Chapter 8 Arrival in Fufeng City

  "Fufeng City was originally just a village, due to its proximity to the Demon Beast Mountain Range, it became an important passageway into the mountains. Over time, it developed into a town and eventually a city, after numerous renovations, it became the present-day Fufeng City!"

  Another dusk, Yun Bei Hu led the crowd into Fufeng City, and in Yun Zhong Zi's ear, everything about Fufeng City still echoed.

  The Demon Beast Mountain Range, one of the most famous giant mountain ranges on the entire continent, is located in the west of the continent, stretching north and south for millions of miles, spanning more than 100,000 miles east and west, with endless wealth and secrets buried inside.

  It is said that in the western part of the Magic Beast Mountain Range, there is an abyss that connects to the evil demon domain, but no one knows what it's like.

  To the east of the Monster Mountain Range, there were dozens of kingdoms established next to each other, and the Kingdom of Great Wind was one of them.

  The Fūfeng City of the Great Wind Nation is an entrance adjacent to the Demon Beast Mountain Range, and countless mercenaries, assassins, adventurers, trial disciples, and powerful cultivators who enter the Demon Beast Mountain Range come and go from this place.

  Fu Feng City was extremely prosperous, with people coming and going, weaving in and out continuously.

  Pulling open the curtains, looking at the people coming and going outside, Yun Zhongzi seems to be lost in thought!

  People coming and going on the street, each wearing leather armor, carrying long weapons on their backs, some with tattered clothes, covered in blood, hurrying along; others in groups of three or five, wearing new armor, walking out of the city; while some are very leisurely, strolling between the various shops on both sides of the street.

  However, they all have one thing in common: a sinister aura and icy eyes.

  "This is actually a good place!"

  Yun Zhongzi chuckled softly, put down the curtain, and quietly polished his true yuan.

  Chun Lan and her four sisters were diligently practicing a set of improved sword techniques that he had taught them: the Infinite Sword Manual!

  This is a specialized technique for cultivating sword energy, internally cultivating sword energy and externally using sword energy to temper the body. It is extremely sharp and good at attacking and killing. Unlike martial artists who first temper their bodies before cultivating their yuanqi (primordial energy), this technique can directly cultivate yuanqi, also known as sword yuan.

  The origin of energy is the general term for the internal energy cultivated by warriors in this world, similar to true yuan, with little difference.

  The Infinite Sword Art has some powerful moves besides the mental technique, and what Yun Zhongzi can bring out is much stronger than any martial art in this world.

  He had long thought about it and decided to cultivate these four women into beings similar to guardians to protect his path.

  Yun family is one of the few big families in Da Feng country, and naturally has a business in Fu Feng city.

  Although this mansion is not as large as the Yunfu in the Upper King's City, it is still quite spacious, covering an area of over 20 mu. Upon entering the mansion, Yun Zhongzi directly led the four girls to a small courtyard that had been arranged for them.

  The main hall, with a cloud-patterned northern window seat in the center, has quite an air of majesty.

  "Xī bó, hurry up and sit down, tell me about the situation here?" Yún běi hǔ said to the old man standing beside him with a bow, his tone was respectful.

  "Master Ninth, etiquette cannot be abandoned!" Xi Bo smiled and said, "In our Yun family in Fufeng City, there are only two businesses. One is the iron shop, which purchases ore and sells weapons; the other is the Danfang, which purchases medicinal herbs and sells elixirs and medicines."

  "Master Ninth, you also know that our iron shop can't compare to the royal family's, and our medicine shop can't compare to the Zhang family's. We can only engage in small business with meager profits. Every year, aside from the expenses of running the estate, we can only make a profit of 10,000 gold coins. After handing over some to the main house, there's barely 3,000 left!"

  "So little!" Yun Bei Hu furrowed his brow and sighed, "Forget it, I'll wait until I understand the situation before making a decision."

  "Yunbei Lang!" Yunbei Hu suddenly shouted loudly!

  "Long live the Emperor!"

  "I order you to lead the Forty Scarlet Tiger Guards into the Beast Mountain Range, only allowing you to penetrate a thousand miles in, gather resources, hone your martial skills, and increase your strength! Also, I'll have Xi Bo give you a batch of spare elixirs later."

