This was the very first time for Ji Hao to walk into Pu Ban City.
This place was completely different from what he had imagined. There were no magnificent palaces in this place, neither were there tightly guarded, tall walls. Except for the residential cities built by some powerful clans from the four wastelands, such as the Ten Sun Country, for their clansmen, the rest of this place was still natural.
The road, which was paved with green flagstones, was around six zhang wide, gently extending forward along with the natural terrain.
The roads branched off one after another, leading to hills, woods, rivers and valleys. At the foot of those hills, in the woods, and by the sides of the rivers, Ji Hao could see the eaves of some buildings, or a few stone houses surrounding a small yard.
The buildings here were sparse, and they were placed according to the natural topography. People from the same clan would stay closer to each other, while people from different clans would stay further away from each other.
In Ji Hao's eyes, Pu Ban City was more like a collection of villages. It was like a gigantic hand of a god had randomly grabbed thousands of villages, then thrown them onto the fertile land of Pu Ban City. These villages landed on the ground, and that was how Pu Ban City came into being.
Quack, quack, quack! A large group of at least three-thousand green ducks, who were so fat that they couldn't even walk, swaggered over along the road. The leader of the group proudly cawed towards Ji Hao for a few times, and even tried to reach its head out, trying to peck Ji Hao.
Ji Hao had no choice but to step away from the road and stand in a waist-deep bush by the roadside.
Large groups of fat ducks swayed their huge butts and slowly walked over. A few female ducks suddenly raised their butts and struggled hard in the grass when they walked past Ji Hao. Instantly, a few piping hot green duck eggs fell into the grass.
"Eh!" Ji Hao smilingly reached out his hand and was about to grab a few green eggs to cook later. Suddenly, a pair of slim dogs darted over while wagging their tails. They nimbly licked the eggs with their tongues and held them in their mouths, after which, a small white donkey quickly ran over with a large basket carried on its back.
The two dogs gently put the duck eggs into the basket carried on the back of the white donkey, then reached out their long and soft tongues and intimately licked Ji Hao's palms, leaving a hot smell of duck dung on Ji Hao's palms.
"Good dogs, really good dogs!" Ji Hao rolled his eyes and affectionately rubbed the necks of the two dogs with his hands. They were really good dogs. The two slender dogs were over six feet long. Their fur was glossy and glossy, and the muscles under their thin skin bulged smoothly and powerfully.
What made Ji Hao even more speechless was that there were more than ten spots on the bodies of these two big dogs that were emitting surging Blood Essence auras. These two dogs were both Senior Magus level beasts, and the number of Magus Acupoints they had awakened was double of Ji Hao's.
The two thin dogs seemed to like the natural and harmonious smell of Ji Hao. They stuck close to Ji Hao, rubbing their necks against Ji Hao's legs. The little donkey was calmly standing beside Ji Hao. It reached its long tongue into the bushes, rolled a large handful of alfalfa and a bunch of white tongue orchids into its mouth, and started chewing slowly.
"Hehe, little kid, Big Flower and Little Flower like you very much." An elderly man, who was wearing a straw raincoat and a bamboo hat, with a fish basket tied around his waist, slowly walked over, following behind the flock of ducks. The gentle breeze and fine rain fell on his body. The elderly man's silhouette seemed to have merged with this beautiful landscape, becoming a beautiful ink painting.
"I like them too." Ji Hao smilingly bowed to the elderly man. The two dogs raised by this elderly man were both Senior Magus level beasts, one could easily imagine how powerful this elderly man was.
"Hm, Big Flower and Little Flower, young people who are willing to take the initiative to be intimate with them are all good kids." The elderly man smilingly took out a cooked yam-like tuber from his sleeve and handed it to Ji Hao, then said, "Not like some kids who were chased by them and bitten by them, and even nearly had their butts bitten off."
Ji Hao took over the tuber, which was still warm, and watched the elderly man walk away slowly with the two dogs, a donkey and a large flock of ducks, with his hands held behind his back. Abruptly, Ji Hao stood on his tiptoes and asked, "Old man, where is Marquis Chong Si Xi's home?"
The elderly man paused, turned his head around, pointed at the front of the flagstone road and said smilingly, "Go forward, walk for another three-hundred miles, pass by twelve villages, and that is his home. Many dragon-skin vegetables grow there. Hm, he hasn't gone out these few days. "
Ji Hao thanked the elderly man, then quickly rushed forward along the flagstone road. A distance of three-hundred miles, to ordinary people, would take two days and two nights to walk, but to Senior Magi, it would only take a short while.
Ji Hao walked past a few more mountains, saw a few more sceneries, and greeted a few groups of people on the road. While walking, Ji Hao swallowed the warm tuber. After swallowing the one-foot-long tuber, the two multicolored flames, which had already been transferred to Ji Hao's Magus Acupoint in his Dantian, silently expanded by a hundred percent. At the same time, a gentle and soft stream of power circulated inside Ji Hao's body, and woke up a few more Magus Acupoints.
Taking a slight breath, eighteen spheres of fiery light emerged from Ji Hao's upper body.
Even Ji Hao was startled by this. He turned his head around and glanced at the flagstone road, which was covered by the misty rain. Pu Ban City was indeed a place full of powerful people. An old man, who had been herding ducks with a dog and a donkey, had actually given Ji Hao such a precious treasure.
"Is this his … lunch?" What was even more unacceptable to Ji Hao was that the elderly man had been carrying this tuber with him all the time. Obviously, this tuber was only treating it as a daily food! A daily food of the elderly man could help Ji Hao, who was a Senior Magus with all of his meridians awakened, to wake up nearly ten more Magus Acupoints. For ordinary Senior Magi, this tuber could help them wake up at least two to three hundred Magus Acupoints.
"Old freak!" Murmuring to himself, Ji Hao continued walking along the flagstone path. He quickly walked across a bridge, which was miles wide, over a river. In front of him, he saw a cottage, which had a thatched roof and mud walls, in a mountain cave.
On the north side of the cottage was a row of five rooms, and on the east and west sides of the cottage were three rooms, which served as a kitchen and a woodshed. In the yard, tens of tall and strong reed chickens had been lowering their heads and pecking their food. Behind the cottage and on the left and right sides of the cottage were two to three hundred acres of farmlands, which were planted with dragon-skin vegetables, which looked like Chinese cabbages, but had golden dragon scales on the leaves.
A tall and sturdy man, who had a square face and red skin, had been carefully weeding in the farmland with a hoe held in his hand. Occasionally, he would grab a bug from the dragon-skin vegetables and flick his fingers. The bug would be sent hundreds of zhang away, directly landing in the yard, after which, the tens of reed chickens would start fighting over it.
A few large dogs with shiny and shiny furs were lying in front of the cottage, in a daze. Seeing Ji Hao walking over, they shook their heads and wagged their tails, stood up and barked a few times, neither too loudly nor too softly.
Ji Hao slightly bowed towards the man and said loudly, "I am Ji Hao, an apprentice of the Magi Palace. I am here to see Marquis Chong, Si Xi."
