The Xu family follows Taoism and seeks longevity

It seemed like a moment had passed, and also like a year had passed. Xu Zhiyu only felt that he had been floating in a different time and space for a long time before finally returning to the real world.

"vomit!"

When he opened his eyes, before he had time to look around, the clear sound of retching beside him attracted his attention.

Turning around, he saw the female Jindan from the Jiushi Sect who had been teleported with him just now, now bending over and retching.

Xu Zhiyu understood that the other party was suffering from the aftereffects of riding the teleportation array, and then he checked himself and found that except for some slight tearing pain in the flesh, everything else was normal.

However, in order not to attract attention, he sat directly on the ground and began to meditate, pretending that he had the aftereffects of the teleportation.

While he was secretly practicing his skills, he was observing the surrounding situation through his spiritual sense. In addition to him and the female Jindan from Jiushi Sect, there were many other cultivators here.

With a slight sense, he discovered the auras of seven or eight Nascent Soul cultivators, and dozens of Golden Core cultivators. They were now in a very spacious palace.

In the center of the palace, there stood a teleportation array that was even larger than any he had seen before, and there were many monks waiting in line next to it, waiting to be teleported.

At this moment, a white light flashed in the center of the teleportation array. Before he could see the specific situation, six late Jindan cultivators instantly appeared beside him.

Only then did he understand how he and the female Jindan from Jiushi Sect appeared here.

These six Jindan monks seemed to be used to the teleportation array, or the teleportation distance was relatively short. In any case, they did not show any sequelae and hurried out of the hall.

Seeing that the show was almost over, Xu Zhiyu stood up, glanced at the Jindan female cultivator who was still pale and had her eyes closed, shook his head, turned around and was about to leave.

The two parties just met by chance, so there is no need to say goodbye or anything.

But when he reached the entrance of the hall, he was stopped by a voice.

"That boy from Xuanzhou, don't leave yet, you haven't registered yet?"

Hearing this, he immediately turned around and wanted to look for the cultivator who had just sent him a message. Judging from the cultivators he had come into contact with before, the cultivator who had just sent him a message should be at the Nascent Soul stage.

However, the place was too big and there were too many monks, so he couldn't tell who was conveying the message to him.

"Silly boy, stop looking and come to the left front. I'll be waiting for you in the wooden house."

Hearing this, Xu Zhiyu first looked to the left front, and indeed found a peculiarly shaped wooden house ten miles away. Without hesitation, he flew over directly.

After entering the wooden house, he found that there were no monks here, not even a single person in sight.

Just when he thought he had made a mistake, a smiling child, only three feet tall, about seven or eight years old, appeared in front of him.

"Why, boy, don't you recognize me? I am the one who just sent you a message. Others respectfully call me Taiyuan Zhenjun."

Seeing the young Jindan looking at him blankly, the three-foot-tall child spoke.

"Junior Xu Zhiyu, I have met my senior!"

Xu Zhiyu reacted only then and bowed immediately. If the other party had not revealed his identity, he would never have believed that the child in front of him could be an old monster in the Nascent Soul stage.

"Well, you were teleported here from the Jiushi Sect in Xuanzhou, right? Show me your ID."

Master Taiyuan made a request that confused Xu Zhiyu instantly. He didn't remember having any identification because it was Master Xia who personally took him to Jiushi Sect.

"This……"

He hesitated for a moment, and Taiyuan Zhenjun showed an impatient look on his face, and said sternly:

"Why, you don't have any ID? So you came here illegally?"

After he finished speaking, a violent storm-like pressure poured down on him.

"Wait a minute, Senior. I have the ID. Please see it."

Xu Zhiyu remembered that before the teleportation, the master of the Welcoming Hall had given him a teleportation token, and the identity proof the other party mentioned might be this thing.

When he saw the teleportation token in his hand, the pressure on him disappeared instantly, and the token in his hand also disappeared.

While browsing the information on the transmission token, Master Taiyuan reached out into the air and a jade crystal shining with purple light appeared in his right hand.

