Cultivating Immortality in the Winter Wasteland

There are people coming and going in Zheng Kangguo's black market, and occasionally you can see people riding spirit beasts.

Chen Wang glanced at the other person's mount, and then at the orange cat following him, with a look of disgust on his face.

The orange cat seemed to sense his emotions, rubbed his trouser legs, and meowed.

This guy has poor endurance.

Although cats have poor endurance, Chen Wang couldn't help but complain,

"You are a spirit cat, you are a demon beast!"

Chen Wang took his eyes off the orange cat and looked around curiously.

There are people coming and going here, and there are some pavilions and towers around, which are all trading areas.

If you want to stay in a hotel here, you need to spend spirit stones, and no gold or silver is accepted.

Chen Wang walked in here for a while and found that there are also Baibao Pavilion and Tiangong Pavilion here.

Not only that, there are many other shops that deal with trading spirit tools, talismans and other items, many of which Chen Wang has never seen.

"This place is really big."

Chen Wang couldn't help but sigh. The black market here is more than ten times bigger than the market in Hongyun Sect. There are many people coming and going, and many cultivators gather here.

There are no people in the hundreds of miles around this black market. It is a wasteland with poor mountains and bad ridges.

To the north is Luohun Mountain. It is said that there are many powerful monsters in it. It is dangerous to go in.

Therefore, few people go to Luohun Mountain for trials or medicine.

Chen Wang saw that the stalls in the black market were divided in an orderly manner. Obviously, they were not set up here casually.

Chen Wang learned about it.

To set up a stall here, you have to pay a stall fee of two spirit stones every day, and there is a formation covering this place.

Chen Wang can also faintly sense that this formation is extremely extraordinary.

There is also a formation covering the Hongyun Sect, but it is too crude compared to this formation.

In addition, there are three foundation-building cultivators in this black market, and they have many disciples in the Qi training stage.

They are all wearing armor and maintaining the order of the black market.

They wear masks on their faces, and their expressions cannot be seen. They all have a strong smell of blood and evil, and they are obviously not good people.

It is said that there is a master in the Jindan stage behind this black market, and some people say that two masters in the Jindan stage have joined forces to set up a large formation here.

It’s just that the specific owner cannot be investigated.

This provides a platform for casual cultivators to exchange and trade, and very few people make trouble here.

Chen Wang now has an identity token in his hand. He needs to enter the information and then pay the spirit stone before entering.

This is the admission ticket. No one can enter without this identity token.

This black market area is very large, and there are many residences, just like streets and towns.

This place also has a strong spiritual energy, but the spiritual energy of the residence is different according to the price.

This is much more impressive than the black market that Chen Wang went to before.

The rules here are very strict. There is a powerful spirit gathering formation, which gathers all the spiritual energy within hundreds of miles around here.

Therefore, the spiritual energy in this area is very thin.

In addition, three spirit stones are required for each entry and exit, so many casual cultivators choose to stay in this black market.

Fighting is strictly prohibited in the black market, and no action is allowed for any reason, otherwise it will be severely punished.

The weakest patrolling cultivator is also in the late stage of Qi training, and many are in the state of great perfection.

Moreover, they are well-equipped and murderous.

They also hope that you will make trouble here so that they can brush their performance.

Therefore, there are few blind people,

even some notorious casual cultivators dare not make trouble here.

Because there are three foundation-building cultivators sitting here, one of whom is in the state of great perfection of foundation-building, and he alone is difficult to deal with.

But there are actually three foundation-building cultivators in this black market,

and it is unknown how many other masters there are. Therefore, this place is called a black market, but in fact it is very regulated and relatively safe.

The stall owners in this black market are very enthusiastic and shout constantly.

After all, it is understandable that if you can't sell the stalls for money, you will lose money.

In addition, you need to spend spirit stones to rent a house in this place, and you need to spend spirit stones every time you go in and out.

The people who created this place can be said to have engraved the way to make money in their minds.

But even so, there are still many casual cultivators coming here.

The traffic in this place is really too large, and the quality of the things is also very good. Many people come here from thousands of miles away to trade.

Chen Wang glanced at it casually and saw a few spiritual medicines and a few good high-quality magic tools.

There are people coming and going here, and the success rate of transactions is very high.

