Mingyuefang is indeed different from the gathering place or Jinxiufang.
In other words, the soil of the Immortal Cultivation World in the Eastern Territory may be more favorable and orderly than that in the Southern Territory.
If we talk about the lower-level immortal world in the Southern Territory, it is more about fireworks and various cruel realities.
Then the lower-level immortal cultivation world in the Eastern Region at least has more immortality and seems less cruel.
Even mortals can farm and be self-sufficient here. Although their lives are not as good as those of monks, there are few monks who kill mortals indiscriminately.
Of course, it is also possible that the place where Chen Dengming lived before was the border of the Southern Territory, and it was once the territory of the Yin Gui Sect with a bad reputation. There was also a great and upright immortal cultivating family like the Lin family. They expelled monsters and deliberately harmed people, and the environment for cultivating immortals was harsh. Cruelty is normal.
The situation in other fertile lands in the Southern Territory may be similar to that in the Eastern Territory.
Chen Dengming spent a piece of low-grade spiritual stone and rented it for three nights in an inn in Mingyuefang. He was almost moved to tears by the low price.
Once in Jinxiufang, a low-grade spiritual stone could only pay for three nights' overnight stay. You had to find an uninhabited bridge hole or a street corner to make do with one night.
Here at Mingyuefang, monks can come and go freely.
Although wandering monks are not allowed to sleep on the ground on the streets at night, as it may affect the appearance of the city, it is actually okay for some people to sleep secretly in corners without being seen by the Ming family patrolmen.
Chen Dengming now has a deep pocket, so he will not find it difficult to sleep on the street, and it is not convenient for him to dance and practice with the little array spirit.
After staying at the Mingyuefang Inn for three days, he couldn't help but have the idea of staying in this relatively peaceful city and practicing slowly.
As soon as this idea was born, it was like weeds growing and sprouting in my heart.
It is rare to have a peaceful cultivation environment, and there are enough cultivation resources. There is no need to worry about how to make money and work hard for cultivation. Chen Dengming really doesn't want to be bumpy anymore.
These days of fighting and killing, for someone like him who never dares to fight bravely, he actually feels quite tired.
"It's time to calm down and practice slowly for a while. I made an appointment with Qiangzi to meet in Juelin City.
But now we have taken a sidetrack and come to Mingyuefang, which is still thousands of miles away from Juelin City. It’s better to go there and take a look when you have free time in the future. The spiritual stone I gave Qiangzi should be enough for him. "
Chen Dengming thought about it in his mind, and then felt a little ashamed.
"I'm sorry Qiangzi, brother, I will stay here for half a year, and then I will go look for you... You have excellent escape skills and are clever. You should be able to take care of yourself."
After this inner confession, he felt much better.
Now he carries enough spirit stones, and there will be no shortage of cultivation resources for at least half a year, which is enough to support his cultivation in Mingyuefang for a long time.
At this time, it is not impossible to continue to go deeper into the Eastern Territory and search for the Immortal Sect.
But for the time being, there seems to be no rush on this matter.
With the current speed of cultivation, even if the technique is not good, he still has a high-grade spiritual root qualification. Half a year is enough for him to reach the ninth level of Qi training, which is close to the tenth level of Qi training.
By then you will be stronger, and even if something happens on the way, you will have more confidence and strength to cope with it.
On that day, Chen Dengming spent three low-grade spiritual stones to buy a breath-collecting bead in Fang City.
This bead is used to deliberately restrain the spiritual power and suppress the evil aura of the body, so as to avoid being incompatible with the peaceful aura in the city, making people instinctively guard against rejection, and causing them to be slaughtered when buying things.
Later, he went to Mingyuefang's manager who was responsible for renting houses and asked about the price of long-term rental accommodation in the city.
The soldiers and horses have not moved, but the food and grass go first.
Before practicing behind closed doors, you must first take care of your food, clothing, housing, and transportation, so that you can be in an orderly manner.
"The single room is in the South District. The rent is five low-grade spiritual stones per month, and the rent starts from half a year."
"It depends on what kind of house you want. A small, remote house in the North District can be rented for ten low-grade spiritual stones per month, starting from half a year.
A second-entry house with a better location and a larger size costs 30 yuan of low-grade spiritual stones per month, and the rent starts from half a year."
The rental manager looked Chen Dengming up and down, and when he saw that he was wearing a high-level robe, he immediately said patiently with a smile.
