Accompanied by a huge roar, a train came from a distance.
When the train stopped, passengers who had gone through a long journey gushed out of the platform like running water.
The staff on the platform kept wandering, looking for suspicious objects in the crowd.
In the last carriage, Tang Zhen walked down slowly, followed by Hans in a coat next to him.
Mixing into the flow of people, he quickly left the station.
The temperature dropped sharply last night, flakes of snow fell in the sky, and pedestrians on the road quickened their pace.
This is the Frost City, located in the northernmost part of the empire, with four distinct weather.
Tang Zhen came here because the official organization is very weak in this border city.
Practitioners from many countries have gathered in Frost City, calling it the Capital of Freedom.
Tang Zhen wanted to improve his strength and find useful clues. Frost City was the best choice.
After arriving at Frost City, you only need to search carefully, and you can easily find quite a lot of clues.
For example, in certain corners, there are marks that can only be seen by monks. For example, in certain taverns and gambling halls, special contacts are active.
As long as you follow the other party's guidance, you can go to the area that belongs to the activity of the practitioner.
Tang Zhen found a middle-aged man, showed his identity, and gave him a remuneration.
The middle-aged man led Tang Zhen to an ancient house in the city. It looked like it had a history of several hundred years.
After I went in, I discovered that there was a cave in here.
It turned out that under the house, connected to the ancient underground caves, crisscrossed inside, even the border defense line can be easily crossed.
The cave is not only spacious enough, but also hot springs and ground fires, and various luminous plants grow.
There are meeting places, a tavern shop under the ground, and a place to sell information.
According to official statistics, the total number of practitioners and ordinary people living underground is probably more than 200,000.
Practitioners of all kinds, shuttled back and forth here, mixed with ordinary people, it can be called the most lively place in Frost City.
Due to the large number of practitioners and the strength they possessed, the officials had to close one eye and acquiesced to the existence of this place.
When Tang Zhen came to the underground city, he didn't attract many people's attention. Foreign practitioners like him came in and out a lot every day.
The purpose of Tang Zhen's trip was to obtain more advanced materials and raise his strength to the king level.
Only after reaching the king level, can they use their perception skills reluctantly to deduce the approximate location of detecting the fragments of the **** body.
Calculating the gods with the body of a mortal is itself an act against the sky, and it will inevitably suffer a fatal backlash.
In order to fight backlash, Tang Zhen also had to be prepared, first of all he had to refine a batch of avatar charms.
As long as the magic talisman is enough, Tang Zhen's skills can be used indefinitely, and there is no need to worry about any backlash.
In addition, in his hands, there are taboo items from ancient tombs, which must be sold in exchange for money.
After inquiring about the trading rules, it can be sent to the street auction house and can be auctioned openly at any time.
Tang Zhen found the person in charge, showed his belongings to the other party, and then obtained the qualification for auction.
Ten percent of the proceeds from the auction are used as handling fees, and ninety percent belongs to the holder.
This price is fairly fair. If there is no such auction channel, not only will the sales be very difficult, but the sales price may also be greatly reduced.
Before long, it was Tang Zhen's turn to play.
Hearing the introduction of the auctioneer, the cultivators on the street and the merchants who acted as Erdao dealers all showed expressions of interest.
Taboo items are strictly controlled and contained in other places, but they will appear from time to time in Frost City.
The stolen goods that are not easy to sell in the field will also be sent to this underground black market, and a suitable buyer will always be found.
These items in Tang Zhen's hands contained extremely high energy values, which attracted the interest of many practitioners.
They look at the item introduction, compare the price and performance, and bid when it feels right.
All of the fifteen items sent for auction were auctioned successfully, and a large amount of banknotes were obtained in exchange.
After getting the money, it didn't stay long, and then it was replaced with a pile of materials.
Finding a remote cave, let Hans be responsible for guarding the door, Tang Zhen began to retreat to refine magic charms.
In the next period of time, a piece of magical talisman was refined, which could help Tang Zhen resist the backlash of divine power, and could also effectively kill the enemy in battle.
The accumulation of profound knowledge allows Tang Zhen to do these things with ease. As long as he is given a little time to overcome the early difficulties, he will have the possibility of creating miracles next.
After spending several days, Tang Zhen finished refining the spirit talisman, and all the materials in his hand were exhausted.
The next thing to do is to arm Hans the Ghoul so that he has a stronger combat effectiveness.
As Tang Zhen's personal servant, Hans the Ghoul will act as the main battle force before being promoted to the king rank.
Since he is undertaking an important task, he must be well armed. Hans can defeat the enemy in a ruinous manner, and the beneficiary will naturally be Tang Zhen.
In Tang Zhen's eyes, Hans was a battle platform, free to be retrofitted.
Unless the conditions are restricted, it is really possible to arm Hans the Ghoul to the teeth.
If necessary, Tang Zhen will make a few more ghouls so that he can have more powerful combat effectiveness.
Coming out of the retreat, Tang Zhen reappeared in the underground black market and purchased a large amount of materials.
Then I went to the blacksmith's shop, rented various tools, and began to design and manufacture the necessary equipment.
The steam engine in this world has been widely used, and there are all kinds of machinery in underground caves.
Work such as stamping and forging can also be done easily, but the productivity is pitiful.
Tang Zhen is not picky. With the aid of these tools, his operation speed can be doubled.
In just a few days, Tang Zhen had built a suit of armor for Hans the Ghoul, turning it into a real iron can.
It is not an ordinary metal plate armor, but a metal gear engraved with special runes, which has a very powerful amplification ability.
In addition to improved defense capabilities, it is also equipped with large-caliber muskets, high-speed chain saws, and extremely sharp claw knives.
At the same time, inside the armor, there is a special medicine chest, which contains potions that can make the ghoul go crazy.
After some reforms, Hans the Ghoul's combat power has increased wildly, becoming a qualified meat shield and combat power output.
After completing the transformation of the ghoul, Tang Zhen came to the market again. While collecting information, he was also looking for some high-return employment tasks.
The heavily armed Hans made it very easy to receive the task. As long as the employer is not blind, he can see that this ghoul is powerful.
The other ghoul cultivators, in contrast to Hans, are not at the same level at all.
Soon Tang Zhen received the task to go to the border with a group of practitioners to explore an ancient secret ruin.
The tasks are well paid. The employers only need their own items, and all the items harvested by the participants belong to the individual.
After accepting the task, the employer sent a carriage to transport Tang Zhen and other monks.
It took a full five days to finally reach the destination, a valley shrouded in snow all year round.
Under the guidance of the employer, everyone entered a cave and was soon attacked by various monsters.
Everyone cleared the monsters while walking along the cave, encountering fatal danger several times during the period.
Whenever there was a crisis, Tang Zhen stepped forward, not only to resolve the disaster crisis, but also to save the lives of several monks.
Superb methods, profound knowledge, and powerful servants like Hans.
In just a short time, Tang Zhen was convinced by the monks and became the leader of the team.
In the next time, Tang Zhen commanded the monks and arrived at the core of the cave without any risk.
There is a temple where the items needed by the employer are placed, and there are also many taboo items scattered.
The mission was successfully completed, the cultivators returned with a full load, and Tang Zhen's fame gradually spread.
