Chapter 278 Trading

  Listening to her smiling words, Xu Yuan didn’t think that Li Qingyan was in love with him.

  The princess’s so-called “martyrdom” probably just told him that she, Li Qingyan, was already ready to die here.

  For a woman with almost all the qualities of an excellent general to say this, it can only mean that she is extremely pessimistic about his next actions.

  But even so, the princess did not deprive him of his status as “coach”

  Trust mixed with doubt.

  Xu Yuan sighed silently in his heart, a little helpless.

  ”Cangyuan” is just a game in the final analysis, but in reality there are too many details that games cannot cover.

  It’s like the ancient underground city with people in front of you, and Bai Muxi who shouldn’t be here.

  Who would have known in advance that after ten thousand years, there would still be human beings surviving in this lair of the White Walkers?

  Who knew in advance that this legged Jing Siming ran out of this underground palace?

  In addition, the butterfly effect will also bring uncontrolled variables to this dead and silent underground palace.

   Now that he is in a desperate situation, all he can do is to adapt to the situation as much as possible based on the existing information, use certain information to guide the situation, and try to control the development of the situation in his own hands.

  No words all the way,

  As the three of them continued to fly through the dilapidated ancient city, the streets below gradually began to change.

  The residential buildings on the periphery of the ancient city have changed from wooden to stone.

  Pry your soul into it, and you can sense the breath of some mortals from time to time, but these people are all huddled in the basement of the house with nervous expressions, and no one goes out.

Thinking, Xu Yuan glanced sideways at Bai Muxi who was flying beside the two of them.

  Flying in the wind, the female Si Ming’s gauze dress was tightly fitted to her graceful figure.

   Shaking and shaking.

   Before Xu Yuan could stare at it for too long, Bai Muxi’s crisp voice came over first:

  ”There was a huge earthquake in the Gorefiend’s Cave earlier. It should be that something happened in the ghosts. They can easily smell the breath of mortals. I ordered the mortals in the outer city to take refuge. Now that the warning is not lifted, no one is allowed to go out.”

  The punch of the barbarian king?

  Xu Yuan understood what he said, but immediately glanced at the direction he had just come from.

  I don’t know how the barbarian king, the big muscle bully of the alien race, is doing now.

  In “Cangyuan”, this barbarian king was a saint and strong man. The siege of the group should make him drink a pot.

  Thinking to this point, restraining his thoughts, Xu Yuan asked aloud:

  ”Si Ming, I see that most of the stone houses below are single households. Why don’t men and women live together?”

   “Living together?”

  Bai Muxi frowned, and her clear and sweet voice was straightforward: “Your Excellency, do you mean private intercourse?”

  Speaking,

  Bai Muxi hooked the corners of her lips, looked down, and said as a matter of course:

  ”The inner city will send blood armored guards to investigate every day. If they are detected, they will be punished directly and will be expelled from the city twice. Ordinary mortals dare not disobey the law.”

  “.”

  Hearing this, Xu Yuan was silent.

  Suppresses human nature and strictly controls the population.

  And at this time,

  Li Qingyan sighed and said:

   “The probability of the offspring born between a cultivator and a cultivator becoming a cultivator is much higher than that of a mortal. In the environment of a cave dungeon, the value of a mortal is almost equal to zero. Continuing the ethnic group and controlling the birth of mortals is the best and optimal choice, and this kind of thinking should have formed common sense in this cave dungeon over time.”

  Xu Yuan glanced at her when he heard the words, and said with a light smile:

   “So, don’t the high-level cultivators here become stallions?”

  Li Qingyan shook his head and said softly:

  ”The higher the level of cultivator, the lower the probability of giving birth to offspring. In order to maintain the population, the “shrine” here should organize “production” at a specific time.”

  Xu Yuan’s eyes twitched.

  impart, right?

  Pause for a moment,

  Li Qingyan’s serious voice suddenly disappeared, and a teasing joke came into his ears:

   “If you were born in this cave dungeon, Changtian, according to your personality, you should have been expelled from the city long ago, right?”

  Xu Yuan glanced back at the princess:

   “You know shit.”

   “I really don’t understand.”

  Li Qingyan nodded with a smile, squinting his beautiful eyes: “Chang Tianyou understands well?”

  Xu Yuan looked at each other without giving way, and smiled and transmitted the sound:

   “You will understand after we get married.”

   “Oh?”

  Li Qingyan raised his willow eyebrows, bent his phoenix eyes, raised his jade hand to compare the length in front of Xu Yuan, and then chuckled softly with a “poof”:

  ”Heh~”

  “.”

  Xu Yuan felt insulted, took a deep breath, and shook his head calmly:

   “I’ve seen people who talked about their skills beforehand. I hope Qingyan won’t be like her.”

  Li Qingyan licked his red lips, and the sight in his phoenix eyes was a little dangerous:

   “Like?”

   “days”

   Halfway through the speech, it stopped abruptly, Xu Yuan frowned.

  Why did he suddenly talk about the washboard saint?

Thinking about it, Xu Yuan realized a possibility, and there was a hint of disbelief in his eyes.

  Hiss. No way?

