Reverend Insanity

Fang Yuan paid two hundred yuan stones and entered the inner city with Bai Ningbing.

Although the inner city is built in the mountains, the streets are wide enough for ten carriages to travel side by side.

As soon as they entered here, the flow of people suddenly decreased, leaving less than half of the outer city.

But Gu Masters can be seen everywhere, with first-level Gu Masters everywhere, second-level Gu Masters mixed in with them, and occasionally one or two third-level Gu Masters.

There are very few ordinary mortals. After all, to enter here, each person needs one hundred yuan stones. Even if many Gu masters have personal servants to serve them, they are not willing to spend the unjust money.

The lighting in the inner city generally uses a kind of charcoal stone.

Foal charcoal burns for a long time and produces no smoke. If Fang and Bai walked an average of a hundred steps, they would see a hole dug in the wall, with a pile of coals burning inside.

Although the heat emitted by the charcoal stones is not high, so many charcoals continue to burn, which still makes the air in the inner city hotter and dryer.

Unlike the outer city, there are all kinds of buildings and it's very messy. The buildings here have been unified in structure, have similar shapes, and are all made of heat-resistant red rock.

Various branch roads extend from both sides of the street.

At the same time, every five hundred steps on the street, a huge column will appear.

A spiral stone staircase is shaped on the surface of the column, extending upward around the column. There are guardrails on the outside of the stone staircase.

Through the stone stairs, people can go to the upper level or the lower level of the street.

The inner city is not a city in the ordinary sense, but three-dimensional. From top to bottom, there are countless streets and houses, connected to each other in all directions.

Fang Yuan and Bai Ningbing walked all the way into the mountain, but this was not their destination yet.

At some point another pass appears.

The Gu Master in the Handle has higher cultivation and tighter defense.

"Please stop there, do you have any tokens?" The guard stopped Fang Bai and the other two.

Merchants issue tokens with various permissions to people with different identities.

"This is our first time here." Fang Yuan said.

Of course he doesn't have the token anymore.

"In this case, please pay two hundred yuan stones per person." the guard said.

Fang Yuan handed over the primeval stone and the guard let him go.

From there, the two came to the fourth inner city.

After thousands of years of operation by merchants, the entire mountain has been transformed by merchants, with roads dug, sculptures built, and partitions laid out.

Therefore, the inner city is very large and divided into five districts from the inside out.

The first inner city is also called the Central Inner City. It is the center of merchant power and an important military location.

The second inner city, also known as the Home City, is only provided to the merchants' children.

The third inner city has an elegant environment and fresh air, making it a high-end area.

The fourth inner city is the mid-range area. The fifth inner city is a low-end area.

Further outside, there is a huge flow of people in the outer city, and the management of cargo loading and unloading is more chaotic than in the inner city.

This kind of architectural structure is like a termite hill on earth.

The termite hill is four to ten meters high. Ant colonies live in it. Small passages are interconnected with each other, which is extremely complicated and delicate.

As soon as the two entered the fourth inner city, they suddenly felt the humidity in the air.

The temperature gradually dropped.

The fourth inner city is a higher level than the fifth inner city, which is not only reflected in the entrance tax that is doubled, but also reflected in all aspects.

First of all, cheap firestones are not used for lighting, but a large number of grasshoppers are planted.

The name is Moonlight Creeper.

This kind of vine leaf plant is attached to the cave walls on both sides of the street, spreading and can be seen everywhere.

Their rhizomes are dark blue, and their leaves are wide and large, emitting a faint light blue moonlight.

There are thousands of leaves in one section of the passage, with a continuous soft blue light.

Because of the large number of vine leaves, the air here is humid and water vapor spreads. Close to the ground, the settlement condenses into mist.

The moonlight refracts in the mist, forming a haze of light. When people walk on the street, they have the illusion of walking in a fairyland.

The buildings here are already decorated with carvings, artificial lawns, flower beds, and occasionally rockeries, pavilions, etc.

There are even fewer pedestrians on the road.

Level 2 Gu Masters have become the mainstream. After all, for a Level 1 Gu Master, the entrance of two hundred Yuan Stones alone is a huge expense.

The most obvious feeling is that when walking in the fifth inner city, the streets are still very noisy. Once here, it's much quieter.

The two of them headed deeper into the city and arrived at the gate of the city.

"Without the token, if you two want to enter the third inner city, you have to pay 600 yuan stones." The leader of the guarding Gu masters was already at the third level of cultivation.

Fang Yuan handed over the Yuan Stone and finally arrived at the third area.

This is different from the Fourth Inner City.

All building stones are made of star stone.

This kind of stone is a widely used auxiliary material for refining Gu by Gu masters. It can emit bright starlight in the dark.

The entire third inner city is made of star stones. Not only the buildings, but even the streets are paved with stone slabs made of star stones.

Looking around, the stars are continuous, the field of vision is clear, and there is no light or fog to obstruct it.

The air is also extremely refreshing. Wherever you look, you can see pavilions, red walls and green tiles. Bamboo forests and famous trees were transplanted, rockeries were built, and even springs were installed to make the water gurgling.

There are few pedestrians on the street, it is quiet and pleasant, like a star palace.

"It's really rich..." Bai Ningbing made a slight estimate. The cost of the facilities in front of him was an amount that made him dizzy.

