Immortal Path Evergreen

On the edge of the Southern Wilderness Mountains, there are seven monk towns.

Among the seven monk cities, although the monks on Black Mountain are the weakest, they have the largest number of people. At the most, there were more than 20,000 monks living on Black Mountain.

Almost half of the casual cultivators in the Yu Kingdom who have no way out will venture into the Southern Wilderness. They often choose Black Mountain to settle down, because the treatment for casual cultivators here is the most convenient and there are more channels for advancement.

Once some well-qualified casual cultivators are able to successfully build a foundation, they will cultivate spiritual veins and open caves near Heishan Mountain, acting as vassals of the Heishan Liang Ancestor.

After hundreds of years of development, there are twenty-three loose cultivators in Heishan who have established foundations. All of these twenty-three monks have settled near Heishan. Counting the disciples of Patriarch Liang, the number of monks who have established foundations near Heishan has exceeded thirty.

Even Qingxuan Sect, the largest sect in the three southeastern counties, has less than 200 foundation-building monks in the sect. Therefore, the casual cultivators near Heishan can be regarded as a considerable force for the world of Yu Kingdom's immortal cultivators.

Some casual cultivators even wantonly marry wives and take concubines, hoping to establish a cultivating family like Zhang Tairen, the ancestor of the Zhang family more than four hundred years ago.

In fact, Zhang Tairen, the ancestor of the Zhang family, was also a casual cultivator in Nanhuang in his youth. He purchased the foundation-building pill from Qingyangfang controlled by Qingxuanzong. After establishing the foundation, he left the mountains of Nanhuang and established it in Lushan. family.

Compared to the other cities in the Southern Wilderness Mountains, Heishan City was established in the shortest time, less than three hundred years. The safety of Heishan rests entirely on Ancestor Liang alone.

Ancestor Liang has extraordinary talents. He relied on an ordinary Fiery Fire Art to reach the peak of the Purple Mansion Stage. He relied on Black Mountain's protective array to compete with the Golden Core cultivators.

Every few decades, Southern Wilderness monsters would besiege these seven towns on a large scale, and sometimes there were even fifth-level monsters among them.

The fifth-level monsters are already equivalent to the golden elixir stage monks. Monsters of this level can already evolve into some human forms. Even the crazy and evil beast has some spirituality in its wisdom.

Once faced with the siege of monsters of this level, without the giant pillar of the sky like Ancestor Liang, the casual cultivators of Heishanfang would be almost vulnerable and unable to defend this treasured land of Lingshan.

Although there are at most 20,000 monks on Black Mountain, the market below the mountain seems deserted most of the time.

Some of the monks in Montenegro went down the mountain to search for spiritual herbs, hunt monsters, and investigate the enemy's situation. The rest, whose cultivation was not high, were also responsible for cultivating the spiritual fields on the mountain and feeding the domesticated spiritual beasts.

The monks' basic necessities of food, clothing, housing, and transportation almost require manpower to support them, and there are very few idlers with nothing to do.

Zhang Zhixuan led Qing Chan to wander around the market, bought some things commonly used by monks, and then entered a magnificent shop.

This store is six stories tall, and its exterior is spacious and tall. The area is at least equivalent to three ordinary stores.

The name of this shop is Baibao Pavilion. The few people receiving it in front of the door are actually mortals without spiritual roots. These mortals are already in their middle years. They all seem to be warriors who practice inner breath. Their cultivation level is only around the fourth or fifth level of the innate stage. .

Zhang Zhixuan was greatly surprised when he saw a mortal in Nanhuang for the first time.

At this time, an attractive female cultivator who was twenty-eight years old came from the back hall and said: "These people are all relatives of my family, and they have come to Fangshi to help take care of the business.

Fellow Taoist looks a little unfamiliar. Is this your first time in Heishanfang City? "

"We, brother and sister, are casual cultivators from the Yu Kingdom. Because it was difficult for casual cultivators from the Yu Kingdom to survive, we went south to Montenegro to seek a living.

After traveling south for several months, I saw mortals for the first time, so I was surprised. "

The female cultivator waved her hand and said: "It is difficult for casual cultivators to survive. Even cultivators in the foundation-building stage will encounter obstacles everywhere without help.

