After practicing in Xiaoyao Sect for nearly three years, although Xu Chunniang has mastered many techniques, she has no practical experience.
A qualified monk must have practical abilities that are consistent with his cultivation level. If he has no realm, he will not be able to go far on this path of cultivation.
The outermost area of the Baiyao Mountain Range is not dangerous, and even a disciple at the third level of Qi training can explore it.
Xu Chunniang is now at the fourth level of cultivation. If she is more cautious, she can rely on the Lingxu Steps to be able to fight against monsters at the fourth or fifth level of Qi training. If she cannot defeat them, she can still run away.
The name of Baiyaoshan Mountain sounds scary, but as long as she doesn't go deep into it, she can barely protect herself with her fourth level of Qi training.
After deciding to go to the Baiyao Mountains, Xu Chunniang spent two days preparing a lot of spiritual dew.
Although the effectiveness of spiritual dew has been greatly reduced, a bottle of spiritual dew can restore one-tenth of Xu Chunniang's spiritual energy, which should not be underestimated.
After bringing the prepared spirit dew, Xu Chunniang walked towards Duobao Pavilion to buy some necessities.
There were many people coming and going on the first floor of Duobao Pavilion. After a lot of effort, Xu Chunniang finally bought all the items.
A map of the outskirts of the Baiyao Mountains, an ordinary medicine hoe, five simple jade boxes, and several large cloth bags.
Two spiritual stones for the map, five spiritual stones for the medicine hoe, and five jade boxes cost only one spiritual stone. They also came with several worthless large cloth bags. After spending a total of eight spiritual stones, Xu Chunniang's spiritual stone was only
A poor one is left.
"There is only one spirit stone left. I heard that the monsters in the Hundred Demons Mountain Range are full of treasures. Even the low-level monsters have some useful materials. I hope my trip will go smoothly. It is best to earn more spirits.
stone."
The Baiyao Mountain Range is to the north of Xiaoyao Sect. Xu Chunniang walked all the way north and passed the north gate, but was blocked by two disciples guarding the gate.
The two disciples are both at the fourth level of qi training, and they should be performing the task of guarding the gang here.
"Stop, who are you and what are you doing?"
Xu Chunniang showed her disciple order, "Disciple Xu Chunniang, I am going to the Baiyao Mountains for training this time."
"Experience? Are you alone? There are a lot of casual cultivators who commit murder and swindle like in the sect."
The gatekeeper frowned and looked at Xu Chunniang, not quite believing what she said.
After all, in the past, people who went to the Hundred Demons Mountain Range to practice, except for the senior brothers and sisters who were at the top of Qi training, were all in groups, at least three or more people.
The person in front of me is only at the third level of Qi training. Wouldn't he be courting death if he went to the Hundred Demon Mountains alone?
"I'm not very popular, no one wants to team up with me."
Xu Chunniang explained softly that what she said was not a lie.
But the more important reason is that cultivation is a one-person journey, and she never thought of finding someone to form a team from the beginning.
"this……"
The two gatekeeper disciples were a little dumbfounded and looked at each other. It was rare for their popularity to be so different.
"Don't worry, two senior brothers. I know my own cultivation level very well. I only collect some medicinal herbs in the outer mountains to earn some spiritual stones."
Xu Chunniang indeed only planned to stay on the periphery, but her purpose was not just to collect some medicinal herbs.
The two gatekeepers finally let him go.
After all, the sect has stipulated that as long as the disciples reach the third level of Qi training, they can freely go to the Baiyao Mountains to practice, and there is no rule that they must form a team with others to go.
After taking Xu Chunniang's disciple token and registering it, the gatekeeper disciple warned, "Remember, it cannot exceed three months."
Xu Chunniang nodded, she naturally knew.
In order to facilitate the management of disciples, the sect stipulates that the time for each visit to the Baiyao Mountains cannot exceed three months. If it exceeds three months, you must apply separately.
