Medic Martial Dragon King

Chapter 2347: Chapter 2351: Abandoned Town

This is a vast plain, spanning hundreds of thousands of miles, yet it does not belong to any large domain.

Originally, this was a densely populated city, but in ancient times, an extraterritorial alien race invaded the Void Nether Realm, forcibly refining this city. Since then, the area within these hundreds of thousands of miles has become a dead zone, filled with rampant Death Qi.

After the Canglan Great Emperor ruled the Canglan Continent, he once led a group of powerful individuals to spend several years purifying the Death Qi here.

However, although the Death Qi was purified, the Spiritual Energy and the Great Dao Aura of this place could never be restored to their original state. Moreover, when cultivators of the Void Refinement Realm and above come here, they will all be suppressed to the Divine Infant Realm Peak stage, unless they can reach the legendary Supreme Realm; otherwise, they cannot exert their own strength here.

Since then, this place has become desolate, as no one is willing to live in such a sparsely Spiritual Energy place, which is even inferior to the borderlands of the continent, as if abandoned by the world.

And some fierce criminals from various places have found a refuge here. Whether they are murderers or cultivators who have offended great powers, all those with no way out will come here seeking refuge.

Here, as long as the legendary Supreme does not take action, everyone is at the Divine Infant Realm Peak, even the Saints are no exception.

Therefore, over time, this plain has been filled with all kinds of ruthless and vicious characters.

Since then, people from the Canglan Continent have been even more unwilling to come here, and they have directly given this plain a derogatory name, the Abandoned Plains!

The Abandoned Plains back onto the grand and vast Wulong Mountain Range, which stretches almost through the center of ten major domains of the Void Nether Realm, and the Abandoned Plains are like a basin caught in the grasp of a dragon-claw-shaped mountain range. At the dragon claw’s enclosure, there is the only small town leading to the Abandoned Plains, which people from the Canglan Continent call the Abandoned Town.

This Abandoned Town does not belong to any large domain either. The nearby Qinghe Realm once tried to control this town, but every manager they sent was killed by the vicious people coming out of the Abandoned Plains.

Infuriated, the Domain Lord of the Qinghe Realm sent a strong Integration Path stage cultivator to guard this place. However, the next day, the guard was found dead at his residence.

After that, the Qinghe Realm gave up controlling this town, and a rumor about a Saint in the Abandoned Plains spread.

In the center of the Abandoned Town is the only inn in town, named the Forsaken Tavern, which combines dining and accommodation.

This inn covers a vast area, with the range of a thousand meters all within its premises; nearly everyone who comes to this town stays in this inn.

And anyone staying at this inn can rest assuredly at night. However, if someone roams around town at night, they might suddenly be killed and their corpse discarded on the street.

Most of the inhabitants of this town are those who gather news from the outside world for the Abandoned Plains, and those who come and go here are some adventure seekers who live on the edge of risk and danger.

These adventurers come here to hunt a kind of monster from the Abandoned Plains known as Necro Spirits.

These Necro Spirits, upon death, will transform into Necro Spheres, which contain all the spiritual power from before the spirit turned into a monster, and some Necro Spheres even contain Great Dao Comprehension.

If one is lucky enough to slay a Necro Spirit that was a Saint before transforming, the one who obtains the Necro Sphere can soar to great heights!

Due to the special nature of the Abandoned Plains, these Necro Spirits only possess the power of the Divine Infant Realm Peak, lacking their former life abilities, attracting numerous adventurers each year to come here to hunt Necro Spirits.

Even heirs from major families and forces come here for training.

However, those who come here must be prepared to face death, as the Abandoned Plains are filled with infamously ruthless individuals!

”Yo, which family’s foolish heir has come here for training again?”

”Judging by that tender skin, I bet they’ve never experienced real combat!”

”And why are there five Mid Divine Infant Realm guys?”

”No way, are they really going into the Abandoned Plains? They must be here just to buy Necro Spheres, right?”

On the third floor of the Forsaken Tavern, a burst of chatter arose.

At the third-floor staircase, ten young men and women walked up, following the inn’s waiter to a window seat.

”Young masters and misses, we have only this one table left. Would you mind squeezing together a bit?”

The waiter smiled lightly, looking at the ten youths with a gleam in his eyes.

”Sure!”

A young man in white nodded gently, taking out an Inferior Spirit Stone from a space ring and casually tossing it to the waiter.

”Young master, our inn does not accept spirit stones, only gold coins!”

The waiter glanced at the spirit stone in his hand, showing a greedy look, yet still returned it.

”Not accepting spirit stones?”

The ten youths were all momentarily surprised.

Noticing the greed in the waiter’s eyes and the hand tightly clutching the spirit stone, the young man in white slightly smiled, taking out a small bag of gold coins from the space ring, tossing it again to the waiter: ”This is for the inn’s expenses; if it’s not enough, just ask me for more, as for the spirit stone...”

The waiter caught the money bag, hearing this, stared intently at the young man.

”It’s a gift for you!”

The young man curved the corner of his mouth, smiling lightly as he spoke.

”Oh, thank you, young master, for the reward!”

Upon hearing this, the waiter smiled happily, quickly retracting the hand holding the spirit stone, bowing to Jiang Chen with a beaming face.

This waiter was merely at the early Unification Realm stage, and an Inferior Spirit Stone was enough for him to cultivate for a long time.

”Waiter, how many rooms are left?”

The young man spoke again.

”Young master, it’s currently the period when Necro Spirits are in turmoil, and young masters and misses from all regions have come to our Abandoned Town, so there aren’t many rooms left. Only three remain.”

The waiter, perhaps out of a sense of guilt for accepting the spirit stone, spoke with a wry smile.

”No problem, we’ll take those three rooms then!”

The young man chuckled softly.

”Young master, one room per night costs one gold coin; the coins you just gave amount to one hundred. Without counting food, you can stay for more than a month.”

The waiter shook the money bag in his hand with a smile, ”I’ll go get the keys for you right away, you can look at the menu first, and when I return with the keys, feel free to order.”

”Okay!”

The young man nodded.

The waiter took two steps back, turned around, and walked downstairs.

”Jiang Chen, you’re still carrying gold coins? But it’s fortunate you did; otherwise, we wouldn’t be able to stay here!”

A girl at the same table spoke with relief.

This group of ten was Jiang Chen’s team, who came to the Abandoned Town after leaving the Demonic Beast Forest.

The five Academy members were Liu Chang, Wu Zhong, Li Qiang, Sun Liang, and Hu Ming, and teaming with Jiang Chen, besides Jian Wuheng and Feng Qingyang, were a female student from Changhe Academy, Lin Shanshan, and a solitary young man from Yaoyang Academy, Pang Wei.
