Immortality Gu Tao: Start By Refining the Infatuation Gu

Chapter 71: One year of siege, rents increased, prices skyrocketed

 In the blink of an eye, a year flies by.

Almost a year has passed since I was surrounded by the monks of Youmo Sect.

The monks staying in Miyun City still have no way to leave, and the Youmo Sect monks have no intention of retreating. They are still attacking the second-level formation in Miyun City every day, constantly consuming the energy of the formation.

 Basically, this has become the habit of the monks in Miyun City.

 Both sides seem to be in a balanced state, and no one can do anything to win over the other.

 The monks staying in the city are becoming more and more restless. After all, no one knows when this war will end.

If there are not enough spiritual stones, then the formation in Miyun City will naturally be unable to be maintained. In order to maintain the operation of the formation, Xianxia Sect decided to increase the rent for the monks living in the city.

Even foundation-building monks and golden elixir monks will still be hungry and need to eat.

 Because the rent in Miyun City is already quite expensive now. Two middle-grade spiritual stones are needed per month, which is equivalent to two hundred low-grade spiritual stones. Not many monks can afford it.

 One monster beast has hundreds or even thousands of kilograms of meat.

 After all, he now has 5,000 middle-grade spiritual stones.

 There is nothing we can do about this.

It can be said that his rate of progress is quite astonishing.

Zhou Sui narrowed his eyes.

Zhou Sui asked. "It is said that the rent will be at least doubled, which is four medium-grade spiritual stones per month."

“It is said that it is because Miyun City is running out of spiritual stones.”

“Four middle-grade spiritual stones? That’s not bad.”

Hearing this, Zhou Sui breathed a sigh of relief. For him, just four middle-grade spiritual stones were nothing for the time being, nor was it a heavy burden.

Ji Bingyu shook her head: "Because it's not just that the rent has increased. The prices of runes, magic weapons, elixirs, elixirs, etc. have all increased crazily. Compared with before, they have more than doubled.

 But this is basically the limit that a monk can bear.

More importantly, his understanding of elixirs has also improved to a higher level. The alchemist's cultivation has reached 99% of the first-level high-grade alchemy master. He is only one step away from becoming a second-level alchemy master.

If there are not enough spirit stones, Miyun City's formation will collapse sooner or later, and no one will be able to make a difference at that time.

She also didn't expect that one day she would worry about food. As a monk, it would be a big joke to starve to death, but in the besieged Miyun City, it might become a reality.

As for Lingmi, a large amount of farmland has been cultivated outside, and there is a good harvest every year.

She said that prices in Miyun City have begun to rise crazily, with prices rising almost every day.

“It is indeed nothing to us, but it is not so to other monks.”

They never thought that they would be short of food and meat.

However, since they had been hoarding food and spiritual meat for more than ten years before, there was no need to grab the limited supply of food, and they could still eat and drink a lot every day.

At this time, Ji Bingyu said to Zhou Sui, who had just walked out of the quiet room.

 This also resulted in the monks in Miyun City having no sense of crisis, and the price of food has always been stable.

If it were not for the help of Book Gu, even a talented demonic monk would have spent more than a hundred years before he could practice this skill to a small level.

 So this also means that Miyun City does not have a lot of food reserves.

If you can do it with some spiritual stones, then everything is not a big problem.

 After all, the slower you get to the later stages, the slower your cultivation speed becomes, and it’s not that easy to improve.

 She briefly explained why Miyun City wanted to increase the rent. It was all forced by the situation.

Xia Jingyan named a number.

Even though there are many spirit stones in the Yunwu Mountains, the price of spirit stones is not particularly high.

“Mr. Sir, fortunately we made preparations in advance and stocked up a lot of supplies, otherwise we would have been hungry now.”

You can completely show off in front of the Jindan monks, and you don't need to worry about the other party being able to see through your true face.

Even if it takes four or five years to pay the rent, he can definitely afford it.

Of course, what he gained this year was not just cultivation.

Just after one year of lockdown, Miyun City began to experience large-scale food shortages.

Xia Jingyan said in a deep voice.

Mu Ziyan was very happy.

 “Rent increase? What does this mean?”

If Miyun City had not been blocked by Youmo Sect, food would be everywhere.

If the rent is increased, these monks may rise up.

What is even more astonishing is the price of spiritual rice and spiritual meat. Compared with a year ago, it has at least tripled, and even if you have money, you may not be able to buy it. Now there is a shortage of rice and meat everywhere in Miyun City. It is said that there are already neighbors The monk had been hungry for three days and three nights. He was so hungry that he began to chew wood. He looked for people to borrow food everywhere, but no one paid attention to him. "

 This allowed the grain market to temporarily stabilize.

 Because outside the city are the Yunwu Mountains, where a large number of monsters live.

“It is said that the Xianxia Sect monks in Miyun City have begun to reduce their food supply. The shops on the streets no longer sell food and meat, and the supply is limited every day.”

 At this moment, Zhou Sui sat cross-legged on the ground in the quiet room, finishing his day's practice.

In addition, the magic of phantom transformation has also been upgraded from the proficiency level to the level of minor achievement. Once it has reached this level, even the golden elixir monks cannot see through his disguise or his cultivation.

“Ms. sir, I’m afraid Miyun City is going to increase the rent.”

 It even smells like planting low-priced grain and hurting farmers.

 The reason why he has not been able to become a second-level alchemist is simply because he lacks the inherited knowledge of a second-level alchemist.

 “If the rent needs to be increased, how many spiritual stones should be added?”

 “Hoo!”

 After a year of hard training, his cultivation has made great progress, and he has made 40% progress in the seventh level of Qi training.

In addition, his Five Elements Alchemy Technique has also been upgraded to the level of Xiaocheng, which has also made his alchemy skills amazingly improved, and the success rate of alchemy has been greatly increased.

Of course, after reaching the Xiaocheng level, the speed of improvement slows down a lot, almost to the point where it is almost impossible to move forward.

But all monks living in the city need to pay expensive rent so that they can continue to live in Miyun City, otherwise they have to leave Miyun City. "

Mu Ziyan explained: "After all, if you want to maintain a second-level formation, you still need a large amount of spirit stones as energy. Over the past year, the Youmo Sect monks have been attacking continuously, causing Miyun City's reserve of spirit stones to be consumed very quickly.

 After all, there is nothing we can do about it. Monks are also human beings and will feel hungry as well.

Now, in order to maintain the stability of order and prevent these hungry monks from starting riots, Miyun City has begun to restrict the sale of food, and each person has to buy a limited amount every day.

 The previous monster meat was not valuable at all and the price was low.

 Compared with other monks, their lives are countless times better.

Fortunately, my husband had the foresight, otherwise I might have followed in the footsteps of those monks.
