Chapter 11: Tianlingfang City
Yang Xian used his wind control technique to rush to the road, carefully choosing a safe road, and constantly adjusting the direction according to the map. At the same time, during the period of hurrying, he summarized his shortcomings and gains, and prepared for the next cultivation arrangements. This sect's mission seems to have been completed, but it is largely based on luck, and it also has its own advantages. The disadvantage is that the tempering of the mind of the investigation itself is not enough, it is too radical, and the superior psychology of the upper sect is not advisable. Therefore, in the next process of cultivating immortals, you must learn to temper your own mind. There is no such thing as taking things for granted, everything is based on facts, analyzing the situation and making decisions rationally, and their advantage lies in their decisiveness and not dragging their feet. This harvest is huge, and he directly obtains all the mantle inheritance of Li Qinglian, an immortal cultivator, and has the biggest capital of cultivation - the original stone bead, although the original stone bead only has the effect of increasing the spirit of the elixir, but the amplitude can reach 10 times. This makes the growth cycle of the elixir one-tenth of the original, and there is no need to worry about the supply of resources in the later stage. The path of cultivation has been paved, and the next step is to rely on your own efforts.
Yang Xian rushed to the sect without stopping, and compared to when he came, the speed has improved, and it can travel 1,200 miles a day. There was nothing to do all the way, 10 days later, Yang Xian came to the foot of the Spirit Sword Sect Mountain, the Spirit Sword Sect Mountain Gate Array is a third-order high-grade array, covering more than 3,000 miles, and the overall diameter and length are more than 6,000 miles, which is terrifying. So Yang Xian went all the way, Yang Xian took out the identity certificate jade plate to verify the identity of the disciples guarding the mountain, and entered the sect to go to the mission hall to do the handover of the task. After entering the mission hall, Yang Xian silently went to hand over the task, and received 5 lower-grade spirit stones and 2 contribution points from the uncle who managed the task. There are too many disciples in the Spirit Sword Sect who receive tasks like Yang Xian every day, and Yang Xian is just the most ordinary outer disciple, more than 5,000 outer disciples, the task hall is a gathering place, and at other times, it is difficult to meet so many disciples gathering in the Spirit Sword Sect.
Yang Xian also felt happy and proud of being in the Spirit Sword Sect. It is said that more than 1,300 years ago, Jindan Zhenjun Xuanjian Zhenjun founded the Spirit Sword Sect in the gathering place of spirit beasts in the Western Wilderness Forest, and has experienced more than 1,300 years of fighting with spirit beasts, experienced the test of blood and fire, and has faced the crisis of spirit beast extinction many times, experienced countless hard battles, and has come to this day step by step.
The Spirit Sword Sect has a peak of 5,000 zhang is the Spirit Sword Peak, like a spirit sword that soars into the sky, the Spirit Sword Peak has a third-order high-grade spiritual vein, and there are 7 3,000-zhang peaks around it are the Foreign Affairs Peak, the Internal Affairs Peak, the Alchemy Peak, the Refining Instrument Peak, the Spirit Rune Peak, the Spirit Beast Peak, and the Spirit Array Peak. Each of the seven peaks is under the control of a Jindan stage elder, and the Spirit Sword Peak is the place where the elders of the Jindan stage and above are cultivating, and the aura is extremely strong. In addition to the 8 peaks, the surrounding peaks are the cultivation places of the sect deacons in the foundation building period, and generally the closer to the eight peaks, the higher the peaks, the more sufficient the spiritual energy.
Immortal cultivators in the foundation building period can each have an independent mountain within the scope of the sect's great array, and once they reach the foundation building period, they will automatically become deacons and become the backbone of the sect. The mountainsides of the 7 major peaks are the cultivation places of the disciples of each peak, and these disciples are generally the inner disciples or true disciples of the Qi refining period of each peak. The outer disciples and some miscellaneous disciples of mortal immortal cultivation are at the foot of the 7 Great Peaks Mountain Range, and the miscellaneous disciples of mortal immortal cultivation are generally not included in the category of disciples of the Spirit Sword Sect, but because mortals without spiritual roots are generally direct relatives of the families of the sect's immortal cultivators, or they are the descendants of the immortal cultivators, and the ancestors of the spiritual sword sect's immortal cultivators with spiritual roots, these mortals settled down on the periphery of the Spirit Sword Sect's large array to form a mortal settlement, and these mortals are an important source of disciples for the sect. Among these mortal descendants, the probability of producing immortal cultivators with spiritual roots will be relatively large.
