Chapter 348 Determination
This is why Xiao Lin decided to come to the Ice and Fire Fairy City first after learning about the existence of the Ice and Fire Fairy City from those teammates. He also wanted to try his luck and see if he could do it in the largest fairy city in the Southern Territory. Purchase these two elixirs.
After seeing the Ice and Fire Fairy City, Xiao Lin was really shocked. Speaking of fairy cities, Xiao Lin had been to several fairy cities, such as the Wuyin Fairy City at the beginning, and later Chixia Fairy City and Snow Ridge Fairy City.
These fairy cities are all located in the Tianlu Mountains and are considered small and medium-sized fairy cities. In the Southern Territory, he has been to two medium-sized fairy cities, Nanhuang Fairy City and Ziri Fairy City.
As for the large fairy city, this was the first time Xiao Lin had seen it, but the strangeness of the Ice and Fire Fairy City still amazed Xiao Lin.
Not to mention the huge wall of the Ice and Fire Fairy City, which was forty or fifty feet high, just like a ridge. What surprised him even more was that outside the Ice and Fire Fairy City, there were large snowflakes floating, just like what Xiao Lin had seen. Just like the fairy city in Xueling.
But in the sky above the Ice and Fire Fairy City, countless snowflakes were evaporated into clouds of mist before they fell to the ground. So at first glance, there were clouds of snow-white mist floating thousands of feet above the entire Ice and Fire Fairy City. Beautiful and spectacular.
After queuing up and chatting with people around him, Xiao Lin understood that because this Ice and Fire Fairy City was not far from the Blackpool Sea, the entire nearby climate was also affected, with snowflakes falling all year round.
And this Ice and Fire Fairy City was built on an entrance to the earth fire. The entire city was burned by the earth fire all year round. It was only under the cold and heat that such a wonderful scene appeared.
Xiao Lin was a little confused at first. The entire city was built on the entrance to the underground fire. Wouldn't the temperature inside the city be extremely high? Even if cultivators can resist such high temperatures, as far as Xiao Lin knows, no matter how big a fairy city is, there are still many mortals living in it.
After all, cultivators don't do laundry, cooking, and cleaning. Most of these things are done by mortals living in the fairy city. Compared with the secular world, the fairy city is safer and more stable.
As long as you are not seeking death and colliding with cultivators, cultivators usually will not take the initiative to bully those mortals. Therefore, even if there is a chance to leave, mortals born in the fairy city will not choose to leave the fairy city.
If the city is really unbearably hot, how can ordinary mortals survive?
But someone soon explained to him that when this fairy city was built, this layer was taken into consideration. A huge formation was built below the Ice and Fire Fairy City. The energy required for this formation was based on the ground. Driven by the power of fire.
This formation has only one purpose, which is to isolate the contact between the earthly fire and the city, and also to send the heat emitted through dozens of formation holes into the air thousands of feet high, so that the heat can confront the ice and snow.
This resulted in the strange scene that Xiao Lin had seen before.
Moreover, the residual heat makes the Ice and Fire Fairy City feel like spring all year round. Not only will it not make those mortals uncomfortable, but it will also make the Ice and Fire Fairy City the most comfortable fairy city for mortals.
After understanding this, Xiao Lin was really amazed. Such fantastic ideas indeed carry the superior wisdom of the ancients. Perhaps only those ancient cultivators who have practiced for hundreds of years can come up with such wonderful ideas. method.
Half an hour later, after Xiao Lin paid ten low-grade spirit stones, he was given a token to enter and leave the Ice Fire Fairy City. This token is valid for one year. As long as one year has passed, no matter whether he is entering or leaving the city, he will be able to enter and exit the city. Payment must be made again, and the time interval between these payments must be clearly calculated.
For example, if Xiao Lin stays in the fairy city for ten years, the next time he leaves the city, he will have to pay nine years of fees at once, which is ninety low-grade spiritual stones.
This made Xiao Lin secretly stunned. The cost of this Ice and Fire Fairy City was really high. I am afraid that only a resource-rich place like Blackpool Sea could support such a high cost.
Of course, there are several small and medium-sized fairy cities hundreds of thousands of miles away from the Ice and Fire Fairy City, but the location of those fairy cities is not a bit worse than the Ice and Fire Fairy City.
Moreover, Xiao Lin also saw a strange phenomenon, that is, many houses were built in the area dozens of miles outside the Ice and Fire Fairy City. Most of the people who came in and out of these houses were cultivators in the early and middle stages of Qi refining.
But Xiao Lin was also surprised to see that it was completely free for mortals to enter and leave the fairy city. It seems that this is also a kind of care for mortals by the Ice and Fire Fairy City.
However, it is not difficult to understand. If mortals and cultivators are the same, they have to pay ten low-grade spiritual stones to enter and leave the fairy city. I am afraid that even if they are forced to death, they will not be able to get it.
There are not many mortals who go in and out of the fairy city. Most of these mortals are reclaiming wasteland and planting crops outside the city. After all, it is impossible to completely live without foundation. For most monks in the Qi Refining Period, they have to be like mortals. , drink water and eat.
After entering the Ice and Fire Fairy City, Xiao Lin felt a sense of warmth. Sure enough, in the Fairy City, the temperature was moderate, making people extremely comfortable.
