At the foot of a mountain outside the Yueyang Mountains, there is a small town shrouded in fog all year round. Any nearby villagers can only see the outline of the town and cannot penetrate the fog.
The surrounding villagers were not surprised by this. According to the old people in the village, this town existed when the village was moved here, and there were immortals living in it.
Sometimes, the naughty children in the village would walk into the fog out of curiosity, and then fall asleep outside the fog the next day.
On this day, three people and a monkey appeared outside the foggy town. It was almost winter, and the biting cold wind was blowing everywhere. These people were only wearing thin clothes, and judging from their faces, there was no hint of cold.
These people were none other than Lu Kun and his entourage. It took them a full month to rush from the central part of Luzhou to the south. This was not because Lu Kun and the others were taking a detour, but because the Zhao brothers and sisters were clamoring to go to each larger town.
Wandering around the city, admiring its name, increases your knowledge.
But the map in Lu Kun's hand was drawn by cultivators. It only marked some mountains and rivers, as well as Xiuxianfang City and Xiuxian Family. Only one or two mortal cities were marked.
So they spent most of their time looking for cities. The delay that took them so long might be because Lu Kun and the others took the route to a mortal city. They didn't meet a single immortal cultivator along the way. It seemed like, unless there were special circumstances,
Immortal cultivators will not go to mortal cities.
As the Yueyang Mountains approached, Lu Kun and the others could feel significant changes in the spiritual energy around them. The place where he had felt the most abundant spiritual energy before was the waterfall valley, but here, not yet close to the Yueyang Mountains, the spiritual energy was no less abundant than in that valley.
Looking at the foggy town in front of him, Lu Kun took out a map, compared it with it, showed a hint of joy, and said to Zhao Qingtian next to him: "Qingtian, this is Yueyang Zongfang City, it can be said to be Luzhou.
The most prosperous Fangshi, behind Fangshi is the Yueyang Mountains, hey, there are other immortal cultivators."
At this time, a fusiform magical weapon appeared in the sky, shooting towards them at high speed.
After Lu Kun's golden eyes discovered it, his consciousness locked firmly on the magic weapon in the storage bag, and he approached the Yueyang Mountains. He had been wary of strange cultivators, and now he met them.
There are two figures on this fusiform instrument. One is a beautiful young woman in red, whose face cannot be seen clearly. The other is a little girl about twelve years old, carved in pink and jade.
cute.
Their fusiform magic weapon landed directly outside the town, not far from Lu Kun and the others.
Lu Kun's eyes flashed with golden light as he observed the two strange cultivators. He discovered that the little girl actually had a cultivation level of the sixth level of Qi Refining, which showed that her talent was astonishing. The cultivation level of the young woman in red next to him was even deeper and unfathomable, and her strength was far beyond
Qi refining period.
"He is a cultivator in the foundation-building stage!"
Lu Kun looked quite calm on the surface, but he was a little uneasy in his heart. He quickly pulled down the curious Zhao brothers and sisters, saluted the young woman in red, put on a smile, and said in a low voice: "It turns out that this is the senior and junior Lu Kun who is in the foundation building period.
I offend you a lot, but I happened to bring the younger members of the clan here today..."
While Lu Kun was speaking, the young woman in red put away her flying magic weapon and pulled the little girl into the mist. It was as if she didn't see Lu Kun, but the little girl turned back and looked at them.
Lu Kun was left standing there with a flattering look on his face, his hands clasped and his body bent, without even finishing his words.
Zhao Qingtian's face turned red. After the two people disappeared into the mist, he finally couldn't help it and laughed loudly. Even Zhao Xueer and Xiao Jin beside him couldn't help laughing.
Lu Kun looked a little embarrassed, but then he straightened his face and said in a lecturing tone: "What do you know? In the world of immortal cultivation, the weak are the strongest, and if you don't keep a low profile in front of the strong, you won't even know if you are killed!"
"
Lu Kun has worked hard on the earth. It can be said that he has understood the saying "talk to others and talk to ghosts". At this time, when he met a powerful immortal cultivator, he met him on the earth.
Company leaders and government officials must do enough superficial work.
However, Zhao Qingtian and the others didn't seem to hear it and started laughing even louder. Lu Kun could only shake his head. When Zhao Qingtian was almost done laughing, he said to him in an iron-clad tone: "You've laughed enough, don't use it yet."
Sound transmission!"
Only then did Zhao Qingtian stop laughing and lifted up the robe around his waist, revealing a gray storage bag. This storage bag belonged to the mid-stage Qi Refining casual cultivator that Xiao Jin killed last time. Although the casual cultivator had no assets,
, but the storage bag space is actually not bad, it is exactly the same size as Lu Kun’s.
I saw Zhao Qingtian patting the storage bag with his hand, a green light flashed, and a small yellow talisman appeared in his hand. Then he poured mana into the talisman and muttered something in his mouth, and the talisman disappeared into the fog in front of him.
After a while, the fog restriction in front of them slowly opened a gap, and Lu Kun and the others walked in one after another.
After the fog cleared, the scenery in front of us changed drastically. From the outside, it looked like a small town, but from the inside, it looked like a large city. There were all kinds of pedestrians walking around, and most of them were mortals.
Suddenly, a man wearing a blue robe sitting on the street came towards Lu Kun and the others, and said with a smile: "Fellow Taoist, Huang Yunhua is so polite. I see some of them are relatively unfamiliar. This is my first time in Yueyang."
