With the Dan Fang in hand, Zhang Zhixuan naturally wanted to improve his alchemy.

Luo Ziyan has been in Qinglihai all these years, and the elixirs above the fourth order of Qingxuanzong are all refined by Zhang Zhixuan, and his alchemy is still making slow progress.

Although the Qingxuanzong Elixir Garden had planted more than twenty fifth-order elixirs, only seven or eight of them were able to leave their own alchemy.

These seven or eight fifth-order elixirs that can be used in medicine will have to wait many years for them to mature.

Although there are a lot of fifth-order elixirs planted in the underground cave of Lingjing Mountain, the year is not enough, and the earliest batch of mature ones will have to wait for about a hundred years.

However, the fourth-order elixir has matured dozens of strains in recent years.

Hanyan was already at the point of breakthrough, and he happened to stay in the underground cave of Lingjing Mountain to watch his family.

Zhang Zhixuan first exchanged 200,000 spirit stones from Qingxuanzong with good deeds, and then rushed to Dazhou with Qingchan again.

This time their destination was Shenmu Canyon.

The Shenmu Sect can only be regarded as a small and medium-sized sect in the Great Zhou, and there are also Yuan Infant Stage masters in the door.

The foundation of the Shenmu Sect is a sixth-order high-grade spirit wood, this spirit wood can ripen a batch of immortal fruits every hundred years, and the immortal fruits can not only strengthen the vitality, but also be used for alchemy and medicine.

Relying on this sacred tree, the monks of this sect are very good at cultivating elixirs and also have good alchemy.

The Fang Market outside the Shenmu Sect was the largest elixir exchange market in the Great Zhou, and even sixth-order elixirs were sold every ten years.

This is Zhang Zhixuan's second trip to Da Zhou, and the two are familiar with the road.

While traveling to see the customs of the Great Zhou, they rushed to the Shenmu Canyon.

The Shenmu Sect is located in a large canyon, and although it is a valley, the area is huge.

The canyon is six thousand miles long, and the width is also about several hundred miles, and it is rumored that it was cut open by a sword of the ancient great supernatural powers.

The canyon is densely packed with countless spiritual fields, which according to Zhang Zhixuan's estimation are at least more than one million acres.

The two sides of the canyon are towering into the clouds, and the cliffs are more than 10,000 zhang high, even if they don't use the formation prohibition, the Purple Mansion Stage monks don't dare to enter the Gangyun, and they can't fly across at all.

In order to prevent the invasion of foreign enemies, the monks of the Shenmu Sect arranged forbidden flight formations over both sides of the canyon, and the entire canyon was protected by defensive formations.

Except for the entrance passages at both ends of the canyon, the low-ranking monks simply did not have the ability to enter the canyon.

This kind of environment is easy to defend and difficult to attack, which is very suitable for monks to hold on for a long time.

In the entire Shenmu Canyon, the number of monks exceeded one million.

Relying on these million cultivators, even if the ten major sects of the Great Zhou went all out, it would be difficult to break through the Shenmu Sect's mountain protection array.

Occupying this easy-to-defend and difficult-to-attack spiritual vein, the Shenmu Sect has been passed down for thirteen generations in the Great Zhou, and each generation has a Yuanying master, and the years of inheritance have been tens of thousands of years, longer than several giant sects in the Great Zhou.

There are thousands of towns outside the canyon, all of which are the territory of the Shenmu Sect.

Relying on the hundreds of millions of people on the periphery, every year it continuously adds fresh blood to the Shenmu Sect and brings enough low-level cultivators.

The millions of monks in the Shenmu Canyon basically rely on cultivating elixirs for a living.

Fang City, controlled by the Shenmu Sect, was built at the entrance to the canyon.

The entrance to the canyon is relatively narrow, only seventy or eighty miles wide.

At the entrance of the canyon, the Shenmu Sect built a majestic city of monks to block the entrance to the canyon.

There is a sixth-order formation in the city, and there are five Jindan monks stationed in it for many years, plus a large number of low-level monks, even if the two Yuanying monks join forces, it will be difficult to break through the protection of the formation.

This city is called Shengyuan City, the population in the city is more than 100,000, there is not a single mortal in the city, the city has cultivated a fifth-order high-grade spiritual vein, and the aura is very sufficient.

