Cultivation Begins From The Desert

If you want to ask where is the most prosperous place in the world of cultivating immortals in Liuyunzhou, all the monks in the world of cultivating immortals in Liuyunzhou will say it is the city of Liuyun.

But in fact, Liuyun Xiancheng has developed to the present, and it is not just a simple fairy city, but a super powerful force relying on Liuyun Xiancheng as its core.

This big force is not as vast as the "Tiandao League" and "Xuanqing Dao League". It is a commercial alliance with Liuyun Xiancheng as its core, consisting of 28 fairy cities and more than 100 square cities. Known as the "Liuyun Merchant Alliance" by the outside world

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 spiritual objects below the sixth level, including many unique treasures from other immortal worlds.

Even in Liuyunxian City, there are specialty stores opened by some super powers in the world of cultivating immortals, which specialize in selling some treasures that are not available in the world of cultivating immortals in Liuyunzhou.

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

This time, taking advantage of the opportunity of reuniting with his Taoist companion Xiao Ying, he finally had a chance to taste what he wished for.

Zhou Yang has already fully felt the prosperity here before arriving at the real Liuyun Immortal City.

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

Moreover, 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 opened up on Lingshan, and many low-level monks, Ling Zhifu, work hard every day in the orchards and medicine gardens to cultivate those spiritual fruits and elixir.

There are a large number of aquatic spirit beasts in the lake, and lotus, water chestnut and other aquatic spirit plants are planted on a large scale on the surface of the lake. There are low-level monks who are responsible for raising and caring for these spirit beasts and spirit plants. They live in a hut by the lake, day by day Feeding deworming.

In fertile and flat places like the river beach grassland, there are a large number of first-order spiritual grasses with weak auras planted, on which cattle, sheep, deer, horses and other herbivorous spirit beasts are raised on a large scale.

Animal meat, spiritual fruits and other spiritual objects produced in these places will be received by special caravans every once in a while, and will be transported to nearby Fangshi and Xiancheng for processing and selling.

From breeding and planting, processing and transportation, to sale on shelves, a complete industrial chain of cultivating immortals was clearly displayed in Zhou Yang's sight.

The Zhou family has been doing this kind of industrial chain, but compared with the industrial chain established by the "Liuyun Merchant Alliance", the Zhou family's industrial chain is simply not worth mentioning.

From the number 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's understanding, after countless years of development, the "Liuyun Merchant Alliance" has even established a part of the high-end treasure industry chain.

For example, Tier 4 Spirit Pills, Tier 5 Spirit Pills, Tier 4 Spirit Talismans, Tier 5 Spirit Talismans, these things can all be refined in large quantities from the medicinal gardens and spiritual fields to pick high-level elixir herbs.

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

While monks in other places have to go to the wilderness to find spiritual herbs and elixir in order to make alchemy and talismans, the "Liuyun Merchant Alliance" has completed a high-end industrial chain of self-production and self-sale.

Of course, this alone cannot afford the needs of a business alliance, so there are merchants from the "Liuyun Merchant Alliance" everywhere in the entire Liuyunzhou Immortal Cultivation World, and even in other immortal cultivation worlds, buying all kinds of high-end products. The raw materials are then transported back to Liuyun Fairy City for processing.

Zhou Yang, who has the memories of his previous life, is extremely aware of the horror of this complete high-end industrial chain.

He knew that the sects with a long history such as Xuanyang Xianzong, even if they did not want to establish such a high-end industrial chain without subjective consciousness, through the vast territory occupied by the sect, they could also produce high-level elixir, The talisman is used by monks of the sect.

But they will definitely not be able to produce such a long-term stable mass production of the "Liuyun Merchant Alliance". This can be known from the fact that Zhou Yang has entered and exited the Xuanyang Pavilion many times, but has not found how many fifth-order elixir and magic weapons are sold there.

As far as he knew, these things could be bought with spirit stones in Liuyun Immortal City. Of course, the price would be very expensive.

Based on this alone, it is absolutely correct to say that Liuyun Immortal City is the most prosperous place in the world of cultivating immortals in Liuyunzhou.

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

He is not a monk who has never seen the world. Although he has formed a pill for less than a hundred years, he has already traveled to the two major immortal worlds, Liuyunzhou Immortal Cultivation World and Extreme West Land Cultivator World. 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 the fairy city. Even if those prosperous fairy cities are hundreds of thousands of miles away, no matter which direction you go, you can see many monks and caravans entering and leaving the fairy city on the road.

