Extraordinary Cultivation Continent

Zhang Chaofan leisurely tasted the fragrant tea and refreshing fruit snacks, and chatted casually with the Bush family owner and others. In a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere, he skillfully guided the topic and gradually obtained the intelligence information he longed to know.

After a conversation, Zhang Chaofan roughly understood that Dongyuan City was quite close to Dongwei, only about 500 kilometers away. The boundary that divides Dongwei and Dongyuan areas is only a surging river with a width of about 800 meters, called Dongyuan Boundary River. On this mysterious river, there is an extremely powerful defensive restriction. Its power is so powerful that it is daunting and insurmountable for those who have not reached the Nascent Soul realm.

Therefore, from ancient times to the present, the Dongyuan people located on the east side of the river have been unable to break through the shackles of the Nascent Soul Realm precisely because of the influence of this restriction and the suppression of the realm caused by the incompleteness of Heavenly Dao. They are basically trapped in Dongyuan and cannot cross it. The boundary river reaches Dongwei. As a result, generations of Dongguan people could only live and thrive here.

On the other hand, if the people from the east of Zhongzhou on the other side have a higher cultivation level than the Nascent Soul realm, once they cross the Dongyuan Boundary River, their realm will be immediately forcibly suppressed and dropped back to the Nascent Soul realm. Since it is difficult to adapt to this unique battle mode of the Nascent Soul Realm in a short period of time, when there is a conflict with the monks in Dongyuan, the chance of falling here is extremely high. For this reason, although people from the east of Zhongzhou can freely travel between the two places separated by the boundary river of Dongyuan, they are usually unwilling to set foot in Dongyuan unless they have no choice. Over time, exchanges between the two places have naturally become quite rare.

After hearing the news, Zhang Chaofan couldn't help but feel an impulse in his heart. He wanted to stop chatting immediately and go straight to the mysterious boundary river to find out. However, he knew that he could not act so recklessly. After all, there might be unknown dangers and challenges hidden in it.

Although he was full of curiosity, Zhang Chaofan always remained calm and composed. He understood that in order to successfully cross the boundary river, he first needed to have a deeper understanding of the defensive restriction. Only by mastering its setting methods and tips can you ensure that nothing goes wrong when crossing.

Therefore, while Zhang Chaofan continued to talk with the Bush family owner and others, he secretly thought about how to obtain information about the defense restrictions. The two of them had a great conversation, and the topics ranged from the customs and customs of Dongyuan City to local eating habits and so on. Through communication, Zhang Chaofan learned that this city is located on a vast plain, with fertile land and abundant products.

People live and work in peace and contentment here, live a prosperous life, and can easily obtain all kinds of basic daily necessities. Perhaps it is precisely because of such superior environmental conditions that the residents here are not as enthusiastic about the pursuit of spiritual practice as in other places. According to statistics, the proportion of monks in Dongyuan City is less than 30% of the total population.

During the conversation with the head of the Bush family and others, Zhang Chaofan not only gained more knowledge, but also fully prepared for his next actions. He decided to suppress his inner excitement for the time being and wait for the right time to explore the boundary river and the secrets within it. At this moment, what he has to do is to continue to learn as much as possible about the situation in order to cope with the various difficulties and tests he may encounter soon.

The people who live in this place are a unique group of people, and their appearance is very different from that of the people in the southern mountains. Most of them have blond hair and blue eyes, and are obviously taller and stronger than the residents of the southern mountains. However, according to Bush and others, although people in the eastern region have advantages in terms of individual quality, in terms of overall strength, the southern mountainous areas are still superior. This is because in the southern mountainous area, almost everyone participates in the practice of cultivation, but due to differences in qualifications and talents, the final achievements vary.

