"It really is a good thing!" Liu Ming nodded in satisfaction as he stretched his body. A faint layer of purple Demon Qi was emitted from his body.
Han Ye hesitated for a moment, then said, "This Demonic Eye Pearl is a treasure refined from the eyeball of my Sunset Tribe's Elder Jin Dan after he passed away. Please use it properly, Liu Ming."
"Don't worry, Tribe Leader Han. I will use such a precious gift with care." Liu Ming cupped his hands and handed the other Demonic Eye Pearl to Qian Ruping.
Qian Ruping took it and put it on her body. She was immediately shrouded in a layer of faint purple mist.
Her cultivation wasn't very high. With the help of this pearl, even Liu Ming wouldn't be able to sense the slightest trace of human aura from her body.
"The Rift Valley is thousands of miles away from Luo City. There are countless dangerous places in between. If you two must go, it's best that you decide on a route in advance. I wish you two a safe arrival," Han Ye said in a serious tone.
Hearing this, Liu Ming thanked him.
The deal between the two sides had been completed. Liu Ming didn't intend to stay in the Sunset Tribe for long.
Early the next morning, he took Qian Ruping and quietly left the Sunset Tribe's valley.
"Big Brother Ming, how do we go to Luo City?" The two stopped at a mountain peak near the Sunset Tribe. Qian Ruping looked at Liu Ming and asked.
"Let's go to Black Water City first." Liu Ming took out the map of the Rift Valley that Han Xin had given him. There was a city that was closest to the Sunset Tribe — Black Water City.
"We'll make some preparations there. Then, we'll go to Luo City." Liu Ming waved his hand and summoned the Daiyue Jade Boat.
Qian Ruping didn't have any objections. A moment later, a white silhouette flashed from the top of the mountain peak and flew away.
… …
On a vast plain far away from the Sky Rended Canyon stood a magnificent black city. A pitch-black river flowed through the center of the city, extending from the south to the north, with no end in sight.
At the moment, it was noon, and streams of people were constantly entering and exiting the city gate. These people were dressed in different clothes, and seemed to be demon cultivators from different tribes.
Right at this moment, a dazzling white light galloped over from afar and stopped above a hill near the city. The white light faded away, revealing two figures surrounded by a faint purple aura.
It was Liu Ming and Qian Ruping, who had rushed all the way from the Sunset Tribe.
Liu Ming kept the Daiyue Flying Ship and looked at the city.
The entire city wall was 70 to 80 meters tall, and it was built from numerous enormous dark colored stones. In addition, at the four corners of the city, four enormous stone pillars could be faintly seen protruding out of the city wall, and there were faint white talisman markings flowing ceaselessly on the surface of the four pillars.
This was the famous Black Water City in the western part of the Wasteland Continent.
The Wasteland Continent was mainly divided by the Eight Savage Clans. In order to seize resources, the small and medium-sized clans that were vassals to these large clans frequently went on expeditions against each other. Therefore, in order to facilitate the exchange of goods between the Demon Clans, the Eight Savage Clans would set up trading points like Blackwater City in their respective territories and forbid fighting. Therefore, for some small and medium-sized clans or rogue Demon Clans, it was a very safe trading place.
Before setting off, Liu Ming had already learned from Han Xin that this Black Water City belonged to the Split Eagle Clan, which ranked last among the eight wild tribes.
Because it was the first time Qian Ruping saw such a huge city outside of the Yunchuan Continent, her face overflowed with surprise and excitement. Liu Ming didn't say much. With a light wave, he flew toward the city.
At the gate of the Black Water City stood seven or eight Split Eagle Clan guards. Like the Split Eagle Clan cultivators that Liu Ming had seen in the ruins of the upper realm, they had sharp eyes and hooked noses.
These guards interrogated the two of them, collected some spirit stones, and let them into the city.
As soon as they entered the city, Liu Ming deeply experienced the prosperity of this place.
After passing through the city gate, the scene in front of them suddenly became lively. Several spacious streets appeared in front of them at the same time.
The ground in the city was paved with black stones, and it was extremely flat. Every black stone was carved with all kinds of ancient patterns, adding to the charm of the foreign races.
On both sides of the spacious streets were high-rise buildings made of huge stones of different shapes. Compared to the more neat and solemn style of the human cities in Yunchuan and the Heaven-terminus Continent, these buildings with different styles added a bit of roughness.
Most of these buildings were decorated with flags that fluttered in the wind. Impressively, they were trading shops with various names.
There were many pedestrians on the streets. Naturally, they were all demon cultivators from various tribes.
Arriving here, Liu Ming finally felt like he had come to the Wasteland Continent.
The demon cultivators on the streets were of different shapes and sizes. Although they all looked like humans, there were more or less traces of demon beasts on their bodies. There were even some that were half-human and half-beast.
