Zhuang Wudao was also aroused by curiosity, and couldn't help asking, "What did Shizun say at the beginning?"
It is said that when the first heaven and earth first opened, all kinds of beasts in the world were rampant, all of them had the power to move mountains and seas, and the vast supernatural power of the heavens, eating meat and drinking blood, and the weak eating the strong. At that time, only our human race was the weakest, and under the pressure of life and death, we tried to change. Fight with the sky, fight with demons. Talent is able to overwhelm the beasts, stand out, and become the primate of all things today. He has been the master of this heaven and earth since he has been reproduced. ”
Sikong Hong's speed of speech was extremely slow, but every word was extremely firm: "So I left the Dust Sect and believed in the way of 'natural selection, survival of the fittest'. The disciples of the two mountains and seven peaks all need to get out of the fighting. That's why I left the Dust Sect, and I had a mountain test every three years. The demon beasts in the Tiannan Forest Sea will always give them some respite. It is good that there is peace within the sect, but if there is no pressure inside, I am afraid that it will be difficult for me to stand in the world even if I leave the Dust Sect. ”
He added: "Moreover, once the sect grows, conflicts of interest, contradictions and hatreds between each person will inevitably be inevitable no matter what. It is better to set the rules as early as possible and control the battles and conflicts within a certain range. Between the two mountains and the seven peaks of the dust, although there have been constant battles and conflicts for thousands of years, every time I encounter a foreign enemy, I can usually work together. The disciples have been stronger than the next generation over the years. ”
Zhuang Wudao nodded thoughtfully, he had a look of admiration on his face, but there were still some doubts in his heart, and he was a little disapproving. However, there is no need to question Sikong Hong and the real people of the festival.
Except for the great change on the Sky Island a thousand years ago, which made the Dust Sect a little silent. It is also a fact that the strength of the Dust Sect is stronger than a year.
Sikong Hong also resumed his cynical smile at this time: "There is a market 1,200 miles away here. It is under the sect of Xuanling Mountain, and the disciples of Xuanling Mountain within 2,000 miles around are all buying pills and trading spiritual weapons here. The rice, oil, and salt you want to use also need to be purchased here. It is said that I will accompany you on a trip, and then go to Lichen Mountain to choose exercises. It's just that I have only returned to this mountain, and there are countless entertainments, so how about letting Xuanji accompany you there? Xuanji lives near here, only separated by a mountain, and can take care of you nearby. He is honest and not afraid of trouble, and can be your guide in the door. If you have any problems with something, ask him for advice. ”
Only then did Zhuang Wudao understand why Xuanjizi was waiting here. It turned out to be Sikong Hong, who was already ready to throw his burden to Xuanjizi to be responsible.
Sikong Hong didn't wait for the two to agree, so he patted Xuan Jizi on the shoulder: "It's all handed over to you! If there is any mistake, I am afraid that I will not be able to escape heavy responsibility. ”
As soon as the words fell, Sikong Hong had already let out a sigh and left from Yukong. Only the wry smile was left, and Zhuang Wudao looked at each other. Speechless.
※※※※
The said bazaar is indeed 1,200 miles away, and it is called 'Hongshan Market'. However, without Sikong Hong's method of retreating from the sky, Zhuang Wudao could only walk. Xuanjizi can also fly in the sky, but his cultivation is not enough, he can't bring people, and his speed is far inferior to that of Jindan cultivators.
And although there are no truly powerful beasts in the mountains, they are also troublesome of all kinds. It took the three of them half a day to reach the market.
Built in a mountain pass, it is about the same size as a larger market town in the Eastern Wu Kingdom. However, the people who came and went in the town were all cultivators.
Most of them are the blue and purple robes of the Lichen Sect, but there are also cultivators with other clothes and decorations who come and go here.
However, without waiting for Zhuang Wudao to ask curiously, Xuan Jizi had already taken the initiative to solve his doubts: "The general center of the Heavenly God Thunder Fire Banner Gate Array of my Southern Ming Capital is on the top of the Seven Peaks of the Two Mountains. The formation is not broken, and no one can get close. Therefore, in this group of mountains, in fact, it is forbidden for monks of other sects to enter and leave with loose cultivators. The disciples of Lichen hunt countless demon beasts in the Tiannan Forest Sea every year, as well as various medicinal herb materials that come to collect. Except for a part of the quota that needs to be given to the sect in exchange for good deeds, the rest can be handled by themselves. These people are here for this, collecting all kinds of spiritual treasures, and the prices they give are often much more generous than those of the Lichen Sect. ”
He also pointed to the shops on both sides of the street: "But the merchants who can set up shops here must be under the door of the dust." Many wealthy families in the southeast will try their best to send their disciples to the dusty sect. Then I didn't go to practice, I just ran a business for my family here. Billions of dollars can be earned every year. Senior brother, if you want to buy and sell something here, it is best to choose Qianqi Pavilion and Yi Lingju, the buying and selling prices are often the most kind, and they are not deceitful. And if you want to create a spiritual weapon, it is Xue Xinzhai's refiner who has the best skills, and in the past ten years, no less than ten magic weapons above the thirty-seven legal prohibitions alone have been refined. As for the elixir, most of our Xuanling Mountain are good at alchemy, so there is no need to ask for it. ”
Zhuang Wudao thought to himself that the Xia family of the hundred soldiers was probably also preparing to take this road. Within the Xia clan, there were originally children who operated in other sects.
