The Tao of Immortality Gu: Start by refining the Infatuation Gu

In the blink of an eye, a year flies by.

Almost a year has passed since I was surrounded by the monks of Youmo Sect.

The monks staying in Miyun City still have no way to leave, and the Youmo Sect monks have no intention of backing down. They are still attacking the second-level formation in Miyun City every day, constantly consuming the energy of the formation.

Basically, this has become the habit of the monks in Miyun City.

Both sides seem to be in a balanced state, and no one can do anything to win over the other.

The monks staying in the city are becoming more and more restless. After all, no one knows when this war will end.

"call!"

At this moment, in the quiet room, Zhou Sui sat cross-legged on the ground, finishing his day's practice.

After a year of hard training, his cultivation has made great progress, and he has made 40% progress in the seventh level of Qi training.

There is nothing we can do about this.

After all, the slower you get to the later stages, the slower your cultivation speed becomes, and it’s not that easy to improve.

Of course, his gains this year were not just about cultivation.

More importantly, his understanding of elixirs has also improved to a higher level. The alchemist can become a second-level alchemist just one step short of reaching the first-level high-level alchemy master.

The reason why he has not been able to become a second-level alchemy master is simply because he lacks the inherited knowledge of a second-level alchemy master.

In addition, his Five Elements Alchemy Technique has also been upgraded to the level of Xiaocheng, which has also made an astonishing improvement in his alchemy skills and greatly increased the success rate of alchemy.

In addition, the magic of phantom transformation has also been upgraded from the level of proficiency to the level of minor achievement. After reaching this level, even the golden elixir monks cannot see through his disguise or his cultivation.

You can completely show off in front of the Jindan monks, and you don't need to worry about the other party seeing through your true face.

Of course, after reaching the level of Xiaocheng, the speed of improvement slows down a lot, almost to the point where it is almost impossible to move forward.

If it weren't for the help of Book Gu, even a talented demonic monk would have spent more than a hundred years cultivating this skill to a small level.

It can be said that his rate of progress is quite astonishing.

"Ms. sir, I'm afraid Miyun City is going to increase the rent."

At this time, Ji Bingyu said to Zhou Sui, who had just walked out of the quiet room.

"Rent increase? What does that mean?"

Zhou Sui narrowed his eyes.

Because the rent in Miyun City is already very expensive now. Two middle-grade spiritual stones are needed per month, which is equivalent to two hundred low-grade spiritual stones. Not many monks can afford it.

Even though there are many spiritual stones in the Yunwu Mountains, the price of spiritual stones is not particularly high.

But this is basically the limit that a monk can bear.

If the rent is increased, these monks may rise up.

"It is said that it is because Miyun City is running out of spiritual stones."

Mu Ziyan explained: "After all, if you want to maintain a second-level formation, you still need a large amount of spiritual stones as energy. Over the past year, the Youmo Sect monks have continued to attack, causing the spiritual stones stored in Miyun City to be consumed very quickly.

If there are not enough spirit stones, then the formation in Miyun City will naturally not be able to be maintained. In order to maintain the operation of the formation, Xianxia Sect decided to increase the rent for the monks living in the city.

However, all monks living in the city need to pay expensive rent so that they can continue to live in Miyun City, otherwise they have to leave Miyun City. "

She briefly explained why Miyun City wanted to increase the rent because it was forced by the situation.

If there are not enough spirit stones, Miyun City's formation will collapse sooner or later, and no one will be able to make a difference at that time.

"If the rent needs to be increased, how many spiritual stones should be added?"

Zhou Sui asked.

"It is said that the rent will at least double, which is four medium-grade spiritual stones per month."

Xia Jingyan named a number.

"Four middle-grade spiritual stones? That's not bad."

Hearing this, Zhou Sui breathed a sigh of relief. For him, just four middle-grade spiritual stones were nothing for the time being, nor was it a heavy burden.

After all, he now has five thousand middle-grade spiritual stones.

If it can be done with some spiritual stones, then everything is not a big problem.

Even if it takes four or five years to pay the rent, he can definitely afford it.

"It is indeed nothing to us, but it is not the case to other monks."

Ji Bingyu shook her head: "Because now it's not just that the rent has increased. The prices of runes, magic weapons, elixirs, elixirs, etc. have all increased crazily. Compared with before, they have more than doubled.

What is even more astonishing is the price of spiritual rice and spiritual meat. Compared with a year ago, it has at least tripled, and even if you have money, you may not be able to buy it. Now there is a shortage of rice and meat everywhere in Miyun City. It is said that there are already neighbors The monk had been hungry for three days and three nights. He was so hungry that he began to chew wood. He looked for people to borrow food everywhere, but no one paid attention to him. "

She said that prices in Miyun City have begun to rise crazily, with prices rising almost every day.

If Miyun City had not been blocked by Youmo Sect, food would be everywhere.

Because outside the city is the Yunwu Mountains, where a large number of monsters live.

One monster beast weighs hundreds or even thousands of kilograms of meat.

The previous monster meat was worthless and cheap.

As for Lingmi, a large amount of farmland has been cultivated outside, and there is a good harvest every year.

This also resulted in the monks in Miyun City having no sense of crisis, and the price of food has been very stable.

It even smells like planting low-priced grain and hurting farmers.

They never thought that they would be short of food and meat.

Therefore, this also means that Miyun City does not have a lot of food reserves.

After only one year of lockdown, Miyun City began to experience large-scale food shortages.

"It is said that the Xianxia Sect monks in Miyun City have begun to shrink their food supply. The shops on the streets no longer sell food and meat, and the supply is limited every day."

Xia Jingyan said in a deep voice.

Now, in order to maintain the stability of order and prevent these hungry monks from starting riots, Miyun City has begun to restrict the sale of food, and each person has to purchase a limited amount every day.

This allowed the grain market to temporarily stabilize.

After all, there is nothing that can be done about it. Monks are also human beings and will feel hungry as well.

Even foundation-building monks and golden elixir monks will still be hungry and need to eat.

"Mr. Sir, fortunately we made preparations in advance and stocked up a lot of supplies, otherwise we would have been hungry now."

Mu Ziyan was very happy.

She also didn't expect that one day she would worry about food. As a monk, it would be a big joke to starve to death, but in the besieged Miyun City, it might become a reality.

However, since they had been hoarding food and spiritual meat for more than ten years before, there was no need to grab the limited supply of food, and they could still eat and drink every day.

Compared with other monks, their lives are countless times better.

Fortunately, my husband had the foresight, otherwise people like myself might have followed in the footsteps of those monks.
