I conquer the immortal with my strength

The spiritual energy in the outer city is relatively thin and turbid, and it is generally inhabited by low-level monks, as well as the local families in Evergreen City that have experienced the survival of the fittest for generations and have declined.

The ancestors of these families may have once been glorious, and were even the sect leaders and elders of the Qingyuan Sect, but they were eliminated from generation to generation and continued to branch out. The descendants of some branches lost their spiritual roots and became completely secular mortal families.

These people have the identity of Evergreen City since they were born, plus they have the blood relationship with their ancestors, so they can live in Evergreen City for free, unlike outsiders like Xia Daoming.

Wherever there are people, there are rivers and lakes.

The people in the outer city are the most mixed, and most of them are low-level monks and mortals. The law enforcers in Evergreen City do not pay much attention to it and are relatively neglectful of management, so the outer city will be relatively chaotic.

The inner city is located on the second-level spiritual vein. It has good spiritual energy and good public security. There are shops for cultivators and high-end inns and restaurants. The high-end residential areas are mainly concentrated in the inner city.

Evergreen Lake is located in the south of Evergreen City, close to Qingyuan Mountain, where the aura of Evergreen City is strongest.

Evergreen Lake is dotted with more than 20 islands.

Every island is a fine immortal cave.

However, it is not open to the public. It is said that the people living there are the powerful people from Qingyuan Sect who are stationed in Evergreen City, or the big shots of Qingyuan Sect who are tired of staying in the mountains and occasionally want to go down the mountain to stay for a while and enjoy the smell of fireworks in the world. .

Along the shore of Evergreen Lake, there are residences open to the public.

However, it is expensive, and it is difficult for monks who are not in the foundation-building stage, or whose family is rich in mining and background, to afford it.

Xia Daoming and his party followed Lou Shiyan to Yumofang first.

Lou Shiyan, Jiao Yongbao and other people from Tenglong Mansion rented a courtyard in Yumofang.

When Xia Daoming and his party arrived, Jiao Yongbao was already waiting for them at the door.

"Senior brother, it's too crowded for seven or eight of you to live in this courtyard once you enter it. Why do you need to get a second seat in the courtyard and recruit two or three servants to help with work!" Xia Daoming followed Jiao Yongbao through the door and swept the door. After one glance, he couldn't help but frown slightly.

"It's not that I don't want to, but the rent here is too high. The rent for the first time entering the courtyard costs fifty yuan for a year, and for the second time entering the courtyard, it costs eighty yuan. If we weren't worried about the chaos in the outer city, we are new here. , causing trouble, Lou Guzhu and I both want to move directly to the outer city," Jiao Yongbao said with a wry smile.

In the beginning, Xia Daoming would occasionally ask about some of the daily income and expenditure of Tenglong Mansion.

Later, the development of Tenglong Mansion gradually got on the right track. The income from the Lu family, as well as the income generated by Liu Qiaolian and Ji Wenyue, as well as the harvest from the spiritual fields in Mangzhou, the balance of payments has been able to reach a balance, and even started to have a balance. Xia Daoming Basically, they stopped asking any questions and just handed it over to the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

Therefore, Xia Daoming is not very clear about the specific income and expenditure of Jiao Yongbao and others in Evergreen City. He only knows that after half a year of opening, after deducting rent and taxes, there is already a surplus.

Only today did Xia Daoming know that renting in the courtyard would cost fifty spiritual stones a year. It is conceivable that other expenses must be high as well.

The fact that the stores in Evergreen City had a surplus so quickly was also related to the frugality of Jiao Yongbao and others.

Otherwise, in a place like this where every inch of land is precious, Jiao Yongbao and others would have to let their hands go freely. It is estimated that the elixirs and talisman arrays sold would not be enough for them to spend.

"Just entering the courtyard costs 50 yuan of spiritual stones for the first time, and 80 yuan for the second time to enter the courtyard. The rent is too expensive! We cultivate the valley, and the annual output of spiritual rice only sells for more than 100 yuan. It's just a spiritual stone." Liu Qiaolian said in surprise.

"Yes! So, after I discussed it with Lord Lou Gu, isn't it just a place to sleep and stay? Is it spacious or not? Anyway, the spiritual energy cultivated in Jade Mo Fang is the same, so why waste that unjust money? Those thirty spiritual stones It would be great to save it and use it for the children to cultivate themselves." Jiao Yongbao agreed.

