After three or four days, Wang Zhong was rather dejected. He was not familiar with the situation here and had spent some money unnecessarily. He was only left with half of the hundred or so Star Coins he had, but he still could not see any hope. In the end, he gritted his teeth and went to a bloody Arena that was advertised. However, before he could explain his intentions, he was thrown out by a tall and burly Titan. Wang Zhong's face was covered in dust. He was not familiar with the situation here.
"Why don't you look at how much meat you have? Go and play somewhere else. Are you trying to ruin the place?"
Wang Zhong had some confidence in rushing over. Over the past few days, he had completely adapted to the environment here and recovered some of his combat power. The effects of his divine cells were definitely powerful and were not completely useless here. However, just now, he had clearly wanted to dodge but was still caught by the other party. It was obvious that the method of using power here was different. The other party had just casually grabbed him, and he could not dodge.
There were bright lights everywhere, but there was no place for him to stay. Wang Zhong missed Simba a little. Fortunately, the tunnel was not harmful to Simba, but Simba had fallen into a deep sleep ever since he entered the divine territory. Wang Zhong felt a headache when he did not have Simba's optimistic spirit when he was lonely.
Wang Zhong felt rather sleepy. In the past, he would be full of energy even if he did not sleep for over 10 days. However, now, he would be so sleepy that he could not open his eyes if he did not sleep for a day. He did not have much money left and could not spend any more money on accommodation. Food was a must. He had already chosen the cheapest food he knew to replenish his energy. If not, he would really starve to death. Based on his memories, he found a street that looked relatively deserted. Wang Zhong had come here two or three times. Unlike other places in the city, which were still bustling in the middle of the night, most of the shops here opened during the day and were rather quiet at night.
He found a corner outside a shop that looked rather clean and sat down. A wave of tiredness washed over him, and he closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep. In his dream, he seemed to have arrived in a strange space. He saw a square stone hanging in the air, and it was as dazzling as the sun.
He had only been here for five or six days, but he had already had this dream several times. Every time he saw it, he felt that the square stone was very familiar. It was definitely something that he recognized. Furthermore, it was faintly calling out to him. However, the strange thing was that he could not remember what this stone was even though it was such a familiar thing. He stared at the glowing stone in the air with extreme curiosity and thought hard. What exactly was this thing?
Clang clang clang.
Dong, dong, dong.
Smack ~!
"Aiya!"
It seemed as though something had tripped over him. At the same time, a clear shattering sound rang out, followed by a girl's startled cry, waking Wang Zhong from his dream. His mind was still a little dizzy, and just like a few days ago, he faintly felt as though he had just had a dream. It had an intense attraction to him, and he wanted to explore and understand it. However, he simply couldn't remember the scene of his dream.
He rubbed his sore neck. As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw a fifteen or sixteen-year-old loli looking at him with a gloomy face. "Why are you sleeping here? I broke the flower pot because of you."
Wang Zhong gawked, only to see that the door he was leaning against was already half open. It was a flower shop, and the little loli seemed to be moving flower pots from inside the shop to the outside. It was probably because he was sleeping in a corner and the sky was still dark, so the little loli didn't notice him. As a result, she tripped over him, causing a flower pot the size of a palm to fall to the ground and shatter into pieces.
Feeling somewhat helpless, Wang Zhong stood up. It was clearly his fault for sleeping outside her door. "I'm sorry … how much is this flower pot? I'll pay for it."
"How much? Sigh, I have to think about this. " The little loli's appearance was extremely similar to that of a human's, but she had round cute ears and a large, brightly colored tail. She held her chin in her hands and thought for a long time. "How much is the flower pot, how much is the flower pot … Eh, what does this have to do with you? Why should I tell you? Hmph, don't even think about casually hitting on me. "
She muttered to herself before lowering her head to take a look. Suddenly, she cried out in alarm. "Aiya, my flower pot! How did it break? "
"…" Wang Zhong was dumbfounded by this sudden turn of events. What was the meaning of this?
But before he could patiently explain, he heard a low, muffled voice ring out like a clap of thunder. "Roar ~ Who is it! Who broke my flower pot?! "
Before the high-pitched three-band roar had even finished, the sound of running footsteps, which sounded like an earthquake, sounded continuously from within the shop. A massive black shadow rushed out at a speed that dazzled Lao Wang's eyes. It was a massive creature with a bull's head.
