Chapter 125: Jade Spirit City
Qingyang was about to take Yu Mengmiao to Yuling City, and Liang Chongtian had been playing in Liangzhou City for almost half a month, and he was also preparing to return to Yuling City, just all the way. So the two talked for a while, and it was not too early to see that it was dark, so the three of them went together in the direction of Jade Spirit City.
The first three days were relatively easy to walk, and there were no villages and fields around them, but by the fourth day, the road was becoming less crowded and the road suddenly became difficult, and they gradually entered the mountainous area.
The vicinity of Liangzhou City is said to be the center of the entire Liangzhou, and I don't know where so many mountains come from, and the mountains here are steep, the roads are difficult to walk, and the people are inaccessible, and even the people who collect medicine and hunters rarely come. However, it is only relative to ordinary people, masters like Liang Chongtian and Qingyang do not have a great impact, only Yu Mengmiao is too young and needs two people to take turns carrying it.
The mountains here are not only steep, but also there are many fierce beasts and birds, coupled with the fog around it, it is like a natural barrier, isolating most ordinary people from the outside. Even ordinary people from the outside world who occasionally break in suddenly will take the initiative to quit because they can't tell the direction clearly, or because there are too many beasts.
As the three of them gradually deepened, Qingyang gradually felt that this mountain range was different from the Xiping Mansion, although the mountain range here was not necessarily as large as the area over there, but the ability to gather spiritual energy was much greater, so the spiritual energy of the entire mountain range was stronger than that over there, and the Jade Spirit City was built in this kind of place, and the estimated amount of spiritual energy was also one of the main reasons.
This is the case on the periphery of the mountain range, it will definitely be better on the side of Jade Spirit City, cultivating here for a day is more efficient than cultivating in other places, who wouldn't want to come here? It is estimated that those low-level cultivators like lame Taoists and beggar kings feel that there is no hope of breaking through in this life, or they can't stay here, so they will go to the secular world to mingle.
Maybe it's because the Knocking Immortal Conference is about to start, and occasionally they will meet other scattered cultivators, but in this kind of barren mountains and mountains, they are more wary of each other, and no one will take the initiative to say hello, even if they meet head-on, they will leave in a hurry.
The world of cultivating immortals is not as peaceful as the outside world thinks, and it is also very common to kill people and seize treasures, especially in remote and inaccessible places. Fortunately, this time, Liang Chongtian, a monk of the ninth layer of the Open Pulse Realm, was with Qingyang, otherwise it was very likely that he would encounter some danger.
However, there are still a few people who dare to do this kind of thing, and most of the monks still abide by the rules, because sometimes there are self-proclaimed righteous monks who meddle in their affairs, and those immortal cultivators occasionally clean up this kind of monks.
If you do this kind of thing and are seen by others, and spread it, your reputation will be ruined, so this kind of thing is relatively secret, and there are generally great interests to attract, and you are sure enough to kill it, so you will do it. Of course, it doesn't matter if those have a bad reputation, broken jars, and broken jars.
With Liang Chongtian, a person familiar with the situation, the road was much smoother, and the originally planned journey of seven or eight days reached their destination on the morning of the seventh day.
Standing on the top of a small hill, Liang Chongtian pointed to a big city in the valley in front of him and said: "That is Yuling City, which is the largest settlement of scattered cultivation in Liangzhou, and the entire city has a population of more than 100,000. ”
In front of it is a rectangular valley, more than ten miles wide, more than twenty miles long, Yuling City is built according to the topography, covering an area of tens of thousands of acres, the city is nearly ten zhang high, tall and majestic, compared to the Liangzhou City they went to a few days ago, it is a little more majestic.
The terrain in front of Yuling City is slightly lower, the terrain behind is slightly higher, with the ups and downs of the terrain, there are countless pavilions and pavilions, layer upon layer, scattered, because the distance is too far, the situation inside Yuling City is not very real, but this momentum alone is fascinating.
With a population of more than 100,000, it is more than the population of Xiping Fucheng where Qingyang lives, and it is not much better than the more prosperous Kaiyuan Fucheng.
Qingyang sighed with emotion: "In the secular world, many people have never seen the legendary immortal master in their lives, and usually meeting a monk is like looking for a needle in a haystack. ”
Liang Chongtian said: "I don't know that this Jade Spirit City has been built for thousands of years, and it is normal to gather so many people over time." However, not all of them were monks living in Jade Spirit City, and nearly sixty or seventy percent of them were just ordinary people. ”
This doesn't need to be explained by Liang Chongtian, Qingyang can figure it out, when the scattered cultivators come to Yuling City, they don't necessarily come alone, and some may even bring their followers, family members or something, these people don't want to leave, so they can only be ordinary people here. Qingyang also brought Yu Mengmiao with him when he came, if Yu Mengmiao didn't have a spiritual root, wouldn't he be just like the ordinary people in Jade Spirit City?
Another reason is that the descendants of monks, under normal circumstances, the higher the cultivation, the more difficult it is to produce offspring, the higher the probability of the offspring having spiritual roots, and the relative qualifications will be higher. On the contrary, the lower the cultivation, the easier it is to produce offspring, and the less chance of having a spiritual root, even if you have a spiritual root, the qualifications are definitely relatively poor.
The people living in Jade Spirit City are all casual cultivators, and they are the lowest level of the entire immortal cultivation world, and the chances of ordinary people among their descendants are of course the highest. The descendants of these monks grew up here and were accustomed to life here, and of course they did not want to leave Jade Spirit City and live in a strange world.
Moreover, monks also need a lot of services, many low-level casual cultivators, and they can't afford to hire the same monks to do things for them, so it's normal to hire a few ordinary people. Usually a little thing is casually exposed between the fingers, which is enough for these ordinary people to live.
Then Liang Chongtian said: "There are more than 100,000 people in the entire Jade Spirit City, excluding those ordinary people who can't cultivate, and there are as many as forty or fifty thousand monks left, which is much more than the average immortal cultivation sect." However, the cultivation of the scattered cultivators in Jade Spirit City is generally relatively low, and nearly ninety percent of them are low-level cultivators in the Open Pulse Realm, and only about one percent are in the Qi refining period, and the foundation building period is even rarer, which cannot be compared with those immortal cultivation factions. ”
This is normal, those who can cultivate to a higher level are generally people with better qualifications, and such people will definitely join the Immortal Cultivation Sect with more abundant cultivation resources, instead of slowly struggling in this Jade Spirit City and wasting their time.
