Ye Qin, Elder Yan and the others said goodbye, and after Yu Jian Fei returned to his other courtyard halfway up the mountain of Qingquan Peak, he packed up a few clothes of the disciples of the Qingdan Sect Foundation Building, as well as a large number of books and jade slips copied from the Qingdan Library Pavilion. Not only cultivation books, but also some biographies of immortal cultivators, etc., were put in storage bags.

I thought there was nothing else to bring.

He had been preparing for this expedition for most of the past half a year, and had already refined dozens of Dan bottles in advance, each of which was filled with the Guiyuan Pill needed for the cultivation of low-level cultivators in the foundation building period, even if he was on the road, he could still take the Dan to cultivate, and there would not be the slightest delay for a day.

Ye Qin thought for a while, and sent the last transmission note to Huangfu Bing'er, who was in retreat at Qingdan Peak, to say goodbye to her. This time, at least for more than three years, it is impossible to determine when he will be able to return.

Half a day later, I received a transmission note from Huangfu Bing'er. It didn't say much, only one sentence, "I will retreat for three years, cultivate wholeheartedly, and try my best to become a Dan as soon as possible." ”

Ye Qin was silent.

Yes, Yudan. There is no other way to go except for Yutan. With Huangfu Bing'er's ice and snow intelligence, of course he has thought of all methods, but only this one is the best way out. Only by becoming a monk can you get rid of the shackles from your family.

He went out to practice this time, and he also couldn't delay the progress of his cultivation.

He recruited Peng Yuan and Peng Dan, two brothers and sisters, and handed over the courtyard and the medicine garden to the two brothers and sisters to take care of. The monthly salaries paid by the sect to the monks of the foundation were also collected by them on their behalf, and were used to pay for the miscellaneous disciples hired in the annex and the medicine garden.

The brother and sister were very reluctant, although Ye Qin usually only cared about cultivation and was indifferent to them, but he never lost their benefits, and he didn't treat them as outsiders. Compared to other foundation building monks, it is already quite good.

Peng Yuan even patted his chest and assured that after Ye Qin came back from his training, a large number of spiritual herbs with gratifying growth would definitely have grown in the medicine garden. The money Ye Qin paid will definitely get the greatest return.

After doing this, Ye Qin waved them out, and stayed alone in the attic to close his eyes and meditate.

The morning after the second day.

Yan Xuan, Zhu Changyun, Lu Yuan, and Ye Qin, the four foundation-building monks, each took their bags and left the Qingdan Mountain Gate, and flew together towards the east of the Lingwu Mountain Range.

Among the four of them, Yan, Zhu, and Lu were all once blue-clothed disciples, and they were from the Great Cultivation Immortal family.

Among them, Yan Xuan has the highest status and is the daughter of Elder Yan.

Zhu and Lu followed.

Zhu Changyun is the son of the second elder Zhu of the Qingdanmen, handsome in appearance, and quite a bit conceited and suave.

Lu Yuan is a core disciple in blue, white and chubby like a smiling businessman, a group of harmonious spirits.

Ye Qin is a disciple of Tsing Yi, born in casual cultivation, with no status at all, he very consciously bowed to the last seat, and called the other three senior sisters and senior brothers. The four of them are now all monks on the first level of the foundation building monks, and their cultivation is the same, so naturally they can only be ranked according to their background and status.

I don't know why, Ye Qin always sensed a trace of hostility and disdain from this Zhu Changyun's gaze, which made him very puzzled. He thought to himself that he had only seen this Senior Brother Zhu for a few days, and there should be no place to offend this Senior Brother Zhu.

Fortunately, Yan Xuan and Lu Yuan have great kindness to him. Yan Xuan once partnered with Ye Qin in the trial of the Wankuling Cave, and also gave two Zhuji Dan, Yan Xuan was able to successfully build the foundation because of these two Zhuji Dan, and it is normal to have a good impression of him. Lu Yuan is Yan Xuan's cousin, and the family naturally will not see anything out of Ye Qin.

Ye Qin deliberately avoided that Zhu Changyun, and only chatted with Lu Yuan when he had nothing to do.

The four of them hurried all night, flying for more than ten days in a row, occasionally resting in the Lingwu Mountains on the way to recover their mana. On this day, they finally flew out of the Lingwu Mountain Range and arrived at the sky above the Lingwu Grand Canyon, where they could see a huge bluestone city on the Gobi Desert in the distance - Xianyuan City. Even if you look down from the sky, this city of immortal cultivators is still majestic.

