Entering Juying Hall, the first thing that catches Chang Shan's eyes is a dark gold square tripod, the big tripod is tall, and there is a dark gold giant sword suspended in the middle.

Seeing this giant sword, Chang Shan couldn't help but turn his head and glance at the giant sword behind Che Yonglu.

"According to legend, this giant sword is an immortal soldier!"

"Immortal soldiers?"

Staring at the giant sword above Dading, Chang Shan looked shocked.

In the cultivation world, the artifacts used to cast spells are called magic weapons, and the artifacts used to perform martial arts are called weapons. Magic weapons are divided into spiritual weapons, immortal weapons, and artifacts, and weapons are also divided into spiritual weapons, immortal soldiers, and divine weapons.

Under the subdivision, whether it is a magic weapon or a weapon, it can be divided into upper, middle and lower grades.

The cultivation world is a place with a very strict level, cultivators are divided into nine levels according to their cultivation, and magic weapons are also divided into nine ranks.

Chang Shan has a low-grade spiritual weapon Diyuan Bead on his body, but he doesn't have a low-grade spirit soldier, and the Earth Spirit Sect's inheritance treasure Earth Spirit Sword is only a high-grade spirit soldier.

Now, when he suddenly saw an immortal soldier, he was naturally extremely shocked in his heart.

"Brother Chang, please!"

"Please!"

Chang Shan glanced at the giant sword again, and then walked with Che Yonglu to a large hall on the right.

To join the outer gate of the Giant Sword Gate, you need to pay twenty spirit stones, and you need to pay another ten spirit stones to live in Juying Hall. Even though Chang Shan had more than a thousand spirit stones on his body, he still felt a little distressed.

Out of the main hall, Che Yonglu saw Chang Shan pinching the storage bag on his waist from time to time, and said with a smile: "Ten spirit stones a year, the rent in Juying Hall is definitely the cheapest in Juque City." ”

"It's much cheaper than the inn outside!"

Chang Shan replied with a smile, and asked Chang Shan about the various rules in Juying Hall.

There are not many rules set by the Giant Sword Gate for the Juying Hall, as long as there is no big trouble in the Juying Hall, the Giant Sword Gate will not care about the affairs in the Juying Hall.

However, Juyingtang has existed for 30,000 years, and there are some conventions in Juyingtang. These rules are like the customs of a region, and if the cultivators who enter the Juying Hall do not follow these rules, they will definitely be ostracized.

In the Juying Hall, if a cultivator was excluded, other cultivators would not be willing to go on a mission with him, and as a result, this cultivator would not be able to accumulate enough merit in exchange for cultivating in the Star Array.

The reason why the cultivators in the Juying Hall joined the outer gate of the Giant Sword Gate was because the disciples of the outer gate of the giant sword gate could exchange their merits for the opportunity to enter the Star Array for cultivation, and if a cultivator was excluded and could not accumulate the credit needed to enter the Star Array for cultivation, he could only choose to withdraw from the outer gate of the Giant Sword Gate.

While talking, Chang Shan and Che Yonglu walked to a seven-story building.

The building in Juying Hall is very regular, four high-rise buildings are a group, and there will be a martial arts arena with a length and width of more than 20 zhang in the middle of the four high-rise buildings.

When Chang Shan and Che Yonglu walked to the high-rise building they rented, there were people fighting on the martial arts arena.

Chang Shan wanted to walk over to have a look, but when he saw that Che Yonglu just glanced over there, he walked up the stairs and didn't go over.

"It is inevitable that some friction will occur when the outer disciples go out on a mission, and the martial arts arena is a place to settle grievances for those outer disciples who have friction. We don't know much about the forces in Juyingtang now, so it's best not to join in that kind of excitement. ”

Chang Shan nodded and stepped up the stairs with Che Yonglu.

Since most of the people in the building were on the edge of the martial arts arena, they hadn't even touched a single cultivator before they arrived at their residence.

The residences of Changshan and Cheyong Road are on the fifth floor, but they do not live next to each other, and there are seven rooms in between.

After making an appointment to visit the cultivators on the same floor, the two separated.

Chang Shan walked to the front of his house, took out a piece of hexagonal spirit jade and put it on the hexagonal depression on the door, a few pale yellow lights flashed on the door, and with a squeak, a small opening was opened.

glanced at the door of Cheyong Road, and saw that Cheyong Road had already entered, Chang Shan pushed the door and walked in.

The room is not small, the furnishings in the room are very simple, except for a bed, a chair, a desk, there is only an empty bookshelf.

Chang Shan glanced at the simple furnishings in the room and sat cross-legged on the bed.

After closing his eyes for a while, Chang Shan couldn't cultivate carefully, so he opened his eyes.

"Shall I visit them myself?"

Chang Shan hesitated for a while, but he still couldn't pay attention, and felt irritable, so he tilted his body and lay on the bed obliquely.

Lying on the bed, Chang Shan first remembered the life of the Earth Spirit Sect back then, and then imagined his future life.

Cultivators cultivate not only to practice qi, but also to achieve enlightenment.

The so-called Qi training is to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and enhance one's own spiritual power, and the so-called enlightenment is to perceive the way of heaven and earth.

Human beings have a limited lifespan, and since the time when they knew how to cultivate, human beings began to look for shortcuts to cultivation.

In the process of searching for shortcuts to qi training, human beings have created various secret books of divine skills, created elixirs to increase vitality, and created formations to gather spiritual energy; in the process of finding shortcuts to enlightenment, the greatest achievement of human beings is the discovery of star stones and the creation of star arrays.

Astral stones are found among the stars in the sky and were first discovered in meteorites.

