764: A drunken night in spring

Lin Yang returned to the cabin room where he had previously woken up.

According to Zhao Chen, this trip to Bi Xia City would still take several years.

Bi Xia City was a frontier city of the Gu Xu Clan, bordering Xiwu City on the human side.

Because the relationship between the two races was quite harmonious, there was frequent trade and commerce between them.

The Gu Xu Clan had some special resources that the humans here needed.

And vice versa.

However, for some reasons, there was no direct Teleportation Array between the two cities.

Therefore, trade and commerce could only be conducted by people from the two cities running back and forth to transport goods.

However, those capable of trading were basically powerful family forces.

Because the distance between the two cities was not short, and the road was not peaceful.

The Zhao family was a family force within Xiwu City; they were not the top, but they were not bad either.

This trade mission was led by Zhao Chen, an expert in the late stage of the Nie Kong Realm, along with one or two clansmen in the early-to-mid Nie Kong Realm and some family guards and disciples, heading to Bi Xia City.

This was also the configuration of most family trade teams.

It could handle most emergencies on the road.

Overall, the situation here was much more complicated than in Jidong Prefecture.

Because it was a frontier city after all, a mix of good and bad people, requiring extra caution.

After initially understanding the situation here, Lin Yang began to think about his next countermeasures.

First of all, he definitely couldn't return to Jidong Prefecture in a short time.

He needed to settle down here temporarily.

Or rather, settle down for the long term.

Wait until there was a chance in the future to return to Zheng Mu Prefecture to see that girl, Little Xia Shuang, and Li Liping.

Thinking of them, Lin Yang couldn't help but take out the communication jade slip.

Inside the jade slip were messages left for him by Xia Shuang and Li Liping.

There were many.

Most of them were sent by that girl, Xia Shuang.

She had been sending messages constantly since Baichi City fell.

It was just that he couldn't receive them at the time.

But that girl, Xia Shuang, had never given up.

Her words were full of worry and concern.

Li Liping was about the same.

Lin Yang sighed, thought for a moment, and ultimately did not reply to them.

This was not because he didn't trust the girl Xia Shuang and Li Liping.

It was just that this matter was really hard to explain clearly.

He had to be cautious and wait for a suitable opportunity to tell them later.

And currently, except for them, Lin Yang had no other friends or relatives on the Primal Ancient Continent.

So he had no worries about staying in Xiwu City now.

After selling the resources in my hands, I should be able to live as an ordinary wealthy man. I won't have to worry about cultivation funds for a short time. Let's first see the situation in Bi Xia City and Xiwu City before making plans, Lin Yang thought to himself.

Several decades later.

The Zhao family's warship arrived at Bi Xia City.

Lin Yang was called out of his room by Zhao Hu in advance, letting him look at Bi Xia City from afar.

After these decades of getting along, the relationship between Lin Yang and these people from the Zhao family was quite harmonious.

He could even chat quite well with Zhao Hu at times.

Through back-and-forth interactions, the two had also become quite familiar with each other.

Zhao Hu knew this was Lin Yang's first time in Bi Xia City, so he called him early.

Standing on the side of the warship, one could see a magnificent city standing on the horizon from afar.

An indescribable momentum rushed towards him.

It made one feel oppressed.

It is a hundred times larger and more spectacular than the prefecture city of Jidong Prefecture.

Lin Yang's most intuitive feeling was that Bi Xia City was huge.

Very huge!

Although he couldn't see the whole picture, he could see the general outline.

Compared to Bi Xia City, Baichi City was not worth mentioning.

He couldn't help but think of Qian Luo, the playboy young master of the Qian family who had caused trouble in Baichi City before.

At that time, Qian Luo and his followers said Baichi City was just a small, broken place.

Now it seemed that although that guy was arrogant, what he said was not wrong.

Compared to this Bi Xia City, Baichi City was indeed too small.

This was the first time Lin Yang had seen a city on the Primal Ancient Continent that shocked him.

It was like an ancient ferocious beast crouching between heaven and earth, awe-inspiring.

As the warship slowly approached, that feeling of oppression grew stronger.

Finally, the warship landed outside the city.

The Zhao family group disembarked, and Lin Yang followed them, entering the city with the Zhao family and the others.

In an area outside the city gate, one could see incoming warships landing or taking off at any time.

This kind of prosperity was something that couldn't be seen in Jidong Prefecture.

Lin Yang suddenly thought of the city levels on Blue Star.

Bi Xia City was equivalent to a developed city, while Jidong Prefecture was a backward region.

The gap was too obvious.

To enter the city, one had to pay an entry fee.

However, the Zhao family paid it for Lin Yang.

Once inside the city, the prosperous and noisy atmosphere rushed towards him.

A steady stream of people, the clamor of voices.

