Talisman Emperor
Chapter 708 Great Blaze City
Blaze City, an extremely flourishing and prosperous large city in Dark Reverie, and Heavenly Insight Palace were located beside him.
The Heavenly Insight Palace was a great power that only recruited female disciples. Although it was not ranked among the 10 great immortal sects, its strength could not be underestimated, and it was equivalent to 10 great immortal sects in terms of reputation and status.
This year happened to be the recruitment period of the Heavenly Insight Palace that occurred one every ten years, and it attracted countless gazes of strength from Dark Reverie. Moreover, many young women from all over came after hearing the news.
As such, Blaze City looked even more crowded than before. Beautiful young women wearing beautiful dresses could be seen on the clean and spacious streets, and they were like many beautiful landscapes that attracted the attention of others.
Not only that, many young and valiant geniuses from all over rushed to watch this grand event of a myriad of flowers blooming in one place.
After all, every time the Heavenly Insight Palace opened its doors to recruit disciples, an extremely amazing group of female geniuses with extraordinary natural talent would appear.
These young women had extraordinary natural talents, incredible bodies, and every single one of them was charming and beautiful. There is no shortage of peerless beautiful girls who can destroy a country.
How could a great event where beauty gathered like clouds in the sky not attract people?
Even until most young men consider this grand event as a 'beauty contest' long ago. They all wished for nothing more than to search for the Dao Companion among these beauties so that they could become like birds nesting and flying together, cultivating and enjoying happiness.
As time passed, this had become a major event in the cultivation world that people liked to talk about, and every time this came, there would be many cultivators making the journey.
…
500km outside Blaze City was a mountain forest that rose and descended continuously, and they were steep and vast without limits. Although there was no shortage of ferocious demonic beasts within it, there were many spirit medicines growing within it as well.
Those who are in a favorable position get a special advantage. The medicinal shops and merchants in Blaze City had mostly sent their own teams to enter the mountains and collect medicinal herbs for sale.
At this moment, before the Bloodcrystal Tree in the depths of the forest was a frail young man who lay carefully on the ground. His eyes narrowed as he stared fixedly at the side of the Bloodcrystal Tree. Where his gaze descended was the Viridi Herb which was completely jade green, and exuded a refreshing scent that assaulted the nose.
The young man was named Hong San, and he was the medicine collector for the Hanging Pot Medicine Store Blaze City. His status was no different from that of servants and servants, and the situation was just as difficult.
But despite his difficult life, he never abandoned his dream of cultivating. He understood so much when he was young that if he wanted to complete his dream, then he would have to spend more hard work and sweat!
Most importantly, no matter how much despair he felt, he would absolutely not give up just like that!
If a man gives up his dream, then what is the difference between a man and a cattle waiting for death on a farm?
Hong San really worked hard, and he fulfilled the task on their terms every time he went to take the medicine, so he received some rewards as well.
Unfortunately, the spirit medicines in the mountain forest had started to sharply decrease lately, and the spirit medicines that could be found easily in the past had been fully collected by now, now, so he could only move into the depths of the forest to get some.
However, the deeper it means the greater the danger faced!
Hong San was only in the Innate Realm now, so perhaps he could easily deal with ordinary demonic beasts, but as long as those demonic beasts were a little more formidable, then he would not be able to handle them.
Just like now. Although the Viridi Herb was right before her eyes, yet she did not dare to move in a hurry because the Blackiron Striped Snake was near the potion!
This demonic beast was only chopsticks thick and 30m long, but its strength was staggering, and even Violet Palace Realm cultivators would not be able to survive the encounter with it!
Hong San was confident that he would lose his life here once he was targeted by this poisonous snake, so he really did not dare to move his muscles and held his breath in concentration because he was so afraid of being noticed.
However he did not choose to escape because this Viridi Herb was too precious to him, and it had a shocking value capable of being compared to an earth-level magic treasure. If he could obtain it, then he would quit his job before finding a small sect to pursue his dream.
He had already waited a few years for all of this, so he had only allowed himself to succeed and not fail this time!
Stomp on! Stomp on! Stomp on!
However, right at this moment, a wave of footsteps suddenly sounded from the depths of the forest, and there was a hint of boisterous sound in the midst of these footsteps, it caused it to become an ear piercing in this silent atmosphere.
On the other hand, the Blackiron Striped Snake instantly worried and woke up, and it raised its head while hissing furiously.
Goddamnit!
Why does something like that happen?
Hong San's heart flinched as he was enraged to the point he almost unleashed a series of curses. However, the most terrifying thing for him was that the snake had actually noticed him!
His blood-red, bean-like eyes surged with a brutal and gloomy gleam at this moment, and only his gaze caused Hong San's entire body to tremble.
Under this extremely dangerous situation, Hong San could not help but cry before getting up and running.
Swooshes!
The sound of torn air rang out from behind him, and it was like the sound of his death. It caused Hong San's hair to stand upright, and he didn't need to turn around to find out that the Blackiron Striped Snake was charging towards him.
Could it be ... I will die today?
At this critical moment of life and death, a dream that he had persevered for a long time suddenly flashed through his mind, and a deep wisp of bitterness could not help but gush out from his heart. Cultivation, cultivation, could it be that I have no fate with immortality?
