Wonderland

Chapter 18 Seeing the Immortal City for the First Time
After chatting with the Luo Shou brothers and sisters all the way, Xiao Lin realized that in the Tianlu Mountains, in addition to Wuyin Xiancheng, there are several slightly larger Xiancheng, but there is only one Wuyin Xiancheng that gathers a large number of loose cultivators.

Luo Shou told Xiao Lin that in the Tianlu Mountains, it was not the loose cultivators who dominated, but the five major sects as the head, the cultivation families as the supplements, and a large number of loose cultivators, forming a huge cultivation world.

The five major sects are Qianlinggu, Bailianmen, Dancaoshan, Tianyun Pavilion and Qianfuzong. Occupied by the Cultivation Family, most of these Cultivation Families are attached to the five major sects, and even many senior members of the Cultivation Family are originally from the disciples of the five major sects, and the relationship between them is intricate.

In addition to the five major sects and the Cultivation Family, the rest are Loose Cultivators like Luo Shou. Although the high-level monks in the Loose Cultivation are far inferior to the five major schools and the Cultivation Family, they are worse than the large number of low-level monks, so for thousands of years , the power of condensation should not be underestimated, and Wuyin Xiancheng gathered a large number of loose cultivators. Of course, there are also some large sect disciples or disciples of self-cultivation families who will occasionally come to Wuyin Xiancheng to trade some materials or magic weapons. of.

For loose cultivators, the path of cultivation is even more difficult. After all, the resources necessary for cultivating, like Lingshan Spirit Vein and Lingshi Mine, are all concentrated in the hands of a few large sects, leaving very little for loose cultivators. And the most important thing is that the formula for the foundation building pill, which is necessary for low-level cultivators to build the foundation, is also in the hands of the five major sects. It is precisely because of this that it has aroused strong dissatisfaction among the loose cultivators. Zuowu Hidden Immortal City is specially used for casual cultivators' daily transactions, and every three years, the five major sects will also release a small number of poor foundation building pills, which flow into the trading places of several immortal cities, in order to quell the dissatisfaction of loose cultivators .

From the Luo Shou brothers and sisters, Xiao Lin felt their worries and dissatisfaction with the road of cultivation, and it also gave him a deeper understanding of the weak and the strong in the world of self-cultivation. In his opinion, the five sects are like their village's king and landlord In the same way, they occupy the best fields and mountains, and are the most prosperous, followed by the tenants who farm for the king and landlords. Although they have to hand over most of the harvest every year, they can also get food and clothing. The worst are these poor peasants. Now, there are no fields and no mountains and forests, so I only rely on myself to earn my life from the sky, go hunting in the most dangerous places, and trade the captured prey for meager food to make a living.

Soon, they came to a forest, and the whole forest was shrouded in thick fog. Seeing this, Xiao Lin couldn't help showing a puzzled expression.

Seeing Xiao Lin's expression, Luo Shoucai explained to Xiao Lin with a smile, it turned out that there was a large formation outside the Wuyin Xiancheng. Fog, to cover the entire immortal city, this method of concealing the cultivator's residence is extremely common in the entire comprehension world, and it is not a great method.

This made Xiao Lin suddenly realize. In fact, he had been here a few days ago, and he had also gone deep into the woods, but when he went around, he would return to the original point every time. Now it seems that he should be confused by this great formation. Spiritual sense, and thus lost the direction.

Xiao Lin was a little excited. The hard work of more than half a year was finally in vain. Soon he would be able to see the legendary city where cultivators gathered, which made him extremely excited.

Brother and sister Luo Shou took Xiao Lin and turned seven or eight turns along the way. They also explained to him in detail the method of entering and leaving Wuyin Xiancheng. Xiao Lin listened carefully and kept it firmly in his heart.

After walking for half an hour, the eyes of the three of them suddenly became clear. In front of a verdant thousand-zhang peak, stood a majestic city. Mottled traces were removed, and the wall skin in many places fell off, forming a pitted surface. At a glance, it was clear that this city might have experienced endless years.

"This misty immortal city has a history of thousands of years. It covers a radius of [-] to [-] miles. There are at least hundreds of thousands of low-level cultivators gathered in it." Luo Shou looked at the immortal city and smiled at Xiao Lin.

At this moment, Xiao Lin was already looking around. At the huge city gate, there was a square with a radius of hundreds of feet. Countless low-level cultivators were driving magic weapons of different shapes, some rising into the sky, others It was like a meteor falling, a lush and lively scene.

Xiao Lin was stunned when he saw it, and his face flushed with excitement. Isn't this the scene of the world of self-cultivation that he dreamed of day and night?Xiao Lin felt that all his efforts were worth it.

Hearing what Luo Shou said, Xiao Lin showed a surprised expression on his face. Hundreds of thousands of practitioners, this was a number he could not even imagine.

Seeing Xiao Lin's expression, Luo Shou and Luo Shuang couldn't help but look at each other and smile. They are both native cultivators in this immortal city, but a cultivator like Xiao Lin who accidentally encountered immortal fate from outside and embarked on the road of self-cultivation also I have seen a lot, and basically every cultivator who just came to Wuyin Xiancheng has the same expression as Xiao Lin.