In addition, in order to facilitate the disciples of the sect to have various activities and transactions in the sect, near the gate of the sect, that is, at the foot of the entire Lingjian Sect, seven halls corresponding to the seven peaks of the Lingjian Sect were set up, of which the external affairs hall and the internal affairs hall were the largest, and the densely populated places like the sect task were all in the external affairs hall, like the sect recruitment, internal competitions, and distribution, and other internal affairs were handled in the internal affairs hall, and the internal affairs hall was generally not open to subordinate families and other sects, but the external affairs hall could. For example, receiving visitors from other sects, talks, etc., are held in the Foreign Affairs Hall. The other five halls correspond to their respective elixirs, magic weapons, talismans, spirit beasts, formations, and the handling of these affairs, and the scale is slightly smaller than the external hall and the internal affairs hall, so that the division is convenient for the orderly exchange of sect disciples, and many first-grade and second-grade sect families are imitating the establishment of the third-grade sect of the Spirit Sword Sect, and the Spirit Sword Sect is said to be imitated by the behemoths such as the four-grade and five-grade sects.
At the same time, in order to ensure the smooth communication between the disciples of each peak, the foot of the seven peaks corresponds to the corresponding halls, such as the Foreign Affairs Hall, the Alchemy Hall, etc., as well as many other affairs halls. These venues are all at the foot of their respective mountain peaks, which further facilitates various exchanges between disciples.
Theoretically, the disciples of the Spirit Sword Sect come from all the people in the entire sect within 30,000 li, but the main source is the mortals within a radius of 1,000-2,000 miles near the mountain gate and a very small number of disciples of the Immortal Cultivation Family, because there is basically no family or sect power within 1,000-2,000 miles of the outer part of the sect's large array, so the location of the largest Tianlingfang City in the Spirit Sword Sect is also within this range. The closer to the Spirit Sword Sect, the fewer sects, the more families, the closer to the periphery, the more sects, the fewer families, the big sect families have people, and the small sect families also need people, in order to avoid conflicts and facilitate personnel management, everyone acquiesces to the principle of proximity to recruit disciples, and special circumstances are not included.
Having said that, the Spirit Sword Sect has opened the mountain gate widely, even mortals who have cultivated immortals against the sky can join the Spirit Sword Sect to become miscellaneous disciples, they can accept the tasks of the sect, and their status is equivalent to that of the outer disciples, but there is no monthly spirit stone moon service. After all, there are a few immortals who are against mortals, and many mortals are better than struggling in the immortal cultivation world and becoming cannon fodder, but rather in the secular world for a lifetime. Some of the very few people who are strong-willed, who have an organic fate, who are taken care of by the immortal cultivators, and who believe that combining with the immortal cultivators can increase the chance of the spiritual root of the offspring, are still insisting.
Mortals cultivating against the sky is also an eternal topic in the world of cultivating immortals, there are always those who do not believe in fate, the connection between mortals and immortal cultivators cannot be severed, mortals are the cornerstone of immortal cultivators, and they need to be paid attention to, and the number of mortals far exceeds that of immortal cultivators. Although the base of these anti-mortal cultivators is large, the success is very rare, almost the probability of one out of 100,000, and it is difficult for mortals to cultivate immortals.
To get back to the point, when Yang Xian finished handing over the task of the sect, and then went to the internal affairs hall to register his cultivation for promotion, because the moon worship in the middle stage of qi refining rose from 1 spirit stone to 2 spirit stones, which doubled, and if it was the moon worship in the late stage of qi refining, it doubled again, reaching 4 spirit stones. I heard that the deacons in the foundation building period started with at least 10 spirit stones, and there are other sources. Further up, the Jindan period, it is not something that Yang Xian can know, and he has never heard of it.
Returned to the residence of the outer disciples, a small wooden house at the foot of the mountain where the Spirit Sword Peak extended, there was a layer of prohibition on it, and the jade plate of the sect was the key to its own prohibition, and these single-family cabins were the standard configuration of the outer disciples. After entering his own cabin, Yang Xian lay directly on the bed, falling asleep, after a day and a night of rest, Yang Xian felt exhausted, and his divine thoughts also recovered a little, the immortal road is long, there are countless difficulties and obstacles, and he must seize the time to cultivate.
