Qingyang was about to take Yu Mengmiao to Yuling City, but Liang Zhongtian had been playing in Liangzhou City for almost half a month and was about to go back to Yuling City. So the two talked for a while and saw that it was already getting late, so
The three of them headed towards Yuling City together.
The journey for the first three days was relatively easy. You could see villages and the fields they had cultivated all around. On the fourth day, the number of people on the road gradually became sparse and the road suddenly became difficult. They gradually entered the mountainous area.
zone.
The area near Liangzhou City is said to be the center of the entire Liangzhou. I don’t know where so many mountains come from. Moreover, the mountains here are steep, the roads are difficult to travel, and there are few people there. Even medicinal collectors and hunters rarely come here. But it is only compared to ordinary people.
Humanly speaking, masters like Liang Zhongtian and Qingyang do not have a great influence. Only Yu Mengmiao is too young and needs two people to take turns carrying it.
The mountains here are not only steep, but there are also many beasts and birds. In addition, the surrounding fog is thick, which acts like a natural barrier, isolating most ordinary people from the outside. Even ordinary people from the outside world occasionally intrude.
, will also take the initiative to exit because they can't distinguish the direction clearly, or there are too many beasts.
As the three of them gradually deepened, Qingyang gradually felt the difference between this mountain range and that of Xiping Mansion. Although the mountains here may not be as large as those there, their ability to gather spiritual energy is much greater, so
The aura of the entire mountain range is stronger than that over there. Yuling City was built in a place like this, and the amount of aura is probably one of the main reasons.
This is the case all around the mountain range. It will definitely be better in Yuling City. If you practice here for a day, you will be more efficient than practicing in other places. Who wouldn't want to come here? I guess it means lame Taoist priests and beggars.
Those low-level casual cultivators who feel that there is no hope of breakthrough in this life, or who cannot stay here any longer, will go to the secular world to live their lives.
Perhaps because the Kuxian Conference was about to begin, they would occasionally meet other fellow cultivators, but in such desolate mountains and ridges, they were more wary of each other, and no one would take the initiative to say hello, even if they met head-on.
Once you get there, you will leave in a hurry.
The world of cultivating immortals is not as peaceful as the outside world thinks, and murders and treasure grabbing are also very common, especially in remote and inaccessible places. If one party is confident enough, there may be monks who want to do it temporarily.
Fortunately, this time Liang Zhongtian, a monk at the ninth level of the Pulse Opening Realm, was with Qingyang, otherwise he might have encountered some danger.
However, there are still a few people who dare to do this kind of thing. Most monks still abide by the rules, because sometimes there are monks who think they are righteous and meddle in their own business, and the big sects of cultivating immortals will occasionally clean up such monks.
.
If you are seen doing this kind of thing and spread it, your reputation will be ruined. Therefore, this kind of thing is relatively secretive. Generally, you can only do it if you have a lot of interest to attract it and you are sure enough to silence it. Of course.
, those whose reputations are extremely bad, and those who are broken and smashed, it doesn't matter.
With Liang Chongtian, a person who was familiar with the situation, leading the way, the journey became much smoother. The originally planned journey of seven or eight days reached their destination on the morning of the seventh day.
Standing on the top of a hill, Liang Zhongtian pointed to a large city in the valley in front of him and said: "That is Yuling City. It is the largest settlement of casual cultivators in Liangzhou. The entire city has a population of hundreds of thousands."
In front of it is a rectangular valley, more than ten miles wide and more than twenty miles long. Yuling City is built according to the terrain, covering an area of tens of thousands of acres, and the city is nearly ten feet high. It is tall and majestic. Compared with them
The city of Liangzhou that I visited a few days ago was even more majestic.
The terrain in front of Yuling City is slightly lower, and the terrain in the back is slightly higher. As the terrain undulates, there are countless pavilions and pavilions built on top of each other in a well-proportioned manner. Because the distance is too far, the internal situation of Yuling City cannot be seen very well.
It's true, but just this momentum makes people fascinated.
With a population of more than 100,000, that is more than the population of Xiping Fucheng where Qingyang lives, and it is not far behind the more prosperous Kaiyuan Fucheng. I never expected that there is such a big city in this deep mountain.
, the manpower spent in construction can be imagined.
Qingyang said with emotion: "In the secular world, many people will never see the legendary immortal master in their lifetime. Meeting a monk is like looking for a needle in a haystack. There are so many people living here. Sure enough, if you are not on that level, the world you see is...
no the same."
Liang Chongtian said: "I don't know that this Yuling City has been built for thousands of years. Over time, it is normal for so many people to gather. However, not all people living in Yuling City are monks. Some of them
Nearly sixty-seven percent of them are just ordinary people."
No need for Liang Zhongtian to explain this, Qingyang can figure it out. When casual cultivators come to Yuling City, they don't necessarily come alone. Some may also bring followers, family members and so on. These people don't want to leave, so they just
I can only be an ordinary person here. Qingyang also brought Yu Mengmiao with him when he came. If Yu Mengmiao didn't have spiritual roots, wouldn't he be just like the ordinary people in Yuling City?
Another reason is that for the descendants of monks, generally the higher the cultivation level, the more difficult it is to produce offspring. The offspring have a greater chance of having spiritual roots and have higher relative qualifications. On the contrary, the lower the cultivation level, the more difficult it is to produce offspring.
The easier it is for future generations, the smaller the chance of having spiritual roots. Even if you have spiritual roots, your qualifications will definitely be relatively poor.
The people living in Yuling City are all casual cultivators, who are at the bottom of the entire world of immortality. Their descendants are of course the most likely to be ordinary people. These descendants of monks grew up here and are used to the life here. Of course, they don’t want to
Leave Yuling City and go to live in a strange world.
Moreover, monks also need a lot of services. Many low-level casual cultivators cannot afford to hire the same monks to work for them, so it is normal to hire a few ordinary people. Usually, just a little thing exposed between the fingers is enough for these ordinary people to live.
of.
Then Liang Chongtian said again: "There are hundreds of thousands of people in the entire Yuling City. After deducting the ordinary people who cannot practice, there are still as many as 40,000 to 50,000 monks left. This number is much larger than that of the general sects of cultivating immortals."
.However, the cultivation level of casual cultivators in Yuling City is generally relatively low. Nearly 90% of them are low-level cultivators in the Pulse Opening Stage. Only about 10% are in the Qi Refining Stage. They are even rarer in the Foundation Establishment Stage. Compared with those great cultivators.
Pie can’t be compared.”
This is normal. Those who can cultivate to a higher level are generally people with relatively good qualifications. Such people will definitely join the cultivating sect with more abundant cultivation resources, instead of slowly struggling in this Yuling City.
