Chapter 210: Leasing a Cave
Xiao Lin finally understood after listening patiently that the ancient Xuan Sect's method of recruiting disciples was quite different from that of the five major sects.
Of course, the first path is the same. Anyone whose spiritual root level is higher than the earth spiritual root can directly join the sect. It can be seen that no matter where you are, qualifications are very important factors. .
The second article is relatively new to Xiao Lin, but it is somewhat similar to the imperial examination he heard from the old people in the village when he was ordinary. Yuxi country also has an imperial examination to select outstanding talents. I heard it happens every three years.
However, the old man in Xiaolin Village who taught them how to read couldn't read a single book. Naturally, it was impossible for him to teach people who could take the imperial examination.
As for the third article, Xiao Lin had some doubts in his heart. He went to Fengzhou Bones Battlefield and killed ten demonic monks. How many demonic monks must there be before a large number of casual cultivators can kill them?
Seemingly seeing the doubts in Xiao Lin's mind, Meng Ping said: "To the east of Fengzhou is Kuzhou, which belongs to the Black Demon Sect. The Black Demon Sect also occupies several states in the Southern Territory. In terms of strength, Not inferior to Gu Xuanzong at all.”
"Furthermore, I heard that one of the conditions for joining the Black Demon Sect is to kill ten immortal monks on the Bone Battlefield. In fact, the so-called demonic and immortal ways are not all the same. Within the several states where the Black Demon Sect is located, cultivators Although most of them practice demonic techniques, which are vicious and cruel, in the final analysis it is just a kind of technique. How does the technique come to be good or bad? In the final analysis, it is still a dispute between the ancient Xuan Sect and the Black Demon Sect. "
Hearing this, Xiao Lin looked at Meng Ping differently, but after understanding the truth about the conditions for joining the sect, he was speechless. To put it bluntly, the struggle between the two sects requires a large number of low-level casual cultivators. It would be a bit cruel to decide on life.
But after thinking about it, Xiao Lin felt that it was natural. On the one hand, the so-called killing of ten cultivators from the other side would naturally weaken the strength of the cultivators within the Black Demon Sect's sphere of influence. On the other hand, it would also weaken the cultivators within his own sphere of influence. A test that can be said to be the best of both worlds.
Xiao Lin then thought about the catacomb trial he participated in in order to join Dancao Mountain. In comparison, it was even more cruel. Tens of thousands of cultivators entered the catacombs, but in the end less than a thousand came out.
It seems that no matter where you cultivate, if you want to move up, you have to go through cruel struggles.
The queue entering the city kept shortening as the two talked, and soon it was their turn.
After roughly understanding the power situation here, Xiao Lin became more and more full of expectations for this fairy city within the influence of the ancient Xuanzong.
In such a huge fairy city, there are still a lot of rare cultivation resources in it.
After paying five pieces of low-grade spirit stones, Xiao Lin entered the city. After entering the city, Meng Ping said goodbye to Xiao Lin, and the two parted ways, while Xiao Lin walked straight into the fairy city.
Although the entrance fee of five low-grade spiritual stones is not much to Xiao Lin, who is in the foundation-building stage, it is a bit too much for a large number of monks in the Qi-refining stage. Xiao Lin saw that Meng Ping When he paid the entrance fee, his face was trembling, which showed how much pain he felt.
The scene in the fairy city did not disappoint Xiao Lin. There were many shops, and there was a large shop every few miles.
Just in those small shops, Xiao Lin saw a large amount of cultivation materials. The customers of these shops were naturally mainly Qi Refining Stage monks, but there were also a small amount of second-level materials for sale in the shops. Although these materials, Xiao Lin Lin was already a little disdainful, but it made him full of expectations for those big shops.
Thinking of this, Xiao Lin started wandering around the Southern Wilderness Fairy City. Soon Xiao Lin came to the west of the city. There was actually a large market here. There were countless monks in the Qi Refining Stage coming and going, which surprised Xiao Lin. What's strange is that while he was wandering around, he sensed at least four or five cultivators in the foundation-building stage who were also visiting Xifang City in this city.
"Huh?" Xiao Lin stopped in front of a stall. The stall owner was a man in his forties with a thick beard, sitting upright with his eyes slightly closed.
As if sensing someone stopping in front of his stall, he opened his eyes.
Xiao Lin looked at the pile of inconspicuous wrinkled seeds on the stall, and saw the bearded man open his eyes. Xiao Lin pointed at the small pile of wrinkled seeds and asked, "Are these the seeds of bitter ginseng?"
Bitter ginseng is one of the auxiliary elixirs for refining Qi Yuan Dan, and it is also a relatively rare elixir. Xiao Lin once searched for it, but never found anything. He didn't expect that it would be found in the market of the Southern Wasteland Fairy City. found it.
"How to sell the seeds of this bitter ginseng?" Now that he saw it, Xiao Lin would not miss it.
"If fellow Taoist disciples want this small pile of bitter ginseng seeds, it will cost them eighty low-grade spiritual stones." The thick-bearded man glanced at Xiao Lin and said.
He casually took out a small bag of spiritual stones from the storage bag and handed it to the thick-bearded man.
The thick-bearded man glanced at Xiao Lin in surprise. He seemed a little surprised as to why Xiao Lin didn't even tell the price and just bought it. However, he didn't say anything, but wrapped the small pile of seeds and handed it to him. Xiao Lin.
Xiao Lin took the seeds, put them in the storage bag, turned around and left, and continued shopping.
