Chen Luo walked slowly along the river, watching the performances of the vendors passing by.

The layout of Yaowang City is perfect. When viewed from above, it looks like a giant circular city. Except for the spiritual mountain in the middle, the urban area is all sloping. There are surrounding wooden buildings on the slope, and a large river flows from north to south, dividing Yaowang City into two. The residents of Yaowang City live along the river.

There is no distinction between inner and outer cities.

The closer to the top of the mountain, the more expensive the house price. The spiritual energy is becoming more and more abundant, and those who can live halfway up the mountain are all strong among the cultivators.

In front of a wooden courtyard, Chen Luo raised his hand and knocked on the door.

"Who are you looking for?"

The servant stuck his head out and looked at Chen Luo suspiciously. He didn't know Chen Luo. As a doorman, he had a very good memory and could remember all the important guests of the owner.

"I'm looking for Meiqin."

Chen Luo said a name.

It was the female foundation-building cultivator who had come here with him on the flying boat before. Mei Qin had made a deal with him at the beginning. The first Jindan technique Chen Luo obtained after coming to Tiannan Region was given to him by Mei Qin. After they parted in the market town, Mei Qin left Chen Luo her contact information.

Originally, Chen Luo hadn't intended to trouble Mei Qin, and he didn't have a very deep relationship with the other party. However, it is too troublesome to check in to Yaowang City, and the check-in control for outside cultivators is very strict. If one wants to live in Yaowang City, one must find a local cultivator to guarantee him, or make a contribution to Yaowang City.

Immortal cultivators who have obtained the qualification of alchemist in Yaowang City can also move in, but that qualification, apart from the tedious assessment, also represents trouble. There will be a series of alchemy tasks to be done later, which is inconsistent with Chen Luo's original intention of retreating, so he thought about it and finally decided to trouble this junior sister who he had only met once.

"Brother Chen?!"

A surprised voice came from inside.

Mei Qin rushed to the door instantly after hearing the noise. She didn't expect Chen Luo to really come to her family. When she received the message from Chen Luo just now, she thought the other party was joking.

When she was making a deal with Chen Luo on the flying boat, she wanted to ask the other party to come and help the family set up a defensive formation. In the end, the other party refused, but unexpectedly, after a few months, the other party came to me on their own initiative.

"I'm passing through Yaowang City and want to find a place to stay."

Chen Luo said with a smile.

"Come in."

Mei Qin immediately pulled Chen Luo into the house.

Seeing this, the doorman next to him tactfully retracted his neck and didn't dare to ask any more questions.

Mei Qin is from a family of immortal cultivators in Yaowang City. She was diagnosed with the aptitude to cultivate immortality since she was a child. Because of her mother's relationship, she was sent to the Qionghua Sect and became a disciple of the Taixuan Peak of the Qionghua Sect. Later, she went out with her mother to found the Chixia Peak.

The reason she came back this time was because something happened in her family. Her father passed away, and the main family of Yaowang City lost the protection of the foundation-building cultivators, so she took the risk to rush back. She went to Chen Luo on the road to exchange the formation for the sake of her family, and for this she did not hesitate to take out the secret of Kuishui.

The Mei family's courtyard is very large, but there are not many family members, and even fewer who have the qualifications to cultivate immortals. When Chen Luo came in, he only saw three qualified descendants, and the rest were ordinary people. The same goes for the inheritance of a family of immortal cultivators. It does not mean that the children born to immortal cultivators will necessarily have spiritual roots. It can only be said that the probability is greater than that of ordinary people.

"These three children have good spiritual roots. If you are interested, you can give them some guidance."

“It’s really good.”

Chen Luo sensed it and found that the three children all had middle-grade spiritual roots, and one of them even had a high-grade spiritual root. Although he is not as good as his disciple Mu Xiaoyu, he is also considered a rare talent, and the probability of him building a foundation in the future is much higher than that of ordinary cultivators.

"This is your Grandpa Chen. He will be staying in our Mei family for a few days. If you encounter something you don't understand in your cultivation, you must seize the opportunity to ask." Mei Qin hinted to the three juniors.

"Meet Grandpa Chen."

The three children bowed respectfully and greeted him, but they looked over with curiosity.

They wanted to know what kind of existence could make their grandmother treat it so seriously. Although Mei Qin is Chen Luo's "junior sister" and looks very young, she has actually been practicing for more than two hundred years. Two hundred years of being in the middle stage of foundation building is not slow. In the family, she is the grandmother. Some members of the family who have a fast lineage pass on their family lineage call Mei Qin "ancestor" when they meet her and kowtow to her directly when they meet.

