Chapter 144 The mountain gate opens
The Lin family does have something. On the surface, there are only four true realm warriors in Yuncang Town.
However, there are not too many disciples who have joined the Beast King Sect in the past generations, but I think there are also a few true realm warriors, but they just pursue martial arts and rarely go home.
It is naturally a good thing that Lin Junhao is so close to Su Yan. At least it gives Su Yan a basic impression of the Beast King Sect and Nantian City.
On the long road of more than 2,000 miles, although everyone has some exchanges, in fact, almost everyone is working hard to condense the beast seal.
In Yuncang Town, they are all geniuses.
But in Nantian City, in the Beast King Sect, they may be nothing.
If you don’t work harder now, you will end up as a servant disciple in the Beast King Sect, which is really losing at the starting line.
Servant disciples have lower authority. Although there is a day for them to come out, they are still a little behind.
Su Yan is also condensing the Hundred Poison Gu Seal. The eleventh seal is gradually taking shape, gradually surrounding the true meaning of the Green Scale Poison Dragon, and the spirit it nourishes is becoming stronger and stronger.
It took almost four days to travel more than two thousand miles, crossing mountains and rivers.
This is the case when all the members are warriors. If it is ordinary people and caravans, then this time may be extended to seven or eight days.
On the official road, smoke and dust rolled, and the team came on horseback.
Although there were still carriages in the team, Su Yan, Bai Yun, Lin Junhao, Fu Xuejing and others were already riding scaly horses, holding weapons, and their eyes were still murderous. Obviously, they had just experienced a battle not long ago.
The evil forces were still determined to steal. Although they did not come in person, they also bid for it.
The first-class recommendation is 1,000 yuan stones, and the second-class recommendation is 500 yuan stones.
This price is not cheap, almost 100,000 taels of silver for the head of a first-class recommendation genius.
There are many desperate people in the green forest, and there are also those who want to please the Three Flame Palace, the Holy Soldier Sect, and the Hundred Caves Wushan and other demon sects.
At this time of year, there are always people who take risks.
Along the way, they killed two waves of bandits who attacked them, including some who were true realm warriors. They really worked hard.
It's a pity that, not counting the fourth uncle of the Lin family, there are also true realm warriors like Su Yan and Bai Yun.
After a fight, they took them down directly.
After passing the Kangchuan River, it was a plain all the way. As they approached Nantian City, there were naturally fewer bandits.
"We're here!"
Someone in the team shouted, and Su Yan looked up at the end of the road.
But a high city came into view.
The city walls were majestic and powerful like mountains. The high walls were pitch black, like a crouching dragon winding around for more than dozens of miles. The black stone was bricked, solid and heavy, but there were mottled marks, knife marks and sword prints staggered, and I don't know how many years and wars it had experienced.
"Compared to Nantian City, Yuncang Town seems like a tiny thing."
The population of Yuncang Town itself is about 100,000, not more than 200,000, and the surrounding villages and villas are only hundreds of thousands of people.
The entire Nantian City has a population of no less than three million people, and the city is so large that it is hard to imagine.
"Let's go into the city."
Everyone came back to their senses from the shock, restrained their mounts, and approached Nantian City.
Su Yan's expression was slightly condensed. The closer he got to Nantian City, the more he felt a sense of oppression on the city wall.
On the huge black stone bricks, deep patterns can be seen from time to time, all of which are animal patterns, and the power is radiated from these animal patterns.
At the entrance of Nantian City, there are a lot of cars and people. One after another, two-zhang long, bluestone-colored blunt-horned giant bulls pulled tall carts and entered the city in a line.
The demon essence was slightly dissipated, and on the carts, there were patterns flowing and echoing each other.
It was obviously loaded with heavy objects, but there was no deep mark on the track, and the bluestone road surface was not damaged at all.
Su Yan was surprised and thought to himself: "Even the carriage is also a weapon refining creation? But it seems different from weapons."
"Brother Lin, what is that?"
Everyone lined up to enter the city, and Su Yan turned his head to ask Lin Junhao.
Lin Junhao explained: "It is the work of a soul sealer."
"Soul sealer?"
Su Yan's eyes lit up slightly, and Lin Junhao said: "Seal the true meaning and beast soul into objects and talismans to drive them."
"How is it compared to a weapon refiner?"
"There are some intersections, but the emphasis is different. The depth of it is not something we can know."
In Nantian City, the thoroughfares are crisscrossed, and ten beasts run side by side, not to mention the bluestone paving, smooth as a mirror. The houses on the street are lined up one after another, and the pavilions and terraces are staggered. The wine shops and teahouses have signs fluttering, guests are crowded, and the noise is endless; there are shops everywhere, pearls, jade, silk, weapons, and all kinds of sundries, dazzling.
The people coming and going were full of energy and spirit, and there were many warriors.
