Chapter 656 Preliminary Exploration

The practice world near Huangcheng is so prosperous, so it is inevitable that practice techniques will flow out, but most of the techniques circulated in the market are not of high quality.

Most of them are castrated versions that have been cultivated to the early or middle stages of Qi refining.

It is very rare to be able to cultivate to the point of perfecting Qi, let alone later attain the foundation of Taoism.

As for the cultivation methods after Dao Ji and even pill formation, they can only be found by big forces and immortal cultivating families, and it is even more difficult to obtain them.

"In addition to the Law Enforcement Hall, the top forces in Huangcheng include the Demon Hunting Alliance, Jiange and the Situ Family."

Chen Liu talks eloquently:

"The Demon Hunting Alliance is a force united by many casual cultivators. It lives up to its name and focuses on hunting monsters and aliens. The leader of the alliance is a fake alchemy cultivator."

"Fake elixir?" Zhou Yi asked:

"What is a fake elixir?"

The golden elixir is the golden elixir, can it be true or false?

"Uh..." Chen Liu smiled dryly:

"Your Majesty, this is a blind question. I'm just a Qi practitioner, and senior Taoist masters don't dare to climb high. How can I know such things?"

"I know." Zizhen said:

"The so-called fake elixirs are those who have perfected the Taoist foundation and have not yet achieved the golden elixir. They have gained some power of the golden elixir with the help of external objects. Such beings are stronger than the Taoist basics but are far inferior to the real golden elixir masters."

"Shouyuan is also a Taoist foundation, but to a certain extent, it can explode the strength of the golden elixir, so it is called a fake elixir."

"Fairy is really well-informed." Chen Liu was amazed and said with a grin:

"In the future, when other people ask about villains, I can have an answer."

"Yeah." Zi Zhen looked calm:

"Is there only one golden elixir, Grandmaster Qianhe, in Huangcheng?"

Golden elixir,

Call it a guru.

Yuanshen,

Only then can they be replaced by real people.

The so-called Master Qianhe is just an honorific title for monks in the community. Taoist monks like Zizhen are more accustomed to being called Grandmaster.

"Yes."

Chen Liu didn't find anything wrong, he nodded and said:

"There is a golden elixir in Jiange, but I have only heard about it and have never seen it. Even the name of that person is controversial."

After all, his status is too low and the things he has access to are extremely limited.

"The Situ family also had a golden elixir master before, but he died in a real person's palace a few years ago. I'm afraid his decline will inevitably be inevitable in the future."

The real estate?

Zhou Yi and Zizhen looked at each other.

In recent years, only one real estate has appeared in Shiwandashan, and the original source was a prisoner detained in the Black Wind Mountain Criminal Court.

Because of this incident, many Daojis died, and the former cave master, the old monster Heifeng, was also trapped in a corner.

Unexpected.

Even Grandmaster Jindan fell among them.

"Such forces are so high up there that even the somewhat declining Situ family is beyond the reach of us." Chen Liu shook his head and said:

"In addition to them, there are many forces in Huangcheng, but those who can gain a firm foothold usually have one or two Taoist monks sitting in charge."

"There is Senior Qin behind Rufeiyun Inn. He is from the Law Enforcement Hall, so it is absolutely safe for the two of you to stay there."

"Yeah."

Zhou Yi nodded:

"First find a shop that sells elixirs."

"Yes!"

Chen Liuying is.

…………

After following Chen Liu around for a few days and gaining some understanding of Huangcheng, the two began to act alone.

Because there is no formation in Huangcheng, all the major forces are mixed together. However, if broken down, the many forces are clearly distinct from each other.

Such as:

The Monster Hunting Alliance is mainly engaged in the business of guarding, hunting, and buying and selling refined meat. It is famous for selling high-quality exotic beasts and monster meat.

The master of sword refinement.

The Situ family mainly focuses on alchemy.

The power of the Law Enforcement Hall is mostly distributed at auctions.

certainly.

It is impossible for such a big force to focus on only one thing. They are involved in various businesses such as making talismans, controlling beasts, and puppets, and they all benefit from each other.

