Chapter 348: Life and Death
"This is the regional distribution map of Spirit Wind City, Daoist friends can make a reference." The monk in Tsing Yi said, handing over another jade slip.
Yuan Ming took the jade slip, and his divine sense did not enter it.
According to the above records, the city is divided into three areas: upper, middle and lower, all the shops are on the lower floor, and the middle and upper floors belong to the residential area, which is for the monks who come to settle here.
According to Yu Jian, the shops in the lower area are gathered, connected to each other by stone steps, plank roads, etc., and some places even dig out of the square, with a dense flow of people, and many mortals mixed in.
The middle floor area is mainly dominated by caves, close to each other, densely packed with thousands of them, and looks like a beehive.
The number of caves in the upper area is relatively rare, and the distance between them is far away, only about 100.
Yuan Ming ignored the shops on the lower floors and looked at the middle and upper floors.
The stone wall where Lingfeng City is located is connected to the spiritual veins of the nearby Lingshi mine, and when this city was established many years ago, the Lingrune Sect had a great power to lay down some kind of forbidden divine power, which completely fixed the spiritual veins, making the spiritual power in the stone wall of Lingfeng City more powerful and stable.
Since that spiritual vein is transmitted from top to bottom, the higher the location of the cave, the more abundant the spiritual energy, and of course, the more expensive the rental price.
The place where the cave house is rented is also the Lingfeng Hall in the mouth of the monk in Tsing Yi.
Yuan Ming groaned slightly, and planned to split up with Zuo Qinghui, going to the Spirit Wind Hall located in the middle area to rent the cave mansion, while Zuo Qinghui went to the shop area on the lower floor to purchase other items needed for the knot.
……
Half an hour later.
In front of the Spirit Wind Palace, Yuan Ming stood still, looking at the building in front of him, slightly stunned.
This three-storey attic, the whole body is made of bamboo and bricks, four pillars of cornices, it looks quite regular, but it covers a small area, it is not a palace, but the three words "Lingfeng Palace" hanging on the door show that they have not come to the wrong place.
Occasionally, monks enter and exit the door, most of them wearing hats or masks to hide their faces.
Yuan Ming's eyes moved slightly, ordinary monks in the city, rental houses need to leave their real appearance, identity certificates, etc., in this Spirit Wind City, is it not needed?
As soon as he thought of this, he also took out a gray mask and put it on, blended into the crowd, and entered the Spirit Wind Palace.
This gray mask was obtained during the battle of the veins of the Guiyuan Sect.
In that battle, Hua Zhi and King Kong both killed a lot of Guiyuan Sect monks, and those people's storage magic weapons were naturally put away, and the two beasts did not have a high demand for magic weapons, so they were naturally handed over to Yuan Ming afterwards, and this gray mask was obtained from a Guiyuan Sect disciple's storage magic weapon.
This mask has no special supernatural powers, and its only effect is that it can isolate the detection of divine sense, and no one else can see his face after wearing it on his face.
The area inside the Spirit Wind Hall is not large, but there are seven or eight stone tables, which looks even more crowded.
Behind each stone table sat a monk dressed in the costume of the Spirit Rune Sect, receiving those who entered.
Yuan Ming walked over to a free stone table and sat down.
"Do you want to lease the cave mansion, or is it something else?" The Spirit Rune Sect monk behind the stone table asked in a routine manner.
"The higher the location of the leased cave, the better, preferably in the upper area." Yuan Ming said in a loud voice.
"Upper area? It's the place where the seniors of the Yutan period lived, and the price is not cheap. Only then did the Spirit Rune Sect monk look up at Yuan Ming, his face a little surprised.
Yuan Ming didn't speak, but the meaning was obvious.
"In this case, Daoist friends wait a minute, the lease of the upper cave mansion is in charge of the elder of this sect, and I will go and ask his old man to come over." The Spirit Rune Sect monk got up and walked towards the back of the Spirit Wind Hall, a flash of joy flashing in his eyes.
If he solicits a business that leases the upper floor of the cave, he can get a lot of rewards.
A moment later, the Spirit Rune Sect monk walked over with a bald old man, this person's aura was profound, as if he was a knotted Dan stage existence.
"You want to lease the cave mansion in the upper area? Here's the price list, you take a look first. The bald old man sat down in front of Yuan Ming, took out a jade slip and put it on the table, and said in a flat tone.
Yuan Ming had already killed several monks in the Yudan period, so naturally he would not be suppressed by the bald old man's momentum, and his eyes calmly took the jade slip, and his divine sense was not in it.
His brow quickly furrowed slightly.
No wonder the monk of the Spirit Rune Sect said that the cave mansion in the upper area is not cheap, the annual rent of any cave mansion starts from five or six hundred spirit stones, and all the cave mansions are rented from five years, and those with a slightly thinner net worth can't afford it at all.
It's just that considering that it is where the monks of the Yudan period live, this price is not too expensive.
"I want Cave 12 and rent it for ten years." Yuan Ming made a slight selection and said.
The twelfth cave house is the highest position among the idle cave mansions recorded in the jade slip, and the rent for five years costs more than 10,000 spirit stones, which is a mess of expensive.
It's just that he needs to impact the knot pill right now, although he has made a lot of preparations in advance, he still hopes that the aura in the cave will be as strong as possible, and sometimes whether he can succeed or not may be a little bit worse.
This kind of spirit stone that should be flowered, he will not be stingy at all.