Zhu Changyun flew in the front, and when he saw Xianyuan City on the Gobi Desert in the distance, he immediately showed joy, turned around and smiled at Yan Xuan: "Hehe, Senior Sister Yan, I finally arrived, I almost suffocated to death at the mountain gate, let's rest in Xianyuan City for more than ten days first, and then go to Northern Qi Kingdom." What do you think?"

Yan Xuan glanced back at Ye Qin and Lu Yuan, she was in a hurry these days, and nodded in agreement.

Ye Qin and Lu Yuan flew behind side by side without hurrying. This trip is led by Yan Xuan, as long as Yan Xuan agrees, it doesn't matter whether the two of them agree or not. Lu Yuan didn't dare to go against Yan Xuan's intentions.

Ye Qin naturally chose to be silent. In the past ten days, Zhu, Yan and others have come up with ideas, and he occasionally chats with Lu Yuan and Lu Fatzi more harmoniously.

Lu Yuan didn't discuss with Zhu Changyun without discussing with him, and directly decided to live in Xianyuan City, a little dissatisfied, and said in a low voice: "This experience has a direct relationship with my Lu family. That Zhu Changyun was purely here to make up the numbers, and he didn't take this experience to heart at all. I'm sure he won't do much when he arrives in Northern Qi. Also, Senior Brother Ye, that Zhu boy used to be very close to Wu Zijian, and he had some friendship, so it's normal to see that you are not pleasing to the eye. But you don't have to worry, that Wu Zijian has been confined for three years, and he doesn't know if he can build a foundation, Zhu Xiaozi can't do anything to you for the surname Wu, it won't do him any good, he won't come out of this. ”

Ye Qin looked at Lu Yuan in surprise, but he didn't expect that this Senior Brother Lu was quite careful, and he actually noticed Zhu Changyun's different color. Said: "That's why he doesn't like me?"

Lu Yuan rolled his eyes and said angrily: "Of course there are a lot, he is hostile to you, but I'm afraid it's more because of my cousin." My cousin has a lot of admirers in the Qingdan Sect, and he is one of them. My cousin has a good impression of you, and even a blind person can see that she has been studying for you for two years after returning from the Wankuling trial. This Zhu boy is thinking about my cousin in his heart, so he will naturally hate you. However, Zhu Xiaozi wants to double cultivate with my cousin, but it is a fool's dream. The Yan family has no friendship with the Zhu family at all, and there is no need to marry their family at all. ”

Ye Qin continued to be silent, Lu Yuan's words involved the entanglement between several families in the sect, he didn't know the depth inside, so he could only shut up and avoid getting angry.

Lu Yuan glanced at Ye Qin, who was silent and silent, even if he talked about his cousin's double cultivation partner, he didn't move anything, and nodded secretly in his heart, what my uncle said was right, this Senior Brother Ye was really unusually calm, not impatient or impatient, just this bearing can be called a talent.

His experience in going to the Northern Qi Kingdom this time, in fact, there is also an order from Elder Yan, that is, to observe Ye Qin's actions, if Ye Qin has any wrong thoughts and tries to marry the Yan family without his own strength, there is no need to support him anymore, and he will not be reused in the future.

However, now it seems that Senior Brother Ye does not seem to have the slightest intention of getting close to Yan Xuan, relying on Yan Xuan to cling to the Yan family.

Lu Yuan said secretly, this alone is enough to see that this Senior Brother Ye has self-knowledge and knows what he deserves and what he doesn't. Calm, with a mind, knowing how to advance and retreat, even if it is a casual cultivation background, it is completely worth cultivating. He had already made up his mind and tried his best to persuade the elders of the family to absorb this Senior Brother Ye into the Lu family.

He couldn't help but smile and said, "Senior Brother Ye, in fact, I envy you for being a loose cultivator, at least there are no elders involved, you can do whatever you want." Family monks like us are always involuntary and must obey the family's arrangements. It's better for foundation-building disciples like us to say something, and we can have some autonomy. If you are a disciple of the Qi cultivation period, you don't even have the qualifications to speak, and you need to do what the family needs to do as you arrange it. After I went to Northern Qi, my Lu family has a lot of women in the Qi cultivation period, all of them are like flowers and jade, you just have to tell my senior brother if you fancy it. I don't need someone else to call the shots. ”

Lu Yuan squeezed his eyebrows and smiled.

