Drunk Immortal Gourd

There was no words for the night. The next morning, after Qingyang and Lu Dingshan met, they came to Chen Biwang's residence together. Senior Brother Chen has been waiting for a long time. Besides him, there is also a young man in his early thirties who only has the first level of Qi Refining. He should be the Tao family that Senior Brother Chen mentioned.

After everyone gathered together, they left the outer courtyard and headed towards the mountain gate of Qingfeng Palace. The four of them walked and chatted, and Qingyang and Lu Dingshan soon had a detailed understanding of the Tao family's affairs.

The head of the Tao family is named Tao Youcheng. He is about sixty years old and is at the third level of Qi refining. In addition to Tao Youcheng, there are two other qi refining monks in the Tao family. One is Tao Youcheng's younger brother Tao Yougong, who is at the second level of qi refining. The other is Tao Youcheng's son Tao Zhengyou, the young man next to him who is at the first level of Qi Refining. The rest of the Tao family are all at the Pulse Opening level.

The Tao Youcheng brothers have limited qualifications. They are nearly sixty years old and are still in the early stages of Qi refining. Therefore, they have long given up hope for their future and devoted all their energy to their son Tao Zhengyou. That is why Tao Zhengyou died at such a young age. Breakthrough to the Qi refining stage.

Unexpectedly, something unexpected happened half a year ago. The head of the family, Tao Youcheng, accidentally heard that a treasure was born in a dangerous place. He took several Tao family members to hunt for the treasure, but they were trapped inside.

After receiving the news that the head of the family was trapped, the Tao family spent a huge amount of money and organized many monks to rescue him. However, no one was rescued, and all the people who rescued him got into trouble inside. It will be more difficult to find someone after that. On the one hand, the Tao family cannot afford such a high price, and on the other hand, it is also the result of saving people before, which makes most monks daunted.

In desperation, Tao Zhengyou remembered that the ancestors of the Tao family had some connection with Qingfeng Palace, so he traveled thousands of miles to Qingfeng Palace, and finally asked Qingxin Sanren, the head of the outer courtyard, to ask for help. He hoped that Qingfeng Palace could send a few people for the sake of Wuxin Sanren in the past. Individuals went over to help save people.

Everyone has heard what happened once from Uncle Qi, and now that they hear Tao Zhengyou tell it in person, their understanding of the matter becomes more clear. It took several months to go back and forth from Yongzhou to Qingfeng Palace. If he hadn't been desperate, Tao Zhengyou would not have come all the way to Qingfeng Palace. It can be seen that there is really no other way.

Seeing that Wuxin Sanren was once the head of the outer courtyard of Qingfeng Palace, and seeing Tao Zhengyou's filial piety, he would do anything to help him this time.

The four of them walked and chatted, and soon they left the gate of Qingfeng Palace and headed towards Yongzhou. The cultivation level of the four of them is not high enough to fly with a sword. As for flying spiritual beasts, not to mention that Qingfeng Temple does not have them, even if they do, they cannot afford to rent them, so they can only rely on two legs to travel.

It is 20,000 miles from Qingfeng Palace to Yongzhou. If an ordinary person were to travel, it would probably take nearly a year to cover such a long distance with stops and starts. Fortunately, all four of them have reached the Qi Refining Stage, so they can travel several times faster than ordinary people. They can walk at least three to four hundred miles a day. If there are no delays on the way, the distance of 20,000 miles will be enough in two months.

Because there was something on their minds, Tao Zhengyou was worried about his father, while Qingyang and Lu Dingshan were looking forward to returning to Liangzhou after finishing the matter, so everyone hurried on the road very fast.

There are very few monks walking in the secular world. Zhongzhou, where Qingfeng Temple is located, is relatively prosperous. You can often see some casual cultivators working alone. After leaving Zhongzhou, there are fewer and fewer monks outside. Not a single monk in sight.

The four of them encountered no interference along the way. Two months passed before they knew it, and they gradually entered Yongzhou.

Yongzhou is indeed a desolate place. Not only are there few monks, there are also very few ordinary people. Every once in a while, the number of people in a secular city is pitifully small, even worse than that of Liangzhou. If compared with some places in Zhongzhou, the Fucheng in Yongzhou sometimes cannot even compare with some towns.

As for the monks, they were even rarer. I couldn't see one for more than ten days in a row. It wasn't until I approached Tujiao City, the only large city of casual cultivators in Yongzhou, that I met more and more monks.

Tujiao City was established no shorter than Yuling City. It is said that a long, long time ago, there lived a monster in the mountains nearby that was about to evolve into a dragon. Later, this monster was slaughtered by a powerful monk because of its many evil deeds. From then on, this large city of casual cultivators was named Tujiao City.

Maybe it's a very suitable place for monster beasts to survive, or maybe there are too many monks in other places, and the monster beasts on the Jiuzhou Continent are forced here. In short, there are many monster beasts near Tujiao City. There are many monsters and beasts, which will naturally attract monks to come here to make a living. As long as they are willing to take risks, they can always gain something, so Tujiao City gradually developed into its current scale.

The situation in Tujiao City is similar to Yuling City in Liangzhou. Although the number of monks is smaller, the total number may only be half of that in Yuling City, but because they often fight monsters and beasts, the quality of the monks here is better than that in Yuling City. , Tian Shengcai’s good relationship with Qingyang came from here.

After traveling nearly 20,000 miles in one go and not repairing for two consecutive months, even an iron man couldn't bear it. After arriving at Tujiao City, the four of them stopped here and rested for three days.

Taking advantage of their free time, Qingyang, Lu Dingshan, and Chen Biwang also went shopping in Tujiao City's market, but didn't find anything eye-catching. The market here is not comparable to that of Qingfeng Palace. The only thing that is richer is monster materials, and the price is very cheap. If you buy some here, you can earn a lot more spiritual stones when you return to Qingfeng Palace in the future.

It's just that Qingyang had used up all his spiritual stones when he came, and he was reluctant to exchange other good things for monster materials. It took a lot of energy to buy and sell them, so Qingyang just looked at them casually and didn't look at them. What to buy here, Lu Dingshan and Chen Biwang each bought a lot.

Three days later, the four people continued to set off, leaving Tujiao City and heading north. They walked for another seven or eight days before arriving at Yongliang Mansion in Yongzhou. If Yongzhou is the most desolate state in the entire Jiuzhou continent, then Yongliang Mansion is the Yongzhou of the entire Yongzhou.

At this time, not to mention monks, even ordinary people are difficult to meet. I don’t know what the Tao family thought at the beginning, and they would move to such a place. No wonder it only took a hundred years to reach the late stage of foundation building. The Tao family of monks has fallen into this state.

In a small mountain valley dozens of miles away from Yongliang Mansion, the four of them finally arrived at their destination, the Tao family. It didn't look like a family that cultivated immortals, but more like an earthen manor in the countryside. In the middle are dozens of houses surrounded by a courtyard, and on the outside are patches of farmland, extending all the way to the outside of the mountain col.