Don't think that all cultivators have storage bags and storage rings, so that such things as caravans don't exist.

First of all, how much can a storage bag hold?

And if a monk carries too many storage bags on his body, can he not attract the prying eyes of those with ulterior motives?

Secondly, the storage bag basically has no protection, and it is easy to be damaged in a battle, and 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 cultivators who can use this kind of storage magic weapon, they must have at least the purple mansion stage cultivation base, let a purple mansion stage monk carry this magic weapon to be a porter, It is not cost-effective to move basic spiritual objects such as low-level ore and spiritual grains in terms of value.

So caravans not only exist in the world of cultivating immortals, but they are also extremely active.

Zhou Yang didn't know much about Liuyun Xiancheng, so he didn't know much about it, but he had some understanding of the situation in Xianyang City.

A large fairy city like Xianyang City with more than 100,000 monks consumes millions of catties of spiritual rice every month, which is only calculated for the consumption of immortal cultivators.

But in fact, many qualified monks will let some mortal descendants in their families also eat spiritual rice to strengthen their health and prolong their lifespan.

Ninety-ninety percent of these consumed spiritual rice were bought and transported by caravans from all over the Daoxuan Kingdom. The same materials also included various living materials such as spiritual meat, spiritual fruit, and spiritual wine.

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

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

In some large caravans, Zhou Yang even saw escort monks with Zifu stage cultivation.

At the same time, on the way, Zhou Yang also saw monks rushing to Liuyun Immortal City through various means, and there were even some Golden Core stage monks like him among them.

All of these have confirmed the prosperity of Liuyun Immortal City from the side.

Another thing that Zhou Yang has learned a lot is that in order to facilitate the communication between various fairy cities and square cities in the territory, the "Liuyun Merchant Alliance" specially domesticated a fourth-order monster "Cloud Whale" as a passenger camel. The beast is controlled by the cultivators of Zifuqi to travel around, transporting the cultivators in need in various fairy cities and square cities in the territory.

Although this "cloud whale beast" is only a fourth-order monster, its body is more than a hundred feet long and its back is tens of feet 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 and fly. The ability to fly in and out of the sea of ​​clouds, even flying for days and nights without rest.

What's even better is that this "cloud whale beast" has a gentle personality. As long as it is not attacked, it will not take the initiative to hurt people. After the domesticated "cloud whale beast", even a weak mortal standing on its back will not It will show dissatisfaction, which is a very good choice for camel beasts.

A "cloud whale beast" can accommodate thousands of seats on its back, and every time it arrives outside a fairy city or square city of the "flowing cloud business alliance", it will land to pick up monks who need to take a ride.

Because the "Cloud Whale Beast" flies faster and more smoothly than the Foundation Establishment cultivators, even the Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators are willing to spend a few or a dozen spirit stones to take the "Cloud Whale Beast" on their way.

"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 all purchased by the "Liuyun Merchant Alliance".

According to Zhou Yang's inquiries, the origin of the "cloud whale beast" is the overseas world of cultivating immortals, and the number of wild "cloud whale beasts" is extremely rare. Most of the "cloud whale beasts" in the world of cultivating immortals come from several overseas big The zoo of power.

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

Even so, not everyone can buy a spirit beast of great strategic value like the "Cloud Whale Beast".

In the entire Liuyunzhou Immortal Cultivation World, only the "Liuyun Merchant Alliance" spent a lot of money to buy some "Cloud Whale Beasts" from the overseas Immortal Cultivation World to use as passenger camel beasts.

Other super powers may also be able to buy it, but there is no need for that, because the "cloud whale beast" that leaves the sea is very expensive to maintain, and they do not have the conditions of the "flowing cloud merchant alliance", so they can do it just by collecting tolls. Earn these spirit stones back.

Following such a "cloud whale beast", Zhou Yang finally rushed to the outside of Liuyun Fairy City at sunset one day.

Under the afterglow of the setting sun, Zhou Yang gazed at Liuyun Fairy City from a high altitude, and was greatly shocked in his heart.

This fairy city was built around a sky-reaching peak, and the center of the city was the "Liuyun Fairy Mountain", known as the first spiritual mountain in the world of cultivating immortals in Liuyunzhou.

Liuyun Fairy Mountain is 8,800 feet high, soaring into the sky and piercing into the sky, it is even higher than Jietian Peak, the main peak of Duanyun Mountain Range.

