Chapter 623 Shengyuan City

With the elixir in hand, Zhang Zhixuan naturally wants to improve his alchemy skills.

Luo Ziyan has been in Qinglihai for these years. Qingxuanzong's fourth-level elixirs and above are all refined by Zhang Zhixuan, and his alchemy skills are still improving slowly.

Although Qingxuanzong's elixir garden has planted more than twenty fifth-level elixirs, only seven or eight can be left to make elixirs for oneself.

These seven or eight fifth-level elixirs that can be used as medicine will have to wait many years to mature.

Although there are many fifth-level elixirs grown in the underground caves of Lingjing Mountain, they are not old enough. The first batch to mature will have to wait for about a hundred years.

However, dozens of fourth-level elixirs have matured in recent years.

Han Yan was almost at the point of breaking through, and he happened to stay in the underground cave of Lingjing Mountain to look after his family.

Zhang Zhixuan first used his good deeds to exchange 200,000 spiritual stones from the Qingxuan Sect, and then rushed to the Great Zhou Dynasty with Qingchan again.

This time their destination was Shenmu Canyon.

The Shenmu Sect could only be considered a small or medium-sized sect in the Great Zhou Dynasty, and there were also masters at the Nascent Soul stage within the sect.

The foundation of the Shenmu Sect is a sixth-grade high-grade spiritual tree. This spiritual tree can mature a batch of fairy fruits every hundred years. The fairy fruits can not only strengthen the vitality, but can also be used to make elixirs and be used as medicine.

Relying on this sacred tree, the monks of this sect are very good at growing elixirs and have good alchemy skills.

The market outside Shenmu Sect is the largest elixir exchange market in the Great Zhou Dynasty, and even sixth-level elixirs are sold every ten years.

This is already Zhang Zhixuan's second trip to Dazhou, and the two of them are familiar with each other.

While traveling and seeing the customs and customs of the Great Zhou Dynasty, they rushed to Shenmu Canyon.

Shenmu Sect is located in a grand canyon. Although it is a valley, its area is huge.

The canyon is six thousand miles long and several hundred miles wide. It is said that it was cut open by an ancient magician with a single sword.

Countless spiritual fields have been densely opened in the canyon. According to Zhang Zhixuan's estimation, they exceed at least one million acres.

Both sides of the canyon are towering into the clouds, and the cliffs are more than ten thousand feet high. Even without the use of formation restrictions, the Zifu period monks dare not enter the Gangyun and cannot fly across at all.

In order to prevent foreign enemies from invading, the monks of the Shenmu Sect arranged flight-restriction formations over both sides of the canyon, and the entire canyon was protected by defensive formations.

Except for the entrance passages at both ends of the canyon, low-level monks have no ability to enter the canyon at all.

This kind of environment that is easy to defend but difficult to attack is very suitable for monks to stick to it for a long time.

In the entire Shenmu Canyon, the number of monks exceeds one million.

Relying on these millions of monks, even if the ten major sects of the Great Zhou Dynasty went all out, it would be difficult to break through the Shenmu Sect's mountain-protecting formation.

Occupying this spiritual vein that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, the Shenmu Sect has been passed down for thirteen generations in the Great Zhou Dynasty. Each generation has a Nascent Soul master. The inheritance has lasted for tens of thousands of years. It is more powerful than several giant sects in the Great Zhou Dynasty. Still long.

There are thousands of towns outside the canyon, all of which are the territory of Shenmu Sect.

Relying on the surrounding population of hundreds of millions, the Shenmu Sect can continuously add new blood to the Shenmu Sect every year and bring enough low-level monks.

The millions of monks inside the Shenmu Canyon basically make a living by growing elixirs.

The city controlled by Shenmu Sect was built at the entrance of the canyon.

The entrance to the canyon is relatively narrow, only seventy or eighty miles wide.

At the entrance of the canyon, Shenmu Sect built a majestic monk city to block the entrance of the canyon.

There is a sixth-level formation in the city, and five Jindan monks have been stationed there for many years. In addition to a large number of low-level monks, even if two Nascent Soul monks join forces, it will be difficult to break through the protection of the formation.

This city is called Shengyuan City. The population in the city exceeds hundreds of thousands. There is not a single mortal in the city. The fifth-level high-grade spiritual veins have been cultivated in the city, and the spiritual energy is very abundant.

