Chapter 58: Enter the Immortal City
Half a year later, Luo Ningxin finally went through ups and downs and came to Huayang City, an immortal city under the jurisdiction of Huayang Sect. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
When he came to Huayang City, Luo Ningxin understood why this was a "fairy city".
First of all, this Huayang City is within the range of the spiritual veins of the Huayang Mountain Range, and there is spiritual energy in Huayang City. A faint aura shrouded the sky above Huayang City, which naturally gave Huayang City a sense of otherworldliness and immortal etherealism.
Second, there are countless monks in this Huayang City, not only are there many immortal cultivators wearing the uniform costumes of the Huayang Sect, but there are also many scattered cultivators. Huayang City has a large-scale Xiuxianfang City, and countless scattered cultivators have settled here. These scattered cultivators are different from Dongyinfang City, all of them are disciples in the Qi refining period. In Huayang City, there are not a few masters in the foundation building period wearing various costumes. Even Luo Ningxin could see some masters who exuded a faint spiritual pressure from top to bottom, and couldn't see the realm at all!
Third, this Huayang City is mixed with immortals. In the past, most of the gathering places of immortal cultivators that Luo Ningxin passed by used phantom arrays to isolate themselves from the secular world to prevent mortals from entering by mistake. The city is divided into two parts: north and south. The north of the city is inhabited by mortals, and the south of the city is inhabited by immortal cultivators.
There is a high wall between the south and north of Huayang City. Mortals can enter and exit after registering, paying a certain fee, and receiving tokens. Most of them work as men or goods in the immortal cultivators' markets, and their status is quite low.
When Luo Ningxin entered the southern city, four monks dressed in uniform white robes with a round of golden sun embroidered on their necklines blocked her way.
These four monks looked like they were probably between twenty and forty years old, and all of them were cultivators of the tenth and eleventh levels of the Qi refining period. They are all tall and upright, which makes people feel a sense of awe-inspiring respect as soon as they come into contact.
"Please show this fellow Daoist token!" said a fair-looking monk who looked to be in his twenties and said to Luo Ningxin.
"When I first came to Huayang City, there was no token. Luo Ning said cautiously.
The monk's face remained unchanged, and he said, "Fellow Daoists don't know, in order to maintain order and safety in Huayang City, everyone who enters and leaves Huayang City must receive identity tokens. Please go to the registration office to register your information and receive your token. β
Luo Ningxin had learned a little about the bookshelf in "Cultivating the Immortal World of the Jin Kingdom" in the past, and the "immortal cities" controlled by the big sects and big forces in the Jin Kingdom were quite strictly managed. Before entering the city, each monk must register his name, cultivation, and origin, and have a portrait printed on him. When monks stay in inns and rent caves, they must hold a token, otherwise they will not be allowed to register for accommodation.
Since Luo Ningxin wanted to participate in the Huayang Sect's entry competition, he naturally had to abide by the rules of the Huayang Sect, so Luo Ningxin followed the monk into a very simple Taoist temple next to him.
The temple is built on a high wall, with no courtyard and only three houses. In the middle of the room, the furnishings are very simple, only a row of bookshelves, a table, a chair, and a futon. An old man in a white robe with blue trim and who looked to be in his sixties was sitting on a futon, his eyes slightly closed, as if he was recuperating.
Luo Ning felt the aura fluctuations on the old man's body, and his heart sank: This old man turned out to be a master in the foundation building period!
The monk who had attracted Luo Ning's heart said respectfully to the old man: "Uncle Liu, this Taoist friend came to Huayang City for the first time and came here to register. β
"Well, you can go back!" the old man said lightly, opened his eyes, and stood up from the futon.
"Hello senior!" Luo Ning greeted the old man cautiously.
The old man glanced up at Luo Ningxin, then walked behind the table and sat down. He took out a token-shaped jade slip from his storage bag and asked Luo Ningxin, "What is your name, how is your cultivation, and what is your teacher?"
Luo Ningxin considered that he was going to participate in the Huayang Sect's entry competition. If the cultivation recorded in the token does not match the cultivation she revealed during the competition, it may affect Huayang Sect's opinion of her. So Luo Ningxin didn't hide it, so he said to the old man: "Junior Luo Ningxin, the eleventh layer of the Qi refining period, is a casual cultivator. β
After hearing this, the old man pasted the token-shaped jade slip on his forehead, and inscribed the basic information of Luo Ning's heart inside. Then the old man said: "Don't move, imprint your appearance." With that, he punched a spell into the token jade slip, and then raised it in front of Luo Ningxin.
Luo Ningxin saw a white light flash on the token jade slip, enveloping his upper body. But fortunately, I didn't feel any discomfort, and the white light quickly disappeared.
After doing this, the old man pointed to a sign on the wall and said, "The cost of the token is two spirit stones. In addition, how long do you have to live in the city? Within three days of residence, you need to pay a management fee for one spirit stone. If it is more than three days, you need to pay a management fee of ten spirit stones for a period of one year. After the expiration date, the token will be invalidated and must be renewed here. β
These expenses are clearly written on the sign at the entrance of the high wall of the southern city. Now there is also a toll sign in the old man's house. Luo Ningxin took out twelve spirit stones and presented them, and said, "The younger generation will live for a year. β
The old man took the spirit stone and used his divine sense to imprint the period of residence into the token. Finally, the old man took out a jade slip from the storage bag and copied the information on the token to the jade slip.
The old man handed the token to Luo Ningxin and said, "This token must be properly collected." If it is lost, it needs to be remade here immediately, and the cost cannot be recovered! No one is allowed to fly under the Yudan period in the city, and no one is allowed to fight in the market. If you want to understand grievances with others, you can go to the Dharma Fighting Table to solve them. These tokens are all there, you read them carefully!"
"Thank you seniors, juniors remember!" Luo Ningxin said.
During the whole process, the old man looked serious and did not smile. But Luo Ningxin didn't have a bad impression of the old man, but felt that such an old man was very famous for the prestige and reputation of the seven major sects of the Huayang Sect.
Luo Ningxin walked out of the Taoist temple and entered the southern city with a token in his hand. Entering the southern city, a more intense aura suddenly came to the face, which made people extremely useful.
Because it was the territory of the big sect, Luo Ning didn't dare to make a mistake. She first immersed her divine sense in the token, and wanted to carefully read the rules and regulations of Huayang City before deciding on the next step.
Contrary to Luo Ningxin's expectations, the information in this token was very rich. There are not only several prohibitions that monks must follow when entering the southern city of Huayang City, but also a detailed map of the southern city of Huayang City. The map clearly marked some places that were useful to foreign monks, such as the location of all the inns, the location of the Doufa platform, the location of the deacon of the Huayang Sect, the location of several shops directly operated by the Huayang Sect, and so on.
ββββββββThank you for your support, I will work hard. But the first time I wrote the Xiuxian text, some of the words were really difficult to write. Besides, I love to change my texts, and I always keep changing and changing, and as a result, my hand speed is so slow that I can't stand it. So, forgive me!