This fairy mountain is in an area above three thousand feet, and it is covered and covered by formations all year round. Only high-level monks of the "Liuyun Merchant Alliance" are eligible to enter the upper area to practice.

The area below three thousand feet is the core and busiest commercial area of ​​Liuyun Immortal City, where the average number of spirit stones traded every day is said to reach tens of millions!

The commercial area is only for trading purposes, even if there are Dongfu residences, they are also used by those shop owners.

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

It really is an extremely vast urban area!

The entire Liuyunxian City, surrounding the Liuyunxian Mountain in the central area, has an irregular circular shape, and the depth of any side of the urban area exceeds a thousand miles. If the area occupied by the Liuyunxian Mountain is counted, the width of the urban area must be close to three. thousands of miles!

According to incomplete statistics, the number of immortal cultivators in Liuyun Fairy City has been maintained at more than 200,000 all year round, of which about 30% are low-level monks who work for the "Liuyun Merchant Alliance", and 40% are here from travel. Among the monks, 30% are monks who have settled 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 various families in the "Liuyun Business Alliance". They can live in the urban area and do the dirty work that those cultivators are unwilling to do manual labor.

Even so, the vast urban area still appears to be extremely empty, like the traffic and crowds in ordinary cities, which will definitely not happen in this kind of fairy city, even in the most prosperous core. The same goes for business districts.

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

This is also one of the main reasons why each fairy city has built such a large fairy city even though the number of permanent residents is obviously small.

What is very different from other immortal cities is that Liuyun Immortal City is not forbidden to be empty, and does not charge entry fees or detention fees, and does not even need to register as a monk to enter the city, even if it is symbolic.

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

But it doesn't mean that the law and order of such a floating cloud fairy city is bad.

On the contrary, as a fairy city with strong commercial attributes, Liuyun Fairy City valued the security of the city more than any other fairy city.

In Liuyun Immortal City, there are monitoring circles and magic weapons everywhere, and there are city guards patrolling everywhere.

Any monk who dared to hurt others in the city would be captured and severely punished, or even killed on the spot.

For thousands of years, the monks who were able to escape safely after hurting people in Liuyun Immortal City could be counted on one hand.

There was once a direct descendant of a Yuanying stage monk of the sect who used his identity to hurt people in the city, resisting the law and resisting arrest, but was shot dead on the spot.

But the Nascent Soul cultivator didn't dare to have the slightest thought of revenge in the end, so he swallowed this breath abruptly.

From this, it can be seen how good the law and order in Liuyun Immortal City is.

After Zhou Yang arrived outside the city, he was not in a hurry to enter the city. Instead, he took out the "Spiritual Rhinoceros Jade Pendant" from his storage ring and sent a message to his Taoist companion Xiao Ying.

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

Half an hour later, Xiao Ying, whose face was still wet from tears, brought Zhou Yang into her cave in Liuyun Immortal City.

This cave is located on a fourth-level high-grade spiritual mountain. In a place like Liuyun Xiancheng, where every inch of land is expensive, the annual rent of such a cave alone exceeds five thousand low-grade spirit stones.

"Since senior Qingyang told me the truth, I brought Xuewei and the others to this Liuyun fairy city, because I don't know when your husband will come back, so I waited for the news while using alchemy to make money here. Take spirit stones to supply daily needs."

"Now this cave was originally owned by Liu's alchemy workshop, which I cooperated with, because I have mainly helped them make alchemy in the alchemy workshop over the years, and earned a lot of spirit stones for them, so I lent it to my concubine for free. place."

"The concubine usually lives in the cave to practice alchemy, Xuewei often takes Tong Xuan and the others to practice outside. A few years ago, this girl followed the caravan without telling the concubine to places hundreds of thousands of miles away. It became more and more shameless, and afterward, the concubine punished her to face the wall and think for half a year before she was able to restrain herself a little!"

"Husband, I haven't told her the news of your return. I will call them to visit you in a few days."

On the jade bed in the cave mansion, Xiao Ying leaned against Zhou Yang's arms, and whispered to him slowly about Zhou Yang's experiences in the past few years.

After listening to the Taoist couple's narration, Zhou Yang immediately said in a low voice with guilt on his face: "You have worked so hard all these years, Yinger, everything is my husband's fault, because my husband lied to you, because my husband is sorry for you..."

"When Senior Qingyang told the truth for the first time, I was indeed full of resentment towards you, but afterward, I calmed down and understood your worries. Deceiving and concealing, naturally there will be no hatred."

