Taoist help me live forever

Chapter 75 Shangyang City

After a few hours.

Fly hundreds of kilometers.

A city built around a high mountain can be seen in the distance.

In terms of size, it is about the same size as an ordinary county in Yue State, and there is nothing unusual about it at a glance.

It's just ordinary, unremarkable.

Yu Xian almost wondered if he was flying in the wrong direction.

He took out the map he bought from the oasis, and after checking the surrounding landmarks many times, he finally confirmed with disappointment that this was Shangyang City—the city that he once equated with the Immortal City in his heart.

Once upon a time, one of his dreams was to succeed in cultivation, and then move into this fairyland-like city in the mouth of casual cultivators.

When there were still a few miles away from Shangyang City, Yu Xian had already seen the crowds of people, so he took Magnolia and slowly landed from the sky, and chose to walk into the city.

Although Shangyang City is far from the fairy city in his heart, it still has hidden dragons and crouching tigers, and there are many masters.

He is new here and doesn't know any rules, so it's better to keep a low profile.

Flying over other people's heads carelessly like this, if you meet a small-minded person, you may become enemies with them.

There is a driveway built on the road, and there are rut marks left by the convoy ahead.

The two walked along the Chi Road, and soon saw the city wall of Shangyang City.

Under the city wall are shanty towns in patches.

Except for some exquisite courtyard houses and small second-floor attics, most of them simply build a shed and surround it with a fence, which can be regarded as a house.

Yu Xian also saw people feeding chickens and ducks, full of life.

Seeing this scene, Yu Xian's eyes showed the color of memory.

When he was farming for a certain cultivator's family, he lived in such a shack, which had no advantages, the main reason being that it was simple to build and could be dismantled and taken away.

A long and wide avenue was left in the middle of the shanty town, leading directly to the gate of the city.

There are monks setting up stalls on both sides of the road.

From time to time, people quarreled over the stalls, and the sound spread far away, attracting monks who looked like urban management, and quickly drove away the quarreling stall owners.

However, the stall owners here seem to be very well-mannered, with only simple cries and no behavior of soliciting customers.

Yu Xian took Yulan's hand, and the two stopped and walked, looking at it but not selling it, but secretly startled.

He thought that the roadside stalls were nothing interesting, but after a closer look, he found that the quality of the stalls here was extremely high.

Pills, magic tools, talismans, medicinal materials, rare ores, spiritual pets...

Anything for sale.

But Yu Xian felt relieved when he thought that this was Shangyang City.

Walking through the avenue, Yu Xian saw the city wall up close.

The city wall of Shangyang City was not built high, about five or six feet high, not half as high as the palace wall of the Yue Kingdom Palace.

But Yu Xian carefully discovered that the material for building the city wall was bricks made of smelted unknown metal, and each brick was engraved with shallow runes.

Some of the bricks were stained with dried blood that couldn't be washed away, and seemed to have become part of the city wall.

The entire city wall seems to be connected as one, with an indestructible momentum.

"It seems that Shangyang City is not peaceful."

Yu Xian had an idea.

The gate of the city has arrived.

It was very lively outside the city.

The flow of people into the city is sparse.

Most of them are monks, and there are also a small number of warriors. They are full of evil spirits, and they don't seem to be easy to provoke.

But these martial artists followed behind the immortal cultivators instead, similar to the existence of guard servants.

Immortal cultivators are naturally friendly to aura, and exchange frequently with the aura around them, as natural as breathing.

Although warriors can also use aura simply, but the way they use it is more like a kind of plunder. The interaction with the aura around them is relatively blunt, and it feels like a forceful pull.

It's easy to tell the difference between the two.

This is also the reason why Yu Xian didn't want to act casually in the mortal world before, if he met his peers, his identity as a cultivator would be exposed.

Of course, now that he has mastered the art of restraining his energy, if Jindan Daoist doesn't make a move, he will only let others see what they should see.

The city gate official is a middle-aged male monk in the late stage of Qi training. Seeing that Yu Xian and the two did not take out the token to enter the city, he asked actively:
"Is this your first time in town?"

"Yes."

"First pay the city fee, one spirit stone per person."

Hearing this, Yu Xian was secretly speechless.

Good guy, one-third of his annual income can actually enter a city.

No wonder everyone built their houses outside the city and were unwilling to enter the city.

After entering the city twice, all his wealth was lost.

But he didn't say much, the monks in front of him just now paid this price, and it wasn't bullying or targeting them outsiders.

After handing over the two spirit stones, the city gate officer turned over his palm and took out two bamboo tablets.

"Your names?"

"Idle time."

"Magnolia."

The two answered honestly one after the other.

They came here for cultivation, their wealth is clean, they neither steal nor rob, so naturally they don't mind revealing their real names.

"This is your token. You can stay until dark. If you want to stay in the city, you must find a place to live and give you a temporary residence certificate.

At night, there will be patrols in the city. Once a stranded monk is found, ten times the fine will be imposed. Take care yourself. "

The city gate officer handed the two people the bamboo plaque with their names engraved on it, and said in a slightly warning tone.

Yu Xian nodded, and led the obviously nervous Yulan into the city.

hum!
The moment I entered the city, there was a gust of fresh wind blowing towards my face.

Just like entering the oasis from the sea of ​​death a few days ago, the distinct environment between the two made Yulan directly break through the middle stage of Qi training.

And now Yu Xian feels the same way.

The concentration of aura in the city is at least [-]% higher than that outside the city!

Come on!
Yu Xian was secretly surprised.

Sure enough, you get what you pay for, and there is a reason why you are expensive. Yulan is cultivating here, and she hopes to build a foundation at least one more point.

Just now.

A man took the initiative to come up.

"May I ask if the two immortal masters are coming to Shangyang City for the first time?"

Yu Xian looked at the person who came down, nodded and said:

"good."

The man is about 40 years old, with a square face, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a bit fat, but he can vaguely see his youthful handsomeness.

Hearing the answer at this moment, his face was full of smiles.

"Young Zhou Fan has lived in Shangyang City for decades, and is very familiar with the city. If the immortal master wants a guide, the young one can serve the immortal master."

Yu Xian asked in surprise, "Can you afford a house in the city?"

One trip to the city requires a piece of spirit stone, but if you want to spend it in the city, this person is just a mere mortal, and he can actually afford a house in the city.

Zhou Fan's smiling face stiffened, and he said with a wry smile:
"As for Master Hui, the younger one is that he has inherited the legacy of his ancestors and has a tile to cover his head in the city, so he doesn't need to pay temporary residence fees."

Yu Xian understood immediately, and asked, "Okay, I do need a guide, what price do you want?"

Zhou Fan looked happy, and quickly replied: "You only need three taels of spiritual sand a day."

"Fellow Daoist, I only need three taels of spiritual sand. There are some places in this city that cannot be entered without cultivation."

A Qi Refining Cultivator who had been watching for a long time suddenly spoke out.

Yu Xian didn't answer, but asked Zhou Fan, "I plan to buy a house in the city, can you do it?"

"can."

Zhou Fan hesitated a little, then nodded heavily.

"Fellow Daoist, I can also introduce houses to you."

The monk behind him was still working hard.

Seeing that Yu Xian didn't look back, the monk spat and said in a low voice:
"Made, the luck of the surnamed Zhou is good, and he can survive for a few more days."

Zhou Fan explained while leading the way.

"I made the immortal master laugh. That person has always wanted to buy a small house, and he has been pressing hard recently."

Yu Xian shook his head and said, "I don't care about your business, I pay for it, and you do things, that's all."

Zhou Fan suddenly fell silent.
