Chapter Thirty-Nine: Crimson Yang, South Distant

ourteous.Perhaps harboring resentment for his previous impertinence, the hunched old man treated Huang Ajian with hostility. He let out a cold snort and refused to respond.>Please note that the conten...Chíyáng County was located in the south of Qí State. This place was rich in minerals, and its people mainly worked as iron casters, with furnaces constantly burning throughout the year.

From a high altitude view of Qi Realm, this place is a sea of red.

Therefore, it is called Chiyang.

As the saying goes: "The weapons of Qi State were at Chiyang, and the soldiers of Chiyang were in Nanyao."

Nanyang City is where the Lian family has been operating for many years.

It's not the county seat, but it's better than the county seat.

Many people who mention Chiyang County only think of Nanyao City and can't remember which city the county seat is in.

The lord of Nan Yao City never dispatches officials to other places, he must inevitably be surnamed Lian. This shows the status of the Lian clan in Nan Yao City and even the entire Chi Yang Prefecture.

The Lian clan was not originally from the State of Qi. They only migrated to Qi after the destruction of their own state.

In Chiyang County, they began mining copper, establishing their roots and building Nanyao City from nothing.

It is now famous all over the world.

Among the five universally recognized sacred lands for forging weapons, one lies in the state of Qi, which is now known as the Nan Yao Liang family.

The carriage galloped along the wide avenue. Between his practice of Taoist techniques, Jiang Wang occasionally lifted the curtain to glance at the scenery outside the window.

He thought of a strange thing, the official roads in Qi State didn't seem to have any engraved patterns. And along the way, many common people from Qi were out enjoying the spring scenery in the fields.

He could see very clearly that many people inside didn't have cultivation.

In fact, when he entered Linhai County, he discovered this situation. However, at the time, he was focused on preparing to explore the Heavenly Treasury Secret Realm, so he ignored it.

At this point, he couldn't help but ask, "Why don't the official roads of your Qi state need to be engraved with formation patterns Can people from Qi just go wherever they want freely Aren't there dangers in the wilderness"

The driver who drove Jiang Wang was a coachman from the Chongxuan family, generations serving the Chongxuan family.

In a prominent family like the Chong Xuan clan, there are many generational servants, far more reliable than ordinary hired help found on the market.

He dared not slight Chong Xuan's guest of honor, but he did feel confused: "What danger could there be in the wilderness"

Jiang Wang pondered for a moment, then asked: "Does Qi State not have ferocious beasts"

The charioteer scratched his head: “Around here, there are mostly deer and foxes, nothing dangerous really Over in the mountains, there might be tigers, leopards, and jackals.”

Jiang Wang fell silent.

He also wanted to ask where the Qi State cultivators' acupuncture-opening pills came from. But this driver was destined not to know the answer.

The person didn't even know what a ferocious beast was.

In the state of Zhuang, almost all commoners had to remember the first thing before going out: "Do not leave the official road."

Because the wilderness is full of danger, ferocious beasts roam everywhere.

Even official roads were not absolutely safe, those merchants nearly risked their lives traveling all over the place.

Monks throughout the Zhuang Kingdom had to regularly patrol the areas near their dwelling places, eradicating any lurking dangers.

In Qi, ordinary people could also go for hikes in the wilderness and travel freely.

As ordinary people, just born in different countries, life can be so vastly different.

This is the kind of life situation that Jiang Wang envies.

He casually summoned his cloud crane, picked out some interesting ones, and wrote down his recent experiences.

At the same time, she also told her younger sister that she had successfully explored the Heavenly Treasure Secret Realm and booked a spot in the Divine Ability Inner Palace, urging her to work hard. Of course, she omitted any mention of the dangers, only focusing on the fantastical aspects.

Let's talk more about the delicious food in Qi state, just to tempt An An's taste buds. One letter is already brimming with descriptions.