Buildings of various styles stood tall.

Quite magnificent.

Lin Yang saw some people with unique auras, somewhat different from the aura of the human race.

Undoubtedly, they were Gu Xu clansmen.

This was the first time Lin Yang had seen Gu Xu clansmen.

The aura on them was very special, making it easy for one to distinguish them at a glance.

It wasn't just the aura; the appearance of the Gu Xu clansmen was also quite handsome.

Regardless of gender, they all had an indescribable sense of beauty.

High nose bridges, deep eye sockets, three-dimensional facial contours.

Very recognizable.

Lin Yang scanned them, and he didn't see a single ugly one.

Truly handsome men and beautiful women.

Lin Yang couldn't help but sigh lightly.

Zhao Hu, who was beside him, chuckled: The Gu Xu clansmen are indeed like this; they are gifted in terms of appearance. However, they rarely intermarry with our human race, so we can just look. Once you see more, it's just like that.

What he meant was that Lin Yang was new here, so he would feel it was fresh.

Lin Yang nodded and slightly withdrew his gaze.

Although Bi Xia City was a city of the Gu Xu Clan, there were indeed many human cultivators in the city.

Coming and going on the streets, they could be seen everywhere.

It felt more like a city where the two races lived together.

However, the management of the city was still the powerful figures of the Gu Xu Clan.

There are many human cultivators like us living and cultivating within the Gu Xu Clan's territory, and it's even more obvious in Bi Xia City.

Zhao Hu whispered to introduce some situations to Lin Yang.

Amidst the idle chatter, the group arrived at a restaurant.

Brother Lin Yang, we will stay in Bi Xia City for a period of time. During this time, we will stay at this restaurant.

Zhao Hu said:

Usually we will go out to exchange resources for trade. You can move freely to familiarize yourself with the situation in Bi Xia City. If you don't want to return to Xiwu City when the time comes, you can also consider staying here in Bi Xia City. Actually, Xiwu City is about the same as here, except that it is our human race's own territory.

While speaking, Zhao Hu also completed the check-in procedures for Lin Yang and paid the fees for him.

Brother Zhao Hu, I can pay for this money myself. Lin Yang said quickly when he saw this.

Although he didn't have much yuan sand on him now, he could still afford the money for the restaurant.

Zhao Hu waved his hand and smiled in a low voice: Our Zhao family has a long-term cooperation with this restaurant. There is a big discount for staying here, which is much cheaper than you paying it yourself. It's just a little money, no need to be formal.

Then many thanks to Brother Zhao Hu. Lin Yang blinked upon hearing this and didn't refuse again.

You're welcome. It's fate that we met, not to mention that we get along quite well. Zhao Hu laughed.

Lin Yang silently noted this debt in his heart, intending to pay it back if there was a chance.

Subsequently, Zhao Hu was called away by Zhao Chen to handle some matters.

Lin Yang returned to his room for a brief rest, then went out on his own.

He needed to deal with the large amount of resources he had in his hands that he no longer needed, selling them all for yuan sand.

In this unfamiliar place, no matter what he did, he needed money to pave the way.

Bi Xia City was so huge that it happened to be convenient for him to sell that massive amount of resources.

In a smaller city, selling so many resources at once might attract attention.

But in a place like Bi Xia City, no one would care about selling even more ordinary resources.

However, for the sake of safety, Lin Yang did not sell too many resources at once in the same shop, but ran to many places and sold those resources in different shops.

Then he suddenly became a small rich man.

It's just that Lin Yang didn't indulge too much in the emotion of sudden wealth.

Although the amount of yuan sand in his hands now was the most he had ever had since arriving on the Primal Ancient Continent, if he were to cultivate with all his might, it would be difficult to sustain for too long.

The higher the cultivation level, the more resources were needed for cultivation, and the more precious they were; the prices were skyrocketing.

It was still far from the point where he could live off his savings.

It was just that he didn't have to worry about yuan sand for the time being.

This gave him some confidence to gain a foothold here.

In the process of selling resources, Lin Yang also carefully observed the situation of the cultivators in Bi Xia City.

Perhaps because it was a large frontier city, the cultivators here were not weak.

Even those in the Nie Kong Realm were not in the minority.

Although most of the Nie Kong Realm cultivators seen outside were only in the early-to-mid stages, it was still a glimpse of the situation.

After all, when he was in Jidong Prefecture before, let alone Baichi City, even in the prefecture city, it was difficult to see figures in the Nie Kong Realm in the city.

At the same time, Lin Yang also learned that with his current cultivation in the mid-stage of the Nie Kong Realm, it would not be a big problem to settle down in a place like Bi Xia City.

The mid-stage of the Nie Kong Realm could be considered an expert even in Bi Xia City.

There were plenty of forces trying to recruit them.

