Chapter 216 Qingyun

The sun is blazing and the sky is blue.

A black gold flying ship was flying at high speed in the blue sky. The flying ship had pointed ends and a round middle, and its shape was like a huge golden date pit.

The four-zhang long black gold flying ship has a cabin of two zhang in the middle that can accommodate twelve people.

There were only four people and a little black cat sitting in the cabin at the moment.

Gao Xian and Yun Chenglin, the owner of Yunshui Tower in Lianyun City, sat opposite each other and chatted all the way.

Yun Chenglin mainly introduced the customs and culture of Qingyun City to Gao Xian, and also talked about the general situation of Qingyun Sect.

Yun Chenglin was more sensible and only mentioned briefly about the situation of Qingyun Sect.

Gao Xian was just chatting casually and didn't think about any inside information from Yun Chenglin.

The Qingyun Sect was a hundred times more powerful than the Lianyun Sect, and its internal situation was so complicated that even Yun Qiushui would find it difficult to explain it in a short time. Not to mention that Yun Chenglin was just a peripheral deacon of the Yunshui Tower, and he probably had no access to the secrets of the Qingyun Sect.

He knew that the news was probably just hearsay. If you really listened to him, you might end up in trouble.

Gao Xian's intention for coming here was very simple, which was to become a true disciple.

As the saying goes, it's nice to sit under a big tree and enjoy the shade.

By chance, he got to know Yun Qiu Shui, so of course he had to put this connection to use.

The path of cultivation is so bumpy and rugged that a wrong step may very likely change your destiny.

Being able to practice in a large sect like Qingyun Sect would surely help you avoid countless detours.

Gao Xian was chatting with Yun Chenglin, when Wan Yingying, who was leaning against the window, suddenly shouted excitedly, "Brother, Qingyun City, we're here."

Wan Yingying was just in a position where she could see the huge city ahead. Actually, she couldn't see it clearly. She just saw from afar large blocks of buildings undulating and spreading out on the ground. There were so many densely packed buildings that she couldn't see the end at a glance.

Yun Chenglin stood up and looked outside, a smile on his face: "Qingyun City is ahead, our trip is really going smoothly."

It was at least tens of thousands of miles from Lianyun City to Qingyun City. Even though the Black Gold Flying Ship was fast, it would still take two days and two nights to get there.

Ninety-nine percent of the way we flew here were uninhabited mountains, hills and grasslands.

Among them are inevitably various kinds of demon birds, some of which fly faster than the Xuanjin flying ship.

The black gold flying ships traveling between Qingyun and Lianyun cities often encounter attacks from monster birds. This is also the fundamental reason why they use fully enclosed black gold flying ships.

Yun Chenglin has traveled between the two places many times, and it is rare for things to go so smoothly, so he is in a good mood.

Yun Chenglin returned to Qingyun City for something very important this time, so he took Gao Xian, Wan Yingying, Daniu and a little black cat with him.

For this, Gao Xian paid 800 Lingshi for the shipping fee. Yun Chenglin gave him a discount because he was an old customer.

Gao Xian originally thought the price was a bit high, but after working through it, he felt it was quite acceptable.

The enclosed Xuanjin flying ship was not big but still comfortable. Especially since Wan Yingying was young and had low cultivation, she could not withstand flying day and night and had to rest well.

The little black cat was also quite delicate and needed to be taken care of. Only the big cow was strong and durable. He had been taking care of Wan Yingying and the little black cat for the past two days, and now he looked very tired.

Seeing Qingyun City, Daniu was also cheered up. They had finally arrived.

Gao Xian stood up and walked to the window, and the huge Qingyun City came into view.

Qingyun City and Lianyun City are very similar in terrain and environment, both are surrounded by mountains and water.

The difference is that Qingyun City is backed by towering green mountains, with green clouds lingering on the peaks, connecting the green mountains and the blue sky together.

The mountains are so high and the sky is so vast, with misty clouds, a few groups of birds circling there, and occasionally a ray of light appears and disappears among them. It really has a fairy-like atmosphere.

The huge city at the foot of the mountain is neatly planned, and the criss-crossing straight streets divide the city into neat areas, like a huge chessboard.

Gao Xian was quite impressed by this. He had seen many well-planned cities in his previous life, but in terms of strictness, Qingyun City was far superior to all the cities he had ever seen.

Each long street is extremely straight, without any bends or any unnecessary buildings or obstacles.

Yun Chenglin introduced: "Qingyun City has thirteen long streets running through the entire city, with a total of 169 districts. According to the two long streets in the middle, it can be divided into four districts: east, south, west, north..."

Gao Xian looked at the layout of Qingyun City with great interest. It looked very similar to Lianyun City, only bigger and more regular.

