Chapter 1,373 Emperor City
Going to Tiandi City to investigate was something Duan Qing had planned for a long time.
It’s just that his original plan was to go there in two years, but since Ou Yezi mentioned the matter of Gongmen Ding, and he has been unable to practice magic recently, it’s okay to stay in Xianling City, and Nan Ying invited him. When he was out hunting, he simply put the matter in advance.
After all, the sooner Xiao Hong is repaired, the sooner he can continue to refine the Mo Xu Sword embryo.
Although the sword embryos cannot be refined in a short period of time, the sword embryos can be used after all. The more the sword embryos are, the more powerful the Xuansu Sword Formation will be.
And there is no harm in preparing a few more sword embryos to be prepared.
"Well, do you need me to send someone or accompany you?" Nan Ying asked seemingly casually.
Duan Qing thought for a while and then sent a message to refuse: "No need. As an elder of Xianling City, Mr. Nanda has a somewhat sensitive status. I'm afraid it's not appropriate to go to Tiandi City. Now I'm going to Tiandi City. It's enough for me."
When Nanying thought about it, it seemed that this was indeed the case, so she did not refute it.
Next, under Nan Ying's order, the original team of nearly a hundred people was divided into teams of five people, and they acted in a dispersed manner.
In the name of expanding the search scope and continuing to search for scavengers, it is actually creating conditions for Duan Qing to escape.
Naturally, Duan Qing, Hu Youwei and others, as well as Nanying himself, were assigned to a small team.
After sending the rest of the people from Fairy City away, Duan Qing and his group of five headed straight north, speeding towards the Tiandi City located in the center of the Black Prison.
…
Three days later.
The center of the Black Prison is a vast plain that is thousands of miles in size. In the center of the plain, half a solitary mountain stands.
The reason why it is said to be half a mountain is because there is no upper half of the lonely mountain. There is only a base of the mountain that is dozens of miles in size, as if it had been flattened with a knife and axe.
On the surface of the flat mountain base, there is a large-scale city with a radius of about ten miles.
From the four gates of the city, you can see monks coming in and out, a busy scene.
This city is none other than the Tiandi City, one of the five major powers.
At this time, outside the south gate of Tiandi City, a group of about ten monks were waiting for something with dejected expressions.
After a while, two Sui guards walked out of the south city gate. One of them glanced at the people waiting outside the city and asked loudly.
"Everyone who wants to enter our Heavenly Emperor's City must first report their names and cultivation levels, as well as the forces they belong to in the outside world."
After everyone heard this, they reported their information one after another.
"Xiahou Gang, under the command of the Heavenly Emperor Star Juluhou, in the middle stage of the Immortal Realm!"
"I have heard from humanity, under the command of the Heavenly Emperor Star Pegasus Marquis, in the late stage of the Immortal Realm!"
…
Soon, it was the last person's turn.
"Qiu Linqing, a cultivator of the Heavenly Emperor Star, in the middle stage of Guiyi Realm!"
The speaker was a young male, with an average appearance and a medium build. He was the kind of person who would not be found in a crowd.
This person is naturally Duan Qing, who has changed his appearance using the transformation technique.
The relationship between the five major forces in the Black Prison is very delicate. It is a very sensitive matter for someone from a certain force to enter the city of another force. Unless there is a legitimate reason, it is basically impossible.
Therefore, there are only two ways to sneak into Tiandi City.
One is to take refuge voluntarily, and the other is to be sold into Tiandi City as a slave.
Obviously, Duan Qing chose the first option, changing into the appearance of the Sui clan, pretending to be a newcomer who had just entered the black prison, and came to seek refuge in Tiandi City.
To be on the safe side, Duan Qing's current Sui clan is one of the seven Sui clan corpses he obtained in the Zhenji Palace.
The Sui clan, which has been dead on the Wuxu planet for almost a million years, can basically completely rule out the possibility of extraneous problems.
In fact, when he, Xiong Yi, and She Tai pretended to be the Sui clan on Wuxu Planet, the changed appearance of the Sui clan was also based on those seven corpses.
Regarding the information reported by Duan Qing and others, the two Sui clan guards did not ask any more questions. They just recorded everyone's information in a book and then led them into Tiandi City.
This kind of thing happens almost every day in Tiandi City, and the two guards are already used to it.
In order to please the Black Emperor, the people under the Black Emperor rarely kill their opponents directly. They basically arrest them first and then send them to the Black Prison.
As one of the five emperors of the Sui clan, the Black Emperor has many capable people under his command. The people who are captured and sent to the Black Prison by the Black Emperor's command are basically a hundred or so every day, sometimes even more.
Some of these people who enter the black prison cannot accept the reality and choose to commit suicide, some choose to wander or join the scavengers, and some will join the five major forces according to the forces they belong to in the outside world.
Generally speaking, people from the Heavenly Emperor Star will join the Heavenly Emperor City, and people from the Fairy Alliance will join the Fairy City.
Under the leadership of two Sui guards, a group of more than a dozen people entered the city, and then went through the next step of more detailed registration, and finally issued identity tokens.
After registration, Tiandi City will further distribute the people who enter the city based on their personal cultivation and what they are good at.
"Xiahou Gang has heard of humanity. You two join the city gate guards."
…
"Qiu Linqing, you know how to refine weapons, right? Go to the weapon refinement workshop."
Duan Qing couldn't help but secretly rejoice when he heard that he would be assigned to the weapon refining workshop.
Sure enough, people who can refine weapons are in demand everywhere!
I just deliberately said that I knew how to refine weapons when registering, but I was actually assigned to the weapon refinement workshop in Tiandi City as I wished.
This result is undoubtedly the most ideal for Duan Qing.
The purpose of his coming to Tiandi City was, first, to investigate the situation in Tiandi City, and second, to meet Gongmen Ding, the owner of the weapon refining workshop, and ask Gongmen Ding to help repair Xiaohong.
Considering these two purposes, sneaking into the weapon refining workshop in Tiandi City is obviously the best choice.
The people in Tiandi City are very capable, and Duan Qing was taken to the weapon refining workshop that day.
The weapon refining workshop in Tiandi City is slightly larger than that in Xianling City, and there are more people. There are about a hundred people in the entire weapon refining workshop.
After Duan Qing was taken to the weapon refining workshop, he was asked to take the weapon refining test as soon as possible. If he failed, he would be returned to the Tiandi City registration office for re-arrangement.
This situation was completely within Duan Qing's expectations. Before coming to Tiandi City, he had already thought that this situation would happen.
Obviously guessing that the weapon refining level would be tested by the Tiandi City weapon refining workshop, he dared to say that he was good at refining. Duan Qing naturally came prepared.
The method of divine refining can be said to be derived from the blood refining of the Sui clan. Therefore, Duan Qing is not unfamiliar with the blood refining of the Sui clan. When learning divine refining, in order to learn by analogy, he also specifically asked Ou Yezi for advice and even tried to refine blood refining spiritual treasures.
The key to blood refining lies in the word blood, and this blood is naturally the blood of the Sui clan.
Although the blood of the Sui clan is too strong in vitality and activity, it is not suitable for the pursuit of stable blood pattern engraving, but it has incredible effects in other aspects.
The Sui clan is not like the cultivators of the Immortal Spirit Alliance who know various spells, so the smelting materials are not smelted with the fire technique, but the blood of the Sui clan.
Before refining, the Sui clan will first take enough blood, mix the blood with the refining materials, and then vibrate with secret techniques to heat the two to the extreme. After removing impurities, they will fuse and shape them. The whole process is called blood refining.
