Chapter Forty-Nine: Ayutthaya Tianwu
Chapter Forty-Nine: Ayutthaya Tianwu
As soon as the Divine Consciousness leaned in, there was a tremble, and then a more intense pain, but it was still much lighter than the Soul Split. Enduring the pain, Su Aotian tried to break the ban little by little. The power of this prohibition may have been weakened a lot, although it is powerful but not too complicated, after Su Aotian spent some effort, he sensed some mysteries, and the speed of cracking gradually became faster.
Finally finished cracking the last link, only listening to the sound of "wave", the coercion and pain suddenly disappeared, and a mountain wall appeared in front of me, and a corpse was half-leaning and half-sitting at the bottom of the mountain wall. Su Aotian took a closer look, and there was a layer of brilliant white light shining on this corpse, like jade, and it looked even more advanced than the remains of the person on the top of the clouds.
But the bones of the people on the top of the cloud were intact, and the bones of this corpse were broken everywhere, and the ribs on the chest were almost broken, and some were broken into several sections. His vertebrae were also broken into four or five knots, no wonder he could only lean half against the mountain wall.
His legs were dragged to the ground, his right leg was apparently broken, and his right hand was clenched, and through the bone cracks, he could see something in his palm. The left hand is on the ground, there are some marks in front of the palm, and if you look closely, you can vaguely distinguish a few messy handwritings, "Send to the Fengyin Mountain of Tianfeng Valley". There was nothing on the ground, and there were no bracelets and pendants on the bones, and Su Aotian couldn't help but feel slightly disappointed.
Looking at this, this person was seriously injured and dying, and after escaping here, he laid a ban, and it seemed that he died before he even had time to finish writing a message, and he didn't know what to send, and he didn't say where the Fengyin Mountain of Tianfeng Valley was, so he hoped that someone would find out and send the items in his hand there.
The aura emitted by this prohibition can make everyone on the cloud top feel terrified, then this person's cultivation is really extraordinary, far above the people on the cloud top. The problem is that everyone knows that Yuanying Monk is the top of Dongqing Dragon Prefecture, and the Yunding Master also claims to be the first person in Dongqing Dragon Prefecture, so what kind of cultivation is this mysterious person? Yuanying Dzogchen Monk? It should not make the Yunding Master fearful, right? What kind of cultivation is the person who injured him to death? How far can he kill such a powerful person? Could it be that this person is from outside the Dongqing Dragon Prefecture? Or is he from the Upper Realm like the Master? These many mysteries puzzled Su Aotian, and the master said that there were strange things in Dongqinglong Prefecture, and it seemed that this was indeed the case. Master had instructed him to leave Dongqing Longzhou as soon as possible, but now that he was cultivating mediocre and couldn't leave, Master knew that he must be very disappointed, right?
Thinking of the master and reminding Su Aotian's chaotic thoughts, he smiled bitterly, got rid of these thoughts, stepped forward, and wrenched the right hand of the corpse, wanting to see what was in his hand. The bones of the corpse were extremely hard, Su Aotian couldn't move at all, and he had no choice but to take out a divine weapon to cut the bone of his right finger, only to see that what he was holding in his hand was a pendant.
This pendant looks very old, showing a dark copper color, with intricate patterns engraved on it, and it looks quite ancient. The pendant is tied with a thin chain, and it is not easy to see what the texture is, and it is not light in the hand, and it seems to be made of a very strong material.
It seems that this is what he wants to send back, could it be also a magic weapon for storage? Su Aotian couldn't help but get excited, but when he thought that it was something that someone else said, it seemed a little inappropriate to possess it for himself, and he muttered to himself in his heart.
But in any case, you can find out more by checking what is inside. Su Aotian released his divine thoughts and tried it, and couldn't help but be stunned, this is an ornament, not a storage magic weapon.
He still didn't give up, and carefully investigated with his divine thoughts, but he really didn't find space. If you use the aura to input, there is no reaction, and it is not a magic weapon. Although this person did not personally entrust him, Su Aotian felt that since he broke into here and saw the handwriting he left, it was also fate, so he should accept this entrustment.
