Chapter 42 Tongzhou Immortal League(1/2)
Tongzhou is located in the northwest border of the mortal country of the Xianling Continent, bordering the prehistoric world...
Since ancient times, it has been said that the Immortal Continent is a place where monsters are rampant. This place not only connects to the east and west states, but also is between mountains and steep mountains. It has deep forests, countless cliffs, boundless prehistoric times, and is full of crises. It is not easy for ordinary people to enter...
This place is about ten thousand miles away from the Great Zhou Dynasty, and it connects countless countries. It cannot be reached by mortals without walking for several years... Even those who have achieved success in cultivation can fly with their swords with boundless magic power for several months... Therefore, this Jedi is called a "dangerous land" by cultivators in the mortal land of the Immortal Continent...
"The prehistoric land was originally thousands of miles away from the place where the vast and populated mortals lived. However, hundreds of years ago, the army of monsters invaded Dongzhou for some reason, causing a catastrophe of the Immortal Continent. As a result, the major immortal sects in Dongzhou gathered immortals three hundred miles away from the prehistoric land, and thousands of cultivators fought with monsters for ten days and ten nights, and finally defeated the demon army. At this point, the seven sects of the Taoist sect, led by Guiyuan, combined with the immortal sects in Dongzhou. In order to maintain the peace of the mortal country, eight cities were built a hundred miles away from the prehistoric land, and the eight directions of Qiankun formation were used as the leader, and the demon army was blocked tightly in the prehistoric land."
"For hundreds of years, the seven sects of the Dao Sect have each held their own side and have been stationed in the northwest border, and have not dared to act rashly. The monsters in the prehistoric world are often unwilling to stay in the prehistoric world and often invade the border. After a while, the name of Tongzhou has begun..."
In the sky of Wuyun, the sword was roaring and two figures stood firmly above them. They were the two masters and disciples Chen and Lu Chen who came from thousands of miles from the territory of the Dazhou.
"Huh? Master, there are seven gates of Dao Sect, how can eight cities come from..." Lu Chen was a little puzzled when he heard this.
Le Chen said, "You don't know that the eight directions of Qiankun array is a forbidden array, which contains the eight desolates of heaven and earth. Yin and Yang are connected to each other. No formation can be formed unless the eight directions are formed. Therefore, the eighth city is established by countless small cultivators. This city is called the city of Tongzhou Immortal Alliance. Don't look at the complex origin of this city, but there are big figures sitting in the formation behind it."
"Big man?"
"Well, this person is a first-level casual cultivator named Yue Xuan Zhenren. He has learned the method of cultivating immortals and lives deep in the mountains and forests. When the monsters invaded the border hundreds of years ago, this person has already achieved the late stage of the Golden Pill. After many years, he is probably now at the Nascent Soul stage."
"The Nascent Soul Stage." Lu Chen sighed: "No wonder he was able to organize these small sects."
Le Chen smiled and said, "Although the seven sects of the Immortal Spirit Continent are the first-class sects, this Immortal Alliance is not bad. But Yue Xuan has no ambitions, so the Immortal Alliance has never been very famous. This time, I will be my master to let you enter the city of the Immortal Alliance and use it to practice your cultivation."
"Master, we have been flying for two months. The disciple still doesn't know how to practice this time?"
Le Chen turned around, looked at Lu Chen with a low glance, and smiled and said, "It's very simple, I want you to enter the prehistoric world."
"Ah?" After hearing this, Lu Chen almost fell off the flying sword: "Honghuang, Master, you are not wrong. Didn't he say that Honghuang has been sealed?"
"It was sealed, but not all." I had expected Lu Chen to have such an expression, but Le Chen didn't care. Instead, he said: "It was sealed, that's just a saying to the mortal kingdom. In fact, for me, the prehistoric world is an excellent place for cultivation. There are monsters living in groups, which can allow you to be in a crisis state often. By wandering between life and death, you can fully understand the immortal path, and practice there, the speed is much faster than in the sect."
As he said that, Le Chen's expression condensed and said with a strong force: "Especially for you, the Great Yan Immortal Art is several times more magic power than ordinary people need. If you don't practice here, it will be impossible to reach the eighth level of Qi training in three years. So this will be the only place where you can complete your cultivation. You have to give me some effort. If you can't reach the eighth level of cultivation in three years, you don't have to go back to Ganyu Sect, let alone you be my Le Chen's disciple..."
"I understand." Lu Chen understood completely. It seemed that Lechen attached great importance to him, but he actually came up with this radical method to stimulate himself to practice diligently.
"That's the prehistoric world. In this way, in the next day, wouldn't I have to spend three years under the fierce gaze of countless monsters? It's really cruel." Lu Chen couldn't help but feel abrupt.
"arrive."
Just as he thought of this, Lu Chen heard Chen's low shout, and after Chen's flying sword stopped in the air, a huge city several miles away had already come into view.