Meiqin was already used to this, but it was the first time for Chen Luo to be a "grandfather". Looking at the three children with curious faces, he couldn't help but smile.

"Three little gadgets, I'll give them to you as gifts."

Chen Luo took out three first-level magic weapons from his storage bag and gave them away. These three magical instruments were left by the master of Rock Peak. He had made a fortune on the ship before, and he hadn’t had time to take a closer look at them. As the master of an outer peak, he must have a lot of similar rewards. Not to mention that in addition to the storage bag of the Lord of Rock Peak, Chen Luo also had the storage bags of the Lord of Heart Sword Peak and others.

"Thank you, Grandpa Chen."

The three youngsters who received the magic weapon were pleasantly surprised. They did not expect that this 'Grandpa Chen' was so generous. Even though the first-grade magic weapon in Chen Luo's hand looks like a piece of rubbish, if it were placed in the outside market, these things would cost a huge price to buy. As one of the four arts of immortal cultivation, the status of the weapon refiner is as high as that of the alchemist.

Many independent cultivators who have reached the perfection of Qi Refining may not have a magic weapon in their hands.

"I'm sorry to have cost you money, brother."

Mei Qin was also very happy. It seemed that this senior brother's "humanity" had not been severed. She had heard many rumors about great monks in the Perfection Realm before.

This group of people are close to forming a pill, and each of them is trying to end their worldly ties, some even cut off all emotions and desires, just hoping to survive the inner demon calamity. Compared with these people, Chen Luo obviously has much more "humanity".

'From this perspective, Senior Brother Chen still has some way to go before he can achieve Dan. '

Meiqin made a judgment based on his own known experience.

After treating Chen Luo to some spiritual tea, Mei Qin arranged accommodation for Chen Luo. The location is naturally the place with the most spiritual energy in the Mei family. Chen Luo gladly accepted Mei Qin's arrangement.

He never felt that human relationships were a burden, and that spiritual practice was also a way to cultivate one's mind.

How to cultivate your mind without entering the worldly world?

What's more, he was practicing the Heart Demon Art, and he would need to expend a lot of effort to find the 'heart demon' later. How could he possibly learn from those people to sit in the mountains and cut off all emotions and desires?

"Have you deployed the Xuanwu formation flag I gave you earlier?"

Chen Luo asked casually.

"It has been arranged. We have tested the effect and it can defend against attacks from the Foundation Establishment Stage." Mei Qin's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she immediately took Chen Luo to the arrangement point of the Xuanwu formation flags.

He bought this set of formation flags from Chen Luo, so he naturally knew Chen Luo's identity as a formation master. Now that the other party asked, it was obvious that he was going to help him arrange it personally.

“The location is good, but these points can be modified.”

Chen Luo found several shortcomings in Mei Qin's arrangement with a quick glance. This is also a common problem for all non-formation masters. They always think that the deeper the formation flags are hidden, the safer they are. But in fact, this is not the case. For formation masters, once the formation is in operation, the effect will be the same no matter where the formation flags are hidden. Deliberately hiding them will deviate from the best formation position and leave flaws.

Spiritual energy flickered, and silk threads flashed from Chen Luo's fingertips. One by one, the formation flags connected to the ground began to change their positions and fill the gaps.

Soon Chen Luo modified the Xuanwu Formation arranged by Mei Qin, repaired several visible loopholes, and added some auxiliary restrictions to increase the power of the formation by another 10%.

"Thank you, Brother!"

Although Mei Qin didn't know what Chen Luo had modified, she could clearly feel that the power of the formation had become stronger.

This is the advantage of the formation master taking action personally.

It’s a pity that there are too few formation masters, and each of them is a big shot who is hard to find. It is impossible to invite them to your home on weekdays.

After helping Mei Qin modify the formation, Chen Luo settled down in the Mei family.

After traveling all the way, I finally settled down.

Inside the room, Chen Luo took out the gourd of Guiyuan Dan and poured it out twice with his hands. Two pills with dan patterns on them fell into his palm.

"No more?"

Chen Luo shook the gourd and found that there was really no pill inside. The pills made from the resources of Gumo Mountain and Shenhu Xianmen have been officially consumed.

"We will need to exchange some spiritual materials later. There should be a lot of spiritual materials in Medicine King City."

After taking the pill, Chen Luo sat cross-legged with his eyes closed and began his daily practice.

While Chen Luo was practicing in seclusion, the Alchemist Conference of Yaowang City was officially held. Young alchemists from all over the Tiannan Region gathered here, wanting to show their talents. (End of this chapter)
