Cultivation: I have an inventory

Chapter 123 Settling down, new neighbors

"Senior, even if it's his first time here, he must have some understanding of the basic situation of Liyang Immortal City."

"The Immortal City was founded by Zhenren Liyang more than 160 years ago. It was not so large at the beginning. The initial scale was only about one-third of what it is today."

"The Fairy City has undergone four expansions, and it was only thirty years ago that the current layout was completely formed."

"Liyang Immortal City is a city of casual cultivators. It accepts monks from all walks of life. No matter what sect or force they are, as long as they come to Liyang Immortal City and abide by the rules, the Immortal City will not drive them away. So strictly speaking, even if they are Jie Xiu, as long as his identity is not exposed, Xiancheng will not specifically investigate..."

The monk who acted as a tour guide for Xiao Changqing and the others lowered his voice and talked about some secret rules of Liyang Fairy City.

"The security of the Immortal City is very good, because fighting is absolutely prohibited in the Immortal City, and even the fake elixir masters dare not do it openly... However, you still need to be careful. After all, in this huge Liyang Immortal City, there are hidden dragons and crouching tigers, and no one can Do you know how many vicious and evil people are hidden..."

"However, the senior is a great monk at the Foundation Establishment Realm, so there is basically no danger in Liyang Fairy City."

"The most powerful person in Liyang Immortal City and the one who cannot be provoked is naturally the City Lord's Mansion. In addition to Liyang Zhenren, the number one casual cultivator in the world of immortal cultivation in Yu, the City Lord's Mansion also has the 'Seven Heroes of Liyang', which refers to Li Yang. Yang Zhenren’s seven most outstanding disciples!”

"Among them, 'Guangqin Zhenren' is the strongest, and he is Jiedan Zhenren. In addition, there are two fake Danzhenren."

"The rest are also monks who have perfected the Foundation Establishment and are expected to form elixirs in the future."

"Of course, Master Li Yang has not only accepted these seven disciples over the past hundreds of years. The total number of disciples of Master Li Yang is more than thirty. In addition to those who died young, there are also more than twenty people. All of them are Foundation Establishment monks.”

"So the City Lord's Mansion maintains the order of the Immortal City, and no one dares to mess around."

"In addition to the City Lord's Mansion, the ten major families are closely followed. For these ten major families, either the family itself has a fake elixir master in charge, or they have a fake elixir master behind them, or they have a close relationship with the city lord's mansion. …”

"In short, in Liyang Immortal City, ordinary cultivators would never dare to offend the ten major families. According to statistics, the ten major families account for nearly 60% of the entire Immortal City's industry!"

"For example, the beast-controlling Liu family has almost monopolized the spirit beast market in Liyang Fairy City. The Liu family does not have a third-order beast king, but they have several peak second-order spirit beasts. Each of them has extraordinary combat power, no less than Zhu. "The great monk of Ji Zhencheng."

"Another example is Lingfu Pavilion, which occupies half of the talisman market in Liyang Fairy City. Behind it is the 'Jiang Family', which became one of the top ten families more than ten years ago. Not only does the Jiang family have fake elixirs behind it, but there are also Li people in the Jiang family. The only third-level Talisman Master in Yangxian City, and many second-level Talisman Masters..."

Hear this.

Xiao Changqing's eyes, which were originally carefree, changed slightly.

Lingfu Pavilion? Jiang family?

Only became one of the top ten families more than ten years ago?

In his mind, he naturally thought of shopkeeper Hong and Hong Jiantao who had helped him when he was at his weakest when he was young.

When Shopkeeper Hong left Nanshanfang and took his niece Jiang Jiyue to Liyang Fairy City, Xiao Changqing initially thought it was the Luoxia Sect's arrangement.

But later I learned from Gong Wansheng that after Shopkeeper Hong arrived in Liyang Fairy City, it was equivalent to cutting off from the Luoxia Sect and establishing his own branch.

