Chapter 41: Choosing a Cave House
Seeing that Zhang Zhixuan was reluctant, the middle-aged monk's face was also a little embarrassed, and he reluctantly said: "Of course there are cheap ones, along this road, go up to Heihefang for two miles, and there are hundreds of small courtyards free.
However, the spiritual energy in these small courtyards is thin, and there are only first-order mid-grade spiritual veins in them, which is completely insufficient for you Qi cultivation stage cultivators to cultivate.
These small courtyards also do not have attached spiritual fields, let alone use the Spirit Gathering Array to gather spiritual energy, once they violate the rules, they will be expelled from Heihe Fang immediately.
Except for the casual cultivation of extremely low cultivation and the fact that there are no spirit stones, there are no monks willing to live in this kind of small courtyard at all.
The monks who live in this kind of courtyard are either elderly monks who have given up cultivation, or monks who have just entered the Qi cultivation period and do not have spirit stones in their hands
However, this kind of low-level cave house also has some advantages, that is, the price is extremely cheap, and you can live in Heihefang for a year by paying only one spirit stone every year.
According to the rules set by the Taixu Ancestor, monks were forbidden to fight within thirty miles of Heihefang.
If you take out a spirit stone every year, you can exchange it for a year of peace.
Some monks who have no hope of the path basically move the cave to the small courtyard at the foot of the mountain, and can mix in Heihefang for a day until the spirit stone is exhausted and driven out of the cave. ”
"My cultivation is already good, but living in this kind of low-level cave mansion is a bit eye-catching, and it is also a little inconsistent with my purpose of keeping my head in obscurity and hiding to find enemies.
This time I settled in Heihefang, neither in the limelight nor too low-key, to be like a normal casual practice, to settle down in Heihefang, so as not to be suspected by others, it is possible to find out the real news, revenge for my father and resolve obsession. ”
Zhang Zhixuan thought about it in his heart, and finally made up his mind, smiled and said: "This fellow Daoist, although we are casual cultivators, there is also an elder who has been in Heihefang back then, and he is not a fool who knows nothing.
Of the two caves you introduced, one was originally intended for monks during the foundation building period.
And the monks who dare to enter the Southern Wilderness to hunt demon beasts, once the foundation is successfully built, they will hunt and kill demon beasts above the third level, occupy their entrenched spiritual veins, and open up caves outside.
Therefore, although these high-level cave mansions are good, the foundation building monks are often reluctant to live in the fang market, and the price of this kind of cave mansion is too expensive for the qi cultivation period monks.
Only some small immortal cultivation families would rent this kind of cave mansion.
And the other kind of cave house is prepared for the casual cultivation of mixed days, and our brother and sister are not ready to live mixed days, how can we live in it? ”
Hearing Zhang Zhixuan's words, the middle-aged monk's face changed and said, "It turned out to be a regular customer, it was really disrespectful."
Since the two of you are very familiar with Heihefang, I won't say more.
Most of the caves suitable for monks in the late stage of Qi cultivation are on the mountainside.
There is a spiritual cave in the cave, but it takes ten days to open it once, and the time for each opening is only three days, and the monks in the cave cannot open the spiritual cave to practice casually, once they are discovered, they will recover their losses, and they will be severely punished.
In addition, there are also three-third-order first-order high-grade spiritual fields in the cave, which can grow spiritual rice and supply them to the monks for cultivation.
The prices of these caves are also different, and the concentration of spiritual energy in them is also different, the price is high, dozens of spirit stones a year, and the low price is only about seven or eight spirit stones. ”
After listening to the introduction of the middle-aged monk, Zhang Zhixuan was also a little moved, and asked: "Are there any fire eyes of earth fire in these caves, can they be alchemists and refining weapons?" ”
"It turns out that Daoyou actually knows how to do alchemy, Daoyou looks young, but his ability is very extraordinary?
Most of us here are casual cultivators who lack inheritance, and there are very few monks who can do alchemy, except for high-level cave mansions, most of the qi cultivation period cave mansions do not have this function.
However, there are a few shops selling elixirs in the market, and these shops recruit alchemists almost all year round.
Since the little brother has a skill, it is easy to find his own position. ”
Under the introduction of the middle-aged monk, Zhang Zhixuan and the others chose a relatively spacious cave mansion.
This cave is opened in a cave, and this trickling stream, this dark river, passes through the cave dozens of zhang deep, and flows into the deepest part of Montenegro.
Zhang Zhixuan looked at the stream and asked suspiciously: "Will there be some hidden demon beasts in the stream that will invade the cave?" ”
"Fellow Daoists don't know that the reason why Black Mountain can become a fourth-order mid-grade spiritual vein is that the most important thing is a spiritual river inside Black Mountain.
These streams are all tributaries of the Ling River, and it is precisely because of the irrigation of the spiritual water in the Ling River that a large number of spiritual fields can be opened up in the Heihe Fang, and a part of the spiritual rice can be planted and some monks can be raised.
This spiritual river is the foundation of the monks of Montenegro, and a large number of forbidden laws are arranged in it, and even the ancestors of Montenegro often pay attention to it.
Therefore, Daoist friends can rest assured that there is no danger here at all. ”
After sending off the middle-aged monk and paying the rent of fifteen spirit stones for a year at one time, Zhang Zhixuan and the others moved to the cave on the same day.
Zhang Zhixuan opened the spiritual acupoint, sensed the spiritual energy and said: "This spiritual acupoint is already a second-order upper grade, and the spiritual energy is better than that of the family spiritual field."
Every ten days, you can open the spiritual acupoint and cultivate for three days, which is also more than the mountain gate.
Although the price is slightly more expensive, there are also advantages to being expensive. ”
In recent years, Zhang Zhixuan and the others have accumulated more than 300 spirit stones, and they can be regarded as worry-free for the time being.
There are three points of spiritual fields in the cave, and the spiritual rice planted is almost ripe.
Zhang Zhixuan looked at the spiritual rice and found that the spiritual rice here was different from the one in the family, the rice grains were full and crystalline, and the whole body was pitch black, like a huge pearl.
This kind of spiritual rice is called Xuanzhu Dan, also known as black pearl, and the grade is also higher than the chalcedony rice of the Zhang family, reaching the first order.
Although the grade is much higher, the yield of spiritual rice is much lower, one acre of black pearl spiritual rice, the yield is less than 100 catties, only three or four layers of chalcedony rice.
These three points of spiritual rice in the cave mansion can also allow Zhang Zhixuan and the others to taste and change their tastes, and they can't supply the daily wear and tear of the two of them.
In addition to these three points of spiritual field, there are four or five rooms in the cave mansion, and there are no alchemy rooms, refining rooms and other other functions, and some of the furniture decorations inside are also a little old.
Zhang Zhixuan touched the accumulated dust, and estimated that this cave had been uninhabited for two or three years.
Zhang Zhixuan and the others cleaned up their rooms, and after cleaning the cave mansion, they followed the path on the mountainside and entered the Black Mountain Fang City to inquire about the news to see if they could find a job earning spirit stones.
Although the two of them have no worries about food and clothing for the time being, Zhang Zhixuan's precautionary personality is impossible for him to sit on a chaotic life.
Besides, he went down the mountain to take revenge, in order to resolve the obsession of this body, only by wandering in a well-informed place can he find out the traces of the enemy.
