8: First stop, the passionate Blazing Fire City
There was still half a year before the opening of the Intermediate Soul Master Academy, and Wang Qi also set out on his journey after completing all graduation procedures.The first stop is the holy land of fire-attribute soul masters, Blazing Fire City.
As the Blazing Fire City on the Douluo Continent, on par with the Divine Wind City, Tianshui City, and Thunder City, the most special thing about it is the Blazing Fire Canyon.
If the Star Dou Great Forest is the Douluo Continent, it is the largest soul beast forest with the most complete soul beast species, the largest number, and the strongest overall strength.
Then the Blazing Fire Canyon is a paradise for fire-attributed soul beasts. The unique environment makes the interior of the Blazing Fire Canyon extremely suitable for the growth of fire-attributed soul beasts and fire-attributed treasures.
The wide variety and dense numbers of fire-attributed soul beasts make almost every soul master with a little talent come to Blazing Fire City.
Along the way, Wang Qi practiced while traveling, and at the same time disposed of all the items that should not be stored in the soul guide. Finally, after a month, he arrived at Chihuo City.
Looking at the scale of Blazing City, Wang Qi found that it seemed a little different from his perception of Blazing City.
It is recorded in the book that Chihuo City is one of the four elemental cities and is extremely suitable for the cultivation of fire-attribute soul masters. In addition, there are powerful soul douluos stationed there. Although the scale of Chihuo City cannot be compared with big cities such as Tiandou City, Xingluo City, and Wuhun City, it is not even inferior to medium-sized cities such as Soto City.
But the Fiery City in front of us is not large in scale, and the height of the city wall is not even as high as that of Notting City. Just looking at the size of the city, you can tell that it can accommodate up to 30,000 people at the same time.
Is this small town really Blazing Fire City, one of the four elemental cities?
Walking on the streets of Blazing Fire City, Wang Qi was curious about everything about Blazing Fire City, except its size, of course.
"Is this your first time in Blazing Fire City, little brother? Do you think Blazing Fire City is not as beautiful as you imagined?"
In a roadside teahouse, the servant took the initiative to talk to Wang Qi in order to invite him to come in for tea.
"Yes, this is my first time here. I heard that Blazing Fire City is a must-visit place for fire attribute soul masters. I didn't expect this place to be..."
Wang Qi smiled awkwardly, ordered a pot of tea and some cakes, and started chatting with the servant.
"Hahaha, you people outside of Blazing Fire City always like to imagine Blazing Fire City to be particularly sacred and magnificent, and even think of Blazing Fire City as a big city like Tiandou City and Xingluo City."
"Young man, you should be a fire attribute spirit master. You may be more adaptable to high temperatures and not so sensitive."
"The temperature in Blazing Fire City is very high, with long days and short nights. During the hottest time of the year, the temperature can even reach nearly 50 degrees. Do you think this kind of place is suitable for ordinary people to live in?"
The waiter in the teahouse was talking, and Wang Qi also sensed the fluctuation of soul power in the waiter. Although he was unable to determine his soul power level, Wang Qi could feel the fluctuation of soul power very clearly.
The air in Blazing City is relatively dry and it is rich in fruit. Due to the climate, the fruit from Blazing City is very popular in other places.
There are fruits, but there is a shortage of food. There is no other way. In order to take control of the lifeline, the Huo family of Chihuo City established the Chihuo Caravan to conduct trade throughout the continent.
The servant's story was interesting and Wang Qi listened with great interest. Just as the servant was introducing Chihuo Academy to Wang Qi, a rough voice sounded from the door.
"You little brat, you're a loser who barely graduated from the junior department of Blazing Academy, and you only know how to talk nonsense. Don't mind it, little brother. My little brat just likes to talk nonsense."
The big man was as his voice indicated, tall, with his upper body naked revealing his bronze muscles. He walked in carrying on his shoulder a soul beast thigh that was about two meters long and as thick as a human waist.
He entered the room without saying a word, sat next to Wang Qi, found a plate, cut a piece of marinated soul beast meat for Wang Qi and pushed it next to Wang Qi.
"Come, have a taste. The hind leg of a five-hundred-year-old flaming leopard tastes very good. Don't worry, it's all our own stuff. We won't charge you any extra money."
"Where are you from, little brother? Are you coming to Blazing Fire City to practice or study?"
"Don't worry, I mean no harm. It's just that outsiders rarely come to my house. I've watched the people in this area for a long time. I either grew up with them or watched them grow up. Once they open their mouths, I know how many hairs they have on their butts. Come on, tell me what's going on outside."
The big man's name is Huolong. He has lived in Chihuo City for generations. The longest distance he has traveled in his life is from Chihuo City to the Chihuo Canyon defense line. As for places farther than that, he has basically never been.
While I am curious about the outside world, I don't like the climate outside and I hate it because it's too humid.
The Fire Dragon has a generous personality. No, it should be the entire Blazing Fire City. Most of the soul masters have very generous personalities. They are hospitable and speak directly. Wang Qi feels a bit like the Ice City that was very popular on the short video platform in his previous life.
The difference is that the Fire City is hot, while the Ice City is cold.
Although Wang Qi was not good at dealing with people, under the guidance of Brother Huolong, he still told a lot about what he saw and heard on the road.
"Brother Huolong, do you mean to say that your Blazing Fire City still has a team of soul masters of a thousand people stationed in the Blazing Fire Canyon, ready to deal with soul beasts that may launch a beast tide at any time?"
"Well, the soul beasts have to riot once every spring. It's so annoying." The fire dragon took a big sip of wine. Fine beads of sweat hung on his red face. Occasionally, he would laugh, which was so refreshing.
Wang Qi chose Chihuo City as his first stop for three reasons. First, to buy medicinal herbs. Most of the people in Chihuo City are fire-attribute soul masters, and the city has 100% medicinal herbs that are helpful for soul masters' cultivation.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
The second is to go to the Blazing Canyon to prepare for his second soul ring in advance, and try to find a soul beast that can improve Wang Qi's qualifications as the second ring.
As for the third one, Chihuo Academy has an intermediate department. Wang Qi wants to understand the training environment of Chihuo Academy and use it as a basis to compare with other intermediate soul master academies.
Now that he heard that a beast tide would break out in the Blazing Canyon every month, Wang Qi wanted to go over and take a look.
"Brother Huolong, I will go with you when the time comes. Although I am only a one-ring spirit master, one more helper will increase the chance of success. When shall we set off? Tomorrow or..."
"Hahaha, brother Wang Qi, you are too impatient. There is no need to be so anxious. You can rest in Blazing Fire City for a few days and experience the local customs and practices of Blazing Fire City."
"In seven days, there will be a big fair in Blazing Fire City. It happens once a month and there will be a lot of good stuff there. You can go and have a look then."
"Brother Wang Qi, do you know why our Blazing Fire City is known as the holy land of fire attribute spirit masters? That's because..."
"Don't worry, brother Wang Qi, since you are in Blazing Fire City, just stay at my brother's house. If you really want to play, I will take you to Blazing Fire Canyon after the fair."
"Brother. Brother."
Wang Qi kept calling them brother and brother, while the waiter on the side had a very unhappy face. He felt a headache watching his father and Wang Qi, who was obviously younger than him, calling each other brothers at the dinner table.