"Seeing that fellow Taoist looks dignified and impressive, you probably want to rent a big house, right? A big house is closer to the first-level spiritual veins of the Ming family, and has more spiritual energy. It is understandable that it will cost more."
"Thirty yuan of low-grade spiritual stones per month for the big house is too expensive."
Chen Dengming originally thought that he had a relatively deep pocket, but he shrank a little when he heard the price, and immediately asked about the difference in spiritual energy concentration between large houses and small houses.
In the end, I chose to rent a small house in a remote location.
Regardless of whether the houses are large or small, they are all in the same city.
The big house is close to the first-level spiritual energy. At most, the spiritual energy is about 10 to 20% stronger than that of the small house. However, the price is three times more expensive, which is unnecessary.
If it were a place like Jinxiufang that he had been familiar with for a long time, he would be willing to spend thirty yuan of low-grade spiritual stones to rent a large house to live.
Without him, after using the Soul Seizing Array, he could also call some monks to practice in his yard and charge some fees as a subsidy.
Now that he is unfamiliar with the place, this business cannot be done. He dares to invite others to his door, but others dare not come to his door to practice.
After choosing a place to live, paying half a year's rent and a total of sixty low-grade spiritual stones, the smile on the steward's face became much more sincere.
He immediately called a sweet-talking and sensible female cultivator to take Chen Dengming to see the house.
"Is this Taoist brother just coming to our Mingyuefang? He rented a residence so generously for half a year when he first came here. It seems that the Taoist brother is very satisfied with the environment of our Mingyuefang."
On the way, the female cultivator smiled and said.
She was wearing a light purple dress, with delicate eyebrows, beautiful appearance, and jade-like skin. Her tone of voice was very soft and sweet, and she also had a fragrance about her that was not offensive.
Chen Dengming smiled and said, "Mingyuefang is really good. I stayed here for a few days and I feel that it is very safe and a suitable place to live and practice."
"oh?"
The female cultivator glanced at Chen Dengming with a smile. She held back her curiosity and did not ask about the origin. She changed the subject and said with a smile, "Brother Taoist, you can rest assured. Our Mingyuefang belongs to the Ming family. The Ming family has always been about being harmonious and making money. We also care about the market." We take it very seriously, and there are several groups of Ming family monks patrolling every day, so no one will cause trouble in the square.
Moreover, the Ming family has long offered large bounties for killing nearby monsters and provided information. The monks who successfully hunted and killed the monsters could also receive a hefty bounty.
As a result, there will be very few monster attacks around Fang City."
"Oh? That's not bad."
Chen Dengming smiled and nodded politely. He didn't comment much, and didn't ask about the reward for hunting monsters. He just wrote it down secretly.
When you first come here, others may pay attention to what you say to others: 30% true and 70% false.
He pays attention to talking less, listening more and seeing more. He just wants to speak more about right and wrong. If he talks too much, he will miss the point and can teach people to guess his depth.
The female cultivator was obviously a smart and talkative person. Without further words, she took Chen Dengming to a remote construction area near Taolin.
There are many small houses built here, all built around peach groves and mountain walls, with a quiet environment.
Chen Dengming chose a secluded courtyard.
The female cultivator made a brief introduction, and after Chen Dengming expressed satisfaction, she left the simple formation formation badge and left with a smile.
"Tao, fellow Taoist, this house is quite nice. It's bigger than an inn room. The space for dancing is also larger, and I feel more comfortable."
In the house, a small array spirit floated out of the array, its skirt danced lightly, its graceful figure was looming, and it was dancing happily in the room.
"I feel uncomfortable with so much dust. Fortunately, since time travel, my old rhinitis problem is gone."
Chen Dengming looked at the dusty furnishings all over the house. He could leave clear footprints even if he stepped on them. He shook his head, found the array disk in the room, embedded a spirit stone in a nearby slot, and then used his hand to control the array in the room. Waist tag, start cleaning.
The array that comes with the house has four functions: simple protection, concealment, cleaning, and sound insulation. It provides comprehensive services and saves Chen Dengming from buying cleaning talismans.
However, this kind of magic that is necessary for life still needs to be learned. Chen Dengming has planned to learn it after buying it in the market.
That night.
In the brand new and comfortable new house, Chen Dengming cooked several bowls of fragrant spiritual rice with the boiled demon beast broth.
