Jining walked around the market and knew that he couldn't find what he needed in such a low-level market, but now that he was rich, he didn't want anything else.
He wandered to the square in the center of the city along with the crowds of people. A splendid restaurant came into view, and he walked slowly towards the restaurant.
In a private room on the third floor of this restaurant, Jining drank the spiritual wine in his cup comfortably. Unexpectedly, the dishes and spiritual wine provided by this restaurant were also of the highest quality, but the prices were not affordable by ordinary Qi cultivators.
Therefore, there were not too many guests in the restaurant. Jining looked at the various monks outside the window, thinking of his life in the darkest place, and everything he looked at felt inexplicably friendly.
He picked up the side dishes with chopsticks and tasted them with great interest. At the same time, his consciousness slowly relaxed. At this time, the chat between two foundation-building monks in the private room next door caught his attention.
"Brother Tang, what's the purpose of this trip to Liuyunfang City?" one of the foundation-building monks asked.
"Hey, my master received news from the Liuyun Sect a few days ago, and the sea became uneasy again. So I came to Liuyunfang City to purchase some items, and planned to go to the sea with my master and fellow Taoists from other sects. !" said the foundation-building monk named Tang.
Then the monk surnamed Tang asked: "Brother Yin, didn't you receive any news at the mountain gate?"
"Well, I just came back from practicing outside, and I haven't returned to the mountain gate yet!" the foundation-building monk surnamed Yin replied.
From their chat, it seemed that the ghost mist that appeared in the Endless Sea had been made known to the nearby sects, and manpower had also been arranged to exterminate the ghost beasts.
However, the chat between the two later made Jining look surprised. It turned out that although the five small sects nearby had different inheritances, they seemed to have a special connection. Therefore, they signed an alliance agreement. After the alliance, they became the nearby area. A powerful force in the vast land.
From their intermittent chats, it was known that the recruitment meeting of the five sects would be held in half a year.
Jining gently put down the wine glass in his hand and looked at the distant neighborhood, recalling the situation when he first entered Fanyang City and was restrained everywhere. Although I want to complete the tasks entrusted by Luo Tieya as soon as possible, at the same time, there are many monks with old hearts.
So I secretly knew that knowing myself and the enemy would never be in danger. Although I had no ill intentions towards these sects, I still had to be on guard against others, so that I could proactively deal with them when encountering problems.
Jining's eyes lit up after thinking of this, and then he stood up and left the restaurant.
Not long after, a young man with a ninth level of Qi training appeared in Liuyunfang City. From his simple clothes, it seemed that he was a young monk who had been practicing hard for a long time. He was following a group of shy Qi-training monks towards the edge of Liuyunfang City. This ninth-level Qi-training monk was Jining who was hiding his cultivation.
At the foot of a mountain on the edge of Liuyunfang City, there are densely built simple thatched houses. It seems that there has always been a group of low-level monks gathering in Liuyunfang City.
Jining saw that most of the thatched huts were filled with people. Then he saw a middle-stage Qi-training monk with white beard and hair sitting in a large thatched hut. Then he stepped forward with a smile, took out five low-grade spiritual stones and asked: "Sir, there is no place to stay in Fang City now. Can I stay here with you?"
When the old man in the middle stage of Qi training saw the spirit stone in Jining's hand, he said with a smile on his face: "Yes, the five sects recruit disciples, so that fellow Taoists practicing nearby can gather in Liuyunfang City, which also makes this place crowded. It’s unbearable. But it’s right for you and me as monks to help each other. Fellow Taoist, just stay here!" Although his words were extremely polite, before he finished speaking, his other hand quickly collected the spiritual stone handed over by Jining. in hand.
Because he got these five spiritual stones delivered to his door, the old man's eyebrows jumped slightly, and you can see his excitement now.
"Old Qiu Mingshan has been living in Liuyunfang City. I don't know where my friend came from. Are you planning to participate in this ascension meeting?" the old man from Qiu Mingshan asked with a smile.
"Yes! I am in Xia Ning Lu and have been practicing in the mountains. I heard that Liuyunfang City was going to hold an immortal meeting, so I came to try my luck." Jining said with a smile.
After hearing this, the old man sighed and said: "Young Daoist Ning has already reached the advanced stage of qi training at a young age. You should still be able to enter the sect and become an outer disciple. If you can reach the perfection of qi training before the Immortal Ascension Meeting, If you have good spiritual roots, you may also become an inner disciple."
"Hey, how can it be so easy to advance in cultivation! Mr. Qiu, Ning, a person in the mountain, is so ignorant that he doesn't know the difference between outer disciples and inner disciples?" Jining then asked.
The old man surnamed Qiu laughed after hearing this and said: "What a huge difference. Becoming an inner sect disciple can not only get a foundation-building elixir, but also find a golden elixir elder in the sect as a mentor. The mountain sect is also a river and lake, With Elder Jindan as your mentor, not only can you avoid many detours in the cultivation process, but at the same time, Shanmen can gain a lot of benefits from the cultivation resources."
"It is not much easier for the outer sect disciples in the sect. They only get a few spirit stones every month. Not to mention the advancement of these spiritual stone resources, it is not bad to be able to maintain their own cultivation. To obtain more information from the sect, There are many spirit stone resources, so you can only go to the sect to receive tasks in exchange for resources. Some of these tasks are dangerous and dangerous, and many outer disciples have died in the tasks." The old man surnamed Qiu said sadly.
"Yes, the road to immortality is slim and difficult to walk!" Jining sighed.
"I heard from other colleagues before that the five sects recruiting disciples in Liuyunfang City are all from the same Qi Lianzhi. However, Ning knows that the inheritance of these five sects is also different. I don't know why they are so different. Are they connected with each other?" Jining asked pretending to be casual.
"It seems that Taoist friends have been practicing in the mountains. I don't know why! In fact, more than a hundred years ago, a secret realm was discovered in a wild forest near five sects! It is said that there is a supreme saint in the secret realm. Because the five sects themselves are weak, in order to protect the secret realm, the last five sects formed an alliance to deal with other external forces." The old man surnamed Qiu continued.
Then the two chatted about something else. Seeing that it was getting late, the old man asked Jining to rest outside, and then he walked into the inner room of the thatched house.
In the following months, Jining wandered around the market every day, inquiring about the situation of these five cases. Gradually, I also roughly understood some situations from the words of other monks. It turns out that a few sect monks discovered a secret place in that wild forest more than a hundred years ago. Unexpectedly, there was a top-grade spiritual vein there. Although the scale of the spiritual vein was small, this top-grade spiritual vein actually had A small spiritual spring eye formed.
These five small sects have also increased their strength a lot in the past hundred years because of the Eye of Spiritual Spring. In addition, I also learned that each of these five small sects has one or two Nascent Soul monks. Therefore, after the five sects formed an alliance, they have become the top power in the nearby area.
This also allowed these sects to begin to take back some of the spiritual resources that had been occupied by other sects. As the sects' resources increased, these sects had to recruit a group of disciples every ten years.
Because of this, some low-level casual cultivators skyrocketed after joining the sect.
This has also made Liuyunfang City gradually become famous among low-level monks. All low-level casual cultivators hope to enter the sect through the Immortal Association in Liuyunfang City, so that their future cultivation path can travel thousands of miles.
