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. They 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.
Through waiting in line 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 ground 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, whether he is entering or leaving the city, he will not be able to enter or 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, not just having spirit stones to book.
After walking around two streets, Xiao Lin's face was full of speechlessness. With his current status as a foundation-building cultivator, he naturally disdained to live in an inn like those low-level cultivators in the Qi Refining Stage.
But after asking a few inns, those single-family houses had been rented out, and there were only a few inferior houses left. These houses were all located on the street and were very noisy. Xiao Lin, who liked quietness, naturally didn't want them.
What made him even more speechless was that a waiter in another inn asked him if he wanted a cowshed.
Xiao Lin almost lost his temper on the spot and taught him a lesson. Fortunately, the innkeeper had some eyesight. He sensed from Xiao Lin's breath that he might be a senior in the foundation-building stage, so he immediately pulled the waiter away, and then kept apologizing to Xiao Lin, and Xiao Lin suppressed his anger.
However, this also made Xiao Lin have a deeper understanding of the shortage of housing in the Ice and Fire Fairy City. He continued to look for it, walked a few more streets, and finally found a single-family residence in a "Penggui Inn" in the west of the fairy city.
This was a foundation-building cultivator who was about to go to the Tianhan Mountains for trial. He had just checked out and happened to be bumped into by Xiao Lin. He was already quite impatient to find a place to live, so he naturally booked it without hesitation.
After paying 300 low-grade spirit stones and setting a three-year lease, Xiao Lin was brought to an independent courtyard by the waiter. The courtyard was surrounded by high walls, which were three or four feet high.
In the courtyard, three stone houses were built in a row. The stones of these stone houses were piled up with a kind of black stone. I heard from the waiter that this kind of stone was called black jade stone, which could isolate the spiritual consciousness of the cultivators.
Hearing this, Xiao Lin naturally wanted to test it. He released his spiritual consciousness, and as soon as it touched the rock of the stone house, he felt that his spiritual consciousness was bounced away. It was really impossible to penetrate.
Xiao Lin was slightly stunned, and then a look of surprise appeared on his face. The regret of paying the rent before disappeared instantly. It was worth spending 300 low-grade spiritual stones just to be able to isolate the spiritual consciousness of the cultivators.
After leading Xiao Lin to the courtyard, the waiter said goodbye and left. After the waiter left, Xiao Lin pondered for a while, and then took out five small flags with five-color spiritual light from his storage bag. They were the flags of the inverted five elements soul-locking formation he refined.
With a light throw, the five small flags flew out in five directions and disappeared in the blink of an eye. Then Xiao Lin rang a spell. After a cup of tea, Xiao Lin looked at the faint green spiritual light above his head, and a look of satisfaction appeared on his face.
Entering the stone house in front, the stone house is very spacious, about four or five feet in radius, and there is a stone door on each side. Obviously, the three stone houses are connected. The stone house where Xiao Lin is located should be a lounge, and there is a large mahogany bed in the innermost.
The bedding and sheets on it have obviously been changed, fresh and clean. Xiao Lin didn't think about it, just fell on the bed, covered with the quilt, and fell asleep.
...
It was not until the morning of the third day that Xiao Lin woke up from his sleep. The fatigue from running around for several months also dissipated after a sleep.
Xiao Lin got up from the bed in high spirits, and after a little washing, he came to the practice room next to it. This practice room is also very simple. In addition to an empty wooden shelf placed next to it, there is only a cushion placed in the center of the stone room.
Xiao Lin sat cross-legged on the cushion and began to think about the practice plan for the next period of time.
Although Xiao Lin has not yet refined a third-level elixir suitable for himself, and the Five Elements Elixir has completely lost its effectiveness, even the bottle of Yuxuandan given to him by Su Qingyun has already been taken by him. Although it is quite effective, the quantity is too small.
It only improved Xiao Lin's cultivation in the late stage of foundation building a little. If he wants to improve his cultivation as quickly as before, he must refine the Huohandan.
But in Xiao Lin's view, it is still unknown when he wants to refine his Huohandan. However, even so, Xiao Lin has never relaxed his cultivation for a day. The fixed four hours of breathing in the spiritual energy of heaven and earth every day is a compulsory course.
There are still three years before the opening of the Dutian Xiaohan Realm. After careful consideration, Xiao Lin decided to enter the Dutian Xiaohan Realm to pick the soul-binding grass for refining the Biyandan.
It's not that Xiao Lin has nothing to do and wants to go in for adventure, but during the trial with his previous teammates, Xiao Lin also learned some information from the side, and the answer he got was that over the past few hundred years, the number of soul-binding grass in the Dutian Xiaohan Realm has become less and less.
