Chapter 174: Departure or Stay

After Ye Qingxuan left.

Heifeng looked at Zhou Qingguang and suggested: "City Lord, should we take this opportunity to leave quickly?"

Hearing Heifeng's words.

Qingyu's lips moved, wanting to speak but stopping.

If she could, she didn't want to leave Green Light City.

It was just that she, Heifeng, and Watching Xue Yu had sworn to be loyal to Zhou Qingguang for a hundred years when they became commanders of Green Light City.

Now that the deadline had not yet arrived, she could not easily violate Zhou Qingguang's order.

Watching Xue Yu, who was on the side, looked indifferent.

He had no attachments anyway; as long as it didn't affect his cultivation, it didn't matter where he went.

Zhou Qingguang pondered for a moment, calculating for a long time, before slowly opening his mouth:

"Let's not leave for now!"

"Not leave? City Lord, do we really have to join the command of that Daoist Gui Xuanzi?"

Heifeng was shocked and looked at Zhou Qingguang with great incomprehension.

Based on his understanding of Zhou Qingguang, Zhou Qingguang shouldn't be the kind of person who would easily submit.

As for Qingyu, hearing Zhou Qingguang's words, a look of joy appeared in her eyes.

Looking at Heifeng's shock, Zhou Qingguang retorted: "If we leave Green Light City, where can we find another fourth-order spiritual vein?"

"Uh?"

Hearing Zhou Qingguang's retort, Heifeng was speechless for a moment.

Although there were many spiritual veins in the Star Fall Province, the vast majority of spiritual veins had already been occupied by human factions or demon beasts.

If they went to other cities to rent cave dwellings, they could only maintain their cultivation in the short term.

Once the spirit stones were exhausted, they would be kicked out.

At that time, they would still have to join someone else's command to obtain a cultivation cave dwelling.

Zhou Qingguang's previous unwillingness to easily submit and join someone else's command.

Was because he occupied a fourth-order spiritual vein and was not short of spiritual energy resources for the time being, so he refused the solicitation of other factions.

Everything before was done under the premise of not affecting his own cultivation.

"Let's stay in Green Light City and see for now. If that Daoist Gui Xuanzi goes too far, we will find a way to leave Green Light City."

Zhou Qingguang didn't believe it; the Star Fall Province was so big, if he ran away, could that Daoist Gui Xuanzi find him?

Regarding Zhou Qingguang's final decision, Heifeng, Qingyu, and Watching Xue Yu nodded slightly and did not refute again.

On the other side.

Ye Qingxuan flew all the way.

Finally, two days later, he arrived at Qingli City.

Qingli City was a thousand miles long and wide, which was already considered a large city in the Star Fall Province.

Facing the magnificent city in front of him, Ye Qingxuan did not act rashly.

Looking at the crowded city gate, Ye Qingxuan honestly walked to the outside of the city gate to line up.

During the queuing process, Ye Qingxuan glanced at the entry requirements written on the city wall:

"Residents of the city pass for free; outside mortals entering the city need to pay one hundred taels of silver; outside cultivators below the Nascent Soul Realm entering the city need to pay ten lower-grade spirit stones."

Silver and gold are both first-order spiritual minerals, just of different quality.

Due to their few uses, silver and gold are not valued by cultivators, so they became the common currency for mortals.

Under normal circumstances, there is no stipulated exchange rate between silver, gold, and spirit stones.

If one wants to exchange silver and gold for spirit stones.

Generally, one can only sell silver and gold to cultivators as first-order spiritual minerals.

As for what price it can sell for, it depends on individual luck.

Fortunately, cultivators will not be bored enough to interfere with the mortal market and do things that harm others and do not benefit themselves.

Therefore, the value of gold and silver among mortals is relatively stable.

When it was Ye Qingxuan's turn, Ye Qingxuan took out ten lower-grade spirit stones and handed them to the cultivator guarding the city gate, successfully entering Qingli City.

Although Ye Qingxuan was a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator, he did not want to expose himself.

So he chose to pay ten lower-grade spirit stones to avoid causing unnecessary influence.

