Chapter 189: Asking for the point, Thunder Avoiding Pill!
Chapter 189: Asking for the point, Thunder Avoiding Pill! (Thanks to the leader who knows that it is easy to go against the will of heaven!)
Lin Chen raised his eyebrows when he heard this and jumped off the flying sword.
Arriving at the city gate, Lin Chen saw the person who had sent him a message.
He is the leader of the city guards of Humane City.
"A gatekeeper actually has the cultivation level of a fake elixir... The Taoist sect really came to the right place!"
Lin Chen blinked.
The Humane City where he was located was still far away from the real Taoist Sect.
There are three cities: Human Way, Earth Way and Heaven Way, and each city is 30,000 miles apart.
After passing the Tiandao City Pass, it took another 30,000 miles to reach the Wendao City.
This means that Lin Chen is still 90,000 miles away from the true core of Qingzhou.
But just within the Humane City, the cultivation level of this cultivator made Lin Chen look at him with new eyes...
The city guard leader in the Fake Dan realm took a few steps forward, and after sensing Lin Chen's cultivation level, his expression became much more respectful.
"This fellow Taoist looks a little unfamiliar, but is this your first time in Humane City?"
After hearing this, Lin Chen nodded and smiled:
"I am a casual cultivator. I have long heard of the reputation of the Daoist Sect. So when I traveled around the continent, I wanted to visit the Daoist City. I passed by this city..."
"I don't know the rules of the city, please forgive me."
Seeing Lin Chen's polite words, the city guard leader couldn't help but feel a little favorable towards him and said:
"It's okay. Since this is your first time in Humane City, you need to apply for a temporary residence permit."
"The Dao Sect has rules. Anyone who wants to go to Dao City must pass through the three cities of Human Dao, Earth Dao, and Heaven Dao. And they need a pass from each city."
"It will take a month to process the customs clearance documents, so I'm afraid you will have to stay in Humane City for a while..."
After hearing this, Lin Chen felt deeply moved.
The only one who could establish such a rule in the world of immortal cultivation and allow cultivators to obtain pass documents is probably the Wendao Sect.
"Before going to the Dao Sect, we need to pass through three cities, which means it will take at least three months..."
"Well, there's still enough time... well, let's first see if the Three Dao Cities have what we need to form a baby..."
The main purpose of Lin Chen's trip this time was to find an opportunity to form a baby, and traveling was only secondary.
Thinking of this, he said:
"Fellow Daoist, if that's the case... then I will temporarily stay in this Humane City."
The city guard leader laughed upon hearing this:
"Okay, okay. Humanity City is located on a spiritual vein. The spiritual energy in the city is rich... Therefore, you need to pay spiritual stones to live there."
"Stay for one month, thirty spirit stones. Three hundred spirit stones for one year..."
"Of course, fellow Daoist can also spend 30,000 spirit stones to purchase a permanent residence certificate for Humane City."
"Those with permanent residence certificates can fly in the city... but remember not to disturb other monks..."
Lin Chen blinked after hearing this. This Wendao Sect really knows how to do business.
There are at least a hundred thousand cultivators in this Humane City. Doesn't this mean that the residence tax alone can bring in three million spirit stones every month?
However, thirty thousand spirit stones are not a lot for Lin Chen.
Purchasing a permanent residence permit will make flying more convenient.
Thinking of this, Lin Chen took out a storage bag and handed it over.
After counting the items, the city guard leader's eyes lit up and he handed over a black ring.
"Fellow Daoist, this ring is your permanent residence permit in Humane City."
"In addition to being able to enter and exit the city freely, the ring is also connected to the Daoist Treasure Mirror. It can be exchanged for Daoist points to purchase some rare supplies."
As he spoke, the man handed over a booklet that contained the exchange list for the points of inquiry.
Lin Chen took a quick glance.
The purpose of this Dao point is quite similar to the contribution of Changchun Sect.
But the points are obviously more valuable.
One point of inquiry is worth one hundred low-grade spirit stones, and can be used to purchase a wider range of items, including many rare medicinal materials, pills, and magic weapons.
"Thank you, fellow Taoist!"
Lin Chen nodded and stepped into the Humane City.
As soon as he stepped into the Humane City, Lin Chen felt as if he had passed through an invisible barrier.
It’s a city defense formation!
The entire Humane City is in a huge formation...
“This spiritual energy…”
Lin Chen raised his eyebrows and felt the rich spiritual energy in the air.
Compared to when Lin Chen was consuming spirit stones to operate the spirit gathering array, the spiritual energy was several times more dense...
"Tsk tsk, practicing in this Humane City will definitely get twice the result with half the effort!"
Lin Chen nodded slightly and walked on the streets of Humane City.
The road paved with bluestone is three meters wide, wide enough for two or three carriages to run side by side.
There are various shops on both sides of the road, and people passing by look hurried.
Most of the people walking on the road are mortals, and occasionally you can meet a few monks.
