After the destruction of the Immortal Realm, I took in the fallen fairy.

"What makes Jinlu City unique... is it different from other cities?"

This isn't the first time that old fellow Tian Qianchen has specifically mentioned Golden Deer City.

Lin Heng wasn't just asking him and Xia Feng, but also about Gesang Nazha, who could connect with him on a deeper level.

After all, she had specifically mentioned Jinlu City to me a few days ago.

"I have no idea."

Gesang Nazha said calmly, "My mother manages the family business. I only know that many of our family's high-quality fairies are specially acquired by the fairy slave merchants of Jinlu City, and the fairy slave merchants of Jinlu City... seem to be even richer than the wealthy merchants of ordinary cities."

Is the Immortal Slave Merchant even richer than the Wealthy Merchant?

This was the first time Lin Heng had heard of this claim.

For example, in Linxian City, there has never been a family that made a fortune by selling immortal slaves.

Conversely, the truly wealthy merchants all appeared as buyers in the slave trade.

"Little teacher, it seems you haven't left Linxian City much!"

At this moment, Tian Qianchen couldn't help but sigh, "Actually, apart from the fact that the Immortal Slave is quite different from other places, Jinlu City is located between the capital and the border, and has many trade routes suitable for trade. Jinlu City can be considered one of the fastest-developing cities in our Tian Shu Kingdom."

"Like this thing."

As he spoke, Tian Qianchen took out a spirit stone.

He looked at Lin Heng and said, "Although spirit stones are the current hard currency, in a backward small city like Linxian City, they can only be used as a tool to resist demons during the demon tide. But since they are hard currency, they shouldn't only have this much value."

"So you mean there are other uses for spirit stones in Golden Deer City?"

"Um."

Tian Qianchen nodded slightly: "Just like the array formations researched by our General Administration Division, theoretically speaking, the array formations that existed in the Immortal Ancient Era relied on spiritual energy as an energy source to activate the array formations."

"But through studying the notes of the Five Source Immortals, we discovered the method of extracting spiritual energy from spirit stones to activate it..."

As he spoke, he gave Lin Heng a meaningful look.

Because he knew that most of the formations in Lin Heng's territory were also activated using spirit stones as an energy source.

Lin Heng's ability to flexibly use spirit stones as energy to activate arrays suggests either that he also obtained the Five Source Immortal Venerable's notes, or that he was simply an array-building genius born in the wrong era.

The Five Elements Immortal Venerable's notes are an absolute secret of the General Administration Division; they could never be leaked...

However, Tian Qianchen, being quite old, naturally knew what he should ask and what he shouldn't ask.

Especially after witnessing Lin Heng's abilities, he wouldn't linger on this topic for long.

He then shifted the topic back to Golden Deer City: "Although Golden Deer City is not yet at the point where it can use spirit stones to activate arrays, they have used the spiritual energy in the spirit stones to develop many unexpected industries."

"Industry?"

Lin Heng nodded slowly.

He understood what Tian Qianchen meant.

It simply means that the technology of Jinlu City is more advanced than that of the barren Linxian City.

However, he was somewhat curious about what kind of industries Golden Deer City could develop using the spiritual energy within the spirit stones.

"Young Master Lin, how about I take you around Golden Deer City tomorrow when we get there? I'll show you all the latest and greatest!"

Xia Feng took the initiative to extend an invitation.

To be honest, Lin Heng rarely saw this guy have such a great interest in anything other than immortal slaves.

Lin Heng, however, was somewhat suspicious: "You've been to Golden Deer City?"

Xia Feng replied frankly, "I haven't been there, but I've heard itinerant vendors in the market talk about it! Hehe, they were talking about places like Huan Yu Lou, Wang Chen Shu Lang, and Mi Jin Ge... I may not have eaten pork, but I've certainly seen pigs run!"

Lin Heng's eyelids twitched.

Why do these places sound so unreliable just from their names?

"Little teacher, if you haven't been to Golden Deer City before, I also suggest you go around with Xia Feng first."

Tian Qianchen said to Lin Heng, "After all, Golden Deer City is one of the few industries in our Tian Shu Kingdom that has continued to develop since the beginning of the Demon Calendar. Most importantly, if you are interested in Immortal Slaves, you should definitely experience this place."

"I remember you mentioned before that the celestial slaves of Golden Deer City weren't very helpful for my management of them?"

Lin Heng narrowed his eyes slightly as he looked at Tian Qianchen.

"Um."

Tian Qianchen nodded and said, "Because the immortal slaves of Golden Deer City are a bit different... Actually, they shouldn't be called immortal slaves, since the vast majority of the fairies who remain in Golden Deer City have not formed a slave spirit seal."

"The vast majority did not form a slave spirit seal?"

Lin Heng couldn't help but be a little surprised.

In the Magical Calendar, isn't the ultimate destiny of a fairy to become a fairy slave?

