This thick fog has a special force field that even his spiritual eye cannot see through.
After observing for a while, Chen Xuan stretched out his palm to touch the thick fog in front of him.
According to the records in Yunyan's travel notes, there is a layer of illusory mist outside Baiyunfang City to prevent ordinary people and mountain beasts from intruding into the city. If you want to enter the city, you must use your inner energy to touch it.
At that time, people in the city will notice the fluctuations in their internal energy through the phantom mist formation, and they will come out to guide him.
After passing the interrogation and registration, and confirming that there is no problem with the identity, an identity token will be issued. With the identity token, it will be much more convenient to enter and exit the city. After injecting inner energy, the fog will automatically disperse.
Waited for about ten minutes.
Chen Xuan saw the fog in front of him dissipate.
Two middle-aged men in blue robes slowly walked out of the mist.
"You are going to enter Fangshi."
A middle-aged man with a round face asked.
"yes!"
Chen Xuan nodded.
"Okay, next I will interrogate you and register your identity." The round-faced middle-aged man took out a compass and said: "Put your hand on it, fill your inner Qi, and answer whatever I ask you. Be sure to
Answer truthfully. If you lie, the compass will react. Of course, we will not ask too private questions. As long as you confirm your identity, you are clean and innocent, and you are not a demon, you can enter the city."
"no problem."
After hearing this, Chen Xuan raised his right hand and placed it on the compass in the hand of the round-faced middle-aged man, injecting inner energy.
"Name."
The round-faced middle-aged man asked.
"Chen Xuan."
Chen Xuan answered truthfully.
"Age, origin."
"Twenty years old, from Qingshui County, Yingchuan County."
"So young!"
Hearing this, the two of them had a look of surprise in their eyes.
Outside the casual cultivation world, those who have reached the inner Qi realm are basically those in their thirties or forties.
It is rare to have such a young inner spirit.
"Do you have a mentor?"
The round-faced middle-aged man continued to ask.
"I learned from Taoist Yunyan."
Chen Xuan replied.
He received the inheritance left by Taoist Yunyan. Although he got it from someone else, it is not wrong to say that he learned from Taoist Yunyan. He is not lying.
Therefore, there is nothing wrong with the compass in the hands of the round-faced middle-aged man.
"We found out that Taoist Yunyan is from Yanjiang County, Yingchuan County. He left Fang City fifteen years ago and has never come back."
Another middle-aged man with a long face held a booklet in his hand and found information about Taoist Yunyan.
"It turns out that I have a master."
The two nodded slightly.
Looking at it this way, it makes sense that Chen Xuan reached the inner Qi state at the age of nineteen.
Although Taoist Yunyan has not reached the level of Qi refining, he has been an apprentice in a medicine shop in the market, grown elixirs, and also worked as a talisman-making apprentice, and he can do simple alchemy and talisman making.
The secret medicine for cultivation in the inner Qi realm is difficult to find in the world, but it is not difficult to refine the secret medicine at the physical level.
The hardest thing to get is the Marrow Cleansing Pill, but Taoist Yunyan has been in Fangshi for most of his life. It is not difficult to get a few Marrow Cleansing Pills. It is not surprising to train a person with all his strength and reach the inner Qi realm at the age of twenty.
"There is no problem with identity."
The round-faced middle-aged man and the long-faced middle-aged man looked at each other and nodded.
"You can take your hands away."
The round-faced middle-aged man said.
"This is your identity token, take it."
After the long-faced middle-aged man finished logging in Chen Xuan's information, he took out a palm-sized bronze token from his arms, engraved Chen Xuan's name on the surface, and handed it to Chen Xuan.
Chen Xuan raised his hand on the compass and took the bronze token handed over by the long-faced middle-aged man.
"The identity token can only be used by you alone. Infuse inner energy into the token, and the mist of the phantom mist array will naturally dissipate. If there is a different kind of inner energy poured into it, it will trigger the rune restriction in the token, and automatically
Blow it up." The long-faced middle-aged man said in a calm tone: "If you lose your identity token, it will cost you one jade spirit coin to replace it."
"Thanks for reminding me, you two are tired."
With that said, Chen Xuan handed over two silver notes worth one hundred taels.
Although Yuling money is used in the market, it does not mean that banknotes are useless.
In order to save jade spirit money, some casual cultivators usually live frugally and eat ordinary grains and meat instead of expensive spirit rice, so banknotes are still in circulation in the city.
However, banknotes can only buy ordinary supplies. Things like entry-level spiritual talismans, spiritual rice, elixirs, elixirs, and elementary spiritual talismans can only be purchased with jade spirit money.
"Well, you are a disciple of Taoist Yunyan. I think you have a certain foundation in pharmacology and talisman making. Do you want to farm, or go to a talisman making shop to make talismans? Although you can get more jade spirit money every year by mining,
It’s too hard and not suitable for you.”
It seemed that the five hundred taels of silver had had an effect. The tone of the two people responsible for the reception had obviously changed. They were not as businesslike as before, with a flat tone and no emotion at all.
"Let's go, I'll take you into Fangshi."
The round-faced middle-aged man put away his compass and led the way.
"I am new here, and I don't understand many things. I still need more guidance from the two seniors." Chen Xuandao: "Master just told me the basic information about Fangshi, and didn't tell me too much."
"I can understand Taoist Yunyan." The long-faced middle-aged man said: "We are casual cultivators who work for several major cultivating families in Fang City. How can we tell our disciples? Wouldn't it be detrimental to our own status?"
The image in the disciple's mind can only be understood by oneself after arriving at Fangshi."
“I don’t know which one is better, farming or making talismans?”
Chen Xuan asked.
"When it comes to income, these two are actually about the same." The round-faced middle-aged man sighed: "These immortal cultivating families are very concerned about wages, and there is no way that we can take advantage of them.
Farming is relatively free. Newcomers who don’t have jade spirit money can rent spiritual fields first. After the spiritual rice is harvested, they only need to hand over enough spiritual rice to pay the rent for renting the spiritual fields. If the spiritual rice is not enough to pay, then they can only go to the spiritual field.
After working hard, the debts owed will be paid off gradually, and interest will also be calculated.
The longest it took for a casual cultivator to pay off all his debts was twenty years.
When it comes to making talismans, there are many primary talisman makers in the city, and the competition is too fierce. If you set up a stall in the trading area, you won't be able to sell many talismans every day. If you want to have a stable income, you have to join a talisman-making shop and make talismans every day.
Internal Qi is depleted and very tired.
Although there are other jobs in Fang City, such as weapon refining, formation maintenance, etc., if you don't have a foundation, you can only start as an apprentice. It only provides food and accommodation, no wages, and the work is more tiring. Don't think of becoming a master within three to five years.
.”
"..."
After listening to the words of the round-faced middle-aged man, Chen Xuan seriously suspected that the Xiuxian family opened the market just to get cheap labor and let all the casual cultivators in Yuanzhou work for them.
