Start with a blood-drinking sword and destroy the world of immortal cultivation

Fengyun City, one of the famous war cities in Liantian Mountains.

"stop."

Outside the gate of Fengyun City, two monks and soldiers wearing magical weapons and armor and holding magical flying swords stopped Ye Buwen and the others.

"What's the matter with you two brothers?"

The soldier looked at Ye Buwen with a slightly confused look and understood that these three guys were new to the business.

"Newcomers, you need to use spiritual stones to purchase seasonal items to enter Fengyun City."

"Seasonal?" Lin Murong was confused. This was the first time she heard about it.

"The season is the record of your entry into the city. It records the time and the pre-stored spiritual stones."

"Every month you stay in Fengyun City, you have to pay three spiritual stones to Fengyun City."

"If it is found that the balance of the season is insufficient to pay, you need to pay the missing balance of spirit stones, otherwise you will be driven out of Fengyun City by the guards."

"Three spiritual stones per month! Fengyun City is robbing money." Zhou Yi shouted in shock when he heard this.

She, a seventh-level Qi refining monk, only has ten spirit stones to complete all tasks in the sect.

And just staying in this city for a month requires three spirit stones. Wouldn't this cost her her life?

The monk soldier agreed: "Yes, they are just robbing money."

"The same is true for other cities in the Liantian Mountains. If you want to stay in the city, you need to pay expensive spiritual stone fees."

Ye Buwen showed a rather interested expression.

"This plan can be implemented and everyone can abide by it. There should be explanations in it."

The monk-soldier nodded.

"To put it bluntly, this is a way for major cities to drive people away. As an indestructible barrier in the Liantian Mountains, the city in the Liantian Mountains is also a gold-mining land with huge opportunities. Countless casual cultivators and even sect monks will come here to gain opportunities to cultivate immortality."

"But Fengyun City is so big that it cannot accommodate so many monks, and the monks who come here are not allowed to lose their fighting spirit and stay in the city to enjoy the protection and opportunities of Fengyun City."

"So the city lord will set up expensive seasonal orders to block the immortal cultivators and force those who come here out."

"Only when a steady stream of monks are driven out to the Liantian Mountains to search for resources and then sell them here can the prosperity of Fengyun City's gold rush be maintained."

Ye Buwen knew it.

It is indeed a place known as a hell for the weak, and the system is indeed cruel.

"Three people, three months each."

The monk soldier nodded and pointed to the place where they should go.

That's where there was a long queue at the city gate.

Many monks who were dusty and disheveled were waiting in line with huge backpacks on their backs.

Some monks who lack spiritual stones will sell part of their harvest to the buying merchants who are waiting on the sidelines.

After waiting in line for a while and paying the money, Ye Buwen got his seasonal order.

The season is an emerald token with the time of entering the city and the amount of 9 spirit stones engraved on it.

Ye Buwen was very surprised. Could someone be cheating?

Entering Fengyun City, the first thing you see is huge and solid houses made of stone, lining both sides of the streets.

There is usually a door plaque hanging on the door of a house, such and such a weapon refining room, such and such an alchemy room, such and such a chamber of commerce, etc.

Monks who carry things on their backs or are dusty when entering the city will be grabbed by the monks waiting in the city.

"Shangxian, do you want to sell something? Scenery Chamber of Commerce, the purchase price is high, I guarantee your satisfaction."

"Tianlou Inn is affordable. There is a primary spirit gathering array in the house. All immortals are welcome to come and rent. You can also get a 10% discount coupon for one month's price from me. The quantity is limited, first come first served."

"Mr. Chen's weapon refining room is purchasing the bones of a first-grade late-stage earth-type monster beast. The price is negotiable."

Ye Buwen and others entered the city and were also spotted by a monk.

However, it was not Ye Buwen who fell in love with him, but the two female cultivators following him. He stepped forward and said, "Two immortals, would you like to stay? We can also provide ways to make money here."

"What are the ways to make money?" Zhou Yi asked with interest.

"As you know, the majority of monks have a strong need for dual cultivation after experiencing a battle between life and death in the wild."

The monk had a you-know-what look on his face.

"Fuck you, uncle, is this female fairy such a despicable person? Get out!"

Zhou Yi yelled and cursed, and even made fists to hit someone.

The monk apologized, took out two engraved wooden signs and said, "I am Meng Lang. This is my contact sign. If you need anything, you can go to the address above to find me."

After that, he skillfully put the contact cards into the hands of the two female cultivators.

Ye Buwen was directly ignored.

"Brother, what about me?" Ye Buwen asked with some dissatisfaction.

The monk looked at Ye Buwen up and down: "Young man who is on the first level of Qi Refining, only when you have money to spend will you be eligible to receive my contact card."

Ye Buyen had a slight smile on his face.

The first level of Qi refining is really a good disguise.

"Throw away the cards, let's go into the city and have a look." Ye Buwen said to the two women.

Zhou Yi threw the contact card at the monk.

"You are so blind. You not only misjudged the true nature of this fairy, but also ignored my master. Are you the only one who still works as a pimp? What the hell is this place of yours? Please shut down as soon as possible."

After that, Zhou Yi and Ye Buwen left and walked into the city.

The monk picked up the contact card nonchalantly and smiled quietly: "How could I misunderstand the nature of a female cultivator like you? You are just arrogant in the novice stage."