It was over three meters tall and had to bend its back in order to squeeze through the tall door frame. Unlike the Mizobudapi Taurens that Wang Zhong had seen in the Mizobudapi World, this fellow was a genuine black bull. It had the head of a bull, the body of a bull, the hooves of a bull, and the tail of a bull. The only difference was that its hind legs were exceptionally well-developed and thick, allowing it to stand up like a human.
When it saw the broken flower pot on the ground, its bulging eyes widened even more. It let out a loud, sobbing roar that was like the roar of a massive cannon. It sounded as if it was in grief as if it had lost all of its descendants and instantly spread across the entire street. "My ~ flower pot ~!"
Wang Zhong and Little Muddle Head looked at each other helplessly. Meanwhile, half of the street outside had been shaken. Many people stuck their heads out of the bustling shops and smiled as they watched the commotion.
"Did Little Muddle Head break Old Bull's flower pot again?"
"Damn, it's so early in the morning. Isn't it just a broken flower pot? Why is this miser crying like a ghost and howling like a wolf?"
"Oh, there seems to be an outsider. Old Bull will definitely frame him."
After the old black bull let out a heart-wrenching roar, he did not even look at Little Muddle Head. Instead, he simply stared at Wang Zhong. "You were definitely the one who broke it! Pay up! 10 Star Coins, hand it over! "
"Okay, okay, okay." Wang Zhong did not know whether to laugh or cry. Although he had been cheated, he had slept in front of Little Muddle Head's door and could not let Little Muddle Head take the blame. He stretched out his hand and touched his waist, but there was nothing there.
Where was his wallet?
Wang Zhong was slightly dumbfounded. It was still hanging on his waist before he slept last night. Could it be …
It had been stolen!
What the hell. The people in the divine territory did not follow the rules. They had even stolen from a beggar who slept on the streets. There was no justice in this world! Damn it!
When it rains, it pours. It seemed that the effects of gravity and spiritual pressure did not only affect one's body and spirit. Even one's reaction speed and sensitivity had become extremely poor. He had only slept, but he did not even realize that something had been stolen from his body.
He awkwardly rubbed his nose. "I don't have any money."
"You … you don't have any money?!" The old black bull's eyes widened even more, and his voice doubled in volume. White smoke was coming out of his massive nostrils. "Do you want to die? Do you think that I can't kill you with one punch?!"
The black bull waved his fist, which was as large as a casserole, and surged with energy. Wang Zhong definitely believed that this fellow could kill him with one hoof. His mentality had been corrected after a few days of wandering. He was truly the Captain of the Wanderlust Team.
Lao Wang smiled and spread his hands. "Boss Cow, I really don't want to renege on my debt. I originally had some money on me, but it was all stolen while I slept. Even if you beat me to death, I won't be able to pay for your flower pot. How about this? I'll work for you and owe you 10 Star Coins. I'll work for 20 Star Coins. Of course, you have to pay for my food and lodging.
Actually, my family also sells flowers. "Wang Zhong tried his best to make his expression more sincere. He had learned a lot from Scarlet over the past two years.
"Boss, I feel that he's quite sincere. Furthermore, I can't do it alone." The little fox girl could not help but help him. After all, she was partly responsible for this. If she had been more careful, she would not have fallen.
The little fox girl's appearance was average, but she had a good heart. After being here for so long, Wang Zhong also felt that he had accumulated some good karma. It was about time for him to meet someone who was sympathetic. He was already so miserable. Other than selling his body, he had no other value.
"Shut up, you money-losing person. Let me calculate!" Boss Cow started to calculate. The surrounding neighbors were happy.
This fellow was the most famous miser in the Heavenly Treasures Street. He was a burly goblin who insisted on opening a flower shop. Of course, business was bad in the beginning, but this little fox girl had no money to buy flowers. Thus, she started to work. Although she was muddle-headed, the flower shop's business was much better. Furthermore, they were both goblins, so Boss Cow took in this little helper. He had probably tasted the sweetness. He sized up Wang Zhong's figure. He was a celestialoid.