However, the largest spiritual weapon business in the southeast is undoubtedly in the Lichen Sect, in the Tiannan Linhai.
However, the Xia family tried their best to send Xia Miao to the Jindan Realm to seek the position of true disciple, and their ambition seemed to be more than that.
He didn't care about the affairs of the Xia family, but it was the snow heart that made him care a little.
According to Yun'er, the spiritual weapon used by the monk can be used as a magic weapon if the law is forbidden to the thirty-seventh level. And when it reaches the seventy-third level, it is the spiritual treasure, and the highest can be sacrificed to one hundred and eight levels.
After that, it is no longer a legal ban, but an immortal ban. Any artifact, as long as an immortal forbidden exists, it is the flow of immortal weapons. Even the lowest-level immortal weapon has the ability to suppress the spirit treasure.
However, the monks in this realm can only reach the Yuan Shen Realm at the highest. The flow of magic weapons, if they can reach the sixty-fold law prohibition, it is estimated that it is already the peak.
A cultivator who can refine magic weapons should not be neglected in any case. And listening to the meaning of the mystery, there is more than one such refiner in Xuexinzhai.
The streets are full of treasures, and in addition to the shops, there are also many monks who set up stalls on the streets.
Zhuang Wudao was dazzled, and there were really a few things that made him excited. However, he was too shy to make a move. For the first time, I began to regret that I was too profligate when I was in Soochow.
The prices here are at least half times cheaper than those in Wujing.
Led by Xuanji all the way, Zhuang Wudao began to purchase everything. Only then did I discover that in the cultivation world, even if it is ordinary rice, oil and salt, it is not so simple.
"Rice needs to be on the first order of haode 'clear rice' or 'cloud rice' and 'snow wheat', after taking it, it can clear and refine the turbidity in the human body, nourish the soul, and cultivate the innate qi, which is an indispensable thing for monks. These two things need a spiritual field to produce. One acre of first-order spiritual field can produce about four to six stones per year. And I am far from the dust mountain, the first-order spiritual field is only 730,000 mu, of which seventy percent will be used to cultivate elixir. 350,000 disciples are not enough at all, and they need to be purchased from outside. The second-order spiritual fields are even less, only 20,000 acres. ”
Xuanji looked at Zhuang Wudao with a smile: "Actually, junior brother, your Half Moon Tower, you can be self-sufficient." Outside your half-moon building, there are thirty acres of second-order spiritual fields alone, and one hundred and fifty first-order spiritual fields. Even the third-order spiritual field is close to seven acres. It's just that no one has been cooking for the past ten years, and some of them are deserted. After the junior brother sorted it out, even if he raised three more spirit servants, it was still more than enough, and the excess production could also be sold. If you are willing to be ruthless and cut down some trees, then it will not be difficult to open up another thirty or fifty acres of spiritual land. ”
Only then did Zhuang Wudao know that the Half Moon Tower was not only a good place to practice, but also a source of wealth, and a year's output was not inferior to a top family in Yuecheng.
As for the latter sentence of the mystery, it's okay to listen to it, but you can't take it seriously.
The more than ten generations of sect masters of the Dust Sect are quite far-sighted, and they do not exhaust themselves to catch fish. Just from the fact that most of the veins in this dusty mountain have been sealed, we can know one or two.
If this huge Nanping Mountain Range really wants to be developed, the number of Lingtian is by no means more than 730,000. It's just that the Lichen Sect intends to suppress it and not ask for it excessively.
"With this clear rice and snow wheat, you must use haode to make a fire. Generally, it is made of rosewood, which does not produce turbid smoke, contains spiritual elements, and is cheap and affordable. However, it is not without purple core coal essence, pine wood, Yunyuan stone and the like. Life cooks, don't look at small things, and don't ignore them. Someone has tried, with the same spiritual root talent, a monk who consumes clear rice and snow wheat every day has at least more than fifty percent of the cultivation speed of a person who eats fireworks in the mortal world. ”
Xuanji is really like Sikong Hong's words, with a pure temperament, and he is tireless in his questions about Zhuang Wudao.
As for the oil and salt, it is also exquisite. Salt is red salt that must be refined, and there are many varieties of spices and spices, all of which are spiritual creatures that have entered the ranks. As for oil, in our southeast, most of the snow whale sesame oil is used to collect snow whales from the depths of the sea. Born a second-order spirit beast, his body is as huge as a mountain. However, they are all stupid and disease-free, and even when they become adults, they are completely unintelligent. ”
Zhuang Wudao was stunned for a while, he never knew that this only one word 'eat' was so particular about a real monk. For the first time, I felt that the cooking skills I had when I was a teenager were far from enough.
There is also rosewood, which is most admired in Soochow is sandalwood furniture, especially rosewood is the most valuable, but can it only be used to make fire?
He didn't have much belongings left, and according to the mysterious instructions, after some purchases, the river was already dry. also borrowed a lot of money from Xuanji.
"Actually, most of my disciples only occasionally eat one or two meals of clear rice, and some of them haven't touched it for a year. Taking it every day, only those disciples of the family can afford it. When I first joined the Lichen Sect, I didn't have such a big deal as my junior brother, and I bought two people for half a year at a time. ”
