Chapter 41: Inside the City
Xiao Ling is the qualification of the three spiritual roots of earth, wood and fire, but the fire spirit root is a rare warm fire spiritual root, and it is the qualification for practicing alchemy.
Originally, her family planned to keep her in the family to cultivate, and in terms of the fact that their family was a big family affiliated with the Taiyuan Sect and had the Yuanying Cultivator in charge, they had this strength.
However, Xiao Ling was dissatisfied with the suspicion of several well-qualified descendants in the family, and took advantage of the opportunity of the Taiyuan Sect to come to this apprenticeship ceremony, and decided to worship the Taiyuan Sect.
Her direct upbringing elders are the cultivation of the Jindan period, and they are both pampered and loved by her. opened her eyes and closed her eyes to secretly escape from the family, but secretly sent a message to the elder she called the second uncle who was traveling abroad to escort her to Yanyuan City.
The elder who she called her second uncle couldn't blatantly leave traces in the family, so she didn't accompany her to Yanyuan City to participate in the Yanyuan Apprenticeship Ceremony.
Of course, this is only one reason, and on the other hand, it is because of the safety and security in Yanyuan City.
Yanyuan City, at the foot of the mountain range in the area where the Taiyuan Sect is located in the Yanyuan Mountains, is under the jurisdiction of the Taiyuan Sect, and can be said to be a trading mall directly under the Taiyuan Sect.
The management system in the city is detailed and strict, and all kinds of activities are carried out in an orderly manner, and there are often patrols by Jindan monks, and the escort team is all monks above the foundation.
It is forbidden to fight, to kill, to seek moneyγγγγγγ
In short, everything that is out of order is prohibited.
If it is violated, I heard that the consequences are serious!
The punishment methods of the Taiyuan Sect are very cruel, and the methods of the monks of the Taiyuan Sect to find out the true traces of what happened are too clever!
In short, don't be lucky, you have to behave in Yanyuan City!
This is simply a paradise for low-level monks like Xiao Jiu, and the city is also peaceful.
But
Xiao Jiu thought of the entrance fee of the 10,000 lower-grade spirit stones, which was not something that idle Qi Refining Period cultivators could afford, and that threshold directly blocked the way for most Qi Refining Stage cultivators to enter the city. Not to mention that even after entering the city, the consumption inside is not affordable for ordinary people.
I heard that the entrance fee to the city is also different for monks of different cultivation levels, and the higher the cultivation level, the higher the entrance fee will be!
This also caused a strange phenomenon that the cultivation structure of the monks in Yanyuan City was different from the ordinary.
Although the majority of Qi Refining Stage cultivators still exist, most of the Qi Refining Stage cultivators in the city are cultivated to the ninth level of Qi Refining, and their faces are middle-aged or old.
I heard that it was an outer disciple who had no hope of building a foundation in the Taiyuan Sect and was assigned to work in the city. They can usually be seen serving customers in various stores and trading places.
Usually you can see it on the street, but most of them are monks who build foundations, and there are also occasional Jindan monks.
These made Xiao Jiu sigh!
As for Xiao Ling, she had come with the elders of the family once before, to celebrate that a clan brother in the family had become a disciple of the Great Elder of the Taiyuan Sect.
That clan brother also belonged to their branch, so she had the opportunity to follow the elders who raised her to see and learn.
Her familiarity with Yanyuan City is convenient for Xiao Jiu, who doesn't know anything about Yanyuan City.
Xiao Jiu followed her to live in the inn, and followed her to Yanyuan City for a few days, taking advantage of the fact that there were still two months before the Yanyuan Apprenticeship Ceremony, and most of the monks who were going to participate in the meeting had not yet arrived, after discussing with Xiao Ling, he quickly rented this small courtyard, so that he had a comfortable living environment.
This point was praised by Xiao Ling from time to time, especially after seeing the grievances of many newly arrived monks who wanted to live in a decent inn, and came back with a sweet mouth!
"That's also the case, don't be discouraged, although you are a third-auxiliary spiritual root, you are not the same as me, you cultivated to the fourth level of qi refining before the age of twenty, and you are stronger than many monks with dual spiritual roots!" When he talked about the "Twin Spirit Roots", he also made a hateful expression, and it seemed that he was bullied by the Twin Spirit Root monks in the family.