This is the lower city area of Humane City.
Lin Chen did not stay in the lower city for too long, but turned into a stream of light and flew towards the upper city which was hundreds of feet high.
"He is a Jindan cultivator, traveling with light!"
On the street, several monks and pedestrians noticed Lin Chen and whispered a few words to him.
But they didn't stay for too long, just watched the excitement for a moment.
Apparently, Jindan cultivators were not that rare in this city.
Flying to a height of several hundred feet and passing through a circle of a hundred feet in radius, Lin Chen successfully entered the upper city area of Rendao City.
The entire city was suspended in the air hundreds of feet high, as if it was under the operation of some gravitational formation.
"Hiss, the spiritual energy in this upper city is even more astonishing..."
Lin Chen raised his eyebrows. He felt that the spiritual energy in the upper city was twice as dense as that in the ordinary spirit gathering array.
"The Upper City is hundreds of feet high in the sky. For the mortals in the Lower City, it is undoubtedly a sky city that is 'high above'."
"Almost all the people in the city are monks..."
Lin Chen walked around the upper city for a few rounds. Foundation Establishment cultivators could be seen everywhere, and occasionally, he could also see Core Formation cultivators traveling in the light of escape.
After walking for less than half an hour, Lin Chen saw no less than ten Jindan cultivators...
“Tsk tsk, in this Humane City, although golden elixirs are not everywhere, they are definitely not rare.”
Lin Chen thought silently.
It takes one month to process the customs clearance documents.
Lin Chen decided not to leave in a hurry and planned to stay in the city for a month.
"This Upper City is probably about ten miles in radius, which is quite large...but I'm really not familiar with this Humane City."
Lin Chen frowned slightly.
Just when he was in distress, a voice suddenly came to his ears.
"Senior, is this your first time in Humane City? Do you need a guide?"
Lin Chen looked back and what caught his eye was a baby face with a little baby fat.
This is a girl who is about thirteen or fourteen years old, and has reached the middle stage of Qi Refining.
She glanced at the black ring in Lin Chen's hand and said with some anticipation on her face:
"Senior, I have lived in this Humane City for more than ten years, and I am very familiar with this Upper City..."
"Elixir shops, weapon shops, places for cultivation...even gambling houses and places of entertainment...I know a lot about them."
"If this is your first time here, you probably need someone to lead the way."
After a pause, the girl said anxiously:
"And my fees are very cheap. Leading the way for a whole day only costs five spirit stones..."
Lin Chen calmly glanced at the white ring on the girl's hand. Unlike Lin Chen's black ring, the white ring could only stay temporarily in the Humane City.
While enjoying a higher speed of cultivation, the monthly expense of thirty spirit stones is a huge burden for Qi-refining practitioners.
Therefore, some low-level monks in the city would act as guides to make a living.
Lin Chen frowned slightly and subconsciously wanted to refuse.
But looking at the girl's expectant eyes, he realized that he really needed a guide.
So he nodded and said:
"Okay, take me around this upper town first."
The girl was delighted when she heard this. "Senior, my name is Yang Caier. You can just call me Caier... What's your name, senior?"
"Zhou Wu." Lin Chen said calmly.
Yang Caier nodded and said:
"Senior, let's go to the West Market first, shall we? The West Market is the largest market in Humane City, specializing in selling elixirs and equipment..."
"As for the situation in Humane City, shall we talk about it while we walk?"
Lin Chen shook his head, snapped his fingers, and a long sword appeared under his feet.
Afterwards, the sword became about ten feet long, enough to accommodate two people.
Lin Chen lightly jumped onto the long sword, "Let's fly slowly, you can just introduce them along the way."
When Yang Caier saw this, her eyes lit up and she boarded the flying sword.
Lin Chen controlled the flying sword and slowly flew towards Xishi.
Along the way, Yang Caier introduced everything very carefully and thoroughly.
"Senior, our Humane City is divided into two cities, the Lower City, which covers an area of 80 miles and has nearly 10 million mortals."
"They are all wealthy businessmen and aristocratic families who come from far away to seek immortality and ask for advice in the city... but most of them are descendants of cultivators. It has taken hundreds of years to build up this scale."
"As for the Upper City, it is twelve miles in circumference from east to west. There are about 110,000 monks, divided into four cities: the east, south, west and north."
"The East Market sells spirit beasts and formations, the South Market sells talismans and magic weapons, the West Market sells elixirs and equipment... The North Market is a place for cultivators to hang out, with gambling houses and brothels..."
Yang Caier is not very old, but her introduction is very clear.
After hearing this, Lin Chen nodded slightly and asked:
"Where is the floating mountain in the center of the city?"
Lin Chen pointed to a mountain several miles away.
The mountain is not very large, only about one mile in radius, but is nearly a thousand feet high. It is located in the most central and prosperous area of the Upper City.
The whole mountain is shrouded in mist, like a fairyland on earth, completely different from other areas in the upper city.
Yang Caier looked up, with envy in her eyes.