The little formation spirit floated in front of the table, laying its head on the table, staring at the fragrant spirit rice with its beautiful eyes like clear water, making her salivate.
Since she was transformed into an array spirit, she has become a spirit body. She can only watch but cannot eat the delicacies she had during her lifetime.
This is a painful thing for a woman like her who has a talent for food.
Seeing the pitiful appearance of Xiao Zhenling, Chen Dengming could only offer words of comfort.
After becoming a Nascent Soul monster in the future, he will definitely find a way to recast his physical body and reincarnate himself as a human being from the spirit.
This kind of empty promise was made by Chen Dengming without even frowning, but it stirred up the spirit of the formation. That night, he showed off his special skills and worked even harder to help Chen Dengming practice. He jumped out of many new postures and tricks, which greatly improved Chen Dengming's practice efficiency. Instead of increasing, it decreased, and some couldn't bear the excessive enthusiasm of the little formation spirit.
Early the next morning.
Chen Dengming wore a green shirt robe on top of his high-level robe to avoid being too conspicuous and making others jealous.
Then he washed up, yawned and went out. He felt that he was too tired from fighting with others. As a result, it was rare for him to calm down and practice for a night, and he actually felt very tired.
Fortunately, he is self-disciplined enough.
Even though I was tired, I still completed a complete practice.
Now the Three-Yuan Spirit Gathering Technique has completed two-fifths of the progress of the sixth level.
If he continues to practice for another month, he will be able to break through to the seventh level of Qi training.
"New neighbor?"
At this time, in the courtyard dozens of meters away, a middle-aged monk with a goatee looked at Chen Dengming and said hello.
Chen Dengming looked back, smiled and clasped his fists, "Yes! I moved here yesterday, and my fellow Taoist also lives here permanently? Please take good care of me in the future."
The middle-aged monk nodded slightly, seeing that Chen Dengming was ordinary, his clothes were ordinary, his accent was weird, he obviously came from some corner, and his breath was weak, he knew it immediately.
He held his fist and said, "It's easy to talk. My name is Zhu Xun. I make a living by hunting monsters here in Mingyuefang. I often sell some monster meat. If you need monster meat in the future, fellow Taoist, just ask and I will give you a neighbor discount." "
Chen Deng said "oh haha" and immediately bowed and thanked him. Businessman praised him and said with a smile, "I wish Brother Dao has strength, the monster is very ferocious. Xiao Chen always walks around when he sees it. I wish Brother Dao will sell meat in the future, and I will definitely support him." "
"Haha, that's not necessary. I have a lot of customers. If you need it, buy it. You don't need it and there is no need to support it."
Being praised, Zhu Xun also had a smile on his face. He felt that the neighbor next door was a bit timid, but he was very good at things and easy to get along with, which made him feel happy.
After watching his neighbor Zhu Xun leave, Chen Dengming withdrew his gaze and made some judgment about the opponent's strength in his heart.
"Qi Sensing should be around the fifth level of Qi training. He is already a powerful figure among casual cultivators. The Ming family recruits guest ministers from outside. With this standard, no wonder he dares to hunt monsters."
Chen Dengming thought to himself, but he was not interested in hunting monster beasts for the time being.
He hasn't fully figured out the situation in Mingyuefang yet.
It's hard to say how strong the surrounding monsters are, but training and actual combat can be done first. I've been sick from fighting recently.
Moreover, there is currently no war about to happen, and there is no external threat. The most urgent task is to stay together and improve our strength.
He Shi Shiran went out and bought a cleaning technique at the bustling Fangshi Trading Place. He also learned about the prices of other commodities, and then spent five low-grade spiritual stones to purchase some medium-grade spiritual rice and vegetables. , enough to last a month.
After returning to the house, Chen Dengming officially closed himself up and began to practice hard.
A month passed in such a blink of an eye.
He broke through to the seventh level of Qi training without any trouble, and entered the ranks of high-level Qi training monks.
Once you reach this level, even if you go to some immortal cultivating families like the Luo family and the Zhu family, you can be treated as a distinguished guest, be treated as a high-level worshiper, receive a generous salary, and enjoy good resources.
However, this can still only be regarded as a high-level thug.
Immortal cultivating families do not raise idlers.
When he first came to the world of immortality, what Chen Dengming longed for most was to become a monk.