After carefully looking around, there was indeed nothing left, and Su Ao turned around reluctantly and left. Looking back, I was in the middle of a canyon, and the prohibition had completely disappeared. Su Aotian found a place to bury the bones and flew towards the top of the canyon. Thinking about this adventure, I was full of hope that there would be a big opportunity, but I didn't get anything, and I added a burden to myself, which was really a complete failure adventure.
Cultivation fell into the dilemma of lack of resources again, and he still had a lot of messy things on hand that he didn't need, so it was better to go to Tianwu City as soon as possible to exchange them, thinking of this, Su Aotian discerned the direction and flew straight towards Tianwu City.
Originally, it was not far from Tianwu City, but this adventure has only widened the distance. Su Aotian flew for more than 20 days, and then gradually saw more people, and from time to time he met some monks flying around. Most of them were in a hurry, and they all deliberately avoided each other, but there were no twists and turns, and after another two days, Su Aotian finally saw a line of city walls in the distance.
As the saying goes, "looking at the mountain and running a dead horse", although Su Aotian saw the city wall from a distance, he flew for a long time and had not yet reached Tianwu City. As the distance approached, the continuous city wall also appeared in front of him, and the majestic momentum opened the eyes of Su Aotian, a low-level monk who had not seen much of the world. The walls of the city are like a mountain, and you have to look up so hard that the back of your neck is sore to barely see the top, and the sides are boundless, and there is no end in sight. The sound of hooves galloping could be heard clearly at the top of the wall, and it was the garrison sergeants patrolling, and their mighty shouts could be heard in the distance.
There were still hundreds of zhang away from the city wall, and Su Aotian fell to the ground and walked towards the entrance of the city gate on foot. When the guard at the gate saw that he was a monk, he did not deliberately interrogate him, but asked a few words in a routine manner, collected the entrance fee, and let him in. When you enter the city gate, you will be faced with a wide and straight avenue, which is enough to accommodate dozens of horses galloping at the same time, and you can't see the end at a glance. Su Aotian looked at these familiar patterns and understood that this Tianwu City should be similar to the pattern of Hongwu City and Yuanwu City, but it was too big.
More than 100 years of life in the wild, although Su Aotian's cultivation has advanced by leaps and bounds, but the monk is also a human being, and he is eager to communicate and contact with the same kind of people at the spiritual level, at this time returning to the city, Su Aotian still has some excitement and expectation in his heart, he found that he still likes the busy life in the city for cultivation resources. Seeing hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of monks like him every day, doing tasks, accepting hires, and exchanging resources, made him feel a sense of integration, and there were at least countless people in this world like him, working hard to survive with dreams, eager to break free from the shackles of fate and reach the holy land in his heart.
After sighing for a while, Su Aotian first prepared to find a place to live and settle down. In the past, he was used to being poor, and in order to hide people's eyes, he was looking for a remote place in the deep streets and alleys to make do with it, but now although he has a lot of money, he is not ready to be extravagant and wasteful, and plans to find a small inn or something like that as a foothold.
Along the rows of high-rise buildings along the main street, there were many inns and other doors, he ignored them all, and turned into some alleys, and sure enough, there were also a lot of inns and restaurants here. Su Aotian saw that there was an inn at the end of the alley, and when he saw that it was clean and tidy in the past, the environment was quiet, and he liked it more in his heart, so he asked about the price, and couldn't help but be startled, and asked for a low-grade spirit stone a year.
You must know that a low-grade spirit stone is worth 10,000 spirit coins, and the firewood house he rented in Yuanwu City before was one spirit coin per month, and it was only twelve spirit coins a year, and the price of 10,000 spirit coins was too expensive, Su Aotian turned around and prepared to leave as soon as he heard it.
At this time, there was an old man sitting in the room, and when he saw this, he said to Su Aotian: "Daoist friend is slow, my house price is so expensive, Daoist friend would like to hear it?"
Although Su Aotian saw the old man when he came in, he thought that maybe he was a tenant and didn't pay special attention, but when he heard the old man speak, he realized that it was the shopkeeper, so he asked: "Since the shopkeeper said so, I would like to hear it in detail." ”
The old man smiled and said, "Since Daoist friends have come here, you can know that you must be an ascetic cultivator, addicted to cultivation. Fellow Daoists may not care, did you go straight to the shop as soon as you entered this alley?"