"I will send you here. You can't enter the city. You can walk the next route by yourself. Remember, you must work a hundred times more hard to reach the tenth level of Qi training." Le Chen reminded him, and took out a volume of classics and a flying sword and handed it to Lu Chen, saying, "Don't you always want the classics of the sword technique? Look, this is the secret book of Kongyuan Sword, and this low-grade magic weapon, and a hundred spirit stones are given to you."
If it were before, Lu Chen would have been surprised by obtaining these treasures. But now he would not be happy when he thought that he would soon enter the prehistoric world and deal with monsters.
He took the things that Chen gave him with helpless look on his face. Lu Chen didn't even look at it and threw them into Qiankun's bag, then said, "Master, you are leaving now."
"If you don't leave? Why am I still staying here?" Le Chen frowned.
"Oh, no, the disciple is just asking..." It was obvious that Lu Chen didn't want to enter the city.
Le Chen gave Lu Chen a white look and said in a stern tone: "Let me practice well and come back alive."
As he said that, Lechen ignored Lu Chen, took off his sword, and left.
"Isn't this nonsense? Do you think I want to die? Oh, why is Dao's life so miserable? He got on the pirate ship." Lu Chen was secretly upset and shook his head and walked towards the city gate ahead.
...
There are eight cities in Tongzhou. Just like the one introduced by Le Chen, the other seven cities are all determined by the names of the seven gates of the Daozong, and the same is true for this Immortal Alliance.
Walking on the official road, not long after, the city of "Immortal Alliance" engraved with vigorous and powerful magic power on the city tower came into view.
Lu Chen took a helpless look and slowly walked towards the city gate.
"Stop~, what are you doing?"
As soon as he arrived at the city gate, Lu Chen was blocked by two cultivators guarding the city. He looked away with his divine eye technique: "Be good, even the people guarding the city are at the seventh level of Qi training. The strength of this Immortal Alliance is extraordinary~"
Lu Chen exclaimed, hugged and said, "Two fellow Taoists, I want to enter the city~"
"Enter the city?" One of the big men guarding the city carried a magic weapon, broad sword, looked up and down at Lu Chen, and said in a deep voice: "It turns out that he is a newcomer. If you want to enter the city, pay the fee first."
"Pay the fee?" Lu Chen was stunned and thought to himself: "Master has never said that he has to pay for entering the city."
Seeing Lu Chen confused, another young Taoist priest who looked relatively pleasing to the eye said: "Of course you have to pay a fee, a low-grade spirit stone, and buy a waist card."
"Oh~" Although he still didn't understand much, Lu Chen took out a low-grade spirit stone and handed it on it.
The big man no longer made things difficult for Lu Chen, but turned around and took out a small iron plate under a square table behind him, handed it to Lu Chen, and said, "Please take this, just enter a trace of mana power and enter it. Also, you need to register your identity here."
"Oh, oh~" Although the two of them had a bad attitude, Lu Chen still responded with the mentality that it was better to have less than more things than more things.
"Name?" asked the big man holding a booklet in his hand.
"Lu..., Yuhu." Lu Chen did not hold his name, but only reported the report number.
The man didn't care and then asked, "What kind of spiritual roots."
"Uh, I have to ask this too." Lu Chen curled his lips reluctantly: "Tu."
"Tu?" The two Taoist priests guarding the city were stunned when they heard this, looked at each other, and said nothing.
"Cultivation?"
"The fifth level of Qi training..." Lu Chen said casually, without false reports, and there was no one here who knew him, so it didn't matter.
“Fifth floor?”
This time, the two Taoist priests guarding the city exclaimed in surprise. The man closed the booklet in his hand, looked up and down at Lu Chen and said, "Fifth Level of Qi Practice?"
"Yeah. Is there any problem?" Lu Chen was also surprised and thought to himself: "What's wrong? Is the fifth floor very high?"
The two looked at each other again, their eyes full of incredible expressions, but in the end they didn't say anything and let it go.
Lu Chen thanked him, thinking that there were too many rules here, so he walked slowly into it.
Not too far away, Lu Chen, who had a clear ear and eye, heard the conversation between the great man and the young man.
"I dare to come here after the fifth level of Qi training. I am still a single earth spirit root. Where can I get the naughty green..."
"What if he doesn't care, he has assigned a spirit stone anyway, it doesn't matter if he dies..."
"Die?" Lu Chen paused his feet when he heard this, turned his head and couldn't help but wonder.
At this time, a figure approached quickly and reached his side in the blink of an eye, which scared Lu Chen.
"Hehe, this fellow Taoist, this is your first time in Xianmeng City."
The person who approached quickly was a thin Taoist priest wearing a yellow shirt and not looking very handsome. He had a pair of stingy eyebrows, a garlic nose, and a sharp chin. No matter how he looked, he didn't look like a good person.
Lu Chen took two steps back, looking at the yellow-shirt Taoist priest who was keeping a distance from the other party, frowned and said, "What's wrong? Isn't that allowed?"
"No, fellow Taoist misunderstood." The yellow-shirt Taoist priest smiled, hurriedly hugged his fists, and introduced himself: "I'm here to Li Tao, I'm lucky to be lucky..."