Su Yan only took a quick glance and found many young warriors, all dressed as travelers, who probably wanted to break into the mountain gate to become apprentices.
"Brother Su, we have arrived at Nantian City. If you haven't found a place to stay for the time being, why not come to my place to rest for a while."
Su Yan shook his head: "My master has made arrangements. Thank you for your kindness, Brother Lin."
Lin Junhao did not try to keep him. In fact, after entering the city, each family had their own arrangements. After saying goodbye to each other, they all left.
There are countless inns and restaurants in Nantian City, so it is not difficult to find a place to stay now.
For example, Wang Xiaohu, Fu Xuejing and others who are already wealthy, they have to take advantage of this time to find some suitable elixirs in Nantian City for their cultivation.
In a small place like Yuncang Town, even if there are alchemists, some elixirs are relatively scarce, not like in big cities.
Now that the Beast King Sect is about to open its gates, everyone wants to make a desperate effort.
"Let's go to the house first. I've ordered someone to take care of it."
"Yes."
Bai Yun tacitly did not ask who Su Yan had sent to take care of it, but followed his junior brother to the house to settle down.
The person who opened the door was Yang Kun himself.
"Sir, Miss."
Yang Kun was like a housekeeper. Bai Yun's pupils shrank slightly. At such a close distance, she felt the threat coming from Yang Kun.
'Junior brother's men are also true artistic conception? '
She nodded calmly, and the three of them entered the yard.
As Yang Kun walked, he reported to Su Yan what had happened in recent days.
"My Lord, Ding Meng, Wang Cang and I have already inquired clearly. There are no less than one or two thousand talented people in the city, all waiting for the Beast King Sect to open the mountain gate and take them to the sect."
"When will they come to pick them up?"
"The Beast King Sect has released the news that it will be on February 28th, in front of the Hundred Beasts Post in Nantian City."
"February 28th, which is three days later."
Su Yan calculated the time and found that there was not much spare time.
'That's good, no need to wait too long. '
He looked at Yang Kun, pointed his hand on the table, and a box of gold and silver notes appeared in front of Yang Kun.
"I'll give you another 100,000 taels of silver. You can find a way to make a living in Nantian City. Don't be in a hurry. Take it step by step. The purpose is to collect resources."
"I understand. There have been some clues in the past two days, but we still need to prepare a few things."
Yang Kun has always been cautious and mature enough. He doesn't need to be told too much, and there shouldn't be any big problems.
Moreover, although the three True Realms are no longer the top strength in Nantian City, they are not soft persimmons that can be easily manipulated.
Taking advantage of the three days of free time, Su Yan visited Nantian City, especially the shops of elixirs, refining tools, spiritual medicines, etc.
It must be said that the number and variety of second-level elixirs in this elixir shop far exceed those in Yuncang Town, but the price is not low.
The situation is similar in the weapon shop, except that third-level weapons and elixirs are quite rare.
Su Yan asked a little, but was looked at by the clerk in surprise, and then realized it belatedly.
Third-level elixirs are mostly used by the fourth level of the True Realm and the Danqiao Realm.
Even if such things are sold in the market, they cannot be placed on the shelves like ordinary goods and supplied for a long time.
They mostly appear in trade fairs, auctions, and exchange pavilions. To put it bluntly, they intentionally control the circulation of important materials.
In addition to these two things, Su Yan spent a hundred taels of gold to buy a first-level mid-quality soul-sealing talisman.
As the name suggests, the soul-sealing talisman seals the soul. With the supply of true essence and the guidance of spirit, the soul can be summoned and driven at will.
No mistake, one sentence, one post, one content, one 6, one 9, one book, one bar, take a look!
The soul sealed in this hundred taels of gold is a red flame eagle, but it is a first-level mid-level wild beast. Its strength is not strong, but it can be summoned and driven at any time. It can be used at least ten times, which is quite interesting.
Three days passed in a flash. When the time came, Su Yan and Bai Yun went straight to the Hundred Beasts Post with spears in hand.
The so-called Hundred Beasts Post is the large square in the Nantian City. There is a post station set up by the Beast King Sect next to the square.
Most of the contracted beasts and travelers' mounts are fostered here, especially those mounts that belong to the Beast King Sect and are used as transportation.
When the two arrived, many young talents had already stood on the Hundred Beasts Square, both men and women, no more than twenty-four or twenty-five years old, gathered in groups of three or two.
"Brother Su."
Lin Junhao saw Su Yan and came over with Fu Xuejing and others. Almost all the people from Yuncang Town were here.
"There are no less than two thousand people here, right?"
Su Yan just glanced at them, and Lin Junhao smiled bitterly: "More than two thousand, I'm afraid there will be three thousand people who will eventually reach the Beast King Sect."
"Are there still people coming?"
