Immortal cultivation starts with copying

The city wall on the side of the valley is not the front line. There are two small cities about two miles away from the city wall to the valley.

These two small cities are like two gate gods, guarding the left and right sides of the valley.

Each of these two small cities can accommodate 10,000 monks, which is the front line to resist the beast tide.

Recently, there have been frequent attacks of small beast tides, which are basically strangled by the two small cities in front, and few can rush to the front of Zhenhuang City.

Among the three people who were taken away with Chen Yunhao, two were alchemists and one was a weapon refiner.

The four of them were taken to a large courtyard covering an area of ​​100 meters, with hundreds of houses.

Chen Yunhao and others were assigned independent residences, and only they had this treatment. Other ordinary monks lived in six or seven people in one room.

This large courtyard had already accommodated sixty or seventy non-combatants before Chen Yunhao and others arrived.

And there are three or four large courtyards like this in Zhenhuang City.

The Five Elements Sect recruited nearly 20,000 cultivators in more than ten days, among which there were only about 300 to 400 alchemists, weapon refiners, and talisman makers.

After all, they had to supply resources to tens of thousands of people. Cultivators without any skills would not dare to come casually, so it was not surprising that there were few people.

If Chen Yunhao had not had the ancient mirror in his hand, he would not be proficient in the hundred arts of cultivating immortals like most cultivators.

The Five Elements Sect did not restrict the actions of Chen Yunhao and others. Except that they could not leave the city, they could move freely in the city.

So after settling down, Chen Yunhao wandered around the city alone, mainly to familiarize himself with the environment.

Although he came to Zhenhuang City to obtain resources, if the city was really broken, Chen Yunhao would definitely run away.

So he had to get familiar with the situation in the city first, so as not to panic when the time came.

Zhenhuang City is the bridgehead for human cultivators to enter the wild area, and it is also a must-pass place for cultivators to transit, so the business in the city is relatively developed.

Especially at the moment, the flow of people is restricted, but the flow of resources is not.

Resources from the outside world can still be transported in continuously, especially since more than 20,000 monks have been added to the entire Zhenhuang City, and these people need to consume.

Therefore, the shops in the city have been very popular recently. Although the prices here are much more expensive, compared with life, spending more spirit stones is nothing.

After a round, Chen Yunhao basically knows the distribution of the entire city.

Strictly speaking, the scale of Zhenhuang City is still small, and there is not much depth, but the area is so large, and it has been expanded several times.

The area of ​​Zhenhuang City is not as large as the West City of Yuxian City, so Chen Yunhao returned to his residence quickly.

Unexpectedly, someone came to knock on the door just after returning to his residence.

Now the real war has not started yet, and the non-combat personnel they recruited are still relatively idle. If nothing unexpected happens, it should be the monks living on the left and right.

Standing outside the door is a tall and thin young monk. Looking at the brand on his waist, he is actually an alchemist.

"My fellow Taoist, my surname is Ma, and I live next door to you. We should visit each other more often in the future..."

The tall and thin monk surnamed Ma said with a smile on his face.

Chen Yunhao frowned. Although the monk surnamed Ma in front of him was smiling, his eyes were erratic and his smile was fake.

Even though Chen Yunhao was a little unhappy, as the saying goes, don't hit a smiling person, so he could only reply with a fake smile.

"Brother Ma is polite..."

The two exchanged pleasantries and introduced their names. The Taoist surnamed Ma's name is Ma Jing.

He has the eighth level of Qi Refining. According to him, he comes from a small family and is an intermediate alchemist who is good at refining first-level low-grade elixirs.

As for whether it is true or not, it is difficult to distinguish, and Chen Yunhao does not need to distinguish.

Everyone is just temporarily gathered in Zhenhuang City. At most, they will go their separate ways after half a year. There is really no need to make close friends.

"Brother Chen, I have contacted four or five fellow Taoists. The war is coming soon. It is best for you and me to keep each other warm."

"Brother Ma is right..."

Chen Yunhao echoed casually.

As the old saying goes, where there are people, there are rivers and lakes. The number of non-combatants like them will only increase, and some dirty things will inevitably arise at that time.

Some people will form gangs and factions, and some people will fan the flames. In short, everything is for profit.

Although there are many shops in Zhenhuang City, they are not enough to support the consumption of 50,000 or 60,000 people, so talents with hundreds of skills in cultivating immortals such as Chen Yunhao are needed.

Although Chen Yunhao disliked Ma Jing a little, he also sent him away after a perfunctory talk.

In order to prevent anyone from disturbing him, he set up the Eight Extremes Locking Gate Formation.

Although there are dozens of people living in the huge courtyard, it is very quiet, and some spiritual fluctuations can be heard from many rooms.

Now many cultivators are refining pills or refining tools, and they may also be making talismans.

The existence of these people is to provide a steady stream of resources for the cultivators on the front line.

So Chen Yunhao simply closed the door to visitors on the pretext of making talismans.

Of course, in order to act more realistically, he had to go to the city every two days to buy some raw materials for making talismans.

In Zhenhuang City, there was no shortage of various raw materials, which were continuously delivered.

However, various finished magic tools, elixirs, and talismans were extremely scarce and had long been sold out.

This is a beast tide that affects the entire continent. There are nearly 400,000 cultivators on the front line alone, plus those responsible for logistics, etc., there are still 700,000 or 800,000 people.

With so many people, and in wartime, the consumption is huge, and there are not enough resources.

When Chen Yunhao went to buy the raw materials for making talismans, there were even cultivators who stopped him halfway and asked to buy some talismans.

But Chen Yunhao didn't make a move at the moment, it was not the right time yet.

If there were corpses of monsters, they could be traded, because the Five Elements Sect ultimately recognized the corpses of monsters.

This time, Chen Yunhao made a lot of preparations in advance.

Even six or seven storage bags were prepared, and they were all large storage bags, just to store monsters.

Thousands of cultivators were teleported from Zhenhuang City every day, and slowly the large courtyard where Chen Yunhao lived was full.

Later, non-combatants would naturally be arranged in other places, almost evenly distributed from east to west.

Since Chen Yunhao arrived, he could hear screams and various loud noises coming from the valley almost every day, and could also sense various spiritual power fluctuations coming from the valley.

This was a small group of monsters, attacking the first line of defense.

The monsters were not large in scale at present, and there were no casualties in the first line of defense, and they even failed to break through the defense formations of the two small towns on the left and right.
