Youzhou has ninety-nine and eighty-one cities, and "Tianshui" is one of the largest cities in the south. It is located on a transportation thoroughfare, has prosperous commerce, and has a large population.
Three days later, Lin Xuan arrived at the outskirts of Tianshui City. He meditated on the information about the city and nodded with satisfaction. Building a foundation here was an excellent choice.
Generally, monks will choose inaccessible places for retreat, because they are most afraid of being disturbed when practicing exercises. Some monks, in order to keep quiet, even open caves in the Yinhun Canyon and the Hundred Thousand Mountains, which are the most dangerous places.
, as a result, no one bothered me, but it became a meal for monsters.
The last time he tempered the best elixir, Lin Xuan also chose a deserted place. It was obviously very hidden, but in the end an uninvited guest came to the door. Although there was no danger, it really made Lin Xuan break out in a cold sweat.
Fortunately, it was just alchemy. Attacking the foundation this time was bound to be more dangerous. After careful consideration, Lin Xuan finally thought of a foolproof strategy.
Living in seclusion in the city, according to normal thinking and logic, monks who retreat in seclusion are in poor and remote areas, so why not do the opposite and choose a prosperous big city.
There are only a handful of cultivators who pursue the way of heaven and like to stay in the mortal world. In other words, the chance of encountering danger when building a foundation there is actually smaller.
It was still early in the day, so Lin Xuan didn't panic and walked slowly towards Tianshui.
The solid city walls are all made of boulders weighing hundreds of kilograms, there is a wide moat, and a group of majestic soldiers stand at the city gate.
After entering Tianshui, Lin Xuan was filled with emotions when he looked at the rows of buildings and the bustling crowds of people around him. He had not walked around the mortal world for a long time since he entered the path of cultivation.
Pursuing immortality does not mean being ruthless. It is just a means to pursue immortality, so after seeing a "Xiangjifu" restaurant not far away, Lin Xuan went up without hesitation.
After ordering a table full of delicacies, Lin Xuan devoured his meal. After he was full, he called the waiter over and said, "Waiter, are there any good houses for sale in Tianshui City?"
"Sir, you want to buy real estate. Yes. Yes. The Li family in Nancheng, Zhang Yuanwai in the eastern suburbs..."
Lin Xuan waved his hand: "I want to find a quiet place, preferably without anyone disturbing me all year round."
"No one bothers me all year round." The waiter pondered for a moment: "Yes, there is, but..."
"Why are you hesitating? As long as you meet my requirements, the price is not a problem." Lin Xuan said while handing him a piece of gold.
The waiter's eyes suddenly shone. He had never encountered such a generous guest before, and his expression became even more respectful: "Thank you, guest officer, for the reward. There is indeed a nice manor about ten miles north of Tianshui City. It covers an area of several acres.
, pavilions, gardens, small lakes, everything you need. It was originally the real estate of the richest man in the city, Mr. Chen, and the manor is very quiet, no one will disturb you when you are at leisure. It meets your requirements, but..."
"What's wrong?" Lin Xuan frowned: "Then Master Chen is unwilling to sell?"
"No, Mr. Chen is eager to take action as soon as possible. It's just that this manor is a bit unclean. The people living there either get seriously ill for no reason or have all kinds of weird hallucinations. Some people say it is haunted."
Half an hour later, Lin Xuan arrived at the northern suburbs of Tianshui City. In front of him, there was an exquisite and gorgeous manor. It should be the ghost house that the waiter said. After taking a look at the surrounding environment, Lin Xuan showed a satisfied expression on his face.
.Not only is it quiet, but there is also a small spiritual vein, which is the perfect place for monks to practice.
As for the so-called haunting, Lin Xuan didn't take it seriously at all. Although the waiter said that he had invited many heavenly masters to slay demons, but they all failed.
"Heavenly Master?" There was a trace of ridicule at the corner of Lin Xuan's mouth. In the eyes of real monks like them, they were just a group of guys who were pretending to be gods.
Lin Xuan walked to the door of the manor, knocked on the door, and waited for a while before finally an old man with a hunchback and white hair and beard came out.
"you……"
"The old man invited me, I'm here to buy a house and land."
"You want to buy a manor?" The old man's face was full of joy: "One hundred taels of silver.
It was only a hundred taels. Lin Xuan was stunned for a moment, but he soon felt relieved. The real value of this manor was of course much more, but who made it a ghost house, so it could only be sold at a low price.
After paying the silver and handing over the house deed, after the old man left, Lin Xuan began to look at his new home, where he would lay the foundation for a period of time in the future.
Different from upgrading the level of skills, from agility to foundation building is a leap in the realm of cultivation. Once successful, not only will the spiritual power in the body undergo a qualitative change, but the body will also be cleansed by the I Ching, and the life span will be doubled.
