Chapter 294: Tongtian Monument
However, Duan Qing did not come here specifically to break into the Tower of Babel. Although he really wanted to break into the legendary Tower of Babel and compete with the heroes of the Central Plains, such a show of strength did not suit his current situation.
The reason why he came to Liuyue City was to get rid of the extra things in his hands, exchange them for some spiritual stones and elixirs, so that he could find a place to calm down and break through the state of mind.
He now has four storage bracelets in his hands, two of which were originally his, and the other two were obtained from Zhang Muzhi and the middle-aged man in white. There are also many things in the storage bracelets of the two, but he can't use most of them.
It would be a pity to throw them away, so he came to Liuyue City to sell the useless things.
According to Yuan Wuwu's memory, there are markets in the big cities of each state in the Central Plains for cultivators to buy and sell items.
"Stop, don't run!"
At this time, a cry suddenly sounded not far behind Duan Qing, causing many pedestrians on the street to look at it sideways.
Duan Qing looked back and saw a man in black robes running towards him in a hurry. He was slightly stunned. The man's figure was quite similar to his, and even the clothes on his body were almost exactly the same.
He was holding a small bag in his hand. The moment he saw Duan Qing, he was also stunned for a moment, then he walked around Duan Qing and disappeared into the crowd!
As soon as the black-robed man disappeared, a purple-skirted girl ran to Duan Qing quickly and looked at Duan Qing suspiciously. When she saw the bag on Duan Qing's waist, a trace of anger suddenly appeared on her face, and she stretched out her hand to grab Duan Qing's bag.
"Little thief, give me back my things!" The purple-skirted girl shouted angrily.
Duan Qing lightly turned sideways and dodged the girl's grab. He felt helpless. How could this be related to him?
"Don't misunderstand, fellow Taoist. The person you want to chase has already run away!" Based on the principle of keeping a low profile, Duan Qing patiently explained to him, and pointed to the direction where the black-robed man had just disappeared.
He had already seen that the purple-skirted girl was a cultivator, and like him, she had reached the late stage of Transcendental Cultivation.
But the purple-skirted girl obviously didn't believe Duan Qing's words. She pointed at Duan Qing with her hands on her hips and cursed: "Stop talking nonsense. My storage bag is with you. Don't try to deny it!"
Duan Qing frowned slightly. He didn't know whether this person was deliberately looking for trouble or was really that confused. Although the black-robed man just now was similar in shape and clothes to him, he looked completely different. Didn't he see the man's appearance clearly!
The purple-skirted girl was very angry. It was her first time to leave the sect. She wanted to come to Liuyue City to see the legendary Tower of Babel. As a result, she was stolen by this person as soon as she entered the city. That was the first thing her master gave her!
The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. Finally, she couldn't bear it anymore. She directly sacrificed a purple exquisite flying sword and pointed it at Duan Qing, and said angrily: "Are you going to give it to me or not!"
Duan Qing was also angry. This damn girl was really endless!
Due to the large number of people watching around, Duan Qing suppressed his anger. "I told you it wasn't me. If you don't believe me, you can ask everyone!"
When Duan Qing said this, some onlookers who had just seen the black-robed man running away immediately agreed.
"That's right, I just saw that man running to the north of the city!"
"I can also testify that it was definitely not this guy who stole your things. Little girl, you recognized the wrong person!"
"Yes, little girl, don't wrongly accuse him!"
"..."
The onlookers were talking one after another, all speaking for Duan Qing. After all, the black-robed man just ran past in a hurry, and many people saw it with their own eyes!
The remaining passers-by who didn't know the truth saw that many people were speaking for Duan Qing, and they also felt that the purple-skirted girl was making trouble, and they began to discuss it.
Seeing that the wind direction was directly one-sided, the purple-skirted girl couldn't help but doubt her own judgment. She looked back and forth carefully at the storage bag on Duan Qing's waist for several times, and found that although his storage bag was indeed somewhat similar to her own, it was clearly not her storage bag after a closer look!
This discovery made his face flush instantly. This time he was so embarrassed!
The purple-skirted girl's eyes were red, and she seemed to be about to cry. Her throat moved, and she looked at Duan Qing, wanting to say something but stopping. In the end, she couldn't say anything, so she covered her face and ran out of the crowd, and soon disappeared!
Duan Qing shook his head helplessly. This person had a great appearance, but his brain was not very good. It was rare that a mortal could steal things in the late stage of Transcendental Transformation!
As soon as the purple-skirted girl left, the crowd quickly dispersed. Duan Qing was not interested in wandering around the city, and went straight to the Tongtian Tower in the center of Liuyue City.
Generally speaking, cities with Tongtian Towers are places where monks gather near Tongtian Towers, and they are often also the places where the market is located.
As you get closer to the city center, you can more intuitively observe the magnificence of Tongtian Tower. The tower body is ten thousand feet high, and it almost feels like it goes straight to the sky.
Duan Qing walked for most of the day to get there for dozens of miles. It's not that he is low-key and unwilling to fly on a sword, but that he can't fly.
Because wherever there is a Tongtian Tower, there is a no-fly ban, so you can't fly even if you want to!
Along the way, Duan Qing found that the layout of Liuyue City was quite interesting. It was not like Cangzhou City, where buildings were connected to form the entire city, but it was divided into many areas, each area was separated by a canal, and the canals were connected to each other, extending in all directions.
He walked from the south of the city to the Tongtian Tower, a distance of dozens of miles, passing about ten canals, with ships coming and going in the canals, transporting all kinds of things.
Perhaps it was this well-connected canal system in Liuyue City that made Liuyue City so large!
Around the Tongtian Tower, there was an open space paved with bluestone, about two or three miles in size, and the four long streets around the open space were Duan Qing's destination, the market!
Duan Qing did not immediately deal with the extra items in the storage bracelet, but walked through the market to the bluestone open space where the Tongtian Tower was located, and observed the legendary Tongtian Tower up close.
Although he had seen the Tongtian Tower in his dream of Yuan Wuwu, he could not help but marvel when the Tongtian Tower was right in front of him.
The widest part of the bottom of the Tongtian Tower is about a hundred feet, and it gets smaller as it goes up. Looking up from where he stood, he could hardly see the end of the Tongtian Tower.
On the four sides of the Tongtian Tower, there is a stone tablet that is tens of feet wide and a hundred feet high. There are some words sparsely engraved on the stone tablet, which seems to be a person's name, and there are numbers after the name.
Is this the Tongtian Tablet!
Before the monks break into the Tongtian Tower, they must first leave their names on the Tongtian Tablet and inject their own spiritual power. In this way, when they break into the Tongtian Tower, the Tongtian Tablet can display the floor of the person who breaks into the tower in real time.
From the sparse names on it, it can be seen that there are not many people in the Tongtian Tower in Liuyue City at this time.
In addition to the four Tongtian tablets, there is a slightly smaller tablet in the south of Tongtian Tower.
Duan Qing walked to the tablet and scanned it.
In the 300th year of the Tianming calendar, Li Daoyi passed the 999th floor of Tongtian Tower in the Questioning Heart Realm.
In the 581st year of the Tianming calendar, Wen Wuchang passed the 99th floor of Tongtian Tower in the Transcendent Realm.
In the 1993rd year of the Tianming calendar, Yang Hao passed the 9999th floor of Tongtian Tower in the Spiritual Sea Realm.