"Okay, kid, this jade crystal will be your identity certificate on the Zuzhou Continent from now on. If you want to enter or exit any larger market, you must have this certificate, otherwise you won't be able to enter at all.

Since you came from Xuanzhou and are not a member of our Jiushi Sect, I can only issue you this temporary identity certificate, which is valid for one sixty years.

After the expiration date, if you still want to stay in Zuzhou, you can come to the Transmission Hall of my Jiushi Sect and ask Yuanying Zhenjun to re-apply for the certificate, but it will not be free next time, and you will need to pay a fee of 10,000 medium-grade spirit stones. "

Hearing this, Xu Zhiyu secretly rolled his eyes in his heart. How could everything be related to spirit stones?
"But this is not absolute. If you can successfully join a force within sixty years, then you will be eligible to stay in Zuzhou permanently."

Master Taiyuan then added another sentence.

"Senior, any force will do, then I..."

As if he had guessed what he was going to say next, Zhenjun raised his hand and interrupted him.

"You're dreaming! The forces I'm talking about are at least Yuanying and above. Other random Jindan and Zifu forces are definitely not qualified. Do you understand?"

"I see. Thank you for your guidance, senior."

Just when he was about to leave, Master Taiyuan stopped him again, then took out a jade slip and handed it to him.

“This contains a general description of the situation in Zuzhou. Go back and read it carefully. Do not go to the places that are specially marked as off-limits. Otherwise, even a peak Spiritualization cultivator will not be able to save you.

There is another point you need to note. Although our Jiushi Sect is very famous in Xuanzhou, it is just an ordinary force in Zuzhou.

So don't think you can cause trouble just because you have the certificate issued by Jiushizong. We will not be responsible if anything goes wrong."

Respectfully accepting the jade slip, Xu Zhiyu thanked Taiyuan Zhenjun and left the teleportation hall. When he stepped out of the hall, he paused for a while and looked from afar. He saw high palace walls all around and a very pure spiritual energy coming from the air.

Looking up, there are several towering mountains in the distance, connected to each other by jade bridges and golden corridors. You can vaguely see people walking around, surrounded by clouds and mist, it looks like a paradise.

He walked out while looking around. Because of the rule of Jiushi Sect that prohibits flying in the air, he could only walk towards the sect obediently.

However, the walking speed of a Jindan cultivator is not much different from the flying speed of a foundation-building cultivator.

However, the area of ​​the Zuzhou Jiushi Sect was so large that it took him about four hours to reach the sect.

A team of patrolling Jindan monks blocked his way. They did not let him go until he handed the purple jade crystal in his hand to them for inspection.

"It is indeed the power of Zuzhou. Their strength is different. Most of the cultivators I have seen along the way are Jindan Yuanying cultivators, while those with Purple Mansion Foundation Establishment cultivation are rare."

After expressing his feelings, Xu Zhiyu stepped out of the Jiushi Sect and officially began his journey to Zuzhou.

Because he had not yet decided where he was going, he took out the map of Zuzhou given to him by Master Taiyuan and wanted to study it.

Unexpectedly, after just a few glances, he was completely shocked.

Due to its large territory, Zuzhou is divided into five regions, namely South Continent, North Continent, West Continent, East Continent and Central Continent.

If we only talk about the area, among the five continents, the four continents of east, west, south and north cover a much larger area than the Central Continent.

But in terms of prosperity, the four continents of the southeast, northwest, northeast and southwest combined are not as prosperous as the Central Continent.

There is no way. The top three super powers in Zuzhou are all stationed there. Precious spiritual objects and the largest market town are all in Zhongzhou.

Therefore, for any cultivator from the Ancestral Continent who has some abilities, the place they most desire must be the Central Continent, which is also the holy place in the hearts of all cultivators from the Ancestral Continent.

The Jiushi Sect is located at the southernmost tip of the Nanzhou region, and the sect is located on a huge island.

If he wanted to go to the nearest market town, he would need to board a high-level sea vessel and travel nearly a million miles north to reach the southern tip of the continent in the Nanzhou region.

To put it simply, the Jiushi Sect is a powerful force that dominates the sea. With the island where the Jiushi Sect is located as the center, the area within a million miles nearby is under their jurisdiction.

