In the Chu country, if Tiannanfang City claims to be the number one city in Chu State, then no city dares to claim the second place.
The Qinghefang City established by the Chaotian Sect is already the first among the Lushan County City, but it is far inferior to Tiannanfang City.
Not on the same level.
The person who sits in charge of Qinghefang City is just a late-stage foundation-building monk from the Chaotian Sect. How can he compare with the Jindan-level Ancestor Jiang.
Moreover, as a gathering place for casual cultivators, if they want to gain a foothold in Tiannanfang City, if they do not have the strength, they will not be able to stay in Tiannanfang City for a long time.
Tiannanfang City was built on a fourth-order mid-grade spiritual vein and was originally the territory of monster beasts.
A big golden elixir demon named 'Cangqing Divine Falcon' occupied this place, with many small demons under his command. It became a forbidden area for humans at that time, and it was famous far and wide.
More than a hundred years ago, Ancestor Jiang came from Qinglihai alone. After his first visit here, he chose this mountain range as a training cave, killed the Cangqing Divine Falcon, and has occupied this fourth-level spiritual vein ever since.
He named it Jiuhan Mountain and established a small Xiuxianfang City to develop the economy.
It was also the fourth-level spiritual vein of Jiuhan Mountain that allowed Fangshi to continuously build various cultivation caves, secret rooms, etc., full of rich spiritual energy in the following more than a hundred years.
If you want to live here, you must pay spiritual stones, and the fee is not low. Ordinary casual cultivators cannot afford it at all, and can only live in some courtyards with thin spiritual energy on the edge of the city.
There is not much difference in the price of other magic weapons, elixirs, and various cultivation resources, and there will be no random quotations.
you get what you pay for.
This is also one of the characteristics of Tiannanfang City. It is fair and just, and children and elders are not bullied.
When Patriarch Jiang accepted and managed these casual cultivators, they were not protected without reason and would pay a certain price.
The most well-known thing is the recruitment order issued by Patriarch Jiang every fifty years.
Because Jiuhan Mountain is located in the westernmost part of Chu State, it borders the Southern Wilderness Forest.
There are countless monsters everywhere in the Southern Wilderness forest. Every fifty years, the leader of the monster beasts in the Southern Wilderness will assign a large number of monsters to invade eastward and flood into the Chu Kingdom.
This resulted in a tide of beasts that occurred every fifty years, also known as the Beast Rebellion.
At this time, as the first line of defense against the beast tide, Ancestor Jiang would recruit casual cultivators in Tiannanfang City to jointly resist the beast tide and curb the beast tide's eastward invasion.
It can be said that having Ancestor Jiang, the Golden Elixir Ancestor, guarding Jiuhan Mountain is like a sea-fixing needle, deterring the edge of the Southern Wilderness Forest, and can contribute a lot to Chu State's resistance to the invasion of the beast tide.
Because of this, Jiang Laozu is also respected by all parties and has high ratings.
This has also made Tiannanfang City famous far and wide, constantly attracting casual cultivators from all over the country to seek refuge. In terms of strength, it is already comparable to an established Jindan Sect.
"Ancestor Jiang, long time no see."
Lu Ping was naturally present at such a sect meeting.
While Lu Yuanshan and the three were talking, Lu Ping was also listening on the side.
He recalled Jiang Laozu.
This person is an old friend of his.
There are only a handful of Jindan Patriarchs in the Chu Kingdom, and Lu Ping has friends with all of them, and among them, he has the best friendship with Patriarch Jiang from Jiuhan Mountain.
Ancestor Jiang is usually aloof and does not establish sect power to the outside world. He only occupies one-third of an acre in Jiuhan Mountain, providing a livable place for practice and trading for scattered cultivators from all over the country. Occasionally, he will select one or two Talented casual cultivators were recruited as disciples.
I haven’t seen him for decades, and I don’t know what his current level of cultivation is. Has he reached the threshold of the Nascent Soul stage?
Are there any descendants?
"How about I go with you to purchase the Foundation Establishment Pill this time."
"Ancestor Jiang and my father had some interactions in the past. I think the friendship will not be too bad. Ancestor Jiang is a fair person and doesn't like intrigues."
"As long as what we bring out can arouse Ancestor Jiang's interest, if appropriate, we still have a chance to exchange it for a Foundation Establishment Pill."
Lu Yuanshan looked serious and decided to lead Lu Changfeng to Jiuhan Mountain.
As the largest city in Chu State, the number of casual cultivators in it has reached thousands. This number of monks is enough to be equivalent to a large sect.
The scale of its monks is comparable to that of Chaotian Sect and Shenxiao Palace Sect.
As casual cultivators have no family or power to protect them, they do everything by themselves and struggle all the way. It is easy for them to develop a self-centered style of doing things.
In terms of combat experience and methods, he is far superior to the monks of his family and sect, and he is definitely not a flower in the greenhouse.
Tiannanfang City is a mixed bag of fish and dragons. Lu Yuanshan himself is a foundation-building monk. He is afraid of being plotted by others when he goes there, and he needs to be cautious.
Not to mention Lu Changfeng, a qi-training monk.
Lu Changfeng had an impatient temper and was easily tricked by others, so Lu Yuanshan was really worried about letting him go alone.
"We must win the Foundation Establishment Pill in Tiannanfang City this time!"
Lu Changfeng was already ready to make a move.
"However, there have been many affairs in the sect recently, and the autumn harvest is approaching. Big brother, you still need to stay and manage the affairs of the sect. Go with me, for fear of delaying the operation of the sect."
Changfeng shook his head and decided to go by himself.
"I can just go by myself. It's not like I haven't traveled far. Regarding winning the Foundation Establishment Pill this time, I will act according to the opportunity and will not mess around."
"You go alone, how can this be done?"
Lu Zhiwei, who had been listening, spoke up, frowned, and said: "The Foundation Establishment Pill is of great importance. Once it is taken, it will easily be coveted by outsiders, triggering a fight. It is too dangerous for you to go alone."
"Little sister, you don't have to worry about this. The use of force is also prohibited in Tiannanfang City. Whoever dares to have his head kicked by a donkey and dare to do something under the eyes of Ancestor Jiang will risk his life!"
"It is true that Tiannanfang City bans martial arts, but what about outside Tiannanfang City?"
Lu Zhiwei asked.
This question really stopped Lu Changfeng, and he scratched his head for a moment.
Tiannanfang City is nearly three thousand miles away from Qingshan Sect. Within this distance, as long as you leave the three hundred miles forbidden martial arts zone in Tiannanfang City, there will be no protection from Ancestor Jiang for the remaining distance.
Once someone makes an interception, it's really up to you to resolve it.
"What my little sister said is absolutely true. This is what I am most worried about."
"If we really get the Foundation Establishment Pill, how can we block the news and bring the Foundation Establishment Pill back to the sect safely."
Lu Yuanshan opened his mouth and said what he was thinking.
Needless to say, the temptation of a foundation-building pill to a Qi-training monk.
Even a Foundation Establishment monk would be willing to rob the Foundation Establishment Pill for his descendants and would do anything to obtain it.
"Changfeng, although you are now in the Great Perfection state of Qi training and have the power to protect yourself, this is only in front of enemies during the Qi training period."
"If you encounter several opponents of the same realm, or even a foundation-building monk, do you think you can still resist?"
Lu Yuanshan asked solemnly.