Among Jiao Yongbao's many children, the youngest son has a talent for cultivating immortals and successfully introduced Qi into his body the year before last.

Jiao Yongbao was very excited about this and was very concerned about earning spiritual stones.

He left his hometown and came to Evergreen City to accumulate spiritual stones for his youngest son's cultivation.

The state has national laws, and families have family rules.

The disciples of Tenglong Mansion have a fixed amount of "regular silver" every year.

But if you want more income, you have to make extra efforts.

"That's true, but breathing in, refining Qi, and meditating on the Tao requires a relatively quiet place. The same is true for martial arts practice and enlightenment, and you also need a spacious place to practice martial arts.

It is not easy for you to leave your hometown for Tenglong Mansion, so how can I wrong you again? Besides, you still need to find a way to earn spiritual stones. If you save like this, you won’t save much.

Lao Lou, in the past few days, if you find time to find a second-entry courtyard, or find another one-entry courtyard, the spiritual stone is not a problem. The key is to live in a comfortable and comfortable place without delaying your practice. "Xia Daoming quickly rejected Jiao Yongbao's idea.

In his previous life, he hated bosses who knocked on the door the most, especially the kind of boss who asked employees to work and contribute while refusing to add money to improve conditions!

Therefore, for both himself and others, he is absolutely unwilling to be that kind of palace master.

"Yes, Master Xia!" Lou Shiyan bowed deeply and accepted the order, feeling moved in his heart that a man would die for his confidant.

After staying in Yumofang for a while, Xia Daoming asked Lou Shiyan to take the three of them to Changqing Lake.

Walking on the wide street, she saw rippling blue waves in the distance, and Liu Qiaolian already had a look of shock on her face.

"The master has such a strong spiritual energy, there must be third-order spiritual veins flowing down there. Moreover, the location of the islands on the lake is very particular. It seems to coincide with a very mysterious formation, and it should be the location of the formation hub of Evergreen City. Liu Qiaolian said.

"Is living by the lake helpful to your understanding of the formation method?" Xia Daoming asked.

"That's for sure, but houses in the inner city are so expensive, and houses by Evergreen Lake are definitely more expensive." Liu Qiaolian said.

"It doesn't matter if it's expensive, the key is to be helpful for practice. The three of us started too late, and our meridians still need more nourishment and growth like spring rain before we can lay a more solid foundation.

There are third-level spiritual meridians flowing below here. Practicing here will probably have a better effect on nourishing and strengthening the meridians than practicing at Yuncui Mountain.

What's more, this place will help you understand the formation method. Even if it is expensive, it is still worth it. "Xia Daoming smiled.

After saying that, Xia Daoming turned to Lou Shiyan and asked, "Old Lou, do you know the price of housing here?"

"Back to Mr. Xia, I asked Fang Yazi, who helped us rent the house in Yumofang, out of curiosity. Fang Yazi said that the worst house by the lake costs 300 spiritual stones a year.

When he said this, I didn't dare to ask in detail anymore. I think someone with a better location would cost a thousand spiritual stones. " Lou Shiyan replied.

Even Xia Daoming, who could be regarded as an expert who had robbed three foundation-building monks, heard that living by the lake for a year would cost thousands of spiritual stones in a slightly better location. He couldn't help but rub the storage ring on his little finger. Suddenly, I felt as if I had suddenly become a poor person in this place.

Even Xia Daoming's long-lost memories were touched at this moment.

He thought of the imperial capital and the magical capital in his previous life.

Every inch of land is at a premium there, and the rich people in the countryside may only be able to afford a toilet when they get there.

"So expensive!" Liu Qiaolian and Ji Wenyue couldn't help but exclaimed in low voices.

"It's okay. The key is that it is helpful for cultivation, and we will only live here for a year and a half. No matter how expensive it is, it only costs a few thousand spiritual stones." Xia Daoming quickly waved his hand.

After all, he still carries four thousand spiritual stones with him, as well as some unused magic weapons that can be converted into cash. It is estimated that he can free up four to five thousand spiritual stones.

Moreover, he also had a Foundation Establishment Pill on hand.

This is an elixir that is difficult to buy even with spiritual stones. It is a rare commodity. If you really want to take it out, you should be able to get tens of thousands of low-grade spiritual stones without any problem.

After that, Xia Daoming asked Lou Shiyan to contact Fang Yazi.