"I just heard that fellow Taoist Yuhu signed up for the registration at the city gate. I think it was my first time to come to the prehistoric world. I wonder if the fellow Taoist needs protection?"
Lu Chen can still understand this sentence as a blessing, that is, a bodyguard. But he doesn't need it.
"Showing your diligence if you have nothing to do, either annihilate or steal." Lu Chen felt a little nervous and refused, "I'm sorry, I don't need it."
Li Tao's face changed and she was quite unhappy, but he still kept a smile and said, "Fellow Taoist, please wait. I believe that fellow Taoist Taoist doesn't know how terrible it is."
"I know what? So what if I don't know?"
Li Tao sneered and straightened his body slightly: "Fellow Taoist, don't be careless. This is the prehistoric world. The low-level monsters inside are comparable to those of the seventh level of Qi training. With fellow Taoist's cultivation, it may be very dangerous..."
Speaking of this, Li Tao looked at Lu Chen with disdain and immediately turned into a sincere look: "Don't worry, fellow Taoist, our price is fair, we only need four low-grade spirit stones every day, and fellow Taoist can also obtain some share from the monsters they have hit. How about two layers?"
After hearing this, Lu Chen finally understood: Li Tao must have heard the Taoist priest who just asked about his situation, and then he heard everything, and then found himself and wanted to make a fortune.
"No wonder the two Taoist priests who were guarding the city said such disdain just now. It turns out that the monsters in the prehistoric world are so powerful, and the lowest level must have the seventh level of Qi training." Because of Li Tao's appearance, Lu Chen learned the first important news about the prehistoric world.
However, Lu Chen still did not intend to seek help from others. This was not because he didn't want to, but because Li Tao's appearance really made Lu Chen worried. He said that he was protecting him. If he really went to the prehistoric world, he would be killed directly to make money.
Lu Chen shook his head again, not focusing on Li Tao at all.
Finally, Li Tao's face became gloomy. He didn't expect Lu Chen to be so stubborn. He knew the terrible nature of the prehistoric world and didn't plan to hire him. Such a person really doesn't know how to live or die...
In fact, Lu Chen didn't know that in the prehistoric areas, anyone who came here to practice must have the minimum level of seven Qi training, otherwise it would be difficult to save his life, let alone make rapid progress. And a cultivator like Lu Chen who only had the fifth level of Qi training but still had no attack power could not walk in the prehistoric world at all. It was Li Tao who was attracted by this point that people like Lu Chen were hard to meet in the eight cities of Tongzhou, so he wanted to slaughter Lu Chen.
But who knew that Lu Chen was not at all enlightened, but instead became wary of himself.
Li Tao frowned and snorted coldly: "Since that's the case, Li won't say much. Friends Daoist do it themselves. I hope that there will be a chance to see fellow Taoist in the future."
After saying that, Li Tao's sleeves shook and left angrily.
Lu Chen didn't care about Li Tao's reaction at all. He looked at Li Tao coldly, and he turned toward the insider...
Following the spacious street, Lu Chen saw vendors selling various materials, some selling on the street, and some selling some things in shops, including low-level mysterious techniques, elixirs, magic medicines, Taoist talismans, red pens, etc., and even flying swords were sold. From this, Lu Chen also understood that in Xianmeng City, silver is worthless, and the currency used for trading can only be spiritual stones.
It was the first time I came to the edge of the prehistoric world. I was not familiar with the situation here. Lu Chen planned to understand it. For a naughty young man like him, Lu Chen was very clear about it. No matter how good you understand these things, the places like inns and tea shops used to rest.
So, Lu Chen found a larger inn in Xianmeng City, ordered a few steamed buns and two kilograms of cured meat, and called the pagoda to give a low-grade spirit stone. He would soon find out.
"The gate of Xianmeng City will be opened at the Mao time, and you will enter and exit at will with your identity and waist sign. The gate of Xu time will be closed to refuse all cultivators' entry and exit. Guests can live in small shops or rent small courtyards to rest on the East Street. Of course, small shops are cheaper, and those small courtyards are relatively safe and quiet, but the price is several times more expensive."
"There are places in the city that purchase monster materials. The bigger one is the Xianmeng Auction House, and the smaller ones are the various shops. Customers can also trade with others. When it comes to safety, it is the Xianmeng Auction House. Moreover, Xianmeng Auction House will be held regularly to sell some Qibaos that cannot be seen in normal times."
"The boundaries are drawn in the prehistoric world. There are three places where cultivators with the Qi training stage can enter and exit at will. They all rely on their own cultivation. Their strength is generally in the seventh level, eighth level, and nineth level. As for the tenth level, it is much more dangerous. Xiangli will probably have the foundation building stage, or even the strength of the Golden Pill stage. In fact, the prehistoric world is very dangerous, because most of the monsters here live in groups, and some places where cultivators with the Qi training level can enter and exit may not necessarily make people escape unstoppable, haha..."
"Oh, and also, fighting is not allowed in Xianmeng City. No matter what the reason is, the guest officials need to be more cautious, otherwise it will be very troublesome..."
