Cultivation Begins From The Desert

If you ask where is the most prosperous place in Floating Cloud Continent Cultivation Realm, all the monks in Floating Cloud Continent Cultivation Realm will say that it is Floating Cloud Immortal City.

In fact, the development of Floating Cloud Immortal City is not just a simple immortal city, but a super power that relies on Floating Cloud Immortal City as its core.

This big power is not as vast and vast as the "Tiandao League" and "Xuanqing Taoist League". It is a business alliance with Floating Cloud Immortal City as the core, consisting of 28 immortal cities and more than 100 square cities. Known by the outside world as "Liuyun Business Alliance"

It may not be the most powerful superpower, but it is definitely the richest superpower.

Here, as long as you have spirit stones, you can buy most of the spirits below the sixth rank, including many unique treasures from other immortal worlds.

Even in Floating Cloud Immortal City, there are specialty stores opened by some other superpowers in the Immortal Cultivation World.

Zhou Yang had heard the name of Liuyun Immortal City for a long time, but unfortunately, for various reasons, he never came to open his eyes.

This time, by taking the opportunity of meeting fellow Taoist Xiao Ying, he finally had the chance to have a taste of what he wanted.

Before reaching the real Floating Cloud Immortal City, Zhou Yang had already fully felt the prosperity here.

In the entire "Liuyun Merchant Alliance" area, the number of Lingshan blessed land of various grades is highly dense. A mountain, a lake, and a river beach and grassland all contain spiritual veins.

And in these places where there are spiritual veins, the utilization rate of spiritual veins has reached an astonishing level.

There are usually large orchards and medicine gardens on the top of Lingshan. There are many low-level monks, Lingzhifu, who work hard every day to serve those spiritual fruit and medicine in the orchards and medicine gardens.

In the lake, there are a large number of aquatic spirit beasts. The lake is planted with lotus, water chestnut and other aquatic spirit plants on a large scale. There are low-level monks who are specially responsible for raising and caring for these spirit beasts and spirit plants. They live in a cottage by the lake. Feed deworming.

In the fertile and flat place like the river beach grassland, some first-order spiritual grasses with weak spiritual energy are planted in large quantities, and various herbivorous spiritual beasts such as cattle, sheep, deer, and horses are stocked on a large scale.

The animal meat, spiritual fruit and other spiritual things produced in these places will be received by special caravans every once in a while, and they will be transported to nearby Fangshi and Xiancheng for processing and sale.

From feeding and planting, processing and transportation, and selling on shelves, a complete immortal cultivation industry chain is clearly displayed in Zhou Yang's sight.

The Zhou family has also been doing this kind of industry chain, but compared with the industry chain established by the "Liuyun Business Alliance", the industry chain of the Zhou family is simply not worth mentioning.

From the number of types of raw materials, the number of processed varieties, the number of customer groups sold and the number of shipments, the industrial chain of the Zhou family is so pitiful.

According to Zhou Yang, after countless years of development, "Liuyun Business Alliance" has even established a part of the high-end treasure industry chain.

For example, the fourth-order elixir, the fifth-order elixir, the fourth-order elixir, and the fifth-order elixir can all be made by picking high-level elixir herbs from medicine gardens and spiritual fields in large quantities.

In Floating Cloud Immortal City, there is a huge elixir garden covering an area of ​​more than 100,000 acres, where a large number of high-level elixir can be produced every year. A number of high-level elixir gardens have been established on Lingshan, and these high-level elixir gardens can provide a large number of high-level elixir for alchemy every year.

While cultivators in other places had to go to the wilderness to find spiritual herbs and medicines in order to concoct alchemy and make talismans, the "Liuyun Merchant Alliance" has already completed a high-end industrial chain of self-produced and self-sold products.

Of course, this alone cannot afford the needs of a business alliance, so in the entire Liuyunzhou immortal cultivation world, and even in other immortal cultivation worlds, there are merchants from the "Floating Cloud Business Alliance" buying various high-end products everywhere. The raw materials are then transported back to Yunxian City for processing.

Zhou Yang, who has the memory of his past life, is very clear about the horror of this complete high-end industrial chain.

