Some spirit animals are tied with ropes, some are kept in cages, and some people directly hold the pet animals for trading.
Tie Hu was also very excited and enjoyed watching it, but the happiest one was Chi Hu. There are spiritual beasts and demonic beasts everywhere, and this place seems to have become the home of the demonic beasts. The familiar atmosphere makes Chihu very active, and he keeps getting closer to the spiritual beasts in the cage.
He is the cub of a high-level monster and a carnivorous monster. He scared many low-level beasts into howling and screaming, making the stall owner very dissatisfied. Zhou Yang quickly restrained Chi Hu and prevented him from running around.
After wandering around for a whole day, when the market closed after sunset, the two of them reluctantly left at the same time as the stall owners.
After a day of observation, Zhou Yang's idea changed. He was not prepared to spend a large sum of spiritual stones to rent an apartment. The demand for spiritual herbs and elixirs here is very high. He has the secret of spiritual planting. It would be a good choice to rent a spiritual field to plant spiritual herbs and elixirs.
They had a meal and drank some wine in a tavern, which was considered a luxurious time.
By talking to the tavern clerk, he learned in detail about the situation in Anping City, focusing on the situation in Xicheng.
There are three largest monastic sects in Anping City, namely: Dongcheng Tongzhou Trading Company, Nancheng Sansheng Sect, and Beicheng Xuanfu Sect.
Tongzhou Trading Company mainly trades cultivation materials, magical weapons and elixirs. It mainly operates in the northern part of the Hezhou continent. It has thousands of shops and hundreds of auction houses, and also has business in other cities on the mainland.
In addition, Tongzhou Commercial Bank also controls several mortal countries and is a famous large commercial bank in northern Hezhou. Although Anping City Tongzhou Commercial Bank is only a branch, it has strong financial resources, many practitioners, and great influence.
Sansheng Sect and Xuanfu Sect have both been established for more than 8,000 years and have nearly 100,000 disciples. Together with Tongzhou Commercial Bank, they are known as the three major sects in Anping City.
The leading sect in Xicheng is the slightly weaker Cang Beast Palace. It is said that this sect started by raising spiritual beasts in Cangshou Mountain, and gradually developed and expanded in the city, gradually becoming a climate, and has been passed down for thousands of years.
Cang Beast Palace provides all kinds of spiritual beasts to the three major sects and does not offend any of them. It is in a neutral position. This is one of the reasons why the three major parties have no objection to Cang Beast Palace occupying the West City.
The second reason is that Xicheng is relatively backward, and the territories of the three major factions are all affluent areas of Anping City, so they don't like this place. The third reason is that the management fees of all the shops, stalls and spiritual fields in Xicheng are collected by the three major sects. In name, Xicheng does not belong to Cangshou Palace, but to the three major sects.
There are many small sects and families in Anping City, each of which are attached to the three major sects. The relationship between the three sects is very delicate. In name, they jointly control Anping City, but secretly they fight against each other and restrict each other. Due to the similar strength, no one could have the absolute upper hand, and the iron triangle of Anping City was gradually formed.
The three large teleportation arrays belong to these sects respectively, and the medium teleportation array leading to Tu Yan City, although it is located in the territory of Xuanfu Sect in Beicheng, is shared by the three sects. The teleportation array you belong to is free to use within the sect, but other sects need to pay spirit stones for use.
Zhou Yang also inquired about the place where the spiritual field was rented out. The Blue Beast Palace has spiritual fields for long-term lease. They do not want spiritual stones, but charge spiritual herbs and elixirs per acre. There are two types of spiritual fields within the city and outside the city. The rent for spiritual fields in the city is much higher than that outside the city, but the quantity is smaller and the quality is higher. Currently, there are basically no rentals, and they are all controlled by the sects.
The Lingtian outside the city is much larger and the price is not high, but the quality is relatively low. Zhou Yang doesn't care about the quality. His Spiritual Planting Technique can improve the quality of the spiritual field, and it can also avoid the search of Jubaozhai and Ziyuanzong outside the city.
That night, Zhou Yang and his party found an inn to stay in Xicheng. The inn actually had a quiet room with an underground fire, which was an unexpected surprise. Because as long as there is a spiritual stone in the quiet room of the inn, you can stay there for a day or a month. This is good news for Zhou Yang, who doesn't have many spiritual stones and doesn't practice elixirs for a long time.
They asked for two rooms, one of which had a floor stove and naturally belonged to Zhou Yang. Zhou Yang and Chi Hu share a room, while Tie Hu has his own room.
Zhou Yang has been busy all night. Before dawn, more than sixty Huangling Pills have been released.
"Huh?" After completing the alchemy, Zhou Yang keenly discovered that his perception of things around him had greatly improved, which can be said to be a great improvement in the six senses.
"What's going on? During this period of time, I was either fighting or running around Tibet. I didn't have any free time to practice. Why did my six senses improve so much?" Zhou Yang was puzzled.
However, he would not let go of such a good opportunity and swallowed several Huangling Pills one after another, trying to break through to the eighth level of Kaiyuan when the six senses were opened.
As expected, under such circumstances, his promotion was extremely smooth, and he made great progress all the way. After breaking through to the eighth level, he showed no intention of stopping, but continued to skyrocket. While he was overjoyed, he was a little frightened, fearing that there would be physical problems. Fortunately, everything went smoothly and nothing happened.
