Chapter 275 Money Should Be Spent Wisely

Qudan City.

The largest city at the foot of Danshanzong Mountain.

Qudan is a seventh-level elixir.

Except for the three major cities in the Dan Territory, the other cities are named after pills.

After Chu Ning arrived in Qudan City, he did not rush to the Dan Pagoda, but began to wander around Qudan City.

It has been more than 400 years since he came to Dan Territory, and he has yet to take a good tour of the market.

When I went to Dan City, I was going to participate in the newcomer competition. Not to mention going to Fangshi, I didn't even know where Fangshi was.

"Yang Family Alchemy Pavilion, Li's Medicine House..."

Entering Qudan City's Fangshi, the first thing Chu Ning saw was the streets full of Dan pavilions and pharmacies.

In the Alchemy Domain, elixirs are a specialty, and Chu Ning can understand that.

In the past life, China was not a big country of medicines. The streets were full of pharmacies. There was a pharmacy every 100 meters. They would give away eggs every time when you spent 75 cents or more. You could really buy medicine freely.

Soon, Chu Ning saw the sect’s medicine shop.

"Danshan Zong Pharmacy Store!"

Compared with the pharmacies I saw before, the sect's pharmacy is a higher level in terms of store size, and there are many monks coming in and out, but most of them are foundation-building and pill-forming monks. As for the Nascent Soul monks, they are Not one was seen.

In the Dan Realm, although Nascent Soul cultivators cannot be called strong, they are not seen everywhere. They are all high-level leaders of secondary forces.

After a while, Chu Ning walked into Wanzhen Pavilion, which was a shop selling formation-related items.

When Chu Ning stepped into the door, a cyan light lit up on the counter inside the door. The waiter who was standing boredly at the counter saw the light, his pupils shrank, and he hurriedly came over.

"Senior, do you want to buy a formation?"

The waiter's actions and the cyan light could not escape Chu Ning's eyes. As a formation master, Chu Ning understood what was going on.

When he stepped into the threshold of the Ten Thousand Formation Pavilion, he felt a wave of energy sweeping across his body. This was the energy of the formation.

Wanzhen Pavilion has set up a formation at the entrance. As for its function, it not only protects the entire store, but also scans the realm of those who enter.

The waiter in the shop was so excited because he knew that he was a powerful Nascent Soul.

"Well, what formations do you have here?"

"Senior, this is the formation currently available in our store. If senior has special needs, he can customize it by telling his needs."

The rules are similar to those of those who sold formations when I was in Xiyue Sect.

Chu Ning took the jade slip handed over by the waiter and put his consciousness into it. He took it back after a while, with a thoughtful look on his face.

This Ten Thousand Formation Pavilion lives up to its name. There are more than 3,000 formations in this jade slip alone, but low-level formations account for the majority. There are only a hundred or so fourth-level formations. As for the fifth-level formations, there are only a hundred. There are thirty types, and there are only three higher-level sixth-level formations.

Seeing these formations, Chu Ning changed his mind.

His original idea was to buy some formation materials and then arrange the formations himself, but after seeing the prices behind these formations, he decided to buy them directly.

The purpose of buying these formations is not to protect Nian Tangshan. The level of these formations is too low. The purpose of buying these formations is to use them as food for the Taixu Po Forbidden Ant.

After hundreds of years, Taixu Breaking Forbidden Ants can now break through third-level formations in three breaths, but fourth-level formations require one stick of incense.

For fourth-level formations, the lowest requires only twenty spiritual crystals, and the highest requires one hundred spiritual crystals. This is because they are both fourth-level formations, and the prices are different depending on their functions.

But for Chu Ning, there is not much difference below a hundred spiritual crystals.

He has no shortage of spiritual crystals.

In the rookie competition, he earned more than 80,000 spiritual crystals, but he has not spent much of these spiritual crystals until now.

Half an hour later, Chu Ning was very satisfied and walked out of the gate of Wanzhen Pavilion under Xiao'er's attentive greeting.

He spent a total of 3,200 spiritual crystals to purchase dozens of fourth-level formations, six fifth-level formations, and one sixth-level formation. In addition, he also bought a lot of weapon refining materials.

The three thousand and two were only spent at a fraction, and he still had 80,000 spiritual crystals on him.

"Sure enough, when you have money, you spend money lavishly."

Recalling the time when he sold his life for a few spiritual stones, Chu Ning felt a little emotional. At the same time, he also reflected on himself. If he had not forgotten his original intention, he could not forget the hard days he had lived now that he had some money.

Be frugal and spend every penny wisely.

After reflecting, Chu Ning turned around and walked into the Yuxian Building next door.

I haven't listened to music for a long time, and I don't know what Danyu's music style is like. It's time to experience the customs and customs of Danyu.

