On the way, he had to pass through the capital of the Tang Dynasty, Ye Xing took a detour directly, he had no need for the city, and in the capital of the Tang Dynasty, there must be extremely powerful top masters, and Ye Xing's hidden exercises were not necessarily so reliable.

The flying eagles of the two beast king levels accompanied them in the air, which was really shocking, Ye Xing didn't think about it, so he turned directly to Zhongnan Mountain, and kept the two eagles away from his sight.

When he arrived at Zhongnan Mountain and learned about it, Ye Xing understood a little that although the level of scattered cultivation was low, it was concentrated here, but it was conducive to communication and exchange, and it was also conducive to grouping.

It is impossible for a person to achieve anything by confined to one place to practice, and it requires appropriate exercises, a large amount of materials, and even more so exchanges and exchanges.

In fact, the casual cultivation here is really not stupid, in fact, it is extremely shrewd, and the slightest point of guidance from others may allow you to avoid detours and save years or decades of penance.

The Tang Dynasty is a country that greatly encourages and treats monks preferentially, and Zhongnan Mountain is very close to the capital, in fact, there is a state secretly guaranteeing and maintaining order, and it is not a wild place that is unmanaged, after all, the power of monks is an important part of the country's strength.

Ye Xing's arrival is very ordinary, countless people come every day, and many people leave.

Ye Xing condensed his aura to the fifth layer of the Qi Refining Period, and he was an ordinary middle and low-level cultivator, wandering in the mountains and getting acquainted with a lot of loose cultivators.

There is no power on Zhongnan Mountain, all of them are casual cultivators, and murder and robbery are very rare, because here is actually a master of the Tang Dynasty who has sent a master to maintain order here, which can be regarded as leaving a piece of heaven and earth for the low-level casual cultivators of the Tang Dynasty.

The large and small sects of the Tang Dynasty, tens of thousands of Xiuzhen families will also come here from time to time to find some potential people and recruit them to become their own disciples, which is why the scattered cultivators want to come here, because the place where one step to the sky is the so-called shortcut to the south.

If the qualifications are really outstanding, they will wait here until the day they come out; If you don't have qualifications, you can also exchange some resources with people when you come here, or exchange experiences.

On the first day of every month, according to the tradition of the Tang Dynasty cultivators, a trade fair will be held on Zhongnan Mountain, and it is also the day when people from the large and small sects of the Tang Dynasty come to choose their disciples.

There were still seven days before the trade fair of Zhongnan Mountain, Ye Xing asked the two birds to fly to a place far away from here to move, and he found a cave that had been inhabited by people, and simply repaired it and stayed.

Ye Xing pretended to be a low-level little monk, of course, he didn't know any formations or anything like that, he just made a door out of wood, the cave was extremely simple, and he was extremely weak and incompetent.

Ye Xing went out every day to chat with the nearby monks and understand the situation here clearly.

It turns out that here in Zhongnan Mountain, the trade fair held every three months is a big gathering of the Tang Dynasty's loose cultivation, in essence, it is actually an opportunity for the Li family of the Tang Dynasty to use this as an excuse to gather some folk monks.

Anyone with potential will be recruited by the Li family, and then filled into the Li family's family cultivators, and then after cultivating successfully, they will be allowed to join the Li family's army.

The more powerful monks will become the offerings of the Li family, this offering is from the first, second, to ninth levels, the higher the level, the higher the treatment, and the high-level offerings are better than the Li family's own descendants.

In addition, a large number of descendants of the Li family practice in various sects of the Tang Dynasty, so in fact, all the forces of the Tang Dynasty are entangled, and it is precisely because of this method that the Li family has been holding the power of the Tang Dynasty for tens of thousands of years.

For example, more than ten years ago, the Holy Spirit Sect's extremely secret sect catastrophe was unknown to others, but the high-level of the Tang Imperial Family received a detailed report on the situation on the fifth day, which shows how tightly the Li family's forces control everything in the Tang Dynasty.

Of course, Ye Xing couldn't inquire about this kind of extremely secret situation, but his understanding of Datang's system made him understand that the huge power of the Li family in Datang was so terrifying, and he tried not to touch it.

