The fastest updated web in Nancheng also has a number of similar guesthouses that provide temporary accommodation for monks who come to stay. Li Hui and Han Xue entered one of these guesthouses after leaving the market.

  The two of them naturally asked for a room and walked in, because with the existence of the immortal mansion, this room was only serving as a cover-up for the two.

  But in the eyes of the innkeeper, who was also a Qi Refining stage cultivator, it was different. In his heart, he couldn't help but secretly sigh that this male cultivator had actually found such an ethereal and beautiful dual cultivation partner...

  The innkeeper's idea, neither of them knew, after entering the room, starting the ban in the house and locking the room, they both entered the immortal mansion together.

  In the Yuanchang Immortal Mansion, in the Linshui Pavilion, two people sat facing each other on a stone bench, each holding a jade slip with the map of Xiacheng's Cultivation Realm, their spiritual consciousness entering it.

  After a long time, the two of them almost simultaneously withdrew their spiritual consciousness from the jade slip and looked at each other, both seeing a hint of shock in each other's eyes.

  This map is very detailed, after reading it, Li Hui felt that a jade slip for one hundred low-grade spirit stones was not a bad deal at all.

  The territory of Xia Zhou is a circle with a radius of 100,000 li. Except for a small part in the south and southeast, most of its area is within this vast swamp.

  And this great swamp is not even called Smoke Rain Marsh, the correct name in the Cultivation Realm is Desolate Beast Marsh!

  The name "Fierce Beast Marsh" is more fitting for this treacherous and eerie marsh where ferocious beasts roam. The poetic name "Smoke Rain Marsh" could only be thought of by ordinary people outside the marsh.

  The entire Xiazhou Xiuzhen realm revolves around the establishment of Ziwai City in the southern part of Dazhe, with Ziwai City as the center. Surrounding it are small towns similar to Nanzhao City, distributed at intervals of several thousand miles.

  To the northwest and northeast of Violet City, there are two cities that, although not comparable to Violet City, are also quite large in scale. Northwest is Wing Wolf City, and Northeast is Tianhu City.

  All these cities of various sizes belong to Ziwai City, and the entire Wild Beast Marsh is governed by the Ziwai Palace in Ziwai City.

  The strength of the Ziwei Palace is impossible to describe, but it seems that throughout the history of the Xia State's cultivation world, it has always been dominated by this very palace. For so many years, no one has been able to shake its foundations. Legend has it that each generation of the Ziwei Palace has had a master who has transcended the tribulation period sitting in power, but this legend cannot be verified.

  However, Ziw Palace is the overlord of Xiazhou, and no one doubts this.

  At first, this desolate beast marsh was the domain of demonic beasts. Later, human cultivators gradually established a foothold here, and Ziwu City was the first city built by human cultivators.

  Later, it gradually developed around the surrounding areas with Ziwai City as the center and established some peripheral cities. These cities are all connected to Ziwai City by teleportation arrays. To go to other cities, you must first return to Ziwai City, which is also beneficial for Ziwai City's control over these subordinate cities.

  These cities are the footholds and supply stations for the cultivators of Ziwu City to hunt for demonic beasts, collect spiritual herbs, and mine in the Great Marsh.

  Each city is garrisoned by a cultivator dispatched from the Ziwu Palace, usually a Golden Dan cultivator, except for Wing Wolf City and Tianhu City which are garrisoned by Yuan Ying cultivators. These garrisoned cultivators rotate every ten years.

  Li Hui and Han Xue are currently in Nanmang City, which is presided over by a Jindan cultivator named Xia Shaoyuan, who is the same Xia surname Jindan cultivator that Li Hui rescued.

  In addition, this map also marks in detail which cities have what products and what kind of monsters are around.

  Li Hui was shocked to see that the Nanmeng City was surrounded by a type of mineral called Shixing Iron, as well as several types of medicinal herbs. There were also several places around the city where several Golden Elixir stage demonic beasts roamed.

  Li Hui had previously walked on that road, apart from encountering the Red-eyed Demon Tiger, if he continued forward, he would also encounter a kind of Golden Dan Yao beast called Iron Arm Ape. If it weren't for avoiding the Red-eyed Demon Tiger and accidentally changing direction, it's likely that he wouldn't have been able to walk out of this swamp.

  Li Hui put away the jade slip and said to Han Xue, "Xue Er, let's stay in Nan Zhuang City for a day, rest for a while, and go to Zi Wei City early tomorrow."

  Han Xue nodded and immediately a white light flashed, the two left Linshui Pavilion and went to their respective rooms in the immortal mansion to meditate and rest.

  ……

  Secondly, the two left the inn and headed towards the transmission array in Nanmeng City marked on the map.

  The teleportation array was built inside a tall building in the center of the city, looking like a two-zhang-square circular stone platform with various mysterious symbols engraved on it.

  The one guarding the transmission array was a foundation-building cultivator who looked over fifty years old and had no expression on his face.

  "We're going to teleport to Ziwai City!" Li Hui said to the Jibeng cultivator.

