I Have A City In An Alternate World

1790 The world of the artisans (1)

The cultivator who spoke looked at Tang Zhen. There was a trace of vigilance in his eyes, as well as an unnoticeable joy.

He placed his hands behind his back and made a hand gesture to his companions. At the same time, he asked Tang Zhen,”Brother, you look unfamiliar. It should be your first time coming to these ruins. May I know where you are from?”

While he was speaking, the surrounding cultivators slowly spread out and blocked Tang Zhen’s path.

Tang Zhen merely smiled faintly when he saw the other party’s actions.

Obviously, the question just now had aroused the other party’s suspicion. However, there must be a reason for them to be so sensitive.

“Where do you think I’m from?”

Tang Zhen retorted. He looked at the cultivator in front of him who had a stiff expression and was calculating in his heart.

“Yingluo, I think you’re something that came out of the creation ball!”

When the cultivator said this, he suddenly attacked Tang Zhen’s vital points.

Regardless of whether Tang Zhen’s identity was as he had guessed, there was no problem in subduing him first.

If it was, then he would treat it as an unexpected fortune. If it wasn’t, then he would just make do with the mistake and kill people after subduing them.

His companions also cooperated with each other and attacked Tang Zhen from all directions. From their appearance, it was clear that this was not the first time they had done such a thing.

This was the world of cultivators. It was cruel and bloody, and one would be schemed against if they were not careful.

Seeing that Tang Zhen had already been surrounded, that cultivator revealed a malevolent expression.”I don’t care who you are, just die!”

From his point of view, Tang Zhen was currently surrounded and had no possibility of escaping.

“Oh, really? Why do I feel like you’ll be the ones to die?”

Tang Zhen’s face revealed a trace of disdain as he looked at the attack that came toward him. He merely waved his hand gently.

The cultivator’s expression changed drastically. Then, his body flew backward like a broken kite, blood spurting from his mouth.

As for the cultivators next to them, they were instantly frozen on the spot. Ice thorns burst out of their blood vessels and pierced their bodies like honeycombs.

The only surviving cultivator who fell to the ground saw this and was so scared that he kept retreating on the ground, his eyes filled with horror.

When he saw Tang Zhen kill his companion with a wave of his hand, how could he not realize that he had already gotten himself into big trouble?

This cultivator of unknown origin was not a terrifying existence that they could fight against. They had lost their lives in vain because of their greed.

“Who exactly are you, Zhenzhen?”

Before the cultivator who spat out blood could finish his words, he was sucked into Tang Zhen’s hand. Then, he fell to the ground like a pile of mud.

In this short period of time, his memory had been searched by Tang Zhen before he died.

it turns out that they thought I was a creature that had escaped from the creation ball and wanted to capture me and sell me at the auction house for money.

Tang Zhen laughed. He had indeed rushed out from the creation ball. However, he was not a creature from the creation ball. At most, he could be considered an intruder by accident.

Through this cultivator’s memories, Tang Zhen knew that the crystal ball in his hand was called an creation ball. It indeed had the ability to create living things.

However, creation spheres were also divided into different grades. The most ordinary creation spheres could only promote the growth of a plant or a certain living creature.

Due to the difference in the strength of the creator, the grade of the materials used, and the grade of the creation ball, the level of the creation ball was also different.

The highest grade of creation ball had the ability to create everything and create a world. This was the sealed continent in Tang Zhen’s hands.

However, an creation ball of this level was extremely rare and wouldn’t easily appear.

Not only did it require the creator to have extraordinary strength and top-grade materials, but it also required a long time to catalyze it before it could finally form a situation similar to the sealed continent.

It could be said that Tang Zhen’s luck was quite good. He had just arrived in this plane and had already obtained a valuable treasure.

As for how the creation sphere was made and what materials were needed, they were all controlled by the aristocratic families and Academies on this plane. Ordinary cultivators had no chance to come into contact with them at all.

The only thing they could do was to provide all kinds of materials to the artisans who had mastered the secret technique of creation.

When he had enough wealth, he could find a place to impart knowledge and slowly learn this knowledge.

