This was a place of destruction, but also a place of cultivation. There were countless treasures, divine weapons, and weapons here.
Of course, you have to be alive. If someone died, then everything would be gone.
A rich man with ten thousand taels of gold was not a rare sight here, and there were also many companies that had private military power here.
This was an ordinary day, but an extraordinary person had appeared. His travel worn clothing could not conceal his inner temperament, and his gaze was sharp and firm.
That's right, Li Shaoqing had arrived. He began his first step of cultivation — — Demonic Beast Mountain Range. This trial of life and death quickly descended upon him.
He first came to a very famous small town around the Demon Beast Mountain Range — Cloudy Sea Town. This was his first step.
Furthermore, there were three great clans here. The ancestors were legendary experts of the Ninth Heaven. Naturally, they were too far away from Li Shaoqing.
The three families were Lu, Dao, and Xue.
Each of the three families had their own power, regardless of whether they were strong or weak. Moreover, not only did they have a place in this rich Cloud Sea Town, they also stretched far away from it.
In the recent Lu Family, Lu Yun, the talent that only appeared once every hundred years was born ten years ago. In five years, Lu Yun's strength had reached the ninth level of the Spirit Realm, which made people envious.
However, in the next five years, Lu Yun's strength hadn't increased at all, and he still had this kind of strength. This caused him to suffer a great loss in his name as a genius.

In the Lu family, a severe youth was cultivating. He was sweating profusely and was unwilling to relax even a little.
”Brother Yun, this year's Family Competition is about to begin. With your strength, is that possible? ” A cute little boy ran over.
Lu Long was eight years old, and had a ninth heaven spiritual sense. His cultivation was the same as Lu Yun.
”Hmph, Xiaolong, those trash don't know how to accumulate energy. To think that they would directly upgrade from the ninth heaven to the spirit realm. They actually gave up on such a great opportunity.” Lu Yun said with a sneer, but his cultivation didn't stop.
”Brother Yun, are you cultivating the Great Perfection of the Spiritual Energy of the Void? But even the ancestor failed!” Lu Long said.
Geniuses are not ranked among the best in terms of cultivation speed, but in terms of fighting strength of the same level. As long as I reach the Spiritual Energy Perfection, with my cultivation base and my family's secret techniques, I will definitely be able to enter the top three of the Family Competition. Next year, I will first go to the North City's Large Competition and after the Large Competition ends, my cultivation will also break into the Spiritual Energy Realm. Lu Yun arrogantly said as he looked up.
”Wow, Brother Yun's dream is so ambitious. Xiao Long will definitely follow you in the future.” Lu Long said.
Tch, this kind of person doesn't know that his heart is thicker than the sky and he wasted five years of time to comment on the profound mysteries of the Spiritual Energy among those people who are weaker than you. Yet, you are still dreaming about the perfection of your Spiritual Awareness. Looking at Lu Yun's cultivation environment, he clicked his tongue and said, ”Hey, someone like you can actually enjoy such a good treatment from the family. If I were an elder of the family, I would definitely give you a good treatment.”
Lu Long was furious: ”Lu Feng, what is the meaning of this!”
”Xiaolong, don't get mad at a lunatic.”

As for these things, Li Shaoqing didn't know about them because he was strolling around Cloudsea Town.
Li Shaoqing did not have much money either, only a hundred taels of gold. After killing the bandit leader, he took some, but not much else.
As Li Shaoqing walked above the prosperous town and looked at the bustling sounds of people peddling, he did not feel the stifling feeling in the city. Although there were a lot of ”friends” in the city, they were always living under a lot of pressure.
Perhaps he didn't feel anything here. Although it wasn't as good as the construction of a city, that kind of simple and honest atmosphere, although not as relaxing as the countryside, was still very intoxicating.
Li Shaoqing didn't go to the places where breakfast was sold, nor to the places where the three great families were stationed. Generally speaking, only people with high status could go there.
Li Shaoqing, on the other hand, didn't have this sort of 'realization'.
By the way, Cloud Sea Town was divided into twelve districts. Three of the main districts, the three great clans, were stationed here, as well as some of their subordinate forces …
The other nine areas included the mercenary area, the weapon sales area, the pill purchasing area, the gambling area, the business area, the death zone, and so on.
Although many of the regions were still deeply affected by the influence of the three great clans, such as the weapons sales area, the mercenary area, and the medicine gathering and buying area, the bosses of the three great clans all came from all over the city. Although the three great clans were also very adept at making decisions, it was impossible for them to offend so many people in one fell swoop.
Li Shaoqing was truly embarrassed. With a hundred taels of gold to eat and live a frugal life, he could live for twenty to thirty years by himself.
However, for martial arts training, everything had to be spent money. For example, weapons, a Common Grade would cost 10 taels of gold. As for Common Grade, that was something only a rich person could afford, at the very least, it would cost 100 taels of gold.
However, after Li Shaoqing had weighed his wallet, it was more than enough.
As they walked towards the weapon area, the human traffic was so thick that it exploded. Cloud Sea Town was extremely close to the Demonic Beast Mountain Range, and most of the economic development of Cloud Sea Town was based on hunting Demonic Beasts and a series of businesses that followed.
The reason why the weapon sales area and the mercenary area were so large and could compete with the three great families was because the profit was the greatest. Why the weapon sales area and the mercenary area were so large and could compete with the three great families because the profit was the greatest.
