Chapter 57 First Arrival at Fanjing Mountain
The spirit boat was guided to land in an open space, and coincidentally, the one that landed on the left of the spirit boat was the Qiyun dragon turtle seen earlier.
Yulingzhai is a famous sect in the Ning Kingdom, and it is one of the several immortal cultivation sects whose strength is second only to Fanjing Mountain, and most of its inheritance exercises are related to the domestication of spirit beasts.
It is said that Yu Lingzhai has a total of three well-known mountain protection spirit beasts, and the strongest one is close to the consummation realm of the Qi Sea Stage, coupled with the natural advantages of the spirit beast's body, you can imagine how terrifying the strength is.
Everyone followed Liu Wenzhong and walked towards the main hall on the north side of the clearing. As he passed by the Qiyun Dragon Turtle, Yang Xiu slowed down intentionally or unintentionally, concentrating on the blue-gray giant turtle shell on the dragon's back.
After a few breaths, a magical scene appeared in Yang Xiu's mind: the dragon turtle's solid turtle shell and scale armor disappeared, and were replaced by layers of milky white dense immortal texts.
These words are all over the body of the dragon turtle, some large and some small, and the outermost immortal text is the clearest, and the further you go, the more blurred it becomes. In the center of the dragon tortoise's abdomen, the immortal text was densely encircled, surrounded by a white ball of light.
Yang Xiu raised his eyebrows slightly, his face showed joy, and he said in his heart that the ancients would not deceive me.
It is said in ancient books that as the lifespan and cultivation of the spirit beast increases, the immortal text will slowly condense in the meridians of the body, representing the strength of this spirit beast.
The same is true for some ancient treasures and high-grade spirit stones, they have absorbed spiritual power by themselves for countless years, slowly giving birth to immortal texts, and making their own quality to a higher level, so everything that has some spiritual energy will become more and more precious as the time of existence increases.
It was the first time Yang Xiu saw such a spirit beast that could condense immortal texts, and he was amazed to see those immortal texts gather and disperse with the breath of the Qiyun Dragon Turtle, alternating between light and dark.
Just under careful observation, Yang Xiu couldn't help frowning slightly. There is something strange about an immortal text on the hind legs of the dragon turtle's body - the order of the text here is obviously disrupted, and it is incompatible with the rhythmic text of the dragon turtle's body, which seems very abrupt.
"What is Lao Yang doing, keep up!"
Yang Xiu wanted to take a closer look, but Liu Xian's urging voice came from the front, and Yang Xiu patronized the dragon turtle and had already fallen behind the team. Seeing this, Yang Xiu glanced back a little reluctantly, and then hurried up.
The disciples of Yulingzhai took their respective spirit beasts and walked off the turtle's back one after another. The Qiyun Dragon Turtle closed its eyes slightly, and its huge body fluctuated slightly with its breathing, as if it was a little tired from the long journey.
The people of Yulingzhai are used to the slow appearance of this spirit beast, and they all take care of their own things.
However, just as everyone left the turtle's back and walked towards the main hall, the Qiyun Dragon Turtle let out a low roar like rolling thunder, and the giant lantern-like eyes slowly opened, flashing with bright yellow spiritual light, and tilted their heads slightly, looking at the group of immortal cultivators who were gathering towards the main hall.
It didn't matter if the dragon turtle moved, the spiritual pressure it brought up scattered out in all directions, directly blowing some nearby disciples to the ground, and the timid ones were already screaming in fright.
The leader of the team led by Yu Lingzhai was an old man with a strong body and a white beard, named Min Qingshan, who was full of energy and looked more energetic than many young people.
Hearing the movement, Min Qingshan turned around in some surprise, and hurriedly stepped forward to put his hands on the claws of the dragon turtle, and said something in his mouth.
This Qiyun Dragon Turtle is one of the spirit beasts of the town sect of Yulingzhai, much higher than the seniority of everyone present, this time escorting the younger generation of disciples to Fanjing Mountain, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is "condescending".
If this ancestor gets angry, he will be in big trouble.
Fortunately, the Qiyun Dragon Turtle just opened its eyes and looked at the crowd, as if looking for something, but soon closed its eyes again, and the head like a small house fell back to the ground, and the terrifying coercion disappeared.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and Min Qingshan apologized to everyone around him and led everyone to move on.
The disciples in charge of receiving Fanjing Mountain were very efficient, and quickly arranged accommodation for everyone. The people of Tianshu Pavilion were divided into a courtyard close to the foot of the mountain, and the environment was still quiet.
However, when you walk into the courtyard, you can find that this small courtyard does not look amazing from the outside, but the interior is very carefully decorated, with white walls and gray tiles, clean and neat.
The closer to the top of the mountain, the more abundant the aura, and the location of the residence also indirectly indicates the status of each sect.
The next day was the official start of the Hajj Conference, and Liu Wenzhong gathered everyone together and gave a few simple instructions, and let everyone move freely.
Finally came to this holy land of cultivating immortals, so everyone naturally had to take a good turn. Liu Wenzhong's figure had just disappeared at the gate of the courtyard, Yang Xiu had already picked up the long sword, and beckoned to Liu Xian: "Let's go, let's go, I heard that there are several large markets under this mountain, and there is still a while before it gets dark, let's go around." ”
Liu Xian scratched his head whimsically, blushed and said, "That...... I made an appointment with Zhang Wan, why don't you go first, Brother Yang?"
