Chapter 169 One of the Immortal Ascension Conference, Purple Mist City
"Of course I understand. Everyone in Shenxiao Sect knows who doesn't know." Cha Xiang glanced at Yan Zixiu curiously, thinking, isn't he a local?
He went on to introduce: "Shenxiao Sect is one of the largest sects in the world of cultivating immortals. There are three monks in the god-transformation stage, and their influence covers an area of tens of millions of miles."
Three? Didn’t Elder Xiangyun say there were two? It seems that they are far away and the information is inaccurate: "Is it difficult to join the Shenxiao Sect?"
"Young Daoist Yan want to join the Shenxiao Sect?"
"I understand, I understand. You also know that it is not easy to practice casual cultivation."
"Yes. When my business was good, I only earned dozens of spiritual stones every month. And I also had two younger brothers who had just reached the first level of Qi training to take care of. You see, I was just looking at it with emotion. Shenxiao
It’s not easy to join the door, but there is an opportunity right now.”
"Oh? Please tell me, fellow Taoist Chaxiang."
"The Shenxiao Sect holds an Immortal Ascension Conference every two years in major immortal cultivation cities. In ten days, there will be one in Ziwu City. There is a chance, but it is very difficult."
Yan Zixiu felt that he was in luck: "Why is it so difficult?"
"The conditions are harsh. Every monk who applies needs to provide rare spiritual flowers and spiritual grass, or valuable materials for refining weapons, or demon elixirs from demonic beasts. These require taking risks in dangerous places to try their luck. Many people are not
When the body dies and the spirit disappears, it means being seriously injured and falling into the realm."
Except for the demon elixir, Yan Zixiu had everything he needed, so there was no need to take risks. But he felt sad for these monks.
Cha Xiang continued: "If you have outstanding talent in a certain aspect of elixirs, talismans, weapons, formations, or Tianlinggen, you will also be hired. If nothing works, go to the ring to compete with your strength and fight your way out.
Bloody Road. Anyway, I feel like I’m not good at anything, so I have no choice but to be a hyacinth here."
"It seems that every aspect of the design of this Immortal Ascension Conference is to increase the strength of Shenxiao Sect." Yan Zixiu sighed.
Since we only care about strength, who cares about morality? Executing profits from top to bottom can only form a distorted order of vicious competition by any means.
"Who says it isn't?"
Yan Zixiu thought for a moment and decided that he had no choice but to go to the ring to fight with force. On the one hand, he was not good at fighting and did not want to fight; on the other hand, he could not show off the treasure of the Immortal Mansion.
Secondly, there is no hope based on the advantage of spiritual roots. His five spiritual root qualifications are probably still disliked by everyone.
The possible ways are, first, to take out some rare materials from the Immortal Mansion, and second, to choose one of the alchemy weapon arrays within ten days to develop outstanding abilities.
Yes, alchemy! This way is feasible, and it is of interest to me.
"Fellow Taoist Cha Xiang, I am a little interested in alchemy. I wonder how everyone usually does it?"
"Alchemy?" Cha Xiang looked at Yan Zixiu, "With all due respect, alchemy is not a path that we ordinary monks can take."
"Why?"
"It costs money! In the process of practice, you need to consume a lot of spiritual flowers, spiritual grass and other items. The alchemy furnace is not cheap. Although the books on alchemy are not expensive, learning the technique requires apprenticeship, which is a huge expense. Besides, ten
What can God learn?"
Yan Zixiu smiled slightly, none of this was a problem for him. The alchemy furnace with spirit flowers and herbs, as well as the knowledge and technology of alchemy, are all available in the Immortal Mansion.
What he needs is to rush to Ziwu City as soon as possible to register, and then become familiar with alchemy within ten days.
For reference, he is now going to buy similar items in the world of immortality.
"Fellow Taoist Cha Xiang, I am very interested in alchemy. Even if it is too late this time, I can still lay the foundation for next time. Please take me to buy some necessary items later."
