Three days later, one early morning.

Yuan Ming took a random task of searching for spiritual materials in the Xingzhi Hall, and then left the Biluo Cave Mountain Gate to Fang Ge and headed northeast.

After getting away from the mountain gate, he chanted a word, and a layer of blue light like an air flow appeared around his body, and the whole person became extremely light, and he could fly forward several feet away with a light touch of the ground.

This is exactly the wind shortcut technique obtained from the fire breathing place, and he has mastered it after a little cultivation in his leisure time in the first two days.

This type of spell usually doesn't take the time to become proficient, and you can slowly increase your proficiency by using it on the road every day.

With the blessing of this technique, Yuan Ming traveled much faster than before, nearly three hundred miles a day, and at night, he randomly found a nearby mortal town to stay in a store, meditate and cultivate.

A few days later, at noon, he came to a remote valley about a hundred miles away from the nearest mortal town.

The valley looked lush and green, with a white mist at the entrance, and the peaks on either side were too high to shade the sun, and from afar the valley was always shrouded in great shadows, but there was really nothing to show for it.

Yuan Ming came to the entrance of the valley, stopped for a moment, then walked forward and plunged into the white mist.

As a result, after only half a burnt of incense, the eyes suddenly opened up, a large town appeared in front of them, and the fog that had been filled with it had long since dissipated.

The buildings in this town are all made of a kind of black rock, which at first glance seems to be a little chaotic, but it is faintly centered on the valley and gathered into a round black boulder.

Seeing this, Yuan Ming showed a smile on his face.

This is the Black Rock City in Ulu's mouth, not an ordinary mortal town, but a city of monks, and the fog outside the valley is to prevent ordinary mortals from entering by mistake.

Before he set off, he also took some time to check some records about this city in the Guizang Pavilion, and knew that the location of this city was relatively special, and it was at the intersection of the three sects of Biluo Cave, Qingyan Society and Black Fire Gate, and it was also quite far from the other two sects, so it was originally established for the convenience of the monks of various sects.

With the passage of time, monks from the Southern Regions and the Central Plains, as well as some casual cultivators, gradually prospered and became a well-known meritorious city in the Northern Regions.

It is said that this Fang City is not currently under the control of any of the five sects in the Northern Regions, but belongs to an ancient family of cultivators, and is under the jurisdiction of its city lord.

This family is very mysterious and low-key, and even no one in the Northern Regions knows where its territory is, but the people of the Five Sects dare not disrespect it, and honestly do business in the city.

At this time, Yuan Ming was not wearing a Biluo Cave disciple uniform, but was wearing a set of ordinary clothes in southern Xinjiang, and he also wore a hat with a veil on his head to cover his appearance.

There was a lot of fish and dragons in Black Rock City, so the people who came and went, especially the casual cultivators, were dressed like this, he just followed the crowd, and at the same time, he could avoid some trouble.

At the entrance of the town, there were two guards in black armor, one tall and one short, who both had mana aura on their bodies, and their cultivation was not low, and they were all above the fourth level of qi refining.

"Your Excellency is going into the city? Please pay the entrance fee and a spirit stone." The short, round-faced black-armored guard on the left stopped Yuan Ming and said politely.

"Why do you need to pay for the entrance to the city?" Yuan Ming frowned slightly when he heard this.

He doesn't have many spirit stones on him, and he hasn't seen anything yet, so he has to give a spirit stone.

"Recently, there has been a great increase in the number of monks, and in order to reduce the chaos caused by the number of idle people in the city, the payment of the entrance fee is temporarily required. If you don't want to, go back the way you came." The black-armored guard on the right hand side was as tall and thin as a hemp rod, and said lightly.

"Just a spirit stone." Yuan Ming snorted, took out a fire attribute spirit stone and handed it to the round-faced guard.

The guards took the spirit stone, got out of the way, and let Yuan Ming enter the city.

There was no feeling outside, and after entering the city, Yuan Ming felt the different prosperity of Black Rock City.

Ahead was a wide, slightly empty street of black stone, large enough to accommodate three carriages from the mundane world

The black stone houses next to the street are quaint in shape, with small doors and windows, like small fortresses.

These seem to be shops, selling mostly mortal goods, mostly rice, noodles, and insect food from southern Xinjiang, and many people are busy in them, but they are all mortals who have no magic power.

From time to time, you can see animal carts driving away from a certain shop, carrying all kinds of ingredients to the city.

Yuan Ming was not surprised by this, the essence of immortal cultivators is also a mortal fetus in the flesh, and before reaching the realm of the valley, they also need to eat, drink, and lazar, especially the low-level cultivators who have just reached the tenth level of qi refining, even if they want to open the valley, they can only maintain it for a month.

The mortals on the street seemed to be accustomed to seeing immortal cultivators, so they didn't care about Yuan Ming's arrival, and continued to do their own thing.

Yuan Ming walked along the Blackstone Street to the end, and a more spacious street appeared in front of him.

There are also shops on both sides of the place, but they are much taller than the entrance, and the proportions of the doors and windows tend to be normal, and at first glance the shops are all for monks.

There are many monks who come and go, but the streets are open and do not seem crowded, and the sounds of talking and selling come and go, converging into waves and waves, which stimulate people's ears.

"I've seen it all when I pass by, the brain marrow of the black-backed lizard, a bottle of spirit stones!"