"Besides, there are seven sects that will come to recruit disciples at that time, and the other six sects have picked the fat and thin of the disciples who came to visit the meeting because the Taiyuan Sect did not participate. This time, with the participation of the Taiyuan Sect, the disciples with the best qualifications were all picked by the Taiyuan Sect, and they were only the tallest and shortest. So, you still have a chance. β
"By the way, we will start to get the number plate tomorrow, you can go with me to see the venue!"
said that he didn't wait for Xiao Jiu to agree, and pulled Xiao Jiu to walk outside the courtyard gate.
The buildings of Yanyuan City are full of majestic atmosphere, and the architectural lines made of huge rocks are simple and rough!
Every time Xiao Jiu walked on the street, he had a feeling of being shocked.
However, because there was still a sword hanging over her head to kill the disciples of Taiyuan Sect, she had not come out for the rest of the past two months, except for the first few days when she followed Xiao Ling around the streets and alleys under pressure, on the one hand to understand the environment, and on the other hand to secretly check whether there was any trace of Li Shang.
Spend all your time practicing and practicing spells!
I think back to the scene in Yanbianfang City at that time. On the same day, I had seen the disciples of the Taiyuan Sect in the Qi refining period with the two children of the An family, and there were too many monks chasing her and Li Shang to the top of the mountain! Any one of them can print their faces in the jade slips!
And now she's running to the enemy's base campβ
I don't know when this will be revealed!
Things have come to this point, and with her current cultivation, there is no better place to go, so she has no choice but to converge a little or converge.
What worries her is that Li Shang doesn't know where he was teleported, and now there is no trace of himγγγγγγ
"Xiao Jiu, I heard the ancestors of the clan say that the history of this Yanyuan City is very old, at least it can be traced back to 10,000 years ago!" Xiao Ling was admiring the surrounding buildings while chatting with Xiao Jiu.
Xiao Jiu also replied casually: "Really? No wonder I think there is an uninhibited meaning in this solemnity, it seems that the wisdom of the ancients is really extraordinary! β
Xiao Ling seemed to be interested, and replied to Xiao Jiu in a slightly raised voice: "Of course!" I heard that the cultivation realm was prosperous 10,000 years ago, far from being comparable to today. It's just that I don't understand, why those ancient powerful people used such precious stones, but built the city on the east side of the Yanyuan Mountain Range, and the aura in the east is obviously not as strong as in the west? β
The large amount of stone used to build this city is said to be precious stone, with extraordinary hardness and toughness, not only hard and wear-resistant, strong defense, but also can be insulated from the spiritual snooping of monks. Nowadays, such stone is hard to find.
The Yanyuan Mountain Range spans the north and south, and Yanyuan City is located at the foot of the eastern side of the mountain range, and the concentration of spiritual energy here is much higher than that of Yanbian. But in Xiao Ling's mouth, it is much worse than the west side of the mountain range.
Xiao Ling's family is on a branch west of the Yanyuan Mountains, and she definitely has more say in it.
In fact, what Xiao Jiu doesn't understand is that Yanyuan City was built by the ancestors of the ancients in the east of the mountain range, and there may be some considerations in it that they don't know why, but the Yanyuan Apprenticeship Ceremony is organized by the current sect, why not choose the location of the mountain range where the aura of talents gathers, but to seek the near and far, so that the vast majority of the talents follow the elders over the Yanyuan Mountain Range and arrive at Yanyuan City!
You must know that in addition to the area occupied by the sect and the Xiuzhen family in the Yanyuan Mountain Range, the other vast forest areas are not very peaceful, and all kinds of demon beasts of different levels are entrenched in the middle, and if you are not careful, you will die in the mouth of the demon beasts.
This is also the reason why Xiao Ling complained, it seems that he should have suffered on the way.
"There may be some sect considerations in this! Let's first take a look at the location and layout of the apprenticeship ceremony! Xiao Jiu replied to Xiao Ling's words while observing the monks coming and going on the street.
The teenage ones that could be seen on the street, and there were obviously many more young monks who had cultivated above the fourth level of Qi refining than they had been two months ago.
Xiao Jiu and Xiao Ling came to the venue where the apprenticeship ceremony was held.
Originally a huge trading market, it has been temporarily converted into a place for the Take-in Ceremony, which is surrounded by a wall.
They couldn't go in either, they just looked outside at the signs on the wall. The notices are made of special materials, which are neat and clear. It is written the process, rules, and matters to be paid attention to in the Acceptance Ceremony.
The ceremony lasted for a month, the first ten days were the time for the young talents who came to the meeting to receive the number plates, and the last twenty days were the time when the sects really selected the disciples according to the order of the number plates.
In other words, if you want the dust to fall early, you have to get the number plate early!
