"It's said that flying over Ancheng City is absolutely prohibited, if you dare to fly over Ancheng City, you'll be in trouble." Meng Jun said, at the same time, they all landed on the ground.

  Ji Ning gazed out at the distant An He City, a city that had existed since the Primordial Era and was incredibly ancient. At this moment, it was only tens of miles away from him. Ji Ning could sense an enormous amount of heavenly and earthly elemental energy gathering within the city, while also feeling a terrifying pressure emanating from it.

  "The entire Ancheng City is a super-large formation, I reckon it should be at the Immortal level." Ji Ning thought to himself.

  Ji Ning and the three Mengs walked towards the east gate of An Yang City. The city gate was a thousand feet wide and a hundred feet high, giving an idea of how majestic the walls of An Yang City were.

  "Your caravan has 320 people, and you have to pay 300 catties of Lei Jin!" In front of Ji Ning, a majestic merchant group, almost all composed of innate spiritual beings, handed over three large blocks of Lei Jin, and then took 300 black-covered books before entering the city.

  "Pay two liang of thunder gold to enter the city." A soldier wearing a Taoist armor directly ordered Ji Ning, because Ji Ning was carrying White Water Marsh, which naturally counted as two portions.

  Ji Ning flipped his hand and took out two pieces of metal the size of fingernails, shimmering with a green light like gold. This was Leijin, with a density far surpassing that of gold. It was with a small piece of Leijin that Ji Ning had purchased the Northern Dark Sword... For ordinary innate spirits, even two catties of Leijin were nothing to speak of. Not to mention Ji Ning.

  "Uh-huh." Receiving the money, the soldier directly handed over two black-covered books.

  ……

  Soon, the three Mengs and Ji Ning entered the city of Anping. The four of them were all flipping through a black-covered book with the words "Anping City" on the cover. Upon opening it, they found that it was an introduction to the entire city of Anping.

  "The city of Anping is 9,321 li long and 8,910 li wide. It is divided into the East City, South City, North City, West City, and the Mansion of the Marquis of Anping."

  Ji Ning looked carefully.

  The Anping Hou Mansion is located in the center of the entire Anping City, with a length and width of 800 miles. Absolutely forbidden land! Trespassing is punishable by death!

  Dongcheng, Nancheng, Beicheng. Prohibition of slaughter is the safest place to live... If anyone dares to take action, it will be a provocation to An Tinghou Mansion! Therefore, in these three areas of Dongcheng, Nancheng and Beicheng, many scattered cultivators and immortals gathered, and even some old guys hid here, living a peaceful life.

  Similarly, this is also a place where some wealthy merchants like to live. Those wealthy businessmen who made huge fortunes through business means live safely in Anping City, and even hiring large numbers of cultivators is a common occurrence.

  "West City?" Ji Ning's eyes lit up.

  West City, the most prosperous place in Anping City!

  In the Western City, there are many large mansions, which are the residences of some powerful and influential people or those with great abilities. Of course, some top-notch clans, sects, and religions also have branches set up here. Many who come to Anping City to find a master will try their luck at these branches, and Western City also has commercial and entertainment areas.

  There is just one thing!

  In the most prosperous and bustling Western City, only the streets prohibit killing. As for those mansions, those sects and factions' various branches... bloody killings are nothing. Of course, on the premise that the owners of these mansions and branches allow you to do so.

  "Bei Shan Hei Hu." Ji Ning saw that the name of a manor in Western City marked on the book had the name "Bei Shan Hei Hu".

  "The Beishan Black Tiger Mansion is enormous, covering an area of over ten miles. In the heart of Anjin City, where every inch of land is worth its weight in gold... The Beishan Black Tiger Mansion is truly massive, a testament to the astonishing power and influence it wields." Ji Ning thought to himself, as he noted that the Anjin Marquis' family, the Beishans, had many members with high social standing who had established their own estates outside the city, but the scale of the Beishan Black Tiger Mansion was in a league of its own.

  As can be seen from this position!

  "Ah!" Meng Jun slapped his forehead, "It turns out that although flying is prohibited above An Cheng City, as long as you become a Yuan Shen Dao person, you can fly! I thought it was forbidden for everyone to fly." What Meng Jun said earlier was convincing, but when he saw the rules written in this book, he naturally added a correction.

  "Brother Ji Ning, this An Cheng City's west city is extremely prosperous, especially the 'Yi Bao Fang' in the west city." Meng Jun urged, "Let's go take a look."

  "I heard that there are tens of thousands of cultivators setting up stalls in Yibao Alley." Meng Xuan was also looking forward to it.

  Meng Yan also nodded.

  "Go take a look." Ji Ning was also looking forward to it.

  Yi Bao Fang is a place where cultivators exchange treasures.

  ******

  Ji Ning and the others entered from the East City Gate, and they had to traverse the entire Anping City to reach the West City. It was a journey of several thousand miles, fortunately, all three of them were cultivators... Although they didn't dare to be too ostentatious, their speed wasn't slow either, and in half an hour, they arrived at Yibao Alley in the West City.

  Yi Bao Fang

  At a glance, it was a huge square with dense stalls, and the cultivators were all setting up their stalls. Next to each stall was a white stone, on which black characters were written, indicating the treasures that the owner of the stall needed to exchange.

  "Really many." Ji Ning held her breath, "At a glance, there are probably over 10,000 cultivators. This Anping City truly lives up to its reputation as the gathering place of immortals and demons, the heart of Anping Prefecture, and yet one Easy Treasure Lane has gathered so many people."

  Yi Bao Fang has all sorts of treasures, even some strange and unusual ones.

