Chapter 1027 Ten Thousand Dragon Country, Qingtian Town
After entering the illusion, Lu Yu was in a dense forest ruins. He could not make out the surrounding ruins as he glanced around and prepared to go down the mountain along the side path.
Walking down the mountain road, he could hear the chirping of birds and the faint fragrance of flowers in the air.
Lu Yu walked forward and soon arrived at the foot of the mountain.
Looking forward from the foot of the mountain, there was a vast plain.
He raised his hand to cover his forehead, blocking the sunlight and looking forward.
In the distance, he saw a town standing in a wheat field.
Lu Yu started walking forward.
He originally thought this so-called Jade Dragon Illusory Realm should be a small world. However, looking around, he realized this place was rather vast and stunning.
Lu Yu continued to walk forward and gradually approached the golden wheat field.
In front of him was a golden field of wheat, and the air was filled with the fragrance of ripe wheat.
Lu Yu saw a few figures busy in the farmland.
Lu Yu continued walking forward and soon arrived at the town entrance.
At the entrance of the town, there was a huge plaque with a few words written on it: Qingtian Town.
After Lu Yu walked into the town, someone cast a curious look at him.
The person walked over and approached Lu Yu.
“You’re from out of town, right?”
Standing in front of Lu Yu was a little boy. He looked up at Lu Yu and widened his eyes curiously.
Lu Yu looked at him and smiled. “That’s right, I’m from outside. You guys… shouldn’t be unwelcoming to outsiders, right?”
“Of course, you’re welcome. We’ve lived here for generations, and most of us have never left this town. We’re very curious about the outside world.”
Lu Yu looked at the boy and continued to ask, “What country does your town belong to?”
The little boy looked at Lu Yu curiously. “You don’t even know this? We’re in the Ten Thousand Dragon Country. We’re just an inconspicuous town with little to do with this country.”
“Ten Thousand Dragon Country? Isn’t this the Jade Dragon Illusory Realm?”
“I think there seems to be such a saying. The Jade Spirit Dragon exists in the Ten Thousand Dragon Country and covers this country with a layer of barriers to defense against an a.s.sault, which might be meteorites or the like. At the same time, it prevented enemies from the outside world from teleporting over. Therefore, our place is sacred. No outsiders enter this place all year round.”
Lu Yu nodded slightly. “Since it’s called an illusion, shouldn’t it be an illusory world? Or did I misunderstand?”
“No, it’s not. The meaning of the illusion is like a dreamland. It’s a good name. It doesn’t mean anything else. It’s not an illusion or anything like that.”
The little boy led the way. “Come with me,” he said as he walked. “I’ll show you around this town.”
“For example, that red brick building in front. That’s an inn. You can rest and stay there.”
“The wooden house next door is a local restaurant. If you’re hungry, you can go there to eat something.”
“Oh right, there’s also the post office. If you know someone here, you can write to them and tell them that you’re in Qingtian Town. They can come over and meet you here.”
“How is it? Not bad, right?”
Lu Yu smiled helplessly. “Unfortunately, I don’t know anyone in the Ten Thousand Dragon Kingdom.”
“Even if there are, their whereabouts are unknown.”
“Is that so? So, am I your first friend? If you have any questions, you can ask me!”
He looked at Lu Yu happily.
“No problem. My name is Lu Yu. What’s your name?”
“My name is Jiang Xun. This is great! I actually got to know an outsider! I want to hear about the outside world from you!”
Lu Yu smiled and shrugged. “I will if I have the time.”
Lu Yu walked toward the inn.
“Brother Lu, you need to spend gold coins to stay here. Do you have a lot of gold coins on you?”
Lu Yu had not used money for some time. He did not know how many gold coins were left in his pocket watch.
He took out his pocket watch and sent his consciousness into it. After checking it, he found a pile of gold coins in the corner.
He took out one.
“Is this okay?”
“No, the quality of your gold coins is too poor. We won’t accept them.”
Jiang Xun frowned and shouted when he saw the gold coin in Lu Yu’s hand.
Lu Yu scratched his head. “Is the quality still bad?”
“Here, look at this!”
Jiang Xun took a gold coin from his pocket and held it before Lu Yu.
“See this? The purity of this gold can almost be used as a mirror. Yours is obviously much worse.”
“Moreover, we can’t understand what’s engraved on it. If you spend it, I’m afraid it will be treated as counterfeit money.”
Lu Yu shrugged helplessly and returned the gold coin to his pocket watch. “If that’s the case, then I’m penniless.”
“Well… I don’t have much pocket money on me, so I’m afraid I can’t help you solve your accommodation problem.”
“Alright, then find me a place where I can make money.”
Lu Yu asked.
“Well, go to the town hall and take a look. You could find some bounty quests there.”
“Take me there. I don’t know the way.”
“Alright, then, I’ll lead the way for you. This is what good friends should do!”
He crossed his arms and walked forward quickly.
“Jiang Xun, what are you doing? Let’s go play. Everyone’s waiting for you!”
A little girl ran over to him and excitedly grabbed his wrist.
“I made a new friend, so I won’t be playing with you guys for the time being.”
As he spoke, he pulled his hand back.
The girl was stunned before she turned her gaze to Lu Yu.
“Who is this strange uncle? Could he be a bad person? Don’t get too close to him.”
Jiang Xun immediately got anxious. “Don’t speak ill of my friend. He’s a traveler from the outside world. Although we don’t know his background, you know how difficult it is for us to meet an outsider here!”
The girl’s eyes lit up, looking at Lu Yu curiously. “An outsider? No wonder he’s dressed so strangely.”
Lu Yu was wearing his close-fitting Void Battle Suit, a black jacket, and black sweatpants.
Compared to the ancient-looking clothing here, there was a huge difference.
“How far is it?” Lu Yu asked Jiang Xun.
“It’s just ahead!”
He jogged all the way to the town hall and stood in front of the wooden noticeboard downstairs.
“Look, there’s a quest today. There’s a big bounty mission!”
He pointed at the notice board and shouted excitedly.
“As long as you kill this scoundrel, you can get 50 gold coins!”
“How many gold coins do I need to stay for one night?” Lu Yu asked.
“One gold coin will do, and it will include food, lodging, and bathing.”
Lu Yu nodded slightly. “If this quest is completed, my initial funds will be guaranteed. In this case, I don’t have to worry about my basic necessities.”
