At noon on the ninth day.

Black Rock City is already in sight.

It was a city of cultivating immortals wrapped around the mountainside.

When he was still more than ten miles away from Black Rock City, Chen Ping unloaded his sword and landed on the ground, retracting his flying sword.

Swallowed a Aiki Pill and waited for the spiritual power to recover to ninety percent before continuing to Black Rock City.

The entire Black Rock Castle is made of a black boulder, with a natural cliff as the base of the castle and a mountain around it. Winding like a dragon crouches on the mountainside.

The city is majestic, and the stone cliffs are towering.

From a distance, it looks very majestic.

When Chen Ping approached Black Rock City, he entered Black Rock City very casually with the flow of people, no one investigated, no paperwork, and no link to purchase identity tokens.

No registration is required.

When I entered the city, I found that the decoration of Black Rock City was very special, or it had local characteristics. The walls of houses and streets are hung with various animal heads and skeletons, painted with special patterns.

Many of the streets and houses are full of crushing gravel, potholes, and rocks.

'There are a lot of fights here, and there are traces of battles everywhere. ，

Chen Ping remained vigilant.

When I entered the central street, I found that it was very lively, and the flow of people was very large.

The biggest intuitiveness is just-

- There are a lot of foundations.

Just walked more than 20 meters, and met three foundation building monks.

Among the shops, the medicinal herb shop and the pill medicine shop are the most, with one for each few hundred meters.

There are as many bubble tea shops as there are in the pedestrian streets of the world's major cities.

Most of the shop plaques have the same sign on them - 'Black Rock Gate,'

Chen Ping consulted a few people and found the largest inn in the city.

"Fellow Daoist is new to Black Rock, right? The hotel is not only a large room, but also equipped with a medicated bath to choose from, and there is a special person to serve the bath. Each guest room is equipped with an independent soundproof array and defense array, which is safe and reliable, and no one knows what sound Daoyou makes in the guest room. In addition, there is a stage for dancing girls to show off their dancing posture in the backyard of our store, and there will be a performance recently, and the guest officer will have a good eye." At the end of the shopkeeper's speech, a meaningful smile appeared on his face, but then he returned to seriousness.

Chen Ping didn't know what he was laughing at, he felt inexplicable, and said expressionlessly:

"Settle for one."

Not for anything else, just for this store is the biggest inn.

One room has 1 medium-grade spirit stone per night, which is really expensive beyond the sky.

But there is a reason why it is expensive.

This inn is the property of Black Rock Gate, the guest rooms have formations, and there are two late-stage foundation building formations in the inn, so the safety is guaranteed.

When you are away from home, you are not familiar with the place, and safety is the most important thing.

Chen Ping booked for one night.

"Daoist friends are here to refine the body, right?"

On the way to the guest room, the little servant led Chen Ping to ask cautiously, and seeing that Chen Ping was vigilant, he immediately bent down slightly and said respectfully:

"Fellow Daoists, don't worry, nine out of ten of the foundation building monks who came to Black Rock City came to refine the body. The small ones are also guessed casually."

Chen Ping thought about the little guy in this inn, and estimated that he had seen a lot of cultivators refining bodies, so he must have known something about body refining. Then he took the opportunity to ask:

"How much do you know about the little refining body?"

The little guy grinned:

"The little one has been here for more than ten years, and he has seen thousands of body refining cultivators living in the hotel, so he still knows a little about it."

There was a pause at this point.

Chen Ping understood what he meant, and gave him two low-grade spirit stones:

"Please also ask the little friend to solve your doubts."

The little girl's eyes suddenly lit up, and he put the spirit stone into his cuffs, and his posture became more respectful:

"Fellow Daoists, ask, know everything."

「……」

Black Rock City is under the jurisdiction of Black Rock Gate.

There are more than 10,000 people in the whole city, most of them are monks, and there are monks who build the foundation

Hundreds.

As for how much?

It is not known.

Because of the great mobility of the retreat here, most of the foundation retreats are just used as a temporary habitat for a few years before leaving.

Except for the vendors, there are very few people who are more than 5 years old.

