Li Ji walked into Xuanyuan City with a pilgrimage mood, the buildings here are all made of huge bluestone, just like the stone mountain it leans on, full of cold and hard feeling of knife and axe, hard, heavy, deep, is Li Ji's impression of this city.

Xuanyuan City is a big city, of course, it is not comparable to the Xinyuemen kind of Taniguchi Town, which has only been established for five hundred years, the population here is hundreds of thousands, and the residents are inextricably linked with the Xuanyuan Sword Sect in one way or another. The dwelling in the city is not complicated, it is built on the mountain and surrounded by it. There are all kinds of shops, which are not much different from ordinary mortal cities, except that there are many more shops that sell Taoist supplies.

There are a lot of pedestrians on the street who have cultivated deeds, and there are even more casual cultivators, but they are in good order, and no one dares to make trouble here in the name of sword cultivation.

Li Ji's first lesson here is to eat, the restaurant is a small and inconspicuous place to find casually, he didn't come here to enjoy life, according to his usual ordering practice, let the guy send a few good meals, the result is only four dishes, and finally asked him for ten taels of gold when he checked out...

"Are you robbing money? A certain person has been to many places in Zhoulu, but he has never seen such an expensive restaurant, isn't it bullying and slaughtering Yu?" Li Ji suppressed his temperament, but he was not willing to be so bullied.

The guy smiled, and glanced at Li Ji from the corner of his eye, "The guest is new to the city, right?" I'm afraid I don't know the rules of Xuanyuan City, the shop is honestly operated, and the child is not bullied. ”

"What do you say?" Li Ji has just arrived, and he must ask clearly and understand.

"Xuanyuan City does not prevent outsiders from entering, this is the only one of all the blessed lands in the Northern Regions, but then again, if there is no means, how can I Xuanyuan City have a population of hundreds of thousands now? I'm afraid that millions or tens of millions can't stop it, right?" The guy smiled proudly, obviously looking down on the stranger in front of him, and took advantage of the fact that there were not many customers in the store, so he taught him to be obedient, "Those mortal businessmen, officials who take refuge, and wandering cultivators, which one doesn't want to hide in Xuanyuan City to seek stability? Speaking of these ten taels of gold, the small shop only fell one tael, and nine of them had to be handed over to the deacon of Xuanyuan City... ”

“。。。 Li Ji was silent, originally he thought that the town of Crescent Valley was dark enough, and he didn't want to compare with Xuanyuan, but it was a small thing.

"Don't say that eating, it is other expenses, and how can there be cheap? The guests don't believe it, and when they go to find the inn, they will know that what I said is true... The man said smugly.

"So, this Xuanyuan is not enough for one or two thousand taels of gold in a year? Li Ji complained bitterly, he only had a total of six or seven thousand taels of gold in the thief ring, he thought it was a huge amount of money, but he didn't know that it was not in Xuanyuan.

"It's just that you can't afford to eat and live, you said that you have so much gold, where can't you live happily for a lifetime in the mortal world? The guy laughed.

"What if I buy a house and rent a house?, can there be a channel?" Li Ji didn't answer the words of the spirit stone, what kind of joke, the spirit stone he had finally obtained from the new moon, and also pointed to the formation for cultivation, how could it be used in these trivial matters of life.

The guy smiled narrowly, "Of course you can, and it's not expensive, but, hehe, you need to have an introduction from the Xuanyuan Sword Sect Immortal Chief, or a guarantee from the local residents of Xuanyuan City, what kind of guest officer?"

Li Ji, who ate this meal, was worried and hurried, and he was too lazy to take care of the rapping guy, so he hurriedly went to find a suitable place to live, and found a number of inns, and sure enough, as the guy said, all of them were extremely expensive, and finally found a cheap place to live, but it was a lower room, and he also asked him eight taels of gold a night.

In the evening, Li Ji took out all the things in the thief's ring, carefully counted the property, a total of more than 6,400 taels of gold, not to mention a number of silver, it is estimated that this place is worse than the copper in the mortal world, the spirit stones look like a lot, there are 11 top-grade spirit stones, 89 high-grade spirit stones, 314 medium-grade spirit stones, and 112 lower-grade spirit stones, but many of these spirit stones are used second-hand goods, and the value is much lower.

There is no endless road, Li Ji settled his mind, and decided to go out tomorrow to find out to see if there was any work to settle down temporarily, and he had arrived at this place, and there was no reason to give up. The strange price of Xuanyuan City seems unreasonable, but if you think about it carefully, I am afraid that you have to do it, otherwise the expansion of this city will drag this top sword sect to death.

Building a foundation before the age of thirty is the most basic condition for joining the Xuanyuan Sword Sect, Li Ji is here for this, he needs to find a suitable place, and the structure is still a theoretical magic circle, and that is when he soars into the sky.

In the evening, Li Ji tried to run the "Huangting Inner Jingjingjing" for the first time after half a year, as he expected, even though the density of Xuanyuan City's spiritual energy was twice that of Zhongtiao Mountain's blessed land, there was still no progress in cultivation. As for the "Early Moon Xingqi Technique", he didn't even try it, and when he reached this point, he only had one way to Huashan, either to practice the most difficult Huang Ting Sutra, or to roll up and return to the mortal world. If he can't practice the Qi Trick of the First Moon and be a mediocre monk, then why did he come to Xuanyuan?

In the next ten days, Li Ji went out early and returned late, running around the streets and alleys of Xuanyuan City, just to find an errand where he could live and earn an income, unfortunately, Xuanyuan City did not lack a martial artist like him who had a stupid strength but did not even have mana, and did not accept outsiders who had no cultivation potential, which seemed to be the consensus of all the aborigines of Xuanyuan City. On the contrary, this stimulated Li Ji's rebellious mentality, I don't believe it, I have hands, feet, and brains, and I can't get along here? Li Ji said ruthlessly in his heart.

Li Ji continued to search, he was not discouraged, and he tried to save food and clothing, it is hard to imagine that since the crossing, although there have been ups and downs, but he really hasn't bothered about food and accommodation, he will now worry about a cheaper meal, if it weren't for Xuanyuan City's strict prohibition of sleeping on the ground, he would have the heart to sleep on the streets.

The turning point came a month and a half after Li Ji arrived in Xuanyuan City, and he got up very early that day, and he couldn't sleep. Because most of Xuanyuan City had already been turned, he came to the highest place in Xuanyuan City early in the morning to see if there was any opportunity. I didn't come here before because there were few buildings, it was empty, cold and the wind was fierce. This time, he came up unexpectedly and saw many four-wheeled large tank carriages, and Li Ji had been in Xuanyuan for a long time, knowing that these carriages were special carriages for collecting dung in the city. This thing is indispensable for a city to keep clean, there is no sewer system in this world, most of the people who live in Xuanyuan City are mortals, and not monks can eat and drink dew, so this excretion pressure is still quite large. Every morning, as soon as the sky is hazy, there is this big tank carriage to collect the feces in the barrels in front of each house, this is what Li Ji knows, but he doesn't know why these carriages arrived here?
