"My little friend, I don't know something. Not to mention the ascended monks who have washed away the breath of the lower world, even the local monks will never leave Tianyu City easily." The old man replied with a smile.
Li Xiuyuan was startled, looked at the old man and asked: "Why is this? I hope seniors can give me more advice."
The old man looked at Li Xiuyuan and said meaningfully: "The speed of cultivation in Tianyu City is more than twice that of other towns, and Tianyu City will also have things that other cities don't have... I must understand what I mean, right?" ."
Li Xiuyuan was startled, looked at him and asked, "Is there a treasure here? Or is there a secret realm here?"
"Tianyu City is the only entrance and exit for the human and demon tribes to enter and exit the wild world. As a result, there are countless rare materials brought back from the wild world, and even elixirs that allow people to advance overnight are also for sale. But the price is so high that it makes people discouraged. And sigh."
The old man glanced at Li Xiuyuan and then said: "In addition, every ten years in Tianyu City, elders will give lectures and talk about the laws of heaven and earth. These elders are all monks in the integration stage... Therefore, this city Very few monks are willing to leave."
When Li Xiuyuan heard this, he couldn't help frowning: "If you get something, you must have to pay something!" He was happy at first, and then thought of more things.
There is no such simple benefit in the world, waiting for you.
"When foreign lands invade, both the human race and the demon race in Tianyu City must stand up to fight against the foreign enemies. Once foreign races invade, it is common for most of the two races in the city to be wiped out."
Having said this, the old man's expression dimmed.
"Most of them were destroyed?!" Li Xiuyuan's expression changed slightly when he heard this.
"Don't worry too much, little friend. The time for each foreign invasion can be as long as one hundred thousand years, or as short as sixty or seventy thousand years. If it really comes to a life or death situation, you can only give up and fight hard." The old man smiled lightly.
"So, is this a blessing in disguise?" Li Xiuyuan touched his chin, looking thoughtful.
The old man looked at him and laughed, and softly comforted him: "Alien invasion only happens once every tens of millions of years. With your level right now, even if a war breaks out, you won't be needed..."
"Thank you, Elder Liu, for your advice." Li Xiuyuan thanked him.
The old man laughed and waved his hands. After chatting with Li Xiuyuan for a while, he stood up and left.
After sending the old man out of the door, Li Xiuyuan returned to the living room and sat down, as if he had entered a trance.
...
In the main hall, after Liu Zhongyun walked out, several other monks were waiting there.
"How is it? What news did Elder Liu get from that young man?" someone asked.
"This young man has a very strict tone. He only admitted that he was an ascendant from the lower world and did not disclose other information." The old man shook his head, looking helpless.
"Elder Liu came to the door like this. He has just come here and is naturally wary. ... We don't have any ill intentions, we just want to make friends with him. After all, we are all in Tianyu City together..."
Several monks started talking to each other one by one.
Liu Zhongyun smiled and said nothing, turned and left the hall.
...
Early on the next morning, Li Xiuyuan was meditating in the living room, absorbing the faint trace of spiritual energy between heaven and earth. Suddenly his expression changed and he opened his eyes.
He saw old man Mo Wuxin, who had brought him here yesterday, already sitting in front of him.
"I've seen Senior Mo!" Li Xiuyuan didn't dare to neglect and clasped his hands in fists.
"You are so polite, little friend. I thought about it last night and realized that you can't go anywhere with your current state. If you don't mind it, how about becoming my apprentice in the future?"
Seeing that Li Xiuyuan didn't reply, the old man continued: "I still have a small courtyard in the city lord. If you are willing to be my disciple, you can live there without anyone's control..."
Li Xiuyuan was startled for a moment, thought carefully, then knelt down and said, "Disciple Li Xiuyuan has met the master!"
In his opinion, no matter what happens in the future, given his current level of Qi refining, if he does not find a backer in the city, he is afraid that he will be captured and sold as a slave within a few days.
"Okay! You are new to Tianyu City and don't know much about this place. From now on, you can slowly practice with your master before doing whatever you want!" Old Man Mo Wuxin stroked his white beard and looked at him with a smile.
"As a disciple, everything depends on the master's arrangements." Li Xiuyuan lowered his head and replied.
"Let's go, I'll show you your new residence. It's too boring here, and I don't want to stay here for anything else." After the old man finished speaking, he led him out the door.
...
The two of them walked through the streets and alleys and arrived at the door of No. 47 Tianjie.
The old man stretched out his hand to open the restriction, then looked back at Xiu Yuan and said with a smile: "The iron plate in your body can also open this door, and you will live here from now on."
Li Xiuyuan followed him and walked in, only to realize that this small courtyard was much larger than yesterday.
There are ancient trees and running water in the quadrangle with two entrances and two exits. Even the training room and the sleeping room are far apart so as not to disturb each other.
The old man took him to the living room, pointed to the high bookshelf and said: "You have just ascended, don't rush to practice, read these books first to understand the rules of practice in the upper world and the history of Tianyu City."
Li Xiuyuan clasped fists with the old man and replied: "Thank you, Master. I am determined to study hard and strive to understand the rules of practice in the upper world as soon as possible and become familiar with the situation in Tianyu City."
After taking Li Xiuyuan to choose a room, they returned to the living room and drank three courses of tea. The old man took a space ring and put it on the table.
"I see that your body is empty. I think everything on your body was destroyed when you ascended. There are twenty spiritual stones in here. You can go shopping nearby later and buy some clothes and daily necessities."