Soon, Lou Shiyan found Fang Yazi.

When Fang Yazi saw that Xia Daoming, a monk on the sixth level of Qi refining, and two lovely wives on the sixth level of Qi refining, wanted to rent a house by the lake, and when he saw Lou Shiyan, a monk who was almost perfect in Qi refining, he had to be respectful. Calling Xia Daoming a master, I thought that Xia Daoming had a great background and was a direct descendant of a certain big shot.

For a master like this, generally there is no concept of the quantity of Huaqi Lingshi, just smash it as long as you like it.

So Fang Yazi took Xia Daoming and his party straight to the best area by the lake.

There are only three houses in this area.

Xia Daoming liked it very much.

When I heard the quotation, I realized that the most expensive thing I had just said was only a few thousand. Poverty really limited my imagination.

The best area starts with one hundred middle-grade spiritual stones, which means it starts with 10,000 low-grade spiritual stones.

When Lou Shiyan heard the quotation, he almost couldn't raise it on the spot.

Xia Daoming looked at Fang Yazi's expression of expectation after he quoted the price, and had the urge to punch him away.

Does I look like the kind of second-generation person who can casually set up small goals?

However, Xia Daoming finally said without changing his face: "This is just so-so, not worth the money, and I don't like it to be too high-profile, so let's find another place."

When Lou Shiyan heard this, his face turned red on the spot.

Ji Wenyue and Liu Qiaolian both curled their lips and wanted to laugh when they heard this.

Fang Yazi was stunned for a long time before his mind came to his senses and he looked at Xia Daoming with admiration.

Soon, Fang Yazi found Xia Daoming a good-quality and low-priced house by the lake.

The house is quite large, with dedicated training rooms and alchemy rooms, a courtyard with lush green grass, and a small elixir garden. Facing the lake, there is also a bamboo pavilion sticking out of the water, where you can sit, drink tea and fish.

The price is one thousand five hundred spiritual stones per year.

Of course, in terms of spiritual energy escaping, it is quite different from the best area.

But it is still much better than Yuncuishan.

After all, it is located on the third-order spiritual vein, and Yuncuishan is only a first-order small spiritual vein.

The houses in Changqing Lake are directly owned by Qingyuanmen, and there are dedicated personnel to handle the procedures, which is very efficient.

Xia Daoming completed all the procedures that day, mainly delivering 1,500 spiritual stones at once. Then in the afternoon, he took his two wives to move into the lakeside mansion, Hidden Dragon Residence.

Xia Daoming's choice of this house has something to do with the name "Yinlongju".

The third level spiritual vein is indeed extraordinary.

Not only is the concentration of spiritual energy amazing, but the changes in the energy of the environment give people a very different and mysterious feeling.

The concentration of spiritual energy near the spiritual spring in Yuncuishan Mountain is there, but it lacks the latter.

It's like being in a beautiful environment where the air is fresh and the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant, and building a mansion in an area with a bad surrounding environment. Even though the mansion has air purification equipment and is full of flowers, plants and trees, the courtyard is also The birds are chirping and the flowers are blooming, it's so beautiful, but the feeling is completely different, it's almost the same.

Run the exercises all night, breathing in and out to refine your Qi.

Xia Daoming and the others felt that the strange meridians in their bodies were obviously nourished and strengthened.

And this feeling has never happened since two months ago, when the three of them stepped into the sixth level of Qi Refining.

The situation of the three of them is very different from other immortal cultivators.

They started late. Logically speaking, if they can reach the third level of Qi refining in this life, they will be stuck at the threshold of the middle stage of Qi refining.

Unless you are very talented or have a rich family, you have a chance to cross that threshold.

It just so happened that the three of them not only had high talents in cultivating immortals, but also had mines at home.

Of course, Xia Daoming's talent is high, mainly because his spiritual consciousness is far superior to that of monks in the same realm. He is seriously partial to subjects, and he uses this to make up for his mediocre qualifications in other aspects.

Others generally practice fast in the early stages and become slower in the later stages.

Many people may reach the third level of Qi refining in just a few years, but then they will be stuck at the third level of Qi refining for decades or even their entire lives, with no chance to enter the middle stage of Qi refining.

Some people are able to enter the middle stage of Qi refining, but their subsequent cultivation speed will slow down significantly. When they enter the late stage of Qi refining, the speed will slow down even more.

