A technologically powerful nation: The national treasure is actually myself.

Lin Yang returned to the cabin where he had woken up earlier.

According to Zhao Chen, this trip to Bixia City will take many more years.

Bixia City is a border city of the ancient Xu tribe, bordering Xiwu City on the human side.

Because the two groups had a relatively harmonious relationship, they frequently engaged in trade and commerce.

The ancient Xu tribe has some special resources that the humans here need.

vice versa.

However, for some reason, there is no teleportation array between the two cities that allows direct travel.

Therefore, trade could only involve people from the two cities traveling back and forth to transport goods.

However, those who are allowed to trade are basically powerful families.

Because the distance between the two cities is not short, and the roads are not very safe.

The Zhao family is a powerful family force in Xiwu City. It is not the top family in Xiwu City, but it is not bad either.

This trade mission was led by Zhao Chen, a powerful expert in the late Nirvana Realm, along with one or two clansmen in the early to mid-Nirvana Realm and some family guards and disciples, heading to Bixia City.

This is also the configuration of the trade caravans of most family-based forces.

It can handle most unexpected situations on the road.

Overall, the situation here is much more complicated than in the Far East Prefecture.

Because it is a border city, it is a melting pot of all sorts of people, so extra caution is needed.

After gaining a preliminary understanding of the situation here, Lin Yang began to think about his next course of action.

First of all, he definitely won't be able to return to the Far East Prefecture in the short term.

We need to settle down here temporarily.

Or rather, it means settling down permanently.

I'll go back to the Zhengpufu to see Xia Shuang and Li Liping when I have the chance in the future.

Thinking of the two of them, Lin Yang couldn't help but take out his communication jade slip.

Inside the jade slip were messages left for him by Xia Shuang and Li Liping.

There are many.

Most of them were sent by Xia Shuang.

Messages have been coming in continuously since the fall of Blazing City.

He just couldn't receive it at the time.

But Xia Shuang never gave up.

His words were filled with worry and concern.

Li Liping was in a similar situation.

Lin Yang sighed, thought for a moment, and ultimately did not reply to them.

It wasn't that he didn't trust Xia Shuang and Li Liping.

Rather, this matter is simply difficult to explain clearly.

He had to be careful and tell them when the time was right.

Currently, besides the two of them, Lin Yang has no other relatives or friends on the Primordial Ancient Continent.

So he has no worries about staying in Xiwu City.

"After selling off the resources I have, I should be able to live a comfortable life as a wealthy man. I won't have to worry about money for cultivation for the time being. I'll see how things go in Bixia City and Xiwu City before making any plans," Lin Yang thought to himself.

……

Decades later.

The Zhao family's warship arrived at Bixia City.

Lin Yang was called out of his room by Zhao Hu in advance, so that he could observe Bixia City from afar.

After decades of getting along, Lin Yang's relationship with the Zhao family is relatively harmonious.

I sometimes get along quite well with Zhao Hu.

Over time, the two became quite familiar with each other.

Zhao Hu knew that this was Lin Yang's first time in Bixia City, so he called him early on.

Standing beside the warship, one can see a magnificent city standing on the horizon in the distance.

An indescribable aura emanates from them.

It makes people feel oppressed.

"It is a hundred times larger and more magnificent than the capital city of the Far East Prefecture."

Lin Yang's most direct impression was that Bixia City was very large.

Very big!
Although we can't see the whole picture, we can still get a general idea.

Compared to Bixia City, Baichi City is utterly insignificant.

He couldn't help but recall Qian Luo, the troublesome young master of the Qian family he had encountered in Baichi City.

At the time, Qian Luo and his follower said that Baichi City was just a small, run-down place.

Now it seems that although that guy was arrogant, what he said wasn't wrong.

Compared to Bixia City, Baichi City is indeed too small.

This was the first time Lin Yang had seen a city on the Primordial Ancient Continent that truly impressed him.

It resembles an ancient, ferocious beast lying prostrate between heaven and earth, inspiring awe and fear.

The warships slowly approached, and the oppressive feeling intensified.

Finally, the warships landed outside the city.

The Zhao family disembarked, and Lin Yang followed them off the boat, entering the city with them.

Outside the city gates, foreign warships could be seen landing or taking off at any time.

This kind of prosperity is something that cannot be seen in the Far East Prefecture.

Lin Yang suddenly thought of the city ranking system on Earth.

Bixia City is like a developed city, while the Far East Prefecture is a backward region.

The difference is too obvious.

You have to pay an entrance fee to enter the city.

However, the Zhao family paid for Lin Yang.

Upon entering the city, the bustling and lively atmosphere immediately greets you.

A dense crowd, a cacophony of voices.

