Everlasting

He followed the map and flew for more than seven thousand miles, and finally arrived at a city built on the top of a mountain.

"Is this Cangcheng?"

Chen Nianzhi's eyes moved slightly, and his sword fell in front of the city.

Cangcheng is one of the cities closest to Black Eagle Ridge. There is a third-level spiritual vein here. Three thousand years ago, it was the territory of the Zifu monsters. It was later captured by the Cangqing Sword Sect and a city was built here.

This city is mainly used to rent to casual cultivators in the Cangqiong Mountains. It is also one of the only Xiuxianfang cities in the Cangqing Mountains.

Chen Nianzhi stepped into the city and found that there were five to six thousand monks here. Most of them were Qi practitioners, and there were tens of thousands of mortal monks.

If placed in the Chu Kingdom, a third-level spiritual vein could breed millions of mortals if its location was not too bad. However, there are only tens of thousands of people here, which shows the harsh environment in the Cangqing Mountains. .

"Senior, judging from your appearance, is this your first time coming to Cang Qing Mountain?"

As soon as Chen Nianzhi stepped into the spiritual veins, he heard a voice.

He looked sideways and found a middle-aged man looking at him and saying with a smile on his face: "This junior has been here in Cangcheng for decades, so he is absolutely well-informed."

"Junior, I have all the news you want."

"Oh, tell me."

Chen Nianzhi's eyebrows moved slightly and he threw a spiritual stone over.

The man took the spirit stone and wiped it with joy.

There is no backer for casual cultivators, and cultivation is too difficult. For casual cultivators like him who are in the early stage of Qi training, they may not earn three or five spiritual stones throughout the year.

On weekdays, all he earns are broken spirit stones the size of his thumb. Even so, most of the spirit stones he earns every year are used to pay for the city's expenses.

Otherwise, once he is kicked out, not to mention the dangers of the outside world, even the source of spiritual energy for practice will be a big problem. After all, without the help of spiritual veins in Cangcheng, the thin spiritual energy between heaven and earth will make it difficult for him to practice.

From this point of view alone, the monks in the family are born with a favorable environment. The spiritual energy absorbed by the Chen family monks every year is worth a lot of money. If they rent a cave to practice, it will probably be almost as much as their own annual tribute.

Back to the topic, seeing that he was generous, this person quickly led Chen Nianzhi forward with great joy, and said excitedly as he walked.

"Senior, you are also here for the ancient repair cave, right?"

"Guxiudong Mansion?"

When Chen Nianzhi heard this, he frowned slightly and said calmly: "Tell me about it."

As the man talked, Chen Nianzhi probably understood what happened in the Cangqing Mountains.

It turns out that just a few years ago, news came out that an ancient cave mansion owned by Zi Mansion was about to reappear.

It is said that the cave is the training center of Zifu's loose cultivator Mo Taoist. Mo Taoist is a monk from thousands of years ago. This old man had extremely extraordinary opportunities and received the inheritance of high-level alchemy and formations when he was young.

It was precisely by relying on these two special skills that Taoist Mo cultivated all the way to the ninth level of Zifu, and was considered a famous person in the Cangqing Mountains.

Nowadays, there are rumors that the cave of this Zifu monk is about to appear, which has suddenly detonated the entire Cangqing Mountains. Many monks are searching for Mo Daoren's cave.

"The cave of the late monks of the Zi Mansion."

"The inheritance of high-level alchemy and formations."

Chen Nianzhi's eyebrows moved slightly, and there was some movement in his heart.

After a while, he suppressed his thoughts. This kind of inheritance was too precious, and there might be monks from the Zifu involved in it.

This is really dangerous. For him, purchasing the Renshui Crystal and refining the life magic weapon as soon as possible is the best way to break through the Zi Mansion.

After asking about the current situation in the Cangqing Mountains and confirming that there were no other abnormalities, Chen Nianzhi sent the guide away, and then rented a cave to restore his true energy.

After three days of repairs in Cangcheng, Chen Nianzhi flew into the Black Eagle Ridge territory with his sword.

Perhaps it was because the monk's search for the Ancient Xiu Cave made too much noise, attracting the attention of the demon clan, but the process of flying across the Black Eagle Ridge did not attract the pursuit of the purple mansion monsters.

