Yan Yun smiled back, saluted the two of them and said goodbye, and then left calmly.
When he disappeared from the alley, the tall man looked at the mid-level spirit stone in his hand.
He turned to look at the alley again, a fierce light suddenly appeared in his eyes. He asked the skinny man beside him in a low voice:
"Brother Bao, this strange man seems to be worth a lot. Not cheap. Should we..."
"Put away your unrealistic ideas. Haven't you noticed that this person is not wearing any spiritual tools?"
"Physical practitioners who are able to act in this way are either too poor to buy spiritual tools, or they think that their cultivation is strong enough and do not need the power of ordinary spiritual tools."
"Do you think this gentleman belongs to What kind of situation is that? "
The skinny man asked with a serious look on his face.
"This man is generous and obviously not a poor person. However, didn't he just buy Jiao tendon from us?"
The big man with disheveled hair hesitated and answered uncertainly. .
"Brother Xin, how can you be sure that the other party purchased the earth dragon tendons to make weapons and not to refine the materials needed to refine some special spiritual tools?"
"Now there is an influx of people in Anyuan City. There are a large number of body refiners from other places, and there are many masters with amazing strength. "
"Although we are not weak, it is better to be cautious after all."
The man surnamed Bao. After a moment of silence, he sneered.
"What the elder brother said makes sense. I am really too short of money and too impatient."
"However, the beast tide is about to come. If we don't have mid-level spiritual stones to supplement the spiritual tools, we will still face great risks."
Hearing the advice of the skinny man, the big man surnamed Xin gradually calmed down. , but still feel troubled.
“Don’t worry, as long as the beast tide arrives, the city lord of Anyuan City will definitely hire all the body refiners in the city, and a certain amount of spiritual stones will naturally be distributed for preparation.”
"As long as we save money, it will be enough for us to deal with the crisis."
The skinny man said confidently, as if he had already made a clear plan.
"It makes sense. According to the agreement between the Three Emperors and the Seven Demon Kings, cultivators above the foundation building stage are not allowed to participate in the actions of major cities to fight against the beast tide."
"If you want to protect the city from falling, except Apart from us body refiners, it may be difficult to find other suitable candidates.”
After hearing this, the big man with disheveled hair suddenly became energetic.
"It's good that you understand this. In fact, there are certain loopholes in this agreement, because there are basically no high-level monsters above level 5 in the herd."
"What exactly is it? It’s really difficult to say who has the upper hand in this agreement.”
The skinny man was filled with emotion.
The big man with disheveled hair also fell into deep contemplation.
After a while, the two of them packed up all the items on the ground, walked out of the alley again, and gradually merged into the bustling street.
Yan Yun gradually drifted away, leaving the hidden alley, and then began to wander on the nearby streets.
Not long after, he discovered that at the end of another busy street stood a bookstore specializing in various classics.
It turned out that this was the real purpose of the group of people who left Tiandong Company and sneaked into Anyuan City.
He stepped into this small bookstore, which looked quite bookish.
There are all kinds of books on the bookshelves, whether they are cosmic science about the movement of the heaven and earth and the stars, or anecdotal notes about the customs and customs of all over the world.
Or the all-encompassing theories of various schools of thought, you can find them all in this bookstore.
However, only Yan Yun, as an unqualified practitioner, knew that such an ordinary mortal bookstore did not have books such as the essence of jade slips and auxiliary training techniques.
However, Yan Yun didn't mind this at all.
With his sharp eyes, he immediately locked onto the area where the books introducing the environment and culture of the spiritual world were placed. These books were exactly what he was eager to learn about.
He selected several thick classics without hesitation, and finally pocketed a detailed map of the nearby area.
Although Yan Yun did not carry any gold or silver treasures, spirit stones were equally precious to mortals. Moreover, in the eyes of this shop owner, a spirit stone of the lowest quality was enough to exchange for a lot of silver.
Therefore, when Yan Yun handed over the spiritual stone, the shop owner immediately beamed with joy, and then enthusiastically gave an extra amount of silver to express his gratitude.
Then, Yan Yun held the thick books in his hands and walked into a bustling restaurant.
He chose a relatively secluded corner to sit down, ordered a few home-cooked dishes, and began to read these books intently.
