Quicksand City
This city was made entirely out of quicksand, making it look like a moving desert. Before he even got close, he could already feel an immense pressure surging toward him. "What an astonishing aura. Rumor has it that this Quicksand City was the place where Great Emperor Wang Qing comprehended the Dao. Therefore, even if the entire Northern Region Heavenly Country was destroyed and turned into a complete desert, this Quicksand City still stands after ten thousand years and is filled with the pressure of a Great Emperor."
Ye Fei raised his head and looked at the majestic Quicksand City. He hurriedly withdrew his warrior's aura so that he could no longer feel the oppressive pressure. Then, he walked in.
"Come, take a look. Freshly hunted desert scorpions. They taste really good."
"Come and buy them. Treasures newly unearthed by the Northern Region Heavenly Country. If you come across one and discover the secret inside, you'll be rich."
"Everyone, come here. The martial arts that Great Emperor Wang Qing practiced when he was young are absolutely authentic. If it's fake, we'll pay ten times the price! Don't miss it. "
After entering the city, Ye Fei was very surprised. Bandits ran rampant in the desert and killed people. However, this Quicksand City was prosperous. There was an endless stream of warriors going in and out of the city.
Many of the goods being sold were not ordinary goods. For example, the desert scorpions were Martial King Vicious Beasts. It was said that this scorpion's shell was hard and was a top-grade material for refining weapons. Its meat was also very delicious. Not only did the bandits love to eat it, but the crowd surrounding the stall owners also showed how popular it was.
Of course, what really caught Ye Fei's attention were the treasures unearthed by the Northern Region Heavenly Country. Before coming to the Heaven Forsaken Land, he had crammed his knowledge on the geography of this place.
Only then did Ye Fei know that the Northern Region ten thousand years ago wasn't as bleak and desolate as it was now. Although it couldn't be compared to the Central Region, it still had endless geniuses. In the end, the Great Emperor Wang Qing, a super expert that the entire Northern Region was proud of, appeared.
With the help of Great Emperor Wang Qing's prestige, the Heavenly Kingdom of the North also flourished for a period of time. Not only was it invincible in the North Region, but even in the Central Continent, the Heavenly Kingdom of the North had a very high status.
Regretfully, for some unknown reason, a heaven-shaking battle had erupted in the Northern Heavenly Kingdom. That battle had caused the Martial Heaven Continent's Grand Emperor Wang Qing to fall. The entire Northern Heavenly Kingdom had been turned into a desert. Only Quicksand City, because it had once been a place where Martial Emperors had comprehended the Dao, had some remnant laws of heaven and earth, and hadn't been affected.
From then on, many warriors would come over to excavate the treasures of the Heavenly Kingdom buried in the desert to sell them.
However, because these treasures had been buried under the desert for tens of thousands of years, they had long become one with the desert. Therefore, what these explorers dug out were not real treasures, but pieces of rough stones. As for whether there were treasures in the stones, it would depend on one's luck.
Thinking of that, Ye Fei couldn't help smiling as he looked at the neatly arranged ores in the nearby stalls. No matter how he looked at it, he felt that these things were very similar to the stone gambling of the modern era.
However, stone gambling was gambling on jade. As for these stones, they were gambling on the treasures left behind by the Heavenly Kingdom of the North. It had to be known that ten thousand years ago, the Heavenly Kingdom of the North had been the only powerful nation in the North that could contend against the Central Continent. The treasures left behind were naturally shocking.
Ye Fei's interest was aroused. He walked over to a stall and asked, "How much are these stones?"
Seeing that there was business, the stall owner enthusiastically said, "The ordinary stones are ten thousand spirit crystals. There are even more expensive ones."
"Damn, even the ordinary ones are ten thousand spirit crystals!" Ye Fei was a bit speechless. It had to be known that stone gambling relied entirely on luck. Different stones had different chances of opening a treasure.