When they reach the ninth level of Qi refining, most of the Qi refining monks have stagnated. A few people have finally advanced to the perfect state of Qi refining with the help of years of hard work. However, by that time, they are already very old and generally build the foundation. Very unlikely.

This was the case for Lu Jinglong of Jin Guifeng back then. However, he was lucky. When his deadline was approaching, he was able to determine his life and death. He also got help from Xia Daoming, who got him the Foundation Establishment Pill. He was able to successfully build the Foundation and became a Foundation Establishment monk. Life span can reach two hundred.

In fact, after being eliminated step by step in the world of cultivating immortals, in the end only those who are highly talented in cultivating immortals, or have mines at home, or are just very lucky, can successfully build the foundation.

Xia Daoming and the other three are highly talented in cultivating immortals and have mines at home. Speeding up is not a problem. The only drawback is that they lose the starting time, which means they need to spend more time nourishing and strengthening their meridians, so that their foundation can be laid. It is stronger and can go further in the future.

Moreover, this kind of nourishment and growth cannot be encouraged due to its late start and poor foundation. It can only be gradually grown through daily consumption of spiritual rice and the breathing and refining of spiritual energy in the environment.

Two months ago, the three of them successfully became sixth-level Qi Refining monks, but they encountered a bottleneck in the nourishment and growth of their meridians, and seemed to have reached their limits.

Next, it seems that the only way to continuously strengthen and strengthen the meridians is through the improvement of realm.

However, after breathing and refining Qi yesterday night, the three of them were surprised to find that they were still at the sixth level of Qi refining, but the bottleneck in the nourishment and growth of the meridians had been broken.

"No wonder the powerful figures in the sects emerge one after another and remain standing for thousands of years. They have such powerful resources. Unless they commit suicide within themselves, it will be difficult for other sects to catch up!" In the early morning, I sat in the plant pavilion overlooking the lake. Standing on the platform, looking at the sun rising slowly from behind the Qingyuan Fairy Mountain, Xia Daoming was filled with emotion.

"Yes, I couldn't figure it out before, how could so many people be willing to spend spirit stones to rent in such an expensive place, but now I have some idea.

This kind of excellent cultivation environment created by heaven and earth can bring people progress and insights that spiritual stones and elixirs cannot give. Liu Qiaolian sighed.

"The spiritual energy around here is full and stable, and the rate of alchemy success here should be higher. If a monk who has reached the perfect state of energy refining takes the Foundation Establishment Pill here, and there is a stable supply of spiritual energy all around, it is estimated that the success rate of foundation establishment can also be improved. "Ji Wenyue said thoughtfully.

"So, you can't be a miser! If you have spiritual stones, you have to spend them. You can't just save money. Once you use the spiritual stones, you can enjoy a good practice environment. With a good practice environment, your strength will be better and more powerful. Improve quickly.

As your strength increases, you can earn more spirit stones, which in turn can support your practice. This is a virtuous cycle. Of course, it can't be wasted. That 10,000 spirit stone residence is no longer necessary for the time being. "At the end, Xia Daoming specially added.

"Listen to what the master said, could it be that the master can get ten thousand spiritual stones, but he just doesn't want to take them?" Liu Qiaolian couldn't help but be surprised when she heard this.

Ji Wenyue also thought of this when she heard this, and looked at Xia Daoming with the same surprise.

Xia Daoming never took the initiative to explain his "financial situation", so the two of them really didn't know much about it.

However, the two of them still knew something about it, and Xia Daoming could still get three to four thousand spiritual stones.

But ten thousand spirit stones were a bit beyond their expectations.

"If you really want to sell some things, it's okay to collect tens of thousands of spiritual stones, but that would be a bit like selling the pot and making you look fat, so it's not necessary." Xia Daoming said.

"Ten thousand yuan?" Liu Qiaolian and Ji Wenyue were so surprised that their eyes widened when they heard this.

Xia Daoming smiled proudly upon seeing this.

But soon, Xia Daoming realized that he shouldn't be arrogant.

Because Ji Wenyue and Liu Qiaolian heard that their husband-in-law was so rich, they didn't care to appreciate the sunrise and took him to go shopping in the market.

Naturally, the cities in Evergreen City are far from being comparable to the cities in Shizhulin. Even Yanyang Ridge City and Baicuigu City are much inferior.

The products here range from low-end to luxury goods, and there is a dazzling array of products.

