Chapter 13: The Mountain City

"It's a pity that everyone's breath is unique, and the disguise can change the appearance and change the breath, but it can't perfectly imitate the breath of others, pretending to be someone else's ......" After feeling the art of changing the appearance, Xiong Lin carefully put away the jade slip and picked up the three books.

Three books, one is the exercise 'Earth Spirit Sutra', which is obviously the practice of the man surnamed Nahou, but unfortunately it is still inconsistent with Xiong Lin's xing, and he can't practice. One is Vientiane Record, Xiong Lin flipped through it casually, and found that there were some small changes in the content compared to the one in his hand, and it can be seen that some of the content recorded in it has been updated, after all, the book in Xiong Lin's hand is probably a hundred years ago.

There is also a book, Xiong Lin accidentally found that it was actually a Dan Sutra, called 'Zhou Xu Dan Sutra'. Xiong Lin flipped through it and found that it was the notes of an alchemist named Zhou Xu, most of which recorded some of his alchemy experiences and insights.

"It seems that this alchemist named Zhou Xu is probably more than lucky...... "Xiong Lin can imagine that this must be the result of the murder and plundering of goods by the man surnamed Hou.

I sorted it out again, and saw that there was no other harvest. Xiong Lin also sat down cross-legged, and while he began to breathe, he slowly comprehended the technique of 'changing shape and breathing', waiting for dawn.

......

There was nothing to do all night, and when the morning light was slightly on, Xiong Lin set off towards Yuhua Peak.

Xiong Lin is hundreds of miles away from Yuhua Peak, but there are many deep mountains and old forests among them, and there are some demon beasts hidden. It was inevitable that there would be several detours along the way, and by the time he arrived at the foot of Yuhua Peak, it was already dusk when the sun was setting.

Under the reflection of a sunset, Yuhua Peak goes straight into the clouds, majestic and beautiful blending, and it is beautiful for a while.

"Whew...... Finally arrived at the ......" Xiong Lin exhaled lightly, and began to climb the mountain in the sunset, all he walked was deep mountains and old forests, perhaps because the Jiuli Sect was located, and there were no demon beasts entrenched nearby.

Although there are no demon beasts entrenched, the fierce birds and beasts in the mountains, rugged and full of thorns, are not passable by mortals. Approaching the mountainside, there is also a large array, which blends into the mountain, it is a big maze, if you don't know the method, even if there are mortal warriors coming here, there is no way to enter.

The 'Nine Pear Chronicles' naturally recorded the law of passage, and Xiong Lin passed smoothly. At this time, it was already nightfall, and the bear forest came out of a mountain forest, and saw a bright land in front of him.

I saw the lights in front of me, along the mountain, gathering a brightly lit city, entrenched on the mountainside.

Nine Pear City, the city of monks, is a real city that never sleeps!

Since Xiong Lin was reincarnated in this world, it was the first time he had seen such a city that never sleeps. Jiuli City is built along the mountain, you can see that at the highest point, there is a high lighthouse, and I don't know what kind of gem is on the tower, the light is blooming, and the glory is shrouded in the whole mountain city.

"This is the real city of monks...... Xiong Lin sighed.

Jiuli City has no city walls, and is shrouded in a large array. The large array is divided into two layers, the outer layer is connected to the surrounding maze array, and the inner layer is a forbidden shroud. Outside the inner prohibition, the Nine Pear Sect has set up several reception places, and monks who come to Nine Pear City for the first time need to register in them and pay the spirit stone to receive a token to enter and exit Nine Pear City.

Without a token, you can't enter the inner layer of the protective prohibition, and if you break in, you will incur the attack of the prohibition.

The forbidden city protection of Jiuli City is said to have been arranged by the Yuanying Ancestor, and even if the Yuanying Monk forcibly breaks in, it will take a lot of means. And if a monk below the Yuan Infant breaks through and incurs a forbidden attack, if there is no powerful means to save his life, he will definitely die.

Xiong Lin came to a reception area and found that it was just a simple stone house, in which sat an elderly man who was meditating and practicing. Xiong Lin thought about it and waited outside the stone house.

About half an hour, the old man opened his eyes and looked at the bear forest outside the stone house. Said with a smile:

"Little friend, please come ......"

As he spoke, the old man waved his right hand, and Xiong Lin clearly felt some fluctuations flashing in the stone house.

"Thank you, seniors......" Xiong Lin thanked him and entered the stone house.

"Hmm......" The old man nodded, looked at Xiong Lin and said, "You are the first time to come to Nine Pear City?"

"Seniors are discerning. Xiong Lin returned, "I heard that to enter Jiuli City, you need to come here to register, pay the spirit stone, and receive a token to enter the city!"

"Yes, but there are several kinds of tokens, there are three-month, half-year, one-year, and settled......" the old man introduced, "what do you want?"

"I wonder what the difference?" asked Xiong Lin.

"Different tokens are valid for different periods of time, and the settled type is valid for life...... One hundred spirit stones should be paid for the three-month period, three hundred for the half-year period, five hundred for the one-year period, and one thousand for the settlement type...... However, different tokens can enjoy different discounts when consumed in some Jiuli Pie shops in the city......," the old man explained simply.

Xiong Lin thought about it, and then he estimated that he would live in this Nine Pear City for a long time, so he handed over a thousand spirit stones and said:

"The younger generation wants to settle down. ”

Xiong Lin had already counted the number of spirit stones in the storage bag, there were 300,000 spirit stones, and a thousand spirit stones could still be easily taken out.

