After leaving the State of Li and entering the State of Song, Zhang Zhixuan and the others immediately felt that the customs were very different.
When the state of Wu was strong and powerful, the characters of the vassal states such as the state of Yu and the state of Li were the same as those of the state of Wu. Although the accents of each country were different, they could communicate with each other. But after coming to the Song state, no matter the language or writing, they could communicate with each other.
The customs and habits are completely different from those of Yu State.
The Danyang Sect was the only one in the Song Dynasty, and almost all the more than 30 cities and towns in the Song Dynasty were controlled by the Danyang Sect.
Close to the border of Li State, there is a fourth-level spiritual vein Green Peach Mountain. There is a green peach on the mountain that is thousands of years old, and it produces a lot of spiritual fruits for the Danyang Sect every year.
There is a Fangshi at the foot of Qingtao Mountain. The layout of Fangshi is somewhat like Heishan Fangshi. There is only one main street in the whole Fangshi. This street is lined up from east to west, with dozens of houses built on the north and south sides.
These houses vary in size, some are magnificent, while others are quite dilapidated, as if no one has cared about them for many years.
The shops in Qingtaofang are all owned by the Danyang Sect. The large shops are personally managed by Danyang Sect's foundation disciples, while the small shops are rented out to monks from nearby families. Unfortunately, these small shops are not competitive enough at first glance.
The Danyang Sect is good at refining elixirs, and the elixirs they refine can be sold to nearby countries. Even many high-level monks from the Wu Kingdom will use precious spiritual objects to exchange for high-level elixirs to practice in the Song Dynasty.
In order to avoid suspicion, Zhang Zhixuan and the others hid in a nearby town for a month before coming to Qingtaofang, and learned the local language so as not to look like foreign monks at first glance. Although they all knew that for
For people with delicate personalities, this kind of cover-up cannot be concealed from those who are interested.
In order to confuse their vision, Zhang Zhixuan and the others deliberately made a large circle and entered the city through the east gate.
Zhang Zhixuan wore a huge bamboo hat on his head, and the two Qingchan girls wore veils on their faces, hiding their true appearance.
The size of Qingtaofang City is similar to that of Heishanfang City, but it is far less prosperous than Qingyangfang City.
However, the Song Dynasty was densely populated, and Qingtao County was also a large county in the Song Dynasty. There were more than 6,000 monks in the county, and there were seven local foundation-building families. Counting the Danyang Sect monks stationed in Qingtao Mountain, there were more than 30 foundation-building monks.
Coupled with the fact that monks from the neighboring countries of Li and Yu came to trade, the trading volume of this market has exceeded that of Heishan.
A shop in the center of Fang City even has some fourth-level spiritual objects in it, which are used to attract the Zifu monks from Yu and Li countries and attract some customers.
Danyang Sect Zifu monks are stationed on the top of Qingtao Mountain, and a powerful fourth-order formation is also deployed on the mountain. The safety of the city below the mountain has been guaranteed.
In addition, the Danyang Sect is famous and has a longer heritage than the Xuansu Sect. For hundreds of years, no one has dared to come to Taisui to disturb every plant and tree in the city.
Therefore, the inspections outside Fangshi were somewhat loose, and the third-level high-grade defensive formations in Fangshi were not activated at any time.
Zhang Zhixuan and the other three entered Fangshi from the east, and they only paid one spiritual stone and blended into Fangshi.
Because they were not familiar with the place, the three of them did not disperse, nor did they recklessly find a shop and go in for questioning. Instead, they walked around dozens of shops along the street several times to get a better understanding of the scale of operations and the spiritual objects in the shops.
, and then entered a shop in the center of Fang City.
The store's signboard has three big gold characters "Danyanglou" written on it. At a glance, you can tell that it is the best store in the city with the Danyang Sect behind it.
This store not only has the most magnificent decoration, but also has the most complete range of spiritual objects inside. There are more than a dozen kinds of third-level spiritual objects displayed on the counter in the store, some of which Zhang Zhixuan and the other three have never heard of, which makes the three of them have a feeling.
An eye-opening feeling.
In the entire Qingtaofang, Zhang Zhixuan has already made it clear that if he wants to buy the best things, especially spiritual objects that are higher than the third level, there is only one store to choose from. Going to other stores is basically useless.
Zhang Zhixuan and the three of them all used the Breath Condensation Technique to lower their cultivation level by three or four levels. Even so, when three young monks in the middle stage of Foundation Establishment entered the store, they still alarmed many interested people.
An attendant in white walked over quickly and said with a smile on his face: "What treasures do the three seniors want, so that the juniors can select and introduce some to you."
These white-clothed attendants all look relatively young, with few middle-aged people over thirty or forty years old. However, these people's cultivation levels are already quite good. Most of them are in the middle stage of Qi refining, and some of them have reached the ninth level of Qi refining.
, it looks like preparations are being made for foundation building.
Zhang Zhixuan knew that these people were from the Danyang Sect, a large sect, but he did not expect that they were so easy to talk to.
These white-clothed attendants seemed to have been specially trained, and their words not only made people feel like spring breeze, but also did not have a trace of the arrogance of a large sect, which made Zhang Zhixuan, who was born in a small family, immediately feel good about them.
Zhang Zhixuan turned around and said pleasantly: "The three of us brothers and sisters have broken their defensive magic weapons. We would like to replace a few. My little Taoist friend has some good third-level magic weapons here. Please introduce them to us."
The attendant in white clothes was slightly startled after hearing this. Although he had cultivated to the seventh level of Qi Refining and was considered the minor leader among the attendants, such a big customer who purchased several third-level magic weapons was not his turn to make the final decision.
This person looked at Zhang Zhixuan and the others eagerly, and said enthusiastically: "Senior is joking. It is the junior's turn to point fingers at a big customer like the senior. Uncle Qi on the second floor is a weapon refiner. He knows all kinds of third-level products."
I have a deep understanding of magic weapons. Senior followed me to the second floor and asked Master Qi to entertain the three seniors."
The furnishings on the second floor are very different from those below. Not only are the number of counters much smaller, each counter is also equipped with a protective array.
Under the leadership of the attendants in white, Zhang Zhixuan and the others went up to the second floor. At this time, a middle-aged man with a gentle temperament was holding a book and greeted Zhang Zhixuan and the others with a smile on his face.
"I'm Danyang Zong Qi Yiming, I don't know what you call me?"
"Boyong next week, the two people behind him are my junior sisters. Because they are dedicated to hard work, they are a little cold in character." Zhang Zhixuan smiled, naturally he would not tell the truth. After all, they were not familiar with the place, and they brought a lot of things with them this time.
The spirit stone hides a guard against others anytime and anywhere.
After one month of study, only Zhang Zhixuan could skillfully use Song characters, dialects, and Hanyan. Although Qingchan had learned Song characters, he had not yet mastered the Song accent, so he could not speak casually along the way to avoid being exposed.
Exceptions cause trouble.
"It turns out to be fellow Taoist Zhou, fellow Taoist, please take a seat! Nephew He, go and make a pot of peach leaf tea for three fellow Taoists to try." Qi Yiming led Zhang Zhixuan and the other two people to sit down, and then gave instructions to the disciples in white behind him.
road.
"The best spiritual object in our Qingtao County is the green peach tree on the mountain. This sacred tree not only produces a lot of spiritual fruits every year, but even the leaves can be used to make tea. Although it is very helpful for us colleagues in the foundation building period to improve their cultivation.
It doesn’t help, but the taste is very unique. Once you drink it, you will have endless aftertaste.”
