Immortals and mortals seem to be worlds apart, but in many cases there is no clear definition between the two. Although many immortal cultivators claim to be extraordinary, it is difficult to truly break away from mortals. In addition, the so-called world of immortal cultivators is different from the human world. To the extent that there is no difference, the relationship is even more vaguely defined.
It is just because of the old routine that immortal cultivators do not appear in front of others, it is rare to see immortal cultivators. Some people even do not know the existence of immortal cultivators, and they are naturally shocked when they see them at first sight.
But in fact, in slightly more prosperous cities, there are not many immortal cultivators. They walk on the same streets and live in the same inns as ordinary people. It’s just that ordinary people don’t know it. In some cities, they even become It has become a fixed place for immortal cultivators to gather and provide accommodation for them. It has become a place for them to exchange news and items and exchange what they need.
As the Ghost Sect moves south, the world of immortality has been turbulent in the past few years. The overt and covert struggles in the world of immortality have become increasingly clear. Those incredible abilities in the eyes of mortals, such as flying into the sky and escaping from the earth, and overwhelming mountains and seas, can be seen from time to time. High-ranking immortal masters can be seen everywhere. It can be seen that I walk on the same street and stay in the same inn as them, but sometimes I have to fly around.
As soon as the ghost appears, it is the time when a group of immortal cultivators show their magical powers. Those ordinary people have gone from being shocked at the beginning to feeling relieved, and now they are numb and natural. Time is sometimes a powerful tool to change people, and immortal cultivators are also human beings. , after this period of having to deal with mortals and coexist harmoniously, more and more people seem to be aware of this.
To a certain extent, this should be considered a good thing. Without those immortal cultivators who think they are superior and arrogant to boss around ordinary people, the world seems to have become less complicated, but no matter where you go, the treatment of immortals and ordinary people will be different. There are still obvious deviations.
Xuanguang City in Yuzhou is a famous large city located in the east of central Yuzhou.
The reason why it is famous is not because of the extraordinary scenery or special products here, nor because of its economic or power status, but because this city is one of the few large cities chosen by cultivators for them to exchange resources. , intelligence, etc. The difference from other cities is that this city is almost full of immortal cultivators, and even a random person on the road may possess a cultivation level. Compared with this, ordinary people are rare and rare. few.
Few does not mean none, but ordinary people do not have much status here, and the difference between immortals and mortals is much more obvious than in other places.
After several days of traveling, Gu Chen arrived at Xuanguang City and stayed at the largest inn.
The Juxian Building is just as its name suggests. Almost all the people here are immortal cultivators.
Gu Chen walked in.
"Do you want to be a guest or stay in the hotel?" The waiter came up to meet him, glanced at the Lan Jian behind Gu Chen, flashed a look of contempt, and said with a slight smile, "This store does not accept human money."
The trade between immortal cultivators is no longer about mundane things such as gold and silver in the world, but treasures containing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. However, the values of treasures vary, and bartering is sometimes difficult to achieve perfection, so a unified trade is needed. Unit, this unit is Hunyuan Pearl.
Hunyuan beads are actually a kind of treasure, which are treasures refined by cultivators themselves. Each Hunyuan bead is only the size of a fingernail, has uniform specifications, and contains pure energy. It is widely used in cultivation, weapon refining, and elixir refining. The various elements are the hard currency of the world of immortality, and a Hunyuan Pearl is a unit of measurement.
What the waiter said was a subtle reminder to Gu Chen that only immortal cultivators can stay in the Juxian Tower. Of course, there are exceptions. If a mortal wants to stay, he can, but he must have the Hunyuan Pearl.
Gu Chen released his energy for a little bit, and the waiter in the shop felt his skin tingling. He was shocked by the cultivation of the young man in front of him, and immediately put on a smile and asked Gu Chen to sit down.
Gu Chen said: "Arrange a room for me and bring me a pot of tea."
"Okay, right away."
Gu Chen shook his head gently. No matter where he is, the phenomenon of judging people by their appearance always exists. Just because he carries a long sword on his back, he is not treated as an immortal cultivator. The waiter's vision is still a bit narrow.
However, the waiter in the shop was very nimble. He brought a pot of tea and a notebook at the same time and said: "Sir, the shop has upper, middle and lower rooms. The upper room requires nine Hunyuan beads a day." , the middle-class room requires six Hunyuan beads a day, and the lower-class room requires three Hunyuan beads a day, but this lower-class room is on the edge of the spirit-gathering circle, the spirit-gathering effect is average, and the partition effect is not very good, Guest Officer Do you see it?"
