, you will know that what I said is not false..." The guy said proudly.
"So, in this Xuanyuan year, one or two thousand taels of gold is not enough? Who can live here..." Li Ji complained in his heart. His thief's rings were only six or seven thousand taels of gold. He thought it was a huge sum of money, but he didn't know that it was nothing in Xuanyuan.
"It's because you can't afford to eat or live. You said that you have so much gold, so where can you live happily in the mortal world? Just because Xuanyuan Xun is uneasy, who will blame him? Of course, you can have a spirit stone, just like this meal, a low-level spirit stone is enough..." The guy smiled.
"What if you buy a house and rent a house? Is there a channel?" Li Ji didn't take the word of the spirit stone, and he was making a joke. The spirit stone he finally got from Xinyue was pointed at the formation and practiced. How could he use it on these trivial matters in life?
The guy smiled hurriedly, "Of course, it's not expensive, but hehe, first of all, you need an introduction to the immortal chief of the Xuanyuan Sword Sect or a guarantee from the local residents of Xuanyuan City. What are the guest officials?"
Li Ji was worried and lazy to take care of the rapist, so he hurried to find a suitable residence and found many inns. As the mate said, they were extremely expensive. In the end, they found a cheap one to live in. It was just a room and he also asked him for eight taels of gold a night.
By the evening, Li Ji took out all the things in the thief's ring and carefully counted the property. The total amount of gold was more than 6,400 taels of silver. I would not mention a lot of silver. I guess there are not as good as copper in the mortal world. There are quite a few spirit stones, including 11 top-grade spirit stones, 89 top-grade spirit stones, 314 middle-grade spirit stones, and 112 lower-grade spirit stones. However, many of these spirit stones are used second-hand goods, and their value is much lower.
There is no way out, and Li Ji calmed down and decided to go out tomorrow to find out if there is any job that can be settled temporarily. He has arrived in this place, and there is no reason to give up. The rare prices in Xuanyuan City seem unreasonable, but if you think about it carefully, you may have to do it, otherwise the expansion of this city would have to drag this top sword sect to death.
Building the foundation before the age of 30 is the most basic condition for joining the Xuanyuan Sword Sect. Li Ji came for this reason. He needed to find a suitable place. The structure is still a theoretical magic circle. That is when he soared into the sky.
In the evening, Li Ji tried to operate the "Huangting Neijing Sutra" for the first time after half a year. As he expected, even if the spiritual energy density of Xuanyuan City is twice that of Zhongtiao Mountain, his practice still did not make much progress. As for "The First Moon Qi Jue", he did not even try it. At this point, he only had one road in Huashan. He either practiced the most difficult Huangting Sutra or returned to the world to have a free and easy life. He practiced the First Moon Qi Jue, which was neither up nor down, and became a mediocre monk. Then why did he come to Xuanyuan? Isn't it better to find a small sect to join on the road?
In the next ten days, Li Ji went out early and came back late, and ran around the streets and alleys of Xuanyuan City just to find a job that can live in and have some income. Unfortunately, Xuanyuan City does not lack such a martial artist as him who is stupid but does not even have magic power. It seems that it is the consensus of all the indigenous people of Xuanyuan City. This has inspired Li Ji's rebellious mentality, and I don't believe it. I have hands, feet and minds, and I can't make it here? Li Ji said ruthlessly.
Li Ji continued to search without being discouraged and tried his best to save food and clothing. It is hard to imagine that since time traveling, although he has been bumpy, he has never been worried about food and accommodation. Now he will be petty for a cheaper meal. If it weren't forbidden to sleep on the ground in Xuanyuan City, he would have been sleeping on the streets.
