"Let me take care of the guardian immortal master's affairs for you now!" The middle-aged man's hand flashed with light, and a blue jade slip appeared in his hand. Then he moved it to the table aside and said as he walked.
The so-called procedures were very simple. The middle-aged man recorded Jiang Chen's name on the jade slip in his hand, asked some questions about his origins, cultivation level, etc., and then transcribed it.
Then the middle-aged man asked Jiang Chen to take out the green jade token from before and handed it into the middle-aged man's hand. A small restriction was carved on the jade token with a flash of light between his two fingers.
The green card's light shone for a few times, then returned to its original state. The middle-aged man nodded with satisfaction and handed it back to Jiang Chen. He saw a small magic circle appeared on the jade tablet, which could automatically isolate the blowing dust. It actually had the effect of avoiding dust. In this land of sand dunes, It seems quite practical.
Jiang Chen looked happy, nodded and put the jade token away.
Next, the middle-aged man took out another golden jade slip from his body and threw it to Jiang Chen.
"Any place with golden light on it means that someone has already lived there. And the places with no light are empty places for cultivation. You make your choice!" The middle-aged man turned his back and sat down for a while. On his own seat.
Jiang Chen took the golden jade slip and slowly unfolded it, only to realize that it was actually a complete map surrounding Chushitai City and nearly thirty surrounding tribes, with a mysterious light shining on the map.
The places shining with golden light were actually concentrated around Chushitai City, and there were a few dots of golden light scattered around the thirty or so tribes. Jiang Chen didn't understand what this meant for a moment, and then raised his head in confusion. He turned his head to look at the middle-aged man.
"Originally, with your cultivation level, you could apply for a cave in Chushitai City, but since you have become the guardian immortal master of the Shanyu Tribe, you can only choose to stay in the Juling Cave in the Shanyu Tribe or surrounding villages and towns. "As if he saw Jiang Chen's confusion about the map marks, the middle-aged man slowly started to explain.
It turns out that this map shows the monk cave recorded in Chushitai City, but when you look at the golden light surrounding Chushi Mountain and Chushitai City, it actually accounts for more than 90% of the entire map. The surrounding tribes How to protect yourself if something happens.
Jiang Chen looked at those sparkling golden spots and couldn't help but half-squinted his eyes and looked at them carefully. Compared with the golden light, there are obviously many more places without light.
Then, his eyes moved around the Shanyu Tribe, and saw that the Shanyu Tribe was located in the lower left corner of the map, with three small white dots around it.
According to the middle-aged man, this is the location of the Juling Cave, and also the place where villages and towns around the Shanyu tribe gather. Just as Jiang Chen was thinking, the middle-aged monk's supplementary words rang in his ears:
"As the guardian immortal of the Shanyu Tribe, in addition to protecting the safety of the tribe, you also need to clean up the demon caves and caves on time to prevent the beast tide from happening. The monks from Chushitai City have done the cleanup before. From now on, this matter will be left to you. Come, if you don’t have time, you have to spend a sum of spiritual stones to invite someone else to come, and the guardian immortal master will receive a subsidy of his own, which can be regarded as the care of you foreign monks from my land of sand dunes."
After saying that, the middle-aged man threw a storage bag to him. He roughly estimated that there were about a thousand spirit stones. This was considered an unexpected fortune. However, Jiang Chen, who was used to seeing a large number of spirit stones, was naturally interested in this amount. Lingshi doesn't feel anything.
The obligations he needs to perform are basically the same as what Master Chang Fang told him before. According to the agreement, in addition to protecting the safety of the tribe, Master Chang Fang will spend spiritual stones to handle other obligations for him.
"Junior would like to ask. How big is the area covered by these spirit gathering caves? Why are they not located in the tribe?" After Jiang Chen looked at the map for a while, he suddenly raised his head and asked the middle-aged man in a deep voice.
"The environment is different in different places. For example, the three spirit-gathering caves of the Shanyu tribe occupy an area of about ten miles. Once you choose one of them, it will be your private area. You can arrange formations and restrictions at will, as long as you have such Circle the big ones." The middle-aged monk showed some surprise, but then said with a hint of sarcasm.
"As for why it is not set up in the tribe, do you think there are really so many places with spiritual veins in the land of sand dunes? These spirit-gathering caves are all set up on some extremely small spiritual veins, just because they occupy a small area and cannot accommodate many people. , so scattered villages and towns were formed. It was not until a hundred years ago that these small spiritual veins were unifiedly used by Xingxing City to set up the Spirit Gathering Cave, and the ability to protect the local area became stronger. So far, it is rare to see large beast tides coming. ”
"Then, can this junior choose this place? Since there is a Spirit Gathering Cave here, it should also have spiritual veins, right?" After hearing this, Jiang Chen said calmly, and then he gently tapped somewhere on the map with his finger, and suddenly that The white light there turned into gold.
Jiang Chen handed the map back to the other party.
"Here!" The middle-aged monk's eyes briefly glanced at the place pointed by Jiang Chen, seemingly surprised.
The place Jiang Chen chose was the farthest place from the Shanyu tribe, while the other two places were close to the Shanyu tribe.
