Chiyang County was located in the south of Qi. It was rich in minerals, and most of the people in the county worked with iron.
Looking down from the sky, Qi territory was red.
That was why it was called Chiyang.
As the saying went, "Qi Qi's soldiers are in Chiyang, and Chiyang's soldiers are in Nan Yao."
Nan Yao City was where the Lian family had operated for many years.
It was not a county, but it was better than a county.
When people mentioned Chiyang County, they could only think of Nan Yao City. They could not remember which city was the county.
The city lord of Nan Yao City was never transferred, so his surname could only be Lian. This showed the status of the Lian family in Nan Yao City and even the entire Chiyang County.
The Lian family was not a family born in Qi. After their home country was destroyed, they moved to Qi.
In Scarlet Sun County, he cut open a mountain to obtain copper and took root. From nothing to something, he established South Distant City.
They were now famous in the world.
There were five sacred grounds for blacksmiths in the world. The Lian family of Nan Yao was in Qi territory.
The carriage sped on the wide road. Jiang Wang would occasionally lift the curtain to look at the scenery outside the window.
He thought of something that was very strange to him. The official roads of the State of Qi didn't have any runes carved on them. Along the way, many people in Qi territory were walking in the wilderness.
He saw clearly that many of them had no cultivation.
In fact, he had noticed this when he entered Linhai County. However, he was so focused on exploring the Tian Fu Secret Realm that he neglected it.
Thinking of this, he could not help but ask, "Why don't the roads in Qi territory need formation patterns? The people in Qi territory can go out freely. Are there no dangers in the wilderness? "
The person driving Jiang Wang was a Junggenjia coachman. He had been driving for the Junggenjia for generations.
In an aristocratic family like the Junggenjia, there were many such servants. They were much more reliable than the servants hired from the market.
He did not dare to neglect Chung Geng Sheng's guest. However, he was confused, "What dangers are there in the wilderness?"
Jiang Wang pondered for a while and asked, "Are there no ferocious beasts in Qi territory?"
The coachman scratched his head. "There are at most some deer and foxes around here. They can't be considered ferocious beasts, right? There might be some tigers, leopards, jackals, and wolves in the mountains over there. "
Jiang Wang fell silent.
He also wanted to ask where the Meridian Unlocking Pills that Qi cultivators needed came from. However, the coachman was destined not to know the answer to this question.
He didn't even know what a Ferocious Beast was.
In the Zhuang Country, the first thing that almost all of the commoners had to remember before they left home was "Do not leave the official road."
This was because the wilderness was filled with danger and ferocious beasts.
Even the official roads were not absolutely safe. Those traveling merchants risked their lives to travel through the various places.
All the cultivators in the Zhuang Country had no choice but to regularly patrol the areas near their residences to eliminate any hidden dangers.
On Qi, ordinary people could also go for a walk in the wild and have fun.
They were all ordinary people, but they were born in different countries, and yet their lives were so different.
This was the life that Jiang Wang envied.
He casually summoned the Cloud Crane, picked some interesting ones, and wrote down his recent experiences.
At the same time, he also told his sister that he had successfully explored the Tianfu Mystic Realm and reserved the magical power of the Inner Mansion. He told her to work hard. Of course, he skipped over the dangers and only talked about the magical places.
Then, he talked about the delicacies in Qi to tempt An 'an's appetite. A single letter was already packed to the brim.
Jiang Wang thought about it and wrote a letter to Ye Qingyu, thanking her repeatedly for taking care of Jiang An 'an. He briefly talked about his cultivation progress and some problems in the application of Daoist techniques.
Along the way, he found Ferocious Beasts in many countries, except for the Yun Nation and Qi. Therefore, he casually asked where the Meridian Unlocking Pills in the Yun Nation came from.
After he finished writing the two letters, the coachman reminded him that they were about to arrive at Nanyao City.
Jiang Wang stopped writing and watched the Cloud Crane disappear into the clouds.
Now that he temporarily stopped in Qi, he was not worried that the Cloud Crane would get lost. However, Qi and the Yun Nation were thousands of miles apart. It would take more than ten days to go back and forth.
…
Nanyao City was tall and majestic. Before he got close, he could already feel the heat. The whole city was filled with a scorching feeling.
The streets were bustling with noise.
The people in Nanyao City were generally tall and strong, with reddish and dark skin.
Probably because they lived by the stove all year round, the people here had a fiery temper. Jiang Wang occasionally saw people bargaining with the peddlers. It was so intense that it seemed like they were going to fight.
"Are you selling this for 50 knife coins?"
"Don't even think about it!"
"I think other people are selling it for 40 knife coins!"
"Then go find someone else!"
"I'll find you!"
"I'm not selling it!"
…
Jiang Wang silently lowered the curtain.
The currency in Qi and its affiliated countries was mainly knife coins, supplemented by gold and silver.
The Zhuang Nation used knife coins for historical reasons, which had nothing to do with Qi. It was also different from the ring coins commonly used in Daoist countries.
The knife coins of Zhuang and Qi were completely different in terms of shape and details. Of course, the knife coins of Qi were much more durable than the knife coins of Zhuang.
Nanyao City was different from all the cities that Jiang Wang had seen since he entered Qi. The atmosphere of the whole city was slightly alienated. It probably followed the customs of the old country that had been annihilated in the long river of history.
Qi had a large territory and abundant resources. It had conquered many countries and conquered them. Therefore, there were many different customs in Qi, but they did not affect the rule of Qi.
Sitting in the carriage of Chongxuan, Jiang Wang naturally did not encounter any trouble. He went all the way to Lian Que's house without any obstruction.
This guy lived in the central area of Nanyao City. His house was luxurious.
Hearing the news, Lian Que quickly rushed out of the door.
He probably had been waiting for a long time. Without greeting, he pulled Jiang Wang to the family's sword furnace.
The so-called sword furnace, as the name suggested, was a place where the Lian family specialized in forging swords. The Lian family forged all kinds of weapons with different weapon furnaces.
Lian Que naturally wanted to use the best one. Only this furnace could represent the Lian family's sword furnace.
It was said that the fire of this furnace was brought by the ancestors of the Lian family when they migrated from their old country. It had been burning since then. After so many years, it was not extinguished. It had its own history.
Speaking of the Lian family's sword furnace, it was this one.
Outsiders were not allowed to enter, but with Lian Que leading the way, it was a different story.
Especially since Jiang Wang was the owner of this sword. According to the rules, he was qualified to enter the sword furnace.
As he walked deeper, Jiang Wang became more and more frightened.
He originally thought that Lian Que would make a good magic weapon for him. But judging from this sword furnace, it was far from that.
Before he got close to the sword furnace, he saw broken swords inserted into the ground like a forest.
He could not tell whether these broken swords were good or bad. He only felt that each of them was very sharp.
Following Lian Que, he walked on a small path in the forest of swords. It seemed that he was following some kind of formation. Then, his eyes lit up as he saw a huge, fiery red furnace.
This furnace was about the size of an ordinary house. The furnace was facing the outside, like a monster's huge mouth.
The fire in the furnace burned almost constantly, occasionally jumping up and down.
Bang bang! Bang bang! Bang bang!
What he felt was not the fire of the furnace, but the heartbeat of an ancient wild beast.