"The strength of the sect is weak, and there are more than a dozen large and small markets inside. These markets are far away from each other, and it is inconvenient to travel with each other, so it seems that they should learn from the Shenmu Sect, and they should not diversify their investments and develop one place as much as possible.

However, whether it is Qingyang Mountain or Lingjing Mountain, the conditions are far inferior to Shenmu Canyon. The Lingshan veins outside also need to be guarded by people, and without outside resources, even if you want to develop the mountain gate, it is far from enough in terms of material resources. ”

Looking at this bustling city of monks, Zhang Zhixuan had a hint of envy in his eyes.

Zhang Zhixuan's goal is a high-level spirit grass, and he will not hide his head and show his tail.

The fifth-order elixir was also a relatively precious resource in the Shenmu Sect, and it was absolutely impossible to sell it to people with ill intentions.

Therefore, he and Qingchan did not hide their cultivation, and came to the city gate openly.

Seeing Zhang Zhixuan and the others coming slowly and unhurriedly, the foundation building monk guarding the city gate immediately knew that the person who came was a very powerful master.

The man did not hesitate and immediately informed their chief.

In an instant, a spiritual light appeared at the gate of the city, and when he saw Zhang Zhixuan and the others, this person's face changed, and he saluted respectfully: "Meet the two seniors, see that the two seniors are a little angry, it should be the first time to come to our Shenmu Canyon." As the landlord of this place, the two seniors need my help in the area. ”

"I came to Shenmu Canyon, naturally for high-grade elixir. However, we are from a small sect in the Southern Wilderness, and we don't understand the rules of your sect, so if there is anything wrong, please put it forward bluntly. ”

Although Zhang Zhixuan said this, the Purple Mansion monks led by the Shenmu Sect still did not dare to slack off, and despised the two Jindan masters.

There are hundreds of countries close to the Southern Wilderness, large and small, these small sects in the Southern Wilderness vary in strength and weakness, and the weak ones are just like the previous Qingxuanzong, there is only one master of the Jindan period, and there is a hidden danger of extinction if you are not careful, and the status is not consolidated.

Powerful ones such as the Danyang Sect of the Song Kingdom and the Xuansu Sect of the Wu Kingdom are not weaker than the Shenmu Sect.

Especially the Xuansuzong of the Wu Kingdom, there were three masters of the Yuan Infant Stage hundreds of years ago, and their strength was not weaker than the six sects of the Qi State, and they were also the overlords of the small countries in the Southern Wilderness.

These monks from small countries in the Southern Wilderness, because their foundation is not in the Great Zhou, often do things without scruples, and in fact, they should be more careful to deal with them.

Although the duties of guarding the city gates are small, the responsibilities are heavy, and the monks selected are all experienced veterans.

Especially the Purple Mansion monk headed by him, Shou Yuan is about four hundred years old, and although his cultivation is far inferior to Zhang Zhixuan, he has more experience than him.

This kind of monk looks at people with a very poisonous eye, and his personality is also exquisite, and it is impossible for a dog to take advantage of people and easily make enemies with others.

In the Great Zhou Immortal Cultivation Realm, the city of monks is divided into three classes, and the lowest fang market is similar to Xihe Fang, and there is almost no need to pay a fee to enter the city.

Second-class cities are like Black Mountain Fang City, and the cost of entering the city is about one lower grade spirit stone.

The last one is the big cities of Shengyuan City and Huoshan City.

These immortal cultivators vary in size from city to city, and if they want to enter the city, they must apply for an entry order.

This kind of entry order is equivalent to a kind of identity token, which has a hint of monk's breath in it, which is convenient for the defense formation to identify itself.

If a monk who has not handled the order to enter the city rashly breaks into the Shengyuan City, he will be attacked by the Shengyuan City Defense Formation.

The entry order is considered a low-level magic weapon, the price is one hundred spirit stones, and after the entry order is handled, there is no need to pay a fee to enter Shengyuan City in the future.

The last time Zhang Zhixuan came to Da Zhou, he had handled several orders to enter the city.

Under the guidance of the monks of the Purple Mansion guarding the city, Zhang Zhixuan and the others paid two medium-grade spirit stones, handled the order to enter the city, and entered the interior of this Shengyuan City.

After the city, Zhang Zhixuan's sense swept and found that there were hundreds of streets crisscrossing the city, and shops of various sizes were lined up one after another, which looked quite impressive.

On the streets, there are quite a few monks, and occasionally you can hear some bargaining and noisy noises, which are very popular.
