The giant mountain is also called the Holy Mountain, with a total of eighty-one floors from bottom to top. The floors below the fiftieth floor are open to the public, but above the fiftieth floor, only the elders of the Star Palace can enter.
Because it contains extremely high-level spiritual veins, it is considered the best place for cultivation in Tianxing City, and countless monks flock to it. Unfortunately, the prices here are not cheap, especially the high-rise locations with higher spiritual energy quality, which can easily cost thousands of spiritual stones. It is true that not everyone can afford to live there.
Of course, for high-level monks, it is nothing. Thousands of spirit stones may seem like a lot, but the lease time is one hundred years, which is already quite a discount.
Han Li has no shortage of spiritual stones, and any elixir in his storage bag is worth a sky-high price. What's more, when they separated, the master had given him tens of thousands of spiritual stones, and he was very rich, so he would naturally not choose a low-rise residence.
On the forty-first floor, this is where the cave he is renting at this time is located.
Entering it, a burst of rich spiritual energy hit your face. Mo Juren couldn't help but nodded secretly. The quality of the spiritual energy was indeed not low, and it was no worse than his own cave in Qiling Mountain.
Through Han Li's introduction, I learned that the rental price of this cave mansion reached 4,000 spirit stones, which was really not cheap.
Walking to a stone table and sitting down, Mo Juren looked carefully. The environment inside was simpler, but not monotonous. The yard was quite large, and there was a medicine garden on one side, with plants planted inside. There are many elixirs.
However, the annual fees for elixirs are a bit low. It seems that the other party has not deliberately cultivated them, or the older ones have been collected by them.
Mo Juren couldn't help shaking his head secretly, but he didn't pay attention to it. After all, everyone has secrets, and he has never revealed his most fundamental trump card, so how can he force himself on the other party?
While thinking about it, Han Li had already returned from the inner room, holding two cups of spiritual tea in his hands, and said with a smile: "I know that Master likes to drink tea, and I have deliberately looked for some before. Can you try it?"
Mo Juren was not polite. He picked up the tea bowl and took a sip. In an instant, a trace of cool air flowed into his heart, making him feel comfortable.
“Good tea!”
"Master, as long as you like it." Han Li smiled with a smile in his eyes and took a sip. After putting down the tea bowl, he changed the topic and talked about his experiences in recent years.
There was nothing special. In the past, when the other party came to Tianxing City, he immediately started practicing in seclusion. First, it took six years to successfully cultivate the second level of Dayan Jue, and then refined the external incarnation. In the next seven years, the other party continued to retreat with the incarnation. Until now, both of them have cultivated to the late stage of foundation building.
"That is to say, you have been practicing in the cave all these years?"
"I occasionally go out to purchase some supplies, but I never leave Tianxing City." Han Li nodded and continued,
"The disciple just feels that his strength is still a little bit low. It is too risky to set off to the outer sea now. It is not too late to wait for the incarnation to form a pill before setting off."
"The alien sea is extremely dangerous, so you should be cautious." Mo Juren nodded. This was not much different from what he expected. The other party had a calm personality, so it was not surprising that he made such a choice. But I didn’t see the corpse refining after I came in. I guess it’s really practicing in seclusion, right?
"By the way, how's the gold-eating insect doing?"
"It hasn't hatched yet." When Han Li mentioned the gold-eating insects, a look of frustration suddenly appeared on his face. As a spirit insect that ranks high on the ranking list, he attaches great importance to it and even specially arranged an insect room for it. It's a pity that more than ten years have passed, but there is not even the slightest reaction. If I hadn't clearly sensed a faint breath among them, I would have thought they were all dead.
"No hatching?" Hearing this answer, Mo Juren couldn't help but be startled and said immediately,
"Take me to see it."
A moment later, under the leadership of Han Li, the two came to a secret room covered with jade. In the corner of the room, hundreds of silver insect eggs the size of peas were scattered evenly.
"It has been like this for more than ten years. It is not dead. It's just that for some reason, there is no movement at all." Han Li explained.
"Is there no movement?" Looking at the silver insect eggs in front of him, Mo Juren couldn't help but fall into deep thought, and kept recalling the memory of the gold-eating insect in his mind. Suddenly, as if he had thought of something, he slapped his palm directly on the chest on his waist. Stuff bag. A flash of light flashed, and dozens of bottles and jars of different sizes were scattered on the ground.
These are all the various kinds of strange insects cultivated by the Yuling Sect monk, as well as their respective food.
Although he got these things at the beginning, he didn't pay much attention to them. He would only take them out and feed them occasionally when he remembered them.
Fortunately, the vitality of these spiritual insects is extremely tenacious, and they will not die even if they are ignored for several years. To this day, I am still living well.
"This is..." There are marks on the bottles, and Han Li can naturally tell what these things are at a glance. I was even more confused in my heart, why did Master bring so many spiritual insects out?