"Infinitely close to the ninth level of Kaiyuan, it won't take long to reach the tenth level peak!" Zhou Yang was ecstatic.
In the quiet room, Chihu watched him quietly at first while refining the elixir. Later, after seeing Zhou Yang's breakthrough, he still held the yellow elixir in his hand. He couldn't help but stick out his tongue, roll one up and swallow it! This move shocked Zhou Yang. If this happened, Chihu would be in misery.
After a while, Zhou Yang felt relieved when he saw that it had no reaction.
While wandering around Free Square City, Zhou Yang bought a wild boar, which was eaten by Red Tiger before dawn. According to this way of eating, Zhou Yang can't afford to feed it. It seems that he can only let it find food on its own in the future. If it is good, he can bring some back.
"It's all up to you to improve the food in the future!" Zhou Yang looked at Chi Hu and laughed. He had his mind set on this young tiger.
Early the next morning, Zhou Yang went to the store belonging to Cangshou Palace. Sure enough, as the tavern clerk said, there was no other spiritual field for rent in the city.
The spiritual fields outside the city were divided by distance. The one closest to the city had to pay 2.5% of the spiritual grass every year, and the one farthest away only had to pay 50%. Of course, the farthest spiritual fields are basically wasteland, about a hundred miles away from the city, and are relatively dangerous because of the presence of monsters from time to time, but fortunately, the Blue Beast Palace ensures safety.
There were houses living around Lingtian and close to a river, so Zhou Yang asked to check it out on the spot. The clerk pointed him in the direction and told him to go see it himself. Zhou Yang had no choice but to lead Chi Hu out of Anping City with his senior brother.
Leaving the west city gate and moat, about three miles to the west, we saw patches of spiritual fields, divided into several areas. Various spiritual herbs and medicinal herbs were growing well, and some were being harvested.
These spiritual fields generally employ mortals to water, maintain and harvest, and a large number of mortal slaves are in the hands of Tongzhou merchants. They are mainly engaged in the management of spiritual fields, mining, construction projects, family servants and other industries. They are sold or leased like goods and have basically no personal freedom.
Not far from the Lingtian outside the city, there is a long river. Along the river are rows of houses for the owners of the Lingtian and the mortals they employ.
Walking more than twenty miles west, the spiritual fields here mainly grow low-grade spiritual herbs and elixirs with high yields, and the quality of the spiritual fields is not high.
Zhou Yang suddenly discovered patches of red bells, which made a pleasant tinkling sound in the wind, like musicians playing together, which was very pleasant. If this elixir becomes silent when picked, it means the end of life.
Several common spiritual herbs and elixirs in the city are available here, as well as many herbs that Zhou Yang cannot name, exuding an intoxicating fragrance in the spiritual field.
The further west you go, the larger the spiritual field becomes. The small plots of spiritual fields near Anping City are only four or five acres, and the largest ones are only twenty or thirty acres. The spiritual fields far away from the city are each more than 30 acres, and some are more than 50 acres. They are generally square in shape with roads in the middle for easy management.
The entire spiritual field is crisscrossed with green roads, and there are many people walking through it, working hard and sweating like rain, giving it a strong atmosphere of production and life.
After walking for more than a hundred miles, the smallest spiritual fields here are more than fifty acres each, and the largest ones are hundreds of acres. Although they are also divided into square shapes, not many are actually used. Most of them are Abandoned.
The spiritual fields here are of the lowest grade and have the least number of renters. The houses on the edge of the spiritual fields are covered with weeds. It is obvious that no one has lived there for a long time.
To the west of this spiritual field is a vast wilderness, with hills, grasslands, and dense forests stretching as far as the eye can see. There are also faint sounds of beast roars coming from the distance.
Zhou Yang heard from the clerk at Cang Beast Palace that although this place is far away from Anping City, there are no high-level monsters. Most of them are below level three, and monsters above level four rarely appear. But Zhou Yang also understood that it was rare and must have happened. However, Cang Beast Palace will send people to patrol the spiritual field, so it is safe enough that there is no need to worry too much.
As he walked along, he already had a plan in mind. If he wanted to rent, he would rent a large piece of spiritual land. The farthest one is about one hundred and fifty miles away. The management of the Spiritual Field Cang Beast Palace here is very lax, and patrol guards rarely come here. If you cultivate more spiritual fields by yourself, no one should take care of it.
The house here is pretty solid, and monsters around level four shouldn't be able to destroy it, as long as no high-level monsters come. If a fifth-level monster appears, there is not much difference between being a few dozen miles away from the city and more than a hundred miles away. The distance between the two is only a few dozen breaths for a fifth-level monster.
Moreover, there is Chihu. Although he cannot defeat the fourth-level monsters, he can act as a deterrent. After all, he is the descendant of the fifth-level high-level monsters, so he has an innate advantage. And Chihu won't be lonely here. He can run freely near the wasteland, and he can also solve the problem of eating by himself. He and his senior brother can even get some light.
When Chihu grows older, Zhou Yang plans to have a good communication with him to see if he can be allowed to ride, but he also knows that this will take a process. Monsters are proud by nature and do not allow others to touch them, let alone ride them. However, Zhou Yang had the confidence to communicate well with him and ultimately achieve his goal.
