I am practicing Shushan Taoism in the realm of cultivating immortals

Chapter 14 Apprenticeship

Wang Chong couldn't help but frown when he thought about the world of Shu Mountain, and the sigh just now made Li Xiuling and the three of them nervous for a while, thinking that Wang Chong was not satisfied with the progress of the three of them's studies, and felt uneasy for a while.

Wang Chong's reaction was also extremely fast. He quickly collected distracting thoughts, calmed down his thoughts, and glanced at the nervous trio and said:
"Let's learn this first today. You should memorize the verse first, and I will explain it to you tomorrow night."

The three of them didn't dare to talk too much, they hurriedly saluted, and after a salute, they retreated respectfully.

After the three left, Wang Chong's face darkened.

The introductory skill of cultivating the Tao and building the foundation is to restrain the mind and cut off distracting thoughts, which means: the heart is dead and the spirit is alive.

Not to mention that Wang Chong has re-established the foundation and cultivated the innate Taoism, even if he has not practiced it yet, with the Taoism of his previous life, he shouldn't be so random and scattered.

There are only two possibilities for such a situation: one is that Taiyi Hunyuan Patriarch is about to be robbed, and under the connection of luck, even though two multiverses are separated, he still feels something in his heart.

Another possibility is that the magic that Wang Chong thought he had gotten rid of hadn't been eliminated, but had been hidden deeper.

With a thought, Yuanshi Fuli Orb appeared.

Looking at this orb, which was as bright as a small moon, Wang Chong looked a little confused for the first time.

In the days that followed, the three of Li Xiuling would come every night, and Wang Chong devoted himself to teaching the three of them.

After half a month passed like this, the three of them finally understood all the formulas taught by Wang Chong, and officially started to practice.

On the other hand, Wang Chong took the time to go to Liyuan City, first to buy some spiritual grains for the three of them to build a foundation, and second to collect some hardware essence and various elixir to prepare for future sword refining.

After dividing the hundreds of catties of spiritual grain left over from his foundation building among the three, and giving them detailed instructions, he left Lijia Village.

Liyuan City is a famous fairy city in Basuo State. Although the resident population is less than [-], most of them are immortal cultivators. It is jointly run by several Jindan sects and five major chambers of commerce in Basuo State. It is known as the safest place in Basuo State.

It is also the sacred place in the hearts of all the casual cultivators in Posuo Prefecture, and all the casual cultivators who still have the heart to seek the way will try their best to settle down in Liyuan City.

Liyuan City is located at the junction of Southern Xinjiang and Chen Country. It is not too far from Wuxing Mountain, nor is it too close.

Now Wang Chong's zhenqi has not yet changed, he can only ride the wind for a short time, but he only arrived at Liyuan City after walking for two days.

Looking at the hundreds of feet high city wall, even Wang Chong, who is considered well-informed, couldn't help but exclaim:
"In terms of fairy spirit, it is far from the famous fairy houses in Yuancheng and Shushan. In terms of magnificence, in Shushan, only the Qian family's Evernight City, Nanhai Ziyun Palace, and Xingxiu Laomo's Kunlun Xingxiu Palace can compare."

If you think about it, the caves in the Shushan world are mostly created by a monk with profound morals and great supernatural powers to move mountains and fill the sea. In this world, it takes millions of mortals and tens of thousands of immortals to work together for several years or even decades to build such fairy cities.

The difference is still quite large.

He handed over a spirit stone to the patrolling guard who guarded the gate, and got a waist card engraved with talismans.

According to what the guards said, they could stay in the city for one month with this waist card, and after one month, they had to go to the city guard office to pay to stay in the city, or they could directly buy real estate in the city and become a city resident, which would be exempted from the stay tax.

"Sure enough, people become mature with age. These immortal cultivators have lived a long time, and they can learn by themselves without a teacher. Even capital operations are played by them clearly."

There is a stay tax, so naturally there are other taxes, and renting a house is definitely an expense. After a long time, how can those casual cultivators afford it?

The spirit stones that I have worked so hard to accumulate for a lifetime will either be slowly squeezed dry by the steady flow of taxes, or I can only take out all the spirit stones and buy a real estate at one time. It is okay if there are enough spirit stones.

No matter what the situation is, the family wealth of these casual cultivators will eventually flow into the three major sects and the five major chambers of commerce, and even their own bones have become an object of others, and even future generations cannot escape.

With such a method, it really has the three-point demeanor of the magic way.

From this point of view, no matter whether it is those foundation-building families or these big factions, they are all ordinary in essence, but these big factions and big chambers of commerce use more secretive and clever methods.

While taking a step to observe this so-called fairy city, combined with the introduction of this world in the book, Wang Chong has a deeper understanding of this world.

Walking through the avenue where the city gate is located, as soon as we reached a street corner, there were six or seven teenagers who were in the early stages of Qi training flocking to him.

"This is the first time seniors come to Xiancheng, do you need a guide?"

A boy with the sharpest eyes came the fastest. Although the others were a little annoyed, they stopped when they saw that the boy had already taken the lead, and returned to the corner of the street where they were waiting.

Wang Chong was a little strange, and asked with a smile:

"How do you know that Pindao is here for the first time?"

The boy saluted and said:

"Don't dare to hide from seniors, we have lived in Liyuan City since we were young, although we dare not say that we can recognize everyone in the city, but we can still recognize most of them, seniors are familiar with each other, that's why we took the liberty to come here."

Wang Chong was somewhat satisfied with the young man's tact, and in a few words, he introduced his background, and pointed out that he had lived in this city since he was a child, and was capable of serving as a guide.

"Alright, it happens that Pindao needs a lot of spiritual materials, and I don't know what to do, so I hired you."

The young man was overjoyed and saluted again:

"Junior Chen Shutong, I have met senior, dare to ask senior's name."

Wang Chong nodded and replied:

"Poverty Dao's surname is Wang, but he has come to Liyuan City to buy a large amount of hardware essence, elixir, or elixir seeds. Can Xu Xiaoyou give you an introduction?"

In fact, Wang Chong looked younger than this Chen Shutong, but who made Wang Chong talk old-fashioned, with the appearance of a senior, coupled with his strong foundation, he could perfectly control the true energy without letting out the slightest breath, which made people confused about the details.

Uncle Chen saluted and replied:

"Hardware and metal essence are not rare. Liyuan City is the largest place for the circulation of spiritual materials in the entire Basha State. Any shop can find them. However, if the senior needs a large amount, then the junior recommends the shops of the five major chambers of commerce or the Fire Cloud Sect."

The five major chambers of commerce are not small, and they claim to be popular in Kyushu. Each chamber of commerce is guarded by a number of monks of Nascent Soul rank, and they are one of the top forces in Kyushu.

As for the Fire Cloud Sect, it is famous for refining weapons, and the mountain gate is in the territory of Chen State, and it is the most powerful sect in Posuo Prefecture.

Chen Shutong didn't introduce some corner shops, which made Wang Chong somewhat satisfied, and nodded immediately:
"Go to Fire Cloud Sect first."

Chen Shutong quickly nodded in agreement, made a gesture of invitation and said:
"Senior please."

Wang Chong nodded, and followed Uncle Chen to the center of the city.