Tianbao Hall.

Located in the core area of ​​Huangcheng, it claims to sell everything, but its background is not from the above mentioned companies, but from the cultivation world outside the mountains.

Unlike the local forces, which are chaotic and disorderly, the cultivating sects of the six countries outside the mountain have a small number of people, but they can cohere into one, and they are relatively more honest.

After all, you are doing business on someone else's territory, and you have to be wary of being picked on at all times.

"Two guests."

As soon as I stepped into the lobby, someone came to greet me:

"What do you need?"

"Well..."

"It turns out to be two seniors, please come upstairs!"

The aura of Brother Daoji was revealed, and the attitude of the service staff immediately changed. They respectfully led the two of them to the private room on the second floor.

Not long after.

An old man in a moon-white Taoist robe pushed open the door and saluted the two of them with a kind smile:

"Song Ming, a monk from the State of Zhao, met two fellow Taoists."

"Sanxiu Zizhen,"

"Zhou Yi, I have met fellow Taoist!"

Song Ming did not hide his aura, and his cultivation in the middle stage of Daoji was fully displayed, but he should be old, and there was an aura of decay in his body.

Compared with him, although Zhou Yi and the two men were not strong in aura, they were agile, active and full of vitality.

"Zizhen."

Song Ming's eyelids twitched and he said seriously:

"It turns out that the new Batu Caves master is in front of me. I'm so rude!"

The six countries outside the mountain are connected with each other, and the Qixuanmen has naturally spread the news about the events in Batu Cave in the past ten years long ago. Others don't know about Zizhen.

Tianbaotang has detailed records.

"I dare not take it seriously." Zizhen shook his head:

"The Batu Caves have been sold out. I'm just an individual who abandoned his family business."

"The fairy is too modest." Song Ming smiled and stroked his beard:

"It's just a hundred-year agreement. When the fairy completes her cultivation and returns to the cave, she will still be the master of Batu Cave. Who dares to disobey?"

"You two, do you need anything?"

"Mr. Song." Zhou Yi stretched out his hand and a jade slip fell on the table:

"Zhou once acquired a fire-controlling scripture in his early years. It should have been passed down from outside the mountain. Unfortunately, the method is incomplete. I wonder if there will be a follow-up?"

"Fire Control Scripture?" Song Ming picked up the jade slip, scanned the description inside with his spiritual mind, nodded and said:

"Yes, this method is a branch inheritance of Tianyan Sect. It emphasizes technique rather than Tao. There is a fire control treasure scripture in the follow-up."

"Maybe sold outside?" Zhou Yi leaned forward:

“The price is easy to talk about.”

"This..." Song Ming smiled bitterly:

"After all, it is an inheritance from his sect. It is usually not sold outside, and Tianbao Hall does not have it. However, there is a fellow Taoist who practices this method. I can help you ask."

"That's it." Zhou Yi's eyes filled with regret:

"Good work!"

He has a golden finger with a permanent certificate, which is most suitable for practicing magical powers. If he can learn the content behind the fire control scripture, his strength can be greatly improved in a short time.

It may not be impossible to compete with Daoji in the mid-term.

What a pity...

It is not easy to get started with such methods.

"Song Lao."

Zizhen said:

"Is there any good elixir we need for our practice?"

"Yes." Song Ming nodded:

"Nine Transformation Pills, Yuanyang Pills, and Earth Spirit Pills can all increase the cultivation level of Daoji monks. Tianbao Pavilion also has Qingshuang Pill and Ningbi Pill of better quality."

"The last two are our unique elixirs!"

"..." Zi Zhen narrowed his eyes, thought for a while and asked again:

"There is a magic medicine that can strengthen Qi and blood."

"Yes."

Song Ming glanced at Zizhen curiously. Strong Qi and blood are mostly needed by body-training cultivators. Could it be that this delicate girl who is also a body-training cultivator bought it for Zhou Yi?

"Longli Dan and Huangji Dan are both elixirs that greatly replenish qi and blood."