After watching it for a while, he seemed to feel that his performance was completely unseen before, Xiao Lin couldn't help but look a little embarrassed.

"Brother Xiao, don't be embarrassed. Many foreign cultivators are more shocked than Brother Xiao when they come here for the first time. After a long time, they will become accustomed to it. Let's go, let's go to the city together."

The three of them quickly arrived at the city gate, but they didn't realize it from a distance. Only when he looked up close did Xiao Lin realize that the city gate was actually [-] feet high, and the whole body was made of dark red bronze.

"There are four such city gates in Wuyin Xiancheng. They are usually open. Only when they are in danger will they restrict the entry and exit of people. However, there have been no emergencies for hundreds of years." Luo Shou was next to him. Explain to Xiao Lin.

In front of them, there were already dozens of low-level cultivators lining up to enter the city, and Xiao Lin and the three of them obediently lined up at the back of the line.

At this time, a red light descended from the sky, and the light dissipated, and a handsome young man appeared in an emerald green robe with cyan patterns embroidered on the collar and cuffs. He looked 22 and three years old. Holding an ancient sword with a sheath, he glanced at the long line, showed a haughty expression, and then swaggered towards the gate of the city.

There are five or six guards wearing scale armor at the gate of the city. Those scale armors are not ordinary things at first glance. They actually flash with a faint black light. What surprised Xiao Lin was that they turned a blind eye to the green-robed youth. , let it swagger into the city.

Many cultivators in the queue showed dissatisfied expressions on their faces, but no one went up to block the theory.

"That person is an outer disciple of Dancao Mountain, and he is already a late-stage Qi refining practitioner. Hey, these people guarding the city are also snobbish, and they have always been servile to the disciples of the five major sects." Luo Shou's face was also full of dissatisfaction. , he said to Xiao Lin in a low voice.

Xiao Lin's heart moved when he heard the words, and he took a deep look at the outer sect disciple of Dancao Mountain, but did not speak.

"Brother Xiao, since we've arrived in Xiancheng, let's part now. Our brothers and sisters still have to deal with the materials that we can get. It will be a long time in the future, and we will meet again." After entering the city, the Luo Shou brothers and sisters hurriedly bid farewell to Xiao Lin.

Although Xiao Lin was a little reluctant, he still had many questions in his heart, but he still thanked the Luo Shou brothers and sisters, and then watched them leave.

After the Luo Shou brothers and sisters left, Xiao Lin began to observe the fairy city of the loose cultivators. He saw that after entering the city gate, there was a wide main street. The main street was very clean and people came and went, and there were rows on both sides of the street Store, Xiao Lin curiously walked towards the city, wanting to see what these stores are selling?
After shopping for a long time, Xiao Lin finally got a little understanding of the city. Those shops sell some materials for monks to make magic tools, such as black iron ore, red copper ore, steel making, etc., and some monsters The bones and scales of beasts, many of those minerals Xiao Lin knew about in the few years of Bailianmen, but this was the first time he had seen them. As for the bones and scales of those monsters, not only did Xiao Lin never see them, he even heard about them. Never heard of it, which made Xiao Lin curious about everything.

There are also some shops that sell various herbs and plasters, such as black jade paste that can heal broken bones, marrow refining pills that can be used to cleanse the bones and muscles of mortals, and venom that can detoxify. Xiao Lin once saw the Lu brothers trying to understand black Scale snake venom, while taking over-the-top venom.

Xiao Lin even saw that some shops were selling all kinds of yellow talismans, talismans, and spiritual inks, but he wandered around for a long time, but found that if he wanted to buy these things, except for some items of relatively low value, he could spend money on them. In addition, most materials need to be exchanged using something called spirit stone.

When he was with Luo Shou and the others, he heard that they mentioned Lingshi, but he didn't pay much attention to it at the time, so he didn't ask in detail. Now he is embarrassed to ask blatantly, for fear of being laughed at.

The only thing that comforted Xiao Lin was that the steamed buns in Xiancheng could be bought with silver. Although the price was high, Xiao Lin had enough silver to live here for a while.

When it was getting dark, he found an inn in a relatively remote part of the city and asked for an ordinary room, but the price made Xiao Lin feel distressed. It cost one or two silver for a night's stay here. He touched it. The ten taels of silver in his arms were full of bitterness.

Before he went into the mountains to look for mines, he let Xiao Shi bring most of the silver back to Huai County. In his opinion, he didn't need the silver, so he kept a dozen taels just in case, but he never thought that he would be there one day. This foggy immortal city has such an embarrassing situation.

When checking in, Xiao Lin was chatting with the store owner, and he learned that in the east of Wuyin Xiancheng, there is a large area that is a free market, where cultivators usually exchange required items and go to those big stores. Not much.

In addition, Xiao Lin also learned that there is an inner city in this fog hidden fairy city. Cultivators in the late stage of qi refining will mostly choose to trade there, but if they want to enter the inner city, they need to pay for a low-grade spirit stone. city ​​fee.
