Chapter 376 Difficulty Surviving
This time Ding Huan did not use an iron pot. He went to look for the ruins of the bankrupt immortal sect.
Controlling a top-grade spiritual weapon, Ding Huan searched with his mind all the way.
After walking for twenty days, Ding Huan did not find the bankrupt immortal gate, but found an immortal city.
To be honest, Ding Huan has been in the Fourth Immortal Realm for several years. Although he has been practicing most of the time, he has also been traveling outside.
He had seen many kinds of immortal gates, but this was the first time he had seen an immortal city like this.
Ding Huan did not hesitate and controlled the spaceship to land outside the fairy city. At the same time, he transformed himself into an ordinary cultivator who had been expelled.
In the Fourth Immortal Realm, there were countless independent cultivators who were expelled due to lack of ability, so it was not surprising that Ding Huan was dressed like this.
Ding Huan estimated that Yan Yuefang would come to him. Unless she was an idiot, Yan Yuefang would definitely ask Chang Danyi about her situation.
Chang Danyi would definitely tell him about his discovery of the Fairy Spring, and even about the arrangement of the protective array and the killing formation.
He had no interest in working for the Shuangzishan Immortal Sect and working hard to find the fairy spring for others. Why would he bother?
The immortal sect has existed for a long time. They can still survive without Ding Huan. Having him is just like having a few more immortal springs.
If the leaders of the major immortal sects knew that Ding Huan could only defeat a few immortal springs, they would probably go crazy.
Fairy springs, each one of them is the foundation of the immortal sect and a major scoring item for the immortal sect ranking. Can it be described as just a few more fairy springs?
Outside the fairy city is a third-level fairy formation, and Ding Huan thinks it is okay.
Based on what he had seen recently while walking in the Fourth Immortal Realm, most of the immortal gates' protective formations were level two and three, with only a very small number being level four.
This is normal. After all, in the fairyland, the danger seems to be a kind of fairy-stealing insect that appears from nowhere.
The fourth fairyland also seems to have strict laws. The immortal gates rarely fight each other, and there are no top-level fairy beasts. The only thing to do is to stop the fairy-stealing insects.
As for setting up a higher level immortal formation, let’s not talk about whether we can hire such a high-level formation master.
The daily consumption of immortal crystals for a high-level immortal formation is a considerable expense, so for the barren Fourth Immortal Realm, it is best to save as much as possible.
Four huge characters with fairy rhyme are suspended outside the fairy city: Yaoyue Fairy City.
"You need to pay immortal crystals to enter the immortal city. The Yaoyue Immortal City charges ten immortal crystals per day." Ding Huan was stopped by the city guards at the door.
Ding Huan asked: "If I pay 100 immortal crystals, but I don't stay for the full ten days, will I be refunded?"
Having said that, Ding Huan felt that this was really expensive.
If he had not entered the Fourth Immortal Realm, he might not have had any idea about Immortal Crystals. Now he knew very well that ten Immortal Crystals were not a small fortune for an ordinary cultivator.
The city guard saw that he was an outsider cultivator. He smiled and said, "You must have been expelled from the Immortal Sect, right? You won't be able to leave here, but if you pay one hundred Immortal Crystals and don't stay for ten days, you can come back later."
As soon as these words were spoken, Ding Huan knew that this city guard was also expelled by a certain immortal sect. However, he was lucky enough to find a job as a city guard, which allowed him to make ends meet.
Ding Huan took out a hundred immortal crystals and handed them over: "I'll order ten days first."
When the city guard saw Ding Huan take out a hundred fairy crystals at once, his eyes lit up. This man was definitely a wealthy man.
If it weren't for the clear stipulation in the city guard rules that prohibits inquiring about the details of guests entering the city, he really wanted to make friends with Ding Huan and ask him where he made his fortune.
Why was it that after he was fired, he could only find work as a city guard, but Ding Huan could act like a big shot and casually take out a hundred fairy crystals and enter the city?
The city guard quickly issued a jade token for Ding Huan, on which were written the words "Yao Yue". In addition to these two words, there was also a formation pattern.
There is a number written on this formation pattern, ten.
Ding Huan understood that it seemed that for every day he stayed here, the number would decrease by one. If he left Yaoyue Fairy City, the number on the jade token would remain unchanged.
After putting away the jade token, Ding Huan decided to stay in Yaoyue Fairy City for a while, then sort out some situations in the Fourth Fairyland and make plans for his future.
As soon as he entered Yaoyue Fairy City, Ding Huan felt that the ten low-grade fairy crystals he spent every day were not in vain.
In the fourth fairyland where fairy spiritual energy is so scarce, the fairy spiritual energy here is surprisingly very good.
If ordinary cultivators practice here, they will definitely achieve very good results.
There is no doubt that there must be a fairy spring here.
Using ten immortal crystals to practice alone would not only be a huge waste, but would also not lead to any noticeable improvement.
It is different in Yaoyue Fairy City. The fairy spirit here is systematic and exists throughout the entire fairy city space. Practicing for a day in such a place is much better than practicing for a day in the wilderness with ten fairy crystals.
There were quite a few people in Yaoyue Fairy City. When Ding Huan scanned with his divine sense, he found that there were also people from Xianfan Bridge, but relatively speaking, there were fewer of them.