"Okay." Cha Xiang stopped trying to dissuade him. After all, he would get some commission if he went to some familiar stores to buy things.
This snack is indeed delicious, and Yan Zixiu took some away after the meal.
They came to a store selling elixirs and inquired about the price. A mid-grade alchemy furnace, dozens of spiritual flowers and herbs for beginners, and a book "Introduction to Alchemy" would cost more than 850 spiritual stones.
In his storage bag, there were more than 300 spiritual stones given to him by Xiangyun, as well as the spiritual stones "contributed" by the monks who robbed him, totaling several thousand pieces in total.
Now that he was in a position where he couldn't spend a lot of money, he could only pretend to haggle over the price, and finally took out 800 spiritual stones "very painfully": "Boss, I can only offer so much."
"Okay, okay. The first time we met, I made a connection at a loss." The boss was smiling all over his face, but his eyes couldn't hide his disdain for the poor guy.
Yan Zixiu doesn't care what utilitarian people think of him.
The minds of these people are like a distorting mirror, unable to reflect their true face. Only the opinions of those with a calm mind are worthy of attention and reference.
Cha Xiang was a little surprised to see that he really took out eight hundred spiritual stones.
Seeing Cha Xiang's unexpected expression, Yan Zixiu felt that he was showing off his wealth, and reminded himself to pay more attention in the future.
The most important thing now is to break into the Shenxiao Gate without revealing anything and find the whereabouts of the medicine bowl. Other things must be chosen without affecting this important mission.
It was getting late, so he temporarily resisted the urge to go shopping at the mortal market, and asked Cha Xiang to introduce him to an above-average inn.
The hotel charges three spiritual stones per night.
"Fellow Taoist Cha Xiang, thank you for your hard work today." Yan Zixiu threw over two spiritual stones.
"No, this is what I should do. We agreed to charge one yuan." Cha Xiang threw another spiritual stone over.
"Okay." Yan Zixiu feels that this young man is not greedy. If there is a chance in the future, he can join the Medicine Master Sect if the other party is willing, giving him a bright future. "I will go to Purple Mist City tomorrow. We are destined to meet again.
.”
"I wish fellow Taoist Yan a safe journey." Cha Xiang led the deer cart away. He was reluctant to sit in his own cart.
After Yan Zixiu waited for him to leave, he hesitated for a while, and finally went out and bought thousands of bottles of camphor essential oil. Fortunately, this thing was not expensive, and a few spiritual stones were enough. It was not a big purchase.
…
Purple Mist City has a radius of four hundred miles, and the city wall made of purple rocks is forty feet high.
Standing under the city wall, people look very small. Looking up, if you look up at a person wearing a hat, the hat will fall off.
On the morning of the second day after re-entering the world of immortality, Yan Zixiu entered Ziwu City.
The entry fee this time is eight spiritual stones, and the validity period is still three months.
Instead of looking for hyacinth, he first went to a store and bought a jade slip map.
According to the markings on the map, the high-end inns in Purple Mist City charge one hundred spirit stones per day, and the low-end ones also charge ten yuan per day. In order to fit in with his status as an ordinary casual cultivator, he did not stay in an inn this time, but rented a house with a casual cultivator.
area.
In the Xingqing alley behind Yunjiang Street, he found a remote courtyard for rent.
The landlord said with a straight face that the three families would rent together and pay monthly fees. Each family would pay ten spiritual stones per month. No credit would be owed. No refund would be given if the rent was canceled early.
Exchange of interests and indifference. This was the initial feeling Ziwu City brought to Yan Zixiu.
The small courtyard faces north and faces south, and is divided into the east room, the west room and the north room. The north room has five rooms, and the east and west rooms have three rooms each. They all have simple protective formations, and the spiritual stones used to protect the formations are prepared by yourself.
According to the landlord, there are already two families living here. A single monk lives in the east room, and a brother and sister live in the north room. The west room is rented to Yan Zixiu. Those three people all go out to work hard to earn spiritual stones during the day.
