Who Told Him To Cultivate Immortality!

Chapter 9: Central Mainland

"Do I have to pay for it?" Lu Yang asked nervously. The most valuable part of him was probably his brain.

"Pay for it?" Senior Brother glanced at the book in his hand and then looked at Lu Yang. His eyes twitched.

According to the rules, they did have to pay for it. However, the problem was that if this book was leaked, the dragons and phoenixes would join forces to attack the Central Mainland and the Dao Seeking Sect.

The Dao Seeking Sect was not afraid of the dragons and phoenixes. Dragon liver and phoenix marrow tasted delicious and nourished Yin and Yang … However, they were still a righteous sect. If a forbidden book like the Dragon-Phoenix Transformation was in the Sutra Depository, their reputation would be tarnished.

Thinking of this, Senior Brother silently hid the book in his sleeve with an indifferent expression.

"Pay for it?

What book did you dirty?

I didn't see it. "

Destroying books in the Sutra Depository was too obvious. It would trigger the array formation. It was better to destroy it outside.

Lu Yang immediately understood. Senior Brother wanted to keep it for himself.

That was why nothing happened just now.

The two of them looked at each other and smiled. It was as if they really understood each other.

The forbidden book was a small incident. Lu Yang did not forget his purpose in coming to the Sutra Depository.

After searching for a long time, he finally found the book that introduced the Central Mainland. It was The Continent's Public Opinion.

Lu Yang rubbed his hands excitedly and read carefully.

"There are humans, demons, ghosts, and so on in the world. The Central Mainland is where humans gather. The strongest force in the Central Mainland is the Great Xia Dynasty. It is the only country in the Central Mainland. It controls the fate of humans and represents the orthodoxy of humans.

"In that case, although my home is close to the Dao Seeking Sect, it is also part of the Great Xia Dynasty.

"To the east of the mainland is a vast ocean with scattered islands. Occasionally, ancient demons like the Kun Peng and Hundun would appear.

"To the west of the mainland is a golden Buddhist land. There are endless pure lands and many temples.

"To the south of the mainland is the demons' territory. The dragons and phoenixes are the overlords of the demon territory. The demons are cruel and bloodthirsty. The Great Xia Dynasty and the demon territory are in constant conflict. There are also demons hiding in the Great Xia Dynasty.

"To the north of the mainland is the extreme north. The ice never melts and no grass grows. There are very few people and other living beings rarely appear. Only the strongest races live there.

"The Central Continent has the most humans and also the most cultivators. Some cultivators choose to enter the imperial court as officials, but more cultivators choose to establish their own sects or join a sect.

There are many sects in the Central Mainland, and the strongest among them are the Dao Seeking Sect and the other four great immortal sects. They are the leaders of the righteous sects. "

"The book also said that the five great immortal sects must have a Tribulation Passing Stage almighty cultivator and the means to fight against a Tribulation Passing Stage cultivator … Could it be that the sect leader is a Tribulation Passing Stage almighty cultivator?

Or perhaps our Dao Seeking Sect has a reclusive Grand Elder? "

Thinking that he was lucky enough to be apprenticed to a sect master who might be in the Crossing Calamity stage, Lu Yang was a little happy. He stood up and poured himself a glass of water. Suppressing his excitement by drinking water, he sat back down and continued to read.

"Demonic Dao cultivators are bloodthirsty. They use the lives of living beings to increase their cultivation. The harm they cause is even greater than the Demon Race.

After all, Demonic Dao cultivators are not cultivators who can be seen in public. They hide in the dark corners. Under the joint suppression of the Great Xia Dynasty and the five great immortal sects, Demonic Dao cultivators only dare to act in the dark. "

In addition to demonic cultivators, the book also mentioned something called demonic cultivators. It was quite vague, saying that demonic cultivators were born without emotions and were the shadow of the human race. They couldn't be judged by common sense and should be kept away from. It was very mysterious, and Lu Yang didn't know what demonic cultivators were.

"Mortals use gold, silver, and copper as currency. Cultivators use spirit stones of the three grades."

After that, Lu Yang started to learn about the common knowledge of the cultivation world. For example, the standards of the different cultivation realms, what cultivation arts included, the types of demon beasts, the levels of cultivation techniques, the history of the Central Mainland, and so on …

The knowledge that Lu Yang heard from the storyteller in the teahouse was far from enough for him to gain a foothold in the cultivation world.

Lu Yang looked at the lines of mysterious knowledge and couldn't help but be immersed in it. He swam in the sea of knowledge until evening, when he felt hunger in his stomach. Only then did he remember that he hadn't eaten for a day.

At this time, the Senior Brother at the entrance of the Scripture Pavilion had been replaced by a Senior Sister.

Lu Yang asked respectfully, "Senior Sister, I'm sorry to disturb you. I just came here yesterday and I'm not familiar with the Dao Seeking Sect. Is there a place to eat in the Dao Seeking Sect?"

This senior sister was startled by Lu Yang. She shivered and avoided his gaze. She was afraid of talking to people.

Normally, everyone would abide by the rules of the Scripture Depository, so there was no need for reminders. Her personality was very suitable for this place.

She didn't dare to look Lu Yang in the eye. She lowered her head and said softly, "So you're a new junior brother. Dao Seeking Sect has a cafeteria, but as someone who has been here before, senior sister doesn't recommend you eat there."

Lu Yang was puzzled: "Why? Is there something wrong with the cafeteria?"

"At Fifth Elder's peak, the Hundred Tempering Mountain."

Lu Yang was stunned. The name of this mountain did not seem like a place to cook. "I wonder what this Hundred Refinement Peak is …"

"The Fifth Elder is good at refining, so the Hundred Refinement Peak is naturally a mountain for refining. The canteen is opened on the Hundred Refinement Peak, and the chefs in the canteen are all first-class refiners. Steamed buns can pierce through mountains, rice grains can be used as hidden weapons, and youtiao can even break reinforced steel and iron bones."

Lu Yang didn't know where to start. "… Why can a chef be a refiner?"

The Senior Sister explained weakly, "Junior Brother, think about it. The most important thing for a chef is to control the heat, and the most important thing for a refiner is to control the heat. The relationship between these two professions is closer than you think."

Lu Yang nodded sincerely. "It's indeed closer than I thought."

The Senior Martial Sister looked at Lu Yang's plain clothes and hesitated for a moment. "Moreover, buying weapons, oh no, eating in the cafeteria requires spirit stones. This Junior Martial Brother, you don't look … very rich."

The clothes of ordinary cultivators might not be that exquisite, but they were still made of heavenly silk and other common spiritual materials. They were impervious to fire and water.

Lu Yang's attire was simple and plain, and his clothes were sewn with many rags. One could tell at a glance that he was a mortal.

Lu Yang smiled embarrassedly. He really didn't have a single spirit stone.

"Don't be embarrassed. There are many mortals in the Dao Seeking Sect." The senior sister comforted him softly.

"There are ways to eat. Oh … you can go to Danding Peak to take a look. There should be some abandoned Fasting Pills there. You can ask them for some."

"Danding Peak has high standards for pills. Even though it's said to be a waste, it's just that the quality is not high enough. Don't worry about it being poisonous."

"But at Danding Peak, you have to be careful of the Peak Master, Seventh Elder, Senior Brother Wu Ming, Senior Brother Wen Da, Senior Sister Qing Kong, Junior Brother Long Yan … Anyway, be careful."

Lu Yang suppressed the puzzlement in his heart and cupped his hands. "I am Lu Yang. Thank you, Senior Sister. May I know your name?"

"I'm Zhou Lulu."
