Acai's Sky

Chapter 592 Midu Immortal Realm 45

They had been wandering aimlessly for several days in this desolate, lifeless and soulless land that seemed to be cursed.

All around was barren land and dry riverbeds. Not even a flying bird could be found. Only deathly silence and despair followed.

Just as they were feeling confused and didn't know how long they would have to wander in this endless wasteland before they could encounter any sign of life.

A striking red area suddenly appeared in front of us, like a strange flame in the desert.

When we got closer, we saw that it was actually a large mining area.

I saw many miners digging ore with great difficulty under the whips of their supervisors, and transporting the ore to the pile of ore not far away, with sweat mixed with soil.

Their faces were haggard and tired, with deep helplessness and fear flashing in their eyes, as if they were entangled in a curse.

Seeing this, Ah Da hurriedly pulled Wu Xinghe forward and tried to ask the workers for some information about this place.

However, when they returned, their faces were gloomy, obviously they had heard something bad from the workers.

"They say this place is called 'Tianyan Realm' and is firmly controlled by a dozen powerful aristocratic families.

Due to poor natural conditions, the yield of crops is pitifully low.

Since the farming technology here is extremely backward, most people can only rely on mining as their only livelihood to make a living.

The people here are basically cultivators who practice body cultivation, but the cost of body cultivation is high, and only the wealthy families can afford it."

Ah Da angrily recounted the news he had just heard, his tone filled with indignation towards this unfair world.

Wu Xinghe also added: "Especially the mine we saw earlier, it belongs to the Ou family.

Now they are forcing villagers from Xiangqian Village to mine for them, and the food they receive in return is pitifully small.

It’s not even enough to feed the whole family…”

At this moment, Tong Jiayuan, who had been sitting silently by the side, suddenly tapped the coffee table in front of him with his fingers, making a rhythmic "dong dong" sound.

He said thoughtfully: "In this case, if we want to find the exit from this damn place, I'm afraid we have to get clues from these aristocratic families.

After all, the ore they mined must be transported out, and this transportation route may be our hope of leaving here."

When Ah Da heard this, he felt that what the patriarch said made a lot of sense, so he quickly called on everyone else to go to the mine together.

They planned to find ways to win over the villagers of Xiangqian Village so as to further inquire about the information about the exit, hoping to find a way out in this ancient secret realm.

Ah Cai said thoughtfully, "Perhaps we can settle down in Xiangqian Village first and slowly inquire about the export situation in the village."

Uncle Gu, the village chief of Xiangqian Village, tremblingly followed Ada and others to the carriage where Acai and his friends were.

"Greetings, my lord!"

Tong Jiayuan nodded vigorously, looked at the old man sincerely, and said slowly: "

Old man, we come from the outside world and it was purely by chance that we stepped into your precious land - this Tianyan Realm.

I apologize for disturbing you. I just want to ask if you know where the exit is.

Uncle Gu nodded in response. After a brief pause, he continued:

"Every thirty years, those large families would travel to the outside world to exchange food and other necessities with the people there.

Calculating it, there are only two years left until the next time they go out to exchange supplies!"

Ah Er, who was standing by, came forward curiously and asked, "If that's the case, why don't you and the others go out together?

In my opinion, there doesn't seem to be much benefit in staying here!

"How hard it is to live without enough food to eat and clothes to wear all day long!"

Hearing this, Uncle Gu couldn't help but shook his head helplessly, and explained with a sigh:

“It’s not that we don’t want to go out, but we simply can’t go out.

As long as you take a step out of this land, your body will explode instantly.

Even for warriors from aristocratic families, even if they have been tempered through countless trials and tribulations, the result is the same."

Upon hearing this, Senior Sister Feng frowned slightly and asked thoughtfully, "Could it be that someone has placed some kind of restriction on this place? So that even our descendants can't leave?"

Uncle Gu pondered for a moment and slowly replied, "As for this, there is actually an ancient book in our village that was passed down from our ancestors. Unfortunately, no one could understand its contents. Today, even the wizards in our village can understand these books."

At this moment, Ah Cai, who had been standing quietly nearby, interrupted softly, "Old man, if it's convenient, we'd like to stay in Xiangqian Village where you are for the time being and leave when the passage opens. Is that okay?"

Uncle Gu's old face, like an orange peel, showed a mouthful of broken teeth. "Welcome, sir. Our village is not far ahead."

Asan drove the carriage and, under the guidance of the village chief Uncle Gu, slowly arrived at Xiangqian Village.

Ah San was shocked by the scene before him. This was a village built entirely of stone.

The whole village is like a huge stone castle, with walls, houses, roads and even roofs made of solid stones.

