Chapter 350: Bamboo Shoots of Thunder Bamboo (Second update, please vote)
After those gold-eating bugs finished eating the colorful grass, they began to devour each other, and soon their numbers dropped from hundreds to dozens.
Perhaps it was because those colorful grasses were cultivated by Xiao Feng using the towering fortune dew into thousand-year-old elixirs, and the medicinal power contained in them was relatively sufficient, so the number of eggs laid by those gold-eating insects also increased a lot.
Each gold-eating beetle produced thousands of eggs, and in the end the total number of all the eggs reached an astonishing 200,000+.
The color of those insect eggs was very strange, becoming half gold and half silver. It was obvious that the gold-eating insects hatched from them would definitely be more powerful than the silver gold-eating insects.
……
a few days later
"call out--"
I saw a ray of golden light shooting out from the distant sky and stopping over the sea near Tianxing City.
As the golden light slowly dissipated, a tall and slender figure was revealed. It was Xiao Feng who came from Xiaohuan Island.
Looking at the huge Tianxing City in the distance, Xiao Feng couldn't help but reveal a somewhat surprised expression: "It is worthy of being the largest city in Chaos Star Sea, it is really huge!"
Unlike ordinary cities, the area of Tianxing City directly covers the entire Tianxing Island.
The diameter of Tianxing Island is thousands of kilometers. It would be more appropriate to call it a small continent rather than an island.
The main body of Tianxing City is not built on flat ground, but is based on a giant mountain that towers into the clouds in the center of the island, and is built in spiral circles on its surface.
At the bottom of the giant mountain are rows of various buildings, extending all the way to the edge of the island with almost no gaps.
At the outermost edge of Tianxing Island, there is a circle of stone walls that are dozens of feet high, surrounding the entire Tianxing City.
On the endless circle of stone walls, there is a gate every ten miles to facilitate the residents and outsiders in the city to enter and exit.
If a foreign cultivator like Xiao Feng wants to enter Tianxing City, he needs to pay a certain amount of spirit stones and purchase a spirit ring that can prove his identity.
The styles of those spirit rings are similar to those of rings, and are further divided into blue spirit rings and red spirit rings.
The blue spiritual ring is a temporary residence certificate, which only requires the payment of three low-grade spiritual stones. However, the blue spiritual light on it can only last for seven days.
When the time is up, the blue spirit ring will go out, and the wearer will have no choice but to leave Tianxing City or go to the city gate to exchange for a new spirit ring.
The red spirit ring is proof of permanent residence, and can be used to identify the owner by dropping blood, so there is no need to worry about it being snatched away by others. However, it does require the payment of 800 low-grade spirit stones.
Xiao Feng directly bought a red spirit ring, wore it on the index finger of his left hand, and walked into Tianxing City with the four-way step.
The street behind the city gate was not very wide, and could barely accommodate two carriages running side by side.
The reason for this situation is, on the one hand, because every inch of land in Tianxing City is valuable, and on the other hand, because the area near the city gate is the area with the thinnest spiritual energy on Tianxing Island, and it is also the place where mortals live.
Since the area of Tianxing City is too large, there is no no-fly zone formation set up in the city.
There are many monks in the sky, flying on flying magic weapons, so the streets near the city gate naturally do not need to be built too wide.
"Master, wait a minute!" Just as Xiao Feng took out a white jade flying boat and prepared to head for the giant mountain in the center of Tianxing City, a male voice suddenly came from the side of the street, followed by a middle-aged man with dark skin, who ran over with a smile on his face.
"Is there anything you need?"
"My name is Wang San, and I was born and raised in Tianxing City."
The middle-aged man smiled and explained, "If I am not mistaken, this should be the first time for the Immortal Master to come to Tianxing City, and he must be very unfamiliar with the situation in the city.
I can be the Immortal Master's guide for a day, which should save the Immortal Master a lot of trouble. Afterwards, the Immortal Master will just need me to reward him with a spiritual stone."
"Let's go then!"
After Xiao Feng finished speaking, he raised his hand and waved it, taking Wang Sanfei to the white jade flying boat, and flew towards the central area of Tianxing City.
With Wang San's detailed introduction, Xiao Feng quickly had a general understanding of the situation in Tianxing City.
The giant mountain located in the center of Tianxing City is called the "Holy Mountain" by the residents of the city. It is a natural spiritual vein.
There is abundant spiritual energy on the holy mountain, and the closer to the top of the mountain, the higher the concentration of spiritual energy.
The entire holy mountain is divided into eighty-one layers, with each circle from bottom to top constituting one layer.
The first fifty floors are open to outside cultivators. As long as they have spirit stones, they can rent the houses or caves there and use them as places for cultivation. However, only cultivators within the Star Palace are qualified to live in the last thirty floors.
As for the topmost floor, it is also called the "Holy Palace". It is where the two saints of Tianxing live, and outsiders are strictly prohibited from entering.
Apart from the most famous holy mountain in the city, the second place that interested Xiao Feng was naturally the Tianxing City Market.
Since Wang San is just a mortal, he only knows the location of the Tianxing City market, but is not clear about the specific situation inside the market.
Under Wang San's guidance, Xiao Feng controlled the white jade flying boat to the gate of Tianxing City Market, and then gave Wang San a low-grade spirit stone and let him leave first.
Tianxing City is known as the "largest city in the Chaos Star Sea". The market town in the city is naturally extraordinary. Every day, many treasures from all over the Chaos Star Sea pour into this place.
Xiao Feng first asked the [Lord God's Light Ball] to scan all the treasure data in the Tianxing City Market, and then according to the locations of the treasures scanned by the [Lord God's Light Ball], he began to go door-to-door to purchase the treasures he liked.
Among the treasures purchased by Xiao Feng, many were passed down from ancient times.
If it weren't for the fact that the [Lord God's Light Ball] had marked out their value information, Xiao Feng would have found it difficult to recognize the origins of those treasures, and the sellers of those treasures were naturally no exception, which allowed him to take the opportunity to pick up a lot of big bargains.
For example, bamboo shoots of Tianlei Bamboo, seeds of Soul-Nourishing Tree, and some refining materials from ancient times.
The most valuable treasure among them should be the palm-sized bamboo shoot of Tianlei Bamboo.
Tianlei Bamboo is one of the three great sacred trees in ancient times. The ten thousand year old Tianlei Bamboo is also known as the "Golden Thunder Bamboo" and can release light golden divine thunder to ward off evil spirits.
In addition, the leaves of the Golden Thunder Bamboo are also very precious. Not only can they be used to refine the Golden Gang Demon-Destroying Thunder, which can help Mahayana cultivators deal with extraterritorial demons, but they can also be eaten by spiritual insects, causing them to undergo benign mutations.
To be honest, Xiao Feng didn't expect that he would be able to purchase bamboo shoots of Tianlei Bamboo. After all, this thing is almost extinct in the human world.
