If you ask where the most prosperous place in the Immortal Cultivation World in Liuyun Continent is, all the monks in the Immortal Cultivation World in Liuyun Continent will say it is Liuyun Immortal City.
In fact, Liuyun Immortal City has developed to this day and is no longer just a fairy city, but a super power with Liuyun Immortal City as its core.
This big force is not as vast as the "Tiandao League" and "Xuanqing Taoist League". It is a business alliance with Liuyun Immortal City as the core and composed of twenty-eight fairy cities and more than a hundred cities.
Known as the "Liuyun Business Alliance" by the outside world
It may not be the most powerful super power, but it is definitely the richest super power.
Here, as long as you have spirit stones, you can buy most spiritual objects below level six, including many unique treasures from other immortal worlds.
Even in Liuyunxian City, there are other specialty stores opened by some superpowers in the world of immortality, specializing in selling some treasures that are not found in the world of Liuyunzhou.
Zhou Yang has heard about the name of Liuyun Immortal City for a long time, but unfortunately due to various reasons, he has never come here to broaden his horizons.
This time, taking advantage of the opportunity to meet Taoist companion Xiao Ying, he finally had the opportunity to get what he wanted.
Before arriving at the real Liuyun Immortal City, Zhou Yang had already fully felt the prosperity here.
In the entire "Liuyun Merchant Alliance" area, there are a high density of Lingshan Blessed Lands of various grades. A mountain peak, a lake, or a piece of riverbank grassland all contain spiritual veins.
Moreover, in these places where spiritual veins exist, the utilization rate of the spiritual veins has reached an astonishing level.
Large areas of orchards and medicine gardens are usually opened up on Lingshan Mountain, and many low-level monks, Ling Zhifu, work hard every day to cultivate the spiritual fruits and elixirs in the orchards and medicine gardens.
A large number of aquatic spiritual beasts are cultivated in the lake. Lotus, water chestnut and other aquatic spiritual plants are planted on a large scale on the lake. There are low-level monks who are responsible for raising and caring for these spiritual beasts and spiritual plants. They live in a house by the lake every day.
Feed and repel insects.
Fertile and flat places like riverbank grasslands are planted with a large number of first-order spiritual grasses with weak spiritual energy, and cattle, sheep, deer, horses and other herbivorous spiritual beasts are grazed on a large scale.
Special caravans will come to receive the animal meat, spiritual fruits and other spiritual objects produced in these places every once in a while, and transport them to nearby markets and fairy cities for processing and sale.
From breeding and planting, to processing and transportation, to putting it on the shelves for sale, a complete industry chain of cultivating immortals was clearly displayed in Zhou Yang's sight.
The Zhou family has been working on this kind of industrial chain, but compared with the industrial chain established by the "Liuyun Merchant Alliance", the Zhou family's industrial chain is simply not worth mentioning.
From the number of types of raw materials, the number of processed varieties, the number of customer groups sold and the number of shipments, the Zhou family's industrial chain is so pitiful.
According to Zhou Yang's understanding, after countless years of development, the "Liuyun Merchant Alliance" has even established a part of the high-end treasure industry chain.
For example, the fourth-level elixir, the fifth-level elixir, the fourth-level spiritual talisman, and the fifth-level spiritual talisman. These things can be refined in large quantities by picking high-level elixirs and herbs from medicine gardens and spiritual fields.
In Liuyunxian City, there is a huge elixir garden covering an area of more than 100,000 acres, which can produce a large number of high-level elixirs every year. At the same time, for tens of thousands of years, the "Liuyun Merchant Alliance" has established some high-level elixirs in the territory.
Several high-level elixir gardens have been established on Lingshan Mountain. Every year, these high-level elixir gardens can provide a large amount of high-level elixirs for elixir refining.
While monks in other places have to work hard to search for spiritual herbs and elixirs in wilderness areas in order to refine elixirs and make talismans, the "Liuyun Merchant Alliance" has already completed a high-end industrial chain of self-production and sales.
Of course, this alone cannot afford the needs of a business alliance, so in the entire Liuyun Continent cultivation world, and even in other immortal worlds, there are businessmen from the "Liuyun Business Alliance" purchasing various high-level products everywhere.
The raw materials are then transported back to Unzen City for processing.
Zhou Yang, who has memories of his past life, is extremely aware of the horror of this complete high-end industrial chain.