  The figure of Tianyan appeared in his mind, thinking deeply, but no related memories emerged.

  Li Qingyan also frowned:

   “Days?”

  Xu Yuan restrained his thoughts, coughed lightly, and shook his head:

   “Nothing.”

  If you don’t remember, then just pretend nothing happened.

   “Humph.”

  Li Qingyan stared at Xu Yuan and snorted, but didn’t go any further:

   “It’s fine if you don’t say anything, but if Chang Tian wants to take a concubine, remember to tell me.”

   “If you say it, you will agree?”

  ”No, but it will be convenient for me to tie Chang Tian into the barracks in advance.”

  “.”

  Xu Yuan rolled his eyes, ignored the woman, and looked deep into the ancient city.

  “.”

  Bai Muxi knew that the two were transmitting voices, but she couldn’t eavesdrop without disturbing the cold and beautiful woman.

   Seeing that the two of them didn’t speak any more, she said:

   “You two, we are about to enter the inner city.”

   “Hmm.”

  Xu Yuan replied: “I see.”

  Even with his own eyesight, he could vaguely see a magnificent city wall nearly twenty feet high standing quietly in the darkness not far ahead.

  Bai Muxi thought about it a little and said clearly:

   “What I mean is that before entering the city, I will prepare two clothes for the two of you, and hope that you will wear them outside the blood armor.”

  “.”

  Xu Yuan picked it up, and glanced at Li Qingyan’s slender and tall perfect curves wrapped under the black dead fungus armor.

  After a moment of silence, he took out a black robe from the Sumeru ring and threw it to her:

   “Qing Yan, you put it on.”

  “.”

  Li Qingyan took it, and stared at Xu Yuan with a half-smile:

  ”Since Chang Tian wants to watch alone, I will satisfy you.”

  After speaking, Xu Yuan hummed softly, her enchanting curves were covered by the bloated black robe.

  Bai Muxi, who was on the side, saw the sudden appearance of the black robe, her eyes were fixed, and her words were surprised:

   “Is this the Sumeru precepts recorded in the document?”

   “Hmm.”

  Xu Yuan responded softly, put one on himself, and asked in a low voice:

   “Si Ming, do you know this kind of armor underground?”

  Under the tulle, Bai Muxi smiled lightly:

  ”Once someone enters the fourth rank among the seven cities, they can enter the Blood Demon Cave under the leadership of the priest to collect such a piece of blood armor.”

   “Blood Armor? Is it the “Blood Armor Guard” that the soldiers on your outer city wall said?”

  Xu Yuan didn’t ask how the other party found out.

  Thousands of years, the human beings in this cave dungeon must have explored the “Blood Demon Cave” where the strange ghosts are entrenched countless times, and it is not surprising to find that the black death creep can form armor.

  Bai Muxi nodded, a trace of complexity flashed in her eyes, and said in a low voice:

  ”Well, but that’s all in the past. After the priest died, the official banned this armor. If it is seen by outsiders, people in the inner city may cause unnecessary trouble.”

  Xu Yuan chuckled lightly:

  ”Because this armor devours human life?”

   “Hmm.”

  Bai Muxi’s eyes were slightly surprised, and she reminded Xu Yuan: “Your Excellency, although this armor will make the wearer stronger, even if it is a fourth-rank powerhouse, once wearing this armor, the lifespan will be reduced.” will shorten rapidly.”

  “.”

  Li Qingyan frowned slightly at this moment, and said via voice transmission:

   “Long Sky.”

  Xu Yuan could hear the worry in her words, and smiled directly at Bai Muxi:

   “Xie Siming reminded that the reason why the armor devours life this time is because the source energy of the fourth-grade fusion state is not enough to meet the needs of the armor. I have source crystals, and there is a shortage of source energy.”

  If you don’t want gold, you have to die if you want power.

   “Original Crystal?”

  Bai Muxi’s eyes lit up for a moment: “But that spar that can supply Yuan Qi?”

  Xu Yuan grinned upon seeing this, and asked with great interest:

   “Why, Si Ming, do you really want it?”

  When Bai Muxi saw the smile on the corner of the other party’s lips, his eyes darkened for an instant, and the wide sleeves closed:

   “I hope you don’t misunderstand, I have no intention of snatching.”

   “I know.”

  Xu Yuan said indifferently: “I mean, do you want to make a deal with me?”

   “Deal?” Bai Muxi looked puzzled.

  Xu Yuan said in a low voice:

   “How about exchanging the “blood armor” you have accumulated for thousands of years for my source crystal?”

  Removing the black death creep on a large scale in a short period of time will attract the attention of the monster deep in the Gorefiend Cave, but listening to what Bai Muxi just said, there should be a lot of black death creep in the city.

   At least it should be enough to synthesize “blue equipment”.

  Although he can’t use it, he can give it to Li Qingyan.

   This princess repairs the army formation and walks in close combat, which is perfect for this kind of armor.

  Bai Muxi agreed without thinking:

   “Of course, it’s just the price”

  Xu Yuan smiled slightly:

   “Don’t worry, we’ll talk slowly when we get to the shrine.”

