I save spiritual roots for the next life.

Chapter 242 Lone Bamboo Holy City
It's like the sky and the earth are opening and the red sun is rising.

The gray poisonous fog suddenly dissipated in front of his eyes, and the clean and refreshing air surrounded Li Jizhou again.

As soon as you see it, a human race gathering place that is three-thirds larger than Yan Guoliu Yunxian City is located in this holy land that is not covered by the poisonous mist.

Suddenly looking back, compared to the outside separated by a thin film, the inside is really like a fairyland!
The outside is full of dead trees and black water, desolate and lifeless.

And here, there are green trees, bamboo forests like the sea, and the smoke and fire of the world are revealed everywhere.

Li Jizhou used all his consciousness to observe the barrier between the inside and outside of the Holy City very carefully.

No clues were found for a while.

There is obviously nothing, but the poisonous mist does not invade here at all.

"Zhenren Huang, you don't know the past events of the swamp, so you don't know much about it. This layer of enchantment is the blessing of the saint. It is said that the Holy Lord of the Eastern Wasteland Holy Land, the Holy Emperor of the Zhongzhou Dynasty, including the Demon King of the Demon Clan have personally explored the swamp. I can’t even understand the boundaries of the holy realm.”

On the way to Guzhu City, Li Jizhou had an easy-going personality and got along well with the four members of the Liu family. At this moment, Liu Zhengfeng became less reserved.

"Sage's favor?" Li Jizhou responded with a puzzled look on his face.

"Huang Zhenren, the saint in the swamp is the ancestor of the Earth Spirit Master lineage, the Great Earth Spirit Master from ancient times!" Liu Zhengfeng immediately became a little excited.

"I heard something!" Li Jizhou nodded slightly.

"So, most people in the swamp respect the Earth Spirit Master!" Liu Zhengfeng added again.

When Li Jizhou heard this, he subconsciously looked back at Liu Hongling.

Liu Hongling was following respectfully, listening to Liu Zhengfeng and Huang Zhenren's introduction to the situation here.
Unexpectedly, the conversation between the two turned to him.

Faced with Master Huang's glance back, she suddenly blushed with shame: "Master Huang, although Hongling is born to be able to sense the general trend of the world and has the talent of an earth spirit master, but... but the talent is limited, and among the earth spirit masters, He is inferior and stupid... He has not broken through to the third level yet..."

When Liu Zhengfeng heard this, he couldn't help but glared at him secretly.

Then he hurriedly looked at Li Jizhou and said: "Master Huang, what I said is true. You can inquire for yourself. Since the Ten Thousand Poison Swamp was opened by that saint, the Earth Spirit Master has always been revered here. It is even said that as long as If another Earth Spirit Master reaches the level of a saint is born, all the poisonous mist in this area can be cleared away, and this area can be restored to a bright and peaceful world."

"This is why our Liu family decided to move here from Qi State!"

"And it is true as I just said, because our Liu family has Hong Ling, an earth spiritual master, we have just come to this area and are highly respected.

Including the house in the inner city where we live now was given to us by the city lord's palace because Hong Ling was an earth spirit master! "

Liu Zhengfeng became more and more excited as he talked, and the glory of that time seemed to appear on his old face.

A fake Dan-level family from a medium-sized cultivating country like Qi was actually able to receive great courtesy in the Ten Thousand Poison Swamp, where True Lord Nascent Soul was sitting and where True Lord Jiedan could be seen everywhere.

This incident made him glad that he made the right decision back then.

Li Jizhou did not interrupt his memory of his glory, nor did he say something inappropriate: "Come down."

It wasn't until he recalled the courtesy the Liu family received when they first came here that he suddenly made a sad face and said with some disappointment and reluctance: "It's just that Hongling, with a lot of help, spent dozens of The spirit beast with the blood of the earth spirit has been wasting nearly 30 years, but it still cannot break through to the third level of earth spiritual master... and everyone finally gave up."