When he flew to the dock, he saw hundreds of ships lined up in the harbor, and none of them were lower than the fourth grade.

As soon as he landed on the ground, six or seven gorgeously dressed female cultivators from the Purple Mansion surrounded him and tried to persuade him to come.

"Senior, are you heading north? Then you can choose to take our 'Zi Yang' sea boat.

Our boats are not only comfortable, but also operated by experienced fourth-level navigators, so they are absolutely safe."

"Come on, your old, broken boat is still here to attract customers. I'm afraid it will sink one day even if it's just moored there, let alone sailing."

"You... that's better than your boat. You put aside your legitimate business and put some sluts on the boat to seduce the male monks. Aren't you ashamed? You still have the nerve to come here?"

Before Xu Zhiyu expressed his opinion, these female cultivators who were soliciting customers started fighting each other.

Through their quarrels, Xu Zhiyu also understood that these female cultivators had their own fleets, specializing in transporting cultivators across the sea to earn spirit stones.

However, these people did not give him a good impression, so while they were fighting each other, Xu Zhiyu left the place without saying a word.

"Where should I go?"

Coming to a more secluded place, he lowered his head and thought about this problem.

There are now two paths before him. The first is to go north, which will allow him to reach the land faster and get closer to the Central Plains.

Another way is to go to the Yunan Market, which is more than 100,000 miles away. This market is under the jurisdiction of the Jiushi Sect and is one of the top large markets in the Nanzhou region. It is filled with rare treasures and countless precious spiritual objects of various levels.

After thinking it over again and again, he decided to go to the Yu'nan Market first. Among the materials he wanted to collect for refining his own magic weapon, two were produced from the bottom of the sea. Maybe he could get them all by going there.

As for going to the Central Plains sooner or later, there was no need to rush. Before he set out this time, he had a rough plan for the duration of his trip, which was about fifty years.

Although it is impossible to visit every place in Zuzhou during such a long period of time, I can still go to the places I want to go.

However, he really didn't understand why they had to take a boat to travel a distance of only tens of thousands miles.

For a Jindan cultivator, hundreds of thousands of miles is not a very far distance, and one day is enough. However, he did not rush to fly away alone, but called a local foundation-building junior to ask him.

"Senior, you are asking the right person. There are two main reasons why we have to take a ship to travel a distance of more than 100,000 miles.

One reason is that at sea, there are often stormy weather, accompanied by thunder, lightning and hurricanes.

For Jindan cultivators like the senior, storms have no effect at all, but hurricanes are different. The power of that thing varies. The strongest kind is something that even Yuanying cultivators have to avoid when they encounter it.

But our sea vessels are different. They have special formations designed to resist hurricanes. As long as we are not too unlucky, we will be very safe even if we encounter a super hurricane that occurs once in a thousand years.

The second reason is that in this sea area, there are often robber cultivators. Their whereabouts are uncertain, coming and going like the wind, and they often rob the cultivators of all levels who pass by. Over time, no cultivator is willing to travel alone. "

When he heard this, an evil thought popped up in Xu Zhiyu's mind.

I think these robber cultivators might be disguised by the forces that these fleets belong to, in order to scare the cultivators and then board their boats.

This speculation is not without basis. After all, the headquarters of Jiushi Sect is only more than 100,000 miles away from Yu'nan City. Robbery here would be a slap in the face of Jiushi Sect, wouldn't it?
But he was just guessing, and even if this was true, it had nothing to do with him. He took out two mid-grade spirit stones and sent away the foundation-building cultivator who was asking questions.

He found a fourth-grade upper-quality sea boat, bought a ticket for one thousand lower-grade spirit stones, and then boarded.

It's not that he is stingy and unwilling to take a fifth-level sea boat. It's because the distance of more than 100,000 miles is at most a short distance, and there is no need to take a fifth-level sea boat. Besides, he is not in a hurry, so a fourth-level sea boat is enough.

As the time for sailing arrived, the sea boat, driven by spiritual power, began to slowly move towards the Yunan Market. (End of this chapter)
