The difficult path of cultivation for a grassroots female practitioner

The four of them not only bought all the useful and reference maps, but also bought some books.

When we arrived at the inn, we each booked a room first, and then gathered together to read books and look at maps.

The room charges fifty spirit stones per night, which is really not cheap, but so what? When you are away from home, you have to spend money on everything.

After carefully examining a map showing the overall power distribution of the major families, sects, and cities within the Immortal Mountain, Xiao Han finally felt more in the dark. She finally had a clearer picture of this alien world of immortal cultivation.

Judging from the map, the location of the Juxian Sect is right in the heart of the entire fairy mountain, and the territory it occupies should be particularly large, because other major forces are quite far away from it.

Crescent City is a fairy city built on the edge of the Monster Forest.

From books introducing the world of immortal cultivation, we can learn that the reason why the Juxian Sect built Xinyue City on the edge of the Monster Forest was also for a reason.

The Monster Forest is a mountain range with a unique terrain and a vast area, which is completely occupied by monsters.

The north and south sides of this mountain range are surrounded by steep peaks that reach into the clouds, like two walls, blocking the entire mountain territory occupied by monsters.

The west exit of the two walls was a large desert area that was gradually becoming sandy, while the east exit was the territory of the Juxian Sect.

When the two walls reach the east, they shrink slightly inward to form a pocket-shaped arc, and Crescent City is built at the entrance of the pocket.

The reason why the Juxian Sect built a city here is because many years ago, a monster riot broke out in the Monster Forest. The monsters of all sizes that rushed out of the mountains naturally attacked the Juxian Sect, which was closest to the Monster Forest.

Although the Juxian Sect finally stopped the beast tide, the losses were enormous, especially the various industries and spiritual plants around the sect, which were completely destroyed.

Therefore, afterwards, the Juxian Sect established the first line of defense against the beast tide at the entrance of the Monster Forest.

This stopover was originally used to monitor the movements of monsters, and also to provide a safe place for sect disciples who were going to the Monster Forest to complete missions to replenish supplies.

Gradually, some independent cultivators who had gone to the Monster Forest in search of resources also settled here to restock their supplies. The Juxian Sect simply built a formal city, set up a large-scale spirit gathering array, and improved both the hardware and software facilities, thus attracting more and more independent cultivators.

With more people, there are naturally more business opportunities. Some families and sects have also begun to set up bases here.

In order to maintain its popularity, the Juxian Sect would occasionally release some rare resources that were difficult to obtain from the outside world, attracting more independent cultivators and small forces to move in, thus becoming the largest immortal city under its jurisdiction.

After all, if another beast tide occurred, all the cultivators in New Moon City would be the first group to resist it. Furthermore, the Juxian Sect had discovered that the immense wealth New Moon City had brought them was beyond their imagination, so they devoted even more effort to managing New Moon City, turning it into a cash cow for the sect.

This is also the fundamental reason why the independent cultivators in Xinyue City have the opportunity to buy the Foundation Establishment Pill.

Only by releasing bait from time to time can you attract the surrounding fish.

Crescent City, relying on the Monster Forest, can also provide survival opportunities for independent cultivators, and even opportunities to get rich overnight. With such a virtuous cycle, Crescent City has become a paradise for independent cultivators.

But as more and more independent cultivators came here, the competition naturally became fiercer, and robberies and murders occurred one after another. This place also became a hell for independent cultivators.

Of course, no one who went to Xinyue City would think that he would be the unlucky one who died in a foreign land. They all moved to Xinyue City with the mentality of climbing up.

Just like Xiao Han and the others, at this moment, the four of them gathered together, discussing how to proceed on a large map.

Finally, Xiao Han suggested that they ignore Yundu City and first find all the immortal cities with teleportation arrays, mark them on the map, then find the immortal city with a teleportation array closest to Feihuang City, and finally use the teleportation array to teleport to the place closest to Juxian Sect.

This may be a roundabout way, but it will make the journey much safer.

Perhaps there are fixed treasure ship routes for transporting monks between some immortal cities or major forces, but the key is that they are afraid of attracting the attention of interested people and dare not inquire about it openly.

After discussion, several people felt that Xiao Han’s idea was feasible, so they began to look for which immortal cities had teleportation arrays.

However, there was very little information on this subject in the books and jade slips they bought.

Xiao Han volunteered to go to the bookstore to look for it again.

Looking at the time, there was still some time before dark, so Xiao Han immediately left the inn.

After finding a large bookstore and walking in, Xiao Han asked the owner directly, "I want to travel. I heard that some immortal cities have teleportation arrays. I'd like to experience the feeling of traveling with them. I just don't know which immortal cities have them. Does the bookstore have any books on this subject?"

The bookstore owner said as he went to get a book from the shelf, "I heard that riding the teleportation array is not cheap."

Xiao Han smiled and said, "I'm just trying something new. Besides, the teleportation array costs money, but it's safe and fast. If our Feihuang City also had a teleportation array, I would definitely use it instead of wandering around in the wilderness alone."

The bookstore owner laughed and said, "Even if you're going out to travel, you can't go alone, right? Aren't you planning to join the caravan?"

Xiao Han deliberately said, "If the people from the caravan saw me going out alone and robbed and killed me on the way, wouldn't that be even more unsafe?"

The bookstore owner glared at her disapprovingly. "Aren't you being too cautious? The Chen family's caravan has always had a good reputation. Whenever they set out, they post the date of their trip at the mission posting center. Cultivators who want to join them can travel with them for a fixed fee. So far, I haven't heard any rumors of them robbing or killing culprits."

"Is that so? I'll go take a look then. Thank you. By the way, how many spirit stones does this book cost?"

Xiao Han was delighted and thanked the bookstore owner.

"Ten spirit stones for one copy. This is a travelogue. It's perfect for you to read more when you go out for a trip."

Xiao Han thanked him again, paid the spirit stones, and took the book back to the inn.

As soon as she entered the door, she repeated what the bookstore owner said and asked them to discuss how credible it was and whether they should go to the place where the task was issued to check.

She herself took the travel notes and flipped through them quickly. The travel notes were very vivid and interesting, and some of the contents recorded were very helpful to her, but she didn't have time to read them carefully.

She skimmed through the entire book, marked the information she wanted, and then passed it around to a few people. She then marked the immortal city with the teleportation array on the map.

In this way, a safe and clear roadmap is created.

Then, they discussed which route to take to reach Tianque City, the first fairy city with a teleportation array.

The most important thing now is that the Chen family caravan is currently going to the immortal city of business, but they don’t know which one it is. They have to wait until tomorrow to check the bulletin board before making any discussion.