"Those who failed the initial assessment in various counties and towns, or whose names were not left, will be given the opportunity to take the outer sect assessment if they can pass through this mountain wilderness and reach the mountain gate, but... it's not easy."
The mountains are not ordinary places, there are countless wild beasts.
Even if the Beast King Sect regularly cleans them up, there are still many first-level and second-level wild beasts in this wild mountain.
It's not easy to get through this mountain without the help of family power and without showing some skills.
As for cheating, it's not that easy.
"Get out of the way!"
While several people were talking, a loud noise suddenly came.
Several teams of people entered from outside the square. The men and women in the team were all dressed in gorgeous clothes. They looked at everyone with indifference.
And the people who shouted not to block the road were just their followers.
Su Yan smiled: "There are also people who bring their own clearing, what a grand show."
After that group of people came, they occupied a large area waiting, and the people around them did not approach.
"Those are the children of the eight major families in the city, and most of them are disciples of the Beast King Sect."
Lin Junhao smiled bitterly and explained in a slightly lower voice: "Su Yan, don't think that they are dandies. Those who can be pushed out to join the Beast King Sect are not fools even if they are arrogant. Although this style is a bit arrogant, it is also for the family's face."
In Nantian City, the family forces are not small, and each has its own struggles.
It is better to show off a little in such occasions than to have someone spread rumors that you are not strong enough and attract a group of wolves to look around.
In fact, apart from driving away some people and occupying positions, they did not cause any more trouble.
Everyone was silent and waited for about half an hour.
Suddenly, a muffled sound like thunder came from the clouds, and everyone looked up suddenly and looked at the continuous clouds outside Nantian City.
Three huge figures quickly passed through the clouds.
Everyone was shocked, only the disciples of the eight great families opened their eyes slightly, and although they looked serious, they were not surprised at all.
Three giant beasts swooped down and hovered above the Hundred Beasts Square, and their shadows covered most of the entire square.
Su Yan looked closely and saw that there were three huge birds and beasts in the sky.
The wingspan of the birds and beasts was a hundred meters, and the body was thirty to fifty meters long. It had green feathers and white claws, black patterns on its body, an inverted eagle head, and a long beak like a knife. It was a green giant horned eagle.
The green giant horned eagle fell to the ground, raising a strong wind, blowing the clothes of the young talents.
"Cry!"
The one in the middle was particularly huge, with a body of almost a hundred meters, exuding a strong aura, and directly pressed down on the entire square.
Suddenly, even Su Yan felt his body sink slightly.
He narrowed his eyes and thought to himself: ‘At least a late-stage second-order wild beast, so powerful.’
On the green giant horn eagle, there were several people standing, one of whom stood with his hands behind his back, wearing a green armor and a sword at his waist.
“Today, the mountain will be opened. Enter the mountain gate in batches. Those who dare to move will bear the consequences.”
As soon as his voice fell, the sky suddenly opened up, and hundreds of smaller black-horned giant eagles penetrated the clouds, circled down one by one, and landed on the square one after another.
The black-horned giant eagle was only more than ten meters long, and its aura was one section of the green giant horn eagle. It was just a first-order wild beast.
On its back, there was a saddle tied, and it was controlled by a soldier who looked like a black-armored soldier.
The man in green armor swept over the young warriors present, raised his eyes slightly, and then said: "Those with the first-class recommendation order follow me to the green giant horn eagle in the middle, the other two green giant horn eagles on the second-class recommendation order, and the rest of you can choose a black-horned giant eagle and follow the mountain guards into the mountain gate."
After the voice fell, the children of the eight major families took action first.
A man with a long sword and long red hair took a step forward, his figure flashed, and in the blink of an eye he was in front of the green giant horn eagle.
The green giant horn eagle's momentum was released, and the demon essence spread out, forming a suppressive force.
The man's face changed slightly, but his figure did not change, and he landed steadily on the back of the green giant horn eagle.
"Not bad."
The man in green armor nodded slightly and praised slightly.
The rest of the people immediately took action, striding towards the green giant horn eagle, vaguely showing a fighting momentum.
Su Yan's eyes lit up and he smiled: "Is the competition starting now? Is that middle-aged man one of the examiners?"
Those who often take exams know that as long as they enter the interview, they have to leave an impression on the examiners in every possible way.
At present, all the children of the eight families are like this. In the competition for the first and the last, they also use their own methods.
While resisting the pressure of the giant blue horned eagle, they climbed onto the back of the giant blue horned eagle before the other party, thus distinguishing the first and the last.
Seeing this, Su Yan raised his gun in his hand, took a step forward, and released his momentum. In a blink of an eye, he was behind the talents of the eight families.
"Humph, where did you come from, you dare to get ahead."
In front of Su Yan, a young man saw him following, snorted coldly, blocked his way, and blocked his position.