He knew that sects such as Xuanyang Immortal Sect and other sects with a long history, even if they had no intention of establishing such a high-end industrial chain, could still produce high-level elixirs on a large scale to a certain extent through the vast territory occupied by the sects.
Talisman is for use by sect monks.
But they can never achieve the long-term stable mass production of "Liuyun Merchant Alliance". This can be known from Zhou Yang's many visits to Xuanyang Pavilion, but he did not find many fifth-level elixirs and magic weapons for sale there.
As far as he knew, these things in Liuyunxian City could be purchased with spirit stones. Of course, the price would be very expensive.
Based on this alone, it is absolutely correct to say that Liuyun Immortal City is the most prosperous place in the world of Immortal Cultivation in Liuyun Continent.
When Zhou Yang got closer to Liuyun Immortal City, he felt this deeply.
It is not that he has never seen a monk in the world. Although he has been forming pills for less than a hundred years, he has already traveled to the two great immortal worlds, Liuyunzhou Immortal Realm and Extreme West Land Cultivation Realm. He has visited not even a hundred immortal cities.
Eighty, he has a very simple method of judging whether a fairy city is prosperous or not.
That is to observe the monks and caravans coming and going outside the fairy city. Even if those prosperous fairy cities are hundreds or thousands of miles away, no matter which direction you go, you can see many monks and caravans going in and out of the fairy city on the road.
Don't think that because all immortal cultivators have storage bags and storage rings, they think that caravans don't exist.
First of all, how many things can be packed in a storage bag?
And if a monk carries too many storage bags on his body, can he not attract the eyes of those with ulterior motives?
Secondly, the storage bag basically has no protection. Once it encounters a battle, it is easily damaged. Once the storage bag is damaged, most of the contents inside will be destroyed.
This makes people afraid to put all valuable goods in a small storage bag.
As for the storage ring, not to mention that the monks who can use this kind of storage magic weapon must have at least a Zifu level cultivation level. Just let a Zifu level monk carry this magic weapon to work as a porter.
Transporting basic spiritual items such as low-level ores and spiritual grains is not cost-effective in terms of value.
Therefore, caravans not only exist in the world of immortality, but are also extremely active.
Zhou Yang didn't know much about Liuyun Immortal City and couldn't say much, but he had some understanding of the situation in Xianyang City.
A large fairy city like Xianyang City with more than 100,000 monks consumes millions of kilograms of spiritual rice every month. This only counts the consumption of immortal cultivators.
But in fact, many monks who have the conditions will let some mortal descendants in their families also eat spiritual rice to strengthen their bodies and extend their lifespan.
Ninety-nine percent of the consumed spiritual rice was purchased and transported by caravans from various places in Daoxuan Kingdom. The same materials also include various types of spiritual meat, spiritual fruits, spiritual wine and other daily necessities.
Since these caravans do not agree to arrive together, caravans consisting of dozens or even hundreds of camel beasts can be seen on the flat roads outside Xianyang City almost every day.
At this moment, Zhou Yang is still two to three thousand miles away from Liuyun Immortal City, but if he looks down from the air, he can see one or more merchants under different banners every tens or ten miles.
Team silhouette.
Among some large caravans, Zhou Yang even saw the figures of escorting monks with Zifu stage cultivation.
At the same time, on the way, Zhou Yang also saw the figures of monks rushing to Liuyun Immortal City through various means, and there were even some golden elixir stage monks like him among them.
All of these prove from the side the prosperity of Liuyun Fairy City.
Another thing that made Zhou Yang realize a lot is that in order to facilitate communication between various fairy cities and cities within the territory, the "Liuyun Merchant Alliance" specially tamed a fourth-level monster "Cloud Whale Beast" as a passenger camel
The beasts are driven by monks from the Zifu period to travel around the country, transporting monks in need in various fairy cities and square cities within the territory.
Although this "cloud whale beast" is only a fourth-level monster, its body is over a hundred feet long and its back is dozens of feet wide. It looks like a whale in the sea, but it has wide membrane wings on both sides, and it is born with the ability to control airflow to fly.
It has the ability to enter and exit the sea of clouds, even if it flies for several days and nights without rest.