When Su Aotian heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but think about it carefully. Although he had come on foot, his mind had vaguely focused on this place, and although it was at the end of the alley, it was indeed noticeable at a glance. At this time, as soon as he heard the old man say, he became interested and said, "In this way, what is the mystery of your inn?"
The old man laughed and said, "Exactly." The old man's inn has been passed down for several generations, and in this Tianwu City, although it is remote, the business has not been bad. The reason is not it, but that any ascetic person like Daoyou will be unconsciously attracted here as long as he passes within ten miles of the small shop. The reason for this is nothing more than cultivation. ”
When Su Aotian heard this, he was even more curious, and couldn't help asking, "Oh, why is this?"
The old man said: "Ascetics, because they are addicted to cultivation, over time, their sensitivity to the vitality of heaven and earth is mostly different from that of ordinary people, and they themselves are not aware of it. The old man's inn, there are a few upper rooms, especially suitable for cultivation, it is said to be an inn, it is actually a quiet room, and the price is much lower than the cultivation meditation room, the vitality fluctuations emitted by these upper rooms can always attract monks like Taoist friends, and when they see it, they are satisfied. Su Aotian listened to the shopkeeper's words, and couldn't help but believe a little, so he said: "Then bother the shopkeeper to take me to see what is going on, if it is suitable, I will also rent one." The shopkeeper smiled and said, "Fellow Daoist, please come with me." "Take Su Aotian and walk to the backyard.
It is said that it is a backyard, but it is actually a large place, as vast as a small square, during which nearly 100 houses were built, all of which were stone rooms, and there was not a single wooden house. Su Aotian was slightly surprised, he didn't expect that there were so many of them in the shopkeeper's mouth. The shopkeeper took him to a stone room, opened the door, and suddenly a strong vitality gushed out, as soon as Su Aotian came into contact, he noticed that Shuimu's vitality was extremely strong, and he couldn't help but be overjoyed!
Seeing his reaction, the shopkeeper was very proud, and said, "It's not a secret, the ancestral land of the old man is just above the tail of a spiritual vein in this city, and the clan has built these houses to cultivate accordingly. However, the family is not prosperous, and it is gradually declining, so it is not necessary to use so much, and finally changes to an inn to earn some resources. These stone houses are quite inferior to the cultivation rooms in the hands of the famous sects, and there are only three kinds of vitality of water, wood and earth for cultivation, but the victory is pure, and the price is also low, I think that the Taoist friends should have built the foundation for a short time, and it should be more than enough to cultivate here for thirty or fifty years. Su Aotian said with a smile: "With my clumsy qualifications, it is a fluke to break through the foundation, let alone thirty or fifty years, it is enough to be here for the rest of my life." The shopkeeper smiled: "Where are the words." Daoyou is not a person in the pool at first glance, and he will definitely achieve extraordinary achievements in the future. The two of them said a few polite words, and Su Aotian said: "So I will rent it for a year first, but I don't have a spirit stone on hand, so I have to exchange some items, this stone room is reserved for me, and I will come when I go." The shopkeeper agreed, and Su Aotian turned around and went out to look for the store.
Although there is no shortage of spirit stones around Su Aotian now, there are no inferior ones, so he has to find a store to exchange them at this time. Now there are the most medium-grade spirit stones in the two systems of water and wood, and they will not be of much use for a while, so it is easier to use them by converting them into lower-grade spirit stones. At that time, the spirit stones were exchanged at a ratio of one to one, that is, a high-grade spirit stone was exchanged for one hundred medium-grade spirit stones, and a medium-grade spirit stone was exchanged for one hundred lower-grade spirit stones. Even so, it is easy to exchange high-quality spirit stones for low-quality spirit stones, and it is difficult to exchange low-quality spirit stones for high-quality spirit stones. Because although the discount is one to hundred, a hundred low-quality spirit stones may not be comparable to a high-quality spirit stone, because each spirit stone will inevitably have impurities in it, and no one can guarantee that all the spiritual energy in the spirit stone can be absorbed. And the degree of absorption of each person also depends on the quality of the individual's spiritual root, the higher the quality of the spirit stone, the purer the spiritual energy, and the high-quality spirit stone is more popular with monks. Of course, for a person like Su Aotian, a medium-grade spirit stone is nothing, he found a shop at random, took out one of each of the medium-grade spirit stones of Shuimu, and replaced them with low-grade spirit stones, and sure enough, it went very well, and the shopkeeper happily agreed, and was very enthusiastic to suggest that Su Aotian might as well exchange the low-grade spirit stones for some spirit coins, and he could give some discounts. Su Aotian agreed, and exchanged for ten spirit coins of lower grade spirit stones, and the shopkeeper gave him a total of 110,000 spirit coins, and an additional 10,000.
