Cheng Ling smiled bitterly. The heads of the Famous Sword Academy didn't know what to do for food. The good situation that I had worked so hard to create back then was lost in one fell swoop. Now even the top five academies have to be replaced by others. There is a long road ahead. I really worry about Jian Yinghao and Gu Youlan.
He pondered for a long time and then said: "The situation in the academy is complicated and cannot be changed in a short time. I have called you here this time to prepare for the Alchemy King Valley in one year's time."
"Alchemy King Valley?"
"Yes, for more than a year, body shaping materials have not been found. Perhaps only the Danwang Valley has a glimmer of hope. Not only that, the Danwang Valley is rich in resources, which can enrich the sect's elixir reserves. By the way, the sect is now How is it going?"
Liu Qingyan said: "The sect is developing very well. Over at the Jiange, Wu Chenlong is watching, and the disciples in the war hall are steadily improving. In just a few years, they will become a powerful force."
"Liu Wenlin of Canglang Sea Trade Road presided over it very thoughtfully, and with the help of Xie Feng and Eunuch Hai, the northern sea area has gradually returned to its previous prosperity. You asked someone to send the news that Xie Feng was in the Wuxiang Sword Sect at the time. You know After the situation on your side, come with us. But on the way here, he said that he had something to do, so he left temporarily and will come to join us in a few days. "
"The only regret is the Southern Trade Road. Because of the entanglement between the Famous Sword Academy and the Seven Great Strengths, the Southern Trade Road is almost paralyzed. Materials and elixirs cannot circulate at all. Song Yuan has no choice but to return to the sect, but in Luo Ye Hosted in the city.”
Cheng Ling frowned. The Southern Business Road was an important part of his plan to revive the swordsmanship. There are many mountains in the south and extremely rich resources. The territory occupied by Famous Sword Academy and the seven major forces is not far from the Canglang Sea. If it can be opened up, the sea and land can go hand in hand, forming a good cycle.
It's just helpless that Mingjian Academy missed the big situation and was in trouble, which gave the seven major forces a chance to breathe and made it more difficult to open up business routes. It's a pity that there is only one year left for the opening of Danwang Valley, so I can't get away for the time being. Otherwise, I really want to go to the southern area alone with one sword and one person.
He shook his head helplessly and finally said: "Ignore these things for now. Now in Yujing City, my situation is not good, so I can only hide in Xiao Ling'er's courtyard to practice. By the way, I haven't introduced you to her yet, her name is Feng Ling, We all like to call her Xiao Ling'er, she is a friend I met in Yujing City."
Liu Qingyan and others met Xiao Ling'er one by one, and they were officially acquainted. But suddenly there were three more people, and with the evil wind coming later, Xiao Ling'er's small courtyard was probably uninhabitable.
Cheng Ling then asked: "Xiao Ling'er, can you go and find out if there are any houses for sale in Yujing City."
Xiao Ling'er thought for a while, shook her head and said: "There is still no way at the moment. Brother Cheng, there is actually another way, and that is to break into the Tower of Babel!"
"Oh why?"
"There is an area in the north city of Yujing City that is specially set up for the residence of foreign monks. However, in order to live there, several conditions must be met."
"What conditions?"
"The first is to break into the Babel Tower. As long as you can break into the top ten, you can get the right to live in an attic, which is bigger than my courtyard. The second is to participate in the underground arena and win the final victory!"
"Underground arena match?"
"Yes, fighting is prohibited in Yujing City. There are only four arenas on the surface, but underground in the central area, there is a large challenge area. There is a mixture of fish and dragons. Anyone can participate in the competition, as long as they can win the arena competition. Main investor

If you qualify, you can have the right to live in Yujing City for a long time and eventually become an aborigine. "
"At that time, the City Lord's Palace will issue rewards, and you will be able to own a very large courtyard. Of course, these are not free. To accept the rewards from the City Lord's Palace, you must do things for Yujing City. As for the specific affairs, the City Lord's Palace will Allocate it separately!”
Cheng Ling listened for a while and suddenly understood that this was like a retainer in ancient times. It was called an underground arena. In fact, it was a retainer recruited by the Zhao family to serve them. Thinking of this, he immediately refused to participate in the ring competition. This kind of thing, which was tantamount to selling oneself, was really not what he wanted.
It seems that the only option is to try to break into the Tower of Babel! He asked: "What are the rules for breaking into the Tower of Babel?"
"It is very simple to break into the Tower of Babel. As long as the monks are below the Tribulation Stage, they can go there. However, the Tower of Babel has a characteristic, that is, each monk can only break through once in his life. The second time, he will be excluded and unable to enter. .”
Cheng Ling's expression turned bitter. In this way, it would be best to wait until he has reached the perfect state of integration before proceeding. There is no certainty in trying now.
After thinking for a while, he couldn't think of any other way, and said helplessly: "Then it seems we can only live here temporarily, Xiao Ling'er, please trouble you."
Xiao Ling'er said: "Brother Cheng, it's not troublesome. You just arrived in Yujing City and you are not used to it yet. You will get used to it after a long time."
Liu Qingyan smiled calmly and said: "It doesn't matter, we don't need any guest rooms. Cheng Ling, you can just set up a few isolation formations. The feeling of heaven here is stronger than in the east area, so we can speed up the compensation."
Cheng Ling nodded and said: "Xi Yan, in addition to comprehending the way of heaven during this period, you must also study alchemy and strive to reach a higher level. This will be of great benefit to entering the Alchemy King Valley."