Now that he has the original stone space, he has a huge elixir production base, especially the various medicinal materials of the Qi refining period and the Zhuji Dan in the original stone space are the two most important pills at present, even if he hands over the spirit grass elixir to other alchemists for refining, he will not rest assured, he will still become an alchemist, so that he can be self-sufficient like Li Qinglian, and he will not reveal the secrets of the original stone space, and he has been working hard to become an alchemist a long time ago, because the alchemist is very popular, This has always made Yang Xian envious, and immortal cultivators take Dan as the sky.
Yang Xian has already made arrangements on the Alchemy Peak, and I believe that he will be able to become an alchemy boy soon. Now it's time to start your own cultivation. This sect mission took more than 30 days, and he still had nearly two months left plus another three months of not doing the task, and there were nearly five months to cultivate, and all the spirit stones currently added up to 116, Li Qinglian left 106 pieces, 5 sect tasks, and 5 Zhou family, so many spirit stones are simply a little rich, and they can be luxurious.
The spirit stone is formed by the convergence of heaven and earth aura, the spirit stone contains a rich heaven and earth aura, is the common currency of immortal cultivators, generally divided into, lower, middle, upper, and best four kinds, Yang Xian has cultivated so far, and has not owned a medium-grade spirit stone, generally speaking, the exchange ratio of the spirit stone between each grade is 1:100, but the high-grade spirit stone is very rare, and the exchange ratio often exceeds 1:100. Because of its particularity, spirit stones can be used in the cultivation of immortal cultivators, alchemy, arrays, talisman making, etc., so the spirit stones are very scarce and scarce. As a three-grade sect, the Spirit Sword Sect has a medium-sized spirit stone vein within the coverage of the large array, which can mine 500,000 lower-grade spirit stones every year, and there are many medium-grade spirit stones, and even sometimes it can mine high-grade spirit stones, and there are more than ten small spirit stone veins outside the large array, all of which are guarded by sect cultivators, and 50,000 spirit stones can be mined every year, and sometimes medium-grade spirit stones can be mined. The spirit stones mined by the Spirit Sword Sect from the spirit stone veins every year are enough to meet all the needs of the Spirit Sword Sect. At the same time, there are also protection fees for the subordinate first-grade sect family and second-grade sect families every year, and these protection fees are paid every 10 years, as well as various commercial operations of the Spirit Sword Sect, which finally supported the behemoth of the Spirit Sword Sect.
Spirit stone is a consumable, where do so many spirit stones come from, the answer is the spirit stone vein, the spirit stone vein can be derived from the spirit stone vein in a steady stream, the premise is not to be damaged, a medium-grade spirit stone vein is enough to support thousands of years of mining, generally the great god cultivators will give the spirit stone vein array to nourish, so that the spirit stone vein mining will be more stable, it is possible to last for tens of thousands of years, as the foundation of the sect. The consumption of spirit stones by immortal cultivators is very terrifying, if the spirit stone veins are not protected by cultivation, since the beginning of cultivating immortals, the immortal cultivation world has long been non-existent due to the shortage of resources, and the protection measures of spirit stone veins are very rebellious, which shows that the divine power of immortal cultivators is extraordinary.
In addition to relying on the spirit stone vein, the spirit stone cannot be generated out of thin air, but it has been consumed, the number of spirit stones mined every year is fixed, and the spirit stones flowing out of the immortal cultivation world every year are also about the same, which leads to the spirit stone as a transaction currency is very stable and reliable, but it is not enough, this is a consumable. The scarcity of spirit stones has led to the exceptionally high value of spirit stones.
Yang Xian had 116 spirit stones on his body, which was considered rich among low-level Qi refining immortal cultivators. Yang Xian believes that wealth must be transformed into strength, this is a real thing, if you die, it will not help to have empty wealth. This is probably the truth that most other monks believe.