"Hmm......" The old man nodded, took out a purple jade from the storage bag and handed it to Xiong Lin, and said, "Record your name in it and leave a breath." ”

Xiong Lin took it, put it on his eyebrows, wrote his name with spiritual sense, left a wisp of breath, and then handed it back to the old man.

The old man looked at it, and casually punched a magic seal into the purple jade. I saw a flash of purple light, and Xiong Lin's name appeared on one side of the purple jade, and on the other side was a Yuhua pear tree, which was the symbol of the Nine Pear Sect.

"When entering and exiting the ban, wear this token on your body, and don't put it in your storage bag......" The old man handed the purple jade to Xiong Lin and instructed, "It doesn't matter in the city." ”

"Thank you, senior......" Xiong Lin took it and bowed in thanks.

"Well...... old man had already closed his eyes and said, "Fighting is forbidden in the city, if you have a grudge, you can go to the arena to settle it, or if you leave Jiuli City, no one ......cares about it."

"Seeing that you are still polite, you didn't break in directly before, and you were also protected from the attack of the formation. The old man said, and suddenly threw out a drawing, "This is the map of Jiuli City, take it and take a good look......

"Thank you, senior......" Xiong Lin hurriedly took it and thanked him again. Seeing that the old man had meditated cross-legged again, he bowed and walked out of the stone house.

Not in a hurry to enter the city, Xiong Lin first unfolded the map of Jiuli City and looked at it.

Jiuli City is a ring city, along the mountain, one ring after another extends to the mountain, and the whole can be roughly divided into three rings. The bottom ring is the one with the largest flow of monks, and there are several markets formed spontaneously by scattered cultivators, which are quite chaotic. In the middle of the road, there is a commercial area, where most of the shops are concentrated. The top link is occupied by several immortal cultivation families in Jiuli City.

Xiong Lin held the purple jade in his hand, passed through the prohibition, and entered the Nine Pear City. The oncoming aura couldn't help but shock him. There is a spirit gathering formation in the forbidden city of Jiuli City, and the concentration of spiritual energy in the city is several times that of the outside, and the further you go up the mountain, the stronger the spiritual energy becomes. Xiong Lin became more and more determined to settle here.

After thinking about it, Xiong Lin put away the purple jade, ran the art of changing shapes, and turned into a short and strong man, and the aura around him changed into a simple and simple appearance. Head towards the few scattered cities recorded on the map.

There are several scattered workshop markets in the first ring area of Jiuli City, and the closest fang market to Xionglin is located in a valley. Xiong Lin walked into the valley and found that the market was quite lively at this time.

On the mountain walls around the valley, there are several luminous gemstones, with different faces, red sè, green sè, and yellow sè, which illuminate the valley with colorful sè, like a dream.

Fang City has obviously made a plan, although it is all scattered and set up its own stalls, but it is also divided into various districts. There are those who sell pills, there are those who sell magic weapons, there are those who sell talismans, and there are those who sell spiritual materials and elixirs...... And so on, each has its own partition, and it is clear at a glance.

There were hundreds of monks wandering around in various sections, and when they arrived in this city, Xiong Lin found out for the first time that there were so many immortal cultivators.

Xiong Lin blended in with the crowd, and was also wandering around in various districts and stalls. He wasn't here to buy anything, just to find out something. After all, he still had too little knowledge of the Immortal Cultivation Realm and lacked a lot of common sense. And walking around this market will undoubtedly teach him a lot of knowledge. As for some of the things he needed, Xiong Lin was not going to buy them in this market, but was going to buy them in the shops in the second ring area.

The shops in the second ring area undoubtedly have more abundant resources, and Xiong Lin is not short of spirit stones now, but lacks some necessary things. Such as the exercises of cultivating immortals, the means of attack and defense of monks, and so on. These are undoubtedly better options in those shops.

Xiong Lin watched from one stall to another, stopping from time to time to communicate with the monks who set up the stalls, and unconsciously learned a lot of useful knowledge.

For example, the most suitable elixir for a monk in the early stage of Qi cultivation to practice true qi is the Small Qi Gathering Pill, and a small Qi Gathering Pill generally requires two lower-grade spirit stones; for example, a low-grade magic weapon is worth at least one hundred spirit stones, and a defensive magic weapon is more expensive than an attack magic weapon; for example, a five-hundred-year-old ginseng is worth one spirit stone...... For example, there are nine levels of demon beasts, and the most valuable thing for low-level demon beasts is blood......

Xiong Lin kept wandering between the stalls, interacting with the stall monks from time to time, and most of the night passed in a blink of an eye. The market is still brightly lit, and the flow of people is endless, and there is no rest.

"What do you do...... Said it wouldn't be sold......" Suddenly a scream came from the front.

Xiong Lin raised his head and saw a stall a hundred meters in front of him. The stall was set up by a middle-aged woman, and there were a lot of pills on the stall, which seemed to be an alchemist.

At this time, in front of the stall, there was a strong man with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, holding a jade bottle and trying to snatch it from the woman.

"Lao Tzu also bought ......" The strong man scolded and scolded, his face was hideous, and he found that he was looking at him all around, and he shouted fiercely at the surroundings, "What do you look at......"

"Hehe, I don't know if I'm alive or dead...... Dare to make trouble in the Fang Market of the Luoying Club......" A stall owner on the side said with a sneer.

Xiong Lin asked curiously, "There is still a master in this city?"

"Hey, of course......" The stall owner looked at Xiong Lin and said with a smile, "It's the first time for Daoyou to come to Nine Pear City, right?"

"Yes, when I first arrived at the treasure land, I would like to ask Taoist friends for more advice...... Xiong Lin hurriedly saluted and said.
