Kaizhou is called a state, but in fact it is only a small town with a few hundred thousand people. It is about the same size as the small town at the mouth of the river where Jining lived when he was a child. But there is something special here, because Jining discovered that there were a large number of low-level monks in Kaizhou City.
Looking at the very lively Kaizhou City, Jining stayed in an inn at the foot of Phoenix Mountain in Kaizhou City.
Thinking of the adventure in Liusu Mountain, Jining was in a good mood. He didn't expect that he would get such benefits when he came to Nanzhou this time. He felt that the benefits this time were no less than those of his trip to Kunwu Secret Realm.
Originally, he only planned to give the things the old man gave him to the Wei family, and then exchange the star crystal spirit stone that the old Taoist priest gave as a gift, but he did not expect that a strange combination of circumstances led to this opportunity.
This also made Jining sigh secretly: "The secret of creation is vague, and all blessings and souls are related!"
Jining came to a restaurant next to the inn and ordered some side dishes and wine to drink. He looked at the scenery on the roadside in front of the window, thinking about resting here for a few days, and then preparing to find a blessed place to prepare for the Nascent Soul stage. The wine in the restaurant was home-brewed rice wine and tasted bland, but Jining drank it with flavor. At this time, he noticed that the chat between two late-stage qi-training monks in the private room next door attracted his attention.
"Brother Mi, I heard some time ago that monks from the Zhao family went to Liusu Mountain to seek revenge. In the end, a mysterious monk appeared in the Wei family and saved the Wei family. Not long after that, the Wei family from Liusu Mountain actually moved back to Langya Mountain." One of them. The famous Qi training monk said.
"I heard a monk who has a good relationship with the Zhao family say two days ago that there seems to be some secret in Liusu Mountain. Many Jindan elders of the Zhao family have gone to Liusu Mountain." The Qi Practitioner monk surnamed Mi continued.
"Yes, when gods fight, we should stay away. I heard that a tea tasting party was held at Luling Terrace in Nanzhou for a while. Brother Mi, do you plan to go and see it? Although you and I can't participate because of our cultivation, we can go and see the world. Not bad!" said the qi-training monk who spoke in front.
Jining was a little interested in the tea tasting party at Lulingtai that the two of them talked about. He knew that this should be a trading conference among monks in Nanzhou, and since he came to Nanzhou, he naturally wanted to go and see it.
Jining had an idea and hid his cultivation until the late stage of Qi training, then stood up and walked towards the private room next door.
"Two Taoist friends, I'm here next to Sanxiu Ninglu. I just heard the two of you discussing about drinking tea at Luling Terrace. Ning is very interested in this matter. Can you two tell me something?" Jining Zhao Er Bit clasped his fists and said.
The two qi-training monks were a little displeased at first, but seeing that Jining's cultivation level was slightly higher than theirs, they quickly put away their displeasure and invited Jining to take a seat.
"I, Li Yunhai, am also a casual cultivator. This is Hecheng Shanmi Yiqing. May I ask where the friend immortal lives?" Li Yunhai continued.
"Ning was originally a Taoist from a mortal Taoist temple. He entered the world of cultivation by chance. It can be said that he has no fixed place to live. Therefore, he can be said to be a lonely person. I just heard the two of you talking about drinking tea at Luling Terrace, so I took the liberty to disturb you. !" Jining said, seemingly truthfully.
Although Li Yunhai knew that what this man said might not be credible, it didn't matter that they met by chance. He didn't bother to chat with Jining. It seemed that Li Yunhai was also a talkative person.
He said: "This matter must start from Luling Mountain in Nanzhou. Luling Mountain is the place where Luling San people have practiced for thousands of years. There is a spiritual tea tree left in ancient times in Luling Mountain called Yumist Silver Needle. It is said that this The tea is picked once every ten years. It is also specially roasted by the San people of Luling, so it is said that mortals can realize the immortality after tasting this tea!"
"Of course, the tea tasting at Luling Terrace can only be attended by high-level monks invited by the Luling San people. Naturally, low-level monks like me cannot taste this tea. However, another thing has a lot to do with us." Li Yunhai continued said.
After listening to Li Yunhai's words, Jining also roughly understood the tea tasting at Lulingtai. It turned out that Luling Sanren was also a casual cultivator, but his cultivation was unfathomable. It was rumored that he had reached the middle stage of Nascent Soul. .
And he holds a tea tasting party at Lulingtai every ten years. Originally, the tea tasting party at Lulingtai was just a gathering between high-level monks, but as time went by.
Drinking tea at Luling Terrace will let many low-level monks know about it, and they will also come to the vicinity of Luling Mountain. They hope to win the favor of a powerful monk and become the disciple of a powerful monk.
And every time, some low-level monks got the opportunity, and gradually the Lulingtai Tea Drinking Party became a grand event for low-level monks.
Especially after the Kunyun catastrophe, a large number of monks in Nanzhou disappeared in that catastrophe. In recent tea tasting meetings at Luling Terrace, a high-ranking monk would set up a forum to give a sermon, which attracted low-ranking monks from Nanzhou to flock to him.
Li Yunhai said that it will be more than a year before the Luling Terrace Tea Tasting Party actually starts, but many low-level monks are afraid of leaving too late and have no place to stay, so they will go to the vicinity of Luling Terrace in advance.
After hearing Li Yunhai's explanation, he also let Jining know the general situation, and then stood up and said goodbye to the two of them.
As Jining's aura completely disappeared from the spiritual consciousness of Li Yunhai and Mi Yiqing, the two of them looked at each other with doubts on their faces.
"Fellow Daoist Li, I don't believe this person is a casual cultivator. Judging from his age, he is much younger than you and me, but his cultivation has already reached the perfection of the later stages of Qi training. Although your cultivation speed and that of the sect disciples cannot be compared, , but it’s not bad among casual cultivators!” Mi Yiqing looked at Li Yunhai and said.
"Well, but in the catastrophe of Nanzhou, many high-level monks died, and some people who had the opportunity to get their mantles. Maybe this person is one of these lucky people!" Li Yunhai said after thinking for a while.
Mi Yiqing's expression turned gloomy after hearing this. He knew that what Li Yunhai said made sense. The two of them have been looking for opportunities everywhere but have gained little.
Li Yunhai looked at Mi Yiqing's expression and sighed and said, "Opportunity and luck are always there, so you and I can just do our best!"
Jining had already returned to the inn room. He didn't pay attention to the conversation between the two of them, but even if he heard it, he wouldn't take it to heart. After learning about this today, Jining decided not to stay here for a short while, but to visit the vicinity of Luling Mountain.
Two months later, Jining came to a small town called Yongshou. He knew that Luling Mountain was more than a thousand miles away from here, so he settled in this small town.
However, Jining found that he arrived in time. If it were a few months later, he might have to find a place outside the city as a temporary residence. When he came to Yongshou City, he found that all the famous inns in the city were full. He found a room in a decent inn on the outskirts of Yongshou City.
Next, in addition to meditating in the room, Jining also occasionally walked around Yongshou City. He found that there were a lot of monks in this small city, and they also opened a trading place for monks in the city.
Jining was walking on a busy street today. He felt that several monks were heading to the same place, so he followed them. After seeing their disappearing figures, Jining was a little surprised. He didn't expect that one of the monks' trading houses was located in a bustling neighborhood.
