Chapter 673
"Is this Tiantian City?" Han Li stood on a hillside, looking at the huge city wall several miles away, and said in a low voice.
"How is it? Have you never seen such a large stone city, Junior Martial Brother Han? This was only achieved after several expansions by the Nine Nations Alliance. Although I dare not say it is the number one city in Tiannan, it can definitely be ranked in the top five. And the entire city is built of huge stones; it is absolutely the only one of its kind," Lu Luo stood beside Han Li and said with similar emotion.
Hearing this, Han Li smiled slightly.
Speaking of huge cities, what city in Tiannan could compare to Star City in the Star Fall Sea? That was the true behemoth-like existence.
The Tiantian City before his eyes, although it was also a huge city of over a hundred miles, was nothing compared to Star City.
Although Han Li was indifferent, Mu Mu Peiling, who was right next to him on the other side, had a look of shock on her face.
The stone city before her eyes clearly shocked this woman quite a bit.
"However, once you get within a hundred miles of Tiantian City, you have to walk over. It's really a bit depressing!" Lu Luo shook his head and said with some dissatisfaction.
Han Li pursed his lips before replying:
"The Nine Nations Alliance has no choice. Otherwise, with so many high-tier cultivators here, if everyone came and went from the sky, they would have no way to manage this city. Fortunately, for us Nascent Soul cultivators, this barrier is just a superficial gesture. If we really wanted to fly away, could this kind of barrier trap us?"
"I didn't expect you to be so open-minded, Junior Martial Brother. Alright, let's go. Perhaps if we enter the city earlier, we might have some gains!" Ever since the spiritual sense battle with Marquis Lord Nanlong not long ago, this Senior Martial Brother Lu had become much more enthusiastic and intimate with Han Li than before.
So, with Han Li smiling and nodding in agreement, the three of them went down the hillside and walked swaggeringly toward the city gate in the distance.
Because they were near Tiantian City, cultivators were walking toward the city from all directions. It appeared quite popular.
Han Li and Lu Luo did not want to cause any commotion. Therefore, the two of them had long since concealed their cultivation bases, appearing to be Foundation Establishment stage cultivators similar to Mu Mu Peiling.
Thus, the three of them easily mingled with other cultivators and walked into the city gate, which was over ten zhang high.
At the city gate, although there were some Nine Nations Alliance law enforcement cultivators on guard, they did not discover anything unusual about Han Li and the others.
Once inside Tiantian City, what met their eyes were rows of stone houses, neatly arranged.
Between these stone houses, blue stone long streets of varying widths crisscrossed among them, as dense as a spider web. There were quite a few people coming and going.
"Let's determine our accommodation first. However, there is no need to squeeze into some inn with others. Here, there are VIP buildings that specifically host Nascent Soul cultivators for free. We can just go directly there," Lu Luo had been to Tiantian City once before and said with the experience of an old horse.
Han Li naturally had no different opinion and took Mu Mu Peiling to follow the middle-aged man surnamed Lu directly.
As a result, Lu Luo led the two of them directly toward a corner of the huge city.
A while later, the three of them passed through many streets and finally arrived in front of a white light screen.
Behind the light screen were numerous quiet and elegant pavilions, each with different styles and exquisite beauty.
Other cultivators passing by outside the light screen, upon looking at the pavilions inside, all showed expressions of awe and envy.
But they did not dare to linger and quickly left the place one after another.
"This is it. Only cultivators above the Nascent Soul stage have the ability to open this layer of barrier," Lu Luo said, pointing with his finger, then split the light screen with one hand, while a blue light flashed on his palm.
With a "Zila" sound, the white light screen was split open by Lu Luo's palm, which was filled with spiritual power, creating a large opening.
With a flash of figures, he walked in without any hesitation.
The light screen closed instantly, fast beyond imagination.
After being stunned for a moment, Han Li did not say much. Opening his mouth, a ball of green light shot out.
After the green light flashed on the white light screen, a hole about a zhang wide immediately shattered open.
Han Li wrapped his arm around Mu Mu Peiling's willow waist with one hand, and amidst a heart full of fragrance, he brought the woman into the light screen.
Mu Mu Peiling leaned halfway into Han Li's embrace, her face slightly flushed, and for a moment, she felt a strange sensation in her heart.
Seeing Han Li break the barrier and enter with such ease, a flash of surprise crossed Lu Luo's eyes, but he immediately returned to his normal expression.
"These pavilions can be chosen at will by any Nascent Soul stage cultivator, along with their disciples. However, if the barrier outside a pavilion is lit up, it means someone is already there, so you have to choose another one. But not all Nascent Soul cultivators are willing to come here. Some old monsters would rather live outside the city or in inns," Lu Luo said while smiling and pointing at the pavilions.
Sure enough, a small portion of the pavilions had barrier lights flashing.
