Chapter 97: Seeking Immortal Town
The two looked out of Liangzhou City for a while, and the Baiyun asked, "Do you plan to stay in the city for a while, or go directly to Mixian Town?"
"Of course I'm going to Mixian Town." Li Muran replied with a smile. The mortal city is far from the world of cultivation, and Li Muran has never been a person who likes noisy and lively.
"The old Taoist is about to go, so why not walk with you together!" said the man Baiyun, with a very enthusiastic expression.
"It's so good, I'll help you to lead the way." Li Muran simply agreed.
The man from Baiyun took out the paper boat and said, "I wonder if Fellow Daoist Li's injury has recovered a little. Can he control the flying magic weapon? If it doesn't work, the flying boat that is getting off can barely carry two people. If Fellow Daoist Li doesn't dislike it, I can walk in the same boat."
Li Muran smiled and said, "Thank you for your kindness, I can barely manipulate it."
As he said that, he took out a paper crane of talisman from the storage bag and sacrificed it in front of him.
"Tactic Paper Crane?" Baiyun said in a daze: "It is not very common for fellow Taoists to have such flying talismans. It is said that this kind of flying talisman was widely used hundreds of years ago, but the flying boat talismans are faster and have better defense, so they gradually replaced the talisman paper crane."
"So that's it." Li Muran smiled and said, "It seems that the methods of cultivating the immortal world here are even more sophisticated, and I really want to open my eyes!"
As he said that, Li Muran jumped onto the talisman paper crane and used his magic power to control it to fly.
The two of them flew to a high altitude on paper cranes, bypassed Liangzhou City, and flew directly outside a valley on the edge of the Tianshan Mountains.
There is a thick fog in the valley that never dissipates all year round. The Baiyun people said that this thick fog can make mortals entering it lose their direction and make it difficult to get out; so it can prevent mortals from entering here.
The two of them flew directly through the thick fog on paper crane boats. After passing the valley, they saw a path that winded into the mountains.
The two walked along the path, and soon after, they saw a building from afar. Some were dense and some were sparse, but they occupied several peaks and had a wide range.
"This is Mixian Town!" said the Baiyun Master: "The place where the buildings are dense in the flat valley is where the market is located. Most of the pavilions on the surrounding mountains are rented for temporary caves for various immortal cultivators."
"These caves are equipped with special protective formations and shielding restrictions, which are very safe. Moreover, the world is full of energy in Tianshan, so even if you meditate here, it is a good choice."
"However, there are countless immortal cultivators who come here every year, so the business of the temporary cave is very good, and the price is naturally not cheap. It would be fine if Fellow Daoist Li planned to live in a short period of time. If he wanted to practice near Tianshan for a long time, it would be better to find a remote mountain, dig a cave, and set up the cave by himself. The magic arrays and other equipment needed to set up the cave are also available in the market."
Li Muran nodded and bowed, "Thank you for your advice from Master Baiyun. After experiencing downstream, there has not been a decision yet. Why not rent a temporary cave and talk about what happened in the future?"
Master Baiyun said, "Okay, there is a 'Xianke' in the market that specializes in lending various caves. The old Taoist will take fellow Daoist Li to take a look."
"I'm working hard!" Li Muran thanked him, followed Baiyun Shangren, and walked into the market.
There are many shops around, and because they cannot see the treasures inside, Li Muran cannot see any name. In addition to the larger number of shops and larger scale, it seems that there is no essential difference from Pingnangu Market in the Kuanglu Mountains.
Suddenly, Li Muran's expression changed. A middle-aged man walking towards the market was unfathomable. He was obviously not a disciple of the Qi and Mai stage, but a senior of the Shenyou stage!
The man from Baiyun immediately stopped, turned sideways, bowed slightly to the person, and did not dare to pass by him directly.
Li Muran also followed the actions of the Baiyun master and bowed slightly. The monk from the Divine Travel Period seemed to ignore it and walked past the two of them.
After the senior of Shenyou period passed, Li Muran and his two men continued to move forward. There were still many monks in the Qi and Medication stage in the market. When they saw the senior of Shenyou period, they stopped to show their respects and gave them all their courtesy.
After a while, the two saw a monk from the Divine Travel Period and stopped to salute again to show their respect.
"Do you often see seniors from Shenyoushi in this market?" Li Muran asked curiously.
"Of course!" Baiyun replied: "The Mixian Town is very famous. Even the Shenyou period seniors and Qimai period fellow Taoists from the Tianshan Sect often come here to purchase some treasures. In addition to the nearby casual cultivators and declining small and medium-sized sect monks, the Shenyou period seniors can often be seen in the market."
"It is said that there was once a master from the Dharma Status Period who also came to the market, causing a sensation. Unfortunately, the old Taoist never saw the master with his own eyes!"
Speaking of this, the Baiyun people showed a hint of regret: "Although we practitioners cannot go too far, it will be a waste of our life if we can see a master in our lifetime!"
