Chapter 35: Jinshafang City

"Jinshafang City" is located on Jinxia Mountain in the south of the Baisha River Oasis, less than 500 miles away from the base camp of the Chen family in Baihuoling.

At the beginning, there was a third-order low-grade natural spiritual vein on Jinxia Mountain, and later, as the scale of "Jinshafang City" became larger and larger, the Chen family spent a huge amount of money to upgrade its spiritual vein grade to a third-order upper grade.

The aura emitted by the third-order high-grade spiritual veins is enough to meet the needs of several foundation building period monks and hundreds of qi cultivation period monks at the same time, so up to now, the number of resident immortal cultivators in "Jinshafang City" alone has exceeded five hundred, and there are even more than hundreds of various shops in Fang City.

As the only immortal cultivator market within a radius of tens of thousands of miles, there are immortal cultivators who come to the "Jinshafang City" every day to buy or sell cultivation resources, and this square market alone collects thousands of spirit stones every year.

Someone once calculated that not counting the spirit stones earned by the Chen family's self-operated shops every year, just the annual rent paid by the shops and cultivation caves in the "Jinshafang City", as well as the "poll tax" paid by the monks entering and leaving the Fang City, could provide the Chen family with a net income of one or two thousand spirit stones.

Such a large amount of income, of course, is easy to attract people's attention, so in order to protect this "golden rooster" that lays eggs, the Chen family not only arranged a fourth-order lower grade formation in the Fang Market, but also has more than three Chen family foundation building period monks stationed in it all year round.

With three foundation building period monks stationed there, coupled with the law enforcement team formed by the Chen family in Fang City, even if there are Purple Mansion period monks or fourth-order demon beasts attacking, they can resist for several hours with the help of formations, and persist until Chen Yaohui and Chen Laozu, who are sitting in the White Camel Ridge, come to the rescue.

Zhou Yang left the Chen family's pick-up point, and after riding the Shatuo Beast for another day, he came to the outside of this Fang City, which was shrouded in formation clouds and mist.

There is a Chen family monk outside the Fang City who is responsible for collecting the "poll tax", and every time the monk stays in the Fang City for more than 10 days in the later stage of Qi training, he will have to pay an additional detention fee for a lower grade spirit stone, and less than 10 days will be charged according to the cost of a lower grade spirit stone.

However, the Zhou family is an ally family of the Chen family, and the monks of the Zhou family only need to pay one-third of the "poll tax" when they enter the Fang City.

Zhou Yang was not sure how long he would stay in Fang City, so he first paid the fee for a year, and then slowly walked into the Fang City in the mist with his payment certificate, a fine iron token with a special mark.

Xianjiafang City, of course, is very different from the towns established by ordinary mortals.

After Zhou Yang entered the Fang City, he found that the inside of the Fang City, which looked cloudy from the outside, was actually a spiritual mountain hundreds of meters high, with many pavilions on the mountain, and the treasure light rushed into the sky, and all kinds of magnificent and gorgeous palaces, attics, and pagodas were located on the same mountain, exuding all kinds of dazzling spiritual light to attract the monks from all directions to go to it.

Day or night, it makes no difference to this Xianjiafang city.

"My Zhou family's [Yuquan Building] is there. ”

Zhou Yang stood at the foot of the mountain and watched for a while, only then did he find the "Yuquan Building" operated by himself among the many pavilions.

This "Yuquan Building" is located on the mountainside of Fangshi by a waterhole, the whole building is as high as seven zhang, all of them are built with a hundred years of iron and wood, the building is divided into three floors, the lower two floors sell the magic vessels, pills, spiritual runes and other things refined by the monks of the Zhou family, and the upper layer is used to receive distinguished guests.

At the beginning, the Chen family gave two shops to the Zhou family, one was the "Yuquan Building", and the other was called the "Drunken Immortal Building", which was a restaurant, which had been managed and operated by Zhou Yang's mother Lin Yuting.

Before Zhou Xuanhao built the foundation, the "Yuquan Building" had been in charge of him, and after he returned to the family to prepare for the foundation building, the Zhou family monk in charge of the "Yuquan Building" became the new elder Zhou Xuanlin.

Zhou Xuanlin is ranked seventh among the "Xuan" generation, and he is also another second-order refiner in the Zhou family in addition to the old patriarch Zhou Minghan and Zhou Yang, but his refining talent is not very good, even if his cultivation has recently broken through to the ninth level of qi training, he can only refine second-order middle-grade magic weapons, and the success rate is not very high.

Now in the "Yuquan Building", in addition to Zhou Xuanlin, the elder of the Zhou family, there are also three juniors of the Zhou family, Qian Hongyu, Zhou Ping, Zhou Yu, and Zhou Xiong, who are the characters of the "Yuan" generation, who act as sales partners here and are responsible for the sales of items in the store.

Qian Hongyu is the twelfth Zhou Xuanchen Taoist companion of the Zhou family's "Xuan" generation, Zhou Ping, Zhou Yu, and Zhou Xiong ranked fourth, fifth, and thirteenth respectively among the "Yuan" generation.

It happened that because of his young age, Zhou Xiong was specially assigned to solicit business outside the "Yuquan Building", which was called to exercise his eloquence and eyesight.

Therefore, when Zhou Yang led the Shatuo beast to the front of the building, Zhou Xiong, the clan brother, immediately recognized this clan brother who had already moved the whole clan.

"Ahh

Zhou Xiong is five years younger than Zhou Yang, only twenty-seven years old this year, and he is also very handsome, and he is born with a good appearance.

