At noon on the ninth day.
Black Rock City is already in sight.
It was an immortal city wrapped around a mountainside.
When he was still more than ten miles away from Black Rock City, Chen Ping unloaded his sword, landed on the ground, and put away his flying sword.
He swallowed a Heqi Pill and waited for his spiritual power to recover to 90% before continuing to Black Rock City.
The entire Black Rock City is built of a black boulder, with natural cliffs as the base and built around mountains. Like a black dragon, it winds and crouches on the mountainside.
The city walls are majestic and majestic, and the stone cliffs stand tall.
It looks very majestic from a distance.
When Chen Ping approached Black Rock City, he followed the flow of people and entered Black Rock City casually. No one checked, no paperwork was required, and there was no link to purchase an identity token.
No identity registration is required.
After entering the city, I discovered that the decoration of Black Rock City is very special, or it has local characteristics. Various animal head skeletons are hung on the walls of houses and streets, painted with special patterns.
Many streets and houses have peeling gravel, potholes and jagged rocks.
'There must have been a lot of fighting here. There are traces of fighting everywhere. ,
Chen Ping remained vigilant.
When I entered Central Street, I found that it was extremely lively and the flow of people was very large.
The biggest intuition is just——
——There are a lot of foundation building.
Just walking more than 20 meters, I met three foundation-building monks.
Among the shops, medicinal material shops and elixir shops are the most numerous, with one shop every few hundred meters.
There are as many milk tea shops in the pedestrian streets of big cities in the world.
Most shop plaques have the same logo - 'Black Rock Gate'.
Chen Ping consulted several people and found the largest inn in the city.
"Are you new to Black Rock, fellow Taoist? It's a good idea to stay in our hotel. Our hotel not only has large rooms, but also comes with optional medicinal baths and dedicated staff to take baths. Each room is equipped with independent soundproof arrays and defense arrays, which are safe and reliable. No one knows what sound the fellow Taoist makes in the guest room. Moreover, there is a stage for the dancer to show off her dancing skills in the backyard of our store. There will be a performance recently, and the guests are very lucky." The shopkeeper said the last word, with a hint of meaning on his face. He smiled deeply, but then returned to seriousness.
Chen Ping didn't know what he was laughing at. He felt baffled and said expressionlessly:
"Let's book a room."
Not for anything else, just because this store is the largest inn.
One medium-grade spiritual stone per room per night is really expensive.
But there is a reason why it is expensive.
This inn is owned by Black Rock Gate. There are formations in the guest rooms, and there are two late-stage foundation-building formations in the inn, so safety is guaranteed.
When you are away from home in an unfamiliar place, safety is the most important thing.
Chen Ping made a reservation for one night.
"Fellow Taoist, are you here for a little training?"
The waiter asked Chen Ping cautiously as he led him to the guest room. Seeing Chen Ping's vigilance, he immediately bent down slightly and said respectfully:
"Fellow Taoist, there is no need to worry. Nine out of ten of the foundation-building monks who come to Black Rock City are here for body training. The younger one is just guessing."
Chen Ping thought about the boy in the inn. He must have seen many body-refining monks and must know something about body-refining. He took the opportunity and asked:
"How much do you know about Little Body Refining?"
The boy grinned:
"I have been working here for more than ten years and have seen thousands of body-training monks staying in the hotel, so I know a little bit about them."
Stopped here.
Chen Ping understood what he meant and gave him two low-grade spiritual stones:
"Please help me clarify my doubts, little friend."
The boy's eyes suddenly lit up, he put the spirit stone into his sleeve, and his posture became more respectful:
"Fellow Taoist, please ask and tell me everything you know."
"..."
Black Rock City is under the jurisdiction of Black Rock Gate.
There are more than 10,000 people in the city, most of them are monks. There are some foundation-building monks.
Hundreds of people.
As for how much exactly?
It is unknown.
Because the casual cultivators here are very mobile, most foundation-building casual cultivators only use this place as a temporary habitat, staying for a few years and then leaving.
Except for traders, few are more than 5 years old.