He knows that long-standing sects such as Xuanyang Xianzong, even if they want to establish such a high-end industrial chain without subjective consciousness, through the vast territory occupied by the sects, they can also produce high-end elixir, etc. on a large scale. Magic runes are used by sect monks.

But they definitely can't achieve the long-term stable mass production of "Liuyun Merchant Alliance". This can be known from Zhou Yang's many times in and out of Xuanyang Pavilion, but he didn't find how many fifth-order elixir and magic weapons were sold there.

As far as he knows, these things in Floating Cloud Immortal City can be bought with spirit stones, of course, the price will be very expensive.

Based on this alone, it is absolutely correct to say that Floating Cloud Immortal City is the most prosperous place in the Immortal Cultivation World of Floating Cloud Continent.

When Zhou Yang got closer to Floating Cloud Immortal City, he felt this even more deeply.

He is not a cultivator who has not seen the world. Although it has not been a hundred years since he formed the elixir, he has already traveled to the two great immortal worlds of Liuyun Continent and the Western Land. Eighty, he has a very simple way of judging whether a fairy city is prosperous or not.

That is to observe the monks and caravans coming and going outside Xiancheng. Those bustling Xiancheng, even if they are hundreds of thousands of miles away, no matter which direction you go, you can see many monks and caravans entering and leaving Xiancheng on the road.

Don't think that immortal cultivators have storage bags and storage rings, and think that such things as caravans do not exist.

First, how much can a storage bag hold?

And if a cultivator carries too many storage bags, can it not attract the peeps of those with ulterior motives?

Secondly, the storage bag basically has no protection. Once it encounters a battle, it is easy to be damaged. Once the storage bag is damaged, most of the contents inside will be destroyed.

This makes people afraid to put all the valuable goods in a small storage bag.

As for the storage ring, not to mention the monks who can use this kind of storage instrument, they must have at least a Zifu period cultivation base, so let a Zifu period monk take this kind of instrument to be a porter. It is not cost-effective to carry basic spiritual items such as low-level ores and spirit valleys.

Therefore, the caravan not only exists in the world of immortal cultivation, but is also extremely active.

Zhou Yang doesn't know much about Floating Cloud Immortal City, so it's hard to say much, but he knows a little bit about the situation of Xianyang City.

A large immortal city like Xianyang City with more than 100,000 cultivators consumes millions of kilograms of spiritual rice every month, which is only needed to calculate the consumption of immortal cultivators.

But in fact, many qualified monks will let some mortals in the family also eat spiritual rice to strengthen their health and prolong their life.

Ninety-nine percent of the spiritual rice consumed was purchased and transported by caravans from all over the Daoxuan Kingdom. The same materials also included various types of spiritual meat, spiritual fruit, spiritual wine and other living materials.

Since these caravans did not agree to arrive together, almost every day on the flat roads outside Xianyang City, caravans consisting of dozens or even hundreds of camel beasts could be seen.

At this moment, Zhou Yang is still two or three thousand miles away from Floating Cloud Immortal City, but if he looks down from the sky, he can see one or more merchants with different banners every few tens or ten miles. Team figure.

Among some large caravans, Zhou Yang even saw the figure of the **** monk with the cultivation base of Zifu period.

At the same time, on the way, Zhou Yang also saw the figures of cultivators who rushed to Floating Cloud Immortal City by various means, and there were even some figures of Jindan cultivators like him.

All of these confirmed the prosperity of Floating Cloud Immortal City from the side.

Another thing that made Zhou Yang insightful is that, in order to facilitate the communication between the various immortal cities and square cities in the territory, the "Liuyun Business Alliance" specially domesticates a fourth-order monster "Cloud Whale Beast" as a passenger camel The beast is controlled by the monks of the Zifu period to travel to and from the Quartet, transporting those monks in need in the various immortal cities and square cities in the territory.

Although this "cloud whale beast" is only a fourth-order monster, its body is over 100 zhang long and its back is tens of zhang wide. It looks like a whale in the sea, but it has wide membrane wings on both sides, and it is born with the ability to control airflow. The ability to enter and exit the sea of ​​​​clouds, even if flying for several days and nights without rest.

What's even better is that this "cloud whale beast" has a docile personality. As long as it is not attacked, it will not take the initiative to hurt people. After the domestication of the "cloud whale beast", even if a weak mortal stands on its back, Will express dissatisfaction, is a very good choice of camel beast.