The old man glanced at Li Xiuyuan and saw that the black clothes on Li Xiuyuan were in tatters. There was nothing long on him except two tooth carvings hanging around his neck. He couldn't help but sigh.
Li Xiuyuan naturally understood the value of the Lingxian Stone. This thing that could not be seen in the lower world was a hard currency for cultivation and trading in the upper world.
"Master, don't worry. When the disciple earns money in the future, he will definitely return it to the teacher in double the amount."
Li Xiuyuan was stumped by a penny. He really needed these fairy stones now.
The old man looked at him and smiled and said: "This is a small amount of money. You are only in the Qi refining period now. No matter how much I give you, it will be useless. Remember: it is enough to refine one spirit stone a month. Any more is a waste."
Li Xiuyuan stood up and cupped his hands and said, "Disciple, I understand. Thank you very much, Master."
The old man nodded and said: "After you form the elixir, I will teach you how to make the elixir. In this way, you won't have to beg for help in your future practice."
Li Xiuyuan was overjoyed and replied silently, "Thank you so much, Master. I will definitely practice hard and strive to reach the point of forming the elixir as soon as possible."
Whether he was on Luoxia Mountain or in the back mountain of the academy, neither the old Taoist priest nor the master taught him how to make elixirs. Maybe neither of them were good at it.
"From now on, I will come to the teacher meeting for one or two days every month. If you have any questions, you can ask me.
The old man told him some more precautions and then left the courtyard with a wave of his hand.
...
After seeing the old man off, Li Xiuyuan tidied up the small courtyard. When he looked up and saw that it was almost noon, he thought he had to go for a walk.
The most important thing now is to buy a few shirts and put them away, otherwise a thunderstorm will strike one day and I will have a bald head and buttocks. Then you have to find a shop to process some of the dragon's materials, maybe you can get a lot of spiritual stones back.
Except for the golden dragon ball, everything else can be sold.
Only the dragon meat cannot be sold, so they find a way to return to the Shura Realm, and then give it to a group of friends such as Xiaoqing and Little Fatty. The dragons in the upper world are a great supplement to the monks in the lower world.
Although he didn't ask the old man how to return to the lower world, he was thinking about Xiaoqing alone in the demon realm all the time. This was what the master told him before leaving.
Thinking of this, he Xiuyuan pushed open the courtyard door and walked towards the front of Tianjie.
His master once told him that just ahead of No. 47 is the busiest place in Tianjie, where almost all kinds of shops are located.
In any case, he needs to settle down first, and then think about improving his realm, absorbing and refining as much fairy spiritual energy as possible. This is something that will be difficult to encounter after returning to the lower world.
He still has a lot of fairy spirit stones on his body, but he still can't open them at the moment.
It seems that I need to buy a good space ring in the upper realm in the future, so that it will not be unable to open due to changing the heaven realm.
Passing by one shop after another in silence, Li Xiuyuan watched quietly as he met various monks along the way.
He had to first find a shop where the materials could be sold.
After walking for half an hour, Li Xiuyuan looked at a blue three-story attic from a distance.
Li Xiuyuan looked up and down for a moment, and saw the plaque on the door of the attic saying "Yu Qiong Pavilion" with three flying characters.
Li Xiuyuan looked up at the plaque for a while, then slowly walked into the attic.
On the first floor of the attic is a hall tens of feet long. There are dozens of monks standing in the hall, selecting items of their choice at different counters.
A thin old man stepped forward, said hello to the store clerk, and handed over a storage bracelet.
The clerk turned around and took the old man to the second floor. Li Xiuyuan thought that the second floor was the place where valuables were sold, so he had no choice but to take his things to the second floor.
After that, more than ten people came forward, either taking items or directly trading spiritual stones with the store clerk.
"I said, do you want to sell spiritual materials or buy something?" A clear voice came from behind Li Xiuyuan.
Li Xiuyuan turned around and slowly turned his head, only to see a slender and beautiful woman in a green skirt standing quietly behind him, staring at him with her eyes.
Li Xiuyuan also looked at his clothes up and down, looked at her and replied: "I want to buy a few sets of clothes that fit me and sell some spiritual materials."
When the woman heard this, she couldn't help laughing. "Since there are spiritual materials for sale, please go to the second floor. We can also customize all kinds of gowns here."
The woman smiled sweetly and said, "Many monks in Tianyu City come to us to order robes."
Naturally, Li Xiuyuan didn't show any unusual signs. He just followed the other party's guidance and went up the stairs on one side to the second floor of the attic.
The second floor is much smaller than the first floor, but the environment is much more elegant. Some chairs were placed on both sides of the counter, and the woman in green skirt took Li Xiuyuan to a quiet room.
Li Xiuyuan took a deep breath and sat down on a chair in front of the table. With a flick of his hand, a huge dragon tooth was placed on the table in front of him.
"What price are you going to pay for such materials? I have to look at the price before considering whether to make a move."
When the woman in green skirt saw him, she stared at Li Xiuyuan blankly for a long time and was speechless.
It wasn't until a long time passed that the woman replied softly: "Two thousand... no, how about I give you three thousand spiritual stones?" No monk in Tianyu City would take such a dragon tooth like this. Come for sale.
Looking at the young man in front of her, the woman concluded that if Li Xiuyuan was not short of money, he would never take action.
Li Xiuyuan pondered for a moment without replying. He quietly placed the huge dragon's head on the ground, looked at her and said with a smile, "Sell me another half of the skeleton, and give me a price as well."
"Bring me twenty sets of black and white gowns each, which must be durable. Five pairs of boots..." With a bang, Li Xiuyuan stated his needs.