It is precisely because of the high mobility that it is very difficult to govern, and there are frequent battles among casual cultivators. Many times, Black Rock Sect just turns a blind eye and closes one eye.
Even demon cultivators.
I can actually coexist with everyone here.
As long as you don't blatantly advertise that you are a demon cultivator everywhere, that's fine.
This is something Chen Ping never dared to think about before.
Of course, what he was most concerned about was the common sense related to the Little Body Refining.
Small body training requires three conditions.
One is the flowing clouds and green mountains and rocks.
The second is, the second level spiritual land.
The third one is body refining.
Liuyun Cuishan Stone is a unique ore in the Western Barbarian Region and is used to speed up the practice of physical skills.
The second-level spiritual land is a necessary condition for breaking through the minor body refining. In other words, the richer the spiritual energy, the easier it is to achieve the minor body refining.
Of course, this aura must be a special aura generated by the combination of the blood vine tree and the flowing cloud green mountain stone. In the Western Wilderness region, only the Western Barbarian Region has it.
Black Rock Gate can provide second-level spiritual land and even third-level spiritual land pool.
But it is not free, but like the Lingxiao Sect, you must become a guest or disciple of the Black Rock Sect and serve the Black Rock Sect for several years.
Otherwise, you can only find a high-level spiritual land.
As for practicing physical skills, there is no threshold for it, you can buy it with flower spirit stones.
"How many Flowing Cloud Green Mountain Stones are needed for one foundation building and body refining?" Chen Ping asked.
The boy said enthusiastically:
"How long does it take for fellow Taoists to achieve small body training? Some monks can't do small body training in their entire life, and some talented monks can do it in a few months. It cannot be generalized. Generally speaking, it usually takes a year of uninterrupted body training. 1,000 pounds."
hiss.
Chen Ping couldn't help but take a breath.
This is really not a small amount.
Asked again:
"Except for the second-level spiritual land that Black Rock Gate possesses. Where else can we find such a blessed land?"
"This is simple. Fellow Taoist, you only need to go to the body-refining shop and ask. There are ready-made atlases there. Just click on the pictures to find out. After all, I have never been there, so I won't say much." The boy was respectful.
"..."
"Do you have anything else to ask, fellow Taoist?"
So, Chen Ping asked again about the time of the stick of incense. I focused on asking some details and doubts, and silently kept the boy's words in mind.
"..."
"Fellow Taoist...if you have anything else to ask, it's okay to ask." Out of professional ethics, the young man asked further.
After asking for an hour, he didn't think Chen Ping still had any problems.
Chen Ping smiled:
"Then you're welcome. I do have some questions."
When I first arrived, there were indeed many problems.
"Fortunately, this guy is more enthusiastic."... Chen Ping thought to himself.
Boy: ...This spiritual stone is hot to touch!
Finally, I asked where the market was and whether anyone collected monster meat.
"Did you hunt some monsters on the way here, fellow Taoist?" The boy smiled, then realized that he shouldn't ask more, and said quickly:
"Don't be surprised, fellow Taoist, monks come to Black Rock City from time to time. Most of them come on long journeys. They will inevitably hunt some monsters along the way, which can be regarded as a profit. Not only monsters, many monks also pick them. Some spiritual materials. Whether they are spiritual materials or monsters, there are special shops here to recycle them."
"..."
"Fellow Taoist, can you still..., ah, it's nothing, it's getting late. Fellow Taoist, take your leave."
"Little friend,..."
Chen Ping said, "Thank you very much." Before he could say these two words, the boy had already disappeared.
After the boy left, Chen Ping closed the door and checked
Exit guest room.
I have to say, the decoration is really luxurious.
Worthy of the status of building a foundation.
What's more important is that there are independent soundproof arrays and defensive arrays. This is probably the real reason why one needs a medium-grade spiritual stone in one night.
Formations are often not cheap.
Chen Ping arranged early warning measures as usual and looked at the sky outside.
It's obviously still early.
What do you mean it's getting late?
This guy’s eyesight is not very good!