  The advantage of trading here is... relatively cheaper!

  The downside is... it's not safe enough!

  Because it's in the Western City, only the streets of the Western City prohibit killing, but inside the Easy Treasure Lane, killing is not prohibited! It's entirely possible for someone to be killed and robbed... Of course, this is relatively rare, because generally, those who dare to take out sufficiently precious treasures are usually powerful enough to intimidate people.

  "Although Yibao Fang doesn't prohibit killing, one's true strength can't be judged by appearance alone. Even if someone takes out some rare and precious treasures, who knows what their actual abilities are? Maybe they're just a Yuan Shen Dao person playing around," Meng Xuan said.

  Ji Ning nodded.

  "Xiao Jun!" Suddenly a voice rang out.

  Meng Jun turned his head and looked over, and as soon as he saw him, he was overjoyed: "Third Uncle!" A bald middle-aged man was walking towards them from a distance, with a smile all over his face.

  Meng Xin and Meng Yan turned their heads, instantly recognizing the person, and exclaimed in unison: "Fourth Uncle!"

  "Haha, all three of you have left the tribe." The bald-headed man laughed and said, "It's great that you're out. You've suffered enough in the tribe, holding back your breath and swallowing your voice. Are the three of you just arriving at Anping City?"

  Meng Junlian said: "We just arrived at Anping City, this time we are preparing to pay homage to our master, but we are curious, so let's take a look at Yibao Fang first."

  "Yi Bao Fang isn't anything special, just a lot of treasures everywhere, maybe some rare ones too." The bald old man shook his head, "But looking at them for a long time is boring. You three are first-timers in An Yang City, and after joining the sect, you'll probably be busy and won't have time to wander around. I've been in An Yang City for over a hundred years, I'm very familiar with it, let me take you to see some really good places."

  Meng Jun, Meng Xin and Meng Yan were all overjoyed.

  "Who is this next to you?" The bald-headed man noticed Ji Ning beside him and Bai Shuizhe following closely behind Ji Ning.

  Meng Jun looked at Ji Ning but didn't say a word.

  At first, he was still flattering Ji Ning, but after such a long time without any benefits, he had already begun to look down on Ji Ning, especially when he saw his own third uncle... He naturally threw Ji Ning somewhere unknown. Anyway, in the future, he would have to join the gate faction, why bother with this Ji Ning.

  "This is Brother Ji Ning." Meng Xun said in a crisp voice, "He has saved the lives of us three people."

  "Oh?" The bald-headed old man immediately said, "Thank you, Brother Ji Ning! If not for your help this time, I would have also invited you to come with us. I can treat you well and thank you for your kindness."

  "It's all right," Ji Ning shook his head.

  Meng Xin and Meng Yan both looked at Ji Ning, wanting to persuade him.

  "Let's say goodbye here." Ji Ning smiled and said, "This reunion can be considered a fate, and if we have the chance, we will meet again in the future."

  "Mm." Meng Yan nodded.

  Meng Jun's mouth curled up slightly as he smiled at Ji Ning without saying much, but his smile was obviously perfunctory.

  "What a superficial person." Ji Ning thought to herself, seeing Meng Jun's behavior.

  ……

  Seeing Meng's three people follow their third uncle away, especially Meng Jun surrounding his third uncle chattering and laughing, making the bald old man smile all over his face. This made Ji Ning shake her head repeatedly.

  When the golden crow is about to set in the western mountain.

  Ji Ning, who had wandered for a long time, finally arrived at the Black Tiger Mansion in Beishan.

  "What a majestic mansion." Ji Ning looked at the distant mansion, that towering mansion occupied an area of about ten miles in circumference, with rows and rows of soldiers standing guard at the entrance, exuding an aura of majesty. Especially the giant black tiger stone statue beside the main gate of the mansion, its head seemed to be scanning the pedestrians on the street, looking extremely domineering.

  Pedestrians on surrounding streets unconsciously kept a distance from this mansion and didn't dare get close.

  Ji Ning immediately walked over.

  "Who comes?" a soldier at the entrance of the Black Tiger Mansion on North Mountain shouted directly.

  Ji Ning understood that once they approached within ten zhang of the mansion, it would be considered within the mansion's range. The Northern Mountain Black Tiger Mansion could directly kill anyone who came close.

  Ji Ning directly flipped his hand, and the "North Mountain Black Tiger" token that Bei Shan Bai Wei had given him appeared in his hand. As soon as he saw the token, the soldier's face suddenly lit up with a smile, and he became more respectful: "I don't know who you want to see, I'll go inform them."

  "In the lower courtyard, this is Ji Ning seeing Northern Mountain's Bai Wei Gongzi." Ji Ning smiled and said, "Troublesome to inform you."

  "Good, please wait a moment." The soldier rushed into the mansion, and the eyes of the other soldiers guarding the gate turned gentle towards Ji Ning, but when they looked at the pedestrians on the street, they were still cold.

  "Hahaha..." A sudden burst of hearty laughter echoed out.

  Only then did a young man dressed in black, wearing a high crown, walk out with big strides. Seeing Ji Ning, he was overjoyed: "Brother Ji Ning, I've been waiting for you for so long! You said you'd come quickly, but half a year has passed and you've made me worry. Haha, now that you're in Anping City, you're in my home. Don't worry about anything, leave everything to me." As he spoke, he walked forward and directly grabbed Ji Ning's arm, showing great warmth. "Let's go, get on the carriage."

  Suddenly, a horse-drawn carriage appeared beside him, galloping in flames, and stopped in front of the mansion gate. A woman sat on the carriage, got off and bowed respectfully to Beimian Wei: "Young Master."