After entering Qingli City, Ye Qingxuan did not delay much, and after some inquiries, he quickly found the Bai Bao Ge. "Distinguished guest, what would you like to buy?"

Just as Ye Qingxuan entered the Bai Bao Ge, someone came up to greet him.

"Do you have a detailed map of the Star Fall Province?"

"Yes, a detailed map of the Star Fall Province is one hundred supreme-grade spirit stones per copy. May I ask, distinguished guest, you?"

Ye Qingxuan nodded slightly: "Give me one."

After speaking, he took out one hundred supreme-grade spirit stones and handed them to the other party.

Seeing Ye Qingxuan so straightforward, the person was somewhat surprised.

After reacting, he quickly took the spirit stones Ye Qingxuan handed over and fetched a detailed map of the Star Fall Province for Ye Qingxuan.

After Ye Qingxuan got the map, he checked it slightly, and after confirming there was no problem, he turned and left the Bai Bao Ge.

After leaving Qingli City and getting far away from it.

Ye Qingxuan took out the map and examined it carefully.

"So that's how it is!"

Ye Qingxuan was originally puzzled; why was the Bai Bao Ge not afraid of the map being leaked at will when selling it?

After a detailed inspection, Ye Qingxuan discovered that there was a Deity Transformation-level restriction left on the map.

The map requires spiritual sense to view.

Cultivators below the Deity Transformation Realm cannot break the restriction and thus cannot replicate it.

If the restriction on the map is not broken, as long as a cultivator below the Deity Transformation Realm has the intention to replicate it, the map in their memory will become chaotic.

As for powerhouses at or above the Deity Transformation Realm, the Bai Bao Ge cannot restrain them.

But the Bai Bao Ge will not restrain that level of powerhouses.

If there is a chance to please them, the Bai Bao Ge might even be happy to do so.

Browsing through the map in detail.

The map records the sphere of influence of large and small factions in the Star Fall Province and the terrain in great detail.

Even for Deity Transformation-level factions, some non-secret information is also introduced on it.

On the surface, the entire Star Fall Province has a total of nine Deity Transformation-level factions.

Among them, five Deity Transformation-level factions are human factions, namely Star Fall City, Nan Yu City, Feiyu Sect, Huangji Sect, and the Bai Bao Ge.

Yes, the Bai Bao Ge is also one of the Deity Transformation-level factions on the surface of the Star Fall Province.

It's just that the Bai Bao Ge doesn't occupy much territory except for the city where its headquarters is located.

The Bai Bao Ge is a neutral faction, only interested in opening shops in major cities.

Under normal circumstances, major factions will also give the Bai Bao Ge some face and allow the Bai Bao Ge to enter and open shops.

As for Star Fall City, because Star Fall City is the strongest faction on the surface, everyone defaults to Star Fall City as the provincial capital of the Star Fall Province.

And the fact is indeed so; Star Fall City is not only located in the core area of the Star Fall Province.

It is also the largest city in the Star Fall Province so far, with a length and width of one hundred thousand miles each.

Even in the entire Eastern Extreme Region, Star Fall City can be considered a magnificent large city.

The remaining four Deity Transformation-level factions are actually gathering places for demon beasts.

They are Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain, Poisonous Swamp, Heavenly Moat Mountain Range, and Water Kingdom.

In these four places, a large number of demon beasts gather, and each has sixth-order demon beasts.

And the specific number of sixth-order demon beasts is not detailed on the map.

Within a million miles around these four places, there are no human cities, which shows their terror.

In the Star Fall Province, besides these nine Deity Transformation-level factions on the surface, there are countless Nascent Soul-level factions scattered in various places.

This includes many demon beast gathering places.

And these Nascent Soul-level demon beast gathering places are the targets for Ye Qingxuan to build a city.

Although Ye Qingxuan has confidence in his strength and trump cards.

But being a newcomer, before figuring out the detailed strength of the Deity Transformation-level demon beast gathering places, Ye Qingxuan does not intend to take action against them.

Therefore, the fifth-order Nascent Soul-level demon beast gathering place is Ye Qingxuan's best target.

Browsing quickly, Ye Qingxuan soon locked onto a location on the map, Ten Thousand Spirits Mountain.
