Chapter 82 Chapter 82: Meng Chen: It’s over, I’ve become a bumpkin!

Qingdi City is larger than an ordinary country and extremely majestic. If you don’t have the ability to fly, it will take at least several months to walk across the city like an ordinary person.

The city is very prosperous, with numerous palaces and wide ancient streets. It has everything, including the Gambling Stone Shop, the Jade Fairy Tower, the Fengyue Palace, the Lingyu Pavilion, and the Wanbao Pavilion. It is extremely luxurious, and mortals and monks mix together.

There are people coming and going on the avenue, and half of them are cultivators. In such a place, no one dares to act rashly. The person drinking tea on the street may be the supreme elder of a sect, or a middle-aged man you happen to bump into, or he may be the leader of a sect.

Next to the bustling streets, from time to time, a palace with a very large area will appear, with carved beams and painted buildings, like a royal palace.

This was also Meng Chen's first time in Qingdi City. He felt that his eyes were not enough. The ancient city was huge, the layout was exquisite, and it was mysterious and ancient. It made him feel like Granny Liu entering the Grand View Garden.

Although his cultivation had reached the late Nascent Soul stage, making him one of the few strong men in the Cang Xuan Domain, he had been practicing Taoism for less than fourteen years and had spent most of his time in seclusion practicing. How could he have seen such a magnificent city?

As for Qianyuan Sect? That is a new sect, established only a hundred years ago. How can it be compared with Qingdi City, which has a history of more than 30,000 years?

At this moment, Meng Chen turned into a curious baby, pulled a passerby, pointed at a fairy palace not far away that was emitting blue spiritual light, and asked:
"Daoyou, what is that place?"

The passerby who was being pulled over heard this, looked in the direction Meng Chen pointed, and patiently explained: "That is the inn of Shuiyun Pavilion. If you need to rest, you can go and try it. Their water beds are unique."

Meng Chen was slightly surprised when he heard this, but he didn't explore it too much. He walked forward not far and saw a magnificent palace with gorgeous gardens, towering buildings and magnificent splendor.

"Daoyou, what place is that?"

The passerby said, "It's just a small gambling shop. If you want to gamble on stones, I suggest you go to the gambling shops of the big sects. Although it's a bit more expensive, the chances of getting good things are greater."

"Thanks for the advice, fellow Taoist."

Meng Chen became interested in the gambling stone shop. He took out a bag of spirit stones and threw it to the passerby who helped him solve his puzzles as a thank you.

The passerby looked at the bag of spirit stones in his hand and was surprised. He was rewarded so much just for saying a few common sense words.

What a nice guy!
Meng Chen continued to stroll around Qingdi City. He saw some pavilions suspended in the air. They were not messy, but were arranged in a regular and elegant manner.

He didn't know who it was, so he had to ask the old man who was drinking tea nearby:

"Old man, I want to ask you, what is this place?"

"This is your first time in Qingdi City."

The old man at the tea stall glanced at him and said, "That's a restaurant. It's pretty good in the city. As long as you have enough spirit stones, you can go up and have a meal. There are all kinds of delicacies in the world, and there are also beautiful monks pouring wine and playing the zither for the guests."

After thanking the old man for answering his questions, Meng Chen continued to stroll around and came to a quiet place. This was a Taoist temple. It was not grand or tall, but it covered a very large area.

There are many ancient trees planted around, lush and green. The Taoist temple is hidden in the world of mortals and is much quieter than other places. There is a feeling of returning to nature.

It seemed as if there was a special spiritual charm flowing. Although there were many people coming in and out, the place was peaceful and quiet.

"Fellow Taoist, I would like to ask, where is that place and why is there a Taoist temple?" Meng Chen asked a middle-aged fat man.

"You're new here, right? I can tell from the looks of it that you just arrived in Qingdi City..." It was this sentence again. He would hear this sentence every time he asked someone.

The middle-aged fat man with a somewhat thriving appearance chuckled and said, "This is the Guizhen Dao Sect's gambling stone shop, which is quite famous and a very good place. Recently, their Taoist women often appear and stay here. If young people want to see their beauties, they should not miss the opportunity."

Guizhen Dao Sect is a first-rate force in Cangxuan Territory. There are more than two hands of Nascent Soul cultivators in the sect, and there is also an old ancestor in the early stage of the Spiritualization Stage, but he has not shown his face in the past hundred years, and it is suspected that he has passed away. Meng Chen saw that the middle-aged fat man had a strange smile, and couldn't help but say, "Daoyou, your smile is so vulgar."

"Hehe... Daoist friend, you just arrived, so you don't know. Qingdi City is very lively these days. I don't know where this freak jumped out from, saying that he wants to gamble with stones in Guizhen Dao Sect and threatens to win their Taoist daughter away. If he really wins, Guizhen Dao Sect will lose face."

"Is the Taoist girl from Guizhen Taoist Sect beautiful?" Meng Chen asked.

The middle-aged fat man shook his head: "I don't know. Apart from those guys from the Guizhen Dao Sect, few people in the outside world have seen the face of a Guizhen Dao girl. But her figure is amazing. None of my thirty-seven concubines can compare to her."

"What are the origins of those freaks who made the bet? Guizhen Dao Sect is a first-rate sect in Cangxuan Domain. How dare they mess with us?" Meng Chen asked curiously.

"Who knows?" The middle-aged fat man muttered, "Let's go in and take a look?"

Meng Chen declined politely. He wanted to explore Qingdi City more and it would not be too late to go there later.

The middle-aged fat man did not force it. He smiled and twisted his big butt in a somewhat obscene manner, and walked into the gambling stone shop of Guizhen Taoist Sect alone.

Meng Chen continued to wander around Qingdi City. Whenever he came across unfamiliar palaces or buildings, he would ask passersby. They would give him the answer, but they would always add a sentence before the answer.

"This is your first time in Qingdi City, right?"

Meng Chen walked to a lake. The water was crystal blue, like a huge sapphire embedded in the ground.

The flow of people is surging, many people are walking on the river bank, the willows are swaying, and the warm breeze is blowing.

There were many dragon boats and phoenix pavilions parked in the lake, and the melodious sounds of stringed instruments could be heard. Meng Chen discovered that most of the people on the shore were young people.

When he looked up, he found that in the depths of the lake, the sky was shrouded in clouds and mist, and there were many large ships floating, as well as some palaces and pavilions.

"What place is this?" Meng Chen was puzzled.

This time, he was not told that it was his first time here, but was despised.

"Fellow Daoist, since you are here, why bother pretending to be innocent?"

People were coming and going, and there were willow trees growing by the lake. The man glanced at him and said, "Qingdi City's famous Fengyue Pavilion, Xianfeifang, don't you know about it?"

"What is the Fairy Concubine Square? This is my first time in Qingdi City." Meng Chen said.

"Of course it is one of the eight romantic places in Qingdi City. But you came here for your first visit to Qingdi City, fellow Daoist, you have great taste. It seems that you are also a fellow Daoist."

The man gave Meng Chen a smile that every man could understand, and continued:

"Fellow Daoist, you've arrived a little early. This place is bustling only at night, with bright lights and a sparkling Spirit Lake. You can choose from a variety of goddesses and fairies, and enjoy a variety of flavors. But the prerequisite is that you have spirit stones. As long as you have enough spirit stones, even a female Nascent Soul cultivator will be willing to make a furnace for you and let you take essence from it."

Meng Chen was quite surprised after hearing this. It seemed that he had not seen enough. He should not be limited to the world of Qianyuan Sect. He should go out more often.
