Chapter 2 Nanlong City
Li Hui and his entourage stayed in the Tianxuanmen.
Wang Bei had been cultivating alone for a long time, and it was rare for a monk of the same level to arrive, so he invited Li Hui to his cave to discuss the Tao. The super teleportation array was hidden inside Wang Bei's cave mansion.
Li Hui agreed and went to Wang Bei's cave mansion, and the two had some exchanges on cultivation experience.
This conversation was a long time, and both of them felt that they had benefited a lot. Since Wang Bei was placed in such an important position by the Lou family, his cultivation is naturally not shallow, plus some classics given by the Lou family, as well as some exercises and magical powers in the land of Shangzhou, he has his own insights in practice.
And Li Hui's experience and perception in the fighting method and the way of the imperial sword made Wang Beimao even more stunned, feeling that a new world had opened up in front of him, it turned out that the fighting method between monks could still be like this, and the flying sword actually had such a subtle imperial envoy method.
The two have been communicating for three days, and in his spare time, Wang Bei also popularized some basic information about the land of Shangzhou to Li Hui. Wang Bei knew that Li Hui and the others were coming from Xiazhou, so he deliberately explained some details clearly, so as not to reveal any flaws when he went out.
According to Wang Bei, the area where they are located at this moment is in a small corner in the southeast of Shangzhou, and the largest force in the southeast of Shangzhou is the Dongfang clan.
This Dongfang clan has a long heritage, it has been passed down from ancient times, and its heritage is profound, even the Ziwei Palace and the Lou family in Xiazhou are incomparable, and it is rumored that there are scattered immortals in the Dongfang family, but naturally no one knows the real situation.
And the entire southeast of Shangzhou is extremely vast, although the power of the Dongfang clan is so great, it is not like the Xiazhou Lou family, which dominates a large area.
There are also many large sects and families in this area, and more places are some small families and small sects.
All this made Li Hui secretly surprised in his heart, this land of Shangzhou is really very different from other places, and the breadth of this area alone is far inferior to other places.
In addition, Wang Bei also introduced that almost most of the land of Shangzhou was inhabited by monks and mortals. Although cultivators are high and have outstanding status, mortals can also have access, and there will even be some cooperation and transactions between the two sides.
In the land of Shangzhou, everyone is martial and the cultivation is extremely developed. Even mortals who don't have spiritual roots will practice martial arts, and those secular martial artists, and even some people can break through the innate realm, and with one body of martial arts, they can kill and crush the cultivators in the Qi refining period.
Moreover, the cultivators here have also developed spiritual weapons that can be used by these mortal warriors for the needs of mortal warriors. In fact, the principle is also very simple, that is, to create a rune array on the spiritual weapon, as well as a groove that can be inlaid with spiritual stones, when used, using the grooves inlaid with spiritual stones on the spiritual weapon, you can exert the power of the spiritual weapon.
In this way, the strength of those secular warriors naturally increased greatly. Although these martial artists can't cultivate, those exquisite fighting martial arts also give these qi refiners quite a headache.
Cultivators exhale and refine qi every day, hoping to break through the realm, so they naturally don't put too much energy on cultivating those martial arts skills, but secular martial artists are immersed in this way every day. Therefore, those innate martial artists can definitely crush the cultivators of the Qi refining period in seconds.
The top innate martial artists joined forces, and there was even a record of killing the foundation building monks.
Listening to this verse, Li Hui was fascinated in his heart, this is the world he yearns for.
You must know that Yuan Hao Zhenren was a secular martial artist back then, and after reaching the innate realm, he went to visit various famous mountains and rivers, hoping to meet the legendary immortals and break through his martial arts cultivation. Later, he embarked on the road of cultivation, and with his swordsmanship, he stood at the peak of the cultivation world step by step.
Therefore, Li Hui admired these secular warriors who dared to break through themselves and could challenge the cultivators with the assets of mortals.
The situation that Wang Bei talked about next made Li Hui even more surprised.
The secular mortals in the land of Shangzhou actually have countless large-scale merchant alliances, these merchant alliances span all over the country, and sometimes caravans travel tens of thousands of miles to transport materials from other places to each other and earn the difference.
Even some of the materials used for cultivation relied on the operation of these large merchant alliances of mortals.
You must know that there are many cultivators in the land of Shangzhou, and there are countless large and small forces, but after all, cultivators still have portals, and the power of a single small sect is too small, and they do not have the strength to travel tens of thousands of miles to transport materials. Because the land of Shangzhou is not peaceful, there are countless demon beasts along the way, and there will even be gangs composed of robbers and cultivators of secular martial artists to commit crimes.
In the past, these small sects could only buy some of the materials they needed from some of the markets under the larger sects at a high price.
The materials in these markets are still priceless, and the operators of those markets are also nostrils to the sky, looking like they love to buy or not.
Until a merchant alliance formed by mortals broke the monopoly of these major sects.
What cultivators couldn't do, they really let those mortals do.
These mortals formed a large business alliance, hired those high-ranking warriors in the secular world as guards, traveled tens of thousands of miles, and paid a lot of blood and tears to open up several trade routes.