Of course, he still had some small things to do before that. Lin Xuan closed his eyes and released his consciousness. After a moment, he raised his head with a playful smile on his lips.
Lin Xuan came to the back garden, where there was an inconspicuous small building. The door was unlocked and opened with a slight push.
The light in the small building was very dark. It was obviously daytime, but it gave people an eerie feeling, and the temperature seemed to have dropped a lot in an instant.
"Woo!"
In the corner, the sound of a woman crying was heard, and the furniture in the room shook inexplicably.
Lin Xuan frowned. He had no interest in messing around with a brat, and he didn't say much. The spiritual power in his body was running. With a flick of his right hand, a white light shot out from his sleeve and turned into a huge palm in mid-air.
Like the corner of a room.
The sound of ghosts crying suddenly came, replaced by panicked screams, and a shadow emerged in mid-air, darting in the direction of the door.
"Want to run?"
Lin Xuan's consciousness moved, and the transformed palm turned into a shining rope, binding the phantom.
"Master Immortal, have mercy on me, Master Immortal, have mercy on me!"
Lin Xuan looked at the ghost in front of him. She was a girl of sixteen or seven years old. She was pretty and pretty. Lin Xuan looked at her for a few times and then pondered.
Don't get me wrong, Lin Xuan didn't fall in love with the beauty of this female ghost, but discovered that this girl actually had a pure yin body.
The so-called pure yin body is a term used in the world of cultivation. With such a body, a yin soul can become a ghost cultivator.
Ghost cultivators are different from ordinary ghosts. The ghosts have resentment in their hearts and are unwilling to reincarnate in the underworld and re-enter reincarnation. Although their strength can increase as time goes by, they will lose their intelligence and become like wild beasts.
Ghost cultivators, on the other hand, are the same as immortal cultivators and demon cultivators. Not only will they not lose their spiritual intelligence, but they can also transform into solid forms after cultivating deeply.
Those who cultivate the truth can become immortals, those who cultivate demons can become demon lords, and ghost cultivators can also become ghost immortals after successfully overcoming tribulations.
In other words, a Yin soul possessing a pure Yin body is equivalent to a living person possessing spiritual roots, and it is even rarer. Usually, only one lucky person will appear among hundreds of thousands of Yin souls.
As for a lucky ghost, the chance of becoming a ghost cultivator is less than 1 in 10. Even if you have talent, you still need someone to introduce you to it.
Lin Yue'er secretly looked at the young man in front of her, and saw him staring at her silently, becoming more and more afraid. She just liked this manor and didn't want to be disturbed, and she didn't do anything bad.
Although she became a ghost not long ago, she accidentally heard the legend of immortal cultivators. They were god-like existences that a brat like herself could never compete with.
I heard that monks will sacrifice ghosts to refine magic weapons...
"What's your name?" Just when the little ghost thought more and more and became more and more frightened and frightened himself, Lin Xuan spoke.
"Lin Yue'er."
Lin Xuan was startled that he actually had the same surname as him. He took another careful look at the little ghost to make sure that he had not admitted his mistake, and then slowly spoke: "Do you want me to spare you?"
"Yes, thank you, I really haven't done anything bad."
"Yes, but you must recognize me as your Lord."
"Recognize the master?"
"Yes, as long as you accept me as your master, I will not only spare your life, but also teach you how to practice the ghost way, condense your body in the future, and become an immortal."
Lin Xuan's voice was full of temptation. Of course, he didn't suddenly become soft-hearted or have any kind thoughts, but he was thinking about himself.
For immortal cultivators, being able to meet a ghost with a pure yin body can be said to be a great blessing.
As we all know, a monk's strength is composed of several parts, including his own cultivation, elixirs, crystals, and magic weapons.
However, this is just a normal situation. The path of cultivation covers everything, including alchemy, drawing talismans, making weapons, and formations. In addition, there are also techniques to repel insects and beasts.
Raising a large group of powerful strange insects or signing several powerful monsters as pets are shortcuts for monks to improve their own strength.
However, whether it is raising insects or controlling monsters, it is extremely difficult. After such hard work, it is better to practice hard and improve one's own cultivation.
But it's different when you meet a ghost with a pure yin body. You sign a master-servant contract with him, and then let the ghost practice on his own. You don't need to spend a single bit of energy on your own, you can get a servant and thug, and the kind that keeps increasing in strength.
.
It can even be said that ghosts with pure yin bodies can double the strength of monks.
Everyone knows the benefits of this, but it is too difficult to find a ghost with a pure yin body. Even cultivators in the elixir condensation stage spend hundreds of years searching in places with strong yin energy, but in the end they find nothing. All we can say is