When humans first discovered the star stone, they directly used the star stone to cultivate. Since the star stone is too scarce, direct cultivation will quickly consume the special spiritual power called star power in the star stone, so the human race has created a star array that can warm and replenish the star power in the star stone.

A cultivator, whether he is directly cultivating with the Star Pattern Stone or cultivating in the Star Array, when this cultivator comprehends the mysteries contained in the star power, a rune will appear on his Yuan Dan.

This rune contains the Dao that the cultivator has realized, and it is called the Dao pattern.

No matter what cultivation level a cultivator is in, there can only be a maximum of nine Dao patterns on his Yuan Dan.

When a cultivator reaches the peak of a cultivation level, he will encounter a heavenly tribulation, and after the tribulation, the Dao pattern on the Yuan Dan will be fused into the Yuan Dan, at this time, the cultivator's true yuan will have special properties, and when using some spells or martial arts that can bring out the characteristics of the true element, it often has extraordinary power, which is what the cultivation world often says, "After the heavenly tribulation, the divine power is self-generated." ”

Not to mention that there are many unforeseen dangers in the cultivation world, just to survive the Heavenly Tribulation, cultivators need to master some extremely powerful spells or martial arts.

For a faction, the star array is indispensable.

Because of this, a single star stone is enough to cause a great strife between forces.

Back then, Shang Yun died under the siege of the Liu family in Qiping Mountain because of a star-patterned stone.

At a cultivation level, the number of Dao patterns that a cultivator's Yuan Dan can carry is directly related to whether the cultivator's Yuan Dan is condensed or not.

Generally speaking, the lower grade Yuan Dan can only carry up to three dao patterns, the middle grade Yuan Dan can only carry up to six dao patterns, and the upper grade Yuan Dan can carry up to nine dao patterns.

Although most cultivators' chances and comprehension were not enough for them to have the possibility of condensing the Nine Dao Patterns, all cultivators would try their best to condense as many Dao Patterns as possible on top of the Yuan Dan at one cultivation level.

Since the elixir that condenses the Yuan Dan is very precious, even if it is a descendant disciple of a great force, if most cultivators fail to condense the top-grade Yuan Dan when they are condensed at the time of the Heavenly Tribulation, they can only take the risk of using the secret method to condense the Yuan Dan with the power of the Heavenly Tribulation when they cross the Heavenly Tribulation.

The Yuan Dan in Chang Shan's body is a top-grade Yuan Dan, but before surviving the first Heavenly Tribulation, does he have enough understanding and opportunity to condense the nine Dao patterns on the Yuan Dan?

Thinking about it, Chang Shan's eyes were full of confusion.

"If there are too few Dao patterns condensed on the Yuan Dan, after surviving the first Heavenly Tribulation, will the top-grade Yuan Dan degenerate into a medium-grade Yuan Dan?"

After a while, Chang Shan smiled bitterly and muttered to himself: "It seems too early to think about this now!"

When people reminisce, it is easy to forget the passage of time.

Chang Shan didn't feel how much time had passed, and Che Yonglu's voice sounded outside the house.

"Brother Chang!"

"It's coming!"

In response, Chang Shan opened the door.

"It's time?"

"Hmm!"

Che Yonglu nodded and said with a smile: "Brother Chang has really worked hard in his cultivation!"

Chang Shan didn't defend himself, closed the door, glanced at Che Yonglu, and turned his gaze to the room closest to Chang Shan's residence in the middle of their residence.

Che Yonglu turned his head and smiled at Chang Shan, then opened his mouth and shouted into the house: "The senior brother in the house is here?"

After waiting for a while, seeing that no one answered, Che Yonglu smiled bitterly at Chang Shan, walked a few steps to the location where the stairs were, and arrived in front of another room, took a deep breath, and shouted to the house: "Is the senior brother in the house here?"

The two of them ate six times in a row, and when they arrived at the room next to Cheyong Road, the cultivators inside opened the door in response.

This cultivator looked about the same age as Che Yonglu, with a thin body, dark skin, and slightly deeper eye sockets than ordinary people, giving people a somewhat gloomy and cold feeling overall.

After sweeping over Che Yonglu and Chang Shan, the cultivator said in an extremely cold tone, "Give Deng five spirit stones, and Deng will tell you some things you should know." ”

"Five spirit stones! This person is really dark!"

Chang Shan was stunned for a moment, and turned his gaze to Che Yonglu.

Che Yonglu hesitated, turned his head to look at Xiao Yu and said, "Five spirit stones, half of us." ”

Chang Shan also hesitated for a moment and nodded slightly.

Seeing Chang Shan nodding, Che Yonglu took out five spirit stones from the storage bag on his waist and handed them to the cultivator surnamed Deng.

After the cultivator surnamed Deng took the spirit stone and received it in the storage bag, he took out a piece of jade slip and threw it to Che Yonglu.

Che Yonglu took the jade slip and just wanted to thank him, when the cultivator surnamed Deng closed the door.

With a wry smile, Che Yonglu handed the jade slip to Chang Shan.

Chang Shan took the jade slip and probed it with the power of the Yuan Shen, and a lot of information appeared in his mind.

The price demanded by the cultivator surnamed Deng was indeed high, but the information he gave was also worth the money. Chang Shan investigated the contents of the jade slip, not only knowing the division of forces in the Juying Hall, but also having a clearer understanding of some of the conventions and rules in the Juying Hall.

Taking a deep breath, Chang Shan handed the jade slip back to Che Yonglu.

(Fossil writes books as much as possible, and there are too many novels on the Internet where the protagonist cultivates alone, so Fossil came up with such a set of settings, so that the protagonist must be attached to the big forces at least in the early stage.) ）