Tsk tsk, this was a good way to put up a front. "Cough cough. Little fellow, your life is really good. Go and ask around. Isn't Brother Cow the most generous person in the entire Heavenly Treasures Street? I won't cheat you. Work for me for a year, and I'll provide for your food and lodging. This will count as you paying off your debt. Let me tell you, don't try to lower your price with me.
When I'm arrogant, even I am afraid of myself! "As he spoke, he started to pinch his hooves and coerce Wang Zhong. Wang Zhong did not know whether to laugh or cry as he nodded his head." Thank you, Boss, for taking me in! "
"Ha ha. Although you are slightly thinner, your brain is not bad. Work hard, and I will not treat you unfairly!" Wang Zhong felt as if his bones were about to break. Damn. What kind of place was this? Any random person was a monster. If he had dared to make a move just now, there was a high chance that he would have been smashed into minced meat.
"Xiao Di, bring this fellow to familiarize himself with the rules. Don't be clumsy and break my treasure!" Boss Cow was not worried that Wang Zhong would dare to run away. Large businesses used contracts, while small matters depended on influence and status. With the strength of this fellow in front of him, he was a low-class person.
The fox girl called Xiao Di seemed very happy. She finally had a companion. She curiously sized up Wang Zhong and started to touch him here and there. Her touching made Wang Zhong feel embarrassed.
"Are you a human? What's your name? I heard that you are one of the 12 low-leveled civilizations that have just been brought in. Furthermore, you are the most unlucky," said Xiao Di happily, as if she had discovered a new continent.
Lao Wang rubbed his nose. Could she not be so direct? How were they supposed to chat?!
Student Wang Zhong finally had a place to stay, even though this place was slightly strange.
The Secret Garden was a flower shop opened by a coarse Bull Goblin, but it had such an enchanting name. There was really no one else like this. Every time Wang Zhong saw this name, he would feel as if he was a cow chewing on peonies. Boss Cow did not spend much time in the shop. Everything was handled by Xiao Di and Wang Zhong. Ever since Wang Zhong joined the shop, Boss Cow abandoned his duties even more. He had taken in Wang Zhong because he was greedy, but he did not expect this human to know how to garden.
Wang Zhong and Xiao Di did not know why Boss Cow would open a flower shop. However, Wang Zhong was really puzzled. How did this fellow manage to not go bankrupt? Boss Cow should have an advantage in terms of purchasing goods. Flowers from multiple Dimensional Worlds dazzled Wang Zhong. However, the entire business was still in its initial stage. He just sold the flowers in pots. There was no packaging, gardening, or assembly. Furthermore, the prices were arbitrary.
There were two types of flowers in the Secret Garden. One type was ornamental flowers. They were beautiful, beautiful, and fragrant. Some could even speak. For example, the plants on the Malulu Planet were rather intelligent, but these flowers did not sell very well. Unless one was an autistic person, who would need a flower with a big face that was constantly complaining? Ever since Wang Zhong started to take care of the flower shop, it had always complained about him. He had wanted to sell it a long time ago, but no one wanted it.
The other type was plants that could be used to make pills. Any plant that could enter the divine territory would definitely have a relatively rich spiritual influence and a relatively high level. Aristocrats would need to decorate their plants, and some of them were medicinal ingredients for pill refinery. Simply put, he was selling medicinal ingredients. Boss Cow seemed to be doing wholesale business, and this was his main source of income. However, it was also because of this that the flower shop was considered a side business. Old Cow probably just wanted to earn money from the shop.
Over a week, Wang Zhong had basically understood the routine here from Old Cow and Little Di. If the residents of the various civilizations in the Land wanted to escape from this awkward situation, they could only advance to the Heavenly Core Stage. Any life that could enter this place had reached the lowest requirement of the divine territory — the Foundational Stage. The Heavenly Soul Stage of humans was the early Foundational Stage. Once those below the Heavenly Soul Stage entered this place, their bodies would immediately explode. Of course, this also meant that any life form here would possess great power if they entered the lower worlds. Their natural endowments were even more terrifying. For example, the goblin race and the mutated creatures on Earth would probably listen to their commands. There were no regions divided by the Star Alliance, and if they acted recklessly, it would be a disaster.
