Chapter 177
Zhengdao City is very simple, with only two avenues, the North-South Avenue and the East-West Avenue.
As for the meantime, there are only some well-established paths.
There are no houses in many places, just some shacks.
At first glance, I thought it was a shack area outside Baochuanfang City dedicated to Qi Refining monks.
It is hard to imagine that the Jindan monks who are all-powerful on their respective planets can suffer such grievances.
But if you think about it carefully, the weakest state when you come to the battlefield outside the territory is the golden elixir stage.
It seems that it is not surprising.
Duan Que pointed to a mountain peak in front of him and said with a smile, "Fellow Daoist Huikong, this is Zhengdao Mountain. The three seniors all live in the fourth-level cave abode on the highest level."
"From bottom to top, they are the first-order cave mansion, the second-order cave mansion and the third-order cave mansion."
"The higher you go, the more spiritual energy you get!"
"These caves correspond to the early stage of Jindan, the middle stage of Jindan, and the late stage of Jindan respectively."
"A first-level cave requires one hundred and twenty small spiritual stones or one medium spiritual stone each year to rent."
"The price of a second-level cave will be doubled."
"The third-level cave abode has to be doubled on the basis of the second-level cave abode!"
Henry Chu chanted the Buddha's name again, "I didn't expect that this poor monk would be treated like this when he came to Zhengdao City for the first time."
"Dragon Buddha, these three seniors are really first-class good people!"
Duan Que said with emotion, "My Taoist companion and I only live in a second-level cave, and we have never felt the aura of a third-level cave..."
He looked at Henry Chu with quite envious eyes.
Soon, Duan Que finished everything for Henry Chu.
"The three seniors are all in retreat now. The heads of the three major families are now taking turns as city masters to take care of the city's affairs."
"You have traveled thousands of miles to come to Zhengdao City. You must be tired. Please rest first."
"In a few days, when I, the head of the Duan family, have some free time, Duan will come to visit again and ask you to come with us to meet the head of the three major families in Zhengdao City."
"I can assure you that with your strength and merit, as long as you nod your head, you can immediately become a worshiper of my Duan family!"
"You must know that my Duan family is the strongest of the three major families. It is the real Yuanying family. The other two are just fake infant families."
"If fellow Taoist joins my Duan family, not only will it be much easier to do things in Zhengdao City, but even if you go to Haoran City, Yuhua City and other cities, you will be treated with courtesy."
Before leaving, Shi Xiu respectfully presented a sound transmission jade, "Fellow Taoist Huikong, this is my sound transmission jade. If you have any needs, just tell me!"
Henry Chu smiled and said, "Thank you so much, Fellow Daoist Duan."
Boom.
The stone door of the cave was closed heavily.
Chu Xuan chanted the Buddha's name slightly, "This cave is not bad, but it suits the needs of the poor monk."
"Your Majesty the Dragon Buddha, I would like to thank the three seniors for their gifts."
As he spoke, he took out several formations from his storage bag.
In the blink of an eye, the cave was properly decorated.
Naturally, this third-level cave has already been equipped with many formations such as spirit gathering and sound insulation.
But Chu Xuan couldn’t trust anyone else.
You have to arrange it yourself to make it more secure.
After all, who knows if Zhengdao City will have a backdoor in the cave.
"Much more comfortable."
"Huikong, Huikong, you won't be angry if I use your identity, right?"
Chu Xuan casually summoned the evil soul rope, and the evil soul Huikong appeared immediately, guarding respectfully in front of him.
Listening to Henry Chu's words, it scratched its head in confusion.
What Huikong? My name is Huikong?
I can't get there!
Henry Chu thought deeply about Duan Que's enthusiasm and enthusiasm just now.
"Although I know that merit is very important in battlefields outside the territory, I really didn't expect that merit can be so useful!"
"I just showed off a golden wheel of merit and received such warm hospitality."
"If I manifest the three-level golden wheel of merit..."
"That shouldn't be the target of public criticism! That's not okay."
Henry Chu shook his head repeatedly.
Hiding one's clumsiness is still necessary.
The three-level golden wheel of merit is a blessing from heaven that can only be obtained by saving the lives of hundreds of millions of people.
Not to mention that he is a small golden elixir cultivator, but he may not even be able to obtain the power of transformation into gods and the power of leaving the body.
If he displays the three-level golden wheel of merit, he will probably be captured by the powerful and studied day and night!
As for why foreign battlefields value merit so much, the jade slip of divine knowledge provided by Wan Wuying is unclear.
Let’s just say that those sudden spatial cracks are a terrible and fatal danger to many monks.
But if you have merit, the probability of space cracks around you will decrease.
If there are many monks with merit in a city, the probability of space cracks appearing around the city will also be reduced.
This is the reason why Zhengdao City directly expelled the demon cultivators.
If a demonic cultivator full of evil comes and directly disrupts the merits of Zhengdao City, causing frequent natural and man-made disasters, it will be over.
In addition, merit seems to have other wonderful uses.
But those are not the categories that Wan Wuying can find out through classics.
"Duan Que is so attentive, obviously he wants to recruit me on behalf of the Duan family."
"This is normal. If a person like me with meritorious deeds joins any family in Zhengdao City, I should be able to bring them a lot of blessings."
"It's not impossible to join the Duan family. To me, the three families are the same, there's not much difference."
"I have such merits, neither high nor low. There should be few people who would target me after being full. I just take this opportunity to collect materials for refining magic weapons."
Chu Xuan thought about it and decided to refine a sky-covering umbrella.
The sky-covering umbrella, similar to the Ten Thousand Souls Banner, is also a magic weapon for absorbing living souls and raising evil spirits.
However, it can accommodate more wronged souls and evil spirits.
It is not a problem to easily exceed hundreds of millions.
The sky-covering umbrella is a magic weapon of the magic way that is widely spread. The refining method can be easily found by looking for it.
As for Chu Xuan, a big devil of the old Wuji Sect’s Zhengheiqi, he naturally knows the refining method well.
To refine the sky-covering umbrella, only two things are needed.
First, the membrane of a Jindan-stage monster.
Second, the ghost bamboo.
The membrane of a Jindan-stage monster is naturally the thicker and bigger the better.
As for the ghost bamboo, which is the umbrella rib and umbrella handle of the sky-covering umbrella, there are many requirements.
The ghost bamboo is only as thick as a thumb and as long as a thumb.
It must absorb ghosts to grow.
If it can absorb thousands of ghosts, it can become a three-inch ghost bamboo.
If it can absorb tens of thousands of ghosts, it can become a six-inch Yinhun bamboo.
If it can absorb 100,000 ghosts, it can become a nine-inch Yinhun bamboo.
Of course, if it continues to absorb ghosts, or more powerful ghost generals and ghost commanders, the Yinhun bamboo can continue to grow.
But the cost-effectiveness of using that kind of Yinhun bamboo to refine the sky-covering umbrella is not high.
For Chu Xuan, nine-inch Yinhun bamboo is enough.
"The skin membrane of the Jindan stage monster... As long as the news is released, there will naturally be people willing to search for it for me, and it doesn't take time at all."
"As for Yinhun bamboo..."