Although Yan Yun can only rely on physical strength to carry out activities now, his talent is still alive - the photographic memory he has had since he was a child comes in handy at this time.
Although these books are incredibly thick, in Yan Yun's hands, they turn pages very quickly.
Every word was deeply imprinted in his mind, as if he had read it countless times.
Yan Yun's face always remained calm, but deep in his heart there was already a storm. The information he learned from the book was really shocking.
First of all, he learned that the Tianyuan Realm that he had been hearing talked about by everyone in the Tiandong Company on the road was actually the realm ruled by the Tianyuan Holy Emperor among the three emperors of the human race.
In addition, there is the Xuanwu Realm controlled by the Xuanwu Overlord, and the Tianling Realm governed by the Tianmiao Linghuang.
These powerful human sages are collectively known as the "Overlord" and the "Spiritual Emperor".
As for the Tianyuan Holy Emperor who was originally a human body trainer and later turned to Confucian cultivation, he enjoys the title of "Confucian Emperor".
The Tianyuan Realm under the rule of the Tianyuan Holy Emperor is the closest to Yan Yun's past life among all the territories.
I have to say, this is indeed a blessing. These three human territories are vast worlds with endless populations.
Among them, many urban areas are densely distributed, ranging from small settlements to large towns.
Take Anyuan City as an example. The total population of this city is close to 100 million. However, from the perspective of the entire spiritual world, its scale is still relatively small.
In comparison, those capital-level cities far exceeded the level of Anyuan City in terms of both area and population.
Especially Tianyuan City, the residence of the Holy Emperor Tianyuan, is almost comparable in size to a small kingdom in the human world.
In comparison, Tianyuan City is considered a quite normal existence for the residence of the other two emperors.
In particular, Xuanwu City, where the Xuanwu Overlord is stationed, is actually built on the back of an ancient giant turtle named "Xing Ling". It can be said to be a giant city on the sea that can move slowly.
The Tianling City of Tianmiaoling Emperor is even more jaw-dropping. It is located directly on a sky-supporting spiritual tree with a diameter of a hundred miles, which is said to be able to reach the fairy world directly.
When Yan Yun saw this, he was naturally shocked beyond words.
However, what surprised him even more was yet to come.
According to the records in these books, in addition to the territories under the jurisdiction of the three emperors, there are also seven demon lands nearby ruled by seven demon kings. The relationship between the demon clan and humans is actually A complex state of both hostility and cooperation.
The reason why this is so is because even if the territories of the Three Realms and the Seven Demon Lands are added together, they only occupy the tip of the iceberg of the spiritual world.
Beyond the areas controlled by the two major races, the domineering territories belonging to other types of alien creatures are located in it.
Most of these life forms originate from the spirit world, such as various races represented by numerous ancient beasts and treasures, ancient giants, or various social creatures that are similar to humans, break through difficulties, and take the initiative to come here.
Although our understanding of these alien races is limited, the several races in the existing records cannot be underestimated.
Its power is no less than that of the human race and the demon race. Each has its own unique magical abilities, and its power is even comparable to that of the two major races of humans and demons.
In addition, in the spirit world, there are many individuals whose strength is comparable to that of the immortals in the real immortal world, such as Luohu, Kunpeng, Zhenlong, etc. whom Yanyun knows. To some extent, they can all cast aside Open interface constraints and become a formidable existence.
However, even though there is a continuous succession of outstanding people from the human and demon races who have vast magical powers, they still need to carefully find a foothold in the spiritual world.
Although they fight fiercely with each other on weekdays, and small-scale conflicts occasionally break out, when faced with powerful threats, the two have to work together to resist the enemy.
The situation did not improve until the initial Three Emperors Realm and the Seven Demons Realm were officially established.
This is mainly due to the huge legal net created by the first three emperors and seven demon kings as well as the original human heroes and demon heroes. This legal net covers the three realms and the seven lands. Inside.
According to rumors, this formation is mysterious and unpredictable. It is an ancient fairy formation derived from the true fairy world. It is specially designed to contain overly powerful alien creatures.
The more powerful the biological individual is, the more likely it is to be resisted by such restrictions and unable to penetrate deep into the protection of the law.
