I can gather experience beads

On New Year's Day, the mountain where Qinglingfang City is located was sunny and beautiful.

The thick layer of snow on the back of the house reflected the sunlight brightly.

Cao Rui stood on the top of the training tower, overlooking the bustling Qingling Xiuxian Market below, and a wave of thoughts surged in his mind.

He decided to put aside his cultivation and management affairs for the time being and personally experience life in the market he built.

So, he used the technique of invisibility to hide his breath, then put on a black hooded robe and disguised himself as a monk in the early stage of Qi Refining.

After everything was ready, Cao Rui quietly flew out from the side of the training tower and landed lightly on the street in the market.

He blended into the crowd, like an ordinary monk, and began to stroll on the streets of the market.

The streets of Qingling Xiuxian Market have evolved very cleverly without much interference from the market, with circular streets radiating outward from Cao Rui's training tower.

These circular streets are nested within each other, forming a clearly layered layout.

Each ring spontaneously evolved into different areas and functions, and the first ring closest to the center is regarded as the core area.

Here, there are shops opened by some powerful and reputable forces.

For example, Cao Rui’s Lingyin Jade Pendant Store, Danling Bao Pavilion, etc.

These shops not only provide high-quality goods and services, but also have become a landmark of Qingling Xiuxianfang City.

When Qingling Xiuxian Market was first opened, there was only this one street.

However, as time went on, due to the reputation of Qingling Market, more and more cultivators flocked to Qingling Market, making the original space become tight.

As a result, the market town gradually expanded outward and more streets were added.

After three years of development, Qinglingfang Market has now expanded to Sanhuan Street to meet the growing demand.

Each ring line spontaneously divides the cultivators of different classes in the market, together forming this prosperous and bustling market for cultivating immortals.

Disciples of the Spirit Beast Sect are guarding all important intersections of the first ring street, and there is no place for individual cultivators to set up stalls on the street.

Cleanliness and tidiness, with formal shops, are the first impressions of the first ring of Qinglingfang City.

The caves for cultivation rented out in the market town are also included in this circle.

The hill where the cultivation cave is located and the shops are seamlessly connected.

Cao Rui slightly spread out his spiritual sense and discovered the aura of many casual foundation-building cultivators in the training cave.

Of course, Zhang Mo was responsible for registering all these foundation-building cultivators.

Unregistered foundation-building cultivators, or even demonic cultivators, are not allowed to enter the Qingling cultivation mode.

It can be seen from the first ring street that Qingling Market has been recognized by the middle and high-level cultivators.

In addition to the immortal caves, this street is generally occupied by high-level cultivators. Ordinary low-level cultivators and mortals will consciously stay away from the first ring street here.

The monks passing by would occasionally activate the spiritual sound jade pendant on their chest to communicate with others via video. If it was inconvenient, they would choose to communicate via voice transmission so that passers-by nearby would not be able to hear the content of the message.

The Lingyin Jade Pendant greatly reduces the convenience of communication between cultivators, allowing ordinary cultivators to use communication tools anytime and anywhere.

Cao Rui followed an intersection and came to the second ring street of Qinglingfang City.

The second ring street is much more lively.

There are several areas designated as areas for individual cultivators to set up stalls.

There are also some small-scale shops opened on the Second Ring Street.

The quality of the pills, magic tools, talismans, etc. sold in the shops of these small forces may be worse, but the prices are definitely suitable for ordinary low-level cultivators.

There are already quite a few mortals appearing on the Second Ring Street, but most of them are low-level independent cultivators who are active.

After walking around the stalls of individual practitioners on the Second Ring Street, Cao Rui found nothing.

It seems that independent cultivators are becoming more and more savvy these days, and it is becoming increasingly difficult to pick up bargains.

The low-level cultivators in this area also each have a Lingyin jade pendant.

Under the impact of Cao Rui's Lingyin Jade Pendant, low-level cultivators and high-level cultivators have temporarily achieved unity in communication tools.

After going around the second ring area, Cao Rui arrived at the third ring area.

This area developed in the year after Cao Rui left.

The number of mortals is greater than that of independent cultivators.

It was also the main place where Cao Rui saw the New Year atmosphere when he just returned to Fangshi.

The third ring street is also the largest in area, larger than the second and first ring streets combined, and currently only accommodates about half of the population.

The houses on the third ring street are uneven and were built spontaneously by ordinary people.

In the market town, only the second and first rings have been planned for now.

The third ring can be said to be an area formed spontaneously by mortals and where they live.

Previously, there were even cultivators who had reclaimed spiritual fields near the third ring and started planting crops, but they gave up after being stopped by the market town.

The 20,000 monks who live permanently in Qinglingfang City do not include mortals.

According to rough estimates, there are nearly 50,000 mortals living in Qingling Market.

These mortals basically live within the third ring of streets.

Fifty thousand people live in this third ring street, which is not much different from an ordinary town.

Beyond the third ring is the wasteland area covered by the magic circle.

Cao Rui estimated that the entire Lingfeng Mountain could only have four ring streets at most.

If there are five rings, then you will be able to reach outside the magic circle.

Unless Cao Rui is willing to spend money to replace the magic array in the market town with a fourth-level magic array.

Otherwise, the upper limit of the population that Qinglingfang City can accommodate is about 300,000 people.

However, if it can really accommodate so many cultivators, this Qingling Market will basically be the number one market for cultivating immortals in Yunzhou.

Cao Rui walked around the periphery of Lingfeng and returned to the third ring street.

The worldly atmosphere here is very strong, and the smell of fireworks will make the monks who have been in seclusion here for a long time feel as if they are in another world.

The mortals who are able to enter Qingling Market by relying on various connections cherish the opportunity to enter the market very much.

Therefore, most of the shops here are honest and fair in price.

In fact, the most important reason is that they all know the methods of the Immortal Master. If one of them accidentally angers the Immortal Master, he or she may really die, or even his or her soul may be shattered, making it impossible for him or her to be reincarnated.

So I didn't dare to make any mistakes in the transaction.

Living in the market town, where the spiritual energy is richer than outside, and where one can avoid war and chaos, and be free from illness and disaster, is the greatest blessing for mortals.

Cao Rui stopped in front of a steamed bun shop that smelled delicious.

"Two celery and meat buns, and a bowl of salty tofu pudding."

The shopkeeper looked at Cao Rui's attire and recognized him as an immortal cultivator at a glance.

"Master, please enjoy your meal!"

"how much is it?"

"Just give me five coppers."

Cao Rui nodded slightly. He now had a lot of storage bags on him, but he really didn't have any copper coins.

“It tastes very good.”

Cao Rui spoke softly after finishing his breakfast.

After taking the Bigu Pills for several years, it is a good experience to eat ordinary food occasionally.

After thinking for a while, Cao Rui put a spirit stone on the table and disappeared into the crowd.