It was just that there were many forces in Bi Xia City, and they were intricate and complex, so he couldn't choose easily.

Of course, Lin Yang was not in a hurry.

His heart was more inclined to follow the Zhao family back to Xiwu City to have a look later.

Just as Zhao Hu said, Xiwu City was the human race's own territory.

Unless he had no choice, he would still prefer to go back to Xiwu City.

Thinking about this, Lin Yang returned to the entrance of the restaurant.

Just as he was about to go in, a low voice suddenly came from beside him: This lord, you have worked hard along the way. Do you want to please your body and mind and relax a bit? The Drunk Spring Pavilion has new people, which will surely make you return satisfied.

Lin Yang's footsteps paused slightly, and he looked over.

The person speaking to him was a young man with a cultivation level of the seventh or eighth level of the Dao Above. Seeing him turn his head, he gave him a smiling face.

Lin Yang was a little suspicious: Are you talking to me?

Yes, my lord. The young man nodded repeatedly, with some fawning.

What do you mean by what you just said? Lin Yang was a little strange.

As soon as these words came out, the young man was obviously stunned for a moment, but quickly continued:

My lord, please forgive me. The Drunk Spring Pavilion has a new batch of Gu Xu Clan dancing girls, and a banquet will be held tonight.

Lin Yang frowned at first, but then understood.

That Drunk Spring Pavilion was probably not a proper place.

Then he shook his head to show no interest.

The young man didn't say much, bowed to him, and went to find someone else.

Lin Yang returned to his room and was about to cultivate for a while, but the door was soon knocked.

It was Zhao Hu.

Lin Yang opened the door and looked at Zhao Hu: Brother Zhao Hu, are you done with your business?

Zhao Hu nodded and smiled: Brother Lin Yang, if you have nothing to do, I will take you to a good place, I guarantee you have never seen it before.

A good place? What good place? Lin Yang was a little surprised.

You'll know when you get there. Zhao Hu didn't say much, just chuckled.

Seeing this, Lin Yang didn't ask any more questions and followed Zhao Hu out of the restaurant.

Then, they walked and turned, going further and further into the remote areas.

Finally, they stopped in front of a quiet courtyard.

Da, da, da.

Zhao Hu knocked on the courtyard door, and the door opened from the inside.

Zhao Hu stepped in directly.

Lin Yang followed closely behind.

Once inside, the scene before his eyes was brand new.

The courtyard actually had a different world inside, forming a small world of its own.

Pavilions and towers, lanterns flickering.

Not as quiet as the outside, but extremely lively.

Zhao Hu walked towards the largest pavilion.

Vaguely, it could be seen that the hall of the pavilion was almost full of people.

In the center of the hall, there was a high platform.

On the high platform, red silk covered the ground, and flower petals of various colors were scattered.

More than a dozen graceful dancing girls, with veils covering their faces and wearing thin gauze dresses, stood side by side with their hands held, seemingly waiting for something.

This is...? Lin Yang was stunned.

Zhao Hu chuckled again: Brother Lin Yang, this is the Drunk Spring Pavilion. A spring night is worth a thousand gold, understand?

...Drunk Spring Pavilion? Lin Yang's eyes were strange. Wasn't this the place the young man mentioned when he returned to the restaurant earlier?

So this place really was a place of pleasure!

He told Zhao Hu about meeting the young man earlier.

After listening, Zhao Hu smiled and said: Those are people from the Drunk Spring Pavilion, it's a means of soliciting customers. They often wander around some restaurants, specifically pulling in human customers. The Drunk Spring Pavilion has many Gu Xu Clan beauties, which some of our human cultivators really like, so this is an industry.

After a pause, Zhao Hu added: In Xiwu City, there are also similar places.

Lin Yang understood immediately.

He looked at Zhao Hu with a strange expression: Brother Zhao Hu, you seem quite familiar with the road. It seems you haven't come here less.

Zhao Hu said nonchalantly: I have indeed been here a few times, but it's just to watch the fun. Today there is a new batch of Gu Xu Clan beauties, so I'm here to see something fresh.

Of course, Brother Lin Yang, this is your first time here, you can consider picking one to try something fresh. The Gu Xu clansmen are handsome, and the women are even more so. Although they don't intermarry much with us, you can enjoy it here. This batch of newcomers is guaranteed to be perfect virgins.

...

Lin Yang didn't speak.

Isn't this just prostitution?

He was not that kind of person!

He glanced at the full house of guests, all of whom were human cultivators.

Are you sure it's okay to do this in the territory of the Gu Xu Clan? Lin Yang was a little doubtful.

What could happen? It's not like they are forced to come. Zhao Hu waved his hand, The Drunk Spring Pavilion has people behind it, no need to worry.

Lin Yang was speechless.
