It is common for ordinary monks in the Xuanhuang Continent to be able to cultivate for more than 20 years, and enter the foundation building period before the age of 30, so as to obtain a longevity of more than 200 years.

After the foundation is built, not every monk has the opportunity to enter the Dan period, most monks stop at the foundation building period in their lives, and only enjoy more than 200 years of life, and only a few of them can cultivate to the Dan period.

And this process, some will take fifty years, some will take eighty years, and some will be before the end of life.

Zhang Xiaohan also knew that her cultivation speed was already amazing, not to mention that she wanted to go one level further and enter the middle stage of the Yudan.

The improvement of cultivation is not only retreat cultivation, with the rise of cultivation, the role of retreat and penance will gradually decrease, Zhang Xiaohan doesn't understand why, but the fight with demon beasts in the demon beast forest for more than half a year made her cultivation at that time improve very quickly.

Zhang Xiaohan felt that the shortcomings of the lack of background began to be exposed little by little at this time, and she needed to communicate with monks of the same level, or needed books on this subject.

"Chaos Exercises" is no longer open at this level of the Dan Period, and "Soul Cultivation" has also stopped, and the feeling of stagnation in cultivation makes Zhang Xiaohan extremely uncomfortable.

She knew that she shouldn't be in a hurry, she was only in her twenties, and she still had nearly five hundred years to live, but she couldn't help but be in a hurry.

Fortunately, in the course of a year, she was able to manipulate the ninety-nine eighty-one flying needles with complete ease, but when she combined the flying needles into one flying sword, she felt that her spiritual power was quite insufficient, and it was difficult to exert her full power.

More than four hundred gold-devouring ants have devoured more than a hundred of her elixirs in the past year, and the appearance does not seem to have changed, Zhang Xiaohan does not dare to withdraw the magic technique to observe their spirits, unless she gets the method of domesticating spirit insects, these spirit insects are a chicken rib to her.

Zhang Xiaohan, the eggs of the gold-devouring ants, did not let them hatch, they were always in the spirit beast bag, as for whether they would become dead eggs, Zhang Xiaohan had no time to take care of them.

What makes her happy is Xiaobao, who is still asleep. But the fur on his body began to shine, and he felt like he was really sleeping again, Zhang Xiaohan knew that it was best for Xiaobao to be in the spirit gathering array, and it was not appropriate to leave with him.

This col has been inhabited for a year. There was no disturbance, because of the remoteness, mortals naturally did not see it, and the aura was not more abundant than in other places, even the monks did not travel from here, and it was safe enough to leave Xiaobao here.

After thinking about it for a few days, Zhang Xiaohan still decided to go out and try it, and exchange the spirit stones of the Spirit Gathering Array for high-grade spirit stones, which are estimated to be able to last for a month, and there are Spirit Gathering Grass around. She's going to be back in a month's time.

It's best to go out this time and find books that will work for you.

made a decision, Zhang Xiaohan was not a mother-in-law's person, so he checked the formation again, replaced the spirit stone, and put on a black cloak. Bring a mask.

Spiritual power is injected, and the black brilliance on the cloak is flourishing, but this qiē is hidden by the mask, Zhang Xiaohan doesn't want to leave any clues here, causing unnecessary trouble to Xiaobao.

In half a day, Zhang Xiaohan quietly landed in a place not far from the royal city.

The speed of the cloak is really fast, faster than the treasure ship in Zhang Xiaohan's hand - the treasure ship is in the storage ring that Fan Xiaofan has stolen. Originally, it took more than a day to take the treasure ship, but it flew in half a day.

Zhang Xiaohan did not forget the shops she had secretly acquired, most of these shops were not big, they were still the original shopkeepers, the original guys, under the influence of divine control and soul cultivation. Shopkeepers are people who are loyal to themselves.

But Zhang Xiaohan is not at ease with these shopkeepers now, not only do they have the information of these shopkeepers, but they also have the red clothes and green clothes that they did not bring out in Xiannong Cave Mansion, as long as they have a heart, they can also find out with the flow of spiritual rice produced in Xiannong Cave Mansion every month.

If you want to collect what you need. Those humble towns don't necessarily have anything, they still have to be big places.

Far away, Zhang Xiaohan fell down and put away his cloak.

Suppress the cultivation to the early stage of foundation building, change into an ordinary costume, make some simple modifications on the face, and turn into a male cultivator with a slightly yellow face and an ordinary appearance.

As for the colorful butterfly on his head, Zhang Xiaohan was naturally reluctant to put it in the spirit beast bag with the gold-devouring ants, but carefully put it in his arms.

The royal city has hardly changed from three years ago, the wide avenue divides the royal city into four parts, and Zhang Xiaohan entered the royal city without being blocked.

The shops in the East Market are all for monks, and Zhang Xiaohan walks unhurriedly.

There were almost no monks on the main road of the royal city, and Zhang Xiaohan walked until he reached the East City, where he could see a little bit of the prosperity of the past.

The royal city in my memory is not like this, something must have happened in this year.

How could nothing have happened? More than 1,000 monks in Wangcheng lived in Xiannong Cave Mansion, although there was only one month of residency at that time, but when people arrived in Xiannong Cave Mansion, Fan Xiaofan could they let go of these monks?

