Chapter 13: Eastbound

The Chiyan tribe is located halfway up the dormant volcano of Chiyan, and the trading market is at the foot of the mountain.

Although Lu Xiaoman didn't encounter any danger along the way, he also walked for five days to get here.

"Master, Master!, there are so many people!"

After entering the Fang Market, looking at the people coming and going on the lively streets, although Lu Xiaoman tried his best to tense his face according to Li Shenzhou's instructions, his eyes couldn't stop, and he looked around curiously.

Although the market did not look tidy, with stalls and shops on both sides of the dirt road, the sound of hawkers and the sound of trading still made Lu Xiaoman feel new to all this.

There was no trade within a small tribe like theirs, and it was all distributed by the patriarch.

"Master, where are we going next?" Lu Xiaoman asked.

"Just take a look around and see if there's any information selling. Li Shenzhou had already thought about it and said directly.

"How do you find it?" Lu Xiaoman said puzzled.

"You just have to go..."

"Got it, Master. Lu Xiaoman suddenly stopped thinking about it and walked happily.

"This girl, it's your first time in Chiyanfang City, right?Is there anything you need help with?" It didn't take long for a lean little old man to stop Lu Xiaoman and ask with a smile.

"I need information on the Outlands, the more detailed the better. Lu Xiaoman repeated what Li Shenzhou taught with a straight face, and said.

"If you want to be specific, then please come with me, my shop is not far from here. Your old man glanced at Lu Xiaoman in a little surprise, and then said.

Lu Xiaoman pondered for a moment, in fact, he was waiting for Li Shenzhou's instructions.

"Okay. ”

The old man's shop was no different from the others, it was just as dirty, there was everything in it, and it was arranged in a mess on several rows of shelves, obviously not just selling information.

"I don't know what kind of information the girl needs? from the outer regions or only from the southern regions? Are there any specific requirements? If it is more secretive information, then the price is justβ€”" The old man asked.

"It doesn't need to be very secretive, just basic information, but the wider the scope, the better. ”

"Okay, little old man understands, only three gold coins are needed. The old man did the math and said.

Lu Xiaoman nodded, took out three gold coins directly from the cloth bag in his arms and handed them to the old man.

The old man didn't seem to be surprised, and after taking the gold coin, he picked up a stack of books from the corner behind a shelf.

"These should be the information you need," the little old man said with a smile, "If it's inconvenient for you to take it away, you can watch it here." ”

"Then thank you," Lu Xiaoman nodded and picked up a copy and read it.

said that Lu Xiaoman was flipping through the pages, but in fact, it was Li Shenzhou who was really watching, so the speed of flipping through was very fast, turning a page in a few seconds, in fact, if it wasn't for his fear of attracting too much attention, this speed could be dozens of times faster, and the content of a page could be completely recorded in the moment he opened it.

In just half an hour, Lu Xiaoman finished the half-human-high stack of books, and then said goodbye to the old man and left.

When Lu Xiaoman walked away, the old man, who was still a little lazy, changed his expression, looked at the direction of Lu Xiaoman's departure and thought for a moment, took out a thin booklet from the humble counter and wrote on it.

"I found that he was suspected of being a ninth-layer genius in body refining, female, fifteen to eighteen years old, looking like a human race, dressed as a barbarian, suspected of being mixed-race, suspected of going out for the first time..."

"I have the gold coins of the Heavenly Dragon Dynasty with me, but I don't know anything about the outside world, and I don't seem to be from a big tribe..."

"Purpose unknown..."

The old man then drew a portrait next to the text, almost exactly the same as Lu Xiaoman. When all this was done, the old man dated it again, and carefully put the booklet away.

"Master, where are we going next?" Lu Xiaoman asked after walking away again as he returned to his original appearance.

"First go to the square in the center of Fang City to inquire, where ordinary casual people or small traders will form groups to leave the Southern Regions. Li Shenzhou said.

Lu Xiaoman nodded and walked towards the center of Fang City. And Li Shenzhou also sorted out the information he had just gotten.

According to intelligence, this small world is called the East Border, and the continent under their feet is the only continent in the East Border, and it is bordered by the East Continent.

It is impossible to verify where the name of the East Critical Boundary came from, but since ancient times, it has been divided into five regions, southeast, northwest, and middle, of which the middle region is the birthplace of the original civilization of this world, and the area is also the largest among the five domains, which is more than ten times the size of the entire earth's area. All the tribes live here.

However, later the Terran rose and defeated the barbarian demon clan and other powerful races to dominate the Central Regions, and the defeated barbarians and demon clans fled into the mountains and dense forests of the Southern Regions in order to avoid extermination.

In the west of the Middle Domain, there is a Death Desert is the Western Regions, which was also a wild land at the beginning, with an area half the size of the Middle Domain, and then the Terrans successively went through several civil wars, a Terran split, crossed the Death Desert and moved to the Western Regions, and then established a country and settled there, and then after tens of thousands of years of development, it is now ruled by the Arthurian Dynasty and hundreds of principalities.

The Eastern Regions were only one-tenth the size of the Middle Domain, which was originally connected to the Middle Domain, but 20,000 years ago, when the dynasty was replaced, the two supreme powerhouses fought at the junction of the Eastern Regions and the Central Regions, and the powerful forces shattered the leylines and poured into the seawater, since then the hundreds of miles wide strait separated the entire Eastern Regions from the Middle Regions, and the old dynasty was able to survive, but after several changes, it has now evolved into seven vassal states to form the Seven Kingdoms Alliance.

