Chapter 11 Fang City
Back home, Qiao Yu carefully thought about today's events, and couldn't help but think of Qiao Ba's words and deeds, and the latter's provocation made him feel a real threat. I also know that some clansmen once had no news because they offended Qiao Ba.
As the father of the elder of the clan, he is now insulted by a junior like Qiao Nan and Qiao Ba, and even his sister is used as a plaything by a thief. This pile, one by one, is like chicken blood, which fiercely stimulates Qiao Yu's motivated heart.
"Dad, I don't know how many spirit stones there are at home, I need higher-level exercises and spells. When Qiao Zheng and Qiao Yunqing were about to leave for Fang City, Qiao Yu hurriedly asked.
"Exercises and spells, we still have these, you don't have to spend money to buy them, you take some spirit stones, go to the Fang Market to buy some pills or something, you can use them as an aid to cultivation. Qiao Zheng didn't shirk when he heard this, he directly took out two gold boxes from the spirit storage bag and put them in front of the table.
"Also, you are also a monk now, so you need at least a basic spirit storage bag, take it. As he spoke, Qiao Zheng took out another blue bag and handed it to Qiao Yu.
"Thank you, Dad. Qiao Yu immediately reached out and took it, and put it between his palms, refining and recognizing the Lord with spiritual power.
This spirit storage bag is the lowest common type of magic weapon, and as the name suggests, it is a treasure bag used by monks to store items. Don't look at this bag, it's only the size of a palm, but inside it, there is a small space formation cleverly set up to hide it.
Generally speaking, the spirit storage bag also has the size of the space capacity, the larger the capacity, the more precious. However, because the level of the spirit storage bag is too low, the materials used are limited, and the common one has the largest space, which is only thirty square meters.
On top of this, there are the Spirit Storage Bracelet and the Spirit Storage Ring. These two storage magic weapons, the materials selected for refining, are much more precious, and the space is far more than the spirit storage bag. But again, the price is higher, and not everyone can afford it.
"If you encounter any trouble in Fang City, even if you come to Qiao's territory, your mother and I are mainly responsible for managing the market of natural treasures in the clan, you can find us by going to the shops and stalls to inquire. After Qiao Zheng explained this, he and Qiao Yunqing set off to Fang City.
Looking at the back of his parents leaving, a trace of warmth appeared in Qiao Yu's heart. Then, after putting the two gold boxes on the table into the spirit storage bag, he got up and walked towards the door.
This kind of gold box is specially used to hold spirit stones. Generally, the wooden box can hold ten pieces, the gold box can hold one hundred, and the jade box can hold one thousand pieces.
Lingshi, produced in the Spirit Mine Mountains, is a natural mineral, which contains various attributes of heaven and earth aura, and is the currency recognized by monks for trading. But its role is actually very wide, such as as as the eye of the formation, when refining the magic weapon elixir, adding spirit to the Ding furnace, or for the monks to replenish the aura, etc., it is the wealth pursued by immortal cultivators.
On the continent, wherever there is a spiritual mineral mountain range, no matter how big or small, there will be immortal forces to occupy it. For example, in the mountain range thirty miles outside of Yunxi City, there is a spiritual mine, otherwise, the Qiao family and another rival sect, the Qingyao Pavilion, would not have lived in this mortal city.
The types of spirit stones are roughly divided into three types: "lower grade, middle grade, and upper grade", and the higher the grade of the spirit stone, the more precious it is. In the conversion between currencies, one hundred pieces of lower grade is equal to one piece of medium grade, and one hundred pieces of medium grade is equal to one piece of upper grade.
According to legend, in addition to these three kinds of spirit stones, there is also a kind of superb spirit stone, its spiritual power is powerful, representing the origin of the aura of heaven and earth in the mortal world.
Of course, this is just a legend, and in the entire Star Rainbow Empire, no one has really seen the best spirit stone.
Two hundred spirit stones, it doesn't seem like a big number. But in fact, for some casual cultivators, and even ordinary disciples in the peak power of the empire, it can be described as a huge number.
For example, Qiao Zheng, his current monthly offering is only thirty spirit stones, and Qiao Yunqing only has twenty. Some young children in the clan, even if they run around for the clan all day long and work tirelessly to complete various tasks, they can only get ten spirit stones a month at most.
The same is true for the monk's family, let alone the dispersion.
There are many things at home, and life is already very difficult, but for the sake of Qiao Yu, Qiao Zheng still took out the family's savings without hesitation. All of this is constantly stimulating Qiao Yu's growth.
Knowing that two years later, there would be a triennial competition meeting for young children in the clan, and with what Qiao Ba had said, Qiao Yu decided to improve his strength as quickly as possible in these two years.
And in order to achieve this goal, it seems that there is no other way out except for diligent cultivation of exercises and spells. After all, the cultivation of the Qi Refining Period has great limitations.
Xianjiafang City is generally a trading place opened by immortal cultivators with a certain strength and financial resources. Generally, it provides a trading platform for all monks, such as merchants and casual monks, and makes a profit from it.
However, after all, the world is chaotic and people's hearts are treacherous. If there is no family with a certain strength, there will be no professional businessmen in the fang market opened to cooperate with it for a long time, after all, the risk is too great, and it may involve life.