  "Understood and obeyed!"

  Yunbei Lang took a big step back and his spirit rose greatly.

  More than ten days passed quietly.

  In the room, Yun Zhongzi opened his eyes and revealed a wry smile.

  "The speed of cultivation is too slow, it can't keep up with my expected progress at all!"

  Yun Zhongzi let out a sigh, his current body was like that of a fierce dragon, with a foundation that was too robust, but cultivating it was extremely slow. From leaving the imperial capital to now, more than a month had passed and he had only reached the peak of the third layer of the Foundation Building stage. "I need to refine some pills that can quickly increase my strength, and also obtain spirit crystals or magic cores!"

  In Yun Xi's crazy gift of his spatial ring, in addition to 100,000 gold coins, there were also 100 low-grade magic crystals. He didn't use these crystals, keeping them for emergencies.

  "You four continue to cultivate in peace, I'll go out for a trip."

  In the eyes of the four people who were complaining, Yun Zhongzi walked away with his hands behind his back. He didn't want to take a few silly girls out for a stroll on the street.

  "Tiger loyalty, tiger bravery, follow me!"

  These two men were the two guards assigned by Yun Bei Hu, both of whom were top-notch warriors, taciturn and loyal to their duties.

  "Yes, young master!"

  The two responded in unison and followed Yun Zhongzi from behind.

  Out of the gate is a prosperous street, fifty meters to the left is their iron shop, and to the right is Yunjia Danfang.

  "I wonder what level of alchemy this world has?"

  Yun Zhongzi thought to himself, in his past life he was infatuated with refining equipment and had almost replicated all the famous pre-heavenly treasures of the Honghuang world. Apart from the Saints, he could be considered the number one equipment refiner and formation master of the Honghuang!

  Brothers and sisters are inseparable.

  Later, he also became infatuated with alchemy and sought the teachings of Master Taiyi, the greatest alchemist in the world. He studied for tens of thousands of years until he personally refined the Eight-Turn Golden Elixir, at which point his alchemical skills were only slightly inferior to those of Laozi's first disciple, his senior fellow apprentice, Grandmaster Xuandu.

  The Danfang is not large, with only two counters, one for purchasing medicinal herbs and the other for selling dan medicine. There are only two or three people in the room, and business is clearly sluggish.

  Yun Zhongzi didn't bother to respond and directly handed a token to Fang Zhanggui, which was given to him by Yun Beihu.

  "It's the young master who has arrived, hurry up and invite him in!"

  The shopkeeper, in his fifties or sixties, looked at the token in his hand and hurried over to him, bowing and greeting him.

  "Don't bother, I just came over to take a look!"

  Yun Zhongzi waved his hand and walked straight to the counter, sizing up the various pills and powders under the glass.

  "Little master, those powders are mainly used to treat external injuries, stop bleeding, relieve pain, and heal wounds. The efficacy is quite good, most mercenaries need them!"

  Watching Yun Zhongzi's gaze staring at various scattered agents, Fang Zhanggui hurriedly explained, extremely worldly.

  Yun Zhongzi nodded slightly, neither affirming nor denying, and suddenly said, "Take out a portion of the scattered powder and dan medicine here, let me take a look!"

  Only by understanding the world's alchemy level and the effects of various herbs can he make plans.

  At the beginning in Yunfu, he had flipped through many books about the plants and herbs of this world. Unfortunately, due to the existence of the Church of Light, this world's understanding of spiritual herbs was not very sufficient.

  Healing doesn't necessarily require medicine, a Holy Light Priest, a Water Elemental Mage, or a Wood Elemental Mage can all have a very strong healing effect, and even bringing people back from the dead is not difficult.

  "Good young master!" Manager Fang hastily took out a copy and placed it on the counter, he hesitated for a moment, saying, "Young Master, if you need it, you must get approval from the head of the household first! The elixirs here are all quantified, I can't use them arbitrarily!"

  "Alright, this is the rule, I won't go against it!" Yun Zhongzi nodded, picked up a few Dan medicines and carefully examined them, occasionally sniffing them in front of his nose.
