Taoist companions help me live forever

A few hours later.

Flying over hundreds of kilometers.

A city built around a mountain can be seen in the distance.

In terms of area, it is about the same size as an ordinary county town in Yue State. At a rough glance, there is nothing special about the scenery.

Just ordinary, unremarkable.

Yu Xian almost wondered if he was flying in the wrong direction.

He took out the map he bought from the oasis and after comparing it with the surrounding landmarks many times, he finally confirmed to his disappointment that this was Shangyang City - the city that was once equated with the fairy city in his heart.

Once upon a time, one of his dreams was to succeed in cultivation and then move into this city that the casual cultivators said was like a fairyland.

When there were still ten miles away from Shangyang City, Yu Xian had already seen the crowds of people, so he slowly descended from the sky with Yu Lan and chose to walk into the city.

Although Shangyang City is far from the fairy city in his mind, it still has hidden dragons and crouching tigers, and there are many experts.

He had just arrived and didn't understand any rules, so it was better to keep a low profile.

Such careless people fly over other people's heads, and if they encounter small-minded people, they may become enemies with them.

There is a racing track on the road, and there are ruts left by the convoy in front of it.

The two of them walked along the road and soon saw the city wall of Shangyang City.

Under the city wall are shanty towns, scattered in an orderly manner.

Except for some elegant courtyard houses and small two-story attics, most of them are simply built with a shed and surrounded by a fence, which is considered a house.

In my spare time, I also saw people feeding chickens and ducks, which was full of life.

Seeing this scene, Yu Xian's eyes flashed with memories.

When he was farming for a certain cultivator family, he lived in a shanty house like this. It had no advantages. The main reason was that it was simple to build and could be dismantled and moved around.

A long and wide avenue was left in the middle of the shanty town, leading directly to the city gate.

There are monks setting up stalls on both sides of the road.

From time to time, people would get into quarrels over the stalls, and the sound would be heard far away, attracting monks who looked like urban management officers and quickly drove away the quarreling stall owners.

However, the stall owners here seem to be very disciplined. They only make simple calls and do not solicit customers.

Yu Xian held Yulan's hand, and the two of them walked back and forth, not only watching, but secretly feeling frightened.

He originally thought that there was nothing interesting about the roadside stalls, but after taking a closer look, he realized that the quality of the stalls here was extremely high.

Pills, magic weapons, magic talismans, medicinal materials, rare ores, spiritual pets...

They sell everything.

However, Yu Xian was relieved when he thought that this was Shangyang City.

After walking through the avenue, Yu Xian saw the city wall up close.

The city wall of Shangyang City is not high, about five or six feet, which is not half as high as the palace wall of Yue Kingdom.

But Yu Xian carefully discovered that the material for building the city wall was bricks smelted from an unknown metal, and each brick was engraved with shallow runes.

Some of the bricks had stains of dried blood that had not washed away, and seemed to have become part of the city wall.

The entire city wall seems to be connected into one body, giving it an indestructible aura.

"It seems that things are not peaceful here in Shangyang City."

An idea came to my mind.

The city gate has arrived.

It was very lively outside the city.

The flow of people entering the city is sparse.

Most of them were monks, and there were a few warriors who were full of evil spirits and looked like they were not easy to mess with.

But these warriors follow the immortal cultivators instead, similar to the existence of guard slaves.

Immortal cultivators are naturally in tune with spiritual energy and exchange frequently with the spiritual energy around them, as naturally as breathing.

Although warriors can also use spiritual energy simply, the way they use it is more like plundering, and the interaction with the surrounding spiritual energy is relatively blunt, with a sense of force.

After watching it a lot, it’s easy to tell the difference between the two.

This was also the reason why Yu Xian was unwilling to take action casually in the mortal world. If he met his peers, his identity as an immortal cultivator would be exposed.

Of course, now that he has mastered the Qi Condensation Technique, if Master Jin Dan doesn't take action, he will only let others see what they should see.

The city gate official was a middle-aged male monk in the late stage of Qi training. Seeing that Yu Xian and the other two did not take out the city entry token, he took the initiative to ask:

"Is this your first time in the city?"

"Yes."

"Pay the city fee first, and each person will receive a spiritual stone."

Hearing this, Yu Xian was secretly speechless.

Good guy, one-third of his annual income can actually get him into the city.

No wonder everyone builds their houses outside the city and is unwilling to enter the city.

After entering the city twice, all his wealth was lost.

But he didn't say much. The monk in front of him just now had this price, and he wasn't bullying or targeting them as outsiders.

After handing over the two spiritual stones, the city gate officer turned over his palm and took out two bamboo tablets.

"What are your names?"

"Yi Xian."

"Magnolia."

The two of them answered honestly.

They came here for spiritual practice, they were clean, they didn't steal or rob, so they naturally didn't mind revealing their real names.

"This is your token. You can stay until dark. If you want to continue to stay in the city, you must find a place to live and issue a temporary residence certificate for you.

At night, there will be patrols in the city. Once a monk is found stranded, he will be fined ten times. You should pay attention. "

The city gate official handed the bamboo plaques with their names engraved on them to the two of them and said in a slightly warning tone.

Yu Xian nodded and entered the city with Yu Lan, who was obviously nervous.

Buzz!

The moment we entered the city, there was a breeze blowing in our face.

Just like entering the oasis from the Sea of ​​Death a few days ago, the distinct environment between the two made Yulan directly break through the middle stage of Qi training.

And now Yu Xian feels the same way.

The concentration of spiritual energy in the city is at least 50% higher than outside the city!

You've come to the right place!

Yu Xian was secretly surprised.

Sure enough, you get what you pay for, and Yulan is cultivating here, hoping to gain at least one more point.

Right now.

A man came forward on his own initiative.

"May I ask if this is the first time for these two immortal masters to come to Shangyang City?"

Yu Xian looked at the people who came down, nodded and said:

"good."

The man is about forty years old, with a Chinese-shaped face, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a somewhat fat figure, but he can vaguely see some of his handsomeness when he was young.

Hearing the answer at this moment, his face was full of smile.

"Young Zhou Fan has lived here in Shangyang City for decades and is very familiar with the city. If the Immortal Master wants a guide, I can help you."

Yu Xian said in surprise: "Can you afford a house in the city?"

A trip to the city will give you a spiritual stone, but if you want to spend it in the city, this person is just a mere mortal, but he can actually afford a house in the city.

Zhou Fan’s smile froze and he smiled bitterly:

"Returning to Immortal Master, I have inherited the legacy of my ancestors and have a roof over my head in the city, so I don't have to pay temporary residence fees."

Yu Xian suddenly understood and asked, "Okay, I do need a guide. What price do you want?"

Zhou Fan looked overjoyed and quickly replied: "I only need three taels of spiritual sand a day."

"Fellow Taoist, I only need three taels of spiritual sand. There are some places in this city that you can't enter without cultivation."

A Qi Refining monk who had been observing for a long time suddenly spoke up.

Yu Xian did not answer, but asked Zhou Fan: "I plan to buy an apartment in the city, can you do it?"

"Can."

Zhou Fan hesitated slightly, then nodded heavily.

"Fellow Taoist, I can also introduce you to a house."

The monk behind him was still working hard.

Seeing that Yu Xian did not look back, the monk spat and whispered:

"Made, if you are lucky, this person named Zhou will be able to survive for a few more days."

Zhou Fan explained while leading the way.

"It made the Immortal Master laugh. That person has always wanted to buy a house from a small family, and he has been very hard pressed recently."

Yu Xian shook his head and said, "I don't care about your business. I pay and you do the work. That's it."

Zhou Fan fell silent immediately.
