Chapter 24 Chang'an Town
The capital of Qin Province, Haojing.
This is the largest city in the entire Qin Province, and it is also the political, economic and cultural center of Qin Province. In history, thirteen dynasties once established their capitals here, so Haojing also has the "Ancient Capital of Thirteen Dynasties"
title.
The entire Haojing pan-urban area is a no-fly zone, so Lin Yi and the others had to land on the ground after flying over the Qinling Mountains.
"The Xiaoyao Sect has set up a transportation transfer station at the foot of the Qinling Mountains specifically for the disciples of the sect. With this token, you can directly rent the vehicles in the station... I must rush back to the sect immediately to report what just happened.
If I go up, I can no longer accompany you." Liao Yuan took out a metal badge made of a special material and handed it to Lin Yi, "This area is patrolled regularly by monks from various sects of the righteous path. Evil cultivators and monsters will not
If any accident occurs, immediately use the messenger magic weapon in Najie. Any nearby monks who are willing to give us Xiaoyao Sect some face will come to support us."
"Okay." Lin Yi accepted the badge and watched Liao Yuan heading south on his flying sword.
Then, the two of them walked down the ridge... In less than ten minutes, the two of them saw a small town at the foot of the Qinling Mountains.
Although this town is not large, it is extremely lively. There are many pedestrians on the mountain road leading to the town. From time to time, people with flying swords will land on the ground and choose to walk towards the town.

Perhaps because this town is located on the edge of the no-fly zone, many people going to Haojing need to transfer to land transportation here. With this opportunity, the development of this town is pretty good, and many buildings have been built along the mountain.
Hotels of decent quality, various restaurants, pubs and markets can be found everywhere.
To the northeast of the town is a bus station - although the mass-produced Feijian has become the first choice for most people to travel, the ancient means of transportation such as cars has not been eliminated, but most of the cars have abandoned fossil fuels.
Instead, a new energy source called "Spirit Stone" was used.
"Spiritual stones" refer to those ores that contain spiritual energy. They are indispensable consumables in the cultivation process of immortals and are also the hard currency of the immortality world. Later, with the integration of immortality civilization and technological civilization, "spiritual stones" soon became
It has become circulated among ordinary people - in the world's major banks, spirit stones can be exchanged with regular currencies, and the exchange rate will fluctuate with the changes in the market... There is even a group of people who specialize in speculating on spirit stones.
speculators on stone exchange rates and an online platform dedicated to trading "virtual spiritual stones".
Spirit stones can not only be used for cultivation, but they are also a clean and efficient new energy source. Many equipment that originally require fuel or electricity can also be driven by spirit stones as long as the energy supply device is modified... In the original human civilization
In the history of the United States, the United States on the other side of the ocean was able to disturb the peace of the whole world because of that viscous black liquid. Naturally, this world has also experienced many large-scale wars due to the competition for spiritual stone resources.
During this period of time, Lin Yi consulted a lot of things on the Internet that are almost common sense to people in this world - the cultivation system is not unique to China, it also exists in Europe and the Americas across the ocean.
There are similar "ability users", but the cultivation system in the West is quite different from that in the East. In them, the cultivation system is divided into three types: "Warrior", "Mage" and "Warlock". There was also the birth of "
"Priest" is a profession, but after the failure of the Crusades and the loss of power of the Holy See, "Priest" was classified into the category of "Mage".
Although the cultivation systems are different, spiritual stones also exist in the West. In them, spiritual stones are called "crystals" or "magic crystals" and are a very important casting material and energy mineral - in ancient times,
In order to compete for this resource, many wars broke out between the East and the West. However, with the development of history, the contradiction between the East and the West gradually transformed into a contradiction between people with abilities and ordinary people. The identities and force fields of both sides of the war also changed.
Huge changes.
And the final result of evolution is just like what Lin Yi sees now - although the purpose of immortal cultivators is to "become an immortal", before they "ascend", they are still human beings and cannot exist independently of human civilization.
’s... And the foundation of human civilization is still those ordinary people who have no qualifications for cultivation, but who are huge in number.
This is the same even in the human empire, which respects strength... The trillions of ordinary people are the foundation and capital for the human empire to run rampant in the universe.
"What's the name of this town?" Lin Yi asked.
"Chang'an." Lin Qian replied, "Haojing used to be called Chang'an. This town was named this probably to tell people that when they come here, they are in Haojing."
The central square of Chang'an Town has now been sealed off. Lin Yi looked past the temporary wall and could see that a nearly 100-meter-high statue was being built in the square, with more than a dozen immortal cultivators stepping on flying swords.
They are suspended in mid-air on guard - on their arms, they wear eye-catching yellow armbands. The badges on the armbands indicate that these people are law enforcement officers belonging to the eight sects. If necessary, they have the ability to take action against ordinary people.
of power.
On the way, Liao Yuan had already told Lin Yi that the towns around the No. 45 restricted area were intensively building a second blockade. Although the top leaders of the eight major sects agreed that the first blockade could not be broken, for the sake of safety
, we still need to have the necessary backup skills.
This statue is actually the eye of a large defensive barrier. You only need to fill it with spirit stones to create a light curtain that stretches for tens of kilometers, completely isolating the space on one side of the Qinling Mountains.<
/p>
In Lin Yi's opinion, this thing is equivalent to a super-powerful energy shield generator... The cost of maintaining a defensive barrier of this size is very terrifying, and it is difficult to completely block out the abyssal creatures.
——There are many individuals among the abyssal creatures who have the ability to break through shields. In front of these individuals, energy shields are completely non-existent.
"Infiltrator, shield breaker, black squid, sharp needle dragon..." Lin Yi could casually name a dozen types of abyss creatures that can ignore energy shields. "This blockade... I'm afraid it will become
A 'Maginot Line'."
"Senior Lin, what are you talking about?" Lin Qian heard Lin Yi whispering to himself in a low voice and asked.
"Nothing, I just think this statue...may not be of use."
"Why? That's the barrier set up by the Eight Gate Sects. No matter what monsters come out of the No. 45 restricted area, they will be blocked by this barrier." Lin Qian was full of confidence in the Eight Gate Sects - for
For the natives of this world, the eight major sects are completely synonymous with strength. There is no problem in this world that cannot be solved by the eight major sects.