What Xiao Changqing didn't expect was that Shopkeeper Hong would develop the Lingfu Pavilion into one of the top ten families in Liyang Fairy City?

Occupying half of the market in Liyang Fairy City, even if it is not as good as Lingfu Pavilion's position in Nanshanfang, it is not far behind.

'However, even if Shopkeeper Hong hid a lot back then and broke through to the level of the second-level Talisman Master early, he still wouldn't be able to become a third-level Talisman Master. In addition to their attainments in talisman skills, Qi Refining Realm monks also have too weak magical power. Even with the help of high-level talisman pens, it is impossible to draw third-level talismans. ’

Xiao Changqing thought in his heart.

It seems that the Jiang family already has masters of Fu Dao.

‘Jiang family…Jiang Jiyue? ’

Xiao Changqing thought of Jiang Jiyue, who was very talented in Fu Dao when he was in Nanshanfang Lingfu Pavilion, and was very popular and friendly to others.

When he left Nanshanfang, Xiao Changqing knew that she was shopkeeper Hong's niece.

‘It seems that there is a high probability that Shopkeeper Hong has a close relationship with the Jiang family. Jiang Jiyue is probably from the Jiang family. ’

‘I just don’t know what the relationship is between the Jiang family and the Luoxia Sect. ’

‘Who is the fake elixir behind the Jiang family now? ’

Many thoughts flashed through Xiao Changqing's mind without being revealed.

When the Lin sisters heard the guide's introduction, they also cast surprised and questioning glances at Xiao Changqing. Xiao Changqing also shook his head slightly at the two of them, signaling them to keep quiet.

When he came to Liyang Immortal City, he did not come to seek refuge with Shopkeeper Hong.

Shopkeeper Hong had given him selfless help and guidance when he was at his weakest, and he would always remember this kindness in his heart.

I will definitely repay the favor if I have the opportunity in the future.

But now there is no need for him to go to Shopkeeper Hong. Even Fu Lu is not his main source of income now.

He might still have a lot of troubles going on right now, so there's no need to go to Jiang's house.

"Senior, you are a foundation-building monk and a second-level talisman master. If you are interested in the Jiang family and want to join the Jiang family, I think the Jiang family will definitely welcome you. If senior is interested in the Jiang family, maybe I Can you recommend me, I happen to know a steward of the Jiang family..." the guide asked cautiously.

If they could introduce a second-level talisman master of the foundation-building realm to the Jiang family, the Jiang family would certainly not treat him unfairly.

He would be soaring to the sky.

Unfortunately, Xiao Changqing shook his head and said, "No need."

The guide felt a little discouraged, but he didn't dare to show it.

If this foundation-building senior was dissatisfied, it would be a loss.

Xiao Changqing and the other two followed the guide to stroll around the fairy city for nearly an hour, and saw the prosperity and extraordinaryness of the city. They watched and even went into many large shops to experience it, which was eye-opening.

In the afternoon, they finally started to look for caves suitable for the three of them to live in.

With a full budget, it is not difficult to find a suitable cave.

Liyang Fairy City has a large population, and the levels of caves are naturally more, unlike Nanshanfang, which is simply divided into four levels of A, B, C, and D.

Here, except for the top-level third-level caves, which are not open to the public for long-term residence.

The rest ranged from the first-grade lower-grade places similar to shantytowns to the second-grade upper-grade manor caves, with a total of more than thirty areas.

In the end, Xiao Changqing rented a cave located in the core area of ​​the Immortal City with a spiritual vein level of the second-grade upper-grade at the price of two thousand lower-grade spirit stones a year.

It was very good in all aspects. Although the area was a little smaller than the Nanshanfang Jiayi Cave, it was much better in terms of detailed layout, formation, and various functional divisions.

But the price was also expensive enough.

Two thousand lower-grade spirit stones a year, an average of more than 160 lower-grade spirit stones a month.