"Junior Martial Brother! Let's choose these two adjacent pavilions; it will be easier to look after each other if something happens," Lu Luo suggested, pointing to two pavilions fifty or sixty zhang away.
"I will follow your suggestion, Senior Martial Brother," Han Li looked around slightly and replied indifferently.
Just as Lu Luo wanted to say something more, the barrier of another pavilion nearby, which was covered by white and yellow light, suddenly opened, and a short figure actually walked out from inside.
And that person's gaze swept over Han Li and the others, and he immediately said in surprise:
"Eh, isn't this Brother Lu? I didn't expect you to arrive so early, fellow Daoist!"
Hearing this, Han Li hurriedly looked over carefully.
This person was fair and tender, looking like a jade child; it was actually the Fire Dragon Boy he had seen at the holy land of the three sects. Now that he had finished saying this, his black and white eyes rolled around, and his gaze fell directly on Han Li and Mu Mu Peiling, a look of shock appearing on his small face.
With the Fire Dragon Boy's super-strong memory, having seen Han Li and the woman only twenty-plus years ago, he naturally recognized at a glance that Han Li was one of the disciples from the last Sword Trial Assembly. However, Han Li was now using a common cultivation technique to conceal his cultivation base, which naturally could not deceive him, as he was of the same stage. After a shock in his heart, he immediately revealed an expression of sudden realization.
"Hehe! So it is Fellow Daoist Lan. We didn't arrive early; it is you who arrived first this time. By the way, this is Elder Han, who has newly joined our Luoyun Sect. Junior Martial Brother Han, I presume you have met Brother Lan once, so I don't need to introduce you anymore, right!" Lu Luo was stunned at first, then said with a face full of smiles, appearing to have a good relationship with the other party.
"So Fellow Daoist Han is truly a newly joined Elder of your sect. I really had eyes but failed to see on that day," the Fire Dragon Boy said with a bitter smile after hearing what Lu Luo said, appearing to have no intention of seriously pursuing the matter of that day.
"I had only long heard of the great name of the Spirit Eye Sacred Tree, which is why I entered the holy land to take a look. I hope Fellow Daoist Lan will not blame me," although the other party had said so, Han Li still smiled and explained slightly.
"Now that you are an Elder of the Luoyun Sect, there is naturally no need to mention this matter again. However, you two arrived at the right time. I have just arranged with a few fellow Daoists I am familiar with to go to the Crystal Dragon Pavilion for a small trade fair. Why don't you two go over and take a look together? Perhaps you might find something suitable," the Fire Dragon Boy appeared to be a straightforward person and immediately waved his hand to invite them.
"A trade fair so soon. Tsk tsk, my Junior Martial Brother and I arrived at just the right time. Junior Martial Brother Han, trade fairs held between Nascent Soul cultivators are rare; we must go. Otherwise, we might miss out on some good things," Lu Luo was overjoyed upon hearing this and immediately turned his face to say solemnly to Han Li.
"Everything will be as Brother Lan says!" Han Li's expression remained unchanged, and after a smile, he said peacefully.
So, Han Li and the other man first set up a barrier outside their pavilion and then followed the Fire Dragon Boy out of the white screen again.
After Han Li gave a few instructions, he temporarily left Mu Mu Peiling inside the pavilion.
"The Crystal Dragon Pavilion was opened by a good friend of mine in the Nine Nations Alliance, and this friend of mine has wide connections, whether it is the righteous path, the demonic path, or people like us, he has acquaintances. That is why he was able to organize this trade fair. However, to avoid some unnecessary trouble, everyone who enters must wear a mask to cover their original true appearance."
In a crisp, childish voice, the Fire Dragon Boy told them everything about the trade fair.
And Lu Luo, upon hearing this, felt a stir in his heart and said with some surprise:
"Brother Lan, could it be True Person Brother Tianjing? It seems only that old man has such conditions. However, I remember that True Person Brother Tianjing does not like to get involved in these matters. Why did he take the initiative to hold a trade fair this time?"
"Hehe, I didn't expect you to know the reputation of my old friend Brother Tianjing, Brother Lu. That's right, although this old friend of mine doesn't like trouble, it seems he is in urgent need of a few rare items recently, but he hasn't been able to find them. I guess that is why he took the initiative to convene this trade fair," the Fire Dragon Boy said with a grin.
"Oh, if that is the case, it is possible for that old man," Lu Luo nodded in understanding.
Han Li listened to the conversation between the two from the side, his expression always very calm.
During their conversation, the three of them arrived in front of a pavilion as white as jade.
This pavilion had three stories, with the area decreasing from bottom to top. On the door of the pavilion, an old-fashioned silver-edged plaque was hanging.
The three golden characters "Crystal Dragon Pavilion" were written on it.
