Chapter 125 Yuling City

Qingyang was about to take Yu Mengmiao to Yuling City, and Liang Chongtian had been playing in Liangzhou City for almost half a month and was also preparing to return to Yuling City, so they were on the same road. So the two talked for a while, and seeing that it was getting late, the three of them headed towards Yuling City together.

The journey for the first three days was relatively easy to walk, and villages and fields they had reclaimed could be seen around them. On the fourth day, the number of pedestrians on the road gradually decreased, and the road suddenly became difficult. They gradually entered the mountainous area.

Liangzhou City is supposed to be the center of the entire Liangzhou. I don’t know where so many mountains come from, and the mountains here are steep, the roads are difficult to walk, and there are few people. Even herbalists and hunters rarely come here. But it’s only relative to ordinary people. For masters like Liang Chongtian and Qingyang, the impact is not very big. Only Yu Mengmiao is too young and needs two people to take turns carrying him.

The mountains here are not only steep, but also have many beasts and birds. In addition, the surrounding fog is like a natural barrier, isolating most ordinary people from the outside. Even if there are ordinary people from the outside world who suddenly break in, they will take the initiative to retreat because they can't tell the direction clearly or there are too many beasts.

As the three of them gradually go deeper, Qingyang gradually feels the difference between this mountain range and Xiping Prefecture. Although the mountains here may not be as large as those over there, the ability to gather spiritual energy is much greater, so the spiritual energy of the entire mountain range is more concentrated than that over there. Yuling City is built in such a place, and it is estimated that the amount of spiritual energy is also one of the main reasons.

This is the case on the outskirts of the mountains. Yuling City will definitely be better. Practicing here for a day is more efficient than practicing in other places. Who would not want to come here? It is estimated that only low-level casual cultivators like Lame Taoist and Beggar King who feel that there is no hope of breakthrough in this life, or who can't stay here, will go to the secular world to live a life.

Perhaps because the Immortal Knocking Conference was about to begin, they would occasionally meet other casual cultivators on the same journey. However, in such a desolate mountain, everyone was wary of each other, and no one would take the initiative to say hello. Even if they met head-on, they would leave in a hurry.

The world of immortal cultivation is not as peaceful as the outside world thinks. Killing and robbing treasures are also very common, especially in remote and sparsely populated places. If one party is sufficiently sure, there may be cultivators who will suddenly decide to do it. Fortunately, Liang Chongtian, a cultivator of the ninth level of the Kaimai Realm, was with Qingyang this time, otherwise it is very likely that there would be some danger.

However, there are still a few who dare to do such things. Most cultivators are still more observant of the rules, because sometimes there will be cultivators who claim to be righteous and meddle in other people's affairs, and those major immortal sects will occasionally clean up such cultivators.

If someone sees someone doing such a thing and spreads it, their reputation will be ruined, so such things are relatively secretive. Generally, they will do it if there is a great interest attraction and they are sure enough to kill the mouth. Of course, those who have a bad reputation and are willing to give up are not important.

With Liang Chongtian, who is familiar with the situation, leading the way, the journey was much smoother. The originally planned journey of seven or eight days, they arrived at the destination on the morning of the seventh day.

Standing on a small hill, Liang Chongtian pointed to a large city in the valley in front and said: "That is Yuling City, the largest gathering place for scattered cultivators in Liangzhou. The whole city has a population of more than 100,000."

In front is a rectangular valley, more than ten miles wide and more than twenty miles long. Yuling City was built according to the terrain, covering an area of ​​tens of thousands of acres. The city is nearly ten feet high, tall and majestic, and even more majestic than the Liangzhou City they visited a few days ago.

The terrain in front of Yuling City is slightly lower, and the terrain in the back is slightly higher. As the terrain rises and falls, countless pavilions and towers are built, layered and staggered. Because the distance is too far, the situation inside Yuling City is not very real, but this momentum alone is fascinating.

A population of more than 100,000 people is more than the population of Xiping Prefecture where Qingyang lives, and it is not much less than the more prosperous Kaiyuan Prefecture. I didn't expect that there is such a big city in this deep mountain. Such a big city must have taken a lot of manpower to build.

Qingyang sighed: "In the secular world, many people will never see the legendary immortal master in their lifetime. It is like finding a needle in a haystack to meet a cultivator. There are so many people living here. It is true that the world you see is different if you are not at that level."

Liang Chongtian said: "I don't know how many thousands of years this Yuling City has been built. With the accumulation of time, it is normal to gather so many people. However, not all the people living in Yuling City are cultivators. Nearly 60% to 70% of them are just ordinary people."

Liang Chongtian didn't need to explain this. Qingyang could figure it out. When the scattered cultivators came to Yuling City, they didn't necessarily come alone. Some might bring followers, family members, etc. These people didn't want to leave, so they could only be ordinary people here. Qingyang also brought Yu Mengmiao with him when he came. If Yu Mengmiao didn't have spiritual roots, wouldn't he be the same as ordinary people in Yuling City?

Another reason is the offspring of cultivators. Generally speaking, the higher the cultivation level, the more difficult it is to produce offspring, the greater the chance of offspring having spiritual roots, and the corresponding qualifications will also be higher. On the contrary, the lower the cultivation level, the easier it is to produce offspring, the smaller the chance of having spiritual roots, and even if they have spiritual roots, their qualifications will definitely be relatively poor.

The people living in Yuling City are all casual cultivators, who are at the bottom of the entire world of cultivating immortals. Of course, the probability of their descendants being ordinary people is also the highest. These descendants of the monks grew up here and were accustomed to the life here. Of course, they did not want to leave Yuling City and live in a strange world.

Moreover, monks also need a lot of services. Many low-level casual monks cannot afford to hire the same monks to do work for them, so it is normal to hire a few ordinary people. Usually, just a little thing exposed between the fingers is enough for these ordinary people to live.

Then Liang Chongtian said again: "There are more than 100,000 people in the entire Yuling City. After deducting those ordinary people who cannot practice, there are still as many as 40,000 to 50,000 monks left. This number is much larger than that of the general sects of cultivating immortals." . However, the cultivation level of casual cultivators in Yuling City is generally relatively low. Nearly 90% of them are low-level cultivators in the Pulse Opening Stage. Only about 10% are in the Qi Refining Stage, and they are even rarer in the Foundation Building Stage. Compared with those who are cultivating immortals. Pie can’t be compared.”

This is normal. Those who can cultivate to a higher level are generally people with relatively good qualifications. Such people will definitely join the cultivating sect with more abundant cultivation resources, instead of slowly struggling in this Yuling City. Waste your own time.