At this time, as soon as he saw Zhou Yang leading the Shatuo beast coming, he first shouted with surprise on his face, and then hurriedly ran forward to take the reins from Zhou Yang's hand with a courteous face, and greeted him eagerly: "Brother Jiu, you must have been fortunate to come all the way, this camel beast will be taken to the backyard by the younger brother to help you take care of it, it just so happens that Uncle Seven is upstairs today, and you can see him on the third floor." ”

Now Zhou Yang is the man of the year in the Zhou family, even if the news of Zhou Xuanhao's foundation building has not yet reached the Baisha River Oasis, just relying on his own second-order high-grade refiner and eighth-level Qi cultivation is enough for Zhou Xiong and his peers to look up to.

Now everyone in the Zhou family knows that if nothing else, the next patriarch of the Zhou family in the future will definitely be Zhou Yang.

In this case, if you can have a good relationship with Zhou Yang in advance, after he takes power and takes over the power of the family, are you afraid that there will be no benefits for yourself?

So not to mention a junior monk like Zhou Xiong, it is the elder of those "Xuan" generations, except for a few people, most people don't dare to take the identity of the elder in front of Zhou Yang to suppress him now.

After all, the immortal cultivation world is respected by the strong, and the identity of the elders is not a reason for them to act recklessly, today they dare to suppress Zhou Yang as an elder, so they are not afraid that after Zhou Yang builds the foundation, after becoming the patriarch, he will retaliate back?

Even if they themselves are not afraid, can their juniors not be afraid?

Therefore, even for the sake of the younger generations, after Zhou Yang had already determined that he could take the "Zhuji Dan" to impact the foundation building, few of the elders of the Zhou family would dare to take on their identities in front of him anymore, let alone a fellow monk like Zhou Xiong.

Zhou Yang is a human being in two lifetimes, and his actual age is much older than his apparent age, but he doesn't think this is inappropriate.

He himself will not rely on his identity to suppress others, but he also does not like people to deliberately suppress himself with the identity of the elders, and the elders can put down their identity to treat him, and he will naturally respect the elders without losing his humanity.

"Then it's troublesome for the thirteenth brother, I really need to meet the seventh uncle to discuss. He nodded his head and thanked him, then dropped the reins and walked into the building.

Hearing the footsteps coming in, Zhou Ping and Zhou Yu, who were a little listless because there were no guests in the building, were also in good spirits, thinking that a guest was coming, and the two hurriedly shook their spirits and prepared to welcome the guests.

"Your Excellency is...... You are the ninth brother!"

"Ninth brother, why did you come to Fang City?"

Seeing that the visitor turned out to be Zhou Yang, who had not been seen for many years, Zhou Ping and Zhou Yu were also stunned, and they had not received any notice in advance like Zhou Xiong, and they were extremely surprised by the sudden visit of Zhou Yang, a genius of the Zhou family.

"Fourth brother, fifth brother, I haven't seen you for many years, don't come unharmed. Zhou Yang smiled slightly, and greeted the two clan brothers with a friendly smile.

Seeing his posture, Zhou Ping and Zhou Yu were full of excitement, and they returned the salute again and again with a flattered look: "The ninth brother is polite, I haven't seen him for many years, and we miss the ninth brother very much." ”

It is said that they miss it, but it is not true, the two of them have been away from home for many years, and they can only return to the family once every three or five years on average over the years, and they usually want to know the news of the family, they have to rely on the caravan to bring it, and the most news brought by the caravan over the years is related to the ninth brother in front of them.

Every time they heard the news of this ninth brother, they couldn't help but think about how the taciturn and somewhat withdrawn young man did what countless elders of the Zhou family in the past two hundred years could not do.

"Hehe, these younger brothers and sisters in our family also miss the two elder brothers, especially the two of them, Xiao Fourteen and Xiao Fifteen, who often shout that they want to go down the mountain as adults as soon as possible and come to Fang City to break into the immortal cultivation world with the two elder brothers. ”

Zhou Yang smiled, but he saw the restraint of the two, so he smiled and told some interesting stories about his younger brothers to help the two relax.

Sure enough, as soon as he heard him talk about these interesting things that had nothing to do with cultivation, the restrained expressions on the faces of Zhou Ping and Zhou Yu relaxed slightly, and they also hurriedly talked about some interesting stories about the three of them when they were children.

After chatting like this for a while, the little bit of life that the brothers hadn't seen for many years quickly disappeared, and after getting acquainted, Zhou Ping and Zhou Yu quickly took out the conversation skills they had practiced as buddies for many years, and talked to Zhou Yang about the big scenes they had seen in Fang City over the years, as well as their experience as buddies in the "Yuquan Building".

Of course, during the conversation, the two of them could not help but express envy for Zhou Yang's rapid improvement in cultivation, and asked Zhou Yang for advice on some problems encountered in cultivation.

Zhou Yang also doesn't hide his secrets, he will try his best to answer for the two of them if he can answer, and he also lent the notes of his practice experience to the two of them to watch.

After the three of them talked for about half an hour, Zhou Yu, who was talking happily, suddenly slapped his head and shouted: "Ah, I only cared about catching up with the ninth brother, but I forgot the business, you came to Fang City, there must be something important to convey, right? The seventh uncle is upstairs, we won't delay the ninth brother, you will do business." ”

Zhou Ping, who was on the side, was also stunned when he heard this, and then hurriedly nodded in response: "Fourth brother is right, ninth brother, you are very important, let's talk about the old things without hurry, when you finish your business, we have time to chat." ”

Zhou Yang heard this, and also felt that today's recollection was almost over, through the conversation with the two brothers just now, he also had a little understanding of the recent situation of the "Yuquan Tower", so he nodded with a smile and said: "Since the two elder brothers said so, then the younger brother will go up to meet the seventh uncle first, let's see you later." ”
