Cultivation Begins From The Desert

The Nanman Kingdom is located at the southernmost end of the Immortal Cultivation World in Liuyunzhou. From the Nanman Kingdom to the south, through the wild jungle for millions of miles, you can reach another immortal cultivation world—Tiannanzhou Immortal Cultivation World.

But it's not easy, very easy.

In the wild jungle of millions of miles, there are not only all kinds of powerful monsters, but also countless wild and alien tribes.

Those savage alien tribes belong to the same intelligent race as humans, but they have innate supernatural powers that humans do not possess.

Every alien tribe in the barbaric alien tribe has at least the strength of a human monk in the Qi training period, and the strongest among them can even be compared with the true immortal in the transcending tribulation period among human monks.

It is precisely because of the interception and obstruction of these wild and alien tribes that the communication between the two immortal worlds of Liuyunzhou and Tiannanzhou has not been smooth.

As a result, in order to travel to the other side's world of immortality, the high-ranking monks in the immortal world of both sides would rather transit through the immortal world of Donghuazhou than take the risk of crossing the wild jungle.

Fortunately, although those wild alien races in the wild jungle are powerful, their population is not as large as that of humans, and they have no intention of leaving the wild jungle to occupy the world of human cultivation, so human monks don't have to worry about them making trouble.

And all kinds of unique treasures of heaven and earth in the wild jungle have also attracted countless human monks to go there for treasure hunting and exploration.

Sometimes some immortal cultivators can even make deals with some wild alien races in the wild jungle, using the pills refined by human immortal cultivators in exchange for raw materials such as high-level demon pills, animal skins, and elixir.

Of course, more often than not, human monks met wild aliens in the wild jungle, and their heads were directly chopped off by the opponent and buried in the soil to make soil fertilizer.

After Zhou Yang left Yunxia Kingdom, he flew all the way in a hurry for three months before entering the territory of Nanman Kingdom.

He came to Nanman Kingdom here, of course, for the piece of "Nine Heavens Profound Gold" that appeared here hundreds of years ago.

"Nine Heavens Profound Gold" is the best material for refining "Qianyang Golden Pagoda". As long as there is a slight chance to get this kind of treasure, Zhou Yang will not give up.

However, at this time, more than three hundred years have passed since the "Nine Heavens Profound Gold" disappeared in this world, and the monks who still have an impression of this matter are at least the monks of the Zifu period.

So it was really difficult for Zhou Yang to inquire about this matter.

Fortunately, he still has plenty of time, so he can take root in the Nanman Kingdom first and gradually develop it.

With this plan in mind, after Zhou Yang entered the Nanman Kingdom, he went straight to the southernmost part of the country, a well-known fairy city "Hellfire City".

"Hellfire City" is the largest fairy city in Nanman country, and the founder of this fairy city is the largest sect in Nanman country, Shenhuo Palace.

Shenhuo Palace is a relatively young sect among the top sects, with only five thousand years of history.

However, the short time of establishing a faction does not mean that its strength is weak.

In today's Shenhuo Palace, there are three Nascent Soul Daoists alone, and there is also a sixth-order high-grade monster "Yanjiao" as the Zhenzong Spirit Beast.

This level of strength, even looking at the many sects in the entire Liuyunzhou Immortal Cultivation World, is also at the upper level.

And "Hellfire City", as a fairy city carefully built by Shenhuo Palace, also has many unique characteristics it possesses.

First of all, this fairy city is built on a sixth-level spiritual mountain less than a thousand miles away from the wild jungle. If the monks in Liuyunzhou's immortal world want to venture into the wild jungle to find treasure, 80% of them will choose to settle in "Hellfire City", and then Find teammates who set off together, or purchase some consumable spiritual items in it.

Secondly, there is a natural fire abyss to the west of this fairy city. The natural fire abyss is hundreds of miles long and more than three thousand feet wide. Inside the flames is a raging fire that never stops.

The ancestors of Shenhuo Palace used this natural fire abyss to build thousands of refining rooms and alchemy rooms on the mountains on both sides of the fire abyss, and rented them out to all monks at a very low price.

The original intention of the elders of Shenhuo Palace was to use this method to attract popularity.

However, no one expected that after thousands of years of development, "Hellfire City" has now become the permanent residence of casual practitioner alchemists and weapon refiners from more than a dozen countries around the Nanman Kingdom.

And these casual cultivators and alchemists who are resident here have attracted countless casual cultivators to come here for the "Hellfire City", either looking for people to buy pills and magic weapons, or wanting to learn craftsmanship from teachers. .

Developed in this way to the present, the number of monks in "Hellfire City" has been maintained at more than 100,000 all year round, which is not much inferior to Xianyang City, a famous city of immortals that has been established for tens of thousands of years.

Zhou Yang rushed to the outside of Hellfire City in the middle of the night, because it was late at night, and he saw the magnificent scenery in the sky to the west of this fairy city that could not be seen elsewhere at a glance.

I saw that the sky west of Hellfire City was as bright red as if it were burning, and the darkness was dispelled by the soaring flames in the fire abyss below, making the hundreds of miles around the fire abyss as bright as day all year round.