If it was some cultivators in the early stage of foundation building, and they didn't have any special skills, they might only earn two or three thousand lower-grade spirit stones a year!

So this cave, ordinary foundation-building cultivators definitely can't afford to live in.

In fact, the cultivators living in this area are either late-stage foundation-building cultivators or have a second-grade skill.

Xiao Changqing did not hide his identity as a second-grade talisman master, so it was reasonable for him to live in a cave of this level.

After signing the contract and paying the spirit stones, Xiao Changqing officially settled down in Liyang Immortal City.

In the next two days, the Lin sisters were busy taking care of all aspects of the new cave house. The general idea was to re-plan the layout according to the Jiayi Cave House in Nanshanfang.

For example, Xiao Changqing needed a talisman painting room, Lin Ziyu needed an alchemy room and a small spiritual field in the yard to plant spiritual medicine, and Lin Zixi wanted to build a nest for her spirit beast "Red Flame Eagle".

It took three days to finish the arrangement.

Then Xiao Changqing brought gifts to visit neighbors.

Each family had a first-level upper-grade talisman.

According to the price of Liyang Immortal City, a first-level upper-grade talisman was worth twenty lower-grade spirit stones, which was about the same as the price of Nanshanfang.

For a cultivator in the Qi Refining Realm, this was a great gift, and for a foundation-building cultivator who lived in a place with a monthly rent of nearly two hundred lower-grade spirit stones, it was not light.

In terms of some etiquette, there was no difference between the world of immortal cultivation and the world of mortals.

Those who can live in this area have similar cultivation status and status, so it is always right to build good relationships.

It is difficult to help each other, but if there is any gossip or good news, if the relationship is good, just inform each other, and there will be no problem.

Moreover, Xiao Changqing has just arrived and has a general understanding of the basic situation of Liyang Xiancheng. But some deeper secrets must not be known by the guide who was only at the third level of Qi Refining last time, and he needs to slowly explore.

When Xiao Changqing visited with the talisman, the neighbors were very respectful and invited Xiao Changqing into the house to drink a cup of spiritual tea. Some enthusiastic and talkative people even pulled Xiao Changqing to chat.

For example, the neighbor of Xiao Changqing's house on the left is a very enthusiastic cultivator who is good at dancing with long sleeves.

This person is called Zhu Xiaochuan, and he is not young anymore, just over his 100th birthday. But the life span of a foundation-building cultivator is nearly 200 years old, which is not considered old.

However, his cultivation is still at the initial stage of foundation building. He can live in the cave in this area because he has the second-level lower-grade formation attainment.

Formation masters are not unpopular in the hundred arts of cultivating immortals, but they are far less popular than alchemists, talisman masters, and weapon refiners, and they earn much less.

According to Zhu Xiaochuan, the reason why he can live here is that he participated in the last city renovation of Liyang Xiancheng thirty years ago and contributed a lot of strength when setting up the city defense formation. Liyang Zhenren thought of the goodness of these formation masters and promised that as long as they live in Liyang Xiancheng for a long time, the price of renting a cave will only be half of the price!

Moreover, according to Zhu Xiaochuan, he also has a deep relationship in the city lord's mansion and can enter and exit the city lord's mansion at will.

Xiao Changqing didn't know whether this new neighbor was bragging or telling the truth, but he was definitely pretending. Xiao Changqing didn't refute it, but just smiled and complimented him, cooperated with him to pretend, and asked for some information by the way.

After all, other neighbors are not as talkative as Zhu Xiaochuan.

Zhu Xiaochuan didn't know Xiao Changqing's purpose, but he felt that Xiao Changqing's cooperative attitude made him feel very accomplished.

So as he talked, he couldn't help it. Xiao Changqing didn't gossip, and he began to reveal more information.

For example, his backer in the City Lord's Mansion was a disciple who was highly regarded by Li Yang Zhenren, named Gu Zongyuan.

