Changzhou City.

It was not much different from the secular cities he had seen before.

The walls are all made of bricks and stones, and in this world where great power is concentrated in itself, the symbolism is far greater than the actual meaning.

At the city gate, the people who come and go are all mundane mortals.

But as soon as he stepped into the city, he was keenly aware of something different.

In this city, the aura seems to be ...... A little richer than the outside world?

Chu Mu was slightly stunned, a little unsure.

The divine sense probed, and he carefully perceived that the aura in Changzhou City was really slightly richer than that of the outside world.

It's about 30% richer.

"Spiritual veins?"

Chu Mu was puzzled, before he came, he had already inquired clearly, the layout of the Immortal Sect in the Lingmaifang City in the northern frontier, this is not a secret, just spend some spirit stones, you can buy a detailed map.

And in this Changzhou City, I haven't heard of any spiritual veins, and Fang City exists.

He looked at it for a moment, and the traces of the forbidden formation were clearly reflected in the divine sense.

In this Changzhou City, there is actually a spirit gathering formation!

Merely...... This formation......

Chu Mu's expression was a little strange.

The most important function of the Spirit Gathering Array is to gather the spiritual energy that overflows between heaven and earth.

According to common sense, the gathering array gathers the spiritual energy, and it is natural to isolate it with the forbidden array to prevent the gathered spiritual energy from leaking out again, so as to better meet the cultivation of immortal cultivators.

But this is not the case with the Spirit Gathering Array in Changzhou City.

It's not so much a spirit gathering array as a spirit gathering core.

It's just that the aura near Changzhou City is gathered in Changzhou, and there is no other effect.

It's just that it's so congregated...... What's the use?

Walking around the city, Chu Mu's expression became more and more strange.

The biggest beneficiary of such a gathering arrangement seems to be the secular people of Changzhou City.

The spirit gathering core gathers the surrounding aura, and does not isolate the aura, day after day gathering, overflowing, the aura of the entire Changzhou City is rich, and it is naturally much richer than the outside world.

The secular people living in Changzhou City, living under such a concentration of aura for a long time, their bodies, life span, and even future generations will naturally benefit.

It's just that......

Immortals doing good deeds?

Chu Mu was a little unconvinced, although a spirit gathering array forbidden, although it didn't require many spirit stone resources, but a high-ranking immortal cultivator would waste resources on this mortal for no reason?

He stopped in the street, his eyes fixed on a carriage that was slowly approaching not far away.

The five horse-drawn carriages, as well as the inspection and opening of the road, were obviously some secular officials in this Changzhou County.

His consciousness moved slightly, and the gathered consciousness was like a beam of light, and in an instant, it disappeared into the carriage, enveloping a middle-aged man sitting in it.

It was like peeling off a cocoon, just a few breaths, and the memory of his sea of consciousness was clear in his divine perception.

"I see......"

The carriage drove by, and Chu Mu muttered to himself, having some understanding.

Judging from the memories I just flipped through, it seems that such a gathering scene in Changzhou City is not a special case.

This is true in all counties in northern Xinjiang, where the population has reached a certain size.

Every few years, the Immortal Sect will also send disciples to test the spiritual roots of young children in various places.

Those with excellent spiritual root qualifications will all be admitted to the Immortal Sect as disciples.

From this point of view, it is obviously normal to prohibit such a gathering of spirits.

After all, the sect is different from the family, and the inheritance of the family lies in the children of the family.

And the sect is inclusive.

Northern Xinjiang is the self-reserved land of the Immortal Sect, and it is normal to put a little effort into it.

A simple gathering array forbidden, over the course of a year, will only consume more than a dozen lower-grade spirit stones in the sky.

However, it can enhance the cultivation environment of Northern Xinjiang as a whole, and it can also make the fresh blood of the Immortal Sect more and wider.

After all, such a thing as Linggen is destined by heaven is uncertain.

Although both husband and wife have spiritual roots, and the offspring born have a high chance of having spiritual roots, this is only a chance, not an absolute.

There's always a contingency!

With the huge base of secular mortals, this kind of eventuality will naturally be infinitely magnified.

The way the Immortal Sect casts such a wide net, the existence of the Immortal Cultivation Realm, it is obviously impossible for the secular mortals in the Northern Frontier to be an untouchable secret.

"So that's ...... On this side of the Northern Frontier, the Immortal Cultivation Realm should be different......"

Chu Mu thought to himself, just for a moment, he didn't dwell too much, like this, it seemed to be a good thing for him.

If Elder Li really wanted to withdraw from the immortal cultivation realm and live in seclusion, it would be impossible for him to settle in this kind of city that was extended by the tentacles of the Immortal Sect.

The biggest possibility may be to live in seclusion in a secluded place like the old man in Qili Village at the beginning.

His mind flowed, and he seemed to wander around the city of Changzhou aimlessly, until sunset, when he could get out of the city.