There are always people who can buy what they need here, and the prices here are not expensive strictly speaking.

After all, many things are sold as stolen goods, and everyone knows it tacitly. No one will attack each other here because of stolen goods.

Besides, many things have been passed around for many times before they arrived here, and they can't be traced.

But after leaving here, if there is any grudge to be resolved, it is hard to say.

Of course, some people have lived here for many years, and you can't seek revenge,

unless you want to be an enemy of the forces behind the entire black market.

In short, this is a place that is both chaotic and orderly.

After Chen Wang came here, he felt this special local customs.

He walked around the stalls and saw a lot of good things.

He wanted to buy some alchemy materials from the Red Cloud Sect before, but they were controlled because of the war.

But here, as long as you have money, you can buy almost everything you want.

There are no restrictions, as long as you can afford it.

"Sure enough, peace is the way to make money, and so is traffic."

Chen Wang thought.

The Hongyun Sect was in a dangerous situation, but there were countless forces colluding in the dark, and the undercurrent was surging, and it was targeted by the behemoth Xuanyin Sect.

Many casual cultivators work hard to make money, but they also hang their heads on their belts and fear.

Otherwise, there wouldn’t be many casual cultivators coming to settle here.

Therefore, it is not as good as this black market, which clearly sells stolen goods, but because the rules are followed and no fighting is allowed, the business is very prosperous.

Chen Wang walked around here and learned some news about the forces here.

Originally, this information could not be found out in a short time, but he had already found someone to come here to fight the preliminary battle.

He activated the messenger talisman in his hand,

This is something that cultivators often use to communicate, and they will react to each other.

Then he stopped in front of a stall.

The owner of this stall is a girl of fifteen or sixteen years old, who looks pretty.

She is selling some tools for drawing talismans, such as magic pens, paper and ink, etc.

Seeing Chen Wang standing nearby, he asked with a smile: "What does this fellow Taoist want to buy? I have a good spiritual pen here that can help draw talismans."

"This green fox pen is made from the hair of the blue fox and is worth fifteen spirit stones. If you want, I can give it cheaper."

The green fox is a special kind of monster, and its hair is recognized as the most suitable thing for making talisman pens.

Chen Wang shook his head and said with a smile, "I'm waiting for someone here."

The girl smiled cleanly and said softly: "Okay, fellow Taoist, please do what you want."

She didn't over-market, but continued to look through some things in her hand that explained talismans. It was obvious that this woman was also a talisman master.

Chen Wang is now very good at drawing talismans and can draw many elementary and intermediate talismans.

He really made up for the four arts of cultivating immortality.

However, alchemy is just getting started, and formations and weapon refining have not been learned yet.

Now that all the sects have been wiped out, Lao Wang’s whereabouts are unknown.

He could only continue his studies on his own.

Fortunately, Lao Wang has taught me many things.

When it comes to alchemy, as long as you practice diligently, you can achieve some success.

But formations and weapon refining are difficult. Without anyone to guide you, you have to explore on your own. It may take a long time to get started.

Chen Wang waited here for a while and saw a graceful figure wearing a clean green cloth dress with her hair in a bun. She looked extremely elegant.

It was Feng Lin.

At this time, Feng Lin seemed to have lost some of her charming aura, and she looked more reserved and graceful.

She smiled and greeted Chen Wang, and they left here temporarily.

Feng Lin said: "I have been here for a while and I know a little bit about it. Are you going to my residence?"

Chen Wang nodded: "Okay."

He and Feng Lin came to a residence. The building here was relatively simple.

It's just that Feng Lin lives in the cheapest place outside, so it's understandable with this style.

Hongyun Sect’s area is still full of wooden houses.

At least this is a normal house, a single family.

After opening the door and entering, there is a small courtyard, as well as a formation that masks the sound of breathing, which I brought with me when I was hospitalized.

After entering, Feng Lin poured Chen Wang a cup of tea.

When she bent over, the curvature was amazing, and the woman's figure seemed to become more supple.

She said softly: "If you don't come here, I won't have enough spirit stones. I'm afraid I won't be able to live here."

Chen Wang said: "Is the rent here expensive?"

Feng Lin said: "If I hadn't saved some money, I wouldn't be able to live here."

