The flying boat had not yet landed when a group of soldiers jumped down.
Boom boom!
The soldiers landed like massive stones. The weakest among them was at the early stage of Grandmaster.
At this moment, a man in a long robe gracefully descended.
"Young Master Ling, Miss Hongxiu, are you injured?" the robed man asked.
"Thank you for your concern, Commander Chen. Thanks to this brother, we were able to escape," Chen Hongxiu said, pointing to Qin Hanchu.
The robed man looked at Qin Hanchu, who was emitting the power fluctuations of an elemental warrior.
"To reach Elemental Warrior at such a young age is quite impressive."
"However, why are your clothes so strange?"
"You are not from the Savage Domain?"
Commander Chen asked, looking at Qin Hanchu's attire with confusion.
Qin Hanchu's battle suit was filled with futuristic technological flair.
But the people in this world were still dressed in ancient attire.
Of course, their clothes were still exquisite.
Qin Hanchu nodded, "Yes, I come from a very distant territory."
Commander Chen's attitude, which had been initially favorable, turned cold upon learning that Qin Hanchu was not from the Savage Domain.
"Everyone, I will escort you back to your tribes."
Commander Chen said to Chen Hongxiu and the others, his gaze completely overlooking Qin Hanchu.
"Commander Chen, can Brother Qin also ride the flying boat with us?" Chen Hongxiu asked.
"I apologize, the flying boat does not carry outsiders," the Commander replied, directly grabbing Chen Hongxiu and heading towards the flying boat.
"Commander Chen..."
Before Chen Hongxiu could finish her words, she heard Commander Chen say coldly, "Keep your distance from outsiders, or you will be implicated."
In the blink of an eye, Zhang Fengling and the others were taken away.
Only Qin Hanchu remained on the ground.
Qin Hanchu stood in place, watching the flying boat recede. He frowned and murmured, "So exclusive? Are all these domains hostile to each other?"
Commander Chen had not bothered to ask which domain Qin Hanchu belonged to, immediately showing him a cold shoulder.
This clearly indicated that relations between the various domains were tense.
It seemed he needed to change his attire.
Even though Chen Hongxiu and the others had left, Qin Hanchu had already learned the location of Qiufeng City.
One day later, Qin Hanchu saw Qiufeng City from afar.
Even from a thousand meters away, Qin Hanchu was still awestruck by the city.
The city was incredibly majestic. It sat there like a ferocious primordial beast, exuding a terrifying aura.
The city walls of Zulong City were already quite high, but the city walls of Qiufeng City were even more magnificent.
Qin Hanchu glanced at them; the city walls were easily a hundred meters tall.
Most importantly, the material of these city walls was very special.
They were entirely black, carved with intricate runes.
These runes emitted a faint halo under the light.
Seeing these city walls, Qin Hanchu was reminded of the Eight Tribes' underground palaces on Blue Star.
The martial arts heritage of Blue Star was by no means weaker than that of the world where Zulong City was located, and many secrets were still hidden there.
Qin Hanchu walked step by step to the city gate and then entered without any obstruction.
By this time, Qin Hanchu had changed out of his previous clothes.
His current attire was something he had "picked up" on the road.
Wearing the clothes of this world, Qin Hanchu no longer looked so out of place.
Of course, his short hair was still a bit incongruous.
Qiufeng City was extremely prosperous. Although its architecture was ancient in style, it was very magnificent.
The main road was over twenty meters wide, with bustling shops lining both sides.
As he was walking, Qin Hanchu heard a beast's roar.
Looking up, he saw a middle-aged man riding a golden fierce beast walking down the street.
"That's a Twin-Eyed Golden Lion, and it's a terrifying existence comparable to a War King."
"That's an elder from the Chen family, a War Venerable level expert."
"When can I reach War Venerable too?"
"Don't even think about it unless you join a martial arts sect and receive their resource support."
"Relying on ourselves alone, it's unknown if we can even reach the Elemental level in this lifetime."
Around him, some passers-by were discussing in low voices.
From these people's conversations alone, Qin Hanchu gained an understanding of the "environment" in this world.
Cultivation resources were controlled by major powers and sects.
For ordinary people to achieve success, they either had to depend on families or join martial arts sects.
However, neither families nor martial arts sects accepted just anyone.
Only those with potential were eligible for training.
In return, they naturally pledged loyalty to the family or sect.
Qin Hanchu entered a shop by the roadside and learned after inquiring that gold coins and raw stones were in circulation here.
"Do you buy these?" Qin Hanchu took out a fire element crystal core and placed it before the杂货店 boss.
Upon seeing the crystal core, the雜貨店 boss's eyes lit up. He chuckled and said, "High-grade Spirit Core, worth ten high-grade raw stones."
The so-called High-grade Spirit Core was the crystal core of a monster comparable to a War Venerable.
It was quite shocking that Qin Hanchu, so young, would bring out such a precious Spirit Core to sell.
One high-grade raw stone was equal to one hundred mid-grade raw stones, and one mid-grade raw stone was equal to one hundred low-grade raw stones.
As for one low-grade raw stone, it was equivalent to a thousand gold coins.
Ten high-grade raw stones were a fortune for an ordinary person.
Qin Hanchu needed some money to get by, so he sold the "Spirit Core" directly.
With the raw stones, Qin Hanchu solved his accommodation and food problems.
Just as Qin Hanchu was about to leave, he suddenly heard someone call out, "Little brother, please wait."
Turning his head, he saw a beautiful woman walking gracefully towards him.
"What is it?" Qin Hanchu asked.
The woman smiled, "How many of these crystal cores do you have, little brother?"
"It's none of your business," Qin Hanchu replied.
"Do you have any earth element crystal cores? If so, I can buy them at a high price," the woman said with a smile.
Qin Hanchu did not reply further and turned to leave.
In reality, Qin Hanchu still had over ten such crystal cores on him.
He just didn't want to sell them.
Seeing Qin Hanchu leave, the woman beckoned.
Soon, a man appeared beside the woman.
"Go and investigate his identity."
"To be able to produce a High-grade Spirit Core at such a young age, which young master is this?"
The woman knew the powers in Qiufeng City like the back of her hand but did not recognize Qin Hanchu.
Leaving the杂货店, Qin Hanchu went to a restaurant.
The dishes here were mainly made of fierce beast meat. Qin Hanchu ordered a few dishes, and they tasted quite good.
"Have you heard? The City Lord will be holding an auction next week."
"I heard about it long ago. Apparently, some Five Elements Spirit Herbs will be put up for auction."
"Too bad, you need an invitation to enter this auction."
While eating, a few people were chatting and sat down next to Qin Hanchu.
Five Elements Spirit Herbs?
This was the first time Qin Hanchu had heard this term.
Although it was the first time he had heard it, Qin Hanchu could guess what it was.
The environment in this world was different from Blue Star; its Five Elements were more concentrated.
In such an environment, some precious herbs should have been born.
Perhaps these herbs even contained Five Elements attributes.
These medicinal materials should be what are called Five Elements Spirit Herbs.