Therefore, some senior monks took wives and concubines in Montenegro and established their own families. A considerable number of their descendants have adapted to the environment of Montenegro. After many years of reproduction, some mortals live near Montenegro.

The environment here is harsh, and mortals cannot do without the protection of the monks for even a moment.

There are many monsters in the Southern Wilderness, and they will besiege the mountain gate established by the monks at any time. It is impossible for the monks during the Qi training period to establish a stable stronghold outside the mountain.

Therefore, most of the mortals near Black Mountain are the descendants of the foundation-building monks. "

This was the first time Zhang Zhixuan heard about this situation.

Some casual cultivators from outside, because of the habit of treating ordinary people like rotten dogs for many years, would kill ordinary people to satisfy their hatred if they were not satisfied.

The people they killed were probably the direct descendants, wives, sons and daughters of the foundation-building monks. Such people often offended the senior monks because they were rash and irritable, making it difficult for them to survive in Montenegro.

Most of them turned into flesh and blood containing spiritual energy, nourishing the fertile soil of Black Mountain.

After listening to the girl's words, Zhang Zhixuan cupped his hands and said, "Thank you for the tip, girl. I was introduced by the monks from Taixu Pavilion. I heard that your store is recruiting alchemists, so I want to apply."

“It turns out Liang Liang introduced you here.

He must not have made it clear that we are recruiting alchemists, not alchemy apprentices.

At the very least, if you can refine a second-level mid-grade elixir or above, you can be admitted.

Judging from your appearance, although your cultivation level is good, you are not very old, and I am afraid that you do not have the ability to refine a second-level elixir or above. "The girl's tone of voice was also a bit loud, as if she was a bit unconventional. Although she didn't say it directly, she still didn't believe that Zhang Zhixuan could refine the elixir.

"Don't talk nonsense. Although this little brother is young, his cultivation is already well established. I'm afraid he will be ready to build a foundation if he goes further.

Although he is not very old, he already has some smoke and fire smell on him, and there is a hint of medicinal fragrance in the dark. I am afraid that he has been an alchemist for quite some time.

If I hadn't been in the store today, this talent would have been driven away by you.

You little girl, you are not diligent in cultivation, and you are self-righteous in character.

When I am here, I can take care of you for a few days. Once I am gone, and without your grandfather's care, what will you do in the future? "A sound of footsteps came from upstairs, and an old monk slowly walked down the stairs, speaking softly.

Although he was scolding the girl, there was still some kindness in his eyes.

Because there were outsiders, the old man's unceremonious scolding made the girl feel a little embarrassed. She stood aside with a red face, not knowing whether to leave or stay.

Zhang Zhixuan took a closer look and found that the old monk had a profound cultivation base, and his aura was no less than that of several elders in the family. It seemed that he should have reached the ninth level of the Qi training period.

He bowed and said, "Old senior, thank you for your praise. Although my brother and I are casual cultivators, my master also had some spiritual fields in the country of Yu before. I also became an alchemist after many years of practice."

"How long have you been learning to make alchemy, little brother?"

"About five years."

"What is your current level of alchemy?

What grade of elixir can you make?

What is the probability of success? ”

It seems that Baibao Pavilion is indeed short of alchemists, so the old monk asked three questions in a row.

Zhang Zhixuan replied: "In terms of alchemy, I can only be regarded as a beginner. I can only refine three second-level medium-grade elixirs, and the probability of success is relatively low, only two or three levels. ”

The old man nodded and smiled: "At your age, this level is already good. According to your situation, refining second-level medium-grade elixirs can only barely break even, with only a slight profit.

Our shop also needs to earn spirit stones, so spirit pills above second-level medium-grade will not be given to you to refine.

According to your current level, you can only be responsible for refining first-level elixirs and a small amount of second-level low-grade elixirs.

But if you join this pavilion, there will be a benefit. You can use the earth fire veins for free once a month to improve your alchemy skills.

In addition, our welfare benefits are not bad, and you can give you a salary of two spirit stones every month. ”