However, through communication with the patriarch of the Bush family, Zhang Chaofan learned that the monks in Dongyuan have a unique feature. For Dongyuan people, they either do not get involved in the path of monasticism at all. Once they choose this path, their monastic talent cannot be underestimated. Usually, after about ten or eight years of practice, they are able to reach the ceiling of Dongyuan practice. In other words, as long as a Dongyuan person embarks on the path of cultivation, after this period of hard work, he is expected to become a cultivator at the peak of the Nascent Soul Realm. Therefore, there are more monks in the Yuanying Realm in Dongyuan, and there are many monks who have reached the peak of the Yuanying Realm.

In terms of the quality of practitioners alone, Dongyuan people are the best, far better than Nanshan people, Xihai people and Beize people. Among the many cultivators in Dongyuan, a high proportion of them can reach the pinnacle of local cultivation. If judged by this standard, the East Principle is undoubtedly the most powerful place on the four sides.

After nearly two hours of long waiting, the dinner was finally ready. The food customs here are very different from Zhang Chaofan's hometown. The special delicacies are not placed on the table for everyone to share, but are distributed equally in front of everyone in advance. The common dining utensils are also chopsticks, replaced by metal knives and forks. As for the drinks, they are very different from the high-alcohol liquor popular in Nanshan area, but are colorful and low in alcohol content.

The scale and level of tonight's banquet can be described as extraordinary in the local area. The tableware in front of everyone is filled with exquisite food and wine, which is mouth-watering. The most eye-catching ones are undoubtedly the two main foods: one is the meat of a marine spirit animal called "Three Striped Fish". It is placed completely in a delicate little dish, showing its original raw food state. There is also a unique seasoning on the side that exudes a pungent and spicy aroma.

The other dish is a carefully fried food - plump and tender foie gras. After being moderately fried and roasted, the surface of the foie gras becomes golden and crispy, but the interior remains tender and juicy, exuding an irresistibly attractive aroma.

In addition, there is a huge glass goblet placed in the center of the dining table, which is filled with two-thirds of the amber wine liquid. It is crystal clear and attractive in luster, as if waving to people to have a taste.

At first glance, Zhang Chaofan couldn't help but feel a sense of familiarity in his heart when he took a look at the dishes. Isn't this exactly the style of Western food he saw on his home planet back then? The atmosphere where elegance and sophistication, luxury and taste intertwined made him feel more at home.

Zhang Chaofan kept thinking about this question in his mind: Did the Westerners on the earth come to Dongyuan Continent through the time and space tunnel, and multiplied here and became the ancestors of the Dongyuan people; or did the Dongyuan people pass through some mysterious process? What about the ancestors whose power traveled to the earth and eventually evolved into Westerners?

What surprised him was that whether they were Dongyuan people or Westerners on Earth, they were very similar in appearance - most of them had blond hair and blue eyes. Not only that, even the eating habits of people in the two places are exactly the same! Faced with this series of coincidences and mysteries before him, Zhang Chaofan was thinking secretly, but he couldn't express it.

After all, at this moment, he is the only one who knows the truth. If his sworn brother Fang Hongjian had been present, the situation might have been completely different. Because with Fang Hongjian's intelligence, he must have had the same questions and thoughts about these phenomena.

When Zhang Chaofan was on Earth, he was often exposed to Western food culture due to work or social reasons, and he had some understanding of it. Despite this, when he was in this unfamiliar environment and faced with a completely different cultural background, he did not start eating rashly, but chose to wait for the host to demonstrate.

Seeing that everything had been arranged, the head of the Bush family slowly stood up. He smiled and began to make a series of seemingly innocuous but polite remarks. The main meaning of these words is nothing more than: as a representative of Dongyuan City, he expressed his most sincere and warm welcome to Zhang Chaofan and his companions; at the same time, he hoped that they could enjoy a pleasant time during their stay in this city; and he told them that if If Zhang Chaofan and others have any needs or difficulties, they can contact him at any time and he will do his best to provide help to meet everyone's requirements and so on. After some pleasantries, the host did not forget to send his best wishes to all the guests present and everyone attending the dinner, wishing everyone a pleasant and unforgettable dining experience on this wonderful night.