"This mountain is called Rendao Mountain, and it was built in imitation of the Daoist sect's Daodao Mountain."
"The mountain is nine hundred feet high and divided into nine levels... The spiritual energy becomes denser as you get closer to the top of the mountain."
"There are 360 caves in the lower six levels. They are available for rent to outside cultivators. As long as there are enough spirit stones, they can be rented for a long time."
"But the price... is extremely expensive!"
There was longing in Yang Caier's eyes. Her lifelong dream was to obtain a permanent residence permit in Humane City.
As for the cave on the mountain, she didn't even dare to think about it.
"As for the upper three cities, they are occupied by three major forces, namely Wenlu Academy, Jiangmo Temple... and the branch of the Wendao Sect."
"The Demon-Subduing Temple is in the Humane City?"
Lin Chen asked with some doubt. He and Li Tianhan were close friends, but he had never asked about the location of the Demon Subduing Temple.
I didn't expect it to be located on the top of the mountain in this humane city...
Yang Caier nodded and said:
"That's right. Most of the well-known forces in Qingzhou are located in the three cities of Wendao."
"Firstly, the spiritual energy is abundant, and secondly, the city is safer. The Daoist Sect is aloof from the world and will not care about the disputes between other forces..."
"Furthermore, there are many monks in the city, which is also of great benefit to the major first-class forces."
After hearing this, Lin Chen nodded slightly and looked at Yang Caier with a little surprise in his eyes.
As for her remarks, if they were placed in the Righteous Alliance, not to mention the Qi-refining cultivators, even the Foundation-building cultivators might not have such vision.
It can be seen that the cultivators in this big city are indeed different, even if they are independent cultivators.
"Then I wonder where the largest alchemy shop in this city is?"
"I want to purchase some rare elixirs and materials..."
Lin Chen asked.
Hearing this, Yang Caier pointed to a tall building in front of her and said:
"That must be the Tiandan Pavilion. This pill shop was opened by the Daodao Sect..."
"Okay, then let's go to Tiandan Pavilion and take a look."
Lin Chen nodded, and then controlled the flying sword to fly towards Tiandan Pavilion.
……
As soon as he entered the Tiandan Pavilion, Lin Chen was personally received by the manager of the pill shop.
"Senior, I wonder what you would like to buy in our pavilion?" the manager of the pill shop asked attentively.
Yang Caier, who was standing by, was surprised to see this.
senior?
The person in charge of Tiandan Pavilion is actually a fake alchemy cultivator!
Doesn’t that mean... that Senior Zhou next to me is at least a Jindan cultivator?
Yang Caier's face was full of excitement. Golden Core cultivators are not short of money!
Lin Chen looked around the pill shop and found that the shelves were filled with all kinds of pills and of extremely high quality.
However, it seemed that the Infant-Forging Pills and Thunder-Proof Pills that he needed were not available.
So Lin Chen got straight to the point and said:
"I want to buy the Infant Refining Pill and the Lightning Avoidance Pill...Does your store have them?"
Infant-forging pills and lightning-avoiding pills?
The manager was shocked after hearing this. The effects of these two kinds of pills were self-evident.
So, the person in front of him is a cultivator who is at the peak of the Golden Core stage and is preparing to condense the Nascent Soul?
Thinking of this, the steward became even more respectful and said:
"Senior, please come in. These two kinds of elixirs are of great importance... Can I have your permission to discuss this?"
Lin Chen nodded and followed the manager into the private room on the second floor of the alchemy shop.
Yang Caier also followed and stood outside the box waiting obediently.
The butler first made a pot of tea for Lin Chen, and then said:
"Senior, to be honest... we don't have the Infant Refining Pill and the Lightning God Avoiding Pill in our Tiandan Pavilion."
"Not only do we not have it, but the entire Humane City will not have it either..."
After hearing this, Lin Chen frowned slightly, thinking, why would you ask me to come to this box to talk about this?
But then, the steward changed the subject and said:
"Although Humane City doesn't have it, it doesn't mean we can't sell it..."
"Behind our Tiandan Pavilion is the Danfeng of the Daodao Sect... Although these two kinds of elixirs are rare and of the highest rank of the fourth grade, there are quite a few elders in our Danfeng who can refine them."
After a pause, the steward continued:
"However, these kinds of elixirs are generally not sold to the public."
"If the senior can join our Danfeng and become a worshiper...these two kinds of elixirs will be easy to deal with..."
After hearing this, Lin Chen frowned slightly but did not answer.
The steward said quickly:
"If you don't want to join Danfeng, that's fine. As long as you agree to serve Danfeng for a hundred years... we will give you these two elixirs with both hands!"
"In addition to elixirs, we can also provide other magic tools needed for forming a fetus."
When Lin Chen heard this, his brows furrowed even more tightly.
After thinking about it, Lin Chen stood up and refused:
"Sorry, I'm used to being idle, and I really have no intention of joining any forces..."