The majority are in the True Immortal realm, accounting for more than half of the total. Then there are a very small number of people whose cultivation is higher than that of True Immortals. Ding Huan estimated that they should be Golden Immortal cultivators.
In the Fourth Immortal Realm, Golden Immortal cultivators are considered to be those with high cultivation levels.
Ding Huan walked into a commercial building and asked, "Excuse me, do you have a jade slip introducing the Fourth Immortal Realm's Immortal Gate? And a jade slip for its location?"
"Yes." The waiter immediately took out two jade slips and handed them to Ding Huan.
Ding Huan scanned it with his mind and laughed, "The ones introduced on your jade slip are all the immortal sects that have developed very well. Even the immortal sects that have not developed well, or even the immortal sects that have been destroyed, should also be introduced." When the clerk heard what Ding Huan said, he immediately laughed and said, "I see, you want to go to these annihilated immortal sects to find the immortal springs, right?"
Ding Huan subconsciously touched his head. Was he so obvious? He seemed to have only asked one question.
Before the guy could speak, a young monk smiled and said:
"Generally, cultivators who have just arrived in the Fourth Immortal Realm want to go to this kind of destroyed immortal gate to look for the immortal spring, so this is not a secret, everyone knows it."
So that’s how it is. It seems there are a lot of smart people out there.
"Yes, I'm too poor, so I want to try my luck." Ding Huan simply stopped hiding it.
The clerk shook his head and said, "My fellow Taoist, what you have thought of has already been thought of by the Immortal Sect. Generally, when an Immortal Sect is destroyed, someone will take over the territory.
Some immortal sects were destroyed due to natural disasters, and the territories of these immortal sects would be occupied by new immortal sects in the first place.
Some immortal sects can no longer support themselves, so they will actively sell their land before they perish. Regardless of the method, it is not the turn of ordinary casual cultivators to obtain the land of immortal sects. "
Ding Huan felt helpless. He could only shake the jade slip in his hand and asked, "How many immortal crystals?"
"One fairy crystal in total." The guy was honest and didn't ask for an exorbitant price.
Ding Huan paid the immortal crystals and held the two jade slips, feeling a little worried.
Could it be possible that he was looking for another immortal sect to join?
Along the way, he did encounter some immortal gates, which were all closed with protective formations.
Ding Huan couldn't help but think of his first life. He saw a classmate looking for a job by hanging around outside companies in industrial parks, but it was of no use.
Do I have to wander around outside the major immortal gates now?
No, he didn't want to be bound by the Immortal Sect. Once he sought to join the Immortal Sect, he would definitely become a tool for the Immortal Sect to find the Fairy Spring.
He is not a tool.
When he reached the corner of the street, Ding Huan saw a shop with the word "For Sale" written on it.
If I start a small business, wouldn't it be possible to survive here?
Thinking of this, Ding Huan walked straight into the store.
The man guarding the store was a short-haired man. When he saw Ding Huan coming in, he asked casually, "What's the matter? Our store is temporarily closed."
"How much fairy crystals does your shop sell for?" Ding Huan asked.
The man looked Ding Huan up and down before saying, "Thirty-seven thousand immortal crystals."
"What if I rent it out?" Ding Huan knew he couldn't afford the price.
The man said calmly, "One hundred immortal crystals per month."
Ding Huan was stunned. So cheap? Does this mean that he only needs to spend 100 immortal crystals every month to stay in Yaoyue Immortal City for a month?
Not only is there no accommodation fee, but there is no need to pay ten immortal crystals every day.
But before Ding Huan could finish his good thoughts, the man said again: "You have to pay for the immortal crystals in Yaoyue Immortal City every day."
Ding Huan then realized that what was really expensive was not the rent, but the 300 fairy crystals that Yaoyue Fairy City charged every month.
The owner of this shop was probably forced to sell the shop because his business was not doing well and he had to pay the fairy crystals to Yaoyue Fairy City every month.
Ding Huan hesitated for a moment and said, "Can I rent it for three months to try it out?"
"Sure, but you have to pay the immortal crystals first." The shop owner said without hesitation.
Ding Huan took out three hundred fairy crystals and the shop owner took out the lease contract, and the two quickly completed the shop lease transaction.
The owner left the store quickly as if he had dropped a hot potato.
Ding Huan looked over the contract and found no major problems, except that there was a store management fee that he needed to pay.
Isn't this similar to the sanitation cleaning fee on Earth? Just a few fairy crystals at most, so Ding Huan didn't take it seriously.
After Ding Huan cleaned up the shop, he was still thinking about what kind of business he should do.
He is good at setting up battle formations, but he can’t sell them.
Talismans are fine, but he can only make ninth-level talismans now. Ninth-level talismans seem a little low-grade here, and there shouldn't be many people who would buy them.
Before Ding Huan could figure out what business he should start, people from Yaoyue Fairy City came to collect management fees.
When Ding Huan heard that it would cost 100 immortal crystals per month, he looked at the shabby little shop he was renting and sighed in his heart, no wonder the owner wanted to sell it, he couldn't afford to keep the shop open.
(Good night, fellow Taoists, please support me with monthly tickets!)