They were known as gatherers, and they made up 90% of the cultivators on this plane.

This was a completely different world. There were all kinds of strange species, and 90% of them were created by artisans.

The items created by artisans covered all aspects of life. Whether it was clothing, food, housing, transportation, or cultivation resources, they were all inseparable from the shadow of an artisan.

The plant-like buildings that Tang Zhen had seen in the ruins earlier were special species that were cultivated by an artisan thousands of years ago. They could be seen frequently in this plane.

If Tang Zhen wanted to learn the knowledge of an artisan through formal channels, he would also have to spend a large amount of money and find a place to specifically teach.

In this plane, it was common for creatures from the creation ball to escape.

If these creatures were rare, they could be exchanged for a large amount of wealth once caught.

Either the original owner paid money to redeem it, or it was directly handed over to the auction house for auction. In the case of such a thing, cultivators would fight to capture it.

In fact, under normal circumstances, the creatures in the creation ball could not pass through the crystal wall at all. Only through the special incantation set by the creator could the object in the creation ball be released.

The reason for this could be that there was a loophole in the creation ball’s production process. It had become a defective product.

Or, the creatures inside had mutated and gained great power, which allowed them to break through the crystal wall and come to the outside world.

From Tang Zhen’s point of view, this kind of creation ball was more like a small chiliocosm, while the plane under his feet was a large chiliocosm.

After Tang Zhen finished analyzing the memories he had obtained, he searched the corpses of the gatherers and chose a direction to continue moving.

According to the gatherer’s memory, there was a large city about a thousand miles ahead, and the knowledge of the creation sphere that he wanted to learn was there.

The distance of a thousand miles was covered in the blink of an eye.

At this moment, an incomparably huge city appeared in front of Tang Zhen’s eyes. The buildings here were of all kinds of strange shapes and truly widened one’s eyes.

Buildings made of grass and trees, mud and stone, flesh and blood, and some other unknown things could also be used as buildings.

...

There were also all sorts of strange animals and plants in the city. The colors and folk customs were unique, decorating the city like a fairy tale world.

The clothes of the residents here were also quite unique. They were gorgeous and flamboyant, as if they were going to a ball.

His concealed trail landed in a small alley by the side of the street. Tang Zhen walked out and slowly advanced along the lively Main Street.

The reason why this city was so prosperous was entirely because of the existence of the creation Academy. It could be said that the entire city was serving it. ɪꜰ ʏᴏᴜ ᴡᴀɴᴛ ᴛᴏ ʀᴇᴀᴅ ᴍᴏʀᴇ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs, ᴘʟᴇᴀsᴇ ᴠɪsɪᴛ NoᴠelFɪre.net

While Tang Zhen was walking, he could see a forest of shops on both sides of the street. Most of them were selling various kinds of materials.

From time to time, gatherers, as well as men and women in Academy uniforms, would come in and out, making the place very lively.

An artisan was a very expensive profession. From the beginning to the end, the money invested was like a bottomless pit. Even if one was extremely rich, they wouldn’t be able to afford such a consumption.

Hence, these artisans would try to create some simple items to sell during the learning process. This way, they could alleviate the financial pressure during the learning process.

When he thought of this, Tang Zhen casually took out a coin and shook it in his palm.

The coins used in this plane were a special metal that could only be produced in a special creation ball.

It was precisely because of the uniqueness of this metal that it was chosen as a currency. Even if outsiders wanted to replicate it, they could not do so.

...

After searching the corpses of the gatherers, Tang Zhen had only managed to gather a hundred coins. Compared to the amount of money he had to spend to learn, it was not even a fraction of it.

Tang Zhen, who possessed the balance of fate, naturally wouldn’t worry about money because he could use destiny gold coins to exchange for it.

Summoning the scales of fate in his mind, Tang Zhen proposed to use the gold coin of fate to exchange for the coins of this plane.

The result was unexpected. A single coin of destiny had been exchanged for tens of millions of this world’s currency.

It only took ten destiny gold coins for Tang Zhen to become a billionaire, so how could he still worry about money?