"Gold-devouring insects like to devour other spiritual insects. From now on, they will be kept here. Smelling their scent should help the eggs hatch." Mo Juren explained.
"That's right." Han Li also thought of the records about gold-eating insects in the jade slips, which indeed had such a habit. However, wouldn’t it be a pity if so many strange insects were really devoured by gold-eating insects?
He leaned forward and inspected it carefully, and found that there were two kinds of strange insects ranked within one hundred, which were considered very rare.
"You can handle it yourself. If you really can't bear it, you can pick some out. It won't affect you anyway." Mo Juren saw the other person's thoughts and couldn't help laughing. The other party really knows how to get along, which is much better than him. Speaking of which, since he entered the world of immortality, his speed of spending spiritual stones has not slowed down. Of course, this is also because his business is booming and there is no shortage of spiritual stones.
The problem of gold-eating insects can only be solved in this way for the time being. It is still unknown whether they can hatch successfully. Observe for a while first, and if it still doesn't work, then think of other ways.
The two returned to the yard again. Suddenly, Han Li seemed to have thought of something. He reached out to his waist, took off a storage bag and handed it to the front:
"Master, take a look at this first."
"Huh?" Mo Juren's heart moved. After taking it, he checked it out and found that they were all rare materials needed to build the ancient teleportation array. Some spiritual trees are almost extinct in the world of immortality because of their age.
That is Han Li. If it were him, even if he didn't lack spiritual stones, it would probably be difficult to get them together.
"I'm interested." Mo Juren nodded and asked instead,
"These materials are extremely precious. It would cost a lot of spiritual stones, right?"
"It's not much. Master, don't worry. I just think of it as the disciple's filial piety to you. What's more, the disciple will definitely be able to use it in the future." Han Li did not elaborate, but the topic changed.
"It's a pity that some ore materials are so rare that even the disciples can't do anything about it for the time being."
"That thing can still be used seven or eight times, so there's no rush. You and I can search together and we can always get it together." Mo Juren nodded and didn't mention the spirit stone again. Quan was just pretending to be confused. .
After putting away the storage bag, he immediately talked about the purpose of his visit. When he heard that the master was going to stay for a long time, Han Li was startled at first, but then he immediately reacted and asked happily:
"Is Master about to break through?"
"I still need to make some preparations. If necessary, I may need your help." Mo Juren replied directly without hiding anything.
"Master, if you need anything, just ask me. As long as the disciple can do it, I will do my best." Han Li promised immediately without any hesitation.
"The first priority is to settle down first. It's not too late to talk about other things later." The other party's attitude made Mo Juren very pleased. So many years of training and dedication were not in vain.
"That's okay. I will accompany you to rent a cave first. I heard some time ago that there seems to be a free space on the forty-fifth floor. The spiritual energy there is much richer than here..."
…
Renting a cave is very simple. You pay the spirit stones and register, and it doesn't take long in total. After that, Mo Juren did not return to the cave immediately. Instead, he asked Han Li to accompany him around Tianxing City, briefly understanding all the important places and large shops.
When the sky gradually darkened, the two of them parted ways. Mo Juren flew Qing Zhou alone to his cave on the forty-fifth floor.
After a while, he passed through the barrier of a formation and entered a courtyard. Compared to Han Li's cave, the spiritual energy here is obviously richer and the area is much larger.
He let go of his consciousness and checked it carefully, then took out several sets of formation flags and began to arrange them.
Although the original formation of the cave was good, after all, it was not made by myself, so I was always a little worried. After the other three formations were completed, he nodded with satisfaction.
Next is the layout of the cave, which is quite simple. This time, I didn't even bring Xiao Jin with me, and I even left the spirit worms to Han Li, so I was safe and sound.
As for the cave abode, as long as it works, I don't bother to pay attention to it. He went straight out of the secret room, sat cross-legged, closed his eyes and rested his mind.
Nearly half a year has passed since starting from Tiannan. Now that he finally arrived at Tianxing City, he also needed to take a good rest. If he had anything to do, he would talk about it tomorrow.
…
The next morning, the sky was bright.
Mo Juren left the cave mansion early in the morning, and Qing Zhou flew down at high speed.
Among the first level of the Holy Mountain, this is where Tianxing City is located. Its scale is so large that it occupies almost more than half of the area on the first level. Every day, countless monks come here to buy and sell magic weapons, elixirs, spiritual talismans and other various cultivation resources. It is extremely prosperous.
Tianxing City is not only the largest city in Luan Xinghai, but also has a relaxed and free environment, resulting in an extremely large scale of business here. Almost all large and small forces will set up their own branches in the market here.
Among them, the most famous are the four auction houses established by the four major business alliances. At every auction, a large number of rare treasures and rare materials appear, attracting countless people to compete for them.
"Miaoyin Pavilion"
In front of a three-story building with a slightly unique style, Mo Juren suddenly stopped and looked at the plaque above the door, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.