"The people who started this black market are really good at making money."

Chen Wangdao: "If you have the strength to control it, you can naturally make money and create your own market."

The two chatted here and learned more about the situation here.

Occasionally, some auctions are held here, but they are usually held once every six months, unless there are special circumstances.

For example, if a monk obtains a special treasure and auctions it publicly, and after handing in some spiritual stones, someone will organize it for him.

Chen Wang also learned from Feng Lin that the Jindan master behind this place was called Taoist Hu. He was dressed as a Taoist priest and looked to be in his thirties or forties, with a majestic air.

It is said that this person is also a good player among the golden elixir monks. He has been operating here for many years and has a wide range of friends. Many sects have friendships with him and no one dares to offend him.

Feng Lin came here for the pre-war, and she learned a lot of information. She had a very clear grasp of many things here.

Chen Wang said: "The Hongyun Sect is gone."

Feng Lin nodded: "I heard."

Chen Wangqi said: "The news spread so quickly."

Feng Lin said: "There is a large flow of people here, and the news spreads quickly. The news spread on the third day after the Hongyun Sect was destroyed."

Chen Wang said: "What other news is there?"

Feng Lin said: "There are rumors that this time not only the Xuanyin Sect wants to destroy the Hongyun Sect, but also the people from Longshou Mountain are taking action."

"Furthermore, Longshou Mountain originally negotiated a deal with the Hongyun Sect, and the two sects wanted to join forces. However, the deal collapsed later for unknown reasons, or maybe the people in Longshou Mountain had evil intentions from the beginning."

"That's why the Hongyun Sect fell so quickly. It seemed like a big force, but in fact it was Longshou Mountain and the Xuanyin Sect who teamed up to destroy him."

Chen Wang was surprised and said, "Is this gossip spreading so quickly?"

Feng Lin pursed her lips: "Some things seem very secret, but they spread inexplicably. In this black market, there are all kinds of gossips, most of which are false, and some of them are secrets that many people don't know. I don’t know how it came out.”

Chen Wang curled his lips, took a sip of tea, and calmed down his shock.

"If I had known, I wouldn't have had to venture into the mountains to find out information."

Feng Lin said: "You weren't in the mountains when the accident happened?"

Chen Wang shook his head: "I just happened to be away for a few days. When I came back, I saw people from the Xuanyin Sect all over the mountain, posting messages everywhere. I struggled to catch two people to get some information, but it was not as good as You understand clearly here.”

Feng Lin said: "I have never been to this black market before, and I didn't know that information circulates so fast here."

"By the way, there is news in the black market that the two parties are fighting not only for the territory, but also for a magic weapon called the Jinshan Flag. It is said to be a relic of a Nascent Soul monk, and it also involves his inheritance. That’s why it’s so violent.”

Chen Wang raised his eyebrows: "Jinshan Flag?"

This matched up with some of the information he had learned.

"You really didn't come to this black market in vain." Chen Wang said.

Feng Lin bit her lip lightly: "Master Chen, we haven't seen you for a long time. We talk about so many serious things when we meet, and you don't want me to serve you?"

Chen Wang said: "With your appearance, you haven't found anyone close to you in the city during this time?"

Feng Lin said: "Because I practice the Hehuan Sect's skills, you look down on me?"

Chen Wang smiled and said: "I didn't mean that. It's normal for a man to love a woman."

Feng Lin said: "I am determined to serve you, the Master of Foundation Establishment, as a slave and a maid. I hope you will leave me a place in your sect or family in the future. This will be as bright as the sun and the moon."

Chen Wang said: "You don't have to swear like that."

Feng Lin snorted softly. She fell into Chen Wang's arms and exhaled like blue.

"I haven't seen you for a long time. Isn't the real person not tempted at all?"

She was plump but light, lying in Chen Wang's arms with the warm fragrance of nephrite.

When facing Chen Wang, she obeyed the rules and did not use any charm.

But the more this posture is, the more attractive it is.

Chen Wang raised his hand and lifted her chin.

Her skin is extremely fair and her neck is slender.

Chen Wang said with a smile: "You are a well-informed woman. If you really want to do something for me, you must keep to yourself and don't have any other thoughts."

"The benefits will naturally come from you."