Although Gu Zongyuan was not one of the "Seven Heroes of Li Yang", he also had the cultivation of the late foundation building, and he was not even a hundred years old, so he might not have no hope of forming a pill in the future.

The most important thing is that Liyang Zhenren practices in seclusion all year round and does not care about secular affairs; except for the two fake elixir masters, the most famous "Liyang Seven Heroes" under his command, their cultivation has been finalized and cannot go further, so they mainly focus on managing Liyang. Above Yangxian City...

In addition, Gu Zongyuan is equivalent to being the third person in charge of transactions among the managers of Liyang Fairy City!

The escort team of Liyang Immortal City was led by Gu Zongyuan.

"In Xiuxianfang City, small-scale Immortal City, and even some pill-forming sects, second-level Talisman Masters can be reused. But Liyang Immortal City is different. There are too many people who are good at cultivating immortals here."

"Only when your skills break through to the third level can you stand out from the crowd."

"Second-level craftsmen, unless they have made great contributions to the fairy city like me, will be treated differently by the city lord's palace."

"So Fellow Daoist Bai, your talisman attainments are still a bit low. You are only a second-level low-grade person. The City Lord's Mansion should not take the initiative to recruit you. If Fellow Daoist Xiao, you want to take up a position in the City Lord's Mansion, I can help you introduce it, but you have to lower your salary. ”

After Zhu Xiaochuan 'introduced' his own extraordinary qualities, he began to 'point out' Xiao Changqing.

Although it sounded a bit condescending and arrogant, Xiao Changqing listened humbly.

He didn't say that he didn't want to take a job in the City Lord's Mansion, but he just said that if he had any ideas in this regard in the future, he would definitely ask Zhu Xiaochuan for help.

"Of course. Even if you, fellow Bai Daoist, don't join the City Lord's Mansion, with your cultivation at the Foundation Establishment Realm and your status as a second-level low-grade Talisman Master, there is no problem if you want to take up a position among the ten major families. They will be happy to do so, and they will also Offer a very high reward, but..."

Zhu Xiaochuan lowered his voice and began to tell some core secrets.

Xiao Changqing cheered up and began to take small notes in his mind.

That's what he wanted to know.

"If you, Master Hundred Talisman, are not particularly short of spiritual stones or are in urgent need of support, it is best not to join the top ten families."

"Although the ten major families are powerful enough in Nanshanfang, second only to the City Lord's Mansion, there are many overt and covert battles and confrontations. There are even several families that are very likely to be destroyed..."

"Although the names of the top ten families in Liyang Fairy City have lasted for more than a hundred years, they have always been there. But the specific families of the top ten families, almost half of them have been changed from the beginning to now."

"For example, ten years ago, the Jin family, one of the top ten families, their backer Fake Danzhenren fell, and the Jin family was also destroyed. It was replaced by the Jiang family, which now has a third-level talisman master..."

"Being a member of the top ten families will bring you good benefits, but at some point, you will be involved in a whirlpool, where you can't help yourself, and your life may even be in danger."

"By the way. I estimate that the Jiang family may send someone to invite you, fellow Taoist priest, to join you in the next few days. After all, you are a second-level talisman master, and the Jin family occupies more than half of the talisman market in Liyang Fairy City. I want you to join other forces.”

"If the Jiang family really invites you, Taoist friends, you must consider it carefully. The Jiang family seems to be quite good now, with a third-level talisman master, and a close relationship with Zhenren Zhao, one of the Seven Heroes of Liyang. However, the Jiang family There are also hidden dangers!”

"Few ordinary monks in Liyang Immortal City know that the Jiang family was actually separated from the Luoxia Sect, a pill-forming sect! It is equivalent to saying that the Jiang family and the Luoxia Sect are life-and-death enemies!"

When Xiao Changqing heard this, his guess was confirmed.

Shopkeeper Hong and Jiang Jiyue should be at the Jiang family now!
