Immortal cultivation starts with copying.

The highest cave in the inner city is only seven stories high, and it is still far from the middle of the mountain.

Generally speaking, the second and third levels are more popular with cultivators in the foundation-building stage.

Chen Yunhao has plenty of money, so naturally he wouldn't consider the cave on the first level.

But he didn't dare to rent a cave with more than three floors. He was just a small cultivator in the Qi Refining Stage, and he dared to rent a cave with more than four floors. Isn't that obviously telling others that he is very rich!

In the end, Chen Yunhao rented the cave on the second floor. With the addition of the spirit gathering array he set up, the spiritual energy there was almost as rich, although not as rich as the third floor.

The annual rent for the cave on the second floor is 8,000 low-grade spirit stones, which is indeed much more expensive than Yuxian City.

In addition to the rich spiritual energy, this is one of the reasons why it is expensive.

Another reason is that this place is located in the hinterland of the Northern Yuan Continent. It is the largest fairy city closest to the wilderness, and there is no other one like it.

Strictly speaking, the six cities guarding the border of the wilderness can only be regarded as bridgehead fortresses, and their biggest function is to defend against monsters.

The commercial center where the monks actually conduct transactions is right in Wanling City.

Every year, countless resources obtained from the wilderness are gathered in Wanling City for trading. With more people coming and going, especially more monks from other places, the local prices have been driven up.

The rented caves are all standard and almost the same size.

There is a quiet room, a pill room, and a storage room, and the area is sufficient.

There is almost no commercial transaction in the inner city, and all kinds of shops are in the outer city.

After Chen Yunhao arranged the cave, he first familiarized himself with the general situation of the inner city and outer city.

After all, when arriving in a strange place, I believe every monk will first understand the local situation.

The true inner disciples of the Yuling Sect all live in the sect above the halfway point of the mountain.

Most of the people living in the inner city are the families of inner disciples, outer disciples, the management of Wanling City, and cultivators like Chen Yunhao who are willing to spend money.

In the outer city of Wanling City, there are a lot of shops related to monsters.

There are elixir shops, magic weapon shops, and shops selling talismans. There are many of them in every fairy city.

However, in Wanling City, there are many shops that specialize in dealing in monsters.

This is a typical example of living off the land and the sea, and it is very regional in nature.

Chen Yunhao still has the corpses of more than a dozen monsters in his hands, and there is no point in keeping them now.

I can't go back to Yuxian City for the time being. Besides, even if there are more than a dozen of them, they can't be exchanged for a demon pill, so it's useless to keep them.

This is something that Chen Yunhao still feels very upset about.

He had originally risked his life to go to Zhenhuang City in order to exchange the ancient mirror for the demon pill, but he had never expected that the beast tide that had remained unchanged for thousands of years would undergo a drastic change when it came to him.

You can tell me whether this is unlucky or not, but Chen Yunhao is feeling upset anyway.

Fortunately, I had exchanged for a lot of good things before, which is somewhat of a consolation.

However, Chen Yunhao was not in a hurry to sell the monster in his hand.

The changes in the wild area should not have spread widely yet. Let's wait for two more days and see how the situation develops.

Chen Yunhao bought a batch of elixirs first. After staying in Zhenhuang City for a few months, he almost used up all the elixirs he brought with him.

This time, I bought the elixir by exchanging it with some of the spiritual medicines I had, and I didn't use any of the mid-grade spirit stones.

After buying the elixir, he went straight back to the cave to meditate and practice.

Although he escaped without suffering any physical damage, his internal energy was somewhat depleted.

The most important thing is to be highly focused. Now that I have relaxed, I feel a little tired.

Chen Yunhao meditated and rested for three days before he regained his energy and spirit.

It took another day to replenish the lost number of talismans and shuttle-shaped flying boats.

Wanling City is still too close to the wilderness area, and no one knows what changes may occur in the wilderness, but Chen Yunhao feels that it is always better to be prepared, so he feels at ease.

After packing up, Chen Yunhao once again came from the inner city to the outer city.

This time, the atmosphere in the city was obviously different. The monks on the roadside seemed to have fewer smiles on their faces, and a sense of nervousness and uneasiness permeated the city.

Chen Yunhao randomly walked into a restaurant. This was the place with the most monks coming and going from all over the country. The people were mixed, so naturally they were the most well-informed.

After ordering a pot of spiritual tea, Chen Yunhao drank it slowly, while listening carefully to the discussions of the monks around him.

The six cities on the wild border changed overnight, which can be said to have shaken the entire Northern Yuan Continent.

Wanling City is closest to the wilderness and is the first to receive the news.

In particular, some monks will flee to Wanling City as soon as they escape.

So in the past two days, thousands of escaped cultivators have entered the city, some in the Foundation Establishment stage and some in the Qi Refining stage.

"Brother Wang, you've heard about this. The Yuling Sect suffered heavy losses due to this wild change...!"

There were two middle-aged monks sitting at a table. One of them had a small mustache and spoke in a deliberately low voice.

"A Nascent Soul Elder, more than a dozen Golden Core Deacons and Hall Masters were killed, along with thousands of low-level disciples..."

Another middle-aged cultivator named Wang spoke in a low voice, but he could not conceal the sarcasm in his tone.

Chen Yunhao was someone who had truly experienced the beast tide. He knew what happened that night, so he was very clear that not many people could truly escape unscathed.

Six cities and hundreds of thousands of cultivators, ninety-nine percent of them were killed. This beast tide was the heaviest loss suffered by human cultivators.

"Brother Wang is still the best! He can go wherever he wants by himself, just leave. Unlike me, I still have some assets in this city that I can't leave behind...!"

"Brother Li, what you said is wrong. Is life more important or is the foundation more important?"

I only heard the monk surnamed Wang slowly shaking his head and continuing to speak in a low voice.

"Such a big thing has happened, but there is no movement from the Yuling Sect. It seems that something big must have happened. Brother Li should prepare early!"

No matter what these two people said, it was all speculation. Only Chen Yunhao had a vague feeling in his heart that although Wanling City was close, it should still be safe for the time being.

Humans suffered heavy losses this time, but the demons also suffered huge losses.

This time, the demon clan used all their strength and caught the human cultivators off guard.

But even so, the demon clan still paid a huge price to completely capture the six cities.

Chen Yunhao had been at the front line for three or four months. He knew exactly how many monsters had died in Zhenhuang City. He wouldn't say there were millions of casualties in the six cities, but there were at least 700,000 or 800,000 monsters.

This was actually a serious blow to the demon race, and they definitely had no energy left to invade the human race's heartland.

Moreover, the Five Elements Sect, which is now the farthest away, must have also received the news of the loss of Zhenhuang City.