Yuan Ming waved his sleeves on the table, and a small pile of mid-grade spirit stones emerged.
"Your Excellency is worth a lot." The bald old man looked at Yuan Ming and smiled unexpectedly.
The bald old man counted the spirit stones, put them away, took out a white jade talisman and handed it to Yuan Ming, with the words twelve engraved on it, and said: "This is the forbidden jade talisman of the Twelfth Cave Mansion, which will automatically become invalid after ten years, and if you want to renew the lease, you need to come here again." ”
After speaking, the bald old man didn't wait for Yuan Ming to speak, so he turned around and walked to the back.
Seeing this, Yuan Ming touched his nose through the mask.
Lingfeng City's management of loose cultivation is really relaxed, neither asking him to reserve his name, nor letting him show his true face, and paying the spirit stone to the cave mansion is really good for a person like him who has a secret.
He picked up the jade talisman and walked out of the Spirit Wind Palace, ready to go to see the new cave mansion.
At this moment, a monk wearing a blue cloak walked over, looking a little petite, his body and face were hidden under the cloak, and he passed Yuan Ming and went straight to the Spirit Wind Palace.
Yuan Ming paused, his eyes showed a look of surprise, and then a white light flashed under his feet, and his figure rose into the sky, blending into the sky.
The blue-robed figure seemed to feel something, and looked back behind him.
It was empty, and there was nothing wrong with it.
The blue-robed man seemed to breathe a sigh of relief and walked quickly into the Spirit Wind Palace.
At this moment, in the air dozens of zhang above the Spirit Wind Palace, Yuan Ming stepped on the white jade flying shuttle, standing in the void, and his face was cloudy and uncertain.
The blue robe on the person's body just now had the effect of covering the aura, but his divine sense was strong, and he still sensed the aura of this person, and it turned out to be Yan Sijing from Baidanfang.
How could this woman appear in Lingfeng City, her deeds are still so sneaky, it doesn't look like she is here to do business, could it be that Yuhong's death has been exposed, and she came here to avoid the capture of the Thundering Ancestor?
After Yuan Ming groaned slightly, he quickly shook his head and flew towards the upper area.
No matter why Yan Sijing came here, it didn't have much to do with him, and at this juncture, he didn't want to have anything to do with the other party.
Yuan Ming followed the map and went straight to the No. 12 Cave Mansion.
This cave is directly excavated on the stone wall, the area is quite large, there are a total of five or six rooms in it, a medicine garden, and it is also equipped with an earth fire room, which can communicate the earth fire and is used for alchemy or refining, which is more complete than the cave opened up by Sha Hao at the beginning.
The aura here is also as introduced by the people of the Spirit Wind Palace, it is extremely rich, far better than all the places he has been in before, and it is not in vain that he has spent so many spirit stones.
Yuan Ming carefully inspected the inside and outside of the cave mansion, and found no abnormalities, so he took out three sets of magic circles and arranged them everywhere.
These three sets of magic circles are the Five Elements Disillusionment Array, the Golden Serpent Entanglement Array, and the Thick Earth Rock Formation.
The Golden Serpent Entanglement Array and the Thick Earth Rock Formation were obtained from Master Lu of the Trapped Sand City.
After he returned to Trap Sand City from the Guiyuanzong Mine Cave, he gave the corpse of the red gold centipede to Master Lu, and Master Lu was in a good mood, and he originally had a good impression of Yuan Ming, so he asked Yuan Ming to choose two sets of magic circles by himself, half of them were sold and half given to Yuan Ming.
Yuan Ming quickly arranged the three sets of magic circles, and then sat down in the cave mansion with peace of mind and rested for a while.
Not long after, Zuo Qinghui also flew over from the lower area, he had already walked around Lingfeng City, understood the situation in the city, and bought a few things that he was still short of impacting the Jiedan.
"In the next period of time, you will guard the customs for me outside, and at the same time, don't delay your own cultivation." Yuan Ming summoned King Kong, Flower Branches, and Thunderstorm, and commanded.
The aura in this cave is so abundant, it is natural to make the best use of it.
King Kong nodded silently.
"Don't worry, master, we will definitely keep a good guard outside and don't let anyone affect you." Hua Zhi patted his chest and said.
Lei Yu also called softly, flapped his wings a few times, and signaled that he understood Yuan Ming's command.
After Zuo Qinghui handed over the things he bought to Yuan Ming, he turned around and left the cave again.
"Won't Zuo Qinghui stay?" Seeing this, Hua Zhi asked.
"It's enough to have you to protect the Fa for me, Zuo Qinghui still needs to do other things." Yuan Ming said.
Huazhi sighed and didn't ask any more.
Yuan Ming instructed the three beasts a few more words, and then took all the things that had been prepared, came to a room with the strongest aura, and closed the life and death pass.
With his current cultivation, he could already completely open up the valley, in order to be able to successfully form a golden pill in one go, he planned not to break through, and he would never step out of this room for half a step.
Now that there are three beast protectors in the cave mansion, Zuo Qinghui, who is controlled by the soul outside, can be flexible and maneuvering, and at the same time pay close attention to the movements of the outside world, so naturally he doesn't have to worry too much.
So Yuan Ming first laid out a set of spirit gathering magic arrays in the house, and after putting in a sufficient amount of spirit stones, he summoned the stealing heaven tripod, placed it aside, and lit a pillar of spiritual incense......
After arranging all the preparations, he returned to the futon and sat down cross-legged, and after taking a pill, he slowly closed his eyes in the green smoke.
