The six of them flew high into the sky on their own spiritual beasts, but Zhan Chen felt that he was alienated. The other five spiritual cranes consciously left their black-feathered golden eagles and kept a good distance away.
Seeing this, Zhan Chen couldn't help but smile bitterly and said to Xiao Ye: Look, you scared those cranes, can't you restrain yourself?
Xiao Yeze said gloomily: Zhan Chen, if I hadn't made a soul contract with you, those stupid cranes would have become my food.
Zhan Chen shook his head helplessly. It seemed that it was impossible to turn the unruly eagle into a docile cat. This guy's nature was so hard to change.
Later, Zhan Chen simply told Xiao Yefei to slow down and follow his senior brother and senior sister Linghe, as long as he didn't fall behind.
Sitting in the middle of the back of the black-feathered golden eagle, Zhan Chen felt particularly spacious and stable. The black-feathered golden eagle was twice as big as the blue crane. It was no problem to sit more than a dozen people on its back. It was different from the previous worries when riding the spiritual crane.
The feeling of falling off the crane's back was completely different. So in the end, he closed his eyes and started practicing.
The journey was uneventful, and after three days and three nights of flying, they finally arrived at their destination, Yunwo Town.
Yunwo Town is still a relatively large market town, with a population of about one million, and is located in a fertile basin.
It is surrounded by mountains thousands of feet high, with only a long and narrow exit leading to the outside world.
Countless crystal clear streams flow down from the surrounding mountains and converge at the foot of the mountains, forming a majestic river rushing out from the exit and flowing into the distance. Yunwo Town lies quietly beside this river.
By the side.
The six people stood on the top of a high mountain and looked down. They saw that the spiritual energy in the basin was particularly dense. It condensed into large tracts of five-color clouds and lingered in the mid-air, making the villages, towns and fields below look hazy.
.
Zhan Chen took a deep breath of the nearby air and said in surprise: Why is the spiritual energy here so strong? It is more than ten times higher than the surrounding area and is about to catch up with our Bicui Peak.
Li Qiong replied: Junior Brother Zhan, this is mainly because of the terrain here. You see, it is surrounded by tall mountains, which makes it easy for the fairy spiritual energy in the basin to accumulate and settle, forming the large area of spiritual energy we see.
Clouds are deposited in this basin;
Of course, there is also the result of the transformation of our Linghe Sect. We have arranged some spirit gathering formations nearby, which has intensified the accumulation of fairy spiritual energy. Junior Brother Zhan, this is still on the mountain. If you go down the mountain, the fairy spiritual energy will be even richer.
Yeah, at least three times more than this one
Sanduo Zhanchen was surprised and said: Isn't that even richer than Tianjian Mountain? In that case, why didn't our Linghe Sect choose this place as our sect?
Li Qiong explained: That is because the selection of a sect should not only consider the richness of the fairy spiritual energy, but also consider safety. There are too many environments that can be exploited by the enemy in a basin terrain like this. Moreover, the sect should be placed
In the basin, the field of view is not wide enough, which is not conducive to defense. Therefore, our Zhengdao sect usually chooses the sect site as high as possible.
Zhan Chen heard the implication in her words and asked: What about the Demon Sect?
Demonic sects usually choose their sects at the bottom of deep canyons, or places where yin energy accumulates. For example, the Netherworld Sect, which is the closest to us, places its sect at the bottom of a deep narrow valley.
Thank you, senior sister, for clearing up the doubts.
Li Qiong gave another order: Okay, let's hurry up and take over. It's not good to be late.
Several people answered one after another, and then drove the crane to land below the basin.
After passing through many fairy clouds, they finally landed at the entrance of Yunwo Town. What they saw was a prosperous, clean and tidy streets, neatly arranged houses, and a constant flow of pedestrians, all giving people a sense of prosperity and tranquility.
.
Let's go into the town, Li Qiong said, so everyone followed her into the town.
Not long after entering the town, Zhan Chen discovered a strange phenomenon, that is, the cultivation level of the people living here is generally very high. Nearly 20% of the people have a cultivation level of Martial Saint or above. Martial Emperors are also everywhere on the streets.
, this was a very terrifying ratio, which could not help but arouse his curiosity, so he tried to ask Li Qiong: Senior sister, I saw how come there are so many strong martial saints in this town.
Li joked: What do you think? Most of the people living here are from our Linghe Sect, so they are protected by our Linghe Sect, and of course, they also serve our Linghe Sect.
What does this mean coming from our Linghe Sect? Zhan Chen asked in confusion.
Li Qiong explained to him patiently: These people were originally from the outer disciples of our Linghe Sect. In our Linghe Sect, there are assessment standards for outer disciples. If they have been in the school for more than three hundred years, they will not be able to successfully advance to the inner disciples.
These people will be expelled from the outer sect. There are several places for these people to go. One is to continue to stay in the Linghe Sect as slaves; the other is to completely find their own way out; and the last one is to work as laborers in the industries controlled by our Linghe Sect.
, continue to serve our denomination.
Then these people belong to the last category, Zhan Chen couldn't help but say.