A "Cloud Whale Beast" can fit thousands of seats on its back. Every time it goes to a "Floating Cloud Merchant Alliance" immortal city or outside Fang City, it will land down to pick up the monks who need to ride.

Since the "Cloud Whale Beast" flies faster than the Foundation Establishment cultivator and flies more smoothly, even the Foundation Establishment cultivator is willing to spend a few or a dozen spirit stones to travel on the "Cloud Whale Beast".

"Liuyun Merchant Alliance" can easily earn back the spirit stones spent on purchasing "Cloud Whale Beast" just by collecting these tolls.

Yes, these "Cloud Whale Beasts" were purchased by "Liuyun Business Alliance".

According to Zhou Yang's inquiries, the origin of the "cloud whales" is the overseas Xiuxian world, and the number of wild "cloud whales" is extremely rare. Most of the "cloud whales" in the Xiuxian world come from several overseas giants. The beast of power.

Those big overseas powers domesticate "cloud whales" and only sell males to the outside world. Even if they occasionally sell females, they are the kind of females who have lost their fertility.

Even so, not everyone can buy such a strategically valuable spiritual beast as the "Cloud Whale Beast".

In the entire Floating Cloud Continent Cultivation Realm, only the "Floating Cloud Business Alliance" spent a lot of money to buy some "Cloud Whale Beasts" from the overseas Immortal Cultivation Realm as passenger camel beasts.

The rest of the superpowers may also be able to buy them, but there is no need for that, because the "cloud whales" that leave the sea are very difficult to maintain, and they don't have the conditions of "Liuyun Merchant Alliance", they can just charge the toll. Earn these spirit stones back.

Following such a "cloud whale beast", Zhou Yang finally arrived outside Floating Cloud Immortal City at sunset one day.

In the afterglow of the setting sun, Zhou Yang looked at Liuyun Xiancheng from a high altitude, and was greatly shocked in his heart.

This immortal city is built around a sky-high peak, and the center of the city is the "Liuyun Immortal Mountain", which is known as the first spiritual mountain in the immortal cultivation world of Liuyunzhou.

Liu Yunxian Mountain is as high as 8,800 feet, towering into the clouds and reaching the sky, which is even higher than the main peak of the Broken Cloud Mountains.

This immortal mountain is in the area of ​​more than 3,000 feet, and it is covered by the formation all the year round. Only the high-level monks of the "Flowing Cloud Business Alliance" are qualified to enter the area above to practice.

And the area below 3000 meters is the core and most prosperous commercial area of ​​Floating Cloud Immortal City, where the average number of spiritual stones traded every day is said to be up to 10 million!

The commercial area is only for trading, even if there are cave dwellings, it is also used by those shop owners.

Therefore, the real residential and industrial areas of Floating Cloud Immortal City are still in the vast urban area outside the core business district.

It really is a very wide city!

The entire Floating Cloud Immortal City, surrounding the Floating Cloud Immortal Mountain in the central area, is an irregular circle, and the depth of any side of the city exceeds a thousand miles. If you count the area occupied by the Liuyun Immortal Mountain, the width of the city is almost three. Thousands of miles!

According to incomplete statistics, the number of immortal cultivators in Floating Cloud Immortal City has been maintained at more than 200,000 all the year round. About 30% of them are low-level cultivators who work for the "Floating Cloud Business Alliance", and 40% come here from travel. Of the monks, 30% are monks who live here to practice.

In addition, there are hundreds of thousands of mortals living in this vast urban area. Most of them are mortals who have some relationship with the various families in the "Liuyun Business Alliance". manual labor.

Even so, the vast urban area is still extremely empty, like the crowded and crowded situation in the mundane city, which will definitely not occur in this kind of fairy city, even the most prosperous core. The same goes for the business district.

Immortal cultivators pay great attention to private space, even if everyone knows that the city is very safe, but when walking on the street, two strange immortal cultivators will deliberately maintain a distance of more than ten feet.

This is also one of the main reasons why the immortal cities are still built so large when the number of permanent residents is obviously not large.

A big difference from other immortal cities is that Floating Cloud Immortal City does not ban empty space, nor does it charge entry fees and stay fees, and does not even need to register as a cultivator in the city, even if it is symbolic.

