Chapter 289 News From Tianfu Sect
According to the old man, he found that the location of the alchemy page was by the lake near Nanyu City. Although Nanyu City was only one of dozens of small towns on the Qiandao Lake, since it could be identified, Zhan Nianchuan was sure The area is definitely not much smaller than Yandang City, which means that there is likely to be a strong person in the late stage of pill formation here.
"Let's go and take a look first. My current cultivation level is a bit embarrassing. It's neither high nor low. With such qualifications and many secrets, joining the sect is really not a good choice. And I have so many elixirs. With the medicine and spiritual stones in hand, and the spiritual energy provided by the sect’s spiritual veins, there is really no need to join the sect at the moment.”
"But in the long run, joining a sect is inevitable. After all, Xuantian Sect's best technique, Chenhuo Zhendian, can only be practiced to the early stage of pill formation. If I want to enter the Danhai realm, I must join a new sect. Forget it, let’s not think about it for now, after all, I am only a young monk at the fifth level of Qi Condensation.”
"The most important thing at the moment is to find a place where I can forge the body. The blood essence and blood of the monsters in my hands are already somewhat insufficient. I must forge the body and rely on a strong body to expel more erysipelas from the body. I can buy it with spiritual stones. If you have a lot of essence and blood, the target will be too obvious, so it’s better to be more steady.”
The last time he was targeted by Wanbao Pavilion was because he bought a large amount of spiritual grass for refining second-level elixirs. Of course, his luck was extremely bad. Although he managed to escape in the end, Zhan Nianchuan didn't want to put himself in danger again. , because he now has elixirs and spiritual stones, so there is no need to take this risk.
According to the direction of Nanyu City pointed on the map, Zhan Nianchuan slightly adjusted the direction of the jade boat, took a high-grade elixir, and started practicing.
...
Nanyu City.
In the hot summer, a small green dot moved slowly on the official road outside the North Gate. When they got closer, the soldiers guarding the city realized that the green dot was an ordinary-looking young man wearing green clothes.
The young man has a tall and straight posture, a firm and deep gaze, and his clothes are covered with dust. It looks like he has traveled a long distance. There is a storage bag and a warm-colored jade pendant hanging on his waist. He is a cultivator.
Pedestrians on the side leaned to both sides for fear of disturbing the immortal cultivator.
Seeing the young man raising his head and carefully looking at the three simple characters "南玉北" hanging on the city wall, the head guard stepped forward and said with a smile:
"Is this your first time to visit Nanyu City? Our Nanyu City is the same as other cities. Immortal cultivators need to pay a spiritual stone when entering the city, but there is no need to pay when leaving the city."
Zhan Nianchuan was surprised that a secular warrior dared to speak to a practitioner like this. He couldn't help but glance at the unshaven guard, and then handed him a spiritual stone as promised.
"Listen young man, you are not allowed to attack mortals in the city. Violators will be severely punished. If you have conflicts with other monks, you can only fight on the life and death platform in the square. Do you understand?"
This guard obviously had something to rely on and showed no fear towards Zhan Nianchuan. Instead, he calmly told Zhan Nianchuan all the rules.
After saying that, he turned around and left, respectfully handing the spirit stone to a monk sitting in the city gate tower.
It seems that this is his confidence, Zhan Nianchuan thought to himself, and then he habitually swept his consciousness on the opponent, and was shocked to find that this guard turned out to be in the early stage of foundation building.
He quickly withdrew his consciousness and then followed the flow of people into the tall city gate.
The city wall is more than thirty feet high and more than ten feet thick. It is made of huge blue stones and looks extremely solid. Because the wall is too thick, the light appears slightly dim.
Entering the city, Zhan Nianchuan found that this city was very unusual. Yandang City was also a large city with tens of millions of people, but the unity and beauty of the architectural style were far inferior to that of Nanyu City.
Each street is seven or eight feet wide, and the ground is paved with wide gray stone slabs, which looks simple and elegant. Each building is about the same size, with a large difference in height. They all have cyan exterior walls, making them look neat and coordinated.
The secular mortals who were originally respectful to the immortal cultivators straightened up their waists one by one after entering the city gate and hurriedly walked in different directions. It seemed that they no longer had any fear of these immortals in their eyes.
Along the way, Zhan Nianchuan found that the immortal cultivators and mortals in the city got along with each other indifferently, and even saw the two smiling and talking many times, which surprised him a little.
"It seems that order in Nanyu City is very good." Zhan Nianchuan silently followed some monks at the sixth and seventh levels of Qi Condensation, releasing his powerful spiritual consciousness in order to get something useful to him.
Soon, he heard interesting news.
Tianfu Sect is recruiting casual cultivators in the city!
This immediately made Zhan Nianchuan's heart move, and he secretly thought that the Fumen today should be related to Fulu, and he happened to be more interested in Fulu, and there were many convenient conditions, so he might consider it.
After following a few people for several miles, Zhan Nianchuan got a lot of information about Tianfu Sect.
What surprised him the most was that a great monk from the late Danhai period had actually appeared in Tianfu Sect!
According to these casual cultivators, tens of thousands of years ago, the founder of Tianfu Sect, Master Tianfu, Tianzong Wizard, defeated many competitors with his talisman and led a small sect to occupy the entire Qiandao Lake. It became the undisputed number one sect in Cangzhou.
Times have changed, and after thousands of years of glory, the Tianfu Sect fell into trouble with the disappearance of Master Tianfu. In the end, it was defeated by the current Tianshui Sect and had to give up the sect's residence. Later, it passed by After several disasters, now it can only be regarded as an intermediate sect.
The time for this sect to recruit disciples is this month, so there is still half a month left.
Zhan Nianchuan wanted to find out more information, but found that these casual cultivators had already walked into a tavern called Zuixianju.
With no choice, Zhan Nianchuan had to follow him in, ordered a pot of wine, and sat in a window seat to taste it slowly.
"Hmm~ It tastes good."
Zhan Nianchuan originally planned to drink wine to cover up, but he didn't expect that this wine was not only clear and delicious, but also had a long aftertaste, and it also had a faint spiritual aura. He couldn't help but drink a few big mouthfuls.
But what disappointed him was that these casual cultivators didn't continue to talk about the Tianfu Sect, but talked about other interesting things.
After waiting for a while, seeing that they still didn't mean to mention the Tianfu Sect, Zhan Nianchuan had to pick up the wine pot and walked to the table of several people and bowed slightly:
"Cultivator Li Hong, meet you fellow Taoists."
Seeing that Zhan Nianchuan came uninvited, several people were slightly defensive in their hearts, but on the surface they still stood up enthusiastically and invited Zhan Nianchuan to sit down.
"To be honest, I just heard a few fellow Taoists talking about the Tianfu Sect recruiting independent cultivators, and I want to give it a try. I wonder how much you know about the Tianfu Sect, can you tell me?" Zhan Nianchuan stated his purpose straight to the point, and asked the waiter to bring three more pots of wine.
Hearing that Zhan Nianchuan's purpose was to inquire about the Tianfu Sect, several people immediately relaxed and became more enthusiastic.
This was not a secret, and several people naturally told him everything they knew, which made Zhan Nianchuan have a deeper understanding of the Tianfu Sect.