After a pause, he continued:

"In fact, to replenish energy and blood, it is more suitable to go to the Demon Hunting Alliance to buy their refined meat. High-quality exotic animal meat and monster meat are more suitable for nourishing the physical body."

“The price is also relatively cheaper.”

This man was an honest man, and he took the initiative to promote business, or he thought he couldn't hide it, so he just said it and sold a favor.

"Exotic meat?"

Zizhen frowned subconsciously, and Zhou Yi shrugged.

Except for the three true disciples of Batu Cave, it can be said that all of them are alien beasts. For these two people, eating the flesh of alien beasts is equivalent to eating humans.

For a while, it was hard to accept.

"How to sell Qingshuang Dan?"

"A bottle of seven pills, priced at thirty mid-grade spiritual stones. This pill can not only increase mana, but also boost the power of the soul to a certain extent."

Hiss...

Zhou Yi couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.

Thirty middle-grade spiritual stones?

Is this the market price of Daoji monk?

It’s so expensive!

Was it too impulsive to say that the price was good just now?

It is said that one medium-grade spiritual stone can be exchanged for a hundred low-grade spiritual stones, but in fact it is far more than that. The market price has reached an exaggerated one to one hundred and seventy.

Thirty middle-grade spiritual stones, the inner disciples of Batu Cave may not be able to accumulate in their lifetime.

However, this is a deserted city with many practitioners. The price of goods is far from that of Batu Caves. It is relatively easy to make money by spending money like water, so it is safe to think about it.

“Where is Ningbi Dan?”

"A bottle of thirty-six spiritual stones. Compared with Qingshuang Dan, Ningbi Dan can also repair the hidden wounds of the human body and help heal the body."

Zizhen nodded and asked about the price of the body refining pill.

"That's right."

Zhou Yi found an opportunity to interject:

"Is there a map of the Hundred Thousand Mountains here?"

"No." Song Ming shook his head:

"Fellow Taoist should know that we are outsiders after all, and it is easy for others to find out about rubbing the map, but you can go to Jiange and ask, there should be one there."

"Of course, it's impossible to do it all."

Zhou Yi understood.

It seems that Song Ming has some on hand, but he doesn't plan to sell them. It doesn't matter, as long as there is something to sell, it won't be short of a day or two.

"That's it!"

Zizhen got up:

"Let's get a bottle of the elixir first. I have to ask Mr. Song to pay more attention to the magic method."

"Natural."

Song Ming nodded repeatedly, clapped his hands and asked someone to deliver the elixir.

Watching a pile of spiritual stones being taken away, Zhou Yi still felt a little pain in his eyes even though it was not his own money.

Rich people!

Before Zizhen came, he sold Batu Caves at a discount, but he made a lot of money from Qianman Mountain and Wanling Cave. Even if some of it was used to install formations, some of it was left to Yushu and others, and they no longer had it on hand. few.

I bought the elixir without blinking an eye.

I think if it is easy to use, she will buy it in large quantities later, so that her cultivation and strength can continue to improve by leaps and bounds.

"Both of you."

Delivered to the door, Song Ming handed over an invitation:

"After some time, there will be a small meeting held by several Taoist friends in Beiwang Mountain. Various materials will be exchanged during the meeting. If you have time, you might as well go and take a look."

"Okay." Zhou Yi accepted the invitation:

"It will definitely bother you."

Song Ming's eyes moved slightly, nodded and watched the two people leave.

'strangeness. ’

‘Didn’t the news from Qixuanmen say that Zhou Yi is the blood-contract slave of the new cave master of Batu Caves? Why do they seem to have equal status between the two? ’

‘Even more powerful than the new cave master? ’

'eccentric! eccentric! ’

*

*

*

"Huh..."

Zi Zhen exhaled turbid air and slowly put away the method.

After taking the elixir, her practice progress has really improved a lot. If there is a steady supply of elixirs, she is sure to advance to the late stage of Taoji in a few decades.

Even...

Completed the sixth level of the Ten Thousand Demons Body!