There are also monks of the Xuanzhen Sect, monks of the Lingwu Continent, a year seems to be a short time, enough for a lot of things to happen.

There is also a shop in this East Market that Zhang Xiaohan secretly acquired, in the innermost, inconspicuous location, but Zhang Xiaohan is not ready to go over blatantly.

She stood at the entrance of the East Market, looking left and right, it seemed that it was the first time she entered here, this long trip to the street was flanked by shops, Zhang Xiaohan had swept here, but at that time most of the materials she bought were spiritual plants and materials for making zuò talismans and talisman treasures.

It's a little deserted, I looked at the past, I didn't see the monk, I looked left and right, and there was a shop pù on the door panel, so early to close the stall? Zhang Xiaohan hesitated for a moment and entered the first store.

The shop pù at the entrance of the street occupies a favorable location, usually not too small, and the things are generally very complete, but as soon as Zhang Xiaohan entered the store, he was stunned for a while.

Originally, this was where Lingzhi Lingmi occupied a counter, and then there were all kinds of low-level magic weapons, as well as various alchemy refining tools, which were full of materials, but now it gave Zhang Xiaohan a feeling of emptiness.

"What does this fellow Daoist need?" A slightly older voice came from behind the counter.

In the late stage of qi refining, at the age of more than sixty years old, Zhang Xiaohan frowned slightly, he was not the previous shopkeeper.

"Fellow Daoist, I heard that the royal city is prosperous, so I came all the way from my hometown, but how can I look different from the rumors?" Zhang Xiaohan asked.

"Hehe," the old man looked at Zhang Xiaohan: "Daoyou cultivation is in the foundation building period, it should be an old senior, and the predecessor is not a monk near the royal city." ”

Zhang Xiaohan waved his hand: "Let's still be commensurate with Taoist friends." Let an old man call himself a senior, Zhang Xiaohan is somewhat uncomfortable.

The old man smiled and did not refuse, Zhang Xiaohan's modified appearance is a young man about thirty years old, and he has entered the foundation building period at this age, either a child of a big family, or a disciple of a sect, but looking at his appearance that he doesn't know much about Wang Cheng, it may also be a child of a small family who lives in seclusion.

"It's been a long time since I've seen a fellow Daoist from outside, if you have time, you might as well sit for a while." The old man sighed: "Today's East Market is not what it used to be." ”

Zhang Xiaohan was surprised in his heart, and sat down according to his words: "Please ask the name of the Taoist friend, how can it be so depressed here." ”

The old man took out a new teacup, poured a cup of tea directly from the teapot in front of him, and sent it to Zhang Xiaohan: "The old man's surname is Li, he has lived in this royal city since he was a child, how prosperous and lively the royal city was before, and now, alas, it is the time of this year, I can't believe that it has changed so much." ”

Zhang Xiaohan took the teacup and held it in his hand, didn't drink it, and didn't put it down: "Li Daoyou, in one year's time, what happened to Wangcheng this year?" ”

The old man nodded, moved a chair and sat opposite Zhang Xiaohan and said, "Daoist friends have probably been living in seclusion and don't ask about the world, otherwise they wouldn't know about a few major events that happened in our Xuanhuang Continent this year." ”

Zhang Xiaohan said: "Daoyou is so right, I have been cultivating in the mountains before building the foundation, and after building the foundation, the family only let me out to practice, and I really haven't heard of anything big." ”

"That's right." The old man sighed: "The old man will talk about it for Taoist friends, alas, it has been a long time since anyone from outside has returned." ”

The old man sighed and said: "The first major thing has to start from five years ago, I don't know if Daoist friends have heard that five years ago, on the other side of the Demon Beast Forest, there was an ancient sect stationed in the ground that suddenly rose from the ground, and the five major sects of the Xuanhuang Continent joined forces to cross the Demon Beast Forest. ”

Zhang Xiaohan nodded and said: "I heard that, because in recent years, the aura of our place has gradually become thicker, and it is said that the seal under the ancient immortals has been unsealed, not only has the ancient gate station risen from the ground, but even the aura that has been sealed has also become rich." ”

This is indeed what Zhang Xiaohan guessed.

The old man smiled and said: "What Daoyou said is good, everyone guesses so, but we have only said half of the major events we just said five years ago, and we don't know if Daoyou has heard of it." ”

Zhang Xiaohan shook his head blankly, but he knew in his heart that it was a matter of the Xuanzhen faction.

Sure enough, the old man continued: "The five major factions joined forces to cross the Demon Beast Forest and explore the location of the Ancient Gate, but it turned out that a year later, the Xuanzhen Sect annexed the other four factions and occupied the Ancient Gate Residence alone, and since then there has only one Xiuzhen Sect in the Xuanhuang Continent." ”

Zhang Xiaohan "ah" for a moment, very surprised: "There is only one immortal cultivation sect?" Other sects were wiped out so lightly? Did the disciples of the other sects die or joined the Xuanzhen sect? ”

"Who knows, there are those who have died, and there are those who have joined the Xuanzhen Sect, in short, the stations of the five major factions on our side have also been taken over by the Xuanzhen Sect, and now there is only one Xiuzhen sect left in this continent."