After becoming a monk, what I longed for most was to quickly become stronger and become a high-level Qi-training monk.
But now, after truly becoming a high-level qi-training monk, he suddenly felt that there didn't seem to be any big surprises.
I don't know because I personally killed a monk who was at the seventh level of Qi training.
Or because he had fought against such monks several times.
Now that he has stepped into this realm of strength, he actually feels it is natural and is not too excited.
"I'm swollen, I'm really swollen.
I am now a high-level Qi practitioner, so I must be a little proud. How can I not be excited at all? "
Chen Dengming released his spiritual power in front of the mirror in the room, showing a terrifying expression, and forced himself to be excited for a moment.
In the end it was boring.
Just like that, I made a breakthrough, and I wasn’t as excited as watching Xiao Zhenling dance.
Maybe he practiced diligently every day and put in enough sweat, so he was not surprised at all by this result.
But this kind of mentality is wrong and will lead to a lack of enthusiasm for cultivation and laziness in the future.
Chen Dengming reflected secretly, I examine myself three times a day.
During this month of retreat, he has practiced the art of turning dryness into glory to the entry level, and the art of diamond shield to the master level.
The successive breakthroughs in strength and Taoism also directly increased his lifespan to 367 years, leaving him with 129 years left to live.
129 years, which is one thousand five hundred and forty-eight months.
A mere month of training time is nothing.
"Continue to practice until the rent is due, and then you have to leave."
…
In the evening, Chen Dengming went out again and bought another batch of spiritual rice and vegetables from the Lingmi store in Fangshi.
When I came back, I happened to meet my neighbor Zhu Xun, a meat-selling monk, selling meat nearby.
He immediately spent five low-grade spiritual stones and purchased dozens of kilograms of monster meat at once.
"The temperature is getting higher and higher now. If you buy meat, you must keep it well and don't let it go bad."
Chen Dengming bought dozens of kilograms of meat at one time, and Zhu Xun, his neighbor, was obviously in a good mood, and reminded him with a smile, "This is fourth level Qi training monster meat, and it would be difficult for me and a companion to hunt it.
You only eat meat and have never hunted. You don’t know how difficult it is to hunt monsters. Don’t waste it. I once hunted a hyena monster, and it tasted like, tsk, the dog meat rolled three times, and the deity couldn't stand still. Unfortunately, part of it was damaged before it was sold out."
"Thank you, Brother Zhu Dao, for reminding me. I cherish this meat."
Chen Dengming responded politely with a smile.
Zhu Xun waved his hands and didn't react until Chen Dengming left, thinking strangely.
"It seems like I haven't seen my neighbor for a month. The house is always open and she lives in seclusion every day. How does she make a living? It's quite mysterious."
After carrying dozens of kilograms of meat back to the house, Chen Denming cut off a piece.
The others were frozen with the Ice Spirit Sword to activate the sword energy.
He ate too much hyena meat at the fourth level of Qi training, and his teeth were a little stuffed.
He doesn't even notice how dog meat rolls around and gods can't stand still.
Fortunately, what Zhu Xun hunted was a kind of monster meat similar to wild boar.
He selected a piece of tender meat from the back of the neck, which should taste better than hyena meat.
Now that his food, clothing, housing and transportation were all ready again, he had to work hard and retreat to the eighth level of Qi training before he would leave the retreat.
At the current speed of practicing the formation, he can practice the Three-Yuan Spirit Gathering Technique with 14 points of proficiency every day.
Calculating the time, it only takes about two months to achieve a breakthrough.
This feeling of having a comfortable environment, cultivating in a stable state, and experiencing an increase in strength like flying is really a great feeling.
In the past, it was unthinkable to live in such a bird-feather place on the border of the Southern Territory.
Chen Dengming enjoyed it and no longer thought about Shu. Now he was in a situation where he could not afford to have enough food and clothing for a hundred years. There is no point in fighting with others, the only way to live forever is to laugh and be romantic.
However, he was chatting and laughing, but on the other side, the situation in the Luo family had taken a turn for the worse in the past month, and it was really miserable.
Fortunately, just the day before yesterday, Miss Luo Bing used the foundation-building pill obtained from the Luo family's husband-in-law to break and then establish, and successfully entered the foundation-building stage, giving the Luo family one more point at the critical moment. Breathing opportunity, new choices
