Ugly Cultivation Notes

Xu Chunniang recalled that when several people saw her, their first reaction was to run away.

"Why were you trying to leave in a hurry when you saw me just now?"

"What fellow Taoists don't know is that the environment in Qingsha Mountain is harsh and sand beasts often appear here. In order to fight against the sand beasts, the monks who come here to look for heavy stones often travel in groups. Those who have the strength to walk alone in Qingsha Mountain , by no means an idle person.

We saw fellow Taoist people appearing here one step ahead. We didn't want to cause misunderstanding, so we planned to leave directly. "

So, it seems that these people are quite cautious.

"I want to go back to the north. Can I leave Qingsha Mountain as long as I keep walking north?"

“Theoretically, this is true, but Qiaosha Mountain is very vast, and the terrain will change with climate change. It is easy to lose your way while walking in it.

For safety reasons, if fellow Taoists want to leave, they can leave with the caravan in the sand city. The caravan is accompanied by Demon King Realm monks, so the safety will be greatly improved. "

Xu Chunniang was a little surprised, "A caravan in the sand city? Is there a city built in this sand mountain?"

"Originally, there was none, but more and more people came to Qiu Sha Mountain to look for heavy stones, and gradually the current Sha City came into existence. It is said to be a Sha City, but in fact it is not very big. You will know it when you go there.

It's just that the caravan will cost a lot of money, so fellow Taoists should be mentally prepared. "

"Thank you for telling me this."

Xu Chunniang thought for a while, took out a high-grade magic crystal from the storage space, and sent it to several people.

"Please tell me where the sand city is and how to get there? This magic crystal is your reward for solving my doubts."

The leading monk glanced at the magic crystal in front of him, weighed it for a moment, and then put it away.

"We have taken the heavy stone and are planning to return to the city. All we have to do is follow us."

Hearing this, someone in the team looked surprised, but due to the presence of outsiders, they didn't ask any more questions.

"Okay, let me thank a few of you first."

Xu Chunniang pretended not to see the expressions on the other people's faces, kept a certain distance, and followed behind them.

On the way back to the city, someone finally couldn't bear it anymore and sent a message to ask the leader.

"Brother Wei, we just left Shacheng a few days ago, and we just got a heavy stone. Why do we have to go back?"

Usually when they go out, they have to stay outside for at least ten and a half days. Sometimes, they even stay outside for a month or two.

You can't delay your own affairs just to lead others, right?

"Yes, and this female cultivator mistakenly entered the Prisoner's Sand Mountain. She shouldn't be much stronger. She used high-grade magic crystals. She looks like a fat sheep at first glance. Why don't we do it..."

The questioner did not avoid others, so his message was heard by others.

Someone's eyes flickered, planning to kill someone and seize the treasure.

The person who was called Brother Wei hadn't spoken yet, but the only female cultivator in the team, the monk Wei Xing's fellow monk, snorted coldly.

"You two, don't you have any brains? Even though that person entered Qingsha Mountain by mistake, when she faced the five of us just now, was there any fear on her face?"

The two of them were scolded, with some sarcasm on their faces, "Could she be bluffing?"

"Oh, this is Prisoner's Sand Mountain. Even if she has never been here, she must have heard of the reputation of Prisoner's Sand Mountain. If she is really bluffing, why would she send us away with a high-grade magic crystal?"

In the spiritual world, even a three-year-old child knows that wealth should not be revealed.

The female cultivator generously took out the high-grade magic crystal and handed it to them casually. From this small move, it was enough to see that the other party was very confident and did not regard these people as a threat at all.

When the two of them reacted, they broke into a cold sweat.

"So Brother Wei took the initiative to lead the way to ensure our safety?" ˆ ˆ ˆ "That's right, we don't know the depth of the other party, and we can't guarantee whether the other party will get angry."

The monk surnamed Wei explained, "But she is asking for something from us now. We take the initiative to lead the way. At least before arriving at Shacheng, she will not attack us. When we arrive at Shacheng, we will be safe."

The two looked at each other, and each could see the joy in the other's eyes. Brother Wei and sister-in-law were thoughtful.

They should just stay honest and follow brother Wei and sister-in-law.

Xu Chunniang was unaware of the conversation between several people.

She followed them from a distance and walked in the yellow sand for four or five days. Finally, on the morning of the fifth day, she saw the sand city in the distance.

The journey was uneventful, which made the monk Wei feel relieved.

He turned to look behind him and introduced Xu Chunniang.

"Fellow Taoist, Shacheng is right ahead."

Xu Chunniang nodded slightly, her eyes falling on the earthy brown wall outside the sand city.

This city wall is low, only about ten feet high, but it blocks the yellow sand all over the sky from outside the city, which is very magical.

The monk surnamed Wei followed her gaze and explained.

"Fellow Taoist, despite the low height of this city wall, when this city wall was built, a lot of heavy stones and other rare materials were mixed in.

Using the natural adsorption of heavy stones, it can absorb a large amount of sand and dust and keep the yellow sand out of the city wall. This is also a major feature of the sand city. "

After hearing what the other party said, Xu Chunniang nodded secretly and looked at the rolling tents outside the city.

With Shacheng as the center, many tents were set up outside the city wall, tens to hundreds of feet away.

Outside the tents, there are simple formations, and some tents have nothing at all, with figures of monks coming and going among them.

She looked at the camp and felt a little strange, "Why don't they go into the city, but gather together and camp outside the city? Is there too many people in the city that they can't live in?"

The monk surnamed Wei looked embarrassed. In fact, none of them lived in the city. Two of these tents belonged to them.

It's not that the city can't accommodate more monks, it's that the city is too expensive to live in.

The Taoist monk surnamed Wei explained generously.

"My fellow Taoists don't know that this Sand City is the only city in Qi Sha Mountain. It cost a lot of money when it was first built, so the entrance fee is also surprisingly expensive. Every day you stay in the city, you have to pay a thousand magic crystals. "

One thousand magic crystals per day, which is 30,000 a month, and 360,000 a year, is indeed a high expense.

“The entry fee to the city was too expensive and we couldn’t afford it, so we settled for the next best thing and chose not to enter the city but to camp outside the city.

When setting up camp near Shacheng, you also have to pay a fee to the city, but this fee is much lower than the entrance fee. "

"I see."

Xu Chunniang withdrew her gaze and looked at the people in front of her.

"Thank you very much for this journey. Otherwise, I would have had to search for a long time to find this sand city."

"It's just a little effort, fellow Taoist, don't worry about it. What's more, you have already paid me."

The monk surnamed Wei did not take any credit, "The road has been reached, we still have things to do, so we said goodbye to our fellow Taoist."