Xiyan nodded obediently. Cheng Ling said to Zhang Hu again: "How is your weapon refining level?"
"Master, I have reached the level of a weapon refiner."
"Very good. I have a general outline of weapon refining here. You can study it carefully and strive to reach the master level as soon as possible."
Zhang Hu quickly took it and started to meditate with his legs crossed.
Xiao Ling'er glanced at him enviously, her lips moved, and finally she couldn't help but knelt down and said to Cheng Ling: "Brother Cheng, please accept me as your disciple!"
Cheng Ling took a deep look at her and said calmly: "If you can reach the perfection of Nascent Soul within a year, I will accept you as my disciple!"
Xiao Ling'er was overjoyed and didn't care about his conditions at all. She just kowtowed and prostrated: "Disciple, pay homage to master!"
Zhang Hu grinned widely and laughed. Now, in addition to Jiang Daoqi, he had another junior sister.
Cheng Ling smiled slightly and acquiesced.
Everyone was happy. Xiao Ling'er had just become Cheng Ling's disciple, so she naturally rushed to show off, cleared out the wing upstairs, and respectfully invited the two master ladies to move in. She herself and Zhang Hu built a temporary shade tent next to the fire phoenix tree and started practicing like this.
Cheng Ling smiled bitterly, but he couldn't deny her good intentions, so he could only acquiesce. I thought to myself that I must find a way to find a place to stay in the city in the future.
After settling in, Cheng Ling first taught those elixir recipes to Xiyan and told her to work hard to improve and strive to reach the level of a seventh-level master before the Alchemy King Valley opens. Then he came to Liu Qingyan's room and had to discuss some things with her.
As soon as he entered the guest room, he took out the Phantom Feather Clothes like a treasure.
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
Yan's eyes widened, and he was instantly shocked by Phantom Yuyi's appearance.
Cheng Ling chuckled and said, "Qing Yan, I spent a lot of effort to get this. I finally got the wedding dress I promised you before. Do you like it?"
Liu Qingyan's eyes were moist and she said, "I like it! How many pieces did you get?"
"Just this one thing cost me ten billion spiritual stones."
"What should Xiyan and the others do? There are also body shaping materials, have you found them?"
Cheng Ling smiled bitterly and shook his head, then told what happened at the auction. After finishing speaking, he smiled bitterly and said: "As soon as I came to Yujing City, I didn't expect to get into so much trouble. Therefore, during this period of time, I stayed in the courtyard, studying the alchemy and improving my cultivation."
Liu Qingyan frowned and said, "It's not an option if we continue like this. It's very difficult to improve behind closed doors."
"I understand this. Recently, I have also discovered that the improvement of cultivation level has become slower. I originally wanted to break through to the late stage of integration and then go out to find out the news about body shaping materials. However, after such a long time, I can only barely reach the mid-stage peak from the mid-stage."
Liu Qingyan said: "There is no way around this. The combat power of monks with multiple spiritual roots is extremely strong. Unfortunately, the speed of improvement in cultivation is much slower than that of single spiritual roots. They can only rely on hard work or heavenly materials and earthly treasures to assist cultivation. Yes. Okay, just now you said that there is also a secret cultivation realm in Yujing City?"
"Yes, the North City is a secret realm that can help improve your cultivation, the West City is a sword tower to assist in swordsmanship training, and the South City is a void secret realm that can help improve your artistic conception."
"Okay, then I'll go to Beicheng and Nancheng tomorrow to have a look."
An idea flashed in Cheng Ling's mind. Liu Qingyan's identity was different from his own. The major forces didn't know each other at all. Her presence would be more helpful for opening up business routes in Yujing City. Tomorrow, I can let Xiao Ling'er accompany me and go take a look together.
After all, Xiao Ling'er's cultivation level is not high. Although she is familiar with the situation in Yujing City, she seems to be slightly inadequate when it comes to the alchemy shop and the material shop. It would be different if Liu Qingyan was accompanying him. It would be better to add Xiyan, who happens to know the way of alchemy.
Thinking of this, he told her his thoughts.
Liu Qingyan happily agreed, and the two lingered in the guest room for a while before Cheng Ling left to continue practicing.
The next day, Xiao Ling'er took the two mistresses to wander around Yujing City. By the way, they checked to see if there were any mansions for transfer. There were many people coming later, and they couldn't always be crowded in Xiao Ling'er's house. It was really inconvenient. .
Cheng Ling continued to practice in the courtyard. Zhang Hu couldn't bear the loneliness. It was the first time he came to such a large city. It was quite new, so he talked to Cheng Ling and went out to play.
One day later, Liu Qingyan and others turned around, but Zhang Hu did not come back. Xi Yan was worried in her heart and asked, "Why is Zhang Hu so ignorant? There are dragons and snakes in Jade City. We are not familiar with the situation and are alone outside. What should we do if something unexpected happens?"
Cheng Ling waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, fighting is prohibited in Yujing City. Besides, that kid is coming to Yujing City for the first time, so let him play for a few days!"
"But I'm just worried about him leaving Yujing City. When Xiao Ling'er came to greet us before, he met a few people with bad faces who wanted to do us harm."
Cheng Ling's face darkened and he asked, "Are they Brother Bao and the others?"
Xiao Ling'er shook her head and said, "It's not Brother Bao, and I don't know them either."
Cheng Ling frowned. He was not from the Qingzhu Gang, but the old man from Wanbao Pavilion. Things were getting more and more troublesome!