At that time, even if you face the master, you will be able to compete.

"What are you looking at?" He stood up and looked towards where Zhou Yi was. Seeing that he was immersed in the painting, he couldn't help but ask curiously.

"A good map." Zhou Yi raised his head:

“I can’t believe that the Hundred Thousand Mountains is so big?”

"Yes." Zizhen nodded:

"The Hundred Thousand Mountains stretch endlessly, and become more dangerous as you go inward. Even Grandmaster Jindan cannot tell what is in the deepest part."

"Let's not talk about this for now." Zhou Yi closed the scroll and said:

"There are only a few forces that can help you find people and resist the Black Wind monster. Have you decided which one to join?"

"The Law Enforcement Hall is the best." Zi Zhense said:

"With the support of Grandmaster Jindan and his official status, I don't dare to take action when the master comes, but it is not easy to join him."

"Jiange is second, but this force is too conservative and I don't like it."

"The Demon Hunting Alliance has the most practitioners, and the two deputy leaders are probably not weaker than the master, but it's a pity that it's too complicated inside."

"The Situ family is declining day by day, so it is the easiest to join, and if you join now, you can still be in a high position. Unfortunately, the future is unpredictable."

"It's difficult!"

"Then let's take it one step at a time." Zhou Yi shrugged:

"Let's go to Xiaohui first. We are new here and no one knows about us. In a few days, other forces will send invitations."

"Yeah."

Zi Zhen nodded.

Beiwang Mountain is located on the edge of the deserted city.

Reality.

Most Daoji monks live outside the deserted city.

The major forces have taken over all the spiritual energy in the core of the deserted city. If others want to practice in a place with sufficient spiritual energy, they can only move away.

Even the Demon Hunting Alliance Association is on the periphery.

"Both of you."

When the light fell, Song and Ming welcomed him warmly and introduced the monks in the field:

"Everyone, these two are Fairy Zizhen and Taoist friend Zhou Yi. They have achieved Taoism at a young age and have a bright future."

"This is Fellow Taoist Chizhang among the Three Friends of Lishan. Fellow Daoist Wen and Daoist Qian are not here?"

"The two of them were out on business and couldn't come over." Chizhang had a red-haired face and was less than five feet tall, but his voice sounded like an old man.

"This is Fairy Zhu Qian from the Sword Pavilion. Her swordsmanship is extraordinary. Song feels inferior to her."

"Mr. Song is so polite."

Zhu Qian is good-looking and looks to be no more than 28 years old. His cultivation is hard to tell, but he can impress Song and Ming. He is most likely in the middle stage of Taoism.

Most of these small gatherings were with acquaintances, and the atmosphere was relatively relaxed. In addition, they had already known that outsiders would come, so the two of them quickly integrated into it.

Not far away.

A handsome young man turned his eyes and landed on Zizhen, his eyes couldn't help but light up:

"What a beautiful fairy!"

"The man's name is Zizhen. It is said that he is a casual cultivator. However, there is no truth in what Song and Ming Dynasty said. I think we need to check his background." One person said in a low voice:

"Master, the name of the person next to her is Zhou Yi, and he is her Taoist companion."

"Already have a Taoist companion?" The young master frowned, and his admiring eyes became much lighter:

"That's all!"

"The aura is mixed. I'm afraid Zhou Yi is not of pure human blood. He may be an alien. Can such a thing be slept with?"

He already had a mysophobia, and when he thought of such a beautiful woman sleeping in the same bed with a heterogeneous creature, he felt deeply uncomfortable in his heart.

It’s okay not to want this kind of woman!

"What?"

At this moment, there was a moderate commotion in the venue.

"Fellow Daoist Zhou is actually an array mage?"

"I don't dare to be a formation mage, I just know a little bit about it." Zhou Yiqian handed over his hand:

"There are very few formations that Zhou can set up."

"That's enough!" Song Ming looked surprised:

"Brother Zhou has this ability. The major forces in Huangcheng should be able to choose at will. No matter which family, they will treat you two as guests." (End of Chapter)