"Although Earth Spiritists are scarce, in the entire swamp for thousands of years, every few years, there will always be found people who are innately gifted as Earth Spirit Masters who can sense the general trend of the world. However, there are very few people with great potential. Most of them are Stay at level three for life."

……

After listening to Liu Zhengfeng's explanation, Li Jizhou nodded slightly.

Liu Zhengfeng's expression perked up again, and he hurriedly said: "Master Huang, although many people say that Hongling may have no potential, because he is not talented enough, and it will be difficult to advance in his life.
But I beg to differ.

In fact, Hong Ling's talent is very good. When he was 16 years old, he basically broke through to the second level of Earth Spirit Master.

The old man suspected that the reason why he was like this was because he once broke through to the second level and used his magical power to damage his foundation. This may take time to recover. Now it is only 40 years old.
The old man believes that if she is given some more time, it may not be impossible.

And once he breaks through to the third level of Earth Spirit Master, he will definitely be respected again, and then all those who protect him will definitely..."

Looking at Liu Zhengfeng’s confident expression,

Li Jizhou knew that this was a cake painting for him.

I hope he can help Liu Hongling get promoted.

What is most needed to be promoted to the third-level earth spiritual master is the third-level spiritual beast that contains the spirit of the earth.

For example, the six-legged turtle captured this time,

However, monsters of this level are very difficult for the Liu family, which only has one in the early stage of forming a core.

Not only are these monsters rare, but also because even if they are lucky enough to find them, they are difficult to capture.

They are in urgent need of the support of an expert like Li Jizhou.

However, what they don't know is who is Li Jizhou?

You originally entered the swamp to avoid disaster, so how could you go to the swamp outside so easily for others?
Li Jizhou didn't encounter any monsters or evil cultivators on the way here, so it couldn't be said that it was safe outside.

Therefore, unless there are any special circumstances, Li Jizhou is prepared to cultivate quietly in Guzhu City.

"I wish you all the best!"

Faced with Li Jizhou's expressed feelings, Liu Zhengfeng was not disappointed at all. No one in the spiritual community was a fool, so how could he believe it just by listening to his words?
Moreover, the time we get together is short, so the other party can understand even if they don’t know the situation of their Liu family.

Anyway, as long as the other party practices here, the future will be long.Then he suddenly had a flash of inspiration and looked emphatically at Master Huang Shi, then at Liu Hongling.

Although Liu Hongling cannot practice Dantian magic, the earth spirit master can connect with the general trend of heaven and earth, and can not only borrow the power of heaven and earth, but also the longevity of heaven and earth. The lifespan of his current second-level earth spirit master is much longer than that of the ordinary foundation building period.

Now, with a bone age of only over 50 years old, he is still very young.

And her beauty and appearance have been baptized by heaven and earth, so naturally she will not be bad.

As for Master Huang Shi, he looks middle-aged and appears to be in the middle stage of alchemy formation. It is very likely that he is in the late stage of alchemy formation. If he becomes a Taoist couple, he will be very happy.

The most important thing is that Huangshi Zhenren comes from outside and will probably not be as scrupulous about the earth spirit master as the natives here.

None of the natives here were willing to marry an earth spirit master as a Taoist companion, otherwise he would have long wanted to find a high-level Taoist companion for Liu Hongling.

"Hong Ling, why don't you thank Master Huang quickly!"

Liu Zhengfeng had been talking for so long, so many people in the Liu family naturally knew what he meant and understood that he wanted to find a protector for Liu Hongling.

Liu Hongling hurriedly stepped forward and bowed politely: "Thank you, Mr. Huang, for your kind words."

"Master Huang, we have entered the city now. With so many of us together, it is inevitable that we will attract unwarranted attention. Look, if you don't mind, let Hongling walk with you alone and introduce you." Liu Zhengfeng said with a smile again.

