Chapter 41: The Lord of Linfeng City
In the past two days, the shopkeeper has secretly observed the two masters and apprentices, and looking at the clothes of the two masters and apprentices, there is no sign of any sect, more like a casual cultivator, who came here unintentionally. But this place is the realm of Shushan, and the general casual cultivation does not dare to touch the mildew of Shushan, but the one who is the master of the two looks fearless, so he can't think about it anymore. I don't know if it was sent by a rival sect in Shushan.
If you want to talk about the inn, it is the most well-informed. A few **** ago, I heard that a secret realm in the realm of Shushan not far from here was about to be opened, and I don't know if the master and apprentice came for the secret realm. However, if the two of them really came for the secret realm, then they were destined to be disappointed. He came to the inn that had been opened in Wind City for decades, but he clearly knew that the location of that secret realm was very secret, that is, the disciples of the Shushan Sect who needed to enter the trial had to be sent in by the elders of the sect, not to mention that people like their master and apprentice had just come here and didn't know anything about the terrain.
The shopkeeper over there was calculating the secret recipe for Bugui, and Bugui followed Feng Yin all the way back to the room. Feng Yin went out today to Kunlun's station here to inquire about the news. According to them, the ban on pills in Linfeng City was only recently enacted. Just as Feng Yin had guessed before, this ban on pills was not issued by the Shushan Sect in a unified manner, but by the new city lord of Linfeng City.
The new city lord of Linfeng City is a monk who thinks that his cultivation has reached the golden pill, and it is said that he is also an elite-level disciple in the Shushan sect. After the term of office as the city lord of Linfeng City expired, he sent back the letter of appointment and requested that the sect send another person to succeed him. It is said that an elite-level disciple like the current city lord of Linfeng City, the sect will not send him over to take on this task, just as Bu Gui guessed, the Shushan sect also feels that it is a bit overkill to put such a good seedling in Linfeng City to succeed the city lord. It's just that as soon as the appointment letter arrived in Shushan, he petitioned to come, and the people in the gate did not agree, the city lord of Linfeng City changed every five years, and it was located at the foot of the Shushan sect, there had never been any trouble, such a city was just sent to garrison a monk in the foundation building period in the past, he was a Jindan period monk, and the cultivation speed and understanding are relatively good, there is really no need to go there to sharpen. But in the end, he didn't know how to persuade the head of Shushan, and finally sent him to Linfeng City.
Along with him to Linfeng City, there was also a note issued by Shushan, which stated: From now on, all the affairs of Linfeng City will be under the jurisdiction of the new Linfeng City City Lord, and there is no need to report like Shushan. As soon as this move came out, the whole city was in an uproar. What does this mean, this means that in the future, Linfeng City can be completely independent of the Shushan sect and not under the jurisdiction of Shushan. In other words, although Linfeng City is still protected by Shu Mountain, it can do nothing like Shu Mountain, and if the city lord of Linfeng City wants to do something in the future, he will not be restricted by Shu Mountain. This is equivalent to the treatment of the prince of the fiefdom in the mortal world, no, it is even higher than that.
Not long after the city lord of Linfeng City took office, he issued a ban on pills, not only the alchemy furnace and alchemy in the city were prohibited from being sold, but even the medicinal materials used in alchemy were also prohibited. He even stated in the announcement that all monks who were resident in Linfeng City for cultivation were not allowed to take pills. If anyone violates the order, once discovered, they will be expelled from Linfeng City, and the Shushan Sect will also issue an expulsion order. Even those finished pills were destroyed in the city on the first day of the ban.
In view of this, the scattered cultivators in Linfeng City have left a lot since the promulgation of the ban on pills. Compared with the disciples of the sect, the scattered cultivation has few resources, and the speed of cultivation will be much slower, and at a certain stage, they will take pills to help them break through. For example, from the Qi refining period to the foundation building period, they will generally take the foundation building pill, so that the success rate of foundation building will increase by three percent. From the foundation building period to the Jindan stage, there will be Chengdan pills, and one Chengdan pill can increase the success rate by one percent. Although the success rate of Yicheng is very low, after taking the Chengdan pill, you can make yourself not regress after the failure of the Jindan stage, and after recovering for a period of time, you can hit the second Jindan. This is also the reason why Sanxiu is willing to spend spirit stones to buy pills. The cultivation of casual cultivation is not easy, if you lose your cultivation because of the impact of a golden pill, it will be a loss that cannot be made up for decades.
Moreover, for casual cultivation, it is the largest in the world, and the four seas are home. chose to live in Linfeng City for a long time, just because it is protected by Shu Mountain, and it is located at the foot of the Shu Mountain Sect. Now that the city lord of Linfeng City has been replaced, and such an order has been issued, it is obvious that no one is allowed to leave, and leaving is that the world is so big, there are other cities for cultivation. But it was different for the Shushan disciples who were resident in Linfeng City. For cultivators like them who don't have the opportunity to cultivate in the sect, they can't enjoy the treatment given by the sect, and the time and atmosphere of cultivation are not as good as in the sect, so the pill naturally becomes an indispensable thing on the path of cultivation. They were assigned by the sect, and their duty was to be responsible for the guarding of Linfeng City, and obey the arrangements and commands of the city lord, and now that the city lord had issued such an order, although they were dissatisfied, they did not dare to disobey.
As for the people living in the city of Linfeng, they didn't care who would sit in the position of the city lord. All they care about is being fed and clothed every day. In this way, the ban on pills was smoothly implemented in the city of Linfeng City without any hindrance.
Kunlun's resident personnel here did not care because they felt that this move was only an order from the city lord of Linfeng City and not issued by Shushan, so they did not pass on the news back to Kunlun. Today, Feng Yin went to the station to inquire about the news, and they were shocked to realize the seriousness of the problem, and sent a transmission note back to Kunlun in front of Feng Yin, presumably Kunlun would receive the news and respond in the afternoon.
Now, all Wind Groan and Bugui can do is wait. Although Feng Yin felt that it was strange, he was not an alchemist after all, and his cultivation speed and comprehension were also very good, and he did not need the assistance of pills, so the pills and him were actually not of much use, and such a forbidden pill naturally had no effect on him. The reason why he paid attention to this matter, to put it bluntly, was just because he felt that it was a bit boring to stay in Linfeng City and do nothing in the past few days before the secret realm opened, and he just had fun for himself.