Jiang Wang thought for a moment, then picked up his pen to write another letter to Ye Qingyu, expressing his gratitude once again for her care of Jiang An'an. He briefly mentioned his progress in cultivation and discussed some issues related to the applications of Taoism.

Because on my travels, I encountered ferocious beasts in many countries. However, both Yun Guo and Qi Guo were exceptions. So in the end, I couldn't help but ask, where does Yun Guo's Kaimudan come from

After the two letters were written, the coachman reminded Nanyao City was almost there.

Thus, Jiang Wang put down his brush and watched as the crane dispersed into the clouds.

Now he temporarily stayed in Qi, and he didn't worry about Yunhe getting lost. But Qi was ten thousand miles away from Yun, and the round trip would take more than a week.

Nanyang City was tall and majestic, and even before approaching it, one could feel the heat. The entire city was filled with a scorching sensation.

The street was bustling with activity.

The people of Nan Yao City are generally tall and big, with reddish-black skin.

People here probably get short-tempered because they live near a stove all the time. Jiang Wang occasionally saw people haggling with merchants, arguing so fiercely it seemed like they were about to fight.

"Will you sell this for fifty yen"

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Don't even think about it!

“I saw others selling it for only forty dollars!”

"Then find someone else!"

>

"I've been looking for you!"

>

"I won't sell it!"

Jiang Wang silently lowered the curtain.

The currency in circulation in the state of Qi and its vassal states was primarily made up of knife-shaped coins, with gold and silver serving as secondary currencies.

The use of knife-shaped coins in the state of Zhuang was historically motivated and unrelated to the practices of the State of Qi or the standard circular coins used by the vassal states.

The coins from the states of Zhuang and Qi are completely different in terms of both shape and details. Of course, the Qi coin is much harder than the Zhuang coin.

Nan Yao City was different from all the cities Jiang Wang had seen since entering Qi territory. The entire city had a slightly detached air, probably inheriting the style of its ancient country that had been swallowed by the long river of history.

Qi State had a vast territory and abundant resources. It had conquered and annexed many other states, so its land was extensive. As a result, Qi State was home to a variety of customs and practices, but these differences did not detract from the strong rule of the Qi Dynasty.

Traveling in the Zhen Xuan carriage, naturally there wouldn't be any unexpected incidents. Jiang Wang arrived at the Lian Que residence smoothly all the way.

This guy lives in the center of Nanyao City, his house is grand.

Upon hearing the news, Lian Que rushed out of the house.

He had probably been waiting for a long time. He didn't even bother with pleasantries when they met, and he pulled Jiang Wang straight towards the ancestral clan's sword furnace.

The so-called sword furnace, as the name suggests, is the place where the Li clan specializes in casting swords—the Li clan casts various weapons, each with different casting furnaces.

For the Lian Que to use, it naturally has to be the finest one. Only this furnace can represent the Lian Clan's sword furnace.

This hearth fire is said to have been brought by the ancestor of the Lian family when they emigrated from their homeland. It has been burning continuously ever since. Having endured through the ages without going out, it carries a certain historical weight.

Speaking of the Lian sword furnace, this is it.

Outsiders are not permitted to enter, but those who come with a clean dove are treated differently.

Especially since Jiang Wang was still the master of this sword, according to the rules, he was qualified to watch from beside the Sword Furnace.

As he walked deeper, Jiang Wang grew increasingly apprehensive.

I thought the Sparrow Sword was just a decent weapon forged for him, but just from this sword furnace, it's far from that.

Before even reaching the Sword Furnace, one already sees broken swords sticking into the ground like a forest.

He couldn't tell the difference between the broken swords, only that each one felt dangerously sharp.

Following the little sparrow through the winding paths in the Sword Forest, it snaked and turned as if following some kind of formation. Then, suddenly, a bright red giant furnace appeared before their eyes.

This furnace was about the size of an ordinary house. The hearth faced outward, like the gaping maw of some monstrous beast.

The fire burned almost constantly, occasionally leaping up.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

What he felt was not the heat of a furnace, but the beating heart of a primeval beast.