"A master of Dharma-elementary Affairs!" Li Muran was also quite fascinated: "I wonder what such a master looks like? Is he three heads and six arms, or has an extra pair of eyes?"
Just as he entered the divine world, four or five young men in white robes walked out of a magic weapon shop, each of whom was fifteen or sixteen years old, much younger than Li Muran.
Several other people, probably shopkeepers and clerks, greeted them warmly and sent them away with respect, with a very respectful look on their faces.
Li Muran's eyes swept over these young men and was surprised. The worst cultivation of these people was in the middle stage of Qi and Meridians, and two of them were actually in the late stage of Qi and Meridians. At their age, Li Muran was just a ignorant young man who had just consecrated and had just entered the immortals.
"These are fellow Taoists from the Tianshan Sect. Although they are not old, they are either talented or have a strong background. Do not provoke them!" Baiyun reminded in a low voice. He couldn't help but feel a little envious and eager in his eyes when he looked at these people.
After these teenagers walked away, the Baiyun master sighed and said leisurely: "They are the real immortal cultivators, with a bright future, I don't know what level they can reach! In contrast, we are just a layman who knows some magic, live a few more years longer than mortals, and touches the immortal sect but can't get in!"
"It's a pity that the old Taoist was not surprised to get into the fate of immortality until middle age, and was able to consecrate and practice immortal methods. If he is old this year, he may be like this in this life. If the old Taoist was born in a family of immortal cultivation and consecrate and practice since childhood, he is afraid that his achievements may not be inferior to others!"
Speaking of this, the Baiyun people felt a lot and couldn't help but say a few more words.
"It makes fellow Taoist Li laugh," said Master Baiyun with a embarrassed smile, saying embarrassedly: "Fellow Daoist Li is different. Fellow Daoist has such cultivation at a young age, which is a bright future! However, fellow Taoist must not be deeply trapped in secular desires because of his youthful nature. Among the fame, power and wealth, there are also many talented young people who cannot extricate themselves from being able to calm down and missed the great opportunity for cultivation in vain. When he reached the age of the old Taoist, he regretted it!"
"Thank you for your advice!" Li Muran smiled slightly, and the other party's words were kind.
As they spoke, the two of them had already arrived in front of the "Xiankeju" store. The shopkeeper of the Xiankeju was a middle-aged man in his forties, and he was very smart at first glance. What surprised Li Muran was that this display cabinet actually had late-stage cultivation of Qi and meridians.
"Master Baiyun, I haven't seen you for a long time, so don't be fine!" The shopkeeper was obviously quite familiar with Master Baiyun. After seeing him, he immediately bowed. When he saw this strange face next to him, he immediately understood and bowed to Li Muran politely: "Welcome to this store to make our store shine brightly! Do you come to rent a cave, don't know what to call him?"
Without waiting for Li Muran to answer, Master Baiyun took the initiative to introduce: "This is fellow Daoist Li. He really plans to rent a cave. I wonder what recommendations are from Manager Hu? The price is cheaper, so the higher the quality, the better."
Manager Hu smiled and said, "It turns out to be Fellow Daoist Li! Since there is a person from Baiyun, this store will naturally be more discounted. I wonder if Fellow Daoist Li plans to rent a long-term or short-term? Long-term rental is at least three years and five years. The longer the lease, the cheaper the annual rent price; short-term rentals are calculated monthly and annually, and the price is also different. In addition, I don't know what specific requirements do Daoist Li has for the cave. The larger the cave, the more complete the supporting treasures, the higher the price."
Li Muran pondered for a moment and said, "After experiencing this downstream, I haven't decided where I will go in the future. Let's rent it for a few months first. As for the cave, it's just quiet and safe, and it doesn't need to be too luxurious."
Manager Hu said after hearing this: "It's better to rent it for one year, as the unit price is relatively affordable. Fellow Daoist Li is young and has the late stage of Qi and meridian cultivation, so he is completely possible to join the Tianshan Sect. For more than half a year, it will be the day when the Tianshan Sect Opportunity Valley is opened. I believe Fellow Daoist Li will not miss such an opportunity!"
"What? Late stage of Qi and Meridians? Fellow Daoist Li actually has the late stage of Qi and Meridians?" Master Baiyun was shocked. He was in the middle stage of Qi and Meridians, and he did not see Li Muran's breath very accurately. He always thought that he was also a mid-stage cultivator. However, although Li Muran was injured and his aura was slightly weak, it was easy to confuse, but Manager Hu, who was also in the late stage of Qi and Meridians, could carefully distinguish it.
Li Muran smiled slightly at the Baiyun master, as if he had agreed. After hearing what Manager Hu said, he asked curiously: "Just Opportunity Valley, what's going on? Can Manager Hu talk about it in detail?"
Manager Hu kept it a secret and said with a smile: "This matter is a long story. After living here for a while, I will naturally know it clearly. To be honest, most of the tenants in this store are young monks like Doctor Li. They came here for the valley of opportunity in half a year."
