Leshui City is located in the far east of Daying Chao. After leaving the city, there is the boundless demon territory of the Eastern Wilderness. Cultivators often go deep into the Eastern Wilderness to hunt monsters, obtain demon pills, or pick exotic flowers and fruits.
Therefore, although Dongshui City is far away from the dirty underbelly of the Great Victory Dynasty, it is still quite prosperous. It is a small city with a population of more than 100,000. Cultivators account for a large proportion, and the Xiuzhenfang City is quite lively.
There are three major cultivation families in Leshui City, the Gu family, the Yun family, and the Liu family.
The three major cultivation families control the cultivation resources of Leshui City. The mortals in the city rely on the three major cultivation families for survival. After years of development, the three major families have already clearly divided their spheres of influence.
The Gu family is located in Dongcheng and is in charge of the ore and charm business.
The Yun family is located in Nancheng and is in charge of the herbal medicine and elixir business.
The Liu family is located in Beicheng and is in charge of various magic weapon businesses.
Xicheng is the fourth largest force in Leshui City. It is the government of the Daying Dynasty. Although the strength of the government may not be as strong as the three major cultivating families, the government represents the Imperial Court and is the most powerful group of cultivators in the entire Daying Dynasty, not to mention the Le Shui Dynasty.
The three major cultivating families in Shuicheng are the major sects that have been cultivating immortals for more than a thousand years. Even if they are enemies of the Imperial Court, they may end up being bloodbathed and their inheritance will be cut off.
The Imperial Court was the largest immortal cultivating force in the Great Victory Dynasty.
If Gu Chen wants to buy elixirs, he naturally has to go to the territory of the Yun family in Nancheng. All casual cultivators who enter the Eastern Wasteland to pick elixirs and hunt demon pills must go to Nancheng to sell them in Leshui City, and the Yun family will take 10% of the tax.
.
This is a rule formulated by the three major families after countless years of fighting, and it is also a rule recognized by the government. Anyone who dares to violate it will be subject to double sanctions from the three major cultivation families and the government.
Similarly, if you want to sell various weapon-training raw materials, minerals, and charms, you must go to the market of the Gu family in Dongcheng, and the Gu family will extract 10% of the tax.
Take 10% of the tax.
The three major cultivation families submit a certain amount of spiritual stones and wild coins to the government every year. The four major forces join forces with each other and at the same time check and balance each other to maintain the social development of Leshui City.
In Nancheng, there are also shops owned by the Gu family, but according to the rules, they have to submit 10% tax to the Yun family. The same goes for the Yun family if they want to sell ore, they must go to Dongcheng to do so.
The east, south and north districts of Leshui City sell different types of cultivation products respectively, which makes the market in Leshui City more prosperous. Many cultivators from other places are willing to bring their goods to Leshui City to sell them, because the market in Leshui City
Unified, structurally standardized.
The spiritual herbs that Gu Chen wants to buy are still Ice Dream Grass, Imperial Blood Grass, and Snow Lotus. The only difference is that they need to be more than 100 years old. The elixir made from these three spiritual herbs can always allow Gu Chen to enter the innate realm. However, the difference is that
The year of the spiritual grass required by each level is different.
There are nine levels in the Houtian realm. The first, second and third levels are in the early stage and only require more than 50 years of spiritual herbs. The fourth, fifth and sixth levels are in the middle stage and require more than 100 years of spiritual herbs. The seventh, eighth and ninth levels are in the middle stage and require more than 100 years of spiritual herbs.
The next level is the later stage, which requires more than 150 years of spiritual grass.
Gu Chen quickly bought the spiritual herbs he needed. The market here is unified and the selling prices are very different. Although Gu Chen is only ten years old, he has 500 years of life experience and is a master of elixirs. It is absolutely impossible.
Got cheated.
He also bought all the ingredients needed to practice medicine, which almost used up all Gu Chen’s savings. Although the ingredients are quite cheap, ice dream grass, royal blood grass, and snow lotus that are over 100 years old are expensive. Gu Chen is here
Although the status of the Gu family is not high, as the honorary grandson of the patriarch, he still has a lot of pocket money, so he barely managed to buy all the spiritual herbs he needed. As for whether he needs spiritual herbs in the future, he will figure out a way later.
Standing on the street, looking at the flow of people coming and going, Gu Chen couldn't help but sigh. It's not easy to live life again. You must cherish this life and never let it go through in vain. When the time comes, you will walk alone.
The road to hell.
Gu Chen was feeling the passion of life and was in a trance. Suddenly, a breeze came from behind, and then someone bumped into his back. Gu Chen was secretly ashamed. He should have been able to avoid that breeze, but because of
I was in a trance, and my vigilance had actually dropped to this level.
"You're such a good person, why are you standing on the street and walking into other people's paths? Haven't you heard that a good dog doesn't block the road?" I heard the angry voice of a young man. I dared him to bump into someone else, and he felt very unhappy.
"You are living a life that is too ordinary, don't you? You dare to bump into my young master..."
"How dare you be disrespectful to my young master..."
