Is it true that this Fortune Cat really gathers wealth?
Otherwise, how could a merchant from the Great Yuan Dynasty suddenly emerge and purchase so many pre-cooked dishes from the Evergreen Commerce Association?
But I still have to thank that Wu Xiaoliu, I promised to give a commission, so it must be paid.
By noon the next day, Li Changqing had already entered the realm of Beihan Country.
Originally, Li Changqing thought Beihan Country would be very cold, just like the Great Yuan Dynasty, but to his surprise, Beihan Country wasn’t like he imagined. The name misled him, and as he journeyed, it instead felt like spring all year round.
Everywhere, abundant crops could be seen, with each charming small town, and grand cities, guarded by numerous soldiers.
Li Changqing didn’t stop and flew straight towards the capital of Beihan Country, Beihan City.
By the time he actually arrived in Beihan City, it was already late afternoon, and the skies were gradually darkening.
The sunlight cast down, slanting onto the city of Beihan City, giving this majestic city a unique beauty.
This was Li Changqing’s first time leaving Changting Town so far.
In this unfamiliar world, being so far from his warm nest, even with his experience from two lifetimes, Li Changqing felt somewhat nervous, akin to taking a train from the north to the south for the first time in his past life.
Moreover, this was a fantasy world, and the dangers outside were unpredictable. There was a possibility of encountering robbers and being shot down in mid-air unknowingly.
Luckily, everything went smoothly along the way, and Li Changqing admitted to having a bit of persecution paranoia.
Now that he had arrived, Li Changqing wasn’t as worried anymore.
At least with Ah Fei by his side, it was a companion that made him feel more at ease.
Outside Beihan City.
Li Changqing had Ah Fei transform into a small puppy lying on his shoulder, then proceeded towards the city gate.
Beihan City truly lived up to being the largest city in Beihan Country.
The city gate was grand and imposing, and standing before it, Li Changqing felt a strong sense of oppression.
The city gate stood a hundred meters tall, with the huge stone-engraved characters "Beihan City".
What came forth was a sense of killing intent and chill.
Li Changqing could imagine that beneath this gate lay the unknown number of heroic souls who had died in battle.
Since ancient times, how could a dynasty like this be peaceful?
Looking around, there were city guard soldiers at the gate, clad in armor with an eagle-like gaze surveying everyone coming and going. A few of the leading soldiers wore silver armor, possessing the Postnatal Realm’s cultivation.
With physically strong bodies, their indelible battle intent deterred those coming and going, warning them not to stir trouble in the city.
Following the long official road, Li Changqing finally entered the city.
The streets were much wider than those in Changting Town, wide enough to allow ten carriages to pass side by side without feeling crowded.
On both sides of the street were various trees and various shops.
The streets were bustling with people coming and going, but only after walking further did Li Changqing begin to see pedestrian stalls appearing along the street.
Moreover, the mansions lined along the roadside were extraordinary, indicating that those living here were officials and dignitaries.
Those entering and exiting were very exquisite, and even the servants were neatly dressed. The vehicles parked at the gates were extremely luxurious, and even the horses were not ordinary, containing traces of Spirit Beast blood, making Li Changqing dazzled.
"The world outside is indeed vast. Compared to this, Changting Town is just a countryside," Li Changqing sighed, realizing that the Yan family’s abode, once considered impressive, paled in comparison to here.
He strolled around the streets, seeing many fascinating things, broadening his horizons.
Li Changqing believed the saying from books to be true, that reading ten thousand books was not as good as traveling ten thousand miles. All the books he read at the Ten Thousand Books Tower weren’t as relevant as his current experiences.
Nevertheless, Li Changqing didn’t forget his purpose here, to find the Fifth Grade Realm-Breaking Pill.
Initially, he visited a couple of large commerce associations inquiring about the Pill. However, upon learning Li Changqing wanted a Fifth Grade Realm-Breaking Pill, they shook their heads, saying it wasn’t available unless a major auction took place, where such an item might be auctioned off.
But the next auction was at least two months away.
Li Changqing really couldn’t wait that long.
His son was waiting to break through with this pill.
So, Li Changqing had no choice but to consider going to the black market.
But then came the difficulty; Li Changqing had no idea where the black market was.
He asked around on the street, but people only gave him puzzled looks and shook their heads, saying they didn’t know either.
He saw some patrolling soldiers and thought about asking them, but reconsidered. After all, the black market was surely an illicit place; asking about it might make the soldiers mistake him for a suspicious character.
Gradually, darkness fell, and Li Changqing still hadn’t found the location of the black market.
However, even at night, Beihan City remained brightly lit and very bustling.
He heard music playing from afar and followed the sound to find many women singing and dancing in a square.