Ye Qin pretended to be stupid, pulled up another topic, and said, "Then why don't we hurry up and hurry?" Senior Sister Yan, you, and I are enough to decide the itinerary, there is no need to delay time in Xianyuan City, Senior Brother Zhu is afraid that he can only obey. ”

Lu Yuanbai was chubby, aimed at Ye Qin, and playfully showed a smile that all men understand, and said, "Senior Brother Ye, we know that you are in a hurry to go to Northern Qi." However, there is no hurry to work these days. Do you know how far it is from Xianyuan City to Northern Qi Kingdom?"

Ye Qinqi said: "I don't know, I don't have a map scroll here." Far away?"

Lu Yuan said loudly: "Of course, even if it is the flight of the imperial sword, it will take nearly a year to go back and forth." Staying in this Xianyuan City for a few days will not delay the trip, and besides, Xianyuan City is the distribution place of the disciples of the entire Lingwu Cultivation Immortal Sect, and there are a lot of good things here. The last time I visited, I was taken for a walk by the elders, and this time I just went to check it out, and maybe I could find something useful. Let's go, it's here!"

Lu Yuan said with a smile, and the flying sword under his feet turned and fell down.

Ye Qin was stunned for a moment, and suddenly felt a huge pulling force below, pulling his flying sword down.

It turned out that while they were chatting, the four of them had already passed through the sky above the Spirit Mist Grand Canyon and flew to Xianyuan City, which had a forbidden sky formation and could not fly on it. You can only land outside Xianyuan City and walk into the city.

The dozens of gold-armored guards at the gate of the city, who didn't even check the tokens, saw that the four of them wearing Qingdanmen costumes arrived together, and immediately nodded respectfully and let them go. And outside the city gate, all the Qi cultivation stage disciples who were preparing to enter the city, whether they were casual cultivators or family cultivators, were very conscious of giving way to the road.

Ye Qin walked on the bluestone streets in the city and sighed in his heart. This Immortal Yuan City is still as lively as it was six years ago, and many Qi cultivation period cultivators are busy practicing in the annual Lingwu Grand Canyon trial.

They found a luxurious inn in the city and stayed for the time being. In the following days, they were each doing their own thing.

Zhu Changyun hurriedly said goodbye to the three of them, and went directly to the city with his eyebrows fluttering, saying that he was a friend.

Lu Yuan just sneered, with a look of disdain, as if he knew what Zhu Changyun was going to do. There are high-level controls in Qingdanmen, and they don't dare to mess around. No one cares about this Xianyuan City, and it's not like you can do whatever you want.

Lu Yuan planned to visit an elder of the Lu family in Xianyuan City, it was inconvenient to go with Ye Qin, bid farewell to Ye Qin, and after discussing ten days, reunite in this inn, and then go to the Northern Qi Kingdom.

Yan Xuan went to the street, saying that she wanted to buy some sachets, hair buns and other items for the friars.

In the end, Ye Qin was depressed to find that he was the only one left in the inn. He hadn't thought that he would stay in Xianyuan City for ten days halfway, so naturally he didn't know what to do for a while.

He thought about it for a moment and simply went to the underground market for a walk.

This underground market is definitely not the public market in the city, and all that is bought and sold there is just the garbage items of some Qi cultivation stage disciples.

Lu Yuan once mentioned that there was a secret underground market in this Xianyuan City, which was specially used for trading between the disciples of the various sects in the foundation building period, buying and selling expensive items that only monks in the foundation building period used.

This underground market is the property of the Loose Cultivation Alliance, and its reputation is extremely high, and it will not reveal the background of the buyer and seller. The foundation building monks of the major immortal sects in the Lingwu Mountain Range all like to come here to trade. The underground trade in Xianyuan City is almost the densest place in the entire Lingwu Immortal Cultivation Realm.

Only then did Ye Qin realize that this Immortal Yuan City was not just a city where a large number of Qi cultivation stage disciples gathered, it was more important than he imagined. At the very least, this is the trading center of the foundation building monks of the major immortal cultivation sects.

However, although there was such a fang market in Xianyuan City, Lu Yuan left in too much hurry, and he didn't tell him exactly where this fang market was, but said that many monks knew it and just asked someone for directions.

Ye Qin found a guy from the inn and asked where the underground fang city was, but he didn't know anything. This guy has only been in Xianyuan City for a few years, and he doesn't know that there is an underground secret city.

Ye Qin was a little annoyed, changed into an ordinary monk's long uniform without any markings, left the inn, and walked onto the streets of Xianyuan City, strolling around. Since he didn't know where the underground fang city was, he could only go to the refining workshop and spirit pavilion in Xianyuan City to take a look, and maybe he could find the items he used.

