Chapter 1967: Acting Alone!
In the past few days, Zhou Yu’s injuries have significantly improved under the treatment of that divine-grade high-level elixir.
At this moment, his external wounds have basically healed.
The meridians within his body have also gradually begun to reconnect.
Of course, it will still take quite some time to completely recover the meridian injuries.
However, Zhou Yu can now exert some martial arts power in the realm of body refinement.
Seeing Zhou Yu recover considerably, Que’er was very excited as well.
At this moment, seeing Zhou Yu awake, she quickly said to him:
"Young Master Zhou, look over there!"
"That’s Black Sand City."
"Once we arrive in Black Sand City and deliver the supplies to the City Lord Mansion, this mission will be complete."
"I will find a way to look for the best pill medicine in Black Sand City to heal your injuries."
Hearing this, Zhou Yu smiled slightly and said:
"Thank you, Miss Que’er."
Then, he also looked ahead.
When he saw the giant Black Sand City, Zhou Yu was instantly stunned.
Having been accustomed to the skyscrapers of the Human Clan Plane, seeing this gigantic city surrounded by towering black walls made him feel as if he had been transported to another world.
At the same time, he was also overwhelmed by the grand aura emanating from Black Sand City.
This Black Sand City is not a simple city at all.
Even from several miles away, Zhou Yu could sense the terrifying formation aura exuding from Black Sand City.
The strongest formation Zhou Yu had ever seen before was a fragment of the Ancient God Array.
But even this fragment of the Ancient God Array was nothing compared to Black Sand City.
Just the terrifying aura alone exceeded Zhou Yu’s comprehension.
The little knowledge he had of the array path was passed down to him by an old man.
In the Human Clan Plane, it was naturally enough to be called a master.
But in the Heavenly Origin World, such skills were mere tricks, not worth mentioning at all.
Seeing Zhou Yu’s shocked expression, Que’er covered her mouth and laughed:
"Young Master Zhou, do you feel amazed?"
"Actually, it’s just average here."
"There are many big cities in the Heavenly Origin World, much larger than Black Sand City."
"Especially those cities ranked in the top ten of the Heavenly Origin World."
"They are not just a hundred times larger than Black Sand City."
"Once I complete my task, I’ll take you to visit them."
Hearing this, Zhou Yu took a deep breath, calmed the shock in his heart, and then smiled:
"Thank you, Miss Que’er."
As they chatted and laughed, the convoy soon arrived at the foot of Black Sand City.
Upon reaching the city, Zhou Yu finally saw that Black Sand City was not only enveloped in a terrifying formation aura but also had a large number of guard teams on its walls.
In addition, the city walls were also filled with various equipment.
Although Zhou Yu had never seen them before, just by looking at their appearance, he could tell that these pieces of equipment were probably used to defend the city.
With such a vast city and such a powerful formation, are these pieces of equipment still needed?
Zhou Yu couldn’t help but feel some doubts.
At this moment, Liu Tang came in.
He nodded at Zhou Yu and then looked at Que’er.
"Miss, the security of Black Sand City is over ten times stricter than the last time I came."
"I inquired a bit just now."
"Although the City Lord Mansion has not released any information, many people are saying that traces of the desert black wind have already been spotted deep in the desert."
"In addition to encountering the Fire-eyed Flying Ants along the way."
"I suspect that this time, there might really be a desert black wind."
"Once we enter the city, let’s complete the supply transfer as soon as possible and then leave."
Hearing this, Que’er nodded.
"Alright."
"However, Mr. Liu, finding medicine for Young Master Zhou should not be delayed."
Liu Tang chuckled.
"Rest assured, Miss, I will have someone handle it at the same time."
"That’s good."
After saying that, Liu Tang left.
Soon, the convoy completed all the entry procedures and drove into the city.
Zhou Yu sat in the carriage without showing his face.
However, during the half-hour it took to enter the city, he sensed at least a hundred cultivators going in and out of the city.
The vast majority of these cultivators were at the Foundation Establishment stage.
Counting them all, there were less than five in the Golden Core stage.
Going further up, there was not a single one.
Zhou Yu had never seen so many cultivators before.
For a moment, he was indeed curious and couldn’t resist wanting to observe these cultivators more.
But to avoid unnecessary trouble, he restrained himself.
Nonetheless, Zhou Yu already had a general understanding of the strength distribution of the cultivators here.
It seems that the majority of those entering and leaving here are Foundation Establishment stage cultivators.
To see a part is to understand the whole.
From this, it can be inferred that the main body of cultivators in the Heavenly Origin World is probably also at the Foundation Establishment stage.
If that’s the case, it seems the path of cultivation is quite difficult indeed.
Otherwise, there wouldn’t be so few Golden Core stage cultivators, and let alone seeing a single Nascent Soul stage one.
While Zhou Yu was silently analyzing, the convoy had already smoothly entered the city.
Inside the city, it was far more prosperous than the barren desert outside.
At this moment, the streets of the city were crowded with people, with many demon beast auras as well.
Of course, many people stayed far away from those cultivators who could command demon beasts.
After entering the city, Liu Tang came in again.
"Miss, I have already made contact. We will now go to the City Lord Mansion to transfer the supplies."
Que’er nodded:
"Alright, do everything according to your plan."
Then, Liu Tang looked at Zhou Yu.
"Brother Zhou, I have also dispatched people to the major shops in the city to gather spiritual medicine. Rest assured."
Zhou Yu nodded:
"Thank you."
Then he suddenly said:
"Miss Que’er, Mr. Liu, it’s my first time in Black Sand City, and I’m very curious about this place."
"I would like to go take a look."
"How about you give me an address, and I’ll come find you to meet up later."
Hearing this, Que’er was stunned for a moment, then said:
"Are you fine on your own?"
"I can send someone with you."
Zhou Yu immediately waved his hand:
"It’s fine, I can manage. Miss Que’er should attend to her important matters first."
Hearing this, Que’er thought for a moment and said:
"Alright then."
At this point, Liu Tang took out a token from his pocket and handed it to Zhou Yu.
"Brother Zhou, this is the token of my Skywind Mercenary Corps."
"With this, your expenses here can be charged to the account of my Skywind Mercenary Corps. Afterwards, we’ll settle the bill regularly."
"You can go explore and come to the Skywind Tavern at the city center afterward. It’s a property of our Skywind Mercenary Corps. We’ll go there after finishing our tasks."
"It’s right in the center of the city, very easy to find."
Zhou Yu nodded:
"Alright, no problem."
After saying that, Zhou Yu got off the carriage and headed towards the city center along the street.
Meanwhile, Que’er and the others rushed to the City Lord Mansion for the supplies transfer.
As Zhou Yu walked along the street, his eyes continuously scanned the shops on both sides.
Suddenly, he saw an ancient bookshop and quickly walked in.
The reason he had come out alone was to find some books on the Heavenly Origin World to quickly understand the overall situation.
This ancient bookshop was undoubtedly the best choice.