Nah!
Why is!?
An indescribable feeling of anger gushed into his heart and caused Hong San to erupt. He turned around and howled loudly. "Fuck up! Come me! I will kill you even if I die! Kill it! ”The voice revealed aversion and helplessness as it echoed throughout the forest, and shook the leaves on the tree until it pedaled.
"Is ... are you okay?" A clear voice suddenly sounded.
Hm? Could this animal have gained intelligence? It's actually capable of speaking, then wouldn't it be even more terrifying? Hong San was shocked in his heart as his expression turned pale.
But soon after, he suddenly regained consciousness. I guess I'm ... not dead yet?
"Hey, you're really okay, right?" A clear voice sounded once again.
Hong San fully returned to his senses this time, and he opened his eyes. He realized his astonishment that the Blackiron Striped Snake had disappeared, whereas a little girl had instead appeared!
"Me, I'm not dead?" Hong San Murmured. This feeling of escaping death caused him to wish for nothing more than to roar with laughter, but in the end he held back strongly.
The reason is very simple. He realized his astonishment that the beautiful and cute little girl wearing the beast skin was actually holding the Blackiron Striped Snake in her hands!
"soon! Just soon! Quickly put! Do you want to die? It ... "Hong San cried out in shock, but he was silent afterwards as he saw the jade-white fingers of the little girl twisting lightly and breaking the neck of the Blackiron Striped Snake!
"You're so old, yet you're actually still afraid of dead snakes?" The little girl laughed.
Hong San instantly flushed and was extremely embarrassed.
"Oh, take it, it can train your gall." The little girl raised her hand and threw the dead snake as she spoke.
Hong San was instantly frightened to the point of jumping off the ground while crying nonstop.
"Haha!" Waves of loud laughter sounded. Only now did Hong San notice that a group of people had arrived abruptly, and they were a dark mass that numbered at least over 100.
Just like the little girl, they were all wearing rough beast skins, and only the handsome young man in the middle was wearing green clothes, had a tall figure, and seemed to be rather outstanding.
"Xiao Yan, stop playing around." The handsome young man pointed towards the little girl.
"Oh." The little girl threw away before turning around to return to the young man's side.
This group was naturally Chen Xi's group.
They appeared within this forest after they left the Ninth Hell, and they recuperated here for a day and only intended to leave when they met this frail young man who was stricken with panic.
At this moment, Hong San finally heaved a sigh of relief, and felt a long-lost feeling of security. He quickly ran forward and bowed to Chen Xi. "Thank you, Senior, for your help!"
His mind was meticulous, and he noticed from everyone's reaction that this handsome young man was the leader of this group, and his words were the most authoritative.
“Hey, I was the one who saved you. Why don't you thank me? "Said Xiao Yan in a clear voice.
"Thank you .. Thank you ..." Hong San wanted to thank him but did not know how to deal with Xiao Yan. In his eyes, this little girl was only about 10 years old, so he was at a loss how to treat her with respect.
"It's okay, we just lifted one finger." Chen Xi smiled and then said to everyone by her side, "Let's go. There's a town not far from here. Let's take a break there and buy some stuff on the way. "
"A city!" The eyes of the youths lit up, and they could not help but cheer. Along the way, they heard Uncle Chen Xi mention it on many occasions. Supposedly, a smaller city had several hundred thousand people, and a larger city had several tens of millions of people. In addition, there are many shops, restaurants, inns, and so on in the cities.
For these young men who had never come out of the Ninth Hell, everything in the city was so mesmerizing, and it filled them with anticipation.
Hong San was stunned. What's up with these guys? Why did they react so hard to the word city? Could it be that they had never seen the city?
But soon after, he noticed that most of them were wearing rough animal skins, and this looked like a bunch of hicks that never left the mountain …
When he thought up to here, Hong San could not help but be a little comforted in his heart. There are actually all sorts of people in this world.
He unintentionally raised his head and welcomed a gaze that seemed to carry a fake smile staring straight at him. It seemed like it could pierce through one's heart, and it was deep and obstructing. It caused his entire body to be unable to resist the cold and not dare to continue letting his mind run wild.
Not long after, Chen Xi's group left.
Hong San hurriedly collected the Viridi Herb and retrieved the corpse of the Blackiron Striped Snake before chasing, and then he said respectfully, "Senior, have you all entered Blaze City? I've lived there since I was young and I'm very familiar with it. Why not be a guide for you? "
"Oh? Do I need to pay the fee? '' Chen Xi said with a smile.
“Senior saved my simple life, so how can I, Hong San, get paid? It will only make me worse than animals. ”Hong San had a serious expression as he spoke solemnly.
"Alright, then follow by my side." Chen Xi nodded.
"Good! Thank you, Senior, for giving this! ”Face Hong San smiled as he moved quickly to the front of the group and began guiding the way, and he quickly incorporated himself into his new role.
"He was a very intelligent young man who knew to take chances to seek improvement." Meng Wei who had been silent all this time spoke harshly and judged Hong San.
"He's not bad. I will give him payment when we leave this place, "Chen Xi smiled as he raised his deep gaze to look into the distance, and there was a large city standing towering 500 km away.
