Taoist companions help me live forever

One month later.

Shangyangfang City.

This is the only square market in Shangyang City.

As for why Shangyang City does not have a strong commercial atmosphere, it is because there are too few people.

In the whole city, the permanent population is only about 10,000 people, and including the floating population, it does not exceed 20,000 people.

On the contrary, there are no less than 500,000 people living in the shanty town outside Shangyang City, most of whom are mortals.

As I said before, the load of the spiritual veins has a limit.

Therefore, in order to drive away the excess population in a gentle way, the cost of living in Shangyang City is extremely high, and not many people can stay in the city forever.

Let’s not think about food, clothing, housing and transportation.

For the most basic spiritual energy tax, those with permanent residency need to pay twelve spiritual stones a year, while those without permanent residency need to pay twenty-four.

You must know that Yu Xian's income from farming for one year was only three spiritual stones.

It is conceivable that whether it is twelve yuan or twenty-four yuan, it is an extremely huge amount for ordinary monks.

under such a circumstance.

Even among the immortal cultivating families in the city, they would only leave the most elite of their children to live in the city.

Otherwise, one person is worth 12 yuan a year, and 100 people are worth 1,200 yuan. Who can afford such a blood test?

There are eight major immortal cultivating families in the city, but each family's permanent population does not exceed 200 people.

Therefore, each family has its own family residence outside Shangyang City, and the family living in Shangyang City is regarded as the main lineage by each family.

"So there is a boss above the eight great families, right?"

Yu Xian was sitting in the VIP room of Yingxian Pavilion, chatting with a steward named Zhao.

He had just sold thirty Yunmist Formation Disks to Manager Zhao at the price of one hundred and eighty spiritual stones, and used the one hundred and eighty spiritual stones to purchase Qi-training elixirs of the same price.

Two orders came and went, and I was treated to half an hour of chatting.

This information was obtained from Manager Zhao.

Manager Zhao is a handsome old man, he looks to be in his fifties, with gray temples, but he is meticulously groomed and his figure is well maintained and not out of shape.

He chuckled and praised: "Fellow Daoist Yu is indeed an array master. He is quick in thinking and he guessed it so quickly."

"Yes, if the eight aristocratic families were really the masters of Shangyang City, wherever there was room for other casual cultivators to survive in the city, their own children would have taken over it."

"The real owner of Shangyang City is Master Danyang on Shangyang Mountain. He is the god of Shangyang City."

"Zhenren Danyang?"

Yu Xian's heart trembled.

Although he had no enmity with Master Danyang, the existence of Master Jindan itself was a threat to him.

When encountering a master of foundation building like Ancestor Jiang, he could still pretend to be a turtle by relying on the Turtle Breath Condensing Qi Technique.

But who knows what Jin Dan Zhenren will do.

"I don't know where this Danyang master came from, but he allowed the eight great families to enter the city. Doesn't he have a family of his own?"

Manager Zhao had a look of admiration on his face.

"It is said that Danyang Zhenren was born as a casual cultivator, but relied on his qualifications and adventures to break through to the golden elixir realm, and he also joined the Xuanyang Sect and became a guest elder.

You must know that Xuanyang Sect is a sect on the path of immortality, and with the presence of the Nascent Soul Lord at its command, it can be regarded as one of the best in the entire Jiuyang Domain.

However, it was a pity that Master Danyang was only a casual cultivator and was not taken seriously by the sect. In the end, he was sent to Shangyang City to be the guardian of the Master.

But even so, he is the most powerful person we have access to. "

This is the first time that Yu Xian has a simple understanding of the world he lives in.

His thoughts kept racing with Manager Zhao's words, and his eyes seemed to fly higher and higher.

Yue Dynasty, Jiang Family, Shangyang City, Xuanyang Sect, Jiuyang Domain...

He seemed to see a huge and magnificent world.

Neither he nor the entire Shangyang City seemed small and humble in front of this world.

"Does the Nine Suns Realm refer to the area we live in?"

Yu Xian thought of the Taiyin Demon Realm, the place where the follow-up techniques of transforming the blood demon technique existed.

From the looks of it, the two places are quite far apart.

No wonder this technique can be cultivated to the peak of the golden elixir. Ordinary foundation-building monks are not that capable of traveling across a region to find inheritance.

It is not easy to travel far away these days. There are monsters, monsters, tribulations and hardships along the way, and you will die in a foreign country every minute.

Manager Zhao shook his head and said: "If nothing happens, we will not be able to leave Shangyang City in our lifetime. We are lucky to see Xuanyang Sect.

I have only heard people mention the name Jiuyang Domain. After all, it is too far away from us. "

"Too."

Yu Xian nodded in agreement.

But in fact, if nothing unexpected happens, he will definitely reach the pinnacle of this field.

There's nothing you can do about it, people who are hung up are just so confident.

Of course, the premise is that he lives well and doesn't be too arrogant to avoid bad luck.