There were no Zifu monsters chasing him, and most of the Foundation Establishment monsters couldn't fly, so he had an easy journey along the way.

He carefully flew at a low altitude, bypassing the demon clan's third-level and above spiritual veins, and flew more than 300,000 miles out of Black Eagle Ridge.

Then it took another two months to finally cross the Cangqing Mountains and reach the territory of Yan Kingdom.

After arriving in Yan Kingdom, he took a deep breath and realized that he had flown nearly two million miles along the way.

After arriving in the Yan Kingdom, Chen Nianzhi went straight to Yanshanfang, which was a third-level high-grade spiritual vessel.

This city is also the first line of defense for the Yan State against the monsters in the Cangqing Mountains. Its status in the Yan State is almost equivalent to that of Jiaoyang Mountain in the Chu State.

Of course, compared to Chu State, which is adjacent to the vast swamp, there are not many Jindan Demon Kings in the Cangqing Mountains, and the pressure on Yanshanfang is far inferior to that of Jiaoyang Mountain and Tianxu Mountain.

After entering Yanshanfang, Chen Nianzhi didn't delay much and went straight to Lingxi Pavilion, the largest store in Yanshanfang.

This Lingxi Pavilion is the property of the Deng family of the Jindan Immortal Clan in the Yan State. It is said that the Deng family is the strongest Jindan Clan in the Yan State. There are three Jindan monks in this family, and their ancestors are real people in the late Jindan period.

"I wonder if there are Renshui crystals for sale in Lingxi Pavilion?"

Chen Nianzhi's eyes moved slightly, and then he stepped in and out of Lingxi Pavilion.

The shopkeeper was an old man who was in the late stage of foundation building. When the man saw Chen Nianzhi's cultivation, he quickly stood up and welcomed him in.

The shopkeeper's eyes were venomous. At first glance, he felt that Chen Nianzhi was unfamiliar, so he said with a smile.

"Looking at fellow Taoist's appearance, he probably came from the Cangqing Mountains."

"Tao friendly eyesight." Chen Nianzhi nodded and said calmly: "To be honest, I am here to buy a Renshui crystal."

The shopkeeper frowned when he heard this, shook his head as he held his long beard, and said: "With my fellow Taoist's cultivation, he would not hesitate to cross a million miles of mountains to come to the Yan Kingdom, probably for the sake of the Renshui Crystal."

"It's a pity that I don't have such a thing in Lingxi Pavilion for the time being."

"Ah." Chen Nianzhi's expression changed slightly, and he couldn't help but said, "Fellow Taoist, please tell me where the Renshui Crystal can be sold."

The shopkeeper poured Chen Nianzhi a cup of tea and explained. "Although Yan State has many water and wood veins, this item is still extremely precious after all. It is usually only taken out and traded at auctions and barter conferences."

"Every ten years Thousand Star Island will hold a Foundation Building Exchange Conference. If you really want to get this thing, you have to go to Thousand Star Island."

"..."

After coming out of Lingxi Pavilion, Chen Nianzhi frowned and took out the map of Yan Kingdom to look at it.

Different from the terrain of Chu State, Yan State is a veritable land of water and wood. The entire Yan State spans millions of miles, but in fact the land only accounts for about 40% of the area.

The State of Yan is said to be a country, but it is actually not an exaggeration to say that it is a million-mile Yan Lake. It's just that Yan Lake is dotted with thousands of islands, large and small.

Among these islands, the largest one has a length and width of one hundred thousand miles, allowing the Jindan Immortal Clan to thrive. The smaller ones are only a dozen miles long, and are often occupied by Qi-training monks.

In this vast Yanhu Lake, the circulatory veins of water nourish the Earth Islands and give birth to a vast forest that is unique among the six countries of Jizhou.

Therefore, in Yan State, there is no shortage of Five Elements Water Veins and Earth Veins. This leads to monks from Yan State and Chu State often traveling back and forth just to exchange treasures such as the Renshui Crystal with each other.

At that time, Wei Xuyuan did not buy the Jiamu Crystal in the Chu State, but bought this treasure in the Yan State. This shows that it is much easier to buy this item in the Yan State.
