Chapter 144: Zhongyuan Town
Gu Xiaowu and the three of them didn't expect that the road would be safe and sound, and they were robbed by two disciples of Yuanjimen when they were about to arrive at Yuanjimen, even though the three of them had now come to Xiayuancheng, the largest mortal city set up by Yuanjimen, they still looked shocked.
It's funny to say, when the three of them faced the siege of hundreds of demon wolves in the Broken Sword Valley, they didn't feel relaxed when they faced the two cave-building Terran cultivators, no matter how strong the cultivators were, they were even more dangerous than a group of demon wolves in their hearts.
After this incident, the three of them were originally calm and their hearts were raised again, and they had already encountered two cave-building blockers before they participated in the treasure exploration of the Five Spirit Realm, if they really got inside, wouldn't they have to compete with more high-level beings for treasures? The originally planned plan may have to be considered anew, and it seems that before going to Yuanjimen, they will have to re-collect intelligence information about the experience of the Five Spirits Realm and prepare a few means of self-defense and escape again.
In order to escape in front of the cave building master, Yun Lan deliberately acquired ten middle-level talismans used to trap the enemy, which cost almost all of her sisters' net worth, and now she consumed one before entering the secret realm, and she couldn't help but feel that there were still too few means to use it, and she became a little anxious for a while.
Xia Yuan City is a Terran stronghold established by Yuanjimen in the thinnest place of the Yuanji Mountain Range, and it is a mortal stronghold that provides manpower support for Yuanjimen alone. Xiao Wu looked over the edge of Xia Yuan City and found that this Xia Yuan City was twice as large as the six county cities combined, almost filling up the large plains outside the Yuanji Mountain Range, not to mention three million people, and couldn't help but sigh to the Yun sisters for a while This city is so huge.
As a result, Yun Lan just smiled and nodded, but Yun Zi couldn't help but show Gu Xiaowu that she was well-informed again.
It is said that monks are also human beings, not born without eating, drinking, old and immortal, they all have a life limit, the general qi induction period is only about fifty years longer than mortals, and the foundation period is one or two hundred years longer, and when it comes to building caves, it can have a life span of four or five hundred years, and then it will increase exponentially, but there is still a certain number of lifespans, and only when it comes to the legendary Guiyuan fit can it be recognized by all the spirits of this heaven and earth with the capital of immortality. Therefore, those monks who have not yet been able to get rid of life and death will also marry wives and have children to pass on their ancestors, and their descendants who can cultivate will also enter the realm of cultivating immortals, and those ordinary descendants will continue to expand under the protection of monks and become the most indispensable foundation of monks. This Yuancheng is the mortal city formed by the Yuanjimen from the beginning of the sect disciples to multiply, the establishment of the surrounding six counties is said to be earlier than the sect, but the surrounding environmental conditions are not good, and the ability to protect mortals is also limited, so the population is not much, according to the historical records of Zhengyang City, there are no mortal villages and towns around it more than 6,000 years ago, and the specific reason is only vague and not explained.
Yun Zi also mentioned that not all sects can reproduce such a big mortal city, and among the three sects she knows, only Yuanjimen has such a large mortal city next to it, Jiuyin Valley is close to Fenggu City, so the population of Fenggu City is one million, and Fengyun Temple is close to Guanyun City, so there is no need to build a mortal city alone.
In the end, Yun Zi couldn't help but sigh, if you really want to see a bigger city, you have to go to the hinterland of the Tianhe Dynasty, where the number of mortals is more than ten times that of here, and it is said that the population of the capital of that dynasty is more than 10 million. It's a pity that her cultivation is now low, and she doesn't have the ability and courage to travel far alone.
Xiao Wu couldn't help but smile and said: "You are only a few years old now, and you have cultivated to the foundation expansion period, and as long as you break through the cave building again, you will suddenly have four or five hundred years of longevity, and it is just a trivial matter to travel anywhere." ”
"It's so easy to say, do you know how many years it takes to go from building a cave to cultivating to condensing the spirit? If a casual cultivator like me wants to cultivate to the condensing spirit, it will have to accumulate at least three or four hundred years before he has a chance to break through, this is also one of the reasons why we want to participate in this exploration of the Five Spirits Realm, as long as we can come back alive, we can enter a sect and become an outer disciple, and if we try hard, we may be able to become an inner disciple, so that we can really have a chance to advance to a higher level, do you understand?" Yun Zi was a little annoyed, this guy didn't understand anything and thought that his cultivation was very easy.
"Then why is the price of this treading plate not high at the auction, according to your meaning, there should be many people who will fight desperately for this line of life. Gu Xiaowu didn't pay attention to Yun Zi's round face, and asked another question that he always couldn't understand.
"That's because most people don't know that this thing appears at the auction, and there aren't many spirit stones in their hands, while others want to participate in the forbidden place that Fengyun Temple will open in three years, it is a small secret realm that only allows Tuoji to enter, and the danger is a little smaller. Yun Zi rubbed her sour eyes and replied.
"The danger is a little smaller, how can there not be a three-percent danger in the Five Spirit Realm, right?" Gu Xiaowu was completely blinded this time, and he really didn't know about the forbidden places that other sects opened every three years, didn't hearing this mean that the two sisters had chosen the most dangerous secret realm and were ready to pull themselves to death?
"What do you know? I didn't make it clear just now, every time I go back to the forbidden land, I have to hand over 300,000 spirit stones or resources of equivalent value, if I want to join the sect, I must hand over a certain amount of harvest resources, three years ago, my sister participated in a forbidden land treasure exploration opened by Jiuyin Valley, but although she came back alive, she didn't have enough resources in her hand to hand in and missed an opportunity. Yun Zi lowered his head and clasped his fingers, but there were no stains on the white and tender thin fingers.
Xiao Wu saw that Yun Zi looked suddenly depressed and didn't ask anything else, but thought about what preparations he needed to make next, judging by the degree of the blow he had just endured with the flying nail magic weapon, in the face of the ordinary attack in the acupuncture period, the general mid-level defensive magic weapon could still be done, and the imitation beamsplitter in his arms could still be used, but it was better to buy another one, after all, the more means to save his life, the better.
It didn't take long for the three of them to arrive at their destination this time, Zhongyuan Town, which is almost the same as the inner city of the county town, it is a place to absorb and cultivate the disciples with spiritual acupoints in Xia Yuan City, and it is also an important hub for Yuanjimen to communicate and trade with other sect forces in the outside world, many of the deacons and disciples of Yuanjimen are stationed here, and many shops in it are supported by the forces within the gate, and many forces with a little capital around will come here to exchange resources, in Xiao Wu's opinion, this is the real Monk's Workshop City, and he saw three large auction houses after just a short walk inside, not to mention those shops that refine and make pills。
