Chapter 213 Yandang Mountains

"Brother Zhan answered. She asked how long can we last?" Tong Xi happily hugged Liu Yandan and kept jumping.

Liu Yandan felt uncomfortable being held by her. She secretly thought that Sister Tong was quite small despite her small size, so he had to quickly hold her down and said:

"Then it must be said that we can't hold on any longer. We are in such a miserable state now. We haven't taken a few pills in more than a year, and our training progress is like a tortoise crawling. Let him come back quickly."

Tong Xi also smiled and agreed. He was holding Yuanpan and was about to write a reply when he was stopped by Wang Yan:

"I think it's better to say that it can last for eight months. Zhan Nianchuan knows that our situation is difficult and still asks this, which means that he must have encountered a situation that is temporarily difficult to escape. We have been in difficulty for so long, so we can persist for a few more months. ”

"Senior Sister Wang is more thoughtful. Let's just say it can last for nine months." Liu Yandan immediately agreed with Wang Yan's view. She knew that Zhan Nianchuan would never watch her and Tong Xi suffer. Maybe he would Coming back early might affect Zhan Nianchuan's own plan, so he decided to add another month on his own initiative.

"Okay, let me say nine months." Tong Xi made a sad face and started writing on the disk with her slender and delicate fingers.

...

The Yandang Mountains are located in the northwest of Qingzhou. The mountains are majestic and continuous. The highest point is tens of thousands of feet. The main vein stretches hundreds of thousands of miles from east to west. The north and south branches crisscross each other like a giant centipede lying down. The end of the main vein is Chuzhou of the Jin Dynasty. .

The entire mountain range is high and densely forested, with all kinds of rare birds and animals, and rich in various ores. There are also several spiritual veins high in the mountains, which can be said to be an excellent holy land for cultivation.

However, there is no sect in the entire mountain range, only caves built one after another according to the direction of the spiritual veins.

There is only one reason for this situation, that is, the Yandang Mountains are controlled by the Loose Cultivator Alliance.

Although entering the sect is the choice of most monks, there are some monks who do not want to be fettered by the sect, prefer a free and unfettered life, and are willing to become a helpless and free casual cultivator.

How many monks are there in the world without a sect? I'm afraid no one can calculate it, but the number must be extremely large. These people practice extremely hard, lack famous teachers, and lack resources. They support each other in desperation, and gradually get together to exchange cultivation experiences and exchange various materials and resources, and begin to give birth to a A gathering place for casual cultivators.

After these originally scattered casual cultivators clashed with the sects, their cohesion further strengthened, and they began to form looser organizations in the gathering places of casual cultivators, and eventually formed an alliance of casual cultivators.

In the current Jin Dynasty, every state and every county has an alliance of casual cultivators. Their strength is no worse than that of the major sects. Even the super sects in each state do not dare to underestimate them.

The Yandang Mountains are occupied by the Qingzhou Loose Cultivator Alliance.

This day.

At the east gate of Yandang City, the largest city in the Yandang Mountains, a young man with an ordinary appearance but his body covered with dust walked up.

The young man looked at the tall but extremely simple city gate and the crowds of people constantly passing by. He was surprised to find that nine out of ten of these people were practitioners.

They have different costumes and different accents. Everyone is in a hurry, and there is no hustle and bustle of the secular market at all.

There are also various kinds of escaping lights flying across the sky from time to time. These are monks above the Foundation Establishment level and are not affected by the forbidden air formation in the city. The mortals and monks in the city were not surprised and had long been accustomed to it.

After observing for a moment, Zhan Nianchuan found that everyone had a small sign that looked like wood but not wood, with the word "San" carved on it. Knowing that this was probably a voucher for entering Yandang City, he grabbed a Ningqi sign. The monk on the third floor smiled and handed over a spiritual stone that was only one-tenth of its original size.

"Brother, this is my first time coming to Yandang City. What are the rules for entering the city?"

This shirtless man with thick eyebrows and big eyes was suddenly pulled by Zhan Nianchuan. He was furious at first and was about to curse as soon as he raised his thick eyebrows. Then he was overjoyed when he saw the incomplete spiritual stone handed over by Zhan Nianchuan. He put the spirit stone in his arms, glanced at the dusty Zhan Nianchuan, and said with a smile:

"We casual cultivators are not so particular. You can register with the old guy over there and pay a spiritual stone to come and go as you like. But I remind you that this city is not peaceful. The streets are very prosperous. There is only one in other places. Words, chaos! There is only one iron law in the whole city, don’t take action against mortals, that’s all, let’s go.”

After the man finished speaking, he left. Zhan Nianchuan pondered for a moment and walked towards an old man who was dozing off by the city gate.

"Brother, I want to register into the city."

The old man looked at Zhan Nianchuan sleepily, slowly took out a small sign, and spread his chicken claw-like right hand towards Zhan Nianchuan.

After receiving a spiritual stone from Zhan Nianchuan, the old man threw the small card to him and said in a hoarse voice:

"You can come and go as you like within a year, and no one is allowed to attack anyone in the city."

Zhan Nianchuan nodded respectfully. He planned to ask about some other information, but found that the old man had begun to doze off again. In desperation, he had to leave.

After entering the city gate, you will see streets several feet wide. At a glance, they seem to be no different from ordinary streets. There are square shops of different sizes on both sides. Signs and flags are hung above the shops. Written in large characters are various names such as Li's Pill Shop, Chen Ji's Weapon Refining Shop, Dangyan Pawn Shop, Yandang Grocery Shop, etc.

Zhan Nianchuan randomly chose a street and started to stroll around. He followed the crowd into these shops and bought a few items.

In general, the items here are more diverse and the prices are much cheaper, but the items are not of high value. Zhan Nianchuan thought that this was mostly because the location was relatively remote, and these shops looked relatively small and the goods were relatively simple, so he began to consciously walk slowly towards the center of the city.

This Yandang City is bigger than Zhan Nianchuan imagined.

With Zhan Nianchuan's pace, although he deliberately slowed down his pace, he still hadn't reached the center of the city after walking for three hours, which made him feel shocked.

It's at least hundreds of miles along the way. By this calculation, isn't this Yandang City a thousand miles in radius?

However, the surrounding shops have changed significantly, becoming larger and more imposing, and the waiters and maids in the shops have higher cultivation levels, basically all of them are above the seventh level of Qi Condensation, and most of the people who walk in and out of these shops are also cultivators at the ninth level of Qi Condensation or the Foundation Establishment Realm.

Seeing this scene, Zhan Nianchuan's eyes flashed, and he immediately gave up the idea of ​​continuing to move towards the city center.