Upon hearing this, Chu Ning realized that he had underestimated Danyu.

Danyu female cultivator, oh no, Danyu has a rich variety of music styles, and each song represents a local folk custom. A female cultivator slowly explained the story behind the song for Chu Ning.

The female cultivator was good at words, focused on body parts, and her descriptions were so lifelike that Chu Ning was mesmerized and entranced.

The only regret is that even in the Dan Realm, the female cultivators engaged in singing mainly focus on condensing Qi and building foundations, and I have not met any female cultivators of the Golden Dan.

…

…

Seven days later, Chu Ning walked out of Miaoxian Tower, spending a total of ten spirit crystals.

Working people earn hard-earned money.

With a sigh, Chu Ning walked towards the location of the Dan Pagoda.

The elixir pagoda of Qudan City is in the center of the city. When Chu Ning came to the door of the elixir pagoda, no one stopped him.

Entering the Dan Pagoda, it was also completely empty, with not a single person in sight.

Chu Ning didn't look for anyone. He just took out the token that Grandmaster Huang had given him from his storage bag and crushed it into pieces.

The token was crushed, and the surrounding space fluctuated. Looking at it, the surrounding space rippled like waves.

When the waves dissipated, Chu Ning found herself in a bookcase, surrounded by bookshelves filled with jade slips.

Chu Ning spread her consciousness and discovered that there were tens of thousands of such bookshelves. Calculating one hundred jade slips on each bookshelf, there were almost millions of jade slips in this library.

If we look at this one by one, we may not be able to finish it in ten years.

The jade slips in the library do not record three or five sentences. The content of each jade slip is comparable to a novel with millions of words.

Fortunately, Chu Ning quickly discovered the logo. These bookshelves were engraved with logo categories, which allowed him to search for the jade slips he wanted based on the categories.

History!

Chu Ning came to the bookshelf area with the word "history" engraved on it.

The so-called history refers to some things that happened in the history of Dan Realm.

…

…

A year later, Chu Ning read through all the jade slips on the history of the Dan Realm. From these jade slips, he learned about many sects that had disappeared in the Dan Realm, and also learned about the origin of the Dan Realm.

Dan Territory did not have such a vast area at first.

The history of the creation of Alchemy Realm comes from several alchemists. In order to improve their alchemy skills, these alchemists agreed to gather somewhere every once in a while to exchange their alchemy experiences.

After the gathering was held several times, more and more alchemists participated, and the prototype of the Alchemy Tower Association was formed. Later, these alchemists moved their families and sects over. After a long period of time, there was The current Dan territory.

The first seven alchemists were also called the Seven Ancestors of the Alchemy Domain.

At the same time, why does Chu Ning have such a prominent position in the Central Domain, ranking first in the Central Domain? Three of the seven ancestors of the Dan Domain come from the Upper Domain.

In addition to knowing the origin history of the Dan Realm, Chu Ning also knew that the creator of the Secret Realm of Concentration was a Saint Master of the Dan Realm. The secret realm was created 13,000 years ago.

In addition, there was the decline and rise of some sects in the Dan Territory. What surprised Chu Ning was that there were currently sixteen super sects in the Dan Territory, and the Danshan Sect was the one that had existed the longest.

The rise of every super sect is due to the emergence of a holy master, but Danshan Sect does not. Danshan Sect can be on an equal footing with other super sects because the overall strength of Danshan Sect is extremely stable.

The other fifteen sects had a period of glory after the Saint Master appeared, but their strength declined after the Saint Master left. But Danshan Sect did not, and it has remained stable for so many years.

The jade slips in the Xinhuo Palace also have records about the Dan Realm, but they only record the changes in the Dan Realm within three thousand years. The jade slips here in the Dan Pagoda Hall have detailed records of the events in the Dan Realm in the last 20,000 years.

After spending a year learning about the situation in the Dan Realm, Chu Ning turned his attention to the second bookshelf.

Outland history!

The second bookshelf contains historical records about other domains.

"Taiyuan Domain, ranked fifth among the nine central domains, isn't this the central domain where Zhao Qin is located?"

Picking up a jade slip on the bookshelf and scanning the contents with her spiritual consciousness, Chu Ning muttered something, and then her mind sank into it.

Three months later, Chu Ning picked up the second jade slip.

Ten Thousand Demon Realms, ranked third among the Nine Central Realms.

Shaoyang Domain, ranked sixth among the nine central domains.

…

…

In the East China Sea Region, the Nine Central Regions ranked seventh.

Seeing the East China Sea, Chu Ning's eyes lit up. The Suxin Island that Tang Xiaoniu went to was in the East China Sea.

Over the years, he has not contacted Tang Xiaoniu because he has inquired about the news that there is a sea storm in the East China Sea. Unless he is a powerful person who transforms into gods, it will be difficult to walk in the East China Sea.

