What was expected to be half a month actually took twenty full days to travel from Wangnan City to Buxu City in the southern and central parts of Great Li.

This was because several new checkpoints had been set up on the official road during this time, significantly increasing the crossing time. Fortunately, back in Wangbei City of Little South Continent, Xianchan's identity was already made; otherwise, doing it again in Great Li would definitely be quite troublesome.

As the largest city in the southern and central parts of the Great Li Dynasty, and as a transportation hub connecting the southern, eastern, central, and western regions, Buxu City is vast, whether in terms of population, geographic scale, or the livelihood economy and resources for cultivators.

Without a doubt, it is a bustling, lively large city, crucial to the entire southern and central area of Great Li.

In Fan Wubing's eyes, the "energy" of this city is extremely grand, roaring skyward, clearly one of the important cities guarding the national destiny of Great Li.

After completing the tedious procedure to pass through, they finally entered Buxu City completely.

The overall structure of Buxu City is very grand. The city's central axis is a wide avenue about twenty zhang, running through from south to north, with no other buildings in between, only a large square directly in the center of the city. Similarly, there are also vast avenues running through from east to west, making Buxu City look like a giant "ten" when viewed from above, with various buildings spread outside the "ten".

From a land utilization perspective, this type of city structure is not very reasonable.

But as a crucial place guarding the national destiny, Buxu City is more than just a "city".

Fan Wubing had studied Buxu City earlier. If Great Li were compared to a giant dragon coiled on the earth, then Buxu City's location would roughly correspond to the dragon's tail, echoing the head at the Imperial Capital Celestial Balance Upper City.

This "ten" structure was also designed for better "ventilation", where "energy" naturally refers to the "dynastic dragon energy".

After returning the rented Red Flame Dragon Horse, Fan Wubing immediately found a brokerage firm and rented a residence in the Gen District Green Screen Workshop, southwest of the "ten" in Buxu City.

Estimating that he would stay in Buxu City for a while, he chose not to lodge at an inn but rented a monthly-paid home with complete facilities, which was much more convenient.

The broker handed over the contract stamped with the official seal to Fan Wubing, smiling, "Guest, the rental contract is in triplicate; one copy each for you, the homeowner, and our agency. Please check if there are any issues."

Fan Wubing glanced through it and nodded, "No problem."

"Then your entrustment with our agency is concluded. Enjoy your stay, guest."

The broker left.

Fan Wubing tossed the rental contract to Fu Manman, "Take care of it."

Fu Manman pouted, folding the document as she said, "What do you take me for?"

She wasn't annoyed, but rather quite happy.

She smiled and looked around, saying: "We'll be living in a new home now..."

The house is a good one, not large but with two yards, a pavilion, and a rockery, along with a man-made creek. The backyard also has a small garden, with fragrant flowers.

The area is also a good one. Green Screen Workshop is considered a high-end neighborhood in Buxu City, close enough to the main road while still being quite peaceful. Most residents here are either rich or noble.

The rent naturally isn't cheap, fifty middle-grade Spirit Stones per month.

But there are benefits to being expensive. The good environment comes with good facilities. The entire Green Screen Workshop is covered by a massive array, providing functions of gathering energy, calming the mind, clearing the mind, and enhancing the body. Simply put, living here offers faster cultivation, improved comprehension, better mood, and better health.

However, there are other reasons why Fan Wubing chose to live here.

After traveling nonstop for twenty days, exhausted and weary,

The three rested for half a day, and by evening, Fan Wubing cooked a pot of immortal food. After a delightful meal, he went out for a walk.

Buxu City's design is an Eight Diagrams, and the regions are similarly named.

The four city gates are called Dui Gate, Kan Gate, Zhen Gate, and Li Gate.

The four districts are Qian District, Kun District, Gen District, and Xun District.

The Green Screen Workshop where Fan Wubing and his companions live is in Gen District.

Buxu City is so large that even walking nonstop for a day wouldn't cover Gen District alone.

"By the way, why Buxu City? Renting a place means we're staying for a while, right?" Fu Manman couldn't help but be enchanted by the peaceful and joyful atmosphere while walking down the brightly lit, bustling streets.

Previously, apart from the time on the flying ship, they were mostly on the road, changing locations daily, having no fixed abode, settling wherever they ended up, making do with the sky as a blanket and the earth as a mat.

Now, settling down brought a sense of security, yet also a hint of surrealness.

Fan Wubing said, "Buxu City is a great place. The Nocturnal City of Great Li, bustling and lively, is a dreamland for many. In Great Li, except for the Imperial Capital Celestial Balance Upper City, Buxu City is the best. But Celestial Balance Upper City, after all, is the capital, and in many respects, it's not as free."

Fu Manman nodded. As a princess of a country, she understood this reasoning.

"How long will we stay?"

"It's hard to say."

"Hmm... What you really want is to go to the Sea of Eternal Life, right?"

The Sea of Eternal Life is still far from here, located at the northernmost part of Changsheng Continent. Great Li is in the south, with many mountains and rivers to cross in between; it's not easy to traverse.

The journey must be taken step by step.

Fan Wubing also knew that with their current strength, they were far from being able to challenge that majestic sea.