The merchant is the wealthiest in southern Xinjiang. Some people say that even if you pluck out the hair on your legs, they will be thicker than other people's waists. Although this is an exaggeration, it is not groundless.

The merchants are as rich as mountains, and the entire Merchant City is like a three-dimensional mountain. Merchants are doing business all over southern Xinjiang.

No outsider can tell how much wealth the merchants have.

But Fang Yuan at least knew that the construction cost of this third inner city alone could be worth the combined wealth of more than a dozen Gu Yue Villages.

At this point, even second-level Gu masters are rare.

Occasionally, the two of them saw a Gu Master, almost all of whom were at level three.

This is Fang Yuan's destination.

If you go deeper, you will find the second inner city.

But to enter the second inner city, it is not a matter of Yuan Shi. You also need a token issued by a merchant. And the specifications of this token must be high to a certain extent.

"Tongyou Shop." Fang Yuan looked at the plaque and walked in.

This is a shop that buys and sells Gu insects.

"Two distinguished guests, please take a seat inside." A young girl in charge of reception came over immediately and whispered.

Her aura revealed that she was actually a Level 1 Gu Master.

Although both Fang and Bai were wearing mortal clothes, one was ugly and the other was downcast, the Gu Master girl still had a respectful attitude and showed excellent qualities.

Fang Yuan and Bai Ningbing were introduced into the elegant room.

This is a separate room with sandalwood tables and chairs, carved beams and paintings, and calligraphy and paintings hanging on the white walls.

Through the window, you can see the courtyard, with green trees and red flowers, and the chirping of birds.

The Gu Master girl offered two cups of fragrant tea and then left.

As soon as she left, an old man walked in behind her.

"I wonder if you two distinguished guests came to our store, do you want to buy or sell?" The old man, a second-level Gu Master, asked with a smile on his face and cupped his hands.

"I want to buy as well as sell." Fang Yuan answered while picking up the cup.

The old man laughed, and two rays of light flew out of his body and floated in front of Fang Yuan and Bai Ningbing respectively.

It's two lost books.

Bookworms are just one-turn Gu worms, but they are quite precious, comparable to wine worms.

As soon as it appears on the market, it will be snapped up. Therefore, there is often a price but no market.

It is shaped like a silkworm chrysalis. Although it is divided into three body segments: head, chest and abdomen, its whole body is like a spindly osmanthus, somewhat round and cute.

It is completely white, and its surface seems to be coated with a layer of enamel, giving it an oily sheen.

When you touch it in your hand, it feels smooth and smooth, like fine porcelain.

Bookworm is a storage poison, similar to Tushita flower.

The only difference is that Tusita flowers store physical objects, while bookworms store intangible knowledge and information. Even if it self-destructs, it will only explode into a harmless white light.

"You two, please browse carefully." The old Gu Master said.

Both bookworms were refined by him and lent to Fang Yuan and Bai Ningbing.

Fang and Bai each mobilized a piece of snow silver essence and poured it into the bookworm.

The bookworm suddenly turned into a white light and merged into the foreheads and eyebrows of the two people.

Suddenly, a piece of rich information appeared in both Fang Yuan and Bai Ningbing's minds.

These contents seem to be deeply imprinted in the mind after being recited repeatedly.

Bai Ningbing secretly smacked her tongue, there were literally tens of thousands of Gu insects sold in Tongyou Shop! There are so many varieties that it’s dazzling.

Among them, there are many rare Gu insects such as bookworms and wine bugs. From low to high, covering one to five turns.

Of course, there is absolutely no six turns.

Each type of Gu insect has a detailed introduction and explains its functions. The prices are also marked, and some of the higher-level, rare and precious Gu insects are also marked with various token standards.

This means that the Gu Master is only eligible to purchase these Gu Insects if he has the token issued by the merchant.

Fang Yuan needed to buy a large amount of Gu worms. After browsing them briefly, he recovered his mind, called out the book worms, and returned them to the old man.

Although he now has tens of thousands of yuan stones, there is still a huge gap before he can acquire these Gu.

The key is not only the issue of money, some planned acquisitions, but also the token standard.

"What does this customer like? If you buy a lot, our Tongyou store will have corresponding discounts." The old man said with a smile.

After seeing Fang Yuan and Bai Ningbing's Snow Silver True Essence, his tone became more polite.

Fang Yuan waved his hand: "Not busy, I have Gu insects to sell."

After saying that, he summoned a bone spear Gu.

The old man was not surprised either. Many people came to Tongyou Shop to buy Gu Insects, and there were also many people selling Gu Insects.

He pinched the bone gun Gu and glanced at it, with a look of surprise on his face.

He had never seen Bone Spear Gu before.

Of course he hasn't seen it.

This is the unique Gu of the gray-bone genius and has never been circulated in the market.

"Please give me some advice, distinguished guest." The old man said with a solemn face and cupped his hands.

Fang Yuan nodded and took a sip of tea: "It's easy to say, this is called Bone Spear Gu, and it is a family of Gu insects. I'll lend it to you, you can try it and you will know."

The old man tried it out on the spot and said thoughtfully: "Although this Gu is only one turn, it's not very well maintained. But its attack is good and it's unique. It's worth the price."

The old man stretched out his palm and counted a number. (To be continued) [ ]. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is my biggest motivation. )
