Chapter 1227: Little Huan Courtyard
Chapter 1227: Little Huan Courtyard
“Mr. Liu, you don’t have to hide your identity as a human anymore.” Just as Liu Ming was looking up at the entire Luo City, Lan Si’s voice came from behind.
“Fairy Lan is right.” Liu Ming was slightly taken aback by this, then he smiled.
Just now, among the crowds entering and leaving Luo City, there are quite a few human cultivators.
He flicked his body with one hand, and the faint purple aura radiating from his body disappeared. A fist-sized purple oval bead appeared in his hand, which was the Tapir Eye Bead.
Qian Rupin also took off the Tapir Eye Bead. They removed their disguise and immediately restored the human cultivator aura.
“Okay, it’s getting late. Let’s enter the city quickly.” Lan Si glanced at Liu Ming and Qian Ruping, then she looked at the city gate ahead again.
The old man in a gray robe surnamed Lan of the Sky Bird Race was talking with the Blood Vine Race guard who looked like the captain. He seemed to be quite familiar with him. He handed over a bag of spirit stones.
After the captain took the spirit stones, he scanned with Divine Thought before nodding and waving his hand, hinting at his subordinates to let them pass.
Following the order of the old man surnamed Lan, hundreds of people from the Sky Bird Race caravan began to drive into the gate without being checked.
Now that it was approaching evening, the sky was getting darker. The afterglow of the setting sun was reflected on the city wall, adding a bit of exotic charm to this giant city.
At this time, there was still an endless stream of cultivators of various races entering and leaving the Luo City. There were also some beastkin teams that looked like caravans, but their number was obviously not as many as that of the Heavenly Bird Race caravan, a dozen people at most.
Such a large caravan naturally attracted extra attention.
“Mr. Liu, please consider the matter of the elder guest. After all, there are still nearly a hundred years before the sea-crossing giant ship sets sail.” Lan Si suddenly said as soon as they stepped into the city gate.
“Blue Wood Race has the protection of the Blood Vine Race clan, which is second to none in the Savage Wild Continent, so you shouldn’t be worried about the revenge of those Shadow Wolf Race. Besides, how can a Real Pellet State like me can offer any help?” Liu Ming replied with a slight smile.
“In the Blood Vine Race area, those Shadow Wolf Races naturally dare not to cause trouble, but if it involves transactions in other areas, if there is no Real Pellet State cultivator accompanying them, then it’s hard to say. After all, Shadow Wolf Race still holds a grudge of the separation of our race. They will never let us go easily. As for the reward, I will never let Mr. Liu down.” Lan Si sighed softly when she said this.
“Thank you for your kindness, let me think about it again.” Liu Ming said noncommittally.
“Then, I will wait for your good news. By the way, we will deliver this batch of goods to the customer now, so I’m afraid we won’t be able to go with you. This is the VIP token of our Blue Wood Firm in Luo City. If you have anything, you can go to the business firm to look for me. In any case, Brother Liu had done a great favor for our Blue Wood Race.” Seeing this, Lan Si didn’t force him. She handed over a blue token and bade farewell.
“That’s fine. Then we will part away with Fairy Lan here.” Liu Ming took the light blue token and replied with a smile.
“Luo City has all kinds of people, and the businessmen visit frequently. There are many temporary rented residences and cave houses in the city. I believe there should be many in Little Huan Courtyard, but the cost is high. In addition, Mr. Liu must remember not to fight with people in the city. Although the Blood Vine Race is quite kind to all other cultivators, they will never show mercy to those who dare to violate the rules set by them. Okay, take care, both of you.” Lan Si gave them some reminders, then she flew into the luxurious carved cart and went away.
After Liu Ming saw her off, he looked around carefully.
In front of him was a street with a width of 300 meters. Although there were many pedestrians on the street, on such a spacious road, there wouldn’t be any congestion.
The shop buildings on both sides were densely packed. They had different styles and heights. Some were exquisitely decorated, and some were quite rough.
What was interesting was that Liu Ming had seen most of these architectural styles in the cities along the way.
It wasn’t strange. This Luo City was the largest city in the Savage Wild Continent, and Blood Vine Race never rejected any races, so this city became a veritable big city where various races lived together. This was rare in the Savage Wild Continent where wars were everywhere.
But in some aspects, the tradition of these tribes or races wouldn’t be easily changed.
“Ru Ping, let’s go to Little Huan Courtyard to find a place to stay. Tomorrow, we will take a good look of this largest city.” Liu Ming came back to his senses and spoke to Qian Rupin who was attracted by the surrounding scenery.
“Okay!” Qian Rupin nodded vigorously.
They immediately walked toward the northeast of the city according to the map.
When night fell, Liu Ming came to the northeast area of the city.
What caught his eyes was a square pavilion and stone house buildings. The environment was serene. Some human cultivators in robes and short shirts could be seen from time to time. Although it didn’t look deserted, it was not as lively as other areas.
Seeing this, Liu Ming couldn’t help laughing.