Zongfang City?"
Lu Kun took a closer look and found that this person was just an immortal cultivator at the third level of Qi Refining, so he cupped his hands and said, "That's right. Come here this time to help the younger members of the clan gain knowledge."
This man in blue robe is only at the third level of Qi refining. He has no spiritual consciousness and cannot release the "Sky Eye Technique" to detect cultivation. He just relies on his own feeling and thinks that Lu Kun is an immortal cultivator in the late stage of Qi refining, so he steps forward.
Come.
The man in blue robe said: "I have lived in Zongfang City, Yueyang for many years. If you, Taoist, come to sell some materials and resources, I will definitely help you find the most affordable merchant. In the end, I only need to accept a low-level spiritual stone from you.
Just pay for the errands.”
Lu Kun didn't expect that there were immortal cultivators doing this kind of work. When he was in Lingmingfang City, only mortals did this kind of work.
Huang Yunhua saw the hesitation on Lu Kun's face and said: "Fellow Taoist brought the junior members of the clan here this time. He should want to try his luck in the entry selection of Yueyang Sect!"
"I am very familiar with these entry-level selection processes. I can even help fellow Taoists join a team and be tested by Yueyang Sect disciples as early as possible. Everyone knows that the earlier you test, the greater your chance of being selected."
Lu Kun's expression was a little moved. He didn't expect that they would come by such a coincidence. When they encountered this entry-level selection, he said to Huang Yunhua: "My lord, Lu Kun, in this case, Taoist friend, please take us to visit this market. This spiritual stone first
Here it is, if you’re satisfied, I’ll give you another one after it’s over.”
After speaking, Lu Kun threw a low-level spiritual stone to the man. Huang Yunhua quickly took the spiritual stone into his hand, felt it carefully, and stuffed the spiritual stone into his arms with a smile.
Lu Kun found that Huang Yunfei didn't even have a storage bag, which showed that he was really embarrassed, so he asked: "Fellow Daoist Huang, I have a few questions. I hope you can answer them."
At this time, Huang Yunfei had already regarded Lu Kun as a powerful immortal cultivator with no worth. Who would be so generous? He immediately said in a flattering tone: "Fellow Taoist, if you have any questions, just ask."
Lu Kun looked at this prosperous town and asked: "Why are there so many mortals in Yueyang Zongfang City, and why is Yueyang Zonghui recruiting disciples in Fang City?"
Upon hearing this, Huang Yunfei said with a smile: "I also guess that fellow Taoists will have this doubt. In fact, not only fellow Taoist Lu, but other immortal cultivators who came here for the first time also have this doubt."
"It's like this. The Yueyang Sect is a big sect of cultivating immortals. It has many disciples. It is said that there are nearly a hundred cultivators in the foundation-building stage. If you think of these many cultivators in the foundation-building stage, each of them can live to be more than two hundred years old, then the descendants will naturally
It won’t be any less.”
"These heirs with good spiritual roots and qualifications will be admitted into the Yueyang Sect. The remaining ones without spiritual roots and poor qualifications will not be easily arranged."
"We all know that the Yueyang Sect's weapon refining skills are famous far and wide, and the market here is getting busier and busier. The Yueyang Sect's senior officials let the remaining heirs work in this market. Over time, the scale of the Yueyang Sect's market will become larger and larger.
It grew bigger and gradually developed into what it is today.”
"Most of the mortals in the town are the descendants of the Yueyang Sect's immortal cultivators. The chance of spiritual roots appearing among the descendants of the immortal cultivators is much greater than that of mortals. Therefore, every ten years, the Yueyang Sect's immortal cultivators will
Come to this town and test the spiritual roots of the children here."
"Those with better qualifications will enter the sect to practice, while those with poor qualifications will continue to stay in the city after being taught the basic skills."
Speaking of this, Huang Yunfei said mockingly: "I am a cultivator with poor qualifications. I do this job because I want to earn more spiritual stones so that my cultivation can take a step closer."
Lu Kun nodded thoughtfully.
Huang Yunfei continued: "Gradually, some casual cultivators and cultivator families also know about this practice of Yueyang Sect, and they will come to Yueyangfang City these days to see if there is a chance to be accepted into the sect."
"I see, Fellow Daoist Huang, I know a friend who is a casual cultivator. His ancestors were once a vassal family of the Yueyang Sect, but now it has declined. He met me some time ago and said that there is some entry order that can directly enter the Yueyang Sect. I don't know.
Have you ever heard of it?"
After hearing this, Huang Yunfei showed envy and said: "I saw this entry order ten years ago. It is said that only families that have made great contributions to the Yueyang Sect will have this thing. No matter what kind of qualifications their descendants have, they can rely on it."
The entry order is to enter the Yueyang Sect."
Lu Kun raised his eyebrows and asked again: "Fellow Taoist, we met ten years ago. Could it be that this was also the time when the Yueyang Sect was selecting disciples?"
"Yes, I think that immortal cultivator has extremely mixed five-attribute spiritual roots. He can directly enter the Yueyang Sect with such poor qualifications. I have four spiritual roots, but I can only earn spiritual stones in this market."
Lu Kun looked at Huang Yunhua's expression and sighed. This world of immortality is much crueler than the earth. In his country, no matter how poor his background and qualifications are, as long as he works hard, he will always have a chance to get ahead. But here, qualifications determine everything!
