Chapter Thirty-Six: Prosperous Square City, Spiritual Grass for Nourishing Soul
The next day!
Cao Xiu stood at the street corner, looking at the crowds of people coming and going in front of him and couldn't help but exclaimed: "It is indeed a city under the Daluo Sect. How many monks are there in this city?"
"yes!"
Next to him, Chen Shi nodded and said, "I thought we already have quite a few monks in Jiangzhou City, but compared with Qingyun City, they are nothing to mention."
Not only is it not worth mentioning, there is simply no need to compare!
After all, Jiangzhou is still a mortal city, with a population of two to three hundred thousand, but the number of monks is only two to three hundred, and most of them are at the lowest level of Qi Entrainment and Yuan Ning Yuan.
.
Relying on this few monks, even the city could not support it. We had to unite the monk families and many casual cultivators in the cities under the jurisdiction of Jiangzhou County to create a fixed cultivation city.
But in Qingyun City, what you can see is that at least two or three out of ten people have spiritual energy fluctuations on their bodies.
You must know that this is a much larger city than Jiangzhou County. What a huge number of monks is this?
Even if the potential of the vast majority of monks in the city is not high, that is, without the guidance of a master, and not many resources to assist in cultivation, it is impossible for them to shed their mortal bodies and develop supernatural powers in their lifetime, but they have finally entered the ranks of monks. If they can achieve it in the future.
Opportunities may not necessarily fly into the sky.
In fact, there are quite a few examples like this. Every few tens or hundreds of years, there will be one or two beings who by chance obtain treasures or inheritances from their predecessors, thereby breaking the shackles and cultivating supernatural powers or even higher realms.
Moreover, so many monks have invisibly led to the continuous transformation of the entire city's industry in terms of cultivation. There are actually cultivation markets in all four directions, and countless spiritual items are sold in each market.
The two of them saw countless miraculous elixirs, countless magic weapons, talismans, and refining materials here, and there were also many treasures that they couldn't tell what they were. They were overwhelmed by what they saw!
In addition to the more than 100 spiritual stones distributed yesterday, Cao Xiu's Treasure Map Cave also contains a lot of things compensated by the Cao family. Although some were left for his mother and younger brother, most of them are still on him.
At first he thought he was rich, but now he saw that the spiritual stones he had were nothing here.
Don't talk about anything else, just look at those antique-decorated attics, each piece of magic weapon that can move thousands or even tens of thousands of spiritual stones, bottles of miraculous elixirs that are said to help people break through realms or have other effects, a variety of various kinds.
He could not afford to buy any of the spiritual objects of heaven and earth obtained through dangerous adventures.
If it weren't for the cave world and the many elixirs it produced, Cao Xiu would have almost thought that he was a pauper.
However, when he saw a young man of a similar age but wearing a gorgeous robe randomly throwing away thousands of spiritual stones to buy a spiritual object he didn't recognize, he immediately threw all his thoughts behind him.
Compared with the other party, I am really a pauper!
Not to mention that the young man treated the spirit stones as if they were nothing and behaved lavishly. Just the robe that he was wearing probably cost thousands of spirit stones.
Looking at the protective jade pendant with brilliant aura around this man's waist, and the two spiritual weapon rings with restrained aura on his hand, neither of them is something he can afford.
Cao Xiu looked at the ordinary blue cloth clothes he was wearing, shook his head, turned around and pulled Chen Shi away from the city, and headed to the south of the city.
Although the four cities in the east, west, south and north of Qingyun City are all very lively, the north side of the city is the closest to Daluo Mountain, so many big forces operate here.
In addition to the industries operated by Daluo Sect, forces specializing in various cultivation industries such as Duobao Pavilion, Ruyifang, Qiqiao Palace, Xiuyi Tower, Danding Sect, etc. have also placed their industries in Qingyun City.
It's in the north of the city, so any monk who is worth a lot of money will come here to look for treasures!
In comparison, the two cities in the east and west of the city are much more normal, but the one most friendly to the lower-level monks is in the south of the city!
Of course, the most confusing part is also here.
It’s not that there are people buying and selling here by force. The main reason is that in addition to the many shops on both sides of the road, there are also many casual cultivators setting up stalls on the street, selling spiritual items that they have no use for or that they have gained through adventure.
!
Therefore, this place has the largest number of people and is the most chaotic. It is not as grand as Chengbeifang City!
But occasionally, someone can find some good stuff here.
After all, many casual cultivators have limited eyesight. Even if they pick up something while wandering around, they may not be able to recognize what it is, and they may be picked up by someone who knows the goods!
Therefore, many monks who think they have extraordinary eyesight come here with the intention of hunting for treasures.
In particular, many disciples of the Daluo Sect, under the guidance of their elders, have a vision far beyond that of ordinary casual cultivators, and they will come here to hang out when they have free time.
After all, not all Daluo Sect disciples are wealthy, especially the outer disciples who do not have family support. It is not easy for them to accumulate resources for cultivation!
When Cao Xiu and Cao Xiu arrived in Chengnanfang City, they immediately felt the excitement that was completely different from that in the north of the city.
Properties owned by big forces like Duobao Pavilion and Xiuyi Tower never worry about lack of business, so they won't stand outside and yell.
But here, there are many mortal clerks employed in the shops who are very enthusiastic. From time to time, they will invite passing monks to come into the shop to have a look. Coupled with the many casual monks setting up stalls, it makes this place like a mortal market.
, it’s just that all the items sold here are all kinds of spiritual items.
The two of them were no strangers to this kind of environment, and they blended into it naturally, looking around and marveling at the spiritual creatures they had never seen before.
"Hey, look over there!"
Chen Shi pointed to a few red stones randomly placed on the ground by a casual cultivator: "It turns out to be red copper ore. My father would be very happy if he saw this.
He had made several magical weapons out of red copper before, but later he ran out of materials, so he could only take on the work of ordinary sharp weapons!"
Cao Xiu smiled: "Then when we go home to visit relatives, buy some for Uncle Chen and take them back!"
"well!"
Chen Shi sighed: "I really want to enter the outer gate, but I don't know when I can go back!"
"Don't worry, my dad seemed to go back once or twice every year!"
Cao Xiu comforted him.
As for the reason why his father traveled freely between the family and the sect in the first place, he actually did not mention that he and his father were inner disciples and had extremely fast flying magic weapons.
What's more, as long as the outer disciples complete the tasks assigned by the sect, they don't have time to go back and take a look.
Just when the two of them were wandering around to open their eyes, they suddenly heard a scornful voice in front of them: "Little girl, your elixir is not old enough and the fire is not strong enough. I will give you ten spiritual stones, which is considered a high price."
, why are you still not satisfied?"
Then a soft female voice sounded: "This is the soul-nurturing grass that my family has cultivated for many years. After selling the spirit stone, I still need to buy elixirs for my mother-in-law to treat her injuries. The price you gave me is too low, I can't sell it!"
The voice was soft and gentle, but also revealed a bit of cowardice and grievance.
Cao Xiu looked along the sound and couldn't help but be startled!
