Chapter 7 Learning and Adaptation
Soon, a city built on a mountain was seen in the distance, and as it approached, the aura spread gradually reached the level of the middle of Qingsong Gorge, which made Zhang Zhiping and Wu Yong feel more and more happy.
There was a constant stream of monks entering the city, and there was a identification ban at the door, and only monks who had left their breath and had a token could enter it. And Zhang Zhiping and Wu Yong's breath had already been transmitted to the ban when they registered, so they entered the city without the slightest embarrassment.
The prohibition of the entire island is a strict and perfect system, so Lingyuan Island seems to be loose and easily accepts foreign monks, but in fact, every monk on the island is under its control.
Lingyuan City is not big compared to Qingsong City, but the environment is far better, walking on the street, the center of the street is paved with a low-grade spiritual material Xuanqing stone slab, from north to south, with the shape of the formation of nine bends and thirteen bends, like a green dragon ready to fly. On both sides of the street, there are nearly 100 criss-crossing shell lanes that crisscross and form a network, which are long or short, wide or narrow, with high walls and narrow alleys, which are simple and remote.
Although there are many people entering the city, the surprisingly quiet in the city is in stark contrast to the bustle of Menzen Island. This is a city composed entirely of monks, most monks are not as noisy as mortals, and immortal cultivators are deaf and clear-sighted, and many things are not directly said on the streets.
Due to the effect of cultivation, every monk walking on the street has an extraordinary demeanor, either handsome and beautiful, or fairy-like bones, walking on the road with a pleasant expression, harmoniously blending with this simple and beautiful city.
There are no mortals in the exchanges, Zhang Zhiping and Wu Yong look at it, although the monks in the foundation building period are not everywhere, they can be seen everywhere, and the two of them are really inconspicuous here. Seeing this, they couldn't help but smile bitterly, they were really used to staying in the small place of the Five Kingdoms Immortal Cultivation Realm, and they were really a little unaccustomed to seeing so many foundation building period cultivators at once.
But it's okay to be like this, it's best to hide the identities of the two in the city. The two of them suddenly became more and more settled, as if they were really monks from other seas, and they walked around the city with natural expressions.
The shops in the city are lined up, but the various things sold in it are very unfamiliar to the two of them, take the most vivid example, there is also a pill similar to Zhuji Dan for sale here, called Condensate Dan, the function and effect are also similar, but the formula used is different, the main medicine is made of a bone marrow called Xuanyuan Turtle, and there are a large number of breeding on the island, so relatively speaking, the Condensate Pill is not too lacking overseas.
After walking around the city for a long time, I had a simple understanding of the cultivation resources, prices, etc., in general, the utilization of resources in the overseas immortal cultivation world is mainly based on the sea beasts, and they have an extreme use of every sea beast and every part of the sea beast, and the boundless ocean has given birth to endless sea beasts, making the overseas immortal cultivation world flourish, and a large number of high-level monks have emerged.
It's really a great place to practice. However, for Zhang Zhiping and Wu Yong, many basic things have to be re-learned, otherwise it is easy to expose their origins. Besides, the two of them can't sit on the mountain, now it is not as easy to obtain a lot of resources as in the Qingsong Gate, everything has to rely on their own efforts, in the reported specialty, Zhang Zhiping reported the painting talisman, Wu Yong reported the alchemy.
It's just that now it seems that a lot of materials have changed, Zhang Zhiping is okay to say that the rune mainly relies on runes, and it is enough to adapt to the changes in the rune paper a little, while Wu Yong is unlucky to need to relearn the Danfang ratio, which is almost the same as a novice for overseas alchemy.
After walking around, Zhang Zhiping was still smiling, and followed Wu Yong, who had a dark face, to a large shop to buy Shibei, they had to settle down for a period of time before they could integrate into the overseas immortal cultivation world.
Fortunately, the spirit stone is still universal, and after purchasing a large number of stone shells, they will no longer delay, and go to the city lord's mansion to register and receive the cave mansion according to the rules of Lingyuan Island. It's just that the two monks in the early stage of foundation building are really inconspicuous, and the manager in charge of the distribution glanced at the two lazily, and randomly found a remote corner for the two of them on the map, which can be regarded as a cave for them, and they also asked for 30,000 spirit stones each, and they can only live for fifty years.
It's really black-hearted, but Zhang Zhiping and Wu Yong don't care, even the concentration of aura in a remote corner is better than their mansion in Qingsong Gorge, and as long as they are in the immortal cultivation world, the two of them have the means to earn more cultivation resources.
Next, the two of them walked around Lingyuan City again, and learned a lot of basic things, and when it was close to night, the two of them left Lingyuan City and flew towards the cave. Since the two came together, the City Lord's Mansion did not make much of a fuss, and arranged the cave mansion of the two together.
Zangling Mountain stretches for hundreds of miles, and the construction of Lingyuan Island is also built around Zangling Mountain, with cities dotted with stars and bright lights. Flying in the low sky, you can see a large number of caves densely distributed below the mountainside, and there are constantly monks flying up and down from the mountain, full of fairy wind and ancient charm.