These stones present a variety of colors and textures, some are rough, some are smooth, and some have mottled marks, as if telling the vicissitudes of time.

Walking into the village, Asan found that the architectural style here was unique and simple.

The stone houses are closely packed together, forming narrow and winding alleys.

The ground of the alley is also paved with stones. When you walk on it, you can feel the hardness and coldness of the stones.

The center of the village is a spacious square with an ancient stone temple standing on it.

The walls of the temple are carved with exquisite patterns and texts, showing the villagers' reverence and worship of the gods.

At the edge of the village, San saw some farmlands and irrigation channels built with stones.

Although these stone farmlands do not look as vibrant as fertile land, they bear witness to the hard work and wisdom of the villagers.

Ah Cai and the others got off the carriage and exclaimed, "Wow, this village built of stone is truly magnificent!"

Uncle Gu grinned, "We go mining when we have nothing to do, so our houses are all built with ore!"

A Cai cast an identification spell on the stone house.

[Identification result: House built with Ganyu stone...]

Ganyu Stone has a hard texture and a surface as smooth as a mirror, as if it can reflect the reality of all things in the world.

The stone has a unique texture, like the traces left by falling rain, delicate and mysterious.

If you look closely, you can find that the colors in the stone are clearly layered, from light green to dark green, with a natural transition, just like an exquisite ink painting.

The touch of Ganyu Stone is cool, yet with a hint of warmth, making people feel a sense of tranquility and peace of mind the moment they touch it.

It has a moderate weight, and it doesn't feel heavy in the hand, nor does it feel light and textureless.

When sunlight shines on the sweet rain stone, it reflects dazzling light, just like a gorgeous rainbow in the sky after the rain, which makes people intoxicated.

"Oh my god, this village is almost entirely built with this stuff, it's amazing!"

Ah Cai stood at the entrance of the village, looking at the rows of strange buildings in front of her, and was secretly amazed.

She muttered softly to herself as she slowly walked into the village with curious steps.

When she came to the fields outside the village, she finally understood why the people here always had no food to eat.

The crops planted in the fields were sparsely distributed in twos and threes, and it looked very desolate.

Due to the scarcity of water and dry weather, the land is as cracked as a turtle's back. Not only is it difficult for crops to grow, but even human survival has become extremely difficult.

"This so-called Absolute Spirit Realm is so strange, it feels like some powerful force has sealed this place off.

Otherwise, how could there not be even a trace of spiritual energy?

They've even drained away all the spiritual energy from the entire 'Sky Flame Realm'. Calling it a Jedi isn't an exaggeration at all!"

Ah Cai stretched out her right index finger, gently scratched her chin, and muttered to herself thoughtfully.

At this moment, Senior Sister Feng Xingluo, who had been following Ah Cai, also nodded slightly in agreement:

"That's right, Junior Sister is absolutely right.

Judging from the current situation, this place does seem to be shrouded in some kind of mysterious seal.

And it seems that this seal is designed to prevent the things inside from escaping, so they don't hesitate to draw away the spiritual energy of the entire "Tianyan Realm" to strengthen the power of the seal.

I just don’t know what kind of terrifying existence is hidden in it…”

At the end of his speech, Feng Xingluo's voice unconsciously lowered a few degrees, and a hint of solemnity appeared in his eyes.

They slowly walked to the end of the village, where there was a vast open space.

As the sunlight shines, the ground seems to be covered with a layer of golden velvet carpet.

Ah Cai raised her jade hand lightly, and two rays of light flashed in an instant. Then two exquisite and elegant bamboo buildings appeared steadily in front of everyone.

The bamboo building has a unique shape, and the fragrance of green bamboo is refreshing, which makes people feel relaxed and happy.

When the village chief, Uncle Gu, saw this magical scene, his eyes widened as big as copper bells and his face was full of disbelief.

He was so excited that his body trembled involuntarily. His legs went weak and he fell to his knees with a thud.

He kowtowed and bowed repeatedly to Acai and her bamboo house.

He muttered to himself, "Oh my God, this is the land of absolute spirits.

My dear sir, you are able to cast spells so easily.

These two bamboo buildings appeared out of thin air.

And you can also use the mysterious storage bag.

I guess they must have brought in endless amounts of valuable supplies from the outside world.

Can we poor villagers exchange some with you?

Even just a little bit is fine!"

Ah Da, who was standing by, hurried forward, stretched out his hand and helped Uncle Gu up, saying non-stop:

"Oh, Uncle Gu, please stop kneeling! This is really torturing us!"

Ah Cai smiled and nodded in response: "No problem, Uncle Gu.

As long as you need anything, you can come and exchange supplies with us.

We have a lot of supplies here, not just for your village, but also for people from other surrounding villages. If you want any, feel free to come."