Most importantly, in order to fuse with the Holy Bodhi, Ye Fei had already given all his spirit stones and spirit crystals to Xiao Cao. At this time, he only had ten thousand spirit crystals left.
If he bought the stones now, he wouldn't have a single cent on him. Thinking that the dignified Sword Monarch of the North Sea had fallen to such a state, Ye Fei's face turned red. He shamelessly bargained and said, "Is there anything cheaper?"
"Senior, even ten thousand spirit crystals are too expensive?" The stall owner was a bit embarrassed. If it weren't for the fact that Ye Fei's strength was unfathomable, he might have laughed at him on the spot.
You don't even have ten thousand spirit crystals, yet you still have the nerve to come here and gamble on stones?
"Cough, cough. Senior, if you are short on money, there are also a thousand spirit crystals over there. You can try your luck." The stall owner's words were very tactful.
As for those that were worth a thousand spirit crystals, they were all leftover materials that others didn't want. The chances of finding a treasure inside were almost zero. In the past, there had been an unlucky person who had found the petrified excrement of a vicious beast from 10,000 years ago, becoming the laughingstock of Quicksand City.
The stall owner was also afraid that Ye Fei would blame him if he was unlucky enough to find such a thing, so he kindly added, "But those are all scraps. Senior, it would be a waste of time to buy them."
"Thank you for the reminder, but I was just curious. I just wanted to play around. Buying a cheap one is also fine." Ye Fei smiled slightly.
Scraps didn't necessarily mean that there was no treasure. Besides, even if he couldn't see it, he still had Xiao Cao, his treasure hunting tool.
"Xiao Cao, let's get to work!" Ye Fei walked towards the pile of scraps and said temptingly, "If I find a treasure, I'll buy you some candied haws to eat."
"Yiyi?"
Is that true? Xiao Cao's eyes were already sparkling. He immediately rubbed his hands together and gestured to Ye Fei to touch the stones one by one.
Ye Fei, of course, did as he was told. After all, treasures must have spiritual energy. As long as there was spiritual energy, it couldn't escape Xiao Cao's senses.
"Hey, what is that person doing? He's already a tenth-layer Martial King, but he's still buying those scraps. "Someone immediately noticed Ye Fei's strange behavior.
The main reason was that Ye Fei was able to become a tenth-layer Martial King at such a young age. It was impossible for him not to attract attention. Standing not far away, the luxurious young man who was also picking stones laughed on the spot. "Haha, this guy is interesting. What kind of stones are there to pick? He's specifically picking scraps."
The luxurious young man understood that Ye Fei either didn't know anything about stones or was short of money and couldn't afford better materials. He immediately walked over and cupped his hands to Ye Fei. "Brother, these are all scraps. Even if you cut them all, you might not be able to get anything. If brother is willing, I have some stones with me. I can give you a few pieces."
Ye Fei didn't even raise his head when he heard this. He continued to touch the stones and said, "Brother, thanks. I'm just playing around. It doesn't matter if I can't get anything."
The luxurious young man revealed a strange expression. You're just playing around. Why are you touching the stones so seriously? Do you really think I'm stupid? However, Ye Fei's actions still piqued his interest. He curiously stood to the side and watched as Ye Fei continued to touch the stones.
Of course, the young man was able to keep his composure. When the other cultivators saw Ye Fei's actions, they couldn't help but laugh.
"He wants to cut out a treasure from a pile of scraps. Has this person cultivated until he's stupid?"
"Shh! Can't you see that he's a tenth-layer Martial King? Do you want to die? "someone reminded nervously.
"What's there to be afraid of? This is Quicksand City, the place where Great Emperor Wang Qing comprehended the Dao. Whoever fights here is disrespectful to the Great Emperor and will be attacked by all the cultivators," that person said fearlessly.
As the only Great Emperor of the Northern Region, Great Emperor Wang Qing's status in the Northern Region was like that of a god. He was worshipped by all the cultivators. As the place where the Great Emperor comprehended the Dao, Quicksand City naturally had a special mark.