Ye Qin was walking on the street when his eyes suddenly moved. He saw an old Taoist priest with a dog skin plaster on his head, who was pulling a few new Qi cultivation period monks on the street to do business, but he was sprayed with saliva on his face by those newcomers, scolding liars.

The old Taoist priest with dog skin plaster shouted bad luck.

Ye Qin smiled lightly, thought of something, stepped a little, his body moved quickly like smoke, and he came to the side of the dogskin Taoist in three or two steps, and said with a smile: "The dogskin Taoist, has business been good recently?"

The dog-skinned old Taoist priest lowered his head in frustration, and was approached without being alert, startled, and glared at Ye Qin with wide eyes. His cultivation was too low, he was only one level in the Qi cultivation period, although he noticed that Ye Qin's cultivation was much higher than him, but he couldn't find out how much higher it was, and in a panic, he thought that he was here to collect debts, so he hurriedly covered the plaster on his forehead and denied it: "This Dao Master, you have recognized the wrong person, the person you have seen is definitely not my cousin of Poor Dao! Poor Dao definitely does not owe you a spirit stone!"

Ye Qin smiled: "Don't be nervous, just ask you for a way and I'll give you money." ”

"Find the way, this poor road is walking. ”

When the dogskin Taoist priest heard that it was a business that could make money, he immediately smiled and said: "This Taoist master, please tell me, where you want to go, the poor Taoist knows everything! However, the fee depends on where you want to go." ”

"How do you get to the underground market in Xianyuan City? There are a lot of foundation building monks buying and selling in that place. Don't tell me you don't know, it's weird that a snake like you doesn't know. ”

"Underground City?"

The dogskin Taoist priest was surprised, thought for a while, and made a bitter face: "The poor road doesn't know, but the poor road knows that there is a place where there are often foundation-building monks of various factions coming and going." But the poor Dao cultivation is low, and he has never entered it. ”

"Oh, where?"

"That place needs a low-grade spirit stone, otherwise the poor Dao won't dare to say it!"

The dogskin Taoist laughed.

Ye Qin handed him a spirit stone.

The dogskin Taoist took the spirit stone, was overjoyed, and immediately smiled: "It's in the Xianyuan Palace, the center of Xianyuan City!"

Ye Qin was puzzled: "Immortal Yuan Palace, isn't it the important place of the Scattered Cultivation Alliance, where outsiders are forbidden to enter and leave. Where did it become an underground market?"

The dogskin Taoist priest refused to say anything, just smiled and squinted his face and rubbed his hands. "A question to collect a spirit stone. ”

Ye Qin frowned, took out another low-grade spirit stone, and threw it over.

The dogskin Taoist priest caught the spirit stone and said with a smile: "Poor Dao doesn't dare to deceive, why is the underground fang market located, I don't know." However, the poor road has been in Xianyuan City for decades, and I have never been to any place in this Xianyuan City, but this Xianyuan Hall is guarded by a foundation monk, and I can't enter it at all. And only the foundation monks can enter here. If there is an underground market in Xianyuan City, it must be the Xianyuan Palace.

The main entrance of the Xianyuan Hall is rarely opened, and those foundation-building monks all enter through the side door of the Xianyuan Palace. This Taoist master is refreshing, and the poor Taoist comes with a little secret. This Xianyuan City has two powerful defensive formations, one of which is built on the four walls of the city. Another more powerful large array was built in this Immortal Yuan Palace. Even if the city is breached and the entire Xianyuan City is destroyed, as long as this Xianyuan Palace is safe, Xianyuan City can be rebuilt. It is not easy to break these two formations of defense. I think back then, Xianyuan City was destroyed several times"

Ye Qin didn't have the time to listen to the dogskin Taoist talk about the history and legends of Xianyuan City, and he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to finish talking about it for three years, so he interrupted him and said, "Take me to the side gate of the Xianyuan Palace!" ”

When the dogskin Taoist priest heard Ye Qin make this request, he was immediately dumbfounded: "Uh, you want to go in, are you always a foundation building monk?"

Ye Qin stared at him coldly, and said coldly, "Isn't it like that?"

The dogskin Taoist was shocked, suddenly hit a spirit, came to his senses, quickly nodded, and obediently led the way in front. In his heart, he secretly exclaimed Mom, he was really old, his eyes were clumsy, and he accidentally knocked on the Zhuji monk by knocking on the bamboo pole, but fortunately, this Taoist master spoke politely, and he didn't have the same knowledge as him, otherwise he didn't know what the end would be.