He never thought before that he would feel so excited to see a human cultivator.
If he didn’t know that he was in the Savage Wild Continent, he would really think that he had returned to a small human town in the Middle Sky Continent.
This was where the human cultivators of Luo City gathered, the Little Huan Courtyard.
The north of Luo City leaned against Changyang Mountain, so on the north wall of Little Huan Courtyard, cave houses could be seen faintly. They extended from the foot of the mountain to the mountainside. At this moment, some of the cave houses were covered with a thick layer of gray mist, making it impossible for Divine Thought to go through. They should be the cave houses for rent mentioned by Lan Si.
Looking at the human cultivators, Qian Rupin seemed to have gradually lost the restraint she had when she first entered Luo City and immediately looked around.
Liu Ming led Qian Rupin straight through these buildings and came to the gray stone hall at the foot of the mountain.
The hall was quite spacious. There were some simple wooden cabinets and bookshelves randomly placed around it. Rows of books were placed on the bookshelves, which looked a bit antique.
On the wooden table in the center of the hall, a young man in a coarse short shirt was lying on the table and sleeping soundly. He didn’t even realize when Liu Ming and Qian Rupin walked in front of him.
“I want to rent a cave house with a stronger spirit.” Seeing this, Liu Ming felt a little amused. He reached out and patted the table lightly.
“Ah, rare guests. Oh no, distinguished guests. Please come with me. We have quite a few high class cave houses here. You will be satisfied for sure.” The young man woke up in a startle and said with sleepy eyes.
…
After 15 minutes.
Right now Liu Ming and Qian Rupin were standing in a cave house.
Although this cave house was only a medium-sized one in Little Huan Courtyard, it had all kinds of facilities, including a special ground fire room, which could be used for forging, alchemy. There was even a special small herb garden.
The spirit in the cave house was also much stronger than the outside. Obviously, the spiritual vein here was something special.
The cave house’s protective enchantment was also very powerful, no worse than Liu Ming’s esoteric discipline cave house in Futu Palace. Although it cost Liu Ming nearly one million spirit stones to rent it for a hundred years, it was still worth the money.
Qian Rupin had never seen such an extravagant cave house. She walked around the cave house excitedly. She soon took out 2 sets of formation flags and disk arrays and launched several lights around the cave house.
In a blink of an eye, a faint blue light curtain enveloped the cave house, and a faint yellow light appeared on the ground.
Liu Ming looked at Qian Rupin who was busy everywhere, and he smiled slightly, but when he thought about Yao Ji, he frowned again.
In fact, he and Yao Ji didn’t have much relationship, but after all, they had sex for once. If he didn’t come to the Savage Wild Continent, it would be fine. Now that he came, he had to see her at the very least.
When Liu Ming was thinking, there was a bell sound suddenly from the entrance of the cave house. This was a small enchantment set up outside the Little Huan Courtyard cave house. It was used to notify the owner of the cave house when someone came to visit.
Liu Ming walked out slowly. He launched a symbol to open the door.
When he saw the situation outside, he was suddenly taken aback.
He saw 3 cultivators with smiles standing side by side outside the door. The middle one was a young man who looked about 26 years old, dressed in a green taoist robe, had slender eyebrows and eyes, and looked quite elegant.
The other one was a young woman in her thirties. She wore a red shirt and looked pretty, but a long scar on her cheek ruined her beauty.
The last one was a burly man like a sturdy tower. He had beards all over his face, and he carried huge nine-ringed sword on his back, looking extremely mighty.
All 3 were human cultivators, and their cultivation was not low. The young man in a white robe was at the Real Pellet State later stage like Liu Ming, and the other 2 were also at the Real Pellet State intermediate stage.
“Sir must be Liu Ming who just arrived today, right? We are human cultivators renting in Little Huan Courtyard just like you. We come to pay a visit to Mr. Liu.” The taoist in a green robe bowed with a kind face and said.
The other 2 also smiled and bowed.
“It turns out to be 3 human friends, please come in.” Liu Ming’s eyes flashed. He bowed back and invited them into the cave house.
Seeing the guests coming, Qian Rupin immediately stopped what she was doing, served 4 cups of spiritual tea that came with the cave house, and then retreated obediently.
“I have just moved in here, so my humble house is a bit shabby. Please don’t be offended.” Liu Ming said with a slight smile.
“Not at all. It’s us who are bothering you.” The young taoist said very modestly.
Among the 3 people who came, this young taoist was obviously the leader. He was the one who talked to Liu Ming all the time.
They didn’t bother Qian Rupin much, thinking she was just Liu Ming’s maid.
“By the way, we haven’t introduced ourselves yet. My surname is Yan and my name is Qin. These two are Fairy Jing and Mr. Ge.” The young taoist briefly introduced themselves.
Liu Ming nodded as a greeting.
After reporting their names, in addition to being in the Savage Wild Continent, they had some intimacy as human cultivators. The atmosphere of the conversation gradually became familiar.