Ji Wenyue and Liu Qiaolian, two women who had just entered the real world of immortality, had never seen such a scene.

I felt dizzy all of a sudden.

After shopping from morning to sunset, Ji Wenyue and Liu Qiaolian held Xia Daoming's arms contentedly and returned to the Hidden Dragon Residence in Changqing Lake.

The things they bought have their own characteristics.

One mostly bought books related to alchemy, alchemy recipes, elixirs, and alchemy furnaces, and the other bought books related to talisman formations, and materials for making talismans, formation flags, and formation weapons.

The two of them also each took a fancy to a Yunni fairy robe, and helped Xia Daoming choose a white Liuyun fairy robe.

These three pieces of clothing can protect against poisonous miasma, snakes, insects, rats, ants, dust and sewage, are not afraid of ordinary swords, and can also resist some low-level attack spells.

Of course, the price is not cheap, each piece costs 400 spirit stones.

So Xia Daoming's storage ring originally contained more than two thousand spiritual stones, but it was all emptied out in one day.

Returning to Yinlongju in the evening, they satisfied their desire for shopping. Liu Qiaolian and Ji Wenyue, who were in a good mood, took the initiative to approach Xia Daoming to fight the Landlord.

Xia Daoming was hollowed out again.

Fortunately, in the next ten days or so, the two beloved wives were immersed in cultivation, alchemy, weapon refining, and of course fighting landlords, and did not mention shopping anymore, otherwise Xia Daoming would really have to consider selling the Foundation Establishment Pill.

On this day, the sun sets in the west.

Xia Daoming and his wife were sitting on the purple bamboo pavilion facing the lake, drinking tea and admiring the scenery of the lake and mountains.

To practice a discipline, you need to practice diligently, but you also need to be relaxed and relaxed.

Evergreen Lake is full of spiritual energy and has a quiet environment. It is a good place for spiritual practice, relaxation and relaxation.

The three of them, as a couple, would relax and enhance their emotional communication through Doudizhu every now and then. From time to time, they would also drink tea and enjoy the scenery leisurely like today.

Just as the couple was immersed in a beautiful and leisurely time, a transmission note flew into the Hidden Dragon Residence.

"Brother Wanyan, I haven't seen you for a long time. Do you have time to catch up today?"

The sound transmission sound turned into a soft and pleasant female voice, which also broke the silence of Hidden Dragon Residence during this period.

"Well!"

Xia Daoming and the three of them all had a look of astonishment on their faces.

"I guess I got the wrong door. I'll go out for a while." Xia Daoming said with a smile.

"Let's follow along. After so many days, we have stayed at home all day, and no one even knows who lives next door." Ji Wenyue said.

"Why, are you worried about your husband?" Xia Daoming said with a smile.

"No, I'm just curious." Ji Wenyue said.

Xia Daoming smiled noncommittally and led the two of them to the front yard.

Opening the door, there was a middle-aged woman standing outside the courtyard, wearing light blue fairy clothes, with a dignified and beautiful appearance, a refined temperament, as if she was not stained by dust, and a gentle smile on her face.

The middle-aged woman couldn't help showing a look of surprise when she saw the courtyard door open, and what appeared before her were three young men and women with only the sixth level of Qi Refining.

Xia Daoming and the other three also showed a hint of surprise when they saw the middle-aged woman.

The woman was older than they expected, but she had a good temperament, appearance, and figure.

But the most important thing is that this woman is very powerful, and she has the cultivation level of mid-stage foundation building.

Although he was smiling, he still brought a lot of invisible pressure to the three of them.

"Are you Wanyanfeng's descendants? How come I've never seen you before, and I've never heard him mention it?" The woman in green clothes spoke first, still smiling softly, and her voice was soft, making people feel like spring breeze.

"Senior, I'm afraid you are in the wrong place. There is no Wan Yan Feng here." Xia Daoming said.

In the world of cultivating immortals, strength is respected, and generally Qi-refining monks will respectfully call Foundation-building monks their seniors.

Of course, most of the time, foundation-building monks are older than Qi-refining monks. They just have the skills to maintain their appearance, and their true age cannot be seen, so calling them senior is generally not wrong and will not offend people.

"Yinlongju, I've been here many times, how could I go wrong? By the way, I live in Qingfengju, so I'm my next door neighbor. Are your elders here?" the woman in green asked with a smile, looking at her as she spoke He even glanced inside.