Moreover, the streets in Ice and Fire Fairy City are very spacious. After entering the city, one of the main roads is more than ten feet wide, and you can't see the end at a glance. On both sides of the main road, there are rows of shops. Most of these shops are open at the moment. Door, selling various materials.
Xiao Lin was not in a hurry to hang out. He learned from his previous teammates that when he came to the Ice and Fire Fairy City, he first needed to find a place to live. Due to the large number of monks in the Ice and Fire Fairy City, the accommodation in the Fairy City was very tight.
Especially for some good single-family houses, reservations are required, and most of the time it depends on luck, and it is not possible to book one with a spiritual stone.
After walking two streets, Xiao Lin's face was filled with speechlessness. As a foundation-building monk, he naturally disdained living in an inn like the low-level monks in the Qi Refining Stage.
But after inquiring about several inns, it turned out that all the single-family residences had been rented out, and there were only a few inferior houses left. These houses were all facing the street and were very noisy. Naturally, Xiao Lin, who liked peace and quiet, It's not necessary.
What made him even more speechless was that a waiter from an inn asked him desperately if he wanted a cowshed.
Xiao Lin almost lost his temper on the spot and had to teach him a lesson. Fortunately, the innkeeper had a sharp eye and sensed from Xiao Lin's aura that he might be a senior in the foundation building stage, so he immediately pulled the guy away. Then he kept apologizing to Xiao Lin, and Xiao Lin finally calmed down.
However, this also gave Xiao Lin a deeper understanding of the tensions in the place of residence in the Ice and Fire Fairy City. He continued to search and walked a few more streets, and finally found a solitary place in a "Penggui Inn" in the west of the Fairy City. building residence.
This was a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment stage who was planning to go to the Tianhan Mountains for a trial. He had just checked out of the hotel when he happened to be bumped into by Xiao Lin. He was impatient to find a place to stay and naturally decided to do so without hesitation.
After paying 300 yuan of low-grade spirit stones and settling on a three-year lease, Xiao Lin was taken to an independent courtyard by the clerk. This courtyard was surrounded by high walls, which were three to four feet high.
In the courtyard, three stone houses were built in a row. The stones in these stone houses are made of a huge stone as black as ink. I heard from the waiter that this stone is called ink jade, which can isolate cultivators. Spiritual exploration.
Hearing this, Xiao Lin naturally wanted to test it. He released his spiritual consciousness, and as soon as it touched the rocks of the stone house, he felt that his spiritual consciousness was bounced away, and it was really impenetrable.
Xiao Lin was stunned for a moment, and then a look of surprise appeared on his face. The regret of paying the rent earlier disappeared in an instant. It can isolate the spiritual consciousness of cultivators. This alone cost him three hundred low-grade spiritual stones. Worth it.
After leading Xiao Lin to the courtyard, the clerk said goodbye and left. After the clerk left, Xiao Lin thought for a moment, and then took out five small flags with five-color auras from his storage bag, which he refined. The inverted Five Elements Soul Locking Formation flag.
With a slight throw, five small flags flew out in five directions and disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye. Then a spell sounded from Xiao Lin's mouth. After drinking tea, Xiao Lin looked at the faint cyan light above his head. , a look of satisfaction appeared on his face.
Entering the stone house in the front, the stone house is very spacious, with a radius of four to five feet, and there is a stone door on both sides. Obviously these three stone houses are connected. The stone house where Xiao Lin is located should be a lounge. In the innermost part is a large mahogany table. bed.
The bedding and sheets above had obviously been changed and were fresh and clean. Without thinking, Xiao Lin threw himself on the bed, covered himself with the quilt, and fell asleep.
…
It wasn't until the early morning of the third day that Xiao Lin woke up from his sleep. The fatigue of running around for several months also dissipated after a sleep.
Xiao Lin got up from the bed in high spirits. After freshening up a little, he went to the training room next to him. This training room was also very simple. Except for an empty wooden shelf placed next to it, there were only a few boxes placed in the center of the stone room. got a futon.
Xiao Lin sat cross-legged on the futon and began to think about his practice plan for the next period of time.
Although Xiao Lin has not yet refined a third-level elixir suitable for him, and the Five Elements elixir has completely lost its effectiveness, even the bottle of Yuxuan elixir given to him by Su Qingyun has already been taken by him. Quite effective, but the quantity is too small.
It only improved Xiao Lin's cultivation level a little in the later stage of foundation building. If he wanted to improve his cultivation level as quickly as before, he had to refine the Cold Pill.
But in Xiao Lin's opinion, he still doesn't know what year and month he wants to refine his Cold Cold Pill. However, even so, Xiao Lin has never relaxed his practice for a day, and he has to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth for a fixed four hours every day. It is a required lesson.
There are still three years left before the opening of Dutian Xiaohan Realm. After careful consideration, Xiao Lin decided to enter the Dutian Xiaohan Realm to pick the soul-hooking grass for refining the Biyan Pill.
This is not because Xiao Lin had nothing to do and wanted to take risks, but during the trial with his previous teammates, Xiao Lin also learned about it from a side perspective, and the answer he got was that over the past hundreds of years, There are fewer and fewer soul-hooking grasses in the Dutian Xiaohan realm.