The voices of a group of domestic slaves followed the boy's voice.
Gu Chen turned around and saw a young man of similar age to him. Just as Gu Chen expected, there was no one else but Yun Chao, the youngest son of the head of the Yun family, such an arrogant playboy in Nancheng.
However, Gu Chen's eyes did not stay on Yun Chao's face, but fell on a beautiful girl next to Yun Chao, with surprise in his eyes.
This girl looked very similar to Yun Chao. When Gu Chen looked at her, the memory of her quickly appeared in his mind.
Her name is Yun Xue, she is the youngest daughter of Yun Jinghong, the head of the Yun family. She and Yun Chao are twins from the same child. She is one year older than Gu Chen. She is very beautiful. Together with Gu Chan of the Gu family, she is also known as the "Shuang Shuang".
Jiao.
Of course, these are not important. What is important is that she has an identity that has a significant relationship with Gu Chen, which can be regarded as a shame for Gu Chen in his youth.
Yunxue's grandfather Yun Xian and Gu Xian were close friends. When Gu Chen was born, he and Yun Xue were arranged to have a baby marriage. However, Yun Xian did not live as long as Gu Xian, and Gu Chen died when he was five years old.
The head of the Yun family was inherited by Yun Xue's father, Yun Jinghong.
The extremely beautiful girl in front of her is Gu Chen's fiancée.
Gu Chen confirmed in his mind that Yun Xue was indeed her fiancée when she was ten years old.
Yun Jinghong and Gu Cangyue were of the same age and had a very good friendship. In the previous life, when Gu Chen was twelve years old, Gu Cangyue defeated all the competitors in the clan leader competition meeting and became the patriarch of the Gu family. During the celebration of the clan leader
At the banquet, Yun Jinghong brought Yun Xue to congratulate Gu Cangyue. In front of all the congratulators, he canceled the engagement between Gu Chen and Yun Xue at the banquet and instead betrothed Yun Xue to Gu Cangyue.
His youngest son Gu Song.
Because of this incident, Gu Chen's father Gu Cangqiong was so angry that he vomited blood on the spot and almost died.
Although these things had been buried in the depths of Gu Chen's mind, now that he saw Yun Xue again, these memories were tumbling violently in his mind.
This was the first shame in his life.
"I asked who was standing stupidly on the street. It turned out to be Gu Chen, you loser."
Yun Chao laughed, his eyes full of contempt. Seeing that Gu Chen didn't even look at him, but only stared at Yun Xue, his tone became angry: "What are you looking at, you loser, be careful I'll dig out your eyeballs."
Gu Chen recovered from his memories and felt a lot in his heart. He just smiled and said, "What a coincidence, Yun Chao, Yun Xue."
In the previous life, the Gu family was wiped out when Gu Chen was 13 years old. Naturally, Yun Xue did not marry Gu Song. After Gu Chen escaped from Leshui City, he never saw her again. It was already a hundred years since he returned to Leshui City.
Many years later, when his cultivation reached the Life Spring realm, all the enemies who destroyed the family had already died, and the Yun family had been passed down for several generations.
It was Yun Jinghong's order to break off the engagement, and it was no wonder that Yun Xue was there. However, Gu Chen didn't have a good impression of her either.
Although Gu Chen and Yun Xue were arranged to be married by two old men, they were not familiar with each other and met only a handful of times. On the contrary, it was because Yun Jinghong had a good friendship with Gu Cangyue and had a close relationship with Gu Cangyue.
His son Gu Song has more close contact with him.
In his previous life, Gu Chen was weak and only reached the second level of the acquired world when he was ten years old. However, Gu Song was a genius disciple of the Gu family and had already reached the sixth level of the acquired world at the age of 12. He was the key training target of the Gu family.
In her heart, she would definitely choose Gu Song.
Yun Xue nodded slightly to Gu Chen, with a disappointed expression on his face.
Yun Chao still glared at Gu Chen.
After a moment of silence, Gu Chen realized that he had nothing to say to them. He had lived for 500 years in his previous life, and the engagement contract he had had when he was a boy had already vanished in his heart. To him, the two people in front of him were completely different.
For those who are not related, the only thing that is not smooth in their hearts is that when he was twelve years old in his previous life, at the celebration of the head of the Gu family, his father was so angry that he vomited blood because Yun Jinghong regretted his marriage in public.
In this life, such a thing will never happen again, Gu Chen made up his mind.
Nodding to the two of them, Gu Chen turned around and walked towards Dongcheng. Since there was nothing to say, there was no need to say more.
Although Yun Chao and Yun Xue were a little surprised when Gu Chen turned around and left, he didn't say anything more. There was only a paper agreement between them, and there was no hint of affection.
The purchased spiritual grass was refined into spiritual liquid, and coupled with the daily exercise of the powerful Vajra Fist, it was enough to raise his cultivation level to the fourth level. What Gu Chen wanted to do most now was to improve his strength, and after solving the family's accident
, then went to the Xutian Sect in Tianfeng, Lingxu Mountain, to meet the master and senior sister whom he missed day and night as soon as possible.