"Haha, it's meaningless to talk about topics that are too far away. I have to thank fellow Daoist Yu for supporting me today. With this order from you, I have some time to spare."

Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit dull, Manager Zhao laughed, sweeping away the slight depression just now.

Yu Xian said: "I also have to thank Manager Zhao for your generous explanation. Otherwise, I, a rural cultivator, would never know how vast the world is."

Manager Zhao said to himself: "I am just older and have seen more things. If my guess is correct, Daoist Yu is still not very old."

Yu Xian replied: "I'm ashamed to say that I'm already thirty-eight this year and I'm about to turn four."

Manager Zhao's eyes immediately lit up: "Fellow Daoist Yu is less than forty years old. Can I take the liberty to ask you about Daoist Yu's cultivation level?"

He could only vaguely feel that Yu Xian's cultivation was in the late stage of Qi training, but the specific cultivation level was not written on his forehead.

Yu Xian smiled bitterly and said: "It's the ninth level of Qi training, but it's still a long way from foundation building."

Manager Zhao slapped his thigh, his attitude became more enthusiastic:

"Fellow Daoist Yu, please don't belittle yourself. You are only thirty-eight years old now, and you have already reached the ninth level of Qi training. You are also an array master. Such talents are outstanding even among the aristocratic families in the city."

"To be honest with you, fellow Taoist Yu, I have a distant niece who is twenty years old. She has an outstanding appearance. Her cultivation level is neither high nor low. She is also at the fifth level of Qi training. She is still single."

"Cough cough cough..."

Yu Xian couldn't help but cough a few times.

Suddenly I felt like shit.

This doesn't fit in with the plot development.

This is not to say that good wealth should not be revealed in vain.

In order to prevent being targeted by the Yingxian Pavilion, he deliberately sold only thirty formation plates, lest the amount be too large and arouse others' greed.

When the time comes, they will be forced to fight back.

After all, he is using his real name now, and he has to run away after killing people.

As a result, not only did he have no intention of killing people and seizing treasures, but he didn't even dislike him for being a rural cultivator with no knowledge. Instead, he chatted with him politely, answered questions and solved his doubts, and he was really a good and intimate brother.

Now she actually wants to introduce her niece to him.

What kind of divine expansion is this?

Yu Xian suppressed the urge to vomit: "Well, I already have a wife, so I won't consider marrying another one for the time being."

Ordinary women can compete with each other in their skills. Anyway, they will be compensated adequately afterwards, just to take care of me.

But with a relationship like Guanshi Zhao, God knows who he will meet, and in the end he will get into trouble for a woman.

He could still figure out what was light and what was heavy.

"It doesn't matter, you can make it small."

Manager Zhao, on the other hand, acted like he was forcing the matter.

"It's just common for a real man to have three wives and four concubines. Among those who are major foundation-building cultivators, Jindan Zhenren doesn't have more than a dozen concubines, and even some advanced Kun cultivators also have multiple lovers.

Fellow Daoist Yu is so good, it is normal for him to have a few people around him to serve him. "

Why was Manager Zhao willing to chat with Yu Xian for so long? The order of 180 spirit stones was just one of them, the other was pure appreciation.

Young, handsome, talented, and highly educated, the key is that he has no background.

If he doesn't catch such a good man quickly and become one of his own, he will be sorry for his status as a businessman.

Seeing what Yu Xian wanted to say, Manager Zhao waved his hand and said:

"Fellow Daoist Yu, don't be too hasty to refuse. Just give me some face. Let's meet and get to know each other first. If you're not satisfied, we'll talk about it later."

"In addition, although I, Zhao Dechun, am only a small steward of Yingxian Pavilion, my ancestor of the Zhao family is the son of Danyang Zhenren.

Master Danyang is the number one alchemy master in Shangyang City, and every once in a while he will open a furnace to refine a batch of foundation-building pills.

Fellow Daoist Yu is now at the ninth level of qi training, and the foundation building is only in front of him. There should be one foundation building pill left. "

Yu Xian's eyes lit up: "Manager Zhao, can you give me a foundation-building pill?"

A Foundation Establishment Pill costs thousands of spirit stones, and even costs over ten thousand, but it is still expensive but not marketable.

Although Manager Zhao's niece was a little troublesome, it was okay for him to sacrifice his innocence for a foundation-building pill.

And according to Manager Zhao, his niece looks very good.

Manager Zhao looked confused: "Don't be joking, fellow Daoist Yu, I am just a small manager, how can I have the capital to give away a Foundation Building Pill.

What I mean is that if you, Daoyou Yu, become one of my own, you can purchase a Foundation Building Pill from my Zhao family’s channels at a reasonable price. "

You can't go whoring for free, and your interest in leisure suddenly drops sharply.

"Manager Zhao, I am devoted to cultivation and have little interest in the relationship between men and women. I am really ashamed of your kindness."

Being rejected by Yu Xian again, Manager Zhao felt a little unhappy, but he sighed and said:

"My niece is unlucky."

Yu Xian couldn't continue the conversation, so he had to say goodbye and leave.