What's even better is that this kind of "cloud whale beast" has a docile personality. As long as it is not attacked, it will not take the initiative to hurt people. After the domestication of the "cloud whale beast", even if a weak mortal stands on its back, it will not hurt anyone.
It will show dissatisfaction and is a very good choice for camels.
A "cloud whale beast" can hold thousands of seats on its back. Every time it goes to a fairy city or a city outside the "Liuyun Merchant Alliance", it will land to pick up the monks who need to take a ride.
Since the "Cloud Whale Beast" flies faster and more smoothly than the Foundation Establishment monks, most of the Foundation Establishment monks are willing to spend a few or more than a dozen spirit stones to ride on the "Cloud Whale Beast".
The "Liuyun Merchant Alliance" can easily earn back the spiritual stones spent on purchasing the "Cloud Whale Beast" just by collecting these tolls.
Yes, these "Cloud Whale Beasts" were purchased by the "Liuyun Merchant Alliance".
According to Zhou Yang's inquiry, the origin of "Cloud Whale Beasts" is the overseas world of immortality, and the number of wild "Cloud Whale Beasts" is extremely rare. Most of the "Cloud Whale Beasts" in the world of immortality come from several large overseas countries.
The zoo of power.
Those overseas powers domesticate "cloud whale beasts" and only sell males to the outside world. Even if they occasionally sell females, they are the kind that have lost their fertility.
Even so, not everyone can buy a spiritual beast of great strategic value like the "Cloud Whale Beast".
In the entire Liuyunzhou Immortal Cultivation World, only the "Liuyun Merchant Alliance" spent a lot of money to purchase some "Cloud Whale Beasts" from the overseas Cultivation World to use as passenger camel beasts.
Other superpowers may also be able to buy it, but there is no need to do so, because the "Cloud Whale Beast" that leaves the sea requires a lot of spiritual stones to maintain, and they do not have the conditions of the "Liuyun Merchant Alliance", so they can just collect tolls.
Earn these spiritual stones back.
Following such a "cloud whale beast", Zhou Yang finally arrived outside Liuyunxian City at sunset.
Under the afterglow of the setting sun, Zhou Yang looked at Liuyun Immortal City from high in the sky, and was greatly shocked in his heart.
This fairy city is built around a sky-reaching peak, and in the center of the city is the "Liuyun Fairy Mountain", known as the number one spiritual mountain in the world of immortality cultivation in Liuyun Continent.
Liuyunxian Mountain is 8,800 feet high, towering into the clouds, even higher than the main peak of Duanyun Mountain Range, Jietian Peak.
This fairy mountain is in an area above three thousand feet and is covered by formations all year round. Only high-level monks from the "Liuyun Merchant Alliance" are qualified to enter the area above to practice.
The area below three thousand feet is the core and most prosperous commercial district of Liuyunxian City. The average number of spiritual stones traded there every day is said to reach tens of millions!
The commercial area is only for trading. Even if there are cave residences, they are only for the use of those shop owners.
Therefore, the real residential area and industrial area of Liuyunxian City are still in the vast urban area outside the core business area.
That is really an extremely vast urban area!
The entire Liuyunxian City, surrounding Liuyunxian Mountain in the central area, is in an irregular circle, and the depth of any side of the city is more than a thousand miles. If the area occupied by Liuyunxian Mountain is included, the width of the city must be close to three meters.
Thousands of miles!
According to incomplete statistics, the number of immortal cultivators in Liuyun Immortal City remains at more than 200,000 all year round. About 30% of them are low-level monks working for the "Liuyun Merchant Alliance", and 40% come here as tourists.
Thirty percent of the monks are monks who have settled here to practice.
In addition, there are hundreds of thousands of mortals living in this vast city. Most of them are mortals who have some relationship with various families in the "Liuyun Merchant Alliance". They are able to live in the city and do the dirty and tiring things that those cultivators are unwilling to do.
manual labor.
Even so, the vast urban area still looks extremely empty. The bustling traffic and crowding of people like in ordinary cities will definitely not occur in this kind of fairy city, even in the most prosperous core.
The same is true for business districts.
Immortal cultivators attach great importance to private space. Even if everyone knows that the Immortal City is safe, when walking on the street, two strangers who are strangers to cultivators will deliberately keep a distance of more than ten feet.
This is also one of the main reasons why various fairy cities still build such large fairy cities even though the number of permanent residents is obviously small.