"Damn, I can see through you. ”
Yang Xiu laughed and scolded when he heard this, waved his hand and said, "Do you have any money, I'll give you some spirit stones." ”
"No, no, hehe,"
Liu Xian grinned when he saw this, his chubby round face was full of spring, and said, "I came out this time to ask my master for some money, which is enough for us to issue rewards." ”
At the Hajj Conference, Fanjing Mountain will distribute the spirit stones that have just been mined from the ancient spirit mines to all sects, and the rewards obtained from this experience will be distributed by Liu Wenzhong at that time.
Yang Xiu agreed with a smile, put his luggage in the room, separated from Liu Xian at the door, and went straight to the town under the mountain.
The small courtyard is very close to the foot of the mountain, and Yang Xiu's feet are fast, and he has already left the mountain road after a meal, and he has seen dozens of feet away from the crowd.
It is not accurate to say that this is a market, in addition to the shops that sell all kinds of immortal cultivation items, there are also many mortals living here, operating restaurants, inns, cloth shops and many other businesses, Yang Xiu even saw a "Manchun Building" plaque, standing a lot of flowers and branches of the girl's attic.
Among the guests who patronized these places, there were many immortal cultivators with long swords on their backs, which made Yang Xiu couldn't help but sigh, this immortal cultivator also enjoyed it too much.
Is there really such a realm as "wine and meat pass through the intestines, but the Buddha stays in his heart"? Are these people not afraid of having the word "greed" when breaking through the bottleneck?
......
The name of the town is Tangkou Town, because Fanjing Mountain is surrounded by water, and the town is also located next to the rippling Fanjing Lake, so it is named.
Tangkou Town has an orderly layout, and the whole town is divided into four parts: east, west, north and south by the central crossroads. The four streets are named "Lingshi Street", "Spirit Animal Street", "Elixir Street" and "Antique Street", and as the name suggests, the streets sell different items.
As for the various alleys and intersections connecting the four main streets, they were full of the worldly mortal halls that Yang Xiu had seen before. Take a walk around the fourth street to buy your favorite baby, go to the restaurant to taste the exquisite snacks, and enter the spring building at night after a full meal, which is really a spring breeze.
Yang Xiu could be regarded as having seen a completely different life of cultivating immortals, and he inevitably sighed in his heart.
If you meditate and practice all day long, you will go crazy. As immortal cultivators who yearn for immortality, most people will find an excuse for themselves to enjoy life, otherwise what is the use of immortality.
Yang Xiu was more inclined to study and practice martial arts, study Dao Fu formations, and so on. There are many opportunities to enjoy it in the future, if you can't break through the quenching period and live for a hundred years at most, what is it called enjoyment.
Take precautions before they happen. If Yang Xiu didn't even have this kind of enlightenment, then these two lives would have lived like a dog in fifty years together.
The street is bustling with canvases lined with signboards, and the smell of bean skin or mutton soup wafts through the air from time to time.
Yang Xiu came to the nearest Spirit Beast Street first, picked the largest shop and walked in.
Beast taming has been going on for a long time. Ever since the human race in the Green Basin began to cultivate immortals, some people began to domesticate spirit beasts with good strength to guard the sect, and today it has developed into a powerful method of cultivating immortals.
However, Yang Xiu did not come here for a spirit animal, but for a spirit grass.
"Yo, what do you want from this son, do you want to buy some ingredients for your spirit beast, or do you want to pick a spirit beast to domesticate?" As soon as Yang Xiu entered the door, a young man dressed neatly approached and asked politely with a smile on his face.
"Do you have any white leaf grass here?" Yang Xiu asked.
"You've come to the right place, but everything related to spirit beasts, no matter how big or small, is available in our store,"
The little guy who spoke was very fast and enthusiastic, and led Yang Xiu to a corner of the store and introduced: "Here are white leaf grasses of different years, all of which are dried in the shade by special methods, and the efficacy is absolutely guaranteed. ”
Yang Xiu nodded, but he couldn't stand the enthusiasm of this little brother, so he used the excuse of taking a casual look at the other party to break it away, so he picked up a white leaf grass to observe.
White-leaved grass is an ordinary spirit grass, which is a favorite ingredient for many spirit animals, but it is only produced in the extreme west of Ningguo.
Yang Xiu saw in a classic book from a hundred years ago that dried white leaf grass can be ground into juice, and adding spiritual ink has the effect of strengthening the spiritual power of ink, and he has always wanted to try it.
However, there are no large shops open to immortal cultivators in Sanyin City, and there is no sect famous for the imperial envoy spirit beasts, so although this kind of spirit grass is ordinary, there is nowhere to buy it in Sanyin City.
After confirming that it was correct, Yang Xiu bought a hundred white leaf grasses and prepared to leave to buy other things.
As soon as he turned around, Yang Xiu heard a sound of "knock" footsteps behind him, and a middle-aged man who looked like a boss walked down quickly from upstairs, came to the door of the store and said respectfully: "Elder Qi, what a distinguished guest, you are here, my small shop is shining~"
Yang Xiu looked up curiously, and just saw the middle-aged man who had just come in and was called Elder Qi, and his heart moved: This guy is a little familiar, it seems that he was with the leader of Yulingzhai before?
The elder surnamed Qi said a few polite words, and asked a little anxiously: "Boss, do you still have the stock of the Life and Death Pill here, bring them all to me." ”
The middle-aged man looked embarrassed when he heard this, and said, "Elder Qi, I won't tell you anything, the number of this Life and Death Pill is scarce, and the current inventory is all in Fanjing Mountain. Why don't you wait a little longer for me to go to the mountains and get some, or do you go yourself? ”
Yang Xiu stood aside and heard the conversation between the two clearly, but he didn't stop, just turned his head to look at the two of them, and walked out of the house.