The fairy who did not form the slave spirit seal is more like an anomaly in this world.

"Although they will eventually become celestial slaves, it's different in Golden Deer City."

Tian Qianchen seemed to see through Lin Heng's thoughts: "In short... you'll know after we arrive tomorrow. Some things you have to see for yourself to understand."

……

After a brief conversation that night, Lin Heng finally understood.

Tian Qianchen called him out late at night and talked to him about Jinlu City, actually to prepare him mentally for experiencing a new city.

The developed Jinlu City will inevitably be vastly different from the impoverished Linxian City.

After a good night's sleep, the Oasis in the Clouds officially arrived at the city gate of Golden Deer City in the early morning.

Early in the morning, Tian Qianchen knocked on the door: "Little teacher, the city lord of Jinlu City has come in person. I'm afraid I'll have to go to the city lord's mansion for a while today. Why don't you go with Xia Feng and wander around to get familiar with Jinlu City? That guy has already started preparing at home."

Lin Heng nodded: "Yes, remember to ask the city lord for information about the Immortal Slave."

"Of course."

Tian Qianchen nodded and stepped off the Cloud Oasis first.

"After making preparations, we went down to the city."

Turning around, Lin Heng took out a few spirit stones from under Yun Qinghe's bed and put them in his pocket before calling to Mu Tinglan and the others in the room.

However, since the demonized Gesang Nazha was still in the house, even though there was a restriction from the Slave Spirit Seal, Lin Heng still felt it would be better to have someone keep an eye on her.

"Keep an eye on her today, then we'll find someone else later."

On their first day in the city, Lin Heng assigned this task to Song Jingyu, whose spiritual roots were volatile: "If you want any spirit herb seeds, have your sister go to the city and buy them for you."

"real?!"

Song Jingyu's eyes lit up: "It's okay if I don't go down later, as long as I have the spirit herb seeds!"

[Song Jingyu's loyalty has increased by 2, now standing at 68.]

This girl can stay in the courtyard all day long as there are spirit herbs...

But this is good, at least it makes it easier for me to make arrangements.

"Let's go soak in the Fairy Spring first."

Lin Heng led Yun Qinghe and Mu Tinglan to the bathing room first.

When he goes to an unfamiliar place, he can't possibly be completely unprepared.

Now, after several days of soaking, the Immortal Spring has lasted for nearly three hours.

However, after leaving the courtyard, Lin Heng did not immediately go to find Xia Feng. Instead, he arranged for the demon merchants from the Cloud Oasis to go into the city first to check out the market.

As merchants dealing in celestial slaves, they naturally have more experience in finding high-quality celestial slaves.

Professional tasks should be left to professionals.

As Lin Heng stepped out of the courtyard, he intended to knock on the door next door, but instead saw Xia Feng, with a large belly, rushing over from the Sand Fox family's shop.

"You've prepared quite thoroughly?"

Lin Heng raised an eyebrow and looked Xia Feng up and down.

This guy actually went to the Sand Fox family and bought a new set of clothes that looked decent enough.

"Hehe, when going to Golden Deer City, I naturally have to make myself look presentable."

Xia Feng rubbed his hands together: "What do you mean, Young Master Lin? Shall we go down now?"

"Um."

Following the vines of the oasis in the clouds, Lin Heng and the other two, along with Xia Feng, arrived on the ground.

In order not to disturb the city, the location where the Oasis in the Clouds stopped was more than 200 meters away from the city gate of Golden Deer City.

However, as they headed towards the city gate, Lin Heng began to notice the differences between this place and Linxian City.

Among the people entering and leaving the city gate, there were not as many demons as in Linxian City.

Most of them were wealthy people dressed like Xia Feng at that moment, who looked rich.

As Lin Heng drew closer to the city gates of Jinlu City, he also spotted many fairies dressed in glamorous attire.

In the Magical Calendar, there were even fairies dressed in such finery, with makeup and powder on their faces.

The fabric of their clothes alone looked expensive, not even counting the silver ornaments they wore.

As the saying goes, clothes make the man, and expensive fabrics make their stunning figures even more impressive.

At this moment, Xia Feng, who was standing beside him, had already been staring at a voluptuous fairy in front of him, her back wrapped in a green robe, and his eyes widened: "Damn it, if there weren't so many guards around, I would have gone straight to her back to form a slave spirit seal!"

"..."

However, at this time, Lin Heng had indeed discovered that Golden Deer City was completely different from Linxian City.

Although many wealthy merchants around them, like Xia Feng, were also eyeing the fairies with ill intent.

This is enough to show that even with such elaborate dressing up, it did not affect their low status in this era.

But it was precisely because of the contrast in the fairies' status and attire that Lin Heng felt something was amiss.

As they entered the city gate, two water spirit fairy maidens stood neatly on each side of the gate.

They greeted each person entering the city with a charming smile and a bow, saying, "Welcome, sir, to Golden Deer City."