There were even some who brought along some ferocious pet beasts and swaggered through the streets. The rest of the pedestrians did not seem surprised at all.
Although Liu Ming and Qian Ruping had changed their appearances, compared to these real demons, they still looked more refined.
Qian Ruping saw the scene in front of her and could not help but feel a little afraid. She involuntarily took a step closer to Liu Ming.
"It's fine. We have the Demonic Eyeball Beads with us. We'll be fine," Liu Ming said lightly.
Qian Ruping nodded and her expression eased a little.
After strolling around the city for a while, the sky gradually darkened and night fell. The shops on both sides of the streets also lit up with a white light.
Liu Ming immediately brought Qian Ruping to find an inn in Black Water City and stayed there.
After a whole day's journey, Qian Ruping was a little tired, so she went back to the room early to rest.
Liu Ming stood in front of the window of his room with his hands behind his back, looking at the bustling street outside the window. His eyes flickered.
The scale of this Black Water City was also an extremely prosperous city in the Middle Sky Continent. He just took a few casual glances on the street. There were many shops selling all kinds of spiritual materials, beastkin materials, spirit grass, elixirs, and books. After a casual glance, he found many things that were hard to find in the Middle Sky Continent.
Liu Ming secretly calculated the itinerary of the next day. He quickly sat back cross-legged on the bed and closed his eyes to meditate.
He left the inn early the next morning. Qian Ruping followed closely behind with a slight excitement on her face.
Liu Ming originally thought that Qian Ruping was afraid of the beastkin outside, so he wanted to leave her in the inn. Who knew that after half a day's work yesterday, Qian Ruping seemed to have completely adapted to the environment here. She insisted on going out with him to see the scenery here. He had no choice but to bring her out too.
Qian Ruping had lived in the Sea Region for a long time. When had she seen such a prosperous place? She was really curious about everything, especially some precious spiritual materials and elixirs. She was quite envious, but Liu Ming didn't seem to look at these things, so she didn't say anything.
After turning two streets, Liu Ming stopped in front of a spacious attic with several floors high.
Looking from the door, it was a shop selling ancient books.
Liu Ming stepped in.
"Two guests, are you here to buy some ancient books? Our Book Pavilion is one of the best ancient book shops in this Black Water City. " As soon as he entered the door, he was greeted by a white-haired old man with a kind face and blue skin.
In the hall, in addition to some simple tables and chairs, there were rows of very orderly books Jade Slips. It looked like there were tens of thousands of them.
"There is a map of the major races of the wild continent and the areas under their jurisdiction. Yes, there is also a detailed introduction of Luo City." After seeing the scale of this place, Liu Ming said calmly.
"Why don't you move to the third area on the second floor? The books there may be of interest to you. However, there are some restrictions on them. You can only see a small part of the content. If there are books you like, you can send me a message at any time. After you buy them, you can take them out. " The white-haired old man saw that Liu Ming was only looking for some general books. He seemed a little disappointed, but still said politely.
"The ancient books about the totem array, which area?" Qian Ruping looked at the bookshelves in the room and said with great anticipation.
"Totem array? This kind of ancient book is originally difficult to study. It is really difficult for a normal shop to purchase a higher grade ancient book. However, it is fortunate that this shop belongs to the Icy Frost Tribe and we have quite a number of totem-related ancient books. If Miss is interested, you can head to the second floor, section five. "When the white-haired old man heard this, he replied with some interest.
"Ping Er, why don't you go take a look at Zone Five. If you see any books that you are interested in, just bid for it. Don't worry about it." Liu Ming's lips moved slightly as he transmitted his voice.
Qian Ruping smiled knowingly and did not say much. She happily trotted upstairs and began to look for the books she needed.
After half a day, Liu Ming and Qian Ruping walked out of the shop.
At this time, Liu Ming not only had some ancient books about the wild continent, maps and other things, but he had also collected a lot of bone pieces that recorded information about Luo City.
Qian Ruping also found a lot of ancient books about the totem array and Beastkin Clan runes. She was holding a few bone pieces of different colors with excitement. She was obviously very satisfied.
Of course, these items also cost nearly a million spirit stones, but for him, they were naturally insignificant.
Although Liu Ming had already gotten what he wanted, he did not rush back to the inn. Instead, he took Qian Ruping and began to wander around other shops that sold spiritual materials.
After visiting a few shops, he found that the cultivation resources produced by the wild continent were far beyond his initial imagination. Some superb spiritual materials that were rare in the Middle Sky Continent were actually very common in the wild continent.
This made Liu Ming pleasantly surprised. If he could resell these things in the two realms, he didn't know how much spirit stones he could earn.
However, this idea was obviously too absurd. He quickly put it aside and concentrated on purchasing some of the things he needed.