Later, these merchant alliances developed, and even hired cultivators to come forward to escort them, extending the trade routes farther and covering a wider range.
These things simply stunned Li Hui when he heard them, and his heart was like turning over the river and the sea. Sincere admiration for those mortals who have made such great achievements.
Nowadays, the power of those mortal business alliances has even surpassed many medium-sized cultivation sects, and many cultivation sects have been secretly cultivated, and they all have their own armed teams.
This is the power of mortals, although in the eyes of cultivators, these mortals are like ants, compared to the long life span of cultivators, mortals are like dying in the twilight of life. But these mortals never gave up their efforts, and they were able to survive no matter how desperate the situation was. They have paid countless costs, but there are still people who step on the corpses of their predecessors one after another, so although mortals are small, they will never be extinct.
Even in this land of Shangzhou, mortals have actually reached the point of competing with cultivators. There are many stories of sacrifices and generous deaths among mortals, all of which are sacrifices made by individuals for the benefit of the whole race, and those people are undoubtedly heroes.
And the cultivator is strong on the surface, but the cultivation is immortal, most of them are selfish and selfish, and they don't get up early if they don't have profits, in order to become immortals, everything can be put in the back of their minds, and they are ruthless, and in terms of courage, they may not be able to match a mortal.
Therefore, a monk like Yuan Hao Zhenren, who was born as a mortal, could reach the top of the cultivation realm step by step, because they all inherited some of the good qualities of mortals.
These things are indeed worthy of being learned from mortals by cultivators.
This long talk made Li Hui feel a lot of emotion. At the same time, some confusion about monasticism was also solved. I understand why Yuan Hao Zhenren said that it is the way of love, and only by entering the WTO can he be truly detached.
is not afraid of death and dares to die, but can fight back in the Jedi, greedy for life and afraid of death, afraid of the head and tail, but it is difficult to achieve great things.
Li Hui's Dao heart is more firm and pure.
Three days later, Li Hui took his group to bid farewell to Wang Bei, left Tianxuanmen, and under the leadership of Li Jun, the master of Tianxuanmen, he went to Nanlongcheng, a city hundreds of miles away from Tianxuanmen.
Everyone in the Sword Sect deliberately concealed their aura, looking like a foundation building monk, and then flew towards Nanlong City with that Li Jun without a hurry.
"In this Nanlong City, the largest business alliance is a business alliance called Dadetong, and this Nanlong City Dadetong Business Alliance is just a branch, but it occupies half of the business in this Nanlong City, and there are large caravans to and from various places all year round. ”
While the group was flying in the sky, they listened to Li Jun's introduction to the situation in Nanlong City.
Li Hui's heart moved, and he asked, "Do you often have caravans walking outside in this Great Virtue Trade Alliance? Are there some caravans heading to large cities recently?"
After thinking for a moment, Li Jun's eyes lit up and said: "Yes, it seems that there is a caravan of Dadetong going to Xinghua City recently, this trip is tens of thousands of miles away, and Dadetong has already posted a list to invite Zhuji monks to join the peers." ”
Li Hui's heart moved, it was a good way to follow this caravan, among a large caravan like Dadetong, there were mixed fish and dragons, and he just took the opportunity to have an understanding of the land of Shangzhou.
Otherwise, even if you come here, you will be like a blind man touching an elephant, and you don't know what to do next.
When I came to Shangzhou, the first was to find a suitable place to start a sect and formally establish the sect of the Sword Sect, and the second was to explore the news of Han Xue.
It's a pity that even Lou Suifeng doesn't know where the super teleportation array of Ziwei Palace is connected to Shangzhou, and Shangzhou is so big, and after decades, it is not easy to find out the news of Han Xue.
These business alliances travel from south to north, and they are the most well-informed about the news, and it is unknown what they have gained from being with them.
After flying for a while, a quaint city suddenly rose from the barren land in front of me.
The entire city was built with huge rocks to build a city wall, which was dozens of zhang high, and there were not weak spiritual power fluctuations on it, obviously with the blessing of the formation.
"This is Nanlong City, don't look at the tranquility now, every year when the beast tide breaks out, it's really dangerous. Li Jun sighed.
The group landed early and walked into the city.
Along the way, I saw many worldly warriors with weathered faces, carrying swords and wearing tight-fitting suits, striding in and out of the city. There were also some small caravans entering the city.
These martial artists seemed to be accustomed to these high-ranking cultivators, and they did not have the slightest fear or avoidance.
There was even a big man with a vicious body and a mountain chopping knife on his back, throwing a provocative glance at Li Hui and them.
In a place like Nanlong City, there are not many Jindan monks. Most of the monks encountered were mainly in the Qi refining period and the foundation building period.
This big man with a knife on his back dared to provoke on the premise of knowing that the other party might be a foundation building monk, it seems that the power is probably not ordinary.
Li Hui understood that such a heavy evil aura on this person's body was accumulated by killing countless living beings, although he would not care about such a mortal in his heart, but he also had some respect.