"This is next to Rune Stone Town. There is a small spiritual vein that is several miles long. Since it is close to a demon cave from time to time, we set up a small protective formation next to it and set up a small spiritual vein on the Juling Cave. Formation eye. But because of the good environment, there are probably nearly a thousand people in the town there!" the middle-aged monk said with a half-smile.
Jiang Chen didn't say a word. He knew that since the other party showed such an expression, this place would definitely not be so simple.
"If it weren't for the monster cave nearby, the spiritual energy in this place would be very popular. It's just a pity that although the concentration of spiritual energy is high, it also attracts monsters accordingly."
"If you really choose this place, your cultivation progress will be quite fast, but you will also be harassed by the monsters from the monster cave. Although they are all low-level monsters and they also have protective formations, their numbers are enough to You’re so annoyed.”
"I remember that it seemed like a few decades ago, there were a few monks like you who chose this place because it was far away from the mortal tribes and had good aura. But within a few years, they all came back honestly. After all, no one wants to have many monsters to bother them while practicing.
"Okay, that's all. There are regulations above. Since you choose this place, you cannot change it for three years. During this period, you not only have to shoulder the obligation to protect this town. You also have to patrol the mountain tribes as usual and clean up the monsters on time. Beast. But for you, although you defeated my incompetent junior brother, considering that you are a Qi practitioner and a newcomer here, I applied for you to use the protective magic circle and the spiritual stone of the spirit gathering array here for three years. Maintenance fee, but after three years. You have to be responsible for this yourself." The middle-aged monk said in a lazily tone, glancing at Jiang Chen sideways, his expression seemed to have deep meaning.
"Look, there are two spirit gathering caves next to the Shanyu tribe. Does this mean that two monks can be stationed next to the Shanyu tribe??" Jiang Chen pondered after listening to the other party's words. After a while, asked softly.
"Hehe, you can indeed think so." The middle-aged man said a little unexpectedly, as if he was surprised that Jiang Chen would ask this question. He had already informed the Shanyu tribe of the situation, so how could anyone go here again?
At this time, the middle-aged monk looked at Jiang Chen again intriguingly and sneered secretly.
"I understand the rules of the Sand Dune Land. Everyone can recruit monks from outside. Does that mean that I can also recruit two monks for the Shanyu Tribe to stay here?" Jiang Chen thought about it for a moment and stopped hesitating. said.
Hearing Jiang Chen's question, the middle-aged man hesitated slightly, but he recovered in just three breaths and said calmly: "Of course, as long as they can stay here for a long time and have the Fang Master as a guarantee, how many people can you invite, fellow Taoist?" I can arrange it in Shitai City."
Then he took out a golden writing brush from his arms and gently drew on the white spots on the picture. Then he took out a jade slip from his body and wrote a few words on the jade slip with the gold pen. , and threw it to Jiang Chen.
Jiang Chen took the jade slip and looked down. There were two golden symbols on the jade slip, which looked familiar. They seemed to be his name written in the local script.
"Print the contents of this jade slip on your jade tablet. From now on, this place will be the proof that you are practicing in the Shanyu Tribe! It also contains the list of residents on the island, as well as the proven situation of monsters around the Shanyu Tribe. , please keep it well!" the middle-aged monk said calmly.
Then he put the album away, lay down on the chair again, and waved to Jiang Chen.
Jiang Chen gave a slight salute and retreated wisely.
After leaving Yinxian Tower, Jiang Chen did not stay at Chushi Mountain to browse. Instead, he flew straight away from Chushi Mountain and returned to the Shanyu Tribe.
Early the next morning, Jiang Chen left a letter to Master Chang Fang and left the Shanyu tribe alone.
With his powerful spiritual consciousness, he had memorized the map that the middle-aged man took out. At this time, he took out the location of Juling Cave next to Fushi Town. Jiang Chen raised the corners of his mouth slightly and turned into a strong wind. Disappeared in place.
I heard from Master Chang Fang before that there was a market built in a canyon on the south side of Chushitai City for monks to buy and sell items.
Although Jiang Chen really wanted to go there and see what kind of things the monks in the Dune Land traded and what kind of techniques they practiced.
But he hasn't arranged everything yet. The demon-slaying sword that was stored in the World Pearl and the ferret's frequent movements make it difficult for him to focus on other things, so he just endures it.
This time he did not choose the training place of Qingyun Mountain, but went to "Xiaohuan Island" where the spiritual energy was thinner. This was a decision he made painstakingly in order to keep the secret of the small bottle.
The reason why he chose a farther training cave this time was not only because of the rich spiritual energy here, but also because he didn't want to be too close to a mortal town so that it wouldn't attract too much attention. , not only has the conspicuous Order of God-Serving, but also the demon-slaying sword given by the old Taoist priest. Judging from his identity, he must be some great power. Moreover, when Fulong chased them that day, the first point of concern was this. This sword is enough to prove that this sword is extraordinary. I believe that there will be a big storm in Middle-earth soon. Only on the sand dunes away from other monks like that could he avoid the gathering eyes and secretly improve his strength!
Although there are still two or three years left before the growth of the two elixirs to be refined, the Innocent Pill and the Foundation Establishment Pill, this is nothing to the monks.
After all, he can also study the eight-armed dust-reducing method, and the tempering of spiritual consciousness is something that takes a lot of effort.
