Wang Chong frowned as he thought about the world of Shushan. In addition, he sighed just now, which made Li Xiuling and the others nervous. They thought that Wang Chong was dissatisfied with the progress of their studies, and they felt uneasy.
Wang Chong reacted very quickly. He quickly put away his distracting thoughts, calmed his thoughts, glanced at the nervous three people and said:
"Let's learn here today. Memorize the lyrics first, and then I'll explain it to you tomorrow night."
The three of them didn't dare to say anything, so they quickly bowed and bowed. After bowing, they respectfully left.
After the three people left, Wang Chong's expression darkened.
The introductory skill of building the foundation of Taoism is to collect the mind and cut off distracting thoughts, which means: the mind is dead but the spirit is alive.
Not to mention that Wang Chong has re-established the foundation and cultivated the innate Taoist body. Even if he has not yet practiced, with his Taoist behavior as an immortal in his previous life, he should not have such random thoughts and distracting thoughts.
When such a situation occurs, there are only two possibilities: First, Taiyi Hunyuan Patriarch is about to be robbed. Due to the connection of fate, even though he is separated by two multiverses, he still feels something in his heart.
There is another possibility, that is, the evil spirit that Wang Chong thought he had gotten rid of has not been eliminated, but has only become deeper hidden.
With a thought, Yuanshi Fuli Orb appeared.
Looking at this orb that was as bright as a small moon, Wang Chong looked a little confused for the first time.
...
In the following days, Li Xiuling and the others would come every night, and Wang Chong devoted himself to teaching them.
After half a month passed like this, the three of them finally understood all the Taoist techniques taught by Wang Chong and officially started practicing.
Wang Chong took the time to prepare for a trip to Liyuan City, firstly to buy some spiritual valleys for the three of them to build foundations, and secondly to collect some hardware essences and various elixirs to prepare for sword refining in the future.
He divided the hundreds of kilograms of spiritual grain left behind after building the foundation among three people, and after giving them some detailed instructions, he left Lijia Village.
Liyuan City is a famous fairy city in Posu Prefecture. Although the permanent population is less than 100,000, most of them are immortal cultivators. It is jointly run by several major Jindan sects and five major chambers of commerce in Posu Prefecture. It is known as the safest place in Posu Prefecture.
It is also a holy place in the hearts of all casual cultivators in Posu Prefecture. Any casual cultivator who still has the heart to pursue the truth will try their best to settle down in Liyuan City.
Liyuan City is located at the junction of Nanjiang and Chen Kingdom. It is not far away from the Five Elements Mountain, nor is it close, about less than a thousand miles. If you have practiced to the level of knotting, perfected the Five Elements Escape Technique, or refined a sword to turn a rainbow, you can travel back and forth. It’s just an hour of burning incense.
Now that Wang Chong's true energy has not changed yet, he can only control the wind for a short time, but it took him two days to reach Liyuan City.
Looking at the hundred-foot-high city wall, even Wang Chong, who was well-informed, couldn't help but exclaimed:
"In terms of immortality, this is far from the famous immortal scenes in Yuancheng and Shushan. But in terms of grandeur, in Shushan, there are only the Qian family's Sleepless City, Nanhai Ziyun Palace and Xingxiu Laomo's Kunlun Xingxiu Palace is comparable.”
Think about it, the caves opened in the Shushan world were mostly created by a profound monk with the great magical power of moving mountains and filling the sea. However, the construction of such fairy cities in this world requires the joint efforts of millions of mortals and tens of thousands of immortal cultivators. It can take years or even decades to succeed.
The difference is quite big.
He handed over a spiritual stone to the city guard who was guarding the gate, and received a waist badge engraved with talismans.
According to the guards, you can stay in the city for a month with this badge. After one month, you have to go to the city guard office to pay money before you can continue to stay in the city, or you can directly buy real estate in the city and become a city resident. This stays tax.
"Sure enough, people become better with age. These immortal cultivators have lived a long life and have become self-taught without a teacher. They even understand the operation of capital."
There is a stay tax, and naturally there are other taxes, plus renting a house is definitely an expense. How can those casual cultivators afford it in the long run?
The spiritual stones that you have worked hard to accumulate all your life will either be slowly drained away by the steady stream of taxes, or you will have to take out all the spiritual stones and buy a property at once. It is better if you have enough spiritual stones, but if you don't have enough spiritual stones You can only borrow money and sell yourself to others.
No matter what the situation is, the wealth of these casual cultivators will eventually flow into the three major sects and the five major chambers of commerce, and even their bones and marrow will be sucked out. Even they themselves will become an object of others, and even future generations will not be able to escape.
Such a method really has the three-point style of the devil.
From this point of view, whether it is those foundation-building families or these big sects, their essence is actually the same, but these big sects and big chambers of commerce are more secretive and clever in their methods.
While walking to observe this so-called fairy city, and combining the introduction of this world in the book, Wang Chong had a deeper understanding of this world.
Walking through the avenue where the city gate is located, as soon as they reached a street corner, six or seven young girls in the early stages of Qi training swarmed in.
"Senior, this is your first time in Fairy City. Do you need a guide?"
One boy had the sharpest eyes and arrived the fastest. Although the others were a little annoyed, they stopped when they saw that the boy had already taken the lead and returned to the corner of the street where they were originally waiting.
Wang Chong was a little strange and asked with a smile:
"How do you know that this is Pindao's first time here?"
The young man saluted and said:
"I don't dare to hide it from you, senior. We have lived in Liyuan City since we were young. Although we don't dare to say that we can recognize everyone in the city, we can still recognize most of them. Senior looks familiar, so I took the liberty to come here."
Wang Chong was somewhat satisfied with the young man's agility. In a few words, he introduced his origins and pointed out that he had lived in this city since he was a child and was capable of serving as a guide.
"That's fine. It just so happens that I need a lot of spiritual materials. I don't know where to start, so I'll hire you."
The young man was overjoyed and saluted again:
"Junior Xu Shutong, I have met my senior and dare to ask him his name."
Wang Chong nodded and replied:
"My surname is Wang. I came to Liyuan City to purchase a large amount of hardware essences, elixirs, or elixir seeds. Can you introduce me to them, little friend Xu?"
In fact, Wang Chong looks a little younger than Xu Shutong, but Wang Chong speaks in an old-fashioned way and looks like a senior. In addition, with his strong foundation, he can perfectly grasp the true energy without letting out the slightest breath, which makes people confused. Specific details.
Xu Shutong bowed and replied:
"Hardware metal essence is not rare. Liyuan City is the largest place for spiritual materials circulation in the entire Posuo State. It can be found in any shop. However, if the senior needs a large amount, then the junior recommends the shops of the five major chambers of commerce or the Fire Cloud Sect. "
The five major chambers of commerce are quite powerful. They claim to have access to Kyushu. Each chamber of commerce is guarded by several Nascent Soul-level monks. They are one of the top forces in Kyushu.
As for the Huoyun Sect, it is famous for its weapon refining. The mountain gate is located in the Chen Kingdom and is the most powerful sect in the Posu Prefecture.
Xu Shutong did not introduce some small shops in the corner, which made Wang Chong somewhat satisfied. He nodded and said:
"Go to Huoyun Sect first."
Xu Shutong quickly nodded in agreement, made a gesture of invitation and said:
"Senior please."
Wang Chong nodded and followed Uncle Xu towards the center of the city.
