Xiao Ziyang went up to the second floor, there were not many guests, eight people sat at five tables, one table sat three people, one table sat two people, and the remaining three people sat alone.

Xiao Ziyang walked to a corner and sat down.

Among the three monks sitting together, the middle-aged Taoist monk was the tallest. At this time, the three of them were whispering eagerly.

Xiao Ziyang wanted to learn something about Kowloon City and the Immortal Cultivation Realm from the words of the three of them, but he was new to the city, and he didn't want to have a grudge because he overheard other people's conversations.

Xiao Ziyang's choice of location is very clever. It seems that the distance between the three people is quite far, but due to the effect of the two walls converging,

With his hearing, even without using mana, he could hear the whispers of the three of them clearly.

Xiao Ziyang ordered a few dishes randomly, asked for a pot of wine, and sent Xiao Er away. Pretending to be casual and paying attention to the conversation of the three men.

......

"Senior brother, this time our brother is really lucky, just two days after entering the mountain, he caught this eyeless mouse. Senior brother, do you say that we should sell this eyeless rat, or do we keep it ourselves? I have always heard people say that this eyeless rat is a good hand at searching for elixir, I wonder if it is true?" The middle-aged Taoist priest was a short and fat young monk on the left, and he looked a little excited.

The middle-aged Taoist priest had not yet spoken, sitting opposite the short and fat monk, the young monk with a handsome face and a pair of very smart eyes, said: "Of course, I keep it for myself, I have heard, although this eyeless rat has no combat power, except for the earth escape technique that cannot escape a few feet away, it is useless, but this thing is best to eat all kinds of elixirs, and the nose is extremely sensitive." It is said that there is a loose cultivator who relied on an eyeless mouse, and the efficiency of collecting medicine has increased exponentially, and he has made a small fortune!"

The middle-aged Taoist priest shook his head when he heard this, and said, "It's good that the eyeless rat likes to eat elixirs, but not all elixirs it likes to eat, and the recipe of this demon beast is actually very narrow. If you want to find medicine with the noocular rat, you must find the right place for its recipe to get something out. ”

"I see, you know a lot, brother. The handsome monk filled the middle-aged Taoist priest with wine and asked, "According to the meaning of the senior brother, is he going to sell this eyeless rat?"

The middle-aged Taoist priest dried his wine glass, put down the chopsticks in his hand, and said: "No, I didn't mean that, although this eyeless rat has shortcomings, but if you can master its habits and understand the growth law of the medicinal herbs it likes to eat, this eyeless rat is also a good medicine hunter." So I feel like we should leave it to that place. I have a good friend who is a disciple of the Hundred Beasts Villa. I know a lot about spirit animals, and I learned them all from him. Tomorrow I will use the spirit rune to send him a message and ask him about the habits of the Eyeless Rat. ”

"It's still Senior Brother who has a way, when we earn more spirit stones in the future, I must go to Baiwenzhai and buy the book "The Initial Solution of the Formation". The Humpty Fat Monk said excitedly.

Brother Junxiu rolled his eyes, and said to the short and fat monk very helplessly: "I said Third Senior Brother, don't keep having such unrealistic ideas, okay? You haven't even figured out a thousand basic Dao texts, and you want to learn a formation that is a hundred times more complicated than the second-order Dao texts. You ......"

"Senior brother, you don't care about the third senior brother. Isn't he wasting spirit stones?" said the handsome monk again, turning back to the middle-aged monk.

"It is important to learn formations, but the most important thing is talent and understanding. It's not that there are no people with mediocre intelligence, but they can be proficient in formations. Since your third senior brother likes it, let him try to learn it, if he has the talent to learn the formation, it will be a great thing for my Tiansong Concept. If he doesn't have this talent, it just so happens that there is a lack of formation classics in the Guanzhong Scripture Pavilion, so he can dedicate the book to the master at that time. ”

At this moment, the dishes ordered by Xiao Ziyang were served. When he sent Xiao Er away, the three of them had already gotten up to settle the bill. After the three of them left, the restaurant fell silent.

Xiao Ziyang was absentmindedly eating the dishes while thinking about the words of the three of them.

Although he had only been in Kowloon City for a day, he also had a general understanding of the immortal cultivation world. The world of cultivating immortals is not a paradise, there is a stricter hierarchy here than the human world, a more cruel competition than the human world, and a more hostile living environment.

Practicing qi, building a foundation, Jindan, and Yuanying, each higher level is life and death.

Although there are bullies in the human world, corrupt officials and disregard people's lives, but after all, there is an official government and a king's law, and there is always order. This immortal cultivation world is like a chaotic era without a unified regime. Each sect either occupies the mountain as the king, or occupies the territory as the leader. There is no law, no order, only naked violence. The situation of the casual cultivators is even more chaotic, and the incidents of bullying and murder and extortion of goods occur almost every day. No one cares about the life and death of the monks.

The so-called casual cultivation refers to those monks who do not have a sect and practice alone, or in groups of several people, and these monks generally have extremely poor spiritual roots, and even those small sects are not looked down upon.

They may be like Xiao Ziyang, who got the secret book of cultivating immortals by chance, cultivated indiscriminately and entered the realm of cultivating immortals. But such people are in the minority.

There are also some loose cultivators, because they have spiritual roots, and they are accepted by the martial arts sect, and after practicing martial arts, due to the improvement of their status, they know that they have spiritual roots, and they yearn for the world of cultivating immortals. Do everything possible to find a Taoist book, and when you step into the world of cultivating immortals, there are not many such people.

The vast majority of casual cultivators can enter the realm of cultivating immortals, but they are accepted as disciples by casual cultivators and brought into the realm of cultivating immortals.

Some cultivators with higher levels of loose cultivation will recruit a wide range of disciples and establish a sect, and such a sect is generally called a loose sect.

The scattered cultivation sects are not recognized by the major sects, and they can only accept some people who have been selected by the rooted sects and have extremely poor spiritual roots to cultivate.

It is basically impossible for a loose sect to become a formal sect. Because in order to become an official sect, there must be two conditions, first, there must be a Jindan monk in the sect. In the Scattered Cultivation Sect, due to the extremely poor spiritual roots of the disciples and the lack of resources, there is no Jindan monk at all.

Second, the sect must have a place of foundation, and the so-called land of foundation refers to a territory that belongs to the sect and is inhabited by mortals. In this area, all the city gods and the spiritual roots found by the Heavenly Eye in the Land Temple can only be accepted as disciples by this sect.

It is said that since 10,000 years ago, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth has changed dramatically, and the number of people with spiritual roots among mortals has become scarcer and rarer, and it has become more and more difficult for various sects to recruit disciples. The so-called poor is thinking about change, and some people invented treasures such as the Inheritance Treasure, which only need to be used by mortals who have cultivated internal strength, and with the Inheritance Treasure, various sects will cooperate with the mortal regime to place the Inheritance Treasure in the City God Temple and the Land Temple. And widely publicized the theory of the upper yin.