According to Yun Chenglin, when Qingyun City was first built, a Nascent Soul Sword cultivator from the Qingyun Sect personally took action and used his peerless sword intent to draw thirteen long streets across Qingyun City.

Thousands of years have passed, but his peerless sword intent is still there, maintaining the strictness of the thirteen streets.

Therefore, Lianyun City actually imitated the layout of Qingyun City. However, without the peerless sword intent to divide the market, it could not be as strict as Qingyun City.

Even from such a distance, Gao Xian could still feel the rich spiritual energy of Qingyun City. According to the classification of spiritual energy, Lianyun City was considered a second-level spiritual place, and Qingyun City was at least a third-level spiritual place, especially Qingyun Mountain, where the rich spiritual energy was as dense as clouds...

Gao Xian sighed in his heart, it was such a sacred place, no wonder cultivators from all sides were trying their best to get here.

"Qingyun City has three million people, one million of whom are registered as residents, and more than two million are registered as guests..."

Gao Xian asked curiously, "What are the terms host and guest?"

"The main registered residents are the locals of Qingyun City, who are registered in the Qingyun City household register. The guest registered residents are cultivators who do not have a registered household register."

Yun Chenglin explained: "The cost of living in Qingyun City is high, and the locals will receive various preferential treatments. Foreign cultivators have to pay higher costs for food, clothing, housing and transportation. The cost of living here is high, and it is difficult for ordinary independent cultivators to live here permanently..."

Please...collect 6...9...books...!

Speaking of this, Yun Chenglin was also full of emotion. As the steward of Yunshui Tower, he had to struggle for many years to obtain the mastership of Qingyun City.

Ninety percent of his family, relatives and friends have no primary citizenship, and he has no good way to deal with it.

The main registered permanent residence is passed down from generation to generation. Even though there are hundreds of thousands of main registered permanent residences, not many of them are circulated outside.

Every year, a large number of independent cultivators come to Qingyun City with their dreams in mind and invest everything here. However, most of them can only return to their hometown alone and sadly, without even the qualifications to stay in Qingyun City for retirement.

Yun Chenglin quickly realized that there were some things he shouldn't have said, and he hurriedly said, "Those are all low-level cultivators. You are a great cultivator who has established a foundation. You can even go to the main city of Wanfeng without any problems, let alone Qingyun City."

Gao Xian smiled and said, "I am unfamiliar with this place, so I hope you can take care of me."

"I dare not say that I am taking care of you. Just tell me if you have anything to say. I have some connections in Qingyun City..."

Yun Chenglin hurriedly apologized with a smile. Although he was the deacon of Yunshui Tower, Gao Xian was a foundation-building cultivator, and there was a big gap between their identities.

He called Gao Xian "fellow Taoist", which was actually a bit presumptuous. But Gao Xian insisted on doing so, and the two sides cooperated happily, so he just called him that.

Yun Chenglin was not very optimistic about Gao Xian's future. Gao Xian was known as the number one foundation-building cultivator in the four sects. Of course, he was very impressive in the four sects, and no one could match him.

But this is Qingyun City, which has thirty-six sects under its jurisdiction. Small sects like Lianyun and Qingfeng, which are located on the edge of Mingzhou, can only be ranked at the bottom among the thirty-six sects.

The Qingyun Dharma Assembly is held once every sixty years, and geniuses from all sects gather here.

It is too difficult for Gao Xian to sweep away all the heroes and become the best!

No matter what, Gao Xian was not someone he could afford to offend. If the other party needed help, he would certainly try his best to help.

The Xuanjin flying ship slowly landed in the open square outside the north gate of Qingyun City. Yun Chenglin led Gao Xian and the others to register. Each of them paid ten spirit stones in exchange for a waist badge representing their temporary residence.

Yun Chenglin explained: "The waist badges must be replaced every six months. If you don't have a waist badge, you will be arrested by the law enforcement team. The consequences are quite serious. Fellow Taoists and others must be careful..."

Wan Yingying and Daniu were both shocked. To live here for a year and do nothing, one had to pay twenty spirit stones. This price was really outrageous.

Gao Xian didn't care. This kind of rule was of course for the purpose of making money, but it could also better control the population and prevent too many independent cultivators from flowing in.

Gao Xian hired a carriage and arrived at a house in the East District according to the address left earlier.

Daniu went up to knock on the door, and soon Zhou Ye, with an impatient look on his face, came out to open the door, "Who is it?"

Zhou Ye was startled when he saw Gao Xian at the door, "You're here..."

Gao Xian looked past Zhou Ye and towards the yard, "Where's Yuling?"

"Well……"
