Chapter 1,101 The Ferryman(1/2)
Chapter 1104 Ferryman
The time of the fifth star ring is calculated by the small vortices formed by the flowing red aurora in the sky.
When the number of small auroral vortices that appear reaches a thousand, it is the year of the fifth star ring.
Then all the aurora vortices dissipate and become streamers, and a new year begins.
Now, in the red aurora in the sky, the 753rd vortex is forming.
In mid-air, Xu Qing raised his head and looked at this scene in the distance.
This was his thirtieth whirlpool day of galloping at full speed.
At his current speed, if it were placed on the Wanggu Continent, this time would be enough to fly back to Fenghai County from the human imperial capital.
But here, it is still at the southern edge of the fifth star ring.
The land is still a swamp.
The fifth star ring is too big.
"However, we finally reached our destination."
Xu Qing withdrew his gaze and looked at the earth.
In the distance of the swamp, stands a vast and majestic city.
The city is completely black and looks like a sleeping giant under the aurora.
It looks a bit dim and cannot be seen with the naked eye.
Its scope is so large that in Xu Qing's perception, it is comparable to an entire state.
And in the memory of the master's servant, this city... is actually just an ordinary small city in the southern part of the fifth star ring.
There are many cities like this in the south, and there are also many more impressive cities.
For example, the clan city where his family belongs is much larger than this.
As for other big cities, due to his status and cultivation level, the master servant has never seen them.
He has actually spent his whole life in this remote place in the south.
As for the family where the master belongs, Xu Qing also learned more about it through searching for souls and observing the outside world along the way.
Although this family controls a large area in the southern peripheral area, and its ancestor has reached the level of the Quasi-Immortal Emperor, it is not considered a dominant force.
There are still some similar families in the southern periphery.
"It seems that there are some differences in my previous judgment."
Xu Qing looked at the city ahead with thoughts in his heart.
Because he didn't understand the spiritual mine at first, after seeing that one of the guardians was actually the master, he thought deep down in his heart that the strongest person in the other family's family was the legendary Xia Xian.
This made him extremely vigilant.
But obviously, Xia Xian's level is not a common person anywhere.
"But we should be more cautious. This fifth star ring powerhouse is indeed like a cloud."
Xu Qing took a deep breath and swayed straight to the city ahead.
With Xu Qing's current cultivation level, he could change his body shape and aura, hide his cultivation level, transform into a servant of the master, and use his identity token to enter the city. The process would naturally go smoothly.
I haven't encountered any insurmountable obstacles.
So soon, Xu Qing's figure appeared in this huge city.
Looking around, there were countless people, and almost all of them were monks, with very few mortals.
There are even more shops.
Bursts of roaring sounds kept ringing in my ears.
Even with Xu Qing's knowledge, he was a little confused when he saw so many monks after entering the city.
He had never seen this scene before even in the human imperial city of Wanggu Continent.
There are just too many people.
And the feeling of strangeness also appeared in Xu Qing's heart unconsciously at this moment.
Human nature is like this. Not only does empty space make people feel strange, but conversely, a situation where there are countless people but no familiar people will also produce a strong sense of strangeness.
However, Xu Qing had traveled to too many places since he was a child, so he soon calmed down his thoughts, walked forward, and slowly blended into the crowd.
During this period, he was also observing passers-by around him.
Look for the differences between yourself and others in words and deeds, and make self-adjustments.
In this way, after half a whirlpool day passed, it was difficult for Xu Qing to tell the difference from the monks here, both in terms of accent and behavior.
And by understanding the discussions of the monks around him, he had more judgments about this fifth star ring and this city.
Although this information is fragmentary, it is enough to at least find the store you need.
At this moment, Xu Qing was standing outside a shop.
This shop is shaped like a three-story palace, with a luxurious appearance and a lot of monks coming and going.
There are rows of shelves inside, displaying different magic weapons. Each one has a seal on it and cannot be easily taken. However, there are jade slips next to it, describing the efficacy of the magic weapon.
What is sold here is exactly the magic weapon.
Walking on the first floor, Xu Qing's eyes fell on those magic weapons.
After staring for a moment, some emotion arose in my heart.
In Wanggu Continent, magic weapons are rare, and they are often the most precious treasure of a sect.
Such as the blood-colored eye treasure of the Seven Blood Pupils.
It is even rarer for it to spread outside, and even a fragment of a magic weapon is a precious thing.
The most popular ones are just magic weapons.
But here, they are everywhere.
"The fragmentation of the magic weapon in Wanggu Continent mainly comes from the gods."
Xu Qing recalls the past.
"If the remnants of Shanghuang hadn't appeared back then, then even if there was a gap between what Wanggu Continent looks like today and here, it wouldn't be so huge."
"In addition, there is another key reason why the development of Wanggu is not as good as here..."
"That's above Xia Xian. As far as Wang Gu is concerned, there is no way."
"But here, it is obvious that the fifth star ring found the way above Xia Xian a long time ago, and that is why it is prosperous today."
Xu Qing glanced over it and did not stay for too long. Although the magic weapon was good, it was no longer needed for his current level.
So very quickly, Xu Qing walked towards the second floor.
There he found what he needed.
That is the map of the fifth star ring.
"The value of items such as maps varies greatly. The more detailed they are, the more expensive they are."
On the second floor, there was a maid. After noticing Xu Qing staying next to a jade slip of the fifth star ring map, she walked over quickly and spoke with a smile.
"Senior, the map you see in front of you is very detailed for the southern region, but I would like to remind you, the map we sell is a rubbing version, and there are restrictions, and no further rubbings are allowed."
When Xu Qing heard this, he withdrew his eyes from the jade slip in front of him and spoke calmly.
"Just the south is not enough."
As soon as he spoke, the woman's eyes suddenly lit up and her smile was sweet.
"There are also higher-level maps. Our Immortal Palace has countless branches throughout the Fifth Star Ring, so for maps, it is naturally comprehensive.
"I wonder what level of map Senior needs?"
Xu Qing thought for a while, looked at the maid beside him, and spoke slowly.
"Including the entire fifth star ring, as well as all forces and geniuses, the more comprehensive the better."
Hearing this, the woman narrowed her eyes and looked at Xu Qing carefully, secretly thinking that this person was most likely going to participate in the Immortal City Hunting, and only this type of person would buy such a map.
Because what they have to face is not only the opponents in the local area, but also the entire fifth star ring.
Every one of these people is a murderer.
Thinking of this, the woman's attitude became more respectful.
"Our Immortal Treasure Palace has this type of map, but the price needs to be settled in immortal jade, and the quantity..."
As Xu Qing waved his hand, a hill of fairy jade appeared in front of him. Then he put it away and looked at the maid calmly.
The maid immediately spoke.
"Senior, please go up to the third floor."
