Zhongzhou is the center of the entire Chu State, not the largest area of the Thirteen Prefectures, but it is the most prosperous and wealthy place, not only in the mortal world, but also in the immortal cultivation world.

Chuxiong City, Kyoto of Chu State, is located in the center of Zhongzhou, the traffic extends in all directions, it is the most prosperous city in Chu State, and it is also the largest city in Chu State, not only the population reaches nearly 20 million, the urban area is more than 200 miles, and it takes two or three days for mortals to walk from the east of the city to the west of the city.

The history of the existence of Chuxiong City is no longer examinable, and it is rumored that it existed tens of thousands of years ago, and it has stood together to this day, no matter the flames of war and the big waves of sand, this giant city has not been destroyed.

The population of nearly 20 million is a unimaginable number, and the number of people who travel to and from Kyoto every day is hundreds of thousands, and the convergence of two rivers, one river and one mountain converges here, making Kyoto a special geographical location in the entire Chu country.

When Zhang Yifan came to Chuxiong City, he was really shocked by the scene of Chuxiong City, although he was an immortal cultivator, he had never seen such a big city.

Zhang Yifan did not enter Chuxiong City immediately, but walked around outside Chuxiong City, and spent nearly half a month to have a full understanding of this big city, and he also found that there were many immortal cultivators, who should be monks from the six major sects sitting here.

The six major sects do not allow immortal cultivators to participate in worldly affairs, and they themselves will not care about the replacement of the imperial dynasty in the mortal world, and the six major sect cultivators guarding here are to prevent monks and even demon cultivators from making trouble in Chuxiong City and causing harm to mortals.

Chuxiong City itself secretly has a large array of protection, a Zhenji Gate Yuan Infant Monk has been sitting in Chuxiong City for a long time, and the guardian team jointly formed by the six major sects will protect Chuxiong City safely.

Hidden in the city, there are many immortal cultivators in Chuxiong City, all kinds of scattered cultivators are mixed in it, and the family sect monks have all experienced here, among which there are some high-level immortal cultivators, constituting a strange phenomenon of mixing with mortals.

Although these immortal cultivators are hidden dangers, the six major sects know that they can't stop it, as long as they don't fight in the city, hurt mortals and disrupt the order, they won't care too much.

There are all kinds of immortal cultivators' shops hidden in Chuxiong City, auctions, and there are endless bright or dark ones, and the immortal cultivation spiritual materials that appear are no worse than any other place in terms of quantity and quality, and they are the holy places in the minds of scattered cultivators.

When these scattered cultivators are successful, they will spread out in Chuxiong City, and gradually develop into various small immortal cultivation families, and after they grow to a certain power, they can become affiliated families of the sect after they develop into large and medium-sized families.

What's more, if there is a peerless genius in the family, he can become a subsidiary family of the True Pole Gate, so that he can soar into the sky and completely gain a firm foothold in Chuxiong City.

The Wu family of the great immortal cultivator clan in Chuxiong City is such a family, and it is rumored that the Wu family appeared thousands of years ago with a heavenly spirit root with excellent qualifications to be favored by the True Pole Gate, so that the Wu family, which was originally only a medium immortal cultivator family, immediately became a subsidiary family of the True Pole Gate.

Since then, the Wu family has begun to develop rapidly, and several disciples with good qualifications have appeared one after another, and they have completely become a first-class immortal cultivation family in Kyoto.

But the Wu family of the Xiuxian family is famous in the entire Chu country, all because of one person, that is, Wu Huan'er, the Tianzi lady of the Wu family, and the only Taoist son after the fall of Qingjingzi.

It is rumored that Wu Huan'er is currently breaking through the Jindan period, but I don't know if it's true or not.

After Zhang Yifan was familiar with the periphery of Chuxiong City, he was about to enter the city, and when he was about to enter the city from the east gate, he heard a voice.

"This fellow Daoist, after entering the city, please come to the monk's reception next to the city gate to go through some formalities for entering the city. ”

Zhang Yifan was a little surprised, he had already hidden his breath, he didn't expect to be so easily recognized, and he faintly felt that he had been locked by something.

"The six major sects have really tight control over Kyoto City. Zhang Yifan sighed in his heart.

After pretending to be a mortal and going through the formalities of entering the city, Zhang Yifan entered an inconspicuous hut near the city gate as he said, saying that the hut was actually a high-style building, but the surface was covered by a blinding magic circle, and mortals couldn't see it.

"Hehe, welcome Daoist friends to Chuxiong City, below is Zhao Qi, the deacon of the east gate of Chuxiong City. The middle-aged monk with a smile on his eyes and a kind face said to Zhang Yifan.

"Zhao Daoyou is polite, under Li Yuan, it is a loose cultivation. Zhang Yifan said.

He secretly probed it with his divine sense

"It turned out to be Li Daoyou, and I asked Li Daoyou to go through the procedures for entering the city. ”

Zhao Qi led Zhang Yifan into a fairly spacious house, and there was a mirror directly above the room. Zhang Yifan knew that this was generally a magic mirror magic weapon used by the sect to distinguish evil demons, and ordinary monks or demon cultivators possessed by yin demons and demons could not hide it at all.