On the contrary, those alien beings whose strength is close to or lower than that of mid- to low-level monsters are not subject to this restriction.
This huge legal network has ten formation bases distributed among the three realms of the human race and the seven realms of the demon race.
As for the formation base of the Land of Demonic Beasts, the book does not give a clear answer, but the formation base of the Three Emperors Realm is located on the Tianyuan Holy Mountain where Tianyuan City sits, and the ancient "Xuanling" in the Xuanwu Realm. Turtle, and the Qingtian Spirit Tree at Tianling City's home ground. The Holy Mountain, the Ancient Turtle, and the Spiritual Tree are completely destroyed, otherwise the restrictions controlled by humans will remain intact.
For this wonderful legal net in human territory, it is difficult to predict the other formations in the Seven Lands of the Demon Clan. What kind of complexity does the foundation present? Unless they have the ability to challenge the power of the ten major formations at the same time, the powerful creatures that invade the residence of the human and demon tribes are undoubtedly wishful thinking. It is precisely by relying on this super fairy formation that the human and demon tribes can survive in the vast spiritual world. The world thrives and eventually wins
However, looking at the entire human race from the time they first set foot in the spiritual world, no one has ever explored how large it is. The vastness of the spiritual world can only be described as boundless and endless. Magnificent.
After reading this, a trace of doubt emerged in Yan Yun's heart. In this case, in the spiritual world, the area controlled by the human race is so small, how to ensure that practitioners from the lower world can accurately land in the areas controlled by the two races? If they were unfortunate enough to be outside the super immortal formation, wouldn't they be in an extremely dangerous situation?
The confusion in Yan Yun's heart was not answered in these books, so he had to keep it in his heart for the time being.
According to the book, Yan Yun also discovered that in the spiritual world, the overall strength of the demon clan is relatively better than that of the human race.
However, the advanced practitioners of the human race seem to be slightly ahead of the demon race.
It can be seen that a strange balance has been formed between the human and demon clans, which is why the first three emperors and the seven demon kings were able to sit down and jointly formulate a series of agreements to safeguard the interests of both parties.
The content of this agreement covers many aspects. For example, in human territory, high-level immortal cultivators are not allowed to eliminate those low- and middle-level monsters living in the wilderness areas without authorization.
It is also forbidden to participate in any beast wars that periodically break out in major towns.
In addition, within the domain of the demon clan, it is strictly prohibited to arbitrarily capture, torture or kill humans. A suitable residential area must be specially set up for humans and ensure that they are fully protected.
The main reason why such an agreement was reached is that when the three realms and the seven demon lands were first divided, the situation in the areas where the human and demon tribes lived was very chaotic.
Although we have tried our best to divide the areas where humans and monsters are most concentrated, there are a large number of alien races in both areas.
For human monks and demon cultivators with higher cultivation levels, migrating here is not difficult.
However, for those ordinary groups of monsters and beasts that have not yet been civilized, as well as people living at the bottom of human society, it is difficult for them to migrate long distances, and they can only choose to stay where they are and accept the rule of other races.
During this process, atrocities such as the blind slaughter of other tribes will inevitably occur. For this reason, the two tribes have fought many wars. After many hardships, the current agreement has been formulated.
Of course, the documents in Yan Yun's hands only involve a few key agreements, and the description of the details is slightly brief.
But for the problem of beast tide, he specially selected a related book and had a very in-depth understanding of it.
The so-called "beast tide" actually refers to the fact that some ordinary beasts have too strong reproductive capabilities and are protected by the agreement between the Three Emperors and the Demon King.
High-level human beings with magical powers cannot be eliminated at will, so every once in a while, in order to compete for living space, they will fall into a situation of fighting each other. This is the so-called "beast tide".
However, if there are human cities around these areas, then the low-level monsters born from these beasts will lead their uncivilized kind and launch semi-suicidal attacks on human cities.
Therefore, except for some large cities, most human cities will be invaded by beast tides on a regular basis.
The more remote a small city is, the higher the frequency of encountering beast tides.
Although very few cities have actually been captured by beasts over the years, whenever a beast tide breaks out, the low-level beings among the human race will inevitably suffer huge casualties. (End of this chapter)
