Chapter 1158: Beishan City

After everyone had left, only Ou Yangming and the few Starry Sky Hunters were left on the giant flying boat.

The bald men had a place to stay in the city ahead. They invited Ou Yangming to go with them, but he refused.

They had only met by chance, and Ou Yangming did not want to have too much contact with them. He was just a passing guest here.

Beishan City was only a small city at the border. It was somewhat famous because it was one of the gateways to the Zhenwu Continent.

During the few months on the giant flying boat, after listening to what the others say, Ou Yangming had gained a simple understanding of the Zhenwu Continent.

The Zhenwu Continent was massive. From the outside, it seemed to be boundless. It was surrounded by chaos. No one had ever seen the border of the continent.

There were many sects on the continent. The sects ruled this boundless continent. There were many cities under them.

The cities also had different levels. They were evaluated according to their sizes, the strengths of the sects behind them, and many other factors.

They were divided into the Soldier-level Cities, the General-level Main Cities, and the Supreme Immortal Cities.

The populations of the Soldier-level Cities were relatively small. The sects behind them were usually second-rate or third-rate. Such cities were the most common on the Zhenwu Continent. They could be seen everywhere.

General-grade main cities were extremely rare. They had to rely on first-rate sects. There were also many other conditions that needed to be met before they could be created. They were rare, by which there were only at most 10 of them in the continent.

Above them were the Supreme Immortal Cities. Based on their names, it was clear that the Immortal Cities had supreme statuses on the Zhenwu Continent. There were only 3 Supreme Immortal Cities on the entire continent.

Almost half of the elites of the continent were gathered in the Immortal Cities. The 3 top sects behind them were also the core strength of the Humans.

The many sects on the Zhenwu Continent had almost taken over the entire human race.

It was not far to get to Beishan City from the island. Before Ou Yangming entered the city, he found a quiet place and let Lil’ Red out.

After breaking through to a Ruler, Lil’ Red’s body had grown quite a bit. He had been hiding in the poisonous pill’s world for a long time. Now that they had left the dangerous place, there was no need for him to continue staying inside.

“Shrink your body a bit.” Ou Yangming looked around before he said.

Lil’ Red was from the Phoenixes. After all, this was the Humans’ territory. It would be better not to expose his identity. Although the Humans and the Phoenixes did not have any enmity, Lil’ Red would be surrounded if he appeared in the crowd.

The fiery red feathers on Lil’ Red’s body shook, and his body shrunk to the size of a palm.

He looked like a red sparrow. No one would associate him with the arrogant Phoenixes.

After shrinking, Lil’ Red flew to Ou Yangming’s shoulder.

Lil’ Red looked around with a puzzled look and asked, “Lil’ Ming, where’s this place?”

He felt that his surroundings were strange. The dense spiritual Qi of the universe was almost comparable to that of the Phoenxies’ main star.

Ou Yangming replied, “This is the Zhenwu Continent. You should know this place.”

Lil’ Red had lived in the Great Wide World for a long time. Naturally, he knew about this continent.

This place was the core of the Humans. All the top sects had gathered here.

“Lil’ Ming, what are you doing here?” Lil’ Red asked.

Ou Yangming looked at the city in the distance and said, “I’m looking for an immortal medicine. I heard that it’s in the Mystic Sky Sect.”

“The Mystic Sky Sect!”

After hearing the name, Lil’ Red looked serious. “Lil’ Ming, is that immortal medicine very important? The Mystic Sky Sect is very powerful. We mustn’t have any conflicts with them.”

Lil’ Red was a little anxious. He had heard of the terrifying aspects of the Mystic Sky Sect.

Ou Yangming smiled slightly. “That immortal medicine is very important to me. It concerns whether or not I can take revenge in the future. That said, you don’t have to be agitated. I didn’t say that we must have a conflict with them. What if they insist on gifting it to me?”

Lil’ Red rolled his eyes. He thought that Ou Yangming was joking. Even the Phoenixes had equal relations with the Mystic Sky Sect. It would be difficult to make them lower their heads.

Ou Yangming did not plan to dwell on this issue. He stood up and left. “Let’s go to the city ahead first. The journey to the Mystic Sky Sect is a long way. I plan to buy some materials to refine a flying boat.”

“You don’t seem to know how to refine a flying boat,” Lil’ Red ridiculed him.

“Just because I don’t know how to, does it mean that I can’t learn it?” Ou Yangming asked. The scenery around them quickly changed and in the blink of an eye, they had arrived below the city wall.

“Flying isn’t allowed in the city!”

Before they got close to Beishan City, a cold shout came from the top.

Ou Yangming quickly landed on the ground. There was actually such a rule. No wonder he did not see anyone fly in directly.

Nothing could be accomplished without rules. Every city had its unique rules. This was the expression of the ruler’s wisdom. Of course, the rules were not absolute, unless one had the ability to break the rules. After becoming powerful, one could become the rule maker.

If one did not have the strength as a prerequisite, one must follow the rules obediently.