Seeing that the magic mirror had no reaction to Zhang Yifan, Zhao Qi secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"I don't know if Li Daoyou is temporarily in Chuxiong City or is preparing to live permanently?" Zhao Qi asked.

"I don't know what's the difference between the two?"

"Temporarily equipped with a temporary pass token in Chuxiong City, Daoist friends only need to pay one hundred spirit stones, and the period is one month. If you live in a permanent place, you will have an unlimited period of time, and you need to pay 1,000 spirit stones. Zhao Qi said politely.

"Why is this so expensive?" Zhang Yifan said with a frown.

"Hehe, it seems that Daoist friends don't know, the six major sects have recently established the Demon Slaying Alliance, and the investment in the protection of the capital is much larger than before, so the related cost of entering the city has increased several times compared to before. Zhao Qi patiently explained.

"I see, let's handle permanent residence below. Zhang Yifan pretended to be a little helpless and said.

"Haha, Brother Li's move is definitely a wise move, recently the demon cultivators have been attacking my Chu State monks more and more rampantly, and it will undoubtedly be much safer in Chu Xiong City. ”

Zhang Yifan nodded noncommittally, he didn't care, if he could, he would be happy to destroy the demon cultivator and verify the sealing and unsealing form of the Nine Miao Lotus Sutra.

"I also ask Brother Li to leave a spiritual power in these two tokens of the same system, one will be given to Daoyou, and the other will stay here. The spiritual power will dissipate after ten years, and when the time comes, you will also invite Daoyou to come over and re-infuse, and you only need to pay the fee of twenty spirit stones. Zhao Qi explained.

Zhang Yifan knew that this was a means for the six major sects to monitor the monks in Chuxiong City, and if a monk committed a crime in the city, he could quickly rely on the breath left behind to lock the identity of the monk.

This method does not require the monk to provide his real name and origin, as long as he does not commit any crime in Chuxiong City, no one will ask to the end. This method is very friendly to monks who want to enter Chuxiong City, so few people reject it. Besides, the six major sects are very strong, and it is useless to exclude.

He didn't reject this method, and directly injected a spiritual power according to his words. Then he waited for Zhao Qi to take the token into a room and make a permanent residence token.

After waiting for about a cup of tea, the permanent residence token was made.

"Hehe, let Li Daoyou wait for a long time, this token is also asked Li Daoyou to keep it properly, if it is lost, it needs to be made up in time, the deadline is one month, and the cost is one hundred spirit stones, otherwise you need to check in again." ”

"In addition, this is a jade slip of rules that monks must abide by in Chuxiong City, please read and abide by it carefully, and the corresponding punishment for violating the rules is also among them, please also pay attention to it. Zhao Qi said seriously.

"Thank you Zhao Daoyou. ”

Zhang Yifan took the token and the jade slip and looked at it.

The token is quite exquisitely made, the whole body is cyan, it is made of green spirit jade that can contain the spiritual power of the monk, and it is written with Zhang Yifan's name and the date of entering the city, and on the back is the symbol of permanent residence.

Zhang Yifan took a general look at the rules in the jade slip and found that the restrictions on invading mortals and the imperial city were relatively severe, ranging from the punishment to bankruptcy, and the heavy to be sent to the soul prison and tortured for ten thousand years.

For the others, it was okay, and it did not restrict the freedom of the monks very much, so Zhang Yifan put his mind at ease.

Just as Zhang Yifan was about to say goodbye and leave, Zhao Qi stopped Zhang Yifan again.

"I see that Li Daoyou's strength is extraordinary, here is the reward order issued by the Demon Slaying Alliance, Daoyou can take a look, maybe you will encounter those demon cultivators by chance. ”

Zhao Qi handed over a jade slip, Zhang Yifan took it after thanking him and didn't look at it, and put it away directly.

At this time, Zhang Yifan was no longer a novice who had just entered the immortal cultivation world, and the combination of decades of immortal cultivation career and experience in catching fast allowed him to know how not to expose himself.

In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Zhang Yifan behaved very low-key and did not show the slightest flaw.

Later, after Zhang Yifan said goodbye to Zhao Qi, he went straight to the contact location that Wu Huan'er told him before, but he didn't expect that the news he got was that Wu Huan was currently in retreat, and it would take about half a year to leave the news in advance before he could get out of the customs.

In desperation, Zhang Yifan had no choice but to find a place to live in the capital first, and try to find a few spiritual materials and elixirs he needed.

Under the introduction of a local experienced hyacinth, Zhang Yifan found a relatively remote courtyard to live alone in Xicheng District, where there are many scattered cultivators. The courtyard cover defense array is equipped with complete facilities, and the rent for a year is eight hundred spirit stones.

It's a little expensive, but it's normal in Kyoto, where every inch of land is at a premium.

Zhang Yifan arranged another set of covering array flags and protective magic arrays in the courtyard, and after the arrangements were completed, he began to think about some things in Chuxiong City in the future.