It is also because of the high mobility that it is very difficult to govern, and there are often battles between the scattered cultivators, and many times the Black Rock Gate only opens one eye and closes one eye.

Even demon cultivation.

I can coexist with everyone here.

As long as you are blatant and proclaim that you are a demon cultivator everywhere.

This is something that Chen Ping never dared to think of before.

Of course, what he was most concerned about was the common sense related to the small refining body.

There are three conditions that are required for the small refining body.

One is, flowing clouds and green mountain stones.

The second is the second-order spiritual land.

The third is alchemy.

Liuyun Cuishan Stone is a unique ore in the Western Barbarian Domain, which is used to accelerate the practice of physical training.

The second-order spiritual land is a necessary condition for breaking through the small refining body, or in other words, the richer the spiritual energy, the easier it is to achieve the small refining body.

Of course, this aura must be a special aura spawned by the combination of the Blood Vine Tree and the Liuyun Cuishan Stone, which is only available in the Western Barbarian Domain in the Western Wilderness Region.

The Black Rock Gate can provide second-order spiritual land, or even third-order spiritual land pools.

But it's not free, but like the Lingxiao Sect, you must become a guest or disciple of the Black Rock Sect, and serve the Black Rock Sect for several years.

Otherwise, you can only seek high-level spiritual land.

As for physical training, there is no threshold for this, and flower spirit stones can be bought.

"How many Liuyun Cuishan Stones do you need to build a foundation and refine your body at one time?" Chen Ping asked.

The little guy said enthusiastically:

"How long does it take for Daoist friends to achieve the small refining body? Some monks can't refine their bodies in their lifetime, and some genius monks can refine their bodies in a few months, so they can't generalize. Generally speaking, it usually takes 1,000 catties to refine the body uninterrupted for a year."

Hiss.

Chen Ping couldn't help but gasp.

That's not a small amount.

Again:

"Except for the second-order spiritual land possessed by the Black Rock Gate. Where else can you find such a blessed land?"

"It's easy. Daoists only need to go to the refining shop and ask to know that there is a ready-made atlas there, just follow the map. The little ones haven't been there after all, so they won't talk much." The little guy is respectful.

「……」

"Do you have anything else to ask?"

So, Chen Ping asked the time of a pillar of incense again. I focused on asking some details and doubts, and silently remembered the words of the little guy.

「……」

"Fellow Daoists... If there is anything else to ask, it doesn't hurt to ask." Out of professional ethics, the little guy asked.

It's been an hour, and he doesn't think Chen Ping still has a problem.

Chen Ping smiled:

"Then you're welcome, I do have some questions I want to ask."

When I first arrived, I did have a lot of problems.

"Luckily, this guy is more enthusiastic." … Chen Ping thought to himself.

Servant: ...... This spirit stone is hot!

Finally, I inquired where the fang market was here, and whether anyone collected demon beast meat.

"Daoyou hunted a demon beast on the way here, right?" The little guy laughed, and then realized that he shouldn't ask more, and hurriedly said:

"Fellow Daoists, don't be surprised, there are monks in Black Rock City from time to time, most of them come for long distances, and they will inevitably hunt some demon beasts along the way, which can be regarded as a profit. Not only demon beasts, but many monks will also pick some spiritual materials. Whether it's spiritual materials or demon beasts, there are special shops here to recycle them."

「……」

"Daoist friends can also..., ah, it's nothing, it's not early. Fellow Daoists, farewell."

"Little Friends ,..."

Chen Ping's thank you, before the two words were spoken, the little guy had already disappeared.

After the little guy left, Chen Ping closed the door and checked it

under the guest room.

I have to say that the decoration is really luxurious.

Worthy of the identity of the foundation.

What's more important is that there are independent soundproof arrays and defensive arrays, which is probably the real reason why a mid-grade spirit stone is needed at night.

Formations tend not to come cheap.

Chen Ping arranged the early warning measures according to the usual practice and looked at the sky outside.

It's still early tomorrow.

What does it mean that it is not early?

This little guy doesn't have very good eyes!