Xu Chunniang doesn't plan to go for too long. There is less than a month left before the big exam, and she will rush back before the big exam.
After exiting the mountain gate, the view ahead suddenly broadened.
Xu Chunniang's eyes flashed with determination, Baiyao Mountain Range, she is here!
Traveling all the way north, with Xu Chunniang's fourth level of Qi training, it still took a whole day's journey to get close to the foot of the Baiyao Mountains.
Xu Chunniang wiped the sweat from her face, took out the map and took a look. Twenty miles further, she reached Qingshan Town.
This Qingshan Town is a market. The so-called market is a place where monks gather. This kind of place is usually formed when a large number of monks gather together for a long time to live and trade.
The Baiyaoshan Mountains are rich in resources, and Qingshan Townfang City has a history of hundreds of years since its establishment.
Qingshan Zhenfang City is located on the border of Xiaoyao Sect and is under the jurisdiction of Xiaoyao Sect.
Although this place is under the control of Xiaoyao Sect, not all of them are disciples of Xiaoyao Sect. On the contrary, casual cultivators make up the majority here.
After all, the Hundred Demons Mountain Range was not opened by the Xiaoyao Sect. It was very difficult for casual cultivators to obtain cultivation resources, and the inexhaustible medicinal herbs and monster beasts here were an excellent choice.
Therefore, the area around Qingshan Town and Baiyao Mountains is a mixed bag, with almost all kinds of monks present.
This is also the reason why the sect allows monks at the third level of Qi training to enter the Hundred Demon Mountains to practice, but few disciples go alone.
Staying within the sect and doing diligent tribute tasks can earn you spiritual stones to improve your cultivation. Isn't this much more comfortable than going outside to compete for resources with casual cultivators?
That group of casual cultivators are almost willing to risk their lives for a few scraps of resources. If they are not careful, they are really in danger of falling!
Therefore, even if the sect disciples go out for training, they will form a team and go together.
In a team with a large number of monks, even if the casual monks want to move, they have to consider whether they have the ability.
Xu Chunniang finally arrived at Qingshan Town before night fell.
Fortunately, as a disciple of Xiaoyao Sect, one of the benefits is that she can enter Qingshan Town for free. Otherwise, after paying the entry fee for this spiritual stone, she would have to sleep on the streets of Qingshan Town.
"This junior sister must be coming to Qingshan Town for the first time, right?"
Guarding the gate of Fangshi were two outer disciples of the Xiaoyao Sect in Tsing Yi. Seeing Xu Chunniang, the two of them had smiles on their faces. They were not prejudiced or discriminated against because of Xu Chunniang's appearance.
"Exactly, this is my first time out of the sect."
Xu Chunniang nodded. She felt that the auras of the two senior brothers were very deep, and she could not detect their cultivation level at all.
There is only one possibility in this situation, that is, the cultivation level of the two of them is higher than mine.
"It's getting late today. If junior sister wants to stay, she can go to Xiaoyaoju opened by our sect."
A round-faced disciple introduced, "The charges are very reasonable, and our disciples can get a 50% discount on accommodation. If you want to buy or sell things, you can also go to the Duobao Pavilion opened by our sect."
Xu Chunniang nodded and remembered all of this in her heart.
Before coming here, she only knew that Qingshan Town was under the management of Xiaoyao Sect, but she didn't know that the sect still had business here.
Following the guidance of the two senior brothers, Xu Chunniang walked towards Xiaoyaoju, and as expected, she got a 50% discount with her disciple token.
For the price of a spiritual stone, I rented a single room for twenty days.
Xu Chunniang was secretly stunned. Prices in this town were not low. Without discounts, one spiritual stone would only be enough to live in for ten days.
One month, just accommodation requires three spiritual stones.
After handing over the last spiritual stone in her body, Xu Chunniang was now completely penniless. She only hoped that she would gain something when she went into the mountain tomorrow.
