Chapter 275 Temporary Residence
Chen Luo walked slowly along the river, watching the performances of the vendors.
The layout of Yaowang City is perfect. From the air, it looks like a huge circular city. Except for the spiritual peak in the middle, the urban area is all sloping. There are wooden buildings surrounding the slope. There is a big river flowing north and south, dividing Yaowang City into two. The residents of Yaowang City live by the river.
There is no distinction between inner and outer cities.
The closer to the top of the mountain, the more expensive the house price. The spiritual energy is also more abundant. Those who can live halfway up the mountain are all strong among the immortals.
In front of a wooden courtyard, Chen Luo raised his hand and knocked on the door.
"Who are you looking for?"
The servant stretched out his head and looked at Chen Luo in confusion. He didn't know Chen Luo. As a doorman, he had a very good memory and could remember all the important guests of the owner.
"I'm looking for Meiqin."
Chen Luo said a name.
It was the female foundation-building cultivator who had come with him on the flying boat. Mei Qin had made a deal with him. The first Dan-forming technique that Chen Luo obtained after coming to the Tiannan Region was exchanged by Mei Qin. After they parted in the market, Mei Qin left Chen Luo her contact information.
Originally, Chen Luo didn't want to bother Mei Qin, and he didn't have a deep relationship with her. It's just that it's too troublesome to stay in Yaowang City, and the control of the stay of foreign cultivators is very strict. If you want to stay in Yaowang City, you must find a local cultivator to guarantee it, or make contributions to Yaowang City.
Cultivators who have obtained the qualification of alchemist in Yaowang City can also stay, but that qualification, in addition to the tedious assessment, also represents trouble. There will be a series of alchemy tasks to do later, which is inconsistent with Chen Luo's original intention of retreat, so he thought about it and finally decided to bother this junior sister who had only met once.
"Brother Chen?!"
A surprised voice came from inside.
Mei Qin arrived at the door instantly after hearing the noise. She didn't expect Chen Luo to really come to her family. When she received Chen Luo's message just now, she thought he was joking.
When she was on the flying boat, she wanted to ask Chen Luo to come and help the family set up a defensive formation when she made a deal with him. As a result, the other party refused. Unexpectedly, after a few months, the other party came to the door himself.
"I passed by Yaowang City and wanted to find a place to stay."
Chen Luo said with a smile.
"Please come in."
Mei Qin immediately pulled Chen Luo into the house.
The doorman next to him saw the situation and retracted his neck, not daring to ask any more questions.
Mei Qin is from the Yaowang City Immortal Cultivation Family. She was detected to have the qualifications for Immortal Cultivation since she was a child. Because of her mother's relationship, she was sent to the Qionghua Sect and became a disciple of the Qionghua Sect Taixuan Peak. Later, she went out with her mother to create Chixia Peak.
This time she came back because something happened in her family. Her father passed away, and the main family of Yaowang City lost the protection of the foundation-building cultivators, so she took the risk to rush back. On the way, she found Chen Luo to exchange the formation for the sake of the family, so she did not hesitate to take out the true secret of Kuishui.
The courtyard of the Mei family is very large, but there are not many people in the family, and there are even fewer people with the qualifications of cultivating immortals. When Chen Luo came in, he only saw three descendants with qualifications, and the others were ordinary people. The inheritance of the family of cultivating immortals is the same. It is not that the children born by the cultivators must have the spiritual root qualifications, but it can only be said that the probability is greater than that of ordinary people.
"The spiritual root qualifications of these three children are not bad. If you are interested, you can give them some pointers."
"It's really good."
Chen Luo sensed it and found that the three children all had medium-grade spiritual roots, and one of them was a high-grade spiritual root. Although not as good as his apprentice Mu Xiaoyu, he is also a dragon among men, and the probability of building a foundation in the future is much greater than that of ordinary casual cultivators.
"This is your Grandpa Chen, who will stay in our Mei family for a few days. If you encounter something you don't understand in your practice, you must seize the opportunity to ask." Mei Qin hinted to the three juniors.
"Hello, Grandpa Chen."
The three children saluted respectfully, but their eyes looked over curiously.
They wanted to know what kind of existence could make their great-grandmother treat them so seriously. Although Mei Qin was a "junior sister" in front of Chen Luo and looked very young, she had actually practiced for more than two hundred years. Two hundred years of mid-stage foundation building was not slow, and in the family, it was the generation of great-grandmother. Some clansmen who passed on their family line quickly called Mei Qin "old ancestor" when they met her, and they kowtowed directly when they met.
