Drunk Immortal Gourd

Qingyang was about to take Yu Mengmiao to Yuling City, but Liang Zhongtian had been playing in Liangzhou City for almost half a month and was also preparing to return to Yuling City, which happened to be all the way. So the two of them talked for a while and saw that it was already getting late, so the three of them headed towards Yuling City together.

The journey for the first three days was relatively easy. You could see villages and the fields they had cultivated all around. On the fourth day, the number of pedestrians on the road gradually became less and less, and the road suddenly became difficult. They gradually entered the mountainous area. zone.

The area near Liangzhou City is said to be the center of Liangzhou. I don't know where there are so many mountains. Moreover, the mountains here are steep, the roads are difficult to travel, and there are few people there. Even medicine collectors and hunters rarely come here. However, this is only relative to ordinary people. Masters like Liang Zhongtian and Qingyang do not have a great impact. Only Yu Mengmiao is too young and needs two people to take turns carrying him.

The mountains here are not only steep, but there are also many ferocious beasts and birds. In addition, the surrounding fog is thick, which acts like a natural barrier, isolating most ordinary people from the outside. Even ordinary people from the outside who occasionally break in will take the initiative to leave because they can't discern the direction clearly, or there are too many beasts.

As the three of them gradually deepened, Qingyang gradually felt the difference between this mountain range and that of Xiping Mansion. Although the mountains here may not be as large as those there, their ability to gather spiritual energy is much greater, so The aura of the entire mountain range is stronger than that over there. Yuling City was built in a place like this. It is estimated that the amount of aura is one of the main reasons.

This is the case around the mountain range, and it will definitely be better over there in Yuling City. A day of practice here is more efficient than practicing in other places. Who wouldn't want to come here? It is estimated that it is low-level casual cultivators like Lame Taoist and Beggar King who feel that there is no hope of breakthrough in this life, or that they cannot stay here any longer, so they go to the secular world to live their lives.

Perhaps because the Kuxian Conference was about to begin, they would occasionally meet other fellow cultivators, but in such desolate mountains and ridges, they were more wary of each other, and no one would take the initiative to say hello, even if they met head-on. Once you get there, you will leave in a hurry.

The world of cultivating immortals is not as peaceful as the outside world thinks, and murders and treasure grabbing are also very common, especially in remote and inaccessible places. If one party is confident enough, there may be monks who want to do it temporarily. . Fortunately, this time Liang Zhongtian, a monk at the ninth level of the Pulse Opening Realm, was with Qingyang, otherwise he might have encountered some danger.

However, there are still a few people who dare to do such things. Most monks still abide by the rules, because sometimes there are monks who claim to be righteous and meddle in their own affairs, and the big sects of cultivators will occasionally clean up such monks. .

If you are seen doing something like this and spread it, your reputation will be ruined. Therefore, this kind of thing is relatively secretive. Generally, you can only do it if you have a lot of benefits to attract and you are confident enough to silence the person. Of course, it doesn't matter those whose reputations are extremely bad and broken.

With Liang Zhongtian, a person who was familiar with the situation, leading the way, the journey went much smoother. The originally planned journey of seven or eight days reached their destination on the morning of the seventh day.

Standing on the top of a hill, Liang Zhongtian pointed to a large city in the valley in front of him and said, "That is Yuling City. It is the largest settlement of casual cultivators in Liangzhou. The entire city has a population of hundreds of thousands."

In front of it is a rectangular valley, more than ten miles wide and more than twenty miles long. Yuling City was built according to the terrain, covering an area of ​​tens of thousands of acres. The city is nearly ten feet high. It is tall and majestic. Compared to them The city of Liangzhou that I visited a few days ago was even more majestic.

The terrain in front of Yuling City is slightly lower, and the terrain in the back is slightly higher. As the terrain undulates, there are countless pavilions and pavilions built on top of each other in a well-proportioned manner. Because the distance is too far, the internal situation of Yuling City cannot be seen. It's very real, but the momentum alone makes people fascinated.

With a population of more than 100,000, that is more than the population of Xiping Fucheng where Qingyang lives, and it is not far behind the more prosperous Kaiyuan Fucheng. I never expected that there is such a big city in this deep mountain. , the manpower spent in construction can be imagined.

Qingyang said with emotion: "In the secular world, many people will never see the legendary immortal master in their lifetime. Meeting a monk is like looking for a needle in a haystack. There are so many people living here. Sure enough, if you are not on that level, the world you see is... no the same."

Liang Chongtian said: "I don't know that this Yuling City has been built for thousands of years. Over time, it is normal for so many people to gather. However, not all people living in Yuling City are monks. Some of them Nearly sixty-seven percent of them are just ordinary people.”

No need for Liang Zhongtian to explain this, Qingyang can figure it out. When casual cultivators come to Yuling City, they don't necessarily come alone. Some may bring followers, family members, etc. If they don't want to leave, they just I can only be an ordinary person here. Qingyang also brought Yu Mengmiao with him when he came. If Yu Mengmiao didn't have spiritual roots, wouldn't he be just like the ordinary people in Yuling City?

Another reason is that the higher the cultivation level of the descendants of monks, the more difficult it is to produce offspring. The offspring have a greater chance of having spiritual roots, and the relative qualifications will be higher. On the contrary, the lower the cultivation level, the easier it is to produce offspring and the smaller the chance of having spiritual roots. Even if one has spiritual roots, the qualifications are definitely relatively poor.

The people living in Yuling City are all casual cultivators, who are at the bottom of the entire world of cultivating immortals. Of course, the probability of their descendants being ordinary people is also the highest. These descendants of the monks grew up here and were accustomed to the life here. Of course, they did not want to leave Yuling City and live in a strange world.

Moreover, monks also need a lot of services. Many low-level casual monks cannot afford to hire the same monks to do work for them, so it is normal to hire a few ordinary people. Usually, just a little thing exposed between the fingers is enough for these ordinary people to live.

Then Liang Chongtian said again: "There are more than 100,000 people in the entire Yuling City. After deducting those ordinary people who cannot practice, there are still as many as 40,000 to 50,000 monks left. This number is much larger than that of the general sects of cultivating immortals." . However, the cultivation level of casual cultivators in Yuling City is generally relatively low. Nearly 90% of them are low-level cultivators in the Pulse Opening Stage. Only about 10% are in the Qi Refining Stage, and they are even rarer in the Foundation Building Stage. Compared with those who are cultivating immortals. Pie can’t be compared.”

This is normal. Those who can cultivate to a higher level are generally people with relatively good qualifications. Such people will definitely join the cultivating sect with more abundant cultivation resources, instead of slowly struggling in this Yuling City. Waste your own time.