  "Four hundred pieces of low-grade spirit stone!" The foundation-building cultivator said mechanically, his voice devoid of any emotion, as if even the muscles on his mouth were too lazy to move.

  Li Hui curled his lips and glanced at the Foundation Establishment cultivator, confirming that he was indeed a living person. He muttered to himself that the transmission fee was really not low.

  One slap storage bag handed over four hundred pieces of lower-grade spirit stone, the foundation-building cultivator took it calmly, and immediately Li Hui and Han Xue stood in the center of this transmission array.

  That Zhujishi raised his hand and cast a spell, the transmission array emitted a "hum" sound, and then a white light burst out of the array, enveloping the two.

  Li Hui felt a surge of immense power coming over him, his entire body feeling as if it was about to be torn apart, and then in an instant he vanished into the transmission array.

  ……

  In a large city, Zhongyang, five thousand miles north of Nanmocheng, a giant transmission array with a diameter of ten zhang suddenly emitted a white light, and then two figures appeared in the array.

  Li Hui and Han Xue both stumbled slightly before regaining their balance, feeling a slight dizziness.

  "This teleportation feeling is really unbearable!" Li Hui shook his head, looking at Han Xue beside him, who also had a slightly furrowed brow, clearly not enjoying the teleportation feeling either.

  The two of them immediately stepped down from the transmission array together.

  A Templar guarding the transmission array stepped forward and looked at the two people who had just walked down from the transmission array: "Please show your identity tokens, both of you!"

  "What's an identity token?" Li Hui was perplexed: "The two of us are newcomers to this city, what is this thing called an identity token?"

  That foundation-building cultivator looked at the two of them with some surprise, but immediately his face returned to normal and he said calmly: "This is Purple Violet City. Except for Golden Elixir stage seniors who can settle here for free, ordinary cultivators must pay 1,000 pieces of low-grade spirit stones to this city every year in order to stay within the city. After paying these 1,000 spirit stones, you can obtain an identity token. As long as you drip blood to acknowledge ownership, you will be considered a member of this city."

  Li Hui's eyebrows slightly furrowed, why does this Xia Zhou Xiuzhen world need to spend spirit stones wherever you go? But still asked: "What if I just temporarily stay in this city?"

  "For a temporary stay in this city, you don't need to pay spirit stones, just spend 10 spirit stones to get a temporary identity token, but you can only stay for half a month. Also, I'd like to remind you two that the price of inns in this city is not cheap, and without a formal identity token, the price will be doubled. It's up to you two to decide whether to stay temporarily or long-term."

  "We will settle in this city!" Li Hui replied quickly.

  Chu State's Xiuzhen realm, he doesn't plan to return for the time being. He wants to settle accounts with Lie Tian Zong, at least until he has reached the Jindan stage of cultivation. Settling in Ziwei City is a necessary choice. As for spirit stones, he isn't lacking them.

  That foundation-building cultivator nodded and then moved his lips slightly, apparently transmitting a voice. A Qi-refining cultivator then jogged over.

  "Both seniors, please follow me!" The Qi-refining stage cultivator respectfully invited.

  Li Hui and Han Xue exchanged a glance, following behind that Lianqi period cultivator.

  The Qi-refining stage cultivator led the two of them into a tall building not far from the transmission array, inside which was a row of over a dozen windows, with one Foundation Establishment stage cultivator sitting behind each window.

  The Qi-refining stage disciple brought the two to one of the windows and called out, "These two seniors want to settle in this city, please trouble Director Duan to handle the relevant procedures."

  That steward looked at Li Hui and Han Xue for a moment, then said calmly: "One thousand low-grade spirit stones per person!"

  Li Hui didn't say anything and took out two thousand low-grade spirit stones from his storage bag to hand over. The Director Duan handed over two command tokens and two jade slips in return.

  "This identity token only needs to be authenticated with a drop of blood, and the two jade slips are attached with a detailed map of this city." Duan Zhi said concisely.

  Li Hui put these things away and turned around with Han Xue, ready to leave.

  "Two seniors, there are also manors for sale in this city, would you like to come and take a look? The inns in this city are quite expensive!" The Qi-refining cultivator enthusiastically invited.

  "Mansion?" Li Hui's heart skipped a beat. If they were going to settle down for the long term, this mansion was indeed necessary. "Xue Er, let's go take a look then."

  Han Xue nodded slightly in agreement. When there were outsiders around, Han Xue always appeared cold and frosty, only revealing her true feelings when she was alone with Li Hui.

  "Would you like to take a look at a mansion? We have all sorts of mansions here. Are you looking for something in the city center, close to the market? Or do you prefer a place with a strong spiritual energy that can aid in cultivation? Or perhaps a beautiful lakeside villa?" Behind the window was a chubby foundation repair monk who smiled warmly and greeted the two as they approached.

  "Let me take a look at all the information about these mansions!" Li Hui said calmly.

  "Alright!" Fatou Zhiji took out a dozen or so jade slips in front of the window.
