Blue Card Starry Sky

Chapter 219 Youzhou
Youzhou, one of the Nine Provinces of the Netherworld! This is a bustling large city in the snowy region, relatively close to the desolate region, and a very important border city for trade between the two.

Not long ago, a great battle took place between the two domains on this battlefield between the Netherworld and the Brightworld. In the end, the Snow Domain suffered a crushing defeat, making it the most disastrous war in tens of thousands of years! It brought shame upon the Snow Domain!

Therefore, Snowfield amassed a large number of troops in Yongzhou and launched a surprise attack on Wilderness, advancing deep into several towns in Wilderness. This caught Wilderness off guard and made the big shots of Tianhuang City restless!
Youzhou has now been ravaged by war! The casualties were heavy, and the population was reduced by one-tenth! However, it is still very prosperous, with various commercial activities taking place in an endless stream, and goods coming and going busily. The economy and trade of all the states cannot do without it. Therefore, Youzhou has become such a prosperous, wealthy, affluent, and desirable city!
The city of Youzhou is located at the confluence of two major rivers, making it a shipping center. Various goods need to be transported to different places by large ships. As a result, the city is dotted with rivers, lakes, mountains, and forests, and various forces are mixed together. Major families from the Snow Region have established their bases here.

Qingliang Temple on Kongming Mountain is the largest and oldest temple in Youzhou! It is located halfway up Kongming Mountain, the highest peak in Youzhou. The scenery here is pleasant, and the ancient buildings are connected in one place. In the past, it was a place of great religious activity and many people practiced Taoism. It is a famous historical site in the area!

However! Nowadays, almost no highly accomplished monks or powerful cultivators have achieved enlightenment! The area's former glory has faded, its influence has vanished, and its former prosperity is nowhere to be seen. Therefore, few people cultivate here anymore; the area is sparsely populated!
Qingliang Temple is far from the main city of Youzhou. It's a bit remote, but the hustle and bustle of the main city doesn't affect it here! The mountains are quiet, the spiritual energy is abundant, and the forests are dense, making it a good place for quiet cultivation and improving one's cultivation level!
At dawn! A bright light suddenly appeared in the sky above the ancient teleportation array plaza of Qingliang Temple, and instantly five figures appeared in the center of the array!
This powerful surge of teleportation energy startled the surrounding area, waking up the entire Qingliang Temple!
This ancient teleportation point hasn't been used for tens of thousands of years! The current abbot is Wujing.

The energy fluctuations of the teleportation array startled Wu Jing. He went outside to see the strange phenomenon in the sky, and silently clasped his hands together in the direction of the teleportation array!
"We have distinguished guests!"

Tens of thousands of years! Finally, the wait is over! Wujing was incredibly excited; tonight would be a sleepless night!
In the blink of an eye, Abbot Wujing arrived in front of the teleportation array, clasped his hands together in a salute to Sinan Pavilion and the others, without ever looking up to examine it closely.

"Abbot Wujing of Qingliang Temple welcomes the divine messenger to our temple!"

"No need for formalities! Daoist Wujing!"

Si Nange seemed to know the abbot of Qingliang Temple very well and treated him with great courtesy!
"We arrived suddenly! Sorry to bother you!"

"The arrival of the envoy brings an opportunity for Bi Temple to shine for ten thousand years, an honor for this lifetime! Please move to the main hall and follow me!"

"Alright! Thank you for your hard work, Daoist Master!"

Led by Si Nange, everyone followed the Taoist priest to the main hall of Qingliang Temple. The hall was decorated in a magnificent and bright style, and the surroundings were spotless, filled with a strong atmosphere of cultivation!
Everyone offered incense and kowtowed to the statues of the various deities, who were all guardians of the ancient divine realm!

Finally, Master Wujing led everyone to a reception hall, where everyone took their seats.

Si Nange and the Taoist priest subtly explained their purpose: they were just passing through and would be leaving after a short stay, so they asked them to arrange a few guest rooms for them to rest.

It was early morning, very quiet! Everyone was exhausted, having not had a proper rest for months, so it was time for a good meal!
After enjoying the late-night snack treated by the Taoist priest, everyone went back to their rooms to rest, recuperate, and begin their cultivation.
After months of suffering, Long Yi was exhausted! He slept until noon the next day. It was only because Si Nan Yunxi kept calling him from outside the door that Long Yi didn't want to get up. He just wanted to sleep in and wake up naturally!
"Brother Longyi, Brother Longyi! Wake up! Wake up! The sun's already high in the sky!"

"Boom boom boom!"

"Hey! Here I am! Here I am! My little darling! You won't even let me sleep in!"

Long Yi stretched and got out of bed with squinted eyes!

"Brother Longyi, I want to come in!"

"Okay! Come in!"

Si Nan Yunxi burst into Long Yi's room, eager to get started, and immediately clung to her beloved Long Yi brother! "Long Yi brother, hurry up! We're going to the main city, we're going shopping! We're just missing you! Hurry! Hurry!"

Long Yi, worn down by Si Nan Yunxi, lost all sense of self and reluctantly followed her out of the room into the hall.

Everyone was present in the hall except for Long Yi!
"Grandpa! Everyone's here, let's go! I can't wait any longer!"

Si Nanyun pulled Si Nange away!

"Alright, alright! You go with Long Yi and Elder Batu. Ao Sai and I have important matters to attend to! Let's meet in the city later!"

"Grandpa! Grandpa, you'd better hurry! We're waiting for you in the city!"

"Okay! Let's go! Let's go! Batu, you have to protect them both!"

"Yes, Hall Master!"

"Alright! Everyone, go! Let me have some peace and quiet!"

"Um...Grandpa, I'm going now!"

Si Nanyun pulled Long Yi and Batu towards the main city.

Qingliang Temple was still some distance from the main city, so the three of them abandoned the journey and flew directly into Youzhou City!

Along the way, Si Nan Yunxi kept telling people about the rare treasures, scenery, food, and local customs of the place!
It turns out that all girls are the same; they have no immunity to delicious food and beautiful scenery, which are the life they yearn for!
It was only then that Long Yi realized that Si Nan Yunxi and Batu were both human, and their wings were different from his. Long Yi was now using the dragon wings, which were unique to the dragon race, to soar through the sky!
"Are all the people in the Buddha Lotus Hall human?!"

Long Yi was very puzzled by this discovery, as it was very different from the desolate region.

After flying for several hours, more and more houses and buildings gradually appeared ahead, and more and more people came into view. The land was flat and was a great place for the production of various grains and crops. Various kinds of private farms were everywhere, with family insignia clearly visible. The territories of influence varied in size and shape, and wide roads had already appeared.

A straight and wide road leads directly into the main urban area, where people are busy working and vehicles come and go in an endless stream!

To save energy, avoid disturbing the local powers, conceal their identities, and facilitate travel, Long Yi and her companions entered the city on foot.

We're not far from the city center, and we can see the skyscrapers and bustling cityscape in the distance!
Walking along the road, Si Nanyunxi was very excited, skipping and jumping all the way. She was very curious about everything. One moment she wanted to look at other people's crops, the next she wanted to buy things, and then she ran to play. She got along very well with the old people and children here and couldn't stop for a minute!
With the help of the lively, mischievous, enthusiastic, and overly eager Si Nan Yunxi, the three of them quickly struck up a conversation with the caravan returning to the city.

Follow the crowd towards the main city of Youzhou!
