Cultivation begins with the Shen family

Chapter 91
Due to the call-up order issued by the Ziyun faction, the already overcrowded Heihefang became even more crowded.

Walking on the streets in Fang City, there are recruited monks everywhere, and most of them have the cultivation base of the late stage of Qi training, and some are even powerful foundation-building monks.

Besides, this Heihefang was originally a trading place for monks from all walks of life, and the goods circulated were all kinds of natural materials and treasures in the Blackwater Swamp, which were rarely seen in other places.

Now with the arrival of a large number of foreign monks, the business of various shops in Fang City is naturally more prosperous.

I saw that on a crowded street, Shen Zhirui, the second elder Shen Xianghuan and Shen Daoquan were walking together.

When the patriarch left earlier, he asked them to go out to inquire about the news after finishing packing up the residence, so Shen Xianghuan immediately brought Shen Zhirui and Shen Daoquan to the busiest street in the city.

Although dragons and snakes are mixed in today's square city, and the ground is full of monks in the late stage of Qi training, and there are even some foundation building monks, but Shen Zhirui and the three of them all have the cultivation level of the ninth level of Qi training.

And when the three Qi-training ninth-level monks stood together, except for those foundation-building monks, basically no one would dare to trouble them.

"Our store just got a [Purple Mist Lotus] from the Blackwater Swamp, and the price is only 300 Yuan Lingshi."

"One [Silver Crowned Snake Gallbladder] costs two thousand spirit stones"

On both sides of the crowded street are various shops, and the waiters of each house are shouting hard, attracting the attention of passers-by.

And what they sell are naturally all kinds of treasures in the Blackwater Swamp, and there are many second-order spiritual objects among them.

However, the three of Shen Zhirui were not very interested in these shops selling special products of the Blackwater Swamp for the time being, but stopped at the door of a shop selling various books.

"Go in and have a look."

Shen Xianghuan first turned to look at Shen Zhirui and the two of them, and then led them quickly into the shop.

Compared with the hot scene in other shops, this shop is a bit deserted.

"Three guest officers, what do you want to buy?"

When the junior in the middle stage of Qi training in the shop saw the three of Shen Zhirui, he immediately greeted them with a smile.

"This store sells all kinds of magic cheats, qigong methods, and various immortal cultivation skills such as alchemy and talisman making."

Shen Xianghuan scanned all the bookshelves in the store, and finally looked at the waiter of the famous store and asked:
"Shop, are there any books about the Blackwater Swamp, including topographical maps in the swamp and various experiences?"

"Yes! Yes!"

The waiter in the famous shop quickly agreed.

After finishing speaking, he immediately turned around and came to a bookshelf, and handed several books to Shen Xianghuan.

"It seems that the three guest officials are also summoned monks who have just arrived here. These books are all about the knowledge and experience of the Blackwater Swamp."

I saw that Shen Xianghuan took these books from the waiter of the shop, and flipped through the introduction of each book one by one.

"Blackwater Swamp Illustrated Handbook"

"Black Water Experience"

At the same time, Shen Zhirui and Shen Daoquan on the other side were casually flipping through various interesting books in this shop.

However, these books placed on the bookshelves have set special restrictions. Book buyers can only browse one cover and some introduction information, and the rest of the specific content cannot be browsed.

Although the restrictions on these books are not strong, any monk in the late stage of Qi training can break them, but this is an act of theft, and the store owner can escort them to the government for disposal.

Just as Shen Zhirui was flipping through the books in front of him aimlessly, the name on a book suddenly caught his attention.

""Dongqiu Aristocratic Family Ancestral Records"."

Looking at the seven seal scripts on the cover, he murmured in surprise.

As a rural monk who lived in the borderlands since he was a child, Shen Zhirui's scope of action was only limited to Shayu County, and he knew only the surrounding counties such as Qinghe Shiyi.

This time he followed Xuanlingmen to Heihefang City, and what he saw and heard along the way greatly broadened his horizons.

However, he only knew that Shayu County, where he grew up, and the surrounding counties of Qinghe, Shiyi, and Huangkan were all the territory of Dongqiu County.

It is said that the entire Dongqiu County is more than [-] li in length and breadth, with hundreds of families living in the territory, and Shayu County, where he grew up, is just the most remote place.

Shen Zhirui was still very curious about the world outside Shayu County, so he couldn't help but read the introduction of the book.

"Dongqiu County is located in the lower reaches of the Tongtian River. There are more than two hundred families and sects in the territory, including one sixth-rank sect, two seventh-rank sects, and three seventh-rank noble families."

"interesting."

After reading the introduction to this book, Shen Zhirui couldn't help becoming interested, and then he looked at another waiter not far away and asked:

"How many spirit stones is this book?"

"Three spirit stones!"

The shop waiter immediately stepped forward and said.

Shen Zhirui's voice also attracted Shen Xianghuan and Shen Daoquan, but after looking at it, they continued to look at the books in their hands.

I saw that Shen Zhirui took out three spirit stones from his bosom, and handed them to the waiter in the famous shop.

The next moment, a ray of brilliant spiritual power shot out from his hand, directly destroying the restrictions on the book.

As the restrictions on the books dissipated, he immediately flipped through them.

After half a stick of incense time, Shen Zhirui slowly withdrew his gaze, with a slightly dignified expression on his face.

It turns out that this book introduces the distribution of forces in Dongqiu County, and introduces in detail dozens of families and sects with foundation-building monks.

The book also introduces a hierarchical system of family and sect strength. There are nine ranks from low to high, of which rank one is the highest and rank nine is the lowest.

In this hierarchical system, sects and aristocratic families of the first to third ranks must have Nascent Soul monks sitting in command, fourth to sixth ranks must have Jindan monks, and sixth to ninth ranks must have a foundation establishment monk.

According to the book, there is a sixth-rank sect in Dongqiu County, Ziyun sect, and there is a monk in the early stage of Jindan in the sect.

At the same time, Ziyun has a total of sixty foundation building forces, of which the most powerful are two seventh-rank sects and three seventh-rank aristocratic families.

The people with the highest cultivation in these sects and aristocratic families have all reached the late stage of foundation establishment or even the state of Dzogchen.

In addition to five seventh-rank forces, the rest are eighteen eighth-rank forces and 37 ninth-rank forces.

The Xuanling Sect that Shen Zhirui is familiar with is one of the eighth-rank forces of the eighteen families, while the Liu family and the Kuangsha faction are only the lowest rank-[-] forces.

As for the Shen family, it may be because it has just become a foundation establishment force not long ago, so it was not included in the book.

　I wrote a few chapters of an old book, and finally found that the finished book cannot publish VIP chapters...