In other words, any cultivator can enter and leave Floating Cloud Immortal City at will.

But it doesn't mean that the security of such a Floating Cloud Immortal City is bad.

On the contrary, as an immortal city with very strong commercial attributes, Liuyun Immortal City values ​​the security of the city more than any immortal city.

In Floating Cloud Immortal City, there are surveillance circles and instruments everywhere, and there are guards patrolling everywhere.

Any cultivator who dared to hurt people in the city would be caught and punished severely, or even killed on the spot.

For thousands of years, the monks who were able to escape safely after injuring people in Floating Cloud Immortal City could count with one hand.

There was once a direct descendant of a cultivator in the Yuan Ying period of a major sect who wounded people in the city because of his identity, resisted the law and resisted arrest, and was shot dead on the spot.

And that Nascent Soul cultivator didn't even dare to take revenge at all, so he swallowed his breath abruptly.

From this, it can be seen how good the security of Floating Cloud Immortal City is.

After Zhou Yang arrived outside the city, he didn't rush into the city, but took out the "Ling Rhinoceros Jade Pendant" from the storage ring and sent a message to Taoist companion Xiao Ying.

Not long after that, a green sword light flew out from the immortal city and landed directly in front of Zhou Yang, showing Xiao Ying's pretty face full of joy.

After half an hour, Xiao Ying, whose tears were still wet, took Zhou Yang into her cave in Floating Cloud Immortal City.

This cave house is located on a fourth-order high-grade Lingshan. In a land like Floating Cloud Immortal City, the rent of such a cave house exceeds 5,000 low-grade spiritual stones every year.

"Since Senior Qingyang told the truth about the concubine, the concubine took Xuewei and the others to this Floating Cloud Immortal City, because I don't know when you will be back, husband, and the concubine waited for the news while using the alchemy technique to earn money here. Take spirit stones for daily needs."

"Now this cave is owned by the Liu family's alchemy workshop that cooperated with the concubine body, because the concubine body has mainly helped their alchemy workshop over the years, earning a lot of spirit stones for them, so I lent it to the concubine body for free. the place."

"The concubine usually lives in the cave for alchemy, while Xue Wei often takes Tongxuan and the others to practice outside. A few years ago, this girl even followed the caravan to hundreds of thousands of miles away without her concubine. It's getting more and more outrageous, and after the incident, the concubine punished her and thought about it for half a year, and then she can be considered a little restrained!"

"Husband, the concubine hasn't told her the news of your return. I'll call them over to see you in a few days."

On the jade bed in the cave, Xiao Ying leaned against Zhou Yang's arms, and whispered to him about the experience of Zhou Yang's absence in these years.

After listening to the Taoist companion's remarks, Zhou Yang suddenly whispered with guilt: "You have worked hard all these years, Ying'er, everything is your husband's fault, your husband deceived you, and your husband is sorry for you..."

"When I first heard Senior Qingyang tell the truth, my concubine was indeed full of resentment towards you, my husband, but after the incident, I calmed down and understood your husband's worries, and that you were afraid of your concubine's worry before choosing. Deception and concealment, naturally there is no hatred."

Xiao Ying spoke in a low voice, looked up at the man's guilt-filled face, raised her jade hand, and gently stroked the man's handsome face as smooth as jade, her beautiful eyes filled with mist and muttered to herself: " It’s just my husband, you and I are one, and there is nothing to say. My concubine would rather worry about and pray for my husband every day, and I don’t want my husband to deceive my concubine. knowledge!"

"No! I swear to my husband that I will never deceive you Ying'er again!"

Zhou Yang stretched out his hand and hugged the body of the Taoist companion tightly, making the two hearts of the two Taoist companions close together, and said in a firm and powerful voice: "No matter what happens in the future, my husband will face it with you, absolutely I won't leave you alone again!"

Xiao Ying said that he was worried about him. During the decades in "Qiantian Wonderland", why didn't he often worry about each other.

At that time, he was worried that Xiao Ying would not be able to leave Xianyang City in time, and would be hurt by the "Splintering Heavenly Demon" who frantically retaliate against Xuanyang Xianzong.

