The style of the Southern Wasteland City was completely different from that of the Center State.
Most of the houses and buildings in the Center State were exquisite and gorgeous, revealing a solemn and refined aura.
Most of the palaces and buildings in the Southern Wasteland City were rough in appearance, with ancient and strange shapes, revealing a trace of wild and unruly temperament.
Even the clothes of the civilians in the city were mostly made from the furs of beasts.
Many men were wearing boots and shorts made of animal skin, short coats and waistcoats made of animal skin. Around their necks and wrists, there were also bead chains made of animal bones and animal teeth.
The number of warriors in the Southern Wasteland City was obviously more than that of ordinary cities.
Not only were most of the men carrying swords and sabers, but even the seemingly charming women were also carrying swords or short sabers on their backs.
Ji Tianxing strolled in the city for half an hour, using his soul sense to monitor the surrounding movements, listening to the conversations of the people, and silently collecting information.
He gradually understood that the Southern Wasteland City was not only populated by local people, but also many warriors from all over the world.
Most of these warriors were rangers and adventurers, who wanted to explore the Southern Wasteland Swamp to look for treasures, or to hunt demon beasts and collect elixirs.
Although the Southern Wasteland Swamp was very dangerous, danger often coexisted with opportunity.
There were many ancient relics in the Southern Wasteland Swamp, which hid the cave residences of the predecessors, or some secret treasures.
In addition, there were many ferocious beasts, spiritual flowers, rare herbs, and mineral resources.
If one could obtain these things, they could be exchanged for spirit stones and cultivation resources.
Ji Tianxing and Ji Ke strolled around the city twice, and had a general understanding of the Southern Wasteland City. Then, they found an inn in the city and temporarily stayed there.
This inn was located in the center of the city, and was built in a very luxurious style. Not only did it have a palace, but it also had a spacious courtyard.
There were hundreds of guests in the inn, most of whom were adventurers from all over the world.
Most of these adventurers were traveling in groups, and they were quite cautious in their actions and words.
After Ji Tianxing and Ji Ke checked in, they rested in their respective rooms, silently meditating to restore their strength.
The night passed quickly.
The next morning, Ji Tianxing's mental state had recovered a lot. He ended his meditation and walked out of the room.
He went downstairs to the lobby on the first floor and saw that it was empty. There were only a few workers wiping the tables and chairs.
A middle-aged man wearing a square scarf hat and a short coat made of animal skin was sitting at the counter, dozing off.
The white-haired man was the innkeeper of the inn.
Ji Tianxing walked to the front of the counter and asked, "Shopkeeper, do you know who is the most well-informed person in the Southern Wasteland City? I want to get some information. "
The shopkeeper opened his sleepy eyes and glanced at him. Slowly, he said, "What information? If you have any information about the Great Swamp of the Southern Wasteland, you can look for Mister Hu. "
"Mr. Hu? Where should I go to find him? "Ji Tianxing raised his eyebrows.
The shopkeeper said with a smile, "Mister Hu lives in the Four Quarters House. You can go there to find him. He is a well-known know-it-all in the city, and he is especially knowledgeable about the Great Swamp of the Southern Wasteland.
However, the number of people who want to find him for information is as many as the carps crossing the river. Young Master, you'd better prepare a generous gift to get what you want. "
"Thank you." Ji Tianxing nodded. Two spirit stones appeared in his palm out of thin air, and he put them on the counter.
The shopkeeper's smile became more and more brilliant. He put away the spirit stones with a smile and added, "Mister Hu and I are old friends. Young Master, after you go there, you can report my name as Shopkeeper Niu. It will save you a lot of time waiting in line."
"I have to wait in line to get information? Are there really so many people looking for him? "Ji Tianxing frowned slightly and muttered in his heart.
But he didn't say anything. He nodded to Shopkeeper Niu and turned around to leave the lobby.
He casually asked around on the street and found out the address of the Four Quarters House. He then rushed over as fast as the wind.
Half an hour later, he passed through a clean and tidy street. He walked to the end of the street and arrived in front of the gate of a courtyard.
The courtyard wasn't big, but it was dignified and grand.
There were stone sculptures of a Qilin and a lion on both sides of the gate. It was very imposing.
There was a red sandalwood signboard above the gate frame. The words' Four Quarters House 'were written in dark gold. It had a bit of an ancient charm.
Four tall and sturdy bodyguards were guarding the gate. They had treasured sabers hanging from their waists, and their bodies emitted a valiant aura.
Ji Tianxing stepped through the gate and entered the courtyard. He saw more than ten martial artists in a line, waiting in front of the lobby.
The lobby's gate was tightly shut. It was obvious that Mister Hu hadn't arrived yet and hadn't started accepting business.
Ji Tianxing naturally wouldn't line up. He found a servant in the courtyard and told him that he was introduced by Shopkeeper Niu.
The servant immediately understood and led him away from the side door. They entered the courtyard behind the lobby.
The backyard wasn't big, but it was clean and secluded.
There was a thirty-zhang-tall parasol tree in the courtyard. Its lush branches and leaves almost covered the entire courtyard.
There was a stone table and a few stone stools under the tree. A white-bearded and white-haired old man in a blue robe sat there, leisurely sipping tea.
The blue-robed old man had a thin figure. He had a goatee on his chin and a pair of eyes as sharp as a hawk's.
The servant led Ji Tianxing to the tree and bowed to the blue-robed old man. "Master, this young master is a guest introduced by Shopkeeper Niu."
After saying that, the servant introduced him to Ji Tianxing. "Young master, this is our master, Mister Hu."
Ji Tianxing nodded at Big Mister Hu as a form of greeting.
Mister Hu pointed to the stone stools in front of him and smiled. "Young master, please sit."
Ji Tianxing didn't stand on ceremony and sat down on the stone stools opposite him.
Mister Hu waved his hand and indicated for the servant to withdraw. Then he poured a cup of spirit tea for Ji Tianxing.
Ji Tianxing took a sip of the spirit tea and said, "Mister Hu, I want to inquire about the Southern Wasteland Great Lake."
Mister Hu stroked his beard and smiled. "Young master, this old man sees that you have an extraordinary appearance and are in high spirits. You must be a dragon among men.
If this old man didn't guess incorrectly, young master should want to enter the Southern Wasteland Great Lake to explore the ruins of the cave and find the lost secret treasure, right? "
Seeing that Ji Tianxing didn't deny it, he continued. "Young master, this old man has an unwritten rule here. I hope you can understand.
Young master, please take out the price you are willing to pay. One hundred or three hundred spirit stones are fine. Place them on the stone table.
If young master has any doubts, just ask this old man. Every time this old man answers a question, I will collect the corresponding spirit stones. "
Hearing Mister Hu's words, Ji Tianxing's expression didn't change. However, in his heart, he was secretly cursing. "This old fox is really cunning!
There are clearly people lining up in the front yard to ask for information, but he avoided meeting them. It's most likely because he dislikes those people for not being able to pay a high price.
Otherwise, those people lining up are all fake. They are all people that Mister Hu found to pretend to be people to show his ability.
When he meets a seemingly generous person like me, he opens his mouth like a lion and wants to rip me off.