With spirit stones, if you want to buy things, of course the first choice is Tianlingfang City, although Yang Xian currently has spirit stones in his hands, but there are a lot of bad things, pills, talismans, magic weapons, by the way, magic weapons, isn't there a black iron block magic weapon in the storage ring? Yang Xian's heart moved, and he took out this black iron block. Yang Xian took a closer look, this black iron block turned out to be in the shape of a heavy sword, the surface was black, Yang Xian was about to pick up this heavy sword, but found that he couldn't hold it, Yang Xian was suddenly surprised, after three meridian baptisms, he couldn't hold this sword, and his arm strength was 1000 catties! Yang Xian's hands joined forces with the help of spiritual power, and he reluctantly picked up this black iron block, this black iron block gradually changed color on the surface under the input of spiritual power, and finally the black disappeared, turning into a gray-white sword body, and the hilt of the sword was also integrated, and the sword body read: Qinglian Battle Sword, Yang Xian opened his memory again, it seemed that Li Qinglian was holding this sword when he killed the Zhuji Ghost Cultivator. Yang Xian immediately understood that this Qinglian battle sword in his hand was Li Qinglian's standard magic weapon, this Qinglian battle sword was as wide as an adult's palm, six feet long, and weighed 2,196 catties. Yang Xian preliminarily estimated that all his current strength, physical strength plus spiritual power should be 2,000 catties in total. Yang Xian was helpless against this Qinglian Battle Sword, and at the same time, Yang Xian found that this Qinglian Battle Sword was actually a low-grade magic weapon, but he couldn't use it at all, and now it was only suitable as a collector's item. He still lacks magic weapons, and after Yang Xian understood his needs, he still decided to go to Tianlingfang City and buy them.
So Yang Xian left his residence and came to the mountain gate to show his identity jade card, checked it, and then left the large array and rushed to Tianlingfang City. Going to Tianlingfang City, which is more than 1,000 miles away from the outside of the formation, Yang Xian is already familiar with the way. The journey to Tianlingfang City is extremely safe, and it is basically a gathering place for mortal families, with a depth of more than 1,000 miles, and enough space for mortals to survive.
The Spirit Sword Sect is the largest financier of Tianlingfang City, and the disciples of the Foreign Affairs Peak of the Spirit Sword Sect maintain the order of the Fang City, the Fang City is not only very large, but also very safe, the first-grade and second-grade sects and families within the scope of the Spirit Sword Sect have sharpened their heads and squeezed into the Tianlingfang City, if they can occupy a place in the Tianlingfang City, then the family or sect will have a stable and important source of income. Tianlingfang City is mixed with dragons and snakes, scattered cultivators, sects, family disciples, and even disciples of major sects other than the Spirit Sword Sect will come here, these people's cultivation is uneven, there are mortals, there are qi cultivators, there are foundation cultivators, and even Jindan period overhauls, but the Jindan period overhaul is generally to participate in the fifty-year large-scale auction to see its immortal traces, small auctions are not eye-catching. Generally in the Fang Market, the highest cultivation is just a cultivator in the foundation building period.
There are many immortal cultivators in the Qi refining period like Yang Xian, and when he came to the gate of Tianlingfang City, Yang Xian paid a piece of spirit stone and entered the Fang City, which made Yang Xian's flesh hurt, and every time he sighed, this entry fee was really a bit expensive. Yang Xian came directly to the trading place of loose cultivation as usual, instead of going to the Danfang shop opened by the sect or family, his level was still too low, because those Danfang shops were a gold cave, and the things in it were very good, but the price was also high, if he had a spirit stone, he was also willing to choose a regular Danfang shop, after all, it was safe and secure, and the quality was good, and there would be no cheating.
And the trading market of casual cultivation is different, all kinds of situations may exist, here is a stall of casual cultivation, a day of spirit stone (no special instructions, spirit stones refer to the lower grade spirit stone), here, there is the behemoth of the Spirit Sword Sect to maintain order, there is no blind casual cultivation will ask for hardship, everyone is following the principle of voluntariness, both money and goods, no matter afterwards, buy fakes, and you are also at a loss.
When Yang Xian first came, he was cheated when he bought the pill to improve his cultivation from Sanxiu. With lessons learned, growth is fast. Yang Xian mainly bought weapons and pill talismans this time, the weapons were destroyed by refining corpses, the pills had to meet his 5 months of cultivation, and his net worth was now considered rich, if the wealth of the original stone space was counted, it would be astronomical, but Yang Xian couldn't use the slightest. The medicinal materials in the Primordial Stone Space are extremely precious, and now their cultivation is too low, and once they are not handled properly, they can easily lead to death. Yang Xian was turning around in the casual cultivation trading market, and he was immune to all kinds of bargaining and all kinds of strange things, and Yang Xian saw a tall black face and a tall casual cultivator man selling an inconspicuous stone to an ordinary young man wearing a sect costume, and the ordinary young man was stunned. Yang Xian looked at this situation, it was almost the same as when he first came, this young man spent 2 spirit stones to buy this stone, and the flower spirit stone can only grow after buying a lesson, all of which are like this, which does not rule out that this young man found out that this stone is a treasure and deliberately came to pick up the leak, as for who loses and who earns, only he knows.