"Okay, then there's Miss Lao Liu." Li Jizhou nodded.

"Hongling, Master Huang is a great benefactor to our Liu family, and we must not neglect it. We will go back to deal with this beast now. You don't have to come back in a hurry." Liu Zhengfeng warned Liu Hongling again.

"Master Huang, after you get familiar with it, please come to my Liu house. I must repay you for your great kindness!"

"Good talk!"

After watching the three Liu family members leave, Li Jizhou and Liu Hongling looked at each other and smiled, and then focused their attention on Lone Bamboo City again.

The layout of Lone Bamboo City is different from that of fairy cities outside.

Because there is no spiritual vein here, the intensity of the spiritual energy in the entire area is the same, so there is no core spiritual vein area.

The entire Guzhu City faces south. The northernmost part is a vast bamboo mountain, which accounts for [-]% of the entire holy city. It is where True Lord Guzhu and his disciples are located.

At the foot of Zhushan Mountain is the City Lord's Mansion. The current City Lord is Nie Qingyuan, the great disciple of Lord Guzhu. He has been trapped in the peak of Danjie for more than 300 years and should be a hopeless infant.

Since Zhenjun Guzhu was preparing to attack the gods 200 years ago, he handed over the management of the city lord's palace to his disciples.

Now the entire Lone Bamboo City has been controlled by Nie Qingyuan.

Except for the Guzhu Zhenjun's dojo, the entire holy city is only divided into inner and outer cities.

The outer city was mostly a place for temporary travelers or other holy cities to trade, while the inner city was home to permanent monks.

Listening to Liu Hongling's introduction along the way, Li Jizhou verified the situation one by one by comparing it with what he had collected before, and gained a more detailed understanding of it.

Most of the monks in the inner city focus on cultivation, but the resources are not as poor as Li Jizhou had expected.

On the contrary, the resources in the Poison Swamp are even more abundant.

Under the seemingly lifeless swamp with dead trees and black water outside, there are many precious materials and medicines.

There are even various secret tombs and other ancient ruins often revealed in the swamp, and many people with deep luck have received unparalleled opportunities and soared into the sky.

It is said that the immeasurable piece of spiritual bamboo that Lord Lone Bamboo obtained back then was probably obtained from the ruins of a certain secret realm.

Apart from this uncertain legend, one thing that is certain is that a monk in Lone Bamboo City a hundred years ago really got a complete opportunity to transform into an infant. Unfortunately, the news accidentally leaked out, and he was eventually killed to steal the treasure.

Of course, the longevity pill that Li Jizhou was most concerned about was also mentioned by Liu Hongling.

At this point, the plan for hidden cultivation in Lone Bamboo City was completely finalized.

Lord Lone Bamboo retreats in the bamboo forest and does not care about worldly affairs, which is just right.

The only thing you need to think about is,

First, it is not that safe here. The city lord's palace basically doesn't care about the market in the city, because the alchemy monks in this area are the main ones, and most of the high-level materials are bartered, and spiritual stones are rarely traded.

Even spirit stones are mostly used to maintain the energy of formations or puppets.

Most of Guzhu Zhenjun's disciples will go outside to seek opportunities and will not rely on collecting taxes to earn spiritual stones to purchase resources.

And he didn't care whether the monks in the city would leave due to safety reasons. After all, there were only so many holy cities in the swamp, and there were not many choices.

Therefore, the City Lord's Mansion doesn't even have a law enforcement team.

You can only rely on yourself for safety.

Without the spirit-gathering array, the aura here would be at about the third level of elementary to intermediate level. It is enough for now, but if it reaches the middle stage of pill formation, it may not be enough.

At that time, it will be necessary to set up the spirit gathering array.

However, ordinary monks are not allowed to set up the spirit gathering array privately.

"Don't think so far away for now, let's stabilize the immediate situation first!" After thinking for a moment, Li Jizhou made up his mind.
