Chapter 194 Wild Taoist
Zhang Song knew that this place was very chaotic, so when he arrived he deliberately hid himself as an ordinary cultivator.
He was really overthinking it. No matter whether they were ordinary or not, the main thing was that they were cultivators, just like walking spirit stones. Even if they looked to be only at the Jindan stage and the old ones were almost dying, there were still people who would stop them and touch them a few times. If the old cultivator was not ready to self-destruct, those who blocked his way would definitely kill him and sell his body.
The monks here can hardly be considered human beings. They are all wolves, wolves that have been hungry for a long time, and they will tear off a piece of meat even from their own kind.
There is also a Siling Pavilion here, but the house is not big, with two doors at the front and back, and the light is extremely dim.
"Buy and sell, buy and sell, Siling Pavilion is at your service. If you have anything to sell, just bring it out. You know the rules, right?"
Zhang Song glanced at the shopkeeper, who was at the same Nascent Soul stage as himself. He was a pioneer and was responsible for his own losses and profits, but he could borrow the name of the Four Spirits Pavilion.
There are too many people who have gone crazy due to poverty in places like this. Fortunately, the name of Siling Pavilion is useful, and the place they chose is not far from the City Lord's Mansion. Even a madman has to consider the consequences.
Zhang Song took out his VIP bronze medal.
"Oh, oh, my friend, look at the look in my eyes."
Only part of the VIP status of Siling Pavilion is calculated through transaction amount. A large part requires evaluation by the local shopkeeper, and there will also be special worshippers to sign and seal the approval, etc., which is very troublesome.
The shopkeeper is called Huang Lei. He has been in charge of the Four Spirits Pavilion in the city for thirty-seven years. He has not made any special contributions. If his cultivation and contributions cannot be improved, he can only work in this position for another twenty years at most.
"Rent a house." Huang Lei thought about it.
"The three areas each have their own advantages and disadvantages. Let me explain them to you, fellow Taoist."
"The best place is the City Lord's Mansion. Most of the Spiritualization Realm cultivators live here. It is relatively safe. The downside is that the rent is expensive, and every month you have to complete a task issued by the City Lord's Mansion."
"The second one is the central area. It's not very chaotic. It's mostly populated by independent cultivators who know some skills in alchemy and talisman making. The rent is also not low." After thinking for a while, he added: "However, every ten years or so, there are always some daring cultivators who will plunder regardless of the consequences."
Zhang Song raised his head and Huang Lei nodded slightly, which means what you think.
If nothing goes wrong, it's fine. But if something goes wrong, there will be big shots taking advantage of you.
"The third one is the shantytown, which is on the edge of the city and is extremely chaotic. The only advantage is that it is cheap. The disadvantage is that many evil cultivators disguise themselves as humans and practice there. People disappear inexplicably every day."
He chose the central area, which cost three hundred spirit stones a month. This price was already expensive for ordinary cultivators.
The yard is not big, but it is clean and tidy, with a feeling of a new countryside. Some houses have simple defensive formations set up at their doorsteps.
He settled down here. Bald Valley was very large and dangerous, just like a bottomless ocean. Tai'an City was just a small village on the edge of the ocean.
Zhang Song practiced peacefully every day. In the morning, he would go to the market for casual cultivators. In the afternoon, he would sit in the tavern, spend a spirit stone, and chat with a group of casual cultivators.
Baldhead Valley is several thousand meters deep and a thousand miles long, and is shrouded in thunderstorms all year round.
It's foggy here, and full of evil. Some people have even discovered some ancient altars, which may be related to some disappeared ancient religions.
Although this place is dangerous and there are robbers everywhere, it is Tianxianzhou, the only place where people can become rich overnight.
Thunder ore. If you are lucky, you can pick up a piece of thunder ore by bending down.
The ratio of refined thunder crystal to fairy stone is 10 to 1.
Some shops are even willing to exchange one hundred and twenty spirit stones for one thunder crystal. If the thunder crystal is of higher purity, the exchange price can go up a bit.
During the more than one month he spent here, he met three friends, one of whom was his neighbor Fang Ming and his wife. They were both Nascent Soul cultivators and had three children. However, the eldest son was in his thirties and had not yet condensed a golden elixir.
The other two are the wild Taoist Kun Chanzi, who is at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage, and the casual cultivator Song Tang.
The three of them had nothing to do all day. Occasionally, when the weather was fine, they would go for a walk around Bald Valley together, and leave immediately if they felt any danger.
"Yesterday, more than 130 people from the Lei Xuan Society broke into the gray fog area. I heard that not a single one of them came out and they all went in." Song Tang's voice trembled as he reminded the two in a low voice.
"Senior Liu also went there, but didn't come out. I heard that the strange strength this time has reached the late stage of Spirit Transformation." Kun Chanzi also told Zhang Song and the others the news he had heard.
This Liu Tao is extremely famous among the independent cultivators. He is in the middle stage of the Spiritual Transformation Realm and has more than thirty people under him, making him a very powerful force.
I have been in Tai'an City for thirty years, but I didn't expect that I would be defeated there this time.
Among them, Zhang Song had more money, so he ordered a few dishes and asked for a pot of second-level spirit wine.
"It must be said that Brother Zhang is very magnanimous." Kun Chanzi's eyes lit up when he saw the wine pot.
"Let me pour it, let me pour it." Song Tang grabbed it and poured it for Zhang Song first, then filled up himself and the Taoist priest's glasses.
Song Tang followed the path of martial arts, using thunder crystals to refine his qi and blood. In recent days, he has begun to use the power of thunder and lightning to temper his body.
According to him, for a martial artist to advance to the stage of Divine Transformation, the demands on the physical body are too great. If the strength is not trained into the bones and deep into the internal organs, a flash of lightning will kill the person, and he will not even be able to see the edge of the Divine Transformation.
Zhang Song knew clearly that among the three men, Song Tang was the most treacherous. This wild Taoist priest could even draw talismans in exchange for some spirit stones or something. This man was definitely a robber.
The three of them ate, drank and joked.
When Song Tang put down the wine bowl, Zhang Song and Kun Chanzi also put down their chopsticks.
The appearance of a large patch of gray fog in Baldhead Valley, with an unusual intensity, means that a thunder disaster is likely to follow. A true thunder disaster is one that will not end until one is dead, and it carries with it destructive power.
"I am ready to advance to the Thunder Tribulation. Not only me, but also my two fellow Taoists will not miss this opportunity."
After this kind of death calamity, more than half of the power of thunder and lightning in the sky is consumed. When the real promotion thunder calamity occurs, not only will the power be much smaller, but there is a high probability that some special substances such as thunder liquid will appear.
After semen comes white, and after that comes blood!
The cultivators understand this principle and use it completely to overcome tribulations.
Kun Chanzi nodded: "I am waiting too. I can't be the first, nor the last."
Zhang Song asked curiously: "Why can't I be the last one?"
The two looked at Zhang Song in silence: "The well has dried up. You can die of thirst without getting any water."
Song Tang had a look of gnashing teeth. After this failure, at his age, his energy and blood would go downhill, and it would be impossible for him to recover to his current peak.
Although the wild Taoist priest Kun Chanzi looked indifferent, he was obviously determined.
Although the Nascent Soul has a certain status in the Great Domain, the God Transformation is considered a true cultivator. The saying "the difference between immortals and mortals is wide" refers to the gap between the Nascent Soul and the God Transformation.
Zhang Song raised his eyebrows twice. They were independent cultivators, and even they knew the news. I'm afraid that in a few days, Tai'an City would experience a collective tribulation.
Under the mutual influence, I am afraid that the difficulty has not only not decreased, but has increased.
