The Outer City of Black Cloud was largely similar to Tuyue's, also divided into a fringe district, a town district, and outlying farmland.
The only difference was the proportion.
There was very little farmland here. The streets were constantly filled with a steady stream of transport oxcarts, loaded with various kinds of cut and processed salt-baked, air-dried meats.
After Lin Hui familiarized himself with the local ways through his father's connections, he purchased a large courtyard estate from a housing agent.
As the Daoist Master of Qingfeng Dao, he had brought a considerable amount of wealth with him. He had three hundred vials of Feather Blood alone, and purchasing the estate only cost him two vials plus a few gold notes.
Even so, the price was far higher than in Tuyue.
But the estate was massive, large enough to comfortably house all one hundred-plus of his people.