Xiao Ying spoke in a low voice, looked up at the man's face full of guilt, raised her jade hand, and gently stroked the man's handsome face as smooth as jade, and muttered to herself with mist in her beautiful eyes: " It’s just my husband, you and I are one, there is nothing to say, I would rather worry about you every day, pray for you every day, and I don’t want you to deceive me, if something happens to you, I don’t even know why you have an accident Know!"

"No more! I swear to my husband, I will never lie to Ying'er again in the future!"

Zhou Yang stretched out his hand and hugged the Taoist couple's body tightly, making the two hearts of the Taoist couple stick together tightly, and said in a firm and forceful 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 she was worried about him. In the past few decades in "Qingtian Wonderland", why didn't he often worry about the other party.

At that time, he was worried that Xiao Ying would be hurt by the "Innocence Splitter" who crazily took revenge on Xuanyang Xianzong if she failed to leave Xianyang City in time.

He was also afraid that something would happen to Xiao Ying in the Broken Cloud Mountain Range when Xiao Ying followed his arrangement and returned to the Immortal Cultivation Realm in the Boundless Sand Sea.

This kind of fear made him suffer a lot in his heart, so he also reflected on whether his decision to conceal and deceive 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 a vow of eternal alliance, and soon the knots in their hearts melted away, and Zhou Yang also took advantage of the opportunity to bring up the issue of Xiao Ying's alchemy.

When he went to the "Qiongtian Wonderland", Xiao Ying was already at the ninth level of the Purple Mansion. Now that forty-five years have passed, the matter of forming the alchemy is urgent and cannot be delayed any longer.

"When Senior Qingyang handed over your storage ring to your husband, he said that it was in accordance with the agreement with you, and at the same time handed over a copy of [Jade Liquid Golden Elixir] to my concubine. Don't use it lightly, and secondly, in these years, I have always been worried about you, my husband, and I have no intention of retreating to form alchemy."

While talking, Xiao Ying took off two storage rings from the jade hand and handed them to Zhou Yang to make them return to their original owners.

"Liuyun Xiancheng is a good place, Ying'er, you are safer here than anywhere else."

"As for those spiritual objects that form alchemy, you don't have to worry, my husband will prepare them for you. We have enough spiritual stones now, so we may not be able to afford them!"

Zhou Yang took the storage rings and put them on, and patted the storage rings on his hands with magnanimity, and took over the matter of helping the Taoist couple form alchemy in one gulp.

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

Xiao Ying pursed her lips and smiled, she was also very heartwarming about the man's act of throwing a lot of money for her with such arrogance, she couldn't help expressing her opinion with a smile.

Zhou Yang already knew from her previous statement that the Liu's Danfang she was talking about was an official member of the "Liuyun Merchant Alliance" and the property of the Hongliuhe Liu family.

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

Liu's Danfang is the most important industry of the Liu family in Liuyunxian City. Originally, there was only a fourth-rank middle-grade alchemist of the Liu family in charge. In a place like Liuyunxiancheng, the small Liu's Danfang could barely survive. How much money to say but not necessarily.

However, after Xiao Ying, who has been promoted to the fourth-rank top-grade alchemist, joined, the elixir produced by Liu's Danfang finally gained some fame in Liuyunxian City, and won a certain reputation among some cultivators in the Zifu period. .

It is precisely because of this that the Liu family is willing to lend this fourth-tier high-grade cave to Xiao Ying to live in, in order to win her to work for Liu's Danfang for a long time.

Xiao Ying really wanted to buy something that would assist the formation of alchemy. It was indeed a good move to ask the Liu family to come forward to help buy it. At least the Liu family must hope that she can form a golden elixir in one fell swoop, and then help Liu's elixir workshop earn more spiritual stones. .

However, the most gratifying thing for Zhou Yang was that Xiao Ying finally came out of the experience, knew how to make the best use of everything, and rationally used the network resources in her hands.

To know this kind of thing, Xiao Ying, who just went to the world of cultivating immortals in the boundless sand sea with him, would definitely not be able to do it.

With a look of relief on his face, he nodded lightly and said:

"Alright, since you trust the Liu family, Ying'er, let them do this. As your husband's identity is sensitive, even though you have a mask to cover up your identity, it's not good to get too close to you, lest people pass your guess. The true identity of the husband."

"Next, my husband will rent a fifth-level cave in Liuyun Xiancheng as a temporary place to practice, and buy some useful spiritual objects by the way. It would be even better if we can buy a few copies of [Purple Heart Chalcedony] Already!"