The items in this market really opened Xiao Lin's eyes. The complete range of items far surpassed the market in Xueling Fairy City. Xiao Lin felt that the trip was worth it. Xiao Lin even felt a little grateful to Liu Mei. If it weren't for this woman If you drive yourself out of the snowfield, you may not discover this fairy city.
Xiao Lin found all the more than a dozen spiritual materials for refining Qi Yuan Dan in this market. Xiao Lin bought hundreds of them at once. The only thing that disappointed him was that he was in this market. After shopping around, I couldn't find any seeds of "Bitan Qingguo".
This green sandalwood fruit is the main medicine for refining Qi Yuan Dan, so it is naturally more precious. Xiao Lin did not expect to be able to directly purchase this kind of spiritual fruit, but what disappointed him was that the seeds were not even sold.
However, Xiao Lin was not without gains. In addition to buying bitter ginseng seeds, he also bought several three-flame grass seeds from a stall.
Three-flame grass is a second-level spiritual grass. Xiao Lin once saw an introduction to this kind of spiritual grass in the Dancao Mountain Stone Palace. Three-flame grass can be used to refine some second-level spiritual feeding pills for raising spiritual pets. Not only In this way, the three flame grass also has a function, which is that once the spirit insect eats the three flame grass, there is a certain chance of evolving.
In the past, Xiao Lin would naturally have no interest in this kind of spiritual grass, but after having the Soul-Eating Fire Gu, this Three Flame Grass is extremely precious to him. You must know that the truly mature Three Flame Grass on the market Grass, in terms of price, is still far higher than the Five Elements Spirit Grass.
Just these few seeds of Three Flame Grass cost Xiao Lin more than 160 low-grade spiritual stones.
After wandering around the city for more than two hours, Xiao Lin looked up at the dim sky. After purchasing several maps of the vicinity of the Southern Wasteland Fairy City, he turned around and left the city.
More than half an hour later, Xiao Lin arrived at the northern part of the Southern Wasteland Immortal City. Here was a small mountain range, but these mountains were not big, only about a hundred feet high, covering an area of about dozens of miles.
The reason why Xiao Lin came here was because he could rent a training cave here, which provided everything from meditation to alchemy, weapon refining, and talisman making.
Xiao Lin entered a three-story shop standing in front of the mountain range. When he saw Xiao Lin coming in, a clerk immediately came to greet him.
Xiao Lin's spiritual sense sensed slightly and discovered that this guy turned out to be a cultivator at the eighth level of Qi refining. However, at this moment, Xiao Lin did not use the Hidden Spirit Technique to hide his cultivation, but revealed his cultivation in the foundation building period.
The reason why Xiao Lin is like this is, on the one hand, to prevent the monks who are not short-sighted from secretly making plans for themselves; on the other hand, because his cultivation level is low, he is not taken seriously in the shops in the fairy city. For monks in the foundation building period, those shops can They are all trying their best to fawn over and want to take out all the best things in the store.
Of course, this is also because the purchasing power of monks in the foundation-building stage is definitely far greater than that of monks in the refining stage.
"Ah, it turns out it's senior. I wonder if senior wants to rent a clean repair cave, or refine elixirs, magic weapons, and talismans?"
"I want to rent a training cave, so I came here to take a look."
"Senior, you have come to the right place. Our [Baifuju] cave is not inferior to the training caves of ordinary small sects. You must know that our [Baifuju] is built on a medium-sized mineral vein. Each of the caves is not only very safe, but also full of spiritual energy, which can definitely speed up the cultivation speed of cultivators. "
"Oh? Then I'd like to try it." Xiao Lin smiled casually and followed the waiter to the counter.
There was an old man sitting behind the counter, holding an abacus instrument. When he saw Xiao Lin and the waiter walking over, he immediately said with a smile on his face: "Senior, our caves here are mainly divided into three categories. They are high-level, intermediate and low-level, and these three types of caves can be seen from their locations.”
As he said that, the old man took out three animal skins from behind the counter and placed them in front of Xiao Lin. Some of the caves on these three animal skins had been painted with red pen. Needless to say, these caves had been rented out. And those that have not been painted have naturally not been rented out.
"The high-level cave has the richest spiritual energy, at least twice as much as the intermediate cave. The annual cost is one hundred low-grade spiritual stones, while the annual cost of the intermediate cave is fifty low-grade spiritual stones. As for the lowest low-level cave, the annual cost is It only requires ten low-level spiritual stones, but there are no more vacant low-level caves, and now there are only intermediate and high-level caves.”
Hearing this, Xiao Lin saw that the caves on one of the animal skins had been smeared with red pen. It seems that it was because of the large number of Qi Refining Stage monks in the fairy city that the supply of cheap low-level caves exceeded the demand.
After thinking for a while, Xiao Lin asked: "But I wonder how safe these high-level caves and intermediate caves are?"
Hearing this, the old man immediately replied with a smile: "Senior, you can rest assured on this point. We have asked the formation masters of the ancient Xuan Sect to arrange the [Three-Yuan Spirit Locking Array] in every high-end cave. Even for cultivators in the middle and late stages of foundation building, , it is impossible to break through the formation restrictions in a short time. "
"The Intermediate Cave Mansion has also set up dragon-breaking stones. It is not easy to break them. Moreover, we [Baifuju] have several foundation-building cultivators on duty all year round. Once there is a problem, they will appear immediately to ensure the safety of all customers. Safety."