After reading the information about the East China Sea, Chu Ning had a general understanding of Suxin Island where Tang Xiaoniu was located.

Suxin Island is not an old sect in the East China Sea, but has risen in the past five thousand years, and its strength is at the bottom of the four major sects in the East China Sea.

"No wonder the senior from the Eastern Sea Territory was so easy to talk to and gave many promises. The new sect would be more energetic than the old sect, and the rules would not be so strict and rigid."

Chu Ning believes in one thing: whether it is a sect or an institution, the longer it goes, the more decadent it becomes. This is a law of history.

"Unfortunately, I still haven't found the information I wanted about Shan Zong."

After reading the jade slips from the Nine Central Regions, Chu Ning was a little helpless. Could it be that the forces of the Nine Realms really wiped out the Shan Sect's information so thoroughly?

"That's not right. Excluding the Dan realm, there are only eight of the nine central regions. Why is there a jade slip here?"

Chu Ning found a jade slip lying quietly in the lower corner of the bookshelf.

Reaching out to pick up the jade slip, Chu Ning's eyes shrank as soon as he put his consciousness into it.

It takes no effort to get there even if you wear iron shoes.

This jade slip mentions Shan Zong.

[The collection of books in the Alchemy Pagoda is all-encompassing, but there are still some omissions. I know this is taboo, so I recorded it anonymously on the jade slips for future generations to read. 】

[I have a friend who is a disciple of the Shan Sect. However, there is no trace of the Shan Sect in the five upper realms, the nine middle realms, and the sixty lower realms. I cannot bear the existence of the Shan Sect to be lost in the years, but I am afraid of violating the taboo, so I call my friend a friend. Narrate it. 】

What is recorded in this jade slip is a conversation between the author of the jade slip and a senior of the Shan Sect.

The text in the jade slips is similar to the Analects of Confucius, except that it records conversations.

[I once asked a friend, what path do people of the Shan Sect practice? 】

[The friend replied: People of the Shan sect build mountains to protect the world. 】

…

[I asked my friend again: How high can the mountain be built and how much can it be protected? 】

[The friend replied: The mountains are equal to the sky. Where the mountains are, everything is peaceful. 】

…

[One day, I saw a friend looking at the mountain and hesitating, and asked curiously: "This mountain is already ten thousand feet high, why are you hesitating?"]

[A friend replied: The mountain is so high that its soul is chosen. If the mountain has no soul, it will be difficult to grow. 】

[I ask: What is a mountain soul? 】

When Chu Ning saw this, his eyes narrowed slightly. So after Nian Tangshan reached a height of 10,000 feet, it did not grow any more. Is it because there is no mountain soul?

The question asked by the author of the jade slip happened to be what he also wanted to know at this moment.

"The friend laughed and replied: The soul of the mountain can determine the place of yin and yang. If the mountain does not have yang, there will be no life. If the mountain does not have yin, it will grow alone."

[I asked again: How to raise a mountain soul? 】

[A friend replied: What do people think of mountains? This is the soul of the mountain. There is a mountain called Sword Mountain, and its soul is like a sword. There is a mountain that hides magma in its body, and its soul is fire...]

…

…

After reading this series of conversations, Chu Ning finally understood what a mountain soul is.

The soul of the mountain is the function of the mountain.

For example, the elixir mountain is suitable for the growth of elixirs. When outsiders mention elixir mountain, they think of the elixirs in the mountain.

The mountain soul of Lingyao Mountain is condensed from many elixirs, and the mountain spirit is the mountain soul. This is why the elixir of Lingyao Mountain can be transferred to Tangshan.

As for Tangshan, there was a time when many female disciples of the Xiyue Sect would come to the mountain to listen to the love story between himself and Tang Ruowei. Later, it developed into a holy place for couples to check in.

If you continue to follow this path, then chanting Tangshan will represent love, and the soul of the mountain may be a saint-level existence.

"The mountain of love is a bit difficult to navigate. The most important thing is that it is easy for the character to collapse."

Knowing how to give birth to a mountain soul, Chu Ning began to think about which path to take.

According to what the author of this jade slip and the senior mountain sect said, love is a dead end. He can't hold a blind date meeting on the mountain and invite male and female cultivators to come on a blind date.

Besides, blind date is not love.

"According to what the senior mountain sect in this jade slip said, the best way is to provide shelter to both the common people and the monks under the mountain."

Chu Ning's eyes lit up, and he had already thought of a way to quickly condense the mountain soul.

"The Dan Realm is not good, and I may not be able to protect it with my strength, so the best way is to go to the Lower Realm. With the strength of the mid-stage Nascent Soul, I can still dominate the Lower Realm."

After confirming his idea, Chu Ning also had a smile on his face.

"It's time to go back to Chengshan Domain."