The general on the city wall saw that Ou Yangming acted conscientiously, so he stopped paying attention to the young fellow. He was not surprised. Every year, many people would come from outer space, and there were many people among them who did not know the rules.

It would be fine if those people cooperated but if they did not, the general would use the sword hanging on his waist. His sword had killed more than a dozen people who did not follow the rules.

Ou Yangming had just arrived, so he naturally did not want to break any rules. He landed on the ground and looked around.

The city wall was very tall as it was a few hundred meters away from the ground. There were many formations on the wall.

A small river could be seen ahead. The river was so deep that one could not see the bottom. Even a feather would fall straight into it.

Above it was a wooden bridge. Everyone who entered the city had to pass through the bridge.

“The entrance fee is 100 middle-grade spirit coins.”

The guard guarding the gate glanced at Lil’ Red, who was on Ou Yangming’s shoulder, and said mechanically.

It was worth noting that Beishan city was a small place at the border, and the entrance fees were a considerable income for the city’s manager.

100 middle-grade spirit coins were only equivalent to 1 high-grade spirit coin. Ou Yangming took out one from his Long Feather Band and handed it over.

After handing over the money, one could see the scene in the city. Beishan city was not big, but it was very lively.

In the streets and the alleys, there were all kinds of places to live and enjoy.

The streets were filled with people, and the market was also very lively. In the city, Ou Yangming did not see many powerhouses.

Most of the people were only Spiritualists. There were very few Venerable Ones, and Ou Yangming did not see a single Ruler.

This was the normal state of the Great Wide World. It could not be compared to the people on the giant flying boat. Those who could leave the continent were elites.

Ou Yangming had seen many ordinary people who were not even Spiritualists. They did the simplest but heavy work, and they were the lowliest people in the city.

“Lil’ Ming, I want to eat candied haws.” Lil’ Red was attracted to an old man selling candied haws.

On the stall next to the old man, there were dozens of candied haws. They were big and round, and they looked delicious.

Naturally, Ou Yangming would not refuse Lil’ Red’s request. He walked over and asked, “How much is a stick of candied haws?”

The old man saw that business had arrived, so he answered with a smile, “2 low-grade spirit coins.”

“Give me 2 sticks!”

Ou Yangming took out a high-grade spirit coin and threw it over.

Spirit coins were the currency traded in the Great Wide World Ou Yangming’s spirit coins were all high-grade ones, which he had exchanged from Long Er. After deducting his expenses on the way, he had around 300 coins left.

The old man held the high-grade spirit coin, and his old palm was slightly trembling. “Sir, I don’t have that many spirit coins for you.

This high-grade spirit coin was equivalent to 10,000 low-grade spirit coins. If one used it to buy candied haws, one could buy up to 5,000 of them.

It was not like in the starry sky. In small cities, only low-grade and middle-grade spirit coins were used to trade.

“Keep the change.”

Ou Yangming waved his hand generously. It was just a high-grade spirit coin, so it was not a big deal.

At a different level, one’s horizons were naturally different. Ou Yangming did not understand what this high-grade spirit coin represented in the eyes of ordinary people.

Ordinary people might not even be able to earn a single high-grade spirit coin even after years of hard work.

“Thank you, sir. Thank you.” The old man looked ecstatic. As he thanked Ou Yangming, he took out 2 of the biggest sticks from the stall and handed them to the young fellow.

Ou Yangming gave one of the candied haws to Lil’ Red. The little red bird had become very small, but he was still holding the stick steadily.

The people on the street saw a strange scene. A little red bird the size of a palm was standing on the shoulder of a young fellow. It was holding a stick of candied haws that was bigger than itself and eating it in small bites.

No matter how one looked, this was a little strange.

“Move aside, move aside!”

Ou Yangming was biting the fruit in his mouth when he suddenly heard a cold shout coming from the front.

A few black steeds were galloping over from afar.

The people on the road hurriedly dodged. Those who did not have time to dodge were knocked flying and spat out blood. They were heavily injured.

Those black horses were spirit beasts, and their strengths were shocking. Ou Yangming frowned and took a step back to the side of the road.

After a while, the steeds galloped over.

On the 2 black steeds at the front were a red-clothed lady and a pale-faced young man.

“Young Lady Aoshuang, look over there.”

The young master of a rich family noticed the red bird on Ou Yangming’s shoulder. The little red body holding a stick of candied fruits looked very funny.

As such, the red-clothed lady turned her head, and her eyes lit up. Her horse neighed and stopped beside Ou Yangming.

“Pretty boy, give me the little bird on your shoulder!”

Ou Yangming frowned. He raised his head and glanced at the young people on the horses.

Lil’ Red did not look good either. When did he become a little bird? He was a great phoenix. Even he was not satisfied with how Big Yellow addressed him, let alone a few humans.

“Princess, look, that little bird seems to be angry.”

The young master at the side looked at Lil’ Red’s humanized behavior and commented with a laugh.