"But it's really rare for a person who is at the first level of Qi Refining to have two female cultivators and maids who are at the seventh level of Qi Refining."

The monk laughed with some disdain: "But Fengyun City is not a place where a young master can stay."

After complaining, the monk continued his work.

There is no other way. If he wants to stay in Fengyun City, he has to earn spiritual stones. Once he can't earn spiritual stones as fast as he spends them, he will be driven out.

Passing by the busy area at the city gate, the three of them came to the bustling street in the middle of the city.

This place is more full of life than outside.

There are restaurants, food stalls, shops selling spiritual rice, clothes, daily necessities, and occasionally a few shops selling pills and talismans.

One of the shops with a sign of Qianlong Alchemy Room attracted Ye Buwen's attention.

Because the door of this shop said "Prosperous Shop Transfer".

In the shop, a middle-aged male cultivator with traces of time on his face and confused eyes was lying on the counter.

He was waiting for the buyer to come in boredom.

This shop should be about to go bankrupt, because there are very few pills on the shelves in the store, and only a few bottles prove that he is still selling pills.

Ye Buwen walked in.

The middle-aged male cultivator looked up at him.

"What are you doing here? Buying pills or a shop?"

"Buying a shop."

The male cultivator was a little surprised, but he instantly became much more energetic.

He looked at Ye Buwen with suspicion: "A shop is very expensive, can you afford it?"

It's not his fault that he is suspicious, because Ye Buwen is only at the first level of Qi Refining, and it's unlikely that he is a rich man.

Even if a rich young man has no talent, he would not be only at the first level of Qi Refining, and his cultivation level is so low.

"You tell me how much it is, and I'll see if I can afford it."

"One price, 1,300 spirit stones. No bargaining accepted."

The two female cultivators opened their mouths wide, this shop is too expensive.

"Can you introduce your store? I want to see if it's worth the price."

"Of course."

The male cultivator stood up and introduced: "The location of the store is needless to say, there is a lot of traffic. There are mostly cultivators who come to stay and consume. If you sell pills that speed up your cultivation, the sales will be very good."

"As a cultivator, there are shops and restaurants around, life is very convenient and comfortable, and it can satisfy your appetite."

"I didn't make any major changes to the cave in the store, which can reduce your modification costs."

"I'll take you to see it."

Ye Buwen nodded and followed the male cultivator into the area behind the store.

Opening the door, a small courtyard came into view.

The courtyard is about 100 square meters, with a blooming peach tree, a well, and a stone table. It doesn't look spacious and luxurious enough.

Opposite the courtyard, like other places outside, is a large stone house made entirely of stones, which looks very defensive.

In addition to this large stone house, on the left side of the courtyard is the alchemy room, where you can see the alchemy furnace burning, and on the right are three stone houses.

"The yard is a little small, I modified it myself."

"I don't like to put the alchemy furnace in the cave, so I built an alchemy room on the left. I built the stone house on the right for the monks who look after the store to live in."

Speaking of this, the male cultivator smiled self-deprecatingly: "It's a pity that our store is not profitable enough to hire monks."

"If you want a spacious yard, you can tear down these houses I built."

"I'll take you to see the cave."

The monk took Ye Buwen into the cave.

The cave is very large, more than 200 square meters, divided into three floors: upper, middle and lower.

There are few things inside, and it is even a little empty, lacking the breath of life.

"My cave is very simple, just like when I bought it, and I haven't made any modifications."

"The lower part is the practice room, the middle is my resting place, and the upstairs is used to store sundries."

Ye Buwen touched his chin and thought.

He was quite satisfied with this place because it was big enough.

And the surrounding shops are all uniformly built in terms of layout, and the overall size and layout are similar.

The only thing he was worried about was whether the price was fair.

There is no way, I just arrived and I am not familiar with the market.

In addition, he is only at the first level of Qi Refining, so it is inevitable that some people want to extort money from him, because they think that he is easy to bully because of his low cultivation.

"How about I give you an answer tomorrow?"

"No problem. I can guarantee that my store is the most affordable, no one else." The middle-aged male cultivator was full of confidence.

"Senior, please ask, why do you want to sell this store?"

The male cultivator showed sadness on his face and smiled bitterly.

"There is nothing wrong, I just can't stay here anymore."

"I am an alchemist who can refine thirty kinds of elixirs and the most profitable first-grade elixir, the Julingdan."

"I made money outside and thought highly of myself, so I wanted to come to Fengyun City to make a living and break through the foundation."

The male cultivator said this with a forced and calm smile.

"Then I broke through the foundation three times and failed three times."

"I have spent all the spirit stones and owed debts, so I can only sell the store."

The two female cultivators looked at the male cultivator with sympathy, but also felt a little sad and suspicious.

An excellent alchemist failed to break through the foundation three times, what about them?

It was hard to even get a foundation pill, is there still a chance to break through the foundation?

Although I sympathized with this brother's experience, Ye Buwen captured a very critical information.

This brother owed a debt.

Ye Buwen was alert and he had to be careful when facing people who owed debts.

Because people are easily tempted to have bad thoughts when they are forced into a corner.

At this time, for money, people who owe debts dare to do anything.

Including but not limited to fraud, robbery, borrowing money from friends to make a payment, and even dragging people along.