Yes, for these disciples who have retired from the outer sect, our sect has provided them with some living materials and even land, allowing them to settle near the spiritual fields cultivated by our sect or the mines owned by our sect. Over time, the number of these people has increased.
As more and more people came, towns and villages were formed, and these people worked for our sect for generations. As compensation, the sect left part of the resources produced to these people, forming a mutually beneficial relationship.
Zhan Chen suddenly realized: It turns out that since these people are from the Linghe Sect, they must be familiar with the Linghe Sect's techniques, and they can get some support from the sect, and they practice in a place with such a strong fairy spirit. In this way,
It is not difficult to understand that the cultivation level is generally higher than that of the outside world.
Li Qiong nodded and replied: Yes, in fact, every sect has many such territories. People living in the territories can not only provide the sect with a large amount of resources for cultivating immortals, but their descendants can also become the fresh blood of the sect, and their average qualifications are
It is much higher than the outside world. Therefore, the number of territorial possessions is often the basis of a sect's strength.
During the conversation, several people arrived in front of a large house in the town, and Li Qiong asked everyone to stop here.
Zhan Chen couldn't help but look up and saw three powerful characters written on the lintel of the gate: Mayor's Mansion.
There were also several servants guarding the door. When they saw Zhan Chen and others wearing the clothes of the inner disciples of the Linghe Sect, they quickly came forward with a smile and asked respectfully: "Are you immortal masters going to see our master?"
Li Qiong nodded and said: Yes, we are the new disciples of the Linghe sect responsible for the garrison, and we came here to say hello.
We immediately went in and informed a few servants that they did not dare to neglect and rushed into the gate.
After a while, an old man with silver hair came out of the house. When he saw Li Qiong and others, he hurriedly saluted and said: It turns out that Senior Sister Li has arrived.
Zhan Chen felt curious when he saw that the old mayor also had an intermediate level of cultivation, but treated them respectfully.
Li Qiong laughed and said: Li Lang, you are considered our peer, no need to be polite.
Li Lang sighed and said: Alas, I am no longer a disciple of the sect, I am only the head of a town, but you are the envoys sent by the sect, so you must follow the etiquette.
Zhan Chen couldn't help but wonder: Mayor Li, were you also a disciple of our Linghe Sect?
Li Lang glanced at him and asked: What is your name?
My name is Zhan Chen.
Zhan Chen, yes, it’s just that I am old and have low qualifications. I am still only at the middle level of Qi Yuan. I know that my life is running out and I should not waste the resources of the sect anymore, so I asked the sect to let me leave. But the sect
It is better to treat me as one of your own and let this old man serve as the mayor of Yunwo Town. I, Li Lang, vowed at that time to serve the sect with all my strength. I will use my remaining years to exert some residual enthusiasm for the sect.
Li Lang's words were heartfelt and touching, making Zhan Chen and others stand in awe.
Li Qiong said solemnly: Zhan Chen, did you know that Li Lang is already over nine thousand years old, and you are still too young in comparison. Therefore, you should learn from seniors like Li Lang. In fact, in our sect,
, there are many inner disciples like him, and it is precisely because of their unremitting efforts that our Linghe Sect is what it is today.
Zhan Chen deeply agreed and nodded solemnly.
At this time, Li Lang smiled again and said: Li Qiong, you know the situation in my Yunwo Town, but the few junior brothers and sisters who came with you must not know much about it. Let me be a guide and explain the situation here.
Let me introduce it to you.
Li Qiong nodded and said: Indeed, Chen Junlan, Zhuang Xiaodie and I have been here at least once, but this is the first time for Chen Ruping, Li Junchen and Zhan Chen to come here, so I have to help you introduce it to them.
Okay, everyone, please come with me. As Li Lang said this, he walked to the front and led the way, and everyone followed him towards the entrance of the town.
After leaving the entrance of the town, Zhan Chen was immediately attracted by the learning in front of him. Looking around, he saw endless greenery, covering the entire field of vision, like an emerald ocean.
Li Lang looked at everything in front of him, and he was quite proud, and said: You have seen it, what you see in front of you is our spiritual field in Yunwo Town, which is ten thousand hectares in size.
Are all the elixirs grown in these ten thousand hectares of spiritual fields? Li Junchen said in shock.
Li Lang smiled slightly and said: That's not the case. The nine thousand hectares in front are planted with spiritual valleys, which are mainly used by our Linghe Sect. The spiritual valleys are different from the mortal valleys. They are rich in immortal spiritual energy and can improve our cultivation of immortality.
Although a person's physique can be completely insulated from grains when he reaches the Guiyuan realm, if he eats this spiritual grain regularly, it will still be of great benefit to his body and his cultivation.
What about spiritual fields where elixirs are planted? Zhan Chen couldn't help but ask, no one here cared more about this than him. He was eager to see what a spiritual field full of ninth-grade elixirs looked like.
Li Lang smiled mysteriously and said: Don't worry, don't worry, I will take you to see it soon. The real spiritual field that produces elixirs is behind Pienling Valley.