Buildings of various styles stand tall.

It is quite magnificent.

Lin Yang saw some people with unique auras, which were somewhat different from those of the human race.

Without a doubt, they are people of the ancient Xu tribe.

This was the first time Lin Yang had seen the ancient Xu people.

Their aura was very distinctive, making them instantly recognizable.

Not only their aura, but the ancient Xu people were also quite handsome.

Both men and women possess an indescribable handsomeness.

A high, straight nose, deep-set eyes, and a sculpted facial contour.

Very recognizable.

Lin Yang glanced around and didn't see a single ugly one.

"They are a handsome man and a beautiful woman."

Lin Yang couldn't help but sigh softly.

Zhao Hu chuckled, "The ancient Xu people are indeed like that. They are naturally blessed in terms of appearance. However, they rarely intermarry with our human race. So we can only look at them. After seeing them many times, they'll just look at them."

He meant that Lin Yang was new to the place, so he found it all new and exciting.

Lin Yang nodded and slightly withdrew his gaze.

Although Bixia City is a city of the ancient Xu Clan, there are indeed many human cultivators in the city.

People come and go on the streets; they can be seen everywhere.

It feels more like a city where two ethnic groups live together.

However, the city's management is still composed of powerful members of the Ancient Void Clan.

"Many of our human cultivators live and cultivate within the Ancient Void Clan, and this is especially evident in Bixia City."

Zhao Hu quietly explained some of the situation to Lin Yang.

During their conversation, the group arrived at a restaurant. "Brother Lin Yang, we'll be staying in Bixia City for a while, so we'll stay here at this restaurant."

Zhao Hu said:

“We usually go out to exchange resources and trade. You are free to move around and get familiar with the situation in Bixia City. If you don’t want to go back to Xiwu City, you can also consider staying here in Bixia City. Actually, Xiwu City is similar to this place, except that it is our own territory.”

While Zhao Hu was speaking, he also completed the check-in procedures for Lin Yang and paid the fees for Lin Yang.

"Brother Zhao Hu, I can pay for this myself," Lin Yang said upon seeing this.

Although he doesn't have much Yuansha on him right now, he can still afford to stay at a restaurant.

Zhao Hu waved his hand and chuckled softly, "Our Zhao family has a long-term partnership with this restaurant, and we get great discounts for staying here. It's much cheaper than if you paid for it yourself. It's just a small amount of money, don't be shy."

"Then thank you very much, Brother Zhao Hu." Lin Yang blinked upon hearing this and did not refuse any further.

"You're too kind. It's fate that we met, and besides, we get along quite well," Zhao Hu laughed.

Lin Yang silently made a mental note of this debt, intending to settle it when the opportunity arose.

Afterwards, Zhao Hu was called away by Zhao Chen to handle some matters.

Lin Yang went back to his room to rest for a while, and then went out on his own.

He needs to dispose of the large amount of resources he no longer needs and sell them to exchange for Yuansha.

In this unfamiliar place, money is needed to pave the way for anything you do.

The sheer size of Bixia City made it convenient for him to distribute his vast resources.

Selling so many resources at once in a smaller city could easily attract attention.

But in a place like Bixia City, no one would care how much ordinary resources are sold.

However, just to be on the safe side, Lin Yang did not sell too many resources at once in one shop. Instead, he went to many places and sold those resources in different shops.

Then he suddenly became a minor tycoon.

However, Lin Yang did not dwell too much on the emotions of suddenly becoming rich.

Although he currently possesses the most abundant Yuansha since arriving in the Primordial Ancient Continent, it would be difficult to sustain this wealth for long if he were to cultivate with all his might.

The higher one's cultivation level, the more resources are needed for cultivation, and the more precious they become, causing prices to skyrocket.

It's far from enough for him to live off his savings.

It just means that for the time being, I don't have to worry about finding a sofa.

This gave him some confidence to establish himself here.

While selling resources, Lin Yang also carefully observed the situation of the cultivators in Bixia City.

Perhaps because it is a large border city, the cultivators here are all quite powerful.

There are quite a few even at the Nirvana Realm.

Although most of those who see Nirvana Realm cultivators outside are only at the early to mid-stages, it still gives you a glimpse into their level.

After all, back in the Far East Prefecture, let alone Bai Chi City, it was difficult to see Nirvana Realm cultivators even in the prefectural city.

At the same time, Lin Yang also learned that with his current cultivation level at the mid-stage of the Nirvana Realm, it wouldn't be a big problem for him to settle down in a place like Bixia City.

Even in Bixia City, someone at the mid-stage of the Nirvana Realm is considered a master.

They have a lot of influence to recruit.

However, the forces within Bixia City are numerous and complex, making it difficult to choose one easily.