Although the remaining Northern Regions are also connected to the Central Regions, they have been barren ice fields since ancient times, and there are no living creatures living except for a few hardy monsters and humans who avoid disasters.

As the center of the eastern border, the Central Domain has been divided into one hundred and eight states since the Terran Dingding, and has been ruled by a unified dynasty, but the power of the sect is extremely strong. At present, it occupies the entire Central Region is the Heavenly Dragon Dynasty, which was just founded four thousand years ago, and it is said that the top ten martial arts sects are dissatisfied with the imperial dynasty at that time, so they jointly elected the current Heavenly Dragon Dynasty royal family to replace it. Therefore, although the Central Domain is now ruled by the Heavenly Dragon Dynasty, any of the ten major sects is enough to be on an equal footing with it.

And the Seven Killing Palaces mentioned by the Young Gang Master of the Blood Dragon Gang are ranked among them, and they belong to one of the three major demon gates, along with the Yin Luo Sect and the Heavenly Demon Palace.

Among the remaining seven major sects, four belong to the righteous path, namely Tianxin Pavilion, Lotus Temple, Qingyun Sect and Mingjian Mountain.

The remaining three major sects act both right and evil, namely the Divine Sword Gate, the Valley of Ten Thousand Flowers, and the Bloody Clothes Building.

These ten major sect masters are like clouds, and their strength can be described as unfathomable, even the Bloody Clothes Building, which has been established for the shortest time, has a heritage of nearly 10,000 years, and the most mysterious Tianxin Pavilion can even be traced back to the time of the Great War of the Hundred Clans in Ancient Times.

Through the information, Li Shenzhou also knew the division of martial arts strength in this world.

It is divided into five realms: refining, building, condensing, de-fan, and returning to the truth, and it is said that there is a legendary fairyland on top of the truth, but the last time this realm appeared in the record was the two strong men who split the Eastern Regions at that time, and at present, there are no such strong people in the entire Eastern Critical Realm who wrote these information.

And each of these five realms can be divided into nine layers, of which the realm of detachment is the most critical realm, flying in the sky, slaughtering the city alone, and Shouyuan has five hundred years. It can be said that there are ants under the mortal, and they usually do not appear in the world, only among the top ten top sects and some first-class sects have such masters.

The hall master of the Ningyuan Realm of the Cangzhou Branch of the Seven Killing Palaces that the Blood Dragon Gang planned to tie up before was a powerhouse of the third realm of martial arts, and he was a master of the Weizhen side, and the leader of the Blood Dragon Gang, the strongest gang in Cangzhou, was Wu Shaoying's father, and he was only the eighth layer of the foundation.

However, the most special realm in the five realms of martial arts is the most basic refining realm, as long as you reach the fourth layer in the nine layers of refining, you can try to build a foundation, the reason is that in addition to the refining body itself is too difficult, without the assistance of elixir and too slow, the cheats that can be cultivated to more than the seventh layer of refining are also very rare and precious, but more importantly, as the number of refining layers increases, the more difficult it will be to build a foundation, and the difficulty of building a foundation in the seventh layer of refining is ten times that of the fourth layer of refining. However, after refining the seventh layer of the body to build the foundation, under the same conditions such as exercises, it is only about thirty percent stronger than the foundation building strength of the fourth layer, and the pay and gain are completely disproportionate, so except for the real demons and powerful people, most people choose to build the foundation in the sixth layer of the body refining, and some people with bad talent or lack of resources will even start to build the foundation at the fourth layer.

"According to the description in the information, Xiao Man was the ninth layer of body refining when he completed the first set of actions, and now it should be regarded as the ninth layer of body refining. ”

Although as common sense, there is no explanation for this in the information, but Li Shenzhou probably understood the reason according to the dozen or so cheats he got before and the process of Lu Xiaoman's body refining, which is simply starting at the fourth layer of the refining body, and the dantian gradually expands with the improvement of the refining body, and this situation becomes more obvious when the seventh layer of the refining body begins to exercise the viscera, and the foundation building is to introduce the energy required to cultivate the true qi in the aura of heaven and earth into the body and fill the dantian at one time, and use it to form the true qi seed.

The whole process, whether it is the introduction of energy into the body or the process of manipulating energy to form true qi seeds, requires spiritual power to control.

Therefore, the larger the dantian, the more energy is needed to fill the dantian at one time, so controlling this energy requires more powerful spiritual power.

And if the human race does not have a strong talent or special natural treasure, it is often difficult for spiritual power to meet this requirement, and as for the secret method of cultivating spiritual power, it is extremely rare, so it is often the top geniuses of the big forces who have the resources and talent to cultivate to the ninth level of the body refining and build a foundation successfully.

"I chose to use Lu Xiaoman as the coordinates to set up the passage because she was born with a strong soul... She should be able to build a successful foundation, right?" Li Shenzhou thought for a moment and then stopped thinking about it.

In addition, according to the records, the cultivation exercises in this world are also divided into five levels, which are divided into heaven and earth Xuanhuang, and the lower part of the yellow rank is not into the stream, and the thirteen exercises that Li Shenzhou got before are all non-flow exercises except for the "Blood River Divine Palm" which is the middle grade of the yellow order. And the immortal-level exercises above the heavenly level have not been heard of by anyone since ancient times.