  Led by Bai Muxi, the highest authority in the city, “Si Ming”, the three of them entered the “Shengong” in the inner city without hindrance.

  Walking in the silent stone palaces, the sound of quiet footsteps spread far in the dark.

  Suddenly,

   “Two.”

  The crisp voice suddenly sounded: “My officer, can I ask you some questions?”

  Walking ahead, Bai Muxi’s face was covered under the tulle, staring at the two of them with bright eyes, hesitating to speak.

  Li Qingyan said nothing about this question, Xu Yuan responded:

   “What?”

  Bai Muxi asked hesitantly:

   “Above the ground. Are there still ghosts?”

  Xu Yuan’s voice is gentle:

   “The aliens have been slaughtered by our human race ten thousand years ago, and now the humanity on the ground is flourishing.”

  When Bai Muxi heard this, there was a touch of excitement in her beautiful eyes, and her voice speeded up a little unconsciously:

   “Are those two people from the Yaoshen Palace?”

  Yaojingong.

  Hearing this unfamiliar sect name, Li Qingyan subconsciously glanced at Xu Yuan.

  Xu Yuan heard old man Luo talk about this sect, because this sect played a pivotal role in the catastrophe of the strange ghosts ten thousand years ago.

  Paused for a moment, Xu Yuan smiled and shook his head:

   “No.”

  Bai Muxi’s beautiful eyes flickered for a moment, with a smile on her face:

   “That should be the person from Jiantian Pavilion?”

   “Neither.”

   “That’s Qianfeng.”

   “Commander.”

  Xu Yuan interrupted and smiled: “She and I are not from the sect, but from the dynasty.”

  Hearing this, Bai Muxi’s eyes became a little strange, and she looked aside to Li Qingyan:

   “Those mortal dynasties? But this one’s cultivation”

  Xu Yuan explained with a smile:

   “Thousands of years have passed since the outside world, and the sects you mentioned, except for the Jiantian Pavilion, have all been ground.”

  “.”

  The words fall,

  Bai Muxi subconsciously paused with her long, white legs exposed, and looked back at Xu Yuan in a daze, without saying a word for a moment.

  Xu Yuan was a little dumbfounded.

  I don’t know Qin and Han, regardless of Wei and Jin.

  This ancient city of karst caves is really an alternative “Peach Blossom Spring”.

  Thinking, Xu Yuan explained softly:

  ”Nowadays, the ground is the imperial dynasty, and the Zongmen empire ended four thousand years ago. It’s a vassal to the Dayan royal family.”

  “.”

   These words seem to have touched a little bit the three views of Bai Muxi, a fine-legged commander, who was blocked by the environment.

   After a long silence, she whispered to herself:

   “Dynasty in the world? Isn’t the dynasty all puppets of the sect, how can it beat the sect”

  “Thousands of years can change many things.”

  Xu Yuan interrupted Bai Muxi’s soliloquy, stared at her, then smiled and said, “Okay, although this information is not very important, Si Ming, you don’t think you’re making such a unilateral inquiry Is it impolite for us to ask?”

  Bai Muxi was silent for a while, and asked:

   “I don’t know what you want me to do for you?”

  Xu Yuan smiled and proposed a classic exchange condition:

  ”Of course it’s a deal. You ask a question, and I ask one. How about it? You don’t have to answer it, but you must not hide it.”

  Hearing this proposal, Bai Muxi seemed relieved, and said in a clear voice:

   “So good.”

  Xu Yuan raised a finger and asked straightforwardly:

   “First, what is the population in your ancient city, how many cultivators are there, and how much are the cultivators?”

  “.”

  When Li Qingyan heard this question, he immediately glanced back at Xu Yuan.

  Xu Yuan’s eyes signaled her to shut up.

  Of course he knew the question was offensive,

  It is almost equivalent to directly asking the woman the color of the other party’s obscene pants.

   But it doesn’t matter,

  As long as this woman is not stupid, she will definitely answer.

  Because they come from the ground, from the surface world where humanity flourishes.

   Based on this alone, Bai Muxi cannot refuse them.

  Bai Muxi’s pale skin against the ink-colored darkness, the three of them fell silent for a while.

  But soon, Bai Muxi made a decision, and said in a low voice:

   “This should count as three questions.”

  Xu Yuan laughed when he heard the words, thought for a while, and said in a low voice:

   “Heh, if that’s the case, then Commander, you will only answer two questions about cultivators.”

Under the tulle, Bai Muxi bit the corner of her lips, and told the truth:

  ”The Seven Cities League has a total population of 370,000, a total of more than 7,000 cultivators, a total of 17 fusion bodies, three great masters, and one from Yuanchu Yuanchu.”

  “.”

  Hearing these numbers, Xu Yuan and Li Qingyan subconsciously looked at each other, and they both saw an emotion called astonishment in each other’s eyes.

  In such a desperate situation, the humans in this cave dungeon still retain such combat power.

  And,

  If what the other party said is true,

  The proportion of mortals and cultivators in this ancient underground city is frighteningly high.

  Almost fifty to one.

  If in the Great Yan Dynasty, mortals and cultivators could have this ratio, it would be possible to fight civil wars while pushing the surrounding alien races flat!