One thing that is very different from other fairy cities is that Liuyun Fairy City does not prohibit travel, does not charge entry fees or stay fees, and does not even need to register the status of monks entering the city, even if it is symbolic.
In other words, any monk can enter and leave Liuyun Immortal City at will.
But this does not mean that the public security in Liuyunxian City is poor.
On the contrary, as a fairy city with very strong commercial attributes, Liuyun Fairy City attaches more importance to the public security in the city than any other fairy city.
In Liuyunxian City, monitoring arrays and magic weapons are placed everywhere, and there are city guards patrolling everywhere.
Any monk who dares to hurt anyone in the city will be captured and severely punished, or even shot to death on the spot.
Over the past thousands of years, we can count on one hand all the monks who were able to escape safely after hurting people in Liuyunxian City.
There was once a direct descendant of a Yuanying-stage monk from a large sect who used his status to injure people in the city and resisted arrest. In the end, he was shot dead on the spot.
But in the end, the Nascent Soul stage monk didn't even dare to have the slightest thought of revenge, and swallowed it hard.
This shows how good the public security in Liuyunxian City is.
After Zhou Yang arrived outside the city, he was not in a hurry to enter the city. Instead, he took out the "Lingxi Jade Pendant" from his storage ring and sent a message to Taoist companion Xiao Ying.
Not long after this, a green sword light flew out from the fairy city and fell directly in front of Zhou Yang, revealing Xiao Ying's pretty face full of joy.
Half an hour later, Xiao Ying, with tears still on her face, took Zhou Yang into her cave in Liuyun Immortal City.
This cave is located on a fourth-level high-grade spiritual mountain. In a place like Liuyun Immortal City where every inch of land is precious, the annual rent for such a cave alone exceeds 5,000 low-grade spiritual stones.
"Since Senior Qingyang told me the truth, I brought Xuewei and the others to Liuyun Fairy City. Because I don't know when you will come back, Lord Dao, I have been waiting for the news while using alchemy to make money here.
Collect spiritual stones to supply daily needs."
"This cave now belongs to Liu's Alchemy House, which is cooperating with me. Because I have mainly helped their alchemy studio to refine pills over the years and earned a lot of spiritual stones for them, I lent it to me for free for use as a shelter.
The place.”
"I usually live in the cave to refine elixirs, but Xuewei often takes Tongxuan and the others to practice outside. A few years ago, this girl followed the caravan to places hundreds of thousands of miles away without telling me. It's really
It became more and more outrageous. Afterwards, I punished her by facing the wall and thinking about it for half a year, which finally made her calm down a little bit!"
"Husband, I haven't told her the news of your return yet. I'll call them over to see you in a few days."
On the jade bed in the cave, Xiao Ying leaned in Zhou Yang's arms and slowly told him her experiences in the years since Zhou Yang had been away in a low voice.
After Zhou Yang heard what the Taoist monk said, he immediately whispered with an apologetic look on his face: "I have worked hard on you Ying'er these years. Everything is my husband's fault. It is my husband who deceived you, and I am sorry for you..."
"When I first heard Senior Qingyang tell the truth of the matter, I was indeed full of hatred towards you, my husband. But after that, I calmed down and understood your concerns, husband. I understood that you chose to do this because you were afraid that I would be worried.
If you deceive and conceal, there will naturally be no hatred.”
Xiao Ying whispered, looking up at the man's guilt-filled face, raising her jade hand, gently stroking the man's smooth, jade-like face, and murmured to herself with mist in her beautiful eyes: "
It’s just that husband, you and I are one Taoist couple, and we have nothing to say. I would rather worry and pray for you every day than to deceive me. If something happens to you, I won’t even know why something happened to you.
Know!"
"No! I swear to my husband that I will never deceive you again, Ying'er!"
Zhou Yang stretched out his hand and hugged the Taoist couple's body tightly, bringing their hearts together tightly. He said in a firm and powerful voice: "No matter what happens in the future, I will face it with you, absolutely."
I won’t leave you alone again!”
Xiao Ying said she was worried about him. During the decades he had been in the "Qiongtian Wonderland", he had often worried about him.
At that time, he was worried that if Xiao Ying failed to leave Xianyang City in time, she would be harmed by the "Tian Tian Splitting Demon" who was madly retaliating against the Xuanyang Immortal Sect.