Ten miles south of Yunxi City, there is a hidden Xianjiafang City. Same as the ordinary Fang Market, the entire Fang Market is surrounded by huge formations, and mortals with the naked eye cannot detect the existence of the formation, so they cannot see the Fang Market.
But for the monks, when they enter the Qi refining period and the Yuan Shen is initially awakened, they can open the eyes of heaven and see the existence of Fang City.
This Xianjiafang City was jointly opened by the Qiao family and the Qingyao Pavilion, although it was jointly opened, but it was basically each taking one side and taking its own benefits. However, in terms of the security interests of Fang City, the two opposing forces have a common intention.
After leaving Qiaojia City, Qiao Yu went directly out of Yunxi City, used his spiritual power all the way, and rushed towards Fang City.
During this time, he also met a lot of people from the Qiao family who came and went, as well as disciples of the Green Medicine Pavilion in cyan uniforms, and some casual cultivators with unfamiliar faces. However, these casual cultivators are not high, and usually when they encounter local forces, they will unconsciously retreat from three points.
After all, killing people and snatching treasures is not uncommon in the cultivation world.
Occasionally, Qiao Yu would also be surprised to find that above the sky, there were some Zhuji real people who stepped on flying magic weapons and flew freely in the air. Although there are not many of them, they can control the magic weapons to soar in the blue sky, but they can't help but yearn for it.
Ritual weapons are commonly used by monks. From low to high, the grades are divided into "gold, mysterious, treasure, and superb", and are divided into three levels: "low, medium, and high". Only when the cultivation reaches the foundation building period, the spiritual power can be initially used externally, and the magic weapon can be controlled.
With spiritual power, kill people invisibly a hundred steps away, swim in Cangyu, and go down the river. This is the world difference between a true person who builds a foundation and a small cultivation of qi refining. This is a real monk. And the magic weapons are usually visible, which are attack, defense, flight, and support.
Looking at other past immortal cultivators along the way, Qiao Yu's pursuit of power in his heart became more and more vigorous. The distance of ten miles, but only half a moment, has already been crossed.
Between the views, faintly visible, the deep blue light rises to the sky, and the huge house formed by the blue light stands quietly between the deep forests. In the meantime, occasional figures appear out of thin air, walking in and out, rare immortals, flying in the air, for mortals, full of mysterious and bizarre colors.
This brilliance is emanating from the formation, which includes the entire Xianjiafang City. Only immortal cultivators who open the eyes of heaven can perceive its existence.
Take a closer look, the huge formation, almost boundless, between this wide and deep forest, it looks extremely mysterious. Around the formation, at intervals, there will be an entrance and exit, which is clearly visible, and there are disciples of the Qiao family or the Qingyao Pavilion, guarding it.
Approaching Linfang City, Qiao Yu swept around, and then found an entrance guarded by the Qiao family and walked slowly. At this entrance, there are still several figures, who are queuing up to enter, sweeping and scanning, and almost all of their cultivation is in the early stage of Qi refining.
The members of the Qiao family who guard the entrance, or the children of the Qingyao Pavilion, are basically responsible for the security of entry and exit, as well as charging admission fees, one spirit stone per person, and no need to register. However, as a member of the Qiao family, this fee can be omitted.
After saying hello to the guards, Qiao Yu stepped into the entrance specially designed by the formation. As soon as he came into contact with the light curtain, Qiao Yu felt as if his body had touched a layer of silky curtains. As the pace progressed, a cool feeling surged throughout the body, and the aura of heaven and earth around him seemed to suddenly become abundant.
"A large number of low-grade elixirs, excellent auxiliary materials for cultivation, a must for hunting spirit beasts, the price is cheap, the time is limited, and the opportunity cannot be missed......"
"All kinds of practical low-grade low-level spells, the price is affordable, buy more and give more, those who buy more than ten sets will also get a special edition of double cultivation exercises, and practice with Taoist couples, not only to improve the cultivation faster, but also to get drunk immortals to death, and the numbness is infinite......"
"Fuck, there's this kind of good thing, I want ......"
After a brief blindness, a whole new world came into view. Directly ahead, on the clean dirt road, you can see countless monks coming and going, bustling and noisy, on both sides of the road, neatly arranged stalls, straight into the distance.
This is the first time Qiao Yu has seen immortal cultivators other than the Qiao family. According to the classics, on the mainland, there are many mortals, and there are very few monks.
On the stall, there are all kinds of heavenly and earthly treasures, magic weapons and pills, all kinds of treasures that Qiao Yu has only heard of, but has never seen, and they are displayed in front of him in such a series at this moment.
Towering trees on both sides, between their trunks, are surrounded by wooden stairs that lead to small huts in the branches. This thatched hut is the cheapest shop in the market, and most of them are used to sell some spirit beasts.
Stepping on the soft dirt road, Qiao Yu swept left and right, and behind the faint stalls, there was a large lush forest, and on the other side of the forest, there was another stall area. The whole market is so big, I don't know how many stall areas, all of which are directly connected to the entrances and exits.
Usually, the stalls are used for some casual repairs, temporary rentals, and simple transactions. Here, there were almost no precious treasures for sale, Qiao Yu just looked at it casually, and just followed this road and went deeper.