"Sell two spirit stones per catty of green jade!"

"Blood-winged bat liver, eating it has the effect of enhancing eyesight, only two spirit stones per catty!"

Almost all of these shops had a guy standing at the door, shouting and buying, no different from the merchants of the mundane world.

Yuan Ming looked at everything around curiously, especially the goods in the shops on both sides.

He also entered Biluo Cave for a while, during which he had a few more opportunities, and obtained spiritual material classics such as "Herborist" and "Strange Stone Record", and he was quite confident in the identification of spiritual materials, but there were many kinds of goods in Heiyan Chengfang City, and many items were still unheard of.

"It seems that in the future, I will have to come to this kind of market more often, even if it is just to broaden my horizons." Yuan Ming said with some excitement.

"Sell spirit animals! Flying spirit beasts, water spirit beasts have everything, don't miss it when you pass by!" A gong-like voice came from the front, full of enthusiasm, attracting the attention of people nearby.

"This voice ......" Yuan Ming was stunned and looked over.

There is a large shop not far ahead, covering a large area, with white walls and blue tiles, compared with the surrounding shops, there is a feeling of standing out from the crowd.

Through the open door, you can see part of the scene in the store, there are many cages, containing all kinds of fierce beasts, and the person shouting at the door of the store is a round-faced young man with thick eyebrows and big eyes, it is Yuan Ming's old acquaintance Zhao Tong.

"Is that him? Why did he get to Black Rock City?" Yuan Ming was surprised.

His gaze immediately moved upward, and there was a plaque with gold characters on a white background hanging on the door of the shop, with the words "Biluo Shop" written on it.

"Bi Luo Pu? It's a spirit beast being sold, and Zhao Tong is here to solicit business, it seems that this shop is the official property of Biluo Cave, right?" Yuan Ming said secretly, the turmoil in his heart has not subsided.

He had long known that there was a Biluo Cave industry in Black Rock City, but he didn't expect that it was a spirit beast that was being sold.

Biluo Cave is famous for controlling beasts in the Northern Regions, and spirit beasts can be called the root of Biluo Cave, and they are willing to sell them in Black Rock City?

At present, Yuan Ming naturally does not know that the daily expenses of the sect are quite large, and the various resources and spiritual materials required are not a small number, and Biluo Cave cannot be completely self-sufficient, and it is necessary to communicate with the outside world from time to time, and the shops set up in various markets are one of the important channels and sources of income.

In the face of absolute interests and needs, it is normal to take out the spirit beasts that are the foundation of the sect and sell them, but the price is not cheap.

The spirit beasts in Biluo Cave are quite popular, and from time to time people are attracted to it, and most of the people who come out are smiling, and there is an extra spirit beast bag on their waists.

Yuan Ming already had a black toad, and he had no intention of buying a spirit beast again, and he had no intention of catching up with Zhao Tong in such a situation, so he walked over as if nothing had happened.

After a few small and medium-sized shops, another large shop appeared in front, and the people at the door were cold, hanging a plaque

Eh, there are three big characters written "Black Fire Pavilion".

"Black Fire Pavilion? Could it be that it is the same as Biluopu, the property of the Black Fire Gate in this city?" Yuan Ming looked inside the Black Fire Pavilion.

The layout of the Black Fire Pavilion is very different from ordinary shops, and when you look at the door, you can only see a few cabinets, and you can't see what this shop sells.

Yuan Ming picked up his divine sense and quickly swept inside.

The layout of the Black Fire Pavilion is similar to that of Biluopu, with many sealed cages and cabinets inside, and what is locked in it is not spirit beasts, but some refining corpses and ghosts.

Seeing this, Yuan Ming no longer doubted.

The Black Fire Gate is a sect that is good at manipulating corpses and raising ghosts, and this Black Fire Pavilion must be the industry of the Black Fire Gate.

"Biluo Cave and Black Fire Gate all have shops here, and the other three sects in the Southern and Northern Regions, the Hundred Poison Caves, the Beast King Sect, and the Qingyan Society, are estimated to have shops here." Yuan Ming said secretly.

Judging from the information about the five sects in the Northern Regions that he made up for before he went out, the five sects were the strongest in the Black Fire Gate, which was good at taking corpses and driving away ghosts, and the other four sects were almost the same.

The Hundred Poison Cave is good at using poison, especially good at controlling all kinds of poisonous insects, and has a lot in common with the beasts in Biluo Cave.

The Beastmaster faction is good at totem tattoo secret arts, can enhance the strength of the body, and is good at close combat.

As for the Qingyan Hui located in the Kasi clan, it is more special, this sect occupies the largest spiritual stone mine in the northern region of southern Xinjiang, and it is the most wealthy of the five sects.

Qingyan Society was founded for the shortest time, formerly known as a large chamber of commerce, and Biluo Cave and other sects maintained long-term trade relations, after the establishment of the sect, but also the spirit stone business to other regions of southern Xinjiang, and even the Central Plains of the Great Jin.

In terms of the secret arts, the Qingyan Society is not unique, the exercises and means practiced by the disciples in the association are all opened with spirit stones, purchased or stolen from the other four sects, since the trade with the Great Jin, they have also learned the spells of the Central Plains, and it is a hodgepodge-like sect.

Although the other four sects didn't like this, they all needed the spirit stones of the Qingyan Society, so they had to pretend to be deaf and dumb, and for so many years, they were safe.