In essence, it was right for the Patriarch Society to join the Star Alliance at all costs. The life forms here were all pursuing the Heavenly Pill. Perhaps different races condensed different types of Heavenly Pills. Some were Ghost Pills, some were Goblin Pills, and so on. However, the essence was the same and only the level was different. Once one cultivated the Heavenly Pill, not only would their lifespan be greatly increased, their ability to absorb the power of the Heavenly River would also increase. More importantly, their status in the Land would also be different. This was also the only way to change the low level of civilization. For example, if one wanted to do business here, one had to be from a level-6 civilization or above. However, if one was from a Heavenly Core Stage or even a level-4 civilization, this was their privilege. At the same time, outstanding Heavenly Core Stages would obtain the opportunity to enter the Heaven. The Heaven was a paradise that only level-9 civilizations could enjoy. It was the most legendary place in the entire Fifth Dimension, the Pure Land of Bliss. At the same time, it was the only way to enter the higher dimensions.
If one wanted to cultivate the Heavenly Pill, they had to fulfill two conditions: cultivation techniques and pills.
In the Land, there were hundreds of Paths, Factions, Sects, and Factions of various civilizations. All of them had their own cultivation techniques and inheritances. Some were very closed off and were only open to their own civilizations, while others were open to the public. However, they had to pay a high "tribute". Their cultivation techniques did not have to be the best, but they had to be suitable. After all, there were too many civilizations, and this gap was rather large.
Pills were not a shortcut but a necessity. Cultivation techniques could speed up the absorption of the energy of the Heavenly River, change the Spirit Sea, and continuously condense it before finally forming the Void Core. Then, the Void Core would solidify. This process was rather long, and there was no doubt that pills were needed to speed up the process. Thus, basically, in the Land, the Alchemy Faction was high and mighty, and alchemists were even more impressive. In various civilizations and powers, the status of alchemists was transcendent. They were even more important than Heavenly Core Stage cultivators.
Of course, high-leveled alchemists did not exist in the Heavenly Treasures Street where the Secret Garden was located. Xiao Di might have been lonely for too long. It was rare for her to have such a diligent and inquisitive companion like Wang Zhong, so she was very willing to answer his questions. However … she might have a slight amnesia and often forgot what she was doing when she was talking halfway.
This made Lao Wang slightly sad. Xiao Di's treatment was much better than his. Of course, Xiao Di was from the goblin race, and the level of the badge on her wrist was very high. This was a form of deterrence to a large extent. Basically, ordinary level-4 to level-6 existences had to be relatively cautious and careful when living in the Land.
"Wang Zhong, it's a pity that you can't use my cultivation techniques … Ah, send this to …" It was rare for Little Lost Fox to remember Wang Zhong's name. She had just helped Wang Zhong pack up a large batch of materials that others had ordered, but her old habit resurfaced. She actually forgot where to send them to.
Little Lost Fox was the nickname that Wang Zhong had given Xiao Di. This fellow definitely lived up to her name. Furthermore, Wang Zhong still paid attention to work matters. If not, with Old Cow's temper, he would not be able to give him food.
"I know. This is what Boss Sea wants." Wang Zhong smiled and said. This street was rather famous. There were a few very unique large shops that had a wide range of distribution. Some of them were sent to the outer circle of the Heavenly River, while others were sent to the inner circle. In terms of geographical location, Old Cow had chosen the right location.
Meanwhile, Boss Sea's shop was the largest and most comprehensive shop that sold pill refinery materials in the Heavenly Treasures Street.
"It seems to be … Eh, how do you know?" Little Lost Fox felt that she had some impression of it, but she was not too sure.
"Double-headed Bone Cassia, Dragon Ginger Grass, Sky Lantern Fire Wick …" Wang Zhong sniffed his nose and reported the names of the flowers as if he was very familiar with them. "Aren't these pill materials? There's such a large quantity, and they have to be delivered in the morning. They can only be from Boss Sea's shop."
"Ah! You've only been here for a day, but you remember so many flower names? Furthermore, you know them without even opening the bag?! " Little Lost Fox was pleasantly surprised and simply did not dare to believe it. Even now, she could not remember all these complicated names. Speaking of which, how long had she worked at Old Cow's flower shop?