Above the mountainside, was the residence of the Venerable Lingyuan and his disciples, shrouded in a layer of powerful prohibition, and a faint cloud filled it, making it impossible to see the specific scene inside.
Their cave mansion is assigned to the remaining veins of the Tibetan Spirit Mountain, the cave mansion has already been opened, and Lingyuan Island prohibits itself from expanding the cave mansion.
The prohibition on the cave has the effect of protecting both the monks and the cave, after all, if you dig the cave at will, it is easy to hurt the spiritual veins. In the past, there were some monks who wanted to secretly dig up the cave and steal the spirit stone, but they were quickly discovered by Lingyuan Island and killed directly on the spot, without mercy.
Soon arrived at the place, the two were temporarily separated, and the cave house assigned by Zhang Zhiping was Cave 18 in District C of Flying Fish City, which was on top of a 500-meter-high cliff, and there was a 100-meter-long platform raised in front of it for the monks to take off and land. Fall on the platform, look at the cliff in front of the lush hanging down layers of rattan, just form an arch; the stone gate of the cave is hidden under the arch, the simple atmosphere, carved dragon and phoenix, there are two stone carvings of strange beasts in front of the door.
It really looks like a bit of fairy charm, Zhang Zhiping looked at it, and happily opened the ban with a token and walked in. Entering the cave, the exquisite candlesticks on the walls immediately lit up, and the burning shark oil emitted bright candlelight and a strange aroma, making the inside not only not look wet and dark, but bright and warm, suitable for habitation.
The cave is not small, and there are thousands of square meters in it, and although the concentration of aura does not reach the level of the inner perimeter of Qingsong Gorge, it also exceeds the middle circumference. Zhang Zhiping walked through the passage to an empty stone hall, where there are nine passages in the branch, which lead to the alchemy room, the refining room, the cultivation room, the spirit beast room, the elixir room, the law room, the classic room, the hospitality room, and the sundries room, which are also connected to each other.
Zhang Zhiping walked around the inside, although it was empty, but the decoration was exquisite, and all kinds of carvings and paintings were pleasing to the eye. He couldn't help but nod with satisfaction, Lingyuan Island was not too harsh in this regard, and the decency and respect that immortal cultivators should have would still be there.
Yes, it's a good place to stay. Zhang Zhiping cultivated in the cultivation room all night, which was a few points better than his mansion in Qingsong Gorge, but not as good as the days when he cultivated in the inner perimeter. However, it is enough to maintain his daily cultivation, and Wu Yong's cave mansion is next to it, so it is very convenient to connect.
In the next few days, Zhang Zhiping and Wu Yong read a lot of stone shells while walking around to familiarize themselves with the environment of Lingyuan Island, and gradually gained a better understanding of the overseas immortal cultivation world.
Compared with the mainland, the overseas immortal cultivators are more closely connected with each other, this is because they often have to face the tide of sea beasts overseas, which makes the immortal cultivators relatively more united, and they unite to form a large alliance, the Spirit Alliance.
The Spirit Alliance is a huge alliance formed by large overseas forces, which is mainly responsible for strengthening the ties between all forces, coordinating defense areas, and jointly resisting the tide of sea beasts. Every large force involved in it has a high-level monk in the Yuan Infant Stage, and Lingyuan Island is one of them.
It's a pity that this kind of glory has nothing to do with Zhang Zhiping and them, they only belong to a member of the Lingyuan Island Immortal Cultivation Realm, not a member of the powerful force of Lingyuan Island, but the obligations they have to bear will not be much less, and they must also obey the dispatch of Lingyuan Island when they go to war.
It's really the squeeze of capital, but fortunately, Lingyuan Island is relatively in the rear, and the battle with the sea beast is not serious. It's just that every once in a while, Lingyuan Island will select a group of monks to be sent to the front line to replenish the resistance forces on the front line.
This is both a danger and an opportunity, because the front line is not just a battlefield, but also a top-level immortal cultivation realm, the Wolong Immortal Cultivation Realm, which is built on a high-level spiritual vein.
The Wolong Islands are distributed in a chain, spanning hundreds of thousands of miles, like a creeping dragon, dividing the sea into two parts: the inland sea and the open sea. Among them, the inner sea belongs to the sphere of influence of immortal cultivators, and there are no too powerful sea beasts, while the outer sea is rampant with sea beasts and many demon clans, and large-scale battles often break out in order to compete for high-level spiritual veins.
However, it is precisely because of the existence of high-level spiritual veins that the cultivation speed in the Wolong Immortal Cultivation Realm far exceeds that of other immortal cultivation realms, plus participating in the sea beast battle can be exchanged for the Golden Pill, so the possibility of breaking through the Golden Pill period here is far greater than in other places.
Therefore, for the monks of the foundation building period, the front line is not a place where they have heard of it, and it can even be said that most of the overseas Jindan monks broke through on the front line.