He was also afraid that something would happen to Xiao Ying in the Duanyun Mountains when she followed his arrangement and returned to the boundless sand sea to cultivate immortality.
This kind of fear made him tortured inside, so he also reflected on whether his decision to conceal the deception was really appropriate.
Now he finally reunited with Xiao Ying. Listening to Xiao Ying's sincere words, he knew that he was indeed wrong.
The young couple made an oath to each other, and soon some of the frustrations in their hearts melted away, and Zhou Yang also took advantage of the opportunity to bring up the issue of Xiao Ying's formation of elixirs.
When he went to the "Qiongtian Fairyland", Xiao Ying was already at the ninth level of the Purple Mansion. Now forty-five years have passed, and the matter of forming pills has become urgent and cannot be delayed any longer.
"When Senior Qingyang returned your storage ring to your husband, he said that according to the agreement with your husband, he also handed a [Jade Liquid Golden Elixir] into my hands. However, since this thing is precious, I am not sure whether it is still the same.
Don't use it lightly. Secondly, in these years, I have been worried about your husband all the time, and I have no time to retreat and form elixirs."
As Xiao Ying spoke, she took off two storage rings from her jade hand and handed them to Zhou Yang, returning them to their original owners.
"Liuyun Immortal City is a good place. Ying'er, it's safer for you to form pills here than anywhere else."
"As for those spiritual objects that are formed into pills, you don't have to worry. My husband will prepare them for you. We have enough spiritual stones now, so we don't have to worry about not being able to afford these things!"
Zhou Yang took the storage ring and put it on, patted the several storage rings on his hand with a generous expression, and took over the task of helping the Taoist monks to form elixirs in one go.
"My husband is saying that as long as there are spirit stones in Liuyunxian City, you can buy anything. I happen to have a good relationship with Liu's Danfang, so you might as well ask them to help buy these things. They are local snakes. Buying these things is definitely better than
It’s much more convenient for us to buy it ourselves.”
Xiao Ying pursed her lips and smiled. She was very heart-warmed by the man's heroic behavior of spending a lot of money for her, and she couldn't help but smile and express her opinion.
Zhou Yang already knew from her previous description that the Liu Family Alchemy House she was talking about was an official member of the "Liuyun Merchant Alliance" and the property of the Liu Family in Hongliu River.
The Liu family has only been a member of the "Liuyun Merchant Alliance" for more than a thousand years, and their qualifications are not very old. There is now one Jindan-level monk and five Zifu-level monks in their clan, and they control a large-scale workshop outside.
The city's "Luoyanfang" mainly deals in various types of elixirs and elixirs.
Liu's Alchemy House is the most important industry of the Liu family in Liuyunxian City. Originally, there was only one fourth-level mid-level alchemist from the Liu family in charge. In a place like Liuyunxian City, the small Liu Family's Alchemy House could barely survive.
It’s hard to say how profitable it is.
However, after Xiao Ying, who had been promoted to a fourth-level high-grade alchemist, joined in, the elixirs produced by Liu's Alchemy Factory finally gained some fame in Liuyunxian City, and won a certain reputation among some Zifu monk circles.
.
Because of this, the Liu family was willing to lend this fourth-level high-grade cave to Xiao Ying to live in, in order to attract her to work for the Liu family's alchemy workshop for a long time.
Xiao Ying really wanted to buy something to assist in forming elixirs, so it was indeed a good move to ask the Liu family to help with the purchase. At least the Liu family must have hoped that she could form a golden elixir in one fell swoop, and then help Liu's Danfang earn more spiritual stones.
.
But the most gratifying thing for Zhou Yang is that Xiao Ying has finally gained experience and knows how to make the best use of the resources at her disposal.
To know this kind of thing, Xiao Ying, who had just gone to the boundless sand sea with him to cultivate immortality, would definitely not be able to do it.
He nodded slightly with a look of relief on his face and said:
"That's fine. Since Yinger you trust the Liu family, let them do this. My husband's identity is sensitive. Even though he has a mask to hide his identity, it's not good for him to get too close to you, lest people guess through you.
Reveal your husband’s true identity.”
"Next, I will rent a fifth-level cave in Liuyun Immortal City as a temporary practice place, and buy some useful spiritual objects. It would be better if I could buy a few copies of [Purple Heart Chalcedony].