Mei Qin had long been accustomed to this, but it was the first time for Chen Luo to be a "grandfather". Looking at the three children with curious faces, he couldn't help but smile.
"Three little things, I'll give them to you as gifts."
Chen Luo took out three first-level magic tools from his storage bag and gave them out. These three magic tools were left by the Lord of Panshi Peak. He had made a fortune on the ship before, and he hadn't had time to take a closer look. As the Lord of the Outer Peak, the other party must have a lot of similar rewards on him. Not to mention that in addition to the storage bag of the Lord of Panshi Peak, Chen Luo also had the storage bag of the Lord of Xinjian Peak and others.
"Thank you, Grandpa Chen."
The three juniors who received the magic weapon were pleasantly surprised. They did not expect this 'Grandpa Chen' to be so generous. Although the first-level magic weapon in Chen Luo's hand looked like rags, these things would cost a lot of money to buy in the market outside. As one of the four arts of immortal cultivation, the status of the weapon refiner is as high as that of the alchemist.
Many casual cultivators who have cultivated to the perfection of Qi Refining may not have a magic weapon in their hands.
"I am sorry for the expense, senior brother."
Mei Qin was also very happy. It seemed that this senior brother's 'humanity' had not been cut off. She had heard many rumors about the great cultivators of the Perfect Realm before.
This group of people are close to forming a pill, and each of them is trying to end their worldly ties, and some are even trying to cut off their emotions and desires, just to get through the heart demon tribulation smoothly. Compared with these people, Chen Luo obviously has much more "humanity".
'From this point of view, Brother Chen should still have a long way to go before forming a pill. '
Mei Qin made a judgment based on her own known experience.
After treating Chen Luo to drink some spiritual tea, Mei Qin arranged a place for Chen Luo to live. The location is naturally the place with the most spiritual energy in the Mei family. Chen Luo gladly accepted Mei Qin's arrangement.
He never felt that human relationships were a burden, and practicing is also cultivating the mind.
How can you cultivate your mind without entering the world of mortals?
What's more, he is practicing the Heart Demon Art, and he will need to spend a lot of effort to find the "heart demon" later. How can he learn from those people to sit in the mountains and cut off their emotions and desires.
"Have you set up the Xuanwu formation flag I gave you before?"
Chen Luo asked casually.
"It's already arranged. I've tried it out and it works well against attacks from the Foundation Establishment Realm." Mei Qin's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he immediately took Chen Luo to the arrangement point of the Xuanwu formation flags.
He bought this set of formation flags from Chen Luo, so he naturally knew Chen Luo's identity as a formation master. Now that the other party asked, it was obvious that he was going to help him arrange it himself.
"The location is good, but these points can be modified."
Chen Luo found several shortcomings in Mei Qin's arrangement with a glance. This is also a common problem for all non-formation masters. They always think that the deeper the formation flags are hidden, the safer they are, but in fact, this is not the case. For formation masters, once the formation is running, the effect of the formation flags is the same no matter where they are hidden. Deliberately hiding will deviate from the best formation position and leave flaws.
Spiritual energy flickered, and silk threads flickered from Chen Luo's fingertips. One by one, the formation flags connected to the ground began to change their positions and fill in the defects.
Soon Chen Luo revised the Xuanwu formation arranged by Mei Qin, repaired several visible loopholes, and added some auxiliary restrictions to increase the power of the formation by another 10%.
"Thank you, senior brother!"
Although Mei Qin didn't know what Chen Luo had modified, she could clearly feel that the power of the formation had become stronger.
This is the benefit of the formation master taking action personally.
It's a pity that there are too few formation masters. Each of them is a big shot who is hard to find. It is impossible to invite them to the house on weekdays.
After helping Mei Qin modify the formation, Chen Luo stayed at the Mei family.
After running all the way, he finally settled down.
In the room, Chen Luo took out the gourd of Guiyuan Dan and poured it twice with his hand. Two pills with danwen fell into his palm.
"No more?"
Chen Luo shook the gourd and found that there was really no pill in it. The pills made from the resources of Gumo Mountain and Shenhu Xianmen were officially finished.
"I will need to exchange some spiritual materials later. There should be a lot of spiritual materials in Yaowang City."
After taking the pill, Chen Luo sat cross-legged with his eyes closed and began his daily practice.
While Chen Luo was practicing in seclusion, the Alchemist Conference of Yaowang City was officially held. Young alchemists from all over the Tiannan region gathered here, wanting to show their talents here. (End of this chapter)