It was only at this time that Zhang Yifan took out the demon extermination reward and asked Yu Jian to check it.

After seeing the reward content recorded in the jade slip, he couldn't help but gasp, the reward of this Demon Slaying Alliance was too rich.

According to the reward method on the jade slip, the Tao Rang of the Netherworld Corpse Sect that he had killed earlier could almost be exchanged for a reward of two or three hundred thousand spirit stones. Unfortunately, this Demon Slaying Bounty was only recently issued, and after he killed Tao Rang, the reward for killing Tao Rang could not be redeemed.

What made him most excited was the magic weapon of the Zhenshen Tower, but he didn't expect that someone from the Fire Sect really refined the magic weapon of the Zhenshen Tower. However, when he saw the requirements for obtaining this treasure, Zhang Yifan felt that this task was too difficult, and it was even more dangerous for him.

Zhang Yifan was very surprised when he saw the relevant information about Mrs. Jin, he didn't expect that Mrs. Yin also had a compatriot sister, Mrs. Jin, Mrs. Yin died at his hands, if Mrs. Jin knew about it, she would definitely seek revenge on him.

But he wasn't sure how to deal with a mid-stage Jindan cultivator, although he had some restraint on illusions. Zhang Yifan decided that it was better to keep a low profile first, and wait until after the advanced Jindan period.

"Alas, I didn't expect that even Nie Yun Daoyou had fallen into his hands. Zhang Yifan sighed.

He and Nie Yun have had several relationships, although the friendship is not deep, but he knows that the other party has accumulated a lot of money, and after the advanced foundation building period, he has advanced by leaps and bounds, and after accidentally swallowing a fire spirit grass, he awakened the body of the three yangs of the day after tomorrow, and became the core disciple with the best qualifications from the Fire Sect in one fell swoop, second only to Jin Chan in terms of status.

Later, Jin Chan should have joined the Miyun Palace and disappeared from the Chu State Immortal Cultivation Realm, and Nie Yun became the core foundation building period monk of the Fire Sect in one fell swoop.

Nie Yun also lived up to expectations, and finally formed a golden pill a few years ago. In order to reward Nie Yun, the Lihuo Sect not only assisted Nie Yun in refining the Flame Sparrow Ring, a high-grade natal magic weapon, but also made the descendants of the Spirit Flame Eagle, a spirit beast inherited from the Jindan period of the sect, into Nie Yun's spirit beast.

Although Nie Yun was only in the early stage of advancing to the Jindan, his strength was very strong, and he couldn't imagine that he would die at the hands of Mrs. Jin, which made Zhang Yifan a little more jealous of Mrs. Jin.

Gathering his mind, Zhang Yifan began to ponder the matter of collecting purple yin flowers and silver threaded spiritual silk.

After having a purple yin flower suitable for the age of the year, Zhang Yifan can refine the purple yin pill in batches. The Purple Yin Pill can quickly refine the mana in the late stage of foundation building, and when the time comes, after his cultivation is absorbed by the Demon Suppressor, it can allow him to quickly cultivate his mana back, saving a lot of time.

Over the years, he has been collecting through the sect, although he has collected some purple yin flowers, but he has not collected any that meets the requirements.

Zhang Yifan was going to inquire about the news and try his luck at the scattered cultivation exchange meetings in various places in Chuxiong City.

As for the silver-veined spirit silk, although he didn't collect it, he got some clues about the silver-veined spirit silk. That clue was in Chuxiong City, and he was going to take a look at it in ten days.

Then Zhang Yifan entered the cultivation.

At this time, Zhang Yifan's "Nine Yin and Nine Yin Imperial Thunder True Technique" had already cultivated to the third level of completion, and there was no need to cultivate again before breaking through the bottleneck of Jindan.

He is now cultivating the fifth refining of the "Xuanhan Six Refinings", and since entering the fifth refining, Zhang Yifan's progress has slowed down a lot, and the effect of the thousand-year-old cold dew is no longer as obvious as before.

This was a bit unexpected for him, and after thinking about it, Zhang Yifan understood the reason. It should be that after his physical body and blood qi are improved, the acquired cold spirit will be more powerful, so the power of Xuan Han will be higher.

According to cultivation estimates, he would not be able to cultivate to the fifth refining level until the thousand-year-old cold dew was exhausted. In the past two years, he has been asking Wang Congwu and the three of them to look for new cold spirit objects, but they have found nothing, so they have to cultivate like this first.

After knowing that the strength of the physical body would affect the difficulty of the Heavenly Tribulation, Zhang Yifan did not stop cultivating, but instead cultivated harder, just wanting to use the Jindan Thunder Tribulation to refine the physical body and increase the foundation.

He himself has a certain ability to resist the Thunder Tribulation, in addition to some means to reduce the power of the Thunder Tribulation, and according to the information provided by Jiuhe Zhenren and others, he also knows that even if the degree of the Thunder Tribulation is larger, he can resist it, so he is not worried that the Jindan Thunder Tribulation will endanger his life.
