Standing in front of the wall, it seems that there is an insurmountable moat in front of you, and when you look up, it seems as if it is towering into the clouds.
The height of this wall is at least 200 zhang, and it is made of huge black bricks.
If you look closely, you can still see the traces of swords from time to time on these bricks and stones, although they are not deep, but it can be imagined that such a place has definitely experienced a lot of war.
And above this city wall, even in his perception, even in the depths of the city wall, there are traces of formations.
At this time, the city did not seem to be defended, except for some monks patrolling the city walls.
But Ling Yuan knew that if someone really wanted to break into the city directly, or forcibly fly over, unless it was above the Yuanying realm, or someone from the sect in charge of this city, they would immediately touch the formation, and I was afraid that the consequences would be very serious.
"Hey, Shannan City is a prosperous place in this place, since we have arrived here, we can just have a good time for a while" Looking at the three huge ancient characters above the city gate, Bai Yu suddenly said with some excitement.
This walk has already made him feel bored.
"Let's go in first" Ling Yuan took a look, and at the city gate, there was a team of monks guarding it.
Everyone who wants to enter the city, no matter who it is, must pay a certain amount of spirit stones.
Although the number is small, judging by the number of people who enter the city, the daily income is definitely a staggering amount.
After only looking at it, Ling Yuan walked over directly, although he said that he had enough strength to break in directly, but Ling Yuan didn't want to be so public.
A person's entry tax of thirty primary spirit stones, no matter what your cultivation is, is the same price, and after paying the money, you can get a brand, which is the certificate that you can enter and exit the city freely, this thing is valid for a month, and if you enter and leave the city again within a month, you don't have to pay again.
And with this thing, you have a temporary legal status in the city, and you will not be hunted down and driven away.
Of course, if it's for monks in infancy and above, there's no problem if you want to stay as long as you want.
In fact, it was a rule for the weaker monks.
In such a world, wherever the strong go, they will naturally have privileges.
A wide avenue leads to the city, and the city wall alone is more than a mile thick, and it takes a little time just to enter this city gate.
Not to mention that others want to break through this city from the outside, with such a defense, the entire city is not impregnable, but not everyone can break it.
And in this Shannan City, it has become a relatively safe place.
It is precisely because of this that the entire Shannan City is very prosperous, especially those minor monks, who are all making a living in this city, compared to the dangerous world outside, this place can more or less settle down, at least to some extent.
"Have you ever been to this Shannan City?"
Ling Yuan asked casually as he walked towards the city, looking at the bustling streets around him.
"That's natural, I've always liked to be lively, so naturally I've been to such a place before, and I've been here more than once."
Bai Yu looked very proud and said.
"In that case, you can take me for a walk in this Shannan City" Ling Yuan nodded slightly, but did not show a special expression, but said lightly.
With such a good guide here, it would be a waste not to use it.
Although I said that I had seen the introduction of this place in my travelogue, and it was quite detailed, it was thousands of years ago, and I am afraid that this place has long been different.
"No problem, if you want to talk about this Shannan City, it is a city with history.
The recorded history is more than 100,000 years old, and although it is insignificant compared to those ancient cities in the Eastern Regions, it is at least a small famous place in the southeast.
Shannan City, especially the commerce, is very prosperous, basically the monks are looking for something, if not too precious, basically can find it.
Hearing about this, Bai Yu immediately patted his chest and said.
Then he led the way in front, and on one side was introduced.
"It seems that it is really an unusual place" Hearing the introduction, Ling Yuan couldn't help but nodded, after all, this cultivation realm is extremely vast, and just a southeast region is already hundreds of millions of miles.
There are many ancient cities and towns in this world, and no one knows at all.
And this Shannan City can be a little famous in this southeast region, which is already very rare.
Don't look at Linhai City, it seems to be very powerful, but it is just a few hundred thousand miles around here, and compared to this Shannan City, it is not a level at all, let alone the likes of Tianshui Palace.
"That's nature, so ah, if we want to stay here for a while, we can take a walk at will, this Shannan City is tens of thousands of miles away, and there are many places to play.
Of course, the important thing is that we have to have money, otherwise, there is no way.
Bai Yu shook his head and said.
"I heard that this city is jointly controlled by five families, and there are several Yuan Infant Stage monks in each family, and I have even heard that some families have out-of-body stage masters, so although this city has also experienced attacks from external forces, it has never fallen."
Ling Yuan looked at a small group of patrolling monks who would walk by from time to time around him and said.
"Hey, Brother Long, your news is outdated, in the past, this place was indeed jointly ruled by five families, but as early as more than a thousand years ago, there were only three families left here.
Although it is said that the two families have completely declined, the strength of the entire Shannan City has not decreased, but has become stronger.
Especially the Zuo family, which is the most powerful of the three families, the family that is said to have out-of-body period monks, is them.

The other two families are basically headed by it, so over the years, the Zuo family has gradually been called Shannan Zuofu, which shows that everyone has basically regarded them as representatives of Shannan City.
When Bai Yu heard this, he immediately turned around, smiled, and said.
"That's it" Ling Yuan nodded slightly, but he really hadn't thought of it.
Obviously, the situation in Shannan City has long changed, two of the five families have completely disappeared, and two of the other three families are subservient to the Zuo family, that is to say, this Shannan City is actually under the control of this Shannan Zuo Mansion.
If nothing happened to me, I'm afraid no one would believe it.
Guarding such a prosperous industry, I am afraid that many people will not be willing to share with others, naturally, the honest ones will stay, and the dishonest ones will be eradicated.
Such examples are probably not uncommon in the world.
But this kind of thing is estimated to have some impact on the monks of Shannan City itself, as for the other people, it is just a passerby, and even many people still wish that Shannan City will decline, so that they can take advantage of it.
Therefore, in fact, there are no big waves, and the scene of prosperity in front of me is the best illustration.
In the whole city, there are wide avenues that extend in all directions, and in addition to those main roads, there are alleys and alleys that lead to every corner of the city.
The streets are lined with antique buildings, including the three religions and the nine streams of industry, and even in some corners, there are gambling houses and green buildings for the pleasure of monks.
Looking at Bai Yu's appearance, he seems to be a little interested, and as for other restaurants and shops, there are countless of them.
It was the first time since Ling Yuan had seen so many monks in this cultivation realm, but in this city, these monks lived like ordinary people, but they had spent most of their time cultivating.
"Brother Long, the avenue in front of us now is one of the most important avenues, it runs through the entire Shannan City in the east-west direction.
You see, to the left, you can go to the grass market, where you specialize in buying and selling all kinds of strange things, and to the right, there is the main street, where all kinds of shops are located, basically the shops or guilds that can be called in the monastic world, all have branches there, you see which direction we are going" After walking forward for a while, a wide intersection appeared in front of the two of them, this avenue was very flat and wide, and could even accommodate twenty carriages at the same time.
There is a big road on the left and right, Bai Yu looked left and right, and then said to him.
"Let's go to the grass market first" After thinking about it for a while, Ling Yuan directly chose the left, after all, he was still more interested in those strange things.
Bai Yu nodded, then turned around and walked in that direction.
At the beginning, they were still very open, but when they passed an archway, there was a noise in front of them, and all kinds of shouts instantly filled the ears of the two, as if they had come to the market in the world.
In this place is a very large circular school ground, and many monks set up stalls here.
Many of them are not particularly high-level, because they can't afford the high rent, so they choose to come here to set up a stall, as long as they pay a certain tax to get the qualification to set up a stall, compared to the shop rent, it is much less burden