As for the Mercenary District, a dozen or so big powers controlled it together. There were a lot of experienced young masters, or perhaps some people wanted to hunt powerful demon beasts, so it was impossible to do this alone. Moreover, there were a lot of lone rangers who would connect them together and collect the things they hunted, lowering the price with their own merit points.
As for the area for purchasing medicinal pills, there was no need to talk about it anymore. There was only one life left. With enough money, one would definitely buy more medicinal pills for a monopoly.
Traveling among the bustling crowd of weapon shops, the weapon area was not something that could be easily covered. For example, the highest grade weapon shop's first floor, the Treasure House, was actually selling Spirit Weapons. Although there weren't many of them, they were Spirit Weapons.
Of course, the cheapest price was 10,000 gold.
Li Shaoqing shook his head as he searched for other places. Finally, he walked into the Treasure House.
After entering the Treasure House, it was indeed the style of a big family. Everyone who came had a guide attendant.
Upon seeing Li Shaoqing walk in, one of the servant who was fine immediately came over, ”Dear guest, what weapon do you want? Do you want me to tell you about the characteristics of the weapon, and to let you know whether or not the price of the weapon is suitable for you? ”
The quality of the people here was also very good. They despised Li Shaoqing without even looking at his simple clothes. Maybe that genius had this kind of habit.
”Mm, alright, I'll go with you and take a look.” On the other hand, Li Shaoqing was unambiguous. If there was going to be an advantage, why not take it? He couldn't be so foolish.
After the attendant introduced them, Li Shaoqing became more familiar with many weapons.
”Customer, this centrifugal hammer is extremely powerful and is not expensive either. It's only two hundred taels of gold. Why don't you take a look?” The attendant said to Li Shaoqing.
”Fine.” Li Shaoqing had taken the weapons off the shelves with his tyrannical strength. The Treasure House sold weapons, but no one dared to steal them. This was because once they found out, they would be sentenced to death. Hence, this place was free to do business.
Who wouldn't? The main account was on the third floor of the Treasure House, and the other numbers were all on the second floor. This was the symbol of his position, and in the weapons section, the main name was on the third floor, which also signified his leadership position.
The first floor sold ordinary weapons, the second floor sold spirit weapons, and the third floor was used for the strong to rest and communicate with.
However, a weapon shop had to have a higher level than the main building, so the weapon store on the first floor didn't have a main building.
As for this Treasure House, even though his name was unknown, there was still a large stack of sub-numbers. In this weapon area, the Treasure House sub-number took up a third of the total number.
He spent a gold tael on the centrifugal hammer in the room given to him by the Treasure House. It felt too light.
”Waiter, what other important weapons do you have in this account? If only you had a staff.” Li Shaoqing had a soft spot for swords and sticks. He believed that swords represented the aura of an Emperor, and sticks used weight to win in order to strengthen the attack of people like himself, who had a lot of strength. However, swords were generally just spiritual weapons, and Li Shaoqing could not afford them.
”Nice stick. We only have one here, but I'm afraid you won't be able to use it.” The manservant said with a smile.
”It's fine. Just point me where it is.” Li Shaoqing said.
”Alright.” The attendant pointed at the large stick and said, ”However, if you want to buy this weapon, you must tell the master of this level.”
”Mm, okay, thank you.” With that, Li Shaoqing went to look for the owner of the shop.
The attendant was a little depressed. Why didn't he give her a tip? Furthermore, he didn't buy anything under her lead, nor did he get any commission.
However, he was only depressed for a short while before going back to work. He needed more money.
This expert's cultivation was also at the first stage of the Spirit Energy realm, but he was in a miserable state. He could not afford to buy Spirit Weapons, so he could only come to buy ordinary weapons. At least he could buy a weapon to protect his life.
And the owner of the shop agreed with what he said. Under his simple and honest face, seeing that his opponent was a powerhouse of Spiritual Energy, he acted as if he had been cut by a knife. He didn't even care that he was only at the eighth level of his Spiritual Awareness, so of course he had this backing.
”Owner, how much is the huge stick?” Li Shaoqing revealed the smile of a youth. It was a very innocent and harmless smile.
”F * ck off, why is a little kid bothering me?” The owner said impatiently, ”No, what do you want to see?”
Li Shaoqing said, ”Ah, that huge rod.”
”Big stick.” The owner laughed. ”Do you know how heavy this stick is? A little wet kid should go home to his mother.”
”800 jin, but I want to give it a try.” Li Shaoqing said firmly.
”Tsk.”
”To attract attention.”
”Can you afford it!?” ”Hrmph.”
”Let him try.” A voice came from outside the door. That handsome youth was Lu Yun.
The pawnbroker's meaty body came running over, ”Young Master Yun, why have you come? You see, this little one doesn't seem to be here, this one. ” However, in the depths of his eyes, the master of the shop showed a hint of disdain.
Lu Yun, on the other hand, didn't mind: ”Let him try it. If he can pick it up, then I bought it for him.”
Li Shaoqing looked at that person, then at his tattered clothes. He couldn't help but scratch his head in embarrassment, ”Isn't that a bit too much for you to spend?”
”It's fine, take it and I'll give it to you.” Leave it to your friends, I see that you are fated. ”
