Chapter 289: Zhaoyang City

The ground of the square where the spirit boat docked is depicted with the sun and moon, cloud patterns, and a vivid nine-tailed fox. The outer circle is engraved with heaven and earth spiritual objects, fragments of the Yuan Shi Dao Sutra, and various extremely complex formations.

After getting off the spiritual boat, you can see the continuous hillside, there are yellow and green, which are hollowed out and used as shops and inns.

The whole city is like a miniature mountain range, undulating, the highest green hill is in the clouds, standing behind the square, and the monks of all levels enter and exit, looking similar to the role of the heroes of the Wandering City.

He Miaomiao walked around the city and found that the distribution of the hillside was also very regular, with the square as the center, forming nine cantilever arms, which were dispersed and expanded according to the spiral, and the closest to the square was the small family, followed by the shop, and then the inn.

The outermost nine hillsides surround the entire city, but there is no one inside, the surrounding formations are heavy, and it is impossible to approach, and there is an exposed bow-shaped spirit weapon at the top, which looks like a place to defend against enemies in a siege war.

The ground of the whole city is semi-soft soil, and a shallow layer of grass grows on it, which is uneven and can be restored to its original state as soon as people pass by.

He Miaomiao did not hurry to leave, and after renting a cave mansion on the outer hillside, he went straight to the shop in the city and bought a map of the central part and an introduction to the city under the Tu Shan clan.

The cave where she lives is a small hillside near the city. The first floor was hollowed out to become a hall for the low-ranking monks to eat, and the steps of the stone building extended upwards to the top floor.

Each floor has been dug out of many small rooms as caves, dotted with various illuminated ores, shrouded in countless formations, without the dim and damp of the mountain caves.

He Miaomiao took out the circular token and inserted it into the stone wall outside the compartment, the formation closed with a hum, and after entering, he used the token to inlay the inner stone wall, and the formation could be activated.

The cubicles are tiny, and the doorway faces a knee-high stone bed with a soft cushion for meditating or lying down. Nothing else.

However, it only costs fifty spirit stones, which is much cheaper than the inn in Xiaoyao City, not to mention that it is just a temporary rest, and He Miaomiao doesn't care about the environment inside.

Taking out the map of the central part and looking at it carefully against the introduction of the city, she realized that the central part is more vast than the west, and the number of monks and the number of mundane countries are twice as large as that of the west.

The shape of the whole central part is like a half moon, the west is the inner arc, which envelops the great wilderness, and the outer arc connects to the east coast, the north caters to the void, and the south is close to the polar flame. There are a total of 199 immortal cultivation cities, including 19 large cities, 80 medium-sized cities, and 100 small cities, and Zhaoyang City is one of the small cities.

Most of the cities here are like Zhaoyang City, which is divided into several cantilevers of different heights and low slopes and scattered in a spiral shape, and one of the large cities has more than 20 cantilevers composed of hillsides.

And these are all managed by the Tu Shan clan, every city lord, every family in the city, and even every monk living in the city are all subordinates of the royal family.

Not to mention the spirit vein ore vein, even if a family has lived on a spirit vein for 10,000 years, they only have the right to mine, not the right to belong.

As long as the spirit stone is produced and can be mined, it has to be reported layer by layer. After opening the spirit stone, no matter how many or too many, a certain amount must be handed over to the Tu Shan clan, otherwise the family can wait to change places to live.

The monks who were born and raised in the central part of the country all have an identity token, which is issued by the royal family, and contains information such as blood and divine consciousness imprints and belonging to the city.

As long as you have a token, you can be protected by all the cities in the central part of the city, and if there are high-ranking monks who oppress you, and there are shops who force you to buy and sell, you can submit a lawsuit to the city lord's mansion.

Without tokens, there is no protection.

However, in the entire central part, once the robber is caught by the patrol monks, he will be punished with capital punishment, so that even in the wilderness, even if it is a casual cultivator, he only has to worry about the demon beast, and he does not have to worry about someone robbing him.

As for earning spirit stones, the middle part is somewhat similar to the Scattered Cultivation Pool.

No matter how big or small the city, there will be missions every year, and collecting spirit plants, demon beast materials, etc. is the most basic, as well as high-level tasks such as arresting certain monks who have committed serious crimes, and going to some dangerous places to get treasures.

In short, the reward is not small, and you can experience it on the way, except for the task items, you can also sell it separately, and it is a rare person to rob monks.

He Miaomiao felt that according to Yujian, the royal family seemed to have strict management, but in fact, there were not many rules.

For example, the so-called serious crimes only have two articles: insulting the royal family and infringing on the interests of the royal family. For a system as large as the Tu Shan clan, it would be strange not to have these rules.

There are also some slightly minor crimes, such as robbery, forced buying and selling, murder in the city, abduction and deception, and so on.

These rules seem to restrict the freedom of the monks, but in fact they are a great benefit to the monks living in the central part of the country, even if they are casual cultivators in the West.

The domineering nature of the royal family and the restriction of the monks' actions spread in the West made He Miaomiao feel a little deliberately demeaning.

Scattered cultivation is not taboo against evil cultivation, but in the sphere of influence of the royal family, there is almost no place for the evil way to survive.

After all, if you want to absorb essence blood, make corpse refining, collect essence souls, etc., you can't do without abducting and forcibly kidnapping people, which violates the rules set by the royal family, even if you don't restrict the exercises and restrict your actions, it will have the same effect.

When He Miaomiao saw this, she was relieved of her imperial city and her party.

A place with heavy rules is not free, but it is rare to be safe. Just like entering the sect will be sheltered, walking in the middle, you only need to avoid demon beasts, and your life is almost safe.

Of course, the premise is that she can't reveal her surname.

As long as the surname is a sin, it is a sin in the middle.

After He Miaomiao finished reading the jade slip, it was not evening outside, there were no items to buy in the small city, she didn't want to go out to hang out, so she sat cross-legged on the soft cushion of the stone bed and began her daily cultivation.

The second weight of the "Primordial True Scripture", she has long been familiar with it, and she doesn't need to think about it deliberately, she can follow the trajectory of the meridians, run the spiritual power, and circulate Xiao Zhoutian.

Xiao Zhou Tian is the process of refining qi and building the foundation, and when it reaches the Jindan period, you can run the Great Zhou Tian according to the Gong Fa. At that time, the time spent on cultivation was increasing day by day, and it was a retreat for high-level monks, all of which were calculated on a monthly and annual basis.

Becoming a Yuanying Monk and a Great Cultivator of the Transformation of Gods, the practice of martial arts is even more complicated, coupled with the cultivation of the state of mind, a small pass is very likely to be closed for several years and decades.

The foundation building period is the most important thing, the wood of the hug is born at the end of the millennium, and the nine-story platform starts from the soil, the so-called foundation building is to lay a solid foundation for the future cultivation road to go further.

He Miaomiao never had the mentality of taking shortcuts when it came to cultivation. Even when she practiced the "Nine Transformation Blood Decision", she never delayed her meditation and luck.

Take one step at a time, steadily, even if it is slower, you will eventually reach your destination. 91