Last time, the three major sects of the Tang Dynasty challenged the Tianxing Kingdom Sect, the Li family did not make a move, nor did they participate, but it was obviously promoted by the Li family, of course, the Holy Spirit Sect was also the main force, and the other two were involved, but they were really not so enthusiastic, after all, it had little to do with the True Yang Sect and Haotianmen.

The Li family has an army of tens of thousands of monks, which is extremely terrifying, although the main members are still low-level monks, and they are not much stronger than the army composed of people who practice martial arts, but the three major sects probably do not have such forces.

The 100,000 Tang army was beaten to death on the spot by the advanced weapons of the Heavenly Star Army, and the army of monks was not much better than the Heavenly Star Army.

The reason why the Li family has been holding their troops and not retaliating is because he is afraid that the strength of the Celestial Star Army will be enough to inflict a devastating blow on his army of monks, so he has endured it.

Every monk has a huge amount of resources, and it is heart-wrenching to lose one.

Over the years, of course, Datang has obtained the design of the guns of the Tianxing Army, but without high-efficiency explosive formulas and extremely high-performance machine tools, they can't make that kind of high-end weapons, in fact, their guns can only fight ordinary beasts, and they are useless against monks and spirit beasts.

In addition to chatting and inquiring about everything in Datang, Ye Xing actually wanted to exchange cultivation experiences with these people, which was very useful.

How did these loose cultivators come about, it is very simple, that is, they have obtained some cultivation exercises, no matter how they are obtained, then these exercises must be valuable, this is what Ye Xing values.

Sure enough, the exchange of experience with these monks has given Ye Xing a lot more knowledge, such as the method of removing distracting thoughts in qi refining, the skills of true qi application, etc., although no one will tell anything about the secrets of the exercises, but some applications and skills can be exchanged.

Ye Xing himself was also very generous and told a lot of his experience, so that he immediately won the favor of many people.

The cultivation of these people was low, and under the observation of Ye Xing's divine sense, all of them could not hide their minds, so he could get real cultivation knowledge and experience.

Ye Xing has no interest in the exercises, it is foolish to change the cultivation exercises, and it is also extremely dangerous, all kinds of application techniques are different, they do not involve the exercises, they are just the methods used, and everyone is not so disadvantaged.

On the seventh day, the trade fair of Zhongnan Mountain was held, and in a large valley of Zhongnan Mountain, Ye Xing came early in the morning with a large group of scattered cultivators.

Many people sit on the ground, set up a small booth, take out the items they want to exchange, arrange them neatly, and let the passers-by come to exchange.

Ye Xing looked over from one stall to another, his vision was very fine and his vision was very high, and he didn't see what he wanted.

Finally came to a teenager's stall, saw a few pieces of paper on sale, Ye Xing picked it up and looked at it carefully, and drew strange words on a piece of papyrus paper like a ghost drawing, this period of communication, I already know that it is a kind of cultivation item.

This is the so-called talisman, which can help the monk's own ability to supplement, that is, a kind of life-saving utensils.

Ye Xing didn't know much about the talisman, but he had heard of it, when he attacked the monk of the True Yang Sect that time, the Jindan monk who escaped used a high-level instantaneous teleportation talisman and escaped ten miles away in a very short time.

Compared with the teleportation array, the teleportation charm is much more convenient, although the highest-level teleportation talisman can only be transmitted for more than ten miles, and it is also a one-time consumable, but this thing is too convenient, it does not need to be arranged, it can be used at any time, this is the real life-saving item.

Ye Xing used a low-level spirit stone to take a few of these so-called tranquilizing talismans, which, according to the young man, could calm his mind and strengthen his courage when he encountered evil things.

There was no time to check these talismans, Ye Xing wanted to go back to his residence and study them carefully.

At noon, the Tang Li family and some small sect directors came, and they set up simple stalls and banners in an open space in the venue.

Many people went to apply, Ye Xing took a look in front of the stall of the Li family of the Tang Dynasty, and there was a long line of people lined up.

Ye Xing left because he didn't want to join the Li family or any sect, it was completely unnecessary.

Those who can be lucky to be selected and look at the opportunity to join the sect are extremely excited, which is really enviable, almost one step to the sky, and suddenly become a member of the Li family, if you succeed in cultivation in the future, you will get ahead.

This is exactly what the casual cultivators are looking forward to the most, because it is too difficult to retreat, and with this shortcut to the south, they can have a little more protection for their cultivation, which is really very important.