Looking from the west to the east, all kinds of tall fairy buildings in Hellfire City are shining with spiritual light, and they also emit colorful spiritual light to dispel the darkness nearby, making people want to approach them involuntarily.

The fear of darkness is deeply embedded in human beings, so when walking in the dark, people will involuntarily approach the light, and this is no exception for immortal cultivators who have night vision.

However, the most conspicuous building in the city is a torch altar in the fairy city.

The torch altar is hundreds of feet high, and the top of the hemispherical sunken altar is a perennial red flame.

This torch altar is the landmark building "Sacred Fire Altar" in Hellfire City.

Because the Nanman Kingdom is far away from the center of the immortal cultivation world in Liuyunzhou, and far away from the sites of the Beast Sect, Purple Star Sect and other sects that have enemies with Zhou Yang, when Zhou Yang entered Hellfire City, he did not hide his face anymore, but still kept his " Huang Yi's pseudonym.

It is worth mentioning that Prison Fire City exempts entry fees for monks above the purple mansion period, and when they learned that Zhou Yang came to Prison Fire City for the first time, the monks from Shenhuo Palace who handled the entry procedures for him deliberately He called a young girl in the Qi training period who was engaged in the work of "wind media" to guide him.

Of course, Zhou Yang must have paid for the traveling expenses for the little girl.

The Hellfire City is not forbidden to be empty, but it is forbidden to fly in and out of the Immortal City. Whether a cultivator enters the city or leaves the city, he must lower his body after approaching the city wall and enter and exit from the lower city gate to facilitate control and registration.

After the little girl who led the way took him into the city, Zhou Yang released the "Phantom Cloud Boat" and carried the little girl around the fairy city under its guidance, looking for a cave suitable for his cultivation.

After wandering around the city in this way, Zhou Yang finally chose a fourth-tier cave in Nancheng District, which is suitable for cultivators in the Zifu period, after looking at several caves.

This cave is naturally incomparable with the one in Xianyang City, but there is not much difference, the environment is quiet, the concentration of aura is also sufficient, and the price is naturally much cheaper, only 2,500 yuan per year Lingshi.

After Zhou Yang paid the rent for five years at a time, he officially moved into the Dongfu.

After moving into Xindongfu, Zhou Yang first went to various shops and free markets in the city to wander around to understand the price level in the city.

After two days of inquiring in this way, after he had a solid idea in mind, he bought a shop in a commercial street not far from the exit of Nancheng, with a rental price of 2,000 spirit stones a year, and named it "Huang "Shi's Artifact Refining Shop", which specializes in the refining of various third- and fourth-order magic weapons and sells the third-level magic weapons and talismans refined by oneself.

This shop is closed, and it can't work without a buddy.

So Zhou Yang recruited an old Qi training monk with many years of experience in the industry and a wealthy family to be the store manager and a part-time buddy at the price of one hundred spirit stones for one year to help him look after the store and solicit business.

He himself still practiced in the cave most of the time on weekdays, and he would only go to the shop when he received an order for refining equipment, or when he was free someday.

In the blink of an eye, three years have passed.

Three years is naturally only a short period of time for the entire life of a cultivator.

But for Zhou Yang with ulterior motives, after three years of management, his goal of integrating into Hellfire City and gaining a firm foothold in the city has basically been achieved.

At this time, after three years of operation, his "Huangji Refining Shop" has already gained some fame among some middle and high-level monks in the city. Many foundation building monks and Zifu monks who live in the city know that there is another one in Nancheng. The fourth-level refining master, and the level of refining is very good.

A fourth-level master craftsman has a certain status no matter where he is, and he is also the first choice for many immortal cultivators to make friends with.

Therefore, in the past three years, although Zhou Yang has not received a fourth-order magic weapon refining business, he has successfully established some friendship with several long-lived Zifu monks in the city, and even received a fourth-order refining business from a loose practitioner. At the invitation of the master of weaponry, I went to participate in an exchange meeting for casual weapon refiners, and exchanged some experience in weapon refining.

Generally speaking, those refiners from the big sects and big families would not be willing to participate in this kind of exchange meeting for loose equipment refiners, because what they gained from this exchange meeting must be less than what they paid for themselves.

So Zhou Yang was willing to participate in it, and was willing to share some of his refining experience, which greatly gained the goodwill of many loose cultivators, and indirectly improved his "Huangji Refining Shop" business.

On this day, Zhou Yang was practicing in the cave, when he suddenly received a letter from Feijian.

He took off the flying sword and took a look. It turned out that the messenger flying sword was sent by Xiao Feng, the master of loose weapons that he was acquainted with. There was a swap meeting and he was asked if he wanted to attend.

"It's finally here! I've spent the past three years trying to manage this relationship!"

"After this high-level monk exchange meeting, it seems that we can try to inquire about [Nine Heavens Profound Gold] from Xiao Feng. This person is over 400 years old and has a lot of friends, so he must know some inside information about the past! "

Zhou Yang held the Messenger Flying Sword in his hand, and his face was full of relief and joy.

Xiao Feng's willingness to invite him to participate in the high-ranking monk exchange meeting shows that the other party has initially recognized him as a friend, otherwise he would not rashly invite an unfamiliar person into his circle.

And it's not difficult to inquire about news among friends, right?