He was also afraid that when Xiao Ying obeyed his arrangement and returned to the Boundless Sand Sea Cultivation Realm, an accident would happen in the Broken Cloud Mountains.

This kind of fear and fear made him tortured in his heart, so he also reflected on whether his decision to conceal his deception was really appropriate.

Now that he finally reunited with Xiao Ying, listening to Xiao Ying's sincere words, he knew that he was indeed wrong.

The young couple made an oath, and soon the stagnation in their hearts melted away, and Zhou Yang also took advantage of the situation to bring up the question of Xiao Ying's formation of pills.

When he went to the "Qiantian Wonderland", Xiao Ying was already a ninth-floor cultivator of the Purple Mansion. Now that forty-five years have passed, the matter of forming an elixir cannot be delayed any longer.

"When Senior Qingyang handed back your husband's storage ring, he said that he handed over a copy of the [Jade Liquid Gold Pill] to his concubine in accordance with your agreement with your husband. Don't use it lightly, and in the past few years, the concubine has always been worried about your husband, and has no intention of seclusion."

As Xiao Ying spoke, she took two storage rings from her jade hand and handed them over to Zhou Yang, so that they could be returned to their original owners.

"Floating Cloud Immortal City is a good place, Ying'er, it's safer for you to form Dan here than anywhere else."

"As for those spirits that form pills, you don't have to worry, my husband will prepare them for you. We have spirit stones now, so I'm not afraid that we can't afford these things!"

Zhou Yang took the storage ring and put it on, clapped a few storage rings on his hand with a big face, and took the matter of helping the Taoist partner to form a pill in one slap.

"What my husband said is that as long as there are spirit stones in Floating Cloud Immortal City, you can buy anything. It happens that the concubine has a good relationship with Liu's Danfang. You might as well ask them to help buy these things. They are local snakes. Buying these things is definitely better than It’s much easier for us to buy it ourselves.”

Xiao Ying pursed her lips and smiled. She was also very heart-warming and helpful to the man's arrogance and willingness to spend a lot of money on her. She couldn't help but express her opinion with a smile.

Zhou Yang knew from her previous statement that the Liu Family Danfang was a formal member of the "Liuyun Merchant Alliance" and the property of the Liu Family of Hongliuhe River.

This Liu family has only joined the "Liuyun Business Alliance" for more than a thousand years, and their qualifications are not very old. There are one Jindan stage monk and five Zifu stage monks in their clan, and they control a large-scale workshop outside. The city's "Luoyanfang" is mainly engaged in all kinds of elixir and elixir business.

The Liu family's alchemy workshop is the most important property of the Liu family in Floating Cloud Immortal City. Originally, only a fourth-tier middle-grade alchemist from the Liu family was in charge. In a place like Floating Cloud Immortal City, the small Liu family's alchemy workshop could barely survive. To say how much money is made, but not necessarily.

However, after Xiao Ying, who had been promoted to the fourth-rank high-grade alchemist, joined the elixir, the elixir produced by Liu's Danfang finally gained some fame in Floating Cloud Immortal City, and won a certain reputation in the circle of some Zifu period monks. .

Because of this, UU reading www. uukanshu. com Liu Jiacai is willing to lend this fourth-order high-grade cave mansion to Xiao Ying to live in, in order to win her over to work for Liu's Danfang for a long time.

Xiao Ying really wanted to buy an auxiliary pill, and asked the Liu family to help buy it. It was indeed a good move. At least the Liu family definitely hoped that she could form a golden pill in one fell swoop, and then help Liu's pill shop to earn more spirit stones. .

However, the most gratifying thing for Zhou Yang is that Xiao Ying has finally experienced it.

To know this kind of thing, Xiao Ying, who had just gone to the boundless sand sea with him to cultivate the immortal world, would definitely not be able to do it.

He nodded lightly with a look of relief on his face and said:

"Also, since you trust the Liu family, Ying'er, let them do this. As a husband's identity is sensitive, even if you have a mask to hide your identity, it's not good to get too close to you, so as not to let people guess through you. The real identity of the husband."

"Next, my husband will rent a fifth-order cave in Floating Cloud Immortal City as a temporary practice place, and buy some useful spiritual items by the way. If you can buy a few copies of [Purple Heart Chalcedony], it will be even better. It's gone!"