In the next few months, Chu Mu wandered around the entire Changzhou County aimlessly.

There are 28 counties in Changzhou County, perhaps because of the desolation factor in northern Xinjiang, and the area of Changzhou County is several times larger than that of the counties in the south.

The area is vast, but Chu Mu is almost three feet into the ground.

Everywhere I go, the first thing is to check the memories of people of local status.

Although the Soul Searching technique will cause damage to the soul searcher, the root cause of this damage lies in the instinctive resistance of the soul of the soul searcher.

And he searched for mortals, the gap was too big and too big, and he couldn't talk about the slightest resistance, as if he was in a no-man's land, he couldn't talk about harm, and it was impossible to detect it.

If he wanted to, he only needed to move his mind, plant a slave seal, or even distort his memory and change his mind, it was all easy.

The boundary of immortals is undoubtedly terrifying.

In this way, Chu Mu's search progress is obviously fast.

After all, Li Lao Nai is an immortal cultivator, even if he is determined to return to the world, but the essence of an immortal cultivator cannot change.

If you settle in one place, it is impossible not to leave a trace.

Especially according to what the man said, Li Lao is ready to marry a wife and have children, and pin his hopes on future generations, so the movement must be not small.

Shitang County.

A hundred households patted their heads in a daze, as if they were puzzled by his own distraction in broad daylight.

On the side of the street, Chu Mu's divine sense was withdrawn, and his face was obviously strange.

"The old tree blooms, and there are eight ...... in a row"

This is an interesting thing that happened in Shitang County more than ten years ago in the memory of those hundred households.

In Tongyou Village, Shitang County, there is an old man, who is said to have wandered outside in his early years, and now he is old, and he has accumulated a lot of wealth and returned to his hometown.

Such a thing, according to common sense, is a peace of mind.

But this old man didn't play his cards according to common sense, and even accepted eight concubines, all of whom were beautiful girls......

This kind of thing, this Shitang County, is undoubtedly an interesting thing that people talk about.

But this kind of thing seems to be obvious to any immortal cultivator who falls into the ears of any immortal cultivator.

In the world of cultivating immortals, you can see immortal cultivators who despair of their immortal path, give up their immortal path, return to the world, marry a wife and reproduce, and then pin their hopes on future generations.

After all, if you want to find a Taoist companion in the immortal cultivation world, it is not an easy task for ordinary immortal cultivators.

But the worldly, apparently, is different.

This kind of flowering of old trees, coupled with the allusion of returning home when you are old, you don't have to think about it to know that it must be a secluded immortal cultivator.

"Tongyou Village ......"

His eyes moved slightly, and he took one step at a time, followed by Wangcai beside him.

Dozens of miles away, for him, is just a moment's work.

A mountain village surrounded by mountains comes into view, and the houses in the mountains stretch out, all of which are ordinary mountain village houses.

But outside the village, there is a mansion covering an area of several acres, which is very conspicuous.

Merely......

Chu Mu stood in the sky, frowning.

In the field of vision, this mansion is now full of filial piety, white flags, and paper money flying.

He landed in the Sky Dome, and his divine sense had invaded the mansion.

In the hall, a group of men and women in filial piety knelt down and wailed, and in the coffin, the corpses were lifelike.

He looked at the corpse, and the old face of the corpse coincided perfectly with the face in his memory.

The divine consciousness was withdrawn, and Chu Mu was stunned in the field, not moving.

"Hey!"

In the end, he let out a long sigh, and when he spit out a mouthful of turbid air, it was already difficult to hide his sigh.

Life and death, he didn't see too much.

Too many years are in their prime, and the immortal path is prosperous, and they suddenly fall, the soul is extracted, and the flesh and blood are refined into spiritual materials, too many, too many to count.

At the end of his life, Li Lao Neng gave birth to a bloodline heir, enjoyed the joy of family, and died like this......

For an immortal cultivator, it may also be a rare blessing.

This should be considered a ...... Joy and sorrow!

"Let's go, go and worship."

He waved his hand, in a state of interest.

One person and one dog, under the effect of the law of concealment, if no one walked into the mansion, the guests and hosts in the house, and the subordinates all turned a blind eye.

Until the middle of the hall, Chu Mu bowed respectfully.

After several visits, he looked at the people in the hall who were kneeling down and wailing.

Most of them were women, and among them were three children of different ages, kneeling in the hall in ignorance, at a loss.

His eyes wandered, and he looked at the middle-aged man who looked like a housekeeper, and his divine sense invaded, and his memory of the sea of consciousness was unobstructed.

From more than ten years ago, Li Lao returned here, built a mansion, married a wife and took a concubine, this man is also the housekeeper of the Li Mansion, and has worked so far.

Memories flipped upside down, and he didn't miss the slightest.

A quarter of an hour passed before he slowly retracted his senses, and his gaze wandered, and finally fixed on the children in the hall.

Judging from the memory, these three children are the heirs left by Li Lao over the years......
