Emperor City, which is a Xiuzhen city located in the south of Qizhou near the southeast, and is built in the middle of a large number of sect families and other forces. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Because the area near the Emperor City is rich in spiritual energy, although there are no top-grade spiritual veins, and there are no large-scale high-grade spiritual veins, but there are many small- and medium-sized high-grade spiritual veins, and there are even more medium-to-low-grade spiritual veins.

The spiritual veins are piled together, which naturally causes a large number of sects and families to exist.

After all, for a sect, its foundation is a high-quality spiritual vein, and only with the disciples of the spiritual vein sect can they cultivate.

However, judging from what Fang Zhe learned from the classics, there were many various cultivation forces in this area, and various disputes were also very frequent.

For example, the sects are dense, but the number of mortal populations in the surrounding mortal realms is limited, so if so many sects want to continuously recruit enough disciples to ensure the continuity of the sect, they need to constantly replenish new disciples.

And where did the new disciples come from? Naturally, they came from among the mortals.

This kind of problem is not a problem for the sects in other places, because other places are often more scattered sects, and any small sect that does not enter the stream can recruit enough disciples with spiritual roots from the nearby wide and populous mortal world, for most sects, the population base of mortals is not a problem, and the biggest trouble for them to recruit disciples is that they do not have enough manpower to check the spiritual roots of those mortal children one by one.

After all, those mortal children need to check one by one to know whether they have a spiritual root, and although the matter of investigating the spiritual root can be seen at a glance for high-level monks, and low-level monks can also use special spiritual weapons to investigate, but in any case, it requires human costs.

Moreover, the proportion of mortal children who have a spiritual root is very low, and it often happens that tens of thousands of people cannot find a young child who is in a spiritual root.

Therefore, in fact, it is impossible for most sects to check the school-age children in the mortal world within their sphere of influence one by one, in fact, the number of young children who have the opportunity to take the spiritual root test is very small, and most of the mortal children who live in the spiritual root may not have heard of cultivation in their lives, and then spend their lives ordinarily and ordinary, and for countless years, they don't know how many geniuses they have missed Heavenly Spirit Roots, Mutated Spirit Roots, and Special Spirit Bodies.

However, in the vicinity of the Covered Emperor City, because of the emergence of a large number of sects, it is rare that the population base of mortals is not enough, forcing most of those sects to use some competitive means in order to replenish the number of new disciples, and secretly go to the sphere of influence of other sects to check the spiritual roots of mortal children, and then bring the young children who are in the spiritual roots to their own sects.

For example, all kinds of resources, the cultivation of monks is not just a spiritual vein, although the spiritual vein is very important, it is still the basic requirement for the survival of a sect, but in fact, the existence of the spiritual vein can only ensure the most basic cultivation of the disciples in the sect.

If you want to cultivate faster, if you want to break through the bottleneck, you often need a large number of spirit stones and various pills, even the magic weapons and spirit weapons used in daily life are also needed.

The various sects near the Imperial City naturally inevitably had some competition in these aspects.

So when Fang Zhe arrived at the Covered Emperor City, what he saw was a lively and prosperous atmosphere, but behind the prosperity was an atmosphere of tension, and even outside the city, he saw several fights between monks, all of which showed that the environment of the Covered Emperor City was relatively chaotic, not as peaceful and stable as ordinary Fang City and Xiuzhen City.

As an outsider, Fang Zhe's understanding of the Covered Emperor City was only through the classics, and he didn't have any interest in the battles between the sects around the Covered Emperor City, so he naturally didn't bother to deal with these things.

After arriving in the Covered Emperor City, Fang Zhe first found an inn to live in according to the old rules, and then frequently went in and out of various shops in the city, trying to find the situation of high-grade Ice Heart Jade.

But a few days later, he realized that things were not as he expected.

"If you want to talk about Ice Heart Jade, we also have it in our shop, but there are only ordinary low-grade Ice Heart Jade!" Standing in front of Fang Zhe at this time was a shopkeeper in the early stage of foundation building, and at this time, he only heard him answer: "But this high-grade Ice Heart Jade, we don't have it here, let alone a high-grade Ice Heart Jade, even a mid-level Ice Heart Jade!"

"Not to mention us here, even if you ask all the shops in the entire Emperor Covering City, it is impossible to buy a high-grade Ice Heart Jade!"

As he spoke, the old man in the early stage of foundation building looked at Fang Zhe, and then said, "I think this fellow Daoist should have just arrived in our Imperial City!"

Fang Zhe nodded!

Then the shopkeeper said in a tone as if everything was expected by him: "And Daoist friends should have read the records in the classics, saying that we produced Ice Heart Jade in the Imperial City, and the high-grade Ice Heart Jade among them has the effect of assisting in the formation of Dan, so I came here specially, right?"

When Fang Zhe heard this, the shopkeeper was like a roundworm in his heart, and he actually guessed all his thoughts: "The shopkeeper has good eyesight!"

Looking at Fang Zhe's expression, the shopkeeper laughed and said, "It's not that I have good eyesight, but every year, there are always a lot of Daoists in the foundation building period who come to our Imperial City to look for high-grade Ice Heart Jade!"

The shopkeeper said, as if he was still afraid that Fang Zhe would not believe it, and immediately continued: "All the Daoists who come to our Imperial City and cultivate to the Great Perfection in the foundation building period are basically here to find high-grade Ice Heart Jade, but most of them have to be disappointed!"

Fang Zhe also sighed a little when he heard this, it seemed that he was still too optimistic as he expected.

If you can find out that there is a high-grade Ice Heart Jade in the Covered Emperor City in the public classics, others will naturally find out, and how many monks in the world want to get married, and how much is the demand for high-grade Ice Heart Jade?

However, at this time, he also found that there was another information in the shopkeeper's words, that is, the people who came here to find the high-grade Ice Heart Jade basically had to return disappointed, not that all of them were disappointed.

Immediately, he said: "Even if the output of high-grade Ice Heart Jade is small, there is still a production, right, I don't know where I can get it?"

In order to find out the news from this shopkeeper, Fang Zhe was not stingy, and directly found a few medium-grade spirit stones.

The shopkeeper quietly took away these spirit stones, and then looked at Fang Zhe's expression was already a lot more enthusiastic, although these medium-grade spirit stones were nothing to the monks in the foundation building period, but no one disliked the spirit stones, just by saying a few more facts that most people in the Emperor City knew, he could obtain these middle-grade spirit stones, which made no difference to him at all if he picked up the spirit stones by walking.

After putting away the spirit stones, the shopkeeper in the early stage of foundation building just continued! )