Gu Chen said: "A lower-class room."
The waiter's attitude was no longer so enthusiastic. He scratched a note in the book and asked, "How many days do you want to stay?"
Gu Chen took out three Hunyuan beads and handed them over, saying, "Give them one day at a time."
"Okay." The waiter collected the Hunyuan Pearl and left without saying anything more.
Juxian Tower mainly deals with the business of cultivators, and cultivators come here mainly for transactions, whether treasures or information. They have almost no need for food and drink. They can usually spend it with a pot of tea and a pot of wine, of course. Lingcha and Lingjiu are not ordinary things but they are also common. Immortal cultivators who travel outside always take convenience and usually only take bigu pills. Therefore, no matter how many guests there are in Juxian Tower, it will not be very busy. They are just opening a restaurant to do business, of course. I hope I can earn a little more, and the generosity of the money I spend from customers can be more or less determined by the person, but I'm not very sure.
The waiter in the store came back with the three Hunyuan Beads, with a bored look on his face, and chatted with another waiter, saying: "Learn like a mortal man carrying a sword, and you can't live in the store without working."
Another waiter smiled and said: "What's the point of being angry? There are a lot of customers like this. If there is business, just take it. Anyway, there are so many customers recently, so there is no need to worry about not being able to do business."
Thinking about it, the waiter in the shop was about to put away the three Hunyuan Pearls given by Gu Chen, but suddenly he looked at them carefully. Seeing this, the companion beside him asked curiously: "What's wrong?"
The waiter asked: "Why do these three Hunyuan beads have black lines?"
"What's this? What can be put into the Hunyuan Pearl is pure Yuanli, which has endless uses. However, the Yuanli of immortal cultivators also has different attributes. When put into the Hunyuan Pearl, it will have different performances. Metal, wood, water, fire The Yuanli with the five attributes of earth, corresponding to the Hunyuan Pearl, will have five colors of threads: gold, green, blue, red, and comprehensive. In addition, the wind attribute is a crack, the thunder attribute is a rolling electric light, and the demon What you are cultivating is a silver thread, what ghosts are cultivating is..."
At this point, the eyes of the two shop waiters moved slightly, as if they realized something, and they couldn't help but look at Gu Chen.
Is this young man a ghost cultivator?
Ghost cultivators also practice swordsmanship?
"We open a shop and just do business. We don't have to worry about where our customers come from."
"I know, it's just... there seem to be... a lot of ghost cultivator guests recently. This guy also carries a sword, which is... weird."
Gu Chen didn't know that because of the Hunyuan Pearl he was given, he became the topic of discussion between the two waiters in the shop. This topic seemed to be fermented because he was carrying the Lan Sword, but even if he knew, he wouldn't care. These years of experience are not in vain. Yes, the opponents he encountered included ghost cultivators and other immortal cultivators. He had Hunyuan beads with various attributes on him, and there were a lot of them.
Although the Ghost Sect went south, a large number of ghost cultivators appeared in the Central Plains, and there were also ghosts, demons and monsters causing harm to the world. The ghost cultivators were indeed squeezed and suppressed by the major immortal sects, and they could not be considered friendly, but they were not completely hostile.
The Ghost Sect is a sect formed by a large number of ghost cultivators united together, but not all ghost cultivators are members of the Ghost Sect. Before the Ghost Sect went south, there were also ghost cultivators in the Central Plains, but the number was very small, and they had been hiding in In the darkness, they rarely appear in front of people. They are called ghost cultivators only because they practice the techniques of the netherworld, but not all of them are extremely vicious.
But even so, when the relationship between the immortal sects and ghost cultivators in the Central Plains is now on a par with each other, even those cultivators who only practice the techniques of the netherworld and have not done any evil are still in a bad situation. Not to mention the rats on the street, everyone is shouting to beat them. But in fact it is not that far apart, but in a city like this where immortal cultivators gather, ghost cultivators will generally be fine as long as they don't do evil and keep a low profile.
After all, ghost cultivators are also members of immortal cultivators. In the world of immortal cultivators, although there are thoughts of good and evil, there is no distinction between good and evil. Right and wrong are often determined by one's own strength.
