Longevity Gu Dao: Start from refining infatuation Gu

Chapter 71 One year of siege, rising rent, skyrocketing prices

In the blink of an eye, a year is fleeting.

Surrounded by monks of Youmo sect, almost a year has passed.

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

Basically, this has formed 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 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, ending his day of practice.

After a year of painstaking training, his cultivation base has also made great progress, and the progress of the seventh level of Qi training has also reached 40%.

This is also impossible.

After all, the later the stage, the slower the speed of cultivation, which is not so easy to improve.

Of course, what he has gained this year is not just cultivation.

More importantly, his understanding of elixirs has also improved to a higher level. The alchemist's cultivation base has reached 99% of the first-rank top-rank, and he is only one step away from becoming a second-rank alchemist.

The reason why he has not been able to become a second-tier alchemist is just that he lacks the inheritance knowledge of a second-tier alchemist.

In addition, his five elements alchemy formula has also been promoted to the realm of Xiaocheng, which has also greatly improved his alchemy skills, and the success rate of alchemy has greatly increased.

Also, Illusory Demon Transformation Technique has also been promoted from the level of proficiency to the level of Xiaocheng. After reaching this level, even a Golden Core cultivator can't see through his disguise, nor can he see through his cultivation base.

It is completely possible to swagger in front of Jindan monks, and there is no need to worry that the other party will see through their true colors.

Of course, after reaching the Xiaocheng level, the speed of improvement has slowed down a lot, almost to the point where it is difficult to move an inch.

If it wasn't for the help of the Book Gu, even a talented demonic monk would need to spend more than 100 years to cultivate this technique to the level of minor success.

It can be said that his speed of progress is quite amazing.

"Sir, I'm afraid Miyun City will increase the rent."

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

"Rent increase? What does that mean?"

Zhou Sui narrowed his eyes.

Because the rent in Miyun City is quite expensive now, two middle-grade spirit stones are needed a month, which is equivalent to two hundred low-grade spirit stones, and not many monks can afford it.

Even though there are a lot of spirit stones in the Yunwu Mountains, the price of spirit stones is not particularly high.

But this is basically the limit that monks can bear.

If the rent is increased, I am afraid that these monks will rise up.

"It is said that it is because the spirit stones in Miyun City are running out."

Mu Ziyan explained: "After all, if you want to maintain a second-order large formation, you still need a lot of spirit stones as energy. Over the past year, the monks of the Youmo sect have continuously attacked, causing the spirit stones stored in Miyun City to be consumed quickly.

If there were not enough spirit stones, then the large formation in Miyun City would naturally be unable to maintain. In order to maintain the operation of this large formation, Xianxiazong decided to increase the rent for the monks living in the city.

But all the monks who live 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 the rent increase in Miyun City 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 please.

"If you want to increase the rent, how many spirit stones do you need?"

Zhou Sui asked.

"It is said that the rent will be doubled at least, that is four middle-grade spirit stones per month."

Xia Jingyan said a number.

"Four middle-grade spirit stones? That's okay."

Hearing this, Zhou Sui breathed a sigh of relief. To him, the mere four middle-grade spirit stones are nothing for the time being, nor is it a heavy burden.

After all, he now has 5000 yuan of middle-grade spirit stones.

If it can be done with a little Lingshi, then everything is not a big problem.

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

"It's really nothing to us, but it's not the case to other monks."

Ji Bingyu shook her head: "Because it's not just a simple increase in rent, the prices of runes, magic tools, elixir, elixir, etc. have all gone up crazily, more than doubled compared to before.

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

She said that the price of goods in Miyun City has started to rise crazily, and the price is almost a day.

If Miyun City hadn't been blocked by Youmo Sect, food would be everywhere.

Because outside the city is the Cloud and Mist Mountains, where a large number of monsters live.

A monster beast has hundreds of catties of meat.

The previous monster meat was worthless at all, and the price was low.

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

This also caused the monks in Miyun City to have no sense of crisis, and the price of food has been stable.

There is even a taste of cheap rice hurting farmers.

They never thought that they would have a day when they would be short of food and meat.

So this also made Miyun City not have a lot of food reserves.

After only one year of blockade, Miyun City began to experience a large-scale food shortage.

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

Xia Jingyan said in a low voice.

Now, in order to maintain the stability of order and prevent these hungry monks from rioting, Miyun City began to restrict the sale of food, and each person bought a limited amount every day.

This has temporarily stabilized the grain market.

After all, there is no way to do it. Cultivators are also human beings, so they will also feel hungry.

Even Foundation Establishment cultivators and Golden Core cultivators will still be hungry and need to eat.

"Msister, fortunately we have prepared in advance and hoarded a lot of supplies, otherwise we may be hungry now."

Mu Ziyan was overjoyed.

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

However, since they have hoarded food and spiritual meat for more than ten years before, there is no need to grab the limited supply of food, and they can still eat and eat every day.

Compared with other monks, their lives don't know how many times better.

Fortunately, my father-in-law has the foresight, otherwise people like myself may follow in the footsteps of those monks.
