Chapter 14: Apprenticeship II
Wang Chong thought about the affairs of the Shushan world, his brows couldn't help frowning, and the sigh just now made Li Xiuling and the three of them nervous, thinking that Wang Chong was not satisfied with the progress of the three of them's study, and he was worried for a while.
Wang Chong's reaction was also extremely fast, and he hurriedly collected his distracting thoughts, calmed his thoughts, and glanced at the nervous three-person person:
"Learn here today, you memorize the song first, and then explain it to you tomorrow night."
How dare the three of them say more, they hurriedly saluted, and after a salute, they respectfully withdrew.
After the three of them left, Wang Chong's face sank.
The introductory kung fu of cultivating the path and building the foundation is to collect the mind and cut off distracting thoughts, which is to say: the heart is dead and the spirit is alive.
Not to mention that Wang Chong has rebuilt his foundation and cultivated the innate Dao body, even if he has not yet cultivated, with the Dao of the Heavenly Immortals in his previous life, he should not be so indiscriminately thinking and distracting thoughts.
In such a situation, there are only two possibilities: one is that the Taiyi Mixed Yuan Patriarch is about to be robbed, and under the connection of luck, even if there are two multiverses, it still makes him feel something.
There is also a possibility that the demonic intent that Wang Chong thought he had gotten rid of had not been removed, but was only hidden deeper.
As soon as his mind moved, the Yuan Shi Fuli Orb appeared.
Looking at this jewel as bright as a small moon, Wang Chong's expression was a little confused for the first time.
......
In the following days, Li Xiuling and the three would come every night, and Wang Chong also taught the three of them with all his heart.
After half a month like this, the three of them finally understood all the tips preached by Wang Chong and officially began to practice.
And Wang Chong took the time to prepare for a trip to Liyuan City, one was to buy some spiritual valley foundation for the three of them, and the other was to collect some hardware essence and various elixirs to prepare for sword refining in the future.
The hundreds of catties of Linggu left behind after building his foundation were divided among the three of them, and after some careful advice, he left Lijia Village.
Liyuan City is a famous immortal city in Bosa Prefecture, although the permanent population is less than 100,000, but basically all of them are immortal cultivators, and it is jointly controlled by several Jindan major sects and five major chambers of commerce in Bosa Prefecture, known as the safest place in Bosa Prefecture.
It is also a holy place in the hearts of all the scattered cultivators in Bosa Prefecture, but anyone who still has the heart to seek the Tao will try their best to settle down in Liyuan City.
It is not far from the source city at the junction of southern Xinjiang and Chen State, not far from the Five Elements Mountain, not too close, about less than a thousand miles, if you practice to the level of the knot, refine the Five Elements Escape Technique, or refine the sword and turn the rainbow, it is only an hour of incense.
Now Wang Chong's true qi has not changed, and he can only resist the wind for a short time, but it took two days to arrive in Liyuan City.
Looking at the hundred-foot-high city wall, Rao is Wang Chong couldn't help but exclaim even if he was well-informed:
"In terms of immortal energy, this is far from the famous immortal scenery of Yuancheng and Shushan, but in terms of magnificence, among Shushan, there is only the sleepless city of the Qian family, the Ziyun Palace of the South China Sea and the Kunlun Xingzhu Palace of the old demon of the stars can be compared."
Come to think of it, the opening of caves in the Shushan world is mostly created by a monk with profound Taoism and the great power of moving mountains and reclaiming the sea, and the construction of such an immortal city in this world can only be achieved by millions of mortals and tens of thousands of immortal cultivators working together for years or even decades.
The difference is quite large.
handed over a spirit stone to the city patrol guards guarding the gate, and got a waist card engraved with a talisman.
According to the guards, with this waist card, they can stay in the city for a month, and after a month, they must go to the city guard to pay money before they can continue to stay in the city, or directly buy real estate in the city and become a resident of the city, so that they can be exempted from this stay tax.
"Sure enough, people are old and refined, these immortal cultivators have lived a long time, and they have no teacher, and even the capital operation is played by them clearly."
If there is a stay tax, there will naturally be other taxes, plus renting a house or something is definitely an expense, and in the long run, how can those casual exercises afford?
The spirit stones that have been accumulated for a lifetime are either slowly squeezed dry by this trickle of taxes, or they can only take out all the spirit stones and buy a property at one time, and the spirit stones are enough, if the spirit stones are not enough, they can only borrow money, and then sell themselves to others.
No matter what the case may be, these scattered family wealth will eventually flow into the three major factions and the five major chambers of commerce, and even knock the bone and suck the marrow, and even they will become an object of others, and even future generations will not be able to break free.
With such a method, there is really a three-point style of the devil's way.
From this point of view, whether it is those Zhuji families or these big factions, the essence is actually average, but the methods of these big factions and big chambers of commerce are more secretive and more sophisticated.
While observing this so-called fairy city, combined with the introduction of this world in the book, Wang Chong has a deeper understanding of this world.
Walking through the avenue where the city gate was located, as soon as he reached a street corner, six or seven young people in the early stage of Qi cultivation flocked to him.
"It's the first time I've come to Immortal City, do you need a guide?"
One of the young men had the sharpest eyes and came the fastest, and although the rest of the people were a little annoyed, after seeing that the young man had taken the lead, they also stopped and returned to the corner of the street where they had been waiting.
Wang Chong was a little strange and asked with a smile:
"How did you know that Poor Dao Nai was here for the first time?"
The boy saluted and said:
"I don't dare to hide my predecessors, I have lived in Liyuan City since I was a child, although I don't dare to say that I can recognize everyone in the city, but I can also be familiar with most of them, and my predecessors looked at the face, so I took the liberty to come."
Wang Chong was somewhat satisfied with the young man's cleverness, and in a few words, he introduced his origins, and also pointed out that he had lived in this city since he was a child and was capable of serving as a guide.
"It's okay, it just so happens that the poor road needs a lot of spiritual materials, and I don't know how to start, so I'll hire you."
The young man was overjoyed, and saluted again:
"The junior Xu Shutong, I have seen the seniors, and I dare to ask the seniors to call them."
Wang Chong nodded and replied:
"Poor Dao surnamed Wang, but he came to Liyuan City to purchase a large amount of hardware and elixir, or elixir seeds, Xu Xiaoyou can introduce it?"
In fact, Wang Chong looks a little younger than this Xu Shutong, but who made Wang Chong speak old-fashioned, looking like a senior, plus his strong foundation, he can perfectly grasp the true qi, and he does not leak the slightest breath, but it makes people unable to figure out the specific details.
Uncle Xu gave a salute and replied:
"Hardware and gold essence are not rare, Liyuan City is the largest place for the circulation of spiritual materials in the entire Bosa Prefecture, and there is a shop at random, but if the seniors need a large amount, then the juniors recommend the shops of the five major chambers of commerce or the Huoyun Sect."
The five major chambers of commerce are not small, known as the passage of Kyushu, and each chamber of commerce is guarded by a number of great monks of the Yuan infant level, and it is one of the top forces in Kyushu.
As for the Huoyun Sect, it is famous for refining weapons, and the mountain gate is in the territory of Chen State, and it is the most powerful sect in Bosa Prefecture.
Xu Shutong did not introduce some small shops with beautiful corners, which made Wang Chong a little satisfied, and nodded immediately:
"Let's go to the Fire Cloud Sect first."
Xu Shutong hurriedly nodded in agreement, and said after making a gesture of please:
"Senior, please."
Wang Chong nodded and followed Uncle Xu to the center of the city.