Of course, Lin Yang wasn't in a hurry.

He preferred to return to Xiwu City with the Zhao family later.

Just as Zhao Hu said, Xiwu City is the territory of the human race.

Unless he had no other choice, he would still prefer to go back to Xiwu City.

After pondering for a moment, Lin Yang returned to the front of the restaurant.

Just as he was about to go in, a low voice suddenly came from beside him: "Sir, you must be tired from your journey. Would you like to relax and unwind? Zuichun Pavilion has some new girls. I guarantee they will make sure you have a great time."

Lin Yang paused slightly and looked over.

The person who spoke to him was a young man with a cultivation level of seven or eight on the Dao. When he turned his head, the young man smiled at him.

Lin Yang asked suspiciously, "Are you talking to me?"

"Yes, sir." The young man nodded repeatedly, with a hint of obsequiousness.

"What did you mean by what you just said?" Lin Yang asked, somewhat puzzled.

Upon hearing this, the young man was visibly taken aback, but quickly continued:

"Please forgive me, sir, but a new group of dancers from the Ancient Void Clan have arrived at the Drunken Spring Pavilion. The banquet will be held tonight."

Lin Yang frowned at first, but then he understood.

That Drunken Spring Pavilion is probably not a respectable place.

Then he shook his head to indicate that he was not interested.

The young man didn't say much, bowed to him, and went to find someone else.

Lin Yang returned to his room, intending to cultivate for a while, when there was a knock on the door.

It's Zhao Hu.

Lin Yang opened the door and looked at Zhao Hu: "Brother Zhao Hu, are you done with your business?"

Zhao Hu nodded and smiled, "Brother Lin Yang, if you have nothing else to do, I'll take you to a great place, one you've never seen before."

"A good place? What good place?" Lin Yang asked, somewhat surprised.

"You'll find out when you get there." Zhao Hu didn't say much, just chuckled.

Seeing this, Lin Yang didn't ask any more questions and followed Zhao Hu out of the restaurant.

Then, after many twists and turns, the road became increasingly remote.
Finally, it stopped in front of a quiet courtyard.

"Tattoo."

Zhao Hu knocked on the courtyard gate, which opened from the inside.

Zhao Hu strode in.

Lin Yang followed closely behind.

Upon entering, the scene before my eyes was completely transformed.

The courtyard was surprisingly a hidden world, a small universe of its own.

Pavilions and towers, with flickering lights.

Unlike the tranquility outside, it was extremely lively.

Zhao Hu walked toward the largest pavilion.

It was faintly visible that the hall was almost full of people.

In the center of the hall, there is a high platform.

Red silk was laid out on the high platform, and flower petals of various colors were scattered.

A dozen or so graceful dancers, their faces veiled and dressed in long, thin gowns, stood side by side with their hands clasped, seemingly waiting for something.

"This is...?" Lin Yang was stunned.

Zhao Hu chuckled again: "Brother Lin Yang, this is Zuichunlou, where a moment of pleasure is worth a thousand pieces of gold, understand?"

"...Drunken Spring Pavilion?" Lin Yang's eyes were strange. Wasn't this the place the young man had mentioned when they returned to the restaurant?

This place really is a place of pleasure!

He told Zhao Hu about his encounter with the young man.

After listening, Zhao Hu laughed and said, "Those are people from Zuichunlou. It's a way for them to attract customers. They often loiter around restaurants, specifically targeting human customers. Zuichunlou has many beauties from the Ancient Void Clan, which some of our human cultivators like very much. So it's an industry."

After a pause, Zhao Hu added, "There are similar places in Xiwu City."

Lin Yang immediately understood.

He looked at Zhao Hu with a strange expression: "Brother Zhao Hu, you seem to know this place very well. It looks like you've been here quite often."

Zhao Hu said nonchalantly, "I have indeed been here a few times, but only to watch the excitement. Today there is a new batch of beauties from the Ancient Void Clan, so I came to see something new."

"Of course, Brother Lin Yang, this is your first time here. You can consider picking one to try. The people of the Ancient Void Clan are handsome, and the women are even more so. Although they don't intermarry with us much, you can still enjoy yourself here. This batch of newcomers is guaranteed to be virgins."

"..." Lin Yang didn't say anything.

Isn't this just prostitution?

He is not that kind of person!

He glanced at the assembled guests, all of whom were human cultivators.

"Are you sure it's okay to do this on the territory of the Ancient Void Clan?" Lin Yang asked with some doubt.

"What could possibly happen? It's not like we were forced to come." Zhao Hu waved his hand. "Zuichunlou has powerful backers, so there's nothing to worry about."

Lin Yang was speechless. (End of Chapter)