"The power of the sect is declining, and there are more than a dozen small and large cities within the sect. These cities and towns are far away from each other, and it is inconvenient to communicate with each other. It seems that we should learn from the Shenmu Sect, not spread investment, and try to develop one.

However, the conditions in both Qingyang Mountain and Lingjing Mountain are far inferior to those in Shenmu Canyon. The Lingshan mineral vein outside also needs people to guard it. Without external resources, even if you want to develop the mountain gate, the material resources are far from enough. "

Looking at this prosperous city of monks, Zhang Zhixuan had a hint of envy in his eyes.

Zhang Zhixuan's goal is high-level spiritual grass, so he will not hide his head or tail.

The fifth-level elixir is also a relatively precious resource in the Shenmu Sect, and it is absolutely impossible to sell it to people with ulterior motives.

Therefore, he and Qing Chan did not hide their cultivation and came to the city gate openly.

Seeing Zhang Zhixuan and the others coming slowly and unhurriedly, the foundation-building monk guarding the city gate immediately knew that the person coming was a very powerful master.

The man did not hesitate and immediately informed their leader.

In an instant, a spiritual light appeared at the gate of the city. When they saw Zhang Zhixuan and Zhang Zhixuan, the man's expression changed, and he bowed respectfully and said: "Greetings to the two seniors, they look a bit unfamiliar. It should be the first time they come to our Shenmu Canyon. I As the landowners here, if you two seniors need my help, just ask."

"Of course we came to Shenmu Canyon for the high-level elixir. However, we are from the Southern Wilderness Sect and do not understand the rules of your sect. If there is anything wrong, please tell me directly."

Although Zhang Zhixuan said this, the Zifu monks headed by Shenmu Sect still did not dare to neglect the two golden elixir masters.

There are hundreds of countries close to the Southern Wilderness, large and small. These Southern Wilderness small sects vary in strength. The weak ones are like the former Qingxuan Sect, which only has one master of the Golden Core stage. If they are not careful, they will be in danger of annihilation. Not solid.

Powerful ones such as the Danyang Sect of the Song Dynasty and the Xuansu Sect of the Wu Kingdom were not weaker than the Shenmu Sect.

Especially the Xuansu Sect of Wu State, which had three Yuanying-stage masters a few hundred years ago, whose strength was not weaker than the six sects of Qi State, and was also the overlord of the small country in the southern wilderness.

These cultivators of the small countries in the southern wilderness often act without scruples because their roots are not in the Great Zhou, and they should actually be more careful in dealing with them.

Although the position of guarding the city gate is small, the responsibility is heavy, and the selected cultivators are all experienced veterans.

Especially the Purple Mansion cultivator who is in the lead, his life span is about 400 years old. Although his cultivation is far inferior to Zhang Zhixuan, he has more experience than him.

This kind of cultivator has a very poisonous vision and a smooth personality. It is impossible for him to rely on others' power and easily make enemies with others.

In the Great Zhou Xiuxian world, the cities of cultivators are divided into three levels. The lowest level of the market is similar to Xihe Market, and almost no fees are required to enter the city.

The second-class city is like the Black Mountain Market, and the cost of entering the city is about one low-grade spirit stone.

The last type is the big city such as Shengyuan City and Huoshan City.

These cities for immortal cultivators vary in size, and one must apply for a city entry order to enter the city.

This city entry order is equivalent to an identity token, which contains a trace of cultivator's aura, which is convenient for the defense array to identify the identity.

If a cultivator who has not applied for a city entry order rashly enters Shengyuan City, he will be attacked by the defense array of Shengyuan City.

The city entry order is considered a low-level magic weapon, priced at 100 spirit stones. After applying for a city entry order, you do not need to pay a fee to enter Shengyuan City in the future.

Zhang Zhixuan applied for a city entry order several times when he came to Da Zhou last time.

Under the guidance of the purple mansion cultivator guarding the city, Zhang Zhixuan and his companions paid two medium-grade spirit stones, applied for a city entry order, and entered the interior of this Shengyuan City.

After entering the city, Zhang Zhixuan swept his spiritual sense and found that there were hundreds of streets crisscrossing the entire city, and various large and small shops were lined up, which looked quite impressive.

There were indeed a lot of cultivators on the streets, and occasionally some bargaining and noisy sounds could be heard, and the popularity was very full.
