Chapter 290 Haina Zhai
The reason why Tianfu Sect rose rapidly and then fell sharply is because of its skills. Their sect-defining skills, Futian Jue, are not slow to cultivate, and can be cultivated to the late Danhai realm, but the requirements for spiritual consciousness are extremely high, which makes it extremely difficult for Tianfu Sect to find suitable disciples.
However, spiritual consciousness can only be born and detected when the cultivators cultivate to the second level of Qi Condensation, which makes Tianfu Sect have to set their sights on low-level disciples from major sects.
Once Tianfu Sect detects a disciple with strong spiritual consciousness and good spiritual roots, it will forcibly take him away, which naturally offends a large number of sects. When Tianfu Master was in charge of Tianfu Sect, naturally no one dared to speak out against it. However, hundreds of years after Tianfu Master disappeared, several major sects, led by Tianshui Sect, captured Tianfu Sect and drove it to Beiming Island.
Then, after tens of thousands of years, Tianfu Sect is now even more desolate and has been forced to move to Mingxia Island, becoming one of the hundreds of intermediate sects in Qiandao Lake.
The reason why Tianfumen can exist and maintain its current status is the result of the special protection of the major sects, because they need a large number of talismans provided by Tianfumen. Nearly half of the talismans below the middle grade of the earth level in Cangzhou are refined by Tianfumen. So they allocated four counties to Tianfumen and let them recruit disciples from them.
However, there are naturally very few people in this population who can have both spiritual roots and strong spiritual consciousness, which can not meet the needs of Tianfumen at all. They dare not test and take away the disciples of the major sects, so they set their sights on scattered cultivators.
There are a large number of scattered cultivators, and they have no connection with the sects. They are the best targets for recruitment, but scattered cultivators love freedom, do not accept the discipline of the sects, and have indifferent sects. This also makes Tianfumen headache, and once completely gave up recruiting scattered cultivators.
But in the end, out of helplessness, Tianfumen still opened the door to scattered cultivators, and had very low requirements for recruited scattered cultivators, that is, as long as the talisman is refined, they can leave the sect at any time, and the sect tasks are not forced, and there will be corresponding rewards.
After hearing this, Zhan Nianchuan was ecstatic, thinking that this was a sect tailor-made for him.
There were enough cultivation techniques to reach the Danhai realm, talisman refining methods, and enough time for cultivation, without tedious sect tasks. Is there any better sect in the world that suits him better than this?
Almost in an instant, Zhan Nianchuan decided to try to join the Tianfu Sect.
Although he was full of excitement, Zhan Nianchuan's expression was still only slightly curious. He toasted a few casual cultivators and continued to ask:
"This is good, quite free. I wonder if there are any conditions to join the Tianfu Sect?"
"Haha, the condition is that the cultivation must be above the seventh level of Qi Condensation, and the spiritual consciousness must be at least 30% higher than that of the cultivators of the same realm. There are no other requirements." Lei Yunhe, a tall and thin middle-aged cultivator, said with a smile.
This requirement made Zhan Nianchuan frown slightly, thinking that he was only at the sixth level of Qi Condensation now, but there was no problem with his spiritual consciousness. It seemed that he would have to wait for a while before joining.
"My younger brother is only at the sixth level of Qi Condensation now. It seems that I can't join for the time being. I wonder how often the Tianfu Sect recruits casual cultivators like us?" Zhan Nianchuan showed a trace of regret.
"That's a pity. I said I could go with Brother Li. However, with your qualifications, I believe you will be able to advance to the seventh level of Qi Condensation in a few years. As for the Tianfu Sect, it will recruit disciples in the shops in Nanyu City every March and September. Brother Li can go directly there."
Lei Yunhe saw that Zhan Nianchuan was also going to the Tianfu Sect, and his expression suddenly became more intimate. He took Zhan Nianchuan to drink several cups in a row.
Zhan Nianchuan was also very happy to receive this unexpected good news. He toasted with several casual cultivators and ordered several large pots of fine wine.
During the drinking and talking, Zhan Nianchuan's understanding of Nanyu City and the entire Cangzhou continued to deepen...
After leaving Zuixianju, Zhan Nianchuan went straight to Hainazhai, the largest shop in the city center.
Intent on observing the order of Nanyu City, Zhan Nianchuan walked quickly for three hours before reaching the central square of the city.
Four hundred-foot-long avenues lead directly to the circular square in the middle, dividing the entire square into four areas.
Looking around, the square is extremely prosperous. One of the shops actually occupies one of the areas completely. The scale is amazing. Looking at the three golden characters "Hainazhai" above, Zhan Nianchuan knows that this is the final destination of his trip.
The square is thousands of feet in radius. There are nine huge circular platforms in the middle. Six of them are fighting life and death. There are hundreds of thousands of people watching around, and cheers and applauds from time to time.
I think this is the life and death stage that the guard mentioned. Zhan Nianchuan looked around and saw a white-bearded old man sitting cross-legged on the stone steps below the No. 1 circular platform with an expressionless face. He ignored the deafening cheers around him and the life and death fight on the stage.
No cultivator dared to step in within dozens of feet around him.
"With a Jindan-level cultivator on duty at any time, no wonder the order in Nanyu City is so good. This makes me feel more at ease." Zhan Nianchuan's eyes flashed, and he muttered to himself imperceptibly.
He now planned to go to Hainazhai to exchange some of the more than 2,000 medium-grade pills on his body for high-grade pills, because high-grade pills are more effective and have fewer impurities, and it will not be so troublesome to expel the pill poison in the future, especially when the monster blood essence he possessed was about to be exhausted.
According to his estimate, taking high-grade pills can save nearly half of the time for cultivation. These factors forced him to take the risk of exchanging these medium-grade pills for high-grade pills. Of course, the good order in Nanyu City also prompted him to make up his mind.
A large number of medium- and high-grade pills are extremely rare, so he directly chose to go to Haina Zhai, the largest store in Nanyu City.
Learning from the last lesson, Zhan Nianchuan first went to several large stores nearby to take a look and found that there were actually many mortals who were also trading with spirit stones, and the items traded even included the magic tools used by the foundation-building cultivators, which surprised him greatly.
After thinking for a moment, Zhan Nianchuan walked towards Haina Zhai.
Passing through the bustling crowd, Zhan Nianchuan looked at the huge store that was thousands of feet long and couldn't help but lose his mind slightly. He secretly sighed at the strong strength of Haina Zhai and was confident that he could successfully exchange enough high-grade pills.
Looking at the various item areas shown on the sign above, Zhan Nianchuan walked directly towards the area where the pills were located.
After finally squeezing into the front of the crowd, Zhan Nianchuan took a breath and laughed at himself for being too cautious and underestimating the strength of Haina Zhai.
In the transparent light curtain, bottles of pills were neatly arranged. It was not uncommon to see middle and high-quality pills. At a glance, there were hundreds of bottles of high-quality pills, which made Zhan Nianchuan completely relieved.
The two thousand middle-quality pills would not attract anyone's attention, so he could just trade with confidence.