Su Aotian returned to the inn, paid the rent, got the room key, and immediately returned to the stone house to cultivate. Closing the door and placing a ban on the door, Su Aotian tried to run the exercises, and felt that the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi was pouring in endlessly, although it was not as good as the effect of the spirit stone, but it was much better than the effect when he practiced in the wild before. According to the speed at which he is now absorbing the Yuan Qi of Heaven and Earth, as long as the Yuan Qi here is sufficient, it is still possible to break through to the Jiedan within three hundred years, that is to say, before the five-hundred-year limit arrives, it is expected to break through to the Jiedan. From now on, his cultivation speed should have caught up with some so-called elite disciples, that is, the group of people who have the hope of breaking through to the next stage step by step, compared to the so-called genius disciples, it is still inferior.
After cultivating for a while, Su Aotian was satisfied with the current cultivation speed and began to think about his next plan. The first thing is to break through the Golden Soul to the foundation building, so that the cultivation speed should increase significantly, and the hope of breaking through to the Jiedan will be greatly increased. Secondly, the talisman can not be dropped, you can increase your own killer skills, you can also exercise the soul, and the soul must continue to improve, these are your own hole cards to save your life. Refining tools should also be studied, at least to have an in-depth understanding of various refining materials, qi refining techniques, etc., even if you don't refine your own weapons in the future, you will not be wronged when you invite someone to refine your tools. There are also many pills, medicinal materials, etc., although they are not needed by themselves, but they are also a fortune, and it is good to realize the idea, and it is not eye-catching. In short, there are a lot of things that need to be done, and I just hate myself for being incompetent.
Su Aotian walked out of the stone room, out of the inn, first walked to a remote place, and while no one was paying attention, he quickly changed his appearance and clothes, and then turned to the street, walking along the main street towards the city center. After walking for two hours, I came to the city center and saw the majestic auction hall and the spacious guild hall. The auction hall is not open, but the guild hall is very lively, and the tasks inside are also dazzling, and there are many heaven-level tasks such as the purchase of beast cores, furs, and blood of seventh- and eighth-level fierce beasts, etc., which are all tasks suitable for Jiedan monks, and the prices are also staggering, and there are dozens of medium-grade spirit stones at every turn. In the past, these tasks were worth Su Aotian's hard work, but now, unless it was necessary, he no longer had to work so hard for resources.
Looking at the bustling beings in the hall and feeling that their fate was similar to that of himself, Su Aotian turned around and came out again, browsing casually in the shop next to him. After a while, he discovered a problem, that is, unlike Yuanwu City, most of the shops here were recruited by some young and beautiful female cultivators. These female cultivators are generally in the Qi refining period, and their cultivation is in the seventh or eighth period, and there are some in the ninth stage of Qi refining, and they are not very old, all of them are young and beautiful, full of energy, and they are talking softly to solicit business, and even if the monks passing by don't want to trade, they can't help but walk into the store to have a look. This made Su Ao naturally sigh, these female cultivators have cultivated to the advanced level of qi refining at a young age, and they may be the key cultivation objects in Yuanwu City, but here, they are soliciting customers on the street, and people are really incomparable.
Passing by a medicinal herb shop, Su Aotian stopped for a moment and walked in. As soon as I entered the door, I walked by a female cultivator, with her hair combed in a bun, willow eyebrows and big eyes, red lips and white teeth, tall figure, and very pretty appearance.
