Chapter 41 Selecting a Cave

Seeing Zhang Zhixuan's reluctance, the middle-aged cultivator looked a little embarrassed and said reluctantly: "Of course there are cheap ones. Go along this road and walk two miles up to Black Mountain Square. There are hundreds of small courtyards that are vacant.

However, the spiritual energy in these small courtyards is thin. There are only first-level middle-grade spiritual veins in them, which are not enough for you Qi training cultivators to practice.

These small courtyards do not have attached spiritual fields, and they cannot use the gathering spirit array to gather spiritual energy. Once the rules are violated, they will be immediately expelled from Black Mountain Square.

Except for casual cultivators with extremely low cultivation and no spiritual stones, no cultivators are willing to live in such small courtyards.

The cultivators living in such courtyards are either elderly cultivators who have given up cultivation, or cultivators who have just entered the Qi training stage and have no spiritual stones.

However, this low-level cave also has some advantages, that is, the price. The price is extremely cheap. You only need to pay one spirit stone every year to live in Heishanfang for one year.

According to the rules set by Taixu Patriarch, cultivators are prohibited from fighting within thirty miles of Heishanfang.

Taking out one spirit stone every year can exchange for a year of peace.

Some cultivators who have no hope in the path of Taoism basically move their caves to the small courtyard at the foot of the mountain, and live one day at a time in Heishanfang until the spirit stones are exhausted and they are driven out of the cave. "

"My cultivation is already good, and living in such a low-level cave is a bit conspicuous, which is somewhat inconsistent with my purpose of keeping a low profile and looking for enemies.

This time I settled in Heishanfang, I can neither be in the limelight nor too low-key. I have to be like a normal casual cultivator and settle down in Heishanfang, so that I will not be suspected by others, and it is possible to find out the real news and avenge my father and resolve the problem. Obsession. "

Zhang Zhixuan thought about it, and finally made up his mind. He smiled and said, "My fellow Taoist, although we are casual cultivators, we also have an elder who used to hang out in Black Mountain Square. He is not an ignorant fool.

Of the two caves you introduced, one is prepared for foundation-building cultivators.

And cultivators who dare to enter the Southern Wilderness to hunt monsters will hunt monsters above level three once they successfully build their foundations, occupy the spiritual veins where they are entrenched, and open up caves outside.

So although these high-level caves are good, foundation-building cultivators are often unwilling to live in the market, and for Qi training cultivators, the price of this kind of cave is too expensive.

Only some small immortal cultivation families will rent this kind of cave.

And the other kind of cave is prepared for casual cultivators who are just hanging around, and we two brothers and sisters are not allowed to live in it. How could he live there if he was just going to live there? "

After hearing what Zhang Zhixuan said, the middle-aged cultivator's face changed and said, "So you are a familiar customer. I am so sorry for your disrespect.

Since you two are very familiar with Black Mountain Square, I will not say much.

Most of the caves suitable for cultivators in the late stage of Qi training are on the mountainside.

There is a spiritual cave in the cave, but it takes ten days to open it once, and each time it is open for only three days. The cultivators in the cave cannot open the spiritual cave for cultivation at will. Once they are discovered, they must recover the losses and be severely punished.

In addition, there are three thirds of the first-level high-quality spiritual fields in the cave, which can grow spiritual rice to supply the cultivators for cultivation.

The prices of these caves are also different, and the concentration of spiritual energy inside is also different. The high price is dozens of spiritual stones a year, and the low price is only about seven or eight spiritual stones. "

After listening to the introduction of the middle-aged cultivator, Zhang Zhixuan was also somewhat moved and asked, "Are there any fire eyes of earth fire in these caves? Can they make pills and refine weapons? ”

“So you can actually make pills. You look young, but you have extraordinary skills, right?

Most of us here are independent cultivators who lack inheritance. There are very few cultivators who can make pills. Except for high-level caves, most caves in the Qi training period do not have this function.

However, there are several shops selling elixirs in the market, and these shops are almost always recruiting alchemists.

Since you have a skill, it is easy for you to find your place. ”

Under the introduction of the middle-aged cultivator, Zhang Zhixuan and the others chose a more spacious cave.

This cave was opened in the cave, and there is a trickling stream flowing inside. This underground river passes through the cave several dozen feet deep and flows into the deepest part of the Black Mountain.

Zhang Zhixuan looked at the stream and asked in confusion: "Will there be some hidden monsters in the stream that invade the cave?"

“You don’t know, the key to the Black Mountain becoming a fourth-level middle-grade spiritual vein is a spiritual river inside the Black Mountain.

These streams are all tributaries of the Ling River. It is precisely because of the irrigation of the spiritual water in the Ling River that a large number of spiritual fields can be opened up in Heihefang, where some spiritual rice can be planted and some monks can be raised.

This spiritual river is the foundation of the Black Mountain monks. There are a lot of forbidden methods arranged in it. Even the Liang Patriarch of Black Mountain often pays attention to this place.

So, fellow Taoist, don't worry, there is no danger here at all. "

After sending the middle-aged monk away and paying a one-year rent of fifteen spiritual stones in one lump sum, Zhang Zhixuan and the others moved into the cave on the same day.

Zhang Zhixuan opened the spiritual cave, sensed the spiritual energy and said: "This spiritual cave looks like it is already a second-grade upper grade, and the spiritual energy is better than the family spiritual field.

Every ten days, the spiritual cave can be opened for three days of cultivation, which is also higher than the mountain gate.

Although the price is slightly higher, the high price also has its advantages. "

In recent years, Zhang Zhixuan and his partner have accumulated more than 300 spirit stones, and they are now able to live comfortably for the time being.

There are three-tenths of spirit fields in the cave, and the spirit rice planted there is about to mature.

Zhang Zhixuan looked at the spiritual rice and found that the spiritual rice here was different from that in his family. The rice grains were full and crystal clear, and the whole body was black, like huge pearls.

This kind of spiritual rice is called Xuanzhudan, also known as black pearls. The grade is also higher than the chalcedony rice of Zhang's family, reaching the first-grade upper grade.

Although the grade is much higher, the output of spiritual rice is much lower. One mu of black pearl spiritual rice has a yield of less than 100 kilograms, which is only three or four layers of chalcedony rice.

The three parts of the earth spiritual rice in the cave can only allow Zhang Zhixuan and his friends to try something new and change their taste, but it can't supply the daily consumption of the two.

In addition to the three parts of spiritual fields, there are four or five rooms in the cave, and there are no other functions such as alchemy rooms and refining rooms. Some of the furniture and decorations inside are also a bit old.

Zhang Zhixuan touched the accumulated dust and estimated that this cave has been uninhabited for two or three years.

After Zhang Zhixuan and his partner had tidied up their rooms and cleaned up the cave, they followed the path on the mountainside and entered the Black Mountain Market to inquire about information and see if they could find a job that could earn spiritual stones.

Although the two of them had no worries about food and clothing for the time being, Zhang Zhixuan's character of preparing for a rainy day would not allow him to live a life of idleness.

Besides, he went down the mountain to seek revenge and resolve the obsession of this flesh body. Only by hanging out in a well-informed place could he possibly find out the whereabouts of his enemy.
